Authentic Matthew

Saw your post on the Jesus talk page. I am not a scholar, but I follow most of the same Bible pages as yourself (I'm sure we've spoken/tangled once or twice on Talk pages) so even if/though you think I'm an idiot, if you ever need anyone to come in and take a look as a "referee" with a similar Wiki background to work from, I'd be happy to. I reviewed the thread you linked and aware of all the players - and somewhat surprised to see both the return of User:Ret.Prof and that he is the one spearheading this. Have a happy New Year! Yours - Ckruschke (talk) 18:21, 31 December 2013 (UTC)Ckruschke

Thanks for your offer. However, right now I am trying to get away from Authentic Matthew and focus on the Oral Gospel tradition. You would be a welcome addition. You are no idiot! You are a respected Wikipedia editor! - Ret.Prof (talk) 19:06, 31 December 2013 (UTC)

User:Ckruschke many thanks, yours is a User name I view with confidence. In ictu oculi (talk) 01:06, 1 January 2014 (UTC)

Joseph O'Donnell

I see that the Joseph O'Donnell page was changed to Joseph O'Donnell Sr., his father (16 Sept 2013 edit). Also, the original Joseph O'Donnell data was added to Enrique José O'Donnell, Conde de La Bisbal. I'm sure that you didn't intend to mix two people up, but the Joseph (or José) who fought at Battle of Zujar and Battle of Castalla (1812) was the brother of the Count of La Bisbal, commonly referred to in English-language sources as Henry. Please see Charles Oman's History of the Peninsular War: Volume IV and look in the index. There is Charles, Joseph and Henry (or Enrique José if you prefer). Henry fought at the Battle of La Bisbal and the Battle of Vich. Actually most of Henry's fighting is told in Oman's Volume III. In Oman's Volume V on page 567 is this note, "he [Joseph O'Donnell] entirely lacked the fiery determination of his brother Henry, the hero of La Bispal." Oman Vol. V page 567 Unless you can convince me that Oman is wrong, I plan to create a new page for Joseph O'Donnell different from his father's page. I know the feeling, because I've gotten Gabriel Venance Rey, Louis Emmanuel Rey and Jean-Pierre-Antoine Rey crossed up at one time or other. The last two were brothers who were generals in Spain at the same time and the sources unhelpfully just say "Rey". Djmaschek (talk) 05:27, 4 January 2014 (UTC)

• Check out this page: Familia de Héroes. It shows brothers Enrique José (1769-1834), José (1768-1836) and Carlos (1772-1830). Djmaschek (talk) 07:03, 4 January 2014 (UTC)

Edition needed for Ai Chau Article

Tana Li doesnt mention anything about champa and in "Dai Viet Su Ky Toan Thu" also doesnt mention anything about Ai Chau was populated by any Cham People. Ai Chau was one of Cửu Chân District during Chinese Dominiton. The truth is Dương Tiến Lục lead an attack by the local or native people of Ai Chau and Hoan Chau and planned to betray Lê Hoàn, they were Viet , not other race(archaeology evidences presented)In Dai Viet Sử ký toàn thư and Khâm Định Việt Sử Thông giám Cương Mục wrote : " Dương Tiến Lộc lấy hai Châu Hoan, Ái làm phản. Vua thân đi đánh, Tiến Lộc bị giết.Bấy giờ vua sai viên Quảng Giáp là Tiến Lộc đi thu thuế hai châu Hoan và Ái, Tiến Lộc đem người hai châu ấy XIN THEO VỀ VỚI CHIÊM THÀNH. CHIÊM THÀNH KHÔNG NHẬN.

Come On Come On (song)

Hello IIO. Recently I closed your RM at Talk:Come On Come On (Little Birdy song). My assumption is that, now that the article is disambiguated with the name of the group, the original page at Come On Come On (song) (now a redirect to the Little Birdy song) should be pointed to Come On Come On (disambiguation). I'll leave that to the discretion of others, since it doesn't need an admin and the move close doesn't necessarily determine what to do about it.

Embrace (2014 album) and Embrace (1987 album)

Is this sort of disamugation necessary? It's very complicated and unnecessary, in my opinion. What's wrong with the simpler one we had before? It worked well for David Bowie's two eponymous albums, why couldn't it work here? I don't think i'll ever meet someone who would be bothered to type in "Embrace (Embrace (English band) album)" into the search engine, honestly. RazorEye ⡭ ₪ ·o' ⍦ ࿂ 19:04, 23 January 2014 (UTC)

Hi, well no one will ever type in any ( ) dab, and Google copes with that. I have come across it before and that is the model of how it is done, there are other examples Bleach (Bleach (American band) album) vs Bleach (Bleach (Japanese band) album). The reason Bowie works is that is two albums by the same artist, this isn't. In ictu oculi (talk) 00:38, 24 January 2014 (UTC)

Move of Sovereign (album)‎‎

I'm not sure I understand your logic here: "created out of a redirect, but 5 other albums in articles on dab". I only one notable album at Sovereign (disambiguation) and that's the one that has an article. I see one EP. It was correctly moved this past July from Sovereign (album) to Sovereign (EP). The only think that I think is needed is a hatnote on the new album that either points back to the dab or to the EP. If a move is to happen again, I would also suggest a discussion on the album's talk page. Walter Görlitz (talk) 02:46, 7 February 2014 (UTC)

Do you not talk before you damage Wikipedia? Move it back and talk now please. Walter Görlitz (talk) 02:47, 7 February 2014 (UTC)

02:46 - 02:47 is less than 1 minute. It generally isn't a good idea to insert/create a new article out of a redirect to existing content, particularly when there's a WP:CRYSTALBALL element. But no problem, I happily moved it back, despite the other 5 Sovereign albums in articles, and Google Books. You may wish to be more sparing with personal attack and insult language like "damage".

Formal mediation on Gospel of Matthew - draft request

On my Talk page you'll find a draft of a request for formal mediation on Gospel of Matthew and its sister, Hebrew Gospel hypothesis. The idea is that Ret.Prof will file the request for mediation, and it will take as its cause or whatever the phrase is a reversion I did of one of his edits regarding authentic Matthew. RetProf, Ignocrates and I have worked at this (an Davidbena has seen it because he thinks like RetProf), and we'd now like you to see and comment before RetProf drops it in the mailbox.

The idea is that we're doing this nice - everyone agrees, and the aim is to test, through mediation, whether authentic Matthew needs to be more fully explored in the GoM article. The draft will explain. PiCo (talk) 05:03, 8 February 2014 (UTC)

Formal mediation has been requested

The Mediation Committee has received a request for formal mediation of the dispute relating to "Hebrew Gospel of Matthew". As an editor concerned in this dispute, you are invited to participate in the mediation. Mediation is a voluntary process which resolves a dispute over article content by facilitation, consensus-building, and compromise among the involved editors. After reviewing the request page, the formal mediation policy, and the guide to formal mediation, please indicate in the "party agreement" section whether you agree to participate. Because requests must be responded to by the Mediation Committee within seven days, please respond to the request by 16 February 2014.

Discussion relating to the mediation request is welcome at the case talk page. Thank you.

Mediation

For the record, I believe it would be in everybody's best interests if someone were to review the guidelines for formal and informal mediation, particularly regarding what content in mediation can and cannot be considered at proposals for topic bans or arbitration. I believe that there is rather obvious, in fact almost overwhelming, evidence that Ret. Prof. is more or less a devoted SPA POV pusher regarding the "Jewishness" of early Christianity, and I very much believe that would likely be taken into account at such proceedings. I also believe that it would be in everybody's best interests if any clear misconduct which might take place in mediation should be available for consideration in arbitration or noticeboard discussion, should, as I think likely, problematic conduct continue. John Carter (talk) 18:07, 9 February 2014 (UTC)

User:John Carter, thank you for having momentarily put a head up from retirement. From the little I understood of the Ebionites issue (which I again apologize for not watching, a lapse of responsibility) I don't have confidence that the process is going to result in articles having more of a scholarly/SBL/JPS WP:RS approach. In ictu oculi (talk) 18:56, 9 February 2014 (UTC)

No apologies necessary. I also believe that the mediation may well be ultimately fruitless, and on that basis suggest that if some variety of official mediation were to take place, it wouldbe in everybody's best interests that any questionable conduct during mediation be available for review by administrators orarbitrators.

Request for mediation accepted

The request for formal mediation of the dispute concerning Hebrew Gospel of Matthew, in which you were listed as a party, has been accepted by the Mediation Committee. The case will be assigned to an active mediator within two weeks, and mediation proceedings should begin shortly thereafter. Proceedings will begin at the case information page, Wikipedia:Requests for mediation/Hebrew Gospel of Matthew, so please add this to your watchlist. Formal mediation is governed by the Mediation Committee and its Policy. The Policy, and especially the first two sections of the "Mediation" section, should be read if you have never participated in formal mediation. For a short guide to accepted cases, see the "Accepted requests" section of the Guide to formal mediation. You may also want to familiarise yourself with the internal Procedures of the Committee.

As mediation proceedings begin, be aware that formal mediation can only be successful if every participant approaches discussion in a professional and civil way, and is completely prepared to compromise. Please contact the Committee if anything is unclear.

Didn't you request a technical move recently involving this name? For the corresponding Russian name there is a page called Yevgeni listing people who have that as a given name.

4th century heresies

For many of those groups, I think it worth noting that even Bart Ehrman in his Lost Christianities said with only a very few exceptions, and I think the only one he names is 1 Clement (no idea why the Shepherd of Hermas wasn't also included), they were all forgeries written well after their purported time. The better recent sources for material on this topic would be the Schneemelcher/Henneke New Testament Apocrypha, which is kind of exhaustive on matters like this, and Ehrman's Lost Christianities, when supplying overview material. There is a comparatively recent book, Bad Religion by Ross Douthat, which provides some reasonable criticism, at least coming close to saying that some of the work of Ehrman, Pagels, and a few others, may be at least as motivated by their own changed views as those of, say, Jesuit scholars is. And, FWIW, having known a few Jesuit scholars, I wonder exactly how it is that they hadn't been excommunicated for their beliefs which radically divert from Catholic doctrine, so I guess I could say, in some instances, at least some of them might be more "independent" than Ehrman, Pagels, and the like.

One of the big areas of difficulty I see about the topic of Christianity as I see it is that it is so freaking huge, covered to such an incredible degree in staggering numbers of reliable sources, that it is hard, if not impossible, to really make many of the articles about major Christian topics of decent quality. The best way I can think of to address that is, basically, what I am kind of getting ready to do now, find as many good, reputable PD sources as I can for inclusion in commons or wikisource, as many well-regarded recent reference books as I can in various libraries, and list their content. Maybe, once all that is done, if it ever is, we might be able to get more of our content up to a reasonable level. John Carter (talk) 20:42, 20 February 2014 (UTC)

Vietnamese letter Đ

I've just discovered that a significant number of Vietnamese names have been entered using Ð (Unicode letter eth) instead of the identical-looking Đ (Unicode D with stroke). Examples in article titles are Ðỗ Mậu, Ngô Ðình Nhu, Hà Ðông, Ðông Pháp Thời Báo, Ðoàn Thị Ðiểm; there are many other uses within other articles. I'll put in move requests for the main ones.

