How too...
Hey Favonian, long time no talk. ;) I was curious about a situation I ran into. I was trying to move a page (Castelo de Chaves), but I couldn't since the name I wanted already existed. When I tried to follow that link, I found that it was a link buried within the article on Chaves, Portugal, which I was totally surprised in discovering. How is this possible? Further, should I follow any particular process to have article on the castle delinked from the article on the municipality? Appreciate whatever info or suggestions you could provide. ruben jc ZEORYMER (talk) 11:17, 31 March 2016 (UTC)
- Hi, Zeorymer. Does indeed sound strange, but to diagnose the problem properly, I need to know the proposed destination of the page move. Favonian (talk) 11:22, 31 March 2016 (UTC)
- Never mind, I figured it out by analogy with your recent page moves: we are talking about Castle of Chaves which currently redirects to the article about the town. I'll remove the redirect, enabling you to move the article. Favonian (talk) 11:30, 31 March 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks. That is it entirely. I wanted to move Castelo de Chaves to the English equivalent (i.e. Castle of Chaves). As ever, you have been a great assist. ruben jc ZEORYMER (talk) 11:35, 31 March 2016 (UTC)
User attacking you
New editor User talk:SGK JamesBWatson SUPREME is engaging in a fit of vandalism, among other things he created a page (I speedied it & it's been zapped) accusing you of criminal acts. Thought you should know. JamesG5 (talk) 08:51, 1 April 2016 (UTC)
- Oh, I know, but thanks anyway. At least I'm not alone. The overcompensating little runt has a shit list a good deal longer than his – oh, well, never mind. Favonian (talk) 08:53, 1 April 2016 (UTC)

Your opinion
I believe there is something odd going on at the Battle of Mu'tah article. I have seen 3 different editors remove referenced information from the infobox[1], while completely ignoring the discussion which I started 12 March 2016.

None of whom can seem to find the article talk page. I'm not wanting to push the SPI button, just yet. Your thoughts? --Kansas Bear (talk) 18:52, 5 April 2016 (UTC)
- Seems likely. Not quite WP:DUCKy so, tedious though it is, you'll need to submit an SPI. Favonian (talk) 18:59, 5 April 2016 (UTC)
Antonio Canova Nationality
Hi Favonian! I would kindly ask you if you can give your opinion here [[2]]. It is a talk about Canova ethnicity/nationality. The talk got a bit tumultuous, so a user asked for a third opinion. Since you are experienced in this field, it would be a pleasure if you join the talk :)--Walter J. Rotelmayer (talk) 09:14, 7 April 2016 (UTC)
Aww, shucks!
Looks like my talk page is protected yet again. I typically prefer it left unprotected so that vandals and trolls will just trash my talk page instead of doing it to somebody else. But, given the fact that it's probably less of a hassle to have it protected right now, I'll be okay with it :-P. Thanks for having my back. Cheers, and onward! ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 21:58, 9 April 2016 (UTC)
- No problem. Should you decide to come over to The Dark Side, this will become a regular occurrence. Favonian (talk) 22:00, 9 April 2016 (UTC)
- I've been considering asking for the power of the force, but I feel like I need to wait until August/September. That way, it'll be about a year since my first RFA (I withdrew due to the opposition for lack of content creation, something I've long since fixed), and editors won't scream that my second RFA is a "mad dash for adminship", that I'm "admin hungry", or whatever it is that they say. I really don't want to wait, but I know that I should. Oh well... :-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 22:06, 9 April 2016 (UTC)
Hi
OK, SORRY. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ~~(…MA.Tay.CA…)~~ (talk • contribs) 15:42, 10 April 2016 (UTC)
Hi, I saw your user pages with all those badges, I was hoping if you can share your views about an article which has been proposed for deletion here. I'm asking this because it seems to me that the article do have notable references but the sequence of activities seems that a couple of editors might just want to delete it out of vandalism. Esparami (talk) 04:25, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
- In spite of the badges, I don't have an educated opinion on the article in question. Do, however, be careful about making accusations of vandalism. The word has a very specific meaning on Wikipedia (WP:VANDALISM), and spurious accusations are considered personal attacks – a blockable offense. Favonian (talk) 17:13, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
Sufficiently funny
LOL. Just had to get around to letting you know as every time I scroll down Sanders's talk I run across it: "Not done: Insufficiently funny". I laugh every time. Warm greetings and best wishes to you and anyone that spreads good cheer around this so often dreary place. Best, Gandy Gandydancer (talk) 17:53, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
- The same to you! This year's campaign does offer its share of laughing moments. Favonian (talk) 17:55, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
Nice... ;-)
Nice catch and swift blocking of Editing Cosmic Stories and Stirring Science Stories. Thanks for doing that so quickly. Shoot, you beat me to reporting it! :-D ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 08:11, 15 April 2016 (UTC)
- Hope you feel honored by all the attention this specimen is bestowing on you. :P Favonian (talk) 08:18, 15 April 2016 (UTC)
A barnstar for you!

The Admin's Barnstar |
Favonian, I can't thank you enough and give you the number of fist bumps that you deserve for your diligence with watching the AIV reports page, and your quick and attentive efforts in blocking the sock puppet accounts that have been repeatedly (attempting) to cause havok. Your dedication has not only saved a lot of frustration and headache by other users, but has kept Wikipedia protected from harm. I might run for RFA again this August; I hope that I become as diligent of an Administrator as you have been. Props, man. :-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 08:20, 15 April 2016 (UTC) |
Thanks
I guess I have finally 'earned' my place as a recent change patroller huh?--Cahk (talk) 09:10, 15 April 2016 (UTC)
