Backlog Elimination Drive!
![]()
We have reached the midway point in our backlog elimination drive, so here is an update. Participation report — The November drive has 53 participants at this point. We had 77 participants in the September drive. In July, 95 people signed up for the drive, and in May we had 36. If you are not participating, it is not too late to join! Progress report — The drive is quite successful so far, as we have already almost reached our target of a 10% reduction in the number of articles in the backlog. We are doing very well at keeping our Requests page clear, as those articles count double for word count for this drive. Please keep in mind the possibility of removing other tags when you are finished with an article. If the article no longer needs {{ cleanup}}, {{ wikify}}, or other similar maintenance tags, please remove them, as this will make the tasks of other WikiProjects easier to complete. Thanks very much for participating in the Drive, and see you at the finish line!

Hi there, I noticed your note at Category talk:CSI: NY episodes when I was going through empty categories to delete, as it's empty again. Considering what you wrote I'm wondering if it was improperly emptied. Since you are clearly more familiar with the situation than me, I'd appreciate it if you could look in to this and either repopulate the category, or tag it with a C1 speedy, depending on what you find. Thanks, VegaDark ( talk) 04:22, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

I noticed that you are listed as a participant in the outlines wikiproject.
Things went pretty slow from Oct 2009 to Sept 2010, but have been picking up speed since October 2010.

We can use all the help we can get on those. They especially need annotations and missing links. Please take a look and see what you can do.
One of the big gaps we've been working on is sports. So far, we have:
The outlines listed above include descriptive annotations to aid in topic selection. Please add as many missing annotations as you can.
You may have noticed some major sports are missing:
If you are feeling ambitious, please feel free to build one or more of these.
But don't feel restricted to sports. There are many other major subjects we haven't gotten to yet. See Portal:Contents/Outlines to look for gaps.
To assist in the maintenance (such as spotting and reversing vandalism) of the outlines and their support pages, please watchlist them. At a minimum, please watchlist the support pages:
The wikiproject page has been overhauled. It includes tasks, guidelines, and a participants list.
We need your help. Please look over the project and the various outlines to see where you can contribute the best. Thank you.

I had posted that as I had received a phone call from a fellow friend, who had worked with Fred in the California Youth Authority as his Teacher's Assistant for many years, and had studied the bible with Fred's wife, Betty. I am a dear and personal friend of Fred, and this is personal information from family. He collapsed about a week prior. We still do not know how he died. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kaivarri ( talk• contribs) 05:45, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
Please re-read the discussion that you started on Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons/Noticeboard: It stated "Someone being alive or dead is a fact that must be reliably sourced". When you explicitly add him back to the category of "Living persons" without a source, you are breaking this policy. Please do not revert my edit of removing that category again unless you can demonstrate via sources that he is alive (which you can't, because he isn't). -- Roger McCoy/រ៉ាចើ ( talk) 08:34, 5 January 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for your note about this page. I don't think this musical is notable (it failed a previous AFD). James Behr may be notable, I haven't looked close enough to say one way or the other. If you think he merits an entry, please feel free to move or merge the relevant material, but note that this is almost certainly an autobiography or a very close conflict of interest, complete with legal threats about attempts to remove it. I prefer not to facilitate these sorts of editors, so I've limited my action so far to cutting out junk from the entry. Cheers. Hairhorn ( talk) 23:29, 9 January 2011 (UTC)

Greetings from the
Guild of Copy Editors
January 2011 Backlog elimination drive! The drive is halfway over, so here are some mid-drive stats. ![]()
![]() So far, 43 people have signed up for this drive. Of these, 25 have participated. If you signed up for the drive but haven't participated yet, it's not too late! Try to copy edit at least a few articles. Remember, if you have rollover words from the last drive, you will lose them if you do not participate in this drive. If you haven't signed up for the drive yet, you can
sign up now.
We have eliminated two months from the backlog – January and February 2009. One of our goals is to eliminate as many months as possible from the 2009 backlog. Please help us reduce the size of this part of the backlog if you haven't already. Another goal is to reduce the entire backlog by 10%, or by 515 articles. Currently, we have eliminated 375 articles from the queue, so if each participant copy edits four more articles, we will reach that goal. Thank you for participating in the January 2011 drive. We anticipate it will be another big success! Your drive coordinators – S Masters ( talk), Diannaa ( Talk), The Utahraptor Talk to me, and Tea with toast ( Talk) |

