Open access
Hi, I just noted that you had Category:Open access archives speedily moved to Category:Open-access archives. However, this is certainly not uncontroversial. After many discussions, all articles and categories about "open access foo" have omitted the hyphen, so this one is now the only one that deviated from that. Just have a look at the contents of Category:Open access (publishing). --Randykitty (talk) 17:54, 9 August 2014 (UTC)
- That's because in the first category it's a compound modifier, and according to WP:HYPHEN#3 it needs a hyphen. Even description of the category hyphenates the term. Armbrust 18:12, 9 August 2014 (UTC)
- Please see the discussion here. --Randykitty (talk) 16:35, 12 August 2014 (UTC)
- Hi, did you have a chance to look at that discussion? --Randykitty (talk) 17:51, 14 August 2014 (UTC)
- Yeah, and I think it reached a wrong conclusion. If you want that the category is renamed back, than you need to initiate a full discussion. Armbrust 17:57, 14 August 2014 (UTC)
- Perhaps you have noticed that I did not give an opinion myself at that discussion. Personally, I couldn't care less if a hyphen is included or not. However, I do find it irritating that we now have a whole lot of articles and categories that don't use a hyphen and one category that does... Being the one who introduced the inconsistency, I think you should either start moving everything to include a hyphen, or undo the one outlier. --Randykitty (talk) 18:33, 14 August 2014 (UTC)
- I don't really want to commit to such a task, and categories can only be renamed through CFD. Armbrust 18:47, 24 August 2014 (UTC)

RFC
Hi, thanks for closing this Talk:Acharya S#Request for comment. Anything as closer you can do about the outcome being apparently overruled by a user? In ictu oculi (talk) 09:15, 12 August 2014 (UTC)
- I could add back the full name per the RFC and WP:NOTCENSORED and suggest another discussion if they want it to be changed, but I don't really want to get involved in this situation. Armbrust 09:29, 12 August 2014 (UTC)
Mitchell Mann
Hi, saw you deleted a Mitchell Mann article a few years ago, before he turned professional. Just wondering if it was about the snooker player or if it was possible to restore it as he is now a pro.--Snooker155 (talk) 21:23, 13 August 2014 (UTC)
- I didn't deleted the article, I just nominated it for deletion (because it was about an amateur snooker player). I also can't undelete the article, as I'm not an administrator. If you want it to be undeleted, than you should initiate a discussion at WP:DRV. Armbrust 21:43, 13 August 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks, if not sucessful I will just create a new one.--Snooker155 (talk) 21:53, 13 August 2014 (UTC)
2014 Paul Hunter Classic
Seen snooker.org's tweets hence I looked up Anton Waywod. Anyway turns out Vyacheslav Nikiforov normally goes by the name Slava Nikiforov found a PDF stating his club was CSC Regensburg so maybe you could ask them , they're also on twitter, but not so active. As for Ali Masoudi Alavi his club is SC Mayen-Koblenz . ★☆ DUCKISJAMMMY☆★ 17:15, 14 August 2014 (UTC)
- Done. Hopefully they can give us the missing information. Armbrust 17:50, 14 August 2014 (UTC)
- I presume you got a response given you changed Nikiforov's nationality to German as for Alavi this says he's German. ★☆ DUCKISJAMMMY☆★ 16:19, 15 August 2014 (UTC)
- Yeah, they supplied this information via Facebook. Armbrust 16:37, 15 August 2014 (UTC)
- Great, that's that sorted then. ★☆ DUCKISJAMMMY☆★ 16:45, 15 August 2014 (UTC)

