==Qian Zhijun==
Hi, Delarge! I would like to inform you that now [[Qian Zhijun]] and [[Little Fatty]] now have articles. Or rather, they are ''back''.
They both survived a DRV. An administrator speedied them since I had started the articles even though I had not started a discussion on whether there is enough evidence to allow subjects to be restored. I started a thread on the BLP noticeboard inquiring about this, the discussion moved to DRV, and after a lot of effort from not only me, but a Singaporean ([[User:Lonelydarksky]]) who helped translate articles in Chinese so I could use them as sources, the articles were restored as a result of the DRV. I must add that I cannot thank the Singaporean enough for helping me with this. The people involved in the 2007 discussions/etc not only failed to examine the sources to check for signs of in-depth analysis, but they also failed to consult Chinese speaking users to get their assistance.
After both articles were restored, to "Little Fatty" I added additional sources from academic journal articles that demonstrate notability from the academic world. Please take a look at them.
[[User:WhisperToMe|WhisperToMe]] ([[User talk:WhisperToMe|talk]]) 05:02, 24 January 2012 (UTC)
* Anyway, I e-mailed Badlydrawnjeff. He told me that he felt strangely vindicated by the matter. [[User:WhisperToMe|WhisperToMe]] ([[User talk:WhisperToMe|talk]]) 17:25, 25 January 2012 (UTC)
::I've been following this from a distance, and was of course delighted at the outcome. Hopefully the successful DRV and article expansion will put this to bed for good. I also noticed the former Doc Glasgow (Scott Mac) has quit again, so that should end any further troubles. And I'm glad someone's let BDJ know; the way he was driven off this site after his many FA contributions was pretty unconscionable, and it ''does'' vindicate his original position. (albeit several years too late).
::I may just reconsider my semi-retirement now... ''--[[User:DeLarge|DeLarge]] ([[User talk:DeLarge#top|talk]]) 10:20, 28 January 2012 (UTC)''
:::I took some steps to make sure that the articles would remain. After "[[Little Fatty]]" was restored, I found some academic journal articles discussing "Little Fatty" and cited them, just to cement the article's notability. At least three (Wallis and the two Cheung sources) discuss the "Little Fatty" phenomenon in depth. I also found that several books talk about it too.
:::I hope that Wikipedians learn from this DRV so they understand the correct way of dealing with notability issues involving foreign subjects. While the 2011 DRV had the new Chinese sources available (as for after the DRV, the four journal articles and the book sources all came in 2009 or later), I also believe that focusing the discussion on the article content and consulting a Chinese speaker helped achieve the successful restoration.

Hi. When you recently edited [[List of motor yachts by length]], you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page [[Katara]] ([[tools:~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/List_of_motor_yachts_by_length|check to confirm]] | [[tools:~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/List_of_motor_yachts_by_length|fix with Dab solver]]).

==Request==
Hi, DeLarge. I respect your reversions about website names and have contributed to dialog on the talk pages of the affected articles. I would only suggest that opening and closing the discussion at [[Slant Magazine]] on the very same day, and closing it in favor of one's own position, might have been handled more constructively. Generally these discussions stay up for a week, and generally aren't closed before someone who had made the move has had a chance to weigh in.
