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.

SharePointLMS page deletion

I noticed that the page that I edited called SharePointLMS was deleted. Is it possible to bring it back up so that I can edit it? I understood that it was deleted by you because it was too promotional. I can make the changes so that it is not promotional anymore and it would be great if you could tell me which parts were promotional so that I can delete them or edit them. Thank you! Konin1ka (talk) 12:25, 2 May 2016 (UTC)

I am sure it was done in good faith, but please do not undo my history merge request. I copy pasted the lead myself from Lucy Terry, section poetry.

ACS UTA Bătrâna Doamnă Arad

Anthony, I see you have some move history experience with ACS UTA Bătrâna Doamnă Arad there was a request brought up over at requested moves regarding the article naming, however the requested user is now blocked for disruptive editing. Since you have some history with this article, perhaps you can address this request, and identify if it has any merit. Tiggerjay (talk) 17:24, 5 January 2016 (UTC)

Reformation and art

• Undiscussed move from The Reformation and art, which he then launched an RM on, as too vague. This is the same editor who did a load of undiscussed moves messing with "St/Saint Foo" place and church names a while back, if that came your way. Please restore; the RM can run its course, but the existing title should not be hobbled in advance. Thanks! Johnbod (talk) 03:20, 6 January 2016 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Requested moves/Technical requests

(Discuss) – Portobuffolè → Portobuffolé – we're 3 agreeing and 1 opposing after 2 weeks, an admin is needed to move pages entitled "Portobuffolè" to "Portobuffolé" both in English and in all other languages Wikis, please could you do it Anthony Appleyard? 151.20.91.148 (talk) 09:32, 7 January 2016 (UTC)

• @151.20.91.148:  Done, in the English Wikipedia. However, I am an admin in the English Wikipedia only, not in any other wikipedias. Sorry. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 10:06, 7 January 2016 (UTC)
• Thanks for moving the page! Do you know anyone I can ask for the other Wikis? 151.20.91.148 (talk) 17:21, 7 January 2016 (UTC)
• @151.20.91.148: I have looked through these foreign language pages linked to from en:Portobuffolé. In some the name is neither Portobuffolè nor Portobuffolé but a foreign alphabet transcription (e.g. Պորտոբուֆոլե (Armenian), Портобуффоле (Kazakh), 波尔托布福尔埃 (Chinese)). In some the name is Portobuffolé already. In one the page had been recently cut-and-paste moved. In some there are other complications. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 09:41, 9 January 2016 (UTC)
• OK, so the only remaining pages are: nl.wikipedia (the admin who started all this senseless mess was Dutch, better not awaking the sleeping dog or the mess may restart); fr.wikipedia (the page can't be created but by admins); lmo.wikipedia (a Lombard admins was required to move it when he has time); ro.wikipedia (as above, I think); hu.wikipedia & pl.wikipedia (edits must be reviewed, as in German Wiki where you've already moved the page, thanks for that). 151.20.91.148 (talk) 18:36, 10 January 2016 (UTC)
  • The admin who started all this senseless mess is not exactly known for her senselessness but rather for her impressive anti-vandalism record and dealing with POV, especially cross-wiki POV. ErikvanB (talk) 16:17, 21 January 2016 (UTC)
    • So, thank to me, it's been discovered a new, hidden side of him (her?)! 151.20.91.148 (talk) 16:24, 21 January 2016 (UTC)
      • Who knows. ErikvanB (talk) 16:31, 21 January 2016 (UTC)
        • Yeah... 151.20.91.148 (talk) 16:35, 21 January 2016 (UTC)

Hi Anthony, I'm a user from ptwiki. I can't see we had a consensus here to move the page (only two supports and one probably by a sock). There are many evidences that the correct name is Portobuffolè, including their official page on Facebook and the italian article. I think this movement may be reviewed. - Editeur ^? 17:08, 9 January 2016 (UTC)

Yes, I well know you, Editeur.

And your attempt to stultify the agreement obtained here is paltry.

The evidence that the only correct form is "Portobuffolé" with acute accent is proven not only here, here and here (if you had read the talk, you wouldn't have spoken about (your) "evidences"), but also in the state archive, in an official resolution and in the famous Treccani, while in the municipal statute, which you consider the most reliable since it's the official site, you find "Portobuffole'" with apostrophe (!!!) an the beginning, "Portobuffolè" in Article 1 and "Portobuffolé" in Article 2.

You're not Italian, you don't know the confusion about accents we Italians make, the correct pronunce of "Genova" is "Gènova" even if all local inhabitants say "Génova", so the correct spelling of "Portobuffolé" has acute accent even if Venetians say "Portobufołè", again you should have read the whole talk where such problems are explained, for example that in your very Facebook page you can find "perchè", wrong spelling and Northern pronunciation of "perché", and even "Portobuffole'" with apostrophe (and it's not the only word where an apostrophe substitutes an accent, you're free to check); last but not least, it.wikipedia is NOT a source for en.wikipedia, since Wiki encyclopedia is NOT a source for itself, and thanks for pointing out that also the page in it.wikipedia must be moved since it's got the wrong spelling.

All this can be reassumed in 1 single word: sit. 151.20.91.148 (talk) 18:36, 10 January 2016 (UTC)

• Anthony, I won't answer this IP, because it is your talk page, not its. In English and even in Portuguese we have several dialects for which country or region that speak those languages, and it makes lots of discussion for what title is correct or not. I don't know well what politics you have here on enwiki, but on ptwiki all variants are considered correct, and we respect the first entry title. Italian may not be different, and when I say that the italian article is still with Portobuffelè title, that means they didn't make anything to change it, once they are native speakers and they know better then us. This IP is making changes cross wiki and was reverted many times. That's why we have to make a consistent consensus to change the title or not. I really would like you give me an answer, because this subject is very important not only for the english wiki, but for all them. Thanks. - Editeur ^? 17:20, 11 January 2016 (UTC)
• @L'editeur and 151.20.91.148: And for more variety of name in foreign Wikipedias, there are Portus Buvoledi (Latin), Portobufołè (Veneto = Venetian). I suspect that the spelling Portobuffole' with apostrophe is a typist's makeshift used instead of an accent and would not have developed if the document was handwritten. As an admin, I better stay neutral. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 23:07, 11 January 2016 (UTC)

