Thanks for noticing the new article I created on the book The Case for Impeachment ! What do you think of the article ? Sagecandor ( talk) 21:03, 5 June 2017 (UTC)

Hi,
Why did you rollback my edit? That page does not meet G1. Adam9007 ( talk) 22:11, 6 June 2017 (UTC)
I recently removed a speedy delete tag that you had placed on Elemental Dragon. I do not think that Elemental Dragon fits any of the speedy deletion criteria because This page is clearly not Patent Nonsense (please reread WP:CSD#G1). Indeed few pages ever are. Nor is it CLEARLY made up by the poster. In fact it reads like an except from the monster list of an RPG (one of the many D&D variants perhaps), or perhaps of a video game. As such it could possibly be notable with contexgt and sources, although probably not. But it isn't a speedy deletion candidate.. I request that you consider not re-tagging Elemental Dragon for speedy deletion without discussing the matter on the appropriate talk page. DES (talk) DESiegel Contribs 03:46, 7 June 2017 (UTC)
Hi, I don't understand how your edit] on this (and other) talk pages is helpful. Just slapping a WikiProject on a page, without any ratings, looks unprofessional. As it is, I was just preparing the ratings before you stepped in. In future, you might want to flesh out your edits with "class" and "importance". These parameters for a biography are also helpful. Yoninah ( talk) 19:29, 7 June 2017 (UTC)
The article Jessica Watkins has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your
edit summary or on
the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the
proposed deletion process, but other
deletion processes exist. In particular, the
speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and
articles for deletion allows discussion to reach
consensus for deletion.
Hello MainlyTwelve, and thanks for patrolling new pages! I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Corey Chorus, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: article contains an assertion of importance sufficient to pass the A7 test. You may wish to review the Criteria for Speedy Deletion before tagging further pages. Thank you. Ϣere SpielChequers 06:07, 18 June 2017 (UTC)

---|---|
On the last Sunday of every month, the Boardroom at Ace Hotel New York hosts Action Equals History — a unique opportunity for New Yorkers to learn hands-on in a technology training/workshop session about the mechanics, practices and benefits of Wikipedia and the Wikimedia projects. This is an opportunity for all to gather, share and work collectively towards a more robust account of history. For this month, we'll focus on Wikipedia casual editing, ways to use and develop Wikidata, building better edit-a-thon tools for a variety of different thematic campaigns, and user-testing them with the community. Towards a goal of advancing these tools for wider use with diverse local groups.
Newcomers are very welcome! Bring your friends and colleagues! -- Pharos ( talk) 14:21, 24 July 2017 (UTC) |

@ MainlyTwelve:, on Todd Carmichael's page, there are no registered COI's on Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons/Noticeboard [1] or on Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest/Noticeboard [2] associated with this article. Per Wikipedia:Plain_and_simple_conflict_of_interest_guide: You may have information I do not. However, with the lack of sourcing, notifications on either of the above boards, and no COI noted on any active user page previous to your January 2016 edit for the editor(s) previous to January 2016, I can not support the addition of this tag. Please add supporting material. If supporting material is not provided, tag will be removed again. I have no association with this page or anyone mentioned in it. Your editing statements have the appearance of unknown source material or a personal grudge. I do not know which is true. I am trying to help you maintain the the appearance of impartiality. MainlyTwelve, you were incorrect in your statement, "...COI disclosure not required for this tag". Please see Template:COI. You failed to open a discussion on the "Talk page". If you do have private information, I'd be happy to have an arbitrator review it per WP:OUTING. If the information is public, and I missed the fact in reviewing active users and the COI and BOLP noticeboards, I'd be happy to discuss that.
When to use Use this tag to alert readers that the article may be biased by a conflict of interest, and to request help with an article that is biased or has other serious problems as a direct result of the editing done by the subject of the article or by a person with a close connection to the subject (e.g., public relations employees). Do not use this tag unless there are significant or substantial problems with the article's neutrality as a result of the contributor's involvement. Like the other tags, this tag is not meant to be a badge of shame or to "warn the reader" about the identities of the editors. Do not use this tag if you can quickly solve the problem, e.g., by removing peacocking and puffery or by reverting the blanking of well-sourced criticism. Do not use this tag to notify readers that an article appears to be partially or wholly autobiographical. If this is the case, please use the more-specific autobiography tag.
Like the other neutrality-related tags, if you place this tag, you should promptly start a discussion on the article's talk page to explain what is non-neutral about the article. If you do not start this discussion, then any editor is justified in removing the tag without warning. Be careful not to violate the policy against WP:OUTING users who have not publicly self-disclosed their identities on the English Wikipedia. Note: COI is an abbreviation for Conflict Of Interest, see WP:COI. Do not use the Conflict of interest template, which is a navigation box.
When to remove
This tag may be removed by editors who do not have a conflict of interest after the problem is resolved, if the problem is not explained on the article's talk page, and/or if no current attempts to resolve the problem can be found.

