== Moth General Articles ==

Hi, I noticed that you're creating a good number of moth genera stubs. The problem is, they seem to be devoid of references. Do you plan on adding them? Or are you just leaving them as is? Regards, ] 23:06, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
:Technically, since they're only stubs, they don't ''require'' references, although I do intend on adding them if/when I add more content. &nbsp; ] ] 23:08, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
::Really? I have to say I've never run across that policy. Can you point me to it? Thanks, ] 23:15, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
:::Don't know if there is one one way or the other- it's more of an "unwritten rule" IIRC. (not everything is written in a clear-cut policy...) However, feel free to prove me wrong if you find a link somewhere- I'll go back and add refs if need be. It just never seemed to be a problem in the past. &nbsp; ] ] 23:22, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
::::Well, I'd have to say the first sentence of ] pretty much says that there should be references. ] 23:36, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
:::::Hmm? Howso? Keep in mind these are one-sentence stubs meant as almost placeholders for articles to be written at some point, not entire articles in themselves... if I were to add any more content, then yes, I would add refs. With the current ''lack of'' anything that should referenced at the moment, though, I still don't see anything to convince me why I should reference the stubs thus far... hope I said that all correctly, it got a bit confusing. :) &nbsp; ] ] 23:57, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
::::::Well, it's not really a big deal, since there's no material in there that would be disputed and probably nothing that's factually wrong, unless you made a mistake on the whole article, which I doubt would happen. I guess I'm just saying that it would be nice if you put refs up to show that the genera actually exist, something like what is expected for articles on towns or cities.] 00:06, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
::::::: Ah, OK, I see what you mean now. :) But yeah, I'll see if I can incorporate some additional info with refs when I create those in the future. &nbsp; ] ] 00:26, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

;<big>From the Judges</big>

Only eleven days in this round to go and it's looking very interesting in the Wildcard race. In particular there is an epic struggle for the automation progression spot at the top of Pool C with only two points in it as I type. In other news, congratulations to Durova for her 200th successful featured picture nomination on the English Misplaced Pages – well done!

Country outlines project update – 2009/03/08

Remember "Around the World"?

Well, we've been around the World, and around again (virtually speaking, on Misplaced Pages), on this project.

Things have been slowing down again, so it's time for a big push...

We've gone live

This project needed a shot in the arm. Also, its draft pages have been littering Misplaced Pages's categories for months. The time seemed right to move all the country outline drafts to article space.

WHAT???

Well, the drafts had been sitting in Misplaced Pages space for a year.

WHAT???

Development has been moving at a snail's pace and we could use the help of the Misplaced Pages community at large (who are more likely to find these if they are in article space).

WHAT???

Yes, we've gone live.  :)

This puts pressure on us to get the blatantly incomplete elements of these outlines done. The only glaring problem is the government branches sections. These need to be corrected ASAP.

I've mentioned THE GOVERNMENT BRANCHES SECTIONS many times to many people over the past year, but the problem just doesn't seem to have been taken seriously. So let me put it another way:

HELP!!! I need your help on this now. Almost all the countries have a government with an executive branch, a legislative branch, and a judicial branch. The links for these branches need to be completed for each country outline:

Here's a convenient list you can use WP:LINKY on to access and edit these quickly. Please copy the list's link to the top of your talk page so that you can access it easily.

If you spot any standardization in links, and ways we can automate parts of this process, or for groups of countries that have links in common, please let me know!

Administrative support for outlines

There has been growing pressure on me to write up the administrative pages for outlines – their instructions, guidelines, etc. Therefore, I'm now in the process of composing these. Fortunately, it is mostly a matter of gathering material from messages I've written to you guys over the past year. Still, this is taking up most of my time, and I will be buried in these for the foreseeable future.

Traffic control

The next big task after the government branches sections are cleaned up is link support for the outlines.

There's quite a list of links and notices that need to be put in place around Misplaced Pages, providing access to them to readers, and alerting editors to the need to develop and maintain these pages. This will keep our bot people very busy (and happy).

But the most important thing right now is to get the government branches sections completed. So please, put your bots aside, roll up your shirt sleeves, and start typing.

Thank you.

I think it's safe to say that this week is probably your last chance to nominate anything for promotion to count in this round, so start planning that all-important final push. Bear in mind that anything not promoted this month will still count in the next round if you go through. It's looking very close in the Wildcards section, so if you don't see yourself there, don't panic—you may not be too far off the pace!  GARDEN , iMatthew // talk, and The Helpful One

Geography WikiProject update – 03/15/2009

You commented on the awards effort when it was just getting started a long while back – I thought you might like to see the end results...

The award images are complete!

After months of toil and attention to detail, Penubag has completed the set of images for this WikiProject's awards!

There are five race ribbons:

There's an engraved medallion:

And by far the hardest to create, a golden trophy:

If you have any ideas about awards these images can be placed upon, and how to award them (to show appreciation and to attract participants), please let me know.

And be sure to pop by Penubag's talk page to let him know what you think of his graphics artistry.

