Hello, Etriusus, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Shalor and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.
I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

Hi! I saw that you nominated the article on the Creighton Preparatory School for Good Article consideration. I want you to keep in mind that putting an article through the Good Article process can take a long time, sometimes even months to be completed and it's expected that you will be monitoring the article if there are any concerns that need to be addressed, even if the class is over. I can't review it, as I'm involved with your class. Here are the things they will be looking at, based on their assessment template:
Offhand here are my notes for the article:
They may have more suggestions that are more nitpicky, which is why I wanted to caution you, as this can be a fairly labor intensive process. Shalor (Wiki Ed) ( talk) 19:53, 10 April 2019 (UTC)
Hi Etriusus,
I saw your work on articles related to anarchism and wanted to say hello, as I work in the topic area too. If you haven't already, you might want to watch our noticeboard for Wikipedia's coverage of anarchism, which is a great place to ask questions, collaborate, discuss style/structure precedent, and stay informed about content related to anarchism. Take a look for yourself!
And if you're looking for other juicy places to edit, consider expanding a stub, adopting a cleanup category, or participating in one of our current formal discussions.
Feel free to say hi on my talk page and let me know if these links were helpful (or at least interesting). Hope to see you around. czar 10:31, 25 April 2019 (UTC)
I'm going to add a large amount of info to The Anarchist Cookbook page, you can see my planned edits on the front of my page. I would appreciate it if you could repair the links once I take the edits live, I've been having issue with that and I'll try to fix it prior to uploading but I'm uncertain if it'll work. Etriusus ( talk) 18:08, 29 April 2019 (UTC)
Thanks for contributing to the article
Creighton Preparatory School . However, one of Wikipedia's core policies is that material must be
verifiable and attributed to
reliable sources. You have recently used citations which copied, or
mirrored, material from Wikipedia. This leads to a
circular reference and is not acceptable. Most mirrors are clearly labeled as such, but some are in violation of our license and do not provide the correct attribution. Please help by adding alternate sources to the article you edited! If you need any help or clarification, you can look at
Help:Contents/Editing Wikipedia or ask at
Wikipedia:New contributors' help page, or just ask me. Thank you.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Aquinas College, Perth, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Athletics.

Hi! Some of your recent edits removed the WP Anarchism template from a number of talk pages clearly within scope, e.g., [1] [2]. The template should be restored if you can revisit/revert those edits. In the case of my two examples, there is no defining connection to "philosophy" and as such those banners should be removed (not the "anarchism" one). The banner overlap is an artifact of unfinished work when the anarchism project split from the philosophy project. When eventually complete, the anarchism parameter will be phased out of the philosophy banner. Also, if helpful for the future, the WP:RATER tool makes this sort of classification much easier. czar 06:17, 13 July 2021 (UTC)

Dear fellow editor,
I am Piotr Konieczny, a sociologist of new media at Hanyang University (and User:Piotrus on Wikipedia). I would like to better understand Wikipedia's volunteers who edit medical topics, many associated with the WikiProject Medicine, and known to create some of the highest quality content on Wikipedia. I hope that the lessons I can learn from you that I will present to the academic audience will benefit both the WikiProject Medicine (improving your understanding of yourself and helping to promote it and attract new volunteers) and the wider world of medical volunteering and academia. Open access copy of the resulting research will be made available at WikiProject's Medicine upon the completion of the project.
All questions are optional. The survey is divided into 4 parts: 1 - Brief description of yourself; 2 - Questions about your volunteering; 3 - Questions about WikiProject Medicine and 4 - Questions about Wikipedia's coverage of medical topics.
Please note that by filling out this questionnaire, you consent to participate in this research. The survey is anonymous and all personal details relevant to your experience will be kept private and will not be transferred to any third party.
I appreciate your support of this research and thank you in advance for taking the time to participate and share your experiences! If you have any questions at all, please feel free to contact me at my Wikipedia user page or through my email listed on the survey page (or by Wikipedia email this user function).

Hi, would you mind doing a quick check of this article? Your edit to expand it last month added a couple unusual typos (like a period in the middle of a sentence) that look like they probably happened as you moved things around while revising what you'd written, and I just want to make sure that's not a sign of some error or something missing before I remove them. There's one sentence in particular that's gotten mangled in a way that I can easily see a fix for but might be indicative of a whole sentence that went missing while you were moving things around: Sail Mohamed was also a passionate anti-Stalinist, and rejecting support from the Red Aid in 1932 following his arrest., a front organisation of the French Communist Party.
Thanks for expanding this article, btw! --

An article you recently created,
Delina Fico, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from
reliable,
independent sources. (

verifiability is of
central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to
draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:

Your reversion of pending changes is attributed in edit summary as WP:Overcite, which relates to the Warren entry; I concur with this. However, that accounts for two of the three reverted edits; the other one dealt with other unrelated content and is not explained by the revert reason, so I thought I'd ask you to double check whether you actually intended to revert that as well or if it was collateral damage.

