Hello. Please note that the use of DISPLAYTITLE can only be used to make minor changes to the way a page title is displayed at the top of its page, such as changing an initial letter to lower case, adding initial colons, changing spaces to underscores, adding a space after a namespace prefix, and adding formatting (italics, bolding, superscripts, subscripts, etc.). It cannot be used to display something that is longer than the current page title. In other words, your additions of {{DISPLAYTITLE:ABC World News Tonight with David Muir}}
to the
ABC World News Tonight article has no effect.
Please see Wikipedia:Page name#Changing the displayed title for more information. Thanks. Zzyzx11 ( talk) 05:40, 4 October 2014 (UTC)
Hi, I'm St170e. Agentdunhamfbi, thanks for creating Erin Maxson!
I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. Many of the categories attached to this article have red links, meaning they don't exist.
The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse. st170e talk 23:46, 4 October 2014 (UTC)

Hello CookieMonster755,
I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Rogue Valley Manor for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.
If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.
You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Trivialist ( talk) 04:11, 29 November 2014 (UTC)

Hi Cookie Monster! I wanted to let you know that I undid your addition of a hatnote to the World Trade Center article. We usually use hatnotes to help out readers who may have accidentally reached the wrong article via a search or if there are confusing article titles; in this case, a search for "twin towers" will lead to the Twin Towers page so adding another note to the World Trade Center article isn't necessary. You can read more about when to use hatnotes here. Crunch crunch, Orange Suede Sofa ( talk) 00:47, 1 December 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:TheWomanTheDragonAndTheEagleBookCover.jpg. 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).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Stefan2 ( talk) 00:16, 5 December 2014 (UTC)
@ Stefan2: the article that the image belonged in was deleted because it was not notably enough. I think the image should be deleted, because its not be used anymore. Thank you for your message! CookieMonster755 (Talk) 02:33, 5 December 2014 (UTC)
I've reverted your change to Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Recent: that's not how you transclude an RfA. Please read the instructions in detail, you are usually expected to do this without help. Furthermore, please read WP:NOTNOW, it may save you some grief. WP:TOONEW and WP:RFAADVICE are also worth a look. As recently as October you were posting wholesale copyright violations and threatening lawsuits while claiming to be an FBI agent. You've come a long way since then (you seem to have gotten a fair grasp of image policy, thank you for making the effort), but you've got a long way to go before you can make a credible candidacy to be an administrator, at least 3000 (and preferably 10,000) edits, a clean or easily explainable block record, an understanding of notability and deletion policy (you've got some issues there), solid and substantial content contributions, preferably in featured or GA content, and a record of mature judgment for at least a year, preferably two or three. Be patient, you appear to be able and willing to learn, and have made a good recovery from a bad start. Acroterion (talk) 04:19, 5 January 2015 (UTC)
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Hannah Thomas-Garner is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hannah Thomas-Garner until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. MelanieN ( talk) 22:18, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
One other comment, while we are talking about this article: I see that you are interested in becoming an administrator someday. One thing you will have to learn, if you want to be an administrator, is not to SHOUT, as you did at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hannah Thomas-Garner. Wikipedia is based on discussion, but it needs to be calm, policy-based discussion. Just a word to the wise. -- MelanieN ( talk) 00:18, 7 January 2015 (UTC)
Dear @ Valfontis: and @ MelanieN: -- Thank you for your kind messages. I am sorry for shouting, and it was not appropriate. I would like to be come an admin in the future, yes. I have been having trouble with my signature. I never knew you had to just sign 4 tides, I thought you had to add your username as well. Thank you for telling me!! Happy Editing and God Bless. Thanks for your help and suggestions. CookieMonster755 ( talk) 02:01, 7 January 2015 (UTC)
Hello, CookieMonster755. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, Sam & Mickey, for deletion because I don't think it meets our criteria for inclusion. If you don't want the article deleted:
{{proposed deletion/dated...}}
Also, be sure to explain why you think the article should be kept in your edit summary or on the article's talk page. If you don't do so, it may be deleted later anyway.
You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Burklemore1 ( talk) 04:55, 9 January 2015 (UTC)
The article One West Main has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles 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 article 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.

<outdent>Nobody's bullying or harassing you, you are being asked (nicely) to learn from experience and to conform a little better to the norms and expectations of other contributors to this encyclopedia. Put another way, we'd appreciate it if you were more professional about your contributions, assimilating constructive criticism instead of redirecting it as a personal perception of persecution. Most of the contributors to Wikipedia are substantially older than you are and have expectations of mature conduct. I personally appreciate your interest in architecture and the visual arts, uncommon on WP, and encourage you to explore these subjects, but that doesn't make you immune to criticism.

