Das Kapital move request
Hi! It appears you've appended your comment in the middle of my move request. Assuming that wasn't intentional, I've moved it down. Cheers! : 3 F4U (they/it) 00:02, 21 April 2023 (UTC)

Giannalberto Bendazzi
hi   I must thank you for your good faith.

However, your understanding of Mr. Giannalberto Bendazzi's book is wrong.He says this in his book about the burnt city cup  “Many sources refer to this cup and the images on it as the first animation in history for example : An animated piece on an earthen goblet that belongs to 5000 years ago! was found in Burnt City in sistan-Baluchistan province, south-eastern iran. on this ancient piece that can be called the first animation of the world, the artist has portrayed a goat that jumps toward a tree and eats its leaves.... On this goblet, with a diameter of 8 cm and height of 10 cm. the images show movement in an intricate way that is an unprecedented discovery. Some earthenware found in Burnt City show repetitive images, but none of them implicate any movements”

I think the text you added is about other works of art found in this ancient city. I hope you will take another look at this book and comment again. Thank you Mitrayasna (talk) 16:08, 21 April 2023 (UTC) Mitrayasna

Have gone ahead and made the page moves that resulted from your close at Talk:Enric Bernat (businessman). In the future, if you are unable for any reason to make a page move after closing a move request, you can ask for a page mover or admin to help you at WP:RMTR.

Requesting closure
I have closed the Jeopardy move review, but for future reference closure requests are best made at Closure requests and, unless the consensus is unarguably obvious, should be neutrally worded. Thryduulf (talk) 22:51, 5 July 2023 (UTC)

July 2023
Hello, I'm LaundryPizza03. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person   on Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2023 July 9, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you! –LaundryPizza03 ( d c̄ ) 05:22, 9 July 2023 (UTC)


 * Ah, sorry. I didn't think to include a reference for that aside on a CFD page. I could have left that part out or included some very easily available reliable sources from news sites like Kotaku. &#123;&#123;replyto&#124; SilverLocust &#125;&#125; (talk) 05:46, 9 July 2023 (UTC)

Murder in Mississippi
Please could you relist this one? There was a strong consensus against moving in 2020, and the film is very clearly the primary topic by page views. I don't see any reason why the rationales explored back then are different now. Cheers &mdash; Amakuru (talk) 10:30, 21 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Ah, on second thoughts never mind... I didn't even consider Murder in Mississippi (painting) in the previous analysis. There isn't a primary topic, so the move is good. Cheers &mdash; Amakuru (talk) 10:31, 21 July 2023 (UTC)

AS Val and VSS Vintorez
Hello, SilverLocust! I gave a reply to your comment on my requested move. Shall I proceed to start a new RM discussion or should it be moved automatically? Since my request is to simply revert the changes made by user Guns & Glory. VSS Vintorez and AS Val was the tittle given by user KnowledgeableHrvatica (talk) when the user made the merge.

Page mover granted
Hello, SilverLocust. Your account has been granted the "extendedmover" user right, either following a request for it or demonstrating familiarity with working with article names and moving pages. You are now able to rename pages without leaving behind a redirect, move subpages when moving the parent page(s), and move category pages.

Please take a moment to review Page mover for more information on this user right, especially the criteria for moving pages without leaving a redirect. Please remember to follow post-move cleanup procedures and make link corrections where necessary, including broken double-redirects when  is used. This can be done using Special:WhatLinksHere. It is also very important that no one else be allowed to access your account, so you should consider taking a few moments to secure your password. As with all user rights, be aware that if abused, or used in controversial ways without consensus, your page mover status can be revoked.

Useful links:
 * Requested moves
 * Category:Requested moves, for article renaming requests awaiting action.

If you do not want the page mover right anymore, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Thank you, and happy editing! — Ingenuity (talk • contribs) 20:59, 24 July 2023 (UTC)

Emily Austin
Thanks for your comment on the page move discussion. I gave the good fight and lost and that's fair enough - sometimes it doesn't go your way. Question though - you mentioned WP:PT2. Hypothetically speaking, as her career progresses and whatnot, what would she have to do to qualify as WP:PRIMARYTOPIC? Cause there may become a point where she achieves it. I'm curious to know what this point may be. Thank you MaskedSinger (talk) 18:06, 29 July 2023 (UTC)


