Hi. I've undone your non-admin closure of this AfD because per WP:NACD, "close calls and controversial decisions are better left to an administrator". In addition, your assessment of consensus was evidently mistaken; if indeed you attempted to determine consensus at all. Please refrain from closing AfD discussions until you have had more experience with AfD procedure and practice. Regards, Sandstein 09:37, 29 January 2013 (UTC)
Hey Tate, since you've reviewed several good articles nominations and reviewed Meredith Grey's, could you give your opinion at Talk:Meredith_Grey#In-Universe_and_other_concerns? Thanks. -- Sofffie7 ( talk) 23:19, 31 January 2013 (UTC)
Signups are now closed; we have our final 127 contestants for this year's competition. 64 contestants will make it to the next round at the end of February, but we're already seeing strong scoring compared to previous years.
Sturmvogel_66 (
submissions) currently leads, with 358 points. At this stage in 2012, the leader (
Grapple X (
submissions)) had 342 points, while in 2011, the leader had 228 points. We also have a large number of scorers when compared with this stage in previous years.
12george1 (
submissions) was the first competitor to score this year, as he was last year, with a
detailed good article review. Some other firsts:
Featured articles, portals and topics, as well as good topics, are yet to feature in the competition.
This year, the bonus points system has been reworked, with bonus points on offer for old articles prepared for did you know, and "multiplier" points reworked to become more linear. For details, please see Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring. There have been some teething problems as the bot has worked its way around the new system, but issues should mostly be ironed out- please report any problems to the WikiCup talk page. Here are some participants worthy of note with regards to the bonus points:
Also, a quick mention of
The C of E (
submissions), who may well have already written the
oddest article of the WikiCup this year: did you know that the Fucking mayor objected to
Fucking Hell on the grounds that there was no Fucking brewery? The gauntlet has been thrown down; can anyone beat it?
If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

Hi, you recently moved File:Marywollstonecraft.jpg in response to a request I placed at Category:Wikipedia files requiring renaming, using {{ rename media}}. I'm not sure my request was a good idea, as this file is on Wikimedia Commons. Please read Wikipedia:Village pump (technical)#Are Commons files transcluded into File: namespace?, where I describe what I was doing and why. Sorry, I probably should have worded that nicer, hope you don't take offense. I'm thinking now after reading the guidelines on moving Wikimedia files, which were only documented over there (I just added Commons guideline info to {{ rename media}} documentaion), that the request I submitted on behalf of that other user should be undone as the reason may not be sufficient to meet the criteria. Hoping you can help me sort this out. Wbm1058 ( talk) 19:54, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
I appreciate the thought but I can manage my own talk page. Also, you didn't roll it back all the way, the IP was just moving their post to the bottom (where it belongs). Crazynas t 03:49, 6 February 2013 (UTC)

I closed this discussion as no consensus, but you should feel free to relist it as a discussion for merging it with {{ Geographic Location}}. That would require tagging both templates with {{ tfm}}.

Hello, I have recently listed Millennium Force for a peer review and I'm skeptical about how long I'll have to wait and the quality of the PR will be.