I'm respectful of your requests for formal discussion on what I had thought, perhaps incorrectly, where noncontroversial moves. I ask similar respect in that you reopen this one discussion; less than one day simply doesn't give enough interested editors adequate time to comment. I'm sure two editors of good will can work this out. With regards, --[[User:Tenebrae|Tenebrae]] ([[User talk:Tenebrae|talk]]) 03:42, 8 March 2012 (UTC)
:Initially, I only weighed in to point out that the nominator didn't need to go through the RM process, and only decided to offer a support vote midway through typing my comment. When he said he didn't feel comfortable being so bold, I stepped forward. In retrospect, perhaps I shouldn't have bothered joining the discussion, although if I only had one edit to make, undoing the move would have been it. Nevertheless, I've re-opened the discussion. Regards, ''--[[User:DeLarge|DeLarge]] ([[User talk:DeLarge#top|talk]]) 22:12, 8 March 2012 (UTC)''
::Very kind of you. Thanks. --[[User:Tenebrae|Tenebrae]] ([[User talk:Tenebrae|talk]]) 22:59, 8 March 2012 (UTC)
:::Hey, De. I've been swayed to your point, given the consensus that agrees with it at [[Talk:Comic Book Resources]] and [[Talk:Comics Bulletin]], so I'm withdrawing my requests. I do think we need to be consistent, so I hope you'll respect and support my note at those pages. I must say, it's been good working with an editor who can debate an issue calmly and rationally; even where I might initially disagree, it's nice to see the process working as it should. With regards, [[User:Tenebrae|Tenebrae]] ([[User talk:Tenebrae|talk]]) 23:48, 10 March 2012 (UTC)
:No probs. However, you might want to consider your most recent page moves. I can assure you that the opposition to previous changes cannot be taken as an endorsement of your latest moves, per your apparent assumption here.[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Comic_Book_Resources&diff=prev&oldid=481235876]
:First, check out [[WP:NCDAB]], where three suggestions for a style of disambiguation are offered. One of them is indeed <X (disambiguation term)>, but the first suggestion says ''"When there is another term or more complete name... that is equally clear and is unambiguous, that may be used."'' For websites, using the TLD offers just as much accuracy, and seems to be a more common disambiguator than <X (website)>. So you can't really claim that your page moves are improving things, all they're doing is applying a different, arbitrary style.
:Then—and this is the most important one—check [[WP:TITLECHANGES]]. Specifically, ''"Editing for the sole purpose of changing one controversial title to another is strongly discouraged. '''If an article title has been stable for a long time, and there is no good reason to change it, it should not be changed.''' If it has never been stable, or unstable for a long time, and no consensus can be reached on what the title should be, default to the title used by the first major contributor after the article ceased to be a stub."''
:I hope this clarifies the situation. Regards, ''--[[User:DeLarge|DeLarge]] ([[User talk:DeLarge#top|talk]]) 03:06, 11 March 2012 (UTC)''
::I certainly understand if you don't want to support my move on those two articles. I'd like to address some assumptions in the above, however, in the hopes that you'll chose not to actively oppose them. I believe, for example, that calling these changes "from one controversial title to another" is assumptive: I don't believe there's anything controversial in calling a website a website. In regards to stability, if something is not the most correct title, then we shouldn't use it; continuing to have an incorrect or less correct title through inertia certainly isn't the intent behind promoting stability.
::I also would disagree, strongly with a characterization of the disambiguation "(website)" as being "arbitrary". Going by points made at some of the aforementioned discussions, "Salon.com" would not be a more "complete" name any more than "Nabisco Inc." In both cases, the name of the company is the name of the company, irrespective of their product or medium, and ".com" and "Inc." are both appendages. "(website)" being a synonym of ".com" is by definition equally clear — with the additional benefit of not changing or appending to the actual name of the company.
::I'm sure you have an open mind, and even if my points don't sway you to agree, I hope you'll at least concede there is nothing arbitrary or ill-considered here and perhaps allow other editors, if they wish, to be the ones contending the move at those two articles. Does that sound like a fair balance between our views? --[[User:Tenebrae|Tenebrae]] ([[User talk:Tenebrae|talk]]) 04:28, 11 March 2012 (UTC)
:The word "contoversial" was Wikipedia's, not mine; I was merely quoting a paragraph from the relevant guideline. (The important bit for me was the sentence I bolded.) I believe here it's being used in the WP context, i.e. an uncontroversial change is one that would fix a typographical error. Moving Salon and TMZ were edits another editor disagreed with, ergo they were controversial.
