Hi F’sD! I have two IRC questions for you:
Thanks for any help you can give me on this! (Btw, how many hours ahead of UTC is your time zone in Australia? We’re UTC—5 here in Toronto.) — SpikeToronto 20:56, 1 November 2010 (UTC)
ASIDE: Your user page answered my struck out question above: you are 15 hours ahead of us and 10 hours ahead of UTC. I should add a clock to my page too … — SpikeToronto 20:59, 1 November 2010 (UTC)
/msg nickserv identify <your password>
or just put your NickServ password as your server password in your IRC client.” Well, when you go on IRC using just a browser, one does not provide a password, just a nickname. Plus, it specifically says IRC client. I like your suggestion regarding mIRC. Thanks! — SpikeToronto 05:24, 6 November 2010 (UTC)I'm glad it helped :) if you need further assistance, feel free to contact me.

A message from WikiProject Wikify!
Thanks for participating in the October 2010 Wikification Backlog Elimination Drive! We made significant progress, wikifying hundreds of articles. However, the backlog still needs a large amount of effort--discussions about the next drive (in December) are underway. Until then, happy editing! Ⓢock 00:10, 4 November 2010 (UTC) |
Hi there! I thought you might be interested in the December 2010 Wikification Backlog Elimination Drive. We're currently recruiting help to clear a massive backlog (22,000+ articles), and we need your help! Participants in the drive will receive barnstars for their contributions! If you have a spare moment, please join and wikify an article or tell your friends. Thanks! |

Aacarrie did respond to your post about adoptions, just in an untraditional way. Wanted to make sure you saw that, as they're all new and wouldn't know to add a talk back. I am the teacher assistant for a course using Wikipedia to create articles on public art this semester. While I'm comfortable and confident in "teaching" Wikipedia in a variety of ways, the Adopt-a-user program was kind of an experiment (in including it in the "getting started" steps). I see now I should have probably checked in with you or someone else involved as adopters before I included that step in their homework assignments. We didn't mean to throw an extra 20 adoptees at you at once. We'll be discussing this in class and ironing things out this week. Appreciate your help! HstryQT (talk) 14:49, 6 November 2010 (UTC)
While I miss coaching, I don't really have the time or the energy to devote myself to it. Sorry to say. However, if being an admin is in your sights in the near future, my recommendation is really to do the things you love and actively look for things to do.
In your case, I would say that it would be article writing. No, it's not because I believe that article writers are inherently better or even better suited for adminship (one of the great fallacies that too many people perpetrate around here), but simply because writing is at the core of the Wikipedian experience. The moment you get that GA or that FA out, it's a pretty good feeling after all the hard work you put into it.
If you have any questions though, feel free to ask me. Cheers, bibliomaniac15 19:04, 6 November 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) 23:39, 9 November 2010 (UTC)

Mind if I help you out with that GA? I'd love to actually do some article work (for once). Or I can do the review. Either one. Mr. R00t Talk 02:36, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

Could I ask you to please not add users to the list until their RfA is actually closed? Thanks :) Ϫ 16:43, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

Greetings from the Guild of Copy Editors Backlog Elimination Drive!
We have reached the midway point in our backlog elimination drive, so here is an update. Participation report — The November drive has 53 participants at this point. We had 77 participants in the September drive. In July, 95 people signed up for the drive, and in May we had 36. If you are not participating, it is not too late to join! Progress report — The drive is quite successful so far, as we have already almost reached our target of a 10% reduction in the number of articles in the backlog. We are doing very well at keeping our Requests page clear, as those articles count double for word count for this drive. Please keep in mind the possibility of removing other tags when you are finished with an article. If the article no longer needs ((cleanup)), ((wikify)), or other similar maintenance tags, please remove them, as this will make the tasks of other WikiProjects easier to complete. Thanks very much for participating in the Drive, and see you at the finish line!

Greetings, Ancient Apparition. I'm a new editor, who wishes to improve the article The Conflict Continuum. It's based on my work, so would hope to have enough references on file to bring it up to standard.
I would like to get adopted so I can do this right. You seem exceptionally sane. Would you consider adopting me? The Wikipedian galaxy takes some getting used to, and I'd rather not make a mess of things. Thank you Amedea (talk) 17:54, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

Hi, we don't normally delete user talkpages except for some of the people who exercise RTV. So I've just restored this archive of yours which seems to have been accidentally deleted. You are welcome to archive talkpages by either moving or copying them, but if you move them they shouldn't subsequently be deleted. If there are any individual revisions in there that need to be deleted for privacy reasons just drop me the details on an email and I'll sort that out for you.

On 22 November 2010, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article James C. Kent, which you recently nominated. The fact was ... that in 1999, James C. Kent ruled that the Government of Canada must answer discovery questions from the Six Nations pertaining to its handling of indigenous land on the Grand River? If you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

Two things:
Unrelated to your userpage, I have concerns over the GA of Stephen Colbert. A review in 2 days? I see multiple issues: two external links mid-article, a whole unsourced paragraph (under "Other work"), another under "The Daily Show", two more under "Awards and honors", and numerous other unsourced sentences, plus the "Filmography" section's table needs sources and a minor copyedit. You should address these issues immediately, lest someone else notices and wants a GA reassessment. /ƒETCHCOMMS/ 02:26, 25 November 2010 (UTC)
Get ready. The December 2010 Wikification Backlog Elimination Drive is about to begin. Prep your keyboards, as the drive aims to wikify over 2,000 articles this month. We're going to need all the firepower we can get, so please get your friends to join up as well. In case you didn't know, wikification is fairly simple: just add wiki markup, links, and similar ". Thanks for joining; we're looking forward to an exciting time this month!

Thank you for your support at my RfA last week. I'll do everything I can to live up to your expectations and if you ever need help from a janitor please feel free to drop me a line! PanydThe muffin is not subtle 22:39, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
As you are either a participant of WikiProject or the October wikification drive or have signed up to participate in the planned December drive, this probably concerns you. Discussions that have been inactive for a couple weeks regarding the December drive have been reactivated, and we would like you to participate in these discussions, and also consider joining the December drive. We have taken upon ourselves a massive workload, encompassing a backlog reaching June 2008 and comprising 0 articles. Barnstars will be awarded to participating editors, and also, please invite your friends to join! Please do not reply to this message here. Either reply here, here or here.
