Shroud of Turin

  • Hi, there is a discussion Talk:Shroud_of_Turin#Research_in_2009:_forged_by_Leonardo_da_Vinci.3F regarding your recent addition to the article on its talk page. (Off2riorob (talk) 12:26, 2 July 2009 (UTC))
  • Hi anthony, You can't really add that comment as who was increasigly considering it a fake? It is our personal weight added to the story, it is another conspiracy theory..it is easier to keep the comment simple and allow the reader to go and have a look for himself, it is a comment on the documentory...it's better left out. (Off2riorob (talk) 20:44, 3 July 2009 (UTC))
    • It was not my supposition, it was on the television program. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 22:07, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
  • The more I looked at your addition the less I liked it, I have removed it with an edit summary of...unsubstantiable supposition....perhaps we could discuss it (Off2riorob (talk) 22:04, 3 July 2009 (UTC))

Reading comprehension in the United States

  • I not too sure what has happened to the move you made for me but some one as moved it back to where we moved it from with no discussion, and this could become develop into an editing war, which I and trying to avoid, as the editor who made this move does not appear to understand logical discussion but only her personal point of view can you help out there. The move you made for me was From Reading Comprehension to Reading comprehension in the United States which has now been moved back to Reading Comprehension By User:WhatamIdoing. can you step in and put things right dolfrog (talk) 23:48, 5 July 2009 (UTC)
  • "What happened" is that both of the editors who responded on the talk page thought that the move was a bad idea.
    "Understanding what's written on a page" (otherwise known as "reading comprehension") is simply not a US-specific topic, even if most of the current content uses examples based on the US's practices. The importance of understanding what you're reading predates the existence of the United States by about five millenia.
    Anthony, please consider any similar requests from Dolfrog more carefully in the future. You couldn't have known, but he has made many similar requests. His major goal seems to be forking as many education- and dyslexia-related articles as possible into country-specific articles. WhatamIdoing (talk) 23:56, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

Edwin Siu Deletion

  • Hi, I notice that you deleted this page around March 2009, can I know why you deleted this page? I would like to start a page about Edwin, but I just dont want to make the previous contributor mistake and get it delete again. Thanks ! ~E (talk) 01:56, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
  • Page Edwin Siu contained merely "{{db-nocontext}} Edwin Siu is an actor/singer for TVB". A useful article should contain more information than that. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 05:56, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
    • I'm still a newbie here so I'll apologize if I ask something silly here. I have created a sandbox page in here: [1]. Can you take a look and give me some feedback? Would that be enough to be a stub? Thanks ~E (talk) 01:23, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

Contested move → Requested move discussion

Hi there. Just letting you know that the bot didn't transclude the Alfalfa RM properly because the first text at Talk:Alfalfa#Title wasn't in the normal format. I've fixed it somewhat haphazardly, hopefully the bot won't overwrite it. Anyway, I think it would've been better to let the user who made the original request start the RM themselves, in case they wanted to change their rationale or if they'd changed their mind about the request entirely. -kotra (talk) 23:15, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

State and State (disambiguation)

  • Hi, There has been cut n' paste edit war movement between these two - the disam page was at plain "State" - see latest talk section there. What is now "State" is mostly from "Sovereign state" with a new lead & bits - again cut n' paste I think. It's all rather a mess I'm afraid. Cheers, Johnbod (talk) 12:35, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

Hi Anthony,

Could you please help me restore This file - just for 5 minutes - so I can find the original website of that file.

