Here, you say desysopping is a permanent sanction. But here, ArbCom says it may be reversed, and apparently quite easily. Were you wrong, or was there a change? I have never dealth with any WP Admin issues before. Somercet (talk) 08:01, 28 January 2015 (UTC)
I have a pair of questions for you concerning milhistbot: could the bot also track the nominators of successful A-class articles and list those contributors to help us track editors eligible for our various A-Class Medals, and if so could the bot also track FA/GA nominations in the same way? TomStar81 (Talk) 04:19, 31 December 2014 (UTC)
Nice work, but why change the reference format when WP:Retain should apply? FWiW Bzuk (talk) 08:19, 31 December 2014 (UTC)
I understand your rationale for editing, but let me give you a "for instance". Recently, another editor asked me to "workup" The Secret Invasion which after some research, resulted in a revision of the article, much like I had done with The Beginning or the End. (Note: I have actually added more content than any other editor as per the edit history of The Beginning or the End article). Now after all that work, if someone had come along and begun to un-do the effort because they wanted to establish a referencing style of their own, I would likely be peeved, so would any other editor.
Dear Hawkeye7,
HAPPY NEW YEAR Hoping 2015 will be a great year for you! Thank you for your contributions!
From a fellow editor,

Round one of the 2015 WikiCup has begun! So far we've had around 80 signups, which close on February 5. If you have not already signed up and want to do so, then you can add your name here. There have been changes to to several of the points scores for various categories, and the addition of Peer Reviews for the first time. These will work in the same manner as Good Article Reviews, and all of the changes are summarised here.
Remember that only the top 64 scoring competitors will make it through to the second round, and one of the new changes this year is that all scores must be claimed within two weeks of an article's promotion or appearance, so don't forget to add them to your submissions pages! If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAN, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages. Good luck!

Hi Hawkeye, just in case it might screw around with Milhistbot, I just wanted to point out that I've archived a couple of years worth of ACM awards to Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Military history/Awards/ACR/Archive 3. Cheers, Peacemaker67 (crack... thump) 00:24, 5 January 2015 (UTC)

G'day Hawk. I've noticed that Milhistbot seems to be resetting CAC/PAC JF-17 Thunder/GA3 to CAC/PAC JF-17 Thunder/GA2 on the Announcements page, per this. Is there something that can be done about that? It was a problem in the pre-bot days, as ppl would forget to add a |2 or |3 after the article name when they listed it on the Announcements page. Cheers, Peacemaker67 (crack... thump) 12:34, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
Happy New Year, Hawkeye! UcuchaBot has been down for some time now. I've sent a couple of emails to Ucucha about it (among other things) but nothing's happened so I think it's time to look into possible replacements. The bot did four main FA-related tasks, namely bolding TFAs on WP:FA, adding a notice to FAC nominations by WikiCup participants, moving the "Older nominations" marker on WP:FAC, and notifying nominators of upcoming TFAs. All of these have been or are being done manually by various editors in the bot's absence but of course it'd be great to get them automated again. The catalyst for me asking now is WikiCup 2015 starting, and if you do think you'd like to have a go at replacing UcuchaBot's functions, the WikiCup check would be my first priority. Anyway, I know there's plenty of requests on your plate, let me know about this one when you get a chance... Tks/cheers, 12:50, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
Hello Hawkeye7, thanks for taking an interest in the above article however your edits have caused a slight problem with the heading of the reference section. I tried to remove the 0em preceding it but although the heading was reinstated, further problems were caused with the reference list. Hope you are able to take a look.

Hi Hawkeye, while trawling some archived noms from last quarter, I noticed these were not closed by the bot:
Also this promoted nom from last quarter:
As usual, nothing obvious stood out to me as to why the bot didn't catch them, so if you have a chance to perhaps re-run/check... Tks as always! Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 10:45, 13 January 2015 (UTC)
Why the reversion? I didn't change the information; I only presented it in a more logical sequence to make it easier to understand. (If the larger piece was the stationary target, the WC tamper around it would make it critical.) HowardMorland (talk) 21:27, 13 January 2015 (UTC)

