Since you've dealt with them before, how is the Senate Historical Office and their counterpart in the House (presumably there is one) about accepting image submissions? Recently, I've been tracking down a lot of Kentucky politician images in PD books, and I suspect many of the subjects are not illustrated in the Biographical Directory. Figure I could save them the trouble of tracking down those images and help them better illustrate the Guide if they're open to that kind of thing.

I've created templates for both the US Senate and US House for the changes in membership outline in the ordinal congresses. I noticed that there are a various iterations under different ordinals, this will make them all consistent when the template is applied. Then if anyone would like to make changes to the outline, all they would need to do is change the template, then all would be changed simultaneously and consistently for all congresses.

Elizabeth II will be the second longest reigning British monarch in over 1200 years on 12 May 2011. The length of time that the King of Thailand has reigned is not relevant, because he is not a British monarch. Reverting an edit on such a silly basis once might have been excusable, but twice shows that you're not bothering to think before hitting send. Would you be good enough to explain exactly you think that this information doesn't belong in the lead, whereas the Queen's annus horribilis in 1992 does. Rubywine ( talk) 06:13, 10 May 2011 (UTC)
Hi, I've reverted your update on File:Parliament2010UK.svg - this is a snapshot of the House of Commons at the time after the 2010 general election and should really remain static as such.
The File:UK Commons Current Composition.svg has been produced to reflect the dynamic changes in the composition of the House. You can update this one if you like (and the one with a key): I think it needs Gerry Adams and David Cairns removed, but McShane's suspension is included. I'll change the composition graphic in the House of Commons of the United Kingdom article infobox to the current one to match with the numbers. Cheers, Zangar ( talk) 10:00, 11 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 |

I was rather hoping I might get an apology from you for your entirely false claim on my talk page that I italicised "Transport for London" in Metropolitan line. That edit dates in fact from May 2009, long before I had anything to do with the article in question. This is a fact you could have checked in the edit history, but you chose instead to jump to conclusions and throw unfounded accusations. -- Alarics ( talk) 15:09, 19 May 2011 (UTC)
I know it's 26 May, but barely. I assume there will be a ceremony today to "install" (or something) him, and he will only be Justice from that time. Unless there's a source for midnight? Or for 0300 BST? Good night, Sir! D B D 02:12, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

It's a furitful debate we're having and I still hold the position that she is Shadow DPM.

Guild of Copy Editors May 2011 backlog elimination drive report
Greetings from the
Guild of Copy Editors
May 2011 Backlog elimination drive. Thank you for participating!
There were 63 signups for the drive; of these, 45 participated. Although we did not award a bonus for articles from the Requests page this drive, we are not experiencing lengthy delays in getting the articles processed. Many thanks to editors who have been helping out at the Requests page and by copy editing articles from the backlog.
During the month of May we reduced the backlog by approximately 10%, and made remarkable progress on eliminating articles tagged from 2009. There are now only 15 articles left, down from the 415 that were present when the drive started. Since our backlog drives began in May 2010 with 8,323 articles, we have cleared more than 54% of the backlog. A complete list of results and barnstars awarded can be found here. Barnstars will be distributed over the next week. If you enjoyed participating in our event, you may also like to join the Wikification drives, which are held on alternate months to our drives. Their June drive has started.
The six-month term for our first tranche of Guild coordinators will be expiring at the end of June. We will be accepting nominations for the second tranche of coordinators, who will also serve a six-month term. Nominations will open starting on June 5. For complete information, please have a look at the election page. Please feel free to contact any coordinator if you have any questions or need assistance. Your project coordinators are S Masters ( talk), Diannaa ( Talk), Tea with toast ( Talk), Chaosdruid ( talk), and Torchiest ( talk). |

Greetings from the
Guild of Copy Editors
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". |

Thanks for uploading File:Beamish oath.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.
To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

The "electoral method" section talks about the discussion about whether to retain the carve-out or not, but doesn't yet mention at all what the executive actually decided when it met to determine the rules — which is why I added a statement about the final decision. Bearcat ( talk) 21:39, 9 September 2011 (UTC)
Yes, the doubling of the is a spelling error. For example:
Obviously no correct the voices that speak of the The The, or the phrases:
Hello. Apologies for the warning. But tell me, have you ever sought an RFC on the matter of Harman's post? Please let me know on my talk page. Also, I see you have removed the warning yourself. I came here to do that. As I'm sure you know, if everyone removed warnings from their own talk page the system would utterly fail. So that is something you really shouldn't have done. The correct action was to let me know what you thought and then wait. --
