That friendly java script is kind of late for me, you know? but is good to see it there, I'm a wikipedia user since September 2005, I believe so. I was User:Locketudor before.

Hi there :)
Just leaving a message to tell you, that Im still alive ;). I was quite busy in real life for a while and then I started to edit articles in the german wikipedia. Probably you've seen that in the German WP a user needs to edit at least 200 different articles before he/she gets "sighter-rights" (I dont know if this is the correct word for it). I finally got that right and I commenced to write a few German articles (but couldnt finish them yet). At the moment Im quite busy with graphical stuff. After I had designed the barnstar I confered to you, I was asked if I can create some more barnstars and thats how I spend my time at the moment. I hope you're fine. With kind regards --Rectilinium'♥' 01:27, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
- Right now, I am working for Editor status on the English Wikinews. An admin advised me to write at least two articles. I have written one. Recently, I have been a bit inactive, however, that habit is reverting soon. BTW, I think Sighter rights is about right; I think that deWP uses that. Hope you liked my amazing barnstar.

A copy of the speedy deletion rationale I wrote for the redirect:
{{db-reason|1=This falls under CSD G4. Both a deletion discussion and deletion review established that this page should not exist. Additionally, the target that this page points to is not appropriate (cf. [http://en.wiki.x.io/w/index.php?title=Special:WhatLinksHere/Figure_of_speech&hidelinks=1 other redirects to "Figure of speech") and the target makes no mention of the term.

In need of your mentorship
Hi,
I need help from an experienced Wikipedian, and I saw your name over at WP:ADOPT.
I need your advice concerning a WikiProject I've been coordinating. Here's the situation:
The project is WP:WPOOK. The set of pages the project concerns is listed at Portal:Contents/Outline of knowledge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Outline of knowledge#Projected outline, and has grown to about 500 articles in the encyclopedia. I also run a team of 5 advanced wiki-editors - the team communicates via user talk page posts. We use a variety of tools such as AWB, bots, Linky, etc. to execute tasks on batches of hundreds of pages at a time. Three of the team's members are admins, and 2 of the members have bot accounts. The team works on tasks that I assign, on the OOK and also on problems that the OOK has revealed in the encyclopedia-at-large (reverse outlines are good at that) - we've worked on things as diverse as creating country demonym disambiguation pages, to cleaning up the CIA World Factbook data on country "Demographics of" pages, to renaming "Cuisine of" articles to their demonymic form, to organizing the "Index of x articles" pages, etc. I also send out a newsletter or project update to the team, to the WikiProject members, and to anybody else who has been involved or who has expressed interest (20 to 30 Wikipedians).
So you see, we can implement just about any strategy. But we need more strategies. Your ideas on the following would be greatly appreciated...
The goals of the WikiProject are:
- Increase awareness of readers of the existence of the outlines on Wikipedia
- Complete the existing outlines
- Create an outline for every subject that is exensive enough to benefit from having an outline (core subjects and major or extensive fields). There are thousands of these.
- Recruit as many editors to work on these as possible (we need thousands of editors working on these)
- Surpass portals in number by the end of the summer, and leave them in the dust by the end of the year
- Get the major outline subject areas displayed on the Main Page (in place of or in addition to the portal links at the top of the page)
- Increase the OOK to higher quality than Britannica's Outline of Knowledge (published in its Propaedia volume).
We've posted over a thousand banners and notices so far, which resulted in just a couple complaints - one complainer posted at WT:WPOOK & WP:AN & WP:VPP and the other posted at WP:VPR. Not a bad negative feedback level for such a large posting. The complaints went nowhere, as several users came forward in defense of outlines.
I've proposed a 200-Wikiproject contest at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Countries, and I had notices posted on the talk pages of all the corresponding country WikiProjects' talk pages.
I've created some pointers for developing outlines to guide editors through the process of building outline pages, because once many editors are attracted, I won't be able to instruct them one-on-one. I've also been working on a new article for the subject, since the current article is very lacking.
I was hoping you could comment on how to achieve the goals above.
Also I'm interested in every possible way of reaching readers and editors of Wikipedia. How can I get the most eyes and typing fingers on Wikipedia's outlines? Contacting editors directly without a reason relevant to them is spam, which I'd like to avoid. There are 75,000 regular editors on Wikipedia, and I want to contact all of them. So how do I do it? Directly or indirectly, I don't care which, piecemeal or all-at-once, all methods are fine with me. But I've got to find ways. I need your help.
I would also like to know how to find or attract editors to create new outlines. And I need advice on finding editors to help write the new outline article mentioned above (it needs to be fleshed out, completely referenced, and brought to featured article status).
Can you recommend anyone in particular who might be interested in sinking their teeth into a project like this? Or ways to reach groups of editors? Or ways to reach all editors? I welcome any and all advice you might have.
I look forward to your reply on my talk page.

