Thanks for fixing that article! There was a long-term problem with a certain other editor trying to whitewash it. DMacks ( talk) 17:28, 21 June 2011 (UTC)
The question is whether they meet the notability standard of WP:BAND. This was discussed at WP:Articles for deletion/MKTO. Their entry seems to be being pushed by single-purpose accounts connected with the band - Agpsmgmt ( talk · contribs), TonyOller ( talk · contribs), TonyFollowOller ( talk · contribs), Wearemkto ( talk · contribs). If someone not connected with the band can make a draft of a non-promotional article with references to show how they meet WP:BAND, they should first approach user MBisanz ( talk), the admin who closed the deletion discussion, and then if not satisifed go to WP:Deletion review. Regards, JohnCD ( talk) 10:43, 5 January 2013 (UTC)
I have undone your A7 and G11 tags on this article. A7 only applies to people, animals, organisations and web content - not software. I remember the software being released and having contemporary magazine coverage, such as this in ST/Amiga Format. Even if we can't find enough reliable sources to establish individual notability, the article might well be worth a redirect to ERE Informatique. Could I recommend that before you nominate an article to CSD A7 to follow the same WP:BEFORE rules as in an AfD, as often it's simply that a new editor isn't sure about what to write and puts in a stub sentence that superficially gives little context but a search for the name turns up reliable coverage. -- Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 10:47, 14 January 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for the poke. I've gone ahead and assigned you the course instructor right, since you seem to know your way around Wikipedia. Good luck! If you have any questions related to course pages, let me know.-- Sage Ross (WMF) ( talk) 02:43, 2 February 2013 (UTC)
Very fast review of my last article! I've added the episode to the season 10 page now. Jonny2BeGood ( talk) 21:50, 7 February 2013 (UTC)
After reviewing your request for the account creator right, I have enabled the flag on your account. Keep in mind these things:
If you no longer require the right, let me know, or ask any other administrator. Drop a note if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of the account creator right. Happy editing! — Darkwind ( talk) 17:26, 9 February 2013 (UTC)
Hi, I saw that you didn't get accepted for the reviewer permission; this can be frustrating, but I think I might be able to help. I run an adoption course through Wikipedia's Adopt-a-User program. If you complete the course, you'll have valuable experience that might allow you to gain those permissions. Granted, you shouldn't come into the course with advanced permissions as your primary goal, but it could be a bi-product of you becoming a more well-rounded editor. Let me know if you're interested.

Hello Jackson. I was wondering if you are taking Go Phightins! final exam. If you feel you have gained enough knowledge during his course, you are not required to take the exam. Please notify me, so I can notify Go Phightins! Thanks. JHUbal27• Talk• E-mail 02:16, 14 February 2013 (UTC)
Hey Jackson, no rush...I posted above. It's not a big deal, just let me know when you can.

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You could also click on the signature button or located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when they said it. Thank you. -- SineBot ( talk) 01:36, 16 February 2013 (UTC)
The Adoptee Graduation Diploma | ||
I know you'll value this as the best diploma you'll ever get...just kidding, but still, you were a fantastic adoptee. You have definitely grown through the course and I would certainly think you are ready to be a reviewer, if that's the direction you want to head. So I am curious, other than your education course, what are your future plans on Wikipedia? In what areas do you want to work? If at any time you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask me either on my talk page or via email. I will put a userbox below stating you've finished adoption. Best wishes.

I am now proud owner of a TUSC account!
Hi! I noticed that you applied for these permissions and was wondering why you had done so.
As you are relatively new to wikipedia, with only 77 edits to the article mainspace, why not consider becoming more intergrated into the community, before applying for such responsibility?
Graduating from an 'adoption' program may verse you in every wikipolicy imaginable, but may not give you the real experience required to implement them in a discussion. For these reasons I would ask you reconsider your application, and engage in further editing work before reapplying.
Thanks! ★ ★ Retro Lord ★★ 08:30, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
I have attempted to address your issues with Mizabot. Lets see if this works. If not just reverse and we can start over. My auto archiving configuration stopped working last year and I never looked into what changed so, maybe this can help us both. Lets see if it works or not now. Let me know if it does or doesn't.-- Amadscientist ( talk) 03:03, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
Would you mind if I moved all the CVUA related sections to your training talk page? — nerd fighter 23:42, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
Hey Jackson! I'm flattered by the nomination for EotW...there's just one problem. I kind of created (along with a couple others) the project, so I really can't get it. Still, I really appreciate the thought, but enough praise of me...it's time for you to go out onto the encyclopedia and change the world. Go Phightins ! 03:54, 21 February 2013 (UTC)
I added some questions to Unit 3: Reviewing so that you understand reviewing a tad better before we continue the hands on. Thanks! — nerd fighter 00:27, 22 February 2013 (UTC)
Awesome job on the CVUA course. You are doing fantastic. I just put up the progress test, so you can do that whenever. This does not count towards your final grade, I just want to make sure you have all the key concepts down. After this you will have a 5 day observation period, just to make sure that you are doing everything right. I was just looking at your contributions, and you are doing a fine job. Keep it up! — nerd fighter 13:55, 22 February 2013 (UTC)

