It said: "The page could not be moved, for the following reason: / The page could not be moved: a page of that name already exists, or the name you have chosen is not valid. / Please choose another name, or use Requested moves to ask for the page to be moved. / Do not manually move the article by copying and pasting it; the page history must be moved along with the article text." Larry Koenigsberg (talk) 05:20, 26 March 2021 (UTC

• Thanks for the clarification! I'm not sure exactly what the message means technically, but anyway, at worst someone will come along in a few days to handle the requested move. Adumbrativus (talk) 20:02, 28 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I plan to undo your edits to the Schwarz function article, because they were not improvements, and fatally obscured the simple point of the article as written. Please reply here if you find this objectionable, instead of starting an edit war. Thanks! Eleuther (talk) 17:48, 31 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Eleuther, let's try to find points where we agree. To break it down, I made several changes:

1. To add a hatnote to Schwartz function.
2. To say what a Schwarz function is in the lead sentence rather than in the second paragraph.
3. To correct the fact that it was introduced in Davis and Pollak 1958, not in Davis 1974.
4. To clarify that, despite the name, Schwarz did not explicitly use the Schwarz function.
5. To include examples.
6. To add references.

Among these, what do you agree with and what do you disagree with? Reverting would seem to suggest that you disagree with everything, which I hope is not the case. Finally, I hope you don't disagree merely with the increase in the length of the article. Adumbrativus (talk) 19:36, 31 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, very sorry, I withdraw my objections and have self-reverted my reversion. On my first two readings I couldn't get past the loss of readability from starting directly with technical language with no background or motivation. But hey, this is Wikipedia, so I shouldn't care about such things. Now that I've read it a few more times, I understand the issues better and would like to thank you for the contribution. In particular, I didn't know about the 1958 paper, which is obtuse of me, since it is cited in the book. I will now butt out and leave you to carry on as you see fit. Eleuther (talk) 16:23, 1 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the thoughtful reply! Adumbrativus (talk) 05:04, 2 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Leonhard Euler, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Harmonic series. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Please don't undo moves with unanimous support because no one has gotten around to formally closing a discussion, a step which often takes an extremely long time. This is a complete waste of everyone's time, and you're far too inexperienced on Wikipedia to be effectively (if temporarily) thwarting consensus outcomes on a technicality. The Drover's Wife (talk) 10:37, 3 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Dear The Drover's Wife, I understand your concern and would like to clarify the reasons for my move. The move which I undid was Clive Palmer's United Australia Party → United Australia Party (2021). The chosen title "United Australia Party (2021)" had no support at the talk page. It may well be that "United Australia Party (2013)" has or will have consensus, but certainly "United Australia Party (2021)" did not have consensus. For these reasons, I undid the move. Lastly, I respect your concern about WP:BURO, and I hope this makes clear that I did not act merely for the sake of procedural formality. Adumbrativus (talk) 20:33, 3 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

An editor has identified a potential problem with the redirect Megan (upcoming film) and has thus listed it for discussion.

Hello Adumbrativus, you need to close the RM discussion before moving a page. If not, other editors will assume the RM is still open. Judekkan (talk) 20:25, 9 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Judekkan, I moved and closed within one minute of each other. This is not like if I were to have moved and later closed after taking an hour to write a closing statement or something, which would be problematic and I wouldn't do. I imagine you are writing not because of theoretical concern for the editor who hypothetically might have seen the page during the less than one minute in between and hypothetically might have been confused about why the RM still seemed open, but because you in fact actually did see the page during the less than one minute in between and actually were confused, and for that I am sorry. Thanks, and I hope this addresses your concern. Adumbrativus (talk) 21:25, 9 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Performing a move without closure can cause a technical issue with RMCD bot, causing the bot to resend notifications to the already-moved pages because the bot does not know the RM discussion is done. This issue is more noticeable on a multi-RM request. What I'm telling you is not hypoththetical, it's based on past-expereices. Judekkan (talk) 21:45, 9 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I hadn't really thought about that aspect. So, if I understand it right, depending on how the timing lines up with RMCD bot's 15-minute cycle, the bot might post a second message on the other talk pages of a multi-move request, or, less commonly, WikiProjects. While this doesn't seem particularly consequential (the messages can be removed, and, in the case of talk pages, are on pages which would have appeared on watchlists anyway), it's not like I had a particularly strong reason to do it the other way either, so all things considered I will avoid it.

