:::Yes, it basically was an accusation that editors on the talk page must have been not only his current or former students, but perhaps even [https://www.routledge.com/The-Routledge-Handbook-on-Ecosocialism/Brownhill-Mauro-Giacomini-Isla-Lowy-Turner/p/book/9780367357290# Engel-Di Mauro] himself.

::::[[User:Davide King]] - First, who is Engel-Di Mauro, and why is there a problem with them? On the one hand, the allegation that one of the editors here is Engel or Di Mauro or whoever would be [[WP:HARASS|harassment]]. I had difficulty finding it because that exchange is halfway up the talk page, and the talk page is at 64K bytes now. (It was larger, but the bot has been archiving the oldest threads.) |
|||
::::At some point I think that the article is going to wind up at [[WP:AE|Arbitration Enforcement]] anyway. |
|||
::::I think that I am more likely to get something accomplished with regard to the list of Italian political parties. [[User:Robert McClenon|Robert McClenon]] ([[User talk:Robert McClenon#top|talk]]) 03:05, 26 January 2022 (UTC) |
|||
:::::Diffs: {{tq|"Maybe the reason Engel-Di Mauro keeps getting brought up is that he may an editor here, so I guess there could be a COIN issue as well, I don't know. [first diff] ... Or even an admiring current/former student of his, who can really know as there are dozens of editors, but stranger things have happened in the past. [second diff]"}} |
|||
:::::From the link to their name: {{tq|"Salvatore Engel-Di Mauro is Professor of Geography at SUNY New Paltz, and Chief Editor of ''Capitalism Nature Socialism''. His research areas include socialist histories, soil contamination processes, and urban food production. His latest books are on socialist states and environment and on urban agriculture and ecosocialism."}} See also the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard/Archive_349#The_journal_Capitalism_Nature_Socialism RSN discussion]. |
|||
:::::Anyway, that was what I thought too, and that is why I wanted to hear thoughts from someone like you if it was indeed problematic, and if there was starting to be a pattern of disruptive behavior (e.g. attempting to extend the RfC, which may have been in line with the rules, but with the article's history it may have been a way to game the system). I also agree with your comments on AE and [[List of Italian political parties]]. [[User:Davide King|Davide King]] ([[User talk:Davide King|talk]]) 15:21, 26 January 2022 (UTC) |

Question
Hi, you had offered to mediate the content dispute at United States Army Special Forces, and so I'm just enquiring if you still intend to do so? Obviously there is no sense of urgency as it's been two weeks since the disputed content was last reverted. If you are going to, I'll wait until I see your next comment or action at the article, as I'm also aware you are currently mediating another issue. Thanks - wolf 14:04, 9 November 2021 (UTC)

help for Anahita film
Hello, thank you for your announcement, please tell me the problem of Anahita movie so that I can solve it, just give a small explanation about this movie that this movie was among the ten best-selling movies of 2010 in Iran. The actors of this movie are Oscar winners The film is valuable, but because the links are Iranian, English-speaking Wikipedians may not notice this film. I feel this is the problem with this article, but if there is another problem, please tell me. i am an art journalist in iran and i made this article with complete confidence because i know the importance of films, but again, if you see a problem in this article, please guide me to fix it.thank you--Iranianbio (talk) 01:31, 20 November 2021 (UTC)

