Camilla page/talk page botched moves

Hi, apologies for the nudge but it looks like there are still problems from this mangled move. The edit history for the talk page is still at the mispelled Talk:Queen Camilla of the United Kigdom, whose main page redirects to Queen Camilla of the United Kingdom. The article should still be at Camilla, Queen Consort as a move request (to simply Queen Camilla) is in progress. Hopefully you can help fix the mess? U-Mos (talk) 12:54, 6 May 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Queen Camilla of the United Kigdom was a cut-and-paste move. It will take some work to see whether there have been any separate edits to that copy. olderwiser 12:58, 6 May 2023 (UTC)
There was a (possibly second) copy and paste attempting to amend the spelling error, with the duplication now kept, so the edit history has been lost. But the history of the main page is intact, so no big deal I guess. U-Mos (talk) 13:05, 6 May 2023 (UTC)

Adder question

Good afternoon Bkonrad. You have reverted my rearrangement of the adder meanings, noting "no primary topic". I am unsure what this means. Can you please briefly explain it on the adder Talk page after my existing comment? Furthermore, I would appreciate yuor suggestion how to highlight the entry for medical emergencies/first aid for those bitten by adders. Thank you. 86.133.224.70 (talk) 13:00, 8 May 2023 (UTC)

Can you stop reverting my edits, i didn't edit anything else i was just adding stuff, you don't know how much time it took me to research this stuff. All you were doing is undoing my stuff. Please just stop. Ginger.man63 (talk) 16:52, 9 May 2023 (UTC)

Stop adding nonsense (however well-researched you might think it) to the article. olderwiser 16:53, 9 May 2023 (UTC)

Blood on the Floor – Painting, 1986

Hi can you reverse this page move back to its actual title. Neither "painting" nor "1986" were disambs; that's what the painting is usually titled as (although I do get why it might seem confusing from a wiki POV[1]. Thanks and best. Ceoil (talk) 22:09, 18 May 2023 (UTC)

Sorry, but the Bacon estate website (among others) do not title it like that. [User:Bkonrad|older]] ≠ wiser 22:50, 18 May 2023 (UTC)
[2], they have a different and frankly wrong formulation, but not withstanding, the painting's origional title is "blood...painting...1986[3]. He often used such titles....Painting 1946, Study of Red Pope 1962. 2nd version 1971, Triptych–August 1972, etc etc, not sure what your point is in arguing this. Ceoil (talk) 02:03, 19 May 2023 (UTC)
Looks to me like these are descriptive, not part of the title. The sources in your links use a variety of formulations
  • Blood on the Floor – Painting, 1986
  • Blood on the Floor (FB; painting)
  • Blood on the Floor , Painting 1986
  • Blood on the Floor (1986)
  • Blood on the floor - Painting ( 1986 )
  • Blood on the Floor - Painting, 1986
  • Blood on the Floor of 1986
I don't see any evidence in this these sources to support claim that " – Painting, 1986" is part of the title. olderwiser 02:30, 19 May 2023 (UTC)
You seem to be right about the year, and as the article title already has the word "painting", going to drop this. Ceoil (talk) 22:30, 19 May 2023 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Yuri Antonov (disambiguation) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G14 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a disambiguation page which either

  • disambiguates only one extant Wikipedia page and whose title ends in "(disambiguation)" (i.e., there is a primary topic);

  • is an orphaned redirect with a title ending in "(disambiguation)" that does not target a disambiguation page or page that has a disambiguation-like function.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time. Please see the disambiguation page guidelines for more information.

Please follow WP:REVEXP. You didn't with Special:Diff/1161425884.

Just because you are an experienced long term editor, doesn't mean you can go reverting edits by IPs or other users. Be more careful in the future, thank you. 90.254.6.237 (talk) 16:57, 22 June 2023 (UTC)

Thank you for reverting you own edit though, as you realized that the DAB page had no reason for existence. 90.254.6.237 (talk) 17:03, 22 June 2023 (UTC)

Probably due for a dab page, eh? - UtherSRG (talk) 12:13, 27 June 2023 (UTC)

Perhaps so. olderwiser 12:58, 27 June 2023 (UTC)

Monomyms

Hi, with regards to your recent edits. Don't mononyms go on the disambiguation page? Gotitbro (talk) 13:36, 27 June 2023 (UTC)

Yes, although I saw nothing in the articles supporting claim that the actresses were commonly known by the mononym and thus no reason for a redirect to one particular actress with a given name over other actresses with the same name. olderwiser 14:05, 27 June 2023 (UTC)
