Just a friendly note - the template that you included on User talk:Phantomsteve is usually meant to notify the original author of the article only, not other editors who have commented on it. I know Phantomsteve's talk page can get pretty full, so (per WP:DTTR) you may want to consider removing the templated deletion warning and just leave your notes about the deletion nomination there.

Hi Josh,
Just a suggestion, but could you tackle the copy edit on this article? It has been languishing in the copy edit queue since October 2007. I have not the computer lingo to bring it up to a standard where the average reader could glean any meaning from it. Regards, --

I saw your name over at LOCE. Do you have time to help out with copyediting on the article Electric Mud? ( Ibaranoff24 ( talk) 00:50, 21 January 2010 (UTC))
Hi there, I'm just leaving you notice that I've removed the proposed deletion template from the above article, because PROD is supposed to be used for uncontroversial, uncontested deletions. It's pretty clear from the talk page discussion that the author of the article is opposed to deletion. Whether or not he has a COI, or is even actively editing Wikipedia, if any editor objects to the deletion in good faith then proposed deletion can't continue. However, you can still nominate the article at AfD. Thank you. -- Atama 頭 00:09, 23 January 2010 (UTC)
An editor has nominated 15 Minutes (novel), an article which you have created or worked on, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also " What Wikipedia is not").
Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/15 Minutes (novel) and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).
You may also edit the article during the discussion to address the nominator's concerns but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. Drmies ( talk) 17:25, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

I did think about removing it but I didn't because I did a poor 5 second job with it and it still doesn't fix some of the faults in the article like the close copyvio that you pointed out. It does technically fix the problem asserted by the delete reason I suppose so I could remove it but I'm going to take a wait and see approach. -- Sin Harvest ( talk) 00:02, 26 March 2010 (UTC)
Editors, here, seem to be personal - or somekind of failed dictators . They delete articles before they know what is about. There is a list of business networks in Wikipedia - most of them useless and some of them they don't exist anymore and when I tried to add Skillipedia.com business network they accused me of advertising. If so how they have approved all this list: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_networking_websites
Or may be this website, http://www.playboy.com/, listed there is a social network for professional ... to get laid: top content for top wiki !

Joshua Scott, my edits to FASTER THAN LIGHT are not vandalism. In fact, it is the people reverting it back who are committing vandalism. And I note that most of them have just reverted it back with no explanation and not even an attempt at justification! Although special relativity is often misunderstood, it is an EXPLANATION of how the universe is. There is no mechanism in SR that would actually STOP one from accelerating greater than c. And there is, given the vastness of the universe, many points of view where speeds can be measured and would be less than c, but there are many other points of view (which we cannot measure or see directly) where a logical speed greater than c can be inferred. No one framework is more valid than another. There is no one absolute framework. It is indeed all relative. 216.239.82.80 ( talk) 04:23, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

