Would you mind requesting it to be renamed to a more aesthetically pleasing name? @Rhain: wants it renamed, but policies don't allow him. 2804:14D:5C32:4673:FA44:E018:E404:A9FA (talk) 04:38, 5 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20231205043800","author":"2804:14D:5C32:4673:FA44:E018:E404:A9FA","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-2804:14D:5C32:4673:FA44:E018:E404:A9FA-20231205043800-File:GTAVIlogo.png","replies":[]}}-->

Thanks for uploading File:GTAVIlogo.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion.

Hi @Crumpled Fire,

I just wanted to let you know that I plan to make a suggestion that the WP:ERA policy, if possible, be reworded (not changed, just reworded) to avoid the kind of unnecessarily WP:DISRUPTIVE debate you started with your intervention on the Aristotle page, its talk page, and the WikiProject Philosophy Board.

You appear to be using the policy as a cudgel to instigate exactly the sort of editorial conflict that it is intended to prevent. Moreover, you seem to have a history of this[1], which, further, you seem to employ only in one direction. Also, this exchange indicates that you have no qualms about going quite far back through an article's history to impose your preferred era abbreviations and create problems that did not exist.

At least on the Aristotle article, you refused to discuss – per the second bullet of the policy – "reasons specific to its content" for preferring one over the other. Instead, you insisted upon litigating against the policy you yourself introduced – with respect to its third bullet – according to which either convention is acceptable.

How, for instance, is any individual editor's relation to the etymology of "Thursday" relevant to this article at all, much less specifically? But somehow the usage conventions of recently published high-quality sources upon which the article relies apparently is not (because you just refuse to engage on any such context-specific terms)?

All this is a violation of WP:FORCEDINTERPRET.

Also, immediately threatening me with ANI in response to my initial response to your warning post was quite unnecessary and probably a violation of WP:CIVILITY.

I do not much care about which dating convention is used on the Aristotle article, but I do object very much to editors who go around starting disputes that do nothing but waste everyone's time and create an unnecessarily toxic atmosphere.

If the policy cannot be changed to prevent this from happening again in the future, I will probably check in at the Administrators' Noticeboard to see if the folks there agree that you, at least, deserve a sternly worded letter to cut it out.

This post is a courtesy so that you have an opportunity to offer some more sympathetic version of your activity.

Thanks, Patrick J.

The article Let There Be Peace on Earth (disambiguation) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

WP:ONEOTHER, secondary topic is already hat-noted in Let There Be Peace on Earth, no incoming links

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. – sgeureka ^t•c 07:29, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20240723072900","author":"Sgeureka","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Sgeureka-20240723072900-Proposed_deletion_of_Let_There_Be_Peace_on_Earth_(disambiguation)","replies":[]}}-->
