User talk:CambridgeBayWeather#Very persistent IP-hopping vandal

Hello, CambridgeBayWeather,

I was looking at the Deletion Log and saw you took care of a lot of files labeled CSD F8, or ones that were sitting in categories in :Category:Wikipedia files with the same name on Wikimedia Commons. I don't work much with files and am frankly intimidated by the list of factors that the instructions say one needs to check before deleting a file for really any speedy deletion criteria. And yet, I frequently see bulk deletion of these files by different administrators. Am I taking the instructions too literally or do admins actually perform these thorough checks before carrying out deletion? Since I review the log, it's a question I've had for a while and since you just cleaned out these categories, I'm hoping you can fill me in on the process.

Many thanks and I hope 2024 is starting off well for you! Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 23:03, 9 January 2024 (UTC)

:For the Category:Wikipedia files with the same name on Wikimedia Commons I open the file on here and quickly check it out and remember to scroll down the page to see the information. If it's user uploaded then easy enough. Just make sure it's on Commons and has the same tags as here and shows the same uploader.

:If it's a file like :File:TheKominskyMethod.png that relies on being simple enough to not be copyrighted I look to see if another editor has reviewed it. If so then just make sure it's on Commons and has the same tags as here and shows the same uploader. If it hasn't been reviewed then you need to check it out. There were a bunch of Lego files that I had to double check earlier. The :File:LEGO logo.svg is OK on Commons but I also had to check that :File:Indiana Jones logo.svg was OK before I deleted the local :File:Lego Indiana Jones logo.png.

:With different names on Commons you have to check and see if the local file is being used and if it is then do [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Victorian_Scottish_Regiment&diff=prev&oldid=1194619586 this]. But it's the same process.

:The first few times I did this it did take much longer, and I found it intimidating, but after a while you can quickly see if there are differences in the pages. The main thing is if you make a mistake don't dig your heels in and everything can be reversed.

:Happy New Year. CambridgeBayWeather (solidly non-human), Uqaqtuq (talk), Huliva 23:31, 9 January 2024 (UTC)

::Thanks for the information. I have my plate full of tasks I handle so I doubt that I will do any work with files but it's nice to know how to proceed.

::I noticed that the latest category, :Category:Wikipedia files with the same name on Wikimedia Commons as of 12 January 2024 has a huge number of files if you are looking for a project to take on. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 23:18, 12 January 2024 (UTC)

Hi,

The Wikipedia page of Ashok Swain might benefit from protection. I raised a request and it appears the response was a 'd.' Maybe that means it was 'denied.'

Can you take a look at the page history where one editor seems to be persistent one single point. Seems like vandalism.

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ashok_Swain&action=history AltruisticHomoSapien (talk) 18:15, 10 February 2024 (UTC)

:If you look at [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Requests_for_page_protection/Increase&diff=next&oldid=1204860847 this] it's quite obvious that it was declined because it's a content dispute and not vandalism. {{u|Dennis Brown}} didn't respond with "d" in either his reply, only in the edit summary. You should read replies rather than relying on edit summaries. I'm not protecting it either. CambridgeBayWeather (solidly non-human), Uqaqtuq (talk), Huliva 15:41, 11 February 2024 (UTC)

The reason I am making this request here is that I came across Diana Buttu's page.

From 1928 to 1942 there were two airlines, *BOTH* called Canadian Colonial Airways. One was American - the parent. The other was Canadian, the 100% subsidiary.

Yes, the US corporation, a US airline, was confusing called Canadian Colonial Airways, Inc. The Canadian was the same name, except "Limited" rather than "Incorporated".

In 1942 two things happened - the Canadian version died and the US version was renamed Colonial Airlines.

In the official record, the Canadian company is distinguished by being called "Limited".

I was in the middle of adding references when you moved "Canadian Colonial Airways, Limited" to "Canadian Colonial Airways". But that is not where it should be located. "Canadian Colonial Airways", despite the name, the more prominent of the two related companies was the American version, which survived until 1956 under the name (from 1942) of "Colonial Airlines".

Yes, this is confusing. But the historical record is clear.

So, "Canadian Colonial Airways" properly should be a redirect to "Colonial Airlines". There should be a separate article for the Canadian version of the company. I am open to suggestions to what to call the article that refers to the Canadian version of the company, but "Canadian Colonial Airways" needs to point to "Colonial Airlines".

