| :Frustrating one. You did the right thing by starting a RfC at the village pump and no one there actually disagreed with pluralising, but at the same time there probably wasn't enough support to batch move hundreds(?) of articles. Probably better to be safe than sorry and start a new discussion at ]. I imagine that if you (or anyone) just started moving articles now citing the VP discussion there would be plenty of complaints. ] (]) 00:58, 3 September 2015 (UTC) | |||

| == Was it really necessary to remove this hook? == | |||
| ] (]) 13:02, 26 September 2024 (UTC) | |||
| Per . During the ], it was suggested that I take his name out of the hook, and I agreed, going to the present wording. I received no indication at the time that that wouldn't have been enough, so I feel a little blindsided on this one. Especially since the user who reported it to DYK/ERRORS overdid himself in renaming the article to "Death of ...", something I've reverted and explained to him that "murder" is a legal finding by an investigative authority regardless of whether anyone is ever prosecuted or convicted of the crime, much less identified as a suspect (we have ], after all). | |||
| However, it was not necessary to remove the hook entirely. While I think the wording of ] is flawed in that by saying that we should not say that "relatively unknown people" are accused of committing crimes we seem to fail to distinguish between "formally accused" (as in "arrested and charged by the proper authorities", which the young man in this case has been, in the latter case by two nations) and "informally accused" (by people on Internet comment threads, say), it says what it says, at least for now, and your talk page is not the place to change it. | |||
| We could nevertheless have kept the hook by rewording it to avoid all mention of a suspect, making it something like "... that the ''']''' one year ago today will be prosecuted in China although it occurred in ]?" Could you consider less drastic solutions like that in the future, please? ] (]) 22:17, 7 September 2015 (UTC) | |||
| :First, I'd just say I realise this must be an annoying situation for you to put serious work into the article to have it featured on the MP, only for it to be pulled when no one had objected in the weeks leading up to it. I appreciate your collegial tone here.<p>I did read the DYK nom and see it had already been altered to avoid mentioning the man's name, and that it had then been approved. I also checked WT:DYK to see if there was any discussion of it. But there didn't appear to be any further discussion of it and the hook was clearly in contravention on BLPCRIME. I had meant to leave the discussion for the hook up so that other ERRORS regulars could review my decision, but several minutes later it was removed as resolved by a regular DYK admin () – I assumed that was an implicit endorsement of my decision, but in hindsight I should probably have restored the discussion for at least as long as that set of DYK hooks were up. I should also have notified you or left a note on the article talk page.<p>Your suggestion to consider altering the hook instead of removing it completely is a good one. I don't really know what to tell about why I didn't at least try this yesterday – perhaps I was too conscious of it being a BLP issue. Regardless, it's something that I should have thought of and I apologise that I didn't. It's definitely something I will take on board for the future. Best, ] (]) 01:30, 8 September 2015 (UTC) | |||
| ::Thanks so much for your wonderful reply. It is a breath of fresh air after one recently-concluded DYK discussion I've been involved in all summer. I especially like being praised for being collegial, since I preach that so much. ] (]) 16:13, 8 September 2015 (UTC) | |||

I tried to help (as I imagine you do to), but I won't touch that intro with a ten-feet pole anymore, don't want any bad situations needlessly emerging, and I have already done a good bit (I would hope so) by sourcing all his honours so that they won't be removed. Your version is the one that current stands, I only made some itty-bitty adjustments now. | |||

| :No problem. Obviously you've done good work on the article, I hope there were no hard feelings about the change I made – everyone's writing can do with some looking over and I say that from personal experience. I also don't condone the attacks the other IP was making on you. Regardless of the point he was trying to make the way he was communicating it wasn't OK.

| :Hello. After a bit of digging I found out what you were after. I deleted ] because it was a ] to ], which is where the content was located. As you can see by clicking on that redlink, it has been deleted three times – each time because the reviewing administrator assessed it as being clear advertising/promotion and another time because it was felt the article didn't make a credible assertion of importance. Each page when nominated for deletion is judged on its merits, so the relative quality of other articles is largely irrelevant. If you want much more of a response, I'd suggest following up with one of the three admins listed in the deletion log for that page. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

| == A WP:THANK in text mode == | |||
| A quick thanks for this . It was a great way to take the actually useful part (providing a detailed rationale with no-consensus closes), and tie it back to ] and actual discussion-closing norms, from a suggestion that was floating off in 'I want to punish those who don't share my view that brevity is more important than accuracy' space. As someone pilloried frequently for not being as concise as some people would like, it's nice to see someone at a noticeboard not siding with the 'whoever compresses more wins' view (even if you're among those who think I'm too loquacious). <span style="white-space:nowrap;font-family:'Trebuchet MS'"> — ] ] ] ≽<sup>ʌ</sup>ⱷ҅<sub>ᴥ</sub>ⱷ<sup>ʌ</sup>≼ </span> 09:25, 12 September 2015 (UTC) | |||
| :Thanks! I really do appreciate the views I get at MRV, particularly from people uninvolved with the original discussion – it's almost the only forum where I get (largely) unbiased opinions on what I'm doing right and wrong as a closer, so I do try to take most things on board. If you were interested in becoming more of a 'regular' there, even if it was only dropping by once a month or so, we could use you. Your quick comment at the "Communist Party of Britain" has provided a useful point of discussion, for example. Cheers, ] (]) 15:20, 12 September 2015 (UTC) | |||
