RM moratoria?
Hello Buidhe. A moratorium against requested moves of 18 months has been proposed at Talk:Allahabad. The length seems excessive to me, but WP:MORATORIUM does not have any specific guidelines about the length of moratoria. Do you have any guidance on how to decide the length of an RM moratorium? Rublov (talk) 14:56, 6 October 2021 (UTC)


 * I don't think that there's one accepted length for moratoria. One year is typical, imposed for instance at Czech Republic and Kyiv, so I don't think 18 months is beyond the pale. (t &#183; c)  buidhe  15:08, 6 October 2021 (UTC)

Last, last, last request (probably) of the year
Hi Buidhe, I hope you're well? I've got 2013 FA Cup Final running at FAC and I was hoping you'd be able to take a look and give me an image review? I realise you've done a lot of these for me lately, for which I'm very thankful, and that this request is thus somewhat cheeky, so feel free to pass it over! All the best. The Rambling Man (Keep wearing the mask...) 15:24, 6 October 2021 (UTC)


 * No worries. Seriously don't hesitate to ask. I mean the worst thing that happens is I'm busy and don't get around to it :) You do a ton of reviewing so you should get that back in some way! (t &#183; c)  buidhe  12:19, 7 October 2021 (UTC)

Hi Buidhe, I came across this article which has just been nominated for DYK. I am slightly skeptical of some of the claims ("saved" is used 4 times) and the sourcing seems slightly dubious quality. It isn't really my area, and I wondered if you might be able to take a quite look? Many thanks. —Brigade Piron (talk) 12:05, 10 October 2021 (UTC)

Emil Utitz and Theresienstadt sources / images
Hi Buidhe, it seems you are our local Theresienstadt expert. I'm (slowly) trying to write an article about Emil Utitz, a philosopher who was head of the Theresienstadt library and later wrote a book about the camp. The draft is currently in my sandbox. I was wondering whether you have come across Utitz and have any sources to share; in particular, have you seen any free images? There is a still of Utitz giving a talk from Theresienstadt (1944 film), but I find the copyright status of that confusing. Kurt Gerron was killed in Auschwitz in 1944, but Ivan Frič only died in 2001. And I have no idea whether that even matters... —Kusma (talk) 22:15, 12 October 2021 (UTC)


 * , Yes, the 1944 film is still in copyright. According to German law at least, films are usually considered a collective work where everyone who worked on the film has part of the copyright, and the copyright expires 70 years after the last surviving author. I believe it is the same in Czechia. However, any Czechoslovak-origin photographs published (as opposed to created) before 1946 and without a stated author are public domain (you can use the template PD-Czechoslovakia-anon on Commons). There are various serials from this era posted online by Czech and Slovak  libraries, and in fact I've uploaded a bunch of photographs this way, but it isn't easy to search for images of a specific person. I don't have any free images of Utitz specifically. (t &#183; c)  buidhe  02:19, 13 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the information. I guess the Theresienstadt Papers haven't been "published" until 2002 either, so the photos from there (like ) aren't free either. I'll probably have to claim fair use on something. —Kusma (talk) 08:32, 13 October 2021 (UTC)
 * I believe that's correct, which is why fair use uploads are allowed. (t &#183; c)  buidhe  14:59, 13 October 2021 (UTC)

Article is done for the moment (still missing a proper discussion of his works, but good enough for mainspace): Emil Utitz. Should you come across his name in any Theresienstadt research you do, please let me know (or add to the article). Thanks again for your comments on the image copyright situation. —Kusma (talk) 21:13, 17 October 2021 (UTC)

Peacock flag
Hi Buidhe, You added a 'Peacock'-template to the page New Pride Flag. I agree with you; the text was too 'promotional', although there was no commercial aspect to it, and words were used that were not in the sources provided. I tried to clean it up, because I do think it is a relevant subject for Wikipedia; this alternative 'rainbow flag' is used to include more marginalized groups and acknowledge the racism that still exists in the LHBT movements. Would you take a look to see if the template can be removed? Thank you, Laurier (talk) 06:02, 21 October 2021 (UTC)


