The article Frances and Richard Lockridge has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
A separate article now exists for Frances Louise Lockridge, in addition to Richard Lockridge
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.
Hi User:Roman_Spinner! I've gone ahead and created a separate page for Frances Louise Lockridge, so I'm proposing to delete the joint redirect to her husband, which it looks like you created some years ago. Letting you know per the protocol, let me know if you see any issue. Thanks! Bookworm-ce (talk) 02:47, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

Discrimination towards Irish people
[edit]You never addressed the allegation here that your continued campaigning against the use of diacritics in Wikipedia titles ([1][2][3][4][5][6]) is potentially discriminatory towards Irish people. Could you do so? seefooddiet (talk) 21:13, 19 October 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you for contacting me regarding this matter which I would be happy to address. The key words in my so-called "boilerplate vote", "Oppose. Since English language does not contain accents or diacritics, transliterations into English from languages that do not use the Latin alphabet likewise should not contain any marks that are not part of English", are English language and Latin alphabet.
- Since the only consideration in the matter at hand, is Irish use of the written English language, such use is no different than English as used in English-language newspapers published in Britain, Australia, South Africa or India. Websites for Irish newspapers, such as Irish Independent or The Irish Times show few if any diacritics.
- I should also add that I have never been "campaigning" against the use of diacritics and have no general opposition to English Wikipedia's use of diacritics in entries from languages, such as French, Polish or Turkish, that have diacritics as part of their alphabet. The entry which displays the English alphabet obviously does not include letters containing diacritics. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 01:33, 20 October 2024 (UTC)
- Wikipedia article titles are not necessarily exclusively in purely the English language or Latin alphabet. Why are you making this boilerplate vote and campaigning against article titles that don't even pretend to be in either?
- The quality of your argument, relying on two newspapers and a Wikipedia article, is poor. You use the "English alphabet" page, but no mention of what the articles Acute accent, Grave accent, or Diaeresis (diacritic) say. Example:
In English language texts it is perhaps most familiar in the loan words naïve, Noël and Chloë, and is also used officially in the name of the island Teän and of Coös County
. - So poor arguments, poor behavior, and I think still no adequate addressing of potentially discriminatory exclusionary behavior. seefooddiet (talk) 01:42, 20 October 2024 (UTC)
- As for why I insist on the use of the term "campaigning", I invite others to look at Roman Spinner's edit history, particularly all their recent posts on move requests. Look at any related to diacritics and tell me whether or not they're consistently biased in a certain direction.
- So yes, it is campaigning. seefooddiet (talk) 01:56, 20 October 2024 (UTC)
- No campaigning at all and no agenda. I rarely, if ever, edit articles related to Korea, transliteration, accents or diacritics and do not submit such topics to WP:RM. The only times I ever comment on these topics is when other editors submit them to RM.
- As for "Noël", "Chloë", etc, I had already written in a previous RM that, "Although English language has no accents or diacritics, it uses some words borrowed from languages that do use such marks, with "naïvety" or "naïveté" along with "fiancé" or "café" among the examples that have become part of English language. All such words are also acceptable if rendered in English without accents or diacritics."
- There is absolutely no bias or discrimination against any aspect of Ireland or, for that matter, any other language or culture and if two Irish newspapers are insufficient evidence, I invite anyone interested to glance at List of newspapers in the Republic of Ireland, all of which have websites and check if any English-language content in those newspapers uses accents or diacritics.
- Ultimately, since my objection solely concerns diacritics used in transliteration from non-Latin alphabets into English and since Ireland uses the Latin alphabet, the matter is not even germane to the discussion. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 03:28, 20 October 2024 (UTC)
The only times I ever comment on these topics is when other editors submit them to RM.
Yes, and you consistently vote in a certain direction. That constitutes a campaign/agenda to me; it's not as active as editing pages or making RMs, but you sure are persistent in pushing this boilerplate argument through. I don't even think you account for when WP:COMMONNAME contains the diacritic; you certainly actively ignore MOS:DIACRITICS.All such words are also acceptable if rendered in English without accents or diacritics.
