Affiliations Committee (AffCom) Call for advisors - January 2022

Translations are available.

The Affiliations Committee – the committee responsible for guiding volunteers in establishing Wikimedia chapters, thematic organizations, and user groups – is looking for advisors!

The main role of the Affiliations Committee is to guide groups of volunteers that are interested in forming Wikimedia affiliates. We review applications from new groups, answer questions and provide advice about the different Wikimedia affiliation models and processes, review affiliate bylaws for compliance with requirements and best practices, and advise the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees on issues connected to chapters, thematic organizations and Wikimedia user groups.

We are looking for advisors who are excited by the challenge of empowering volunteers to get organized and form communities that further our mission around the world. In exchange, committee advisors selected will gain the experience of supporting their world-wide colleagues to develop their communities as well as personal development in guiding organizational development, facilitating affiliate partnerships, and professional communications.

AffCom advisors can engage with the committee in a variety of capacities:

Consultant

Individuals with extensive movement experience can be engaged as Consultants for specific cases or initiatives by AffCom.

Trainer

Individuals with specific expertise may be engaged for short-term projects for training AffCom or Affiliates. They might also lead the Capacity Building initiatives for AffCom or affiliates.

Observer

AffCom can request specific or all advisors to act as an observer in different cases to ensure neutrality & compliance with guidelines.

AffCom Support

Development of Policies: While advisors cannot create legally binding policies for the committee, they can help create policies that provide direction and support for the committee.

Planning and Implementing Community Relations: The advisors are long-term wikimedians & also include influential community leaders who can be effective at spreading the word about initiatives and services.

Supporting Subcommittees: The advisors can support subcommittees that have assigned tasks in specific areas.

Other Tasks: Advisors can be engaged to address a specific need. Such engagements are usually short-lived and are disbanded as soon as their specific goals are met.

Key skills

We look for a healthy mix of different skill sets in our advisors, including the following key skills and experience:

1. Strong understanding of the structure and work of Wikimedia affiliates and the Wikimedia Foundation.
2. Readiness to participate in political discussions on the role and future of affiliates, models of affiliation, and similar topics.
3. Availability of up to 2 hours per week, and the time to participate in a monthly two-hour voice/video meeting
4. International orientation and ability to work and communicate with other languages and cultures.
5. Knowledge of different legal systems and experience in community building and organizing are a plus.
6. Fluency in English is required; skills in other languages are a major plus.
7. Experience with or in an active Wikimedia affiliate is a major plus.
8. Strong track record of effective collaboration (such as evidenced skills at facilitation, mediation, negotiation, and so forth) is a major plus.
9. Willingness to use one's real name in committee activities (including contacts with current and potential affiliates) when appropriate.

Selection process

As a reflection of our commitment to openness, transparency, and bilateral engagement with the Wikimedia community, the 2022 advisors selection process will include a public review and comment period. All applications must be posted on Meta between January 01 and January 31, 2022 at the nomination page, and the community will be invited to provide comments and feedback about each candidate. At the end of the nomination period, the applications will be voted on by the members of the committee, taking into account comments put forward by the committee's members, advisors, Wikimedia Foundation staff and board liaisons, and the community. A final decision will be made in February 2022, with new advisors expected to begin later that month.

How to apply

If you are interested in advising the committee, please submit your candidacy on the nomination page between January 01 to January 31, 2022. Your application must include the following information:

1. Your full name and Wikimedia username
2. A statement describing your relevant experience, skills, and motivation for joining the committee as an advisor.
3. The advisor role you would like to serve
4. Answers to the following three questions:
   1. How do you think affiliates work best together to partner on effective projects and initiatives?
   2. What do you see as the role of affiliates in the Wikimedia movement in the next three years?
   3. What do you feel you will bring as an advisor to the committee that makes you a uniquely qualified candidate?

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact the committee. We are happy to chat or have a phone call with anyone about our work if this helps them decide to apply. Please distribute this call among your networks, and do apply if you are interested!

