- Vanderdecken, thanks for populating my user page with good to know information. I am having much fun browsing the wikipedia namespace, slowly learning as I go. I am hoping that you see this message but am not sure how you will know to do so. Please do enlighten me. Sultec ( talk) 09:48, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
- After browsing about more I think I need to send you a talkback message. I will do so in hopes you tell me if I'm doing it right. --

- Hey Sultec - unless there's a specific reason to keep it in one place, conversations between users like this are usually conducted between two talk pages. In this case, I post something on your talk page, you post a reply at the bottom of mine, in a new section, I post a reply on yours etc. You can use : at the beginning of a line to indent it one level - multiple :s generate multiple indents. The same goes for * to make bullet points and # to make a numbered list. Like I said, when messages go between talk pages, there's usually little need for that talk notice. It's good to see you've got the hang of signing your name - many new users seem to fail to grasp that for a while. Some users add the talk pages of people who they correspond with to the user's watchlist - that way, even if you reply on your own talk page the other user can see that you have. See you around. — Vanderdecken∴ ∫ ξ φ 20:04, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
What does xfd stand for? Glossary says it's a generic term for deletion. That doesn't tell me what the initials stand for. -- Sultec ( talk) 00:06, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
- Hi! "X for Deletion", where X can be articles, images, templates, etc... :-) Stwalkerster [ talk ] 00:09, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
- Hey there. The "fd" stands for "for deletion". The "x" stands for whatever it is. If it's an article, it's AfD; an image, IFD; a template, TfD; a category, CfD. Regards, Matthewedwards ( talk • contribs • email) 00:12, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
Hey, Sultec. I saw your comment on JodyB's talk page, asking if he'd be willing to mentor you. Unfortunately, Jody is on an extended wikibreak and hasn't edited since May. If you're still interested in finding someone, take a look at Wikipedia:Adopt-a-User/Adoptee's Area/Adopters for a list of editors who are willing to take somebody on. Good luck! - auburnpilot talk 21:14, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
Sorry it's taken so long to get back to you, hectic week with school in a few days etc. To address the SUL template first: the reason is that both it and the barnstar are designed to 'float' - this means they shuffle themselves around the page and try to fit together compactly without large areas of space - obviously this is not what you want in this situation. There is a template that can help you here - called, helpfully, {{ -}}. It creates an invisible line across the page and does not allow anything to cross it - if you put the code for the SUL template immediately below {{ -}}, it will start below the line, and won't shuffle up to fit above it. Think of it like resetting the alignments to one start point. It can also be used on pages to stop things overlapping. It's often used at the end of a section in an article to prevent images from that section overlapping the header of the next one. You want to place it one line above the SUL template.
Your second query - I undid your edit as you didn't give any justification, and it was verified and source information that you removed. — Vanderdecken∴ ∫ ξ φ 15:55, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

In the article/stub Integrated criminal justice information system You added an uncat tag but there was a category Criminal law stubs. Since I'm a new editor I don't understand the reason for the uncat tag. -- Sultec ( talk) 01:11, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
- That category is just a maintenance category and will disappear automatically as soon as the stub tag is removed. The article also needs to be put into a permanent category, such as Category:Criminal law or one of its sub-categories. Hope that helps!-- Fabrictramp | talk to me 18:28, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

To be honest, I'm not entirely sure. You might need to ask at the project page, or indeed the editor that added that wording. At a guess. I's hazard that it's in part project advertising, and in part, by way of documentation of such edits. Alai ( talk) 14:33, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
Why do stubs need more categorization if they already have a category stub?
- Because of the huge number of articles on wikipedia that are stub sized, we need more specific tags to help index and categorize all the various articles. See also

- Seems like a clumsy mechanism to have to go through a stub twice, once to categorize as a stub, then go back and put a regular category tage. --

- Why are stub categories not "proper"? -- Lenoxus 15:41, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
- Because as soon as the article is expanded, the stub template will be removed and the stub category will disappear with it. Every article needs permanent categories that aren't dependent on stub (or any other) status. -- Tkynerd 16:15, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

I've tried installing User:ais523/stubtagtab.js with mixed results. It does put an extra tab on an article page (only, doesn't work in user page sandbox) allowing you to enter a stub category via a popup box. The script seems to suggest that it should give more options but I'm not seeing that action.
- stubtagtab is very simple, no options or anything, just the popup box. stubtagtab2.js is the one which has menus of stub tags; most people prefer that one instead. -- ais523 14:31, 22 September 2008 ( U T C)

