Major successful proposals

 * Village pump (policy)/Archive 150 – ✅ Settled on following the capitalization used in breed standards; MOS:LIFE updated to reflect this. I was neutral on the matter, just insistent that we pick either that or lower-case, not continue to have no clear answer. (December 2018 – January 2019)
 * Proposed article splits – ✅ I created this noticeboard in July 2018, though originally as a section of what is now Proposed article mergers (suggesting a broader name); it ran that two-in-one way until April 2019, when it was split off into its own noticeboard by GenQuest.
 * A series of merge proposals from 2016–2018 to consolidate biographical advice into Manual of Style/Biography: ✅ All the consensus discussions went well, and I merged in material from MOS:LEAD, MOS:ABBREV, and MOS:CAPS in a long series of back-to-back edits (June 2018).
 * Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Capital letters/Archive 26 – ✅ About over-capitalization of traditional sports and games; concluded in favor of lowercase; new section added to MOS:CAPS, and essentially identical material already in there about over-capitalizing dances and dance genres was merged into it. (January–February 2018)
 * Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Biographies/2017 archive – ✅ a bold total overhaul of the MOS:NICKNAMES section of MOS:BIO (before vs. after), based on my WP:Using nicknames essay; accepted almost verbatim (November 2017); there was some later clarification discussion, long but not major (December 2017).
 * Village pump (policy)/Archive 126 – ✅ Consensus: do not write articles on fictional characters as if real biographies (March–April 2016). Point later integrated into MOS:FICT.
 * Village pump (policy)/Archive 126 – ✅ Removed contentious religion and denomination parameters from most biographical infoboxes (March–April 2016).
 * See also Village pump (policy)/Archive 127, which was going nowhere until I moved it to Village Pump right after the above RfC, then it closed with strong consensus against ethnicity parameter for similar reasons (March–April 2016).
 * Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Archive 156 – ✅ Settled dispute about capitalizing vernacular names of organisms (don't, except where a proper name occurs, e.g. in Grevy's zebra). (April–May 2014)
 * WP:TRANSACTIONAL – Original idea from Hurricane_Noah, but most of the wording is my policywonkery. Successful proposal here (November 2023)

Ongoing proposals

 * Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Video games – Proposed creation of stand-alone Virtual-reality game article, since the topic is distinct from virtual reality hardware, and we already have a Category:Virtual reality games.
 * Talk:Virtual reality headset – Move to Virtual-reality headset per MOS:HYPHEN and WP:CONSISTENT.
 * Redirects for discussion/Log/2021 March 20 – South Scandinavian languages nominated for deletion, unless a proper target article/section can be found. Presently redirecting to Danish dialects, but does not appear to be a term for this (or for anything else – hits in Google Scholar (March 2021).
 * Talk:Largest living flying birds according to wingspan – Move to Largest living flying birds by wingspan per WP:CONCISE and WP:PRECISE/WP:RECOGNIZABLE (this is dialectal/colloquial use of "according to", and unnecessarily wordy anyway.
 * Talk:The Bee's Knees – Move to Bee's knees per WP:CONCISE, WP:THE, WP:NCCAPS, MOS:CAPS.
 * Talk:Yan Tan Tethera – It is duplicative of the material at the latter and inappropriate in huge chart form in the former; all that's needed there is a general summary (March 2021).
 * Talk:Steve Gibson (computer programmer) – Move to Steve Gibson (programmer) per WP:CONCISE, WP:DAB: don't use a longer disambiguation term than is necessary.
 * Help talk:Citation Style 1/Archive 75 – move Template:Cite conference to Template:Cite presentation, since we cite presentations at conferences (or in conf. proceedings), not entire conferences.
 * Talk:FKM – To merge spammy and redundant brand-name article into article on the substance (March 2021)
 * Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Capital letters – Proposal to fix problem that MOS:PN merge left a section on this in MOS:CAPS without any actual material pertaining to capitalization, and we actually have plenty to say about that (February 2021).
 * Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Capital letters – To address "[b|B]lack", "[c|C]olo[u]red", etc., since there's been a lot of churn about that, including an RfC with clear results which are not yet reflected in the guideline (February 2021).
 * Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/France and French-related articles – In short, this MoS subpage is contradicting others; we have a conflict between MOS:FRENCHCAPS, MOS:FOREIGNTITLES (and to a lesser extent MOS:FOREIGN, MOS:TM, etc.), and there's also a WP:OPERATITLE essay in the mix (December 2020).
 * Talk:James D. Zirin – Proposal to merge three questionably notable stubs into a single article that is more encyclopedic (December 2020).
 * Help talk:Citation Style 1/Archive 72 – ❌ to make the template more relevant in the age of digital media, and less US-centric (October 2020). [Leaving it in this section, because I should do this, and while it is still quasi-recent.]

