 * After fourteen-and-a-half years of near-daily editing, I have my first barnstar. Considering the source, it means even more to me. I am grateful for your kind commendation and regret my resistance to your heartfelt posting in April 2014, above, regarding my overlong dab page write-ups.

Anthroponymy project
I saw that you added the Anthroponymy project to Roberto Fernández (disambiguation). You might not have been aware, but the project is typically interest in only given names and surnames, not disambiguation pages to full names. There is no need to add to other full name dabs in the future. Regards. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bagumba (talk • contribs) 08:22, 26 July 2020 (UTC)

Hi
Hi, you're generally a sensible and experience editor whom I respect. What are you proposing? Treating Vietnamese fonts on en.wp differently from all other Latin fonts? If so, why? This is as massive and as disruptive a change as anyone could support, and the previous advocates of the diacritic wars 10 years ago mainly ended up with C-bans. What do you want to see happen to existing MOS practice. In ictu oculi (talk) 13:41, 15 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I appreciate your contacting me regarding this matter. As a Polish-Ukrainian immigrant to the U.S. who has supported / championed the use of Polish diacritics and the use of Ukrainian, rather than Russian, transliterations for Oleh Sentsov, Kyiv, Odesa, etc, I am not hypocritically opposed to the use of accents and diacritics in the main title headers of those English Wikipedia entries which support such use. Thus, since Polish director Ryszard Bolesławski was credited in Hollywood as Richard Boleslawski, I did not make an issue of it. These matters need to be dealt with on a case-by-case basis, rather than as one-size-fits-all. In cases such as those of Evelyne Brochu, Monica Puig or Talk:Vasyl Ivanchuk, that is how the subjects of those Wikipedia entries style themselves.
 * As for the case at hand, I would go as far as favoring the establishment of a two-tier system for non-diacritically-depicted key names and places associated with the Vietnam War that had appeared on a near-daily basis in English-language newspapers and magazines of that era and continue to be rendered in such historical form to this day. I accept the argument that the Vietnamese-diacritic headers can be easily accessed via redirects, but a select grouping of names starting with Ho Chi Minh, Nguyen Van Thieu and Nguyen Cao Ky should have their main headers in the Anglicized forms.
 * Ultimately, it is a matter of WP:COMMONNAME and, while the argument can be legitimately made that such names as (per your mention) Lech Wałęsa and, for that matter, Nicolae Ceaușescu, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan or the ancient Polish capital of Kraków are also usually depicted without diacritics in the English-speaking world, thus opening Wikipedia to an accusation of cultural bias in favor of Latin-scripted European alphabets, all of these arguments should be considered in light of reliable sources, longevity of use and English-language print media style guides. In the end, since it is near-impossible to satisfy everyone, no consensus (or possibly consensus) will have the final word. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 22:21, 15 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Hi Roman, I did wonder from the name Roman whether you might be Polish-American, but the above discussion seems to relate more to your view on Anglicising Ana Ivanovic despite her being as Serbian as you are American. Back to the few Vietnamese whom Americans have heard of. You are aware then of a MOS problem when the 3 or 4 Vietnamese known to Americans (or indeed Australians etc) occur in different font from all other Vietnamese. This is clearly as misreading of the principles of consistency and MOS. This creates then a housework problem for editors. That's the main problem here. Apart from the lingering suspicion from 10 years ago (not you) about some editors reacting to Asians differently than East Europeans. Also you'll note from previous outing 10 years ago that one of the reasons the community decided to treat MOS consistently was the below section of WP:RS. In ictu oculi (talk) 07:58, 22 August 2020 (UTC)

