Chocolate Jesus
Just pointing out to you that your notification here isn't as helpful as you no doubt intended. By reviewing the history of the page, you would see that the editor who you notified created a redirect, not the article itself. That was created by Pedant six months later. While I know that Twinkle doesn't give you the flexibility to do the notifications any way other than how it is programmed, and I'm also aware that Pedant hasn't edited in over a year so is unlikely to respond (and further that another editor has added multiple references to mainstream media, so the tagging may not even be appropriate anymore), I'd like to encourage you to actually look at the history of the article before tagging it using Twinkle. If you still believe it should be prodded, you can still do so manually, while ensuring that the most appropriate editor is notified. It's uniquely irritating to receive a PROD notice for an article one didn't create and, in particular, didn't think was notable enough for an article of its own at the time of creating the redirect, as I am sure you would appreciate.

January 1901 (month) listed at Redirects for discussion
An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect January 1901 (month). Since you had some involvement with the January 1901 (month) redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion if you have not already done so. SSTflyer 08:21, 3 July 2016 (UTC)
The Redirect from Bobby Cash (Singer) to Bobby Cash (singer) published along with article in mobile version of wikipedia
Thank you for the correction. In some versions of wikipedia i.e. the mobile version for one, the sentence concerning the Redirect from Bobby Cash(Singer) to Bobby Cash(singer lower case),still appears along with the article. Can it be rectified? And could you please address the matter. Thank you.(Catulet (talk) 18:53, 9 July 2016 (UTC))

Template edit request for {{LSR}} and {{LPR}}
These templates used to display the latese stable or preview version number and date, and provide an edit link. Their edit links currently only works with desktop editor even if you are using a mobile phone. I have a solution to making the edit link works proper with both desktop and mobile browsers, since these templates are fully protected, I hope you to make this optimize, open their sandbox page you can get the solution. -- Great Brightstar (talk) 14:37, 17 July 2016 (UTC)

Rollback granted
Hi GeoffreyT2000. 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:New admin school/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! Biblio (talk) WikiProject Reforming Wikipedia. 01:28, 29 July 2016 (UTC)

MikhaY/Ilovsky theatre
I wonder what might be the reason for moving the article back to the MikhaYlovsky, if the theatre itself, international press, and the academic sources refer to it as the Mikha-I-lovsky? I will be most happy to get to know what you think, so we might agree on the best way forward.

UNPROD Dialling (telephony)
This is not within my focus at the moment- but there is huge potential. I have done a little on Strowger- and given some rich references- do you fancy getting involved- there is the whole nerdy field of touch tone frequencies, dialing pad layout- the 1950 three letter dialing codes (different mappings in US, Europe and UK). --ClemRutter (talk) 09:24, 11 August 2016 (UTC)

Localisation of modules
Hello,
you had the audacity of reverting one of my perfectly crafted edits. Let me explain why this was foolish. </irony>
We could use a different construction than the one given above, and what you changed would be right. This is, we could make a module into an module by defining
- .
But even this would first require the notion of a ring of fractions (although this wouldn't be a particular obstruction). The point is, as it is right now, we don't even have defined a multiplication on the given object, for we only have a multiplication
- ,
where now is the module defined from R as an R-module as in the first section of the article. At most, the underlying sets are equal, but we don't get a ring structure. --Mathmensch (talk) 05:41, 14 August 2016 (UTC)
Warning tags about article Allan J. Stitt
Hi GeoffreyT2000, Thank you for reviewing, accepting and cleaning the article Allan J. Stitt. I appreciate. After your intervention, I just noticed that someone has put a couple of warning tags on top of the article. This really baffles me after the fact that you just accepted it and cleaned it accordingly. Can you please help about this situation? Much appreciated.

Round robin and subpage
Regarding this move.
Generally, it's preferred to keep redirects of moved talks/talk subpages per WP:PMVR#rr step 4, the second/third bullet points. (Image to the right about the scenario (second diagram)).
Though I'd agree there's legitimate reason this particular redirect was suppressed, because the purpose of its root talk page changed, and now redirects to the dab talk. On the other hand, there are incoming links to that now redlinked talk subpage, so I'm personally unsure what is the best approach. I personally would have kept the redirect to avoid the link breaks. Anyway, not expecting a reply, just an FYI.

- It wasn't exactly a swap, but ...along similar lines :) — Andy W. (talk · ctb) 18:04, 18 August 2016 (UTC)
- Hi GeoffreyT2000. Thought I'd do a quick followup and plug a new script I wrote that semi-automates the round-robin process. The script is here (js). Essentially, you'd simply click "Swap" and enter a page destination, the script performs the 3 moves as necessary (saves time having to manually go through the move form 3 times). (It doesn't correct redirects afterwards, that's still manual)
- Anyway feel free to adapt this script as you see fit, cheers :) — Andy W. (talk · ctb) 02:25, 25 August 2016 (UTC)

Luris and Lurs
Is there really no connection? How can one discern لوری from لور as different any more than one can discern کوردی from کورد ? Aren't their etymologies synonymous, just as Parsis (in India, that is) are to Persians or Iranis (in India) are to Iranians? Please explain the difference to me.

