List of Jet Airliners: Number Built
Hi, Natg 19. I am responding to your request on the talk page for List of Jet Airliners for source information of the number of each aircaft built. In each case, I obtained that information from the respective aircraft's English-language Wikipedia page, and I directly link the aircraft model to the page. Although you did not ask, this is also where I have been drawing my information for first flight, entry into service and end of production. I am now cross-checking some data with foreign language Wikipedia sources, i.e., French-language Wikipedia for French-built aircraft, etc. Will it still be necessary to provide a separate reference to each Wiki page in addition to the direct link? Please let me know. Mikepurves (talk) 23:39, 7 January 2015 (UTC)
Hi Natg 19, I noticed that you closed this AfD as "Withdrawn by nominator", and believe this may be a procedural error. Under WP:WDAFD, a nomination may not be withdrawn after there has been support for deletion. In this case, it appears that an editor had !voted Keep, but then changed it to Delete (See here). It may be best to undo the edits associated with the closure and allow an admin to close it. B E C K Y S A Y L E S 01:30, 22 January 2015 (UTC)
- Ok, done. Natg 19 (talk) 01:34, 22 January 2015 (UTC)
Your recent RFD relistings
Just curious... Why did you relist some WP:RFD discussions where one was about two months old, the other was about three months old, and have both been listed at WP:ANRFC for a while? Relisting these discussions could potentially slow down the process of these being closed; I mean, if consensus isn't clear after two or three months, it probably never will be. Steel1943 (talk) 14:38, 27 January 2015 (UTC)
- Oh, sorry. I didn't know about WP:ANRFC. I just thought that relisting would push them up to the top of the queue and garner more attention for these RFDs. Sorry if that made it more difficult for closure. Natg 19 (talk) 19:33, 27 January 2015 (UTC)
- No worries, as I used to do the same, and then I read multiple editors' opinions about how it seems more plausible for an older discussion to just be closed, rather than relisted. Either way, since I understand you did those relists under good faith intentions, thanks! Steel1943 (talk) 21:47, 27 January 2015 (UTC)
Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/JanusVR
Hi Natg 19. I wish to challenge your non-admin closure of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/JanusVR, which you closed as no consensus. None of the arguments for keeping the article mention policy nor do they provide any evidence of reliable sources to meet WP:GNG. Of the few reliable sources, the software is merely mentioned in passing. A Wild Abigail Appears!'s argument was that they googled and found a good amount of links, however those links are blogs, self-published sources, and forums. As such, that !vote should be discounted. I would like to request that you consider reversing your closure of the AfD, unless you know of sources that show that the article meets the WP:GNG requirement of "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject". Many thanks.- MrX 14:41, 31 January 2015 (UTC)
- Ok, as I am not an administrator, I will revert my non-admin closure, and let an administrator close this. They can decide what the proper closure should be. Natg 19 (talk) 06:59, 1 February 2015 (UTC)
- Thank you Natg 19. It never hurts to get a second opinion.- MrX 16:31, 1 February 2015 (UTC)
Redirect of Once Upon a Time in The Soviet Union
Are you going to merge the information into the target article? - dcljr (talk) 00:40, 2 February 2015 (UTC)
- I originally didn't see much to merge. But now, I've added some information about the book to the target article. Natg 19 (talk) 18:06, 2 February 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks. - dcljr (talk) 04:50, 3 February 2015 (UTC)
I probably should have asked this already ... who does the actual merging? —ATinySliver/ATalkPage 01:40, 7 February 2015 (UTC)
- Any editor can do the actual merging. You can do it if you would like. Natg 19 (talk) 01:41, 7 February 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks for the response. —ATinySliver/ATalkPage 02:01, 7 February 2015 (UTC)
Kirchner UN speech
I don't think that I meant to delete Kirchner UN speech. As far as I see, it's not at all linked in the RFD, except for one reference in Si Trew's first comment; it wasn't nominated for anything, and its only other appearance was Callanecc's specific request to keep it. Did I miss something? Nyttend (talk) 03:55, 7 February 2015 (UTC)
- The redirect was moved while under discussion; apparently the mover didn't understand quite what was going on, as moving a redirect doesn't get rid of the redirect. As Si Trew noted in the RFD, creating a new redirect would have been a lot easier...At any rate, nobody specifically asked for "UN" to be deleted, so it ought not be deleted unless there's another RFD for "UN" that ends in deletion. Nyttend (talk) 06:19, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Backyard (disambiguation)
Hello Natg 19,
I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Backyard (disambiguation) for deletion, because it doesn't appear to contain any encyclopedic content. Take a look at our suggestions for essential content in short articles to learn what should be included.
If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.
You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Fisheriesmgmt (talk) 01:17, 26 February 2015 (UTC)
Deletion discussion about Backyard (disambiguation)
Hello, Natg 19,
I wanted to let you know that there's a discussion about whether Backyard (disambiguation) should be deleted. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Backyard (disambiguation) .
If you're new to the process, articles for deletion is a group discussion (not a vote!) that usually lasts seven days. If you need it, there is a guide on how to contribute. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.
Thanks, Fisheriesmgmt (talk) 06:33, 26 February 2015 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for March 5
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Raju Nair, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Deepika.

