Military History WikiProject Newcomer of the Year

		The WikiProject Barnstar
		For your contributions to Military History in 2016, in particular with regards to the articles Iazyges and on Velites and for Roman history in general, I have the honor of presenting you with this WikiProject Barnstar. For the Military history WikiProject, TomStar81 (Talk) 09:55, 1 January 2017 (UTC)

Thanks User:TomStar81! Iazyges Consermonor Opus meum 09:56, 1 January 2017 (UTC)

Newspaperarchive.com

Hi Iazyges, hope you're enjoying the New Year. A couple of months ago, you sent me an email regarding Newspaperarchive.com access through TWL (Talk page notification). I filled out the form at that time, but have not heard anything since. I see on the TWL page that processing can take some time, but I wanted to check on the status in case something has gone wrong. Thank you! Antepenultimate (talk) 14:37, 1 January 2017 (UTC)

@Antepenultimate: Hello! Happy new year to you as well. I checked the status of your request, and it appears an email requesting access for you wasn't sent, but it was marked as having been sent by our files. Sorry for the screw up on my end, you should get your access soon. Iazyges Consermonor Opus meum 15:01, 1 January 2017 (UTC)

Awesome, thank you! Antepenultimate (talk) 15:21, 1 January 2017 (UTC)

4th GA Cup - Round 2

WikiProject Good Articles's 2016-2017 GA Cup Greetings, GA Cup competitors! December 29th marked the end of the first round, after it was extended from its previously scheduled conclusion at the end of November. Because of the smaller pool of contestants this year, it was decided to keep sign-ups open throughout the month of December. This extension proved to be very helpful as we saw that more users signed up and completed many reviews. Krishna Chaitanya Velaga earned an impressive 402 points, followed by Cartoon network freak with a close 338 points. Shearonink who signed up after our extension was in third with 170 points. We had a rule clarification in Round 1 which was that many articles were being passed with blatant copyright violations and plagarism occurring in the articles. Thus, the judges have concluded that if an article is passed even if it has a copyright violation/plagarism, we will not provide points for that article as it wouldn't be considered a "complete review" under the scoring rules. In the end, 94 articles were reviewed by 14 users who will all advance to Round 2. The judges had planned on having 16 contestants advance but since only 14 did, we are changing the pools in this round. We will be having 2 pools of 3 and 2 pools of 4 in Round 2, with the top 2 in each pool advancing to Round 3 as well as the top participant ("9th place") of all remaining competitors. Round 2 will begin on January 1 at 00:00:00 UTC and will end on January 29 at 23:59:59 UTC. Information about Round 2 and the pools can be found here. Cheers from 3family6, Figureskatingfan, Jaguar, MrWooHoo, and Zwerg Nase! To subscribe or unsubscribe to future GA Cup newsletters, please add or remove your name to our mailing list. If you are a participant, you will be on the mailing list no matter what as this is the easiest way to communicate between all participants.

Hi Iazyges. Thanks for helping to reduce the move to Commons backlog, it is much appreciated :). I noticed that you are using CommonsHelper, which makes a mess (example) out of transferred files transcluding {{Self}}. Could you please take a moment fix the file description page when this happens? Thanks, FASTILY 09:20, 2 January 2017 (UTC)

• @Fastily: Sure thing, I noticed it awhile back, but at the time I was using Magog's code in common.js and thought it was causing it. I'll go back and fix them, thanks for notifying me! Iazyges Consermonor Opus meum 16:05, 2 January 2017 (UTC)

My request

Dear Mr. Iazyges! I am here to make a request. I am new to wikipedia and a high school student. I am not much familliar with it. I need someone excellent and perfect to guide me. And I think you are the one. I want you to adopt me on wikipedia and guide me how to use it. I am sure that you will not dissapoint me and will help me. Thanks.

@Sultan sulaiman mughal: Sure thing! Feel free to add {{Adoptee|Iazyges}} to your user page to identify that you have been adopted. What areas will you mostly work in? Your user page talks of both history and math, I will be of far more help in history (especially military history). Iazyges Consermonor Opus meum 16:03, 2 January 2017 (UTC)

Hi. Your December archive contains 2 messages from me, the first to which you replied and a second on the same subject, to which you didn't. I also note from your January archive that you had a similar message from another editor, to which you replied and appeared to identify the problem. There is no update to the situation I reported to you on 29-12-16. Even if you are not able to resolve this situation, I would appreciate an explanation of where this process now is.

L1A1 self-loading rifle was discussed somewhere?

