Old draft
Hello there. I was looking through old Draft space pages that hadn't been edited in a while and saw Draft:Fyodor Bogorodsky which you created over 2 years ago. Were you intending on coming back and finishing working on it to get it to acceptance? If not would you consider deleting it to not make a land grab claim on the title? If you don't respond back in one month I intend to nominate the page for deletion on the ground there is not one verified fact on the page. Hasteur (talk) 19:49, 12 March 2016 (UTC)
 * My philosophy is that every single red link in Wikipedia with the potential for a viable article should have a corresponding draft page where such an article can be started, without any particular pressure for "completion". If someone wants to step into the space and improve it incrementally, so much the better. In this case, I have added a few facts and sources. bd2412  T 23:06, 12 March 2016 (UTC)

Sabbatarians
Thank you for letting me know. If Subbotniks were not included in that discussion I would like to initiate such a discussion please. Could you point me to where that should taker place and who I should notify for involvement please? There is a lot of untidiness on this subject which could still be streamlined it seems. Best regards. YuHuw (talk) 21:08, 15 March 2016 (UTC)
 * The previous discussion was at Talk:Sabbatarianism. Why not include discussion of Subbotniks at Sabbatarianism? Per WP:DABCONCEPT, this seems to be a collection of related concepts, rather than an ambiguous term.  bd2412  T 21:24, 15 March 2016 (UTC)

Trump cards as primary topic
My rationale on pointing trump cards to the trump card dab page was that there was no clear primary topic -- should it be suit (cards), the most recent target before today? That seemed less like. Should it be Major Arcana, the suit of trump cards? Or should it be trump, which was the former target of trump card? (The last seems like actually the least appropriate choice, since it's a discussion of the concept of the singular trump card.)

None of these seemed clearly unambiguous, so I directed it to the dab page. Regards, NapoliRoma (talk) 22:37, 19 March 2016 (UTC)
 * It is arguable, but none of the media senses can be referred to with "cards" in the plural. bd2412  T 22:48, 19 March 2016 (UTC)

Two Footballers
You recently moved drafts on two English footballers from Draft space to article space. However, they indicate that the two players played in the Football League. In modern times, the Football League sometimes is and sometimes is not a first-tier league in accordance with association football notability guidelines, because the articles didn't indicate whether they were playing at the Football League Championship level. I moved the articles back into draft space and declined them, because otherwise they risked being nominated for Articles for Deletion. If they played at the first-tier level, please update the articles to indicate that clearly with a reliable source. Moving them back to draft space seemed less disruptive than risking having them nominated for deletion, because you can always edit the articles and resubmit them. Robert McClenon (talk) 21:39, 22 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Can you point me to the articles? It doesn't sound familiar. bd2412  T 22:05, 22 March 2016 (UTC)
 * If you're referring to Draft:John Westcott (footballer) and Draft:Danny Simmonds, I'm afraid you are mistaken. I did not move these articles at all; I merely fixed disambiguation links in them. The editor who moved the pages, in both cases, was User:BoroFan89. bd2412  T 22:10, 22 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Okay. I will notify that editor.  Robert McClenon (talk) 22:17, 22 March 2016 (UTC)

Nomination of Pat Priest (judge) for deletion
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Pat Priest (judge) is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Articles for deletion/Pat Priest (judge) until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

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. TacfuJecan (talk) 22:05, 26 March 2016 (UTC)

Phantom Eagle
Understood. I goofed. I guess the cross universe frustration got the best of me. I think it should be about Marvel since the sources prove that Marvel is the primary topic. As for the Fawcett Comics character, there can be other options for his placement. I personally don't think a discussion would have been very active. There are such things as page moves that don't need consensus. But I agree that the last one I did could be considered controversial. My humbles apologies. Happy editing! Jhenderson 7 7 7  19:20, 27 March 2016 (UTC)

Hi, started fixing these links. Turns out Global Christian Network (broadcaster) is the overwhelming primary topic. The only other option is a social network that packed in in 2001. Could you do the move? --Midas02 (talk) 03:13, 30 March 2016 (UTC)

John Hood
Hi... again. A very junior editor has been moving a primary topic. I can see his point, but it merits an RM discussion. Can you quickly nip this one in the bud? I'd like to start a move discussion once the article's been shifted back. --Midas02 (talk) 03:30, 31 March 2016 (UTC)
 * I have reverted the move and initiated the appropriate discussion at Talk:John Hood. bd2412  T 04:04, 31 March 2016 (UTC)

