...or other obnoxious editing. Please see
wp:vandalism. Generally, editors should be warned four times before reporting to
WP:AIV. Warning usually are made with
wp:templates. i.e. "templating". See
WP:WARNING for a list of templates. When especially egregious, one can use {{
uw-vand4im}}
{{subst:uw-vand4im|*article name*}} I usually reserve this for additions of objectionable images or text - very racist, overt sexual images, etc. Note that there is a clear distinction between vandalism and
wp:content disputes, and other
wp:disruptive editing. Be sure not to confuse the two! Cheers

HI, the article is translated now. I do apologize for not commenting when I removed the tag. I've commented many times during the translation process. That's all I have done - translated. I will make sure it's done properly next time.

You are more than welcome to continue making quality contributions to Wikipedia. Note that because you are a logged-in user, you can create articles yourself, and don't have to post a request. However, you may continue submitting work to Articles for Creation if you prefer.
Thank you for helping improve Wikipedia!
SwisterTwister talk 04:43, 14 December 2016 (UTC)Hi FriyMan. After reviewing your request for "rollbacker", I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:
If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! -- Samtar talk · contribs 12:00, 13 January 2017 (UTC)

Hello FriyMan, I hope that I'm doing this procedure correctly. My page was flagged for a speedy deletion because the subject was not deemed important enough. I'd included external links to IMDb credits and an official discography listing from AllMusic (amongst others). I'm not certain what else is required to prove legitimacy, relevance, or importance. Please let me know so I can fix it. Thanks! Cartoonhotdog ( talk) 08:56, 3 March 2017 (UTC)

Greetings, I'm Exemplo347. I've noticed that you have been making a large number of edits in rapid succession - 24 in 2 minutes - and I'd like to know how? Are you using a bot? I'm curious. Regards Exemplo347 ( talk) 09:47, 17 January 2017 (UTC)
At least one of your Automated welcomes has been posted on the page of a user who has been here for 10 years - User talk:Realblade - and TexTucker has been here since July 2016 so I question the validity of whatever process you are using to select and welcome "new users". I see that after this issue was raised with you, you went on to do the exact same thing again in two more large batches, again so rapidly that it is not humanly possible for you to have individually checked each message to make sure it was appropriate for each user - unless you're about to tell me that you were able to perform these checks in less than 6 seconds, because at 11:44 you posted 10 messages.

Hello FriyMan. 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. -- Samtar talk · contribs 14:51, 2 March 2017 (UTC)
Hello FriyMan, I hope that I'm doing this procedure correctly. My page was flagged for a speedy deletion because the subject was not deemed important enough. I'd included external links to IMDb credits and an official discography listing from AllMusic (amongst others). I'm not certain what else is required to prove legitimacy, relevance, or importance. Please let me know so I can fix it. Thanks! Cartoonhotdog ( talk) 08:56, 3 March 2017 (UTC)
It is unfortunate that the references of IMDb and AllMusic had gone noticed. The Twitter ref was a citation for a particular statement and the Facebook ref was listed as an external link for an official page at the bottom. I certainly would not use Wikipedia as a promotional tool, but rather as a historical and referential outlet. Cartoonhotdog ( talk) 09:27, 3 March 2017 (UTC)
Thank you for your time editing the article. I have spent a number of hours working through the issues you have a believe I have resolved the following:
I hope that this addressed your concerns. I will re-nominate the article for GA status and would appreciate it if you would repeat you assessment (as you already are read into the subject). I would also appreciate that if you find anything that would still make it fail that you place that onto the talk page and give me time to fix before failing the whole article. Many Thanks - Stingray Trainer ( talk) 23:15, 17 March 2017 (UTC)
Thanks to your incompetence, a lot of editors have had to take time out to clear up your mess. I know what you are trying to do- but you can't. If the material needs to be removed, an administrator will delete it. Your continual refactoring of my talk page is nothing but rude and offensive. I have read the email you sent sent me; there is nothing in it that makes me think this conversation should not be held here. I assumed your original idea was merely thoughtless; I hope that's all it was. Thank you. —

An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Dutchophobia. Since you had some involvement with the Dutchophobia redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion if you have not already done so. : Noyster (talk), 11:38, 19 March 2017 (UTC)
Hi! As a
WP:SPI Clerk, I am officially asking you to cease patrolling or posting to SPI pages (other than to open a case or present evidence)
(see
WP:SPI/PROC#Patrolling). Your comments at several SPI pages are confusing and unhelpful. We hace SPI clerks and
wp:checkusers who are experienced in dealing with sockpuppets. The process is a bit backlogged, I know, but it's better to wait more than to handle cases badly. Thanks for understanding.