Why did you relist? it's clear consensus. LibStar ( talk) 04:59, 13 February 2013 (UTC)
( talk page stalker) I support the relisting. As I mentioned in the AfD, WP:RELIST does not specify that admins must be involved in borderline relisting, and in fact it is in no way related to non-admin closures. I believe WP:NAC was used as the baseline for the argument in that it's recommended admins close close-call closures. NAC is only an essay and not related to RELIST in any way shape or form. In fact, NAC is the only place where it's suggested admins take care of close call situations in XfD. The relist was closer to 'should be relisted under WP:RELIST' than 'do not relist'. @Libstar, I don't think you should be giving the recommendation that relisting should not be done in unanimous instances as clearly RELIST includes that possibility. You got the ANI wrong, and now it seems even the policy since going to any admin in any situation would not be helpful as TBrandley has not gone against any policy, guideline, or essay. Mkdw talk 06:38, 13 February 2013 (UTC)
on the same token, i think almost all closing admins would have closed as delete. instead we are all wasting so much time on this AfD with extra delete !votes and arguing here. could have been avoided easily. TBrandley thank you for listening. it is appreicated LibStar ( talk) 06:48, 13 February 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for closing the Afd related to 'International reactions to the 2012 Burgas bus bombing'. I have now taken the content I believe worthy of keeping and transferred it to the host article. I would now formally ask you to merge the articles' histories. Thanks, -- Ohconfucius ping / poke 04:05, 14 February 2013 (UTC)
you probably aren't aware of: your talk page is too wide to fit on a normal 13" laptop screen, and I can't find a link to your archives. -- Kudpung กุดผึ้ง ( talk) 09:19, 12 February 2013 (UTC)
Again, not wanting to dent your enthusiasm, but while NAO are not forbidden (although not generally helpful), actual closures are best left to admins, and we usually leave around 7 days before closing for a non-response. It has happened in the past that we have disagreed with NAC. You might like to read all the threads here. -- Kudpung กุดผึ้ง ( talk) 03:15, 15 February 2013 (UTC)
Hey TBrandley, care to take a look at my GA Proposals and see what you think? They're at subheadings of Wikipedia talk:Good article nominations#Dead Refs OK?. Is that the best place for them? Ryan Vesey 17:07, 17 February 2013 (UTC)
You did a better job closing the AFD than when I tried a week ago. I thought it was a no-brainer but I lacked the technical skills to do the job correctly but I'm glad you saw it the way I saw it. It was a snow-keep & I'm glad you were Bold. Your act was in good faith and it improved the encyclopedia. I'm glad you followed IAR as well.

Starship uploaded a Flickr file marked all rights reserved to Commons and then when it was deleted, uploaded it here. But for some reason neglected to put it back in the article. So I deleted it and left him a stiff note on his talkpage. I note that he has had several files deleted on Commons and that you have spoken to him there about copyright, so I'm letting you know. I'd really like to be wrong on this one. Yngvadottir ( talk) 16:41, 18 February 2013 (UTC)

Hey TBrandley, I just wanted to make a quick comment regarding your new signature. I have pretty decent vision (20/20) and the colors are a little hard for me to make out. I would imagine that visually impaired individuals might also have an issue with it. Perhaps you could check the accessibility Wiki-Project which I believe has some guidelines regarding signatures? The orange is what I think is rather hard to read. It may just be the fact that my eyes have been dozing in and out lately and if so, sorry for bothering you. Just something to think about. Thanks.

Hi TBrandley, I'm interested to hear why you thought a relist was appropriate at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of papabili in the 2013 papal conclave. Per WP:RELIST, relisting is for when a "discussion has only a few participants" (certainly not the case here) or "it seems to be lacking arguments based on policy." Do you think it's the latter, then? As the guideline says, a relist shouldn't substitute for a no consensus close, which might have been more appropriate there. I have no problems with NACs—I perform them occasionally at AfD and frequently at RM—but I believe this decision would have been better left to an administrator. -- BDD ( talk) 23:48, 12 March 2013 (UTC)

I got to this page a I seek help in resolving an issue with a page I created a few months ago for my former boss, MGen(ret) Alain Forand.
The disputed text is the generic biography used form another DND officiel site which I used from what I was given by the Regiment's office.
Although it is now considered a copyright violation, aside of re-writng everything, how can I revert this context and show his biography ?

Hey Tate! How are you?
As you've probably noticed, I've been away from Wikipedia for over 2 months now. I have literally been so busy with school as of late that I have had no time to work on Wikipedia. How has life on the 'pedia been for you? Any new achievements? Any conflicts worth sharing? I hope you've been enjoying your time on the site. I notice that you have >25,000 edits! Wow! The last time I checked I think you were just crossing the 10,000 plateau. Congratulations on your great accomplishment.
I think one of our last discussions was about our yearly television schedules. What have you been watching recently? Did you catch the premiere of Bates Motel on Monday night? It was a great pilot, especially if you're a fan of Psycho. Any new shows that you've taken an interest in?
As I said to Sophie, I plan on making my return to Wikipedia around summertime, during which I'll have plenty of time to resume collaborating with you guys and working on WP:SGH! How has the project been holding up lately? I imagine it has winded down since the summer, when we were whipping up good articles by the dozen! I hope to hear from you soon.

