I understand what you are doing and agree that is the title that article should be at, but a copy and paste move over a redirect loses edit history as a consequence. I'll place a request to delete the redirect to make way for the move. Hwy43 ( talk) 04:52, 5 December 2013 (UTC)
Hi, would you mind having another look. — Vensatry (Ping me) 06:51, 6 December 2013 (UTC) From what I've read, it's pretty good. Much better than many of the other pages for cities in Tamil Nadu. Unfortunately I do not have that much time at the moment to read the whole article (it is quite long!). If time permits I will try for another section. 15:18, 6 December 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for the response. Though I'm not forcing, you could collapse the comments if you feel that they're addressed, else there is a chance that delegates might think they're not resolved. Two of the three reviewers who had took part earlier are yet to respond. — Vensatry (Ping me) 13:31, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
Trust me. It's a bad article and it'll probably never improve. I've seen user accounts deleted over this article, ip blocks established, epic edit-wars and it never really gets any better. I'd say just try to minimize the damage by removing links into the FLG article wherever you find them. Simonm223 ( talk) 19:19, 11 February 2014 (UTC)

Hi Mattximus, I'm planning on re-nominating the diagram I drew for FP again, but I was wondering if you could review it at your leisure prior to the nomination. I just noticed your follow-up comments on the closed FP nomination - Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/TAAR1-Dopamine neuron. I made a slightly different tweak to the image to expand upon its ability to diffuse through membranes and uploaded it to the unused png version: File:TAAR1 Amphetamine Dopamine.png (current annotated SVG version: {{ Amphetamine pharmacodynamics}}).
Do you think I should use this version, or just move both entry points to the right side? Should only take me around 10 minutes to move everything if it's better on the right.
Also, thanks for all your feedback so far! It's been quite helpful in improving the image.

As you seem to have a thing against the "future" buildings section, note WP:CRYSTAL is not applicable. I know many people are confused about what CRYSTAL means, and generally they think it is some sort of prohibition on future things. What it really is, is a prohibition from Wikipedia editors speculating. As in I can't come up with my own ideas about the future and added them into an article (in many ways CRYSTAL is repetitive of OR). But we can regurgitate the speculation about the future found in RS, which should be clear by the very first sentence of CRYSTAL: "Wikipedia is not a collection of unverifiable speculation." (emphasis added) So we can have a section entitled "Tallest under construction, approved and proposed" and not run afoul of anything. Individual entries may run afoul if not sourced, but the section itself does not. Aboutmovies ( talk) 04:08, 22 May 2014 (UTC)

Not sure I understand your reversion about lower-tier municipalities. If all of them are lower-tier, it should go without saying that none of them are upper tier, right? Like, if you have five cats and all of them are black, you wouldn't need to say no white ones are present. Or orange or anything. Because all cats that are present are black. Same deal, or no? InedibleHulk (talk) 21:43, October 15, 2014 (UTC)
Thanks for the reply InedibleHulk! I was hoping you would discuss to make sure my reasoning is correct. My logic is that since all municipalities are single-tier in the north, then they are either all lower-tier or all higher-tier. So you have a bifurcation, and that's why there is the phrase "upper-tier municipalities are not present" is present. So in your metaphor you have five cats and some are long haired and some are short haired. Sure they are all cats, but if you cared about the length of hair you would have to add "short hairs are not present" to "all the animals are cats". But you bring up a good point, would it be more clear to say "and all are lower-tier municipalities?" I would go for that change, just to get rid of the negative.

Hi Mattximus. I've done a bit of investigating after your posts on my talk page, and it turns out that none of the lists (from what I can tell) were ever actually demoted. The demotions you are referring to appear to be related to this discussion that resulted in the delisting of a featured topic. That appears to be because a related list didn't pass FLC, not because of faults in any of the other lists. Even if they had been mentioned, a decision made at the featured topics process doesn't govern whether a particular list is featured. I also looked at WP:FLRC archives at Template:Featured list log and found no FLRC discussions for any of the lists. Therefore, they are still featured, although they don't appear to meet current FL standards. My suggestion is to take one of the lists to FLRC for a community discussion, and go on to post other lists if reviewers favor delisting. Giants2008 ( Talk) 02:17, 7 December 2014 (UTC)
Mattximus, yeah I generally view Wikipedia using a 14"(?) laptop. As such, the images as currently laid out at List of municipalities in British Columbia (and also List of municipalities in Quebec, for example) do definitely "break" the page layout (by "pushing the list table down the page while leaving a lot of blank white space") when viewed on my laptop... So, something for editors of those pages to keep in mind – images are well and good, but WP:NOTGALLERY and all that, and it's probably best to try to design page layouts that will work on the maximum number of screen sizes (which is why I suggested switching to a {{ Gallery}} at the bottom of the article)... Just thought you should know. -- IJBall ( talk) 05:25, 14 December 2014 (UTC)
Minor request: Any chance you can add a picture of Victoria to the gallery of List of municipalities in British Columbia then? It seems odd that that one is missing a picture of the capital city! Thanks! -- IJBall ( talk) 17:43, 14 December 2014 (UTC)
Hi, Matt. I'm just posting to let you know that List of municipalities in Yukon – a list that you have been heavily involved with – has been chosen to appear on the Main Page as Today's featured list for March 27.