Hey! I noticed you reviewed the page [[UCSF Library]. Thank you so much for that. I have a question, since you are authorized to review pages.

Thanks for the move/review of Vegetarian and vegan symbolism! Just FYI, I meant to put it at Talk: Vegan/Vegetarian and vegan symbolism as a subpage for a few editors to review as part of a cleanup/merge/redirect/content fork process, which you can read about at Talk:Veganism#Proposed_merge_with_Vegan_symbolism if you didn't already. But it shouldn't be a big deal, and it doesn't seem like any of this is controversial, so it should be fine. Sorry, and thanks! FourViolas ( talk) 02:33, 7 August 2017 (UTC)

Hello MainlyTwelve,
I noticed you marked an article as a
stub using the {{
stub}}
template. Did you know that there are thousands of stub types that you can use to clarify what type of stub the article is? Properly categorizing stubs is important to the
Wikipedia community because it helps various
WikiProjects to identify articles that need expansion.
If you have questions about stub sorting, don't hesitate to ask! There is a wealth of stub information on the stub sorting WikiProject, and hundreds of stub sorters. Thanks! Elliot321 ( talk) 12:38, 25 August 2017 (UTC)

The Wikipedia Asian Month Edit-a-thon @ The Met will be the Metropolitan Museum of Art's second edit-a-thon, hosted on Sunday November 19, 2017 in the Bonnie Sacerdote Classroom, Ruth and Harold D. Uris Center for Education (81st Street entrance) at The Met Fifth Avenue in New York City. Following the first Met edit-a-thon in May 2017, the museum is excited to work with Wikipedia Asian Month for the potential to seed new articles about Asian artworks, artwork types, and art traditions, from any part of Asia. These can be illustrated with thousands of its recently-released images of public domain artworks available for Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons from the museum’s collection spanning 5,000 years of art. The event is an opportunity for Wikimedia communities to engage The Met's diverse Asian collections onsite and remotely.
Attendees should bring their own laptops and power cords. Light snacks, drinks and cake will be provided. We also welcome remote participation for the global online Wikipedia Asian Art Month, running November 1-30. Thanks, and hope to see you at the museum, and/or as part of the online Wikipedia Asian Month contest!-- Pharos ( talk) 16:36, 1 November 2017 (UTC) |

Hello MainlyTwelve. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Andy Karsner, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: held national office. Also, if an experienced editor accepted an AFC draft, deletion can never be expected to be uncontroversial enough for speedy deletion. Thank you. So Why 17:15, 22 February 2018 (UTC)
Hello, can you please review this new article?-- Joseph 14:34, 24 February 2018 (UTC)
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Bryn Mawr Trust, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.
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 deleted 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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. scope_creep ( talk) 06:28, 1 March 2018 (UTC)
Hello, I'm Deb. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a " soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective.

