Hi Perseus8235, Firstly, thanks so much for putting the requests for the copy editing of the Percy Jackson series at WP:GOCE/REQ. I've really enjoyed reading and copy editing these articles. Obviously, our copy editors work on these to help out, and not for barnstars. But since you are giving them out, can I ask you to consider giving those that our copy editors do not already have, such as {{ Children's Literature Barnstar}} or {{ The Writer's Barnstar}}? Thanks again, and I'll try to do more on this series as I really enjoy them. Cheers, and keep up the good work! – SMasters ( talk) 15:33, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

Greetings from the
Guild of Copy Editors !
Dear Perseus8235, a very warm welcome to the Guild of Copy Editors. We are pleased to have you join us! To start, you may want to copy edit an article from our Requests page, or pick one from our backlog. If you need any assistance, feel free to leave a note on our talk page, or you can contact any of our coordinators. If you are new to copy editing, you may want to join our Mentorship program. Below, you will find list of useful links for your convenience. Thanks again for joining the Guild, and do make yourself at home. – Your GOCE coordinators: SMasters ( talk), Diannaa ( Talk), The Utahraptor Talk to me, and Tea with toast ( talk) |
Hey. You seem to have supported this candidate, then later opposed - and immediately struck your oppose instead of your support. Just wanted to make sure you struck the correct vote, as it confused me for a sec there. Thanks! UltraExactZZ Said ~ Did 16:07, 16 February 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for fixing it. The reason there were fewer articles in there is because not all of the articles were promoted to GA this year, so I wasn't sure how points got counted and whatnot. --♫ Hurricanehink ( talk) 16:34, 16 February 2011 (UTC)
How about you cut down the userpage deletion requests to a dull roar of maybe one a week? Just saying that admins probably have better things to be doing with their time than deleting your userpage. Syrthiss ( talk) 18:31, 18 February 2011 (UTC)
You tagged 24.171.151.102 ( talk · contribs · info · WHOIS) as a sockpuppet of Access Denied. The IP made only three edits. Access Denied created his account in May 2010; the IP made its first edit in March. What evidence do you have to substantiate your claim that this is a sockpuppet of Access Denied? ( This is not evidence). You can't go around capriciously tagging vandalizing IPs as socks of Access Denied. Explain yourself. Goodvac ( talk) 19:27, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

The Featured Sound Main Page Proposal Voter Barnstar | ||
I was truly humbled by the overwhelming community support for the recent proposal to place featured sounds on the main page. The proposal closed on Tuesday with 57 people in support and only 2 in opposition. It should take a few weeks for everything to get coded and tested, and once that is done the community will be presented with a mock up to assess on aesthetic appeal. Finally, I invite all of you to participate in the featured sounds process itself. Whether you're a performer, an uploader, or just come across a sound file you find top quality, and that meets the featured sound criteria, you can nominate it at Wikipedia:Featured sound candidates. Featured sounds is also looking for people to help assess candidates (also at Wikipedia:Featured sound candidates.)
Thanks again for such a strong showing of support, and I hope to see you at featured sounds in the future. |
Hello Perseus8235, I was just curious as to why you are performing a cleanstart. I didn't see anything particularly concerning that would warrant one. Alpha Quadrant talk 23:58, 24 February 2011 (UTC)
Indeed, continuing to edit in a previously-used account isn't a WP:CLEANSTART anyway. Frank | talk 01:53, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
So begins round two of the WikiCup! We now have eight pools, each with eight random contestants. This round will continue until the end of April, when the top two of each pool, as well as the next 16 highest scorers of those remaining, will make it to round three. Congratulations to The Bushranger ( submissions) (first, with 487 points) and Hurricanehink ( submissions) (second, with 459), who stormed the first round. Casliber ( submissions) finished third with 223. Twelve others finished with over 100 points- well done to all of you! The final standings in round one can be seen here. A mere 8 points were required to reach round two; competition will no doubt be much more fierce this round, so be ready for a challenge! A special thanks goes, again, to Jarry1250 ( submissions) for dealing with all bot work. This year's bot, as well as running smoothly, is doing some very helpful things that last year's did not. Also, thanks to Stone ( submissions) for some helpful behind-the-scenes updating and number crunching.
Some news for those who are interested- March will see a GAN backlog elimination drive, which you are still free to join. Organised by WikiProject Good articles, the drive aims to minimise the GAN backlog and offers prizes to those who help out. Of course, you may well be able to claim WikiCup points for the articles you review as part of the drive. Also ongoing is the Great Backlog Drive, looking to work on clearing all of the backlogs on Wikipedia; again, incentives are offered, and the spirit of friendly competition is alive, while helping the encyclopedia is the ultimate aim. Though unrelated to the WikiCup, these may well be of interest to some of you.
Just a reminder of the rules; if you have done significant work on content this year and it is promoted in this round, you may claim for it. Also, anything that was promoted after the end of round one but before the beginning of round two may be claimed for in round two. Details of the rules can be found on this page. For those interested in statistics, a running total of claims can be seen here, and a very interesting table of that information (along with the highest scorers in each category) can be seen here. 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.