Pereia
Cplakidas has done a cut-and-paste move of a dab page here. I guess the page history should be restored. Whether the 'Greek word' article should be the primary topic, I'm not convinced. On WP, the word will mostly be used for linking to a particular location, not to a description of its historical meaning. --Midas02 (talk) 03:22, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
 * What is this a copy and paste of? bd2412  T 04:05, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Well, Pereia was a dab page. The user wanted to make it an article, but couldn't move the dab page, because the Pereia (disambiguation) page already existed. So he took this revision of Pereia and pasted it to the dab page here (applying some small modifications). Now the dab page history is broken. It would have been proper procedure for him to have requested a dab page move. --Midas02 (talk) 04:19, 3 April 2016 (UTC)

"No consensus for a page move"
Hi! I saw this reversal of my page move, which I wasn't aware of until now.

Do you object to this move?

The reason why I moved was to disambiguate between other German schools with the name "Humboldt" in Spanish speaking countries. I believe this is a reasonable move, and I can WP:Be Bold as long as it's not "reckless". I don't see how such a move is reckless, nor have I seen any previous discussion regarding this move. WhisperToMe (talk) 16:55, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
 * That is exactly the point - there were no previous discussions involving the move. There has been no determination (and no evidence to support one) that the existing topic is not the primary topic of the term. It certainly seems to be, based on the incoming links at the time of the move. The fact that a term is ambiguous is only half of the inquiry (otherwise Abraham Lincoln, Florida, and University of Alabama would all be disambiguation pages. bd2412  T 17:04, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
 * If it's a "major" topic with larger number of page views and/or a very prominent topic, and/or had controversial move issues in the past, then it would be good to do a Requested moves and cautious. But this is not that case. Colegio Alemán Alexander von Humboldt a "low importance" article with a low page view count. I do not always have to use "Requested moves". WP:BEBOLD allows me to make decisions like this on "low importance" articles without asking anyone else first. if someone else objects that's okay, but there should be a reason why the other party objects. It would too taxing for every requested move to be listed on Requested moves.
 * Usually in terms of disambiguation it's "guilty until proven innocent". Unless there is evidence that "Colegio Alemán Alexander von Humboldt" is more prominent than other schools, it should be moved.
 * "Requested moves" says very clearly "If you have no reason to expect a dispute concerning a move, be bold and move the page." - I had no reason to believe there would be a dispute.
 * WhisperToMe (talk) 17:33, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
 * That's fine. WP:BRD - you were bold, I reverted. I don't know where you got that "guilty until proven innocent" idea. You also didn't fix the incoming links after the page move, which you are supposed to do. Had you done so, you would have seen that incoming links intended the existing topic. For pages that really do require disambiguation, this is often not the case. bd2412  T 17:43, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
 * "I don't know where you got that "guilty until proven innocent" idea." - I edit lots of school articles (particularly those in the United States). The default practice is to disambiguate a common school name (say "Lamar High School") and make the disambig page be at the title. The only case I've seen where the "default" name is a particular school is if it's exceptionally notable compared to the others. Hence, guilty before proven innocent.
 * Anyhow I did change as much of the links as I could think of (Examples: Naucalpan, Template:Naucalpan, Template:German schools in North America, and so forth) but I suppose I should have checked "What links here".
 * WhisperToMe (talk) 17:52, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
 * I would imagine high schools would tend to be a bit different from other topics. It still seems to me that the Mexico City school is likely primary for this name. bd2412  T 18:05, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
 * This particular institution is equivalent to a U.S. K-12 school meaning from elementary to high school. U.S. K-12 schools are relatively rare, but if multiple schools had the same name I would think they would be disambiguated the same way.
 * I think a school/district in a major city/metropolitan area would have primacy over one in a barren rural area (why the Highland Park Independent School District of the Dallas, Texas area is default and why Highland Park Independent School District (Potter County, Texas) has a disambiguated title) - However some of the other Colegio Humboldt schools are in major Latin American cities.
 * WhisperToMe (talk) 18:22, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
 * This particular one seems to have greater importance - "the largest German school outside of Germany." bd2412  T 18:26, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
 * That's a good point to make. I guess I decided to move it because from my searches it hasn't quite taken it to the amount of fame of, say Stuyvesant High School in New York City or Fiorello La Guardia School of the Arts (in NYC too). Anyhow I'm trying to find sources to start the Spanish version of the article but I don't think I've found enough yet. WhisperToMe (talk) 23:58, 3 April 2016 (UTC)

Northern China (disambiguation) listed at Redirects for discussion

Rewrite of lead at List of federal judges appointed by George W. Bush
I did a rewrite of the lead at List of federal judges appointed by George W. Bush as I felt the current lead was inaccurate.