Mass killings under communist regimes's AfD (how to improve readability and summary style)
I appreciate and agree with what you wrote here. Again, I personally apologize for writing not just many comments but long ones too — I just really sucks at summarizing and I was being pretty frustrated by 'Keep' side's "per sources/notability" arguments, without addressing any NPOV, OR/SYNTH, and related issues (why the article does not suffer from them, and if it does, what is the solution for deletion as not a good solution?), which must be addressed in an AfD (as shown here), but I will try to avoid such long-term comments.
Is this sandbox structured well-enough (maybe I should change 2. to 1.4) to be readable? What is important to me is that this part, which is not too long (?), is read; everything else is simply a verification for my claims, and hopefully the closer will not need to read it full, as the first, relevant part will be enough for them.
Plus, do you suggest me to change my comment to simply Delete as a content (POV) fork and coatrack article, and insuperable and unworkable NPOV, mixed with OR/SYNTH and VERIFY issues. To read my full rationale, see sandbox
? Is that a good way at summary style for an AfD 'vote' and clear enough? Or is this better as more clear?
Thank you again. Davide King (talk) 23:54, 23 November 2021 (UTC)
What are your thoughts on 'Keep' voter reverting over two months stable lead to their favourite version in the middle of an AfD? From edit history, they should have been aware another 'Keep' voter reverted to their same favourite version and know it is not good practice to edit an article while the AfD is ongoing. Davide King (talk) 03:06, 24 November 2021 (UTC)
- User:Davide King - I think that some form of Delete with a concise statement that links to an essay is good. I will not give advice on exactly how to word the Delete. Robert McClenon (talk) 07:22, 24 November 2021 (UTC)
Thanks for this. "At this time it is clear that the article will be kept." I agree — the only way for a deletion is a super vote by admins because most users simply do not understand the issues (speaking of which, I think you did a good job in summary), though is it because you think they gave the better arguments or because the numbers are so overwhelmingly?
Wikipedia is not supposed to be a democracy, and I think arguments based on rationality and policies and guidelines hold more weight than the mere numbers (consensus is also based on policy and guidelines, not mere numbers), albeit it is silly to think admins do not consider this, even though in my 'elitist' view it is wrong because consensus is not based on 'voting' either, and our policies and guidelines are paramount — so if our arguments are stronger and policy violations are indeed proved by the admins, it should be deleted anyway even though we are clearly in minority by mere numbers. As long as it is not a clear 'Keep' and we return to 'No consensus', I will take that as a win, for our arguments and concerns would be legitimized, and hopefully there would be more respect and less insults at DRN to find a solution among us.
Thank you again for your time dedicated to this mess. I really hope in the end it will be worth it. Davide King (talk) 04:14, 1 December 2021 (UTC)
Dispute resolution help
Hello Robert! I found your name on the volunteers' list of dispute resolutions. I'd need a bit of assistance from you. It's been for quite some days that me and a couple of other editors have been involved into a technical discussion about the update process of a template. Most of us (if not all) were able to agree on the details of the update process until 1 user started suddenly vetoing it. Normally I believe I'd need to create a RfC for that, which would be a good thing not only for solving the dispute but also for hopefully getting more opinions on the update because currently we don't have a lot of users taking part in the discussion, but I've never had a chance to open one before so I'm unsure of my next steps. Can you please take a look at the current discussion and overall situation and guide me on my actions?
The discussions are happening here. Check Lua rewrite and Convert Chembox into Lua module. I'd really appreciate your help in this discussion because currently we're on a deadlock. Both parties agree that the update is needed but given that they disagree on a specific detail, each party is determined to stop everything just so the other party won't have the final word. This is a problem that has started since 2018 (if you read the discussions I mentioned above, you'll be able to see even the archived past discussions) and that needs a definitive answer as soon as possible because it's starting to have a rather global effect, affecting some small wikis which rely on EnWiki for technical support. (That's how I got involved. I'm a crat at SqWiki.) - Klein Muçi (talk) 00:52, 24 November 2021 (UTC)

I don't think you have been involved with this article or discussions surrounding it. I would appreciate your opinion on the articles talk page (ideally). It has recently been kept at AfD, though the keep rationale suggested that many contributors to the discussion believed the article and/or the sourcing was somewhat inadequate. The talk page has a section on clean up. I think I'm standing too close to the article to be able to make a meaningful (further) contribution , which is why I am asking for your unbiased eye to study the article, and to make recommendations. I trust your opinions. FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 16:19, 27 November 2021 (UTC)
- User:Timtrent - I will take another look at it within the next 36 hours and will provide an assessment. One of the questions that I am thinking about is whether the close should go to Deletion Review to request a Relist, because the article was swirling so much during the AFD that there wasn't one article being reviewed. My other comment is that it is mostly about her writings rather than about her, and much of the discussion of her writings either should be taken out or moved into articles about the books. Another possibility that I am thinking about is to identify portions of the article that are puffery, and submit an RFC to get rid of them. Robert McClenon (talk) 17:00, 27 November 2021 (UTC)
- During the AFD, I see that large portions were taken out, and then restored by two types of editors, those who might have been more of her flacks, and those who are just inclusionists. That is, we can't easily tell the good-faith editors from the bad-faith editors. The guideline to assume good faith does not apply. We can neither assume good faith nor assume bad faith, because we know that there were both good-faith and bad-faith editors. Robert McClenon (talk) 17:00, 27 November 2021 (UTC)
- More later.

Light-on-dark colour scheme dispute
You seem to have reopened this case. Was there a reason for it or was it inadvertent? Seemplez 17:53, 1 December 2021 (UTC)
- User:Seemplez - Sort of in between. The close is correct. However, there is something wrong with the way that the closed cases are being displayed, which is that the closer's summary of why they closed the case should be displayed, and nothing else. Some of the cases were not being displayed at all, which means that a template that is supposed to be a collapsetop was eating everything after it. I was in particular trying to ensure that the case summaries were all displayed, and that involved temporarily taking all of the close templates out, and then putting them back to see where the problem is. I then took a break from that because it was time to work out. I apologize for any confusion. You were right in closing it as not ready for DRN, but DRN became unready for a new case. Yuck. Robert McClenon (talk) 21:00, 1 December 2021 (UTC)
- Ah I see, what a hassle. If you want any help I'm free. Seemplez 21:06, 1 December 2021 (UTC)
- User:Seemplez - Yes. If you can figure out how to get the closed cases to display properly without eating each other, please do. Thank you. At this point we have one monster case followed by 3 or 4 closed cases, and I would like them to display as closed cases. Of course, the monster case is about communism and about communists behaving monstrously. Robert McClenon (talk) 21:34, 1 December 2021 (UTC)
- So I think I fixed it, see the template testing page and the two edited templates. I replaced however it was collapsing before with {{cot}} and {{cob}} and it seems to work fine now.
- I'm not sure what exactly broke it though. There was an edit to {{DRN archive top}} a few hours ago but I don't think it broke the collapsing. Seemplez 22:42, 1 December 2021 (UTC)
- I've got it! The table in {{DRN archive top}} isn't being closed with
|}
, so it's just swallowing everything that comes after it. - I guess the fix would be reverting {{DRN archive bottom}}'s merge to {{Archive top}}. Seemplez 22:55, 1 December 2021 (UTC)
- I've reverted {{DRN archive bottom}} and will add archive notices back to DRN. Seemplez 23:06, 1 December 2021 (UTC)

Draft:2024 Democratic Party presidential primaries
Hi Robert. Thank you for your comments on my 2024 Democratic Party presidential primary draft. I really appreciate it. I wanted to ask you a question about one of the comments you left for me: When you say to add "more additional information", what exactly do you mean by that?

