I read those discussions (rather the second one). There is no consensus there to change the MOS page that I can see. Please show the specific agreement - it should be on the MOS talk page, otherwise, the (non-consensual) change shall need to be removed. At the very least, you should explain your change on the MOS page. thank you --Merbabu (talk) 22:16, 26 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
MoS
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
I can see you feel strongly about this. It's quite hard for me to see why you can't see that your behaviour is inappropriate but I'll try. First, whenever you find yourself reverting against multiple editors that is a good sign that consensus isn't where you think it is. Secondly, you can't have it both ways; you are clearly way too involved to perform administrative functions like closing discussions, determining consensus etc. I am equally unable to perform administrative functions here as I have been involved in flag discussions in the past. I think you should pull back from the extreme position you are taking. --John (talk) 08:40, 27 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Carlossuarez, you have gone beyond amazing me -- by "warning" me you are actually threatening to block me -- this is an abuse of your position as an admin. Case in point: some months ago you unilaterally add the WP:GEOGRAPHY footnote, and then -- when it is deleted -- you contend that "Project members" discussed the addition. You re-add the footnote with edit summaries that says it was deleted by non-Project members when you, yourself, are not a member of the Project. In any event, the addition of that footnote contravenes the LOCALCONSENSUS guidance! I think your original footnote was an attempted end-run around the MOS FLAG and ICON guidance. I sought to discuss the topic on the Project page, wondering if it was an appropriate location for the discussion. So what happens:
At 04:14 (UTC) 12 Feb, I suggest we move the discussion.
At 19:01 (UTC) 12 Feb, you closed the discussion, based on an invented "consensus" from Project members -- even though not a single listed member of the Geography Project had contributed to the discussion. And you invited editors to "mosey" over to another discussion, even without setting up an appropriate discussion.
At 01:33 (UTC) 13 Feb I invited editors to go to the settlement infobox discussion that I started to hash out the FLAGCON discussion. (And posted notices of the discussion elsewhere.) You participated in that discussion without any complaint about its' location. Moreover, I am the one who researched the numbers as to how many settlement FAs & GAs articles had FLAGCONS on them. And you have used the results of my research to support your arguments. And now you say that I "unilaterally" started a discussion on the GEOGRAPHY talk page and I "unilaterally" moved the discussion?!
Again, the sequence was 1. I suggest moving discussion to more appropriate page; 2. You seem to agree that the discussion should move and close the discussion on the Project page. 3. I set up a discussion on the settlement box page. 4. We seem to reach a consensus on the infobox page. And, 5. As the Project footnote is clearly out of accordance with MOS Guidance, I delete the footnote and I (again) cite the Guidance to support the deleting.
Carlossuarez, the only appropriate course of action for you is to apologize for your abusive conduct and support the deletion of the Footnote.--S. Rich (talk) 23:07, 26 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Also, your "so what? you gonna sue them, block them?" comment is a snide WP:NPA. E.g., I have declared what my profession is on my talk page and I am not an admin, so the comment is clearly directed towards me and does nothing to improve WP.--S. Rich (talk) 23:14, 26 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
To the bigot or bigots who have wikistalked me and vandalized my talk page: rather than anger, I feel pity that your life/lives are so miserable that you get your kicks this way. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 17:51, 27 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I've very impressed by the way you stood your ground and were instrumental in making headway over the flag issue. I wasn't certain it was worth it but you've proved otherwise. I suspect that we'll still have problems from time to time but I really appreciate what you did and hope editing will be more pleasurable from now on. Its great to see you resuming anyway.. ♦ Dr. Blofeld21:05, 19 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Hi ! Thank you for beginning the great job of creating Iranian county templates.That seems to be a difficult and time consuming task.In the new templates , in the closing lines , after the <noinclude> , if we leave some extra lines , the result will be some lines free . Don't know is it necessary or not . I mean this change : [1] . If the extra lines are unnecessary , then let's change the other templates and the coming ones.--Alborz Fallah (talk) 06:25, 28 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Extra lines does affect the end result display. As an example please compare these two :
Well , I think that is important because I encountered the same problem after I made all templates of Iranian provinces and that caused me to change them all. I looked it up in Chrome and it turned out to be the same as Firefox .the view in Chrome--Alborz Fallah (talk) 06:02, 29 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Mianej, Qazvin has no extra lines because 1-The article has only one box template and 2- I have changed the problematic extra lines in this edit :[2] previously . But as another example try this :
As you see , the Azna County template which still have extra lines , makes three lines empty after it , but Lorestan Province template does not makes any lines empty after it . --Alborz Fallah (talk) 17:49, 29 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Followup RFC to WP:RFC/AAT now in community feedback phase
Hello. As a participant in Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Abortion article titles, you may wish to register an opinion on its followup RFC, Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Abortion advocacy movement coverage, which is now in its community feedback phase. Please note that WP:RFC/AAMC is not simply a repeat of WP:RFC/AAT, and is attempting to achieve better results by asking a more narrowly-focused, policy-based question of the community. Assumptions based on the previous RFC should be discarded before participation, particularly the assumption that Wikipedia has or inherently needs to have articles covering generalized perspective on each side of abortion advocacy, and that what we are trying to do is come up with labels for that.