You ask on my talk page...
To reply... No, you have my intent backwards (but I can see how you were confused)... small groups are closer to (if not the same as) being individual living people, so more care is needed when making statements about small groups than when making statements about large ones. I have edited the paragraph to (hopefully) make this clearer. Blueboar ( talk) 13:05, 9 May 2010 (UTC)
Help!! I notice on one article that i just tagged, that the {{ BLP IMDB refimprove}} and {{ BLP IMDB-only refimprove}} tags, are not being applied sometimes when I thot they would be, namely when an article has multiple issues covered by {{ Multiple issues}}. I didn't understand how the Multiple issues template was supposed to display, thot maybe it just displayed the first issues in a list, so i didn't think anything was wrong, when AWB accpeted previous use of Multiple issues template or imposed new use because several tags were present. Somehow now it clicked for me that Multiple issues template was just ignoring these new tags.
I had blindly assumed that the Multiple issues template programming was smart, and would accept an entry like "BLP IMDB refimprove=May 2010" or "BLP IMDB-only refimprove=May 2010", just as it already accepted "BLP refimprove=May 2010". Not correct. So for example this edit by me removed an article from BLP unreferenced, but did not put it into BLP IMDB-only refimprove as i wished. In fact it showed no message relating to BLP refimprove at all, and it did not add the article to Category:Articles sourced only by IMDB. And an article getting BLP IMDB refimprove within the Multiple issues template likewise would not add it to Category:Articles sourced by IMDB. (Those categories i added successfully to the templates.)
What needs to be done is to edit Template:Multiple issues. The template has a sandbox version and a testcases. I edited the testcases, but changing the actual code in the sandbox is bogging me down. What needs to be done is to add 2 sections very much like the section implementing BLP refimprove, just after it. To handle these two cases.
Note, going forward i could avoid use of Multiple issues template, and just add a BLP IMDB refimprove tag separately from that. But, I already did put several hundred inside the Multiple issues template. (Estimated by 1014 cumulative IMDB zapping edits tracked by me at User:Doncram/IMDBzap, minus 174 now showing in IMDB-only category, minus 573 showing in IMDB category, minus some but not too many articles fixed by other editors ). I see no easy way to go back and find these to manually edit them. So think it would be best to just get the Template:Multiple issues adjusted now.
Would it be easier for you / possible for you to do that? :) I would be grateful! Help! -- doncram ( talk) 04:02, 10 May 2010 (UTC)
Wikipedia is full of articles of people known for one event. I don't seek to delete them. However, we are making a mockery of ourselves. That's why a policy that reflects actual practice might be better. BLP1E makes a reference to the main article which discusses reasons to include or exclude people and does so in a neutral fashion. The BLP1E section tends to be written in a deletionist way.
There is the decision whether to force Wikipedia to comply with the policy or have a policy that can be adhered to. That is not my decision or your decision to make.
Without picking on certain articles, there are many, many articles on people who are not very famous that are known for only one thing. The easiest way is to just leave the articles alone and use language such as.....
When an individual is significant for their role in a single event, it may be unclear whether an article should be written about the individual, the event or both. In considering whether or not to create separate articles, the degree of significance of the event itself and the degree of significance of the individual's role within it should be considered. The general rule in many cases is to cover the event, not the person. However, as both the event and the individual's role grow larger, separate articles become justified.
If the event is highly significant, and the individual's role within it is a large one, a separate article is generally appropriate. When the role played by an individual in the event is less significant, an independent article may not be needed, and a redirect is appropriate. On the other hand, if an event is of sufficient importance.
Another issue arises when an individual plays a major role in a minor event. In this case, it is not generally appropriate to have an article on both the person and the event. Generally in this case, the name of the person should redirect to the article on the incident. In some cases, however, a person famous for only one event may be more widely known than the event itself. In such cases, the article about the event may be most appropriately named for the person involved.

This guy is still spamming his blog site to other articles, despite your warnings. He keeps calling my reverts and warnings "revenge" edits (he has some serious issues, if his website is any indication). As he claimed to "understand" your warning about his spamming on one page, perhaps you can clarify for him that it is not appropriate on any article, not just that one? I've asked User:The Rambling Man to take a look at his actions as well, as I'm getting really tired of his bad faith personal attacks and he doesn't seem to have any actual desire to be productive here other than his one cleaning of the Beyonce article. I've already left him a final warning, but his responses show he has no intention of changing. -- AnmaFinotera ( talk · contribs) 15:36, 28 May 2010 (UTC)

Hi. I noted your addition to the BLP policy page to the effect that the BLP policy will apply to an individual who would be less than 123 years old, unless there is reliable proof of death.

Right now, editors are considering all the subject specific guidelines as a way around the GNG. This isn't a problem with the wording of your new proposed guideline, it's a fundamental problem with the way that subject-specific notability is handled right now. Here are some examples:
The entire point of the subject-specific guidelines is to allow these unverifiable biographies to continue to exist. If there were sources upon which to build a verifiable article, then it should be pretty easy to demonstrate that the person meets the GNG. It is for this reason I will oppose all subject-specific guidelines as long as they supersede the GNG and WP:N. Gigs ( talk) 14:22, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

You could highlight the article name in yellow, or something like that. I don't know how difficult that would be to do. — Bruce1ee talk 09:43, 15 July 2010 (UTC)
I always enjoy it when I discover a new book of interest. That Patrick Conley "Bill of Rights" book is a new one to me, good find! I just sent away for a personal copy. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. SaltyBoatr get wet 16:57, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

Hi, I noticed you managed to add a link to the above site from the Bobby Browne (footballer born 1912) article. Did you have any problems adding the link, or did you have to make a specific whitelist request, as you will see from [3] I was trying to get it unblocked (unsuccesfully at the time). Regards.

