The Anti-Vandalism Barnstar | |
You have been awarded this barnstar for your exceptional work in reverting large-scale vandalism, especially on the Nigahiga page. Congrats! Take this eraser-like, star... thingy with pride! LOL -- The Wing Dude, Musical Extraordinaire ( talk) 03:06, 18 February 2011 (UTC) |
Hello, do you know who should I see or complain to for my Twinkle restoration?-- NovaSkola ( talk) 11:55, 19 February 2011 (UTC)
Ew the new MW is messed up. Urgh. Anyway, I was looking over the Annabeth page, and the Film section seems to befilled with lots of OR. Any idea where there may be sources for those statements? Bramble claw x 15:59, 19 February 2011 (UTC)

If you don't mind, could you help me on the GA for the The Battle of the Labyrinth? Thanks, Perseus 8235 15:24, 20 February 2011 (UTC)
Could you userify that article about the Hastings museum? I think it has possibilities as a full article (as I noted here) and would be more than willing to do the work it needs to bring it up to par (which when I read it appeared to just be adding references...it didn't look very spam-like). If you could, please userify it to User:Ks0stm/Sandbox 2 (just remove everything that's already there except the header). Thanks in advance, Ks0stm If you reply here, please leave me a {{ Talkback}} message on my talk page. 16:11, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
Hello again; its nice to see you more active than during the winter. I have a question, what do you think of the 2011 Gatorade Duels article? It seems like there may be something missing, but I'm not sure. I would like to get the article to GA status. Thanks. Nascar 1996 16:26, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
I think there should be consensus found before doing something like this. 3 days is an arbitrary time. Why not 2 days? 4 days? I think the best course of action is to encourage others not to create pages too far in advance (due to, as you said, crystal ball concerns as well as notability issues). I find this as unnecessary at the present time. Airplaneman ✈ 15:20, 24 February 2011 (UTC)
Hi, the userfied version lacks the article history, which messes up attribution. DuncanHill ( talk) 16:55, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
This message is going out to all of the Online Ambassadors who are, or will be, serving as mentors this term.
Hi there! This is just a friendly reminder to check in on what your mentees are doing. If they've started making edits, take a look and help them out or do some example fixes for them, if they need it. And if they are doing good, let them know it!
If you aren't mentoring anyone yet, it looks like you will be soon; at least one large class is asking us to assign mentors for them, and students in a number of others haven't yet gotten to asking ambassadors to be their mentors, but may soon. -- Sage Ross - Online Facilitator, Wikimedia Foundation ( talk) 20:05, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
Hello again! I just posted a new article at my sub-page (/Arkeia Software). When you have a chance, can you please look it over and let me know if it's ready for the main page or if there are any changes you think I should make to it? Thank you! Michael Leeman ( talk) 23:34, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
WikiProject Good Articles will be running a GAN backlog elimination drive for the entire month of March. The goal of this drive is to bring the number of outstanding Good Article nominations down to below 50. This will help editors in restoring confidence to the GAN process as well as actively improving, polishing, and rewarding good content. If you are interested in participating in the drive, please place your name here. Awards will be given out to those who review certain numbers of GANs as well as to those who review the most. On behalf of my co-coordinator Wizardman, we hope we can see you in March. MuZemike delivered by MuZebot 00:39, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
I notice that you have yesterday semi-protected Saif al-Islam Muammar Al-Gaddafi. Any chance you could do the same for Libya, which is seeing (not surprisingly) an awful lot of disruptive edits during the current events. The national flag has been on and off that page more times than I've had hot dinners! Skinsmoke ( talk) 05:29, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
I'm helping out my husband Polo Piatti (Magiko) with his Wikipedia entry (Polo Piatti article). He contacted DESiegel with your help, but after an initial contact hasn't heard from him again. My question is, can I post the draft he prepared under DESiegel's supervision? You can have a look at it by going to: User:Magiko/drafts/Polo Piatti. Also, will the draft be accepted if I post it being Polo Piatti's wife? Thanks a million for your help. Zaza888 ( talk) 16:51, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
Hey Airplaneman. Does this qualify for speedy deletion? I would U1 it, but since I didn't create it, I'm not sure I can. (a case of posting in the wrong place, and myspacing, for that matter, I think) Bramble claw x 23:12, 23 February 2011 (UTC)
Please help! The February 2011 Wikification Backlog Elimination Drive is almost complete. Please help, as the backlog is still very large. Still exceeding 20,000 articles! The goal is 18,000 or less. Lets see if we can do it! We're going to need all the firepower we can get, so please remind your friends to help as well.Thank you for all your help thus far!

