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.

An 1886 map has a railroad bridge at the site of the current SEPTA Regional Rail Bridge. The bridge has the label Penna RR Bridge. Though the original bridge led to a high level grade and the current rails descend to below ground, this might suggest a much older name than SEPTA et al. Map – Plate 1 of JL Smith's Philadelphia 1886 West, Wards 24 and 27 – is on-line at http://www.historicmapworks.com/Map/US/83014/Plate+001/Philadelphia+1886+West+-+Wards+24+and+27/Pennsylvania/ Bridge is in lower-left corner.

Re this: I'm not entirely sure how that article comes under WP:PHILLY. The book is set primarily in the Philadelphia suburbs (that's why I added it to WP:PENN, with only one short passage where Susie alludes to being in the 30th Street Station, actually being in Philadelphia.
I don't know if the Philadelphia project's scope is broad enough to cover the city's suburbs, much less fictional narratives set in them. I wouldn't put novels set primarily in the New York City suburbs in WP:NYC (of course, there's also two other state projects (WP:CONN and WP:NJ) and two regional projects WP:HVNY and WP:WPLI) that would also cover such an article. There are articles on subjects whose geographic location is outside the city, such as the city's upstate reservoirs, but those have a very strong connection to the city (like, the city actually owns them).

Hi! I'm a student at Clemson University and have been editing the Kingstree, South Carolina page for my English class. I noticed that in the history you have edited the page. I went through your history and it looks like you edit Wikipedia a lot. I was wondering if you could give me some feedback on my recent edits?

I'm taking you up on practicing on contacting you!! I only just now saw YOUR reply to me at the bottom of my page; I suppose I didn't scroll down far enough before and did not even know there was a reply. At any rate, this is pretty cool. Sad that so few have ever responded to your welcome greeting, but don't get me started on the general demise of etiquette and good manners to which I've been witness in my lifetime!!
Be that as it may, what led me to this particular point tonight is that I am watching "Hotel Rwanda" and, of course, had to pull it up on Wikipedia to read about the movie. I noticed another error that is beyond my knowledge-base to figure out how to correct. If you go to the webpage and scroll down to "Cast", you will notice there is nothing there. Scroll almost to the bottom of the page and you will see the cast listed after the soundtrack. OK, now here is the weird part. I went into "edit" thinking that I'd just cut and paste the cast listing where it belonged, but in the edit section, the cast list appears where it SHOULD, under the heading of "Cast". Yep, I'm baffled and mystified. I checked it a few times, back and forth, just to make sure I wasn't seeing things, which has been known to happen............so, like I said, I don't know how to fix this AT ALL!!! Yet, I'm obviously nerdy enough to let it bother me to the point where I found your reply, and here we are.
Thank you again for your time and your "ear" out there. I unabashadly admit that this is my idea of fun! I've always loved language and enjoy proofing and editing, so finding that I can indulge myself on Wikipedia has been a blast!!
Thank you again!!

I wondering if you know this statue [2] I take "East River Road" to mean Kelly Drive - although there is a 2 block stretch still named East River Drive where the sculpture ain't. It also is not the Rogers sculpture of Lincoln just north of Philly Museum of Art.
I can't find any other reference to it - though the SIRIS database is supposed to be authoritative. Any help appreciated. BTW List of public art in Philadelphia is coming along. Smallbones (talk) 05:09, 8 January 2012 (UTC)
"including" near the top, 2 cases of double *'s, looks ok now? See similar list at Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery, maybe I can get numbers (from the museum) like they do? I'd include it now if the pix line up in the whole article ok. Otherwise I'd wait until I get more text up front. Thanks. Smallbones (talk) 15:35, 2 February 2012 (UTC)
OK, I expanded the article a bit and put in your new Collections section. Actually, the problem on copyrights is not so much the museum as it is the creators (who generally own the copyright). I think with paintings (other than those of John Sloan, which might have copyrights controlled by the museum) it will be impossible. But sculptures are a bit different - there are 2 at the museum that I can document the dates (have to be pre-1978) for sure (one early 20th century, one post WWII). I'd need to personally see that there is no visible copyright notice on them, and take the photo myself (2D rules don't apply). When I go down myself, I'll have to take 4 books back, so I might delay!. Smallbones (talk) 17:57, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

