You are now a Reviewer
Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 17:53, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

My "Foul Book" is published by request to hundreds of interested parties without interruption, anyone including you can get copy "FREE" by sending a request to administrator@jtolkien.com To put your comment in context I have disseminated my book 'Tolkien is Klone'it' since November 1999 yet to date not one single (legal action) has been initiated against me by a single member of the Tolkien family, says it all don't you think. What is "Fr John Tolkien may be dead" supposed to infer, the facts are he had a ten year opportunity to take "legal action" against me, he never did! However when I took action against him 'personally' he popped his clogs on the very morning the case was listed to be heard in the Royal Courts of Justice, it's in my book, you just couldn't make it up. Now for the sake of veracity let's see how long it takes you to delete my response keeping in mind I have copied this page and will reproduce it in a corner of my web site www.jtolkien.com to demonstrate you 'Solicitr' are just as cowardly as the Tolkien's when challenged by truth.

4th SS Polizei Division
Hi, thanks for unravelling 'DiNA' and 'Wirtschaft'. I have added some sort of explanation to the text. It might not be the best, so please, if you can think of anything better, then do not hesitate, edit away. Did you find anything out about the tatooing? Regards RASAM (talk) 22:19, 26 January 2011 (UTC)

Umlauts and strange letters
Hi Solicitr, I notice that you are using a rather convoluted method of generating umlauts in the 4th SS Polizei Division article. Until recently I was in the same boat (not anymore as I now have a German keyboard), but I found (I forget how), that if you put your cursor on the spot that requires the umlaut, go to the 'Insert' field at the bottom of the edit box and click the 'Latin' tag, you get all sorts of umlauts, 'ess-seds(ß), Grave and Acute accents and so on. Click on the one that you want and hey presto, it appears in the appropiate place. It might not be as quick as having the correct keyboard, but it certainly means not having to remember complicated pieces of code!

But then you probably know this already. Regards RASAM (talk) 22:32, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

World War II ship camouflage measures of the United States Navy
Hi, I see you've made quite a number of additions to this article in the last few days, but I don't see any new citations - some paragraphs are now entirely uncited, while in other cases there is new text inserted above an existing citation, which (if not from the named source) could be misleading. Could you please indicate which books or other reliable sources you have been using in the article? I haven't marked up "citations needed" but can of course do that if it would be helpful. With many thanks -- Chiswick Chap (talk) 18:06, 3 April 2013 (UTC)

Images in Ship camouflage measures
Hello again Solicitr, I am a bit unsure about two of the images in the article now.

The new image of Maryland does not add much to the reader's understanding of measure 1 - apart from being monochrome, it is very hard to see what if anything she is wearing. It also makes the first measure's row enormous and full of whitespace, of course. Perhaps it would be best removed. I'd remove it myself, actually, but for the fact that you seem to have reinstated the presence of 2 images of ships (Saratoga and Duluth) both wearing measure 32, Design 11A. Since the patterns shown are indeed very similar, I'm not sure I can see the logic for this - there's already Miami with 32, 1D in the same row, so again the whitespace is huge and problematic. If I recall, I removed one of the images a lot-of-editing-ago, so its reinstatement is a bit worrying as we haven't discussed it.

I'd propose to remove both Maryland and Saratoga (or Duluth) from the article, unless you have clear and cogent reasons to the contrary. If you do, then I suggest we devise a format which allows 2 images side-by-side to avoid the whitespace problem.

Thanks for your understanding. Chiswick Chap (talk) 17:53, 12 April 2013 (UTC)

... This one hasn't gone away. TheWellman has contributed (very sensibly) to the discussion on the article's talk page, proposing a list of things we might do. It seems clear that we need to keep the Duluth and Saratoga images, given his arguments, so I wonder if you'd like to suggest which of his approaches (if any) you'd favour? - All the best, Chiswick Chap (talk) 19:08, 14 April 2013 (UTC)

Totenkopf - explanation of the word
"head of Death" would be "Kopf des Todes" (grammatical name: Genitiv), could (according to the grammar rules) be rendered as "Todeskopf" (no such word is in use). "dead head" would be "toter Kopf", which nobody would say, because nobody says that "the head is living" or "the head is dead"; "toter Kopf" makes no sense. When you say "Totenkopf" it means head of a Toter, that is head of a dead person (Toter). 87.150.243.37 (talk) 00:07, 12 September 2013 (UTC)

This is an automated message from MadmanBot. I have performed a search with the contents of World War II US Navy dazzle camouflage measures 31, 32 and 33: destroyers, and it appears to be very similar to another Wikipedia page: World War II US Navy dazzle camouflage measures 31, 32 and 33: aircraft carriers. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page&mdash; you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case.

If you are trying to move or copy content from one article to a different one, please see Copying within Wikipedia and be sure you have acknowledged the duplication of material in an edit summary to preserve attribution history.

