Victor,
I sincerely hope your holiday season goes well this year especially with what we went through last year. I'm optimistic that 2022 will be a better year for all of us: both in real life and on Wikipedia. Wishing you the best from,

Hi Victor,
Thanks for the update on the images and for providing the information on obtaining permission. I will send an email to Dr. Bush asking for permission to use the image. I will send him a link to the page so he can see what I am putting together. I noticed that the other image from Venom ER was taken down. Does that qualify even though it's in the series and is in the public domain? Or does it come down to needing to obtain permission? I reviewed the Non-free content criteria and it seems to qualify.

Hello. Although for some reason you aren't signed up as a host at the Teahouse, I recognise you've made a lot of number of contributions there over the years. So I wanted to make sure you're aware of the imminent rollout of new Growth Team Features which every new account will be getting by default. Each users will soon see a new 'Homepage' tab next to their User page. It contains two main elements which might impact on your involvement - and you'd be welcome to get involved and help out directly with one of them.
To spread the load on our current list of around 65 mentors, I'm reaching out to ask if you'd like to help out and sign up as one? The workload is relatively small; User Panini! reports receiving four questions a month, on average, all of which were simple ones of the type we already get at the Teahouse, whilst I've had just one in the last 3 weeks. To view a list of every question asked of all mentors over the last 14 days, click here.
If becoming a mentor and being available to help new users on their first few days here interests you - just as have done at the Teahouse in the past - then please consider signing up at Growth Team features/Mentor list. But please only do so if you are genuinely willing to be available to help. Existing users can already 'opt-in' to seeing the Newcomer Homepage features via their Preferences.
Thank you! Nick Moyes ( talk) 17:30, 25 February 2022 (UTC)
Hi Victor,
I realized I tried chatting on an archived page so starting a new thread. A few months ago I created a page for Dr Sean Bush but the images were not approved. I have since reached out to Dr. Bush and explained what I was doing and he kindly submitted photos in which he owned and had taken himself. He sent them to wiki-commons along with his approval and me on the thread. I'd like to add those images to his page but want to make sure they are good to go on the backend. Is there a place to go where you can see if those images are approved and won't be taken down if I add them?
Thanks, Nicole Beansalad3 ( talk) 20:31, 1 March 2022 (UTC)
Thanks Victor, I will check with the noticeboard. There was some back and forth on asking if he was the owner of the images and how and Dr. Bush did respond. I'll check on next steps. ' — Preceding unsigned comment added by Beansalad3 ( talk • contribs) 16:43, 2 March 2022 (UTC)
Hello. Regarding the recent revert you made to
Bangor Grammar School: you may already know about them, but you might find
Wikipedia:Template index/User talk namespace useful. After a revert, these can be placed on the user's talk page to let them know you considered their edit inappropriate, and also direct new users towards the
sandbox. They can also be used to give a stern warning to a
vandal when they've been previously warned. Try warning both vandals next time when reverting edits made by 2 vandals. But good job reporting the first!

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Shree Rapaka requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a real person or group of people that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. Myna50 ( talk) 13:43, 16 March 2022 (UTC)
I would like to add few more details:
Schreiberbike has accused me of unconstructive edits and vandalism.
He also called me a jerk and further on, accused me of spreading some kind of religion???
Then, LaundryPizza03 accused me of attacking Schreiberbike on his talk page, although I have addressed the issue on his Talk Page where I have the full right to do:
"All content and conduct issues should be discussed first at the talk page of the relevant article or user before requesting dispute resolution."
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Dispute_resolution_requests/ANI
And the last, Arthur Douglas Weller III, an admin here, didn't sent me any article nor link about the Special Policy meaning he flatly banned me.

An article you recently created,
Nathan Vandergunst, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from
reliable,
independent sources. (
?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (
verifiability is of
central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to
draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:
" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's
general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

I've closed all file upload requests based on Draft:SM City Sorsogon, as there is no way the draft is getting accepted. We can definitely remove any more requests in the future. ~ Eejit43 ( talk) 13:15, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
Hello, Victor Schmidt. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that
Draft:Nathan Vandergunst, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months
may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please
edit it again or
request that it be moved to your userspace.
If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.
Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot ( talk) 08:01, 25 May 2023 (UTC)
Hello, Victor Schmidt. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, " Nathan Vandergunst".
In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz Read! Talk! 07:43, 23 June 2023 (UTC)
Hi. I'm sorry - I forgot to thank you for your reply to my questions about pushpin maps. I gave up in the end - I had a look at Module:Location map/data/Indonesia, but it's "written in the the Lua programming language", which I don't know, and as I understand it, no module means no pushpin maps. I've just added the map I wanted lower down in the article. By the way Template:Location map doesn't mention pushpins at all :-) Regards Davidelit (Talk) 12:38, 9 August 2023 (UTC)
Mr. Victor Schmidt,
Greetings from Valliappan. I have contributed couple of articles earlier to Wikipedia. After a long gap I have forgotten how to create a new sandbox where I want to work on my new article and later move the page live. You have earlier helped to move article from sandbox. When I click on my sandbox I find redirect of earlier article.
I would appreciate if you could help me to create a new sandbox. Thanks for your time.
Best regards, Valliappan Kannappan ( talk) 07:02, 26 November 2023 (UTC)

Mr. Victor Schmidt,
Greetings from Valliappan.
I just move an article Ünichiral from my sandbox. Immediately the following message popped up.
"This sandbox is in the article namespace. Either move this page into your userspace, or remove the {{User sandbox}} template".
I couldn't set it right. I would appreciate if you could help me to resolve this. Thanks fõr your time.

as noted in unpublished observations by J. Galfrom the same section is editorializing and smells like an WP:OR fail. Having said that, I am convinced that you will need to do at least one pass over the entire draft to ensure it doesn't suffer from the same problems. As for guidelines, in addition to the above referenced, the rest of MOS:WTW (of which MOS:OP-ED is a part) might be usefull; and while this isn't your first article cross-checking with WP:YFA might also be an idea. I do not have an example of a similar mainspace article at hand becauseI'd need to know your definition of "similar", and, more important, that generally is a poor argument; try looking in Wikipedia:Good articles/Natural sciences#Chemistry and materials science or Wikipedia:Featured articles#Chemistry and mineralogy wether something fits. Courtesy Ping @ DMacks and Bensci54: so they can add something if they like. Hope this helps, Victor Schmidt ( talk) 10:20, 9 December 2023 (UTC)
As suggested, I have redrafted the article "Ünichiral". I believe I have done it reasonably well and comply with the guidelines of Wikipedia. Just now I have submitted the draft for review.

I dont understand why 18 citations coming from sources like the LA Times, YouTube interviews, Track and Field News, and major college Athletic website profiles are not considered to be reliable sources. And how can 18 citations be too few to meet the number requirement? OLYMPICHAMMER ( talk) 03:24, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
