Statistics on Coronavirus in Spain

Hi, I think the paragraph on the methodological issues of Spanish statistics needs more sources. It's a long paragraph that is based on a single source and it would definitively benefit from more sources for each part. I'll give it one more try. -- ChaTo (talk 22:40, 4 April 2020 (UTC)

I see there are more sources now. I've added a reference to the MoMo report as it is mentioned in the newspaper article but not linked from there, now article readers can find the reports we're referring to. -- ChaTo (talk) 09:19, 5 April 2020 (UTC)

I saw you edit regarding this, what's your opinion regarding the Second Vienna Award? Should there be also removed?(KIENGIR (talk) 20:16, 8 April 2020 (UTC))

Hi. Hope you are well in these difficult times. Sorry to bother you with a cheeky request.

RM close

Hi.

You closed this RM at 05:18, 18 April 2020 (UTC) but the move has not been performed.

Can I help? Noting of course that I'm involved.

Or am I missing something? Andrewa (talk) 16:32, 18 April 2020 (UTC)

• @Andrewa: Since my pagemove permission expired, I wasn't able to perform it myself and therefore listed at Misplaced Pages:Requested moves/Technical requests. Someone will get to it eventually. buidhe 19:53, 18 April 2020 (UTC)
  • Understood! Thank you. Andrewa (talk) 23:52, 18 April 2020 (UTC)
  • Done. Andrewa (talk) 09:07, 19 April 2020 (UTC)

Typo

Hi Buidhe. Earlier today, you filed a technical request to move the page International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems. While I certainly applaud this, you made a mistake while doing so: International Classification of Disease, singular. The correct name is International Classification of Diseases, plural. User:Minorax didn't notice the typo, and moved the page to the wrong name. But no worries! I've created a new technical request, so this will be fixed soon. I have also notified Minorax. Cheers, Manifestation (talk) 17:50, 18 April 2020 (UTC)

Template:Did you know nominations/Partisan Congress riots

Buidhe, did your edits last week address the sourcing issue request? If so, could you please post to the nomination so the reviewer is aware that they can continue with their review? Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 04:09, 19 April 2020 (UTC)

Page mover

I've granted you the extendedmover user group indefinitely. I came by to thank you for working through the big RM backlog and saw above that you ran into technical problems after your permission expired. Hopefully you find it useful! If not let any sysop know and it can be removed on your request. Again, thanks for your hard work with the RM backlog! — Wug·a·po·des​ 01:10, 21 April 2020 (UTC)

Move review

Hi Buidhe, in terms of WP:IMR, would you be willing to extend this move discussion out a week as relevant Wikiprojects are alerted? I didn't have mold on my watchlist, but found out about it because it affects other pages I do edit. I was pretty surprised to see it closed as support when it seemed like the proposer ironically established the fungus was the primary topic. The subject of mold and it's common name usage gets complicated and easily confused (e.g., mold vs. water mold), so it seems like a good case to treat as no consensus for this first week and encourage editors familiar with the subject (e.g., fungi/microbiology projects) to chime in. Otherwise, it looks like pretty weak turnout and some superficial comments that shouldn't be counted under WP:!VOTE to varying degrees. If it were an AfD, that's one I definitely would have relisted for more input. Thanks. Kingofaces43 (talk) 21:13, 21 April 2020 (UTC)

Another RM close

Hi

16:16, 22 April 2020 Buidhe talk contribs block moved page Talk:Santa Maria Maddalena (Castiglione d'Orcia) to Talk:Santa Maria Maddalena, Castiglione d'Orcia without leaving a redirect (RM closed as move)

Why was the redirect suppressed? Andrewa (talk) 16:40, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

• @Andrewa: In order to swap two pages without using G6 (which I can't do, I'm not an administrator), you have to move without leaving redirects. That is how WP:ROUNDROBIN works. buidhe 16:45, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
  • Then a redirect should have been created at Talk:Santa Maria Maddalena (Castiglione d'Orcia) as part of the cleanup, which I have now done. Otherwise for example WP:RM is left pointing to a discussion redlink. There are also five regular pages that were left pointing to a redlink. Andrewa (talk) 02:35, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

AfD

This is just a reminder that discussions need to be left open for at least 168 hours. Deletion discussions with little or no participation should often be closed as a soft delete rather than relisted, and multiple relists should be avoided whenever possible (especially by non-admins).

In fact, going through your recent contributions at AfD leads me to think that your talents would be better utilized by voting on AfD discussions rather than closing them. The backlog at AfD usually isn't a problem that requires help from non-admins, but we always need more people to analyze the articles and provide insightful !votes. If I could gently steer you in that direction I think it could be quite helpful. Cheers. – bradv🍁 17:34, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

Two more unnecessary relists:

• Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Fresno Crossing, California
• Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Conaway, California

Again, voting on discussions like these would be far more helpful. – bradv🍁 17:32, 27 April 2020 (UTC)

DYK for Aleksandras Lileikis

On 24 April 2020, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Aleksandras Lileikis, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status.

typo in RM close

A small typo by one voter was replicated by you in this close - Talk:Ingeyo ingan#Requested move 20 March 2020.

Hoping you can take the steps to correct this. -- Netoholic @ 07:21, 24 April 2020 (UTC)

• @Netoholic: I copied it directly from Snowfire's suggestion without noticing that there was a difference in spelling. Anyway, it's easy to fix. buidhe 07:24, 24 April 2020 (UTC)

  Yep, I didn't notice his typo either until I reviews the closed RM discussion and saw the redlinks still present. -- Netoholic @ 07:28, 24 April 2020 (UTC)

A question

Hi Buidhe, Since you are very active at RSN, I thought you could help find out what I should do. I noticed that many RSN discussions lead to a consensus, and admin closure. I had asked a question there (Misplaced Pages:Reliable sources/Noticeboard#FrontPage Magazine), but I am not sure if I should wait for a closure or not, since no RfC is requested.

ad Hitlerum

For the sake of curiosity: what do you consider original research in the statement that "ad Hitlerum" features an inflected name in the same way "ad Lutherum" does?
