Hello, you had tagged this school for speedy deletion as A7; I regret to say that I removed the A7 tag, as that criterion specifically excludes educational institutions. I suspect the odds are decent it wouldn't survive a PROD or AfD and I might even later tag it with one of those if you don't do it first. Best wishes 331dot ( talk) 10:26, 11 September 2016 (UTC)

Hello there! This is to let you know that I've removed the CSD tag which you have added to the Mitter Sain Meet article. There is a clear mention in the article that the subject has won a Sahitya Akademi award in 2008 which in itself is an "indication of importance". Please be advised that the CSD A7 criterion does not apply to any article that makes any credible claim of significance or importance even if the claim is not supported by a reliable source or does not qualify on Wikipedia's notability guidelines. However, in this article there is a reference to support the claim. You are free to use other deletion venues if you still think that the article meets deletion criteria. Thanks!

I just wanted to let you know that manual tagging X1's is often unnecessary. @ Tavix:, or another administrator will go through those lists on a somewhat regular basis and process them all at once, and tagging them individually typically is a waste of your time and harder on the deleting admin. It also clogs up the speedy noms category, obscuring pages that really do need to be deleted quickly.

I've declined the speedy, as it looks like one of Neelix's more sensible redirects. Quite a few of his are actually sound - which is why they're not being nuked. If the target contains the redirect's title as something featured or reasonably well referred to, then the redirect is OK and it shouldn't be tagged. Peridon ( talk) 19:09, 8 October 2016 (UTC)

Yeah, apparently you're not allowed to nominate other editors for the ORCP. I thought you would be a pretty good admin, but it was closed pretty quick because you can't have a third party nominator. So it's kind of awkward now because I was going to notify you after some time went by, to prevent a 'bias', for lack of a better word. Looking back on it, it was a pretty stupid idea, hehe. It's pretty awkward now, so I'll just end here. See you around. UN$¢_Łuke_1Ø21 Repørts 16:36, 19 December 2016 (UTC)

The Editor of the Week initiative has been recognizing editors since 2013 for their hard work and dedication. Editing Wikipedia can be disheartening and tedious at times; the weekly Editor of the Week award lets its recipients know that their positive behaviour and collaborative spirit is appreciated. The response from the honorees has been enthusiastic and thankful.
The list of nominees is running short, and so new nominations are needed for consideration. Have you come across someone in your editing circle who deserves a pat on the back for improving article prose regularly, making it easier to understand? Or perhaps someone has stepped in to mediate a contentious dispute, and did an excellent job. Do you know someone who hasn't received many accolades and is deserving of greater renown? Is there an editor who does lots of little tasks well, such as cleaning up citations?
Please help us thank editors who display sustained patterns of excellence, working tirelessly in the background out of the spotlight, by submitting your nomination for Editor of the Week today!
In addition, the WikiProject is seeking a new facilitator/coordinator to handle the logistics of the award. Please contact L235 if you are interested in helping with the logistics of running the award in any capacity. Remove your name from here to unsubscribe from further EotW-related messages.

Hello Patient Zero.

User PROD or AFD instead. Thank you. So Why 20:36, 20 January 2017 (UTC)
Hello Patient Zero. 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. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง ( talk) 05:34, 21 January 2017 (UTC)

We now have 803 New Page Reviewers!
Most of us requested the user right at
PERM, expressing a wish to be able to do something about the huge backlog, but the chart on the right does not demonstrate any changes to the pre-user-right levels of October.
The backlog is still steadily growing at a rate of 150 a day or 4,650 a month. Only 20 reviews a day by each reviewer over the next few days would bring the backlog down to a managable level and the daily input can then be processed by each reviewer doing only 2 or 3 reviews a day - that's about 5 minutes work!
It didn't work in time to relax for the Xmas/New Year holidays. Let's see if we can achieve our goal before Easter, otherwise by Thanksgiving it will be closer to 70,000.
Remember that we are the only guardians of quality of new articles, we alone have to ensure that pages are being correctly tagged by non-Reviewer patrollers and that new authors are not being bitten.
This is even more important and extra vigilance is required considering Orangemoody, and
Kudpung is stepping down after 6 years as unofficial coordinator of New Page Patrolling/Reviewing. There is enough work for two people and two coords are now required. Details are at NPR Coordinators; nominate someone or nominate yourself. Date for the actual suffrage will be published later.