Hi! I noticed here and here that you delinked the cities as a "typo". Is there a new consensus not to link cities? I may have missed it - but it seemed surprising to me that a wikilinked city is a "typo". Thanks StarM 00:15, 5 February 2012 (UTC)
thank you for your question. the "•" delimiters are now deprecated in favour of using WP:HLIST. basically, by adding either '| listclass = hlist' or '| bodyclass = hlist' to a navbox, the '*' list syntax is formatted as a flat list by your browser (courtesy of some stuff in MediaWiki:common.css). This allows visually impaired users to read the navbox as a list, rather than having the screen reader read a bunch of 'dots'. there are scripts to assist with the conversion, which is what I was using when I converted that navigation box. in the future, you can add a new entry by just adding a new line starting with an asterisk. let me know if you have questions. thank you. Frietjes (talk) 15:51, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for catching my typo; I really shouldn't edit on my iPad late at night.
In Commons, Creator templates like Commons:Creator:Maxfield Parrish are used to populate the "author" parameter of Information templates or the artist parameter of Artwork templates. The Creator template contains biographical information about the artist and automatically collapses when used inside one of the other templates. The Creator template translates the information on nationality, occupation, and other values into multiple languages according to the reader's language preference. You can also add parameters like "school of", "after, "attributed to", etc. Full documentation here: Commons:Template:Creator.
If we're adding or cleaning up image collections in Commons as part of a GLAM project, then I like to see Information templates upgraded to Artwork templates which have fields for accession numbers, credit lines, and the like, and these should have Creator templates for represented artists, an Institution template for the Museum, and Size and Technique templates, all of which help make the content accessible in multiple languages.

I've put all info I have on FPAA there. The purpose is to sort it out, delete the stuff not needed immediately. Increase the FPAA article 5 times to over 2,100 characters with spaces so that it will qualify for DYK. Feel free to edit there - but remember the purpose is to edit, restate, and delete - we've still got good info on our home computers! Smallbones (talk) 14:38, 21 February 2012 (UTC)
Thank you for taking the time to clear out the lingering un-assessed articles for WP:UNI. However, you rated all four as start class, and I am wondering why you rate North Pacific College, Ford Hall (Willamette University), and Prewitt–Allen Archaeological Museum as start class? While certainly not GA (and obviously you can't assess it as such without the formal process), but I thought each was at least a C class, if not B class based on the UNI criteria. Start class is for fairly incomplete article, so what more needs to be added to get above Start? Thank you. Aboutmovies (talk) 06:40, 5 March 2012 (UTC)
Guild of Copy Editors March 2012 backlog elimination drive update
Greetings from the Guild of Copy Editors March 2012 Backlog elimination drive! Here's the mid-drive newsletter. Participation: We have had 58 people sign up for this drive so far, which compares favorably with our last drive, and 27 have copy-edited at least one article. If you have signed up but have not yet copy-edited any articles, please consider doing so. Every bit helps! If you haven't signed up yet, it's not too late. Join us! Progress report: Our target of completing the 2010 articles has almost been reached, with only 56 remaining of the 194 we had at the start of the drive. The last ones are always the most difficult, so thank you if you are able to help copy-edit any of the remaining articles. We have reduced the total backlog by 163 articles so far. Special thanks: Special thanks to Stfg, who has been going through the backlog and doing some preliminary vetting of the articles—removing copyright violations, doing initial clean-up, and nominating some for deletion. This work has helped make the drive a more pleasant experience for all our volunteers.

