Meat tenderness histmerge
Hello. The case of is a bit unusual, so I ought to explain. I created that article on March 17, and plan to expand it further (and I'm the sole author at the moment). Afterwards, I noticed that the old article is actually a sub-topic of that, and I'd like to merge it wholesale into meat tenderness. I'm well-versed with Merging procedure, and I can still do the simple Full-content paste merger procedure, but here I saw the occasion to merge the histories as well – last edit at Tenderizing was in August 2015, so the two histories would stack on top of each other nicely. (If I had seen the Tenderizing article earlier, I could have expanded it and moved it to new title myself, but alas I hadn't).

If you think preserving the joined history is not worth the bother, I'm fine with that, so I'll do it the old-fashioned way. No such user (talk) 14:12, 1 April 2016 (UTC)
 * History-merge accompanying text-merge is often asked for, but is not correct procedure. Sorry. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 15:00, 1 April 2016 (UTC)

Pashtun (version 2) listed at Redirects for discussion
An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Pashtun (version 2). Since you had some involvement with the Pashtun (version 2) redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion if you have not already done so. Notecardforfree (talk) 22:56, 2 April 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Dinapur Cantonment

 * Did you check that this article title was correct? The article still uses varying spelling, so the correct spelling still seems to be unknown. --Stefan2 (talk) 20:15, 4 April 2016 (UTC)
 * In the article, the Devanagari form transcribes as "dānāpur kyānţōnmēnţ"; but in the Arabic alphabet form the only vowel sign is a kasra under the initial "d", thus showing "Dināp...". Google Earth shows "Danapur". Geohack shows "Dinapur". Best ask an Indian who lives there or near. I am in England and I have never been to India. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 20:33, 4 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Then why did you close the discussion on the talk page? If the correct spelling is unknown, then it is in my opinion inappropriate to close a move discussion. It is better to leave it open for a while in case someone is able to provide information on the preferred or correct spelling. --Stefan2 (talk) 20:44, 4 April 2016 (UTC)
 * I have started a new discussion at Talk:Dinapur Cantonment. The first move request was to get the talk page to the same name spelling as the article. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 22:03, 4 April 2016 (UTC)
 * The first move request was to achieve two things: the spelling should be correct, and the article and talk page should have matching titles. In your closing comment, you only discussed one of the issues. --Stefan2 (talk) 22:12, 4 April 2016 (UTC)

Page Corey Mills deleted
Hi Anthony, I am not aware of how to use Wikipedia other than search. During a link check, just a moment ago,  I found that you deleted a page titled, Corey Mills, on March 27, 2016 at 2:44pm. This page was about me; a legitimate source of relevant information. Your remarks state the page was deleted due to unambiguous copyright infringement. I checked the links to which you posted and found that both the pages are editable by my staff, and that one, Festivalnet, is a complete copy from Wikipedia. Basically, one of my writers posted this on Festivalnet from Wikipedia. Neither set of information is copyrighted. Please, explain how it is copyright infringement, and why the page was deleted.

If anything needs to be done, we will work with you to take care of the situation.

Dodge Tomahawk article.
I guess you were unaware that the article in question was in a stable state after months of dispute, so why was the version changed? This goes completely against all consensus we worked for months to gain, so please change it back. thanks Spacecowboy420 (talk) 13:40, 5 April 2016 (UTC)
 * I noticed that you replaced the old version of the Dodge Tomahawk article with a draft version made by some other editors.
 * The old version is at Talk:Dodge Tomahawk/old version; I have put in a hatlink to it. I swopped versions because the new version is much longer and seems to have much more information. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 13:55, 5 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately, that was the content that was the subject of extensive discussion, we had a lot of issues with undue weight and too much focus on one particular issue, and there was certainly no consensus to change. Unfortunately, I (and others involved in that discussion) are subject to an interaction ban, so I'm not about to get into a lot of detail, without consulting the admins involved in the interaction ban. What I will say, is that the interaction ban was a good idea, and this move has the potential to derail a lot of work that went into making things peaceful. I have no idea who actually requested the move and I won't ask, because it might prompt me into getting involved into things that are against an ANI resolution. I will however ask you to take a quick look into the background of the move, and take whatever action you think is best. thanks Spacecowboy420 (talk) 14:02, 5 April 2016 (UTC)


