Closing RfA's
Can you please tell me what you do to close the RfA's. Do you have to manually put the closing box around it or is there a template for that. I would assume it's a template and I can't seem to find out which one it is. Could you help me?— cyberpower ( Talk to Me )( Contributions ) 17:42, 1 January 2012 (UTC)
 * You can find the instructions and templates for closing RFA's at Bureaucrats. (Note, however that non-bureaucrats should only close clearly unsuccessful requests.) Regards, Armbrust, B.Ed. Let's talk about about my edits? 17:49, 1 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Thank you.— cyberpower ( Talk to Me )( Contributions ) 19:34, 1 January 2012 (UTC)

Kolkata S. Krishnamoorthy AfD
I was really confused there for a second until I realized we were both trying to close the same AfD at more or less the same time. It's a good thing we both had the same conclusion on the outcome.-- Kubigula (talk) 17:12, 2 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Yeah. I didn't notice you already closed it, until I reloaded the page. Armbrust, B.Ed. Let's talk about about my edits? 17:13, 2 January 2012 (UTC)

inre Jelenin svet AfD
I love a challenge. I found enough significant coverage of Jelena's World in reliable sources Politika, Hürriyet and others, to improve the article. Of course, what I immediately had to address was that the plot in the nominated version was a copyvio of the synopsis on the production website. There was easily enough to fix it on up. I gladly invite you to revisit Jelenin svet to see what was you first nominated has become significantly better. Cheers.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 01:13, 3 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Responded at the AFD nomination page. Armbrust, B.Ed. Let's talk about my edits? 09:21, 3 January 2012 (UTC)
 * When looking at the original, I could understand the nomination... specially as coverage under its Serbian title was so limited. Thanks for looking back in.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 20:19, 3 January 2012 (UTC)

AfD
Hi. When redirecting schools as you  did at , please remember to  include the  template. It populates an important category  that  is used for statistical  purposes. Thanks. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 04:36, 3 January 2012 (UTC)

I really need your help
Hi Armbrust, I'm sure your a very nice guy and you helped me with nomination of transfer to the Wikimedia commons of the image File:Accra Skyline - Wide view.jpg which stopped it from being deleted, thank you so much for that because I don't know how to licence my uploaded images that well.

I would be really really grateful if you can help me licence the following five images that you have been nominated for deletion because their really important images that would be really important to their Wikipedia articles:


 * 1. File:Offshore platform on-route to final position, Jubilee field.jpg - This image I uploaded is used in the articles Ghana and Oil reserves in Ghana as Oil is one of Ghana's major economic resources and Ghana has the 25th b biggest proven oil reserves in the world.


 * 2. File:Aerial view of Takoradi Port.jpg - This image I uploaded is used in the articles Ghana and Sekondi-Takoradi because it is what the City of Sekondi-Takoradi is known for and it is the City's main source of income.


 * 3. File:Sekondi-Takoradi.jpg - This image I uploaded is mine and is used in the articles Template:Largest cities of Ghana and Sekondi-Takoradi as it shows the main Central Business District and a aerial view of how the City looks like today in 2012.


 * 4. File:Tamale City.jpg - This image I uploaded is also mine which has been uploaded to blog site about touring in Tamale, Ghana and is used in the articles Template:Largest cities of Ghana and Tamale, Ghana as it shows the main Central Business District and a view of how the City looks like today in 2012.


 * 5. File:President-CPC General Secretary of PRC Hu Jintao and President of Ghana John Atta Mills.jpg - This image I uploaded is used in the articles Ghana and People's Republic of China–Ghana relations with Ghana's President marking the 50th anniversary which is one time event, so their is no other image that can replace it. And China being Ghana's second biggest trader after Nigeria.

I would be really grateful Armbrust if you can help with the licencing of those five images to stop them from being deleted, thank you so much Armbrust. Regards - MarkMysoe (talk) 14:32, 3 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Sorry, but I can't help you. These files claim non-free use but clearly fail non-free content criterias #1 (replace-ability) and #8 (contextual signigicant).

Reverts on Steve Davis
Hey Armbrust, please attempt to engage the anon IP on the talk page rather than continually reverting. I don't want to call WP:3RR on anyone, so I'd appreciate it if you could discuss things. I'll revert the Davis page and protect it if I have to. What do you think? The Rambling Man (talk) 17:11, 3 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Good idea. Armbrust, B.Ed. Let's talk <sub style="color:#008000;">about my edits? 17:11, 3 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Cool. Try to be patient with the IP, perhaps he/she is unaware of our policies/guidelines etc...  The Rambling Man (talk) 17:17, 3 January 2012 (UTC)
 * The problem is, that s/he thinks s/he knows them. The IP even accused me of owning the article, because I removed original research and irrelevant information. Armbrust, B.Ed. <sup style="color:#E3A857;">Let's talk <sub style="color:#008000;">about my edits? 17:22, 3 January 2012 (UTC)
 * That's fine, we just have to have an open discussion, although the IP has just been blocked... not helpful! The Rambling Man (talk) 17:23, 3 January 2012 (UTC)

