Good on you. You have managed to leave a totally crap article in mainspace without any sources, without even letting me reply to Rfd. scope_creepTalk 10:43, 18 August 2022 (UTC)
- Sorry, its not your fault. That was crass and unnecessary on my part. scope_creepTalk 10:55, 18 August 2022 (UTC)

Prime Minister of Argentina
Hi, I’m not against your edit, but am curious why it’s important to put this redirect in the hatnote. Won’t readers get the idea that “prime minister” is a legitimate alternative title for a person in this position? There are other redirects to this article that are more accurate, like Chief of Cabinet of Ministers (redirect page) and Cabinet Chief of Argentina. But why put any of them in a hatnote? Anythingyouwant (talk) 00:39, 31 August 2022 (UTC)
- @Anythingyouwant: I thought it would be suitable to have this type of hatnote, since some readers apparently get confused, and that's why I tweaked it. But you can go ahead and revert my edits if you don't find them appropriate. CycloneYoris talk! 04:41, 31 August 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks for the kind reply. Thinking back several years, I don’t recall that hatnotes used to talk much about what redirects to those articles. But maybe I’m mistaken and this has been going on a lot for decades. I suppose if there’s only one redirect, then mentioning it in the hatnote might help a reader understand why he ended up there, but Wikipedia already says “Redirected from Prime Minister of Argentina” between the article title and the hatnote. For readers who got to the article other ways, it seems confusing to start telling them about “Prime minister of Argentina” if no such thing exists. So I’m inclined to delete that part of the hatnote, thanks for discussing it. Anythingyouwant (talk) 05:18, 31 August 2022 (UTC)
- @Anythingyouwant: You're welcome! I do apologize for the late reply though. CycloneYoris talk! 06:09, 31 August 2022 (UTC)

I do not think that means what you think it means
Just a headsup that when you closed the RfD for I do not think that means what you think it means you used the soft redirect template for Wiktionary rather than Wikiquote. This is understandable as almost all soft redirect closures are intended to point to Wiktionary but if it was done automatically by XfD closer you might want to raise a bug report or something. Thryduulf (talk) 10:08, 25 September 2022 (UTC)
- @Thryduulf: Yes, that was a mistake on my part. I actually thought both templates were the same, but now I know they're not. Thank you for fixing it and for letting me know. CycloneYoris talk! 11:33, 25 September 2022 (UTC)
