Hello B. I am glad to see your name on my watchlist today!! You are an asset to the 'pedia so whether you edit a lot or a little your efforts are always appreciated. Cheers. MarnetteD|Talk 16:42, 22 August 2019 (UTC)
...For reverting the.... fun edits (lol)... left on my user talk page. I also wanted to message you to say hi! It's been awhile since we've talked! I hope you're having a great day and that life is treating you well. Please remember that my user talk page is always open to you, and you're welcome to message me there any time you need or want to. I'm here to help, and I'll be more than happy to do so. :-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 11:46, 1 September 2019 (UTC)

Hello.. please don't change the following edit on Tushar Dutta... i'm his disciple and i'm providing nothing false informations — Preceding unsigned comment added by Srgmpdn7notes (talk • contribs) 18:49, 7 September 2019 (UTC)
Hello Bonadea,
Instead of reaching a magic 300 as it once did last year, the backlog approaching 6,000 is still far too high. An effort is also needed to ensure that older unsuitable older pages at the back of the queue do not get automatically indexed for Google.
A proposal is taking place here to confirm a nominated user as Coordinator of NPR.
Why I Hate Speedy Deleters, a 2008 essay by long since retired Ballonman, is still as valid today. Those of us who patrol large numbers of new pages can be forgiven for making the occasional mistake while others can learn from their 'beginner' errors. Worth reading.
Do bear in mind that articles in the feed showing the trash can icon (you will need to have 'Nominated for deletion' enabled for this in your filters) may have been tagged by inexperienced or non NPR rights holders using Twinkle. They require your further verification.
Please be sure to look for the tell-tale signs of undisclosed paid editing. Contact the creator if appropriate, and submit the issue to WP:COIN if necessary. WMF policy requires paid editors to connect to their adverts.
Regular reviewers will appreciate the most recent enhancements to the New Pages Feed and features in the Curation tool, and there are still more to come. Due to the wealth of information now displayed by ORES, reviewers are strongly encouraged to use the system now rather than Twinkle; it will also correctly populate the logs.
Stub sorting, by SD0001: A new script is available for adding/removing stub tags. See User:SD0001/StubSorter.js, It features a simple HotCat-style dynamic search field. Many of the reviewers who are using it are finding it an improvement upon other available tools.
Assessment: The script at User:Evad37/rater makes the addition of Wikiproject templates extremely easy. New page creators rarely do this. Reviewers are not obliged to make these edits but they only take a few seconds. They can use the Curation message system to let the creator know what they have done.
DannyS712 bot III is now patrolling certain categories of uncontroversial redirects. Curious? Check out its patrol log.

I don't mean any offence with this, but I genuinely don't think you understand what a box office bomb is. Pal Pal Dil ke Paas suffered an 83% loss against its reported budget. As a percentage, this is one of the highest in Bollywood in recent times. So by the very definition, the film is a box office flop, disaster, or bomb (whatever you'd like to label it as). Where does your confusion stem from? Are you looking for a source that literally calls the film a "box office bomb"? TransportationPHD (talk) 20:02, 2 November 2019 (UTC)
Hello Bonadea,
This newsletter comes a little earlier than usual because the backlog is rising again and the holidays are coming very soon.
There are now 809 holders of the New Page Reviewer flag! Most of you requested the user right to be able to do something about the huge backlog but it's still roughly less than 10% doing 90% of the work. Now it's time for action.
Exactly one year ago there were 'only' 3,650 unreviewed articles, now we will soon be approaching 7,000 despite the growing number of requests for the NPR user right. If each reviewer soon does only 2 reviews a day over five days, the backlog will be down to zero and the daily input can then be processed by every reviewer doing only 1 review every 2 days - that's only a few minutes work on the bus on the way to the office or to class! Let's get this over and done with in time to relax for the holidays.
Want to join? Consider adding the NPP Pledge userbox.
Our next newsletter will announce the winners of some really cool awards.
Admin Barkeep49 has been officially invested as NPP/NPR coordinator by a unanimous consensus of the community. This is a complex role and he will need all the help he can get from other experienced reviewers.
Paid editing is still causing headaches for even our most experienced reviewers: This official Wikipedia article will be an eye-opener to anyone who joined Wikipedia or obtained the NPR right since 2015. See The Hallmarks to know exactly what to look for and take time to examine all the sources.
Would you like feedback on your reviews? Are you an experienced reviewer who can give feedback to other reviewers? If so there are two new feedback pilot programs. New Reviewer mentorship will match newer reviewers with an experienced reviewer with a new reviewer. The other program will be an occasional peer review cohort for moderate or experienced reviewers to give feedback to each other. The first cohort will launch November 13.
The annual ArbCom election will be coming up soon. All eligible users will be invited to vote. While not directly concerned with NPR, Arbcom cases often lead back to notability and deletion issues and/or actions by holders of advanced user rights.
There is to be no wish list for WMF encyclopedias this year. We thank Community Tech for their hard work addressing our long list of requirements which somewhat overwhelmed them last year, and we look forward to a successful completion.