Hi. I'm just checking through the drive page and found that your word counts add up to a different number than you've stated for the total. But (fascinated with a 5-word count) I took a look at Flag Day (disambiguation) and realised you only counted what DrPDA would have spotted. The list would have added another 249 to that count. So I don't want to do a "correction" that is wrong. What's the right thing here? --Stfg (talk) 10:02, 1 April 2012 (UTC)
Guild of Copy Editors March 2012 backlog elimination drive
Greetings from the Guild of Copy Editors March 2012 Backlog elimination drive! This is the most successful drive we have had for quite a while. Here is your end-of-drive wrap-up newsletter. Participation Of the 70 people who signed up for this drive, 40 copy-edited at least one article. Thanks to all who participated! Special acknowledgement goes out to Lfstevens, who did over 200 articles, most of them in the last third of the drive, and topped all three leaderboard categories. You're a superstar! Stfg and others have been pre-checking the articles for quality and conformance to Wikipedia guidelines; some have been nominated for deletion or had some preliminary clean-up done to help make the copy-edit process more fun and appealing. Thanks to all who helped get those nasty last few articles out of the target months. Progress report During this drive we were successful in eliminating our target months—October, November, and December 2010—from the queue, and have now eliminated all the 2010 articles from our list. We were able to complete 500 articles this month! End-of-drive results and barnstar information can be found here. When working on the backlog, please keep in mind that there are options other than copy-editing available; some articles may be candidates for deletion, or may not be suitable for copy-editing at this time for other reasons. The ((GOCEreviewed)) tag can be placed on any article you find to be totally uneditable, and you can nominate for deletion any that you discover to be copyright violations or completely unintelligible. If you need help deciding what to do, please contact any of the coordinators. Thank you for participating in the March 2012 drive! All contributions are appreciated. Our next copy-edit drive will be in May. Your drive coordinators – Dianna (Talk), Stfg (Talk), and Dank (talk)To discontinue receiving GOCE newsletters, please remove your name from our mailing list.

Thanks for all your assistance. I know that I'm on auto patrolled now. I have a quick question for you. In April, when I was still a newbie, I wrote a short article on The Indian Bean Tree, St James Square, Monmouth, one of my first for MonmouthpediA. At the time, I didn't know much about accessing information about Monmouth, Wales, so I had relatively few sources. In May, a merge banner popped up on that article and my St James Square, Monmouth article, suggesting that the tree article be merged into the square article. However, with two more months of Wikipedia under my belt, I thought that I could do the tree article justice. So, the past couple of days I've completely rewritten and expanded the article and added some great sources. The article is fairly comprehensive. I've removed the merge banner. However, if that is considered rude or presumptuous, I just need to have someone let me know. Thanks. Anne (talk) 06:11, 20 June 2012 (UTC)
Invitation from the Guild of Copy Editors
The Guild of Copy Editors invites you to participate in their July 2012 Backlog elimination drive, a month-long effort to reduce the size of the copy edit backlog. The drive begins on July 1 at 00:00 (UTC) and ends on July 31 at 23:59 (UTC). Our goals are to eliminate the articles tagged in April, May and June 2011 from the queue and to complete all requests placed before the end of June. Barnstars will be awarded to anyone who copy edits more than 4,000 words, and special awards will be given to the top 6 in the following categories: "Number of articles", "Number of words", "Number of articles of over 5,000 words", "Number of articles tagged in April–June 2011", and "Longest article".

