Hello, I'm Jerium (pseudonym); formerly Jerm, and I've been editing Wikipedia since 2014. My contributions over the years have been reverting vandalism, preventing or stoping disruptive editing, handling editors with inappropriate usernames, and those who attempt to advertise on Wikipedia. That has been my editing routine then and now and is unlikly to change. Rarely do I contribute to the creation and expansion of articles. I do contribute to the creation of awards on Wikipedia, but likewise with my contributions to articles, rarely.
>Low pending changes backlog: 6 pages according to DatBot as of 07:45, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
I'm predominantly known on Wikipedia for remastering and making new original barnstars. My first barnstar was made back in 2019. From then on, I've made over a hundred-plus, and all of them can be viewed by clicking here. I don't take requests. Make a request at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Wikipedia Awards to have a barnstar made. I'll be watching but the probability of a response is unlikely. My current objective is the creation of barnstars by countries (not to be confused with national merit), but the ideal of making a barnstar for every country is definitely not going to happen, that doesn't mean I won't try.
The Passive Barnstar may be awarded to editors who have continued to contribute without seeking revenge or other forms of recompense in the face of rebuttals, sarcastic remarks, or outright personal attacks prior to the initiation of a discussion, during a discussion, or after its conclusion.
The Molecular and Cell Biology Barnstar may be awarded to editors who've made significant contributions to Molecular biology and Cell biology-related articles.
I can also create userboxes; my first userbox was User wikipedia/Earwig's Copyvio Detector. I prefer to create userboxes related to editing Wikipedia. I normally create non-Wiki userboxes on my own time, however I do accept requests. If you would like someone else to create a userbox for you, please inquire here. To be clear, neither the userboxes I create on request nor at random indicate that I endorse or approve the messages they display, nor do they reveal anything about my personal identity.

(Discuss) – Vanessa Borne → Danielle Kamela – Subject was released from WWE back in 2021 and has always used her real name outside of WWE. No reason to keep WWE owned name "Vanessa Borne" as the title. Nyeeye (talk) 23:16, 2 July 2024 (UTC) — Relisting.The Night Watch(talk) 01:33, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
(Discuss) – Intellivision Amico → Amico (video game platform) – Due to recent developments and announcements, the Intellivision brand is no longer officially attached to the project, the company has announced its name change to Amico Entertainment and now it is not limited to a console but a series of products such as (currently) a mobile app with in-app purchases, a mandatory companion app and the upcoming/proposed controller and console, this name should be the most appropriate now. MexTDT (talk) 23:40, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
(Discuss) – National Rally–The Republicans alliance crisis → 2024 The Republicans (France) crisis – The crisis mostly concerns The Republicans, and has little to do with the National Rally party. They were just there and said "OK" to Ciotti's faction joining their movement. I understand the current name but it's both too long and gives too much spotlight to the RN. The French article is called "2024 crisis in The Republicans party", which is a more accurate description of the situation. I suggest 2024 The Republicans (France) crisis, in line with the name of the article The Republicans (France). Paul Vaurie (talk) 22:09, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
(Discuss) – Tswana language → Setswana – WP:COMMONNAME. Searching setswana gives you results mainly saying setswana. Most of them that say Tswana are about Tswana people and reading the sources later state that the language they speak is called Setswana. 48JCL 20:33, 2 July 2024 (UTC) — Relisting.BilledMammal (talk) 20:44, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
(Discuss) – Black Widow (Yelena Belova) → Yelena Belova – While this character has predominantly used the alias "Black Widow" since her introduction in the late 1990s, she has used other aliases beyond that. Namely, these are "Super-Adaptoid starting in 2006 and most recently "White Widow" starting in 2021. While WP:Naming conventions (comics)#By codename was sufficient for the decades this character only used "Black Widow", WP:Naming conventions (comics)#By character name seems more applicable nowadays as this character has donned other names and, while Black Widow (Natasha Romanova) is largely deemed the more common/notable Black Widow, the set index Black Widow (Marvel Comics) covers other characters with this name. The character has also been more frequently referred to by her "real" WP:COMMONNAME Yelena Belova in comics and other media, and Yelena Belova (a redirect to this article), provides a WP:NATURAL disambiguation for this subject.