Re Talk:Paul Dini/GA1: That report looks for all the world to me like goodreads took an old version of our article, rather than the other way around. Earwig won't tell you that, only that the two copies are similar. In some cases you can get a better idea of the chronology of other web pages from archive.org but in this case it doesn't have any useful information. Note that the goodreads incorporates some old "cryptozoologist" text, added in [4] in 2005 by long-gone editor Orville Eastland, but also incorporates the lead text of the article in the version prior to Orville Eastland's additions. Unless you are going to argue that there was a conspiracy among multiple old Wikipedia editors to gradually make the Wikipedia article more and more a copyvio of the same goodreads page, the simpler explanation is that goodreads copied from Wikipedia.
So while I won't quibble with your quickfailing the article over a drive-by and non-responsive editor, I think quickfailing it as a copyvio is a serious mistake. — David Eppstein ( talk) 22:29, 27 November 2022 (UTC)
Hello, I was in the process of rewriting the copyright portions of the article and was also pretty busy the past couple of days. Sorry that I didn't communicate this clearly. Could I still have a reasonable amount of time to complete the rewrite?
And I suspect the Goodreads page may have copied content that was originally from Wikipedia, because it is structured like a Wikipedia article. I can still rewrite these parts if need be. FlairTale ( talk) 13:06, 29 November 2022 (UTC)
Thanks for helping out with the Twin Falls hoax! If you want a bigger challenge, Roswell incident is also a Good Article Nominee. Rhodes UFO photographs also needs GA feedback -- a reviewer rejected the article's topic as too fringe to ever become a "Good Article", which is fine, but it could still become a "Better Article".

I look forward to working with you on this topic. I will start with making sure all CNs are cleared and any other unreferenced content is dealt with.

I understand that you deleted my text in the Cuphead plot because you couldn't see why it was an improvement. The improvement is that it mentions the cutscene in Inkwell Isle Three, foreshadowing what will happen after collecting all of the contracts in Inkwell Isle and that the end of the game is getting close. The description showed what happened in the cutscene for after you enter Inkwell Isle Two, why not have the description for after you enter Inkwell Isle Three? 2603:6010:8B45:FA00:4C8:FB58:397:53A9 ( talk) 22:57, 8 December 2022 (UTC)
I've been setting aside enough time to address the GA review, but find myself balking. I ask that rather than continue the hold, you fail the review. Come January, I expect that I will be able to address all the recommendations you made, and then resubmit for GA. I will notify you at that time, leaving to you the option of continuing with the review or leaving it to someone else. I apologize for freezing up on this, but do not want to ask that you extend the hold when I have this obvious problem. David notMD ( talk) 12:00, 23 December 2022 (UTC)

Hi Etriusus, can I suggest using atop and abot templates instead of collapse top and collapse bot? This is more common for conversations where the result is meant to be referred to, as it leaves all the discussion visible without the need for more clicks.

Hey, I saw that you were sorry to decline a GA nom, so I had a look at the review. I agree with the overall result, but a few things stood out to me, and I think you should consider my free and unsolicited advice (guaranteed to be worth at least twice what you've paid for it! ;-) ). Here are some of the things you wrote:
All except the last have the same problem: They're not in the WP:GACR. GA explicitly does not care about ref formatting (I wrote footnote #3 myself), and the rest is not mentioned. Suggesting things that aren't required makes noms feel like they really ought to do them, either because they don't know what the criteria say and trust you to tell them what the GA-related problems are, or just because they really want to keep you happy. IMO reviewers shouldn't suggest things that aren't required, and if you do, it needs to be carefully labeled, maybe by saying something like "This is not required and will not affect the outcome of this review, but if you feel like it, you could...". It's also perfectly appropriate to simply not mention off-topic things, and focus on the problems with the sources used (and not used, in this case) and prose (good job on that point).
The last item in my list has a different problem: What you wrote is not actually, technically true. You have described the most popular choice, but you have accidentally presented it as the required approach. Editors are allowed to provide citations straight in the lead of the article, even for non-contentious facts. It, like whether to have an infobox, is basically a personal stylistic preference. MOS:LEADCITE says "The presence of citations in the introduction is neither required in every article nor prohibited in any article" (emphasis mine). That includes articles that don't have contentious or divisive information in the lead.
Finally, I suggest to you that the hands-off approach to reviewing is not necessarily the best model. I've seen reviewers spend a lot of time copying and pasting simple typos on to the review page to ask the nom to correct it. Whenever there is only one possible correct fix and it would be faster for you to just fix it than to request that someone else fix it, I suggest that you WP:SOFIXIT. Fixing a few minor problems has traditionally not been considered a barrier to completing a review, and it can make it easier to keep the review focused on the bigger issues.
I add: Thank you. Thank you for being here, for editing, and especially for reviewing articles. I know I'm dumping a big, long complaint on your page, but really: overall you're doing fine, and I think you've got lots of potential for doing even better.

Hi Etriusus! I've been working on ways to increase my real-life productivity use large language model tools like ChatGPT, and it was inevitable that this would spill over to Wikipedia. I've written a prompt that will help me conduct a GA review, and I'd like to test it. Would you be interested in being a guinea pig with the article Ionia Volcano? The idea is that GPT-4 will provide suggestions for criteria 1, 3, and 4, while I'll do 2, 5 and 6. If the approach is generally fruitful, we can post results on GA talk page and hopefully give some introductory guidance for reviewers/editors on how to use this tool to further improve their reviews/articles.
