I would like to apologize, I often forget to use the edit summaries. Almost all of my minor edits are to remove dead links or fix small things. I generally try to go back in and put in an edit summary if i forget but if you ever need any help clarifying please feel free to post a question.

Anyone can award them, see Wikipedia:BARNSTARS. -- Demiurge1000 ( talk) 00:08, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
See if you can use "name" with references so that you only need to give the full reference once, and then after that refer to it just by the name. This means that the reference will only appear once in the "References" section, but each statement cited to it will still have the footnote number related to it.
A random example to see how it works: Keep Calm and Carry On - the Guardian article is cited three times in the article, and the New York Times magazine article is cited twice, but each of them is only listed once in the References section.
Let me know if you need any help with it. -- Demiurge1000 ( talk) 00:23, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

... or in fact, two challenges.
You have done a great job on The Academy at Lincoln so far, but there are two really big issues that put it at risk of being deleted, or at least "redirected" so that the page just takes the reader to the page about your school district.
First, you need to make a strong statement in the lead of the article about why the school is unique, special and/or notable. You must make a clear claim as to why the school might meet the general notability guideline.
Second, and this is very much related to the first item, you need to find sources about the school that are independent of the school. So that means not the school website, not a teacher's website, and not the school district website. Check the link I posted on the talk page for the article, scroll through the pages, and see what's the best you can find. Or, ask a teacher or school librarian for help. Any printed newspaper - or electronic copy of one, or webpage from one - is a big step in the right direction. -- Demiurge1000 ( talk) 23:43, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
I looked around The Early College at Guilford and it led me to this reference.
So, that URL would be a good reference to support your sentence in the lead about The Early College at Guilford (although it lists it at 18th, not 17th.)
See if you can use the "cite web" ref format to include it. Here's an example of how it's used:
<ref>{{cite web|title=New members honored in National Maritime Hall of Fame|work=Marine Log Magazine|url=http://www.marinelog.com/DOCS/NEWSMMIX/2009feb00061.html|date=February 6, 2009|accessdate=February 18, 2010}}</ref>
(Just replace each item after the = with the information for the Guilford reference - if any item isn't available, just miss that item out.)
This would be the first third party (independent) reference for the article. -- Demiurge1000 ( talk) 22:33, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
Although you've done well to get an image of the school in place, there is a possibility that the fair use rationale you've given won't be accepted.
So if you have a digital camera, or know someone that does, try to take a photo of your own and upload it to Wikimedia Commons with a free license. -- Demiurge1000 ( talk) 07:05, 23 February 2011 (UTC)
Wikipedia:Categorization is a bit long, but this bit is relevant: "Pages are not placed directly into every possible category, only into the most specific one in any branch. This means that if a page belongs to a subcategory of C (or a subcategory of a subcategory of C, and so on) then it is not normally placed directly into C. For exceptions to this rule, see Eponymous categories and Non-diffusing subcategories below."
I'm not even going to try and summarize Eponymous and Non-diffusing, but I think you may be putting your article into too many categories. So if it's in "Schools in North Carolina" then it doesn't need to be in "Schools in the United States". Or something like that. -- Demiurge1000 ( talk) 02:29, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

In The Academy at Lincoln, I think it would be better if all of the current bullet point lists were re-written as prose. I think each of these can be summarised in one or two (or maybe three) sentences. Give it a try. -- Demiurge1000 ( talk) 23:33, 11 March 2011 (UTC)

To complete the set, you could do a "Procrastinator neutral" userbox which uses "themself" instead of "himself". Interestingly, there are some editors (including a few administrators) who have never disclosed what gender they are. -- Demiurge1000 ( talk) 15:36, 17 March 2011 (UTC)
Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged revisions, underwent a two-month trial which ended on 15 August 2010. Its continued use is still being discussed by the community, you are free to participate in such discussions. Many articles still have pending changes protection applied, however, and the ability to review pending changes continues to be of use.
Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under level 1 pending changes and edits made by non-reviewers to level 2 pending changes protected articles (usually high traffic articles). Pending changes was applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.
For the guideline on reviewing, see Wikipedia:Reviewing. Being granted reviewer rights doesn't grant you status nor change how you can edit articles even with pending changes. The general help page on pending changes can be found here, and the general policy for the trial can be found here.
If you do not want this user right, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 02:38, 20 March 2011 (UTC)