I disagree. For example, a disambiguation page with a single person on it, and a couple of objects that are derived from somebody's surname.

Pruning x words cats
I have tried to prune out articles on things from words cats, but as seen with Luau, including the very beligerent reactions to my explaining my reasoning for not classifying it in a word category on the talk page, moany editors are not willing to accept that word categories should not be put on articles on things.

I reverted the removal of the category from Ashva. IMO, the article is about the Sanskrit word and its Indo–European roots rather than a mythological concept even if it doesn't appear so currently. Correct Knowledge«৳alk»04:13, 12 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, I see you are removing this category from articles that are actually about Sanskrit words. As I understand it, this is not according to the result of the CfD. My apologies if I am wrong. HoverfishTalk22:43, 12 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Well, Sanskara, Guru, Maya, are all Sanskrit words and the articles are about these words. I do not understand where you make a distinction between words and concepts, neither do I find this defined in the CfD. Do you suggest deleting the whole Category:Words and phrases by language? If not then why just Sanskrit? I see lots of Greek words I am very familiar with under Category:Greek words and phrases and many correspond to things (Avgolemono, Nomisma) and concepts (Metousiosis, Philia). Where is a clean line to draw? HoverfishTalk22:55, 12 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Again, you misunderstand; the Greek words needs to be purged as well; WP:OTHERCRAPEXISTS is poor argument. What is kept categorized are precisely those articles that are about the word itself not about its philosophical connotations. I think you'll find it hard to remove the conceptual categories from any of the Sanskrit words you want to add cats to. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 23:03, 12 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
May I suggest placing a precise header in ALL these language/words categories that explains where the category applies and where not. Something like "This category is not for articles that treat concepts but only for articles that are about the words themselves. Please keep this category purged of everything that is not actually an article about a word or phrase." BTW, I do not argue for "crap" in Wikipedia. It is best to have things made clear, where possible. HoverfishTalk00:35, 13 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

For example : I want create an article on a Museum called "Musée Georges-Garret", so do I call "Musée Georges Garret" (in french), "Museum Georges-Garret" or "Georges-Garret Museum" (in english)?

Hi again, I noticed that all the articles except V Andromedae were dePRODded by either you or another editor. However, I still do not believe that the articles are notable; all Google Scholar hits for these turned up only lists of objects, nothing else, which are "trivial coverage", and thus do not pass guideline 3 of WP:NASTRO. Therefore, I have sent the articles to AfD. StringTheory11 (t • c) 02:20, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on Rezvaniyeh requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, images, a rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.
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.

