Buzz cut photo

Hi, I see you've reverted somebody else's change of image here back to the David Perron photo. Could you give some context for your preference at Talk:Buzz cut#David Perron photo? Thanks. Belbury (talk) 10:07, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Trans title?

I've noticed you've reverted edits at 2024 Summer Olympics Parade of Nations before with the rationale that the sources did not include the "trans title" parameter? I wasn't aware that that was a rule - could you show me where it says that? Thanks, BeanieFan11 (talk) 22:45, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have just followed what is listed here [1] Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 22:54, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I do not see instructions there that provide guidance about complete removal of non-English citations. Removing valid citations that happen to not have translated titles, as Sportsfan 1234 did in this edit, is not valid. See WP:RSUEC. Please restore those deleted citations. – Jonesey95 (talk) 00:04, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yup, Im slowly adding sources to the countries listed with flagbearers. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 14:15, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In addition to the MOS provision I quoted here, as a practical matter that should be linked in both the title and infobox because a) we always do it that way and b) more importantly, on the mobile interface (when viewed with a phone, anyway, as a great deal of people will) the intro text displays above the infobox, so it's not as immediately obvious a place to click as it is on a desktop.

Interesting, from what I have gathered, we have never linked the "x Summer Olympics" (or any other multisport event infoboxes). Is this a policy or recommendation? Because moving forward Ill keep that in mind. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 18:53, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Notice

The article Anguilla at the 2014 Commonwealth Games has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Unnecessary fork. No secondary sources. Fails WP:GNG

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Consensus to keep?

Not sure what consensus you're referring to as the consensus at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dominica at the 2010 Commonwealth Games was overwhelmingly in favour of deleting a large number of these articles. AusLondonder (talk) 17:54, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
