Regarding this edit:

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Cory_Doctorow&diff=568440417&oldid=568172363

Please see this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_subject

Particularly:

"On 1 January 1983, upon the coming into force of the British Nationality Act 1981, every Citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies became either a British Citizen, British Dependent Territories Citizen or British Overseas Citizen."

and this:

...It would be incorrect to describe a British citizen as a British subject.

I'd appreciate it if you'd revert your edit.

Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Doctorow (talk • contribs) 05:04, 14 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Another editor has reverted the IP editor who reverted my own edited. This has now been reverted. I am a full blown atavistic pedantsist and lament the passing of this term...Thanks for the clarification. Best, --Ktlynch (talk) 12:56, 14 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Since the FAC for the film didn't work out, should we nominate it for A-class then? Thanks. Guy546^(Talk) 17:22, 21 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, I think it is at that level at least. There was opposition, just not a sufficient consensus that it met FA. For a film article there is a good amount of real cinematic detail there. Go ahead and do it on the talk page, I haven't the heart to nominate it myself, but I'll be there to answer any questions. Go for it! --Ktlynch (talk) 01:03, 22 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I just did it. Best, --Ktlynch (talk) 13:45, 14 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, thanks for your comments on the featured article review, I have replied to your comments as have some other editors and it would be cool if you could respond when you get the chance. cya Coolug (talk) 20:00, 22 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Just to let you know that a couple of editors have asked that you provide diffs to support your claim that their support for promotion "derives from the disgusting and obscene nature of the article's subject matter". Failing that they'd like you to withdraw the claim as they seem to find it a little rude and insulting. Coolug (talk) 14:10, 24 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I saw the responses on FAC, and will respond in kind. I don't know what kind of diff might be possible to support such a claim, I posited it as a possibility, I didn't accuse any individual of it. Be assured that I was not trying to insult anyone, rather surprised that this article had seemed to gather so much support at review compared to other film ones. Best, --Ktlynch (talk) 18:35, 24 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your help in copy-editing The Beatles in India. Even 'minor' improvements are worthwhile, and some of yours weren't minor at all. After you edited it I made a few more changes, and moved some sentences for better flow.[1] I hope I haven't ruined it! ;) I'm going to double check some of the references, and will nominate it for FAC soon. Your contributions will help the article qualify.   Will Beback  talk  21:47, 24 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

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.

Courses looking for Online Ambassadors[edit]

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!

Hello, regarding Body of Lies (film), do you think it should be the primary topic? I requested a move a few years ago that did not succeed, but reviewing all the "Body of Lies" articles, it seems that per WP:PRIMARYTOPIC and based on the article traffic statistics, the film is the most sought-for. Let me know if you feel strongly either way or not at all. Erik (talk | contribs) 21:43, 3 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Erik, thanks for getting in touch. I don't have strong feelings about it, the two titles clearly distinguish the works as they are, but you could be right based on my reading of the policy.

Thank you for your kind words. Perhaps you are getting the last word on the parenthesis issue, which would be a fine place to end it. --Ring Cinema (talk) 15:27, 4 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

