100 000 edit award and time to close AFD
Hi, I am well on my way to reaching the 100 000 edit award. I was just wondering is there any special things that can happen when you reach this award? Also this article here David Oubel AFD has been open for over 7 days and has a strong consensus, so it needs to be closed. Davidgoodheart (talk) 12:17, 10 January 2021 (UTC)

 * Hi, I was wondering after I saw these article here WikiProject Editor Retention/Editor of the Week and WikiProject Editor Retention/Editor of the Week/Hall of Fame I am curious to know if there is anything similar like this where people who have earned the 100,000 edit award can have their names listed on. Davidgoodheart (talk) 05:17, 17 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Hello . Reaching 100,000 edits is great. Some editors see it as just a number, while others appreciate the time and work put into getting there. I see that you have over 63,000 edits - good work. When you reach 100,000 feel free to add this userbox to your user page. Also be aware of these Service awards which acknowledge both number of edits and years editing. These are just for fun because as summed up here List of Wikipedians by number of edits not all edits are equal, but all are appreciated - except for vandalism of course :-) Best regards to you both.

Controversial technical request by User:Brandmeister
Hello, Anthony Appleyard. I've noticed that you renamed Moskovskij Komsomolets to Moskovsky Komsomolets on "technical request" by User:Brandmeister. Unfortunately, it goes against the consensus established on the article's talk page. Take a note that Brandmeister requested a technical move while ignoring Talk:Moskovskij Komsomolets. His reason for the technical move was "WP:RUS, our standard Romanization", which we have already discussed with other users on the talk page.

To Please, refrain from pushing WP:RUS in this manner (via technical requests), it's contrary to the consensus on the article's talk page. I hope for your understanding, especially considering that the Moskovskij Komsomolets newspaper is freely available online: https://www.mk.ru/subscription/ (click on "Подписка на PDF версию") → ЧИТАТЬ/READ button on pressa.ru.--Russian Rocky (talk) 18:50, 25 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I was not aware of that talk page thread when requesting the move, so for me it was uncontroversial. In any case, the current front page logo of MK does not use any English transliteration, while the Moskovsky Komsomolets transliteration is used in reliable sources alongside Moskovskij Komsomolets. So it's questionable whether the newspaper's own transliteration trumps WP:RUS which is de-facto our house style implemented in the majority of Russian names. Brandmeistertalk  20:32, 25 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Have you ever tried to click on the link above? What you have provided as an argument is MK's anniversary edition celebrating the 100th anniversary of Moskovskij Komsomolets. Here's the current front page (25 January 2021 issue): http://pressa.ru/en/reader/#/magazines/mk-moskovskij-komsomolets/issues/11-2021/pages/1/ You can also check the archive to make sure that the newspaper has used this secondary title for years: http://pressa.ru/en/magazines/mk-moskovskij-komsomolets/archive#/.
 * Your reference to "reliable sources" is also invalid, because I've already shown in the previous discussion that Moskovskij Komsomolets is used in reliable sources as well.--Russian Rocky (talk) 21:12, 25 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Well, I will not argue further, as this is the matter of preference rather than factual error. Let it be that way. Brandmeistertalk  09:04, 26 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Ok, just be more careful next time. Wikipedia prefers commonly known names for its articles' titles instead of standardized transliterations based on Wikipedia's rules. For example, the Izvestia newspaper is called "Izvestia" (not "Izvestiya") because it's commonly known under this name; they also collaborated with The New York Times under this name. While the Izvestiya: Mathematics journal is called "Izvestiya" (not "Izvestia") because it's the name of its official English edition.--Russian Rocky (talk) 12:53, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

Tolkien's languages
Anthony, are you the person who wrote about Quenya Grammar back in the '90s, and if so, do you still have time and interest in the area? I've been tidying up the whole area of Tolkien's languages, including Elvish (Quenya, Sindarin). I've sorted out quite a bit of the needed reffing, but an expert eye would be a fine thing, if it were available. Just hoping! All the best, Chiswick Chap (talk) 15:34, 28 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I am the same man. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 15:43, 28 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Oh good. Well, I guess Sindarin is the place that any help would be most immediately appreciated, out of the articles I've mentioned. I feel I have quite a good command of the Tolkien literature, both primary and secondary, with a considerable hole in the linguistics section. But I'm aware you're a busy man.

Hello Anthony, could you take a look at the article on the Bank of Amsterdam. Someone deleted a lot of sentences, but I did not know it was a copyright violation.

Warning
Hi. . Consistency does not preclude the actual topic of the article. And of course, changing the topic of a Wikipedia article (instead of creating a new one) requires a solid consensus somewhere. I for one, do not think it is conductive towards the improvement of the enciclopedia. Create a new article about Borrasca Filomena if you wish (you can translate the Spanish-language one: Borrasca Filomena or recover the edits by "Buttons0603 "" in the page history. This article is about the snowstorm, chaos, damages, et. al (which can be much expanded if you are wondering) in the city of Madrid, specifically, which as it stands it is a topic in itself and may create heavy WP:UNDUE/WP:BALASP issues if somewhat integrated into a general article.--Asqueladd (talk) 00:42, 7 February 2021 (UTC)

Question regarding moves
Hello, I requested several moves a few days ago of Azerbaijani place names to their anglicized versions and it was put on hold as there was a discussion going on about one of them in Talk:Şərur. I wanted to ask, if that RM was successful would that allow me to request moves for other similar city names to be anglicized en masse or do I need to open an RM for each of them separately? Thanks in advance. Cheers. — CuriousGolden (T·C)  12:51, 13 February 2021 (UTC)
 * The Şərur move discussion is not closed yet. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 13:11, 13 February 2021 (UTC)
 * , yes I know. I'm asking for the future if it gets closed successfully (for now, it seems it will), will I still have to request separate RM for each anglicization of city names? — CuriousGolden (T·C)  13:15, 13 February 2021 (UTC)
 * I'm not Anthony, but you can put multiple RMs in one request, so if this one goes through I'd suggest a multi-page RM. Primefac (talk) 13:28, 13 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I'll do that then. — CuriousGolden (T·C)  13:42, 13 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Since the RM was closed successfully, I'm planning on doing multiple RMs together. But do you know which article I should do it in? or should it be any one of the city names I'm changing? Cheers. — Curious</b><b style="color:#c29d25">Golden</b> (T·C) </b> 05:36, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
 * The RM can take place on any of the pages being proposed (ideally the most-watched one?). The bot will take care of placing RM notifications on each of the relevant articles and talk pages. Primefac (talk) 15:01, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
 * I see several technical requests, and moves in the editor's history. It's common for editors from the countries to think that their towns should be anglicized, but as you say en.WP does not do this for any Latin alphabet language, and that is the status quo on Azerbaijani also since the last RMs in 2014. In ictu oculi (talk) 11:01, 14 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Azeri 'a' sounds like French or Italian 'a', like English "ah!" but short. Azeri 'ə' sounds like English short 'a' in 'hat" (not drawled). On English-reading media where you must plead untypability or unfamiliarity, replacing Azeri ə by ä would look reasonable. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 12:32, 14 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Replacing non-anglicized Azeri letters with another language's non-anglicized letters is weird. Also, I'm kind of confused about why this is being discussed. I don't plan on anglicizing names of villages in Azerbaijan since they almost never make an appearance in English-media, so they can keep the Ə (the letter is part of extended Latin, like ä which means articles can have it in their titles without a problem). My plan was to move large cities and towns to their anglicized names, especially when their anglicized name has made a significant appearance in English-media sources (like in Sharur page, where I pointed this out), and this would follow WP:ENGLISH and WP:COMMONNAME. — <b style="color:#c29d25">Curious</b><b style="color:#c29d25">Golden</b> (T·C) </b> 12:39, 14 February 2021 (UTC)
 * The infobox says that Şərur has 6964 inhabitants. In European terms that is a small town, not a city. Sorry, it was only a suggestion.Anthony Appleyard (talk) 12:43, 14 February 2021 (UTC)
 * , I'm having a hard time understanding. It's considered a city/town in South Caucasus, which is not part of Europe. But, how is this relevant to the fact that the city has appeared in its anglicized name much more times in English-language media? A little confused here. — <b style="color:#c29d25">Curious</b><b style="color:#c29d25">Golden</b> (T·C) </b> 12:54, 14 February 2021 (UTC)
 * The spelling "Sharur" is easier for the public media's Anglophone typists. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 12:56, 14 February 2021 (UTC)
 * , yep, which means it's better to use the anglicized name as it's also the WP:COMMONNAME. — <b style="color:#c29d25">Curious</b><b style="color:#c29d25">Golden</b> (T·C) </b> 12:57, 14 February 2021 (UTC)
 * But we in Wikipedia are not restricted to what characters an English typewriter can type. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 13:05, 14 February 2021 (UTC)
 * , I know that. I really feel like we're not understanding each other properly. I'm not moving random articles to anglicized names. I request to move them only if the anglicized version is the WP:COMMONNAME. We use the non-English letters only if there is no established use of the anglicized name per WP:UE. — <b style="color:#c29d25">Curious</b><b style="color:#c29d25">Golden</b> (T·C) </b> 13:12, 14 February 2021 (UTC)
 * I suspect that Azerbaijan chose to use 'ə' here because it can be fancied to look somewhat like a lowercase 'a'. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 16:54, 15 February 2021 (UTC)