Hi Hawkeye. :) This is just to let you know that Template:Article history is about to be converted to Lua. There shouldn't be any changes that would affect FACBot when the new version gets rolled out, but there is some discussion of changing some of the parameter names at some point in the future. ("dykdate2" and "dykentry2" would be changed to "dyk2date" and "dyk2entry" to match the action and ft parameters. The same would go for parameters starting with "otd" and "itn".) See the discussion at Template talk:Article history#Lua version now ready for more details, and if you could comment there as well it would be appreciated. Also, let me know if you have any feature requests for the module (it's at Module:Article history). Best — Mr. Stradivarius ♪ talk ♪ 03:12, 20 January 2015 (UTC)

I reverted your uncommented change of middle initial at PUREX as vandalism, before realizing it was probably serious. Trouble is, Herbert H. Anderson and Herbert L. Anderson look like maybe two different people. There's nothing in the Herbert L Anderson bios about PUREX, and the PUREX patent clearly shows Herbert H. Anderson. Of course, the latter could be an error and maybe they really are one person. Do you have more info on this? Dicklyon (talk) 20:59, 7 February 2015 (UTC)
The patent says Herbert H. Anderson was in Newton Mass (as the application date 1947, perhaps?). Herbert L. Anderson's bio doesn't show him ever in Mass., and as far as I can tell not ever at the same place/time as co-inventor Asprey. So let's leave them as two different names. Dicklyon (talk) 21:07, 7 February 2015 (UTC)
Ah, this is definitive. Seaborg says Herbert H. Anderson was in his Met Lab group, which is where Asprey was. Maybe there's enough for an article on H.? Dicklyon (talk) 21:11, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

That's it, the first round is done, sign-ups are closed and we're into round 2. 64 competitors made it into this round, and are now broken into eight groups of eight. The top two of each group will go through to round 3, and then the top scoring 16 "wildcards" across all groups. Round 1 saw some interesting work on some very important articles, with the round leader Freikorp (submissions) owing most of his 622 points scored to a Featured Article on the 2001 film Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within which qualified for a times-two multiplier. This is a higher score than in previous years, as Godot13 (submissions) had 500 points in 2014 at the end of round 1, and our very own judge, Sturmvogel_66 (submissions) led round 1 with 601 points in 2013.
In addition to Freikorp's work, some other important articles and pictures were improved during round one, here's a snapshot of a few of them:

I've not yet linked it from the Oppenheimer article, as I thought you would know best how to do that. Do you have any thoughts on whether a different draft, at User:Carcharoth/Article incubator/J.

Since we loathe each other, I don't expect a reply. But I noticed an obit yesterday in the SMH for this remarkable man. He's mentioned in Burma Railway, but that's about all.

just as a concerned onlooker, I am a little concerned about the nature of your question on the ongoing Rfa. Perhaps you might want to remove it, or reword it to pick a somewhat different example. DGG ( talk ) 21:11, 30 March 2015 (UTC)
Not sure how "MOS Soldier" applies as justification for reverting my removal of the wiki-link from a red-link in today's feature article? I didn't ask for the page to be deleted; I just removed a broken link. I did due diligence that there's not another article for a matching Thomas Roderick in the mainspace, nor one immediately apparent in draft or AFC. Am I missing something?

The Running Man Barnstar | ||
Hey Hawkeye7, just a quick barnstar to say thanks for the reviews of Boat Race articles you've conducted over the past year. As of this morning, I completed my (initial) goal of ensuing that every Boat Race had, not only its own article, but one that was either of GA or FA status: we now have 158 GAs and 3 FAs that we can all be proud of! It doesn't stop here, for me at least, I'm going to keep up with improving the quality of the GAs and look for more FA opportunities. Plus, there's the small matter of 70 Women's Boat Race articles to get up and running! But thanks again, I couldn't have done it without your help.

PanydThe muffin is not subtle 23:31, 24 April 2015 (UTC)
Hello, Hawkeye! I didn't mention this point at your current FAC because it is purely a matter of personal opinion, on which the Manual of Style is silent. To my eye it breaks the flow of the prose and fractionally disrupts the reader to leave a knight's "Sir" out of the piping. Example: Major General Hastings Ismay, who consulted with Sir Henry Tizard, which I think would flow better as: Major General Hastings Ismay, who consulted with Sir Henry Tizard. A bit more work for the editor, but easier on the reader's eye, I think. Entirely your choice, naturally, but I thought I'd mention it here for your consideration.

