Hello Adotchar. Your account has been added to the "New page reviewers
" user group, allowing you to review new pages and mark them as patrolled, tag them for maintenance issues, or in some cases, tag them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at the New Pages Feed. New page reviewing is a vital function for policing the quality of the encylopedia, if you have not already done so, you must read the new tutorial at New Pages Review, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the various deletion criteria. If you need more help or wish to discuss the process, please join or start a thread at page reviewer talk.
The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. In case of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, the right can be revoked at any time by an administrator. -- There'sNoTime (to explain) 12:48, 6 December 2017 (UTC)
The Wikimedia Foundation Community health initiative (led by the Safety and Support and Anti-Harassment Tools team) is conducting a survey for en.wikipedia contributors on their experience and satisfaction level with the Administrator’s Noticeboard/Incidents. This survey will be integral to gathering information about how this noticeboard works - which problems it deals with well, and which problems it struggles with.
The survey should take 10-20 minutes to answer, and your individual responses will not be made public. The survey is delivered through Google Forms. The privacy policy for the survey describes how and when Wikimedia collects, uses, and shares the information we receive from survey participants and can be found here:
If you would like to take this survey, please sign up on this page, and a link for the survey will be mailed to you via Special:Emailuser.
Please be aware this survey will close Friday, Dec. 8 at 23:00 UTC.

As we approach the end of the year, the Military History project is looking to recognise editors who have made a real difference. Each year we do this by bestowing two awards: the Military Historian of the Year and the Military History Newcomer of the Year. The co-ordinators invite all project members to get involved by nominating any editor they feel merits recognition for their contributions to the project. Nominations for both awards are open between 00:01 on 2 December 2017 and 23:59 on 15 December 2017. After this, a 14-day voting period will follow commencing at 00:01 on 16 December 2017. Nominations and voting will take place on the main project talkpage: here and here. Thank you for your time. For the co-ordinators, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 08:35, 8 December 2017 (UTC)
Please don't try to modify other people's comments again, especially in important discussions like AfD. This edit where you inserted bold Oppose while the user didn't insert it nor asked you to do so is a big mistake. Don't think that's what he meant, generally don't edit people's comment anywhere.

Hi,
Last month you left this comment on the page I've been working on.
'References are needed that show the subject's notability, not just that it exists. The only reference not from the subject is about the founder. A lot of the information here remains unsourced. The article should be mostly rewritten to comply with WP:NPOV guidelines about promotional content. In short, there's still a lot of work to be done.'
The issue is that the nature of the page is that the majority of the information is either only available on our own Youtube page or cannot be verified at all because J-TV is a YouTube channel.
How do i work around that? Also, what do you mean by notability? — Preceding unsigned comment added by SammyNassimi (talk • contribs) 13:54, 8 January 2018 (UTC)

Hello, Adotchar. Your account has been granted the "extendedmover" user right, either following a request for it or demonstrating familiarity with working with article names and moving pages. You are now able to rename pages without leaving behind a redirect, and move subpages when moving the parent page(s).
Please take a moment to review Wikipedia:Page mover for more information on this user right, especially the criteria for moving pages without leaving redirect. Please remember to follow post-move cleanup procedures and make link corrections where necessary, including broken double-redirects when suppressredirect
is used. This can be done using Special:WhatLinksHere. It is also very important that no one else be allowed to access your account, so you should consider taking a few moments to secure your password. As with all user rights, be aware that if abused, or used in controversial ways without consensus, your page mover status can be revoked.

Dear Vermont, thank you for having checked an article about Izidorius Pocius that I created yesterday. May I ask you what else should be changed in the article so that it does not seem biased, or does it look neutral now? I also tried to work out with the quotation, as apparently there is no information about this personality in English, only in Lithuanian and other language, so the current condition might still be deemed unsatisfactory. My primary goal is to make the POV justly removed. Thank you in advance. -- Wisconsus TALK|things 11:30, 31 January 2018 (UTC)

Request reason:
I recognize that I read WP:3RRBLP wrong, and that it does not apply to restoration of content. I recognize that I should have started a conversation on the talk page. I also recognize that I wrongly considered those edits vandalism, where WP:BLPKIND says "Edits like this by subjects should not be treated as vandalism; instead, the subject should be invited to explain their concerns." Through this, I request leniency on this, as I did not mean to edit unconstructively. This edit warring of mine was based off me thinking it fell under WP:3RRBLP, and after I was informed that it was not applicable I did not make any more edits. Vermont | reply here 02:08, 8 March 2018 (UTC)

