Hello. I see you added a curation note on this page - Alfred 'Ken' Gatward - I created. I've tried to decipher what needs to be done but can't fathom what's required. If you can update the first reference, I'll follow suit on the others. Or, alternatively, direct me to a page with the correct citation format and I'll update the page accordingly.

Note that the editor claiming to be the subject of the article has now changed their position about wishing for the article to be deleted and wants it to be kept (albeit with the proviso that the article is protected.) If that changes your position in the AfD, then we can close the AfD as withdrawn by the nominator. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 23:46, 24 January 2013 (UTC)

Hi, I only made the page you noted for deletion, because I wanted a 'redirect' to the page in another language. I don't have time to translate these articles, and I was told that it was simpler to make a redirect. However, there has to be a wiki page of some kind first! 172.14.57.185 ( talk) 08:00, 3 February 2013 (UTC)

Hello Tucoxn, and thanks for patrolling new pages! I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of En.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fritz Ritterbusch, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: SS-Obersturmführer is a high-ish rank in the SS, and in my opinion this meets the low bar of A7. You may wish to review the Criteria for Speedy Deletion before tagging further pages. Thank you. — Mr. Stradivarius ♪ talk ♪ 08:14, 3 February 2013 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Metroxylon vitiense, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Petiole ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Re International School of Project Management: the rule book says very clearly that anybody, including the article's author may remove a prod tag and once it has been removed, it must not be put back. The next stage in cases like this is AfD. — RHaworth ( talk · contribs) 23:04, 10 February 2013 (UTC)
The talk page message was inaccurate: you did not second the prod - you reinstated it. Seconding a prod is the use of the {{ prod2}}. More importantly, presumably you still think the article should be deleted, so why did you not take it to AfD? — RHaworth ( talk · contribs) 14:30, 11 February 2013 (UTC)
No - this was not a re-proposal for deletion. It was a first time prod and totally OK. If a speedy is declined and you still think an article unsatisfactory, then prod or AfD are the options open to you. — RHaworth ( talk · contribs) 22:48, 11 February 2013 (UTC)
I know I've seen this before elsewhere (doesn't mean that it's right, though). In fact, an admin re-proded this article here (it's easier to see it in the article's still short history). I admit, I did it there too but that was before you gave me an apt notification. Perhaps this part of the WP:DEPROD policy should be included in the PROD template. Looks like the bold font is not enough - ʈucoxn\ talk 12:10, 13 February 2013 (UTC)

Hi, regarding your comment at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Edit (application), I found that too be a bit uncivil (eg: does the nominator have something against historical Apple software) I actually found all the articles at once from at link at the Edit article. It was already tagged for notability and I could not find anything for it. You can prove me wrong without those fairly uncivil comments, by adding reliable sources and addressing my concerns in the article (thanks for starting to do that according to your recent response). Please just assume good faith and stay civil. TBrandley ( what's up) 21:17, 17 February 2013 (UTC)
Hi. Think you might have made a couple of errors in the move here. Firstly the move itself should not have been made as it is not, as you would have been I formed when attempting the move, uncontroversial since both the old and new files show the spelling of the club to be Suwa not Suva. Just because they are from Suva doesn't mean the club would be spelled the same way, particularly as Ws and Vs are readily interchanged in pronunciation.
The second issue is with the logo you have substituted. Firstly there is no indication that that is a more up to date logo and from the state of the image my first impressions would be that it is probably not. Secondly there is a technical issue with the fair use rationale you have added. You state the source of the image is another wiki but this image does not have a correct fair use rationale as it does other state from where the original image has come from.
I'm not saying your changes were wrong but they are currently unsourced and contradictory to the images supplied. Also you need to update the f.u.r. Fenix down ( talk) 22:34, 20 February 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Thanks for volunteering your time and efforts to copyedit the Operation Storm article. Indeed the sentence you pointed out at my talk page was unclear. I tried to clarify the situation breaking down the sentence in two and moving the information around a bit. Please see how that worked out. I also took the opportunity to fix a small inaccuracy pertaining to JNA translation offered - Serbian and Croatian names differ slightly there. Cheers!-- Tomobe03 ( talk) 01:29, 5 March 2013 (UTC)
"approaching from the opposite side of the [[Krbava|Krbava {{lang|hr|Polje}}]] ({{lang-hr|[[Polje]]}} or [[karst|karst field]])"
). (Also, note that the link for
karst field redirects to
polje.) This copyedit notes that "polje" is an English and a Croatian word (I think it's indeed a pan-Yugoslav word). I don't think it's poor editing to add this bit of geology/geography to a military history article, especially since it would now be part of a translation; in fact some military operations enthusiasts might be interested to know that part of the campaign was fought on land like other poljes.

