Speedy deletion declined: Draft:Judo do
Hello Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Draft:Judo do, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Not a test page. Although the author is going about things the wrong way, and currently seems to have thrown his toys out of the pram, there is a possible subject here and he should be given the chance to develop it if he can. The earlier "hoax" deletions were because of claims that it was an Olympic sport, but this seems to be a real, though doubtfully notable, variant of Judo. JohnCD (talk) 21:40, 31 August 2015 (UTC)
Wiki Ed course pages
Hi there! I saw that you marked Wikipedia:Wiki Ed/North Dakota State University/PSYC 480 History and Systems of Psychology (Fall, 2015) for speedy deletion. I've undone this. That page is the on-wiki version of a course page for a course participating in Wiki Education Foundation's Classroom Program. Student editors in these classes are aware that their usernames and wiki activities are public, and we ask instructors to discuss with their students ahead of time the implication of choosing an identifiable or anonymous username. Thanks for looking out for malicious outing, though... it's definitely a problem in other contexts!--Sage (Wiki Ed) (talk) 16:03, 2 September 2015 (UTC)
Sometimes when you look at a case that has been archived but there's no archive link, it's because of the Wikipedia software. All you have to do is use the purge link in your interface if you have one, or use the key combination that does the same thing in your browser. At that point, the link should just pop in and it will look normal. If it doesn't, don't manually edit the page. Instead, let an SPI clerk know of the problem. Thanks.--Bbb23 (talk) 13:01, 5 September 2015 (UTC)
- Cheers User:Bbb23, I thought I was going mad! I'm sure it wasn't there when I posted that, and yet when I looked back through the history it was there all along! Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi 13:05, 5 September 2015 (UTC)

Hello, I noticed that you deleted my edit. It is just that the ref that is on Hillsborough's article is not only undated, It is also no longer on Sheffield City Councli's Website. Croydon173314 (talk) 15:12, 13 September 2015 (UTC)
I undid the page move as the reasoning behind it is a clear violation of Wikipedia's policy for no original research: regardless of whether she was legally entitled to it or not, she did use the title of "Princess" and it is definitely part of her common name. German (non-)royals are even still using it today.Cebr1979 (talk) 18:57, 6 September 2015 (UTC)

@Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi: Could you give Princess Johanna of Hesse and by Rhine a look over and add it to your watchlist? Paul Austin (talk) 15:45, 6 September 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks Paul, have done so; the article looks OK to me, or am I blindly missing something? -not an impossibility by any means! I will say that the '"Family curse" section seems not particularly relevant to her personally, but I wouldn't insist. Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi
- My concern is, that as a number of Wikipedians have pointed out, Germany legally abolished royal and noble titles and styles in 1919, the Grand Duchy of Hesse ceased to exist in 1918 and i doubt that the Hesse-Damstadt family would have provoked the known anti-monarchical Hitler by giving her an overt royal title. Paul Austin (talk) 16:00, 6 September 2015 (UTC)
- Good point. It's out of my period I'm afraid but it is rather obvious now you come to mention it. So it should be moved to simply Johanna of Hesse and by Rhine then? Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi 16:03, 6 September 2015 (UTC)
- I think it should. Feel free to move or edit or change. She was never a Princess of Hesse and by Rhine. This is a relic of monarchist fanboys editing Wikipedia. She was never Princess Johanna. Paul Austin (talk) 16:10, 6 September 2015 (UTC)
- Paul- that's done. I guess the monarchists will go mad, if there's any still around. Does this affect any other articles do you know? -I'd expect so, but wouldn't know where to start! Anyone alive after 1919??? Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi 16:20, 6 September 2015 (UTC)
- @Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi: from what i've seen, a lot of living German and Austrian members of former royal, grand ducal and princely families have Wikipedia articles calling them by titles which ceased to exist after WWI. Again, monarchists at work. Both Germany and Austria have not had royal and noble titles since c. 1919. Paul Austin (talk) 16:32, 6 September 2015 (UTC)

Hi there Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi. Thanks for your work patrolling. Please don't use the vandalism template for edits that are not vandalism, like you did here.