De nada, Amigo! I see he retracted it in the end, I don't think it was intended to be overly malicious, the two of them actually have respectable editing histories. Probably just a silly Sunday off-the-cuff jibe. Either way I wouldn't take it to heart. Best, --Ktlynch (talk) 15:54, 4 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft is looking good - I only don't know if Origins is really for a Themes section (after all, we need Writing in the production one). Looking forward to further expansions of it! igordebraga ≠ 03:37, 6 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I was going to rewrite some of Origins and seperate the analytical material from the practical side. "Development" crosses over with the writing stage as I see it. Don't worry for the moment anyway, I'm going to give it a bash now. Best, --Ktlynch (talk) 10:13, 6 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Kevin, I am hoping you can look at a page that myself and another University of Toronto classmate made changes to: Private Good. The site first contained very few references, and very little info. We have both made some some positive changes (I hope), but I don't think those that originally made up the page and added changes have the page on their watchlist, so we have gotten no feedback on the discussion page. I was hoping you could provide some! Thanks! SADeGroot (talk) 14:20, 24 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, if you have time can you entertain my request to copyedit Connor (Angel)? I've been trying to make the article reach GA status but am doubtful about my prose quality and an experienced editor like you can surly help a lot with other fixes as well. I used a combination of Cordelia Chase and Master Chief (Halo) for MOS purpose and have done some fixes using your linked Automatic peer reviewer. Thanks.September88 (talk) 05:31, 24 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Ktlynch, I've been reviewing something for GA, at Talk:De Profundis (letter)/GA1. The history of that article reveals that you've done significant work on that article; the nominator, on the other hand, made only one. If you're interested, I think it won't take much work to pass GA status--please have a look and drop me a line if you like. All the best, and thanks for having worked on it so much, Drmies (talk) 04:29, 3 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Many thanks for informing me and for your reviewing efforts. I will investigate. Best,--Ktlynch (talk) 13:11, 3 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your message. I had of course forgotten Wikipedia's rule that people who actually know about things aren't allowed to make edits. I'll try to remember in future. Intelligent Mr Toad (talk) 23:23, 11 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Err, you're welcome; I am not criticising what you wrote--you seem to be well informed on the subject. It's more an issue of finding a criterion for conclusion, the section used to be very long, people wanted to list all sorts of minor details. How do we decide what to include? Wikipedia is a tertiary source, and thus consists essentially of a summary of secondary sources, this is what we do here, no one said it was glamorous. If you want to advance your own critiques and analyses of the film then a blog might be a better place to do it. Best, --Ktlynch (talk) 10:25, 12 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Many thanks for all your work here at WikiP. May you have a great 2012. FYI my Santa Fe Opera newsletter states that an opera based on the life of Oscar Wilde is in the works for 2013. Whether it will be special or not is hard to say at this time but the setting for that opera house is one of the most gorgeous anywhere so I know I will enjoy that. Cheers. MarnetteD | Talk 22:25, 21 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Ktlynch. I'm checking through the GOCE requests page to see if everything is up to date, and just wanted to check the status of a couple that are marked by you as "working":

• Thor (film): You marked as working and did some work on it around 8-9 November. I see it's a GA. Can I assume this is completed, and remove it?
• Bicholim conflict: similar question.

Thanks in advance. --Stfg (talk) 17:28, 2 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oops, I must have fogotten to update their statuses; I'll reread them now and remove them myself. Thanks for letting me know. Best, --Ktlynch (talk) 21:27, 2 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Ktlynch! As you may know, the Wikipedia Education Program has instilled a new set of standards that courses must meet to officially join the program for the semester. As you can see, one of the requirements is that at least one ambassador or professor is a Wikipedian, as this should give students more access to helpful information about contributing to Wikipedia and creating good content. You are listed on the Online Ambassador page; are you still interested in remaining active this semester? Some of these classes will have to remove themselves from the program should they fail to meet these standards, but we would like to ensure that new students are receiving proper support during the editing process. Please let me know if you are still interested in mentoring these students this semester and/or visit the Online Ambassador talk page to select a course that still needs an Online Ambassador. Thank you! JMathewson (WMF) (talk) 00:39, 7 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Ktlynch. I'm contacting highly respected literary editors as the Charles Dickens article has been of a low standard for a long period and edits unvetted. The one issue that needs to be dealt with in Talk:Charles_Dickens was one editors sweeping allegations. This subject in particular, has been in dire need of a collaboration and discussion among editors, and not one editors POV, so that consensus on the material is reached on talkpage, and the addition and wording scholarly. Thanks. Harrison 1979 (talk) 16:43, 22 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I am assuming from the other comments on your page that you aren't normally as intellectually diffracted as you appear to have been with the convoluted change you made to the film, Midnight in Paris. Can you please change your edit to reflect whatever it was you were 'trying to say'? Thanks and Regards... Stevenmitchell (talk) 15:07, 27 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