The reliability of a source depends on context. Each source must be carefully weighed to judge whether it is reliable for the statement being made in the Wikipedia article and is an appropriate source for that content. In general, the more people engaged in checking facts, analyzing legal issues, and scrutinizing the writing, the more reliable the publication. Information provided in passing by an otherwise reliable source that is not related to the principal topics of the publication may not be reliable; editors should cite sources focused on the topic at hand where possible. Sources the information as it is presented in the Wikipedia article.
 * Hi In ictu oculi, I was born and raised as well as early-schooled in Soviet Ukraine and then in Poland. However, I arrived in the US at the age of 12 and have been living here for 59 years, into my retirement. Based on my linguistic experience, I tend to support accents and diacritics when the native form is predominant, but also support WP:USEENGLISH when such form exists.
 * As I previously mentioned, each RM needs to be considered on a case-by-case basis. I was the one who added the Polish diacritic to the main title header for Joanna Pacuła and I would oppose the removal of diacritics from the header for Rade Šerbedžija since that is how those two actors were credited in their home country productions at the start of their film careers. However, if they were to contact English Wikipedia in the manner of Talk:Vasyl Ivanchuk and ask for the removal of the diacritics which they do not use in their English-language films, I would support their wishes.
 * Of course there will always be inconsistencies. There was no consensus for returning Nguyễn Văn Thiệu to Nguyen Van Thieu, but other names such as Ho Chi Minh, Nguyen Van Thinh or Ngo Dinh Diem remain at their Anglicized forms and, since Wikipedia, in addition to its own Manual of Style, tends to follow the standard style guides, that is how those names appear there.
 * One of participants at Talk:Ana Ivanovic wrote that "it is incredibly inconsistent to have article titles like this: Ivanovic–Janković rivalry", but Ana Ivanovic lives in Chicago, while Jelena Janković lives in Dubai and neither likely continues using diacritics in their daily lives. Again, however, if Ana Ivanovic were to take the same steps as Vasyl Ivanchuk, I would immediately support the restoration of the diacritic to her name. The same goes for Monica Puig who also lives in Chicago, not in Puerto Rico.
 * As inconsistent as Ivanovic–Janković may seem, it is not nearly as inconsistent as the father-son inconsistency of Polish diplomat Tadeusz Brzeziński and American presidential national security advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski, who was born in Poland and did not become a US citizen until he was 30 years old. None of Zbigniew's three children — Ian Brzezinski, Mark Brzezinski and Mika Brzezinski — uses the diacritic in their grandfather's name. Tadeusz Brzeziński's other son, engineer Lech Brzeziński did use the diacritic, but his son, Matthew Brzezinski does not use it (see Brzeziński).
 * There many examples for other languages which can be cited for continuation of this topic. However, there are different groupings — heads of state and other leaders such as Lech Wałęsa, Nicolae Ceaușescu or Ho Chi Minh (depending on how each specific name appears in major style guides), sports/chess/etc personalities, depending on whether or not they live in their home country and upon their preference on social media and other factors and, to end for now, actors whose stage names may differ from country to country.
 * For example, English-language actors Željko Ivanek and Malin Akerman, who have lived in the English-speaking world since childhood, have taken a different approach to stage name diacritics — Ivanek insists in keeping the diacritics in his billing, while Akerman has never used the diacritic in her billing (despite the main title header, Malin Åkerman, of her English Wikipedia entry). —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 07:13, 25 August 2020 (UTC)

Thank you for your comment on Talk:Kiev
Hi User:Roman Spinner. Thank you for your comment on Talk:Kiev - it is accurate and timely. I know that these days it is not easy for you to make any comments on Talk:Kiev (my July 5 comment that was, regretfully, removed by sysop El_C (diff) succinctly summarized how several pro-Kiev editors and sysops over the course of multiple years harassed and repeatedly threatened to block you for merely voicing your opinion why Kyiv is now the correct spelling of Ukraine's capital) and this is why it is even more valuable.--73.75.115.5 (talk) 17:12, 9 September 2020 (UTC)
 * I am grateful for your kind words and for your ceaseless efforts on behalf of Kyiv which finally culminated in the widely-noted successful conclusion. As I noted one year and nine months ago in a reply at User talk:Roman Spinner/Archive 7 (2018 and 2019) above, the road seemed to be a long one, but thanks to your endeavor, the votes of all the Wikipedians who supported the move, as well as unforeseen world events, the destination proved to be closer than expected. The next, although lesser, hurdle can be spotted of course in the discussion at Talk:Odessa which may benefit from the accelerated pace demonstrated by the climax of the Kyiv discussions.
 * I also appreciate your link to my January 2019 comments but, unlike some editors who were browbeaten into leaving Wikipedia as a result of actual threats and harassment, I have not felt myself subjected to such treatment. These are deeply felt contentious topics which may result in occasionally negative personal interactions but, at the end of the editing day, I am grateful for the opportunity to interact with fellow Wikipedians and exchange ideas which become part of the historical record for decades and, hopefully, centuries to come. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 05:06, 26 September 2020 (UTC)

