I'm pretty sure this is yet another sock of BKFIP. Considering you've been a critic of AARoads Wiki, I wouldn't put it past them to troll you that way. LilianaUwU (talk / contributions) 01:15, 15 March 2024 (UTC)
- Very likely, but who knows with these things when there are so few edits and so many idiots (and very smart dogs) on the internet. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 05:28, 15 March 2024 (UTC)
- So is that why you're tagging multiple road-related articles as failing GNG, even road lists? -------User:DanTD (talk) 04:42, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
- @DanTD: Nothing at all to do with it. I was tagging road-related articles before the harassment started, lists must also meet notability requirements. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 14:13, 25 April 2024 (UTC)

Citrus taiwanica[edit]
It looks like Citrus taiwanica is a synonym of Citrus × aurantium, the bitter orange. Usually I or another editor would simply redirect the article to the accepted name without comment. But Citrus is a popular genus so I thought I would ask you first; is there any reason to believe the Citrus × taiwanica is a legit taxon? Abductive (reasoning) 05:55, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
- @Abductive: That seems backwards... You never presented any reason to believe that its a synonym. Citrus is in general very contentious when it comes to synonyms, you will for example find people who say that Citrus x paradisi and Citrus × aurantium are synonyms... Same with Citrus × sinensis and Citrus × aurantium, yet we have separate pages for Bitter Orange, Sweet Orange, and Grapefruit. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 16:55, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
- The consensus at WP:Wikiproject Plants is to use the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew website Plants of the World Online to determine if a flowering plant taxon is accepted. The POWO entry for Citrus taiwanica says it's a synonym for Citrus × aurantium f. aurantium. Abductive (reasoning) 23:34, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
- Such a consensus has absolutely no bearing on notability etc. Plants is but one of the relevant wikiprojects, it has no more say than any of the others. Thats what I think you're missing... Even if its a variety its a notable one, so it gets a page. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 00:02, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
- Going forward it would be best if you checked POWO if a taxon is accepted before creating an article, and to refrain from creating it if is not. Abductive (reasoning) 01:41, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
- Why? Whether a taxon is accepted or not has no bearing on notability unless there is something I don't understand. The most we would be talking about here is creating the page under a different name with slightly different formatting. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 03:21, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
- Ah, so move it to Citrus × aurantium f. aurantium? Abductive (reasoning) 05:28, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
- I would have no objection at all to such a move. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 15:41, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
- A discussion on this has arisen at WT:WikiProject Plants#POWO lumping Citrus. Abductive (reasoning) 20:24, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

Your thoughts[edit]
Hi @Horse Eye's Back I can see you've done a lot of work on the Australia-China relations article and would like your thoughts. There's a batch of articles from the last three or four years that indicate Australia has been experiencing a coercion campaign; and I think there's enough of them to create a separate article on the topic. Anyway, I've put that suggestion on the talk page and will let the other major contributors know too. MatthewDalhousie (talk) 09:27, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you, have left a brief comment. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 15:06, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
- Much appreciated. MatthewDalhousie (talk) 16:12, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
Requested move for Twitter article[edit]
Your opinion on this issue is requested
You have been tagged to this conversation because you may have previously participated in similar discussions and there has been a notable development. Please consider sharing your views. 𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓔𝓭𝓾𝓬𝓪𝓽𝓲𝓸𝓷 𝓐𝓾𝓭𝓲𝓽𝓸𝓻 23:13, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you @The Education Auditor:, before sharing my views I have asked for a clarification from the OP... But you actually also make that claim here so perhaps you can help me... What is the notable development? Horse Eye's Back (talk) 11:59, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
- The OP would be the best person to ask. Other than the URL change, I have no idea. I had notified users from previous move requests as there appeared to be a broad consensus in favour for an article called X (social network) this time, the details of which were up to debate. I'm unsure if that is still the case but notified another set of users who participated in an informal survey some time later which included you. I seem to have missed that one as it wasn't a proper move request. I've just been hearing Twitter/X over the last week so I'm likely going to permanently withdraw from the debate and take a break. It's easy to give too much time to things that ultimately don't matter that much. The move request is closed now as far as I'm concerned. Take care of yourself.

- Yep, moot point now. Thanks for the notification and happy trails! Horse Eye's Back (talk) 20:07, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
