InterstellarGamer12321 (talk | contribs) 17:39, 4 November 2023 (UTC)I am new to the Requested Move (RM) process. I volunteer mostly on Commons.
Why was I was not notified, nor pinged about the new RM by the original proposer? Apparently, neither was Myasuda. Also, my discussion located immediately above this RM was not linked into this requested move, nor my point of view even mentioned.
I was notified and invited to comment by the proposer for the earlier discussion on my talk page, here: Talk:Hiroshi H. Miyamura#Middle Initial, but not for the subsequent WP:RM discussion here: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Hiroshi_Miyamura&action=edit§ion=3
The outcome may not have changed, however, since I had participated in Good Faith in the previous discussion by bringing research facts forward as requested by the OP. Myasuda and I should have been extended the courtesy as well as due process to have been invited to participate in the Requested Move discussion. Thank you, --Ooligan (talk) 01:56, 5 November 2023 (UTC)

Hi,
I'm not very experienced in these matters, but wouldn't it make more sense to leave "Boulevard de Strasbourg, Paris" at "Boulevard de Strasbourg" as the primary topic, and have the disambiguation page at "Boulevard de Strasbourg (disambiguation)"? Compare "Place de la République", for example.

Firstly, thank you for moving Jackfish Lake, Saskatchewan. You had said, "I concur with Amakuru. Maybe the disambiguation practice of such Canadian articles should be looked into. At the first glance, both title variations are not distinguishable of each other." To help out, here's a link to the Canadian MoS: WP:CANPLACE. But, I think you'll find Canada isn't the only place that uses the Anytown, Region format—it's wikipedia-wide. As for lake and river naming conventions, Anylake (Region) is a wiki-wide naming format.

Hello, I want to create a page about my career. How do I go about that? --Chris France Musuc (talk) 14:52, 7 December 2023 (UTC)
Hi, First of all, I did previously mention that the Siege of Gaza City article should be moved to be called a battle on its talk page. Secondly, is it not self-evident that the page should be titled "battle", rather than a siege, as there is significant and widespread fighting within the city? As I mentioned previously in the talk page, I don't think it makes sense to list the battle as a "siege" when the fighting is so extremely widespread within the city, and Israeli forces have already captured a large amount of the city.

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Many thanks for returning those Years & Years articles whence they came - even if Isanari was to attempt to revert all those page moves, I would not think that would be possible as only a handful of users (including you) have the page mover rights applied to their accounts.

Just a note that I've redirected the article you approved today: Scream: Resurrection.
Per MOS:TVSPLIT, this does not warrant its own article and there is no consensus to split... series was short and has concluded, so is handled sufficiently by List of Scream episodes and Scream (TV series). There's an overeager editor or two who seem to feel they can just keep resubmitting to AfC to skirt the need for consensus (see Draft:Scream (season 1) for an example). —Joeyconnick (talk) 02:30, 20 December 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Majulah Singapura Phoon Yew Tien December 2019.ogg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 18:39, 30 December 2023 (UTC)

Hi Robertsky! I'm a frequent user of Wiki, but a newcomer for editing. The system has offered for me some learning activities – that is great! I’ve started to review and improve some pages, but most of the offered pages seems to me quite fine. The suggestions are usually like these: This article relies excessively on references to primary sources. (July 2017) This article needs additional citations for verification. (July 2017) This article contains content that is written like an advertisement. (July 2017)
Please help me, how to improve such pages (like : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markkula_Center_for_Applied_Ethics ) For me no need for improvement … To honest I started to learn editing to create quite a similar page of a small society, and I do not plan to create a more sophisticated page.

