Redirect

 * Hi Anthony! When you speedy delete an article, don't forget to check What links here for orphaned redirects that also need to go. Easy to do, I know (he says from pained experience). Cheers! ➔ REDVEЯS isn't wearing pants 19:43, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Vangteh

 * So, why did you say that "Guite Dynasty" is nonesense. Am i not correct to translate the native language "Ukna/Uk-gam" into its English equivalent "Dynasty" since it is for sure a kind of hereditary princedom? Further, i feel that you should better make at least a short discussion with the author before any blind deletion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Khumpita (talk • contribs) 03:24, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
 * The page is called Vangteh. At 22:22, 31 October 2007 User:Andyjsmith speedy-delete-tagged it as ""Nonsense or hoax: there are no relevant ghits for "Vangteh" and none at all for "Guite Dynasty" or "Guite Uk-gam". No references. Article written by SPA.". Anthony Appleyard 06:14, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
 * It may be true for you to say "nonesense" if Vangteh had been fortunately located in another part of the world other than its present location in Burma-Myanmar, where the soceity is not free enough as yours. Therefore, the point is that we cannot rule out everything with our own standard that's only applicable to a very limited circle in this big world. Of course, lack of printed materials had humiliated the history of Vangteh much until this present time. However, we have still authentic oral traditions as more than one hundred households are still practicing their old-time-religion, in which such oral traditions are more than a simple history but even the most sacred part of the religion that they treated with great care and reverence. Previous page named Vangteh is actually direct interpretation of part of those oral traditions. If you have been in any ancient society, you would trust those sacred rites even more than printed materials with full of bias of writers themselves, I hope.Khumpita 03:26, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

 * Hi! Thanks for helping me edit my article. While trying to following your kind suggestion at all my best, still, i wanna keep some small thing in my own style, e.g., some footnotes. i feel that, without footnoting, some paragraph seems very unrelated since things need to know beforehand (preknowledge) are more convinient to be dealt with in such. Hope your kind understanding. Thanks.Khumpita 11:45, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
 * For clarity, I have again incorporated the long footnotes into the text. It is annoying to readers to have to repeatedly go to the end of the page or the end of the chapter or the end of the book to find part of the information. Also:
 * Please do not start a paragraph with a space: that causes a strange format.
 * I have changed the capitalization in the section titles to Wikipedia standard.
 * Try to avoid essay style. Stick to encyclopedia article style.


 * Hi! Thanks for correction. Please, see again that i have updated with further references (with little comment on each). Thanks always. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Khumpita (talk • contribs) 14:26, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

AfD for Fountain of Tyr
Hi. I notice that there was a nomination for AfD of the Fountain of Tyr article, and that you had filed the nomination. The AfD may be found here. In sorting current AfD's this morning, I found that it was still open, despite the article having been deleted already. I went ahead and closed it for you. I'm not sure how it got missed for that long, but it's a non issue, as the article's still deleted. Best, ZZ Claims~ Evidence 14:13, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

Jennifer
Thanks for helping out promptly with Jennifer (given name) etc today.

May I ask whether you intentionally changed the etymology of the name? Perhaps you inadvertently skipped more edits than you intended in your edit summarised as rv histmerge junk. I'm happy to reinstate it myself, but first please advise whether there was a good reason for the way you left the page. - Fayenatic (talk) 18:28, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I have restored the etymology paragraphs. I suspect that what happened was some result of the annoying habit of edits of a page, when being undeleted, sometimes spending a long time in limbo between disappearing from the list of deleted edits and appearing in the list of non-deleted edits. Anthony Appleyard 23:12, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I'll take your word for that! Thank you and good-night. - Fayenatic (talk) 00:21, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

