I got a notice today saying " User:Formerly6697 was reviewed by Benzband" timestamped about 12:28 WP time. It didn't link to anything except my own Userpage. I am not familiar with this process at Wikipedia and the only thing I could find was this article but I am confused since apparently that is supposed to be by request which I did not do. Can you help me understand what this is all about? Why was I reviewed? Is there a report of some sort connected with this review and if so where is it? Did I pass/fail some kind of test? What are the plus's and minus's in all this? Please enlighten me. Thanks. F6697 FORMERLY 66.97.209.215 TALK 04:18, 4 January 2014 (UTC)

Whack! You've been whacked with a wet trout. Don't take this too seriously. Someone just wants to let you know that you did something silly. |

Yummy! Benzband has eaten the trout. It tasted good! |
I shouldn't of challenged Bluecollarchessplayer if it was for the public to play, so I kinda deserve a trout too!
Ben, could you possibly come and make your move or get someone else to do it for you? Regards, Titus Fox 08:41, 9 February 2014 (UTC)
Could You do it again, and please advertise this a little bit. Reagrds, Titus Fox 17:28, 12 February 2014 (UTC)
Where'd Nommy Trout Go? Titus Fox 15:09, 8 March 2014 (UTC)
Hello Benzband, How are you? And happy 2014.
I haven't contacted you in awhile. However I'd like to add something to Rudy Buttignol's Wikipedia page.
I need to add the following line and Marsha Lederman's Globe & Mail ref to the end of paragraph 1 of his Career section.
Here is the info:
<ref> He has also been sited for making the distinction between the documentary genre and reality-based entertainment http://www.theglobeandmail.com/arts/television/a-new-er-pulls-back-the-curtain-on-public-health-care/article16177576/ <ref>
Would you help me please?
Many thanks!

Rudy Buttignol originated the idea behind the 2014 television series ''Emergency Room: Life and Death at VGH''. He stressed the distinction between the genre of the series, which is a [[Television documentary|documentary]], and that of reality-based [[entertainment]].<ref>{{cite news |last=Lederman |first=Marsha |url=http://www.theglobeandmail.com/arts/television/a-new-er-pulls-back-the-curtain-on-public-health-care/article16177576/ |title=A real-life ER pulls back the curtain on public health care |newspaper=[[The Globe And Mail]] |date=7 January 2014 |accessdate=14 January 2014}}</ref>
Dear Benzband, Thanks for reading the Marsha Lederman Globe & Mail article so closely and I agree that the addition of context for the "ER" television series works. I can't top your work. Okay if I post as is at the end of para 1 Career?
Many thanks,

Hello again benzband. Thanks for your help with Rudy Buttignol and I will make the addition to the Career section now. And thanks for the Wikipedia etiquette lesson. I can't understand "(by inserting the right amount of colons :)" and so I tried to indent manually. Sorry about the trout thing. I was looking for you and it went on the other page by mistake. I have so much to learn! Sofiabrampton ( talk) 22:03, 16 January 2014 (UTC)

Since the last newsletter, the VisualEditor team has worked mostly minor features and fixing bugs. A few significant bugs include working around a bug in CSSJanus that was wrongly flipping images used in some templates in right-to-left (RTL) environments ( bug 50910) a major bug that meant inserting any template or other transclusion failed ( bug 59002), a major but quickly resolved problem due to an unannounced change in MediaWiki core, which caused VisualEditor to crash on trying to save ( bug 59867). This last bugs did not appear on any Wikipedia. Additionally, significant work has been done in the background to make VisualEditor work as an independent editing system.
As of today, VisualEditor is now available as an opt-out feature to all users at 149 active Wikipedias.

and __FORCETOC__
as selection (forced on, forced off, or default setting; bugs

as a checkbox (
bug 57166).Looking ahead: The character formatting menu on the toolbar will get a drop-down indicator next Thursday. The reference and media items will be the first two listed in the Insert menu. The help menu will get a page listing the keyboard shortcuts. Looking further out, image handling will be improved, including support for alignment (left, right, and center) and better control over image size (including default and upright sizes). The developers are also working on support for editing redirects and image galleries.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Paradox of tolerance, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Intolerance ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
