justification. You should have a look at what he added. It is generally not suitable to use YouTube videos on Knowledge. Coincidently, there is a suitable video that shows how to aid a snapping turtle to cross a road. This is from a reliable source. Pigeons are NOT a food source for turtles. As it says in the article they feed aquatically. I have no idea nor care how the video of a snapping turtle catching and killing a pigeon was made. It appears to come from a source called "bannedontheweb.com", which gives some clue to its provinence. By the way, it may not even be a common snapping turtle. The tail is too short but the quality of the video is too poor to be definitive.

I appreciate that it seems uncontroversial, but if it's alright (since it's not based on naming conventions, etc) I think it would be better for the page to wait the 7 days of the requested move template. It may attract external interest from other editors. If, after 7 days it remains the same, then just toss a 402:
An earlier decision was made to keep a picture of a Great Blue Heron holding and potentially eating a baby turtle. In the Great Blue Heron article it specifically mentions that herons eat reptiles although they commonly eat fish. Several other editors agreed that the picture be kept. Agamemus was the

Thanks for the request to mediate, however, I choose to decline. I have had earlier dealings with Agamemnus regarding this article and have come to realize that we cannot resolve our differences. I chose not to answer his message to my talk page because he did not justify his reversion. There is no

Thanks for replying so soon! I can wait, that isn't the problem. I think it is obvious that "income gender gap" is not the common name of the subject (see sources) but perhaps it is less clear if "gender wage gap" or "gender pay gap" is more appropriate. Giving it 7 more days won't hurt. Thank you

Not a problem. :) The reason it didn't show up on requested moves is that the template was not transcluded. You have an archived discussion and no move template. In any case, an uninvolved administrator is the one who closed the request as no consensus in the first place. You would have to put

It was my understanding that if there is "no consensus" that it goes onto the "requested moves" page for the admins to decide. I don't see why "no consensus" among the editors would automatically result in "no move", since that would constitute a decision on the matter. -

Was the uninvolved administrator supposed to do that? I was under the impression that all move requests without consensus were supposed to go to the requested move page to be settled. -
