This outline is approaching completion.
I added a bunch more links, finding them with the following Google site-specific searches of Wikipedia:
(You can use the wikicode for the links above as the basis for new searches - just replace "Gibraltar" with any other country or region name).
The redlinks need to be bluelinked where possible. The most useful way is to create redirects leading to the material (which is usually included in a section of an article - see Wikipedia:Redirect#Redirects to page sections. That way, when the redirect pages are replaced by the actual articles, the links will already point to the right places.
Please take a crack at it, and bluelink a few.
Thank you.
Good luck.

Hey, I'm sure you noticed that many users pre-emptively categorize their submissions, or give them stub or other templates that auto-categorize the page. Jitse's bot used to remove the cats and neuter the templates that caused them under the old AFC system. I was wondering if you could set one of your bots (or create a new one) to do the same thing to declined submissions? I noticed you've been running a few AFC bots, so I assumed the request wouldn't bother you. Thanks. Someguy1221 ( talk) 05:23, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
I'll begin working on this as soon as EarwigBot III is online. However, before starting this, I'd like to know if I should combine this with the potential bot task I suggested at WP:AN#Category:Declined AfC submissions needs clearing. There does not yet appear to be any consensus on whether to nuke the submissions as Nakon ( talk · contribs) suggested, keep them all, or keep them for a certain time period, as I suggested. If we reach a decision to operate a bot to delete old (really old) submissions, then both tasks could be combined into the AfC Declined EarwigBot, in theory. But if we obtain consensus to keep the old submissions, then I might as well just run this as a task of EarwigBot I. The Earwig ( Talk | Editor review) 00:57, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
Hey, it would be fantastic if we could date all the accepted submissions as well. A small change to your task 2 program should achieve that I think. What do you think? — Martin ( MSGJ · talk) 18:43, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

I there, I created the Multilinear Transformation article that you rejected. You suggested merging or adding to "Multilinear Map" which is a altogether different concept. It is a way to describe a tensor analagous to describing a covector as a linear functional (basically in english: describing a geometric object as a function).
So i hope you would be kind enough to start this article due to its foundational role in tensor algebra. Also it goes hand in hand with another article for creation: "Multiarray"
Cheers,
Jennifer

I appreciate your work in adding articles to the presidential elections project. You should take note of a formatting issue, though. When you add the WikiProject banner and it falls immediately before the first heading on the talk page, you must insert a line break. Otherwise the heading doesn't display properly. See this edit for an example of the cleanup needed. JamesMLane t c 07:40, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

Hi, just a short note to let you know that I moved back Willow Tree to Willow Tree, New South Wales. This is in line with Wikipedia:Naming conventions (geographic names)#Australia. I agree that this is silly but it appears that that is the way that most here want it to remain. I think there was a rationale for this convention in the deep, dark past but I suspect it survives now merely because "It's always been like that." I raised it for discussion about 18 months or so ago but it is safe to say, "there was no consensus for the change" so the status quo was retained. Cheers, Mattinbgn\ talk 21:21, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
Thank you again for your support of the Great Wikipedia Dramaout. Preliminary statistics indicate that 129 new articles were created, 203 other articles were improved, and 183 images were uploaded.

Though the campaign is technically over, please continue to update the log page at WP:NODRAMA/L with any articles which you worked during the campaign, and also to note any that receive commendation, such as DYK, GA or FA status.

Actually, in retrospect, I'm going to decline this. Nothing personal, it's just that I'm not sure I'm really ready to give adminship a shot, and I'd prefer to wait a bit longer. (Half a year, perhaps?) If it's not too much trouble, I'm going to G7 the nomination, so that I have a clean page to work on when I do decide to run. Hopefully, the end of the year, or perhaps a little later, would be a good date to aim for. And Impala: one quick note. It's generally more courteous to wait for someone to accept their nomination before creating the page, in case they decline (like I just did).