Thank you for reviewing my new pages. For Nassach (Fils), you wrote "The only source is Google, which is cited twice". In fact, if you click on both citations, both display a different map: the first citations shows the source, the second one the mouth of the river. Therefore I used two citations instead of one. The problem was obviously, that both citations looked the same without clicking on them. Therefore, I've expanded these citations with the "title" argument now, so that the difference is visible. Thanks for calling my attention to this problem. --Cyfal (talk) 12:20, 12 February 2018 (UTC)
You said it was "borderline NPOV" on my talk page just recently. Does this mean it was borderline non-neutral in its wording? If so, what did you mean, and how can I reword the article to make it more neutral? Best, Every morning (there's a halo...) 14:52, 14 February 2018 (UTC)

Is a revert *ever* a minor edit? As an action in opposition to another editor, and even when obviously justified/a-good-thing/etc., I've never imagined it could be 'minor'. Shenme (talk) 23:31, 21 February 2018 (UTC)
Vermont, according to the GA nomination instructions, since you are not a significant contributor to this article (have you edited it at all?), you need to check with the significant contributors to see whether they feel the article is ready: Nominators who are not significant contributors to the article should consult regular editors of the article on the article talk page prior to a nomination.
I am reverting your nomination of this article for the time being. Once you have done this consultation step on the article talk page—it would be courteous if you specifically pinged such contributors when you've done so—and given at least seven days for responses to come in, you can proceed as appropriate, which could involve addressing issues with the article prior to nominating it. Thank you. BlueMoonset (talk) 02:57, 22 February 2018 (UTC)

Hi Vermont, I already added several sources on this article K M Mozibul Hoque. Actually, I work on that time when you add a tag in the article. --Hasive • talk • 11:25, 20 March 2018 (UTC)
Hi, I have reverted your disruptive edits to Horizon Chase. I'm not sure why you would sign up to be a reviewer if you will only delete article content and sources, making the article untenable. I don't believe that the article is POV at all, as it clearly states some grievances a reviewer had with the game. There were simply not many stated "downsides" to the game given by most reviewers. You should have checked the sources before assuming that it was an opinion. I have added another "negative" to the reception section, but that could have been done without such extreme measures.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 16:54, 20 March 2018 (UTC)
"A 3D game, it touts the fact that it has a unique retro aesthetic inspired by 2D, 16-bit titles. It soundtrack has been referred to as "Sega-core", in reference to that publisher's classic racing games. The game received positive reviews from critics, who praised its visuals, gameplay and soundtrack, calling it one of the best racing games on iOS at the time of its release."I don't think that there is any way to argue that the last sentence in that quote is not promotional . The first sentence of that quote isn't something that should belong in the lead as it doesn't matter what the game "touts" (sounds like puffery). It's also unsourced, but that doesn't matter as long as you mention it later in the article (you don't). Regarding the middle sentence, it does not matter what it has been referred to as. It does not matter what people think of it (in this case), or whether they like the game. We are, first and foremost, an encyclopedia (first pillar) and we are not here to convey to our readers what certain game critics like. (see WP:NOT)
Horizon Chase received positive reviews, with an aggregate score of 88/100 on Metacritic. Carter Dodson of TouchArcade rated the game 5/5 stars, praising the game's visual style, soundtrack and controls, and calling it a "template for how other developers need to do retro-inspired games." Harry Slater of Pocket Gamer rated the game a 9/10, calling it "a bright and brash arcade racer that looks stunning", while saying that its gameplay is good enough to back up its presentation. He noted that the game got "a little grindy at times", though calling it "the type of grind you're happy to wade through". The site awarded the game the "Gold" award.[2] Tom Christiansen of Gamezebo rated the game 3.5/5 stars, calling the visuals "solid" and praising the soundtrack, but saying he disliked the auto-turn assist system that was impossible to turn off, also calling the AI "impossibly fast" and unlocking new cars overly difficult.
"it may have grounds for adding more criticisms of the game"in an earlier comment on my talk page. This is a matter of removing reviews fully. Again, we are an encyclopedia, and our purpose is not to sway readers to support purchasing a product or refraining from purchasing such product. Removing biased reviews (unlikely to be independent) is supported by community consensus outlined in WP:NOT. I recommend that you review WP:RS.
"I'm not sure why you would sign up to be a reviewer if you will only delete article content and sources, making the article untenable.". Why would you say something like that? It's blatantly uncivil. We are here to discuss content and come to a informed consensus, not here to fight. To answer your rhetorical question, I requested New Page Reviewer permissions to help maintain the quality of articles that Wikipedia strives for. Your article had and still has significant promotional issues. I'd much rather have a solid stub than a promotional, but longer, article, and I'm sure you would too. I'm sorry for whatever offense I may have caused by removing your contributions, but from what seems to be community consensus after reviewing policies and Chrissymad's comment, I will remove the promotional material until we have established consensus here or on the article talk page. Thank you. Vermont | reply here 22:50, 20 March 2018 (UTC)
"Articles on video games should give an encyclopedic overview of a game and its importance to the industry.". See my comments about the promotion in the lead, as I address that. Regarding the guidelines that state there should be a "Reception" section, I'll admit I was unaware of that. But, the reception section in Horizon Chase was more promotion than it was showing
"the impact that the subject had on the game industry: commercially, artistically, and technologically."(from WP:VG/CONTENT). Please consider reviewing WP:VG/LRS. Judging from the tone of your response, it seems as though you are defending yourself rather than engaging in discussion. Yes, it's good to stand up for oneself, but remember that we are both here to try to make this encyclopedia as best as it can be. Thanks, Vermont | reply here 00:02, 21 March 2018 (UTC)