It formerly read:


 * Following is a list of all United States federal judges appointed by President George W. Bush during his presidency. Reference Omitted In total Bush appointed 325 federal judges, including two Justices to the Supreme Court of the United States (including one Chief Justice), 62 judges to the United States Courts of Appeals, and 261 judges to the United States district courts.

It now reads:


 * Following is a list of United States federal judges appointed by President George W. Bush during his presidency, including all Judges appointed under Article III and a partial list of Judges appointed under Article I. Reference Omitted In total Bush appointed 327 Article III federal judges, including 2 Justices to the Supreme Court of the United States (including one Chief Justice), 62 judges to the United States Courts of Appeals, 261 judges to the United States district courts and 2 judges to the United States Court of International Trade. Additionally, he made appointments to various courts established under Article I and Article IV.

The new lead makes it clear that while this is a comprehensive list of Article III Judges, it is only a partial list of Article I Judges and has no Article IV Judges included. The previous lead would lead somebody to believe that this list was a comprehensive list of ALL Federal Judges of all types, which is obviously not the case. Also, Bush made 327 Article III appointments, not 325, because the former lead omitted Trade Court appointments.

I am running this by you (and one other frequent WikiProject USCJ contributor) for comment, before I make similar corrections to the other list articles.

I am pinging you to read this, as you are a frequent contributor to WikiProject USCJ as well. You are welcome to comment on this as well. Safiel (talk) 02:50, 8 April 2016 (UTC)
 * That sounds reasonable to me. The lists initially contained only Article III judges. bd2412  T 02:53, 8 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I will wait for Snickers before I go ahead and do any other of the lists. Safiel (talk) 02:54, 8 April 2016 (UTC)

St. John's wart
I'm not sure what you thought you were doing to "fix" my edits. But, in effect you have just added to the confusion by boldly moving it to a title it has never been at before. Yes, It's complicated. Are you familiar with Special:MergeHistory? I used that to address a dab-content fork. The dab was at St John's wort (disambiguation) and now that's redirecting to the primary topic which a (disambiguation) title shouldn't do. wbm1058 (talk) 00:19, 9 April 2016 (UTC)

So hopefully you read the rest of the talk page before you submitted your RM. This all was started by the edits of, who created a good-faith fork of the original dab. I hist-merged in the older edits from November 2013 to January 2015. I guess the sight of the incoming links template upset you a bit, but can we at least propose a move to the most likely consensus title based on my analysis in the earlier section? wbm1058 (talk) 00:40, 9 April 2016 (UTC)
 * I've moved it back to St John's wort (disambiguation). There has never been, so far as I can tell, a consensus that Hypericum perforatum is not the primary topic of the term. bd2412  T 00:47, 9 April 2016 (UTC)
 * That seems right, though I haven't thoroughly traced the history. took it off primary topic, based on the species Hypericum pulchrum ("slender Saint-John's-wort"), but there is already an argument on talk that this is only of interest to botanists, and perforatum is primary based on its common medicinal use. wbm1058 (talk) 00:52, 9 April 2016 (UTC)


 * I trust you won't mind if I revert your proposed move. It's malformed now anyway, since your move back to the original dab title. Thanks, wbm1058 (talk) 00:58, 9 April 2016 (UTC)
 * No problem - everything will work out in time. bd2412  T 01:08, 9 April 2016 (UTC)

Kentucky Supreme Court justices
While working on Walter Arnold Baker - just moved to main space - I noticed that there appears to be another missing justice that is not on your list. His name is William S. Cooper, though I'm not sure how best to disambiguate the article yet. BTW, Baker had a long career in the Kentucky General Assembly and only a brief tenure on the court, so I chose not to use "judge" as a disambiguator for him. Acdixon (talk · contribs) 18:12, 15 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks - my list is generally only as complete as the List of justices of the Kentucky Supreme Court. bd2412  T 18:21, 15 April 2016 (UTC)

re Kindred Spirit
Not seeing this as an improvement, since its moving the pointer from a page to a redirect to that page, and one that contains an additional unnecessary word at that. Herostratus (talk) 16:43, 17 April 2016 (UTC)
 * This is policy per WP:INTDABLINK, to prevent false positives that disrupt the work of disambiguators. bd2412  T 16:51, 17 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Well but its not that simple. Here's a few things, in no particular order:
 * Don't post to my talk page with nasty demands in ALL CAPS and accusing me of vandalism. I'll do you the favor of assuming that you're just having a bad day. No need to spread it around though.
 * It's not clear that the rule you refer to is actually either intended to apply to disambiguation pages, or is ever enforced there. And if its seldom or never enforced its not a valid rule.
 * And I don't think I have a violin tiny enough for "disrupt the work of disambiguators". We're here to enhance the readers experience, not ours. And it'd be simple to write code that opts disambig pages out of the error reports, anyway.
 * But I've opened a chance to discuss it here: Wikipedia talk:Disambiguation. You're welcome to participate, if your mood has improved (otherwise you might better not).
 * And finally, per WP:BRD and WP:CONSENSUS, I've reverted your edits again and please stop edit warring about this. I've opened a thread to talk about this and you can make your case for your interpretation of the rule there, and that is the proper way to proceed. Herostratus (talk) 00:15, 18 April 2016 (UTC)