 * ✅ I have swopped the pages back. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 14:10, 5 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks mate. You rock. I want to sit back and see if others can decide what to do with next. Spacecowboy420 (talk) 14:17, 5 April 2016 (UTC)


 * Please restore the original article and history while this contested move is being discussed, and until sufficient reason for a move is established. The move is not to rename the article. No reasonable reason has been given for it. It does not solve a technical or editorial issue, and it does remove the entire edit history including previous versions of the article which go back several years. Thank you. --Tsavage (talk) 15:31, 11 April 2016 (UTC)

Move request please
You helpfully moved a page to Social justice warrior after standard process at WP:REQMOVE.

It was unilaterally moved back with no discussion.

The more commonly used term in secondary sources is indeed the downscale version, not the uppercase version, which you had helpfully moved it to, Social justice warrior.

Can you please move it back to Social justice warrior, as per the prior WP:REQMOVE that you closed (wisely requested by ), and protect the redirect to prevent further unilateral page moves done without discussion ?

Thank you very much for your time and your admin actions,

&mdash; Cirt (talk) 16:04, 5 April 2016 (UTC)
 * See also social justice warrior (downscale as not proper noun). Thank you, &mdash; Cirt (talk) 16:14, 5 April 2016 (UTC)

Can you also please merge the old history from here https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Social_justice_warrior_(version_2)&redirect=no into the page at Social justice warrior ? I see there's some relevant history of PROD that I'd like to be able to link in the Article history template on the talk page. Thank you ! &mdash; Cirt (talk) 22:23, 5 April 2016 (UTC)
 * ✅ Anthony Appleyard (talk) 21:20, 5 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Thank you so much ! Can you please protect Social Justice Warrior, so this out-of-process and unilateral move doesn't happen again? Thank you, &mdash; Cirt (talk) 22:11, 5 April 2016 (UTC)
 * ✅ Anthony Appleyard (talk) 22:12, 5 April 2016 (UTC)

 * THANK YOU !!! And now just to re-prot https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_justice_warrior and prot https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Social_Justice_Warrior&redirect=no = those 2 pages prot, and should be all done, sound good? &mdash; Cirt (talk) 22:30, 5 April 2016 (UTC)

 * Thank you so so much. &mdash; Cirt (talk) 23:11, 5 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Odd, now your original page move after you were responding to WP:REQMOVE doesn't show up in the article history, any idea why? &mdash; Cirt (talk) 02:29, 6 April 2016 (UTC)
 * I found that Social justice warrior contained an accumulation of redirect edits (perhaps left by a move war), and, older than those, some older article edits, and that Social Justice Warrior contained the bulk of the article edits, so I history-merged (but not the redirects). Anthony Appleyard (talk) 05:48, 6 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Ah okay, I just wondered I hope people in the future realize that your page move was in response to WP:REQMOVE, hopefully people will realize that. &mdash; Cirt (talk) 11:04, 6 April 2016 (UTC)

Josh Hart

 * Josh Hart (basketball) is the more notable Josh Hart at this point and should be without the disambiguation. Right now the basketball player should be located at just "Josh Hart" with a hatnote directing to the baseball player--Yankees10 21:45, 5 April 2016 (UTC)
 * I have disambiguated all that I could of page Josh Hart's incoming links. 2012 Canadian Rugby Championship season links to a Josh Hart, as a rugby football player; is there a third man called Josh Hart? Anthony Appleyard (talk) 22:04, 5 April 2016 (UTC)
 * I don't know of any third Josh Hart. I just think the basketball player is clearly the most notable as of right now.--Yankees10 22:11, 5 April 2016 (UTC)

