- Akshadev, you pinged me with a direct question last week, so I am following your talk page. Please be aware that issuing threats and retaliating against editors who disagree with you is actionable. Leaving a comment instead of making a decision on the matter myself was meant to be the gentler option here. Dekimasuγ! 18:11, 2 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- I did follow the gentler option, and I am aware of what Wikipedia is and what Wikipedia is not! β π°πππππππβ’ πΏ 18:20, 2 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- I have no hard feelings for anyone in the community but I do not like to repeatedly describe something again and again! I warned that IP in my edit summaries multiple times before (at Chiangrai United F.C.) but I guess they were unable to see and listen! May be they're deaf or something! β π°πππππππβ’ πΏ 18:22, 2 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- As noted at WP:AIV, other editors do not appear to regard the IP's edits as vandalism. However, what I was objecting to was specifically this particular edit summary, "Enough explanation by me, now you'll pay". Threatening other editors is never acceptable under any circumstances, and going through the list of the IPs edits and undoing them when they have not been blocked can be regarded as harassment. I find it very troubling that you are doubling down on this. Note that I have not given you an "ultimatum"; we are not supposed to be giving ultimatums, because they are counterproductive. I am asking you not to threaten or hound the other editor, whether you feel your position is correct or not. Have you received that message? Dekimasuγ! 18:26, 2 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- That was nothing but frustration. It happens sometimes! You can't expect a person (like I am for example) to repeatedly teach some IPs about editing Wikipedia or how it's done! Although I can assure you that I'll be more careful with my words! Can't guarantee it but of course I'll better try not to do it. Happy editing! β π°πππππππβ’ πΏ 18:35, 2 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I asked you a question three paragraphs above (What message have I received?). β π°πππππππβ’ πΏ 03:04, 3 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- The message is simply insistence that you not threaten or retaliate against other editors, even when frustrated. You do not need to reply again here. You've already said that you will do your best, and hopefully that means there will be no further problems. Dekimasuγ! 04:53, 3 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Regarding your edits today, please note that WP:RMCI#Conflicts of interest states "Do not ask for a specific closer under any circumstances." When a move request has run its course, someone uninvolved will eventually close it. Specific editors should not be messaged for a close; if there is something particularly pressing involved, you can make a post at Wikipedia:Closure requests.

Hello, Dekimasu. I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to reach out with a quick inquiry regarding the Wikipedia page for Zaw Min Tun (general). I have noticed that there is another individual named Zaw Min Tun, a footballer, who does not use the (footballer) designation in his page title, whereas the general's page includes (general).In an effort to maintain a better standard of names and enhance visibility for General Zaw Min Tun, who is currently more relevant than the footballer, I am interested in proposing a move from "Zaw Min Tun (general)" to simply "Zaw Min Tun."Could you kindly guide me on the appropriate steps to initiate this process? Your assistance is highly appreciated. If this adjustment is not feasible or requires further consideration, I completely understand.Thank you for your time and support. KhantWiki (talk) 10:30, 23 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- There is no problem with the way the discussion is arranged, but the discussion needs to proceed for one week, and the page must not be moved while the discussion is open. Please leave things the way they are, although you should feel free to respond with additional comments. Note that General Zaw Min Tun is not a standard title under WP:NCP. Also, it is fine to write to me using your own words. If there is something I can't understand, I'll let you know. Best, Dekimasuγ! 15:21, 23 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Dekimasu,