Accepted proposals needing further work
(That's further work by me or by anyone.)
 * Talk:Southwestern Brittonic languages – Move to Southwestern Brittonic per WP:CONCISE, WP:CONSISTENT. We don't need to append "language[s]" to language article when the name isn't ambiguous with that of a culture/ethnicity. ❌ I rescinded this since it's become clear this needs to instead be mass RM of all the articles in the category hat have this "not actually ambiguous with anything" issue, rather (per WP:CONSISTENT) just moving this one article. Leaving it in this section (despite not an accepted proposal), since I actually need to do the work of building that RM.
 * Templates for discussion/Log/2020 December 19 – ✅ to merge the former to the latter. Re-develop code for better accessibility.
 * Related: Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Accessibility and Template:Tooltip/testcases
 * Talk:L'Ange de Nisida – ✅ moved from L'ange spelling per WP:COMMONNAME, MOS:FOREIGNTITLE, MOS:FOREIGN, MOS:FRENCHCAPS, and WP:CONLEVEL (involves a wikiproject WP:PROJPAGE essay) It's likely that essay needs revision as a result of this and other moves.
 * WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals/2020/October – ✅ because we don't have a stub category tree for folklore, leading to lots of uncategorized and mis-categorized stubs. "The result of the debate was create." Confer with on building this out over time: "I suggest this be set up under Culture stubs | Other culture."
 * WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals/2018/November – ✅ For, , and their categories (also a rename of an over-long one). Result: create parent-only category, and file breed stub sub-categories under it. (I'm not sure about the rename; may need to separately revist that.)
 * Wikipedia talk:Categorization of people/Archive 10 – ✅ Needs to proceed if MoS is going to incorporate that page by reference. Did not attract opposition, but I'm not sure there's enough feedback to declare consensus.  May need to re-ask, or just go do it and see if it sticks.
 * Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Lists – ✅ Pretty straightforward. Some of this got done while I was on wikibreak, but some may still need to be completed.
 * Wikipedia talk:Templates for discussion/Archive 26 – ✅ Just what it says. While this passed almost unanimously, nothing has been done to actually implement it yet. We need a listing template, and a bot that goes looking for it.
 * Articles for deletion/American Temperament Test Society – ✅ Result: Merge to Temperament test. Non-notable org; not unencyclopedic, but should merge to Temperament test
 * Wikipedia talk:Categories for discussion – ✅ clarification suggested (not drafted in detail) for WP:EPON. No opposition; suggestion to just WP:BOLDly do it. Will take some merging work.
 * Talk:Toy dog – ✅ close out a WP:CONTENTFORK. Unopposed, but merges need to happen.
 * Talk:Terrier – ✅ close out a CONTENTFORK. Unopposed, but merges need to happen.
 * Talk:Herding dog – ✅ close out a CONTENTFORK. Unopposed, but merges need to happen.
 * Talk:List of dog breeds recognized by the American Kennel Club – ✅ close out more CONTENTFORKs. Unopposed, but merges need to happen.
 * Talk:Fédération Cynologique Internationale – ✅ close out more CONTENTFORKs. Unopposed, but merges need to happen.
 * Talk:Breed standard – ✅ close out another CONTENTFORK. Unopposed, but merges need to happen.
 * Talk:Non-Sporting Group – ✅ de-capitalization multi-RM, plus some further merge ideas. Most articles moved; merges need to happen. ✅ One article was carved out of the RM by the closer, but without any actual basis and in direct contradiction of a recent RfC on the matter. Closer has been asked to reverse that; otherwise, I will re-RM this later.
 * Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Capital letters – ✅ WP will use "chess" and "baseball bat" not "Chess" and "Baseball Bat" (question didn't seem like it needed to be asked, until editwarring proved that it did). Some game and equipment articles still need to be lower-cased, as does lots of text in them.
 * Template talk:Yesno and RfC below it – ✅ Change to protected template to detect on/off as well as yes/no, 1/0, true/false, etc. This should not have required this RfC, per WP:Common sense and WP:WIKILAWYER, but so it goes. Still needs the fix at Template:Post-nominals that inspired this to be reopened from original 2015 request in the first place. Follow-up request also open at Module talk:Yesno.
 * Templates for discussion/Log/2018 January 24 – ✅ merge some redundant ENGVAR templates, to just be parameters; merge needs to actually be done.
 * Articles for deletion/Elf cat – ✅ Consensus was to merge WP:SUMMARY version to List of cat breeds, but it requires condensing the material.
 * Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Capital letters – ✅ merge from WP:Manual of Style/Proper names almost unanimously supported, but need to actually do it.
 * Wikipedia talk:Media help – ✅ some cleanup work needs to be done, and possibly a merge (see final comment at discussion)
 * Categories for discussion/Log/2018 February 21 – ✅ move to name without "members" (we don't have narrow subcats. without a parent cat.)
 * Categories for discussion/Log/2018 February 22 – ✅ upmerge as unencyclopedic; more sensible to split by dog type/role.
 * Categories for discussion/Log/2018 February 22 – ✅ upmerge to more concise duplicate/parent Category:Glossaries of medicine.