Sultec (

- All
templates, in fact any page on Wikipedia can be included on a page by putting two curly brackets (
{{ }}) around the page name. Wikipedia will assume you're including a template though, so to include, say the article Google on a page, you'd use{{:Google}}to tell Wikipedia Google's in the article space. If you wanted to include my user page on a page, you'd use{{User:Matt.T}}. There are more practical uses though, for example on my talk page and user page I have a menu at the top. I've included this by inserting{{User:Matt.T/Menu}}at the top of each of those pages. Instead of having to update each page (my user page and my talk page) when I want to change the menu, I can update User:Matt.T/Menu and those changes will be displayed on my user page and talk page automatically. There's some cases where you should usesubst:in between the first set of curly brackets and the page name to basically copy and paste code (ie:{{subst:User:Matt.T/Menu}}). Situations where you'd usesubst:are explained here. I hope this helps, if you have any more questions feel free to ask on my talk page or insert{{helpme}}on your user talk.

I noticed you added your name to the list of participants in WikiProject Orphanage. We really appreciate your help! The first things you could do to get started with us are:
- Read the Wikipedia:WikiProject Orphanage page, especially the section marked " Criteria". The page contains a lot of good advice to get you started, as well as the standard procedures we are using to de-orphan articles.
- Look at {{ orphan}},{{ do-attempt}}, and {{ articleissues}} closely and make sure you know how to use them correctly. (It's not difficult, but it is easy to screw up. Trust me, I have.)
- Keep de-orphaning! Category:Orphaned articles contains all orphaned articles organized by month. Right now we're just trying to keep up with all the new orphans being created, so please start with the current monthly category. Once those are cleared out, we can start working on the backlog in reverse-chronological order.
- Of course, you may have already known all of this, in which case sorry for the spam. Either way, let me know if there's any way I can help you contribute more to the project!

- On the original page. For instance, if the page went from X to Y to Z, X is a double redirect because it points to Y, which points to Z, and you'd have to put that on X so it points straight to Z.

Hi, I'd like to invite you to participate in the Guild of Copy Editors July 2010 Backlog Elimination Drive. In May, about 30 editors helped remove the {{copyedit}} tag from 1175 articles. The backlog is still over 7500 articles, and extends back to the beginning of 2008! We really need your help to reduce it. Copyediting just a couple articles can qualify you for a barnstar. Serious copyeditors can win prestigious and exclusive rewards. See the event page for more information. And thanks for your consideration. ɳorɑfʈ Talk! 15:22, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

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!

Backlog Elimination Drive!
The Wikipedia Guild of Copy-Editors invites you to participate in the November 2010 Backlog Elimination Drive, a month-long effort to reduce the backlog of articles that require copy-editing. The drive will begin on 1 November at 00:00 (UTC) and will end on 30 November at 23:59 (UTC). The goal for this drive is to reduce the backlog by 10% (approximately 500 articles). We hope to focus our efforts on the oldest three months (January, February, and March 2009) and the newest three months (September, October, and November 2010) of articles in the queue. Sign-up has already begun at the November drive page, and will be open throughout the drive. If you have any questions or concerns, please leave a message on the drive's talk page. Before you begin copy-editing, please carefully read the instructions on the main drive page. Please make sure that you know how to copy-edit, and be familiar with the Wikipedia Manual of Style. Awards and barnstars A range of barnstars will be awarded to active participants, some of which are exclusive to GOCE drives. More information on awards can be found on the main drive page. Thank you; we look forward to meeting you on the drive! |
Greetings from the
Guild of Copy Editors
Backlog Elimination Drive!
We have reached the midway point in our backlog elimination drive, so here is an update. Participation report — The November drive has 53 participants at this point. We had 77 participants in the September drive. In July, 95 people signed up for the drive, and in May we had 36. If you are not participating, it is not too late to join! Progress report — The drive is quite successful so far, as we have already almost reached our target of a 10% reduction in the number of articles in the backlog. We are doing very well at keeping our Requests page clear, as those articles count double for word count for this drive. Please keep in mind the possibility of removing other tags when you are finished with an article. If the article no longer needs {{ cleanup}}, {{ wikify}}, or other similar maintenance tags, please remove them, as this will make the tasks of other WikiProjects easier to complete. Thanks very much for participating in the Drive, and see you at the finish line!

