Guild of Copy Editors March 2011 backlog elimination drive report
Greetings from the
Guild of Copy Editors
March 2011 Backlog elimination drive. Thank you for participating in the March 2011 drive! This newsletter summarizes the March drive and other recent events.
There were 99 signups for the drive; of these, 70 participated. Interest was high mainly due to a link to our event from the Watchlist page. We had a record-breaking 84 articles listed on the Requests page in March; 11 of these have been promoted to Good article status so far. Several of our recent efforts have received Featured Article status as well, and the GOCE is becoming a solid resource for the Wikipedia community. Many thanks to editors who have been helping out at the Requests page and by copy editing articles from the backlog.
Remarkable progress was made in reducing the backlog this month, as we now have fewer than 500 articles remaining from 2009. We are well under the 4,000-article mark for the total number remaining in the queue. Since our backlog drives began in May 2010 with 8,323 articles, we have cleared more than 53% 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 April drive has started.
On March 21, SMasters appointed Chaosdruid ( talk) and Torchiest ( talk) as Guild coordinators to serve in place of The Utahraptor, who recently stepped down. Please feel free to contact any coordinator if you have any questions or need assistance. Your drive coordinators – S Masters ( talk), Diannaa ( Talk) and Tea with toast ( Talk) |

Hey gorilla, you said you were an administrator. What are you doing on an obscure webpage in the middle of the night? Not only that you are using a bot. You have no idea who i am. I don't know the rules here yet, but I was called to testify against billy boy gates in congress. Yep. the name is Dr. (a real one) Valerie B. Kaiser, MD and I own a privately owned and secured internet language that can cut butter. Bill wanted it for 300,000,000.00 to start the MSN network which would have put him in control of YOU. My partner and I said NO. She does what you do. I think. My undergrad degree was in physics with a 4.0. Guess what I have? GERSTMANN SYDROME. YOU are a fool working for people who are just trying to stop something they cannot. You know what that is, or maybe you do not. But I put all pretty pictures of all your sites, mr administrator, (did not say I could spell) on the pages of the real people who run this show.

Hey, just a happy reminder to make sure that you are regularly checking in on your mentees work for JMU'S Technical editing class, Sadads ( talk) 11:10, 5 April 2011 (UTC)
You changed the article on Constructed Wetlands ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constructed_wetland) to remove contrary information that I provided that shows wetlands are not all good. That included, from memory, a link that showed this. This link ( http://www.sccwrp.org/ResearchAreas/Wetlands/WetlandEcologyAndBiogeochemistry/UrbanWetlands/HabitatValueOfNaturalAndConstuctedWetlands.aspx)asks three questions: "1) Do natural or constructed wetlands used for treatment of urban runoff become environmental hazards for wildlife?
2) How does directing urban runoff or stormwater through a natural or constructed wetland affect the habitat quality of the wetland?
a) What is the potential that changes to a wetland’s physical or chemical structure will affect the ecological health of the wetland, in terms of its ability to support a diverse and healthy assemblage of typical wetland flora and fauna?
b) How do potential changes in wetland physical and chemical structure impact the biological communities dependent on these wetlands, and are these impacts severe enough to be of concern?
c) To what extent does the intentional manipulation of hydrologic regime, site morphology, and wetland biota (to maximize water treatment capacity) detract from the habitat value of the wetland?
3) How do considerations of the habitat effects of treatment wetlands differ by wetland class (e.g., how are the issues different for riverine vs. palustrine or lacustrine wetlands)?"
And states: "Adequate research does not exist to address the three central questions above." and "Documented examples exist showing potential incompatibility between water quality and habitat goals in wetlands. Overall, the literature reviewed suggests that concerns of risk to wildlife are valid, but because these studies were not specifically designed to address this question, the degree of risk is unknown."
These are valid points and people should be made aware of them.

Thank you for notifying me about those problems. I will be sure to avoid causing them again in the future. Again, thanks! I love roads 22:41, 23 April 2011 (UTC)
I am a Wikipedian, who is studying the phenomenon on Wikipedia. I need your help to conduct my research on about understanding "Motivation of Wikipedia contributors." I would like to invite you to Main Study. Please give me your valuable time, which estimates about 20 minutes. I chose you as a English Wikipedia user who made edits recently through the RecentChange page. Refer to the first page in the online survey form for more information on the study and me. cooldenny ( talk) 03:56, 24 April 2011 (UTC)

Hello, GW, I'm here needing help with the Aawjgnekr Vandal. First of all, don't be surprised I'm choosing you to contact about this.
I have recently dealt with Aawjgnekr Junior and Freddyfreak1997, Who might be sock puppets of Aawjgnekr ( verify). I've also previously dealt with Netgerr, TomBellBomb, and Sawjan (If these external links aren't working, please see me). One recreated the hoax page Controlisable, another Chase oliver(Difference between capitalization). You may also be wondering if Freddyfreaks 1998 and 99. They might be, but I think we should leave that matter for later. I just need help. Please contact me as soon as possible. AlfredoRego ( talk) 20:26, 26 April 2011 (UTC)
Oh, and by the way, I've mentioned these two users at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Aawjgnekr, but it may be archived now. AlfredoRego ( talk) 20:50, 26 April 2011 (UTC)
These users have not caused me much trouble, but I think I might have been vandalized by Freddyfreak1997. I have a question--- Why are you redirecting the Freddyfreaks' talk pages to their user pages? AlfredoRego ( talk) 23:04, 30 April 2011 (UTC)
Why did you delete my article, 33rd regiment of foot, i put 2 links up, and it wasnt discussed on the talk page of the article.
Hello again, GW, I noticed on your archives, you wrote your own template. There is Archived Talk Page, a template exactly like the one on your archives. {{ Archived Talk Page}} AlfredoRego ( talk) 23:29, 30 April 2011 (UTC)

I've noticed that you were hunting down this user's changes on articles. It really seems this user is doing it for fun, for the most part.
I have taken interest in his activity as well, so I too will pay attention to his edits. I just love the feeling of reverting a vandal, and then watching them post the same garbage again. HAHAHA.
BTW, love the name.
SelfEx1led ( talk) 09:34, 1 May 2011 (UTC)
Oh. I'm simply patrolling manually. But I noticed that you were on top of his edits (as a result of the program). Funny stuff.
Though I could warn the vandal, I don't want to be someone who's "bossy", which is why I've never used the templates. For someone like me who isn't an admin of some sort, threatening him to get him blocked seems kind of like an empty promise. *Shrugs*
SelfEx1led ( talk) 18:18, 1 May 2011 (UTC)
That makes sense. I think with your explanation it might convince me to use the templates. The other patrollers might get a better reason to get that user blocked (because it seems to require a lot of patience for other admins to take action on a user - something Wikipedia is very good with).
How fast does Huggle work on new edits? How does it work? I like the feeling of manually patrolling - because it gives me a physical feel that I'm "hunting".
SelfEx1led ( talk) 01:36, 2 May 2011 (UTC)
Wow! Thanks for the info! Based on what you wrote, I have zero reason to do this manually. The fact that you can report a user that quickly is a huge bonus. Finding mods to report to manually is a pain.
I'll definitely try it out. Thanks.
SelfEx1led ( talk) 07:11, 2 May 2011 (UTC)
This seems very complicated, but I will check it out. I don't understand what the difference is between Twinkle and Huggle, since Twinkle seems to have rollback features built-in apparently (unless I'm severely mistakened). Since you seem to know a lot about the two, could you please explain?
Thanks!