Featured Pictures Removals Question
Wasn't sure who to ask this to. Since you usually close FPCs, most likely you know the answer to this. I randomly went on Tomato and noticed that File:Bright red tomato and cross section02.jpg is a Featured Picture itself. And as I was looking over it, I saw that the resolution for its height is lower than the required minimum in the criteria. But I'm wondering if because it has low resolution it warrants a delisting nomination. GamerPro64 02:39, 16 August 2014 (UTC)
- The resolution has raised a couple times. If it's only a little under resolution requirement, leave it; if it's way, way under, then it might be worth reconsidering. There are some people who hate resolution-only reasons to delist, though if it's really, really under, I think they'll need to shut up. Or if there's any other issues. Adam Cuerden 02:51, 16 August 2014 (UTC)
- For that one... well, we haven't had formal shots like that in a while at FPC, and I'd be inclined to leave it until we have someone able to replace it. Adam Cuerden 02:54, 16 August 2014 (UTC)
- Got it. Honestly, I'm probably one who would not be sure about what issues a picture would have to be delisted anyway. GamerPro64 03:08, 16 August 2014 (UTC)

Columbia Flight Recorder
Hello Armbrust! The Columbia Flight Recorder you put into the article on the disaster is a fake... Can you change it please, I dont know how to do it. Here is 2 links to the right one : http://collectspace.com/ubb/Forum41/HTML/000098.html, https://www.flickr.com/photos/radiokate/5221815372/ out of respect for the crew, this should be put right. Thank you and kind regards. Best, jone — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.183.143.75 (talk) 10:32, 20 August 2014
- I have removed the image, but didn't upload any replacement for now. This is because the proposed Flickr image is all rights reserved and the copyright status of the collectSPACE images is unclear. If you think the image is a fake, than you should nominate it for deletion on Commons. Armbrust 18:36, 24 August 2014 (UTC)

POTD
I just got back to Yogya and I am both ill and facing internet issues. Would you be able to schedule a couple POTDs? — Crisco 1492 (talk) 12:21, 24 August 2014 (UTC)
- @Crisco 1492: Sorry, but I can't help you with that. I could choose the images, but writing blurbs is something I rather not do. Armbrust 18:45, 24 August 2014 (UTC)
- Alright. In that case, if possible could you pick a week's worth of images (I'm getting a bit better), and I'll handle the blurbs. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:41, 24 August 2014 (UTC)
- @Crisco 1492: Done I have added images until the end of September. Armbrust 08:10, 25 August 2014 (UTC)

FP and footnotes...
Hi Armbrust- Not that I plan to ramble needlessly, but is there a way to use one or two footnotes in a FP nomination - without screwing up other things? Thanks -Godot13 (talk) 02:19, 25 August 2014 (UTC)
- @Godot13: Yeah, there is. Just add {{reflist|group=n}} at the end of the nomination, but above the categories. Armbrust 08:13, 25 August 2014 (UTC)

Hey, just a note...
...Well, now that the confusion regarding me knowing about WP:NACD and not that specific line in WP:RMCI has been resolved, I have a suggestion regarding something sort of related. Well, long story short, I wasn't basically on Misplaced Pages at all during your recent WP:RFA nomination. I was reading through some of the opposes, and it seemed like a few of them voted to oppose due to your disregard of WP:NACD when it came to some of the discussion closes. This is just my two cents, given something I had talked to you about in the past: an idea that may help "fix" that confusion, as well as help Misplaced Pages fix a contradicting policy, is to somehow propose that WP:NACD (and WP:BADNAC), WP:RMCI, and any other applicable closing instructions pages get synchronized to avoid other editors being confused between the contradicting policies, and then revert/oppose editors when only one of the policies is violated (like I did with you twice recently in the past few months). Do you have any thoughts on this? Steel1943 (talk) 04:22, 1 September 2014 (UTC)
- Yeah, this should be done by someone else. Armbrust 07:22, 5 September 2014 (UTC)
Draft categories
Thanks for handling the case corrections on the draft categories. Since you know how it's done, here are a few more that need fixing: Category:WWE Draft, Category:National Basketball Association Draft. I hope you will... Dicklyon (talk) 00:51, 4 September 2014 (UTC)
2014 Bulgarian Open
I created the above page early this morning, I filled in some of blanks in regards to flags with the help of snooker.org now they have the draw done. As for the blanks on snooker.org Teodor Chomovski and Stefan Simeonovski are Bulgarian . Josh Mulholland and Anthony Jeffers are English . That leaves four outstanding. ★☆ DUCKISJAMMMY☆★ 23:15, 4 September 2014 (UTC)
- Ok, down to two, I think Conor McCormack is from Ireland not sure if he's from the Republic or the North maybe ask NIBSA as he seems to be listed on their rankings. I'm pretty sure Karen Osipov is from Russia not Bulgaria as stated by snooker.org. Lastly what's the situation with Farhan Mirza I thought he represented Pakistan previously did he switch allegiance to Sweden. ★☆ DUCKISJAMMMY☆★ 01:02, 5 September 2014 (UTC)