Re: Necrothesp's nose

"Nose" was the most polite orifice I could think of. I could have said "mouth", but his opposition coming out of his mouth is literally the case and so the metaphor would have lost all meaning. His reasons last time were just as much pulled out of nowhere, in my opinion. He just said "this subject has long been known" without citing any evidence. Another user independently gave NGrams that showed reprints of old books from the early 20th century favour the "mm" spelling, but as I have clearly demonstrated on the current RM modern reliable sources both from the relevant governmental bodies and from universities prefer the "nm" spelling. Necrothesp also insulted me on the last RM, insinuating that I actually don't know what I'm talking about, and he clearly remembers it because he referred directly to said previous RM. How about you ask him to apologize for the arrogance of the self-proclaimed "expert"[3] and once he does that I'll apologize for my nose comment. Hijiri 88 (聖やや) 15:32, 22 February 2014 (UTC)

Mmm. In ictu oculi (talk) 16:47, 22 February 2014 (UTC)

Hey Iio, I apologized to Necrothesp for the nose comment, despite him doubling down on his earlier comment. Anyway, I noticed you stated you would support the move if both spellings were demonstrated that both were established. At the time you posted that, maybe we hadn't done so, but certainly have now. The Japanese government and universities' English publications favour the "Jinmu" spelling 3:1. Recent books written by specialists in the area also favour "Jinmu". Books using the "Jimmu" spelling, on the other hand, seem to be primarily getting their information (or at least spelling style) from Wikipedia. 182.249.54.65 (talk) 09:28, 23 February 2014 (UTC)

I see that. But I think it can stay at the old spelling with no great damage - or tighten JPMOS, which is another discussion, for all WPJapan editors. In ictu oculi (talk) 09:39, 23 February 2014 (UTC)

I plan on doing just that once the RM closes (it would obviously be totally inappropriate right now). WPJAPAN editors would almost universally interpret the current wording to say "use Jinmu", but MOS guidelines probably shouldn't need to be "interpreted". I assume you agree with me that we also shouldn't be saying "use Google"? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 182.249.240.8 (talk) 10:31, 23 February 2014 (UTC)

Well yes I generally think benchmark to modern academic sources (eg use Google Books) and build into MOS guidelines with broad input for any MOS issue. In ictu oculi (talk) 13:36, 23 February 2014 (UTC)

Pablo Casals

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you.
I am writing to you to inform you that I have submitted a note to WP:ANI concerning the edit you made to Talk:Pablo Casals#Survey. The reason for this is that I am concerned that a non-neutral point of view is causing disruption on the page through selectively ignoring important and clearly identified evidence and asserting a political view. In particular, the ostensibly WP:POV remark it seems strange for en.wikipedia to be introducing a Franco-era type ban on the name of one of the most famous Catalans appears problematic. I hope you might be able to consider the matter from a neutral viewpoint. 131.111.185.66 (talk) 10:28, 3 March 2014 (UTC)

I am just writing again to thank you for your more helpful comment on Talk:Pablo Casals. I hate heated debates and I am glad we might be able to discuss it in a calmer and more neutral way. I am not going to withdraw my post on WP:ANI, because I still think it would be useful for administrators to watch over what is a potentially controversial issue. On a note related to your comment, I just want to repeat to you that I am more than happy for Pau to be used primarily in these articles, as I have mentioned before. My whole reasoning is based around mentioning Pablo so that there is absolutely no confusion for readers (which is essentially option two). I opened the request for comments simply because it appeared as if you did not want Pablo mentioned at all. Now that it has been opened, I assume the decision comes down to the consensus of the community rather than my individual attempts at coming to a solution. 131.111.185.66 (talk) 13:41, 3 March 2014 (UTC)

Wikipedia:ANI Advice is only an essay but you might want to check item 4, which is the reason I'm not responding to argue content issues there. In ictu oculi (talk) 13:45, 3 March 2014 (UTC)

Thank you for notifying me of that page: I had not seen it before. I think it is important that my comment was not one concerning content but the general course of the discussion. Whatever happens, it might still be useful to have a note there for administrators in case something flares up in the future. 131.111.185.66 (talk) 14:06, 3 March 2014 (UTC)

Just to clarify, I do not mean by that anything that flares up with you in the future: I mean any kind of problems with any users whatsoever. 131.111.185.66 (talk) 14:07, 3 March 2014 (UTC)

Hi, simply because I wasn't confident to edit what you added "with his brothers Norman and Joe, and sister Marion" I couldn't find any evidence of a 3rd brother Joe, I believe it was Joe Melia, nor any evidence of Marion having sung with the group instead of Al Harvey.

Satan article edits by user Editguy111

The Hebrew definition of Satan has been edited from the definitive article to the generic term i.e., "satan" rather than "The Satan". I didn't notice any consensus built prior to the edit and not much afterwards. I do notice the editor stating "it is more fitting to describe the Biblical Hebrew and Modern Hebrew word as meaning Adversary instead of Accuser it is more definitively an contextually accurate". Seems as though such a statement shows POV because the context of the edit surrounds the difference between the generic term for satan (devil) which in truth is adversary and the definitive article or apellative Ha Satan (accuser).

The generic term in Hebrew is not capitalized and I would suggest the editor provide instances in biblical canon where שטן is capitalized. The source for the current revision being The Jewish Encyclopedia does not capitalize this Hebrew term in general connotation. The current revision of the article also shows cantillation marks for שטן, yet the reference is not Masoretic text so I don't see the purpose of using cantillation. I suggest a stronger consensus in the matter and taking cue from an earlier discussion regarding these definitions within the Satan talk page, that a more robust listing of definition in multiple languages be added to the page e.g., Hebrew for satan in its generic form and proper definitive Ha Satan meaning "accuser" as well as Latin and Greek definitions. Research into Latin and Greek's separation of the generic and definitive article should also be shown by an editor qualifying such edits. The context of the article embraces Hebrew primacy of the being and latter christian archetype, but only providing one Hebrew definition regardless of POV context paints the article in an adversarial light which is not the context of The Satan within Judaism thus the article portrays bias. This isn't the article known as "devil" there has been a separate wiki for the generic term related to satan. Blackson (talk) 07:56, 8 March 2014 (UTC)

re: National team

You said: "A player playing for his national team is at least as relevant as any league team."

Please point me to the guideline/policy which states this, and which states that mention of this is relevant for the lead section, which is the pertinent issue. Otherwise it's nothing more than your personal opinion. Per guidelines, the lead section is strictly intended to a summarize an article's most important aspects. Playing briefly or periodically for a national team is typically not going to fall into this category. In the case of Ales Hemsky the relevance of this information in the article's lead section should be discussed if it's to be included, because it is very clearly not one of the article's most important aspects. 173.212.80.159 (talk) 18:30, 13 March 2014 (UTC)

The fact that the article is in poor shape does not reflect on the fact that a player's national team representation is a key aspect of an athlete's notability. You are completely wrong in this instance, 173. Resolute 22:18, 13 March 2014 (UTC)

It can be, but in this instance it is clearly not. My argument is based upon guidelines and it is sound. 173.212.80.159 (talk) 22:26, 13 March 2014 (UTC)

These are false statements since they are in the plural; I won't comment on his talkpage for obvious reasons; I went there to see if anyone had scolded him for his regular putdowns and insults:

• The concensus is in the guidelines.
  • HIS guideline, as CambridgeBayWeather has pointed out in numerous responses at the RMs, don't even back up his position, and his position is in direct conflict with various others which he and his friends continue to ignore.
  • there was a discussion once on whether the ethnicity should have precedence for the name, and it was decided it shouldn't."
• There was a discussion on NCL involving a handful of editors and nowhere else. He means HE decided it wasn't; I've looked through discussions at NCP and NCET and Talk:Ethnic groups and of course IPNA, there were many people dissenting from this in those places....
• What's in Wikipedia:RJDLI strongly applies, as do these three points from WP:Wikilawyering:
  • Abiding by the letter of a policy or guideline while violating its spirit or underlying principles;
  • Asserting that the technical interpretation of the policies and guidelines should override the underlying principles they express;
  • Misinterpreting policy or relying on technicalities to justify inappropriate actions.
• Might as well see about adding another standard lawyer's tactic to that: attacking a witness/defendant on character, not on facts or actual logic, with any exaggeration and half-truth par for the course.Skookum1 (talk) 04:33, 23 March 2014 (UTC)

Singing Got Better

Hi, I'm sorry not to get back to you... life has been busy, between work and family! I see that you have moved it back to Noraega neureosseo - I agree that this is the correct title to have, thanks for moving it! Having looked at it more (perhaps I should have done that originally lol) then the English title should be a redirect to the original-language title, sorry about that!

Talk:Comox_people#Requested_move

You participated in the move request for Comox. I wanted to let you know I've put forward a more comprehensive move request. Whether you're supportive or not, your input would be appreciated given your past participation.--Labattblueboy (talk) 03:28, 27 March 2014 (UTC)

• It's not comprehensive unless Comox, British Columbia is back on the table, either added to that RM or via Move Review because of the just-closed one there. Towns as primarytopic in such cases are clearly covered by WP:CSG#Places and a host of similar cases currently on the table have been decided in the town's favour.Skookum1 (talk) 03:37, 27 March 2014 (UTC)

Sections

Re sections on dab pages and thresholds for separation, I'm not sure about guideline specs offhand, but I appreciate their value. I've seen so many dab pages over the years that I'm substantially working off broad memory, but I realize that doesn't help inform community standards. Certainly, the primary goal with a dab page is to expedite finding a desired page. Part of that, in my mind, includes a layout that balances compactness with structure, and I do think a dab page that can be seen in its entirety without scrolling has value, acknowledging that that threshold varies by browser. I'll try to resolve my understanding a bit better and get back to you. Cheers. ENeville (talk) 17:16, 27 March 2014 (UTC)

Trying to address some of the differences in formatting on Footprints in the Sand (disambiguation), since I presume that's our case example, first off, there is always variation in discretion, of course. As far as MOS:DAB guidance, the sections section (if you'll pardon me) does advise against "very small sections", and for similar sized sections (though I don't exactly get that part, even if I do it that way unconsciously). So, I would definitely avoid sections with only one entry, and probably also two, maybe three. Also, note that one only needs just enough description to distinguish entries, which contributes to short lines, which contributes to compactness, which limits required eye travel, expediting locating. Perhaps I'm on a tangent in specifics, but it speaks to the fundamental purpose, which is good to bear in mind. Rereading your question, and trying to track your intent, I'd say sections of more than around ten entries become harder to parse visually, and those can separated first with simple bold headings. If scrolling is required, then a table of contents becomes useful, requiring section headings. Again, scrolling varies by viewer, but that is a distinct performance threshold, and it's not addressed in MOS:DAB. Maybe it's worth putting wording to that effect into the guidelines? ENeville (talk) 18:36, 27 March 2014 (UTC)

By the way, music dabs sometimes seem to have esoteric issues, because readers may have only auditory knowledge with which to identify a desired article. Footprints in the Sand (disambiguation) isn't yet ideally formatted in that regard, in my mind, lacking genre info to distinguish. But, work in progress... ENeville (talk) 18:42, 27 March 2014 (UTC)

In case we are using it as an example, I tried to tighten it up a bit. ENeville (talk) 19:00, 27 March 2014 (UTC)

Many thanks. Agree with the esoteric issues comment. In ictu oculi (talk) 17:44, 1 April 2014 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Marek Jastrzębiec-Mosakowski

The article Marek Jastrzębiec-Mosakowski has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

This mostly unreferenced stub-biography feels WP:GNG, WP:BIO and Wikipedia:Notability (writers).

