I am having issues with my laptop that make work on wiki very hard right now. Please understand my ability to respond or help will be very limited. Thanks.


See an issue needing an answer on my talk page that you could help with? Feel free to answer!

I will absolutely not respond to your comment unless you follow the following simple rules in placing a comment on my talk page.

  • 1)You have read my FAQ below and haven't asked a question answered by it.
  • 2)Appropriately post a new section (see button/link above) at the BOTTOM of the page
  • 3)Do not ask me to just generically fix your page without a specific question, I'm not interested in fixing everyone's page for them.
  • 4)You need to hyperlink to the page you are discussing, this is probably most important. If it's remotely difficult for me to figure out what page you're talking about, I'm not going to waste my time.

Sorry if those four things seem harsh, but I review and patrol hundreds of pages a day and can't keep up with all the replies.

FAQ You declined a page I submitted for AfC and have a question... If that question is directly answered by one of the hyperlinks posted after I reviewed it, I will not answer you. You'd be surprised how often it happens. The posted links are posted for a reason!

Why did you not leave a comment when you tagged my page? I typically won't unless I think the issue may be unclear. New page patrol is overwhelmed (~50,000 pages to be reviewed with only ~1000 being currently reviewed every week) and if I spent the time to explain every tag, I wouldn't be able to review even a third of the pages I do now.

I completely disagree with a tag you placed on my page!! If you disagree with a tag, please state why on the article's talk page and leave a note here for me to review it. If you think the tag was a blatant error on my part (it happens, sorry), then please revert the edit and leave me a message letting me know that was the case.

I don't see a conversation or message I posted on your talk page... Check the archives, conversations are typically automatically archived after five days. If you wish to comment on an archived section, please move it back to the main page. I do not regularly monitor my archive pages.

Why do you keep tagging my page? Do you have something against me? No. Occasionally after you address certain issues, more issues will arise on my re-review. For example, let's say I first tagged your page for having no references, after you add references I may go back and add a tag for no in-line citations (which would have been irrelevant before there were references). Also, if there are multiple, small issues with your page and I can see you're new, I might just tag a few things at a time instead of overwhelming a new user. Please do not take any of my tags personally. I do not target people. I go straight down the list on the new page patrol. I do however regularly watch pages I review, which is why you might see me come up often in edits on your page.

Will you help me fix issues you tagged on my page? Typically not, unless I need a break from new page patrol. Why? I used to do this and it got to be very overwhelming. I feel the actual new page patrol needs my help more than helping to fix things on already existing pages (not to mention there's others much more qualified than me for most fixes suchs as categories, copyediting, etc). It doesn't hurt to ask though, but please do not be offended if I do not help or don't respond. The tea house is your friend, use it. Note: I will always clarify on tags, though. All in all,don't hope the house will build itself!

I would like to give you an award, thank you note, or barnstar... Thanks! You're awesome. And I always love the support. But please put it on my user page, not my talk page. :)

18:53:31, 19 October 2015 review of submission by CommPac


Jay H. Shidler's submission keeps getting rejected due to tone of the article and being neutral. I feel this article has been revised and edited substantially to make it more neutral, but you folks keep rejecting it. Jay Shidler is a very influential person here in Hawaii and to get him recognition on Wikipedia would be what his name deserves. Pleas help!!! Shere'e Young 18:53, 19 October 2015 (UTC)

Commpac, the article is a start but still needs more third-party sources (such as news and magazine) to gain weight and depth. Cheers, SwisterTwister talk 18:34, 21 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Digital scenography

Good morning,

You reviewed my submission for Digital Scenography, and ask for more reliable sources. I do not know what else can be added.

Can you give me more input?

Thank you very much

Philip Trager article has new references and authoritative quotations

Hi Sulfurboy, I've just finished my second revision of the article on photographer Philip Trager <<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Philip_Trager>>. As requested, I have included four new references and added two new substantive quotations (plus references). This second revision revealed that I initially missed marking a few publication titles for italicization, so that has been remedied as well. I hope it will now pass muster and thank you (and your colleagues) for continuing to hone this brief biography. PeterPBGD (talk) 19:04, 25 October 2015 (UTC)PeterPBGD 10/25/2015[reply]
