Main page appearance: George KovalThis is a note to let the main editors of George Koval know that the article will be appearing as today's featured article on November 14, 2011. You can view the TFA blurb at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/November 14, 2011. If you prefer that the article appear as TFA on a different date, or not at all, please ask featured article director Raul654 (talk · contribs) or his delegate Dabomb87 (talk · contribs), or start a discussion at Wikipedia talk:Today's featured article/requests. If the previous blurb needs tweaking, you might change it—following the instructions at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests/instructions. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. The blurb as it stands now is below:
UcuchaBot (talk) 00:02, 12 November 2011 (UTC) I noticed that this article was created recently. Since you have done redirects on the article multiple times, I'm just wondering if you're gonna work on it so make a Good or Featured Article so it can be added to the Halo Featured Topic. GamerPro64 18:55, 12 November 2011 (UTC) Review article to help make it FA quality?Greetings. As a former (current?) member of the FA-team, would you be willing to help me out? I'm looking for some editors to help review an article I've been working on and give feedback to help it reach FA-quality. Cheers, AstroCog (talk) 18:06, 14 November 2011 (UTC)

AfD Closure RequestHey David. Would you mind closing this request? The article in question is one that I have not edited, (at least edits that didn't involve me calling for its expansion), and its nomination has strong consensus for a Keep, with the only opposition being the nominator, who brought up nominations for every electronic sports article he came across. Also, this request has been opened for two weeks, so I think it's time that it's closed. DarthBotto talk•cont 18:12, 16 November 2011 (UTC) This indefinitely blocked user was unblocked as the result of an appeal to the BASC under terms enumerated here. Prior to his unblocking, this user engaged in extensive, disruptive socking related the article Nelson Antonio Denis. His socks disrupted a PUF discussion[1] concerning a photograph of himself, during which his socks claimed there was a OTRS letter claiming he "created" the photo. He obviously didn't create the photo (as he was the subject), and the photo was deleted after protracted discussion. Another user has just uploaded the same photo, and Nelsondenis248 swiftly materialized to post a notice on the photo and its talk page claiming, again, to be the "copyright holder" and stating, again, that an email was again being sent to OTRS.[2][3] It seems to me that while editing files or photos of himself was not prohibited by his unblocking, which banned him from editing his article, it is certainly against the spirit of his unblock for him to get involved in the addition of photos to his article. This is especially so considering the way his socks disrupted the previous PUF discussion by making identical arguments that were rejected. I think that he should be expressly cautioned to desist from involvement of any kind in photos of himself or uploaded for insertion into the article about him.

JabbsworthIIRC, User:Jabbsworth is now asserting that he was unblocked because ArbCom ruled that way ... [4] shows his specific claim. I note you were the unblocking admin on 22 July, and wonder if such was in fact the case (the user had removed his block notice from his talk page [5] at 2:42 on 22 July, after the unblock where you said he would only edit from the one account. The main accounts, however were, and are, indefinitely blocked, and I had thought that such an unblock was unusual. He has, unfortunately, reverted to his personal attacks on me, and is using ArbCom as his "Get Out of Jail Free" card at the SPI case Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Ratel where he makes his identity abundantly clear. As this is part of the initial problem Ratel and his myriad of socks has had in the past, I would appreciate learning if he does, indeed, have that card. Cheers. Collect (talk) 12:48, 22 November 2011 (UTC) RatelAFAICT, Ratel had atr least 8 socks - notable for making identical edits on article pages. He currently seems to have erred by posting that we should look at the Matt Drudge material on sourcewatch.org, where, mirabile dictu, such article appeared only a few hours before Jabbsworth pointed us to it. That article has the same edit that Ratel, TickleMeister, Jabbsworth, BozellHammer made. In addition, SPI requests connect TickleMeister to OzOke, RxWatch, Hills-Mitchelson, Elleeomosynary, Long:iveReagan, AllYrBaseRBelongUs, and Jabbsworth -- making the link complete. He is now engaging is disruptive behaviour at the Matt Drudge article, inter alia, making the exact same type of edits which caused him to be indeffed a long time ago by Gwen Gale 11:04, 26 May 2009 Gwen Gale (talk | contribs) blocked Ratel (talk | contribs) (account creation blocked) with an expiry time of indefinite (blatant and willful violation of WP:BLP, [6] . He also got a block from JPGordon for Abusing multiple accounts to feign consenus at [[abusing multiple accounts to feign consensus at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Climate change denial (4th nomination)) He is continuing to operate as usual, and as such I suggest he has violated his parole. Read also the unredacted Talk:Matt Drudge to see one other teeny problem he appears to have. Cheers.

