Hi there. Thanks for addressing why I fail to be a reviewer on pending changes for now. You mentioned that some of my reverts were "questionable." Can you clarify what kind of reverts I do that are questionable? As far as I'm concerned I have not made much reverts, and all of my reverts were quite reasonable. Anyway, could you give me some examples? Thanks, from Gerald WL 17:11, 28 August 2020 (UTC)
Hi Anarchyte,
This is to let you know that the featured picture File:Tooth and Tail - Desert screenshot.png, which you uploaded or nominated, has been selected as the English Wikipedia's picture of the day (POTD) for August 30, 2020. A preview of the POTD is displayed below and can be edited at Template:POTD/2020-08-30. If you have any concerns, please place a message at Wikipedia talk:Picture of the day. Thank you!

Tooth and Tail is a real-time strategy video game developed and published by the indie development team Pocketwatch Games, loosely based on a design by founder Andy Schatz. It was released in September 2017 for Windows, MacOS, Linux, and PlayStation 4. The game is set in a society of anthropomorphic animals during a time of severe food shortage. The player assumes the role of a commander of an army of animals, and begins by choosing six units out of a pool of twenty to use during the game. The goal is to build structures and create units with which to destroy the enemy's resources. This screenshot of the game illustrates its heads-up display, along with various structures and units in a desert landscape. Video game design credit: Pocketwatch Games

Looking upon your edit history the edit you made by commenting "not done" on my pending changes reviewer request and the previous edit is about 7 minutes. Considering you took some time by moving from Requests for permissions/Page mover to Wikipedia:Requests for permissions/Pending changes reviewer, and then taking time to read the comment of @ UncleBubba and also comment by @ Prahlad balaji, then responding them would have taken about 3-5 mins. So, it makes me wonder that your decision to not give me the right for "Pending changes reviewer" was solely based on the comment left by UncleBubba and not by my contribution history of combating vandalism and majority of productive edits(which exceeds any unproductive ones) Looking forward to hearing from you on this matter. Thank you! Angus1986 TALK 12:13, 11 September 2020 (UTC)
@ Prahlad balaji please look this up [ [1]]. My grammar is good enough, and there is no mention of having a grammar knowledge in Wikipedia:Reviewing pending changes He/She was clearly biased for not giving permission even though I was qualified.

You granted rollback to this user yesterday, and today I had to give them a stern warning for some unacceptable behavior. I also blocked their friend for blatant edit warring.

Could you explain why you had problems with [2] and [3]? You mention that those should be reverted as vandalims not good faith; however in both cases they were as vandalism only under an specific subset of vandalism. Reverting all edits as pure vandalism is not only unclear but also an misuse of Redwarn per its page. Thanks in advance, Asartea Talk | Contribs 13:17, 8 October 2020 (UTC)

But here I would like to highlight the issue which I faced during my trial period, my xtools was not working so I didn't take note of my rollback action which I did.

