MotD 2012-10-16Hello HueSatLum! May I approve this nomination with "seven years" (instead of six) and for the 30th of March 2013? Also I do not know what to do with "The difference between genius and stupidity is: genius has its limits". It has secured sufficient !votes to be approved, but I'm unsure whether to approve Edit 2, which is my favourite option, or the original. Thanks in advance and all the best. –pjoef (talk • contribs) 07:36, 16 October 2012 (UTC)
Page Curation newsletter - closing up!Hey all :). We're (very shortly) closing down this development cycle for Page Curation. It's genuinely been a pleasure to talk with you all and build software that is so close to my own heart, and also so effective. The current backlog is 9 days, and I've never seen it that low before. However! Closing up shop does not mean not making any improvements. First-off, this is your last chance to give us a poke about unresolved bugs or report new ones on the talkpage. If something's going wrong, we want to know about it :). Second, we'll hopefully be taking another pass over the software next year. If you've got ideas for features Page Curation doesn't currently have, stick them here. Again, it's been an honour. Thanks :).

Prizes for first, second, third and fourth will be awarded, as will prizes for all those who reached the final eight. Every participant who scored in the competition will receive a ribbon of participation. In addition to the prizes based on placement, the following special prizes will be awarded based on high performance in particular areas of content creation. So that the finalists do not have an undue advantage, the prize is awarded to the competitor who scored the highest in any particular field in a single round.
Awards will be handed out in the coming days; please bear with us! This year's competition also saw fantastic contributions in all rounds, from newer Wikipedians contributing their first good or featured articles, right up to highly experienced Wikipedians chasing high scores and contributing to topics outside of their usual comfort zones. It would be impossible to name all of the participants who have achieved things to be proud of, but well done to all of you, and thanks! Wikipedia has certainly benefited from the work of this year's WikiCup participants. Next year's WikiCup will begin in January. Currently, discussions and polls are open, and all contributions are welcome. You can also sign up for next year's competition. There will be no further newsletters this year, although brief notes may be sent out in December to remind everyone about the upcoming competition. It's been a pleasure to work with you all, and we hope to see you all in January!

All blood runs red.? I thought i'd leave a note because Nov 11 is quite soon. Cheers, benzband (talk) 21:29, 6 November 2012 (UTC)
This is not a newsletterAnyway. You're getting this note because you've participated in discussion and/or asked for updates to either the Article Feedback Tool or Page Curation. This isn't about either of those things, I'm afraid ;p. We've recently started working on yet another project: Echo, a notifications system to augment the watchlist. There's not much information at the moment, because we're still working out the scope and the concepts, but if you're interested in further updates you can sign up here. In addition, we'll be holding an office hours session at 21:00 UTC on Wednesday, 14 November in #wikimedia-office - hope to see you all there :). I appreciate it's an annoying time for non-Europeans: if you're interested in chatting about the project but can't make it, give me a shout and I can set up another session if there's enough interest in one particular timezone or a skype call if there isn't. Thanks! Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 11:01, 10 November 2012 (UTC) Be careful when reverting blankingPlease see my edit summary here. While IPs blanking content should generally be reverted, there are occasions when the removal of content is valid and therefore shouldn't be reverted. If you're unsure about it, it would be best to check with a wikiproject before reverting. Cheers SmartSE (talk) 13:07, 10 November 2012 (UTC)

ArmeniansHi Hue, I restored the IP's edit merely because if you look at the change history closely, an image was not being replaced but simply another image being added above in which was a map on the left side. The edit appeared to be a good faith edit and both images were intact. If you disagree with my decision, please let me know. Cheers, Mkdwtalk 22:33, 15 December 2012 (UTC)

I am posting it here verbatim as it looked like a question: Hi HueSatLum. Good to Wikimeet you! Why did you revert my link on the Mount Everest page? It was a helpful link to a great picture of Mount Everest. I haven't seen another resource that good on the Web for seeing what the mountain looks like. Did you feel that the link was unnecessary or irrelevant? Please don't revert people's edits without a good clear reason and good communication! Best, murftown P.S. Hey, I see you're in the Python 2 users group. Nice, I program in Python too!
Disambiguation link notification for December 24Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited 18th Youth in Film Awards, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page War of the Buttons (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
