| == Mive Review == | |||
| Hello @], this is to notify you about the move review at ]. ] (]) 11:06, 1 July 2024 (UTC) | |||
| == Deletion discussion about ] == | |||
| == My recent bold edit to PRIMARYTOPIC == | |||
| Prompted by by {{user|sroc}} that introduced some ambiguity to some language at ], on July 22, 2013 at 15:57 I made a bold edit to ] to clarify something that I thought was obvious and trivial: that only use of a term is the primary topic of that term. This clarification would also remove the ambiguity from anywhere where PRIMARYTOPIC was referenced in the way sroc did (assuming it applies to the only use case as well). These were the words I added: | |||
| : Whenever a word, name or phrase is used to refer to only one topic on Misplaced Pages, that topic is the '''primary topic''' for that term. | |||
| My edit summary said: "''The trivial case of primary topic - when a term refers to only one topic''". | |||
| Within 7 minutes, at 16:04, the edit was reverted by {{User|Dicklyon}}. | |||
| So, per ], I started a discussion about this at: | |||
| : ] | |||
| At 19:33, on July 22, 2013, 3 1/2 hours after my edit was reverted, and well into the above discussion, {{User|Tony1}} started a new section about me allegedly adding my own "untested" views into the guideline. | |||
| : ] | |||
| Some of the discussion about the edit spilled into this section, starting with {{User|JHunterJ}} asking for a "headline version of the problem with noting that if there's only one WP topic for a WP title, it's the primary topic for the title?" Andrewa agreed he had not seen any such description. I believe no one has provided one yet. | |||
| After two days {{User|Obiwankenobi}} closed that behavior discussion, saying, "If people want to continue to engage about B2C's policy editing style, they should do so at their userpage.". | |||
| So, I've created this section for that. | |||
| I want to start by addressing Andrew's claim that I should have known this particular edit needed discussion needed first, so I've demonstrated an inability to gauge what edits need discussion first, and thus I should always discuss first. I suggest that's applying a standard to me that nobody else is expected to meet. I mean, the history of that page alone is replete with reverts of edits that were made without discussion first - is every one of those edits evidence of someone who should never edit without discussing first? | |||
| Also, I'm not convinced that if someone else had made the edit, that it would not have been reverted. After all, we're still waiting for someone, anyone, to explain how saying this is problematic or harmful in anyway. What does the addition of this edit do to Misplaced Pages other than harmlessly clarify something that is currently ambiguous? How does it not reflect consensus when there are multiple examples (or least there were 3 days ago) of references to ] in our guidelines that clearly assumed it meant exactly what the words I added said? --]2] 22:29, 25 July 2013 (UTC) | |||
| :Don't take it personally. I support your view in principle but disagree with how you have gone about it and would have taken the same action whoever it was. I don't know you, anyway! | |||
| :I agree with you that, where a particular title has only one topic, that topic is effectively (if not technically) the ''primary topic''. I wasn't certain that ] needed to be amended to explicitly say this, as I thought ] would make that obvious, but if it's causing confusion, then I would support a line in WP:PRIMARYTOPIC to clarify this. That document is a ''guideline'' though, and about whether or not ''primary topic'' should, by definition, include such cases. Therefore, it requires discussion to reach a consensus on this before making such changes. | |||
| :I do '''not''' agree with creating a new guideline or essay at ], which only adds another layer of complexity to something that is really quite simply. I certainly do '''not''' agree with editing guidelines to replace references to WP:PRIMARYTOPIC (an agreed guideline) with WP:PRIMARYORONLYTOPIC (your own essay), as which is why . | |||
| :<s>I'm not sure why you're choosing to discuss this on your talk page rather than at ].</s> <small>—''']''' ]</small> 23:18, 25 July 2013 (UTC) | |||
| ::I'm not taking anything you said or did personally. It never seemed personal. I do finally understand your viewpoint. Now that I do, I'll give it some thought. If I have a flash of insight, I'll share it with you. But as far as I'm concerned, you and I have no unresolved issues.<p>But here's another idea. How about adding an ONLYTOPIC section to ]? After all, the objection to adding this clarification to PT is because it's on ] which deals only with disambiguation. So maybe ONLYTOPIC belongs on ]? I'll propose it at ]. --]2] 23:28, 25 July 2013 (UTC) | |||

| ===Reply by Andrewa=== | |||
| Since you've atated ''I want to start by addressing Andrew's claim that I should have known this particular edit needed discussion needed first, so I've demonstrated an inability to gauge what edits need discussion first, and thus I should always discuss first'', may I start by saying I think you are misquoting me? | |||
