File source problem with File:Nancay1.jpg

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) 18:33, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

Dickwolves controversy
I've removed this section which you added to the Penny Arcade (webcomic) article earlier today, as I don't think it's significant enough to be worth mentioning. See my comments at Talk:Penny Arcade (webcomic). Robofish (talk) 12:05, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

Research survey invitation
Greetings Zandperl-

My name is Randall Livingstone, and I am a doctoral student at the University of Oregon, studying digital media and online community. I am posting to invite you to participate in my research study exploring the work of Wikipedia editors who are members of WikiProject: Countering Systemic Bias. The online survey should take 20 to 25 minutes to complete and can be found here:

https://oregon.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_cSHzuwaQovaZ6ss

Your responses will help online communication researchers like me to better understand the collaborations, challenges, and purposeful work of Wikipedia editors like you. In addition, at the end of the survey you will have the opportunity to express your interest in a follow-up online interview with the researcher.

This research project has been reviewed and approved by the Wikimedia Research Committee as well as the Office for Protection of Human Subjects at the University of Oregon. For a detailed description of the project, please visit its Meta page. This survey is voluntary, and your confidentiality will be protected. You will have the choice of using your Wikipedia User Name during the research or creating a unique pseudonym. You may skip any question you choose, and you may withdraw at any time. By completing the survey, you are providing consent to participate in the research.

If you have any questions about the study, please contact me via my Talk Page (UOJComm) or via email. My faculty advisor is Dr. Ryan Light.

You should come hang out with us on the internetz!
Hi! I wanted to let you know that we have created an IRC channel for "countering systemic bias one new editor at a time", aka closing the gender gap! Come hang out at #wikimedia-gendergap if that subject interests you. We hope this channel can serve as a safe haven to hang out, talk about Wiki, brainstorming, women in Wikimedia, article alerts and foster friendships. I hope you join us! (And if you need any IRC help, just let me know!) See you there! SarahStierch (talk) 22:11, 21 August 2011 (UTC)

Your edit description on the Infinity Gems page
I'm sure it was unintentional, but please don't put spoilers in your edit descriptions like you did on Infinity Gems. Not everyone's seen the movie yet, and some of us would like to be surprised. Argento Surfer (talk) 12:15, 1 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the considered reply.
 * I know there's been some speculation on that particular point, but having not seen the movie, I have no way to know how important that particular detail may be. All I really have to go on is that I now know something I didn't before. I know I'm in the minority, but I've worked hard to be surprised by the movie - I haven't even watched a trailer for it yet. I'm glad it seems to be a minor detail, and I understand that articles will inevitably contain spoilers - it's why I'm not watching the AoU page.
 * At this time, I can't make a suggestion on how your summary could've been phrased differently. For obvious reasons, I haven't actually looked at your edit. I have tickets to see the movie Sunday. Perhaps we can talk more about this on Monday. :) Argento Surfer (talk) 19:26, 1 May 2015 (UTC)

IMDb as a source
I noticed that you recently used IMDB as a source for information in a biography article. Please note that per long-standing consensus, IMDb does not meet the reliable sourcing criteria for the inclusion of personal information in such articles. You can read more about the reasons for this here, here and here.-- Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 17:02, 27 October 2016 (UTC)