Affiliations Committee (AffCom) Call for candidates - January 2022

Translations are available.

The Affiliations Committee – the committee responsible for guiding volunteers in establishing Wikimedia chapters, thematic organizations, and user groups – is looking for new members!

The main role of the AffCom is to guide groups of volunteers that are interested in forming Wikimedia affiliates. We review applications from new groups, answer questions and provide advice about the different Wikimedia affiliation models and processes, review affiliate bylaws for compliance with requirements and best practices, and update the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees as well as advise them on issues connected to chapters, thematic organizations and Wikimedia user groups.

The committee consists of five to fifteen members, selected at least once every year, to serve two-year terms.

Being a part of the AffCom requires communication with volunteers all over the world, negotiating skills, cultural sensitivity, and the ability to understand legal texts. We look for a mix of different skill sets in our members.

Responsibilities

• Availability of up to 5-8 hours per month

• Participate in monthly one and two-hour voice/video meetings

• Commitment to carry out assigned tasks in a given time.

• Facilitate and support communications

• Affiliate Support and growth

Required and Recommended Abilities, Skills, Knowledge for Affiliations Committee Members

Strong interpersonal relationship among members of the committee and also with the Wikimedia community members. Across all committee members, there are additional relevant skills as well as requirements which help to support the committee and its sustainability which include both required and relevant general skills

Required

• Fluency in English
• Availability of up to 5 hours per week, and the time to participate in a monthly one and two-hour voice/video meetings.
• Willingness to use one's real name in committee activities (including contacts with current and potential affiliates) when appropriate.
• Strong track record of effective collaboration
• International orientation

Relevant for all members

• Public Communications (English writing and speaking skills)
• Skills in other languages are a major plus.
• Understanding of the structure and work of affiliates and the Wikimedia Foundation.
• Documentation practices
• Interviewing experience
• Experience with, or in, an active affiliate is a major plus.
• Teamwork: Project and people management skills to coordinate and collaborate with different parties on a shared plan and see it through to completion.
• Problem-Solving: Ability to evaluate various solutions, consider multiple interests and points of view, revisit unresolved issues, seek compromise and work and communicate across languages and cultures.

Given the expectations for maintaining the course in 2022 and preparing for potential 2022 transitions as part of the Movement Strategy implementation process, it is important that we are also clear about two different skill sets critical to committee support at this time. The first skillset is oriented to understanding affiliate dynamics and organizational development patterns to successfully process affiliate applications for recognition; the other is oriented to conflict prevention and intervention support for affiliates in conflict.

Relevant to Affiliate Recognitions

• Administration & Attention to detail
• Readiness to participate in political discussions on the role and future of affiliates, models of affiliation, and similar topics.
• Awareness of the affiliates ecosystem and models and understanding of community building, organizational development, and group dynamics

Relevant to Conflict Prevention & Intervention

• Communication skills for active listening, clear instruction and turn-taking.
• Stress Management skills for maintaining patience and positivity
• Emotional intelligence to maintain awareness of emotions of oneself and others to practice empathy, impartiality, and mutual respect.
• Facilitation, negotiation, and mediation skills to guide diverse individuals and groups toward cooperation.
• Ability to work within a team

Do you have relevant skills and interest to support movement affiliates?

We are looking for people who are excited by the challenge of empowering volunteers to get organized and form communities that further our mission around the world. In exchange, committee members will gain the experience of supporting their world-wide colleagues to develop their communities as well as personal development in guiding organizational development, facilitating affiliate partnerships, and professional communications.

Selection process

As a reflection of our commitment to openness, transparency, and bilateral engagement with the Wikimedia community, the 2022 member selection process will include a public review and comment period and a self-assessment survey for candidates to share their skills and their experience. This self-assessment information will help the committee to identify the skill sets relevant and supportive to our affiliate support processes. We invite you to apply for membership to the committee and join us in supporting the affiliates. The data shared in the self-assessment will only be made available to the committee and the relevant staff support. The nomination, candidate Q&A, and endorsements will still take place posted on Meta for public review at January 2022 page. Here the global community is welcome to provide comments and feedback about each candidate.

