September 2012 backlog elimination drive wrap-up
Participation: Out of 41 people who signed up this drive, 28 copy-edited at least one article. Thanks to all who participated! Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here. Progress report: We achieved our primary goal of clearing July, August, September and October 2011 from the backlog. This means that, for the first time since the drives began, the backlog is less than a year. At least 677 tagged articles were copy edited, although 365 new ones were added during the month. The total backlog at the end of the month was 2341 articles, down from 8323 when we started out over two years ago. We completed all 54 requests outstanding before September 2012 as well as eight of those made in September. Copy Edit of the Month: Voting is now over for the August 2012 competition, and prizes will be issued soon. The September 2012 contest is closed for submissions and open for voting. The October 2012 contest is now open for submissions. Everyone is welcome to submit entries and to vote. – Your drive coordinators: Stfg, Allens, and Torchiest.

Hi, could you please provide a copy of deleted article California Chess Congress of 1858 to me? You deleted it after an AFD, back in 2008. I am working to restore some other work by the main contributor there, and I think this article could likely be salvaged. -- do ncr am 14:36, 5 October 2012 (UTC)
Hi Keilana, please could you send me a copy of the deleted article Association of Graduate Recruiters, which was deleted in 2008. I would like to review and amend this content for publication. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by EmmGodd ( talk • contribs) 08:34, 8 October 2012 (UTC)

Hi Keilana. I'm in Lisa Lu's Brain & Behavior class at Roosevelt University, and I am not receiving email notifications of changes to the articles on my watch list. I'm checking the list regularly, so I am finding the changes. It would be nice, though, to be notified. Do you have any idea what I can do to rectify this situation? Thanks! FutureSocialNeuroscientist ( talk) 01:37, 10 October 2012 (UTC)
Hello! Im part of Dr. Lu's neuroscience course. I have a question for you. How do I go about citing references a few times in the article? For example, I want to cite 1 and 2 a few times in my paragraph but instead of 1 and 2 appearing again it is now 3 and 4 instead of 1 and 2. And all my other references are counting up instead of correlating to the actual reference I need. thanks R.EEGbrittry ( talk) 21:18, 16 October 2012 (UTC)

Hi Keilana, I'm presenting you with the Ada Lovelace Award for creating the Ann Bishop (biologist) article during the Ada Lovelace Day editathon. Your contributions are much appreciated. Cheers, Gobōnobō + c 15:04, 21 October 2012 (UTC) |
On 23 October 2012, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Ann Bishop (biologist), which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that Ann Bishop, an early female protozoologist, studied treatments for parasitic diseases including amoebic dysentery and malaria? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Ann Bishop (biologist). You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000.

Please see User talk:SarahStierch#Adoption and provide assistance. Any other stalkers are invited. Your adoptee, User talk:RAIDENRULES123, is insisting on adopting other "fresh from the incubator" new users. Considering assorted factors it can only lead to the detriment of the New Users she adopts. What can be done? This issue deals directly with Editor Retention and how New Editors should be protected from factors they know nothing about. They dont know but they are being fed poisoned food. That may be extreme but only to express my alarm and fear. The new users this editor adopts are, without a doubt, in harms way. I have left a similar message @ Ryan Vessey and Dennis Brown's Talk page. I assume good faith on the part of Deidra. I also assume poor judgement.``` Buster Seven Talk 05:52, 28 October 2012 (UTC)

Hi Keilana; how are you? I saw your name at the SPI area as a Clerk. Would you be kind enough to help me to open a sockpuppetry investigation? It is about redlink users Findblogging and IsrArmen. Their "contributions" speak for themselves; for me a very obvious case of sockpuppetry. As the first user is older here, we should suppose it is the master and the latter is the sockpuppet. (Although I suspect both accounts belong to a third user, I will not go that far for the moment. Sometimes killing the mosquitos instead of drying the swamp has the same effect as cutting the arms of a monster.) You can see an evaluation by DeltaQuad here. Please do not try to teach me how to fish, because I cannot learn (others tried in vain :-).(Before contacting you and even before contacting Delta I tried to open an SPI case by myself without any success. In a similar case, before, another user opened a case "in my name" stating this at the application. I believe and hope you may kindly do the same. As justification of the case please write: "Same articles, same interests, similar POV, similar style and same grammar mistakes, acting simultaneously on the same issues, especially lately, since IsrArmen was signed up". Thank you very much in advance and with my best wishes. Cordially. -- E4024 ( talk) 20:43, 1 November 2012 (UTC)

Hi. Been browsing and its irritating to find so many one liners and when I google the name nothing in google books, just a few database. I was thinking of making a proposal to merge many of these articles on stars and asteroids and minor planets into lists. What do you think?♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld 20:37, 5 November 2012 (UTC)
9 Andromedae, 9 Aquarii etc... Couldn't a list better provide the info, unless of course it can be fully expanded? I'd guess that for most the information known about them specifically is sparse, or at least redirect to a list before a fuller article can be written? I'm not disputing notability of course, I'd have a decent article on anything out there! But I think there are an awful lot of database type stubs which would be better put into a tabled list for the time being..♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld 21:42, 5 November 2012 (UTC)
Yes, I'm definitely interested in WP Women Scientists; I've signed myself up. I've been doing a bunch of editing in Biophysics-related biographies in general - even the men's pages are often missing or minimal, but of course it's always even more of a problem for the women's ones.
I've been adding both female entries and pictures to the List of biophysicists, and recently was disappointed that the photo of Rosalind Franklin was deleted for license issues. The photo was granted an exception for use on her own page - does or does not that allow us to use it in the list, where I also feel it's important because she's really iconic in this field? Thanks for any help or advice you have on that.
Might you perhaps be coming to the Biophysical Society meeting in Philadelphia this Feb? We'll have a meet-up for the WikiProject there, and are announcing a contest with buttons & barnstars and free membership & registration for the 2014 meeting in San Francisco.

