The logo of the Mediation Committee while it was active

The Mediation Committee was a panel of editors who resolved content disputes on Wikipedia articles by providing formal mediation. The Mediation Committee was established with the Arbitration Committee in 2003 by Jimmy Wales and was the last stage of content dispute resolution on the English Wikipedia. Mediation was entered into voluntarily by the parties to the dispute and did not result in binding resolutions. The Mediation Committee policy documented how the Mediation Committee, its mediators, and the formal mediation process operated. This policy was maintained by the Committee and was considered an authoritative codification of how Committee matters should be conducted.

After a substantial period of inactivity, the Mediation Committee was shut down by community consensus on 12 November 2018.

Speedy deletion nomination of Government of France (disambiguation)

A tag has been placed on Government of France (disambiguation) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G6 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an orphaned disambiguation page which either

  • disambiguates two or fewer extant Wikipedia pages and whose title ends in "(disambiguation)" (i.e., there is a primary topic); or
  • disambiguates no (zero) extant Wikipedia pages, regardless of its title.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time. Please see the disambiguation page guidelines for more information.

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. RGloucester — ☎ 17:36, 5 January 2015 (UTC)

Blackout Rugby

  • Hi I am one of the users for the Blackout Rugby game. Would it be possible to put the Blackout Rugby page back onto the wikipedia page? There's a fair bit of useful information on it (such as when the world cups for the game etc) that users use on the page. We're a community of 5000 so we'd much appreciate if the page was added back in. From when I've read it before I didn't really see it unambiguous advertising but rather just a description of what the game is about.

Move of GoodSearch to Goodsearch

  • Please note that this move was done against MOS:TM. Typically, CamelCase is permissible on Wikipedia where a company name is always typed as a compound word. In fact, CamelCase can assist our readers by making the individual words more readily apparent.
    Lowercase made-up words are normally avoided on Wikipedia, by contrast, even if the company prefers to stylize their name that way. See Talk:FilmAffinity#Requested move for a similar discussion and resulting consensus. Would you mind reverting your page move, please? – voidxor (talk | contrib) 06:58, 11 January 2015 (UTC)
  •  Done Anthony Appleyard (talk) 07:03, 11 January 2015 (UTC)
  • Flip-flopped on posting this (I requested the first move), but I'm not entirely sure I agree completely with the above interpretation of the policy (especially as it's not a stylization or a total lowercase... ness? They capitalize the first letter in their company text materials; the logo is the only fully lowercase incarnation), but after a cursory search, it appears the jury is out on common capitalization even in recent sources, with a slight preference to where it's at now. I... don't really know what the point of posting this was, as I'm not contesting the reversion of the move (especially with the search showing that it reflects general usage XP), so I guess the only thing I can add now is that I'm glad I'm aware of that piece of the MOS now that I saw this? - Purplewowies (talk) 02:08, 16 January 2015 (UTC)
  • @User:Purplewowies: A Google search a minute ago for goodsearch OR goodshop showed majority CamelCase, a fairsized minority of uppercasing the G only, and some with all lowercase including the company's logos. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 06:08, 16 January 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for moving Straightener (disambiguation)

I almost had to start a new discussion on Straightener (disambiguation) to get it moved, but I am in no way opposed to the fact that you went ahead and moved it. Seeing the edit conflict caused by your page move was one of the most accepting edit conflicts I have ever run across! Steel1943 (talk) 07:22, 11 January 2015 (UTC)

Deletion of Andy Hill (Film Music Supervisor)

While I would never propose LinkedIn as a reliable source, I found this which mentions both his Elmo in Grouchland work, as well as his novel writing. Also, the photos in each article were obviously of the same guy. This might just be mirroring Wikipedia content without attribution, so I wouldn't use it as a source, but it seems to reflect that the guy wears mutiple hats. The AW Hill article and at least one of the duplicate articles contained external links to the same official website, which mentions Belgium (Brussels). His Twitter account says that he's a composer and author. Pretty sure it's the same dude. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 00:02, 12 January 2015 (UTC)

Please restore Template:Article section

You may have deleted this template by mistake. Pigsonthewing has tagged it CSD-G4, but he created the page as a redirect. I repurposed it into a working template, in accordance with Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2015 January 10#Template:Sectionlink, because it adds functionality was overlooked in its deletion debate (Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2014 November 27#Template:Sectionlink). Pigsonthewing has readded the CSD template twice after I declined it on those grounds, and minutes after his last revert, you deleted it. If you checked the history, I'm sure you would have declined as well. Can you please restore the template? It has already been used, and those transclusions are now broken. I could do it myself, but I want to avoid the appearance of a wheelwar. Thank you. -- [[User:Edokter]] {{talk}} 10:07, 14 January 2015 (UTC)