WERD (historical radio station)
Natg 19, I've been slowly building this story. It once was named just WERD, but some radio station buff came along that couldn't see its historical role as the first African American owned radio station in the U.S. and is participation in the Civil Rights Movement. So he moved it to WERD (defunct). I do know how the text from WERD got into the WAEC articale. Thanks for adding the MAIN template. As the WERD article lengthens, the WEAC summary of its predecessor can shorten. As articles on The African-American Civil Rights specific to Atlanta are added, some will link to WERD. — Neonorange (talk) 05:24, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks for the note. There was a merge tag on WERD and WEAC and so I decided to redirect as there was nothing to merge to WEAC. Thanks for the clarification. Natg 19 (talk) 07:13, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
Redirect of Minzy
I noticed that the page for 2NE1's Minzy was removed and redirected to the main group's page. Although I do agree with the deletion discussion that she has not done any solo work so far but she is the main dancer of the group and has represented the group in dance battles and performances. She has also done her own solo compositions. Aside from her activities with her group, she has also proven to be a very humble student despite her busy schedules. She has obtained excellent results in her college exams which is quite a feat for a Korean singer. I would like to request that you review the deletion and bring back the Minzy page. She has been a very significant member of 2NE1 for the past 6 years so far and her page shouldn't be deleted just because she has not released any solo albums. Thank you. Shovelqueen (talk) 15:48, 26 March 2015 (UTC)
- I based my closure on the arguments on the AfD discussion. I stand by my closure as redirect, as she has not done any solo work or been notable for activity apart from her group. If you would like to further contest this closure, open a discussion at Wikipedia:Deletion review. Thanks, Natg 19 (talk) 17:30, 26 March 2015 (UTC)
Deletion review for Minzy
An editor has asked for a deletion review of Minzy. 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. Shovelqueen (talk) 07:28, 30 March 2015 (UTC)

ArpON page with reference
Hello,
I think that the references about ArpON are very util for the users on WP community. Can you describe why did you remove them?
Thank you.--Spikeyrock (talk) 11:32, 9 April 2015 (UTC)
- Hi User:Spikeyrock, I was following the guide here: Wikipedia:Citation overkill. It says that "A good rule of thumb is that, except for certain controversial topics, one footnote after a sentence is almost always sufficient. Two or three may be a good way of preventing linkrot for online sources or providing a range of sources that support the fact, but more than three should usually be avoided". Natg 19 (talk) 20:15, 10 April 2015 (UTC)
Hello, I updated the references in the ArpON web page, could you tell me if the references have been distributed correctly in the page please? Thank you.--Spikeyrock (talk) 12:06, 12 April 2015 (UTC)
Joe Rogan Experience
Not sure what to do here. You closed an AfD debate on Joe Rogan Experience as a Redirect which was followed by persistent end-run attempts by the main editor to the point it went to what I thought was a resolved ANI. Well the article was re-created yet again - this time as The Joe Rogan Experience (this after attempting to insert the entire list in the Joe Rogan article. So I tagged it, redirected it, and perhaps premature - am looking for guidance on further action.Peter Rehse (talk) 10:58, 10 April 2015 (UTC)
- That sounds good to me. Thanks, Natg 19 (talk) 20:06, 10 April 2015 (UTC)

