Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 07:10, 9 March 2007

I'm sorry to say that given the size of my watchlist it is impractical for me to keep track of responses on other pages. Bearing that in mind, I would request that, if I make a response on your talk page, you respond there, and I don't respond there within a day or two, that you maybe come to the conclusion that I didn't see your response on my watchlist, and post the reply here. Thank you.

Welcome to the Kindness Campaign!

Just my way of saying thanks to newcomers to the Kindness Campaign... a delicious home-baked chocolate chip cookie! Yum. :D  ♥ Kylu  (talk • contribs • email • logs • count)

Adair County

I apologize if I'm not going about this the right way, but may I ask how you know so much about Adair County, Kentucky; esp info about William Palmer Jones?

Living persons

OK. I will remember that. I just remember reading in wikipedia somewhere that, so to prevent possiblity of lawsuits in this area, to list a person as living if the article does not have a reputable source indicating otherwise.

Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Pak-Afghan Relations

Thanks Badbilltucker for adding Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Pak-Afghan Relations to WikiProject Council,

It needs expansion. and it is part of WikiProject Politics.

DYK

On 24 September, 2006, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article George J. Adler, which you created. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

Thanks Blufawn

Smile

Diocesan Infobox

To the creators of Diocesan/Archdiocesan articles

I have proposed at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Catholicism an infobox for Catholic Dioceses. I have not gotten any feedback on this proposal, so I’m culling feedback, advice, corrections, etc. for this. If you have the time, would you check out User:SkierRMH/Diocese_Infobox and give me some feedback! Thanks much!!

LGBT WikiProject Newsletter

The LGBT studies WikiProject Newsletter! Issue II - January 1, 2007

Happy New Year to all our members! Project News Several new templates have been created: {{Bi}} and {{Transgender}} by Dev920 and AliceJMarkham respectively. SatyrTN also created a {{LGBT Welcome}} template to welcome new members. Thanks to them all. The LGBT Portal's various sections could do with updating on a weekly basis. Please pitch in if you can. Latter Days became a Featured Article on December 31. It was written and nominated by Dev920. Congratulations Dev! A new assessment system has been implemented - we have tagged and assessed over 1100 articles so far! Please tag any LGBT related articles you come across by adding {{LGBTProject | class=}} to the talkpage. Please see the Assessment Department for how to assess an article according to the grading system. A fledgling monthly LGBT Collaboration has been started, with Homosexuality as the December article and Gay stereotyping as our January article. Please contribute to this if you can, even if it's just correcting typos. A Translation department has been set up, to translate LGBT articles from foreign language Wikipedias that may have more information than our equivalent article. Please add your name if you are fluent in any language other than English. We have a brand new unique Project! Jumpaclass is a new semi-competition to improve our lower quality articles - see the subpage for more information. Please sign up and get it going! Finally, our membership numbers have exploded! 21 new users have joined the Wikiproject: AdelaMae, WJBscribe, Trodaikid1983, Jtowns, Agne27, Boyau, NickGorton, Dialecticas, DaliJim, Tonei, Cabbers, silent, Textorus, GLGerman, Haiduc, Hornandsoccer, Bopopop, NinaOdell, Badbilltucker, DanB DanD, and Tiger Marc. Please make them feel welcome!

Assessments

I am very sorry. I didn't mean to defame or criticise anyone. Kkrystian 19:14 (UTC+1) 3 Januray 2007

Rare breed article discussions

Thanks for thinking of me but I think with my previous history being deleted for the same sort of thing I will sit this one out. I have heard of British Bulldogge and Olde English Bulldogge but don't know enough about them to comment, I'm more of a hound person myself. Blufawn

WP:LDS Assessment and subpages

Thanks for your note. I've responded on my talk page. -User:Visorstuff

Tamaskan

I just want to make sure before I put my article up again that you think I have enough referances. We have The Tamaskan Dog Register website, Tamaskan Dog Society of Great Britain website, National Tamaskan Club of America website, The Tamaskan Dog Showing Club at judgedogs.com we have 4 breeders websites in 3 different countries. We also have 2 local newspaper articles, a Tamaskan Brochure (although it is published by the register and has no IBAN no. as it is a brochure not book) as well as the old Tamaskan Breeders guide, a mention in Our Dogs and a profile on dogbreedinfo.com do you think that would be enough or should I leave it a bit longer until we have a bit more positive publicity?