Greetings from the
Guild of Copy Editors
July 2010 Backlog Elimination Drive. Thanks to all who participated in the drive! Over 100 editors—including
Jimbo Wales—signed up this time (nearly triple the participants of the May drive). This benefited the Guild as well as the articles in need of copy editing. You can see from the comparison graphs that we increased the number of completed copyedits substantially. Unfortunately, we were not able to meet our goal of completely wiping out 2008 from the queue. We also were not able to reduce the backlog to less than 6,000 articles. We suspect people were busy with real life summertime things, at least in the northern hemisphere! We were able to remove the months of January, February, March, April, and May from the backlog, and we almost wiped out the month of June. We reduced the backlog by 1,289 articles (17%), so all in all it was a very successful drive, and we will be holding another event soon. We'll come up with some new ideas to try to keep things fresh and interesting. Keep up the good work, everybody!

I have been trying to gether information to create a wikipedia page for a xbox employee that seemed to have her name/page flagged for deletion. I have tried to read over the steps to try and get this fixed but I am new to wikipedia and confused. One page told me to contact a person that has deleted the page to to and get it resolved.
Laura Massey - Software Development Engineer in Test on the Xbox 360 ( http://www.xbox.com/en-US/Live/EngineeringBlog/Home_ , Co-host of "Major Nelson Radio" podcast ( http://majornelson.com/default.aspx)
In a deletion thread, I saw something about credit source or info needed, not just because she is popular.

If you do a search on wikipedia for Laura Massey you get the guy who runs the podcast she co-host.

In his article he has a section called PodCast, in that it list the other host but not her.

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!

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) |

I'm having problem with two of my scripts. I installed both TheJosh's New Page Patroller script and your Pending Changes script, and they both worked side by side. A few months ago, I broke my laptop, and so had to borrow one for a while, which I didn't go on Wikipedia much during that time. Recently, I've downloaded Chrome onto this laptop (which I had used on my old laptop as well), and have used WP more recently. However I've noticed that both scripts have stopped working. It sort of alternates between showing the NP tool and the PC tool, but whatever it is showing, the tool doesn't work (it doesn't show any changes when I expand it). If you know what the problem is, or if you can redirect me to someone who might, then please tell me.

I've had to decline this. My understanding of the current consensus on the placement of BLPPRODs is at [{WP:BLPPROD#Nominating]], and it requires there be pretty much "no links whatsoever" at tag placement time. A higher threshold, strangely enough, is required to remove the sticky prod from an article once validly placed. I've got no issue with this being taken to regular PROD or AfD.

I invite you to the yearly Berlin hackathon, 1-3 June. Registration is now open. If you need financial assistance or help with visa or hotel, then please register by May 1st and mention it in the registration form.
This is the premier event for the MediaWiki and Wikimedia technical community. We'll be hacking, designing, teaching, and socialising, primarily talking about ResourceLoader and Gadgets ( extending functionality with JavaScript), the switch to Lua for templates, Wikidata, and Wikimedia Labs.
We want to bring 100-150 people together, including lots of people who have not attended such events before. User scripts, gadgets, API use, Toolserver, Wikimedia Labs, mobile, structured data, templates -- if you are into any of these things, we want you to come!
I also thought you might want to know about other upcoming events where you can learn more about MediaWiki customization and development, how to best use the web API for bots, and various upcoming features and changes. We'd love to have power users, bot maintainers and writers, and template makers at these events so we can all learn from each other and chat about what needs doing.
Check out the the developers' days preceding Wikimania in July in Washington, DC and our other events.
Best wishes! - Sumana Harihareswara, Wikimedia Foundation's Volunteer Development Coordinator. Please reply on my talk page, here or at mediawiki.org. Sumana Harihareswara, Wikimedia Foundation Volunteer Development Coordinator 20:09, 2 April 2012 (UTC)