 * Hi I agree your changes are a considerable improvement to the article, but I'm not sure it's notable in the wikipedia sense. The sources cited either seem to be primary sources or just mention the flag, indicating that WP:GNG is not met. Other pride flag variations are already covered in Rainbow flag (LGBT) so the content could be merged there. (t &#183; c)  buidhe  10:33, 21 October 2021 (UTC)


 * Thanks, I agree it could be a good idea to just integrate (most of) the text and the image on the page Rainbow flag (LGBT). Laurier (talk) 11:05, 21 October 2021 (UTC)

Imia/Kardak's closure
Editor Buidhe did not follow the spirit and intent of WP:RMCI when they closed the move request at because they were involved in several other disputes between me and other participants just prior to the Move Request, which me doubtful that they are truly capable to close it impartially and determining objectively the consensus, not just by considering the preferences of the participants in a given discussion, but also by evaluating their arguments, assigning due weight accordingly, and giving due consideration to the relevant consensus of the Wikipedia community in general as reflected in applicable policy, guidelines and naming conventions. Buidhe has ignored completely Wikipedia's WP:NEUTRAL guidelines, ignored what the majority of the sources do say, and has failed to comply with Wikipedia's applicable policies and naming conventions. Administrator EdJohnston suggested that I seek admin closure and that's what I want to do. Buidhe, please revert your closure of the RfC and let an admin do that. Thank you. - ❖ SilentResident ❖ (talk &#9993; &#124; contribs &#9998;) 19:52, 24 October 2021 (UTC)


 * Hi SilentResident, I don't consider myself involved because I have not substantially edited in the topic area of Aegean dispute. The move had high participation and its time period had expired. Move requests are not required to be closed by admins and in fact I have more experience with move closures than many admins do. (t &#183; c)  buidhe  20:02, 24 October 2021 (UTC)
 * You were involved in not just one but TWO disputes, one at Killing of Zak Kostopoulos and one at Pushbacks in Greece. The latter one is still ongoing between you and some of the MR voters including me. So no thank you. I prefer listen to EdJohnston's and request closure by an univolved admin. Thank you. --- ❖ SilentResident ❖ (talk &#9993; &#124; contribs &#9998;) 20:05, 24 October 2021 (UTC)
 * What does that have to do with this move request? If editors could not close moves involving any editors that they interacted with, it would be difficult to close any move requests at all! (t &#183; c)  buidhe  20:08, 24 October 2021 (UTC)
 * @SR, I am not against an admin making the closure, but it is very obvious that "No consensus, not moved" will be the result no matter who makes the closure. After some 10 years on Wikipedia you should know that nobody would close such a controversial and balanced discussion with sth other than "no consensus". And "no consensus" in this case means "not moved". Feel free to suggest another name if the current one concerns you so much - of course, that assuming that your issue is the double name thing rather than a desire to see the article of a rock contested between Greek and Turkish silly nationalists have the Greek name only. Ktrimi991 (talk) 20:09, 24 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Buidhe, your judgement is not impartial. First you were involved in unresolved disputes against me and now, on top of that, you came and closed the MR I initiated, even though it is about a sensitive topic and where you ignored the WP:COMMONNAME, WP:NPOV, the naming guidelines and arguments of editors. I ask that you revert your closure of the RM right away and let someone else do it. Thank you. --- ❖ SilentResident ❖ (talk &#9993; &#124; contribs &#9998;) 20:11, 24 October 2021 (UTC)

if the Greek name was really my concern here, then I wouldn't wait 13 whole years and initiate the MR only after I went to the List of Disputes Territories and notice Imia/Kardak being the *only* article here to not follow the same naming guidelines as all the other articles in that Topic Area do. Maybe you are fine with double standards, i.e support single names for Kosovo places and double names for Aegean places but I am not. I prefer that the NPOV rules, the common practices and rationale are respected, as proven recently at Albanians in Greece: Requested Move 18 September 2021] where you also participated in the discussion and where I fully supported Move Request per WP:CONSISTENCY (this article was the only one to not be titled in line with the other articles in the Albanian Diaspora Topic Area), on the condition that the WP:NEUTRAL concerns are addressed. I hope you don't have any difficulties remembering my firm stance on such matters in the recent past, or troubles understanding what WP:CONSISTENCY is? And Buidhe, I hope you understand that there is nothing personal here against you, the RM closure has to be done by someone not involved in any disputes in the same topic area. Wish you the best, and a good day. - ❖ SilentResident ❖ (talk &#9993; &#124; contribs &#9998;) 02:32, 25 October 2021 (UTC)