I am terribly sorry I removed your additional comment when I added a few things to the Afd about Choshu. I saw there was an edit conflict and tried to resolve it manually but I didn't check neither the preview nor the result. My sincere apologies. Thanks again for noting and fixing it. Very sorry. Best, -My, oh my! (Mushy Yank) 15:36, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please, can you recontrol all info you've deleted (corrections, sources as requested, etc.) and maybe edit yourself those very important? Thank you. --80.116.115.57 14:42, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- I know that you are aware you should not be editing when blocked, and that you should not be switching IPs or using other accounts to continue editing (on the English Wikipedia, WP:EVADE). I will not reinstate the material that was reverted; the evidence shows that this would encourage you to continue evading your block, and there are other issues with what was changed, such as (but not limited to) repeated insertion of personal judgments (e.g. "mercilessly") that are not supported by the evidence. One underlying point is that it is disruptiveβa drain on the time and resources of a significant number of editors in good standingβto try to go through each example of your block evasion to attempt to determine what is useful and what is not, when it is already known that there is a pattern of problems. A second underlying point is that you should not be trying to insert material while blocked, or negotiate the reinsertion of material while blocked. While I was not the first person to block you either here or on other Wikimedia sites, I encourage you to reflect on the pattern of blocks that you have faced to date. Not all editors are blocked for disruption, so you should make an attempt to consider why your editing has resulted in blocks. And not all editors who are blocked attempt to circumvent the blocks through evasion. Currently, to editors and administrators attempting to improve articles here, your evasion is an indication that you are not interested in adhering to the behavioral norms of the project or acknowledging consensus. If you would like this sort of thing to be reconsidered at some point in the future, the proper course of action is to not continue the same pattern that resulted in your blocks. That, of course, would also mean not evading your block. Best, Dekimasuγ! 15:03, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Ok, but can you recontrol it anyway? 80.116.115.57 (talk) 15:06, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- I do not fully understand what you mean by "recontrol", but for example, this is not a reliable source. I am not sure what your goal has been in editing that article, but it does not serve readers to add unreliable or sensationalized information. Editing the article down to what is actually verifiable would probably result in a much shorter article than the current version. If there is an editor who is interested in improving the article, it will be improved. Note that this does not mean that you should contact editors to ask them to change the article. There is no deadline. Your reply does not indicate to me that you have understood my previous message; I encourage you to read it again. Dekimasuγ! 15:21, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Since you have started to reinstate block-evading edits on other pages, I have blocked the IP you were using to write here. If you have other comments related to your block, I encourage you to log in and write them on the talk page of the account that is currently marked as the sockmasterβe.g. indicating a desire to take the Wikipedia:Standard offer. However, please note that this suggestion does not mean you should attempt to negotiate article contents on that user talk page. Dekimasuγ! 15:27, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hello Dekimasu-san, Thank you for everything you do to improve Wikipedia particularly with providing Japanese sources in deletion discussions. I wanted to ask you a question about changing the page a link redirects to and moving pages around. I noticed that you linked to Shukan ShinchΕ in the Shinohara Yoshiko deletion discussion. Oddly, that link redirects to Weekly magazines in Japan instead of Shukan Shincho. It seems to me that that, at a minimum, the redirect should point to the magazine but ideally, the article should be located at Shukan ShinchΕ where you linked it. I don't know how to approach this given the existing article locations and redirects. Do you have any advise? DCsansei (talk) 13:26, 24 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks for bringing this to my attention. It looks like the redirect predates the article, which explains why it doesn't point to the right place now. I mostly agree that the magazine should be at the title with the macron, but those sorts of moves are not always uncontroversial. (The question tends to be whether a standard title without the macron has already been established in English, even though the macronned form is more accurate.) I will point the redirect to the current location, and then a request can be made at WP:RM to adjust the title of the article if necessary. Best, Dekimasuγ! 