Please reconsider use of Pending Changes on Justin Beaver, given the ongoing RfC on use of PC, and the notice regarding its use, and...well, the fact that there is no consensus for using it, beyond a trial period of 2 months which was from June 2010.

Article of the month –
2010 Price Chopper 400, a recent
GA
The 2010 Price Chopper 400 was a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series stock car race that was held on October 3, 2010 at Kansas Speedway in Kansas City, Kansas. The 300 lap race was the twenty-ninth in the 2010 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. The race was also the third event in the ten round Chase for the Sprint Cup competititon , which would concluded the 2010 season. Greg Biffle, of the Roush Fenway Racing team, won the race, with Jimmie Johnson finishing second and Kevin Harvick third. Pole position driver Kasey Kahne maintained his lead on the first lap to begin the race, as Jeff Gordon, who started in the third position on the grid, remained behind him. Twenty-three laps later Jeff Gordon became the leader of the race. After the final pit stops, Paul Menard became the leader of the race, but with less than fifty laps remaining, Biffle passed him. He maintained the first position to lead a total of sixty laps, and to win his second race of the season. There were five cautions and twenty lead changes among twelve different drivers throughout the course of the race. It was Greg Biffle's second win in the 2010 season, and the sixteenth of his career. The result moved Biffle up to eighth in the Drivers' Championship, eighty-five points behind Jimmie Johnson and sixteen ahead of Jeff Burton. Chevrolet maintained its lead in the Manufacturers' Championship, thirty-seven ahead of Toyota and seventy-seven ahead of Ford, with seven races remaining in the season. A total of 100,000 people attended the race, while 5.25 million watched it on television.

Hello Airplaneman. Your opinion would be appreciated at Talk:Moonrise (Warriors)#Characters section? Bramble claw x 15:16, 27 February 2011 (UTC)
Apologies for the short notice for the meetup. Stay tuned for more meetups and activities this spring, and join wikimedia-dc mailing list for more announcements and discussion. Cheers, User:Aude ( talk)

So begins round two of the WikiCup! We now have eight pools, each with eight random contestants. This round will continue until the end of April, when the top two of each pool, as well as the next 16 highest scorers of those remaining, will make it to round three. Congratulations to
The Bushranger (
submissions) (first, with 487 points) and
Hurricanehink (
submissions) (second, with 459), who stormed the first round.
Casliber (
submissions) finished third with 223. Twelve others finished with over 100 points- well done to all of you! The final standings in round one can be seen
here. A mere 8 points were required to reach round two; competition will no doubt be much more fierce this round, so be ready for a challenge! A special thanks goes, again, to
Jarry1250 (
submissions) for dealing with all bot work. This year's bot, as well as running smoothly, is doing some very helpful things that last year's did not. Also, thanks to
Stone (
submissions) for some helpful behind-the-scenes updating and number crunching.
Some news for those who are interested- March will see a GAN backlog elimination drive, which you are still free to join. Organised by WikiProject Good articles, the drive aims to minimise the GAN backlog and offers prizes to those who help out. Of course, you may well be able to claim WikiCup points for the articles you review as part of the drive. Also ongoing is the Great Backlog Drive, looking to work on clearing all of the backlogs on Wikipedia; again, incentives are offered, and the spirit of friendly competition is alive, while helping the encyclopedia is the ultimate aim. Though unrelated to the WikiCup, these may well be of interest to some of you.
Just a reminder of the rules; if you have done significant work on content this year and it is promoted in this round, you may claim for it. Also, anything that was promoted after the end of round one but before the beginning of round two may be claimed for in round two. Details of the rules can be found on this page. For those interested in statistics, a running total of claims can be seen here, and a very interesting table of that information (along with the highest scorers in each category) can be seen here. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages, or by email. Good luck!

Hi Airplaneman, I hope you are well and not too busy. Could you check if everyhthing is ok please with the Being Born Again Couture article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Domenico.y/Being_Born_Again_Couture_Fashion_Show?

Hi Airplaneman, I have taken out all the advertising of the Being Born Again Couture article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Domenico.y/Being_Born_Again_Couture_Fashion_Show. It still says from before I edited it "This article is written like an advertisement". I will take it out of the page now, because it is not written like an advertisement any more.

