French railway articles

Feel free to move all other Chemin(s) de Fer.. articles except for the CF du ARB to Chemin(s) de fer titles. The ARB article can be moved once the RM discussion has been closed. Mjroots (talk) 20:42, 13 February 2021 (UTC)

@Mjroots: I tried with Chemin de Fer de la Baie de Somme, but the target page, Chemin de fer de la Baie de Somme, already exists... I'll do the moves that I can, mind using admin tools on the others so I don't have to file multiple technical move requests? Cheers, RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 21:24, 13 February 2021 (UTC)

List those you can't move here and I'll sort them in the morning. Mjroots (talk) 21:41, 13 February 2021 (UTC)

I've made a temporary request at WP:PERM; if that doesn't work then the pages that remain with the wrong capitalisation in the category (Category:Metre gauge railways in France) should be the ones. I reckon the whole of the category tree starting at Category:Rail_infrastructure_in_France will have to be searched for these, but there's always a start.

@Mjroots: In the metre gauge category: (ARB, to be done once the RM is over); everything listed under C that has not been moved; and Chemins de Fer de Provence. Additionally, there's one page which I didn't move; Tramways Électrique du Finistère; because the French page is under a different purely geographic name, so I'm not sure whether I should just translate that (depending on the outcome of the RM, or maybe there should be an RfC at the wikiproject about that...). I'll prune through the rest of the category tree eventually. RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 23:04, 13 February 2021 (UTC)

Think I've got all the metre gauge ones. An RFC at WikiProject level would be the better idea. Mjroots (talk) 09:17, 14 February 2021 (UTC)

@Mjroots: I think I've taken a look around and fixed what I could find (through the prefixes and through the relevant categories of rail and tram transport in France, Belgium, ... - maybe I should also take a look through the African railways [former French colonies]). Oddly enough only Chemin de fer du Nord needed redirect suppression. There's also this oddity which I was going to move, but then I couldn't find any evidence about it, so it's at AfD. RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 02:58, 18 February 2021 (UTC)

And as an extension to the above, there's also the inconsistency of some purely geographic titles ending with "Railway" and others with "railway" (there's one somewhere I moved out of consistency with the category it was in); this probably also warrants some discussion somewhere. RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 04:12, 18 February 2021 (UTC)

Oh well, seems I'll be busy with Africa for a bit; not only are there plenty of moves required but also some of these articles probably require a lot of updates... RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 04:31, 18 February 2021 (UTC)

Page mover granted

Hello, RandomCanadian. Your account has been granted the "extendedmover" user right, either following a request for it or demonstrating familiarity with working with article names and moving pages. You are now able to rename pages without leaving behind a redirect, move subpages when moving the parent page(s), and move category pages.

Please take a moment to review Wikipedia:Page mover for more information on this user right, especially the criteria for moving pages without leaving redirect. Please remember to follow post-move cleanup procedures and make link corrections where necessary, including broken double-redirects when suppressredirect is used. This can be done using Special:WhatLinksHere. It is also very important that no one else be allowed to access your account, so you should consider taking a few moments to secure your password. As with all user rights, be aware that if abused, or used in controversial ways without consensus, your page mover status can be revoked.

Useful links:

• Wikipedia:Requested moves
• Category:Requested moves, for article renaming requests awaiting action.

If you do not want the page mover right anymore, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Thank you, and happy editing! Primefac (talk) 15:46, 15 February 2021 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

	The Original Barnstar
	Welcome back! Nice ArbCom appeal. BlueCrabRedCrab 19:37, 23 February 2021 (UTC)

@BlueCrabRedCrab: Apparently this year's incarnation of ArbCom are faster than last year's (in case you really wonder, t'was an unfortunate, and I guess obvious - particularly given the long edit history of my IP before I created an account [though I can't read the mind of the person who blocked me so have no clue how this happened], case of mistaken identity). Cheeers, RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 20:55, 23 February 2021 (UTC)

Eligibility Legislation - Sourcing discussion

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

---

If you think a source supports your inclusions into the United States presidential eligibility legislation article regarding eligibility you must first engage the discussion, If you have a valid secondary source it will be included by consensus. The content added failed verification for "eligibility" of the "President." --Frobozz1 (talk) 01:15, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

@Frobozz1: See WP:BRD - you attempted to remove the whole section, you were reverted; now you should attempt to continue the discussion on the talk page. A discussion between 3 or 4 editors where one of them expresses an opposition and where there was no further back and forth seems hardly a consensus. Your objections seem misguided, as the section is about requirements for being eligible to the office. In any case see also my comments there. All sources mention that somebody who is impeached/disqualified/whatever cannot be elected to the office again. Whether it uses the exact word "eligibility" or some different variants that end up meaning the same thing is not crucial to the topic. I fail to see how removing the whole section (including the basic constitutional requirements) is of any help. RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 01:22, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

Help needed

Plz cab you help me on Annexation of Hyderabad page a Indian nationalist named Kautilya keeps removing a very reliable source which exposed how Indian troops were engaging in killings of civilians in Hyderabad the source states " "We had absolutely unimpeachable evidence to the effect that there were instances in which men belonging to the Indian Army and also to the local police took part in looting and even other crimes" PremijAnans (talk) 23:03, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