(outdent) It's a good page, but there are still some things that are bothering me. Personally, I'd like to see the images cleaned up. They're not very organized, and I find them to be a nuisance when reading the article. I'd also appreciate it if you could remove the dead external links, and clean up the More information section, which is far from nice to look at. But beyond that, I still feel like it is "missing something." I'd like to see some more content in the article, preferably about their life cycle (see how I did it at ringlegged earwig; you might find this page useful), and their impact on humans, as seen here. Not all of these things are necessary, but it might be helpful if we want the GA to pass. The Earwig ( Talk | Contribs) 02:16, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

There does not yet appear to be any consensus on whether to nuke the submissions as Nakon ( talk · contribs) suggested, keep them all, or keep them for a certain time period, as I suggested. If we reach a decision to operate a bot to delete old (really old) submissions, then both tasks could be combined into the AfC Declined EarwigBot, in theory. But if we obtain consensus to keep the old submissions, then I might as well just run this as a task of EarwigBot I. The Earwig ( Talk | Editor review) 00:57, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
Hey, it would be fantastic if we could date all the accepted submissions as well. A small change to your task 2 program should achieve that I think. What do you think? — Martin ( MSGJ · talk) 18:43, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

I there, I created the Multilinear Transformation article that you rejected. You suggested merging or adding to "Multilinear Map" which is a altogether different concept. It is a way to describe a tensor analagous to describing a covector as a linear functional (basically in english: describing a geometric object as a function).
So i hope you would be kind enough to start this article due to its foundational role in tensor algebra. Also it goes hand in hand with another article for creation: "Multiarray"
Cheers,
Jennifer

I appreciate your work in adding articles to the presidential elections project. You should take note of a formatting issue, though. When you add the WikiProject banner and it falls immediately before the first heading on the talk page, you must insert a line break. Otherwise the heading doesn't display properly. See this edit for an example of the cleanup needed. JamesMLane t c 07:40, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

Hi, just a short note to let you know that I moved back Willow Tree to Willow Tree, New South Wales. This is in line with Wikipedia:Naming conventions (geographic names)#Australia. I agree that this is silly but it appears that that is the way that most here want it to remain. I think there was a rationale for this convention in the deep, dark past but I suspect it survives now merely because "It's always been like that." I raised it for discussion about 18 months or so ago but it is safe to say, "there was no consensus for the change" so the status quo was retained. Cheers, Mattinbgn\ talk 21:21, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
Thank you again for your support of the Great Wikipedia Dramaout. Preliminary statistics indicate that 129 new articles were created, 203 other articles were improved, and 183 images were uploaded. Additionally, 41 articles were nominated for DYK, of which at least 2 have already been promoted. There are currently also 8 articles up for GA status and 3 up for FA/FL status. Though the campaign is technically over, please continue to update the log page at WP:NODRAMA/L with any articles which you worked during the campaign, and also to note any that receive commendation, such as DYK, GA or FA status.

I think supporting this sort of disruptive behavior shows either a rush to judgment without gathering facts or poor judgment if you did gather the facts, but it It could also be a simple mistake or reasonable based on some facts I do not know.

Actually, in retrospect, I'm going to decline this. Nothing personal, it's just that I'm not sure I'm really ready to give adminship a shot, and I'd prefer to wait a bit longer. (Half a year, perhaps?) If it's not too much trouble, I'm going to G7 the nomination, so that I have a clean page to work on when I do decide to run. Hopefully, the end of the year, or perhaps a little later, would be a good date to aim for. And Impala: one quick note. It's generally more courteous to wait for someone to accept their nomination before creating the page, in case they decline (like I just did).

(outdent) It's a good page, but there are still some things that are bothering me. Personally, I'd like to see the images cleaned up. They're not very organized, and I find them to be a nuisance when reading the article. I'd also appreciate it if you could remove the dead external links, and clean up the More information section, which is far from nice to look at. But beyond that, I still feel like it is "missing something." I'd like to see some more content in the article, preferably about their life cycle (see how I did it at ringlegged earwig; you might find this page useful), and their impact on humans, as seen here. Not all of these things are necessary, but it might be helpful if we want the GA to pass. The Earwig ( Talk | Contribs) 02:16, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
1:images Though there is one I had a little trouble with.
