Proposed deletion of List of Imperial Villages


The article List of Imperial Villages has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern:
 * A list such as this needs sources.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

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 article 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.

Ways to improve Samarium(II) bromide
Hi, I'm Graeme Bartlett. Iazyges, thanks for creating Samarium(II) bromide!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. The sources used are not reliable because we cannot tell where the information came from or whether it has been checked.Use peer reviewed academic literature. Do not use "ground state" for a solid, as it would have to be at 0K to be in ground state.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 10:25, 21 December 2016 (UTC)

DYK for Iazyges
— Maile (talk) 00:01, 22 December 2016 (UTC)

That is precious: a GA of your user name! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:54, 22 December 2016 (UTC) Yeah, I was originally virophage but I stopped being interested in biology and focused on history, so I looked for a history name. I found Iazyges as a start class article that was a total mess, and a few months after the name change I tried my best to fix it up, and I was lucky enough to have a lot of help with suggestions and source finding. Right now the Iazyges article is going through a A-class nomination at MILHIST (because its like 90% military history as thats pretty much all that's known.)

Your reports at WP:UAA
I'd like to ask that you slow down a bit and apply more critical thinking before making repots to UAA. While you do make some valid reports, I have just declined seven reports from you for various reasons. The primary issue seems to be a misunderstanding of what a promotional username is. You seem to be going by "feel" rather than the actual Wikipedia policy. The relevant policy is WP:CORPNAME. The basic idea is that the name should obviously be representing a group, organization, or website to merit blocking. Names that represent an individual are permitted.

If they are engaging in self promotion of their DJ carreer, their crummy youtube channel, or just themselves as a person (often the case with usernames with "official" in them) it is their editing that is the issue, not their username. If they pair the name of an organization with their own name or nickname, that's ok too as it still represents an individual. To be actionable, there needs to be solid evidence that the username is promoting a real-world entity comprised of more than one person. I hope this clarifies things for you.

Rename media requests
I declined some of your rename media requests. I only declined ones that had reasonable names according to the applicable guideline, WP:File names. I left about 10 open, because while I generally only implement requests there that explicitly meet a criterion (linked in my last sentence below; e.g. Gaia logo → Gaia insignia), others are more liberal. Particularly of note, you requested that File:Abysspool.jpg be renamed to File:Abyssal Pool.jpg. "As a matter of principle, it is best to leave all files with generally valid names at their locations, even if slightly better names may exist. ... File:Thiswouldbebetterwithspaces.jpg should not be renamed to File:This would be better with spaces.jpg." - WP:FMNN. A lot of your other requests were to rename files with foreign language titles to English translations, which isn't one of the nine widely undisputed criteria for renaming listed at WP:FMV/W.
