Splitting the "Battle of Jabalia" page

Hi, I've made an edir request for splitting the "Battle of Jabalia" page, and you referenced me to WP:SPLIT.
As I'm not extended-protected user I can't start a discussion in the talk page about splitting the page. Could you please help me with that? Thanks Guy Haddad 1 (talk) 13:23, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Guy Haddad 1! I can indeed give you some assistance. You are right, the Battle of Jabalia’s talk page states that non extended-confirmed users cannot discuss the topic besides making edit requests. I apologize for not having notified you of that on my answer to your edit request. Now the main issue with a split is due to the lack of reliable sources on the Battle of Jabalia article. The sources in the article generally fail to establish the battle’s verifiability, let alone a second battle. In the event that you find enough WP:SIGCOV sources for the Second Battle of Jabalia, ~~I’d suggest following the instructions here in order to proceed with your proposed article, which you can create a draft for.~~ Feel free to ask any further questions or concerns here.

Thank you Guy Haddad 1 (talk) 14:19, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Yovt, draft pages are not exempt from WP:ARBECR / WP:A/I/PIA and Guy Haddad 1's draft was deleted for this reason. There is an exception for "userspace" well-hidden at WP:A/I/PIA's fourth point. This exception does not apply to any other topic area with such a restriction, so normally even userspace pages are restricted. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 23:21, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There's an additional absurdity described on Guy Haddad 1's talk page now. I did all I could to change this situation to a less confusing one, but I only have one vote. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 23:39, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello ToBeFree, thank you for notifying me of this situation. I understand now what I have done and take full responsibility. 𝚈𝚘𝚟𝚝 (𝚝𝚊𝚕𝚔𝚟𝚝) 13:22, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's all good, this is pretty confusing. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 15:49, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Moneyball

Hi there - I have no general objection to your edits to the Moneyball (film) synopsis, but I'm confused by your statement that the synopsis was well over 700 words. I just double-checked the word count on wordcounter.net and it gives me 697 words. Is there some other counter you've been using? Cheers.

Namelessposter (talk) 05:05, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Nameless, I believe what happened here was that I was pasting the text into a google document when I was trimming the plot, and what likely happened was that I pasted the source code rather than the prose. I understand your concern and I encourage you to fix whatever I broke, thank you for reaching out. 𝚈𝚘𝚟𝚝 (𝚝𝚊𝚕𝚔𝚟𝚝) 15:05, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You didn't break anything. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't messing up any of the other film articles I've edited. Happy editing! Namelessposter (talk) 15:50, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Re Talk:Carousel (film)

Could you explain how you saw a consensus to not move there? It's numerically 3:3, which would default to no consensus and I don't see any particular basis to give the opposing arguments more weight. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 20:23, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Pppery, thanks for reaching out. As you know, consensus on Wikipedia isn't determined by a simple vote count but by the strength of arguments. In this case, the opposes provided convincing rationale. "Carousel (film)" serves as the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, as the page views for the 1956 film way exceed those of other films with the same name. Also, disambiguation conventions allow for partial disambiguation when the topic is highly dominant, which was well supported here. Although adding the year would offer clarity, this argument was subjective, not strongly address consistency. The statement as to disambiguate with "film" implies it's the only film called Carousel was also not compelling to override established primary topic. More input is welcome. 𝚈𝚘𝚟𝚝 (𝚝𝚊𝚕𝚔𝚟𝚝) 22:08, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You're approaching this totally wrong. consistency with what? The default position is to disambiguate fully. Partial disambiguation is an exceptional situation, and is widely agreed to require more than just being the primary topic (although how much more is subject to dispute). And there's a guideline explicitly saying not to use it for films. While sometimes individual discussions can produce consensus for an exception to a guideline, you can't create such a consensus out of an evenly-matched discussion.

And if you think, by your own words that More input is welcome, then why didn't you relist? * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 23:25, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Consistency with other primary topic films which do not disambiguate entirely. This current requested move falls under that exceptional situation, and although WP:PRIMARYFILM does mention recommendation, it ultimately falls under consensus on whether to omit it or not. When I said more input is welcome, I was referring to my talk page. However, I do not discourage a move review. 𝚈𝚘𝚟𝚝 (𝚝𝚊𝚕𝚔𝚟𝚝) 15:52, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Diff links in requested moves

Hey there, I really like that you linked the diff of the discussion in your request at WP:RM/TR. Next time, though, it'd be even better if you linked the diff of the discussion right after the close, instead of right before. (Putting this here since I've already removed the relevant entry at RM/TR.) Toadspike [Talk] 18:13, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I understand, I think what happened here was that this script had linked the diff before I closed. I appreciate you reaching out. 𝚈𝚘𝚟𝚝 (𝚝𝚊𝚕𝚔𝚟𝚝) 18:27, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Huh...I didn't know about that script. I might try using it myself! Toadspike [Talk] 18:30, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
