Hey, I saw you nominated AXiomatic for deletion. It seems like it was PRODded prior to your AFD nomination. In this edit, did you mean to remove the PROD? I wasn't sure if you were replacing the PROD with an AFD, or if you meant for the PROD to remain. In any event, this stray text is now showing up at the top of the article: "db-spam|help=off". Thanks. Safehaven86 (talk) 15:52, 5 October 2016 (UTC)
This is being sent to you because you are listed as an emeritus member of MedCom and an examination of your contribution page suggests that you are still active at en-Wikipedia. MedCom is currently down to three or four active members (there are more than that on the active member list, but some of them have not edited Wikipedia in quite awhile). We have a current case awaiting a mediator which is receiving no response from the request for a mediator sent on the MedCom mailing list a couple of days ago, Wikipedia:Requests for mediation/Expulsion of Cham Albanians. Would you please consider reactivating your membership, taking that case, or both? If you're interested in doing so and are not still on the MedCom mailing list, please just let me know and I'll reactivate you and add you to the list.

The fact that you accidentally moved Pike (potato) twice to Pike potato and the latter page has previously been moved to the former by JHCaufield has caused a mess in the history of the title without parentheses. To fix this, you should split out all of the redirect revisions (494354966, 527356121, 744106718, and 744106767) to the title with parentheses.

Thank you for the amount of work that you put into the histmerges. I know that it can be difficult to be the only one (currently) that is performing the histmerges. You are making a huge difference in improving Wikipedia and I highly appreciate the work that you have done so far. Keep up the good work and hopefully other people will join you in tackling the histmerges. MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 21:48, 14 October 2016 (UTC) |
Ferd (disambiguation) was redirected to Ferd. But some history merging is needed. The dab page was created in 2015 but currently it gives off the impression it was created yesterday. WikiOriginal-9 (talk) 18:46, 17 October 2016 (UTC)
Anthony, sorry to drop this on you unannounced, but I remember you from the old days and I see that you're a regular at requests for history merges. I recently closed a big 'ol AFD discussion that resulted in a consensus to redirect Iron Lady to Margaret Thatcher. There is also a disambig page called Iron Lady (disambiguation), which wasn't affected by the AFD. I've been asked to make a history merge to move the conversation from Talk:Iron Lady (which casual users are unlikely to find now, due to the redirect) to Talk:Iron Lady (disambiguation).
My plan is to do the following:
Would that be a reasonable way to do this? Please correct me if I'm wrong -- it's been years since I've done a history merge. Many thanks in advance for your help. A Traintalk 15:59, 18 October 2016 (UTC)
Hello. Thanks for doing this move that I requested. Any thoughts on why it wouldn't let me do it myself? I thought that if there was a redirect that had no edit history, other than the creation of the redirect itself, it would let me move an article to that name. — Mudwater (Talk) 23:33, 18 October 2016 (UTC)

Anthony, may I ask about the mediation's current status and what the planned steps ahead, are? Im fully aware that a mediation may take weeks or months to complete and that the mediation procedures may require a lot of time and patience and only a Mediator himself may end it. However may I ask where we are at the Mediation, if it is nearing to an end, and/or if I can secede from Wikipedia and take a small break from all this mess? Being involved in a dispute for months, for over half an year almost, with a stubborn editor such as DWB, has really tired me again. This is unfortunate because I could have preferred that I move to other articles and improve pages that really could need our attention instead of consuming whole months of my Wikipedic life to deal with such kind of disruptions. If there is more to the mediation, let me know and I will try be there. -- SILENTRESIDENT 12:17, 21 October 2016 (UTC)

This morning I got an email saying that my user page "has been changed on 22 October 2016 by Hiatus95". I went to see what had been changed, but the page was deleted! Apparently you had deleted it for "Blatant misuse of Wikipedia as a web host", which I don't believe describes what I had on my user page.
I see that Hiatus95 is now marked as blocked (Vandalism-only account: clearly WP:NOTTHERE), so I suspect that Hiatus95 vandalized my user page, and then you deleted the entire page rather than just the vandalism edit, perhaps unaware that it had been recently vandalized.
Can my user page please be restored to its former state? Thanks. Xenomachina (talk) 17:28, 23 October 2016 (UTC)

Not sure how it has been speedily deleted, with no discussion, despite my comment, while was in the process of adding notable sources, including the top newspapers in Israel.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the ((proposed deletion/dated))

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing ((proposed deletion/dated))

Hi, Full disclosure there is a COI with me and this page I had gone for vacation that is why I am asking about it now I just came today. You had deleted the page SRIT India Pvt.Ltd [3] recently and I believe it met the notability criteria.The page had out of date information and I requested an update for it on the talk page with the required citations which were missing on the live article. Because of the COI I did not directly edit the article I had only requested for changes on the talk page. Can you please have another look at it or email me a copy of this page as i was in the process of cleaning it up and it did not occur to me to keep a copy of the original article I only have a copy of my planned edits if its not to much trouble.I would like to request the article again but with the required citations to show the notability.--Tarun.joseph (talk) 05:15, 2 November 2016 (UTC)

