This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new.

Overly hasty changes on Harmonium, etc.Greetings, I saw the series of chops you did on various reed organ articles today. I'm not thrilled that you did this without advance warning, no pinging involved authors, and the one single Talk page post you made was in reply to a 3 year old merge request. I'd say this was inappropriate: even absolute worst-case scenario these articles were not so "wrong" that they needed to be urgently corrected. What would've been so bad about posting at each of the articles saying "here's my idea, what do you guys think?" Maybe post at the India and Musical Instruments wikiprojects to let folks know. User:Opus88888 created the Harmonium (hand-pumped) fork back in July without mentioning it to anyone, and that wasn't cool either, but neither is your undiscussed move. I'm considering just reverting all those changes back to the status quo ante until we can get some consensus for these moves. Any reason why I shouldn't just do that? Speaking procedurally, not in terms of "here's why Cosprings is correct musicologically". I just think this kind of extensive label tweaking of the reed organ family shouldn't be done by one person in one day without any discussion.

I note that you are getting a bunch of link-to-disambig-pages notices. Are you understanding about not linking to disambig pages? For instance, one would (basically) never put a link to (let's say) Sebastian Cabot in an article, since there are two Sebastian Cabots and so that link just takes the reader to a page that looks like this:
which is seldom useful. Instead, you would want to write [[Sebastian Cabot (actor)|Sebastian Cabot]]. The first part (before the pipe character (the "|")) describes where the link goes; the second part (after the pipe character) describes what the user sees. (I use "where it goes - what it shows" as a mnemonic to remember which is which.) This way, the user still sees "Sebastian Cabot" but the link takes him directly to our page for Charles Sebastian Thomas Cabot, the actor. If the name is extremely unusual (Mortomero Quisenberry, say) then probably there isn't a disambig page and you can just write "[[Mortomero Quisenberry]]". If the name is very usual (Ed Smith, say) then there most certainly will be a disambig page and you'll need to use write "[[Ed Smith (actor)|Ed Smith]]" or whatever. If it's in-between you'll have to check. Generally you should check by following the link yourself. Any questions about this, feel free to message me.

Interestingly, no article existed for the band itself, so I just created one. It's based on the Portuguese version (my translation), adding some links and some categories suitable for English WikiPedia, and InterWiki links for the Languages section. I then back-tracked to articles about the band members and collaborators, and added inlinks to the new topic. Since it's based on the PT article, which did not have a ton of references, neither does this version. That's a defect which should be fixed, and a lot of the claims made in the article should be checked out and either referenced, or removed (notably, the opinion stated in the last sentence of the article). Feel free to have a look at Quarteto Novo, and help me improve it.

Also, I have revised the Gonzales and Mountain pages, and will also review other such pages. Thank you kindly again,--Soulparadox (talk) 04:53, 25 March 2013 (UTC) Hi mate! I changed your edit to the above for a couple of reasons. 1. I thought moving a controversy section to the lede might create some WP:WEIGHT issues in terms of content, even more so because that section is un-sourced (yep, need to fix that). 2. Because that section mentions a specific brand. In a topic area that is all about brands, including one particular one in the lede probably gives it more prominence that is justifiable. All of that said, I have no problem with a summary of the controversy section being included in the lede. Nor do I have any problem with the controversy section being expanded with refs to further justify that. More than happy to discuss and come up with a workable solution.