Thanks for welcoming me. My new page [N. Cruz] was labeled as having "issues" which I think I have rectified. How do I go about getting the article reviewed and the issues box removed? Avilalinn (talk) 05:44, 29 June 2012 (UTC)
I've gone ahead and restored the unaddressed maintenance tags on the above referenced article. In particular, the article requires copy editing for spelling and wikification for consistency in formatting. Generally, I would go ahead and make the edits myself, but with the initial editor creating numerous articles from a template with typos and formatting that is not in compliance with the Manual of Style for biographies, I'm a bit spent. Feel free to contact me if you have questions. Best regards, Cindy(talk to me) 22:36, 1 July 2012 (UTC)
Hi, you may want to take another look at Richmond Fire Department as I have began rescuing it and now it has independent sources including some unambiguous in depth coverage of one of the many environmental catastrophes that occur in Richmond and that this department in particular is notorious for dealing with. I have found more sources and will be adding them, thanks for giving it a second look and if you have any input or could help expand, copyedit, or trim the article in any way please be my guest. Thank you. -Troy.LuciferWildCat (talk) 02:38, 4 July 2012 (UTC)
Hello Dthomsen8. I've restored the ((copyedit)) tag to John Hastings (cricketer) since it has a clear need for a copy edit. In it there is "A tall all-rounder who combines right-arm fast-medium bowling with strong lower-order batting.", which is not a sentence. A little later: "Hastings impressed with the ball in his first one-day games for Victoria and grabbed three wickets in six deliveries on debut in 2007–08 when he was asked to bowl at the death against Queensland." To dismantle it:
That needed to become something like "Hastings bowled well in his first one-day games for Victoria, taking three wickets in six deliveries on his debut in 2007–08, when he was asked to bowl at the death[clarification needed] against Queensland."
Please remember what Dianna often points out, that we may be the only competent writers to visit an article for a very long time, and take care not to decline needed copy edits. Thanks. --Stfg (talk) 19:50, 6 July 2012 (UTC)
Hi Dthomsen8, we just spoke about image uploading and Wikimedia Commons in the dining room at the pre-Wikimania hackathon. I just wanted to leave a quick note here so we've got each other's contact information. Cheers, Emw (talk) 14:10, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
I'm sorry, I just realized that I left you a message without a heading, so I'm repeating here. I apologize if there's any redundancy -- With regard to the article I wrote, New York College of Health Professions," I do take your comments seriously and constructively. As a relatively new editor, I also appreciate your help in offering suggestions to make the article non-promotional and well referenced. Please note that new references have been added where citations were requested. Revisions to several sentences have also bee edited to make them less promotional. I can not find any other sentences without substantiation, that could be considered promotional. If you still feel the article is too promotional, would you please be kind enough to provide some specifics? Please note that since this college is institutionally accredited, all claims made by the college in their catalogue, website or other literature are continuously monitored and approved by the accrediting agency, I.E. the New York State Board of Regents and the Commissioner of Education. No unsubstantiated claims have been made here.
In summary and in good faith, I am trying to do everything possible to comply with Wikipedia rules, regulations and guidelines. The current revisions should, hopefully satisfy your concerns. If not, please provide some specifics that I can address. Otherwise, These notices on the top of the article reflect unfairly on the schools well established and substantiated credibility. Please remove them as quickly as possible as they've been up for over two months. Thank you for your help, concern and consideration. Dkolarek (talk) 14:35, 13 July 2012 (UTC)

I used AWB to gather a list of articles missing the WikiProject University of Pennsylvania tag from Category:University of Pennsylvania and it's subcats. The list includes alumni of UPenn.

Hiya! Mike Christie has very kindly given us a list of online sources, and a list of books he has that WikiProject GY members could contact him about if they would like him to look something up in them (see my talkpage for more info)... I have added them to the sources list you made on the talkpage. It made me realise too that I should make a similar list of books I have available, so I will do this in the next day or two. As we've got a decent list of sources now, I wondered if we should perhaps add these to the main page of the project so they're more easily visible and accessible?

Hi Dthomsen8, a Wiki-knowledgable friend recommended contacting editors who had contributed to art collective or art-related pages on Wikipedia in the past to ask for help with my problem. I see from your history that includes you. I'm trying to create a page for the Good/Bad Art Collective which existed in Denton, Texas from 1993-2001, see my efforts here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Good/Bad_Art_Collective It keeps getting rejected. Originally I thought it was too long (at first I listed the collective's major works, and member's names) but then it just seem to boil down to not having "cited sources related to the collective itself" But I don't understand how articles by art reviewers in The Dallas Observer newspaper, The Houston Chronicle and The Village Voice are related to the collective… they are reviews of their work. The collective existed for 8 years, had over 200 members and created 150 works and instillations. And, several ex-members have gone onto become famous artists. Plus, I have no relation to Good/Bad and am not or ever was a member. My friend (who used to edit on Wikipedia a lot, mainly the Judy Garland page, but hasn't in a year) suggested contacting someone with a bit more knowledge about art scenes. Looking at the history he thinks it's being rejected by people sticking too-close to Wikipedia rules and current issues, and can't see its relevance beyond that. Just a hunch? I see many other art collectives, even some who existed just a few years ago, have Wikipedia entries that have done far less than Good/Bad ever did. Do you mind taking a look and seeing what you think? Any suggestion you may have would be GREATLY appreciated. This is my first article for Wikipedia, and I'm determined to make it work because I know it's relevant. It was originally much more detailed. Thank for your time!