Disambiguation of Francis Popham on Hunstrete
I saw your good work disambiguating Francis Popham to Francis Popham (1573–1644) on Hunstrete, however are you sure this is the right one - the text says construction of a 17-bay mansion; however this was abandoned after his death in 1780 which doesn't fit. I note there are also Francis Popham (1646–1674) and Francis Popham (died 1734), so maybe this should be left pointing to the dab page? — Rod talk 18:52, 7 May 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks, I just repointed back to the dab page. Natg 19 (talk) 18:55, 7 May 2015 (UTC)
Non-admin closure of an AFD
This was inappropriate. A non-administrator closure of an AFD should only be undertaken if there is a clear and overwhelming consensus. The AFD you closed had two delete !votes, two keeps and one weak keep. That is hardly a clear and overwhelming consensus. I have reverted the closure. Let an admin evaluate for deletion or relisting. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 01:55, 9 May 2015 (UTC)
- Looking at your talk page, there appear to be a number of complaints about your use of the non-admin closure procedure. I suggest that you simply not avail yourself of this procedure until you are more familiar with the policies. There is no rush to close AFDs, and no need for non-admins to do it in any but the most clear-cut cases. Since you don't seem to have a clear grasp of which cases are clear-cut, you should best just not do it at all. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 01:59, 9 May 2015 (UTC)
69th Infantry Regiment AGAIN; important
Without going through everything in the three years since I was confused by the two articles bearing this name, this recent merger determination with your name on it appears to have been made without understanding of the situation. I've now posted my appeal here on the Talk:69th Infantry Regiment (New York) page with a link to a similar appeal I made at the Talk:69th Infantry Regiment (United States) page. I've also made edits to the two articles themselves to try to make sure no one can be confused by the two similarly titled articles again. I am not an expert on the content of these articles but was brought back, brusquely and none-too-easily, today; a veteran tracked me down from my three-year-old post and posted this to my user page. I hope I've sorted it out correctly; I do know that the major source of my confusion three years ago has since been cleared up; I don't know if you want to be in the loop now but thought it couldn't hurt. Merger would be unfortunate, is my assessment right now. Some tempers are short, frustrations high. (An official hold on the merger? Just an idea. Don't know the process.) Have to hop. Thanks and cheers. Swliv (talk) 19:27, 13 May 2015 (UTC)
- Looking at this again I've seen how the 'merge' decision probably made some sense. But the length of confusion on this and the distinctions between the units and organizations (National Guard v. Regular Army) seems to argue for two surviving articles. It feels like a merged article would be more like a disambiguation page up front. And what would the merged page be called? "69th infantry regiments (various)"? I still haven't gone back to read the closed discussion on the delete/merger proposal. Later, I hope. Thanks again. Swliv (talk) 22:49, 13 May 2015 (UTC)
- Hi Swliv, looking at this again, it looks like the two articles should not be merged. When the discussion at AfD was going on, the two articles had almost identical content, so it was assumed that these 2 units were the same. I'm not too sure how to deal with this either, but maybe we could remove the merge template from the page with a good explanation in the edit summary? Thanks, Natg 19 (talk) 23:51, 13 May 2015 (UTC)
- Natg 19, thanks much. The identical content is what I saw and reacted to in the same way three years ago. Glad it's fixed now. As for the merge issue, I think it's pretty well on hold now. I will try to get to it further soon. I expect it's OK: I will want to link in this exchange here in the process 'over there'. Thanks again. Swliv (talk) 11:38, 14 May 2015 (UTC)
- With a bit of trepidation and probably an excess of 'spelling out', I think it's all done. Templates removed. Thanks one more time. Cheers. Swliv (talk) 17:28, 14 May 2015 (UTC)

Hai Dear Natg 19, I am a new Wikipedian (I do not know whether I can use it or not), I have one doubt. I have contributed few articles to Wikipedia and recently when I downloaded one of my article, I found at last of the pdf page that my name is last among the contributors showing that I am not the page creator. And after everyone's names! Actually I am the page creator, why it is like that? Is it Wikipedia's policy or other whose names or IDs appeared did like that? Why my name has gone to last? Do I need to take any special permission or be a member or what I must do? These are all my doubts and curiosities only. Please help me. If it so atleast my name should be in the first, for I am the one who wrote the article after spending a lot of days and working. Is it unfair?--Peter Thomas Olickal 12:27, 31 May 2015 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Olickal Peter Thomas (talk • contribs)
- I'm not sure what you're talking about. If you are the page creator, it should say that you are the page creator. I don't quite understand what you mean by "first" or "last". Natg 19 (talk) 06:59, 1 June 2015 (UTC)