This argument doesn't work for McCune–Reischauer in Korean. If you omit the diacritic it indicates a completely different sound. Sŏ -> 서 and So -> 소.Non-Latin alphabets into English
again, not all Wikipedia titles use the English language.- You never even bothered to try and discuss this with us at MOS:KO, even after I invited you to under more pleasant circumstances. You try to maintain a thin polite facade, but your actions speaks for themselves. Really not looking forward to your continued posting on this. We'll keep having the same discussions over and over again, ad nauseum, for years. Of course, this would have been completely avoidable if you just presented centralized discussions at the MOS-level. What a productive use of our time. seefooddiet (talk) 03:45, 20 October 2024 (UTC)
- For others reading, discussion somewhat continued here. Talk:Gyeongguk daejeon#Requested move 17 October 2024
- What I find insulting is the attempt to disingenuously use the "proven expertise" thing even after I called out what you were trying to do with it. Do not insult my intelligence; compliments from you mean little when you actively ignore me at your convenience. You even went out of your way to ignore my objectively good suggestion to make a formal proposal to modify either the MOS or the MOS:KO. Instead you continue to waste our time and try these poor arguments. Not one person I've seen so far has agreed with you.
- I also disagree with parts of the MOS and with the opinions of other editors. And when I do I try to do the right thing by proposing changes. I mean I literally was the main author of rewriting the entirety of the MOS:KO through this process. I could have adopted your tactic by making micro changes in violation of both the main MOS and the MOS:KO, but I didn't because I respected the time of others. You don't.
- So yes, if I'm not assuming good faith from you anymore it's because of your avoidable actions. Respect our time and actually respect my expertise (instead of paying the hollowest lip service to it) if you want good faith. seefooddiet (talk) 05:07, 20 October 2024 (UTC)
- Regarding "productive use of our time", I likewise regret that an obviously highly educated and productive editor, such as yourself, with expertise in history, linguistics, geography, etc, devoting time and energy towards expanding and improving Wikipedia's coverage of all these topics has to have the pleasure of accomplishing such work diminished by opposition regarding one or another aspect of that work from one or more other editors, but such is the nature of this collaborative project, especially if you accept that these editors may feel as strongly about their position as you do about yours and attempting to browbeat them into submission will not help in the advancement of your cause.
- I understand that transliterating from Korean into English with the help of diacritics to indicate pronunciation is not the same as transliterating from, for example, Ukrainian into English without the help of diacritics to indicate pronunciation, but my sole point continues to be that it is not helpful to use marks as an orthographic indicator in transliteration into a language that does not use marks.
- Other editors may or may not agree with me, but my single vote stands as my view on this matter. It will not affect the final outcome in a given RM, nor do I wish it to affect the final outcome, all other aspects being equal.
- Also, as you have already discovered, I also posted at Talk:Gyeongguk daejeon#Requested move 17 October 2024 about that specific nomination and may need to post there again if a response to that posting requires it. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 05:55, 20 October 2024 (UTC)
- Here's the thing: that's not even my position and I actively dislike it. I dislike diacritics and am on a campaign to discourage their use at WP:KO by advocating for switching to a system that doesn't use it.
- But this is what makes me not you: I'm taking the proper channels to make that change and having discussions in the right places. Isn't it ironic? We have the same goal, I just pursue it in a better way and actually get results when I do it.
- I'm annoyed at your behavior. There are better and worse ways to collaborate, I think you're doing it in worse ways. I disagree with other editors but have great relationships with them. You are an exception, and it is because of your avoidable behaviors. seefooddiet (talk) 06:10, 20 October 2024 (UTC)
obviously highly educated and productive editor, such as yourself, with expertise in history, linguistics, geography, etc
Also these backhanded compliments are not lost on me. Your behavior is truly awful. seefooddiet (talk) 06:12, 20 October 2024 (UTC)- Once again, please WP:Assume good faith since describing my sincere compliments as "backhanded" and adding "Your behavior is truly awful" is the antithesis of good faith as is the continued accusations of my having an "agenda" or engaging in "tendentious editing".
- If I truly had an agenda regarding this topic, I would at least submit to WP:RM some Korean main title headers containing diacritics or complain about unilateral moves of Korean headers without diacritics to those with diacritics, but I have done none of those.