Dear Adwii, You are definitely not a Sahaja Yogi or a devotee of Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi.You have added a lot of unnecessary and untrue things about her in her page.The Ragneesh Osho thing that you have added is not true at all and that stuff about the national flag is absolute unnecessary.This may confuse the new seekers and they might change their mind about Sahaja Yoga and Self Realization.You see that whenever someone reads about Sahaja Yoga on the Internet they search for it for detailed explanation on Wikipedia and this might be misleading to them.You have also not added many important facts like incurable diseases cured by her etc.Me and my friends have decided to reedit this page in such a way so that it will be more acceptable and understandable for the new seekers and it will also provide a more detailed information about her.I hope for your cooperation.Thanking you in anticipation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SameerTelkar ( talk • contribs) 17:14, 17 April 2011 (UTC)

Well for the Deadliest catch userbox it could be modeled like this

but somewhat different wording and with a picture. Some good ones I've found include the photo on Deadliest Catch and the picture currently on my userpage.

Hi Adwiii. I was chatting to User:Demiurge1000 about some work I'd been doing at my adoption school and was wondering if you would be interested in running through it? It gives an overview of what I feel are the most important Wikipedia areas, you can do it in your own time, and it might help you with your future on Wikipedia. Totally up to you, of course. Oh yes, and I've had an idea for a series of userboxes - might run it by you and see what you think ;) WormTT · ( talk) 10:23, 19 April 2011 (UTC)

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on BTD (disambiguation) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, a rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}
) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the
the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact
one of these administrators to request that the administrator
userfy the page or email a copy to you.

Guild of Copy Editors
May 2012 backlog elimination drive mid-drive newsletter
Participation: Out of 49 people signed up for this drive so far, 26 have copy-edited at least one article. It's a smaller group than last drive, but we're making good progress. If you've signed up but haven't yet copy-edited any articles, please consider doing so. Every bit helps! If you haven't signed up yet, it's not too late. Join us! Progress report: We're on track to meet our targets for the drive, largely due to the efforts of Lfstevens and the others on the leaderboard. Thanks to all. We have reduced our target group of articles—January, February, and March 2011—by over half, and it looks like we will achieve that goal.

Invitation from the
Guild of Copy Editors
The Guild of Copy Editors invites you to participate in their July 2012 Backlog elimination drive, a month-long effort to reduce the size of the copy edit backlog. The drive begins on July 1 at 00:00 (UTC) and ends on July 31 at 23:59 (UTC). Our goals are to eliminate the articles tagged in April, May and June 2011 from the queue and to complete all requests placed before the end of June. Barnstars will be awarded to anyone who copy edits more than 4,000 words, and special awards will be given to the top 6 in the following categories: "Number of articles", "Number of words", "Number of articles of over 5,000 words", "Number of articles tagged in April–June 2011", and "Longest article". We hope to see you there! – Your drive coordinators: Dank, Diannaa and Stfg. To discontinue receiving GOCE newsletters, please remove your name from our mailing list.

IMPORTANT CHANGES: We have modified the selection of articles SuggestBot suggests and altered the design to incorporate more information about the articles, as described in this explanation.
Note: All columns in this table are sortable, allowing you to rearrange the table so the articles most interesting to you are shown at the top. All images have mouse-over popups with more information.
We have changed the number of suggested articles and which categories they are selected from. The number of stubs has been greatly reduced, the number of articles needing sources doubled, and two new categories added (orphans and unencyclopaedic articles). We have also modified the layout of the suggestions and added sortable columns with various types of information about each article. The first two columns are:
The method we use to predict article quality also allows us to assess whether an article might need specific types of work in order to improve its quality. The work needed might not correspond to cleanup tags added to the article, since our method is not based on those. We have added five columns reflecting this work assessment, where a red X indicates improvement is needed. Placing your cursor over an X should give you a pop-up with a short description of the work needed. The five columns seek to answer the following five questions:

We have also modified the layout of the suggestions and added sortable columns with various types of information about each article. The first two columns are:
The method we use to predict article quality also allows us to assess whether an article might need specific types of work in order to improve its quality. The work needed might not correspond to cleanup tags added to the article, since our method is not based on those. We have added five columns reflecting this work assessment, where a red X indicates improvement is needed. Placing your cursor over an X should give you a pop-up with a short description of the work needed. The five columns seek to answer the following five questions:

Anyone can award them, see Wikipedia:BARNSTARS. -- Demiurge1000 ( talk) 00:08, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
See if you can use "name" with references so that you only need to give the full reference once, and then after that refer to it just by the name. This means that the reference will only appear once in the "References" section, but each statement cited to it will still have the footnote number related to it.
A random example to see how it works: Keep Calm and Carry On - the Guardian article is cited three times in the article, and the New York Times magazine article is cited twice, but each of them is only listed once in the References section.
Let me know if you need any help with it. -- Demiurge1000 ( talk) 00:23, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

... or in fact, two challenges.
You have done a great job on The Academy at Lincoln so far, but there are two really big issues that put it at risk of being deleted, or at least "redirected" so that the page just takes the reader to the page about your school district.
First, you need to make a strong statement in the lead of the article about why the school is unique, special and/or notable. You must make a clear claim as to why the school might meet the general notability guideline.
Second, and this is very much related to the first item, you need to find sources about the school that are independent of the school. So that means not the school website, not a teacher's website, and not the school district website. Check the link I posted on the talk page for the article, scroll through the pages, and see what's the best you can find. Or, ask a teacher or school librarian for help. Any printed newspaper - or electronic copy of one, or webpage from one - is a big step in the right direction. -- Demiurge1000 ( talk) 23:43, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
I looked around The Early College at Guilford and it led me to this reference.
So, that URL would be a good reference to support your sentence in the lead about The Early College at Guilford (although it lists it at 18th, not 17th.)
See if you can use the "cite web" ref format to include it. Here's an example of how it's used:
<ref>{{cite web|title=New members honored in National Maritime Hall of Fame|work=Marine Log Magazine|url=http://www.marinelog.com/DOCS/NEWSMMIX/2009feb00061.html|date=February 6, 2009|accessdate=February 18, 2010}}</ref>
(Just replace each item after the = with the information for the Guilford reference - if any item isn't available, just miss that item out.)
This would be the first third party (independent) reference for the article. -- Demiurge1000 ( talk) 22:33, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
Although you've done well to get an image of the school in place, there is a possibility that the fair use rationale you've given won't be accepted.
So if you have a digital camera, or know someone that does, try to take a photo of your own and upload it to Wikimedia Commons with a free license. -- Demiurge1000 ( talk) 07:05, 23 February 2011 (UTC)
Wikipedia:Categorization is a bit long, but this bit is relevant: "Pages are not placed directly into every possible category, only into the most specific one in any branch. This means that if a page belongs to a subcategory of C (or a subcategory of a subcategory of C, and so on) then it is not normally placed directly into C. For exceptions to this rule, see Eponymous categories and Non-diffusing subcategories below."
I'm not even going to try and summarize Eponymous and Non-diffusing, but I think you may be putting your article into too many categories. So if it's in "Schools in North Carolina" then it doesn't need to be in "Schools in the United States". Or something like that. -- Demiurge1000 ( talk) 02:29, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

To complete the set, you could do a "Procrastinator neutral" userbox which uses "themself" instead of "himself". Interestingly, there are some editors (including a few administrators) who have never disclosed what gender they are. -- Demiurge1000 ( talk) 15:36, 17 March 2011 (UTC)
Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged revisions, underwent a two-month trial which ended on 15 August 2010. Its continued use is still being discussed by the community, you are free to participate in such discussions. Many articles still have pending changes protection applied, however, and the ability to review pending changes continues to be of use.
Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under level 1 pending changes and edits made by non-reviewers to level 2 pending changes protected articles (usually high traffic articles). Pending changes was applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.
For the guideline on reviewing, see Wikipedia:Reviewing. Being granted reviewer rights doesn't grant you status nor change how you can edit articles even with pending changes. The general help page on pending changes can be found here, and the general policy for the trial can be found here.
If you do not want this user right, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 02:38, 20 March 2011 (UTC)

