Page moves
Thank you for your edits. Would ask one thing of you, though... please check talk pages before you move a page. There is an ongoing requested move discussion at Talk:Guy Lafleur (sculpture)#Requested move 3 August 2019 that must be closed as "moved" before those pages should be renamed. Thanks again for your consideration in this! Paine Ellsworth, ed. put'r there 09:53, 17 August 2019 (UTC)
- @Paine Ellsworth: I realised that afterwards and stopped moving pages. I was really looking for any backlog of requests to move pages over redirects. Can you direct me to the place where these are listed? Cwmhiraeth (talk) 10:03, 17 August 2019 (UTC)
- There are two sections at WP:RM that you can monitor, the technical requests section and the backlog section. It also helps to read the closing instructions. Also, take a look at {{Italic title}}, which will explain how to deal with titles that are in italics. Again, thank you – especially for wanting to work with the backlog! Sometimes it gets pretty backed up. Paine Ellsworth, ed. put'r there 10:52, 17 August 2019 (UTC)
- Should also mention to you a third section at WP:RM, the elapsed section. If you don't find any requests in the tech or backlog sections that you want to close, those requests in the elapsed section have been active for at least seven days and can also be closed. Paine Ellsworth, ed. put'r there 16:40, 17 August 2019 (UTC)

Class is in Session in the Tree of Life |
In an interesting turn of events, this month's guest column is by my alter-ego, Elysia (Wiki Ed): *Puts on Wiki Education hat* Hi everyone, I'm Elysia and I work for Wiki Education. You may know me as Enwebb. I got a request last month to let you know how Wiki Education is intersecting with the Tree of Life subprojects. As one of Wiki Education's major goals is to improve topics related to the sciences, leading to our Communicating Science initiative, we end up supporting quite a few in the biological sciences. Here are the TOL-related courses active this term: What is the impact of student editors in Tree of Life? ![]() Altogether, these 16 courses have 347 student participants. As the end of the semester hasn't come yet, these numbers are still growing, but these students have:
Some of our best student work this semester (of any kind, not just biodiversity) has come from Agelaia's Behavioural Ecology course—you may remember this as the course that created WikiProject Diptera. The students have several Good Article nominations, including Dryomyza anilis, Anastrepha ludens, Aedes taeniorhynchus, Drosophila silvestris, Drosophila subobscura, and Ceratitis capitata. And while long-term participation from students is low, there's always the chance that we'll discover a Wikipedian. I had never edited before my Wikipedia assignment in 2017 and I'm still here nearly 20,000 edits later! After I poked around in the beginning of the semester, I had the realization that not many people write Wikipedia, and very few of those have a special interest in bats. If I didn't stick around to write the content, there was no guarantee that it would ever get done. Why are species articles suitable for students? Writing about taxonomic groups is a great fit for students, as it keeps them away from areas where new editors traditionally struggle. The notability policy is generous towards taxa, and there is little danger of a student's work getting removed for lack of notability; this is to be expected when students write biographies. Students may struggle with encyclopedic tone for biographies and stray towards promotional writing, but this is much less common when writing about a shrew or algae! Additionally, we're never going to run out of species to write about. Students have a bounty of stubs and redlinks to pick from. Creating a new article or expanding an existing one also takes a fairly predictable structure, with plenty of articles that students can model after. Don't students just create messes for volunteers to clean up? Our sincere hope is that, no, they don't, and we take several steps to try to minimize the burden on volunteer labor. With automatic plagiarism detection, alerts when students edit a Good or Featured Article, and notifications when students edit an article subject to discretionary sanctions, we try to stay ahead of problems as much as possible. We also review all student work at the end of each term. Ian, Shalor, and I are always happy to receive pings alerting us to student issues that need to be addressed. |