Line driver
Oddly, it looks like we have no reasonable article to link for the intended meaning of "line driver" in the Amplifier article, in spite of the semi-helpful words on the disambig page. Dicklyon (talk) 02:57, 18 April 2016 (UTC)

I believe I will change Line driver to be an article. I don't think the distinction that it is drawing is very meaningful, but if it is it can fit in the article. Dicklyon (talk) 03:02, 18 April 2016 (UTC)
 * That's fine with me - it is often unhelpful to the reader to have a disambiguation page that merely draws fine distinctions between closely related or overlapping concepts. bd2412  T 03:07, 18 April 2016 (UTC)
 * OK, I have stubbed in an article. The link to Line driver is no longer an error.  Dicklyon (talk) 03:14, 18 April 2016 (UTC)

Shelly Peiken
Curious, why all the redlinks on Shelly Peiken? The last one, Lifeline by Anastacia is blue, but the rest are red. Three others, added by other editor(s), are red as well. It would seem that the list should be cut, maybe removing all of the songs w/o articles? Plz ping, Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 18:52, 18 April 2016 (UTC)
 * The redlinks are there because the songs referenced do not have articles. Lifeline by Anastacia doesn't have an article either, but at least the title redirects to the album where it can be found. Whether these should be red links or no links at all is discretionary; the question is whether it is likely that the linked song is either notable, or is mentioned in an article on the album or the like, to which it can redirect. bd2412  T 18:59, 18 April 2016 (UTC)
 * I've gone ahead and made a few of those possible redirects. bd2412  T 19:25, 18 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks - Should the list be reduced? Start with songs where the singer has no link? Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 22:51, 18 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Singers are more likely to be notable than individual songs. I would think that the singer should at least be stubbed, if anything can be found. bd2412  T 02:46, 20 April 2016 (UTC)

Dab challenge question
Hi BD2412! Last month, you posted on my talk page that "As of now, there are 1,224 pages with more than 5 incoming links. If we can bring that number down by 225 before the end of the month, then we will have bridged the gap between the main list and the bonus list, and every single disambiguation link in Wikipedia at the beginning of May will count for the contest." Did that happen? Thanks! GoingBatty (talk) 23:12, 2 May 2016 (UTC)

About BD2412bot
Please be advised, that BD2412bot is removing useful shared IP notice templates (schools, wifi hotspot, proxy) notices. Please consider leaving them behind when archiving the page.. Viewing all of the bot edits, and then reverting ones with shared IP notices is a lot of work, and the information is very useful.. even 7 years later. Thank you! --CoolCanuck eh? 04:41, 31 May 2016 (UTC)
 * IP addresses tend to be dynamic. These templates are removed because this specific information is likely to become inaccurate over the passage of time. bd2412  T 11:00, 31 May 2016 (UTC)


 * Thank you for the reply. As a student studying Network&System Administration, school and hotspot shared IP addresses are not all dynamic. You are responsible for your bot edits, and, without manually reviewing them, they aren't always helping. Please consider keeping shared IP notice tags. We have them for a reason, they are used; and should not be removed when the information is still valid. Another option would be to create a log (or category) of pages with the template. I would be more than willing to review the log and decide whether the information is still valid. Thanks for your consideration. --CoolCanuck eh? 16:00, 31 May 2016 (UTC)

Polbot FJC entries - pleased don't delete any for the time being
As a background, in the last couple of days, I have been merging PolBot FJC entries and probably will concentrate on this particular task for the time being. However, when I was looking through the list of PolBot entries marked for deletion, I found one that was NOT entirely merged and noted that the user who marked the entry for deletion was NOT on the edit history for the corresponding judge article. So I am going to eyeball ALL of the Polbot entries marked for deletion to ensure they have actually been properly merged. I am notifying you on your talk page, since, as far as I know, your the only administrator aware of this particular deletion category and request that you do not delete anything from that category. Thanks and I will try to get through that as quick as possible. It shouldn't take me too long, as their are 50 entries total, of which 37 I need to check, the other 13 being ones I have merged and marked for deletion myself. I will notify you when I am done and it is safe to delete. Safiel (talk) 21:54, 1 June 2016 (UTC)
 * That's fine with me. I have only been deleting them as I merge in the info myself. bd2412  T 22:45, 1 June 2016 (UTC)