Your December move makes reference to RM. Do you mean a full move discussion somewhere? Or a technical request? The same thing is now back at WP:RMTR requesting upper case. I looked for this pagen in the December history of WP:RMTR but couldn't find it. Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 17:17, 7 January 2017 (UTC)

@EdJohnston: It was Technical, I need to start doing TR but I keep forgetting. Iazyges Consermonor Opus meum 17:19, 7 January 2017 (UTC)

Another editor declined the technical move, and it is now being discussed in a full RM at Talk:L1A1 self-loading rifle#Requested move 7 January 2017. You can comment there if you wish. Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 18:11, 7 January 2017 (UTC)

I went into the history of WP:RMTR for December but couldn't find anything about the L1A1 self-loading rifle. If you take action on a request at RMTR, it helps if you click on the 'move' link in the Template:RMassist, because that one (a) performs the move, (b) creates an edit summary with a permalink to the request. For an example, see this technical move that I did a while back. The edit summary is "EdJohnston moved page Do You Mind (disambiguation) to Do You Mind: Requested by Gorthian at WP:RM/TR: WP:MALPLACED". In the edit summary, 'Requested' is italicized. If you click on 'Requested' it links to the place it was proposed on RMTR by User:Gorthian. Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 19:09, 7 January 2017 (UTC)

User:Sfan00 IMG In part, the bible (especially the wheat from the chaff). Iazyges Consermonor Opus meum 00:45, 25 January 2017 (UTC)

I'm waiting for an answer

[1] I just tried to fix my own comments again (3rd/4th time?) but couldn't as you've edited it while I wait for you to reply. Instead you just removed my question, and the fallacious warning on my page (which I've asked you to explain). You have a choice, either you confirm you'll let me fix my own edits on my own individual assessment, or I shall take this to ANI for disruptive editing. Widefox; talk 04:02, 25 January 2017 (UTC)

January 2017

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you remove or change other editors' legitimate talk page comments. And edit warring. I can fix my own comments, you must stop or next edit I will go to ANI. You need to read "Individual Assessments" and stop acting like you OWN 1. the article 2. my assessment 3. my comments. Agreed or not? Widefox; talk 04:05, 25 January 2017 (UTC)

I have never acted like I owned it, I merely pointed out that the points you made were against GAR's scope. I did make a mistake with the Close paraphrasing. For the assessment I crossed out things that had been resolved, or that were not issues. Iazyges Consermonor Opus meum 04:08, 25 January 2017 (UTC)

Why are you editing my comments? Widefox; talk 04:08, 25 January 2017 (UTC)

@Widefox: What comments? The one where I removed GA5b? I removed it because 5b isn't a criteria, 5 alone is, and it relates to stability. I will also not that there are no restrictions on removing warnings from my page. At all. See WP:UP#CMT. Iazyges Consermonor Opus meum 04:11, 25 January 2017 (UTC)

Did you actually read WP:REFACTOR ? Widefox; talk 04:12, 25 January 2017 (UTC)

(ec/my lost edit) (straw man argument, nobody is talking about who can do what on your page) Widefox; talk 04:23, 25 January 2017 (UTC)

@Widefox: Did you actually read "it is not one of Wikipedia's policies or guidelines, and is therefore an essay."? In no way am I bound by essays. Iazyges Consermonor Opus meum 04:12, 25 January 2017 (UTC)

Regardless of the dispute, I am ready to move forward and work on the issues that are within GAR scope, which does not include MOS. Iazyges Consermonor Opus meum 04:16, 25 January 2017 (UTC)

Then read WP:TPO (guideline) Never edit or move someone's comment to change its meaning, even on your own talk page.

Striking text constitutes a change in meaning, and should only be done by the user who wrote it or someone acting at their explicit request. Widefox; talk 04:23, 25 January 2017 (UTC)

User:Iazyges Can you confirm, that by "Regardless of the dispute," what you're saying is, you're confirming that you:

1. won't let me fix my own comments
2. won't stop your actions despite forcing another user to try to get you to stop editing my comments
3. won't stop edit warring and disruptive editing
4. all per policy and guideline
5. You recognise that you're forcing me to go to WP:ANI to get an admin to sort this behavioural issue. Widefox; talk 04:29, 25 January 2017 (UTC)

@Widefox: I cannot confirm those things, as literally none are true. I have long stopped messing with your comments, and reverting you, I apologized for ABF, and reverting you on the close to copyright, and I have multiple times asked for us to just fix the article rather than arguing. I have no idea how you can get any of that out of "let's fix the issues". Iazyges Consermonor Opus meum 04:33, 25 January 2017 (UTC)

See WP:LISTEN.

1. If you undo or refactor any of my comments again, I will report your disruptive behaviour to ANI to get you blocked. Understood?
2. Please acknowledge that you understand the GAR is an individual assessment (see guideline). Any more disruption or edit warring where I can't edit my own GAR or can't revert it back to having my own edits at my GAR due to you changing my comments and I'll report you. Understood? Right, that's wasted hours, now I'm going to revert my comments back to before you started striking them out, and merge back subsequent ones. Do not edit for the few mins while I do that, thanks. Widefox; talk 05:00, 25 January 2017 (UTC)

User:Widefox Considering that I have both already fixed them, and asked innumerable times for us to fix the article (at least twice above), sounds great. Iazyges Consermonor Opus meum 05:02, 25 January 2017 (UTC)