Hiya!
All the information about Official Censuses in Guyana I am taking from the (Gov. of Guyana) Bureau of Statistics Records for the 2002 Official Census. (I tried to track it down after seeing the population listings on the administrative regions which said they were from an official census but had no reference). Chapter 3 has all the information about the population for the administrative regions according to official censuses in 1980, 1991 and 2002 (p. 51). According to their website, the 2012 census has not yet been completed - and judging by the last one (2002, published in 2007) it may be sometime after that before the results are published. Following your tips about WebCite and archiving, I am trying to archive these documents to make sure they're there for future reference. Lorelei (talk) 16:09, 2 September 2012 (UTC)

Your recent crop of AWB edits removed a number of wikilinks within article text, including [4], [5], [6], and [7], among others. These appear to be well-intentioned but nevertheless questionable automated edits. It looks to me like the tool is suggesting de-linking because these are not the first links in the article, but the problem is that the first links are appearing in infoboxes. Readers aren't going to naturally think to look to infoboxes to know there might be a wikilink to another topic in the encyclopedia. Would you take a look and let me know your thinking on these (and related) edits? Frank | talk 14:00, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
all of which are obviously in the United States. Why would the link to the United States ever be followed?
After reviewing these four instances, I don't think that any of these link removals are signficant, but I did roll back two of them.
In general, AWB shows an editor every instance of two or more repeated links in an article, and provides the opportunity to remove one instance by clicking on it, and of course more can be removed in the edit window. That is what I have done. Probably I will not do as many of them in the future. --DThomsen8 (talk) 00:48, 12 September 2012 (UTC)
Hi GLAM PMA folks! I wanted to update you about some recent events related to our fantastic Museum. I met Jessica Milby, PMA Collections Information Project Manager, at Wikimania in July. Jessica was looking for ways to improve articles on Wikipedia about the Museum and its artists/collections. We followed up a few weeks later at the Perelman Building in downtown Philadelphia where we discussed ways to increase participation in the GLAM/PMA project.

Guild of Copy Editors September 2012 backlog elimination drive wrap-up
Participation: Out of 41 people who signed up this drive, 28 copy-edited at least one article. Thanks to all who participated! Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here. Progress report: We achieved our primary goal of clearing July, August, September and October 2011 from the backlog. This means that, for the first time since the drives began, the backlog is less than a year. At least 677 tagged articles were copy edited, although 365 new ones were added during the month. The total backlog at the end of the month was 2341 articles, down from 8323 when we started out over two years ago. We completed all 54 requests outstanding before September 2012 as well as eight of those made in September. Copy Edit of the Month: Voting is now over for the August 2012 competition, and prizes will be issued soon. The September 2012 contest is closed for submissions and open for voting. The October 2012 contest is now open for submissions. Everyone is welcome to submit entries and to vote. – Your drive coordinators: Stfg, Allens, and Torchiest.