Recent Deletion
I would like to speak with you about the recent deletion. I am under the impression it was deleted without any informing me. I was the original creator of the article. You set the tag as copy right violation (this makes me look bad). ANYTHING taken off of another site, rewritten in your own words is not copy right violation (obviously everything on wikipedia is a collection of data previously cited). My article was about a game. I listed information about the games development, and storyline from multiple sources in my own words. --businessman332211 02:36, 10 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Also, the article was the one about alpha prime. I would like the article's deletion reverted.  If you feel that it's in need of deletion, please use standard AFD.  I was not even informed about it's deletion, and if the text was left as it was when I originally created it, it was not copyright violation. --businessman332211 02:38, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Ah, my sincerest apologies. I had looked at the wrong article.  I just created a new article a minute ago, and I had forgot the name of it, and forgot to list it in my links.  I went there to make changes it said it was deleted (by you) but I accidentally when to the wrong article.  Sorry about me misunderstanding.  Apologies --businessman332211 02:41, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

 * I am a bit confused on why you deleted the photo from Malalai_Joya. The images is still there on wiki commons and is listed as GFDL, how you think it is violation of copyrights?? Probably there something that I can't understand. Please explain. []
 * The image is Image:MalalaiJoya giglio.jpg. The delete tag was " ". Anthony Appleyard 18:08, 10 November 2007 (UTC)


 * I see, then if anyone tag a photo like this, that is enough to remove it from Wiki?? How could he/she prove his/her claim? The photo is also there on Flickr under CC-BY-licensed which means such photos could be uploaded on Wiki too. . &#1587;&#1608;&#1583;&#1575;&#1576;&#1607;  19:00, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

 * The page is PopCo Entertainment. At 23:37, 10 November 2007 User:Yourname speedy-delete-tagged it "It is an article about a company or corporation that does not indicate the importance or significance of the subject.". To insert your planned page, its subject would have to be noteworthy (see WP:NN), and not like an advertisement. Anthony Appleyard 09:07, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

Daniel Geduld

 * Hi, you recently placed a redirect on this article and in the edit summary you wrote "failed AfD." I'm confused what you meant by this, since the vote for deletion was almost unanimous. If this is what you meant, then the article should be deleted as well, to eliminate the BLP-incompatible material associated with the page, and to discourage editors from reverting this information back. If this isn't what you meant, and you believe the article should have been retained, please explain your reasoning for that on my talk page. Thank you. Cumulus Clouds 22:02, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
 * As you see, I changed Daniel Geduld into a redirect to The Skeletor Show. I have put Daniel Geduld on my watch list. If someone reverts it back to the text, then I will delete it, and then undelete only the edit which is the redirect. Anthony Appleyard 22:17, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
 * But since that material is still in the edit history, and since the vote was overwhelmingly in favor of deletion, I don't understand why the page isn't already deleted. Cumulus Clouds 22:42, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I have now deleted Daniel Geduld, except for its last redirect, which is the redirect to The Skeletor Show. Anthony Appleyard 22:46, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your help. Cumulus Clouds 01:42, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

Hogwarts edits
I understand that we are using British English for spellings and colloquialisms, but your edit, which in all other ways is perfectly acceptable noted in the edit summary that 'a bathroom is a room with a bath in it' is inaccurate as it applies to its usage in American english. Bathroom encompasses both the toilet, tub and sink. while it isn't that big a deal - at least you didn;t substitute 'w.c.', which would have prompted me to include a parenthetical explanation/translation - it might be helpful to remember that folk outside the UK also speak English. :) - Arcayne   (cast a spell)  21:05, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

speedy deletion question

 * Hello Anthony,

I have a couple quick questions, in regards to an article I wrote that was speedily deleted (Hera Gallery)

I am a new user, so just learning. I have read extensively on the help section before writing, and even described the article subject I wanted to write about in the Help Desk section to make sure it was notable and suitable enough. The general consensus from those that responded to my question said that as long as there are the appropriate references/ and or reference to notable events, it would be OK.

In my haste I wrote a stub, without those references, and without properly marking as a stub. So I understand why it was deleted.