Hi, not too sure how this whole wiki things works, but I saw that you actually left a positive comment in the talk page for the Erik Brunetti article. The text & photos that were deemed copyright are all from the artist at the source. It's frustrating to not be able to add that text as is or even the photos...

Hi GorillaWarfare. I'm approaching you since you were the one that blocked 89.242.247.32 for 3RR (although I think the block could have been for personal attack just as well, or frankly, for vandalism). First, note that it is the same account as FASHIONKING17, they both have exactly the same edits for Bros and Shutter Shades. But more importantly, that IP is avoiding the block by using 89.242.242.245, again, the same two edits here and here. Best regards. -- Muhandes ( talk) 08:43, 13 June 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for your valuable help and information. I would of course be more than willing to revise the article at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Nicoleseowhat/Ranowear to fit your guidelines. I do have one question. We hired an outside service simply because we are unfamiliar with Wikipedia procedures and our learning curve might slow things down. Would it still be possible to hire another writer as an editor with specific instructions to adopt a neutral point of view and follow the guidelines as outlined in your note specifically as regards to sourcing and inclusion of any relevant negative information? And of course I would like the article to be userfied again. However, as you mentioned a time factor once it is userfied, should we wait on that until we're ready to do proper edits? Thanks.

Hi, this is Awawawawoo, and I just recently altered the Deism page, but the change I made keeps getting undone by another user called PTJoshua. He stated that my edit was "vandalism". I was wondering about how he defines vandalism, as I stated my reason for removing the quote- namely, its debated, controversial nature. I haven't used wikipedia much (other than as an information source), but I was prompted by a friend to look up Deism, and when I saw something that struck me as odd and went into the article's discussion about it, found there was already a debate taking place and that even people in the wikipedia community found the statement which caught my eye to be more pinion than fact. So...why is my edit being repeatedly undone? I feel it is entirely legitimate, and lends more credence to the article as a whole. I'm not too good at editing on here, but here's the user who altered what I removed, who I see you've spoken with on here before: http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=User:PTJoshua&action=edit&redlink=1 Here's the page I edited. I removed the quote at the end of the second full paragraph: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deism And here is the discussion of that single sentence, which I deemed too opinionated to appear in the introduction of this article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Deism I contributed in the discussion about the founders at the very end of the section titled "Deism in the U.S." My biggest question is, why isn't there a separate section discussing this quote about the founding fathers, possibly titled "Deism in the U.S." instead of a statement, made as though it is fact, appearing at the top of the entire article discussing Deism itself? Inappropriate, IMO, and I don't understand why my edit keeps getting defined here by another user as "vandalism". Thanks for reading. :) Awawawawoo. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Awawawawoo ( talk • contribs) 00:07, 22 June 2011 (UTC)
What I said is true. The comment above that one said this: "A few points of clarification. I think that, here at wikipedia, our personal assessment of a particular source often needs to be held in check. Your assessment of Frazer's interpretation of Jefferson's statement is different from mine. It seems to me that Jefferson's words clearly indicate a general belief in God's involvement in human affairs. Frazer's work has an entire chapter, not a "vague sentence" on Jefferson's religious views. For the article, lengthy discussion is not appropriate, so I presented Frazer's strongest single piece of evidence, which is usually ignored by the "Jefferson-was-a-Deist" camp. Secondly, I was not disputing Enlightenment influence on the American founders, but rather the threefold connection of Deism, Enlightenment, and the American founding. I have read May's book, as well as many other books relating to Enlightenment philosophy, American colonial education, and the lives and thinking of the founders, including lesser-known founders like Witherspoon, Wythe, and Wilson. The Americans were much more likely to read theists like Shaftesbury and Hutcheson, for example, than Voltaire or Rousseau. There were cross-currents in the Enlightenment, so the vague, unsourced statement linking Deism, the Enlightenment, and the American founders seems to be not only against wikipedia policy, but also misleading and unhelpful. --Other Choices"
This user seems much better informed over all. And there are several comments above that one, and the one you quoted I found to be the least informative and the most opinionated. Phrases like "Republican rant book" and claiming, without referencing anything in specific, that said book(s) isn't properly research, or however they put it, is perfectly meaningless. All they gave was a political opinion, when you boil down the substance. And this statement: "several of the founding fathers were Deists" is also opinion, based on the fact that there are history books that contradict each other on the subject. And if you read all the comments back and forth on the page you referenced, you'll see that there is a discussion taking place. That's what prompted the comment you quoted in the first place, after all. So I'm not sure how what I wrote earlier is untrue.
Wow, thanks for replying! :) I didn't know about the 3 revert rule, thanks for letting me know. That's partly why I posted here, to find out about the rules. I guess I'll continue discussing this with PTJoshua, then. I think he's checking up here, so I'll just put up a book I googled pretty fast, titled "Founding Faith: Providence, Politics, and the Birth of Religious Freedom in America" by by Steven Waldman. I particularly liked a quote from one of the editorial reviews of the book: “Steven Waldman does a great job describing the nuances of the Founders’ beliefs and the balances they struck, thus rescuing them from those on both sides who would oversimplify their ideas.” –Walter Isaacson, president of the Aspen Institute and author of Benjamin Franklin: An American Life. Anywho, when I googled "Founding fathers deism amazon" (or it may have been "founding fathers deist amazon") many different books came up which argued both sides of the "most of the founders are deists" argument. All I've said is that the statement that it is widely accepted that most of the founders are deists is highly debated, and thus not appropriate in the introductory paragraphs of a wikipedia article on Deism. Thanks! Woops, here's the book link: http://www.amazon.com/Founding-Faith-Providence-Politics-Religious/dp/1400064376/ref=sr_1_3?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1308784968&sr=1-3

I've also noticed this with your AIV reports. In general it's important to go through all the warnings before you put down the final warning, and to only use vandalism warnings and AIV reports for obvious vandalism. In some cases you reported editors who were just confused newbies making content edits you disagreed with.

