Disambiguation link notification for April 5

Hi. When you recently edited Christopher Boyle, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Birmingham Cathedral and Diocese of Birmingham (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.

Great Scott!

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, articles should not be moved, as you did to Robert Falcon Scott, without good reason. They need to have a name that is both accurate and intuitive. Wikipedia has some guidelines in place to help with this. Generally, a page should only be moved to a new title if the current name doesn't follow these guidelines. Also, if a page move is being discussed, consensus needs to be reached before anybody moves the page. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. PatGallacher (talk) 01:10, 12 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Well, thank you Mr Gallacher for that remarkably condescending notice to an established editor of 6 years and 40,000 edits. As I noted in my edit summary, that move was according to the WP:COMMONNAME guideline and WP:BRD. So cheers for that. D B D 10:32, 12 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know about you too...

...but I think you are right. I said to Glasshouse, the user that made those monograms, that he should change the coronet of those monograms. For Example the coronet of the monogram of Diana should be coronet of the prince of wales or the coronet of prince william, Catherine and prince harry's monograms should be the coronet of a child of the heir apparent, but he didn't answer. Then I saw your message on his talk page and I understood that he don't want to correct them. Anyway I was wrong and I'm sorry. Keivan.f^Talk 15:50, 17 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I said to User:Fry1989 and I'm waiting for his answer. Keivan.f^Talk 17:17, 17 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Also, if he couldn't help us, I think Sodacan is the best selection. Keivan.f^Talk 17:32, 17 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Archdeacons

Hi DBD. This is a courtesy notice to let you know that I've raised at the Notability noticeboard an issue in which you've been involved. I'd welcome your comments there. There's also some earlier discussion at User talk:Bashereyre. Best, —SMALL JIM 19:15, 13 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

RFAR

Hi there. Please see Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case#GoodDay. Regards, Steven Zhang ^{Get involved in DR!} 23:29, 27 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Arbitration case opened

An arbitration case in which you commented has been opened, and is located at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/GoodDay. Evidence that you wish the Arbitrators to consider should be added to the evidence sub-page, at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/GoodDay/Evidence. Please add your evidence by January 11, 2012, which is when the evidence phase closes. You can contribute to the case workshop sub-page, Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/GoodDay/Workshop. For a guide to the arbitration process, see Wikipedia:Arbitration/Guide to arbitration. For the Arbitration Committee, Alexandr Dmitri (talk) 22:03, 29 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

WP:DIACRITICS

Hi DBD. I saw your name and comment here. I agree with you. To me GoodDay looks like a bit of a victim in this and I have the impression that he has largely been led and egged on in this issue. I also have the impression, which may be wrong but at the moment I have the impression, that the sort of clear guidance you describe has been kept out of WP:DIACRITICS by editors whose views of how en.wp should be is not representative how articles actually are in articles directly affected (articles on countries/people in the Latin-alphabet language zone) per Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (use English) "If this happens, follow the conventions of the language in which this entity is most often talked about (German for category:German politicians, Turkish for category:rivers of Turkey.." etc. For this reason I have proposed, on Talk at WT:MOS to add Zoë Baird as an example to WP:DIACRITICS to aid Users, rather than making a scapegoat out of GoodDay. I have not mentioned GoodDay there by name nor linked to his controversial edit. In ictu oculi (talk) 02:39, 30 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Howdy DBD. I probably wouldn't have gotten so steamed up these last few days, bu In ictu oculi's mass page moves to diacritics weren't being halted. IMHO, all page moves should be froze, until English Wikipedia comes up with a clear directive on diacritics usage. GoodDay (talk) 23:02, 31 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Arbcom Case

Howdy DBD. I'm not going to put up much of a 'defence' at the Arbcom Case, as I'm overly bewildered with why diacritics continue to be over-used on English Wikipedia. It's simply disheartening. GoodDay (talk) 04:59, 3 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Good on ya. I strongly suggest you take some time to just get over it. There are more important things – like editing. D B D 09:14, 3 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'll never get over it. I can only hope that someday, it'll get so out of hand that the Wikimedia folks will begin a purge. GoodDay (talk) 13:24, 3 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

British & Irish politicial articles

Thank goodness I'm banned from those articles. A known Welsh nationalist promotor has just returned to Wikipedia. GoodDay (talk) 02:16, 5 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

ACNA Pittsburgh Diocese

I understand that you think the Anglican Diocese of Pittsburgh is "not properly Anglican"; however, your opinion doesn't matter. If by "not properly Anglican" you are referring to the authority of the Anglican Communion to determine who is "Anglican" or not, then in fact that doesn't matter either since Wikipedia does not answer to the Anglican Communion. The full name of the organization is "Anglican Diocese of Pittsburgh" not "Diocese of Pittsburgh". It appears that since this is the second time you've changed the name that you feel strongly about this issue. I would invite you to discuss the name of the article on the talk page. Ltwin (talk) 22:15, 11 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The Anglican Diocese of Pittsburgh is full Anglican as a member of the Anglican Church of North America who represents orthodox Anglicanism in North America. They are recognized as "fully Anglican" by the Church of England and are already in full communion with the Anglican churches of Nigeria, Uganda and Sudan. So there isn't even a question about their Anglicanism.Mistico (talk) 23:32, 11 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I removed your NPOV question on talk MOS because that page is for discussing improvements to the MOS page. It has been moved to Talk:Historical development of Church of England dioceses#Jerusalem NPoV. Please see my reply there.