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 {{proposed deletion/dated}} 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 {{proposed deletion/dated}} 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. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 05:46, 1 April 2014 (UTC)

Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus, I'm not too fussed, but I do wish you hadn't used a template to tell me. Will see what pl:Wikipedia:Poczekalnia/biografie/2014:04:01:Marek_Jastrzębiec-Mosakowski brings. Cheers In ictu oculi (talk) 17:43, 1 April 2014 (UTC)

I thought about leaving you a personal note, but the template does convey all the related info. I am fine waiting to see what pl wiki discussion will decide, but please note pl wiki has next to no criteria for notability; for example they have nothing equivalent to our Notability (writers), and the AfD discussions there are often closed after two or three people invent a new temporary consensus, different from what it could've been if the discussion attracted another group of editors :< So unless the pl wiki editors turn out some sources I missed (possible but rather unlikely) I don't see how this bio passes our current criteria. For the record, I would support changing N to say that authoring a single non-self published book makes one notable, but in the past consensus has been against this.--_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 02:38, 2 April 2014 (UTC)

The article was kept, but I don't think pl wiki discussions are of high quality, as seen here. The argument for keeping it was due to a suggestion (but not a hard rule) that all Polish scholars with habilitation are notable. This is not a criteria valid on en wiki per WP:PROF. I really wish we could just get a consensus at WP:AUTHOR that publication of any non-self published book is enough to warrant an article. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 07:55, 11 April 2014 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) I'm concerned that both habilitation, and being a published author, could be setting the bar too low; and they are both tangential to what the general notability guideline says. The GNG gives us a sound basis for writing good content - substantial discussion of the subject by independent sources. bobrayner (talk) 21:03, 18 April 2014 (UTC)

re your addition to NCET

I've been trying to find out the provenance of that table; when I saw it on WikiProject Ethnic groups it didn't have the "preferred" and "unambiguous" claims on it, because of all the 5h1t flying I haven't had time to look into NCP to see who added those words there; I asked on the NCET talkpage, very politely too, and get a resounding silence as an answer; so given the way the indigenous names RMs have been closing - stripped of "people" for 95% of cases or more - it seems high time that that came out of there, and the related passage on NCL about people=language such that people must be disambiguated also should come out; "try and change the guideline" I was smugly told by one of my usual opponents; but we already have consensus across RM after RM after RM...... including many support votes pointing to TITLE and MOSDAB and elsewhere, including NCET even before you added that table....... so I'm in mood to launch a discussion in an arena where I'm snubbed when not directly insulted, but re this...what "no consensus" is she talking about?

How many RMs closed and votes cast explicitly laying out the ways that NCL is in "error", for one thing, and also endorsing NCET as a valid guideline, despite some in "that faction" wanting to pretend it's not valid because only two editors worked on it even though it was a direct lift from NCP. At this point, it's not a matter of figuring out who added those two terms, but of simply removing them per all the discussions that have taken place that conclusively prove that those two terms shouldn't be in that guideline; consensus has already spoken loud and clear. There's no point in me trying to work on NCET or take part in NCL discussions; I'm the unwelcome guest at the party and currently an attempt is to get me booted out the door.....trying to achieve consensus with people who ignore not just other guidelines but also people pointing out that their claims are wrong even with respect to NCL is rather pointless.

From my experience with the Green Party and other groups long ago, I learned that "consensus" is really code for "a veto of one", or in this case or one, or two, of five, of people who won't listen to reason in the course of resisting change to their ideology or agenda. I'll be starting a list at IPNA, something like WP:CANLIST's listing of standalone town names with no dabs per WP:CSG#Places, listing all the standalone titles....old and the many "new" ones (most were originally standalone until NCP rewrote itself and went on a tear...). I think if it was you who reverted that back there'd be a lot less fuss than if I tried to revert it myself; I've already been through one edit war with Uysvdi, and it got ugly fast.Skookum1 (talk) 15:21, 2 April 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for note, don't have time to work on it at the moment. Best discuss on Talk page and see what others say. Good luck In ictu oculi (talk) 15:23, 2 April 2014 (UTC)

The talkpage is being stonewalled by Kwami and Usyvdi, who targeted me in an ANI currently unfolding, very hypocritically concerning her own treatment of me and Kwami's endless direct insults and putdowns, along with a general pattern of obstructionism that Floydian and CambridgeBayWeather and others have called them on, not just on indigenous titles but also at town-RMs. Have a look when you get a chance, especially at my final section there, which is a manifesto on how far off the rails Wikipedia has gone re indigenous titles since the days of the "old consensus", which I've also been meaning to try and write up and codify; which had more than only a handful of linguists-only working on it as is the case with NCL...there this line:

Where a common name exists in English for both a people and their language, a title based on that term, with explicit disambiguation, is preferred for both articles, as with Chinese people and Chinese language.

is original research and POV, and view stats on various "language-people pairs" as they call them, conclusively show that the languages are not an equally PRIMARYTOPIC as that guideline and its proponents and endlessly repetitive incantations in oppose votes on the RMs constantly maintain without ever acknowledging the many posts about why the PRIMARYTOPIC should not have disambiguation at all; I tried to raise this with Uysvdi about that guideline's inconsistency, she evaded my point by pretending I was talking about TWODABS which she at least does say is not called for in that guideline.....well, given that above sentence it is..... but as always instead of answering to questions asked, they either repeat themselves again or as on the NCET talkpage respond with silence; which to me is not just AGF but the voice of ignorance on the one hand, and refusal to discuss anything I raise, even though in countless copy-pasted oppose votes by Kwami on the RMs, calling for general discussion and a closure of the RMs and calling me "disruptive" (he's been ignored, and his insults and derisions along with those of others are also ignored while I'm the one facing an ANI as a form of BAITing to draw out my usual lengthy responses so others can tell me to shut up etc....or else....). The one-sided nature of this victimization I'm bored with and don't mean to bother you with it, but you carry more weight and respect than I am ever granted and I know you know I'm an intelligent person with cogent arguments, not "ridiculous" and "idiotic" ones and that I'm "not capable of proper discussion" etc.....where else could this be taken? Hauling these issues to RfC or something like that?

Damn, more procedure to attain the obvious, or as with the St'at'imc etc RMs last year and the "FOO people"-"FOO" RMs underway and also like the hyphen/endash business re BC regional districts a while back........I see a lot of these people doing very little substantial work and spending most of their wiki-energy on procedure and guideline-mongering....and something very much like hatred when not explicitly hatred. I came back with the intention of creating and expanding various articles only to be confronted by obstinacy and derision. And threats of official sanction if I don't learn to write in short, single sentences; complex matters cannot be detailed out via a Coles Notes mentality or style.....TLDR is an insult to me, but I'll leave that aside except to say that it's used as an excuse by people, including closers, to not listen to the relevant points presented......

The Squamish clusterfuck will have to be revisited, and it seems Haida people too, which alone of many BDD did not move, declaring no consensus even though the oppose votes were of the same pattern as debunked and outvoted elsewhere, but with town articles being undabbed and the notion that indigenous peoples' archaic/obsolete names are competition for PRIMARYTOPIC now being disproven re Shishalh/Sechelt and others....ultimately the town article will be Squamish and the category will be Category:Squamish, which was very wrongly made the indigenous category title to replace the long-standing diacriticalized Skwxwu7mesh titles; in the meantime I have articles to write, Cassiar Gold Rush, Chief Whattlekainum, Tsetsaut (currently that's only about the language, which should be at Tsetsaut language and more - getting back to various history articles in desperate need of expansion and correction and citation, and starting stubs to enable importation of IPNA content from other-language wikipedias.....and more; but am finding my time and energy spent defending myself against ongoing attack and derision and now faced with yet more procedure from minds that are anything but encyclopedic and more concerned with so-called wikiquette and protocol and procedure than content or validity. And who are doing their utmost to see me thrown out of wikipedia because I'm in their way.....

You're a busy man I know, thanks for reading this; many would not and critiques of others' agenda and editing behaviour are called NPA, while open and vicious NPAs are made regularly as part of the game.....There's another thing like what I wrote on the NCET guideline somewhere, also in a collapse box, but re this endless TLDR harrassment see here and my comments on the ANI.....I'd rather build wikipedia with good content and correct titles than have to answer to such repetitive and pompous things such as "the community tires".....so who's that "community"? Many editors know I'm good source of information and in fact a rather good writer on-point with issues, guidelines and research, they'e part of "the community too"...elsewhere and repeated in copy-paste opposed votes from JorisV there's "we have policy", using the royal "we" for the small group that wrote NCL as if they were all of Wikipedia, citing a guideline, which as explained above and elsewhere, is at extreme variance with what other guidelines say...and which is not "policy" as Floydian and others have observed in response.

About this "the community is tired" from-on-high pronouncement, I'm part of Wikipedia too, and me I'm tired of the bullshit and repetitive opposition and instruction thrown up against me, but it's clear to me that people who are challenged by big words and complex points won't and can't read what I say, and make me the issue of RM and CfD discussions rather than even attempting to try to understand what I am spending so much time (even with speed typing it's time-consuming) on the matters I raise.....instead of closing RMs and CfDs against me simply because it's me, making an editor the issue instead of the topic/content.....that's against the rules, too isn't it?

Thanks for listening, if you did.Skookum1 (talk) 16:09, 2 April 2014 (UTC)

disambiguation confusion

You recently made this following statement which I don't understand.