Hi TBrandley. I received a message from you about the edits I had made on the Grey's Anatomy page. I believe the deletion you refer to was crediting Matt Mania as the Director of Photography.

Hello TBrandley, your recently promoted featured list would make a very suitable candidate for main page inclusion if you would be interested in nominating it. We have a process at Today's featured list which enables us to create blurbs and then gather community support for lists to be presented on the main page every Monday. The process allows up to ten nominations at the submissions page, so if it's full you may need to wait, but it would be great if you could consider nominating your list, or helping out with those other lists that have already been nominated. Thanks for your ongoing interest in the featured list process. The Rambling Man ( talk) 19:01, 29 March 2013 (UTC)

The problem is that there is not just a community by that name, there's an area. The community is really just an old rail siding, the valley is that of the West Kettle River and also the main Kettle River; if anything Kettle Valley should be a redirect to the latter..... Your campaign to strip unique placenames has issues, e.g. Eholt is also a notable person's name. Stripping these obscure places of where they are may follow wiki "rules" but it does nothing to make the encyclopedia more readable or accessible and removes context for readers who are not from BC or Canada......please desist......e.g. NB in a similar geographic parallel, there's Christina Lake, British Columbia (the community article) v. Christina Lake (British Columbia) the lake/geography article - don't merge them please, there's reasons for the distinction and lots of other similar examples.

Hey TBrandley, I'm very happy to see you have been keeping an eye out and watching the Spokane, Washington article and trying to improve it. That is excellent, especially considering there are virtually no other registered users that do so, which is sad shame because that leaves a very good quality article to the devices of inexperienced IPs to run amok editing it :[. In speaking of the quality, I just recently saw that the article was last assessed in early 2009, which is quite a long time ago and the article has improved substantially since then, I think listing it for reassessment at Wikipedia:WikiProject Cities/Assessment might be in order for what that is worth lol...
Anyway, Thanks for your contributions! 75.106.202.98 ( talk) 03:47, 22 April 2013 (UTC)
Abbotsford may not be inside the Metro Vancouver area but the list is for airports that serve the associated city. If we use that as a criteria then Gatwick, Luton, Stansted and Southend as none of them are in Greater London. The same would apply to a lot of the airports on the list. Cheers.

It looks like you forgot this one again. If you can't give it attention with 48 hours of seeing this, I think you should strongly consider withdrawing as reviewer: making the nominator wait one month is truly excessive. BlueMoonset ( talk) 00:44, 30 April 2013 (UTC)
I just the creation of Category:Populated places on the Okanagan Lake and it's not titled properly. Category:Populated places on Okanagan Lake is normal BC English. The "the" wouldn't occur even in the old-fashioned version of the name Category:Populated places on Lake Okanagan. Because you created this, you can have it "speedied".....I may be able to get that done also because of the "the" not being idiomatic; please spend your energies writing and improving articles and don't fuss with categories or their creation until you are more familiar with category structures and naming conventions. Lots of places in the Okanagan need expanded writeups and photos; we don't need more Okanagan categories. "the Okanagan Lake" I've also noticed in your writing; just curious, are you from the UK? That's not a normal Canadian English idiom. Skookum1 ( talk) 00:36, 29 April 2013 (UTC)
Howdy- If you remember, I recently placed a peer review request for Washington (state). The review received no response, and was archived. I am going to go on ahead and try to get the article to GA or FA level. I just wanted to let you know. Have a good one. PrairieKid ( talk) 21:34, 6 May 2013 (UTC)

