Dungan Revolt (1862–77)

Dungan Revolt (1862–77) also needs semi protection. IP addresses are making NPOV edits on religion and making up facts.Rajmaan (talk) 17:43, 10 April 2016 (UTC)

Southend Africa

For me this sounds strange, is it really a often used term?--Stone (talk) 13:09, 15 April 2016 (UTC)

@Stone: My guess is it's a typo and should be "Southern". Without knowing the context I may be wrong.  Philg88 ^♦talk 16:15, 15 April 2016 (UTC)

Your edit in the Antimony article from today.--Stone (talk) 17:31, 15 April 2016 (UTC)

@Stone: Weird. All I can think is that as the edit was done on a tablet, the predictive text input picked up a rogue touch and changed "south" to "southend". Anyway, fixed now, thanks for spotting it.  Philg88 ^♦talk 04:56, 16 April 2016 (UTC)

contributor with a severe civility problem keeps editing the same article with obscenities in edit summary

Not designated as a terrorist organization by the US or EY or Kazakh or Uzbek. Uyghuristan is under occupation by ecscreta-born han monkeys. If they have still managed to get them designated them as terrorists adeq refs should be provided.

Rm unreferenced Ecscreta-born fugly han monkeys call Uyghur freedom-fighters "terrorists" they can shove that down their han monkey-mommas' Only diff is that in Occupied-Tibet they self-immolate whilst Uyghurs know to treat ecscreta-sucking han occupiers.

EU does not designate the ETIM as terrorists. Nor does the US. AND listing Afghanistan/Iran or even pukeistan is senseless. han/chinese scum think lashkar-e-taiba and other such terrorist-pigs in pukeistan are not terrorists and keep blocking India's moves. And here you add countries who do not care even of the Uyghurs wiped out the han/chinese monkeys. You added a ref about something in Syria as a ref for that Afghanistan/Iran and others are opponents of the ETIM which is BS. They do NOT even mention ETIM or Uyghurs or anything alluding to them. The ref HAS to contain some info directly or even indirectly stating the same. DO NOT ADD that again, for any Admin once he were to see that, would have enough reason to block you if repeated. That is dishonesty of the lowest kind (certainly comes with han/chinese DNA but this is WIKIPEDIA.

Further, and this comes form an INDIAN rather than a Wikipedian, han/chinese scum should better FORGET the so-called cpec. Balcohs will decide who their oil and gas is sold to. nawaz sharif and pukeistan and han/chinese scum had egg on their faces when sharif was making a speech last month in NY and a Baloch activist shouted that pukeis and han/chinese should get lost from Balochistan. Still no shame! Anyway Balochs will again be independent pretty soon. The cpec goes over INDIAN territory in POK and into the country of BALOCHISTAN. AND both Balochs and Indians consider the pukeis and the hans/chinese as fecal matter that is to be flushed out. After the way in which han/chinese have shielded pukeistani terrorists they dream of stealing the oil and gas of the Balochs and using Indian territory that too! However it is not like stealing Tibetans' and Uyghurs' and Mongols' lands. Not only that NEVER AGAIN will han/chines steal, they stand to lose everything they have stolen till date from the others - Tibet/Uyghuristan/Inner-Mngolia.

Removed some unreferenced claims. The Uyghur freedom-fighters are the han/chinese monkey's problem. Many countries appearing here as "opponents" is just BS.

@Rajmaan: I'll keep an eye on whether this continues but it's better to report such things at the incident noticeboard. Best,  Philg88 ^♦talk 06:59, 19 April 2016 (UTC)

Island mess

Dear Phil. Please help. I need your brain.

I started Nanhai Pearl Artificial Island based on this which has a clear photo of what I will call "peanut island". It is located here just off Evergreen Park. It doesn't show on that old FlashEarth map, but http://ditu.baidu.com/ has it. There is also this source that shows a peanut-shaped island.

Now, there is a second island under construction off Holiday Beach. It is listed at the bottom of List of islands of Hainan as "Unidentified artificial island". It is approximately here. I went there yesterday and the engineer man at the foot of the new bridge there said it is called "Nanhai Pearl Artificial Island". I could see a huge HNA sign on the island itself.

Unhelpful are two other refs I added to the peanut article: [1] and [2]. They show a round island and the coords they cite are completely wrong. Also, peanut island construction has been abandoned since the typhoon a couple of years back so there is nobody to ask there.

Would you please consider doing a bit of clicking and reading to shed some light? I am mystified.

See also:

• [3]
• [4]

So, again, the complications: Two sources with wrong coords and two sources (one of which is a govt source) with wrong photos. Geez louise.

The best plan I can think of for now would be to usurp the article to make it become about the big, round HNA island, and keep the current content on my computer till I find the right name and a home for it back at Wikipedia.

