When you approve an AFC submission, please try to do some housekeeping.
I looked through your accepted submissions dating back to June 8. Given the number of issues above, I would recommend that you stop accepting articles for now. Instead, add an AFC comment saying something like "This article is on a notable topic and appears ready to be accepted, but I want another reviewer to look at it first just to be sure" then go back later and see if your "accepts" were in fact accepted or if they were declined. When you get to the point that 9 out of 10 of your "accepts" are "really accepted" then you will know you are experienced enough to accept submissions on your own.
Do continue declining submissions where there are obvious problems that can't be fixed by a quick edit on your part. Do continue to run reflinks and make other formatting changes. Do continue to encourage editors by adding comments to submissions. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 18:29, 10 June 2013 (UTC)

This is UTTERLY incorrect. The editor has every right to remove notifications and threads. They can't refactor stuff, or take individual elements out of a thread, but they are certainly allowed to do what you denied them. Drmies (talk) 17:02, 13 June 2013 (UTC)
hello??? I created the page Earl Buxton Elementary School 0alx0 (talk) 02:01, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
Hello Citrusbowler. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Infinita symphonia, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Signed to a notable label is enough for A7. Take to AfD if required. Thank you. GedUK 14:28, 16 June 2013 (UTC)
Hello, I just wanted to let you know that there is no need to withdraw an AfD nomination just because an article is nominated for speedy deletion, as you did here. Depending on the circumstances, there is always a remote chance that a reviewing admin will decline the speedy nomination. And if the article does get speedy deleted, the deleting admin or an uninvolved non-admin user like me will come around and close the AfD to reflect the speedy deletion.

I had just written a whole page here explaining the creation of this page and it got erased. Dang. Here is short version.
1. Why is this style more suited to Wikiversity? What about it is not proper Wikipedia?
2. The content at Linear function is incorrect. The information in that article is properly located at Linear mapping. A linear function is defined as it is on this page I just created: Linear function (mathematics) (See references, et.al.)
So the Linear function page should be changed to the correct definition. Lfahlberg (talk) 19:20, 18 June 2013 (UTC)

Hi, I'm Vigyani. I wanted to let you know that I saw the page you reviewed, Hanni (2013 Movie), and have un-reviewed it again. If you have any questions, please ask them on my talk page. Thank you. Vigyanitalkਯੋਗਦਾਨ 15:34, 19 June 2013 (UTC)
Hey. Sorry that I havent been present to continue your traiting. I've been terribly busy. I will try to give you the first test and second assigment this week. Cheers! — ΛΧΣ21 03:49, 20 June 2013 (UTC)
Hi, Citrusbowler. (Why do I have a vision of grapefruits knocking over pins, I wonder.) I see you've been responding to some edit requests. While it's unusual for a new editor to take on this task, it's okay if you're very, very careful. For instance, it's important never to make a requested edit unless you've checked that whatever you're adding, removing or changing meets all important policies and guidelines (especially the policies on verifiability, original research, and neutral point of view). If you have any doubt, it's better to leave the request unanswered and let someone more experienced deal with it.
One thing you may want to avoid is marking an edit request as answered until it has been answered rather conclusively (i.e., with one of the templates on this page except for the last two). At Talk:Pat Robertson, where I reverted you, the IP had reopened their request and, while I had commented (and clearly labeled what I wrote as a comment), no one had actually said yea or nay to the request.
Please consider reviewing the requests you've answered in light of these points. If you see any problems, it's perfectly fine to undo your own edits. Otherwise, welcome aboard and good luck. Rivertorch (talk) 05:41, 21 June 2013 (UTC)
Here is your first test :)
Please answer these questions about Vandalism and let me know when you are done. You don't need to give a long answer. Thanks!
Good luck! — ΛΧΣ21 23:02, 21 June 2013 (UTC)
I saw a note that you had reviewed this, but nothing else. Am I supposed to look somewhere? Hcobb (talk) 20:00, 23 June 2013 (UTC)