I saw your name over at LOCE. Do you have time to help out with copyediting on the article Electric Mud? ( Ibaranoff24 ( talk) 00:50, 21 January 2010 (UTC))
Hi there, I'm just leaving you notice that I've removed the proposed deletion template from the above article, because PROD is supposed to be used for uncontroversial, uncontested deletions. It's pretty clear from the talk page discussion that the author of the article is opposed to deletion. Whether or not he has a COI, or is even actively editing Wikipedia, if any editor objects to the deletion in good faith then proposed deletion can't continue. However, you can still nominate the article at AfD. Thank you. -- Atama 頭 00:09, 23 January 2010 (UTC)
An editor has nominated 15 Minutes (novel), an article which you have created or worked on, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also " What Wikipedia is not").
Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/15 Minutes (novel) and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).
You may also edit the article during the discussion to address the nominator's concerns but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. Drmies ( talk) 17:25, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

I did think about removing it but I didn't because I did a poor 5 second job with it and it still doesn't fix some of the faults in the article like the close copyvio that you pointed out. It does technically fix the problem asserted by the delete reason I suppose so I could remove it but I'm going to take a wait and see approach. -- Sin Harvest ( talk) 00:02, 26 March 2010 (UTC)
Editors, here, seem to be personal - or somekind of failed dictators . They delete articles before they know what is about. There is a list of business networks in Wikipedia - most of them useless and some of them they don't exist anymore and when I tried to add Skillipedia.com business network they accused me of advertising. If so how they have approved all this list: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_networking_websites

Joshua Scott, my edits to FASTER THAN LIGHT are not vandalism. In fact, it is the people reverting it back who are committing vandalism. And I note that most of them have just reverted it back with no explanation and not even an attempt at justification! Although special relativity is often misunderstood, it is an EXPLANATION of how the universe is. There is no mechanism in SR that would actually STOP one from accelerating greater than c. And there is, given the vastness of the universe, many points of view where speeds can be measured and would be less than c, but there are many other points of view (which we cannot measure or see directly) where a logical speed greater than c can be inferred. No one framework is more valid than another. There is no one absolute framework. It is indeed all relative. 216.239.82.80 ( talk) 04:23, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

Help!! I notice on one article that i just tagged, that the {{ BLP IMDB refimprove}} and {{ BLP IMDB-only refimprove}} tags, are not being applied sometimes when I thot they would be, namely when an article has multiple issues covered by {{ Multiple issues}}. I didn't understand how the Multiple issues template was supposed to display, thot maybe it just displayed the first issues in a list, so i didn't think anything was wrong, when AWB accpeted previous use of Multiple issues template or imposed new use because several tags were present. Somehow now it clicked for me that Multiple issues template was just ignoring these new tags.
I had blindly assumed that the Multiple issues template programming was smart, and would accept an entry like "BLP IMDB refimprove=May 2010" or "BLP IMDB-only refimprove=May 2010", just as it already accepted "BLP refimprove=May 2010". Not correct. So for example this edit by me removed an article from BLP unreferenced, but did not put it into BLP IMDB-only refimprove as i wished. In fact it showed no message relating to BLP refimprove at all, and it did not add the article to Category:Articles sourced only by IMDB. And an article getting BLP IMDB refimprove within the Multiple issues template likewise would not add it to Category:Articles sourced by IMDB. (Those categories i added successfully to the templates.)
What needs to be done is to edit Template:Multiple issues. The template has a sandbox version and a testcases. I edited the testcases, but changing the actual code in the sandbox is bogging me down. What needs to be done is to add 2 sections very much like the section implementing BLP refimprove, just after it. To handle these two cases.
Note, going forward i could avoid use of Multiple issues template, and just add a BLP IMDB refimprove tag separately from that. But, I already did put several hundred inside the Multiple issues template. (Estimated by 1014 cumulative IMDB zapping edits tracked by me at User:Doncram/IMDBzap, minus 174 now showing in IMDB-only category, minus 573 showing in IMDB category, minus some but not too many articles fixed by other editors ). I see no easy way to go back and find these to manually edit them. So think it would be best to just get the Template:Multiple issues adjusted now.
Would it be easier for you / possible for you to do that? :) I would be grateful! Help! -- doncram ( talk) 04:02, 10 May 2010 (UTC)
Wikipedia is full of articles of people known for one event. I don't seek to delete them. However, we are making a mockery of ourselves. That's why a policy that reflects actual practice might be better. BLP1E makes a reference to the main article which discusses reasons to include or exclude people and does so in a neutral fashion. The BLP1E section tends to be written in a deletionist way.
There is the decision whether to force Wikipedia to comply with the policy or have a policy that can be adhered to. That is not my decision or your decision to make.
Without picking on certain articles, there are many, many articles on people who are not very famous that are known for only one thing. The easiest way is to just leave the articles alone and use language such as.....
When an individual is significant for their role in a single event, it may be unclear whether an article should be written about the individual, the event or both. In considering whether or not to create separate articles, the degree of significance of the event itself and the degree of significance of the individual's role within it should be considered. The general rule in many cases is to cover the event, not the person. However, as both the event and the individual's role grow larger, separate articles become justified.
If the event is highly significant, and the individual's role within it is a large one, a separate article is generally appropriate. When the role played by an individual in the event is less significant, an independent article may not be needed, and a redirect is appropriate. On the other hand, if an event is of sufficient importance.
Another issue arises when an individual plays a major role in a minor event. In this case, it is not generally appropriate to have an article on both the person and the event. Generally in this case, the name of the person should redirect to the article on the incident. In some cases, however, a person famous for only one event may be more widely known than the event itself. In such cases, the article about the event may be most appropriately named for the person involved.

