Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Soviet Storm: World War II in the East, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Cuban. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Precious

adjutants
Thank you for creating quality articles, such as Adolf Hitler's adjutants, and expanding them, such as Edda Göring and Adolf Hitler, for inspiring reviews of good and featured articles as an adjutant of precise sourced knowledge, - you are an awesome Wikipedian!

--Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:13, 8 September 2014 (UTC)

Thank you so much. I'm happy to help. :) Jonas Vinther (speak to me!) 13:30, 8 September 2014 (UTC)
By the way, Gerda, I'm currently expanding Um Himmels Willen, I'm convinced you know it? I myself watch it everyday, so I decided to expand the article - your input is welcome. Vielen dank. :) Jonas Vinther (speak to me!) 13:43, 8 September 2014 (UTC)
Interesting, sorry, never even heard of it, too busy here ;) - Vielen Dank! - {{ill}} is a very useful template for inter-language-links: the red link is replaced by a blue one automatically when an article in English is created, - please use abundantly ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:38, 8 September 2014 (UTC)
Haha, ich Weiss, I always confuse V with F because I'm Danish. :) I did not know about the {{ill}} thing but I do now, so Vielen Dank :) Jonas Vinther (speak to me!) 15:44, 8 September 2014 (UTC)
Glad to help ;) - Ich weiß noch was: another very useful template is {{lang}} which should precede every term/phrase in a different language than English, every time it's used, - helping people with screenreaders. Use even more abundantly, starting with the title of {{lang|de|Um Himmels willen}}! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:46, 8 September 2014 (UTC)
Another template? Wikipedia surely likes templates. I will use them as much as I can, but properly won't change those on Um Himmels Willen until later or tomorrow. Jonas Vinther (speak to me!) 16:00, 8 September 2014 (UTC)

Re: GA

Hey. I could, but I have a personal rule against reviewing an article twice, mainly just because to me more eyes are better. Wizardman 01:37, 23 September 2014 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of Walther von Brauchitsch

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Walther von Brauchitsch 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 TheQ Editor -- TheQ Editor (talk) 02:01, 27 September 2014 (UTC)

Images in the userspace

Hi Jonas- just a note to say that non-free images can only be used in articles, and so not userpages and the like. See WP:NFC for more information. I have removed the non-free images you were using on your userpage and replaced them with placeholders. J Milburn (talk) 14:29, 27 September 2014 (UTC)

GA Cup - September 2014 Newsletter

WikiProject Good Articles's 2014-15 GA Cup - September 2014

Welcome to the GA Cup! In less than 72 hours, the competition will begin! Before you all start reviewing nominations we want to make sure you understand the following:

  • This is a friendly competition so we don't want any cheating/breaking of the rules. However, if you do believe someone is going against the rules, notify the judges. All the rules are listed here.
  • If you are a new editor or new to reviewing Good article nominations, it is imperative that you read the 4 essays/guides listed under FAQ #4. If you do not understand something, ask a judge for clarification ASAP!
  • The competition is not entirely about who can review the most nominations. Per the "Scoring" page, there is different criteria in which you can earn more points. Theoretically, you could review 10 nominations and have 80 points but another user could have reviewed 5 nominations and have 100 points. Yes, we want you to review as many nominations as you can as this will greatly increase the number of points you earn, but you must also keep in mind that every single review will be looked over by a judge. If we find that you are "rubber-stamping" (in other words, the review is not complete but you still passed/failed the article) you may be disqualified without warning.

Also, rather than creating a long list on what to remember, make sure you have read the "Scoring", "Submissions", and "FAQ" pages.

Now for the one question that we guarantee you have: how on earth will the rounds work???

Yes, we never actually had a solid platform regarding how the rounds would work because we had no idea how many people would sign-up. Even though the competition is about to begin, because sign-ups are still open, it is impossible to say exactly how each round will work. As of now, we can confirm that Round 1 will have everyone compete in one big pool. Depending on the final number of participants after sign-ups close, a to-be-determined number of participants will move on (highest scorers will move on) to Round 2. We guarantee that the top 15 will move on, so make sure you aim for those top positions! Moving on to Round 2, participants will be split into pools of even numbers (for example, every pool will have 6 participants). The pools will be determined by a computer program that places participants by random. More details regarding Round 2 will be sent out at the end of Round 1.

