Hi Fetchcomms. Sorry to bug you on your talk page, but I had a question about your !vote on my RfA and thought it more appropriate to seek clarification here. When you talk about project space edits, are you talking about the Wikipedia: and Wikipedia Talk: namespaces in general, or specific areas within those such as AfD or AIV? Again, sorry to bug you, I'm just hoping to get a better understanding. Thanks, 28bytes ( talk) 04:32, 2 December 2010 (UTC)

Hi there. We're having a content dispute at the article above - the list of empires has a large 216 entries, and currently the article sees fit to repeat this list 6 times! Clearly a waste of storage and bandwidth. A better solution (saving at least 30% and making it much easier to read and use) would be a table with a column for each attribute, sortable, as used in many other articles (see the discussion). However, a silent editor keeps reverting attempts to clean up the article, without explanation. Please see the discussion (currently nobody disagrees). Your comments would be welcome. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.141.18.207 ( talk) 21:20, 2 December 2010 (UTC)

I'm deeply unimpressed with you "damned if you do, damned if you don't" oppose to the candidates Q6 and have commented at the RFA - I have also added a question there that might, I hope, provoke you into considering your oppose rationale (not your oppose - just the reason). I frankly don't give a toss about the RFA but honestly - opposing when you've set the bait like that strikes me as ... well you get the idea. Pedro : Chat 22:50, 5 December 2010 (UTC)
Hi. As a courtesy, I'm asking you to reconsider your closing of the above-referenced AfD. There was no consensus to delete - the !votes were about even, and were running in favor of keeping if you discount the poorly reasoned or off-topic ones. I find the effort to stamp out lists of Jewish X to be problematic, particularly the undercurrent and frequent voting among those who have qualms over Jewish identity and wish to rid Wikipedia of all navigational tools that address Jewish identity in a systematic way, an opinion you rightly discounted. Your main point, that the notability of Jewish American entertainers was "not conclusively shown", disregards the sources and arguments offered in the discussion. It's absurd on the face of it, particularly using your formulation of the subject as "the importance of Jewish American entertainers to the entertainment industry". Are there sources that Jewish entertainers as a group have been important to the American entertainment industry? Yes, books, works of scholarship, symposiums, museum exhibits, projects, library collections, college curricula. Could anyone seriously question that?
I'll ask for your advice on this, or any other help you'd care to offer. My first instinct is to take this directly to deletion review, as an incorrect determination of consensus. However, if the real issue is establishing that the subject is notable, I could just go ahead and create a non-list article on the subject, then begin adding names either there or in a new list article once the notability is sourced. - Wikidemon ( talk) 08:26, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

Hi, my name is James Fullerton, and I'm a teacher at Southern Lehigh Middle School in PA. Recently I've created a project that involves Wikipedia (WP) and small groups of students making a contribution to a WP article of their choosing, as long as the topic is related to the content of the course - being American Government, Civics, and Economics. For the past 4 weeks, students have become involved in the culture of WP, with many already narrowing in on a topic for their contribution. Here is the supportive material on Wikispaces ( https://wikiedit.wikispaces.com/). Your assistance would be greatly appreciated! Would you be available to act as a mentor to a small group of students as they begin to offer additional content to an article of their interest? The team sizes are numbered between 5-7 students each. I will notify you as to who is in the teams with their WP user names. Jmfullerton ( talk) 17:33, 12 December 2010 (UTC)
Great news! And yes the project should end towards the last week in January 2011. I'll contact you with a listing of teams and members. Again thanks!

I'm rather amazed that I didn't ask you already (I actually thought I did, but I suppose not), but could you give me some advice on what I can do to improve my RfA chances? Upon consulting with some other editors, I decided that it would be better not to try for a third time in December and instead wait until some undetermined time in the new year. I ran into a bit of a brick wall for the article on Vladimir Teplyakov, and I can't think of how to expand it, as I can't find any more sources on him. I've started recently to create more articles, and I hope to continue to do so. However, I'd really appreciate it if you would give me some guidance. -- Slon02 ( talk) 04:58, 13 December 2010 (UTC)

We picked the article Cruel and Unusual Punishment. We were wondering if you could help us edit this page. Where do you think we should start?

Thank you Fetchcomms, and merry Christmas to you too! -- KFP ( contact | edits) 16:19, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
Fletchcomms: From what I can tell, you have taken down the Joseph Oppenheim article I posted a few days ago for some reason. Unfortunately for me and my ignorance, being new to Wikipedia, I cannot decipher the codes to determine what the reason is. The article is extensively referenced (nearly every sentence supported by reliable sources) to correct other impressions about who invented the manure spreader. Do you intend to do some formatting edits, or content edits and then publish the article? Or will it just remain unpublished? In other words, are you going to do something or is there something I should do? What happens now? Thank you. Jjdilen

Can you review the close Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Unbelief here. I was amazed to see a red link to unbelief! The discussions at the AfD objected to the content of the article (although they may have !voted "delete"), therefore I would say the technical close should be "keep" and the action, redirect to Belief.