Changes to WP:POLICY and WP:PROCESS pages
Expect to see a lot of yellow and red icons in here, since writing and changing policy is hard.
 * Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style – ✅ to centralize MoS points about eponyms (as of that writing, scattered in MOS:CAPS and other places); there was an initial bit of confused and very circular noise about this, from a single party, then no further dispute. (will probably end up in Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Archive 221 or 222).
 * Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Biography/2020 archive – ✅ to fix the wikilawyering loophole of the rule in question presently only being in MOS:MUSIC (November 2020). Unanimous support; implemented as MOS:NAMEFMT.
 * Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Infoboxes/Archive 16 – ✅ Is Paris, France France} France redundant or helpful? I say redundant. Result: "Consensus has been determined that nationality or citizenship should not be used when the country would match that found in birthplace".
 * Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Archive 219 – ✅ I didn't open the RfC, but helped draft it (at Template talk:Cquote) and have been "on" this issue since 2007 (I kid you not). Result: "Replace  with the code ... [having] the effect of converting  into  in all mainspace uses, all at once. Make similar changes in ."  Finally!  This puts an end (at least in theory) to people injecting "decorative" quotations in articles that give WP:UNDUE attention to particular viewpoints.
 * Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Capital letters/Archive 28 – ✅ Someone else opened this, though I was quite active in it, and had suggested essentially the same RfC more than once; someone just beat me to it. Near-unanimous support.
 * Wikipedia talk:What Wikipedia is not/Archive 56 – ❌ Quasi-proposal (not "advertised") to tweak some policy wording for clarity. The respondents mostly appeared to misinterpret it, so it self-evidently wasn't formulated well enough to be a solid proposal. The underlying issue still remains to be addressed.
 * Wikipedia talk:User pages/Archive 17 – ✅ Proposal to tweak some guideline wording for clarity. While my exact original edit wasn't accepted, it inspired a big round of group editing, and the section is now clearer, so mission accomplished.
 * Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Lists – ❌ We have no advice on this in ANY page, somehow. Proposal got some support, then a pile of opposes.  I think this can still be worked out, but it will have to be phrased differently.
 * Wikipedia talk:Article titles – ✅ As expected, this did not actually produce a policy change (it will take more than one discussion about the fallacious idea that UCRN (WP:COMMONNAME) is about style). The discussion we get through was productive, and had a strong influence on some later ones, such as Village pump (policy)/Archive 148. The underlying policy-wording problem (simply a lack of an MoS cross-reference) has been needing a fix for years, so we're not done yet.
 * Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Dates and numbers – ❌ A long-unresolved problem will remain so for now. Clear proposal was firehosed with knee-jerk, off-topic negativity by people who did not even read it, after a related and polarized WP:VPPOL thread pointed to the proposal. Will try again some other month.
 * Village pump (proposals)/Archive 152 – ✅ Opened because ArbCom just won't fix discretionary sanctions, left to their own devices. One of the intended effects of this (I did not actually expect the bot proposal to pass, just to spur action) did happen: the menacing template was totally overhauled. However, nothing about how DS operates was changed, so that will need to be reformed some other way.  PS: Surprisingly, the bot proposal actually had majority support.
 * Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Words to watch [may end up in Archive 8 or 9] – ✅ Someone's re-re-RfC of my item immediately below. It passed this time, resulting in Manual of Style/Words to watch, some decade-old advice that was removed from the main MoS page as too specific for it.
 * Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Words to watch/Archive 8 – ✅ Closed without resolution, as needing to be re-proposed (which was done, and ✅ passed; see above entry). This was yet another followup to Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Words to watch (followup to Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Archive 200 and Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Archive 199) – To restore long-standing material that probably shouldn't have been in the main MoS page, but is clearly appropriate for MOS:WTW. The last proposal was unopposed; since it was long-standing main-MoS-page material before being deemed too narrow there, I integrated it into MOS:WTW. This was WP:POINTily reverted, so did another RfC (and another).
 * Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Archive 205 – ✅ No formal close, seems not to have come to a consensus. After three mass "enforcement of MoS" disputes in one week (with two ANI cases and a Village Pump thread about it, this seemed necessary at the time. We might have to revisit this if similar issues arise again.
 * Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Archive 204 – ✅ No constructive input was received. Maybe re-approach this with a drafted merge next time.  Informal proposal to take our sports-related advice, and pull some from wikiproject style essays, into a coherent single page.
 * Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Archive 204 – ✅ Same as above, but with regard to splintered fiction-related advice that has been policy-forking for no reason other than TV vs. film vs. anime specialized-style fallacies.
 * Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Biography/2018 archive – ✅ Supported, unopposed, so implemented. Proposal to stop capitalization of commercial and informal job titles in front of a personal name
 * Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Biography/2018 archive – ✅ Original numeric limit idea rejected. Some follow-on discussion about other limitations was productive but stalled at copyediting phase. Worth revisiting later, to somehow limit the number of post-nominal acronyms after a biography subject's name in the lead.
 * Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Archive 204 – ✅ No support for doing this, and the party in favor of the idea has stopped. Not an RfC, but a discussion of use of code syntax highlighting on sourcecode words in mid-sentence in regular prose.
 * Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (people) – ✅ proposal to fix the conflict (not an RfC, but "advertised" at relevant other talk pages); some discussion mostly about "guideline versus guideline" meta-policy, but the substantive proposal wasn't opposed, so I implemented it and it stuck; NPC has stopped conflicting with MOS:JR.
 * Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Capital letters/Archive 26 – ✅ Seeking to resolve a style conflict, in favor of lower-case (i.e., in favor of what the site-wide guideline says vs. a topical essay). Result: Didn't conclude anything in particular, and didn't have a formal closure. Some followup discussion at Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Capital letters/Archive 27, and innumerable prior discussions about overcapitalization of job and organization titles/roles, plus various later ones (e.g. about "Lord Mayor of [Where Ever]" article about roles/titles as such, versus "List of lord mayors of [Where Ever]" articles where it's a genericized plural/collective reference to a bunch of individuals) all indicate the direction this  eventually go.
 * Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Archive 201 – ❌ RfC, self-explanatory. Result: Consensus was against the specific proposal, though a prior RfC was in favor of doing something about this mess. So, this will need to be revisited later with a different proposal.
 * Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Dates and numbers/Archive 157 – ✅ RfC, to advise against use of "crore" for "ten million". Concluded to continue to permit it, but with some new limitations.
 * Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style – ✅ Accept or advise against this construction (mostly used by non-native English speakers but increasingly common in tech writing)? Conclusion: consensus it's bad grammar, but no consensus to add a line about it to MoS (it's not a frequent enough problem, supposedly. Trust me, it will be.)
 * Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Wikipedia Awards (informal discussion) – ✅ While the response was defensiveness, a suggestion of an RfC or more formal proposal was made, and is the next step.
 * Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style – ✅ Was adopted into MoS, with some minor revision. (I was not a principal author of the material in the page.)
 * Revisiting gendered categories: Let's have a clear criterion of "has or can have a proper article" (a discussion draft) – ✅ Proposal not supported, but something worth implementing instead did emerge: "The solution to the problem you raise is to have an explicit guideline that these categories are non-diffusing and for editors to enforce that."