Greetings from the

January 2011 Backlog elimination drive! The drive is halfway over, so here are some mid-drive stats. 
 So far, 43 people have signed up for this drive. Of these, 25 have participated. If you signed up for the drive but haven't participated yet, it's not too late! Try to copy edit at least a few articles. Remember, if you have rollover words from the last drive, you will lose them if you do not participate in this drive. If you haven't signed up for the drive yet, you can
sign up now.
We have eliminated two months from the backlog – January and February 2009. One of our goals is to eliminate as many months as possible from the 2009 backlog. Please help us reduce the size of this part of the backlog if you haven't already. Another goal is to reduce the entire backlog by 10%, or by 515 articles. Currently, we have eliminated 375 articles from the queue, so if each participant copy edits four more articles, we will reach that goal. Thank you for participating in the January 2011 drive. We anticipate it will be another big success! Your drive coordinators – S Masters ( talk), Diannaa ( Talk), The Utahraptor Talk to me, and Tea with toast ( Talk) |

The goal is to eliminate the backlog of orphan articles. There are currently 59120 articles which have orphan tags. The drive is running from April 12, 2014 to May 12, 2014.
Awards will be given out for all editors participating in the drive in the form of barnstars at the end of the drive. To add your name in the participants list click

Suggestions for how to de-orphan an article to know more!
Hello everyone! I was just working on responding to a couple bug reports for a script that I worked up as part of a request from this project, and I noticed that only a couple people (who weren't even on this mailing list) are actually using the script. A little history on the script: In March of 2014, Jim Cartar came to my user talk page and said he needed some help in acquiring a script for a backlog drive that he was working on that could keep track of and score deOrphanings for a scored backlog drive. I took that request to the project's talk page ( BackLog Drive "DO" (De-Orphaning) script proposal) and there was near unanimous support for this. I thought about the proposal and decided the best way to do it was to build a new script (which is still no where near as comprehensive as Manishearth's OrphanTabs) and build into it a mechanism that will make BLD scoring easy.
What I'm wondering at this point is, since there appears to be only two people using the script, should I continue to develop this script with a goal of using it for scoring BLDs or just debug the existing script and leave it at that. Thanks for any replies or comments.
If you wish to opt-out of future mailings, please remove yourself from the mailing list or alternatively to opt-out of all massmessage mailings, you may add Category:Opted-out of message delivery to your user talk page.

@Sultec: We don't typically persue individual journals, because of how few of our editors they serve. However, I would recommend trying to get access through a local research library (see Wikipedia:Find your source for strategies). You may also want to try reaching out to the journal directly, using our pitch: Wikipedia:The Wikipedia Library/Processes/Pitching partners. If they are willing to donate more than one account, we would be happy to distribute them through the Wikipedia Library.

A dead, unarchived source URL may still be useful. Such a link indicates that information was (probably) verifiable in the past, and the link might provide another user with greater resources or expertise with enough information to find the reference. It could also return from the dead. With a dead link, it is possible to determine if it has been cited elsewhere, or to contact the person originally responsible for the source. For example, one could contact the Yale Computer Science department if http://www.cs.yale.edu/~EliYale/Defense-in-Depth-PhD-thesis.pdf[dead link] were dead. Place {{Dead link|date=April 2017}} If you omit the date a bot will add it for you at some point. after the dead URL and just before the </ref> tag if applicable, leaving the original link intact. If you omit the date a bot will add it for you at some point. Placing dead link auto-categorizes the article into Articles with dead external links project category, and into specific monthly date range category based on |date= parameter. Do not delete a URL just because it has been tagged with dead link for a long time.

Speedy deletion nomination of User:Sultec/Chronic pain anonymous
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on User:Sultec/Chronic pain anonymous requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://www.meetup.com/cpa-sd/. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Your user page
User:Sultec was listed at
Lint errors: Multiline table in list, caused by the use of {{
inuse}} on a line that began with a bulleting asterisk. This error caused everything after the template to be indented, as you can see by examining the previous version in the page history. I could have fixed it by putting a newline character before the template, but there's still the problem that you're displaying a template falsely saying that the page is actively undergoing a major edit for 5 minutes. There is currently no category for pages with this template, but some day there might be. So, I made a few changes I hope you will like.
- categoy → category;
- move
{{ inuse}}to Templates that can't be displayed section - change heading of Templates that can't be displayed section to add "or make false implications about this page"
- changed space hyphen space ( - ) to space en dash space ( – )
It's your user page, so you have the right to revert my edit, but I hope you will agree with my changes. Cheers! — Anomalocaris ( talk) 20:29, 6 December 2020 (UTC)