I hope I put this in the right spot. I'm new to Wikipedia, so please be patient with me. I believe you are the administrator who deleted the page "Pixilated Theory" and via the Wikipedia rules, I'm contacting you before requesting undeletion. I wish to contest the speedy deletion of this article as this group is quite well known in the Midwest and the article was not given a fair review in the article discussion section. I joined for the mere creation of this article (and possibly others in the future I hope, but if you treat everybody's contributions like this, I probably will not contribute) as I have been waiting years for some else to do it, as I know several people who will attest that this group is what Wikipedia considers to be of "Notable" status. I would like to know why the information I provide as sources (which met the guidelines of Wikipedia, which I mentioned on the talk page and was ignored) for notability were ignored.

Aloha!
My name is Victor and I work with the Wikimedia Foundation, the non-profit organization that supports Wikipedia. We're exploring new ways to explain why Wikipedia is so special and we’ve started a Wikipedia Stories Project, where we’re chronicling the inspiring stories of the Wikipedia community around the world, including those from readers, editors, and donors. Stories are absolutely essential for any non-profit to persuade new people to support the cause, and we know the vast network of people who use Wikipedia have so much to share.
Thus far, Wikipedia has largely relied upon personal appeals from founder Jimmy Wales to drive our annual fundraising efforts. While effective, these appeals don't convey the incredible diversity of people who've come to rely upon Wikipedia every day.
I'd really like the opportunity to interview you to tell your story, with the possibility of using it in our materials, on our community websites, or as part of this year’s fundraiser to encourage others to support Wikipedia.
I'm hoping you will elaborate on your story with me by email, phone, Skype, Facebook or whatever way you like. Please let me know if you're inclined to take part in the Wikipedia Stories Project and we'll set up a good time to discuss further.
Thank you,
Victor

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". |

Hi, when temporarily uploading images here from Commons for use on the main page, such as File:After the war a medal and maybe a job2.jpg today, is it usual to upload a reduced-size version? The version on Commons is 5,042 × 3,355 pixels, but the version temporarily uploaded here is only 800 × 532 pixels. It seems like that would reduce main page visitors' ability to enjoy the image in its full glory, though of course it makes the loading time for the main page faster. I guess I just wanted to confirm that the lower-res version was uploaded on purpose, not by accident. Angr ( talk) 06:14, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

Hello GW, I was curious about something. My user page has only been vandalized once, but I'm wondering if it could be semi-protected. The reason for this is that I have caused some users to get mad at me for reverting their edits that were unconstructive, or did not need to be done, or whatever, (as you can see here) and my user page could be a target of vandalism from users like that. Also there are other reasons I want my user page semi-protected. The reason I did not request this at RFPP is because some random admins that are not familiar with me might not understand why or whatever. Plus, I've already recently made two requests there. I thought it would be better to ask an admin I'd talked to before. Anyway I'm wondering if an indefinite semi could be done to my user page. Atterion Talk• Contribs 22:42, 26 July 2011 (UTC)

Even though it's been quiet on-wiki, the Wikipedia Ambassador Program has been busy over the last few months getting ready for the next term. We're heading toward over 80 classes in the US, across all disciplines. You'll see courses start popping up here, and this time we want to match one or more Online Ambassadors to each class based on interest or expertise in the subject matter. If you see a class that you're interested, please contact the professor and/or me; the sooner the Ambassadors and professors get in communication, the better things go. Look for more in the coming weeks about next term.
In the meantime, with a little help I've identified all the articles students did significant work on in the last term. Many of the articles have never been assessed, or have ratings that are out of date from before the students improved them. Please help assess them! Pick a class, or just a few articles, and give them a rating (and add a relevant WikiProject banner if there isn't one), and then update the list of articles.
Once we have updated assessments for all these articles, we can get a better idea of how quality varied from course to course, and which approaches to running Wikipedia assignments and managing courses are most effective.

I am of the view that you have chronically overstepped in this case by being an enabler for sockpuppets waging an outside political campaign against this user. If there really is an issue, there are hundreds of other admins without a history in this that can manage it.

Hello! If you're planning to be an active Online Ambassador for the upcoming academic term, now is the time to join one or more pods. (A pod consists of the instructor, the Campus Ambassadors, and the Online Ambassadors for single class.) The Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) explains the expectations for being part of a pod as an Online Ambassador. (The MOU for pods in Canada is essentially the same.) In short, the role of Online Ambassadors this term consists of:
This replaces the 1-on-1 mentoring role for Online Ambassadors that we had in previous terms; rather than being responsible for individual students (some of whom don't want or help or are unresponsive), Online Ambassadors will be there to help whichever students in their class(es) ask for help.
You can browse the upcoming courses here: United States; Canada. More are being added as new pods become active and create their course pages.
Once you've found a class that you want to work with—especially if you some interest or expertise in the topic area—you should sign the MOU listing for that class and get in touch with the instructor. We're hoping to have at least two Online Ambassadors per pod, and more for the larger classes.
If you're up for supporting any kind of class and would like me to assign you to a pod in need of more Online Ambassadors, just let me know.

I saw your work on this article. It was actually deleted last year. Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Zeena Schreck. However there was little participation in that AFD and the new version clearly has less fluff and more sources (though the new citations are a bit weak), so there's no reason I can see to speedy delete it. The editor who created it and related articles seems to be a serious fan, with access to obscure sources. IIRC, the old article had problems with various factions arguing over who created or led which groups. I hope it's less of a problem this time around. Will Beback talk 21:14, 30 August 2011 (UTC)

Hello GorillaWarfare, could you please lend a hand with my, continuing problems with getting a new article up, origionally I tried to post Gop resignation letter in the main article but was given a whole list of reasons why that would not work, each one I had an answer to - when I chose to go an alterante route it was shut down in an instant Kjmonkey has been the editor that I have the most problems with -
collect has nominated this for deletion, and he has also refused to use the words Crony capitalism in any article about Rick Perry, but that is a different issue.
lastly I see that you use a secure name of real person signature, if you see my talk page on Rick Perry, I have suggested that edits to Political canidiates only be edited with actual persons to confirm that they are not connected financially or employed by (Wiki policy) or happen to be a foreign national Federal Election Commision policy.
I have to lead by example and need to get my own real life idenity up soon if I am to have any crediablity in this reguard.
Lastly do you remember this,

