I'm working on the History of rail transport in Vietnam and have a question for you about the wartime period in Vietnam. Off the top of your head, can you think of any particular major operations that involved bombing (or otherwise destroying) rail infrastructure in the South or North? This could be either during WWII, First Indochina War, Vietnam War, Sino-Vietnamese War, whatever—you can have a look in the sandbox to see some references that I've stuck in there so far. -- dragfyre_ ʞןɐʇ c 19:10, 19 July 2010 (UTC)
Hello. In April you added a citation to a book from the " Webster's Quotations, Facts and Phrases" series published by Icon Group International to this article to reference text about his gravesite. Unfortunately, Icon Group International is not a reliable source - their books are computer-generated, with most of the text copied from Wikipedia (most entries have [WP] by them to indicate this, see e.g. [1]). I've only removed the reference, not the text it was referencing. The actual report reference is here:[ http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=yUwAOwAACAAJ], but the text isn't online. This newsletter might be a useful reference: [2]. I'm removing a lot of similar references as they are circular references; many other editors have also been duped by these sources. Despite giving an appearance of reliability, the name " Webster's" has been public domain since the late 19th century. Another publisher to be wary of as they reuse Wikipedia articles is Alphascript Publishing. Fences& Windows 00:09, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

You have helped me with incidents of racism in the past, so I figured it would be easiest to report this to you.
Ecko1o1 left this racist message on my talk page [3]. Can some disciplinary action be taken against this user. He has tried to make some racist edits to Asian American in the past (this is the most recent one [4]). I went to Elockid for help, but because of their involvement they are powerless (see [5]). Can something be done to this user regarding their blatant racism. Thanks Thegreyanomaly ( talk) 21:31, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

Have you given up of cricket FACs? :) I'm sure there are more 1948 articles out there somewhere! I'm more or less back properly now after a few housing hiccups. I noticed there are a few of your Harvey articles at GA at the moment. I can review them if you've no problem with me doing it; I've nothing at review at the moment as I'm still slogging away at the never ending Hutton article. I'm also putting together bits and pieces on Yardley, if you are interested. -- Sarastro1 ( talk) 22:24, 20 July 2010 (UTC)
OK, there's gotta be a better way of doing this.
There are countless articles that you've edited that have empty ref tags (Tags which are formatted REF NAME=text, yet have no text within the tag). When I remove the empty ref tags, you simply revert my edit, putting them back without fixing the problem. This causes numerous reference errors which results in big bold red text at the bottom of every page you do this on.
There has to be a better way to fix these reference errors without having you continuously revert these edits. Should I instead add something to these empty ref tags? Such as "MISSING REFERENCE"? This way an error will still show so that you may fix it, but it won't flag all over the place for having incorrect ref formatting.
Please respond instead of simply ignoring the problem you're creating... Thank you. ~ [ Scott M. Howard ] ~ [ Talk ]:[ Contribs ] ~ 02:55, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

I think - I think - that your block of user:Splittist may have been in error. He was using multiple accounts, yes, but not simultaneously, and only because he would become bored with a username. Or that's what he tells me, anyway.

Greetings from the
Guild of Copy Editors
July 2010 Backlog Elimination Drive. Thanks to all who participated in the drive! Over 100 editors—including
Jimbo Wales—signed up this time (nearly triple the participants of the May drive). This benefited the Guild as well as the articles in need of copy editing. You can see from the comparison graphs that we increased the number of completed copyedits substantially. Unfortunately, we were not able to meet our goal of completely wiping out 2008 from the queue. We also were not able to reduce the backlog to less than 6,000 articles. We suspect people were busy with real life summertime things, at least in the northern hemisphere! We were able to remove the months of January, February, March, April, and May from the backlog, and we almost wiped out the month of June. We reduced the backlog by 1,289 articles (17%), so all in all it was a very successful drive, and we will be holding another event soon. We'll come up with some new ideas to try to keep things fresh and interesting. Keep up the good work, everybody!