An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Napkin ring, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Christening (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Hi Vermont, I have moved Alessandro Nolli Brianzi and Twins of Evil: The Second Coming Tour to draft page Draft:Alessandro Nolli Brianzi and Draft:Twins of Evil: The Second Coming Tourand requested the main page copy to be deleted. As a review, how do you review a page where a page has no independent source to be found? Content added/edited in Wikipedia needs "inline citation" from independent (third party / secondary / tertiary) reliable source (in any language) for verification to gauge the nobility criteria is met. The articles's inline citation is the WP:BURDEN which it is on the person adding the information. Please note official website, records of sport events or individual player records are consider primary source and not independent source, and social network source such as facebook, twitter, instagram, imbd and etc are considered NOT reliable source and can not be used for citing. Independent reliable source are sources are those obtain from major newspaper, such as The Guardian, Sydney Morning Herald, CNN news and etc. or source obtain from major publisher of the work (for example, Random House or Cambridge University Press). Pls see
Here is the links for Patroler info, kindly read Wikipedia:New pages patrol. If a page is not satisfactory, pattroller could move to page to draft for creator further development of the page. Thank you. CASSIOPEIA(talk) 00:28, 26 March 2018 (UTC)
G'day all, please be advised that throughout April 2018 the Military history Wikiproject is running its annual backlog elimination drive. This will focus on several key areas:
As with past Milhist drives, there are points awarded for working on articles in the targeted areas, with barnstars being awarded at the end for different levels of achievement.
The drive is open to all Wikipedians, not just members of the Military history project, although only work on articles that fall (broadly) within the scope of military history will be considered eligible. This year, the Military history project would like to extend a specific welcome to members of Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red, and we would like to encourage all participants to consider working on helping to improve our coverage of women in the military. This is not the sole focus of the edit-a-thon, though, and there are aspects that hopefully will appeal to pretty much everyone.
The drive starts at 00:01 UTC on 1 April and runs until 23:59 UTC on 30 April 2018. Those interested in participating can sign up here.

@Vermont, I will try, but I really struggle with screen time right now due to this medical issue I have, All the work I done on the page last night I did with a friend, he spent ages working on it for me, he had never used Wikipedia before either.

Hey buddy, I need you help again, I keep getting mistaken all over the internet for a US politician called Brendan Carr, it's been going on for a while now and seems to now have started for the first time on my wiki talk page, is there anyway you can turn my page into a page similar to that of the politician where the word Actor or British Actor appears next to my name in the same way another Brendan Carr has Doctor and another Irish politician I believe this would help to stop this happening to me on Wikipedia also, please have a read of what's been posted and see if you can make anything of it lol.
Thank you
Brendan
p.s. my Wikipedia headshot was removed despite the copyright owners writing in and granting permission as I was asked to do again any ideas whats going in there also.