A mid-importance article supported by WikiProject Actors and Filmmakers that was reviewed by Version 1.0 Editorial Team and selected for Version 0.7 and subsequent release versions. The article has come a long way from a fan boy mish mash to a fair enough GA. Now is the time to take it to the next level. Currently it's going through another peer review. Serious help is needed to clean up the copy. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE. Aditya^{(talk • contribs)} 10:19, 23 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

DYK articles must be 1,500 characters long, not 1,500 words. If it was 1,500 words, most of the articles on the DYK nominations page would meet the length criteria. 1,500 words would be around the depth of a GA. See Wikipedia:Did you know/Supplementary guidelines. Could you review the DYK again? Thanks for your time.--SGCM (talk) 06:18, 27 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies, I misread. The article is ok on length and content then; I gave it a light copyedit. See my comments on the DYK nomination page for tightening up the hook. Best, --Ktlynch (talk) 06:34, 27 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hiya. Why are you starting up this nationality debate again? Please read my reply to you 2 years ago about what being "British" meant at the time of Harris's birth. It was shorthand for being a citizen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. The term does not denote that being born on the island called Great Britain. In the 19th Century all people born in Ireland were British (as indeed were all those born in England, Scotland and Wales). He would have had a British passport. Please refrain from reverting changes on this until you have checked up on the facts.Daisyabigael (talk) 22:07, 9 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, hah! Notice the way Great Britain and Ireland are distinct and separate! Historical and biographical sources do not describe people from this period as "British". Oftentimes they emphaise how the political situation led people to emphasise their Irishness. In short, you are incorrect to state that the United Kingdom and Great Britain are the same thing. Best, --Ktlynch (talk) 09:58, 10 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Kevin! Are you interested in being the Online Ambassador for any classes this term? We've got a few classes that are looking for ambassador right now (Canada, US), so if you're up for helping any, please do!

On 14 September 2012, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article The Great Stagnation, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that Tyler Cowen, an economics blogger, argues in the ebook The Great Stagnation that the Internet has not made us richer? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/The Great Stagnation. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Guild of Copy Editors September 2012 backlog elimination drive wrap-up Participation: Out of 41 people who signed up this drive, 28 copy-edited at least one article. Thanks to all who participated! Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here. Progress report: We achieved our primary goal of clearing July, August, September and October 2011 from the backlog. This means that, for the first time since the drives began, the backlog is less than a year. At least 677 tagged articles were copy edited, although 365 new ones were added during the month. The total backlog at the end of the month was 2341 articles, down from 8323 when we started out over two years ago. We completed all 54 requests outstanding before September 2012 as well as eight of those made in September. Copy Edit of the Month: Voting is now over for the August 2012 competition, and prizes will be issued soon. The September 2012 contest is closed for submissions and open for voting. The October 2012 contest is now open for submissions. Everyone is welcome to submit entries and to vote. – Your drive coordinators: Stfg, Allens, and Torchiest.

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Bicholim conflict is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bicholim conflict until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article.--ShelfSkewed Talk 16:59, 28 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! You're getting this message because you are or have been a Wikipedia Ambassador. A new term is beginning for the United States and Canada Education Programs, and I wanted to give you an update on some important new information if you're interested in continuing your work this term as a Wikipedia Ambassador.

You may have heard a reference to a transition the education program is going through. This is the last term that the Wikimedia Foundation will directly run the U.S. and Canada programs; beginning in June, a proposed thematic organization is likely to take over organizing the program. You can read more about the proposal here.

Another major change in the program will take effect immediately. Beginning this term, a new MediaWiki education extension will replace all course pages and Ambassador lists. (See Wikipedia:Course pages and Help:Education Program extension for more details.) Included in the extension are online volunteer and campus volunteer user rights, which let you create and edit course pages and sign up as an ambassador for a particular course.

If you would like to continue serving as a Wikipedia Ambassador — even if you do not support a class this term — you must create an ambassador profile. If you're no longer interested in being a Wikipedia Ambassador, you don't need to do anything.

