Hello Basalisk! Thank you for your willingness to help out Wikipedia. Vandalism is a major issue on Wikipedia right now. First, it would be best to install a vandalism-fighting tool, such as Twinkle or Huggle. Both are very good vandalism-fighting tools. You can install Twinkle by going to the "Gadgets" tab in your preferences. After getting used to Twinkle or Huggle, you can request the rollback feature. Generally, you need a substantial amount of vandalism reverts in order to request the tool. The rollback feature is a very useful tool in vandalism fighting. If you want, you can participate in Articles for deletion requests by posting if the article meets Wikipedia's policies. I hope this helps you out, if you have any other questions, please post on my talk page or re-add the {{helpme}} template. Happy editing! -- Luke (Talk) 01:13, 16 September 2011 (UTC)
hi , thanks for your help with yoko ono I would like to update the John Lennon article but it's "locked" how do I make a request to include the information on his son? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.96.80.15 ( talk) 17:52, 28 September 2011 (UTC)
Hi Basalisk. After reviewing your request for rollback, I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:
If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! FASTILY (TALK) 21:08, 28 September 2011 (UTC)

Invitation from the
Guild of Copy Editors
The Guild of Copy Editors invites you to participate in their November 2011 Backlog elimination drive, a month-long effort to reduce the size of the copy edit backlog. The drive begins on November 1 at 00:00 (UTC) and ends on November 30 at 23:59 (UTC). We will be tracking the number of 2010 articles (and specifically will be targeting the oldest three months), as we want to copy edit as many of these as possible. Barnstars will be awarded to anyone who copy edits more than 4,000 words, and special awards will be given to the top 5 in the following categories: "Number of articles", "Number of words", and "Number of articles of over 5,000 words". We hope to see you there! – Your drive coordinators: Diannaa, Chaosdruid, The Utahraptor, Slon02, and SMasters. |

Hi Elahrairah! I see that you are an copyeditor, and thought that you might appreciate some help with finding and eliminating multiple links (or wikification) from the article on which you are working.
I case you're not aware, all you need to do is install the following script:
importScript('User:Ucucha/duplinks.js');
onto Special:MyPage/skin.js, and you'll find a clickable link called "Highlight duplicate links" in your toolbox section of the page (probably in the left hand column). It can be found both in normal view mode and edit mode. Press on it, and away you go! Have fun! -- Sp33dyphil © • © 09:25, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

Hi, this message is to let you know about disambiguation links you've recently created. A link to a disambiguation page is almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. For more information, see the FAQ or drop a line at the DPL WikiProject.
Any suggestions for improving this automated tool are welcome. Thanks, DPL bot ( talk) 18:37, 14 November 2011 (UTC)
Guild of Copy Editors November 2011 backlog elimination drive update
Greetings from the
Guild of Copy Editors
November 2011 Backlog elimination drive! Here's the mid-drive newsletter. Participation: We have had 46 people sign up for this drive so far, and 28 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 joined, it's not too late. Join us! Progress report: We are making great progress in our goal of clearing out the oldest articles (April, May, and June 2010) from the queue. There are 122 articles left in those categories, which compares very favorably with the 281 that were present at the close of the September drive. We have reduced the 2010 backlog by 184 articles so far. Coordinator elections: The term of our second tranche of coordinators will be running out at the end of the year, and we will be accepting nominations for new coordinators early in December. The election will likely run in the last two weeks of December. Please consider helping out by nominating yourself or someone else in the Guild as one of our coordinators. The commitment is for a six-month term. Thanks. Your drive coordinators – Diannaa, Chaosdruid, The Utahraptor, Slon02 and SMasters |

Guild of Copy Editors November 2011 backlog elimination drive report
![]() Greetings from the Guild of Copy Editors November 2011 Backlog elimination drive! We would like to thank all who participated in this drive. Here is the end-of-drive report.
There were 48 editors who signed-up for this drive, of which 35 participated. Thank you to everyone who helped reduce the size of the backlog!
During the drive, we reduced the backlog by 232 articles, or by about 6%. This is a two percent increase from our September drive, when we copy edited 4% of the backlog. We were successful in our primary goal of clearing the oldest three months—March, April, and May 2010—from the queue. Thanks to all who helped copy edit these difficult articles. Thus far we have reduced the copy edit backlog by 5086 articles, or by about 61%. End-of-drive results and barnstar information can be found here.
The term of our second tranche of coordinators has run out, and we will be accepting nominations from December 5, 00:01 UTC to December 15, 23:59 UTC. If you or any other member of the Guild of Copy Editors wishes to be a coordinator, add your name to this page along with a statement describing why you believe you should be a coordinator for the Guild. You must be able to commit to a six month term. Thanks! Once again, thank you for participating in the Guild's November 2011 Backlog elimination drive! Our next drive will be in January, and we hope to see you there! Your drive coordinators – Diannaa, Chaosdruid, The Utahraptor, Slon02 and SMasters |

This was very questionable. As the nominator, attempting an unsigned supervote in a comment box rings wrong. I have no opinion on the AFD, but you should not have written that, especially unsigned, especially in a magic box. Hipocrite ( talk) 13:49, 12 December 2011 (UTC)
After the warning you gave this user I had hoped he would refrain from further personal attacks, sadly he has not. [1] Says I am biased and am pushing an agenda.

