66th Oscars (1994)
Hi, and happy new year. I've resumed improving Oscar ceremony lists now that I'm done with Christmas, I was hoping if you can give me opinions and comments on Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/66th Academy Awards/archive1 as you have done for my other Oscar ceremonies? I would like to receive feedback so I could make necessary improvements. Regards.

71st Oscars (1999)
Hi, I was hoping if you can give me opinions and comments for the 71st Academy Awards regarding Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/71st Academy Awards/archive1 as you have done for my other Oscar ceremonies?

Please remember
That per WP:BRD you are to undertake a dialogue with other editors when your bold changes are reverted and not Edit War. Please also note that until content disputes are resolved the Status Quo before the dispute is maintained until a new consensus is agreed on. MisterShiney ✉ 23:29, 23 February 2014 (UTC)
- Correct. I'm surprised that an experienced editor like Reywas92 would edit war like this. Per BRD they should stick to the talk page at Talk:House of Cards (U.S. TV series) and get consensus before attempting such a change, especially since it has been challenged. Those subheadings are standard practice and not worth fighting over. Keep the status quo version. -- Brangifer (talk) 01:07, 24 February 2014 (UTC)

Kick the bucket

Please reconsider, or revert, your closure at Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2014 December 8#Template:Infobox academic division, which offers no reasoning, and appears to be a vote count rather than an appraisal of the discussion.

Leelah's Law
Hi Reywas92. I reverted your redirect of Leelah's Law because there is a nine day old merge discussion here: talk:Death of Leelah Alcorn#Merge Leelah's Law. As you can see, the merge/redirect is controversial, with three options on the table. The discussion should remain in place for 30 days and be closed formally by an uninvolved admin.- MrX 11:33, 21 January 2015 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Electoral history of Hillary Rodham Clinton, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Socialist Workers Party (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

Happy birthday!
ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Canvassing
It appears that you have been canvassing—leaving messages on a biased choice of users' talk pages to notify them of an ongoing community decision, debate, or vote. While friendly notices are allowed, they should be limited and nonpartisan in distribution and should reflect a neutral point of view. Please do not post notices which are indiscriminately cross-posted, which espouse a certain point of view or side of a debate, or which are selectively sent only to those who are believed to hold the same opinion as you. Remember to respect Wikipedia's principle of consensus-building by allowing decisions to reflect the prevailing opinion among the community at large. Thank you.

Plagiarism Report
Dear Reywas92,
It is my duty as a sometimes wikieditor to report directly to you that, as it is my knowledge, you added the Duties section to the page Secretary of State of Indiana, and as I have observed, it appears that you have, whether or not intentionally, plagiarized on that page. This plagiarizing is the specific copying of sections from the Secretary of State page on IN.gov. Notice here:
Your article: Duties The Office of Secretary of State is one of five constitutional officers originally designated in Indiana's State Constitution of 1816. Sixty-one Hoosiers have served as the third highest-ranking official in state government. Early duties of the office included the maintenance of state records and preservation of the state seal. But as state government expanded, so did the responsibilities of the Secretary of State. Present responsibilities include chartering of new business, regulation of the securities industry, administering regulations relating to the registration of motorized vehicle dealers, and oversight of state elections.
IN.gov's article (plagiarized sections in bold and italics)
What does the office do and what is it responsible for? "The Office of Secretary of State is one of five constitutional offices originally designated in Indiana's State Constitution of 1816. Sixty-one Hoosiers have served as the third highest-ranking official in state government.
Historically the duties of the office included the maintenance of state records and preservation of the state seal, but as state government expanded so did the responsibilities of the Secretary of State. Present duties include chartering of new business, regulation of the securities industry, oversight of state elections, commissioning of notaries public, registration of trademarks and licensing of vehicle dealerships throughout Indiana. " [1]
This was all accomplished apparently without the use of citation, quotation, or direct on-paragraph reference to the site, which is required in such a case. Correct me if this was not your doing, but, from what i gathered in the page history, the Duties section appeared in your edit. Also I am not aware if any other sections have been plagiarized.
Thank you for your time,
Good will and good luck,