Hello Citrusbowler,
Thank you very much for reviewing my recent submission on the Canadian artist Brian Groombridge. I see in your notes that I need to improve the subject's referencing; however, I believe that the references used are indeed very strong. Four of the five authors cited are reputable and established writers in the art world. Also, the 'Further Reading' section evidences the amount of literature that has been published about this well-respected, senior artist. Furthermore, when composing this article, I emulated the format of other Wikipedia articles on Canadian artists, such as Ian Carr-Harris (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ian_Carr-Harris) and Ian Wallace (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ian_Wallace_%28artist%29), for example. I'm confused as to why Brian Groombridge's isn't deemed acceptable when these other very similar articles are.
Thank you for your time and consideration.

Hey Citrusbowler
I'm sending you this because you've made quite a few edits to the template namespace in the past couple of months. If I've got this wrong, or if I haven't but you're not interested in my request, don't worry; this is the only notice I'm sending out on the subject :).
So, as you know (or should know - we sent out a centralnotice and several watchlist notices) we're planning to deploy the VisualEditor on Monday, 1 July, as the default editor. For those of us who prefer markup editing, fear not; we'll still be able to use the markup editor, which isn't going anywhere.
What's important here, though, is that the VisualEditor features an interactive template inspector; you click an icon on a template and it shows you the parameters, the contents of those fields, and human-readable parameter names, along with descriptions of what each parameter does. Personally, I find this pretty awesome, and from Monday it's going to be heavily used, since, as said, the VisualEditor will become the default.
The thing that generates the human-readable names and descriptions is a small JSON data structure, loaded through an extension called TemplateData. I'm reaching out to you in the hopes that you'd be willing and able to put some time into adding TemplateData to high-profile templates. It's pretty easy to understand (heck, if I can write it, anyone can) and you can find a guide here, along with a list of prominent templates, although I suspect we can all hazard a guess as to high-profile templates that would benefit from this. Hopefully you're willing to give it a try; the more TemplateData sections get added, the better the interface can be. If you run into any problems, drop a note on the Feedback page.
Thanks, Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 22:05, 28 June 2013 (UTC)
Hi there,
Regarding the new page "SKEPP". Unfortunately, my username Skepp ("Ship" in Swedish) closely matches the acronym of the organization the page is about. This is purely accidental. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Skepp (talk • contribs) 22:33, 30 June 2013 (UTC)
Okay, I'll see if I can find other sources than the nonprofit's website. Thanks. :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Skepp (talk • contribs) 22:45, 30 June 2013 (UTC)
I found the article Apache Overkill and PRODed it. The PROD was removed, so I just AFD'd it. However, I initially missed that you had speedied it and the creating editor http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Apache_Overkill&diff=561205228&oldid=561203521 removed the speedy deletion template from the article]. What is the best course of action now? Should I keep it in AFD or reinstate your CSD? Andrew327 20:25, 1 July 2013 (UTC)

Hey. Sorry to take so long. Your second assignment is this: Read WP:Cleaning up vandalism and WP: WARN; and then prepare yourself for the second test :) — ΛΧΣ21 16:25, 4 July 2013 (UTC)
Hi. What's this "reviewed" thing? Can I do it? Did you like my compliment switch? It's used on my talkpage, at the top. Feel free to come there and pay me some compliments! darwinbish BITE ☠ 17:38, 4 July 2013 (UTC).
Thanks for reviewing FilmCitty, Citrusbowler.
Unfortunately MrX has just gone over this page again and unreviewed it. Their note is:
I am unreviewing this because it likely meets one or more speedy deletion criteria.
To reply, leave a comment on MrX's talk page. 17:53, 10 July 2013 (UTC)
It wasn't a test, I was simply cleaning up some of the poorly-worded parts of the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.17.127.170 (talk) 23:46, 20 July 2013 (UTC)
