== Problamistic User Uanfala  ==
It had been extended edit war by Uanfala [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Saraiki_dialect&action=history] [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Hindko_dialect&action=history] [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Pothohari_dialect&action=history] [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Ghebi_dialect&action=history] [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Chhachi_dialect&action=history] . 

:* Despite nearly 10 Wikipedians not agreeing with his views on talk pages of effected Talk pages.
:* He cherry picks and tries to define dialects in to Language. 
:* Wikipedia is not a dictionary. 
:* Wikipedians can not cherry pick. 
:* Wikipedians can not impose a point a view.
:* Wikipedians move with consensus. 
:* Wikipedia is an informational project. It can not misguide about language hierarchy.
:* Only standardisation of few dialects can not make them language. However few follow this rule for defining Hindko Saraiki Potwari as language. He cherry pick those.
:* Even those "few" along with "opposite others" have details whether "Explicit" or "Implicit"  which demonstrate a common hierarchy Language Family: Indo European, Branch: Indo Iranian, Sub branch: Indo Aryan, Macro Language: Punjabi, Language: Western Punjabi, Dialects: Potwari Hindko Saraiki and many others, Sub dialects: North Hindko South Hindko.
:* All such linguistic sources are mentioned / added by many wikipedians.
:* If we accept Uanfala version of "cherry pick" and "Defining" then we will end up with a dilemma mentioned by User Flipro on this move request for 30 odd Punjabi dialects [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Talk%3APothohari_dialect&type=revision&diff=747171040&oldid=746605605].

Time to report User Uanfala for topic ban for Cherry picking, Forum shoping, Edit warring, ignoring talk page consensus on western punjabi diffrent dialect talk pages. Please you being a registered senior editor start the proceeding for Topic Ban and violation of 3Rs.

If you have a complaint, consider posting at [[WP:ANI]] along with a direct talk page post on Uanfala's talk page.
::Commenting on specific diffs that would hurt your case: [[Special:Diff/747377274|this]] appears to be POV pushing. Edits such as [[Special:Diff/747031351|this]] are uncited and unsupported. [[Special:Diff/747205239|This]] is also unsupported with a [[WP:RS|reliable source]]. [[Special:Diff/747031811|This]] contains another unsupported claim in the edit summary. Whereas edits such as [[Special:Diff/747089053|this]] and [[Special:Diff/747316059|this]] are supported with references to what appears to be reasonable scholarly works.

::Regarding the recent edit history of [[Western Punjabi]], [[Ghebi dialect]], and [[Chhachi dialect]], both you, Uanfala, and many others have undoubtedly edit warred, and possibly violated [[WP:3RR]]. Uanfala's own disregard for 3RR received a ping/warn already, but it appears that a number of editors may be as guilty. Regarding [//en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions/39.60.232.41&offset=20161102014800&limit=16 your recent pings], you do appear to be [[WP:FORUMSHOPPING]], which could hurt your case. I believe editors like {{noping|Yoyi ling}} and {{noping|SheriffIsInTown}} have had recent editing conflicts with {{noping|Uanfala}}, so they would be able to help your case more than I can. If they want wide admin attention, [[WP:ANI]] is your forum. At the moment though, I haven't been able to discern without a doubt whether Uanfala's edits {{tq|impose a point of view}}, but they seems to be based in [[WP:RS|reliable sources]] and [[WP:COMMONNAME|common names]], and am willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, if there's any.

== Confusing closure comment ==

Your summary at [[Talk:Pennsylvania Station (New York City)#Requested move 31 October 2016]]. It ''sounds like'' you could be saying that there is a consensus to move and that it is unlikely there would be strong opposes for that. Maybe instead "Not moved: there are strong opposes, making it unlikely there is a consensus to move."? [[User:DMacks|DMacks]] ([[User talk:DMacks|talk]]) 18:18, 5 November 2016 (UTC)

== Map problems ==

Hi. There is currently map problems in many articles, for example see [[2014–15 UEFA Europa League]] and [[2014–15 UEFA Champions League]]. Does this have something to do with your recent edits at [[:Module:Location map]] or perhaps you can help me figure out the problem? <i style="font-family:Sans-serif">[[User:Qed237|<b style="color:blue">Qed</b><b style="color:red">237</b>]]&#160;[[User talk:Qed237|<b style="color:green">(talk)</b>]]</i> 14:14, 11 November 2016 (UTC)

