Hello, even though you only did the first section I am thankful for what you said on the prose, spelling, and grammar aspect of the article's first section. I am wondering if you could just jot done some of the problems in the other sections if you have the time so that I can work on improving the article. - Jon698 talk 2:37 8 April 2020
Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Ross Perot 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 HAL333 -- HAL333 (talk) 06:20, 8 April 2020 (UTC)
Hi, I thought you'd be interested in knowing that I created a new Node.js bot framework - see mwn. It's mostly written on the MWBot (which I see you used in your bot) as a foundation - though I also copied stuff from mw.Api, and added a host of improvements of my own - such as automated retry on maxlag and expired token (badtoken
) errors, and a suite of functions for bulk API processing.
Your contributions would be very much appreciated! See issues for a list of open tasks. SD0001 (talk) 20:06, 8 April 2020 (UTC)
Hey Danny! I intended to let you know earlier, but I reorganized the old requests by whether they were approved or denied at Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Redirect whitelist/Old requests. I felt that it was more important to easily see which users have been denied than to keep all requests chronological by month. They are still chronological within their specific section, but now it matches the archiving for the rest of WP:PERM (except for there are different pages for approved and denied requests rather than different sections). If you would prefer to keep the requests the way they were previously, then you can revert and continue to archive in the previous fashion, as there is no current consensus to what should be done with the archive.

While I skimmed the article, I noticed a couple things:
fulfilled his annual sales quota in a mere two weeksTone issue saying mere in Wikipedia's voice. The fact that he did a year's sales in two weeks should be impressive enough to the reader without this embellishment.
in Dallas, Texas and courtedneeds a comma after Texas (MOS:GEOCOMMA). Similarly with
in Washington, D.C. where,
sold it to David Rubenstein, managing director of The Carlyle Group for $21.3 millionNeeds a comma after Group.
his angel investor was Perot, who invested over $20 million. I'm not sure that I like the tone of "angel investor" which sounds a little peacocky. If you're going to use it, I would suggest linking to angel investor, and maybe avoid the investor/invested repetition by changing the last clause to: provided $20 million in seed money/capital.
Perot also launched private investigations of, and attacks upon, United States Department of Defense official Richard Armitage.I feel that this needs to be clear that this refers to an attack on the reputation of Armitage, and not a physical attack.
He unsuccessfully urged SenatorsI think Senators can be lower-case (MOS:JOBTITLE).
"electronic town halls,"and
title "Waiting for Perot,"and
"spoiler,"the commas should go outside the quotes, per MOS:LQ
The 1992 Campaign: Transcript of 2d TV Debate Between Bush, Clinton and Perot". The New York Times. New York Times Company. October 16, 1992. Retrieved May 16, 2016.I noticed this first because the double-quote isn't paired, but looks like some of this was supposed to be in a reference.
playing the role of Colonel Simons.Can just say "playing the role of Simons." per MOS:SURNAME. Similarly,
Co-manager Hamilton Jordancan simply be "Jordan", and
Ed Rollins resignedcan be "Rollins resigned". (You only have to use the full name on first mention in the lead and body, and anywhere else where surname only might be confusing.)
George H.W. Bushin a quotation. You can put a between the initials H.W., per MOS:INITIALS. It's fine to make a little typographical change like that in a quote, per MOS:PMC.
Hope this helps, and thanks for your work on this vital article! – Reidgreg (talk) 11:10, 19 April 2020 (UTC)

Hi Danny, how are you? I hope that in this rare time you and your family are well :)
I come here again to request another help for the Galipedia :) It turns out that a while ago, I found a tool that I find very useful on eswiki, this is, It's a tool to correct spelling errors. I was investigating and found that the page of the tool is this. I contacted the programmer to ask him for help to install it in gl.wiki but he told me that at the moment he did not have time to do it. This was in January and I have not heard anything again. I looked a little if I could do it, but it is too much for me, first the code is in GitHub, in Java and Angular, and later it is necessary to have it installed in Toolforge, things of which I have no idea.
The adaptation should not be complex, it would only be necessary to make the tool use the dumps of glwiki instead of those of eswiki, use the list of spelling errors that we already have in glwiki and which follows the same format and change same template names for those used al glwiki.
If you want to give us a hand with this you would be welcome, if you see it's very complex or you are busy, don't worry, I will understand, everyone does what they can and you have already done enough :) Saúdos, Elisardojm (talk) 22:49, 20 April 2020 (UTC)

