Lady Aleena/Archive 7 : You've received this message as you are listed as a WikiProject HorrorParticipant. As you may have noticed, WikiProject Horror has suffered from a lack of direction and coordination of late. A suggestion on how to improve the Project and maintain it as a viable resource has been placed up for discussion here. As a member of the Project, your voice is valued and your input is requested. Thank you, hornoir(talk)23:22, 9 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
As a member of WikiProject Films, you are invited to take part in the project's first questionnaire. It is intended to gauge your participation and views on the project. At the conclusion of the questionnaire, the project's coordinators will use the gathered feedback to find new ways to improve the project and reach out to potential members. The results of the questionnaire will be published in next month's newsletter. If you know of any editors who have edited film articles in the past, please invite them to take part in the questionnaire. Please stop by and take a few minutes to answer the questions so that we can continue to improve our project. Happy editing!

WikiProject Horror has been under reconstruction for the past month, in hopes to re-invigorate participant activity and re-activate the Collaboration of the Month department. Please take a look at the project’s redesign and post any suggestions to the new Notice Board.
Spearheading this reconstruction movement has been interim coordinator Hornoir, with assistance from Bignole. An official election for Project Coordinator and Assistant Coordinator positions will be held in the coming weeks. Any active member of the project will be able to nominate for and/or vote on the positions. Please watch the coordinator’s page for developments.
WikiProject Horror currently has over 2600 articles within its scope; unfortunately, 2200 remain at Start-Class or below. Please help bring some of these articles up to (at least) B-Class. An article does not have to be the current Collaboration of the Month to gain assistance from dedicated editors like you.
Nemesis, an article on the fictional character from the Resident Evil series of games, was promoted to Good Article-Class in January.
A Friday the 13th WikiProject has been proposed and while the over-ridding consensus at the moment is that the scope is too small for a WikiProject proper, the proposal bears consideration as a possible task force for our project. Please comment on the proposal with your own thoughts on the matter.
A Halloween task force has been proposed at the WikiProject Council. Please comment on the proposal with your support and/or thoughts on the matter.
Don't add unmade films with release dates of three years time, as you did with Spiderman, nor move series which have a clear numbering pattern, as you did with Star Wars. There are six Star Wars films, the Ewok adventures and Clone Wars are not part of the series. Darrenhusted (talk) 09:13, 19 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I did NOT add the Spider-Man sequels, someone else did. I saw Spider-Man on three lists, so I just pared it down to the one with the most. If the person who added it to whichever list it was is in error, then go ahead and correct it. As far as I can tell, the Star Wars films "share a common diegetic world," ergo they are all part of the same series. LA (T) @ 13:18, 19 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Nominations for the Coordinator positions are now open. The nomination process will run throughout March, with voting running throughout April. Any member of Project is welcome to nominate themselves for a Coordinator position.
The Project has a new Task Center, which allows any Project member to volunteer for as a Task Editor within the Project. Task Editor positions currently open include Project Promoter, Collaboration Coordinator, Peer Review Coordinator, New & Stub Article Monitor, and Article Monitor.
WikiProject Horror currently has over 3000 articles within its scope; unfortunately, 2600 remain at Start-Class or below. Please help bring some of these articles up to (at least) B-Class. An article does not have to be the current Collaboration of the Month to gain assistance from dedicated editors like you.