Dear tech ambassadors, instead of spamming the Village Pump of each Wikipedia about my tiny project proposal for researching team editing (see here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IdeaLab/Research_team_editing), I have decided to leave to your own discretion if the matter is relevant enough to inform a wider audience already. I would appreciate if you could appraise if the Wikipedia community you are more familiar with could have interest in testing group editing "on their own grounds" and with their own guidance. In a nutshell: it consists in editing pages as a group instead of as an individual. This social experiment might involve redefining some aspects of the workflow we are all used to, with the hope of creating a more friendly and collaborative environment since editing under a group umbrella creates less social exposure than traditional "individual editing". I send you this message also as a proof that the Inspire Campaign is already gearing up. As said I would appreciate of *you* just a comment on the talk page/endorsement of my project noting your general perception about the idea. Nothing else. Your contribution helps to shape the future! (which I hope it will be very bright, with colors, and Wikipedia everywhere) Regards from User:Micru on meta.

The fist trip to the Supreme Court has a bizarre procedural status. Kinsella did not seek cert, the US Government did (the named party in the District Court case). The bizarre part is that the Supreme Court granted the writ before the 4th Circuit heard the appeal. Especially unusual in that the District Court order was only a preliminary one. I've corrected the appropriate section and added a citation. --Lineagegeek (talk) 23:23, 2 May 2015 (UTC)

The second round one has all wrapped up, and round three has now begun! Congratulations to the 34 contestants who have made it through, but well done and thank you to all contestants who took part in our second round. Leading the way overall was Cas Liber (submissions) in Group B with a total of 777 points for a variety of contributions including Good Articles on Corona Borealis and Microscopium - both of which received the maximum bonus.
Special credit must be given to a number of high importance articles improved during the second round.
The points varied across groups, with the lowest score required to gain automatic qualification was 68 in Group A - meanwhile the second place score in Group H was 404, which would have been high enough to win all but one of the other Groups! As well as the top two of each group automatically going through to the third round, a minimum score of 55 was required for a wildcard competitor to go through. We had a three-way tie at 55 points and all three have qualified for the next round, in the spirit of fairness. The third round ends on June 28, with the top two in each group progressing automatically while the remaining 16 highest scorers across all four groups go through as wildcards. Good luck to all competitors for the third round! Figureskatingfan (talk · contribs · email), Miyagawa (talk · contribs · email) and Sturmvogel 66 (talk · contribs · email) 16:34, 4 May 2015 (UTC)

Hi, Hawkeye7,
I saw your comment on another editor's talk page mentioning an interest in editing articles about physicists. I see from your user page you have a huge content contribution history and a lot of interest in military history, recently including the history of the Manhattan Project. In my youth I read a lot about the Manhattan Project and recently I have had a mind to update biographies on physicists who have won Nobel prizes. I have been gathering sources about some physicists, using resources available to me from the Wikipedia Library online database access program and from the huge public and academic libraries in my town. Which biographies do you think best deserve some updating? I'd be happy to work collaboratively with you on updating some articles about physicists. I've watchlisted a few of those for years, and I'm disappointed at how bad some Wikipedia articles on Nobel laureates still are, even though reliable sources about those persons are abundant. Please let me know how I can help. See you on the wiki. -- WeijiBaikeBianji (talk, how I edit) 15:53, 10 May 2015 (UTC)

Hi, Hawkeye7,
I see you maintain a rapid tempo of updating articles. I was very busy in my off-wiki life in the last few days, and meanwhile books I requested from the library about Richard Feynman have arrived at my home office. I've read some of the those books before, and what I plan to do now is an off-wiki draft as if there had never been an article about Feynman here before, dipping into multiple sources in turn, so as to produce a coherent, NPOV, complete draft of a Feynman biography article in my user space. I'll send you that link as I begin the draft expansion, and at some point I'll say, "That's enough," and then let you do as you wish in terms of using any or none of the draft I produce to update the mainspace article. I'm doing this because I'm curious to see how your experienced editorial judgment is applied to my effort to produce a "fresh start" draft of an article that has long had low-grade edit warring. Whatever you do with the draft I produce will be informative for how to do some similar fresh start drafts for biography articles about other deceased scientists, something I've had in mind to do for a long time. Thanks for your patience with my slower process of producing articles. Keep up the good work. See you on the wiki. -- WeijiBaikeBianji (talk, how I edit) 19:00, 19 May 2015 (UTC)