Problem with close of Litter RM
Hi, I have an issue with the close of the requested move of Litter. It was non admin closed after only a short period of discussion. I do not see why it did not merit being relisted. There was an outstanding concern raised by one of the people participating in the RM that was not answered and could have affected the outcome. Overall it seems to have been extremely premature for a non-administrator to close the RM and it was far from a SNOW consensus.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 17:24, 3 December 2019 (UTC)
- @Zxcvbnm: The move discussion had been open for eight days, there were three well-argued "oppose"s and there had been no comments for the last six days. It seemed a clear case of "no consensus" to me, however if you wish, I will reopen and relist it. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 18:45, 3 December 2019 (UTC)
- It was a good close. Re-open it and I'll close it meself :p !!! (or possibly just !vote that way...) ——SN54129 19:06, 3 December 2019 (UTC)
- I don't think it was very clear. None of the oppose !votes gave a single policy-based argument whatsoever. In fact RedSlash seems to have ignored the entire point behind the move and misinterpreted it to something else.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 19:51, 3 December 2019 (UTC)
Up for collaborating for another GA about a holiday darter? I feel like we need the set. Maybe there's also a Valentine's darter... Enwebb (talk) 21:07, 3 December 2019 (UTC)
- Sure. I have just been working on the Christmas white-eye, which is destined for DYK. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 21:10, 3 December 2019 (UTC)
DYK for Xylosandrus crassiusculus
On 4 December 2019, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Xylosandrus crassiusculus, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the granulate ambrosia beetle is native to Asia but has spread as an invasive species to Africa, the Americas, Europe, and Oceania? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Xylosandrus crassiusculus. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Xylosandrus crassiusculus), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Prep 4
Hi, I'm very surprised that you promoted this hook and this image for Template:Did you know nominations/Warwick Road, Earl's Court. It's not such an interesting picture, and the hook isn't hooky at all (another building slated for demolition?). Why did you decide on this instead of ALT2 with the alt picture? Alternately, ALT2 would work in a quirky slot without a picture. Yoninah (talk) 11:07, 4 December 2019 (UTC)
- @Yoninah: At first I was going to include the hook in Prep 2 without an image, but I changed my mind as this looked such a grim, prison-like, block of flats. Listed buildings in the UK are normally the best examples of architectural merit, and the idea of listing this block so that it would avoid demolition appealed to me. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 11:39, 4 December 2019 (UTC)
- I understand, but do people outside the UK appreciate the significance here? Yoninah (talk) 12:44, 4 December 2019 (UTC)
- @Yoninah: I don't know. You are welcome to demote it if you wish. I think this is the best hook and I don't particularly favour promoting alt2 and the other image. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 13:56, 4 December 2019 (UTC)
- Well, you were the promoter so that's why I asked you. We'll leave it. We'll see if anyone else comments. By the way, thanks for filling in the sets I left open. We seem to have a dearth of people hooks, but of the ones we have, most are women, which can make really unbalanced sets. Yoninah (talk) 14:58, 4 December 2019 (UTC)
- Indeed, there is a dearth of biographies, so I am reducing to three per set rather than four, two women and a man! Cwmhiraeth (talk) 18:30, 4 December 2019 (UTC)

DYK for Peleng tarsier
On 6 December 2019, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Peleng tarsier, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the Peleng tarsier, a small carnivorous primate, can rotate its head nearly 180 degrees in either direction? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Peleng tarsier.

Disambiguation link notification for December 7
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Who's your daddy?, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Who's Your Daddy? (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles.

Assessment ratings
I've noted that you tend to importance-assess your articles as 'Low'. Don't be modest; any animal or plant that is a pest, a weed, a crop, a medicinal, an ornamental, or in any way interesting to people should be assessed at least as 'Mid'. In WP:PLANTS, nearly 90% of all plants are assessed as 'Low', and even as I am going through and reassessing, only a tiny fraction of them are 'Mids'. Most taxa are completely uninteresting to Wikipedia's readership. Abductive (reasoning) 00:26, 11 December 2019 (UTC)
- @Abductive: OK. I have always thought of species as of low importance, families as of mid importance and higher level taxa as high importance. Is the rating system spelt out somewhere? Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:35, 11 December 2019 (UTC)
- WP:WikiProject Plants/Assessment#Importance scale says "The criteria used for rating article importance are not meant to be an absolute or canonical view of how significant the topic is. Rather, they attempt to gauge the probability of the average reader of Wikipedia needing to look up the topic (and thus the immediate need to have a suitably well-written article on it). Thus, subjects with greater popular notability may be rated higher than topics which are arguably more "important" but which are of interest primarily to students of botany." The same text appears at WP:Animals, but for the word botany being swapped out of zoology. So, a farmer in India needs to look up a weird new bug eating his crop, and spends some hard-earned money at an internet cafe. We are here to help him. Abductive (reasoning) 07:54, 11 December 2019 (UTC)

Snakefly GAN
The Snakefly GAN seems well stuck, our reviewer hasn't edited all this month. We could ask for it to be put back in the queue. Chiswick Chap (talk) 00:07, 16 December 2019 (UTC)
- That might be a good thing. I had forgotten all about it. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:13, 16 December 2019 (UTC)
- OK, it's back in the queue. If it begins over the holiday, maybe you could mumble something into the GA2 page and we'll get to work on it around the New Year. Meanwhile, Happy Christmas! Chiswick Chap (talk) 09:52, 16 December 2019 (UTC)

