Why was deletion of Talk:Dusit Central Park considered housekeeping and routine (non-controversial) cleanup?

Hello, I'm sure how useful the hazard data is for these chemicals. Stating that they're all flammable seems redundant now that they've been intentionally set on fire.

Don't you think correcting the merge to tag would have been more appropriate than reverting it as if nothing happened? I made an innocent error by indicating the former name Bedivere ( talk) 16:54, 15 April 2023 (UTC)
If desired, a proper merge discussion can take place on the article's talk page." The last edit to Talk:Prisoners of the 2019–2021 Chilean protests was on 30 September 2021, when you moved the page, and the last edit to Talk:2019–2022 Chilean protests was on 27 December 2022, when you agreed with another editor about the timing of Estallido Social. I agree that the issue of how to arbitrarily decide whether Estallido Social ended in 2020, 2021, or 2022 can be avoided by simply calling it Estallido Social. That would also keep the title consistent with the Spanish wiki. If you had bothered to start a talk page discussion about the matter, I would have been more inclined to fix your merge templates. The main article is already some 129,000 bytes long so it's a good-sized article without a lot of room for further growth, but I agree it could do a better job of covering the highlights of the "Prisoners of the Revolt" in Wikipedia:Summary style. Feel free to just be bold and do that. Noting that the Spanish wiki has an article on the topic, I think the English wiki probably should too. – wbm1058 ( talk) 17:37, 15 April 2023 (UTC)

You did some page moves and merges that resulted in quite a few broken redirects (see here). I couldn't discern where this content finally ended up so I deleted the broken redirects. If there is a suitable new target for these redirects, you can restore them and retarget them or let me know. Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 20:49, 2 May 2023 (UTC)
please refrain from directly insulting editors, as you did here. as an administrator you should know not to do this. this can cause people to leave wikipedia. you could've handled that merge another way instead of insulting the editors. i am aware i didn't handle that whole article situation the best, but i'm trying to be better. but insulting other editors is not civil, especially when you have more power over us. - Evelyn Marie ( leave a message · contributions) 04:17, 6 May 2023 (UTC)

Regarding 41 special, IMO it's best to categorize a redirect with one difference from another title, and link things together with {{ R from avoided double redirect}}, then list multiple differences from the target title, even if there is no chance an article will ever be at the redirect title, because that's not the only reason to use that rcat. While I agree unlikely in this case, 41 Special could one day become a dab page (like 38 Special is currently) or redirects can get retargeted, and use of the avoided double redirect templates ensures redirects end up in the right place. If 41 Special became its own page or was retargeted, then 41 special would be retargeted appropriately. Cheers, Mdewman6 ( talk) 16:37, 25 June 2023 (UTC)

On my watch list I have the following which you made changes to: 26th Milestone: Revision history and Template:Mountain Course: Difference between revisions.
I completely do not understand (your edit summary and what has become of) the former example (and never have understood printworthy, etc), but FYI the article was renamed by a defiant CoI editor to promote the Isle of Man name; there was no need for disambiguation, as there was/is no other article. As you are admin, and if you can easily remove the Isle of Man bit, I will leave it to your discretion; I can give other examples, like this SEO admission not needing disambig. I knew these examples without searching, and there is a long history with this editor, some of which I will not provide publicly. My understanding and rationale is that where there is no need for disambiguation it should not be present. You can email me if necessary. Thank you.-- Rocknrollmancer ( talk) 02:15, 30 January 2022 (UTC)
I see this template was created as a result of
this discussion about talk pages of redirected pages. The idea was to to prevent the creation of a "bad title" or prevent moving an article into a similar bad title.
Generally, I think we use
WP:SALT to prevent the creation of a really bad title. This is different than the bar for saying we shouldn't even create links to a "bad" redirect to a good title. Above, I noted there were 321 transclusions. Now there's
319. I'll work on removing these or converting them to a more "suitable" {{
Rcat}} template ;) –

RfA is what it is. And because it's about people expressing personal opinion about trust (or at least it's "supposed" to be...), it can be a challenge to experience.
This is only my opinion, of course, but based upon long experience with RFA, (and for whatever it's worth), I think you did very well.