Hi Hawkeye, I've been mining the copies of the Army List at the Mitchell, inspired by your comment re. Garrett at the assessment request page. I'd earlier assumed that, like the Navy List, you'd only find current postings/seniority and so would have to go though scores of issues to build a complete picture but, lo and behold, there are historical entries, like an Army Who's Who! One thing though, when researching Pollard in the 1962 edition, I found a posting that made no sense to me and perhaps you can help: "GSO3 Trg and Gen Duties 2 DB" -- what was "2 DB"? The book kindly provides glossaries of abbreviations for honours and qualifications, but I couldn't find anything similar for units, branches, etc, so this one left me stumped... Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 01:06, 23 May 2015 (UTC)
I've made a modest addition to the Robert Bacher article, but ran into reference trouble. I am unfamiliar with the referencing system used for that article, but suspect the Pais reference I've added is missing an entry in some system. In any case, I noted you were a (sort of) recent contributor to the article...can you please fix my broken reference for me? (sounds pathetic... :) ) Thx, Bdushaw (talk) 18:29, 23 May 2015 (UTC)

...for your support over at my RfA. FA creation for me will come in time...I intend to eventually dip my toe into that side of things, though I have not yet decided when.

Hi there. Thanks for rating the Lake Ontario Ordnance Works article. I noticed under "WikiProject Military history" that it was given a C-Class rating because "referencing and citation: criterion not met". I'd like to fix these. Could tell me which ones they are?

Hello Hawkeye. :) I just came across this edit by FACBot, which added an unclosed ((shy)) template inside an ((article history)) invocation (thereby hiding all the action parameters and putting the template into Category:Article history templates with errors). Could you have a look at it when you have a spare moment? I'm guessing it's an overzealous regex or something like that. Thanks! — Mr. Stradivarius ♪ talk ♪ 14:30, 29 June 2015 (UTC)

You recently reverted me at Thomas C. Kinkaid with the comment "Consistent use of the straight (or typewriter) apostrophe ( ' ) is recommended, as opposed to the curly (or typographic) apostrophe ( ’ ). " I think you may have your punctuation confused. The article had been using the Prime (symbol), which is inappropriate. "The prime symbol ( ′ ) is commonly used to represent feet (ft), arcminutes (am), and minutes (min)." It is never used for possessives. "The prime symbol should not be confused with the apostrophe." So I changed all the Primes into straight apostrophes, which, as you note, "is recommended." Kendall-K1 (talk) 11:13, 29 July 2015 (UTC)

I am familiar with the origin of the descriptives. That fact doesn't alter the fact that neither common nor conventional academic/scholarly usage would support the changes you've made in these instances. You're conflating reference to the type with reference to the individual devices qua individual devices.
That said, Wikipedia has its many conventions, many of which defy common usage, common sense, and academic/scholarly usage.
I won't contest your preference.
Hi. I waited until Liz's RfA and the ensuing 'crat discussion were finished before raising this, so I'm sorry if this now seems like a past issue. But I don't think I'm the only one who thought the candidate question you posed on Liz's RfA was crass, or at least gratuitously indecorous.

My thanks for the notification. The link was in a list of the four founding members of the NRDC, to enable a reader to flick through all 4 side-by-side, to see the skills and experience that prompted their selection. To locate Bush required remembering where exactly he was mentioned, in a different context in a different paragraph. In a long 'essay', sometimes that can mean consideration for the reader, rather than a once-is-enough rationing system.
We readers are grateful for your tireless endeavours.Protozoon (talk) 02:39, 17 August 2015 (UTC)

does not currently show the request, this is true: but it is because you deleted it. If you had not done that, it would be shown, but not among the 83 that you observed. The row with 83 outstanding is for pages in Category:Requested edits, i.e. all pages marked with the ((Request edit)) template (this allows a contributor with a conflict of interest to request an edit from a neutral editor), this is not at all the same thing as a WP:PER. If you had let the ((edit protected))
stand, it would be linked from the row above that 83 (i.e. Wikipedia fully-protected edit requests), whose count is presently 10. A direct link to the protected edit request would also have been displayed, in at least two places: under the heading "Administrative backlog", the same category is listed - to its left is a rightward-pointing blue triangle. If you click that, it expands to list the actual talk pages with outstanding requests. Or you can go down the page to the (misnamed) WP:UAA / WP:RFPP section, below which are some collapsed lists, one of which is headed "Protected edit requests" - if you click "show" there, you'll find User:AnomieBOT/PERTable (as well as User:AnomieBOT/TPERTable which is not relevant here). --Redrose64 (talk) 13:00, 23 August 2015 (UTC)Hallo Hawkeye7,
I have just read the Oppenheimer article and I noticed the picture concerning the Congress for Cultural Freedom's second Berlin conference in June 1960. There are 6 people on the panel, but only 5 names. The name of the person who was not tagged yet, on the right of Willy Brandt or rather the empty chair, is Theodor Heuss. He was the first president of Germany (1949-1959). Hope you can include him in the description.

