Irreversible Damage
Regarding the article located here: Irreversible Damage - Wikipedia. The last sentence of the first paragraph notes "ROGD is not recognized as a medical diagnosis by any major professional institution nor is it backed by credible scientific evidence." Sorry! I did not intend to remove the sentence in its entirety, rather to add context. I apparently blundered the execution. It is not necessarily the case that the ROGD is not backed by credible scientific evidence, rather that there has been controversy surrounding studies purporting to show its validity. A more accurate statement might be something like, "ROGD is not recognized as a medical diagnosis by any major professional institution and has not been scientifically validated. Research into ROGD is ongoing and contentious among those studying sex and gender identity."

Please undo your edits. That information took a lot of effort to get. I dont understand why you took down the leadership section or the information about the memorial/fallen employees. All those people are on a wall at Central Office so I cant link them.

The part about the Freeway Service Patrol is also available to anyone who uses Google to verify my information. I am not good at doing Wiki edits so I would ask that you show those of us who cant do it some grace. I work at this agency so I have some insight as to what I am talking about. All my information is historically accurate. The part about the Statewide Traffic Management Center (TMC) is also accurate. It is its own office, so its capitalized.

Mistake on the page "Educational program
Hello. I believe the reversion was accidental. I would like you to revert this back to the last revision made by me. Thank you. 82.0.137.113 (talk) 11:31, 10 February 2024 (UTC)


 * Hello. It was not accidental. The content you added was about TV shows, whereas that page is about school curriculums. AntiDionysius (talk) 11:32, 10 February 2024 (UTC)

FYI
Usernames along the lines of "Mark at WidgetsUSA" are explicitly permitted by the username policy as long as they represent an individual. That, of course, doesn't mean they can't be blocked for spamming when it's blatant, just that it's better to report them to AIV than UAA (or COIN for edge cases). Best, HJ Mitchell &#124; Penny for your thoughts? 22:44, 11 February 2024 (UTC)

Invitation to join New pages patrol
Hello AntiDionysius! Thank you for your consideration. We hope to see you around! MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 15:20, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
 * The New Pages Patrol is currently struggling to keep up with the influx of new articles needing review. We could use a few extra hands to help.
 * We think that someone with your activity and experience is very likely to meet the guidelines for granting.
 * Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time, but it requires a strong understanding of Wikipedia’s CSD policy and notability guidelines.
 * Kindly read the tutorial before making your decision, and feel free to post on the project talk page with questions.
 * If patrolling new pages is something you'd be willing to help out with, please consider applying here.

New page reviewer granted
Hi AntiDionysius. Your account has been added to the " " user group. Please check back at the permissions page in case your user right is time-limited or probationary. This user group allows you to review new pages through the Curation system and mark them as patrolled, tag them for maintenance issues, or nominate them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at the New Pages Feed. New page reviewing is vital to maintaining the integrity of the encyclopedia. If you have not already done so, you must read the tutorial at New Pages Review, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the deletion policy. If you need any help or want to discuss the process, you are welcome to use the new page reviewer talk page or ask via the NPP Discord. In addition, please remember:
 * Be nice to new editors. They are usually not aware that they are doing anything wrong. Do make use of the message feature when tagging  pages for maintenance so that  they are aware.
 * You will frequently be asked by users to explain why their page is being deleted. Please be formal and polite in your approach to them – even if they are not.
 * If you are not sure what to do with a page, don't review it – just leave it for another reviewer.
 * Accuracy is more important than speed. Take your time to patrol each page, including checking for copyright violations using Earwig's copyright violation detector, checking for duplicate articles, and evaluating sources (both in the article, and if needed, via a Google search) for compliance with the general notability guideline.
 * Please review some of our flowcharts (1, 2) to help ensure you don't forget any steps.
 * Use the message feature to communicate with article creators and offer advice as much as possible.

The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you also may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. In cases of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, or long-term inactivity, the right may be withdrawn at administrator discretion. If you can read any languages other than English, please add yourself to the list of new page reviewers with language proficiencies. Hey man im josh (talk) 16:49, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