Thanks you for fixing the Mansur Abdulin vs Mansur Abdullin confusion. I just wanted to clarify that when I overwrote the redirect I was not trying to hide the article history (the editor who overwrite the original article clearly made an honest mistake due to the similar names and similarity in biographies) and because of that I made a note on the talkpage to give credit for the page histories to the original editors. I have even made a point of reminding other editors to give credit for the source of the translations (don't get confused by teh note on my talkapge about Qaysenov, I did not translate the russian article and Mccapra admitteed they didn't even compare the two properly before puttin the warning on my page)-- KazyKazyKazakhstan ( talk) 16:23, 4 October 2023 (UTC)
Hi Wbm, long time no speak and I hope you're doing well.
I'm afraid I have to say I respectfully disagree with your close at Talk:That Girl Lay Lay. Your assertion that "There is no consensus primary topic for That Girl Lay Lay, which means we must disambiguate that title" is incorrect. Per WP:RMCI When there is no consensus, we maintain the status quo, which has always been that the TV series is the primary topic for the title That Girl Lay Lay. That option was also favoured by a very slight majority in the no consensus discussion as well. So the close should have been for no action. And that is particularly so when another discussion earlier this year had a similar conclusion and took no action. Please could you reconsider? Thanks as ever — Amakuru ( talk) 22:32, 4 October 2023 (UTC)
Consensus is determined not just by considering the preferences of the participants in a given discussion, but also by evaluating their arguments, assigning due weight accordingly, and giving due consideration to the relevant consensus of the Wikipedia community in general as reflected in applicable policy, guidelines and naming conventions." The increasingly prescriptive (perhaps over-prescriptive) RM closing instructions should not override other existing guidelines. The applicable guideline to follow here is WP:Primary topic: "
A topic is primary for a term with respect to usage if it is highly likely—much more likely than any other single topic, and more likely than all the other topics combined—to be the topic sought when a reader searches for that term." My closing opinion is that the TV series is no longer the highly likely—much more likely topic sought. In the disambiguation I did as part of my post-move cleanup, while I found that editors were for the most part getting the links correct, I did find that I needed to correct a few: #1, #2, #3. Keeping these links ambiguous ensures that they will be corrected in a timely manner by the dab patrol. Best, wbm1058 ( talk) 15:32, 5 October 2023 (UTC)
No doesn’t make sense as it is different topics" is as weak as it gets given that all articles on Wikipedia cover different topics – no content forks. Another vote on your side is equally head-scratching. They oppose moving Alaya High → That Girl Lay Lay because "
She is Just known as That Girl Lay Lay." Say what? If she is not known as Alaya High and is just known as That Girl Lay Lay, then why wouldn't you want to move to the name that she is "just known as"? This strikes me as more a support vote than an oppose vote. Discarding the unintelligible vote from the four-edit wonder and moving the "just known as" vote to the support column, my adjusted count is 5–2, which is looking more like a consensus, albeit a thin one.
Support 1st" – which is the move I made. In other words, my "
There is no consensus primary topic" close could say "There is a consensus that there is no consensus primary topic". Seems kind of bureaucratic for me to reopen it, and raise the vote to 6–2, so that someone else can just come along and repeat my close. – wbm1058 ( talk) 21:36, 5 October 2023 (UTC)

Hello, I'm sure how useful the hazard data is for these chemicals. Stating that they're all flammable seems redundant now that they've been intentionally set on fire. Hazard classes for shipping are weird, mercury is treated as corrosive (it attacks aluminium) even though that's the last thing you'd worry about if you spilt a drum of the stuff. The question is whether we scare people by discussing the toxicity issues. Project Osprey ( talk) 15:49, 20 February 2023 (UTC)

Don't you think correcting the merge to tag would have been more appropriate than reverting it as if nothing happened? I made an innocent error by indicating the former name Bedivere ( talk) 16:54, 15 April 2023 (UTC)
If desired, a proper merge discussion can take place on the article's talk page." The last edit to Talk:Prisoners of the 2019–2021 Chilean protests was on 30 September 2021, when you moved the page, and the last edit to Talk:2019–2022 Chilean protests was on 27 December 2022, when you agreed with another editor about the timing of Estallido Social. I agree that the issue of how to arbitrarily decide whether Estallido Social ended in 2020, 2021, or 2022 can be avoided by simply calling it Estallido Social. That would also keep the title consistent with the Spanish wiki. If you had bothered to start a talk page discussion about the matter, I would have been more inclined to fix your merge templates. The main article is already some 129,000 bytes long so it's a good-sized article without a lot of room for further growth, but I agree it could do a better job of covering the highlights of the "Prisoners of the Revolt" in Wikipedia:Summary style. Feel free to just be bold and do that. Noting that the Spanish wiki has an article on the topic, I think the English wiki probably should too. – wbm1058 ( talk) 17:37, 15 April 2023 (UTC)

Hello, Wbm1058,
You did some page moves and merges that resulted in quite a few broken redirects (see here). I couldn't discern where this content finally ended up so I deleted the broken redirects. If there is a suitable new target for these redirects, you can restore them and retarget them or let me know. Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 20:49, 2 May 2023 (UTC)
please refrain from directly insulting editors, as you did here. as an administrator you should know not to do this. this can cause people to leave wikipedia. you could've handled that merge another way instead of insulting the editors. i am aware i didn't handle that whole article situation the best, but i'm trying to be better. but insulting other editors is not civil, especially when you have more power over us. - Evelyn Marie ( leave a message · contributions) 04:17, 6 May 2023 (UTC)

Regarding 41 special, IMO it's best to categorize a redirect with one difference from another title, and link things together with {{ R from avoided double redirect}}, then list multiple differences from the target title, even if there is no chance an article will ever be at the redirect title, because that's not the only reason to use that rcat. While I agree unlikely in this case, 41 Special could one day become a dab page (like 38 Special is currently) or redirects can get retargeted, and use of the avoided double redirect templates ensures redirects end up in the right place. If 41 Special became its own page or was retargeted, then 41 special would be retargeted appropriately. Cheers, Mdewman6 ( talk) 16:37, 25 June 2023 (UTC)