Hello, I should probably explain the situation better, since you're coming into the middle of it and there's been a lot of lies and deceit in a particular user's harassment of me. I'm addressing the misguided revert you made on the "Nocturnes (Debussy)" talk page. Every time someone reposts that thread, they contribute to the harassment and slander of me. You're the third person to do this in the past hour I think. Here's the history.
AnUnnamedUser had been harassing me. I didn't report it, I just dealt with it myself. At one point he tried to divert a thread where people including me were having a perfectly reasonable peaceful conversation. AUU's diversion was intentional, designed to deplatform. He posted something and signed it with my user name, making it look like I was saying or responding to something I wasn't because I didn't write it. He actually took a previous post of mine in another thread, modified the words, and presented it in this new diversion thread. This of course is a complete violation of WP rules. I had the right to delete it and I did.
He then engaged in an edit-war, constantly reposting it and changing the post each time. Finally he stopped and went away. But the next day he was back and restoring it again and even added a "reply" to this fake post of "mine". The reply was insulting and more harassment.
A lot of other things happened which I won't go into here, but suffice to say:
To clarify: all that was in the ORIGINAL thread this guy created was a faked post from me, making it look like I was responding to his DRN notice. The "notice" was as bogus as my reply. I certainly had the right to delete it and I did. He kept bringing it back and changing it and adding to it with more harassment. Gerda Arendt replied to it before I could delete it again, but she doesn't mind. So you have to understand, I'm still trying to delete the original forged post, that's all. Maybe I shouldn't even put a blurb in there explaining what happened to it... I think I'll get rid of that (or I could put a link to a copy of this explanation). I could even post a request to have entries in the edit history removed (not sure how to do that)... I may have to do that eventually, but it'd be nice if this all calmed down.

Bonadea: You reverted my edits to the Psychiatry section of the Insight page because you said they sounded like they were not neutral. Yet you provided no explanation or evidence for that. I added the edits because the page as it currently is, is anything but neutral. The concept of "insight" in psychiatry is enormously controversial, highly political, and very polarized. If a person reads that page now, they get a highly biased, one-sided perspective. Even worse, an uninformed person would not even know the issue was controversial. I provided numerous scientific and legal sources to substantiate that there re different perspectives on what insight is in psychiatry, how it is evaluated, and "who" gets to determine who has insight and who doesn't. Essentially, I have tried to neutrally clarify that there is in fact controversy about this issue. The current text tries to hide and obscure that. It's as if the wiki page on Palestine failed to mention the existence of Israel or vice versa, and both failed to mention any conflict in the region. I request that you place that text back in, or provide a clarification as to how it could be better incorporated. Gabble25 (talk) 03:22, 11 November 2019 (UTC) Gabble25

There is absolutely NOTHING "extreme" about the writer's views. They are measured and reasoned. Not liking an opinion does not make it "extreme".
The article had been extremely skewed to portray the reaction to the documentary as entirely negative, when it was not. I have not removed any of the negative opinions, although many of them are marginal, redundant and from 'organizations' that barely exist beyond an occasional negative press release whenever Islam is examined in the media. But the positive views need to be included as well.
To appease those who want it as negative as possible, I have allowed credentials of the documentary's supporters to be removed and other things that frankly shouldn't be necessary. And now to appease you, I will move the paragraph to the 'media reviews' section (since it is on an established political news website and is written by a published author and journalist) and shorten the quote, but skewing the article negative by repeatedly deleting writers who have spoken in defense of the documentary while leaving in literally all the negative comments, no matter how redundant or marginal, is not unbiased editing.Lilipo25 (talk) 09:25, 26 November 2019 (UTC)
Hello Bonadea, thanks for your edits to the Nathan Yau page. However, could you please clarify for me why you consider Kantar Information is Beautiful Awards and Fast Company's Design by Innovation Awards not notable? You removed their mentions from the article. I am only a young editor and only learning, but I consider them actually corresponding to the notability criteria and therefore deserving a place in articles like this, and that is why I especially want to understand your arguments. Or maybe you will agree they are notable. They give recognized acknowledgement, are widely covered in the world media and in the internet in general, and so on. Please take a closer look and tell me what you think and how I should treat such awards and subjects in the future as an editor. Thanks. Avbgok (talk) 14:51, 9 December 2019 (UTC)

This year's Reviewer of the Year is Rosguill. Having gotten the reviewer PERM in August 2018, they have been a regular reviewer of articles and redirects, been an active participant in the NPP community, and has been the driving force for the emerging NPP Source Guide that will help reviewers better evaluate sourcing and notability in many countries for which it has historically been difficult.
Special commendation again goes to Onel5969 who ends the year as one of our most prolific reviewers for the second consecutive year. Thanks also to Boleyn and JTtheOG who have been in the top 5 for the last two years as well.
Several newer editors have done a lot of work with CAPTAIN MEDUSA and DannyS712 (who has also written bots which have patrolled thousands of redirects) being new reviewers since this time last year.
Thanks to them and to everyone reading this who has participated in New Page Patrol this year.