 * LOL yes that's happened to me before as well. I'm sure you know that when you review a page, there is a place for comments, and those are forwarded to the original page creator rather than to a secondary editor who actually changed the redirect into a content page. I didn't catch what had happened until after I had reviewed the page, so I figured you would set me straight :>) and thank you for doing so!  P.I. Ellsworth   ed.  put'r there 05:28, 26 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Apologies for waiting a week before posting a response (my computer just returned from ten days at the MAC/PC Guys repair shop) and my thanks for your much more prompt (22 minutes) reply. Also, taking advantage of this opportunity, in view of the main title header Kiev having been moved to Kyiv, my even more belated thanks for your close at another Ukrainian requested move — Talk:Oleg Sentsov. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 06:25, 26 September 2020 (UTC)

Thank you
for sharing your family history. I'm a DABfixer; hence my ridiculously high edit count. Most DABfixes take only seconds, but a few take longer. I remember the worst day I had on Wikipedia. Someone had been born in an obscure ambiguously-named village in what is now Belarus. The next problem was the same. And so was the third. None was easy, but with some effort I was able to identify all three by multilingual searching. All that remains of one is an engraved slab in the ground. It wasn't fun, but it was very necessary.

Article for Deletion/Rachel Shevchenko
Hi Roman,

Thank you for your comment on Article for Deletion of Rachel Shevchenko. I left a comment on it as well that I disagree with deletion. If you have any advice on what I could add to the article so it won't get deleted or what else I could do I would really appreciate it. User:Elegantnetwork1''' (talk) 06:39, 13 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Since Wikipedia is consensus-based, all we can do is submit votes while presenting our strongest arguments against deletion and in favor of retention. Each case comes with its own set of circumstances — immediately after participating in the Rachel Shevchenko discussion, I cast a vote against deletion of the entry for 48-year-old Gavin O'Connor (actor) {Articles for deletion/Gavin O'Connor (actor)} where the situation is different since he has a long career with scores of film, TV and stage credits. It is all dependent on notability and references — I found the existing references sufficient while others did not. If her entry does not succeed this year, this young star of the future will have a stronger opportunity next year or the year after that. Once she accumulates additional notices and has entries in databases, such as IMDb, there will be sufficient votes for retention. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 07:50, 13 March 2021 (UTC)

Hello, Roman Spinner. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Rita Ray, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Draft space is not an indefinite storage location for content that is not appropriate for article space.

If your submission is not edited soon, it could be nominated for deletion under CSD G13. If you would like to attempt to save it, you will need to improve it. You may request userfication of the content if it meets requirements.

If the deletion has already occured, instructions on how you may be able to retrieve it are available here.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 09:02, 19 April 2021 (UTC)
 * For the record, on March 11, 2018, I created a redirect with this edit summary: "Redirecting main title header delineating the early stage name of American film and television actress, Rita Ray, to its most-frequently credited form, Dona Drake". On November 10, 2020, Evajohannna converted that redirect into Draft:Rita Ray, a proposed English Wikipedia entry which has as its lead paragraph, "Rita Ray (born Kristi Raias; 26th august 1996) is an Estonian composer, singer, songwriter and keyboard player.. She mainly performs blue-eyed soul, with influences of R&B and Disco. Rita Ray band consists of Artis Boriss (keys), Kristen Kütner (guitar), Jasper Alamaa (bass) and Ott Adamson (drums) "

Your recent move
Hi there, You recently moved Chris Connolly to Chris Connolly (Australian footballer). I'm not really sure why, as IMO the page views show that he is the primary topic compared to the ice hockey player, with a constant gap in |Chris_Connolly_(ice_hockey) page views between the two. But I'm not going to move it back, because as a former coach, it is more likely than unlikely that the views will decrease over time. As a headsup for future moves, if there is no ambiguity, for Australian footballers, (footballer) is preferred as the qualifier and (Australian footballer) is generally only used when there is ambiguity with a soccer, rugby or NFL player. I will make that move. The-Pope (talk) 15:32, 23 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Since you are arguably or actually Wikipedia's top contributor and expert on the subject of Australian football in particular, as well as on numerous other topics, I appreciate your contacting me regarding my recent move. In retrospect, I regret making it unilaterally, rather than at RM, or even making it at all. If you ultimately would prefer for Chris Connolly (footballer) to be restored to Chris Connolly, I would be glad to support the restoration. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 22:47, 23 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks for that response, but like I said, there is merit in neither being a true primary topic. However, I've just reverted your move of Fred Clarke (Australian footballer), because whilst year of birth is generally a very unique disambiguator, I consider it to be a very poor one, because most people don't know a person's year of birth. Especially if the nationality is clear and unique. I know that with some globetrotting people, nationality is confusing/changes, but for many, it's just the simplest and easiest qualifier to use. Cheers, The-Pope (talk) 14:42, 24 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Once again, I am grateful for your kind counsel and it is certainly an argument against my making any further unilateral moves, at least as far as these matters are concerned. Upon being confronted with two inconsistent qualifiers — Fred Clarke (Australian footballer) and Fred Clarke (footballer, born 1941), my initial instinct was to move Fred Clarke (footballer, born 1941) → Fred Clarke (Northern Irish footballer), but instead of making the Northern Irish footballer analogous to the Australian footballer, I erred in deciding to make the Australian footballer analogous to the Northern Irish footballer.
 * This time, I am submitting my original intent to Talk:Fred Clarke (footballer, born 1941) and, if consensus ultimately decides that the existing forms are fine in their current forms, then at least the matter will be on record in the remote possibility that it might be brought up again. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 18:23, 24 June 2021 (UTC)