Here's the latest addition to the religion section of Portal:Contents/Outlines. Wikipedia has rich coverage on this subject. Very interesting, especially from sociological and historical perspectives.
This is a call to all members of the Outline WikiProject and outline aficionados to help refine this outline. It needs annotations, missing topics added, and the entries in the general concepts section placed in more specific sections. It needs your editing skills. Let's turn it into a beehive!
Come join in on the fun and get acquainted with members of the Outline WikiProject.
The Transhumanist 04:58, 2 March 2011 (UTC)
P.S.: I had no idea this religion was so extensive or that it had so many followers. Hope to see you on the outline!
I have no objection to your recent edit to Coordinated Universal Time but I disagree with the edit summary: "Symbol: okay, how's initialism? a symbol is something like $, %, ^, or ®". If you look at the brochure which sets forth the International System of Units and which has been adopted as law in most countries (perhaps with minor variations and translation into the local language) you will find that certain letter combinations are defined to be symbols when used to designate units of measure (e.g. m, s, MJ, mg). In the case of UTC, this letter group seems to have evolved in a more informal manner amongst several scientific organizations, so I am not aware of an authoritative source that defines whether it is a symbol, abbreviation, or initialism.

Hi, well here I am taking you up on your offer! I seem to keep getting edit conflicts on the article. A little while ago I tried bundling all my edits into a really big single edit, taking about 30 minutes putting them together, but as I posted on the talk page, when I got another edit conflict while trying to submit my edit, I must have done something silly because I seem to have lost of all that editing. Is there any way of getting them back? I am assuming there isn't. I'm slightly regretting the wasted effort. I'll just have to be more careful in future. A Saku ( talk) 04:07, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

Hi. I'm not a great fan of over-hasty "proposed deletion" tags. I find they are somewhat discouraging. I created this article about 1 minute ago, and its notability is due to its architect. Give me 30 minutes and it'll be improved. Regards KJP1 ( talk) 08:09, 13 March 2011 (UTC)
Hi again. Apologies for the slightly tetchy tone of the above. I hope it now meets notability standards. It is, after all, a Lutyens house. Thanks and best regards. KJP1 ( talk) 08:54, 13 March 2011 (UTC)
Many thanks and I'm truly glad you're happy with it. It's no Featured Article, to be sure, but it does add to the coverage of buildings by Sir Edwin Lutyens (a very, very important architect [POV!]) and therefore adds a modest something to the sum of Wikipedia knowledge.

Well, I don't know for certain if I'm the oldest Wikipedian (I am over 50 yet not quite as old as, say, Ward Cunningham), but I have been on Wikipedia for a long time & the periods between my sightings of other old-timer Wikipedians have been consistently getting longer. (The one guy who could beat my record for certain is Slrubenstein, but he's not as active as I am.) Anyway, I might write an account of the "old days" of Wikipedia for the Signpost if I can figure out a way to write about it that entertains readers.

Hi! You took some time to reply to my request about Guru and the G11 thing. I am getting Ironholds guidance on the tone and appropriateness. I appreciate you taking the time to reply. This is what makes Wikipedia great! Executive Director - Guru Digital Arts College ( talk) 16:27, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

Guild of Copy Editors January 2011 Backlog elimination drive
![]() Greetings from the January 2011 Backlog elimination drive! We have reached the end of the month and the end of another successful drive; thanks to all who participated.
If you copy edited at least 4,000 words, you qualify for a barnstar. If you participated in the November 2010 Backlog elimination drive, you may have earned roll-over words (more details can be found here). These roll-over words count as credit towards earning barnstars, except for leaderboard awards. We will be delivering the barnstars within the next couple of weeks. Thank you for participating in this year's first Backlog elimination drive! We hope to see you in March. Your drive coordinators – S Masters ( talk), Diannaa ( talk), The Utahraptor ( talk), and Tea with toast ( talk) |

Just in case you didn't notice, I added some comments to the discussion at the Help forum. Hope they're useful.-- Bbb23 ( talk) 03:28, 2 March 2011 (UTC)
Here's the latest addition to the religion section of Portal:Contents/Outlines. Wikipedia has rich coverage on this subject. Very interesting, especially from sociological and historical perspectives.
This is a call to all members of the Outline WikiProject and outline aficionados to help refine this outline. It needs annotations, missing topics added, and the entries in the general concepts section placed in more specific sections. It needs your editing skills. Let's turn it into a beehive!
Come join in on the fun and get acquainted with members of the Outline WikiProject.