So, when I tried saving the references, it told me you had moved the article. I saved over the article, which is probably not the right thing to do, but I didn't want to lose my work. Enplaned (talk) 18:57, 13 May 2024 (UTC)

:Then the Canadian version should have moved to Canadian Colonial Airways (Canada) (and I can move it there), which is the standard naming convention. Wikipedia does not normally us things like "limited" or "incorporated" (or their contractions) to disambiguate between companies. CambridgeBayWeather (solidly non-human), Uqaqtuq (talk), Huliva 19:11, 13 May 2024 (UTC)

::I would appreciate that. Thank you.

::"Canadian Colonial Airways, Limited" should then be deleted - no need for it.

::"Canadian Colonial Airways" should redirect to "Colonial Airlines"

::FYI, there is also a "Colonial Airlines (Canada)" article that I have put a deletion notice on. There never was such an airline, and the article is an incomplete duplicate of the article for "Colonial Airlines". The small amount of info in the "Colonial Airlines (Canada)" article is nonsensical.

::Thank you again Enplaned (talk) 19:29, 13 May 2024 (UTC)

:::OK. It's done. If Canadian Colonial Airways, Limited is how sources refer to it then it works as a valid redirect. You might wan't to check [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:WhatLinksHere/Canadian_Colonial_Airways&limit=500 Pages that link to "Canadian Colonial Airways"] to see which should be changed to Canadian Colonial Airways (Canada) and which should link to the US article.

Hi CBW. Since you did a lot of work on Canadian airports, I have to ask you about Mingan Airport. There is no info at all about this airport, nothing in List of airports in Canada, nor in List of defunct airports in Canada. According to List of airports by IATA airport code: Y, it had the YLP and CYLP codes, and photos on Commons confirm that it existed (see :Commons:Category:Longue-Pointe-de-Mingan). What's going on here? Did it have another name? Very peculiar, considering how complete airport info is on WP. Thanks for any info. -- P 1 9 9  ✉ 02:56, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

:It was added by {{u|Zyxw}} way back [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_airports_by_IATA_airport_code%3A_Y&diff=380707724&oldid=380672201 here] I looked in the Canada Flight Supplement and there is no listing for CYLP or Mingan in either the current or abandoned sections. I checked https://plan.navcanada.ca/wxrecall/ and typing in CYLP gives and error messages. Searching just shows the [https://duckduckgo.com/?t=palemoon&q=Mingan+Airport&ia=web usual spam]. Flightradar24 can't find the airport.

:I finally went to the Mingan article and followed the coordinates. Take a look at {{coord|50|17|05.66|N|64|08|41.18|W|region:CA-QC_type:airport|name=Mingan Airport}} and there is the hanger in the pictures. The taxiway is visible and so are two runways. One is 12/30 and the other is 06/24. There are some buildings to the east of the hanger and the one with the blue roof looks to have a couple of vehicles outside. However, I suspect that it is a long abandoned aerodrome. But not so old as to appear on the List of British Commonwealth Air Training Plan facilities in Canada. CambridgeBayWeather (solidly non-human), Uqaqtuq (talk), Huliva 13:28, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

::Yes, I figured it is abandoned, but judging from the state of the buildings, not abandoned extremely long ago (unless the buildings were maintained for other purposes). Regardless, WP info on abandoned airports is also fairly extensive, but strangely, missing any info on this one. So, its code was probably not YLP/CYLP, and likely, it operated under a name we don't know. How can we find out? -- P 1 9 9  ✉ 18:07, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

:::I suspect that it was abandoned before 2005 as that when I joined Wikipedia. If it was in the current section of the CFS I would have added it in 2005 / 2006. {{u|Ahunt}} may have some ideas. CambridgeBayWeather (solidly non-human), Uqaqtuq (talk), Huliva 18:23, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

The YLP code still shows as Mingan Airport on the IATA website ([https://www.iata.org/en/publications/directories/code-search?airport.search=YLP]). So the code is valid.

Hello CambridgeBayWeather! You have reverted the move of Dea Matrona (mythology) back to Dea Matrona. I've made this diambiguation as I think it's necessary in order not to be confused with the rock band of the same name - Dea Matrona (band).

Could you please explain the reasoning behind this revert? I've seen much confusion between fans of the band on this. If I made some mistake in the diambiguation word, I'd appreciate if you'd let me know.

