Elwin/ElwenHi Cuchullain, I wanted to get your current opinion about the Elwin redirect page. I think you might want to consider changing the Elwin page that you created as a redirect page on 20 January 2010 to a Disambiguation page because there are many other uses of the name Elwin and your redirect target is not even spelled the same. For Example: Elwin, Illinois, Verrier Elwin, Whitwell Elwin, Ross Elwin, Hastings Elwin, among others as well as several given names Elwin.BuffaloBob (talk) 20:22, 21 February 2020 (UTC)

Beside the Arthurian articles themselves, there are e.g. asteroids named after Arthurian figures, and the pronunciation is often opaque. — kwami (talk) 08:39, 4 April 2020 (UTC)

LGBT-free zonesI was hoping that you'd agree with me and make the target a singular noun, as we often do. Not a big deal, just wanted to make sure you saw what I wrote. —Soap— 20:50, 13 August 2020 (UTC)
Jubilee station (Calgary)Hi there, I noticed you are the one who changed the station/article to be Jubilee station. I was wondering if you could fix it back to SAIT/AUArts/Jubilee. I know you said you looked at Google News, which I don't know about but I honestly have never heard it be called "jubilee station" and I went to SAIT for a long time. I don't know how to go about that, I tried a page move but there was something preventing me from doing it. --MattBinYYC (talk) 22:08, 22 August 2020 (UTC)
American SamoaHi, Cuchullain. Regarding your closure at Talk:Futiga, could I ask if there's any detail you might be able to add regarding the closing rationale? You correctly note that the respondents (myself among them) disagreed, but it might be helpful to know how the considerations brought up in the discussion were weighed. Thank you! ╠╣uw [talk] 16:57, 24 August 2020 (UTC)
Portugal. The ManAsking you because you closed the move, not because I think you have any interest in the page itself. A few years back there was a proposal to change the page Portugal. The Man to remove the punctuation, which did not get a consensus. This summer, a user removed all the punctuation from the article itself (although did not change the page title) with the argument that "those stupid periods make this article impossible to read." I'd like to revert those changes and suggest that this be proposed as another move if the editor feels a change is needed since the last discussion. However, there have been multiple technical edits since that one, so I did not want to undo, but wanted to see if there was an easy way to do that that does not remove all the other edits done since that you are aware of?--Yaksar (let's chat) 19:21, 28 August 2020 (UTC)

Page views and primary topicsIn the edit summary here you say that the people are getting 2/3 of the pageviews. That may have been technically true last year, but only because of three unusual spikes in traffic. If you take them out, you'll see that the people and the language receive very similar views: you can try a narrower range [2] outside of these spikes, or a broader one, where one-off traffic events would tend to cancel out [3]. In either case, the people get less than 60% of the views. – Uanfala (talk) 20:28, 2 January 2021 (UTC)
Also, would you be able to clarify what statistics you're using here? Wherever I look, I only see figures around 58–59% for the people. – Uanfala (talk) 20:32, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

Happy New Year and thanks!Hi Cuchullain! Having been elected to ArbCom, I was looking back at my RfA nostalgically the other day, and realized we haven't crossed paths much since I stopped being very active at RM.

Why is this the only article in those categories not to include the word "American"? Even the United States men's national American football team article includes it, and that's the last nation you'd expect to need the "American" qualifier. – PeeJay 21:56, 17 January 2021 (UTC)
