- Delete as above.ru:Фонд Викимедиа already exists and is Interwiki linked. Perhaps I shouldn't grumble, but the way now Interwiki links are done rather than adding them manually like we used to do in the good old days, tends to multiply useless Interwiki links. Now, doing the IW was a right old pain if one had a few languages one had collated an article from; but it had the advantage that one could pick and choose (and not necessarily direct to the exactly parallel topic but to a near but more informative topic); it was quite frequent to go around the houses, for me, from English to German to Spanish to French to Hungarian or whatever, then back to English, and find myself going fromLondon Transport toLPTB or whatever, in a series ofChinese whispers. I am not sure that was a bad thing, on the whole; as BD pointed out recently elsewhere and which I wholeheartely agree with, we are here to serve readers looking for information, and I am not sure that this automatic IW stuff helps that: it saves editors some effort, but harms readers searching.

There is no such festival,this just reveals pages mirroring Wikipedia such as OneLook dictionary, it isn't the first time I've seen this. -TheChampionMan123400:20, 11 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete per nom.--Lenticel(talk)00:39, 11 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete per nominator. Weird. —mako๛22:33, 11 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Note the creator of this article madea whole bunch of these at about the same time. It might be good to figure out what what was going on? —mako๛22:36, 11 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- You're right. This is a bit odd I looked atPing'an for example and it is a DAB, almost all of which are redlinks (which obviously a DAB should not have). That might be an exception, because most of the entries at that DAB are to places in China, not North Korea.Busan International School is an R toBusan Foreign School which is inSouth Korea (so it says). That is just my plucking examples more or less at random; I am sure others would tend to the same conclu. All in mid-2007. Something is a bit fishy here.Si Trew (talk)15:00, 15 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Going round the houses,1999 IIHF Asian Oceanic Junior U18 Championship exists via R to DABs to Rs to DABs etc. The Champ is probably the best to judge this (I don't write Chinese or Hangul, but can parse katakana and hiragana) but I doubt an English speaker would ever think to type that title into a search bar. These were createden masse in summer of 2007, but I would not like to judge by whom. As a native English speaker, they seem very well written in English: and all tied up etc (wish I was that good an editor) but I would guess either China or North Korea. Some are to South Korea but that is perhaps just a bit if diplomacy (there was a superb statement from North Korea yesterday whichBBC Monitoring picked up, for example, that a British citizen had been givenhard labour for six years for some bit of naughtiness and the British are asking for him back to serve the time in the UK: the question in my head is why would North Korea be so nice rather than just take him out the back and put a bullet through his head, no questions asked? Something fishy with that one too.Ambrose Bierce definesDiplomat in theDevil's Dictionary as "A man sent abroad to lie for his country").Si Trew (talk)15:08, 15 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Second guess. Most of the entries are for schools of some kind (with extreme prejudice, I suggest aDiploma mill). For exampleExeter Academy redireects toPhillips Exeter Academy, based inNew Hampshire (whereas I would have thoughtWP:PRIMARY would be toExeter University in southwest England, now part of theUniversity of the West of England, so my genuine certificate from them is worth bugger all then!)Si Trew (talk)15:17, 15 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Your cub reporter is on the case, as you see. Give me the tools I shall do the job. Not found a geographical IP for it yet.Vermi, Verbum: probat. To be clear, I gotExeter Academy after jumping through hoops of the various DABs and Rs that Benjamin pointed to. Deliberately I am doing it here without links so we don't weave the web closer.Si Trew (talk)15:24, 15 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Re "without links" - are you aware that if you link to [[:Foo]] the colon means it doesn't show up in Foo's what-links-here list?DexDor (talk)19:52, 15 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Nah, I was not aware of that. I always sign for myself and suffer the consequences! I only use that form for Interwiki links etc. That spins another yarn, then. That might be quite relevant, DexDor, because tracing the creator of these Rs to articles (that I tink areWP:PROMO) has taken me a lot of time but I got nowhere. Should we take the articles themselves to AfD? Then obviously the Rs follow. It seems like a promo for various language schools.Si Trew (talk)10:02, 17 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
