I'm not going to correct the title of the track again, since you'll obviously just keep changing it back to the incorrect "Michelle Ma Belle". But I wouldn't mind if you could give me a reason why you keep doing so...

Hello Bookworm, probably you wanted to create your archive at User_talk:Bookworm857158367/Archive 1. Regards --Oxymoron⁸³ 23:30, 12 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Do you want me to delete your now created archive, so that you are able to move Talk:Bookworm857158367/Archive 1 there, this will preserves the page history at the proper place? Regards --Oxymoron⁸³ 23:42, 12 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

DYK next update

Sorry that I undid your clearing on the next update, but I was just beginning to credit the articles from the round that you removed. I'm done crediting now, so you can add the next update if you wish. Royalbroil 06:26, 13 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Separate issue, same subject

It made it in. See this edit. I suppose you're on one of the US time zones, so it probably was added and replaced while you were asleep (it has happened to me, too). Daniel Case (talk) 15:15, 29 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

actually, i don't think that's the case - if it were, those articles would all be appearing in the DYK archive by now, and they're not. J. Van Meter (talk) 16:31, 29 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I might have forgotten to add them to the archive, then. Will do. Daniel Case (talk) 18:10, 29 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Done. The update after me was done by another admin who probably didn't realize the hooks hadn't been archived (this is done manually, not automatically). So, believe me, they were on the main page all right (you can review the history at T:DYK), just during the early morning hours US time. Daniel Case (talk) 18:21, 29 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Space after ellipsis

When you moved El Buscón from here to here, you added a space after the ellipsis. That is, "...that" became "... that". Although there is no formal rule about a space after an ellipsis, there is an informal standard, and we get complaints at WP:ERRORS when we forget. I suppose it would be OK if all the hooks had a space after the ellipsis, but adding the space just once in a while is what draws complaints. I removed the space. I also removed similar spaces on the Main Page a few hours ago (but I didn't look to see who inserted them). Art LaPella (talk) 04:09, 14 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Romanov Remains

It would appear that the preliminary report of 22 January 2008 is based on credible scientific analysis of the remains of Alexis and Anastasia/Marie. I would suggest that this information remain undisturbed until the release of the final details later this year. I hope you will respect this. Already there has been an attempt by some person to remove such details. They need to realise removing verified information is not acceptable. I hope you will support this whatever your feelings may be on Anna Anderson. Finneganw 15:02, 23 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I came here to thank you, Bookworm, for your revised edits to the preliminary report which are actually verifiable. Just to address the point made above, the portion I was attempting to delete was a violation of WP:NOT#CRYSTALBALL section 3, dealing with future history, because the section included speculation as to the meaning of the results. --Veritas (talk) 15:09, 23 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Snezana (name), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process.

Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised.

Speedy deletion of Rais, Martyr

A tag has been placed on Rais, Martyr 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 or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Rais, Martyr

What exactly made you think that an article about an Eastern Orthodox and Roman Catholic saint, with a reference provided, is not notable? --Bookworm857158367 (talk) 15:29, 25 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This is what i would like to call a border borderline case. Personally i doubt that the WP:BIO criteria are met, since the references provided for this article are not exactly Neutral. Then again, i merely tagging pages for CSD, by which rationale its better to tag one page extra, then one page to little. In fact, i got to admit that i was interested in what the action of the reviewing administrator would be, as i know of no specific ruling for these cases(If a tag is rejected, the history always sites what rules apply). Excirial^{(Talk,Contribs)} 15:48, 25 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

After Re-Reading the article, i removed the speedy tag. There is simply no way this is warranted in its current form. Sorry for the trouble! Excirial^{(Talk,Contribs)} 15:53, 25 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Greg Sanders Article

I was going through various CSI history pages to try and scoop out a vandal who's been hitting alot of the character pages and on the Greg Sanders page I saw that you made a number of edits to revert "Gregory" back to "Greg". If I recall correctly, in "The Ultimate CSI" his name is printed as Gregory. Maybe I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure that's what it says. I'm going to check out the book and revert it back if it is indeed "Gregory". Please post any comments concerning this subject on my talk page. Yours truly, Broadway4life155 (talk) 00:15, 8 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Anna Anderson latest vandalism

The latest culprit, 68.etc., whose vandalism you have thankfully reverted, has been warned about his/her behaviour previously.

Longfellow

Could you explain why "The Children's Hour" is so important that you deem it necessary to include it in the lede? As the lede is supposed to sum up the article, the article should mention this poem to merit inclusion in the lede. It does not... I'd also suggest that three works cover enough ground in that opening paragraph and, it seems to me, the most well-known works are the best option. I'm having a hard time seeing why you want to push for it so much and I don't want to be involved with an edit war, so I figured I'd ask. Thanks! --Midnightdreary (talk) 14:02, 2 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You'll excuse my bias as I'm not familiar with the poem (and I'm sorta protective of the article because it took substantial work to get it to GA status). Might I recommend we find a way to mention it specifically in the body of the article? Even if not in the lede, it does seem to merit some kind of mention in the article. --Midnightdreary (talk) 16:31, 2 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I for one tend to think of "The Skeleton in Armor" pretty quickly when I think of Longfellow. But, maybe our exposure to him has changed over generations? To answer your question, I currently wear neither of those hats! --Midnightdreary (talk) 19:33, 2 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Allegra Byron

I looked at your new reference, and couldn't find any reference to "murder" in it, only a reference to an "executioner". So I couldn't use your preferred hook. I promoted the article with your other hook instead. If there'd been more time, we might have discussed it some more, but in my experience once a hook is approved it tends to get used, and I figured you'd like to have your article featured in the number one spot, which would not be assured if I left it to someone else.

Allesandro de Medici

"Acknowledged" by who? Certainly not by him, nor by most historians, i would have thought. Like the early medieval Scottish King nicknamed the Black, a great pile of speculation has been loaded onto a nickname. Johnbod (talk) 00:28, 15 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No doubt i will some time - there is one, maybe more, modern historian who has taken the nickname/gossip seiously, and a whole pile of black studies and other writers who have followed up on him, but I don't think most specialist Renaissance historians are very convinced. The portraits are supposed to be prime evidence, and they aren't terribly convincing, are they? Johnbod (talk) 01:12, 15 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, this guy (quoted by an opponent on one of your refs) certainly is an art historian:"In the only reference to the Duke's color in the entire 173-page catalogue of the Philadelphia exhibit, Karl Strehlke, the curator and organizer writes, "Some scholars have claimed that Alessandro's mother was a North African slave. This cannot be confirmed, however, and the text of a letter that she wrote to her son in 1529 suggests that she was an Italian peasant from Lazio." " It is misleading to treat the matter as generally accepted. Johnbod (talk) 01:34, 15 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've seen your helpful additions to name articles, and am inviting you to join Wikipedia:WikiProject Anthroponymy, which is seeking to improve the consistency and quality of articles about human names.

I note that you added information on the name to Amalia, which is a disambiguation page. As there is a separate article about this name, Amalia (given name), this info is not needed there as well, especially not the category, so I have reverted those two edits.

There is one reference, which does not imply notability.

As you objected to the prod, I shall take this to AFD. Hammer Raccoon (talk) 12:59, 5 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry you object to the AFD, but I'm not the only who has seen fit to delete this before, and I think a community discussion is the best way to settle this. Hammer Raccoon (talk) 14:59, 5 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

All further discussion would probably best be carried out over at the AFD. Hammer Raccoon (talk) 18:07, 5 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for asking my opinion. I recommend making a table of the statistics, and merging the article into Aidan. The rhyming name articles should then have a link to that section in Aidan.
As for the significance of the phenomenon: just because one observer called it a millenial megatrend doesn't make it so. I heard a famous journalist explain his job as "first select, then exaggerate." - Fayenatic (talk) 06:31, 6 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Just a quick note of support about the Aidan rhyming trend article. I am disappointed that so many people seem to think it deserves immediate deletion. They seem to have a very different view of what "encyclopaedic" means. When people delete my content and tell me it is un-encyclopaedic, I find it maddening. Don't let them get you down.

Please desist in your so-called revisions to the Anna Anderson page. You are not improving it in the slightest. What you have been doing is removing verifiable quotes. That is not the wikipedia way. In fact it could be seen quite clearly as vandalism. In fact what you are doing is revealing yourself clearly as a pro-Anna Anderson fanatic removing information that clearly shows she was a total fraud. I had thought much better of you.