Hello, Ambassadors!
I wanted to give you one last update on where we are this term, before my role as Online Facilitator wraps up at the end of this week. Already, there are over 800 students in U.S. classes who have signed up on course pages this term. About 40 classes are active, and we're expecting that many more again once all the classes are up and running.
On a personal note, it's been a huge honor to work with so many great Wikipedians over the last 15 months. Thanks so much to everyone who jumped in and decided to give the ambassador concept a try, and double thanks those of you who were involved early on. Your ideas and insights and enthusiasm have been the foundation of the program, and they will be the keys the future of the program.
Still waiting to get involved with a class this term, or ready to take on more? We have seven classes that are already active and need OA support, and eleven more that have course pages started but don't have active students yet. Please consider joining one or more of these pods!
Active courses that really need Online Ambassadors:

Hi GorillaWarfare!
I have put together a survey for female editors of Wikipedia (and related projects) in order to explore, in greater detail, women's experiences and roles within the Wikimedia movement. It'd be wonderful if you could participate!
It's an independent survey, done by me, as a fellow volunteer Wikimedian. It is not being done on behalf of the Wikimedia Foundation. I hope you'll participate!
Just click this link to participate in this survey, via Google!
Any questions or concerns, feel free to email me or stop by my user talk page. Also, feel free to share this any other female Wikimedians you may know. It is in English, but any language Wikimedia participants are encouraged to participate. I appreciate your contributions - to the survey and to Wikipedia! Thank you!

I have never posted on such a topic and have no idea who or what a Risbury is or what posts you are talking about. I assume you have been sending these messages in error.

Could you please, please, please immediately "unprotect" or "unblock" Genetics and archaeogenetics of South Asia so that me and Andrew Lancaster can go in and edit it? Yes, I have left messages on the talk page of the protecting admin, but he hasn't responded as he is on a prolonged vacation. Doing this would harmonize and bring up-to-date all of the articles on South Asian population genetics, so that everybody has freely available and accurate info. Muchas, muchas gracias.

Well sorry, I didn't know that. And btw, I was a newby, so I wasn't familiar with the proper protocol in getting something accomplished around here. Can't fault me for that. Besides, I only edit warred once, with somebody who should have known better. And guess what? Almost all of the changes I proposed have been accepted. So what does that tell you? What does a fellow have to do to get something done around here?

Regarding the end of the world, etc. (Collapsed to save space)
|
---|
Contrary to Camping's suggested end of the World scenario we have deduced this much.
REMEMBER Logic and logistics ALONE would say that there should be no more than 2000 people in each country. ARMY of 1000 Logistical Appraisal 1953. With regards to an Apocalyptic Global Overpopulation Scenario. (Yahoo Article on the Norwegian Prime Minister.) 19/10/2011 My reply. Too obvious to be true really but the real question is why? Population has increased exponentially and this is KNOWN to be supernatural as it fulfils Apocalyptic scripture leading us to Armageddon. If it were a natural population exponential growth would be impossible as the birth and death rates would keep pace. Putting SEVEN billion people on the Earth brings in the SEVEN headed monster mentioned in the Bible. What it says in the Talmud and Torah is something for those who understand Yiddish and Hebrew. However simple Military logic and logistics takes the smallest viable gene pool as a global model. So we take a look at a crime and vice free self-sustainable Pacific island with a population of only 2000 and apply this model to the entire planet. This island would have ONE language and ONE currency, if money were really necessary. It would have NO space program and NO ABC WMD. Nor would there be any politics or sectarianism. It should be warm and temperate. Anyone see where this is going? Unhappily it is known that the Mayan calendar date for the end of this creation is the 21st December 2012. Logically dates should be written small ( day) bigger (month) biggest (year). So that is the 21/12/12 and 2+1+1+2+1+2 = 9. This is significant because this creation started out from the Egyptian model with the Great Ennead of Council Of Nine. This was Atum (Atom) Shu-Tefnut (Married pair and molecule.) Geb (The Earth and all earthly things.) Nut (The sky and all things above us.) Osiris (The male quality.) Isis (The female bird/fish 'woman' and the female quality.) Set (The murderer of Osiris who dismembered/butchered him.) and Nephthys. The 21/12/12 when written 21/12/2012 = 11 from the song 1 is 1 and all alone and ever more shall be so. At this time it will be the 8th TeVeT 5773 in the Hebcal calendar. The significance is that the 8 represents infinity turned 90°. Eve is derived from splitting infinity using an A for A-dam (adding an e makes this A-dame so is 'female'.) The A has the crossbar ('rib') removed and is inverted to give a V for Vulva and Vulgate. The 8 is then split from A-pex to B-ase using the V as the double edged sword of Armageddon (and Orion) to give 3V3 (You need to reverse the first 3. This gives us 33° as in Freemasonry. (George Washington for example.) 3V3 is an approximation of eVe and gives us Eve. In this process Adam has been inverted or turned into a V ... The 5773 is also significant as 5+7+7+3 = 22 as in Catch 22 (Two ducks and Duck Soup.) A 'duck' is a score of 0. The 5 represents the five fingers and the claw, the pentagram and the devil. The first 7 represents the first Armageddon 65.5 million years ago. (K-T extinction.) The second 7 represents the second coming (The close passage of Mars on the 29th October 2005), The second extinction or second death. (Earth is the 'big brother' to Mars as Mars is the smaller planet.) (Mars / Nibiru are the same. Brown dwarf is Mars again when it is far away from the Earth as it was on the 18th September 2004. The 3 represents the 'Power of Three' Three Wise Men (The Magi(c)) Three Stooges, The Father, Son and Holy Ghost. (Holy = Hole-e as it is a religious sound alike. So what to do? I can only suggest that we downsize all countries, but this is NOT obvious as there are very many supernatural occurrences and these cannot necessarily be controlled successfully. We can only try. But this is now akin to a damage limitation exercise. ianchattan @ yahoo.com NATO SIS 19/10/2011 There is a slide show available in 7-Zip format which demonstrates the Mars passage. Just E-mail me. You'll need to install the free 7-Zip program to open the file. Don't forget to check for virus before opening. |

Hey GW,
Last December you deleted Bravo (supermarket) citing CSD A7. Is there a chance you could userfy the article for me. While the article may have needed cleanup in terms of asserting notability, there's no doubt in my mind that a supermarket chain with dozens of stores in the highly populated northeastern US and the southeast is notable. It seems that the article should have been cleaned up, not deleted, but that's just me. oknazevad ( talk) 00:23, 28 October 2011 (UTC)
Invitation from the
Guild of Copy Editors
The Guild of Copy Editors invites you to participate in their November 2011 Backlog elimination drive, a month-long effort to reduce the size of the copy edit backlog. The drive begins on November 1 at 00:00 (UTC) and ends on November 30 at 23:59 (UTC). We will be tracking the number of 2010 articles (and specifically will be targeting the oldest three months), as we want to copy edit as many of these as possible. Barnstars will be awarded to anyone who copy edits more than 4,000 words, and special awards will be given to the top 5 in the following categories: "Number of articles", "Number of words", and "Number of articles of over 5,000 words". We hope to see you there! – Your drive coordinators: Diannaa, Chaosdruid, The Utahraptor, Slon02, and SMasters. |

