User:Sagecandor

I've written and created a lot of high quality new articles (see list: User:Sagecandor#Articles_created). It was kindly suggested to me by Nicnote to ask for this. I've got 9,000 edits over 7 months. Thank you ! Sagecandor (talk) 23:10, 14 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Sagecandor: Could you please comment on your understanding of when the page mover right should be used, or your experience in contributing to move discussions. Thanks, Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 10:06, 24 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Callanecc:Thank you for your question. I have a lot of experience moving articles and I have the experience and depth of knowledge necessary to decide whether articles require a redirect or not - I see some articles that do not require a redirect and would rather deal with this myself. Sagecandor (talk) 02:27, 27 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks Sagecandor, could you please give me an example of when articles don't require a redirect after being moved. Thanks, Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 10:39, 27 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Callanecc:Great question, thank you. Articles don't require a redirect after being moved, if the redirect would be confusing for the reader and could instead be targeted to a disambiguation page based on multiple potential results, if the redirect is abusive perhaps as the result of pagemove vandalism, and if the redirect could maybe be its own fully fleshed out article page and the page it links to doesn't have sufficient info on the subject.

 Done - your replies to questions have satisfied me that you know what you're doing. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 08:16, 28 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

User:Emir of Wikipedia

I'm just going to go ahead and request this on their behalf. They have well beyond the requirements, and per this thread they're active in areas where it will be helpful. Two years on the project, almost 20k edits, and a clean block log. No reason not to do it. TimothyJosephWood 22:46, 20 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Emir of Wikipedia: do you want this? — xaosflux Talk 17:07, 21 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Xaosflux: To be able to move articles between different namespaces, to help with requests at WP:RM/TR, and to be able to do round robin moves. Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 18:49, 21 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
No worries, just making sure it was something you actually wanted - editors aren't normally "nominated" on this one. — xaosflux Talk 20:44, 21 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

User:Usernamekiran

I haven't moved many pages as of now, but I do have a clear understanding of the policies. Recently I came across a page move which I could not undo, leading to this. The only other request was submitted a couple of months ago about a Ben 10 page.
If granted the flag, I can contribute actively at WP:Requested moves, and it might also be useful to move pages while reviewing new pages. (New editors/single purpose editors sometimes tend to be stubborn, they might move the page; leading to similar situation of Latur junction.) Thanks for considering my request. Best, —usernamekiran(talk) 14:30, 23 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Note: I recently converted WP:MAFIA as a "semi-active" wikiproject. Currently, there is only one active member (NorthAmerica1000) other than me. There has been no work through the project as of now (i am still working on it offline), but soon it will go in action. At that time, this flag will come in handy, as there might be a few technical moves to perform. It wouldnt be efficient to go to WP:Requested moves, page mover, or an admin everytime. If there is any doubtful rename, i will discuss it before moving forward. The project is the main reason i am requesting for this flag. Surprisingly i forgot to mention it in my original request. —usernamekiran(talk) 15:47, 23 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

User:DrStrauss

I’d like to apply for page mover rights as it will enable me to perform round-robin technical moves which I cannot currently execute and prevent the necessity of CSD-ing pages I move on capitalisation grounds (eg: [1]).
It will also be useful for the Sander.v.Ginkel page moving case of which I am a participant (Fram is co-ordinating).
Furthermore, I have seen odd instances of page move vandalism but I am cautious of reverting it because leaving behind a redirect would create the impression that I created said page (eg: [2] was one I saw but was cautious but luckily another user reverted it).
My move log shows a good understanding of WP:AT, WP:PTOPIC and WP:QUALIFIER which will be important if I need to mediate an editing dispute as to an article title (egs: [3], [4]).
I have applied for this right before and after sounding out several admins on IRC I’ve decided to apply now after my wiki-break as doing it before wouldn’t have made sense really. DrStrauss talk 17:08, 27 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