It is important to note that the GA Cup will run on UTC time, so make sure you know what time that is for where you live! On that note, the GA Cup will start on October 1 at 0:00:01 UTC; Round 1 will end on October 29 at 23:59:59 UTC; Round 2 will commence on November 1 at 0:00:01 UTC. All reviews must be started after or on the start time of the round. If you qualify for Round 2 but do not complete a review before the end of Round 1, the review can be carried over to Round 2; however that review will not count for Round 1. Prior to the start of the the second round, participants who qualify to move on will be notified.

Finally, if you know anyone else that might be interesting in participating, let them know! Sign-ups close on October 15 so there is still plenty of time to join in on the action!

If you have any further questions, contact one of the judges or leave a message here.

On October 16 or 17, 2014, check the Pools page as we will post the exact number of participants that will move on to the next round. Because this number will be determined past the halfway mark of Round 1, we encourage you to aim to be in the top 15 as the top 15 at the end of the round are guaranteed to move on.

Cheers from NickGibson3900, Dom497, TheQ Editor and Figureskatingfan.

Battle of Kolubara

Hi. Thanks for taking the time to carry out the GA review. Cheers, 23 editor (talk) 11:49, 1 October 2014 (UTC)

No problem, glad to help. :) Jonas Vinther (speak to me!) 12:36, 1 October 2014 (UTC)
23 editor, the points I made in the GA-review should be looked over as there are some minor errors here and there. Jonas Vinther (speak to me!) 12:43, 1 October 2014 (UTC)
No problem, I'll look over your suggestions and make changes accordingly. Cheers. 23 editor (talk) 19:50, 1 October 2014 (UTC)
That sounds great 23 editor. I would really appreciate that. :) Jonas Vinther (speak to me!) 10:29, 2 October 2014 (UTC)

GA Cup - IMPORTANT NOTICE

Hi, I'm Dom497, one of the judges for the GA Cup. It seems like you are off to a great start and I just wanted to inform you on something.

You should never pass an article when you are leaving suggestions to improve the article. Why? Because there are people who will ignore you (remember, you promoted their article so why does it matter to listen to you now). Also, most of the suggestions you are making are actually good ones...in the sense that if the nominator ignores them, the article doesn't meet GA standards....so if you ever make suggestions, put the article on hold and let the nominator address them. Please make note of this for future reviews. Thank-you and good luck!--Dom497 (talk) 19:38, 1 October 2014 (UTC)

Dom497, as I stated on the review pages, the majority of the points I made are suggestions, which means the editors who worked on the article will make the final decision about implementing them. If the GA-nominator or another major contributor decides to ignore the suggestions or fix the errors mentioned (which no one has done so far) I will change it myself. In any case, I don't pass articles which contain major errors. But thanks for the notice. Jonas Vinther (speak to me!) 19:45, 1 October 2014 (UTC)
Jonas, I'm Figureskatingfan, another GA Cup judge. You should know that you're missing out on some potentially valuable points by passing these articles so quickly. Remember, there's a section for review length. If the article's nominator has a response, that counts towards the points total. We highly suggest that you wait for a response. Remember, nominators have a week to respond, and if they don't, the article should be failed. Also remember that the point is to improve articles. If you say that an article's prose should be improved, the nominator should have an opportunity to do that before the article is passed to GA. In the meantime, we won't award any points until we're satisfied that your nominators have responded. Please let us know when that is. Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 20:09, 1 October 2014 (UTC)
Christine (Figureskatingfan), I'll just withdraw from the cup. Jonas Vinther (speak to me!) 20:25, 1 October 2014 (UTC)
What's wrong with what we suggested? We're not saying your reviews are bad...they're great to be honest! All were telling you is that you should wait for the nominators to respond first. If you still want to continue in the competition, I'll give you the points for the reviews already completed on the condition that you put the article on hold in the future if needed. But if you would still like to withdraw, just let me know.--Dom497 (talk) 20:30, 1 October 2014 (UTC)
Dom497, I'm not going to put my passed articles on hold per my comments on the review pages and per my comments earlier today. Neither do I want you to break the rules or force you to make an exception for me, because that's unfair to other participants. I would like to stay in the cup but I will expect to get points for the articles I review. I easily take things personal here on Wikipedia because of previous incidents. Jonas Vinther (speak to me!) 21:23, 1 October 2014 (UTC)
I wasn't asking you to put the articles you already passed on hold. There's nothing we can do about those reviews anymore. All I was asking was for future reviews, place the article on hold (if needed). Regarding you wanting the points you deserve, we were never going to remove any points; unless you are doing something really bad, we will never take away points. Also, per the rules, you should note that the judges have the right to refuse/delay the awarding of points for any reason. And my intention was not to offend you in anyway.
In other words, you'll still get the points from your 7 unchecked reviews (once they are looked over).--Dom497 (talk) 22:44, 1 October 2014 (UTC)
Then we understand each other. Jonas Vinther (speak to me!) 23:38, 1 October 2014 (UTC)
Then everything is good? Still in? :) --Dom497 (talk) 00:18, 2 October 2014 (UTC)
Yep. :) Jonas Vinther (speak to me!) 00:54, 2 October 2014 (UTC)