POTD redux
Thanks for all the scheduling. If you prefer, I can go back to scheduling images now. RL has calmed down a bit. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 01:14, 10 September 2014 (UTC)
- Actually, I think I'll schedule the images now. There's an evil plan afoot. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 01:33, 10 September 2014 (UTC)

MRV template override
Hi Amrbrust, I'm curious about this edit of yours.
The headers you removed are actually put there by Template:MRV top. If those headers are undesirable, wouldn't it be easier to modify the template instead? ~Amatulić (talk) 20:24, 10 September 2014 (UTC)
- The headers are only needed until there are open discussions on the log page to separate them. After every discussion is closed they become redundant. Just like on WP:DRV. Armbrust 20:31, 10 September 2014 (UTC)
- The template documentation says the headers should remain on the page until the monthly log is archived.
- The point I was trying to make is that closing admins don't put those headers there. The closing admin replaces the header with {{subst:MRV top|]|result}}, and that template then re-inserts the header. It seems that the best way to avoid having to remove them from closed discussions is to fix Template:MRV top rather than the symptom. I have just done so, although I am not sure if this will mess up the bot that archives that page, if the bot is expecting to see those headers and remove them. ~Amatulić (talk) 21:29, 10 September 2014 (UTC)
- And I have reverted you, {{MRV top}} doesn't need fixing. The headers are needed on the page until all the discussion are not closed, and they make closing the sections easier. Especially for users who use the User:Armbrust/closemrv.js script. Armbrust 21:34, 10 September 2014 (UTC)

2014 IAAF Continental Cup
You placed an objectionable tag on the top of this article. As the editor who placed most of the results in this article, that's my work your are complaining about. There is virtually no prose in the article, so it is results. I placed the meet results site at the bottom. Every result on the page is one or two links off of that main page. Do you want 40 different sub-references to the same site? That would be absurd. Where would we put them? There is not another track and field results page that has something like that. What exactly are you expecting? Trackinfo (talk) 06:57, 16 September 2014 (UTC)
- It's quite obvious: more inline citations are needed. There is nothing absurd about it. The references could be placed in the first column. Armbrust 07:34, 16 September 2014 (UTC)
- Are you serious? 40 references because YOU don't know how to click on the name of the event on the currently sourced site? That has never been done before. Trackinfo (talk) 10:12, 16 September 2014 (UTC)
- Yes. It's not a problem if the article contains more references. The fact that it wasn't done before, doesn't mean that it shouldn't been. Armbrust 12:25, 20 September 2014 (UTC)

Category:Pigeon breeds
Can you show me the discussion for that? --PigeonIP (talk) 12:03, 20 September 2014 (UTC)
- There was no such discussion, but the category was listed for speedy renaming at WP:CFDS in this edit at 16:31, 15 September 2014 by SMcCandlish, where it remained unopposed for the next 71 hours, and was processed in this edit. Everything was made according to the process. Armbrust 12:15, 20 September 2014 (UTC)
- Thank you, I can't be daily around. My problem with that move, is that some american associations like the NAPA do handle the Diamond Dove and the Ringneck Dove as breeds as well. Both are not a breed of Columba livia domestica, the Domestic Pigeon. The rather strange name of the Category:Domesticated pigeon breeds prevented us from such discussions, if the named two are breeds or not... (cause at least in Europe they are not, even if they are bread in captivity like many other pigeon species as well). --PigeonIP (talk) 18:58, 20 September 2014 (UTC) Maybe Category:Domestic Pigeon breeds or Category:Breeds of Domestic Pigeon is even better. Category:Duck breeds is about two domesticated duck species, but that is ok, and Category:Goose breeds even has a lot of hybrids between the two domesticated geese. --PigeonIP (talk) 22:24, 20 September 2014 (UTC)

