Opinion Polling next UK Gen Election: graph
Hi, I understand from user:Impru20 that he will add if polling results for Greens are in the main table for the entire period 2010-2014. Since I learnt that from Impru, 7 days ago, I've added 7+ months of Green Party shares in 2014 and to 31 rows of the 2010 table (that I had to add the new column to first, and is harder, because fewer of teh URLs are correct after 4 years). Perhaps, 81.58.144.30, you want to join me in filling in the data? DrArsenal (talk) 18:20, 17 November 2014 (UTC)


 * OK, thanks for all the work! I'll start adding some old Green Party figures :) Chessrat (talk) 02:46, 18 November 2014 (UTC)


 * I was really pleased to see that you have come back to working on them: it feels like the end is in sight! ...However, can you be more careful, please - I was looking through the diffs of those you did in the early hours, and noticed some obvious errors - a couple of times when you forgot to adjust the 'others' and some where you seem to have wrongly 'corrected' ComRes and ICM polls.  For the ComRes ones I have added notes so editors can see where to look when they think of editing that particular poll - perhaps you could have a look to see why I have put the figures I have in the table?  Please don't let that put you off working on the backlog of Green shares - and please do ask for advice/ideas if you think it will help.  Thanks  DrArsenal (talk) 22:32, 1 December 2014 (UTC)


 * Oh, thanks for spotting that! I had tried to get into a routine of updating "others"- but must have gone too carelessly and missed a few. Sorry about that. Those ComRes tables are very confusing, so I think in the future I'll skip them when doing the general editing, and get back to them later if no one else has finished them. Once again, thanks so much for doing all of this work! Chessrat (talk) 23:40, 1 December 2014 (UTC)


 * Absolutely. I think both Headlightmorning and I have found (having done it strictly by date first) that it is easier to get into a routine of doing a load of polls of one particular pollster before moving on to different pollsters.  DrArsenal (talk) 13:41, 2 December 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for the contributions

 * To be honest, I'm not sure what to tackle next. That October 2011 gap needs filling but the data is currently inaccessible... Same with many 2010 surveys. I don't know if the data has been intentionally been made private or accidentally concealed. Will probably fill in the 2012 gaps once other jobs have been done. And try to find the missing 2010 data. Chessrat (talk) 23:39, 2 December 2014 (UTC)


 * Wow!  Thanks for getting 2010 done.

Oct 2011 YouGovs seem to be the biggest problem, but try as I might, I can't find them. Techniques that have found all sorts of others don't work with them. So, time to ask impru20 to change the 'Graphical Summary', I think? DrArsenal (talk) 07:37, 9 December 2014 (UTC)


 * No problem :) Yep, I've tried to find October 2011 YouGovs as well, but no dice. Short of actually contacting YouGov themself, I think we've done the most we can do. Agreed, time for a graph update. Chessrat (talk) 10:35, 9 December 2014 (UTC)


 * Nvm, found the Oct 2011s. https://yougov.co.uk/news/categories/politics/?page=153 http://cdn.yougov.com/cumulus_uploads/document/2011-10-24/YG-Archives-Pol-Sun-results-241011.pdf Will complete the table.

PROD rationale for Christina Cock (Swedish pioneer)
Technically, the article wasn't recently-created - it was buried in the edit history of a page that had morphed into a page about someone else (see Christina Cock and the deletion and move logs for that page, Christina Cock (Swedish pioneer), and the typo-generated page Christina Cock (Swedish poineer for details). The rest of your rationales are sound.  Please consider re-wording "recently created" in your rationale.  davidwr/  (talk)/(contribs)  21:36, 21 August 2015 (UTC)

HH Ferry route
Hello ! You put an "advertise warning" on a part of the HH Ferry route article. I can see your point, and it was correctly done. It was unintentional bias from my side, due to the time I spend on this article - and could at the time perhaps not see "the forest due to all the trees". I have removed a lot of "coffee breaks" etc. So I wonder if could you kindly could have a new new look at the part. Perhaps even more ought to be removed, and I guess your eyes are not "contaminated" due to many hours, as still may be the case with me in this article. I'm very open for any kind of suggestion to improve the part further. Thanks ! Boeing720 (talk) 07:51, 8 January 2016 (UTC)

Second attempt. I have now reduced the part even further. And as I now find it balanced - and you haven't made any comments (here or in the article), I removed the warning. I you think this was incorrectly done my me, just put it back. (and preferably with some comments to what still is wrong, if thst's the case) Thanks! Boeing720 (talk) 02:53, 12 January 2016 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Dollarydoo


Hello. A tag has been placed on Dollarydoo requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organized event (tour, function, meeting, party, etc.), but it does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

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".