After that, you may delete it again. Thankyou. --Amazonien (talk) 10:04, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

  • Thanks for commenting. I'm curious, why did you de-thread the discussion? This makes it more difficult to follow what was said. I've actually never seen anyone do that before. Viriditas (talk) 06:15, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

Russian cultural register

  • I don';t think the intent was to blank, but to move it from userspace to mainspace in its current form & the ed. got confused about where to putt he tags. I restored it, but you might try to check with them. DGG (talk) 16:47, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
  • The page is Russian cultural heritage register. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 16:50, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

  • A look at page Russian cultural heritage register will show that it contains its text and has NOT been blanked. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 16:58, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
  • OK, OK, sorry, I likely for once forgot to revert off the junk edit that histmerging adds to the end of the page's history. Anthony Appleyard (talk)

Sts Thomas Minster

Also on Talk:Sts Thomas Minster.
  • Hi, I attempted to rename St Thomas's Minster to the correct style Sts Thomas Minster by creating a new page and adding a redirect on the original page. I appreciate now that this method meant the history was not merged amd request to mege was added which you completed with due diligence. However, I note that the new article is again rendered in the incorrect single form St Thomas Minster. The official web site has the titles The Minster Church of Sts Thomas, http://www.newportparish.org.uk/ Newport Minster (Sts Thomas) and Newport Minster http://www.newportparish.org.uk/. Hence, any of these should be used in preference to both my proposed title or the existing one (according to preferred styles) although I may sugggest, since it is Newpot Minster and "Sts Thomas" is used in popular reference to the church, the title with parenthesis might be best (?). Whichever title, it remains that all references in the articles should be to the plural form Sts as per the proper title. Thank you for your help Dainamo (talk) 23:51, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
  • An additioanl mention of using the period/full stop after Sts. is on the talk page which for consistency with other articles can be included. Dainamo (talk) 00:12, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

recently moved page mush (maize) to coosh

  • greetings: recently you moved mush (maize) to coosh as requested by user:Emerson7. a google search (in the usa) returned 5 results for 'coosh' and there isnt a listing at m-w.com or wiktionary. is this a regional term? EDITED badmachine (talk) 05:49, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

    • okay. emerson7 sourced it and it looks right. thank you. badmachine (talk) 15:39, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

Discussion?

Interesting, ok. My first instinct is to say let it be to avoid anyone else move-warring, but I may be paranoid. The "sourced" name would be simply "National Parks of Taiwan" [2] without the prefix "List of" (the article has grown beyond a list). SchmuckyTheCat (talk)

Proposed deletion of Melissa Palmer, M.D.

The article Melissa Palmer, M.D. has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non-notable physician - only one ref in PubMed, very few hits on google scholar and one consumer oriented book

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 {{dated prod}} 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 {{dated prod}} will stop the Proposed Deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The Speedy Deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and Articles for Deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. —G716 <T·C> 22:23, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

Rip Cord move

  • Hi. Why did you query Rip Cord? It's a simple misspelling that I provided proof of. Thanks.--Flash176 (talk) 05:18, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
  • Both spellings are used. I thought that I better get it discussed. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 05:22, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
    • I disagree (1 word spelling has only recently been used due to loss of copyright), but fair enough. Thanks for doing your job.--Flash176 (talk) 05:27, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

Changes to Naturopathic doctor subheading

  • In an effort to improve the writing and content of the entry on Naturopathy, I made some changes last night to the subheading Naturopathic doctors. I am unclear as to why my changes were reverted. All of my changes were appropriately cited and the grammar and structure of the entry was improved, and more importantly, the content was not significantly changed. My main reasons for changing the current entry are:

-That variations on the phrase "homeopathy ... pseudoscience ... quackery" appear no less than three times in the entry. That's just bad writing. Nonetheless, I understand the importance attached to these words, and so left them in, while at least improving the general writing style of the entry.

-That the phrase "scientifically disproven" can't be validated. It is nearly impossible to fully prove a scientific theory, and likewise it is nearly impossible to fully disprove something as well. The two articles I cited contradict the statement 'scientifically disproven'. The phrase 'highly disputed' is more accurate.

-The phrase 'irreconcilable with modern science and medicine' was altered only because I was starting a new sentence and I wanted to improve grammar.

-The entry is not clear regarding on what grounds the Massachusetts Medical Society objected to licensing naturopaths, and so I expanded that sentence to reflect the content of the citation given.