Hey, just wanted to say what an awesome job your doing with the Omak, Washington article! Good article and going on featured, its amazing how detailed that thing is and how much content it has. Never thought the Omak article would have more cites than the Seattle article, lol. Kudos to you for all the time you've put in on it-the work shows!
Anyway, I am hoping you dont get all wikied out and stop editing, because I think it is the right time for the Spokane, Washington article to get some recognition and go for featured article. If your interested and want to nominate it (after your done with the Omak featured article, of course) I would definitely try to help you address any fixes the reviewers find. I dont find anything lacking in it when looking at the criteria they lay out (if you find something, holler and Ill look into it!). Its comprehensive, well written, well researched and well cited throughout, neutral POV, neatly organized and logically structured, and beautifully illustrated. Cant ask for more!
If this article ever gets featured, its would be now-before linkrot sets in, the IPs start putting in the 'Celebz from Spokane' section again, start monkeying with the climate table, and practically deleting entire sections without it going noticed because almost no registered users look at it :(. Now, Ive spent a lot of time trying to bring it up to spec, and Ive finally reached the point where Ive run out of ideas and I dont think its possible for it to not get promoted if we just put the time in to work on it. How rare is it that someone would be able to promote 2 FAs in about a month that are in the same WikiProject and sub wikiproject, lol. Unreal.
Anyway, if your interested let me know!
Have fun! 75.106.202.98 ( talk) 01:32, 16 May 2013 (UTC)

Hello! There is currently a debate over at the American Dad! talk page here regarding edits that you made over a year ago (this [3] and this [4]). Basically, your age-level rating edit was removed the other day by a user as "untrue." I then came in and restored the edit as "true" with a source. Then user:Doniago, who thought I made the edit and who has a habit of trying to start edit wars with me (quintessential example, as shown in the following where he has to self-revert as he realizes one of his reversions of my material is unconstructive: [5] and here [6]), jumped in the matter and stated the TV-14 material was "trivia." He used the argument that these types of ratings are discouraged at the wiki-project film article (as opposed to the wikiproject television article because it wasn't found there). I told him that he can't use policies located at wikiproject film for a television show. He argued that all policies of wikiproject film should too apply for wikiproject television. I told him that if all the same rules applied as between the two articles, they wouldn't both exist, that there would only be one article for both television and film. Doniago and CTF83 have been firmly claiming they are there because the edit in question and that it is "trivia" and "trivial junk" (as shown here [7]) yet are bringing up slews of other irrelevant matters into the argument. An administrator has since stepped in the matter and told the two users they were both wrong and I was right (as shown here [8] and here [9]), but this has been to no avail (as shown here [10]). Doniago has since resorted to begging for a block to get his way, and is irking administrators at the administrative noticeboards now (as shown [11]). As you made the edit, I was hoping you could step in as myself and administrators don't seem to be putting an end to the obnoxious behaviors from the two editors Doniago and CTF83.

I wanted to note your edit of List of states and territories of the United States is not technically correct. The District of Columbia and Washington are not legally the same thing - according to the US Census Bureau (page 31 of this document) "The District of Columbia has one city, Washington, which is coextensive with the District of Columbia. Washington city governmentally consolidated with the District of Columbia in 1874, which is a functioning government at the equivalent of the state level". Basically, the District is a consolidated city-county like San Francisco. Because the article is discussing the district - not the city - it is important to distinguish between the two, similar to how the list of List of counties in California discusses San Francisco in the context of a county, not a city.

Today I decided to look into the final discussions on WP:ANI of complaints about User:Qworty. The enormous on-going trainwreck of subtle vandalism from that contributor was recognized about a month after you called for greater AGF to be extended to them, on April 4th, in Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive791#Persistent disruption by User:Qworty in articles on gender studies academics.
Can I ask if you noticed the expose entitled Revenge, ego and the corruption of Wikipedia published in Salon magazine?
It seems to me that Wikipedia has a pretty good record of detecting and reverting casual and obvious vandalism, but we are very weak at detecting subtle vandalism, like that of Qworty. I think there are still important lessons to be learned from the Qworty case -- hence my curiousity as to whether you changed your view on those earlier concerns about Qworty.