Thanks for taking the time to fill out the talk page stubs for articles in Category:Textile mills owned by the Lancashire Cotton Corporation Category:Textile mills in Tameside or was it ((Lancashire Cotton)) ((Lancashire Cotton Corporation)) this is greatly appreciated. Looking for feedback as always I sampled some of the pages and found that my quality assessment criteria and the one you are using appear to be widely different. Obviously I am missing something. Can I just take Talk:Stalybridge Mill, Stalybridge as an example. This is a 11000 char article, with infobox, image and architects drawing all referenced- it was spelling checked in mid 2011 then ce by Malleus. It has been stable since then. Why do you reckon this is a stub. I don't usually assess articles I have started but if you look at User:ClemRutter/Assessment#C class you see why I would have placed it as a C class. Others are more subtle- but in general not one of the articles would be lower than a start class each having satisfied this statement:
Start -An article that is developing, but which is quite incomplete and may require further reliable sources. It provides some meaningful content, but the majority of readers will need more.
Or is it that I am reading to much into the levels you gave- and your intention was merely to plug the absence of any parameters? Still, what ever the answer you are most welcome to pop by for coffee and biscuits. --ClemRutter (talk) 10:29, 14 October 2012 (UTC)
EvilKeyboardCat (talk) 08:14, 1 November 2012 (UTC)G'day, I recently became a wiki editor and have been editing several computer-related pages. I was on the page List of Linux distributions and I added a link to distrowatch.com, in the external links category, which is relevant and useful to the article. However when I previewed the page there was simply a number two in brackets. I think it's something to do with some of the references being linked to pages on that site but I believe that this site needs to be in the external links section, how can I fix this?

Ahoy Dthomsen8, this is Djembayz from Wikimania. Since I see you editing, I'm assuming you've ridden out the storm without major mishap. I've spent much of Sandy taking a run at Native American article assessment ... and it's time to enlist help, preferably from a prolific and informed editor such as yourself. I've gotten it down from 1,800+ to under 1500, and done 100+ reassessments in the process. Care to join me? (Any efforts appreciated. I've been thinking this could be a good topic for a Thanksgiving Editing Party ...) Djembayz (talk) 01:34, 3 November 2012 (UTC)

Hey there. I appreciate your concern for the WIN/GIA article. However, far as I can tell WIN/GIA was merely a rejected PROD as opposed to a full-blown AfD. It's also important to tag AfD discussions with the ((subst:rescue list|~~~~)) template whenever you nominate something for the rescue list. I already took the liberty to do that for you on the Albannach article. That said, I very much encourage your work with the Article Rescue Squadron and I hope you carry on.

Thanks for the message about the above page. It appears from what you say that I didn't follow the correct procedure in creating it. If that's the case, could you let me know, if possible, what I did wrongly. I've created several articles in the past year and I don't think any have been created quite to plan. As I understand it, I create a new article on a separate Userpage, then move it to become a live article. (I've also created work in the Sandbox and moved it from there, only I encountered problems with a Redirect I wasn't aware of. I didn't know how to blank the Sandbox and started the Jordan Burn under the previous title. The result was that all my new edits were affecting the 'live' page on the previous article. That is now sorted, but it was yet more evidence that I don't really know what I'm doing half the time.) Any advice you can give me for future reference to help me avoid the same mistake would be appreciated. By the way, I'm hoping to photograph the Jordan today and the weather if looking good for it.

I'm removing the PROD from them because an image of the flag/CoA in the infobox is not the same thing as an article about the flag/CoA. Compare United States to Flag of the United States for example. Also, I'm not sure of this but I think that for allot of tease what your really proposing is a merge. In my experience we almost never have a section for the flag/CoA in the main country/territory article, even if the flag/CoA article is a stub, compare Flag and coat of arms of Mayotte to Mayotte for example.

Thanks for your recent edits replacing my &ndashes; with "–". When I made my first WP edits there was a useful matrix of non-keyboard symbols which you could click on and the character would appear on the edit page with the cursor. Three years or so ago that was replaced with a string of a dozen or so useful symbols and a dropdown list (Insert/Wiki markup/Symbols etc.) which, no matter what I do, the string of symbols remains unchanged, and clicking on a character has no obvious effect. Clearly I'm doing something wrong but don't know what. Any clues? Opening Word on this computer takes ages; there must be a smarter way. Doug butler (talk) 23:21, 23 February 2013 (UTC)

