Eggplant/aubergine

Hello, I see you moved "Eggplant" to "Aubergine/Eggplant". Though of course this plant and vegetable have different names in different parts of the world, WP policy says that we choose one of the variants and stick with it. Please see WP:TITLE and WP:ENGVAR. --macrakis (talk) 18:02, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

July 2011

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Misplaced Pages. It appears that you recently tried to give Where's Waldo? (comic strip) a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut and paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is needed for attribution and various other purposes. Instead, the software used by Misplaced Pages has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page. This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Misplaced Pages:Cut and paste move repair holding pen. Thank you.

Catalan independence

Hey, very minor heads-up here. I've taken the liberty to adjust the quoted titles and move target in your request to reflect that actual, correct capitalization (e.g. "Welsh independence", not "Welsh Independence"). --213.196.210.189 (talk) 17:26, 5 December 2012 (UTC)

Catalan independence

Hi FOARP, and thanks for closing discussion at Talk:Catalan independentism#Requested move. As you may know, RM has a big backlog, so non-admin closures help move the process along. You're probably ok in this case, but it's generally not considered appropriate to close your own RM, however. See Misplaced Pages:Requested moves/Closing instructions#Non-admin closure for full instructions. Also, when you close an RM as move, you'll want to use the {{db-move}} template if you can't do so yourself. I've done that for you in this case. Thanks again. --BDD (talk) 16:25, 13 December 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for January 28

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Shark Island Extermination Camp, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Aus (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Scramble for Africa

Hi FOARP, Thanks for the addition to Scramble for Africa, looks good. Do you have some reliable sources you can add to your section? The main articles that are referred to lack inline references too, making it hard to verify the content at the moment. Thanks in advance, let me know if you need help! Pim Rijkee (talk) 13:19, 10 May 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads-up. Yeah, the rebellions against German rule were an important part of the Scramble for Africa and deserve mention, but the sources on them are a bit thin on the ground. I was hoping that the refs in the main articles might be enough, but having looked at them they need a lot of work also. The Herero Wars page was re-established after too many people complained that a re-direct to page on the German genocide of the Herero obscurred that fact that it had been a war, but it wasn't much more than a stub when it was merged with the Herero genocide page back in 2006. The Maji-Maji rebellion page is slightly better, but still not all that great.

I'm finding The Revolt of The Herero by Jon M. Bridgman a good source for the Herero Wars, but I don't have a good one for Maji-Maji - I remember Pakenham's The Scramble For Africa had a chapter on it but I don't have my copy of it with me. Do you have it? FOARP (talk) 13:36, 10 May 2013 (UTC)

Had a quick look if I coulf find something, but I'm not well known with the topic, honestly. Hope you find something to add! Regards, Pim Rijkee (talk) 19:58, 10 May 2013 (UTC)

Shark Island

The discussion and vote was about the article name, which remains unchanged. As to other less used descripitions of the camp it has been named both death camp and extermination camp by some authors(and as death camp by German soldiers themselves. The Nature of Heritage: The New South Africa by Lynn Meskell on Page 1872 calls it as world's first extermination camp the world's first extermination camp on Shark Island. --MyMoloboaccount (talk) 20:53, 29 October 2013 (UTC)

Your comment at WP:AN about not rising to baiting by my detractors was a kick to the head I really needed. Not rising is working out much better. Regards, Wee Curry Monster talk 18:23, 18 November 2013 (UTC)

Glad to hear it. Looking forward to seeing your topic-ban removal request - just so long as you stick to the positive side of the argument (i.e., you've done good work on Wiki), I don't see how they could keep it in place. FOARP (talk) 11:52, 19 November 2013 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Runemaster (game)

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Runemaster (game) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), web content or organised event, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. ~ | twsx | _cont | ~ 15:39, 23 January 2014 (UTC)