Stability of article GA candidate Gary Cooper

I'd like to review this article for GA but I have some concerns about stability.

Can you summarize for me the conflicts going on with the article and on the talk page?

Is there a way the parties involved could come to some understanding before the GA Review begins?

— Cirt (talk) 17:48, 4 October 2014 (UTC)

Cirt, I don't recognize the "unstability" of the article. After my GA-expansion/improvement the article appears to be stable. Jonas Vinther (speak to me!) 19:34, 4 October 2014 (UTC)
I was concerned by this edit, and in particular this comment. Can you explain? — Cirt (talk) 19:38, 4 October 2014 (UTC)
Good point. Have a look at this edit. That edit is the work of a seven hour long improvement, so naturally I was somewhat pissed. But even so, I don't think there is any edit wars or content disputes or a serious scale. This edit is just misunderstanding and this comment was merely ... a notification. Jonas Vinther (speak to me!) 21:29, 4 October 2014 (UTC)
I'm confused though, that filmography thingy is still in there, is that okay? — Cirt (talk) 21:39, 4 October 2014 (UTC)
Cirt, my best advice is to start the review and then cite your concerns or worries at the review page. Jonas Vinther (speak to me!) 21:43, 4 October 2014 (UTC)
Okay, I may yet do that but I've asked Bede735 for their take as they seemed to be the 2nd most active user on that page lately. — Cirt (talk) 21:50, 4 October 2014 (UTC)
Okay, I will be as active as I can in the discussion. Jonas Vinther (speak to me!) 21:52, 4 October 2014 (UTC)
Sounds good. :) — Cirt (talk) 21:59, 4 October 2014 (UTC)
Suppose so. :) Jonas Vinther (speak to me!) 22:05, 4 October 2014 (UTC)

Hrm, this comment by Bede735 is not encouraging. Looks like the article isn't stable at the present time. Unfortunately, I suggest you remove your nomination -- that way perhaps you two can pursue a compromise between yourselves, or if need be, some form of WP:Dispute resolution. Sorry dude, wish it wasn't the case. :( — Cirt (talk) 03:38, 5 October 2014 (UTC)

You keep forgetting the last step in GA reviews

Hello Jonas Vinther. You have been a great reviewer recently and you are smashing the GA Cup! However, please remember to change the class on the talk page in the WikiProject templates to GA. I have changed 3/~17 and it would be great if you could do the rest. Good luck in the GA Cup, -- NickGibson3900 Talk (GA Cup judge) 07:06, 5 October 2014 (UTC)

I don't understand? How do I change the class? Jonas Vinther (speak to me!) 10:57, 5 October 2014 (UTC)
Oh, I understand now. It's fixed NickGibson3900. Jonas Vinther (speak to me!) 16:04, 5 October 2014 (UTC)

Turuma GAN

Thank you very much for reviewing turuma. I was busy with non-wiki stuff, so I didn't even notice that the review starting before you had passed it.

I reverted a lot of your minor copyedits, though.[1] For example, "turuma" is a type of vessel, like yacht, so it's not supposed to be capitalized, and Swedish kollegium is related to "college", but has a rather different meaning. In this context, it's the equivalent of a modern ministry.[2] Kammarkollegiet is probably the only modern Swedish government agency that still retains that term.

If you feel I reverted over-zealously, let me know. Again, though, thanks for your effecient, prompt review.

Det helt iorden, Peter. :) Jonas Vinther (speak to me!) 18:51, 6 October 2014 (UTC)
