Starting from somewhere else entirely, I came across Leyla Yunus's article today, which was in miserable shape. I've expanded it from the 6-tag(!) version I found it in a few hours ago, but more would be welcome if you have any additional sources; I figured it might overlap nicely with what you're working on with the forced evictions. Feel free to give it another DYK nom, too, if you end up adding enough to push it over the minimum requirements. Khazar2 ( talk) 05:03, 19 August 2012 (UTC)
Thanks, but it doesn't seem like bureaucratic tasks are really backlogged. That and I haven't exactly trusted that process in some time, so I'd rather not go through that again. Wizardman Operation Big Bear 15:18, 21 August 2012 (UTC)
I have no problem at all with the moving of the RfA voting records subpage or a portion thereof. Many of the pages in The NoSeptember Admin Project are years out of date because I was the primary updater of the pages. A page that has been brought up to date is certainly a good candidate for a move, but if the page gets out of date again, it should be moved back to my user space, since sooner or later someone will decide to mark the page as "historical" or delete it otherwise. You are somewhat taking on a commitment to keep the page updated to the extent others don't come along to help with this task. I know other editors did that for several years after I stopped work on this page, but I also note that in the three years before you started your 2012 edits there were only two edits to the page. Look through the others pages in the project to see if they are of interest to you too. Many pages are out of date but are still a good record of the early years of Wikipedia history. Cheers and Good Luck, NoSeptember 14:16, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
Hello, Kurtis. We are in the early stages of initiating a project to plan, gain consensus on, and coordinate adding a feature to the main page wherein an article will be listed daily for collaborative improvement. If you're interested in participating, please add your name to the list of members. |
Happy editing! Automatic Strikeout 21:28, 25 August 2012 (UTC)
Hi Kurtis!
I totally get why the "bulky" quotes were removed from the citations in Forced evictions in Baku. Great job!
More out of curiosity than anything else, why was the external link eliminated? Just wondering.-- CaroleHenson ( talk) 19:29, 27 August 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for being an early supporter in my successful RfA. I look forward to maintaining your trust in me.— Bagumba ( talk) 23:49, 27 August 2012 (UTC)0

The Military history WikiProject has started its 2012 project coordinator election process, where we will select a team of coordinators to organize the project over the coming year. If you would like to be considered as a candidate, please submit your nomination by 14 September. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact one of the current coordinators on their talk page.

I remember writing that I'd ping you and A1234 in case you were interested when I started revising Geoffrey Nyarota; well, the process has begun. Feel free to drop in if you get a chance, Khazar2 ( talk) 13:09, 12 September 2012 (UTC)
Seems to be a shortage of people willing to close RfCs, and they are piling up. Most don't require an admin, just someone with good common sense, solid experience and an ability to judge consensus. You certainly qualify. Please consider helping out by closing one or two a week. This is good experience, it helps the admins out, and provides a means to judge your ability later on.

Hi. I think you really do need to resist this kind of temptation because 1). We don't improve other editor's comments for them, and 2). we do not edit closed discussions. Happy editing! Kudpung กุดผึ้ง ( talk) 06:27, 24 September 2012 (UTC)
Don't worry about it; I wouldn't run for at least another year and change. I've only been an admin for about 10 months now, and I want to have at least a couple years of experience as an admin before doing anything at an RfB. December 2013 at the absolute earliest. Incidentally, as I've said at Sigma's RfA, trolling and farting around is what one is supposed to do at ED. I'm not sure why people didn't pick up on that, given how many Wikipedia users go over to ED on occasion. The Blade of the Northern Lights ( 話して下さい) 14:36, 8 October 2012 (UTC)

I am sorry to read that you have personal issues, I don't want to increase them. - I came to ask you to look a little more closely, regarding your comment. When do you date "lately"? I described the talk page as one of the better ones I know. I once started to count the number of thanks, stopping at 100. I like this barnstar especially, -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 21:57, 15 October 2012 (UTC)
Thank you for taking the time to participate in my RfA. I hope that I will be able to improve based on the feedback I received and become a better editor. Automatic Strikeout 22:43, 16 October 2012 (UTC)
Thank you for your support at my RfA, and your willingness to trust me even though we might not agree on several issues. What positions are you referring to with regard to BLP though? I never thought that I had a particularly radical viewpoint one way or the other when it comes to our BLP policy. Gigs ( talk) 22:42, 17 October 2012 (UTC)
