Hi Robertsky
I'd like to contest your decision to add Al Saud to a load of pages on Saudi royal princes. These names have been contested repeatedly over the years and the consensus has been generally to omit Al Saud. Furthermore, WP:COMMONNAME clearly favours the form without the extra Al Saud on the end... e.g. 118,000 hits vs. 30,000 for one example I looked at.

I have a reference that says it is found there, but the article was published in 1916. It is written by the State Geologist at the time. Is there a way to suggest an edit? I'm not sure if perhaps that locality was invalidated later. -- Rokhugr ( talk) 18:23, 9 February 2024 (UTC)

In recognition of your thoroughness and attention to Wikipedia's policies when closing the discussion on moving the Flour massacre article. This was an extremely contentious move discussion, with dozens of impassioned editors arguing about the necessity of moving the original article and debating the proper title to be used. Adding to the difficulty of this move discussion was the high level of attention that the discussion received off of Wikipedia. All told, Robertsky's thorough explanation in closing the discussion demonstrated clear reasoning as to 1) why the discussion among editors had coalesced around a consensus to move the article, and 2) why a move to Flour massacre was warranted at the time of the move even in the absence of a clear consensus on a target title. -- Delta1989 ( talk) ( contributions) 16:36, 8 March 2024 (UTC) |
Hi Robertsky, I request that you reconsider your move of Al-Rashid humanitarian aid incident. Many of the support !votes were brief and perfunctory, and above all I am very concerned by outside canvassing---a Twitter post that achieved over 570,000 views [37], as was noted in the move discussion (albeit, counterintuitively, as a reason to end the discussion) [38]
That tweet, from a user with 24,700 followers, stated as follows: The Wikipedia page for the Flour Massacre euphemistically calls it the “Al-Rashid humanitarian aid incident”. This is straight up Holocaust denialism.
This tweet was posted at 6:25 pm March 1. It you examine the page view statistics for the talk page where the RM was underway [39], you can see that page views went from 193 on Feb. 29 to 2252 on March 1 and 3374 on March 2 and remained at high levels, coinciding with a surge of support !votes, as was noted in the closure request discussion [40]. The spike in talk page views subsided in the days subsequent to the canvassing on Twitter, most recently to 718 as of 3/7.
The replies to the tweet linked above actively discuss the article move discussion.
I believe the process was tainted by this outside canvassing and I request that you reconsider this action, and let the RM remain open for a meaningful additional period of time.
One other point that bears mentioning, which is somewhat obvious, is that you changed the title to a name that is completely non-neutral and is in breach of WP:NPOV, in particular WP:IMPARTIAL. Even if the "consensus" that you found was not tainted by canvassing, that alone would be sufficient not to use "massacre" in a Wikipedia title of an article on a current event in a contentious topic area.

Hey there! This is to let you know that phase I of the 2024 requests for adminship (RfA) review is now no longer accepting new proposals. Lots of proposals remain open for discussion, and the current round of review looks to be on a good track towards making significant progress towards improving RfA's structure and environment. I'd like to give my heartfelt thanks to everyone who has given us their idea for change to make RfA better, and the same to everyone who has given the necessary feedback to improve those ideas. The following proposals remain open for discussion:
To read proposals that were closed as unsuccessful, please see Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review/Phase I/Closed proposals. You are cordially invited once again to participate in the open discussions; when phase I ends, phase II will review the outcomes of trial proposals and refine the implementation details of other proposals. Another notification will be sent out when this phase begins, likely with the first successful close of a major proposal. Happy editing! theleekycauldron ( talk • she/her), via:

Hello Robertsky,
Backlog update: The October drive reduced the article backlog from 11,626 to 7,609 and the redirect backlog from 16,985 to 6,431! Congratulations to Schminnte, who led with over 2,300 points.
Following that, New Page Patrol organized another backlog drive for articles in January 2024. The January drive started with 13,650 articles and reduced the backlog to 7,430 articles. Congratulations to JTtheOG, who achieved first place with 1,340 points in this drive.
Looking at the graph, it seems like backlog drives are one of the only things keeping the backlog under control. Another backlog drive is being planned for May. Feel free to participate in the May backlog drive planning discussion.
It's worth noting that both queues are gradually increasing again and are nearing 14,034 articles and 22,540 redirects. We encourage you to keep contributing, even if it's just a single patrol per day. Your support is greatly appreciated!
2023 Awards
Onel5969 won the 2023 cup with 17,761 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 50/day. There was one Platinum Award (10,000+ reviews), 2 Gold Awards (5000+ reviews), 6 Silver (2000+), 8 Bronze (1000+), 30 Iron (360+) and 70 more for the 100+ barnstar. Hey man im josh led on redirect reviews by clearing 36,175 of them. For the full details, see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone for their efforts in reviewing!
WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers deployed the rewritten NewPagesFeed in October, and then gave the NewPagesFeed a slight visual facelift in November. This concludes most major work to Special:NewPagesFeed, and most major work by the WMF Moderator Tools team, who wrapped up their major work on PageTriage in October. The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers will continue small work on PageTriage as time permits.
Recruitment: A couple of the coordinators have been inviting editors to become reviewers, via mass-messages to their talk pages. If you know someone who you'd think would make a good reviewer, then a personal invitation to them would be great. Additionally, if there are Wikiprojects that you are active on, then you can add a post there asking participants to join NPP. Please be careful not to double invite folks that have already been invited.
Reviewing tip: Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages within their most familiar subjects can use the regularly updated NPP Browser tool.

Hi Robertsky,
I created an article for Farisha Ishak, a singer-songwriter who won the first season of the Final 1, and was signed to Hype Records. She then did hosting, acting, and advocacy work.
I created the article in January and it was quickly rejected. However, I made changes a few days later, but it has not been reviewed again since.
I cam across your username on the Wikiproject Singapore page, so I was hoping you may be able to help with getting the article reviewed?
Here is the link to the page: /info/en/?search=Draft:Farisha_Ishak
If you have other tips or think another wikiproject page is better to ask for a review, please let me know.

Regarding this request; generally, we should not be working back-to-front; if a bold move is contested what needs to happen is the move is reverted and an RM opened. Yes, things are made more complicated here by the existence of an already open RM, but that doesn't justify keeping the article at the new title after the move has been contested - per WP:RMUM, recent bold moves can be reverted at any time, and once reverted should not be reinstated.
If you aren't willing to revert the move, can you leave the request open so that it can be considered by other editors? BilledMammal ( talk) 15:57, 7 April 2024 (UTC)

@ Kingsif: Hello. A user contested the closure of this move request at WP:RM#TR. To quote the contester:
The discussion, besides being too close to not relist anyway, did not once acknowledge that the article isn't about the 2020 law, but about the concept of the law. The 2024 law is fine to be at a year-disambiguated title, but moving this article was simply inaccurate and unnecessary.
I contested it as WP:WRONGVENUE, but an explanation of the close would be helpful. Nasssa Nser 01:55, 17 April 2024 (UTC)

Hello, Robertsky,
I saw your edit summary on an edit on this page. I was kind of taken aback. A year or so ago, an editor created over 100 draft pages regarding this Portal, I can safely say they were all deleted via CSD G13. Without some strong assurance that this Portal is going to be finished and all of these blank pages filled with articles, I don't think any admin, even the nice ones at WP:REFUND will want to take the considerable time to restore all of these mass-produced pages. I think it would be better for them to start from scratch to prove that this version of the Portal won't also be abandoned in a couple of months. Liz Read! Talk! 05:18, 23 April 2024 (UTC)

Hi there! Phase I of the Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review has concluded, with several impactful changes gaining community consensus and proceeding to various stages of implementation. Some proposals will be implemented in full outright; others will be discussed at phase II before being implemented; and still others will proceed on a trial basis before being brought to phase II. The following proposals have gained consensus:
See the project page for a full list of proposals and their outcomes. A huge thank-you to everyone who has participated so far :) looking forward to seeing lots of hard work become a reality in phase II. theleekycauldron ( talk), via MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 08:09, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

Hi Robertsky
I'd like to contest your decision to add Al Saud to a load of pages on Saudi royal princes. These names have been contested repeatedly over the years and the consensus has been generally to omit Al Saud. Furthermore, WP:COMMONNAME clearly favours the form without the extra Al Saud on the end... e.g. 118,000 hits vs. 30,000 for one example I looked at.