List of chess players by peak FIDE rating
Hi – thanks for all your work on chess articles here! I updated List of chess players by peak FIDE rating, and in the process I also checked the sections on the previous decades that you set up in this edit. I found what seem to be some errors, and before I correct them I wanted to check with you, since the sources for historical FIDE ratings are so shaky that some of this might be due to differences in our sources (or their interpretation). I'm working with the lists at https://ratings.fide.com that go back to 2000 and the earlier ones at OlimpBase (https://olimpbase.com, click on "Elo lists 1971-2001" in the right-hand sidebar). Please let me know whether you come to a different conclusion on any of these items or whether I can make the changes as described. thanks! Joriki (talk) 20:20, 4 August 2021 (UTC)

1970s
The date for Vassily Smyslov's rating of 2620 is stated as 1971-01. According to the OlimpBase list table, the January 1971 list was unofficial and the July 1971 list (where he had the same rating) was the first official FIDE list, so I think that should be 1971-07.

The date for Leonid Stein's rating of 2620 is stated as 1972-01. According to the OlimpBase list table, the only list in 1972 is from July, but I'm not sure how precise the months for these initial lists are – do you have other sources on this? In that table, Leonid Stein is rated 2620, and in the July 1971 list he's only rated 2605, so I think the date for that peak should be 1972-07.

1980s
The date for Ulf Andersson's rating of 2640 is stated as 1983-01. I think this should be 1983-07, as he's rated 2640 on the July 1983 list but only 2630 on the January 1983 list.

1990s
Vassily Ivanchuk is ranked as 9, but he's tied for 8= with Alexei Shirov.

You have a peak of 2712 in 1999-07 for Boris Gelfand, but Gelfand is rated 2713 on the July 1999 list, so he should be tied for 12= with Peter Svidler at 2713.

2000s
You wrote a footnote about the discrepancy in FIDE's data on Kramnik's peak rating in January 2002. I looked into that issue and posted my findings under the existing discussion at Talk:Vladimir Kramnik – I'd be interested in your take on that. As I argue there, I believe the correct rating for January 2002 is 2811. If we do stick with 2809 though, the date should be 2001-10, not 2002-01, since he reached 2809 already in October 2001.

I think Vugar Gashimov's peak at 2758 dated 2009-11 is correct, but he's missing in the complete November 2009 rating list; this rating is only in the November 2009 top 100 ranking list and on his archived personal profile page (which no longer exists on the FIDE site). He doesn't seem to be missing in any of the other lists; it's strange that it happens to be this peak that's missing. (It's not his overall peak rating, which was in the 2010s, but it's his peak ranking at #6. Incidentally, if the 2758 rating in November 2009 should turn out to be wrong, he'd still be in the top 20, with a peak of 2740 at #20 in July 2009.)

Boris Gelfand is ranked as 15 with a peak rating of 2758; if Gashimov's above rating of 2758 is correct, the two should be tied for 14=.

Ruslan Ponomariov's peak is stated as 2741 in 2009-09, but his personal profile page, the top 100 for April 2002 and the complete rating list for April 2002 agree that he was rated 2743 in April 2002, so this should be 2743 dated 2002-04. (That doesn't change his ranking at 20.)

2010s
Viswanathan Anand's peak rating of 2817 is dated 2011-09, but he already reached this rating on the March 2011 list, so this should be 2011-03.

Teimour Radjabov's peak rating of 2793 is dated 2012-10, but he only reached this rating on the November 2012 list; his rating on the October 2012 list was 2792, so this should be 2012-11.

