Switching a TFA
Hi Buidhe, I saw on Today's featured article/requests/pending that you wanted to nominate International Conference on the Holocaust and Genocide for TFA on June 20, 2022. I am hoping to fix up Final Fantasy Tactics this year and nominate it for TFA on June 20, 2022, the 25th anniversary of the video game's release. Would you be OK with switching the date of your TFA? Thanks. Z1720 (talk) 14:58, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Z1720 Sure, I'd be happy with June 24. (t &#183; c)  buidhe  15:05, 4 March 2021 (UTC)

Mass POV pushing /source removal by Volunteer Marek on the Institute of National Remembrance page

GAN drive question
Hey Buidhe, I was wondering, I claimed the Sehet, wir gehn hinauf gen Jerusalem, BWV 159 GAN review around a week ago; Gerda asked me to do so, though I told her that if I did so I would likely get to it quite a bit late, and she agreed. Just today I've reviewed the article and I'm wondering if this could still count for the GAN drive? Best - Aza24 (talk) 05:42, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
 * The GA backlog rules state that "Reviews started before 1 March do not count." I believe that "started" means opening a review, although unfortunately it could be interpreted both ways., what do you think? Either way the rules should be clarified to leave no doubt. (t &#183; c)  buidhe  15:55, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
 * My understanding is that technically the review should be opened in March for credit. However, in cases where no actual reviewing was conducted until March, we have (in the past) virtually always allowed those reviews and I would similarly be inclined to offer credit here, particularly when considering that it is clear Aza was acting in good faith and not trying to abuse the guidelines. Cheers, Eddie891 Talk Work 16:01, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks for clarifying! Aza24 I will grant credit in that case. (t &#183; c)  buidhe  16:03, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Great! Thank you both for your assistance. Aza24 (talk) 19:52, 5 March 2021 (UTC)

Good article drive
Hi, I reviewed an article for the good article drive earlier, and you've marked the review as being too short. Having read a couple of other reviews I can see that it is obviously too short, I'm going to edit it now. If I link to the edited review in a subcomment can you change the flag on the review? I haven't reviewed any articles before so please bear with me. Kind regards, Ballpointbiro (talk) 16:48, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Ballpointbiro, Sure, I would be happy to reevaluate. There is a learning curve with these things! (t &#183; c)  buidhe  16:53, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
 * I've added some more detail to the review and suggested some improvements. Please let me know if this is satisfactory and I'll adjust the article's talk page accordingly. Thanks for taking the time, Ballpointbiro (talk) 17:21, 5 March 2021 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of Paramilitary punishment attacks in Northern Ireland
The article Paramilitary punishment attacks in Northern Ireland you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Paramilitary punishment attacks in Northern Ireland for comments about the article. Well done! If the article has not already appeared on the main page as a "Did you know" item, or as a bold link under "In the News" or in the "On This Day" prose section, you can nominate it within the next seven days to appear in DYK.

Triple Crown
Hi Buidhe. nominated you for a Triple Crown (see here), and having gone through your contributions, I can confirm you are eligible and am happy to present you with the award. As you have between 5 and 14 eligible articles in each category, you are entitled to the Imperial Napoleonic Triple Crown immediately. If you had of self-nominated or been nominated for the lower tiers of the award, you could of course have been awarded those first. Accordingly, if you would also like to be retroactively awarded the 'Standard' and 'Imperial' Triple Crown, just let me know and I'll be happy to confer those as well (some people want them, some people don't seem fussed, it makes no difference to me). The record of your conferment is located here. If in the future you get 15 or more eligible articles in each category and wish to apply for the next tier of the award, copy the articles that you've already been recognised for into your new nomination, and then add the newer articles after them. Have a great day. Damien Linnane (talk) 12:21, 5 March 2021 (UTC)


 * "Napoleon Buidhe" - it has a certain ring to it. Congratulations. Gog the Mild (talk) 12:44, 5 March 2021 (UTC)

