Thanks for changing the color! :) [[User:Zoe]]|[[User talk:Zoe|^(talk)]] 17:09, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

: No problem - I was trying to distinguish it from the "you have new messages" colour theme because I kept on getting excited when I saw that orange box. The letdown after realising I don't have new messages was just terrible.

== My RFC ==

Hi Talrias. I respect your right to bring an RFC on me, and for others to comment as well. Aside from my request for more formality in the proceedings, I have nothing to say that would be productive. Thank you for taking time in this matter. --[[User:Jeffrey O. Gustafson|Jeffrey O. Gustafson]] - ''[[User:Jeffrey O. Gustafson/Shazaam|Shazaam!]]'' - [[User_Talk:Jeffrey O.

==Freestylefrappe's edit summary==

I know I'm probably not the one to answer your question about Freestylefrappe's edit summary at [[Wikipedia:Requests for bureaucratship/Jtkiefer 3|Jtkiefer's RFB]] but see:

''[[WP:AN/I#Immidiate_attention_needed:_User:Freestylefrappe_and_User:Jeffrey_O._Gustafson.]]''

to see why he responded like that.

== COTW ==

I reverted your removal on COTW cus I'm pretty sure redlinks are allowed to be COTW's. Read carefully on the guidelines you'll see this is true. Thanks, --[[User:Urthogie|Urthogie]] 10:48, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

== Devs hate Godmode light diff ==

Sure. [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Village_pump_%28technical%29&diff=prev&oldid=32498750 This diff] popped out in my head immediately (which is from [[User:Robchurch|Rob Church]], if you look at the contribs closely).

== Aidan Work ==

I have indefinitely blocked [[User:Aidan Work|Aidan Work]] from editing Wikipedia. A review of his behaviour this month alone shows that it is way beyond the bounds of acceptability. He could have been blocked for any number of reasons, but inciting hatred through advocating homosexuals on top of all his other outrageous behaviour was one step too far.

PS: best of luck with the exams. [[User:Jtdirl|<span style="color:#006666; background-color:orange">'''Fear''ÉIREANN'''''</span>]][[Image:Ireland-Capitals.PNG|15px]]\^{<font color="blue">[[User talk:Jtdirl|(caint)]]</font>} 04:33, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

: Thanks for letting me know. I do agree his general behaviour was pretty unacceptable. Perhaps rather than an indefinite block we could block him for a year. If he comes back and continues to behave in the same way, we could just reblock for another year. Thanks for the well-wishes, [[User:Talrias|Talrias]] ([[User_talk:Talrias|t]] | [[Special:Emailuser/Talrias|e]] | [[Special:Contributions/Talrias|c]]) 12:22, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

== Polls ==

When polling about a page, please state clearly at the top of the page what you're actually polling about (rather than starting with common objections, because people won't know what the objections are objecting against yet). Also, in general, one should decide what to ask before polling for it. Most dissenters here aren't in fact objecting to the proposal, but confused about the implications. Just trying to clear that up, and Locke has already improved it a lot, it seems. [[User:Radiant!|R]][[User_talk:Radiant!|adiant]][[meta:mergist|_<font color="orange">&gt;|&lt;</font>]] 19:42, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

: Yes, I know what you were trying to do, but you did it in a rather unhelpful way. For example, you added "it is rather unclear to me at this point how people are proposing to do this" and "Please replace this paragraph with a summary of the proposal" at the top of the page. This clearly doesn't improve the proposal; a more helpful thing to do would have been to mention on the proposal's talk page the things you found confusing and someone would have explained it to you on the talk page and updated the proposal accordingly.

I removed my vote because after doing some additional research I realized that I wasn't really sure about it. I hope it is fine for me to do so. --[[User:Missmarple|Missmarple]] 16:40, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

: Of course, I was just curious as to the reason. Thanks for explaining. [[User:Talrias|Talrias]] ([[User_talk:Talrias|t]] | [[Special:Emailuser/Talrias|e]] | [[Special:Contributions/Talrias|c]]) 17:10, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

== [[phpBB]] external links ==

Hi, Talrias. I noticed that you discussed the subject of listing unofficial sites as external links on the [[phpBB]] article. [[Talk:PhpBB#Headline text|Another dispute]] has come up over a link to [http://www.phpbbhacks.com/ phpbbhacks.com], and I'd appreciate it if you could come join the discussion there. Thanks! [[User:Alerante|æle]] <small>[[User talk:Alerante|✆]]</small> 23:20, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