Hi - looks like you are very quick off the mark! You undid some of my work while I was still adding information, and then you undid some more of it while I was hunting down a reliable reference. A bit more patience would have saved us both a bit of time and effort. I've added three reliable sources to the Tottenham link now - they're everywhere, and it would have been far easier to check that rather than risking an edit war. I can add more if you like. Next time, waiting more than a handful of minutes before reverting would be advisable, and refraining from shouting would be nice. PS - did you really think that someone could confuse the Tottenham Marshes and Welsh Marches? Grutness...wha? 00:50, 25 September 2015 (UTC)

Look, could I recommend you pleaee start acting a bit like a serious user? Suggesting others to mail their colon is not particularly serious, nor is suggesting that anyone who reported your disruptive buddy be banned just because, well, because you want them to be banned. It becomes especially ridiculous when you want to ban users for a month just for having posted in an ANI discussion where you yourself has posted more frequently than some of them.

- If you have investigated your case against FLCC and presented it as thoroughly as you presented that one, you'd be begging for an award of punishment :D you've randomly found a diff without having a clue about context. A word of advice: that way ^ the boomerangs fly :D ciao Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi 15:41, 18 January 2016 (UTC)
- Actually there is plenty of context. You have a very long pattern of dropping in silly comments in situations where they are not helpful and this is but one example out of many. I echo what Jeppiz says and ask you to stop making silly little comments everywhere, they add heat to situations without adding anything useful. I assure you that any boomerang will fly in an oddly straight direction in this situation. HighInBC 16:44, 18 January 2016 (UTC)

Your note Regarding assuming good faith
Since you seem to have appointed yourself my better [4], kindly explain to me where I went wrong in eventually assuming bad faith in Qed237 (talk · contribs), who is someone who repeatedly edit warred with me, without any explanation of what they were doing or why, and whose only interaction with me was an increasing level of warnings and threats? I explained my actions at every stage, I opened discussions, I did everything asked of me, and the end result, as you can see, is that none of my changes to the article have actually happened - even though most of them appear to be entirely uncontroversial, and not even Qed237 objects to them being done. He made a series of completely unjustified reverts, just because he objected to one small part of my changes. If I am not allowed to assume bad faith in those circumstances, might you permit me to assume he is simply incompetent? Now, with that said, I'm off to make those edits yet again, and finally, someone will have actually improved Wikipedia by turning a shit article into a less shit one.

3RR warnings
Hi - before you report someone to AN3, please be sure to give them a 3RR warning using {{uw-3rr}}. The user you reported is new, and I can't block him for 3RR when he only got a level 3 unsourced content warning. It's not the same, and we can't assume the newbies know that we have a 3RR policy. I've warned him appropriately now, so if he reverts after this he has no excuse. I didn't say this in my close, but both edit-warring editors should have been warned and reported, not just the new one. Thanks for the report, and let us know if it continues. :-) Katietalk 18:54, 13 March 2016 (UTC)

I wasn't making test edits.

I see that you're repeatedly removing the bold formatting (the ''' markup) from around the article title in the lead of this article. Our formatting convention is that we generally format article titles in such a way.
If you think that the article titles should not be formatted like this, then please start a discussion as to why not on the article's Talk: page. Don't just revert it, that's seen as WP:EDIT WARRING and is strongly discouraged here. Andy Dingley (talk) 10:33, 20 March 2016 (UTC)

OK, problem here: although a few genealogies seem to make him a knight, Horrox says "although he was never knighted" (my emphasis), so we need a different title for the article. Maybe Christopher Conyers (bailiff), since his office as bailiff of the liberty of Richmond seems to be the principal one he held? Choess (talk) 17:13, 24 March 2016 (UTC)
- Yep. Christopher Conyers of Hornby, Lancashire; Sir Christopher Conyers of Sockburn. Good catch! Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi 17:48, 24 March 2016 (UTC)
- (forgot to ping, @Choess: ) Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi 18:04, 24 March 2016 (UTC)
- Are you OK with the proposed title? I can move it and clean up the redirect. Also, I hope you don't mind citation templates; I used Template:Cite ODNB for the ODNB article, which I thought looked a bit neater than the bare URL. Choess (talk) 18:41, 24 March 2016 (UTC)
- No worries about the bare refs, the fact that I use them is purely reflective of the fact I -don't - know- how- to do it your way! May I suggest the dab is along the lines of (feudal bailiff) or (bailiff of Richmond): purely because bailiff on its own, I think, has a rather different connotation today?