Undo move request
Hello Anthony. Could you please undo this move request. It's not "uncotroversial". In fact, has a previous move request in for this, but because of an error in the templating, it was not published to the WP:RM listing. Thus, it absolutely isn't an "uncontroversial" request, but is an out-of-process request in the middle of a concurrent WP:RM. I'm going to try to fix the templating of the RM on my end (this may "reset" the date of publishing...), to get the original request published to WP:RM. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 03:15, 7 April 2016 (UTC) (Correcting: it looks like it was published to WP:RM afterall. But my original undo request still stands. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 03:22, 7 April 2016 (UTC))
 * I don't see how it's a "controversial" move. Using "2001-2014" looks better than "2001-14" and the former style is used in most article titles with a range of years. Also, a "template error" certainly isn't my fault. I filed a move request on the talk page and no one even responded to it, (nevermind contesting it), for a week, so that's why I filed it as uncontroversial. How can it be controversial if no one cares? - the WOLF  child  03:24, 7 April 2016 (UTC)
 * You don't make "uncontroversial move requests" in the middle of a Requested move request because, by definition, it's not "uncontroversial". Beyond that WP:IDONTLIKEIT is not a valid reason to ignore a clear guideline like MOS:DATERANGE – IOW, what you think "looks good" isn't relevant. (Further MOS:BADDATEFORMAT doesn't even apply in this case.) --IJBall (contribs • talk) 03:29, 7 April 2016 (UTC)


 * ✅; please continue this discussion in Talk:War in Afghanistan (2001–14). Anthony Appleyard (talk) 04:56, 7 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Just to be clear, when you made the first move, there was no discussion. But now that there is a discussion, you're moving it back, in the middle of said discussion...? Do I have this right? - the WOLF  child  05:03, 7 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Generally, you're supposed to roll back to the version before the controversial changes were made, and then discuss. That's pretty much the hallmark of WP:BRD. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 12:29, 7 April 2016 (UTC)


 * It seems that again I cannot satisfy both sides at once. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 05:10, 7 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Nope. But isn't that part of the fun of being an admin? - the WOLF  child  05:36, 7 April 2016 (UTC)

Sura move
Hello, I see that a few months ago you moved Sura to Surah without an explanation in the move or on the talk page. Was there a discussion somewhere else on this? Why'd you move it? SnowFire (talk) 16:38, 7 April 2016 (UTC)
 * It was probably obeying a request in Requested moves/Technical requests. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 18:41, 7 April 2016 (UTC)

Thank you for your work on speedy deletions. I recreated a page that you deleted to implement Articles for deletion/Attention whore (2nd nomination) Salvio is a generally sensible editor and I have seen nothing that would override that decision. I completely understand that when processing a big backlog it is easy to miss an objection placed on the talk page of a speedy candidate. If you disagree with my action, let's talk about it.

Big mess on Italian TV
If you wouldn't mind taking a look at these I would really appreciate it:


 * MTV Italy (original)
 * Draft:MTV Italy (original) (I deleted this, should be ok, but mentioning it in case)
 * MTV Italy
 * TV8 (Italy)
 * MTV8

These are the pages involved in a series of ill conceived page moves and cut n paste moves. I know you are quite knowledgeable on fixing such things so I am posting here in hopes you can help get the histories sorted using your history-merge skills. I would try to tackle it myself by I think there's a good chance I would only make things worse. Best, — Diannaa (talk) 20:14, 10 April 2016 (UTC)


 * Draft:MTV Italy (original) :: 2 (deleted) edits, both redirects.
 * MTV Italy (original) :: 2 redirs; editing run from 15:54, 7 March 2016‎ (8,149 bytes) to 19:22, 5 April 2016‎ (8,080 bytes); 3 redirs.
 * MTV Italy :: 1 redir; editing run from 19:15, 5 April 2016‎ (1,229 bytes) to 19:30, 5 April 2016‎ (1,634 bytes); 06:51, 7 April 2016‎ (8,232 bytes) (perhaps cut-and-paste from MTV Italy (original))
 * MTV8 :: editing run from 03:53, 5 June 2006‎ (1,364 bytes) to 17:45, 6 March 2016‎ (10,422 bytes) (page length gradually increasing); 10:37, 7 March 2016‎ redirected page to TV8 (Italy)
 * TV8 (Italy) :: 26 February 2016‎ 3 redirs and a blanking; editing run from 10:35, 7 March 2016 (7,356 bytes) to 12:50, 20 March 2016‎ (2,745 bytes) (page length varies at bulk deletions, I see no sign of c&p)

