I have no idea which revisions need revdel at Greenwood Laboratory School, especially as the copvio detector seems to be down. Have you any idea what might be the last clean(ish) version? It might just be simplest to revdel everything subsequent to that or nuke it and start again if we can't find a clean version. Thanks. Nthep (talk) 15:34, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
Hi Darren-M, I just saw that you reverted an edit here: [1], that added "pizza" to the "see also" section of the article about manakish. I don't see how it's "nonconstructive". Pizza is historically related to manakish; see for example the pita article. According to WP:SEEALSO, "see also" sections "enable readers to explore tangentially related topics". In fact, pizza is even linked in the lead paragraph of the article - though because of that it should actually not be in "see also", per WP:NOTSEEALSO. So the main reason I'm leaving this message is becase I also saw that you gave the user a level-1 "vandalism" warning: [2]. Their edit is not in any way vandalism, which is the malicious defacing or damaging of Wikipedia. It was clearly a good-faith and reasonable effort to improve Wikipedia. I've taken the liberty of removing the warning template; if you disagree you can reinstate it and/or we can discuss it further. I'm asking you to try to be careful about leaving "vandalism" warnings unless an edit really is blatant vandalsim; otherwise it may go against our policies. Thanks... --IamNotU (talk) 02:26, 17 June 2020 (UTC)

Hi Darren,
The name of the district Karur is officially changed to Karoor by chief minister of Tamilnadu, India in June 2020. A total of 1000+ names of places in Tamilnadu were changed.
Yesterday you accepted a edit at Boxing,[3] which was performed by an edit-warring IP (thought by at least one editor to be a block evader) and that was the subject of a request for page protection. The added material is not supported by the source given. I have therefore undone the edit. DrKay (talk) 07:27, 19 June 2020 (UTC)
why did you change the lede sourcing, and can you please explain why your new sources are better than the original? Gooduserdude (talk) 08:38, 19 June 2020 (UTC)
You are receiving this notice because you recently edited one or more pages relating to blockchain or cryptocurrencies topics. You have not done anything wrong. We just want to alert you that "general" sanctions are authorized for certain types of edits to those pages.
A community decision has authorized the use of general sanctions for pages related to blockchain and cryptocurrencies. The details of these sanctions are described here. All pages that are broadly related to these topics are subject to a one revert per twenty-four hours restriction, as described here.
General sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimise disruption in controversial topic areas. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to these topics that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behaviour, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. An editor can only be sanctioned after the editor has been made aware that general sanctions are in effect. It is only effective if it is logged here. Before continuing to edit pages in these topic areas, please familiarise yourself with the general sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.Jtbobwaysf (talk) 21:29, 21 June 2020 (UTC)
Hello Darren,
I saw your response and was curious, what if the Public Official doesn't consent to their place of residence being published on Wikipedia?

Legal issues
Subjects who have legal or other serious concerns about material they find about themselves on a Wikipedia page, whether in a BLP or elsewhere, may contact the Wikimedia Foundation's volunteer response team (known as OTRS). Please e-mail info-en-qwikimedia.org with a link to the article and details of the problem; for more information on how to get an error corrected, see here. It is usually better to ask for help rather than trying to change the material yourself.
As noted above, individuals involved in a significant legal or other off-wiki dispute with the subject of a biographical article are strongly discouraged from editing that article.
Glad that you noticed the templates on Institutional racism. I don't usually answer but you made me aware of how my POV may have affected my answer to having tags placed that make the article seem contested, when we did contest it 5 years ago quite extensively, as I recall some of the fights resulted in time-outs. I wanted to call the editor out for what I see as a white-wash, but that term has been shelved as it is seen as combative. Using verbosity and non-neutral POV as leverage to make an article on what are valid complaints of people of color against the 'system' is a tired trope from intellectuals who want to provide 'cover'- but not violate WP rules against such actions. If an editor adds to an article or raises valid questions about grammar, I'm stepping back and lurking in the shadows. This was a whistle that I had to call out, I was just waiting for someone else to do so first so I couldn't be accused of claiming ownership. In the end, If I ignore the larger attempts to de-legitimize the argument I originally made, and no one else does, the argument can then be made to delete the article. Thanks for seeing the greater picture... CaptJayRuffins (talk) 19:11, 24 June 2020 (UTC)

Okay, I don't really care at this point, but how is it I was only notified yesterday about an article I created being proposed for deletion and then it already redirects to the main Subway article? Just kind of curious, was there a discussion? Thanks! Jgera5 (talk) 12:23, 28 June 2020 (UTC)
Hi Darren, your rollback [4] at Davis Polk & Wardwell looks not complete to me. Thanks for action. --Nyook ✉ 10:55, 28 June 2020 (UTC)

Hi Darren, Regarding "Thought Leaders" Wikipedia has an entry on "thought leader," which says : "A thought leader is an individual or firm that is recognized as an authority in a specialized field and whose expertise is sought and often rewarded," citing a Forbes story. In the context of the Knight Commission, the phrase "whose expertise is sought" applies, but not the end of that phrase, "rewarded."
Also I wanted to point out that Knight Commission is not a lobby group.
Do you also review the other edits as well? Thank you. 71.163.180.15 (talk) 18:58, 1 July 2020 (UTC)