Guild of Copy Editors March 2011 backlog elimination drive report
Greetings from the
Guild of Copy Editors
March 2011 Backlog elimination drive. Thank you for participating in the March 2011 drive! This newsletter summarizes the March drive and other recent events.
There were 99 signups for the drive; of these, 70 participated. Interest was high mainly due to a link to our event from the Watchlist page. We had a record-breaking 84 articles listed on the Requests page in March; 11 of these have been promoted to Good article status so far. Several of our recent efforts have received Featured Article status as well, and the GOCE is becoming a solid resource for the Wikipedia community. Many thanks to editors who have been helping out at the Requests page and by copy editing articles from the backlog.
Remarkable progress was made in reducing the backlog this month, as we now have fewer than 500 articles remaining from 2009. We are well under the 4,000-article mark for the total number remaining in the queue. Since our backlog drives began in May 2010 with 8,323 articles, we have cleared more than 53% 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 April drive has started.
On March 21, SMasters appointed Chaosdruid ( talk) and Torchiest ( talk) as Guild coordinators to serve in place of The Utahraptor, who recently stepped down. Please feel free to contact any coordinator if you have any questions or need assistance. Your drive coordinators – S Masters ( talk), Diannaa ( Talk) and Tea with toast ( Talk) |

Hey gorilla, you said you were an administrator. What are you doing on an obscure webpage in the middle of the night? Not only that you are using a bot. You have no idea who i am. I don't know the rules here yet, but I was called to testify against billy boy gates in congress. Yep. the name is Dr. (a real one) Valerie B. Kaiser, MD and I own a privately owned and secured internet language that can cut butter. Bill wanted it for 300,000,000.00 to start the MSN network which would have put him in control of YOU. My partner and I said NO. She does what you do. I think. My undergrad degree was in physics with a 4.0. Guess what I have? GERSTMANN SYDROME. YOU are a fool working for people who are just trying to stop something they cannot. You know what that is, or maybe you do not. But I put all pretty pictures of all your sites, mr administrator, (did not say I could spell) on the pages of the real people who run this show.

You changed the article on Constructed Wetlands ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constructed_wetland) to remove contrary information that I provided that shows wetlands are not all good. That included, from memory, a link that showed this. This link ( http://www.sccwrp.org/ResearchAreas/Wetlands/WetlandEcologyAndBiogeochemistry/UrbanWetlands/HabitatValueOfNaturalAndConstuctedWetlands.aspx)asks three questions: "1) Do natural or constructed wetlands used for treatment of urban runoff become environmental hazards for wildlife?
2) How does directing urban runoff or stormwater through a natural or constructed wetland affect the habitat quality of the wetland?
a) What is the potential that changes to a wetland’s physical or chemical structure will affect the ecological health of the wetland, in terms of its ability to support a diverse and healthy assemblage of typical wetland flora and fauna?
b) How do potential changes in wetland physical and chemical structure impact the biological communities dependent on these wetlands, and are these impacts severe enough to be of concern?
c) To what extent does the intentional manipulation of hydrologic regime, site morphology, and wetland biota (to maximize water treatment capacity) detract from the habitat value of the wetland?
3) How do considerations of the habitat effects of treatment wetlands differ by wetland class (e.g., how are the issues different for riverine vs. palustrine or lacustrine wetlands)?"
And states: "Adequate research does not exist to address the three central questions above." and "Documented examples exist showing potential incompatibility between water quality and habitat goals in wetlands. Overall, the literature reviewed suggests that concerns of risk to wildlife are valid, but because these studies were not specifically designed to address this question, the degree of risk is unknown."
These are valid points and people should be made aware of them.

Hello, GW, I'm here needing help with the Aawjgnekr Vandal. First of all, don't be surprised I'm choosing you to contact about this.
I have recently dealt with Aawjgnekr Junior and Freddyfreak1997, Who might be sock puppets of Aawjgnekr ( verify). I've also previously dealt with Netgerr, TomBellBomb, and Sawjan (If these external links aren't working, please see me). One recreated the hoax page Controlisable, another Chase oliver(Difference between capitalization). You may also be wondering if Freddyfreaks 1998 and 99. They might be, but I think we should leave that matter for later. I just need help. Please contact me as soon as possible. AlfredoRego ( talk) 20:26, 26 April 2011 (UTC)

I've noticed that you were hunting down this user's changes on articles. It really seems this user is doing it for fun, for the most part.
I have taken interest in his activity as well, so I too will pay attention to his edits. I just love the feeling of reverting a vandal, and then watching them post the same garbage again. HAHAHA.
BTW, love the name.
SelfEx1led ( talk) 09:34, 1 May 2011 (UTC)
Oh. I'm simply patrolling manually. But I noticed that you were on top of his edits (as a result of the program). Funny stuff.
Though I could warn the vandal, I don't want to be someone who's "bossy", which is why I've never used the templates. For someone like me who isn't an admin of some sort, threatening him to get him blocked seems kind of like an empty promise. *Shrugs*
SelfEx1led ( talk) 18:18, 1 May 2011 (UTC)
That makes sense. I think with your explanation it might convince me to use the templates. The other patrollers might get a better reason to get that user blocked (because it seems to require a lot of patience for other admins to take action on a user - something Wikipedia is very good with).
How fast does Huggle work on new edits? How does it work? I like the feeling of manually patrolling - because it gives me a physical feel that I'm "hunting".
SelfEx1led ( talk) 01:36, 2 May 2011 (UTC)
Wow! Thanks for the info! Based on what you wrote, I have zero reason to do this manually. The fact that you can report a user that quickly is a huge bonus. Finding mods to report to manually is a pain.
I'll definitely try it out. Thanks.
SelfEx1led ( talk) 07:11, 2 May 2011 (UTC)
This seems very complicated, but I will check it out. I don't understand what the difference is between Twinkle and Huggle, since Twinkle seems to have rollback features built-in apparently (unless I'm severely mistakened). Since you seem to know a lot about the two, could you please explain?
Thanks!