| I think you're referring to . This doesn't at all imply that you ''should have known this particular edit needed discussion'', although I can see how it could be taken that way. What concerned me and still concerns me is that you still didn't seem to consider that it needed discussion. That's what I meant when I said ''In view of your misplaced confidence that this particular edit needed no discussion first...''. | |||
| Several other editors have said that they might well have made the same edit, in the same circumstances, without prior discussion. But that doesn't mean they'd do so now, I hope nobody would, because it has now been demonstrated to need discussion. | |||
| I think you do need to be more willing to participate in informal talk page discussion, and most important, to accept the result of consensus reached there. The discussion at ] has a similar theme. ] (]) 02:21, 26 July 2013 (UTC)k | |||
| :I must be an idiot because I'm completely lost. I'm the one who started a discussion. I'm the one frustrated that everyone seems to be more eager to discuss why I didn't discuss first, why we're discussing here and not there, etc., etc., anything but the content of the edit itself, and you're still accusing ''me'' of not being sufficiently willing to participate in informal talk page discussion? Have you looked at my edit history? For God sakes! It's all I do! --]2] 03:44, 26 July 2013 (UTC) | |||
| ::No, you're not a complete idiot, and yes you do contribute an enormous amount of informal discussion. But there are circumstances in which you're very resistant to such discussion, and that's a shame. It makes much of your contribution unhelpful. | |||
| ::A case in point would be the very helpful distinction you often make between ''local'' and general consensus. I think this is a very useful concept and a brilliant turn of phrase, but it appears nowhere in the policy at , unless you count the redirect from {{noredirect|Misplaced Pages:LOCALCONSENSUS}} (which I note was created by a user account which is now blocked indefinitely, I'm not sure why). Rather than using this term extensively with no policy support for it, wouldn't it be better to either incorporate it into the policy, or alternatively use the standard Misplaced Pages terminology? | |||
| ::It is a subtle distinction, and our policies and guidelines are not entirely consistent on it (as with many things). We do of course need to balance ] and ] against improving policies, but there is a time for improving them, and that time is when they no longer support the arguments we accept by consensus as valid (otherwise, why have the policies). Either your arguments rejecting ''local consensus'' when it appears to contradict guidelines are valid (as I believe they are in some cases at least) or they are not. If they are then we need to update the policy. | |||
| ::But if not, then you should not appeal to the concept. And it is not perhaps as simple as you make out. | |||
| ::So, this phrase should be discussed on the appropriate talk page, and incorporated into the policy if consensus is reached there. There's a discussion on this very point at ] (probably about to be archived) that reached no conclusion, which is not hopeful. ] (]) 07:16, 28 July 2013 (UTC) | |||
| :::I don't understand. You accuse me of being resistant to informal discussion, and your example is ''"the very helpful distinction often make between ''local'' and general consensus."'', a distinction I often make in informal discussion. How is this supporting your claim that I resist informal discussion?<p>The link to ] is over two years old and . More importantly, it's just a link to a section of a policy page, ], thus it ''is'' policy: | |||
| {{quotation|Consensus among a limited group of editors, at one place and time, cannot override community consensus on a wider scale. | |||
| ... reflect established consensus, ... }} | |||
| :::Yet you chide me for ''"using this term extensively with no policy support for it"''? What are you asking for, exactly? ? --]2] 16:56, 29 July 2013 (UTC) | |||
| ::::Was the redirect ever discussed? If not, it's not policy. Its target is, but the inclusion of an undiscussed change into a policy is a simple mistake, not a change of policy. ] (]) 06:53, 31 July 2013 (UTC) | |||
| :::::The quoted text is on a policy page, therefore it is policy. The term or link is simply a short cut reference to that text conceptually equivalent to copy/pasting that text into where-ever it is referenced. <p>Trying to draw a distinction between referring to policy directly, rather than indirectly through a term or link, makes it difficult for me to believe you're serious. --]2] 16:32, 31 July 2013 (UTC) | |||
| ::::::The quoted text simply refers to "consensus". It does not refer to "local consensus". I believe it is unwise to try and draw official distinctions among what you perceive as various kinds of consensus. And I believe Andrewa was asking about the creation of the redirect -- whether or not its creation was based on discussion. A redirect is not "policy"; it's just a navigational aid. ] (]) 17:06, 31 July 2013 (UTC) | |||