(Discuss) – National Democratic Party of Germany → Die Heimat (political party) – When a party changes its name, it seems more than natural to rename the page too. Current English-language sources on the party refer to it by its new original name, Die Heimat, which should therefore be the title of the page. It doesn't seem sensible to me to keep a name that has been abandoned for a year now. Scia Della Cometa (talk) 13:10, 20 June 2024 (UTC) — Relisting.BilledMammal (talk) 18:58, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
(Discuss) – Umberto I of Italy → Umberto I – While there exists several rulers named Humbert I and Humbert II, the two Umbertos who are kings of Italy seem to be the PRIMARYTOPIC for "Umbertos". Векочел (talk) 18:57, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
(Discuss) – Alcaeus → Alcaeus (disambiguation) – The Greek lyric poet Alcaeus is the clear primary topic in both likely usage (WP:PT1) and longterm significance (WP:PT2). Likely Usage: There is really no debate that the lyric poet considerably dwarfs the others in page views. He is competing with comparatively niche cultural and mythological personalities; it is telling that all of the other Nine Lyric Poets are named monogamously on Wikipedia (although Simonides of Ceos is not, the name Simonides redirects there regardless). “Alcaeus of Mytilene” is simply not the common name for the lyric poet. Longterm significance: Alcaeus the lyric poet has been canonized in ancient literature, with an oeuvre described as “highly esteemed in the ancient world” ([1]), and an entire lyrical meter named after him (the Alcaic stanza). He is the subject of repeated monographs and studies; the other Alcaeus personages receive no where near this much attention. The previous move request spurred into a tangential analysis of how Alcaeus is presented in classical scholarship. The sources consulted were Brill's New Pauly and the 200 year-old Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology; both do not list the the lyric poet first. Since this is blatant cherrypicking, I’ll have a go myself: the 2014 Oxford Classical Dictionary, more comprehensive and up-to-date than both, lists the lyric poet first. In any case, Wikipedia is not a classical encyclopedia, it is a general encyclopedia. Other general encyclopedias simply call him "Alcaeus" (see Britannica and Oxford Reference) – Aza24 (talk) 18:34, 21 June 2024 (UTC) — Relisting.BilledMammal (talk) 18:56, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
(Discuss) – Rallying → Rally (motorsport) – "Rallying" remains vague, as it can apply in literally every other type of sport "rally" is a term as well as the stock market. It is not an adequate disambiguation. Britannica calls it "rally" [2] so that's what I went with here. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 10:13, 12 June 2024 (UTC) — Relisting.BilledMammal (talk) 21:12, 22 June 2024 (UTC) — Relisting.BilledMammal (talk) 18:51, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
(Discuss) – Kriss (surname) → Kriss – Delete disambiguation page and move to main title. The only other entry at the dabpage is KRISS, which is DIFFCAPS and can be adequately addressed in the "See also" section, no separate article required. 162 etc. (talk) 02:11, 24 June 2024 (UTC) — Relisting.BilledMammal (talk) 18:41, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
(Discuss) – Jutish → Jutlandic – I'm requesting a move to the new article, along with its associated talk page, because while the terms "Jutish" and "Jutlandic" can be synonyms and refer to either anything related to the ancient Germanic tribe called the 'Jutes', anything related to the Jutland peninsula in Denmark, or the 'Jutlandic dialect' spoken in Denmark, the terms "Jute", "Jutish" and "Jutic" normally refer to anything related to the ancient Germanic tribe called the 'Jutes' (according to the entries on Wiktionary, Jute, Jutish and Jutic), while the terms "Jutlandic" and "Jutlandish" normally refer to anything related to the Jutland peninsula in Denmark, or the 'Jutlandic dialect' spoken in Denmark (according to the entries on Wiktionary, Jutlandic and Jutlandish), while the term "Jutlander" normally refers to anyone from the Jutland peninsula in Denmark (according to the entry on Wiktionary). But this definitely warrants further discussion. It seems we have five options here: # Retain the status quo, with the disambiguation page as the primary topic, # Move Jutlandic dialect to Jutlandic and retarget Jutish to Jutes, # Retarget Jutlandic to Jutish, # Move Jutish to Jutlandic and then do either of the following: :: a. retarget Jutish to Jutlandic, :: b. retarget Jutish to Jutes My personal preference is (4b), to move Jutish to Jutlandic and then retarget Jutish to Jutes, so I've styled the RM that way. But editors are also free to suggest whichever option they want in this RM.

