Clive Cussler edit undone?
Hi, seems pretty hard on his second wife Joan Howarth, who announced his death on facebook and twitter not be noted on his biography. How is that unhelpful?Claremcvs (talk) 12:50, 27 February 2020 (UTC)
- Claremcvs, you deleted an entire section as well as a citation, add the info again but actually incorporate it into the existing text, instead of deleting it. Bᴇʀʀᴇʟʏ • Talk to me∕What have I been doing 14:38, 27 February 2020 (UTC)
Finland is not part of Scandinavia
Finland is not part of Scandinavia. It has never been, even when it was under Sweden's rule, it was not considered to be part of Scandinavia. The Finnish culture is very different to the Scandinavian ones, before Christianity spread to Northern Europe, Finns worshipped different gods to the Scandinavians, the mythology is different, the traditions are different. Yes Finland adopted certain things from Sweden when it was under it's rule, Finland also adopted things from Russia when it was under its rule yet it is not considered to be a Slavic, because it is not. To say that Finland is a Scandinavian country just because centuries ago it was ruled by a one, is the same as to say the Scots are English. Ask any Nordic person whether Finland is part of Scandinavia and they will say no, look at any school book used in Nordic countries and in none of them will it say Finland is part of Scandinavia. Geologically and culturally Finland is not part of Scandinavia. The Finnish language is not related the Scandinavian languages, the closest language to Finnish is Estonian and Finland has a lot in common with Estonia, yet Estonia is a Baltic country not Scandinavian not even Nordic. Just because a misconception is widespread it does not mean it is true. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.130.44.44 (talk) 17:36, 28 February 2020 (UTC)
- Apologies! I'm not denying what you are saying but the reason I removed your edit was that it wasn't cited to a reliable source. For example, you could have cited the text to this Worldatlas article as well as that, you also removed another country. Add the information again with citations, and I'm sure it won't be reverted. Also, I suggest creating an account to stop you being flagged by the system, and sign your posts with four tildes like this:

Rollback granted
Hi Berrely. 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! – Juliancolton | Talk 17:49, 28 February 2020 (UTC)
Draft: Meredith McCrindle
Thank you Berrely for your prompt review! Wow! Thank you! I am totally new to Wikipedia and still learning the format and rules. I have a marketing back ground and tend to write in the promotional, but have really tried to make the content more objective. My edits are specifically switching from a promotional format to just the straight forward facts. By eliminating the promotional aspect I am hoping to establish notability. The subject is known to me as a student. Please let me know any other suggestions you might have to improving this page. Thanks so much! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Harpmom39 (talk • contribs) 23:41, 28 February 2020 (UTC)
- Harpmom39, apologies, I made a mistake! I failed to notice that your article was in the draft space and as you did not add an edit summary simply thought you were vandalising the page. I have reverted your article back to the prior version.
- Apologies,
- Berrely Bᴇʀʀᴇʟʏ • Talk to me∕What have I been doing 09:06, 29 February 2020 (UTC)

Aniplex Edit
Regarding your message:
Hello, I'm Berrely. I noticed that in this edit to Aniplex of America, you removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary.
I did leave an explanation: Removed "revenue." This is a BS revenue estimate from one of those websites that estimates revenue on every company often with absolutely no inside knowledge of the companiy's actual revenue. Aniplex has never published revenue figures for its US subsidiary, and no reputable research firm or journalist has ever published an estimate.
I'll exapand in the talk page for Aniplex of America. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tmpst (talk • contribs) 23:49, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
- Tmpst, apologies, please add back the edit, maybe next time you could add a more descriptive summary such as,
Removed revenue value as it is unverifiable. Bᴇʀʀᴇʟʏ • Talk to me∕What have I been doing 07:51, 13 March 2020 (UTC)
Request
OK. I added references here: Draft:List of waterfalls in Estonia. Please move it back to mainspace. Thanks in advance!--Estopedist1 (talk) 08:11, 13 March 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Estopedist1, that wasn't just the reason I moved it to draft space, it was also because there are many other waterfalls in Estonia and you only listed 3. I recommend you add a few more and then click the Submit Draft for Review at the middle of the page. Bᴇʀʀᴇʟʏ • Talk to me∕What have I been doing 08:15, 13 March 2020 (UTC)
- as requested. I added more. As the draft it can stay months or years. And red link in Outline of Estonia stays--Estopedist1 (talk) 08:31, 13 March 2020 (UTC)
PremKumar Sharma
Hi, You just tagged an article Prem Kumar Sharma (astrologer) for deletion with reason no content. You must give some time to add content. You marked this article for deletion in less than a minute.NeotanPix (talk) 10:00, 13 March 2020 (UTC)