• Those who disagree with the current status of WP:DISAMBIGUATION should ideally launch a RFC to change what the guideline says so that it says that we disambiguate against titles rather than what it now says, which is topics. However those who do not disagree with the guideline and are simply saying that Inspector De Luca (novels) are not WP:PRIMARYTOPIC in English should note that judged by Google book sources the novels are given more English-language print source attention than the Italian TV adaptation. In ictu oculi (talk) 11:43, 8 April 2014 (UTC)

You claim that the WP:D guideline currently says we disambiguate against topics. I don't see the word "against" anywhere at all at WP:D. What do "disambiguate against titles" and "disambiguate against topics" mean? What I see WP:D saying is that we disambiguate ambiguous terms - terms which refer to more than one topic on Wikipedia, and which don't have a primary use per WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. --B2C 23:51, 10 April 2014 (UTC)

Latin music (genre)?

Hello in ictu oculi! Something's been bothering me for a long time and it's the definition of "Latin music". Right now, "Latin music" redirects to "Latin American music", yet Billboard, RIAA, and even the Latin Grammys have a very different definition of "Latin music". The former two's definition of a Latin album, for example, is any recording that has 50% of its content in Spanish regardless of where the music originates from, which is why artists from Spain and even Italy got awards just for having Spanish records. The Latin Grammys expands on this definition by including Portuguese-language recordings as well, though they mainly focus on Brazilian music and rarely artists from Portugal are nominated. Heck, they even have a category for Best Flamenco Album even though that music is from Spain. Last night, I was watching the Latin Billboard Music Awards and I noticed the number of Italians that were there. Il Volo and Andrea Bocelli got an award just for recording their records in Spanish. So I'm conflicted. On the article for "Latin American music", I have written "As a genre in the music industry, "Latin music" is used to describe any Spanish or Portuguese-language genre including those from Spain and occasionally Portugal, yet I do not know if that justifies its inclusion there if a separate article is needed. What do you think? Erick (talk) 02:57, 26 April 2014 (UTC)

Hi Erick, umm. I actually thought en.wp was following something along the Latin Grammys line, so am a bit surprised to see that redirect. Portugal/Brazil, Spain/LatAm have considerable muscial overlap so if we are following a division by continent that does seem problematic. However Spain and Portugal still require their own articles and treatment, imho. In ictu oculi (talk) 18:02, 28 April 2014 (UTC)

Yeah I was thinking along the lines of making an article called "Latin music (genre)" which deals more about how it is described as a popular genre rather than just focusing on Latin America and elaborates on why artists like Julio Iglesias are considered to be Latin singers. I'm a little confused what you meant by the last part though. Erick (talk) 19:05, 28 April 2014 (UTC)

Erick, sorry, missed replying. I mean that Latin music (genre) probably is a needed article. Stating that Music of Spain Music of Portugal require their own (sections) of popular music was stating the too obvious to be stated, and I can't see now why I did state the obvious... Cheers. In ictu oculi (talk) 01:15, 13 May 2014 (UTC)

Alright I can start with a draft when I have time. Erick (talk) 01:22, 13 May 2014 (UTC)

Hey buddy, I've created the article for Latin music (genre). Feel free to add or change anything you see necessary. Cheers! Erick (talk) 07:31, 21 July 2014 (UTC)

	The Working Wikipedian's Barnstar
	For your tireless work at organising articles containing Vietnamese names. 131.111.185.66 (talk) 18:59, 4 May 2014 (UTC)

In ictu oculi, I am sure you have seen the recent discussions at Talk:Sarah Jane Brown. Due to the actions taken by certain users there, I have lost faith in those that maintain Wikipedia and I am therefore deciding, once the matter has improved, to withdraw from editing.

Before I go, though, I wanted to send you a final message. I recognise that we had huge differences in opinion on the talk page of an article and I do not believe that we will ever agree on the matter. I want you to know, however, that I have seen your editing elsewhere and I am both grateful and admiring of your work. I would hate for you to think that I have a low opinion of you solely because of our problems at one previous article.

In recognition of your work, I am presenting you with a barnstar. This relates to the extensive time you have spent improving the names of Vietnamese articles.

I wish you all the very best in your future as a Wikipedia editor. 131.111.185.66 (talk) 18:59, 4 May 2014 (UTC)

Sorry, In ictu oculi. I had to post it temporarily on the talk page because the main page is protected. It should hopefully be copied over very soon.

Deletion guideline for community centers?

Hey man, long time no see. I just accidentally hit enter without typing a message. Anyway, is there a deletion guideline for community centers? I'm looking at Muslim Unity Center which is a community center in Michigan. The article was created by a representative for the center itself so it includes the obligatory Youtube videos and mailing list postings being passed off as reliable sources. Beyond that, there are also listings on commercial websites which the center or someone affiliated with it surely created on their own, like the profile at pluralism.org. I was wary of nominating it, though, as there might be some sort of guideline that community centers are automatically notable like embassies. Do you know how to approach this? MezzoMezzo (talk) 04:17, 8 May 2014 (UTC)

Hi. Wikipedia:Notability (local churches and other religious congregations) is only a failed guideline proposal, so I don't know. WP Religion might have someone who knows? I'd look there. In ictu oculi (talk) 04:27, 8 May 2014 (UTC)

(talk page stalker)

It would already be covered by WP:GNG anyway, which requires substantial coverage by independent sources. If a source was mostly written by somebody affiliated with the Center, then it's unlikely to be a good foundation for a neutral article. Assumptions that everything in some class has "automatic notability" lead to mass creation of very bad articles from lists & gazetteers. bobrayner (talk) 11:20, 8 May 2014 (UTC)

Hello User:Bobrayner, do you think that in this case the article would be AfD material? I had a feeling but I wasn't totally sure. MezzoMezzo (talk) 12:14, 8 May 2014 (UTC)

Apart from the selfpublished stuff, there are a couple of seemingly independent sources such as this page, although each has its flaws, so I think it's borderline. It could be argued either way at AfD, although personally I'd veer towards "delete". bobrayner (talk) 13:43, 8 May 2014 (UTC)

Vietnamese dynasties

Hi iio - a recent discussion here ended with the decision to lower-case 'dynasty' in article titles for Chinese dynasties. I think it would be good to bring consistency to Category:Vietnamese dynasties in the same way - what's your opinion? Colonies Chris (talk) 13:40, 11 May 2014 (UTC)

Colonies Chris. Hi, I don't feel strongly, but following the China decision I would now be inclined to think the same.

ANI Notice

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding reason for discussion. The thread is Personal attack removed with RPA template reverted by Omnedon.The discussion is about the topic Wikipedia talk:AT. Thank you. —В²C ☎ 18:46, 12 May 2014 (UTC)

Request per WP:NPA

For future reference, and without any implying anything about the past, I hereby request that, per WP:NPA, you not comment about contributors (including me) in a manner that may be construed as an attack (not complementary), on article and policy talk pages. Thank you. --В²C ☎ 20:29, 12 May 2014 (UTC)

Also, I would like to point out this clarification at WP:NPA#What is considered to be a personal attack?:

• Criticisms of, or references to, personal behavior in an inappropriate context, like on a policy or article talk page, or in an edit summary, rather than on a user page or conflict resolution page. Remember: Comment on content, not on the contributor.

Please note that there is no distinction made for criticisms which are accurate. That is, a criticism about personal behavior made in the context of a policy or article talk page is a personal attack, even if it's totally accurate. There are good reasons for discouraging even accurate criticisms of personal behavior on policy and article talk pages, and I hope you understand and appreciate them. In any case, thank you for taking this into account in your own behavior in the future. --В²C ☎ 23:04, 12 May 2014 (UTC)

Please read the unanimous message you had from 8 editors above. Secondly, re the section you have pasted above "inappropriate context, like on a policy or article talk page" from NPA, when your behavior (e.g. the "fucking", "bullshit", and other behavior) is already on that Talk page then repeating the reminders that others have given is not an inappropriate context, it is the appropriate context because that is where your behavior is taking place. In ictu oculi (talk) 23:40, 12 May 2014 (UTC)

That's not what WP:NPA says. If you have an issue with someone's behavior, take it to an appropriate context, like their talk page, WP:ANI, etc. The policy or article talk page is never an appropriate place to criticize others, even if the criticism is about behavior on that page. Just because we often let each other slide on that doesn't mean it's okay, or good for the project.

In that particular case, my inappropriate use of language had occurred days before your critical comment, and I had not repeated it, nor engaged in any other problematic behavior since. Dredging that up anywhere, especially there, served no purpose other than to disparage me. If that's your aim, just admit it. At least to yourself. --В²C ☎ 00:12, 13 May 2014 (UTC)

As above - Please read the unanimous comments of the other editors above - there was no NPA. And if you misbehave on a Talk page comment will be made on the Talk page. If you want to query this query this with any of the editors who already commented - which didn't include me. In ictu oculi (talk) 00:21, 13 May 2014 (UTC)

For the record, I have now politely and respectfully requested that you not criticize anyone or their behavior, including me or my behavior, on any article or policy talk page, and I have explained why. I had not made such a request prior to your most recent criticism of me at WT:AT, and that may have been a contributing factor in the related ANI discussion. I also did not cite that bullet above from WP:NPA in the ANI discussion because I had not noticed it before the ANI closed.

If this pattern of WP:UNCIVIL behavior continues, despite this request, I will pursue actions per WP:DR as appropriate. However, I will not criticize you or your behavior on an article or policy talk page - you can be sure of that. --В²C ☎ 00:33, 13 May 2014 (UTC)

I have no dispute with you, and am not interested in having one. I see you have taken this interpretation of NPA to 3 other user's talk pages, so it seems wise to centralize at WP:NPA's Talk page. In ictu oculi (talk) 00:48, 13 May 2014 (UTC)

Great. If you have no dispute with me, then please do not criticize me or my behavior. But if you must, please do so first on my user talk page. If we can't resolve it there, then we can seek outside help. But please let's not display any dirty laundry on Wikipedia's article/talk pages, okay? Thank you! --В²C ☎ 01:52, 13 May 2014 (UTC)

Moving Swansong

Hi. Please don't move articles that don't need to be moved, like Swansong. There is nothing wrong with it being where it is, as there is no other article about "swansong" (see WP:DAB). There is also no other album named "Swansong" on Wikipedia, so disambiguating it with both the artist name and "album" is completely unnecessary. I have undone your move. In the future, if you think an article should be moved, bring it up on the article's talk page first. MrMoustacheMM (talk) 18:37, 16 May 2014 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for your message. But in the case of obvious WP:MOVEs, they can be moved and if any one objects, as you did, can be reverted. But in this case I see it has been put back to dab by another user - seriously please look at the phrase "his swansong" in Google Books. The fact that the main article is at the alternative Swan song does not mean that Swansong (Carcass album) should be put over the base space. The criteria for WP:PRIMARYTOPIC are that a subject should be not just the most common use but more common than all the other uses. The Carcass album is barely mentioned in Google Books, around 20 results, but "swansong" with the original meaning gets 1000s. In ictu oculi (talk) 22:47, 16 May 2014 (UTC)

Multiple moves

Hi In ictu - sorry for the multiple move reverts. I don't typically troll your contribs, but I saw the reversion someone made of the Swansong page, and so I had a look to see the history, and came across several other pagemoves that I felt went against policy. No hard feelings, I hope - I'm sure it seemed like piling on, but that wasn't the intent. Dohn joe (talk) 23:28, 16 May 2014 (UTC)

I have put in RMs at Talk:The Calm Before the Storm, Talk:Desideratum, Talk:Strategem to add (album) in each case and redirect to dab list - in each of these case Google Books and usage related to other topics in en.wp articles indicates that there is no primary topic, and if there was it wouldn't be (album). In ictu oculi (talk) 01:18, 17 May 2014 (UTC)

Just for the record.... I don't find your actions WP:DISRUPTIVE in general. I do think that sometimes you can be a tad...enthusiastic about what you see as clear shifts in policy, or particular policy interpretations. I think you do a decent job of bringing things to WP:RM rather than make unilateral moves, especially when a policy is first questioned (e.g., the many FRMOS RMs you ran over the past couple years.)

