The significance of Operation Hokki is clearly demonstrated in terms of the content of the page. I stated that the Operation was the largest landing operation undertaken in Finnish history, as well as it being the only airborne operation conducted by the Republic of Finland during World War II. — Preceding unsigned comment added by The Copper Miner ( talk • contribs) 17:45, 7 April 2016 (UTC)
I just watched the pilot on ABC's website, and the production company is listed as Unaccountable Freaks Productions, not Overwhelmed Productions (which is registered to Steven Cragg, but generally writing duos create a new name for the company, as is the case here). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zachattack9 ( talk • contribs) 16:41, 7 June 2016 (UTC)
Hi,
Just visited /info/en/?search=DRofus and saw that the product name was wrong. It's actually dRofus (starting with lower case 'd' then capital 'R'). I tried to update but was dismissed as unproductive. I would like to contribute to this page but wanted to start with correcting the product spelling - also in the page name.
Best regards, Fimpen99 ( talk) 12:00, 6 July 2016 (UTC)

Hi Fuortu. After reviewing your request for "rollbacker", I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:
If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! Widr ( talk) 06:58, 23 August 2016 (UTC)
It appears that two pages were both tagged for WP:A10 as pointing to each other. I changed Pam Kijoran to WP:A7, musician with no credible claim of significance. If that is contested, there is still a unsourced BLP tag. Robert McClenon ( talk) 15:10, 23 August 2016 (UTC)
Hi and sorry if you're already aware of that:The {{ dn}} tag that sometimes follows dab links means that someone has already made an effort to disambiguate the link and hasn't succeeded – so that's probably a tough one. And unless the text around the link has been reworded or the dab page has been expanded, the situation isn't going to change. I'd caution against disambiguating such links unless you have relevant domain knowledge or are willing to do the research. Thanks. Uanfala ( talk) 16:07, 23 August 2016 (UTC)

Hi Fuortu, thanks for reviewing my draft glossary. I see I have fallen foul of the WP:NOT policy & have put together a dictionary instead :(
I have followed the WP:MOS definition that a glossary needs to be "An alphabetically arranged list of a subject's terms, with definitions. Each term is followed by one or more explanatory (encyclopedia-style) definitions". Can you advise what needs to be done to create such a glossary of Prestressed Concrete terms? I have gone through Wiki's articles on both Glossaries and Dictionaries, and but am still in the dark on this distinction when it comes to producing a list of terms for a given subject.
The intention of the proposed glossary is to be a companion article to the existing Prestressed concrete and draft Draft:Prestressed_concrete_(Theory) and Draft:Prestressed_concrete_(Stressing systems) articles I am working through. Those two draft articles are likely to contain a fair degree of technical material, so a list of terms a reader could be referred to could be quite helpful.
At first I thought possibly all terms in a glossary had to be notable and (even better) have their own Wiki articles, but I have seen many existing glossaries which don't conform to this requirement, (see Glossary of blackjack terms and Glossary of British bricklaying. Both those glossaries are just a list of terms, most even without any sources. I was hoping that my submitted article was at least at the quality of these?
Any guidance would be much appreciated. ❮❮ GEEKSTREET Talk Lane ❯❯ 00:45, 15 September 2016 (UTC)

I am new to Wikipedia. I modeled the Edward Neuman article on the existing one for his colleague - Jan Mycielski [1]. I would appreciate some help/suggestions on "What is missing?" in my submittion. I noticed that all four mathematical concepts named after Mycielski are referenced to Wikipedia articles - Is that possibly a requirement or a helpful thing for "notability" references?

Hi, and thanks for your work on the Na article! It's great having another person working on chemical element articles, particularly such an important one. I see you've done excellent work with the referencing, as well!
BTW I think we could have a little more talk on Na as a reducing agent – I see we already mention the Birch reduction, but we should probably also mention that Na in ammonia solution is commonly used to reduce alkynes to trans-alkenes, and the more basic example of reacting with alcohols to give alkoxides. Since the chemistry of Na metal and its compounds is rather anonymous (it mostly gets used as a singly-charged innocuous counter-ion, and can be more easily covered with the other alkali metals) I think things like this should be fair game for the article.

Why did you move Feast 3: The Happy Finish to Feast III: The Happy Finish?