My questions are: Is there a way for me to just get the text back? I would like to write more, add the proper references and citations, and resubmit. Please let me know what you think. Thanks for your help! Mollificent 20:57, 15 November 2007 (UTC)


 * I have restored it, as Hera Gallery. Anthony Appleyard 21:16, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

Your recent undoing of move of Buddha to Buddha (general)
Hi Anthony -

I know you're a hard-working admin, so I feel somewhat badly and awkward for taking your time up with this, but I would appreciate it if you would help me better understand the recent undoing of the move of the Buddha page to Buddha (general).

If I may explain the background, back in early October, at Talk:Gautama_Buddha, a conversation was started that led to an examination of which page should be called "Buddha": (1) the current Buddha page, which was about the concept of "Buddha" and could perhaps be summarily distinguished as referring to "a Buddha"; or, (2) the current Gautama Buddha page, which is aboutform the person who is known as "the Buddha," the "founder of Buddhism," the "historical Buddha." It turns out that, based on a search of authoritative on-line encyclopedias (such as the Encyclopedia Britanicca), documented at Talk:Gautama_Buddha (starting on Oct 10), the majority of authoritative, generally accessible encyclopedias readily referenced use their "Buddha" articles to describe "the Buddha" (who we currently describe at Gautama Buddha). If I may, I would like to underline that this finding &mdash; that "Buddha" most often references "the Buddha," not "a Buddha" &mdash; is simply a statement of fact, supported also by a generic Google search of "Buddha" as well as a review of WP pages currently linking to Buddha (see Special:Whatlinkshere/Buddha).

As a result of this factual finding, the community (primarily at Talk:Gautama Buddha but also with pointers and requests for participation at Talk:Buddhism [initially posted Oct 7 by User:Arrow740 ] and Talk:Buddha) discussed whether the current Buddha page should have moved to it either the current Gautama Buddha article or a Buddha disambiguation page. At the same time, at Talk:Buddha (starting Oct 25), the above facts were stated and a vote was started as to what to now rename the Buddha page. After over two weeks (on Nov 11), seven of the most prolific and experienced WP Buddhism editors voted on moving Buddha to Buddha (general) (as represented here at Talk:Buddha). So, in response to a now over month-long process, I made the move of Buddha to Buddha (general).

(Since then, two earnest and thoughtful people have wanted to explore renaming Buddha (general), for instance, perhaps moving it to Buddhahood instead (which, FWIW, was my initial proposal). And, of course, I welcome such a continued discussion.  But it does not question the need to move the prior (and now, due to your undo, current) Buddha article off the Buddha namespace.  This is significant because, since I assumed the move of Buddha to Buddha (general) as described above was based on a solid, patient, communal process, when I made a move-request at WP:RM, I only listed the move of Buddha (disambiguation) to Buddha, which appeared to be the growing and clear consensus on Talk:Gautama Buddha.)

I see now that at 5:17 today, at http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Requested_moves&diff=prev&oldid=172058830, a user named "The Evil Spartan," who I do not recollect as ever before participating on WP's Buddhism pages and who appears to hold a firm but under-informed understanding of Buddhism (per his statement at Talk:Buddha_%28disambiguation%29) indicated that the above month-long discussion and vote's resultant move was "premature" and that an undo would be "uncontroversal." (Of course, if I may be clear, I do not at all mean to impugn The Evil Spartan's motivation, but I do question his assessment in this instance.) I have no doubt that you then, very diligently and good-heartedly, two hours later, perhaps taking The Evil Spartan's statement at face value, undid the above move.

So, now I am concerned that this process will be further delayed, complicated and confused. For instance, given your recent undo, do I now have to post to WP:RM a request to move Buddha back to Buddha (general), despite the above process? Otherwise, I deduce (perhaps incorrectly?) Buddha (disambiguation) cannot be moved to the now re-occupied Buddha space. Or could you, in light of this discussion which I hope shows that The Evil Spartan's request for move in fact was under-informed and thus ultimately misguided, self-revert your move? Any recommendations?