Hi! You recently deleted Maheshinte Prathikaaram: Original Score as WP:CSD#G7. The article was at Afd at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Maheshinte Prathikaaram: Original Score which @MBisanz: closed later as delete. Being the nominator of the AfD, I do not object to the eventual deletion of the article; be it as a result of AfD or maybe creator's own request. But the deletion summary for G7 here says that "If you wish to retrieve it, please see WP:REFUND" and linking to REFUND gives an impression that the article was "uncontroversially deleted". Years later, if someone were to request an undeletion, given the current summary, it would be restored easily disregarding the AfD consensus.
Am not sure if anything can be done now to alter the edit summary, but just wanted to highlight this to you. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 12:20, 9 November 2016 (UTC)

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Arbaaz Khan (actor), requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate, such as at articles for deletion. Under the specified criteria, where a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after debate, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.
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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Rk9223 (talk) 20:30, 10 November 2016 (UTC)
Hello Anthony Appleyard,
I noticed that you speedy deleted the Global Warning Tour page I created last Sunday and was still working on. This was done without warning, which is very disappointing (sorry, I'm very busy IRL and don't live on WP, so if someone tagged it I never saw it; certainly no one ever informed me). The reason given was "G4: Recreation of a page that was deleted per a deletion discussion". Well for starters this page had never been deleted before as it gave me no warning when I went to create it. However after hunting around I found a page/s on the same topic that had been deleted. I don't know what previous versions of the page contained and AFAIK I never contributed to it/them. Obviously I can't view them as they've been deleted, but strictly speaking I was creating this page from scratch, not recreating an existing deleted page as I didn't know such page/s existed. Okay, I'm not here to split hairs, but neither can I confirm or deny whether the previous page was referenced to the extent the new one was (with more to come) or to what standard it was written.
Apparently the previous deletion debate centred on WP:Notability and in particular whether or not this event had been a pay-per-view. IMO this is a triviality and was really not a consideration for me. Was this event notable? Well there's ample reasons to suggest it was. This was the single biggest pro-wrestling event ever held in Australia or anywhere in the southern hemisphere for starters, and not by a little bit, but by a lot. The argument should probably end there. The attendance was about four-times that of a typical pay-per-view crowd (which apparently are notable going on the deletion debate). It was recorded and released worldwide on DVD which WWE only do for what they consider major events. I could go on.
I don't know what the 'accepted' criteria on the notability for these types of events are, and frankly I don't really care as I believe a simple application of WP:IAR is more logical – if people are still coming to Wikipedia fourteen years after the event to find information on it (as I did, which is how I found out the article was missing) then that would suggest it's notable. The arguments to justify its continual deletion appear to amount to wikilawyering around the notability guidelines. So you could probably call me an inclusionist; for mine if someone wants to write a decent article on something that interests them, then as long as it's not complete nonsense I see little reason not to keep it. You're probably a deletionist. Perhaps you also subscribe to the view that if it didn't happen in the USA it's less important and less notable and has less right to be on Wikipedia; many do. Again I would disagree. And with over five million articles on WP, I would hazard a guess that's there's less notable things than this being covered. 16:36, 12 November 2016 User:Jjron
So what to do. Evidently some people on here have an idée fixe about keeping this article off WP. Why I don't know, but to find and delete it between when I created it and when I came back four days later indicates a definite obsessiveness. And it was interesting to note for example that someone cowardly resorted to using an anonymous IP address to undo my edits to the Global Warning redirect page (and possibly others), for example see here. Evidently someone's trying to cover their tracks.
Anyway, I really just wanted to point out that I disagree with your speedy deletion of this article and the rationale behind it. I'm rather peeved that I spent about six hours working on the article only to have it immediately deleted without so much as a word of warning (I don't even have a copy of the code). Perhaps when going on a deletion campaign in future it's worth considering the time and efforts of the editors that have gone into the article and consider whether the deletion is actually warranted. In summary, as a ten-year plus veteran of Wikipedia I've seen some nasty stuff, but this is about as shabby treatment as I've received as an editor. Thanks. --jjron (talk) 16:36, 12 November 2016 (UTC)

Hi Anthony Appleyard/2016.
A new user group, New Page Reviewer, has been created in a move to greatly improve the standard of new page patrolling. The user right can be granted by any admin at PERM. It is highly recommended that admins look beyond the simple numerical threshold and satisfy themselves that the candidates have the required skills of communication and an advanced knowledge of notability and deletion. Admins are automatically included in this user right.
It is anticipated that this user right will significantly reduce the work load of admins who patrol the performance of the patrollers. However,due to the complexity of the rollout, some rights may have been accorded that may later need to be withdrawn, so some help will still be needed to some extent when discovering wrongly applied deletion tags or inappropriate pages that escape the attention of less experienced reviewers, and above all, hasty and bitey tagging for maintenance. User warnings are available here but very often a friendly custom message works best.
If you have any questions about this user right, don't hesitate to join us at WT:NPR. (Sent to all admins).MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:46, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

