Language and Steward election

[edit]

If so, may I respectfully request that you strike your oppose (or more helpfully, switch to support)? If only eight people (including you) feel that their initial oppose was hasty and strike their opposition, I would have the 4:1 support ratio necessary. Thank you for reconsidering. -- Avi (talk) 23:18, 19 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

How do I do this, I'm very new and unfamiliar with using these pages.

Country outlines project update - 2009/03/08

[edit]

Remember "Around the World"?

Well, we've been around the World, and around again (virtually speaking, on Wikipedia), on this project.

Things have been slowing down again, so it's time for a big push...

We've gone live

[edit]

This project needed a shot in the arm. Also, its draft pages have been littering Wikipedia's categories for months. The time seemed right to move all the country outline drafts to article space.

WHAT???

Well, the drafts had been sitting in Wikipedia space for a year.

WHAT???

Development has been moving at a snail's pace and we could use the help of the Wikipedia community at large (who are more likely to find these if they are in article space).

WHAT???

Yes, we've gone live.  :)

This puts pressure on us to get the blatantly incomplete elements of these outlines done. The only glaring problem is the government branches sections. These need to be corrected ASAP.

I've mentioned THE GOVERNMENT BRANCHES SECTIONS many times to many people over the past year, but the problem just doesn't seem to have been taken seriously. So let me put it another way:

HELP!!! I need your help on this now. Almost all the countries have a government with an executive branch, a legislative branch, and a judicial branch. The links for these branches need to be completed for each country outline:

Here's a convenient list you can use WP:LINKY on to access and edit these quickly. Please copy the list's link to the top of your talk page so that you can access it easily.

If you spot any standardization in links, and ways we can automate parts of this process, or for groups of countries that have links in common, please let me know!

Administrative support for outlines

[edit]

There has been growing pressure on me to write up the administrative pages for outlines - their instructions, guidelines, etc. Therefore, I'm now in the process of composing these. Fortunately, it is mostly a matter of gathering material from messages I've written to you guys over the past year. Still, this is taking up most of my time, and I will be buried in these for the foreseeable future.

Traffic control

[edit]

The next big task after the government branches sections are cleaned up is link support for the outlines.

There's quite a list of links and notices that need to be put in place around Wikipedia, providing access to them to readers, and alerting editors to the need to develop and maintain these pages. This will keep our bot people very busy (and happy).

But the most important thing right now is to get the government branches sections completed. So please, put your bots aside, roll up your shirt sleeves, and start typing.

Thank you.

Geography WikiProject update - 03/15/2009

[edit]

You commented on the awards effort when it was just getting started a long while back - I thought you might like to see the end results...

The award images are complete!

After months of toil and attention to detail, Penubag has completed the set of images for this WikiProject's awards!

There are five race ribbons:

There's an engraved medallion:

And by far the hardest to create, a golden trophy:

If you are interested in the contests and collaborations that will feature these awards, drop me a note.

And be sure to pop by Penubag's talk page to let him know what you think of his graphics artistry.

Re: CSD G7

[edit]

Not really; so much as adding a link or changing a word is considered a major change in this context. If you're still inclined to have it deleted, I can re-create it in my userspace so all the transclusions don't redlink. Cheers, –Juliancolton | Talk 23:05, 30 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I forgot that template → userspace redirects don't work, so it'll have to stay in the template namespace. –Juliancolton | Talk 23:14, 30 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think it's uncivil at all. In fact, I quite like it. :) –Juliancolton | Talk 01:53, 31 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding that template, please remember to always use <noinclude>-tags when tagging templates for speedy deletion. Due to transclusion, some 100 userpages popped up in CAT:CSD from users who have used the userbox. Regards SoWhy 07:15, 31 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I just was looking at my guestbook, and I saw your addition about the vandal. First off, please try to sign your posts with four tildes (~).

Orphaned non-free media (File:DanteInferno Game.jpg)

[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:DanteInferno Game.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:46, 26 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
