:Are you aware of [[Wikipedia:Requested moves/Closing instructions]].

Articles recreated as redirects

You recreated stuff like Heatwave (Transformers) as redirects. Please make sure that the rediects go to the appropriate section. It's not helpful if they don't. Especially regarding big lists like List of Decepticons. NotARealWord (talk) 08:59, 18 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Those redirects are now up for discussion. See Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2010 December 18, specifically the sections on Landshark (Transformers, Heatwave (Transformers) and Transformers: Timelines. NotARealWord (talk) 15:55, 18 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Well, how do you know about that? Macr86 (talk) 19:24, 18 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

AfDs

If you're going to nominate articles for deletion, and copy previous rationales, like the ones listed below of my prior AfDs, please make sure they're at least accurate. In the first pair, there isn't a huge copyright violation, and in the second one you hadn't removed a copyvio.

Thanks, Black Kite (t) (c) 20:46, 21 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

AFD Transformers

If you more editors to participate in Transformers related AFD's I recommend putting them in Wikipedia:WikiProject Transformers/Deletion sorting Dwanyewest (talk) 13:34, 23 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Input strongly requested

You recently moved La Stazione to New Paltz railroad station without any explanation, and without rewriting the article's lead (which, in my opinion, is worse than leaving the article with an incorrect title). I strongly request your input on a second move request I have opened, specifically about the article's name regarding WP:COMMONNAME.

Are you aware of Wikipedia:Requested moves/Closing instructions. I'd strongly suggest that the closure being discussed here was not suitable for a non-admin close in it's current state - especially by someone who has only been active for 3 months and has less than 300 edits. Indeed it's debatable whether you should be closing any requested moves as it states - "Experienced editors in good standing are allowed to close some requested move surveys," and I'm not sure you're suitably experienced. I'd also question this close and this close. In the first two cases with so few !votes and those !votes opposing each other I have no idea how you managed to discern a consensus. The last is particularly worrying as there was a very long discussion, involving some sensitive issues and I certainly don't think it was suitable for closure by someone so inexperienced. I would be interested in hearing your reasoning as at the moment it would appear your a) getting closes wrong and b) closing requested moves you shouldn't be closing.
