Law School Transparency RetaliationEpeefleche and Stesmo have apparently expressed their frustration over Law School Transparency being deemed a non-reliable source by attacking Brian Leiter's wikipedia page and the wikipedia pages of the University of Chicago, Philosophical Gourmet, The American Bar Association and Kirkland & Ellis: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Philosophical_Gourmet_Report&type=revision&diff=663725919&oldid=642947761 https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Brian_Leiter&type=revision&diff=663826565&oldid=663635214 https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Philosophical_Gourmet_Report&type=revision&diff=663712714&oldid=642947761 https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=ABA_Journal&type=revision&diff=663728099&oldid=643625305 https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Kirkland_%26_Ellis&type=revision&diff=663728236&oldid=652907416 https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Brian_Leiter&type=revision&diff=663725721&oldid=663714656 https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=University_of_Chicago&type=revision&diff=663727449&oldid=662822725 This is a violation of Wikipedia's policies against retaliation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Avoid_repeated_arguments https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Sour_grapes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Civility Unemployed Northeastern (talk) 18:59, 24 May 2015 (UTC) Unemployed Northeastern (talk) 18:59, 24 May 2015 (UTC) Pink RMIt's a pity didn't Pink didn't go through.

NotUnusual (talk) 11:43, 1 February 2015 (UTC) Surname and given name pagesI'm not sure where to find any guidelines about surname/given name pages, so I'm not sure what to do in a situation like Kato/Kato (disambiguation). Both are now labeled as disambiguation pages. Kato is mostly about individuals with the surname/given name Kato, with a few extra links (KATO radio stations and Cahto people). Kato (disambiguation) has four people on it, along with links to places, and other uses (including the radio stations and the Cahto people and language). Should they be merged? Should Kato be moved to Kato (name) and only have names on it (with the disambiguation page moving to Kato)? Should the non-names be removed from Kato and everything else left alone? I'm not sure what is the best practice/consensus in this situation. -Niceguyedc Go Huskies! 09:59, 2 February 2015 (UTC)

I am Piotr Konieczny (User:Piotrus), you may know me as an active content creator (see my userpage), but I am also a professional researcher of Wikipedia. Recently I published a paper (downloadable here) on reasons editors participated in Wikipedia's biggest vote to date (January 2012 WP:SOPA). I am now developing a supplementary paper, which analyzes why many editors did not take part in that vote. Which is where you come in :) You are a highly active Wikipedian (9th most active!), and you were active back during the January 2012 discussion/voting for the SOPA, yet you did not chose to participate in said vote. I'd appreciate it if you could tell me why was that so? For your convenience, I prepared a short survey at meta, which should not take more than a minute of your time. I would dearly appreciate you taking this minute; not only as a Wikipedia researcher but as a fellow content creator and concerned member of the community (I believe your answers may help us eventually improve our policies and thus, the project's governance). PS. If you chose to reply here (on your userpage), please WP:ECHO me.

Original research problem--blogger quoting himself on Wikipedia
Palatalization: phonetic feature vs. sound changeHey, I noticed that you disambiguated some links to the disambiguation page Palatalization, which has been split into Palatalization (phonetics) and Palatalization (sound change). However, in some cases, I think you have pointed to the wrong article: for instance, Attic Greek § Consonants is referring to the sound change, not the phonetic feature. If you can easily fix this, I would appreciate it; if you're not sure which link should point to which article, let me know and maybe I can do it for the articles on my Watchlist. — Eru·tuon 04:18, 14 February 2015 (UTC)

I believe in the past you were concerned along with possibly other administrators, about a user:198.108.96.75, who you may have suspected was a sockpuppet for someone else (VandalIST). Just for your own edification (you may actually already be aware of this but the User:talk dialogue was blanked at some point so I couldn't immediately tell if this had ever entered the discussion), the IP address the user was using is part of a range of IP addresses that are included in Michigan's Merit Network which has been part of various test and experimental networks for deployments to the Public Internet for a number of years. At one point, the Merit Network also had routers that were available and open for public users to test and play with until a few years ago. But what is most likely to have happened (rather than an external user gaining access) is that a student from within Michigan's Merit Network which accounted for several different universities that were linked to it directly, gained access to the Merit IP through a computer associated with one of the sister networks (of the fellow universities that comprise it), essentially spoofing Wikipedia's technology, since Wikipedia only records the last IP as the corresponding contributor. Hopefully I have added some further clarity to what could have been at the time, an otherwise perplexing experience. If I did than I am happy to have done so, otherwise maybe this information will be of use sometime in your future. In either case, have a wonderful day...