Anthony Appleyard: a Dutch admin (the one I told you about at the beginning), without asking anything to anyone and against the consensus we had in the talk page, has moved back the page to the uncorrect name. I've already reported him in the noticeboard because he's moved a lot of pages all around the Wikis, including the English one. Do you think you can move it back at least this to its correct name (Portobuffolé), since he acted arbitrarily on his own decision, please? 151.20.91.148 (talk) 18:36, 10 January 2016 (UTC)

• @151.20.91.148:  Done. But I don't want to get caught in a Wikipedia:Wheel war (= a dispute between admins). Anthony Appleyard (talk) 23:22, 16 January 2016 (UTC)

Thanks! I think now this will be just about nl.wikipedia (and maybe pt.wikipedia), not English Wiki where there's a consensus, and actually I'm not caring any more about those Dutch hinnies if they want to keep a wrong spelling. 151.20.91.148 (talk) 11:09, 17 January 2016 (UTC)

The issue is solved: also the Portuguese admin has admitted he was wrong and the Dutch won't change the name on the other Wikis! There's only a last page, except the Dutch, witch has to be renamed: the German one. Can you do me a last favour? Rename the German page to "Portobuffolé" as you did some days ago, please, then I won't have to disturb you any more. 151.20.91.148 (talk) 19:36, 17 January 2016 (UTC)

• @151.20.83.155: Already  Done by someone: see https://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Portobuffol%C3%A9&action=history . Anthony Appleyard (talk) 06:24, 20 January 2016 (UTC)

Just for your information: The German WP has de:Portobuffolè. --Tusculum (talk) 16:19, 23 January 2016 (UTC)

We agreed to move also the German article at the end :-) 151.20.10.173 (talk) 17:40, 24 January 2016 (UTC)

Polish constitutional crisis

• Polish Constitutional Court crisis, 2015 Anthony Appleyard (talk) 15:24, 11 January 2016 (UTC)
• High, you just removed the "technical move" request for the article above. Did you understand the problem? Volunteer Marek moved the page without a prior discussion per WP:RM, no adequate discussion, no adequate timeframe, closing the "discussion" on the talk page as an involved editor after 32 hours, though WP:RMCI requires at least 7 days and clearly states that an involved editor is not supposed to close the discussion at all(WP:RMNAC). The result of the current WP:RM is for sure "no consensus" (currently 3:3), thus the "new", un-discussed title, which was just pushed trough in violation of the basic rules of WP:RM will stay. This is a blatant case of WP:GAMING. HerkusMonte (talk) 11:55, 11 January 2016 (UTC)

• PS.: Does WP:TITLECHANGES ("Changing one controversial title to another without a discussion that leads to consensus is strongly discouraged....) actually matter? HerkusMonte (talk) 12:03, 11 January 2016 (UTC)

Will you please stop it with the forum shopping and canvassing? Volunteer Marek (talk) 15:06, 11 January 2016 (UTC)

• Sorry. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 15:44, 11 January 2016 (UTC)

I'm sorry too, but what am I supposed to do about it? Such a clear violation of WP:RM and nobody cares. I already brought the issue to WP:ANI, where I was told that I should take it to WP:DRN, which is absurd, because it's obviously not a content dispute. Is WP:IGNOREALLRULES really what it's all about here? A move is "strongly discouraged", but that's just hot air. HerkusMonte (talk) 17:37, 11 January 2016 (UTC)

• @HerkusMonte and Volunteer Marek: It looks like that this article has been back and forth between names repeatedly like a tennis ball. It is time that this dispute was settled. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 22:54, 11 January 2016 (UTC)

Cloverfield 2

• I request a history merge of Cloverfield (2008 film) and 10 Cloverfield Lane, the former has the edit history of Cloverfield 2. SNS (talk) 23:13, 16 January 2016 (UTC)
• @SNS:  Not done Cloverfield 2's history consists only of 2 redirects. Cloverfield (2008 film)'s history consists largely of redirects and would not fit in with 10 Cloverfield Lane's history. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 22:43, 18 January 2016 (UTC)

Deletions of redirects to Crelan–Euphony

Hi, I think that when the move of Crelan–Euphony to Landbouwkrediet–Colnago happened, becuase no redirect was left, all the original redirects has no target, but it was a move rather than a deletion, so please could you restore:

• Landbouwkrediet-Tönissteiner
• Landbouwkrediet-Colnago
• Crelan-Euphony

It appears we have also lost more redirects courtesy of User:AnomieBOT III, would you be able to help to restore these?

Many thanks, Severo (talk) 13:29, 20 January 2016 (UTC)

• @Severo: The move of Crelan–Euphony to Landbouwkrediet–Colnago was at 21:56, 19 January 2016‎ by User:Liz, not by me.
  •  Done I restored the 3 redirects that you listed here, and cleared up some redirect-to-redirect double links. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 15:09, 20 January 2016 (UTC)

Bacha Khan University attack

• I noticed you recently moved this. While the title you moved it to was fine (for now), you should check the talk page first, because there is a discussion about what title to move it to. Indeed, the person requesting its move at WP:RM suggested the title be "2016 Bacha Khan University attack". Jolly Ω Janner 22:06, 20 January 2016 (UTC)
• @Jolly Janner: For information about who asked for the move, see https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?oldid=700830531 . Anthony Appleyard (talk) 05:47, 21 January 2016 (UTC)

Donald Trump presidential campaign, 2016

Please note that I reverted your move of the page Donald Trump presidential campaign, 2016. It is standard practice to include the election year in a campaign article because it helps to identify which election a particular campaign refers. To leave it blank causes confusion. What election is this campaign for? 2000? 2004? 2008? 2012? There are many different possibilities. --William S. Saturn (talk) 22:54, 20 January 2016 (UTC)

Moved back

Hi Anthony,

As the admin who moved it, I just wanted to let you know that I moved Tony DeFries back to Tony Defries. I've seen both spellings in reputable newspapers, but more importantly, his LinkedIn account uses the latter spelling. True, I can't verify that the LinkedIn is actually his, but it seems like a reasonable enough source until such a time as a better one can be found. The edit history appears to be intact and the former name now redirects to the latter.

Cheers, GentlemanGhost (converse) 01:34, 21 January 2016 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Filming revolution

A tag has been placed on Filming revolution requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section R2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a redirect from the article namespace to a different namespace except the Category, Template, Wikipedia, Help, or Portal namespaces.

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 "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.