| :::::::If somebody says ] is policy, they mean the text to which ] refers on the policy page is policy, not the redirect itself. Same with ]. It doesn't matter what the name of the link is. It could be {{fakelink|WP:THEXYZCONCEPT}}. If it links to a section on a policy page, then it's reasonable to refer to {{fakelink|WP:THEXYZCONCEPT}}, and to "The XYZ Concept" for that matter, as policy, especially if there are hundreds of uses of this link for this purpose, as is the case for ] and "local consensus" (which establishes that it is ] to use this redirect and term to refer to the concept described in that policy section much more than ]). <p>This is done all the time. Trying to make an issue out of something so trivial is taking nit-picking to a new level. --]2] 17:45, 31 July 2013 (UTC) | |||
| ::::::::This is not nit-picking. This is simply saying that the use of the term "local consensus" is not agreed, so it should not replace the term "consensus". ] (]) 18:35, 31 July 2013 (UTC) | |||
| :::::::::Do you deny the existence of the two types of consensus? (1) That of the participants in a specific discussion, and (2) that of the entire community Misplaced Pages contributors? Why do ''you'' object to the use of any term to distinguish one type of consensus from the other? --]2] 16:53, 1 August 2013 (UTC) | |||
| ::::::::::There are not any "types" of consensus here. In any case, the point is that you wished to change a policy page to use your term when that was not agreed. In other words, there was no consensus to do so. ] (]) 14:28, 2 August 2013 (UTC) | |||
| :::::::::::Do you deny the existence of two ''levels'' of consensus? (1) That of the participants in a specific discussion, and (2) that of the entire community Misplaced Pages contributors? Why do ''you'' object to the use of any term to distinguish one ''level'' of consensus from the other? --]2] 18:45, 2 August 2013 (UTC) | |||
| Let's try another tack... was there any particular discussion on which you based ? There's a lot of discussion, but such an edit should not have been made without consensus, surely? Where do you think this was achieved? ] (]) 18:48, 3 August 2013 (UTC) | |||
| :Why are we trying to discuss policy on a user talk page? ] (]) 19:54, 3 August 2013 (UTC) | |||
| ::Good question, we shouldn't be. But neither should we discuss user behaviour on a project talk page, we should raise it first here. I think there's a problem with that edit in terms of user behaviour. The policy implications of this edit should be discussed on the project talk page(s) of course, and may have been and I've missed it. B2C should be able to tell us, and point us in the right direction, so we don't go reinventing the wheel. ] (]) 22:06, 3 August 2013 (UTC) | |||
| :::First, not every edit requires discussion. BRD applies to policy pages too, as long as the Bold edit is done with the belief that it has consensus support. Second, this was a rewording and didn't change the substance of what that section said prior to the edit. --]2] 06:16, 5 August 2013 (UTC) | |||
| ::::At the risk of ], I think this means that there was no prior discussion. | |||
| ::::BRD is an essay. It does not in any way affect policy. | |||
| ::::The problem is, what you propose would be a blank cheque for anyone who forms a ''belief that it has consensus support'' to then boldly change policy. In terms of your beliefs about ''community consensus'', that would then authorise you to make any change that you unilaterally decide improves the consistency of policy. That is not the intention of ]. ] (]) 14:48, 5 August 2013 (UTC) | |||
| ::::::Don't blame the messenger. The majority of policy edits are made, and have always been made, accordingly. --]2] 16:01, 5 August 2013 (UTC) | |||
| :::::::(tp stalker). I agree with B2C here. BRD is fine, even on policy pages. these have many watchers, and if you're too bold, they get reverted quickly, so you start discussing. I've bold edits to policy pages which were never reverted and never discussed explicitly, but which were rather my reading of a broad consensus from other discussions elsewhere. I would never edit war to keep some BRD change in, but one edit is within the realm of reason.--] (]) 16:19, 5 August 2013 (UTC) | |||
| ::::::::See this ]. Being bold in editing policy pages is explicitly permitted by, yup, policy. --] (]) 19:56, 5 August 2013 (UTC) | |||
| :::::::::But keep in mind that B2C has been repeatedly warned about his behavior. If any editor should be avoiding the "be bold" principle on policy pages, it's B2C. ] (]) 20:03, 5 August 2013 (UTC) | |||
| ::::::::::Agree, but if there's no consensus here that this behaviour is contrary to policy, then it's not a behaviour issue, it's now a policy issue. ] (]) 20:25, 5 August 2013 (UTC) | |||
| :::::::::OK, I think this is now about policy rather than behaviour, and as such should go back to a project talk page. We can link here for the exact issue, of course. ] (]) 20:25, 5 August 2013 (UTC) | |||
| ::::::::::No, it's a behavior issue. Do you know the history? ] (]) 20:27, 5 August 2013 (UTC) | |||
| :::::::::::I think I do, but diffs would be good. ] (]) 21:13, 5 August 2013 (UTC) | |||