I don't want to continue there, esp. since they can't respond--but whether the original misreading was innocent or not, the battlegroundish commentary they build on it it was not. Besides, consider how much they had to be browsing through my history or ANI before they found it (I have had very limited interactions with Flyer, I think): that also is seriously troubling. Drmies (talk) 14:00, 27 March 2016 (UTC)
- Fair point; and such deep-water trawling does suggest an absolute intention at finding something (indeed, anything!) to use. Carry on! Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi 14:03, 27 March 2016 (UTC)
- Will do, thanks. Such blocks make me sad, though: editors who could otherwise do good work dig themselves into a hole and keep digging. Drmies (talk) 14:10, 27 March 2016 (UTC)
At Cebr1979's talk you have stated the interpretation "could be valid, according to the link". Please re-read the claim and the link because the link does not support the claim. The qualification in the comment is what a person subject to stalking would say if they wanted to obscure any trails that may lead to their identity. If someone I had rarely interacted with asked me if I am the same person as John Smith at Facebook, I may suggest I could be because I'm not going to enter into a 20-questions game to provide information about my identity—that in no way suggests I would therefore create sockpuppets at Wikipedia. The claim is totally bogus and it should be removed from the page as it is completely without evidence, yet is stated confidently with a link the gullible may accept, and therefore is the start of a smear. Johnuniq (talk) 00:11, 28 March 2016 (UTC)

In regards to your comments here, it is extremely refreshing to see an admin who actually has a head on their shoulders! Bbb23 and Diannaa are the only other two I can say that about (though, admittedly, it's not like I've encountered every admin Wikipedia has to offer but...). It takes a special breed to see through BS (even if sometimes the BS is mine but, you also saw through other people's) instead of sticking by "friends."Cebr1979 (talk) 00:03, 2 April 2016 (UTC)

if you are referring to my 'neighbourhood' rant, it is only correct to repair the damage done to the english language by us barbaric americans; if you are referring to the 'oak park' discussion, i was confused by an edit made to my page and reached out to the editor who made it, i tried to be as courteous as possible and if i seemed impolite it was definitely not purposeful; and if you are referring to the vandal counter, I HAVE URGES! and i undid it afterward (and before you messaged me) because guilt. No matter what, i have not been in any way malicious, i was not trying to offend or "harass" anyone, and am slightly puzzled (and bothered) that you contacted me because of it. if this post seems in any way "disruptive" to you, i assure it is not meant to be either, so chill mang, chill.

Laura Branigan little brother Billy was born 1957 in Mount Kisco
I changed my mind. I am curious how you will solve the problem with both Lauras and Billy Branigan's birth year, 1957. Remember they were siblings, and siblings usually don't have the same birth year. As Devilmanozzy wrote to me "1957 stays"! And US Public Records says about Billy..28 Feb 1957. So it must stay, or what do you think? Or will you find a new birth year to Billy, when you decided Laura was born 1957 and not he? If you do, you must convince Laura's siblings Susan, Mark and Billy and of course public records that they are wrong. It might be difficult for you, though my contacts with Laura's former neighbours, classmates, sources, clips, photos from the 50's and 60's were not reliable. But I am sure you will find sources that will surprise us all that Billy Branigan was born 28 Feb 19xx! Btw..I have found more about Billy. His voting record with his voting number and also February 28, 1957. Are they also fabricated by me? If yes, how did I do it? I have no clue myself. Good luck and we are many who loves this "edit war" you have created so good on your own. And at last...Laura Branigan was born July 3, 1952 in Mount Kisco. Doesn't matter how hard you work for it. Once again, good luck in your delicate problems!--Born53 swe (talk) 08:53, 23 April 2016 (UTC)

- Antagonism is reciprocal User: Liz, and you might want to look at why some editors respond that way; in the most recent examples, after I was trolled on another TP, and most recently after advising an editor that he was edit warring. I'm sure you take those issues even more seriously than comments on my talk. In the meantime, be assured I will give those requests the deference they deserve.