Mergers and splits

 * Talk:North Britain – ✅ Proposal to merge North Briton, a redundant WP:CONTENTFORK stub, into North Briton, since north[ern] Britons are not a distinct ethnic, linguistic, or cultural group, thus not an encyclopedic topic on their own (January 2021).
 * Talk:John Hornor Jacobs – ✅ Merge stub (already AfDed once) on non-notable book into stub on marginally notable author, in lieu of speedy deletion for re-creation of previously deleted material (December 2020). Merge completed 3 January 2020.
 * Articles for deletion/Jean Mill – ❌ A case of trying to "rub off" notability from an encyclopedic topic to create a memorial bio? Wow, relisted  times (once more than policy sanctions), and went to ANI,  ran for almost a month, then very narrowly concluded to keep.  I'm actually almost glad it did; the article improved a lot in the process, and is arguably encyclopedic now, though the sourcing is still weak (lack of depth or lack of independence). I would still prefer a summarization and merge to a section at Bengal cat.  My main concern about it is that developers of animal breeds are very rarely notable, but most of them [living] are highly promotional, and this may open the door to a flood WP:COI / WP:SOAPBOX pseudo-articles. Just for the record, I have nothing against Mill or her Bengal breed – it's my favorite! (March 2019)
 * Articles for deletion/American Temperament Test Society – ✅ Non-notable organization; merged to Temperament test. (November 2018)
 * Talk:Teaching English as a second language – ✅ Merge from Teaching English as a second language and Teaching English as a foreign language into Teaching English as a second or foreign language
 * Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Rugby union/Archive 20 – ❌ Proposal to merge and redirect WikiProject Rugby union/Notability criteria to WikiProject Rugby union/Notability; it makes no sense to have two competing WP:PROJPAGEs about the same thing. Discussion did not have a clear resolution, and both pages still have merge tags on them.
 * Categories for discussion/Log/2020 February 5 – ✅ Proposal to upmerge to Category:Redirects from fictional locations. Result: "rename Category:Redirects from fictional locations to Category:All fictional location redirects and restructure accordingly" (i.e., it was renamed and re-scoped to include redirects to fictional locations).
 * Templates for discussion/Log/2020 February 5 – ✅ merge back into Template:R to anchor, and fix the latter to stop auto-categorizing things as unprintworthy (bots aren't allowed to do that either). Both propositions were accepted.
 * Talk:Sports league – ❌ Proposal to either re-scope into very clear sections, or split into Sports league and Amateur league. Draws on WP:SUMMARY, WP:NOTDICDEF, WP:SETINDEX as rationales. Did not garner commentary. Need to RfC it to get sufficient input to assess consensus.
 * Wikipedia talk:Wikimedia sister projects/Archive 2 – ❌ A proposal to merge WP:SISTER to be either a subpage of MOS:LINKING or more directly a part of MOS:LINKING. While not supported, there does seem to be some support ✅ for merging of that material to MOS:LINKING.  My was point is that it's unproductive to have interwiki-linking-style-and-layout material in two different places; this may still be fixable in a narrower proposal.
 * Categories for discussion/Log/2018 December 7 – ✅ Upmerged to Category:Template namespace templates, as redundant.
 * Categories for discussion/Log/2018 December 1 – ✅ Upmerged to parent, Category:Cattle.
 * Categories for discussion/Log/2018 December 1 – ✅ Upmerged to parent
 * Categories for discussion/Log/2018 June 30 – ✅ Merged away a bogus article assessment class only used by one project, in the 2000s. Cleaning up all the pages and templates took more work than I thought. I did most of it, but a few good peeps found some spots I missed.
 * Articles for deletion/Supremely Partisan and Articles for deletion/The Mother Court – ❌ Proposals to combine some problematic articles that together might be viable (June 2018). The close of at least the second is questionable, claiming no one argued against the notablity of the book when that is clearly not true. This is a troubling result, as it suggests that an article on every nonfiction book from any major publisher can be kept as long as trivial micro-summary "reviews" appear in library trade publications. If this interpretation is allowed to stand, it will be nearly impossible to remove any article on any book that isn't fiction or self-published. Worse for the short-ish term, we are being WP:GAMED to provide author promotional articles, one for him as a bio, plus two for his books. (June 2018)  Update: The author article, James D. Zirin, was also nominated for deletion (by someone else), and also narrowly survived. As zero of the three articles has improved in the interim, I'm going to recommend they be merged.
 * Categories for discussion/Log/2018 January 20 – ✅ Proposed deleting, but was technically upmerged to Category:Mining as it contained something not in the parent cat. yet.
 * Categories for discussion/Log/2018 January 10 – ✅ Upmerged to Category:Wikipedia cabal humor.
 * Categories for discussion/Log/2017 December 18 – ✅ Merged into Category:Wikipedia draft proposals.
 * Categories for discussion/Log/2017 November 24 – ✅ Merged into Category:Articles containing Pashto-language text.
 * Talk:New Zealand rabbit (March 2016) ✅ After a bunch of venting by one of "the usual suspects" (who for some time was trying to impede almost every single thing I did at breed articles), the merges did in fact proceed exactly as I suggested and for the reasons I suggested them.
 * Articles for deletion/Le vaillant petit tailleur – ✅ Non-notable book; redirected to author, Éric Chevillard. (September 2015)
 * Articles for deletion/ComicsAlliance – ✅ Non-notable website (September 2012). It was re-created later, but after ComicsAlliance won a major industry award in 2015, which is enough to establish notability.
 * Articles for deletion/Log/2008 January 22 – ❌ proposal to merge non-notable bios Ruby Terrill Lomax and John Lomax III to notable family member Alan Lomax. Closed as non-consensus, as a "trainwreck", and would have been better listed at WP:Proposed mergers, though it was at that time not well established. A dozen years later, these articles have not improved at all, and lack substantial coverage in secondary sources. (January 2008)
 * Articles for deletion/Card shark – ✅ To delete a WP:POVFORK re-created after merger of the original Card shark into Card sharp. The discussion initially closed as "keep", but they were later that month re-merged anyway ✅, as I predicted, and by someone else. (December 2007)
 * Articles for deletion/Journalistic writing – ✅ Merge content-forked stub to News style (October 2007).
 * Articles for deletion/Punjab State Carrom Association – ✅ Proposal (accepted) to merge a bunch of local stuff the nominated article. This was before WP:PM existed (June 2007).
 * Articles for deletion/The Ralakan Corollary – ✅ WP:NFT nonsense; some random schmoe's comments about Godwin's law (July 2006).

