:Happy to help! Paine  20:58, 13 April 2025 (UTC)

Hi, I appreciate your help on this template. There hasn't been any movement regarding the next set of changes I suggested, so I was wondering if either you can implement them or contact the other reviewer. I had poked him as well a few days ago, but still nothing, and I just don't want to lose momentum as I know these suggested template changes can sometimes get lost along the way. poketape (talk) 18:10, 17 April 2025 (UTC)

:Hi editor {{u|Poketape}}, the sandbox edits have been made to the live template. Let me know if anything else is needed. And thank you for coming to my talk page! P.I. Ellsworth , ed. ^{put'er there} 06:45, 22 April 2025 (UTC)

Hi @Paine Ellsworthh,

May you please look at the request at Template talk:Australian party style - Wikipedia? I see you have been previously accepting requests. Thank you NoBudee (talk) 14:49, 20 April 2025 (UTC)

:Hi editor {{u|NoBudee}}, and thank you for coming to my talk page! Has this been completed? I was unable to find an edit request for 21 April 2025. Let me know if further help is needed. P.I. Ellsworth , ed. ^{put'er there} 06:52, 22 April 2025 (UTC)

::Hi editor Paine,

::Thanks for the reply. It has been completed but was reverted, you can see the discussion at Template talk:Australian politics/party colours#Color for Australian Citizens Party Thanks. NoBudee (talk) 06:55, 22 April 2025 (UTC)

:::Pleasure! We'll see how the discussion goes, then. Thanks again! P.I. Ellsworth , ed. ^{put'er there} 07:15, 22 April 2025 (UTC)

::::Hi Paine,

::::I was wondering if you could check out the discussion on the Australian Citizens Party talk page? I disputed the NPOV of the article due to what seems to be historical bias, there is an active discussion happening on the talk page. I don't know how interested you would be in the topic, but I am trying to get help from people who would be more neutral/without an interest. I don't really know who else to ask on Wikipedia. Thank you. NoBudee (talk) 00:48, 23 April 2025 (UTC)

:::::Thank you for asking, editor {{u|NoBudee}}! I don't know much about this subject, so I hesitate to enter a conversation like that without knowing enough to be helpful. Hopefully, you and the other involved editors will be able to resolve your disagreement. Wish you all the best, and thanks again! P.I. Ellsworth , ed. ^{put'er there} 02:15, 26 April 2025 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on :Template:Lucasfilm/doc requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

{{tl|Db-t5}}

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, pages that meet certain criteria may be deleted at any time.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the {{Querylink|Special:Log|qs=type=delete&page=Template%3ALucasfilm%2Fdoc|deleting administrator}}, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. – Jonesey95 (talk) 14:12, 22 April 2025 (UTC)

Would you mind helped us to close the most recent requested move in Talk:2025 CONCACAF Women's U-17 Championship.

Thank you so much! Rey1996ss (talk) 21:27, 22 April 2025 (UTC)

:{{to|Rey1996ss}} at this point there appears to be a consensus to move the article to the proposed title. I would be happy to close the request; however, since I closed the previous RM from February, it is common practice for a different uninvolved editor to close an RM on the same talk page. That is so there is not even the appearance of involvement on the part of the closer. Thank you very much for coming to my talk page! P.I. Ellsworth , ed. ^{put'er there} 02:08, 26 April 2025 (UTC)

::Perfect, I agree!

Good day! Thank you for your edit here

[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia%3AClosure_requests&oldid=prev&diff=1287422572]. I have a topic ban that prohibits me from using the initiated template. I have asked to get parts of my topic ban repealed, but was not successful. --Jax 0677 (talk) 09:41, 26 April 2025 (UTC)

:Very sorry to hear that, editor {{u|Jax 0677}}; let me know if there is anything I can do to help. I had no idea, so thank you for letting me know! P.I. Ellsworth , ed. ^{put'er there} 13:23, 26 April 2025 (UTC)

::On or after August 4, 2025, I plan to appeal to be allowed to use {{tl|histmerge}} so that I can have a history merge performed on some articles. Here is the link to my request for a revision to my topic ban. Thanks! --Jax 0677 (talk) 23:08, 27 April 2025 (UTC)

:::Happy to help! Paine  15:33, 28 April 2025 (UTC)

The non-admin closer was trying to relist the RM b/c it was closed prematurely, but the moves had been performed already per a technical request. Srnec (talk) 19:11, 3 May 2025 (UTC)

:Noted and thank you very much, editor {{u|Srnec}}! P.I. Ellsworth , ed. ^{put'er there} 22:11, 3 May 2025 (UTC)