So, along those lines, I would request that you please bring to RM any title changes that are either 1) dictdef-type titles (e.g., Desideratum), or titles that differ from others because of added punctuation (e.g. Love?). As we've seen, these are not uncontroversial moves, and support has gone both ways in RMs. Maybe we can determine what current WP consensus is on these issues. Last request - please keep them as separate requests, so that each one can be evaluated on its own merits. Hope you take this in the spirit it was intended - I do appreciate much of the work you do on WP - especially in content creation. Dohn joe (talk) 16:29, 23 May 2014 (UTC)

Thank you, I know my editing is not remotely disruptive, but I am glad to see yourself disassociate from talk page activity such as this. I take the temperature of what is an isn't covered by WP:MOVE from the barometer of previous moves. In the case of a !, or a few similar ?, what's clear is that there isn't a clear consensus, yet. On dictdef, I don't see Desideratum as a dictdef, but we'll see where that heads with current RMs. More generally you may or not agree we do have a problem with song/albums in (a) the accumulation of completely non-notable and non-encyclopedic and (b) not even released material - a problem films and books for example don't have.

Can you clarify what you meant here? What is the 'lesser half of WP:PRIMARYTOPIC'?

Recent moves

Hi In ictu - your favorite follower here. :) With a request - please do not move a title just to add disambiguation, while leaving the previous base name to redirect. This is against WP guidance, and doesn't make sense. If the problem is the article at the base name, then it does no good to leave the base name pointing to the "wrong" article. If on the other hand the base name is the "right" article, then it goes against WP policy and practice to disambiguate just because. An example of the one is Alise, which could plausibly redirect elsewhere than the album. But you had left Alise redirecting to the album, as I recall, which leaves titles in a state of flux for someone else to notice and fix. You are inconsistent in this practice. (For example, Lo Mejor is now a dab page, but Shinwa still points to the EP.) Let me know if I'm not making sense. Thanks! Dohn joe (talk) 21:18, 16 June 2014 (UTC)

Also, as I went going through, I noticed a bunch of moves to add artist/band names to article titles when the artist/band name is not actually part of the title, so I reverted. Just because it appears on a CD cover does not make it part of the title. I would wager that the vast majority of album cover feature the artist's name somewhere...

Music titles

Please stop making up album titles, as at Billy "Crash" Craddock Sings His Greatest Hits. I have notified you on multiple occasions that this is improper. It goes against WP:OR and WP:DISAMBIGUATION, for a start. If you feel disambiguation is needed, use parentheses. As the guideline says, it is not natural disambiguation to manufacture a name. Dohn joe (talk) 23:55, 21 June 2014 (UTC)

I wish you wouldn't use language like "making up", when we have Neil Sedaka Sings His Greatest Hits to claim that Billy "Crash" Craddock Sings His Greatest Hits is "making up" a title is unhelpful. In ictu oculi (talk) 01:26, 22 June 2014 (UTC)

Neil Sedaka's album is a different album, with a different, but similar, title. I don't see the relevance of the comparison. Dohn joe (talk) 02:35, 22 June 2014 (UTC)

Btw - I'll retract the "making up" statement in this case, as it does appear that the title you moved to does appear in a minority of sources. It was my error in not confirming. I hope you can understand my reaction, however, given the other album titles that you did make up by synthesizing the artist/band name and the true title just because they appear together on the album cover. I'll try to be more careful in the future - hope you will as well! Dohn joe (talk) 01:49, 23 June 2014 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Trigga tha Gambler

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Trigga tha Gambler requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a band or musician, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Rote Lippen soll man küssen

Rote Lippen Soll Man Küssen? Soll man? German singers would record "Rote Lippen soll man küssen". I don't know how closely we have to follow a source that doesn't know it. - The German article is no help, because this title is not mentioned. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:49, 25 June 2014 (UTC)

Move of V.O.S to V.O.S. (Korean band)

Hi,

I saw that you moved V.O.S to V.O.S. (Korean band), but I'm not really sure why. It seems unnecessary to use parenthetical disambiguation, since I don't think there is any other article with the exact title "V.O.S". Also, you changed the name from being spelled without a third period to being spelled with a third period. While I personally don't know what the correct spelling is, since the Korean Wikipedia article uses "V.O.S" without a third period, I'm guessing that is the right spelling. Unless you are sure the band is spelled with a third period, I think it should be at "V.O.S". Was it perhaps instead your intent to change the redirect page V.O.S. to redirect to the disambiguation page Vos? If you intended to do that, I would agree with doing that, but I don't agree with the change you actually made. I think V.O.S. (Korean band) should be moved back to V.O.S. Calathan (talk) 04:56, 30 June 2014 (UTC)

I would take the view that the absence or presence of the third . is not enough to distinguish the Korean boy band from anything else on VOS. Maybe it would it we were speaking about very well known topic in English sources, but this is a name that occurs in Korean text. In ictu oculi (talk) 05:01, 30 June 2014 (UTC)

I'm not following you at all. The changes you have made don't help anyone find other pages, and just put the Korean band at an incorrect title. Currently, anyone searching for V.O.S. or V.O.S still ends up at the band's page. Anyway, I think people are unlikely to type V.O.S without a third period unless they want the Korean band, and anyone who does leave off the third period by mistake can just be referred to the disambiguation page with a hatnote. Right now, there aren't any other articles titled V.O.S, so the band should be at that page. Again, I think a hatnote is the right way to let people who leave off the third period by mistake find the page they were actually looking for. As I said above, I also think that V.O.S. with a third period should redirect to Vos, since that name isn't specific to the band. I'm going to go ahead and make that change. I'm also going to move V.O.S. (Korean band) back to V.O.S and add a hatnote to it, since I think that is a better solution to this situation than the change you made. Also, while I was typing this, I noticed you suggested an AFD on my talk page. I would be entirely fine with that . . . I previously removed a BLPPROD from the article, but I didn't do that because I thought it met the notability guidelines. So please feel free to start an AFD if you want to. Calathan (talk) 05:26, 30 June 2014 (UTC)

In reply to your comment on my talk page, I don't think your claim that "we don't disambiguation by missing dots" has any basis in the disambiguation guidelines. It is common on Wikipedia to have different pages with very similar spelling (for example Age, Agé, Åge, and Âge). WP:DISAMBIGUATION says to use natural disambiguation when possible, rather than using parentheses. Also, having the hatnote makes it easy for anyone to find the page they want if they end up at the wrong page. I think the changes you are suggesting neither conform to the guidelines not help anyone find the page they want. However, if you want to start a move discussion, then feel free to do so (though if you are going to start an AFD, then the title will be moot if the article is deleted). Calathan (talk) 05:46, 30 June 2014 (UTC)

Sources for Age, Agé, Åge, and Âge are in the Latin alphabet, 브이오에스 aren't. Anyway. In ictu oculi (talk) 05:50, 30 June 2014 (UTC)

All the Best! RM

Hi,

If you really want me to, I'll close it; however, I would advise against it. The issue deserved to be heard, and the question at the heart of the RM was entirely legitimate. Withdrawl might be seen as an indication to opposers that you accept their strongest criticisms. Even though the RM might fail, it is (almost) always helpful to encourage discussion. The case of Hillary Rodham Clinton is the exception that proves the rule, and this issue has not reached the limit of absurdity to which her article was taken.

Take heart -- I know it must be difficult to follow the path that you do at RM, raising sound proposals that are so often and so loudly subjected to ridicule by a forceful opposition. In some cases, your RMs will succeed; in some, they will fail. Whatever the outcome, you are doing a service to the community in striving for reader recognizability. I often agree with you, and occasionally don't... but, in every instance, the questions you raise are important and interesting to consider in relation to policy and guidelines.

Request

When moving pages and creating dab-pages, could you check if that creates links to disambiguation pages at templates? I see your work strikingly often when cleaning up the templates. The Banner talk 13:23, 5 July 2014 (UTC)

I know, I do, but it takes time for template changes to catch up on what links here. But noted. Thanks. In ictu oculi (talk) 16:29, 5 July 2014 (UTC)

It is not a case of "Wikipedia has to catch up". It is a case of "acting upon something and not caring what are the consequences because others will clean that up". This evening there were nine templates with links to disambiguation pages. Six of them because of page moves by you. This is quite disruptive. The Banner talk 22:46, 12 July 2014 (UTC)

Basic WP:42

Redirection is a perfectly legitimate alternative to deletion for a subject that has zero independent sources provided and yet may be a legitimate search term. It is the WP:BURDEN of anyone who wishes to claim she is notable in her own right to provide the independent sources that cover the subject in significant manner that is not tied to the event-- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 14:01, 5 July 2014 (UTC)

Weird page moves

Hi- could you please clarify for me why you're making moves like the ones I have listed below? It seems completely pointless to disambiguate a title when you're just going to redirect the primary title to the disambiguated title. Do you have any policy-based reason to support your actions? J Milburn (talk) 18:38, 10 July 2014 (UTC)

• A.D.I.D.A.S. > A.D.I.D.A.S. (Korn song)
• No Place to Hide (film) > No Place to Hide (1970 film)
• S.S.T. > S.S.T. (song)
• The First 10 Years > The First Ten Years (Joan Baez album)
• Self Made Man > Self Made Man (Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles) (this one messed up the italics, as well, as the programme's name should be italicised)

I leave the redirect untouched for a couple of days so anyone watching the article can revert by WP:BRD. Please look at the edit summaries. Talk:A.D.I.D.A.S. mentions the A.D.I.D.A.S. (Killer Mike song) "Given the other song, not to mention the Adi Dassler company, this can't really claim absolute primary topic". If the redirects are immediately altered that prevents those watching the page from having a say.

Likewise Wikipedia:Naming conventions (films) requires dab from No Place to Hide (1956 film) No Place to Hide (1970 film) No Place to Hide (1981 film) and No Place to Hide (1993 film).

