Grech

The opening paragraph of a WP article doesn’t really require citations the way the body of an entry does. Unless we’re making a controversial assertion (he was the first...) or quoting, it’s ok to rely on the citations in the body of the WP article. This is a judgment call and there’s no strict rule about when to add citations to the summary at the top of an article, but IMHO the ones you’ve added to Grech are superfluous and distracting.

@Bmclaughlin9 Please feel free to remove, more references were requested at the ITN nomination Joseywales1961 (talk) 22:40, 31 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Normally info about an ITN nomination is mentioned on the article’s Talk page, but I don’t see it there. Can you point me to it? Thx. Bmclaughlin9 (talk) 03:41, 1 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Re: The New Pope

Hi. You can find summaries in Italian like this one but I recommend you write the summary in your own words as not to violate the copyright of news articles. I wrote episodes 3 and 4 just by scanning through the episode and summarising the most important events. Each summary shouldn't be longer than 200 words but it's difficult to remain within the limit when there's so much in an episode. My summaries are already a bit too long and would require some trimming. I don't have time to write the remaining episodes right now, so do try and I can always have a look if there's a problem.--TheVampire (talk) 23:05, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you TheVampire, I'll try and do it tomorrow Joseywales1961 (talk) 23:11, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Invitation to RedWarn

Hello, Joseywales1961! I'm Ed6767. I noticed you have been using Twinkle and was wondering if you'd like to beta my new tool called RedWarn, specifically designed to improve your editing experience.

RedWarn is currently in use by nearly 100 other Wikipedians, and feedback so far has been extremely positive. In fact, in a recent survey of RedWarn users, 90% of users said they would recommend RedWarn to another editor. If you're interested, please see the RedWarn tool page for more information on RedWarn's features and instructions on how to install it. Otherwise, feel free to remove this message from your talk page. If you have any further questions, please ping me or leave a message on my talk page. Your feedback is much appreciated! Ed6767 talk! 19:52, 18 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Ed6767 Thanks for the offer. Do I need Rollback permission to install, at present I am a couple of days away from completing my CVUA training and don't have that right, if it's not needed I'll certainly give it a try as TW and recent changes is a bit of a chore :) JW 1961 Talk 19:57, 18 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Joseywales1961, it works with or without! Ed6767 talk! 19:59, 18 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Ed6767, I'll Install it later on tonight and give it a go JW 1961 Talk 20:00, 18 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Counter-Vandalism Academy Graduation

CVU Academy Graduate

Hi, Joseywales1961, On behalf of the Counter-Vandalism Unit Academy, congratulations! You have successfully completed all assignments and have now graduated from the Academy. You completed your final exam with a score of 98% – well done! It's been a pleasure to work with you over the past few months. I hope you gained something from this CVUA program and do always note that the motto of the Counter Vandalism Unit is Civility – Maturity – Responsibility. Do drop by my talk page you have any questions as I am here to help. Thank you so much for your willingness to help Wikipedia in this CVUA role. Best. Cassiopeia^(talk) 09:40, 24 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Rollback granted

Hi Joseywales1961. After reviewing your request for "rollbacker", I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:

Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
Rollback should never be used to edit war.
If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
Use common sense.

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! Cabayi (talk) 06:51, 25 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you Cabayi for placing trust in me, it will be used with extreme caution JW 1961 Talk 07:00, 25 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies

It seems we have ran into an edit conflict on the Ministers of State of the Government of the 33rd Dail article. I apologise, I began editing before the notice was place and thus I confirmed my edits without checking. Apologies! Eolais|Talk|Contribs 22:01, 1 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

No worries I was just adding their names for now, thanks JW 1961 Talk 22:02, 1 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