Thanks in advance and have a good day! Fjrbaeta (talk) 14:59, 8 June 2024 (UTC)

:If Dea Matrona is a redirect to Dea Matrona (mythology) then it is obvious that it's the primary article. If people looking for the band are typing in Dea Matrona then they are still ending up at the goddess so nothing is gained. The hat not at the top of the page is sufficient. CambridgeBayWeather (solidly non-human), Uqaqtuq (talk), Huliva 15:13, 10 June 2024 (UTC)

::Hi. I disambiguated Dea Matrona to Dea Matrona (mythology) precisely to solve the problem of the main article, which according to Wikipedia standards shouldn't exist if two pages have the same topic name. Just the name change and redirect help avoid some confusion even if just of people who mistakingly end up on the mythology page.

::What you may argue is that the main page should instead be an exclusive disambiguation page with links to both the mythology and the rock band. If this specific case warrants such a solution, I'll be happy to create the disambiguation page and perform the moves, but in my opinion, reverting the move does not solve anything.

::That being said, should I create an exclusive disambiguation page for Dea Matrona in this case? Fjrbaeta (talk) 22:39, 10 June 2024 (UTC)

:::Having looked at the page views ([https://pageviews.wmcloud.org/?project=en.wikipedia.org&platform=all-access&agent=user&redirects=0&range=latest-20&pages=Dea_Matrona Matrona] and [https://pageviews.wmcloud.org/?project=en.wikipedia.org&platform=all-access&agent=user&redirects=0&range=latest-20&pages=Dea_Matrona_(band) Dea Matrona (band)]) I think it could be argued that the band should occupy the undisambiguated title. Especially as some of the people who landed on the Dea Matrona page were really looking for the band.

:::I would suggest that you open a discussion at Talk:Dea Matrona (band) about moving it to Dea Matrona and Dea Matrona to the (mythology) disambiguation. See Wikipedia:Requested moves/Controversial for the instructions and there is a section Wikipedia:Requested moves/Controversial#Requesting multiple page moves.

::::Hi. I agree with the decision of moving Dea Matrona (band) to the disambiguated title, was not aware of the difference in page views. I have added the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Dea%20Matrona%20(band) topic] to the Dea Matrona (band) talk page and will wait for objections before going ahead with the page moves.

I see your user name in this topic but I noticed that the (admittedly a bit debatable) page for Canadian Inuit now has NunatuKavuy individuals listed while people like John Amagoalik and Lori Idlout are not present. I don’t know all the Wiki-ins and outs and you are very much the old timer in Wikipedia for Nunavut - so what is your advice, should I venture into some edits here or is the battleground too technical. In the past when I attempted I seem to have achieved very little and been put on blast by people with technical Wiki knowledge I wasnt able to match. Northfolk (talk) 21:06, 9 July 2024 (UTC)

After restoring a lot of deleted text (that an editor deleted because lacking citations) together with citations (that editor deleted first as not reliable), I was tired and just copy pasted several short paragraps from a source to literal blockquotes, because I didn't know how to rephrase without loosing meaning or bloating the contents in to many words. I tried first, but gave up and did a limited copy pasting to quotes. Thank you very much for fixing my mess by rephrasing that well.

What I intend when I find time next at the comp is to try to find other sources for inline citations, so the article wouldn't be to heavily single source dependent as it might seem at the moment, and get hit by another deletion run. For international use of Air Tractors, I intend to add citations about firefighting use of Air Tractors in several countries in Europe to the talk page first. That would probably also help fix the supposed lack of notability problem. Marjan Tomki SI (talk) 19:53, 6 September 2024 (UTC)

I have noted that the coordinates given in the Geographical Names Data Base are often erroneous.

Hello, I noticed you recently edited Template:Infobox airline. However, one part of your edit made one of the displayed field names untidy. Can you please add an additional pipe separator for 'Parent company'. Also, can you please change the displayed field name of 'Callsign' to 'call sign' (it is two separate words according to Cambridge Dictionary, and other dictionaries, and is not a proper noun, so no need to capitalise its first letter) - this specific change will then match the displayed output for Template:Airline codes. Thanks and best regards. Militum professio scriniarii (talk) 01:06, 30 September 2024 (UTC)