(speedily) Undo controversial "uncontroversial technical request" move?
Hello Anthony Appleyard, As mentioned on the talk page of Talk:Storming of the United States Capitol, the speedy "uncontroversial technical request" move you recently performed (from 2021 storming of the United States Capitol to "Storming of the United States Capitol") was not an uncontroversial request in the slightest, and it should be moved back quickly (and soon). The speedy move (which was contested and controversial) should be reverted back to "2021 storming of the United States Capitol". Is there any way you can move this back now?

Query regarding a page

 * regarding Draft:Untitled Pet Sematary prequel and Draft:Pet Sematary prequel, is there anything worth restoring from the deleted pages? Starzoner (talk) 02:43, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Draft:Pet Sematary prequel had significant deleted edits. I history-merged them to Draft:Untitled Pet Sematary prequel. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 13:49, 6 March 2021 (UTC)


 * since you worry so much about requesting to restore deleted editions, why you don't take advantage and ask that editions of Draft:Frankenstein (upcoming film) be restored? You don't do it because it's a draft that you created. Honestly, it does not bother me that the deleted editions are restored since at the end of the day those deleted editions were duly referenced, what if it bothers me is that Starzoner requests it with the intention of continuing to fuel the existing conflict between the two. He requested that the editions be restored after trying in vain to merge my draft with his because an administrator rejected it due to having parallel histories, as he could not achieve it, he came here with the sole intention of having those editions restored knowing that I would come here later to leave my comments about it. Then you are going to say that you are persecuted when the reality is that nobody persecutes you, I only realize what you do when your username appears in my "watchlist", modifying an article or draft that I have created.


 * I'll put this as an example, this is another of yours empty drafts that you create with the intention of being the one who appears as the creator, knowing that it already exists Draft:The 4400 (upcoming TV series) created by just a few minutes before.  here already left you a warning, but that doesn't seem to even matter to you. Instead of continuing to look for conflicts with me, just focus on your articles and if you see that another user already created it before you, stop creating all kinds of conflicts, instead just spend that time on other things.

Draft: Cocaine Bear

 * What is the sense then of creating a draft or requesting a merge of histories if anyone can come to create a draft with a little more content and then redirect the existing one? Here you can see how without any problem I deleted the content of my draft and redirected it to this one when I realized that there was already another one created previously. Please note that the history of the original authors should be preserved as long as they comply with Wikipedia's standards. Because as far as I know my draft, despite having less content, had the correct format and was referenced. Greetings. Bruno Rene Vargas (talk) 17:01, 10 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Sorry; I know what it is like, but this sort of dilemma sometimes arises. The world is big, and in it sometimes two people start articles at the same time independently about the same subject soon after the original news comes out. It happens sometimes. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 17:07, 10 March 2021 (UTC)
 * But here you can see that the user reconsidered and decided that the best thing was to do what I usually do. He even sent me a thank you for making the copy-paste move. Bruno Rene Vargas (talk) 17:13, 10 March 2021 (UTC)


 * But Wikipedia discourages copy-and-paste and cut-and-paste moves, and says that cut-and-paste moves must be re-history-merged if possible. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 17:29, 10 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Well, I just go by what WP:Parallel histories says and even use the "copied" template. You may be right but you yourself say that it is only discouraged, it is not prohibited. Is there any other place where this can be discussed? Because this cannot be reduced only to the decision of one or two people, even more so considering that I followed the steps present in WP: Parallel histories and even so the corresponding process is not being respected.

Hi, Anthony! Would you kindly revert your move of Agro Nocerino Sarnese? There's just been a move request discussion, with the outcome "not moved", so a WP:RM/TR was not appropriate; the rationale given for the move was patently false – if you look at the recent discussion you will see that I listed numerous solid sources that do not employ the hyphen. This is a disruptive editor who has already exhausted the patience of the admins on Italian wp, and is now here to try ours. Regards, Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 18:18, 11 March 2021 (UTC)

Move deleted parallel history of Revelación
The article Revelación currently has some deleted parallel history. You should then do the following:


 * Move "Revelación" (along with its talk page) to "Revelación zxcvbnm" (respectively "Talk:Revelación zxcvbnm").
 * Undelete the deleted edits for Revelación and Talk:Revelación.
 * Move Revelación (along with its talk page) to Revelación (version 2) (respectively Talk:Revelación (version 2)).
 * Move "Revelación zxcvbnm" (along with its talk page) back to "Revelación" (respectively "Talk:Revelación").
 * Finally, make Revelación (version 2) a redirect to Revelación.

 * ❌, just because there was a version that existed before the draft was approved, does not mean we need to restore it and make a mess out of both histories. Primefac (talk) 12:19, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
 * I have moved the deleted edits to (undeleted) Revelación (version 2), and the original undeleted edits are still at Revelación. (Likewise their talk pages). I have not history-merged them. Leaving a long deleted edit history sitting under a long visible (undeleted) edit history is liable to accidents. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 13:49, 14 March 2021 (UTC)

About portal move from "Arts" to "The arts"
Hello. I am trying to understand why the Arts portal was moved from Portal:Arts to Portal:The_arts. Having the portal named "Arts" seems more consistent with the other portal names on the Main page.

"In Awe" move
Hi. You just performed a technical move that I requested, but it didn't quite work out. The point was to move In Awe (disambiguation), a disambiguation page, to In Awe, as that should be the disambiguation page now that there's no primary topic. But now In Awe is still a redirect and In Awe (disambiguation) redirects to that redirect, and the disambiguation page has disappeared. Could you take a look at this?

Hi dear, you have recently edited my draft. I am new a don't know much about Wikipedia. However I have been working on this for two years.