Tsesarevich vs. Tsarevich

According to Wikipedia, Tsarevich is a title used for any son of the Tsar, while Tsesarevich is a substantive title used only for the eldest son of the Tsar, and that's what Alexei was. Alexei, Tsarevich of Russia is as wrong as Charles, Prince of the United Kingdom. It should be either Tsarevich Alexei Nikolaevich of Russia or Alexei Nikolaevich, Tsesarevich of Russia (the other option follows Wikipedia's naming conventions). Surtsicna (talk) 16:43, 31 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I am sorry for moving the page with discussion. I thought that users intended to distinguish his status as heir by moving the article to X, Title of Y. If you disagree with using Tsesarevich, then I propose Grand Duke Alexei Nikolaevich of Russia since his sisters are Grand Duchess X of Y. Surtsicna (talk) 17:56, 31 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Then move him to Tsarevich Alexei Nikolaevich of Russia! Just get rid of the current title, which is the most inappropriate. Surtsicna (talk) 18:35, 31 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You cannot go by the most familiar name if that name is factually inaccurate. Princess Diana is the most familiar name for Lady Diana Spencer, yet we cannot call her Princess Diana because she was princess by marriage - thus Princess Charles. 'Name, Title of Place' is format used for substantive titles and tsarevich is not a substantive title (another example is Prince William of Wales, who cannot be called William, Prince of Wales). That article needs to be moved immediately either to Tsarevich Alexei Nikolaevich of Russia or Alexei Nikolaevich, Tsesarevich of Russia. Surtsicna (talk) 10:20, 1 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please explain your reasons for reverting my image change on Mary (given name) with a clear rationale. I had discussed that on the talk page. Else I will have to revert your change. Thanks History2007 (talk) 19:59, 19 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I did not say the art in itself was wrong, for there is very little wrong or right in art. But that the image did not convey reverence, as the caption suggested. So there is an inconsistency.

And your statement that "I prefer it" seems to imply that others need to follow your personal tastes - not a Wikipedia policy really. But it is not really a question of taste but logic here. I am not attached to the Boticelli, but think the image and the caption should match. My suggestion: Please find another image yourself on commons that matches the caption by implying reverence and use that. Then the inconsistency will vanish. Else I can try several images. I have seen that you like to do reverts elsewhere, but let us not make this world war 4, and arrive at a peaceful resolution by your selecting another image that you feel works, but also matches the caption. Thanks. History2007 (talk) 08:28, 20 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I will follow the suggestion you made on my talk page. Keep the Rosetti image on the page, but attach the Boticelli to the infobox text that says reverence. Thank you for being cooperative on this issue. History2007 (talk) 16:08, 20 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Anna Anderson

I would hope you will have the sense to avoid further vandalising the Anna Anderson page placing in inaccurate information and discredited sources. You should be aware that wikipedia does not support the inclusion of discredited material in the form of references. It is fact that Anderson was not Grand Duchess Anastasia. The discredited works of Rathlef, Kurth and Botkin have no place at wikipedia. They have all been proven fraudulent. If you wish to be an obsessive Anderson supporter, please use the sandbox. Finneganw 00:33, 30 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There really is no 'controversy' over whether or not she was FS. Major news agencies such as AP and UPI and their affiliates all state as a fact in their reporting that she was FS. If this were not a steady fact they would not/could not do that. The scientists who worked on the original DNA testing have said that as the years went by they were more certain, not less, that AA was indeed FS. All there is on the 'other side' is a few people who just can't accept that a poor person passed herself off as a rich person, but that is nothing to go on scientifically to challenge the DNA. I know some don't want to believe their relatives were tricked by a peasant, or that they themselves were, but it did happen. It was a mixture of human error and wishful thinking blinding them to obvious negative factors, this is evident in the fact that the younger generation of some of the supporters did not accept her as their parents had, most famously Dmitri Leuchtenberg and Gerta von Kleist. This shows that the parents, who were more clinging to and emotionally tied to the old ways and days, were more easily led to believe something they wanted so badly to be true. Another factor is that she had a very bad attitude and yelled all the time. People who wanted to believe this took it as her 'regal haughtiness' and if she misbehaved it was because she was 'traumatized' by 'Ekaterinburg.' FS, being a mentally deranged and injured person anway, fell right into the mold since she had scars and had been disturbed psychologically. We also cannot rule out the possibility that some who claimed to believe her may have only been helping her for a cut of the alleged fortune. But the bottom line is, we can't state in a historically accurate article that there is some question she may not be FS, because that would mean either some people believe the 0.001% chance she wasn't, or they believe the DNA was wrong/tampered with, which falls into the realm of conspiracy theories. Since there is no evidence or other suspect to challenge the overwhelming proof that she was FS, it should stand in the article that she was. Even adding 'some supporters question' only makes those supporters look like loonies to those who read the article. Anyway, the ending to this is coming soon. I read online that a new book is coming out next year with much new information recently discovered that will explain everything about her story and prove she was FS.Aggiebean (talk) 16:12, 31 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes won't Kurth just hate that one! It will be so easy to deal with it all as the evidence is plain for all to see. I guess Kurth's discredited book won't even fetch 2 cents at amazon.com then. Finneganw 00:33, 30 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes and I can't wait. I don't know for sure what all is all in the book, but it appears someone finally got the Schanzkowska family to talk, revealing old family secrets, letters and photos that unmistakeably tie AA to her true identity as FS. They probably also have Berenberg-Gossler's papers and manuscript he was writing at the time of his death. They likely have much more than we ever realized was out there. I always thought the info would have been there all along, but unfortunately those who have written about AA have been on her side and would not tell things that go against her. It's nice to finally know someone is on the case who will expose her as FS once and for all.Aggiebean (talk) 16:13, 3 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

In response to your message on my page-Did you ignore what Finneganw showed you that the mod told us? He said a lot of things are written by a lot of people but if they are discredited and proven to be wrong by other sources, they are not welcome in the article and cannot be used. This means we have a right to remove anything from Kurth's book that is sourced from Rathlef or Botkin since they are both now totally discredited.

CC for your reference and relief I hope...

From: REV. ANTONIO HERNANDEZ <suriak@att.net> Subject: Administrators Date: Saturday, June 6, 2009, 3:57 PM

Dear Administrator(s),

I am former user RevAntonio. Yesterday my 30-day ban lifted, an unjust range-block applied by administrator Trusilver. Though it was wrong of me, I posted a warning to certain users who are hounding and attemtping to terrorize me. I see Trusilver has passed the torch to you, and seems to be implying that he's leaving Wikipedia soon. So I post to you, though I know I shouldn't be posting at all, to ask assistance with one issue:

Sometime after being granted the Right to Vanish, I posted a bit at Talk:Anna Anderson, where all the trouble is centred. I shouldn't have done that, but there it is. It also happens that my IP address fluctuates because I am on the net as a business--I cannot help that, my provider tells me. Please, I am requesting administrative intervention at the Anna Anderson talk page and other talk pages, to stop those users from persisting with their knowingly false accusations. The users are Lisa, aggiebean and finneganw--surely you know of them, as they rant on every page they are able. Since user Lisa has been in a great deal of past trouble, she is keeping a much lower profile, but the other two usernames will surely be ranting at you sooner or later.

Although they and Trusilver know who I am, they have all, in collusion, persisted in accusing me of sock-puppetry, vandalization, edit-warring, threats, and other vile nonsense. They had been warned by Trusilver recently to stop the accusations of sock-puppetry, Trusilver informing them that multiple IPs do NOT constitute sock-puppetry. They of course have ignored the direction. My identity matters, because I have posted personal information in the past, and these users find a safe haven by accusing me of being many other users. It is one of their favorite tactics, to chase away editors from the Anna Anderson page.

It is sort of a game with them to make vicious accusations against users they do not like. Admittedly, I do have an abrasive history with these users...assuming it is more than one user...and as a result, it has been Trusilver's sport to harshly punish me, without knowing or caring about any of the actual facts. He merely did whatever the abovementioned users dictated to him, including the range-block. They have been asking since the end of May that my IPs be permanently blocked. On top of all this, those users have no right to mention the old, non-existent username RevAntonio...nor do they have entitlement to bring up my past.

Trusilver finally drew the line when he was ordered to permanently range-block my IPs. This seemed to put an end to any publicly posted collusion on Trusilver's part. Something more: I can CC you or direct you to the section on Trusilver's talk page, in which he stated to me that he was using a special double standard against me because he did not like me. If you go to his talk page, you will find it if you simply search the page for the term double standard. He has deleted certain posts I have left him in the past, in which I rightfully challenged his unfairness. He has encouraged the use of my now-non-existent username/user identity, and he has gossiped about me to other users. The other guilty users have been having a field day with my identity and old non-existent username since my unjustified IPs range-block.

