RfA title
editJakec, would you be opposed if I implemented the following actions:
- Moved Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Jakec to Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Jakec 2
- Made Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Jakec a redirect to Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/King jakob c 2
As discussed here, it doesn't make any difference for the participants but it does affect a few templates such as {{Recent RfX}} and {{Rfarow}} which is used to log RFA outcomes like at Wikipedia:Successful requests for adminship. Wanted to check in with you first before doing so. Thanks, Mkdwtalk 18:22, 26 March 2015 (UTC)
- @Mkdw: I don't have any strong objection, but haven't previous RFAs followed the pattern that's currently used? I thought about this before creating the nomination page and decided to go with the precedent. However, if the current name is causing any confusion, then I'm fine with the move. --Jakob (talk) aka Jakec 19:06, 26 March 2015 (UTC)

User:Nyttend/Pennsylvania
editThanks for removing the items. This isn't meant to be my personal list: it's meant to be a clearinghouse for everyone who's interested in helping with getting illustrations, and by removing these places, you saved me the effort. Nyttend (talk) 01:02, 30 March 2015 (UTC)
- @Nyttend: Thanks for the clarification. In that case, expect more removals in the coming months! By the way, perhaps List of municipalities in Pennsylvania could be a featured list at some point, perhaps once all the municipalities have pictures? --Jakob (talk) aka Jakec 01:43, 30 March 2015 (UTC)
- They'll be quite welcome. Would you mind updating the maps? The map accompanying each section is meant to show only the municipalities that appear in the list, so it helps if you update the map by changing a newly illustrated municipality from red to white; some have already gotten lots of modifications (for an extreme example, see File:Allegheny PA municipalities without photos.png), so don't think that modifying something will cause problems. Nyttend (talk) 02:29, 30 March 2015 (UTC)
- Okay, I'll update the maps as well next time. --Jakob (talk) aka Jakec 17:51, 30 March 2015 (UTC)