What a brilliant finale to Round 1. With so little in it it was always going to be a tight contest, particularly in the all-important wildcard places. Congratulations to all those who have made it to Round 2, an commiserations to all who have been eliminated. I hope you continue to contribute as fully as you have been in the tournament, if not better!

As has been stated before, Round 2 begins Wednesday, April 1 2009. I hope you are all ready!

The start of Round 2 has been in some respects an explosive one, with one user in particular almost in the triple figures after just a week. There are obviously contestants with no points or very few, but as it is so early in the round this can probably be excused. Keep it up everyone!

Note that due to unforeseen circumstances, Mitchazenia has been eliminated from the contest. Apologies for any inconvenience caused.

A great week for Sasata with the biggest jump in score for a long while – 336 – so well done! It's nearing the end of this round, remember, which will end on May 29. It would it your best interest to nominate GANs now to avoid missing out.

:-(

Sorry to see you go. I still remember how much you helped me out when I was a n00b. Best of luck in whatever you decide to do IRL. J.delanoyadds 23:36, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

Oops, sorry! I'm not really leaving; when I put "bye", I was sorta talking to my messages by saying "bye" to them as I archived them. :P Sorry for the confusion.   JJ (talk) 00:37, 16 May 2009 (UTC)
Oh, good :D J.delanoyadds 00:46, 16 May 2009 (UTC)
Haha, I would never leave completely from here :)   JJ (talk) 00:47, 16 May 2009 (UTC)
Ah, that's good to hear. :-) — RyanCross (talk) 07:16, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

GA Sweeps invitation

Hello, I hope you are doing well. I am sending you this message since you are listed as a GA reviewer. I would like to invite you to consider helping with the GA sweeps process. Sweeps helps to ensure that the oldest GAs still meet the criteria, and improve the quality of GAs overall. Unfortunately, last month only two articles were reviewed. This is definitely a low point after our peak at the beginning of the process when 163 articles were reviewed in September 2007. After nearly two years, the running total has just passed the 50% mark. In order to expediate the reviewing, several changes have been made to the process. A new worklist has been created, detailing which articles are left to review. All exempt and previously reviewed articles have already been removed from the list. Instead of reviewing by topic, you can consider picking and choosing whichever articles interest you.

We are always looking for new members to assist with the remaining articles, so if you are interested or know of anybody that can assist, please visit the GA sweeps page. In addition, for every member that reviews 100 articles or has a significant impact on the process, s/he will get an award when they reach that threshold. If only 14 editors achieve this feat starting now, we would be done with Sweeps! Of course, having more people reviewing less articles would be better for all involved, so please consider asking others to help out. Feel free to stop by and only review a few articles, something's better than nothing! Take a look at the list, and see what articles interest you. Let's work to complete Sweeps so that efforts can be fully focused on the backlog at GAN. If you have any questions about the process, reviewing, or need help with a particular article, please contact me or OhanaUnited and we'll be happy to help. --Happy editing!

Moth General Articles

Hi, I noticed that you're creating a good number of moth genera stubs. The problem is, they seem to be devoid of references. Do you plan on adding them? Or are you just leaving them as is? Regards, ƒingersRoids 23:06, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

Technically, since they're only stubs, they don't require references, although I do intend on adding them if/when I add more content.   JJ (talk) 23:08, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
Really? I have to say I've never run across that policy. Can you point me to it? Thanks, ƒingersRoids 23:15, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
Don't know if there is one one way or the other- it's more of an "unwritten rule" IIRC. (not everything is written in a clear-cut policy...) However, feel free to prove me wrong if you find a link somewhere- I'll go back and add refs if need be. It just never seemed to be a problem in the past.   JJ (talk) 23:22, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
Well, I'd have to say the first sentence of WP:SOURCES pretty much says that there should be references. ƒingersRoids 23:36, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
Hmm? Howso? Keep in mind these are one-sentence stubs meant as almost placeholders for articles to be written at some point, not entire articles in themselves... if I were to add any more content, then yes, I would add refs. With the current lack of anything that should referenced at the moment, though, I still don't see anything to convince me why I should reference the stubs thus far... hope I said that all correctly, it got a bit confusing. :)   JJ (talk) 23:57, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
Well, it's not really a big deal, since there's no material in there that would be disputed and probably nothing that's factually wrong, unless you made a mistake on the whole article, which I doubt would happen. I guess I'm just saying that it would be nice if you put refs up to show that the genera actually exist, something like what is expected for articles on towns or cities.ƒingersRoids 00:06, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
Ah, OK, I see what you mean now. :) But yeah, I'll see if I can incorporate some additional info with refs when I create those in the future.   JJ (talk) 00:26, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

From the Judges

Only eleven days in this round to go and it's looking very interesting in the Wildcard race. In particular there is an epic struggle for the automation progression spot at the top of Pool C with only two points in it as I type. In other news, congratulations to Durova for her 200th successful featured picture nomination on the English Misplaced Pages – well done!
