Various Japanese emperors (and apparently one modern mystery writer and one historical province)

Hi IIO. Regarding this edit: you meant it as a rhetorical question, right? Assuming you did, I really didn't want to mess it up by answering on there, but your earlier !vote implied you hadn't checked the guideline yourself so I was a little concerned. Cheers! Hijiri 88 (やや) 15:21, 20 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

At the time I supported I hadn't checked the MOS, since I trust you to read it correctly, I have since checked and of course you did. No, my question was not rhetorical, I wanted the two users to look for themselves. But does [User:...] actually work as a "ping"? Last time I looked they hadn't come back. In ictu oculi (talk) 15:25, 20 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know. It does really annoy me when users show up once and make a flawed argument, then I demonstrate why it doesn't count, but they don't come back so it still ends with "no consensus". Hijiri 88 (やや) 15:35, 20 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Well - I've seen a different "ping" template - one that works better, but can't find it. I just notified Necrothesp on his/her talk page. In ictu oculi (talk) 15:48, 20 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I was wondering if you could help me. I am interested in uploading an image (to wiki commons) which is an illustration from hundreds of years ago (to enrich an article). I assume any such illustrations are in the public domain, are they not - due to their age? But how can I go about proving that the image in question is indeed that old, as the image source (an article) doesn't explicitly state the age/origin date (but the images themselves are pretty well known, which is how I know). Thank you. Kamoozida (talk) 00:49, 22 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I would name an approximate date and explain why in the UPLOADWIZARD comment box. Good luck. In ictu oculi (talk) 01:46, 22 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The above page is currently a GA nominee. I think it might not be unreasonable to have someone review it, possibly rather thoroughly. Oh, by the way, you really need to set for more frequent archiving of your user talk page. Over 100 threads on a single talk page is longer than I think I've seen pretty much anywhere. John Carter (talk) 17:34, 22 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry to subject you to this, but you may want to weigh in here Talk:Gospel of the Hebrews#Scope of this article and comment on the wisdom of bringing all the Aramaic/Hebrew gospel material back into this article. Ignocrates (talk) 19:05, 25 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
And, Ignocrates, if it is humanly possible for you, you might try to avoid making statements which seem to both violate WP:AGF and also jump to conclusions which are not necessarily supported by the evidence. You seem to have rather pronounced difficulties regarding both of those matters. John Carter (talk) 19:09, 25 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

For Your Information / Clarification

You wrote that no modern New Testament scholar supports the view that Matthew's Gospel was first written in Aramaic. I find this statement incredible. Although I respect your view, I am just curious to know what you think about the statement written in the book, The Gospel of Matthew, by co-authors Curtis Mitch and Edward Sri, p. 18, where we find these words:

I will answer this on the Talk:Gospel of Matthew. In ictu oculi (talk) 08:06, 27 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Slovenian Littoral

Obviously we are not moving this to the requested title, but it seems I was closing the request at the same moment you were commenting on a new destination. Do you want me to revert so the new name can be discussed in the context of the current discussion? (Or you could start a new discussion unencumbered by the other topic of the move, which might be more effective.)--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 02:02, 28 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the note. I think how you have closed it is fine, and cleaner. Cheers. In ictu oculi (talk) 02:07, 28 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Hmm, I had some kind of display error. I did not see the text box and your signature below it; the page simply cutoff after your initial "I don't really understand why it isn't at Primorska, since Primorska directs here", and so thought it was an unsigned comment. When I saved, however, I saw your whole post and was fooled into thinking you were posting simultaneously but I see you posted hours ago. I wrote this and then edit conflicted with the above. Comedy of errors.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 02:09, 28 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

(entertainer)