Interface administrator changes
Was pending-changes reviewer right granted to User:Outlander07 ( [4] [5]) so that he can blatantly revert without explanation? Violating WP:REVEXP and WP:FIES, and triggering edit-war without explaining the change in edit summary or in talk page, see history at Kalaripayattu. He has been previously accused of misconduct in the same page (from this SPI, apparently he is a pro- Nair and anti-Ezhava/ Thiyya casteist and promoter of Hinduism - it can be seen at Kalaripayattu too [6]). Do you think he is qualified to posses this right? (let me ping MusikBot too) 2409:4073:D:2E0C:449D:CCB1:2C89:AF70 ( talk) 19:55, 3 December 2020 (UTC)
I apologize in the first place for being late in intervening in the dispute. Edits that have no basis or citations will be removed, If I had not done it, someone else would have done it. My intention there was to remove the unfounded and reach a consensus or to make changes to the scratch. I could not go ahead with it then because of my changed schedules. Even before I came to the article, this gentleman's war had already begun, and it was obvious at a glance. Reverting edits and saying that verified sources on the page are Cherry picked because they do not support his POV. Even calling me a racist, pro-nair ,anti- ezhava. Definitely, the above guy is trying to be a refined POV pusher. Outlander 07@talk 16:59, 5 December 2020 (UTC)
Anarchyte I suspect there is sockpuppetry involved like Kalari Poothara. The very same guy or a group keeps making disruptive or unsourced edits and accusing me by pointing unfounded evidence at WP:SPI. The recent investigation against me was of this kind. Outlander 07@talk 17:29, 5 December 2020 (UTC)
Hi all sorry for being late in discussion here.
Actually i need to make a point here is that I'm not into any disruptive edits or into any vandalism.
The user outlander07 calling me sock puppet is ridiculous.
I have been editing the kalaripayattu article with valod sources from the beginning.
Then suddenly the 2409:4073 range ip came and started disruptive editing and edit war.
In between i only try to discuss the issues to reach a consensus.
You can see https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Kalaripayattu here i have added madhya kerala style discussion.
Later the ip user, suspect that he is a well known wikipedia editor as he is quoting wikipedia rules, came anonymous and started editing disruptive and was into edit was with Kalariwarrior in between in also tried to resolve his claims of i sourced by providing sources.
I have not called anyone pro ezhava or pro nair.
Yes i have contributed to ezhava pages, with references, that doesn't mean I'm a vandal or a pro ezhava.
I have contributed into these pages relating to martial arts as I'm into that subject.
Also i need to make the point clear is that there is also thiyya vandal and tamil vandal adding the word thiyya and tamil (instead of kerala) frequently in page.
Please don't make any false accusations on me.
I'm here to contribute to martial atrs related history or things as I'm highly into.
Thank you

I also suspect the more 'fake vandalism' will be coming from some users to make protect the pages. As i have seen it in many pages earlier, where some fake vandalism attack is carried to show the admins that these caste group is making vandalism (actually not) and forcing the admins to make the things on the page deleted on to increase the page level protection.
These types of proxy vandalism claims i have seen in many pages.
Like you can expect a guy coming today and writing in the article ' Ezhavas were the real kings and they invented kalaripayattu... ' like these.. actually the guy will not be a ezhava but making proxy vandalism attacks to make others think that ezhava are into vandalism and make other to delete all their things from page.
I have seen this tactics in multiple pages which are Outlander 07@talk was highly into edit wars. I suspect him for that. Sorry if I'm wrong. Kalari Poothara ( talk) 01:11, 6 December 2020 (UTC)
Also i have been editing only after making consensus through talk pages.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Kalariwarrior#Madhya_Kerala_Style
You can see above an example of how i dealt with other users especially user Kalariwarrior, even before making an edit, i have started down discussion with him.
As I'm a new user(2 months), i always tried to aligned with the wikipedia rules and regulations.
Thank you Kalari Poothara ( talk) 01:22, 6 December 2020 (UTC)
Hello Anarchyte,
It has been a productive year for New Page Patrol as we've roughly cut the size of the New Page Patrol queue in half this year. We have been fortunate to have a lot of great work done by Rosguill who was the reviewer of the most pages and redirects this past year. Thanks and credit go to JTtheOG and Onel5969 who join Rosguill in repeating in the top 10 from last year. Thanks to John B123, Hughesdarren, and Mccapra who all got the NPR permission this year and joined the top 10. Also new to the top ten is DannyS712 bot III, programmed by DannyS712 which has helped to dramatically reduce the number of redirects that have needed human patrolling by patrolling certain types of redirects (e.g. for differences in accents) and by also patrolling editors who are on on the redirect whitelist.
Rank | Username | Num reviews | Log |
---|---|---|---|
1 | DannyS712 bot III ( talk) | 67,552 | Patrol Page Curation |
2 | Rosguill ( talk) | 63,821 | Patrol Page Curation |

9 | Hughesdarren ( talk) | 4,520 | Patrol Page Curation |
10 | Utopes ( talk) | 3,958 | Patrol Page Curation |
John B123 has been named reviewer of the year for 2020. John has held the permission for just over 6 months and in that time has helped cut into the queue by reviewing more than 18,000 articles. His talk page shows his efforts to communicate with users, upholding NPP's goal of nurturing new users and quality over quantity.
As a special recognition and thank you DannyS712 has been awarded the first NPP Technical Achievement Award. His work programming the bot has helped us patrol redirects tremendously - more than 60,000 redirects this past year. This has been a large contribution to New Page Patrol and definitely is worthy of recognition.