MKuCR&DRN
Hi Robert, Admins panel advised us to continue DRN, and I would love you to see you as a mediator. However, I am not sure a current format of the discussion (a standard DRN format) is suitable for that. My rationale is as follows. The panel correctly outlined core article's problems. There problems are: the sources do not necessarily express majority view, and the sources may be used incorrectly. Not only I agree with that, I myself was maintaining that for many years ago. Therefore, the goal of this DRN should be (i) to identify core sources and (i) to come to an agreement on how they should be represented in the article. That discussion must include identification of a representative sample of sources, their detailed analysis, and finding a reasonable approach to their balanced representation. That process inevitably requires posting some quotes, references, etc., which does not fit a standard format of the discussion. In connection to that, I would like to know your opinion on how that non-standard discussion should be organised. Regards, Paul Siebert (talk) 23:46, 1 December 2021 (UTC)
- User:Paul Siebert - My answer at the article talk page may have answered your question, but if you have a plan for discussion that will lead to RFCs, you may present it either at the article talk page or at DRNMKUCR. I don't intend to conduct discussion there unless the objective is the development of an RFC. I am personally not convinced that an analysis of sources is likely to lead to an effective RFC, but you are welcome to present your plan. Robert McClenon (talk) 03:34, 4 December 2021 (UTC)
- Hi Robert,
- Are you still interested in moderating the dispute? It seems almost all users made their statements, and the discussion is spontaneously drifting to a "noisy" place. We need your help. Paul Siebert (talk) 22:02, 11 December 2021 (UTC)
- User:Paul Siebert - See my answers at the article talk page and at DRNMKUCR. I am working on statement 17. Robert McClenon (talk) 17:48, 13 December 2021 (UTC)
- Good. I am going to take a pause, and I will not post anything neither at DNMKUCR nor at MKuCR talk page until your 17th statement is posted. I would be grateful if you take into account the arguments presented in the "Bask and Forth section". I apologize in advance if this my reminder is redundant.

- Ribert, I have a question: what exactly that rule means:
- "Do not report any issue about the article at any conduct forum, such as WP:ANI or Arbitration Enforcement."
- Does it mean the article's issues or some issues related to behaviour of some third user (who is not a party of the dispute?? Paul Siebert (talk) 22:44, 16 December 2021 (UTC)
- User:Paul Siebert - Disruptive editing by an editor who is not a party to this dispute, such as vandalism, may be reported to a conduct forum. I have also tried to provide that clarification at DRNMKUCR. Robert McClenon (talk) 00:12, 17 December 2021 (UTC)
I find myself in a ridiculous situation: from one hand, the DR participants agreed not to report each other at AE, on another hand, the participants agreed not to make personal attacks. The claim that I ostensibly use a right of veto is an obvious PA, for Veto is an unconditional prohibition of something, which implies no explanations. Clearly these accusations are absolutely false, but since I promised not to report anybody, and I cannot react, it looks like I implicitly concede that the accusations are valid, thereby encouraging the attacker. I think you as a Moderator are expected to take a situation under your control. Best--Paul Siebert (talk) 01:54, 18 December 2021 (UTC)
WRT: Note that this RFC, and the article, are subject to Eastern Europe discretionary sanctions for disruptive editing of this RFC or this talk page or article. (You don't need to worry about discretionary sanctions if you observe Wikipedia policies and guidelines.)
Actually, no. A user cannot be subjected to sanctions unless they have been duly warned (for example, by getting (or placing) a DS template on a talk page). Therefore, it seems you brought unneeded drama by adding this statement.--Paul Siebert (talk) 18:01, 19 December 2021 (UTC)
- And I forgot to congratulate you (and all of us) with successfully finishing the first step of our work.
- That you for that, without you we would never be able to do that.--Paul Siebert (talk) 18:08, 19 December 2021 (UTC)
And one more point. During the DRN, we discussed the RfC about the article's topic, but the RfC title says "Structure". That is not what we were discussing, and that is misleading.--Paul Siebert (talk) 22:53, 19 December 2021 (UTC)
Hi. Actually I was the one who moved my own article back to draftspace. I was supposed to make a draft but I made a mistake of creating the article in mainspace first when it wasn't finished. Therefore I moved it back to draftspace since it wasn't ready. I feel since this is BLP this should go through AFC? Or can I just move it back to mainspace myself? Anyway, the article is ready for review now so would be grateful if you or someone else can look at it. -Imcdc (talk) 03:17, 4 December 2021 (UTC)

Hi there, could you please check Draft:Muddy (film), as you declined the AFC last time with a note that the film is unreleased and resubmit after its release. The film was released yesterday. Could you review it again?. Thank you Onmyway22 talk 06:22, 11 December 2021 (UTC)

The Union (comics)
I have create a new draft Draft:The Union (comics), as there is already an article with this name I am unable to move it through the normal process but there is an article that can fill that can replace the redirect page as long as it is seen as notable. I think it does qualify as there are currently 10 citations pointing to this with further citations available and possible expansions that could be made to the article.

