Thanks for being a guardian angel 💗 Celestina007 (talk) 21:36, 06 April 2017 (UTC)

@Celestina007: Thank's Celestina700, I think I can honesty say that's the first time anyone has called me that. I don't mind helping at all, but it's nice to know someone out there does appreciate the cleanup work I do. Cmr08 (talk) 20:48, 6 April 2017 (UTC)

On Ebele Okaro

@Cmr08 In your edit here [Click me] , you corrected me on using promotional tones, but technicaly I don't do that on purpose, my Wikipedia uses a citation generator, so I don't create any citations manually all I do is copy-paste a url to the citation generator and it engineers a citation using its own terminologies or words. I'm letting you know this because you have corrected me on this issue before & if I don't tell you what really is Happening, you would probably think I'm just headstrong or excessively stubborn.

@Celestina007: Wait a second, I never corrected you for using promotional tones, I removed the promotional tag lines from the citation templates. I know how they got there, it happens quite frequently, but I still had to say what I was doing in an edit summary when I removed them. They are the tag lines the website itself uses, so I want to be clear, I never said you were promoting anything. Cmr08 (talk) 23:59, 6 April 2017 (UTC)

Is placing one footnote on George Makdisi article sufficient to remove notability template?

Dear Cmr08 I noticed you put a template on the George Makdisi article advising that the article didn't have enough footnotes to establish notability. I just added the first footnote. Is having one footnote sufficient to establish notability? I would think it would be. I, or other editors, can then add additional footnotes subsequently. Therefore may I remove notability template? Thank you, Greg Dahlen (talk) 11:36, 18 April 2017 (UTC)

Hi!

I see you have entertained in the past the notion of fixing dashes. I have thousands to go, would you help me? --ExperiencedArticleFixer (talk) 21:12, 21 April 2017 (UTC)

@ExperiencedArticleFixer:, dashes are one of the common MOS fixes I make when I come across them. I don't mind helping, is there a list or something that you want me to work on? Cmr08 (talk) 22:38, 21 April 2017 (UTC)

@Cmr08:, thanks for answering! The answer is yes, here's is a batch that can keep us bussy for months. Most of these articles need replacing dashes for ndashes, and fix spacing according to MoS. There is no bot for that... Let me know. Regards. --ExperiencedArticleFixer (talk) 23:00, 21 April 2017 (UTC)

@ExperiencedArticleFixer:, ok, I'll take a look at this tomorrow. I'll start at end of category so we don't end up checking the same articles. Is this ok? Cmr08 (talk) 23:11, 21 April 2017 (UTC)

@Cmr08: This is great. Thank you so much! --ExperiencedArticleFixer (talk) 23:17, 21 April 2017 (UTC)

Brendan Murphy Page

Hi. I hope it's OK to post a question on your page. Sorry to bother you again (you are just so helpful ;) I wanted to ask you another question about the page I created for Brendan Murphy. At the top of the page it says this: "This page is a new unreviewed article. This template should be removed once the page has been reviewed by someone other than its creator; if necessary the page should be appropriately tagged for cleanup" You looked at the page so I assumed that it has been reviewed. What do you need to do for this message to disappear? Many thanks (Siri2011 (talk) 14:17, 7 August 2017 (UTC))

Flagging Issues

Cmr08, first of all, thank you for contributing to the article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Taillard.

I am coming to you with this matter because you have made edits to this article already and, according to your profile, you have more experience in Wikipedia than anyone else addressing this matter. The person who flagged my page (reddogsix) seems to have disappeared, and the other editors are too hesitant to get involved in a flag they didn't issue, themselves.