Mid-Atlantic accent RM
Hello, do you mind reconsidering your closing statement of Talk:Mid-Atlantic accent#Proposed move to Transatlantic accent? I too see no consensus to move, but I see no consensus not to move either. Nardog (talk) 02:51, 16 December 2019 (UTC)
- I have changed the closing statement. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:21, 16 December 2019 (UTC)
Sarah Gruber
In this edit, why did you say she's Italian? It isn't in the article. Her name sounds more German/Austrian than Italian, and if she's "from club ASKÖ SBC Linz", that's also Austrian. (Northern Austrian.) I didn't find better evidence than that. Art LaPella (talk) 07:12, 16 December 2019 (UTC)
- @Art LaPella: I'm not sure where I got it from but I think it is correct as you can see here. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 07:33, 16 December 2019 (UTC)
POTD with no target article
It is highly irregular to create a POTD with no bold linked target article as you did in Template:POTD/2019-12-31. We usually skip these FPs until such time that an appropriate article is created to support POTD appearance. --- C&C (Coffeeandcrumbs) 11:15, 16 December 2019 (UTC)
- @Coffeeandcrumbs: It's rather bad luck if a featured picture has no target article and is therefore not allowed to be POTD. Having spent some time writing the blurb, I hope this one will be allowed to stand. The picture does after all appear in the Gustav Klimt article. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 11:34, 16 December 2019 (UTC)

Hi, would you be able to promote Template:Did you know nominations/Battle of Pozzolo to Prep 4? I reserved a slot for it. Also, would you be able to promote Template:Did you know nominations/Reuven Elbaz sometime during Hanukkah (December 23-30)? Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 19:51, 16 December 2019 (UTC)

New Page Review newsletter December 2019
- Reviewer of the Year
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/28/New_page_reviewer_of_the_year_cup.svg/200px-New_page_reviewer_of_the_year_cup.svg.png)
This year's Reviewer of the Year is Rosguill. Having gotten the reviewer PERM in August 2018, they have been a regular reviewer of articles and redirects, been an active participant in the NPP community, and has been the driving force for the emerging NPP Source Guide that will help reviewers better evaluate sourcing and notability in many countries for which it has historically been difficult.
Special commendation again goes to Onel5969 who ends the year as one of our most prolific reviewers for the second consecutive year. Thanks also to Boleyn and JTtheOG who have been in the top 5 for the last two years as well.
Several newer editors have done a lot of work with CAPTAIN MEDUSA and DannyS712 (who has also written bots which have patrolled thousands of redirects) being new reviewers since this time last year.
Thanks to them and to everyone reading this who has participated in New Page Patrol this year.

- Redirect autopatrol
A recent Request for Comment on creating a new redirect autopatrol pseduo-permission was closed early. New Page Reviewers are now able to nominate editors who have an established track record creating uncontroversial redirects. At the individual discretion of any administrator or after 24 hours and a consensus of at least 3 New Page Reviewers an editor may be added to a list of users whose redirects will be patrolled automatically by DannyS712 bot III.
- Source Guide Discussion
Set to launch early in the new year is our first New Page Patrol Source Guide discussion. These discussions are designed to solicit input on sources in places and topic areas that might otherwise be harder for reviewers to evaluate. The hope is that this will allow us to improve the accuracy of our patrols for articles using these sources (and/or give us places to perform a WP:BEFORE prior to nominating for deletion). Please watch the New Page Patrol talk page for more information.
- This month's refresher course
While New Page Reviewers are an experienced set of editors, we all benefit from an occasional review. This month consider refreshing yourself on Wikipedia:Notability (geographic features). Also consider how we can take the time for quality in this area. For instance, sources to verify human settlements, which are presumed notable, can often be found in seconds. This lets us avoid the (ugly) 'Needs more refs' tag.

Beech Grove I
Saw your featured picture page, and nice write-up, and I added the image to its location page. Have you thought of creating an article for Beech Grove I? You can pretty much use most of the information from the featured picture itself. Never saw the painting before, and it's a beauty. Thanks. Randy Kryn (talk) 19:51, 1 January 2020 (UTC)
- @Randy Kryn: Thanks. Actually I found it difficult to find much information about the picture, and any article I might have created would have been very stubby. However there are a number of featured pictures that were promoted years ago and that have never been used as "Picture of the Day" because they have no articles, or nothing but a stub, and I am trying to write articles for some of these.

