[edit]Thank you for participating in my "RecFA", which passed with a final tally of 153/39/22. There were issues raised regarding my adminship that I intend to cogitate upon, but I am grateful for the very many supportive comments I received and for the efforts of certain editors (Ceoil, Noroton and Lar especially) in responding to some issues. I wish to note how humbled I was when I read Buster7's support comment, although a fair majority gave me great pleasure. I would also note those whose opposes or neutral were based in process concerns and who otherwise commented kindly in regard to my record. ~~~~~ | ![]() |
Welcome Back!
[edit]Yo Mikhailov!, good to hear from you again. Where you been for all that time?. Anyway, sure I'll accept those invatations. I am a person who recreates redirected article that people (especially one's who know/know alot about the page subject) just delete and not edit them. I've even asked people why they do that!, so yeah, I'll accept those invites, I love european music (They know how to make FANTASTIC music, unlike alot of American bands. Heck, I'm even European and I am pretty good at singing and doing some other musical things. I am also in a band, we don't have a fully decided name, but I think were gonna be called Pectoralz). Respond (if you can) ASAP. See ya round, and don't let the bastards grind ya down! (Hmm. What song could I be taking this from?)

Question about WikiProject South Carolina
[edit]Greetings, I have been watching WikiProject South Carolina for a while and it doesn't appear to be very active and I had a proposition for the members to consider. I would like to pull WPUS under WikiProject United States to some degree. I am not necessarily talking a full merger unless thats what the members of WPSC want but here is what I mean.
- The project would stay the way it is except for a couple things. I would like to replace {{WikiProject South Carolina}} with {{WikiProject United States}} and add WPSC to the list of Projects supported by WPUS. This would include replacing the WPSC template on the talk pages of the articles with WPUS/South Carolina (if you want to see an examply you camn look at Washington DC).
- I would also add it to the list of Projects supported by WPUS on the main WPUS landing page.
This would do a couple things that I think would benefit both projects.
- It would increase visibility of South Carolina and related articles to a much larger user base
- It would allow WPSC to more easily benefit from the Bots running for WPUS. This includes article alert bot that warns of Articles and Images for deletion or Promotion. This would ensure maximum visibility if an article relating to South Carolina was submitted for deletion or promotion.
- It would allow the South Carolina related articles to fall under the WPUS and South Carolina scope.
- It would somewhat reduce the maintenance required by consolidating the templates
- It would reduce the number of templates visibile on the articles
- In addition to the above, I typically cycle through all the articles in the WPUS scope every month or 2 fixing various things (sections, typos, persondata, categories, etc) and this would allow the South Carolina articles to fall under that much more easily.
Please let me know what thoughts or ideas you have about this and if the other members would be receptive to this. I also added a message to the talk page of WikiProject South Carolina. Thanks in advance. --Kumioko (talk) 20:58, 11 January 2011 (UTC)

Help Save Article - Speedy deletion nomination of Barbara Kanam
[edit]
A tag has been placed on Barbara Kanam, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia for multiple reasons. Please see the page to see the reasons. If the page has since been deleted, you can ask me the reasons by leaving a message on my user talk page.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}
) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. mabdul 15:28, 28 May 2011 (UTC)

Guardian Angel wanted
[edit]- I am asking unofficially on behalf of anon users in desperate need of help at Talk:Notzrim on how to deal with disruptions to team efforts by a very belligerent/aggressive sock-puppet/troll. Once upon a time anon-users were an integral part of the building of the encyclopedia, but now we are increasingly sidelined due to bad behavior of a troublesome but comparatively small minority. On principle I do not want to get a wiki account. I hope this choice can be respected. But I find that my requests for help are being ignored. I am looking for a guardian angel from someone very experienced in wiki policy to watch over our process and a friendly voice to tell us where we are going wrong. Can you recommend anyone or at least point me in the right direction? :( 81.103.121.144 (talk) 11:38, 25 June 2011 (UTC)
Proposed Tibetan naming conventions
[edit]A while back, I posted a new proposal for Tibetan naming conventions, i.e. conventions that can be used to determine the most appropriate titles for articles related to the Tibetan region. This came out of discussions about article titles on Talk:Qamdo and Talk:Lhoka (Shannan) Prefecture. I hope that discussions on the proposal's talk page will lead to consensus in favour of making these conventions official, but so far only a few editors have left comments. If you would be interested in taking a look at the proposed naming conventions and giving your opinion, I would definitely appreciate it. Thanks—Nat Krause(Talk!·What have I done?) 15:49, 2 July 2011 (UTC)

WikiProject India Tag & Assess 2012 Contest
[edit]Hello friends, we are a number of editors from WikiProject India have got together to assess the many thousands of articles under the stewardship of the project, and we'd love to have you, a fellow member, join us. These articles require assessment, that is, the addition of a WikiProject template to the talk page of an article, assessing it for quality and importance and adding a few extra parameters to it.
As of March 11, 2012, 07:00 UTC, WikiProject India has 95,998 articles under its stewardship. Of these 13,980 articles are completely unassessed (both for class and importance) and another 42,415 articles are unassessed for importance only. Accordingly, a Tag & Assess 2012 drive-cum-contest has begun from March 01, 2012 to last till May 31, 2012.
If you are new to assessment, you can learn the minimum about how to evaluate from Part One of the Assessment Guide. Part Two of the Guide will help you learn to employ the full functionality of the talk page template, should you choose to do so.
You can sign up on the Tag & Assess page. There are a number of awards to be given in recognition of your efforts. Come & join us to take part in this exciting new venture. You'll learn more about India in this way.

[edit]Hi
I'm contacting you because, as a participant at Wikiproject Medicine, you may be interested in a new multinational non-profit organization we're forming at m:Wikimedia Medicine. Even if you don't want to be actively involved, any ideas you may have about our structure and aims would be very welcome on the project's talk page.
Our purpose is to help improve the range and quality of free online medical content, and we'll be working with like-minded organizations, such as the World Health Organization, professional and scholarly societies, medical schools, governments and NGOs - including Translators Without Borders.
Hope to see you there! --Anthonyhcole (talk) 07:01, 9 November 2012 (UTC)