Dear Adwii, You are definitely not a Sahaja Yogi or a devotee of Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi.You have added a lot of unnecessary and untrue things about her in her page.The Ragneesh Osho thing that you have added is not true at all and that stuff about the national flag is absolute unnecessary.This may confuse the new seekers and they might change their mind about Sahaja Yoga and Self Realization.You see that whenever someone reads about Sahaja Yoga on the Internet they search for it for detailed explanation on Wikipedia and this might be misleading to them.You have also not added many important facts like incurable diseases cured by her etc.Me and my friends have decided to reedit this page in such a way so that it will be more acceptable and understandable for the new seekers and it will also provide a more detailed information about her.I hope for your cooperation.Thanking you in anticipation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SameerTelkar ( talk • contribs) 17:14, 17 April 2011 (UTC)

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on BTD (disambiguation) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, a rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}
) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the
the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact
one of these administrators to request that the administrator
userfy the page or email a copy to you.

May 2012 backlog elimination drive mid-drive newsletter
Participation: Out of 49 people signed up for this drive so far, 26 have copy-edited at least one article. It's a smaller group than last drive, but we're making good progress. If you've signed up but haven't yet copy-edited any articles, please consider doing so. Every bit helps! If you haven't signed up yet, it's not too late. Join us! Progress report: We're on track to meet our targets for the drive, largely due to the efforts of Lfstevens and the others on the leaderboard. Thanks to all. We have reduced our target group of articles—January, February, and March 2011—by over half, and it looks like we will achieve that goal. Good progress is being made on the overall backlog as well, with over 500 articles copy-edited during the drive so far. The total backlog currently sits at around 3200 articles. Hall of Fame: GOCE coordinator Diannaa was awarded a spot in the GOCE Hall of Fame this month! She has copy-edited over 1567 articles during these drives, and surpassed the 1,000,000-word mark on May 5. On to the second million! – Your drive coordinators: Dank, Diannaa and Stfg

Invitation from the
Guild of Copy Editors
The Guild of Copy Editors invites you to participate in their July 2012 Backlog elimination drive, a month-long effort to reduce the size of the copy edit backlog. The drive begins on July 1 at 00:00 (UTC) and ends on July 31 at 23:59 (UTC). Our goals are to eliminate the articles tagged in April, May and June 2011 from the queue and to complete all requests placed before the end of June. Barnstars will be awarded to anyone who copy edits more than 4,000 words, and special awards will be given to the top 6 in the following categories: "Number of articles", "Number of words", "Number of articles of over 5,000 words", "Number of articles tagged in April–June 2011", and "Longest article". We hope to see you there! – Your drive coordinators: Dank, Diannaa and Stfg. To discontinue receiving GOCE newsletters, please remove your name from our mailing list.

IMPORTANT CHANGES: We have modified the selection of articles SuggestBot suggests and altered the design to incorporate more information about the articles, as described in this explanation.
Note: All columns in this table are sortable, allowing you to rearrange the table so the articles most interesting to you are shown at the top. All images have mouse-over popups with more information.
We have changed the number of suggested articles and which categories they are selected from. The number of stubs has been greatly reduced, the number of articles needing sources doubled, and two new categories added (orphans and unencyclopaedic articles). We have also modified the layout of the suggestions and added sortable columns with various types of information about each article. The first two columns are:
The method we use to predict article quality also allows us to assess whether an article might need specific types of work in order to improve its quality. The work needed might not correspond to cleanup tags added to the article, since our method is not based on those. We have added five columns reflecting this work assessment, where a red X indicates improvement is needed. Placing your cursor over an X should give you a pop-up with a short description of the work needed. The five columns seek to answer the following five questions:

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. We appreciate that you have signed up to receive suggestions regularly, your contributions make Wikipedia better — thanks for helping!

IMPORTANT CHANGES: We have modified the selection of articles SuggestBot suggests and altered the design to incorporate more information about the articles, as described in this explanation.
Note: All columns in this table are sortable, allowing you to rearrange the table so the articles most interesting to you are shown at the top. All images have mouse-over popups with more information.

The number of stubs has been greatly reduced, the number of articles needing sources doubled, and two new categories added (orphans and unencyclopaedic articles). We have also modified the layout of the suggestions and added sortable columns with various types of information about each article. The first two columns are:
The method we use to predict article quality also allows us to assess whether an article might need specific types of work in order to improve its quality. The work needed might not correspond to cleanup tags added to the article, since our method is not based on those.