Once the nomination window closes 31 January 2022, the sitting members who are not candidates for re-election in this cycle will deliberate and then vote, taking into account all inputs from the meta page, self-assessment, advisors, Wikimedia Foundation staff and board liaisons, and committee member discussion.

A final decision will be made in late-February 2022, with new members to be notified for onboarding in February.

How to apply

If you are interested in joining the committee, please:

Step 1. Post your application on the nomination page by 31 January 2022. Your application must include the following information:

1. Your full name and Wikimedia username
2. A statement describing your relevant education, experience, abilities, skills, knowledge, availability, and motivation for joining the committee.

Step 2. Complete the self-assessment survey between January 1, 2021 and January 31, 2021.

• Question 4 & 5 should be answered by those interested in joining the Recognitions subcommittee.

2. AffCom members need to manage time, confidentiality, conflicts of interest, and diverse situations across the global movement. How do you envision managing these?
3. Members of AffCom serve on one of two subcommittees: Recognitions OR Conflicts Intervention. Which one of these are you most interested in serving on?
4. If you are interested in serving on the Recognitions subcommittee, what do you think makes a group of Wikimedians ready to function together as an affiliate?

Recent changes on Paul Nicholas Mason

ZI Jony, greetings.

You recently made some changes to the page Paul Nicholas Mason. I think you did something to a link to a video commercial for the Harry Potter & the Cursed Child production in Toronto.

The change appears to have made the commercial inaccessible. (Or, perhaps, something happened to the original commercial?)

I apologize if I have misdirected this. I am not very adept at diagnosing problems -- and my glasses are broken!

Romani people

Hello @ZI Jony, please can you have a look on this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romani_people#Turkish_and_Tatar_Y-DNA_genes_of_the_Muslim_Roma699

the source behind them, says nothing about turkish or tatar Y-DNA, the source says also nothing that muslim romani woman got children from turks or tatars etc., the source is about Genetic impact of the Ottoman occupiers on the Balkan-Roma population and central eastern population, but not especially in muslim roma.

That's why I wanted to fix it but I can't. I'am blocked from editing the Article. But If you read the source, you can understand what I mean. Thanky

Hello there, please don't make edits like these that don't actually affect the page. As you can see here error 64 is a purely cosmetic change. You also appear to be running WPCleaner in bot mode, but you are not a bot. Please remember WP:COSMETICBOT. Thank you. --Ferien (talk) 22:04, 14 January 2022 (UTC)

I'm not sure how you are generating your page lists, but indiscriminately running genfixes on arbitrary pages would hardly be useful in most cases. ~~~~
User:1234qwer1234qwer4 (talk) 15:16, 22 January 2022 (UTC)

1234qwer1234qwer4, I usually generate pages in three way, random pages, new pages, and WP:CWERRORS. However, I've to be more professional. Warm Regards, ZI Jony ^(Talk) 07:21, 23 January 2022 (UTC)

Typically it's best to make these error 64 fixes with another edit, like 3 or 61 for example. In WPCleaner you can tick two boxes so you could tick 61 and 64. And then you can just skip the ones where it's only 64 and there's no other non-cosmetic error. There is not much harm done if this error isn't fixed, there's no damage to the page and it doesn't affect the reader, so we don't have to worry about it :) --Ferien (talk) 22:08, 24 January 2022 (UTC)

Help with Gulf States Toyota Distributors article

Hi ZI Jony,

I hope you are doing well. Previously you had helped review and update suggestions on the Gulf States Toyota Distributors wiki page.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gulf_States_Toyota_Distributors

I would love your help to clean this page to focus on Gulf States Toyota instead of Freidkin Group. The article is currently confusing because the current version focuses on Friedkin Group and is irrelevant. Can you please review my suggestions to update the page with the goal of making it focus more on Gulf States Toyota, the intended topic of the page?

