RMHED
Admin Neelix has been on an article moving spree. Being a Wikipedia fucktard he's moved articles like "Council of Ministers of the Isle of Man" to "Cabinet of the Isle of Man". He seems to have done this with all such similar articles, all in the name of uniformity!!

The fact that these renames are completely inaccurate seems to have escaped this genius.

"FUCKTARD" = someone with whom I disagree.

What offends me here is the flat Wikipedia structure. I'd think the "Council of Ministers of the Isle of Man," presumably that's the official name, would be a subpage of "The Isle of Man," in a real encyclopedia.

I'll agree that RMHED is basically right. The official name should be used, not a name that is really based on Original Research, i.e., "The Council of Ministers" is a "Cabinet." But surely the "Cabinet" connection could be handled with a category instead of using it in the name, which should clearly be ... the name!

Categories are based on a limited form of original research, often....

Categories are a playground for all sorts of WikiMiscreants. You can push POV using categories because they are sort of a blind spot in the core policies.

Neelix is one of those quiet little crazy robots who grinds out edits--stupid and pointless edits, perhaps.

He's never been mentioned on WR before. His RFA from February has that "gabba, gabba, one of us" smell to it.
He really likes to split and move articles and write redirects, and he really likes to ignore the CSD policy.

Just another of those "sir, are you a computer program?" types of users. Almost every day, for months at a time, he sits there
for 6-10 hours in the afternoon, generating this stuff. I realize that Newfoundland is probably a boring place to live, but damn.

Yes, Cabinet of China and China Cabinet really are redirects.

Clearly this should be a disambiguation page, as should any other title where the same sequence of letters is interpreted differently based on capitalization, punctuation, or spacing.