Deletions

 * Articles for deletion/Flashflight (2nd nomination) – ✅ Non-notable product. First AfD was "no consensus", and over a decade later, the page has not improved even slightly (December 2020).
 * Voodoo Tiki nominated for speedy deletion per G4, A7, and G11 (December 2020). ✅ It was speedily deleted; see User talk:Nobsonwiki for details. This was, I think, the 5th time it was deleted (not counting a move-related redirect deletion).
 * Redirects for discussion/Log/2020 November 20 – ✅ cross-namespace redirect nominated for deletion (was pointing to an essay, not to part of MoS).
 * Categories for discussion/Log/2020 February 5 – ✅ Proposed to delete, as essentially unused and trivial; the end result was coming up for a use for it and populating it.
 * Redirects for discussion/Log/2020 January 25 – ✅ Bogus cat-breed (hoax/fraud) article nominated for simple deletion, or deletion and replacement with redir to unrelated Asherah; the latter was the result.
 * Articles for deletion/Double-nosed Andean tiger hound – ✅ Result: merge (but no page to merge to yet existed at the time). Non-notable cryptid cruft (definitely not a dog breed). Update: Now redirects to Pachón Navarro; that article is about the real breed that is the likely primary ancestor of the alleged bifid-nosed population. Material has been trimmed of WP:OR and supposition. (November 2018)
 * Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:PigeonIP/RMs – ✅ An anti-consensus RM "hit list"
 * Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User talk:MjolnirPants/Editnotice – ✅ On grounds of WP:TPG, WP:OWN, WP:CIVIL, WP:AGF, WP:POLEMIC, WP:CONSENSUS, WP:GAMING, etc., all at once.
 * Freedom Ranger (chicken) – WP:PROD ✅ – Non-notable, promotional, no independent sources.
 * Templates for discussion/Log/2018 December 13 – ❌ To delete redundant template which is also against WP:NOT, WP:NOT, WP:NODISCLAIMER. Ended up being kept on the basis of an argument (that trademarks are not intellectual property) which is completely wrong, legally. But whatever; template has no legit purpose but isn't ; someone else will just nominate it for deletion again later.
 * Articles for deletion/Gary Price (librarian) ✅ – Non-notable bio, promotional purpose, nothing but primary sources. (December 2018)
 * Templates for discussion/Log/2018 November 14 – ✅ This lingering bit of WP:BATTLEGROUNDing needed to be nuked back in 2014.
 * Articles for deletion/Rise Nation – ✅ Non-notable e-sports team. Someone else technically nominated this, but was immediately blocked as a sock. The nom was correct, though, and I supplied the detailed deletion rationale. (July 2018)
 * Redirects for discussion/Log/2018 June 5 – ✅ to delete highly ambiguous redir; consensus was to convert to disambiguation page at Western dance
 * Redirects for discussion/Log/2018 June 22 – ✅ to delete useless "typo shortcut" for MOS:BLPLEAD.
 * Redirects for discussion/Log/2018 June 22 – ✅ to delete useless "typo shortcut" for WP:SURNAME.
 * Redirects for discussion/Log/2018 June 22 – ✅ to delete useless "typo shortcut" for WP:OPENPARA.
 * Redirects for discussion/Log/2018 February 4 – ✅ Got rid of pointless, confusing redir.
 * Redirects for discussion/Log/2018 February 2 – ✅ Deleted redirect, since term not mentioned at target article, and there are other entities that actually use this name, one of which may be notable.
 * Articles for deletion/Post-grunge lit – ✅ Zero sources cited use this term other than a self-published PhD thesis. This is a non-notable neologism. (January 2018)
 * Redirects for discussion/Log/2018 January 16 – ✅ Potentially notable bio subjects should not redirect to their relatives, per WP:REDLINK.
 * Categories for discussion/Log/2018 January 3 – ✅ No such project any longer (superseded by WP:WikiProject Men's Issues).
 * Redirects for discussion/Log/2018 January 1 – ✅ Redlink will inspire article creation, and current redir is confusing.
 * Categories for discussion/Log/2017 December 3 – ✅ Misnomer for the contents (could be recreated with different content, if Category:Cattle breeds were subdivided into taurine, indicine/zebu[ine], and sanga).
 * Categories for discussion/Log/2017 October 23 – ✅ Deleted as pointless.
 * Articles for deletion/Jeannette H. Lee – ❌ Kept as (barely) notable. I ended up significantly improving the article instead. (October 2017)
 * Articles for deletion/Kineti-Go – ✅ Deleted per WP:NCORP, WP:PRODUCT, WP:PROMO. (March 2012)
 * Articles for deletion/Chipo Chung – ❌ Non-notable actor. Has had work, and some press coverage, but it isn't in-depth. This is yet another case of confusion of competence/employability with WP:Notability (a common problem in WP articles pertaining to the entertainment sector). The article was narrowly kept, and after nine+ years has not significantly improved. If anything, the person's claim to notability seems shakier now than it was then, with fewer roles of importance since the 2000s, no increase in non-trivial sourcing, and an increased focus on doing charity work, for which this person isn't notable either. (October 2011)
 * Articles for deletion/Orlando Eye – ✅ WP:NOT / WP:TOOSOON deletion of a then-hypothetical project. Article was later re-created after it became non-iffy. (August 2011)
 * Articles for deletion/Female parliamentarians (2 nomination) – ✅ Non-encyclopedic, tautological WP:DICDEF (August 2011). Later redirected to proper article Women in government.
 * Articles for deletion/Carrie Borzillo – ✅ Non-notable bio (May 2010). Was re-created later ❌, and should probably be deleted again (has no independent and secondary in-depth coverage, only state-level and industry-insider coverage and awards, so is not encyclopedically notable}}
 * Articles for deletion/Joan Carroll Cruz – ✅ Non-notable writer (April 2010).
 * Articles for deletion/The Incorruptibles – ✅ Non-notable book (April 2010). Article was rapidly re-created ❌ in essentially the same form and without any better sourcing. I proposed it for merger into the author article, instead of speedy deletion, and ✅ this was done.
 * Articles for deletion/Big hair – ❌ WP:OR, non-encyclopedic, WP:DICDEF. This is a mishmash of different topics (many of which are notable), put together by an editor's subjective viewpoint that the hairstyles are "big" (March 2010). This was kept, but that was a mistake. The keep rationales basically boil down to WP:ILIKEIT / WP:IKNOWIT, and the closer ignored the actual policy-based arguments, especially WP:NOR.  This should be AfDed again.
 * Articles for deletion/Vanessa Lee Evigan – ❌ Non-notable actor. The article was kept based on faulty reading of WP:ENT. Subject failed and still fails WP:GNG, and is simply competent/employable, plus related to someone notable. Over a decade later, it remains unsourced other than brief mention at unreliable website, plus subject's own primary-source material. I even correctly predicted that her non-notable musician brother would end up with an article because celeb-chasers on WP can't stand having the "set" of Evigans incomplete.  There's another sibling article that also looks iffy, too.  Greg Evigan is notable, but sharing genes with him and having some bit parts in TV shows does not WP:Notability make. (January 2010)
 * Articles for deletion/DuPont Registry – ❌ The WP:PROMO problem with this page (it had no sources but the company's own marketing materials) led me to reflexively nominate this without doing proper WP:BEFORE. (January 2010)
 * Articles for deletion/Chalk to win – ✅ Deleted as WP:BOLLOCKS / WP:HOAX (January 2010).
 * Articles for deletion/Flashflight – ❌ Questionably notable product; result: "no consensus" (December 2009). Over a decade later, the article had not improved even slightly, so I renominated it for deletion.
 * Articles for deletion/500 (outdoor game) – ✅ Deleted WP:NFT game (December 2009).
 * Articles for deletion/3 Flies Up – ✅ Deleted non-notable/OR game variant (December 2009).
 * Articles for deletion/Finball – ✅ Deleted WP:NFT game (November 2009).
 * Articles for deletion/Nguyen Thanh Nam – ✅ Non-notable businessperson (June 2009).
 * Articles for deletion/Pat Fleming (politician) – ❌ Nominated per WP:POLITICIAN (non-notable candidate). I rescinded the nomination, as moot, after Fleming was elected, since the guideline was then satisfied (April 2009).
 * Articles for deletion/Mary Forsberg – ✅ Non-notable model/actor (February 2009).
 * Articles for deletion/Steve Cook (songwriter) – ✅ Non-notable bio (February 2009).
 * Articles for deletion/List of Fresh Mex restaurants – ✅ Deleted as OR, basically. "Fresh Mex" is a registered trademark of a particular company, not a generic description, and we have no Fresh Mex article (October 2008).
 * Articles for deletion/PNG Cutthroat – ✅ Deleted WP:NFT game (March 2008).
 * Articles for deletion/Amjad J. Qaisen – ✅ Deleted non-notable actor bio (February 2008)
 * Articles for deletion/Exploding head – ✅ Deleted as a mixture of nonsense and fancruft, and fundamentally unencyclopedic in approach (December 2007).
 * Articles for deletion/Characters in Stargate – ✅ Deleted WP:CFORK; now redirects to Lists of Stargate characters (October 2007).
 * Articles for deletion/Pool bocce – ✅ Deleted WP:NFT game (September 2007).
 * Articles for deletion/Mexican pool – ✅ Deleted WP:NFT / WP:HOAX game (June 2007).
 * Articles for deletion/Balfour's Law – ✅ Deleted WP:NFT Internet meme-cruft (someone's attempt to write an add-on for Godwin's law). Deleted per WP:NEO, since WP:N wasn't a guideline yet (July 2006).