CSD question

Hi Anthony! Yesterday this user page was nominated for CSD under the G11 criteria. I declined it as I didn't see anything "unambiguously promotional" there. Within hours the same user nominated it under CSD U5 (for "blatant misuse") upon which you deleted it. I still don't see how the page met that criteria, or any criteria, for speedy deletion. The English wasn't fantastic, but two speedy deletion notifications on their talk page for a single note that essentially says "I'm Bob from Detroit, born from a family of lawyers, and part of the local clergy" seems awfully bitey. What do you think?--Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 19:31, 27 January 2016 (UTC)

• @Ponyo: The page was User:Azeez oladimeji muyiwa. The text complained about was "AZEEZ OLADIMEJI MUYIWA WAS BORN IN VIEW YEARS BACK IN IKIRE TO IBADAN PARENT WORK AS CLERIC OF GOD'". Anthony Appleyard (talk) 23:42, 27 January 2016 (UTC)

I know which page it was, the link was just malformed in my message above. What I don't see is how the page was a "blatant misuse" of his userpage. It appears to be new user adding their name, provenance and work to their user page, which falls under WP:UPYES. The CSD template itself states "Note that plausible drafts, pages adhering to WP:UPYES, and résumé-style pages are not eligible under this criterion". How is this much different from the Bob example I provided above? It's not a huge deal, but I do believe the deletion was out of process. The single sentence on their userpage, which contained nothing offensive or contrary to policy, was nominated for deletion within two minutes of them creating it, then renominated and deleted shortly after I declined the deletion. That's bitey indeed. --Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 23:57, 27 January 2016 (UTC)

PS I hope I'm not coming off as hostile, it's not my intention. I was just surprised when I saw it was deleted as a CSD U5 when there was nothing objectionable about the page. I'm always open to differing view points, it's how we learn! --Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 00:04, 28 January 2016 (UTC)

    • Anthony Appleyard (talk) 06:08, 28 January 2016 (UTC)

I don't understand why you're showing me this, I know the edit history and it shows exactly what I described above (i.e. a new user creating an unobjectionable user page which is inexplicably tagged for CSD G11 within 2 minutes of creation, declined by me, retagged for CSD U5 and deleted by you). What I am asking is how does this page meet CSD U5 criteria as being "blatant misuse" of the user page contrary to WP:UPYES. --Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 17:10, 28 January 2016 (UTC)

• @Ponyo: OK, OK, I have undeleted it. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 23:31, 28 January 2016 (UTC)

Imagine how my husband feels; he has to deal with me every single day :) --Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 00:08, 30 January 2016 (UTC)

@Ponyo: lol. What a conversation. You know, Anthony Appleyard probably didn't realise you too were an admin, and was thus providing the deleted information. He works like a machine, sanctioning all sorts of moves and deletions on user request without giving them much thought, and reversing them as easily, again on user request. Many people come up with lengthy explanations here as to why a move he performed was inappropriate, probably expecting him to explain himself. But AA's reply would consist of nothing apart from a ping and a {{done}} tag (indicating that he has undid whatever was being opposed). He is my favourite admin (see #Move request above - I very much doubt if any AfC reviewer would have allowed those two drafts to be mainspaced.) 103.6.159.80 (talk) 17:02, 16 February 2016 (UTC)

Cleanify

• Hi Anthony, I am wondering why you deleted the Cleanify page I created. The page stated facts about the organization and didn't contain any promotional language. One of the complaints about the page from a previous admin was that the page didn't have enough citations, so I added 7 citations including 2 from TechCrunch. I would like to get started on creating a page that meets your standards. Would you be able to tell me what I can change to make the content on that page meet your standards? My goal is to create a page similar to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postmates or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uber_(company). Any input from you is appreciated.

You have reverted a move, without consensus!

Can you explain please why have you reverted the move The X-Files (TV Season 10) back to Miniseries despite consensus reached in the talk page for the opposite?

First of all, you have done the following: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_X-Files_%28miniseries%29&type=revision&diff=703725150&oldid=703671657 At the request of a user User:Wikipedical who said in his faulty comment "Still being discussed on talk page, edit summary for move cited false consensus. Should be reverted until consensus is determined from discussion."

The user Wikipedical claims that the "move was undiscusssed" which is not true. The move has already been discussed, and you can check the talk page here: Talk:The_X-Files_(miniseries) (under the section "Requested move 27 January 2016") and you can see that not only it was discussed in a period of half a month, but also a wide consensus has already been reached (not false consensus as Wikipedical falsely claims, but 8 users in favor of move, with only 3 users against, with one of the participants changing his vote from Oppose to Support as result of our discussion here, and thus, reaching consensus), and the result of the consensus was to move the page from Miniseries to The X-Files (TV Season 10). Please revert your revert, and suggest to the user Wikipedical that he checks his facts better before claiming that the move request was undiscussed or unsupported, and that he can open up a discussion in the Talk Page if he disagrees with the particular move (who, from what it seems, he hasn't done so far). Thank you. -- SILENTRESIDENT (talk) 13:48, 7 February 2016 (UTC)

Dear Anthony Appleyard, we are urging you to correct your mistake and to comply with Wikipedia's rules and with the community agreed in the Talk page's where a consensus has been reached. Please revert the name The X-Files (miniseries) back to The X-Files (TV Season 10), as the page move goes against consensus and I hope you correct your edits asap. If you do not, I may consider reporting this case to another Administrator or to the Administrator's noticeboard. -- SILENTRESIDENT (talk) 21:05, 7 February 2016 (UTC)

Dear Anthony Appleyard, my apologies, you can ignore my above comments as they are no longer holding - there is a discussion in the following page: [1] and I discovered that the discussion of the Move Request should have been decided and done by someone else and not by the person who started it (me).

Speedy deletion nomination of Harry Gentle Frank

A tag has been placed on Harry Gentle Frank requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section R2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a redirect from the article namespace to a different namespace except the Category, Template, Wikipedia, Help, or Portal namespaces.

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 "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.

Rhode Island Rebellion (rugby league)

Hi Anthony, can you reconsider your speedy deletion of this page under G4. From what I could tell (although I could be wrong) the page wasn't just a identical unimproved copy, although granted every article about a rugby league club will look similar. The original deletion discussion also mainly concerned itself with the issue of what was the primary topic and not the notability of the topic, and the project page wasn't notified which meant that there were no subject matter experts involved in the discussion.

Kooga Redirect

The reason why I am contacting yourself is because we have been alerted by our clients Kooga Rugby, who are concerned that when you search for 'Kooga Rugby' on the internet, the wikipedia page that appears is actually for BLK as they have put a redirect on their page.

