Greetings from the
Guild of Copy Editors
Backlog Elimination Drive!
We have reached the end of our fourth backlog elimination drive. Thanks to all who participated. Stats ![]()
Barnstars If you copy edited at least 4,000 words, you qualify for a barnstar. If you participated in the September 2010 backlog elimination drive, you may have earned roll-over words (more details can be found here). These roll-over words count as credit towards earning barnstars, except for leaderboard awards. We will be delivering these barnstars within the next couple of weeks. Our next drive is scheduled for January 2011. In the meantime, please consider helping out at the Wikification drive or any of the other places where help with backlogs is needed. Thank you for participating in the last 2010 backlog elimination drive! We look forward to seeing you in January! Your drive coordinators – The Utahraptor Talk to me/ Contributions, S Masters ( talk), and Diannaa ( Talk) |

Paul Kalkbrenner 2010: A Live Documentary is neither about a person nor a company. It is clearly about a film (movie) or video.-- Kudpung ( talk) 01:58, 4 December 2010 (UTC)
Hello Jsfouche. I am just letting you know that I have converted the speedy deletion tag that you placed on HIEPism to a proposed deletion tag, because I do not believe CSD applies to the page in question - it's not really about a person or an organisation, and unfortunately there isn't a speedy for "made up one day". Regards, JohnCD ( talk) 18:16, 5 December 2010 (UTC)
I just got a Barnstar from another contributor via my talk page and I just saw the one you left on my user page. Thank you very, very much for the kind gesture. It's truly and deeply appreciated. -- PMDrive1061 ( talk) 18:29, 5 December 2010 (UTC)
If there is an incomplete or unreferenced article here on a national or language related subject with a corresponding article in the Wikipedia for that language, we normally check first, rather than deleting. If there is more information in the other Wikipedia, either translate it yourself if you know how, or, place a tag on it {{Expand German}} or whatever the language is. DGG ( talk ) 04:43, 6 December 2010 (UTC)
Hey Jsfouche, how you doing, and pardon my ignorance, but in regards to Buenos Aires Metro, its getting two Wikipedia Page view statistics, one for the old name and one for the new name, here example on Line A (Buenos Aires Metro) for same dates, (first five days of December);
Line A (Buenos Aires Metro) has been viewed 125 times in 201012.
Line A (Buenos Aires) has been viewed 462 times in 201012.
any way of fixing this, Kind regards — Moebiusuibeom-en ( talk) 04:37, 7 December 2010 (UTC)
As your concerns are being addressed and the article expanded and properly sourced, might you consider a withdrawal? Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 09:05, 7 December 2010 (UTC)
Hello Jsfouche. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Rojo (band), a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Article claims importance/significance of the subject. Thank you. -- PhantomSteve/ talk| contribs\ 03:43, 8 December 2010 (UTC)
Thank you! -- Salento81 ( talk) 02:48, 9 December 2010 (UTC)
Just to let you know I've declined your request for speedy deletion of Learn at Home 8-12. Articles about schools are explicitly outside the scope of CSD criterion A7 and cannot be deleted under it. I'd suggest giving some time for the article to be improved; if it stays an unsourced sub, though, it could still be prodded or sent to AfD. — C.Fred ( talk) 06:36, 9 December 2010 (UTC)

Jer 22:18, 10 December 2010 (UTC)Hello there,
I created a new article this morning under the name "Kyle Dinkheller". It is the first time I have created an article and as I was looking through the history, I noticed your name pop up. I'm not sure if you edit material on wikipedia often. I am a novice but I enjoy the site very much and would like to contribute. Do you happen to know if I posted this article correctly? Is there anything I need to do or change? Thank you for your assistance.
Good day,

Hi! I've received an OTRS notification (ticket #2010121110004371) that the article Michael McGrady was marked for deletion due to lack of references. As far as I can tell, the references are now ok (albeit not overwhelming), so I removed your tag. If you feel it still doesn't fulfill BLP criteria, please feel free to reinstate the tag! Asav ( talk) 07:49, 11 December 2010 (UTC)
Hello Jsfouche. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Sultan Tarlacı, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: The article makes a credible assertion of importance or significance, sufficient to pass A7, and he shows up in Scholar. May not pass WP:PROF, though - feel free to AfD. JohnCD ( talk) 11:43, 11 December 2010 (UTC)
Hi Jsfouche
Thanks for your comments about COI. Since it's my first contribution I didn't realise that I could ask you directly (still feeling my way around!) and posted question on the help page AND my user page. Sorry!
I have already requested a change of user name to avoid confusion (it's only me).
I've also added a COI statement on my user page (I've been working for this company for the last 20 years and thought that it would be a good place to start!) and on the Discussion page of
Hyland Language Centre. Do you think the page is neutral enough? I've tried my best!
I'd like to try me hand at creating a Spanish version of this page before starting on others but do you think that this realy would be COI and I should wait to see if someone else creates it?
Many thanks

Hello, thanks for moving the page. However, there seem to be multiple "John Norris" politicians in the British Parliament, so it may be out of place to move it to this pagename. Your thoughts?-- ForgottenHistory ( talk) 15:50, 24 December 2010 (UTC)