The reason I am writing you is that this article has been flagged for "possible violations of neutrality". If you read the Talk page on that article, it describes the circumstances of the page's creation, and we fully acknowledge that we know the person as a colleague. It is true that this potentially creates a conflict of interest. However, I have asked 2 separate editors to specify whether any violations of neutrality exist in the article, every time without response. As I am sure you are aware, simply because someone who knows the person contributes to an article does not inherently mean that the contributed content lacks neutrality. The article has since been edited several times by 4 or 5 different editors, as well as 3-4 other members of the public. Would you mind very much assessing the article to determine if the article needs any "cleaning", as the warning states? If it does, then it can be easily changed. If it does not, though, then I would appreciate the warning being removed from the article.

The 2nd warning is a possible lack of notability. I have described to the editor who flagged the article (again, reddogsix) that the person meets the Wikipedia qualifications for notability as an academic as well as an author. He responded stating that the article just seems to barely meet the criteria and that "the number of Worldcat entries would support notability", but he has seemed to disappear before removing the flag.

No matter your determination on the matter, I would like to finally get it resolved.

Thank you in advance for your consideration. Mtaillard (talk) 17:39, 8 September 2017 (UTC)

@Mtaillard: As far as I can tell, the only edit I made to your page was adding several categories. I'm not sure why you think I have more experience dealing with the issues mentioned than the other editors involved, because I can say with 100% certainty that the other editors you are dealing with are far more experienced than I am with dealing with the issues you address or really anything to do with Wikipedia. I cleanup articles, fix manual of style errors, add categories etc. I have never been involved with anything that has to do with tagging pages for conflict of interest, like I said helped out by adding a few categories to the page. The editors you are dealing with are good, well experienced editors at many aspects of Wikipedia. If they say they find issues with the article, I wouldn't doubt them, they deal with them all the time. Cmr08 (talk) 22:42, 8 September 2017 (UTC)

@Cmr08: My mistake. Looking at your profile, it appeared like you have been more active for a longer period. I suppose that doesn't mean more experience dealing with the same issues, though. Still, the person who flagged me sounded like they were going to remove the "notability" flag, and then they just disappeared. No one can get hold of him, and no one seems to want to remove flags that someone else placed. What do you suggest? Mtaillard (talk) 22:48, 8 September 2017 (UTC)

@Mtaillard: I would suggest giving other editors time to get back to you. Wikipedia is not their job, they have lives to live like everyone else. It looks like reddogsix was offline for about 12 hours, probably working, sleeping, or whatever they do when not on Wikipedia. Edit history shows they have been making edits for the last little while, so I'm sure they will eventually get back to you. Cmr08 (talk) 23:08, 8 September 2017 (UTC)

Need Your Help

Hello @Cmr08: Repeatedly I am editing these pages from IP vandalism -

• List of programs broadcast by Star Plus
• List of programs broadcast by Sony Entertainment Television (India)
• List of programs broadcast by Zee TV

But certain IP address are again putting that incorrect things(Unsourced additions, adding time slots, good faith edits etc.) and now they are attacking me with messages to the effect that i should not try to change things. I strongly feel these pages need protection from such unwanted edits. Please look into the matter, Thanks :Sidaq pratap/^talk 11 September 2017; 06:02 (UTC)

Hi @Sidaq pratap:, I have also reverted vandalism and other nonsense in some of these and similar articles over the last little while. However I'm not an admin, so I have nothing to do with page protection. WP:Requests for page protection is probably your best bet. There are instructions explaining how to go about requesting protection. I hope this helps. Cmr08 (talk) 06:35, 11 September 2017 (UTC)

Help concerning Category pages

Dear @Cmr08: I uploaded a page today, Gortclohy, County Kerry. When I uploaded an image for it to Wikimedia Commons, using the upload wizard, the category of 'Townlands of County Kerry' did not appear as a drop-down in the text field, but townlands of other Irish Counties did. I began the process of creating a new category and while I was doing this I found, through another Wikipedia page, that there exists a category page called Townlands of County Kerry. Is this just a problem with the upload wizard? There was a 'Townlands of Ireland' which is what I've settled for until you can advise. Thanks Dm4244 (talk) 22:11, 10 October 2017 (UTC)

