RfD Closure

Hey @Cremastra, could you possibly relist your closure at Wikipedia:Redirects_for_discussion/Log/2025_January_11#BlSOD? The two keep votes argue that the term is used in sources, but the sources listed by Bugghost exclusively use BlSoD (another redirect which seems appropriate). The main issue of my RfD (this particular capitalization is not used and therefore should be deleted) does not have any arguments against. Thanks! ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 12:33, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Bunnypranav Noting that I have seen this and will respond in detail presently... I have a GAN to work on.

I do not think that capitalisation is a defining issue here and there was consensus that the redirect was appropriate. To me, that consensus implies that the capitalisation is not a defining feature of the redirect and that "BlSOD" is satisfactorily equivalent to "BlSoD". In any case, if BugGhost's sources didn't satisfy your concerns, a ten-second search yields some more [1] [2] [3]. Cremastra (talk) 21:13, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

To elaborate, I'm willing to withdraw my closure and relist, but I'll need confirmation and a bit of further evidence from you before proceeding in that direction. As it stands, I'm happy with the close I made. Cremastra (talk) 20:46, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the links you gave. My search engine for some reason just showed Blood, even with the "BlSOD" search modifiers (whole reason I did an RfD instead of just patrolling it). I do not have any wishes to relist ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 13:03, 22 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, cheers. Cremastra (talk) 13:16, 22 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

2025

2025 opened with trumpet fanfares that first sounded OTD in 1725 (as the Main page had). Today I had a composer (trumpeter, conductor) on the main page who worked closely with another who just became GA, - small world! To celebrate: mostly flowers pics from vacation ;) - Thank you for improving article quality in January! -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:35, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Reward Board: Pushing Asia towards GA Status

Hello! as per [4] I am informing you that I have started editing Asia with the intent to reach GA. It is my first thrust into the content assessment system so wish me luck. Relm (talk) 00:24, 25 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@RelmC I do wish you luck, but also, less appealingly, caution. GAs are difficult – I'll note that my first four nominations failed – and they're even harder for broad articles like Asia. I'm sure you'll succeed, but take it slowly and don't be disspirited if your first nomination fails. Cremastra (talk) 22:05, 26 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! I will keep that in mind. Relm (talk) 23:57, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Your GA nomination of Balanus trigonus

The article Balanus trigonus you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Balanus trigonus for comments about the article, and Talk:Balanus trigonus/GA1 for the nomination. Well done! If the article is eligible to appear in the "Did you know" section of the Main Page, you can nominate it within the next seven days.

Denali - 1 week of RM discussion?

Boy that was a quick close, especially with it being so active even today. I've seen discussions opened over a month before they are closed. Fyunck(click) (talk) 19:48, 1 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Ideally things shouldn't be relisted. Often relisting is done because there's less participation and more discussion is needed. Here there was a positive surfeit of participation, so a relist wouldn't help matters, I think. Cremastra (talk) 21:38, 1 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This close was poorly-thought out, please undo this, let the discussion run its course. 1 week to declare a weak "no consensus" is absurd. Zaathras (talk) 22:00, 1 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Zaathras I'm happy to reconsider my closure, but I don't think it was too early. WP:RMCI tells us: Relisting is an option when a discussion cannot otherwise be closed, usually due to lack of consensus. Editors are under no obligation to wait to close a move request after it is relisted. Once a move request has been open for the full seven days, it may be closed at any time by an uninvolved editor. Cremastra (talk) 22:04, 1 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I also don't think that relisting it would've changed the outcome since the same points are getting made over and over again since about day 2 - rather, it would've just prolonged the agony of that discussion. I probably would've closed it as not moved rather than no consensus, but the end result is the same. Turnagra (talk) 00:04, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Move review for Denali

An editor has asked for a Move review of Denali. Because you closed the move discussion for this page, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the move review. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zaathras (talk • contribs) 03:33, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Zaathras I have responded at the move review, and as I said there I think this is unnecessary drama. Cremastra (talk) 18:16, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

John Dickerson talk page

Could you please fix the page move for Talk:John Dickerson (journalist) to Talk:John Dickerson in which its main article already moved? Because when i typed the latter, it redirects to DAB page, which now named Talk:John Dickerson (disambiguation). 103.111.100.82 (talk) 12:04, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Thanks for telling me, since I clearly didn't notice when I moved the article. Cheers, Cremastra (talk) 13:31, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