| ::::::::::], although tagged {{tl|essay}}, is extremely prominent and respected among essays, and would be well considered as behavioral policy. It applies to all editing, represents a minimum standard for advanced editing, a minimum standard that when carelessly crossed leads to trouble. --] (]) 00:09, 6 August 2013 (UTC) | |||
| :::::::::::Agree with most of this. A good outcome would be to promote WP:BRD to policy, or at least to a behavioural guideline. Assuming you're right about its current status, there should be no trouble getting (dare I say) consensus on this. But again, that discussion should take place on project talk pages, not user talk pages. ] (]) 00:44, 6 August 2013 (UTC) | |||
| ::::::::::::Agreed, and I'm about ready to archive this whole section accordingly... --]2] 05:20, 6 August 2013 (UTC) | |||

| == another local consensus issue == | |||
| See ]. Most 'do not include' votes cite the policy, which is pretty clear - if the subject requests, do not include. The subject has requested, at least twice now. Most 'include' votes cite other, less-directly-relevant policies, or forward arguments not found in any policy. Trend is to include, but it will be interesting to see how closer deals with this.--] (]) 23:48, 5 August 2013 (UTC) | |||

| Did you forget that you had expressed your position against the two commas, and therefore are ineligible to do a non-admin close? ] (]) 00:19, 10 August 2013 (UTC) | |||
| :In this case I think it was OK. There was a broader discussion going on elsewhere, which will determine the result of the discussion B2C closed, so it would have been inappropriate to make any change or reach any conclusion other than "no consensus". BDD had already called for a procedural close. Somebody had to do it. --] (]) 02:43, 10 August 2013 (UTC) | |||
| ::It's not as if we are short of people who can close the discussion. For someone as polemic with entrenched positions, it's certainly very debatable whether B2C would have been the best person to close ''any'' discussion on page moves.

| ::Yes, it's a problem. Please revert yourself and let someone uninvolved have a look. The close should at least acknowledge that there's a big consensus at the RFC that it needs to be moved, one way or the other. You pretty much said so yourself at ] when you wrote "If disambiguation is necessary, as is apparently the case here, I suggest parentheses: Rochester metropolitan area (New York) and Rochester metropolitan area (Minnesota). But I also think a strong argument could be made per WP:PRIMARYTOPIC and WP:TWODABS for no dab page, and to use Rochester metropolitan area for the one in New York, and Rochester metropolitan area (Minnesota). --B2C 21:36, 19 July 2013 (UTC)". Your close at ] did not acknowledge this reality. ] (]) 05:34, 10 August 2013 (UTC) | |||
| :::I don't understand your objection. This RM proposal was specifically about whether to have one or two commas in that title (] → ]). I had no position or preference on that particular issue, and the statement you quoted above was not related to that question. If you think my statement somehow demonstrates a preference for either "Rochester, New York metropolitan area" or "Rochester, New York, metropolitan area", please explain which one and why. I don't disagree that there is a local consensus at that RFC to move that title, but I just don't see consensus basis to move it to this particular proposed title (or any other particular title for that matter). --]2] 06:19, 12 August 2013 (UTC) | |||
| :::::You also specifically rejected my two-comma suggestion with "I don't know of any precedence or reason to use 'common natural sentence form' in article titles. --B2C 00:04, 20 July 2013 (UTC)". This seems to have been a specific denial of the natural grammatical form, which is what this RM was about. ] (]) 22:20, 12 August 2013 (UTC) | |||
| ::::B2C, I ''always'' object to you doing non-admin closes of RMs, because you have a strongly-fought position on titling theories and are always chipping away at the ] to make policy reflect your way. RMs should be closed by people who are more neutral. In this case, you closed it without acknowledging the obvious consesnsus at the related RFC that it should be moved, and the issue that remains open is to what. In light of this, letting someone who could either see the answer, or someone open enough to relist and wait, close it would have been better all around. Now, we just have to start yet another one. ] (]) 19:30, 12 August 2013 (UTC) | |||
| :::::You object to almost everything I do or say, ''period''. You seem to be incapable of remaining objective when I'm involved. That's not my problem, it's yours. In this case, I stand by my close as fair, reasonable and objective. I had no horse in that race. It's sour grapes in spades to stretch so far as to object on the grounds of ''who'' closed a given discussion, rather than whether the close reasoning was sound, fair, objective and reasonable.<p>As to not acknowledging the consensus at a related RFC - there is no obligation for any closer to mention that. RM proposals are often about issues that are discovered elsewhere; I don't recall any RM closer ever mentioning such related/separate discussions. There is little if any precedent for what you're demanding (once holding trying to hold me to a standard that nobody else is ever expected to achieve).<p> Consensus needs to develop through discussion for a title that is supported by consensus. Consensus is simply not there yet, and I think that's plain for anyone to see. --]2] 20:35, 12 August 2013 (UTC) | |||