In 30 days, we will know the identity of our 2013 WikiCup champion.
Cwmhiraeth (
submissions) currently leads; if that lead is held, she will become the first person to have won the WikiCup twice.
Sasata (
submissions),
Hawkeye7 (
submissions)—who has never participated in the competition before—and
Casliber (
submissions) follow. The majority of points in this round have come from a mix of good articles and bonus points. This final round is seeing contributions to a number of highly important topics; recent submissions include
Phoenix (constellation) (FA by Casliber),
Ernest Lawrence (GA by Hawkeye7),
Pinniped, and
red fox (both GAs by Sasata).
The did you know (DYK) eligibility criteria have recently changed, meaning that newly passed good articles are accepted as "new" for did you know purposes. However, in the interests of not changing the WikiCup rules mid-competition, please note that only articles eligible for DYK under the old system (that is, newly created articles or 5x expansions) will be eligible for points in this year's WikiCup. We do, however, have time to discuss how this new system will work for next year's competition; a discussion will be opened in due course. On that note, thoughts are welcome on changes you'd like to see for next year. What worked? What didn't work? What would you like to see more of? What would you like to see less of? All Wikipedians, new or old, are also warmly invited to sign up for the 2014 WikiCup.
If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to reduce the review backlogs!

Hi. I've undone your non-admin closure of this AfD because per WP:NACD, "close calls and controversial decisions are better left to an administrator".

Signups are now closed; we have our final 127 contestants for this year's competition. 64 contestants will make it to the next round at the end of February, but we're already seeing strong scoring compared to previous years.
Sturmvogel_66 (
submissions) currently leads, with 358 points. At this stage in 2012, the leader (
Grapple X (
submissions)) had 342 points, while in 2011, the leader had 228 points. We also have a large number of scorers when compared with this stage in previous years.
12george1 (
submissions) was the first competitor to score this year, as he was last year, with a
detailed good article review. Some other firsts:
Featured articles, portals and topics, as well as good topics, are yet to feature in the competition.
This year, the bonus points system has been reworked, with bonus points on offer for old articles prepared for did you know, and "multiplier" points reworked to become more linear. For details, please see Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring. There have been some teething problems as the bot has worked its way around the new system, but issues should mostly be ironed out- please report any problems to the WikiCup talk page. Here are some participants worthy of note with regards to the bonus points:
Also, a quick mention of
The C of E (
submissions), who may well have already written the
oddest article of the WikiCup this year: did you know that the Fucking mayor objected to
Fucking Hell on the grounds that there was no Fucking brewery? The gauntlet has been thrown down; can anyone beat it?
If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews.

Hi, you recently moved File:Marywollstonecraft.jpg in response to a request I placed at Category:Wikipedia files requiring renaming, using {{ rename media}}. I'm not sure my request was a good idea, as this file is on Wikimedia Commons. Please read Wikipedia:Village pump (technical)#Are Commons files transcluded into File: namespace?, where I describe what I was doing and why. Sorry, I probably should have worded that nicer, hope you don't take offense. I'm thinking now after reading the guidelines on moving Wikimedia files, which were only documented over there (I just added Commons guideline info to {{ rename media}} documentaion), that the request I submitted on behalf of that other user should be undone as the reason may not be sufficient to meet the criteria. Hoping you can help me sort this out. Wbm1058 ( talk) 19:54, 5 February 2013 (UTC)

Why did you relist? it's clear consensus. LibStar ( talk) 04:59, 13 February 2013 (UTC)
( talk page stalker) I support the relisting. As I mentioned in the AfD, WP:RELIST does not specify that admins must be involved in borderline relisting, and in fact it is in no way related to non-admin closures. I believe WP:NAC was used as the baseline for the argument in that it's recommended admins close close-call closures. NAC is only an essay and not related to RELIST in any way shape or form. In fact, NAC is the only place where it's suggested admins take care of close call situations in XfD. The relist was closer to 'should be relisted under WP:RELIST' than 'do not relist'. @Libstar, I don't think you should be giving the recommendation that relisting should not be done in unanimous instances as clearly RELIST includes that possibility. You got the ANI wrong, and now it seems even the policy since going to any admin in any situation would not be helpful as TBrandley has not gone against any policy, guideline, or essay. Mkdw talk 06:38, 13 February 2013 (UTC)
on the same token, i think almost all closing admins would have closed as delete. instead we are all wasting so much time on this AfD with extra delete !votes and arguing here. could have been avoided easily.

