[edit] Who is the IP?
It seems to be someone who is tagging other users as sockpuppets. Bearian (talk) 23:16, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Constitution of Belarus
Constitution of Belarus has been nominated for a featured article review. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks. Please leave your comments and help us to return the article to featured quality. If concerns are not addressed during the review period, articles are moved onto the Featured Article Removal Candidates list for a further period, where editors may declare "Keep" or "Remove" the article from featured status. The instructions for the review process are here. Reviewers' concerns are here. ProhibitOnions (T) 10:33, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Suspected Vandalism
No, you were absolutely correct. Thanks for the assist. +1 for my vandal count. Tnxman307 (talk) 12:45, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] {{unref}}
I changed it to {{refimprove}}, that is what I generally do in such cases. Thanks for finding the references! (Another common replacement is {{primarysources}} if you plan on tackling more.) It's likely to languish there for a while, but I try to focus on that fact that it at least now has some leads towards further referencing. You will get overwhelmed if you worry about too much. The key is either to focus on making one article at a time as good as possible, like FA writers. Or else to make a small but significant change to many articles. Or clearing out a maintenance category of clutter so the appropriate articles can receive attention (this step was already done for June 06)--BirgitteSB 22:54, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] AWB
Your application to use AWB has been approved. Please take care as you are getting used to it as it is a powerful tool and can cause serious problems if used incorrectly. Good luck with it. Spartaz Humbug! 10:11, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Thanks
for this revert. Wonder how I got on the IP's radar! TRAVELLINGCARIMy storyTell me yours 04:08, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
- You're welcome, it is a bit strange- they've only ever edited your user page. ascidian | talk-to-me 04:23, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
- and half the IP vandals I get tend to leave a hint as to the article they're pissed off about (if I speedied or some such) but this one doesn't ring any bells. I guess I'm just that special ;) TRAVELLINGCARIMy storyTell me yours 04:45, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Re: Expert help needed
I'm afraid that I can't be of much direct help to you as I don't know anything about those particular topics or know of any good references. In general, however, if you've got a source which provides a different name for something than the name of the Wikipedia article and can't confirm the current name you'd be fully justified in moving the article to the name which matches your reference. This is especially the case for institutions in non-English speaking countries as the name may have been wrongly translated or an incorrect translation used. User:Cla68 may be worth contacting as he specialises in the WW2 Pacific Theatre. --Nick Dowling (talk) 11:07, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
- I'm no expert, but it looks like you identified correct sources. I also responded at the Japan MilHist page. Cla68 (talk) 12:39, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] 399 to go
We are almost done, Category:Articles lacking sources from June 2006 is down to less the 400 articles to find references for. I would like to thank you for listing yourself as a volunteer at Wikipedia:Unreferenced articles and would like to take this opportunity to invite you to visit the project again and work on getting the last few articles referenced. We started with 5,572 and we are in the home stretch, please come and try to do a couple a day and we can finish it up in no time. Jeepday (talk) 02:26, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] New Focus at Wikipedia:Unreferenced articles

The Invisible Barnstar | |
| Thank you for your continued work and assistance on Wikipedia:Unreferenced articles, referencing and generally cleaning up articles that have needed attention for a long time. Your good work goes unseen unless someone disagrees ;) Jeepday (talk) 12:06, 28 May 2008 (UTC) |
The huge set of unreferenced articles from June of 2006 is finally completed. Thank you for your contributions. The new focus at Wikipedia:Unreferenced articles is Category:Articles lacking sources from July 2006 which as of May 28 is only 1,322 articles and should go much quicker. Thank you to everyone who has contributed and listed themselves as a volunteer. Jeepday (talk) 12:06, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
