Nope never used it. Gary King (talk) 00:49, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

Hi

Hey, it's a tough job but somebodys got to do it. My rollback feature on Lupin's anti-vandal isn't working (by the time I get to vandalized pages, they're already reverted). So I have discovered new pages and it's good. Sometimes, it's hard to tell whether to delete or not though. Ah well, more kids who think their biographies are of world interest to put right. =] Olly150 22:28, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

Well I looked at your anti-vandal edits and saw your lack of recognition for it so I will award you a barnstar for your hardwork. =] Olly150 22:36, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
Thanks a lot - my first barnstar. Perfect place for it =] - The code on the barnstar I put on your page is a bit off - I hope you don't mind a few extra parenthesis! Olly150 22:47, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
Thanks. I thought I needed a revamp, and different fonts. Something a bit fresher I think. =] Olly150 15:20, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

Mummy 1770

CSD candidate, sure. But an A7 person? Do you really think an article about a mummy without legs is about a real person without claim to notability? gnfnrf (talk) 00:37, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

Do not revert without looking first

MY user talk page should of not of been reverted by you. Secondly, he was wrong in posting the warning becuase he was wrong anyways. In no way is removing a template considored vandalism. You need to make sure you know what you're doing when using an automated tool like twinkle, got it?

Umm your userpage?

Hi there,

Your userpage seems to be a similar copy to my user page for the what do I do around here section. Could you tell me if this is true? :S

The Helpful One Review 22:19, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

If you don't mind, please do - or make it a little less like mine! I don't mind if users take bits or ideas from me, but would prefer if they ask and definitely not copy sections of my userpage without my permission! :) The Helpful One Review 22:27, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

Strike that, user pages are PD, though I prefer if you tell me when you do it! :D The Helpful One Review 22:28, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

Re Boo boo

Not a problem mate. Incidentally, I was shocked to discover soon after marking this article CSD that a plane actually did just go down in Newark. Not to say the incident is necessarily notable or encyclopedic, but I thought originally it was completely fake or even a Donnie Darko reference. Eh well. FlyingToaster 08:19, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

Editor review

Hello, you currently have an Editor review request listed on the main page, although it has failed to gain comments, are you still interested in having it open, if so or if not please acknowledge me of that to make a proper archival of the nomination. Thanks.--TRUCO 22:38, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

Do you still want it open? If not, I need to archive it per the backlog and its been open past 30 days. If you still want it open, it can remain open for another 2 weeks.--TRUCO 01:13, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
Okay, done. Sorry for not comments, their is a current recession of reviewers at ER, you are free to nominate another one in the near future.Actually, I'll leave it open for those 2 weeks, it recently just got a comment, that you may want to reply to or take into consideration. If not, you can tell me to archive it.--₮RU₢0 03:49, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

CSD tag

Hi Poindexta1, hope you don't mind but I've downgraded Peter Harris (buccaneer) from a speedy deletion to a notability tag, because I see the article as containing an assertion of notability and therefore meriting more time to establish whether it should be in Wikipedia. Also I've categorised it which should hopefully bring it to the attention of Wikipedians interested in that area. ϢereSpielChequers 11:08, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

New Page Patrol

When I'm patrolling recent changes (I usually patrol newby contributions), the "Mark as patrolled" link doesn't show up. Doesn't that only show up on pages you navigate to from the New Pages Patrol list? If the "new article" template is there, I usually manually delete it when I add a CSD tag (note: usually) --SquidSK (1MClog) 13:31, 11 December 2009 (UTC)

No worries. I check out NPP when RC is slow, or when I'm in the mood to do some rescue work. I find that if stuff survives RCP long enough to be at the back of the NPP queue, it usually means the RCPers weren't sure whether to CSD it or not, so there might be something of value worth saving. --SquidSK (1MClog) 13:36, 11 December 2009 (UTC)

