DPLI am pestering you again, because you have been on Wiki a lot longer than I have. H, who we discussed recently, seems to have their head screwed on. So does Q, who has this month fixed a remarkable number of links. I've looked at several of their fixes, and they seemed to me sound enough. You might care to take a look also, in case I'm wrong. DPL may have another new recruit, and a long-time user at that. As for me, I'm just going to keep plugging away in the depths of the Bonus List. I've just reached "Se-"; so, less than 4,000 to go to the end, now. When I've done what I can with that lot, I plan to start again from the top for the new stuff which has appeared behind me.

History of swimwearHi there. Just letting you know that in this edit you added a spurious gallery to the 1940's section. The only reason I'm bringing it up is because from the edit summary it looks as though you used an automated tool to perform the edit - did you intend to add the gallery, or is the tool malfunctioning?

Redirect template updatesGreetings BD2412. You recently replaced a bunch of redirect templates, but results are wrong. For example: Industry, California
{{Redirect category shell | {{R from move}} }} The Donald
{{Redirect category shell | {{R from nickname}} {{R unprintworthy}} }} I fixed those two example cases, the latter being actually a {{Redirect from misspelling}}. I let you figure out how to fix all your changes. Note that it is recommended to leave two newlines before the {{Redirect category shell}}, whereas a lot of redirect pages have the {{redr}} template directly behind the redirect code; you might want to fix that too. Best of luck! — JFG talk 03:25, 25 April 2017 (UTC)
SyFyHi, by moving {{pp-move-indef}} to the top, you broke the redirect. For a redirect to work, it must be at the very start of the page's code. You can preview a redirect before you save: if what you have is a working redirect then it will display as a bent arrow followed by a link to the target page. — Smjg (talk) 11:08, 25 April 2017 (UTC) Replacing depreciated template {{This is a redirect}}Hello BD2412. I noticed some recent edits of yours using AWB to replace the depreciated #REDIRECT [[Augustus Holmes Kenan]] {{Redr|from personal name|from short name}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Kenan, Augustus}} After your edit, the page is arranged with the following content, as shown: #REDIRECT [[Augustus Holmes Kenan]] {{This is a redirect|from personal name|from short name}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Kenan, Augustus}} You are adding an extra new line between #REDIRECT [[Augustus Holmes Kenan]] {{Redirect category shell|{{R from personal name}}{{R from short name}} }} {{DEFAULTSORT:Kenan, Augustus}}
#REDIRECT [[Augustus Holmes Kenan]] {{Redirect category shell| {{R from personal name}} {{R from short name}} }} {{DEFAULTSORT:Kenan, Augustus}} Best regards.--John Cline (talk) 05:08, 28 April 2017 (UTC)
Ah, interesting, I misread the template you were shifting around. My apologies. However, doing massive AWB runs that only alter whitespace are generally not permitted per COSMETICBOT. So I highly suggest that even if a #REDIRECT doesn't have a space between it and the {{redr}} you should leave it be. Primefac (talk) 19:52, 30 April 2017 (UTC)

Mind control?Thanks for correcting my mistake of redirecting Mind control to its disambiguation page. However I still see a problem and I'm not sure what to do. As you said, consensus says that brainwashing should be called brainwashing, not called mind control. But that's what the redirect does now, redirects mind control to brainwashing.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on Springs, Alexander requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, images, a rephrasing of the title, a question that should have been asked at the help or reference desks, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content. 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, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Semi-protected Edit Template on Jesus ChristOn WP:Neutral_point_of_view/Noticeboard#Jesus_Christ There's an ongoing discussion regarding the template you used to semi-protect our article Jesus Christ. I had to use the bracketed version because someone placed a redirect to our article Jesus on it. Which works, and should seem to remove any NPOV concerns regarding Jesus Christ, but Hijiri 88 is wishing to change the template from your wording to a less-restrictive version. Since you're still an active editor, I think your reasoning for the existing template would contribute considerably to the disucssion. Please consider adding it to that discussion.

Plus... a requestHello BD2412, You have really cleaned up the Nolan BLP nicely! I doubt that it will stay that way for long, but it is in much better condition than before. You managed to include all the relevant content while remaining truthful but avoiding anything scurrilous that has not yet been established in a court of law. The real reason that I am here is because I would like to know how you added the two very large bouncing Wikipedia balls to your user page. I have a small discrete one at the bottom of mine, but I like yours better. I don't want to open your user page for editing and go poking around to figure it out, so I will just ask you directly. Another positive about your version: Your bouncing Wikipedia even shows up on hover-over! I want mine to too! Thank you for considering my request.--FeralOink (talk) 03:25, 17 May 2017 (UTC)

You closed Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Waking the Tiger (2nd nomination) as delete. In the AfD, I provided one book review:
After the AfD was closed, I found a second book review:
The book has received reviews in two peer-reviewed journals: Psychosomatic Medicine and Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine. It therefore meets Wikipedia:Notability (books)#Criteria #1. Would you restore the article? Only one editor commented after I posted the first review and didn't address it in his or her comment. No editors have commented about the second review because I did not find it until now. Toddst1 (talk · contribs) and Mackensen (talk · contribs) cited Wikipedia:Notability (books)#Criteria in their comments. I can add those two sources to the article, and I hope Jondel (talk · contribs) and Jclemens (talk · contribs) will be fine with taking a look at the new sources too.

Orange, the new black?bd2412, I was wondering if you could help me understand something. Every once in awhile, I come across a dablink (orange, since I have a script) that links to a non-dab page, and I haven't been able to figure out why. An example is the redirect Shoah, which targets The Holocaust. It shows up in the Christianity and antisemitism article as orange, and yet the popup clearly shows that it redirects to a non-dab page. It also appears in the Special pages:Pages linking to disambiguation pages as #941. So what I don't get is why Shoah is on that SP list and shows up as an orange link that needs to be dabbed?

Your closing note at this AFDHi BD2412, you closed the Efe Ejeba's AFD with "... Please note that this is not intended to impugn their motives; however, editors with little experience in editing Wikipedia are likely to have a grasp of sourcing and notability requirements.", what I think you meant was ... Please note that this is not intended to impugn their motives; however, editors with little experience in editing Wikipedia are likely NOT to have a grasp of sourcing and notability requirements..

Darreg (talk) 18:57, 21 May 2017 (UTC) Ji, ZhangI was about to WP:RFD this redirect to Zhang Ji, when I noticed who had created it. This is a Chinese name in which the surname is Zhang and the given name Ji; so this reads rather like e.g. John, Smith.

So I did manual archiving, and found the Talk page linked to Talk:Signal (disambiguation)/One and was not linking to the new archive, but to Signal. I tried renaming/moving the article to "Signal/One (company)" with no success. I tried undoing some redirects as well. It looks like at some point you moved the page to Talk:Signal (disambiguation)/One as the result of a discussion, but I can't find any details. At this point, Talk:Signal/One_(company) still shows a pointer to Talk:Signal. I apologize for my lack of knowledge in this area. How can I fix it? - LuckyLouie (talk) 16:21, 25 May 2017 (UTC)

Almost anything using the term "Ruthenian" to refer to people, dioceses, events, or places in Europe should be linking to the UGCC (historically known as the Ruthenian Catholic Church or the Ruthenian Uniate Church), as well as anything in Canada, or generally almost any usage not referring to the United States or (some) relatively recent references to Zakarpatia or the Czech Republic. You're actually sowing more confusion than you are clearing up. Please go back and check the changes you've made, and where necessary either switch them to the UGCC or revert them if you can't tell which one is actually right.