02:07, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Thank you. I don't think I've made a requested move yet but will try to read the documentation and do it at some point, it seems similar to deletion discussions. So far my Wikipedia involvement has mostly involved writing articles, editing, and participating in deletion discussions. DCsansei (talk) 12:43, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Turns out I did a start a requested move before in an ill-fated attempt to get the article on WW2 incarceration moved to reflect the more accurate terminology. Anyway, I have made the request at Talk:Shukan Shincho. DCsansei (talk) 20:24, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- I see that there was an improvement suggested in that discussion (ShΕ«kan ShinchΕ) that I would normally need to kick myself about, so it shows that it's worth involving more eyes in the conversation. But at the same time, we also got the redirect fixed. So good results all around! Best, Dekimasuγ! 04:18, 2 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @Dekimasu hey please stop reverting edits on directed Wikipedia pages okay Lovemuhcko (talk) 06:05, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Hello Lovemuhcko, please note that wikilinks should only be altered when they are not pointed to the correct locations. The edits you have been making are already pointing to the correct articles, so they should not be altered per WP:NOTBROKEN. Changing the links creates a strain on the editing time of other editors, with no positive results, and in many cases the links you altered were also intentionally specific. As I explained in my edit summaries, continuing to do this is a form of disruptive editing that can result in blocks. Best, Dekimasuγ! 06:11, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

- Thanks for notifying me of the subsequent discussion, and I have replied on your talk page. Best, Dekimasuγ! 04:11, 2 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Dekimasu - I recently came across an editor with pagemover rights, who's been moving pages without redirects in situations where I believe none of the WP:PMRC apply. I was going to leave them a message about it, but then I noticed that they've had a number of such messages over several years; including a final warning
left by yourself in January 2020. Since then, they've had at least one other enquiry about their use of the permission, which - as far as I can see - wasn't responded to.
I therefore wanted to seek the attention/advice of an admin on this matter. I'm messaging you as the admin that left the final warning
, but I purposefully haven't named the editor in question yet as I wanted to check if you'd mind this sort of report on your talk page; or if you'd rather I went to AN/I or somewhere else.
Let me know what you think would be best in this situation. All the best. βββaΒ smart kitten[meow] 04:20, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- I have not looked at this in a while, but it seems this was still happening last year (e.g. here in mainspace and some but not all of the large number of talk archive moves), and there have been a few individual problematic repressions this year, mostly involving talk pages. The behavior falls under WP:PMRR #3, particularly because this is a pattern over an extended period, the editor is aware of the problem, and there has been a refusal to change to adhere to WP:R#SUPPRESS. It's unfortunate because the editor is otherwise productive. It would be easier for me to have others deal with this since I may not be able to respond in a timely way if there are any objections to the removal, but I would be happy to reply as necessary if you initiate a discussion somewhere. WP:AN might be the place to start (see Wikipedia talk:Requests for permissions#Where to file a request for removal of Page Mover rights?). I would also suggest focusing on the mainspace and talk errors rather than the archives, since some of the talk archive moves appear correct and it may be more difficult to explain that aspect of the problem succinctly (e.g. try explaining why this is inappropriate in a few sentences... in comparison, this or this is easy to understand). If you have any other questions, please let me know. Best, Dekimasuγ! 05:20, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Dear Dekimatsu,
My Wikipedia page received the following notice today: "A major contributor to this article appears to have a close connection with its subject." I was unaware that Wikipedia's policies did not look kindly on adding content to his own Wikipedia page when I added some content to my page on March 5th. Wikipedia notified me of this and, as a result, I first apologized in a message to Wikipedia and then COMPLETELY REMOVED THE CONTENT I HAD ADDED from my page on March 7th, reverting the page back to the way if was beforehand. As a result, my Wikipedia page is now back to the way it was in February of this year. I hope this action on my part alleviates your concern. Thanks!