Archiving
Hello. It appears your talk page is becoming quite lengthy and is in need of archiving. According to Wikipedia's user talk page guidelines: "Large talk pages are difficult to read and load slowly over slow connections. As a rule of thumb, archive closed discussions when a talk page exceeds 75 KB or has multiple resolved or stale discussions." – this talk page is KB. See Help:Archiving a talk page for instructions on how to manually archive your talk page, or to arrange for automatic archiving using a bot. If you have any questions, place a notice on your talk page, or go to the help desk. Thank you. Interstellarity (talk) 15:30, 29 August 2021 (UTC)

 * User:Roman Spinner: A friendly reminder that even after your archiving efforts your talk page is still very large - well over 400K. Perhaps you would consider archiving everything before 2021? This should reduce this page from well over 200 entries to a much more manageable 30 or 40. Cheers! CapnZapp (talk) 21:22, 23 October 2021 (UTC)

quick question
Hi Roman, I saw the RM about Tom Drake, and I was trying to figure out if you meant it should be moved or it shouldn't be. So I didn't want to touch anything before understanding your opinion. Dr. Vogel (talk) 15:51, 5 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Hi Dr. Vogel, the issue of the Tom Drake main title header had been resolved at 02:11, 5 November 2021 (UTC), shortly after my 00:36, 5 November 2021 (UTC) posting under "Technical requests", although at the time of your above posting it was still listed under "Technical requests". My comment was simply meant to call attention to the cut-and-paste move which resulted in the then-existing revision history of the Tom Drake article showing solely the move, while the revision history of the newly-created redirect Tom Drake (actor) showing the 236 intermediate revisions by more than 100 users dating back to the article's creation in January 2005. Happily it is now a moot point. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 15:38, 6 November 2021 (UTC)