Hello Basalisk, regarding your closure of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Santi Bonfanti, I had relisted the discussion 20 minutes prior. I did this because, while only the nominator was arguing for deletion, the nominator brought up valid points that have not been addressed. The deletion concern is whether or not the subject has received significant coverage in reliable sources. No sources were presented by the keep !voters to meet this concern, nor did the comments even clearly establish the subject's notability. Could you please undo the closure and allow further comments to establish clearer consensus. Thank you, Alpha_Quadrant (talk) 03:11, 15 December 2011 (UTC)
I would like to know why you proposed the article List of accolades received by Bodyguard (2011 Hindi film) for deletion. -- Karthik Nadar 07:34, 21 December 2011 (UTC)
Hey, I'm sorry in case you felt me a little rude. But I was just seeking for justification, because this is not the alone list article for accolades. Cheers! -- Karthik Nadar 08:21, 21 December 2011 (UTC)
Hello Basalisk. I am just letting you know that I deleted The samoyed, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, under a different criterion from the one you provided, which doesn't fit the page in question. Thank you. Guerillero | My Talk 07:36, 21 December 2011 (UTC)
No problem. Long days happen, they can get the best of us. =)
The research was, of course, easy - the dupe detector found a link. It wasn't entirely a line by line duplicate, as it omitted certain data, but it's close enough to criteria for copyvio that it's reasonable.
Have a good night, and a safe and happy holiday. -- Dennis The Tiger ( Rawr and stuff) 07:57, 21 December 2011 (UTC)

As asked above. If it is a problem with the name having the word "crisis", then I accept that the name could be changed to replace the term "crisis" with "dispute". Whether it is the "crisis in the Strait of Hormuz" or the "Strait of Hormuz dispute", it is still a serious issue that has recently erupted - US, British, French, and Russian naval forces entered the Persian Gulf area this weekend and multiple government officials from the US, China, and other states have responded to the events happening in the Persian Gulf. Iran's recent military exercises in the Gulf and threats to attack US forces should a US aircraft carrier enter the region have aggravated the US.-- R-41 ( talk) 22:46, 9 January 2012 (UTC)
This is an international relations dispute involving more than a Iranian-US dispute, it involves the Gulf Cooperation Council that includes Saudi Arabia and other Arab states, it involves Russia opposing Iran's threat - Russia has not always been on the side of the US, it involves the UK, and others. China has responded to the issue. Thus it cannot be merged into an article on Iran-US relations.-- R-41 ( talk) 23:19, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

I noticed in your edit suummary you said creators are not allowed to remove prod templates. Much to my dismay - they are indeed allowed to do so. Anyone may remove a PROD. I started an RFC on this to achieve parity with CSD and was shot down.

A tag has been placed on User:Basalisk/Sandbox/Sample transclusion, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia for multiple reasons. Please see the page to see the reasons. If the page has since been deleted, you can ask me the reasons by leaving a message on my user talk page.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you.

I recognize some of my mistakes and vow to not repeat these. However, where you failed, other Wikipedia users succeeded to explain these wrongdoings to me in a neutral manner avoiding the pitfall of aligning themselves with PRODUCER in the process.

Guild of Copy Editors January 2012 backlog elimination drive
![]() Greetings from the
Guild of Copy Editors
January 2012 Backlog elimination drive! Here is your end-of-drive wrap-up newsletter. Participation 45 people signed up for this drive this time; of these, 35 participated. This is similar to the number of editors who helped out in November. Thanks to all who participated! Barnstars will be distributed in the near future. Progress report Recent drives have been focusing on the oldest three months in the backlog. During this drive we were successful in eliminating our target months—July, August, and September 2010—from the queue, and there are less than 300 articles remaining from 2010. 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 January 2012 drive! All contributions are appreciated. Our next copy edit drive will be in March. Your drive coordinators – The Utahraptor talk, S Masters ( talk), Diannaa ( Talk), Stfg ( Talk), Sp33dyphil ( talk), and Dank ( talk) |
Guild of Copy Editors March 2012 backlog elimination drive update

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. Your drive coordinators – Dianna ( talk), Stfg ( talk), and Dank ( talk)To discontinue receiving GOCE newsletters, please remove your name from our mailing list. |
