Misplaced Pages

White Serbs

Thank you. I was too busy to nominate it for deletion, and it is better when articles aren't tagged for too long. -- Zz (talk) 15:24, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

Stuart Ford history

Notsowiseowl (talk) 22:17, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

Okay, you've demonstrated to me that he exists. There is still the issue of whether he meets Misplaced Pages's guidelines for inclusion, specifically Misplaced Pages:Notability (people). Please opine on that matter at the deletion discussion page, Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Stuart Ford. Other contributors to the deletion discussion may not see the comments you leave here. —KuyaBriBri 22:37, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

article title

Hi Kuyabribri, thanks for making me aware of that deletion. In fact, my ultimate aim is to change the title of Invasion of Tibet (1950–1951) to a more neutral one. However, its habitual usage and some users' position on Misplaced Pages make it almost impossible. I happen to find a sentence in Misplaced Pages:Article titles (“Titles which are considered inaccurate descriptions of the article subject, as implied by reliable sources, are often avoided even though it may be more common.”), could you please tell me if it might help me somehow, as I don't know well all wiki rules? Thank you.--LaGrandefr (talk) 23:39, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

I only got involved in this because the original nominator incorrectly created an AfD discussion when RfD was the appropriate venue, and I intend to remain neutral in the discussion. That being said, in response to your question/concern, if you can demonstrate that there is some usage of the term "restoration of Tibet" to refer to this event, you should cite it in your "keep" argument. I've done a quick search on "Chinese restoration of Tibet" and "restoration of Tibet" and have only found this redirect on Misplaced Pages.

One comparison point I can think of offhand would be the various names for the American Civil War. Several POV names for this war such as War of Northern Aggression and War of the Rebellion exist as redirects to the fork article Naming the American Civil War, but in each of those cases there is reliable source evidence that each of these terms is used by some group to refer to the American Civil War.

Another comparison point I can think of would be the POV names for the Iraq War that exist as redirects, such as Iraqnam and Vietnam War II. In both of those cases a Google search shows that some group uses those terms to refer to that conflict.

I am not as well-versed in RfD as I am in AfD, so I don't really have any indication as to how am admin might judge this debate. —KuyaBriBri 15:21, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

I've never tried thinking of renaming Invasion of Tibet (1950–1951), knowing that it's practically an impossible mission, though the title is evidently over abiased. Chinese restoration of Tibet is created to balance a little the controversial title, and I don't think it's necessary to apply Misplaced Pages:OR on a redirect page. However, “Chinese restoration of Tibet” may still find its equivalence in Chinese sources, i.e. “西藏回归中国” or “中国收复西藏”, and we can then find plenty of usage.--LaGrandefr (talk) 23:01, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

Its a malformed nomination

I do apologise I am still learning how to use AFD properly but it was an attempt at a nomination for deletion

DYK nomination of Bobo (gorilla)

Hello! Your submission of Bobo (gorilla) at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and there still are some issues that may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) underneath your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! Marylanderz (talk) 17:12, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

Woody Woodward

I think your suggestion that Woody Woodward (baseball) be moved to Woody Woodward is an excellent one. I'm sorry that we seem to be working at cross-purposes. I spent far too much time changing internal links from Woody Woodward to Woody Woodward (baseball manager), only to realize that the page had moved to Woody Woodward (baseball). D'oh!

Uninformative deletion summaries

Sorry, I'm trying to be clearer in my summaries these days.

It was a request for a pagemove (to remedy a miscapitalization); that was dealt with. DS (talk) 15:56, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

Snurricane

Hey Kuyabribri--just wanted to thank you for stepping in on Snurricane and providing guidance as to the next step to take on getting the article evaluated... I'd been looking to see how to short-circuit the edit war over the prod tags, but AfD didn't come to mind for some reason. Thanks so much for pointing out the appropriate procedure--I'll be sure to keep it in mind for the future if any cases like this arise again! -- Tehae (talk) 20:58, 24 February 2010 (UTC)

WP:PROD nomination of Silicone Power Battery

While you make some good points in the nomination, sources not being in English is not considered a valid deletion reason. While English sources are certainly preferred, they are not required. For future reference, Google Translate does a fairly good job with Chinese, you can usually at least get the general idea. Beeblebrox (talk) 21:25, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the link. I pulled up those two sources and found they only mention the article subject in passing, so I still stand behind my prod. I'll try to remember Google Translate from now on. —KuyaBriBri 21:36, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

09 WS

Thanks for the Paterson update! As someone who has looked at that article a fair amount, think it's ready for another run at FAC? I addressed the issues raised in the last attempt, but it just sort of petered out, and it's since become a GA. Staxringold _talk 20:27, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

I'm okay with going for another FA run. I'm currently in the process of doing some CE on the article. I'll probably have a little more to clean up on the Paterson section when I get back to it. —KuyaBriBri 20:51, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Doom Troopers

Re: Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/David C. Hëwitt

Kuyabribri - Thanks for the concern. At the time I relisted the article, I personally did not feel there was consensus, although a delete will probably be the outcome. Trust me, if nothing changes in a day or two, another admin will come along and delete it. Thanks--Mike Cline (talk) 19:30, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

Roger Stritmatter:Backup/Oxfordian Theory

Please proceed with deletion if you have not already done so. The article has been archived through the appropriate means. Sorry for any confusion; I wanted to make sure it would be kept for future reference, but wasn't sure how to do it properly.--BenJonson (talk) 19:42, 20 March 2010 (UTC)

Asha Parekh filmography

The reason I had a separate page is because Asha Parekh shouldn't have all of the films on it. Someone added my filmography to her article but I think people with such large filmographies should be separated. gren グレン 05:56, 28 March 2010 (UTC)

I have some information for you

Regarding the recent edits of User:Stan Simmons (contribs)... There is evidence that suggests the user could be a sock of User:Paul Harald Kaspar/Chadbryant. 19:18, 31 March 2010 (UTC)

Would you like to open an SPI? —KuyaBriBri 19:36, 31 March 2010 (UTC)

I would but I always seem to have a hard time with the format. Could you assist me in the matter? I've also contacted the User:Yamla about this issue. 19:42, 31 March 2010 (UTC)

I can't do it right now but I'll work on it when I have time. —KuyaBriBri 19:50, 31 March 2010 (UTC)

I should also note that Yamla identifies as semi-retired, so he/she may not respond quickly. —KuyaBriBri 19:52, 31 March 2010 (UTC)

See Misplaced Pages:Sockpuppet investigations/Paul Harald Kaspar. Please weigh in as well. —KuyaBriBri 20:45, 31 March 2010 (UTC)

Thank you! Much appreciated. 01:19, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