Curious
I’ve been noticing the edits you’ve been making on Death of Benito Mussolini in recent weeks. I’m curious regarding your interpretation of NOPIPE. Most of your NOPIPE changes seem fair enough, but one or two seem somewhat…extreme for want of a better word. It’s almost as though you’re reading NOPIPE as generally encouraging eradication of piping if at all possible. In your last edit of that article two changes seem to me to be quite strange: (1) it looks like you created two redirects to enable removing 2 pipelinks. No other articles link to those redirects. That works functionally but is that really worth doing? (2) The change from “Swiss border” to “Italy-Switzerland border” works functionally but loses concision and in the context of the sentence makes it unnecessarily clunky. I think we should only use the actual article title rather than a pipelink if the title is at least as good as the pipelink. I don’t mean to appear overly critical as I can see this type of editing (which you are very diligent at) is generally highly useful. But I am curious. DeCausa (talk) 15:01, 30 December 2021 (UTC)
 * I appreciate your consideration in taking the time to post such a detailed query. First of all, since you are the creator of this article, I need to assure you that I did not single out Death of Benito Mussolini for special editing attention in the aftermath of my unsuccessful Talk:Death of Benito Mussolini and that I have been unpiping links in scores of other articles at the same time.
 * I am not against piping and, of course, piping is essential in hiding parenthetical qualifiers, as in "a member of the Action Party (Italy)|Action Party" and, on some occasions, for hiding the equivalent of a parenthetical qualifier, as in "near the village of Dongo, Lombardy|Dongo on Lake Como."
 * I do feel however that, as explained under WP:NOPIPE and, in greater detail, under MOS:PIPEDLINK, editors should not pipe simply to avoid redirects (the Archbishop of Milan, Alfredo Ildefonso Schuster|Cardinal Schuster]]) and, likewise, to avoid creating surprise links, per MOS:EASTEREGG ("he was reduced to being the leader of a Italian Social Republic|German puppet state in northern Italy]]" or "With the Spring 1945 offensive in Italy|final collapse]] of the German army's Gothic Line in April 1945, total defeat for the Salò Republic and its German protectors was imminent.").
 * I revised the latter link as, "With the Spring 1945 offensive in Italy bringing a final collapse of the German army's Gothic Line in April, total defeat for the Salò Republic and its German protectors was imminent."
 * A reply is also needed regarding your points, "(1) it looks like you created two redirects to enable removing 2 pipelinks. No other articles link to those redirects. That works functionally but is that really worth doing? (2) The change from “Swiss border” to “Italy-Switzerland border” works functionally but loses concision and in the context of the sentence makes it unnecessarily clunky. I think we should only use the actual article title rather than a pipelink if the title is at least as good as the pipelink."
 * The creation of some redirects, such as "Cardinal Schuster" redirecting to Alfredo Ildefonso Schuster, is obvious, but in many cases, if content creators discover that the links within their text are red ones, they are likely to return to those links and unlink them. Thus, specialized links such as Italian anti-fascist partisans redirecting to Italian resistance movement or German puppet state in northern Italy redirecting to Italian Social Republic are unlikely to have existing red links awaiting the creation of these redirects.
 * As explained under MOS:EASTEREGG, the problem with such hidden redirects is that the hidden text does not directly represent what is indicated in the link — a user clicking "Swiss border", a non-existent link which is hiding as a piped redirect to Italy–Switzerland border, would probably expect a review of the relationship among Austria–Switzerland border, Italy–Switzerland border, France–Switzerland border, Germany–Switzerland border and Category:Liechtenstein–Switzerland border.
 * Likewise, the hidden word in "Palmiro Togliatti, the Secretary-General of the Italian Communist Party|Communist Party]], claimed that he had ordered Mussolini's execution prior to his capture" gives the impression that Togliatti was the Secretary of the world-wide Party. rather than solely of the Italian Party. In some of these cases, there may be no need for a link per WP:OVERLINK.
 * Since I have already exceeded the intended length of my explanation, one additional clarification should be provided in that I frequently revise an article only to the point that the revisions fit within the edit summary and then return to the article after a week or two with the same routine.
 * However, to avoid returning to this article for future brief bursts of editing, I will now read through the entire text and unpipe whatever appears to be in need of it. You may ultimately disagree and revert my edits or we may further discuss the specific details. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 23:07, 30 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks for taking the trouble to provide such a detailed response. As I previously mentioned, I don’t have any objection to the majority of your “de-pipings”. I do have a couple of points on some of the specific ones you mention. Both the one for “Swiss border” and “Communist Party” need to be read in context and, as a result, I don’t think EASTEREGG applies. In context, “Swiss border” can only have meant the Italy–Switzerland border, and there could not possibly have been any expectation that France–Switzerland border, Germany–Switzerland border would be covered. The sentence was very clearly and exclusively about moving from Italy to Switzerland. Likewise on the “Italian Communist Party” there is no reasonable prospect of anyone thinking that, in context, “Communist Party” means anything other the Italian Communist Party - there is of course no such thing as a world-wide Communist Party. The context was clearly and exclusively about Italian Communists. However, those very theoretical EASTEREGG concerns lead to an actual reduction in concision and flow quality of the text with the removal of the pipe link. Where concision and flow is affected, I’d recommend being more cautious on applying EASTEREGG if the context really doesn’t leave that much doubt where the pipelink goes to. DeCausa (talk) 23:42, 30 December 2021 (UTC)
 * I accept your arguments and will restore the piping for Italy–Switzerland border|Swiss border.]] —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 01:16, 31 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you. DeCausa (talk) 08:14, 31 December 2021 (UTC)