I've finished the Korean war section and added a later service section, eliminating the legacy section (which, aside from the movie) didn't have any other content. I think it will pass the B-class checklist now and I'm going to put it up for GA as soon as it does. Tell me what you think. Considering I didn't know a thing about this fellow a week ago, I'm pleased with how much RS I could find. This seems like the sort of guy the Navy would name a boat or a facility after... Thanks.

The finals for the 2015 Wikicup has now begun! Congrats to the 8 contestants who have survived to the finals, and well done and thanks to everyone who took part in rounds 3 and 4.
In round 3, we had a three-way tie for qualification among the wildcard contestants, so we had 34 competitors. The leader was by far Casliber (submissions) in Group B, who earned 1496 points. Although 913 of these points were bonus points, he submitted 15 articles in the DYK category. Second place overall was Coemgenus (submissions) at 864 points, who although submitted just 2 FAs for 400 points, earned double that amount for those articles in bonus points. Everyone who moved forward to Round 4 earned at least 100 points.
The scores required to move onto the semifinals were impressive; the lowest scorer to move onto the finals was 407, making this year's Wikicup as competitive as it's always been. Our finalists, ordered by round 4 score, are:
The intense competition between RO and Calvin999 will continue into the finals. They're both eligible for the Newcomers Trophy, given for the first time in the Wikicup; whoever makes the most points will win it.
Good luck to the finalists; the judges are sure that the competition will be fierce!

Hi, Hawkeye7,
Regarding the article "Battle of Milne Bay", I realize that (Drea, 1992) subsumes the U.S. Navy's decryption of JN25 under ULTRA, but I think that the average reader would be misled by the failure to distinguish between the two. I think that the average reader associates ULTRA with the decryption of German military enciphered radio traffic, not with decryption of Japanese naval enciphered radio traffic. A link to Wikipedia's article on ULTRA is therefore a bit misleading. I don't want to descend into an edit war. (This issue isn't that important.) I'm just viewing the issue from the perspective of the average reader, who'll think that the British codebreakers in Bletchley Park warned of the threat against Milne Bay, when they didn't.

Oppenheimer security hearing is promoted to GA. Very well-written. I think one of my review comments may not have been clear. When I read the sentence, "From 1949 to 1953, Oppenheimer had also found himself in the middle of a controversy over the development of the Super", I did not realize at first what the article meant by "Super". If "Super" was replaced by "H-bomb" it would have been immediately obvious. The word thermonuclear two sentences later and H-bomb farther along cleared it up. When I said to please decipher I didn't mean explain, I meant that Americans won't understand what the term Super means. I'm 61 years old and never heard Super used to describe H-bomb.

Hello, I'm ReferenceBot. I have automatically detected that an edit performed by you may have introduced errors in referencing. It is as follows:
Please check this page and fix the errors highlighted. If you think this is a false positive, you can report it to my operator. Thanks, ReferenceBot (talk) 00:44, 29 September 2015 (UTC)
Hawkeye, I note that at 3:04 on 29 Sep a sentence fragment was inserted in the end of teh first paragraph on manufacture of the core which separated the statement about the rings and the references; the fragment reads "It was alloyed with gallium and". I assume it belongs below where you expand upon the metallurgy. Since you are actively in there, I don't want to muck it up for you. SkoreKeep (talk) 04:46, 29 September 2015 (UTC)

In this edit you added some references, some of which use the site book template and included the parameter "nopp" which is normally intended to suppress page numbers but you included, as a parameter, "This is a booklet published by the Australian Sport Commission, has a copyright notice on the page following the cover page."
Attempted to simply remove the parameter, but I'd like to check with you first to see what you are intending to do with that text.
I note that at the completion of that edit there were a number of issues, many of which were resolved but this particular one persist in the current version.--S Philbrick(Talk) 13:40, 2 October 2015 (UTC)
On 3 October 2015, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article William L. Uanna, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that William L. Uanna was responsible for security for the 509th Composite Group, which carried out the atomic bombing missions, and for the state visit of Nikita Khrushchev in 1959? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/William L. Uanna. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page. |

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited James Basevi Ord, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Fort Oglethorpe.