Moves/renames/re-targetings/re-scopings
This is generally just 2017–2021, since keeping track of it proved tedious.
 * Something I pushed on repeatedly for over a decade, in various venues, without quite gaining enough traction: renaming all the "WikiProject Topic members" categories and pages to "WikiProject Topic participants", to help bring an end to the poisonous misconception that wikiprojects are independent and exclusive walled gardens instead of simply pages at which editors with shared interests agree to collaborate, in keeping with WP:CONLEVEL policy. ✅ Kudos to for the proposal that this time finally got it done: Categories for discussion/Log/2023 October 1.
 * Talk:Icon – group move to better comply with WP:ATT (esp. WP:PRIMARYTOPIC) and with MOS:DAB: move Ikon → Ikon (disambiguation), then Icon → Ikon, then Icon (computing) → Icon.  Someone's immediate followup proposal, Talk:Icon, for Icon → Icon (religious art), then Icon (disambiguation) → Icon,  failed to get consensus, so we're stuck for now with a mess that fails to comply with WP:AT and WP:DAB.
 * Talk:Yan tan tethera – Moved from the over-capitalised Yan Tan Tethera, per WP:NCCAPS, MOS:CAPS, MOS:INCIPIT, MOS:GAMECAPS.
 * Talk:Norilsk Nickel – ✅ Moved from Nornickel to the actual company name. The abbreviated version is pretty frequent, but is not the WP:COMMONNAME.
 * Talk:Forced labour – ✅ Moved from Unfree labour per WP:COMMONNAME.
 * Talk:Goliards – ✅ Rename from Goliard, as a naturally plural title.
 * Talk:Proper and common nouns – ✅ moved from Proper noun and common noun, per WP:CONCISE.
 * Talk:Paramashiva (film) – ✅ moved from Paramashiva so that can redirect Parashiva per WP:PRIMARYREDIRECT and WP:ASTONISH.
 * Wikipedia talk:Arbitration/Index/Principles – ✅ to move currently maintained page from Wikipedia talk:Arbitration/Index/Principles 2 to Wikipedia talk:Arbitration/Index/Principles, and move the dead page then occupying that pagename to "Wikipedia:Arbitration/Index/Principles (historical)" or something (it ended up going to Arbitration/Index/Principles/Pre-2020).
 * Template talk:Blockquote – ✅ from Template:Quote, to match, and to discourage
 * Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Disability/Style guide – ✅ to Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Disability/Style_advice, since this is not a guideline and the name is confusing (this is a essay)
 * Redirects for discussion/Log/2020 November 20 – to retarget to same Signpost page as WP:OP-ED, especially since the original MoS-page target already has MOS:OP-ED, etc., and the whole point of "MOS:" shortcuts is to not "hog" all the mnemonic "WP:" ones for MoS stuff.
 * Talk:Mob rule – ✅ Swapped Mob rule → Mob rule (disambiguation), then Ochlocracy → Mob rule per WP:PRIMARYTOPIC and WP:JARGON.
 * Talk:Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff – ❌ to move to vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff per MOS:JOBTITLES and previous discussion on that page. Due to some initial confusion, this turned into a trainwreck, and ended no consensus.
 * Talk:Arkansas militias during Reconstruction – ✅ from Arkansas Militia in Reconstruction, so it makes some kind of sense.
 * Template talk:Xmark – ✅ to swap original name Template:Cross with is redirect Template:Xmark, since "cross" is ambiguous.
 * Talk:Non-linear editing – ✅ from Non-linear editing system, per WP:CONCISE and to better agree with lead and scope.
 * Talk:Rafeiro do Alentejo - ❌ Rename another Portuguese dog breed to the official FCI name for it in English, instead of the original Portuguese name. No consensus was reached on what name to use, so it remains at the status quo article title.
 * Talk:DMOZ – ❌ My argument was that it was renamed Curlie, and is not defunct, so the page needs to be move and to be updated. Other editors want to treat them as separate entities. I'm not sure there's any sourcing to back that position, but it is what it is for now.
 * Talk:Saint Miguel Cattle Dog – ✅ Moved 3 Portuguese dog breeds to English-language names per WP:USEENGLISH.
 * Categories for discussion/Log/2020 February 5 – ❌ Proposed merge to Category:Slogans. Opposed but on a WP:IKNOWIT "dictionarian" basis that isn't actually supported by dictionaries at all, and which we can see is already causing miscategorization. This will have to be revisited eventually; the problem is still there, and putting our heads in the sand won't fix it.
 * Categories for discussion/Log/2020 February 5 – Proposed merge to Category:Redirects from slogans. Ditto the above pseudo-resolution.
 * Talk:Council of governments – ❌ Suggested rename to either council of government (the concept) or councils of governments (the entities); "council of governments" seemed logically wrong. However, I appear to have misinterpreted.
 * Categories for discussion/Log/2020 January 30 – ❌ Proposed to move to "Category:One-shot comics and manga" because it includes a manga subcat. and there's no need for the punctuation. I somewhat suspected the outcome might be that manga are a subset of comics, thus that title would be redundant. But I rather hoped otherwise. Treating manga as nothing but a subset both denies a major West/East cultural difference, and requires more cat. changes (to ensure that comics cats. which can apply to manga either do so directly or via a manga subcat, and to ensure that all extant manga cats. have at least one comics parent cat.) And we still don't need the parentheses.
 * Talk:The Hexer (TV series) – Proposal to move TV series to The Hexer, and move the "film" (compressed series synopsis) from The Hexer to The Hexer (film), per WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, or possibly even merge the "film" into the series article as a section. ✅ The "film" article was moved, but the The Hexer (film) was not moved, with The Hexer now becoming a two-item disambiguation page.  This is a poor result per WP:TWODABS, since a reasonable PRIMARYTOPIC case can actually be made.  There was only one respondent, who did not reply to rebuttal.  So, this is probably best re-RMed later, with some notice at relevant wikiprojects (TV, film, video games, fantasy) to draw in sufficient editorial input to reach a real consensus.
 * Template talk:Humorous essay – ❌ Proposal to move to Template:Humor essay mostly for WP:PRECISE reasons (i.e., whether an essay is actually is a matter of individual readers' subjective opinions, not authorial intent); did not succeed. Closed as not moved, yet there were only two respondents, and they both relied on the "well it  mean ..." rationale that was rejected in the Talk:Glossary of music terminology move, below.  So, this should probably be re-RMed at some point on a purely WP:CONCISE and WP:CONSISTENT basis, and hopefully with enough input that it's not a WP:FALSECONSENSUS based on fallacious reasoning again.
 * Talk:Off-off-Broadway – ✅ Moved to off-off-Broadway from Off-Off-Broadway, per MOS:GENRE and MOS:DOCTCAPS; sources are not consistent in capitalizing it, and it's not a proper name but a descriptive phrase.
 * Redirects for discussion/Log/2019 December 6 – ✅ Retargeted from Properties of water to Water.
 * Talk:Glossary of music terminology – ✅ Moved to Glossary of musical terminology per WP:CONCISE, WP:PRECISE, WP:CONSISTENT.
 * Template talk:Main talk other – Current name is just confusing. ✅ Closed as no consensus due to inability to agree on a consistent set of names for that entire template family. Closer suggests re-RMing it after a while, with a clarified proposal.
 * Talk:Das Kapital, Volume I – ✅ Multi-RM of all the "Capital, Volume X" articles to move to "Das Kapital, Volume I", etc. to agree (WP:CONSISTENT) with main article title, Das Kapital. Followup to the RM immediately below this one.
 * Talk:Das Kapital – ✅ Idea to nove to Capital (book) (per WP:USEENGLISH, and to be WP:CONSISTENT with Capital, Volume I – Capital, Volume IV) was rejected (which is consonant with a prior RM). However, the alternative proposal to move the volume articles to a name consistent with the main one met with support, and that was laster opened as a new RM, which succeeded (see entry immediately above).
 * Talk:In-group and out-group – ✅ Moved from Ingroups and outgroups, per WP:CONSISTENT, WP:SINGULAR.
