Magic Johnson has been chosen to be our very first Collaboration of the Month article. Although this is article is already a Good Article, it still can be improved. The goal is to improve this article by the end of May so that it can be nominated for Featured Article status. In particular, free-use images should be found for the article, all Manual of Style guidelines should be followed, and a neutral point of view should be maintained throughout the article. If there is anything you can do to improve the article, then please help out. |

Re: Salutations edit
Hi Natalya! How's the encyclopedia treating you nowadays? :) Eric (EWS23) 20:59, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
- Hey Eric - nice to see you around! The encyclopedia is going pretty well; just recently got back into the swing of things here, and it's warning up well. And yourself? -- Natalya 21:03, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
- Doing well here. I can never be sure how long I'll be around, but I've been in the mood to edit quite a bit recently. Perhaps that's the key to an effective Wikibreak- staying away until you absolutely have to come back. :) Eric (EWS23) 21:06, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
- It's always nice to come back and really be in the mood to edit. And when not... well, that's what real life is for! :) Yeah, I'd been popping by randomly and editing like one or two things, but I've been back more consistantly for a bit now. -- Natalya 21:10, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

Hey!! edit
Thanks for the really kind note on my talk page! And thanks for the vote of confidence. I'd like to extend the same invitation to you; if there's anything I can ever do for you, short of assassinating someone, please feel free to ask. I'd be very glad to help. Cheers!

Last month's Collaboration of the Month, Magic Johnson was a great success. A total of 560 edits were made to the article during the month of May, and the article was eventually nominated as a Featured Article Candidate. Although the article was not promoted, it was significantly improved through the work of many editors. This month's Collaboration of the Month is Steve Nash. Although this is article is already a Good Article, it still can be improved. In particular, all prose should conform to Featured Article standards, all statements should be verified, and the text should be in a neutral point of view. If there is anything you can do to improve the article, then please help out.
 The Collaborator of the Month is given to the editor with the most number of substantial, beneficial edits to the article chosen as the Collaboration of the Month. This month's Collaborator of the Month award goes to Chensiyuan (talk · contribs). Although he had previously helped Magic Johnson to became a Good article, he made literally hundreds of edits during the month of May. For his contributions, he is rewarded with the NBA Collaborator of the Month Award. However, all beneficial edits made by any editor was a help. Other members of the project that contributed to the article include:

On wiki > off wiki edit
Nice to see you still contributing around. Somehow I've managed to find myself back here in a more permanent fashion. :) I hope things are going well for you, and that you are experiencing all the joy and prosperity that you wish on others! -- Natalya 02:50, 19 June 2008 (UTC) P.S. - After reading through all my talk page archives and recalling fondly how friendly the atmosphere once was, I'm stealing your post-Esperanza userbox. Hope you don't mind. :)
- I'm glad to hear things are going so well for you off-wiki! After all, that is the one that really matters! If the actual job is new, congratulations! And if not, still cool. Things are going pretty well for me too, which is quite lovely. Hopefully it will continue in similar fashions for both of us
- I agree - we can still spread a sense of community, and hopefully improve Wikipedia for those editors who we can. We can only do our best! Tis great to hear from you. -- Natalya 01:33, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
Replaceable fair use Image:Viktor Sanikidze.jpg edit
Thanks for uploading Image:Viktor Sanikidze.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:
- Go to the media description page and edit it to add
{{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template. - On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? dave pape (talk) 00:17, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
Orphaned non-free media (Image:WFRE-FM.gif) edit
){kind=link}
Thanks for uploading Image:WFRE-FM.gif. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:20, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
Notability of User:EWS23/CSD/Fall Out Boy edit
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on User:EWS23/CSD/Fall Out Boy, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because User:EWS23/CSD/Fall Out Boy seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.
To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting User:EWS23/CSD/Fall Out Boy, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Mentorship Committee edit
I'm contacting you because your name is listed at Wikipedia:Meetup/Utah.
Please consider reviewing my edit at Wikipedia:Mentorship#Unintended consequences. In the search for a mentor deemed acceptable by ArbCom, I view this as a useful context for discussing what I have in mind.
There is no obvious congruence between your editing interests and mine, but perhaps the disjunction presents a novel opportunity.
Will you consider looking into whether you might agree to join others in a Mentorship Committee which advises me?
- In any case -- even if you are disinclined to pursue the primary thrust of this diff, I wonder if I might be able to tweak your curiosity with an article about 95-year-old Patrick Lennox Tierney? He is a Japanologist academic in the field of art history, an emeritus professor of the University of Utah, a former Curator of Japanese Art at the Utah Museum of Fine Arts, and a former Commissioner of Art and Monuments during the Allied Occupation of Japan (1945-1952). I think this elderly man still lives near the University. Tierney came to my attention because the Japanese government conferred the Order of the Rising Sun, Gold Rays with Neck Ribbon in 2007.
- Perhaps the most intriguing aspect of Tierney's life concerns his work for the Supreme Commander of the Allied Powers (SCAP), Gen. Douglas MacArthur. Tierney's office was near MacArthur's suite in SCAP headquarters. Tierney was an eyewitness on the day Emperor Hirohito came to offer a formal apology; but when the emperor arrived, MacArthur refused to admit him or acknowledge him. Issues which might have been addressed were allowed to remain open, with consequences which unfolded across the decades which followed. In 2006, Tierney made an effort to explain his understanding of what he had personally observed: "Apology is a very important thing in Japan. With us, we don't apologize unless we get caught with our hand in the cookie jar, but for the Japanese, there is a very strong sense of what an apology means." According to popular historian Herbert Bix in Hirohito and the Making of Modern Japan, "MacArthur's truly extraordinary measures to save Hirohito from trial as a war criminal had a lasting and profoundly distorting impact on Japanese understanding of the lost war."
Among a prospective mentor's many burdens, the most difficult would involve (a) helping me discern why or when I should apologize or (b) helping me to explain why or when I will not apologize in a wiki-context. --Tenmei (talk) 02:26, 26 December 2009 (UTC)
