Hello, I see that you are interested in
Wikipedia:WikiProject Record Charts and hopefully you can look into these edits:
[1],
[2],
[3]. Do you think that the succession box for UK number one albums is "unnecessary and inappropriate" in that article? It is the same box that is used, for example, in Eyes Open and many other, if not all, articles about chart-topping albums. But someone keeps removing the box and I just don't get it.

FTC is complete!! Ohhh, yeahhh (said in a sleazy tone). Now all there's left to do is to ask for Heather Phares' hand in marriage. RB88 (

There has been some
discussion on if a monthly newsletter is viable. The current result is not clear, though it appears for the time being months will simply be skipped as necessary when project activity is low.
There has been a heated
debate on how to deal with criticism and controversy in Eurovision Song Contest article, with a proposal made to re-organise articles to avoid dedicated "controversy" and "criticism" sections in order to have maximum
neutral point of view policy compliance.
The
RTL Group has declared that they are seriously considering a return of
Luxembourg to the Eurovision Song Contest for 2010.
Azerbaijan's participation in the 2010 Eurovision Song Contest has been put in doubt following
controversial actions which are believed to have occurred after the
2009 Contest. Azerbaijan has denied that any questioning of individuals over voting in the contest has occurred.
Welcome to the thirteenth edition of the WikiProject Eurovision Newsletter!
August 2009 will not be remembered as a good month for WikiProject Eurovision. The number of this newsletter might have something to do with it, other possible explanations include circumstances, time of year, and even just coincidence. In any case we have had no new members and no further GA or FA article promotions.
The demotion of
Eurovision Song Contest, probably the most important article on the project, was a historic blow. Reasons for this and other demotions in recent months include an inflation of article standards, article deterioration through inappropriate edits, and possibly inappropriate promotions in some cases.
We should remember however that despite these demotions we still have 2 FAs, 9 GAs, and 41 B-class articles, as well as 2 Featured Lists. This is a big achievement for a project with only 75 members, a small amount compared to other projects. To compare
WikiProject Schools has 292 members with no newsletter, and
WikiProject Video games has a massive 1,298 members with only a quarterly newsletter.
This project will likely be disadvantaged for a long time to come with limited membership and fluctuating activity during the year, but it will grow out of this blip.
In this round of the WikiCup, the bottom four contestants of the top eight will be eliminated on September 30th, while the top four will continue with the same score for an additional month. On October 31, a winner will be announced.
Top 4
Durova (875)
Ottava Rima (650)
Theleftorium (618)
Shoemaker's Holiday (441)
Bottom 4
Sasata (426)
Candlewicke (277)
Mitchazenia (257)
Juliancolton (253)
All scores are accurate as of 18:57, 12 September 2009 (UTC).

Wikipedia:Featured sound candidates/Trois Quintetti Concertans contains files not uploaded by me, but which I did spend about 2-3 hours documenting, doing basic research, and preparing file description pages for. Since I do, at least, have some strong input into the work, can I claim Wikicup credit? If so, what would a reasonable amount of credit to claim be? Perhaps 3 (one for each quintet)?

Sorry about that! It didn't occur to me that there might still be matches left to play. I wanted to eliminate the issue that inevitably arises when speakers of different English varieties mistakenly believe that "defeat"/"win" should be "defeats"/"wins" (or the reverse) and repeatedly seek to correct the perceived error. Next time, I'll be sure to check our article for the details instead of assuming anything. —

Hi Garden, I'm not sure if you remember, but you once told me to get the Snow Patrol discography page to FLC (when you "mercilessly" redirected the list of songs page to the disco article!) we got around improving it, and its now a FL candidate. You have substantial edits on the page, so you're invited to comment!

I have been working hard on making The Epstein School Wiki page a quality page that represents the educational community well. any suggestions you have for improvement are greatly appreciated. Also I would like to change the info box to indicate the city to be Sandy Springs rather than Atlanta.

I was trying to uplaod an image a waring came up. I do not understand. I see similar images and logos for other schools ie Roswell high School, GA that are used for Fair Use.
Clou2epstein, please stop placing the {{adminhelp}} template on Garden's talk page. If you have a question for her, just leave it here and he'll get to it when he comes online. The adminhelp template is intended for when you have a general question, not directed at any particular person, and should only be placed on your user talk page. Placing it here confuses things for those of us who try to respond to them. Thanks!

The Video games project has created a
member list to provide a clearer picture of its active membership.
All members have currently been placed in the "Inactive" section by default. Please remove your username from the "Inactive" listing and place it under the "Active" listing if you plan on regularly:
Ideally, members are encouraged to do both, but either one meets our criteria of inclusion. Members still listed inactive at the beginning of November 2009 may be removed. You may re-add yourself to the active list at any time. Thank you for your help, and we look forward to working with you.
I am afraid I am beginning to feel targeted. I assure you that I have acted in good faith and have been couteous and polite. Please provide guidance/assitance/insight.

Input/Guidance/Assitance:
Please provide me with input/guidance/assitance. Despite my continued efforts to act in good faith, I seem to have additional issues with misleading information that have arisen regarding COI. While I have hopefully clarified this, I have requested removal of COI and the REVISED vodcast info to be reverted, and I would appreciate your input on my talk page and discussion page. Thanks

I can't image any way that something you nominate even as early as today will pass before Wednesday. If anything you've already nominated passes between now and Wednesday, or you still have things you haven't added to your submission pages, now is the time to do it! This half of the round ends this Wednesday (September 30) at 23:59 (UTC), and the bottom four contestants will be eliminated. The top four will keep their score from the first half, and continue competing through October 31. Good luck everyone!