Turns out that for the set of us going up to the Philadelphia meeting, our grad student Lindsay would be delighted to share her room with you. I've also requested that the society cover your air fare from Chicago and your registration, which I expect they will agree to. We'll be there from Sat morning (2/2/2013) thru Wed afternoon, but if you can't be away that long you could come Sat night and leave Tues night. Sunday is the session for undergrads, where they'd love to have you, and Tues afternoon is the WikiProject Biophysics session. In between, there are all sorts of great talks. You might want to stay for the National Lecture Tues evening, which is by Karolin Luger, who solved the first structure of a nucleosome and is a great speaker and an outstanding woman scientist!

I got involved with FAs because I wanted to score points in the WikiCup. Bivalvia was my first effort and you were very helpful at the GA sage. To take an article to FAC takes a great deal of time and effort and for it to fail there because few people have become involved with reviewing it would be disappointing.
I was going to suggest that I reviewed Ann Bishop (biologist) but I see you already have all the support you are likely to need there. Would you be able to take a look at Amphibian for me? I have been trying my hand at contributing to reviews and can reciprocate the next time you have a candidate. I guess there is an inverse relationship between the length of an article and the willingness of people to get involved with reviewing it. Cwmhiraeth ( talk) 10:24, 28 November 2012 (UTC)

Hi Keilana, i just started to edit/create in Wikipedia. I submitted a new (my first) article earlier today (Mary L Foster, Biochemist 1865-1960), a copy is in my sandbox,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Slventura/sandbox There's still work needed on it, but I'm interested to see the complete publishing process thru and learn with this first one. If you have any tips for a newbie that'd be great.
I'm also testing Wikipedia Mobile on IOS and hope to do some editing/contribution over the holidays. I'm particularly interested in supporting the WikiWomen Scientist Project, is there an broader WikiWomen effort to promote work by women past and present, whether it's their work in science, humanities, arts, politics ...

Thanks very much for starting up a page for Karolin Luger! I've added a nucleosome picture and a journal ref. You might email her to let her know, and ask if she has an open-license photo of herself. Dcrjsr ( talk) 21:26, 26 December 2012 (UTC)
On 29 December 2012, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article The 1975, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that The 1975 became popular because of Sex? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/The 1975. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

Sorry for asking now in case your busy but I'm ready for the next lesson on our adoption page. I haven't been there in awhile so maybe you posted something but I'm going to make some ajustments. RaidenRules! ( talk) 00:16, 30 December 2012 (UTC)
Just as a heads up, you adopted user Diedra C has been adding material copied verbatim from the source. I've contacted her, but thought you should be made aware as well. -- Daniel (talk) 18:14, 30 December 2012 (UTC)
Hi there; you're receiving this message because you have previously shown interest in the WikiCup. This is just to remind you that the 2013 WikiCup will be starting on 1 January, and that signups will remain open throughout January. Old and new Wikipedians and WikiCup participants are warmly invited to take part in this year's competition. (Though, as a note to the more experienced participants, there have been a few small rules changes in the last few months.) If you have already signed up, let this be a reminder; you will receive a message with your submissions' page soon. Please direct any questions to the WikiCup talk page. Thanks!

Hello Keilana, and welcome to the 2013 WikiCup! Your submissions' page is here. The competition begins at midnight UTC. The first round will last until the end of February, at which point the top 64 scorers will advance to the second round. We will be in touch at the end of every month, and signups are going to remain open until the end of January; if you know of anyone else who may like to take part, please let them know! A few reminders: *The rules can be found here. There have been a few changes from last year, which are listed on that page. *Anything you submit must have been nominated and promoted in 2013, and you need to have completed significant work upon it in 2013. (The articles you review at good article reviews does not need to have been nominated in 2013, but you do need to have started the review in 2013.) We will be checking. *If you feel that another competitor is breaking the rules or abusing the competition in some way, please let a judge know. Please do not remove entries from the submissions' pages of others yourself. *Don't worry about calculating precisely how many points everything is worth. The bot will do that. The bot may occasionally get something wrong- let a judge know, or post on the WikiCup talk page if that happens. *Please try to be prompt in updating submissions' pages so that they can be double-checked. Overall, however, don't worry, and have fun. It doesn't matter if you make the odd mistake; these things happen. Questions can be asked on the WikiCup talk page. Good luck!

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Karolin Luger, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Swiss Federal Institute of Technology ( 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.