Hi Airplaneman. Are you still mentoring this user? He and this user both need to be made aware of WP:COI, WP:AUTOBIOGRAPHY and WP:COPYVIO. The article Polo Piatti has recently been created for the sixth time, with large chunks of blatant and promotional copyvio from Polo Piatti's website, which I have now removed. It was cut and pasted into article space from User:Magiko/drafts/Polo Piatti by Zaza888 and then "reviewed" by Magiko [1]. Best, Voceditenore ( talk) 16:35, 6 March 2011 (UTC)

2010 Price Chopper 400, a recent
GA
The 2010 Price Chopper 400 was a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series stock car race that was held on October 3, 2010 at Kansas Speedway in Kansas City, Kansas. The 300 lap race was the twenty-ninth in the 2010 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. The race was also the third event in the ten round Chase for the Sprint Cup competititon , which would concluded the 2010 season. Greg Biffle, of the Roush Fenway Racing team, won the race, with Jimmie Johnson finishing second and Kevin Harvick third. Pole position driver Kasey Kahne maintained his lead on the first lap to begin the race, as Jeff Gordon, who started in the third position on the grid, remained behind him. Twenty-three laps later Jeff Gordon became the leader of the race. After the final pit stops, Paul Menard became the leader of the race, but with less than fifty laps remaining, Biffle passed him. He maintained the first position to lead a total of sixty laps, and to win his second race of the season. There were five cautions and twenty lead changes among twelve different drivers throughout the course of the race. It was Greg Biffle's second win in the 2010 season, and the sixteenth of his career. The result moved Biffle up to eighth in the Drivers' Championship, eighty-five points behind Jimmie Johnson and sixteen ahead of Jeff Burton. Chevrolet maintained its lead in the Manufacturers' Championship, thirty-seven ahead of Toyota and seventy-seven ahead of Ford, with seven races remaining in the season. A total of 100,000 people attended the race, while 5.25 million watched it on television.

So begins round two of the WikiCup! We now have eight pools, each with eight random contestants. This round will continue until the end of April, when the top two of each pool, as well as the next 16 highest scorers of those remaining, will make it to round three. Congratulations to
The Bushranger (
submissions) (first, with 487 points) and
Hurricanehink (
submissions) (second, with 459), who stormed the first round.
Casliber (
submissions) finished third with 223. Twelve others finished with over 100 points- well done to all of you! The final standings in round one can be seen
here. A mere 8 points were required to reach round two; competition will no doubt be much more fierce this round, so be ready for a challenge! A special thanks goes, again, to

Some news for those who are interested- March will see a GAN backlog elimination drive, which you are still free to join. Organised by WikiProject Good articles, the drive aims to minimise the GAN backlog and offers prizes to those who help out. Of course, you may well be able to claim WikiCup points for the articles you review as part of the drive.

Though unrelated to the WikiCup, these may well be of interest to some of you.
Just a reminder of the rules; if you have done significant work on content this year and it is promoted in this round, you may claim for it. Also, anything that was promoted after the end of round one but before the beginning of round two may be claimed for in round two. Details of the rules can be found on this page. For those interested in statistics, a running total of claims can be seen here, and a very interesting table of that information (along with the highest scorers in each category) can be seen here. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews.

Hi Airplaneman, I hope you are well and not too busy. Could you check if everyhthing is ok please with the Being Born Again Couture article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Domenico.y/Being_Born_Again_Couture_Fashion_Show? Can you tell me if there is further adjustments to make? This would be much appreciated. Also, I've edited a few wikipedia articles since then and I am getting the hang of it. Thank you again. 68.173.118.70 ( talk) 18:53, 4 March 2011 (UTC) Domenico.y
Hi Airplaneman, I have taken out all the advertising of the Being Born Again Couture article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Domenico.y/Being_Born_Again_Couture_Fashion_Show. It still says from before I edited it "This article is written like an advertisement". I will take it out of the page now, because it is not written like an advertisement any more. If you have any questions, please reply to this message. Thank you so much. 68.173.118.70 ( talk) 21:27, 10 March 2011 (UTC) Domenico.y
Hi Airplaneman. Could you review in my editor review? Thank you. - Porchcrop ( talk| contributions) 23:21, 4 March 2011 (UTC)
Hi Airplaneman. Are you still mentoring this user? He and this user both need to be made aware of WP:COI, WP:AUTOBIOGRAPHY and WP:COPYVIO. The article Polo Piatti has recently been created for the sixth time, with large chunks of blatant and promotional copyvio from Polo Piatti's website, which I have now removed. It was cut and pasted into article space from User:Magiko/drafts/Polo Piatti by Zaza888 and then "reviewed" by Magiko [1]. Best, Voceditenore ( talk) 16:35, 6 March 2011 (UTC)
I'm just asking for verification that Annabeth's cap was first mentioned in Lightning Thief? Bramble claw x 01:21, 9 March 2011 (UTC)
I <3 helpful tps's :). I think we should just get rid of the section altogether, as it hints of fancruft, and just mention her notable items in her character description. Airplaneman ✈ 17:11, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

Hiya! I'm requesting the userfication of the article Scarecrow and the Army of Thieves. Note that I am interested in the first version that was deleted; not the G12 version. Thanks, Stickee (talk) 11:22, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