Please do these steps as soon as possible

First, you need the relevant user rights for Online and/or Campus Ambassadors. (If you are an admin, you can grant the rights yourself, for you as well as other ambassadors.) Just post your rights request here, and we'll get you set up as quickly as possible.

Once you've got the ambassador rights, please set up at a Campus and/or Online Ambassador profile. You can do so at:

• Special:CampusAmbassadorProfile
• Special:OnlineAmbassadorProfile

Going forward, the lists of Ambassadors at Special:CampusAmbassadors and Special:OnlineAmbassadors will be the official roster of who is an active Ambassador. If you would like to be an Ambassador but not ready to serve this term, you can un-check the option in your profile to publicly list it (which will remove your profile from the list).

After that, you can sign on to support courses. The list of courses will be at Special:Courses. (By default, this lists "Current" courses, but you can change the Status filter to "Planned" to see courses for this term that haven't reached their listed start date yet.)

As this is the first term we have used the extension, we know there will be some bugs, and we know the feature set is not as rich as it could be. (A big wave of improvements is already in the pipeline. And if you know MediaWiki and could help with code review, we'd love to have your help!) Please reach out to me (Sage Ross) with any complaints, bug reports, and feature suggestions. The basic features of the extension are documented at Wikipedia:Course pages, and you can see a tutorial for setting up and using them here.

Communication and keeping up to date

In the past, the Education Program has had a pretty fragmented set of communication channels. We're trying to fix that. These are the recommended places to discuss and stay up-to-date on the education program:

1. The education noticeboard has become the main on-wiki location for discussion of the Education Program. You can post there about broad education program issues as well as issues with individual courses.
2. The Ambassadors Announce email list is a very low-traffic announcements list of important information all Ambassadors need to be aware of. We encourage all Ambassadors (and other interested Wikipedians) to subscribe to the list; follow the instructions on the link to add your email address.
3. If you use IRC regularly, or need to try to reach someone immediately, the #wikipedia-en-ambassadors ^connect IRC channel is the place to find me and fellow Ambassadors.

Ambassador training and resources

We now have an online training for Ambassadors, which is intended to be both an orientation about the Wikipedia Ambassador role for newcomers and the manual for how to do the role. (There are parallel trainings for students and for educators as well.)

Please go through the training if you feel like you need a refresher on how a typical class is supposed to go and where the Ambassadors fit in, or if you want to review and help improve it. If there's something you'd like to see added, or other suggestions you have for it, feel free to edit the training and/or leave feedback. A primer on setting up and using course pages is included in the educators' training.

The Resources page of the training is the main place for Ambassador-related resources. If there's something you think is important as a resource that's not on there, please add it.

Finally, whether or not you work with any classes this term, I encourage you to post entries to the Trophy Case whenever you see excellent work from students or if you have great examples from past semesters. And, as always, let students (and other editors!) know when they do things well; a little WikiLove goes a long way!