General
It seems that you didn't include inactive players. (For instance, Kasparov's rating of 2812 isn't in the 2010s list, and Fischer's rating of 2780 isn't in the 1990s and 2000s lists.) If so, I think this should be stated?
 * That's the standard- no reliable sources like FIDE report such inactive players in their rating lists. However, there'd be no harm in including a note like that. Chessrat  ( talk, contributions ) 21:53, 4 August 2021 (UTC)
 * The complete FIDE rating lists do include inactive players; there's a flag for that at the end of the line. The top 100 lists don't include them.
 * No comment on any of the other items? Joriki (talk) 22:47, 4 August 2021 (UTC)


 * My apologies- I'd somehow overlooked more sections above that! Thank you very much for your detailed work. Looking at it all...


 * -I used Olimpbase and the FIDE ratings website too, so in the discrepancies you found that is likely a case of error on my part.
 * -Having checked it, everything of the Smyslov, Stein, Andersson, Ivanchuk, Gelfand, Ponomariov, Anand, and Radjabov peaks seem to be what you said.
 * -The footnote about Kramnik was based on one previously existing in his main article. Given your analysis, I think putting the figure at 2811 would be most appropriate, but it's still probably worthwhile to have a footnote there mentioning the source discrepancy.
 * -On Gashimov, I have no idea why he doesn't appear in that FIDE archive but in general the 2758 figure seems accurate from the other sources.
 * -And on the inactive players, I'd be perfectly fine with a footnote mentioning that they're not included. Chessrat  ( talk, contributions ) 23:17, 4 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your rapid response. I made all the changes. Joriki (talk) 10:03, 5 August 2021 (UTC)

Nomination of Panjshir resistance for deletion
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Panjshir resistance is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Articles for deletion/Panjshir resistance until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Chetsford (talk) 02:26, 18 August 2021 (UTC)

New Wikipedia Guideline Proposed which you might be interested in.
Hello. I am letting editors know who participated in the recent discussions that decided whether the Killing of David Amess should be called "killing, murder, or assassination", about a new Wikipedia essay being proposed for a new guideline. The essay, Assassination, explains how the common definition of "assassination" does not determine an article's title. Only reliable sources can determine whether it is murder/killing or assassination. Since you participated in those recent discussions, I wanted to drop a message to you about this new proposal. If you want to leave your opinion about it, you can do so in this discussion. Have a good day and keep up the good editing! Elijahandskip (talk) 01:42, 25 October 2021 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Claude Gruffat


The article Claude Gruffat has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted after seven days unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the prod blp/dated tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can when you are ready to add one. Liz Read! Talk! 14:02, 2 March 2022 (UTC)

List of longest-reigning monarchs
The list of 32 states weren't reduced to 15 on the basis that Elizabeth was alive, they were reduced to 15 on the basis of the paragraph before the first table.

"Twenty-five longest-reigning monarchs of states that were internationally recognized as sovereign for most or all of their reign." (emphasis mine).

This means Elizabeth's passing does not require that all 32 states be included, because 16 of those states were not sovereign for most of her reign, they became sovereign over half way into her reign.

If you think they should all be included (and consolidated), then that'll need to be the subject of an RFC. Though I recommend taking the previous two RFCs into account. El Dubs (talk) 22:10, 13 September 2022 (UTC)

2023 Hamas attacks on Israel move
I understand your reason to move the article to 2023 Hamas attacks on Israel but that should have happened via an RM. This is definitely a WP:PCM as a reasonable person can disagree with the destination title for many reasons: there should be "October" in the title, replace "attacks" with "offensive", replace "Hamas" with "Palestinian militants" etc.VR talk 19:28, 12 October 2023 (UTC)

It was a new article created by a split from 2023 Israel–Hamas war rather than a move of an existing article; I only located it on the same page as the Operation Al-Aqsa Flood redirect for history attribution given the same topic. If you think it would be better to move it to Operation Al-Aqsa Flood and then open an RM for the new title though, by all means feel free to do so.