Again, not wanting to dent your enthusiasm, but while NAO are not forbidden (although not generally helpful), actual closures are best left to admins, and we usually leave around 7 days before closing for a non-response.

Starship uploaded a Flickr file marked all rights reserved to Commons and then when it was deleted, uploaded it here. But for some reason neglected to put it back in the article. So I deleted it and left him a stiff note on his talkpage. I note that he has had several files deleted on Commons and that you have spoken to him there about copyright, so I'm letting you know.

Hey TBrandley, I just wanted to make a quick comment regarding your new signature. I have pretty decent vision (20/20) and the colors are a little hard for me to make out. I would imagine that visually impaired individuals might also have an issue with it. Perhaps you could check the accessibility Wiki-Project which I believe has some guidelines regarding signatures? The orange is what I think is rather hard to read. It may just be the fact that my eyes have been dozing in and out lately and if so, sorry for bothering you. Just something to think about. Thanks.

Hi TBrandley, I'm interested to hear why you thought a relist was appropriate at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of papabili in the 2013 papal conclave. Per WP:RELIST, relisting is for when a "discussion has only a few participants" (certainly not the case here) or "it seems to be lacking arguments based on policy." Do you think it's the latter, then? As the guideline says, a relist shouldn't substitute for a no consensus close, which might have been more appropriate there. I have no problems with NACs—I perform them occasionally at AfD and frequently at RM—but I believe this decision would have been better left to an administrator. -- BDD ( talk) 23:48, 12 March 2013 (UTC)

I got to this page a I seek help in resolving an issue with a page I created a few months ago for my former boss, MGen(ret) Alain Forand.
The disputed text is the generic biography used form another DND officiel site which I used from what I was given by the Regiment's office.
Although it is now considered a copyright violation, aside of re-writng everything, how can I revert this context and show his biography ?

Hey Tate! How are you?
As you've probably noticed, I've been away from Wikipedia for over 2 months now. I have literally been so busy with school as of late that I have had no time to work on Wikipedia. How has life on the 'pedia been for you? Any new achievements? Any conflicts worth sharing? I hope you've been enjoying your time on the site. I notice that you have >25,000 edits! Wow! The last time I checked I think you were just crossing the 10,000 plateau. Congratulations on your great accomplishment.
I think one of our last discussions was about our yearly television schedules. What have you been watching recently? Did you catch the premiere of Bates Motel on Monday night? It was a great pilot, especially if you're a fan of Psycho. Any new shows that you've taken an interest in?
As I said to Sophie, I plan on making my return to Wikipedia around summertime, during which I'll have plenty of time to resume collaborating with you guys and working on WP:SGH! How has the project been holding up lately? I imagine it has winded down since the summer, when we were whipping up good articles by the dozen! I hope to hear from you soon.

Hello TBrandley, your recently promoted featured list would make a very suitable candidate for main page inclusion if you would be interested in nominating it. We have a process at Today's featured list which enables us to create blurbs and then gather community support for lists to be presented on the main page every Monday. The process allows up to ten nominations at the submissions page, so if it's full you may need to wait, but it would be great if you could consider nominating your list, or helping out with those other lists that have already been nominated. Thanks for your ongoing interest in the featured list process. The Rambling Man ( talk) 19:01, 29 March 2013 (UTC)

The problem is that there is not just a community by that name, there's an area. The community is really just an old rail siding, the valley is that of the West Kettle River and also the main Kettle River; if anything Kettle Valley should be a redirect to the latter..... Your campaign to strip unique placenames has issues, e.g. Eholt is also a notable person's name. Stripping these obscure places of where they are may follow wiki "rules" but it does nothing to make the encyclopedia more readable or accessible and removes context for readers who are not from BC or Canada......please desist......e.g. NB in a similar geographic parallel, there's Christina Lake, British Columbia (the community article) v. Christina Lake (British Columbia) the lake/geography article - don't merge them please, there's reasons for the distinction and lots of other similar examples.