I'm sorry to hear that you've been unwell. I still don't believe that the Media franchises project is feasible or a pleasant prospect, as it seemed more interested in minting standards to be followed, rather than improving the quality of articles to help create a standard organically. Take care. :) --Malkinann (talk) 06:02, 4 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Hello. Thanks for the note. I'm wading through a mire of busy-ness at the moment (and have been for several months), so I've not been around anywhere as much as I'd have liked to have been. When possible, thoguh, I'd certainly like to help focus, debate or comment on your proposals, although I recall going into fairly extreme detail at the time, so I'm not sure what more I'd add now! That said, if you point me in the right direction at the right time and things align in a way that I notice, yes, I'll pitch in again. ntnon (talk) 20:53, 4 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
So have a flower too. It's not teleflorist and I wouldn't recommend smelling it (nose greese on the monitor is Sooooo unbecoming), but it's better than naught!
... and probably self-harmful. We all get that way or aren't really alive. Anyone that can devote all their time to this project has no RL. For my money, those are exactly the people we don't want here, for they lack perspective, and probably (usually I think) tolerance. In short they are too rigid and inflexible to make good partners in most any field of endeavor or activity.
(Context: I was hovering over an unfamiliar signature a moment ago, and the popup said it was yours... so I saw your user page lead para. Besides all that. Hi girl, you go!)
Frank...Thank you for stopping by and making me feel welcomed back into the family. I will be removing that soon, but I think that there may be a few people that still might not know that I am back. I really do appreciate this. LA (T) @ 18:28, 11 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
SWEEEeeeT! (I think I've just gone blind though) [blink, blink] A lot like skiing in a new fallen snow that pic is! // FrankB18:58, 11 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Can I ask what you were reading so that I can brush up on the subject? I would really like to know where you spotted me. And you are very welcome to the WikiSun. :) LA (T) @ 19:11, 11 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I think I was editing one of the {{Globalize}} templates (which people had left date= and talk section link capability out of like found in many maintenance templates... so I added such today), and perhaps saw your new sig ("LA" is much shorter than the old one I recall) on the main template's talk... some of the "/" templates and TFD/merge discussions too. Bottom line is it's not the page type you were thinking of. Not in a series, so no reading up to do I'm afraid. I've been very busy with my adoptee... the Orphaned Charmed series. You can comment on talk:List of Charmed episodes, since no one else has since I stepped in gradually. I may as well talk to a wall... or my kids. Same results. <g>
If you've got an admin status can use some help resurrecting screen shots. Browse down through season four—season six for obvious redlinks. I wouldn't mind a bit of feedback for how I'm handling shoehorning 23 articles into one list page per season. Be advised the places are papered with Inuse/Underconstruction warnings tags, and infoboxes that don't belong, etc. This is very much a construction site right now...
The notability Nazi's raped all 179 articles and rolled the whole coverage of episodes into List of Charmed episodes, which is imho, unconscionable nor defensible. They just tossed thousands of man-hours because of their agenda.
The worse part of that is there is no way incorporate sub-sections in the list pages so one can just focus on text in the summaries, synopses, etc. One has to edit the whole thing, table elements and infoboxes included. Sigh.
Anyhow, sorry can't be more helpful... whatever the discussion, it was brief. The other place I saw your sig was navigating off your page... and we would have been on opposite sides! <g> C'est le vie! // FrankB19:32, 11 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Aleena,
Sorry for not replying sooner. I rarely bother to log in for minor edits, so I didn't notice your message for some time. I don't really remember which discussion I participated in. There are several franchises I am interested in.
Most of my edits are in the form of minor corrections or additions, as my free time to actually do research is rather limited. If you have a specific page you want me to look at, I'll give it a try.

The next collaboration will be selected on April 30th, 2009. Please place suggestions for the next collaboration here and/or vote on current suggestions.
Hello! Not knowing whether this should be in your Userboxes talk page, or your Doctor Who one, I plonked it here. I was teaching my adoptee, when I noticed that the WP:AAU program had a little userbox detailing how many adoptees were waiting to be adopted. This put me in an imaginative mood, and I made two for WP:DW/A to check how many articles are in the Unassessed categories, and I just wanted to see what you thought. Here they are:
I would suggest adding an #if statement when the categories are empty.
{{#if:{{PAGESINCATEGORY:Unassessed Doctor Who articles}}=0|All Doctor Who articles have been given a class assessment! Good job!|<the message about articles needing assessment>}}.
{{#if:{{PAGESINCATEGORY:Unknown-importance Doctor Who articles}}=0|All Doctor Who articles have been given an importance assessment! Good job!|<the message about articles needing assessment>}}.
{{#if:{{PAGESINCATEGORY:Unassessed Doctor Who articles}}=0 and {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Unknown-importance Doctor Who articles}}=0
|All Doctor Who articles have been assessed. Good job!
|There are
{{#if:{{PAGESINCATEGORY:Unassessed Doctor Who articles}}>0|{{PAGESINCATEGORY:Unassessed Doctor Who articles}} article{{#if:{{PAGESINCATEGORY:Unassessed Doctor Who articles}}=1||s}} that need{{#if:{{PAGESINCATEGORY:Unassessed Doctor Who articles}}=1|s|}} to be assessed for quality}}{{#if:{{PAGESINCATEGORY:Unassessed Doctor Who articles}}>0 and {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Unknown-importance Doctor Who articles}}>0| and }}{{#if:{{PAGESINCATEGORY:Unknown-importance Doctor Who articles}}>0|{{PAGESINCATEGORY:Unknown-importance Doctor Who articles}} article{{#if:{{PAGESINCATEGORY:Unknown-importance Doctor Who articles}}=1||s}} that need{{#if:{{PAGESINCATEGORY:Unknown-importance Doctor Who articles}}=1|s|}} to be assessed for importance}}

It is a big long and drawn out, but hey, one box is easier to maintain. The above needs to be tested, so let me know if it flops. LA (T) @ 09:55, 21 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
The 'if-ing' isn't working. I put my sandbox in the Class category, and the number of articles in the category shows as 1, but the box (the one on the left, above) says that there arn't any articles in the category. I've tried purging it, as well as the pages that use it, but to no avail. Hmm - weebiloobil (talk) 15:18, 21 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
The 7th DC Meetup dinner will be held this Saturday, June 6th, starting at 5 p.m. The event will be at Bertucci's, near George Washington University and the Foggy Bottom metro station. It will follow the Apps for Democracy open source event at GWU. For details or to RSVP if you haven't already, see Wikipedia:Meetup/DC 7. (You have received this announcement because your user page indicates that you live in Maryland, Virginia, or DC.)