Dear Robertsky, can you review please my created article Hemant Meena?. 😊~~ αvírαm|(tαlk) 14:45, 7 January 2024 (UTC)
Regarding your close of this, I was wondering if you were able to identify a consensus for any of the sub-options, in order to avoid wasting that extensive discussion and simplify subsequent discussions?
In particular, I'm seeing a consensus to continue using "Israel-Hamas war" (although no consensus on whether or how to disambiguate it) given the level of support and that the argument’s for that title are at least as strong as the argument’s against it,
35 editors only supported options of that form, and four supported it alongside other forms. In comparison, just 16 supported a form that didn’t include "Israel-Hamas war" and that included editors voting for titles that are impossible to find support in policy for, such as "Gaza genocide".
That gives us a support level of somewhere between 64% and 71% support; more than sufficient to establish a consensus, in my view, absent sufficiently strong arguments that I don’t think exist here. BilledMammal (talk) 14:04, 6 January 2024 (UTC)

CheckUser confirmed they were not socks. Checkuers never confirmed anything. Ivanvector wrote
No comment on the IP address(see [40]). That is the only thing Ivanvector could say because Checkuser is not allowed to reveal IP socking due to privacy. IP sockpuppetry can only be dealt with by examining behavior, Checkuser tool is not allowed to be used. After examining the behavior of IP user, I concluded that it is probably the same person that operates Arfaz Hossain account, and I blocked then for block evasion/sockpuppetry.

Hi Robertsky, congratulations on your courage in closing the discussion on Talk:2023 Israel–Hamas war. I admit I find your change of mind surprising. As I see it, there was an evident lack of editors' consensus – no name variant has secured the support of even a simple majority of participating editors, not even mentioning consensus. That's why a new discussion was started below where options were revisited and are being further worked on. There was no need to formally close the preceding section – its lack of consensus necessitated the creation of new discussion.
So, you got it right at start IMO! I don't know why you then got swayed by an editor who, on top of everything, has been actively pushing the Israeli narrative in that discussion (i.e., one that Israel only attacks militant groups in Gaza) – a narrative not supported by the majority of participating editors (as I counted, option B received only around 35% of !votes).
I wonder whether you'd be willing to reconsider and either reopen the section or leave as you saw it originally, as no consensus which then required further discussion. Cheers, — kashmīrī TALK 05:57, 10 January 2024 (UTC)
Can you extended protection for TV9 (Malaysian TV network) as it is still vandalized by anonymous IP user who keeps making unsconstructive and disruptive edits, especially changing year of establishment.

I've asked the editor to stop, but no response. Not sure really what do about this anymore other than give up and leave the articles in a mess? Cheers, Number 57 19:35, 19 January 2024 (UTC)
Hey, I just want to create an article about our national squash player --SquashDope (talk) 15:57, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
The link provided -> https://archive.is/WKioM states only Josh Cahill. Can you explain your edit? 2402:D000:8100:A97A:FD03:A31D:4128:1CC8 (talk) 03:37, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
You stated at Talk:2024 Kerman bombings, The argument for over precision is also countered by the point on if the event's notoriety is sufficient enough for it to be recognisable to the readers who are not familiar with the subject area.
But the recognizability policy at WP:CRITERIA, with emphasis added, is The title is a name or description of the subject that someone familiar with, although not necessarily an expert in, the subject area will recognize.
You also cited WP:TOOSOON in your close, which is an essay on notability that does not discuss article titles. Can you please have another look? VQuakr (talk) 05:00, 22 January 2024 (UTC)
ahistorical perceptive. Circling back to WP:NOYEAR, from again, a historical perspective, will this bombing be an easily recognisable topic that can stand on its own without referencing to the year? This is one point which cannot be answered now. – robertsky (talk) 06:01, 22 January 2024 (UTC)

Hi! My name is Thomas LeBlanc. I created an account today because I believe Wiki is soon to be the last vestige for truth in the new AI world. I have sent money a couple of times when asked. I love Wiki! My question relates to editing my Father's page (Leo LeBlanc) and adding his son's to have their own page. Can I? --Truth4Future (talk) 06:43, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
I believe the film is the primary topic due to its longstanding cultural significance, and a dab page isn't needed per WP:TWODABS. You should've contested this like you did for Anbe Sivam and Endrendrum Punnagai. The TV series isn't particularly notable or well sourced. Kailash29792 (talk) 07:08, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
Just saw that you processed my request for reverts of those undiscussed moves which were contrary to WP:COMMONNAME. It is moments like these (when the system actually works) which restore my faith in Wikipedia. Thank you! Coolcaesar (talk) 06:52, 27 January 2024 (UTC)
