Request for deleted file
Hi BDD, I hope you don't mind me contacting you but you happened to be a recognisable admin name who'd made recent changes to pages on my watchlist.
I'd like to get hold of this deleted file, as it is claimed to contain the source data for this figure which I plan to regraph and vectorise. Is that possible? An imgur link or email containing the image would be great, if that's allowed. Many thanks, benmoore 22:28, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
- I don't see why not, as the image wasn't deleted over rights concerns or anything. Here you are. I've never used imgur before, so let me know if that didn't work. --BDD (talk) 22:40, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
- Excellent thanks very much, I've saved a copy. Cheers, benmoore 22:46, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
- You're welcome. I'll go ahead and delete the imgur upload then. --BDD (talk) 22:47, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
- Excellent thanks very much, I've saved a copy. Cheers, benmoore 22:46, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
Steve Austin listed at Redirects for discussion
An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Steve Austin. Since you had some involvement with the Steve Austin redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion if you have not already done so. BDD (talk) 23:42, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
- Oh, man. Remember that time I took a page I created to an XfD without realizing it and I ended up giving myself an automated notification? That was awesome. --BDD (talk) 06:28, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
Macrons
See Talk:Eitarō Ozawa. This move would undo some undiscussed additions of macrons by Shahwould. I was thinking of closing this with a verdict that anyone could remove the macrons if they felt like it, but the closing admin would not do any moves. But now I see that User:Shahwould is continuing to create macronized names. Here is his recent move log. The one at Kyōko Ariyoshi is a straight macronization. The guidance at WP:MOSJ does not enlighten me. There is a suggestion in the RM discussion that socks are involved, but I can't follow the logic. Would it be correct to insist that Shahwould open a move discussion the next time he feels a need for a macron? How could that be enforced? Thanks for any insight you can provide, EdJohnston (talk) 03:16, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
- On second thought, User:Shahwould has made no edits since 25 January, which is when this exchange happened on User:Michitaro's talk page. If S. resumes macronizing without discussion I can leave him a warning to get consensus, or ask him to use WP:RMTR for any further moves. Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 16:35, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
Meri Maa
Hi! The article was deleted by you on 7th Feb after discussion at "Misplaced Pages:Redirects for discussion/Log/2014 January 31#Meri Maa". I don't know why delete this article because i was already provided the info in this article. See this revision, So can you restore the deleted history, because currently this article is created by other user.. :-ChanderForYou 17:30, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
- Ah, yes, I see. I thought the entire history of that page had been related to its purpose as a redirect. I'll restore that edit you made so you can view it and possibly restore some of the content. For future reference, if you turn a redirect at WP:RFD into an article, that's great—just let us know in the discussion for that redirect so your contribution isn't overlooked. --BDD (talk) 19:27, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks BDD, for restore the revision, It is a helpful information for this article. :-ChanderForYou 14:26, 9 February 2014 (UTC)

A kitten for you!
This wiki-kitten is here to express my thanks for your creation of Always-on DRM. It's a very interesting topic. I also note that when you created it last year, it was only 60 words short of being eligible for WP:DYK. If you'd like my assistance with DYKing your future articles, please don't hesitate to ask. Cheers,

Municipalities of Algeria
Could you relist Talk:Communes_of_Algeria#Requested_move_2 again. There are new findings, especially the only source has switched to the name proposed in Misplaced Pages. Androoox (talk) 02:23, 14 February 2014 (UTC)
Recreating Little Flower Forane Church, Nilambur
I would like to recreate the article Little Flower Forane Church, Nilambur which you have deleted previously due to lack of reliable sources.--Joseph 15:23, 14 February 2014 (UTC)
- I could restore a copy in your userspace (i.e., at User:991joseph/Little Flower Forane Church, Nilambur) or in draft space (i.e., Draft:Little Flower Forane Church, Nilambur). It doesn't really matter which, but in draft space, it's more likely that you may get other people helping you. Which would you prefer? --BDD (talk) 17:13, 14 February 2014 (UTC)