Hello CookieMonster755, and thank you for your new article. Unfortunately, I've had to remove the text of the law you added, since Wikipedia generally does not include the full text of primary sources (WP: NPS); summaries are much better. Also, as crazy as it sounds, some states, including Oregon, claim that the text of their law is copyrighted...go figure. It's not something I agree with but we had best err on the side of caution. Altamel ( talk) 03:16, 3 March 2015 (UTC)
Please do not attack other editors, as you did on Talk:Ashland Springs Hotel. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. Acroterion (talk) 04:07, 8 March 2015 (UTC)
Hi, CookieMonster! I wanted to let you know that I deleted the story about Lincoln Elementary School from the Grants Pass article. It is a very short lived story (WP:NOTNEWS) and the sources were very poor. Most of the reporting was from tabloids like the Mirror (England) and the Daily News (New York); these are not Reliable Sources because they commonly sensationalize stories and get their facts wrong. For example he wasn't being punished for being one minute late, he was punished for being REPEATEDLY late. Plus I think it is wrong to use the kid's name; he is just a kid and he doesn't need to have his privacy violated in this way. Anyhow I hope you are not unhappy that I deleted this. We can talk about it if you want. -- MelanieN ( talk) 23:56, 10 March 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for your help with Robert J. Yock. If you are interested in working on more draft articles for Federal Claims judges, there is a complete list of current drafts at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject United States courts and judges#Drafts for missing Federal Claims judges. Also, further information about many of these judges can often be found in the Congressional directories for the years during which they were active, in the "Judicial" section. Cheers! bd2412 T 18:20, 14 March 2015 (UTC)
Note that all of the "October 1, 1982" appointments of CFC judges were technically not appointments by Reagan, but were by operation of law, following enactment of the Federal Courts Improvement Act (basically, the Act turned the old Federal Claims trial judges into short-term CFC judges, some of whom were then appointed to full terms by Reagan). Cheers! bd2412 T 04:22, 18 March 2015 (UTC)*

I just came around to see how you're doing, and a nice, small image you put on the top of your talk page seems to be overlapping the other content. You might want to tweak the formatting a little bit. Just wanted to let you know about it. From your fellow Wikipedian, Wikih101 ( talk) 06:54, 24 March 2015 (UTC)
An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Emily Selke. Since you had some involvement with the Emily Selke redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion if you have not already done so. - The ChampionMan 1234 00:00, 27 March 2015 (UTC)
I'm just writing as I don't know if you are genuinely confused about this, it is a bit of shorthand I suppose or jargon used at WP:RFD quite a lot.
As shorthand, we tend to say "Not at target" (whether it's a person or a bag of beans) because we then think that the redirect is unsuitable, because someone searching for something won't find what they are looking for. In this case, anyone searching for the flight will search by the flight. Anyone searching for the particular person will find a flight. But she is not the only person ever to have that name, so this is WP:RFD#D2 confusing.
We have to be a bit clairvoyant in guessing what people will search for. As Wikipedia is such an enormously popular site to search for, most of our work over at RfD is to kinda un-knit things that have been thrown in unnecessarily. It's an interesting job to do so, at least for me.
But like with most fora, the regulars tends to get into the habit of using a kinda slang or jargon, private language, that only they know. Sorry about that. I've mentioned not long ago that it makes the place look like some gentleman's club to do so, but in practice it is very difficult to avoid. Si Trew ( talk) 07:38, 27 March 2015 (UTC)

Thank you for uploading File:Andreas Lubitz.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.
If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. Psychonaut ( talk) 12:31, 28 March 2015 (UTC)
Hi CookieMonster755 thanks for your comments. I've gone through and removed any phrases that may not appear neutral. The majority of phrases I could best identify were in the Reception section. I also made a few adjustments in several of the other sections. Related to IMDB, there are three references to the site although I would note that two of them are identical and relate to the release date for the film. This is the only place this information is available. The other IMDB reference is for the director. Is this really too many references to IMDB? Let me know if there are any other issues that you had in mind that I may have missed. I feel that the rest of the article is supported by numerous third party sources. Let me know if there are others you feel should be swapped out.

Hello,
As you probably saw my comments to the last reviewer, this is my first article and I hope I'm using proper protocol to reply to your comments on my article that was under review.
The first reviewer commented to eliminate "peacock" language and to correct the citations for repeated cites. I fixed the language and the citations and the reviewer approved my sources. The reviewer also said I shoukd resubmit the article with the corrections and there shouldn't be a problem.
However, your remarks then disagree with the last reviewer. So, I'll need some guidance as to how to fix the wording if you can please give me examples of the advertisement aspect. Similarly, can you please give me examples of what sources you feel are written by the entity that I am writing the article on because I don't know which sources you are referring.

I would like to thank you for your wonderful comment on my draft article. I realize that there is a page that lists countries of Asia at
List of sovereign states and dependent territories in Asia, however, this article was inspired by
List of sovereign states and dependent territories in Europe and
List of sovereign states and dependent territories in South America and I believe is useful from a historical perspective. However, I understand you wanting a more experienced editor to review my work.

hi cookie monster! how are you? i just got your message about the mikey walsh author page i am trying to get up and just wanted to run a couple of questions by you if thats ok? i may kick myself for not knowing this, but could you explain 'peacock terms' for me, just so i know for sure that i won't do it again. also, is the link to the book to film adaptation on imdb enough proof that its in production, or will i need more links, and add them to the reference part.. so sorry to be a bit of a pain.. its my first article and i want to be sure i get it right... I'm just trying to get to grips with 'citing' references too, to make them right.. this is hard work, eh? cheers! mark — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gypsiestrampsandbulldogs ( talk • contribs) 09:26, 30 March 2015 (UTC)
Words such as these are often used without attribution to promote the subject of an article, while neither imparting nor plainly summarizing verifiable information. They are known as "peacock terms" by Wikipedia contributors. Instead of making unprovable proclamations about a subject's importance, use facts and attribution to demonstrate that importance.
Peacock example:
Articles suffering from such language should be rewritten to correct language according to
Wikipedia:Manual of Style.
Also: Yes, your first time submitting and editing Wikipedia can be frustrating! But don't worry, you will learn the guidelines and how to create good articles on Wikipedia by reading Wikipedia guidelines and by experience. Also, if you need help with making the draft usable for the main space or need help, I will be happy to edit the article with you if you would like me to. Cheers!