:As for "not the most correct title", I think ''that'' is assumptive. What is actually ''wrong'' about TMZ.com or Salon.com? I appreciate that you personally feel one style is better, but the longtime, widespread existence of both approaches demonstrates that for WP as a whole, both are equally acceptable. That's why I saw your moves as violating the MoS. The irony is that to support your argument, you've used as a parallel the example of companies, which do not have their legal status appended. This is true for [[Nabisco]], which does not require disambiguation, but in fact [[Wikipedia:Naming conventions (companies)|WP:CORP's naming guidelines]] explicitly recommend it where disambiguation is needed. Hence [[Apple Inc.]] and [[Nike, Inc.]]; [[Apple (company)]] and [[Nike (company)]] are both mere redirects.
:Asking for other editors' views would be a great idea, though I believe—given our disagreements, and the fact that your previous good-faith moves were heavily opposed—that a formal move request would be best done after you restore the pages to their original locations. I feel the weight of consensus should be borne by your side, as it were. Regards, ''--[[User:DeLarge|DeLarge]] ([[User talk:DeLarge#top|talk]]) 23:34, 12 March 2012 (UTC)''
::I feel a bit strange about your reply, since I don't follow your logic. My moves followed your own rationale for not having ".com" — that website names don't need them. You cited disambiguation as the reason for Salon.com and TMZ.com — but ".com" is not the only way of disambiguing, and since "(website)" and ".com" are synonymous, and "(website)" doesn't change the company's name, "(website)" is preferable according to your logic of removing them from Comic Book Resources and the like. It seems now as if you're simply determined to disagree with me no matter what. I'm afraid that seems unnecessarily contentious.
::I didn't say anything when you went through several days' worth of my edits, looking for moves you disagreed with, with would seem to fall under the definition of [[WP:HOUND|wikihounding]]. Now, it seems you are continuing to have a very personal, directed issue with me, and intend to follow me around specifically to other articles I edit. I would ask you, please, not to shadow me in an attempt to force your own views on me in an [[WP:OWN]]-like manner. Your indication that you plan to follow me around is troubling. --[[User:Tenebrae|Tenebrae]] ([[User talk:Tenebrae|talk]]) 23:58, 12 March 2012 (UTC)
:My logic is very simple, and follows exactly the section of the MOS I quoted and bolded. I'll do so once more: "'''If an article title has been stable for a long time, and there is no good reason to change it, it should not be changed.'''" There is more than one way to disambiguate, so I will argue for <Foo.com> in one instance, <Foo (website)> in another, and Foo in a third, if that is the longstanding name.
:As for [[WP:STALKING]]... seriously? I don't know whether to be insulted or amused. For the record, '''you''' came to '''my''' talk page and initiated a conversation. I've responded in good faith, and other than that I've made no edits of any description in the last 48 hours. In fact, I've made barely any in the last five days. I have done precisely '''''nothing''''' with either [[TMZ (website)|TMZ]] or [[Salon (website)|Salon]], despite my obvious opposition to their recent moves. Only three days ago you were [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:DeLarge&diff=481237000&oldid=480909551 praising my conduct]—what exactly has changed since then? Which of my '''six''' subsequent edits has concerned you so? What single page have I visited that you consider a demonstration of hounding? Please provide some diffs, or quotes, or... ''anything'' more substantial than your rather puerile and paranoid accusation. ''--[[User:DeLarge|DeLarge]] ([[User talk:DeLarge#top|talk]]) 21:52, 13 March 2012 (UTC)''
::I'm glad you acknowledged that I've treated you with respect and that I've been a flexible and collegial editor. I'm very disappointed that you choose to call me names ("puerile") and to cast highly personal assertions about my mental health ("paranoid accusation"). I think an objective observer would agree those statements were completely uncivil and uncalled for, but you do not.
::For the same reason, I bring up the hounding. I fully understand you don't see it that way. As in your name-calling, you don't think you're doing anything wrong. But that doesn't mean it's OK to name-call or that you're not hounding, which is how I would characterize taking an intense enough interest in another editor to not only look up several past edits in order to revert/challenge them, but then to suggest plans to follow that editor to two more.