Some help
It's not that we're too close or that we've had a lot of interactions, but I feel like you're one of the few admins that I consider trustworthy enough for this. For months already I have been receiving a wave of warnings and I have been involved in multiple disputes with other users. At first I thought most or half at least of them weren't my fault, but after so many fights one doesn't know what to think. Would it be possible for you to give a quick check at my latest actions and determine if I just have a bad streak or if I really am the main problem? Any advise is of course welcome. I also highlight that while I may not have had the best behavior in January and February of this year, I think this month I'm not doing much stuff badly, but well, my opinion doesn't count too much in this case. Thank you, Super   Ψ   Dro  17:29, 9 March 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Mayoralty of Pete Buttigieg/GA2
Now that you mentioned the copyvio issues on that review, I decided to take a closer look at the Earwig (it finally worked for me) and found more copyvios. Since I already started the review, should I keep it on hold? Or is it ok to fail it due to the copyvios?  Bait30  Talk 2 me pls? 01:31, 12 March 2021 (UTC)

Imperial Russian Army
Are the "Tsarist Army" and the Imperial Russian Army equivalent? I'm not very familiar with eastern European stuff, and went with "Tsarist Army" at the Alexander Bielaski article because that's what the source called it. Hog Farm Talk 02:51, 15 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Hog Farm Tsarist Army redirects to the Imperial Russian Army, and this source indicates they're the same thing. The issue is that "tsarist" has a negative connotation nowadays so I would try to avoid it. (t &#183; c)  buidhe  03:04, 15 March 2021 (UTC)

If you're interested in editing the main page text, you're welcome to do so at Today's featured article/April 5, 2021, but note that a coordinator will trim the lead to around 1000 characters anyway, so you aren't obliged to do so.

Just a pointless, if too long, comment
Regarding your reply here, I agree - it's not sufficient to just note that Lewis is a woman. I should have said more about this point, but even with the following elaboration it remains uninteresting, hence this being "just a comment" :).

Although the Boston marriage existed and was partly romantic (... though its historicity in my research is fairly debatable), most are unlike Cather's relationship with Lewis. Many, not all, were probably just women who, because of their disinterest in being married, found company with other socially elite women. Relationships like those by Sarah Orne Jewett (who Cather edited, and even dedicated a book to) are more to the core of her relationship with Lewis: markedly romantic, lifelong, enduring, and not particularly motivated by wealth or status, but AFAIK in my research, these are a minority. And even if they weren't, Boston marriages were not particularly common anyway -- and certainly, the kind experienced by Jewett are rarer still. But even if that were interesting, the hooks I proposed sort of flatten Cather anyway. Only saying that someone had a partner is essentializing and trivial, especially when we have much punchier stuff to work with.

My secondary interest in those hooks, though, was that Homestead's book shines a whole new light on the Cather-Lewis relationship. And it is due to be launched on April 1 -- so, timely for DYK. Acocella and other conservative writers tried to whitewash the romantic dimension, but letters like these make it increasingly hard to deny. And I could not find a better way to write them than I did there -- so your proposed hook makes me quite happy, not only because I lack the skills to translate the Homestead book into an appropriate hook, but also because it avoids flattening her and speaks to her notability (a writer, not being a likely lesbian).