Just a head's up... I earlier submitted a WP:3RR report on the IP in question regarding this page. Given that you had a fair number of reverts in there too, you may want to reply on that thread. --Tgeairn (talk) 17:37, 3 January 2012 (UTC)

Oops!
Hi Armbrust. Thanks for doing all the closures. It looks as if I've pasted a lot  of my  reminders here. I won't  place any  more, but please remember the 'R' template -  it  will  save me a lot  of work;) Cheers, --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 09:04, 4 January 2012 (UTC)

Relistings
This relates to Articles for deletion/Michael Brodkorb and Articles for deletion/Nick D'Agostino. Why is it the fact that these articles are BLPs a reason to relist them a second time? Nobody has recommended keeping either article after two weeks. I don't see how extending the discussion again facilitates the principle that "Material about living persons added to any Wikipedia page must be written with the greatest care and attention to verifiability, neutrality, and avoiding original research." --Metropolitan90 (talk) 01:55, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
 * I have relisted them to have a more clear consensus on the deletion of these BLPs. If you disagree, than you can go ahead and delete the articles. Armbrust, B.Ed. <sup style="color:#E3A857;">Let's talk <sub style="color:#008000;">about my edits? 08:16, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

Your decline of file upload
Hi Armbrust, as you invite to talk about your edits: I would like to know why you declined my request for a file upload already on 2 January. Your comment on 29 December read: "Comment: Place request on hold until draft isn't moved to article space. If this doesn't happen within seven days, than this request will be declined. Armbrust, B.Ed. Let's talk aboutabout my edits? 14:21, 29 December 2011 (UTC)." Today is the end of that 7-day-period. I had waited for comments from two friends on my very first article - just to find that you already moved on. If it is still possible to reconsider my request, please note that I just requested AfC submission of my article.

Katharine Hepburn
Based on your comments, I have split this into template:Katharine Hepburn and template:Katharine Hepburn filmography. If there is policy against actor filmography templates, per MOS:FILM, then I suppose the second one should be deleted? Frietjes (talk) 22:43, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
 * As MOS:FILM says "WikiProject consensus is against including actor templates since not all actors have substantial appearances in all their films and since multiple actors in a film would overpopulate the bottom of a film article with actor templates regardless of role prominence." From the consensus summary of filmography navbox templates it looks like will happen sooner or later. Armbrust, B.Ed. <sup style="color:#E3A857;">Let's talk <sub style="color:#008000;">about my edits? 22:54, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

JamVM NAC
Regarding this NAC: given the obvious canvassing on this AfD, I don't really think an NAC was appropriate. "Only one person advocated deletion" is not a valid closure either. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) (talk) 15:59, 6 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Undone NAC, feel free to close it if you want. Armbrust, B.Ed. <sup style="color:#E3A857;">Let's talk <sub style="color:#008000;">about my edits? 16:02, 6 January 2012 (UTC)

Moving Wait list to Wait list (college admissions)
As per discussion, I'm trying to move the article to a more specific name, that is, "Wait list (college admissions)", so the old article "Wait list" is no longer needed.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 13:38, 7 January 2012 (UTC)

 * If you'd like me to go ahead and try again to move the article, using the right procedure, let me know. I still think the title should be "Wait list (college admissions)" since it really describes what the article is about.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 14:32, 7 January 2012 (UTC)

Saint Rose School
G'day Armbrust. When you closed and redirected the AfD regarding Saint Rose School, you didn't move through any information on the school to the locality. The result is that someone who could be searching for Saint Rose School gets redirected to an article that, apparently, has nothing to do with what they searched for (i.e., WP:SURPRISE!).

I've added the schools that I can see from Google Maps, but I have no local knowledge, do not know how enrolment catchment works in the US, so if you could please check my work at Girard, Ohio, I'd appreciate it. <span style="font: Tahoma, Arial, San-Serif; font-size: 8pt;">&tilde;danjel [ talk | contribs ] 15:56, 8 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Sorry, but absolutely don't know anything about this. I think the talk page of WikiProject Schools would be the best place to ask this question. Regards, Armbrust, B.Ed. <sup style="color:#E3A857;">Let's talk <sub style="color:#008000;">about my edits? 16:01, 8 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Yep, I'm a member of that project. There's been an enormous blitz on AfD'ing school articles the last couple of weeks by a couple of users who seem to be intent on creating chaos.
 * You closed 3 of those AfD's (that I've found so far) that really should have been redirected to an education section of the target article (per precedent, WP:OUTCOMES). I'm not really interested in whether or not the article is kept, but it is important to ensure that people aren't surprised by random search results, so I'm trying to sort through the mess that this has caused.
 * I'm just letting you know so that, in future, if you choose to close a school related AfD, then please create an education section to which the redirect should refer. More information, I suppose at WT:WPSCH#Secondary Concern: Redirects/Merges won't be fulfilled properly
 * I've also caught New Windsor, New York and Roosevelt, Utah as closed and redirected by you. Working on them now. Cheers <span style="font: Tahoma, Arial, San-Serif; font-size: 8pt;">&tilde;danjel [ talk | contribs ] 16:09, 8 January 2012 (UTC)