New Pride Flag merger
Hi Buidhe, it looks to me like something went wrong with the New Pride Flag merger discussion that you initiated, as the "Discuss" does not link to any merger discussion or proposal and the Rainbow flag (LGBT) article is not tagged.

Your comments on the Battle of the Granicus
Hello, some time ago you commented on Featured article candidates/Battle of the Granicus/archive1. I didn't have to time to respond before the discussion there closed and took a break from Wikipedia afterwards, so I'm responding on your talk page now. I had some questions and comments. 1) I will eventually submit the article for WP:GAN or WP:MILHIST/ACR. 2) Didn't know about the dodgyness of Cambridge Scholars Publishing, but judging from what I find on him Krystzof Nawotka is legit. 3) Thank you for fixing the citations. 4) That paragraph was the lead paragraph of that section and intended as a summary of the subsections below, but I understand the requirement and have made the required changes. 5) I don't think the sole link to Turkey is overlinking because it allows readers to inform themselves on the modern country where the ancient battle took place. As for the link to archers, it linked specifically to the subsection on archers in the article on the ancient Macedonian army. I'll take care to review the article again for possible overlinking before I submit it for another good article or featured article nomination. 6) I will take another look at the lead paragraph before a new nomination. --AlexanderVanLoon (talk) 14:00, 27 October 2021 (UTC)

Okay, I think the new article, which became 'Rise of Christianity in Roman Empire', is now ready for you to look at and critique. Take what time you can. I know without asking that you will be fair and thorough. I value your input. Jenhawk777 (talk) 16:34, 14 October 2021 (UTC)


 * I'm willing to take a look but where is it? Wikipedia search tool can't find it. (t &#183; c)  buidhe  18:22, 14 October 2021 (UTC)
 * It's still sitting in my sandbox where you first saw it: []. Should it be moved? Jenhawk777 (talk) 20:07, 14 October 2021 (UTC)
 * It would be easier to load if you took the content intended for this article and moved it to a separate page, whether in user, draft, or article space. You have a lot of stuff in your sandbox! Another issue for me is that it doesn't really seem to be about "rise of Christianity in the Roman Empire". If so, you would expect it to take a chronological approach and focus on demographics, establishment of church institutions, missionaries to unchurched areas, etc. Even in the part of your article that do touch on this issue seem to focus on "how" without really touching on "what" (perhaps because it's too disputed)? It seems that the topic you are trying to write about might be "theories for the rise of Christianity in the Roman Empire" or "causes of the rise of Christianity in the Roman Empire" (compare: causes of the Armenian genocide). But take that with a grain of salt because it could be there is not so much undisputed "what" to cover. (t &#183; c)  buidhe  20:21, 14 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Okay, it's here: I attempted to adjust the title so it 's really awkward right now.  It isn't a survey of theories, tho it mentions them, and it isn't a survey of demographics though it's also mentioned. It's a survey of attractiveness, pro and con, and whether or not that is an explanation for its rapid growth. Jenhawk777 (talk) 20:41, 14 October 2021 (UTC)