I have nominated Other characters of Xanth, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Other characters of Xanth. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.
The Wikimedia Foundation will be conducting an all-day Academy at the National Institutes of Health, in Bethesda, Maryland, on Thursday, July 16. The team that will be teaching at the Academy, a mix of paid staff and volunteers, is looking for four more volunteers to be teaching assistants, providing one-to-one assistance in workshops whenever a workshop participant has a problem following the instructional directions. (We currently have two editors signed up as teaching assistants, and are looking for a total of six.)
The NIH editing workshops are only for two hours, but volunteers are asked to meet the Wikimedia Foundation team at the hotel in Bethesda at about 7:15 a.m. (time to be finalized shortly) and to stay for the entire day, which ends at 4:30 p.m. Lunch will be provided. (The full schedule can be found here.)
The team is not necessarily looking for expert editors (though they are welcome), just people who can help novices who might get stuck when trying to do some basic things. If you've been an editor for at least 3 months, and have done at least 500 edits, you probably qualify.
If you're interested, please send John Broughton an email. If you might be interested, but would like further information, please post a note on his user talk page, so that he can respond there, and others can see what was asked.
Hello, Lady Aleena. You have new messages at A Nobody's talk page. You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.
WOW! I am so happy to receive this. I haven't edited for a while, and I am still remembered! You have made my day. I hope you have a good one... LA (T) @ 17:40, 16 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Hiya. Thanks for helping out with spotlight. Your name isn't on the 'spam-list' on that page, so I haven't sent you the newsletter; but I just wanted to let you know a couple of things. Following over 500 edits from the spotlight project, Marco Polo has attained good article status. We've now started on the next article, Marco Polo sheep. Please join the IRC channel some time (quick link), or add your name to the Participants list at WP:SPOT. Cheers, --— DeontalkI'm BACK!03:37, 16 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, I'm not the creator; I just spotted the list, added an entry, later deleted it (I wanted to add it to AFD), and tried to add it to AFD. Unfortunately, I ended up too confused about the process there, so thanks. Vltava6808:46, 28 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I included you since you were an editor, that's all. I didn't know what your level of participation would be if the list were prod'ed. It's just one of those things. LA (T) @ 08:48, 28 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I just discovered that you're not an admin, after months of thinking you were. Have you ever considered running for adminship again? I'd be happy to nominate you. –Juliancolton | Talk06:16, 30 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Please thoroughly read my two previous RfAs (first and second) and also see this discussion before you nominate me. I am not one for RfA coaching, and I have not really changed my mind about how long my answers should be. I have also had a very spotty record when it comes to coming and going. I am still just getting back into the swing of things from my last longish absence. If after considering all of that, you still want to nominate me, then I will not stand in your way and would more than likely accept the nomination. If you have any concerns you wish to query me about, just ask here. I have no problem discussing any negative issues that could stand in the way of a successful nomination. I wouldn't want to hurt a perfect record of successful nominations. LA (T) @ 06:25, 30 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for coming to my talk page to ask about this. I have reviewed everything I said in the discussion last year and I stand by what I said. The Oxford and Cambridge folks were not very kind to you then. I am in two minds about this project. First, in favour, is that it does simplify matters and it fills in the gaps for colleges that do not have user boxes. Second, against, there does not seem to be much support. The major problem is the terminology which requires active participation from people who know what they are talking about. For example some colleges use the term "old member" or just "member", when other use "former member". This needs to be got right or people will get upset. Then we need an accurate list of college abbreviations, such as "Qu" for my own college, the Queen's College, Oxford. If you want to start this project again, I strongly suggest that you remove all reference to "Oxbridge". Create two sub-pages in your area, "/User Oxford" and "/User Cambridge". Then make sure there is no mention of Oxbridge. If there is a demand for such a general userbox, it can be created later and separately. Then find a list of abbreviations. Then look at who uses the current useboxes and ask them to come on over and check out what you have, correcting nomenclature etc. How does that sound. I might help later, but next week Wikimedia Australia has a conference and as Treasurer I will be there. That is taking up time. --Bduke(Discussion)08:34, 30 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, Lady Aleena. You have new messages at Seraphim's talk page. You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.
Thank you so very much for the pretty star. As you can see, I moved it to my awards cabinet. Is there anything else you would like me to do to your user page? LA (T) @ 02:28, 7 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, I was looking at the departments at WikiProject Films, and the "Films based on books" department seems largely defunct. I'm considering starting discussion to archive this department (although I think another coordinator, Collectonian, is interested in a resurgence). Before I take any kind of action, I was wondering what you thought could or should be done? —Erik (talk • contrib) 18:26, 12 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
It only works on User talk pages, everywhere else it gives a simpler signature. {{Talkback}} is only supposed to be used in User talk space anyway. Also, it only works on OTHER user talk pages, not your own. :) LA (T) @ 23:56, 16 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
PS. I am overhauling my computer system here at home, and it may take a while. If anyone else asks about this, send them here to take a look-see. I will work on templating it out after my computer system overhaul is complete. LA (T) @ 00:01, 17 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Just stumbled across your talk page for the first time in a while, and I've seen you around, but for some reason I always thought you were an administrator here. I noticed you didn't succeed in your second RfA but that was over a year ago. Have you considered rerunning? Regards, --—Cyclonenim | Chat 11:21, 31 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is Triagia. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Wikipedia:Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").
Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Triagia. Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).
You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.
Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:13, 13 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