Move closure
Hello, you recently closed this discussion saying that we need "recent English-language sources". I'm confused because I've provided these (for example this RFE/RL source and this Carnegie Europe source), while the opposing side has provided zero English-language RS that refers to the city as "Şirvan". And I don't believe MODERNPLACENAMES applies here as this is not a case of different names. They're the same name, but an anglicized version, even official Azerbaijani government sources use "Shirvan" when referring to city in English. Therefore, I'd like to ask you to review your closure. Cheers. — CuriousGolden (T·C)  20:48, 16 March 2021 (UTC)
 * , Yes, you provided some recent sources, but so did those opposing the move, specifically mentioning Financial Times style guide and Lonely Planet guidebook. Recent sources do count because the Kyiv move was closed on the grounds that many English-language sources switched from Kiev to Kyiv (although the Russian and Ukrainian names/spellings did not change). If we were looking at all of history or even just the last 20 years, Kiev would have won out. (t &#183; c)  buidhe  20:53, 16 March 2021 (UTC)
 * The opposing side provided 2 overall sources, while I provided 5 and Google Scholar/News results which show that the anglicized name is in more common use. In addition to this, Wikipedia policies such as WP:UE advocate that we anglicize names, so not anglicizing it, when there are clearly more source referring to it by its anglicized name doesn't seem quite right. — CuriousGolden (T·C)  20:58, 16 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Soo.. would you revert your closure or would you recommend me to take it to WP:MR? Cheers. — Curious</b><b style="color:#c29d25">Golden</b> (T·C) </b> 07:32, 17 March 2021 (UTC)
 * I can't stop you from taking it to MR. However, I don't think you will succeed there as the premise is wrong. WP:UE does not "advocate that we anglicize names", it actually states, "The choice between anglicized and local spellings should follow English-language usage". (t &#183; c)  buidhe  07:37, 17 March 2021 (UTC)
 * But that's exactly what I've proved. I've given 5 recent reliable sources as well as an extensive WP:GOOGLETEST that show that "Shirvan" is the common name in English-language media. This is why I'm confused about the result of the request as the opposing side barely provided 2 sources, one of which is from 2004 while the other 5 years-old, much older than any of the sources I've provided. — <b style="color:#c29d25">Curious</b><b style="color:#c29d25">Golden</b> (T·C) </b> 07:40, 17 March 2021 (UTC)
 * I'd really rather if we could solve this here, rather than me having to take it to MR, so I'm still waiting for your reply. In the meantime an almost exact move here was closed successfully, so I don't think I have the "premise wrong". — <b style="color:#c29d25">Curious</b><b style="color:#c29d25">Golden</b> (T·C) </b> 05:48, 18 March 2021 (UTC)

Outstanding noms
Hello, I have been enjoying participating in the March 2021 GAN Backlog Drive, but I would like to ask what nominations are classified as outstanding ones? I was thinking it was ones over 90 days old but this number is bigger than the unreviewed number by about 150 so it can't be... --K. Peake 14:45, 9 March 2021 (UTC)
 * K. Peake: "Outstanding nominations" are any article that's currently listed on the WP:GAN page, regardless of how old they are or whether they are on hold/on review etc.. For instance, currently the GAN page states: "there are currently 584 nominations listed, of which 438 are waiting to be reviewed." Opening a review on any outstanding, unreviewed nomination can get credit at the drive, although we encourage a focus on older nominations. (t &#183; c)  buidhe  17:48, 9 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Oh thank you for explaining it to me... makes perfect sense now why that number is always higher! --K. Peake 21:37, 9 March 2021 (UTC)
 * K. Peake You're welcome! Thanks for participating in the drive. (t &#183; c)  buidhe  21:45, 9 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Another question that has popped into my mind recently a while after this one was resolved is how do you decide which reviews to check for verifiability first? I ask this because I can tell the order isn't exactly chronological, as you have verified mine in a random order for instance. --K. Peake 10:11, 23 March 2021 (UTC)
 * , For people who are experienced we don't check every nom, but every other one or every third one. I try to be a bit random to make it less predictable which are going to be checked. (t &#183; c)  buidhe  10:15, 23 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Yeah that makes for interesting surprises, rather than knowing that my oldest/newest noms will be assessed first! At least everything will have been gone over by the end of the drive, thankfully. --K. Peake 12:53, 23 March 2021 (UTC)

Regarding your edit
Hi, you edited the page Presidency of Ram Nath Kovind, and removes the Gallery of Images and Foreign State Visits of President, on issue that no independent sources are cited. I agree on the second issue, and will site independent sources like news articles on these topics, kindly tell me why have you deleted gallery of images, and will it be fine if I use images with the State Visits of Presidents each country's paragraph, rather than a gallery? Kindly suggest me other improvements if required. Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 06:33, 23 March 2021 (UTC)
 * , You should not have a gallery of images when the gallery does not add encyclopedic value. If you've seen one pic of Kovind shaking hands with a foreign leader, 20 more of them do not add to the reader's understanding. Instead, use just a couple pictures to illustrate next to the text. See Presidency of Jimmy Carter for good use of images. (t &#183; c)  buidhe  06:46, 23 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Sure, thanks for suggesting me an sample article, I understand, and would include only 4-5 images wherever necessary, can I include the State Visits of Presidents, but by citing independent news articles and writing a brief summary rather than the speech? Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 06:50, 23 March 2021 (UTC)
 * , can I include the State Visits of Presidents, but by citing independent news articles and writing a brief summary rather than the speech? Yes, that's fine. But it's also better if sources cover it to try to answer, "why did the president visit this country?" "what is he hoping to achieve with the visit?" "did he achieve it?" etc. (t &#183; c)  buidhe  06:53, 23 March 2021 (UTC)