Mirror Go
You have closed Talk:Mirror Go as "no consensus" but also stated "the majority of participants in this discussion favor the current title" given the page was at the proposed title from its creation in 2006 up until a few hours before the RM started shouldn't it be returned if its "no consensus" per WP:RMNOMIN especially given the similar RM at Talk:Four go houses that proposed moving from the longstanding title was also "no consensus". I have no strong opinion either way but I'm just pointing out that if it was simply "no consensus" rather than a rough consensus to retain the upper case it should be reverted.  Crouch, Swale  ( talk ) 18:30, 27 October 2021 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your comment. The reason I consider it "no consensus" is that consensus is not a matter of vote-counting and different rules could apply depending on which editor you ask. The issue of G/go capitalization is being discussed centrally with a proposal of standardization. I would not move it back until those discussions have wrapped up, at which point if there is no consensus to standardize it should be moved back to its previous title. (t &#183; c)  buidhe  21:40, 27 October 2021 (UTC)
 * I agree with Crouch, Swale. On purely procedural grounds, I think a finding of "No consensus" should have resulted in moving the article back to the stable title, per WP:TITLECHANGES. (Though it's looking like the Go capitalization RfC may moot this.) Colin M (talk) 18:46, 29 October 2021 (UTC)


 * Funny i came here to post about something unrelated, but I am actually a very experienced Go player and reader of Go books, etc. And I went to check the RM. It should stay capitalized, FYI.  Yeah, chess is not capitalized, but Go is, in universal/widespread usage.  I will go look for the RfC just mentioned.--Doncram (talk) 02:07, 3 November 2021 (UTC)

WikiProject Colorado meeting Tuesday November 9
Hi, I got mediawiki message, and will plan to attend the meeting (7:30 pm MDT). I assume you are behind it, making it happen, thank you for doing that! By the way, there was a goal I believe i expressed to you and/or to the first meeting this year, which was to bring every Colorado county up to 50 percent coverage, in terms of there being articles, of National Register of Historic Places-listed places. I was originally hoping to get help working towards that, but have plugged along mostly by myself, no problem. And, by the way, the goal has pretty much been met: see, and note that Colorado is now in the red shades, has no counties in the blue shades. (Well, at least if you don't zoom in on Denver.) Whereas, say, this version as of March 2020 had a bunch of blue counties. The big tabulation of all counties' stats in Colorado and everywhere else is at wp:NRHPPROGRESS. I dunno if it could be helpful for you to know this recent accomplishment was a result of the WikiProject Colorado meetings, which motivated me to work along on this!

Image and Copyright?
Hi Buidhe, thanks for deleting the Joyce photos. It was a shame to see some of the pictures that have been there for years go. The 1915 Joyce is particularly frustrating, as I could at least track that the photographer Alexander Ehrenzweig-Klantitza was active in Zürich between 1914-1927, but no notification of death. But I think I see the rationale and get the basic rule.. If its been orphaned, don't use on Wikipedia. It makes sense and is easy to follow.
 * After the photos were removed I started doing the research on orphan works. There's a lot of contradictory information. It seems to imply that orphan works before 1923 work according to different rules than ones afterwards. But then I saw there was some type of issue with copyright protection by the estate of Pound about a picture of him and his mother from 1898, though I couldn't track the details.   It makes sense, this article by Spoo indirectly addresses how the estate of modernist authors try to maintain both control on the author's image and any possible royalties.  But is there a place in Wikipedia or Wikimedia commons that discusses this issue or addresses the nuances or particular solutions to this problem? Much of the knowledge seems implicit. Regardless, thank you very much!  Appreciatively, Wtfiv (talk) 18:34, 11 November 2021 (UTC)

Requested review of one image
Hello Buidhe. I'd like to request your expert advice again, if possible. Does of a play-by-mail game title meet the requirements for PD-text? I wasn't sure if the "unoriginal information" part of PD-text applied. My best guess is no and it's OK since of another play-by-mail game image also has the game title in it but met PD-text.