== Your message on my talk page ==

Hi Andy. That copy-paste move was just a mistake by me. My reason for moving that page was legit, but I thought copy-paste would work like typical moves. After I saw my mistake I request an admin to fix it and he fixed it.[https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Doug_Weller&diff=749299141&oldid=749243533] I'm an experienced. I'm on English Wikipedia since 2012 and I have several user rights. Especially I'm familiar with moving process. It was just a careless edit by me. Because I thought redirected name (original name of article before recent moves) has complete revision history too. When I realized I was wrong, I tried to fix it. --[[User:Wario-Man|Wario-Man]] ([[User talk:Wario-Man|talk]]) 20:05, 13 November 2016 (UTC)
:And I don't why I tried copy-paste method. Complete carelessness. It was a big mistake. Sorry. --[[User:Wario-Man|Wario-Man]] ([[User talk:Wario-Man|talk]]) 20:15, 13 November 2016 (UTC)
::{{u|Wario-Man}}, okay thanks, it's all good. I didn't see [[special:diff/749299141#Unsourced moves and my mistakes|this]] initially. If you ever have issues with moves, [[WP:RMT]] may be the best venue to resolve some of these things, cheers — [[User:Andy M. Wang|'''''Andy W.''''']] ([[User talk:Andy M.

==[[John Rutherford (sheriff)]]==
Here's another that probably needs to move before Jan 3 as he was elected to Congress. Not sure if we should wait a month or so or do it now....I'll leave it up to you to start the discussion and do the timing if that's OK......[[User:Pvmoutside|Pvmoutside]] ([[User talk:Pvmoutside|talk]]) 22:59, 13 November 2016 (UTC)
:Hi {{u|Pvmoutside}} I don't any have context... did I move some related page earlier? Anyway, if the parenthesized dab becomes outdated in January, unless someone gets around to moving it, you start an [[WP:RM|RM]] around late Dec (?) and the page'll probably get moved in a week. — [[User:Andy M.

== Malplaced moves ==

Hi! I just now saw [[Special:Permalink/749324017|your edit]] changing the instructions for handling malplaced dab-page redirects. That's not a problem for me—I'll start showing up at [[WP:RMT]]. But I'm curious: why would RMT be better than {{tl|db-movedab}}? — [[User:Gorthian|Gorthian]] ([[User talk:Gorthian#top|talk]]) 01:04, 14 November 2016 (UTC)
:Hi {{u|Gorthian}}, that was [[WP:BOLD|bold]] on my part, mostly because a good chunk of movedab requests that populate admin CSD could be handled with swaps now. I [[Wikipedia talk:Moving a page#Revisions on 16 September 2016|suggested something similar before]], and someone working with dabs also [[Special:Permalink/747754093#Repairing WP:MALPLACED dab pages|brought it up at WT:PMVR]]. Unless revisions at dab redirs are completely uncalled for (never explicitly saw this in these requests), these are not admin-specific anymore. Another reason is that I believe requests listed at [[WP:RMT]] are reliably handled within 24 hours, whereas entries in the CSD category have taken 5 days sometimes. [[WP:RMT]] is a "central" venue that also allows quick follow-up questions, and any request that's potentially questionable lends itself naturally to a full RM (with a convenient link offered by {{tlxs|RMassist}}). Hope that sounds reasonable.
:If anyone at [[WT:DAB]] disputes this, feel free to undo the changes. — [[User:Andy M. Wang|'''''Andy W.''''']] ([[User talk:Andy M. Wang|<span style="color:#164">talk</span>]]) 01:18, 14 November 2016 (UTC)
::Very, very few people seem to know about [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Disambiguation/Malplaced disambiguation pages|malplaced dab pages]], even at [[WT:DAB]], so I doubt there will be any reverting going on. I've seen enough page histories now to know roughly how a "round-robin" swap works. But how is a swap different from what used to happen? Did a page have to get deleted completely first? (Obviously, I'm not an admin!)— [[User:Gorthian|Gorthian]] ([[User talk:Gorthian#top|talk]]) 01:49, 14 November 2016 (UTC)
:::Hi {{u|Gorthian}}, I suppose I meant [[WT:WPDAB]] :) I [[Special:Diff/749391659|made some more revisions here]]. Non-admin [[WP:Page mover|page movers]] (as of June 2016) can [[WP:R#SUPPRESS|move a page and have the option ''not'' to leave behind a redirect from the former title to the new title]], an option which is not available to most users. The option allows these users (of which I'm part) to swap pages. A swap depends on this option to "vacate" a title to open up the option for the next move, so to speak ([[WP:PMVR#rr|full process here]]). To solve a technical WP:MALPLACED dab, a page mover can move (completely vacate) the base page to another location to allow the misplaced dab page to be moved without being blocked. I updated (and simplified) the instructions because these actions are no longer admin-specific as of May 2016, so these requests don't "pollute" the category with requests that could be enacted by some non-admins. Hope this helps! :) — [[User:Andy M. Wang|'''''Andy W.''''']] ([[User talk:Andy M. Wang|<span style="color:#164">talk</span>]]) 02:36, 14 November 2016 (UTC)