Invitation to take part in a survey about medical topics on Wikipedia
Dear fellow editor,
I am Piotr Konieczny, a sociologist of new media at Hanyang University (and User:Piotrus on Wikipedia). I would like to better understand Wikipedia's volunteers who edit medical topics, many associated with the WikiProject Medicine, and known to create some of the highest quality content on Wikipedia. I hope that the lessons I can learn from you that I will present to the academic audience will benefit both the WikiProject Medicine (improving your understanding of yourself and helping to promote it and attract new volunteers) and the wider world of medical volunteering and academia. Open access copy of the resulting research will be made available at WikiProject's Medicine upon the completion of the project.
All questions are optional. The survey is divided into 4 parts: 1 - Brief description of yourself; 2 - Questions about your volunteering; 3 - Questions about WikiProject Medicine and 4 - Questions about Wikipedia's coverage of medical topics.
Please note that by filling out this questionnaire, you consent to participate in this research. The survey is anonymous and all personal details relevant to your experience will be kept private and will not be transferred to any third party.
I appreciate your support of this research and thank you in advance for taking the time to participate and share your experiences! If you have any questions at all, please feel free to contact me at my Wikipedia user page or through my email listed on the survey page (or by Wikipedia email this user function).
The survey is accessible through the LINK HERE.

No RfC close for NFF
(lamenting) Thirty days and we couldn't get a close on our NFF RfC that took us like a month to draft. Platonk (talk) 03:39, 18 December 2021 (UTC)
- User:Platonk - I think that you misunderstand what just happened. It appears that Legobot removed the RFC tag from the RFC after 30 days. That always happens; it is supposed to do that. A close would not have been in order while the 30 days were still running (except for a snow close). Now that the RFC is no longer open, one of us, or anyone, can request a formal close at Requests for Closure. I will do that within 48 hours if no one else has done it. Robert McClenon (talk) 05:19, 18 December 2021 (UTC)
- Excellent. Thank you for setting me straight. Platonk (talk) 05:29, 18 December 2021 (UTC)
- I have requested closure at Requests for Closure. It may be listed for several days before an admin (or a non-admin closer) decides to look at it and close it, but listing it was the next step, and closing it is the step after that, by the closer. Robert McClenon (talk) 06:58, 19 December 2021 (UTC)
- Close got done. Well that was a complete waste of our time. Platonk (talk) 22:01, 20 December 2021 (UTC)
- User:Platonk - Well, I intend to continue to interpret the guideline exactly as it is written, which is that films that are in production or have completed production, but have not been released, are only notable if production itself has been notable. That is what it has said since 2008. We tried to improve the wording to make it clearer, but a literal reading is that Option 0 and Option 1 say the same thing, so I intend to continue to decline unreleased films, and am ready to take them to AFD. If they had wanted to change the wording, they would have changed the wording. Robert McClenon (talk) 22:16, 20 December 2021 (UTC)
- I agree with you that 0 and 1 have the same meaning. The voters for 1 & 2 both believed that rewording was necessary and neither side won that fight. Those that voted 0 clearly have had no experience with these toss-a-coin AfDs. You can get away with rejecting these at AfC because you're an experienced long-term editor. I'm newly at AfC and all I see are things I want to decline. Since I'm 'on probation' as all new AfC reviewers are, I've been trying to find something, anything, I can accept. (buzzer sound) Haven't yet. Maybe I'm just not cut out for that post. Oh, and apparently some editors are judged by how many times their !votes match AfD closing outcomes, so I'll probably skip voting on upcoming-film AfDs, too.

- As a suggestion, after the dust settles, some time in the future, maybe try to submit your own RfC to change a small portion of NFF to clarify it. No discussions with "the other side" (all that did was divide the "please change it" voters so we lost to the "no-creep" voters). Just a one-sided "Hey people, whatdya think about this change?" If you've waited 13 years to get it clarified, and an overhaul isn't in the works, then maybe baby steps over time will get it where it needs to go. And you'll know when you get there because the AfDs will settle down. (Or instead of straight to RfC, change the text, if necessary then BRD-discuss, then RfC.) Platonk (talk) 22:51, 20 December 2021 (UTC)
- User:Platonk - I think that changing the text at this point would be considered disruptive, against consensus, because there has already been an RFC. I agree that those who favored Option 1 as No Creep had not been familiar with the contentious AFCs and AFDs. Robert McClenon (talk) 23:18, 20 December 2021 (UTC)