Undelete Request - Real Time Action Technology

Pattern of mistakes

  • Your restoration of Real Time Action Technology was completely inappropriate. I honestly don't know what to do about you – nearly every time I've encountered you over the years, you've been screwing something up. I've seriously considered nominating you for de-adminship, because I honestly believe your pattern of mistakes is serious enough that your presence is more of a detriment than a benefit to the wiki. I don't believe you qualify for de-adminship, since your pattern is one of apparently honest mistakes rather than abuse, so I can only encourage you, as I've done before, to re-read and absorb every policy relating to the areas where you choose to edit, and to edit with a little more common sense, for all our sakes. —Swpbtalk 14:13, 15 January 2015 (UTC)
  • @User:swpb: "(without even notifying the creator)" :: Reading User talk:Anthony Appleyard#Undelete Request - Real Time Action Technology will show that I did include his username in a way that would cause the system to tell him that I had mentioned him, and where. User:B2Btechguy wrote that this was his first go at writing an article, and "Do not bite the newbies" persuaded me to be sympathetic towards him. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 14:36, 15 January 2015 (UTC)
  • Don't try to justify your error with BITE; what nonsense. And as User:FreeRangeFrog pointed out on WP:UND, that's not the appropriate course of action either. Maybe you should step away from this case entirely, since all you seem to be doing is repeatedly screwing up. —Swpbtalk 21:04, 16 January 2015 (UTC)

deletion of new material without proper justification or attempts at editing it for suitability

  • Anthony Appleyard why did you delete the Mountain Gate, Arizona page? I did not get a chance copy the material down that I had wrote to improve the article further. Instead all the content is gone. Please send the content back to me as I spent a some time on it. Also, explaining a neighborhood within a community is not new to wikipedia and is done in city articles all the time. If you think it sounds like an add or promotion then you should help me improve it so it only gives factual data instead of just deleting it within hours of me posting it. Please send me back the content of the article if you wish not to help me improve it. Thank you — Preceding unsigned comment added by Reb enfilade (talk • contribs) 16:19, 15 January 2015 (UTC)

Naturalopy

Hello,

You deleted the "Naturalopy" article 20 minutes into its first draft. I have no qualms about your editorial decision. However, since you have removed the article, please remove all references to "Naturalopy" from Wikipedia. I have 21 books on iTunes and Google Play (google: naturalopy) on the subject. I also own the trademark.

Thank-you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Trungedm (talk • contribs) 20:14, 20 January 2015 (UTC)

I’ve consulted with an attorney and here is the gist of what she said:

1. This is a clear case of cybersquatting or misuse of a trademark.

Using a domain name or trademark with bad faith intent to profit from the goodwill of a trademark belonging to someone else. There is nothing on the page that assists users about the subject, good or bad.

Any future economic loss or loss of goodwill can be attributed to the Anthony Appleyard and Deunanknute and the Wikipedia Foundation. This could be significant since the link is #1 on Bing and #3 on Google.

2. Clear failure of editorial duty by Anthony Appleyard and Deunanknute to review the work in question. It took them 20 minutes to mark the file for deletion. Moreover, no citation, references, or links to support their G3 reason. Just repetitively quoting the G3 criteria.

3. Baiting. Luring users into a page without information about the subject, causing loss of goodwill, time, and confusion to the user.

These are two viable options:

1. Remove all references of “Naturalopy” from Wikipedia so search engines can no longer link to it.

2. Leave the page up, but provide proper critique of the work citing sources, references, and other material, per Wikipedia’s editorial guidelines. If you think the work is garbage, that is perfectly fine. Provide reasons as to why you think so, per Wikipedia’s guidelines.

3. Do nothing. I have always donated to wikipedia in the past when asked, but no more. Furthermore, I will encourage everyone I know through social media and website to never donate to Wikipedia again. When this influence reaches 10,000 or more, I will let your superiors know about it.

Best regards.

Universal Congress of Esperanto

Hi Anthony Appleyard,

Could you move World Congress of Esperanto to Universal Congress of Esperanto? This is the literal translation, as well as the more common term in English (Google Books search results: 1460 for "Universal" title and 869 for "World" title). There is also an unaddressed request on the talk page for the same move. Thanks!

Sonĝanto (talk) 18:48, 22 January 2015 (UTC)

Rv'd this and another move. Normal translation of universala is "world", and that's used by the orgs themselves. Yes, lots of people are mislead by 'false friends', but that's not encyclopedic. — kwami (talk) 23:49, 26 January 2015 (UTC)

Hi, Anthony Appleyard. Thanks for your work on the page history merge. But when you temporarily delete a page during the history merge, its link in Wikidata will be also automatically deleted (see, e.g., this edit). Would you please re-add the link to Wikidata item after the history merge is completed? You may check your contributions in Wikidata to see how many links have been deleted.

