You are continuing to uncharitably post slurs on other editors, failing to assume good faith. Instead of respectfully acknowledging a difference of opinion, you trivialize those who disagree with you by accusing them of being carried away, being overly emotional, and having ulterior motives like advocacy or other POV pushing. Some have said the sources justify notability, and instead of respecting that you denigrate it as motivated by admiration or belief in the "goodness" of the subject. Have I accused you of hating the subject? Of having excess passion? I only ask you to explain your choices. Instead of reasoned arguments, you label my ideas as WP:POINTy, coming from an administrator, that implies a threat to ban or block me, for disruptive editing. For the crime of a content disagreement! It's bullying.
I've asked for an explanation for why you feel compelled to include sources that mention the blog journalism medium, yet the sources that mention print, newspaper, and radio don't seem to interest you. It's a valid question. Instead of answering, you shift back to this bullying and invalidating the contributions of other editors.
You flaunt this air of superiority when you are the one who has repeatedly posted blatantly erroneous howlers, misrepresenting the policies of WP:NOR and WP:Notability, and repeatedly making assertions of fact while refusing to cite evidence. No acknowledgement of your errors. Just deflection and put downs. It's fine to be in error, I make mistakes all the time. But such blunders, and inability to admit error, don't look so good alongside this superior, condescending attitude.
Please stop casting aspersions. Please stop insulting and trivializing other editors. If you don't wish to answer a question, simply don't reply. If you do reply, comment on content, not on the contributor. It can't possibly be that difficult for you to find something to do other than taunting and sneering at others who happen to disagree with you. Administrators never tire of complaining of all the tedious chores they have heaped upon them, yet you seem to have time for nothing better. Enough, please. I'm aware of how absurd it is to have to deliver a lecture like this to an admin, but that is for you to answer to. How is it that an administrator doesn't know any better? --Dennis Bratland (talk) 20:45, 26 November 2019 (UTC)

You have gone on treating this as a joke. Apparently you're certain that you'll get a way with it. I hope, at last, you've gotten this childish behavior out of your system, and will finally drop the stick. If you can quit while you're ahead, you will get away with it. I have no idea what this chat suggestion refers to, but rest assured, nobody in their right mind would want to chat with you. I very much hope this is goodbye. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 02:57, 27 November 2019 (UTC)

For your spirited defense, and knowledge of, Wikipedia's Notability policies, particularly at the Erica C. Barnett deletion discussion.

Thank you today for Emanuel Moravec, "about the collaborationist Minister of Education of the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia, the dismembered Czechoslovak state created and occupied by Germany during World War II. Prior to the occupation of the Czech lands, Moravec was widely known as a leading proponent of democracy, and as a celebrated author and journalist."! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:48, 9 December 2019 (UTC)
Sure thing. Safe travels.

This year's Reviewer of the Year is Rosguill. Having gotten the reviewer PERM in August 2018, they have been a regular reviewer of articles and redirects, been an active participant in the NPP community, and has been the driving force for the emerging NPP Source Guide that will help reviewers better evaluate sourcing and notability in many countries for which it has historically been difficult.
Special commendation again goes to Onel5969 who ends the year as one of our most prolific reviewers for the second consecutive year. Thanks also to Boleyn and JTtheOG who have been in the top 5 for the last two years as well.
Several newer editors have done a lot of work with CAPTAIN MEDUSA and DannyS712 (who has also written bots which have patrolled thousands of redirects) being new reviewers since this time last year.
Thanks to them and to everyone reading this who has participated in New Page Patrol this year.
(The top 100 reviewers of the year can be found here)
A recent Request for Comment on creating a new redirect autopatrol pseduo-permission was closed early. New Page Reviewers are now able to nominate editors who have an established track record creating uncontroversial redirects. At the individual discretion of any administrator or after 24 hours and a consensus of at least 3 New Page Reviewers an editor may be added to a list of users whose redirects will be patrolled automatically by DannyS712 bot III.
Set to launch early in the new year is our first New Page Patrol Source Guide discussion. These discussions are designed to solicit input on sources in places and topic areas that might otherwise be harder for reviewers to evaluate. The hope is that this will allow us to improve the accuracy of our patrols for articles using these sources (and/or give us places to perform a WP:BEFORE prior to nominating for deletion). Please watch the New Page Patrol talk page for more information.
While New Page Reviewers are an experienced set of editors, we all benefit from an occasional review. This month consider refreshing yourself on Wikipedia:Notability (geographic features). Also consider how we can take the time for quality in this area. For instance, sources to verify human settlements, which are presumed notable, can often be found in seconds. This lets us avoid the (ugly) 'Needs more refs' tag.

On 3 January 2020, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article R. W. Buzzard, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that although judge R. W. Buzzard has been criticized for drinking and carrying a loaded gun on the job, he has also personally intervened in fistfights and pursued fleeing suspects? You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, R. W. Buzzard), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Hello Chetsford, I created a page named Draft:B. K. Misra, could you please review it? Thanks a lot! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vm1207 (talk • contribs) 15:53, 12 January 2020 (UTC)