Hi, I appreciate you taking the time to explain your decision to reject the AfC, but the content does reference a range of high-quality independent sources (national TV and newspapers, plus scholarly articles), so it's hard for me to think of how stating the information written there could be rewritten to not "read like an advertisement". Is it really necessary to invent something negative just to give an appearance of objectivity? How would that be objective? I'd appreciate if you gave me a pointer on how you imagine the change.
Full disclosure: this is a translation of an article sl:Zlatarna Celje that I wrote for :slwiki. Originally, the company's PR agency wanted to insert a promo piece which was deleted, so they followed the COI guideline and provided reliable references. I used those (and a few that I've found myself) to create an original text, but received no benefit from either the PR agency or their client. That text was then translated by the agency and posted here for review. I'm writing you because they asked me to help with the AfC process. — Yerpo Eh? 07:10, 30 March 2015 (UTC)

Hello CookieMonster755,
I really do need your help and I would really appreciate any and all guidance, advice, and editing you can help me with! Thank you! I feel like I have been working on this for a while, and I have edited and followed three different editors suggestions to get this passed. The article has been significantly changed numerous times since my first submission of the article. I was wondering what it would take to get this article passed. I don't feel like I can be too far away from the article being okay. I have followed every editor's suggestion to me so far, and every time a new editor has a new problem with the article. Should I take out the community initiatives section completely? Or is it just how the section is written? I have seen various other banks on Wikipedia pages with similar sections on their page. For example [ National Bank in Eastern Kentucky] has a donations section. Albeit, much smaller than my article. Should I make the section smaller? I wanted to include more than just the history of the bank, and I thought the connection with 9/11 shows the bank's significance. I am open to any suggestion you have. I would really like to get this passed, especially because it takes so long to review the article after I have submitted it. I have been working on this for months now, and I would really like for my next submission to pass. If you could please help edit it and suggest changes for me to make so that there is no doubt the next time I submit, it will be approved. Thank you for your help!

Your help came at just the right time before I felt completely overwhelmed and defeated. I cannot tell you how grateful I am for your magnanimity. Thank you for devoting your time to help me, I know at some point there were over 800 articles on backlog, and the fact you chose me to help out of everyone is really humbling. Thank you. Good luck on your future pursuits, and I hope to work with you in the future on new articles. I am still learning how to do everything on here, and I hope to be of assistance to you someday to return the favor. Pax,

Hello CookieMonster755
Thank you for your comments.
1) As I understand referring to external links is not allowed. I will remove them. Can I still refer to the program's webite (when no other references are available) like at a simular program ORCAD /info/en/?search=OrCAD references [1]-[7] ?
2) I am not sure what you mean by "this article needs citation clean-up" and "submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources" All references I cited are well known scientific and industry sources.
Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.

Hi!
Thank You for Your insight about the page I've tried to edit. I am just not quite sure what is the problem. There are many published pages without even written sources. I also have some pictures that can corroborate what I've been writing about, but I am not quite sure how to post them, so I didn't mind yet. I am a member of that family and have no interest to publish any false data. Anyway, I will try to put as much references as I know, so hopefully the page will be published after corrections will be done. Enjoy...

Just seeking some guidance as to the parts of this draft that run afoul of WP:MINREF. I know that there is some unsourced stuff about his charity, but I think that can easily be removed as promotional. (I don't think it's likely to be challenged, like a WP:MINREF issue, though.) This is a pretty notable physician. I didn't review it because I ended up expanding it a little bit, but it was pretty clear to me that this was a notable figure in medicine and I think the sourcing goes a long way toward supporting that. I appreciate your help. EricEnfermero ( Talk) 04:30, 8 April 2015 (UTC)
Hello CookieMonster755 & EricEnfermero thank you for your help. I totally misunderstood the citation needed remarks and I am so sorry. I saw those and went and googled Dr. Snodgrasses "Who's Who" notability and his award fellowship and his online listings for articles for pediatric urology and pediatric surgery...should I remove all of that or were those things you were asking for? I guess I am still kind of confused. The placing of the citation needed made me think that the reviewer (I want to say "Ahecht" was the reviewers name) was legitimately wanting a reference to prove that Dr. Snodgrass got that listed fellowship and had published all those articles etc. Can you please clarify? I forgot to sign! oops! WhitneyWells ( talk) 14:10, 8 April 2015 (UTC)
Hello,
I'm relatively new to Wiki Editing, and this is the second time my article has been rejected, so I'm hoping you can help me out.
I've edited my draft quite a few times now based on a few editor suggestions (thank you!) and have compared my citations to those used on other existing bios for people in the same field. I'm not sure I'm clear on how some instances of published articles (for example: a Huffington Post piece) is considered Not A Valid Source, while another wiki page I've looked at cites the person's own website as a source and it is acceptable. Wouldn't that be less of an independent source than a HuffPo piece?
Not trying to be contrary at all, I'm just hoping this can be clarified so my article doesn't get rejected a third time :-)

Hi CookieMonster755,
thanks for reviewing my article on the "European Sequencing and Genotyping Infrastructure". I am a bit confused though in regards to the reason for rejection. It is stated that the article is not supported by a reliable source. However, this article is strongly supported by the European Union or European Commission, its executive body. I don't understand how this is not reliable as it is a government body (similar to the United Nations or the United States of America).
Could you please clarify? Thanks so much!