- I ought to clarify the above statement in more detail, for watchers, passing editors, etc.
- When Liz says "you have several editors", she actually means (in recent months, anyway) two, as 'several,' Wikionary tells us, from the seventeeth-century, has meant 'a number more than two'.
- When IHTS banned me from his TP, it was because I commented in response to this comment by an IP. This is not just any IP; this is an WP:LTA, user Vote (X) for Change, who had previously that day been mass-reverted by myself and others on Wales' TP here, and earlier under another IP, had posted on BethNaught's page and was reverted; and finally posts on IHardlyThinkSo's page. Which was not reverted; and, indeed, is still there.
- The second is far simpler. Spacecowboy420 does not like being informed that he is (almost) edit-warring and approaching 3RR: his immediate response is to delete the template and impose a 'ban.' It is possible that he believes that WP:CIVIL trumps WP:AGF; it does not; they are mutually inclusive.
- Lastly, my personal opinion is administrators should probably not tell editors to desist from things before they have done them: this suggests, rightly or wrongly, a lack of faith.
- This is background, not a rallying cry or a debating point. Cheers,
- Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi 13:12, 20 May 2016 (UTC)

User:Chow chun wai/Alice Lai Nga Yu
Just in case you haven't figured it out, when a page has been deleted, a user may request a WP:REFUND. An admin who grants the refund may decide to 'userify' the article by placing the undeleted page in the user's space. Although it is now a user's subpage, it can show as being "created" by the admin who did the refund. Six months later, when it hasn't been worked on any further, you nominate it for deletion as a stale draft, but your automated script thinks that the admin who did the refund is the person who needs to be notified about the speedy notice.

- You probably need to read a few of the articles listed at User:Geogre #Latest de novo articles to get some idea. Then make your own mind up. --RexxS (talk) 20:19, 29 May 2016 (UTC)
- Doesn't seem to have been obsessed by references; but fair play on the feller. Thanks for that info above by the way; didn't release that a refunded article is technically the Admin's. Due mainly to the fact that I don't think I've seen a refunded article before. Cheers! Muffled Pocketed 20:56, 29 May 2016 (UTC)
- Most writers in the early days didn't have the same obsession with citing every sentence. Geogre would simply read up on a load of sources and write the article from what he'd learned from them. At the bottom of the page he'd note which his principal sources were. He always cited any direct quotes of course. If you think about it, that's pretty much how all previous encyclopedias (and many scholarly works) were written. The articles are no less supported by reliable sources; it just takes more effort for those who want to verify them. --RexxS (talk) 21:43, 29 May 2016 (UTC)
- Less bureaucracy? I see what you mean on many of those articles. Is that him in the photos you have? Muffled Pocketed 22:36, 29 May 2016 (UTC)

Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot
Note: All columns in this table are sortable, allowing you to rearrange the table so the articles most interesting to you are shown at the top. All images have mouse-over popups with more information. For more information about the columns and categories, please consult the documentation and please get in touch on SuggestBot's talk page with any questions you might have.
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. We appreciate that you have signed up to receive suggestions regularly; your contributions make Wikipedia better — thanks for helping!

Question
Filing an SPI in a case like you describe is often closed out of hand. The best way to address it is to privately contact a member of the SPI team, probably better a CheckUser, who can decide whether to investigate outside of the SPI process.--Bbb23 (talk) 17:17, 1 June 2016 (UTC)
- Check. Err... like you Bbb23? Muffled Pocketed 17:22, 1 June 2016 (UTC)
- If you like. Please bear in mind that I don't generally reply to e-mail, so if I have something to say, I'll post it here.--Bbb23 (talk) 21:02, 1 June 2016 (UTC)
- BTW, for notifications (pings, etc.) to work, the ping or other template must be included in the same edit that you sign. You signed in your first edit but didn't put in the template until the third of the series. I came back here just to check, not because I received your ping.--Bbb23 (talk) 21:06, 1 June 2016 (UTC)

Another 3RR report about Battle of Ia Drang
Hello Fortuna. see this AN3 report in case you have any comment to make. You filed a report about the same page earlier but it expired with no action. Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 20:35, 1 June 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks EdJohnston, just did (ironically just before you posted). I think that what I filed could be considered a lucky escape for both of them- temporarily. But the thing has been a tit-for-tat for months over multiple articles; if no-one else has got involved in them, perhaps it's because their behaviour has locked editors out? Could be possible.