==Éamon de Valera==

Where's your evidence that his name is Eamon? Both official and unofficial sources record it as Éamon. {{unsigned|El Gringo|00:19, 27 January 2006}}

: The BBC for one call him Eamon. [http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/historic_figures/devalera.shtml]. [[User:Talrias|Talrias]] ([[User_talk:Talrias|t]] | [[Special:Emailuser/Talrias|e]] | [[Special:Contributions/Talrias|c]]) 12:43, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

:: The BBC, for one, is not Irish, so invoking some improbable authority of a foreign media organisation on the correct name of an Irish leader is rather strange. The article is about a person's real name. His real name in state documents is Éamon, not Eamon. Therefore, and regardless of your evident prejudices, that form should be used.[[User:El Gringo|El Gringo]] 01:54, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

::: Well, a quick search on [[RTÉ]], the Irish public broadcaster, turned out that they use "Eamon", without the accent, as well[http://www.rte.ie/laweb/brc/brc_1960s.html]. And I'd be grateful if you didn't accuse of me of having "evident prejucidices" without at least the courtesy of mentioning what they are (I'm not sure any of my evident prejucides cover the usage of accents in Irish language names. People who push on the bus, maybe.). [[User:Talrias|Talrias]] ([[User_talk:Talrias|t]] | [[Special:Emailuser/Talrias|e]] | [[Special:Contributions/Talrias|c]]) 08:10, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

== Bot ==

I've finished the bot after some discussion. It's running in #pgk-test still and only you require help at time of writing.

What it will do is check the page every 3 minutes, add and remove from it's list and appropriate then list upto 15 (parameterisable) in order of entry to the list (down to the 3 minute granularity). That way it won't get too far out of hand. Freakofnurture has a copy of the code. As previously discussed it relies on pywikipedia, twisted and twisted.words. I'll be around on and off tomorrow since I need to do what I should have done today... --[[User:Pgk|pgk]]^{(<font color="mediumseagreen">[[User_talk:Pgk|talk]]</font>)} 23:03, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

== RFR poll (II) ==

Thanks for your comments, but as it stands I'll leave my vote as is. If someone is trusted enough to get the rollback fuctions, they are trusted enough to be an admin. That's my ultimate opinion These tools shouldn't be split up. If someone fails at RFA, it's because they have not earned the trust of the community. I don't see why we should trust people with part of the admin tool box who we are not prepared to trust with the full box. Further, have you considered that the same thing that you detail on my talk page as having happened to RFA will eventually happen to RFR? [[User:Steve block|Steve block]] [[User talk:Steve block|talk]] 14:05, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

: Yes, I have considered it, and I believe it unlikely - calling the procedure requests for rollback leaves very little room for scope-creep as has happened with adminship (cf. unwatched pages, admin IRC channels, etc.). The policy for usage of rollback leaves very little room for interpretation - you can't use rollback in a content dispute for "the good of the encyclopaedia" while admins are allowed to, and do delete/undelete pages for "the good of the encyclopaedia". Rollback is a shortcut for an action any user can take, which is why I don't really see it as an admin tool. It's a trusted editor tool, if anything.

::::::No, there are editors who are not trusted by the community. You can't be trusted if you're not granted adminship. And if people don't want to be admins, then they don't get to use the tools. I can think of one noteable editor who refused adminship for ages and it never bothered him. Why should anyone not want to be an admin but want the admin tools? That's a bit like not wanting to celebrate Christmas but expecting the presents. As to the myriad of other reasons, since you can't list them, I can't debate them, so that's a bit of a pointless statement. I'd argue, though, that this argument is rather circular. Can we just agree to disagree? I respect your opinion, I just believe we already have a suitable system in place. You don't.

== My RFR vote ==

I suspect that was a form letter, as I never said that "adminship is no big deal". It is a big deal, which is why only a few people get it. I just don't think we need to complicate things by creating another user level, with its own request page, etc., when its abilities can be perfectly duplicated by one of several scripts available. "I think that adminship should be no big deal, like you" Like I said, a form letter. Don't assume that everyone who disagrees with you shares the same reasons. I just don't think we need to complicate processes and userlevels any further. --[[User:Golbez|Golbez]] 14:48, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

: I must have misintepreted you when you said "No level required between user and admin.", then. My apologies. Perhaps you could read the [[Wikipedia:Requests for rollback privileges#Replies to common objections|replies to common objections]] section where it explains why the scripts available are not sufficient.