Likewise " S.S.T. to S.S.T. (song): extensive dab at SST) " that isn't "weird", how is it weird?

Likewise The First 10 Years to The First Ten Years (Joan Baez album): "nothing on cover, listed books as "Ten") isn't weird, not in my view anyway.

The TV episode is not the primary topic over Self-Made Man (book), etc. In ictu oculi (talk) 23:17, 10 July 2014 (UTC)

Ok, this seems reasonable, but surely you're only doing half a job if you leave the redirect in place? The redirect should instead be going to a dab page (or be turned into a dab page). What's "weird" is the fact that the natural title in each of these cases is just housing a redirect to an unnatural title- that seems pointless. Or will you be going back to sort out the redirects after you've left some time for BRD? As long as you'll definitely be going back to sort them out, I have no objection to what you're doing.

As for the italic title thing, the easiest way is probably to use {{DISPLAYTITLE}}- for instance, you'd use {{DISPLAYTITLE:Self Made Man (''Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles'')}}. J Milburn (talk) 08:54, 11 July 2014 (UTC)

I fully agree, in most cases the redirect should go to a dab. Unless if it's a WP:PUNCT issue when maybe there's a case. I may have missed going back on a few recently, but at least 48 hours is needed to not circumvent WP:BRD ..and then someone tries to do a restore with a RM from the wrong end, which is ugly. Thanks for the explanation on italics, that is completely new to me. I will try it and see results. In ictu oculi (talk) 09:19, 11 July 2014 (UTC)

Great stuff- I'll leave it to you to head through and make the DAB/italics changes as appropriate. I now see that what you're doing is valuable- it may be worth being very explicit in your move summaries in the future to prevent others like me getting confused.

Re: "To be consistent with your past opposes and reliance of minor differences for disambiguation you should oppose these moves at length and repeatedly." and "Other users may support this, but on the basis of your past views on titling you should oppose all possible alternatives here." - I didn't want to clutter the talk page responding to a personal attack, so I'll ask you here to please keep things civil. I asked a simple question about reliable sources, which is where all our titling discussions should start. No need to foist your mischaracterizations of my "views on titling" on an RM when you don't understand them. Consider striking those sentences. Dohn joe (talk) 15:51, 18 July 2014 (UTC)

You have expended so many bytes on the subject it's possible to understand your views. In ictu oculi (talk) 16:36, 18 July 2014 (UTC)

And yet I afraid you don't. I'd actually love it if you could summarize your perception of what my views are. That way, I can see if I can state them more clearly. If you can't see them, it's likely others can't either. And it's hard to have a productive discussion when people don't have a good grasp of where the others are coming from. Dohn joe (talk) 17:46, 18 July 2014 (UTC)

Categories

Dear In ictu oculi, I'm perfectly fine if you disagree on some occasional recategorization from my side based on content arguments and if you revert them accordingly. Generally speaking though, the point is to categorize articles as low in the tree as possible. If everyone would classify articles both in categories and in parent categories and in grandparent categories etc., the parent categories would become overwhelmingly big, the grandparent categories even more so, and so the parent and grandparent categories would no longer serve any purpose (while the purpose is to show articles that don't fit in any child category). Marcocapelle (talk) 16:53, 18 July 2014 (UTC)

The categories you removed from Gehenna weren't parent categories. Really you've only been editing since April 2014, it would be better to discuss these on talk pages, or even explain what you want to do at WP Christianity before making so many category deletions. In ictu oculi (talk) 16:55, 18 July 2014 (UTC)

That's right, that one was an argument-based disagreement. As said, I won't make a big problem of it when you are eager to revert it. Generally my category edits are meant to get the article as low in the tree as possible, after I noticed accidentally (as a reader, not as an editor) that many categories which are quite high in the tree still contain so many single articles, including articles that could have been classified lower in the tree - hence closer to the subject I was actually interested in. Or alternatively, they contained articles that had been put in category and parent category together. If all of that could be corrected, it would make life quite a bit easier for me as a reader to search for the right content, and also for fellow-readers for that matter. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:26, 18 July 2014 (UTC)

I'm not watch-listing all the pages you've removed cats from, but I request you note on Talk pages why you're removing categories. Thanks. In ictu oculi (talk) 17:36, 18 July 2014 (UTC)

Really? Is it necessary to discuss every edit upfront, instead of giving an explanation in the edit summary? This is the first time I hear this so I'm a bit surprised. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:45, 18 July 2014 (UTC)

Doing category removals on this scale from a new editor and the ones on articles I watch weren't, sorry, that helpful, yes, I think it would be advisable to seek discussion. In ictu oculi (talk) 17:47, 18 July 2014 (UTC)

Honestly I wouldn't know what you would want to know from me on top of the explanation in the edit summary. I mean, either you agree or you disagree with the explanation, I'll leave that up to you, but the explanation in itself is clear, isn't it? Especially after I've given you a bit more of background info just now. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:10, 18 July 2014 (UTC)

Meanwhile I've added the explanation on talk pages of three articles for which you reverted my edits yesterday. I've done so primarily for you to know that I'm acting in good faith. I don't have the intention to do this for every next edit though. In the end it's just a trade-off between editor's interests (who want to have the biggest possible exposure and be enlisted in as many categories as possible) and readers' interests (who want to have the most targeted list of related articles). Wikipedia rules do protect readers' interests to a fair amount but the interpretation of the rules can always be disputed in every single case and that's exactly the type of disputes I don't need to get involved in.

Hi, I'm Kudpung. In ictu oculi, thanks for creating The Beatstalkers!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. The article has been tagged as having no sources. I notice that you ha an 'autopatrolled' flag.

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. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 12:36, 27 July 2014 (UTC)

I can't see why you tagged this. This was evidently a highly notable band that much was obvious from the release of the David Bowie song. And I jumped to it and loaded on extra sources. But don't expect me to do that every time. This is a collegiate project and if a stub meets WP:IDEALSTUB then a start is made. In ictu oculi (talk) 00:44, 28 July 2014 (UTC)

I can see clearly why I tagged it. At the time of its creation it was totally unsourced and as a holder of the Autopatrolled flag you are expected to create articles that do not produce red alerts at NPP. Do not presume too much from WP:IDEALSTUB - you are well aware of the extremely strong recommndations for users to create articles in user space or draft space when they are not ready for mainspace. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 00:53, 28 July 2014 (UTC)

Joseph Riepel

Hi. I'm just letting you know that I have expanded a stub you created by translating part of the original 'other Wiki' article. In my experience, such stubs are not likely to attract the attention of local en.Wiki users who will spend time on such translations, and will risk remaining as perma-stubs. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 01:10, 28 July 2014 (UTC)

Well wouldn't it be better to just not have a stub at all then? In ictu oculi (talk) 01:52, 28 July 2014 (UTC)

That would certainly be my opinion. It would also help reduce the load on the NPP process - especially where the creations by autopatrolled users still have to be checked. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 06:54, 28 July 2014 (UTC)

Generally if there's a well-developed article in a non-English wiki the subject is notable. In ictu oculi (talk) 06:57, 28 July 2014 (UTC)

There is no such thing as popular / unpopular articles in an encyclopedia. There are however popular and unpopular ways in which encyclopedias are produced. Just making work for other editors and patrollers is unproductive, especially when stubs are created from foreign language Wiki articles that aren't sourced either. The number of editors here who are prepared to sit down and simply do translations for lazy editors is practically non existant. I do a lot of translation because, a) I'm multilingual, and b) I may have some subject knowledge, and c) I'm sometimes asked - that's how the huge Brontë family article came into existence from a 4-line stub; quite discgraceful to think that another languiage Wiki had a huge article about something so crucial to English literary history. That was worth translating and reediting - 60 hours well spent rather than 60 hours patrolling patrollers and autopatrolled stub creators. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 07:28, 28 July 2014 (UTC)

I see. In ictu oculi (talk) 07:35, 28 July 2014 (UTC)

Hello. Since you're involved in article's titling, I wanted an opinion whether it is possible to move Get Rich or Die Tryin' (album) to Get Rich or Die Tryin'?

Thanks for your edits to racehorse articles. Changing "x" to "x (horse)" makes sense. When creating articles I don't usually include (horse) unless there is an existing article of the same name, but I haven't really thought about whether there might be a future dab issue.

Bad faith?

Independent of whether I get blocked, I wanted to tell you that I'm not operating in bad faith. Here's what happened on the Jesus page:

• I added "and Jesus of Galilee" about 4 days ago, including a single citation.
• Hazhk reverted this morning, saying "A passing reference is one book which, predominately refers to him as "Jesus of Nazarethe", is not evidence of widespread usage."
• I added a talk page section, and listed several sources there.
• I re-added the material with an additional schlolarly source (which made more than a passing reference)
• FutureTrillionaire reverted, saying "(BOLD, revert, discuss. Also, I don't think "Jesus of Galilee" is used often enough to justify its inclusion.)"
• I re-added the material with a biblical citation, figuring that would be authoritative.
• Tom harrison reverted, saying "not common enough."

• I replaced the material one last time. I thought about adding yet another citation, but that would be inappropriate in the Lead. This was my third and last revert.
• Calidum reverted, saying "rmv per previous rationales; get consensus first."
• I opened a AN3 discussion.

Now, here's what I did wrong:

• I was snippy in my talk page notes to FutureTrillionaire, Tom harrison, and Calidum. Not ad hominem, but I was curt, as they'd not bothered to discuss.
• I should have skipped the third revert (But I was curious if one of the same people would revert.)
• I should have used DRN, not AN3.

As a matter of background: I use the name "Fearofreprisal" to edit articles where making changes that upset powerful people can lead to reprisals. I've tackled Joe Arpaio, who used to have meatpuppets sanitizing the article, and who has paid out tens of millions of dollars in legal damages for reprisals against his critics. I've taken on a band of Chinese cyber-bullies trying to take over a BLP page - and was outed and targeted by them as a result (I was interviewed by both the New York Times and the Los Angeles Times because of my efforts.)

Recently, I've been trying to help fix the perennially broken Historicity of Jesus article, and have met with a lot of animosity -- especially from John Carter (a recidivist known for trying to drive away editors he doesn't like.)

On the Jesus page, I was just adding a small thing that seemed like it ought to be there. It seemed non-controversial. When I found the edit being reverted, I wanted to try and figure out what was going on.