== Not named after Professor Sign ==

Concerning [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Sign_sequence&diff=next&oldid=749005799 this edit], there is no apparent reason why the initial "s" in "sign" should be capitalized.

== Guinea-Bissau Creole deletion request ==

Hi Andy M. Wang. 
Kwami is helping me sort out the confusion with Guinea-Bissau Creole vs Upper Guinea Creole and made the deletion request on my behalf. The text on the page "Upper Guinea Creole" is about "Guinea-Bissau Creole". I am familiar with the topic and Kwami is an expert on the subject, so he would not have assited without first making sure that it made sense. I would be grateful for your assistance. [[User:Rui Gabriel Correia|Rui &#39;&#39;Gabriel&#39;&#39; Correia]] ([[User talk:Rui Gabriel Correia|talk]]) 02:10, 15 November 2016 (UTC)
:{{u|Rui Gabriel Correia}} and {{u|Kwamikagami}}, sure, I'd be willing to help. What about the [[Talk:Upper Guinea Creole|RM that happened on the talk?]] Have circumstances recently changed? Just want a clarification here before anything happens, thanks — [[User:Andy M. Wang|'''''Andy W.''''']] ([[User talk:Andy M. Wang#top|<span style="color:#164">talk</span>]]) 02:14, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

::The only RM I see is to fix a typo. What am I missing? I don't know anything about the topic, but Glottolog and Ethn. both give it the name 'Upper Guinea Crioulo', which is presumably why it's where it is. Looks like there's a second use of the name (Glotto. 'Upper Guinea Portuguese', which is less accurate than calling it Creole) that includes Upper Guinea Creole proper, Cabo Verde Creole and Papiamento. Moving to Guinea-Bissau Creole would avoid the ambiguity, but I don't see that it's supported by refs. — [[User:Kwamikagami|kwami]] ([[User talk:Kwamikagami|talk]])

:::::Hi Andy M. Wang. I can't even figure out what that request is, not sure if it a move request because of the incorrect spelling or what. Then, the arguments made by Pedro do not hold any water. His argument here that calling the creole after the name of the country is wrong because the creole is much older then the country is absurd. It is name given by linguists, '''''not''''' what ist speakers call it — they refer to their language by various names, variations of Kriol, Kiriol, Kriolu, Purtuguis etc., as is amply set out in the various articles within the group The simple fact of the matter is that "Upper Guinea" refers to both Guinea-Bissau and Cape Verde, as it says [http://www.sorosoro.org/en/2015/09/from-west-africa-to-the-antilles-dynamic-portuguese-creoles/ here]:
*"''From one side of the Atlantic to the other, lay a group of Portuguese-based Creoles that are present in three countries of West Africa (Cape Verde, Guinea-Bissau, and Senegal) and in the Netherlands Antilles.

== Requested move ==

Hi. Can you relist this [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Evacuations_of_civilians_in_Britain_during_World_War_II#Requested_move_23_June_2016 requested move,] as I don't think it achieved enough discussion. The point you made about Wales being a destination might suggest that we rename the article to [[Evacuations of civilians in England during World War II]]. However, assuming only evacuations happened in England (which is not the case), I think it's irrelevant: evacuations occurred in Germany also, but seem to have been confined mostly to western and northern parts. Yet the article has the name of the country in it, not the names of regions, areas or islands of the country. The wiki article for that is specific to children, of course. Also, Japan has an article which uses the country name. In Japan, the evacuations seem to be centered around the southern prefectures. Particularly the large islands of Shikoku, Kyushu and Honshu. Yet the article uses the country name. Presumably the evacuations which took place in the Soviet Union were confined to the west of that country. Yet the article uses the name of the country, and not any geographical region or administrative subsets.