 * TV8 (Italy) says that on 16 September 2015, MTV Italy was rebranded as MTV8 by Sky Italia, and that on 18 February 2016, Sky changed the channel name into TV8.
 * I do not know if any of the partial deletions from TV8 (Italy) were pasted into other pages.
 * I found no sign of c&p moves except the 2 listed here.
 * MTV Italy (original) and/or MTV Italy cannot be history-merged into MTV8 due to severe WP:Parallel histories.
 * Cross-compare between a late edit of MTV8 and an early edit of TV8 (Italy) shows similarity and probably cut-and-paste move between them.
 * Talk page messages:-

List of male tennis players
Dear Anthony, What can be done about those singles and doubles pages? Rovingrobert (talk) 00:09, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
 * If you mean List of male singles tennis players and List of male doubles tennis players, they have been tagged for someone to text-merge them. See Requested moves/Technical requests, where I have re-inserted the tennis discussion. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 04:57, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
 * What does text merging mean, good sir? Rovingrobert (talk) 11:31, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Text-merging pages X and Y would mean combining their text to make a single page Z, removing any duplicated or otherwise unnecessary matter, and arranging everything that it together makes one sensible well-arranged article. In this case it would mean combining the two tables List of male singles tennis players and List of male doubles tennis players into one table in (say) List of male tennis players; each line might contain a symbol S or D or B to mean that that player plays "singles" or "doubles" or "both". Anthony Appleyard (talk) 11:46, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Sounds reasonable, but the separate articles never really took off anyway. What I mean by that is that the singles article still has all but a few of the doubles players, and vice-versa. Rovingrobert (talk) 11:54, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
 * For an example of text-merging, see the start of the history of page Diesel exhaust, which I made by text-merging pages Diesel particulate matter and Diesel exhaust air contaminants and the section Exhaust gas. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 12:16, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Okay, that's interesting. My only quibble would be that the singles and doubles articles started off as one, and haven't really changed since the split. Rovingrobert (talk) 12:52, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
 * I tried to start text-merging these 2 pages, but it would be a long job, including checking for where the same tennis player occurs in both pages with different information in each page. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 12:41, 12 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Yeah, maybe it would be better to just delete the doubles page and restore the singles to an earlier edit. Then delete the redirect and move the singles to that page. Just a thought. Rovingrobert (talk) 01:06, 13 April 2016 (UTC)
 * See Talk:List of male singles tennis players. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 10:28, 13 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the tip. Shouldn't that discussion go at the top of the talk page, though? I've seen that it does on other similar pages. Rovingrobert (talk) 11:21, 13 April 2016 (UTC)

Hi, you closed the move discussion at Watt/I-80 West with the reason "page moved, discussion has run 66 days", which is true but not really relevant.

Andrés Pérez (footballer, born 1988)

 * You have recently moved this article as "uncontroversial" - even though if you check the page history I have previously reverted such a move with the summary "undiscussed, no explanation, seems uneccessary." Please can you undo the move, we need a full RM. GiantSnowman 07:09, 19 April 2016 (UTC)
 * I realise what you say, but the move was from Andrés Pérez (soccer) to Andrés Pérez (footballer, born 1988), and "Andrés Pérez (soccer)" is ambiguous and could also mean Andrés Pérez (footballer, born 1980), who according to his Wikipedia article also played association football, which is another name for soccer. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 10:28, 19 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Actually it's standard to have (soccer) for US players and (footballer) for non-US players. GiantSnowman 19:39, 19 April 2016 (UTC)
 * That's true, although we don't usually use the WP:ENGVAR (soccer) vs (footballer) as the only way to disambiguate between two players. The best title for this article might be Andrés Pérez (soccer, born 1988). If that seems fine to both and, we can move it there... otherwise a full RM seems in order.