Hi Anthony Appleyard,
I need to get the page Death in islam deleted to make way for move. Currently, this serves as a redirect page to Islamic funeral. (Notice the misspelling islam).
I've created the article Islamic view of death, and I like to move it to Death in Islam for better title. The title 'Death in islam' should not be a proper redirect for 'Islamic funeral' as these are two different things. Also, this page contains misspelled title. Please delete it. -AsceticRosé 15:17, 20 November 2016 (UTC)

Hi Anthony, I was just wanting to gauge your opinion as an administrator who performs quite a number of moves and histmerges, what can be done about users who move pages out of their sandbox or deliberately create content in a namespace they are aware is incorrect (such as capitalising "S" in song when disambiguating an article with "([artist] song)"), then requesting that the page be moved to the correct namespace that another user had already created as a redirect? These users are deliberately doing this because they know that their original history will be maintained as the "creator" of the article, and the creator of the redirect erased. This isn't about a particular user, I've seen it happen multiple times now and these kinds of users know what they're doing but continue to do it. Perhaps it is a simple task to delete the desired namespace to perform a requested move, but by doing this, these users are setting out to create tasks for admins to do because they refuse to let another user take credit for originating the correct namespace.

Thank you for sorting out the histmerge on List of Eurovision Song Contest winning songwriters. I have contacted the user who did the cut/paste move from my sandbox, and they have admitted to doing it, because they could not wait any longer for the work to become a new article. I've tried to explain that what they did was wrong, but I'm now being accused of having some "ego", and that what they did was "justified". Any chance of some admin intervention and explaining to them why doing cut/paste moves from another user's sandbox is unacceptable. I would appreciate it dearly.

An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Dreamfall. Since you had some involvement with the Dreamfall redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion if you have not already done so. Si Trew (talk) 07:56, 10 December 2016 (UTC)
Hi, Anthony,
Could you please unprotect shovel? I really don't think indefinite semi-protection is really necessary when there are now other protection options. Best, Mark Schierbecker (talk) 02:15, 12 December 2016 (UTC)
Hi, I noticed you performed a history merge for the article Danpyunsun and the Sailors at the end of October. However, all the contributions after April 18, 2016 17:15 UTC were left deleted (55 edits, about ~1.5k bytes of text). Was that the intent, or was the history supposed to be restored? — ξxplicit 06:57, 12 December 2016 (UTC)
I disagree with User:Justlettersandnumbers using this mechanism to revert the title change for an article which I had originally titled, after I provided evidence of use of such a title in English, specifically that this was the convention used for every single abbey from the United States in Wikipedia (none of those entries were edited at all by me) or for all the abbeys in Germany, which is the country with the largest number of Benedictine Abbey entries in English Wikipedia. In addition, this is the convention used for some of the more prominent abbeys in Italy: Farfa Abbey, Bobbio Abbey, etc. Even After providing this evidence, I was reverted by the User above. He now states he wants to discuss this.
While the "literal translation" of Abbazia of Santa Maria to English might be Abbey of Santa Maria, the problem is that the reciprocal: Santa Maria abbey does not grammatically exist in Italian. Ultimately we need to address what is the most appropriate way to translate in an English encyclopedia, what is or would be common usage. The term Abbey of Santa Maria... is used by one tourism agency likely using an automatic translating system such as Google translater. This should not be the standard for nomenclature in Wikipedia.
Question: 1) Should we revert to reflect the original author's intent (me) and start a discussion? I find your reversion appears to be attempt by the other author to have someone else do his editing, despite the controversy. Instead, after my commentary and evidence on his talk page, he should have started a discussion, rather than have you change it. 2) Anyway, we are at this juncture now. Where do you suggest starting this discussion? I was hoping this would be non-controversial given the convention.Rococo1700 (talk) 18:54, 14 December 2016 (UTC)
Hi, can you please point out what needs to change to remove 'advertising or promotion'- I'll make those changes. This company has recently been named in Deloitte Fast 50 and NASSCOM Emerge 50.

Wishing you and yours a Happy Holiday Season, and all best wishes for the New Year! Adoration of the Kings (Gerard David, London) is my Wiki-Christmas card to all for this year. Johnbod (talk) 10:26, 22 December 2015 (UTC) |
Hi. Would you consider unprotecting Pheromone? Since you protected it six years ago, the vandals may have gone away. Besides, there was someone who wanted to build up the article recently and had to make a lengthy edit request on the talk page. There have also been cases of edit requests to add information in the past being ignored/missed. Thanks, MediaKill13 (talk) 10:12, 20 December 2016 (UTC)