 * (It would have helped if you had told me what "my draft" is; I tracked about and found that it is User:Sultan Abdul sultan/sandbox.) At 17:55, 20 March 2021‎ User:Nathan2055 asked if some admin could history-merge Draft:Government Degree College No. 02 Mardan with User:Sultan Abdul sultan/sandbox; which I could not do, because Draft:Government Degree College No. 02 Mardan had only one edit, and that edit was a redirect. But I found today that the redirect link in Draft:Government Degree College No. 02 Mardan points to Government Degree College No.02 Mardan. User:Sultan Abdul sultan/sandbox and Government Degree College No.02 Mardan seem to be about the same subject, and the two cannot be history-merged with each other, because they are WP:Parallel histories, as if you have been working on both pages at the same time. It would be best to work only on page Government Degree College No.02 Mardan and to abandon page User:Sultan Abdul sultan/sandbox.

Tanzim al- Qaida fi Bilad al-Rafidayn; Tanzim Qaidat al-Jihad fi Bilad al-Rafidayn; Al-Qaeda in Iraq
Saw you finished up the move there earlier, I don't have any problems with the changeover but there do appear to be some leftover odds and ends from the miniature mess there.The history currently at Talk:Al-Qaeda in Iraq seems to be incorrect and needs to be swapped with Talk:Tanzim al- Qaida fi Bilad al-Rafidayn, then the history of Tanzim al- Qaida fi Bilad al-Rafidayn and Tanzim Qaidat al-Jihad fi Bilad al-Rafidayn should be swapped, and that should get the pages and their talk pages lined back up, with all the correct entries in the split to, merged from templates everywhere so all the attribution lines up. Thanks, 83.136.106.119 (talk) 01:03, 31 March 2021 (UTC)

Fabuloso
As I understand it you specialize in history splits and merges. So Fabuloso was a redirect and Michaelm created an article there that was moved to draftspace (now at Draft:Fabuloso) without a redirect. In order to avoid deletion via the backdoor since an WP:RFD would be required in this case, and to ensure the correct creator of the draft gets the notices (for imminent g13 if nothing else), and the ability to g7 delete if so desired, the page history needs to be split with the original portion going back to Fabuloso and the post attempted creation at Draft:Fabuloso, thanks. 2A03:F80:32:194:71:227:81:1 (talk) 17:59, 31 March 2021 (UTC)

 * Fabuloso is a non-notable brand of Spanish cleaner liquid. Most of its edits are redirects. Its latest edit is a redirect to Sech (singer). Anthony Appleyard (talk) 15:22, 3 April 2021 (UTC)
 * I agree, however the draft should be restored, because notability does not apply to draft space, see WP:DMFD, I doubt it will become an article but the creator should get the opportunity to work on it; the redirect to Sech (singer) should likewise be restored (maybe with only the original edit) because it was created several months ago, hence not eligible for WP:R3. If you want to nom it for WP:RFD I may support but it shouldn't be deleted out-of-process via the backdoor. Also feel free to use talkback to save time in the future if you want to, I know how to ctrl+f to find the message directed to me. Cheers, 2A03:F80:32:194:71:227:81:1 (talk) 16:04, 3 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Just to expand a bit. A pre-exisitng redirect to Sech (singer) existed, that is not csd eligible and should only be deleted through rfd. An editor came along and blanked presumably because they wanted it deleted so they could start an article there, I reversed that. They then started an article anyway (reversed once). That was also a mistake since the topic was different from the redirect, they should have created a draft. Someone else saw there mistake and moved it to draft space. However this created the need to split the history since the first edit to the draft needs to come from the author so they get credit and appropriate notifications, likewise the redirects history, since it's on an unrelated topic should remain distinct from the draft. The way to fix this is to split the history leaving that for the topic of the redirect in one spot, and the topic of the draft in the draft. You did this, but undeletion is still needed to finish the process. Cheers, 2A03:F80:32:194:71:227:81:1 (talk) 16:20, 3 April 2021 (UTC)

Histmerge question
Cephea cephea (a) was recently created (mostly empty). Two days later, we get Cephea Cephea Jelly (b) and Cephea cephea Jellyfish (c) (identical to each other). I have merged (b) to (a) and redirected, and tagged (c) for CSD as a duplicate. Now this leaves Cephea Cephea Jelly as a rather odd-looking redirect in mainspace. Question: does it make sense to merge its history to Cephea cephea and delete it? Or is that too much effort to avoid a dumb redirect? Cheers -- Elmidae (talk · contribs) 15:09, 6 April 2021 (UTC)

Moves
Hi, first off, could you move Bushi (professional wrestler) to "Bushi (wrestler)"? I can't do it myself.

Also, could you take a look at two other possible moves?
 * "Zeus (wrestler)" redirects to Tommy Lister Jr., due to the character he played in No Holds Barred, and resulting career in the WWF as part of cross-promotion. However, there is another wrestler that goes by Zeus, so perhaps he would be a better choice?
 * Mitsuhide Hirasawa, worked for New Japan Pro-Wrestling and is best known as Captain New Japan. One of his former ring names was Hideo Saito, which is currently a disambiguation page. There are two Japanese musicians with the same name, but would the one born in 1902 be the primary topic? APM (talk) 17:43, 13 April 2021 (UTC)


 * Repeated with links and section numbers:-
 * (1) Hi, first off, could you move Bushi (professional wrestler) to "Bushi (wrestler)"? I can't do it myself.
 * Also, could you take a look at two other possible moves?


 * (2) "Zeus (wrestler)" redirects to Tommy Lister Jr., due to the character he played in No Holds Barred, and resulting career in the WWF as part of cross-promotion. However, there is another wrestler that goes by Zeus, so perhaps he would be a better choice?

 * (1) ✅.
 * (2) This need for a link is already provided for by a hatlink at the start of page Tommy Lister Jr..
 * (3) Sorry, I know nothing about Japanese wrestling, and I do not know which of these two wrestlers is the better known.
 * Anthony Appleyard (talk) 23:21, 13 April 2021 (UTC)

With the second one, I should've clarified myself better. Mitsuhide Hirasawa is the same person as Captain New Japan, so I wasn't asking for that to be moved. It was actually between two different Japanese musicians (Hideo Saito (musician), Hideo Saitō (musician, born 1958)), which was one of Hirasawa's former ring names. I believe that the musician born in 1902 could be a primary topic (instead of a disambiguation page), with the musician born in 1958 moved to "Hideo Saito (musician, born 1958)" to avoid the use of the macron. APM (talk) 04:48, 14 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Of Hideo Saito (musician) and Hideo Saitō (musician, born 1958), each has a hatlink pointing to the other; that situation looks satisfactory to me. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 10:16, 14 April 2021 (UTC)

Draft question
Hi I added some more info to this draft (Draft:Olalekan Jeyifous) that was rejected a while ago by someone else. If you have a moment can you maybe see if it might meet the criteria for article space now ? Since being rejected last year, the artist won several important art awards, exhibited at the MoMA, has lot of press coverage from New York Times etc and has some other permanent or temporary art work build in cities or places like Coachella etc. He does a lot of public art which is usually commissioned by cities or states not fine art in museums, so not sure if that meets the creativity criteria?