Hey; wanted to let you know I reverted the move on Cape Canaveral AFS because it hasn’t officially been renamed yet. There has been no announcement from the official site and local media reported a month ago that it would be delayed until after COVID permits gatherings. Also not the first time NASAWatch got it wrong. After rename officially happens though, should be an easy move. Garuda28 (talk) 01:11, 29 April 2020 (UTC)

The second round of the 2020 WikiCup has now finished. It was a high-scoring round and contestants needed 75 points to advance to round 3. There were some very impressive efforts in round 2, with the top ten contestants all scoring more than 500 points. A large number of the points came from the 12 featured articles and the 186 good articles achieved in total by contestants, and the 355 good article reviews they performed; the GAN backlog drive and the stay-at-home imperative during the COVID-19 pandemic may have been partially responsible for these impressive figures.
Our top scorers in round 2 were:
The rules for featured article reviews have been adjusted; reviews may cover three aspects of the article, content, images and sources, and contestants may receive points for each of these three types of review. Please also remember the requirement to mention the WikiCup when undertaking an FAR for which you intend to claim points. Remember also that DYKs cannot be claimed until they have appeared on the main page. As we enter the third round, any content promoted after the end of round 2 but before the start of round 3 can be claimed now, and anything you forgot to claim in round 2 cannot! Remember too, that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them. When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met.
If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anything else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

Hey Danny,
we talked about this on the project talk page some time ago.
What do you think? It's a crazy quick test and I have no experience with templates. I need some tech advice before I propose it in to other editors. Is there a way to have the consensus section collapse into a more readable form? It would be great and we could include it in all pages related to the project in one go. Might also make sense to propose it for the future of other projects too. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:WikiProject_COVID-19/Sandbox -- ((u|Gtoffoletto)) talk 13:38, 4 May 2020 (UTC)

Hey there,
I happened to come across some of your user scripts which I found very useful, including the New Pages Feed script. However, as a NPP myself, I am more accustomed to reviewing pages with Special:NewPages rather than Special:NewPagesFeed. Therefore, I was wondering if I could fork your script for my own use with slight modifications, so it links to Special:NewPages instead. I have given you credit for the script, as you can see in my my common.js. Thanks for creating those scripts, and happy editing :) --Dps04 (talk) 04:46, 10 May 2020 (UTC)

Hello, DannyS712.
On May 13th, you made some changes to the Colorless green ideas sleep furiously article. You moved one reference behind the full stop.
It looks strange when reference related to only last couple of words of the sentence is located as if it related to the whole sentence. The sentence has other references within. The first reference related to one person, and the next one - at the end of the sentence - just to another person. Not to the entire sentence.
Are you sure the change you've made is correct? Are there any guidelines? Actually, I do not know any related rules and put reference before a full stop only following the logic.

Hello,
I am new on Wikipedia and I am searching somebody that could make the Wikipedia page of my partner, professional aerial artist Tjaša Dobravec. I have already written most of the text and listed up the references, and now I am searching a Wikipedia volunteer that could check and publish it. Can you or do you know somebody that could help me?
Thanks in advance and kind regards from Slovenia, Roel
Tjaša Dobravec Tjaša Dobravec (born November 28, 1994) is a Slovene professional aerial artist, poledancer, circus artist, trainer and choreographer. She performs in tv shows, on events and in circus productions all over the world. As a poledancer she competes in the pole art discipline. She is a self learner specialised in pole, fly pole and aerial spiral, all in her typical contemporary style. Accomplishments Slovenija Ima Talent In December 2018 Tjaša Dobravec won the TV show Slovenija Ima Talent. In the first round of Slovenia's Got talent she performed an act on pole. Thereafter she won the semi-final with an act on fly pole. In the final of Slovenija Ima Talent she brought a magical act on the aerial spiral and won the tv show after being selected as superfinalist. [1] Pole Theme Israel Tjaša Dobravec chose Pole Theme Israel in October 2019 as her very first pole competition in the Elite category. She won the competition with a contemporary pole act and was honored as overall winner at the pole art competition in Tel Aviv, Israel. [2] [3] [4] Festival Mondial du Cirque de Demain In February 2020 Tjaša Dobravec was among the participants of 41st edition of the prestigious Festival Mondial du Cirque de Demain in Paris, France. She was the very first contender from Slovenia at this festival, that is known in the world as 'the Olympic Games of modern circus art'. Tjaša Dobravec performed a contemporary act on aerial spiral and won two thropies: the Trophy Yao Jinguo of the national Circus school of China and the Trophy Bretagne Circus.

