WikiProject AFC is holding a one month long assessment drive!
The goal of this drive is to eliminate the backlog of unreviewed articles. The drive is running from July 15, 2007 – August 15, 2007.
Awards to be won range from delicacies such as the
WikiCookie to barnstars.
There is a backlog of more than one year, so start reviewing articles! Visit the
drive's page and help out!
This drive was organized by GrooveDog in an attempt to terminate that nasty backlog.

Greetings. There is going to be a Washington DC Wikipedia meetup on next Saturday, July 21st at 5pm in DC. Since you are listed in Category:Wikipedians_in_Maryland, I thought I'd invite you to come. I'm sorry about the short notice for the meeting. Hopefully we'll do somewhat better in that regard next time. If you can't come but want to make sure that you are informed of future meetings be sure to list yourself under "but let me know about future events", and if you don't want to get any future direct notices \(like this one\), you can list yourself under "I'm not interested in attending any others either" on the DC meetup page.-- Gmaxwell 00:27, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
GA holds are for no more than seven days. This article needs to be checked to see if issues were addressed bringing the article up to standards. If so, it needs to be listed. If not, it needs to be removed from GAC. Regards, Lara Love 04:49, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
Sorry to publicdomain-ify your image, I forgot that I can't actually release someone else's work! Sorry again! =P GrooveDog ( talk) 03:00, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

I'm going to add it to the BarnStar/Awards wikipedia pages as a template. First though, if you can replace it with a "sharper" version with no compression artifacts it would make for a better image. davidwr/( talk)/( contribs)/( e-mail) 16:51, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

While it may be an joke to you, I as well as others are committed to guidelines listed. We follow them and promote them throughout all social groups to create a better community for all. I invite you to schedule a time with the founding members to help make this a suitable article. While it may not be history yet, current events are indeed added to this wiki on a daily basis as you well know. Some maybe childish editing by some users, others hold a high regard to what is posted. If this posting is not accurate by the wiki standards, I assure you this is most definitely factual. Once again we wish to be a part of written history and keep an accurate account of it. Questions can be answered via the email posted on the article, or by messaging the group on one of the community driven sites.
Thanks,

We are one week in to the drive, and it's already going fantastic. Numerous days of backlogs have been tackled, with hundreds of articles having been reviewed. We do, however, have some news!
First off, a HUGE congratulations to everyone participating so far. I understand some members are inactive due to vacation, but we are still making great progress.
Secondly, make sure that before you go off and review old submissions, that you review all submissions for the present day, and the day before, so that we aren't actually making a bigger backlog, by letting submissions get archived while we're checking stuff from 2006.
Third, remember to update your running total, on the drive page. Honesty is the best policy, so if you lie about the number of articles you've reviewed, we'll all make angry faces while looking at your userpage.
And, last, if you have any questions about the drive, feel free to ask me, or any other members of the project.
Great job, everyone! We're going to get that backlog!

I clearly made my point that I consider Oscar to be notable based on the NEJM article, given that NEJM is more prestigious than your average local newspaper. I'm sorry that you cannot tell the difference between humor and seriousness. Then again, I did not take your comment seriously that articles are deleted based on consensus; I've been around Wikipedia long enough to know better. Quidam65 03:23, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
thanks for the tip about too much text in the debate...i'm not exactly sure as to how to proceed or how i need to approach contesting the proposed deletion- so i'm just trying to put all the info out there that i can think of..... your guidance is appreciated. Zena0727 04:02, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
Those are the most commonly referenced policies and guidelines during AfD debates, and the ones that I think most apply here. I've seen that you've done some work on the article already - good work - but it's still got a ways to go. Writing an article is hard work. If you take care to stay within those policies, you should be ok. If the article does get deleted (and I do still support deletion the way the article is currently written), I'd recommend making a subpage of your user page to draft up a new version. Before posting it, though, take your time on it and have a few editors look it over to make sure it meets our guidelines. If it does, you'll probably need an administrator to help you create it at that point, but it probably won't be put up for deletion. Good luck, and good night.