I have submitted my project to the Wikipedia research committee for guidance. You can find the full summary here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Sociotechnical_epistemology:_how_do_we_foster_good_practices_in_collective_knowledge-production%3F

There's more on my user page and you can ask me any questions. We can discuss identification, uses of data and so forth before talking as well. If you're interested, you can contact me via my Talk page, or by emailing me at elena.falco.18@ucl.ac.uk

Thanks! ElenaFalco (talk) 15:27, 5 May 2021 (UTC)
 * This looks like a big job. I will have to look at it later. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 17:49, 5 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Sure. Just for clarification – I would only need an hour of your time. ElenaFalco (talk) 08:57, 6 May 2021 (UTC)


 * Hi Anthony – just following up on my question, above. Any chance you could answer a few questions via email? Thanks! ElenaFalco (talk) 10:25, 20 August 2021 (UTC)
 * It depends on what the questions are. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 11:07, 20 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Ok, that's fair. Give me an email address and I'll send them to you. Then you can decide if you wish to reply or not. How does that sound? ElenaFalco (talk) 11:19, 20 August 2021 (UTC)

Edit history request
Hello, I am wondering if you could undo an edit history restoral. Back in September 2019 you added back edit history at Draft:Blade (upcoming film). This was requested by a sock puppet of a blocked editor, who’s draft had been deleted as a result of their block. I feel all edits on the page prior to July 21, 2019 should be removed from the history. Thank you. Rusted AutoParts 15:57, 5 May 2021 (UTC)

Maor Levi
Hey! I want to create the page Maor Levi, an Israeli association footballer who plays for Maccabi Haifa from the Israeli Premier League, but unfortunately I can't create this page, because many users create this page in the past and time after time, other users (among them you are) delete this page. I would appreciate it if you could open it, so I can create this article. 23shlomomaman23 (talk) 17:21, 5 May 2021 (UTC)
 * See Articles for deletion/Maor levi. It is agreed that that musician and electronics man is non-notable. I have moved those deleted pages to Maor Levi (musician). I have un-protected page Maor Levi. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 17:49, 5 May 2021 (UTC)

Edit history removal request
Hello there, I was wondering if you could remove some edits of a blocked user from two articles. The user Starzoner made some pages in their userspace and repurposed them into drafts for upcoming/potential projects when they were announced or first reported on, likely to claim creation or ownership of them. I am requesting the edits before this one be removed as they don't constitute standard aid in constructing the article, while this edit and the ones before them are of similar unconstructive use. Trailblazer101 (talk) 17:47, 5 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Please: which edits from which pages are to be deleted? Anthony Appleyard (talk) 17:53, 5 May 2021 (UTC)

Norway hyphen plus
So what is so difficult about using the article talk page, where exactly this question was raised. It is clearly not an uncontroversial move. I recognize your good intentions but it seems that your good will has been misdirected. The outcome will probably end up the same but surely it is a lot easier to do it the right order. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 23:35, 8 May 2021 (UTC)

Oromia Region
While mostly named as Oromia Region, why you changed to Oromia region? This denotes the region only inhabited by Oromo people rather than the place name as proper noun usage (as the subject talks about the place in Ethiopia, not to say region that only inhabited by Oromo people.) Discuss to the talk page. The Supermind (talk) 14:24, 9 May 2021 (UTC)
 * I have reverted the move. That request was by User:Dicklyon: see https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Requested_moves/Technical_requests&oldid=1022259630 Anthony Appleyard (talk) 14:38, 9 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks, Anthony.  Let me know if you have sources that differentiate between those uses; I'm not seeing it. Maybe "Oromia Regional State" is the proper name you're thinking of; or "State of Oromia" as the constitution calls it.  I'll start an RM discussion. Dicklyon (talk) 15:33, 9 May 2021 (UTC)

Punjab Sports University
Hi Anthony

I hope you're well. Please could I remind you to have a look at the talk page for prior naming discussions before carrying out "uncontroversial" moves at WP:RM/TR? The move from Punjab Sports University to was specifically rejected by two RM discussions in 2019, so it would certainly need a fresh RM for any change in that status to be effected. I have moved the article back, anyway. Cheers &mdash; Amakuru (talk) 21:14, 13 May 2021 (UTC)
 * I must say I was also surprised with this move. See talk page, and the page is indef semi. --Muhandes (talk) 08:58, 19 May 2021 (UTC)

Hi. I'd like to request Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Missing encyclopedic articles/Wrestling Title Histories be moved to WikiProject Missing encyclopedic articles/Wrestling Title Histories/Promotions as it's in the wrong namespace.

Request
I'd like to move Pinoy pop to P-pop, actually Pinoy pop is actually from P-pop back in 2009. This is not a vandalism thank you P-pop is like a K-pop. Thank you Hyunsukie (talk) 01:43, 26 May 2021 (UTC)


 * Hi, please establish consensus for such a move first. The previous discussion didn't reach that. – NJD-DE (talk) 07:03, 26 May 2021 (UTC)


 * Hi NJD-DE I'm a P-pop fan too we want to move it beacuse P-pop is comes from Pinoy pop and P-pop was the first name before Pinoy pop, I remembered when I'm in 2010, Many K-poper said Philippines have a P-pop and in mid 2010 people said P-pop is for Filipino only. So Nmb Maximumz who created a P-pop page back in 2009 so please let's move it this is the new discussion thank you. Hyunsukie (talk) 07:18, 26 May 2021 (UTC)


 * What is all this about? Sorry, but I know nothing about Philippines pop music and I have never been to the Philippines. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 11:32, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Hi . It's not my intention to abuse your talk page for a discussion on moving that page. Only jumped in as I noticed Hyunsukie's edits on other articles that are indistinguishable from those of other socks, and wanted to make sure that article is not just moved w/o a discussion.
 * Btw: I am clueless about Philippines and their music as well. Never been there, don't think ever heard Pinoy pop song either. – NJD-DE (talk) 17:44, 26 May 2021 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Male menstruation


The article Male menstruation has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "This topic doesn't seem to meet WP:SIGCOV and the article is a bit of a mess, with the only source in the article referencing 'male menstruation' a single time. It's probably best to blow it up and start over if the article topic is later deemed to have significant coverage."

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. — Mikehawk10 (talk) 06:09, 27 May 2021 (UTC)

Typhoon Yagi error
Hi Anthony Appleyard, my apologies for this, as I'm having a hard time following exactly what happened with these page moves, but I think the actual original article titles were that the current Typhoon Yagi should be at Typhoon Yagi (2006) (currently a redirect), following which the current List of storms named Yagi can be at Typhoon Yagi. That is, I think, the original situation, given the current target of the Typhoon Yagi (disambiguation) redirect. Could you take a look to check my thinking on this?

Hi! I am a bit confused why you deleted the article? Did you? I was waiting for a consensus so it can be moved to a proper article, but it seems that you have deleted. Why? The article has numerous original sources. Pampi1010 (talk) 16:52, 14 June 2021 (UTC)
 * It was previously moved, but I requested it to be in a draft page so I can edit it. It has been edited thoroughly and I believe it has the capacity to be in a separate article. Thank you. Pampi1010 (talk) 16:55, 14 June 2021 (UTC)


 * The article is, not deleted, at https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Thomasian_Welcome_Walk&oldid=1028530306 ; it is an old edit of page Thomasian Welcome Walk, whose newest edit is a redirect.

 * At Tabitha Tuders is one edit, which is deleted, and it is a redirect to Disappearance of Tabitha Tuders, which has 6 edits, all deleted. Its last edit's substantial text is "Tabitha Danielle Tuders (born February 15, 1990) was 13 years of age when she disappeared near her home in Nashville, Tennessee in late April 2003., her whereabouts remain unknown, as there have been no verified sightings of Tuders since her disappearance. Tabitha Tuders was last seen at her residence at about 7 a.m. on April 29, 2003. That morning, Tuders left her residence to board a school bus, but never arrived on the bus and never arrived at school. Immediately after Tuders disappeared, the investigation went under way to attempt to determine her whereabouts and locate the teen. On December 18, 2003, Sylvia Browne on the Montel Williams Show told the parents of the missing teen that Tuders was dead. Whether her announcement is true or not remains unknown. On February 14, 2020, the day before Tuders' 30th birthday, detective Steven Jolley released new information suggesting that Tuders may have been abducted. ".