We would like to question this as BLK only hold the rights to Kooga in Australia. Therefore the generic 'Kooga' redirect is directing ALL traffic to BLK's wikipedia and this is as major concern.

We are currently working on an Encyclopaedic page for Kooga which will go live in the next month. However we are concerned that even when this page is published all Kooga traffic will still go to the BLK. Can you look into this matter and see how this can be resolved.

Thank you

Categories that are members of themselves

Hi, when you take a cat out of itself, as you did here, please don't leave them orphan. When going through Wikipedia:Database reports/Self-categorized categories, what I normally do is to look for another existing category of related purpose, and copy from that. In this case, I copied the source of Category:Ordovician animals of North America to Category:Ordovician animals of South America, changing "North" to "South" throughout. --Redrose64 (talk) 15:58, 16 March 2016 (UTC)

Deep web (search) to Deep web move

Hi there

You just moved Deep web (search) to Deep web however the topic is controversial and there no consensus. Could you revert please? Deku-shrub (talk) 21:51, 18 March 2016 (UTC)

•  Done @Deku-shrub: Anthony Appleyard (talk) 21:56, 18 March 2016 (UTC)

Appreciated :) Deku-shrub (talk) 22:42, 18 March 2016 (UTC)

I'm having trouble determining the order of things. There was a discussion at Talk:Deep web (search) about the move that looks to have been closed as moved (one oppose based on an unsubstantiated claim that it's not the primary topic, and the other a procedural objection that the disambiguation move wasn't included in the proposal). Then it was moved, then it was unmoved but the disambiguation page is still at the awkward Deep Web (disambiguation) (why capitalized W?) and the most important page is just deleted (Deep web). If the move was done based on a claim that it's uncontroversial, a glance at the talk page should've revealed that there was in fact a discussion under way (or, depending on the timeline, a discussion that had just been closed), but the move was ultimately correct based on that discussion. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 02:56, 19 March 2016 (UTC)

• @Deku-shrub and Rhododendrites: I now have moved Deep Web (disambiguation) to Deep web (disambiguation). To avoid any more contradictory move requests, I have started a new move discussion at Talk:Deep web (search)#Requested move 19 March 2016. I am aware of unsearchable web areas :: for example, the old superseded edits of articles here in Wikipedia. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 10:36, 19 March 2016 (UTC)

What are you doing? There was already a move request. It was closed. The person who closed it, Tbhotch, listed it under "uncontroversial technical requests". I think that in general the person closing a move discussion should be the one to move it, but as the discussion was already closed, I get why Tbhotch listed it under uncontroversial. Regardless, even if it's inappropriate to list in that section, the link to the discussion is linked in the move request that appears in that permalink. So there should've been no confusion. Anybody moving the page based on a rationale of "per RM" linking to a discussion should've looked at that first -- or at least before undoing the move. Now notified of that discussion, instead of adhering to it, you're starting a new one (??). This is not a problem of conflicting move requests; it's a problem of weird choice of closing technique and mover that totally ignored that discussion. The only reason you got someone contesting the move -- someone who participated in that discussion -- is because it was done as "uncontroversial".

This seems very straightforward. There was a discussion. It closed with a particular result. It needs to be implemented, not started over. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 12:25, 19 March 2016 (UTC)

• The deep web is not a searching device, as the name "Deep web (search)" seems to imply to me, but a way to avoid public searching. I have received 2 contradictory related move requests recently. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 22:37, 19 March 2016 (UTC)

• I know what the deep web is. It's not a way to avoid public searching, it's just what is not available to search. But why does it matter, unless you're supervoting? Why does it matter what move requests you've received? There was a proposed move. The discussion lasted for a month. At the end, it was closed with consensus to move. You moved it, but both you and the closer made a mistake by calling it uncontroversial. Deku-shrub exploited that mistake by saying it is controversial, and you undid the move that was the outcome of a discussion -- not actually a technical move request.
• To fix it, please (1) close the new move request (2) move Deep web (search) to Deep web per the discussion that is now closed. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 22:52, 19 March 2016 (UTC)

WP:FIXDABLINKS

Anthony, I know you contribute a lot to Wikipedia and I hate to sound critical, but I really wish you would give some attention to WP:FIXDABLINKS before carrying out move requests like Naat. If a user asks to move a page to a different title, and to create a disambiguation page in its place, you could create a temporary redirect from the new title to the old one, and politely ask them to fix the incoming links before proceeding to carry out the move. Otherwise, you end up adding a lot of new work for other editors to do. --R'n'B (call me Russ) 13:14, 20 March 2016 (UTC)

• I have retargeted the title as a redirect to the poetry form, which is internationally important, and is the clear primary topic of the term. Disambiguating this is the equivalent of making hymn or psalm into a disambiguation page. The village is minor and obscure, and the scientific term is distinguished by being all caps. This was an ill-considered disambiguation. bd2412 T 15:00, 20 March 2016 (UTC)

Dear Anthony, I think you are not into the history of trigonometry, and perhaps it would be a good idea not to reverse changes made by people who know the topic. Canon sinuum is ambigous, it refers to a number of tables, including by Vlacq:

Template:Globalize_section irregularity

I believe Template talk:Globalize section#Requested move 21 March 2016 should be procedurally closed as out-of-process. Philg88 simply recused himself from performing the technical move – he says so on his talk page [6]. The move was not a personal request to move a page to name the requested desired, but SOP completing of valid, uncontested close. After discussion [same permalink as above], Philg88 made the move himself. So, a back-to-back second RM was created for something that was a recusal not a challenge, mooted further by action in support of the move, and the proper procedure for challenging a valid close would have been WP:MR anyway.  — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽^ʌⱷ҅_ᴥⱷ^ʌ≼  07:00, 22 March 2016 (UTC)

Yes, no, black, white

Hello! I noticed that you have speedily deleted the Yes, no, black, white game article using the CSD A11 criteria, which is "Article about a subject obviously invented by article creator or associate, which does not credibly indicate the importance or significance of the subject". I'd like to know why would it be a "subject obviously invented by article creator or associate"? Do I appear to have invented a game that has Google hits in multiple languages and on multiple unrelated sites or do I appear to have affiliations with the radio station Class FM? If you took the time to Google the names provided in the article, you could see that this game exists. Notability of the game is another question, but notability never warranted speedy deletion, and as there are multiple poorly sourced, OR-ridden articles or stubs about pen-and-paper, spoken and other "party games" (for ex.: hangman, dots and race game), not all particularly popular in Anglophone countries or in the US (thus not having articles about them contributing to systemic bias), I feel the speedy deletion was unwarranted. I would have contested it, but I was sleeping and it was deleted overnight... I'll provide links to prove the game is not "my invention" (not necessarily RS), as I have literally no connection whatsoever to the following materials:

Links showing names, rules and international spread:

• on English GamesWiki: [8]
• on German GamesWiki (Spielewiki): [9] (showing German name)
• on German T-Online's page: [10] (as a "travel game")
• on YouTube: [11] (German high school students playing the game)
• on YouTube: [12] (Hungarian call-in TV show on RTL Klub, the most-watched station in Hungary, a notable source)
• Origins Online: [13] (showing arguably US variant)
• Games-Stream: [14] (calling it a "social game")
• Homo Ludens: [15] (identifying a variant of the game as "folk game", collected by Katalin Lázár in Népi Játékgyűjtemény i.e. "Folk Game Collection", published by the Musicology Institute of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences)
• Homo Ludens: [16] (identifying a "scout" variant of the game, collected by Lázár in Népi Játékgyűjtemény, collection date here given as 1957)
• KefKefKef: [17] (introducing fixed rules about a "Not for Novices" variant)
• Zsúrjátékok.hu: [18] (includes a set of rules, categorizing the game as a "dexterity game" and a "funny game")
• Yahoo! Answers question: [19]
• Udvardicserkész.sk: [20] (calling it a "camp game", "cserkész" itself means scout)
• Gyakorikérdések.hu: [21] (Hungarian site similar to Y!A), and aforementioned "scout" variant: [22]
• on Frihost Forums: [23] (with one poster identifying a variant as an "Interview game. Silly it was, it used to be on the Dutch radio here.. people called in (...)")

Other links showing cultural significance:

• Sarit Shani Hay: [24] (an Israeli art exhibition referencing the "Yes-No, Black-White" name)
• Hungarian Wikipedia: [25] (the American movie Grassroots has the name of the game in the Hungarian dub)
• IMDb: [26] (Hungarian short film made in 2001 using the game's name)
• same film on Port.hu (notable source): [27]
• Hungaroton (notable source): [28] comedian Géza Hofi's album Első menet has a track titled with the game's name)
• bpxv.blog.hu: [29] (Hungarian state broadcaster Magyar Televízió (MTV), a notable source, had a Budapest locality quiz show running from 1969 to 1970 named after the game)
• Port.hu: [30] (a Hungarian jewelry exhibition titled "Yes! No Black White - Fekete Fehér Igen! Nem", using both the English and Hungarian name)
• Budapest Design Week page for the exhibition: [31]
• Facebook page for the exhibition: [32]
• Index.hu (notable source): [33] (the article title about unrelated UK political topic references the game name)
• Ma.hu (possibly notable source): [34] (the article using the game's name in title about the recent Oscars controversy of not awarding black actors/actresses)
• Academia.edu: [35] (e-book titled with both the English and Hungarian name)

Class FM-related links:

• Class FM's Morning Show website: [36] (announcing the game back in 2010), [37] (Class FM has wide coverage over Hungary and is notable)
• Class FM's FB post announcing the game in 2010: [38]
• official game rules on Class FM's website: [39] ("1 perc" for example means 1 minute, "tiltott szó" means forbidden word)
• a record of a game session on YT: [40] (static image with the game's name shown)

Since I believe that the aforemented batch of sources establish or at very least indicate the international presence and importance of the game in at least the Anglosphere, Germany, Hungary, the Netherlands and Israel, and as I believe that presenting these sources qualifies as a "credible claim of significance" as per established speedy deletion norms (as detailed at WP:CCS), I'd ask for the restoration of the Yes, no, black, white article so it could have a chance of being reliably sourced as much as it is possible, improving Wikipedia's coverage of widely played games. Thank you for your understanding! --Rev L. Snowfox (talk) 12:09, 31 March 2016 (UTC)

Meat tenderness histmerge

Hello. The case of Meat tenderness (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) is a bit unusual, so I ought to explain. I created that article on March 17, and plan to expand it further (and I'm the sole author at the moment). Afterwards, I noticed that the old article Tenderizing (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) is actually a sub-topic of that, and I'd like to merge it wholesale into meat tenderness. I'm well-versed with Wikipedia:Merging procedure, and I can still do the simple Full-content paste merger procedure, but here I saw the occasion to merge the histories as well – last edit at Tenderizing was in August 2015, so the two histories would stack on top of each other nicely. (If I had seen the Tenderizing article earlier, I could have expanded it and moved it to new title myself, but alas I hadn't).

If you think preserving the joined history is not worth the bother, I'm fine with that, so I'll do it the old-fashioned way. No such user (talk) 14:12, 1 April 2016 (UTC)

• @Stefan2: In the article, the Devanagari form transcribes as "dānāpur kyānţōnmēnţ"; but in the Arabic alphabet form the only vowel sign is a kasra under the initial "d", thus showing "Dināp...".

Page Corey Mills deleted

Hi Anthony, I am not aware of how to use Wikipedia other than search. During a link check, just a moment ago, I found that you deleted a page titled, Corey Mills, on March 27, 2016 at 2:44pm. This page was about me; a legitimate source of relevant information. Your remarks state the page was deleted due to unambiguous copyright infringement. I checked the links to which you posted and found that both the pages are editable by my staff, and that one, Festivalnet, is a complete copy from Wikipedia.

• I noticed that you replaced the old version of the Dodge Tomahawk article with a draft version made by some other editors.

Unfortunately, that was the content that was the subject of extensive discussion, we had a lot of issues with undue weight and too much focus on one particular issue, and there was certainly no consensus to change. Unfortunately, I (and others involved in that discussion) are subject to an interaction ban, so I'm not about to get into a lot of detail, without consulting the admins involved in the interaction ban. What I will say, is that the interaction ban was a good idea, and this move has the potential to derail a lot of work that went into making things peaceful. I have no idea who actually requested the move and I won't ask, because it might prompt me into getting involved into things that are against an ANI resolution. I will however ask you to take a quick look into the background of the move, and take whatever action you think is best. thanks Spacecowboy420 (talk) 14:02, 5 April 2016 (UTC)

You helpfully moved a page to Social justice warrior after standard process at WP:REQMOVE.

• @Cirt: I found that Social justice warrior contained an accumulation of redirect edits (perhaps left by a move war), and, older than those, some older article edits, and that Social Justice Warrior contained the bulk of the article edits, so I history-merged (but not the redirects).