Ahh you are encountering Sleeper accounts too?
Coming from the AFD I noted you have had your share of engaging with Sleeper accounts, I though it was just me observing the trend. Infact take a look at this. I just notified reviewers about this new trend. Celestina007 (talk) 23:49, 18 December 2021 (UTC)
- Well, yes, User:Celestina007, I have encountered sleeper accounts from time to time. However, the most recent one that I mentioned, to which you are probably referring, is a legitimate account in its own strange way. It is Aslah K, and is one of the owners of Maktoob Media. He shouldn't have moved the draft on his company into article space, but he had a right to create an account and then a right not to edit until he saw anything to edit. Maybe he is a bear. We know that some bears hibernate. Negar10 is a different matter. They are not a sleeper, but they don't seem to be a separate account for a separate person. They may really be Samansadeghy, and I will let the CheckUsers check that. Yes, we have sleepers, including Middle Eastern sleepers. Robert McClenon (talk) 00:12, 19 December 2021 (UTC)

Your view on Mount Ararat.
I applied for a third opinion. First of all, Ararat Mountain is a mountain belonging to Turkey. but in the article on Mount Ararat, an attempt was made to show the mountain as if it belonged to Armenia. 1. A photo taken from Armenia is placed at the beginning of the article. 2. Under the title of the article, the name is written in armenian font. 3. Although the mountain belongs to Turkey, the Turkish local name is written at the end. In this version of the article, at first glance, it has the impression that the mountain belongs to Armenia. it's like russians taking photos of alaska from their own land and editing wikipedia. This situation may seem strange to you, but Armenians want the mountain of Ararat in themselves. so the article is corrupted like this. I want a third opinion from you for the correction of the contributions that seem to belong to Armenia on Mount Ararat.

Draft:Krishn Charan
Hi Robert. Since you do lots of reviewing of drafts, you might have come across something like this before. What's the best way to deal with Draft:Krishn Charan? It looks like the creator started working on it and then stopped a week later, only to re-create the same content directly in the mainspace about two months later instead of moving the draft; so, there's now a draft that's not really needed, unless perhaps the result of the AfD turns out to be draftify. -- Marchjuly (talk) 06:58, 24 December 2021 (UTC)
- User:Marchjuly - Creating the same article both in draft space and in article space is normally not an oversight, but done on purpose. Its objective is to game the system by preventing New Page Reviewers from moving the article into draft space. The draft should be left alone. A draft should not be deleted simply because an article exists. In that case, the draft should be redirected (if the article is valid). In this case, just leave the draft alone. If the article is deleted, the draft can be left standing. If the article is kept, the draft should be redirected to the article (not deleted). Robert McClenon (talk) 07:37, 24 December 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks for the clarification Robert. Do you think the existence of the draft should be mentioned in the AfD? -- Marchjuly (talk) 07:41, 24 December 2021 (UTC)
- User:Marchjuly - Yes, mention it. By the way, it happens often enough that I have a template for the purpose, {{twocopies}}. Robert McClenon (talk) 07:47, 24 December 2021 (UTC)

What are you doing?
Donough O'Brien is not the Earl of Thomond. Why did you move the draft page to this erroneous title you have made up? Please change it back to the original page name. SKIBLY101 2:07 GMT 30/12/2021
- User:SKIBLY101 - Please specify how to disambiguate the draft page. There were multiple Donough O'Briens, including the 2d and 4th earls. Also, please check his dates of birth and death. The dates in the article are not the dates in the notation of the portrait. Robert McClenon (talk) 02:32, 30 December 2021 (UTC)
The death date being different you mean? The birth is the same. The death date is of 1634 is stated in two different pages of "History of the O'Briens from Brian Boroimhe, AD. 1000 to AD. 1945" which are linked. I may have made an error in naming the file, as errors are always made (you might know), but unfortunately I can't edit that one. Since your going around using your powers of changing names of articles for bad, use it for good on this article and change it to 1265. I don't know what you mean by specify how to disambiguate the draft page. "Sir Donough O'Brien" is in itself a unique article name which functioned normally, if you want to make it more specific you could say Sir Donough O'Brien (died 1634) or Sir Donough O'Brien (born 1595). By the way can you move the article back from this very specific aristocratic title with a very specific meaning which you have sloppily moved it to? Don't try to take the high-ground and blame me for that, it's your own sloppiness alone to blame for that action. The fact that you are aware of this and have still not changed it only shows the disdain and disrespect you have for the topic you are exercising such powers on. Seeing a bunch of similar names doesn't justify what you did, you didn't even check the genealogy or the succession. I know this might not mean much to you, but to people who actually have any knowledge in these topics it does. And I see you added another box to the page saying it has "multiple issues", and then stating one single non-issue. You have completely ignored the new sources I have added, the page has been clearly improved. SKIBLY101 3:06 GMT 30/12/2021
- Dear Robert_McClenon. I see you are an eminent Wikipedian with almost 200,000 edits, autopatrol and other rights, doing important work that allows us all to go on with Wikipedia. Be assured that I deeply respect you as such and are thankful for your hard work. I am just a newby dabbling around in Irish history articles. However, the user User:SKIBLY101 essentialy is right and you might have just once gone a bit too fast. The article for the 5th Earl of Thomond exists and can be found at Henry O'Brien, 5th Earl of Thomond. This Sir Donough is somebody else. I am sure you will know how to handle this correctly. Respectfully yours, with many thanks and best regards, Johannes Schade (talk) 04:25, 30 December 2021 (UTC)
Review Request
Hi Mr.McClenon,
Thank you for your prompt review and feedback for the Draft:HoYoLAB! After reading the miHoYo page, I tend to consider that the HoYoLAB should become a separate page from miHoYo. It is true that miHoYo is the company that developed this website, but the HoYoLAB itself is more likely to be a free online community independent from the company. We talked about games, animations, comics, and all other off-topic content in LAB so I feel like this place should be noted on Wikipedia.
The other products by miHoYo all have their independent pages, such as Honkai Impact 3rd and Genshin Impact, and therefore I consider submitting a new page instead of merging the HoYoLAB related content into the existing article of miHoYo as a better solution.
Thank you for your perusal. Please kindly review it again and let us know about your feedback or if there is still any problem.
Looking forward to hearing from you soon and wish you and your team a nice day!