Though it is fruitless, I have submitted my case to both arbitration and bureaucracy--they have both assured me they are forwarding my request for amelioration to the proper party. I have no idea who that party is, and that is why I'm posting THIS for all to see.

I have noted that the users in question somehow breeze through the system, undisciplined and out-of-control. In the past, they have accused others as they now accuse me, of being the author Peter Kurth, another individual whom they loathe. Kurth unfortunately has a bad and foolish history on the same talk page Anna Anderson; he did battle there because he wrote Anna Anderson's biography. I attest that I am not Peter Kurth nor any other user now active.

You will see now, also, that these users have found a way to sneak in posts without any kind of signature showing. This way, no one can see who has posted which information. I have no doubt they are vandalizing their own talk posts in their effort to terrorize editors they dislike.

Please, I am asking you in an act of self-protection, that you approach and warn these users about this hounding and cyber-terrorism. They know how to work this system, and I have no doubt they will set Wikipedia aflame once they see this post; I can assure you they are monitoring for yet another chance to persist in their wrongdoing.

Stay in, stay strong

Bookie, you have clear-headed, excellent points, just as the undeservedly loved Trusivler said of you. It was one of the few rational things he ever said. DON'T QUIT! Don't let those damned bullies hurt your feelings; you have excellent ideas for that page! I am a little more in support of you than I am with the general feel at the Talk:Anna Andersonpage, because you say, "Treat KURTH'S BOOK fairly," and I like that. That is proper scholarship. What you said is what I've been telling them since early April--Kurth cannot be erased just because they don't like his probable but not conclusively proved lies/frauds. He did write a book that was "THE" source for Anna, everyone's source from 1983 until the late 1990s. And I resent finneganw making the silly claim that "many libraries have moved" Kurth to fiction. That's horsefeathers and he knows it. They are just trying to goad you... then you stick up for yourself, then they run to the new admin we have over there and get you banned unjustly. Look at the admin's talk page; they're at it already because they are not scholars or journalists or anything. Don't let them get to you, please!75.21.124.148 (talk) 23:06, 13 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No, I personally know librarians who have told me the book was removed once the final DNA results were published in March. Bookworm, I want you to know that I do not consider you among the 'delusional fanatics' who cannot behave properly and live in another realm. However I do think it's unfortunate that you seem to put the feelings of Kurth and Schweitzer above reality and accuracy in the article.Aggiebean (talk) 01:12, 14 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, Aggiebean, we are not talkin feelings here. We are talking about the facts of Anna Anderson's life that led up to her lawsuit and formed her life. Facts that you want to be silenced, probably because they pose a challenge to the DNA. But that's how history works, you cannot just present one side and sweep the rest under the carpet. And no matter what the DNA outcome was, it does not change one line of Peter Kurth's book. What happened, happened. ChatNoir24 (talk) 15:43, 14 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

And a last gasp for you Bookworm: do you see that up there, in aggie-girl's post? She knows librarians who moved the book... what CRAP. If that is not "original research" with NO place in Wikipedia, then what is?? And she sneaks this in as if it were gospel and irrefutable. We wanted facts, reliable sources, but we get the above instead. Godspeed, Bookworm, I'm GONE. It is what the hell I should have done in the 1st place when I vanished. Tell aggiebean next time you respond that she should watch my case and see where stupid arrogance gets you.

Anna Anderson redo

Do you refuse to ever accept the fact that she is FS and let us put that in the article? After all it is accepted by everyone except Kurth and about 5 supporters, you, Russophile, Bear, Ferrymansdaughter and John Kendrick. I do not think trying to salvage a little face for Kurth or AA supporters - and that is really what it amounts to- is worth sacrificing the factual content of the article. All evidence points to her being FS, and there is no evidence she was anyone else, and leaving it as a hypothetical mystery only leaves the article open ended again and that is what we are trying to prevent. Also, do you agree anything Rathlef wrote about her 'remembering' should not be allowed in the article?

I guess in the end, we will have to let the mods decide what we do, or they will delete the article.Aggiebean (talk) 17:26, 18 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

How about this on FS: Instead of saying she was 'probably' FS or definitely FS, we could leave it as that detectives in the 1920s identified her as FS and modern DNA tests back up that finding, and that it's widely accepted as her true identity by media, etc. That way we leave out any offensive wording to cause us to fight. Is this okay?Aggiebean (talk) 17:47, 18 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Massie's book is good, but in cases where we have direct quotes from the scientists themselves and not just the observations of the reporters, we can use them as fact. We can also use the Gill report itself. I do have a problem with leaving the question of her identity with 'probably'. There isn't enough evidence to make a case against her being FS to do that. She did not use the name Anastasia Manahan until she was 72 years old, so I object to her being called by that name throughout the article. Anna Anderson is the name of the article and the name that will be used by people who come here to look her up.Aggiebean (talk) 18:00, 18 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

About the new AA book, it was posted by FA on the AP forum, but since all the suvivor threads have been merged into each other in ways I don't understand I can no longer find anything. The post said that someone who was in correspondence with the site was doing research and had found "MUCH MUCH MUCH" new previously unknown info that would completely prove AA was FS and answer all the questions about her case. It is supposed to go to the printers next year. I can't wait either. I'm only sorry I wasn't the one to find out all that stuff, but being that I have no money to travel the world and get into archives and stuff and track down the FS family I have no chance of that. If they have letters, pics and stories proving AA was FS then will you believe it? I know Chat never will.Aggiebean (talk) 22:30, 18 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well I know one thing, I KNOW on the basis of proof and the sources that she WAS Franziska Schanskowska. I'm not denying that should be in the entry. See what I just commented on the talk page. Whereas, a problem I see as a big one is the shoveling of POVs instead of sticking to fact. ChatNoir has done enough... but we have this new problem regarding Kurth. Aggie, you already know from me what that problem is. Let's work on it together!75.21.155.47 (talk) 03:02, 19 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

They've been basically on vacation throughout this whole thing, except when they're busy yamping down my throat! And may I respectfully ask you, to whom were you referring when you said "eccentric"? I hope not to me, I hope not to the efforts being made at the talk page. We were reaching consensus on major things. Well, I am eccentric, who isn't?

Did you see what they've done to me? And too stupid to even get it right. A rest from that damned subject would be if they erased the page, deleted it case closed.

Miley (given name)

Hi, may I ask why you re-added the picture of Miley Cyrus on Miley (given name)? I provided a good reason for removing it, and if you didn't see it, it was because the article is about the name and not her. Pokerdance ^{(talk/contribs)} 21:00, 13 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

With that logic, I guess it's safe to say that we can put a picture of Emma Watson on the page for the name Emma. Or a picture of Anne Hathaway on the page for the name Anne. You make no sense. It does not matter that Miley popularized the name, she does not represent girls who are given that name, and the picture does not need to be there.

List of most popular given names#Africa

Hello Bookworm and thanks for all the good work.

Whilst reverting an unwelcome new addition, I noticed that the quoted source does not mention the names you added either, implying only that Muhammad was the most popular male name in Tunisia. As a major contributor you obviously know what you're doing, so I haven't changed your contributions. Could the source have changed? Certes (talk) 18:16, 1 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Rusty Willoughby

I notice that a few years back you marked for speedy deletion the Rusty Willoughby because it didn't demonstrate notability (I agree with you that it didn't at that time). Just wanted to make sure that I'm not trying to sneak anything by you in reviving the article. I'm pretty sure that my present version demonstrates notability to Wikipedia's standards. If you think not, please drop a note on my talk page & I'll see what further I can come up with by way of documentation.

OrphanReferenceFixer: Help on reversion

Hi there! I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. Recently, you reverted my fix to List of most popular given names.

If you did this because the references should be removed from the article, you have misunderstood the situation. Most likely, the article originally contained both <ref name="foo">...</ref> and one or more <ref name="foo"/> referring to it. Someone then removed the <ref name="foo">...</ref> but left the <ref name="foo"/>, which results in a big red error in the article. I replaced one of the remaining <ref name="foo"/> with a copy of the <ref name="foo">...</ref>; I did not re-insert the reference to where it was deleted, I just replaced one of the remaining instances. What you need to do to fix it is to make sure you remove all instances of the named reference so as to not leave any big red error.

