"Cincinnati Zoo Incident"

Hello, I'm Darth Tacker. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Killing of Harambe have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think a mistake was made, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Darth Tacker is my username.

"Killing of Harambe" is neutral, and it is also accurate. This was an incident that happened at Cincinnati Zoo, but in what way did you think the terminology was not neutral? — Darth Tacker (talk • contribs) 23:30, 26 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Adminship

Hello, Shiftyrye27. As promised, a follow-up to the initial response that I left on my talk page a few days ago. First of all, I will say that an RfA stands a much greater chance of success when the candidate is able to explain how becoming an administrator will make them a stronger contributor. If you were to be granted admin access, what would you do with it? Would you be interested primarily in the more janitorial aspects of adminship, like blocking vandals and protecting pages, or would you want to be more of a moderator, closing discussions at venues such as Articles for Deletion or becoming a regular contributor at the admin noticeboards? Such questions are important as the answers will determine how you can best prepare for your RfA.

I will add that a timeframe of one year is optimistic, even if you edit frequently during that time. When I passed my RfA in 2014 I'd been editing regularly for over four years and had achieved a five-figure edit count. Sadly, regardless of their merits, candidates without at least two or three years' editing history and several thousand contributions find it a lot harder to pass RfA. Something to consider.

Pets of Vladimir Putin article

Greetings. Here is what you wrote:

"Vladimir Putin, current president of Russia, owns a number of pets at his residencies. He is also actively involved in the conservation of many endangered Russian species.[1]"

Now, the word 'also' is not used in technical writing, so it would be good if you would please remove it. Additionally, this article is about the Pets of Vladimir Putin, and the statement in the next section states that he only two dogs, and they reside with him in Moscow, and so if he has other pets in other residences, you will need to provide sources and evidence to back up this statement. Lastly, Vladimir Putin will not always be the President (upcase) of Russia, and so to make a provision for that, I added that information after the first statement so that eventually the end date could simply be easily added without a significant revision. Actually, as an afterthought, you say there are many endangered Russian species; however, these 'species' do not respect national or nautical borders, so this is not exactly true, and hopefully you can let us know which species are specifically 'Russian' (for example, do they carry Russian passports?) Hopefully you will be able to resolve all of this information and come up with something more appropriate. Thank you for your consideration.Cindy Minard (talk) 17:20, 22 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