:It looks like I screwed up with the parent company pipe. I also changed "Callsign" to "Call sign". and changed the link to Aviation call signs#Commercial airline as it seems the best of the three possibilities. Airline codes#Call signs (flight identification or flight ID) and Aircraft registration are the other two. I see that it was originally one word, and is sometimes given as a synonym, the major use is two words. While it's not a proper noun I believe that a capital is warranted. It is operating as the first word in a sentence and as such should be capitalised. Cheers. CambridgeBayWeather (solidly non-human), Uqaqtuq (talk), Huliva 16:06, 30 September 2024 (UTC)

::To make mistakes is a fundament of being a human!!! Thank you for your prompt change. Best regards. Militum professio scriniarii (talk) 23:56, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

Please could you restore this and let the RfD discussion take its course. Neither being derogatory nor not being mentioned in the current target are, in and of themselves, violations of BLP - especially when we do have directly relevant content elsewhere (that multiple people proposed to retarget to). If it were actually an actionable BLP issue there would not have been multiple comments in favour of not deleting it, and some of those who do favour deletion would have mentioned it. Thryduulf (talk) 19:46, 12 October 2024 (UTC)

Hello,

The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Wikipedia, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this [https://wikimediafoundation.limesurvey.net/294789?lang=en anonymous survey].

You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.

The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement .

Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.

:I just realised that I have been sent this message three times now. Once by email that I followed up on, once on the Spanish Wikipedia (a language I don't speak and I am not and admin on), and here. CambridgeBayWeather (solidly non-human), Uqaqtuq (talk), Huliva 00:38, 28 October 2024 (UTC)

Hello,

You have been contacted requesting help to remove content from Whigfield. The Page has been "extended protected" by a user, in order to not have the content restored. The information that has been removed is relevant and is included in other Wikipedia articles and other language versions of the Page. Previously, COI has been reported, and many removals of information have happened. Therefore, I think that this particular protection is ill-intentioned and I believe that the erased content should be restored before protecting the Page, in order to include the relevant information, improve the article and avoid censorship motivated by COI.

Thank you, Fixfxx (talk) 23:32, 27 October 2024 (UTC)

::Hello CambridgeBayWeather,

::As we have discussed on the other two threads, I apologise for adding content to your Talk section. My intention was good, but because of your harsh reactions, I thought that it bothered you, and that is why I removed it. I thought it would be worth explaining.

::Have a nice day. Fixfxx (talk) 00:43, 28 October 2024 (UTC)

Hi CambridgeBayWeather, I am curious why Talk:TRP Scam was speedily deleted on CSD - G6 grounds (Housekeeping and routine (non-controversial) cleanup), when you moved TRP Scam to TRP scam? Surely, a talk page should follow its article page and not be deleted as a result of page moves. I note that Talk:TRP scam and Talk:Republic TV TRP manipulation scam were both deleted by Liz less than 2 hours later and justified on CSD - G8 (Redirect to a deleted or non-existent page) grounds, so it appears that there was a blocking redirect at Talk:TRP scam at the time of your page move which would have prevented the talk page being moved at the same time. Was the wrong talk page deleted due to a difference in capitalisation? And, as a result, all 3 talk pages have now been deleted. Can the article's talk page be reinstated and moved to the correct capitalisation? I would prefer that to happen rather than recreating the talk page with new WikiProject banners, because I probably would be guessing, and that would prevent the other content on the talk page being recovered, too. The Crime-related articles by quality log for January 12, 2025 shows the article was renamed, but it doesn't show that the renamed article was assessed under its changed name. This tells me the WikiProject Crime banner, at least, has been deleted. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 03:00, 12 January 2025 (UTC)

Hello, regarding this edit [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Commercial_director&diff=prev&oldid=1269268132], may I ask if this article is about commercial directors in all fields or only in the field of filmmaking?

With a small search, it is clear that in many companies this title is applied to the managers of the commercial department. FactFinder1402 (talk) 08:55, 14 January 2025 (UTC)

:If there are multiple articles about any other type of commercial director then a disambiguation can be added as necessary. However, in this case Wikipedia:Article titles applies. CambridgeBayWeather (solidly non-human), Uqaqtuq (talk), Huliva 16:38, 14 January 2025 (UTC)

::Yes, there is an article on this topic, Chief Commercial Officer is another name for Commercial Director.

::I wanted to convert the commercial director's page into a disambiguation, but I noticed that you reverted it to the previous name. FactFinder1402 (talk) 17:08, 14 January 2025 (UTC)

:::A disambiguation to what pages? When I saw it Commercial director was just a redirect to Commercial director (filmmaking).

