Disambiguation link notification for March 22
[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Climate change in Denmark, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Liberal Alliance. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

A tag has been placed on Category:Newfoundland and Labrador Legislature indicating that it is currently empty, and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion. If it remains empty for seven days or more, it may be deleted under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and removing the speedy deletion tag. Liz Read! Talk! 18:52, 25 March 2025 (UTC)

Nomination of Climate change in North Rhine-Westphalia for deletion
[edit]
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Climate change in North Rhine-Westphalia until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article until the discussion has finished.Orange sticker (talk) 19:25, 12 April 2025 (UTC)

[edit] Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did at Warwick (Electoral Changes) Order 2014, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use your sandbox for that. Thank you. Janan2025 (talk) 08:23, 18 April 2025 (UTC)
- Sorry. Would "not notable topic" be an acceptable edit summary? Landpin (talk) 08:24, 18 April 2025 (UTC)
- Hi Landpin, hope you're well. Your bold redirects of several articles of secondary legislation are fair enough, but some of them should be merges. Merges have to follow a certain amount of process to ensure they abide by copyright rules on attribution. Your merges of this Warwick order haven't done that (and have left out almost all the articles content), so I'm going to revert them. If you'd like to have a merge discussion (which I would suggest, since your redirects have been reverted a few times now by myself and another editor), you can find the process here. I would ask that you don't boldly redirect this page in the meantime, since I feel we're a bit close to an edit war for my liking. Thanks! Gazamp (talk) 13:34, 18 April 2025 (UTC)
- The problem is that I can't find secondary sources for these topics to justify writing them down on the target page with my username being attached to the edit. If I could I would just add the citation to the original page. Landpin (talk) 14:02, 18 April 2025 (UTC)
- If I use an AfD, then I feel like other people would tell me to be bold as in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2019 Milton by-election.
- And I don't want to add a lot of content to another article that just copies and pastes the text of a regulation with my username. Landpin (talk) 14:06, 18 April 2025 (UTC)
- Hi Landpin, thanks for your replies. I'm not entirely against merging, but I think it'll be a much better outcome if we take a little bit of time to discuss how a merge would work - there's no rush to do this right now. That way, if we do merge, we can use as much of the content as possible while not overwhelming the target page. The more relevant information we can keep for readers, the better!
- Also, might be worth mentioning that not all references need to be secondary sources, its just that secondary sources are used to show notability - on a page which already passes notability thresholds, like the 2015 Warwick Council election, reputable primary sources are often used to verify non-controversial information (the rules on this are at WP:PRIMARY). A Local Government Boundary Commission for England publication, for example, is a primary source but can be used to evidence decisions/findings of the commission or information about local government boundaries in England.
- I'm a bit busy over the next few days, but it might be worth starting a merge discussion at the article talk page so we can decide how to go forward on this. Gazamp (talk) 14:43, 18 April 2025 (UTC)
- Okay. I'll do that. Landpin (talk) 14:54, 18 April 2025 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act (British Columbia)
[edit]Hello Landpin,
I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act (British Columbia) for deletion, because it's a redirect from an article title to a namespace that's not for articles.
If you don't want Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act (British Columbia) to be deleted, you can contest this deletion, but don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.
You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks!

[edit] Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, articles should not be moved, as you did to The Third Man, without good reason. They should have a name that is both accurate and intuitive. Wikipedia has some guidelines in place to help with this. Generally, a page should only be moved to a new title if the current name doesn't follow these guidelines. Also, if a page move is being discussed, consensus needs to be reached before anybody moves the page. If you would like to experiment with page titles and moving, please use the test Wikipedia. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Fortuna, Imperatrix Mundi 16:37, 3 May 2025 (UTC)
Before adding a category to an article, as you did to Category:Brenda Hale, Baroness Hale of Richmond, please make sure that the subject of the article really belongs in the category that you specified according to Wikipedia's categorization guidelines. The category being added must already exist, and must be supported by the article's verifiable content. Categories may be removed if they are deemed incorrect for the subject matter. Thank you.