Hi there. I've been deleting huge unsourced chunks of Shubh Laabh - Aapkey Ghar Mein for a few days. Today, an editor moved text from Draft:Shubh Laabh - Aapkey Ghar Mein into the mainspace article. I didn't know there was a draft too. I see you recently rejected the draft. Should the draft be deleted, or should the poorly-sourced mainspace article be sent back to draft? Thanks! Magnolia677 (talk) 11:45, 7 January 2022 (UTC)
- User:Magnolia677 - Well, first, drafts should not be deleted on account of the existence of articles, but redirected to the article. The idea that a draft should be deleted because of an article is a persistent myth. Second, at this point, I think that moving the article back into draft space would be move-warring. Third, I am inclined to think that the article should be nominated for deletion, noting that the draft exists and needs improvement. I will take a look at it in the next 12 hours.

Draft:Flash (Japanese magazine)
Hi, I read your comment of Draft:Flash (Japanese magazine). Your question is that "if this draft is accepted, an entry will need to be added to the disambiguation page for the primary name. / The disambiguation page for the primary name is Flash (disambiguation)", right? I feel this question is very complexed. I named this article as "FLASH, a Japanese weekly magazine". But Dan arndt (talk · contribs) renamed the article.[1] So the article name did ambiguated. I once added a internal link to the disambiguation page. But Swpb (talk · contribs) removed the link.[2] So I suppose that the article had better to named as "FLASH, a Japanese weekly magazine", and it had better to add a internal link to the disambiguation page. If you could help me to add the link, please undo the edition of User:Swpb, thank you. UikiHedeo (talk) 00:32, 8 January 2022 (UTC)

- User:UikiHedeo - Please ask for advice at the Teahouse or at WikiProject Japan. However, I think that the title should be either Draft:Flash (Japanese magazine) or Flash (Japanese magazine). Robert McClenon (talk) 15:56, 11 January 2022 (UTC)
- Thank you for your opinion about the article title. I understand that. In other points, you don't matter me move the article to the original place? I don't like spent times in the Teahouse. The "anonymous" not always have interested in or know much about what I want to write in wikipedia, Dont't they? If YOU don't matter to I move the article any more, I want to do that. Because I already worked hard and added much sentences. that is sufficient to persist the article get enough credibility, I think. — Preceding unsigned comment added by UikiHedeo (talk • contribs) 06:10, 12 January 2022 (UTC)

- I am sorry for my poor English expression ability. Now I want to ask you that am I still not allowed to move the draft back to its original place and to add an internal link to the Flash (disambiguation) article? UikiHedeo (talk) 13:24, 11 January 2022 (UTC)

seeking followup on 2018 Talk page of "Robert's Rules of Order" article
I also posted the following on talk - I started a discussion in "Robert's Rules of Order" talk. Being new to Wikipedia editing, I did not know to look at prior year's talks. When I did notice the 2018 talk of that article, I saw that the discussion I had initiated was pretty much a repeat of the 2018 discussion you were heavily involved with. ... Why did the move towards correcting the ROR article lede stop abruptly mid June 2018 ??? I would like your [ Sakuranohi's ] suggested ROR lede (or something like that) to be adopted. ... Natefin (talk) 14:06, 8 January 2022 (UTC)
- User:Natefin - There was a dispute about Robert's Rules of Order at DRN in March 2018. The moderated discussion took place at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Dispute_resolution_noticeboard/Archive_162#Talk:Robert%2527s_Rules_of_Order, and the moderated discussion concluded with the posting of a Request for Comments. The Request for Comments is at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Robert%27s_Rules_of_Order/Archives/2018#RFC_on_Lede and was indecisive, with too little participation in the RFC and no formal closure. I was asked why the discussion ended in June 2018. The answer appears to be that it ended because it ended. Editors stopped discussing it. I think that I have no further knowledge of the matter. Robert McClenon (talk) 14:27, 8 January 2022 (UTC)
- User:Natefin I felt that it was obvious that the page was being abused for the interests of RONR, but I received little support and the moderation drew little interest. There was a minor and grudging concession to me (an offer to make a peripheral page for ROR variants) but not the rollback of the coopting of the Robert's Rules of Order page for the promotional purposes of RONR and robertsrules.com. I ran out of steam and moved on to other things, disappointed in the Wikipedia process. It seems I have a couple of allies now, and may be willing to reengage.