Full ThrottleHi, David! Let me introduce myself - I am quite a new face around WP:VG and my name's Electroguv. I would like to promote Full Throttle (a 1995 LucasArts adventure) to GA, but I don't have enough print sources to start writing about the game's development. You have quite an expierence in reaching hard-to-find print refs, so I was wondering if you could point me to some pieces I could use. Thank you. Electroguv (talk) 11:42, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

Toshio Yamaguchi (talk) 09:58, 12 December 2011 (UTC) Muhammad RFCGiven the mess that was the discussion at WT:NOT which led to 100k words of discussion how is it plausible that an RFC will actually achieve anything beyond delaying an Arbcom case and creating a ton of drama?

Way back in 2007.......you properly deleted Aruba (film) due to problems with copyvio. However, I have re-written the article about this film from the ground up and would like to return it to mainspace in a day or two. I'd like to to review my progress at User:MichaelQSchmidt/sandbox/Aruba (2006 film) to see that the new version is suitably different before I bring it back from the grave.

Request for Comments on Wikipedia:RepresentationHi there! My name is Whenaxis, I noticed that you are on the Arbitration Committee. I created a policy proposal called Wikipedia:Representation. I think that this policy would help the Arbitration Committee as well as the Mediation Committee because the goal of this proposed policy is to decrease the amount of time wasted when an unfamiliar editor files a Arbitration or Mediation Committee when other forms of Dispute Resolution have not yet been sought. For example, an editor may come to the Arbitration Committee requesting formal mediation when other dispute resolution areas have not been utilised such as third opinions or request for comments. A representative works much like a legal aid - there to help you for free and:
This proposed idea can also help the editor seeking help because it can alleviate the stress and anxiety from dispute resolution because mediation and arbitration can be intimidating for those who are unfamiliar. I would highly appreciate your comments on this proposal at: Wikipedia talk:Representation. Cheers and Happy New Year - Whenaxis about talk contribs 22:43, 31 December 2011 (UTC) Friendly notification regarding this week's SignpostHello.

Thanks so much for your time, — Cirt (talk) 23:04, 6 January 2012 (UTC)
Any updates on this? :) — Cirt (talk) 15:13, 14 January 2012 (UTC)
Featured Topic questionHey David, not to be redundant with questions, as I can see that Cirt's contribution above is one, but I have a question about something that I am not comfortably clear on that I would estimate you have experience with. You see, I've looked over Featured Topic candidates, and I was wondering, how many pages of a particular topic have to be of FA/GA quality, in order for it to be considered a topic? Take for example, our great endeavor, DotA; say that Dota 2 becomes a FA- would we be able to consider it a topic and nominate it for featured status with only two articles?

Myst confusionHi, David. I noticed that the article's lead says that "Millers began working on Myst in 1991". No such a thing is stated at Development, so that's looking a lot like OR. I think you must take some action. Electroguv (talk) 11:53, 19 January 2012 (UTC) The Signpost: 23 January 2012

UcuchaBot (talk) 23:03, 26 January 2012 (UTC) Zhand38Hello, this is the blocked user Zhand38. I can't log-in anymore for some reason nor even talk on my own page. Anyways, I was wondering what I have to do to be unblocked again. I have apologized to the people who were originally trying to help. Um, I don't really know what to say, I feel pretty bad about my rudeness and I don't think there is any luck for me in a while but I just wanted to check. Gwen Gale and DonLammers were the main people who tried to help me, so do you mind hearing their opinions. I will do my best in my will to follow all of the policies and I have many reasons for editing that it will be hard to put it on here, so look at this link. I created this, it took me 10 months to make this, and this is probably what I would put on here. I have found all the websites for references, as I have lacked before when I was unblocked. So the point is, I will not disappoint anyone. I should mention though that what I'm talking about editing the Cincinnati Zoo page.Thanks a bunch. http://cincinnatizooandbotanicalgarden.wikia.com/wiki/Cincinnati_Zoo_and_Botanical_Garden_Wiki 208.102.209.78 (talk) 00:33, 27 January 2012 (UTC) Vandalism of user 92.8.255.106Hi, I don't know if I'm writing to a proper person about this, but it seems that there is a user who engages in vanalism: 92.8.255.106 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/92.8.255.106) . Today he edited 7 articles and vandalised them, everything in just under 1 hour. I reverted some of them to their previous versions. I've seen that you also unid the changes in one article. I just wanted to inform someone about this persons behaviour.