I have filed requests to Oversight several times, have a rough idea of what's involved, and saw this request before it was redacted. I had a very similar conversation many years ago when an editor claimed something along the same lines was outing, there was a brief discussion about whether or not it was, and no action was taken. (I'm not going to link to the discussion directly because it allows people to work out what was redacted here). Hopefully, Arbcom will sort this out, as you've caused an editor to retire, which is never a nice feeling. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 15:09, 9 March 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for your note [19] on my talk about your proposed speedy deletion of Category:Legislative speakers in Czechoslovakia. You reverted it, but it drew my attention to find out why the category was empty. I tracked the problem down to this edit [20] by @ Good Olfactory, which incorrectly removed the category's only content: Category:Lists of legislative speakers in Czechoslovakia. I presume that was an error by GO, so I reverted it, and the category is no longer empty. -- BrownHairedGirl (talk) • ( contribs) 14:23, 18 March 2021 (UTC)

Hello reviewer, Clearly I'm a neophyte to this and am terribly confused by all the code required for what I see as little more than an email.

So, I've changed the copyright notice on the website to (cc) or creative commons and Free Cultural Works. I hope that resolves this issue and we can proceed with the creation of a wiki page for my software?

Doja Cat
Hey! I came here to request that Doja Cat's Wikipedia page be unprotected. This article was protected due to vandalism in May 2020, when Doja Cat faced accusations of participating in racist conversations on the internet. The accusations have since died down (and to an extent have been proven false). Furthermore...
1. Due to the article's protection, a lot of necessary information doesn't get added until long after they happen.
2. I'm sure there would be many unconfirmed users interested in adding content (Doja Cat is pretty famous right now, so this is a given).
3. The risk for vandalism is significantly lower than it was before.

Hi there. Thanks for addressing why I fail to be a reviewer on pending changes for now. You mentioned that some of my reverts were "questionable." Can you clarify what kind of reverts I do that are questionable? As far as I'm concerned I have not made much reverts, and all of my reverts were quite reasonable. Anyway, could you give me some examples? Thanks, from Gerald WL 17:11, 28 August 2020 (UTC)
Hi Anarchyte,
This is to let you know that the featured picture File:Tooth and Tail - Desert screenshot.png, which you uploaded or nominated, has been selected as the English Wikipedia's picture of the day (POTD) for August 30, 2020. A preview of the POTD is displayed below and can be edited at Template:POTD/2020-08-30. If you have any concerns, please place a message at Wikipedia talk:Picture of the day. Thank you!

Tooth and Tail is a real-time strategy video game developed and published by the indie development team Pocketwatch Games, loosely based on a design by founder Andy Schatz. It was released in September 2017 for Windows, MacOS, Linux, and PlayStation 4. The game is set in a society of anthropomorphic animals during a time of severe food shortage. The player assumes the role of a commander of an army of animals, and begins by choosing six units out of a pool of twenty to use during the game. The goal is to build structures and create units with which to destroy the enemy's resources. This screenshot of the game illustrates its heads-up display, along with various structures and units in a desert landscape. Video game design credit: Pocketwatch Games