Thanks Fetchcomms, for all your work assessing articles with WP:USPP over the past few months. I will have some results to report to the assessment team in January. The next semester should be pretty exciting there are over 25 university classes signed up with the project. Your input is helping to gauge how successful the project is, not just at improving the quality of public policy articles, but at incorporating Wikipedia as a teaching tool and recruiting and retaining college students as editors. we still need you in 2011, but it will mostly be assessments of student articles. Currently, there is another round of assessments to look at the improvements students made to their articles. If possible please assess by 5 January 2011; these results will be presented at an international conference later in January! Have a wonderful holiday season, all the best, ARoth (Public Policy Initiative) ( talk) 02:14, 23 December 2010 (UTC)

Hi Fetchcomms. I have what I think is a simple AWB question for you. I am reviewing for a new user an article that he is creating in his userspace. I notice that he has bolded the name of the article’s subject throughout the article, contrary to MOS:BOLD and MOS:BOLDTITLE. What I would like to do, to make unbolding each occurence less tedious, is to use AWB to find and replace all of the occurences on that page. But, sadly, I cannot figure AWB or the manual out! Would you be able to tell me simply how to do this? Thanks and Happy Holidays! — Spike Toronto 01:27, 29 December 2010 (UTC)
Thank you for your offer to perform the find-and-replace for me! That’s very kind of you. You can find the article
here. What I want to do is replace every occurence of INKAS (i..e., '''INKAS'''
) with INKAS (i.e., INKAS
), other than the first occurence in the lede section. Thanks! —

Fetchcomms. Thank you for posting the Joseph Oppenheim article. I would have liked using the picture of his original manure spreader instead of a generic contemporary one (which still uses the same principle, but that is a minor quibble.

Our group includes me, schaedlera , and two other people who have not gotten their accounts yet. They will be getting them soon. Thank you for your time and we hope you can get back to us soon!

Thank you Fetchcomms, and merry Christmas to you too! -- KFP ( contact | edits) 16:19, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
Fletchcomms: From what I can tell, you have taken down the Joseph Oppenheim article I posted a few days ago for some reason. Unfortunately for me and my ignorance, being new to Wikipedia, I cannot decipher the codes to determine what the reason is. The article is extensively referenced (nearly every sentence supported by reliable sources) to correct other impressions about who invented the manure spreader. Do you intend to do some formatting edits, or content edits and then publish the article? Or will it just remain unpublished? In other words, are you going to do something or is there something I should do? What happens now? Thank you. Jjdilen

Can you review the close Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Unbelief here. I was amazed to see a red link to unbelief! The discussions at the AfD objected to the content of the article (although they may have !voted "delete"), therefore I would say the technical close should be "keep" and the action, redirect to Belief.

Thanks Fetchcomms, for all your work assessing articles with WP:USPP over the past few months. I will have some results to report to the assessment team in January. The next semester should be pretty exciting there are over 25 university classes signed up with the project. Your input is helping to gauge how successful the project is, not just at improving the quality of public policy articles, but at incorporating Wikipedia as a teaching tool and recruiting and retaining college students as editors. we still need you in 2011, but it will mostly be assessments of student articles. Currently, there is another round of assessments to look at the improvements students made to their articles. If possible please assess by 5 January 2011; these results will be presented at an international conference later in January! Have a wonderful holiday season, all the best, ARoth (Public Policy Initiative) ( talk) 02:14, 23 December 2010 (UTC)

![]() | On 24 December 2010, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Onno Boelee, which you recently nominated. The fact was ... that former New Zealand wrestler Onno Boelee worked as an actor and opened a private security company after his retirement from wrestling? If you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

The 2006 National Research Council's report Fluoride in Drinking Water: A Scientific Review of EPA's Standards and the 2008 CRS Report for Congress Fluoride in Drinking Water: A Review of Fluoridation and Regulation Issues did find associations to adverse health effects with fluoride in drinking water.[54] [55] This can be seen here in the water fluoridation section. http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=List_of_conspiracy_theories&oldid=404710257 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.120.47.10 ( talk) 23:27, 28 December 2010 (UTC)

Hi Fetchcomms. I have what I think is a simple AWB question for you. I am reviewing for a new user an article that he is creating in his userspace. I notice that he has bolded the name of the article’s subject throughout the article, contrary to MOS:BOLD and MOS:BOLDTITLE. What I would like to do, to make unbolding each occurence less tedious, is to use AWB to find and replace all of the occurences on that page. But, sadly, I cannot figure AWB or the manual out! Would you be able to tell me simply how to do this? Thanks and Happy Holidays! — Spike Toronto 01:27, 29 December 2010 (UTC)
Thank you for your offer to perform the find-and-replace for me! That’s very kind of you. You can find the article
here. What I want to do is replace every occurence of INKAS (i..e., '''INKAS'''
) with INKAS (i.e., INKAS
), other than the first occurence in the lede section. Thanks! —

Fetchcomms. Thank you for posting the Joseph Oppenheim article. I would have liked using the picture of his original manure spreader instead of a generic contemporary one (which still uses the same principle, but that is a minor quibble. Thanks for your quick action. A nice Christmas present. With every wish that 2011 is an excellent year for you