Islamist unrest in Egypt (2013–present)
Greetings,
The issue was not resolved and the page is still called Talk:Egyptian Government Crackdown on Muslim Brotherhood. Can you check again please? Thanks. Fitzcarmalan (talk) 18:13, 18 February 2014 (UTC)
- Ah, so it's not just me, then. I thought something was wrong with my cache. I'll take a look. --BDD (talk) 18:16, 18 February 2014 (UTC)
- Actually, it's still doing that. From the article Islamist uprising in Egypt (2013–present), I go to the talk page and see Talk:Egyptian Government Crackdown on Muslim Brotherhood as you said. But when I try to move that page, the system thinks it's already (correctly) named Talk:Islamist uprising in Egypt (2013–present) and thus won't let me rename the page to the "same" title. I think it's a software issue. Give it a few hours maybe. --BDD (talk) 18:18, 18 February 2014 (UTC)
- Sure, thanks anyway. Fitzcarmalan (talk) 19:41, 18 February 2014 (UTC)
City Center, Florida
I don't think the concencess on the RFDe was delete. I would think the outcome would be No consensus. By pure headcount, it was three deletes vs two not-deletes. By the strength of the arguments, the delete votes were against city center as a generic term, which is not the same thing as a neighborhood who's proper name is "City Center". Every city has a city center, but that doesn't mean its named "City Center" (mine for example is named "Old Town"). The delete votes also ignore that the only "City Center" in Florida we have an article on is the target. Besides, this can be boldly disambiguated as a compromise. I think disambiguation would actually be better sense it's unusual to list neighborhoods as ", ", and it seems like perfectly plausible as an {{r from incorrect name}} for Sun City Center, Florida.

Template talk:Unreliable sources
Hi.
I would appreciate if I could get some external feedback on a potential issue that I noticed with the "Unreliable Sources" template (Template talk:Unreliable sources), or if you could direct me to the proper place for issues like this. Thanks in advance. - Anonimski (talk) 18:53, 19 February 2014 (UTC)
- WP:TFD is probably the most high-profile place for such a discussion, even if you don't want the template deleted or renamed. Such discussions do occur from time to time. If you choose that route, though, be explicit that you're not looking for deletion, or else people will just vote on that anyway. You could also try WP:RSN, but I'm not sure how much traffic you'd get there (more than a template talk page, I suppose). Alternatively, you could slap an WP:RFC tag on your existing comments to attract editors there. --BDD (talk) 18:57, 19 February 2014 (UTC)
Deletion review for Alumni Hall (University of Notre Dame)
An editor has asked for a deletion review of Alumni Hall (University of Notre Dame). Because you closed the deletion discussion for this page, speedily deleted it, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the deletion review. 6ansh6 21:51, 19 February 2014 (UTC)
Silesian language
Clearly a consensus to move, just not to where. I think if you chose the most popular name we could all live with it. — kwami (talk) 03:03, 20 February 2014 (UTC)
- I think you're right, but I'd rather leave it to a followup RM than try to pick one myself. --BDD (talk) 17:41, 20 February 2014 (UTC)
Moving "Sagara, Karnataka" to "Sagar, Karnataka"
Hi, I am disappointed by the decision taken against moving "Sagara, Karnataka" to "Sagar, Karnataka". I am from the same region and I know that the correct spelling of the town is "Sagar" and not "Sagara". I am for giving the right information to readers and feel uncomfortable when someone resorts to vandal abuse to forward their own propaganda. I joined Misplaced Pages in 2008 but did not contribute much these years. I recently started editing articles after I noticed that there are a few contributors from southern part of Karnataka state in India who are systematically promoting spellings that sound closer to their dialect. I suggest that you refer to Government websites mentioned in my comments on the talk page of "Sagara, Karantaka" before striking the vote. — Preceding unsigned comment added by PuttuHegde (talk • contribs) 04:51, 20 February 2014 (UTC)
- There hasn't been a decision against moving yet. I simply listed the discussion a second time to try to gain more input in the discussion. I've also notified the WikiProjects for Karnataka and India in hopes of getting more editors familiar with the town. There should be a decision in another week or so. --BDD (talk) 06:27, 20 February 2014 (UTC)