I have added additional suggested edits to the Gulf States Toyota Distributors Talk page and would kindly request your help in reviewing those recommended updates. Thank you for your time and consideration! --SSuggests (talk) 21:19, 11 February 2022 (UTC)

WP:AFC Helper News

Hello! I wanted to drop a quick note for all of our AFC participants; nothing huge and fancy like a newsletter, but a few points of interest.

• AFCH will now show live previews of the comment to be left on a decline.
• The template {{db-afc-move}} has been created - this template is similar to {{db-move}} when there is a redirect in the way of an acceptance, but specifically tells the patrolling admin to let you (the draft reviewer) take care of the actual move.

Short and sweet, but there's always more to discuss at WT:AFC. Stop on by, maybe review a draft on the way? Whether you're one of our top reviewers, or haven't reviewed in a while, I want to thank you for helping out in the past and in the future.

Reference after full stop

I saw you were editing here because "ref should be after full stop". I don't get the rationale behind it. A full stop means the end of that sentence. Postponing the <ref> after that means it refers to the subsequent not to the previous sentence, by logic. It could have some reason to stay only at the end of period, not in the middle of it. Does this edit you made share consensus and where??--82.57.40.105 (talk) 13:16, 15 March 2022 (UTC)

The punctuation should stand before the references. See WP:REFPUNC. Warm Regards, ZI Jony ^(Talk) 00:28, 16 March 2022 (UTC)

Scripted fixes

Hello. WP:Cleaner clearly isn't working correctly at Boletus: your CW fix attempt there has had to be reverted a third time now, as it made an unreadable mess out of the phylogenetic tree: [1]. Could you please preview the changes before publishing, if you're going to use Cleaner on it a fourth time? You might also find the discussions at Wikipedia talk:WPCleaner#Problems caused by the automatic CW fixes and User talk:Tassedethe/Archive 10#Transclusion & excerpts useful for configuration. Thanks.Storchy (talk) 13:14, 26 March 2022 (UTC)

WPCleaner Bot mode?

Hello, I've noticed you are running WPCleaner in bot mode (through your edit summaries saying v2.04b). Why is this? You aren't a bot so I don't think you should be using it in bot mode. --Ferien (talk) 18:04, 26 March 2022 (UTC)

March 2022

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on 2021 Atlanta spa shootings. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Love of Corey (talk) 03:13, 27 March 2022 (UTC)

Breaks in infoboxes

ZI Jony: I realized recently you removed the breaks in the infoboxes in Assassination of Martin Luther King Jr., Assassination of Mahatma Gandhi, and Assassination of Malcom X, and I’m sure you’ve done it on other pages as well. Without this break, the title will show up randomly in the infobox. Please refrain from doing this. Thanks. TheXuitts (talk) 05:10, 29 March 2022 (UTC)

Here is a barnstar to show appreciation for the NPP reviews you did back in 2020. We realize this is late, but NPP fell behind in some coordination activities. We are just getting caught up. If you don't want to receive "old" barnstars, please just ignore this and reply (with a ping) to let us know not to send you any more. Also, we notice you haven't been very active here recently, and hope you will consider increasing your participation. The backlog is relatively high and we could really use your help. Regardless, thanks again for your past effort. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 02:55, 25 August 2022 (UTC)

Request to create a new copyright tag for government works

A lots of governments (can be central, provincial or local) let others to redistribute, share and adapt their works which are there in their official governmental websites without any specific permission. They have certain conditions like-

• Need of proper attribution to the source,
• adaptive use only if it is used in respected and non-objectionable manner.

