I see you've reverted my addition the Guttenplag image of Guttenberg's thesis plagiarism. As you can see [1], the result of an RfC was that the section on Guttenberg's plagiarism should be expanded to a few paragraphs, reflecting its (apparently decisive) importance to his political career. Your interpretation of Wikipedia guidelines (that when a "main article" is separated out, a topic no longer needs to be given due weight in the original article) was not shared by those who commented in the RfC. I'd like to move forward on this issue somehow, but if you revert me every time I try to expand the plagiarism section to give it the due weight it deserves, that's impossible. - Thucydides411 ( talk) 22:46, 2 November 2016 (UTC)
Dewritech thank you for the opportunity to respond to my edits being reverted. Someone has changed the sentence in the Norway article to "Dano-German House". If you look at the edit history, it has always said "German", and that is what is correct. I'm not going to write a lot about history here as you probably get lots of replies, but basically if you do quick research you will see I'm right. Unfortunately for our region, us Scandinavians always try to out-do each other. We're friends now, but when it comes to history, it's bitter. The royal family is German, but I fear someone are trying to insert their own personal made-up notions instead of facts. "Dano-German" is not a correct or common notion even though this family ruled Denmark for a long time, I am Norwegian myself and I'm just trying to fix the article, after someone changed it. It's supposed to say "German House". Thank you very much for reading this, and please reply on my wall or something, I'm not good at wiki, but I know I get a notification when I get messages/replies on my wall. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:4642:99B5:0:6486:CAC4:A1EA:2495 ( talk) 19:36, 19 November 2016 (UTC)

Dewritech, I'm sorry to hear that you think that my contribution to the coconut page is not constructive. For this I'd like to explain to you why I have tried to make the certain change I did to the coconut page. Under the production and cultivation tab, it states there that in south Texas, coconuts can grow in the Brownsville area, but fail to produce viable fruit due to cold snaps. Being a Brownsville native, I can say for certain that this detail is wrong. Although coconuts aren't very widespread in the Rio Grande Valley, they do have the capacity to grow to fruiting maturity. If pictures are needed to serve as evidence of this, I'm more than happy to provide them. Thank you. Borjrob1226 ( talk) 02:28, 4 April 2017 (UTC)

They exist to serve a purpose. In some cases a compound adjective and nouns that utilize a hyphen can be replaced with a single word (e.g. team-mates vs. teammates), but not always. You recent edits to Owen Maddock (and identical edits you made in 2014 to the same page, e.g here) are a case in point. In this context, a home-builder is not the same thing as a homebuilder. The former is a person who builds things at home (in contrast to, say, a factory producer), the latter a person who build homes. Please make sure that you understand the context and implications of your edits before making them. Pyrop e 13:57, 8 August 2017 (UTC)

Hi there. I know it wasn't your intent, but can you be careful when using AWB or other tools to clean up "typos". I put it in quotes because some of them are correct and not typos. For example in this edit you changed ie to i.e. which is not correct. Ie is a Japanese word and particle and is not short form for example. I would ask that you check any alterations made by these tools manually to ensure that they are actually correct in the context and slow down on making them as well. Tools, like bots, aren't always correct and can create a bit of a mess for others to clean up. Cheers. Canterbury Tail talk 12:17, 6 September 2017 (UTC)
Hi Dewtrich,

Hello, Dewritech.
I recently sent you an invitation to join NPP, but you also might be the right candidate for another related project,
AfC, which is also extremely backlogged. |
Hello Dewritech. 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. Anarchyte ( work | talk) 23:59, 29 December 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for your efforts! Guys like you who've made it your mission to clean up after slobs like myself never get thanked enough!
There is, however, one little part of an edit that you made to Spacetime that I reverted, with an explanation embedded in the source markup. Against the general guidelines, I added a space between a punctuation mark and a reference. Here is why, as I explained it in the source:
<!--Before deleting the space between this and the following HTML comment, please note that the use of space was intentional. This seems to be a case when beginning the reference immediately after the punctuation mark can lead to undesirable results.--> <!--The list of paginations in the {{rp}} template is so long, that, depending on line length, we can get *very* ugly breaks between the words "quantum" and "entanglement". I did try using a zero-width space character (​), but the zero-width space doesn't work in all browsers.-->

Hello Dewritech, thank you for your work reviewing New Pages!
Overall the June backlog drive was a success, reducing the last 3,000 or so to below 500. However, as expected, 90% of the patrolling was done by less than 10% of reviewers.
Since the drive closed, the backlog has begun to rise sharply again and is back up to nearly 1,400 already. Please help reduce this total and keep it from raising further by reviewing some articles each day.

I see you've reverted my addition the Guttenplag image of Guttenberg's thesis plagiarism. As you can see [1], the result of an RfC was that the section on Guttenberg's plagiarism should be expanded to a few paragraphs, reflecting its (apparently decisive) importance to his political career. Your interpretation of Wikipedia guidelines (that when a "main article" is separated out, a topic no longer needs to be given due weight in the original article) was not shared by those who commented in the RfC. I'd like to move forward on this issue somehow, but if you revert me every time I try to expand the plagiarism section to give it the due weight it deserves, that's impossible. - Thucydides411 ( talk) 22:46, 2 November 2016 (UTC)

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

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. Anarchyte ( work | talk) 23:59, 29 December 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for your efforts! Guys like you who've made it your mission to clean up after slobs like myself never get thanked enough!
There is, however, one little part of an edit that you made to Spacetime that I reverted, with an explanation embedded in the source markup. Against the general guidelines, I added a space between a punctuation mark and a reference. Here is why, as I explained it in the source:
<!--Before deleting the space between this and the following HTML comment, please note that the use of space was intentional. This seems to be a case when beginning the reference immediately after the punctuation mark can lead to undesirable results.--> <!--The list of paginations in the {{rp}} template is so long, that, depending on line length, we can get *very* ugly breaks between the words "quantum" and "entanglement". I did try using a zero-width space character (​), but the zero-width space doesn't work in all browsers.-->
Cheers!

Thanks for looking over the Medda entry. Concerning the advert tag, do you have a specific example in the text that could be changed? I read the info page but am still not sure how to improve the entry. Maybe you have some suggestions? Abonzz ( talk) 23:35, 18 June 2018 (UTC)

Hello Dewritech, thank you for your work reviewing New Pages!
Overall the June backlog drive was a success, reducing the last 3,000 or so to below 500. However, as expected, 90% of the patrolling was done by less than 10% of reviewers.
Since the drive closed, the backlog has begun to rise sharply again and is back up to nearly 1,400 already. Please help reduce this total and keep it from raising further by reviewing some articles each day.

Hi Dewritech, Thank you for your work adding stubs to articles! I did notice that you added stubs and orphan tags to a few disambiguation pages. As per WP:STUB and WP:ORPHAN, DAB pages don't need to be tagged as such. Thanks! Jmertel23 ( talk) 12:53, 11 September 2018 (UTC)
Hello Dewritech, thank you for your work reviewing New Pages!
The New Page Feed currently has 2700 unreviewed articles, up from just 500 at the start of July. For a while we were falling behind by an average of about 40 articles per day, but we have stabilised more recently. Please review some articles from the back of the queue if you can (Sort by: 'Oldest' at Special:NewPagesFeed), as we are very close to having articles older than one month.

Hello, thank you for tagging the page ANSR Consulting. I re-read the page and removed the advert-sounding words - was a flaw in my judgment and not intentional :) Can you please take a look at the page and see if I have missed something? Thanks for helping out. Csgir ( talk) 05:11, 21 October 2018 (UTC)