Hello,

I am newer to this so please forgive me if I'm writing this in the wrong place. Are you able to help me get Mario Cerrito III name changed. I made a mistake and accidentally put the period at the end of it and I feel bad. I saw you commented and saw your a very experienced editor on here. Thank you for any help. Summerlee44 (talk) 01:48, 25 January 2022 (UTC)
 * I am always pleased to be of service although, in this case, the dot deletion nomination has already been submitted and the process is underway. There is no need to feel bad or be concerned — simple uncontested technical requests, such as this one, are sometimes resolved within the same day but, since Wikipedia has no blue link for the plain name Mario Cerrito or his alternative billing form Mario G. Cerrito, thus resulting in the supplementary proposal that the generational suffix "III" is not needed, it may take a week to determine consensus regarding those details. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 08:15, 25 January 2022 (UTC)

Hello Roman! The article was moved to Mario Cerrito but when I logged on today I saw they tagged it for articles for deletion, there's an open discussion. I did see you supported him as well.

Would you voice your vote on there? Thank you.Summerlee44 (talk) 14:08, 3 February 2022 (UTC)

A tip
Have a look at WP:EDITSUMMARY. It will explain to you that Edit summaries are meant to be brief, not a copy and paste of your entire contribution to a discussion. HiLo48 (talk) 01:13, 22 December 2022 (UTC)
 * I appreciate your interest regarding the length of my edit summaries. I have been editing Wikipedia on a near-daily basis since my first edit on January 22, 2006 and yours is the first comment that has taken issue with my summaries, some of which are brief, while others may indeed run near the 500-character limit.
 * While you are correct that the lead sentence states that an "edit summary is a brief explanation of an edit to a Wikipedia page" and WP:SUMMARYNO indicates, "Avoid long summaries", my summaries help me to keep track of the essence of my contributions and, while it is always best to seek the golden mean (philosophy), given the option of excess or deficiency, with the existing 500-character limit, I opted for excess.
 * Also, as of now, it appears that decisions regarding the length of summaries are basically left up to individual contributors, as stated atop the Help:Edit summary, "This is an information page. It is not one of Wikipedia's policies or guidelines, but rather intends to describe some aspect(s) of Wikipedia's norms, customs, technicalities, or practices. It may reflect varying levels of consensus and vetting." —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 17:02, 22 December 2022 (UTC)

Happy WikiBirthday!
Hello and forgive my intrusion. While I am stepping away from Wikipedia, I still browse it regularly, and I clicked on your profile after coming across one of your comments on a article move request in which I was uninvolved but curious. Personally, I disagree with your position and, seeing as you had taken a similar view in other such requests (in which I did participate!), I got the feeling you were taking a "default" stance on some issues. This is, however, beside the point now - I just wanted to explain how I got here.

I'm leaving this comment not because of any dispute, existing or potential, arising from edits (it is evident that you're acting in good faith regardless of whether we agree or not) but because your user profile in itself struck me as very interesting and surprisingly open (too open, perhaps - I would never feel comfortable posting that kind of real-life information for all to see!). These snippets of your life story and that of your family were fascinating read, and I appreciate you sharing it. As a historian, while I am "trained", so to speak, not to accept things at face value, I am also naturally inclined to treasure these testimonies and mementos, oral or material, of pasts long gone. I would also like to point out that the fact that in spite of your advanced age you still endeavour to remain a productive member of the community is commendable. Under different circumstances I would still most likely have kept this to myself, were it not for the fortuitous coincidence that I happened to check your profile on your "wiki birthday", as you describe it, which seems to be a date you value highly enough to update your user page on a yearly basis to commemorate it. Allow me to send you my best regards on this date, a wish for health and good fortune, and may you celebrate many more "wiki birthdays" while contributing to this encyclopedia at your own pace. Ostalgia (talk) 13:07, 22 January 2023 (UTC)
 * It is so considerate of you to take the time for such a thoughtful comment on my 17th WikiBirthday. My 74th personal birthday is in three weeks and, at this point in my life, I feel I have little to fear in exposing details of my and family's past to the public. In fact, it is something of a self-penned obituary for those who might care to explore the history of Wikipedia contributors from some point in the near- or far-off future when Wikipedia (and possibly everything else) might be taken over as Artificial Intelligence projects.
 * At the time of my graduation from Talladega College in June 1972, I was a history and political science major and remain a history buff, but did not pursue academic subjects as a profession. Any edits that I make regarding Polish, Russian and Ukrainian topics are limited to talk page comments at WP:RM and a very occasional RM nomination, such as Execution of the Romanov family → Killing of the Romanov family at Talk:Murder of the Romanov family. Wikipedia remains my daily preoccupation or perhaps simply a retirement hobby.
 * Hopefully, I can continue editing for as many years as possible in the spirit of User:Anthony Appleyard who made his final edits on 13 February 2022, 15 days before his death on 28 February (Deceased Wikipedians/2022) or in the spirit of Piotr Domaradzki, whose English Wikipedia posthumous entry I created in November 2015 and who made his final edits on the day of the October fire that took his life.
 * Again, thank you for reading my user page and for your kind words even in the face of our apparent lack of consensus on Russian-Ukrainian topics. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 23:18, 22 January 2023 (UTC)