An interesting article on an important but rarely discussed topic; clear. I do wonder whether the inclusion of this as a part of a series on Algocracy detracts from its neutral point of view, but the text reads in a balanced way.

[edit]Hey Landpin. I appreciate your additions to 2018 Canada Post strikes. I think the infobox is helpful; in fact, the article could be expanded to include more information about the law since it's a pretty important part of the story. It does look like the info isn't covered by any of the existing sources, though. Could you add the source you used for your edits? Viv Desjardin (talk, contrib) 00:54, 17 May 2025 (UTC)

About AfD
[edit]Please do not WP:HARASS other editors, and waste community time, by repeatedly starting AfDs just to propose that pages be redirected. If you want to redirect a page, and nobody objects, just go ahead and perform a WP:BLAR. Do not start a full AfD. AfD is articles for deletion, not articles for redirection.
Further, if you are going to question the notability of a recent Act of Parliament, you need to actually look for coverage in the relevant editions of Current Law Statutes Annotated and (for English Acts at least) Halsbury's Statutes. The most recent volumes of these books are generally not freely searchable on the internet.
Further, would you please conduct a search of the Internet Archive before falsely claiming that an Act of Parliament has no secondary coverage like this very extensive secondary coverage: [1]. Thank you. James500 (talk) 03:13, 19 May 2025 (UTC)

French translations
[edit]I have removed several of the French translations you have added to articles about public sector enterprises in Ontario. While Ontario may be bilingual, you are editing on English Wikipedia, which follows its own rules, particularly MOS:FIRST, MOS:LEADLANG, and MOS:FORLANG. Unless the article significantly discusses French people, then there is no need to add translations to the French language. I would strongly recommend discussing this and gaining a consensus, rather than reverting. Thanks for your understanding. Magnolia677 (talk) 10:37, 20 May 2025 (UTC)

[edit]Hi Landpin. Thank you for your work on Climate change in the Faroe Islands. Another editor, Klbrain, has reviewed it as part of new pages patrol and left the following comment:
Thanks for creating this article on climate change in the Faroe Islands, which is consistent with others in the series of Climate change in Europe. I wondered whether a merge to Climate change in Denmark might be warranted, but there may be interest in this topic within the islands themselves. There is very little on climate in this article, with most of the page being on 'greenhouse gas' and 'mitigation'. It would be more balanced and consistent with other in the series to discuss climate in more detail.

Mass deletion campaign
[edit]You seem to be nominating articles about statutory instruments for deletion at a rapid pace. At the moment, this looks purely destructive to me. These will clearly pass WP:GNG, as they are part of the official government record of the United Kingdom, and most of them already have multiple citations from other sources.
Your nomination of Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006 is a case in point.
Can I ask how this is intended to help the encyclopedia? — The Anome (talk) 13:55, 30 July 2025 (UTC)
- Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999 resulted in a merge.
- Waste Management Licensing Regulations 1994 resulted in a merge.
- The suggestion that I am doing this for "destructive" reasons is lacking, otherwise those would not have happeened.
- I am doing these things because I think they justify a deletion, or maybe a merge. Landpin (talk) 14:09, 30 July 2025 (UTC)
- While *you* may see these things as frivolous, already one person has suggested a merge (seeWikipedia:Articles for deletion/Personal Protective Equipment at Work Regulations 1992).
- I think reasonable people can disagree but it is wrong to call these actions "frivolous" or "purely destructive".
- @The Anome Landpin (talk) 14:30, 30 July 2025 (UTC)
- Have you tried improving the articles by looking for more or better citations, rather than just nominating them with a nomination that consists of "not notable"? If you want to nominate them for a merge, I suggest you do exactly that, rather than abusing the AfD process, which is not intended for that purpose. — The Anome (talk) 14:41, 30 July 2025 (UTC)
- I think they should be deleted.
- It is possible that other people think they should be merged.
- I am not abusing anything. Landpin (talk) 14:45, 30 July 2025 (UTC)
- I have looked for better citations. I only nominated pages where I couldn't find better citations.
- I would appreciate it if you stopped making personal attacks. Landpin (talk) 14:48, 30 July 2025 (UTC)

