User talk:Gruesome Gary

Hello Gruesome Gary! Welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. If you decide that you need help, check out Wikipedia:Where to ask a question, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Please remember to sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. Finally, Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This is considered an important guideline in Wikipedia. Even a short summary is better than no summary. An edit summary is even more important if you delete any text; otherwise, people may think you're being sneaky or even vandalizing. Below are some recommended guidelines to facilitate your involvement.

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 05:06, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

Hello Gruesome Gary!

• The New Pages Patrol is currently struggling to keep up with the influx of new articles needing review. We could use a few extra hands to help.
• We think that someone with your activity and experience is very likely to meet the guidelines for granting.
• Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time, but it requires a strong understanding of Wikipedia’s CSD policy and notability guidelines.
• Kindly read the tutorial before making your decision, and feel free to post on the project talk page with questions.
• If patrolling new pages is something you'd be willing to help out with, please consider applying here.

Thank you for your consideration. We hope to see you around!

Hi there. I noticed in this edit you added a new article with a precise title formatted as "Village name, Higher subdivision name".

At the same time, the simple title "Village name" was occupied by another similar topic. It's apparent you noticed it, because you placed a hatnote at the top of the new article to link to the other topic.

However, it's unlikely that a reader would land at "Village name, Higher subdivision name" and be looking for "Village name" in another jurisdiction. So the hatnote didn't make sense. If anything, it's the reverse - someone might look up just "Village name" and expect to be able to find another place.

When you notice this sort of a thing in the future, please feel free to move the article at "Village name" to be more precise, and then edit that newly created redirect in order to disambiguate the base village name title and link all topics named the same way.

TIA. --Joy (talk) 09:11, 18 December 2025 (UTC)