Your correction on Knanaya Region

I appreciate the corrections you made. I am new in this. So this is a learning experience for me. I will be careful on this in the future. Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jacobbijo1 (talk • contribs) 13:40, 23 November 2017 (UTC)

Hi @Jacobbijo1:, it's no problem, I figured you were new and didn't know all about manual of style yet. Just a heads up, looking at your articles, there's some potential issues. You have added all kinds of external links directly to the text, where they are not supposed to be linked. Any links in the text should be wikilinks to other Wikipedia articles. If there is no Wikipedia article, then there should be no link. External links are not replacements. I cleaned up one of the articles you edited Cherpunkal. Just look at that one and see what I did. When I get a chance I'll take a look and see if I can fix other manual of style for you. Any help, just let me know. Cmr08 (talk) 19:34, 23 November 2017 (UTC)

Hi @Cmr08:, Thanks again. Now I got it. I am also now reviewing the Wiki help. I understand that I have to learn more. Please correct me for all mistakes. I will take out the external links in "Knanaya Region." Jacobbijo1 (talk) 21:16, 23 November 2017 (UTC)

New Page Reviewing

Hello, Cmr08. As one of Wikipedia's most experienced Wikipedia editors, Would you please consider becoming a New Page Reviewer? Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time but it requires a good understanding of Wikipedia policies and guidelines; currently Wikipedia needs experienced users at this task. (After gaining the flag, patrolling is not mandatory. One can do it at their convenience). But kindly read the tutorial before making your decision. Thanks. — Insertcleverphrasehere (or here) 09:45, 6 December 2017 (UTC)

Articles for Creation Reviewing

Hello, Cmr08. AfC submissions Random submission ~6 weeks 1,201 pending submissions to update I recently sent you an invitation to join NPP, but you also might be the right candidate for another related project, AfC, which is also extremely backlogged. Would you please consider becoming an Articles for Creation reviewer? Articles for Creation reviewers help new users learn the ropes of creating their first articles, and identify whether topics are suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia. Reviewing drafts doesn't take much time but it requires a good understanding of Wikipedia inclusion policies and guidelines; currently Wikipedia needs experienced users at this task. (After requesting to be added to the project, reviewing is not mandatory. One can do it at their convenience). But kindly read the reviewing instructions before making your decision. Thanks. — Insertcleverphrasehere (or here) 02:20, 29 December 2017 (UTC)

Thank you @Cmr08

Dear Cmr08 thank you for your contributionJakelewis2 (talk) 09:39, 8 January 2018 (UTC)

Dear Cmr08 thank you for helping. I did not understand when you commented saying 'Relationship with Politics: fix header per manual of style'? I am new and I appreciate the support, including the help you provided with fixing a citation. ThanksJakelewis2 (talk) 10:03, 8 January 2018 (UTC)

@Jakelewis2:, I meant I was putting the header in the correct format that follows Wikipedia's manual of style. See WP:Head, headers are in sentence case, which is why I put the header in sentence case. Cmr08 (talk) 01:24, 9 January 2018 (UTC)

Dear Cmr08 thanks for the explanation and the advise you gave me for not linking common words. Jakelewis2 (talk) 06:26, 9 January 2018 (UTC)

Hie Cmr08 sorry to bother you, I thought I was doing the right thing in terms of using the <ref>. Maybe I didn't understand your correction. I looked at other source codes and it seemed like the full stop goes before the <ref> and the <ref> goes after the statement.Jakelewis2 (talk) 07:35, 11 January 2018 (UTC)

Maybe I can read your articles Cmr08, to see how you cite sorry to bother you I really appreciate your help. As for the header I was following headers from other articles I saw. For example ==header== was what I saw in other articles.Jakelewis2 (talk) 07:35, 11 January 2018 (UTC)

Thank you Cmr08 I see now that what you meant was that the . goes before the <ref>Jakelewis2 (talk) 07:55, 11 January 2018 (UTC)

I am now getting used to the platform now thanks Jakelewis2 (talk) 07:55, 11 January 2018 (UTC)