I have responded on my talk page, on the cats for discussion page and the individual talk pages of the articles in question. Your accusation of vandalism is completely unwarranted. In fact, it is your creation of these categories for population by such people that is utterly wrong-headed. There is no direct reliably sourced material in any of the articles that these people were Nazis, except in the case of Remer in a post-war sense (therefore a Neo-Nazi). It can be reasonably assumed that Brunner, as an SS officer, was also a member of the NSDAP (although there is no evidence of his membership of the Party in the article). However, Dukovac was a Croat, and there isn't any evidence at all that he was even an Ustasha, let alone a member of the NSDAP. That aside, in none of the articles is there any evidence that they were ever Syrian! They apparently lived there in an expatriate sense, Dukovac certainly flew for the Syrian Air Force (all sorts of people fought on both sides in 1948), but where is the evidence that he or any of the others held Syrian (or Egyptian) citizenship? I think what you are trying to get with a couple of them is an intersection of a non-existent Category:German expatriates in Syria and Category:Nazis, but that is not the question. The question is why did you create and populate these categories when there isn't evidence in the article that they fit into them? Peacemaker67 (send... over) 23:39, 23 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I suggest you temper your comments and WP:AGF. You have so far accused me of vandalism and implied that I am using some kind of warped logic to push the deletions of two categories that were poorly named and inappropriately populated. You need to brush up on WP:CIVILITY. Regards, Peacemaker67 (send... over) 03:01, 25 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Crowden, Devon until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion.

Andrew Luster "Prison sentence and civil suits" section
In hindsight, I can see how the presence of my signature at the end of the section may have made it appear as if I'd written the entire section. However I did write, the 4th paragraph in that section in my own words. So instead of including my signature in the body of the article (my mistake) I left it out, as you wished and rectified the situation by accrediting the reference to it's original author in the "reference" portion, instead. I am a reasonable person, and if you'd approached me on 'talk' instead of coldly deleting my signature without prior warning or any given reason(s), I gladly would have left line 44 out, if I saw just cause (which I did on by own accord, anyhow). Especially since this was the first time I'd edited/added anything on Wikipedia. I am a Ventura County native and a rape survivor (And no, I am not one of Luster's victims). So please, do not take from the profoundness of these elements and how much strength it took to keep it unbiased and to be able to inform my hometown, and the world about the facts. If you disagree with the latest edit, please let me know through 'talk.' Please do not delete anything that I can very well remove on my own, when/if prompted. I trust you'll understand, just as I understood your deletion and likewise, I respected it. Thank you kindly, sir. Amanda A.

Hi Carlos. While I agree that any place isn't "inherently" notable, I think time and time again we've demonstrated that verifiable populated places meet guidelines and are always kept. Would you be interested in proposing a new rule for AFD to quick keep any articles on a verifiable settlement which hits AFD?

I'm sending you this because you've made quite a few edits to the template namespace in the past couple of months. If I've got this wrong, or if I haven't but you're not interested in my request, don't worry; this is the only notice I'm sending out on the subject :).
So, as you know (or should know - we sent out a centralnotice and several watchlist notices) we're planning to deploy the VisualEditor on Monday, 1 July, as the default editor. For those of us who prefer markup editing, fear not; we'll still be able to use the markup editor, which isn't going anywhere.
What's important here, though, is that the VisualEditor features an interactive template inspector; you click an icon on a template and it shows you the parameters, the contents of those fields, and human-readable parameter names, along with descriptions of what each parameter does. Personally, I find this pretty awesome, and from Monday it's going to be heavily used, since, as said, the VisualEditor will become the default.
The thing that generates the human-readable names and descriptions is a small JSON data structure, loaded through an extension called TemplateData. I'm reaching out to you in the hopes that you'd be willing and able to put some time into adding TemplateData to high-profile templates. It's pretty easy to understand (heck, if I can write it, anyone can) and you can find a guide here, along with a list of prominent templates, although I suspect we can all hazard a guess as to high-profile templates that would benefit from this. Hopefully you're willing to give it a try; the more TemplateData sections get added, the better the interface can be. If you run into any problems, drop a note on the Feedback page.

