The logo of the Mediation Committee while it was active

The Mediation Committee was a panel of editors who resolved content disputes on Wikipedia articles by providing formal mediation. The Mediation Committee was established with the Arbitration Committee in 2003 by Jimmy Wales and was the last stage of content dispute resolution on the English Wikipedia. Mediation was entered into voluntarily by the parties to the dispute and did not result in binding resolutions. The Mediation Committee policy documented how the Mediation Committee, its mediators, and the formal mediation process operated. This policy was maintained by the Committee and was considered an authoritative codification of how Committee matters should be conducted.

After a substantial period of inactivity, the Mediation Committee was shut down by community consensus on 12 November 2018.

Bureau van Dijk

Ideally the article would be named Bureau van Dijk with redirects from BvD and Bureau van Dijk Electronic Publishing, as other companies with the Bureau van Dijk name have been incorporated into one company. Thanks.--الدبوني (talk) 09:14, 7 July 2015 (UTC)

Article marked for deletion / Michael W. Tall

inome/Intelius

  • The article move might be problematic. The editor requesting it almost certainly has a conflict of interest, and the article regularly has coi problems. I'm hoping the editor will declare the coi and help us figure out what's going on. See User talk:Ksylvester. --Ronz (talk) 20:07, 9 July 2015 (UTC)

I'm trying to get help, but it should not have been moved as what is now called inome is the notable company, while Intelius is a new spin-off. As Intelius is continuing to operate with a business model and products that were themselves notable within inome, I think we can justify a second article. --Ronz (talk) 19:32, 10 July 2015 (UTC)

reverting undiscussed moves

Hi Anthony - I had put some requests to revert undiscussed moves in the "Revert undiscussed moves" section. Would you please revert the moves to God and Satan (song) and Imprudence (Maupassant short story)? If the editor who boldly moved them wishes to start an RM, they can do so. But for now, they should be reverted to their previous state. Thanks. Dohn joe (talk) 23:04, 12 July 2015 (UTC)

Dohn joe, I think Talk:Bookends (album) and so on showed that most en.wp editors do not share your understanding of "topic" as equalling "article title", since you have a minority view and since you are quite capable of arguing this view, the RMs give you an opportunity to do so. In ictu oculi (talk) 05:14, 13 July 2015 (UTC)
Procedurally though, they should be reverted before beginning the RM. Otherwise it encourages gaming of the system. Jenks24 (talk) 10:05, 13 July 2015 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Interceptor aircraft, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Interceptor (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Gold Bug BLAR

Hi Anthony. This entire business with the Gold Bug redirects is extremely controversial. I have registered strenuous objections to the original BLAR on my talk page and reverted it twice. I also requested that he self revert and consider seeking consensus or alternatively proposing a MERGE or sending the article to AfD per WP:BLAR and WP:ATD-R. This looks like an attempt to make an end run around my objections. I also have registered a request with DGG on his talk page to revert back to the original article on my behalf out of deference to 3RR. This editor appears to be very determined to bury that article and is showing a shocking disregard for the many editors who worked on the original article as well as zero interest in seeking consensus. I would appreciate it if you reverted all of this, per the cited guidelines above and my strong objections to the BLAR. If he wants to kill the article he should send it to AfD. Thanks -Ad Orientem (talk) 04:28, 26 July 2015 (UTC)

I will get there tomorrow. DGG ( talk ) 05:10, 26 July 2015 (UTC)
DGG and Anthony Appleyard‎ thank you both for your help and input. GliderMaven is still arguing to delete the article, but at least he's not trying to do it unilaterally. I would not be surprised if he sends it to AfD. But the subject is so clearly notable and the article well sourced that I think it will survive. This article has been the object of a lot of attempted POV editing from people in the gold bug community. Anyway the debate on the talk page continues. -Ad Orientem (talk) 22:06, 26 July 2015 (UTC)

Again with the history merge...

I've got a mess for you this morning...

American Promise (documentary film) is a copy/paste move from American Promise. After the history of those two are merged, the merged article should be at American Promise (film) (there's a redirect with little history there - and there is an American Promise (yacht) article, so it needs the (film) disambiguator). Once that mess is cleaned up, the disambiguation page at American Promise (disambiguation) can go back to American Promise.