Punch Bowl Inn, Hurst Green

 * You recently moved Punch Bowl Inn, Hurst Green to Punch Bowl Inn, Lancashire, claiming the move to be uncontroversial, and without any apparent discussion. It seems to me a bad move, and certainly not uncontroversial. It makes more sense to refer to a pub by its immediate location rather than the entire county. I would also suggest it doesn't need "Inn" in the title, as that wasn't part of its name. Compare The Punch Bowl, York, although I don't see the need for "The" on that one. Could I ask you please to revert your move for now, and start a proper discussion if you think it should be moved. Thanks. --94.196.72.222 (talk) 22:01, 6 August 2021 (UTC)
 * See the edit comment when I moved it :: 21:01, 6 August 2021‎ Anthony Appleyard moved page Punch Bowl Inn, Hurst Green to Punch Bowl Inn, Lancashire: Requested by User:Crouch, Swale at WP:RM/TR: "The pub is not in Hurst Green but merely near it, county sufficient since there doesn't appear to be any others in Lancashire and could be moved to the base name Punch Bowl Inn if it's the only notable one.".

Page moves
Hi Anthony, I wanted to thank you for the page move, and also wanted to request that you start moving other US Navy ship articles with titles missing the hull code. Would I need to list them RM/TR? Or, they can be found at List of current ships of the United States Navy, can I just leave it with you to go through the list at your own pace? Thanks again -  wolf  23:46, 8 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Some may query about adding the hull code when it is not needed to disambiguate. When did the ruling come in about adding the hull code? Wikipedia is not under USA naval commmand. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 00:00, 9 August 2021 (UTC)
 * No ruling that I know of, nor any effort by the US Navy to assert any authority. My understanding is awhile ago (I'd have to hunt around for dates or diffs), some editors felt the hull code wasn't necessary for some ships and removed it, from some articles. I don't think everyone agrees with that however, some feel all the pages should have the hull code included, for various reasons, including the ones listed in the RM you responded to. Thanks again & Cheers -  wolf  13:11, 9 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Any moves such as these are likely to be reverted per WP:NCSHIPS, though not by me. WT:NCSHIPS is likely the best place to make a case for making hull and pennant numbers mandatory, but I doubt it will ever pass. BilCat (talk) 23:45, 11 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Or rather in Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (ships). Anthony Appleyard (talk) 08:26, 12 August 2021 (UTC)
 * There is a related discussion, with some links, from about 5½ years ago, on an wtships archive page. fyi - wolf  12:15, 12 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Well, as some like to keep telling us lately, such notes are not policy, they are based only on local consensus which doesn't seem to count anymore. In this case, it's an old consensus anyway, (one I know I don't agree with) and consensus can change. I'm watching these moves with interest to see how this plays out, whether a bad decision is finally reversed or if it has to be re-litigated. -  wolf  02:41, 12 August 2021 (UTC)
 * I'm surprised the main antagonist in opposition to using hull numbers hasn't discovered the move by now. But yeah, I'll now be watching this closely also. BilCat (talk) 02:56, 12 August 2021 (UTC)
 * And the USA Navy has so many ships that moving all their Wikipedia articles as described here would likely take quite a time. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 11:04, 12 August 2021 (UTC)
 * That is no problem, my friend, no problem at all. Many USN ship articles already have the hull code in the title. As for the ones that don't, there is no rush. I'm happy to help in any way that I can. Cheers -  wolf  12:15, 12 August 2021 (UTC)

Bomb magazine move
I have undone a move you performed a couple years back, where you had moved Bomb (magazine) to BOMB (magazine), apparently at the request of the publisher. You can see at Talk:Bomb (magazine), the article had been in the place that it was following a discussion with strong consensus, so the request from someone linked to the publisher should have at most been a reason to start a discussion. Additionally, the use of the all-caps BOMB goes against MOS:TMRULES, which calls for us to use the version closest to normal English capitalization standards that is used by independent reliable sources, and "Bomb" is definitely used (example). --Nat Gertler (talk) 00:03, 21 August 2021 (UTC)

The Wikipedia community seems to look down at autobiographical articles. Yes I'm new to writing literary works and I believe I can learn a lot here in Wikipedia.

History move of Ocean world
I see you completed a history move requested at Requests for history merge from Ocean world to a new article Ocean planet. I don't understand why the history at Ocean world, particularly the talk page content, should be moved from the original article to this new spinoff article? The parent page was not notified of this request as far as I am aware and there really should have been a WP:SPLIT discussion before such a major change, though I realize this is not required. As it stands now, the articles seem like a content fork. I can certainly see the potential for having separate articles, but this will require discussion. Cheers, Mdewman6 (talk) 17:47, 6 September 2021 (UTC)
 * I see what the requestor was seeking (still wish it was discussed!). It appears though that there is Talk page content from after 9/2017 that was moved to the split page. It should remain with the parent article. Is this possible to fix? The talk page history should be split off at the same point as the parent article was split off. Thanks, Mdewman6 (talk) 17:53, 6 September 2021 (UTC)


 * I have moved from Talk:Ocean planet to Talk:Ocean world the discussions made after the change in topic from Ocean planet to Ocean world. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 21:10, 6 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks. If you look at the history of the new Ocean planet article, listed there is my page move from Ocean planet to Ocean world. It is confusing that this edit/diff is now located at the page where the move was from. Maybe this is due to a technical limitation, but what I was trying to get at was that it seems like the history split wasn't done to exactly coincide with the version of Ocean world that the requestor wanted split off? Thanks, Mdewman6 (talk) 21:20, 6 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Alright, I guess that is just there because as a result of the move, Ocean planet was the resulting redirect at the time, so it makes sense. I guess my larger point was why couldn't the requestor just create a new article over the redirect at Ocean planet with an edit summary along the lines of "moved content from [permalink|this version] of Ocean world" to provide attribution, along the lines of a traditional split? Perhaps the history split was the proper way, but seems like it creates all sorts of unnecessary confusion now and potentially in the future. Mdewman6 (talk) 21:37, 6 September 2021 (UTC)


 * The article was gradually changed over many edits from an article about ocean planets into an article about ocean worlds, leaving no single exact place for a history-split. Users do that sort of thing sometimes. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 11:18, 7 September 2021 (UTC)

Naming airports
Hello you recently moved Hamid Karzai International Airport to Kabul Airport after a technical request. However I've always seen other airport articles use their official names or shortened official names. We never call the New Delhi Airport, New York City Airport or Brasília Airport. Only the official names or shorter names like "Brasília International Airport".

Now the Taliban have renamed Hamid Karzai International Airport to simply Kabul International Airport. Since it doesn't seem to be a practice to use names like "Kabul Airport" even if it may be a common name, I hope you can move the name to Kabul International Airport. Thank you.

Radio station histmerges
Hey, I saw you declined a histmerge of KTHX-FM with KWEE due to parallel histories. This is rather unfortunate, as this really needs doing. Is it possible to try and combine them? I need to delete KTHX-FM to move another article to that title (in tandem, KUUB became KTHX-FM), and I do not want to erase history (I'd immediately move KUUB but there are so many edits). The user that did this also was responsible for a second C&P call sign move, WMWA (from WVNV). Our field requires some precision in article naming, and users need to learn that moves this complicated REQUIRE a pagemover. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 22:18, 10 October 2021 (UTC)

Can you take a look at Draft:Crazy Love (2022 TV Series) and Crazy Love (2022 TV Series)?

