Proper names
I already left a note for another editor here...I recognize the Taylor Peak disambiguation page has only a redlink, which I can fix in a day or two, but to have Taylor Peak redirect to Taylor Mountain (incorrect proper name) won't work. Can you help me out here?MONGO 15:46, 21 August 2012 (UTC)

Hey
Just a note to say I've granted you the "autopatrolled" user right: thanks for all the great work writing new articles! :). Ironholds (talk) 01:08, 22 August 2012 (UTC)

Jess Ennis
Oh...boy...Why you redirect Jess Ennis? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 180.183.124.89 (talk • contribs)
 * If you wanting to write an article on a different Jess Ennis than the GP Olympic Gold medalist, you are of course free to do so, but "." and "Ennis" is not an encyclopedia article. KTC (talk) 09:24, 1 September 2012 (UTC)

OK, well thanks anyway, I'll request again in a few months. K. (talk) 13:48, 7 September 2012 (UTC)

Non-free rationale for File:SDU-ASU selection 2005.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:SDU-ASU selection 2005.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 22:30, 12 September 2012 (UTC)

BLPProd on Ravi Mariya
I remove the BLPProd on Ravi Mariya as there were three references, albeit unreliable, in the article when you placed the Prod. Bgwhite (talk) 05:36, 21 September 2012 (UTC)

date vs year
Sorry about my edit to Mary Buckland. At the time I misunderstood the hidden categories and thought that the b/d years were enough. RockMagnetist (talk) 16:08, 25 September 2012 (UTC)

Roma FC
Who can refer with Roma FC to A.S. Roma? It is different, no one can misunderstanding it; and it is Dallas Roma FC so important to need a redirect from Roma FC? Stigni (talk) 14:46, 5 October 2012 (UTC)

1994 FIFA World Cup qualification (UEFA)
I'm sorry, I made a mistake and I didn't know how to restore it. Thank you. PS Can you tell me where you found news about qualification seeding (UEFA)? For example, why Italy in pool one, Denmark in pool three, etc.? Elwood75 (talk) 18:11, 16 October 2012 (UTC).

Western Reds
Hi KTC, that was quick! I'm just trying to move the WA Reds page back to Western Reds (consensus reached on the talk page) but it's giving me an error. I deleted the redirect on 'Western Reds' 'cause I thought that might be stopping the move from going ahead but I still get the error. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Wow! FL candidate before it is even nominated for DYK! I wonder how often that has been done? RockMagnetist (talk) 19:14, 8 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Well being a candidate doesn't mean anything as anyone can nominate a page. The difficult bit is actually getting it promoted to FL. Will have to wait and see if it's good enough. KTC (talk) 19:23, 8 November 2012 (UTC)

Articles for deletion/Frances Hugle
Hey KTC-- thank you for your non-admin close. I was in an edit conflict with you as you were closing, and so I added my comments to the discussion even though it was already closed. I also supported keeping the article, so your close still stands. I, Jethrobot drop me a line (note: not a bot!) 01:06, 12 November 2012 (UTC)

Hi,

Our director sent the permission in OTRS several hours ago (SMOLENSK CLUB OF CULTURE AND ART - title of the organization). Please check e-mail. Kind regards! - 78.106.100.34 (talk) 22:52, 22 November 2012 (UTC).


 * I'm afraid we cannot locate the email you are referring to. If you can tell me the email address it was sent from and the email address it was sent to, that would help us in locating and responding to the ticket. Alternatively, the exact time the email was sent (including the time zone) could also helps narrow down our search criteria. -- KTC (talk) 10:42, 23 November 2012 (UTC)

Page move
As result of your obstruction here, another editor has started a deletion discussion to carryout the edits that could have been accomplished seamlessly without your interference. Seems like a waste of time to me, but since you felt the need to prevent it from occuring in the past, I thought you might want to weigh in with your insights. Candleabracadabra (talk) 16:31, 26 November 2012 (UTC)