Unnecessary pipe links
Please stop making the unnecessary disambiguation: Elitserien → Swedish Hockey League. Per WP:NOPIPE, it is generally not good practice to pipe links simply to avoid redirects. Dolovis (talk) 02:06, 3 July 2015 (UTC)
- Hi Dolovis, I was piping the links to fix the links to the Elitserien disambiguation page. If a user is led to that page, they may be confused and not know how they ended up at that page. A user should be taken to the correct page for the Swedish Hockey League, and not a page with a list of all sports leagues called Elitserien. Natg 19 (talk) 06:59, 3 July 2015 (UTC)

Supporters and Opposers of Iran Nuclear Deal
Hello, I recently noticed that you nominated my article for deletion. While you are right that my article is just a list of people who support and oppose the Iran nuclear deal, it is very similar to other articles like mine's, such as the article List of supporters of same-sex marriage in the United States, List of opponents of same-sex marriage in the United States, or even Endorsements of various politicians, such as that of Hillary Clinton, or of other Endorsements for the Democratic Party presidential primaries, 2016. What my article and the other articles mentioned have in common is this:the articles are all lists of who supports a particular issue or not. In fact, they all do not have a lot of information other than listing off supporters and opposers of a particular cause. Since the Iran deal is very important, as well as controversial, to our generation and lifetime, it makes sense, in my opinion, to present to readers the makings behind the debate. Plus, my article does indeed mention the Public Opinion of the Iran Deal, has the guidelines for the deal repeated (but can still be merged), and while my introduction, like the Iran deal, is not perfect, the Introduction can and will become more developed over time;furthermore, more details unfolding about the Iran deal will be presented in my article as well in order to make it look less like, what you say, "a list of all the people who have an opinion about the Iran Nuclear Deal." Now, I understand the strong urge to delete my article, since it probably does not belong in Wikipedia anyways, but there are many articles that do not belong on Wikipedia as well. For instance, the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup knockout stage as well as the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup statistics probably do not belong on Wikipedia because they can be easily merged with the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup page, so they could easily be deleted. Therefore, if you are so concerned about deleting my article, then think about why you have approved of my draft in the first place. Clearly, this article has good article standards, featured article standards, is a stand-alone list, and is developing, but incomplete, according to the Grading Scheme of Wikipedia Articles. But what I suggest as a last-minute gambit is this:transport the Reactions page from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action page over to my page so as to remove any doubts about my article's effectiveness. Ultimately, you can delete my article and risk losing valuable information on Wikipedia, or you can accept it with goodwill, knowing that the reason why it even exists in the first place is because it is "professional, outstanding, and thorough," and is "useful to nearly all readers"[1]. I hope you consider my opinion and judge my article based on its effectiveness and merit, not based on its flaws. Thank you and have a nice day.Parsaf34 (talk) 07:05, 15 August 2015
- Thanks for the note. Though I do want this to be deleted, the article has been put up to a community discussion, so I do not have the final say on whether this article should be deleted or not. You can state your case for this article at Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Supporters_and_Opposers_of_Iran_Nuclear_Deal. As for the other articles that you have mentioned, it is possible that they should also be deleted as well. We will have to review the merits of those articles also.

Esports players nicknames
Where are you getting that nicknames shouldn't be included in the title of an esports player? Generally they are more well known by their gamer IDs/nicknames than their real names.--Prisencolinensinainciusol (talk) 07:12, 17 August 2015 (UTC)
- Is this a common practice? I have not seen it much before. I would think that if an esports player is more known by his gamer ID / nickname, that nickname should be the title of the article. Also, from WP:NICKNAME, it says: "Notable distinctions can be explained in the article, but avoid (for example) adding a nickname, or a contracted version of the original first name(s) in quotes between first and last name." To be honest, I don't feel strongly either way on this issue, but I just have not seen nicknames in quotes in article titles much. Thanks, Natg 19 (talk) 07:23, 17 August 2015 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:The Player (2015 TV series) logo.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:The Player (2015 TV series) logo.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 02:57, 8 October 2015 (UTC)