Can you move them back to their original titles, please? NinjaRobotPirate ( talk) 17:02, 16 October 2016 (UTC)
Hi Fuortu, thank you for moving Challenge Stakes after the move I requested. It doesn't look quite right to me though - the dab page sits at Challenge Stakes (disambiguation), but - "the title of a disambiguation page is the ambiguous term itself, provided there is no primary topic for that term." per WP:DABNAME. There is no primary topic here, and I can see from the history that you had different ideas at different times before the final move. Would you be able to make "Challenge Stakes" the dab page, rather than just a redirect to the current one? Thank you -- Bcp67 ( talk) 19:44, 19 October 2016 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for reviewing my submission, /info/en/?search=Draft:Richard_S._Jaffe. Can you please elaborate? You commented said that I cited to many blogs. I did not cite a blog. AL.com is the online hub for the Birmingham News, Huntsville Times and the Mobile Press Register Newspapers. Unfortunately, all articles are posted under the URL blog.al.com. I have updated the citations to reflect that the publisher was the Birmingham News and resubmitted the post for review. Is that a sufficient enough edit or do I need to do more?

Hi,
Thanks for your quick reaction on my phone number question.
There must have been some overlap of editing (I was doing a small edit on my "sources" paragraph), and after finishing I noticed that you had apparently deleted my "sources" paragraph together with the phone number. Was that just an accident, or was there something wrong with my contribution?
It's back in there now because due to that overlap I didn't notice all this until after finishing the edit, and the text had still been in my cache. --

Hi Fuortu, first thanks for reviewing the draft on The Glover whisky in the first place. I have added more content, and many more references from national and trade press. Would be great if someone could look at it, though not sure how that works (was 3+ weeks ago); whether it's you who reviews again, or if other editors can pick it up for approval? I saw a colleague removed a Forbes citation, which I've replaced with two more suitable references. Cheers, twistedmouth — Preceding

Hi Fuortu, just an FYI, I created Talk:Runner2: Future Legend of Rhythm Alien to redirect to Talk:Runner2 after your round-robin move. Per WP:PMVR#rr step 4, please remember to re-create talk page redlinks post-move, as there are sometimes a lot of incoming links to newly-redlinked talk pages (and subpages). The reason this happens is that Page A may have a talk page, but redirect B does not. After the swap, "Talk:A" no longer exists.
In this example, see Special:WhatLinksHere/Talk:Runner2:_Future_Legend_of_Rhythm_Alien. The way I do it is, I check my own contributions for redlinked talk pages and subpages and re-create them. Hope that make sense, cheers :) — Andy W. ( talk) 17:04, 1 November 2016 (UTC)
No one said it's a poll. It's a consensus discussion. WP:NCA is a guideline, not a policy. Consensus can override a guideline, and you have closed against an obvious consensus. Please provide a better rationale on the article talk page for all to see (not here or my talk page) or self-revert the closure. This message fulfills my requirement to discuss with you before I go to WP:MR. Thank you. Sundayclose ( talk) 23:29, 6 November 2016 (UTC)
Hi Fuortu,
As an AfC reviewer you're probably aware that a new user right has been created for patrolling new pages (you might even have been granted the right already, and admins have it automatically).
Since July there has been a very serious backlog at Special:NewPagesFeed of over 14,000 pages, by far the worst since 2011, and we need an all out drive to get this back down to just a few hundred that can be easily maintained in the future. Unlike AfC, these pages are already in mainspace, and the thought of what might be there is quite scary. There are also many good faith article creators who need a simple, gentle push to the Tea House or their pages converted to Draft rather than being deleted.
Although New Page Reviewing can occasionally be somewhat more challenging than AfC, the criteria for obtaining the right are roughly the same. The Page Curation tool is even easier to use than the Helper Script, so it's likely that most AfC reviewers already have more than enough knowledge for the task of New Page Review.
It is hoped that AfC reviewers will apply for this right at WP:PERM and lend a hand. You'll need to have read the page at WP:NPR and the new tutorial.

Would you mind undoing your RM close at Talk:Steve "Clem" Grogan? I think that's a pretty strange result, as it is contrary to the previous RM about that page and didn't really have sufficient participation. In my opinion, it is contrary to WP:NICKNAME and contrary to what is ordinarily done on Wikipedia, and the quote marks are really not part of that person's name. There are various similar precedents, and I don't recall ever seeing one end up this way. I guess I wasn't paying attention over the last week. I can't blame you much for closing it the way you did, since there was no opposition expressed, but I find the provided rationale rather strange and I think this would not have happened if more discussion were allowed to occur (or if it was closed by a typical experienced admin, which is why non-admins are requested to exercise caution about closing RMs). — BarrelProof ( talk) 03:13, 18 November 2016 (UTC)