LGBT WikiProject Newsletter

The LGBT studies WikiProject Newsletter! Issue III - February 1, 2007

Announcement: If someone requests help or feedback on an article, please try your hardest to help them out if you are able. Thank you. Project News The LGBT Portal has once again been revamped and a work rota started. Efforts towards Featured Portal status are slowly coming together. The assessment system has been a great success, we have tagged over 4000 articles! Please tag any LGBT related articles you come across by adding {{LGBTProject | class=}} to the talkpage. Please see the Assessment Department for how to assess an article according to the grading system. The Translation department has changed its focus, to LGBT articles about non-English topics and people on which there may be more information on the relevant foreign Misplaced Pages. Please add your name if you are fluent in any language other than English. Jumpaclass is picking up slowly, with nine people having entered. With over 2000 stubs we need to improve our article quality. Please sign up and get it going! Challenge another user to see how far you can jump a stub! There is an ongoing discussion about the current LGBT categorisation system here, here, and a little bit here. A special page has now been set up here to deal with this. A Watchlist has been set up to monitor controversial and/or highly vandalised articles. It can also be used for article disputes, just add a note explaining the nature of the dispute. With the influx of so many active members, there is now enough support for a LGBT studies peer review, which may be found here. It's in the beta phase at the moment, so bear with us if we make any mistakes. Feel free to peer review any articles you have been working on. It was agreed this month to start reducing the uses of the Notice board, as many members felt that it was not effective. An open tasks template has been created, bringing together important announcements, FAC/FARs, Peer reviews, XfDs, the COTM, and requested articles. You may desire to watchlist it. A Deletion sorting subpage is also now working to bring together XfDs - this should be bot-driven, but we have not currently tagged enough articles to make this fully automated, so please update the list with any LGBT-related XfDs you come across. Article news Two articles were recently shepherded through the Featured Article process by two of our members - Same-sex marriage in Spain and The Well of Loneliness. Congratulations go to (respectively) Raystorm and Celithemis! Member News We more than doubled our membership this month! 53 new users have joined the Wikiproject: Aleta, Koweja, Profriend, Andrewn, Carolynparrishfan, Cpnlsn88, Brian1979, Tullerk, Garydw, Ganymead, Celithemis, Burnley, Lquilter, Parammon, Forsakendaemon, Allyn, bcatt, Dfeuer, Raystorm, Fabienne1, Esprix, Antanta, Janusvulcan, Elizabeth Lund, Ashleyvh, E.

Experiments in the Revival of Organisms Paranormal Box

I'm removing this box from the article in question. While the film is strange and somewhat controversial, there is nothing paranormal or supernatural about the experiment it records.

WP:LGBT Coordinator Election Notice

This is just a quick, automated note to let you know that there is an election being conducted over the next 7 days for the position of "Coordinator" for the LGBT WikiProject. Your participation is requested. -- SatyrTN (talk · contribs) |}

Origin of life ≠ Intelligent Design!

Hi! You proposed that Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Origin of life and related debates was to be merged with Misplaced Pages:WikiProject intelligent design. I dispute this. Have I got any notion wrongly?? To emphasize: I'm a christian evolutionist, believing that God used some complex chemistry which is perfectly legal and moral to research. Pretty pissed off by christians defining creationists to be the "only true christians", I dislike being associated by either creationism or intelligent design. Please discuss this matter in Misplaced Pages:WikiProject_Origin_of_life_and_related_debates#Merger! Rursus 11:26, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Helping out with the Unassessed Misplaced Pages Biographies

Seeing that you are an active member of the WikiBiography Project, I was wondering if you would help lend a hand in helping us clear out the amount of unassessed articles tagged with {{WPBiography}}. Many of them are of stub and start class, but a few are of B or A caliber. Getting a simple assessment rating can help us start moving many of these biographies to a higher quality article. Thank you! --Ozgod 20:16, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Dog-Project-Tags

Would you mind, if i remove the tags you added to the pages related to the Werewolf-Roleplaying game ? Heinrich k 21:40, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Alabama project

I created the project page for the project above, seeing as you had already created the banner, but not the project page. John Carter 16:46, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Wyoming project

I also created a temporary project page for your Wyoming project proposal. John Carter 18:32, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Proposed projects

I have taken the liberty of doing some expansion of some of the projects you have proposed. Please feel free to make any other changes you see fit. I was going to ask you to perhaps move some of them into main space at some point, but you seem to have been gone for some time. Therefore, whether you ever do come back or not, I think in time I might start moving some of them out into main space at some point myself. If you ever do come back, of course, please feel free to do so yourself. John Carter 18:45, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