Sincerely, Paul Richman Richmanpaul (talk) 18:09, 9 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- It is not quite the case that your edits restored the page to the way it looked before your edits, although I acknowledge that may have been your intention; I have replied in further detail at User talk:Richmanpaul, but I have not readded the conflict of interest tag to the article. Best, Dekimasuγ! 04:17, 10 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Dear Dekimasu - Thank you very much for your detailed explanation as to what happened, which I completely understand and I am very willing to accept. As I had previously indicated to Wikipedia in the TALK section associated with my article, I was unaware that Wikipedia's policies did not look kindly on adding content to oneβs own Wikipedia page when I added some content to my page on March 5th. Wikipedia notified me of this and, as a result, I first apologized in a message to Wikipedia and then I immediately removed (almost) all of the content I had added to my page on March 7th. I read what you have said and, as I said before, although Iβm disappointed that the existence of my two textbooks is no longer mentioned at all in the article (especially since there are a number of references that clearly prove that at least English language versions of both books exist), all that youβve done is acceptable to me. Once again, Iβm very sorry for any trouble I might have caused and, in the future, please be assured that I certainly wonβt be making any additions or modifications to my Wikipedia page! Dekimasu β thank you so much for your understanding. Sincerely, Paul Richman Richmanpaul (talk) 17:49, 10 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Dear Dekimasu, I've explained my reason in those pages' summary, then, please, can you read about those absolutely necessary corrections very well instead of delete them again?

Hi, I have had a look at the page histories of two articles - Matt Lowton (formerly at Matthew Lowton when you protected) and Jack Cork and shows no disruption since protecting them back 4 years ago. I am wondering if this may be an idea to remove protection from both those pages as the subjects are not globally popular and disruption was fairly rare except for 2019 and January 2020 when you protected them indefinitely.

Hello, from the discussion here, I went and replaced the fictional references from 4 articles that were moved to draftspace (the other 2 seems to have been deleted under G5, making it impossible for me to attempt the same thing, wouldn't have been notable anyways), and also fixed some horrible translations and excessive use of bold markups. However, as my English skill is limited, I am not quite sure if this was enough cleaning to get the unverifiable informations off. ABG (Talk/Report any mistakes here) 12:28, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry to bother you about this, but it looks like we have another well-meaning but problematic editor working in this subject area. You can see my attempts to get anywhere at all at User talk:Asilvering#Draft:Homutsuwake no Mikoto; in short, the editor has no idea what reliable sources are, and doesn't seem able to explain their research process. I don't think it's Immanuelle, but it certainly is someone who writes quite a bit like Immanuelle. Saho-hime is an example of one of their articles in mainspace. I can't really make sense of the page history (maybe there are deleted revisions in there?). Hopefully you have the ability and inclination to get further with this than I did. -- asilvering (talk) 23:34, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Hi asilvering, I looked into this enough to see that external wikis were being used, and certainly this site is not a reliable source. It looks like the most recent edits to Saho-hime removed that source and linked to Aston (though marked "Anston") directly, but I do not have the Aston Nihongi around right now and I am not sure whether this indicates that the editor now recognizes that, e.g., "Cheer up! English" is unreliable. Of course, the entire subject area tends to be problematic. From my perspective there are not too many issues with writing about characters in these works if they are treated as fictional or legendary, but when it is recognized that we have no reliable sources then the issue of notability arises. At that point perhaps there isn't much difference between how we treat these figures and minor biblical ones; a single article along the lines of List of minor New Testament figures would probably be preferable to a lot of articles along the lines of Elizabeth (biblical figure), but for my part I don't know if it is possible to explain what separates the notability of biblical figures from those in Nihongi. I will try to keep an eye on the behavioral side of this if I can. Asking you not to review drafts as a result of how you are actually checking sources is not encouraging.