Josh Hart

• Josh Hart (basketball) is the more notable Josh Hart at this point and should be without the disambiguation. Right now the basketball player should be located at just "Josh Hart" with a hatnote directing to the baseball player--Yankees10 21:45, 5 April 2016 (UTC)

Undo move request

Hello Anthony. Could you please undo this move request. It's not "uncotroversial". In fact, Thewolfchild has a previous move request in for this, but because of an error in the templating, it was not published to the WP:RM listing. Thus, it absolutely isn't an "uncontroversial" request, but is an out-of-process request in the middle of a concurrent WP:RM. I'm going to try to fix the templating of the RM on my end (this may "reset" the date of publishing...), to get the original request published to WP:RM. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 03:15, 7 April 2016 (UTC) (Correcting: it looks like it was published to WP:RM afterall. But my original undo request still stands. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 03:22, 7 April 2016 (UTC)) (edit conflict)

I don't see how it's a "controversial" move. Using "2001-2014" looks better than "2001-14" and the former style is used in most article titles with a range of years. Also, a "template error" certainly isn't my fault. I filed a move request on the talk page and no one even responded to it, (nevermind contesting it), for a week, so that's why I filed it as uncontroversial. How can it be controversial if no one cares? - ^theWOLFchild 03:24, 7 April 2016 (UTC)

You don't make "uncontroversial move requests" in the middle of a Requested move request because, by definition, it's not "uncontroversial". Beyond that WP:IDONTLIKEIT is not a valid reason to ignore a clear guideline like MOS:DATERANGE – IOW, what you think "looks good" isn't relevant. (Further MOS:BADDATEFORMAT doesn't even apply in this case.) --IJBall (contribs • talk) 03:29, 7 April 2016 (UTC)

• @IJBall and Thewolfchild:  Done; please continue this discussion in Talk:War in Afghanistan (2001–14)#Requested move 1 April 2016. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 04:56, 7 April 2016 (UTC)

Just to be clear, when you made the first move, there was no discussion. But now that there is a discussion, you're moving it back, in the middle of said discussion...? Do I have this right? - ^theWOLFchild 05:03, 7 April 2016 (UTC)

Generally, you're supposed to roll back to the version before the controversial changes were made, and then discuss. That's pretty much the hallmark of WP:BRD. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 12:29, 7 April 2016 (UTC)

• @IJBall and Thewolfchild: It seems that again I cannot satisfy both sides at once. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 05:10, 7 April 2016 (UTC)

  • I found no sign of c&p moves except the 2 listed here.
  • MTV Italy (original) and/or MTV Italy cannot be history-merged into MTV8 due to severe WP:Parallel histories.
  • Cross-compare between a late edit of MTV8 and an early edit of TV8 (Italy) shows similarity and probably cut-and-paste move between them.

List of male tennis players

Dear Anthony, What can be done about those singles and doubles pages? Rovingrobert (talk) 00:09, 11 April 2016 (UTC)

• @Rovingrobert: If you mean List of male singles tennis players and List of male doubles tennis players, they have been tagged for someone to text-merge them. See Wikipedia:Requested moves/Technical requests#Contested technical requests, where I have re-inserted the tennis discussion. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 04:57, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
  • What does text merging mean, good sir? Rovingrobert (talk) 11:31, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
• @Rovingrobert: Text-merging pages X and Y would mean combining their text to make a single page Z, removing any duplicated or otherwise unnecessary matter, and arranging everything that it together makes one sensible well-arranged article. In this case it would mean combining the two tables List of male singles tennis players and List of male doubles tennis players into one table in (say) List of male tennis players; each line might contain a symbol S or D or B to mean that that player plays "singles" or "doubles" or "both". Anthony Appleyard (talk) 11:46, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
  • Sounds reasonable, but the separate articles never really took off anyway. What I mean by that is that the singles article still has all but a few of the doubles players, and vice-versa. Rovingrobert (talk) 11:54, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
• @Rovingrobert: For an example of text-merging, see the start of the history of page Diesel exhaust, which I made by text-merging pages Diesel particulate matter and Diesel exhaust air contaminants and the section Exhaust gas#Diesel engines. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 12:16, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
  • Okay, that's interesting. My only quibble would be that the singles and doubles articles started off as one, and haven't really changed since the split. Rovingrobert (talk) 12:52, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
• @Rovingrobert: I tried to start text-merging these 2 pages, but it would be a long job, including checking for where the same tennis player occurs in both pages with different information in each page. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 12:41, 12 April 2016 (UTC)
  • Yeah, maybe it would be better to just delete the doubles page and restore the singles to an earlier edit. Then delete the redirect and move the singles to that page. Just a thought. Rovingrobert (talk) 01:06, 13 April 2016 (UTC)
• @Rovingrobert: See Talk:List of male singles tennis players#Merger (2016). Anthony Appleyard (talk) 10:28, 13 April 2016 (UTC)
  • Thanks for the tip. Shouldn't that discussion go at the top of the talk page, though? I've seen that it does on other similar pages. Rovingrobert (talk) 11:21, 13 April 2016 (UTC)

Andrés Pérez (footballer, born 1988)

• You have recently moved this article as "uncontroversial" - even though if you check the page history I have previously reverted such a move with the summary "undiscussed, no explanation, seems uneccessary." Please can you undo the move, we need a full RM. GiantSnowman 07:09, 19 April 2016 (UTC)
• @GiantSnowman: I realise what you say, but the move was from Andrés Pérez (soccer) to Andrés Pérez (footballer, born 1988), and "Andrés Pérez (soccer)" is ambiguous and could also mean Andrés Pérez (footballer, born 1980), who according to his Wikipedia article also played association football, which is another name for soccer. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 10:28, 19 April 2016 (UTC)

• Actually it's standard to have (soccer) for US players and (footballer) for non-US players. GiantSnowman 19:39, 19 April 2016 (UTC)

  That's true, although we don't usually use the WP:ENGVAR (soccer) vs (footballer) as the only way to disambiguate between two players. The best title for this article might be Andrés Pérez (soccer, born 1988). If that seems fine to both GiantSnowman and Anthony Appleyard, we can move it there... otherwise a full RM seems in order.

