Hi, I just re-deleted Jack Massey Welsh which you created with an A7 tag four seconds after I deleted it - I assume the recreation was accidental, so I've G6'd it. stwalkerster (talk) 19:44, 22 November 2019 (UTC)
Hello,
Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at the English Wikipedia.
I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org, so we can invite you in!
From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.
If you have any questions, please let us know at google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org.
Thank you!

the entire set of articles whose topic relates to the Arab-Israeli conflict, broadly interpretedrather than
reasonably construed.
I fully support your proposal to delete the article. I wondered how long the article would stay up before a delete proposal appeared; 15 minutes is quite good - you are on the ball.
I posted the article only to make a point. There are way too many articles about sandwiches; "Cheese Sandwich" is a particularly egregious example. Why is there no article about "Roast Beef Sandwich with Horseradish Sauce"? Or "Egg and Cress Sandwich"? Or "Cucumber and Cream-cheese Sandwich"?
"Submarine Sandwich" also needs deleting. Just look at all the argumentation about which specific joint in New York/Detroit was responsible for the invention of the Hot Dog, or the Hot Pastrami on Rye.
Dammit, they sell a "New York Deli Sandwich" in the supermarket around the corner from here; it's cold, it's never been anywhere near New York, the sauce is not Reuben sauce, and the rye bread is flabby - I don't think there's much rye in it.
We need a sandwich patrol!

Template:POV#When_to_use says "Please also explain on the article's talk page why you are adding this tag, identifying specific issues that are actionable within Wikipedia's content policies." You did not. Removal criteria include: "It is not clear what the neutrality issue is, and no satisfactory explanation has been given." Also "In the absence of any discussion." Thus, I've removed the tag. -- Yae4 (talk) 19:42, 8 January 2020 (UTC)

I, you keep referencing Mace (R) as a generic brand.

Hello, I apologise if I did something wrong in trying to clean up the page about John Rentoul. The recently added content which I attempted to remove was added in the course of an argument on Twitter, which Rentoul has now clarified was the result of a misunderstanding, though this as obvious at any rate, and I believed the content to have been added maliciously or at the very least without due regard for the facts. Please see here:https://twitter.com/JohnRentoul/status/1234931660359184385?s=20
I did try and add a reason in the edit summary on a second attempt as I was prompted to by Wiki, but I assume I have still got something wrong. If you are happy to, and think it appropriate, could I ask you if you would be kind enough to sort this out for me, as I seem to keep getting it wrong and don't really know my way around here.
Many thanks and once more sorry for the inconvenience. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 146.199.119.117 (talk) 20:30, 3 March 2020 (UTC)
Hi Kirbanzo,
I apologize for not making a summary of edits, I'm still new to Wikepedia and trying to learn the ropes. I made the edit because it's a more refined and unbiased version of what I have submitted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by CodyCW (talk • contribs) 01:04, 8 March 2020 (UTC)
Hi Kirbanzo. Your account has been added to the "New page reviewers
" user group. Please check back at WP:PERM in case your user right is time limited or probationary. This user group allows you to review new pages through the Curation system and mark them as patrolled, tag them for maintenance issues, or nominate them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at the New Pages Feed. New page reviewing is vital to maintaining the integrity of the encyclopedia. If you have not already done so, you must read the tutorial at New Pages Review, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the deletion policy. If you need any help or want to discuss the process, you are welcome to use the new page reviewer talk page. In addition, please remember:
The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you also may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. In cases of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, or long-term inactivity, the right may be withdrawn at administrator discretion. Chetsford (talk) 18:24, 8 March 2020 (UTC)
Thank you for the work you do in New Page Patrol.
However, can I draw your attention to the guidance at Wikipedia:New pages patrol #Triage:
Care should be exercised when reviewing very new pages. Tagging anything other than attack pages, copyvios, vandalism or complete nonsense only a few minutes after creation may stop the creation of a good faith article and drive away a new contributor.
You reviewed Sanja Fidler within a minute of the page being created and failed to notice that by the time you applied the WP:A3 tag, the article was 4,839 bytes in size. A new editor participating in an editathon had worked up the article in her sandbox and copied it into an empty mainspace page that had been created by a fellow participant who was confirmed.
No harm done, as it turned out, but I suggest that it's always worth giving new articles the benefit of ten minutes grace or so, before tagging or taking action when the article doesn't fall into one of the categories mentioned in the above guidance. Cheers --RexxS (talk) 14:34, 10 March 2020 (UTC)
Hello. Thanks for your review of the Otoko Ippiki Gaki Daisho draft.
Following your comment, I've added some inline citations that verify what's written in the draft. The main problem for one of them, is that is coming from a book published in France, I wanted to ask if that can be a problem. Other source is a video that is in japanese. In both cases, they are valid sources for what's written in the text, but since it can be difficult to verify these sources (mainly the book since it requires to be bought to access to the information), I wanted to ask if these sources are good.
Thank you very much. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SandAlchemist (talk • contribs) 20:03, 18 March 2020 (UTC)

I'm removing your rejection on this page, because the user has stated they are not the subject of the article at the help desk.