As for evacuations in other parts of the UK: [https://books.google.com/books?id=J2VfFIxcUZgC&pg=PA48&lpg=PA48&dq=%22every+means+of+exit+from+the+city+was+availed+of+and+the+final+destination+appeared+to+be+a+matter+of+indifference%22&source=bl&ots=D5_IzjL0PQ&sig=WLvTn3t04wIHVUYWE0Q3x4qmCHk&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjmnKXN06vQAhWBNSYKHWbpDMQQ6AEIIjAB#v=onepage&q=%22every%20means%20of%20exit%20from%20the%20city%20was%20availed%20of%20and%20the%20final%20destination%20appeared%20to%20be%20a%20matter%20of%20indifference%22&f=false one source for Northern Ireland here], [https://www.peoplescollection.wales/collections/384105 proof of evacuations in Wales] and [http://www.educationscotland.gov.uk/scotlandshistory/20thand21stcenturies/worldwarii/evacuation/index.asp evacuations in Scotland].

==Pageswap==
Andy....I applied for adminship (alas, my request was rejected) because I've been trying to move pages to update animal species taxonomy on a regular basis and didn't want to bother other admins for such mundane tasks.  Most pages move without issue, but some if links were created in redirects, they lock and I can't move them.  During the RfA, some admins suggested your pageswap tool, which I tried installing after getting approval as a pagemover.  The button appears below the move button, but when I plug in the page on where it should be moved to, nothing happens.......I'd like to get this working to stop bothering other admins......please help!  The page I am trying to move is [[Cape pygmy owl]] to [[Baja pygmy owl]]....[[User:Pvmoutside|Pvmoutside]] ([[User talk:Pvmoutside|talk]]) 14:31, 11 May 2017 (UTC)
:Hi {{u|Pvmoutside}}, thanks for letting me know. I believe [[User:Pvmoutside/common.js|you've installed the script fine]].
:To swap [[Cape pygmy owl]] and [[Baja pygmy owl]], you should be able to go to the [[Cape pygmy owl]] page directly, click '''"Swap"''' (which should be ''next to the "Move" option''), enter "Baja pygmy owl" in the prompt, click OK several times (when it asks about moving talk pages, click OK), and it should just work. (Make sure you then update the moved redirect's target) If the "Swap" button is still not doing anything, I think it may be due to your browser's JavaScript settings...? Do you see any prompts that are popping up when you click "Swap"?
:Another thing you can do, if you don't feel comfortable with swaps, you can post at [[WP:RMT]] any time, and someone would be able to help you relatively quickly (at least in my experience) Hope this helps — [[User:Andy M.

::Hi {{u|Pvmoutside}}, just did some tests... When the first prompt says ''Swap "Cape pygmy owl" with:'', and you type in <kbd>Baja pygmy owl</kbd> and click okay, the next prompt takes a few seconds... maybe it depends on your Internet connection, the servers' load I think? I suggest wait 20 seconds. If you still see nothing after that long (really shouldn't take that long), it may be some JavaScript settings in your browser. (It's also a bit of a design issue in my script I suppose) Let me know if you have updates, I'm curious. Thanks — [[User:Andy M. Wang|'''''Andy W.''''']] ([[User talk:Andy M.

== Implementing [[MOS:JR]] change ==

Hello. There was a change last year to [[MOS:JR]], eliminating the comma before Jr. and Sr. This affects many article titles. I have been working on and off for months to implement these moves, about half of them requiring a request at [[WP:RMT]]. It has been suggested that I request the [[WP:Page mover]] right and use your pageswap.js script, eliminating the need to involve admins. Can you describe how to do these moves using your script, for the non-technical user? Thank you. &#8213;[[User:Mandruss|<span style="color:#775C57;">'''''Mandruss'''''</span>]]&nbsp;[[User talk:Mandruss|<span style="color:#999;">&#9742;</span>]] 12:42, 18 May 2017 (UTC)
:Hi {{u|Mandruss}}, thanks for letting me know! I think I was able to help you on some of these JR SR moves a while back with [[WP:SWAP|swaps]]. I outlined a general case [[User:Andy M. Wang/pageswap#Usage|here]], but in other words: click "Swap" (appears next to "Move") and simply follow the prompts:
:*Enter the new page title.
:*In general, click OK when it asks about moving talk pages (and subpages like archives and good article nominations), though I have some tips below
:*At the "Move reason" prompt, enter your intended summary, and you're good to go. (There's a final confirmation before it attempts any action, so don't worry about title typos.)
:*The script doesn't update redirects by design, so after the swap, update any involved to point to the new page title.
:FYI about my own swap approach (a bit detailed here): if one page has a talk (or subpage) and the other page doesn't, a swap will "redlink" these pages, which is likely undesirable, especially if they have incoming links. I occasionally move the talk page (or subpage) separately, i.e. swap the mainspace pages, and later do a redirect-preserving move on the talk page (or subpages).
:I hope this helps. Please let me know if I should clarify anything! Cheers, — [[User:Andy M. Wang|'''''Andy W.''''']] ([[User talk:Andy M. Wang#top|<span style="color:#164">talk</span>]]) 20:11, 18 May 2017 (UTC)

