Your page moves

Can you not make page moves like you did here. Taking the Hangul of '이달의 소녀', running it through Google Translate, and moving the page based on how it romanizes it is beyond ridiculous. There is simply no justification for such an ill-advised move. You have a long history of making terrible decisions when it comes to page moves and I've often had to revert many that have popped up on my watchlist. — ξ 00:21, 4 January 2017 (UTC)

We all get some things wrong but the problem is there are no English sources for this new music project yet. As per the comment on Talk page. But okay, point taken. In ictu oculi (talk) 08:59, 4 January 2017 (UTC)

Now that Ana Ivanović has retired, do you think it is more likely that a page move could be negotiated at some point? 110.142.225.47 (talk) 09:01, 6 January 2017 (UTC)

Please comment on Talk:Rather Be

Hello In ictu oculi. I pinged you twice, but you did not respond; would you be so kind as to comment on said move discussion? Many thanks and warm regards.--Nevé–selbert 19:01, 7 January 2017 (UTC)

At Christmas (James Taylor album)

Did you discuss this move somewhere? The actual title is James Taylor at Christmas, so I am curious what prompted this.Kellymoat (talk) 12:09, 20 January 2017 (UTC)

Epitaphium

When you move a page next time, can you do it when I'm less tired? I fixed the links in article space, but many more are now wrong, going to a dab. I'd help but can't keep my eyes open ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 23:41, 21 January 2017 (UTC)

I was intending to fix the links myself Gerda. It's often best to leave a few hours to allow templates to adjust. Cheers. In ictu oculi (talk) 09:36, 22 January 2017 (UTC)

Learning: which templates? A misleading link in an article is a misleading link the first minute. Nothing wrong with your move, besides the timing. I was already sooo tired, after adding the last pieces, to FP (Poulenc), to be polished. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:07, 22 January 2017 (UTC)

It seems to affect mainly bottom of page infoboxes. The "what links here" function continues to show any page with the infobox as linking even if the infobox has been corrected for a time ranging from minutes to hours afterwards. I don't understand why this is the case, but for some reason the infoboxes seem to have some "ghost" input into the What links here function which the system doesn't correct in real time. Odd but real. In ictu oculi (talk) 17:47, 22 January 2017 (UTC)

Now I understand, you mean you let it sit to tell which links are just from the navbox template. - Graham Waterhouse, - that was my first article, did you know? I wanted to fill a red link, and it was promptly deleted ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:01, 22 January 2017 (UTC)

Yes. As I say I can't explain why there's a delay but there is. I didn't know that was your first article. I guess you've performed his pieces? I confess my ignorance, I only knew the Stravinsky. In ictu oculi (talk) 20:03, 22 January 2017 (UTC)

I'm a singer and hobby piano player, and only performed some of his choral pieces and the easier ones of his piano works. I wish I could have been in Wigmore Hall when the siblings played Epitaphium, with a quote from the War Requiem, because their father had been the bassoonist in the chamber ensemble in the premiere. I would also have loved to hear 16 bassoonists + contrabassoon from all over the world play the father's arrangement of a Gabrieli piece in that memorial concert. But London was to far away then. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:16, 22 January 2017 (UTC)

'Genesis creation narrative'-->'Genesis creation story''Genesis_creation_story'-2017-01-27T02:03:00.000Z">

I am considering creating a move request next month when the moratorium is up over at Genesis creation narrative. I have drafted a proposal, and due to your extensive involvement in RM in general, I was wondering if you could look it over and point out any deficiencies in reasoning, or additional avenues I should consider. I realise that this could possibly be construed as canvassing, but that is not my intention. Rather, I think that with a highly polarised proposal like this, it is very important to get the initial proposal as perfect as possible. I might also ask a few other people about their opinions.  InsertCleverPhraseHere  02:03, 27 January 2017 (UTC)'Genesis_creation_story'"> 'Genesis_creation_story'">

Speedy deletion nomination of Aura D'Angelo

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Aura D'Angelo requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a band or musician, but it does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

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 Misplaced Pages'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. DrStrauss talk 11:54, 1 February 2017 (UTC)

New Page Review - newsletter No.2

A HUGE backlog

We now have 810 New Page Reviewers!
Most of us requested the user right at PERM, expressing a wish to be able to do something about the huge backlog, but the chart on the right does not demonstrate any changes to the pre-user-right levels of October.