Hi Kirbanzo,
I saw the note you left on my talk page — thank you for the information! I modeled the page you marked for speedy deletion very similarly to other companies like SmileML (Visual.ly, Affectiva, iDreamBooks, etc.). Since you left the note on my page, I've combed through the SmileML page again and removed content that could have been seen as promotional. My intent of making the page truly wasn't for promotional reasons! I'm new to Wikipedia and did put a lot of effort into it and my intent was not malicious in any way.
Would you be willing to look over the changes I've made and let me know if you feel my page still appears promotional? And if so, would you be willing to give me pointers for how I could improve it?
Thank you! Shanxanderson (talk) 18:09, 3 April 2020 (UTC)

Hi, Kirbanzo , you recently tagged the new stub article Trees in Chinese mythology, as having no footnotes. Please re-examine. The article has two footnotes (which is sufficient for a stub article).

Wikipedia does not mandate styles in many different areas; these include (but are not limited to) American vs. British spelling, date formats, and citation style. Where Wikipedia does not mandate a specific style, editors should not attempt to convert Wikipedia to their own preferred style, nor should they edit articles for the sole purpose of converting them to their preferred style, or removing examples of, or references to, styles which they dislike.

Hi Kirbanzo - I just noticed on my watchlist that you sockpuppet/sockmaster tagged Alex Devens and Wolfssalt; but the last info I saw after I blocked Alex Devens was the checkuser Ponyo saying at User_talk:Alex Devens#April 2020 that Wolfssalt wasn't a sockpuppet of Alex Devens, and was rather some other miscreant pretending to be him. Have you got more information on this that led to you changing it back, or have I missed something? Thanks! ~ mazca talk 10:32, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
Hi,
You marked https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Cody_Zacharias as not having sources proving notability. I disagree with your decision, the subject is the main topic in sources 11 - 14, which is news coverage of the subject's work from multiple news sources.
Can you please reconsider your decision, or can you explain why the news coverage concerning the subject is not considered notable?
Thanks.

Hi Kirbanzo!
I just received your feedback regarding my recent article submission (for Xena Workwear). I'd previously read through all of the known documentation regarding neutral tone as well as made sure that every sentence in the article was backed by a citation. I'd additionally combed through the section on "puffery" and made sure to avoid all of those terms.
Additionally, I used other footwear industry company Wikipedia pages as reference for proper tone and information presented:
-https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rothy%27s -https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dr._Martens -https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rockport_(company)
I absolutely defer to your expertise on the matter. I have gone ahead and altered the article sections to hopefully sound completely objective and factual in tone.
Could I ask for you to please re-review it and if possible, provide any specific pointers in case I have missed something? Thank you kindly!!!— Preceding unsigned comment added by Foorej41 (talk • contribs)
Hi Kirbanzo, Thank you for reviewing my draft article. Upon your second review, you have told me that the article still reads like an essay. I have reviewed the Wikipedia Manual of Style, and the article I have written seems to conform to these standards. I'm willing to improve it, so I am wondering, can you please be specific about what exactly in the article reads like an essay? The first part of the article defines a non-jurisdictional dam and points out (importantly and accurately) that definitions vary, according to state and country. The second part of the article summarises recent peer-reviewed literature about non-jurisdictional dams, almost all of which focuses on their safety, as you probably know, dam removal is an important topic currently, especially in the United States. I look forward to receiving more concrete feedback from you so that I know exactly how to edit the article for re-submission. Thank you kindly.

Hi Kirbanzo,
How are you? Thanks for checking the draft page I submitted for Lhouette. The images that I submitted were taken by the WyeCliffe Gallery where Lhouette's pieces are sold from. I work with the Gallery and am trying to create a page for Lhouette (Ciaran Robinson). Any advice or help would be appreciated! I thought best to edit the page I submitted and then submit again? I'm new to this as I have only ever used Wiki to do Edits.
Many thanks!

Hi Kirbanzo. After reviewing your request for "rollbacker", I have enabled rollback on your account . Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:
If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! GirthSummit (blether) 17:40, 11 May 2020 (UTC)

Dear Kirbanzo. Thank you very much for reviewing the newly created article "Robert Dillon, 2nd Earl Roscommon" and for creating the associated talk page where you rated it Start-Class. I suppose it is accepted now. Obviously there is still a lot of work to be done on this article. I see you are a veteran editor, whereas I a still a novice on a seemingly endless learning curve with MOS and the dos and don'ts of Wikipedia. However, with all respect, I wonder about the move you did from "Robert Dillon, 2nd Earl of Roscommon" to "Robert Dillon, 2nd Earl Roscommon" citing "Consistency with other similar article titles" as the reason. The names of the articles for the 1st and the 3rd Earl of Roscommon do contain the "of" and so do many other articles about earls (Earl of Antrim, Earl of Abercorn, Earl of Arran ...). I did not find counter-examples on my watchlist. According to the pattern in my watchlist, it seems to depend on the title: earls with "of", but viscounts without (Viscount Boyne, Viscount Dillon, Viscount Muskerry ...). Please have a look and please undo your move if you agree. Otherwise, you should perhaps move all other articles on English, Scottish and Irish earls whose names contain the supposedly superfluous "of". With many thanks again and greetings, Johannes Schade (talk) 06:30, 12 May 2020 (UTC)
Hi there. I have recently removed the WP:BLPPROD you placed at Yuyu-uta. At the time that you did so it had multiple citations. BLPPROD requires there be no citations (including things like external links). Also it is not considered good practice to tag an article for deletion 7 minutes after creation (unless it is something like an attack or COPYVIO). Please wait at least 10 minutes and there is often little harm in waiting even longer than that. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 17:16, 12 May 2020 (UTC)