Draft:Stewart G. Pollock
Draft:Stewart G. Pollock is not configured in such a way to move the page to an article space. Is there a reason?Djflem (talk) 05:29, 14 June 2016 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure what you mean by "not configured" but I went ahead and moved it to article space (Stewart G. Pollock). Cheers! bd2412  T 12:22, 14 June 2016 (UTC)

Title and name disambiguation page
Hi. Your last few hundred edits putting pages into Category:Title and name disambiguation pages had the side-effect of removing the __DISAMBIG__ marker from those pages, and now they are not treated as disambiguation pages at all by the software. Was this intended? --R'n'B (call me Russ) 17:17, 14 June 2016 (UTC)
 * It was not - I was under the impression that having Category:Title and name disambiguation pages in Category:Disambiguation pages would maintain the marking scheme. Is there a quick fix? bd2412  T 17:20, 14 June 2016 (UTC)
 * You could re-insert the template. --R'n'B (call me Russ) 18:35, 14 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Done. I do plan to create a template concordant with hndis for these articles at some point. bd2412  T 18:51, 14 June 2016 (UTC)
 * OK. Do these need special sort keys? If so, your plan makes sense. If not, you could just add a new parameter to Disambiguation that would put pages into this new category. --R'n'B (call me Russ) 19:38, 14 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Ideally I'd like to it to be sortable either way (i.e., have all persons of the same title together or have all persons with a particular surname together, in case someone wanted to see all the Admiral Smiths, Justice Smiths, Governor Smiths, etc.). I'm not sure that this is doable, but I plan to look into it in. bd2412  T 20:17, 14 June 2016 (UTC)

Harry Stiller
Hello, I was wondering about your recent edit to the above. There is a Christchurch in Dorset in UK and the article shows Stiller to be active in the South of England. However the link as it stands currently goes to Christchurch in New Zealand and it is also known that Stiller has lived abroad at several times in his life. See Alan Jones (racing driver) for one instance and the article also shows him in the US. If you have something that confirms his location please add to the article as appropriate. Thanks. Regards, Eagleash (talk) 01:36, 18 June 2016 (UTC)
 * I removed the disambiguation tag because the link does not lead to a disambiguation page. Perhaps a clarify tag would be appropriate there. bd2412  T 01:52, 18 June 2016 (UTC)


 * Actually, the article is a bit lacking in certain areas. The 'racing career' (and other bits) is a direct lift from here... a site which is not wonderfully reliable and which has him living in Bournemouth UK. Eagleash (talk) 02:26, 18 June 2016 (UTC)
 * It's really outside my area. bd2412  T 02:55, 18 June 2016 (UTC)

Wikimania 2016: IdeaLab Workshops
Wikimania 2016 is almost here! Mjohnson (WMF) and I are running two workshops for IdeaLab during the conference, and you are invited to join us for either (or both!)

If you have a proposal or idea you are thinking about, and would like a space to work on it on your own or with others, please consider joining us for either the Thursday or Saturday sessions. We'll discuss a little about IdeaLab and how it works, and the rest of the time is space for idea building. You can also use this session to ask questions about Wikimedia Foundation grants that are available if your proposal or idea may need funding. Thanks, and see you at the conference!

promotions
Hi, I see you're going to Wikimania, congratulations and have fun.

I visit to ask if you could promote and to mainspace, by moving them. There exist about 7 separate "List of county courthouses in STATE" articles now, and I would set up redirects from "List of county courthouses in STATE" to the corresponding section in the U.S. list for all the others.
 * Draft:List of courthouses in the United States
 * Draft:List of county courthouses in Nebraska

They're unfinished but fairly extensive and including all or nearly all NRHP-listed items. I personally think they're obviously mainspace-worthy. I would rather continue developing them in mainspace, so that others can find them and contribute to them also, instead of developing their own sandbox versions, duplicatively and yet formatted differently. I have just come across a sandbox version for a list of Texas ones, developed more than my new Draft:List of county courthouses in Texas, and have invited its author to move it to mainspace. I also came across a sandbox version of Florida ones.

cheers, -- do ncr  am  23:23, 19 June 2016 (UTC)


 * Fix the disambiguation links first! bd2412  T 02:43, 28 June 2016 (UTC)
