This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of Krishna Chaitanya Velaga -- Krishna Chaitanya Velaga (talk) 05:02, 11 January 2017 (UTC) Your GA nomination of Bezen PerrotThe article Bezen Perrot you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Bezen Perrot for comments about the article. Well done! If the article has not already been on the main page as an "In the news" or "Did you know" item, you can nominate it to appear in Did you know. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of Krishna Chaitanya Velaga -- Krishna Chaitanya Velaga (talk) 03:21, 15 January 2017 (UTC) January 2017Thank you for your contributions. It seems that you may have added public domain content to one or more Wikipedia articles, such as Asus. You are welcome to import appropriate public domain content to articles, but in order to meet the Wikipedia guideline on plagiarism, such content must be fully attributed. This requires not only acknowledging the source, but acknowledging that the source is copied. There are several methods to do this described at Wikipedia:Plagiarism#Public-domain sources, including the usage of an attribution template. Please make sure that any public domain content you have already imported is fully attributed. Thank you. — Ninja Diannaa (Talk) 18:39, 16 January 2017 (UTC) Thanks, glad you like it; it's Indy beetle's work; he is thinking of improving it to GA so any help and advice would be appreciated. Regards Keith-264 (talk) 12:16, 20 January 2017 (UTC) Re:Annales SchoolI'm not sure. Part of the problem when discussing a block for Annales School is that the isp edits come from the 185 area, which raises flags for a block because 185 matches a list of isp addresses for which blocking requires a mandatory notice the WMF (though admittedly this is a little off the specific wavelength for our ever persistent sock). I'd be tempted to entertain raising the matter at WP:ANI, but I'd personally wait until attempt #3 to prove that protection of the article and the blocking of the isp addresses individually aren't helping. TomStar81 (Talk) 22:41, 21 January 2017 (UTC) PhotoHi, Catlemur. Thanks for adding the WWI photographs. Would you mind cropping each photo as opposed to directly uploading the entire page of the book? (Both for photos you've already upload and those you will being uploading in the future.) It spares the reader having to zoom into the image. Thanks in advance. 23 editor (talk) 17:17, 27 January 2017 (UTC) @23 editor: I understand. Thing is I have no editing skills, the best I can do is cropping them in Mircosoft Paint. In case that is fine, I will proceed.--Catlemur (talk) 17:38, 27 January 2017 (UTC)
@23 editor: I was about to upload some cropped versions when I saw that you have already taken care of them.--Catlemur (talk) 20:13, 27 January 2017 (UTC) GheluveltThanks for taking so much trouble over the ce, I've got Manflu and have made far too many errors and omissions. Keith-264 (talk) 22:01, 31 January 2017 (UTC)

I've gleaned a bit more, enough for a B? Regards Keith-264 (talk) 18:54, 14 February 2017 (UTC)
Hey Catlemur, thanks for looking over William Edward Ellis for me. Are the two paragraphs you reference the lead? I tried to model the general scheme of this article on an FA article. Those don't cite the lead but repeat lead claims in the body of the article with appropriate referencing, which I tried to do here. If there are cn within the body of the article please feel free to tag them for me so I can add where appropriate. Cheers, Finktron (talk) 11:52, 24 February 2017 (UTC)
March Madness 2017G'day all, please be advised that throughout March 2017 the Military history Wikiproject is running its March Madness drive. This is a backlog drive that is focused on several key areas:
As with past Milhist drives, there are points awarded for working on articles in the targeted areas, with barnstars being awarded at the end for different levels of achievement. The drive is open to all Wikipedians, not just members of the Military history project, although only work on articles that fall (broadly) within the military history scope will be considered eligible. More information can be found here for those that are interested, and members can sign up as participants at that page also. The drive starts at 00:01 UTC on 1 March and runs until 23:59 UTC on 31 March 2017, so please sign up now. For the Milhist co-ordinators. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) & MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 07:24, 26 February 2017 (UTC) Featuring your work on Wikipedia's front page: DYKsThank you for your recent articles, including Johann von Geyso, which I read with interest. When you create an extensive and well referenced article, you may want to have it featured on Wikipedia's main page in the Did You Know section. Articles included there will be read by thousands of our viewers. To do so, add your article to the list at T:TDYK. Let me know if you need help, Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 08:16, 6 March 2017 (UTC)
Eurowings - Current fleetHi, you filled in the references about the Airbus A319 and A320 wet-leased with Air Berlin (link). According to the article you cited (link): "all of the A319s and A321s, as well as 13 A320s will be wet leased to Lufthansa" i.e. six A319 and 21 A321, however, the table of current fleet says 7 A319s in service and three more on order and no mention of A321. So there are contradictions. Same for A320: according to the wiki article - 22 to be wet-leased from Air Berlin, but the article you cited said 13 A320s will be wet leased to Lufthansa [Eurowings].---Now wiki (talk) 20:59, 8 March 2017 (UTC)

Help with Lyft proposed changes?Hi Catlemur, I noticed you've been active on the Lyft article. I wonder if you would help review a number of updates that the company thinks would improve the article. Talk:Lyft/Archives/2017#Suggested_changes.2F_Independent_review I do this a lot and always request an independent review of proposed changes, as is proper under Wikipedia policy. You would just have to state on the Talk page whether you approve or disapprove of the proposed changes, individually or as a group. Or suggest any modifications.

I'd like to try my hand at a few but I'm worried that I'd muck it up. I'm terrible at proofreading. If I assessed one would you assess my first assessment, before I posted it?

Unhappy reminder that tools can betrayI know nothing about the tool 'reFill', but I see that you still use it, so this reminder to check its work might be timely. In this edit back in 2015, something took the URL (which is weird, fershur) and somehow derived a |title= containing the same misspelled word 'Goobye'. The article was published November 2014, and your change was May 2015, and it is *possible* somebody could have corrected the title of that old article since then, but I've never seen that before. Is it possible that the tool reFill simply made up the title from the URL, and that you didn't catch that by referring to the original? Shenme (talk) 22:24, 22 February 2018 (UTC)