Hmmmm, there's no single document that's easily found. Regulation 85-6 doesn't include the date of incorporation.
You can get the Municipalities Act from the Government of New Brunswick website, which will list the villages incorporated 1966-11-06 in one of the appendices (second one, I think), but the online version includes only the villages from that Act that still exist. The appendix does list what status each such village had before 1966. The Act and its Regulations are at http://laws.gnb.ca/en/BROWSECHAPTER?listregulations=M-22&letter=M#M-22
I don't have my files with me on my laptop, so I can't provide more detail than that. I can take a copy of the page home and add the dates, but with two blizzards in the next four days, it could be awhile before I get it done. G. Timothy Walton ( talk) 13:55, 14 March 2015 (UTC)
Thanks G. Timothy Walton! I used your link and added the specific date to any village mentioned in the document, assuming that means their day of of incorporation is all the same (the year is cross-checked and should be accurate). I'm still searching for proper references for the remaining incorporation dates, but I'm wondering if you have time to take a look at List of municipalities in New Brunswick for any inaccuracies that might be present.

You have my permission (in case it's needed) to nominate the rest of the lists, but I recommend doing so in separate FLRCs. I'm not sure how closings would go if one giant FLRC was done for all the lists, and there's no precedent for such an event anyway. Better to have a bunch of nominations and let reviewers copy their comments if necessary. Giants2008 ( Talk) 22:07, 7 April 2015 (UTC)

HK is referred to as "Hong Kong, China" is every international organisations including the International Olympic Committee, and is recognised by the Central Government of P.R. China as "The Olympic Standard". Even the Central Government of P.R. China referred to Hong Kong as "Hong Kong, China" in international situations. Please withdraw your pathetic patriotism and follow the standard approved and followed by every parties (including the government of P.R. China) in the international situations. The same goes with the HKSAR Flag. And to make it more clear, country, which Hong Kong certainly is (as an independent economy), is not the same as sovereignty state, which Hong Kong is not. And the Chinese translation of "country" used by the government of P.R. China should be 「国家或地区」。 Also, Hong Kong is not a province of P.R. China, but a Special Administration Region. It enjoys independent currency, border, legal system, etc; and is has joined dozens of international organisations along with signing international treaties with other countries and economies, which none of the provinces of P.R. China can. Please accept the fact that Hong Kong is a country (in your understanding, region, if you would like to call it so), and can use its SAR flag with approve from the central government of P.R. China and recognised by the international society. Groverlynn ( talk) 14:35, 9 August 2015 (UTC)
Hi, Mattximus. Earlier this year, you had pretty much all of the Wikipedia:Featured topics/Canadian election timelines articles, except List of Alberta general elections, delisted as Featured lists – and rightly so, as those articles were all pretty much lacking inline reference sourcing. Well, I've started working on improving List of British Columbia general elections – e.g. I've fixed the formatting on the election tables ( WP:SALORDER), and I've stared adding inline sourcing (though I'm definitely not done yet); and I will probably revise the election table to look a little more like the Alberta one. But I'm wondering if you know what else needs to be done here – any suggestions you've got for me to further improve List of British Columbia general elections would certainly be welcome. Once this BC elections article is mostly back on track, I'm going to try to send it back to Featured lists to see if I can get it relisted... Thanks in advance!

As you appear to be working on this topic, you may wish to peruse User:RadioKAOS/Sandbox/Misc/CDPs. It took a little while to find the proper census documents (in the meanwhile, the state labor department may have put it all online, but I haven't taken the time to go through their website). Considering that we have tons of holes in our coverage of things like former cities and former CDPs, I've tried to trace the differences between the 1980 Census and today. I figured that 1980 would make a good starting point because it's the first appearance of the term "census-designated place". Equivalents in prior censuses (referred to as a "village" or "unincorporated community") are murky, especially since many are not enumerated separately today because they were annexed by cities. It's still incomplete; I didn't make the kind of progress I hoped for considering how many years this has lingered on already. I'll keep trying when I have time.

Hi Mattximus. Thank you for your work on the List of cities in Alaska article—it looks really good! I noticed that while editing the article you attempted to move the page to a different title by copying its content at the old title and pasting it at the new one. This is known as a " cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history. Wikipedia's content licensing requires that we attribute all content to its authors—this is typically done through the page history function. When you do a cut-and-paste move, the history of the page, along with all the author names, remains at the former title, thereby denying the authors the legally required attribution.
In the future, if you need to rename a page, use the "Move" dropdown menu option, or if the title you want to move the page to already exists (thus preventing you from using the dropdown menu option), you may request that an administrator help by deleting the problematic page and completing the move for you at Wikipedia:Requested moves/Technical requests. In the meantime, I have requested that an administrator merge the histories of List of cities in Alaska by population and List of cities in Alaska to remedy the situation. Thanks, Mz7 ( talk) 20:06, 1 September 2015 (UTC)
Two things. First, from checking the links attached to references which were already in the article, I'm coming up with a lot of dead links. Anything on the DCCED website is likely still there, just moved to a different location. Second, I started adding exact dates with references to the Incorporated field. I'm sure there's a less clunky way to format those references, but I haven't played around much with those citation templates. There were sources missing from a few, but those cities are really the easiest to source otherwise. Cheers. RadioKAOS / Talk to me, Billy / Transmissions 20:22, 3 September 2015 (UTC)
