Hello, I'm Toddst1. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, November 21, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Hi there! I’m sorry if I seemed a bit short regarding reverting that edit. I myself attempted to create an ancestry section complete with info and a tree multiple times previously, but was repeatedly told it was unnecessary. I was just following the consensus. I personally agree with you that there should be an ancestry section. I suppose the article’s talk place would be a good place to find what the current consensus is. Thanks :) Mesmeilleurs ( talk) 17:26, 8 May 2019 (UTC)

On the page Arnold Thackray, I have been in a content dispute, however, the other editor ( Lipien) is not responding on their talk page. I would like to get the dispute solved quickly as the edits on the page are very significant. I also believe they have another account (I don't think a Sockpuppet) they used to do an edit. There might be a third account involved but that might need reviewing. The edits made make the page inconsistent with all other biographies of living people and I believe it may be violating WP:NPOV.
I would like to take this to the content dispute page, however the article has not been discussed, so I cannot proceed.

I am trying to contact Willb234 to discuss why he undid the additions to Arnold Thackray's bio made on 14 June, in which I listed provided a complete list of organizations that Arnold Thackray played a key role in establishing, as referenced. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.94.89.104 ( talk) 20:53, 19 June 2019 (UTC)
I am trying to establish why the edits I made on 14 June to Arnold Thackray's bio warranted deletion. I added information that is referenced to the opening paragraph. One may find similar paragraphs at other bios on Wikipedia. Lipen. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.94.89.104 ( talk) 22:49, 19 June 2019 (UTC)
First of all, I have made any and all edits or contributions to Wikipedia exclusively as Lipien. So I don't know on what basis you can accuse me of 'sock puppetry,' which I had to look up to find out what it is. Secondly, the last edits made to ARnold Thackray only augmented the information that already existed in the introductory paragraph, which already noted two organizations that he had founded. I added to that list to make it complete. Your explanation for the deletion was hardly justified, as the sentences I wrote were quite understandable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lipien ( talk • contribs) 23:14, 19 June 2019 (UTC)

I know that Arnold Thackray was born in Manchester, England, but because that information hasn't been published elsewhere, it should be kept from readers of Wikipedia? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lipien ( talk • contribs) 23:44, 19 June 2019 (UTC)

I wait for your reply to my question. I had added that ARnold Thackray was born in Manchester because I know that he was born there. It is somewhat common knowledge among historians of science of Thackray's generation, since people know each other. Why should Thackray's birthplace remain a secret for Wikipedia readers. What is your motivation? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lipien ( talk • contribs) 23:36, 21 June 2019 (UTC)

Hello. You left a message on my talk page regarding NPOV. I understand that and I think that you may be mistaken because I was not the one who added that the final was thrilling. I merely added the content above it and corrected the grammar a bit. Just because I was the recent editor of the that paragraph does not mean that I wrote the non-neutral part. I think if you would like to check the history and compare revisions, you may find out what I added and who added the non-neutral part because maybe you would want to inform the real user who added that.

WP:PERM in case your user right is time limited or probationary. This user group allows you to review new pages through the Curation system and mark them as
patrolled, tag them for maintenance issues, or nominate them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at the
New Pages Feed. New page reviewing is vital to maintaining the integrity of the encylopedia. If you have not already done so, you must read the tutorial at
New Pages Review, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the
deletion policy. If you need any help or want to discuss the process, you are welcome to use the
new page reviewer talk page. In addition, please remember:
The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you also may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. In cases of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, or long-term inactivity, the right may be withdrawn at administrator discretion. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง ( talk) 19:58, 1 August 2019 (UTC)