I would ask at WP:RM/TR (Away team redirects to Away team (disambiguation), per WP:MALPLACED this should be reversed), but there is a move discussion at Talk:Away team (disambiguation), along with some slow edit warring at the Away team redirect. Since you're uninvolved in that discussion, I think that you could close it (it's been open 9 days) and if any edit warring continued, it could be dealt with swiftly. -Niceguyedc Go Huskies! 09:28, 2 February 2015 (UTC)

By the Throat

Anthony, I've got another fun one for you. By the Throat (Eyedea & Abilities album) was an article about an album by Eyedea & Abilities from 2009 until December 2013. It was then copy/paste moved to By the Throat, which was a disambiguation page (there's also an album of the same name by Ben Frost, along with a few songs of the same name (no links)). A month later, the (disambiguation) redirect was turned into a disambiguation page, since the base title had the E&A album at it.

Yesterday, the Eyedea & Abilities album at By the Throat was moved to By the Throat (Eyedea and Abilities album), and the base title By the Throat was turned into a second disambiguation page (By the Throat (disambiguation) was still a disambiguation page). Today I redirected the (disambiguation) title to the base title before I researched this.

My reason for bringing this to you is that there probably should be a history merge of some type (I'm not sure exactly how it would go). My take is that the end result should have the Eyedea & Abilities album at By the Throat (Eyedea & Abilities album) (since that matches the actual name of the band), have By the Throat (Eyedea and Abilities album) redirect to By the Throat (Eyedea & Abilities album) (or delete it) and leave the disambiguation page at By the Throat, with a redirect to it at By the Throat (disambiguation). -Niceguyedc Go Huskies! 09:00, 5 February 2015 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Monochromacy, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Fovea (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

By the way, would you consider fixing the talk page archives? They are now attached to the new article, rather than the old article. RGloucester — ☎ 17:07, 7 February 2015 (UTC)
See Talk:2014 Odessa clashes/Archive 1 (there are more). These should be attached to the 2 May article, not the 2014 article. RGloucester — ☎ 17:18, 7 February 2015 (UTC)
Excellent. What about the Talk:2014 Odessa clashes edit history? It seems that that should be attached to the old article, 2 May 2014 Odessa clashes, as well. That stuff isn't about the new article, but about the old article. RGloucester — ☎ 18:33, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

Actually, I did request the logs to be moved to "May 2014 Odessa clashes" because extra precision is discouraged. Sole oppose wanted "2" to stay; many at RM wanted removal of "2". --George Ho (talk) 23:14, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

That's for a different article. The precision is not "extra". It is the long-standing title, and it is only about clashes on 2 May. ~ RGloucester — ☎
Could you at least revamp the article then to be about the month's clashes? Also, you can propose renaming 2014 NYPD officer killings if you wish, but that would lead to nowhere. George Ho (talk) 23:37, 7 February 2015 (UTC)
I don't deal with American articles. They are distasteful. I'd delete that article on the spot. A summary execution. I shan't expand the article. It must retain the present title, as it has done, and always will do. For eternity, it is the article about the 2 May clashes, not about the non-existent "May clashes". RGloucester — ☎ 23:49, 7 February 2015 (UTC)
Existent or not, the accurate title should not be too precise. Voters said so in RM, even when they weren't aware of December bombings. --George Ho (talk) 23:55, 7 February 2015 (UTC)
What is "too precise"? I'm sorry, but in normal English speech, when an event is limited to one day, we refer to it by that day. When we write letters, we write the date at the top, including the day. We do not write "May 2014" at the top of letter sent on "2nd of May 2014". It just doesn't make sense. It is non-standard, imprecise, and often wrong. It does not define the scope of the article. RGloucester — ☎ 00:04, 8 February 2015 (UTC)

Deleted page: Sphere 3D

Hello Anthony Appleyard. I'm curious as to why you deleted the page Sphere 3D [3] and marked it as "does not credibly indicate the importance or significance of the subject." I have no dog in this fight, but I think this is a huge mistake.

Sphere 3D competes with Citrix, EMC, VMware and several others in the Information Storage and Virtualization sectors - all of which have Wikipedia pages.

Sphere 3D recently purchased Overland Storage (this page even has a link to the deleted Sphere 3D page) and Tandberg Data.

Per Wiki guidelines, there are plenty of credible third-party sources with information about Sphere 3D: https://www.google.com/search?tbm=nws&q="sphere+3d"

I think the page should be restored.