 * Talk:Catahoula Leopard Dog - ✅ Moved from Louisiana Catahoula Leopard dog, per WP:COMMONNAME, WP:CONCISE
 * Talk:Three-man chess – ✅ Multi-page RM to fix rampant over-capitalization (Three-Man Chess, etc.) of chess variants, per MOS:GAMECAPS.
 * Talk:North Ossetia–Alania – ✅ Multi-page RM, mostly MOS:DASH, plus some WP:CONSISTENT and WP:CONCISE issues; moved away from North Ossetia – Alania, etc.
 * Categories for discussion/Log/2019 March 10 – ✅ We don't need to stick "Wikipedia" at the front of category names unless there's a likelihood of confusion with real-world topics (or we should do it to all of them just in case, to be consistent – but not be veering back and forth for no reason).
 * Talk:Lumiere (database) – ✅ Moved from LUMIERE, because it's not an acronym (I originally suggested Lumiere (website), but we settled on "(database)".
 * Talk:Media Programme of the European Union – ✅ Moved from MEDIA Programme, because it's not an acronym, and "Media Programme" by itself is ambiguous.
 * Talk:George Hodel – ✅ Moved from George Hill Hodel, as over-disambiguation (by middle name, which we don't do) for something that isn't ambiguous with any other article anyway
 * Talk:Winter sports – ✅ Moved from List of winter sports to Winter sports (and against the proposal Winter sport; I didn't open the RM, but provided the title that prevailed.
 * Talk:Attack on Titan (TV series) – ✅ Moved from List of Attack on Titan episodes, with that page now redirected to Attack on Titan (TV series); we don't need a "List of Foo episodes" page unless and until a embedded episode list becomes too long for a main show article, and no such list article should exist without such a main show article in the first place.
 * Talk:Boar–pig hybrid – ✅ Original article name, Iron Age pig, and the slant of the article, was an WP:UNDUE marketing focus (on non-notable brand or pseudo-breed) in what should be (and now is) a general article on boar–pig hybrids and their environmental and agricultural impact.
 * Talk:Wiley (publisher) – ✅ Moved from John Wiley & Sons per WP:COMMONNAME, WP:OFFICIALNAME, WP:CONCISE, WP:RECOGNIZABLE
 * Categories for discussion/Speedy (permalink) – ✅ Unopposed. Category:Chicken hybrids → Category:Chicken crossbreeds; these words are not synonymous, and all entries in the category are crossbreeds. A cat. redirect was left behind briefly, but later removed as unnecessary.
 * Talk:Media Source Inc. - ✅ Unopposed. Media Source as article title for this company article failed several WP:CRITERIA; now a disambiguation page.
 * Talk:Ricochet (dog) – ✅ old title Surf Dog Ricochet failed WP:CONCISE and WP:CONSISTENT among other P&G; this was a re-RM of one listed below which closed against the move despite policy and sources supporting it.
 * Talk:Lists of domestic animal breeds – ✅ No such thing as a breed of wild animal.
 * Talk:VIBE Vixen – ✅ Over-capitalization cleanup (also of what is presently URB (magazine))
 * Talk:Science Daily – ✅ correct publication title is ScienceDaily
 * Articles for deletion/ICZN – ✅ Deleted two-item disambiguation page and redirected to the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC; both items in the DAB page really resolved to the same encyclopedic topic anyway: a nomenclature code and its publisher. (August 2018)
 * Talk:Nithyananda – ✅ moved from Swami Nithyananda, per MOS:JOBTITLE, WP:NTITLE.
 * Talk:Swami Vivekananda – ❌ (So much for WP:CONSISTENT.) Nominated per MOS:JOBTITLE & WP:NTITLE, just like the above case.
 * [A large block of them are missing; I forgot to keep track.]
 * Talk:Henry III of France – ✅ Huge WP:CONSISTENT mess to clean up; this is an open "what should we do?" discussion more than an RM per se, though I do make a proposal to favor Henri for French subjects and Henry for English ones. Result: No consensus reached, with regard to that article or the entire lot of them, so this will need to be revisited again later.
 * Categories for discussion/Speedy (at Category:Steeplechase horse racing to Category:Steeplechase), and eventually Categories for discussion/Log/2018 February 28 – ✅ Consensus went with an alternative disambiguation.
 * Redirects for discussion/Log/2018 February 20 – ✅ Delete an inappropriate redir from company to product; alternative proposal to link to the (now identified) parent company. Conclusion: use alternative redirect target.
 * Talk:NATO phonetic alphabet/Archive 2, and User talk:BD2412 – ❌ Request to change close of Talk:NATO phonetic alphabet to a simple "no consensus" instead of the PoV-laden original close; otherwise take to WP:MR. This admin nuked his entire talk page and replaced it with an "I'm busy" note, which makes it difficult to demonstrate the level of hostility thrown at me when I made this request. Too late for MR now; will need to re-RM it.
 * Talk:Gun control/Archive 21 – ✅ Not my proposal, but an important RM I've supplied a lot of input into. Closed as "no consensus" but needs to be revisited, and I may do it myself.
 * Talk:Water skiing – ✅ RM to Waterskiing to reflect more common usage. Closed as "no consensus", so will have to try it again later with more sourcing.
 * Talk:Ricochet (dog) – original RM: ❌ move to Ricochet (dog) from Surf Dog Ricochet for WP:CONSISTENT with contents of Category:Individual dogs, away from a marketing appellation used in <10% of reliable sources. Was closed as "Not moved" (i.e. no consensus) despite there being no policy- or sourced-based reason to retain the present misnomer title (bad close that just "counted votes"). ✅ Re-RMed later with additional rationales (see above).
 * Redirects for discussion/Log/2018 February 4 – ✅ retargeted to same place WP:GAMEGUIDE, instead of to MOS:VG.
 * Redirects for discussion/Log/2018 January 24 – ✅ retargeted from Nicastrese to Nicastro (instead of Nicastrese goat)
 * Talk:Australian White sheep – ✅ multi-page RM to Australian White sheep, etc., from naturally ambiguous names.
 * Talk:Brown Caucasian cattle – ✅ multi-page RM to Brown Caucasian cattle, etc., from naturally ambiguous names.
 * Talk:Guilty Party (video game) – ✅ moved from Guilty Party which now redirects to the Guilty party disambiguation page
 * Talk:Party Party – ✅ moved disambiguation page from The Party Party, per WP:THE and to match its own content
 * Talk:Two-tone (music genre) – ✅ move from 2 Tone (music genre) which is confusing the genre with 2 Tone Records trademark
 * Wikipedia talk:List of sound files – ✅ RM, to no longer be a subpage of a redirect (moved from Sound/list)
 * Help talk:Media – ✅ multi-page RM to "Help:" namespace (moved from Media help, etc.)
 * Help talk:Pictures – ✅ RM to "Help:" namespace; moved from Picture tutorial, but to an even shorter name than I suggested (which was Help:Picture tutorial).
 * Template talk:More citations needed – ✅ RM to plain-English name (from jargony and actually ambiguous Template:Refimprove); someone's opened an MR about it here
 * Categories for discussion/Log/2017 December 18, etc. – ✅ Renamed to "procedural".
 * Talk:Dobermann – ✅ Moved to internationally preferred name, not the WP:SYSTEMICBIAS one favored by a single US-based group
 * Categories for discussion/Log/2017 November 15 – ✅ Renamed to Category:World champions by sport.
 * Categories for discussion/Log/2017 November 13 – ✅ A more complex solution was arrived at than my original proposal.
 * Categories for discussion/Log/2017 November 4 and subcats – ✅ Renamed to "Pigeon breeds by country of origin".
 * [huge gap]
 * Talk:English in New Mexico/Archive 1 – ✅ Moved from New Mexican English, which asserted a dialect (that not all sources agree is distinct) and is too narrow a subtopic
 * [years missing]
 * Articles for deletion/Voodoo Tiki – ✅ Re-userfication of an insufficiently sourced draft (previously deleted then later userfied on the condition that it not be moved out of userspace until fully sourced (February 2008). Was later re-created in mainspace in at least as a bad for as the original, so nominated for speedy deletion.
 * Articles for deletion/Rounder – ✅ Deleted unsourced WP:DICDEF page with WP:DAB page that links to all the articles to which various meanings of the term apply, and at which they are sourced. (July 2007)