I want to request you to create a new copyright tag template so those files from these government websites can be uploaded. We can't use the creative commons license because they have not mentioned it, also they states that all rights to the contents are copyrighted by them. So to use the files, we must need a new copyright tag. Examples - Government of Bangladesh , Government of West Bengal — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ku423winz1 (talk • contribs) 13:31, 5 November 2022 (UTC)

Ku423winz1, could you please provide link of the file that you would like to upload here? Warm Regards, ZI Jony ^(Talk) 17:01, 5 November 2022 (UTC)

ZI Jony, I have many images to upload, like the pictures in this link, which are owned by Government of West Bengal, but can be used as mentioned in its copyright policy. Ku423winz1 (talk) 18:00, 5 November 2022 (UTC)

Ku423winz1, you couldn’t upload files unnecessary here! If you would like to uploads locally to Wikipedia, must comply with the non-free content criteria. Warm Regards, ZI Jony ^(Talk) 05:25, 6 November 2022 (UTC)

ZI Jony, I can upload the photos because the government lets me to. Please see, the copyright policy link given in my previous reply, it clearly says others can redistribute it without any formal permission, and can also be adapted in respectful manner. For more information, works done by Government of India is under copyright tag - Template:GODL-India, there is also a copyright tag for US and UK governmental works. So it is not a new thing to upload Governmental works in Wikipedia. Hence I request you to create a general copyright tag for Governmental works so that the works of governments which allow others to use the contents in their websites could be used in Wikipedia.

Noticing that only five of the qualifying editors have received the digital barnstars, but an additional 13 editors submitted four or more accepted articles. @Egeymi created seven! Some of us are new editors and so for us a barnstar is pretty special, if indeed we actually earned it. Or am I mistaken about what the rules were? BBQboffin (talk) 19:04, 1 January 2023 (UTC)

Hi Zi I will get back to you as I learn more about the process. I myself am a retired Dean of Science and Mathematics at U Houston and a former Professor of Chemistry and Planetary Sciences at U Arizona. I look forward to helping make Wikipedia stronger and better respected. I have found it useful for years to get started on a subject and understand its limitations (I think).

Question from Msmithtucson (05:53, 1 January 2024)

Will I be sent articles to edit? This is what I am used to with scientific journals. Is there a hierarchical editor structure (of which I , of course, am at the bottom)? I am sitting here wondering what the next step is. The help topics don't seem clear on what next steps a new editor should take beyond learning the text editors. Many thanks --Msmithtucson (talk) 05:53, 1 January 2024 (UTC)

Msmithtucson, Welcome to Wikipedia, I believe your contribution will make Wikipedia better. You will not be assigned articles to edits; you are free to edit as you wish based on guidelines.

Hi

Hi @ZI Jony

Thank you for being my mentor.

I'm assembling a group to learn together editing and creating new content in Wikipedia and Wikipedia.

We're going to start slow, but might get stuck from time to time, especially when it comes to finding and working with the right templates.

I hope your time allows.

Thanks Samisawtak (talk) 16:12, 10 December 2023 (UTC)

Hi Samisawtak, feel free to ask me for help anytime. Warm Regards, ZI Jony ^(Talk) 01:21, 11 December 2023 (UTC)

Thank you so much Samisawtak (talk) 08:29, 11 December 2023 (UTC)

Hi @ZI Jony We are a group working to collect information and draft content for new articles or to edit existing ones.

We need a working space where to keep information, share amongst us and work on it until it takes shape and becomes more ready to draft it into an article. Basically a shared kitchen if you know what I mean (e.g. Asana).

Is there any feature in Wikipedia that we can use as a collaboration space. I don't like Google Docs and such like. I prefer to bring the team into Wikipedia space and become more comfortable working here.

Thanks Samisawtak (talk) 10:15, 13 December 2023 (UTC)

Hi Samisawtak, you could use your sandbox. For more information, please see Wikipedia:Sandbox. Warm Regards, ZI Jony ^(Talk) 13:39, 13 December 2023 (UTC)

I use [[sandbox]] when I'm working on my own, but I'm looking for a space where my colleagues could log in and also edit text before the article is even published.

Thanks Samisawtak (talk) 18:21, 13 December 2023 (UTC)

Samisawtak, your sandbox could be edit by any user. You also could submit your articles through Articles for creation (AfC) process, start a draft page, complete the article, then submit for review. Let's clear some things, list of users in the group? Subject/list of articles that you guys are working? Is there any conflict of interest in your edits? Warm Regards, ZI Jony ^(Talk) 08:09, 14 December 2023 (UTC)

Hi ZI Jony

I hope you had a good xmas and best wished for the new year.