You are a member of project Aviation; would you be so kind to take a look at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Brasher warning? Will this always stay a dictionary definition or is it possible to write an article about this topic (possibly under pilot deviation). Thanks, Polygnotus (talk) 13:13, 24 January 2025 (UTC)

Hi, this user {{ping|RHG.FATİH}} is constantly vandalizing the article "List of footballers with the most goals in a single game", despite the constant warnings and alerts on his talk page. I submitted a request to block him but I didn't get a response. Could you please block him from editing? Mishary94 (talk) 22:01, 12 February 2025 (UTC)

:Blocked for 48 hours from that page. CambridgeBayWeather (solidly non-human), Uqaqtuq (talk), Huliva 22:12, 12 February 2025 (UTC)

Hi Alan - I'm Amy Kenny, a Yukon-based writer with Up Here magazine. My editor caught wind of your wikipedia prowess and is interested in a story about you for an upcoming issue. I wonder if you'd be free to chat with me this week or next about the ins, outs, ups and downs of being a wiki editor? Thanks so much! Amy

I would like to please changing the article page name from 'Lacrima (company)' to 'Lacrima Dairy Industry Ltd.' because this is the official name of the company as per their website. I would appreciate it if the name could be updated accordingly.

as you can see here below :

:The company uses Lacrima or LÀCRIMA as can be seen on the official site at https://www.lacrimadairy.com/home. While the official name of the business may include Dairy Industry Ltd. Wikipedia:Naming conventions (companies) says to use the common name. Looking at the company site they only mention the word "dairy" once and "Industry" is not used at all.

The article :Mana Motuhake (disambiguation) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Disambiguation page not required (WP:ONEOTHER). Primary topic article has a hatnote to the only other use.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

The coordinate of this water aerodrome is very imprecise, and definitely wrong (85 km west of the community as the crow flies). Is there a way to look up old NavCan Water Aerodrome Supplement? OhanaUnited^{Talk page} 16:20, 30 March 2025 (UTC)

:Not that I know of. But List of airports in the Northwest Territories has what appears to be the correct coordinates and I've fixed it. CambridgeBayWeather (solidly non-human), Uqaqtuq (talk), Huliva 19:03, 30 March 2025 (UTC)

:Just noticed that the coordinates for Upminster Bridge tube station are off by about 150 m. It shows up southwest of the actual station. Hornchurch tube station is odd as the coordinates look OK but the Wikipedia article link appears 118 m south of the station down Sutton Lane. And I'm trying to find a place around Dudley where I lived about 60 years ago and is about 175 km northwest of Upminster Windmill. CambridgeBayWeather (solidly non-human), Uqaqtuq (talk), Huliva 19:50, 30 March 2025 (UTC)

Hi admin, I moved the page to Justifiable Defence (TV series) as, the same is a terminology in law/ legal. To avoid confusion and speedy search. Plus I'm not able to find the wiki page while on Google. SakuraSmart (talk) 15:59, 18 April 2025 (UTC)

:It was at Justifiable Defense (TV series) (US spelling) and I moved it to Justifiable Defense as per Wikipedia:Article titles. All other spellings and capitals, (defence / defense), Justifiable Defence (TV series), Justifiable defence, Justifiable defense and Justifiable Defence are all red links so no confusion. We shouldn't be creating article titles to favour one particular search engine. Byt the way putting "Justifiable defence" in the Wikipedia search bar immediately brings up Justifiable Defense even though it's a different spelling and lacks the capital. Cheers.

I may have mentioned this before, but the coordinates from the Geographical Names Data Base are often wildly wrong. As they are from a primary source, they may be challenged by any editor. Please refrain from changing the long-standing coordinates in articles without checking where they actually point. Abductive (reasoning) 18:26, 23 April 2025 (UTC)

:I take you are talking about Toronto and while the source may be primary at least I used a source. According to your helpful link above (Wikipedia:Verifiability#Responsibility for providing citations) that I or any other editor could remove the current coordinates as they were added without any source. Of course I'm not going to as I don't feel like being pointy.

:Now when I made that edit the coordinates pointed to Bloor Street but incorrectly used the Geographical Names Data Base as a source and didn't match. Using the Geographical Names Data Base puts it in Windfileds Park and the current coordinates are on List of east–west roads in Toronto#Adelaide Street. Of the three the sourced ones look more like the centre of the city rather than the southern edge that the other two are.