==Untitled (Peasant Girl, spinning)==
Hi there, 

I'm not familiar with how to communicate on this platform, however you have incorrectly changed the page I wrote for Elihu Vedder's painting "Peasant Girl, spinning". You changed the page name and the name of the work to "Peasant Girl Spinning. The title assigned by the artist and which has always been attributed to this work is "Peasant Girl, spinning". With the comma, and the uncapitalized 's' in "spinning". 

Elihu Vedder was meticulous about the naming conventions of his own works. It is correctly listed in the inventory of works he sold in 1867 in ''The Digression of V'' (Boston and New York: Houghton Mifflin, 1910). I could go into greater detail why naming conventions are important to Vedder's works of the late 1860s (multiple, precisely and individually titled versions of similar works exist), but that's really not relevant. What you did was introduce erroneous information based on a formatting convention that does not apply to this artist's works.  

Please could you stop changing my article. I would like to know what your credibility or authority as an art historian is - but you have changed the article I spent a long time writing. I am sorry this is the only way I know how to reach out - I am trying to learn wikipedia and would like to be able to contribute more content from my research, but just imagine how demoralizing it is when someone changes your article to the wrong information. I have several more articles about individual paintings by Vedder but how can I add them if someone with no authority on the information will simply change them???

Best,

George

== Swap bug? ==

Hi,

I don't know if this is just me being incompetent but the swap tool you made is very useful, however it seems to suppress talk page redirects without prompting me, any ideas?

Thanks, <span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS; font-weight: bold">[[User:DrStrauss|<span style="color: red">Dr</span><span style="color: green">Strauss</span>]] [[User talk:DrStrauss|<span style="color: maroon">talk</span>]]</span> 10:06, 28 June 2017 (UTC)
:Hi {{u|DrStrauss}}, thanks for letting me know! I wouldn't say this is a bug, more like a feature. I think [//en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&page=Talk%3ANeutral+unit+of+construction+%28airlines%29 this is one of your examples]? I mitigated this [//en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Talk:Neutral_unit_of_construction_(airlines)&action=history by recreating Talk:Neutral unit of construction (airlines)] to fix this issue. After swapping ''A'' and ''B'' (and a single talk), I '''need to re-create''' redirect ''Talk:A'' separately, although you could also swap only ''A'' and ''B'' and afterwards perform a regular move of ''Talk:A'' to ''Talk:B'' (preserving a redirect).
:<small>In a bit more detail, the reason I decided against fixing redlinks is a scenario such as: Swap ''A'', ''Talk:A'', ''Talk:A/subpageX'', ''B'', ''Talk:B/subpageY''. After the swap, the pages are ''A'', ''Talk:A/subpageY'', ''B'', ''Talk:B'', ''Talk:B/subpageX'', with previously existing pages ''Talk:A'', ''Talk:A/subpageX'', and ''Talk:B/subpageY'' redlinked. Or should these newly redlinked pages turn into redirects? I personally don't think so, and it seems largely dependent on context, hence my tool has avoided these issues for now.</small>
:In short, I'd recommend: Perform the swap. If the other page (and talk, (and subpages if any)) is a redirect, fix its target. Check your own contribs for redlinked talk pages and create them as redirects as necessary. (especially if there are incoming links ([[Special:WhatLinksHere]])) Hope that makes sense! — [[User:Andy M. Wang|'''''Andy W.''''']] ([[User talk:Andy M.