LGBT WikiProject newsletter

The LGBT studies WikiProject Newsletter

The LGBT studies WikiProject Newsletter! Issue IV - March 1, 2007 Monthly Challenge: Find 5 editors to LGBT articles and invite them to the project! Check out our recruitment tips if you need them. Good luck! Project News With such rapid development of the project, it was decided that a Coordinator was needed to ensure all the fiddly maintenence was kept up. Elections were held and Dev920 (talk · contribs) has been elected Coordinator for the next three months. She said "I am honoured and proud to be at the helm of such a fantastic WikiProject and look forward to our future". Congratulations Dev! The assessment system continues to be a great success, we have tagged over 5200 articles! Please tag any LGBT related articles you come across by adding {{LGBTProject | class=}} to the talkpage. Please see the Assessment Department for how to assess an article according to the grading system. Jumpaclass is proving to be quite successful! The winner at the end of the year gets to pick the January collaboration, so sign up and get going! Or challenge another user to see how far you can jump a stub! A new Community department has been set up to foster community amongst our members. It mostly acts as other WikiProjects' Outreach department, but also has a Quilt to which every member is entitled to add a square containing anything of their choice. The peer review is not getting much custom - please notice you can cross-list other peer reviews from different projects that also fall within our scope. Many people still seem to be unaware that the Deletion sorting subpage exists for XfDs to be listed: please use and watch that page instead of issuing "alerts" for ordinary AfDs on the project talkpage. WP:FILM has a current drive to give every film article an infobox. WP:LGBT successfully gave all 105 LGBT infoboxless films infoboxes, so a big thank you to everyone who participated. A new template, LGBT-footer, has been created for articles which are becoming to cluttered with infoboxes. Thanks to WJBscribe and SatyrTN for creating it. A very basic resources page has been started. Please add to it as you come across useful sites. A promotional poster for the project has been created: http://wplgbt.tripod.com/Wikipedianeedsyou.doc (you have to directly cut and paste the url, or it won't let you download it). Please distribute anywhere and everywhere you desire, such as gay libraries, cybercafes, community centres and so on. Also, please let Dev920 know where you have put it up, so she can keep track of our coverage. An LGBT Publications Taskforce has been proposed. Please sign up here if you are interested in being involved. An LGBT WikiProject has been set up on the Spanish Misplaced Pages! Set up by Raystorm, it has already gained six members and is developing an assessment system. If you speak any Spanish, please consider going up and lending a hand if you can! Article News An LGBT article, Homosexual readings of Jesus and John, made it onto the main page as a DYK this month. Congratulations to Haiduc, who wrote the article. Another article, Same-sex marriage in Italy, also made it onto the main page as a DYK this month. Congratulations to Raystorm, who wrote the article.

The Copyeditor's Barnstar

I noticed you voiced an opinion in the first discussion on a Copyeditor's Barnstar/Award which was archived without decision. If you haven't already, would you please check in with the current discussion? The !votes/opinions from the first discussion, althought noted at the top, are not being counted in the current tally. It would be great if you would also weigh in on your preference of graphic design from among the choices (currently eight different images, the last being added at around 15:23, Thursday, 1 March 2007). If you !vote, please update the tally near the top of the discussion. Thanks. --Pig_{Talk to me} 22:03, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Please Vote YES to keep Category: Tamil_Americans

Hi,

There is a vote started by Bakasuprman to delete and merge the Category: Tamil_Americans to Indian Americans and Sri Lankan Americans. This negative action will further divide the Tamils into either Indian or Sri Lankan. Furthermore, it will undermine the diversity of Misplaced Pages and around the world. This is really uncalled for, and just a spitefull request by user Bakasuprman. So, please vote YES to keep the Category: Tamil Americans here.

Also, if you could get others to vote yes, it would be appreciated. Thank you. Wiki Raja 07:00, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Please Vote YES to keep Category: Keralite_Americans

Hello again,

I have found out that there is a vote going on whether to keep the Category:Keralite_Americans or merge it to Indian Americans. I have voted to keep the Category Keralite Americans, or to change it to Malayalee Americans instead of generically merging it to Indian Americans. My argument was that if someone is not born in India, then it does not make their nationality Indian. Furthermore, it will undermine the diversity of Misplaced Pages and around the world. If you are interested in voting to keep the Category: Keralite_Americans, please do so here.