I've let a lot of similar !votes go without comment so sorry for picking on you. I'm not even sure why really; maybe just curiosity. Is there some reason you think someone needs a particular level of activity to be successful at RfA? Is there some harm in someone having the bit and not being up to a certain level of activity? I mean, obviously if someone doesn't use it for years that's a problem, but I hope it's clear I'm not in that basket. You don't seem to give any reason other than, to paraphrase, "Other RfA candidates are more active."
I'm not here to try to change your mind; I'm just curious. GoldenRing ( talk) 11:04, 6 April 2017 (UTC)

In a recent edit to the page Emmanuel Macron, you changed one or more words or styles from one national variety of English to another. Because Wikipedia has readers from all over the world, our policy is to respect national varieties of English in Wikipedia articles.
For a subject exclusively related to the United Kingdom (for example, a famous British person), use British English. For something related to the United States in the same way, use American English. For something related to India, use Indian English. For something related to another English-speaking country, such as Canada, Australia, or New Zealand, use the variety of English used there. For an international topic, use the form of English that the original author of the article used.
In view of that, please don't change articles from one version of English to another, even if you don't normally use the version in which the article is written. Respect other people's versions of English. They, in turn, should respect yours. Other general guidelines on how Wikipedia articles are written can be found in the Manual of Style. If you have any questions about this, you can ask me on my talk page or visit the help desk. Thank you. AusLondonder ( talk) 00:02, 6 May 2017 (UTC)
Since rolling out the right in November, just 6 months ago, we now have 803 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.
Stay up to date with recent new page developments and have your say, read THIS PAGE.

Hello, you had tagged this school for speedy deletion as A7; I regret to say that I removed the A7 tag, as that criterion specifically excludes educational institutions. I suspect the odds are decent it wouldn't survive a PROD or AfD and I might even later tag it with one of those if you don't do it first. Best wishes 331dot ( talk) 10:26, 11 September 2016 (UTC)

Hello there! This is to let you know that I've removed the CSD tag which you have added to the Mitter Sain Meet article. There is a clear mention in the article that the subject has won a Sahitya Akademi award in 2008 which in itself is an "indication of importance". Please be advised that the CSD A7 criterion does not apply to any article that makes any credible claim of significance or importance even if the claim is not supported by a reliable source or does not qualify on Wikipedia's notability guidelines. However, in this article there is a reference to support the claim. You are free to use other deletion venues if you still think that the article meets deletion criteria. Thanks!

I just wanted to let you know that manual tagging X1's is often unnecessary. @ Tavix:, or another administrator will go through those lists on a somewhat regular basis and process them all at once, and tagging them individually typically is a waste of your time and harder on the deleting admin. It also clogs up the speedy noms category, obscuring pages that really do need to be deleted quickly.

I've declined the speedy, as it looks like one of Neelix's more sensible redirects. Quite a few of his are actually sound - which is why they're not being nuked. If the target contains the redirect's title as something featured or reasonably well referred to, then the redirect is OK and it shouldn't be tagged. Peridon ( talk) 19:09, 8 October 2016 (UTC)

Yeah, apparently you're not allowed to nominate other editors for the ORCP. I thought you would be a pretty good admin, but it was closed pretty quick because you can't have a third party nominator. So it's kind of awkward now because I was going to notify you after some time went by, to prevent a 'bias', for lack of a better word. Looking back on it, it was a pretty stupid idea, hehe.

The Editor of the Week initiative has been recognizing editors since 2013 for their hard work and dedication. Editing Wikipedia can be disheartening and tedious at times; the weekly Editor of the Week award lets its recipients know that their positive behaviour and collaborative spirit is appreciated. The response from the honorees has been enthusiastic and thankful.
The list of nominees is running short, and so new nominations are needed for consideration. Have you come across someone in your editing circle who deserves a pat on the back for improving article prose regularly, making it easier to understand? Or perhaps someone has stepped in to mediate a contentious dispute, and did an excellent job. Do you know someone who hasn't received many accolades and is deserving of greater renown? Is there an editor who does lots of little tasks well, such as cleaning up citations?
Please help us thank editors who display sustained patterns of excellence, working tirelessly in the background out of the spotlight, by submitting your nomination for Editor of the Week today!
In addition, the WikiProject is seeking a new facilitator/coordinator to handle the logistics of the award. Please contact L235 if you are interested in helping with the logistics of running the award in any capacity. Remove your name from here to unsubscribe from further EotW-related messages.

Hello Patient Zero.