== Question about pageswap ==

Hello! I've been using your pageswap tool for a few months now and have noticed a common thing when swapping pages. My question is why does the redirect not link to the new page name (see [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Jim_Mattis&diff=prev&oldid=804758330 here] for an example)? I have to manually go in and change the redirect when IMO it would make more sense for the redirect be the new page title automatically... Hoping you can help on this. Thanks, ''Corky''&nbsp;<sup>'''''<u><small>[[:User talk:Corkythehornetfan|<span style="color:#BB8D0A;">Buzz by the Hornet's Nest</span>]]</small></u>'''''</sup> 04:03, 11 October 2017 (UTC)
:Hi {{u|Corkythehornetfan}}, this was a design decision on my part for [[User talk:Andy M. Wang/Archive 3#Issue with double redirect.|several reasons]], including the fact that the 3-move swap operation already has plenty of latency (in my humble opinion), that the "swap" operation could be one on either of the pages to be swapped (including on the redirect), and there's generally some ambiguity on how to deal with the talk pages, subpages (if they exist), and talk subpages (if they exist) of either page to be swapped. I think I found some cases where the redirect(s) point to some ''completely unrelated or new page'', and these cases have to handled on a case-by-case basis. Some of the talk or subpages may be redirects, and some may not be. After a swap, there is potential to redlink a number of talk/subpages when the other page does not have talk/subpages of the same names/positions, if that makes sense. I figured that handling these cases was [[User:Andy M. Wang/pageswap#Out of scope|out of scope]], and that the script (for now) should do nothing except make sure the two selected pages (and its talk/subpages) are swapped, nothing else.
:So, for now, yes, I'd manually correct examples such as [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Jim_Mattis&diff=prev&oldid=804758330 your example here]. Hope that makes sense...? — [[User:Andy M. Wang|'''''Andy W.''''']] ([[User talk:Andy M. Wang#top|<span style="color:#164">talk</span>]]) 16:08, 14 October 2017 (UTC)

== Question About Adding Parameter to Infobox US university ranking ==

Hi there. You seem to be an expert on this. Several users now have brought up adding the annual US College ranking from Times Higher Education to the Infobox US university ranking template. I'm having trouble figuring it out. Could take a look at the [[Template:Infobox US university ranking|page]] and tell me what I'm doing wrong/help me out? Thanks! [[User:Pdyusmep|Pdyusmep]] ([[User talk:Pdyusmep|talk]]) 03:36, 23 November 2017 (UTC)
:Hi {{u|Pdyusmep}}. A couple users already replied at [[Template talk:Infobox US university ranking]]. Apparently an IP [[Special:Diff/751338005|added this param to the doc]] without placing a request to update the main template itself. I can add your requested param to sandboxes and submit an edit req if I have time (I don't have edit access since I gave up the right by choice). However, it's unclear from discussions that we've determined that the ranking is notable yet. {{u|Corkythehornetfan}}, who is a template editor, says, quote, {{tq|If it is notable enough (provide proof), then we can add it}}. I suggest you [[Template talk:Infobox US university ranking|continue the discussion there]] and get a [[WP:CONSENSUS]] of sorts first. Hope that helps — [[User:Andy M.

== Pageswap ==

Hi. Just wondering if it's possible to request a feature for your pageswap script? Would it be possible to update <code>var moveReason = prompt("Move reason:");</code> to something like <code>var moveReason = prompt("Move reason:", moveReasonDefault);</code>, where an editor could manually set their own moveReasonDefault in their personal common.js?

Just that I personally use the pageswap script solely for [[WP:RMTR]], and it would allow me to automatically fill in the prompt with "[<nowiki />[WP:RMTR]]" each time. This wouldn't change anything for other editors that don't want a default value, but may help other editors looking for the same thing.

If not, no problems! If so, that'd be great! Let me know. Thanks. -- '''[[User:AlexTheWhovian|<span style="color:#1632E0;text-shadow:1px 1px 8px #324A6E;">Alex</span>]]'''''[[User talk:AlexTheWhovian#top|<sup><span style="color:#1632E0">TW</span></sup>]]'' 07:39, 15 December 2017 (UTC)