RfC question
Did you mean that option "C" means keeping status quo on the page here? I am not sure. Thank you, My very best wishes (talk) 15:38, 11 January 2022 (UTC)
- User:My very best wishes - I think so. At least, keeping the status quo is consistent with C. I think that if Option C is the consensus, then the article will end up at Arbitration Enforcement, but I think that the article will end up at Arbitration Enforcement anyway because I don't see any real effort to collaborate. Robert McClenon (talk) 15:51, 11 January 2022 (UTC)
- Thank you! I corrected my vote accordingly. I saw your DRNB comment [3]. WP:AE? Well, I do not know, but the endless discussions on talk are indeed concerning [4]. Is that a productive collaboration to improve the page? Definitely not. My very best wishes (talk) 16:26, 11 January 2022 (UTC)
- Yes, I now agree that it needs a fix, possibly by admins at WP:AE. I tried to talk with participants but now will leave this page to them. This is a ridiculous waste of time. Even protecting this page forever (as was done in the past) would probably be a positive solution. My very best wishes (talk) 18:58, 18 January 2022 (UTC)

- Please accept my apology for modifying your edit. I had to post a separate comment, you are right. I did just that when someone reverted my edit soon after. Thanks, My very best wishes (talk) 15:53, 23 January 2022 (UTC)
- User:My very best wishes - Read the talk page guidelines at least one more time, to understand what you are not supposed to do. I am not sure from your apology whether you understand the nature of your mistake. You may change the content of an article, draft, or project page to reflect changes, but this was a signed comment. Even if my count had been wrong, you would not have been justified in changing it, but in noting the correction. Maybe you were doing article-page thinking, but you weren't on an article. Robert McClenon (talk) 00:36, 24 January 2022 (UTC)
- Thank you. Sure, I know this rule. But I thought you would never object to such trivial edit (11-1=10). I would not object if anyone modified my edit in such way. Happy editing, My very best wishes (talk) 00:27, 25 January 2022 (UTC)
- User:My very best wishes - It wasn't a trivial edit. My tabulation was signed and timestamped. It would have been trivial in project space, in draft space, or in article space, if the edit summary gave an indication of why the change was made. It isn't trivial to change a number in a signed check, and it isn't trivial to change a number in a signed votecount. Robert McClenon (talk) 01:32, 25 January 2022 (UTC)
- Sorry, my bad. This is probably because I do not take my involvement in WP very seriously. My very best wishes (talk) 01:46, 25 January 2022 (UTC)

Draft duplicate
Hello Robert,
I posted an iqos draft back in December (I am a PMI employee and you can see my declaration on the talk page). A few days later someone else posted another (upper-cased) IQOS draft which you reviewed and declined. Since you had put up a link on my draft I went to investigate. I asked the user if they were from the company and they have not responded. Since the declined draft seems to be a Google translation of the Russian IQOS entry I enquired internally and there was no COI editing. To the best of my knowledge, this draft was submitted by a member of the public.
Most of the relevant sources that are presented in this (upper-cased) IQOS draft were used in mine as well so I wonder if there is still an actual need to merge? Happy to take your advice on this.
On a related note, you added a paid contributions tag even though I thought I had properly declared my COI on the Talk page. Did I miss anything on that side?
Thank you for your input and hope you have a lovely day.
--Aphis Marta (talk) 09:11, 14 January 2022 (UTC)
- User:Aphis Marta - I added a {{paid}} tag to your draft so that other reviewers will not have to look at your talk page. Other than that, I haven't reviewed either draft in the past week. Robert McClenon (talk) 17:08, 14 January 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks for your quick reply. I'll leave a similar note on the article's talk page indicating why the merge is not needed. Hope it's ok with you. Have a lovely day Aphis Marta (talk) 09:49, 18 January 2022 (UTC)
Is Memories (upcoming film) satisfies WP:NFF ?
Hi there, Could you please check the article about an upcoming film which has no production details and release date information? So before doing an AfD/Draftify, just ask your suggestion as you are much experienced. Hope for the reply. Thank you Onmyway22 talk 14:29, 14 January 2022 (UTC)
- User:Onmyway22 - I have nominated the film for deletion. One possible result will be draftification. Robert McClenon (talk) 22:59, 16 January 2022 (UTC)
Feedback Request: Draft Julia Bentley (singer)
Hi, you commented on my first submission by suggesting to link to a primary page, but that primary page you list is a different person. Currently there are no articles on Julia Bentley (singer). Please let me know how to proceed. Thx Andreaantico (talk) 19:27, 14 January 2022 (UTC)
- User:Andreaantico - Yes. Julia Bentley is a different person, a diplomat. Exactly. That is why I disambiguated Draft:Julia Bentley (singer). So if the draft on the singer is accepted, a hatnote should be put at the top of the page about the diplomat. I did not review the draft on the singer in detail, which is still waiting for review. If you have questions about why I made this comment, you may look up Hatnotes, or may ask for advice about hatnotes, or about the review process, at the Teahouse. Otherwise, wait for another reviewer to review the draft. Robert McClenon (talk) 02:22, 16 January 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for your message regarding Political Game Theory. I was unaware of this page's continued existence.