Hey, thanks for creating the articles on the Arizona, Oklahoma and West Virginia teacher strikes. Since these all appear to be part of the same phenomenon I started a stub here. Also, we could use an article on the Kentucky strike (I know, I'm asking you to do more great work) and probably on the one that's upcoming in Colorado.
Again, thanks! Volunteer Marek ( talk) 00:30, 24 April 2018 (UTC)

Hello MainlyTwelve, 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 do not agree with the fact that my page will soon be deleted. Let it be. I believe that it is important. People have approached me and asked me to create a page so they can cite sources for projects and so they can use it for general knowledge. I also plan to add more to this page. I have many, many followers and believe that this is a beneficial page to Wikipedia because it provides information about a topic that some people find important. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Salmarano ( talk • contribs) 15:24, 27 November 2018 (UTC)

Hello MainlyTwelve,
This year's award for the Reviewer of the Year goes to Onel5969. Around on Wikipedia since 2011, their staggering number of 26,554 reviews over the past twelve months makes them, together with an additional total of 275,285 edits, one of Wikipedia's most prolific users.
See also the list of top 100 reviewers.
The backlog is now approaching 5,000, and still rising. There are around 640 holders of the NPR flag, most of whom appear to be inactive. The 10% of the reviewers who do 90% of the work could do with some support especially as some of them are now taking a well deserved break.
At #1 position, the Community Wishlist poll closed on 3 December with a resounding success for NPP, reminding the WMF and the volunteer communities just how critical NPP is to maintaining a clean encyclopedia and the need for improved tools to do it. A big 'thank you' to everyone who supported the NPP proposals. See the results.
Due to a number of changes having been made to the feed since this three-minute video was created, we have been asked by the WMF for feedback on the video with a view to getting it brought up to date to reflect the new features of the system. Please leave your comments here, particularly mentioning how helpful you find it for new reviewers.

Another editor had reviewed the image I used for Bruenig's page and marked it for deletion. It's the first time I upload an image and I might have chosen the wrong options.

Hi,
Why did you rollback my edit? That page does not meet G1. Adam9007 ( talk) 22:11, 6 June 2017 (UTC)
I recently removed a speedy delete tag that you had placed on Elemental Dragon. I do not think that Elemental Dragon fits any of the speedy deletion criteria because This page is clearly not Patent Nonsense (please reread WP:CSD#G1). Indeed few pages ever are. Nor is it CLEARLY made up by the poster. In fact it reads like an except from the monster list of an RPG (one of the many D&D variants perhaps), or perhaps of a video game. As such it could possibly be notable with contexgt and sources, although probably not. But it isn't a speedy deletion candidate.. I request that you consider not re-tagging Elemental Dragon for speedy deletion without discussing the matter on the appropriate talk page. DES (talk) DESiegel Contribs 03:46, 7 June 2017 (UTC)
Hi, I don't understand how your edit] on this (and other) talk pages is helpful. Just slapping a WikiProject on a page, without any ratings, looks unprofessional. As it is, I was just preparing the ratings before you stepped in. In future, you might want to flesh out your edits with "class" and "importance". These parameters for a biography are also helpful.

The article Jessica Watkins has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your
edit summary or on
the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the
proposed deletion process, but other
deletion processes exist. In particular, the
speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and
articles for deletion allows discussion to reach
consensus for deletion.
Hello MainlyTwelve, and thanks for patrolling new pages! I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Corey Chorus, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: article contains an assertion of importance sufficient to pass the A7 test. You may wish to review the Criteria for Speedy Deletion before tagging further pages. Thank you. Ϣere SpielChequers 06:07, 18 June 2017 (UTC)

Sunday July 30: Action=History Wiki-Hackathon @ Ace Hotel | |
---|---|
On the last Sunday of every month, the Boardroom at Ace Hotel New York hosts Action Equals History — a unique opportunity for New Yorkers to learn hands-on in a technology training/workshop session about the mechanics, practices and benefits of Wikipedia and the Wikimedia projects. This is an opportunity for all to gather, share and work collectively towards a more robust account of history. For this month, we'll focus on Wikipedia casual editing, ways to use and develop Wikidata, building better edit-a-thon tools for a variety of different thematic campaigns, and user-testing them with the community. Towards a goal of advancing these tools for wider use with diverse local groups.
Newcomers are very welcome! Bring your friends and colleagues! -- Pharos ( talk) 14:21, 24 July 2017 (UTC) |