Many many thanks for any help you can offer. A good choice would be to say, no thanks to this one. :) Anna Frodesiak (talk) 07:12, 20 April 2016 (UTC)

Hey my friend, long time no hear! After clicking around a bit I can't make sense of it either but that doesn't surprise me - as I recall the government claimed Phoenix Island off Sanya was complete when it was nothing more than a blob of sand (it's a territorial thing ). I'd go with your suggestion of "migrating" the article to the big, round HNA island. Not much help really, but perhaps better than a "no". Best,  Philg88 ^♦talk 05:30, 21 April 2016 (UTC)

Thank you so much, Phil. I'll take your advice. :) Anna Frodesiak (talk) 02:34, 22 April 2016 (UTC)

BRA Braathens Regional Airlines

Hi,

I noticed you renamed the Braathens Regional article into BRA Braathens Regional Airlines. I am afraid this is not correct. When Malmö Aviation and Sverigeflyg combined their networks on 29 February 2016 to form BRA Braathens Regional Airlines the following happened:

- The brand Sverigeflyg, which was just a virtual airline without any aircraft of its own, ceased to exist - A new virtual airline, BRA Braathens Regional Airlines, was created, again with no owned aircraft - Malmö Aviation was renamed Braathens Regional Aviation, ceasing its own network and now flying ACMI for BRA Braathens Regional Airlines - Braathens Regional, the ACMI provider for Sverigeflyg, was renamed Braathens Regional Airways.

So on that day this line-up:

- Sverigeflyg - Malmö Aviation - Braathens Regional

became:

- BRA Braathens Regional Airlines (not the succesor of Sverigeflyg) - Braathens Regional Aviation - Braathens Regional Airways

Hence your transformation of the original Braathens Regional article to BRA Braathens Regional Airlines is not correct. Instead it should have been renamed Braathens Regional Airways with much of the information staying the same. Then a new article for BRA Braathens Regional Airlines needs to be created. I have already transformed the Malmö Aviation article into Braathens Regional Aviation.

Confusing I know, but I hope I explained it well enough.

Best regards,

Max — Preceding unsigned comment added by MaxG.P.Hol (talk • contribs) 08:57, 26 April 2016 (UTC)

@MaxG.P.Hol: Hi there Max. This was an uncontroversial technical request made at WP:RMT (diff here) by 46.244.138.166 so I suggest you discuss it with them. Cheers,  Philg88 ^♦talk 17:30, 26 April 2016 (UTC)

A Street Car named Desire

Hi Phil, first of all thanks for closing the discussion at Talk:A_Streetcar_Named_Desire_(play)#Requested_move_18_April_2016 and performing the move, but I think there may be some unfinished buisness. You moved A Streetcar Named Desire and its talk page to A Streetcar Named Desire (disambiguation), and you subsequently moved A Streetcar Named Desire (play) to A Streetcar Named Desire per consensus. However, the talk page for A Streetcar Named Desire (play) is still at Talk:A Streetcar Named Desire (play) and probably should be moved to Talk:A Streetcar Named Desire. Is this an oversight or is there some reason for not moving the talk page as well? Betty Logan (talk) 09:31, 1 May 2016 (UTC)

Hi Betty and thanks for the message. Talk pages aren't automatically moved as part of the RMT process if the target exists, and sometimes I forget to do it manually. In this case someone else already spotted the issue and has moved the talk page to the correct location. Best,  Philg88 ^♦talk 04:55, 2 May 2016 (UTC)

Copy edit request

Hi, it's been a while since I had to make a c/e requests from you, hope it's ok. This one is a bit odd since it's not for an article that I started. The article is Sydney punchbowls. I first came in contact with it while I was working on my SOIC stuff, later I learned that it is now a GAN. Now, the editor who nominated it have not done any edits on it and the original writer has only made this one article and hasn't been active here in a while but is apparently willing to assist with facts. The article is sort of next in line at the GAN and since a review can happen at any time now I got in touch with the GAN nominator and fixed up the article as much as I could. Since the whole nomination is a bit unusual, it would be great to smooth out as much as possible for an easier review. Most of the article is written by an Australian librarian so not so much a problem with the language as with proper encyclopedic style and so on. Do you think you could lend us a hand and do a c/e for the article? Cheers, w.carter-Talk 19:16, 9 May 2016 (UTC)

 Done, although frankly there wasn't much to do as the article looks to be in pretty good shape already. Cheers,  Philg88 ^♦talk 04:42, 10 May 2016 (UTC)

Thank you very much! Good to hear that the article was sort of ok, but it's always best to have an expert taking a look at it before the whole thing begins. w.carter-Talk 08:30, 10 May 2016 (UTC)

Tech moves

Hey thanks a ton for those moves. I know it's tedious as hell, and there are so many funner things you could be doing. Sadly, we're far from done, and the plan is to slow down a bit to avoid becoming a nuisance (the issue is politically charged). Might as well keep the subheading even when it's empty, so we don't have to remember to re-add it when we're ready for more. I'd call it "WP:JR moves" rather than "Jr/Sr moves". ―Mandruss ☎ 06:07, 10 May 2016 (UTC)

You're welcome Mandruss, it must have been pretty tedious putting the list together in the first place! I did them all in one go as otherwise there's a danger that one or two will be missed if it's done on an ad hoc basis. I'm aware of the two sides in the jr/sr comma argument but it seems that there is now a consensus based guideline, which is good. Posting fewer requests in one go would also be good. Cheers,  Philg88 ^♦talk 10:29, 10 May 2016 (UTC)

@Philg88, Mandruss, and Dicklyon: Wouldn't it be a better idea to mass delete the redirects with titles of the form Name, Jr. to make way for the moves? The mass deletion can be easily accomplished with the use of Twinkle's batch delete module. After that, any registered user would be able to perform the moves. 103.6.159.85 (talk) 08:20, 11 May 2016 (UTC)
