Unilaterally

Given your stated reasoning (in the edit summary) about this revert, I think you should carefully read through the changes in that diff: the version you reverted back to also claims that "extinct" is one of the "levels of andangerment" (in the paragraph starting "UNESCO's Atlas of the World's Languages in Danger categorises 2,473 languages"). We need to decide whether we want to say there are "six levels of endangerment", "five levels of endangerment" (not counting "safe", or not counting "extinct"), or "four levels of endangerment" (counting neither "safe" nor "extinct"). And whichever wording we choose, we should only list the levels once. The article currently lists them twice (counting them differently each time), in the two sentences starting "UNESCO operates with four levels of language endangerment" and "UNESCO's Atlas of the World's Languages in Danger categorises 2,473 languages". - dcljr (talk) 06:55, 16 May 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for contributing to the criticism of religion article. Your claim definitely needs to be backed up with a/some good references. If you can find reliable sources and document them on the page, it would be helpful. Cheers Shabidoo | Talk 16:10, 2 July 2018 (UTC)--

Your GA nomination of Prague uprising

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Prague uprising you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of White Shadows -- White Shadows (talk) 04:01, 6 July 2018 (UTC)

Quick Question

Have you promoted an article to GA status yet? I'm just curious. I'd also like to say that I've been following the edits you've made to Prague uprising and I'm loving the work you've put into this. I'm very confident this is going to pass when it's all said and done.--White Shadows ^{New and improved!} 03:15, 8 July 2018 (UTC)

@White Shadows: No, I have never been a GA reviewer or nominator, this is all new for me. Thanks for the reassurance. By the way you have the coolest username that I've encountered so far. Catrìona (talk) 03:39, 8 July 2018 (UTC)

Thank you for the compliment! I'm happy to be the first person to review one of your articles for a GA. You've done a fantastic job so far and I have to say, you're quite skillful when it comes to obtaining Czech-related sources. Having been to Prague once about 14 years ago, it's awesome seeing folks who are eager to improve articles about the history of the city.--White Shadows ^{New and improved!} 03:47, 8 July 2018 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of Prague uprising

The article Prague uprising you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Prague uprising for comments about the article. Well done! If the article has not already been on the main page as an "In the news" or "Did you know" item, you can nominate it to appear in Did you know. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of White Shadows -- White Shadows (talk) 23:21, 10 July 2018 (UTC)

@White Shadows: Thanks so much for your helpful feedback, it really helped me improve the article. Catrìona (talk) 01:31, 11 July 2018 (UTC)

No problem. It was a pleasure reviewing this article! Let me know if you'd ever like to take this article to a higher level (such as ACR or eventually FAC). I'd be more than happy to help you get there. Congrats again on the GA!--White Shadows ^{Let’s Talk} 01:33, 11 July 2018 (UTC)

Template:Did you know nominations/John–Eleanor Rykener

Hi, welcome to DYK reviewing! Just a note that the template thread should be in chronological order. Please put your final approval tick at the bottom of the nomination, not at the top. If the hook reference can be verified, it's a green tick; if the hook ref is offline or foreign-language, it's a gray tick. Also, please don't give the final tick until all criteria are met, including the QPQ. We have a bot that automatically moves templates that have an approval tick to the Approved page, so if it's not yet approved, it will be in the wrong place and may confuse prep promoters like myself. If you have any questions about the review process, please drop me a note on my talk page. Best, Yoninah (talk) 09:55, 13 July 2018 (UTC)

File:Manufacture of Bf 109 wings at Flossenbürg concentration camp.jpg

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. RonBot (talk) 17:13, 30 July 2018 (UTC)

DYK for Bratislava Working Group

On 3 August 2018, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Bratislava Working Group, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that an illegal Jewish organization in an Axis puppet state proposed an ambitious scheme to bribe Heinrich Himmler into halting the systematic extermination of European Jews? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Bratislava Working Group. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Bratislava Working Group), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Proposed deletion of Who Are You, Leon Burger?

Hello, Catrìona. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, Who Are You, Leon Burger?, for deletion because I don't think it meets our criteria for inclusion. If you don't want the article deleted:

1. edit the page
2. remove the text that looks like this: {{proposed deletion/dated...}}
3. save the page

Also, be sure to explain why you think the article should be kept in your edit summary or on the article's talk page. If you don't do so, it may be deleted later anyway.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.

Onel5969 ^{TT me} 15:02, 4 August 2018 (UTC)

@Onel5969: First, thanks for reviewing all of my new pages, splits and redirects. I did not create this article, but simply split it from Tuvia Friling. It's clearly unacceptable in its current form and, although it might pass GNG, I have no interest in improving it or opposing the deletion. Catrìona (talk) 15:09, 4 August 2018 (UTC)

Use of thanking

I don't think that thanking me for my edit on the Molders FAR is helpful. I do not intend to comment further on the page. Please respect my right to withdraw from the matter.Nigel Ish (talk) 15:16, 4 August 2018 (UTC)

@Nigel Ish: The thank was genuine appreciation for your clarification of the effect of the Arbcom case on the content dispute, not some nefarious attempt to involve you in the FAR proceedings. Regards, Catrìona (talk) 15:30, 4 August 2018 (UTC)

Articles for creation comments

Thanks for pitching in to review drafts at Articles for creation. Supplementing the boilerplate declines with custom comments is encouraged, but I noticed a couple of your comments steer submitters in the wrong direction.

• On Draft:Olivier Vadrot you wrote Also, Wikipedia is not a CV. Non-notable works should not be listed.. It's true that Wikipedia is not the place to post one's resume, but MOS:WORKS encourages complete lists of works for artists and specifically says, "The individual items in the list do not have to be sufficiently notable to merit their own separate articles."

• On Draft:Kenneth Calhoun you wrote Coverage of the subject's works do not grant notability to the author unless there is significant coverage of the author himself. Coverage of the subject's works in the form of multiple independent reviews is one of the primary ways of demonstrating the notability of an author. The reviews need not contain significant biographical information (although in this case reviews are available that do). The submitter should be citing more coverage of the subject's works, not less.

I agree that the declined drafts need work, but please nudge the submitters in the right direction. Otherwise they tend to flail around making things worse and clogging up AfC. Including in your comments a link to the relevant policy or guideline (if different from those in the boilerplate decline) can help them learn our system. --Worldbruce (talk) 01:12, 7 August 2018 (UTC)

@Worldbruce: Thanks for the feedback. I agree what I said to the first person was misleading. There seem to be a lot of AfC submissions which are somewhat promotional and somewhat reminiscent of a resume/CV, and I'm not really sure what to say to nudge the person in the right direction. As for the second one, it seems that I was misunderstanding WP:NOTINHERITED. I won't make the same mistake again! Catrìona (talk) 01:30, 7 August 2018 (UTC)

Hi Catrìona

Thanks for the comments on the draft Draft:ACE (alternating conditional expectations). You said "Wikipedia is not a how-to guide". I am confused and do not know how to revise the article. Can you give me further suggestions? Thank you very much.

@Zhaofeng-shu33: It looks like another user has cleaned up your draft and promoted it.

Murder of the family of Robert Einstein

Thank you for moving the article and creating a DYK for it. I added another alternative suggestion to it. I also noticed that you linked Padule di Fucecchio to the Italian Wikipedia article. I don't speak Italian but English language sources do exist for the massacre. It surprises me that there isn't an article yet, given that it is, according to this source, "one of Italy's worst wartime atrocities". Other English language sources exist as well, like this article by the Telegraph, and an official announcement by the Italian Government. Turismond (talk) 06:54, 11 August 2018 (UTC)