Disambiguation pages
Hi, Roman, I hope you are doing well. I see you have been removing some red links from dabs which meet MOS:DABRL. Can you please leave these in? They make it much easier for people to create the article, plus clicking on 'what links here' will show up any other incoming links. It also reduces the case of people creating different named red links for the same people, leading to confusion, e.g. John Smith {journalist), John Smith (writer) and John Smith (commentator) could all be created. Thanks, Boleyn (talk) 11:06, 8 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Hi, Boleyn. Always glad to hear from you and, upon approaching my 75th birthday, I hope to remain well enough to continue editing for a while longer. As for the red links within disambiguation page, since you feel that such links are indeed more helpful than their unlinked equivalents, from this day forward, I will leave all dab page redlinks in their redlinked form. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 22:14, 9 May 2023 (UTC)

Would you consider becoming a New Page Reviewer?

 * Hi Roman Spinner, we need experienced volunteers.
 * New Page Patrol is currently struggling to keep up with the influx of new articles. We could use a few extra hands on deck if you think you can help.
 * Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time but it requires a good understanding of Wikipedia policies and guidelines ; Wikipedia needs experienced users to perform this task and there are precious few with the appropriate skills. Even a couple reviews a day can make a huge difference.
 * Kindly read the tutorial before making your decision (if it looks daunting, don't worry, most pages are easy to review, and habits are quick to develop). If this looks like something that you can do, please consider joining us.
 * If you would like to join the project and help out, please see the granting conditions. You can apply for the user-right HERE.
 * If you have questions, please feel free to drop a message on my talk page or at the reviewer's discussion board.
 * Cheers, and hope to see you around —  ❯❯❯  Raydann  (Talk)   22:51, 3 July 2023 (UTC)

Be bold and move if need be
Hi, ! I've checked through your recent move requests and have so far found them to be more easier than I thought. In case you've forgotten or haven't noticed, you can move/rename articles yourself to a name provided it fulfils WP:NAMECHANGES without resorting to either using RMs or WP:RMTR, as you've been here on WP for a while. To rename/move pages, click "Tools" at the right side of the article/page in question, click "Move" (appears based on page protection status), change the current title to the title of preference or choice, add a reason for this and then, click "Move page". Once a red error box appears on the next screen, then you can resort to using the methods above. Please don't see this as a deterrence to continue using them, but see this as, going foward, a more easier alternative than to wait a week or a fortnight to move pages/articles to redlinked unused names when they could be moved yourself — unless the prefered title(s) is/are blue/hyperlinked or already taken. Thanks! Intrisit (talk) 14:39, 23 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Hi, ! I appreciate your kind advice regarding page moves. As you note, I have been editing for a while — a near-daily schedule since January 2006 — and, while I occasionally make unilateral moves, such as here a couple of days ago {Thomas Frye (politician) → Thomas Frye (Rhode Island governor)}, my usual preference is to leave a historical record in the form of a WP:RM discussion on an entry's talk page in the event a future editor may consider a similar move. You are of course correct that many (a majority of ?) move requests hold little interest to many (a majority of ?) Wikipedians and many (a majority of ?) unilateral moves may pass with little or no notice. Occasionally, a single "oppose" vote will result in a "no consensus"/"not moved" outcome, such as Sabu Dastagir → Sabu (actor) at Talk:Sabu (actor), but the arguments put forth at least preserve a record for future discussions. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 03:12, 25 August 2023 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Frances and Richard Lockridge


The article Frances and Richard Lockridge has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "A separate article now exists for Frances Louise Lockridge, in addition to Richard Lockridge"

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages 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 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. - Hi User:Roman_Spinner! I've gone ahead and created a separate page for Frances Louise Lockridge, so I'm proposing to delete the joint redirect to her husband, which it looks like you created some years ago. Letting you know per the protocol, let me know if you see any issue. Thanks! Bookworm-ce (talk) 02:47, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