Once the pages are all in their proper places, I'll clean up the 9 incoming links to the disambiguation page. -Niceguyedc Go Huskies! 12:17, 1 August 2015 (UTC)

Atul Kulkarni

Hi! I had placed the request under "Requests to revert undiscussed moves". I assumed that by placing it there, I was requesting to revert the move that has happened without discussion; i.e. AK to AK(ab1965). User:BlueMario1016 had moved the actor's page from "Name Surname" to "Name Surname (profession born YYYY)" format. This move was not discussed anywhere and by posting the request I wanted this to be reverted. Per MOS:DABRL we don't really create disambig pages for red links. Can you revert the undiscussed move or should I start a formal discussion to get it right as it was? Was I in the wrong forum? §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 12:47, 3 August 2015 (UTC)

There is another actor with the exact same name born in 1989 and the reason why it was moved, so it would not cause any confusions between the two actors. BlueMario1016 {Talk 09:56, 3 August 2015 (UTC)

@BlueMario1016: Read MOS:DABRL and WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. And thanks for replying. You should have done this on your own page where i have already raised this problem. And thanks Anthony. I hadn't noticed that discussion. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 16:53, 3 August 2015 (UTC)

Aqua Lung America

Hi, I ignore why you decided to revert without comments my attempts to clean up pages related to Aqua Lung (though revert-happy snipers seem increasingly common on Wikipedia nowadays), but anyway, you have eventually decided to resurrect an entry that was turned into a redirect by someone else a long time ago, and finally decided to reach the talk page, you will find my reply there: Talk:Aqua Lung America 82.231.41.7 (talk) 22:57, 3 August 2015 (UTC)

Forks Over Knives

Hi Anthony, you moved Forks Over Knives to Forks over Knives in 2012 as uncontroversial. [1] The film title is Forks Over Knives, and Wikipedia seems to be the only publication using the lower case; for example, film website and NYT review.

Would you mind moving it back? I tried to do it but would have had to use the tools. Many thanks, Sarah (talk) 16:47, 5 August 2015 (UTC)

Anthony, I'd appreciate it if you wouldn't do that again. If I'd wanted to start an RM, I'd have done so. Sarah (talk) 22:19, 5 August 2015 (UTC)
The issue is that you converted a discussion that wasn't intended to be an RM, and which contained a post about something else.
But that apart, this isn't controversial. You moved it without discussion in 2012 from the title of the film to one that uses lower-case instead. If you look at this Google search, you'll see that WP appears to be the only publication that writes Forks over Knives. It is normally written Forks Over Knives, so it needs to be moved back.

Reykjavík Museum of Photography

On 14 March 2014, both you and Moonriddengirl deleted Reykjavík Museum of Photography. I don't fully understand what happened, but at least one of the deletions was on the grounds that it was a copyvio. I had been a very minor, and critical, participant in the creation of the article. I was sorry to see it go.

I've tentatively resuscitated the article, as Draft:Reykjavík Museum of Photography. I have (I hope and believe) stripped it of copyright material, and made miscellaneous minor improvements. Unfortunately I can't read Icelandic; Snaevar, who can, improved the references.

There could be a problem of [Wikipedia style] notability, which I have trouble demonstrating. Notability (as the word is normally understood) exudes from both the Youtube video (among the external links) and from personal correspondence from a disinterested friend who recently went there: neither is of any consequence for Wikipedia, of course. Still, what do you think of the draft?

(I'm about to invite Moonriddengirl here; hope you don't mind.) -- Hoary (talk) 23:43, 6 August 2015 (UTC)

Hello, Hoary. Anthony's deletion was temporary. He did a history merge to put together a page that was a cut & paste move. The article was deleted because it was listed at the copyright problems board for over a week, copyright problems were pervasive, there was no clean version in history, and no rewrite was proposed. There is nothing to prevent your creating a new article on the subject - in fact, if anybody had proposed a clean rewrite during the listing period, the article wouldn't have been deleted at all. Sadly, people seldom do.
That said, while your new draft incorporated some close paraphrase which has now been removed (and this is why we don't recommend resolving copyright problems by copying the base text - you can create a derivative work), it was itself a copyright problem because it did not attribute contributors. :) Content on Wikipedia is not public domain; if you incorporate any material from one page into another, you have to attribute. (Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia explains how and why.) This is true of any space on Wikipedia, including sandboxes and draft spaces. I believe that all substantial content that you incorporated from the draft was authored by Sym1 and have attributed him in edit summary to fix that issue.
I don't have any issue with the draft going live, if you think notability is sufficiently demonstrated. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 12:40, 7 August 2015 (UTC)
Thank you, Moonriddengirl. And thank you for fixing the remaining copyright (copyvio/attribution) problems neatly.
I suppose that the reason why nobody proposed a clean rewrite of the article was that nobody both (i) noticed the article's predicament and (ii) cared. Few contributors are much interested in photography (other than by celeb photographers, of celebs, or by themselves or their chums). I am, but I have limited time and stamina.
The notability question: Personally, I'm convinced of its notability. (Compared with, say, that of Category:Individual dresses.) But of course this means squat. Has it been discussed in the media (in the way that, say, celebs' individual dresses are discussed)? In English, no (it seems). In Icelandic, perhaps yes. I have better things to do with my time than defend a prematurely launched article in an AfD discussion, so I don't propose to move it to mainspace any time soon. But if it gets an ethical go-ahead, this may help me nudge some readers of Icelandic a second time. -- Hoary (talk) 13:20, 7 August 2015 (UTC)
Works for me, Hoary. :) I know that conflict - I've worked on many a jazz article where mainstream press was sadly lacking. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 13:28, 7 August 2015 (UTC)

