Proposed move of Charles Hansen
Since there is clearly a difference of opinion between you and another editor on the best use of this page a move is not uncontroversial and unsuitable for WP:G6 deletion. Since this move was recently declined, to so soon resubmit the request is inappropriate. WP:RM is the place to go. Just Chilling (talk) 00:18, 7 December 2015 (UTC)
- I really don't understand why a G6 was refused here, I was obviously going to place a G6 move template on it myself. In ictu oculi (talk) 15:28, 8 December 2015 (UTC)
- User:Just Chilling can you explain why a G6 is refused in such a case, and similar to move Rife (disambiguation) over baseline at Rife? Where is the controversy you see in either case? In ictu oculi (talk) 23:47, 9 December 2015 (UTC)
- I have taken a second look at these pages and moved both. Just Chilling (talk) 00:43, 10 December 2015 (UTC)
- User:Just Chilling the Talk:Rife (disambiguation) seems to have been left behind. Can you fix it? Thanks. In ictu oculi (talk) 01:02, 10 December 2015 (UTC)

- Many thanks. User:Some Gadget Geek I think someone else may be moving some of these baseline dabs to WP:MALPLACED positions. I did not move Rife to Rife (disambiguation) for example. Please check the move history on them. Thanks. In ictu oculi (talk) 01:20, 10 December 2015 (UTC)
Lex Valeria Comment
Hi. You've re-created the Lex Valeria page that's a redirect. The term "Lex Valeria" is completely ambiguous and in fact many people would not immediately associate it with the law of 82 BC. I'm planning on working on some of the other Leges Valeriae too. That's why it needs to be disambiguation. - Eponymous-Archon (talk) 16:51, 14 December 2015 (UTC)
- Whoops, thanks for letting me know. I'm moving the disambiguation page to the base name now. <<< SOME GADGET GEEK >>> (talk) 16:54, 14 December 2015 (UTC)
- Actually, I can't do so without deleting the page. I've tagged it for speedy deletion. Thanks again. <<< SOME GADGET GEEK >>> (talk) 16:57, 14 December 2015 (UTC)
- NP. Thanks for keeping an eye out. - Eponymous-Archon (talk) 17:22, 14 December 2015 (UTC)

dab moves
Hello - you recently moved the basenames for Burial Ground, Caminando, and Country Mile to the respective dab pages. There are currently pending RMs though, to see whether or not there are WP:PRIMARYTOPICS for any of these terms. They were moved as such without discussion. I introduced (disambiguation) in preparation fro moving the original titles back, per WP:BRD, but an admin declined to do so, and opened the RMs instead. Dohn joe (talk) 16:39, 14 December 2015 (UTC)
- There are none (for now). I moved them back since they automatically appeared at WP:Malplaced disambiguation pages. Even if there are, you should keep the disambiguation pages at the base name, and only move them once a clear primary topic has been decided upon. <<< SOME GADGET GEEK >>> (talk) 16:43, 14 December 2015 (UTC)
- I understand that, but there had been primary topics for each of these until they were unilaterally moved. Normally, I (or any other autoconfirmed user) could simply move back to the status quo, and put the burden on the person wanting to make the change. And normally, admins are happy to help with that process. This time, though, they disagreed with the primarytopic issue themselves, and so didn't move it back to the previous status quo. Ideally, the current articles under discussion would have been moved back to the baselines before the RMs were started. Dohn joe (talk) 16:48, 14 December 2015 (UTC)
- I don't really know how I can take care of this, so please feel free to bring this up with the admin in question. <<< SOME GADGET GEEK >>> (talk) 17:31, 14 December 2015 (UTC)

Flexity
Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Flexity (tram) may be of some interest to you. Secondarywaltz (talk) 22:57, 16 December 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks - I made this nom myself cause my draft (in which I expand on the details of each particular model in a nutshell) at Draft:Bombardier Flexity was rejected twice due to the lack of sources to address WP:NOTABILITY concerns. Feel free to help me tidy up the draft and get it submitted for inclusion in Wikipedia! <<< SOME GADGET GEEK >>> (talk) 23:16, 16 December 2015 (UTC)
- Sorry. I missed the fact it was you in both places. You should have just added the content from your draft to the existing approved article and then renamed that one to whatever you thought appropriate. You are doing this the hard way. Secondarywaltz (talk) 00:42, 17 December 2015 (UTC)
- What's the point of WP:AFC then if we could BE BOLD every time? I will wait for the outcome of this AFD before deciding how to proceed. <<< SOME GADGET GEEK >>> (talk) 01:14, 17 December 2015 (UTC)

GO Transit
I do not understand this edit. Can you explain about the phone number? --Natural RX 05:57, 24 December 2015 (UTC)
- Oh, I noticed that the text "Found callcentre" was appearing on the page above the intro line, as if it was a test edit or something. I'll try to put it back to the way it should be, if you want me to. <<< SOME GADGET GEEK >>> (talk) 15:35, 24 December 2015 (UTC)
Your counter-vandalism work
After a long period of evaluation regarding your counter-vandalism work, not just at your Counter-vandalism unit academy page, but also in your contributions, I have come to the conclusion that it is most likely unwise for an admin to grant you the rollbacker
right. This stems from you not being able to adapt to many a policy, nor heeding my markings, and the general lack of improvement. I also think that the quality of your work has gone down with STiki, which worries me when we're talking about Huggle and rollback, which are both much more potent tools. I have conferred with some administrators, and in general they're in agreement with me. Thus, I don't believe that you will be able to finish the CVUA curriculum, perhaps this is the failure of me as the instructor, but I won't be continuing your training. If you believe you can handle rollback, feel free to go to request for permissions and request it. If an evaluating admin wishes for more of my opinions, please email me. Thank you for your work, and I hope to see you around. Kharkiv07 (T) 23:56, 29 December 2015 (UTC)