Is there any valid reason why did you remove or delete the article for The Twins at St. Clare's (the book) just to make room (or replace it with) for the page for the anime? Considering that TMS also uses that title for the anime's international releases. All of the other sequels in the St. Clare's book series all have pages, but now the first one's missing and now everybody is gonna confuse that this name which was used in the book was also used for the anime (albeit for international releases). If there's any problem or solution, please let me know to figure this out, thanks! VenezuelanSpongeBobFan2004 (talk) 19:42, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks for bringing this to my attention. This was my error, and everything is back where it should be now. Separately, all of the existing articles on the individual books in the series appear to consist solely of plot summaries (there are actually four, and the others redirect to the series because they were eliminated under WP:BLAR). Those articles either need to be improved to show their notability or should be redirected back to the series page, which also doesn't do a great job of establishing notability. But for now this was my mistake as I had missed the switch from "tales" to "twins". Best, Dekimasuγ! 20:41, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi. The King Cup is a huge mistake that no social media outlet, let alone a huge encyclopedia, should be involved in spreading. What do you propose to clean up this long-running mess? I hope you get my point. EpicAdventurer (talk) 15:39, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- My recommendation is to make one and only one move request using the instructions at Wikipedia:Requested moves#Requesting multiple page moves, including all of the articles that you think should be moved. You should propose titles that do not conflict with other titles, such as titles that end with "(Saudi Arabia)". If the Thai cup is not the primary topic for the phrase "King's Cup", then you can also propose that those pages be moved to titles that end with "(Thailand)". However, you should not request moves for any articles in cases in which the actual name for the tournament used at the time was "King Cup". The main problem with the way moves are being requested now is that they are being done one at a time and are requesting titles that remain ambiguous.

Regarding this move closure, I want to draw attention to the fact that this has now triggered an attempt to speedy rename category LGBT to LGBTQ and all similarly named categories, affecting tens of thousands of articles.
With that in mind, the fact that the opener notified only one project, and none of the other projects that are affected (eg. WP:HISTORY and WP:BIOGRAPHY) strikes me as WP:CANVASSING. Could you reconsider the close and re-open with wider notification? Void if removed (talk) 09:36, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Thank you for your message. I do not believe that the consensus of the discussion was in question, that the neutrally worded WikiProject notification was inappropriate, or that the number of articles affected should prevent the community from renaming articles. I see little in the discussion that leads me to believe it represented an unrepresentative cross-section of the editorship or a local consensus. Whether the outcome of the move of the article should apply to particular other parts of the encyclopedia as a result of further discussion is something that again can be determined by the community. Since I find the outcome of the discussion clear, I do not intend to reopen it at this time. Of course you are free to question this at Wikipedia:Move review if necessary, and I'm sorry to have reached a conclusion with which you disagree. Best, Dekimasuγ! 09:50, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Thank you for the thoughtful response, best wishes. Void if removed (talk) 10:23, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Just to expand on this, this is the second time I have encountered a page move with significant, undiscussed implications that didn't come to light until after the fact, and I'm genuinely unsure how these should be dealt with. I don't think you could have closed it any other way, there was clear consensus, and since a move review only checks whether the close was a proper reflection of consensus there's no actual mechanism to challenge that. So it isn't necessarily that I disagree with the conclusion you reached, it is that, once a top level page is renamed, there are policy reasons (eg. WP:CONSUB) that a whole load of sub pages and categories change, and I can't quite see why that was never discussed. It is a kind of hidden, policy-driven outcome that cannot be undone, and without grounds to overturn the move it must proceed, seemingly. Maybe that's as it should be, I don't know, I just think wider participation in changes of that scale are needed, and maybe there should be guidance in WP:RM that such policy outcomes should be explicitly identified in advance?

- The most basic mechanism to challenge the result of a previous move discussion is to start a new move discussion that reaches consensus for reversing the move (usually by arguing that a competing policy or guideline interest should take precedence). In a much more complex way it is also possible to find consensus to change the guidelines or policies upon which the move discussion hinged (and this is definitely an appropriate conversation to have through an RfC). More generally, page moves are always organized under the rubric of WP:BRD: moves, including mass moves, should not be performed unilaterally when anyone is expected to "reasonably disagree with the move", so the outcome of a single move discussion cannot be used to run roughshod over objections (WP:RMUM). At the same time, when the consensus of a previous discussion is clear, it may just slow things down to have the same result litigated over and over at each subsequent discussion. Ideally editors working with consensus in mind will be able to find a productive balance between those two poles.