Can you please tell me why the changes were reverted? I am unclear about the comment 'Deleted to make way for move'.. Kpaddock (talk) 16:41, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

Deletion of Gillian Tett

  • Can you please tell me why you deleted the entry on Gillian Tett, one of Britain's and INternational Finance's most prominent and influential journalists?

Speedy Deletion of Sunrise Software

  • Hi Anthony, it appears my somewhat hasty edit last night was not enough to prevent speedy deletion of this article - that'll teach me for rushing things. I completely respect your decision, but I am still a little confused as to why this particular article was less notable than those about other similar organsiations (as listed on the talk page). Thanks in advance for your advice. AndySonden (talk) 11:29, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
  • A user speedy-delete-tagged it "non-notable corporation" (see WP:NN and WP:CORP). As you admitted that you work for the firm Sunrise Software described, parhaps wait until an independent third-party writes an article about it. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 11:38, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
  • Afternoon Anthony, thanks very much for your reply. Having read the two links you kindly provided, I just want to ask why the references listed(including one national magazine, and a national report from a UK Government organisation) did not meet the criteria for verifiable secondary sources. Did I simply not provide enough? Whilst I understand that effectively self-authoring the article may be undesirable, I did make every effort to remain impartial and therefore retain the integrity of Wikipedia. AndySonden (talk) 14:48, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
  • I have undeleted it and AfD'ed it. Please comment in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sunrise Software. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 14:56, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Case management (disambiguation)

Redirects to a page that is already a disambiguation page.

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 {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Word usage -- puncture/hole on Dry suit

  • Hi Anthony, I see you've used the word "hole" in the phrase "Reasonable care must be taken not to hole or tear membrane dry suits" -- I understand that you've heard the term used many times before, but I don't think it can be deemed to be encyclopaedic language? Hole isn't a verb, unless used in a slang way -- "puncture", even if it may only mean "making a small hole" to you, is still correct here.... in the same way as an iceberg can puncture the hull of a ship... perhaps "rupture" would work better? Fattonyni (talk) 14:19, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
  • The expression "holed below the waterline" (of a ship or boat) is common. Google search found "about 3010 hits" for it. And see http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/holing Anthony Appleyard (talk) 14:53, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Move reversal

Anthony, I've just posted a move request at Talk:Santorum, to reverse a recent good-faith move that was fairly clearly going to be controversial. I recall seeing discussion of this sort of situation before, but don't recall the answer, and since you're experienced at WP:RM I thought you might know. What is the right course of action when someone does that? Since WP:RM is pretty clear about saying that a move should be requested first and not moved boldly, it seems it would be fair to reverse such a move prior to discussion to avoid faits accompli. No big deal if that's not the standard approach, but I thought it was worth asking. Thanks -- Mike Christie (talk) 23:01, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Naked-eye planet

Looks like we have a consensus at Talk:Naked-eye planet. Once it's renamed we'll create a disambiguation page to Classical planet (ancient) and Classical planet (modern), the latter for the AUI usuage.

Move request ignored for Processional

  • I made a move request for Processional (play) to be restored to its original article title, Processional, on the basis of WP:DAB, but you have ignored it without an explanation. Could you please explain? Many thanks, DionysosProteus (talk) 12:21, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
  • The word "processional" has other meanings, and the play is not well known. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 22:57, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
I see, thank you for your reply. However, WP:DISAMBIG states, under the section "What not to include/Dictionary definitions" that "A disambiguation page is not a list of dictionary definitions". The section describing "Page style" states that we should "Only include related subject articles if the term in question is actually described on the target article." I checked Hymn and "processional" does not appear in its article. Consequently, hymn should not appear on a disambiguation page from Processional. The play may not be well-known to you, but that is not a reason why it should not occupy the appropriate article space. In light of this, would you please be kind enough to proceed with the move as requested. Many thanks, DionysosProteus (talk) 23:29, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

How do you propose a whole group of pages for deletion?