Articles for deletion/Elana Amsterdam
While I concede the keeps clearly outnumbered the deletes, I don't believe this fit the criteria for a non-admin close, i.e., "absent any contentious debate among participants", especially right after my own remarks questioning the sources. I think you should have left this for an admin and recommend that you undo your close. Msnicki (talk) 16:49, 9 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Sorry, but the discussion ended in a clear consensus to keep the article. I won't undo the close. Armbrust, B.Ed. <sup style="color:#E3A857;">Let's talk <sub style="color:#008000;">about my edits? 17:40, 9 January 2012 (UTC)
 * An editor has asked for a deletion review of Elana Amsterdam. Because you closed the deletion discussion for this page, speedily deleted it, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the deletion review. Msnicki (talk) 18:08, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

AfD closure
Hi there, Armbrust. I noticed your non-admin closure of Articles for deletion/Kim Sa-rang (singer) no consensus. Non-admin closures should only really be done in cases of clear consensus where the closer has the technical ability to perform the outcome (so keep, redirect and most merges). No consensus closures by non-admins should generally be avoided. Can I recommend that you undo your closure of that discussion and allow an admin to deal with it (they might close it as non-consensus or choose to relist it)? Thanks. ItsZippy (talk • contributions) 20:27, 9 January 2012 (UTC)
 * I don't think it's needed there. The discussion was already relisted twice, but no further discussion occurred, (otherwise I wouldn't closed it as no consensus). Also a third relist is highly unlikely, and if someone disagrees, he can speedily renominate the article, because there was no consensus. Armbrust, B.Ed. <sup style="color:#E3A857;">Let's talk <sub style="color:#008000;">about my edits? 20:37, 9 January 2012 (UTC)
 * I use to make such "no consensus" closes as a non-admin where the close was based on lack of participation per WP:NPASR so IMHO this was an appropriate NAC. However, in the future please add the phrase "with leave to speedy renominate" (or a similar phrase) in such cases. --Ron Ritzman (talk) 15:00, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

"'Click 'edit' on the article page and copy the entire Old AfD multi template that is inside the AfD tag, then paste that entire template onto the article's talk page (normally below the WikiProject tags, if applicable), and then save using an edit summary such as 'Adding '.'"

Just a friendly notification. Happy editing! Northamerica1000 (talk) 07:41, 12 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Well the placement of this tag isn't my choice, as I don't add it manually, but with the help of a script of Mr.Z-man. As many admins use this script, maybe the instruction needs to changed. (And this isn't a guideline, because it isn't marked as such.) Armbrust, B.Ed. <sup style="color:#E3A857;">Let's talk <sub style="color:#008000;">about my edits? 07:49, 12 January 2012 (UTC)
 * I wasn't aware of the Mr.Z-man/closeAFD tool. Yes, it seems prudent to notify the author of the script about this matter. The rationale is that the script should follow policy. After all, article talk pages are primarily about articles, not the closed debates about them, which is very likely why the policy is for the tag to be placed below Wikiproject headers. I'll await your response. Northamerica1000 (talk) 08:15, 12 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Well you can contact Mr.Z-man if you want (altough he is inactive since 8 December 2011). By the way, I don't know why do you think it, but the Articles for deletion/Administrator instructions is neither a guideline nor a policy and the page doesn't even claim to one of them.

 * Hello. I placed a notice on the user talk page about this matter here. You're correct that the administrator instructions for closing AfD's aren't a policy or guideline page; it's an instruction page about how to correctly close AfD's, likely based upon consensus. Anyway, it would be nice if you could place the tags per these instructions. If you're not interested in that, then I'll continue to correct these for you when I see them. Happy editing! Northamerica1000 (talk) 08:47, 12 January 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm not interested in it. Feel free to correct the placement of the template. Armbrust, B.Ed. <sup style="color:#E3A857;">Let's talk <sub style="color:#008000;">about my edits? 08:55, 12 January 2012 (UTC)

Question regarding filemover
Hi Armbrust,

Thanks for renaming that file. What's the deal with filemover permissions; if I were to request them do I stand any chance of actually getting them (unlike eg. checkuser)? Cheers, --<font style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 10px;">Carbon Rodney 08:39, 12 January 2012 (UTC)
 * The filemover userright is for users, who have experience in the file namespace. You currently have only one edit in these namespace and didn't upload any files. This userright is granted to users "who regularly work with media files and have demonstrated familiarity with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines surrounding renaming this type of media". If you gathered more experience in the file namespace, than you can request this userright at Requests for permissions/File mover.

