[edit] Dreamafter

Do you believe the rubbish about another person in his family? And what happens to him? ṜέđṃάяķvюĨїήīṣŢ Drop me a line§ 06:08, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

Well, you've made a convincing case, and I doubt that the guy isn't a sock. However, I'd rather abstain from passing any further judgment (I've noted that the excat IP is the same and those two are the only ones on it) because I did accuse Dreamy of pointstacking on WP:MHCON because he was writing 2k long articles and rating them all as B - he wrote about 15-20 2k long articles in one month, rated them all B and collected about 95 points. So I'd rather not drop a hammer on him lest it look like a vengeance block. But I don't think the block would make any difference on Dreamafter except to stop him from contributing and he hasn't socked since then. But I'm sure it will be brought up by someone whenever Dreamafter makes his next RfA or MILHIST coord run. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 06:29, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Re:Coaching

Sorry for taking so long to respond. You've made a few blunders lately that RfA "regulars" will pounce on; you need to think more carefully about your decisions. Find five AfDs that interest you and make a convincing argument in each. Then report back here with links to the AfDs; I'll see how it turns out. 21:12, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] A-Class review: Battle of Appomattox Station

As requested, I've fixed the broken ref, and also converted the long form cites into short form ones.

This review is due to be closed today but under the new rules you can ask for an extension of up to three days to fix ongoing issues. Would this help? If so, please request it on the review page.

--ROGER DAVIES talk 06:09, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

The same probably applies to the Basttle of Marion review. --ROGER DAVIES talk 12:06, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] re: More time

I have no objections but you'd better ask Eurocopter as he was the closing coordinator. It's fiddly at this stage but not impossible :) --ROGER DAVIES talk 15:10, 8 May 2008 (UTC)


[edit] Help

Hi, can you help me? I have recently made a page entitled 40K Radio, and 3 minutes after I made it it was deleted. I put a hangon template, and made a argument to keep it, however an admin, immediatly deleted it. Thanks for your helpCaptain0loken (talk) 20:26, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

No problem. Create the page as you had it on User:Captain0loken/Sandbox and I'll help you out with it. Cheers, ṜέđṃάяķvюĨїήīṣŢ Drop me a lineReview Me! 14:41, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi. You signed up to complete this list at the WP:AWC. The list has been moved to article space because it is fleshed out enough to be useful to readers. But it is still not completed yet.

[edit] adoption / virtual classroom

hi,

I'm back from a 2 week unforseen break, and made some additions. Is this what you meant? Looking forward to hearing from you after May 23, and good luck with your exams.  — Xiutwel ♫☺♥♪ (speech has the power to bind the absolute) 17:01, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Some notes

I'd recommend you delete the "insults" section on your page - WP:DENY. Also, have you been doing the AfD assignment I gave you? Nousernamesleftcopper, not wood 22:43, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

I'm on Wikibreak until May 23, due to finals. I'll be back then. I got rid of the insults, however. ṜέđṃάяķvюĨїήīṣŢ Drop me a lineReview Me! 01:30, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Charles Meshack

Hi. Since you contested the PROD on this article, I thought I'd let you know that it is now up for AfD in case you're interested in contributing to that discussion. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 03:21, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Milhist T&A 08: a reminder

This is just a reminder that you promised to revisit the ranges you did for Tag & Assess 2008 and fix the outstanding problems, mostly not adding task forces. It is crucial that these are added, where appropriate, to each article as this is the main objective of the drive. The worklists you signed up for are:

  1. 1401–1600
  2. 7201–7400
  3. 8401–8600
  4. 8801–9000
  5. 9001–9200
  6. 9601–9800
  7. 9801–10000
  8. 19201–19400
  9. 19401–19600

A quick look at the ranges suggests that barely 10% of the articles have been tagged. This includes the articles that Woody and I worked on for you as part of quality control. Here are some random examples from ranges you signed off as completed:

Re: 7201–7400
Re: 8401–8600
  • Chunk of castle-related articles are without TFs. (Fortifications=y and [country]=y, plus what ever period is appropriate).
  • Castilian Civil War wasn't tagged for the Spanish TF. I fixed it.
  • Castel Nuovo wasn't tagged for TFs at all (Fortifications=y|Italian=y|Middle-Ages=y) - I fixed it.
Re: 9601–9800
  • Large number of articles about people called Eric ... Erich ... Ernest ... and Ernst .... mostly not tagged for biography=y

Also, I cannot reconcile the nine ranges above, which makes 1800 articles maximum, with the 2000 articles you've claimed in your tally. For fairness to other participants, in this case, any eventual awards will be based on the project coordinators' assessment of work done rather than the amount claimed. An accurate tally avoids disappointment later.

Once your exam pressures are out of the way, I hope that you will work through the ranges, fixing them up. As I mentioned before, no one doubts your enthusiasm but you need to take this more carefully and more slowly. Our best, most experienced, assessors take about 90-100 minutes to work methodically through a 200-article range: you have been doing them in about ten minutes each so it's not surprising that so much is missed.

[edit] 13th Airborne Division

Hi there! You've said on the GA Noms page that you reviewed 13th Airborne Division (United States) and placed it on Hold and left notes, but I can find no notes on the page, or that the article has been placed on Hold. Did you forget to do this? Skinny87 (talk) 15:53, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

Could you please reply here. Dreamafter (talk) 22:16, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

I am disappointed. When I recused myself from dealing with Hashmi, Usman (talk · contribs) I thought that you guys would handle it correctly. But, because you marked it:
Resolved.
> Admins who patrol the Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard ignored it until the auto-bot archived it for lack of edits in a time period. But this information was ignored because the case was marked resolved.
But, if you look at this: Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/IncidentArchive420#SockPuppet, you will see that he was a banned user in the past. And that he is a banned sock puppet also editing under the IP addresses listed here: Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/IncidentArchive420#Partial_IP_List. This user is a banned sockpuppeteer and most people ignored/didn't look.
I would like to ask you to take a case to Wikipedia:Suspected_sock_puppets and get this account blocked. Sincerely, disappointed contributor. IP4240207xx (talk) 19:26, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

I don't think you and I are a good fit. Plus, you haven't replied to my message in over a week. Thanks for the offer, however. :) ImpIn | (t - c) 01:30, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
I see below that you got grounded. In that case, I'll give you a break, although I don't know if I really need an adoptee. ImpIn | (t - c) 01:56, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] An Lushan : failled GA

Hello, I recently made a dozens of edits on An Lushan page, to improve the readability of this article. But it seems that my edits had an influence on the ongoing GA review. I explain : I'm French (-> unperfect English -> unperfect section's title), not familiar with English-Wikipedia usages (-> used bold for subtitles).

I can change the bold into === Subtitle ===, but I can do myself the copyedit need after my edits.

Regards, 220.135.4.212 (talk) 17:23, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

I made several changes (intro expanded, links in ref improved, bold change into editable === Sub-section === ). Please correct your comment on the talk page accordingly.
The page, of course, still need a copyedit for my adds. 220.135.4.212 (talk) 17:55, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] back?

taking a short wikibreak to get ready for exams and will be back on Wikipedia once the exams are over on May 23, 2008.