Hi Danny!
If you're still looking for COVID-19-related technical tasks, we could use some help at Template_talk:COVID-19_pandemic_data#Proposal:_Add_a_check_box_to_display_per_capita_data to make the table that appears at COVID-19 pandemic flexible enough to display per capita data when the reader flips a toggle. Feel free to take a look if it interests you (no worries if not). Cheers, ((u|Sdkb)) talk 05:34, 26 May 2020 (UTC)

Hi DannyS712, you are receiving this notice because you are listed as an active Articles for Creation reviewer.
Recently a list of reviewers by area of expertise was created. This notice is being sent out to alert you to the existence of that list, and to encourage you to add your name to it. If you or other reviewers come across articles in the queue where an acceptance/decline hinges on specialist knowledge, this list should serve to facilitate contact with a fellow reviewer.
To end on a positive note, the backlog has dropped below 1,500, so thanks for all of the hard work some of you have been putting into the AfC process!
Sent to all Articles for Creation reviewers as a one-time notice. To opt-out of all massmessage mailings, you may add Category:Wikipedians who opt out of message delivery to your user talk page. Regards, Sam-2727 (talk)

Hello, DannyS712. I was informed at WP:CfD that I could leave a message here requesting that a bot tag categories for the CfD process. I would like to nominate some categories, relating to mobile devices, for rearrangement (for the sake of consistency). Would it be enough to just list the parent categories or should I list every subcategory as well (It’s taking too long to copy-paste each subcategory)? RedBulbBlueBlood9911|Talk 08:00, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
Hi @DannyS712:, I'm not quite sure how to request a bulk category rename.
The categories inside Category:Parliamentary Private Secretaries should all begin Parliamentary Private Secretaries to X.

Guild of Copy Editors June 2020 Newsletter
Hello and welcome to the June newsletter, a brief update of Guild activities since March 2020. You can unsubscribe from our mailings at any time; see below. All times and dates stated are in UTC. Current events
Election time: Nomination of candidates in our mid-year Election of Coordinators opened on 1 June, and voting will take place from 00:01 on 16 June. GOCE coordinators normally serve a six-month term and are elected on an approval basis. Self-nominations are welcome. If you've thought about helping out at the Guild, or you know of another editor who would make a good coordinator, please consider standing for election or nominating them here. June Blitz: This blitz begins at 00:01 on 14 June and ends at 23:59 on 20 June, with themes of articles tagged for copyedit in May 2020 and requests. Drive and blitz reports
March Drive: Self-isolation from coronavirus may have played a hand in making this one of our most successful backlog elimination drives. The copy-editing backlog was reduced from 477 to a record low of 118 articles, a 75% reduction. The last four months of 2019 were cleared, reducing the backlog to three months. Fifty requests were also completed, and the total word count of copy-edited articles was 759,945. Of the 29 editors who signed up, 22 completed at least one copy edit. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here. April Blitz: This blitz ran from 12 to 18 April with a theme of Indian military history. Of the 18 people who signed up, 14 copyedited at least one article. Participants claimed a total of 60 copyedits. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here. May Drive: This event marked the 10th anniversary of the GOCE's copy-editing drives, and set a goal of diminishing the backlog to just one month of articles, as close to zero articles as possible. We achieved the goal of eliminating all articles that had been tagged prior to the start of the drive, for the first time in our history! Of the 51 editors who signed up, 43 copyedited at least one article. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here. Other news
Progress report: as of 2 June, GOCE participants had processed 328 requests since 1 January, which puts us on pace to exceed any previous year's number of requests. As of the end of the May drive, the backlog stood at just 156 articles, all tagged in May 2020. Outreach: To mark the 10th anniversary of our first Backlog Elimination Drive, The Signpost contributor and GOCE participant Puddleglum2.0 interviewed project coordinators and copy-editors for the journal's April WikiProject Report. The Drive and the current Election of Coordinators have also been covered in The Signpost's May News and Notes page. Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators Jonesey95, Baffle gab1978, Reidgreg, Tdslk and Twofingered Typist. To discontinue receiving GOCE newsletters, please remove your name from our mailing list.