On the page Draft:Dave Ruch, you declined the page citing "Needs reliable references. 'google.com' is not a reliable references, it's a search engine." The google.com link was actually a link to the google books copy of "Jam Bands": North America's Hottest Live Groups which includes a short except about the subject. Does this not qualify as a reliable source? The article seems to have enough other reliable sources that discuss the author to merit survival at AfD. I was wondering why you decided to decline the draft in this case?
Side note: The author has since removed the link to the google book and resubmitted the article with no other changes. Winner 42 Talk to me! 15:48, 14 April 2015 (UTC)
Thanks for your help on the draft of Jack W. Leslie, which I am resubmitting. I am hoping I have made a start at addressing your concerns. Can you help me figure out how to remove the W. from the article title? It was a mistake and it is preventing me from linking from other articles (e.g. from the Wikipedia page for Weber Shandwick). The name of the subject is just Jack Leslie. Perhaps it could go to the disambiguation page and say "Jack Leslie (public relations executive)." **Update: When I try to resubmit, it redirects me to a page that seems to be resubmission only of a new section, which is blank. Is this correct? It is asking me for a subject heading for it. Not sure what to do. Help appreciated. Thanks again.
If you wouldn't mind moving to disambiguation (or telling me how to) I would really appreciate it. Just about all references to him are just to Jack. It was a mistake on my part. Thanks for being so helpful.

It is wonderful to have an unique opportunity to describe my viewpoints in regards to unregistered users. Perhaps I should talk about it here before you decide which ones are perfect for the essay. First of all, I do believe that sometimes the IP addresses are more often judged as being unconstructive on Wikipedia as many users, myself included, frequently see that the "usual" users who seemed to be unconstructive are not registered, still, I have seen auto confirmed users making edit mistakes as well. But I personally believe that all users registered or not, should be treated in the same manner when their edits are being assessed by others. Also, the saying "Always assume good faith" remains a very strong adherence of mine as a responsible roll backer. IP addresses play a major role on the site, as I have seen many articles being drastically improved and created by the IP addresses in the first place. (my analysis to be continued...)

Dear CookieMonster755 - I really appreciate your edit on the the photo of Alexander Beridze to remove the extraneous reference at the bottom of the image. I do not speak Georgian, but I asked Alexander Beridze if the correction you made to his name in Georgian on the photo was correct, since it is different that than characters that are used in the text. Alexander said that the Georgian spelling in the text is correct, but the spelling on the photo is incorrect. He believe that you may have confused him with another pianist from the Republic of Georgia who lives in LA. Since I do not know how to correct the spelling on the photo, would you be able to do this so it matches the spelling in the text? Thank you! AnnRos ( talk) 20:16, 17 April 2015 (UTC)
Greetings! For this month's issue...
We have demos!
After a lengthy research and design process, we decided for WikiProject X to focus on two things:
We have a live demonstration of the new WikiProject workflow at WikiProject Women in Technology, a brand new WikiProject that was set up as an adjunct to a related edit-a-thon in Washington, DC. The goal is to surface action items for editors, and we intend on doing that through automatically updated working lists. We are looking into using SuggestBot to generate lists of outstanding tasks, and we are looking into additional options for automatic worklist generation. This takes the burden off of WikiProject editors to generate these worklists, though there is also a "requests" section for Wikipedians to make individual requests. (As of writing, these automated lists are not yet live, so you will see a blank space under "edit articles" on the demo WikiProject. Sorry about that!) I invite you to check out the WikiProject and leave feedback on WikiProject X's talk page.
Once the demo is sufficiently developed, we will be working on a limited deployment on our pilot WikiProjects. We have selected five for the first round of testing based on the highest potential for impact and will scale up from there.
While a re-designed WikiProject experience is much needed, that alone isn't enough. A WikiProject isn't any good if people have no way of discovering it. This is why we are also developing an automatically updated WikiProject directory. This directory will surface project-related metrics, including a count of active WikiProject participants and of active editors in that project's subject area. The purpose of these metrics is to highlight how active the WikiProject is at the given point of time, but also to highlight that project's potential for success. The directory is not yet live but there is a demonstration featuring a sampling of WikiProjects.
Each directory entry will link to a WikiProject description page which automatically list the active WikiProject participants and subject-area article editors. This allows Wikipedians to find each other based on the areas they are interested in, and this information can be used to revive a WikiProject, start a new one, or even for some other purpose. These description pages are not online yet, but they will use this template, if you want to get a feel of what they will look like.
We need volunteers!
WikiProject X is a huge undertaking, and we need volunteers to support our efforts, including testers and coders. Check out our volunteer portal and see what you can do to help us!
As an aside...
Wouldn't it be cool if lists of requested articles could not only be integrated directly with WikiProjects, but also shared between WikiProjects? Well, we got the crazy idea of having experimental software feature Flow deployed (on a totally experimental basis) on the new Article Request Workshop, which seeks to be a place where editors can "workshop" article ideas before they get created. It uses Flow because Flow allows, essentially, section-level categorization, and in the future will allow "sections" (known as "topics" within Flow) to be included across different pages. What this means is that you have a recommendation for a new article tagged by multiple WikiProjects, allowing for the recommendation to appear on lists for each WikiProject. This will facilitate inter-WikiProject collaboration and will help to reduce duplicated work. The Article Request Workshop is not entirely ready yet due to some bugs with Flow, but we hope to integrate it into our pilot WikiProjects at some point.

Thank you for your input on draft article -- Caves of Faribault. Can you take another look and provide feedback before I resubmit it for approval?

Good morning -- thanks for the feedback. I revised the business section and would appreciate your input.

I look at you and see some reflection of me in 2012. You have improved many folds in such less time.

