A kitten for you!

- Thank you so much. Glad I can help. :) Jonas Vinther (speak to me!) 13:45, 7 October 2014 (UTC)
Your energy is fascinating. I have to speed up. :) Thank you very much for your review. Have a nice month! Borsoka (talk) 17:15, 7 October 2014 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of Walther von Brauchitsch
The article Walther von Brauchitsch you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Walther von Brauchitsch for comments about the article. Well done! If the article has not already been on the main page as an "In the news" or "Did you know" item, you can nominate it to appear in Did you know.

Battle of Borgerhout
Hello, Jonas. Thank you for your extremely fast review. I've noticed you removed the Dairy Cow image from the background section. Wasn't it worthy to be there? I think it's a very good metaphor of the Dutch revolt and the role played by the major characters involved. Anyway, thanks for your job ;) Weymar Horren (talk) 06:01, 9 October 2014 (UTC)
- Hi Weymar Horren. The image I removed was a non-existing image, a red link. Perhaps you misspelled the image name? Jonas Vinther (speak to me!) 13:07, 9 October 2014 (UTC)
- Strange. In my sandbox the image seems to work. If you think it's relevant, I'll try to restore it. Weymar Horren (talk) 19:06, 9 October 2014 (UTC)

Deanna Merryman review update
Thanks very much for doing the review, Jonas Vinther, as I've put a lot of effort into researching this one so I really appreciate it.
I've responded at Talk:Deanna Merryman/GA1. You made some wise suggestions that were quite helpful.
I've added two images to the article of the subject on the covers of those magazines you mentioned, and also added page numbers to a couple of the book cites.
Hopefully the article is now satisfactory,

Thank you again. Your work is incredible. Have a nice year! Borsoka (talk) 06:03, 11 October 2014 (UTC)
- Thank you so much. You have a nice year, too. :) Jonas Vinther (speak to me!) 11:51, 11 October 2014 (UTC)
GA Cup -Round 1 Newsletter
As we move into the middle of Round 1, we wanted to report some of the lessons we've learned thus far, as well as announce a major rule change going into Round 2, which begins November 1. Remember, sign-ups for this year's Cup ends on September 15. Thus far, we're very happy with the results of the competition. One of our major goals, reducing the long backlog at GAN, is well on the way to being accomplished, mostly due to the enthusiastic efforts of Jonas Vinther, who has earned over 250 points. Over 80 reviews have been made thus far. Thank you all for your efforts and for your part in making the GA Cup a success. However, this is the inaugural year of the GA Cup, so there have been some unforeseen circumstances that have come up. One has been a glaring inadequacy with the rules, which the judges feel makes the competition unfair. As a result, there will be a major change in the rules, starting at the beginning of Round 2:
What this means is that you must provide some feedback to the article's nominator, and must wait for him or her to respond before passing the article. If the nominator has not responded in the standard 7 days, you can fail the article. We're instituting this rule change to prevent the possibility of competitors passing articles for the sake of passing articles (or failing them) and to gain more points. We believe that the change will make it more fair to all competitors in the GA Cup. Also, in case you haven't noticed, we increased the "guarantee" for Round 2 to 25 participants. The exact number will be decided in the near future. We thank your for your participation, and for your flexibility and understanding as we learn what works and what doesn't work in this competition. Cheers from NickGibson3900, Dom497, TheQ Editor and Figureskatingfan. To subscribe or unsubscribe to future GA Cup newsletter, 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.

GA Cup Warning
This is your first warning. 3 of your reviews have been determined "incomplete". In the event that further reviews are found to be incomplete/articles still have issues that prevent them from meeting the GA standard, you will be disqualified.--Dom497 (talk) 23:52, 12 October 2014 (UTC)
GA Cup Newsletter Correction
Hi everyone,
It was brought to the attention of the judges that there was an error in the newsletter sent out earlier today.
Sign-ups for the GA Cup will close on October 15, 2014, not September 15, 2014 (as mentioned in the newsletter).
Sorry for any confusion.
Cheers from NickGibson3900, Dom497, TheQ Editor and Figureskatingfan.

Well...
Well obviously this is not what I had in mind, but if you believe Wiki is such a horrible project, I guess you are making the right choice. Just remember that I did none of this.--Dom497 (talk) 00:17, 13 October 2014 (UTC)
- I'll keep that in mind. Jonas Vinther (speak to me!) 00:57, 13 October 2014 (UTC)
One question
I forgot to ask you this question yesterday. By any chance do you have any connection with 84.127.80.114? Please answer this question honestly.--Dom497 (talk) 14:05, 13 October 2014 (UTC)
- No I do not. My IP address is 83.93.219.86. Also, I'm against IP-editing on Wikipedia. Jonas Vinther (speak to me!) 14:10, 13 October 2014 (UTC)
- Thank-you.--Dom497 (talk) 14:26, 13 October 2014 (UTC)

Broadway Hollywood Building
Thank you for your review of Broadway Hollywood Building. Please complete the promotion by listing the article at WP:GA when you get a chance.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 14:46, 15 October 2014 (UTC)
- I don't understand? How can you list it at WP:GA? Jonas Vinther (speak to me!) 14:50, 15 October 2014 (UTC)
- The promotion is not really effective unless the article ends up being listed at WP:GA. In this case, you need to add it to the proper section at Wikipedia:Good articles/Art and architecture. I can't believe you have done 41 reviews without learning this. Please go back and correct all of your other promotions. You need to list the articles at WP:GA.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 15:42, 15 October 2014 (UTC)
- Hmm... Sounds like a job for the GA-nominator. Listing 41 reviews would kill me. Jonas Vinther (speak to me!) 20:38, 15 October 2014 (UTC)
- Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Good_article_nominations/Instructions#Passing. It is the reviewer's responsibility to list his reviews at WP:GA. If you want we can discuss this further at WT:GAN.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 21:37, 15 October 2014 (UTC)
- OK, I will do so tomorrow. Jonas Vinther (speak to me!) 23:08, 15 October 2014 (UTC)

- I am fairly certain that you have been pinged, but I'll tell you directly that you are under discussion at Wikipedia_talk:Good_article_nominations#User:Jonas_Vinther_is_insisting_it_is_not_his_responsibility_to_list_nominations_that_he_passes_at_WP:GA--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 13:05, 17 October 2014 (UTC)

User page
Can you tell me why you include articles that you review in your user page Icon list. I have never heard of anyone doing that. It seems quite hokey to me.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 13:06, 17 October 2014 (UTC)
- Does it bother you, Tony? Jonas Vinther (speak to me!) 13:32, 17 October 2014 (UTC)
- It just doesn't make sense to me. AFAIK, most people only include the work that they have done in such Icon lists. Including the articles you have reviewed and commented on makes little sense to me. I can't tell what kind of work you do on WP with a list like yours.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 15:26, 17 October 2014 (UTC)
- That's too bad man. Jonas Vinther (speak to me!) 15:35, 17 October 2014 (UTC)