Hi Will, I really need some guidance here. I’m at my wits end. An anonymous user keeps adding his name to the list of my late father’s children. At first I was intrigued. I wanted DNA verification through ancestry or 23/me. Two years later and this person has yet to provide DNA proof and now admits he is not a match. Yet he (or someone) keeps adding his name and I keep taking it off. I need help. Can I protect my father’s Wikipedia page until proper verification of this person’s identity is actually received? Ccroskery ( talk) 04:21, 3 September 2019 (UTC)
Ps. They got me. And I admit I lost my temper. After editing off his name for about the 10th time, i used harsh language in my “reason for editing” comments box. Now I can’t take the word out. Sorry. I just want my dad’s life and memory not to be played with. If this guy can prove he’s my dad’s offspring then he has a right to be listed. But otherwise NOT! Please help. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ccroskery ( talk • contribs) 04:57, 3 September 2019 (UTC)
Typically the number of children (e.g., 3); only list names of independently notable or particularly relevant children. For multiple entries, use an inline list. For privacy reasons, consider omitting the names of living children, unless notable.
@ Willbb234: Hi Will, I am not sure I am replying correctly so forgive me if I’m not. Im trying to learn this process.
I appreciate your time in looking over this dispute. It may take a few days but the name Mark Croskery will reappear. For two years an anonymous user keeps changing my father’s article. Must we wait until it happens again in order to protect the article?
The only children of Danny Dark who can be found in published articles, books, or gallery exhibitions in their own right (notable) are Sydney Croskery (artist) and myself, Caroline Croskery (translator). Regardless, I would happy if you took all offspring off of his page.
How are the spouses verified? The man who claims to be my father’s son but admits the dna doesn’t match, has been editing my father’s article to include his mother’s supposed marriage to my father. My father’s will explicitly denies any such marriage and my in-depth research has not uncovered this marriage either. So I believe that the claim of Daniel Melville Croskery’s marriage to Judith Ann Freeman is erroneous and has yet to be verified, as well as Mark Croskery’s claim to be Danny Dark’s son.
Lastly, if you would, please remove all offspring and protect his article if you could. Thank you! Ccroskery ( talk) 17:53, 3 September 2019 (UTC)
Thank you for pointing out how technical this page is. Wikipedia is indeed a place where people with PhDs go to learn about their own field, and so that is why we included so much information. We tried to have the first paragraph be more approachable/general, and then followed with details for the interested reader. Please note that Dynamic Network Connectivity is completely different from Dynamic Functional Connectivity. Wikipedia is so good about disambiguating these situations, so I was hoping it would be ok Thanks!

Hello Willbb234,
Instead of reaching a magic 300 as it once did last year, the backlog approaching 6,000 is still far too high. An effort is also needed to ensure that older unsuitable older pages at the back of the queue do not get automatically indexed for Google.
A proposal is taking place here to confirm a nominated user as Coordinator of NPR.
Why I Hate Speedy Deleters, a 2008 essay by long since retired Ballonman, is still as valid today. Those of us who patrol large numbers of new pages can be forgiven for making the occasional mistake while others can learn from their 'beginner' errors. Worth reading.
Do bear in mind that articles in the feed showing the trash can icon (you will need to have 'Nominated for deletion' enabled for this in your filters) may have been tagged by inexperienced or non NPR rights holders using Twinkle. They require your further verification.
Please be sure to look for the tell-tale signs of undisclosed paid editing. Contact the creator if appropriate, and submit the issue to WP:COIN if necessary. WMF policy requires paid editors to connect to their adverts.
Regular reviewers will appreciate the most recent enhancements to the New Pages Feed and features in the Curation tool, and there are still more to come. Due to the wealth of information now displayed by ORES, reviewers are strongly encouraged to use the system now rather than Twinkle; it will also correctly populate the logs.
Stub sorting, by SD0001: A new script is available for adding/removing stub tags. See User:SD0001/StubSorter.js, It features a simple HotCat-style dynamic search field. Many of the reviewers who are using it are finding it an improvement upon other available tools.
Assessment: The script at User:Evad37/rater makes the addition of Wikiproject templates extremely easy. New page creators rarely do this. Reviewers are not obliged to make these edits but they only take a few seconds. They can use the Curation message system to let the creator know what they have done.

Hey. I know we've already spoken on the edit request on this talk page but if you could take the time to review the request today, that would be a massive help. The entirety of the proposed changes are here in this draft, so it would just involve looking through the points laid out in the request and copying the code if everything's good (the draft has been divided into sections on the request). All the back and forth with other editors has caused massive delays and the two-week wait has frustrated my client; I know that isn't your problem but any action to finally get the changes implemented would be greatly appreciated.

Guild of Copy Editors September 2019 Newsletter
Hello and welcome to the September newsletter, a brief update of Guild activities since June 2019. June election: Reidgreg was chosen as lead coordinator, and is being assisted by Baffle gab1978, Miniapolis, Tdslk, and first-time coordinator Twofingered Typist. Jonesey95 took a respite after serving for six years. Thanks to everyone who participated! June Blitz: From 16 to 22 June, we copy edited articles on the themes of nature and the environment along with requests. 12 participating editors completed 35 copy edits. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here. July Drive: The year's fourth backlog-elimination drive was a great success, clearing all articles tagged in January and February, and bringing the copy-editing backlog to a low of five months and a record low of 585 articles while also completing 48 requests. Of the 30 people who signed up, 29 copyedited at least one article, a participation level last matched in May 2015. Final results and awards are listed here. August Blitz: From 18 to 24 August, we copy edited articles tagged in March 2019 and requests. 12 participating editors completed 26 copy edits on the blitz. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here. Progress report: As of 03:00, 23 September 2019 (UTC), GOCE copyeditors had processed 413 requests since 1 January. The backlog of tagged articles stood at 599 articles, close to our record month-end low of 585. Requests page: We are experimenting with automated archiving of copy edit requests; a discussion on REQ Talk (permalinked) initiated by Bobbychan193 has resulted in Zhuyifei1999 writing a bot script for the Guild. Testing is now underway and is expected to be completed by 3 October; for this reason, no manual archiving of requests should be done until the testing period is over. We will then assess the bot's performance and discuss whether to make this arrangement permanent. September Drive: Our current backlog-elimination drive is open until 23:59 on 30 September (UTC) and is open to all copy editors. Sign up today! Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators, Baffle gab1978, Miniapolis, Reidgreg, Tdslk and Twofingered Typist. To discontinue receiving GOCE newsletters, please remove your name from