Hi, not too sure how this whole wiki things works, but I saw that you actually left a positive comment in the talk page for the Erik Brunetti article. The text & photos that were deemed copyright are all from the artist at the source. It's frustrating to not be able to add that text as is or even the photos... Can you help with that? thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.168.17.15 ( talk) 01:04, 27 May 2011 (UTC)

Hi GorillaWarfare. I'm approaching you since you were the one that blocked 89.242.247.32 for 3RR (although I think the block could have been for personal attack just as well, or frankly, for vandalism). First, note that it is the same account as FASHIONKING17, they both have exactly the same edits for Bros and Shutter Shades. But more importantly, that IP is avoiding the block by using 89.242.242.245, again, the same two edits here and here. Best regards. -- Muhandes ( talk) 08:43, 13 June 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for your valuable help and information. I would of course be more than willing to revise the article at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Nicoleseowhat/Ranowear to fit your guidelines. I do have one question. We hired an outside service simply because we are unfamiliar with Wikipedia procedures and our learning curve might slow things down. Would it still be possible to hire another writer as an editor with specific instructions to adopt a neutral point of view and follow the guidelines as outlined in your note specifically as regards to sourcing and inclusion of any relevant negative information? And of course I would like the article to be userfied again. However, as you mentioned a time factor once it is userfied, should we wait on that until we're ready to do proper edits? Thanks.

Hi, this is Awawawawoo, and I just recently altered the Deism page, but the change I made keeps getting undone by another user called PTJoshua. He stated that my edit was "vandalism". I was wondering about how he defines vandalism, as I stated my reason for removing the quote- namely, its debated, controversial nature. I haven't used wikipedia much (other than as an information source), but I was prompted by a friend to look up Deism, and when I saw something that struck me as odd and went into the article's discussion about it, found there was already a debate taking place and that even people in the wikipedia community found the statement which caught my eye to be more pinion than fact. So...why is my edit being repeatedly undone? I feel it is entirely legitimate, and lends more credence to the article as a whole. I'm not too good at editing on here, but here's the user who altered what I removed, who I see you've spoken with on here before: http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=User:PTJoshua&action=edit&redlink=1 Here's the page I edited. I removed the quote at the end of the second full paragraph: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deism And here is the discussion of that single sentence, which I deemed too opinionated to appear in the introduction of this article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Deism I contributed in the discussion about the founders at the very end of the section titled "Deism in the U.S." My biggest question is, why isn't there a separate section discussing this quote about the founding fathers, possibly titled "Deism in the U.S." instead of a statement, made as though it is fact, appearing at the top of the entire article discussing Deism itself? Inappropriate, IMO, and I don't understand why my edit keeps getting defined here by another user as "vandalism". Thanks for reading. :) Awawawawoo. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Awawawawoo ( talk • contribs) 00:07, 22 June 2011 (UTC)
What I said is true. The comment above that one said this: "A few points of clarification. I think that, here at wikipedia, our personal assessment of a particular source often needs to be held in check. Your assessment of Frazer's interpretation of Jefferson's statement is different from mine. It seems to me that Jefferson's words clearly indicate a general belief in God's involvement in human affairs. Frazer's work has an entire chapter, not a "vague sentence" on Jefferson's religious views. For the article, lengthy discussion is not appropriate, so I presented Frazer's strongest single piece of evidence, which is usually ignored by the "Jefferson-was-a-Deist" camp. Secondly, I was not disputing Enlightenment influence on the American founders, but rather the threefold connection of Deism, Enlightenment, and the American founding. I have read May's book, as well as many other books relating to Enlightenment philosophy, American colonial education, and the lives and thinking of the founders, including lesser-known founders like Witherspoon, Wythe, and Wilson. The Americans were much more likely to read theists like Shaftesbury and Hutcheson, for example, than Voltaire or Rousseau. There were cross-currents in the Enlightenment, so the vague, unsourced statement linking Deism, the Enlightenment, and the American founders seems to be not only against wikipedia policy, but also misleading and unhelpful. --Other Choices"
This user seems much better informed over all. And there are several comments above that one, and the one you quoted I found to be the least informative and the most opinionated. Phrases like "Republican rant book" and claiming, without referencing anything in specific, that said book(s) isn't properly research, or however they put it, is perfectly meaningless. All they gave was a political opinion, when you boil down the substance. And this statement: "several of the founding fathers were Deists" is also opinion, based on the fact that there are history books that contradict each other on the subject. And if you read all the comments back and forth on the page you referenced, you'll see that there is a discussion taking place. That's what prompted the comment you quoted in the first place, after all. So I'm not sure how what I wrote earlier is untrue.
Wow, thanks for replying! :) I didn't know about the 3 revert rule, thanks for letting me know. That's partly why I posted here, to find out about the rules. I guess I'll continue discussing this with PTJoshua, then. I think he's checking up here, so I'll just put up a book I googled pretty fast, titled "Founding Faith: Providence, Politics, and the Birth of Religious Freedom in America" by by Steven Waldman. I particularly liked a quote from one of the editorial reviews of the book: “Steven Waldman does a great job describing the nuances of the Founders’ beliefs and the balances they struck, thus rescuing them from those on both sides who would oversimplify their ideas.” –Walter Isaacson, president of the Aspen Institute and author of Benjamin Franklin: An American Life. Anywho, when I googled "Founding fathers deism amazon" (or it may have been "founding fathers deist amazon") many different books came up which argued both sides of the "most of the founders are deists" argument. All I've said is that the statement that it is widely accepted that most of the founders are deists is highly debated, and thus not appropriate in the introductory paragraphs of a wikipedia article on Deism. Thanks! Woops, here's the book link: http://www.amazon.com/Founding-Faith-Providence-Politics-Religious/dp/1400064376/ref=sr_1_3?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1308784968&sr=1-3

I've also noticed this with your AIV reports. In general it's important to go through all the warnings before you put down the final warning, and to only use vandalism warnings and AIV reports for obvious vandalism. In some cases you reported editors who were just confused newbies making content edits you disagreed with. We're really glad you want to help, but the best way to help is to use vandalism warnings within their narrow scope. -- causa sui ( talk) 03:11, 24 June 2011 (UTC)
I hope I put this in the right spot. I'm new to Wikipedia, so please be patient with me. I believe you are the administrator who deleted the page "Pixilated Theory" and via the Wikipedia rules, I'm contacting you before requesting undeletion. I wish to contest the speedy deletion of this article as this group is quite well known in the Midwest and the article was not given a fair review in the article discussion section. I joined for the mere creation of this article (and possibly others in the future I hope, but if you treat everybody's contributions like this, I probably will not contribute) as I have been waiting years for some else to do it, as I know several people who will attest that this group is what Wikipedia considers to be of "Notable" status. I would like to know why the information I provide as sources (which met the guidelines of Wikipedia, which I mentioned on the talk page and was ignored) for notability were ignored.