2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies
I note your suggestion that this article be split, to which I responded with broad agreement. As nobody else seems to have contributed to the discussion, are you happy for me to proceed with this, as the main contributor to the article? No doubt some tidying up would also be desirable. I see you added a table of demographic changes in Northern Ireland. I don't think this level of detail is appropriate for this article which deals with the whole of the UK. I suggest it is included in List of parliamentary constituencies in Northern Ireland. JSboundaryman (talk) 10:29, 2 December 2023 (UTC)


 * I'm currently busy on holiday so perfectly happy for you to proceed with the split. Also fine with the Northern Ireland info being moved as you suggest. Chessrat  ( talk, contributions ) 21:11, 3 December 2023 (UTC)


 * Did you end up moving the table of demographic changes elsewhere? If it got lost in the process of the article split, I'll re-add it to List of parliamentary constituencies in Northern Ireland, but just wanted to make sure I haven't overlooked it being placed elsewhere before I do so.

 * May I ask what "unproosed" means? I've searched for it and can't find any information on it. And I'm not sure in what way you believe the split went against WP:SPLIT- the embassy itself is a very clearly distinct topic to the organization and it is standard for embassies to have their own articles so it's a pretty clear case of WP:CONSPLIT. <b style="color: #c90; font-family: comic sans ms">Chessrat</b> ( talk, contributions ) 15:24, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
 * A simple typo! I had meant, of course, 'not proposed'! Even independently notable topics don't need or warrant separate pages, if they can be discussed better in the context of the broader topic. The Indigenous Coalition for Israel is really short, so having more material consolidated there is helpful. So, the formal reasons for the merge are short text and context (not on the grounds of notability). Please also see Copying within Wikipedia; there were 3 copies of very similar text, the other version previously being at The Friends of Zion Museum. Klbrain (talk) 15:33, 1 March 2024 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Simon Harris (disambiguation)


A tag has been placed on Simon Harris (disambiguation) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G14 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a disambiguation page which either

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time. Please see the disambiguation page guidelines 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".

Deletion discussion about Notional results of the 2019 United Kingdom general election by 2024 constituency
Hello Chessrat, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

While your contributions are appreciated, I wanted to let you know that I've started a discussion about whether an article that you created, Notional results of the 2019 United Kingdom general election by 2024 constituency, should be deleted, as I am not sure that it is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia in its current form. Your comments are welcome at Articles for deletion/Notional results of the 2019 United Kingdom general election by 2024 constituency.

Deletion discussions usually run for seven days and are not votes. Our guide about effectively contributing to such discussions is worth a read. The most common issue in these discussions is notability, but it's not the only aspect that may be discussed; read the nomination and any other comments carefully before you contribute to the discussion. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

Just wanted to say well done for proposing the RM – that article title has been on my list of minor annoyances for a very long time, but I had some very unpleasant experiences with Irish nationalist POV pushers in my early days on Wikipedia and never really fancied dealing with the inevitable flak that would come with it.

Non-admin closure of Articles for deletion/Opinion polling for the next United Kingdom general election
Hi there. I am curious about your decision to close Articles for deletion/Opinion polling for the next United Kingdom general election under WP:SNOW. According to WP:NACAFD, "a closure earlier than seven days may take place if a reason given in either Wikipedia:Speedy keep or Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion applies. Note that, per WP:SK#NOT, this does not authorize WP:SNOW closures." I agree with the outcome but I am concerned the early close may have short-circuited the discussion. Thoughts? Dclemens1971 (talk) 21:33, 15 July 2024 (UTC)


 * @Dclemens1971 Thanks for bringing this to my attention- I had searched through the guidelines to ascertain if there was a rule preventing early closures under WP:SNOW, and evidently overlooked that one. Had I noticed it, rather than performing a non-admin closure I would instead have pinged the AfD creator suggesting they withdraw the nomination, given that their reason for nominating the article for deletion (namely, that no voting intention opinion polls existed) was no longer applicable. <b style="color: #c90; font-family: comic sans ms">Chessrat</b> ( talk, contributions ) 21:42, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
 * After sleeping on it, I thought it would be best to allow other "redirect" !voters to have had a chance to weigh in again, given the new evidence, and for an admin to interpret whether SNOW applied, so I have posted this close at deletion review: Deletion_review. No actual disagreement about the ultimate outcome but want to respect the other redirect voices (like mine; I was actually in the process of updating my !vote when it was closed and I saved my change after the actual close happened).
