Just checking in

Hey Irunongames! Just saying hey, and that your recent contributions look really great! I especially liked your mature handling of the message board cruft on Talk:Channel One News, with the deletion and warning - great stuff. While you seem to be doing awesomely, please remember you can always poke me with a question or for help. Happy editing! FlyingToaster 23:56, 8 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Hey Toaster! It's been a while :(. Yea, I've become more active in the past cupple of days. Also as a person with rollback rights that talk page was infuriating me. I'll contact you if I ever need help! :D Irunongames • play 00:44, 9 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Washing machine GA nom

[edit]

Hi, Irunongames, I noticed that you nominated the article Washing machine. Seeing that the article does not meet the GA criteria, especially since it lacks inline citations, I'd like to direct you to the Ga criteria. Perhpas that could help you guide the article to a good or even featured standard. Feel free to ask me more questions or ping me if you have concerns. ceranthor 00:35, 6 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

{{Appliance stub}} and {{Home-stub}}

[edit]

Greetings! Two or more stub types which you created have been nominated for renaming or deletion at Wikipedia:Stub types for deletion. The stub type most likely doesn't meet Wikipedia requirements for a stub type, through failure to meet standards relating to the name, scope, current stub hierarchy or likely size, as explained at Wikipedia:Stub. Please feel free to make any comments at WP:SFD regarding this stub type, and in future, please consider proposing new stub types first at Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals! This message is a boilerplate, left here as a courtesy, and should not be considered personal in nature. Grutness...wha? 02:07, 6 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Your good article reviews

[edit]

Hi, thanks for your good article reviews, but please remember to follow the instructions and list the article under the correct topic at Wikipedia:Good articles after (and if) you have passed it. Thank you. Dabomb87 (talk) 22:05, 8 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Sorry about that. I will remember in the future :D
Also, when you pass GA nominations, please leave "GA" as the edit summary when you edit the talk page to put the GA banner on there; it makes it easier for {{ArticleHistory}} maintenance. Thanks. Dabomb87 (talk) 22:08, 8 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Please do't just upgrade articles without a review. I had to revert what you did on Charlie Crist. Thank you. Hekerui (talk) 07:18, 9 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Request to participate in University of Washington survey on tool to quickly understand Wikipedians’ reputations

[edit]

Hello. I'm part of a research group at the University of Washington. In April, we met with Wikipedians to learn what they would like to know about other editors’ history and activities (within Wikipedia) when interacting with them on talk pages. The goal was to gather feedback to help design a tool that could quickly communicate useful information about other Wikipedians. We have now created a few images that we feel represent some of what our participants thought was important. We would appreciate it if you took a few minutes of your time to complete an online survey that investigates whether or not these images would be useful to you. Your quick contribution would be very valuable to our research group and ultimately to Wikipedia. (When finished, the code for this application will be given over to the Wikipedia community to use and/or adjust as they see fit.)

We are particularly interested in feedback from new editors! We want to make sure this tool meets your needs.

Willing to spend a few minutes taking our survey? Click this link.

Please feel free to share the link with other Wikipedians. The more feedback, the better! The survey is completely anonymous and takes less than 10 minutes to complete. All data is used for university research purposes only.

Thank you for your time! If you have any questions about our research or research group, please visit our user page. Commprac01 (talk) 23:15, 12 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Chisholm

[edit]

You wrote "When I nominated the article, the article was much smaller and only have one source. Sorry for any inconviance to the editer"

Yes, well perhaps that's why you should wait more that six minutes after an article is started before nominating it for deletion. You literally nominated it while I was in the middle of writing it. Dodge rambler (talk) 17:47, 16 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I thought that the user had finished with the article. Their is a "this article is under construction template" so that these mistakes don't happen. It is not my fault that I though the user was still editing the articles to improve it. Irunongames • play 17:56, 16 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I think adding a stub template would have been more appropriate given that the bio in question was of a police chief of a major metropolitan area and thus was ipso facto notable. Rather than jumping the gun and slapping a deletion template why not try to see if an article is salvagable first? Dodge rambler (talk) 18:01, 16 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
You did not explain why he was notable at the time Irunongames • play 18:04, 16 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
It was self-evident from the bio - first chief of the Metropolitan Toronto Police Force and he shot himself to boot. Dodge rambler (talk) 18:08, 16 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Here is the orignial text

John Chisholm ( - July 4, 1958) was Chief Constable of the Metropolitan Toronto Police Force until he committed suicide.