I'm progressing with my articles but I was not able to work on two separated articles in Sandbox at the same time.

Is there something I should use to denote end of the first article and start of a new one below it?

Thanks Samisawtak (talk) 12:39, 31 December 2023 (UTC)

please use like sandbox/1, sandbox/2, sandbox/3 for separate articles. Warm Regards, ZI Jony ^(Talk) 12:28, 3 January 2024 (UTC)

Hi @ZI Jony

Thanks for your continuous support. and best wishes for the New Year.

I followed your advise and just drafted an article User:Samisawtak/sandbox2

Not sure if making reference to Amazon and GoodReads in the table is acceptable.

I'm ready to publish (or submit for publishing).

Anything catches your eye that needs attention?

Estelmo

Hello.

I have written repeatedly in edit summaries AND the Estelmo talk page as to why it is JalenFolf's edits and not mine that are not constructive.

To recapitulate:

Years ago there was an article about Estelmo (an extremely minor character who was created to provide an explanation for why the events chronicled in the "The Disaster of the Gladden Fields" could be remembered afterward).

This article was then put through AfD and deleted with a merge to a then-extant "Gladden Fields" article.

The "Gladden Fields" article was then itself deleted and merged with the Isildur article's account of his death at the Gladden Fields (the only section of text in which there was a mention of Estelmo) but for some reason the "Estelmo" article's redirect to "Gladden Fields" was turned into a redirect to the "Isildur" section of the Aragorn article which does not mention Estelmo in any way (I can only assume that because Aragorn was known in his youth as "Estel" someone got confused.

The only place I am aware of that attempted to link to an article about Estelmo is the Gladden Fields section of the Isildur article.

I tried creating a real stub about Estelmo with exact references to where he is mentioned in Unfinished Tales but with JalenFolf implacably determined to reinstate the absolutely useless redirect to an utterly irrelevant section of the Aragorn article I thought it was best to just remove the link in the Isildur article where the sole coverage of Estelmo's brief appearance exists (a reference citing only the chapter is used there).

Whether or not Estelmo gets a real article is basically immaterial but it is in NO way constructive to allow a redirect to something that tells nothing at all about the subject OR a redirect that goes right back to where the only link existed.

No matter who puts that redirect to Aragorn#Isildur back how many times the constructive thing to do is to remove it. 71.105.190.227 (talk) 08:28, 6 January 2024 (UTC)

I've left a note on the IP's talk page. Briefly, I've updated the redirect to Isildur#Death where it is already cited. Chiswick Chap (talk) 09:39, 6 January 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for your action and response. Warm Regards, ZI Jony ^(Talk) 12:13, 6 January 2024 (UTC)

Second review of The Village?

Hi, I got a notification that the article I made 7 months ago was reviewed. I'm confused because the article was already reviewed shortly after I wrote it. So why did it need a second review? TheTankman (talk) 15:40, 10 January 2024 (UTC)

TheTankman, per logs of that page, I reviewed that page. IMO, earlier you received notification that was "BoyTheKingCanDance added tags to the page using Page Curation" Warm Regards, ZI Jony ^(Talk) 16:43, 10 January 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Claymore#Requested move 28 December 2023

Hi. Looks like a clear consensus not to move to me! -- Necrothesp (talk) 09:50, 12 January 2024 (UTC)

Hi, Necrothesp, are you asking to put full remarks? If so, will do it now onwards. Warm Regards, ZI Jony ^(Talk) 10:14, 12 January 2024 (UTC)

No, I'm saying it was a consensus not to move, not a no consensus result. -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:16, 12 January 2024 (UTC)

Thanks, updated. Warm Regards, ZI Jony ^(Talk) 10:19, 12 January 2024 (UTC)