Hey TBrandley, I'm very happy to see you have been keeping an eye out and watching the Spokane, Washington article and trying to improve it. That is excellent, especially considering there are virtually no other registered users that do so, which is sad shame because that leaves a very good quality article to the devices of inexperienced IPs to run amok editing it :[. In speaking of the quality, I just recently saw that the article was last assessed in early 2009, which is quite a long time ago and the article has improved substantially since then, I think listing it for reassessment at Wikipedia:WikiProject Cities/Assessment might be in order for what that is worth lol...

I just the creation of Category:Populated places on the Okanagan Lake and it's not titled properly. Category:Populated places on Okanagan Lake is normal BC English. The "the" wouldn't occur even in the old-fashioned version of the name Category:Populated places on Lake Okanagan. Because you created this, you can have it "speedied".....I may be able to get that done also because of the "the" not being idiomatic; please spend your energies writing and improving articles and don't fuss with categories or their creation until you are more familiar with category structures and naming conventions. Lots of places in the Okanagan need expanded writeups and photos; we don't need more Okanagan categories. "the Okanagan Lake" I've also noticed in your writing; just curious, are you from the UK? That's not a normal Canadian English idiom. Skookum1 ( talk) 00:36, 29 April 2013 (UTC)

Hey, just wanted to say what an awesome job your doing with the Omak, Washington article! Good article and going on featured, its amazing how detailed that thing is and how much content it has. Never thought the Omak article would have more cites than the Seattle article, lol. Kudos to you for all the time you've put in on it-the work shows!
Anyway, I am hoping you dont get all wikied out and stop editing, because I think it is the right time for the Spokane, Washington article to get some recognition and go for featured article. If your interested and want to nominate it (after your done with the Omak featured article, of course) I would definitely try to help you address any fixes the reviewers find. I dont find anything lacking in it when looking at the criteria they lay out (if you find something, holler and Ill look into it!). Its comprehensive, well written, well researched and well cited throughout, neutral POV, neatly organized and logically structured, and beautifully illustrated. Cant ask for more!
If this article ever gets featured, its would be now-before linkrot sets in, the IPs start putting in the 'Celebz from Spokane' section again, start monkeying with the climate table, and practically deleting entire sections without it going noticed because almost no registered users look at it :(. Now, Ive spent a lot of time trying to bring it up to spec, and Ive finally reached the point where Ive run out of ideas and I dont think its possible for it to not get promoted if we just put the time in to work on it. How rare is it that someone would be able to promote 2 FAs in about a month that are in the same WikiProject and sub wikiproject, lol. Unreal.
Anyway, if your interested let me know!

Hello! There is currently a debate over at the American Dad! talk page here regarding edits that you made over a year ago (this [3] and this [4]). Basically, your age-level rating edit was removed the other day by a user as "untrue." I then came in and restored the edit as "true" with a source. Then user:Doniago, who thought I made the edit and who has a habit of trying to start edit wars with me (quintessential example, as shown in the following where he has to self-revert as he realizes one of his reversions of my material is unconstructive: [5] and here [6]), jumped in the matter and stated the TV-14 material was "trivia." He used the argument that these types of ratings are discouraged at the wiki-project film article (as opposed to the wikiproject television article because it wasn't found there). I told him that he can't use policies located at wikiproject film for a television show. He argued that all policies of wikiproject film should too apply for wikiproject television. I told him that if all the same rules applied as between the two articles, they wouldn't both exist, that there would only be one article for both television and film. Doniago and CTF83 have been firmly claiming they are there because the edit in question and that it is "trivia" and "trivial junk" (as shown here [7]) yet are bringing up slews of other irrelevant matters into the argument. An administrator has since stepped in the matter and told the two users they were both wrong and I was right (as shown here [8] and here [9]), but this has been to no avail (as shown here [10]). Doniago has since resorted to begging for a block to get his way, and is irking administrators at the administrative noticeboards now (as shown [11]). As you made the edit, I was hoping you could step in as myself and administrators don't seem to be putting an end to the obnoxious behaviors from the two editors Doniago and CTF83.

orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed.
You may add it back if you think that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see

Hey TBrandley, we haven't crossed paths much lately for whatever reason ... I haven't been as active, doesn't look like you have either. Just wanted to take a moment to say hello, and that I hope all is well with you. Go Phightins ! 03:13, 26 June 2013 (UTC)
Hi. We're organizing an office hours session with the Teahouse to bring in mentors from across the wiki to try out Snuggle and discuss it's potential to support mentorship broadly. The Snuggle team would appreciate it if you would come and participate in the discussion. We'll be having it in #wikimedia-office connect on Wed. July 17th @ 1600 UTC. See the agenda for more info. -- EpochFail( talk • work), Technical 13 ( talk), TheOriginalSoni ( talk) 19:00, 12 July 2013 (UTC)
I wanted to note your edit of List of states and territories of the United States is not technically correct. The District of Columbia and Washington are not legally the same thing - according to the US Census Bureau (page 31 of this document) "The District of Columbia has one city, Washington, which is coextensive with the District of Columbia. Washington city governmentally consolidated with the District of Columbia in 1874, which is a functioning government at the equivalent of the state level". Basically, the District is a consolidated city-county like San Francisco. Because the article is discussing the district - not the city - it is important to distinguish between the two, similar to how the list of List of counties in California discusses San Francisco in the context of a county, not a city.

I was wondering if you could promote/close some of the A-class articles. It seems that GrappleX and TRLIJC19 have pretty much left the building. "Millennium", "X-Cops", and "Vienen" all have supports, and there hasn't been any comments in months.-- Gen. Quon (Talk) 21:22, 1 August 2013 (UTC)
Today I decided to look into the final discussions on WP:ANI of complaints about User:Qworty. The enormous on-going trainwreck of subtle vandalism from that contributor was recognized about a month after you called for greater AGF to be extended to them, on April 4th, in Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive791#Persistent disruption by User:Qworty in articles on gender studies academics.
Can I ask if you noticed the expose entitled Revenge, ego and the corruption of Wikipedia published in Salon magazine?
It seems to me that Wikipedia has a pretty good record of detecting and reverting casual and obvious vandalism, but we are very weak at detecting subtle vandalism, like that of Qworty. I think there are still important lessons to be learned from the Qworty case -- hence my curiousity as to whether you changed your view on those earlier concerns about Qworty.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Israel, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Unitary ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

In 30 days, we will know the identity of our 2013 WikiCup champion.
Cwmhiraeth (
submissions) currently leads; if that lead is held, she will become the first person to have won the WikiCup twice.
Sasata (
submissions),
Hawkeye7 (
submissions)—who has never participated in the competition before—and
Casliber (
submissions) follow. The majority of points in this round have come from a mix of good articles and bonus points. This final round is seeing contributions to a number of highly important topics; recent submissions include
Phoenix (constellation) (FA by Casliber),
Ernest Lawrence (GA by Hawkeye7),
Pinniped, and
red fox (both GAs by Sasata).
The did you know (DYK) eligibility criteria have recently changed, meaning that newly passed good articles are accepted as "new" for did you know purposes. However, in the interests of not changing the WikiCup rules mid-competition, please note that only articles eligible for DYK under the old system (that is, newly created articles or 5x expansions) will be eligible for points in this year's WikiCup. We do, however, have time to discuss how this new system will work for next year's competition; a discussion will be opened in due course. On that note, thoughts are welcome on changes you'd like to see for next year. What worked? What didn't work? What would you like to see more of? What would you like to see less of? All Wikipedians, new or old, are also warmly invited to sign up for the 2014 WikiCup.
If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to reduce the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!
