Greetings! Two or more stub types which you created have been nominated for renaming or deletion at Wikipedia:Stub types for deletion. The stub type most likely doesn't meet Wikipedia requirements for a stub type, through failure to meet standards relating to the name, scope, current stub hierarchy or likely size, as explained at Wikipedia:Stub. Please feel free to make any comments at WP:SFD regarding this stub type, and in future, please consider proposing new stub types first at Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals! This message is a boilerplate, left here as a courtesy, and should not be considered personal in nature. Dawynn ( talk) 14:00, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
Hi! Since you've been identified as an Awesome Wikipedian, I wanted to let you know about the Wikipedia Ambassador Program, and specifically the role of Online Ambassador. We're looking for friendly Wikipedians who are good at reviewing articles and giving feedback to serve as mentors for students who are assigned to write for Wikipedia in their classes.
If that sounds like you and you're interested, I encourage you to take a look at the Online Ambassador guidelines; the "mentorship process" describes roughly what will be expected of mentors during the current term, which started in January and goes through early May. If that's something you want to do, please apply!
You can find instructions for applying at WP:ONLINE. The main things we're looking for in Online Ambassadors are friendliness, regular activity (since mentorship is a commitment that spans several months), and the ability to give detailed, substantive feedback on articles (both short new articles, and longer, more mature ones).
I hope to hear from you soon.-- Sage Ross - Online Facilitator, Wikimedia Foundation ( talk) 21:53, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
The article Konappana Agrahara has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your
edit summary or on
the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the
proposed deletion process, but other
deletion processes exist. The
speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and
articles for deletion allows discussion to reach
consensus for deletion.
Why so serious?

On geographical locations notability, I think these links should be useful to note : Wikipedia:Notability (geography) , Wikipedia:Common_outcomes#Geography_and_astronomy , Wikipedia:Geographic_imbalance#Solving_geographic_imbalances -- Tinu Cherian - 18:13, 29 January 2011 (UTC)
But please be extra cautious while communicating with other users and making deletion requests. Also remember to read this Wikipedia:Geographic_imbalance#Solving_geographic_imbalances. It is a very nice thought! Happy Editing !! -- Tinu Cherian - 18:46, 29 January 2011 (UTC)
Hello Tinucherian, please see meta:Steward requests/Bot status#Removal of global bot status. Thank you! -- UV ( talk) 23:16, 30 January 2011 (UTC)
Hi, please take a look at the article on Makara Jyothi. The article is poorly written and has serious factual issues. The Travancore Devaswom Board has recently confirmed that the Makara Jyothi is man made. I have made some changes in the article because of this. But I don't think it would stay on for long on the article. So could you protect the article? If it is too early to ask for protection, could you please add it on your watchlist? Thanks! — Finemann ( talk) 20:12, 31 January 2011 (UTC)
We are half way through round one of the WikiCup. Signups are now closed, and we have 129 listed competitors, 64 of whom will make it to round two. Congratulations to The Bushranger ( submissions), who, at the time of writing, has a comfortable lead with 228 points, followed by Hurricanehink ( submissions), with 144 points. Four others have over 100 points. Congratulations also go to Yellow Evan ( submissions), who scored the first points in the competition, claiming for Talk:Hurricane King/GA1, Miyagawa ( submissions), who scored the first non-review points in the competition, claiming for Dognapping, and Jarry1250 ( submissions) who was the first in the competition to use our new "multiplier" mechanic ( explanation), claiming for Grigory Potemkin, a subject covered on numerous Wikipedias. Thanks must also go to Jarry1250 for dealing with all bot work- without you, the competition wouldn't be happening!
A running total of claims can be seen here. However, numerous competitors are yet to score at all- please remember to submit content soon after it is promoted, so that the judges are able to review entries. The number of points that will be needed to reach round two is not clear- everyone needs to get their entries in now to guarantee their places! If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages, or by email. Good luck! If you wish to start receiving or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.