CookieMonster: You may want to look up Wikipedia talk:Arbitration Committee/Noticeboard#OccultZone and sockpuppetry, Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/OccultZone/Archive, and User talk:Jimbo Wales#OccultZone and Sock-puppetry. It turns out that OZ has for years operated an extensive sock-farm of sock-puppets who were engaged in long-term disruption, abuse and POV pushing. By the way: on top of you giving OZ a barnstar, you attempting to contact off-wiki [3] the admin who blocked OZ after the Arbcom case does look like trolling. If you've got something to say regarding Wikipedia matters, say it here, on-wiki.

Hi CookieMonster755. I saw you had listed yourself as those who would consider filing an RFA for someone. As such, I would appreciate your review, comments and if it is merited your RFA for me. Admittedly I'm not much for new content creation, at least on a large scale...mainly because it reminds me too much of research papers in college. I find myself more content with helping new users, fighting vandalism, making smaller article contributions that are significant in their own way, recently helping with creating new user accounts, and processing files for upload. As such, I look forward to what you can offer me and I thank you for your time and consideration! RegistryKey (RegEdit) 01:30, 15 June 2015 (UTC)

Hello friends! We have been hard at work these past two months. For this report:
For the first time, we are happy to bring you an exhaustive, comprehensive WikiProject Directory. This directory endeavors to list every single WikiProject on the English Wikipedia, including those that don't participate in article assessment. In constructing the broadest possible definition, we have come up with a list of approximately 2,600 WikiProjects. The directory tracks activity statistics on the WikiProject's pages, and, for where it's available, statistics on the number of articles tracked by the WikiProject and the number of editors active on those articles. Complementing the directory are description pages for each project, listing usernames of people active on the WikiProject pages and the articles in the WikiProject's scope. This will help Wikipedians interested in a subject find each other, whether to seek feedback on an article or to revive an old project. (There is an opt-out option.) We have also come up with listings of related WikiProjects, listing the ten most relevant WikiProjects based on what articles they have in common. We would like to promote WikiProjects as interconnected systems, rather than isolated silos.
A tremendous amount of work went into preparing this directory. WikiProjects do not consistently categorize their pages, meaning we had to develop our own index to match WikiProjects with the articles in their scope. We also had to make some adjustments to how WikiProjects were categorized; indeed, I personally have racked up a few hundred edits re-categorizing WikiProjects. There remains more work to be done to make the WikiProject directory truly useful. In the meantime, take a look and feel free to leave feedback at the WikiProject X talk page.
What have we been working on?
Want us to work on any other tools? Interested in volunteering? Leave a note on our talk page.
The database report which lists WikiProjects according to the number of watchers (i.e., people that have the project on their watchlist), is back! The report stopped being updated a year ago, following the deactivation of the Toolserver, but a replacement report has been generated.
Hi, I had some free time today and went about finding more/better references for your article. I removed the New York Times ref because it wasn't about Pearson at all. I was unable to find the names of Pearson's parents, though USA Today did tell me his father's profession. My only question is why you mentioned "a series of YouTube videos"? It seems that only the February video went viral and garnered all that media attention. Thanks, Yoninah ( talk) 19:22, 18 June 2015 (UTC)

Hello. Please note that the use of DISPLAYTITLE can only be used to make minor changes to the way a page title is displayed at the top of its page, such as changing an initial letter to lower case, adding initial colons, changing spaces to underscores, adding a space after a namespace prefix, and adding formatting (italics, bolding, superscripts, subscripts, etc.). It cannot be used to display something that is longer than the current page title. In other words, your additions of {{DISPLAYTITLE:ABC World News Tonight with David Muir}}
to the

Hello CookieMonster755,
I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Rogue Valley Manor for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

Hi Cookie Monster! I wanted to let you know that I undid your addition of a hatnote to the World Trade Center article. We usually use hatnotes to help out readers who may have accidentally reached the wrong article via a search or if there are confusing article titles; in this case, a search for "twin towers" will lead to the Twin Towers page so adding another note to the World Trade Center article isn't necessary.

Thanks for uploading File:TheWomanTheDragonAndTheEagleBookCover.jpg. 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).

I've reverted your change to Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Recent: that's not how you transclude an RfA. Please read the instructions in detail, you are usually expected to do this without help. Furthermore, please read WP:NOTNOW, it may save you some grief. WP:TOONEW and WP:RFAADVICE are also worth a look. As recently as October you were posting wholesale copyright violations and threatening lawsuits while claiming to be an FBI agent. You've come a long way since then (you seem to have gotten a fair grasp of image policy, thank you for making the effort), but you've got a long way to go before you can make a credible candidacy to be an administrator, at least 3000 (and preferably 10,000) edits, a clean or easily explainable block record, an understanding of notability and deletion policy (you've got some issues there), solid and substantial content contributions, preferably in featured or GA content, and a record of mature judgment for at least a year, preferably two or three. Be patient, you appear to be able and willing to learn, and have made a good recovery from a bad start. Acroterion (talk) 04:19, 5 January 2015 (UTC)
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Hannah Thomas-Garner is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hannah Thomas-Garner until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. MelanieN ( talk) 22:18, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
One other comment, while we are talking about this article: I see that you are interested in becoming an administrator someday.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles 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 article 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.

<outdent>Nobody's bullying or harassing you, you are being asked (nicely) to learn from experience and to conform a little better to the norms and expectations of other contributors to this encyclopedia. Put another way, we'd appreciate it if you were more professional about your contributions, assimilating constructive criticism instead of redirecting it as a personal perception of persecution. Most of the contributors to Wikipedia are substantially older than you are and have expectations of mature conduct. I personally appreciate your interest in architecture and the visual arts, uncommon on WP, and encourage you to explore these subjects, but that doesn't make you immune to criticism.