Template:Current sport
What's your objection to the template? It exists for a reason. It's important that readers understand that a such an article is a moving target and may be wrong from moment to moment while the event is ongoing and that they should check news sources if they need very current details. If you object to the template generally, that's probably something to take up at Template talk:Current sport or WP:TFD. If you just feel it's not needed right this very minute, its nice for other editors' convenience to just leave it commented out until needed again, so no one has to go look up the parameters again. :-) — <font face="Trebuchet MS">SMcCandlish   Talk⇒ ʕ(Õلō)ˀ  Contribs. 11:51, 14 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Anyone home? — <font face="Trebuchet MS">SMcCandlish  Talk⇒ ʕ(Õلō)ˀ  Contribs. 21:19, 14 January 2012 (UTC)
 * I thinked there is nothing for me to say. The reason for the existence of this template is to warn users, that the article is rapidly changing, and not to indicate, that the event is ongoing. (These events could only change rapidly by the violation of the WP:NOTNEWS policy - live scoring.) For example 27 edits in 5 days isn't rapid enough for this template. Armbrust, B.Ed. <sup style="color:#E3A857;">Let's talk <sub style="color:#008000;">about my edits? 21:24, 14 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Except we cannot keep editors from updating the article with live scoring (on a match, not frame basis), which they regularly do with ongoing snooker tournament articles. It's more important to warn readers that an article is frequently changing because the event is still ongoing than it it is to try to prevent use of a template because you think editors shouldn't be updating the scores frequently.  I'm curious what you think  a good use of this template. What do you think is "often enough"? More than 5 changes per day seems plenty often to me. — <font face="Trebuchet MS">SMcCandlish   Talk⇒ ʕ(Õلō)ˀ  Contribs. 02:46, 15 January 2012 (UTC)
 * A page is rapidly evolving if it has at least . Live scoring on snooker articles become very rare in the last year, because I try to stop it and it looks like they don't do it any more. In the last year there was only one editor trying to do it (on the 2011 World Snooker Championship) and s/he was even blocked for it. But a hard limit, from which on some one can speak from rapid evolving, should be discussed at the templates talk page for wider discussion.

Articles for deletion/Avaya ERS-5600 Systems
When you closed this AfD, did you in investigate the reasons for this edit ? I would not blame you if you did not as it took me a bit of time to spot it, but it looks like User:Geek2003 stuck another editors !vote out because they had a semi-retired notice on the talk page. On the face of it looks like a clear keep, but looking closer I now think the discussion appears to be a little manipulated; what do you think ? Mt king (edits)12:09, 14 January 2012 (UTC)
 * No, but I think it doesn't change the consensus of the discussion. Alan Liefting has nominated the article for deletion and thus there was no need for him to write "Delete" at the beginning of the nomination. (As I see s/he only struck this word was out.) The nominators rationale was an argument to avoid and the other delete !vote was adequately refuted by the addition of multiple third party reliable sources.Armbrust, B.Ed. <sup style="color:#E3A857;">Let's talk <sub style="color:#008000;">about my edits? 12:23, 14 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I still feel that User:Geek2003's actions on the AfD are suspect, the appearance that he !voted twice by, the appearance of removing the nomination, but will leave it at that for now and perhaps re-nom if the article does not get more coverage, I assume you would have no issue with a re-nom ? Mt  king (edits)22:08, 14 January 2012 (UTC)
 * The "double !vote" isn't an issue, because I considered the his/her first !vote as a comment only. I don't have anything against a re-nomination, but advice against doing it too soon after this AfD.

Hi, Armbrust, please undo your defective close. Thanks and all the best — S Marshall T/C 16:41, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
 * I don't think the close was in any way defective. If you give me a valid reason for it, than I will reconsider undoing it. Armbrust, B.Ed. <sup style="color:#E3A857;">Let's talk <sub style="color:#008000;">about my edits? 16:45, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
 * WP:BLPREMOVE. I nominated the article for deletion because it contained no sources, and now, after the end of the AfD, it still contains no sources. — S Marshall  T/C 17:33, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
 * That still doesn't change the fact, that there was a rough consensus for keeping the article, as the article passes WP:AUTHOR#3. The discussion about rewriting and retitling the article can take place at the articles talk page. Armbrust, B.Ed. <sup style="color:#E3A857;">Let's talk <sub style="color:#008000;">about my edits? 17:54, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Armbrust, just !voting "keep" at the AfD is never going to be sufficient to keep an unsourced BLP. Sources must actually be added to the article, and unsourced statements removed.  I also respectfully suggest that your editing of the article to address the concerns I'm raising here, after you'd already closed the AfD as "keep", won't look very good if I'm forced to open a deletion review.  Please could you just reverse yourself and relist the debate in the hope of input from editors who aren't active in WikiProject Anime and manga?  All the best— S Marshall  T/C 18:12, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
 * I stand by the close, but it you think it's not right, than you may ask an administrator to review it per WP:NACD: "Decisions are subject to review and may be reopened by any administrator."