Police misconduct in Germany CFD
Linguistic point taken, but as Gestapo activities were prosecuted as war crimes, I'm of the opinion that categorizing such as "police misconduct" is inappropriate. Bribery and corruption are really not on the same plane as executions and mass genocide when attached to bio articles, and there are similar issues with all of the misconduct cats that were recently created - they're all full of Gestapo officials (and I'm pretty sure there should be a Gestapo cat for this to separate it from the prior and subsequent police forces).

Hello Carlos. You may know about this issue of transliterating a specific Arabic letter with this uncommon Unicode character. The character is modifier letter left half ring which is written as ʿ and it seems to occur 314 times in the text of Wikipedia articles.
I'm writing to you because you've used it at Ali Mahmud so the issue may be familiar to you. There's a move discussion I'm hoping to close at Talk:Abdul Majid al-Qa′ud#Request to purge OR from the title. An editor wants to transliterate the Arabic letter ayin with the Modifier letter left half ring, and do so in the article title. Is this wise? It's only in two titles to far and it seems it may be forbidden by the title blacklist (though maybe just because of sneaky vandalism or something not relevant here). Any comments? One thing that's peculiar is that the character hooks the wrong way in the text editor window: it looks kind of like a curved apostrophe, bending the opposite way to how it appears when rendered. I can see this when I open Ali Mahmud in the edit window. Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 03:53, 26 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Impressive! Any thought to what you might do next? I began on Turkey but gave up on it. I'd say China or Russia needs the most work. ♦ Dr. Blofeld20:31, 7 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Shahi Island, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Dehestan (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.

I answered you again. (I don't think you're produce even 1 media article about your strawman example of "beekeeping footballers", while "female protagonists in games" is a hot subject discussed by many.) --Niemti (talk) 09:55, 6 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

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. —Largo Plazo (talk) 21:20, 8 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I concur that you are doing a great job on the Iranian locations. I did some further work on Sarnaq. I notice that several of them have Farsi interwikis, perhaps it's possible to add the interwikis to the script? --Soman (talk) 00:46, 18 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I don't see how the other user's edits are vandalism and how your edit's are constructive. The 3 items you deleted do actually exist and have many sources for them. There can be a large Wikipedia article for any one of them just someone needs to work on them.
Your actions to protect the page Zahran indefinitely is unjustified and you have not attempted to discuss your edits. I request that you unprotect this page so that constructive edits can be made. A request to unprotect this page will be submitted to Wikipedia within 24 hours.

Nice work with the Iranian geography articles. Always nice to get census-data-based info on non-English-speaking countries, helps offset the anglo tendencies here. Agamemnon2 (talk) 22:01, 29 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You haven't had one of these in weeks, and during those weeks I kept running into your work. A little-bitty barnstar hardly does justice to your contributions, nor does my individual appreciation. Please keep up the good work. Drmies (talk) 03:22, 15 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You seem to have added a self-referential (and infinite) redirect. Copy/paste error? (i.e. copy failed so paste was using the content from the prior paste?) Anyway, please fix, thanks :) P.S. I find it odd that your 2nd most edited wiki (fawiki) is a lang that's not listed in your babel? --Jeremyb (talk) 03:06, 24 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
A tag has been placed on Mardekheh-ye Bozorg, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a redirect to a nonexistent page, or a redirect loop.
If you can fix this redirect to point to an existing Wikipedia page, please do so and remove the speedy deletion tag. However, please do not remove the speedy deletion tag unless you also fix the redirect. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

Tongva villages
Hey compa,
I'm dropping a message here because I see that you made several (if not all) of the articles in the Category:Tongva populated places. It looks like the information was culled from the USGS geographical names, but none of these articles contain much information at all, and there are no articles for places that I would think would be in this category, such as Yangna (now LA) and Wapijangna, near where I live. Would you happen to have any idea about where to find more information about these USGS-designated places, or any idea why some of these other villages are/were not included? Thanks, Rockero (talk) 23:10, 29 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