New page reviewer granted
Hi Berrely. 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:
- Be nice to new editors. They are usually not aware that they are doing anything wrong. Do make use of the message feature when tagging pages for maintenance so that they are aware.
- You will frequently be asked by users to explain why their page is being deleted. Please be formal and polite in your approach to them – even if they are not.
- If you are not sure what to do with a page, don't review it – just leave it for another reviewer.
- Accuracy is more important than speed. Take your time to patrol each page. Use the message feature to communicate with article creators and offer advice as much as possible.
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. signed, Rosguill talk 02:06, 13 March 2020 (UTC)
- I am afraid I've removed the New Page Reviewer permission. It was, sadly, not appropriate for you to retain the permission at this time. You can review the significant number of concerns which have accumulated on your talk page (below) for detailed reasons as to what is going wrong. My most general concern is that your low quality, high speed (rushed) page reviews could be discouraging new users from continuing to contribute to Wikipedia. Wikipedia should be a fun hobby for you to participate in, and my removal of your permission should not be seen as a rebuke, just a gentle reminder that you're being a little too enthusiastic. Nick (talk) 17:24, 13 March 2020 (UTC)
- All I'd add here is that if you're interested in applying for this permission in the future, I would highly recommend setting up CSD and PROD logging in your WP:TWINKLE preferences so that when you mark articles for deletion it gets tracked in a log. You may also want to participate in more AfD discussions, since that's a good way to get hands on practice assessing articles that doesn't involve you tagging the articles yourself. A few months from now if you've demonstrated improvement I would reconsider granting permissions. signed, Rosguill talk 20:18, 13 March 2020 (UTC)
Page deletion
Hi
You have deleted wrong page the page is about animal rescuer she ran a foundation known to be as ACF (Ayesha Chundrigar Foundation). the organization and the lady is notable with international coverage , she is featured in Voice Of America , Daily Mail , The News , Dawn etc notable news websites. for example this page Abdul Sattar Edhi
Memon KutianaWala (talk) 09:50, 13 March 2020 (UTC)
Can you please remove the deletion tag as i have added NBC , VOA references now she is featured in international media and as well as National too.
Memon KutianaWala (talk) 11:16, 13 March 2020 (UTC)
- Memon KutianaWala, it wasn't just that, it had poor grammar and was under sourced when I reviewed it. I have instead decided to move the article to the draftspace, as it is clearly not finished. I recommend next time you prepare the page in your sandbox before creating an effectively blank page and adding as you please. Bᴇʀʀᴇʟʏ • Talk to me∕What have I been doing 12:43, 13 March 2020 (UTC)
Hello brother
what do you mean by under sourced ? i am doing this voluntarily i wish you could help me to fix the grammar issue.
Thanks
Memon KutianaWala (talk) 12:53, 13 March 2020 (UTC)
- Memon KutianaWala, I mean when I read it it was under sourced. Bad grammar are things such as random semicolons, spaces before commas and question marks, like what you just said:
...do you mean by under sourced ?. When it is ready press: Submit draft for review. Bᴇʀʀᴇʟʏ • Talk to me∕What have I been doing 13:00, 13 March 2020 (UTC)
I got you thank you sir i will fix it and then submit it for review :) have a great day

