Hello
- PS: I note that that German town article was only ONE LINE LONG!!! -but, purely coincidentally, has now been nicely expanded to at least Stub-class in the last few hours. A CSD nomination certainly seems to focus the mind around here Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi 17:29, 22 November 2013 (UTC)

Just a quick not to let you know I mentioned you in passing on this thread. - Nick Thorne talk 22:31, 25 January 2014 (UTC)
- Cheers. I think that was a good post.
Maybe you misunderstood
I see you posted a red link on my page. I am assuming you are talking about the user who has again filed something against me. As the comments relate to the issue of edit warring, they are certainly not an attack. They are critical information about the former Ip now called Shwan God. The user has a TRACK RECORD of edit warring not only against me but against all the editors who contribute to Moors. even reverting adminsTake time to review the remarks, and I will listen to your advice on keeping cool. --Inayity (talk) 16:00, 27 January 2014 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of Henry Percy, 3rd Earl of Northumberland
Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Henry Percy, 3rd Earl of Northumberland 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.

Your GA nomination of Henry Percy, 3rd Earl of Northumberland
The article Henry Percy, 3rd Earl of Northumberland you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needing to be addressed. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass; otherwise it may fail. See Talk:Henry Percy, 3rd Earl of Northumberland for things which need to be addressed. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of Hchc2009 -- Hchc2009 (talk) 16:50, 5 February 2014 (UTC)
- Fortuna, just checking all's okay with the review. Do you need some more time to address the issues? Hchc2009 (talk) 14:28, 13 February 2014 (UTC)
- Just a reminder that there were only a tiny of couple of changes left to make, and it should be good to pass then. Hchc2009 (talk) 19:33, 1 March 2014 (UTC)
I know it became a bit frustrationg with all the attack going on this page but maybe you can find a solution to this. I have already made my case to neutral point of view noticeboard 10 days ago (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Neutral_point_of_view/Noticeboard#2011_Turkish_sports_corruption_scandal_article) and waiting a response. As I stated there this article lacks a neutral point of view and that is why some editors are attacking the article, I know their way is not the right way to do things and as you can see from here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:93.115.94.149 I am trying to make things right. Please, help me about this.Rivaner (talk) 14:02, 14 February 2014 (UTC)

No, this is not what I am doing. For example just look at the articles last paragraph I have stated some names who were involved with this "scandal" from day 1 and that is the first time their names are mentinoted. That is why I am telling you this article lacks neutral point of view.Rivaner (talk) 14:12, 14 February 2014 (UTC)

I see. Thanks for your time then.Rivaner (talk) 14:23, 14 February 2014 (UTC)

- cos of them IPs, you mean? Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi 16:27, 14 February 2014 (UTC)
What is up with them? Do you think it has something do with LardoBalsamico's semi-protection request for the article denied on the grounds that both me and him are autoconfirmed users and also the editor or admin stated that there is not enough vandalism to make it fully protected. Is it just a coincidience or have I read to many conspiricay theories these days? :)Rivaner (talk) 16:36, 14 February 2014 (UTC)

- AFD? It was WP:PROD, read "PROD must only be used if no opposition is to be expected.

- You're doing good work on the page- but remember the addition of sources is not enough- they must conform to WP:RS in order to prove notability. Cheers! Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi 10:28, 2 September 2014 (UTC)

- That is unfortunate. Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi 10:36, 2 September 2014 (UTC)
- why ? because i did used Polish Society of the Phonographic Industry as sources of certifications ?, and that in your opinion is not a good source, tell me then what source should i use, do i have to mention that all certificates from poland on Wiki have the same sources as i provided in AMJ article 66.102.129.154 (talk) 10:43, 2 September 2014 (UTC)
- iTunes....? PLEASE TAKE THIS TO THE TALK PAGE AS I REQUESTED LAST TIME. K'you! Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi 10:45, 2 September 2014 (UTC)
- all articles use Itunes as source for digital download format, release dates are sourced with Interia.pl, you cant or you won't answer my question, tell me what source i need to use for certification, as i understand you have problem with Itunes, so i can remove those links, then everything will be fine as i presume ? 66.102.129.154 (talk) 10:50, 2 September 2014 (UTC)

Thanks
Thanks for again reverting vandalism to my user talk page. I find it odd that two or three IP users have appeared recently and started with vandalizing my pages for no apparent reason. I find it hard to believe this is random, although perhaps there is a small chance that is. I think they (if more than one person) must have edited under other IP numbers, or even user names, and have had vandalism reverted by me. In turn, that may have led to blocks but not directly by me since I am not an administrator. I suppose we just have to tolerate this sort of thing and get the vandals blocked if we are to continue to help keep Wikipedia free of the errors and vandalisms this type of person places on pages.

