DYK

A reminder that those articles that are eligible for the "Did You Know?" section of the Main Page should be submitted within five days of their creation or first edit. See the DYK rules and this dispatch about DYK.

The important issues are that the article must be no more than five days old (or have been expanded fivefold or more within the last five days), have a minimum of 1,500 characters (around 1.5 kilobytes), and have a "hook" that is cited with an inline citation.

For now, don't worry too much about what's meant by an "inline citation." Once you have the information there, I or others can format it appropriately. But you do need to do some preliminary research and flesh out the article.

Good luck! --jbmurray (talk • contribs) 09:40, 15 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A reminder that this means that you should be putting this article in today. --jbmurray (talk • contribs) 07:58, 17 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

models

To have a sense of what you should be aiming at as you work on your article, you are advised to look at relevant good articles and featured articles. Recent featured articles about novels, for instance, include El Señor Presidente and The General in His Labyrinth. These were written by a UBC class last semester. You may also want to consult the Novels Wikiproject. --jbmurray (talk • contribs) 09:55, 15 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

reminders: regular editing and plan

Two reminders, from our project page:

Over the course of the semester, you need to log in and make at least one edit, again however minor, to your article twice a week.

By September 19, each group should have their plan in place, and have written it up on their article's talk page.

Your recent edits

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 20:27, 29 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

misquotations

Nicolecruz, beware when using quotations as you did here. You need to be accurate. I fixed this here. --jbmurray (talk • contribs) 14:53, 30 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

October

Nicolecruz, I see that the last time you made an edit was over a week ago... --jbmurray (talk • contribs) 20:38, 8 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

happy face!

You get my happy face for your work on Who Would Have Thought It?. Keep it up! --jbmurray (talk • contribs) 23:42, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

progress?

Nicolecruz, I'm a touch worried... As is verified in our progress reports, the rate of advance of Who Would Have Thought It? is slowing down... from 70 edits in the first period, to 34 and now 27. C'mon, don't give up... --jbmurray (talk • contribs) 00:32, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Gguy

Heya. You may have noticed that I dropped a note on the talk page of a chappie who goes by the moniker of Geometry guy. You may or may not entirely see yourselves in my characterization (!), but he's a most excellent feller and a good person to go to for advice or encouragement. I've asked him to send you some vibes. --jbmurray (talk • contribs) 02:02, 8 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

GA review

Nicole and Anna,

Anything can happen at GA, but you've just had the extreme good fortune that Awadewit from the FA-Team has kindly offered to review your article and has left great comments for you to work on. She is probably the resident expert on top-quality literature articles. Whereas I can only offer general advice and make relatively minor edits and copyedits, she knows what you need to get your article featured, so listen, learn, work hard and be happy!

I will help out where I can. Geometry guy 21:13, 14 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Edit summaries

Nicole (and Anna), I just want to commend you on your great use of edit summaries. They are descriptive and helpful and save a lot of talk page chat. Just clicking on the history button gives a real sense of where the edits are going and what needs to be done. Nice one! Geometry guy 19:36, 18 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! Your encouragement has been inspiring!--Nicolecruz (talk) 22:35, 22 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome and thank you!

		The Exceptional Newcomer Award
		Thank you for all your hard work in improving the plot summary and character descriptions of Who Would Have Thought It? - your careful attention to detail is much appreciated here at Wikipedia! Awadewit (talk) 04:45, 22 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
