Wikipedia:Another baseless nomination

This page contains material which is considered humorous. It may also contain advice.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

If you've been directed here, it's probably because you either nominated an article to be moved using Wikipedia:Requested moves, or supported a nomination, on the basis that the subject of the article (whom we'll call whatsitsname) has just changed their name so we should hurry up and follow their lead.

Whoever directed you here thinks that you messed up in so doing. There are many, many places in which it is politely requested that you read the article title policy before proposing or supporting an article move. And the article title policy clearly says that we choose our article title based on what other people call whatsitsname, not what whatsitsname calls itself. We're pretty keen and consistent on following this policy.

Being polite obviously doesn't work with you, does it? But unfortunately, it's also Wikipedia policy that we have to be polite to you no matter how rudely you ignore what we say, or waste our time by so doing. So we will persist.

Please, please, PLEASE READ THE ARTICLE TITLE POLICY. It's a waste of your time as well as ours if you continue to propose or comment on changes to article titles without doing so. Our time on Earth is a finite resource. We want to use it wisely. We want you to. So pretty, pretty please?

But if you still don't want to read the article title policy, there's a shortcut. You could read wp:official names. It's shorter and says much the same things.