@ MainlyTwelve:, on Todd Carmichael's page, there are no registered COI's on Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons/Noticeboard [1] or on Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest/Noticeboard [2] associated with this article. Per Wikipedia:Plain_and_simple_conflict_of_interest_guide: You may have information I do not. However, with the lack of sourcing, notifications on either of the above boards, and no COI noted on any active user page previous to your January 2016 edit for the editor(s) previous to January 2016, I can not support the addition of this tag. Please add supporting material. If supporting material is not provided, tag will be removed again. I have no association with this page or anyone mentioned in it. Your editing statements have the appearance of unknown source material or a personal grudge. I do not know which is true. I am trying to help you maintain the the appearance of impartiality. MainlyTwelve, you were incorrect in your statement, "...COI disclosure not required for this tag". Please see Template:COI. You failed to open a discussion on the "Talk page". If you do have private information, I'd be happy to have an arbitrator review it per WP:OUTING. If the information is public, and I missed the fact in reviewing active users and the COI and BOLP noticeboards, I'd be happy to discuss that.
When to use Use this tag to alert readers that the article may be biased by a conflict of interest, and to request help with an article that is biased or has other serious problems as a direct result of the editing done by the subject of the article or by a person with a close connection to the subject (e.g., public relations employees). Do not use this tag unless there are significant or substantial problems with the article's neutrality as a result of the contributor's involvement. Like the other tags, this tag is not meant to be a badge of shame or to "warn the reader" about the identities of the editors. Do not use this tag if you can quickly solve the problem, e.g., by removing peacocking and puffery or by reverting the blanking of well-sourced criticism. Do not use this tag to notify readers that an article appears to be partially or wholly autobiographical. If this is the case, please use the more-specific autobiography tag.
Like the other neutrality-related tags, if you place this tag, you should promptly start a discussion on the article's talk page to explain what is non-neutral about the article. If you do not start this discussion, then any editor is justified in removing the tag without warning. Be careful not to violate the policy against WP:OUTING users who have not publicly self-disclosed their identities on the English Wikipedia. Note: COI is an abbreviation for Conflict Of Interest, see WP:COI. Do not use the Conflict of interest template, which is a navigation box.
When to remove
This tag may be removed by editors who do not have a conflict of interest after the problem is resolved, if the problem is not explained on the article's talk page, and/or if no current attempts to resolve the problem can be found.

Hey! I noticed you reviewed the page [[UCSF Library]. Thank you so much for that. I have a question, since you are authorized to review pages. The page Hugh Toland has not been reviewed, and I do not know why, since I do not know how the reviewing process works. COuld you give it a look? Thanks again!

Thank you. It must have been overlooked. Are there any negative effects of having a page not reviewed? Because also UCSF Mission Bay campus, UCSF school of Pharmacy, and UCSF Betty Irene Moore Women’s Hospital have not been reviewed. Eccekevin ( talk) 21:00, 27 July 2017 (UTC)
Thanks for the move/review of Vegetarian and vegan symbolism! Just FYI, I meant to put it at Talk: Vegan/Vegetarian and vegan symbolism as a subpage for a few editors to review as part of a cleanup/merge/redirect/content fork process, which you can read about at Talk:Veganism#Proposed_merge_with_Vegan_symbolism if you didn't already. But it shouldn't be a big deal, and it doesn't seem like any of this is controversial, so it should be fine. Sorry, and thanks! FourViolas ( talk) 02:33, 7 August 2017 (UTC)