Your help and guidance are much appreciated. Best wishes, Larry Rosenfeld (talk) 20:11, 17 November 2007 (UTC)


 * At 20:26, 17 November 2007 User:Nat Krause moved Buddha to Buddha (general) over redirect.
 * I have moved Buddha (disambiguation) to Buddha.
 * In Buddha (general) I inserted the Devanagari spelling of the word Buddha.

This query seems to remain: What is the best name for page Buddha (general)? (He was not an army general!!) Try Buddha (generic)? Buddhas? Anthony Appleyard (talk) 23:07, 17 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Anthony -
 * You have made my day! Thanks so much for so quickly, thoughtfully and thoroughly following up!  I really do appreciate it.  Kudos!
 * I think that your suggestions for alternate names are good ones. Would you mind adding your ideas to Talk:Buddha_%28general%29 so others could consider them? (Alternately, if you like, I'd be happy to move copy/summarize them there.) Perhaps the title Buddha (general) seemed right to people (including myself) initially but now that it's done people are having strong second thoughts. For instance, I know I missed the whole military context of "general"; I think the caveat about this that you and another has raised is definitely valid.
 * Thanks so much once again. Best regards,
 * Larry Rosenfeld (talk) 03:29, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
 * P.S. In addition to the moves, I also really appreciate the clean-up you did of the Buddha dab page. Nicely done! Larry Rosenfeld (talk) 03:33, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

Simple format/style question
Hi Anthony. I'm new here. My first contribution (as a member) was to add a definition for "Bass Violin." I notice that you changed it to "Bass violin," with only the first word of two capitalized.

Deleting Gamma Zee
There is a need to prove that the videogame Gamma Zee is notable (see WP:NN), else people will keep on tagging or deleting it as "not notable". Anthony Appleyard (talk) 08:47, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I was looking up information on Gamma Zee and I see you deleted the article on it. Even if the page was a stub or beginning I think it's a page that needs to exist and I think the deletion should be reversed.  I would disagree with your assertion of "no content" because the page you deleted actually contained some content.  A basic google search shows that people actually know of this game and it has sources.  There are plenty of pages on wikipedia that are not interesting to 99.999% of the population.  Does this mean they should be deleted?  Of course not.  If you think the page didn't have enough content, why don't you add more to it?  Or if it needed sources, why don't you find the sources instead of deleting it?  Cazort (talk) 00:51, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

Re: Omni Shopping Artice.
Hi Stifle,

In relation to the Omni Shopping article. I am one of the Centre administrators in the Omni Park shopping center. Both myself and a collegue have repeatedly tried to update this article to include accurate information to do with the centre. I have updated it numerous times to try and include more information about the centre and corrected the inaccurate information such as units being left vacant due to high rent (totally untrue I might add). Each time the changes made gets flagged as vandalism and reverted to a previous version with incorrect information. Is it possible to have a protection set up on this article or a comment from yourself as an admin to prevent the vandalism revert.

Regards,

Centre Administrator Omni Park Shopping Centre.

19:35, 18 November 2007 User:Sabre151
 * The page is Omni Shopping Centre. The disputed matter was put in under the name User:213.79.43.217, and the "reversions for vandalism" were done by the bot User:VoABot II. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 10:29, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately the information you included was an advertisement, and Wikipedia doesn't allow these, therefore the removal was correct. If you want to write about the centre from a neutral point of view, citing sources, then go right ahead. Stifle (talk) 10:56, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

E-Booking AfDs
I think you might have made a mistake with the Articles for deletion/Ebooking. The article doesn't refer to anything common, and seems focused on some kind of government reservation system rather than airlines and hotels.

 * I did not create this file. Someone moved City University of Hong Kong to Shity University of Hong Kong the usual way. Someone moved it back by cut-and-paste. I then histmerged Shity University of Hong Kong (which contained most of its edit history) into City University of Hong Kong; this left Shity University of Hong Kong as a new redirect.