== RFR vote ==

Hi Talrias. Thank you for taking the time to explain your point of view. My greatest fear about adding an extra process to determine which non-admin contributors can be granted rollback, is that it will put an additional barrier between ''adminship'', and those who deserve it. As you noted it, the "standards for ''adminship'' have become higher"; the way I see it is that we are drifting away from the "''adminship'' should be no big deal" ''ideal'' with an increasing speed. Candidates are now asked to be exceptionally prolific, experienced editors with a perfectly clean record, when in fact all sufficiently experienced and good contributors should have ''adminship''. I'm quite aware that there is no way to reverse this process, and that the standards at WP:RFA will only become ever tighter if anything. However, what I would hate to see is good RFA candidates being routinely told to "ask for rollback first", and "work with that and wait a few months"; I feel that can only make things worse.

: Thanks, Phils, for explaining. I'm afraid I have no solutions to making RFA less of a big deal. That's why I proposed this RFR policy - while it won't change the nature of RFA, it will help Wikipedia as it will give more people the ability to swiftly remove vandalism.

== Deathphoenix's RFR vote ==

I never said that adminship is "no big deal". I think now, times have changed from when Jimbo said that, so I would certainly never say that admiship is no big deal. I know your message was mos likely a form letter, but you should really look at what people actually wrote before you unilaterally paint them with the "no big deal" brush.

That said, I am against adding a further level of red tape: adminship comes as a package. If you can't be trusted with the entire adminship, you can't be trusted with the rollback tool. As for thoes who don't want to apply to be an admin, if you want the rollback tool, you should apply for adminship. There is a reason why rollback is limited to admins, and adding another level of usership is unnecessary bureacracy.

I don't think I'm going to convince you, and you won't be able to convince me, so let's just agree to disagree on this point, okay? :-) --[[User:Deathphoenix|D]][[Wikipedia:Esperanza|'''e''']][[User:Deathphoenix|ath]][[User_talk:Deathphoenix|'''phoenix''']] 16:05, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

: I was referring to your statement that "[s]omeone trustworthy enough to get rollback privileges should also be trustworthy enough for adminship." My apologies for your misinterpretation. However, I don't see why you think that rollback is a part of the adminship package when it is just a quick way to revert (which any user can do). What is the reason that rollback is limited to admins?

== The welcome template ==

Hi Talrias. Thank you for joining the discussion at [[template talk:welcome]]. Actually, if I may suggest, this is the approach you should have taken earlier, before you even added the links there, and before you readded the links today. You see, all of us are administrators, and of course can modify that page at our liking. But that is not the right approach to things; the correct approach is to discuss things. Such a discussion has been going at [[template talk:welcome]] for the last week, caused by your original edit, and again, I am happy you are finally joining that. Thanks. [[User:Oleg Alexandrov|Oleg Alexandrov]] ([[User talk:Oleg Alexandrov|talk]]) 22:57, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

: I originally added a minor link, yes, but it was Danny who really changed the template (in [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Welcome&diff=next&oldid=37098491 this edit]). In fact, we've had some great success with the {{tl|helpme}} template - it's clearly being used due to its presence in the welcome message and I think it would be a big mistake to remove it. [[User:Talrias|Talrias]] ([[User_talk:Talrias|t]] | [[Special:Emailuser/Talrias|e]] | [[Special:Contributions/Talrias|c]]) 23:02, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

:: Yeah, you are right, Danny moved your contribution up. I am sure you guys are having a cool project, and the consensus seems clear about keeping {{tl|helpme}} in. The bootcamp is the big issue, and I would have appreciated more talk and less use of admin powers when making the case for that. Anyway, there is a lively discussion at [[template talk:welcome]] (note I moved down your comment over there), and all of us being well-meaning people, we will end up with some kind of solution. :) [[User:Oleg Alexandrov|Oleg Alexandrov]] ([[User talk:Oleg Alexandrov|talk]]) 00:10, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