On my watch list I have the following which you made changes to: 26th Milestone: Revision history and Template:Mountain Course: Difference between revisions.
I completely do not understand (your edit summary and what has become of) the former example (and never have understood printworthy, etc), but FYI the article was renamed by a defiant CoI editor to promote the Isle of Man name; there was no need for disambiguation, as there was/is no other article. As you are admin, and if you can easily remove the Isle of Man bit, I will leave it to your discretion; I can give other examples, like this SEO admission not needing disambig. I knew these examples without searching, and there is a long history with this editor, some of which I will not provide publicly. My understanding and rationale is that where there is no need for disambiguation it should not be present. You can email me if necessary. Thank you.-- Rocknrollmancer ( talk) 02:15, 30 January 2022 (UTC)
I see this template was created as a result of
this discussion about talk pages of redirected pages. The idea was to to prevent the creation of a "bad title" or prevent moving an article into a similar bad title.
Generally, I think we use
WP:SALT to prevent the creation of a really bad title. This is different than the bar for saying we shouldn't even create links to a "bad" redirect to a good title. Above, I noted there were 321 transclusions. Now there's
319. I'll work on removing these or converting them to a more "suitable" {{
Rcat}} template ;) –

RfA is what it is. And because it's about people expressing personal opinion about trust (or at least it's "supposed" to be...), it can be a challenge to experience.
This is only my opinion, of course, but based upon long experience with RFA, (and for whatever it's worth), I think you did very well.
It's now in the hands of the bureaucrats. I trust they will sort everything out appropriately.

Thanks you for fixing the Mansur Abdulin vs Mansur Abdullin confusion. I just wanted to clarify that when I overwrote the redirect I was not trying to hide the article history (the editor who overwrite the original article clearly made an honest mistake due to the similar names and similarity in biographies) and because of that I made a note on the talkpage to give credit for the page histories to the original editors. I have even made a point of reminding other editors to give credit for the source of the translations (don't get confused by teh note on my talkapge about Qaysenov, I did not translate the russian article and Mccapra admitteed they didn't even compare the two properly before puttin the warning on my page)-- KazyKazyKazakhstan ( talk) 16:23, 4 October 2023 (UTC)
Hi Wbm, long time no speak and I hope you're doing well.
I'm afraid I have to say I respectfully disagree with your close at Talk:That Girl Lay Lay. Your assertion that "There is no consensus primary topic for That Girl Lay Lay, which means we must disambiguate that title" is incorrect. Per WP:RMCI When there is no consensus, we maintain the status quo, which has always been that the TV series is the primary topic for the title That Girl Lay Lay. That option was also favoured by a very slight majority in the no consensus discussion as well. So the close should have been for no action. And that is particularly so when another discussion earlier this year had a similar conclusion and took no action. Please could you reconsider? Thanks as ever — Amakuru ( talk) 22:32, 4 October 2023 (UTC)
Consensus is determined not just by considering the preferences of the participants in a given discussion, but also by evaluating their arguments, assigning due weight accordingly, and giving due consideration to the relevant consensus of the Wikipedia community in general as reflected in applicable policy, guidelines and naming conventions." The increasingly prescriptive (perhaps over-prescriptive) RM closing instructions should not override other existing guidelines. The applicable guideline to follow here is WP:Primary topic: "
A topic is primary for a term with respect to usage if it is highly likely—much more likely than any other single topic, and more likely than all the other topics combined—to be the topic sought when a reader searches for that term." My closing opinion is that the TV series is no longer the highly likely—much more likely topic sought. In the disambiguation I did as part of my post-move cleanup, while I found that editors were for the most part getting the links correct, I did find that I needed to correct a few: #1, #2, #3. Keeping these links ambiguous ensures that they will be corrected in a timely manner by the dab patrol. Best, wbm1058 ( talk) 15:32, 5 October 2023 (UTC)
No doesn’t make sense as it is different topics" is as weak as it gets given that all articles on Wikipedia cover different topics – no content forks. Another vote on your side is equally head-scratching. They oppose moving Alaya High → That Girl Lay Lay because "
She is Just known as That Girl Lay Lay." Say what? If she is not known as Alaya High and is just known as That Girl Lay Lay, then why wouldn't you want to move to the name that she is "just known as"? This strikes me as more a support vote than an oppose vote. Discarding the unintelligible vote from the four-edit wonder and moving the "just known as" vote to the support column, my adjusted count is 5–2, which is looking more like a consensus, albeit a thin one.
Support 1st" – which is the move I made. In other words, my "
There is no consensus primary topic" close could say "There is a consensus that there is no consensus primary topic". Seems kind of bureaucratic for me to reopen it, and raise the vote to 6–2, so that someone else can just come along and repeat my close. – wbm1058 ( talk) 21:36, 5 October 2023 (UTC)

The article Utah State Route 91 (disambiguation) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Disambiguation page not required ( WP:ONEOTHER). Primary topic redirect points to an article with a hatnote to the only other use.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your
edit summary or on
the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the
proposed deletion process, but other
deletion processes exist. In particular, the
speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and
articles for deletion allows discussion to reach
consensus for deletion.
