User talk:Joyous!

Don't worry about making an article perfect. Just make it better.

This user's talk page is monitored by talk page watchers. Some of them even talk back. Their input is welcome, and their help with messages that I cannot reply to quickly is appreciated.

Gonna break in the new talk page with a request.[edit]

Could you look at this article and see if it is a qualifier for deletion? I can't decide. Kingsmasher678 (talk) 00:53, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I tentatively don't think it's a notable person, but my track record for deciding that isn't the greatest. Is there a place where the info could be merged, and the current article turned into a redirect? Joyous! Noise! 02:18, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe, but the article is also unsourced. If it had valid sources, I would merge it with something, but as it is? IDK.

Hm. True. You can certainly toss it in the AFD pile and see what happens. No harm if it results in a "keep." If you want to find a better opinion (not difficult, since the military isn't really my area), you could look through the histories of related pages to see who has a clue about Russian history or the military of that era more generally.

I'll send it to AFD and if notable someone will come out of the woodwork and save it. Thanks for the help!

I'm not sure how helpful I was, but you're welcome. I hope the new talk page fit ok, and wasn't too snug. Joyous! Noise! 02:46, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry to be a bother again, but could you take a look at the AfD board right now? It needs some attention. Kingsmasher678 (talk) 02:54, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

List of Intel Core processors merge complete![edit]

Hi Joyous,

In reference to Talk:Intel Core § Merger proposal, I am pleased to report that the merging of the Core 2, i3, i5, i7, i9, M lists into the "List of Intel Core processors" page is complete!

The tables have all been reworked to improve efficiency and reduce clutter, which solved the article size problem. This has been by far the absolute biggest project that I've ever completed on here!

So anyways, the following pages now need to be turned into redirects to List of Intel Core processors:

You said to me on that talk page discussion that you have some automated script or something that does the turning of the former pages into redirects, the placing of the talk page notices and whatnot. Could you please run that here? Cheers — AP 499D25 (talk) 11:29, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Tell you what, what I'll do instead, is do the redirecting of the original pages into the merged page myself, and let you know once I've done that.

Although the merging is complete, I've still got a bit of work to do in regards to adding anchors to the section headings to make section links from other articles and from URLs still work, so basically it is not 100% but 99.5% complete. I'm going to do that one last task before converting the original pages into redirects, as I feel like if I do that afterwards, I'll create a bit of a 'high-traffic' situation on the target page, and I may run into those incredibly annoying edit conflicts. — AP 499D25 (talk) 15:15, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry I couldn't respond earlier today--I was about to head out the door for a volunteer gig. (Orphaned baby raccoons. They're adorable and evil in equal measure.) Just let me know when you're ready. And thanks for all of the hard work. Joyous! Noise! 20:06, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That's okay, I wrote that message very late at night yesterday. Sounds like a bit of fun! Will do. — AP 499D25 (talk) 23:42, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Alrighty, it is now all complete! — AP 499D25 (talk) 02:37, 11 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

And the Easy-Merge bits are done. Joyous! Noise! 02:42, 11 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks a lot!

I think I spent a grand total of a couple weeks worth of time rewriting all the Core i tables in the new layout.

Although soon I may start a split request to put the i3/i5/i7/i9 processors into a new "List of Intel Core i3/i5/i7/i9 processors" combined article, as Intel changed up their naming system with the 2024 processor releases, and from there, if it goes like that I will start a new page "List of Intel Core and Core Ultra 3/5/7/9 processors" for the new and future models to go under, along with "List of Intel Processor processors" for the Intel Processor-branded Pentium replacements. This would make it easier to find those newly named processor models than if we all had it in one article.

Anyways I appreciate the assistance! — AP 499D25 (talk) 03:19, 11 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