Hi Anthony! could you move this to mainspace over the current redirect at Etruscan architecture. I've just realized it does have an earlier history - for some reason (complete idiocy?) it was only made a redirect in 2009.

 * Hi. Why did you delete my article for A7?

Talk:Harriet Tubman
Automatic archiving was recently instituted at this page but the editor who wrote the code put in an errant counter (setting it to 9 when I think it should have been set to maybe 2?). Anyway, so now there is an Archive 1 and an Archive 9 and (of course) no linkage on the main talk page to show that a second archive page has been instituted since9 does't normally come after "1"... I know content now has to be moved around/deleted/renamed/etc... Could you please take a look at it? This is the edit history. I posted on the talk page about this at Talk:Harriet Tubman so if you do get around to fixing it, it would be great if you posted an update there.

1985 Rapel Lake earthquake
Hi! I suggest you to move again the article "1985 Pichilemu earthquake" to "1985 Rapel Lake earthquake", according to the discussion given some time ago in the article, that says: "If you google "1985 Lake Rapel earthquake", the search engine gives you about 46,000,000 results and "1985 Pichilemu earthquake" gives only 56,400 results. As WP:COMMONNAME applies here, the most used name is the Rapel Lake and not Pichilemu." And also, I'm suspecting that the IP addrees that suggest you to move back the article was an IP address related to User:Diego Grez-Cañete, who was blocked some time ago because he made disruptive editing and had non-civic attitude, and who was warned about their attitude trying to capitalize or given more relevance than the real to Pichilemu (the city where he come from), even without sources that could validate their relevance or their articles.

Surtees TS14
Hello, I notice you sorted out a muddled situation at the above page and its associated draft, talk-pages etc. This was brought about by the actions of a long-term disruptive IP editor of F1 projects, who after almost a year and over 120 different IP addresses has finally created an account. He has absolutely no concept of Wiki guidelines or policies and the F1 project have been battling with his sub-standard work for some time. In this instance the draft was rejected as not adequately demonstrating notability, whereupon the former IP editor created an account and seemingly copied & pasted the content to mainspace. Thus rather 'gaming' the system in the view of F1 project members. We were wondering if this is an acceptable procedure? Another editor I mentioned it to, suggested bringing it up at WT:WPAFC? Thanks. Regards, Eagleash (talk) 07:23, 20 May 2016 (UTC)

Live! with Kelly
Hi, Anthony. I've seen and appreciated your work for a long time, so I hope you don't mind my asking why the exclamation point in the show's title. I can't find one anywhere at http://livekelly.com/#, and in fact that official site seems to prefer no exclamation point, as in front-page text treatments for: "LIVE's Best Halloween show Ever...Seriously", "LIVE Video Archive" and "TOP LIVE VIDEOS". I think the title with the apostrophe-s is telling, since it would have been "LIVE!'s" if the exclamation point were there. And I'm not sure given the talk-page discussion on this that "non-controversial move" was the correct place for this. Can we discuss? With thanks, --Tenebrae (talk) 22:17, 26 May 2016 (UTC)

Need your help...
Hi Anthony – I need your help again: just moved The Lying Game (TV series) to The Lying Game despite a recent WP:RM discussion against making that very move, at least at this time (as well as a separate current RM discussion at The Lying Game (disambiguation)). Could you please revert SSTflyer's unprompted moves? Thanks. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 02:26, 28 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Wrong. The Lying Game has been the stable title for the TV series, it should stay there unless there is consensus against it. SST flyer 02:28, 28 May 2016 (UTC)
 * I was afraid you were going to dig your heals in on this. You are ignoring a WP:RM discussion result. There is simply no excuse for this. If you keep on this path, I'm going to have no choice but to go to WP:PERM and ask that they take a look at revoking your Page mover rights. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 02:30, 28 May 2016 (UTC)
 * The RM was closed as no consensus. In these cases, where there is no consensus what the title of an article should be, the article is moved back to its long-term stable title. Wayback Machine archives show that The Lying Game has been the title for the TV series in 2011, 2014, 2015, and as recently as April 2016. Restoring the article to where it was located for 5 years is correct here. SST flyer 02:38, 28 May 2016 (UTC)
 * As a Page mover, you should not be making moves like this without consensus. I am the first to acknowledge that the IP who did those recent page moves involving The Lying Game articles made things a confusing mess. But Anthony tried to restore some order to this mess, and it should put no one out to wait a month to let the dust settle before performing another WP:RM. I am really disappointed with you on this. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 02:43, 28 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Reverting an undiscussed move is specifically listed as uncontroversial at WP:RMT. There has never been any consensus that the TV series should be moved from The Lying Game to The Lying Game (TV series). When there is no consensus that The Lying Game (TV series) as a title is appropriate, moving back to the long-term stable title is appropriate, and has been done by numerous admins.