== RFR ==

Yes, I am voting against voting. It is entirely unclear to me why the straw poll suddenly requires "official closure" and such; I've asked on its talk page and not received an answer. If you wanted this poll to display consensus for acting upon a certain proposal, then it has failed, and I would object to using it on that grounds. If you are going to use this poll as the base for yet further discussion (which doesn't require official closure of the poll, by the awy), and use opposing comments to form some process that most people agree upon (and please don't ask for a vote on that one) I'd happily agree. But basically the metaprocess for creating a RFR process has become nearly as confusing as the initial Deletion Reform metadiscussions. It is getting tied up in bureaucracy, and I object to that. [[User_talk:Radiant!|<b><font color="#DD0000">&gt;<font color="#FF6600">R<font color="#FF9900">a<font color="#FFCC00">d<font color="#FFEE00">i</font>a</font>n</font>t</font>&lt;</font></b>]] 19:56, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

: The metaprocess for creating an RFR process has become confusing? I really have no idea what you are talking about. The procedure by which rollback would be granted has remained the same throughout the entire history of the proposal. The debate has been on specifics. Hardly confusing. There is little bureaucracy. Could you provide some more specific details, rather than generalised complaints, so I can better understand what you are getting at? [[User:Talrias|Talrias]] ([[User_talk:Talrias|t]] | [[Special:Emailuser/Talrias|e]] | [[Special:Contributions/Talrias|c]]) 21:47, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

:: Nah, never mind. I'd say just go for it, it's been discussed for too long and most people point in the same direction.

== Editing the user pages of people with whom you are in conflict ==

If you assert that my use of rollback was improper, then you should not have used it yourself. It is impolite to delete content from other people's user pages, especially when they are taking a break from conflict. You really should not be editing the user pages of people with whom you are in conflict. [[User:Guettarda|Guettarda]] 20:20, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

: I didn't use rollback in the first place. It is of course impolite (and more than that!) to accuse someone of being a neo-Nazi. And I don't believe I'm in conflict with anyone at the moment. I see you've reverted *again*, this is what the discussion button is for, not discussing only when your preferred version is on the page. [[User:Talrias|Talrias]] ([[User_talk:Talrias|t]] | [[Special:Emailuser/Talrias|e]] | [[Special:Contributions/Talrias|c]]) 20:25, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

::I don't know - ''you'' rolled back and then scolded me. If you want to scold people for "improper" use of rollback, you should retain the moral high ground. If you want to scold people about reverting instead of discussing, you should discuss before you rollback. And if you want someone to remove something from their userpage, you can '''ask'''. As for conflict - just because you've stopped attacking Slim & co. doesn't mean you aren't in conflict with them. Kicking someone when they are down is '''never''' acceptable. Acting wronged when I undid the wrong you did is childish, as is complaining about the things you yourself as doing. If reverting first and talking second is wrong, then it's just as wrong for you as it is for me. If using rollback is wrong, then it's just as wrong for you as it is for me - worse, because your alteration of El_C's userpage was out of line.

::if you consider my actions wrong, then your doing the same thing is ''doubly'' wrong, since I at least have the excuse that I didn't see my actions as wrong.

::: I don't agree that my removal of that text from El_C's user page was out of line, and evidently we'll have to agree to disagree on that issue.

::::::::::: You used rollback on my ''non-vandalism'' rollback of your alteration of El_C's page - the original edit of which was pretty close to vandalism, since you were altering the content of the user page of a person with whom you were in conflict. Reverting your attempt to kick your opponent when he was down was absolutely not vandalism under any definition of the term - in fact, by your definition it was an acceptable use of rollback.

:::::::::::: Guettarda, you'll really have to explain to me how removing an allegation that Igor Alexander is the Nazi Alex Linder is vandalism. The question was originally "Was the Wikipedia Review forum founded by the Nazi Alex Linder (forum Admin Igor Alexander)?" The question makes assumptions that have to be correct for the question to be valid. So it makes the statement that those assumptions are valid. In this case, the assumption is that Alex Linder is Igor Alexander, and that Igor Alexander/Alex Linder is a Nazi.

:::::::::::::By your definition (not mine)your action was vandalism. (BTW - I am still waiting for the policy or guideline upon which your opinion is based). My revert of your edit was obviously not vandalism - you should not be editing the user page of someone you are in conflict with, and inasmuch as you choose to protect your user page, you have no justification to edit ''anyone's'' user page. By your definition, your "abuse" of rollback was vandalism. If you choose some arbitrary standards you should ''at the very least'' apply them to yourself. [[User:Guettarda|Guettarda]] 03:44, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

:::::::::::::: I'm getting the feeling that I am repeating myself here. My user page is not protected. My actions were (obviously) not covered under my "definition" of vandalism.