Looking upon your edit history the edit you made by commenting "not done" on my pending changes reviewer request and the previous edit is about 7 minutes. Considering you took some time by moving from Requests for permissions/Page mover to Wikipedia:Requests for permissions/Pending changes reviewer, and then taking time to read the comment of @ UncleBubba and also comment by @ Prahlad balaji, then responding them would have taken about 3-5 mins. So, it makes me wonder that your decision to not give me the right for "Pending changes reviewer" was solely based on the comment left by UncleBubba and not by my contribution history of combating vandalism and majority of productive edits(which exceeds any unproductive ones) Looking forward to hearing from you on this matter. Thank you! Angus1986 TALK 12:13, 11 September 2020 (UTC)
@ Prahlad balaji please look this up [ [1]]. My grammar is good enough, and there is no mention of having a grammar knowledge in Wikipedia:Reviewing pending changes He/She was clearly biased for not giving permission even though I was qualified.

Could you explain why you had problems with [2] and [3]? You mention that those should be reverted as vandalims not good faith; however in both cases they were as vandalism only under an specific subset of vandalism. Reverting all edits as pure vandalism is not only unclear but also an misuse of Redwarn per its page. Thanks in advance, Asartea Talk | Contribs 13:17, 8 October 2020 (UTC)

Interface administrator changes
Was pending-changes reviewer right granted to User:Outlander07 ( [4] [5]) so that he can blatantly revert without explanation? Violating WP:REVEXP and WP:FIES, and triggering edit-war without explaining the change in edit summary or in talk page, see history at Kalaripayattu. He has been previously accused of misconduct in the same page (from this SPI, apparently he is a pro- Nair and anti-Ezhava/ Thiyya casteist and promoter of Hinduism - it can be seen at Kalaripayattu too [6]). Do you think he is qualified to posses this right? (let me ping MusikBot too) 2409:4073:D:2E0C:449D:CCB1:2C89:AF70 ( talk) 19:55, 3 December 2020 (UTC)
I apologize in the first place for being late in intervening in the dispute. Edits that have no basis or citations will be removed, If I had not done it, someone else would have done it. My intention there was to remove the unfounded and reach a consensus or to make changes to the scratch. I could not go ahead with it then because of my changed schedules. Even before I came to the article, this gentleman's war had already begun, and it was obvious at a glance. Reverting edits and saying that verified sources on the page are Cherry picked because they do not support his POV. Even calling me a racist, pro-nair ,anti- ezhava. Definitely, the above guy is trying to be a refined POV pusher. Outlander 07@talk 16:59, 5 December 2020 (UTC)
Anarchyte I suspect there is sockpuppetry involved like Kalari Poothara. The very same guy or a group keeps making disruptive or unsourced edits and accusing me by pointing unfounded evidence at WP:SPI. The recent investigation against me was of this kind. Outlander 07@talk 17:29, 5 December 2020 (UTC)
Hi all sorry for being late in discussion here.
Actually i need to make a point here is that I'm not into any disruptive edits or into any vandalism.
The user outlander07 calling me sock puppet is ridiculous.
I have been editing the kalaripayattu article with valod sources from the beginning.
Then suddenly the 2409:4073 range ip came and started disruptive editing and edit war.
In between i only try to discuss the issues to reach a consensus.
You can see https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Kalaripayattu here i have added madhya kerala style discussion.
Later the ip user, suspect that he is a well known wikipedia editor as he is quoting wikipedia rules, came anonymous and started editing disruptive and was into edit was with Kalariwarrior in between in also tried to resolve his claims of i sourced by providing sources.
I have not called anyone pro ezhava or pro nair.
Yes i have contributed to ezhava pages, with references, that doesn't mean I'm a vandal or a pro ezhava.
I have contributed into these pages relating to martial arts as I'm into that subject.
Also i need to make the point clear is that there is also thiyya vandal and tamil vandal adding the word thiyya and tamil (instead of kerala) frequently in page.
Please don't make any false accusations on me.
I'm here to contribute to martial atrs related history or things as I'm highly into.
Thank you