Books discussion close
I'm not exactly a fan of snow-closing a 10-day discussion which effectively deprecates linking to an entire namespace, especially when there have multiple other discussions with opposition to the idea (indicating a lack of advertisement). Would you consider reverting and/or tossing a rfc on it? Izno (talk) 15:38, 23 March 2021 (UTC)
 * It's not a snow close, per WP:RfC "An RfC should last until enough comment has been received that consensus is reached...There is no required minimum or maximum duration...". I think that the discussion was sufficiently well-attended and consensus was nearly unanimous. (t &#183; c)  buidhe  23:16, 23 March 2021 (UTC)
 * It was not advertised as an RFC. No tag, a listing at CENT that was a handful of days, and you still do not seem willing to recognize that there has been previous opposition (as I said, indicating a lack of advertisement). That's concerning. Please reopen. Izno (talk) 00:04, 24 March 2021 (UTC)

Murder of Rachel Nickell page move
Hi Buidhe. I saw that you recently closed the Talk:Killing_of_Rachel_Nickell and moved the article from "Murder of Rachel Nickell" to "Killing of Rachel Nickell" stating that "There is a consensus that the word "murder" is not appropriate to use in the title of this article, as the individual responsible was convicted of manslaughter, not murder." Could you explain where you found "consensus" in the discussion, please? Some1 (talk) 23:35, 23 March 2021 (UTC)
 * That's the argument that most editors made in the discussion; evidently they found it more convincing than the argument in favor of "murder". Consider that WP:COMMONNAME is not the entirety of WP:Article titles policy, there are other aspects, in this case WP:POVTITLE and WP:BLP also apply. (t &#183; c)  buidhe  23:41, 23 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Although it is an essay, please realize that discussions, especially article move discussions, aren't based on Supervotes or the closer's preferences. To repeat my comment at the RM discussion: "all of the supports came in before the RfC regarding murder/killing/death/etc. article titling was mentioned." Even the editor who started the move request crossed out their initial concerns after learning about the RfC and said to use the term that reliable sources use instead. I also asked the admin who closed the RfC for further clarification at User_talk:Barkeep49, and they stated that yes the Consensus to use COMMONNAME (which was a strong consensus) certainly still applies in cases such as this one (where the killer was charged with manslaughter) and explanatory supplement [such as the flowchart and WP:DEATHS] remains up to date but crucially in that RfC there was no consensus to make it a guideline." Coffeeandcrumbs provided a Google Ngrams link  for the WP:COMMONNAME evaluation, which shows that the COMMONNAME for the article is 'Murder of Rachel Nickell', even long after the conviction. Even WP:POVTITLE says Sometimes that common name includes non-neutral words that Wikipedia normally avoids... In such cases, the prevalence of the name, or the fact that a given description has effectively become a proper noun (and that proper noun has become the usual term for the event), generally overrides concern that Wikipedia might appear as endorsing one side of an issue. I also want to point out that none of the editors in the discussion used "WP:POVTITLE" as a rationale for their vote; which makes me think your move was based on a WP:SUPERVOTE and your personal preferences instead. I kindly ask that you please revert your move. Some1 (talk) 00:05, 24 March 2021 (UTC)
 * You're the one asking me to supervote in contrast to the clear consensus of editors in the discussion. (t &#183; c)  buidhe  00:11, 24 March 2021 (UTC)

 * I've argued before that all our death of, killing of, murder of articles should be at Death of X. That would avoid all these complications. SarahSV (talk) 00:23, 24 March 2021 (UTC)