That raises another question though. The uploader asked if a free image couldn't be used as a replacement. I said no since this shows how the publishers displayed it in a magazine in 1984 and also I don't know what fonts they used. But (1) are there web-based tools to tell what fonts these are, and (2) would re-creating the image be advisable for use on Wikipedia? Personally, I think the original image from 1984 shows how the game has changed from a play-by-mail game in an earlier era to a play-by-web game today, but wondering what is possible as well. Appreciate your time! --Airborne84 (talk) 14:19, 17 November 2021 (UTC)


 * I believe the first image should be ok for PD-text because it's just a few words in a typeface. Free image as replacement only applies for non-free images so wouldn't be relevant in this case. I do not know how to figure out what fonts are used, sorry. (t &#183; c)  buidhe  18:50, 17 November 2021 (UTC)

I need your genius level intellect
If I remember correctly, you were the technical guru who created this for me right? Can you be a darling and create a userbox that says “ ? Lmao, Buidhe, I swear I’m not even goofing around see this which was the inspiration for WP:NOSORCERY written by, forgive the digression, can you create that userbox for me? I’d be grateful.

DYK
Oíche mhaith, Buidhe. I was having a look through the list of outstanding DYK noms to review one for a QPQ and noticed you have one that has stalled for a while with some thorny issues—I'm not familiar with the subject and have no ties or interest there so if you want a fresh set of eyes at the article/nomination I should be able to carve some time out on Monday to look it over. Let me know if you're happy enough to have a second (?) opinion there. ᵹʀᴀᴘᴘʟᴇ ꭗ 23:25, 21 November 2021 (UTC)


 * Thanks, . I have recently made edits to the article to increase sourcing quality. Of course I'm not sure if they will be reverted tomorrow so I'd advise you to check the article history. (t &#183; c)  buidhe  01:10, 22 November 2021 (UTC)

Capitalisations in Article Titles
When you closed this Talk:Syrian civil war/Archive 50 discussion you referred to MOS:CAPS and WP:MILMOS those cover article content style not article titles. For the latter you should refer to WP:AT (section WP:TITLEFORMAT) and its explanitory guideline Naming conventions (capitalization). In this case it would make no difference to the close, but it is better to stick to the policy and the naming conventions, because the policy follows the sources while the MOS is more proscriptive. — PBS (talk) 17:52, 23 November 2021 (UTC)


 * , my understanding is that WP:AT in the section you link states "words [in article titles] are not capitalized unless they would be so in running text" and whether they would be capitalized in running text is something that's determined by MOS:CAPS. I could be wrong but I see all three pages as relevant for article title capitalization. (t &#183; c)  buidhe  20:56, 23 November 2021 (UTC)

your rm in plastic card
With all due respect, what I had "copied" was not the complete sentence word by word, but the facts (record high and total revenue). How would you suggest to present these without alarming anyone? As it stands, you have removed significant information without offering any significant help. I reintroduced the bare facts together with the most relevant ref. May I ask you to review again and remove the copyvio tag, please. -- Kku (talk) 07:08, 24 November 2021 (UTC)


 * Hi, it's essential to change the wording so it's different from the source—otherwise you run afoul of copyvio or close paraphrasing. Thanks to your rewrite, the current article version won't need to be changed but the previous revisions are subject to revision deletion. An admin will delete previous revisions but leave the current one. (t &#183; c)  buidhe  07:27, 24 November 2021 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of David Ochoa (disambiguation)


The article David Ochoa (disambiguation) has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Disambiguation page not required (WP:2DABS). Primary topic has hatnote to only other use."

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

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Adding deletions to backlog drive
Hi thanks for coordinating the November NPP backlog drive. I use Twinkle for deletions, so they are not showing up in the backlog drive leaderboard. I have worked exclusively on the new pages queue this month, so all of the deletions below relate to articles found in the queue.
 * PRODs – 2, one deleted and the other redirected
 * SD nominations – 51, mostly deleted, a few not.
 * AfDs – my log shows 30 nominations – of those already closed, all have been deleted. However three of these nominations are bundled:
 * Karate at the 2016 Pekan Olahraga Nasional is a bundle of eight
 * 2017 Cadet, Junior and U21 Karate World Championship is a bundle of ten
 * Western Iraq is a bundle of five.

This gives a total of 51 AFDs from NPP in November.