User PROD or AFD instead. Thank you. So Why 20:36, 20 January 2017 (UTC)
Hello Patient Zero. 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. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง ( talk) 05:34, 21 January 2017 (UTC)

We now have 803 New Page Reviewers!
Most of us requested the user right at
PERM, expressing a wish to be able to do something about the huge backlog, but the chart on the right does not demonstrate any changes to the pre-user-right levels of October.
The backlog is still steadily growing at a rate of 150 a day or 4,650 a month. Only 20 reviews a day by each reviewer over the next few days would bring the backlog down to a managable level and the daily input can then be processed by each reviewer doing only 2 or 3 reviews a day - that's about 5 minutes work!
It didn't work in time to relax for the Xmas/New Year holidays. Let's see if we can achieve our goal before Easter, otherwise by Thanksgiving it will be closer to 70,000.
Remember that we are the only guardians of quality of new articles, we alone have to ensure that pages are being correctly tagged by non-Reviewer patrollers and that new authors are not being bitten.
This is even more important and extra vigilance is required considering Orangemoody, and
Kudpung is stepping down after 6 years as unofficial coordinator of New Page Patrolling/Reviewing. There is enough work for two people and two coords are now required. Details are at NPR Coordinators; nominate someone or nominate yourself. Date for the actual suffrage will be published later.

You accidentally added your user page and not your user talk page to the list. I have fixed it. — MRD2014 ( talk • contribs) 21:50, 9 February 2017 (UTC)
Hi mate, I noticed you've tagged your user page for speedy deletion and one of your edit summaries said "bye". I hope you're not leaving and will come back soon? Class455 ( talk| stand clear of the doors!) 10:01, 27 February 2017 (UTC)

Are you there, please let us sort it out ...Please don't take it personally, I did not say you are 'rude', I just said 'crude' meaning u were judgemental for my page Dr Rajlakshmi SJ being self promotional, just because you prima facie felt so.

Your last chance to nominate yourself or any New Page Reviewer, See Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Coordination. Elections begin Monday 20 February 23:59 UTC. MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 08:17, 19 February 2017 (UTC)
Voting for coordinators has now begun HERE and will continue through/to 23:59 UTC Monday 06 March. Please be sure to vote. Any registered, confirmed editor can vote. Nominations are now closed.
We now have 803 New Page Reviewers but despite numerous appeals for help, the backlog has NOT been significantly reduced.
If you asked for the New Page Reviewer right, please consider investing a bit of time - every little helps preventing spam and trash entering the mainspace and Google when the 'NO_INDEX' tags expire.

SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!
Note: All columns in this table are sortable, allowing you to rearrange the table so the articles most interesting to you are shown at the top. All images have mouse-over popups with more information. For more information about the columns and categories, please consult the documentation and please get in touch on SuggestBot's talk page with any questions you might have.
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better — thanks for helping.
If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from Nettrom ( talk), SuggestBot's caretaker. -- SuggestBot ( talk) 12:19, 15 March 2017 (UTC)

I've let a lot of similar !votes go without comment so sorry for picking on you. I'm not even sure why really; maybe just curiosity. Is there some reason you think someone needs a particular level of activity to be successful at RfA? Is there some harm in someone having the bit and not being up to a certain level of activity? I mean, obviously if someone doesn't use it for years that's a problem, but I hope it's clear I'm not in that basket. You don't seem to give any reason other than, to paraphrase, "Other RfA candidates are more active."
I'm not here to try to change your mind; I'm just curious. GoldenRing ( talk) 11:04, 6 April 2017 (UTC)

In a recent edit to the page Emmanuel Macron, you changed one or more words or styles from one national variety of English to another. Because Wikipedia has readers from all over the world, our policy is to respect national varieties of English in Wikipedia articles.
For a subject exclusively related to the United Kingdom (for example, a famous British person), use British English. For something related to the United States in the same way, use American English. For something related to India, use Indian English. For something related to another English-speaking country, such as Canada, Australia, or New Zealand, use the variety of English used there. For an international topic, use the form of English that the original author of the article used.
In view of that, please don't change articles from one version of English to another, even if you don't normally use the version in which the article is written. Respect other people's versions of English. They, in turn, should respect yours. Other general guidelines on how Wikipedia articles are written can be found in the Manual of Style. If you have any questions about this, you can ask me on my talk page or visit the help desk. Thank you. AusLondonder ( talk) 00:02, 6 May 2017 (UTC)
Since rolling out the right in November, just 6 months ago, we now have 803 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.
Stay up to date with recent new page developments and have your say, read THIS PAGE.