A subsequent RM discussion was closed to revert this move, so I moved it back today (the redirect was nominated for speedy deletion, which is where I came across this). The move from the caps was not technical due to two issues: 1. There has been a number of RM discussions, and a 2013 discussion gained consensus for the caps; 2. The user who asked for the move is subject to a restriction to not move any pages without gaining consensus, following a 2013 unblock. I have reblocked them for repeatedly breaching that restriction.

K.N.Toosi University of Technology

 * Could you check this article? It seems that it was moved by copying and pasting from K. N. Toosi University of Technology in 2011, so history merging seems to be necessary. It also seems that it should be moved back to K. N. Toosi University of Technology as there are too few spaces in the current page title. --Stefan2 (talk) 15:17, 1 June 2016 (UTC)

False user rights

 * Hello Anthony Appleyard, newly registered user User:Husseinajamii placed user rights such as authopatrolled and reviewer rights template/icons on user space. The user doesn't have any rights, but it's been a long time since I handled something like this. Do I boldly remove it or warn. Also, the user has placed his/her social networks such as Facebook ,Twitter etc. Your advice? Thanks — JudeccaXIII (talk) 03:51, 4 June 2016 (UTC)
 * If he claims and displays special users rights which he does not have, then he is misleading other users; best report it in Administrators' noticeboard.
 * Looking in User talk:JudeccaXIII's history shows that you have been deleting your old user messages; it is more usual to copy them into a user talk archive page e.g. User talk:JudeccaXIII/Archive 1. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 04:33, 4 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks, and I did have archives, had them deleted because editors would use my past mistakes as an advantage in disputes, it was discouraging. — JudeccaXIII (talk) 04:42, 4 June 2016 (UTC)

Haitian presidential election, 2015–16
Hi I want to rename "Haitian presidential election, 2015-16" in "Haitian presidential election, 2015" for the second round to be held in 2016 was canceled and only the first round of October 2015 was held. Meanwhile a new presidential election will be held. --Panam2014 (talk) 16:04, 9 June 2016 (UTC)

Aït Bouaddou

 * Hi Anthony Appleyard, some context into a requested history merge. KAIG007 split off the original Aït Bouadou into Aït Bouaddou, which I found today, and redirected Aït Bouadou to the new article. I believe that the version with 2 ds is correct, but the user should not have copy pasted into a new article. Let me know if I had a misstep somewhere. Thanks. — Andy W.

 * Should the first edit (i.e. Special:Permalink/668055819) at still be there or should it go to Robert Tyler (Confederate Register of the Treasury) as well. — Godsy (TALK CONT ) 06:09, 10 June 2016 (UTC)

Anthony, thanks for all your great work on technicals. You and Philg88 don't usually collide like you just did; I hope you'll find a way to work it out and/or avoid it in the future. Dicklyon (talk) 04:49, 13 June 2016 (UTC)

Undelete Cabinet Document Management Solutions
A page with this title has previously been deleted. If you are creating a new page with different content, please continue.