== Suggestion: Retarget after page swap ==

Hi Andy, after the end of 3 step page move. a redirect ends up pointing to itself on the original page location, This is not correct. After every pageswap, this has to be manually retargeted to the new page location. Can this step alse be included in the automated script. Should be easy to include. cheers. --''<span style="text-shadow:0px 0px .3em LightSkyBlue;">[[User:DBigXray|D<span style="color:#DA500B">Big</span>]][[User talk:DBigXray|X<span style="color:#10AD00">ray</span>ᗙ]]</span>'' 13:11, 18 September 2018 (UTC)
:{{u|DBigXray}}, good idea! (Hope you are well, Andy.) '''[[User:Sam Sailor|Sam]] [[User talk:Sam Sailor|Sailor]]''' 14:53, 18 September 2018 (UTC)
::Hi {{u|Sam Sailor}} :)
::{{u|DBigXray}}, this might be the third or fourth time I've heard this suggestion... I've highlighted a number of reasons I [[Special:PermaLink/860129660#Swap bug?|decided against the retargeting here]] and [[Special:PermaLink/803560896#Issue with double redirect.|here, for example]]. I also [[Special:PermaLink/838485359#Out of scope|outlined a number of things that I personally think might be out of scope for the tool]]. I guess it's debatable and there's not a right answer, how hands-on and how intervening the tool actually should be. How would the tool handle cases where ''A'' redirects to ''B'', but a subpage of ''Talk:B'' redirected to ''Talk:A''? Reverse that redirect too? There are also cases where three pages' contents need to be swapped (happens more frequently with 2-dab scenarios). What to do about the redirect page?
::I must admit that I've thought more about the [[corner case]]s than solutions to them, but so far, I say that pageswap is just a tool to swap the histories of two pages, and not intervene and correct redirects.
::If you really insist, let me know, and I'll put more thought into making the correction. Thanks for your feedback though. Happy editing, — [[User:Andy M. Wang|'''''Andy W.''''']] ([[User talk:Andy M. Wang#top|<span style="color:#164">talk</span>]]) 00:17, 20 September 2018 (UTC)
:*{{u|DBigXray}} I [[User:Andy M. Wang/massretarget|do have a separate tool]] for correcting double-redirects (including self redirects). I didn't design this for mass usage however, and this isn't really well-advertised. The tool, when installed, is also somewhat intentionally difficult to navigate to (this is a ''mass'' retarget tool) When I've been performing swaps, I do use both these scripts. Maybe this helps save some time? — [[User:Andy M. Wang|'''''Andy W.''''']] ([[User talk:Andy M. Wang#top|<span style="color:#164">talk</span>]]) 00:19, 20 September 2018 (UTC)
:::Andy, Please accept my sincere thanks for taking out time to respond to this 4th time. I am sure, there are lot of corner cases. but the tool is primarily used to move over redirect. e.g. Redirect R points to Article A. and they need to be swapped such that the end results is A is a redirect pointing to article at R. But at the end of this, the contents and page histories are swapped but, Location A ends up with a "redirect to itself" at A. I can understand why it is caused, but this is something that is believe is undesirable. If the complexity allows it and it doesnt have a major side effect, I would request you to kindly agree to adopt this suggestion. specially since this is a popular and widely sought after suggestion (me being the 4th user to ask this). --''<span style="text-shadow:0px 0px .3em LightSkyBlue;">[[User:DBigXray|D<span style="color:#DA500B">Big</span>]][[User talk:DBigXray|X<span style="color:#10AD00">ray</span>ᗙ]]</span>'' 11:39, 20 September 2018 (UTC)
::::{{u|DBigXray}} I can't give guarantees due to real-life commitments, hope you understand. If the tool will support retargeting, I definitely want to make it a thorough check (if ''A'' is a redirect to itself, if ''A'' has redirecting subpages, if ''Talk:A'' is a redirect to itself, and if the talk page has subpages... and prompt to retarget ''everything and anything related to page A'' reasonable... I might need to check the status of ''R'' for sanity, just talking out loud). I'll look into it in the next few days... again, no guarantees — [[User:Andy M.

== Suggestions ==
Having been a long time user of your pageswap tool, I have to admit it's pretty great. I think I have a few things, or rather wrinkles, that could be improved upon, but it's okay imo. What I was thinking is instead of the current OK, Cancel dialog, we have one window to handle everything, just two radio buttons, move talk and move subpages and hit OK. That would make the chances of messing up much harder. @ me if you consider it, thanks a lot for your hard work! --<span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS',Geneva,sans-serif">[[User:QEDK|<span style="color:#b7e">QEDK</span>]] ([[User talk:QEDK|<span style="color:#fac">後</span>]] ☕ [[Special:Contributions/QEDK|<span style="color:#fac">桜</span>]])</span> 17:43, 7 December 2018 (UTC)

Any way to make pageswap work from [[Special:MovePage]]?

