You were, apparently, selected as my mentor in the Newcomers Program recently started on a trial basis. Allow me to offer my condolences in that regard. I am not sure how many you were given to mentor but I will endeavor to outperform them all in difficulty (tongue in cheek). If I may ask a question, what is your focus here within the encyclopedia? Do you have a favorite genre or subject to edit? Perhaps a specific type of edit? --ARoseWolf 15:49, 10 May 2021 (UTC)

@ARoseWolf: Hello! I see you are trying out Special:Homepage. I signed up for mentoring on Wikipedia:Growth Team features/Mentor list.
To answer your questions, there does not seem to be a way to know how many mentees I have. My major focus right now is closing discussions, though that could shift. ~ Aseleste (t, e | c, l) 06:57, 11 May 2021 (UTC)
  • That is a very important focus. We need good and consistent closers. Yes, I'm testing it out for the project. Hopefully they will be able to open it up to new members soon. --ARoseWolf 12:26, 11 May 2021 (UTC)

I see you have already added categories in Special:Diff/1022804179, so I think you have figured it out yourself. ~ Aseleste (t, e | c, l) 23:01, 12 May 2021 (UTC)

move of DHSC

RESOLVED
~ Aseleste (t, e | c, l) 12:18, 16 May 2021 (UTC)

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.


Hi, before requesting an official "move review", I will do what the page advises me to do:

"Before requesting a move review: please attempt to discuss the matter with the closer of the page move discussion on the closer's talk page."

Basically 3 arguments were used to move the page:

  1. The suggested target is the common uncluttered name that is consistent with the names of other football clubs in the Netherlands.
    Nonsense
    So out of 92 teams from 86 clubs only 10 use VV. Not what I would define as "common uncluttered" and "consistent with the names of other football clubs". If you continue to lower tiers you probably find more "VV's", but it will never become "common".
  2. VV DHSC is also official.
    No it's not official. Clubs are listed by their official (statuary) name at the KvK. It clearly shows the official name is "Dos Holland Stichtse Boys Combinatie", abbreviated as DHSC. There is no mentioning of "VV".
  3. See club's website.
    The website consistantly speaks of "DHSC" and not of "VV DHSC". The only mentioning of "VV" is in the URL of the clubs website. However there's a logical reason, www.dhsc.nl is already taken, so they couldn't use the URL with the proper name.

All in all, 3 reasons which are false. In all 3 cases the opposite is true. The move is therefore unjustified and should be reverted. --Sb008 (talk) 02:59, 15 May 2021 (UTC)

@Sb008: For 2 and 3, those arguments are ignored since using wp:official names is not the policy, so the only considered reason when closing is 1. Your rebuttal to 1 seems reasonable though, but before I take further actions, I would like to know what the prefix "VV" means. ~ Aseleste (t, e | c, l) 03:16, 15 May 2021 (UTC)
VV means Voetbal Vereniging, the Dutch equivalent of FC (Football Club). And as far as argument 2 and 3 are concerned. "VV DHSC" is claimed to be official, where it isn't official, it's not even common. So the claim is false. And refering to the website is another false claim, since the club doesn't use "VV DHSC". So argument 2 and 3 can't be igbnored. Wiki is first of all about facts, and false claims are anything but facts. So the requestors argument 2 and 3 should not have been considered in the move, but they should certainly be considered in undoing the move because they prove argument 2 and 3 are false claims. Or are you telling me that we consider lies and ignore facts which prove it to be lies? Or to put it simple, if I claim your first name is officially Igor, and you show your birth certificate proving your first name isn't officially Igor, we gonna call you Igor anyway. After all, we ignore the proof since using official names is not a policy, we rather use fantasy names. --Sb008 (talk) 03:37, 15 May 2021 (UTC)
@Sb008: Thanks for explaining "VV". To me, wp:official names just mean the name should be considered as a possibility but not be an argument for moving and not moving. Anyway, this does not matter since I will now undo the close and relist based on 1 raised above. You will probably want to express your opinion there. ~ Aseleste (t, e | c, l) 03:51, 15 May 2021 (UTC)

Ok User:Aseleste, thanks for improving me as I am not that experienced. ~ Jogesh 69 (talk) 15:24, 17 May 2021 (UTC)

FYI
 – See also User talk:Jogesh 69#Speedy deletion converted to PROD: Biswanath Jnan Bharati School (permalink).
@Jogesh 69: You are welcome! I would suggest reading WP:CSD carefully every time you tag an article. Here is my feedback:
  • WP:A7 - Not applicable to schools.
  • WP:A11 - Schools are unlikely things that are made up in a short amount of time.
  • WP:G2 - There is nothing in the page indicating that the page is a test.
If the article is not eligible for WP:CSD, consider using WP:PROD or WP:AfD instead. Thanks! ~ Aseleste (t, e | c, l) 06:43, 18 May 2021 (UTC)

Closure of the move request at Talk:Video game piracy

~ Aseleste (t, e | c, l) 09:31, 27 May 2021 (UTC)

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

Hello,

On 23 April 2021 you closed the move request on the article Video game piracy. I disagree with your closure. The people opposing it, in my opinion, did not give sufficient reasoning as to why it should not be moved. They also did not answer questions I asked regarding their comments. Please can you explain why you closed it when the discussion was ongoing? Thanks, DesertPipeline (talk) 12:14, 20 May 2021 (UTC)