User accusing others of being an academic in incognito or their students without any evidence
This was very good, but I did not want to take any more space, so I am posting it here, if you do not mind. The same user who opened a deprecated RFC/U to essentially exclude Siebert and I (of course, they also included themselves but they had no choice) is now positing conspiracy theories that some users involved there are or must be Engel-Di Mauro or one of his students or admirers (?!).12 In fact, I had no idea of them until I found one of their articles through Google Scholar. That is why I wish you or someone should moderate the discussion on the talk page because I do not really want to take anyone for conduct issues but what am I supposed to do? Davide King (talk) 23:31, 25 January 2022 (UTC)
- User:Davide King - I think that I don't understand. You have provided diffs, but I am still not sure what the issue is. I see a comment about Engel-Di Mauro, and I don't know who they are. It appears that you may be saying that Nug has implied that someone here is a student of theirs. That comment is so indirect that I would suggest disregarding it. Who is Engel-Di Mauro?
- You are again asking me to act as a moderator. A moderator of what? Of the article talk page Talk:Mass killings under communist regimes??? That is not possible. That is an article talk page and is open to all editors, and is not subject to moderation. If you are suggesting that a moderated discussion with a specific editor would be useful, first you will need to get them to agree to moderated discussion. Both you are User:Paul Siebert seemed to think that I had some ability to get some other editor to engage in some sort of discussion. I don't either have the de jure power or that de facto power. Robert McClenon (talk) 02:04, 26 January 2022 (UTC)
- I haven't even been trying to follow the discussion at the MKUCR talk page, because it is too busy, and I don't plan to try to follow the discussion, let alone to manage or moderate it.
- If you think that Nug, or someone else, has engaged in questionable conduct, such as casting aspersions, you may report them at Arbitration Enforcement, after reading the boomerang essay again. I don't see a personal attack or other conduct issue, but maybe I have missed something. Remember that if you file a report at Arbitration Enforcement, you will also be discussed. Do you think that there has been a conduct issue? What I see is very long and unproductive discussion. Robert McClenon (talk) 02:04, 26 January 2022 (UTC)
- I think that there are too many editors involved for moderated discussion to be useful. I don't see how moderated discussion with one or two or three editors will be useful either. What do you want to achieve by moderated discussion of what? Robert McClenon (talk) 02:04, 26 January 2022 (UTC)
- Yes, it basically was an accusation that editors on the talk page must have been not only his current or former students, but perhaps even Engel-Di Mauro himself. I just wanted to know what you thought about it, if you thought it was a personal attack or a conduct issue, precisely because I do not want to take it to AE for the reasons you outlined but I am also really tired of some behavior, though perhaps it is not as disruptive as it appears to me, and I may be at fault for replying still. I just think you have been really good and you have done more than enough, I just wish there was a way to keep us focused and get things done to fix the article (agree on source types, outline, and its name), and I know what you wrote at the DRN and is why I did not write you further here, so do not take that seriously — it was more of a wish because you have been very good for making some progress. So sorry if I wasted your time, all this is stressing me out. Davide King (talk) 02:44, 26 January 2022 (UTC)
- User:Davide King - First, who is Engel-Di Mauro, and why is there a problem with them? On the one hand, the allegation that one of the editors here is Engel or Di Mauro or whoever would be harassment. I had difficulty finding it because that exchange is halfway up the talk page, and the talk page is at 64K bytes now. (It was larger, but the bot has been archiving the oldest threads.)
- At some point I think that the article is going to wind up at Arbitration Enforcement anyway.
- I think that I am more likely to get something accomplished with regard to the list of Italian political parties. Robert McClenon (talk) 03:05, 26 January 2022 (UTC)
- Diffs:
"Maybe the reason Engel-Di Mauro keeps getting brought up is that he may an editor here, so I guess there could be a COIN issue as well, I don't know. [first diff] ... Or even an admiring current/former student of his, who can really know as there are dozens of editors, but stranger things have happened in the past. [second diff]"
- From the link to their name:
"Salvatore Engel-Di Mauro is Professor of Geography at SUNY New Paltz, and Chief Editor of Capitalism Nature Socialism. His research areas include socialist histories, soil contamination processes, and urban food production. His latest books are on socialist states and environment and on urban agriculture and ecosocialism."
See also the RSN discussion. - Anyway, that was what I thought too, and that is why I wanted to hear thoughts from someone like you if it was indeed problematic, and if there was starting to be a pattern of disruptive behavior (e.g. attempting to extend the RfC, which may have been in line with the rules, but with the article's history it may have been a way to game the system). I also agree with your comments on AE and List of Italian political parties. Davide King (talk) 15:21, 26 January 2022 (UTC)
- Diffs:
- Yes, it basically was an accusation that editors on the talk page must have been not only his current or former students, but perhaps even Engel-Di Mauro himself.