- I do fundamentally disagree that there was insufficient participation in the requested move discussion. Discussion and policy application must be scalable. (It is actually easier to avoid WP:LOCALCONSENSUS by working on the broader problem, or in this case the parent article, first.) WP:DETCON says that "consensus is ascertained by the quality of the arguments given on the various sides of an issue, as viewed through the lens of Wikipedia policy." The reflection of overall policy and guidelines, rather than the number of editors involved, is what helps us determine consensus. If the implications of the move are significant, then the question is whether it causes us to do things that are contrary to policy and guidelines. Here I don't think anything like that will take place if we pay attention to the distinctions drawn by Tamzin and F4U in the move review.
- (I still haven't heard from the editor who opened the move review. I have tried not to make many comments at the move review, but I would also note that this edit he made to Talk:Queer was significantly closer to inappropriate canvassing than anything that took place during the move discussion. This is not one of my primary editing areas, so if it happens that you notice any RfCs initiated in the future, assistance ensuring that they are worded neutrally per WP:RFCNEUTRAL would be appreciated.)

- Hey, here I am. I apologize for not following the move review instructions. Briefly, I did tag you and this talk page discussion when I filed it, and I thought that was sufficient. I see now that I should have tagged you on the talk page. Also, I saw the rule that the move had to be discussed, but since someone else already discussed it with you and you declined, then I thought that was sufficient for me to begin.
- You said that I did inappropriate canvassing. When I am accused of misconduct, I typically make an offer to talk by voice and video. I sent you a link to my scheduler; I want to meet with you, and you can accept or decline as you like, but I make myself available. I am doing this because misconduct is personal and if you feel that way, then I offer to personally communicate with you.
- I have been doing LGBT+ activism for all my life. I mean well. I feel that the discussion on Wikipedia is narrow and includes little of the discourse.
- I am most upset that the closure you did is already being used as justification for ending the discussion, as in Talk:Queer and Talk:LGBTQ_community#Requested_move_27_August_2024, my talking points are shut down based on the argument that everything was settled in the LGBT->LGBTQ move. Consensus is supposed to be a lasting concept and I wanted to be heard, not overturn the move. If the move were legitimate then it should have been able to pass with a few additional comments from more people. In the move review and elsewhere I have people hovering around me telling me that Wikipedia's deadline cannot be changed by a few days and since I missed the comment period, now this article has to change, and so do thousands of others. I missed the notice of the move discussion but I sure did not miss the notice that 50,000 other articles were now going to change. That move was not advertised anywhere near to the extent of its effects.
- If there is to be some other action, like an RfC on moving everything, then I expect the common argument there will simply be that the LGBT->LGBTQ move is completely settled and not to be discussed further. It may not be your intent that the decision not radiate out, but I do not think your intent matters because that is what is going to happen. I regret that outcome.

- Thank you for contacting me, both here and by e-mail. I appreciate it. Unfortunately your availabilities are very difficult due to my current time zone. If it turns out to be necessary I can try to arrange something next week, but I usually handle everything on-wiki. Regarding the opening of the move review, the section on my talk page was linked but I was not pinged, in addition to not receiving a Template:Move review note notification. I was pinged to the discussion by another editor within a few hours, but would have liked to hear from you as well, since opening a move review also implies misconduct: the move review is to determine whether my close "was inconsistent with the spirit and intent of Wikipedia common practice, policies, or guidelines".
- I recognize that you mean well. As far as potential misconduct is concerned, I didn't find the talk page post I linked to be neutral, because it suggested that Wikipedia's role here is to "set global standards" (requesting advocacy), offered your opinion ("I question whether 'queer' is [universal]"), and linked the move review (which is not intended to determine either of those questions). I do not think editors moving from that post to the move review would do so without prejudice, and it is foreseeable that they would comment on the content of the discussion rather than on the close. You again mention here using the RfC process, and I again suggest that moves should be discussed through the RM process. Nominations in the RM process do not need to be neutral, so it is possible you might be more comfortable with that in future discussions as well.