Hi In ictu - would you please stop changing disambiguators away from "(entertainer)"? When to use it is an unsettled question as you know, with RMs going both ways recently. It is certainly not uncontroversial. If you want to start an RfC on the issue, feel free, but otherwise I would suggest pursuing them as individual RMs for the time being until a clear consensus on the issue emerges. Thanks. Dohn joe (talk) 17:14, 29 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Dohn, I'm using my judgment as an editor. Most of those I have reverted have been undiscussed moves and very clearly counter sources. However you're welcome to revert per WP:BRD.
As for gone both ways. The simple one's haven't. You have been in a minority so far in supporting a neologism that is rarely or in some cases never used in printed sources. A balance has to be struck between leaving some (where it's justified), reverting some by WP:MOVE where it's obvious, and putting in WP:RM where there could be a case for merits on both sides.
As I say you can revert, but I recommend you run ["entertainer Name"] in Google Books before doing so. Ultimately we must follow the language and terms of reliable sources. In ictu oculi (talk) 17:30, 29 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Fair enough. I just wish that we could at least get on the same page about the word itself. This may be an ENGVAR or a native-speaker issue, but it is just not the case that "entertainer" is limited to court jesters and vaudevillians. A singer is an entertainer. An actor is an entertainer. And "entertainer" is especially helpful as a descriptor when someone is notable within multiple realms of entertainment: a model-dancer, or a comedian-actor. I've already shown you a dozen examples of both individuals and groups being called "entertainers" by highly reputable sources, from newspapers up to and including academic journals. I don't understand your continued reluctance to recognize that that sense of "entertainer" is widely accepted, and certainly not a neologism. Is "singer" preferable when someone is exclusively (or nearly) notable as a singer? Sure. But if someone is notable as both a singer and an actor, "(singer)" becomes less and less helpful. We could use "(singer/actor)", but "(entertainer)" is more consistent when applied to all subjects who are notable across disciplines, don't you think? Dohn joe (talk) 18:16, 29 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
We could, you could suggest it.
Otherwise we don't need to rehash the RMs. Yes you've found some cases where 3% or 5% of printed sources use "entertainer Fred" among 80% for "the singer Fred" - but that 3% or 5% fails WP:AT twice, both on recognition and precision. The reason that the (singer) dabs are being restored in RMs is that 80+% hits for "the singer Fred" show the printed language as it is.
So far I haven't observed any ENGVAR issue when Australian, Canadian, US, UK printed sources all avoid "entertainer Fred". :::The argument that you're applying would mean going through Category:American female singers and moving every (singer) to (entertainer). Why not merge Category:American female singers into Category:American female singers and be done with it?
Those are rhetorical questions by the way, they are to explain my view not, with respect, invite discussion here, now, that can wait. Ultimately printed sources will bring titles to something sensible. In ictu oculi (talk) 18:28, 29 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Wikipedia_talk:Naming_conventions_(people)#.28entertainer.29, I apologize for not making it clearer that the survey section was only for those who wished to participate in the survey, and that the discussion section was for more general comments such as yours. I hopefully made that clearer now. It wasn't meant to "hide" your comment, just manage the structure of the RfC. Hope there's no hard feelings. Dohn joe (talk) 18:58, 5 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The article David Goldsmith (actor) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Only two roles, clearly not notable

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Faye Wong albums

TransporterMan said that adding alternative names is discouraged, unless a name is proven to be significant by a reliable source. Would this apply to Faye Wong albums, like Please Myself and fuzao? --George Ho (talk) 14:55, 5 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @George Ho: no evidently not since in such a case Fuzao is the real title, the various English versions are just guesses. If there was an official title like Cui Jian's Balls Under the Red Flag then it would still need the Chinese. In ictu oculi (talk) 23:57, 5 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi In ictu. This edit went against WP:REFACTOR. You can't change the rationale of a comment after three other editors have responded to that comment. It skews the discussion. It makes it look like people have responded to comments that didn't exist when they were made. Please don't do this again. Dohn joe (talk) 04:30, 7 September 2013 (UTC) P.S. If you were thinking about comparing this action with my move of your comment at the WP:Naming conventions (people) discussion, please read WP:REFACTOR, which allows people some leeway in structuring a talkpage discussion. At the time I moved your comment, no one had yet responded to it. By the time you moved it back, multiple editors had. Moving left those comments dangling without context. Dohn joe (talk) 04:30, 7 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I wouldn't compare the addition of WP:AT guideline to a RM nomination as refactor of the RfC. Since the other two editors didn't even need it. But I am quite happy to place after your comment, as you are the only editor to whom the WP:CRITERIA 2 question applies. In ictu oculi (talk) 04:39, 7 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for moving it. I appreciate it. Dohn joe (talk) 04:47, 7 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Any comments regarding this closure? I moved to Good for Me (Amy Grant song), only to see it reverted. What's the point of a discussion if somebody else's POV is more important than consensus. And I am accused of pulling a trick! --Richhoncho (talk) 21:05, 10 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

@Richhoncho: Cuchullain's highly reasonable, I suspect it's just that there hasn't been much discussion of what "covered by" means in WP:DAB.