 * These article moves should be closed based on article titling policy, not on a "vote tally" or a SUPERVOTE. As I stated before, all of the Support votes came in before the relevant article naming RfC was mentioned, and after it was mentioned, the editor who initiated the RfC then crossed out their initial concerns and said to go with what reliable sources use instead . Then no new votes came in after. Some1 (talk) 00:41, 24 March 2021 (UTC)

LGBT rights in Poland
Please stop undoing what i added. Why do you think the source must give these specific items? Why not points like: "anti-discrimination laws in bakeries / mines / steel mills ..."? Why not even more detailed as: "anti-discrimination laws at business meetings in companies from 100 to 250 people"? So why do you say that the statement "if the constitution says any reason means all areas" is the original interpretation. For everyone "any reason" means in all of this areas, so this is not an original interpretation, just an obvious statement. Then, are you saying that I can start a bakery and say that I don't sell bread to LGBT people? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mega Super RiGCz (talk • contribs) 10:46, 25 March 2021 (UTC)


 * Mega Super RiGCz : The Constitution of Poland never mentions LGBT, homosexuals, or gay. Which groups are protected by anti-discrimination protections and what constitutes "discrimination" is not something that can be deduced from this document. For example, US, Austria, Taiwan and other supreme courts have ruled that not allowing same-sex couples to marry is illegal discrimination against homosexuals. But the Polish legal system does not recognize this as a form of discrimination. Therefore, you have to find a source that explicitly discusses a particular type of discrimination and whether it is recognized as discrimination in the Polish legal system.

GAN Drive Issue

 * Your comment on Talk:The Diving Pool/GA1 appears to bypass certain efforts put into this review.

Firstly, it was recognised that this was principally a Japanese novella in translation; I made a decision on this recognition that if the novella met all critera of GA then it would be accepted. With this in mind, I attended to the criteria regarding writing about fiction and examined MOS:FICTIONAL; I was consciously aware that this was a work of fiction, so exercised care in plot and summary.

In my review, I said, inter-alia, ''Presenting a book sans slabs of text and excerpts is challenging. Well done, here. ''

WP:BOOKPLOT tells me that I must review like so: A primary source may only be used on Wikipedia to make straightforward, descriptive statements of facts that can be verified by any educated person with access to the primary source but without further, specialized knowledge.

So I have to work with reviews of a Japanese novella, tryptich, in translation. I recall that I had 13 pages of references open during this review. I ignored the student newspaper for they are not considered reliable sources; the second Japanese translation confirmed the book won the Akutagawa Prize, considered the most sought after literary prize in Japan. My comments spoke of Follows MOS; all references are reliable sources; (for a Japanese novella, well done) 

I was really pleased I could read all the resources and not end up like I have with J-Pop and all the references are in Japanese. I have encountered same on NPP many times.

It appears you have bypassed issues of concern to the reviewer (me) (original in Japanese), (novella has won sought after literary prize in Japan) and the reception is limited to evaluation of translations.

It is not my place to tell the editor to put in more slabs of text, nor my context, Rudolph Otto and the Idea of the Holy and the usage of numinous and ominous, which gives rise to the idea of horror and the psychological compact of horror on the individual and the interior environment thereby created.

Your reconsideration is invited. --Whiteguru (talk) 02:01, 27 March 2021 (UTC)
 * User:Eddie891, what would you do in this case? I guess in you look at the wikitext the review is long enough, but the actual review text (excluding templating) by Whiteguru is only 555 characters, which is below the 1000-character minimum (or so I thought). And also the review does not give any suggestions for improving the article. (t &#183; c)  buidhe  05:51, 27 March 2021 (UTC)
 * At the end of the day there's a certain amount of coordinators discretion that can be used in cases like these. In the past I have offered half credit for reviews with no actionable comments or really quick quick fails. What would you think about that? Eddie891 Talk Work 11:46, 27 March 2021 (UTC)
 * I have no objection to that. (t &#183; c)  buidhe  11:59, 27 March 2021 (UTC)
 * I should clarify that I don't mean to imply that the review doesn't take hard work to complete or that such reviewing isn't valuable—it certainly is—but my understanding based on WikiProject Good articles/GAN Backlog Drives/March 2021 is that the review does not meet the requirements for being recognized at the drive.