| ::::::The objection based on ''who'' did the close is valid in this case, since you had commented specifically on the renaming of this article, in another discussion. The fact that you forgot, and didn't acknowledge the rest of the discussion about it, doesn't make it OK. You really should not be doing RM closing; you always have a dog in the race. ] (]) 21:50, 12 August 2013 (UTC) | |||
| Hello, Born2cycle | |||
| == RM closing styles == | |||
| Welcome to Misplaced Pages! I edit here too, under the username ] and it's nice to meet you :-) | |||
| Hi B2C, | |||
| I wanted to let you know that I've asked for a discussion about the redirect ], created by you. Your comments are welcome at {{sectionlink|Misplaced Pages:Redirects for discussion/Log/2024 September 4#,la}}. | |||
| I am just reviewing your close, at ]. On substance, it seems a fine close, thanks for doing it. | |||
| If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with <code><nowiki>{{Re|</nowiki>SafariScribe<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>. And don't forget to sign your reply with <code><nowiki>~~~~</nowiki></code> . Thanks! | |||
| I have some wishes, applying here to you and to many others: | |||
| :(1) I wish that non-admins would use the {{tl|RMnac}} template. | |||
| :(2) I wish that "Do not move" closes would specify whether the closer is reading a "consensus to not move", which raises the burden on a later RM nominator, and a "no consensus" discussion. Your second sentence is good, but specifying this in the bold is better. It makes it easier to review old RM discussions. | |||
| :(3) I wish that closes would record the above in the edit summary, specifically that the edit is a RM Close, and how closed. It greatly helps when reviewing through watch-listing, page histories or user contributions. | |||
| <small>(Message delivered via the ] tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)</small><!-- Template:RFDNote-NPF --> | |||
| Would these be agreeable to you? --] (]) 07:19, 12 August 2013 (UTC) | |||
| ::(1) When I discovered RMnac I started using it, and I thought there was consensus support for non-admins to use it. But when I tried to say that at ] , it was reverted. So, unless consensus changes about using RMnac, I'm not too keen on using it any more. I think that revert (and other examples) reflects a shift in consensus in the last 6 months about NACs vs. admin closes, moving towards the view that the difference between them is practically insignificant. | |||
| ::<p>(2) Unless the close result says "no consensus" it reflects consensus finding. So, '''Do not move''' means "''consensus is'' do not move". That's how I read it, and that's what I mean by it. If you know of any examples of where a closer used "do not move" in a "no consensus" situation, please let me know. I don't think I've ever seen that. I don't think I've ever seen an RM closed with '''consensus to not move'''. But if you think that's what closers should be using, I suggest making a proposal at ] to modify ] accordingly. I note that those instructions are not clear on what phrases to use in what situations - that seems to be an area for improvement. <p>The phrase I have an issue with is, "no consensus to move". Does that mean "there is no consensus, ''so'' don't move"? Or does it mean "there ''is'' consensus to not move"? I raised this issue at ]. Most people seem to think it means "no consensus to move or not move, so that's how I'm interpreting it, but I'm still not using it myself. | |||
| ::<p>(3) I agree I should have noted "RM close" in the edit summary (or something to that effect). I'll try to remember next time. But, again, "do not move" in the edit summary means "consensus is to not move". --]2] 16:39, 12 August 2013 (UTC) | |||

| B2C, how does an RM with four opposers making policy-based arguments override a nominator's opinion (the third time around!). If you support the move, just say so. It's very difficult to see how a relisting was appropriate there. A rationale should have been provided. --] (]) 00:01, 14 August 2013 (UTC) | |||

| :This one really speaks clearly to the question of sources, case-by-case reasons, and the weight given to "policy-based arguments". It speaks to a simmering debate, involving at least me and B2C, on the role of policy, descriptive vs prescriptive, are the many policy/subpolicy policy pages really representative, were they ever meant to be binding, are the active participants at policy/subpolicy pages representative of the community and/or representing project goals? B2C had just poked at WT:AT, and given that, and the significance of the case as I state, discouraging a close today is a good idea. Agreed, a more articulate statement saying that this is really a pertinent case and that he had just increased its adverting, would have been preferable to "relist" edit. --] (]) 00:28, 14 August 2013 (UTC) | |||