FriyMan, your review at Talk:Romania/GA6 was reversed today, and the article failed by Ritchie333. Indeed, I don't see how anyone could pass an article with so many "citation needed" templates: that alone is grounds for a quickfail, not a quick pass. I've noticed elsewhere on this page that you seem to not do your best work when dealing with certain Wikipedia processes: this review, and your other ones, are evidence that you do not understand the GA review process, which also includes the GA criteria and how to apply them.
I would like to suggest that you not do any further reviews at GAN for quite a while; indeed, I'd like to suggest that you gain some experience from the other side: getting your own articles to the point where they meet the criteria and are ready to be nominated, and then see what issues the reviewer brings up and what you need to do to fix them. Best of luck in your other Wikipedia endeavors. BlueMoonset ( talk) 17:51, 20 March 2017 (UTC)

Hello FriyMan. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Alan Abel of the Philadelphia Orchestra, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Article claims importance/significance of the subject. Thank you. So Why 06:52, 3 April 2017 (UTC)
A file that you uploaded or altered, File:2017 spb metro.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Files for discussion. Please see the discussion to see why it has been listed (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry). Feel free to add your opinion on the matter below the nomination. Thank you. – Davey2010 Talk 20:01, 3 April 2017 (UTC)
A tag has been placed on File:2017 spb metro.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a non-free file with a clearly invalid licensing tag; or it otherwise fails some part of the non-free content criteria. If you can find a valid tag that expresses why the file can be used under the fair use guidelines, please replace the current tag with that tag. If no such tag exists, please add the {{ Non-free fair use}} tag, along with a brief explanation of why this constitutes fair use of the file. If the file has been deleted, you can re-upload it, but please ensure you place the correct tag on it.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Whpq ( talk) 20:09, 3 April 2017 (UTC)

Hi there. You might be interested to know that Alan Abel (musician), an article you tagged for A7 speedy deletion, has appeared on yesterday's Main Page as part of Wikipedia:Did you know?. I'm not telling you to berate you or to make you feel bad, I just wanted to take the time to point out that oftentimes articles that are tagged prematurely can turn out to be about notable subjects after a little bit of research (or just using Google News/Books). Rescuing such article attempts is not as easy as "drive-by" taggings for deletion but in the long run it's in the project's best interest to have articles about notable people and not scare off editors who create them less-than-perfectly. It took me a while to arrive at this conclusion myself back in my "younger" days so I thought you might appreciate the heads up. Regards So Why 18:39, 23 April 2017 (UTC)

Since rolling out the right in November, just 6 months ago, we now have 813 reviewers, but the backlog is still mysteriously growing fast. If every reviewer did just 55 reviews, the 22,000 backlog would be gone, in a flash, schwoop, just like that!
But do remember: Rather than speed, quality and depth of patrolling and the use of correct CSD criteria are essential to good reviewing. Do not over-tag. Make use of the message feature to let the creator know about your maintenance tags. See the tutorial again HERE. Get help HERE.

If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback.

Thanks for bringing the ugly state of my User page to my attention. It was actually an attempt to paste in an image i had converted to ASCII art. I've put up a temporary user page now.

Hello FriyMan, I hope that I'm doing this procedure correctly. My page was flagged for a speedy deletion because the subject was not deemed important enough. I'd included external links to IMDb credits and an official discography listing from AllMusic (amongst others). I'm not certain what else is required to prove legitimacy, relevance, or importance. Please let me know so I can fix it. Thanks! Cartoonhotdog ( talk) 08:56, 3 March 2017 (UTC)

Greetings, I'm Exemplo347. I've noticed that you have been making a large number of edits in rapid succession - 24 in 2 minutes - and I'd like to know how? Are you using a bot? I'm curious. Regards Exemplo347 ( talk) 09:47, 17 January 2017 (UTC)
At least one of your Automated welcomes has been posted on the page of a user who has been here for 10 years - User talk:Realblade - and TexTucker has been here since July 2016 so I question the validity of whatever process you are using to select and welcome "new users". I see that after this issue was raised with you, you went on to do the exact same thing again in two more large batches, again so rapidly that it is not humanly possible for you to have individually checked each message to make sure it was appropriate for each user - unless you're about to tell me that you were able to perform these checks in less than 6 seconds, because at 11:44 you posted 10 messages.