 * WP:BLP trumps the supposed consensus here. Not sure what you were thinking closing what's not only a barely 2-1 !vote, but also closing an unsourced BLP as "keep".

Query
Hi. You've been doing an exemplary job closing AfDs. One today, however, raised a question in my mind. It was Articles for deletion/Engadine Public School. I agree completely with you that, as you noted in your close, "There is a clear consensus, that a separate article for this school isn't warranted". You closed it as a redirect, which I personally was open to. But looking at the !votes, that didn't seem to have consensus support, as best I could tell -- only 1 other !voter supported that result. In contrast, 5 editors called for deletion (only), and I also indicated an openness to deletion. That seemed to me to be the consensus at the AfD. Thoughts? Best.--Epeefleche (talk) 22:39, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Maybe I was a little too bold with this closure. Undone it for now as the other possible result would be delete, which close I can't make. I will keep an eye on it and if it will be deleted, than I will recreate it as a redirect to Engadine,_New_South_Wales. Armbrust, B.Ed. <sup style="color:#E3A857;">Let's talk <sub style="color:#008000;">about my edits? 22:49, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks for taking another look. As I said, and is clear at the AfD, I personally am not against a redirect.  But delete did seem to be the consensus view, and editors such as sysop Bearian clearly based their !votes on our policy at Verifiability, so it seemed that a redirect might violate both our policy on following consensus and our policy on verifiability, IMHO.  Best.--Epeefleche (talk) 23:09, 16 January 2012 (UTC)

Greetings
Greetings, good sir! I just happened to be looking around RfA and found the request for MikeLynch. In it, you had asked an additional question and eventually !voted neutral, and a day later changed to support. You have not struck your neutral !vote.

I would have done it myself, but knowing it's not considered appropriate to edit users' comments - even in the case of this sort of error - I opted to give you a heads-up instead. Good day and I hope the impending blackout doesn't darken your spirits. =) CycloneGU (talk) 01:23, 18 January 2012 (UTC)

Classic (snooker) edits
Is the format specified here actually laid out anywhere on the snooker's project's pages, or is this yet another hidden guideline that simply confuses editors acting in good faith to improve articles? At the very least data tables should contain  and a caption is strongly recommended for accessibility reasons. A better solution than enforcing some nonstandard layou would be update the rest of the snooker articles to use tables the same way the rest of the encyclopedia does. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) (talk) 13:53, 21 January 2012 (UTC)

Articles for deletion/COLOURlovers
You closed this as Keep? That's insane. The best that can be said was no consensus. The "strong keep" doesn't make that editor's vote any more important, especially when the arguments made were patently false. The site DID NOT win any Webby awards, it was merely nominated, and that nomination process is trivially easy. Please consider changing the closure to be a more accurate reflection of the discussion. DreamGuy (talk) 14:56, 21 January 2012 (UTC)

Please consider re-opening the AFDs for "Onward Muslim Soldiers" and "The Myth of Islamic Tolerance". 3 deletes against 3 keeps does not constitute consensus to keep, and certainly not a strong enough consensus for a non-admin closure. If there are reasons for discounting the delete votes, ie. if you believe they're not based in policy, it's incumbent on you to explain that in your close. –Roscelese (talk &sdot; contribs) 15:19, 21 January 2012 (UTC)

Category request: Category:UK All-formats Number-one Games
Hi there, There would appear to be many pages supporting this category. The charts are generally published monthly, with a different game every month since the early 1980s. There will be games that remain number one for several months, but that still leaves at least 250. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.175.37.100 (talk) 07:33, 24 January 2012
 * Maybe you're right, but the name of the category seems a little strange. (The name Category:Number-one games in the United Kingdom would be better.) Armbrust, B.Ed. <sup style="color:#E3A857;">Let's talk <sub style="color:#008000;">about my edits? 12:15, 24 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Agreed, maybe Category:All-format Number-one games in the United Kingdom, to distinguish from Just Spectrum, Gameboy or PS3 games (there is an individual chart for each system, and additionally a combined-format chart). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.175.37.100 (talk) 18:06, 25 January 2012‎
 * I think Category:Number-one games in the United Kingdom is the best solution, as it doesn't contain any console-related information. The "All-format" wording is a little nonsense. Armbrust, B.Ed. <sup style="color:#E3A857;">Let's talk <sub style="color:#008000;">about my edits? 18:14, 25 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Well, what you said is a fairly good solution, but I'd say the format is important. Unlike music, which does not differentiate between CD/vinyl/MP3, with video games there are different charts. Also, without anything to do with formats in the title of the category, it's not clear we're talking about video/console games, as opposed to board games etc. Suggest what you said, or a variation on Category:Number-ones in the UK combined games chart. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.175.37.100 (talk) 20:02, 25 January 2012
 * I still think Category:Number-one games in the United Kingdom is best solution. As it doesn't contain disambiguation elements both video and board games could be added to it.

