Yeah it happens to us all. I was looking at an article and saw an unsigned post, went into the history to fill in the {{unsigned}}... and it was mine. *blink* - Sinneed23:40, 2 June 2010 (UTC)
"contradicting the retorts you gave everyone in the archives" - erm... are you okay? Much of what you wrote makes *a little* sense, though not much, but this one is just ... weird. In any event, I don't expect to interact with you further. All the best and happy editing.- Sinneed23:45, 2 June 2010 (UTC)
Orphaned non-free image File:Bernard Lord at Ecole Odyssee inauguration.ogg
⚠
Thanks for uploading File:Bernard Lord at Ecole Odyssee inauguration.ogg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images 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 "file" 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Image Screening Bot (talk) 04:50, 17 June 2010 (UTC)
G'day Ericleb01. I have reverted your change to my joining date - no harm done. There are other time zones in the world and you may want to check such details before assuming others are wrong. Sufficient information was available on my user page to work this one out. Cheers, AusTerrapin (talk) 10:27, 5 July 2010 (UTC)
IB was pretty fun, we advance at a much faster pace than the regular program. It isn't as boring, but there is still some boredom involved. Met some pretty cool people, learned a bunch of stuff. The only downside is that my grades fell. What happened at Odyssée in the past year? Acebulf (talk) 20:54, 10 July 2010 (UTC)
Quite the opposite of what Alaa was saying. The people are pretty nice, and as long as you don't piss off the wrong people you'll be fine. Like any other place in the world. I've heard a couple stories about him though, probably the same you already heard from other people in Odyssée. I hang out with the IB people, some of them are quite awkward though. Also what's Lindsay's child's name? Acebulf (talk) 21:21, 10 July 2010 (UTC)
Sorry I couldn't respond earlier. What "optional" classes are you taking next year? I could probably give you a few concepts you could check out on here, things you will learn in that class. Acebulf (talk) 19:41, 11 July 2010 (UTC)
Mehdi is fine, he's gone back to Algeria for the summer. Bio is really boring, there is no IB bio so we took bio at the regular level. How far are you guys at in chem and physics? Acebulf (talk) 03:08, 12 July 2010 (UTC)
Hi Ericleb01, I've made a comment on the DYK nomination page. Do take a look at it, and if you would like me to do a check in time subsequently, prompt me at my talk page. Cheers, AngChenrui (talk) 08:55, 14 July 2010 (UTC)
DYK for Petitcodiac River
On July 17, 2010, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Petitcodiac River, which you created or substantially expanded. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check ) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.
Greetings from the Guild of Copy Editors Backlog Elimination Drive! We have now passed the halfway point, so here's an update.
Progress Report - Progress toward the targets has been good. 751 articles out of the approximately 1,600 we would like to get completed by the end of the month were done by July 15, so we will be very close to meeting the target for volume. However, we would like to clear all of the 2008 articles from the backlog, and there are still 892 left to do. Please consider choosing one of these older articles when looking for something to copy edit. If we focus our firepower we can completely wipe out 2008 from the queue.
Participation Report - 95 people signed up for the July drive. This is a great result compared to May, when we had 36. However, in May only one person that signed up didn't do any copy edits, and in July only 59 of the 95 have posted any copy edits on the big board.
The task may seem insurmountable but please remember that if all 95 participants copy edit just one article a day from now until the end of the month, we will eliminate 1,300 more articles from the backlog. So please consider participating at whatever level you can! All contributions are appreciated.
As per your comments, I've done some work on the article, cutting down plot details which don't really matter to the writing that much. I've kept a bit of each plot summary, especially the Bob & Rose summary, which is pretty much describing how the traditional love story is subverted. Admittedly, I could remove the Kevin Smith mention, as it's a minor point in the biography (and by minor, I mean "half a page"). I've also failed epically on reducing the byte count; my additions to the writing style section re: cliffhangers have cancelled out the plot summary simplification! In any case, thank you for doing the copy edit. You've actually inspired me to help out with the GOCE backlog too; I'm not that bad at writing prose, but at the same time, it's best to have uninvolved eyes to check articles at FAC, especially one such as this, which has been in the pipeline for months...

Thanks for the help! If you need any help though I'm an astrologer and I've done some work on that page as well, though over the last year I've been distracted and busy, I've even neglected other articles relating to astrology that I was meaning to fix up. Can you tell me anything about that guild? --I'ḏ♥One21:52, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
