2015 move discussions
[edit]Star Trek into Darkness
[edit]If "into" is the first word of the subtitle, shouldn't there be a colon (:)? If not, well, the whole title is the proper noun. "Star" is an adjective; "Trek" is a noun and may be a complement. "into" is a preposition; Darkness is a noun and a complement. "into Darkness" is a subtitle, but that shouldn't be a reason to move into "Into". This whole issue is confusing and makes MOS:CT and WP:NCCAPS ineffective. --George Ho (talk) 03:47, 14 September 2014 (UTC)
New question raised regarding Talk:Hillary Rodham Clinton/April 2015 move request
[edit]Some opposers of this move have now contended that there is a "Critical fault in proposal evidence", which brings the opinions expressed into question. Please indicate if this assertion in any way affects your position with respect to the proposed move. Cheers! bd2412 T 04:38, 8 May 2015 (UTC)
Move discussion Talk:MacBook (2015 version)
[edit]You participated in the move discussion there. PaleAqua suggested to move the article to MacBook (Retina) instead for a more specific disambiguation, with which I agree. Would you consider that as a preferable alternative to MacBook (2015)? Just want to see whether we can find a consensus there before the discussion is closed again, because currently everyone seems to want something else.–Totie (talk) 02:27, 29 June 2015 (UTC)

moe. (band) page move
[edit]You didn't read the WP:NCCAPS section. It clearly states that a person/band's name may be listed in their preferred style, and uses deadmau5 as an example. Other such people include (but are not limited to) danah boyd, bill bissett, and k.d. lang. I'm not asking for any kind of favoritism. If Wikipedia had no other examples or allowable exceptions then it would be case closed. In fact, Wikipedia seems to favor the artist/band/individual's choice in the matter.
Could you please revise your opposition in light of this evidence? 208.44.170.115 (talk) 16:28, 20 June 2018 (UTC)
- Update: I referred to the wrong thing. It was this that I meant to post, referencing deadmau5. As you can clearly see, Wikipedia has rule pertaining to artists that allow the use of lowercase and special characters when referring to musicians or other people. Please take a look at it before you finalize your opinion. Thanks! 208.44.170.115 (talk) 20:28, 20 June 2018 (UTC)
Be sure to read WP:COMMONNAME and WP:OFFICIALNAME. In the case of Doyt Perry Stadium, the facility is consistently called as such in secondary sources, such as ESPN.com, local media, and other schools. Even in primary sources, BGSU uses three different variants of the name, calling it "Doyt Perry Stadium" on their facilities page, then using both "Doyt L. Perry Stadium" and just "Perry Stadium" on the https://bgsufalcons.com/sports/2009/6/25/GEN_0625091316.aspx article about the stadium]. --JonRidinger (talk) 12:23, 10 October 2018 (UTC)

Scott The Woz/Madden NFL 08 incidents
[edit]Edit War
[edit]
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Madden NFL 08; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
Points to note:
- Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
- Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. 2603:300F:D38:4000:2C88:1B6A:82BC:955F (talk) 17:06, 29 June 2020 (UTC)
Don't keep reverting things
[edit]Scott the Woz is important to Madden 08's history, it's not like "Breath of the Wild" or "Mario 64", this is a small title that makes a new entry yearly, Scott The Woz is probably the most notable thing to happen to this game, There's a new entry yearly, there is no point removing it so much — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bidoof The OKay Historian (talk • contribs) 14:35, 22 October 2020 (UTC)

Last undefeated team
[edit]None of the 16 NFL teams currently undefeated are the last undefeated team in 2021, because any of them can lose before another. O.N.R. (talk) 09:16, 14 September 2021 (UTC) Listen young man - There are currently 16 teams that are undefeated in the 2021 season, and the list is current. It has been done this way since 2016, and the list is true. Get over your self Spparky (talk) 12:41, 14 September 2021 (UTC)
- Please look at https://www.pro-football-reference.com/friv/last-undefeated.htm. Since PFR lists all the 2021 undefeated teams, you should leave the page as is. I have the reference for you to look at. Please no more messing w this page. Thanks Spparky (talk) 18:47, 18 September 2021 (UTC)
Hello Old Naval Rooftops,
thank you for your correction of my clarification in the article Double-elimination tournament, section 'Pros and cons'.
Now it sounds more precise and understandable!
But I still want to ask you, why did you take out my last sentence:
That is why the double-elimination format is not used in tournaments of many sports (for example football and tennis).
Maybe you point out that is not the only reason for not using it? Would you agree with the following wording for the last sentence:
This is a most important reason why the double-elimination format is not used in tournaments of many sports that have high fitness requirements (for example, soccer, ice hockey and tennis).
Many greetings --Mathecrat (talk) 11:27, 3 November 2021 (UTC)

Proposal to move Joker (Persona) to Ren Amamiya to reflect recent developments in regards to the name's canonicity
[edit]As of recently, the PC version of Persona 5 Royal has been revealed to automatically assign the default name of Ren Amamiya should the player switch the game's language upon resuming their save file. Especially given the name being associated with the character in other non-manga projects related to Persona 5 as well as on his Amiibo figure description, I think it's a good idea to acknowledge Ren Amamiya as his canon name and move the page to reflect that in the same vein as Yu Narukami from Persona 4

After the article "Press Your Luck scandal" was written, "Michael Larson" was turned into a redirect. That redirect has since been undone (though mischaracterized as a "stealth copy & paste move"), and there are now two active discussions in which you may wish to participate, but might otherwise be unaware of:
- Talk:Press Your Luck scandal#Separate articles is discussing WP:BIO1E, the article title, and more.
- Talk:Michael Larson (disambiguation)#Requested move 1 May 2024 is discussing which page should be the primary topic and more.