I entirely agree with James500 and The Anome. Your rapid-fire nomination of Statutory Instruments articles is disruptive. You are putting no effort whatsoever into analysing these articles, other than typing out "not notable", and your above statement that "I have looked for better citations" is quite evidently false. As I pointed out in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Health Protection (Coronavirus, Wearing of Face Coverings on Public Transport) (England) Regulations 2020, you made no effort to comply with WP:BEFORE. I was able to find large numbers of reliable third party sources by the simple expedient of typing the entire title of the article into Google, and I listed for you there nine relevant sources that I found within five minutes. There are many more.
WP:BEFORE is a mandatory guideline, you are ignoring it, and you are continuing with your disruptive behaviour after it has been pointed out to you. If you don't already know that "having citations only to primary sources" is not in itself a basis for deletion, then you need to read point 7 of WP:DEL-REASON much more carefully. Please stop.

- Reasonable people can disagree, but I do not think this suggests notability. The fact that I made an AfD request that was not perfect does not imply I am acting in bad faith or intentionally being "disruptive".
- Regardless, I will not be starting any more AfDs until all the current ones are closed. Landpin (talk) 16:31, 30 July 2025 (UTC)
- Thank you. Can you provide a list of your currently open AfD discussions? — The Anome (talk) 16:57, 30 July 2025 (UTC)
- No. Landpin (talk) 17:10, 30 July 2025 (UTC)
- I believe they're all in Category:AfD debates (Society topics). Not sure. Landpin (talk) 17:13, 30 July 2025 (UTC)

- For the purposes of transparency, I acknowledge that I merged the Closure of Prisons Order 2013 and the Closure of Prisons Order 2014 pages due to the fact that they were both pieces of a bigger sequence of events. Landpin (talk) 07:32, 2 August 2025 (UTC)

Merge process
[edit]Hi Landpin, hope you're well. Your merge of Closure of Prisons Order 2013 and Closure of Prisons Order 2014 to 2013-2014 closures of prisons in England and Wales didn't follow the proper merge process at WP:MERGETEXT. If you are making merges, you have to follow the process as laid out there (including using specific edit summaries and reconciling talk page templates); these are important for copyright and transparency reasons.
Your merge didn't use the correct edit summaries (technically breaching copyright requirements) and didn't move any of the WikiProject templates over to the new page. If you see yourself merging pages even semi-regularly, please read and follow WP:MERGE every time - I find it helps to have it open side by side in another tab so I don't miss anything. For this instance, you will need to repair the insufficient attribution. Please take your time when you're making these sorts of edits; sometimes undoing a mistake is more work than doing it right first time round. Gazamp (talk) 21:19, 2 August 2025 (UTC)
- I wrote the Closure of Prisons Order 2013 page today
- how was this significantly different to just renaming the 2014 page? Landpin (talk) 21:58, 2 August 2025 (UTC)
- Because the attributions which are required for proper copyright are part of the page history and your merge to a new page doesn't link to those without the example edit summaries at WP:MERGETEXT. For example, my content from the 2014 article which you copied to the new page now doesn't have a proper chain of attribution back to its original edit on the 2014 article, which violates the license that Wikipedia edits are submitted under. Any time you copy and paste content between pages it's good (and often required) to say this and leave a link too - see WP:COPYWITHIN. Gazamp (talk) 22:13, 2 August 2025 (UTC)
- Ah.
- Sorry for that.
- I have left an attribution note on the talk page now. Landpin (talk) 22:16, 2 August 2025 (UTC)

Potential mistake
[edit]Hi there. Thanks a lot for all these articles. I'm just reaching out because as I was creating talk pages the one for the Education Amendment Act, 2024 really stumped me - the lead seems to be talking about a different act than the body? Maybe you can take a look. All the best, MediaKyle (talk) 16:09, 3 August 2025 (UTC)
- yes sorry my mistake Landpin (talk) 16:34, 3 August 2025 (UTC)