Hello! Now, some of you might have already received a similar message a little while ago regarding the Recruitment Centre, so if you have, there is no need to read the rest of this. This message is directed to users who have reviewed over 15 Good article nominations and are not part of WikiProject Good articles (the first message I sent out went to only WikiProject members). So for those who haven't heard about the Recruitment Centre yet, you may be wondering why there is a Good article icon with a bunch of stars around it (to the right). The answer? WikiProject Good articles will be launching a Recruitment Centre very soon! The centre will allow all users to be taught how to review Good article nominations by experts just like you! However, in order for the Recruitment Centre to open in the first place, we need some volunteers: Recruiters: The main task of a recruiter is to teach users that have never reviewed a Good article nomination how to review one. To become a recruiter, all you have to do is meet this criteria. If we don't get at least 5-10 recruiters to start off with (at the time this message was sent out, 2 recruiters have volunteered), the Recruitment Centre will not open. If interested, make sure you meet the criteria, read the process and add your name to the list of recruiters. (One of the great things about being a recruiter is that there is no set requirement of what must be taught and when. Instead, all the content found in the process section is a guideline of the main points that should be addressed during a recruitment session...you can also take an entire different approach if you wish!) If you think you will not have the time to recruit any users at this time but are still interested in becoming a recruiter, you can still add your name to the list of recruiters but just fill in the "Status" parameter with "Not Available". Co-Director: The current Director for the centre is me (Dom497). Another user that would be willing to help with some of the tasks would be helpful. Tasks include making sure recruiters are doing what they should be (teaching!), making sure all recruitments are archived correctly, updating pages as needed, answering any questions, and distributing the feedback form. If interested, please contact me (Dom497). Nominators, please read this: If you are not interested in becoming a recruiter, you can still help. In some cases a nominator may have an issue with an "inexperienced" editor (the recruitee) reviewing one of their nominations. To minimize the chances of this happening, if you are fine with a recruitee reviewing one of your nominations under the supervision of the recruiter, please add your name to the list at the bottom of this page. By adding your name to this list, chances are that your nomination will be reviewed more quickly as the recruitee will be asked to choose a nomination from the list of nominators that are OK with them reviewing the article. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me. I look forward to seeing this program bring new reviewers to the Good article community and all the positive things it will bring along. A message will be sent out to all recruiters regarding the date when the Recruitment Centre will open when it is determined. The message will also contain some further details to clarify things that may be a bit confusing.--Dom497 (talk) This message was sent out by --EdwardsBot (talk) 14:48, 9 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello K. I hope that you are well. Thanks for going through all the edits that someone from Amsterdam made on Wilde's article. I started to go through them last night but got bleary eyed and, since they were still editing, went to bed and figured I would deal with them today. It was a delight to see that you had taken care of things. Cheers. MarnetteD | Talk 15:02, 19 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi MD, great to hear from you too. A couple of his edits were reasonable, but many others were arbitrary: for instance, you had subtly approved the use of "disinterred" by simply adding from/to around it. You deserve your rest! Incidentally, have you seen Borgen (TV series)--it's not British TV though is very popular there when broadcast. Best, --Ktlynch (talk) 15:22, 19 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

No I haven't seen it - but I will keep a look out for it now. Several months ago I found this station on my cable. They have news programs from all over the world during the day. In the evening they feature murder mysteries from several countries in Europe. They have an ad for Borgen. Now they might have shown it already but they repeat things so I will keep my fingers crossed for that. They recently finished the first two seasons of Blood of the Vine and I enjoyed it so much that I bought the DVDs. The episode "Golden Wedding In Sauternes" includes a performance by Dominique Pinon that is one of the best I have seen by any actor. They started Annika Bengtzon: Crime Reporter a couple Saturdays ago and I am enjoying it as well. Thanks for the recommendation. MarnetteD | Talk 16:41, 19 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Since you have over 100 edits at Oscar Wilde, you might want to participate in the discussion at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Novels#Derivative_works_and_cultural_references_templates regarding including navigation boxes for adaptations of and related subjects to an authors works on the author's bio page.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 16:41, 25 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your note, and for your kind comments about my additions. One is always nervous about adding to an existing article of high quality, and I'm relieved you don't disapprove. As to the sources, I've just checked and every one in the current list of cited sources is referred to in the references, though a few of them are mentioned only once. See, for instance, note 6, which cites ten sources: quite a lot, but right to cite them all, I think, given the statement they're backing up.

As one of the principal contributors to the article would you be interested in seeing it at FAC? I think it's not far short, and I have a few FAs to my name. I don't want to tread on any toes, but I think it would be good to seek promotion to the top level for the article. I have a few helpful additional notes (offline) from another FA contributor which I shall be looking to act on. Best wishes. (And it's Tim, I beg you, not Mr Riley, though how pleasing to see such scrupulous manners, if I may say so.) – Tim riley (talk) 14:11, 11 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Later: in re removed and now restored section. Did I do that? Probably. So sorry. Incompetence, not malevolence. Tim riley (talk) 14:22, 11 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Again, and thanks for your sharpish response. I admit to not having studied the reflist carefully, my apologies. I'll take another look. I would be very interested in collaborating on the article to FAC. I've gone to FAC once and was disappointed that the article failed to get consensus; the main complaint was that the film was too recent and thus more was sure to be published. (It's an A-class now). Would you like to start posting some ideas on the article's talkpage? I coming back from a wiki break and feel ready to make a push on some quality content. Finally, you are not at fault regarding the section, the history shows an IP blanked it in May and nobody caught it. Best, Ktlynch (talk) 15:48, 11 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