- I certainly applaud your effort to convince others at WP:KO that transliterating Korean into English without the use of diacritics is the better way and if the matter were to be ready for a vote, I would add my support.
- However, it must be reiterated that my opposition to use of diacritics in transliterating non-Latin alphabets into English is a general one and not specifically focused upon Korean. Thus, I do not feel that I can usefully contribute to the discussion at WP:KO beyond stating such general opposition.
- Ultimately, since we are all unpaid volunteers, contributing our time and effort to the expansion of knowledge, experts such as yourself should be welcomed and appreciated. Over the years, I have seen a number of expert editors retire in frustration at the opposition to their work or even those who were driven away when they persisted.
- Thus, please accept my straightforward "Support" votes at Talk:Shin Suk-ju and Talk:Gyeongguk daejeon even if the latter vote was paired with a caveat regarding diacritics. Without investigating the matter further, I take it for granted that your proposed transliteration revisions represent the proper forms.
- In fact, taking into account that these types of RMs usually elicit low participation, it may even be best if, for the time being, I abstain from taking part in any future RMs involving use of diacritics in transliteration of Korean into English. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 17:06, 20 October 2024 (UTC)
- I'm going to hold you to your word: stop participating in these RMs for Korea topics. You are so unproductive and ineffective as to be distracting. And you'll get your way eventually; if you had done it right the first time you would have gotten it faster without all of this drama and wasted time. Please do not vote in the discussion btw; you already ignored my previous invitation to participate and you ignored our previous community consensus. It's clear you don't actually respect us, are just doing this because you dislike diacritics, and do not understand what ways are effective in actually bringing about change.seefooddiet (talk) 20:44, 20 October 2024 (UTC)

Archiving talk page
[edit]Hi @Roman Spinner. Another editor contacted me because you reversed my archiving on Talk:List of Johns Hopkins University defunct societies. I do a fair amount of archiving within WP:UNI and WP:FRAT. Generally, I get contacted by editors who are annoyed that I selectively archive, rather than adding auto archive. With regards to when and what to archive, it looks like I fall in the middle of those editors and you! I agree that one of the three items could/should remain, but there is no benefit to keeping stale bot-created posts. If you can find those old discussion, please share. However, the current version of WP:TALKCOND suggests archiving for room, when the issue is resolved, or when the post is stale. I think most editors would agree that an eight-year-old bot generated post that needs no action is stale. I also noticed that WP:TALKCOND defines premature archiving when "a thread...is still relevant to current work or was not concluded". So it is a bit confusing that you reverse the items I archived. I get your point about empty TalkPages, but I also think it can be confusing to new editors to see a bunch of stale posts that do not require action, especially when it is a long bot post. Often the items I archive are more than fifteen years old and relate to issues resolved at the time. Most are bot generated. I don't want this to become a thing. Can we at least agree that stale bot posts can be archived without discussion. Thanks. Rublamb (talk) 04:06, 27 January 2025 (UTC)

[edit]
Your recent editing history at Mathew Beard shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war; read about how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Let's talk turkey
[edit]Only counterexample I can think of is São Tomé and Príncipe, unless you count constituent countries like Curaçao. Doesn't really matter, just thought you raised an interesting general point. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 02:12, 11 May 2025 (UTC)
- The play on words in the section header is much appreciated. You raise a good point with the name of this small island nation which, I suspect, if/when it may receive any mention in English-language print media, would probably be indicated without the accents and diacritics per the main title header of its Britannica entry, although accents and diacritics are used within the body of the Britannica article.
- It should be also taken into account that, in the English-speaking world, this nation's name is Sao Tome and Principe, while its local name is São Tomé e Príncipe, thus the presence of the English-language "and" makes Sao Tome and Principe the English exonym for São Tomé e Príncipe.
- On the other hand, Curaçao, which has no UN presence or a diplomatic corps, is frequently visited by U.S. tourists and is usually referenced in the U.S. print media as simply "Curacao", but its Britannica entry does carry the main title header "Curaçao".
- These details will likely have little to no effect on the Turkey/Türkiye or Ivory Coast/Côte d'Ivoire discussions, but can be certainly brought up as an interesting sidelight. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 03:30, 11 May 2025 (UTC)

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.
