Did you know nomination of Franco-German University
Thank you for your nomination of the Franco-German University article. Could you please review the outstanding issues at the nomination page? Thank you. Moonraker (talk) 01:51, 4 March 2018 (UTC)

Names of non-English-speaking universities
I noticed your move of Ludwigsburg University to University of Education Ludwigsburg, with the edit summary "more appropriate translation". We should not be naming pages in that way, we should follow the policy at Article titles. That says, for instance, "Wikipedia does not necessarily use the subject's "official" name as an article title; it generally prefers to use the name that is most frequently used to refer to the subject in English-language reliable sources. This includes usage in the sources used as references for the article." (In this case there are no sources used as references, as pointed out by a hatnote.)

I had to face up to this problem not long ago when I created the page Orange College of Breda, about a college with a bewildering variety of names, and I know it's far from easy, but we should at least do a check on the English-language reliable sources, rather than just making a translation. In this case, there certainly are some hits for "University of Education Ludwigsburg", although I think more for "University of Education, Ludwigsburg", which follows the English-language pattern of using commas in a proper noun like this. In many cases, the common name in English is easy to find, and rather often it does not translate the name in the foreign language. Moonraker (talk) 05:48, 4 March 2018 (UTC)


 * @Moonraker: The main reason for my move is the rather important distinction between a "normal" (general) university and specifically a University of Education. I didn't give much thought to the details and alternatives like "University of Education, Ludwigsburg" or "Ludwigsburg University of Education". I originally based my choice on the University of Education Karlsruhe article — which I have now also moved to better reflect their self-declared English name. BegbertBiggs (talk) - [//de.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:BegbertBiggs de] 13:12, 4 March 2018 (UTC)


 * Okay, but the principle of "ab uno disce omnes" can't really be applied in this context. I found and added some reliable English-language sources for the page, and as they were using Ludwigsburg University of Education I moved it to that. Moonraker (talk) 01:02, 5 March 2018 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for March 28
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Élysée Treaty, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Tagesschau ([//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/%C3%89lys%C3%A9e_Treaty check to confirm] | [//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/%C3%89lys%C3%A9e_Treaty?client=notify fix with Dab solver]). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

As part of that process, a bunch of changes were made by myself and others. Here is the discussion page, you can leave comments there if you like. BegbertBiggs (talk) 12:50, 13 April 2018 (UTC)

SAATM
Hi --

I noticed that User:BegbertBiggs/SAATM is a draft for an article on the Single African Air Transport Market. It's obviously not complete, but looks sufficient to be an article now. power~enwiki ( π, ν ) 02:06, 4 May 2018 (UTC)


 * Hi power~enwiki – thank you for considering my draft worthy of being an article, and I like that you created Yamoussoukro Decision. I prefer work on my article a little bit more and especially add some prose, rather than publishing a stub right away. It won't take long though! BegbertBiggs (talk) 15:59, 4 May 2018 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Monika Forstinger


A tag has been placed on Monika Forstinger, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the.

Sources needed for Days of the Year pages
I see you recently accepted pending changes to August 7, October 7, December 29, and February 13 that did not include any direct sources.

You're probably not aware of this change, but Days of the Year pages are no longer exempt from WP:V and direct sources are required for additions. For details see the edit notice on that page, the content guideline and/or the WikiProject Days of the Year style guide. All new additions without references are now being either reverted on-sight or in some cases where the patroller is especially motivated, immediately sourced. I've gone ahead and un-accepted all those edits and backed them out.

All the pages in the Days of the Year project have had pending changes protection turned on to prevent vandalism and further addition of entries without direct sources. As a pending changes patroller, please do not accept additions to day of year pages where no direct source has been provided on that day of year page. The burden to provide sources for additions to these pages is on the editor who adds or restores material to these pages. Thank you and please keep up your good work!

Airbus
Good afternoon, I have seen your flag on the corruption controversy concerning Airbus. Indeed, before you put it, I had just created this paragraph, and had no time to add and review carefully all sources I had for what I wrote. I did it yesterday and today, and I believe the article is complete now. Can I ask you to have a look at it? and tell me what you think? Thank you in advance PS: Ich spreche auch gerne Deutsch... --Emigré55 (talk) 11:53, 11 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Looks like edits by you and others have mostly dealt with my original concerns. I have removed the tags I had placed. I have however noticed a few claims that seem to be without citations or with unclear sourcing, so I have placed inline tags there. BegbertBiggs (talk) 17:55, 14 March 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Partnership Africa Canada § Requested move 9 October 2020
Hello. At Talk:Partnership Africa Canada, you added some sort of a relisting mark on 9 October 2020. I'm sure this change has a purpose, but I don't understand it. Could you please explain it to me, as perhaps I had done something wrong? Is it related to the template that had since been removed at the suggestion of another editor? Your relisting mark just seems out of place, and I didn't feel like removing it without asking about it. — Christopher, Sheridan, OR (talk) 23:34, 18 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Hi DeNoel, you didn't do anything wrong. After 7-8 days a requested move should usually either be closed (e.g. if a consensus to move or not move has been found) or relisted. Relisting extends the "deadline" and encourages further input from other editors. See WP:RMRELIST for more information. In this case the discussion had no participation from others, so I relisted it. BegbertBiggs (talk) 09:12, 19 October 2020 (UTC)