Please, help me to improve my post about Mahmoud Saeed. I want to add a Russian translation and link it to existing English and Arabic versions and then expand the article. But I don't know how. That's my first time adding information on Wikipedia. Thank you.
Thanks for removing that tag, maybe you want to help me make this article notable enough! -- Vinie007 17:08, 26 December 2010 (UTC)
I contested your speedy as the article seemed to make some claims to importance, and added an independent source. Not convinced it meets WP:ORG (I might not contest a PROD), but it does just enough to beat the A7 requirement. Alzarian16 ( talk) 19:29, 26 December 2010 (UTC)
I added a source to the Toby_Proctor. article. Please don't delete it. Neptunekh2 ( talk) 05:25, 27 December 2010 (UTC)

1. First of all, I think Larry_King should go under the category: [Category:American_people_of_Belarusian-Jewish_descent] because it says in the article that his parents emigrated from Belarus and they were Jewish. Also I think Peter_Douglas and Eric_Douglas should go under that category as since their father Kirk_Douglas is listed under that category as well. 2. I think it should be noted in the Alexandra_Powers article that her mother is Katharyn_Powers and was a writer for variety of TV series. This article says they are related: http://www.museumstuff.com/learn/topics/Katharyn_Powers Also I think in the Katharyn_Powers article these links should be added: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0584251/ http://memory-alpha.org/wiki/Katharyn_Powers http://www.moviefone.com/celebrity/katharyn-powers/2035049/main http://stargate.wikia.com/wiki/Katharyn_Powers In the Alexandra Powers article I created I found a website that says she is in Scientology. Here's the website: http://www.truthaboutscientology.com/stats/by-name/a/alexandra-powers.html Should this be used as a reference in the article? Please let me know. Neptunekh2 ( talk) 06:55, 27 December 2010 (UTC)
I procedurally removed the PROD you placed on this article because it had been so nominated before. Instead I have listed it at AfD. I42 ( talk) 16:57, 27 December 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) 17:16, 28 December 2010 (UTC)
Hey there, Jsfouche. Just FYI, I closed the CfD nomination on Underground rapid transit as "put it all back" because of the out-of-process removal of the categories. If you're not familiar with how CfD works, we don't remove category contents until the nomination is closed. In this case, I think your nomination would have passed had you not done that, so feel free to renominate. Thanks for helping clean up the category structure!-- Mike Selinker ( talk) 18:14, 28 December 2010 (UTC)

Excellent work! I have been waiting for someone to expand this. Sw2nd ( talk) 21:34, 2 January 2011 (UTC)
Try in the infobox, like SP metro. Change the size until it looks good. I have changed the CPTM style to be black and grey, which should look corporate when combined with the red symbol.

Hi Jsfouche, somehow your vector page User:Jsfouche/vector.js is being included in Category:Wikipedia articles needing translation, if possible can you sort it please? Thanks-- Jac16888 Talk 21:12, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
Thank you first for the Barnstar - I don't usually wear my medals in public. Thank you for the work you've done on São Paulo transportation. I will leave that to you now, but if you need help with anything - just let me know. I was working on Rotterdam Metro stations, and they need to be completed. I will then boldly seek out another system, like Captain Kirk. One final note about the templates you have created for the lines, which mimic an Infobox with the inclusion of a route diagram. What you should have done is use the real Template:Infobox rail line and insert your line template, edited to only include the route, under the parameter {{{map}}}. The full details of line extension dates should be included in the body of the article as either a paragraph of text or a table. See Blue Line (Sacramento RT) or Sviatoshynsko-Brovarska Line for similar examples. Thanks again. Sw2nd ( talk) 00:25, 7 January 2011 (UTC)
Hi Jsfouche, sorry for getting back so late about this. The article describes what a flight nurse does, so I personally think keeping it at its current name is fine; also, Elen of the Roads provided a few examples of pages that had the same way of naming as the above page. Do you have examples of pages that are named with "-ing"? I'd be more than happy to move it for the reason you gave if it's for consistency purposes. Airplaneman ✈ 01:39, 8 January 2011 (UTC)
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Brooklin-Campo Belo (São Paulo Metro), and it appears to be a substantial copy of http://www.mclimoveis.com.br/english/stelatto.php.
It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

Jsfouche,
Please be kind enough to explain why you so speedily deleted the most recent page I have created entitled "Carmen Harra." I understand my previous attempts at creating this article have been rightfully deleted, but I fail to understand the reason for deletion of my most recent attempt. I have sent the consent of Carmen Harra herself to use material directly from her website to Wikipedia, I have added several references outside of her website, and she IS a notable person worthy of having a Wikipedia page. She has written six books, has made countless TV appearances, and has been featured in many major publications, so why would this topic not be acceptable criteria to Wikipedia? I have not added any personal opinion regarding Carmen Harra and the article is not biased in nature. So, again, why the incredibly quick deletion? You claim to be a brother of this Earth, and that you are ashamed of how we mistreat our Mother Earth. I can therefore assume that you endorse peace, unity, and kindness. If this is the case, are you aware that two of Carmen Harra's most recent books, The Eleven Eternal Princples and Wholelines, speak of only these principles which are so dear to you? You of all other administrators should understand that she is a notable person worthy of her own Wikipedia space. Before I even had the chance to add any new references to the article in order to improve it, it was completely removed. I am literally hurt by the inconsiderate manner in which you have approached the immediate deletion of this article which I have slaved over for hours. You have hurt a fellow human of this Earth.

Please do not add File:Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.png to the infobox of various stations as you did here. First, the non-free image being iconicized like that would never be acceptable under WP:NFCC, and second all the uses failed WP:NFCC #10c for lacking a rationale for that use.
