Just going by the quality scale here: Wikipedia:Version_1.0_Editorial_Team/Assessment#Quality_scale, I'd say that most of those articles you marked as stubs fit in the "C" or higher class. A sub is "Provides very little meaningful content; may be little more than a dictionary definition", while a "C" is "Considerable editing is needed to close gaps in content and address cleanup issues."

I appreciate your comments on Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Raintheone. In regards to your question on Mathewignash's talk page, this all started because admin BOZ posted on Jake's talk page, that he should take any problems with Raintheone to dispute resolution.
You can see here where he suggested that Cerebellum, Mathewignash and I be included, since we were all involved in the discussions with Raintheone. I was not canvasing for support, only trying to notify everyone involved, so that they could give their opinions on the matter one way or the other. Fortdj33 ( talk) 12:48, 21 April 2011 (UTC)
Just ignore them and report them. He's been marauding the Transformers wikiproject for months. He just exists to get a laugh from inciting people. Don't bother responding. Mathewignash ( talk) 13:20, 23 April 2011 (UTC)
Because of the edit conflict, the end of that discussion has become one big misunderstanding. If you are agreeable, I will revert this edit and remove my rather hasty response and your rejoinders. And I'll explain my "joke" here on your talk page. Scolaire ( talk) 10:30, 24 April 2011 (UTC)
The Guild of Copy Editors – May 2011 Backlog Elimination Drive The Guild of Copy Editors invite you to participate in the May 2011 Backlog Elimination Drive, a month-long effort to reduce the backlog of articles that require copy-editing.

The goals of this backlog elimination drive are to eliminate as many articles as possible from the 2009 backlog and to reduce the overall backlog by 15%. ! NEW ! In an effort to encourage the final elimination of all 2009 articles, we will be tracking them on the leaderboard for this drive. Awards and barnstars We look forward to meeting you on the drive!

As the deletion proposal has passd, I think we should decide what to do next, so I'v startd a discussion here. ~Asarlaí 17:39, 4 May 2011 (UTC)

Hi, amongst other names the user Sarah777 has referred to the union flag as an "excrescence". I think she is misusing the word, probably thinking it has something to do with excrement. Anyhow, where is the best place to report this behaviour? I looked at notice boards and there's an etiqutte one - is that correct or would the NPOV one be better?

Howdy Mabuska. I wonder if anyone has ever considered dividing that WikiProject into Wikipedia: WikiProject Ireland and Wikipedia: WikiProject Ireland (island). The former being concerned with only the republic. GoodDay ( talk) 01:47, 9 May 2011 (UTC)
Guild of Copy Editors May 2011 backlog elimination drive update
Greetings from the
Guild of Copy Editors
May 2011 Backlog elimination drive! Here is your mid-drive newsletter.
![]() So far, 54 people have signed up for the drive, and 33 are actively participating. If you signed up for the drive but have not 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 have not signed up for the drive yet, you can
sign up now. If you have questions about getting started, feel free to
talk to us. Many thanks to those editors who have been helping out at the
Requests page. We currently have 17 articles awaiting edit.
We are making slow progress on achieving our target of reducing the overall backlog by 15%; in order to accomplish this goal we will need to complete about 400 more articles. However, we are making good progress on the 2009 backlog, as we have eliminated over half of the articles from 2009 that were present at the start of the drive. Let's concentrate our fire power on the remaining months from 2009; leaderboard awards will be handed out for 2009 articles this drive. Thank you for participating in the May 2011 drive. We hope it will be another success! Your drive coordinators – S Masters ( talk), Diannaa ( Talk), Tea with toast, Chaosdruid, and Torchiest |

With regard to your comment here, please don't speak on my behalf. It's incivil at the very least and counter productive. Regardless of our differences in opinion, we can work as colleagues and with respect.
Comments such as that are not helpful and do not assume good faith. Could you please remove it or amend it to something else? --RA ( talk) 11:20, 18 May 2011 (UTC)
Howdy Mabuska. Had everyone adopted either of my 2 proposals 'months ago', there'd be no footnote to fight over. GoodDay ( talk) 23:48, 19 May 2011 (UTC)