- I have mentioned this a few times too, but there is no reason why subsequent discussion cannot take place at Talk:LGBTQ or Talk:Queer or elsewhere, particularly if there are policy- or guideline-based reasons for changing some aspect of the result. However, I would suggest that instead of focusing on the previous move request, that discussion should be forward-looking. I don't want to mischaracterize your comment that consensus is a lasting concept, but from another angle, we also know that Wikipedia:Consensus can change. That happened here, and it can happen again in the future. Being heard does not only need to take place within the format of the move request that I closed. There were policy-based arguments related to article titling made at Talk:LGBTQ which resulted in a clear consensus. You also made a policy-based (but unsourced) comment related to systemic bias and global perspective at Talk:LGBTQ community, which is part of WP:NPOV. I cannot say whether other participants in future discussions will be convinced that the global perspective argument is well founded or should take precedence over WP:AT, but in that discussion the participants disagreed rather than not hearing.

- I posted a video at Talk:LGBTQ#Late_comments_for_the_rename_of_LGBT_-_>_LGBTQ
- I do not expect you to watch me for 10+ minutes but regardless, I posted my comments on the talk page of the moved article. I do not like the high-stakes bureaucratic process that makes so many changes with so little flexibility after an arbitrary deadline. I appreciate that you suggest that I can discuss the issue elsewhere, but in practice now that the move is settled, the counterargument that I am hearing is that the matter has already been settled at the LGBT/LGBTQ article.
- The part about your action to which I object is you following rules designed for moving a single page when the actual situation is that the stakes are many thousands of articles, and also major global influence beyond Wikipedia into the media ecosystem. Regardless of anyone's intent, the name that Wikipedia sets for this concept will set global standards in government, policy, medicine, and more. I am not advocating that such advocacy happen, but it is just a consequence of Wikipedia's dominance as a global reference source. You have made no error by Wikipedia's rules, but Wikipedia's typical rule set should not lead to making such major sweeping changes on-wiki and beyond in such a rush. Thanks for enforcing the rules, which is what keeps Wikipedia stable and is what is supposed to happen. You have done everything you are supposed to do and I sincerely appreciate the order that you bring. Bluerasberry (talk) 13:04, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Just as I and several other active editors of the LGBTQ space have noted in the Move Review - this discussion of the move (and the likely follow up of subtopic articles) has been ongoing for years and most editors active on the Wikiproject or any of the sub articles have been aware for as long that the move would happen when the data supports it.
- It appears you haven't participated in the last few years of the prior move discussions, but it does appear you were aware of that ongoing consensus (you even noted that maybe this should just be put in an FAQ as it was so commonly known to editors involved in the space that for now the data didn't support the move (yet), until it did), so I don't know why it came as a surprise now that eventually the mainstream sentiment data would be evolving from LGBT to LGBTQ and that then, such a move would be supported as that had been the editing community's stance for a long time.

- I think others can take care of this. By the way, it's always possible to have a discussion arguing that the page should be a redirect, or to boldly replace all of the material with a redirect template, or to revert conversion of a redirect to an article and then engage in discussion, but please don't put a redirect template at the top of an article and leave all the contents of the article below it. Further, the similar format of both of these messages (before I edited them into wikilink form) leads me to wonder whether there is any logged-out editing going on. If there is, please see WP:EWLO.

Hi, please could you clarify the reason for this deletion [1]? I'm not familiar with this blocked user and would like to know the background. Thanks, --Viennese Waltz 07:48, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Hi Viennese Waltz, the easiest answer with recent info is to point you to User talk:Graham87#Inufan socks. This editor often raises Japan-related questions (and sometimes questions on European nobility, etc.) on the reference desks. This is one of many frequently used Italian IP ranges, and is one of the main reasons I'm currently monitoring the Humanities page. Best, Dekimasuγ! 12:28, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
