Normally, yes, but in his case the name is - so far as I can see - always stylised without the full stops. So, it is an exception as accepted at MOS:INITIALS: "An initial is followed by a full stop (period) and a space ... unless...[a]n overwhelming majority of reliable sources do otherwise for that person." That is why I moved the article in the way I did. Happy to discuss on the article talk page if you wish to pursue this. Ghmyrtle ( talk) 12:41, 26 July 2016 (UTC)

Hi, I wanted to ask you about these, as you're kind of the expert in this field! I noticed you did some housekeeping on Template:Big Brother UK housemates and Template:Big Brother UK, removing the presenters and such but left in the notable housemates and winners (I hope you don't mind that I restored three winners who only have list entries to make it a "complete list"). So if I were to do similar to other templates, for example Template:Strictly Come Dancing, Template:Dancing on Ice or Template:The X Factor (UK), obviously the presenters, judges and hosts would be removed, and I would assume that non-celebrity winners (The X Factor) would remain, but how should I deal with celebrity winners or the professional contestants who appear in the series? Also, would templates like Template:This Morning or Template:Loose Women be deleted? I'd be happy to see 15 of these be deleted! (Also shouldn't the long-standing consensus be mentioned at WP:NAVBOX so it's easier to enforce?) anemone projectors 11:07, 12 August 2016 (UTC)
You do seem to have been attacking the list I made myself for templates to look at at some point. Personally I think for stuff like Template:Strictly Come Dancing Series 13, I would have gone for TFD rather than redirection, as then you don't have to do the work removing the template - a friendly bot will do it for you :-) And deletion is probably better anyway as the template it redirects to is not the same as it does not include any of the same links apart from mabye two. anemone projectors 19:06, 27 August 2016 (UTC)
Hi - regarding this edit to Guy, Sharyn & Clint: the infobox has a link to The Xtra Factor (NZ), which redirects to Guy, Sharyn & Clint#The Xtra Factor. Does this warrant inclusion of the navbox The X Factor (NZ)? Ollieinc ( talk) 10:16, 22 August 2016 (UTC)
How do you feel about succession boxes that serve the same purpose as a navbox, e.g. the one in Coleen Nolan? I think they should be removed for the same reason. By the way I'm building up a list of navboxes I want nominated for deletion, I'm going to be really brutal :-) anemone projectors 13:01, 23 August 2016 (UTC)

Hi I saw one of your edits on Template:Big Brother in the United States and Template:Big Brother Australia where you removed the link to Big Brother (franchise). I'm just curious as to why the link to the main page about the entire franchise was removed because that is a relevant link to the localized editions. Your edit summary of "dealt with an international template. removing repeated link" is vary vague. Was there a discussion about not putting a link in a navbox to the article about shows with localized versions? ♪♫Al ucard 16♫♪ 08:04, 22 September 2016 (UTC)
If you're interested I started a discussion about flags specifically in international school infoboxes at Wikipedia_talk:Manual_of_Style/Icons#Flags_in_international_school_infoboxes - There are still lots of other international school templates with flags so it may be good for the community to decide what happens.