If you reverted because I made an actual mistake, please be sure to also correct any reference errors in the page so I won't come back and make the same mistake again. Also, please post an error report at User talk:AnomieBOT so my operator can fix me! If the error is so urgent that I need to be stopped, also post a message at User:AnomieBOT/shutoff/OrphanReferenceFixer. Thanks!

Учитывая тот факт что вы специализируетесь на статьях на русскую тематику, возьму на себя смелость писать по-русски. Объясните мне, на каком основании вы считаете, что имя Марина является формой имени Анна и где, скажите мне на милость, вы слышали или читали, что имя Марианна русское? Насчет имени Марина я даже ссылку на статью поставил - известное и распространное имя, означает "Морская" в переводе с латыни.

Reverting my edits

Hi, I noticed you had reverted some edits I made (before I registered) to the article List of most popular given names

The article in question refers to newborn babies by order of their religion ie:"Muslim boys" and "Christian girls".How has a child that has not yet been given a name, decided which religion to follow? Isnt it more accurate, as my changes suggested, to say that these children had parents who are followers of the various religions? You wouldnt, for instance , say "Republican children" or "Socialist children",would you?

Thank you for listening, anyways

Anders.

Russian names

Say, I wanted to CC you with the post I left on this allegedly Russian person's talk page. Bookie, you ought to know better than trying this crap! When it comes down to it, you actually present a very lame and rude argument about Mariana as a Russian name! For God's sake, research first, then comment!

QUOTE:

"Etymology of names I have to agree with the owner of this page here, Bookworm. I know you've had your fights and you're a tough scrapper--I admire. Here, however, I think you ought not throw into people's faces that you are allegedly some kind of expert in Russian language and history. You have an abrasive way of stating things that you think may be correct. This Mariana issue is one of them. I'd say YOU'D best leave this issue alone--you are beginning to remind me of Aggiebean!76.195.83.61 (talk) 14:04, 19 February 2010 (UTC)"76.195.83.61 (talk) 14:06, 19 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

OK, so I'm hopping back in here to give YOU a linguistic lesson. We know MARIA was used by Palestinian Jews for centuries. The name is found on ossuaries and in tombs, we presume it is a Hellenic import. In its most popular form among Jews it was MARIANTHE or MARIAMNE. ANNA is a Hebrew name (Hannah)--yet we never see nor do we know at all of a Hebrew combination like MARI-HANNAH; the closest we have is MARIAMNE, which is a name found on an ossuary dating to the A.D. 1st century. You see, this tells us nothing of the Russian tradition centuries later, only that Russians may or may not have adopted the name...clearly they have no problem with the name MARIA (as a Christian rather than Russian name) or ANNA, though they cannot rightly be called Russian names. Yet you seem to be telling this poor slob that Mariana (Marianna) is Russian. That is sloppy work, Bookie!76.195.83.61 (talk) 15:05, 19 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not interested in getting into a debate with you, but for the record Marianna is in use as a rare name in Russia and other Slavic countries, as I explained to this fellow. The language of origin is Hebrew via Latin and Greek. There are variants of Miriam and Anna in nearly every language because Christianity is so widespread. Calling it Russian isn't saying that's the language of origin but one of the countries it is used in. --Bookworm857158367 (talk) 16:34, 19 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I'm also not interested in debates because I deal in facts, which I outlined to you very clearly. Therefore I hardly need you to repeat back to me the facts I initially raised here. Secondly, I agree with your wording above, so why did you give that Russian spy person such a hard time? You could have said the same words to him. But you held his feet to the fire. I mean, are you Russian? Are you a linguist as I am? Have you dwelt in Russia? You should go easy on the arrogance, this place is getting to you as it does to all of us!76.195.83.61 (talk) 18:46, 23 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Well, ditto. Just remember, I'm fairly straightforward but others as you well know are not. You are inheriting a know-it-all tone & that is why you get chased off places.76.195.85.164 (talk) 19:18, 28 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Mistaken

Bookworm, you must be mistaken. While the live action movie actually was based around Anderson, the animated film was not. The character was not Anderson, nor based off Anderson. Only the idea of proving themselves to the Grand Dowager was similar. Anna Anderson, even in the live action film, did not prove to be Anastasia at any point. The character of Anya, however, did prove herself. In the fictional movie, she was the princess Anastasia. I will find an outside source, if this is what you wish, but the fact I am trying to cite is simply the plot. The plot of the story cannot be argued. It is the way it is. The animated film does not relate to Anderson. Fox simply stated they got the idea for the film from the live action film of the same name. Their plots, however, are extremely different. Fox created a film that was about an orphan named Anya who lost her identity and sets out to find her family. In the process, she discovers that she is the Grand Duchess Anastasia, daughter of Czar Nicholas. The name Anderson was not used at all, nor was this story based around her. If you don't believe me, I suggest you look into the topic, or better yet watch the movie. Neither Anderson, or her story (fictionally or non-fictionally) relates to the 1997 film Anastasia, which is to do with the actual Romanov princess trying to discover her past. Again, I really hope we can work this out. I found that this particular section was erroneous, and I feel it is only right that I correct it. However, I will tell you that finding a valid plot summary may prove to be a difficult task. >A loyal editor —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.101.236.156 (talk) 14:12, 26 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I also feel that the point of saying that this story is based off the legend of Anna Anderson to some extent is arguable. Though I respect your opinion, there is no proof the stories are at all connected, unless you were in fact one of the writers of the film. I believe the writers got the idea from several legends surrounding the princess, not just one from Anna Anderson. As far as the plot is conserned, they are not related. >A loyal editor —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.101.236.156 (talk) 15:36, 26 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, the point I am trying to make is the plot. The entire plot states that Anya is Anastasia. This is the point. This distints Anya from Anna Anderson. Anya was the princess, Anderson was not. It is simply a matter of plot. I don't know how much more simply I can put this. >A loyal editor —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.101.236.156 (talk) 15:42, 26 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Again, I will say that this is debatable. The animated film has very little in common with the live action film. The name and story was not used in the animated film. But now, we are just getting into matters of opinion. Another thing I don't understand is why IMDb is an innapropriate source. It gives a plot summary, and that is all I need to justify this point. However, I will try to find other means of proof if this won't do. You must understand, however, that at this point I am really worn down. I am trying to prove a simple point, but nothing seems good enough. All I need is the plot summary. If you have any better suggestions of where a good site would be to find what I need, please feel free to let me know. I am between a rock and a hard place. >A loyal editor 74.101.236.156 (talk) 15:55, 26 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

As I recall, the movie got a similar idea from the film, not a basis. However, I appreciate your opinion. Perhaps if I simply rephrase the fact. Tell me if this is acceptable, otherwise, I will keep searching. I am not trying to cause any trouble, but you must understand where I am coming from. This is really just a simple point I am trying to make. The plot disagrees that "Anya" and Anderson are related. Anya is not Anderson. Their stories are different, and the writers do not metion that they based the film off Anderson at all. This is stated clearly in the plot. Hopefully, this will be resolved soon. Thank you for your cooperation. I do respect your work on Wikipedia. Being an editor myself, I know. >A loyal editor 74.101.236.156 (talk) 23:11, 26 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I think I have finally made it work. I added an external link to a plot synopsis, and added it as part of the fact, therefore it does check out. All I am trying to prove is the plot and idea of the story so this does work. >A loyal editor 74.101.236.156 (talk) 01:05, 27 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Controversial? Bookworm, I believe that there is a huge misunderstanding. Please see the comment I left on the Anna Anderson talk page. Though I respect your work, I must disagree with you. It should be clear that the statement I am reverting is the controversial statement. I really am surprised you would say that. It is fact I am adding, not myth. Nowhere is there proof of any connection to (1997) Anastasia and Anna Anderson! Someone keeps trying to tie in two ideas. It is incorrect and not at all valid! Please understand that disruptive is not my intent. It is what I am trying to prevent. You will find all your answers on the Anna Anderson talk page. Perhaps if you try and understand my perspective, you will also feel my frustration. These statements of attempted connection are not true, and knowing they are not, I can’t allow them to be posted in the façade of fact. If this is truly causing problems, I will begin extensive research on this topic (which should be fairly simple to grasp). I am not trying to prove a conspiracy theory. I am just stating the obvious fact. Anderson is not "Anya", nor are they directly related (at least). I truly hope that this will all be worked out. I honestly mean that. >A loyal editor 74.101.236.156 (talk) 01:19, 29 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Don't know if you have a dog in this fight, or whether you're just one of those lily-livered liberal revisionists who like to tinker with history to try and fit it to your whims. However, the mother of Alessandro de' Medici, Duke of Florence was a Moorish servant girl in Rome (ie - Berber or Arab from North Africa, not a "Black African"). Aside from that category being incorrect, it is highly unencyclopedic to begin an articl, such as Giulia de' Medici, with "possibily biracial" (that her grandmother was Moorish is trivia). Even people who are actually bi-racial such as Barack Obama do not have "Barack Obama is the, biracial, President of the United States". - 90.215.164.30 (talk) 20:44, 16 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Article of the month – List of valkyrie names in Norse mythology

In Norse mythology, a valkyrie is one of a host of female figures who choose which warriors will win or die in battle. The valkyries bring their chosen who have died bravely in battle to the afterlife hall of the slain, Valhalla, ruled over by the god Odin, where the deceased warriors become einherjar. There, when the einherjar are not preparing for the events of Ragnarök, the valkyries bear them mead. Valkyries also appear as lovers of heroes and other mortals, where they are sometimes described as the daughters of royalty, sometimes accompanied by ravens, and sometimes connected to swans.