The Holy Incense

In ictu oculi, hi! My article on the Holy Incense was rejected on grounds that it sounded more like an essay than an encyclopedia article. I do not deny that it has an essay-like style, but this is larger due to my past writing experiences on other venues. In short, I am asking your advice on how to change the style and make the current article acceptable to the set-requirements of Wikipedia. Can you please suggest areas in which I can change the style and make it acceptable? Here is my article: User:Davidbena/draft article on Holy Incense . Which references should be deleted? Which Primary Sources - if any - can be saved? Thanks in advance. Davidbena (talk) 17:55, 26 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Replaceable fair use File:Belinda Cabo Verde.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Belinda Cabo Verde.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
  2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Tbhotch. Grammatically incorrect? Correct it!

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 Như Quỳnh (actress) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. 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 Wikipedia'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. Tbhotch. Grammatically incorrect? Correct it!

Just letting you know the account exists. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 13:25, 7 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page stalker) I just put a note on that user's Talk page that contains some remarks about their choice of user name. At first glance, the user's contributions appear to be constructive, and they seem already rather familiar with Wikipedia editing and community practices. (For example, by successfully creating a user page with a centered animated picture, making a properly formatted and competently worded remark on an AfD discussion, and eschewing excess capitalization.) But it might be better if they would choose a different account name to avoid confusion about who is doing editing. —BarrelProof (talk) 17:05, 7 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Như Quỳnh

The article literally said "Như Quỳnh (1954) is a Vietnamese actress.[1]". I have requested the speedy deletion of articles with more notability than this. WP:A7 perfectly applied and its initial deletion clearly demostrate it. You don't own the articles you create, and the lack of understanding of the CSD policy is incredible in an experienced editor like you. Tbhotch. Grammatically incorrect? Correct it! See terms and conditions. 03:37, 8 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It isn't an issue of owning articles, even though you went to the article and put a speedy on it because I created it as part of disambiguating the singer, WP:A7 requires a deleting editor to look at the interwiki link for sources in the local wikipedia language - you put a WP:A7 on a People's Artist with extensive filmography, leading roles in the 1970s and 1980s, and even roles in French-Vietnamese and South-Korean Vietnamese coproductions. I will add a note to WP:A7 if necessary. In ictu oculi (talk) 03:41, 8 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
"[E]ven though you went to the article and put a speedy on it because I created it as part of disambiguating the singer", can you prove it? If that were the truth, don't you think I would have reversed this. Also, there were no interwiki link. And I didn't put a A7 template on a "People's Artist with extensive filmography", because, once again, and *any* admin can verify this, the article that I requested deletion said "Như Quỳnh (1954) is a Vietnamese actress.[1]", I didn't request the deletion of this article, and .vi's demostrate why she is notable. The question is, why you didn't create an article like their's but you are here complaining about an article that was a re-phrase of the title. Wasn't better for a reader to read? this than "She is a Vietnamese actress"? Tbhotch. Grammatically incorrect? Correct it! See terms and conditions. 04:37, 8 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
You yourself said you went to that article because I created it here. In ictu oculi (talk) 04:49, 8 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, but the link doesn't prove that I "went to the article and put a speedy on it because [you] created it as part of disambiguating the singer", still defamation? Tbhotch. Grammatically incorrect? Correct it! See terms and conditions. 04:53, 8 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I think rather than ask myself, you'd better ask Richhoncho and GeorgeHo on the impression your action leaves, seeing as they have both commented on your AfDs on articles I created. What is certain is what you yourself said about why you went to the article. I have opened discussion on the Talk page of the WP:A7 CSD criteria itself. In ictu oculi (talk) 05:00, 8 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
As far as I know Rich hasn't and George's argument was weak, he even accepted that the page he tried to defend wasn't notable in WP:GNG terms. I don't know if he tried to help you or the page by !voting "keep", but this is not a democracy. Tbhotch. Grammatically incorrect? Correct it! See terms and conditions. 05:11, 8 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Tbhotch. I have already made my opinion of you known on another page so don't write as though I haven't commented, but just for the record I note 5 deletions listed above and made by you, together with the timestamp posted to this page:-
  1. Applause (Bonnie Franklin song) - 23:26, 4 October 2013
  2. Belinda (Cape Verdean singer) - 23:26, 4 October 2013
  3. File:Belinda Cabo Verde.jpg - 23:26, 4 October 2013
  4. Như Quỳnh (actress) 23:47, 4 October 2013
  5. Killer (Swiss band) - 18:02, 5 October 2013