 * Sorry about the template message -- I know you didn't create the page. I didn't realize that WP:TW was going to add a message to your talk page when I used it to request a speedy deletion of the redirect.  Anyway, I've added a warning to the editor's talk page who made the actual edit. –panda (talk) 23:05, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Training camp
A tag has been placed on Training camp requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

 * Howdy, I noticed the redlink for Fratzog and saw from the deletion log that you handled it. I was not able to find a deletion discussion page (such as Articles for deletion/Fratzog) or maybe I was looking in the wrong spot.  Anyway, I wanted to get a look at the content of that article to determine if it, or any parts of it, could be salvaged for a rewrite.  It would help to improve the Dodge family of articles.

Deletion of "Yew-Kwang Ng" article
Dear Mr. Appleyard: I tried tracking down why the Yew-Kwang Ng article was deleted several weeks ago without success. I'm glad that there is now this record:
 * 10:43, 24 October 2007 Anthony Appleyard (Talk | contribs) deleted "Yew-Kwang Ng".


 * Is there any way of finding the the specific reason(s) for its deletion? Thank you for your help.  --Thomasmeeks (talk) 20:21, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
 * It was speedy deleted, i.e. "non-notable biographical". I have undeleted it and AfD'ed it Articles for deletion/Yew-Kwang Ng. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 22:20, 29 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Thx for quick, proactive help. It needs some cleaning up (chiefly easy-to-make deletions of personal stuff, such as in 1st sent, as probably non-WP:VER material), but the individual has s non-trivial 750+ Google Scholar hits and is well-knoown for contributions in welfare economics and mesoeconomics,  the latter of which he largely helped make theoretically respectable.

George Becali vs. Gigi Becali

 * I saw you moved Gigi Becali to George Becali. His real name is really "George", but he's almost universally referred in the press as "Gigi", a Romanian diminutive/nickname of George. Wikipedia should use the most common name, like we have Bill Clinton, not William Jefferson Clinton. bogdan 10:56, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

 * I moved it back. The nominator listed it as "Uncontroversial proposals", which was not correct (it is controversial) and the due process was not respected (he did not announce the nomination on the talk page of the article). bogdan 13:08, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

CiRCA
I created an article today on http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=CiRCA_%28Nightclub%29 and it was nominated for speedy deletion, and andy suggested I add  if I contested it. I tried to add the  as he suggested, but the article appears to have already been deleted. This factual encyclopedic article was deleted the same day I created it. I'm wondering why it was deleted without giving me even a couple of hours to make my case for it. Please let me know if anything can be done to restore the article for long enough to allow a fair and open discussion.Glogger 18:32, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

If this article is re-created, it would have to read less like an advertisement, and prove notability of that night club above other night clubs: see WP:NN. Anthony Appleyard 23:20, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
 * At 12:27, 1 December 2007 User:Glogger created CiRCA (Nightclub).
 * At 14:19, 1 December 2007 User:Mushroom moved CiRCA (Nightclub) to CiRCA: "no need to disambiguate", thus leaving CiRCA (Nightclub) as a redirect
 * At 6:20, 1 December 2007 User:Andyjsmith speedy-delete-tagged CiRCA : "this is simply an advert for a club"
 * At 7:02, 1 December 2007 User:Anthony Appleyard deleted CiRCA and CiRCA (Nightclub)

‎Is it possible to re-create the article and give our research team a chance to improve the article? I'm not an advertiser (I'm a professor who does research on technology-related topics, and CiRCA seemed notable for its use of new interactive technologies and design). I started writing the article today, and then it got deleted while I was still writing it. I'd like to have a chance to add more material to the article that explains why this facility is culturally significant.Glogger 01:31, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

Also, who is user mushroom? I noticed that mushroom has lots of edits to lots of articles, at a rate of around ten edits per minute. At that rate, mushroom is doing an edit every six seconds. I didn't realize wikipedia responded that fast to edits, so it would seem mushroom must be using multiple processes at the same time to work wikipedia that fast???Glogger 01:35, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

User:Mushroom is a Wikipedia administrator.