Talk page disappearance

  • Hi, somehow the talk page of Nike, Inc. disappeared when it got moved and then moved back. Can you figure this out and fix it? Here's the complete talk page as it should be, with its lengthy edit history: [4]. Here is its last iteration before any moves [5]. I'm not even seeing a difference in URLs, so I can't figure out what happened. Anyway, can you restore the complete Talk page? Thanks. Softlavender (talk) 00:56, 13 February 2015 (UTC) EDIT: The issue seems to be that the period after the "Inc" fell off the Talk page title (but not the article title) during or after one of the moves. The period needs to be replaced on the title of the correct Talk page. Softlavender (talk) 01:03, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
  • @User:Softlavender:  Done: It was at Talk:Nike, Inc without the fullstop. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 06:25, 13 February 2015 (UTC)

Tincture of Cannabis

Hello Anthony Appleyard,

Could you possibly make the "c" lower-case in the title of Tincture of Cannabis? The most common way on Wikipedia to refer to the drug is "cannabis", and the title should reflect that.

Thanks,

Persistent vandalism

Thanks

I did not catch that it was spelled incorrectly in the genus article. Usually I just paste for my reference searches, but, since it was such an easy specific epithet, I did not, and it did not occur to me to check where I got the red link. Good job for doing the extra checking and correcting. MicroPaLeo (talk) 09:07, 20 February 2015 (UTC)

Posttraumatic stress disorder

Hi Anthony. You recently carried out a request to move Posttraumatic stress disorder to Post-traumatic stress disorder. That is a controversial move as it moves the article away from the name used in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, which pretty much defines the name used for all mental disorder articles on Wikipedia. Would you please move it back to Posttraumatic stress disorder as we really need substantial discussion to use other than the DSM title. I'd be happy to have the discussion on the PTSD talk page. Thanks --RexxS (talk) 00:46, 22 February 2015 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Troy, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Ilion (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

  • It wasn't necessary to take it to AfD unless you thought it did not qualify per A7. Just so you know, I generally stay away from deleting sports articles tagged with A7 because it's one of those niches where it pays to know and understand the notability guidelines, and I always have trouble with sports guidelines. Anyway, you'll get people who are knowledgeable about such guidelines at the AfD, and I'll follow along. Who knows - I may even learn something, although I doubt it'll stick. I think it comes from being an old-fashioned geek. Take care.--Bbb23 (talk) 06:33, 24 February 2015 (UTC)

Another history merge

Abbey Brewing Company

  • Hello Anthony Appleyard, I want to draw your attention towards article Abbey Brewing Company. I am not sure why is this notable expect for one claim that "it is the first American monastery brewery founded since before the Prohibition Era". I had nominated the article for CSD but was declined citing "add ref for first in US". The company was founded in 2005, 70 years after the Prohibition Era and am still not sure why should this have an article on Wikipedia. Once bitten, I am not putting this for AfD. May I request your inputs please. Thanks Arun Kumar SINGH (Talk) 18:20, 23 February 2015 (UTC)
  • @User:AKS.9955: Unfortunately, I live in England and I am teetotal, and I know little about American breweries. Some people may consider this brewery to be notable. If you think that this article's notability is queryable, then AfD it. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 23:14, 23 February 2015 (UTC)

RM closure

Thanks. RGloucester — ☎ 05:54, 24 February 2015 (UTC)
While I understand why you did the move to the "old version" title, Is there any reason why these redirects were moved? Shouldn't they be deleted? They don't even have an edit history. In addition, it appears as if Talk:Gravity (old version)/Archive 1 should be history merged with Talk:Gravity/Archive 1. Unlike the other two, this was a cut-and-paste merge to that archive. I also wonder if a history merge between the old version gravity page and the gravitation page is possible. It seems that the gravity page was previously text merged into the gravitation page. Either way, I feel like this mess should be tided somewhat, as much as is possible. RGloucester — ☎ 06:13, 24 February 2015 (UTC)

Actually, Mr Appleyard, I think there is a history merge that is possible and should be done. I've figured out that Talk:Gravity/Old is actually the talk page of the original article Gravity (old version). The edit history of Talk:Gravity/Old is from 2004, before Talk:Gravitation (now Talk:Gravity, created with this 2005 edit) existed. I'm certain that Talk:Gravity/Old's history should be merged into Talk:Gravity, as Talk:Gravity/Archive 1 is an archive of Talk:Gravity/Old. RGloucester — ☎ 19:31, 24 February 2015 (UTC)

Thanks. That's much cleaner. RGloucester — ☎ 22:35, 24 February 2015 (UTC)

Pinging

Hallo Anthony, the @[[User:PamD]] in your edit to Talk:Passed (band) did not create a notification for me. I think if you had used @{{User|PamD}} it would have done so, or {{ping|PamD}}. There are a confusing number of subtly different templates for identifying users, and I don't know whether there's a helpful list anywhere to show their comparative effects and which ones generate a notification.

I only spotted that talk page discussion because I (a) had the RM page watchlisted, (b) saw that you'd removed the proposal and another with a note "discuss 1, done 1", (c) found that N-rule had been moved so concluded that Passed (band) hadn't been moved and wasn't going to be, (d) looked at your contributions list to find that talk page.