Addendum: Also, the common name policy states this: "Ambiguous or inaccurate names for the article subject, as determined in reliable sources, are often avoided even though they may be more frequently used by reliable sources." I feel like this should be taken into consideration regarding the name of this article, and other articles which use the word "piracy" in this way. DesertPipeline (talk) 12:33, 20 May 2021 (UTC)

(Sorry for the slow response, this took some time to write.) @DesertPipeline: The criteria for titles are wp:criteria. The arguments in the discussion were:
Arguments for moving
Arguments for not moving
The arguments for not moving were stronger so I closed the discussion as not moved. Even if this were closed as no consensus, the title would have stayed at Video game piracy as it is the stable title per wp:threeoutcomes.
As for whether the discussion is ongoing, it seem unlikely since the last question was asked six days before the closure without a response. They are not obligated to response. ~ Aseleste (t, e | c, l) 12:57, 20 May 2021 (UTC)
Arguments for not moving
  • Common name – It is the common name, but as the common name policy says, inaccurate names "are often avoided". "Piracy" is most certainly an inaccurate name because it was invented by publishers who disapproved of this copying to smear people who did it by equating their actions with something actually harmful.
  • Concise – It is 'concise', but it's also wrong. Sometimes it isn't possible to explain something 'concisely' and be correct, as is the case here. While "Unauthorized distribution of video games" (although I now favour "copying" rather than "distribution") is more complex than "Video game piracy", it actually describes the topic rather than being a point-of-view term that has been heavily pushed on people, and due to that pushing has been accepted as okay when it's not.
  • Not a POV title – The arguments given for it not being a POV title aren't accurate. Andrewa argued that because people who copy games without authorisation use the term themselves, it is somehow not a point-of-view term. I am really not sure how they came to that conclusion. It shouldn't be surprising that people who copy games without authorisation use the term too – it's been heavily pushed, as previously stated. When all of the business-people are using the term as if it's legitimate, it's not surprising that the public will be fooled into believing it is legitimate. Waxworker says "There also isn't sufficent sources saying that 'piracy' is generally regarded as a smear word.", but https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/words-to-avoid.html#Piracy is a source for opposition to the term, and links to a court case where a US judge refused to allow the uses of the words "piracy" and "theft" in a copyright infringement case.
In conclusion, I don't think the arguments of those who opposed the move are actually valid. Would you say my analysis is fair? Regards, DesertPipeline (talk) 04:54, 21 May 2021 (UTC)
@DesertPipeline: For common name, there is neither agreement nor disagreement by others in the discussion whether the name is inaccurate, so there is at most weak support for the inaccuracy of the name, if any. Therefore, while I cannot exclude the argument, I also cannot give it full weight. The "often avoided" wording does allow for exceptions, so it does not completely invalidate the arguments by others even if the name is inaccurate (downweighing is considerable, but that depends on whether the name is accurate according to consensus).
For conciseness, the argument against conciseness presented here depends on the accuracy and neutrality of the name.
For neutrality, Andrewa's argument is intend to counter that "piracy" has a negative implication. As far as I can see, "piracy" has a negative implication is the only reason for POV of the title, so unless there other reasons raised in the discussion that I missed, Andrewa's argument is fine. While it would be ideal that Waxworker provide some evidence for "'piracy' is generally regarded as a smear word", providing two sources that say "piracy" is a smear word is not an ideal evidence as well – beware of cherry picking. Therefore, I cannot give either arguments more weight over the other one.
Opinion: You mentioned that the term is being pushed heavily. For Wikipedia's purposes, it does not matter as Wikipedia is not supposed to right great wrongs. If someday somebody somehow pushed the idea of flat Earth to most people – Wikipedia itself would not resist the pushing. ~ Aseleste (t, e | c, l) 07:03, 21 May 2021 (UTC)
The negative implication of "piracy" in this context is it's comparing the act of copying with acts by actual pirates – as in, violence.
Regarding "if it was being heavily pushed that Earth was flat, we'd go along with it", would we? We know for a fact that Earth isn't flat, because we have direct evidence of it. We also have evidence that copying does not involve attacking ships.
While Wikipedia should not right great wrongs, to not use a non-neutral word or term for something isn't righting great wrongs – it's simply not making things worse. By using the word "piracy" in this context, Wikipedia is agreeing with a point-of-view. That's a big problem, and it needs to be solved. DesertPipeline (talk) 07:14, 21 May 2021 (UTC)
@DesertPipeline: When closing discussions, the closer is not supposed to insert their opinion, so the opinion part of my message is irrelevant for the purposes of determining a consensus. Otherwise I should have !voted. Since closing discussions should not involve my opinion, it would be counter-productive to debate whether using "piracy" is POV here for the purposes of determining whether the close is correct.
You can try the option mentioned below or read Wikipedia:Renominating for deletion#Advice on renominating (the page is mainly about XfDs, but the linked section should apply to RMs as well). ~ Aseleste (t, e | c, l) 07:26, 21 May 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for the link to move review; I was already aware of it, but the close template states that it's best to discuss the closure with the closer before going to move review. DesertPipeline (talk) 10:13, 21 May 2021 (UTC)