Hi Anthony. I noticed you created a new RM at Talk:Bowser_(character). I created the technical move yesterday after I closed Talk:Bowser_(character), so I don't think we should have a new RM.

Assistance fixing CP move
first created Sikka (1989 film) at 0455 on 20 OCT; that creation was subsequently moved to draft at Draft:Sikka (1989 film). At 1028 they then did a cut-and-paste move back to mainspace. Hence to preserve attribution per WP:CWW a histmerge is needed of the edits prior to that time (the last few edits there including mine can stay deleted). The draft has since been accidentally deleted due to the confusing circumstances, but the history is still there so this shouldn't be too hard. Strictly speaking there should probably be a redirect pointing from the draft to the mainspace article per WP:RDRAFT as there would be had the move been done the proper way, but given how briefly the page was at the title it's probably not that important if we have one. Thanks for your help. Regards, 2A0A:C802:4:1:0:0:0:30 (talk) 18:52, 22 October 2021 (UTC)
 * ❌, Sabarno Moitra was the only editor of the draft to add content (there were two other editors who added AFC templates but made no content changes that were copied), so with only one editor there are no attribution issues. Primefac (talk) 18:56, 22 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Just an aside, there is a current AFD for this article and a previous one at Articles for deletion/Sikka (film). Liz <sup style="font-family: Times New Roman; color: #006400;">Read! Talk! 23:23, 22 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I saw that. Actually the entire thing was a bit confusing, since in mainspace it's a pretty clear g4 until Bbarmadillo starts adding refs; the previously deleted diffs are viewable to those without a current +sysop at mirrors as is just about everything not deleted within an hour . On the other hand the draft is not g4 eligible unless there is evidence I'm not aware of that shows it was created in a bad-faith attempt to evade the deletion policy (see this discussion), though admittedly the creator's pattern of editing is not exactly promising. Not a big deal really, no harm in reassessing notability at afd rather than drv, and a histmerge requires the eventual deletion of the draftspace predecessor, though premature removal does slightly inhibit a deferred determination of whether histmerge is practical, just all a tad bit odd.Getting back to topic, my previous understanding was that while not strictly required, single author histmerges were considered best practice, and a failure to execute them properly could even cause considerable consternation. Doubtless consensus has changed to some degree, so if one of the page watchers would kindly point me to the discussions that establish the most recent consensus on when histmerges in these situations are desirable I'd be appreciative. That way the next time someone yells at me for not having one done I'll at least have some links handy. Regards, 2A0A:C802:4:1:0:0:0:30 (talk) 03:33, 23 October 2021 (UTC)
 * WP:NOATT states that if the re-user is the sole contributor of the text at the other page, attribution is not necessary; that's what I've been going on pretty much since I got the bit. Primefac (talk) 15:04, 23 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Hmm, perhaps the issue is more just a philosophical disagreement then. With some coming down on the side of /  and others coming down on the side of . At some point in the future I may moot this issue at the appropriate forum, but at present I'm in the midst of one of my recurring bouts of malaise and probably won't be editing much or at all for a bit.

Smokey Joe's Cafe
Anthony, this musical revue article was recently moved by someone (who obviously doesn't know anything about common titles of musicals) which should not have been moved in the first place. All the long-running Broadway articles are at their correct places, all but this one now. So I'm asking if you can move Smokey Joe's Cafe: The Songs of Leiber and Stoller back to Smokey Joe's Cafe (it's common title), please. Smokey Joe's Cafe is the primary title, while The Songs of Leiber and Stoller form the sub-title. Many musical shows have sub-titles which are in no way part of the direct primary title. Thanks.

Draft:List of earls in the reign of Richard III of England
There is a draft under this title and there is an older deleted draft under the same title. Can you check if the new draft is related to the old draft or not and if there's any content which would benefit from history merging? --Stefan2 (talk) 12:36, 28 October 2021 (UTC)
 * The short answer is yes, the draft that was deleted (via WP:G13) was later recreated by the same user. I'm not sure resurrecting the history would do any good, though, given that there were a huge number of page moves and secondary G6 deletions as it was moved back and forth between the draft and article spaces. Additionally, the creator of the now-deleted draft is/was the only content editor to either version. Primefac (talk) 13:01, 28 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Hm. It's just confusing if the redirect revisions are restored. Even if the other revisions are useful, there's a possibility that the article ends up deleted again under WP:G13 in half a year. --Stefan2 (talk) 15:00, 28 October 2021 (UTC)

 * User:Primefac or User:Anthony Appleyard - Are there a detailed set of instructions for exactly when I should and should not request history merge? Robert McClenon (talk) 09:55, 16 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Sadly enough, at the moment (as far as I am aware) all we have is a one-sentence explanation at Copying_within_Wikipedia and the (very brief) guide at the HISTMERGE page. If I get an opportunity in the coming weeks I might write a guide page for it. It basically boils down to two questions:
 * Was content copied from one page to a brand-new one without attribution?
 * Did the old page have more than one contributor of content?
 * If both of these is "yes" then a histmerge should likely be performed. If (i.e. in this instance) the content was copied over something else (#1 is "no"), then attribution is required but histmerge is not. If there is only one content editor (e.g. when a draft creator copies their draft into the article space) then a histmerge is not required. There are nuances and further examples to give for each of these points, hence my interest in writing a guide page for it, but those will cover 99% of cases. That being said, just like revdel or oversight requests, I would rather decline a histmerge request than have something get overlooked, but that doesn't necessarily mean we just slap a histmerge on anything and let the admins decline things unnecessarily.

I just wanted to ask why you opened a discussion here rather than reverting the undiscussed move? I would also note that there is already a move discussion ongoing on that page; the move that I was requesting be reverted occurred during that RM. BilledMammal (talk) 10:32, 24 November 2021 (UTC)
 * There seemed to be enough controversy for me to prefer to start a discussion. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 12:07, 24 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately, there was already an ongoing discussion, that the bold move that I was requesting be reverted occurred in the middle off. Plus, I thought that the general way to handle such controversy was to revert the move, and leave the onus on the person wanting to make the move to get consensus for it? BilledMammal (talk) 12:22, 24 November 2021 (UTC)