The backlog is still steadily growing at a rate of 150 a day or 4,650 a month. Only 20 reviews a day by each reviewer over the next few days would bring the backlog down to a managable level and the daily input can then be processed by each reviewer doing only 2 or 3 reviews a day - that's about 5 minutes work!
It didn't work in time to relax for the Xmas/New Year holidays. Let's see if we can achieve our goal before Easter, otherwise by Thanksgiving it will be closer to 70,000.

Second set of eyes

Remember that we are the only guardians of quality of new articles, we alone have to ensure that pages are being correctly tagged by non-Reviewer patrollers and that new authors are not being bitten.

Abuse

This is even more important and extra vigilance is required considering Orangemoody, and

1. this very recent case of paid advertising by a Reviewer resulting in a community ban.
2. this case in January of paid advertising by a Reviewer, also resulting in a community ban.
3. This Reviewer is indefinitely blocked for sockpuppetry.

Coordinator election

Kudpung is stepping down after 6 years as unofficial coordinator of New Page Patrolling/Reviewing. There is enough work for two people and two coords are now required. Details are at NPR Coordinators; nominate someone or nominate yourself. Date for the actual suffrage will be published later.

Translated page

Hi! Thanks for putting one of these on Aura D'Angelo. However, it isn't enough just to put the template there, you need to fill in the details. The full deal is: {{translated page|SourceLanguageCode|SourcePageTitle|version=123456789|insertversion=987654321|section=name}} (the "section" parameter is optional). It's pretty obvious, but if you need help with this, ping me either here or at the talk-page there.

So, the big question: have you translated other pages from other Wikipedias? If so, those too will need to be attributed in this way unless you left a detailed edit summary crediting the source (please see Misplaced Pages:Copying within Misplaced Pages#Translating from other language Wikimedia projects for explanation). I may be able to help with that too. Regards, Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 20:56, 5 February 2017 (UTC)

I didn't translate that one, would have to think if ever have done. But thanks for the info. In ictu oculi (talk) 21:06, 5 February 2017 (UTC)

Requested move: Using "El Chapo"

Hi, I wanted to reach out to you regarding a title change discussion in Joaquín Guzmán's talk page. You were involved in a previous change change there in 2015. I'd love to read your input. Thank you! ComputerJA (☎ • ✎) 15:31, 14 February 2017 (UTC)

Copying within Misplaced Pages requires proper attribution

Thank you for your contributions to Misplaced Pages. It appears that you copied or moved text from Bolero into Bolero (Spanish dance). While you are welcome to re-use Misplaced Pages's content, here or elsewhere, Misplaced Pages's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Misplaced Pages, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from ]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Misplaced Pages:Copying within Misplaced Pages. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was moved, attribution is not required. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 23:35, 15 February 2017 (UTC)

Okay, noted but I clearly stated that I moved the 3 sentences on the Talk page per WP:FORK I would have thought that this would do better than a template. In ictu oculi (talk) 08:44, 16 February 2017 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Mirrors and forks is not the correct guidance for this. That guidance is what to do if another page on a different site has copied text from Wikiepdia. This is needed so that other editors will know that the text originated on Wikiepdia and was not copied from an external source (See also WP:BACKWARDSCOPY). For examples see Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Backwards copy.

Sergio Leo

Hi, I noticed you were responsible for changing the subject Sergio Leo to Sérgio Léo. Could you please undone this change, since the real name of the person does nor have those grammatical accents?

