I was sent to you by another user, UpstateNYer, who said you may be able to help me a bit more on this. I was wondering if it would be possible to become a researcher. It's a new class, just recently created, but it allows people to view deleted content. I work in the area of music on this wiki and I always like to see the content of deleted articles, especially if there is a way to prove notability. (It's always nice to see where one article left off before it was taken away) Let me know if it's doable. Thanks. Undead Warrior (talk) 04:41, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.
If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from Nettrom (talk), SuggestBot's caretaker.
P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot (talk) 21:04, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

We're half way through 2010, and the end of the WikiCup is in sight! Round 3 is over, and we're down to our final 16. Our pool winners were Ian Rose (submissions) (A), Sturmvogel_66 (submissions) (B, and the round's overall leader), ThinkBlue (submissions) (C) Casliber (submissions) and TonyTheTiger (submissions) (D, joint), but, with the scores reset, everything is to play for in our last pooled round. The pools will be up before midnight tonight, and have been selected randomly by J Milburn. This will be the toughest round yet, and so, as ever, anything you worry may not receive the necessary attention before the end of the round (such as outstanding GA or FA nominations) is welcome at Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews, and please remember to continue offering reviews yourself where possible. As always, the judges are available to contact via email, IRC or their talk pages, and general discussion about the Cup is welcome on the WikiCup talk page.
Though unaffiliated with the WikiCup, July sees the third Great Wikipedia Dramaout- a project with not dissimilar goals to the WikiCup. Everyone is welcome to take part and do their bit to contribute to the encyclopedia itself.
If you're interested in the scores for the last round of the Cup, please take a look at Wikipedia:WikiCup/History/2010/Round 3 and Wikipedia:WikiCup/History/2010/Full/Round 3. Our thanks go to Stone (submissions) for compiling these. As was predicted, Group C ended up the "Group of Death", with 670 points required for second place, and, therefore, automatic promotion. This round will probably be even tougher- again, the top two from each of the two groups will make it through, while the twelve remaining participants will compete for four wildcard places- good luck everyone!

I just got a response from Dr. Landsea earlier today and he did reply to your question of whether Hurricane 6 and 7 were the same storm. I'll paste that part of the email below
Lastly, storms #6 and 7 in 1887 are definitely two distinct, strong hurricanes. Please check out the great work that Jose Partagas did in digging up original ship reports from these hurricanes: http://www.aoml.noaa.gov/hrd/Landsea/Partagas/1887/1887a.pdf Occasionally, we do have TCs that have similar genesis/tracks. For example, Katrina and Rita and, more recently, Alex and TD2.
Hope that helps :) Cyclonebiskit (talk) 16:58, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

Hi Julian, How are you? I have made a couple of posts on your recall page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Juliancolton/Recall about our article, but maybe you have not visited that site for some time.

Julian,
I finally got this view from the hairpin turn above Amenia on Route 44 in. I see you're sort-of taking the summer off ... but do you still think this should be a selected pic (for both the HV and NYSR portals, I should add)?
Also, you're closer than I am if you want to improve on the image by going there on a clearer day, perhaps with little white fluffy clouds in the sky to make it more interesting. It isn't hard to duplicate this shot. Daniel Case (talk) 16:02, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

Hey Julian. About two months ago there was an issue concerning those templates and I saw that you wrote something about that it is important to distinguish those templates according to the object which is cited, e.g. cite web should not be used for papers, cite news not for journals or so. You referred that you have been informed in the chat about that. Could you please explain that to me, since we have a discussion on that topic on the German WP at the moment. TIA. --Matthiasb (talk) 19:13, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

We are half-way through our penultimate round, and nothing is yet certain. Pool A, currently led by Sasata (submissions) has ended up the more competitive, with three contestants ( Sasata (submissions), Sturmvogel_66 (submissions) and TonyTheTiger (submissions)) scoring over 500 points already. Pool B is led by Casliber (submissions), who has also scored well over 500. The top two from each pool, as well as the next four highest scorers regardless of pool, will make it through to our final eight. As ever, anything you worry may not receive the necessary attention before the end of the round (such as outstanding GA or FA nominations) is welcome at Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews, and please remember to continue offering reviews yourself where possible. As always, the judges are available to contact via email, IRC or their talk pages, and general discussion about the Cup is welcome on the WikiCup talk page.
Planning has begun for the 2011 WikiCup, with open discussions concerning scoring and flags for next year's competition. Contributions to those discussions would be appreciated, especially concerning the flags, as next year's signups cannot begin until the flag issue has been resolved. Signups will hopefully open at some point in this round, with discussion about possible changing in the scoring/process opening some time afterwards.
Earlier this round, we said goodbye to Hunter Kahn (submissions), who has bowed out to spend more time on the book he is authoring with his wife. We wish him all the best. In other news, the start of this round also saw some WikiCup awards sent out by Suomi Finland 2009 (submissions). We appreciate his enthusiasm, and contestants are of course welcome to award each other prizes as they see fit, but rest assured that we will be sending out "official" awards at the end of the competition.