 * I have reverted as asked. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 13:14, 24 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you for doing that. I thought a bold move in the middle of an RM to a title no one had proposed was out of process, and I'm glad to see it be corrected. Levivich 15:46, 24 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you Anthony, and apologies for this mess I seem to have thrown you in. BilledMammal (talk) 20:30, 24 November 2021 (UTC)
 * How kind of you to notify me that you had a problem with my action before reverting it. Oh wait, you reverted the move without even attempting to discuss it with me.  What's your reason for not asking me first if you thought I did something wrong?  There was a sturdy consensus that "crash" was unworkable.  I did "close" the discussion (to that point) because there was a clear consensus against both "crash" and "incident," but I invited editors to continue discussing because it was not yet clear what the final and best title might be.  Let's not let perfect be the enemy of good.  Please revert your move now and wait for consensus to emerge around a better title (if any). I received numerous thanks for the move and not a single complaint.  The page title was stable for more than a day before your action. Jehochman Talk 16:06, 24 November 2021 (UTC)
 * No, there was absolutely not a "sturdy consensus" that crash was unworkable. In fact, quite the opposite when I closed the previous discussion while citing two other high profile articles with "car crash" in the title. In fact, searching for articles of this type in Wikipedia with "rampage" in its title comes up with nothing. So let's make sure we are being intellectually clear on this. You also moved the page in the middle of a discussion, which I would consider poor faith. I support the move back to "car crash" as we settle things on the talk page. The move back to "car crash" was a proper revert. - Fuzheado &#124; Talk 16:24, 24 November 2021 (UTC)
 * No, please do not. There was never a consensus for a move, and there was already an open move request when this move was made (here), and the edit summary of the move is not one of "a clear consensus" but of somebody offering their own justification for the move, and in the talk page justification offered his own novel reasoning for rampage, which as far as I can tell is the very first time anybody even mentioned rampage on the talk page. We have a process in place for controversial moves, and this one was such a move, and it did not follow that process. We have an RM ongoing, and if Jehochman feels rampage is the correct title he can make the argument there. <small style="border: 1px solid;padding:1px 3px;white-space:nowrap"> nableezy  - 16:13, 24 November 2021 (UTC)
 * I don't care what the title is and am not making a case other than to observe that very few editors like "crash" and many dislike "incident." The editors feel that these terms are not an accurate representation of what happened. How Nableezy feels is just anecdata. Go read the discussion, assess where the consensus is at present, and move the page to what seems like an appropriate title based on the sum of the comments. This is a high traffic page for a current event. Timeliness is important. Wikipedia should not continue to misrepresent what happened because we are tied up in red tape. Jehochman Talk 16:18, 24 November 2021 (UTC)
 * If you "don't care what the title is" then you should not have moved it. Period. Your evaluation of consensus is also very off. What is clear is "rampage" is not a word we use often (or at all) in article titles, so you unilaterally made the situation worse. Please don't do these types of things. - Fuzheado &#124; Talk 16:27, 24 November 2021 (UTC)
 * You should be less polemic. Please look at Category:Vehicular rampage in the United States‎.  "Rampage" appears to be the generic word Wikipedia uses to describe mass casualties from an automobile ramming.  You can also look up the dictionary definition, which does not require intent.  A rampage can also be due to recklessness, panic, etc. But as I said, I don't care what title we settle on, and a whole lot of editors dislike "crash".  I think your reading of consensus is worse than mine. I'd really like to hear why Anthony didn't just ask me if he had concerns.  That point is being buried by everyone else chiming in to my attempt to ask him a serious question. Jehochman Talk 16:34, 24 November 2021 (UTC)
 * The evidence you provide is not helpful to your case - none of the titles in that category have the word "rampage" in them. The only thing that is convincing is that the category should be renamed to be "Vehicular attacks in the United States." What is the most concerning is that you did not honor best practices, so now we have a confused move discussion on that talk page where the discussion of "car crash" and "incident" and "rampage" are all co-mingled, and it is a mess. - Fuzheado &#124; Talk 16:41, 24 November 2021 (UTC)
 * It's pretty ridiculous that you made a bold, totally undiscussed move in the middle of an RM, but you expect others to discuss it with you first before reverting it. Levivich 16:43, 24 November 2021 (UTC)
 * There very much was never a consensus for rampage, making all that hand waving "anecdata". Your comment on the talk page is the very first instance anybody ever offered that as a suggested title. To claim a consensus for it is asinine. Yes, you made the situation worse by unilaterally choosing a name nobody ever supported in the middle of an open move discussion. And then you demand your unilateral move be upheld and a consensus needed to overturn it. <small style="border: 1px solid;padding:1px 3px;white-space:nowrap"> nableezy  - 16:45, 24 November 2021 (UTC)


 * I'm most interested in Anthony's reply. What they rest of you say on his behalf is interesting but not definitive. Please let the editor speak for himself. Jehochman Talk 16:54, 24 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Any admin worth a salt would take several users who have explicitly objected to an out of process admin action they have made and reflect that maybe they should not be doing out of process admin actions anymore instead of dismissing them all as interesting but not definitive and saying they are only interested in what one other particular admin has to say. And yes, given the page was move protected at the time of your move, that was an admin action. <small style="border: 1px solid;padding:1px 3px;white-space:nowrap"> nableezy  - 17:02, 24 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Ooh, ad hominem attacks feel like victory. Where o' where is Anthony? Why don't you give him a chance to reply? Jehochman Talk 17:17, 24 November 2021 (UTC)
 * I fail to see an ad hominem attack there. I based nothing in my criticism here on your person, but on your words and actions. Reconsider those actions maybe? <small style="border: 1px solid;padding:1px 3px;white-space:nowrap"> nableezy  - 17:38, 24 November 2021 (UTC)


 * I was asked to revert 2021 Waukesha Christmas parade car crash to the status quo ante, and as stated above, after some discussion I did so. For what a rampage correctly is, see rampage. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 17:43, 24 November 2021 (UTC)
 * I see that. Any reason you didn't notify me about the discussion so that I could maybe explain my actions? You just took the other editor's word for it without hearing what I had to say. Was it a very urgent situation that you didn't have time to ask me? Jehochman Talk 17:57, 24 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Did you read my explanations here ? Are you aware that I'm also an administrator?  As a general rule its a good idea to discuss when you find yourself in disagreement with another administrator over an action that could be viewed as an administrative action. It's true that I did some interpolating to soften the word choice from "attack" to "rampage".  If that's diagreeable you could tell me why and if you were right, I would probably agree with you.  I don't feel strongly.  Also, see the discussion section posted by . Jehochman Talk 18:05, 24 November 2021 (UTC)


 * Anyway, the page move discussion was closed and resolved to the satisfaction of most editors. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia and my concerns are resolved or moot.  Happy holidays, Jehochman Talk 21:41, 24 November 2021 (UTC)
 * For what it's worth, I requested several times that the user requesting the revert discuss this with you . Happy holidays to you Polyamorph (talk) 10:22, 25 November 2021 (UTC)

Revision Deletion Request
Hello there, I hope you are doing well. I would like to request the deletion of the first five edits (including the page move) of Draft:Untitled Spider-Man: No Way Home sequel as it was originally made as a "claiming space" by the initial editor and those edits have nothing to do with the Spidey film. Thanks. Trailblazer101 (talk) 08:11, 30 November 2021 (UTC)
 * ✅ Anthony Appleyard (talk) 09:27, 30 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Hello again, I noticed another instance of this user's "claiming" with the first five edits at Draft:Ironheart (TV series), which I am requesting to be removed as they mainly don't relate to this, and the revision before the page move just said New film" which doesn't help as it was incorrect and part of the "claiming", so the first six edits in the history can be removed. Thank you, in advance, again for all of your hard work. Trailblazer101 (talk) 06:47, 3 December 2021 (UTC)

Question
Hey there,

since you are the perhaps most experienced page mover I've seen around, I thought I would ask you this question. There was a discussion here, that established consensus to swap Parksosauridae and Thescelosauridae, and then redirect Parksosauridae to Thescelosauridae. The thing is, the consensus-establishing discussion is now on the redirect talk and I’m a bit unhappy with that. I re-checked WP:RMCI, WP:TPG, and some other guidelines on how to handle things like this but I couldn’t find any answers. Is it possible to move or duplicate the discussion and mark this with moved templates? And if not, do you have any alternative suggestions? Colonestarrice (talk) 11:48, 12 December 2021 (UTC)
 * I have put a link in Talk:Thescelosauridae. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 14:09, 12 December 2021 (UTC)

How we will see unregistered users
Hi!

You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.

When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.

Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.

If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter.

We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.

Thank you. /Johan (WMF)

List of New Year's television specials
Hello, Anthony,

I don't really understand much about history merges but something is off with this article you worked on. It shows up in Category:Candidates for speedy deletion as empty articles but there is no tag on the page that can be removed! Looking at the page log, it looks as if the page was tagged CSD A1 before the merge but somehow, the page is still tagged for deletion without there being an actual tag on the page.