If you know of a source directly tying the incident at Little Rock to the retirement of the Titan II, I'd be happy to add to all three wing articles. However, I believe (not looking at sources) that the decision had more to do with 1. Titan was liquid fueled and took more time to launch than Minuteman. 2. Its guidance system was not as accurate as Minuteman. Tied into this was that at the time, nukes were tending toward lower yield and more accurate systems, and the Titan had about the last of the multi-megaton warheads (I don't know if it was ever MRV'ed, but I'm sure it was never MIRV'ed). 3. The source I used refers to a "strategic modernization program" (lower case, and I didn't find anything formal that would upper case this). At the time the decision was made, I believe both the Midgetman and the mobile Minuteman programs were considered viable, and the expectation was that the Titans could be replaced. But thanks for the look at the note on the lack of competition. I thought it was worth mentioning because "firsts" and "bests" are usually notable, but I felt some perspective was needed. --Lineagegeek (talk) 21:32, 13 October 2015 (UTC)
The 200 DYK Creation and Expansion Medal | ||
200 DYKs! That is an impressive total and during that time you have documented dozens of aspects of the Manhattan Project from the first idea to Trinity and beyond. Both would be worthy of especial mention but its my pleasure to recognise the DYK achievement. I notice its not just Plutonium and critical cores but we also get DYKs on sports people who are not always the obvious celebrities. Well done. Thank you from Wikipedia, the DYK project and me.

Hey, this edit failed to add the nomination link to the article FAC to the talk page, for some reason. I'm not sure how to fix it either, can you take a look? I need it to work so that the Signpost's weekly compilation script works. ResMar 16:27, 19 October 2015 (UTC)
Hi there! I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. Recently, you reverted my fix to Jacob L. Devers.
If you did this because the references should be removed from the article, you have misunderstood the situation. Most likely, the article originally contained both <ref name="foo">...</ref>
and one or more <ref name="foo"/>
referring to it. Someone then removed the <ref name="foo">...</ref>
but left the <ref name="foo"/>
, which results in a big red error in the article. I replaced one of the remaining <ref name="foo"/>
with a copy of the <ref name="foo">...</ref>
; I did not re-insert the reference to where it was deleted, I just replaced one of the remaining instances. What you need to do to fix it is to make sure you remove all instances of the named reference so as to not leave any big red error.
If you reverted because I made an actual mistake, please be sure to also correct any reference errors in the page so I won't come back and make the same mistake again. Also, please post an error report at User talk:AnomieBOT so my operator can fix me! If the error is so urgent that I need to be stopped, also post a message at User:AnomieBOT/shutoff/OrphanReferenceFixer. Thanks!

As a runner-up in the WikiCup 2013 you will know all about the competition, but I don't think you entered this year. Featured pictures has become a prominent part of the competition, last year and this.
Would you consider reviewing one of my three outstanding nominations at GAN, being Parsnip, Purple heron and Ruddy shelduck? I wouldn't ask, but the final round of the WikiCup is finishing at the end of the month and the position is finely balanced. The present leader has got all his points from Featured Pictures, and he also has a total of 1380 FP bonus points that are not readily apparent on the scoreboard. When FPs are nominated, people support or oppose them, and with sufficient support the image is promoted ten days later. With GAs, it is a much more chancy business as you know, and the nominations may hang around for months before they are reviewed. Feel free to say no if you want too, its a bit cheeky of me to ask.

Just curiosity, given the expansive work you've been doing on the real-life Manhattan Project. Has the fictional Manhattan (TV series) made it to your side of the ocean? It's starting its second season now. A dark, brooding drama that's heavy on government intrusion into, and control of, the personal lives of the people who work on the project. I'm hooked on the show, but it's an acquired taste. — Maile (talk) 21:13, 27 October 2015 (UTC)

