Proposed move of Tam o' shanter (cap) to Tam o' shanter

Hello Zxcvbnm. I declined this at WP:RMTR because there is an existing DAB page at Tam O'Shanter. If you still think the move is a good idea you can file it as a regular move, but please explain how you would like all the DABs to work out. Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 19:11, 13 November 2019 (UTC)

@EdJohnston: "Tam o' shanter" is the only thing there that is lowercase. Hopefully now you will see my rationale for moving the page, due to WP:DIFFCAPS._{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 19:12, 13 November 2019 (UTC)

At present Tam o' shanter is a redirect to Tam o' Shanter. I would be reluctant to rest a distinction on such a thin reed as WP:DIFFCAPS when something is this confusing. Feel free to open a {{Requested move}} if you disagree. EdJohnston (talk) 19:28, 13 November 2019 (UTC)

Friendly suggestion about linking to evidence when nominating RMs

Hey, I've noticed in a lot of RMs that you open you will mention pageviews as part of your reasoning for the move. It would be helpful if you could link to the pageview comparison in the nom, just to save each other editor having to go to the pageview tool and enter the relevant article names. (It would also help avoid miscommunications where different editors get different results because they used different time ranges, daily vs. monthly views, or included a different set of articles in their analysis.) Same goes for ngrams etc. Cheers. Colin M (talk) 18:25, 23 November 2019 (UTC)

Travesti

When you turned Travesti into a DAB oage, you may have overlooked WP:FIXDABLINKS. The change broke 639 links, which will have to be fixed by hand by someone or other. Narky Blert (talk) 02:29, 28 November 2019 (UTC)

Sorry, my mistake. I think it's actually far less than that though, as the vast majority of those were due to a template being on those pages that had the incorect link._{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 03:15, 28 November 2019 (UTC)

Merging Kull Warrior

I am merging some Stargate articles, and after your Kull Warrior concerns at AfD, I want to let you know that I've merged the article to List of Stargate SG-1 characters#Other alien recurring characters. I think it works fine there. – sgeureka 15:24, 29 November 2019 (UTC)

Agreed, that is a good WP:ATD._{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 16:50, 29 November 2019 (UTC)

Nomination of Technology in Stargate for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Technology in Stargate is suitable for inclusion in Misplaced Pages according to Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Technology in Stargate (2nd nomination) until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. – sgeureka 08:39, 30 November 2019 (UTC)

Geometry Wars

I saw that you have done some work on Geometry Wars, and now there is a page for the series itself. Thanks for your work. I have done some more work on it, as you can see in the version histories. Now, Geometry wars redirects to this series page, instead of just Retro Evolved. Were the changes I made consistent with what you had in mind? BirdValiant (talk) 04:49, 12 December 2019 (UTC)

@BirdValiant: Yes, please feel free to expand as you see fit. I just added the bare minimum so it can definitely be expanded with some more context about the series._{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 05:00, 12 December 2019 (UTC)

@Zxcvbnm: I probably won't, but I'm just glad to see that the pages have enjoyed some caretaking. I actually created the article back in 2005, and it's great to see how it has taken shape over this time. BirdValiant (talk) 05:12, 12 December 2019 (UTC)

This time

I disagree (Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Hard fantasy (2nd nomination)). Seems like a notable topic, just badly written article with poor sources. But sources are out there, per links in my vote. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 08:25, 21 December 2019 (UTC)

Happy Holidays

Thank you for continuing to make Misplaced Pages the greatest project in the world. I hope you have an excellent holiday season. Lightburst (talk) 22:57, 21 December 2019 (UTC)

DYK for Squibb Park Bridge

On 22 December 2019, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Squibb Park Bridge, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that New York City's "seemingly cursed" $4 million Squibb Park Bridge was demolished less than seven years after it was built? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Squibb Park Bridge. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Squibb Park Bridge), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.