::I came to your talk page only after you reverted/challenge a number of my edits. It was absolutely proper of me to come discuss such edits with a fellow editor, so I'm not sure why you're seeming to suggest that this was not the right to do.
::"[T]here is no good reason to change it"? That is an extremely ill-faith statement. You may not agree with me, but that in no way makes my edit non-constructive and done arbitrarily for "no good reason." I think retaining the integrity of a company name — following your example — is a very good reason.
::You don't seem to want to let me or my edits be, or to let the matter drop and let other editors revert/challenge if they wish. I've behaved in good faith; I'd like to think you have as well, despite your saying some unfortunate things. All I can do is hope I've given a calm and reasonable explanation of why I believe that your intimation that you would continue to follow me to Salon and TMZ seems hounding. To put it another way, sometimes it's good to put ourselves in other people's shoes. --[[User:Tenebrae|Tenebrae]] ([[User talk:Tenebrae|talk]]) 22:25, 13 March 2012 (UTC)
:I'm not sure I ever did acknowledge your good conduct. You did with mine, but all I did was highlight your behaviour when it suddenly became lousy. After a week, you've still failed to provide a single diff which supports your nonsensical claim of me hounding you. If you make mistakes and they need to be undone or discussed, that's nothing to do with you personally. You seem to think it's acceptable to make accusations without any evidence or justification, but it's somehow unacceptable for someone to call you out on it. And now, to cap it all, you've stated that a ''direct quotation from the MOS'' is an "ill-faith statement"? You need to take that up at [[Wikipedia talk:Article titles]].
:If you think you're being hounded, put up or shut up: report me at [[WP:ANI]]. Otherwise, you're no longer welcome on this talk page until you're willing to withdraw, redact, or apologise for your accusation. I consider this discussion over until then, and will see you at [[WP:RM]]. ''--[[User:DeLarge|DeLarge]] ([[User talk:DeLarge#top|talk]]) 11:42, 17 March 2012 (UTC)''

I will personally give a $20 Amazon.com gift card to the disambiguator who fixes the most links on that server-day ([https://tools.wmflabs.org/dplbot/ch/dab_challenge.php see the project page for details on scoring points]). Since we are not geared up to do an automated count for that day, at 00:00, 23 November 2013 (UTC) (which is 7:00 PM on November 22, EST), I'll take a screenshot of the project page leaderboard. I will presume that anyone who is not already listed on the leaderboard has precisely <i>nine</i> edits. At 01:00, 24 November 2013 (UTC) (8:00 PM on November 23, EST), I'll take a screenshot of the leaderboard at that time (the extra hour is to give the board time to update), and I will determine from that who our winner is. I <i>will</i> credit links fixed by turning a [[WP:DABCONCEPT]] page into an article, but you'll have to let me know me that you did so. Here's to a fun contest. Note that according to the [[Wikipedia:Disambiguation pages with links/The Daily Disambig|Daily Disambig]], we currently have under 256,000 disambiguation links to be fixed.

== New deal for page patrollers ==
Hi {{BASEPAGENAME}},
In order to better control the quality of new pages, keep out the spam, and welcome the genuine newbies, the [[WP:Page Curation|current system we introduced in 2011]] is being updated and improved. The documentation and tutorials have also been revised and given a facelift. Most importantly a new user group '''New Page Reviewer''' has been created.
Under the new rule, you may find that you are temporarily unable to mark new pages as reviewed. However, this is nothing to worry about - most ''current'' experienced patrollers are being accorded the the new right without the need to apply, and if you have significant previous experience of patrolling new pages, we strongly encourage you to apply for the new right as soon as possible - we need all the help we can get, and we are now providing a dynamic, supportive environment for your work.
Find out more about this exiting new user right now at [[Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Reviewers|'''''New Page Reviewers''''']] and be sure to read the new tutorial before applying.