How about you discuss these things first?You just unilaterally deleted/merged a whole bunch of pages without discussing it and without any edit summaries. There is absolutely no consensus for your changes, let alone common sense. What could have sorted with a general discussion on the project talk page was done without any discussion at all. Of course it was reverted. You tried this yesterday and were reverted. What made you think doing it to key subject articles would produce a different result? Stalwart111 14:24, 4 May 2013 (UTC)
Declined CSD of Dropping inI've declined your CSD. In the future, please reference a deletion criteria when requesting a speedy. If you have additional concerns, please bring the article to AfD. LFaraone 17:26, 4 May 2013 (UTC) re Stan Kenton againWell, let's think about this together. It's my understanding that Kenton did indeed write those songs, and you're not contending that the info is false. Finding a source showing that Kenton wrote those songs should be fairly easy, using allmusic.om or whatever. I think that you should to that instead of removing the info. If you don't want to to that, tag the material with {{citation needed}} so someone else will. (I'm not going to do it because I no interest in Stan Kenton and don't consider the list problematical, You apparently do, so it's your job to fix the perceived problem by getting the sources, or tagging for later citation.) In your edit summary you wrote "Kenton wrote 100s of songs. Removing unsourced section", so from the first sentence I infer that the real problem, to your mind, may be that the list is incomplete. The problem here is: well of course it is, and intentionally so: the sections begins with "Stan Kenton's compositions included..." (emphasis added). I'd say that we're allowed to survey a composer's complete works and list or mention those which are most notable or otherwise of special interest, and this is commonly done. Otherwise, we would be in position where we would only be allowed to list all of a composer's works or none of them. That would be highly idiosyncratic position to hold and one that few would agree with, I think. (Tagging the list with {{incomplete list}} would arguably be OK though, and you could do that if you wanted to I suppose, although it looks like the list is not intended to be exhaustive.) If your issue is that the list should include a different subset of his work, that's reasonable and reasonable people can discuss this. If that's your issue you need to say so. Wikipedia is not paper. There's plenty of room here. Deleting a partial list of a composer's work for idiosyncratic reasons, or for no reason, and edit warring over it is not going to get us where we want to go. There is a lot of unsourced material in the Wikipedia, and simply deleting material that is believed true is not helpful. Well, it depends on the case. In this case it's not helpful, I don't think. If there's reason to believe that material is false, that'd be entirely different. But you're not claiming that. So if you're deleting that material simply because it's not sourced, that's overly pedantic and you should stop doing that. If you're deleting the material because of some idiosyncratic belief -- that all lists of works must be complete, or that there's too much info in Wikipedia articles generally, or whatever -- and just using lack of sourcing as an excuse, that's disingenuous and you should stop doing that. If there's some other reason, you should so state on the talk page and we can discusss it. I reverted your deletion per WP:BRD. You should read that page and take it to heart, and you should not just restore your revisions again. That would be edit warring and is frowned upon. Take your case for deleting the section to the article talk page, and if you convince me and others of the propriety of the deletion, then we'll make it so. If not, then so be it. I've opened a thread on the article talk page and I think that further discussion should go there. Herostratus (talk) 14:07, 5 May 2013 (UTC)
AgainI've tried to be nice about this but you have absolutely no basis or consensus for your unilateral delete-by-redirect campaign. For whatever reason you have refused to discuss it so until you actually explain what you're trying to do (you know, on talk pages, without bizarre broken-English insults) your deletions will continue to be reverted. Your editing is becoming disruptive, and you know it. Stalwart111 22:55, 5 May 2013 (UTC)
Re: Freestyle skateboarding tricksWell, I'm happy you've taken up my offer to discuss one of these before trying to delete it again. But just because an article is unsourced, doesn't mean it should be deleted and that's exactly what two different admins told you in refusing to delete three articles you nominated for speedy deletion. Instead of just deleting articles, how about helping us WP:FIXTHEPROBLEM? In fact, that's basically the point of WP:BEFORE. Already I've gone back and rewritten/sourced two of the articles you tried to delete. You're right that WP is not a "skateboarding fan website" and I have no intention of turning it into as much. The purpose of restarting the Skateboarding WikiProject was to start sourcing articles. As at last December, most of the skateboarding-related articles had no sources at all. Most were pure WP:HOWTO or WP:OR. Soulparadox and I have systematically gone through related articles to fix sourcing, original research and strip much of the rubbish out. I don't have an outright objection to articles being deleted, but let's at least try to see if we can find some sources before we go down that path. Yeah? Stalwart111 21:32, 9 May 2013 (UTC)

I do not think that Eliquate fits any of the speedy deletion criteria because "no assertion of notability" is not a valid speedy deletion criterion. If you meant A7, which is a much lower bar than notability, in my view this article is over the A7 bar. I request that you consider not re-tagging Eliquate for speedy deletion without discussing the matter on the appropriate talk page.

Redirecting Saturday Night Live sketchesHello, Cosprings. You recently redirected many articles about individual Saturday Night Live characters or sketches to the article about the television series, removing a great deal of content in the process. Although many of those articles need better sources or other clean-up, I see no consensus to remove the information from Wikipedia. Your edit summaries (typically, "Redirected page to Saturday Night Live") do not explain your thinking on the changes. I have therefore restored the page content using the "undo" function. If you believe that these articles should be removed and their names redirected to Saturday Night Live, you may want to discuss that with other editors, either on the individual article talk pages or at some central location such as Talk:Saturday Night Live or Wikipedia:Village pump. If you start a central discussion, you should probably note that fact on the talk pages of each article being discussed. Cnilep (talk) 02:14, 20 February 2014 (UTC)

For a long time, I was uncertain about whether to keep them together or separate them, but I leaned toward the latter because the list could grow really unwieldy. See this old talk page discussion for the problems with the list. I ended up splitting the two on the advice of the article's an experienced editor who reviewed the main article; see WP:Peer review/Ancient Egyptian deities/archive1. I really don't think merging them back is the sort of change that should be carried out without discussion. A. Parrot (talk) 17:59, 2 August 2014 (UTC)
Re: More about EgyptNo idea. My specialty is ancient Egyptian religion, and I've only been a member of the ancient Egypt project since 2008, so I don't know much about what went on before then, outside the religious articles.

Not sure how many users are still active as normal Wikipedia editors but felt the need to attempt to get a gauge on who can be called on for help with articles falling under the umbrella of the African diaspora project. According to the project's article table there are over six thousand articles related to the African diaspora; there's not a hundred at FA/GA grade and there's over twelve hundred that are unassessed. With Wikipedia being one of the major information reference points in the world today we should consider this unacceptable. Much work needs to be done on the rating of the importance of articles as well. With more communication amongst participants and a dedication to addressing the articles on the to-do list I believe we can make this WikiProject one of the most well organized and thorough on the site. If you are interested in collaborative work with some of your fellow project members, have certain expertise on any particular subjects, ideals on/about the WikiProject, etc. simply drop your name under the "Project revision" section I've created on the project's talk page and state your intentions and main points of interest in our WikiProject and we can attempt to move forward from there.

A tag has been placed on Arkadia Jazz, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information. 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 deleted 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.

Talk! 18:24, 13 May 2025 (UTC) Suspension of autopatrolled permission due to inactivityHello Cosprings. Following a request for comment in May 2025, the community has decided to implement an activity requirement for the autopatrolled permission. Because your account has not edited in the last three years, the autopatrolled permission has been removed from your account. This action is purely procedural and does not affect your ability to create articles; if you return to actively creating articles, you may request that the permission be restored through the normal process. When returning, please consider taking some time to re-familiarize yourself with common practices and how they may have changed over the past few years if you wish to request the permission back. Thank you for all of your contributions to Wikipedia, and we hope to see you again soon. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 06:18, 14 May 2025 (UTC) |