P.S.: I had no idea this religion was so extensive or that it had so many followers. Hope to see you on the outline!
I have no objection to your recent edit to Coordinated Universal Time but I disagree with the edit summary: "Symbol: okay, how's initialism? a symbol is something like $, %, ^, or ®". If you look at the brochure which sets forth the International System of Units and which has been adopted as law in most countries (perhaps with minor variations and translation into the local language) you will find that certain letter combinations are defined to be symbols when used to designate units of measure (e.g. m, s, MJ, mg). In the case of UTC, this letter group seems to have evolved in a more informal manner amongst several scientific organizations, so I am not aware of an authoritative source that defines whether it is a symbol, abbreviation, or initialism.

its my disscustion page ill put what i want on it! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zed127 ( talk • contribs) 16:21, 4 March 2011 (UTC)
Hi, well here I am taking you up on your offer! I seem to keep getting edit conflicts on the article. A little while ago I tried bundling all my edits into a really big single edit, taking about 30 minutes putting them together, but as I posted on the talk page, when I got another edit conflict while trying to submit my edit, I must have done something silly because I seem to have lost of all that editing. Is there any way of getting them back? I am assuming there isn't. I'm slightly regretting the wasted effort. I'll just have to be more careful in future. A Saku ( talk) 04:07, 12 March 2011 (UTC)
FYI - You last posted at User talk:Gawhie 21 February 2011 and the message didn't seem to get through. -- Uzma Gamal ( talk) 17:55, 12 March 2011 (UTC)
Hi. I'm not a great fan of over-hasty "proposed deletion" tags. I find they are somewhat discouraging. I created this article about 1 minute ago, and its notability is due to its architect. Give me 30 minutes and it'll be improved. Regards KJP1 ( talk) 08:09, 13 March 2011 (UTC)
Hi again. Apologies for the slightly tetchy tone of the above. I hope it now meets notability standards. It is, after all, a Lutyens house. Thanks and best regards. KJP1 ( talk) 08:54, 13 March 2011 (UTC)
Many thanks and I'm truly glad you're happy with it. It's no Featured Article, to be sure, but it does add to the coverage of buildings by Sir Edwin Lutyens (a very, very important architect [POV!]) and therefore adds a modest something to the sum of Wikipedia knowledge. Best regards. KJP1 ( talk) 18:23, 13 March 2011 (UTC)
Hi there
I just added the page for "Resaas" but it's been tagged for speedy deletion, can you tell me why?

Cymru.lass-I've received a reply from Ling.Nut2 after using the e-mail link on Ling.Nut's original user page. I don't know how this link could be hijacked so I'm of the opinion, for the present, that this user is Ling.Nut. If you have further concerns or any insight into the possibilities that e-mail links are suspect, please contact me. I just checked WP:UAA and did not see your original listing so you may find this note irrelevant. If so, please excuse the ring. See ya 'round Tide rolls 17:35, 19 March 2011 (UTC)

Well, I don't know for certain if I'm the oldest Wikipedian (I am over 50 yet not quite as old as, say, Ward Cunningham), but I have been on Wikipedia for a long time & the periods between my sightings of other old-timer Wikipedians have been consistently getting longer. (The one guy who could beat my record for certain is Slrubenstein, but he's not as active as I am.) Anyway, I might write an account of the "old days" of Wikipedia for the Signpost if I can figure out a way to write about it that entertains readers. (One of the drawbacks of being an old fossil like me is that old fossils tend to be boring.) -- llywrch ( talk) 19:47, 23 March 2011 (UTC)