November 2013
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war&#32; according to the reverts you have made on Flight deck. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement. Please be particularly aware, Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states: If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. ''Also, please remember that referring to another editor as a liar is considered a personal attack. Please remember WP:BRD, and that edit summaries are NOT for discussion - discuss the issue at the article talk page. If this continues you may be blocked and/or the page locked to force discussion instead of continued edit-warring.'' The Bushranger One ping only 05:17, 11 November 2013 (UTC)

World War II ship camouflage measures of the United States Navy‎
I disagree with your assessment that Admiralty camouflage section work begun in October 1940 and reflecting combat experience through 1942 is not germane to USN patterns promulgated in 1943. The remaining wording inappropriately overstates the World War I efforts of Everett Warner in developing the USN patterns based on more recent Mid-Ocean Escort Force cooperation with the Royal Navy.

Aragorn reference needed
In this edit back in Jan 2013, you say Tolkien wrote that Aragorn would appear as a weather-beaten forty-five to those unfamiliar with his lineage.

Use of 'Unprecedented' on the 2014 Baltimore Orioles page
Hi Solicitr, 'Unprecedented' doesn't simply mean 'never been done before'. Rather, it means that something LIKE that has never been done, to the point where this new event is the model/guide for how to address subsequent events, some new rule or change as a result, some significant impact. A good litmus test is : anytime an event happens - ask what the impact is or what changed because of it.

Examples of unprecedented events are: Babe Ruth home runs (that caused MLB to make a rule change pertaining to walk off home runs), Curt Flood suing to get out of his contract, thereby ushering in Free Agency, etc.

You can read more about this on my talk page, where lively discussion has been going on. I gave some examples, and I also listed definitions from Merriam dictionary. Most sports related events and records are NOT 'unprecedented'.

I am reviewing articles for the improper use of this word. Please reconsider this. But if you still feel strongly about it, I won't start an edit war. Cheers, Brad. Entirelybs (talk) 15:17, 30 July 2015 (UTC)

Trivial awards
Hi Solicitr!

Sorry to pester you, I added content to the Ernst Röhm and Hermann Göring articles. I'm having some trouble with one editor about what is allowed to be added and what isn't, regarding linking to an existing stand-alone article. I'm not asking for you to take sides, I'm trying to get some guidance here. I added to the content of the article by creating an Awards and Decorations section. I then added some awards and decorations and provided links to their own stand-alone pages on wiki. One editor in particular has now decided that some of them are "trivial" and I, and presumably anyone, is not allowed to refer to these stand-alone articles. I have had several sections of added content on the Röhm page, and others, deleted because of this so-called trivial/menial business, yet when I've asked for a hard and fast list of all the articles I'm not allowed to refer to via links, I've not been given one. I'm not sure why a stand-alone article exists if you're not allowed to link to it? What do you think I should do here? Just never refer to an existing article via a link or persevere and hope for the best. As it stands now I just add links and wait and see if they are deleted under this new totally ambiguous decision by this editor, and then wait for the inevitable aggressive warning. Not sure what to do! Sorry for bothering you Troy von Tempest (talk) 02:44, 16 July 2018 (UTC)

File source problem with File:Reichsf.-SS Kragenspiegel.gif
Thank you for uploading File:Reichsf.-SS Kragenspiegel.gif. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a [ list of your uploads]. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Refs
Hi, when adding sourced content, could you please add complete refs per WP:CITE? As an example, I've completed the ref you just added to the Arleigh Burke-class article (see here). This will help your fellow editors a great deal as they won't have to do it and it will also be of assistance to both readers and editors as it makes the cite info readily available (especially for example, when the link is dead).

OPDS improper copy/paste move
What you did with Open Publication Distribution system and OPDS (Disambiguation) and is what is called an improper copy/paste move (see Special:Diff/882089074/935588806). That loses the article history. I moved the pages around to fix the history for Open Publication Distribution system. Please do not do that again. If you want to move a page use the page's move feature. If that does not work (e.g., existing target), you can request it via a number of methods including db-move, or WP:RM. For more information see H:MOVE on how to properly move pages. Thank you. —Uzume (talk) 11:31, 15 January 2020 (UTC)

Quick question about Longball (game)
Hi Solicitr,

Thanks for your contributions. I just wanna quickly check on an article you created recently, Longball (game), as I do not have expertise in this area. Is there any difference between Longball (game) and Bat and ball games? If they are talking about essentially the same thing, my view is that we can redirect the Longball (game) page to bat and ball games. Please let me know what you think about this. Happy editing --Dps04 (talk) 16:43, 3 May 2020 (UTC)

Hmm. A good point. I think that the one could be folded into the other, but I think Bat and ball games out to be re-organized to divide its rather all-one-heap list into categories, following Henderson and Maigaard. Solicitr (talk) 16:58, 3 May 2020 (UTC)


 * If you agree that one could be folded into the other, would you find it okay for me to merge the contents of the articles into the Bat and ball games article? It seems that Bat and ball games is the more searched for title here, but I agree with you that useful information could be extracted from Longball (game) --Dps04 (talk) 20:08, 3 May 2020 (UTC)

OK, go ahead Solicitr (talk) 20:36, 3 May 2020 (UTC)