Automatic archiving was recently instituted at this page but the editor who wrote the code put in an errant counter (setting it to 9 when I think it should have been set to maybe 2?). Anyway, so now there is an Archive 1 and an Archive 9 and (of course) no linkage on the main talk page to show that a second archive page has been instituted since9 does't normally come after "1"... I know content now has to be moved around/deleted/renamed/etc... Could you please take a look at it? This is the edit history.

It was at the incorrect "Selim Mehajer" because the correct title was blocked by a redirect, I nominated it at WP:RM, which you apparently read, and now it's still there: (cur | prev) 13:41, 10 May 2016‎ Anthony Appleyard (talk | contribs)‎ . . (43 bytes) (+43)‎ . . (Anthony Appleyard moved page Salim Mejaher to Selim Mehajer: spelling) (thank).

That's the wrong spelling - you've moved it from the correct-but-blocked title to the incorrect-title-it-was-already-stuck-at? The Drover's Wife (talk) 05:53, 10 May 2016 (UTC)

It seems like you did the correct move and then 30 minutes later reverted it to the wrong spelling with the edit summary of "spelling" (thus reinstating the blocking redirect at the correct spelling)? The Drover's Wife (talk) 05:56, 10 May 2016 (UTC)

Hi Anthony, actually - we requested that the page be moved to Salim Mehajer, but you appear to have moved it back to Selim Mehajer. Could you please move it back to Salim Mehajer? Thanks! - Letsbefiends (talk) 05:54, 10 May 2016 (UTC)

Yes, the request was Selim Mehajer → Salim Mehajer but despite all the moves, the old position prevails. WWGB (talk) 05:59, 10 May 2016 (UTC)

Please advise. The above page created with 'cut-and-paste move' from the Trewan Hall page. I know, as i spent along time creating it.

1985 Rapel Lake earthquake

Hi! I suggest you to move again the article "1985 Pichilemu earthquake" to "1985 Rapel Lake earthquake", according to the discussion given some time ago in the article, that says: "If you google "1985 Lake Rapel earthquake", the search engine gives you about 46,000,000 results and "1985 Pichilemu earthquake" gives only 56,400 results. As WP:COMMONNAME applies here, the most used name is the Rapel Lake and not Pichilemu." And also, I'm suspecting that the IP addrees that suggest you to move back the article was an IP address related to User:Diego Grez-Cañete, who was blocked some time ago because he made disruptive editing and had non-civic attitude, and who was warned about their attitude trying to capitalize or given more relevance than the real to Pichilemu (the city where he come from), even without sources that could validate their relevance or their articles.

Surtees TS14

Hello, I notice you sorted out a muddled situation at the above page and its associated draft, talk-pages etc. This was brought about by the actions of a long-term disruptive IP editor of F1 projects, who after almost a year and over 120 different IP addresses has finally created an account. He has absolutely no concept of Wiki guidelines or policies and the F1 project have been battling with his sub-standard work for some time. In this instance the draft was rejected as not adequately demonstrating notability, whereupon the former IP editor created an account and seemingly copied & pasted the content to mainspace. Thus rather 'gaming' the system in the view of F1 project members. We were wondering if this is an acceptable procedure? Another editor I mentioned it to, suggested bringing it up at WT:WPAFC?

Hi, Anthony. I've seen and appreciated your work for a long time, so I hope you don't mind my asking why the exclamation point in the show's title. I can't find one anywhere at http://livekelly.com/#, and in fact that official site seems to prefer no exclamation point, as in front-page text treatments for: "LIVE's Best Halloween show Ever...Seriously", "LIVE Video Archive" and "TOP LIVE VIDEOS". I think the title with the apostrophe-s is telling, since it would have been "LIVE!'s" if the exclamation point were there.

Hi Anthony – I need your help again: SSTflyer just moved The Lying Game (TV series) to The Lying Game despite a recent WP:RM discussion against making that very move, at least at this time (as well as a separate current RM discussion at The Lying Game (disambiguation)). Could you please revert SSTflyer's unprompted moves? Thanks. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 02:26, 28 May 2016 (UTC)

Wrong. The Lying Game has been the stable title for the TV series, it should stay there unless there is consensus against it. SSTflyer 02:28, 28 May 2016 (UTC)

@SSTflyer: I was afraid you were going to dig your heals in on this. You are ignoring a WP:RM discussion result. There is simply no excuse for this. If you keep on this path, I'm going to have no choice but to go to WP:PERM and ask that they take a look at revoking your Page mover rights. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 02:30, 28 May 2016 (UTC)

(edit conflict) The RM was closed as no consensus. In these cases, where there is no consensus what the title of an article should be, the article is moved back to its long-term stable title. Wayback Machine archives show that The Lying Game has been the title for the TV series in 2011, 2014, 2015, and as recently as April 2016. Restoring the article to where it was located for 5 years is correct here. SSTflyer 02:38, 28 May 2016 (UTC)

As a Page mover, you should not be making moves like this without consensus. I am the first to acknowledge that the IP who did those recent page moves involving The Lying Game articles made things a confusing mess. But Anthony tried to restore some order to this mess, and it should put no one out to wait a month to let the dust settle before performing another WP:RM. I am really disappointed with you on this. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 02:43, 28 May 2016 (UTC)

Reverting an undiscussed move is specifically listed as uncontroversial at WP:RMT. There has never been any consensus that the TV series should be moved from The Lying Game to The Lying Game (TV series). When there is no consensus that The Lying Game (TV series) as a title is appropriate, moving back to the long-term stable title is appropriate, and has been done by numerous admins.

A subsequent RM discussion was closed to revert this move, so I moved it back today (the redirect was nominated for speedy deletion, which is where I came across this). The move from the caps was not technical due to two issues: 1. There has been a number of RM discussions, and a 2013 discussion gained consensus for the caps; 2. The user who asked for the move is subject to a restriction to not move any pages without gaining consensus, following a 2013 unblock. I have reblocked them for repeatedly breaching that restriction.