 * Obstruction? Per Page blanking, "Wikipedia articles should not be blanked". As I explained back in May, blanking the page wouldn't have achieved what you wanted to do. It is not possible to move a page to a location that has an existing page that doesn't have only a one line history redirecting to the page you are moving from. Please read up on the various linked to pages rather than making unfounded accusation. Regards -- KTC (talk) 16:58, 26 November 2012 (UTC)


 * It was not an article and as I explained in my edit summary, I blanked the page so it could be deleted to make way for a move. Because you reverted, it's now at a deletion discussion attempting to achieve the same result. If you think the deletion discussion you forced is useful, I suggest you take part in it.  If not, you might consider how you can better assist the efforts of others going forward so as to avoid time wastage and unnecessary and unhelpful bureaucracy.  That is all. Candleabracadabra (talk) 17:49, 26 November 2012 (UTC)


 * The same applies to disambiguation page as to what you refer to as articles. And as I explained to you before, if you want a page to be deleted, you need to actually nominate the page for deletion through an appropriate process. A page doesn't have to be blank for it to be deleted, and a blank page doesn't automatically leads to deletion. The unnecessary and unhelpful bureaucracy you refer to exist so that pages don't get deleted at the whim of any particular user. Last of all, I didn't force a deletion discussion. You can, and you did, nominate the page for speedy deletion. It was eventually declined due to your failure to specify the page to be moved. -- KTC (talk) 18:05, 26 November 2012 (UTC)

Thanks
Thanks for creating the AFD 2nd nomination page/section for Patrick Wong MLA for me. I didn't quite know how it worked but I tried to follow the steps, but I obviously missed a step somewhere. Thanks for taking that time to help me. SelfEx1led (talk) 01:11, 3 December 2012 (UTC)

Institute of Chartered Secretaries and Administrators
Hi KTC. I recently wrote some articles on non-profit trade associations in PR like CIPR, PRSA and IABC, so I was interested in contributing when Suggestbot popped up a similar organization in administration. But I came up completely dry on finding sources. Brief mentions in the media, lots of ads in news archives, just Annual General Meetings announcement in my library database and nothing for an "In the News" section on the website.

It's actually too bad because I wanted to write about it, but I got nadda for WP:V, so I feel my only recourse is an AfD. Since you were involved in the article, I wanted to see if you had any input first. Corporate 04:41, 7 December 2012 (UTC)

avunculus
I assume there is some sort of system reason for your changing the redirect for this term (avunculus) away from a direct one to wiktionary? I cannot foresee any circumstances in which a word from Latin as a dead language will ever have it's own article. Is there some way you can fix the issue you found problematic withoutinterrupting the redirect? Thanks. μηδείς (talk) 02:38, 14 December 2012 (UTC)


 * For a start, it wasn't me. I merely added a long comment so that the page no longer shows up on Special:ShortPages. If you look at the page history, you'll see that it was User:HueSatLum who changed it to a Wiktionary redirect instead. To answer the misdirected question. It's done because hard redirect to other site (meaning any page outside the English Wikipedia) doesn't work as intended. Instead, the correct way to redirect to such site is with a soft redirect. -- KTC (talk) 02:58, 14 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Hm, so I have just edited the page using the template you indictaed but it still requires that the use then click on the redirect? It seems quite odd to me there's no way it just doesn't take them directly to wiktionary.  Is there some reason why this shouldn't or cannot be done?  BTW, I watch pages I modify- you don't need to talback me. μηδείς (talk) 03:12, 14 December 2012 (UTC)
 * You actually changed it from the standard template to wikt (Wiktionary redirect) to a more generic one (Soft redirect). The effect is deliberate. When a redirect automatically take a reader to another page within Wikipedia, a link is provided in the top left of the resulting page under the page title stating (Redirected from PAGE TITLE). This let the reader know they've been redirected to a different page than which they originally navigated to, and also provide a link for editors to navigate to the redirect page so it can be edited without the editor having to hand craft the correct URL to prevent redirection. Such a link wouldn't exist when the redirect is to an external site and is one of the reason why automatic redirecting is disabled. This is slightly inconvenient to the readers, but unfortunately given the other considerations, the necessary choice. -- KTC (talk) 03:27, 14 December 2012 (UTC)