Changes to template functionality

 * Template talk:Infobox person/Archive 35 – ❌ to replace this trivia parameter with one for places of residence during period of notability. Insufficient feedback for consensus to be clear.  RfC it?
 * Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Infoboxes/Archive 16 –
 * Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Archive 219 –
 * Template talk:R from television episode – ❌ To resolve a dispute about instructions in the template. No consensus was reached.
 * Template talk:Interlanguage link – ✅ Style cleanup; implemented with unanimous support.
 * Template talk:Yesno and RfC below it – ✅ Changes to a protected template to now detect on/off (as well as its then-current yes/no, 1/0, true/false, etc.). This should not have required this RfC, per WP:Common sense and WP:WIKILAWYER, but so it goes.
 * Module talk:Yesno – ✅ Module-improvement request accepted; a follow-up to the successful proposal at the template version, since it did not carry over, somehow, to the module implementation.

Nominations of others for permissions, etc.

 * Requests for permissions/Page mover – ✅ Nomination of editor for WP:Page mover permission. Was accepted.

Sockpuppet investigations, requests for arbitration, sanctions/remedies
I won't list all of them here, just those that "did something". Lots of noticeboard action just archive away without closure, or close as "no action at this time".
 * Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement – ✅ Won't go into details here. Closed as something to be addressed by ArbCom directly, but closed with admonition . That was my actual expectation of and intent for the outcome, though the suggested topic-ban would also have been appropriate.
 * Arbitration/Requests/Case/Flyer22 and WanderingWanda – ✅ Was not a party, but provided evidence and analysis  to thwart a WP:POVRAILROAD attempt. Case was going to close with simply a mutual interaction-ban, which is what was proposed/expected at the start, before it was hijacked for railroading. Case closed without formal decision  upon the death, after a long illness, of one of the parties
 * Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive1004 – ✅ Long-term editwarring case. As I expected, it did not result in the proposed T-ban; it did result in a self-imposed restriction, which is more than what I did expect (just a warning). So, issue solved.
 * Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive1003 – ✅ Closed without consensus; remanded to Arbitration/Requests/Case (still open as of March 2018)
 * Sockpuppet investigations/107.215.53.37/Archive – ✅ A pair of IPs used by the same person for consistent vandalism.
 * Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive997 – ✅ Warning issued (the actual intent, though it came close to a topic ban)
 * Sockpuppet investigations/Best known for IP – ✅ A set of disruptive and uncivil IP socks was positively IDed and blocked.
 * Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive997 – ✅ Topic ban from terriers, and dog-fighting.
 * Arbitration/Requests/Case/Civility in infobox discussions – ✅ Request to include someone as a party in the RfArb about someone else; was accepted, but the end result was just a warning.
 * Sockpuppet investigations/Tobias Conradi/Archive – ✅ A set of IP socks was positively IDed and blocked.
 * Administrators%27 noticeboard/IncidentArchive968 (November 2017) – ✅ Disruptive editor topic-banned from MoS.
 * Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement/Archive189 (January–February 2016) – ✅ MoS's longest-term disruptor finally topic-banned. This was, I think, the fifth such noticeboard action, the second by me; same user has since got blocked, got indeffed, had talk-page access revoked, and had multiple appeals declined.
