Working group

It's great to see the working group listed. So many of you, with newcomers too! Which day of the week does your group meet? --99of9 (talk) 04:47, 27 February 2013 (UTC)

The group has been doing some great work so far. We normally meet on Thursdays (next meeting tomorrow). We're also planning the masterclass at the moment (as we discussed after the training last November); Aliaretiree will email details this afternoon to make sure the date is OK with you and sort out content. Rubicon49bce (talk) 05:29, 27 February 2013 (UTC)
Sounds good. --99of9 (talk) 06:02, 27 February 2013 (UTC)

A page you started has been reviewed!

Thanks for creating The Blue Mountain Echo, Rubicon49bce!

Thanks! Rubicon49bce (talk) 20:15, 29 May 2013 (UTC)

DYK

You're welcome. No, you don't need to do anything more, the article is already clearly good enough. If it goes through it will be linked from the front page of Wikipedia, and will get about 1000 readers in a day, maybe more. So any improvements you want to make are worth making beforehand. Also, if you have an idea for a better hook (essay), you're welcome to put that forward. --99of9 (talk) 08:17, 31 May 2013 (UTC)

Great! Re any improvements, will do. Rubicon49bce (talk) 21:44, 2 June 2013 (UTC)
It will be on the front page from 10am-6pm Sydney time on Thursday (June 6th). Get ready to send your tweets etc at 10am! --99of9 (talk) 10:38, 5 June 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for the headsup! We'll be ready ... :) Rubicon49bce (talk) 21:58, 5 June 2013 (UTC)