Hello CookieMonster755, and thank you for your new article. Unfortunately, I've had to remove the text of the law you added, since Wikipedia generally does not include the full text of primary sources (WP: NPS); summaries are much better. Also, as crazy as it sounds, some states, including Oregon, claim that the text of their law is copyrighted...go figure. It's not something I agree with but we had best err on the side of caution. Altamel ( talk) 03:16, 3 March 2015 (UTC)
Please do not attack other editors, as you did on Talk:Ashland Springs Hotel. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. Acroterion (talk) 04:07, 8 March 2015 (UTC)
Hi, CookieMonster! I wanted to let you know that I deleted the story about Lincoln Elementary School from the Grants Pass article. It is a very short lived story (WP:NOTNEWS) and the sources were very poor. Most of the reporting was from tabloids like the Mirror (England) and the Daily News (New York); these are not Reliable Sources because they commonly sensationalize stories and get their facts wrong.

Thanks for your help with Robert J. Yock. If you are interested in working on more draft articles for Federal Claims judges, there is a complete list of current drafts at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject United States courts and judges#Drafts for missing Federal Claims judges. Also, further information about many of these judges can often be found in the Congressional directories for the years during which they were active, in the "Judicial" section. Cheers! bd2412 T 18:20, 14 March 2015 (UTC)
Note that all of the "October 1, 1982" appointments of CFC judges were technically not appointments by Reagan, but were by operation of law, following enactment of the Federal Courts Improvement Act (basically, the Act turned the old Federal Claims trial judges into short-term CFC judges, some of whom were then appointed to full terms by Reagan).

I just came around to see how you're doing, and a nice, small image you put on the top of your talk page seems to be overlapping the other content.

An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Emily Selke. Since you had some involvement with the Emily Selke redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion if you have not already done so. - The ChampionMan 1234 00:00, 27 March 2015 (UTC)
I'm just writing as I don't know if you are genuinely confused about this, it is a bit of shorthand I suppose or jargon used at WP:RFD quite a lot.
As shorthand, we tend to say "Not at target" (whether it's a person or a bag of beans) because we then think that the redirect is unsuitable, because someone searching for something won't find what they are looking for. In this case, anyone searching for the flight will search by the flight. Anyone searching for the particular person will find a flight. But she is not the only person ever to have that name, so this is WP:RFD#D2 confusing.
We have to be a bit clairvoyant in guessing what people will search for. As Wikipedia is such an enormously popular site to search for, most of our work over at RfD is to kinda un-knit things that have been thrown in unnecessarily. It's an interesting job to do so, at least for me.
But like with most fora, the regulars tends to get into the habit of using a kinda slang or jargon, private language, that only they know. Sorry about that. I've mentioned not long ago that it makes the place look like some gentleman's club to do so, but in practice it is very difficult to avoid. Si Trew ( talk) 07:38, 27 March 2015 (UTC)

Thank you for uploading File:Andreas Lubitz.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.
If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion.

Hi CookieMonster755 thanks for your comments. I've gone through and removed any phrases that may not appear neutral. The majority of phrases I could best identify were in the Reception section. I also made a few adjustments in several of the other sections. Related to IMDB, there are three references to the site although I would note that two of them are identical and relate to the release date for the film. This is the only place this information is available. The other IMDB reference is for the director. Is this really too many references to IMDB? Let me know if there are any other issues that you had in mind that I may have missed. I feel that the rest of the article is supported by numerous third party sources. Let me know if there are others you feel should be swapped out.

Thanks for uploading File:Andreas Lubitz.jpg. 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,
As you probably saw my comments to the last reviewer, this is my first article and I hope I'm using proper protocol to reply to your comments on my article that was under review.
The first reviewer commented to eliminate "peacock" language and to correct the citations for repeated cites. I fixed the language and the citations and the reviewer approved my sources. The reviewer also said I shoukd resubmit the article with the corrections and there shouldn't be a problem.
However, your remarks then disagree with the last reviewer. So, I'll need some guidance as to how to fix the wording if you can please give me examples of the advertisement aspect. Similarly, can you please give me examples of what sources you feel are written by the entity that I am writing the article on because I don't know which sources you are referring.

Words such as these are often used without attribution to promote the subject of an article, while neither imparting nor plainly summarizing verifiable information. They are known as "peacock terms" by Wikipedia contributors. Instead of making unprovable proclamations about a subject's importance, use facts and attribution to demonstrate that importance.
Peacock example:
Articles suffering from such language should be rewritten to correct language according to
Wikipedia:Manual of Style.

But don't worry, you will learn the guidelines and how to create good articles on Wikipedia by reading Wikipedia guidelines and by experience.