TNA Wrestling move

I think you need to revisit it. It's clear the consensus is to spell out "Total Nonstop Action". oknazevad (talk) 18:28, 15 January 2024 (UTC)

Per WP:AT and WP:NAMECHANGES. I believe the proposed name is the best fit, the article title needs to be the commonly used name. Warm Regards, ZI Jony ^(Talk)

See MOS:ACROTITLE. That guideline is why the NFL article is at National Football League despite the abbreviated form being much more commonly used. The consensus was clearly to be consistent with that guideline. oknazevad (talk) 19:31, 15 January 2024 (UTC)

As I just got done replying to this same message on another editor's talk page by oknazevad:

To help clear things up, being one of the many editors involved in the requested move from "Impact Wrestling" to the company's current branding, which is indeed "Total Nonstop Action Wrestling"...

As I'm sure oknazevad could point out here, despite the editor who launched the RM (Vjmlhds) initially requesting the article be moved from "Impact Wrestling" to "TNA Wrestling", like the vote cast by myself, the overwhelming majority of Support votes in the RM for changing the article's name were indeed for the FULL name, NOT the shortened form. While news article references may use "TNA" or "TNA Wrestling", from what I'm aware of, the policy for titling Wikipedia articles is, when possible, the company/brand's full name is used.

And, to address ZI Jony's position, I direct attention to another Wikipedia policy, one that I've actually used only once so far on here: WP:IGNORE. ClarkKentWannabe (talk) 03:03, 16 January 2024 (UTC)

In my opinion, the discussion should run longer rather than being closed now. Just because the show has been retitled and being televised as such does not mean it should be moved. Right now there is a dispute between TNA and the longer name. Per WP:NAMECHANGE, what do the news reports so far have been referring the show as? I did not see this point being raised in the discussion. All I saw are variations of WP:ILIKEIT. – robertsky (talk) 06:56, 16 January 2024 (UTC)

Sorry for the late response. I don't understand why you're insisting on the full name in title. However, I believe the discussion had already over and closed, also page moved by Amakuru. I'd suggest you to start a formal WP:RM discussion on the article's talk page if you disagree with current move. Warm Regards, ZI Jony ^(Talk) 12:29, 16 January 2024 (UTC)

WP:MRV is the next step, not another RM. – robertsky (talk) 12:56, 16 January 2024 (UTC)

WP:MRNOT saying that this is not a forum to re-argue a closed discussion, and start a formal WP:RM discussion Warm Regards, ZI Jony ^(Talk) 13:02, 16 January 2024 (UTC)

Of course I know what's MRV is for. 😼 After all, I had been through it a few times myself. I won't be the one raking coals over the close though. – robertsky (talk) 13:30, 16 January 2024 (UTC)

(edit conflict) (was still updating my reply.) You are missing the point I was trying to make above: Had the discussion run to the next 7-day mark, which was due in 4 days before you closed the discussion, the NAMECHANGE argument would have presented itself in the discussion, not at RM/TR where Amakuru challenged your initial close, and you agreeing to his point there, and changing your close accordingly next. I hazard a guess that some participants of the discussion on the talk page may have been caught off-guard by the change in the target title because the discussion at RM/TR isn't apparent to them. – robertsky (talk) 13:23, 16 January 2024 (UTC)

Are you pointing to re-open the RM? Warm Regards, ZI Jony ^(Talk) 13:44, 16 January 2024 (UTC)

It is your call. Personally, I agree with Amakuru's assessment. – robertsky (talk) 14:05, 16 January 2024 (UTC)

I'd prefer a fresh discussion. Warm Regards, ZI Jony ^(Talk) 15:02, 16 January 2024 (UTC)

Move review for TNA Wrestling

An editor has asked for a Move review of TNA Wrestling. Because you closed the move discussion for this page, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the move review.

Hey, this is just a pro forma templating, as I need to do it. For what it's worth, I don't think people are trying to re-argue the move in the above section; they're saying your close was deficient in some way (and I agree with them). In those cases, MRV is the preferred venue, not another RM. Sceptre (talk) 04:53, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