There is no connection between 4 of the items, oh, save, one, they were created by the same editor. I also note that Tbhotch is not known for nominating for deletion, in fact hasn't made one nomination since the last one above. Therefore there is only logical explanation, you trawled through one editor's contributions with the intention of making mischief. Too late to assume good faith now. --Richhoncho (talk) 19:12, 8 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

RE: Kww

If we consider that the chance that I requested the deletion of an article, which was "intentionally a Vietnamese language stub in order that" I could request its deletion so you "could later complain about its deletion", possibly performed by any editor under A7 is almost nule, you should ask Kevin what does he mean with that accusation, because it seems to him that you created the article, which failed A7, to later complain the A7 process.

I would agree it is nil since it had already passed New Page Patrol 4 days earlier, I would take it up with him, but he seems quite trigger happy.

NGR Massacre

Thanks very much for yours at my User talk. To answer your questions, the belligerence and the point of view (make the No Gun Ri Massacre go away) are similar, but there's a decided difference in their interests, judging from their User pages etc., and Kauffner, as I recall, was more literate than the hamhanded Weldneck. The problem, as essentially a neophyte at Wikipedia, is to know how to blow the whistle on Weldneck, now that he has stooped to outright fabrications -- by adding nonexistent words to documentary sources -- and to wholesale deletion of well-sourced facts that disturb his point of view. Any suggestions? Thanks. Charles J. Hanley 11:55, 15 October 2013 (UTC) Cjhanley (talkcontribs)

I'd much appreciate any guidance you can offer on how to proceed to save the No Gun Ri Massacre article from further destruction. I posted a complaint a couple of weeks ago at the edit-warring noticeboard, where admin Mark Arsten suggested it belonged at the ANI noticeboard. He then, however, had second thoughts, and I've now refashioned the appeal, viewable at my sandbox. I'm not sure Arsten can or will deal with it. Any advice? As I point out in the appeal, this is not a simple matter of citing "four reverts" and matching them up with the previous texts, to win automatic censure, but instead we're dealing with a major, broad attack via dozens of destructive edits, heedless of efforts to point out the facts. Any thoughts would be most welcome. Thanks very much. Charles J. Hanley 14:16, 31 October 2013 (UTC) Cjhanley (talkcontribs)

Thanks for yours at my Talk page. Would you suggest that I post that appeal at that NPOV board? And-or ask one of those POV specialists you mentioned directly, via his Talk page, to intervene? Much appreciated. (By the way, no one contends the No Gun Ri killings were accidental. The refugee throng was targeted; the U.S. Army would contend it was believed there were enemy among them.)

Ambiguous titles

Thanks for creating Raising of the widow of Zarephath's son. I note that the title is formally ambiguous, though maybe it wouldn't confuse anybody. But it could mean the raising of the widow of the son of Zarephath, or else the raising of the son of the widow of Zarephath. It's the same with Raising of the widow of Nain's son - was it Nain's daughter-in-law who was raised? StAnselm (talk) 10:24, 25 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

By the way, regarding Dorcas, she has a feast day in the Episcopal Church, as well as Dorcas Societies named after her. That indicates the article should be about the person rather than the event. StAnselm (talk) 10:29, 25 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Re Zarephath/Nain good point, I had thought this was less stiff wording, however the phrase occurse in printed sources "raising of the son of the widow of Nain" more than the other. These can both be switched around.
Re Dorcas, less sure that's a good point, NPOV would tend to not doing that. But fair enough it would be a RM decision. Happy with your revert. In ictu oculi (talk) 10:32, 25 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Zheng Jun Naked.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Zheng Jun Naked.jpg.

Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion.

Replaceable fair use File:Zheng Jun Naked.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Zheng Jun Naked.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
  2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Saint Bertold, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Crusader (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.

Anthrax (band)

I notice that you removed the entry for Anthrax (band) in the list of PDAB article redirects. But Anthrax (band) is still a redirect to Anthrax (American band), so I think it still belongs in the list. —BarrelProof (talk) 03:37, 11 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Now I notice that this wasn't in the list of redirects – it was in the list of articles. So I added it to the list of redirects. —BarrelProof (talk) 03:45, 11 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Autopatrolled removed

I have removed the autopatrolled flag from your user rights, as it seems you're using the flag as a way to sneak articles under the radar that would not pass our policy on speedy deletion. Once you've shown the community that you understand our policies on the proper creation of articles and policies on speedy deletion, I or another admin will gladly turn the flag back on. If you have any questions or concerns please let me know. Thank you for your anticipated cooperation. Coffee // have a cup // essay // 22:23, 18 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I have created 1,000s of articles - many of which started as stubs or starts - which are all still there, many developed by myself and other editors well beyond stub. I take WP:IDEALSTUB as the reference point for creating a stub. If, specifically, the three articles above do not pass policy on speedy deletion then why have you submitted them to AFD rather than placed a speedy deletion tag? In ictu oculi (talk) 00:39, 19 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

On a related matter, I've taken the liberty of restoring the Genie Pace article, userifying it to my own space and bringing it up for discussion at WT:CSD - I think it's a good discussion subject for the next 24 hours about those "claims of significance". It is obviously not my intention to hijack your work in any fashion, I hope you'll forgive me for "borrowing" it as a test case for a while. If you wish it to go back straight to mainspace, I'd be grateful if you would just amend the link to it on WT:CSD, though. MLauba (Talk) 16:56, 19 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, been a while. Is this badly wrong? There is a fair amount of scholarly literature to go on, if it is not coming out back to front. Charles Matthews (talk) 21:58, 21 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Living for the Weekend

Hi In ictu oculi,

You recently initiated a move request for the albums/songs titled "Living for the Weekend". This move has been partially carried out, but due to lack of consensus over the album versions, I have started a new request for those specifically, at Talk:Livin' for the Weekend: The Anthology. Please feel free to comment there if you so desire. Thanks  — Amakuru (talk) 11:10, 22 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Your comment at Yunshui's talk

None of the last 25 protection log entries for WP:AN, dating back to October 2011, involve full edit protection; the only thing that requires admin rights is moving the page. Nyttend (talk) 14:32, 27 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

User:Nyttend, strange maybe it was my own PC, I made an edit and it didn't take. Thank you for earlier also. In ictu oculi (talk) 15:58, 27 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Hi. I noticed that a couple of comments you added on WP:AN were inadvertently deleted by someone trying to fix a different problem, so I restored them. I think this is likely the explanation for your edits not taking. Cheers, Bovlb (talk) 17:20, 29 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Deal with the Devil (2013 Pop Evil song)

Hello IIO, I notice that "Deal with the Devil (song)" was moved to "Deal with the Devil (Onyx song)", even though New York music ensemble Onyx has never produced a notable song by this name. I think that "Deal with the Devil (2013 Pop Evil song)" [or a truncated version thereof] would be a much better title for the article. What are your thoughts on this? --Jax 0677 (talk) 04:58, 28 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks!

I appreciate what you're doing with the song articles tonight. Drink It Down for instance is an signal improvement over whatever was there before, from a musicological and encyclopedic standpoint.

As a practical matter, Wikipedians will not go for moving (say) BlatherPop (song) to BlatherPop (Mickey Moron and the Cretins song) and so forthy unless and until there's another article for a song with the same name already existing. I think people should be a bit flexible about that, but they're not. So in cases like the One Drop (song) deal I suppose it's necessary to create the other article first, even if it's a one-sentence placeholder for the time being. I fixed up the situation there though.