South African Snooker Championship
Hello - if you want to remove all that information from my page - at least keep a record on the talk page? It took me a LOT of time to gather this info. Also, why did you remove it from the snooker template, and remove the template from the page? How would this tournament be categorized if it not a 'non-ranking' tournament?? Sandman30s (talk) 12:27, 25 January 2012 (UTC)
 * There is no need to record it on the talk page, it's still in the history of the page and can be restored if you find sources, for this challenged material. It doesn't matter how many time it took you to collect this information, if you can't verify it with reliable sources.

 * Please then restore the third column (winners of 1977 To 1994 - S.A. Billiards And Snooker Control Board), the information of which is on the official roll of honour which you allowed.

 * Thanks Sandman30s (talk) 11:44, 26 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Now for my next argument :p If you look at the Perrie Mans page, you will see the first reference is 'Other National Professional Championship'. I used that on my page which you removed. I would like to use this link as a citation to my South African Snooker Championship to include the professional national champion information. My page is looking incomplete without that. The rest of the references on the Perrie Mans page also seem to verify the first reference. Sandman30s (talk) 11:50, 26 January 2012 (UTC)
 * It would be a bad idea. These results are not on official roll of honour, and the 'Other National Professional Championship' source doesn't says it has anything to do with the South African Snooker Championship. If you want to add this, than you would need at least one reliable sources which says, that these events are the same. Currently they only have similar names, and to say after this they are the same event is original research, forbidden by policy. For example the Welsh Professional Championship and the Welsh Snooker Championship are not the same too. (BTW the Perry Mans article was corrected, and now it links to South African Professional Championship.)

Articles for deletion/Chemical attack on behbahan battalion
I'm a little confused... ok, no. I'm completely stumped as to what you did on this article. TBH, I could have even seen you closing this as keep before your second relist, but to put it up for relist and then close it a few hours later after just two more keep !votes? What was that? If you're gonna relist it, why not let it run out? I'm not suggesting that it's gonna swing to delete, but that's a really odd close.  Nolelover   Talk · Contribs  00:18, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
 * I see nothing odd with this. This very similar to cases, where after a relist the article is deleted the same day, like this. At the time of the relist I wasn't sure, that closing it was a good idea, as the additional keep !vote was very week.

 * But that wasn't the same person, and it wasn't a NAC. I'm not trying to say there was anything wrong with how you closed it, I just find it extremely odd that you would relist after, I agree, a weak keep, then close as keep just a few hours later after two more keeps that didn't even answer my original concerns.

Relisting AFDs
Hi, thanks for your work at AFD. Can you please take a look at WP:RELIST? It's not usual to relist AFDs endlessly in the hope that someone will come along, and anything beyond a second relisting should have a specific rationale given. If an AFD isn't getting participation, it should be closed as no consensus or soft delete (by an admin). Stifle (talk) 17:30, 29 January 2012 (UTC)

Although your closure may be correct, it is controversial, as I (the nominator) and one other editor found no justification for inclusion, and only 2 other editors found any justification to keep, which I stated was contrary to guidelines.

WikiCup 2012 January newsletter
WikiCup 2012 is off to a flying start. At the time of writing, we have 112 contestants; comparable to last year, but slightly fewer than 2010. Signups will remain open for another week, after which time they will be closed for this year. Our currrent far-away leader is, due mostly to his work on a slew of good articles about The X-Files; there remain many such articles waiting to be reviewed at good article candidates. Second place is currently held by, whose points come mostly from good articles about television episodes, although good article reviews, did you knows and an article about a baroness round out the score. In third place is, who has scored 200 points for his work on a single featured article, as well as points for work on others, mostly in the area of pop music. In all, nine users have 100 or more points. However, at the other end of the scale, there are still dozens of participants who are yet to score. Please remember to update your submission pages promptly!

The 64 highest scoring participants will advance to round 2 in a month's time. There, they will be split into eight random groups of eight. The score needed to reach the next round is not at all clear; last year, 8 points guaranteed a place. The year before, 20.

A few participants and their work warrant a mention for achieving "firsts" in this competition.
 * was the first to score, with his good article review of Illinois v. McArthur.
 * was also the first to score points for an article, thanks to his work on Hurricane Debby (1982)- now a good article. Tropical storms have featured heavily in the Cup, and good articles currently have a relatively fast turnaround time for reviews.
 * was the first to score points for a did you know, with Russian submarine K-114 Tula. Military history is another subject which has seen a lot of Cup activity.
 * is also the first person to successfully claim bonus points. Terminator 2: Judgment Day is now a good article, and was eligible for bonus points because the subject was covered on more than 20 other Wikipedias at the start of the competition. It is fantastic to see bonus points being claimed so early!
 * was the first to score points for an In the News entry, with Paedophryne amauensis. The lead image from the article was also used on the main page for a time, and it's certainly eye-catching!
 * was the first to score points for a featured article, and is, at the moment, the only competitor to claim for one. The article, "Halo" (Beyoncé Knowles song), was also worth double points because of its wide coverage. While this is an article that Jivesh and others have worked on for some time, it is undeniable that he has put considerable work into it this year, pushing it over the edge.