::The discussion on this is at User talk:Extorc#Requested moves. Basicaly, several users, Srnec and me included, challenged Extorc's closures as bad NACs, and he agreed to re-open the discussion, though without the rights wasn't able to restore the pages to where they were before. I take it that your affirmative close means that your assessment of the discussion (as a page mover) agrees that there was consensus to move? --Paul_012 (talk) 18:56, 4 May 2025 (UTC)

:::Yes, that's correct, and thank you also for coming to my talk page! There are three supporting (including the nom), two of which are strong, policy-based args, and one opposing who did not appear to cite policy that supported their stance of "Country and numeral belong together like first and last names." So yes, there is consensus to move, the original closure was reasonable and followed the directions of the closing instructions – uhm, well, for the most part. Is there something you think I missed? P.I. Ellsworth , ed. ^{put'er there} 19:13, 4 May 2025 (UTC)

::::Thanks. It's just that to me the closing summary seemed to describe the move as a fait accompli and didn't quite make clear whose judgement was being exercised in the consensus assessment (i.e. who to talk to in case of dispute). --Paul_012 (talk) 11:33, 5 May 2025 (UTC)

:::::That's certainly understandable – for the most part that was a procedural close as a courtesy to the nom (and to the RMCD bot, which was listing the RM as a "malformed request"). The bot noticed that all the previously current titles had been turned into redirects, so the request was probably "in the process of closing" (redirects cannot be current titles in move requests). I waited a while to see if the page mover would handle the closure, but he didn't, so I went ahead with it. You did the right thing, though, in coming to me, because the closer of the request should always be the first stop. From here we can make contact with any other editor(s) that might be needed to help handle any dispute that arises. Thanks again! P.I. Ellsworth , ed. ^{put'er there} 16:16, 5 May 2025 (UTC)

Regarding:

• https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Closure_requests&diff=prev&oldid=1288682852

The last I knew, "deletion" and "discussion" are not synonyms. Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion are not deletion discussions unless that is the outcome. This is about finding the best target for a redirect, not about deleting it.

• "Items usually stay listed for a week or so, after which they are deleted, kept, or retargeted."

Am I missing something here? You should just create a section #Redirects for discussion. -- Valjean (talk) (PING me) 15:37, 4 May 2025 (UTC)

: By chance I just noticed your comment to me [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Closure_requests&diff=prev&oldid=1288684464 here]. The ping did not work. I'd still like clarification about the difference between an XfD and a Redirect for discussion. -- Valjean (talk) (PING me) 15:55, 4 May 2025 (UTC)

::{{to|Valjean}} most of the time those pings do work, but evidently not always. The "Deletion discussions" is a throwback to those days long ago when RfD stood for "Redirects for deletion", which was the original reason for taking a redirect to RfD. Back then, all XfDs stood for "X (something) for deletion". Then, as you know, RfD was changed to "Redirects for discussion" as were all XfDs, which were changed to "X for discussion". Since the Closure requests page is controlled by a bot, I guess nobody wanted to mess with that somewhat quirky bot, so the section subheader was never changed. Nevertheless, all XfD listings go into that section. Put them in the "Other..." section and that will cause confusion, chaos, the bitter end of the world. And you don't want to do that, do you? « grin » P.I. Ellsworth , ed. ^{put'er there} 18:13, 4 May 2025 (UTC)

::PS. Thank you very much for coming to my talk page! P.I. Ellsworth , ed. ^{put'er there} 18:16, 4 May 2025 (UTC)

::: Thanks for the explanation. I don't use that page very often. Keep up the good work. -- Valjean (talk) (PING me) 22:35, 4 May 2025 (UTC)

• 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.

Hi! You made an edit at Talk:Swiss Challenge League [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk%3ASwiss_Challenge_League&diff=1290818398&oldid=1290763933 here] for an RMCD fix. The bot has not removed it from all listed pages, should I do it manually or is there an error? Yoblyblob (Talk) :) 00:16, 19 May 2025 (UTC)

:Ignore this. The bot was not undoing my edits so I just did it all manually Yoblyblob (Talk) :) 01:16, 19 May 2025 (UTC)

:Hi editor {{u|Yoblyblob}} and thank you for coming to my talk page! What happened was that when you withdrew and closed that formal move request, the {{tl|Requested move/dated}} template was still in the request. If that template and all its contents aren't removed, then the RMCD bot sees it as a "malformed request". I monitor those and that's how I came across the request. Thanks again!