Sir, the edit which you did in Dr. Shamsheer Vayalil early life paragraph is just horrible. You removed many important informations from that "Early life" paragraph. Please! restore that. Thanks. ( 223.230.133.231 ( talk) 05:50, 18 June 2019 (UTC))
Sir, I apologize for my mistake. I request you, that please! restore the removed information in the Early life paragraph of Dr. Shamsheer Vayalil.

I am trying to contact Willb234 to discuss why he undid the additions to Arnold Thackray's bio made on 14 June, in which I listed provided a complete list of organizations that Arnold Thackray played a key role in establishing, as referenced. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.94.89.104 ( talk) 20:53, 19 June 2019 (UTC)
I am trying to establish why the edits I made on 14 June to Arnold Thackray's bio warranted deletion. I added information that is referenced to the opening paragraph. One may find similar paragraphs at other bios on Wikipedia. Lipen. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.94.89.104 ( talk) 22:49, 19 June 2019 (UTC)
First of all, I have made any and all edits or contributions to Wikipedia exclusively as Lipien. So I don't know on what basis you can accuse me of 'sock puppetry,' which I had to look up to find out what it is. Secondly, the last edits made to ARnold Thackray only augmented the information that already existed in the introductory paragraph, which already noted two organizations that he had founded. I added to that list to make it complete. Your explanation for the deletion was hardly justified, as the sentences I wrote were quite understandable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lipien ( talk • contribs) 23:14, 19 June 2019 (UTC)

I wait for your reply to my question. I had added that ARnold Thackray was born in Manchester because I know that he was born there. It is somewhat common knowledge among historians of science of Thackray's generation, since people know each other. Why should Thackray's birthplace remain a secret for Wikipedia readers.

Hello. You left a message on my talk page regarding NPOV. I understand that and I think that you may be mistaken because I was not the one who added that the final was thrilling. I merely added the content above it and corrected the grammar a bit. Just because I was the recent editor of the that paragraph does not mean that I wrote the non-neutral part. I think if you would like to check the history and compare revisions, you may find out what I added and who added the non-neutral part because maybe you would want to inform the real user who added that.

Hi Will, I really need some guidance here. I’m at my wits end. An anonymous user keeps adding his name to the list of my late father’s children. At first I was intrigued. I wanted DNA verification through ancestry or 23/me. Two years later and this person has yet to provide DNA proof and now admits he is not a match. Yet he (or someone) keeps adding his name and I keep taking it off. I need help. Can I protect my father’s Wikipedia page until proper verification of this person’s identity is actually received? Ccroskery ( talk) 04:21, 3 September 2019 (UTC)
Ps. They got me. And I admit I lost my temper. After editing off his name for about the 10th time, i used harsh language in my “reason for editing” comments box. Now I can’t take the word out. Sorry. I just want my dad’s life and memory not to be played with. If this guy can prove he’s my dad’s offspring then he has a right to be listed. But otherwise NOT! Please help. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ccroskery ( talk • contribs) 04:57, 3 September 2019 (UTC)
Typically the number of children (e.g., 3); only list names of independently notable or particularly relevant children. For multiple entries, use an inline list. For privacy reasons, consider omitting the names of living children, unless notable.
@ Willbb234: Hi Will, I am not sure I am replying correctly so forgive me if I’m not. Im trying to learn this process.
I appreciate your time in looking over this dispute. It may take a few days but the name Mark Croskery will reappear. For two years an anonymous user keeps changing my father’s article. Must we wait until it happens again in order to protect the article?
The only children of Danny Dark who can be found in published articles, books, or gallery exhibitions in their own right (notable) are Sydney Croskery (artist) and myself, Caroline Croskery (translator). Regardless, I would happy if you took all offspring off of his page.
How are the spouses verified? The man who claims to be my father’s son but admits the dna doesn’t match, has been editing my father’s article to include his mother’s supposed marriage to my father. My father’s will explicitly denies any such marriage and my in-depth research has not uncovered this marriage either. So I believe that the claim of Daniel Melville Croskery’s marriage to Judith Ann Freeman is erroneous and has yet to be verified, as well as Mark Croskery’s claim to be Danny Dark’s son.
Lastly, if you would, please remove all offspring and protect his article if you could. Thank you! Ccroskery ( talk) 17:53, 3 September 2019 (UTC)
Thank you for pointing out how technical this page is. Wikipedia is indeed a place where people with PhDs go to learn about their own field, and so that is why we included so much information. We tried to have the first paragraph be more approachable/general, and then followed with details for the interested reader. Please note that Dynamic Network Connectivity is completely different from Dynamic Functional Connectivity. Wikipedia is so good about disambiguating these situations, so I was hoping it would be ok Thanks!