Resilience dabsThanks for trying to tackle the resilience dabs. I tried, but honestly found too many examples that I couldn't really place - in part, I think, because the collection of articles splits things based on discipline, rather than on reality. Anyway, three dabs that bother me:
All three of these articles are talking about the same thing, more or less. If I had to pick one, I'd say that the resilience (ecology) article is closer, but only because the resilience (organizational) has such an overwhelmingly corporate focus. And then there's these knotty problems
The first of these is clearly ecology, it's got ecological in its name, it references Holling and Gunderson. But it covers both ecosystem resilience and organisational resilience. The second one also covers both social and ecological - both organisational and ecology. And the last one is the same "relationships between people and things" is a major chunk of human ecology. I find all of these dabs unsatisfactory, presumably because the choice of articles is unsatisfactory. Nonetheless, I'm bothered, especially since all of this will probably be lost as soon as the dabsolver page refreshes.

The article is clearly an invention of User:Clusternote, it has been tagged for deletion, but the article inventor immediately removes the deletion tag to unilaterally end the deletion discussion before it can be joined by other editors. The article is, at best, a wp:content fork. The inventor of the article has a clear wp:conflict of interest, and the article accomplishes nothing but to confuse terms.

A potential resolution of the stations questionBD, I foolishly missed the opportunity to point out what Dekimasu wrote re his previous close of the Greenbelt Station move mess at this review: Wikipedia:Move review/Log/2014 December#Greenbelt Station. If you would review that, and if you appreciate the logic of it, perhaps it's not too late to fix the problem per his suggestion: "I'd hope that a compromise position--e.g., opening a new move request to lowercase titles, and having 'no consensus' default to moving the pages to lowercase titles--might be sufficient in this case." Dicklyon (talk) 23:27, 10 April 2015 (UTC) Note that RGloucester has convinced a bunch of people who have disagreed with me in various places, using your AN/I thread as cover, that I'm an ongoing threat. I hope that however that comes out, you will understand that I'm working to resolve this problem, openly discussing every step I've taken, including the out-of-process move when I did it. I feel bad being pilloried this way for my good-faith efforts, but in any case I still need your cooperation with Dekimasu to get this to the obvious conclusion, which is to fix the case error that BDD caused. Can you help please? Dekimasu's suggestion in the review of his previous move close should be all you need. He seems to be rarely on WP these days; I hope he'll speak up. Of course I also realize that by engaging RGloucester on the Blackfriars Massacre as I did, I probably sealed my fate. Such is life. Dicklyon (talk) 04:39, 11 April 2015 (UTC)
BD, in case it's not clear, I'm referring to this. Dicklyon (talk) 04:59, 11 April 2015 (UTC) BD, please also look at Wikipedia_talk:Naming_conventions_(US_stations)#RfC:_some_proper_talkin.27_about_station_title_conventions, where it seems clear that there is little or no support for keeping these pages are uppercase, and considerable support for following the WP:USSTATION guideline. Does this not clarify that we are indeed much closer to consensus, and that the "weak oppose" and "not broken" responses should be discounted? I suppose we could do a Move Review, but it's probably easier for you to fix it yourself.

Preemptive protection?I'm pretty upset with what you just did at Hillary Clinton presidential campaign, 2016. You "preemptively protected" article, making it impossible to move it. This has resulted in a situation where the article cannot be aligned with the parent article, as it should be. There is no need for an RM, which you have now forced out of process. I can only imagine that you did this because you favour a certain change to that article's title. However, that change has not occurred, and this article must match. Please remedy this situation, or we shall be off to AN/I. RGloucester — ☎ 21:24, 12 April 2015 (UTC)

Excluding a couple minor changes I mentioned on the talk page, it looks pretty clear and concise to me, and you have my congrats on a well crafted proposal. I understand your reticence to push the RM too close HC's presidential bid announcement.

Bet the RM will go at least three weeksHello bd2412. You pinged me at Talk:Hillary_Rodham_Clinton#Size_of_move_request. On the bet, mentioned above in this section, I consider it made. If it closes under three weeks, you win. However, it is not proper for you to administrate or facilitate the closing, both because you are involved as a proponent, and involved in the vote. I probably could have made it go longer by tagged an {{RfC}} template on it, but that would have been cheating. I'm not sure what the terms of the vote were, but if it moves, I guess I have to admit that the community has decided that computational analysis of reliable sources (ngram, google scholar, etc) are acceptable proxies for actual reliable sources, when it comes to usage/titling. If you lose, I reserve the right to ask for a favor one day. I note at this point that the RM discussion is more civil that I expected.

Hi, BD2412. Today I found that there were still 96 incoming links to Song Qian at Wikipedia:Disambiguation pages with links/May 2015 after I moved Song Qian to Song Qian (Eastern Wu) and changed it to a disambiguation page on 19 April 2015. It's unbelievable that the sever lag had not been solved for 11 days. It seems that, to update the links, those articles with Template:People of Eastern Wu have to be edited at least once for whatever reason. I just edited 86 articles with that template (such as this) and finally solved Song Qian's incoming-links issue. What's wrong with Wikipedia's server and why should we edit the articles with the template?

