Kia ora Innotata,

I noticed that you originally closed the requested move for One Tree Hill to be renamed Maungakiekie / One Tree Hill. I'd like to have this decision reviewed, as the new name with a slash is in keeping with the official gazetted place name in the NZGB Gazetteer and is also included on BGN as per one of the comments in the original discussion. As there is also precedent for this with pages such as Aoraki / Mount Cook or Whakaari/White Island, I think a renaming of the article to reflect the official name of Maungakiekie / One Tree Hill would be worthwhile. The guidelines for a move review suggest getting in touch with the person who originally closed the discussion, so that's why I've reached out to you. Apologies if this isn't the right location!

Cheers, Turnagra (talk) 01:44, 1 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Turnagra: I suggest simply starting a new move request! I think my close of the request was proper - it simply reflected that there had been consensus against the move from those who commented in the extended window for the move request, without any judgment as to the merits - and my understanding is that is what a move review would look at. Old move requests do not preclude a new request being made especially after a substantial amount of time, and especially with a different, potentially better case being made, or if the facts have changed. —innotata 12:55, 3 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Why did you remove my edit from Passer Predomesticus? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Firekong1 (talk • contribs) 17:52, 7 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Firekong1: I didn't remove it, I changed it to something that is actually verifiably true from the sources. I appreciate the need to be more clear about why the hispaniolensis photo is included, but Wikipedia articles can't contain original research, and here that isn't needed. And I gave the reason in the edit summary - please check these, and use edit summaries yourself. Thanks, —innotata 17:43, 9 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

UN has changed official name of Nepal. According to the UNTERM [1] Nepal has only short name since december 2020 ("Pursuant to the note verbale dated 16 November 2020 from the Permanent Mission of Nepal addressed to the United Nations and all permanent and observer missions, the country name was changed from "Federal Democratic Republic of Nepal" to "Nepal". Effective date: 14 December 2020 (date of communication from the Protocol and Liaison Service)"). Aotearoa (talk) 15:19, 18 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Aotearoa: I just assumed the Protocol and Liaison Service master document is kept current. If that's the case, the article shouldn't say "Nepal, officially Nepal", that sounds absurd, the meaning isn't immediately obvious, and this isn't done with other countries with only a short form name (example I gave was Canada), and the infobox should be modified as well as the lead sentence. And if you knew this you probably should have mentioned it when editing the article.

(Also would perhaps be useful for the coverage of the name of the country in the article body to note that the name "Federal Republic" had been in use, particularly as there isn't an article specifically on the name of Nepal.)

And in the future, maybe bring topics like this up in an article talk page? —innotata 21:17, 18 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I was wondering if I could add what I added about passer predomesticus back. There are several articles pertaining to animals here that reference animals resembling each other.

Evidence/Proof:

• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waimanu
• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pikaia

Passer Predomsesticus was simply a sparrow, so why wouldn't it resemble its relatives?

I apologize if this message sounds silly, I'm just curious about your response. I've been waiting to ask you for about a year, but I could not bring myself to do so until now. Firekong1 (talk) 00:27, 21 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Firekong1: Please read Wikipedia:No original research. I don't know/remember exactly what you want to change, but the answer is probably no, not on Wikipedia. Those articles either have sources specifically making those comparisons, or have sections that probably should be removed. —innotata 01:26, 21 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think so. Most of them don't have sources, but rather point out obvious similarities, so I don't see what the problem is. I'm not trying to vandalize or start an edit war, you have my word. I simply would like to know whether or not re-adding it would be allowed or forbidden according to an admin such as yourself. Firekong1 (talk) 13:59, 21 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Firekong1:

I'm not an admin. However, No original research is a policy, and I suggest you read it more closely. —innotata 00:37, 22 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I understand. That's what I was doing as well. I figured that it wouldn't be harmful because the sparrows are simply ancestor and descendant, so there wouldn't be much difference in appearance. Of course, what I did was not "no original research", but I understand what you're saying. Firekong1 (talk) 00:48, 22 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Greetings. This might be my last message here. I came to ask you for help with my mistakes so I may learn from them and grow as a wikipedia. You'll understand what I mean when you read what I posted below: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Passer_predomesticus

I apologize if it seems like spam. I simply just wish to learn how to better myself, but there's no one to help me. I would also like to apologize if my behavior seemed childish to you. I hope we can become well acquainted and coexist as fellow wikipedians. Firekong1 (talk) 12:00, 2 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