Hello Willbb234,
Instead of reaching a magic 300 as it once did last year, the backlog approaching 6,000 is still far too high. An effort is also needed to ensure that older unsuitable older pages at the back of the queue do not get automatically indexed for Google.
A proposal is taking place here to confirm a nominated user as Coordinator of NPR.
Why I Hate Speedy Deleters, a 2008 essay by long since retired Ballonman, is still as valid today. Those of us who patrol large numbers of new pages can be forgiven for making the occasional mistake while others can learn from their 'beginner' errors. Worth reading.
Do bear in mind that articles in the feed showing the trash can icon (you will need to have 'Nominated for deletion' enabled for this in your filters) may have been tagged by inexperienced or non NPR rights holders using Twinkle. They require your further verification.
Please be sure to look for the tell-tale signs of undisclosed paid editing. Contact the creator if appropriate, and submit the issue to WP:COIN if necessary. WMF policy requires paid editors to connect to their adverts.
Regular reviewers will appreciate the most recent enhancements to the New Pages Feed and features in the Curation tool, and there are still more to come. Due to the wealth of information now displayed by ORES, reviewers are strongly encouraged to use the system now rather than Twinkle; it will also correctly populate the logs.
Stub sorting, by SD0001: A new script is available for adding/removing stub tags. See User:SD0001/StubSorter.js, It features a simple HotCat-style dynamic search field. Many of the reviewers who are using it are finding it an improvement upon other available tools.
Assessment: The script at User:Evad37/rater makes the addition of Wikiproject templates extremely easy. New page creators rarely do this. Reviewers are not obliged to make these edits but they only take a few seconds. They can use the Curation message system to let the creator know what they have done.
DannyS712 bot III is now patrolling certain categories of uncontroversial redirects. Curious? Check out its patrol log.

Hey. I know we've already spoken on the edit request on this talk page but if you could take the time to review the request today, that would be a massive help. The entirety of the proposed changes are here in this draft, so it would just involve looking through the points laid out in the request and copying the code if everything's good (the draft has been divided into sections on the request). All the back and forth with other editors has caused massive delays and the two-week wait has frustrated my client; I know that isn't your problem but any action to finally get the changes implemented would be greatly appreciated.

Guild of Copy Editors September 2019 Newsletter
Hello and welcome to the September newsletter, a brief update of Guild activities since June 2019. June election: Reidgreg was chosen as lead coordinator, and is being assisted by Baffle gab1978, Miniapolis, Tdslk, and first-time coordinator Twofingered Typist. Jonesey95 took a respite after serving for six years. Thanks to everyone who participated! June Blitz: From 16 to 22 June, we copy edited articles on the themes of nature and the environment along with requests. 12 participating editors completed 35 copy edits. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here. July Drive: The year's fourth backlog-elimination drive was a great success, clearing all articles tagged in January and February, and bringing the copy-editing backlog to a low of five months and a record low of 585 articles while also completing 48 requests. Of the 30 people who signed up, 29 copyedited at least one article, a participation level last matched in May 2015. Final results and awards are listed here. August Blitz: From 18 to 24 August, we copy edited articles tagged in March 2019 and requests. 12 participating editors completed 26 copy edits on the blitz. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here. Progress report: As of 03:00, 23 September 2019 (UTC), GOCE copyeditors had processed 413 requests since 1 January. The backlog of tagged articles stood at 599 articles, close to our record month-end low of 585. Requests page: We are experimenting with automated archiving of copy edit requests; a discussion on REQ Talk (permalinked) initiated by Bobbychan193 has resulted in Zhuyifei1999 writing a bot script for the Guild. Testing is now underway and is expected to be completed by 3 October; for this reason, no manual archiving of requests should be done until the testing period is over. We will then assess the bot's performance and discuss whether to make this arrangement permanent. September Drive: Our current backlog-elimination drive is open until 23:59 on 30 September (UTC) and is open to all copy editors. Sign up today! Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators, Baffle gab1978, Miniapolis, Reidgreg, Tdslk and Twofingered Typist. To discontinue receiving GOCE newsletters, please remove your name from
our mailing list.