(Discuss) – Sthanakvasi → Sthānakavāsī – This article was living over 10 years under this proposed more appropriate and consistent name, per this change. However, earlier this year this change was reverted in this change. The rationale is unclear, as I was unable to find any documentation on this change. Requesting a discussion and a potential renaming per International Alphabet of Sanskrit Transliteration used in other articles on Jainism. I have changed the label of the Wikidata item accordingly.

(Discuss) – Norman Hunter → Norman Hunter (disambiguation) – Per WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, the footballer is the primary topic with respect to usage, because it is much more likely than all the other topics combined to be the topic sought when a reader searches for that term. With respect to long-term significance, either no one is the primary topic or else the footballer is the primary topic, and it makes no difference because the footballer is the primary topic as to long-term significance. None of the other topics come close in terms of fame or significance. PearlyGigs (talk) 16:02, 1 July 2024 (UTC) — Relisting.BilledMammal (talk) 17:57, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
(Discuss) – Tales of the Jedi (TV series) → Star Wars: Tales – Since this move made nearly three months ago has been objected to, here is an RM. I personally don't agree with the need as consensus was reached on the matter. Never the less, this anthology series had its first installment released as (formally) Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi (commonly Tales of the Jedi) in October 2022, with it announced in April 2023 that it would get a second season (wording used by media outlets, though the quote from Filoni was "Tales of the Jedi was so fun the first time, I decided to do some more.") Subsequently, it was announced a year later in April 2024 that this second "season" was a new "installment", Star Wars: Tales of the Empire (commonly Tales of the Empire). This press release shows the use of both formal names as well as the key quote in my view (and the determination of the previous consensus) that Tales of the Empire was the second installment of the "Tales" series. Thus, an appropriate name to address this anthology series considering the formal name would be Star Wars: Tales, which provides a WP:NATURAL name. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 17:25, 2 July 2024 (UTC) — Relisting.BilledMammal (talk) 17:46, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
(Discuss) – Shikike → Fujiwara Shiki-ke – The last name was Fujiwara, with the added epiteth "Shiki-ke". "Shikike" alone was not the family name nor is it transliterated correctly (-ke means "House"). Request move to clear confusion. See also Owari Tokugawa family discussion for similar issue and solution. Gryffindor (talk) 15:59, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
(Discuss) – Finnic languages → Baltic-Finnic languages – The common name for these languages is 'Baltic-Finnic languages'. Additionally, the article about the peoples who speak these languages is titled Baltic Finnic peoples. However, I have reservations about moving the Finnic languages (disambiguation) page to the title 'Finnic languages' due to ongoing debates regarding the validity of the Finno-Permic languages as a taxonomical group. It might be more appropriate to consider deleting the disambiguation page altogether. Furthermore, all interwikis are using Baltic-Finnic in their titles. Vandervalp (talk) 14:40, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
(Discuss) – 2023 Hamas-led attack on Israel → 7 October Hamas-led attack on Israel – I believe that enough time has passed since the last RM (which proposed the simpler "7 October attacks" name and closed with consensus to retain the current title) to re-propose a title change for this article. I believe that "7 October Hamas-led attack on Israel" is the WP:COMMONNAME for this event, as seen in sources such as: * Al Jazeera: "... counter the October 7 Hamas-led attack on Israel, which saw ..." * Bloomberg: "... trapped in Gaza since the Oct. 7 Hamas-led attack on Israel, which prompted ..." * CBC: "... around the world since the Hamas-led attacks on Israel of Oct. 7 but are now ..." * CNN: "... from the October 7 Hamas-led attack on Israel being held ..." * Euracitiv: "... triggered by the 7 October Hamas-led attack on Israel in which ..." * France24: "Before the October 7 Hamas-led attack on