Because you closed the move discussion for this page, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the move review. "Faroese Islanders"You moved this article following an RM. Sadly, you moved it to the wrong title. The proposed title was Faroe Islanders. These people are never called "Faroese Islanders", even though the adjective is "Faroese". This mirrors "Shetland Islanders" and the like. Please correct this error.

Barnstar for you
Thanks - a wide array of other adjectives have been directed at it, but this is the best. bd2412 T 15:33, 8 May 2015 (UTC) National guardHello. What do you make of National guard? DABCONGOV or mil-dab page? I find it odd to have it under mil-dab. It's not a 'unit', rather an institution.

If so, please be more careful in the future. Thanks, Mike V • Talk 21:42, 12 May 2015 (UTC)
Block on MlpearcHi. Can you please unblock this user and note that it was not "vandalism"? From what I can tell, you have a disagreement on a particular link and decided to revert a revert and then block the user. That seems highly inappropriate and not in line with the blocking policy. Thank you. Rjd0060 (talk) 21:43, 12 May 2015 (UTC)

I wanted to let you know that WMFers want to take a look at disambiguation as an experience, and I immediately thought to put them in touch with you - so you will be reached out to soonish. I suspect they'll want to talk to other fabulous disambiguators of different language communities. AFAIK right now the goal is just to learn about disambiguation before coming to any conclusions. I have no idea what the time frame is though - might be a few days or a couple of weeks before they reach out, so just wanted to let you know. Hope you all are well otherwise!

Please see Wikipedia:Village pump (policy) § RfC: Guidance on commas after Jr. and Sr. and feel free to comment there. Thanks! —sroc 💬 06:03, 14 May 2015 (UTC) Horn (instrument)Please stop blindly replacing this with a link to French horn. There are many horns that are not French horns and without clearer indication it is often a mistake to assume that is what was meant. older ≠ wiser 03:39, 17 May 2015 (UTC)
Not every horn is a French hornA hornplayer is often able to play not only the valved French horn but also the natural horn. How can we solve that? "Horn (instrument)" left it open. (If you guess that I think the page move was a big mistake you guess right.) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:20, 17 May 2015 (UTC) ps: sorry I didn't see the above, feel supported --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:21, 17 May 2015 (UTC) ps: I fixed one instance where automatically replacing "horn (instrument)" by "French horn" changed an image file name. I have no time for more of the kind. Please check yourself. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:18, 17 May 2015 (UTC) ps: Links to Natural horn are intended. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:22, 17 May 2015 (UTC)

Regards, Ncmvocalist (talk) 18:37, 17 May 2015 (UTC) Affect Co., Ltd.Hi BD2412. I read your post on Japanese Wikipedia. Affect Co., Ltd. is one of the subcontract company of game developers. A subcontract company is almost never credited in Japanese games, so there are few information about the company, and many people does not know the company. I suppose you know Tose Co., Ltd., Tose is a biggest subcontract company in Japan, but there is not much information about the company even in Japanese. I can't also find much about Affect Co., Ltd. in Japanese. Last, but not least, this is not based on reliable sources, but my supposition. You should not fully believe in this information. Regards, --Nyoki2 (talk) 17:00, 20 May 2015 (UTC) Your draft article, Draft:WeightliftingHello, BD2412.

If you plan on editing the page to address the issues raised when it was declined and resubmit it, simply edit the submission and remove the If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you want to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by one of two methods (don't do both): 1) follow the instructions at WP:REFUND/G13, or 2) copy this code: Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing.

By Pie House — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pie House (talk • contribs) 16:06, 22 May 2015 (UTC) Exhaustion doctrineThere is a tag at the top of Exhaustion doctrine that says not enough non-US law. I supplied some Canadian and German law. Do you think you could enlist a UK Wikipedian to provide a subhead on UK law? How about French, EU, Neth., etc.? There ought to be a WP institutionalized way to get comparative law input from fellow WPians in other countries == at least UK and Canada.

Move(s) of "The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress"BD, greetings. I wonder if I could make a suggestion without meaning offense? The page's move not that important an issue (perhaps, you and I have just a different understanding and liking on how to perform disambiguations), but it might be a good idea to leave a more complete explanation for it on the article's talk page. Sometimes a revert is obvious (wrong spelling on a page, etc.), sometimes, like this case, it is more complicated. For their very nature, comments have to be short, and they can therefore be interpreted as snappy/patronizing/downright insulting, because there's no space to try a smooth-over (if such a word exists). One editor I've clashed with and therefore followed a bit is apparently not doing it, and whether he was right or not, some of his interaction with other editors made for a sick reading. Sorry for taking up your time, MinorStoop (talk) 19:14, 28 May 2015 (UTC)
