Obama wikiproject

[edit]

Welcome to the project. I guess we have enough folks now to make it official. Feel free to be bold and bring more definition to it. I mostly care about coverage of Obama energy / climate change issues. -J JMesserly (talk) 23:43, 3 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Hemlock Martinis. I notice that you are very much interested in topics related to the British Empire. I wish to nominate List of Governors of Bombay for FLC. Can you copyedit the prose of this list. Actually, there is hardly any prose since this is a List. Help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, KensplanetTC 11:41, 8 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Of course, I'd be happy to help you out! I did a surface glance just now and it looks like you've done a fantastic job on assembling the list. When I get a chance later tonight, I'll go through and give a more thorough inspection. Keep up the good work! --Hemlock Martinis (talk) 21:52, 9 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

History of the Han Dynasty

[edit]

Well, from my private sandbox, I recently created the History of the Han Dynasty and nominated it as a FAC, but it is taking a beating there since its "newness" apparently violates the criteria for stability. Other editors have suggested that it be peer-reviewed, so I put a history peer-review tag on its talk page. I was wondering, since you've enjoyed articles of mine in the past, if you would take a look and sort of "calm the waves", if you will.--Pericles of AthensTalk 12:02, 15 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Category:B-Class Lemony Snicket articles, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Category:B-Class Lemony Snicket articles has been empty for at least four days, and its only content has been links to parent categories. (CSD C1).

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Category:B-Class Lemony Snicket articles, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Nobody can dispute that you've done your part for king and country. I will read your "semi-retirement" as "a temporary lull so that I may regather my strength and then move on to another fantastic set of articles". I personally wish I was able to devote the time and effort to building some of my favorite articles, as you have for yours. Perhaps once this semester ends and summer begins, I'll be able to do the same.

Hello, I saw you listed as a peer review volunteer, and I thought you might be interested in giving Frenchification of Brussels a peer review. It details the process through which Brussels went from an all Dutch speaking city to a mostly French speaking city with a small Dutch minority, and the linguistic tensions associated with it.

Ancient Egyptian literature

[edit]

Hi old friend! How are you doing. We haven't spoken in a long time, but I'd like to share with you my latest project:

Well, I've created or worked on articles on non-Chinese things/persons/places/ideas in the past, most notably my featured articles Augustus, Giovanni Villani, Tibet during the Ming Dynasty, and Choe Bu. I became interested in Ancient Egyptian literature simply after reading some interesting things about Egypt online and noticing that English Wiki's page for Ancient Egyptian literature was in poor shape compared to the FA article Ancient Egypt. I don't think I'll be doing any more ancient Egyptian articles any time soon, and will stick to China. However, this was a fun project which incidentally I've learned an incredible amount from while pursuing! I feel confident that I have strengthened my knowledge of global history that much more by diving into ancient Egypt's language, writing, literature, sociopolitical order, and culture. You should try it sometime (lol); learning about multiple civilizations will certainly give you a greater perspective, especially the one you might be most interested in (which for me is the Chinese sphere of things).

British Currency in the Middle East

[edit]

Regarding your change of the title of this article, I'm not going to revert it, but I'd appreciate it if you would consider some points. The topic in question is a matter of history. I filed it under both history and numismatics. Also, I've linked this article to many other articles. Will the change automatically be transmitted, or will I now have to change all the individual links again? My inclination would be to change it back again, but I'll leave the decision to yourself. The article is one of a few branch articles that I intend to write for an eventual master summary article entitled 'The History of Currency in the British Empire'.

Request for Participation in Wikipedia Research

[edit]

Hemlock Martinis,

Your Request for Adminship (RfA) process was reviewed and studied by our research team at Carnegie Mellon University early in our project to gain insights into the process. We reviewed what voters discussed about your case, and what qualifications you brought to the table as a candidate. In total 50 cases were personally read and reviewed, and we based our further research questions in part on your case.

In continuing our research, I would like to personally invite you to participate in a survey we are conducting to get perspective from people who have participate in the RfA process. The survey will only take a few minutes of your time, and will aid furthering our understanding of online communities, and may assist in the development of tools to assist voters in making RfA evaluations. We are NOT attempting to spam anyone with this survey and are doing our best to be considerate and not instrusive in the Wikipedia community. The results of this survey are for academic research and are not used for any profit nor sold to any companies. We will also post our results back to the Wikipedia community.

This survey is part of an ongoing research project by students and faculty at the Carnegie Mellon University School of Computer Science and headed by Professor Robert Kraut.


Take the survey


Thank you!

If you have any questions or concerns, feel free comment on my talk page.

I normally wouldn't comment, as there are plenty of people who ignore/have no knowledge of our non-free content criteria, but to see an administrator supporting the retention of this image is somewhat alarming. The image fails at least three of our non-free content criteria- it is replaceable, it is of a high commercial value and it lacked any attempt at a rationale. I'd also quite happily argue against it on NFCC#8 grounds. I've deleted the image, as the high-profile article (and the nature of the image) suggests fast action is appropriate, and I advise you familiarise yourself with our non-free content policies and guidelines before working in that area again.