Re: Pavillion, Wyoming: U.S. Census Bureau says two L's. Wikipedia's own article says two L's. What is source of spelling with one L? (Please don't say dictionary. I know that it is not necessarily grammatically spelled.) Backspace (talk) 19:30, 10 April 2013 (UTC)
I'm so glad to finally "meet" another editor. I was working on the article when you made changes but I have kept a low-tech notepad version so I didn't lose them. I hadn't finished adding ref names etc. I was just finding the more robust references on the historical move in commodity markets to electronic markets and connecting the related wiki articles etc. It's a fascinating subject. I'll take a break so you can make your edits but bear in mind that I had not completed my edits. I really appreciate the wiki process. Thank you. I see you are a senior editor.
Another article I was working on bit by bit was IntercontinentalExchange ICE which was almost entirely composed of ICE generated content. I tried to add other references and make changes but an ICE employee (used real name as in LinkedIn unless there are two people by same name) removed them all and returned it to an ICE marketing vehicle complete with headings that link to directly to ICE services. Could you have a look at that? I don't enter into wiki editing conflicts. I move on to other articles if a conflict arises. There is so much to do. oceanflynn 16:29, 18 April 2013 (UTC)

Hey Dthomsen! I unfortunately am going to be out of town during the Wiknic on the 22nd. I was wondering if you would like to take on the lightweight role of facilitator there, just to get people talking to eachother and brainstorming about ideas.
The basic goal is just to get people thinking about continued meetups and projects in the Philadelphia area. So a semi-regular meet up is a short term goal. (Then there is the long term goal of organizing as a chapter, but this is in the somewhat distant future). More medium term goals include partnering with universities, libraries, and other cultural institutions in the area.
None of this is set up much yet, so we're very much in a brainstorming kind of mode. Please let me know if you're cool with that for Saturday. Either way, I'm glad you're going to be there and hope to meet up with you in the near future. Cheers, Ocaasi t | c 20:34, 18 June 2013 (UTC)

Hi! I am trying to reinvigorate Wikipedia:WikiProject Requested Articles, which, if I get enough pointers that there is some interest, I will re-design, with a design similar to Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors, involving drives, to decrease the number of articles listed in the various subpages, and blue link blitzes, involving editors removing all created pages. I am planning, with sufficient interest, to make requested articles 'stricter', i.e. you have to provide two reliable sources, and write a short note explaining why the requested article is notable. There would be a reward system, involving adapted barnstars, similar to the Guild of Copy Editors have here and here. If you have any questions about my aim, or want to indicate that you would sign up to the WikiProject, please say so on my talk page. Thanks! Matty.007 16:34, 29 July 2013 (UTC)

This edit to International System of Units contained one clear error: "kgs" was changed to "kg" even though "kgs" was pointed out by the text as an example of what not to do.
The edit also converted many HTML entities to the corresponding characters even though it would be difficult for an editor to distinguish the characters from many similar entities. For example, it is hard to distinguish · from the bullet operator, ∙, Unicode U+2219. So it is better to leave the HTML entities alone, allowing editors to plainly see which symbol is intended.

Hello --
I'm a reporter with The Philadelphia Inquirer and I'd love to talk with you about your work editing Philadelphia-related pages. Would you mind sending me an email at tschleifer@philly.com?
Thanks, and all the best,

Why did you add the WikiProject Switzerland to the talk page of Handpan? I don't see any special relationship to Switzerland. The term describes a group of instruments built and played in many different countries. If there would be a special country relationship, it would be USA because the term was originally invented in USA. But even this wouldn't make any sense. And I am convinced that there is nobody in this WikiProject who is able to improve this article, because knowing Switzerland will not help. There is nothing to tell about Handpan in relation to Switzerland. --Ixkeys (talk) 22:21, 16 August 2013 (UTC)
Hi, Dthomsen8, thanks for assessing East Branch Fishing Creek. I had been sort of hoping that it would be assessed as C-class, do you know of any needed changes to be made for that? Thanks, King Jakob C2 01:11, 22 August 2013 (UTC)