In this article, you state that it "transitioned into an extratropical cyclone before weakening into an extratropical cyclone." I'm uncertain what you mean (subtropical?), so I'm not gonna change it, but you wrote it I believe so just wanted to tell you. Hello32020 (talk) 01:23, 7 August 2010 (UTC)
I was wondering why you deleted the page about the band Koel Bewaren? I was looking for information about them, and came across a reference to that page on the page about the town Aalsmeer, but apparently you have deleted it. Fenneke (talk) 15:01, 7 August 2010 (UTC)
I came to this one when I responded to a request for feedback.
New article was recently made, Paul LaViolette. I removed the PROD [6] because, despite it being previously deleted through discussion, it was hardly a clear-cut case; Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Paul LaViolette (2nd nomination). Also that was almost a year ago, so I thought that it 'deserved' discussion (if the PRODder decides to take it to AfD).
I hope you understand my decisions there. Chzz ► 15:36, 8 August 2010 (UTC)
I'm not going to try for adminship anytime soon, perhaps not at all, but maybe you could help me brush up on some of the semi-basics? Maybe get my feet wet at AfD and things like that? Not really adoption, but getting to know the administrative parts of Wikipedia.

We have our final eight! The best of luck to those who remain. A bumper newsletter this week as we start our home straight.
We say goodbye to the six who fell at the final hurdle. Geschichte (submissions) only just missed out on a place in the final eight. Resolute (submissions) was not far behind. Candlewicke (submissions) was awarded top points for in the news this round. Gary King (submissions) contributed a variety of did you know articles. Suomi Finland 2009 (submissions) said "I'm surprised to have survived so far into the competition", but was extactic to see Finland in the semi-finals. Arsenikk (submissions) did not score this round, but has scored highly in previous rounds. We also say goodbye to Ian Rose (submissions), who withdrew earlier this month after spending six weeks overseas. Anyone interested in this round's results can see them here and here. Thank you to Stone (submissions) for these.
Signups for next year's competition are now open. Planning is ongoing, with a key discussion about judges for next year open. Discussion about how next year's scoring will work is ongoing, and thoughts are more than welcome at Wikipedia talk:WikiCup/Scoring. Also, TonyTheTiger is compiling some information and statistics on the finalists here- the final eight are encouraged to add themselves to the list.
Our final eight will play it out for two months, after which we will know 2010's WikiCup winner, and a variety of prizes will be awarded.

I am a first time reviewer trying to help out on the GA nominations backlog. Your name was on the GA mentor list and I wondered if you could review my comments before I feed them back to the editor? (They're a list at the moment but I'll write them properly for the actual review.)
I have reviewed Caernarfon Castle. I have checked it against the "Quick fail" criteria and it passed okay. Although I do not have access to the references quoted I undertook the review as I have visited the castle twice and have an interest (although it is outside the field that I normally write edits for). I have checked that the references exist and have checked the general historical facts against internet sources. My comments are as follows:
I thought that the article could pass for GA but didn't know whether to put it on hold for any of the above points, or just correct them myself. Your advice would be greatly appreciated!! Kenchikuben (talk) 16:18, 12 September 2010 (UTC)

If I recall correctly you are quite the enthusiast for hurricane and tropical storm articles. I came across this one today and frankly am wondering if the whole thing is bullshit. I've never heard of tropical weather in the Netherlands before, I'm thinking it's either a hoax or a badly mangled translation, but I really don't know anything about this subject so maybe I'm just completely off base.

Sir,
As a resident of Clanton, Alabama (and webmaster of the city web site), I was interested in learning more about the actor and Clanton native Drew Roy.
When I checked Wikipedia, I found that a page for this actor had been deleted in 2009 due to several reasons, but primarily insufficient notability.
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Drew_Roy
In the period since this deletion, the actor has appeared (credited) in multiple episodes of Disney Channel's iCarly and Hannah Montana, as well as the movie Secretariat which is being released this month. While his career is obviously still young, he arguably is becoming more notable and I would like to request a new review of his page. Steventhomas42 (talk) 20:57, 22 September 2010 (UTC)

On that, there is what I consider a possibly serious omission. In "If you do not sign-in or edit anonymously, you cannot complete either process." there should be a comma after 'sign-in', and preferably 'if you' after the 'or' as well. As it stands, it implies one can complete the process if one either signs in or edits anonymously - which I do not think is the intention. This is in a 'short cut' which I can't edit - in part at least because I don't know where it's kept... Peridon (talk) 23:19, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

Hello! This is a note to let the main editors of this article know that it will be appearing as the main page featured article on October 20, 2010. You can view the TFA blurb at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/October 20, 2010. If you think that it is necessary to change the main date, you can request it with the featured article director, Raul654 (talk · contribs). If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page so Wikipedia doesn't look bad. :) Thanks!