History of a move
Hi again. I'm looking into the history of a move. Wondering if there was an official request, or if the editor just unilaterally made a highly controversial move - I've recently discovered other mass deletes/POV issues at Kirti Monastery by the same editor. While trying to return the page to its previous title via another request for move, the diff info was just discovered. (FYI, I just put in a request for aid at Teahouse, but since we've pinged, I thought to ask.) Thanks. Pasdecomplot (talk) 22:25, 29 October 2020 (UTC)


 * I don't see any discussion about the title from that time. Given that the move wasn't disputed or reverted, the editors back then probably didn't consider it very controversial ("implicit consensus"). You could move it back boldly, or it might be best to settle it with a formal requested move. BegbertBiggs (talk) 23:09, 29 October 2020 (UTC)


 * Since the earlier move was highly controversial and without CON, I would think reverting the move is more appropriate. Then, a proper move request can be submitted if a controversy ensues.
 * Not sure about the technique for the bold option - is there a link to the process about redirects? There's the page title change at Gedhun Choekyi Nyima, and the revert of the redirect from '11th Panchen Lama' to '11th Panchen Lama controversy'. Pasdecomplot (talk) 13:42, 30 October 2020 (UTC)


 * You should be able to move the page back here — just fill in your reasoning and click "move page". As for Gedhun Choekyi Nyima, I see you've already initiated the RM in the proper way. BegbertBiggs (talk) 13:59, 30 October 2020 (UTC)


 * Is the process for redirects different than a move? As in, stopping all redirects for '11th Panchen Lama' to the '11th Panchen Lama controversy' page. Pasdecomplot (talk) 22:10, 30 October 2020 (UTC)


 * By moving the page with the link I put above that redirect will automatically be deleted and replaced. BegbertBiggs (talk) 22:16, 30 October 2020 (UTC)


 * again, apologies for the quagmire. Reminiscent of a shadow! Regards. Pasdecomplot (talk) 12:50, 2 November 2020 (UTC)

Move
Heello, Result of Fahai' page move discussion was "moved ". But it has not moved yet! Why? VocalIndia (talk) 08:18, 30 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Hi. I am unable to move the article for technical reasons (it requires advanced permissions). After recording that the RM discussion resulted in a "consensus to move", I listed the page at WP:RMTR. Another editor with the required permissions will come along and move the page as soon as they can. I hope this clears it up. BegbertBiggs (talk) 10:28, 30 October 2020 (UTC)

Request to close an RM you previously relisted?
Hi! Regarding this RM, it's now been almost a month with no interest whatsoever from anyone but me, so I think there's probably no problem with me unilaterally implementing the changes proposed (or whichever ones I see fit), as long as the RM has been formally closed as "unopposed" or some such. Would you mind doing that? I considered taking it to ANRFC (actually I've been considering this for about two weeks), but the formatting there seems to have changed since the last time I used it, and can't for the life of me figure out what I'm supposed to do.

Page mover granted
Hello, BegbertBiggs. Your account has been [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=rights&user=&page=User%3ABegbertBiggs granted] the "extendedmover" user right, either following a request for it or demonstrating familiarity with working with article names and moving pages. You are now able to rename pages without leaving behind a redirect, move subpages when moving the parent page(s), and move category pages.

Please take a moment to review Page mover for more information on this user right, especially the criteria for moving pages without leaving redirect. Please remember to follow post-move cleanup procedures and make link corrections where necessary, including broken double-redirects when  is used. This can be done using Special:WhatLinksHere. It is also very important that no one else be allowed to access your account, so you should consider taking a few moments to secure your password. As with all user rights, be aware that if abused, or used in controversial ways without consensus, your page mover status can be revoked.

Changes to Connect on July 10, 2020
Hi! I'm am writing about the page move for Connect insurance company. I understand the need to remove the all capitalization treatment because it is for style, but I am hoping we can change the name back to the full trademarked name: Connect, powered by American Family Insurance

This is for several reasons: 1. It is the fully trademarked name of the company. Trademark info here. 2. There are other Connect insurance companies, and it could cause confusion between the two.

Brenda haines (talk) 15:18, 19 March 2021 (UTC)


 * The RM discussion was pretty clear that the previous title was overly promotional. Note that trademarks are irrelevant to Wikipedia article titles. No other insurance company with that name has a Wikipedia article written about it (as far as I can tell) so it's not really ambiguous either. BegbertBiggs (talk) 16:56, 19 March 2021 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the clarification. Brenda haines (talk) 17:39, 19 March 2021 (UTC)


 * I have opened a review of the move. After reviewing the talk on the initial review it feels like the majority of the support to have it moved was subjective and not backed by reasoning, but instead because the title was ugly or did not match another company's. If more sources are needed to support the full name, those can be provided. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Brenda haines (talk • contribs) 19:08, 22 March 2021 (UTC)