Please note that Manual of Style is a guideline, and is not mandatory. It is not a policy, and edit-warring for purposes of upholding MOS has been strongly criticized by a number of Arbitration Committees. Following MOS blindly without consideration fopr what is best fopr an article riases MOS to the level of a de facto policy. If you wish MOS to become a policy, please start an RfC and do so. In the mantime, please don't do change the position of the image again, the article looks just fine the way it is. Thanks. BMK (talk) 21:12, 17 May 2016 (UTC)
- User:Beyond My Ken, I don't follow anything blindly, I believe it looks terrible to have an image on the left beginning in one section and pushing the underlined header of the next to the center of the page, and following guidelines, regardless of their requirement, is not "mucking around". With the number of times I've been reflexively reverted by people who did not actually look at the changes, my single revert is not edit-warring and does not warrant your need for bold italics. Thanks to your reflexive revert, you also undid my copyediting of an incorrect colon. Reywas92Talk 21:28, 17 May 2016 (UTC)

Presidential debates
Just noticed your actions regarding the Democratic and Republican Party presidential debates. I really don't understand your problem with individual articles on widely covered, thus clearly individually notable events. These are so much more notable than probably tens of thousands of articles on particular TV episodes, music tracks or computer games. Don't tell me WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. There are clear notability criteria, and each of these events clearly passes them. I missed the RfC, and actually think these should have been submitted to a regular WP:AfD, but for some reason others did agree with your action. Now would you please at least take care, all content is merged back? You just blanked the pages, but didn't copy over the whole content, which would include quite some cleanup, edits by others, airtime tables and categories. Thanks. --PanchoS (talk) 08:11, 7 June 2016 (UTC)
- User:PanchoS: No they really aren't notable by themselves, they're news events, with notability in the context of the election as a whole. AFD is meant for deletion of content of pages as whole, not mergers, and I have been told not to bring merge proposals to AFD in the past, or people want to keep the article not realizing I do want to keep the content but in another location. The one AFD that was started for the ninth debate was likely to go the same way as the RFC to which you were pinged. My Wikipedia philosophy (and possibly that of all eight other commenters there) is that information should be covered as concisely as possible, so if one page can accommodate everything about the debates, why shouldn't it? Why should someone interested in what went on have to go to another nine subarticles after reading the main one? The same goes for the state primaries: sure, you can find important information about the D and R primaries and general, but why should they be separate articles when it's the same topic? One page can report the related info perfectly fine, and I hope to address that soon. I'll check for the differences made, but the cleanup looks like basic changes for article vs. section formatting that doesn't need to go back, including categories.

Hillary Clinton campaign endorsements
Hi there. Just throwing you a message regarding the Clinton campaign endorsements article. A few frequent editors of the article and I decided a number of weeks ago to split Clinton's endorsements article into two sections. There is the article of endorsements for her Democratic Party nomination: List of Hillary Clinton presidential campaign primary endorsements, 2016, and another article of endorsements for the general election: List of Hillary Clinton presidential campaign endorsements, 2016. We decided this because the article would be too large if both sections were included. So, there's no need to divide the article for general election endorsements into two sections. Let me know if you have any questions! MrVenaCava (talk) 03:38, 6 July 2016 (UTC)

Hi Reywas,
I see that an anonymous editor has recreated a separate list for Australia again. I agree with you that it's redundant to have two separate lists, but I'm not really involved enough in this discussion to climb in and revert. --Slashme (talk) 09:25, 22 July 2016 (UTC)

Street lamps in Chennai
I fixed the reference and the text myself, and removed the warning. And since not even the source gives power consumption in "megawatt hours", only in megawatt, which is of no use here, I removed that part of it, so that the text now only tells what the cost per month is... - Tom | Thomas.W talk 21:41, 21 November 2016 (UTC)
- It's supposed to be megawatts, that's how power consumption is measured when street lamps are in use. And you also reverted a grammar correction I made... Reywas92Talk 03:04, 22 November 2016 (UTC)
- Utility bills are based on "kilowatt/megawatt hours", so to make it make sense you should either say that "there are 248,000 street lamps that when all are lit draw 27 megawatt", or that "the energy consumption is x megawatt hours, for a monthly cost of x rupees", not "they draw 27 megawatt for a monthly cost of 60.000.000 rupees", since it would make readers think that the cost of electricity (per kilowatt hour) is outrageous in India (automatically assuming it should read "megawatt hours"). And while I might have removed a small improvement in grammar I also corrected your mistake of not changing the access date in the reference... - Tom | Thomas.W talk 03:22, 22 November 2016 (UTC)