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to History of Spain may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "[]"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.
- List of unpaired brackets remaining on the page:
- some terrorists groups (i.e. TERRA LLIURE (Catalan for "Free Land"),<ref>[[Terra Lliure]]</ref> [[[ETA (separatist group)|ETA]] (Basque acronym for "Basque Homeland and Freedom")) engaged in

Moving disambiguation pages
Hi. Before you request a move of a disambiguation page to a title that currently redirects to an article, such as Eighth Avenue, please check that all incoming links to that title have been retargeted to the correct article. This will avoid creating bad links that other editors will then have to come in and fix. Thanks. --R'n'B (call me Russ) 13:19, 18 October 2015 (UTC)
- Oh, sorry about that. I tried to fix some of the dab links, but I guess I missed some. Natg 19 (talk) 04:22, 19 October 2015 (UTC)
Best-selling
The term "Best-selling" does not equate to "Bestseller", which is why we have Bestseller (disambiguation) (as well as Category:Lists of bestsellers) which lists those articles containing the term "Best-selling" that a reader might be looking for: List of best-selling mobile phones, List of best-selling albums, List of best-selling music artists, List of best-selling video games, etc. Bestseller gets just over 4k hits a month, while List of best-selling music artists gets just over 58K, so Bestseller is not the most likely target for someone using the "best-selling" search term. WP:PRIMARYTOPIC refers to those instances where either usage or long-term significance apply, as neither applies in this case, it is more appropriate to point Best-selling at Bestseller (disambiguation). If you continue to disagree, then please do open a move discussion and let me know on my talkpage. Regards SilkTork ✔Tea time 06:41, 19 October 2015 (UTC)
Hi, User:Natg 19 Are you mad !!!!!! Why do you removed my edits it's so big impact of Myeik history! !!!!Where you live? Have you ever been and live in Myeik. This is my native town!!!!!!! Understand? ??????!!!!YLNSMN (talk) 10:39, 25 October 2015 (UTC)
Adampur
Hi. Just letting you know I didn't action your technical request to move Adampur (disambiguation) to Adampur because it looked to me like the city article shouldn't have been moved in the first place, so I put that back. Feel free to start a RM discussion if you feel strongly about it. Cheers, Jenks24 (talk) 06:06, 31 October 2015 (UTC)
Something went wrong
I was looking over List of rock instrumentals and noticed all of a sudden that II=I (Two Is One) is a redlink. Not only was it a bluelink not long ago, but I see the link text itself was recently changed on that list. Investigating further, it appears that in recent weeks it was supposed to have been moved to Two Is One (album), which was then modified further to Two Is One (Andromeda album). As you can see from the redlinks in this message, that wasn't accomplished. Now there's an article which was wiped from the face of the encyclopedia without reasonable explanation. I haven't bothered to look and see if this was your doing or not, but I'm letting you know as your name was on the move log. RadioKAOS / Talk to me, Billy / Transmissions 01:22, 4 November 2015 (UTC)
- Hi RadioKAOS, according to the history at Two Is One (Andromeda album), it was deleted as an expired PROD as a nonnotable topic by CambridgeBayWeather. Natg 19 (talk) 22:01, 4 November 2015 (UTC)
- OIC, thanks. The redlink you point out may have been the one I didn't pay much attention to, and the others didn't redirect to that one. An expired PROD also appears to be the case with other redlinks which suddenly materialized on the list. Cheers. RadioKAOS / Talk to me, Billy / Transmissions 08:24, 6 November 2015 (UTC)

.22
Long-standing or not, .22 is a number, not specifically ammunition. Come to the talk page on .22 Long Rifle and discuss please before reverting.MartinezMD (talk) 22:59, 8 November 2015 (UTC)
- Can you create a discussion at redirects for discussion? I don't personally feel strongly about either target. It just seemed to break a lot of links. Thanks, Natg 19 (talk) 23:03, 8 November 2015 (UTC)
- == .22 listed at Redirects for discussion ==
An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect .22. Since you had some involvement with the .22 redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion if you have not already done so. MartinezMD (talk) 23:33, 8 November 2015 (UTC)
Thank you for edits in Ministry of Foreign Affairs!
Thank you for edits in Ministry of Foreign Affairs! Please note that the big table in that article was copied from the alike table in the article Foreign minister. There may be need to put the same edits in the second table, OR establish some solution for both articles, so both are correctly updated. --ssr (talk) 19:29, 18 November 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks for the notice. I have now transcluded the table into Foreign minister, so any updates should be copied over there. Natg 19 (talk) 20:10, 18 November 2015 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for November 21
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Rawalpindi Development Authority, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Traffic Engineering. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hi Natg 19, Just came by to say thanks for amending the merge target[1],
To be absolutely honest I don't have any knowledge of the Army at all and so it didn't help when everyone !voted Merge yet didn't really state where, To be honest I expected someone who participated in the discussion to fix it but I guess that was wishful thinking! [{p|grin}},
Anyway thanks for changing it to the correct one :), Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 07:05, 22 November 2015 (UTC)
Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Disambiguation link notification for December 2
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help.