The 1910 Cuba hurricane was a destructive and unusual tropical cyclone which struck Cuba and the United States in October 1910. It formed in the southern Caribbean on October 9 and intensified as it moved northwestward, becoming a hurricane on October 12. After crossing the western tip of Cuba, it peaked on October 16, corresponding to Category 4 on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale. It moved in a counterclockwise loop and hit Cuba again. It then tracked toward Florida, landing near Cape Romano. After moving through the state, it hugged the coast of the Southeastern United States on its way out to sea. Due to its unusual loop, initial reports suggested it was two separate storms which hit in rapid succession. It is considered one of the worst natural disasters in Cuban history. It also had a widespread impact in Florida. (more...)
It's just about done. I just have to write a brief introduction and it will be ready. Can you deliver it? Please add User:Floydian, User:Alaney2K and User:Svgalbertian to the list for this distribution. (They're mentioned in a story on the first CRWP FA or the new bot for highway markers.)

Hi,JC
I was clarifying things on Indian Institute of Technology Bombay when I noticed the LAOTSE acronym. You deleted a previous incarnation of the article. OK if I start it again? (This time with relevant material, of course.) There's plenty enough reliable refs available online for a reasonably competent editor to start a stub.
Must admit, even if you are/were working with LAOTSE and possibly conflicted, I'm surprised you didn't simply re-write the article instead of deleting it. Oh, and just one more thing. I couldn't find a contact email at http://www.laotse.vo.tum.de/ or thru a search of the TUM site. A "heads up": clicking the "Home" button on the front page of www.laotse.vo.tum.de sends the reader to a website about hair-care products... in Japanese.

The 2010 WikiCup is over! It has been a long journey, but what has been achieved is impressive: combined, participants have produced over seventy featured articles, over five hundred good articles, over fifty featured lists, over one thousand one hundred "did you know" entries, in addition to various other pieces of recognised content. A full list (which has yet to be updated to reflect the scores in the final round) can be found here. Perhaps more importantly, we have our winner! The 2010 WikiCup champion is Sturmvogel_66 (submissions), with an unbelievable 4220 points in the final round. Second place goes to TonyTheTiger (submissions), with 2260, and third to Casliber (submissions), with 560. Congratulations to our other four finalists – White Shadows (submissions), William S. Saturn (submissions), Staxringold (submissions) and ThinkBlue (submissions). Also, congratulations to Sasata (submissions), who withdrew from the competition with an impressive 2685 points earlier in this round.
Prizes will also be going to those who claimed the most points for different types of content in a single round. It was decided that the prizes would be awarded for those with the highest in a round, rather than overall, so that the finalists did not have an unfair advantage. Winning the featured article prize is Casliber (submissions), for five featured articles in round 4. Winning the good article prize is Sturmvogel_66 (submissions), for eighty-one good articles in round 5. Winning the featured list prize is Staxringold (submissions), for six featured lists in round 1. Winning the picture and sound award is Jujutacular (submissions), for four featured pictures in round 3. Winning the topic award is Sturmvogel_66 (submissions), for forty-seven articles in various good topics in round 5. Winning the "did you know" award is TonyTheTiger (submissions), for over one hundred did you knows is round 5. Finally, winning the in the news award is Candlewicke (submissions), for nineteen articles in the news in round three.
The WikiCup has faced criticism in the last month – hopefully, we will take something positive from it and create a better contest for next year. Like Wikipedia itself, the Cup is a work in progress, and ideas for how it should work are more than welcome on the WikiCup talk page and on the scoring talk page. Also, people are more than welcome to sign up for next year's competition on the signup page. Well done and thank you to everyone involved – the Cup has been a pleasure to run, and we, as judges, have been proud to be a part of it. We hope that next year, however the Cup is working, and whoever is running it, it will be back, stronger and more popular than ever. Until then, goodbye and happy editing!

Hello Juliancolton, I had a recent foray with an IP user who portended to be you. If in fact this interaction was with you, I want you to know you have misunderstood my actions. and I completely allow that I may in fact have misunderstood yours as well.

Hi,
I'm in a class at UC Berkeley and our project is to improve an article. The topic that we are working on specifically is copyleft, but the article that i would like to work on is patentleft.