You used rollback on a non-vandalism edit '''and then scolded me about having done the same''' (when your usage was far more egregious than mine). You then scolded Dunc others for the same thing. There is no way that this can be interpreted as anything other than failing to apply your own standards. You edited the page to ''your prefered version'' before talking, '''and then scolded me for doing the same'''. Once again, ''your failed to apply your own standards''. I am not the one making incorrect statements - you are the one denying things that are patently obvious. [[User:Guettarda|Guettarda]] 12:39, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

As I have said, I used rollback on your edit since you reverted my initial edit (which indeed had an edit summary), without explanation. You didn't even have the courtesy to provide an edit summary. You definitely didn't mention it on my talk page that you had reverted my initial edit. I'm still waiting for you to explain why you used rollback on my initial edit, and why you didn't explain (in any shape or form) why you did so.

You know, you could simply have said "no, it's not protected, it's just protected against moves", like sannse pointed out to me, and I would have said, "sorry, my mistake". Simple enough. I was wrong. As for the other stuff - you can admit that you were wrong with regards to scolding other people for using rollback when you did the same, and you could admit that you were wrong to edit El_C's user page when you were in conflict with him and to pretty much start dismantling his legacy before the ink on his farewell was dry - or not, as you please. I don't care if you can't admit that you were wrong. I don't care if you feel you need to get the last word on everything. I just ''hope'' that the point gets through that:

* you should not be scolding people about doing the things you are yourself doing, because it makes you look silly;

* you should not be editing the user pages of people you are in conflict (like El_C now and Slim in the past) because it promotes ill-will and makes you look like a troublemaker; and

* if you ''want'' to do something that will piss off a large number of people you should choose a time when the community is not already traumatised like it is right now.

I do hope that some of that gets through your hostility. If you still need to win the argument, feel free to add another notch to your belt. I really couldn't care less. [[User:Guettarda|Guettarda]] 18:56, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

Hi Talrias, on the [[Sinn Fein]] article you remark in an edit summary: "this is historically untrue, the MPs elected to the HoC of NI were responsible for opting out". This strikes me as a bit weird, as the House of Commons of Northern Ireland was set up in the first place to provide a unionist mini-state - it was the British government who decided on its creation. Obviously once it was created in a particular region of the country that had a solid unionist majority, it did indeed maintain a secessionist position - but that's a strange point in time to use as a reference point. [[User:Palmiro|Palmiro]] | [[User talk:Palmiro|Talk]] 13:42, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

== [[WP:BAG]] election ==

: That's right, but your edit changed the text to "The Irish people did not have a vote on partition, and as such Sinn Féin tend not to use the term "northern Ireland" as they view the partition as democratically incorrect." This is rather hazy language as the Irish people had their elected MPs (pretty much all of them Sinn Fein in the south, and unionist in the north). It was a legitimate democratically action (gerrymandering is unfortunately legitimate, as is bad policymaking), and the Irish people did have a vote on it - through the concepts of representative democracy. The wording is generally hazy and the previous wording is much more precise. It could, however, be expanded to provide a bit more background for the division of Ireland.

::Not my edit, anyway! But the previous version correctly represented the Sinn Fein point of view, which is surely what's relevant at this particular point; your change removes their argument, and replaces it with what strikes me as a rather tendentious version - not that I think you were being deliberately tendentious, far from it. After all, the six counties did not individually choose to remain in the UK; the UK created a parliament for those six counties, which then made the decision; the establishment of those six counties as a separate entity was a decision made by the UK government and it is certainly true that the people of Ireland as a whole had no real choice in the matter (should they have had? that's another question and bound to arise and be contested in any case of secession) and that Sinn Fein regard this as an undemocratic act and a historic injustice.

There have been a series of proposals to initiate a Featured List of the Day on the main page. Numerous proposals have been put forth. After the third one failed, I audited all [[WP:FL]]'s in order to begin an experiment in my own user space that will hopefully get it going. Today, it commences at [[WP:LOTD]]. Afterwards I created my experimental page, a new proposal was set forth to do a featured list that is strikingly similar to my own which is to do a user page experimental featured list, but no format has been confirmed and mechanism set in place. I continue to be willing to do the experiment myself and with this posting it commences. Please submit any list that you would like to have considered for list of the day in the month of January 2008 by the end of this month to [[WP:LOTD]] and its subpages.