We are yet to see any featured lists, featured topics or good topics, but this is unsurprising; firstly, the nomination processes with each of these can take some time, and, secondly, it can take a considerable amount of time to work content to this level. In a similar vein, we have seen only one featured article. The requirement that content must have been worked on this year to be eligible means that we did not expect to see these at the start of the competition. No points have been claimed for featured portals or pictures, but these are not content types which are often claimed; the former has never made a big impact on the WikiCup, while the latter has not done so since 2009's competition.

A quick rules clarification before the regular notices: If you are concerned that another user is claiming points inappropriately, please contact a judge to take a look at the article. Competitors policing one another can create a bad atmosphere, and may lead to inconsistencies and mistakes. Rest assured that we, the judges, are making an effort to check submissions, but it is possible that we will miss something. On a loosely related note: If you are concerned that your nomination, be it at good article candidates, a featured process or anywhere else, will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages, or by email. Good luck! If you wish to start receiving or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from WikiCup/Newsletter/Send. J Milburn and The ed17 23:57, 31 January 2012 (UTC)

 * The problem is with the sources in the article. The general notability guideline requires significant coverage in independent reliable sources. The current three references doesn't pass this, as all three are connected to the in some way: ref 1 is the official blog of the president, ref 2 is the Wiki of the company and ref 3 is from the official website of the company. Blogs and Wikis are also not reliable. The solution to this is to add more references to the article as inline citations. It looks like to me like ref 3 has enough material from the press, they have just to be added.

About ANZ Ladies Masters
Hi, I noticed that you misunderstood from ALPG page that ANZ Ladies Masters (Currently Gold Coast RACV Australian Ladies Masters) had happened two times in 2011, one in February and one in March. I went to ALPG page and if you click 2010/2011 season, and if you see the date of ANZ Ladies Masters, the last one on the list, it is written as March 2-5, 2010. So the ANZ Ladies Masters did not happen in March 2011. The direct proof that ANZ Ladies Masters did not happen in March 2011 is that whom you had written as the runner-up of that event, Lee Bo-mee, participated in LPGA of Japan event Daikin Orchid Ladies, which was held through March 4-6. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ThpRicky (talk • contribs) 07:15, 5 February 2012‎

Official names
Hi there. I noticed that you moved the laws of Australian football to Australian rules football. Whilst this is probably ok from a disambiguation point, your edit summary of "this is the official name" is incorrect. Australian football is actually the official name of the sport but is not used often here due to the worldwide ambiguity that it has. The WP:COMMONNAME of Australian rules football is often used here to disambiguate it from football (any code) in Australia. Cheers The-Pope (talk) 05:26, 17 February 2012 (UTC)

Declined image upload...
Hi, I just saw that my request for image upload on "Apple Messages Application icon.png" was declined, with the explanation that the image is replaceable with a free one. However, it isn't the case, since the image is the specific icon of a computer software (that is, Apple Messages, for Mac OS X), intended to be used on the specific page of that specific software (that is Messages (application)). Such use of a computer software icon seems to be a common practice and appears to comply with the fair use principle. What should I do to have my request reevaluated?

 * Please can you help me to create one then please. I would like anything as long as it's nothing too grey, nothing to boyish something in the middle! Thanks! --Chip123456 (talk) 19:35, 20 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Sorry, but that is too vague for me to work with. Do you wanna use different colors only? Or other formating methods too? (Like superscript, subscript, other fonts.) Do you want, that your signature contains a link to you contributions too?

 * I would like different colours if possible. A link to contributions would be good as well and a different font any of the ones you've suggested would be fine! Thanks --Chip123456 (talk) 19:52, 20 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Okay, I will make a first attempt shortly. Armbrust, B.Ed. <sup style="color:#E3A857;">Let's talk <sub style="color:#008000;">about my edits? 19:54, 20 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks! --Chip123456 (talk) 20:00, 20 February 2012 (UTC)
 * My first attempt is there: User:Armbrust/Work area. If you don't like the colors, than you choose different ones at List of colors. Armbrust, B.Ed. <sup style="color:#E3A857;">Let's talk <sub style="color:#008000;">about my edits? 20:08, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