Aloha!
My name is Victor and I work with the Wikimedia Foundation, the non-profit organization that supports Wikipedia. We're exploring new ways to explain why Wikipedia is so special and we’ve started a Wikipedia Stories Project, where we’re chronicling the inspiring stories of the Wikipedia community around the world, including those from readers, editors, and donors. Stories are absolutely essential for any non-profit to persuade new people to support the cause, and we know the vast network of people who use Wikipedia have so much to share.
Thus far, Wikipedia has largely relied upon personal appeals from founder Jimmy Wales to drive our annual fundraising efforts. While effective, these appeals don't convey the incredible diversity of people who've come to rely upon Wikipedia every day.
I'd really like the opportunity to interview you to tell your story, with the possibility of using it in our materials, on our community websites, or as part of this year’s fundraiser to encourage others to support Wikipedia.
I'm hoping you will elaborate on your story with me by email, phone, Skype, Facebook or whatever way you like. Please let me know if you're inclined to take part in the Wikipedia Stories Project and we'll set up a good time to discuss further.
Thank you,
Victor

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". |

Hi, when temporarily uploading images here from Commons for use on the main page, such as File:After the war a medal and maybe a job2.jpg today, is it usual to upload a reduced-size version? The version on Commons is 5,042 × 3,355 pixels, but the version temporarily uploaded here is only 800 × 532 pixels. It seems like that would reduce main page visitors' ability to enjoy the image in its full glory, though of course it makes the loading time for the main page faster.

Hello GW, I was curious about something. My user page has only been vandalized once, but I'm wondering if it could be semi-protected. The reason for this is that I have caused some users to get mad at me for reverting their edits that were unconstructive, or did not need to be done, or whatever, (as you can see here) and my user page could be a target of vandalism from users like that. Also there are other reasons I want my user page semi-protected. The reason I did not request this at RFPP is because some random admins that are not familiar with me might not understand why or whatever. Plus, I've already recently made two requests there. I thought it would be better to ask an admin I'd talked to before. Anyway I'm wondering if an indefinite semi could be done to my user page. Atterion Talk• Contribs 22:42, 26 July 2011 (UTC)

Even though it's been quiet on-wiki, the Wikipedia Ambassador Program has been busy over the last few months getting ready for the next term. We're heading toward over 80 classes in the US, across all disciplines. You'll see courses start popping up here, and this time we want to match one or more Online Ambassadors to each class based on interest or expertise in the subject matter. If you see a class that you're interested, please contact the professor and/or me; the sooner the Ambassadors and professors get in communication, the better things go. Look for more in the coming weeks about next term.
In the meantime, with a little help I've identified all the articles students did significant work on in the last term. Many of the articles have never been assessed, or have ratings that are out of date from before the students improved them. Please help assess them! Pick a class, or just a few articles, and give them a rating (and add a relevant WikiProject banner if there isn't one), and then update the list of articles.
Once we have updated assessments for all these articles, we can get a better idea of how quality varied from course to course, and which approaches to running Wikipedia assignments and managing courses are most effective.

MY user page says in categories (@ the bottom) that I live in Europe and Macedonia. I dont live in Europe I live in Australia. Is there anyway of changing this? Please answer on my talkpage Macedoniarulez ( talk) 00:55, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
Hello! If you're planning to be an active Online Ambassador for the upcoming academic term, now is the time to join one or more pods. (A pod consists of the instructor, the Campus Ambassadors, and the Online Ambassadors for single class.) The Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) explains the expectations for being part of a pod as an Online Ambassador. (The MOU for pods in Canada is essentially the same.) In short, the role of Online Ambassadors this term consists of:
This replaces the 1-on-1 mentoring role for Online Ambassadors that we had in previous terms; rather than being responsible for individual students (some of whom don't want or help or are unresponsive), Online Ambassadors will be there to help whichever students in their class(es) ask for help.
You can browse the upcoming courses here: United States; Canada. More are being added as new pods become active and create their course pages.
Once you've found a class that you want to work with—especially if you some interest or expertise in the topic area—you should sign the MOU listing for that class and get in touch with the instructor. We're hoping to have at least two Online Ambassadors per pod, and more for the larger classes.
If you're up for supporting any kind of class and would like me to assign you to a pod in need of more Online Ambassadors, just let me know.

Invitation from the
Guild of Copy Editors
The Guild of Copy Editors invites you to participate in their September 2011 Backlog elimination drive, a month-long effort to reduce the size of the copy editing backlog. The drive will begin on September 1 at 00:00 (UTC) and will end on September 30 at 23:59 (UTC). We will be tracking the number of 2010 articles in the backlog, as we want to copy edit as many of those as possible. Please consider copy editing an article that was tagged in 2010. 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". See you at the drive! – Your drive coordinators: Diannaa, Chaosdruid, The Utahraptor, Slon02, and SMasters. |

I saw your work on this article. It was actually deleted last year. Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Zeena Schreck. However there was little participation in that AFD and the new version clearly has less fluff and more sources (though the new citations are a bit weak), so there's no reason I can see to speedy delete it. The editor who created it and related articles seems to be a serious fan, with access to obscure sources. IIRC, the old article had problems with various factions arguing over who created or led which groups. I hope it's less of a problem this time around. Will Beback talk 21:14, 30 August 2011 (UTC)

Hello GorillaWarfare, could you please lend a hand with my, continuing problems with getting a new article up, origionally I tried to post Gop resignation letter in the main article but was given a whole list of reasons why that would not work, each one I had an answer to - when I chose to go an alterante route it was shut down in an instant Kjmonkey has been the editor that I have the most problems with -
collect has nominated this for deletion, and he has also refused to use the words Crony capitalism in any article about Rick Perry, but that is a different issue.
lastly I see that you use a secure name of real person signature, if you see my talk page on Rick Perry, I have suggested that edits to Political canidiates only be edited with actual persons to confirm that they are not connected financially or employed by (Wiki policy) or happen to be a foreign national Federal Election Commision policy.
I have to lead by example and need to get my own real life idenity up soon if I am to have any crediablity in this reguard.
Lastly do you remember this,
http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2011/mar/17/us-spy-operation-social-networks
Military's 'sock puppet' software creates fake online identities to spread pro-American propaganda
The article of course notes the use of fake accounts for American purposes and I believe naturally that other countries could use the same tactic to influence American elections