Article of the month – Cailleach

In Irish and Scottish mythology, the Cailleach (Irish pronunciation: [ˈkalʲəx], Irish plural [cailleacha] Error: {{Lang}}: text has italic markup (help) [ˈkalʲəxə], Scottish Gaelic plural [cailleachan] Error: {{Lang}}: text has italic markup (help) /kaʎəxən/), also known as the Cailleach Bheur, is a divine hag, a creatrix, and possibly an ancestral deity or deified ancestor. The word simply means 'old woman' in modern Scottish Gaelic, and has been applied to numerous mythological figures in Scotland, Ireland and the Isle of Man. (More...)

BLP, ethnicity, gender

Wikipedia talk:Biographies of living persons#Include "ethnicity, gender," to match all other guidelines

Some say source requirements for ethnicity and gender of WP:EGRS don't apply to WP:BLP living persons, simply because the two words aren't in the policy. (Apparently, they think it should only apply to dead people.) I see that you have participated on this topic at the Village Pump.

They also are trying to remove the notability, relevance, and self-identification criteria at WT:EGRS, but that's another fight for another day, I'm simply too busy to watch two fronts at the same time.

We're on the 6th day. Traditionally, these polls go for 7; unless there's no obvious consensus, when we go for an additional 7 days.

Unexplained reversion to Virginia Dare

Dear Bookworm, you made an unexplained reversion to my edit of Virginia Dare. Please, when you revert an edit, perhaps you might explain why you did so?

List of most popular given names

Hello, I may have sounded a bit out of context on my summary for the edit but my point is that why do we dedicate a whole line for a minority, then we should put Japanese, Chinese and Musulman names in Russia too. France's republic does not recognize any minority for that matter so the statistics are unofficial. I think that is enough for the Wikipedia's policy on editing. As for the hyphenated I'm leaving it there but I am trying to get my hands on official statistics which seem to be really hard and costly. Regardless of the fundamental principle in France's republic that we do not recognize any minority and therefore do not collect any statistics on minorities, the source they gave is not certified by the INSEE and is full of gramatical mistakes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anon1794 (talk • contribs) 18:06, 7 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I don't understand your reasoning. It's simple, the statistics are unofficial and not substantial at all. If you gave it a look and went to the official institution for statistics in France, INSEE, you would realize the website did not take its statistics from any relevant institutions that have credibility. The website doesn't even cite sources. Moreover, for the same reasons as the Islam names in UK delete, those statistics if they were substantial would have no place in this page because as it is said on the page "The names listed in the following tables, unless otherwise noted, represent the most current top 10 breakdowns of what newborn children are commonly being named in the various regions of the world." and not in the various ethnics of the world. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anon1794 (talk • contribs) 03:06, 12 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Nomination of Murder of Alfred Kunz for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Murder of Alfred Kunz 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/Murder of Alfred Kunz 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 good 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 template from the top of the article. Cerejota (talk) 22:03, 16 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Virginia Dare

From the look of things on this talk page, you have a tendency to do unexplained reverts. You are enough of a veteran editor here to know that you shouldn't be doing anything like that. There is simply no point in having a large section duplicated between articles, especially when Roanoke Colony goes through the various theories in far greater detail. In fact, one assertion that was in the Virginia Dare article (about the Welsh priest) is even thought to be a hoax, which is explained as such (and cited) in Roanoke Colony. If you disagree with this approach, please explain why on the talk page. Thanks. howcheng {chat} 10:33, 20 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I see you reverted my correction on this page. [By the way, sorry, I did the edit with my IP address, I thought I was logged in but I wasn't!] Can I ask why? The link you put brings to a disambiguation page, and I was trying to avoid that. Anastasia was born at the Peterhof Palace, in the municipality of Petergof, which is what I put.

Yes, I didn't realize the newspaper was just called The Times. My only concern is that a worldwide audience isn't going to know it's a London newspaper because so many papers are called "The Times."

Miya

Im not sure why you insist on deleting Miya as an alternate spelling. Additionally, your logic that it isn't listed in the top 1,000 names so it shouldn't be included seems unnecessarily rigid. The language in the paragraph specifically states that the alternate spellings are sometimes used implying that they are not necessarily popular.

Finally, (unless User:Victor1111 is a sock - and there is some history here beyond the 8 recent changes I viewed) you are being unnecessarily rude to a new user who registered after trying to edit as an IP presumably to gain more respect for his edit which you completely ignored. --Trödel 22:13, 8 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Diane Russell

The article Diane Russell has been proposed for deletion. The proposed-deletion notice added to the article should explain why.

While all 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.

I wanted to inquire about the article on Wikipedia you wrote about Sister Varvara Yakovleva. Where did you obtain the picture, do you know if she has family or how I may trace that ?

Non-free rationale for File:Tatianahelpingsoldier.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Tatianahelpingsoldier.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 19:45, 23 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Replaceable fair use File:FranzJosephBattenberg.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:FranzJosephBattenberg.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails the first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media 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 taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images 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. Melesse (talk) 07:32, 24 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The sentence I removed, "Until his own assassination in 1979, her first cousin, Louis Mountbatten, 1st Earl Mountbatten of Burma, kept a photograph of Maria beside his bed in memory of the crush he had upon her", already appears under both the "Life and characteristics" and "Rediscovery and reports of survival" subheadings. Is it really necessary for the exact same sentence to be repeated again? Wolcott (talk) 06:06, 30 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

List of Popular Given Names for February 1

Greetings, Bookworm. I am at a loss as to why you edited my revision to List of most popular given names. I thought it logical to provide a link to the page David (name)as this is what is being referred to under the popular names list rather then the article relating to King David. You stated that this was not constructive. It would be helpful to know why it is not? Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.209.210.28 (talk) 16:34, 1 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm PatGallacher. I noticed that you recently removed some content without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry: I restored the removed content. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks! You have made unexplained deletions to a number of articles. Why?

Nomination of Tabitha (disambiguation) for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Tabitha (disambiguation) 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/Tabitha (disambiguation) 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 template from the top of the article.

Hi. It is completely normal and permissible for an article on a given name to sit at an undisambiguated title, and to contain a list of people sharing that name. Also, please do not make cut and paste moves from a page, and then redirect that page in another direction. This makes it very difficult to properly attribute the article to its authors. Cheers! bd2412 T

The standard title for given names articles is now Name (given name). I am also trying to avoid having the given name page turned into a disambiguation page. The title of the article should be moved back immediately to Tabitha (given name) and the disambiguation page should be separate. --Bookworm857158367 (talk) 20:28, 4 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Given name stubs

In stub-sorting today I've found several of your given name stubs with title "Xxx (given name)". As I usually do, I've checked to see whether they are linked from the article at Xxx, and I find that yes, they are linked, but unfortunately those dab pages all now seem to be in need of repair.

As I understand it, there are two formats for a dab page. If "Xxx" has a primary use, then the dab page is at "Xxx (disambiguation)" and starts with "Xxx is ...", linked to that page, and goes on: "Xxx" may also refer to: ...". If Xxx does not have a primary use, then the dab page is at "Xxx" and begins "Xxx" may refer to:". All links to articles from dab pages are unpiped, to show the article titles being disambiguated (with exceptions for bluelinks which don't use the disambiguated term).

Entries for people with given name Xxx and a surname do not belong on the dab page if there is a separate article for the given name, but are acceptable there in the absence of such a page. See WP:MOSDAB and Wikipedia:WikiProject Anthroponymy/Standards.

