Rename to all

Hi! Recently, a number of article about dynasties had been renamed by un-capitalizing the word "dynasty", such as Ottoman Dynasty, Tay Son Dynasty. Yet, there are still other articles with capitalized "dynasty", such as Chakri Dynasty and those in Template:History of Burma and Template:History of China. It's time we rename them all. ༆ (talk) 21:52, 3 June 2012 (UTC)

Hi! Feel free to propose a move at WP:RM, but keep in mind that it'll probably have to be decided on a case-by-case basis. For example, the dynasties of Egypt were recently moved in the other direction. Jafeluv (talk) 21:56, 3 June 2012 (UTC)

You're right! I noticed that too. Too complex if we have follow 2 different cases. ༆ (talk) 22:43, 3 June 2012 (UTC)

Early Dynastic Period of Egypt, lower case "Period" too? Yet most the links when I google it put "Period" in the upper case. ༆ (talk) 20:14, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

That page doesn't seem to have been part of the earlier discussion. Feel free to propose a rename on the article's talk page if you want. (The procedure is explained here.) Jafeluv (talk) 16:59, 22 July 2012 (UTC)

Vandalism of Negril page

Hello, I noticed that you have done some edits in the past of the article on Negril. Recently this page has been under attack by sock puppets who seem intent on adding racist comments and have referenced a bogus internet article to justify their means. Any help you could provide in preventing this would be most sincerely appreciated. Banton99 (talk) 00:55, 20 June 2012 (UTC)

Hi! Sure, I'll add the article to my watchlist and will try keep an eye on it. Jafeluv (talk) 06:16, 20 June 2012 (UTC)

CfD: No concensus

See Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2012 May 22#Category:Open methodologies.

Hi, thanks for closing the CfD. Now since the CfD was closed as no concensus, what alternatives are there to go forward? Should I wait a bit and then reopen the same discussion? Open an RD/RfC? Renominate as delete/a other name? Primary I am thinking of giving it a bit of time (a week or so) so to not hound the issue, but I am not sure what is best. Thanks in advance for any advice. *update*, noticed that the talk page of the category it says the result of the CfD was keep. Shouldnt it be "No consensus"? Belorn (talk) 13:42, 20 June 2012 (UTC)

Hi Belorn. I think the best way forward would be to come up with one concrete proposal and see whether it gathers enough support to go through. The problem with open-ended discussions, particularly at CFD, is that there is often no clear consensus for any of the proposed alternatives, even if almost everyone agrees that the current name is not optimal. The CFD format is simply not well suited for open-ended discussions, especially since anything older than a week goes into the this-should-already-be-closed backlog. (I closed the CFD after someone requested it on the admin noticeboard.) In general if you feel that an issue would benefit from a discussion with wider participation, WP:RFC is one way to get more opinions.

You're right about the talk page note, that should have been "no consensus" instead of "keep". I've fixed it now. Jafeluv (talk) 17:38, 20 June 2012 (UTC)

Moving the page Bacoor, Cavite to page Bacoor.

Hi! I'm Jimboy from Cavite, Philippines, I need an administrator help for moving the page Bacoor, Cavite to Bacoor, because recently the Republic Act 10160 or the law that converts the municipality of Bacoor in the province of Cavite into a component city to be known as the City of Bacoor, was ratified when 40000+ voters favored the conversion through the plebiscite that was held last June 23, 2012. I seek a help from you because I saw that you're the also one who moved the page Dasmariñas City to Dasmariñas last October 31, 2010. Because as a pattern, the pages of the cities of Cavite was renamed by removing ", Cavite" in the last name of their respective pages. Thank you very much! Jimboy (talk) 08:31, 25 June 2012 (UTC)

Hi Jimboy. Looks consistent with the relevant naming guideline, so I've gone ahead and moved the page. Thanks for pointing that out. Jafeluv (talk) 09:11, 25 June 2012 (UTC)

Moving the page Imus, Cavite to page Imus.

Hi! I'm Jimboy again from Cavite, Philippines. I seek help again from you, can you move the page Imus, Cavite to page Imus, with the same reason like what you did with the page Bacoor? Thank you very much. 13:36, 01 July 2012 (UTC)

Hi again! That move looks potentially controversial, because there are other things called Imus. (Note also this.) I suggest opening a discussion on the talk page as described here. Jafeluv (talk) 17:00, 1 July 2012 (UTC)

Okay, but can't it be like Dasmariñas, when you open this page you'll see a note "For other uses, see Dasmariñas (disambiguation)."? In case of Imus can't it be like this, I'll put the note "For other users, see Imus (disambiguation)" also? Because for the case of people, based on my experience of using Wikipedia, there is no such article that has a title which is only a single word that refers to a person; for the case of place, Imus ranch is just like a ranch/forest which shouldn't be called by its name without the word ranch, I guess; for the case of Media, the American radio show Imus in the Morning should not be called using the word Imus only also. Because I feel an uneasy feeling if I think about this, that the cities of Cavite didn't followed the pattern of removing the ", Cavite" after the city name (sorry about this).
By the way, about this, sorry I don't know what did come to my mind at that time, a childish action huh? I'll never do that again. Sorry for disturbing and thanks for replying & everything! God Bless! Jimboy (talk) 18:32, 01 July 2012 (UTC)

There may well be consensus for a solution like Dasmariñas (ie. moving the city article to Imus and adding a hatnote to the disambiguation page at the top), but to find that out you have to propose the move on the article's talk page. Just follow the instructions on the page I linked above and present your arguments why you think the page should be moved, and if there's consensus after about a week, an uninvolved user will come along and make the decision. Jafeluv (talk) 21:11, 1 July 2012 (UTC)

Good Day and hello Jafeluv! I did what you have suggested to me last time. I just want to ask what will happen if there's no opposers nor supporters with my move request within a week? Will it be automatically moved or rejected? Thank you very much! Jimboy (talk) 12:00, 03 July 2012 (UTC)

Usually if there's no opposition the move can be considered uncontroversial and it's performed after a week (or more, depending on how much backlog there is at WP:RM). That's a relatively rare case, though, and usually there are at least one or two commenters after the first week. Jafeluv (talk) 12:40, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

Credo Reference Update & Survey (your opinion requested)

Credo Reference, who generously donated 400 free Credo 250 research accounts to Wikipedia editors over the past two years, has offered to expand the program to include 100 additional reference resources. Credo wants Wikipedia editors to select which resources they want most. So, we put together a quick survey to do that:

• Link to Survey (should take between 5-10 minutes): http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/N8FQ6MM

It also asks some basic questions about what you like about the Credo program and what you might want to improve.

At this time only the initial 400 editors have accounts, but even if you do not have an account, you still might want to weigh in on which resources would be most valuable for the community (for example, through WikiProject Resource Exchange).

Also, if you have an account but no longer want to use it, please leave me a note so another editor can take your spot.

If you have any other questions or comments, drop by my talk page or email me at wikiocaasi@yahoo.com. Cheers! Ocaasi ^{t | c} 17:20, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

Answered. Thanks for the notification. Jafeluv (talk) 17:34, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