- Vanderdecken, thanks for populating my user page with good to know information. I am having much fun browsing the wikipedia namespace, slowly learning as I go. I am hoping that you see this message but am not sure how you will know to do so. Please do enlighten me. Sultec ( talk) 09:48, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

Sultec (

- Hey Sultec - unless there's a specific reason to keep it in one place, conversations between users like this are usually conducted between two talk pages. In this case, I post something on your talk page, you post a reply at the bottom of mine, in a new section, I post a reply on yours etc. You can use : at the beginning of a line to indent it one level - multiple :s generate multiple indents. The same goes for * to make bullet points and # to make a numbered list. Like I said, when messages go between talk pages, there's usually little need for that talk notice. It's good to see you've got the hang of signing your name - many new users seem to fail to grasp that for a while. Some users add the talk pages of people who they correspond with to the user's watchlist - that way, even if you reply on your own talk page the other user can see that you have. See you around. — Vanderdecken∴ ∫ ξ φ 20:04, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
What does xfd stand for? Glossary says it's a generic term for deletion. That doesn't tell me what the initials stand for. -- Sultec ( talk) 00:06, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

- Hey there. The "fd" stands for "for deletion". The "x" stands for whatever it is. If it's an article, it's AfD; an image, IFD; a template, TfD; a category, CfD. Regards, Matthewedwards ( talk • contribs • email) 00:12, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
Hey, Sultec. I saw your comment on JodyB's talk page, asking if he'd be willing to mentor you. Unfortunately, Jody is on an extended wikibreak and hasn't edited since May. If you're still interested in finding someone, take a look at Wikipedia:Adopt-a-User/Adoptee's Area/Adopters for a list of editors who are willing to take somebody on. Good luck! - auburnpilot talk 21:14, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
Sorry it's taken so long to get back to you, hectic week with school in a few days etc. To address the SUL template first: the reason is that both it and the barnstar are designed to 'float' - this means they shuffle themselves around the page and try to fit together compactly without large areas of space - obviously this is not what you want in this situation. There is a template that can help you here - called, helpfully, {{ -}}. It creates an invisible line across the page and does not allow anything to cross it - if you put the code for the SUL template immediately below {{ -}}, it will start below the line, and won't shuffle up to fit above it. Think of it like resetting the alignments to one start point. It can also be used on pages to stop things overlapping. It's often used at the end of a section in an article to prevent images from that section overlapping the header of the next one. You want to place it one line above the SUL template.
Your second query - I undid your edit as you didn't give any justification, and it was verified and source information that you removed. — Vanderdecken∴ ∫ ξ φ 15:55, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

In the article/stub Integrated criminal justice information system You added an uncat tag but there was a category Criminal law stubs. Since I'm a new editor I don't understand the reason for the uncat tag. -- Sultec ( talk) 01:11, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
- That category is just a maintenance category and will disappear automatically as soon as the stub tag is removed. The article also needs to be put into a permanent category, such as Category:Criminal law or one of its sub-categories. Hope that helps!-- Fabrictramp | talk to me 18:28, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
WP:UNCAT summaries
To be honest, I'm not entirely sure. You might need to ask at the project page, or indeed the editor that added that wording. At a guess. I's hazard that it's in part project advertising, and in part, by way of documentation of such edits. Alai ( talk) 14:33, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
Why do stubs need more categorization if they already have a category stub?
- Because of the huge number of articles on wikipedia that are stub sized, we need more specific tags to help index and categorize all the various articles. See also

- Why are stub categories not "proper"? -- Lenoxus 15:41, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
- Because as soon as the article is expanded, the stub template will be removed and the stub category will disappear with it. Every article needs permanent categories that aren't dependent on stub (or any other) status. -- Tkynerd 16:15, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

I've tried installing User:ais523/stubtagtab.js with mixed results. It does put an extra tab on an article page (only, doesn't work in user page sandbox) allowing you to enter a stub category via a popup box. The script seems to suggest that it should give more options but I'm not seeing that action.
- stubtagtab is very simple, no options or anything, just the popup box. stubtagtab2.js is the one which has menus of stub tags; most people prefer that one instead. -- ais523 14:31, 22 September 2008 ( U T C)