Recent move closure
Hello, I thought I'd let you know about some important information regarding a recent move request you closed at Undocumented immigrant population of the United States. While the !votes at this discussion were overwhelmingly in favor of the move, this appears to be a case of pure turnout because there is still significant pushback against using this term. Several discussions in recent history (for example, here (note that all respondents from this discussion were pinged; I was the only one who opposed the move who responded) and here; there are others) find significant opposition to the use of "undocumented immigrant" on the argument that it is a wp:EUPHEMISM, and is not neutral, as well as that it is not currently (yet) the common name. I'm not disputing your actions here, I'm just letting you know that while the move you you recently closed may give the appearance of consensus on the usage of these terms, other discussions suggest otherwise. Bneu2013 (talk) 18:04, 30 November 2021 (UTC)


 * Hi Bneu2013, although you're correct that moves are decided based on arguments, not headcount, I don't think it would be possible to close the move any other way given that no one else who participated in the discussion that I closed agreed with your conclusion that "undocumented" is euphemistic. Even in the other move discussion that you link, there are multiple editors arguing for the use of "undocumented immigrants" without moving the "illegal immigration" articles. This move request is a logical follow-up to that one. I suggest you go to Move review if you want to overturn the move. (t &#183; c)  buidhe  01:06, 1 December 2021 (UTC)


 * I'm not going to appeal it. Move review is an absolute joke. The second discussion I linked lists significant opposition to the use of the word "undocumented" in all contexts, however, and there are plenty of others. I expect this issue will come up again in the future. Bneu2013 (talk) 02:27, 1 December 2021 (UTC)

Sadhguru move
I'd like to know how you were satisfied that it wasn't an honorific and was neutral when past moves and move reviews considered otherwise? Or did you think usage was enough to overcome WP:NPOVNAME? Hemanthah (talk) 08:07, 1 December 2021 (UTC)


 * Hemanthah, there seems to be consensus in the discussion that the usage was sufficient to outweigh concerns about POVNAME. (t &#183; c)  buidhe  08:29, 1 December 2021 (UTC)
 * I saw repeated assertions of common usage in the discussion but nobody explained why so many reliable sources (g-books g-newspapers) continue to use his given name instead of just Sadhguru, if that was so common. It'd be helpful to know which argument convinced you that it was so overwhelmingly common as to overcome neutrality. Hemanthah (talk) 09:24, 1 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Hi Hemanthah, it's not a question of one argument that convinced me as I have to look at the entire discussion. For a popular figure like Sadhguru/Jaggi Vasudev, your argument that many sources use his given name isn't convincing unless you are comparing that to the number of sources that use the nickname. For example the Google Books search suggest that the sources that label him "Jaggi Vasudev" also use the appellation Sadhguru, while the sources that call him Sadhguru don't often use the given name. (t &#183; c)  buidhe  09:34, 1 December 2021 (UTC)
 * That's the thing though. If my argument isn't convincing, how is the claim 'Sadhguru is most common' convincing; especially when comparison wasn't even attempted in the discussion (apart from a single dubious Google fight)? Here are books which don't use Sadhguru at all. On a WP:BLP page, shouldn't it be unambiguously clear? Hemanthah (talk) 10:12, 1 December 2021 (UTC)
 * I'm not aware of any special rules for article titles of BLP subjects. The first sentence identifies the subject without any doubt. (t &#183; c)  buidhe  10:28, 1 December 2021 (UTC)

 * Hi, the question of whether in 1939 Hitler was predicting in advance the Final Solution (Mommsen argues that he was not) is separate from the question of what this utterance is called. If you read the article, even Mommsen uses the word "prophecy" to describe it, calling it a "macabre prophecy". (t &#183; c)  buidhe  17:18, 2 December 2021 (UTC)

Hi.

FAR and AfD
I appreciate you starting that FAR on Uncle Tom's Cabin. I hadn't seen the comments on the talk page about improving the article before now and hadn't realized the article needed so much work.

Also, I posted a bunch of new reviews and coverage on Bart Plantenga in response to your vote to delete. Please check it out and let me know what you think. I actually went into the AfDs for the Plantenga article and a related one, on Ron Kolm, thinking I'd also go with delete. But when I researched both subjects I saw enough coverage to convince me they were notable. Best, --SouthernNights (talk) 16:56, 4 December 2021 (UTC)
