Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Stephen Hillenburg, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page ABC (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

Hello, Mediran: Hope you are having good times at Wikipedia. You'll be glad to know that WikiProject Bangladesh Premier League is holding a one month long Article Improvement Program!
The goal of this program is to improve the articles of WikiProject Bangladesh Premier League The drive is running from 15 January 2014 – 15 February 2014
Awards will be given out for all users participating in the drive in the form of barnstars and badges at the end of the drive.
Happy New Year, and welcome to a special double issue of Books & Bytes. We've included a retrospective on the changes and progress TWL has seen over the last year, the results of the survey TWL participants completed in December, some of our plans for the future, a second interview with a Wiki Love Libraries coordinator, and more. Here's to 2014 being a year of expansion and innovation for TWL!
The Wikipedia Library completed the first 6 months of its Individual Engagement grant last week. Here's where we are and what we've done:
Hi, Mediran. I noticed this edit by United States Man, which drew my attention to the 356 segments summary, and I thought I'd solicit your thoughts about the following matter: I know you worked out a great solution for updating episodes across multiple articles without having to go to each article and make the change, via an "episode count template". If we leave behind an ongoing "segments" count, it seems to confuse things. For example, the article currently mentions 356 segments aired, but is that an old number? Is there any value to creating a new "segment count template" or are we wasting time listing segments, per this discussion? Related, I'm not sure that United States Man's contribution is useful, as we don't explain how a "full" episode differs from any other episode. I will be cutting that.

hi dear, it is my humble request for you to Please upload the display picture of Govinda(actor) on Wikipedia (Link is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Govinda_%28actor%29). I have uploaded it so many times but every time some issue occurs regarding license or copyright. I don't know how to fix it or upload image successfully. You can find best pictures of Govinda here
http://themirchmasala.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/govinda-photoshoot.jpg
So it would be much better if you upload either the pictures whose link i have given above of Govinda without any licensing/copyright issue or upload any best picture of Govinda Thank you — Preceding unsigned comment added by Amanraj6 (talk • contribs) 20:26, 24 January 2014 (UTC)
Hello, Mediran, I am very interested in helping to fight vandalism on Wikipedia, and feel I understand the basics of the encyclopedia enough to begin training at the Counter-Vandalism Unit Academy. You looked to be the best available instructor for me near my timezone (according to the list of trainers), and if it's OK with you, I ask to be trained. Thank you for your time taken to consider this request. Have a nice day! --ObiWanDiscuss 17:47, 25 January 2014 (UTC)
Hi Mediran, I wanted to get your feedback. At SpongeBob SquarePants (season 9) these episodes are listed, but when I double-check the sources I see a general page like this one that says "Upcoming TV Show times" and "No upcoming shows found!" Should we delete these or do you have better sources?
Thanks, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 01:42, 10 February 2014 (UTC)

Notes from the Guild of Copy Editors
The March 2014 backlog elimination drive is a month-long effort to reduce the backlog of articles in need of copyediting. The drive begins on March 1 at 00:00 (UTC) and ends on March 31 at 23:59 (UTC). Our goals are to copyedit all articles tagged in December 2012 and January 2013 and to complete all requests placed in January 2014. Barnstars will be awarded to anyone who copyedits at least one article, and special awards will be given to the top five in the following categories: number of articles, number of words, number of articles over 5,000 words, number of articles tagged in December 2012 and January 2013 and the longest article. We hope to see you there! – Your drive coordinators: Jonesey95, Baffle gab1978 and Miniapolis To discontinue receiving GOCE newsletters, please remove your name from our mailing list.

It's that time again! Starting on March 1, there will be another GAN Backlog Drive! There will be several changes compared to previous drives:
Also, something that I thought I would share with all of you is that we raised $20.88 (USD) for the WMF in the December 2013 drive. It may not sound like a lot but considering that that was raised just because we reviewed articles, I would say that's pretty good! With that success, pledges can be made for the upcoming drive if you wish.
More info regarding the drive and full descriptions regarding the changes to this drive can be found on the the drive page. If you have any questions, feel free to leave a message on the drive talk page.
I look forward to your participation and hope that because of it, some day the backlog will be gone!

Hey Mediran,
I realise your status currently says "busy" (despite saying that for a few months now), but I was wondering if you could reply to my comments that I let you at the FAC for the Grand Theft Auto V soundtrack article? That would be great. Thank you! -- Rhain1999 (talk to me) 07:42, 30 April 2014 (UTC)
Hi. Thanks for your work on the article, but did you not see the banner on the top, asking other editors not to work on this article while we're going through it on a copy edit basis? Please don't do any more editing until the banner is replaced. It's just that sometimes this can lead to editing conflicts... especially if a section is taking a long time to go through. Thanks for your patience. It's a long article (and dear to my heart), so I want to take my time with it. Onel5969 (talk) 17:54, 10 May 2014 (UTC)
Okay, only the last two sections to go. I just finished the copy edit on the "Home release" sub-section. I did it in two edits, since I had to delete several sentences which did not make sense, and therefore I couldn't copy edit. One was uncited, and the other one had a citation which didn't seem to refer to the material. You might want to take a look at that change. Onel5969 (talk) 23:51, 12 May 2014 (UTC)

The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needing to be addressed.

Hi. Just finished the copy edit. If you don't mind, I one suggestion, and one thing I'd like to point out in the edit:
Hi Books & Bytes recipients: The Wikipedia Library has been expanding rapidly and we need some help! We currently have 10 signups for free account access open and several more in the works... In order to help with those signups, distribute access codes, and manage accounts we'll need 2-3 more Account Coordinators.
It takes about an hour to get up and running and then only takes a couple hours per week, flexible depending upon your schedule and routine. If you're interested in helping out, please drop a note in the next week at my talk page or shoot me an email at: jorlowitzgmail.com. Thanks and cheers, Jake Ocaasi via MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 23:41, 20 June 2014 (UTC)