You have created a "Xxx (given name)" article, linked the mention of the name at the top of the page (unpiped), but not moved the given-name-plus-surname entries to the given name article.

I've stub-sorted the articles I've found, and tidied up one or two, but tagged most as "dab pages in need of cleanup". Please stop this pattern of article creation: if you want to create an article for a given name, link it in the standard way from the existing dab page and move into it the entries for articles for people with given name plus surname. Thanks. PamD 09:30, 6 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

To keep the discussion in one place I'll copy your reply here:

(Reply posted at User talk:PamD and copied here by Pam D):

There needs to be a consistent pattern established for these name articles. Not all of them include lists of people and probably should not since there are far too many Mary's or Elizabeth's, etc. Most of the name stubs I have created are referred back to the article List of most popular given names. The Disambiguation bot tags all of the articles that are Disambiguation pages and notes that they are almost always a mistake. When that template is left in place yet another bot comes along and links articles to bio articles that have nothing to do with the given name. Bookworm857158367 (talk) 12:24, 6 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure what you mean by a "consistent pattern", but in terms of article names it's not the case. If there is no other article on Xxx, then an article on it as a given name just goes at "Xxx". If there is something else which is the primary usage, then it goes at "Xxx (given name)". Disambiguation is not used when not needed. If a list of people named Xxx plus surname exists in a dab page, then if either "List of people named Xxx" or a page on the given name is created, the list should be moved to that page. I don't understand what you're saying about "the disambiguation bot", or about "links articles to bio articles that have nothing to do with the given name": could you clarify, perhaps show examples of what you're talking about? Thanks. PamD 12:42, 6 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The disambiguation bot is User:DPL bot. The other bot made its appearance a few months back when another user attempted to clean up the disambiguation links. It linked names to bio articles -- i.e. the name Abraham to the patriarch Abraham and other Biblical names to the Biblical personages rather than to articles about the specific name; various Muslim names to historical personages important in Islam. That might have been accomplished with a tool such as Dab solver but you'd likely see which it was if you go far enough back on the history of the List of most popular given names page. It took a fair amount of time to clean that up, since I thought it was confusing to users and inaccurate. Some of these names appeared obscure enough to me that they didn't necessarily need their own articles; the various disambiguation pages included a line or two indicating that they were given names and had a specific meaning. When I deliberately linked back to the disambiguation pages, the DPL bot comes along and adds its link along with a form message such as the one above that "Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles." Either way, I think there ought to be one format for the various name articles or the DPL bot should be reformatted to leave intentional links to disambiguation pages alone. --Bookworm857158367 (talk) 13:44, 6 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"Romanov" surname

Please stop deleting my edits on the Russian Imperial family surnames. It's widely known that members of the European royal families doesn't have last names, but for some reason you stubbornly continue to argue that Russian royal family is expect from that rule. But the point is that even if they had a surname it would be Holstein-Gottorp, and not Romanov. Romanov family name did't appear until 1917 year. This is a very well known fact and I was surprised that the articles in Wikipedia contain incorrect information. I corrected it, but you continue to insist on this misspelling for some reason.

Why did you revert my edits?

Hi, why did you revert my edits on "Anna"? I can understand that perhaps you'd like "Annika" to sit near "Anika", but as far as I can see, the list is sorted alphabetically. You also re-inserted a duplicate entry for "Annette" which surely can't be right? Thanks. Deadstar (talk) 07:53, 2 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thanks for your reply on my talk page. You are right, Anette and Annette are two different spellings of the same name. However, that is not the issue. "Annette" appears in the list twice. I removed the one that was not in alphabetical order & merged it with the other. Why did you revert this change? It is not logical to have the same name in there multiple times.

Also, why did you revert the other change I made, which was to move "Annika" to be in line with the alphabetical order as is the rest of the list. You can answer here, I'll keep an eye on it. Thank you. Deadstar (talk) 14:29, 2 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Main Page appearance: Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna of Russia

This is a note to let the main editors of Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna of Russia know that the article will be appearing as today's featured article on July 17, 2013. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. If you prefer that the article appear as TFA on a different date, or not at all, please ask featured article director Raul654 (talk · contribs) or one of his delegates (Dabomb87 (talk · contribs), Gimmetoo (talk · contribs), and Bencherlite (talk · contribs)), or start a discussion at Wikipedia talk:Today's featured article/requests. You can view the TFA blurb at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/July 17, 2013. If it needs tweaking, or if it needs rewording to match improvements to the article between now and its main page appearance, please edit it, following the instructions at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests/instructions. The blurb as it stands now is below:

Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna of Russia (1901–18) was the youngest daughter of Tsar Nicholas II of Russia, the last sovereign of Imperial Russia, and his wife Alexandra Fyodorovna. Anastasia had three older sisters (Olga, Tatiana, and Maria), and a younger brother (Alexei Nikolaevich, Tsarevich of Russia). She was executed with her family in an extrajudicial killing by members of Cheka, the Bolshevik secret police, on 17 July 1918. Persistent rumors of her possible escape circulated, fueled by the fact that the location of her burial was unknown during Communist rule. Several women falsely claimed to have been Anastasia, the most notorious of whom was Anna Anderson; DNA testing after Anderson's death showed no link between her and the Imperial family. Anastasia's possible survival has been conclusively disproved. The mass grave near Ekaterinburg which held the remains of the Tsar, his wife, and three daughters was revealed in 1991, but the bodies of Alexei Nikolaevich and one of his sisters—either Anastasia or Maria—were not discovered there. However, the charred bodies of the two missing siblings were found in 2007 and identified using DNA testing. (Full article...)

Just to prevent a further edit war

Hi there. This is the line you insist is accurate: "...is built on the story of Anastasia's fictional escape from Russia and her subsequent quest for recognition."

In the animated film, she does not escape Russia. That's the bottom line. There is no escaping. She ends up in an orphanage outside of St. Petersburg. She's still there, in Russia, at the implied age of around 18 and therefore a young adult. When she does leave Russia, she is not being forced nor is she escaping anything. She leaves of her own free will under no pressure. Her intentions are to leave and discover who she is- recognition is not a character motivation in the animated film. This is why I tweaked the sentence- at the very least it's misleading and vague. I did not add an additional sentence to make the description overly lengthy and those interested can still check out the separate article. If you'd like to rewrite the one sentence description of the animated film I put up, there's no problem with that so long as it reflects the actual plot of the movie. However, the one you keep reverting to, as explained above, is incorrect and inaccurate and should not be used.

Olga Nikolaevna's Page

Hello Bookworm, I am here to respond to your message on my talk page about my changes to Olga Nikolaevna's wikipedia page. I am assuming the change that you are referring to is the changing of the captions on some of the photos. On this photo: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/2f/OTMA1915-2.jpg the aption lists the people in the photo as being OTMA and Sophie Buxhoeveden. This photo is clearly OTMA with their mother, Alexandra Feodorovna. The nose and the chin show it being the Empress and the outfit she is wearing is later seen in photos of her at Dnieper. Furthermore, the photo was not taken in 1915, but in May of 1916 when the family visited a battleship in South Crimea. The photo of OTM and soldier Pavel Voronov is also clearly not 1911. Olga began wearing her hair pulled back into a low pony-tail with a bow in 1910 in preparation for her putting her hair up the next year. It is more likely that it is 1909 or very early 1910. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kissmekassy (talk • contribs) 19:14, 27 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of most popular given names, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Narek. 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.

Grand Duke Andrei Vladimirovich of Russia nominated for DYK!

Grand Duke Andrei Vladimirovich of Russia, an article you created or expanded, was recently nominated to be on the Did you know? section of the Main Page! This section is where facts from recently created or expanded articles are shown. If it passes review, it will be shown prominently on one of the most viewed webpages on the Internet! If you have thoughts, questions or concerns, you can join the discussion here. Cheers! (The previous message was left by an automated bot. Did I make an error? Report it to my owner!)