This guy is still spamming his blog site to other articles, despite your warnings. He keeps calling my reverts and warnings "revenge" edits (he has some serious issues, if his website is any indication). As he claimed to "understand" your warning about his spamming on one page, perhaps you can clarify for him that it is not appropriate on any article, not just that one? I've asked User:The Rambling Man to take a look at his actions as well, as I'm getting really tired of his bad faith personal attacks and he doesn't seem to have any actual desire to be productive here other than his one cleaning of the Beyonce article. I've already left him a final warning, but his responses show he has no intention of changing. -- AnmaFinotera ( talk · contribs) 15:36, 28 May 2010 (UTC)

Right now, editors are considering all the subject specific guidelines as a way around the GNG. This isn't a problem with the wording of your new proposed guideline, it's a fundamental problem with the way that subject-specific notability is handled right now. Here are some examples:
The entire point of the subject-specific guidelines is to allow these unverifiable biographies to continue to exist. If there were sources upon which to build a verifiable article, then it should be pretty easy to demonstrate that the person meets the GNG. It is for this reason I will oppose all subject-specific guidelines as long as they supersede the GNG and WP:N. Gigs ( talk) 14:22, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

Greetings from the
Guild of Copy Editors
July 2010 Backlog Elimination Drive. Thanks to all who participated in the drive! Over 100 editors—including
Jimbo Wales—signed up this time (nearly triple the participants of the May drive). This benefited the Guild as well as the articles in need of copy editing. You can see from the comparison graphs that we increased the number of completed copyedits substantially. Unfortunately, we were not able to meet our goal of completely wiping out 2008 from the queue. We also were not able to reduce the backlog to less than 6,000 articles. We suspect people were busy with real life summertime things, at least in the northern hemisphere! We were able to remove the months of January, February, March, April, and May from the backlog, and we almost wiped out the month of June. We reduced the backlog by 1,289 articles (17%), so all in all it was a very successful drive, and we will be holding another event soon. We'll come up with some new ideas to try to keep things fresh and interesting. Keep up the good work, everybody!

I posted a question for you at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Saul_Landau#Neutrality Alden Loveshade ( talk) 03:21, 3 October 2010 (UTC)
I have been trying to gether information to create a wikipedia page for a xbox employee that seemed to have her name/page flagged for deletion. I have tried to read over the steps to try and get this fixed but I am new to wikipedia and confused. One page told me to contact a person that has deleted the page to to and get it resolved.
Laura Massey - Software Development Engineer in Test on the Xbox 360 ( http://www.xbox.com/en-US/Live/EngineeringBlog/Home_ , Co-host of "Major Nelson Radio" podcast ( http://majornelson.com/default.aspx)
In a deletion thread, I saw something about credit source or info needed, not just because she is popular.