Anthony, could you undelete the Cabinet Document Management Solution page? I have worked to edit the copy to remove promotional content. I would like to recreate a similar page. Lauren Szoszorek (talk) 18:37, 13 June 2016 (UTC)


 * Page Cabinet Document Management Solutions looks to me like routine advertisement promoting a routine business advisory firm. Wikipedia is not a trade directory. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 22:29, 13 June 2016 (UTC)

Can of worms
Sorry about the page move request for SIndikato. At least it let someone familiar with the sock get involved. And for some reason I never got the ping from the talk page /shrug.-- &#9790;Loriendrew&#9789;  &#9743;(ring-ring)  14:10, 19 June 2016 (UTC)

 * I at first gave him the benefit of the doubt as if he was a legitimate user. Now it seems that he is not. Sorry. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 12:42, 20 June 2016 (UTC)
 * No problem. This is one of the long term socking cases I have on my radar. I sometimes make the mistake of assuming that all admins have all abuse cases on their radars -- clearly that's impossible. You might want to add this one to your watchlist though -- it's been going on for ages. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 13:03, 20 June 2016 (UTC)

Copy-paste issue?

 * On Special:Diff/724872009 and Special:Diff/724871905, I don't know if I should just copy the WikiProject banners back to the article talk (currently at Talk:Enrique Alfaro Rojas), or if some merge is needed. — Andy W. ( talk  · ctb) 00:40, 21 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Copy the banners across. The 2 pages are very different at what some might call a cut-and-paste point, and they are only talk pages, not articles. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 04:52, 21 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Unrelated issue: Special:Diff/725735173 looks like a copy-paste job from Hicham Bensassi, and made a mess by also nominating the original page here. — Andy W. ( talk  · ctb) 07:28, 21 June 2016 (UTC)

Thanks!
I think everything is cleaned up for the myriad pages dealing with Catholicism and Freemasonry. I'm hoping we end up just moving it back to the most neutral title, but we shall see. The history merge needed to be done regardless of any move discussion, so at least that won't get any worse. MSJapan (talk) 04:59, 23 June 2016 (UTC)

I should have looked at the Daredevil (Marvel Comics) talk page. Thanks for the help. With regards, --Tenebrae (talk) 17:00, 27 June 2016 (UTC)

Dhruv Raj Sharma‎

 * Hi! As far as I know, Dhruv Raj Sharma‎ is a Nepali/Hindi male name and it's clearly inappropriate redirecting it to Zindagi Abhi Baaki Hai Mere Ghost.  - INVISIBLE-Talk! 05:01, 29 June 2016 (UTC)
 * He acted in Zindagi Abhi Baaki Hai Mere Ghost. If you have substantial information about Dhruv Raj Sharma, then change page Dhruv Raj Sharma from a redirect into an article about him. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 05:06, 29 June 2016 (UTC)

Histmerge on Deep K Patel
Hello. Thanks for doing the histmerge on Deep K Patel‎, speedying it was a mistake on my part. Now that it's done, could you delete it? The article has been repeatedly recreated at Deep K. Patel and Deep Patel by a persistent sockfarm (Sockpuppet investigations/Editor2626744), so leaving the redirect is just inviting it to be recreated again. Also, as far as I know there is no connection between Demazière and Deep K Patel, it was just a (bad) attempt to avoid scrutiny. As a redirect is serves no purpose. Thanks. Grayfell (talk) 05:15, 29 June 2016 (UTC)

Portal:Anime and manga

 * Hi, saw the RMT request for the portal. Is Portal:Anime and manga supposed to be a redirect to itself? — Andy W. ( talk  · ctb) 21:09, 30 June 2016 (UTC)
 * The page Portal:Anime and manga currently redirects to itself. Can you please undelete the deleted revisions of that page and revert it to the last non-redirect revision? GeoffreyT2000 (talk) 21:13, 30 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Now ✅. I was asked to move Portal:Anime and Manga to Portal:Anime and manga, and it had over 500 !!!!! subpages. Wikipedia would move only 100 of the subpages at a time, so I had to call the move 6 times to drag all the subpages across with it in batches of 100. I have corrected the resulting redirect-to-itself. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 21:18, 30 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Wow, that's a big move. I can't find the documentation for moving 100+ subpages anywhere, but I heard that stewards are able to perform these moves in huge batches with some other permission. Thanks also for the Southern Cross Nine merge too (I think I rv'd it to a clean revision) — Andy W. ( talk  · ctb) 21:24, 30 June 2016 (UTC)