If I undeleted CiRCA now, someone would almost certainly delete it, because as it stood at its last edit it merely described (and advertized) the nightclub and did not describe any new or unusual technology. If this new technology is noteworthy (see WP:NN), then it will be enough to write e.g. "CiRCA is a nightclub in Toronto, Canada" and describe the new technology. Apart from this new technology, there are so many thousands of nightclubs in the world that Wikipedia has not the room to describe them all. Or, preferably, name the page after the new technology system and not after the nightclub. Anthony Appleyard 07:01, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

I wrote a long detailed article on CiRCA that included its history, historical infromation about the opening ceremonies, and various detailed sections about different aspects of it, illustrated with several pictures that our research team took there. I also wrote detailed captions for each of the photographic illustratrations. Is there a simple way this text can be recovered, or does it exist in a cache of some sort?Glogger 16:56, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

Is there a way that I can see the history of my article, e.g. how it got changed to a redirect, and how it is that my contributions got erased (i.e. how it was made so that the only contributor was Mushroom)? Is there any edit history on the article?Glogger 22:20, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

"12:27, 1 December 2007 . . Glogger (Talk | contribs | block) (1,138 bytes) (initial creation of article)" was the first recorded (deleted) edit of page CiRCA. Any older edits may have been on a page with a somewhat different name. Anthony Appleyard 14:06, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

Brentwood, Essex
Hi there - no particular issues one way or the other about how (the original) Brentwood is listed as long as it is and the content is right, but you have just reversed a change to the Brentwood pages that seemed to be undertaken with good intentions, and have thrown up what might be an issue in doing so. One effect of your change(s) is that if you now type Brentwood in the search box the only link that does not come up is the Brentwood, Essex link. Is this intentional?

Orono CnP request

 * When you say "looks like two parallel versions", do you mean that it shouldn't be merged? There were only nine versions under my preferred title (Orono, Maine), and they were all back in 2004: all development since then has been on Orono (town), Maine.--uɐɔlnʌɟoʞǝɹɐs 16:09, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
 * The text that I found in Orono (town), Maine was created at 00:19, 4 July 2003 by User:Rambot as a redirect to Orono (town), Penobscot County, Maine.
 * Orono, Maine was created at 00:10, 10 February 2004 by User: Jengod and as a stub with less than 100 bytes of information text until at 12:15, 9 December 2004 User:Ahoerstemeier changed it to a redirect to Orono (town), Maine.
 * Orono (town), Penobscot County, Maine was created at 22:46, 2 July 2003 by User:Rambot with edit comment "(Added geographic and demographic data)". This is the earliest known edit of any of these 3 pages; this edit comment suggests that there were older edits which are now lost.
 * At 01:36, 4 July 2003 User:Rambot seems to have cut-&-pasted Orono (town), Penobscot County, Maine to Orono (town), Maine.

I histmerged Orono (town), Penobscot County, Maine into Orono (town), Maine. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 17:29, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

Benito Jerónimo Feijóo y Montenegro move
You kindly moved Benito Jerónimo Feijoo y Montenegro to Benito Jerónimo Feijóo y Montenegro at my request. Unfortunately I may have jumped too soon. I got Feijóo from Encyclopedia Britannica 1911 and 2004. Most, but by no means all, sites in Spanish that I looked at since, including the Spanish Wikipedia, use Feijoo. Spanish and German wikis even have a redirect from Feijóo, implying that is a common incorrect spelling.

On the whole, I'd like to leave it where it is for now. Perhaps I can find someone who can explain authoritatively whether EB (and a few Spanish sites such as here and here) are better authorities or, more likely, this is something to do with the development of Spanish orthography in the past century.