- All
templates, in fact any page on Wikipedia can be included on a page by putting two curly brackets (
{{ }}) around the page name. Wikipedia will assume you're including a template though, so to include, say the article Google on a page, you'd use{{:Google}}to tell Wikipedia Google's in the article space. If you wanted to include my user page on a page, you'd use{{User:Matt.T}}. There are more practical uses though, for example on my talk page and user page I have a menu at the top. I've included this by inserting{{User:Matt.T/Menu}}at the top of each of those pages. Instead of having to update each page (my user page and my talk page) when I want to change the menu, I can update User:Matt.T/Menu and those changes will be displayed on my user page and talk page automatically. There's some cases where you should usesubst:in between the first set of curly brackets and the page name to basically copy and paste code (ie:{{subst:User:Matt.T/Menu}}). Situations where you'd usesubst:are explained here. I hope this helps, if you have any more questions feel free to ask on my talk page or insert{{helpme}}on your user talk.

I noticed you added your name to the list of participants in WikiProject Orphanage. We really appreciate your help! The first things you could do to get started with us are:
- Read the Wikipedia:WikiProject Orphanage page, especially the section marked " Criteria". The page contains a lot of good advice to get you started, as well as the standard procedures we are using to de-orphan articles.
- Look at {{ orphan}},{{ do-attempt}}, and {{ articleissues}} closely and make sure you know how to use them correctly. (It's not difficult, but it is easy to screw up. Trust me, I have.)
- Keep de-orphaning! Category:Orphaned articles contains all orphaned articles organized by month. Right now we're just trying to keep up with all the new orphans being created, so please start with the current monthly category. Once those are cleared out, we can start working on the backlog in reverse-chronological order.
- Of course, you may have already known all of this, in which case sorry for the spam. Either way, let me know if there's any way I can help you contribute more to the project!

Hi, I'd like to invite you to participate in the Guild of Copy Editors July 2010 Backlog Elimination Drive. In May, about 30 editors helped remove the {{copyedit}} tag from 1175 articles. The backlog is still over 7500 articles, and extends back to the beginning of 2008! We really need your help to reduce it. Copyediting just a couple articles can qualify you for a barnstar. Serious copyeditors can win prestigious and exclusive rewards. See the event page for more information. And thanks for your consideration. ɳorɑfʈ Talk! 15:22, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

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!

| Greetings from the Guild of Copy Editors
Backlog Elimination Drive!
The Wikipedia Guild of Copy-Editors invites you to participate in the November 2010 Backlog Elimination Drive, a month-long effort to reduce the backlog of articles that require copy-editing. The drive will begin on 1 November at 00:00 (UTC) and will end on 30 November at 23:59 (UTC). The goal for this drive is to reduce the backlog by 10% (approximately 500 articles). We hope to focus our efforts on the oldest three months (January, February, and March 2009) and the newest three months (September, October, and November 2010) of articles in the queue. Sign-up has already begun at the November drive page, and will be open throughout the drive. If you have any questions or concerns, please leave a message on the drive's talk page. Before you begin copy-editing, please carefully read the instructions on the main drive page. Please make sure that you know how to copy-edit, and be familiar with the Wikipedia Manual of Style. Awards and barnstars A range of barnstars will be awarded to active participants, some of which are exclusive to GOCE drives. More information on awards can be found on the main drive page. Thank you; we look forward to meeting you on the drive! |

We have reached the midway point in our backlog elimination drive, so here is an update. Participation report — The November drive has 53 participants at this point. We had 77 participants in the September drive. In July, 95 people signed up for the drive, and in May we had 36. If you are not participating, it is not too late to join! Progress report — The drive is quite successful so far, as we have already almost reached our target of a 10% reduction in the number of articles in the backlog. We are doing very well at keeping our Requests page clear, as those articles count double for word count for this drive. Please keep in mind the possibility of removing other tags when you are finished with an article. If the article no longer needs {{ cleanup}}, {{ wikify}}, or other similar maintenance tags, please remove them, as this will make the tasks of other WikiProjects easier to complete. Thanks very much for participating in the Drive, and see you at the finish line!

These roll-over words count as credit towards earning barnstars, except for leaderboard awards. We will be delivering these barnstars within the next couple of weeks. Our next drive is scheduled for January 2011. In the meantime, please consider helping out at the Wikification drive or any of the other places where help with backlogs is needed.