Your Recent Notice To My Talk Page
It would help if you could be descriptive with regard to your remark about my edit being "unconstructive", regarding Spencer Pratt. Simply put, there was only one reference listed, and it was dead. Thus, there was no need for a References section -- and I was in the middle of finding the proper tags to identify the article as needing more sufficient sources when you messaged me. I'm not sure what was unconstructive about the edit whatsoever, since the link was dead and I think you at least owe an explanation since you obviously felt strong enough to provide a warning that was not necessary to begin with. You should be more careful with who's talk pages you litter with warnings that show unwarranted negativity - especially when my editing history has been entirely positive.

obsello page
Hello. I recently nominated the obsello page for review as GA article in an attempt to protect what I think is an important part of the spirits information on wikipedia. I understand your ruling and rushed the page to review in an attempt to gain attention to the page when it was under attack by an industry PR firm. Although he left when confronted, the page is now being threatened by an experienced editor. I do think the page should stay and be edited, and as an absinthe buff can say this is a very important brand. This fact is substantiated by virtually all the industry refrences posible, notable critics, and the NY Times among newspapers.
The editors argument is that the references sighted in the discussion page are not sufficient to justify the relevance of the brand and I feel this could not be further from the truth. I think the page does need work, and was likely written by industry interests. I also think that those facts do not warrant deletion simply an edit. I have volunteered to edit it and been met with hostility. So far I seem to be the only contributor to the absinthe pages or the spirits project involved and I am feeling a bit outgunned here in respect to wikipedia know how. However this editor does not know what he/she is talking about with regard to spirits. He/she argued that important critics and industry authorities were not reliable third party sources and demanded evidence as to the importance of the San Francisco World Spirits Competition. For a person with intimate knowledge of spirits these are illogical ideas. It is like questioning the validity of the oscars and recommending the deletion of a film page. I was wondering what your thoughts were and if you would be willing to weigh in on the page and possible do a bit of homework investigating the validity of the references?Nightcafe1 (talk) 03:14, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
- From you allusion to the Oscars, I am assuming the San Francisco Worlds Spirits Competition is the Oscars of spirits; I would say this is a reliable source. I am not going to fact check the article. I do not do that on Wikipedia (often; only on subjects I know well). Sorry. I will give you writing advice. Firstly, prose is preferred, rather than lists. Periods (.) go before the citations. When there are many references, using
{{reflist|2}}
is also preferred; this makes two columns of references, rather than one very long list. If you have any other editing questions, just ask. Hope this helps. --The New Mikemoral ♪♫ 18:21, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks for the suggestions. Over the next few weeks I am going to overhaul the page. I know a lot about spirits but not a ton about editing wikipeda so the tips are useful. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nightcafe1 (talk • contribs) 22:03, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

WikiCup participates in the Wikipedia:The Great Wikipedia Dramaout
Hello all, iMatthew here. I just wanted to let you know about "The Great Wikipedia Dramaout" which starts this Saturday. The goal of the Dramaout is to spend five days working on improving articles and abstaining from any of Wikipedia's drama. I don't think that any of you will have a problem focusing on articles for five days, because of course, any work you get done during the Dramaout will count towards your score in the WikiCup. Details are on the page; hope to see you all signing up! :) iMatthew talk at 00:27, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
WP:NODRAMA reminder
Thanks for signing up for the Great Wikipedia Dramaout. Wikipedia stands to benefit from the improvements in the article space as a result of this campaign. This is a double reminder. First, the campaign begins on July 18, 2009 at 00:00 (UTC). Second, please remember to log any articles you have worked on during the campaign at Wikipedia:The Great Wikipedia Dramaout/Log. Thanks again for your participation! --Jayron32.talk.say no to drama 22:01, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

Hi there, The New Mikemoral! Thought you might be interested in Motto of the Day, a collaborative (and totally voluntary) effort by a group of Wikipedians to create original, inspirational mottos. Have a good motto idea? Share it here, comment on some of the mottos there or just pass this message onto your friends.

Spotlight needs suggestions
![]() | ![]() Spotlight needs your help! We've had great success with Marco Polo (now a Good Article), and Marco Polo sheep (currently on the main page in the "Did You Know..."). We're now working on Dry ice. We'll be choosing the next article on Sunday 26th July, and the following one on Friday 31st July (which is when we'll finish Dry ice). Therefore, we need suggestions, here - and even more importantly, we need comment on the suggestions of others. Hope to see you in the channel again soon, cheers, Chzz ► 18:26, 25 July 2009 (UTC) |

Hello... I've seen, that you have left a message on my talkpage in June. Please excuse, that I didnt answer earlier! I was (and I still am) in very bad health. I feel very exhausted at the moment, so that Im not able to make any contributions at the moment. I will leave a message when (if) I recover. With kind regards...

I'm not vandalising and I would like you to remove any allegations of this and tell me why it's so hard to merge this page? The page is about the tx1000, so the title should also be of this, yes? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Starkiez (talk • contribs) 23:00, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

Spotlight Newsletter - October

Wikiproject After great success with Marco Polo (and his sheep!), Dry ice went pretty well. USS Massachusetts (BB-59) was challenging, and with Monkey, the project faded: Battle of the Nobles and Oil got little attention. |
We need your help! Spotlight is a collaboration - it works really well when lots of people get involved. It doesn't matter what skills you bring, because between us, we can do great things. Even if you make one, simple edit - if 100 people do that, we'll have made significant progress, and we all benefit by learning from each other. |
Current article This time, we've created a brand-new article, and between us we're confident of achieving a Did you know... on the main page, and work towards getting the article rated as C-class or B-class. |
Father Aengus Finucane died on 6 October at the age of 77; he was an Irish priest who did lots of work helping refugees of world conflicts, and was the head of the charity Concern. There are plenty of reliable sources, so it should be easy to write this - so please help out by editing the article. |