Hello. This is just a friendly note to let you know that I've reverted your close of Kevin Belcher (baseball). Per WP:BADNAC, a non-admin closure is not appropriate when the result will require action by an administrator. This includes "moving an article into a page (such as a redirect) that can't be accomplished by a regular editor." Since you've had to list it at WP:RMTR, you're just pushing the problem to another place. Just let an admin do the closure so they can move the article at that time. Thanks, -- Tavix (talk) 01:02, 4 December 2015 (UTC)
- Ok, thanks for the notice. Natg 19 (talk) 01:16, 4 December 2015 (UTC)
- @Tavix: See WP:RMNAC. This is generally accepted as OK at RM as long as the consensus is clear, which it appeared to be in this case. Jenks24 (talk) 11:47, 4 December 2015 (UTC)
- @Jenks24: Thanks for the clarification. That seems very counter-intuitive to me since an admin would still be needed.... I'd still prefer admins making closes in that case, but I guess if there's a huge backlog, it wouldn't hurt... -- Tavix (talk) 12:12, 4 December 2015 (UTC)
- Yeah, I'm a bit ambivalent about it. On the one hand, it probably does save a bit of time and it has been an accepted practice at RM at least since I've been contributing there (2010). On the other, the admin does at least have to skim over the discussion to make sure it was a reasonable close before making the move so the time it saves isn't a lot. Jenks24 (talk) 12:17, 4 December 2015 (UTC)
- @Jenks24: I trust your expertise, but I might look at starting a wider discussion about it to see where consensus is on the matter. In the meantime, could you tie up the loose ends with Kevin Belcher? It no longer seems to be listed at WP:RM, which is an obvious issue. -- Tavix (talk) 13:03, 4 December 2015 (UTC)
- Done. Jenks24 (talk) 13:12, 4 December 2015 (UTC)

Hey Natg 19,
got your message regarding to the move of General Norman Johnson to exactly that name. According to the rules a move does not need to be requested if it can be done by oneself as long as it is not disputed - and moving without requesting a move is, surely, not enough to dispute it. So I arleady changed back your changes. Now General Norman Johnson is at exactly that page, which priorly alrady existed and redirected to General Johnson. Now we have 32 men with the legit title of "General Johnson" on General Johnson, including G. Norman Johnson so he doesn´t get lost. An unfortunately named page became a useful disambiguation page and the article was moved to it´s perfectly named but unneccessary former redirection page. A much better solution I´d think. Thanks for the work ... GELongstreet (talk) 22:35, 10 December 2015 (UTC)
- @GELongstreet, I understand that you want to move the page. However, a copy-and-paste move (which it appears that you did) is not the correct way to move a page. Can you revert your change, and move the page through proper channels? Either do a move through the Wikipedia move function, or if you cannot do that, use a requested move. Natg 19 (talk) 22:48, 10 December 2015 (UTC)
- Allright, move is technically no longer possible because of the changelog, so I`ll file a request. ... GELongstreet (talk) 23:08, 10 December 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks! Natg 19 (talk) 23:11, 10 December 2015 (UTC)
- You´re welcome, request is filed. GELongstreet (talk) 23:19, 10 December 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks! Natg 19 (talk) 23:11, 10 December 2015 (UTC)

Hi Natg 19 - I just thought I'd drop you a note to say I'd noticed your contributions and hard work and thought I'd drop you a message to say, well done - keep up the good work. Keep working as you are, spend a bit of time writing some articles and I think you'd make a great admin in the future (if that's something you're interested in!)