Guild of Copy Editors January 2011 backlog elimination drive
Greetings from the
Guild of Copy Editors
January 2011 Backlog elimination drive! The drive is halfway over, so here are some mid-drive stats.
So far, 43 people have signed up for this drive. Of these, 25 have participated. If you signed up for the drive but haven't participated yet, it's not too late! Try to copy edit at least a few articles. Remember, if you have rollover words from the last drive, you will lose them if you do not participate in this drive. If you haven't signed up for the drive yet, you can
sign up now.
We have eliminated two months from the backlog – January and February 2009. One of our goals is to eliminate as many months as possible from the 2009 backlog. Please help us reduce the size of this part of the backlog if you haven't already. Another goal is to reduce the entire backlog by 10%, or by 515 articles. Currently, we have eliminated 375 articles from the queue, so if each participant copy edits four more articles, we will reach that goal. Thank you for participating in the January 2011 drive. We anticipate it will be another big success! Your drive coordinators – S Masters ( talk), Diannaa ( Talk), The Utahraptor Talk to me, and Tea with toast ( Talk) |

Hello Sultec, I'm here onbehalf of WP:ORPHAN in which you are also a participant. So, we want your opinion to a WP:ORPHAN related matter. It is a proposal by Technical 13. Please have a look here. Your opinion (i.e support, oppose etc) are very much appreciated there. Thank you. By Jim Cartar through MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 03:02, 6 April 2014 (UTC)

Hello everyone! I was just working on responding to a couple bug reports for a script that I worked up as part of a request from this project, and I noticed that only a couple people (who weren't even on this mailing list) are actually using the script. A little history on the script: In March of 2014, Jim Cartar came to my user talk page and said he needed some help in acquiring a script for a backlog drive that he was working on that could keep track of and score deOrphanings for a scored backlog drive. I took that request to the project's talk page ( BackLog Drive "DO" (De-Orphaning) script proposal) and there was near unanimous support for this. I thought about the proposal and decided the best way to do it was to build a new script (which is still no where near as comprehensive as Manishearth's OrphanTabs) and build into it a mechanism that will make BLD scoring easy.
What I'm wondering at this point is, since there appears to be only two people using the script, should I continue to develop this script with a goal of using it for scoring BLDs or just debug the existing script and leave it at that. Thanks for any replies or comments.
If you wish to opt-out of future mailings, please remove yourself from the mailing list or alternatively to opt-out of all massmessage mailings, you may add Category:Opted-out of message delivery to your user talk page.

@Sultec: We don't typically persue individual journals, because of how few of our editors they serve. However, I would recommend trying to get access through a local research library (see Wikipedia:Find your source for strategies). You may also want to try reaching out to the journal directly, using our pitch: Wikipedia:The Wikipedia Library/Processes/Pitching partners. If they are willing to donate more than one account, we would be happy to distribute them through the Wikipedia Library.

A dead, unarchived source URL may still be useful. Such a link indicates that information was (probably) verifiable in the past, and the link might provide another user with greater resources or expertise with enough information to find the reference. It could also return from the dead. With a dead link, it is possible to determine if it has been cited elsewhere, or to contact the person originally responsible for the source. For example, one could contact the Yale Computer Science department if http://www.cs.yale.edu/~EliYale/Defense-in-Depth-PhD-thesis.pdf[dead link] were dead. Place {{Dead link|date=April 2017}} If you omit the date a bot will add it for you at some point. after the dead URL and just before the </ref> tag if applicable, leaving the original link intact. If you omit the date a bot will add it for you at some point. Placing dead link auto-categorizes the article into Articles with dead external links project category, and into specific monthly date range category based on |date= parameter. Do not delete a URL just because it has been tagged with dead link for a long time.

Speedy deletion nomination of User:Sultec/Chronic pain anonymous
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on User:Sultec/Chronic pain anonymous requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://www.meetup.com/cpa-sd/. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Your user page
User:Sultec was listed at
Lint errors: Multiline table in list, caused by the use of {{
inuse}} on a line that began with a bulleting asterisk. This error caused everything after the template to be indented, as you can see by examining the previous version in the page history. I could have fixed it by putting a newline character before the template, but there's still the problem that you're displaying a template falsely saying that the page is actively undergoing a major edit for 5 minutes. There is currently no category for pages with this template, but some day there might be. So, I made a few changes I hope you will like.
- categoy → category;
- move
{{ inuse}}to Templates that can't be displayed section - change heading of Templates that can't be displayed section to add "or make false implications about this page"
- changed space hyphen space ( - ) to space en dash space ( – )
It's your user page, so you have the right to revert my edit, but I hope you will agree with my changes. Cheers! — Anomalocaris ( talk) 20:29, 6 December 2020 (UTC)