Your close for the RfC on Julia Margaret Cameron
Hi, there. Thank you for taking the time to close the RfC about the infobox image for the Julia Margaret Cameron article.

I have a few concerns about your summary of the discussion.

One is that you did not address how canvassing affected your determination of consensus. The strong consensus to use the restoration came only after this alleged canvassing, which overturned an emerging consensus to use the original.

Another is regarding your statement that “no one has made a case that Adam Cuerden's restoration” is introducing unpublished ideas. The substantive arguments for the unretouched version are arguing just this. In this case, the unpublished idea being introduced (or at least strongly implied) is that the restored version is more like the finished work at the time of completion.

Finally, you wrote that there are no other policies or guidelines relevant to the discussion. I argued that reliable sources should be used for the restorations of artworks. In this guideline, the section on user-generated content seems particularly relevant. Was this argument considered?

If you addressed these concerns, preferably in the closing statement for the RfC, I would be grateful. Thanks again for your contribution here. Qono (talk) 05:03, 31 March 2021 (UTC)
 * This map is not considered to be original research. The map is significantly different from its sources, otherwise it would be a copyright violation. Why would this map, drawn by a Wikimedian, not be original research but the restored photo is? That is never explained by those who oppose the restored version.
 * Second, there is nothing in canvassing policy that explains how to close discussions. In this case, I see most of the editors adding their own viewpoint so I don't believe they're acting as meatpuppets. Furthermore, posts like this are not really canvassing in my opinion, since Adam did not ask other editors to participate in the discussion or even say that it was open. (t &#183; c)  buidhe  14:55, 31 March 2021 (UTC)
 * You’re right that canvassing policy doesn’t directly address closures, but it does clearly label it as inappropriate and disruptive to consensus-building. Advice on closing discussions (though an essay, not a guideline) says that canvassed editors “will normally get little to no weight” and that it may result in a determination that “Consensus cannot be evaluated.” Maybe good to know, but moot if you don’t think the flood of posts was the result of canvassing.
 * As for original research, I don’t want to relitigate the case here, but I think comparing an original illustrated map to a modified work of art is drawing a false equivalence. I can’t think of two images that are less alike. I would say again that the difference is explained in my argument where I compare this modification to a "correction" of a poem using non-standard grammar.
 * I also might say that I’m not questioning the use of all modified or original images on Wikipedia, but more narrowly questioning the modification of original works of art in articles about the art and the artists. In the end, I think the arguments based on determining the subject and purpose of the image were compelling. If the purpose of the image is to depict the person and not the artwork, the potential clarity offered by a retouched version has value. If the purpose is to depict the artwork, perhaps not so much.
 * Thanks again for the close and for this quick reply. Qono (talk) 15:34, 31 March 2021 (UTC)

April 2021 WikiProject Military History Reviewing Drive
Hey y'all, the April 2021 WikiProject Military History Reviewing Drive begins at 00:01 UTC on April 1, 2021 and runs through 23:59 UTC on April 31, 2021. Points can be earned through reviewing articles on the AutoCheck report, reviewing articles listed at WP:MILHIST/ASSESS, reviewing MILHIST-tagged articles at WP:GAN or WP:FAC, and reviewing articles submitted at WP:MILHIST/ACR. Service awards and barnstars are given for set points thresholds, and the top three finishers will receive further awards. To participate, sign up at WikiProject_Military_History/April 2021 Reviewing Drive and create a worklist at WikiProject Military history/April 2021 Reviewing Drive/Worklists (examples are given). Further details can be found at the drive page. Questions can be asked at the drive talk page. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 17:23, 31 March 2021 (UTC)

On unclosed reviews
Hi Buidhe, and many thanks for being so diligent in checking reviews and handling queries. As the drive will be ending shortly, it may be worth keeping in mind that credit can still be offered if a review is open but substantial work has already been done. For instance, even if Talk:Strom Thurmond filibuster of the Civil Rights Act of 1957/GA1 is not closed by tomorrow, I would be inclined to offer credit because it's clear the brunt of the review has been conducted. It comes down to your discretion, but I tend to look to offer credit rather than deny it. Again, thank you so much. Best, Eddie891 Talk Work 19:55, 31 March 2021 (UTC)
 * , Right, I noticed this in the instructions, it states: "Article reviews started before 31 March but completed after 31 March can be included in the running total – however should be completed as quickly as possible to avoid being too late." I guess what you're saying is I should evaluate based on the progress that's made of 31 March rather then wait for the review to be closed? (t &#183; c)  buidhe  19:59, 31 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Yes, that's exactly right. Just as comments cannot be left before 1 March, comments after 31 March shouldn't count, within reason. Bst, Eddie891 Talk Work 20:01, 31 March 2021 (UTC)

