With the first of what I hope will be monthly newsletters I again want to welcome you to the project and hope that as we all work together through the year we can expand the project, create missing articles and generally improve the pedia thought mutual cooperation and support. Now that we have a project and a solid pool of willing members I wanted to strike while the iron is hot and solicite help in doing a few things that I believe is a good next step in solidifiing the project. I have outlined a few suggestions where you can help with on the projects talk page. This includes but is not limited too updating Portal:United States, assessing the remaining US related articles that haven't been assessed, eliminating the Unrefernced BLP's and others. If you have other suggestions or are interested in doing other things feel free. I just wanted to offer a few suggestions were additional help is needed. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions, comments or suggestions or you can always post something on the projects talk page. If you do not want to recieve a monthly message please put an * before your name on the members page.-- Kumioko ( talk) 03:24, 12 January 2011 (UTC)
Hi Fetchcomms. I was recently reviewing a list of pages that are indefinitely fully protected in case any could be unprotected per the third pillar. I came across Zeba which it looks like you protected in September to stop an edit-war by suspected socks. As it's been a couple of months, I was wondering if we could lower protection on this page. I know we have to be careful around WP:BLP, so perhaps we could give this a try on semi-protect and follow-up with sockpuppet investigations of suspected socks if they continue to vandalize? Your call. I'm not an admin so feel free to reduce as you see fit. Bringing this here as opposed to WP:RFPP since you're the protecting admin and may have to do less research to get back up to speed. Hope you're having a great day!-- Gnowor T C 23:42, 12 January 2011 (UTC)

You see, I have actually checked that page before, but I simply didn't find the data I was looking for, though it was quite in evidence. I should pay more attention next time. Thank you very much! Victão Lopes I hear you... 17:32, 13 January 2011 (UTC)
I looked up what RD5 was as I'd never seen an RD5 before when it appeared in my watchlist. In doing so I noted RD5 says "It is important that the underlying reason for deletion be made clear in the log summary." Thought I should bring this to your attention as you didn't do so.

On both vector and monobook your talk page runs off below the bottom of the viewable screen and I have to use "edit" in order to read it. Is this happening to anyone but me? I appreciate that you've put a lot of work into the HTML/CSS code of the page and it looks nice but it is a hassle to read and navigate. There's also a white bar at the top of the screen, but I suppose that those using a white background won't notice it. 3 ¢ soap Talk/ Contributions 00:00, 15 January 2011 (UTC)

You wrote something.
A more general "response to the 2011 Tucson shooting" article might be appropriate, though. /ƒETCHCOMMS/ 20:12, 16 January 2011 (UTC) Retrieved from " http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Barack_Obama_speech_at_Tucson_memorial"
I think you put it in the wrong place. Suggest moving the comment to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Public_reactions_to_the_Giffords_assassination_attempt because that is the proper forum for your comment. Up to you. Madrid 2020 ( talk) 21:26, 16 January 2011 (UTC)
Hi Fetchcomms. I hope you are doing well, as am I. Do you think you have any time to look over Manoj-Babli honour killing case and give me any suggestions? After the GAN, I plan to bring this article to FA. I hope that you can give me some guidance. Codedon ( talk) 19:14, 17 January 2011 (UTC)
![]() | Hi there! I thought you might be interested in WikiProject Wikify's February 2011 Wikification Backlog Elimination Drive. We'll be trying to reduce the backlog to 18,000 articles and clear the 2008 backlog, and we need your help! Top participants in the drive will receive barnstars for their contributions! If you have a spare moment, please join and wikify an article or tell your friends. Thanks! Note: The drive starts February 1, but you can sign up today! |
First, thanks Fetchcomms, I am in awe of the work the assessment team did for this project. The results from the quantitative metric assessments were amazing, really. Check out what your work shows about Wikipedia article quality - I think it’s exciting, but you’ve probably figured out by now that I’m a bit of a nerd. A summary is posted on the
Assessment page and a report will be on the
Outreach wiki.
Second, I wanted to ask if you haven’t done many assessments on the
Student post articles, to please do a couple; articles toward the bottom have only 1 or none assessments. I know some of the material is pretty dry, but this assessment is the most important one for the fall semester and this assessment will be the primary method of showing article quality to the project grant funder. So please do a couple if you possibly can. HUGE Thanks -

I particularly liked your argument here (it seems the best solution raised by anyone, so far) - I'm not sure how heavily involved in editing the content in question you are, but I have suggested that people take this as a starting point. Ironholds ( talk) 23:22, 22 January 2011 (UTC)
Thanks so much for using the Reflinks tool on this article and showing it to me. I was pretty daunted thinking about using wikicite to fix all those references. You really saved the day for me. Thanks again. Glennconti ( talk) 05:04, 23 January 2011 (UTC)

Hi Fetchcomms, certainly the update task could be done by a bot. This probably would be a new task, since what is included in the Article alerts is candidacy not achievement. But I am also open to a discussion regarding the content of the bulletin. certainly the bot would need to be quite specific. Right now the WikiProject seems to be extremely sleepy, so improvements in this area haven't been a major priority for me, but I welcome any initiative. Ah, and belated happy birthday btw. :) -- Elekhh ( talk) 03:48, 27 January 2011 (UTC)
Hi. :) Just noticed your comment here and wanted to let you know that article listed at WP:SCV are incorporated at CP and thus aren't usually listed separately.

![]() | On 27 January 2011, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Hypsibema missouriensis, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that bones of Hypsibema missouriensis, now the state dinosaur of Missouri, have only been found in Bollinger County, Missouri? You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |
I haven't seen you recently at en-help so I came here to say hello. I hope all is well. Cheers My76 Strat 03:31, 28 January 2011 (UTC)

We are half way through round one of the WikiCup. Signups are now closed, and we have 129 listed competitors, 64 of whom will make it to round two. Congratulations to
The Bushranger (
submissions), who, at the time of writing, has a comfortable lead with 228 points, followed by
Hurricanehink (
submissions), with 144 points. Four others have over 100 points. Congratulations also go to
Yellow Evan (
submissions), who scored the first points in the competition, claiming for
Talk:Hurricane King/GA1,
Miyagawa (
submissions), who scored the first non-review points in the competition, claiming for
Dognapping, and
Jarry1250 (
submissions) who was the first in the competition to use our new "multiplier" mechanic (
explanation), claiming for
Grigory Potemkin, a subject covered on numerous Wikipedias. Thanks must also go to Jarry1250 for dealing with all bot work- without you, the competition wouldn't be happening!
A running total of claims can be seen here. However, numerous competitors are yet to score at all- please remember to submit content soon after it is promoted, so that the judges are able to review entries. The number of points that will be needed to reach round two is not clear- everyone needs to get their entries in now to guarantee their places! 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! If you wish to start receiving or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.