I would like to hear more on your ideas to simplify the navboxes, and am proposing to open a discussion at WT:ESC so that more project members can join in the discussion. Navboxes are a thing that crops up periodically every 2-years, and nothing seems to be done about them. Prior to myself throwing in the weight back in 2012, all of these navboxes were a mess, and by that I mean I had to mass-nominate for deletion over 250 of the buggers, because WikiProject Eurovision created navboxes for [Artists] in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest; [Countries] in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest; [Songs] in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest, and so on. The all got megred into a one-for-all design (the current design you have seen). If there are ways to make them even more appealing and easy to use (if that is the right choice of words) then your opinion and suggestions would be gratefully valued. Wes Mouse T@lk 13:41, 7 October 2016 (UTC)
Hi @ Wesley Mouse:, thanks for taking the time to talk to me here. The problem I see, especially with the smaller navboxes, is that with the the collapsible group navboxes there are a lot additional clicks you have to make, only to find that there is no article to navigate at the end of it! Take {{ Latvia in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest}} for example. Out of the artists and songs, there is only one with an article. But you have to make a number of clicks in order to find that out. A more linear approach would allow you to see all the data at once, and which links have articles. Incidentally, we are not supposed to have unlinked text in navboxes, or excessive redlinks, as navboxes are for navigation, not information (see WP:NOTRED and WP:EXISTING). I guess that's why they're called NAVboxes and not INFOboxes! The other problem is that in this format, it is very difficult to make the connection between artist, their song, and the year they participated. The linear approach keeps all of this information together. I had a bit of a trial go at {{San Marino in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest}}, also replacing the unlinked text with redlinks, and I think that this works better. -- Rob Sinden ( talk) 13:55, 7 October 2016 (UTC)
Hello, recently you redirected the template of the episodes of The Vampire Diaries since the episodes were added to the main template of the series. Problem is that now, many articles (such as this one) that included the specific template, also had the main one. As a result, now all those articles have two same templates at the end of the article. Removing it manually from so many articles is not really an option so, if you please know how to do it with a bot, it would be nice. Thank you. TeamGale (talk) 11:13, 13 October 2016 (UTC)
Hey, Robsinden. I just wanted to say thank you for undertaking the tedious task of renaming the SYTYCD articles. We had a discussion a few years back about whether to apply the scheme you adopted, and I admit that, at that time, I argued against it, per WP:PRECISE. However, since then, Wikipedia:Naming conventions (television) has become pretty codified in requiring the "tv series" affix in cases of distinction between multiple shows of the same franchise/format. As such, I've been meaning to make those changes myself for a while, but you've now saved me the trouble--so, cheers! Snow let's rap 07:44, 18 October 2016 (UTC)

Hey there, I created a new topic on the talk page of 'List of original programs distributed by Netflix' about this changes from you, were I explained in more detail why personally wouldn't make them.

Hello, Robsinden. Voting in the 2016 Arbitration Committee elections is open from Monday, 00:00, 21 November through Sunday, 23:59, 4 December to all unblocked users who have registered an account before Wednesday, 00:00, 28 October 2016 and have made at least 150 mainspace edits before Sunday, 00:00, 1 November 2016.
The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.
If you wish to participate in the 2016 election, please review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page. MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 22:08, 21 November 2016 (UTC)
Per this edit, you are edit warring (note that edit warring does not have to involve 3RR). If you make an edit, and someone reverts it, you should immediately take the discussion to the appropriate talk page rather than reverting to your preferred version. Regarding your comment, SELFREF suggests not referencing Wikipedia in a non-neutral manner. A link to a WikiProject, without any commentary, is as neutral as you can get, especially in regard to an obviously-related topic. ··· 日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 09:04, 7 December 2016 (UTC)

No one is more liberal with the knife to my templates than you. I was hoping for some impartial eyes to take a closer look at Template:Faust. I am having trouble with attempted edits to the template today and have tried to correct them, but I need a second opinion.

Divines is a "Netflix Original" film. Netflix picks up lots of films at film festivals and applies that label, which is on the films in that template. It's only not on Netflix France because of French windowing laws. It's no less an original the Beasts or Jadotville.-- occono ( talk) 10:01, 14 December 2016 (UTC)
It has come to my attention that you WP:CSDed Template:Miss Julie in July 2015 after this series of edits [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], and [8]. I have had the template userfied at User:TonyTheTiger/Miss Julie and have updated it for page moves and a new related article. Template:August Strindberg no longer contains adaptations and this content should be available via navbox. Given the number of adaptations of this work, I believe a dedicated template is the proper presentation. You, I and Frietjes are the most involved in the ongoing curation of this type of content. I am interested in moving this content back to template space as a specialized template. Please comment on this potential action.-- TonyTheTiger ( T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 00:45, 27 December 2016 (UTC)
As my harshest template critic, I am giving you a first crack at assessing a new feature I am tinkering with.

Hi, I wanted to discuss the recent edit to the Template:Authors of Germany and the Second World War. I wanted to clarify that the way inter-language template works is that when an en.wiki article is created, the link automatically turns blue, pointing to the en.wiki page, and the inter-language link goes away. Then a bot comes around and converts the HTLM code to [[ ]]. With the current version, the red links are still there, but the overall utility of the template is lower. I'm wondering if you'd be willing to reconsider. K.e.coffman ( talk) 02:29, 22 January 2017 (UTC)