If you do a search on wikipedia for Laura Massey you get the guy who runs the podcast she co-host.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larry_Hryb
In his article he has a section called PodCast, in that it list the other host but not her.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Toulouse http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Neustadter
Here is the post she made when they created the section on the website for engineering blogs
http://www.xbox.com/en-US/Live/EngineeringBlog/011310-Welcome
I don't know what info you would need to show shes a important person in the xbox 360 community. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gregsteimel ( talk • contribs) 17:24, 26 October 2010 (UTC) -- Gregsteimel ( talk) 18:52, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

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!

Backlog Elimination Drive!
We have reached the end of our fourth backlog elimination drive. Thanks to all who participated. Stats ![]()
Barnstars If you copy edited at least 4,000 words, you qualify for a barnstar. If you participated in the September 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 these barnstars within the next couple of weeks. Our next drive is scheduled for January 2011. In the meantime, please consider helping out at the Wikification drive or any of the other places where help with backlogs is needed. Thank you for participating in the last 2010 backlog elimination drive! We look forward to seeing you in January!

Guild of Copy Editors January 2011 backlog elimination drive
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) |

I'm having problem with two of my scripts. I installed both TheJosh's New Page Patroller script and your Pending Changes script, and they both worked side by side. A few months ago, I broke my laptop, and so had to borrow one for a while, which I didn't go on Wikipedia much during that time. Recently, I've downloaded Chrome onto this laptop (which I had used on my old laptop as well), and have used WP more recently. However I've noticed that both scripts have stopped working. It sort of alternates between showing the NP tool and the PC tool, but whatever it is showing, the tool doesn't work (it doesn't show any changes when I expand it). If you know what the problem is, or if you can redirect me to someone who might, then please tell me. Thanks :) -- Imagine Wizard ( talk • contribs • count) Iway amway Imagineway Izardway. 15:06, 13 March 2011 (UTC)
I've had to decline this. My understanding of the current consensus on the placement of BLPPRODs is at [{WP:BLPPROD#Nominating]], and it requires there be pretty much "no links whatsoever" at tag placement time. A higher threshold, strangely enough, is required to remove the sticky prod from an article once validly placed. I've got no issue with this being taken to regular PROD or AfD.

The latest GOCE backlog elimination drive is under way! It began on 1 July and so far 18 people have signed up to help us reduce the number of articles in need of copyediting. This drive will give a 50% bonus for articles edited from the GOCE requests page. Although we have cleared the backlog of 2009 articles there are still 3,935 articles needing copyediting and any help, no matter how small, would be appreciated. We are appealing to all GOCE members, and any other editors who wish to participate, to come and help us reduce the number of articles needing copyediting, as well as the backlog of requests. If you have not signed up yet, why not take a look at the current signatories and help us by adding your name and copyediting a few articles. Barnstars will be given to anyone who edits more than 4,000 words, with special awards for the top 5 in the categories: "Number of articles", "Number of words", and "Number of articles of over 5,000 words". |

I invite you to the yearly Berlin hackathon, 1-3 June. Registration is now open. If you need financial assistance or help with visa or hotel, then please register by May 1st and mention it in the registration form.
This is the premier event for the MediaWiki and Wikimedia technical community. We'll be hacking, designing, teaching, and socialising, primarily talking about ResourceLoader and Gadgets ( extending functionality with JavaScript), the switch to Lua for templates, Wikidata, and Wikimedia Labs.
We want to bring 100-150 people together, including lots of people who have not attended such events before. User scripts, gadgets, API use, Toolserver, Wikimedia Labs, mobile, structured data, templates -- if you are into any of these things, we want you to come!
I also thought you might want to know about other upcoming events where you can learn more about MediaWiki customization and development, how to best use the web API for bots, and various upcoming features and changes. We'd love to have power users, bot maintainers and writers, and template makers at these events so we can all learn from each other and chat about what needs doing.
Check out the the developers' days preceding Wikimania in July in Washington, DC and our other events.
Best wishes! - Sumana Harihareswara, Wikimedia Foundation's Volunteer Development Coordinator. Please reply on my talk page, here or at mediawiki.org. Sumana Harihareswara, Wikimedia Foundation Volunteer Development Coordinator 20:09, 2 April 2012 (UTC)