Hi Vermont, New to all this. What do you have to do to make it "Notable"? BGOS 62 — Preceding unsigned comment added by BGOS 62 (talk • contribs) 14:42, 8 April 2018 (UTC)
The spelling "Anne" is correct as it appears on her birth certificate. "Ann" has appeared in some articles, but it is incorrect.Nina07011960 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 22:02, 6 April 2018 (UTC)
Can you please explain to me what the problem is with this article? As I have explained to other editors, Anne Gamble Kennedy was concertizing in the 1940s and 50s. As an African-American, her concerts were not always covered by the white press. I have seen and handled the actual programs of her concerts, but finding references to them online is very difficult. Archives from African-American newspapers are not always available. I have included the links I could find. FYI - her hundreds of students are waiting to see this article, as is the National Fisk University Alumni Association. Nina07011960 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 01:51, 8 April 2018 (UTC)
There is also the sexism question. If she had not been married to the director of the Fisk Jubilee Singers, who knows if that would have freed her up to pursue her own solo career? So many women make this sacrifice. But Anne Gamble Kennedy is undeniably a major part of American musical history. It's just a shame that her race makes her almost invisible. Which content exactly should be removed? I don't know what you mean by "unsourced." It seems every time I Google her, there are more entries. Nina07011960 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 04:30, 8 April 2018 (UTC) And how do I reference a funeral program? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nina07011960 (talk • contribs) 05:29, 8 April 2018 (UTC)
If you are upset with the incident describing the racist conductor of the West Virginia Symphony Orchestra, I have audio tapes of interviews of both Anne Gamble and her husband detailing the incident. How would I reference those? Nina07011960 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 21:05, 8 April 2018 (UTC)
There are many more references now. Can you please tell me if it is ready to re-submit? Nina07011960 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 21:37, 8 April 2018 (UTC)
So would this be correct: Kennedy, N. (1987). Anne Gamble and Matthew Kennedy: Taped interviews Fisk: Fisk University Library. Nina07011960 (talk)
So how do I get the "Source" into the "Notes"? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nina07011960 (talk • contribs) 21:58, 8 April 2018 (UTC)
Okay. I put it in, and added a reference to Aaron Douglas. Please tell me this is ready to re-submit. Nina07011960 (talk)
You still didn't tell me what you meant by "promotional content." The "widely praised" came directly from her funeral program, which I still don't know how to reference. Nina07011960 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 23:53, 8 April 2018 (UTC)
So how would you re-write that sentence? "She was known..."? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nina07011960 (talk • contribs) 20:57, 9 April 2018 (UTC)
Alright. It's done, with a reference. Nina07011960 (talk)
How do you correct the spelling on the caption of a picture. I corrected the spelling on the "More Info" page, and it still comes up wrong. Aaron Douglas has one "s." I don't know how the second "s" got there. Nina07011960 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 00:30, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
Not sure if I was supposed to, but I made a couple of changes. First, at one point you had put "Kennedy" instead of "Gamble." She wasn't married yet. Second, I added "Fisk Memorial Chapel" for the location of their wedding. Nina07011960 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 02:26, 11 April 2018 (UTC)
Oh, and I added the reference you requested, for "Ray Lev." Nina07011960 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 02:32, 11 April 2018 (UTC)
Why are you hiding documented instances of blatant racism? You deleted the racism of the conductor of the West Virginia Symphony. I have audio recordings attesting to this fact. This is American history! Chances are, if that racist man had not been in that position, you would have already heard of Anne Gamble Kennedy. This looks like a white cover-up. Nina07011960 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 20:49, 11 April 2018 (UTC)
I don't know how to add the titles of the articles on newspapers.com in the references, but I can give them to you here:
15. text - "Anne Gamble Kennedy and Matthew Kennedy will perform..."
17. "Emotion Fills Fisk Tribute to Singers" (headline) by Louis Nicholas.
18. "Anne Gamble Kennedy will appear in faculty piano recital..."
19. THE TENNESSEAN, Sunday, April 20, 1975 "Fisk Festival Music-Filled" (headline)
20. "FISK CHOIR STRONG" (headline) By Louis Nicholas Nina07011960 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 21:55, 11 April 2018 (UTC)
And to respond to your last entry, how do you EVER prove racism? People rarely admit to it in public. I'm sorry she couldn't have told you herself about the racism she encountered. We're left trying to tell her story - the whole truth of it. It isn't fair to leave half of the truth out. Nina07011960 (talk)
Re your reversal of my edit, I was trying to correct inaccurate information about the armament of the ships when they were converted to anti-aircraft ships. There are a number of mistakes, including references to 3" guns that were in fact multiple two-pounder pom-poms (either eight barrel or four barrel guns). There are also inconsistent references to the numbers of single 4" guns that were fitted (there is one reference to eleven such guns, whereas originally ten guns were fitted, later reduced to eight guns soon after the outbreak of the Second World War.

I have removed your message at User talk:Lhtee about your deletion proposal for Nicolaos Moussiopoulos, because I have deleted the article for a different reason, and I thought the deletion message might confuse the new editor. In any case the editor will get the message about deletion from your deletion message for the other copy of the same article.

You say that editing "September 11 attacks" to "September 11 false flag attacks" is not constructive - why? It's the truth, and you know that. So what are you talking about? I suppose the September 11 false flag bombings and "psy-op" were what you call constructive? On the contrary, they were highly destructive.
