Welcome to my talk page! Here's a few notes that may be helpful to read before posting: I will reply here and I probably won't ping you—unless you specifically request otherwise—so you may wish to watchlist this page. If I've left you a message I will have watchlisted your page, so there's no need to leave me a {{talkback}} or ping me (but you can if you want). I prefer to keep conversations on Wikipedia, but you can email me. If you do, you should definitely leave me a note about it; I rarely check my Wikipedia email account without first being prompted here.

Just a questions

It's subjective, really. There are people (most of them) who do use a dash of some kind or the MW default -- before their signatures. There are also others who add a space and there's no rule preventing them from doing so (which makes your edit summary quite wrong). Is there any reason RM top automatically signed unlike AfD top because it should be consistent - because people like me are used to signing everything manually. --QEDK (T ☕ C) 15:33, 2 May 2016 (UTC)

I know there are plenty of people who do use a dash of some kind, but adding it as a default doesn't make a lot of sense because they will then end up with two dashes. I sort of agree that it should be consistent about auto/non-auto signing (I know when I started using it it caught me out once or twice), but having done thousands(?) of RM closes since then I'm rather set in my ways and would prefer no change if only because I'm sure I'd forget it half the time.

Talk:Brunswick_metropolitan_area,_Georgia#Requested_move_29_March_2016

Hi there - thanks for the close here. I was wondering, though, why you went to the ", Georgia" version as opposed to the primarytopic version. It seemed to me that more participants were okay with the basename than the ", Georgia" version:

• Dicklyon, myself, Cuchullain, Amakuru, Kennethaw88, and SmokeyJoe all expressed either a preference for the basename or expressly found it acceptable. Bubba73 preferred it at first, although it seems unclear what their final position was.
• RGloucester and Zarcadia preferred the double comma version, and did not comment on the other alternatives.
• Only SmokeyJoe, as far as I can tell, was asking for the ", Georgia" version - and even they found the basename acceptable as a second option.

That seems a fair consensus for a move to the basename. I'd appreciate a second look - thanks. Dohn joe (talk) 16:44, 2 May 2016 (UTC)

You're right. In my mind, I think I was initially counting supports that made no indication about whether the state was necessary as votes in favour of keeping the disambiguation. In hindsight, that doesn't seem particularly fair because even if we accept that as true (and that's a stretch) they don't have arguments to back it up (so to speak), and clearly the majority of people who did actually comment on the issue were in favour of not including "Georgia" and made a good case for it. I will alter my close. Jenks24 (talk) 16:55, 2 May 2016 (UTC)

User:Valoem/KOI

Can you check up on User:Valoem/KOI? It appears to be an unattributed copy of KOI-433.02 m that was deleted at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/KOI-433.02 m. 103.6.159.92 (talk) 01:16, 4 May 2016 (UTC)

Please could you also check User:Richard Arthur Norton (1958- )/List of billionaire divorces, which soars to be an unattributed copy of List of billionaire divorces, which was deleted at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of billionaire divorces. 103.6.159.72 (talk) 04:34, 4 May 2016 (UTC)

Done histmerges for both. Thanks for catching these, especially the one from 2006! Jenks24 (talk) 13:53, 4 May 2016 (UTC)

What do you think about the attribution problem involving User:TheShadowCrow/sandbox? A number of articles such as Arusiak Grigorian, Anna Hairapetian, Aram Avagyan and others use it for attribution. Actually, those articles were created by me by copying content from these userspace drafts that were in turn created by User:Technical 13 as unattributed copy-pastes from the original sandbox. But I used the original sandbox for citing attribution. Whether or not a consensus existed for deletion at Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:TheShadowCrow/sandbox (3rd nomination), the page's history should be undeleted. Can you do it yourself or should this go to DRV? Unfortunately, CambridgeBayWeather turned out to be a trigger-happy admin who did not bother to offer any explanation regarding the attribution problems. 103.6.159.91 (talk) 03:57, 6 May 2016 (UTC)

I've semi-protected the page, hopefully that will stop the vandalism. Jenks24 (talk) 13:56, 4 May 2016 (UTC)