A recent Request for Comment on creating a new redirect autopatrol pseduo-permission was closed early. New Page Reviewers are now able to nominate editors who have an established track record creating uncontroversial redirects. At the individual discretion of any administrator or after 24 hours and a consensus of at least 3 New Page Reviewers an editor may be added to a list of users whose redirects will be patrolled automatically by DannyS712 bot III.
Set to launch early in the new year is our first New Page Patrol Source Guide discussion. These discussions are designed to solicit input on sources in places and topic areas that might otherwise be harder for reviewers to evaluate. The hope is that this will allow us to improve the accuracy of our patrols for articles using these sources (and/or give us places to perform a WP:BEFORE prior to nominating for deletion). Please watch the New Page Patrol talk page for more information.
While New Page Reviewers are an experienced set of editors, we all benefit from an occasional review. This month consider refreshing yourself on Wikipedia:Notability (geographic features). Also consider how we can take the time for quality in this area. For instance, sources to verify human settlements, which are presumed notable, can often be found in seconds. This lets us avoid the (ugly) 'Needs more refs' tag.

Hi Bonadea, why did you remove your messages to this user? The reason I ask is because I thought you posed reasonable questions to them. S0091 (talk) 23:34, 25 December 2019 (UTC)
Hello, you were the admin who deleted the wiki I submitted twice. The reason for deletion is section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.
I must admit that the first wiki I submitted was written in an objective POV. But this time, I wrote it in a neutral POV, as per wiki suggestions. I also asked opinion from someone with a fresh perspective towards the subject just to make sure I did not wrote it subjectively.
Can you help me understand why it has been deleted this time and what can I do to have the article approved?
Also, I hope I had this chance to tell editors my intention of creating a wiki for someone, but to share, I'm trying to make a wiki for the subject because he is a dating coach and we wanted to have him on Wiki for people to verify his credibility. He was mentioned in several sites/magazines that are credible and was featured in a news program so I think it is fair to have his name on wiki as well.
Looking forward to hear from you. Happy holidays!

And I have exlpained you several times my understanding but nothing works through.That is known as "other editors not agreeing with you". When that happens, you can't ignore it and force your text through. You are using Wikipedia to praise your favourite actors and pad their articles with hyped text and tons of detail that make them completely inaccessible. But I will assume good faith and take you on your word, when you said just now that you will not edit war – so I'll remove the policy violating text again, and if you wish to discuss that or have the policies explained again, please come to the article talk page and ask. Thank you for agreeing to do this. --bonadea contributions talk 16:00, 30 January 2020 (UTC)
Upon your recent message me to me, I note that part of what you entered stated that "though those doctrines [Referring to personal/religious beliefs] may be discussed in an appropriate section that clearly labels those beliefs for what they are.". Given I was making my edits on the article about a religious document, correcting them to match the views of those that use that specific document. I assumed that was included under an "appropriate section that clearly labels those beliefs for what they are.". Especially when considering that my edits were information provided from a class specifically about that specific document, and numerous personal studies of the document, I assume correcting "modern scholars" to "secular scholars" to show the clear differentiation between the two, so that new readers would not assume the "modern scholars" were referring to biblical scholars (As they clearly were not). If attempting to clarify the difference between the two is somehow pushing my opinion, I would appreciate an explanation as to how they are, rather than a copy and pasted paragraph designed with anti-theistic sentiment (Which to note, is an opinion in and of itself). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vaxorian (talk • contribs) 21:50, 1 January 2020 (UTC)

I would say with 99.9% certainty that this user is absolutely engaging in paid or COI editing, so much so that I'd actually bet money on it. Without spilling all the beans, every single tell is there but more importantly, I'll note that this is beyond Wikipedia and someone (possibly an agency) is engaging in what I call PR shopping, which is flooding various news entities with stories about their clients to make them appear legit. It's so incredibly telling that every single one of these article subjects are supposedly famous in an Arabic speaking country, like Saudi Arabia, for example yet none of the sources are Saudi publications and there's nothing in Arabic, which I've verified with a well trusted Ar editor.