Hi Julian. We're trying to figure out how many students we can mentor next term and how many additional Online Ambassadors will be needed. Based on the revised plan for what participating courses will be like next term, I've sketched out what will be expected of mentors. Please look that over, and then go to the online ambassadors talk page to indicate much mentoring and other ambassador activities you'd like to do next term. Thanks!
Also, you never responded about some of the details I asked for by email... I still haven't signed you up for the Wikipedia Ambassadors Google Group yet, among other things. Please take a look at that and get back to me; I can resend the email if you like. Cheers--Sage Ross - Online Facilitator, Wikimedia Foundation (talk) 17:58, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

Hi, my name is James Fullerton, and I'm a teacher at Southern Lehigh Middle School in PA. Recently I've created a project that involves Wikipedia (WP) and small groups of students making a contribution to a WP article of their choosing, as long as the topic is related to the content of the course - being American Government, Civics, and Economics. For the past 4 weeks, students have become involved in the culture of WP, with many already narrowing in on a topic for their contribution. Here is the supportive material on Wikispaces (https://wikiedit.wikispaces.com/). Your assistance would be greatly appreciated! Would you be available to act as a mentor to a small group of students as they begin to offer additional content to an article of their interest? The team sizes are numbered between 5-7 students each. I will notify you as to who is in the teams with their WP user names. Jmfullerton (talk) 17:25, 12 December 2010 (UTC)

Julian, I am conducting my first GA review at Talk:United States v. Wong Kim Ark/GA1. I am conducting this review as a homework assignment for the Wikipedia:Campus Ambassadors training I will undergo next week in San Francisco. As part of the training I am required to do a review and then discuss my review and the review process in an open forum with other editors. I chose the article at random, but do have some familarity with U.S. Constitutional Law, so its not a strange subject. I am attempting to follow the GA guidelines and conduct the review accordingly, but I am confident, as this is my first review, I will get something wrong. I do not plan on passing judgement on the article until midweek, but would appreciate any advice or feedback you might give me over the course of the week on my application of the process and my specific review. Am not worried about making a mistake, but experienced eyes on a newbies (me and GA) work is always useful. Thanks --Mike Cline (talk) 23:29, 2 January 2011 (UTC)

Dear Julian,
Wow, you've blown way past me in edits. I'm overwhelmed - I'm twice as far down the ranking list as you. You've left me in the dust! Man-o-man, we could sure use some of your energy on the outlines project. ;) Speaking of which...
We've undergone a name change: the project has been simplified to "WikiProject Outlines".
The current main focus is on increasing the availability of outlines. If readers can't find the outlines, the outlines can't help them. We need to figure out the best places to put links, and the best ways to attract external traffic directly to these pages.
While studying the link structure to outlines, I came across a navigation aid I forgot we had that you might find useful:
Due to the occasional sniping attempt on outlines and their support pages, outlines now have an alert page at Wikipedia:WikiProject Outlines/Article alerts. Please go there now and add it to your watchlist.
Tarheel95 and Robert Skyhawk are working on a project to track traffic to outline pages. Speaking of traffic...
A discussion on outline traffic analysis has been started on the Outlines WikiProject talk page. You are cordially invited to participate. Your input is greatly needed on possible ways to increase the availability of the outlines. All ideas and feedback are welcome. I look forward to seeing you there.
Sincerely, The Transhumanist 05:29, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
P.S.: don't forget to watchlist the alert page mentioned above. Cheers. -TT

We are half way through round one of the WikiCup. Signups are now closed, and we have 129 listed competitors, 64 of whom will make it to round two. Congratulations to The Bushranger (submissions), who, at the time of writing, has a comfortable lead with 228 points, followed by Hurricanehink (submissions), with 144 points. Four others have over 100 points. Congratulations also go to Yellow Evan (submissions), who scored the first points in the competition, claiming for Talk:Hurricane King/GA1, Miyagawa (submissions), who scored the first non-review points in the competition, claiming for Dognapping, and Jarry1250 (submissions) who was the first in the competition to use our new "multiplier" mechanic (explanation), claiming for Grigory Potemkin, a subject covered on numerous Wikipedias. Thanks must also go to Jarry1250 for dealing with all bot work- without you, the competition wouldn't be happening!
A running total of claims can be seen here. However, numerous competitors are yet to score at all- please remember to submit content soon after it is promoted, so that the judges are able to review entries. The number of points that will be needed to reach round two is not clear- everyone needs to get their entries in now to guarantee their places! 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 GAC, 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, or by email. Good luck!

Hi,
Thanks for being one of SuggestBot's users! I hope you have found the bot's suggestions useful.
We are in the process of switching from our previous list-based signup process to using templates and userboxes, and I have therefore added the appropriate template to your user talk page. You should receive the first set of suggestions within a day, and since we'll be automating SuggestBot you will from then on continue to receive them regularly at the desired frequency.
We now also have a userbox that you can use to let others know you're using SuggestBot, and if you don't want to clutter your user talk page the bot can post to a sub-page in your userspace. More information about the userbox and usage of the template is available on User:SuggestBot/Getting Recommendations Regularly.
If there are any questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch with me on my user talk page. Thanks again, Nettrom (talk) 16:13, 10 February 2011 (UTC)