Hello FriyMan. 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. -- Samtar talk · contribs 14:51, 2 March 2017 (UTC)

It is unfortunate that the references of IMDb and AllMusic had gone noticed. The Twitter ref was a citation for a particular statement and the Facebook ref was listed as an external link for an official page at the bottom. I certainly would not use Wikipedia as a promotional tool, but rather as a historical and referential outlet. Cartoonhotdog ( talk) 09:27, 3 March 2017 (UTC)
Thank you for your time editing the article. I have spent a number of hours working through the issues you have a believe I have resolved the following:
I hope that this addressed your concerns. I will re-nominate the article for GA status and would appreciate it if you would repeat you assessment (as you already are read into the subject). I would also appreciate that if you find anything that would still make it fail that you place that onto the talk page and give me time to fix before failing the whole article. Many Thanks - Stingray Trainer ( talk) 23:15, 17 March 2017 (UTC)
Thanks to your incompetence, a lot of editors have had to take time out to clear up your mess. I know what you are trying to do- but you can't. If the material needs to be removed, an administrator will delete it. Your continual refactoring of my talk page is nothing but rude and offensive. I have read the email you sent sent me; there is nothing in it that makes me think this conversation should not be held here. I assumed your original idea was merely thoughtless; I hope that's all it was. Thank you. —

Hi! As a
WP:SPI Clerk, I am officially asking you to cease patrolling or posting to SPI pages (other than to open a case or present evidence)
(see
WP:SPI/PROC#Patrolling). Your comments at several SPI pages are confusing and unhelpful. We hace SPI clerks and
wp:checkusers who are experienced in dealing with sockpuppets. The process is a bit backlogged, I know, but it's better to wait more than to handle cases badly. Thanks for understanding.

FriyMan, your review at Talk:Romania/GA6 was reversed today, and the article failed by Ritchie333. Indeed, I don't see how anyone could pass an article with so many "citation needed" templates: that alone is grounds for a quickfail, not a quick pass. I've noticed elsewhere on this page that you seem to not do your best work when dealing with certain Wikipedia processes: this review, and your other ones, are evidence that you do not understand the GA review process, which also includes the GA criteria and how to apply them.
I would like to suggest that you not do any further reviews at GAN for quite a while; indeed, I'd like to suggest that you gain some experience from the other side: getting your own articles to the point where they meet the criteria and are ready to be nominated, and then see what issues the reviewer brings up and what you need to do to fix them. Best of luck in your other Wikipedia endeavors. BlueMoonset ( talk) 17:51, 20 March 2017 (UTC)

Hello FriyMan. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Alan Abel of the Philadelphia Orchestra, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Article claims importance/significance of the subject. Thank you. So Why 06:52, 3 April 2017 (UTC)
A file that you uploaded or altered, File:2017 spb metro.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Files for discussion. Please see the discussion to see why it has been listed (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry). Feel free to add your opinion on the matter below the nomination. Thank you. – Davey2010 Talk 20:01, 3 April 2017 (UTC)
A tag has been placed on File:2017 spb metro.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a non-free file with a clearly invalid licensing tag; or it otherwise fails some part of the non-free content criteria. If you can find a valid tag that expresses why the file can be used under the fair use guidelines, please replace the current tag with that tag. If no such tag exists, please add the {{ Non-free fair use}} tag, along with a brief explanation of why this constitutes fair use of the file. If the file has been deleted, you can re-upload it, but please ensure you place the correct tag on it.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Whpq ( talk) 20:09, 3 April 2017 (UTC)

Hi there. You might be interested to know that Alan Abel (musician), an article you tagged for A7 speedy deletion, has appeared on yesterday's Main Page as part of Wikipedia:Did you know?. I'm not telling you to berate you or to make you feel bad, I just wanted to take the time to point out that oftentimes articles that are tagged prematurely can turn out to be about notable subjects after a little bit of research (or just using Google News/Books). Rescuing such article attempts is not as easy as "drive-by" taggings for deletion but in the long run it's in the project's best interest to have articles about notable people and not scare off editors who create them less-than-perfectly. It took me a while to arrive at this conclusion myself back in my "younger" days so I thought you might appreciate the heads up. Regards So Why 18:39, 23 April 2017 (UTC)

Since rolling out the right in November, just 6 months ago, we now have 813 reviewers, but the backlog is still mysteriously growing fast. If every reviewer did just 55 reviews, the 22,000 backlog would be gone, in a flash, schwoop, just like that!
But do remember: Rather than speed, quality and depth of patrolling and the use of correct CSD criteria are essential to good reviewing. Do not over-tag. Make use of the message feature to let the creator know about your maintenance tags. See the tutorial again HERE. Get help HERE.

Hi FriyMan. I noticed that with this edit to the next admin newsletter (to be delivered in a few days), you added an entry about adding a "researcher" permission to the admin toolset. Do you think you could provide a link that clarifies what this means? Viewing deleted pages is already a part of the admin toolset, and at the moment, administrators are unable to grant the " researcher" permission. Mz7 ( talk) 06:18, 27 May 2017 (UTC)