Please revert your non-admin close of this controversial RM discussion and relist it instead
At Talk:Virtual_reality_headset your closing statement clearly misses the point and sounds more like a supervote where you say "Wikipedia should reflect general usage on this point" (though I recognized you may have meant to attribute that to the opposers, not yourself). Your suggestion "A general RfC on the hyphenation of virtual reality, as suggested by Masem, may help to establish overall consensus" seems way wrong, as the issue here has nothing to do with virtual reality; it's about Wikipedia style. Please revert and relist, and let an admin with more experience in controversial RMs close it. Dicklyon (talk) 22:48, 2 April 2021 (UTC)
 * "Wikipedia should reflect general usage on this point" is clearly marked as an argument by opposers. WP:Commonname does not say whether it includes punctuation, so I do not consider that an inadmissible argument, although the MOS argument is also reasonable there is clearly sharply divided opinion on this point, hence a no-consensus close is appropriate. Last, I wager that by this point I actually have more experience in closing controversial RMs than many admins! (t &#183; c)  buidhe  22:56, 2 April 2021 (UTC)
 * I agree with Dicklyon. <b style="color:darkgreen">Tony</b> (talk)  01:21, 3 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Yeah, this close is faulty because: a) "opposers note that most usage (in both generalized and specialized sources) does not use the hyphen" is the WP:CSF fallacy, and right from the start I showed other high-quality and independent sources like Encyclopaedia Britannica using the hyphen; i.e., you and they have ignored source . And b) "Wikipedia should reflect general usage on this point" supervoting; it's an opinion which is not supported by WP:P&G, and this has also already been explained in great detail in the course of the discussion (WP:COMMONNAME has nothing to do with style matters, and WP does not follow a style variance, like dropping of hyphenation, unless that variance is essentially universal for that topic in RS, which is clearly not the case if Encyclopaedic Britannica and other sources are found, within seconds of looking, not following that variance). I.e., you treated this as a numeric vote, and sided with the numerical majority who also agree with your own viewpoint. That's a supervote and a faulty close, both for WP:NOTAVOTE reasons and for failure to discern which arguments have a basis in fact and policy and which are WP:ILIKEIT and WP:CSF/WP:SSF fallacies.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  03:15, 3 April 2021 (UTC)

Eurovision Song Contest
Hi Buidhe. I have removed again the image you have inserted into the lead space of Eurovision Song Contest. The article has just gone through a lengthy GA, when images and placement of them was discussed. Putting a poor quality and unclear image into the lead, where it floats inappropriately and the wrong size under the infobox is not helpful, which is why it was removed previously. There is already a logo in the infobox which provides an identifying image for those who hover over a link. The poor quality, small image of an audience, without any sense of where that audience is or what they are watching does not help any reader, nor does it identity Eurovision. If you feel that the article could benefit from an additional image in the lead, it should be placed in the infobox, and chosen with care. If you feel strongly about this matter, please raise the issue on the article talkpage, and seek some consensus for what would be the most appropriate lead image for the article. SilkTork (talk) 03:12, 3 April 2021 (UTC)
 * , The logo image does not show up in the preview, as you would have noticed if you tried it! (Nor does it really help identify what Eurovision is). Under such circumstances, putting an image below the infobox is reasonable solution for getting an identifying image into the preview without cluttering the infobox too much. Furthermore, I do not agree that it is "poor quality" or "unclear", but if you think there is a better image to use, please feel free to swap with another image of your choice. I do not see anywhere in the GA review where appropriate lead image was discussed so I don't think that's a good argument. (t &#183; c)  buidhe  03:20, 3 April 2021 (UTC)
