Page moves

1. Please don't move articles on the Main page unless they are wrong, it breaks stats.
2. Please check first what made people decide on an article title, in this case that WAB is too little known to be the only dab for Bruckner's work, - different from K. for Mozart and BWV for Bach. (Recent discussion on Classical music, look for Schubert, whose D catalogue was also not found enough of a dab.)
3. I reverted you, partly. Ave Maria (Bruckner) is THE Ave Maria that people think of, only the others need a number. I left WAB 5 and 7, but only for lack of time. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:09, 5 November 2014 (UTC)

Jesus talk page editnotice

Hi David, I just wanted to ask a favour: as you may or may not be aware at Talk:Jesus we have had a lot of complaints recently because Facebook's page categorises our saviour as a "fictional character". Since this has nothing to do with us another editor and I wish to create an editnotice about it at the talk page, but since I'm not an administrator I can't. I wonder if you might consider putting an editnotice about this at Template:Editnotices/Page/Talk:Jesus for us? I was thinking something along the following lines:

Facebook's labelling of Jesus as a "fictional character" has nothing to do with Misplaced Pages. Several editors have previously asked to have this changed. Since it has no connection with Misplaced Pages or its contributors please do not ask or start a section about this; doing so is pointless and inflates the size of this page unnecessarily. Please contact Facebook instead.

Thanks and I hope you are well. Congratulations by the way about getting Not My Life scheduled for the main page. —  Cliftonian (talk)  17:17, 5 November 2014 (UTC)