Capitalization

I beg your pardon. I have seen that you have had an influence on the page Capitalization in English. Therefore, you probably would know the answer to this question better than I would. (There was some confusion on the page Mid-Atlantic accent. Are names of accents capitalized? Thank you.LakeKayak (talk) 21:37, 23 February 2017 (UTC)

Should be "a mid-Atlantic accent" no capitalization of M. In ictu oculi (talk) 07:22, 24 February 2017 (UTC)

City Without Jews move

Hello, I was curious - I saw you moved The City Without Jews without an explanation. It still redirects to the film article, so... mind if I move it back? If there isn't another topic by that name, there's no need for the disambiguator... SnowFire (talk) 20:47, 10 April 2017 (UTC)

Well there is another topic, the book the film is based on. In ictu oculi (talk) 08:46, 20 April 2017 (UTC)

Ah, fair enough! (I wasn't the one who moved it back, FWIW.) If you can write an article on the novel, that'd be super-cool, although it looks like de doesn't have a fresh one ready for translation... at least not linked on de:Hugo Bettauer. (Oddly enough, Berlin Without Jews, a later novel, did seem to have some English sources & a German wikipedia article when I created that article - dunno why that novel people remembered, but not the earlier one.)

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

The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Misplaced Pages:General notability guideline and the more detailed Misplaced Pages:Notability (companies) requirement. If you disagree and deprod this, please explain how it meets them on the talk page here in the form of "This article meets criteria A and B because..." and ping me back through WP:ECHO or by leaving a note at User talk:Piotrus. Thank you.

While all constructive contributions to Misplaced Pages 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. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 07:47, 18 April 2017 (UTC)

Glad that was withdrawn. It's probably more locally notable in Poland but still, many awards. In ictu oculi (talk) 08:46, 20 April 2017 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for April 21

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Bible Collection, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Mary Magdalene (film) (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.

Metahistory

I think White's book is clearly the primary topic for the search term "Metahistory" - regardless of whether the term has been employed before. IF you want Metahistory to redirect to historiography then I will have to place a hatnote on historiography to note that "metahistory redirects here, for the book by Hayden White see Metahistory (Hayden White)" and that may be a little excessive. So if you insist that the article about White's work should be located at a disambiguation title then I think we will need a disambiguation page and not a redirect.·maunus · snunɐɯ· 11:09, 26 April 2017 (UTC)

I have taken the liberty of moving the article about the book to the full title of the book and creating a disambiguation page at Metahistory.·maunus · snunɐɯ· 11:14, 26 April 2017 (UTC)

(edit conflict)

But in fact many of the incoming links were not for the book, other than the author article itself. Most of the other links were mislinking. However I will place it back and start a move discussion. Cheers. In ictu oculi (talk) 11:16, 26 April 2017 (UTC)

I found one incoming link that resolved to the book and a couple of indeterminate ones.·maunus · snunɐɯ· 11:25, 26 April 2017 (UTC)

I've been fixing them. There are links to the book in See also sections. But Metahistory isn't a book, it's a part of the full title of a book which we have abbreviated. The dab page is a good idea, that will pick up future mislinks. In ictu oculi (talk) 11:26, 26 April 2017 (UTC)

I wonder if there are sources to write an article about the concept Metahistory that could include White's usage as well as others without having to resort to OR. Who has written about the history of Metahistory?·maunus · snunɐɯ· 11:30, 26 April 2017 (UTC)

The incoming links from articles such as the The French Lieutenant's Woman seem generic mentions covered by historiography, though there is the article Metanarrative (not the same thing). In ictu oculi (talk) 11:33, 26 April 2017 (UTC)

R.P.M. (song) listed at Redirects for discussion

An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect R.P.M. (song). Since you had some involvement with the R.P.M. (song) redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion if you have not already done so. JMHamo (talk) 21:34, 30 April 2017 (UTC)

Your "informal collaborator" move

Why did you move Informal collaborator to Informal collaborator (East Germany)? Korny O'Near (talk) 02:48, 2 May 2017 (UTC)

That's what he does and why I opened an ANI on him (see above). I reverted this umpteenth unexplained/undiscussed move. --В²C ☎ 05:14, 2 May 2017 (UTC)
