The article Harry Pollitt you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Harry Pollitt for comments about the article. Well done! If the article has not already appeared on the main page as a "Did you know" item, or as a bold link under "In the News" or in the "On This Day" prose section, you can nominate it within the next seven days to appear in DYK. Bolded names with dates listed at the bottom of the "On This Day" column do not affect DYK eligibility.

Hi FOARP,

I think you might have confused the Meadow Oaks AFD with a different one; this discussion involves a verified current community, abet a non-notable one. BilledMammal (talk) 09:07, 15 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Fixed. Yeah, the Meadow Oaks keep was also somewhat dubious. FOARP (talk) 09:10, 15 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Greetings. Was wondering if you could help me out. A while ago (sorry to be so unspecific) there were a bunch of articles created by a single editor on small communities in India. Initially, you either speedied or prodded them, since they were all solely sourced to a non-reliable source. Then you self reverted and added a link to the appropriate India census page, showing that they did indeed meet WP:GEOLAND. I come across this quite frequently during NPP, but for the life of me, I'm a bit dense and can't figure out how to search that database. I clicked on one of your ref links, and plugged the name of the entity into the search field, and it simply brings up the page which you referenced, not a new search result. Obviously I'm doing something wrong. But if I could learn how to use that tool, that would save a lot of time reverting/draftifying/prodding etc. articles which are poorly sourced and don't have any links to show it is an official place. Case in point is Jarjangi, which I came across today. If I could simply look it up in the census, I could simply add the source and mark it reviewed. Anyway, any help you could throw my way would be appreciated. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 11:35, 22 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

If its a village with census data its probably inherently notable, as noted before most census places are notable and most villages are notable. Crouch, Swale (talk) 11:41, 22 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This concerns the article Romuald Giedroyć, in whose talk page on November 5, you clearly stated that there was No Consensus. User:Marcelus wrote to you later that day on your talk page, so, he clearly knew about your closure. Despite that, he moved the page on January 18 from Romualdas Giedraitis → Romuald Giedroyć, which is a clear breach of Wikipedia guidelines and rules. Perhaps you could revert Marcelus' unwarranted move. I was thinking of writing about this in WP:RM and it requires involving the closer of the discussion - as this is my first time doing this, perhaps this should not go to WP:RM, but elsewhere, I don't know. Best regards.--Cukrakalnis (talk) 14:37, 5 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I'm not sure if I understood the given arguments correctly, but multiple users on Talk:Karelia (historical province of Finland)#Splitting proposal came to the conclusion that neither Karelians or Karelians (Finns) are a primary group in English. The DAB page Karelian also already exists with multiple links on it. --Vilutar (talk) 13:23, 28 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Vilutar, the issue is that the proposed DAB was (as argued effectively with reference to WP:ONEOTHER and Wikipedia:Primary topics in WP:ONEOTHER situations) not needed to achieve this - a simple hat-note on the article achieves disambiguation. Karelian exists with multiple links - but not just two links. FOARP (talk) 13:56, 28 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It's difficult for me to say anything as the moving of the page was never a part of my original proposal (on the other page) and maybe the people who wished for the moving should be doing their own work on that front. I still struggle to understand what you mean by the last sentence since we have situations like Indians linking to Indian which has multiple links on it, so it would make sense to me with the same logic that Karelians would link to Karelian with multiple links on it.

Hi Vilutar, this is where the point about WP:PRECISION comes in. FOARP (talk) 14:08, 28 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You recently offered a statement in a request for arbitration.

Hello! Thank you for your recent creation. Would you please replace "Kersten" (misspelled) with her correct name? In Wikipedia articles, we also avoid using first names only. I suggest you use "Bernadotte" or "Kerstin Bernadotte" rather than just her first name. I am going to make a change re: their titles from Luxembourg, which you will better understand if you read Prince Bernadotte. Thank you again & best wishes, --SergeWoodzing (talk) 16:01, 5 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the pointers SergeWoodzing. I often find it hard to decide what name to use - "Bernadotte" could be misread as a reference to her husband, whereas "Kersten Bernadotte" ends up a bit over-long and the same effect is achieved simply by using the first name. Not sure if we have a MOS on this but please feel free to post a link if you are aware of one. I've fixed the spelling but please feel free to make any other edits you wish.

Hello, FOARP,

I closed this AFD a couple of hours ago and am just now finishing up deleting the over 200+ articles. Please do not do such large bundled AFD nominations in the future. Apparently, XfDCloser can not handle a mass deletion of this size so each article has to be deleted individually. Plus, some AFD participants are upset at the prospect of trying to evaluate hundreds of articles over a week or two. I can understand the impulse to put together all articles of a certain type but, technically and collaboratively, 200 is just too much at one go. Thank you. Liz ^{Read!