Can you see how to fix this? Without a change, it looks like it will just be in this CSD category indefinitely. Thanks for any help you can provide. Liz <sup style="font-family: Times New Roman; color: #006400;">Read! Talk! 00:23, 7 January 2022 (UTC)


 * It also appears to be in Category:Candidates for speedy deletion as importance or significance not asserted. Liz <sup style="font-family: Times New Roman; color: #006400;">Read! Talk! 00:52, 7 January 2022 (UTC)


 * The page is now in that category now. If a page is taken out of a category, sometimes it takes time for the whole of Wikipedia to register the change, due to delays caused by buffering etc. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 08:06, 7 January 2022 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the explanation. I actually was coming to your talk page to ask about this specific page on a completely different matter and then saw I already asked you a question about it! I look at so many pages every day, the new pages push the older pages out of my short-term memory.
 * Okay, today's question was I was looking at deleting a sockpuppets (Resosuvinoin) created pages and this page appeared as a page creation. And the page log shows that they created it this week. But, there are edits from 2014 on the page? Huh? When you history merge two pages, I would think both page creation dates (and any deletions) would show in a page log but, I guess they don't? Or was the 2014 page deleted and you restored it but the restoration doesn't show in the page log? I'm confused but that isn't unprecedented in technical matters. Any way, there are other editors who've contributed to the page so it isn't eligible for CSD G5 but it did leave me with some questions. Thanks.

Proposed deletion of Valve exerciser


The article Valve exerciser has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Was not able to find WP:SIGCOV of this topic such that it would meet WP:GNG."

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 22:26, 10 January 2022 (UTC)

Technical request for move of caproic acid
I see you completed a technical request for moving caproic acid back to hexanoic acid at the request of user Pabsoluterince. I obviously didn't notice the request to contest it (hard for one to do that, since requests for watchlisted pages don't appear until the requests have been completed...), but this should have been sent to RM given that it had just been moved from hexanoic acid less than 2 years ago, so the page name is not uncontroversial per WP:RM (hence the history of the redirect preventing them from moving it themselves).

"Inexorable (film)" and "Incroyable mais vrai"
Hello Anthony, I would like to know if you can restore two articles that were deleted a long time ago. These are two French films whose information I want to expand. The movies articles are Inexorable (film) and Incroyable mais vrai. You can restore them as drafts so that I can expand them from there before requesting to be moved to an article.

I started a discussion for several pages to be moved: But I wasn't looking to start one but simply intended for it to be a technical request.

JackSucksAtLife
In 2019, you deleted a page about a popular youtuber named JackSucksAtLife. Your reason for deleting the article was absurd. As a refresher, your reason was not significant. All I want to know is why. At the time of deletion, Jack had 1 mil+ subscribers on youtube. Now, he has over two million subscribers. It think he was bloody significant in 2019 and more now. AsherDoodle1115 (talk) 21:44, 23 February 2022 (UTC)
 * , regardless of whether the initial A7 was appropriate or not, Articles for deletion/JackSucksAtLife and Articles for deletion/Jack Massey Welsh pretty definitively put the nail in the "notability" coffin. If you really think Jack is a notable individual (and has overcome the issues found in both AFDs), I would encourage you to use the Article wizard to create a draft page, which will be reviewed by experienced editors after submission.

Your 13.2.2020 edits
Dear Anthony, the edits you made to the Pink and White Terraces page on Feb 13, 2020 were a welcome public clarification, i.e. as to where research lay at that time. The page currently ends in 2018 and is thus obsolete. I suggest your editorial hand is again required to bring the page up to date for the 2018-2022 period. For example, since 2018 another dozen research papers (including refereed) have been published by our team alone on this active topic. Regards, Rex BunnCounterrev11 (talk) 23:49, 15 March 2022 (UTC)

Brockhampton, Bringsty ? Comment
Hi, could we look at this one again please. It was changed from Brockhampton, Herefordshire by request to Brockhampton, Bringsty to distinguish it from Brockhampton-by-Ross. In the request it was implied that the "-by-Ross" part was not part of the official name, and I can only find it as such on Anglican sites, so the "-by-Ross" bit should also be removed from there? If so, I think we need to look at both the Brockhamptons again. "Brockhampton, Bringsty" is only relevant to 'Bringsty' in that it is in a particular ward (Bromyard Bringsty), and the Brockhampton Group Parish Council disagrees with the 'Bringsty' bit. I've come across the same anomaly with my latest: Linton (Bringsty). BTW, 'Brockhampton, Bringsty' is not a village, only a civil parish, comprising the Brockhampton Estate, Park, and disparate properties. Here's a couple of suggestions that make it obvious that the bracketed stuff is not part of the official name:
 * Brockhampton (Bromyard Bringsty) / Brockhampton (Old Gore)
 * Brockhampton (near Bromyard) / Brockhampton (near Ross)

I don't think the anomaly can stand, so I appreciate input. Acabashi (talk) 13:28, 20 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Yes the OS shows both places as just "Brockhampton" (both the villages and parishes) but it does look like the one near Ross (the Old Gore one) is sometimes called "Brockhampton-by-Ross" so may qualify as natural disambiguation. We could use titles like Brockhampton, south Herefordshire and Brockhampton, east Herefordshire (lower case compass directions per WP:UKPLACE) or use Brockhampton (near Bringsty) and Brockhampton (near Ross-on-Wye) like Burton (near Neston).  Crouch, Swale  ( talk ) 17:13, 20 April 2022 (UTC)


 * Thanks for getting back. I think the BHO 'Brockhampton by Ross' is just BHO using their own handy form of disambig. Unfortunately 'Bringsty' is not really an administrative entity or place today... it's either 'Bringsty Common' or part of a ward name. Naming conventions have (necessary?) complex guideline on this... confusing for readers looking at a range of similar articles. They do seem to suggest either Name, District, or Name, compass point-shire. As Herefordshire has no districts, I think your Brockhampton, south Herefordshire, and Brockhampton, east Herefordshire is neat and could do the trick, or we could try Brockhampton (near Bromyard) and Brockhampton (near Ross-on-Wye). What do you think... I'm easy either way ? We might do the same thing with the two Lintons. Acabashi (talk) 20:08, 20 April 2022 (UTC)
 * I think lean towards the "near" option as the Ross one isn't very southerly and is quite eastern/central and the Bromyard one is a bit northerly but I'd be fine either way. With the Bromyard one the ward now seems to be Bromyard Bringsty and while UKPLACE does suggest wards ward boundaries change frequently, aren't known by many people and don't generally correspond to natural boundaries.  Crouch, Swale  ( talk ) 20:20, 20 April 2022 (UTC)
 * I'll change them to the "near option". Taking the discussion wider and deeper could throw what is a not a particularly contentious thing into the weeds. If there is any comeback through further discussion, they can always be changed again if necessary. Many thanks for your advice. Acabashi (talk) 08:20, 21 April 2022 (UTC)

Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers
Hi Anthony, I'm here to ask you a favor, if you can please merge the Draft:Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers and Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers histories because I consider it unfair that my work has simply been displaced instead of simply expanded. From already thank you very much, greetings.  Bru no Va rgas  Eñe'ẽ avec moi 18:13, 25 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Bruno, you've been told this time and time again, a histmerge is not a tool to give "first dibs" credit to someone. Now, I will state that it's kind of shitty that you had a perfectly valid draft/article, and it just happened that it got moved to the Draft space instead of the proper article title, but that doesn't mean you can't copy your prose from your draft into the existing article - it's still your work, whether or not you actually created the page or just added to it.
