You prodded this article on 3 September. I have deprodded for the sole reason of including it in a batch AfD nomination of related articles, ], some of which have been previously deprodded. Your comments at the AfD are invited. ] (]) 10:00, 5 September 2021 (UTC)

== British Rail Locomotive 02 001 ==

I see you've nominated my page talking about British Rail Locomotive 02 001 for deletion, but I just got a second notification telling me it's been reviewed, does that mean it isn't nominated anymore, also could you please tell me how to improve the article to prevent future articles on similar topics (which I plan to make a shed load of) from also being nominated for deletion, Thanks
* Individual locomotives or vehicles are rarely notable, and will need multiple reliable sources discussing ''those individual vehicles in depth'' to sustain an article (not just mentioning their existence, as you could find that for pretty much any locomotive). I am sure you can understand why that is, given that otherwise we could end up with an article on every locomotive that has ever existed. ] 11:52, 5 September 2021 (UTC)

Hi
As per the comment at ANI, I propose to unclose and re-close this RfC as consensus for Option C. Please let me know if you have any major objections to this. ] 20:10, 4 September 2021 (UTC)
:Hi BK, my apologies, real life (tm) decided to interrupt more important things like editing Misplaced Pages : )

:As for the discussion, I guess the AN/I is now archived, but the fast answer is that as I look now, even if we are to ignore the discussion, I believe I see 6:6 (if we just count heads) I think I may have mistakenly counted Herostratus twice last time, but whatever. I think it's within the norms of closer discretion (normally I'd pull quotes from policy etc etc, but I think you're well aware of what I'm referring to). I could go more into why I said it was a weak consensus, and also about the edit history of the page etc etc, but again, I think you're aware of what has been going on. And I'm not going to bother addressing the histrionics towards me at this point - merely par for the course. Though someone should probably reinforce the idea to ATS that reverting a close they don't like in the way they did is not appropriate. I realise that a typical response could have been to WP:RBI, but, I decided not to (which I suppose is supported by the second to last paragraph on that page), and to bring the this before the community instead.

:Anyway, if you would like to accept responsibility for the close and such, please feel free to revert and implement your own close. If you would like clarity on any of the above, please feel free to ask. Happy editing. - <b>]</b> 21:31, 5 September 2021 (UTC)

Hi, I'm an administrator here, and have been since 2007. I'll try to answer any questions here as soon as I can, though I do have periods where I'm not available. For admins: if you think I've done something really f***ing stupid and I don't respond to a question about it, please feel free to reverse it ... we can work it out later on.
For Talk Page Archives, click here.
If you email me via Misplaced Pages, please leave me a note here (unless there's a good reason you do not want that fact to be public). I do check my Misplaced Pages email fairly regularly, but not that regularly.

ANI#Revert against consensus

Greetings, Black Kite!

jc37 has not edited since making this "report" and it has been four days. Should we continue to wait, or may I prevail upon you to correct a bad close? TIA. —ATS (talk) 21:01, 3 September 2021 (UTC)

Much obliged. —ATS (talk) 21:42, 4 September 2021 (UTC)

User Spy-cicle has used the bad close to revert to the false consensus. Action here would be appreciated. —ATS (talk) 16:31, 6 September 2021 (UTC)

George VI's titles & honours.

Howdy, Black Kite. Would you mind looking in at List of titles and honours of George VI & it's talkpage? Perhaps help out an IP, who seems a little confused about Misplaced Pages's rules. PS - I'm taking your advice, to assume IPs have good intentions. GoodDay (talk) 18:34, 5 September 2021 (UTC)

I don't know if they are or not. @Peter Ormond: & @DeCausa: may have a better assessment of the situation. I do know, the IP's jumping back-and-forth between his IP & registered account, claiming techno problems. To be honest, it's kinda confusing what the IP is trying to accomplish. GoodDay (talk) 18:44, 5 September 2021 (UTC)
Which is the registered account? KosomPolskii? I only ask as that account appears to be Polish and the IP geolocates to India. Black Kite (talk) 18:47, 5 September 2021 (UTC)
Yup, that's the registered account. GoodDay (talk) 18:54, 5 September 2021 (UTC)

Block Evasion?

Noted that Ifidont has an extended block on Ayurveda. On NPP, I encountered this page Glossary of Ayurveda which is incomplete, and in my estimation, a form of block evasion. You may wish to consider. Hope this helps. --Whiteguru (talk) 09:56, 7 September 2021 (UTC)

I came here to note that as well, they created this article twice, the first time it was moved to Draft:Glossary of Ayurveda and then they recreated it and I moved it to Draft:Glossary of Ayurveda 2. Just thought you should know. Liz 01:40, 8 September 2021 (UTC)