Do you know why User talk:173.49.140.141 redirects to your talk, and if yes, then what that IP was trying to do with Wikipedia:Village pump (technical) (the edit was inserting a large chunk of code, which shouldn't be there and thus was filtered). Materialscientist ( talk) 14:01, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
Because I have noticed you commenting at the current RfC regarding Pending Changes, I wanted to invite you to the IRC channel for pending changes. If you are not customarily logged into the IRC, use this link. This under used resource can allow real time discussion at this particularly timely venture of the trial known as Pending Changes.

Also, thanks to Stone ( submissions) for some helpful behind-the-scenes updating and number crunching.
Some news for those who are interested- March will see a GAN backlog elimination drive, which you are still free to join. Organised by WikiProject Good articles, the drive aims to minimise the GAN backlog and offers prizes to those who help out. Of course, you may well be able to claim WikiCup points for the articles you review as part of the drive. Also ongoing is the Great Backlog Drive, looking to work on clearing all of the backlogs on Wikipedia; again, incentives are offered, and the spirit of friendly competition is alive, while helping the encyclopedia is the ultimate aim. Though unrelated to the WikiCup, these may well be of interest to some of you.
Just a reminder of the rules; if you have done significant work on content this year and it is promoted in this round, you may claim for it. Also, anything that was promoted after the end of round one but before the beginning of round two may be claimed for in round two. Details of the rules can be found on this page. For those interested in statistics, a running total of claims can be seen here, and a very interesting table of that information (along with the highest scorers in each category) can be seen here. 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.

Do you know why User talk:173.49.140.141 redirects to your talk, and if yes, then what that IP was trying to do with Wikipedia:Village pump (technical) (the edit was inserting a large chunk of code, which shouldn't be there and thus was filtered). Materialscientist ( talk) 14:01, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
Because I have noticed you commenting at the current RfC regarding Pending Changes, I wanted to invite you to the IRC channel for pending changes. If you are not customarily logged into the IRC, use this link. This under used resource can allow real time discussion at this particularly timely venture of the trial known as Pending Changes. Even if nothing can come from debating points there, at least this invitation is delivered with the best of intentions and good faith expectations. Kind regards. My76 Strat 09:02, 2 March 2011 (UTC)
After the recent series of accounts of yours which I have seen that, you have demonstrated a clear inability to control whatever account you use. As such, I have blocked you indefinitely for sock puppetry. Regards, – MuZemike 16:12, 4 March 2011 (UTC)

Please remember that you are WP:BLOCKed. I know you are trying to help, but by clogging up queues (such as {{ helpme}}), you are (still) being somewhat disruptive. Take a break. Frank | talk 18:17, 7 March 2011 (UTC)
You might want to keep your "notes for when I come back" in a textfile on your computer, rather than here. Suitably backed up, of course. -- Demiurge1000 ( talk) 14:59, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