Respectfully, I'm going to ask you to revert your close of the above and let an administrator close it. The only keep ! Vote that expressed a policy based argument qualified his arguement with a statement accepting redirect to the community, an outcome that would also be acceptable to me. The other keep votes didn't rise above ilikeit. Thanks. John from Idegon (talk) 22:51, 26 September 2016 (UTC)
Grand Duke or Monarchy of Luxembourg
Greetings GeoffreyT2000. You recently moved Grand Duke of Luxembourg to Monarchy of Luxembourg although I don't see a clear consensus emerging from the discussion, especially taking into consideration the repeated move requests that were opposed earlier this year.

Deletion of the Waitlist Management page
Hi there GeoffreyT2000,
I see that you've proposed the Waitlist Management page for deletion because of notability requirements. However, there are a lot of independent sources that discuss strategies and methods for waitlist management and this field is becoming one of increasing concern for both academics and urban businesses. Some of these sources include;
http://streetfightmag.com/2014/06/17/6-waitlist-management-tools-for-restaurants/
http://scholarship.sha.cornell.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1415&context=articles
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2875898/
I wanted to write a page about waitlist management particularly because it's becoming an increasingly notable area of concern but doesn't have much light shed on it yet, and a Wiki page for it that connects multiple credible sources on the topic could become a growing center of information on the topic. Would it be possible to bring the page back under the pretense that I would revise it and incorporate sources that establish the topic's notability?

Deletion of MacroGeo
Dear Geoffrey hope you are well. I am really sorry for the deletion of the MacroGeo article but I must accept that your arguments stand.

Thanks for reviewing my article on CAPE-OPEN. I wish to improve it based on your comments but wanted to clarify your feedback. Is there a problem with the references already quoted or is there a need for more references for the article. I thought the latter case but wanted to clarify.

Hi, When closing AFDs you need to make sure they're the full 7 days, On quite a few you've closed them at around 9-10pm (UK time) when in those 2/3 hours someone could've !voted delete,
I'm not a bureaucratic person so I'm not gonna sit here and tell you you need to close them bang on when they were nominated (which actually we are supposed to do) however I would ask infuture you close them at perhaps around 12-1pm if you're in the UK (Go to AFD and click "closing" if that's easier),
You can be blocked for closing AFDs earlier even if it's a whole 1 hour!,

User group: New Page Reviewr
Hello GTrang.
Based on the patrols you made of new pages during a qualifying period in 2016, your account has been added to the "New page reviewers
" user group, allowing you to review new pages and mark them as patrolled, tag them for maintenance issues, or in some cases, tag them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at the New Pages Feed.
New page reviewing is a vital function for policing the quality of the encylopedia, if you have not already done so, you must read the new tutorial at New Pages Review, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the various deletion criteria. If you need more help or wish to discuss the process, please join or start a thread at page reviewer talk.
- Be nice to new users - they are often not aware of doing anything wrong.
- You will frequently be asked by users to explain why their page is being deleted - be formal and polite in your approach to them too, even if they are not.
- Don't review a page if you are not sure what to do. Just leave it for another reviewer.
- Remember that quality is quintessential to good patrolling. Take your time to patrol each article, there is no rush. Use the message feature and offer basic advice.
The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. In case of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, the right can be revoked at any time by an administrator. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 01:34, 19 November 2016 (UTC)

New Page Review - newsletter
- Breaking the back of the backlog
If each reviewer does only 10 reviews a day over five days, the backlog will be down to zero and the daily input can then be processed by each reviewer doing only 2 or 3 reviews a day - that's about 5 minutes work!
Let's get that over and done with in time to relax for the holidays.
- Second set of eyes
Not only are New Page Reviewers the guardians of quality of new articles, they are also in a position to ensure that pages are being correctly tagged for deletion and maintenance and that new authors are not being bitten. This is an important feature of your work. Read about it at the new Monitoring the system section in the tutorial.

Hello GeoffreyT2000,
I'm submitted a re-review for my draft of The Little Acre.
Your previous review stated that there was not enough coverage and I wanted to know if I added enough references this time around?
If not how many more should I look for?
Thank you for your time.
- @IceKoobs: OK, I have now accepted the draft and moved it to The Little Acre. That article still has bare URLs that need to be fixed, but drafts can be accepted before bare URLs are fixed. GeoffreyT2000 (talk, contribs) 04:56, 13 December 2016 (UTC)
File mover granted
Hello GeoffreyT2000. Your account has been granted the "filemover" user right, either following a request for it or due to a clear need for the ability to move files. Please take a moment to review Wikipedia:File mover for more information on this user right and under what circumstances it is okay to move files. When you move a file please remember to update any links to the new name as well! If you do not want the file mover right anymore, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Thank you, and happy editing!

- File redirects should generally be retained unless they were created in error. Hence File:Rajakumaari 1949.jpg was alright to suppress, while should have been retained.— Godsy (TALKCONT) 16:13, 23 December 2016 (UTC)