Regarding "Lička Kaldrma" mentioned in the
8-14 August 1995 section, is this the town/village of Kaldrma (translation:
network of paved roads) with a
population of about 30 in the
Lika region? Ideally, there should be at least one wikilink here since this is the first/only time the town is mentioned in the article, if it's a notable town. I imagine there's a couple correct spellings of Lička/Lika, depending on the language. Thanks! -

Re: Wikipedia:Requests_for_adminship/Banaticus, I was rather upset with what happened to Darkfire. 1) When he got into trouble I felt he should have asked me for help instead of going and smashing his head against a wall. Just be calm. 2) I felt that the person who blocked him should have come and said something to me instead of indef blocking him -- he had an adoptee message on his page and obviously he needed more guidance. I was trying to provide that, but 3) I can't possibly oversee every edit an adoptee makes, especially when they don't bother to let me know ahead of time what edits they're making and don't bother sharing when they get into trouble. I have a job, at the time I was also enrolled in college classes -- I can't watch a person's edits 24/7 or generally even watch edits as frequently as every few days. If an inability to provide constant unceasing overwatch means that I shouldn't be an adopter any more, well I stopped adopting quite a while ago. Banaticus ( talk) 13:52, 5 April 2013 (UTC)

My contribution of giving a description to Richard Ingle on Ingle_(surname) was NOT vandalism. The book written about him is subtitled "Maryland Pirate and Rebel". See the first page: http://www.gutenberg.org/files/26958/26958-h/26958-h.htm
It seems odd Richard Ingle is the only Ingle on that page that has no description. If you look at the history, he plundered Maryland, so I think "pirate" is a very accurate description. If you want to water it down, you could just say he was a "colonial seaman and privateer", but that's lame IMO. Please reconsider your edit here.

Just wanted to thank you for the clarification and advice on the non-free use rationale templates! While I'm here, would you know what the limit of non-free image files in a Wikipedia article is? Thanks again! TorBel80 ( talk) 18:09, 28 August 2013 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Removal of Ratu Mara, 2000, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page The Daily Post ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

I want to thank you very much for your copyedit at the César Cielo article. I'll take even the copyedit to implement improvements in English in other articles. Now they began to make the GA process of another article I've edited: Thiago Pereira. I've ordered 20 days ago a copyedit, but nobody has done the same, yet. If you are interested, I would be honored with another copyedit done for you. If not, no problem. I understand it must have been tiring doing the Cielo copyedit, I do not want to be boring, or require too much. Rauzaruku ( talk) 14:19, 30 August 2013 (UTC)

Meaning of a federated athlete, in Brazil = Person / thing that is federated, united in confederation. One who is part of a federation. I don't know if the United States use another term, when the athlete begins to participate in championships defending a club or a state / national federation or something. It's like "it's no longer an amateur, is defending anything official, and he is receiving money, cost assistance, support, stay and study" I just don't know exactly how to explain, if he is defending his club or a federation of a Brazilian state, as an American was defending Florida or Texas or any other state. But it's like a profissionalization. Rauzaruku ( talk) 21:33, 6 September 2013 (UTC)
Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Syagrus romanzoffiana may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "[]"s.

December Notes from the
Guild of Copy Editors
The December blitz ran from December 8–14. The theme for this blitz was articles tied in some way to religion. Seven editors knocked out 20 articles over the course of the week. Our next blitz will be in February, with a theme to be determined. Feel free to make theme suggestions at the Guild talk page! The January 2014 Backlog elimination drive is a month-long effort to reduce the size of the copy edit backlog. The drive begins on January 1 at 00:00 (UTC) and ends on January 31 at 23:59 (UTC). Our goals are to copy edit all articles tagged in October and November 2012 and complete all requests placed before the end of 2013. Barnstars will be awarded to anyone who copy edits at least one article, and special awards will be given to the top five in the following categories: "Number of articles", "Number of words", "Number of articles of over 5,000 words", "Number of articles tagged in October and November 2012", and "Longest article". We hope to see you there! Coordinator election: Voting is open for candidates to serve as GOCE coordinators from 1 January through 30 June 2014. Voting will run until the end of December. For complete information, please have a look at the election page. – Your drive coordinators: Torchiest, Baffle gab1978, Jonesey95 and The Utahraptor To discontinue receiving GOCE newsletters, please remove your name from

Hi Tucoxn, looks like never going to reach the goal of clearing the backlog... an experienced editor (11 years, 360K+ edits) is protecting their own articles on the Rongorongo text in a way that to me seems crazy. Articles written Feb 2008, images deleted from commons June 2008 - so the images were up for 4 months and been unavailable for 5.5+ years, yet every removal promptly reverted. I challenged why they were defending such old dead links [1] and all I got was "As a reminder they need to be restored"! I agree that they look like desirable images, but if there simply are no 'free' images available then it's just pointless and makes the articles look crappier. I googled for a while but couldn't even identify copies of the images in non free source, so I assume just in books. Oh well — KylieTastic ( talk) 12:18, 30 December 2013 (UTC)