Hello MainlyTwelve,
I noticed you marked an article as a
stub using the {{
stub}}
template. Did you know that there are thousands of stub types that you can use to clarify what type of stub the article is? Properly categorizing stubs is important to the
Wikipedia community because it helps various
WikiProjects to identify articles that need expansion.
If you have questions about stub sorting, don't hesitate to ask! There is a wealth of stub information on the stub sorting WikiProject, and hundreds of stub sorters. Thanks! Elliot321 ( talk) 12:38, 25 August 2017 (UTC)

The Wikipedia Asian Month Edit-a-thon @ The Met will be the Metropolitan Museum of Art's second edit-a-thon, hosted on Sunday November 19, 2017 in the Bonnie Sacerdote Classroom, Ruth and Harold D. Uris Center for Education (81st Street entrance) at The Met Fifth Avenue in New York City. Following the first Met edit-a-thon in May 2017, the museum is excited to work with Wikipedia Asian Month for the potential to seed new articles about Asian artworks, artwork types, and art traditions, from any part of Asia. These can be illustrated with thousands of its recently-released images of public domain artworks available for Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons from the museum’s collection spanning 5,000 years of art. The event is an opportunity for Wikimedia communities to engage The Met's diverse Asian collections onsite and remotely.
Attendees should bring their own laptops and power cords. Light snacks, drinks and cake will be provided. We also welcome remote participation for the global online Wikipedia Asian Art Month, running November 1-30. Thanks, and hope to see you at the museum, and/or as part of the online Wikipedia Asian Month contest!-- Pharos ( talk) 16:36, 1 November 2017 (UTC) |

Thanks for uploading File:Logo of Shake Shack.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Hello MainlyTwelve. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Andy Karsner, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: held national office. Also, if an experienced editor accepted an AFC draft, deletion can never be expected to be uncontroversial enough for speedy deletion. Thank you. So Why 17:15, 22 February 2018 (UTC)
Hello, can you please review this new article?-- Joseph 14:34, 24 February 2018 (UTC)
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Bryn Mawr Trust, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.
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 deleted 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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. scope_creep ( talk) 06:28, 1 March 2018 (UTC)
Hello, I'm Deb. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a " soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. If you want to recreate the article without the promotional content, you are free to do so.

Hey, thanks for creating the articles on the Arizona, Oklahoma and West Virginia teacher strikes. Since these all appear to be part of the same phenomenon I started a stub here.

Hello MainlyTwelve, 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.

Hello MainlyTwelve, 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.

I do not agree with the fact that my page will soon be deleted. Let it be. I believe that it is important. People have approached me and asked me to create a page so they can cite sources for projects and so they can use it for general knowledge. I also plan to add more to this page. I have many, many followers and believe that this is a beneficial page to Wikipedia because it provides information about a topic that some people find important. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Salmarano ( talk • contribs) 15:24, 27 November 2018 (UTC)

Hello MainlyTwelve,
This year's award for the Reviewer of the Year goes to Onel5969. Around on Wikipedia since 2011, their staggering number of 26,554 reviews over the past twelve months makes them, together with an additional total of 275,285 edits, one of Wikipedia's most prolific users.
See also the list of top 100 reviewers.
The backlog is now approaching 5,000, and still rising. There are around 640 holders of the NPR flag, most of whom appear to be inactive. The 10% of the reviewers who do 90% of the work could do with some support especially as some of them are now taking a well deserved break.
At #1 position, the Community Wishlist poll closed on 3 December with a resounding success for NPP, reminding the WMF and the volunteer communities just how critical NPP is to maintaining a clean encyclopedia and the need for improved tools to do it. A big 'thank you' to everyone who supported the NPP proposals. See the results.
Due to a number of changes having been made to the feed since this three-minute video was created, we have been asked by the WMF for feedback on the video with a view to getting it brought up to date to reflect the new features of the system. Please leave your comments here, particularly mentioning how helpful you find it for new reviewers.

Hi MainlyTwelve, thanks for reviewing Elizabeth Bruenig's page and leaving a message on my talk page. I appreciate your kind words. Another editor had reviewed the image I used for Bruenig's page and marked it for deletion. It's the first time I upload an image and I might have chosen the wrong options.
