Hey, I noticed you do assessments for articles in the Chemicals Wikiproject, and I was wondering whether you could assess this one article, Copper(II) hydroxide. I haven't been able to find anywhere to post a request for assessment. Could you help me out? Thanks, -- Slartibartfast ( 19 92) 22:44, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
Thanks, man. I might get around to goind the stuff you listed in the weekend (yes, I have noticed that Chris edits once in a while). Anywho, thanks for the assessment and pointing that stuff out. Do you think that if we add those sections this would be a Good Article? -- Slarti bartfast1992 03:56, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
Hi,
I noticed that in August, you gave all of the Canadian province articles a pass into WP 0.7, according to their articles' talk pages. I think this is great; however, I do not see them anywhere on the 0.7 release version list. Is this on purpose, or just an oversight? Green451 18:18, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
Walkerma, would you be interested in participating in a workshop on improving the content review processes on Wikipedia? There's a new project page at Wikipedia:Content review/workshop, which has been set up as a place to discuss FA, GA, PR, WikiProjects such as Military History, the League of Copyeditors, Wikipedia 1.0, and any other content review processes. These don't all work smoothly all the time, as I'm sure you know. We have some participants who have experience at FA and GA, and would like to get involvement from someone with knowledge of Wikipedia 1.0, too; your name was suggested by another editor as someone very familiar with Wikipedia 1.0. Would you have time to join the discussion? The project page summarizes the goals and scope of the workshop; there are some discussions on the talk page that you might find informative -- towards the end of the talk page participation expands somewhat and in the last few sections is some discussion of how we'd like to proceed. If you can find the time, we'd be glad to see you join that discussion. Mike Christie (talk) 22:09, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

Due to the lack of projects that cover these articles, I have decided to create the Wikipedia:WikiProject Belarus. Anything that is in Category:Belarus is going to be covered by this WikiProject. I have created at template at {{ WikiProject Belarus}} so articles can be assessed. I just need a bot to stick them all in articles in the category I mentioned above. Can this be done? I just hate it when good articles from this country could miss out a DVD appearance because of some project not wishing to rate them sufficiently. Thanks. User:Zscout370 (Return Fire) 23:37, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
I've requested help on this, as I don't really know how to do this myself. In the meantime, could you perhaps put together a set nomination covering perhaps the top 20 Belarus articles? The ones we have included so far (that I know of) are:

Hi,
I was working on {{ WikiProject Southern California}} to try and do two things: 1) make the template list all Southern California articles automatically under the category of WikiProject California, and 2) go back and remove the redundant template for {{ WikiProject California}}.
Before I can do the second, I need to finish the first. Currently, before the {{ WikiProject Southern California}} template will jointly list something, the value "California" needs to be set to "yes." I am not a programmer, but I would like to get the template rewritten so it just places the articles in both wikiprojects. Can you help?
Thanks. -- evrik ( talk) 15:52, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
With the release version? Still interested in combining 1.0 with 2008 DVD Selection? We are getting quite a bit of demand for the 2007 Selection now but it takes 6 months to build up.. -- BozMo talk 21:57, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
Hey Martin
Spoke to PC62 and he said you could tell me about the ChemSketch collaboration. I was dragging my feet about sending my agreement to the license terms. It's been a while and I thought it had fizzled out, but apparently it's still working. I'm still keen on participating. Let me know more? Thanks! -- Rifleman 82 ( talk) 15:35, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

Hi, Martin. I saw your entry over at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Law#CFATS_article. I don't know this area of law in particular, but I did tweak a couple things (corrected some terminology, added a fact or two, added a couple references) to try to help it along a bit. Good luck, and thanks for starting the article. -- TJRC ( talk) 04:56, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

Walkerma, I just wanted to update you on the current situation with the content review workshop, which you contributed to for a while. We have a proposal for automation of peer review, and it seems Gimmetrow is going to try to find time to write the bot code for that. Once he has something to show people we'll post more notifications so people can see what they think of the idea.
Since it will be some time before Gimmetrow gets to that, we're currently running another straw poll to identify the next topic, and I thought that you might be interested in participating in that, even if you decide not to get involved with the subsequent topic discussion. Please drop by to take a look if you have the time; the section is here. Thanks. Mike Christie (talk) 03:22, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
Can you tell me who runs the http://www.wikipediaondvd.com/ site? It has issues... I was attempting to buy a couple DVD's for Xmas presents, but alas, the site crashes when you try to pay! (It's fine up until that point). Cheers, -- phoebe/( talk) 06:45, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
in your edit summary for the talk page of syphilis you mention that one section needs cleanup, but you don't mention what section it is. If you mention it on the talk page, it might get worked on. - Nunh-huh 03:18, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
Since you are a member of the WP 1.0 editorial team, perhaps you can answer a question for me. Currently, the top third of the Talk:Johnny Cash page is filled with information about WP 1.0. Is it supposed to look like that? My understanding was that there was a simple template at the top of the page, along with other wikiproject templates, stating that the article had been chosen to be part of WP 1.0. As it is now, you have to scroll down through all of that "stuff" to get to the table of contents. Is there a way of limiting the amount of such information that appears on the page? Thanks for your time. --- RepublicanJacobite The'FortyFive' 18:11, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

Actually I had prepared the following page but as it is not quite finished, I had not linked it yet. If you want to finish it we can link it properly. There needs to be some importance guidelines added, other than that I think it is about finished. Cheers ww2censor ( talk) 04:35, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
Strangness with today's statistics: the stats produced here seem quite at odds with the assessments I made within the last few weeks. Perhaps you could give it the once over. When I view the unassessed articles there are 518, yet the stats say 411 and I know that I assessed several of the lists of birds on stamps as you can see from the log entry for February 14, yet these same articles still appear as on the unassessed listing today. I checked this within minutes of the bot updating the statistics page, so I don't understand what is happening. Any advise would be appreciated. And after I assess some more, the number of unassessed stays the same, leaving the just assessed articles still listed as unassessed but this only seems to affect lists class articles as it works fine for others, so there is something amiss with the way the list-class articles are not being recorded. I will ask someone else to have a look too. Cheers ww2censor ( talk) 16:12, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

Your list was very helpful. I am defusing an emergency with the peer review page right now, and then I have a date with my wife later tonight. But I was able to make spreadsheets with the data from the projects you gave me, and they are done. All I need to do is to combine them into a master spreadsheet and add the spreadsheet code to do the calculations. I'm planning to work on it tomorrow. If you know how to program spreadsheets, I can just send you the raw data spreadsheets. — Carl ( CBM · talk) 22:43, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

No need to apologize; any time you can spare would be great, but I completely understand about having a lot else on your plate. One thing that you might be able to help with is a recommendation, though. Take a look at this post; we were thinking that we might be able to help an interested project get experience on taking an article to FA. The Countries project doesn't seem interested though, so I was wondering if you happened to know of a project with active editors that might be interested in such an idea. If you do, drop me a note -- we're going to give the Countries project another day or so and then try posting somewhere else.