Hi, I appreciate you taking the time to explain your decision to reject the AfC, but the content does reference a range of high-quality independent sources (national TV and newspapers, plus scholarly articles), so it's hard for me to think of how stating the information written there could be rewritten to not "read like an advertisement". Is it really necessary to invent something negative just to give an appearance of objectivity? How would that be objective? I'd appreciate if you gave me a pointer on how you imagine the change.
Full disclosure: this is a translation of an article sl:Zlatarna Celje that I wrote for :slwiki. Originally, the company's PR agency wanted to insert a promo piece which was deleted, so they followed the COI guideline and provided reliable references. I used those (and a few that I've found myself) to create an original text, but received no benefit from either the PR agency or their client. That text was then translated by the agency and posted here for review. I'm writing you because they asked me to help with the AfC process. — Yerpo Eh? 07:10, 30 March 2015 (UTC)

Hello CookieMonster755,
I really do need your help and I would really appreciate any and all guidance, advice, and editing you can help me with! Thank you! I feel like I have been working on this for a while, and I have edited and followed three different editors suggestions to get this passed. The article has been significantly changed numerous times since my first submission of the article. I was wondering what it would take to get this article passed. I don't feel like I can be too far away from the article being okay. I have followed every editor's suggestion to me so far, and every time a new editor has a new problem with the article. Should I take out the community initiatives section completely? Or is it just how the section is written? I have seen various other banks on Wikipedia pages with similar sections on their page. For example [ National Bank in Eastern Kentucky] has a donations section. Albeit, much smaller than my article. Should I make the section smaller? I wanted to include more than just the history of the bank, and I thought the connection with 9/11 shows the bank's significance. I am open to any suggestion you have. I would really like to get this passed, especially because it takes so long to review the article after I have submitted it. I have been working on this for months now, and I would really like for my next submission to pass. If you could please help edit it and suggest changes for me to make so that there is no doubt the next time I submit, it will be approved. Thank you for your help!

I also have some pictures that can corroborate what I've been writing about, but I am not quite sure how to post them, so I didn't mind yet.

Just seeking some guidance as to the parts of this draft that run afoul of WP:MINREF. I know that there is some unsourced stuff about his charity, but I think that can easily be removed as promotional. (I don't think it's likely to be challenged, like a WP:MINREF issue, though.) This is a pretty notable physician. I didn't review it because I ended up expanding it a little bit, but it was pretty clear to me that this was a notable figure in medicine and I think the sourcing goes a long way toward supporting that. I appreciate your help. EricEnfermero ( Talk) 04:30, 8 April 2015 (UTC)
Hello CookieMonster755 & EricEnfermero thank you for your help. I totally misunderstood the citation needed remarks and I am so sorry. I saw those and went and googled Dr. Snodgrasses "Who's Who" notability and his award fellowship and his online listings for articles for pediatric urology and pediatric surgery...should I remove all of that or were those things you were asking for? I guess I am still kind of confused. The placing of the citation needed made me think that the reviewer (I want to say "Ahecht" was the reviewers name) was legitimately wanting a reference to prove that Dr. Snodgrass got that listed fellowship and had published all those articles etc. Can you please clarify?

Hello,
I'm relatively new to Wiki Editing, and this is the second time my article has been rejected, so I'm hoping you can help me out.
I've edited my draft quite a few times now based on a few editor suggestions (thank you!) and have compared my citations to those used on other existing bios for people in the same field. I'm not sure I'm clear on how some instances of published articles (for example: a Huffington Post piece) is considered Not A Valid Source, while another wiki page I've looked at cites the person's own website as a source and it is acceptable. Wouldn't that be less of an independent source than a HuffPo piece?
Not trying to be contrary at all, I'm just hoping this can be clarified so my article doesn't get rejected a third time :-)

thanks for reviewing my article on the "European Sequencing and Genotyping Infrastructure". I am a bit confused though in regards to the reason for rejection. It is stated that the article is not supported by a reliable source. However, this article is strongly supported by the European Union or European Commission, its executive body. I don't understand how this is not reliable as it is a government body (similar to the United Nations or the United States of America).
Could you please clarify? Thanks so much!
Best, Andre

On the page Draft:Dave Ruch, you declined the page citing "Needs reliable references. 'google.com' is not a reliable references, it's a search engine." The google.com link was actually a link to the google books copy of "Jam Bands": North America's Hottest Live Groups which includes a short except about the subject. Does this not qualify as a reliable source? The article seems to have enough other reliable sources that discuss the author to merit survival at AfD. I was wondering why you decided to decline the draft in this case?
Side note: The author has since removed the link to the google book and resubmitted the article with no other changes. Winner 42 Talk to me! 15:48, 14 April 2015 (UTC)
Thanks for your help on the draft of Jack W. Leslie, which I am resubmitting. I am hoping I have made a start at addressing your concerns. Can you help me figure out how to remove the W. from the article title? It was a mistake and it is preventing me from linking from other articles (e.g. from the Wikipedia page for Weber Shandwick). The name of the subject is just Jack Leslie. Perhaps it could go to the disambiguation page and say "Jack Leslie (public relations executive)." **Update: When I try to resubmit, it redirects me to a page that seems to be resubmission only of a new section, which is blank. Is this correct? It is asking me for a subject heading for it. Not sure what to do. Help appreciated. Thanks again.
If you wouldn't mind moving to disambiguation (or telling me how to) I would really appreciate it. Just about all references to him are just to Jack. It was a mistake on my part. Thanks for being so helpful.

It is wonderful to have an unique opportunity to describe my viewpoints in regards to unregistered users. Perhaps I should talk about it here before you decide which ones are perfect for the essay. First of all, I do believe that sometimes the IP addresses are more often judged as being unconstructive on Wikipedia as many users, myself included, frequently see that the "usual" users who seemed to be unconstructive are not registered, still, I have seen auto confirmed users making edit mistakes as well. But I personally believe that all users registered or not, should be treated in the same manner when their edits are being assessed by others. Also, the saying "Always assume good faith" remains a very strong adherence of mine as a responsible roll backer. IP addresses play a major role on the site, as I have seen many articles being drastically improved and created by the IP addresses in the first place. (my analysis to be continued...)