You converted the list to a table in some article related to List of United States Supreme Court cases, volume 448. Would it be easy for you to do that one too and remove the cleanup tag? Thank you. RJFJR (talk) 23:56, 6 June 2020 (UTC)
The deletion of the category was not fair or warranted. The Swedish Curling Association is funded by the Swedish Olympic Committee. Its current Men's World Curling Champions are tied for most World Championships and the most European Championships of all time and have won several Grand Slams. The current leading women's team are Olympic champions and have won several Grand Slams. All of the nominees must be approved on national and international merits.
The nomination for deletion was baseless. This is someone who was patrollning Wikipedia and proposing deletions on the grounds that he could not find out anything about it. If you don't know the subject, it shouldn't be deleted just as a wiki-hobby. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mosjöberg (talk • contribs) 17:09, 7 June 2020 (UTC)
There was no basis for the alleged "consensus" because the ONLY reason given was biased and not based on anything other than that the person who proposed it thought the Hall of Fame was not real based without any credentials for making that determination. The proponent does not even seem to have any knowledge or interest in curling. It's absurd. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mosjöberg (talk • contribs) 20:08, 7 June 2020 (UTC)

Hi Danny, just saw your new prep set. Some observations:
Best, Yoninah (talk) 12:03, 10 June 2020 (UTC)
Danny and The Squirrel Conspiracy, now that it looks like we're among the few editors building prep sets, I'd just like to comment on what has been my approach over the last 10 years. If you really think a hook is interesting, watchlist it and see how many hits it gets. You will find that our readership—primarily young, male, twenties—go for war hooks, sports hooks, suicides, and shocking facts. Clever hook wording can also move a hook to the top of the pageview statistics. Run-of-the-mill hooks like * ... that Arlington State College left the Texas A&M University System after 48 years to join the University of Texas System?
won't even reach 1,000 pageviews in a 12-hour period. In the interests of the project, I have always taken extra time to ask nominators to improve weak hooks so we can present the best product on the main page. We have had enough calls for discontinuation of the DYK column as being fluff and trivial, though in actuality it serves an important purpose of showcasing new articles and encouraging new editors to create pages. I hope that you, too, will look at prep building as a mission to present a great product. Thank you, Yoninah (talk) 23:14, 10 June 2020 (UTC)
Hi Danny! I just wanted to check whether you plan to weigh in at Wikipedia talk:Requests for comment/2020 left sidebar update#Moving forward from here.

Hello DannyS712,
NPP Sorting can be a great way to find pages needing new page patrolling that match your strengths and interests. Using ORES, it divides articles into topics such as Literature or Chemistry and on Geography. Take a look and see if you can find time to patrol a couple pages a day. With over 10,000 pages in the queue, the highest it's been since ACPERM, your help could really make a difference.
In late February, Google added 5 new languages to Google Translate: Kinyarwanda, Odia (Oriya), Tatar, Turkmen and Uyghur. This expands our ability to find and evaluate sources in those languages.

William Mariner was an Englishman who lived in Tonga from 29 November 1806 to (probably) 8 November 1810. He later published Tonga Islands, an account of his experiences that is now one of the major sources of information on Tonga before it was significantly influenced by European culture and Christianity. Pictured is Mariner in Tongan attire.