Speedy deletion declined: Niet Molotoff
Hello Berrely, and thanks for patrolling new pages! I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Niet Molotoff, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: seems to be in English to me. You may wish to review the Criteria for Speedy Deletion before tagging further pages. Thank you. ϢereSpielChequers 15:03, 13 March 2020 (UTC)
Peter Orlebar Bishop - Speedy Deletion
Hello, I just created a page for Peter Orlebar Bishop, which has now been tagged for speedy deletion due to its length (I think).
Is there a minimum length that a page should be? The information included is referenced and should all be correct.
Thanks.CalShoosmith (talk) 15:19, 13 March 2020 (UTC)
Speedy deletion contested: Peter Orlebar Bishop
Hello Berrely. I am just letting you know that I contested the speedy deletion of Peter Orlebar Bishop, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Does not meet A1, has context. Does not meet A7, see WP:NACADEMIC - "e person has been an elected member of a highly selective and prestigious scholarly society or association (e.g., a National Academy of Sciences or the Royal Society)" - article claims he was elected to the royal society. Thank you. DannyS712 (talk) 15:40, 13 March 2020 (UTC)
Please slow down
Hi there, I noticed several issues today in your reviewing and application of CSD tags. While I am definitely on the deletionist side of things, few if any of your CSD tags have been accurate. Please read this thoroughly before continuing. Praxidicae (talk) 15:52, 13 March 2020 (UTC)

Your report at AIV
I added a comment to your report at Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism. You incorrectly reported IP 2600:1700:D6E0:65E0:4DFF:ED93:E58D:8803 for edits on Dan Patrick (politician), however the IP was actually removing BLP violations from the article. Please slow down and check your work carefully, especially before accusing an editor of vandalism. Schazjmd (talk) 15:51, 24 March 2020 (UTC)
- Schazjmd, apologies! I got mixed up with the IP above them as their IPs looked quite similar. Bᴇʀʀᴇʟʏ • Talk∕Contribs 17:50, 24 March 2020 (UTC)
- Well, the IP above them wasn't vandalizing the article either. Please take more care. Schazjmd (talk) 17:54, 24 March 2020 (UTC)
Oh great
I see you did it to me here as well. I'm trying very hard to stay polite and reasonable but, really, please slow down as has been requested above. This is not how we are meant to operate, and is not what Rollback is for. Please please please be careful. Thanks and best wishes 82.39.96.55 (talk) 15:12, 24 March 2020 (UTC)
- Thank you for the lovely message! I'm so glad that we have sorted this out without any shouting. We certainly need editors with your energy and if you can just, as you say, check a tiny bit before committing to an edit, I am absolutely sure that you will do well here. Best wishes 82.39.96.55 (talk) 10:04, 25 March 2020 (UTC)
About "Darts"
Berrely -- Thank you for the fixes you made to article Darts. You clearly know about the game and the rules (which I don't), so your updates definitely help.
I have two points where I disagree with your changes, though. You removed "in order" and "own" in a couple of places, and I think that these words add clarification. (I didn't examine each instance carefully, but overall I think that adding the words in question helps.) If you don't mind, can you explain why you deleted these two phrases? I don't plan to change them, but I do think they should go back in. - Jkgree (talk) 17:23, 25 March 2020 (UTC)
- Jkgree, you're welcome on Darts! I removed "in order" and "own" because they are what we call a Pleonasm; a redundant word. Take these sentences as examples,
Tom made some tea in order to help his mother with her headache
Tom made some tea to help his mother with her headache
- Both sentences have the exact same meaning. Generally, using multiple words when one will suffice makes the sentence unnecessarily wordy. If you think otherwise, feel free to edit it! This is simply my opinion! Bᴇʀʀᴇʟʏ • Talk∕Contribs 17:44, 25 March 2020 (UTC)
