Hello. Just wanted to direct you to my final comment on the GA passing section. Regards, Hugahoody (talk) 19:05, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
Could you weigh in here so that the process can move along more quickly? It can take a couple weeks if nobody chimes in. Thanks! Jrcla2 ( talk) 04:23, 9 February 2011 (UTC)
Hello! Your submission of United States Consumer Financial Protection Bureau at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed. It's fine but I have made a minor suggestion. Please review the comment underneath your nomination's entry. Peter I. Vardy ( talk) 11:08, 10 February 2011 (UTC)
On 11 February 2011, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Darius Morris, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that The Wall Street Journal calculated that Michigan Wolverines point guard Darius Morris is the most valuable college basketball player in any major college program? You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

Hi Tony, always good to hear from you. Thanks very much for all your help on 1974–75 Buffalo Sabres season. You are the best! Maple Leaf ( talk) 14:19, 14 February 2011 (UTC)
Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add or change content, as you did to the article Recovery (Eminem album), please cite a reliable source for the content of your edit. This helps maintain our policy of verifiability. Take a look at Wikipedia:Citing sources for information about how to cite sources and the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

Hey Tony. I was wondering if you had any idea of how to get rid of the white background that currently surrounds the Block M I uploaded a while ago. I can't figure out how to get rid of it and it's driving me nuts. Thanks. SCS100 ( talk) 05:54, 16 February 2011 (UTC)
Sorry, I can't comment any further on "The King and I". In my opinion, the Productions section, film section, recordings section and other things you have commented on are inadequately detailed (for an FA, anyhow), but Wehwalt and I have been disagreeing on other articles (to put it mildly), and I can't handle any more stress with him. Allegro (musical) was promoted to FA without adequate review, IMO, as I stayed away. Me and Juliet ditto (GA so far). You can see that his edit summary accuses me of "subtle vandalism" because I added info to The King and I. If you look at my edits, you will see a pattern of my trying to suggest improvements, and his reverting them. I have been working on musicals articles and was one of the people who designed the guidelines for WP:MUSICALS, but Wehwalt doesn't want my advice, and I don't have time to do the research for this article myself, so, I'm going to leave Wehwalt alone. For an idea of what other info can go in a musicals article, see Hair (musical). All the best, -- Ssilvers ( talk) 17:11, 17 February 2011 (UTC)
Hi Tony! Thanks for signing the Online Ambassadors interest list; I hope you're still interested in the role. If you want to apply, you can do so at Wikipedia:Online Ambassadors/Apply. I imagine you'll be a shoe-in and could skip all the optional questions.-- Sage Ross - Online Facilitator, Wikimedia Foundation ( talk) 17:38, 18 February 2011 (UTC)
Hi Tony. Are you familiar with the group that organized this recent Chicago Wikipedia event? If not, you might want to get in touch with the local Public Square / Cafe Society folks.-- Pharos ( talk) 21:46, 18 February 2011 (UTC)
Hello, Tony. I made detailed comments on the Productions section, as requested: Here. -- Ssilvers ( talk) 02:24, 19 February 2011 (UTC)
I'm making good progress with the Productions section and just have a couple more productions to flesh out. Then I'll summarize where we're at on it. Would you kindly check the references for that section and make sure that they're formatted to your satisfaction? I wonder if we can reinstate the GA review as soon as I get in the last production info and some info about the film? All the best, -- Ssilvers ( talk) 15:09, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
Hello, Tony. Would you please add your opinion here as to whether you regard the Internet Broadway Database as a WP:Reliable source? I would like to have a clear consensus there either way. Thanks! -- Ssilvers ( talk) 23:45, 20 February 2011 (UTC)
Hi Tony, not long ago we were working on the review of Rachel Weisz's article. Me and Gunt50 added to the article the critics review of her performances, which you said that were necessary if we wanted to take the article to FA. could you take a look to say if the article can be nominated to FA right now or needs more work? -- Gduwen ( talk) 16:10, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
It's conceivable that it is PD, but more evidence would really be required. J Milburn ( talk) 20:15, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
WikiProject Good Articles will be running a GAN backlog elimination drive for the entire month of March. The goal of this drive is to bring the number of outstanding Good Article nominations down to below 50. This will help editors in restoring confidence to the GAN process as well as actively improving, polishing, and rewarding good content. If you are interested in participating in the drive, please place your name here. Awards will be given out to those who review certain numbers of GANs as well as to those who review the most. On behalf of my co-coordinator Wizardman, we hope we can see you in March. MuZemike delivered by MuZebot 23:55, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
Hello. You have a new message at Swarm's talk page.
Any plans on a Chicago Wikipedia meetup for 2011? Perhaps at eChicago again like last year? I'm in Chicagoland and interested if one happens. -- Charles Jeffrey Danoff 16:46, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
Firstly I have no problem with the work you have been doing in adding categories in some of the articles I watch. I'd just like to let you know of a tool that may be of use to you. HotCat allows you to easily add, remove and edit categories without clicking on the edit button. If you're interested head to the linked page and follow the instructions to enable it in your profile. If you have any questions feel free to ask me. Themeparkgc Talk 01:26, 23 February 2011 (UTC)
Hello! Your submission of Tim Hardaway, Jr. at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and there still are some issues that may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) underneath your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! KimChee ( talk) 11:28, 28 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.