In recognition of your thoroughness and attention to Wikipedia's policies when closing the discussion on moving the Flour massacre article. This was an extremely contentious move discussion, with dozens of impassioned editors arguing about the necessity of moving the original article and debating the proper title to be used. Adding to the difficulty of this move discussion was the high level of attention that the discussion received off of Wikipedia. All told, Robertsky's thorough explanation in closing the discussion demonstrated clear reasoning as to 1) why the discussion among editors had coalesced around a consensus to move the article, and 2) why a move to Flour massacre was warranted at the time of the move even in the absence of a clear consensus on a target title. -- Delta1989 ( talk) ( contributions) 16:36, 8 March 2024 (UTC) |
Hi Robertsky, I request that you reconsider your move of Al-Rashid humanitarian aid incident. Many of the support !votes were brief and perfunctory, and above all I am very concerned by outside canvassing---a Twitter post that achieved over 570,000 views [37], as was noted in the move discussion (albeit, counterintuitively, as a reason to end the discussion) [38]
That tweet, from a user with 24,700 followers, stated as follows: The Wikipedia page for the Flour Massacre euphemistically calls it the “Al-Rashid humanitarian aid incident”. This is straight up Holocaust denialism.
This tweet was posted at 6:25 pm March 1. It you examine the page view statistics for the talk page where the RM was underway [39], you can see that page views went from 193 on Feb. 29 to 2252 on March 1 and 3374 on March 2 and remained at high levels, coinciding with a surge of support !votes, as was noted in the closure request discussion [40]. The spike in talk page views subsided in the days subsequent to the canvassing on Twitter, most recently to 718 as of 3/7.
The replies to the tweet linked above actively discuss the article move discussion.
I believe the process was tainted by this outside canvassing and I request that you reconsider this action, and let the RM remain open for a meaningful additional period of time.
One other point that bears mentioning, which is somewhat obvious, is that you changed the title to a name that is completely non-neutral and is in breach of WP:NPOV, in particular WP:IMPARTIAL. Even if the "consensus" that you found was not tainted by canvassing, that alone would be sufficient not to use "massacre" in a Wikipedia title of an article on a current event in a contentious topic area. Coretheapple ( talk) 18:50, 8 March 2024 (UTC)
An editor has asked for a Move review of Al-Rashid humanitarian aid incident. Because you closed the move discussion for this page, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the move review. Coretheapple ( talk) 21:39, 8 March 2024 (UTC)

Hey there! This is to let you know that phase I of the 2024 requests for adminship (RfA) review is now no longer accepting new proposals. Lots of proposals remain open for discussion, and the current round of review looks to be on a good track towards making significant progress towards improving RfA's structure and environment. I'd like to give my heartfelt thanks to everyone who has given us their idea for change to make RfA better, and the same to everyone who has given the necessary feedback to improve those ideas. The following proposals remain open for discussion:
To read proposals that were closed as unsuccessful, please see Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review/Phase I/Closed proposals. You are cordially invited once again to participate in the open discussions; when phase I ends, phase II will review the outcomes of trial proposals and refine the implementation details of other proposals. Another notification will be sent out when this phase begins, likely with the first successful close of a major proposal. Happy editing! theleekycauldron ( talk • she/her), via:

Hello Robertsky,
Backlog update: The October drive reduced the article backlog from 11,626 to 7,609 and the redirect backlog from 16,985 to 6,431! Congratulations to Schminnte, who led with over 2,300 points.
Following that, New Page Patrol organized another backlog drive for articles in January 2024. The January drive started with 13,650 articles and reduced the backlog to 7,430 articles. Congratulations to JTtheOG, who achieved first place with 1,340 points in this drive.
Looking at the graph, it seems like backlog drives are one of the only things keeping the backlog under control. Another backlog drive is being planned for May. Feel free to participate in the May backlog drive planning discussion.
It's worth noting that both queues are gradually increasing again and are nearing 14,034 articles and 22,540 redirects. We encourage you to keep contributing, even if it's just a single patrol per day. Your support is greatly appreciated!
2023 Awards
Onel5969 won the 2023 cup with 17,761 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 50/day. There was one Platinum Award (10,000+ reviews), 2 Gold Awards (5000+ reviews), 6 Silver (2000+), 8 Bronze (1000+), 30 Iron (360+) and 70 more for the 100+ barnstar. Hey man im josh led on redirect reviews by clearing 36,175 of them. For the full details, see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone for their efforts in reviewing!
WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers deployed the rewritten NewPagesFeed in October, and then gave the NewPagesFeed a slight visual facelift in November. This concludes most major work to Special:NewPagesFeed, and most major work by the WMF Moderator Tools team, who wrapped up their major work on PageTriage in October. The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers will continue small work on PageTriage as time permits.
Recruitment: A couple of the coordinators have been inviting editors to become reviewers, via mass-messages to their talk pages. If you know someone who you'd think would make a good reviewer, then a personal invitation to them would be great. Additionally, if there are Wikiprojects that you are active on, then you can add a post there asking participants to join NPP. Please be careful not to double invite folks that have already been invited.
Reviewing tip: Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages within their most familiar subjects can use the regularly updated NPP Browser tool.

Hi Robertsky,
I created an article for Farisha Ishak, a singer-songwriter who won the first season of the Final 1, and was signed to Hype Records. She then did hosting, acting, and advocacy work.
I created the article in January and it was quickly rejected. However, I made changes a few days later, but it has not been reviewed again since.
I cam across your username on the Wikiproject Singapore page, so I was hoping you may be able to help with getting the article reviewed?
Here is the link to the page: /info/en/?search=Draft:Farisha_Ishak
If you have other tips or think another wikiproject page is better to ask for a review, please let me know.
Thank you!

Regarding this request; generally, we should not be working back-to-front; if a bold move is contested what needs to happen is the move is reverted and an RM opened. Yes, things are made more complicated here by the existence of an already open RM, but that doesn't justify keeping the article at the new title after the move has been contested - per WP:RMUM, recent bold moves can be reverted at any time, and once reverted should not be reinstated.
If you aren't willing to revert the move, can you leave the request open so that it can be considered by other editors? BilledMammal ( talk) 15:57, 7 April 2024 (UTC)

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Youth Coalition for Organ Donation, to which you have significantly contributed, is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or if it should be deleted.
The discussion will take place at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Youth Coalition for Organ Donation until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article.

@ Kingsif: Hello. A user contested the closure of this move request at WP:RM#TR. To quote the contester:
The discussion, besides being too close to not relist anyway, did not once acknowledge that the article isn't about the 2020 law, but about the concept of the law. The 2024 law is fine to be at a year-disambiguated title, but moving this article was simply inaccurate and unnecessary.
I contested it as WP:WRONGVENUE, but an explanation of the close would be helpful. Nasssa Nser 01:55, 17 April 2024 (UTC)

Hello, Robertsky,
I saw your edit summary on an edit on this page. I was kind of taken aback. A year or so ago, an editor created over 100 draft pages regarding this Portal, I can safely say they were all deleted via CSD G13. Without some strong assurance that this Portal is going to be finished and all of these blank pages filled with articles, I don't think any admin, even the nice ones at WP:REFUND will want to take the considerable time to restore all of these mass-produced pages. I think it would be better for them to start from scratch to prove that this version of the Portal won't also be abandoned in a couple of months. Liz Read! Talk! 05:18, 23 April 2024 (UTC)

Hello Robertsky -- Shivacruz ( talk) 05:24, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
Hi there! Phase I of the Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review has concluded, with several impactful changes gaining community consensus and proceeding to various stages of implementation. Some proposals will be implemented in full outright; others will be discussed at phase II before being implemented; and still others will proceed on a trial basis before being brought to phase II. The following proposals have gained consensus:
See the project page for a full list of proposals and their outcomes. A huge thank-you to everyone who has participated so far :) looking forward to seeing lots of hard work become a reality in phase II. theleekycauldron ( talk), via MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 08:09, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