Copyedit Backlog Elimination Drive

Hi, as a member of the Guild of Copy Editors you're hereby notified of and invited to participate in the WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/May 2010. Please help us eliminate the 8,000+ copyedit backlog! Participating editors will receive barnstars and other awards, according to their level of participation. ɳorɑfʈ Talk! 00:09, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

Grab some glory, and a barnstar

Hi, I'd like to invite you to participate in the Guild of Copy Editors July 2010 Backlog Elimination Drive. In May, about 30 editors helped remove the {{copyedit}} tag from 1175 articles. The backlog is still over 7500 articles, and extends back to the beginning of 2008! We really need your help to reduce it. Copyediting just a couple articles can qualify you for a barnstar. Serious copyeditors can win prestigious and exclusive rewards. See the event page for more information. And thanks for your consideration. ɳorɑfʈ Talk! 15:17, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

GOCE Backlog Elimination Drive Wrap-up

Greetings from the Guild of Copy Editors July 2010 Backlog Elimination Drive. Thanks to all who participated in the drive! Over 100 editors—including Jimbo Wales—signed up this time (nearly triple the participants of the May drive). This benefited the Guild as well as the articles in need of copy editing. You can see from the comparison graphs that we increased the number of completed copyedits substantially. Unfortunately, we were not able to meet our goal of completely wiping out 2008 from the queue. We also were not able to reduce the backlog to less than 6,000 articles. We suspect people were busy with real life summertime things, at least in the northern hemisphere! We were able to remove the months of January, February, March, April, and May from the backlog, and we almost wiped out the month of June. We reduced the backlog by 1,289 articles (17%), so all in all it was a very successful drive, and we will be holding another event soon. We'll come up with some new ideas to try to keep things fresh and interesting. Keep up the good work, everybody!


Stats
If you copy edited at least 4,000 words, you qualify for a barnstar. If you edited in the May 2010 GOCE Backlog Elimination Drive, your word totals are cumulative for barnstars (not the leaderboard). Over the course of the next week or two, we will be handing out the barnstars.

Reviewer permission

 

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

For the guideline on reviewing, see Wikipedia:Reviewing. Being granted reviewer rights doesn't change how you can edit articles even with pending changes. The general help page on pending changes can be found here, and the general policy for the trial can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 15:54, 5 October 2010 (UTC)

GA review page?

Concerning Shriya Saran/GA1: I was trying to point out that the reviewer was also a major contributor. It is confusing to me how the GA review process works, and why that was not the proper place to put my comment. Where should I put it? BollyJeff || talk 22:06, 5 October 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: Jarret Myer

Hello PoinDexta1, and thanks for patrolling new pages! I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Jarret Myer, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: The article makes a credible assertion of importance or significance, sufficient to pass A7. You may wish to review the Criteria for Speedy Deletion before tagging further pages. Thank you. Dabomb87 (talk) 03:31, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

For you...

  The Original Barnstar
For your hard work as a new page patroller, I award you this barnstar. Keep up the hard work! MJ94 (talk) 04:26, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

November 2010 backlog elimination drive update

Greetings from the Guild of Copy Editors Backlog Elimination Drive!
 

 
GOCE November 2010 backlog elimination drive progress graphs

We have reached the midway point in our backlog elimination drive, so here is an update.

Participation report — The November drive has 53 participants at this point. We had 77 participants in the September drive. In July, 95 people signed up for the drive, and in May we had 36. If you are not participating, it is not too late to join!

Progress report — The drive is quite successful so far, as we have already almost reached our target of a 10% reduction in the number of articles in the backlog. We are doing very well at keeping our Requests page clear, as those articles count double for word count for this drive.

Please keep in mind the possibility of removing other tags when you are finished with an article. If the article no longer needs {{cleanup}}, {{wikify}}, or other similar maintenance tags, please remove them, as this will make the tasks of other WikiProjects easier to complete. Thanks very much for participating in the Drive, and see you at the finish line!