Dear CookieMonster755 - I really appreciate your edit on the the photo of Alexander Beridze to remove the extraneous reference at the bottom of the image. I do not speak Georgian, but I asked Alexander Beridze if the correction you made to his name in Georgian on the photo was correct, since it is different that than characters that are used in the text. Alexander said that the Georgian spelling in the text is correct, but the spelling on the photo is incorrect. He believe that you may have confused him with another pianist from the Republic of Georgia who lives in LA. Since I do not know how to correct the spelling on the photo, would you be able to do this so it matches the spelling in the text? Thank you! AnnRos ( talk) 20:16, 17 April 2015 (UTC)
Greetings! For this month's issue...
We have demos!
After a lengthy research and design process, we decided for WikiProject X to focus on two things:
We have a live demonstration of the new WikiProject workflow at WikiProject Women in Technology, a brand new WikiProject that was set up as an adjunct to a related edit-a-thon in Washington, DC. The goal is to surface action items for editors, and we intend on doing that through automatically updated working lists. We are looking into using SuggestBot to generate lists of outstanding tasks, and we are looking into additional options for automatic worklist generation. This takes the burden off of WikiProject editors to generate these worklists, though there is also a "requests" section for Wikipedians to make individual requests. (As of writing, these automated lists are not yet live, so you will see a blank space under "edit articles" on the demo WikiProject. Sorry about that!) I invite you to check out the WikiProject and leave feedback on WikiProject X's talk page.
Once the demo is sufficiently developed, we will be working on a limited deployment on our pilot WikiProjects. We have selected five for the first round of testing based on the highest potential for impact and will scale up from there.
While a re-designed WikiProject experience is much needed, that alone isn't enough. A WikiProject isn't any good if people have no way of discovering it. This is why we are also developing an automatically updated WikiProject directory. This directory will surface project-related metrics, including a count of active WikiProject participants and of active editors in that project's subject area. The purpose of these metrics is to highlight how active the WikiProject is at the given point of time, but also to highlight that project's potential for success. The directory is not yet live but there is a demonstration featuring a sampling of WikiProjects.
Each directory entry will link to a WikiProject description page which automatically list the active WikiProject participants and subject-area article editors. This allows Wikipedians to find each other based on the areas they are interested in, and this information can be used to revive a WikiProject, start a new one, or even for some other purpose. These description pages are not online yet, but they will use this template, if you want to get a feel of what they will look like.
We need volunteers!
WikiProject X is a huge undertaking, and we need volunteers to support our efforts, including testers and coders. Check out our volunteer portal and see what you can do to help us!
As an aside...
Wouldn't it be cool if lists of requested articles could not only be integrated directly with WikiProjects, but also shared between WikiProjects? Well, we got the crazy idea of having experimental software feature Flow deployed (on a totally experimental basis) on the new Article Request Workshop, which seeks to be a place where editors can "workshop" article ideas before they get created. It uses Flow because Flow allows, essentially, section-level categorization, and in the future will allow "sections" (known as "topics" within Flow) to be included across different pages. What this means is that you have a recommendation for a new article tagged by multiple WikiProjects, allowing for the recommendation to appear on lists for each WikiProject. This will facilitate inter-WikiProject collaboration and will help to reduce duplicated work. The Article Request Workshop is not entirely ready yet due to some bugs with Flow, but we hope to integrate it into our pilot WikiProjects at some point.

I'm the author of the draft T.L. Williams wiki page, and received a not from you that it was rejected because of lack of verifiable sources. I wasn't sure what the specific issue was.

Hello friends! We have been hard at work these past two months. For this report:
For the first time, we are happy to bring you an exhaustive, comprehensive WikiProject Directory. This directory endeavors to list every single WikiProject on the English Wikipedia, including those that don't participate in article assessment. In constructing the broadest possible definition, we have come up with a list of approximately 2,600 WikiProjects. The directory tracks activity statistics on the WikiProject's pages, and, for where it's available, statistics on the number of articles tracked by the WikiProject and the number of editors active on those articles. Complementing the directory are description pages for each project, listing usernames of people active on the WikiProject pages and the articles in the WikiProject's scope. This will help Wikipedians interested in a subject find each other, whether to seek feedback on an article or to revive an old project. (There is an opt-out option.) We have also come up with listings of related WikiProjects, listing the ten most relevant WikiProjects based on what articles they have in common. We would like to promote WikiProjects as interconnected systems, rather than isolated silos.
A tremendous amount of work went into preparing this directory. WikiProjects do not consistently categorize their pages, meaning we had to develop our own index to match WikiProjects with the articles in their scope. We also had to make some adjustments to how WikiProjects were categorized; indeed, I personally have racked up a few hundred edits re-categorizing WikiProjects. There remains more work to be done to make the WikiProject directory truly useful. In the meantime, take a look and feel free to leave feedback at the WikiProject X talk page.
What have we been working on?
Want us to work on any other tools? Interested in volunteering? Leave a note on our talk page.
The database report which lists WikiProjects according to the number of watchers (i.e., people that have the project on their watchlist), is back! The report stopped being updated a year ago, following the deactivation of the Toolserver, but a replacement report has been generated.
Hi, I had some free time today and went about finding more/better references for your article. I removed the New York Times ref because it wasn't about Pearson at all. I was unable to find the names of Pearson's parents, though USA Today did tell me his father's profession. My only question is why you mentioned "a series of YouTube videos"? It seems that only the February video went viral and garnered all that media attention. Thanks, Yoninah ( talk) 19:22, 18 June 2015 (UTC)