 * I agree that she may well become the primary topic. While I couldn't firmly predict how others would see it, my sense is that this would be more likely to come from more contributions of the sort outlined in WP:CREATIVE and WP:ENT than from being an influencer. (These sorts of notability discussions tend to be quite skeptical of the lasting significance of online popularity.) SilverLocust 💬 23:23, 29 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your explanation. Appreciate it! MaskedSinger (talk) 23:28, 29 July 2023 (UTC)

rollback
Hi SilverLocust. After reviewing your request, I have enabled rollback on your account. Please keep the following things in mind while using rollback: If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into trouble or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! Beeblebrox (talk) 17:41, 10 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Being granted rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle. It just adds a [Rollback] button next to a page's latest live rebision - that's all. It does not grant you any additional "status" on Wikipedia, nor does it change how Wikipedia policies apply to you.
 * Rollback should be used to revert clear and unambiguous cases of vandalism only . Never use rollback to revert good faith edits.
 * Rollback should never be used to edit war, and it should never be used in a content-related dispute to restore the page to your preferred revision. If rollback is abused or used for this purpose or other inappropriate purpose, the rights will be revoked.
 * Use common sense. If you're not sure about something, ask!


 * Thank you, ! SilverLocust  💬 18:03, 10 August 2023 (UTC)

PCM
I see you are copying my "PCM" note on RM/TR. I'll take that as a compliment. I've been using  as a means of reducing what I type and being consistent. If it's an IP user, I've been manually inserting a note about removing the request after a day, though I get some flack for that. - UtherSRG (talk) 18:29, 10 August 2023 (UTC)


 * I hope I haven't been intruding upon your intellectual property! I hadn't gotten around to writing something original, and I thought it might be slightly inconvenient to you when I contest a request without writing a message about how to open an RM.

Stony Point quick-fail
Hi @SilverLocust. Just wondering why you failed the Stony Point line article earlier today? You weren't the reviewer and also the reviewer is currently on holiday and therefore can't finish it till he gets back. Just wanted to check your thinking. Thanks. HoHo3143 (talk) 00:05, 18 August 2023 (UTC)


 * I don't quite know what you mean. What action of mine failed the Stony Point line article? I moved the article (and its subpages) based on a requested-move discussion, but I haven't had anything to do with GA reviews. I see that the "old move" template was put in the wrong section by the move closer script I used (which I will now fix), but that didn't mean the GA has failed. <small style="color:#667;background:white;border:2px solid;border-radius:4px;padding:0 4px">SilverLocust 💬 00:15, 18 August 2023 (UTC)
 * @SilverLocust sorry I've realised now. I thought you had just failed it out of nowhere, but now I understand that it occurred when moving the articles and then someone reopened it. Sorry for the mistake! HoHo3143 (talk) 00:33, 18 August 2023 (UTC)

Full collapse
Doesn't collapsing everything in a discussion tend to suggest that the discussion is simply closed? I believe it also disables the quick reply function. Together, the visual precedent and function disabling seem rather likely to deter further participation. I thought your prior solution on the other hand was rather ingenious, if unconventional, as a means of restoring clarity. I don't think you should let a lone complainant deter you in relisting a discussion as you see fit. Iskandar323 (talk) 19:59, 4 September 2023 (UTC)


 * I take your point that this prevents the "reply" function, so I have removed the middle one. It was collapsible rather than collapsed. I set them to open by default (though on the mobile site there is not an option to change between collapsed and open). <small style="color:#667;background:white;border:2px solid;border-radius:4px;padding:0 4px">SilverLocust 💬 20:15, 4 September 2023 (UTC)

Relist Operation Gideon
Could you please explain me what happened in the last 24h with the relist of Operation Gideon? My vote was removed, the sections moved again and WMrapids was reinserted in the bubbles. I cannot highlight further that a close would have been preferable in order to motivate a non-bludgeoned RM. ReyHahn (talk) 14:06, 6 September 2023 (UTC)


 * My two most recent edits were my final involvement in trying to fix this. I continue to believe my initial reconfiguration would have been fine if it didn't end up with 3-4 people trying to make format changes, but I am aware that you do not agree. So I tried just removing the formatting changes (and my relist), but The ed17 decided to restore them. Your comment seems to have been removed by mistake when he did that; you can put it back. If you cannot highlight your point further, that would suggest you don't need to keep restating it. If another uninvolved editor decides to close it, that's fine with me. <small style="color:#667;background:white;border:2px solid;border-radius:4px;padding:0 4px">SilverLocust 💬 15:33, 6 September 2023 (UTC)
