Lago de Guajataco move reverted

Your move of Lago de Guajataco has been reverted. You are welcome to join the existing discussion on that topic on the talk page, but you citing Wikidata is not a reason to rename the page. USGS is a WP:RS, Wikidata is not. Toddst1 (talk) 15:30, 25 September 2017 (UTC)

@Toddst1: - Please see the talk page of the article. You moved the page to an incorrect name, so I have moved it back while we can discuss it on the talk page. To be clear, Wikidata is not the "source" of the reason to move, it's simply an indicator that other people also had the idea that the English name should be the proper title. I've also given other justification, most importantly WP:COMMONNAME and results of searches. Thanks. -- Fuzheado | Talk 15:44, 25 September 2017 (UTC)

September 2017

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.

Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

  1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
  2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing.
WP:BRD only has 1 R. Toddst1 (talk) 15:41, 25 September 2017 (UTC)

It's not an edit war if I move things back from an errant title. I'm an admin and know how things work. Go to the talk page. Thanks. -- Fuzheado | Talk 15:44, 25 September 2017 (UTC)
Yes it is. WP:MOREX and WP:MYWAY are not a reason to edit war. Don't throw your "admin" title around here. You're subject to the same rules (more even) as the rest of us. I know how things work too. Toddst1 (talk) 16:03, 25 September 2017 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Guajataco-spelling-error-on-google.png

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Guajataco-spelling-error-on-google.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. -- Marchjuly (talk) 00:35, 26 September 2017 (UTC)

Regarding this, no, that response is not relevant to the article. In fact, very few responses are relevant in that article--consensus is that only those of people directly involved (legally, politically, or otherwise) should be included. Thank you, Drmies (talk) 00:34, 3 October 2017 (UTC)

Duplicate vote

Pretty sure this should be stricken and not removed, or the !vote sicken and the back and forth retained. GMGtalk 14:30, 4 October 2017 (UTC)

Check again to double check my conclusion - it's an errant paste/duplication, so striking is not the right thing to do. It's just correcting an error. -- Fuzheado | Talk 14:44, 4 October 2017 (UTC)
Ooooooh... GMGtalk 15:03, 4 October 2017 (UTC)

That close is frankly pathetic. 'No consensus because its 50/50'. I suggest you go read WP:Consensus and WP:Close. When you have one side making arguments based on actual WP policy, and the other based on 'other articles on this exist and we should wait and see' arguments do not have equal weight. Only in death does duty end (talk) 21:24, 4 October 2017 (UTC)

OID Whether we like it or not, there were substantive and inane comments on both sides, and something like this can't very well be disregarded as inane just because it doesn't cite WP:ALPHABETSOUP. I honestly don't see anyone closing as anything but no con unless this took a sudden and violent turn for one side out of the blue. It's all a cost benefit analysis, and I'm not sure that the benefit at this point warrants an AfD, much less a DRV. GMGtalk 21:51, 4 October 2017 (UTC)

I find it hard to wrap my head around why you think you can close this AfD, given your heavy involvement in the main Las Vegas Strip shooting article. This is ethically shaky, not to mention "snow close as no consensus" is not at all a viable o supportable criteria to be found at Wikipedia:Snowball clause. TheValeyard (talk) 21:12, 5 October 2017 (UTC)

I had no opinion or involvement in the splitting of the article and have no strong feelings either way. The calls for closing with no consensus were from multiple individuals as the stalemate and wasted labor was obvious. Given how many folks participated in the !vote, and how little complaint there has been, I'm comfortable with the decision to help folks get back to work. WP:5P5, WP:5P1, WP:HTBAE. We're all better off getting back to building an encyclopedia and not dwelling on a futile bureaucratic back-and-forth for the next seven days that would lead to the exact same result as it is now. -- Fuzheado | Talk 00:14, 6 October 2017 (UTC)

The article Billy McGee (sheriff) has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted after seven days unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp/dated}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. Boleyn (talk) 15:23, 5 November 2017 (UTC)

Wikidata weekly summary #285

Motive of Kelley

This simple reversion erased the information about the motive, which is not specified clearly anywhere else in the article. There is only one sentence that mentions angry texts were sent to mother-in-law, but fails to adequately identify that a fight with her motivated this rampage. Your reversion reduced the informativeness of the article, and obliterated the statements from the official government source. One of the PRIME pieces of information anyone could want to know about a crime is the MOTIVE of the criminal. And in this crime, false reports of anti-christian motive are rampant. It is vital to include a distinct section about motive that excludes this possibility as the instigating cause. If you do not wish to perform the work to include the relevant information on motive within this article yourself, I will shortly revert your reversion. ♠Ace Frahm♠talk 00:53, 8 November 2017 (UTC)

The article HODL has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

WP:DICTIONARY

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.