Disputing Outlook.com move to Outlook Mail

Hello

I see that you have moved Outlook.com move to Outlook Mail after a WP:RM § TR request. The problem is, I was unaware of such an RM request because I find the move super-highly controversial. (I actually want to know where this strange name has come from!)

What can I do about it? Is there a chance that you revert the move and convert the request to a WP:RM § CM?

"Mr Cruel" and Murder of Kylie Maybury

@Anthony Appleyard: Hi. Could you add Murder of Kylie Maybury to your watchlist?

There's some uninformed speculation online that Mr. Cruel kidnapped, raped and killed Kylie and i don't want that to infect Kylie's article. I don't think that Mr Cruel did it - Mr Cruel was careful not to leave forensic evidence, and whoever raped and killed her left their sperm, pubic hair and DNA all over Kylie.

You don't move something as "uncontroversial" and then require a discussion to move it back when it turns out to be controversial. You should just put it back, and start a RfM to make the initial move. — kwami (talk) 05:39, 9 September 2015 (UTC)
No. Per WP:BOLD, it's up to you to justify the move, not up to those opposed to it to pass a RfM to revert it. You're an admin, you should know better.
I couldn't simply revert your move because you gummed it up so that was not possible. — kwami (talk) 17:19, 9 September 2015 (UTC)

Saidulla Marikkar

@Anthony Appleyard: That User:Obi2canibe has been tagging things on my pages including the one at Ministry of Urban Development, He claimed that article “ This article's factual accuracy is disputed” But i have provided the references to support the contents. So the original one at S. M. Marikkar didn't have any references that's a serious violation of WP:V, and the creator of S. M. Marikkar becomes me? in fact i have not created that page, that's obiviously not same subject. I would kindly request you to restore back to old history as that S. M. Marikkar page is only used as stub and now into redirect. I don't want to give the credits to Danusker as “creator” of the page. Either you can remove the history of Danusker since that user's contribution to the article is inefficient. Kindly reconsider reverting these history back to original otherwise i will lose the track of this record and people would claim that i'm not the original creater since the article is on my userpage. That would put me in a ridiculous position if i go to the RfA to show the contributions i have done. Please reconsider. ♔ MONARCH Talk to me 08:15, 14 September 2015 (UTC)

Adding bullets to posts

Why do you add a bullet to the original post in a section? It's uncommon, it causes poor diffs like [2], and it can prevent pings from working in the reply as reported at Template talk:Reply to#No ping. mw:Help:Echo#Technical details says: "The diff chunk must be recognised as an addition of new lines of text, not a change to existing lines.". PrimeHunter (talk) 09:49, 18 September 2015 (UTC)

Thank you, PrimeHunter! I was just going to ask the same question, because I had saved the above section link to come back and check for a response. That was how I found out that my protection level request had been done, not by responding to the "ping", which didn't notify me. So AA, you might find the above-referenced discussion informative.

The undiscussed move must be reverted

You have got it wrong. The relevant policies and guidelines say that the undiscussed move must be reverted to allow for an RM to be held, and as such, I filed a request to revert that move. The burden is on those who want to change the article title to lobby for a change, not the other way around. Revert the undiscussed move at once, to allow for an RM. RGloucester — ☎ 17:13, 20 September 2015 (UTC)

Further information can be found at WT:UKT#FGW to GWR and also user talk:Mjroots#Who do you think you are?, where RGloucester has been demanding that I revert a move that was previously discussed and had consensus, and that I remove the move protection which I specifically put in place to prevent a move war. RGloucester has threatened me with "action" but nothing has come of it yet. I pointed him to ANI. Contrary to his assertation, the move was fully discussed as far back as June, when it became known that the name was changing. Mjroots (talk) 17:49, 20 September 2015 (UTC)
There was never an RM held. A discussion in June has no relevance now. No outside input was solicited. The discussion at a Wikiproject is not sufficient to move an article. Believe me, AN/I is on my agenda. First, however, I need to get this article back to where it should be so that an RM can be held. Priorities. RGloucester — ☎ 17:50, 20 September 2015 (UTC)

Odd situation

Hello AA. One of my wikignome projects is working with the Category:Wikipedia pages with incorrect protection templates. Your removal of the protection has caused that article to show up in the category. You did remove the "semi" template but left the "move" one. I think that you may have removed both protections but only one template though that is just a guess. Since there might be good reasons for leaving/restoring the "move" protection I wanted to make you aware of this so you can fix things as you see fit. Thanks for your time.