		The Million Award
		For your contributions to bring Oscar Wilde (estimated annual readership: 1,675,000) to Good Article status, I hereby present you the Million Award. Congratulations on this rare accomplishment, and thanks for all you do for Wikipedia's readers. -- Khazar2 (talk) 12:48, 28 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The Million Award is a new initiative to recognize the editors of Wikipedia's most-read content; you can read more about the award and its possible tiers (Quarter Million Award, Half Million Award, and Million Award) at Wikipedia:Million Award. You're also welcome to display this userbox:

If I've made any error in this listing, please don't hesitate to correct it; if for any reason you don't feel you deserve it, please don't hesitate to remove it; if you know of any other editor who merits one of these awards, please don't hesitate to give it; if you yourself deserve another award from any of the three tiers, please don't hesitate to take it! Cheers and all best, -- Khazar2 (talk) 12:48, 28 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Many thanks for your kindness; I fully agree that we should work harder on the articles people read the most.Ktlynch (talk) 22:15, 1 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

My pleasure--I'm a huge Wilde fan, so this is one of my favorites that I got to give out. Congrats again, -- Khazar2 (talk) 22:37, 1 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Ktlynch. I'm contacting you because you're involved in the Article Feedback Tool in some way, either as a previous newsletter recipient or as an active user of the system. As you might have heard, a user recently anonymously disabled the feedback tool on 2,000 pages. We were unable to track or prevent this due to the lack of logging feature in AFT5. We're deeply sorry for this, as we know that quite a few users found the software very useful, and were using it on their articles.

We've now re-released the software, with the addition of a logging feature and restrictions on the ability to disable. Obviously, we're not going to automatically re-enable it on each article—we don't want to create a situation where it was enabled by users who have now moved on, and feedback would sit there unattended—but if you're interested in enabling it for your articles, it's pretty simple to do. Just go to the article you want to enable it on, click the "request feedback" link in the toolbox in the sidebar, and AFT5 will be enabled for that article.

Again, we're very sorry about this issue; hopefully it'll be smooth sailing after this :). If you have any questions, just drop them at the talkpage. Thanks! Okeyes (WMF) 21:34, 1 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Twitter, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Evan Williams (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Bonjour, c'est étrange que vous ne vouliez pas remonter le niveau d'importance d'un tel sujet : vous vous dites épris d'Oscar Wilde, etc. ? N'est-ce pas paradoxal ? Ce magazine est très souvent mentionné dans les essais littéraires concernant cette période, mais aussi dans les Woman's Studies. Mais sans doute suis-je dans l'erreur ? Bonne continuation à vous, -- Spiessens 17:38, 27 December 2015 (UTC) [Sorry for my french, but I saw you mentionned being Fr- level 3.] — Preceding unsigned comment added by Spiessens (talk • contribs)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Re Goldcorp Exchange Ltd, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Tracing. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Guild of Copy Editors June 2016 News Hello everyone, welcome to the June 2016 GOCE newsletter. It's been a few months since we sent one out; we hope y'all haven't forgotten about the Guild! Your coordinators have been busy behind the scenes as usual, though real life has a habit of reducing our personal wiki-time. The May backlog reduction drive, the usual coordinating tasks and preparations for the June election are keeping us on our toes! May drive: Thanks to everyone who participated in last month's record-setting backlog reduction drive. Of the 29 people who signed up, 16 copyedited at least one article, 197 copyedits were recorded on the drive page, and the copyedit backlog fell below 1,500 for the first time! Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here. June Blitz: this one-week copy-editing blitz will occur from 12 June through 18 June; the themes will be video games and Asian geography.