Hi, Anthony! How do you propose a whole group of pages for deletion? I have stumbled across a collection of pages that IMO can only be described as spamming. Could you take a look at this situation, and if you agree the individual subjects are not “notable” and not worthy of having a Wikipedia article apiece, could you maybe take the necessary steps to merge them and/or delete the minor ones? It seems to me they need to be looked at as a group, not as individual pages, but I don't know if there is any mechanism to do that.

Here's the problem: When someone set up the article about the San Diego Trolley, in addition to the main article which is fine, they created twenty or more individual articles about individual trolley stops. Each stop is already listed on the main page, so the articles about the individual stops are redundant, and most of them are stubs.

Here’s the list of pages I would propose for deletion:

And possibly also, although they contain slightly more content than the pages listed above:

In addition, each of the three trolley lines has its own article:

again duplicating what is at San Diego Trolley.

And then to complete the spam, they created FIVE special categories for all these semi-worthless pages! And also two special templates - which in themselves were given their own category! The categories are:

  • Category:San Diego Trolley stations
  • Category:San Diego Trolley lines
  • Category:San Diego Trolley
  • Category:San Diego Trolley templates
  • Category:San Diego Trolley Blue Line

I really thing this is spamming. There is no way all this stuff is "notable". A single article, San Diego Trolley, should be sufficient IMO. If you agree, can you take some action to clean house? Thanks a lot!

Murrow North railway station

A tag has been placed on Murrow North railway station, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a redirect from an implausible typo.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you believe that there is a reason to keep the redirect, you can request that administrators wait a while before deleting it. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}} to the page and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

RE: Swimfin

Hi, regarding swim fins, I'd renamed the category Flip-fin to "fin variants" and added in Shin-Fin and Force fin, as they are all variants on paddle fins, but differ only in the style of attachment. Flip fin was retained in the text, but I'd toned down the detail of it, as no other brands are comprehensively discussed the fin types (Apart from Mor-fin, but they're weird enough to have a category of their own.). Also I'd changed the "commercial site with images" to a reference link, as I didn't think the inline text was necessary. I'd be grateful if you could have another look at it (Also the edits I'd made), as I feel the section reads a bit like an advertorial as it is, and could be modified to include other variants in attachement architecture.

Isengard

Hi Anthony, you dealt with the Isengard articles earlier that i had left a message on the RM page about. You moved Isengard (Middle-earth) back to Isengard where it had originally been until yesterday, but i see you then went on to move it back because you saw my other post on that page in the contested move section. Ive not had much experience with page moves so i first put that message there. After reading that uncontroversial move section more and seeing it say moves done without dicussion can be reverted and are eligable to be listed in the uncontroversial section i added it there too.

I have removed the "Controversial" move request i added and left a message on the editors talk page who made the page moves yesterday about what i have done (moved the DAB page he created at Isengard to Isengard (disambiguation) and said that i had got the Isengard (Middle-earth) article moved back to Isengard and that if there are any problems we can discuss it on the talk page). Sorry for the confusion, but is it possible for you to move it Isengard (Middle-earth) back to Isengard? Thanks for your help. BritishWatcher (talk) 21:49, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

The article should actually be at Folie à Deux (album), with the album title capitalised but not the disambiguation (at least I think that's correct, being a French phrase I'm not sure how title capitalisations would apply). Could you take another look at this for me and see what you think? Cheers. Nouse4aname (talk) 10:10, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

Removed movereq

Hi Anthony. I wanted to let you know that I removed the messed up move request from Talk:Bush airplane. I saw that you tried to fix it, but... to be honest, I'm not sure what happened, and I couldn't find it listed on Wikipedia:Requested moves any more. anyway, I notified KVDP here: Talk:KVDP#Move tag. We should probably try to keep conversation there for now, since I have a sneaking suspicion that he's turning into something that needs to be fixed (take a look at the discussion section about cooling, above the Move tag section...).