Talk:Great Western Railway (train operating company)

So it seems that RGloucester is having severe issues with the existence of the contested technical move request, which he himself contested. Pleas stop bat and instruct him in the correct procedure. He seems to want to disallow any sort of RM tag on the page so he can falsely claim there was no RM and that there is no consensus for the move, even though he's clearly wrong; the entire prior section was a discussion about the title of the article, even if it didn't use the RM. template. (Frankly, I think RG should be booted altogether, as he's an arrogant, battleground-minded pain in the butt who has literally claimed to speak for God. He's either a total troll or really not someone who has all his marbles. Either way, he is not a productive editor, just here to push his ideas with absolutely no respect for consensus or any one else at all. We'd be better off if he'd just shove off for good.) oknazevad (talk) 18:07, 20 September 2015 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Acid-base reaction theories

Hello Anthony Appleyard,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Acid-base reaction theories for deletion, because it's too short to identify the subject of the article.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Arbustum (talk) 20:51, 26 September 2015 (UTC)

Mv request

Hello, Anthony A. Please would you move over two sandbox pages I created to my current user(talk)space?
I'd like User talk:84.92.129.87/sandbox3 and User talk:84.92.129.87/sandbox1 to be under my current IP, which changed yesterday. So that's moves, without leaving redirects, to User talk:87.115.217.225/sandbox3 and User talk:87.115.217.225/sandbox1 respectively. Thanks, 87.115.217.225 (talk) 19:58, 27 September 2015 (UTC)

Technical/Uncontroversial moves

Hi, you had acted on some move requests from 91.9.120.145. That's a sock fo Tobias Conradi and anything he does is controversial. As you can see, some of the moves he'd requested were reverts of his earlier sock by The Blade of the Northern Lights. We had this really long discussion and AN and painful clean up after his last set of socks in August, that he has now switched to requesting moves as non-controversial instead of performing them himself. FYI. cheers. —SpacemanSpiff 18:16, 2 October 2015 (UTC)

Malaysians

Based on 2010 census, Malaysians includes citizens, permanent residents, non-citizens, refugees. In another words, any person residing in Malaysia more than six months (excluding tourists for short vacation) may identify themselves as Malaysian. As a results, 30 millions population is counted without excluding non-citizens. If we excluding non-citizens and overseas Malaysian/diaspora (do not reside in Malaysia more than six months) from Malaysian population, I am sure that less than 20 millions is Malaysian citizens who really residing in Malaysia at the time of census. Malaysian people is not equally same to Malaysian citizens because to gain citizenship is another story. Foreign-born people may gain Malaysian citizenship by registration and naturalization. In short, the Burmese who residing (legally or illegally) in Malaysia still subject to Malaysian law, so it is undisputed words for Burmese to be considered Malaysian. It applies to any foreign-born people who live in Malaysia. Alexander Iskandar (talk) 11:12, 10 October 2015 (UTC)

Let me ask you why 2010 census counts 271,899 non-Malaysian citizens as part of the Malaysian population. Why does the Malaysian population do not excluding people who reside in Malaysia more than six months but being a permanent residents, temporary residents, illegal workers, refugees, prisoners, aliens, and any kinds of non-citizens. If we just only count Malaysian citizens as Malaysian, how about Malaysian citizens who study abroad, work abroad or live abroad. Do the Malaysian diasporas who leave Malaysia for more than six months are prohibited to identify themselves as Malaysians and being excluded from the census??

Marks Barfield / Marks Barfield Architects

I was surprised to see this processed as 'contested' - it was requested as a "Requests to revert undiscussed moves:" (with what I thought was a solid and uncontroversial rationale & per countless precedents, and it had no prior move history - I thought the drill was to revert (sensibly) contested undiscussed moves first, and then discuss as necessary? - that's certainly what happened when I made similar requests in the past) - so I'm wondering if it got processed as an "‎Uncontroversial technical requests:" in error? 223.205.244.220 (talk) 03:13, 21 October 2015 (UTC)