List of most popular given names

Only 10% of Kazakhstan's territory is geographically located in Europe and only 7% of Kazakhstan's population lives there, and the country is part of a greater region known as Central Asia, so I really do not see a point in mentioning it under 'Europe'. As for Azeri, the name is spelled Mələk in the original version, but the Azeri transliteration convention renders the letter "ə" as "a" in English, so there is no point in spelling it as "Melek". Parishan (talk) 14:51, 6 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

When 93% of a country's population lives in Asia and 7% in Europe, there have got to be serious reasons for you to want to list it as the latter. What is your specific justification in listing it under Europe in this case? Onomastics forms part of a country's culture, and culturally Kazakhstan is much closer to Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan and other Central Asian states than to France or Germany. For the Azerbaijani names, there are articles like Yusuf (name) and Maryam (name). Why would you redirect them to the European equivalents, if there are already existing articles? If you believe that the existing articles contain less information, perhaps you could consider enriching them with more facts, but redirecting 'Maryam' to 'Mary' means nothing to the reader who is interested in the history of, evolution of and famous people with the name 'Maryam', not 'Mary'.

Unexplained revert

Autism and OCD are not problems. Sure OCD is extremely painful with little benefits, I know that personally. However, Autism and OCD are not problems; it is an important part of people's brains work. It is a difference in operating system; not a problem or disorder.

Plus, he had an actual behavioral problem; murder-suicide. He did a behavior that was problematic because it lost the lives of both young children and adult staff. He also killed himself so the families couldn't get justice and they are probably still feeling lost. His operating system wasn't a problem, what he did was.

MOS:IDENTITY is being revisited: How should Wikipedia refer to transgender individuals before and after their transition?

You are being contacted because you contributed to a recent discussion of MOS:IDENTITY that closed with the recommendation that Wikipedia's policy on transgender individuals be revisited.

Two threads have been opened at the Village Pump:Policy. The first addresses how the Manual of Style should instruct editors to refer to transgender people in articles about themselves (which name, which pronoun, etc.). The second addresses how to instruct editors to refer to transgender people when they are mentioned in passing in other articles. Your participation is welcome.

Hi, I see that you reverted my minor edit for Catherine Dolgorukov. The wording, as I saw it, was odd so I changed it. The original wording was "She was a long-time mistress of Tsar Alexander II of Russia and later, as his morganatic wife, was created Princess Yurievskaya (Светлейшая княгиня Юрьевская)."

Speedy deletion nomination of Sophia Eberlein

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 Sophia Eberlein 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 or group of people, but it does not credibly 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 "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, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Proposed deletion of Nerea

The article Nerea has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Fails WP:NNAME. No citations, mere dictionary entry.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages 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 page 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.

You are now edit-warring and I would be happy to report you

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 03:12, 12 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

stop rving valid edits on List of most popular given names

Many names given there should be redirected from "Name" to "Name (name)|Name". That's an obvious and valid edit. Just because some of those edits are from IPs and not registered users doesn't give you right to revert them. Stop rving them, or we're going postal, mate.

It's funny how you think that people would want to learn something and would want to learn it faster, but it seems that grouping of people with the same authority does not work for you and you also seem to like reverting things recently.

So if I was to group a type of people that are connected and have some kind of authority (which is the same), then to you it seems somehow illegal or something, to shorten one;'s learning time.

2019 US Banknote Contest

US Banknote Contest

November-December 2019

There are an estimated 30,000 different varieties of United States banknotes, yet only a fraction of these are represented on Wikimedia Commons in the form of 2D scans. Additionally, Colonial America, the Confederate States, the Republic of Texas, multiple states and territories, communities, and private companies have issued banknotes that are in the public domain today but are absent from Commons.

In the months of November and December, WikiProject Numismatics will be running a cross-wiki upload-a-thon, the 2019 US Banknote Contest. The goal of the contest is to increase the number of US banknote images available to content creators on all Wikimedia projects. Participants will claim points for uploading and importing 2D scans of US banknotes, and at the end of the contest all will receive awards. Whether you want to claim the Gold Wiki or you just want to have fun, all are invited to participate.

If you do not want to receive invitations to future US Banknote Contests, follow the instructions here

Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna of Russia

Why did you revert my edit on Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna of Russia? You did not provide a reason in the edit summary. Are family names not supposed to be included in the name template for royals? Abbyjjjj96 (talk) 16:52, 29 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Reverting without edit summaries

I'm not sure why you reverted my edits on Pierre Gilliard, and then undid the revert. As my edits are now back as they were, what concerns me, having looked through your edit history, is that you often revert others' work without giving a proper explanation, and generally you give no edit summary at all. It is important when doing any edit, especially if reverting, to give an explanation of what you have done. Note that on my edits on the Guilliard page, I gave a reason for each of my edits and there was nothing heinous about any of them. See, WP:RV, WP:FIES. You shouldn't do any reverting without properly investigating what was done; automatic reverting because it is an IP-address edit isn't acceptable, seeWP:BIGOTRY (see the IP section) 158.181.64.165 (talk) 08:38, 1 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your revert to Lady Louise Windsor

Could you please explain why you reverted my edit to Lady Louise Windsor? I disagree with the revert because this person is not a royal even though she is a male-line descendant of Elizabeth II. For example, Archie Mountbatten-Windsor uses Mountbatten-Windsor to refer to him rather than Archie because he is not considered a royal even though he is descended from royalty. Both articles use the infobox person rather than infobox royalty. If you could explain your revert, that would be great. Interstellarity (talk) 12:08, 21 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

List of most popular given names

Tell me this:

1. You´re telling me that the ¨name¨ ¨Charlie¨ is the fourth most popular name in Quebec for GIRLS?

2. The exact same names (Olivia, Mia, Amelia, Charlotte, Harper, Evelyn, Emma, and Ava) all appear on the charts in the USA, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, why aren´t they different?

3. How come in every state and province (America, Canada) the names I just listed are exclusively the most popular, wouldn´t people in different areas have different common names?

4. How are these same names the most popular every year in their countries? (Again wouldn´t there be some diversity?)

5. When I look up the total amounts of people named ¨Charlotte¨ or ¨Olivia¨ (https://myfirstname.rocks) (https://forebears.io) the numbers change drastically from the ¨official sources¨?

6. Wouldn´t it just be easier to SAY ¨specific¨ names are popular rather than actually count how many people were actually named (Harper)?

7. Again, why would random names like Charlie, Evelyn, and Harper become ¨popular¨? What famous female celebrities do you know are named Harper or Charlie (yes ¨Charlie¨)

8. How does the ¨accurate¨ source: Social Security have the most popular baby names of (1800 - 1920) if Social Security wasn´t a THING back then?

9. How come Social Security claims about 4,000,000 were born in 2020, if the number from all other sources was only at 3.6 million?

10. Why does Mccrindle, an AUSTRALIAN company have the authority to determine which baby names not only popular in Australia but also in New Zealand?

11. Why is it that the Canadian name data vague and separate and in some states only available through websites with no source to the actual raw data?

12. TELL ME that you actually believe that HUMAN beings with brains, think that CHARLIE is a good name for a girl.

RaeLynn

Why did you move RaeLynn to RaeLynn (singer) against consensus? There is no other person on Wikipedia with the name "RaeLynn", so the (singer) part is redundant. This should have been taken to WP:RM. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 03:50, 15 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

There are other articles about people with this given name and I just wrote an article Raelynn (given name). RaeLynn is properly a disambiguation page. I will oppose any attempt to move the article back to the original title. Bookworm857158367 (talk) 04:16, 15 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

She's still the primary topic, as she's the only one who goes exactly by the name "RaeLynn" with no other additions. The other uses are only people who use that as a first name. Also, you moved the page without filing a move request, which is definitely frowned on here. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 04:22, 15 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

But not forbidden. Again, I oppose moving it back. There are articles about other people by this name. Bookworm857158367 (talk) 04:24, 15 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I’d add that there was no consensus to name the article by a single name in the first place either. When there are multiple articles with similar, potentially confusing names, there needs to be a disambiguation page. I wrote an article about the name, which has become quite popular lately for girls, and discovered your article as well as articles about other people with this name. It needed to be disambiguated, which is why I moved it. The page really ought to be a disambiguation page, not a redirect to RaeLynn (singer). Bookworm857158367 (talk) 04:30, 15 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

RaeLynn is still the only exact use of the name RaeLynn, and has a hatnote to Raelynn (disambiguation). None of the other entries on the disambiguation page goes solely by the name "RaeLynn". (Read this section on "partial title matches".) Your move was in good faith, and I was just as hasty to revert it. I think the current setup with RaeLynn being about the singer, and a hat note to Raelynn (disambiguation), is an acceptable compromise. If you feel otherwise, I would suggest filing a move request for the singer's article. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 04:59, 15 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I added the disambiguation page which should avoid confusion, though I still don’t think this person is notable enough for the article title to be only about her. There are inevitably going to be other well known people in the future with the name whom people might search for by typing in just Raelynn.