A tag has been placed on [[Template:UKCOTWC]] requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under [[WP:CSD#T3|section T3 of the criteria for speedy deletion]], because it is a deprecated or orphaned template. After seven days, if it is still unused and the speedy deletion tag has not been removed, the template will be deleted.

If the template is intended to be substituted, please feel free to remove the speedy deletion tag and please consider putting a note on the template's page indicating that it is substituted so as to avoid any future mistakes (<tt>&lt;noinclude>&#123;{transclusionless}}&lt;/noinclude></tt>).

Thankfully Omegatron noticed something wasn't right and used the only tool to stop it, the block.

Hi. My bot (YurikBot) for some unknown reason started loosing login cookies (perhaps something on the server, as no bot changes were made). Apparently only about 10 edits per incident are made without login, and bot starts editing ok again. If you see it running amok, please only block for 15 min - this way the bot will stop and i will force-login it. Thanks. --[[User:Yurik|Yurik]] 10:56, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

== TFL notification ==

==Lowercase template==

Hi Talrias,

Hi, Talrias. I'm just posting to let you know that [[List of Prime Ministers of the United Kingdom]] – a list that you have been heavily involved with – has been chosen to appear on the Main Page as [[WP:TFL|Today's featured list]] for November 6. The TFL blurb can be seen [[Wikipedia:Today's featured list/November 6, 2017|here]]. If you have any thoughts on the selection, please post them on my talk page or at [[WT:TFL|TFL talk]]. Regards, [[User:Giants2008|<span style="color:blue;">Giants2008</span>]] ([[User talk:Giants2008|<span style="color:darkblue;">Talk</span>]]) 21:29, 16 October 2017 (UTC)

I don't understand why you removed {{tl|lowercase}} from the various redirects to [[omega-consistent theory]]. They are quite necessary; the uppercase Ω is quite wrong in context. I have no real objection to the addition of {{tl|r from alternate spelling}} but the lowercase template really needs to stay.

== [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|Proposed deletion]] of [[:File:Tirben-flag.png]] ==

[[File:Ambox warning yellow.svg|left|link=|alt=Notice|48px|]]

The file [[:File:Tirben-flag.png]] has been [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed for deletion]]&#32;because of the following concern:

(Oh, BTW, #redirect works just as well as #REDIRECT; there's no need to change those.) --[[User:Trovatore|Trovatore]] 18:45, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

<blockquote>'''Orphaned image. A proposed flag for a micronation of wikipedia editors which existed on IRC and a [[User:Talrias/Tirben|User subpage]]. [[WP:NOTWEBHOST]]'''</blockquote>

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be [[WP:DEL#REASON|deleted for any of several reasons]].

: I removed it because that template is for articles, not redirects. [[User:Talrias|Talrias]] ([[User_talk:Talrias|t]] | [[Special:Emailuser/Talrias|e]] | [[Special:Contributions/Talrias|c]]) 18:51, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your [[Help:edit summary|edit summary]] or on [[File talk:Tirben-flag.png|the file's talk page]].

::That's certainly what it was principally designed for, no argument there. But it still serves a useful purpose in redirects. It documents the fact that the intended name has the lowercase character; that's good to know if, say, the article is moved to the name of the redirect. It adds the redirect to the appropriate maintenance category, and it ought to be there, in case the technical restriction is ever lifted (I don't see that it ever made sense for Greek characters). And it's useful to anyone looking at the redirect itself; without it, such a person might be misled into thinking "Ω-consistent theory" is what's being discussed (note that there's a logic called Ω-logic, with the uppercase, and being "consistent" with respect to that logic is quite another thing entirely). --[[User:Trovatore|Trovatore]] 18:57, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed deletion process]], but other [[Wikipedia:deletion process|deletion process]]es exist. In particular, the [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|speedy deletion]] process can result in deletion without discussion, and [[Wikipedia:Files for discussion|files for discussion]] allows discussion to reach [[Wikipedia:Consensus|consensus]] for deletion.<!-- Template:Proposed deletion notify --> <span style="color:#fff;background:Blue">&nbsp;★&nbsp;</span> [[User:BigrTex|<span style="color: blue;">Bigr</span>]] [[User Talk:BigrTex|<span style="color: red;">Tex</span>]] 03:08, 1 May 2021 (UTC)

::: Well, I removed it because I was looking through the category and saw lots of articles with similar titles, and I was trying to clean it up a bit, by removing redirects. After all, the redirects clearly show that the article is not in fact on that page, but on the one it's redirecting to.