Israel that triggered ..." * ISW: "... spokesperson claimed that the October 7 Hamas-led attack on Israel was retaliation ..." * Middle East Eye: "Following the 7 October Hamas-led attack on Israel and subsequent ..." * NPR: "... Palestinian armed groups since the Oct. 7 Hamas-led attack on Israel that set off the war ..." * NYTimes: "... including some who participated in the Oct. 7 Hamas-led attack on Israel, and that ..." * Reuters: "... were involved in the Oct. 7 Hamas-led attack on Israel that precipitated ..." * Times of Israel: "... during and after the October 7 Hamas-led attack on Israel." * The Conversation: "... participated in the October 7 Hamas-led attack on Israel, which resulted ... " * WaPo: "Since the Oct. 7 Hamas-led attack on Israel, restrictions have ..." Many sources simply say "7 October" or "October 7 attacks" instead of spelling out the full name, but I believe that while "7 October attacks" could be a more COMMON name, I think that it fails WP:AT#Precision in favor of "7 October Hamas-led attack on Israel."

(Discuss) – Module:Language → Module:Wikt-lang – This module has a very misleading name. It is solely used to create Wiktionary links with a language anchor, and should not be confused with Module:Lang which is used for most other language related usages. This move will match the template name at Template:Wikt-lang. Gonnym (talk) 12:31, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
(Discuss) – List of target seats in the 2024 United Kingdom general election → List of marginal seats before the 2024 United Kingdom general election – These are lists of seats with small majorities, calculated from previous results. They are not lists of any party's target seats, which are the seats a party chooses to focus its funds and energies into contesting, as shown by headlines such as "Labour increases Scottish target seats to 36", and by the lead of the 2024 list. Simply changing "target seats in the nnnn ... election" to "marginal seats in the nnnn ... election" would result in ambiguity as it would not be clear whether these were marginal seats before or after the said election, hency my suggested new title of "marginal seats before the nnnn .... election". There may be better alternatives. PamD 22:59, 23 June 2024 (UTC) — Relisting.Safari ScribeEdits!Talk! 17:03, 1 July 2024 (UTC) — Relisting.BilledMammal (talk) 09:28, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
(Discuss) – My Cute Guys → Flower Boys Next Door – Common name used by English-language reliable sources seems to be Flower Boys Next Door, even in the sources listed on the article; My Cute Guys seems to be a fanmade title. We should never use titles from URL. ⋆｡˚꒰ঌClara A. Djalim໒꒱˚｡⋆ 09:09, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
(Discuss) – Vespina (aircraft) → Airbus Voyager ZZ336 – I am a close watcher of aviation generally and military aviation specifically, and I had no idea what this article title referred to. WP:AT states that when article titles have multiple possibilities, "editors choose among them by considering several principles: the ideal article title precisely identifies the subject; it is short, natural, distinguishable and recognizable; and resembles titles for similar articles." None of those are true to "Vespina (aircraft). Being strictly factual and naming it as <Aircraft (i.e. general type name)> <Registration (denoting specific aircraft> is much clearer. The current name is vague in the extreme. Mark83 (talk) 08:31, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
(Discuss) – Airborne Interception radar → Aircraft interception radar – The article's current title, "Airborne interception radar," is problematic for two reasons. First, the claim that "AI," an abbreviation used throughout the article, stands for "airborne interception" (in terms of radar) is unsourced, and is contradicted by a number of credible sources that state that "AI" has historically stood for "aircraft interception" (see sources below). The second problem with the original title is that it's misleading and/or confusing. There's an entirely different class of "airborne" radars NOT covered in this article: air-to-surface-vessel (ASV) radar systems, which are designed to detect ships and surfaced submarines, and which are often installed on aircraft. (ASV radars are already covered, appropriately, in a separate article.) As this change may have significant impact, I'm submitting it as a request rather than making the change directly. Thanks.