WikiCup 2015 is now in the books! Congrats to our finalists and winners, and to everyone who took part in this year's competition.
This year's results were an exact replica of last year's competition. For the second year in a row, the 2015 WikiCup champion is Godot13 (submissions) (FP bonus points). All of his points were earned for an impressive 253 featured pictures and their associated bonus points (5060 and 1695, respectively). His entries constituted scans of currency from all over the world and scans of medallions awarded to participants of the U.S. Space program. Cwmhiraeth (submissions) came in second place; she earned by far the most bonus points (4082), for 4 featured articles, 15 good articles, and 147 DYKs, mostly about in her field of expertise, natural science. Cas Liber (submissions), a finalist every year since 2010, came in third, with 2379 points.
Our newcomer award, presented to the best-performing new competitor in the WikiCup, goes to Rationalobserver (submissions). Everyone should be very proud of the work they accomplished. We will announce our other award winners soon.
A full list of our award winners are:
We warmly invite all of you to sign up for next year's competition. Discussions and polls concerning potential rules changes are also open, and all are welcome to participate. The WikiCup judges will be back in touch over the coming months, and we hope to see you all in the 2016 competition. Until then, it only remains to once again congratulate our worthy winners, and thank all participants for their involvement!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Chicago Pile-1, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page John Dunning. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

On 1 December 2015, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article A. Arnim White, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that despite being ranked 158th out of 164 in his West Point class, A. Arnim White still managed to reach the rank of major general? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/A. Arnim White. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page. |

I think we have a good result overall. Please take a rest, enjoy the holidays, and consider running next year! Thanks again and all the best. Smallbones(smalltalk) 21:16, 9 December 2015 (UTC)
Hi Hawkeye, How are you? I'm the recruiter for The Signpost, and I'd like to connect with you regarding a position on our Editorial Board. There's an opening in the Featured Content section and I think you'd be a great fit. I know this is out of the blue, and that you're probably trying to get some well-deserved rest after ACE2015. But after you've had some time to think this over, please let me know if you have questions, and I'll try to answer them (or I'll have one of the other members of the EB do so). If, however, you're busy with other things, or this just isn't your cup of tea, no worries. Best, --Rosiestep (talk) 05:34, 11 December 2015 (UTC)

On 22 December 2015, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Albert Wattenberg, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that physicist Albert Wattenberg kept an empty bottle of Chianti (pictured) as a souvenir, the contents of which were consumed to celebrate the Chicago Pile-1 nuclear reactor going critical? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Albert Wattenberg. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page. |

The WikiProject Barnstar | ||
For "prolific contributions of high-quality content and being a long-time servant of the project as a co-ord, where your technical contributions (e.g. MILHIST Bot) have also been significant," I have the honor of awarding you this WikiProject Barnstar as an honorable mention for being named as a candidate for Military Historian of the Year 2015.

Hello everyone, and we would like to wish you all a happy holiday season. As you will probably already know, the 2016 WikiCup begins in the new year; there is still time to sign up. There are some changes we'd like to announce before the competition begins.
After two years of serving as WikiCup judge, User:Miyagawa has stepped down as judge. He deserves great thanks and recognition for his dedication and hard work, and for providing necessary transition for a new group of judges in last year's Cup. Joining Christine (User:Figureskatingfan) and Jason (User:Sturmvogel 66) is Andrew (User:Godot13), a very successful WikiCup competitor and expert in Featured Pictures; he won the two previous competitions. This is a strong judging team, and we anticipate lots of enjoyment and good work coming from our 2016 competitors.
We would also like to announce one change in how this year's WikiCup will be run. In the spirit of sportsmanship, Godot13 and Cwmhiraeth have chosen to limit their participation. See here for the announcement and a complete explanation of why. They and the judges feel that it will make for a more exciting, enjoyable, and productive competition.
The discussions/polls concerning the next competition's rules will be closed soon, and rules changes will be made clear on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring and talk pages. The judges are committed to not repeating the confusion that occurred last year and to ensuring that the new rules are both fair and in the best interests of the competition, which is, first and foremost, about improving Wikipedia.
If you have any questions or concerns, the judges can be reached on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, on their talk pages, or by email. We hope you will all join us in trying to make the 2015 WikiCup the most productive and enjoyable yet. You are receiving this message because you are listed on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send. Sturmvogel 66 (talk), Figureskatingfan (talk), and Godot13 (talk).--MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 06:46, 22 December 2015 (UTC)
On 22 December 2015, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Jacob L. Devers, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status.

The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Jacob L. Devers. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000.

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Chicago Pile-1 you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days.

Congratulations for all your good work on this. My limited time was consumed utterly by bullshit over the past some weeks, and then I turned around and saw that you had it all done. Great work. Figureofnine (talk • contribs) 23:54, 26 December 2015 (UTC)