Your closing of the Emerson merge request
Can you please tell me who requested the close, and on what grounds? There was a prior merge and delete request to merge IPT into Emerson, but the reviewer gave a detailed summary, and her reasons included there are issues that were not properly presented in the first request. They are now being properly presented, so I don't understand the reason for you closing the request. Thank you in advance. Atsme☯ 20:48, 25 September 2014 (UTC)
- It was at WP:ANFRC, but is now archived at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Requests for closure/Archive 14#Talk:Steven Emerson#Merger proposal dated September 2014. Discuss here.. Armbrust 02:47, 26 September 2014 (UTC)
- Thank you for the information. I looked it up, and believe the following is what happened. My merge request was made in June - GenQuest's in September. I had nothing to do with GenQuest's request to merge. My only involvement was a comment in the comment section Talk:Steven Emerson which is what was used to deceitfully have the merge closed. Of further relevance and importance is the review summary that was given for the closure of my June request to merge: Talk:Steven_Emerson/Archive_3 A few excerpts by the reviewer: .....as suggested by User:Aircorn, a reasonable argument under the second category might be that the IPT is exclusively associated with Steve Emerson, if evidence to this effect is presented. Also the following: Note that this close does not evaluate whether the articles are compliant with policy (e.g. WP:NOR); it would be a good idea for the editors here to resolve these issues, but they would only have become relevant to the merger question if so much of the article was noncompliant that nearly all of it had to be deleted, and arguments to this effect have not been presented. Good faith editors are simply trying to follow the suggestions of the reviewer, improve the articles, and present good faith arguments. The editor who requested closure did so in an attempt to game the system, and shut down discussion. Not good. Please re-open. Atsme☯ 16:08, 26 September 2014 (UTC)
- I'm getting accused of deceit here and yet in request I link here Misplaced Pages:Proposed_mergers#AWAITING_CONSENSUS. Above Atsme says she wasn't involved in anyway with the request to merge yet at Talk:Steven_Emerson Genquest says they received the merge request at proposed mergers. Genquest provided the merge rationale in quotations. That merge rationale is the same as provided by Atsme on proposed mergers. I am missing the deceit. Well I see deceit but it's not on my part. I'm very sorry this has to come to your page.Serialjoepsycho (talk) 20:36, 26 September 2014 (UTC)
- The merge proposal was posted 22 September 2014 on Steven Emerson by User:GenQuest, not me. The merge proposal I made was in June, and it was already closed. Atsme☯ 08:03, 27 September 2014 (UTC)
- Comment: Maybe this can clear some things up. The merge request from @Atsme: is in a several months long que that I have just gotten to due to my inability to be on Misplaced Pages much this past summer (because of a large project I am running at my real job). I have just again started working through the que a bit, and that is why this has popped up now. The request was made in June, and, as there was no discussion here, I posted the merge request—albeit—late, at the correct spot for such a discussion to have taken place. I was unaware of this having been discussed and closed elsewhere. Sorry for any confusion. GenQuest 15:58, 27 September 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks for clearing that up. I knew full well I had not requested a 2nd merge in September. Perhaps if Joe hadn't archived the results so quickly, you would have known. Atsme☯ 01:55, 28 September 2014 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Featured picture candidates/State Arms of the Union (set)
Hi Armbrust-
Based on Adam's comment on my set I am working to re-edit most of the images. I want to see how far I can get by mid afternoon. If I'm not making enough progress I may ask for a 24 hour suspension to let me finish the work. I will let you know in about 12 hours. Would this be okay if requested? Thanks.-- Godot13 (talk) 02:16, 26 September 2014 (UTC)
- Of course it's okay, although the suspension can done even after the nomination period is over. Armbrust 02:45, 26 September 2014 (UTC)
- Okay, thanks. I hope to avoid it if possible...--Godot13 (talk) 04:45, 26 September 2014 (UTC)