I changed the wording because I think your wording is a little bit racist, if I'm being honest. Imagine if someone said this: "I walked over to a group of Whites". Don't you agree that that's a little strange? It's like saying "a disabled". I might be wrong, though, because I'm not black.

In my timezone it's nearly night time, so I will respond to you tomorrow. I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Thank you :) Meowmeowimacat (talk) 18:37, 24 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Disagreement aside

I really enjoyed Khaleesi (given name). And via that article I learned that Pamela and Vanessa are also "made up" names. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 15:31, 6 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I do want the articles to use sound sources. If anyone else can find more material, that would be great. This site might be a good place to start looking. I plan to use some of the articles I’ve found here to strengthen some of the other name articles as I have time to do it. https://ans-names.pitt.edu/ans Bookworm857158367 (talk) 16:41, 6 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Edit Warring

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Big Money Threepwood (talk) 08:25, 7 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Doris given name

Hi there. I recently reverted [3] because among other things it had no edit summary. Please see Help:Edit summary for more information.

On related note, the matter of how moving name lists out of disambiguation lists negatively affects reader navigation is something I've discussed in Wikipedia talk:Disambiguation/Archive 55#effects of WP:NAMELIST on navigation outcomes for anthroponymy entries. Please feel free to contribute to such a discussion (in another forum, that one is archived already, sadly). --Joy (talk) 11:10, 8 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I’ve reverted your edits because there is now a far more extensive (and nearly complete) list at Doris (given name) and the disambiguation list is redundant. In addition, this follows the same practice as the one taken by another editor at Percival (disambiguation) where the name list was moved to the newly created page Percival (given name) after I had added other names there. These are name articles, not disambiguation pages per se, but this has been the general practice on other such pages. Bookworm857158367 (talk) 11:49, 8 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The thing is, one editor's redundant is another reader's bad navigation. I know we've had a general practice of employing WP:NAMELIST, but it's not a great guideline in a lot of cases, like this one where you add extra clicks before people reach the topics of most interest, and this needs to be applied in a manner that takes into perspective of what's the overall goal here. --Joy (talk) 16:11, 8 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The disambiguation page entry lists a handful of people; the name entry article has a complete list. This has been the usual practice and the one I prefer to follow. Had I added the name definition and cited information on the disambiguation pages, someone would have jumped all over me and claimed disambiguation pages don’t include citations. Had I created the name article without adding the names, someone would have claimed it isn’t notable and nominated it for deletion. Name articles are notable in and of themselves and I am trying to improve coverage of names. I am going to follow the previously established practice. I also did what another editor had just done on the Percival page. Bookworm857158367 (talk) 16:32, 8 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Categorisation of "Name" articles vs "Character" articles"

Hi, I notice from recent edits that categories about names (that anybody might have) are being added to articles about specific fiction characters (single fictional instances, who happen to have a name now become popular, or who actually constitute the origin of a name, as with many Tolkien characters). Name articles are about names as things; character articles are about characters, not about their names as such. Therefore, we don't give name categories to character articles. All the best, Chiswick Chap (talk) 14:45, 9 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

One of the issues of contention during the recent deletion/redirect discussion of the articles Daenerys and Khaleesi was whether they should be redirected to the article about the character and information about the names incorporated into that article. In the instances of Katniss Everdeen and some of the other character pages, I think a section about real life usage of the name and origins of the name is appropriate. There are kids being named Katniss (and Arwen, Glinda, etc.) but not enough to make it notable enough for a separate article on the name. Hence, it should indeed be a name article as well as a character article. Bookworm857158367 (talk) 20:05, 9 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Invitation

Hello Bookworm857158367, we need experienced volunteers.

New Page Patrol is currently struggling to keep up with the influx of new articles. We could use a few extra hands on deck if you think you can help.
Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time but it requires a good understanding of Wikipedia policies and guidelines; Wikipedia needs experienced users to perform this task and there are precious few with the appropriate skills. Even a couple reviews a day can make a huge difference.
Kindly read the tutorial before making your decision (if it looks daunting, don't worry, it basically boils down to checking CSD, notability, and title). If this looks like something that you can do, please consider joining us.
If you would like to join the project and help out, please see the granting conditions. You can apply for the user-right HERE.
If you have questions, please feel free to drop a message at the reviewer's discussion board.
Cheers, and hope to see you around.

Proposed deletion of Denim (given name)

The article Denim (given name) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

WP:NNAME:
If at least two articles matching the surname or given name of the subject of a name article do not exist, then the surname or given name list article would not be notable and should not be created.
I verified this is the case with "Denim".

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages 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 page 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. बिनोद थारू (talk) 00:31, 25 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguators

There is no need to add parenthetical disambiguators to article titles of pages when there are no other Wikipedia articles under that title or similar titles. AllTheUsernamesAreInUse (talk) 22:43, 2 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That is going to be confusing as all get out because there are multiple articles about people named Sanchia or related names. This is an article about the history and usage of the given name. It is not a disambiguation page. I have a problem with you changing the title. Bookworm857158367 (talk) 00:27, 3 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You are correct that it is not a disambiguation page; it is, however, a specialized set index article. I don't see how it will be confusing, as the name itself is the primary topic, and the page contains a list of people with the name, so any reader looking for a certain person with the name can find it there. If you have strong objections, you can open an RfC or something. AllTheUsernamesAreInUse (talk) 05:38, 3 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Russian imperial family

May I ask why some of my recent edits were undone? Векочел (talk) 02:48, 1 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The title of the article includes “of Russia.” What’s the point in altering that? Bookworm857158367 (talk) 03:26, 1 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What does the title have to do with creating a simple redirect to the articles on Alexei's mother and grandparents? Векочел (talk) 06:08, 15 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The exact name of the article should be used as the redirect. There is no reason to change it or the piping. Bookworm857158367 (talk) 08:56, 15 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It seems that WP:NOPIPE would indicate that a simple redirect is generally preferable, and there is no ambiguity here as to whom Princess Alix of Hesse is, for instance. Векочел (talk) 16:25, 15 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Pictures

Try discussing it on the talk page. You don’t have consensus to move them if your edits have been reverted. I think there are already problems with the choices of images as different editors seem to be choosing them based on what they think looks good rather than on encyclopedic value. Bookworm857158367 (talk) 11:37, 1 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have posted on the Talk page a week ago and no editor replies. And yet my edits are being reverted by an anonymous user. I am not sure how this consensus is reached or which "We" the anonymous user is referring to. I am not aware that one has to be in some inner circle to even make minor changes on Wikipedia nor do I know how to reach consensus with these people who are not even interested in discussing my proposal.

Miles (given name) (crossposted from User talk:Bcorr)

I have reverted your deletion. All of the statements you deleted are supported by citations. Please do not revert cited material.

Hello User:Bookworm857158367 -- the material I removed was not uncited and I did not delete any citations, and specifically, statements such as a Norman French name "Initially, it performed as a diminutive form of Slavic two -part names with a Miło- particle - e.g. Miłobrat, Miłogost, Miłosław." and "Development of the name might also have been influenced by" have no basis in fact nor is there a citation supporting it. Here is the text of what I removed from the article:

Initially, it performed as a diminutive form of Slavic two -part names with a Miło- particle - e.g. Miłobrat, Miłogost, Miłosław. From the 19th century it has been performing alone. During time, it was influenced by ''miles'', the [[Latin language|Latin]] word for a [[soldier]]. [[Milo (name)|Milo]], the variant of the name used most often during the [[Middle Ages|medieval era]], might also have been influenced by the Slavic ending word element ''-mil'', meaning ''[[Courtesy|gracious]]''

and

Development of the name might also have been influenced by the [[Persian language|Persian]] name Mylas, meaning [[Bravery|brave]].

I am crossposting this to the article's talk page. Please continue any discussion there.

If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next seven days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged.

Your edits on Harmony (given name)

You reverted my edit on Harmony (given name) without explanation; but, based on the page history, you have been edit warring with others on and off about the link to Pact. First, I don't agree that "pact" is the best meaning of the word "concord." "Agreement" would be a closer match in meaning. Second, WP:OVERLINK suggests that "Unless a term is particularly relevant to the context in the article, words and terms understood by most readers in context are usually not linked." Third, WP:OVERLINK and WP:DPL both caution against linking to disambiguation pages. There is just no need for this link, it is not helpful to the project, and your repeated reversion of other editors' input shows an unwillingness to be collaborative. --R'n'B (call me Russ) 20:25, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