So, though I certainly made some mistakes, I wasn't operating in bad faith. Fearofreprisal (talk) 02:49, 25 August 2014 (UTC)

It was the admin who refused your WP:AN3 on those editors who said you were trying to get other editors blocked, I didn't say that, that's his/her comment. I'm not really interested in the other pages, your activity on the Jesus article is being spectacularly disruptive. Please also no further comment here, if it relates to article on article Talk, if it relates to ANI on ANI, my Talk page isn't a forum. Thanks. In ictu oculi (talk) 02:54, 25 August 2014 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Los Ángeles (band)

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Los Ángeles (band) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a band or musician, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

I Am King DAB

I noticed your recent move of I Am King --> I Am King (Code Orange album), and changing of I Am King to a disambiguation page. I suppose this was an okay move in general, however, are you planning on creating an article for I Am King (Trae tha Truth album) any time soon? If not, then someone should move I Am King (Code Orange album) --> I Am King (album) as this specific disambiguation is only required if there are two existing articles with the same name about the same subject, which there is currently not. Cheers, —Fezmar9 (talk) 21:37, 29 August 2014 (UTC)

Actually that's not what WP:Naming conventions (music) says an that album is sown all over half a dozen articles. But sure, I'll remove the name of the artist. In ictu oculi (talk) 00:08, 30 August 2014 (UTC)

Actually that's exactly what WP:Naming conventions (music) says: "Use further disambiguation only when needed [...] unless multiple albums (or songs) of the same name exist, they do not need to be disambiguated any further." Fezmar9 (talk) 00:37, 30 August 2014 (UTC)

The previous album clearly does "exist". But having said that, it doesn't seem to justify the 7 or 8 mentions it has in our articles. If you believe it is helpful to readers to remove the name of the artist of the 2014 album then by all means move to remove Code Orange. Cheers. In ictu oculi (talk) 00:51, 30 August 2014 (UTC)

"Exist" in that context means whether or not a Wikipedia article exists, not whether or not something literally exists in the real world. Perhaps the way it's worded at WP:DAB will clear up any confusion: "Disambiguation is required whenever, for a given word or phrase on which a reader might search, there is more than one existing Wikipedia article to which that word or phrase might be expected to lead" (my emphasis, not theirs). As I said above, if you're planning on creating an actual article sometime soon at I Am King (Trae tha Truth album), then it's fine to keep it the way it is. But if not, it should be moved.

Stylizations

I've reverted your blanket removals of the "stylized as" entries on articles on Japanese language albums that have English language titles. There is no reason to remove these, as these are the means by which these album's titles are written in nation of origin. They are simply not allowed for use on the English Wikipedia as article titles, and are included as "stylizations" because of the MOS sticklery that abounds on this project.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 15:22, 1 September 2014 (UTC)

Please provide WP:RS sources on Talk page of article. In ictu oculi (talk) 15:25, 1 September 2014 (UTC)

The reliable sources are the album cover itself and official print material for the album in Japanese. There's no reason for you to blanket remove these because you claim there's no English language sources that print it this way. It's a Japanese stylization. These articles should clarify that for things like Misia's New Morning or what have you.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 15:26, 1 September 2014 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Dalia (Egyptian singer)

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Dalia (Egyptian singer) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This article or image appears to be a direct copy from http://www.mediander.com/connects/40054161/dalia-(egyptian-singer)/#!/video. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Mr. Guye (talk) 00:59, 4 September 2014 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) Apparently, Mr. Guye later concluded that the copying had occurred in the other direction, and thus removed the speedy deletion request, so this notice is obsolete. (However, please see the other notice below.) —BarrelProof (talk) 01:32, 4 September 2014 (UTC)

Landsale

Hallo, I came across Landsale while stub-sorting and find various problems:

• You moved the album to Landsale (P-Model album), but:

• It doesn't need the detailed disambiguation, as Landsale (album) seems unambiguous
• You did nothing to clean up the incoming links, which now lead to the wrong article

• You created the current Landsale but:

• It doesn't say what "landsale" actually means, just that it's "a system": like a botanical article saying it's "a plant". There's no content to the article, just a series of instances of the term being used.
• It's completely unsourced
• It looks, from OED, to be not so much a "system" as an adjective: OED has "land sale n. (a) a sale of land; (b) applied attrib. to collieries which are worked on a small scale and from which coal is supplied only to the country round; pl. the coal so disposed of." with a couple of examples using "landsale" rather than "land sale". So it might be more appropriate as an entry in Glossary of coal mining terminology, linked either by a hatnote from the album article replaced at its original title, or from a 2-entry dab page.

Please could you tidy it up? Thanks.

PS I note also that Land sale and Land sales redirect to different articles which don't link to each other, let along linking to either sense of "landsale"! PamD 07:33, 5 September 2014 (UTC)

Done, no problem, thanks for reminder, I'm no great expert on mining, but I remember from schooldays that (as Google Books) land-sale is a small rented colliery, not a non-notable Japanese album. That album article requires AFD not disambiguating. Cheers. In ictu oculi (talk) 09:29, 5 September 2014 (UTC)

With all due respect, I'm restoring a ref to cite the article as it is titled. I fail to see how this makes any point at all. I'm not using that edit to disrupt wikipedia or make any kind of point.

Lu lin

Please tell me how asking me if "vowel" means vowel and "tone mark" means tone mark could have any other purpose than to insult my intelligence, or asking me if I know the difference between a vowel and a tone when I have stated several times that I do and never give any reason to believe that I do not. Please stop this kind of disruptive editing immediately. - Metal lunchbox ^(talk) 04:12, 9 September 2014 (UTC)

As I have just said [here http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk%3ANaming_conventions_%28Chinese%29&diff=624760951&oldid=624756587] You are currently arguing against WP:NC-CHINA and WP:PINYIN (or at least the common understanding of those guidelines shown in the status quo in the article corpus) on 4 article Talk pages and 2 guideline Talk pages. In those Talk pages the guidelines should be clearly stated. The nub of the misunderstanding appears to be the difference in the guidelines between a "vowel" and "tone mark" - it is incumbent upon yourself as someone proposing the longstanding status quo of the guidelines not be applied to respond to the difference between a vowel and a tone mark. Please restrict further communication to relevant article Talk pages where all can see. Thank you. In ictu oculi (talk) 04:19, 9 September 2014 (UTC)

Those discussions have long since diverged and turned into little more than you hounding me, even pasting the same thing over and over. I'm discussing this here, because it concerns you and me, and has nothing to do with the intended topics of those discussions. I'm not arguing against those guidelines, you have repeated that at least half a dozen times, I've lost track. You know what those guidelines you keep quoting say? One is just a brief description of what order tone marks are applied in and doesn't say anything about whether Lu Lin should use an "umlaut" on WP. I have responded to those quotes directly several times. You refuse to even read my answers and keep repeating yourself, meanwhile accusing me of some kind of sneaky scheme to secretly overturn some unwritten rule by making changes about totally unrelated articles, and directly insulting my intelligence. I'm coming here, asking you to be civil. - Metal lunchbox ^(talk) 04:32, 9 September 2014 (UTC)

Understanding plurals

Hi In ictu - I'm trying to understand your reasoning behind the recent spate of plural term moves and RMs. Can you explain to me why you believe our readers benefit when Bookends redirects to Bookend? The former gets far more pageviews, and is a lengthy, well-written, well-referenced article. The latter is barely more than a dictdef - two short paragraphs that get far fewer pageviews. As you saw, very few editors link to Bookends when they mean bookends. The same goes, to a lesser extent, for Parachutes, which itself has been rated a good article. If you could explain your rationale, I'd appreciate it! Dohn joe (talk) 18:18, 13 September 2014 (UTC)

Please see BD2412's comments in Parachutes RM. In ictu oculi (talk) 22:57, 13 September 2014 (UTC)

Okay, I still don't see how his comments affect the Bookends debate. If anything, it's a stronger argument for leaving it as is, given the lack of mislinks. Would you explain your thinking in that case in particular? Thanks. Dohn joe (talk) 01:53, 14 September 2014 (UTC)

Please see all BD2412's comments in Parachutes RM. In ictu oculi (talk) 02:07, 14 September 2014 (UTC)

I did. Parachute/Parachutes is different from Bookend/Bookends in many respects, including the relative quality of the singular vs. plural articles and the pageviews. Leave Parachutes to the side for now. Would you please explain to me how directing Bookends to Bookend is a good thing for our readers? Thanks. Dohn joe (talk) 02:34, 14 September 2014 (UTC)

scarlet lettering user creme de la creme

It is inappropriate to label every recent utterance by user:La crème de la crème on talk pages with a link to the sockpuppet investigation you participated in about that user. Unless you have some reason to believe that the sockpuppet investigation is somehow relevant to the discussion, all the link-label accomplishes is to mark the user as vaguely suspicious. So if there is evidence that sockpuppetry is occuring on that page then you should make some mention of it and link to the investigation, if there isn't then you should leave it out completely. I recommend you remove the links from all applicable pages. - Metal lunchbox ^(talk) 12:51, 15 September 2014 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) To me, it seems valuable to know when the remarks in a Talk page discussion (especially a currently active discussion such as a requested move) may be from a sockpuppet of a banned user. It invites investigation of that question and helps determine what weight to put on such remarks. The person closing a discussion thread would presumably take that information into account. It also may encourage, when appropriate, keeping the discussion open until the investigation has a clear outcome. It may also be worth mentioning that this is not a discussion of old edits and some stale investigation that someone participated in at some point in distant Wikipedia history. This is about edits made within the last week, and a sockpuppet investigation that was just filed three days ago that remains marked as open, and all comments made so far in that discussion have supported the notion that this user is likely to be a banned sock. —BarrelProof (talk) 20:38, 15 September 2014 (UTC)

No, like I said, I am basically a lay person. The issue is that even minority or FRINGE theories need some explanation if they are notable. Undue weight can lead to them buried in footnotes or separate articles, but they still need some mention in the overview of the topic. Andrevan@ 02:45, 18 September 2014 (UTC)

The big problem seems to be the treatment of the secular Maurice Casey. Andrevan@ 03:19, 18 September 2014 (UTC)

Why? Seems to be consistent with treatment of many other non-developed theses. In academic religious studies 1 person theories need to at least require a measure of validation and notability by accumulating some collegiate peer support and become a "school" developing the idea. Typically such a process bears fruit within a decade, in this case that isn't evident. That's the difference between a minority idea and a 1 person idea. As far as I can judge Casey's thesis looks to not have attracted support to become a major stream that deserves representation along with the main streams where dozens of scholars have aligned with each thesis. While it is effectively a 1 person idea it remains specific to the 1 scholar bio, not the topic field as a whole. In ictu oculi (talk) 03:48, 18 September 2014 (UTC)

I know I've contacted you about this issue before, but... You moved a page back in April from a normal title to a disambiguated title, but, since then, the normal title has just pointed to the disambiguated title.

