My name is John Henderson. I live in Madison Mississipi USA. I have learned from a relative that we can trace our ancestors back to Henderson / Fordell Castle. Is it possible to tour the grounds or the interior of the castle?162.234.135.110 (talk) 15:58, 10 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Don't know anything about it. —innotata 16:13, 6 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Why did you move this against the conclusion of a very recent RM discussion on the talk page? Johnbod (talk) 13:43, 24 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

There was a requested move at another page, for which a notification was posted by bot on the talk page of the article; nobody objected to any of the moves a week after relisting. —innotata 16:11, 24 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm not sure why you reverted my revert. The 1861 date is wrong, I've addressed the issue on the Southern United States talk page. I will change it back to 1863, for the reasons I've stated on the talk page. Thanks.Dubyavee (talk) 22:40, 6 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding your decision not to move the article:

“

This looks like the name predominately used by tertiary sources in English. He wasn't really 'Persian', and mostly wrote in Arabic (cf. Frédéric Chopin and Joseph Conrad), so I'm not seeing any kind of case for changing the article's name.

”

• He self-identified as Persian in his writing (in his The Remaining Signs of Past Centuries). Even granted that he was not a "Persian", in his native Chorasmian (a close relative of Persian) his name is still "Biruni" NOT "al-Biruni". The term itself is Persian. Even if you disagree with a move, his native name must be included in the lede, currently there is none.

• The next point has no bearing on his name. Otherwise we must move Isaac Newton to Isaacus Newtonus and Carl Friedrich Gauss to Carolus Fridericus Gauss, since they mostly published in Latin.

Encyclopaedia Iranica (Yarshater 1982— ) uses Biruni, and it is the most exhaustive source in English dealing with Iranian languages, history, and cultures, past and present. Grinevitski (talk) 00:55, 15 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Innotata: You seem like an experienced editor who would provide some action on the currently stalemate AfD discussion linked in the title. Please could you have a look over there when you're free and provide an opinion on if or not the article should be deleted. Thanks :)  ' Olowe2011 ^Talk 06:31, 18 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You tagged File:Namaste india.png with CSD F8. I would like to know, what made you to so ?— CutestPenguin^Hangout 12:04, 21 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Would be appreciated if you can move Grass spider to and over the redirect Agelenopsis, as it would make room for a disambiguation page for Grass spider. JMK (talk) 06:55, 7 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@JMK: I'm not an admin so I can't do that. Please make a request at WP:Requested moves. —innotata 18:01, 7 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I made the map, from the data which was available on source site. I just need to put {{CC BY-SA |migration=relicense}} in the licensing part ? --Čeha (razgovor) 21:42, 12 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Ceha: If it's your work, you should just add some statement explaining that (since the given license is fine). —innotata 21:47, 12 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
