Her best-known protagonist was male, but she wasn't. Really.

Incidentally, if you're wondering how I dared create such an under-referenced, opinionated article -- I didn't. So far I've done little more than tone it down from the state it was in before I first encountered it. Of course it remains pretty terrible. I hope I'll be able to improve it to some extent, but "RL" is making certain demands on me, demands that may hinder this enterprise. -- Hoary (talk) 21:33, 25 February 2025 (UTC)Reply

Sorry, The writing was rather confusing and it was hard to tell which pronoun was referring to which person. John Battersby Crompton Lamburn was definitely male, though. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 01:34, 26 February 2025 (UTC)Reply

No probs. (I've made bigger goofs in my time.) Lucky that I didn't glance at the article's history, notice that you'd arrived before I ever did, and accuse you of perpetrating this under-referenced, opinionated article. (Which of course you didn't, as will be obvious to anyone who does more than glance.) Though actually I derive a certain pleasure from reading articles that show an Olympian disregard for the norms of Wikipedia, at least when these articles are literate and amicable. This was an example, and I've felt a certain amount of regret while stripping it of some of its excrescences. -- Hoary (talk) 06:44, 26 February 2025 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of Chagurin

edit
Notice

The article Chagurin has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Lack of notability with scarce reliable sources documenting its significance.

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. Go D.

User rename

edit

You recently accepted the rename from Cesarecataniaart to Pressart1979. I think this name is still bad as it is still a role-account-type name (PR for artist). - UtherSRG (talk) 14:52, 5 September 2025 (UTC)Reply

@UtherSRG: Unless it "unambiguously represent the name of a company, organization, website, product, musical group or band, team, club, creative group, or organized event", or if it represents a website and can be shown its "primary purpose is to advertise, promote, sell, gain support, or increase the attention or user-base audience of any [specifically identifiable] person, company, market, product, channel, website, or other good or service" (clarification added), I wouldn't consider it promotional and is well within the username policy. You're welcome to try to force the account to change their name again if you wish. I don't see an issue with the name, though. "Pressart" does not equate to "PR" unless you can find a company named "Essart" and this editor is doing things for them. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 17:37, 5 September 2025 (UTC)Reply
In their paid disclosure, they say they are paid by PR office of the artist. (PR = Press Release.) Their name indicates the account is a role account. That's another unallowed naming reason. It's not promotional, but it's still not allowed. - UtherSRG (talk) 17:51, 5 September 2025 (UTC)Reply
@UtherSRG: Then block them and demand they change it. If you want them to change their username again, tell them to submit a change request again. Unless I have a request to process for a specific requested username, I can't and I won't change their username. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 18:31, 5 September 2025 (UTC)Reply