About the Wikicup
So, if I create, edit or expand an article, I automatically gain points or do I need to say I edited that article? Davi Moura Araújo 475 (talk) 11:44, 3 January 2020 (UTC)
- @Davi Moura Araújo 475: If you create or expand an article and it qualifies for DYK, then you can claim the points on your submissions page when the article appears on the main page. I see you have created "State Park of The Dunes ( Parque Estadual das Dunas )" as a draft. It is about 400 bytes in length at the moment and needs to be at least 1500 bytes in order to qualify for DYK. You will then need to nominate it at DYK within seven days of moving it into mainspace. Another way of achieving a DYK is expanding an existing short stub, as I did in Amazônia National Park, then nominating it for DYK. There are other ways of scoring points in the WikiCup, but DYK is probably the easiest for a beginner. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 17:13, 3 January 2020 (UTC)

Proposed move of Mid-Atlantic accent to Transatlantic accent
Hello,
In the page move proposal that you closed, I've noticed, funnily enough, that the final editor who voted "oppose" actually thought that the proposal was in reference to the Mid-Atlantic American English rather than the Mid-Atlantic accent. He notes that he "once heard this accent referred to as the Delawarean Accent". To me, at least, this is a clear reference to the Mid-Atlantic American English accent, which is also known as the Delaware Valley accent, is centered around the Delaware Bay, and is spoken in the entire state of Delaware.
This editor's understandable confusion only further demonstrates the need to re-titled the "Mid-Atlantic accent" page by moving it from the unnecessarily confusing "Mid-Atlantic accent" to the more commonly sourced "Transatlantic accent." The page move was proposed in part to avoid confusion over the similarly named dialect, and yet, bizarrely, the move was thwarted because one of the very editors themselves who voted to "oppose" the move was confused and believed the article was about Mid-Atlantic American English. Confusion or not (and I'm not trying to be anti-democratic or attack anyone here), the fact that the final vote was decided by a now indefinitely blocked editor who couldn't even be bothered to actually read and comprehend the article (and has a history of blanking entire pages that involve accents) is a little ridiculous, no? Ultimately, however, the proposal was also based on the sources, the majority of which overwhelming refer to the "Transatlantic accent" rather than the "Mid-Atlantic accent". Madreterra (talk) 20:42, 4 January 2020 (UTC)
- I see it was three weeks ago that I closed the survey as "no consensus", so it is a bit late now to reopen it and relist, and there were other opposes as well. However, you could make another proposed move, pointing out the defect in the previous one, if you wished. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 21:19, 4 January 2020 (UTC)

CJ Bott requested move
Hi Cwmhiraeth. I just wanted to quickly seek some clarification on a requested move you recently closed. It appears you did so after rather less than the allotted seven days? Also I would have expected a relist was more appropriate in the circumstances, given that one of the two oppose !votes was mere WP:IDONTLIKEIT? I'd be interested to get your thoughts ahead of a possible review. Thanks, Bring back Daz Sampson (talk) 14:07, 11 January 2020 (UTC)
- I think if you work it out carefully, I closed after seven days and five hours, and there was certainly no consensus among the participants of the discussion. If the use of her initials rather than her full name becomes more established, you can make another move proposal for the article in due course. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 14:17, 11 January 2020 (UTC)

Snooker season page moves
Hi Cwmhiraeth, Thank you for implementing the page moves agreed in the discussion Talk:2019–2020 snooker season#Requested move 3 January 2020. In your closing statement you said Moved to format "1968–69 snooker season"
but you have used format "1968–1969 snooker season". Was there a particular reason for this? MOS:DATERANGE states that the end year can have two digits if they are consecutive years, and this has been acknowledged in the discussion. The consensus seems to have been for the two-digit end-year format, and this would also be consistent with other sports season titles. Thanks, Rodney Baggins (talk) 19:42, 13 January 2020 (UTC)
- @Rodney Baggins: I made an error, and worked backwards to 2004 before I realised it. The earlier seasons are in the correct format, and I will correct the ones I got wrong. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:49, 13 January 2020 (UTC)

Kamchatka RM
Can you please expand on your "no consensus" close at Talk:Kamchatka_Peninsula#Requested_move_3_January_2020, to explain how exactly you found "no consensus"? Or, better yet, reconsider your decision? I see the nom and three supports, and two opposes. By the numbers that's 4 to 2, and usually indicates consensus favoring a move, though it's important to look at the arguments themselves and weigh them according to how well they are based in policy. On the support side, the nom cites primary topic, which is unchallenged, and rhetorically asks why not go with the simpler title, implying WP:CONCISE. The first support implies COMMONNAME ("a majority of websites use 'Kamchatka' alone."). The second support (yours truly) explicitly cites COMMONNAME and provides a link to usage in the reliable source NY Times for basis. The third support cites ATDAB. On the oppose side (again, there are only two) the first oppose argues disambiguation is necessary because there are other Kamchatka uses (which are disambiguated). However, the Support claim that this use is primary (and therefore the disambiguation with "Peninsula" is unnecessary) is unchallenged. The second oppose is even weaker, merely asserting the longer title is "clearer" (that's not a WP:CRITERIA - many titles should be changed to be made "clearer" if that were a legitimate title consideration) and repeating the undisputed fact that it's ambiguous (there is a dab page for Kamchatka) again without challenging the primary topic claim. Maybe I missed something, and obviously I'm biased, but with my objectivity hat on I see a strong policy-based consensus on the Support side here, and a very weak WP:JDLI oppose. So, please, elaborate, or reconsider. Thanks. --В²C ☎ 19:30, 14 January 2020 (UTC)