I also suspect the more 'fake vandalism' will be coming from some users to make protect the pages. As i have seen it in many pages earlier, where some fake vandalism attack is carried to show the admins that these caste group is making vandalism (actually not) and forcing the admins to make the things on the page deleted on to increase the page level protection.
These types of proxy vandalism claims i have seen in many pages.
Like you can expect a guy coming today and writing in the article ' Ezhavas were the real kings and they invented kalaripayattu... ' like these.. actually the guy will not be a ezhava but making proxy vandalism attacks to make others think that ezhava are into vandalism and make other to delete all their things from page.
I have seen this tactics in multiple pages which are Outlander 07@talk was highly into edit wars. I suspect him for that. Sorry if I'm wrong. Kalari Poothara ( talk) 01:11, 6 December 2020 (UTC)
Also i have been editing only after making consensus through talk pages.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Kalariwarrior#Madhya_Kerala_Style
You can see above an example of how i dealt with other users especially user Kalariwarrior, even before making an edit, i have started down discussion with him.
As I'm a new user(2 months), i always tried to aligned with the wikipedia rules and regulations.
Thank you Kalari Poothara ( talk) 01:22, 6 December 2020 (UTC)
Hello Anarchyte,
It has been a productive year for New Page Patrol as we've roughly cut the size of the New Page Patrol queue in half this year. We have been fortunate to have a lot of great work done by Rosguill who was the reviewer of the most pages and redirects this past year. Thanks and credit go to JTtheOG and Onel5969 who join Rosguill in repeating in the top 10 from last year. Thanks to John B123, Hughesdarren, and Mccapra who all got the NPR permission this year and joined the top 10. Also new to the top ten is DannyS712 bot III, programmed by DannyS712 which has helped to dramatically reduce the number of redirects that have needed human patrolling by patrolling certain types of redirects (e.g. for differences in accents) and by also patrolling editors who are on on the redirect whitelist.
Rank | Username | Num reviews | Log |

1 | DannyS712 bot III ( talk) | 67,552 | Patrol Page Curation |
2 | Rosguill ( talk) | 63,821 | Patrol Page Curation |

10 | Utopes ( talk) | 3,958 | Patrol Page Curation |
John B123 has been named reviewer of the year for 2020. John has held the permission for just over 6 months and in that time has helped cut into the queue by reviewing more than 18,000 articles. His talk page shows his efforts to communicate with users, upholding NPP's goal of nurturing new users and quality over quantity.
As a special recognition and thank you DannyS712 has been awarded the first NPP Technical Achievement Award. His work programming the bot has helped us patrol redirects tremendously - more than 60,000 redirects this past year. This has been a large contribution to New Page Patrol and definitely is worthy of recognition.

I have filed requests to Oversight several times, have a rough idea of what's involved, and saw this request before it was redacted. I had a very similar conversation many years ago when an editor claimed something along the same lines was outing, there was a brief discussion about whether or not it was, and no action was taken. (I'm not going to link to the discussion directly because it allows people to work out what was redacted here). Hopefully, Arbcom will sort this out, as you've caused an editor to retire, which is never a nice feeling. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 15:09, 9 March 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for your note [19] on my talk about your proposed speedy deletion of Category:Legislative speakers in Czechoslovakia. You reverted it, but it drew my attention to find out why the category was empty. I tracked the problem down to this edit [20] by @ Good Olfactory, which incorrectly removed the category's only content: Category:Lists of legislative speakers in Czechoslovakia. I presume that was an error by GO, so I reverted it, and the category is no longer empty. -- BrownHairedGirl (talk) • ( contribs) 14:23, 18 March 2021 (UTC)

Doja Cat
Hey! I came here to request that Doja Cat's Wikipedia page be unprotected. This article was protected due to vandalism in May 2020, when Doja Cat faced accusations of participating in racist conversations on the internet. The accusations have since died down (and to an extent have been proven false). Furthermore...
1. Due to the article's protection, a lot of necessary information doesn't get added until long after they happen.
2. I'm sure there would be many unconfirmed users interested in adding content (Doja Cat is pretty famous right now, so this is a given).
3. The risk for vandalism is significantly lower than it was before.