Regarding this edit:i

I believe this edit is unnecessary as the specs show 2 13" models, each with an upgraded processor option.i

When an IP is changing sourced content, you may wish to verify that the source actually supports the change. The system says you accepted this change [1] when the source clearly " the film was made on a budget of around 42 crore, " and not the 22 proposed by the IP.
You may wonder, "why in the world would anyone actively misrepresent the source in that way? " and that is a very good question, but there is a reason why articles are given the "pending revisions" protection in the first place and such active and blatant misrepresentation is one and shows why sourcing should always be checked on articles with pending revisions protection before accepting suggested changes. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 08:21, 23 February 2013 (UTC)
The purpose of reviewing is to catch and filter out obvious vandalism and obviously inappropriate edits on articles under pending changes protection, a special kind of protection that permits anonymous and newly registered editors to submit edits to articles that would otherwise be semi- or fully protected under one or more of the criteria listed in the protection policy.
Reviewers are not taking responsibility for the correctness of edits they accept. A reviewer only ensures that the version of the article visible to a casual reader is broadly acceptable. The reviewer checks the pending change(s) for an article and can then decide to either accept it, revert it or modify it then later accept it. Reviewers are not expected to be subject experts and their review is not a guarantee in any way of an error-free article.
Thanks for reviewing it, and its the first article of mine that have been reviewed! Unfortunatelly I couldn't comment earlier since I needed to go to bed. Now for the "couple of sentences": I checked other sources, and Google Books doesn't have any info on the species besides that site that I got it from. I also checked other sites and found nothing. I guess it have something to do with "recently discovered species", (2009 mind you). So, maybe say, in a decade of 2 there will be more info... They do put yearly updates though but not for every species... That aside, I do have question though: So stubs (or should I say substubs) can be reviewed by all users? Because I thought it was only C and B class articles that get to be reviewed since their quality scale and scope is larger then the ones that you reviewed! Please, don't take it as a critisism, just my way of asking questions, since I was shocked for a bit!-- Mishae ( talk) 15:17, 23 February 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for pointing that out. The user who tagged the userbox template for deletion forgot to to wrap the deletion notice with noinclude tags, which I have proceeded to do. Otherwise, there would have been others users complaining about the same problem. Command and Conquer Expert! speak to me... review me... 05:49, 25 February 2013 (UTC)
I finished grading your test, and you did a fantastic job. 97.8% Great work! The next step of the CVUA school is a 5 day watching period. I will keep an eye on your contribs to make sure that you are dealing with vandalism properly. This is a mandatory part of the program that all instructors must do. Please give me a date that you will be mostly active and the following 4 days. If I feel that you haven't edited enough for me to make a judgement call on your abilities I can extend it. Again, great work. Keep it up! — nerd fighter( academy) 23:45, 25 February 2013 (UTC)

Big text Good day! I was just wondering why the new info was deleted from the Nackawic entry. Here is a link to the news story describing Riel Nason's novel winning the Commonwealth prize for literature: http://www.cbc.ca/news/arts/story/2012/05/22/commonwealth-prize.html She has won other awards as well, and in my opinion is far more noteworthy than the Canadian Idol contestant noted on the page...
Perhaps I am missing something...I am new to Wikipedia so maybe it's simply a matter that I failed to meet some style or citing rule...

Firstly I am very sorry I forgot about your CVUA course. I didn't have much time this week end, and it completely slipped my mind until now. You have done great reverting vandalism over the past week or so. I am putting up the exam now on your CVUA page. Thank you for your patience ! — nerd fighter 23:59, 4 March 2013 (UTC)
Just a friendly heads up, this IP edit to Operation Navy Help Darwin, which you reverted in good faith here, was actually correct in fixing a long-standing error. I've edited the claim in the article to better clarify. -- saberwyn 05:21, 9 March 2013 (UTC)

Hi Jackson,
Thank you for your review of our Risk Inclination page. You suggested arranging CW, RA, and RIF in 2nd or 3rd levels. Please allow me to ask, would you have an example of a Wikipedia page which shows an example of your suggestion?

I don't think you'll get much improvement done by that editor as they are blocked as a sockpuppet or sockmaster (I'm not sure which account came first...), and rather unlikely to get unblocked by the look of things.