André Rocha

  • I requested a move for Andre Rocha but I reverted your move because there's a servey you need to take on the talk page where you either support or oppose the possible move of Andre Rocha, I'd prefer you take the survey and leave it at André Guerreiro Rocha until this thing is settled. – Michael (talk) 05:33, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
  • I have made André Rocha into a disambig page. (Someone has closed the survey discussion, which is in Talk:André Guerreiro Rocha.) Anthony Appleyard (talk) 06:03, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

Confused about move

  • I don't understand what you mean by this... Pcap ping 07:12, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
  • I corrected the format, as it was upsetting the bot that copies these move requests to Wikipedia:Requested moves/current. These move requests should be in the format {{subst:move|zxcvbnm}} qwertyuiop ~~~~, where zxcvbnm is the desired new name for the article, and qwertyuiop is the reason for the move; or {{subst:move|?}} qwertyuiop ~~~~ if you want the new name to be decided by discussion. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 09:22, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for the explanation! Pcap ping 09:34, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

Did you mean to make this edit?

  • [4] - you removed a chunk of text from the bottom of the page, with an edit summary of "(sign unsigned; info)". Did you mean to do that? Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 12:02, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

Integrated Diver Display Mask

  • Hi Anthony, I'm puzzled why you reverted the bot edit that unlinked Integrated Diver Display Mask in its own article. Unless I'm missing something here, we don't make self-links. I was about to remove the link again, but I thought I'd ask first. --RexxS (talk) 14:07, 30 August 2009 (UTC)
  • I reverted a big deletion. Then I checked the 6 external links for 404 and deleted 3 of them. I have just found and unlinked the self-link. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 14:14, 30 August 2009 (UTC)
  • Ah, thanks, I was beginning to wonder if I was missing a subtle reason why it would be linked. Keep up the good work and dive safe! --RexxS (talk) 14:23, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

Foo/redirects at WP:RfD

  • Hi AA, over the last 24 hours I've submitted a lot of redirects of the form Foo/redirects, Foo (redirect), or Foo (Redirects) to WP:RfD for deletion discussion. As I was double checking the histories of a few dozen of them, I've noticed your name popping up at roughly the time of their creation as a result of a move in many of them - because of this, I thought you'd might like to participate in the discussions that involved about 40 of these redirects. Your perspective would be appreciated... Thank you. 147.70.242.54 (talk) 20:14, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

History merge

  • Hi! Could you give me a hand with a history merge that I'm trying to do? I moved Ashworth College to Ashworth University, thus deleting 104 revisions of the original page. I wanted to restore 101 of them, thus merging the histories of the two pages. When I restored the revisions, however, they don't appear in the article's history at all. The history still shows the link to "104 deleted revisions", but when I follow the link there are only the three revisions left that I didn't want to include in the merge. The deletion log for the page correctly states that I restored 101 revisions, yet still the page history doesn't show the restored revisions. Have you run into such a problem? Am I perhaps doing something wrong? Thanks, Jafeluv (talk) 16:51, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

Hi

I just speedied a bunch of redirects with "redirect" in their name you created (by moving redirects) in April. Since these pages had always been redirects they can simply be overwritten/deleted/CSD'd as appropriate. Since this was in April you probably know this by know, but just in case I thought I'd drop you a note. Rich Farmbrough, 14:56, 18 September 2009 (UTC).

Ah well it would seem not per this: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Cantonese_%28linguistics%29/redirects&redirect=no. You are an admin, these redirect pages have no useful history (they just track the move of the target - which tells us almost nothing). Just speedy them, unless they have any content in the history.

Rocker jacket

  • Hi, why was there a new stub created at rocker jacket? The AfD was closed as delete, deciding that it was a non-notable term, and possibly a hoax. It seems to me that it should be at most a redirect to leather jacket. GlassCobra 18:21, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
