Wikimania 2010 Oxford bidThank you for supporting the Oxford bid to hold Wikimania 2010! We're currently in the final stages of the bid process - the jury will be announcing their decision by the 16th April. We're currently putting together the local team for the bid (who will do what if the bid wins); if you're able to be on the local team, please put your name in the appropriate place on m:Wikimania 2010/Bids/Oxford/Team. We'd also welcome anything you can do to help refine the bid in these last few days. If you have any questions, please let me or User:Seddon know. Thanks.

I would like to invite you to consider helping with the GA sweeps process. Sweeps helps to ensure that the oldest GAs still meet the criteria, and improve the quality of GAs overall. Unfortunately, last month only two articles were reviewed. This is definitely a low point after our peak at the beginning of the process when 163 articles were reviewed in September 2007. After nearly two years, the running total has just passed the 50% mark. In order to expediate the reviewing, several changes have been made to the process. A new worklist has been created, detailing which articles are left to review. All exempt and previously reviewed articles have already been removed from the list. Instead of reviewing by topic, you can consider picking and choosing whichever articles interest you. We are always looking for new members to assist with the remaining articles, so if you are interested or know of anybody that can assist, please visit the GA sweeps page. In addition, for every member that reviews 100 articles or has a significant impact on the process, s/he will get an award when they reach that threshold. If only 14 editors achieve this feat starting now, we would be done with Sweeps! Of course, having more people reviewing less articles would be better for all involved, so please consider asking others to help out. Feel free to stop by and only review a few articles, something's better than nothing! Take a look at the list, and see what articles interest you. Let's work to complete Sweeps so that efforts can be fully focused on the backlog at GAN. If you have any questions about the process, reviewing, or need help with a particular article, please contact me or OhanaUnited and we'll be happy to help. --Happy editing!

I have seen both 20 Mar and Palm Sunday 17 or 18 March given as the dates for the murders. As for the street, I have seen both Hatter and Heathenis. In any case, the usual response to ambiguity is to keep the item and to put in a "Citation needed". In the meantime I am looking for good references. Also, I will be linking the item to similar massacres at York and elsewhere that year. Regards, Acad Ronin (talk) 20:23, 19 March 2010 (UTC)
April 2010 GAN backlog elimination drive
–MuZemike delivered by MuZebot 17:31, 25 March 2010 (UTC) Sybil Andrews imagesHi Mr. Patrick, As I had not heard from you via email (sent through your En account) I have had the images in question deleted per the request of the Glenbow Museum who does indeed appear to own the copyright as transfered via Ms. Andrews will. I have uploaded a low resolution version of the Michaelmas image on En so that it can be used on the article and have replaced it there. If you have questions or concerns please feel free to get ahold of me either on my talk page here, on Meta or via the Email User function. If in the end I was in the wrong images can always be restored from the system. I'll leave a copy of this note on your En page and send you another email. Again, please let me know if you have any questions. James (T C) 17:26, 28 April 2010 (UTC) Dear Jamesofur, many thanks for the email I have yet to receive your first one, hence no reply. I thought the images were low res that I had uploaded, if you have lowered it I have no problem as long as people can see her style and type of work. As to copyright I will bring that one up with the management at some point we also have a very large collection of her original work. This will be when we all have the time etc to research the subject. Interesting thought I know of private collectors and a gallery that also have, like us, the original of that particular print (she normally printed 60 - 65) I wonder if they think they have the copyright as well? Murky waters that I personally do not want to go into, the lawyers would have a field day I am sure. As I said as long as the general public can see her amazing craft, skill and vision I am happy for any resolution. Thanks for your care and attention, Yours Edmund Patrick – confer 18:07, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
As a contributor at the MoMK article and/or talk page, please take a look at the new draft and the draft's talkpage and voice your opinion. Thanks, The Magnificent Clean-keeper (talk) 20:20, 29 May 2010 (UTC) Para duplication apologiesJust a joke while editing,I'm not really up on editing parlance, just occasionally attempt to tidy the obvious typo. Now I have discovered it to be a Wicca-orientated hostility generated on debate re: B.'s contribution to Bury Trial and can understand where it's coming from, no problem now ! Norwikian (talk) 07:47, 24 June 2010 (UTC) I've just got hold of Malcolm Gaskill's Witchfinders, with a view to getting Matthew Hopkins up to at least GA spec. I don't want to step on your toes though, so any objections if I dive in? Malleus Fatuorum 18:47, 11 August 2010 (UTC)
March 2011 GAN backlog elimination drive a week away WikiProject Good Articles will be running a GAN backlog elimination drive for the entire month of March. The goal of this drive is to bring the number of outstanding Good Article nominations down to below 50. This will help editors in restoring confidence to the GAN process as well as actively improving, polishing, and rewarding good content. If you are interested in participating in the drive, please place your name here. Awards will be given out to those who review certain numbers of GANs as well as to those who review the most. On behalf of my co-coordinator Wizardman, we hope we can see you in March. MuZemike delivered by MuZebot 00:25, 22 February 2011 (UTC) Your messageYour message is much appreciated. I do follow what goes on here, but I found that Proverbs 12:23. Hope you're in the pink! Best regards Eebahgum (talk) 12:43, 10 June 2011 (UTC) |