It gets kind of random. If Drink It Down (L'Arc-en-Ciel song) had already existed as a redirect (as was the case with One Drop (KAT-TUN song)), then I suppose you would have to name your article One Drop (drinking song) or One Drop (folk song) or something, then requested (at WP:RMT) an uncontested move of the existing Drink It Down (which would have been about the L'Arc-en-Ciel song) over to Drink It Down (L'Arc-en-Ciel song). Then you'd have to recreate the article Drink It Down as a redirect to both songs. (Or, if you wanted to try, make that case that your "Drink It Down" is the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC for that phrase so that One Drop (drinking song) should be move to Drink It Down. But you probably wouldn't win that argument.)

Carry on and fear no darkness. Herostratus (talk) 04:44, 30 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

User:Herostratus, thanks for the words. I think it is only pop music where this interpretation of titling is much of an issue, as noted before no one has ever argued for "primary (footballer)" and so on. See Hurricane at WT:DAB. Thanks again. In ictu oculi (talk) 12:22, 30 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure why you brought this up. If you think you can bait me into violating my I-ban, it's not going to happen. Please move on. Ignocrates (talk) 02:08, 1 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I wasn't aware of your ban, I just didn't view the answer John gave to me as "tendentious". In ictu oculi (talk) 02:11, 1 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
See WP:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Ebionites 3#Remedies. Ok, let's leave it at that. I could use your help making further improvements to the GHeb article, since PiCo seems to be all but retired at this point. Ignocrates (talk) 02:17, 1 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I was totally unaware of all of this. It's a great shame User:John Carter has relinquished admin status. In ictu oculi (talk) 02:30, 1 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I strongly disagree! No shame involved. The action taken by Ignocrates was a long time coming and totally justified. The result was more than fair.

Nomination of Forbidden Fruit (Noël Coward song) for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Forbidden Fruit (Noël Coward song) is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Forbidden Fruit (Noël Coward song) until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. © Tbhotch (en-2.5). 07:05, 3 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Warning icon Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to use disruptive, inappropriate or hard-to-read formatting, as you did at Forbidden Fruit (Noël Coward song), you may be blocked from editing. There is a Wikipedia Manual of Style, and edits should not deliberately go against it without special reason. © Tbhotch (en-2.5). 08:19, 3 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Instead of threatening you could simply link to MOS:ITAL to explain what you are up to. It is something of a memory game to many of us to remember books (italics), films (italics), television series (italics), computer and video games (italics) software (no italics), music albums (italics), paintings (italics), songs (no italics), television episodes (no italics), and threatening to get an admin to block someone for having confused album (italics) song (no italics) is disturbing. In ictu oculi (talk) 08:40, 3 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I already did it many times, but you are in your "I will ignore this bastard" mode, warns are the only way to make you stop and read. Also, you've been here for four years and defend the MOS in multiple ways, now result you don't have any idea what goes in italics? That's common sense and it is learnt in primary school. © Tbhotch (en-2.5). 08:45, 3 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Tbhotch

NB  Both of these posts constitute a continuance of aggressive behaviour by Tbhotch. I have deleted previous messages and copied them back to the originator, however I'm leaving this one here. A false allegation to a pop music admin, led to the admin understanding that I had created a Vietnam biography deliberately so that Tbhotch could place a speedy deletion tag and then I would question speedy deletion tag usages, whatever the intention led to the pop music admin believing this (which constitutes paranormal powers of prophecy on my part) and waving his block stick. I don't think that admin will do the same again, since it was shown to be ridiculous, but it's possible Tbhotch will try it with another admin. All this because of the a couple of song editors campaign against WP:DAB WP:PDAB WP:NCM etc. In ictu oculi (talk) 08:32, 3 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I only can read is "I can't superate that Vientamese actress deletion and I later my point was refused at WT:CSD". BTW, from now I inform you in the following weeks I will open a thread to discuss your editing and anti-social behaviour at WP:ANI. It will take me weeks to compilate all this evidence, so prepare yourself to justify such actions. © Tbhotch (en-2.5). 08:45, 3 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Noted but, one of the things you should be aware of is that who follows whom to which articles is a critical part of such analysis. It will be difficult to demonstrate that you arrived at the various articles I have created such as the Vietnamese bio randomly. Alternatively you could just stop following me around.