The redirect Megan (upcoming film) has been listed at redirects for discussion to determine whether its use and function meets the redirect guidelines. Anyone, including you, is welcome to comment on this redirect at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2023 February 27 § Megan (upcoming film) until a consensus is reached.

Hello, Adumbrativus. 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 a 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) 08:38, 29 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There is currently a Request Move discussion about William IV. Since you participated in the previous move discussion involving William IV, I thought you might want to know about this one. Cheers. Rreagan007 (talk) 19:34, 21 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! Looks like we've both got an interest in keeping these relevant articles up to date as the games continue. I wanted to let you know that there are drafts for the Go at the 2022 Asian Games – Men's team and Go at the 2022 Asian Games – Women's team pages, if you're so inclined to work on them. The games are happening about 14 hours ahead of me, so I might be slow to update them. Thanks! DyinRich (talk) 14:09, 28 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi DyinRich, thanks for the friendly message! I'm happy to see your contributions on these go articles. I haven't been following the team competitions in the rounds so far, but in a pinch we could copy (translate) from zh:2022年亞洲運動會圍棋比賽 or it:Go ai XIX Giochi asiatici – Maschile a squadre / it:Go ai XIX Giochi asiatici – Femminile a squadre.

		Hello! It may not be much, but thank you for finding Phyllis Gomda Hsi's Chinese name in the collapsed infobox. While it did get pointed out at the RFD discussion that Xi Mude was the Chinese name, you were a big help in finding it on the page and thusly justifying the redirect's existence. I didn't notice that spelling at all when I went by, and did a number of different searches to figure it out; yet, no luck. Thank you for sleuthing out that situation to help save a page!

@Adumbrativus You can please check the move request. At page Maitraka time of seven days is completed, but any action has not yet been taken by any page mover. Would you like to see the request if possible.?103.138.222.164 (talk) 17:35, 24 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, it hasn't yet been a full seven days (168 hours). (Sorry about sounding so bureaucratic!) Also, in ordinary circumstances there's no need to reach out to any individual editor seeking that a requested move be closed, as there are many editors who review the backlog. I'll decline to take action at this time. I wish you the best! Adumbrativus (talk) 18:36, 24 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hey there! This is to let you know that phase I of the 2024 requests for adminship (RfA) review is now no longer accepting new proposals. Lots of proposals remain open for discussion, and the current round of review looks to be on a good track towards making significant progress towards improving RfA's structure and environment. I'd like to give my heartfelt thanks to everyone who has given us their idea for change to make RfA better, and the same to everyone who has given the necessary feedback to improve those ideas. The following proposals remain open for discussion:

• Proposal 2, initiated by HouseBlaster, provides for the addition of a text box at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship reminding all editors of our policies and enforcement mechanisms around decorum.
• Proposals 3 and 3b, initiated by Barkeep49 and Usedtobecool, respectively, provide for trials of discussion-only periods at RfA. The first would add three extra discussion-only days to the beginning, while the second would convert the first two days to discussion-only.
• Proposal 5, initiated by SilkTork, provides for a trial of RfAs without threaded discussion in the voting sections.
• Proposals 6c and 6d, initiated by BilledMammal, provide for allowing users to be selected as provisional admins for a limited time through various concrete selection criteria and smaller-scale vetting.
• Proposal 7, initiated by Lee Vilenski, provides for the "General discussion" section being broken up with section headings.
• Proposal 9b, initiated by Reaper Eternal, provides for the requirement that allegations of policy violation be substantiated with appropriate links to where the alleged misconduct occured.
• Proposals 12c, 21, and 21b, initiated by City of Silver, Ritchie333, and HouseBlaster, respectively, provide for reducing the discretionary zone, which currently extends from 65% to 75%. The first would reduce it 65%–70%, the second would reduce it to 50%–66%, and the third would reduce it to 60%–70%.
• Proposal 13, initiated by Novem Lingaue, provides for periodic, privately balloted admin elections.
• Proposal 14, initiated by Kusma, provides for the creation of some minimum suffrage requirements to cast a vote.
• Proposals 16 and 16c, initiated by Thebiguglyalien and Soni, respectively, provide for community-based admin desysop procedures. 16 would desysop where consensus is established in favor at the administrators' noticeboard; 16c would allow a petition to force reconfirmation.
• Proposal 16e, initiated by BilledMammal, would extend the recall procedures of 16 to bureaucrats.
• Proposal 17, initiated by SchroCat, provides for "on-call" admins and 'crats to monitor RfAs for decorum.
• Proposal 18, initiated by theleekycauldron, provides for lowering the RfB target from 85% to 75%.
• Proposal 24, initiated by SportingFlyer, provides for a more robust alternate version of the optional candidate poll.
• Proposal 25, initiated by Femke, provides for the requirement that nominees be extended-confirmed in addition to their nominators.
• Proposal 27, initiated by WereSpielChequers, provides for the creation of a training course for admin hopefuls, as well as periodic retraining to keep admins from drifting out of sync with community norms.
• Proposal 28, initiated by HouseBlaster, tightens restrictions on multi-part questions.

To read proposals that were closed as unsuccessful, please see Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review/Phase I/Closed proposals. You are cordially invited once again to participate in the open discussions; when phase I ends, phase II will review the outcomes of trial proposals and refine the implementation details of other proposals. Another notification will be sent out when this phase begins, likely with the first successful close of a major proposal. Happy editing! theleekycauldron (talk • she/her), via:

Hi there! Phase I of the Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review has concluded, with several impactful changes gaining community consensus and proceeding to various stages of implementation. Some proposals will be implemented in full outright; others will be discussed at phase II before being implemented; and still others will proceed on a trial basis before being brought to phase II. The following proposals have gained consensus:

• Proposals 2 and 9b (phase II discussion): Add a reminder of civility norms at RfA and Require links for claims of specific policy violations
• Proposal 3b (in trial): Make the first two days discussion-only
• Proposal 13 (in trial): Admin elections
• Proposal 14 (implemented): Suffrage requirements
• Proposals 16 and 16c (phase II discussion): Allow the community to initiate recall RfAs and Community recall process based on dewiki
• Proposal 17 (phase II discussion): Have named Admins/crats to monitor infractions
• Proposal 24 (phase II discussion): Provide better mentoring for becoming an admin and the RfA process
• Proposal 25 (implemented): Require nominees to be extended confirmed

See the project page for a full list of proposals and their outcomes. A huge thank-you to everyone who has participated so far :) looking forward to seeing lots of hard work become a reality in phase II. theleekycauldron (talk), via MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 08:08, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on Kyle McCord (disambiguation) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G14 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a disambiguation page which either

• disambiguates only one extant Wikipedia page and whose title ends in "(disambiguation)" (i.e., there is a primary topic);
• disambiguates zero extant Wikipedia pages, regardless of its title; or
• is an orphaned redirect with a title ending in "(disambiguation)" that does not target a disambiguation page or page that has a disambiguation-like function.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time. Please see the disambiguation page guidelines for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and removing the speedy deletion tag. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 12:04, 22 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. You said there was no consensus over moving Steve Miller (author) → Steve Miller (author, born 1967). However, note that we also have Steve Miller (science fiction writer). This is very clearly ambiguous, as "author" and "writer" mean exactly the same thing, and therefore needs disambiguating by any Wikipedia standard. This does not seem to have been picked up on by the opposers, who only focused on Stephen Miller (writer). Therefore, I think there was a consensus to move this article, and one was probably not needed in any case given the clear ambiguity. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:34, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, Necrothesp, I've made the change. I agree that the opposition was around whether there was enough ambiguity between this Steve Miller and Stephen Miller (writer), which distracted me from the argument of ambiguity between this Steve Miller and other Steve Millers. Sorry about the confusion and I hope the result is satisfactory now. Adumbrativus (talk) 07:30, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
