Thank you for your RfA support

Hi there, a bit of a form letter from me, Cyphoidbomb, but I wanted to drop you a line and thank you for your support at my recent RfA. Although I was not successful, I certainly learned quite a bit both about the RfA process and about how the community views my contributions. It was an eye-opener. Thank you! Cyphoidbomb (talk) 00:33, 30 March 2014 (UTC)

@Cyphoidbomb: Your welcome  . I would also want to thank you on your appreciation on this wonderful community. You showed courageousness during your RFA by doing the best you could. Also you accepting an RfA nomination shows that you are determine to prove yourself right. If your interested maybe wait another 6 months and make a second nomination. Best, ///EuroCarGT 00:43, 30 March 2014 (UTC)

WikiCup 2014 March newsletter

A quick update as we are half way through round two of this year's competition. WikiCup newcomer   Godot13 (submissions) (Pool E) leads, having produced a massive set of featured pictures for Silver certificate (United States), an article also brought to featured list status. Former finalist   Adam Cuerden (submissions) (Pool G) is in second, which he owes mostly to his work with historical images, including a number of images from Urania's Mirror, an article also brought to good status. 2010 champion (Pool C) is third overall, thanks to contributions relating to naval history, including the newly featured Japanese battleship Nagato.   Cliftonian (submissions), who currently leads Pool A and is sixth overall, takes the title for the highest scoring individual article of the competition so far, with the top importance featured article Ian Smith.

With 26 people having already scored over 100 points, it is likely that well over 100 points will be needed to secure a place in round 3. Recent years have required 123 (2013), 65 (2012), 41 (2011) and 100 (2010). Remember that only 64 will progress to round 3 at the end of April. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page; if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points equally. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to help keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Kathrine Harrison at Botanical Dimentions.jpg

 

A tag has been placed on File:Kathrine Harrison at Botanical Dimentions.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image page for a missing or corrupt image or an empty image description page for a Commons-hosted image.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. ///EuroCarGT 03:49, 8 April 2014 (UTC)

We need your help testing latest huggle

Hello,

I am sending you this message because you listed yourself on meta:Huggle/Members as a beta tester. We desperately need attention of testers, because since we resolved all release blockers, we are ready to release first official version of huggle 3! Before that happens, it would be nice if you could test it so that we can make sure there are no issues with it. You can download it packaged for your operating system (see Wikipedia:Huggle/Huggle3_Beta) or you can of course build it yourself, see https://github.com/huggle/huggle3-qt-lx for that. Don't forget to use always latest version, there is no auto-update message for beta versions!

Should you find any issue, please report it to wikimedia bugzilla, that is a central place for huggle bugs, where we look at them. That is i mportant, if you find a bug and won't report it, we can't fix it. Thank you for your work on this, if you have any questions, please send me a message on my talk page, I won't be looking for responses here. Thanks, Petrb (talk) 15:11, 10 April 2014 (UTC)

Speedy deletion overturned

Back in August, you tagged Hui Cambrelen for speedy deletion, and I duly deleted it. A few days ago, Graeme Bartlett restored the article, without telling you, as far as I can see. I am letting you know, so that you can take it to AfD if you wish to. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 12:04, 14 April 2014 (UTC)

@JamesBWatson: I'm cool with it. I've seen the request at Wikipedia:Requests for undeletion/Archive 126#Hui Cambrelen seems alright. ///EuroCarGT 20:00, 14 April 2014 (UTC)

Admin

Hi, would you like to be an administrator? It seems that you could use the tools and if you would like to have them, I'd be happy to nominate you. --AmaryllisGardener talk 20:49, 24 April 2014 (UTC)

@AmaryllisGardener: Hey AmaryllisGardener! Thank you for your consideration. I am interested in becoming an administrator. Would you like to review my contributions? Best, ///EuroCarGT 23:52, 24 April 2014 (UTC)
Looks good. A review of your edits show civility, good edit summary usage, friendlyness, and a lot of experience combating vandalism. You by far satisfy my criteria. So, ready for me to nominate? --AmaryllisGardener talk 00:37, 25 April 2014 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: User:LinhartPR

Hello EuroCarGT. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of User:LinhartPR, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Not unambiguously promotional. Thank you. — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 02:38, 25 April 2014 (UTC)

@Malik Shabazz: Hey Malik Shabazz! May you please re-review your decision? I believe the page is promotional with promotional text that includes: "Our firm provides key services in media relations". Cheers, ///EuroCarGT 02:48, 25 April 2014 (UTC)
It then says they "plan to make strictly factual, unbiased contributions amongst the Wikipedia community." It looks like a User page, not an advertisement for their firm. I'm going to take a wait-and-see approach toward them. — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 02:51, 25 April 2014 (UTC)
@Malik Shabazz: Alrighty, just a curiosity. Best, ///EuroCarGT 02:55, 25 April 2014 (UTC)
