Welcome!

Hello, Krakkos, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your edits have not conformed to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and may be removed if they have not yet been. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media. Always remember to provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles. As well, all new biographies of living people must contain at least one reliable source.

If you are stuck and looking for help, please see the guide for citing sources or come to the new contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

Your GA nomination of Goths

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Goths you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of Jens Lallensack -- Jens Lallensack (talk) 21:20, 3 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

large number of hidden reverts with misleading edsum?

Was it on purpose that you did not mention all the reverts in this edit or by mistake? The reverts being made are all regarding very concrete concerns you've had quite some time to explain on the talk page also. If this was just done by mistake, can I ask you to fix that? If not, then I think the onus is on you to give justifications on the talk page. As pointed out in detail, the versions of these sentences you have reverted to are badly sourced and appear to be a POV fork section which deliberately argues against another better sourced part of the article.--Andrew Lancaster (talk) 17:38, 8 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This should be discussed at Talk:Germanic peoples. Krakkos (talk) 21:03, 8 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Nope. As you know very well, the article relevant topics ARE being discussed at the article talk page. This message to you personally as an editor, is about your editing approach. Article talk pages are not the right place to point out systematic problems with individual editors, and it is always good to assume good faith as much as possible anyway, and first try to explain concerns to other editors, giving them a chance to explain any misunderstandings etc. Do you think there were any misunderstandings or errors?--Andrew Lancaster (talk) 21:53, 8 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

New Page Reviewer newsletter February 2020

Hello Krakkos,

Source Guide Discussion

The first NPP source guide discussion is now underway. It covers a wide range of sources in Ghana with the goal of providing more guidance to reviewers about sources they might see when reviewing pages. Hopefully, new page reviewers will join others interested in reliable sources and those with expertise in these sources to make the discussion a success.

Redirects

New to NPP? Looking to try something a little different? Consider patrolling some redirects. Redirects are relatively easy to review, can be found easily through the New Pages Feed. You can find more information about how to patrol redirects at WP:RPATROL.

Discussions and Resources

There is an ongoing discussion around changing notifications for new editors who attempt to write articles.
A recent discussion of whether Michelin starred restraunts are notable was archived without closure.
A resource page with links pertinent for reviewers was created this month.
A proposal to increase the scope of G5 was withdrawn.

Refresher

Geographic regions, areas and places generally do not need general notability guideline type sourcing. When evaluating whether an article meets this notability guideline please also consider whether it might actually be a form of WP:SPAM for a development project (e.g. PR for a large luxury residential development) and not actually covered by the guideline.