That's great, could you do it without the my edits bit? And dif font? If you can? Thanks! --Chip123456 (talk) 20:26, 20 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Another try at the same place, it uses "Courier new". Note, however, that it only shows up at your browser, if the typeface is installed on your browser. Armbrust, B.Ed. <sup style="color:#E3A857;">Let's talk <sub style="color:#008000;">about my edits? 21:42, 20 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Hi, me again; I've come here as follow-up to the WP:VPT discussion, to see how you were getting on with the font faces. I see that your work area contains a ; please note that the double # is an error, so that the desired colour is unrecognised in some browsers. If your browser shows <span style="font-family:'Courier new',monospace"><font color="##E1AD21">Chip and <span style="font-family:'Courier new',monospace"> Chip   the same (a yellowish ochre shade), it manages to work around it; but others won't do so, and will show the first one in a different colour (probably the normal blue/indigo link colour). If you remove one of the # from your work area, it should work better. -- Red rose64 (talk) 22:32, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

I think I'm going to keep my normal one! Thanks for creating other ones though!--Chip123456 (talk) 17:26, 21 February 2012 (UTC)

2012 Nagaland Premier League
Hey mate, I saw you put a non-free template on here. Obviously I removed it because non of the article is copyrighted but you undid it and said that it contains to many pictures. Anyway I just want to know, what do you want me to do. I tried making this page almost like other seasonal articles like 2012 Major League Soccer season which has a section which contains pictures of all of the stadiums that will be used during the season but instead of stadiums I want to use logos. I am just wondering, how is this wrong and how can I improve the article. I dont want to draw away people as this article will become more popular as it is recently in India. Cheers. --Arsenalkid700 (talk) 23:33, 21 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Well it's quite simple. The team section contains too many non-free images. Non-free images are however copyrighted by default, which means the tag is correct. Using free images of the stadiums would be the better solution. Armbrust, B.Ed. <sup style="color:#E3A857;">Let's talk <sub style="color:#008000;">about my edits? 23:41, 21 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Ok, I dont have pictures of the stadiums that I can use as the ones I can find were not taken by me nor do I have any permission to use them. Anyway, I am just going to take a wild guess here that I have a 0% chance of actually keeping these pictures in the 2012 Nagaland Premier League teams section. If there is a way for me to keep them there only, then please get back to me. Cheers. --Arsenalkid700 (talk) 00:29, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

 * Nice of you to do this, but please don't change the ones in archived discussions that have long since been closed. Those discussions should reflect the state of categories, etc. at the time of writing and should not be "updated". Good Ol’factory (talk) 03:04, 23 February 2012 (UTC)
 * It would been better if you said that, before I finished that. Now that I done it on almost every pages, what shall I do? Self-revert on archives? (After I wake at least.) Armbrust, B.Ed. <sup style="color:#E3A857;">Let's talk <sub style="color:#008000;">about my edits? 03:07, 23 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Well, I don't think it's a big deal in most cases. The only ones I was meaning were the ones like old CFDs and AFDs that have specifically been "closed and archived" using templates like Template:cfd top and Template:cfd bottom that changes the colour of the background. Those are not ever supposed to be changed or updated. Changing it on talk pages that are just archived—as in old and not added to any more—is fine, I think. I believe I caught most of the ones that were in issue, so you don't have to go back and correct anything. But even if I missed one, it's not the end of the world and is a fairly minor point. I wouldn't worry about it at all. I was just asking you for future edits—wasn't sure if you had more to do or not. Good Ol’factory (talk) 03:12, 23 February 2012 (UTC)

Removal of RFC tag
Armbrust - I do not know what motivated you to remove the RFC tag from the Article title RFC. However, I have restored it. RFCs should run 30 days. I will close it when that happens. You may not like the way the RFC is worded or the ideas it contains, but you are free to not participate as well. Please allow others in the community to say their peace, whatever it may be.

WikiCup 2012 February newsletter
Round 1 is already over! The 64 highest scorers have progressed to round 2. Our highest scorer was, again thanks mostly to a swathe of good articles on The X-Files. In second place was, thanks an impressive list of did you knows about racehorses. Both scored over 400 points. Following behind with over 300 points were, , and. February also saw the competition's first featured list: List of colleges and universities in North Dakota, from. At the other end of the scale, 11 points was enough to secure a place in this round, and some contestants with 10 points made it into the round on a tiebreaker. This is higher than the 8 points that were needed last year, but lower than the 20 points required the year before. The number of points required to progress to round 3 will be significantly higher.

The remaining contestants have been split into 8 pools of 8, named A through H. Round two will finish in two months time on 28 April, when the two highest scorers in each pool, as well as the next 16 highest scorers, will progress to round 3. The pools were entirely random, so while some pools may end up being more competitive than others, this is by chance rather than design.

The judges would like to point out two quick rules reminders. First, any content promoted during the interim period (that is, on or after 27 February) is eligible for points in round 2. Second, any content worked on significantly this year is eligible for points if promoted in this round. On a related note, if you are concerned that your nomination, be it at good article candidates, a featured process or anywhere else, will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which would otherwise be caused by the Cup. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!