Johnny Trí Nguyễn

I was wondering if I could get your help on something, since I noticed that you've contributed a lot to Vietnamese topics on Wikipedia. I recently noticed that the page for the actor Johnny Tri Nguyen was deleted for a lack of notability. Disregarding the fact that the user who nominated that page for deletion seemed to have a personal agenda with many of his edits, I find this (and the discussion on the deletion page) quite annoying for several reasons. They dismissed him based on his minor stuntwork in the US and a lack of English press coverage, but I thought Wikipedia was an international website. Anyone who has followed Vietnamese entertainment in the past 10 years knows he is one of the biggest movie stars in Vietnam, and I even recall international press mentioning him when talking about the impact of Viet Kieu on Vietnam's film industry. There are thousands of pages for major stars of foreign countries, yet I get the feeling that the people who voted to delete the article did so based on a bias against developing countries, as if "Oh Vietnam's so poor and insignificant, who cares?". I don't know if I'm overreacting as I'm not even really a big fan of his, but I'm just baffled that one of Vietnam's biggest stars is deemed "not notable".Khocaon (talk) 23:43, 25 September 2014 (UTC)

Khocaon, well spotted, again. I've moved the French footballer out of the way. All five incoming links were actually for the actor, so I've redirected it to the actor. Unless there's a third Johnny Nguyen a dab page isn't justified. In ictu oculi (talk) 10:14, 26 September 2014 (UTC)

Completely baffled by MDtemp's response on his page. I remember reading that deletion entry and seeing how every editor who voted to delete confirmed that there were no references to prove his notoriety, yet all it took us was a few minutes on google and we found sources in English from major American publications. This is all a moot point as the article is undeleted, but it just annoys me how people fail to take accountability for carelessness.Khocaon (talk) 20:01, 15 October 2014 (UTC)

Sure okay, well as per reply there, I had already opened 3 mixtape albums as RMs, and have now reverted (contrary to Wikipedia:Naming conventions (music) in my view) the 4 other mixtape albums waiting on wider input at the of the RMs. In ictu oculi (talk) 05:07, 29 September 2014 (UTC)

Just FYI, you also did not need to perform the page move to EatShitNDie (album), as there is no other Wikipedia topic for "EatShitNDie." (In other words, there was nothing to disambiguate – see WP:DISAMBIG). Similar deal with The Complete Library Of Congress Recordings (which I've already addressed). -- Gyrofrog (talk) 20:15, 1 October 2014 (UTC)

Request for Intervention

User:In ictu oculi, There is currently a dispute between me and a few editors about what is considered worthy or not worthy of publishing on a WP article page because of what may or may not be perceived by others as distasteful (bad taste).

Mexico en la Piel

I have a favor to ask. Currently Mexico En La Piel links to an album by Luis Miguel, no doubt a very popular album. But the album is just a collection of standard Mexican including the song the album is named after. So I was wondering if you could look anything on Google Books about the original song for "Mexico en la piel", since readers would only get directed to the Luis Miguel album and I'm pretty sure it's not a primary topic if I'm not mistaken. Thanks in advance, Erick (talk) 23:42, 15 October 2014 (UTC)

Diacritics, oh yeah

Check this out, they include diacritics for place names in Portugal and Vietnam. Last time, certain someone demanded to remove diacritics because he gave sources from the press/newspapers to justify his argument. Well, as we know, in the press, they use like that is cuz the convenience in typing. But Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, it needs to have full native spellings except for Anglicize/common names. ༆ (talk) 19:16, 19 October 2014 (UTC)

P-MODEL and CAPS

Hey. About the CAPS thing: After reading tons of articles in Japanese (where stuff like album/song titles are rendered in either the way they were typeset or in katakana) I've accustomed to spelling certain titles in ALL CAPS ("P-Model" always looks kinda weird to me), I also thought artistic intent (the titles of "Potpourri" & "Perspective" weren't rendered in caps, as well as latter cases were standard capitalization and CAPS are mixed together, so I'd say stuff like capitalization was paid attention to) would be tolerated. Can't a message (something like "the titles of this album and its songs are stylized in all caps") be included on top of the album articles? Wunkt2 (talk) 15:42, 24 October 2014

Hi Wunkt2, having copyedited a P-Model album article last month, I'd like to chime in and suggest reading Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Japan-related_articles#Article_titles. Putting a stylization phrase in the lead sentence would be okay, but not throughout the article. -AngusWOOF (talk) 21:49, 24 October 2014 (UTC)

User:Wunkt2, please see as User:AngusWOOF suggests. The thing is that English Wikipedia is written in English not Katakana and needs to follow English capitalization. You need to go through all the articles were you have written CAPS mid sentence and correct to WP:CAPS. Thanks. In ictu oculi (talk) 23:31, 24 October 2014 (UTC)

Hello AngusWOOF. The kind of message I was thinking about was something along the lines of the message on top of Are We Not Men? We Are Devo! (by the way, you did a really good job with your editing, now I've gotten some more info on the album in question and am filling in on a couple points); after I finish this up, I'll through the other articles I created and standardize the capitalization. Wunkt2 (talk) 01:24, 25 October 2014 (UTC)

Listen & Learn

Hi! Can I ask why you moved the page Listen & Learn to Listen & Learn (Hexstatic album). As far as I can tell, we have no other topic by that name and as of now the normal title redirects to the disambiguated version. Thanks!--Yaksar (let's chat) 22:50, 26 October 2014 (UTC)

Hi, didn't get round yesterday to creating a dab. I moved it because of the many and various other topics for Listen and Learn and Listen & Learn, several of which are also arguably albums, in the sense of being recordings. But seeing as those "albums" are educational tapes happy to remove artist name if that will help readers. I've fixed the template redirect. In ictu oculi (talk) 00:20, 27 October 2014 (UTC)

Albums and tapes seem similar enough that if the tapes are a notable topic the current title with the artist name makes sense. Cheers, Yaksar (let's chat) 00:25, 27 October 2014 (UTC)

RM request

Hey! I noticed that a fair few of the moves you've been boldly making have been reverted in cases where they may be the only other title with a Wikipedia article at that exact name. As these lead to situations where there are either disambiguation pages with only one active link, or undisambiguated titles that end up just redirecting to a disambiguated one, I understand why they've been found controversial. Even in cases where these sorts of moves do make sense in my personal opinion, there's certainly been quite a bunch where the inclusion of a definite or indefinite article or even a change in punctuation has been deemed sufficient to distinguish titles. Therefore, may I ask that you put these sorts of moves (primary topic moves where either articles are slightly different in titling OR there are currently no other existing articles at the title) in an RM in the future? Thanks--Yaksar (let's chat) 09:59, 7 November 2014 (UTC)

Hi Yaksar, yes one editor has been reverting - which is fine: I edit allowing a gap for WP:BRD if needed. But I respectfully disagree with your view of disambiguation as you have expressed in Talk:The Wife, I believe this is contrary to WP:DISAMBIGUATION and WP:CRITERIA and not the norm of the encyclopedia. WP:DISAMBIGUATION states that we disambiguate by topics not by article titles. We are not helping readers by directing them exclusively to ephermeral entertainment products when there are a range of more notable topics. However willing to see what other editors say regarding Talk:The Wife and Talk:The Old Man. In ictu oculi (talk) 17:03, 7 November 2014 (UTC)

But when modifying it, make Vietnam is visible, but the problem is to estimate the location of the border line between the 2 states, as well as using the name "Van Xuan" with diacritics.

Could you do something about Slow (song)? I appreciate that the work you do is helpful, but I really hate to see ambiguous titles redirect to disambiguated titles. J Milburn (talk) 20:07, 18 November 2014 (UTC)

No problem, those two articles have been at odds with WP:NCM since 2010... In ictu oculi (talk) 23:03, 18 November 2014 (UTC)

Sorry to bug- I'm not sure if you've done what you intended to do yet, but we still have the "good" title redirecting to the bad one. If we're not going to have an article at the good title, it should either be a dab or a redirect to a dab. J Milburn (talk) 17:11, 23 November 2014 (UTC)

I started on it, there were a forest of repeating links, the what links here doesn't update quickly after template fixes. These laborious jobs are an inevitable product of WP:NCM which in effect guides to make ambiguous pipelinks with no thought to generic song titles reoccuring later. It isn't the end of the world however to have an ambiguous redirect redirect to a guideline compliant title. In ictu oculi (talk) 17:15, 23 November 2014 (UTC)

"It isn't the end of the world however to have an ambiguous redirect redirect to a guideline compliant title." No, but it's not the end of the world to have an article at a slightly more ambiguous title than is ideal, either. If you're going to have the ambiguous title redirect to one of the disambiguated titles, you may as well have left the article at the ambiguous title. My objection is to people only doing half a job, which is how it looks from my end when I come across your redirects. Compare: Even if you're printing something for the whole office, if you're the one who uses up the last of the paper in the printer, it's your job to refill it. J Milburn (talk) 23:46, 23 November 2014 (UTC)

A guideline compliant title is still beneficial, particularly to mobile users, even if it is a painful process to correct every pipelink. Which doesn't mean I don't agree with the paper refill analogy. As I said these laborious jobs are an inevitable product of WP:NCM which in effect guides to make ambiguous pipelinks with no thought to generic song titles reoccuring later.

Album article renames

Greetings. Here are some questions about some articles you renamed recently. (1) In renaming Keep On Keepin' On to Keep On Keepin' On (New Riders of the Purple Sage album), you added a talk page comment referring to "WP:NMC". What's that? There doesn't seem to be a shortcut by that name: WP:NMC. (2) In a related question, why rename the article when there's not another "Keep On Keepin' On" article? (3) Along similar lines, why rename Brujo to Brujo (album) when there's not another "Brujo" article? As far as I can tell, these renames are contrary to current guidelines. For example at MOS:ALBUM#Naming it says, "Do not pre-emptively disambiguate!" and gives some examples. — Mudwater ^(Talk) 04:09, 10 December 2014 (UTC)

(1) WP:NCM yes. (2) As I understand WP:DAB we disambiguate against existing content, not article titles. (3) Brujo can go back if you wish, I created the dab at Brujo (disambiguation). In ictu oculi (talk) 04:18, 10 December 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for explaining, and thanks for putting "Brujo" back. As far as "Keep On Keepin' On", I want to think about that some more, especially the part about disambiguating "the real world" as opposed to existing Wikipedia articles, I'm really not too sure about that. But at least you provided a list of similarly named albums. P.S. A documentary film of the same name came out this year, though there's not an article about it. Here it is on IMDb. — Mudwater ^(Talk) 04:36, 10 December 2014 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Arthur L. Hammond

The article Arthur L. Hammond has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

I declined speedy deletion under CSD A7, enough assertion of notability to overcome that CSD guideline. However, subject appears to fail WP:GNG, at least from the references provided.

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 {{proposed deletion/dated}} 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 {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.

Adjwilley and John Carter already know about the username move. I also let Middayexpress know here, and StAnselm know here. Flyer22 (talk) 06:54, 16 December 2014 (UTC)

I'm wishing you a Merry Christmas, because that is what I celebrate. If you don't like Christmas or just don't celebrate it in any of its forms, then please accept a generic "Happy Holidays". If you celebrate no holidays at this time of year, then hopefully you will be satisfied with an even more generic "Season's Greetings".  :)