Chisholm was found dead in his automobile in High Park having killed himself by a single shotgun wound to the head.[1] He had been suffering from ill health since the previous Christamas - Police Commissioner C.O. Bick told the Daily Star that his "neves" were bad, and had been rumoured to be considering submitting his resignation.[1]

Being a police cheif does not mean to automaticly get a article and just becuase you were about to resign does not mean anything. You just specualted in your last coment. Also You can't only use news sources in articles. Irunongames • play 18:12, 16 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, the speculation was in the news article I cited in which the reporter, Jocko Thomas I believe, reported that there had been rumours for several weeks that the Chief would resign. Dodge rambler (talk) 18:17, 16 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"Also You can't only use news sources in articles" Where does it say that? Dodge rambler (talk) 18:18, 16 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

News reports. Wikipedia considers the historical notability of persons and events. News coverage can be useful source material for encyclopedic topics, but not all events warrant an encyclopedia article of their own. Routine news coverage of such things as announcements, sports, and tabloid journalism are not sufficient basis for an article. Even when an event is notable, individuals involved in it may not be. Unless news coverage of an individual goes beyond the context of a single event, our coverage of that individual should be limited to the article about that event, in proportion to their importance to the overall topic. (See Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons for more details.) While including information on recent developments is sometimes appropriate, breaking news should not be emphasized or otherwise treated differently from other information. Timely news subjects not suitable for Wikipedia may be suitable for our sister project Wikinews. Furthermore, Wikipedia articles should not list frequently asked questions (FAQs). Instead, format the information provided as neutral prose within the appropriate article(s). See also: Wikipedia:News articles

That does not say you cannot use only news sources in an article. What it says is that not all news warrants a wikipedia article, which is an entirely different thing. Dodge rambler (talk) 13:34, 17 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well, it's just 1 day until the contest begins, so I thought I'd check in with everyone and make sure you're all ready to go. First I'd like everyone to check out the main contest page and read over the rules and the scoring system. If you have any final questions or concerns, make them known on the talk page. Wikipedia:WikiProject Aviation/Contest/History/2009 is the scoreboard that will be updated, you can watchlist it. Check out Wikipedia:WikiProject Aviation/Contest/Submissions which shows how your submission page should look. Another example is at Wikipedia:WikiProject Aviation/Contest/Submissions Example, and your personal page should be listed at the footer of the page, which is also at Wikipedia:WikiProject Aviation/Contest/Users. Again, take any questions to the contest talk page.

Join the collaboration, in the IRC chat room!
Wikiproject
After great success with Marco Polo (and his sheep!), Dry ice went pretty well. USS Massachusetts (BB-59) was challenging, and with Monkey, the project faded: Battle of the Nobles and Oil got little attention. 		We need your help! Spotlight is a collaboration - it works really well when lots of people get involved. It doesn't matter what skills you bring, because between us, we can do great things. Even if you make one, simple edit - if 100 people do that, we'll have made significant progress, and we all benefit by learning from each other.
Current article
This time, we've created a brand-new article, and between us we're confident of achieving a Did you know... on the main page, and work towards getting the article rated as C-class or B-class.
 Father Aengus Finucane died on 6 October at the age of 77; he was an Irish priest who did lots of work helping refugees of world conflicts, and was the head of the charity Concern. There are plenty of reliable sources, so it should be easy to write this - so please help out by editing the article.