Article move/name change for Syrian Civil War -> Syrian civil war
The infobox at that page - {{Syrian Civil War infobox}} or Template:Syrian Civil War infobox - Does it need to be moved to a new name too?... Also, there are a multitude of connected articles with Syrian Civil War (see their titles) not sure what should be done with them. Shearonink (talk) 16:50, 24 January 2020 (UTC)
- In the page move review, there was a consensus to move Syrian Civil War -> Syrian civil war, so I performed the move. The discussion centred on the capitalisation issues and was not concerned with the infobox or titles of other related articles. Further discussions may be needed with regard to them.

There's a bit of a WP:FORK issue between "Cimex" (slightly more on the biology) and "Bed bug" (rather more on diagnosis, prevention, treatment). Perhaps the second article should be renamed "Bed bug infestation" or something of that sort; unfortunately it redirects to "Bed bug", I'd say that was the wrong way around. There's a third article, Bed bug control techniques. WP:NOTHOWTO also intrudes; and I suspect WP:MEDRS will rear its ugly head. How many articles should there be? Chiswick Chap (talk) 15:14, 4 February 2020 (UTC)
- I will start looking at it tomorrow. I'm hoping that I can find some information on other species and the genus in general, but it may not be easy. Let's see how it goes. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:29, 4 February 2020 (UTC)

Re the above, I've just noticed a problem. Please could you kindly strike out ALT1 to prevent it from being mistakenly put on the main page? The nominator has replaced it with ALT2 "membership of" (instead of membership in") because it is a British English article. My apologies for not striking it earlier. Storye book (talk) 11:25, 26 January 2020 (UTC)
- @Storye book: Well, I have done that, but it was probably not necessary because it was ALT2 that I had promoted. I was more concerned about the "islands throughout Argyll", when I would have preferred "islands of Argyll". Cwmhiraeth (talk) 11:43, 26 January 2020 (UTC)

Please do not move a page to a title that is harder to follow, or move it unilaterally against naming conventions or consensus, as you did to Thomas Brierley. This includes making page moves while a discussion remains underway. We have some guidelines to help with deciding what title is best for a subject. If you would like to experiment with page titles and moving, please use the test Wikipedia. Thank you. Dl2000 (talk) 16:39, 1 February 2020 (UTC)
- Thank you for your kind advice. You will find a discussion on the proposed move at Talk:Thomas Brierley where I found there was a consensus to move the article, closed the discussion (which had been open for the requisite week) and performed the move.

- Sincere apologies for that, somehow missed the talk page move discussion there. Before doing that move revert, I did not find the phrase "grave cipher" in the article, your move only indicated "better title" for the edit summary and you did seem to have some controversy on earlier page move matters e.g. User talk:Cwmhiraeth#Page moves. Nevertheless your move was clearly justified and not vandalism, I retract the above message and have restored the page to Thomas Brierley grave cipher per consensus.

Vital Articles | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The vital articles project on English Wikipedia began in 2004 when an editor transferred a list from Meta-Wiki: List of articles every Wikipedia should have. The first incarnation of the list became what is now level 3. As of 2019, there are 5 levels of vital articles:
Each level is inclusive of all previous levels, meaning that the 1,000 Level 3 articles include those listed on Levels 2 and 1. Below is an overview of the distribution of vital articles, and the quality of the articles. While the ultimate goal of the vital articles project is to have Featured-class articles, I also considered Good Articles to be "complete" for the purposes of this list. Animals (1,148 designated out of projected 2,400)
Plants, fungi, and other organisms (510 designated out of projected 1,200)
Many articles have yet to be designated for Tree of Life taxonomic groups, with 1,942 outstanding articles to be added. Anyone can add vital articles to the list! Restructuring may be necessary, as the only viruses included as of yet are under the category "Health". The majority of vital articles needing improvement are level 5, but here are some outstanding articles from the other levels:
· Abiogenesis
· Sexual dimorphism |
