Thank you!

Move undone

I moved Independent National Electoral Commission of Nigeria back to Independent National Electoral Commission, but added a hatnote pointing to the DRC equivalent. The reason is that almost 100 articles link to the Nigerian article, where only five link to the DRC article, so the Nigerian INEC is the dominant meaning, the hatnote is the easiest solution and the one that makes readers most likely to find what they are looking for quickly.

The alternative would be to restore the move, make Independent National Electoral Commission a disambiguation page, then fix all the articles that point to the disambiguation page. I don't see any reason to make the move without taking the second and third steps. But my guess is that the disambiguation page would immediately start accumulating more inbound links from Nigerian articles. Aymatth2 (talk) 20:53, 12 March 2012 (UTC)

Moving Burma to Myanmar - ongoing poll

This is to let you know that an ongoing poll is taking place to move Burma to Myanmar. I know this happened just recently but no administrator would close these frequent rm's down, so here we go again. This note is going out to wikipedia members who have participated in Burma/Myanmar name changing polls in the past. It does not include banned members nor those with only ip addresses. Thank you.

Senate of Pakistan

hello there and thank you for your message. Article 50 and again Article 59 of the Constitution of Pakistan speaks simply of a "Senate", not a "Senate of Pakistan", see here [1]. With the same token the website says "Senate of Pakistan" however in the introductory sentence also speaks of "Welcome to Pakistan Senate's official website". Both factors show the official name to be simply "Senate", without the country's name in it. Gryffindor (talk) 06:48, 27 September 2012 (UTC)

Please stop moving pages

If pages in Greater Manchester would be better in Trafford etc then they would have been moved a long time ago. Please stop pissing about and leave them alone. At least try to get consensus at the project (you will not get it). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.88.111.57 (talk) 11:52, 27 September 2012 (UTC)

You have continued to move articles on towns in Greater Manchester, despite this request to cease (which could perhaps have been phrased a little more pleasantly). The consensus at Wikipedia:WikiProject Greater Manchester is that articles should be disambiguated by the ceremonial county, not the metropolitan borough. There is provision in the naming conventions for England for an article to be disambiguated by settlement, but this is not supported within the Greater Manchester project, and in any case, would not apply to the moves you made at Middleton, Greater Manchester or Wardle, Greater Manchester, neither of which is part of the settlement of Rochdale. Please stop immediately. Any further moves will have to be considered as vandalism, and will be reported, which could result in you being banned from editing. Skinsmoke (talk) 03:28, 28 September 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply. I've replied at my talk page, to keep the discussion easier to follow. Skinsmoke (talk) 15:11, 28 September 2012 (UTC)

Also tried moving Alkrington and Langley to "Neighbourhoods of Rochdale". A) Alkrington and Langley are neighbourhoods of Middleton. B) Rochdale is a completely different place. The metropolitan borough means nothing apart from politically (council etc). A borough is not a physical place! - Manc24 (I dont know how to sign properly just sick of people with an agenda putting Middleton places under Rochdale when its a complete LIE!). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Manc24 (talk • contribs) 16:48, 28 September 2012 (UTC)

Towns in Manchester

Your several deletion requests of redirects to towns in Manchester don't appear to make sense. What're you getting at? Wily D 15:56, 27 September 2012 (UTC)

Maybe you're looking for Template:Db-move? If I'm parsing what you're saying correctly, you want to swap the redirect and the article location. I'd bring a discussion to the talk pages first, though. We Brits can be incredible sticklers for names of articles about places (I have no idea why.) Wily D 16:34, 27 September 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for September 29

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Provinces of Argentina, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Los Andes (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Moving articles about legislatures

hello there, and thank you for your message. The format is wrong because the proper names given in the constitutions do not give the country's name. For example the proper name is "Senate" of Pakistan and not "Senate of Pakistan". Also official names are preferable if possible, but it does not have to be. So it is Legislative Yuan and not "Parliament of Taiwan", but House of Lords and not "The Right Honourable the Lords Spiritual and Temporal of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland in Parliament assembled".

AN/I discussion

Hi,
I have started a thread on AN/I about possible problems with undiscussed moves, and it mentions the Senate of Pakistan RM which you were involved in. Your input would be welcome. bobrayner (talk) 12:10, 7 October 2012 (UTC)

Why east only?

So what about Nord Region (Burkina Faso) and Sud-Ouest Region (Burkina Faso)? I was going to move them but then I saw this move. I will leave you to fight it out with Good Olfactory (talk · contribs). — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 09:12, 27 October 2012 (UTC)