Category User koine

 * Hello Anthony. There was a discussion regarding Category:User koine that you deleted a while ago here, after which the admin who deleted it decided to recreate it himself. Please examine that discussion. Koine Greek is the language the New Testament was written in, and is significantly different from Ancient Greek, to the point of being highly intelligible by modern Greek speakers. Koine users should in no way be merged with ancient Greek ones, that would be a mistake. I, for one, understand the Bible perfectly from the original text, but I wouldn't say the same for Herodotus, or (worse) Homer. Thanks. NikoSilver 00:16, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I know Ancient Greek (self-taught long after I left school), and I know the difference between various Greek dialects. I deleted the page Category:User koine because at 21:08, 11 December 2007 User:Babelious speedy-delete-tagged it " ", likely because to him the presence of "User " at the start of its name looked like a confusion between ordinary pages and userpages. (I never delete a category that has one or more members.) It might be best if you chose for this category a name that does not look like a name of a type of Wikipedia special page (in this case, a user page). Some of its links to foreign Wikipedias look as if people thought that it was a user page or a category of Wikipedia users, e.g. fr:Catégorie:Utilisateur ke: correct French for "User koine" would be "Koiné pour les utiliseurs" or similar. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 05:55, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the background info. If you agree with the existence of the category, I rest in your hands for adapting whatever is needed and I'll follow. NikoSilver 08:58, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

Double redirects

 * I notice you recently moved Template:vgproj to Template:WikiProject Video games. But you didn't bother to fix the double redirects that created, which broke the transclusion on a large number of pages. I'm not an admin, so I can't fix one causing the majority of the problem; please do it yourself ASAP. Thanks. Anomie⚔ 16:31, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Someone else fixed it. Anomie⚔ 19:42, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Uhh. Meanwhile I copied Template:WikiProject Video games to Template:vgproj as the only practical way to cure these hundreds of double transclusion/redirects. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 19:46, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I did the move because it was requested. When there are that many double redirects, the only practical way is to let the double-redirect bot catch up, as I was advised to a while ago. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 19:46, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your prompt response! In that case, though, the best way to fix it was to just change Template:cvgproj to point to the new location instead of the old one, as was done here (the same had to be done to Template:Cvgproject and Template:Cvg-proj‎, but those weren't protected so I took care of them). If you want, you can undo your change to Template:vgproj now as there are no longer any redirects pointing there, and transclusions follow redirects the same as any other access. BTW, I also just noticed you forgot to move the doc page along with the template, but as it was not protected I've taken care of it. Anomie⚔ 21:37, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
 * http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Whatlinkshere/Template:Cvgproj&limit=5000&from=0 seems to say that more than 5000 pages (for example Talk:Game Boy Advance) transclude Template:Cvgproj. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 21:52, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

 * Hi Anthony. Firstly, thanks for processing the history merge requests I've made over the last few days. Much appreciated. Today, I requested the history merges for the "Play It Again, Sam" pages, but you rejected the second merge, i.e. Play It Again, Sam (record label) needs the history currently at Play It Again Sam. I don't understand the reason you gave for why this merge isn't possible/appropriate. Obviously I'm not an admin so I'm not completely au fait with the dark arts of selective restoration etc. but I'm not seeing that anything particularly arcane was required. I wonder if you'd mind double checking? Thanks. CIreland (talk) 18:02, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

 * I am horrified at what has happened. There were a lot of edits made to the article in the period since user RHB started making edits in his/her own userspace. This began on or about 26 September, and I presume these have vanished. I was the only person to have responded to the request about this move (which was not clear in the first place), and I did not support it. I am not saying that User RHB had any malintent in making the changes that have been made but it may have been done in a way which has lost the edits made by numerous other editors and in a way which makes it hard to review how the article has been transformed. National Health Service is a major article and a single editor should not be allowed to make sweeping changes silently in his own userspace over many months and then have it all put back at a stroke like this. --Tom (talk) 00:20, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I have reversed the histmerge/move. National Health Service is like it was before. User:RHB's edits are in National Health Service/RHB. I have put a note in User talk:RHB. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 06:53, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Info: more discussion in Talk:National Health Service. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 06:53, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

OK thanks for that. I see someone else has also posted a similar comment there to the effect that this was not a good idea. Hopefully we can now consider the elements of RHB's desired changes one by one and we can discuss any major reshaping of the article in the discussion space before the changes take place.--Tom (talk) 12:44, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