Anthony, thanks for all your great work on technicals. You and Philg88 don't usually collide like you just did; I hope you'll find a way to work it out and/or avoid it in the future. Dicklyon (talk) 04:49, 13 June 2016 (UTC)

Undelete Cabinet Document Management Solutions

A page with this title has previously been deleted. If you are creating a new page with different content, please continue. If you are recreating a page similar to the previously deleted page, or are unsure, please first contact the deleting administrator using the information provided below. 20:51, 9 June 2016 Anthony Appleyard (talk | contribs) deleted page Cabinet Document Management Solutions (G11: Unambiguous advertising or promotion)

Anthony, could you undelete the Cabinet Document Management Solution page? I have worked to edit the copy to remove promotional content. I would like to recreate a similar page. Lauren Szoszorek (talk) 18:37, 13 June 2016 (UTC)

• @Lauren Szoszorek: Page Cabinet Document Management Solutions looks to me like routine advertisement promoting a routine business advisory firm. Wikipedia is not a trade directory. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 22:29, 13 June 2016 (UTC)

Can of worms

Sorry about the page move request for SIndikato. At least it let someone familiar with the sock get involved. And for some reason I never got the ping from the talk page /shrug.--☾Loriendrew☽ ☏(ring-ring) 14:10, 19 June 2016 (UTC)

Sindikato

• Re: this: why are you feeding this troll? WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 11:00, 20 June 2016 (UTC)
• @WikiDan61: I at first gave him the benefit of the doubt as if he was a legitimate user. Now it seems that he is not. Sorry. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 12:42, 20 June 2016 (UTC)
  • No problem. This is one of the long term socking cases I have on my radar. I sometimes make the mistake of assuming that all admins have all abuse cases on their radars -- clearly that's impossible. You might want to add this one to your watchlist though -- it's been going on for ages. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 13:03, 20 June 2016 (UTC)

Copy-paste issue?

• On Special:Diff/724872009 and Special:Diff/724871905, I don't know if I should just copy the WikiProject banners back to the article talk (currently at Talk:Enrique Alfaro Rojas), or if some merge is needed. — Andy W. (talk · ctb) 00:40, 21 June 2016 (UTC)
• @Andy M. Wang: Copy the banners across. The 2 pages are very different at what some might call a cut-and-paste point, and they are only talk pages, not articles. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 04:52, 21 June 2016 (UTC)
  • Unrelated issue: Special:Diff/725735173 looks like a copy-paste job from Hicham Bensassi, and made a mess by also nominating the original page here. — Andy W. (talk · ctb) 07:28, 21 June 2016 (UTC)

Thanks!

I think everything is cleaned up for the myriad pages dealing with Catholicism and Freemasonry. I'm hoping we end up just moving it back to the most neutral title, but we shall see. The history merge needed to be done regardless of any move discussion, so at least that won't get any worse. MSJapan (talk) 04:59, 23 June 2016 (UTC)

Thanks!

	I had the chance to observe this fairly large (to me it seemed big) histmerge for this page and talk page/subpage consolidation/cleanup happen. Thanks for all your help. I made this title up, thought it was appropriate. Cheers! — Andy W. (talk · ctb) 05:25, 23 June 2016 (UTC)

Thanks

I should have looked at the Daredevil (Marvel Comics) talk page. Thanks for the help. With regards, --Tenebrae (talk) 17:00, 27 June 2016 (UTC)

Anastasia

• Hi Anthony, was wondering if you can move Anastasia (2016 musical) to Anastasia (musical) please, as no other Anastasia musicals have an article. Thanks! Best, --Discographer (talk) 14:18, 28 June 2016 (UTC)

Dhruv Raj Sharma‎

• Hi! As far as I know, Dhruv Raj Sharma‎ is a Nepali/Hindi male name and it's clearly inappropriate redirecting it to Zindagi Abhi Baaki Hai Mere Ghost. - INVISIBLE^-Talk! 05:01, 29 June 2016 (UTC)
• @Invisible Guy: He acted in Zindagi Abhi Baaki Hai Mere Ghost. If you have substantial information about Dhruv Raj Sharma, then change page Dhruv Raj Sharma from a redirect into an article about him. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 05:06, 29 June 2016 (UTC)

Histmerge on Deep K Patel

Hello. Thanks for doing the histmerge on Deep K Patel‎, speedying it was a mistake on my part. Now that it's done, could you delete it? The article has been repeatedly recreated at Deep K. Patel and Deep Patel by a persistent sockfarm (Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Editor2626744), so leaving the redirect is just inviting it to be recreated again. Also, as far as I know there is no connection between Demazière and Deep K Patel, it was just a (bad) attempt to avoid scrutiny. As a redirect is serves no purpose. Thanks. Grayfell (talk) 05:15, 29 June 2016 (UTC)

Portal:Anime and manga

• Hi, saw the RMT request for the portal. Is Portal:Anime and manga supposed to be a redirect to itself? — Andy W. (talk · ctb) 21:09, 30 June 2016 (UTC)
• The page Portal:Anime and manga currently redirects to itself. Can you please undelete the deleted revisions of that page and revert it to the last non-redirect revision? GeoffreyT2000 (talk) 21:13, 30 June 2016 (UTC)
• @Andy M. Wang and GeoffreyT2000: Now  Done. I was asked to move Portal:Anime and Manga to Portal:Anime and manga, and it had over 500 !!!!! subpages. Wikipedia would move only 100 of the subpages at a time, so I had to call the move 6 times to drag all the subpages across with it in batches of 100. I have corrected the resulting redirect-to-itself. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 21:18, 30 June 2016 (UTC)

  Wow, that's a big move. I can't find the documentation for moving 100+ subpages anywhere, but I heard that stewards are able to perform these moves in huge batches with some other permission. Thanks also for the Southern Cross Nine merge too (I think I rv'd it to a clean revision) — Andy W. (talk · ctb) 21:24, 30 June 2016 (UTC)

Al-Ahbash

I woke up this morning and saw that you have deleted the [Al-Ahbash] page and merged it with [Aicp] although it should have been the other way around as [Al-Ahbash] has been there for the past more than one decade and [Aicp] was recently created by lifting content from the [Al-Ahbash]. I hope you will kindly look into that. Thank you. McKhan ^(talk) 15:27, 7 July 2016 (UTC)

Never mind. I was able to find everything by going into history. Thank you. McKhan ^(talk) 15:57, 7 July 2016 (UTC)

Al-Ahbash and Aicp has been merged now. Given that Aicp is an acronym of Association of Islamic Charitable Projects and the acronyms are usually written in capital letters, thus, I would like to suggest to change Aicp to either AICP or A.I.C.P.. Thank you. McKhan ^(talk) 16:20, 7 July 2016 (UTC)

• @McKhan: I have moved Aicp to Al-Ahbash. There is already a disambig page (with 5 choices) at AICP. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 19:57, 7 July 2016 (UTC)

You have deleted Talk:Aicp and most of its subpages, but forgot to delete Talk:Aicp/Archive 4. Can you delete that as well, please? 24.205.8.104 (talk) 20:15, 7 July 2016 (UTC)