:Frankly if you are going to use an random place for the location then the Toronto City Hall would be a better location than a couple of streets. CambridgeBayWeather (solidly non-human), Uqaqtuq (talk), Huliva 19:41, 23 April 2025 (UTC)

::I put it to the little red dot that Google shows. The center of Toronto is the intersection of Bloor and Yonge, but I am trying to mollify another user who believes incorrectly that coordinates for cities should be much less precise. Abductive (reasoning) 21:13, 23 April 2025 (UTC)

:::Perhaps a larger discussion is needed at Wikipedia talk:Canadian Wikipedians' notice board as too the placement of coordinates and the what sources should be permitted. CambridgeBayWeather (solidly non-human), Uqaqtuq (talk), Huliva 21:20, 23 April 2025 (UTC)

::::I've fixed ten thousand or so coordinates, and the operational consensus is that these gov't databases are riddled with errors. The best are OSM, Google Maps, Bing Maps, with Yahoo Maps and Yandex Maps as tiebreakers/fallbacks. Abductive (reasoning) 00:30, 24 April 2025 (UTC)

Dear CambridgeBayWeather, I noticed you edited the Name of my artice Crossroads, County Donegal, but you never provided a reason or contacted me first. If your are to make any other major edits such as moving the article, please contact me first so I will dicide whats appropriate for the page and for google searchs.

Kind regards, Justin77. Justin799 (talk) 07:51, 25 April 2025 (UTC)

:No I won't be doing that. You need to read Wikipedia:Ownership of content and Wikipedia:Naming conventions (geographic names)#Disambiguation. The name should follow the standard naming conventions. Which is "Place name, County" in this case. See :Category:Towns and villages in County Donegal. CambridgeBayWeather (solidly non-human), Uqaqtuq (talk), Huliva 10:44, 25 April 2025 (UTC)

:::Fine with me. CambridgeBayWeather (solidly non-human), Uqaqtuq (talk), Huliva 11:37, 25 April 2025 (UTC)

::::Hello again, after a thorough analysis of the situation and a look at all the information you and others provided me, I dicided that the edits of the name you did were correct. I would also like to apologize on my behalf for treating the situation the way I did and for being little too passive agressive. I understand the Crossroads, County Donegal page was written by me but I don't have full ownership, I am still quite new and learning and I do apologize for saying anything that sounded rude. Also I'd like to add that the Crossroads, & Crossroads. titles were me trying to name the article with differece to other pages (without any viewer notice) and I was not trying to vandalise the page. I also execpt your apology on the 'move vandalisation' error and if you can remove that in any possible way, I would highly appreciate that, and then in a weeks time we can both come to dicide a neat/tidy, suitible and factual title. I have no problems with the 'Crossroads, County Donegal' title after my reading of the articles provided. I just belive it could be slighty tidier.

::::Over all, I thank you for your understanding and I one again apologize for anything harmfull I said in the complaint box earlier.

When I removed the protection I was assuming good faith on your part but you still seem to be exhibiting ownership. You should move it back so that it follows the naming convention and is the same as the others at :Category:Towns and villages in County Donegal.

• Following an RfC, administrator elections were permanently authorized on a five-month schedule. The next election will be scheduled soon; see Wikipedia talk:Administrator elections for more information. This is an alternate process to the RfA process and does not replace the latter.
• An RfC was closed with consensus to allow editors to opt-out of seeing "sticky decorative elements". Such elements should now be wrapped in {{t|sticky decoration wrapper}}. Editors who wish to opt out can follow the instructions at WP:STICKYDECO.
• An RfC has resulted in a broad prohibition on the use of AI-generated images in articles. A few common-sense exceptions are recognized.

Hello again, why did you move the article Carnowen, you told me last time that articles have to be geographical not generic. JJ549m (talk) 13:34, 8 May 2025 (UTC)

:If the name is unique or the main topic then it does not require a disambiguation. For example Paris in France is the main topic so there is no need for it to be at Paris, France (it's a redirect) but Paris, Maine isn't the main use of Paris and requires the disambiguation. Carnowen is unique on Wikipedia so it doesn't use a disambiguation while Crossroads has a large number of topics including multiple Crossroads#Places.