Copyright checks when performing AfC reviews
Hello Serial Number 54129/Archives/2015. This message is part of a mass mailing to people who appear active in reviewing articles for creation submissions. First of all, thank you for taking part in this important work! I'm sorry this message is a form letter – it really was the only way I could think of to covey the issue economically. Of course, this also means that I have not looked to see whether the matter is applicable to you in particular.
The issue is in rather large numbers of copyright violations ("copyvios") making their way through AfC reviews without being detected (even when easy to check, and even when hallmarks of copyvios in the text that should have invited a check, were glaring). A second issue is the correct method of dealing with them when discovered.
If you don't do so already, I'd like to ask for your to help with this problem by taking on the practice of performing a copyvio check as the first step in any AfC review. The most basic method is to simply copy a unique but small portion of text from the draft body and run it through a search engine in quotation marks. Trying this from two different paragraphs is recommended. (If you have any question about whether the text was copied from the draft, rather than the other way around (a "backwards copyvio"), the Wayback Machine is very useful for sussing that out.)
If you do find a copyright violation, please do not decline the draft on that basis. Copyright violations need to be dealt with immediately as they may harm those whose content is being used and expose Wikipedia to potential legal liability. If the draft is substantially a copyvio, and there's no non-infringing version to revert to, please mark the page for speedy deletion right away using {{db-g12|url=URL of source}}. If there is an assertion of permission, please replace the draft article's content with {{subst:copyvio|url=URL of source}}.
Some of the more obvious indicia of a copyvio are use of the first person ("we/our/us..."), phrases like "this site", or apparent artifacts of content written for somewhere else ("top", "go to top", "next page", "click here", use of smartquotes, etc.); inappropriate tone of voice, such as an overly informal tone or a very slanted marketing voice with weasel words; including intellectual property symbols (™,®); and blocks of text being added all at once in a finished form with no misspellings or other errors.
I hope this message finds you well and thanks again you for your efforts in this area. Best regards--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 02:20, 18 November 2014 (UTC).
Sent via--MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 02:20, 18 November 2014 (UTC)
Sorry, not a copyvio. When I went to look at the linked site, your speedy tag had appeared on it. At the bottom of the page, it clearly acknowledged Wikipedia as a source. Mirrors like this are always a bit of a problem, but especially the ones that don't make the required acknowledgement. With older articles, it's possible go go into the history and see how the text changes over a period. Any sudden rewrite may be suspect, especially if the editor concerned has edited few other subjects. It's always a good idea to check the bottom of the 'source' page, though. If there's a date there that's before the appearance of the text here, it's usually clear cut. Copyvio can be a bit of a minefield at times. Peridon (talk) 13:53, 24 November 2014 (UTC)
- No worries- obviously didn't scroll, eh! Many thanks for your advice though. Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi 13:55, 24 November 2014 (UTC)
The advantage of peer review
Apropos of my little sermon on my talk page, have a quick look at this peer review, which I have just closed, and see how much my draft was improved thanks to the comments from our colleagues. At GAN one is up against one editor's viewpoint, but at PR you get an invaluable range. I really would take King Richard there if I were you. Good luck! Tim riley talk 22:30, 24 November 2014 (UTC)
- Cheers Tim, we appreciate that. Done! Although I guess it will take a while (backlog?) but thanks for the advice. I'm sure he will be as comfortable at Peer Review as under a car park! Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi
- I shall most certainly look in, and I daresay others who keep an eye on what I'm up to may do so too. Tim riley talk 23:51, 24 November 2014 (UTC)

Wow! That's a turn. I have some very strong doubts on the first paragraph of the Childhood section, it's too long and boring and it just does not flow imho, but am too tired now to rationally think about it. Once I have a draught for a compromise I will post it on the peer review page and see what the others say. By the way, there is another entry in the Childhood section that sounds "sticked" in place, I refer to the one about Richard losing interest in Middleham in adulthood. We both know how that entry came about, hope the misunderstanding has been cleared by my following entry. I did not remove your entry out of respect for a piece of information that was adequately backed up by referenced sources, but no matter how I try, it just does not sound right to me in the context. No tragedy, I suppose. Moreover, if I have to judge on my family's lifestyle, posterity should think my husband lost interest in his home and family since documents (credit cards statements, flight tickets, etc.) place him more ofter away from home (for work) than with his wife and children. Does that mean he cares less for us than he used to? Or how can we relate documental clues to such personal feelings as attachment, etc.? Had we possibly better leave this speculation? Just think about it. Talk soon. Isananni (talk) 21:04, 27 November 2014 (UTC)

Éric Abidal - Overall
Hi there FIM, from Portugal,
if you notice the edit history, my edits (this IP is standard, so I'm pretty sure I am the only one in the world using it) in this footballer's article were neither inconstructive nor were they reverted, I have been reverting vandalism or akin like crazy in this article and others OK?
Since your message also contains a welcoming message and suggestions on creating an account, the following: thank you for the former. About the latter, I had an account for five years or so (and have been editing for eight overall), AlwaysLearning, but asked that it be destroyed after a sick run-in with a troll that wanted to vandalize articles only to find my stern opposition, this "person" then resorted to taunting and insulting and I, sick of it all, had my account vanished with the intention of leaving forever.
However, quickly found that I could not, maybe I'm "wiki-hooked" or something :) Happy holidays to you, alea jacta est --84.90.219.128 (talk) 18:50, 20 December 2014 (UTC)