== Stranded talk pages ==

Pageswap seems to be leaving behind a lot of talk pages that redirect to themselves. In other words, the article gets moved correctly, but the talk page doesn't.  [[Talk:Forever (group)]] is one current example (assuming no one has fixed it before you see this message).  --[[User:R'n'B|R'n'B]] ([[User talk:R'n'B|call me]] Russ) 17:22, 20 December 2018 (UTC)
:{{re|R'n'B}} That's because {{u|Woodensuperman}} [[User:Andy_M._Wang/pageswap#Usage|did not perform '''steps 3 and 4''']] in the swap routine. ([[Special:Diff/874654217|fixed for now]]) Talk page redirect retargeting, as I've highlighted repeatedly, is [[User:Andy_M._Wang/pageswap#Out_of_scope|still out of scope of the pageswap tool]] (also already had a discussion about this [[User_talk:Andy_M._Wang#Suggestion:_Retarget_after_page_swap|earlier]]). I think if I were to address some feature requests, I would actually want to overhaul the tool (the existing code is not that great looking back at it). Can't guarantee that I have the time these days — [[User:Andy M. Wang|'''''Andy W.''''']] ([[User talk:Andy M. Wang#top|<span style="color:#164">talk</span>]]) 18:12, 20 December 2018 (UTC)

In the 2018 edition of the contest, about 600 Wikipedia articles were created in at least 8 languages. There were also contributions to Wikidata and Wikimedia commons, which brought the total number of wikimedia pages created during the contest to over 1,000.

[[Wikipedia:WikiProject AfroCine|The AfroCine Project]] welcomes you to October, the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject AfroCine/Months of African Cinema|first out of the two months which have been dedicated to creating and improving content]] that centre around the cinema of Africa, the Caribbean, and the diaspora. Join us in this global edit-a-thon, by helping to create or expand articles which are connected to this scope. Also remember to [[Wikipedia:WikiProject AfroCine/Months of African Cinema#Participants|list your name under the participants section]].

On English Wikipedia, we would be recognizing participants in the following manner:

*'''''Overall winner''''' (1st, 2nd, 3rd places)
*'''''Diversity winner'''''
*'''''Gender-gap fillers'''''

For further information about the contest, the recognition categories and how to participate, please visit the contest page [[Wikipedia:WikiProject AfroCine/Months of African Cinema|here]].

== Red 11 (film) ==

Hello,

I need help to pageswap the edit history of my new page ''[[Red 11 (film)]]'' with the redirect page ''[[Red 11]]''. I do not know how to do this change. I would like to move the work and history of ''Red 11 (film)'' to the unnecessary extra disambiguation of ''Red 11''. Can you help me? [[User:Cardei012597|Cardei012597]] ([[User talk:Cardei012597|talk]]) 22:22, 27 January 2020 (UTC)
:Hi {{u|Cardei012597}}, I see some page history at [[Red 11]]. Looks like you need a [[WP:HISTMERGE]], which requires administrator permissions, and I've [[special:diff/938317883|requested this now]]. Cheers. — [[User:Andy M. Wang|'''''Andy W.''''']] ([[User talk:Andy M. Wang#top|<span style="color:#164">talk</span>]]) 13:08, 30 January 2020 (UTC)
:{{u|Cardei012597}} If the admin deems the pages to have had separate histories (which is defensible now that I look at this more closely) and is not mergeable, request the move at [[WP:RMT]] and follow the instructions there. If it gets challenged, it will move to a full requested move discussion. (I'm not active, and don't have the permissions to swap right now) — [[User:Andy M. Wang|'''''Andy W.''''']] ([[User talk:Andy M. Wang#top|<span style="color:#164">talk</span>]]) 13:14, 30 January 2020 (UTC)

I prefer not to do a histmerge. I have requested for speedy deletion on the empty redirect. Under Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion, G6. Technical deletions, deleting redirects or other pages blocking page moves. The original redirect was for an incomplete, poorly sourced, version of Red 11, with different editing histories. I believe this method will be more efficient, so that once the empty redirect Red 11 is deleted, I can swiftly move Red 11 (film) in its place.

==[[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|Speedy deletion]] nomination of [[:File:Punar Jenmam.jpg]]==
[[Image:Information icon4.svg|48px|left|alt=|link=]]

A tag has been placed on [[:File:Punar Jenmam.jpg]] requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under [[WP:CSD#F1|section F1 of the criteria for speedy deletion]], because the image is an unused duplicate or lower-quality copy of another file on Wikipedia having the same file format, and all inward links have been updated. 

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may '''contest the nomination''' by [[:File:Punar Jenmam.jpg|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:List of policies|Wikipedia's policies and guidelines]]. <!-- Template:Db-redundantimage-notice --> <!-- Template:Db-csd-notice-custom --> <span style="white-space:nowrap;font-family: Papyrus">[[User:Kailash29792|<b style="color: black;">Kailash29792</b>]] [[User talk:Kailash29792|<span style="color: black;">(talk)</span>]] </span> 07:33, 15 September 2021 (UTC)