Hello, Ambassadors!
I wanted to give you one last update on where we are this term, before my role as Online Facilitator wraps up at the end of this week. Already, there are over 800 students in U.S. classes who have signed up on course pages this term. About 40 classes are active, and we're expecting that many more again once all the classes are up and running.
On a personal note, it's been a huge honor to work with so many great Wikipedians over the last 15 months. Thanks so much to everyone who jumped in and decided to give the ambassador concept a try, and double thanks those of you who were involved early on. Your ideas and insights and enthusiasm have been the foundation of the program, and they will be the keys the future of the program.
Still waiting to get involved with a class this term, or ready to take on more? We have seven classes that are already active and need OA support, and eleven more that have course pages started but don't have active students yet. Please consider joining one or more of these pods!
Active courses that really need Online Ambassadors:
Courses that may be active soon that need Online Ambassadors:

Hi GorillaWarfare!
I have put together a survey for female editors of Wikipedia (and related projects) in order to explore, in greater detail, women's experiences and roles within the Wikimedia movement. It'd be wonderful if you could participate!
It's an independent survey, done by me, as a fellow volunteer Wikimedian. It is not being done on behalf of the Wikimedia Foundation. I hope you'll participate!
Just click this link to participate in this survey, via Google!
Any questions or concerns, feel free to email me or stop by my user talk page. Also, feel free to share this any other female Wikimedians you may know. It is in English, but any language Wikimedia participants are encouraged to participate. I appreciate your contributions - to the survey and to Wikipedia! Thank you!

Hi GorillaWarfare, I've finally been shamed into creating User:WereSpielChequers/Recall (Pedro named me in his, so I realised I really ought to have one myself).

If so just edit it and move your name out of the hidden bit. Ϣere SpielChequers 21:27, 29 September 2011 (UTC)

Could you please, please, please immediately "unprotect" or "unblock" Genetics and archaeogenetics of South Asia so that me and Andrew Lancaster can go in and edit it? Yes, I have left messages on the talk page of the protecting admin, but he hasn't responded as he is on a prolonged vacation. Doing this would harmonize and bring up-to-date all of the articles on South Asian population genetics, so that everybody has freely available and accurate info. Muchas, muchas gracias.

Well sorry, I didn't know that. And btw, I was a newby, so I wasn't familiar with the proper protocol in getting something accomplished around here. Can't fault me for that. Besides, I only edit warred once, with somebody who should have known better. And guess what? Almost all of the changes I proposed have been accepted. So what does that tell you? What does a fellow have to do to get something done around here?

Regarding the end of the world, etc. (Collapsed to save space)
|
---|
Contrary to Camping's suggested end of the World scenario we have deduced this much.
REMEMBER Logic and logistics ALONE would say that there should be no more than 2000 people in each country. ARMY of 1000 Logistical Appraisal 1953. With regards to an Apocalyptic Global Overpopulation Scenario. (Yahoo Article on the Norwegian Prime Minister.) 19/10/2011 My reply. Too obvious to be true really but the real question is why? Population has increased exponentially and this is KNOWN to be supernatural as it fulfils Apocalyptic scripture leading us to Armageddon. If it were a natural population exponential growth would be impossible as the birth and death rates would keep pace. Putting SEVEN billion people on the Earth brings in the SEVEN headed monster mentioned in the Bible. What it says in the Talmud and Torah is something for those who understand Yiddish and Hebrew. However simple Military logic and logistics takes the smallest viable gene pool as a global model. So we take a look at a crime and vice free self-sustainable Pacific island with a population of only 2000 and apply this model to the entire planet. This island would have ONE language and ONE currency, if money were really necessary. It would have NO space program and NO ABC WMD. Nor would there be any politics or sectarianism. It should be warm and temperate. Anyone see where this is going? Unhappily it is known that the Mayan calendar date for the end of this creation is the 21st December 2012. Logically dates should be written small ( day) bigger (month) biggest (year). So that is the 21/12/12 and 2+1+1+2+1+2 = 9. This is significant because this creation started out from the Egyptian model with the Great Ennead of Council Of Nine. This was Atum (Atom) Shu-Tefnut (Married pair and molecule.) Geb (The Earth and all earthly things.) Nut (The sky and all things above us.) Osiris (The male quality.) Isis (The female bird/fish 'woman' and the female quality.) Set (The murderer of Osiris who dismembered/butchered him.) and Nephthys. The 21/12/12 when written 21/12/2012 = 11 from the song 1 is 1 and all alone and ever more shall be so. At this time it will be the 8th TeVeT 5773 in the Hebcal calendar. The significance is that the 8 represents infinity turned 90°. Eve is derived from splitting infinity using an A for A-dam (adding an e makes this A-dame so is 'female'.) The A has the crossbar ('rib') removed and is inverted to give a V for Vulva and Vulgate. The 8 is then split from A-pex to B-ase using the V as the double edged sword of Armageddon (and Orion) to give 3V3 (You need to reverse the first 3. This gives us 33° as in Freemasonry. (George Washington for example.) 3V3 is an approximation of eVe and gives us Eve. In this process Adam has been inverted or turned into a V ... The 5773 is also significant as 5+7+7+3 = 22 as in Catch 22 (Two ducks and Duck Soup.) A 'duck' is a score of 0. The 5 represents the five fingers and the claw, the pentagram and the devil. The first 7 represents the first Armageddon 65.5 million years ago. (K-T extinction.) The second 7 represents the second coming (The close passage of Mars on the 29th October 2005), The second extinction or second death. (Earth is the 'big brother' to Mars as Mars is the smaller planet.) (Mars / Nibiru are the same. Brown dwarf is Mars again when it is far away from the Earth as it was on the 18th September 2004. The 3 represents the 'Power of Three' Three Wise Men (The Magi(c)) Three Stooges, The Father, Son and Holy Ghost. (Holy = Hole-e as it is a religious sound alike. So what to do? I can only suggest that we downsize all countries, but this is NOT obvious as there are very many supernatural occurrences and these cannot necessarily be controlled successfully. We can only try. But this is now akin to a damage limitation exercise. ianchattan @ yahoo.com NATO SIS 19/10/2011 There is a slide show available in 7-Zip format which demonstrates the Mars passage. Just E-mail me. You'll need to install the free 7-Zip program to open the file. Don't forget to check for virus before opening. |

Hey GW,
Last December you deleted Bravo (supermarket) citing CSD A7. Is there a chance you could userfy the article for me. While the article may have needed cleanup in terms of asserting notability, there's no doubt in my mind that a supermarket chain with dozens of stores in the highly populated northeastern US and the southeast is notable. It seems that the article should have been cleaned up, not deleted, but that's just me. oknazevad ( talk) 00:23, 28 October 2011 (UTC)
