"2 new harry potter books"HueSatLum I was not trying to imply that there were 2 new books being written, which is why a created another sub-page with the title "new book RUMOUR" implying that it was indeed a rumor. I used 2 sources. Whether the rumour is true or not, I dont see the harm in putting it at the bottom of the page like other pages do. For example, on the article about friends (TV show) there is a sub-page about the recent film rumours. Please stop deleting the work. If you have suggestions on what could be added so that we have a mutual understanding, please let me know. Jordankestler (talk) 01:46, 10 September 2013 (UTC)
DYK on Denali ascentYou were busy! Thanks for letting me know you proceeded with the DYK, and for including me on it. I was still finding out more material about Harry Karstens, and then Walter Harper and John Fredson, and back to Stuck. Quite a frontier age! Fairbanks had about 600 people in the city in 1905 or so, and another 600 on the edges. Made me more curious about some of the other characters, too.Parkwells (talk) 13:42, 23 September 2013 (UTC)

WikiCup 2013 September newsletterIn 30 days, we will know the identity of our 2013 WikiCup champion. The did you know (DYK) eligibility criteria have recently changed, meaning that newly passed good articles are accepted as "new" for did you know purposes. However, in the interests of not changing the WikiCup rules mid-competition, please note that only articles eligible for DYK under the old system (that is, newly created articles or 5x expansions) will be eligible for points in this year's WikiCup. We do, however, have time to discuss how this new system will work for next year's competition; a discussion will be opened in due course. On that note, thoughts are welcome on changes you'd like to see for next year. What worked? What didn't work? What would you like to see more of? What would you like to see less of? All Wikipedians, new or old, are also warmly invited to sign up for the 2014 WikiCup. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to reduce the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

Thanks for taking pains to attend to postings from learners like me. I just want to inquire why my submission on the sandbox on " Summary of five pillars" was deleted. You informed me that it duplicated an existing article on Wikipedia. We were asked to submit a summary on the pillars we read on the instruction or training page. I wonder if my Professor saw it for grading. Thanks. Godwin Wenwatata (talk) 22:52, 1 October 2013 (UTC)

DYK for Alexander Stewart Herschel
The DYK project (nominate) 08:02, 12 November 2013 (UTC) GA nomination of Black MambaThanks for reviewing the Black mamba article for GA status. It is probably going to be a tough and lengthy review process for this particular article, so I hope we can work together to make sure it passes. For the most part, the accuracy of information of this species is satisfactory and the article is well written, but there are still many problems and issues with it that need to be fixed. Most of the problems within the article are related to references which are not of the highest quality. Other issues include some exaggerations regarding some aspects of this species' size (which I already have made corrections on) and its behavior. The venom section is mostly accurate, however, it requires some improvements in the types of sources used and there are some controversial issues like the claim that the venom of the black mamba is the most rapid-acting venom of all venomous snakes (while this may very well be true, there is no high quality source which explicitly claims this - although it is well known that death generally occurs more quickly after a black mamba bite compared to related species like other species of mamba, cobras, kraits, Australian brown snakes and even taipans). Anyways, I am pleased you have taken on this task and look forward to working with you in getting this article its GA status back. --DendroNaja (talk) 16:51, 26 November 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited George Tenet, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page The Next Generation (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.

Thanks for the reviewThanks for helping me make the Black mamba article a better article than it was. I waited a long time for someone to take it and review it, until you came along and did a great job with the review! --DendroNaja (talk) 17:23, 31 December 2013 (UTC)
Yes, the Wikicup will be fun. Be on the look out for another venomous snake species nomination for GA status. Not sure what species it will be, but I'm sort of thinking Forest cobra, Common krait or Chinese cobra. All three can be further expanded, probably won't be as big as the black mamba article - but when I'm done with the one I pick, it's definitely going to be bigger than what it is now. --DendroNaja (talk) 22:35, 31 December 2013 (UTC)
Do you have an interest in venomous snakes? You seem to have at least a little bit of interest and basic knowledge. Because if you enjoy learning about them, you're going to love me (lol). I plan on doing major expansions on all the Naja species - there's no reason any of those articles should be that short and limited in information because there is a massive amount of material on the vast majority of the cobra species, enough research to make a quarter of those articles at least as large as the black mamba page and the other three quarters at least half as large as the mamba page.They are by far the most researched genus of snakes on earth. Same with Bungarus (kraits), and of course, the rest of the mamba species. Than I'm going to undo the damage that the IP user did to the Inland taipan article (leave that headache for last). --DendroNaja (talk) 07:04, 1 January 2014 (UTC)
Oh that's too bad. But I'm going to take on a couple right now. And a Happy New Year to you too! I'll review yours, if you review mine....lol! I'm so competitive. --DendroNaja (talk) 15:26, 1 January 2014 (UTC)
Welcome to the 2014 WikiCup!Hello HueSatLum, and welcome to the 2014 WikiCup! Your submission page can be found here. The competition will begin at midnight tonight (UTC). There have been a few small changes from last year; the rules can be read in full at Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring, and the page also includes a summary of changes. One important rule to remember is that only content on which you have completed significant work, and nominated, in 2014 is eligible for points in the competition- the judges will be checking! As ever, this year's competition includes some younger editors. If you are a younger editor, you are certainly welcome, but we have written an advice page at Wikipedia:WikiCup/Advice for younger editors for you. Please do take a look. Any questions should be directed to one of the judges, or left on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup. Signups will close at the end of January, and the first round will end on 26 February; the 64 highest scorers at that time will make it to round 2. Good luck!

Your GA nomination of James P. HagerstromHi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article James P. Hagerstrom you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. WikiCup 2014 January newsletterThe 2014 WikiCup is off to a flying start, with, at time of writing, 138 participants. The is the largest number of participants we have seen since 2010. If you are yet to join the competition, don't worry- the judges have agreed to keep the signups open for a few more days. By a wide margin, our current leader is newcomer
Featured articles, featured lists, featured topics and featured portals are yet to play a part in the competition. The judges have removed a number of submissions which were deemed ineligible. Typically, we aim to see work on a project, followed by a nomination, followed by promotion, this year. We apologise for any disappointment caused by our strict enforcement this year; we're aiming to keep the competition as fair as possible. Wikipedians interested in friendly competition may be interested to take part in The Core Contest; unlike the WikiCup, The Core Contest is not about audited content, but, like the WikiCup, it is about article improvement; specifically, The Core Contest is about contribution to some of Wikipedia's most important article. Of course, any work done for The Core Contest, if it leads to a DYK, GA or FA, can earn WikiCup points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to help keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

The DYK project (nominate) 00:02, 2 February 2014 (UTC) Your GA nomination of James P. HagerstromThe article James P. Hagerstrom you nominated as a good article has passed List of churches preserved by the Churches Conservation Trust in the East of EnglandHi Hue, Happy Valentine's Day! I noticed that you removed the hyphens from the February 28 TFL blurb citing MOS:NUM. As far as I can tell, MOS:NUM does not mention compound adjectives composed solely of numbers. According to this website, hyphens should be included in compound adjectives like "one-hundred dollars", so I am under the impression that the hyphens should be readded to the blurb. What are your thoughts? Neelix (talk) 18:35, 14 February 2014 (UTC)
rottrevore pageive been trying to correct the rottrevore band page on wikipedia for some time. an ex band member whos name is CHRIS FREE username ARKAINZEYE continues to change the information by writing false statements about the band . example claiming the band is broke up not true the band is alive and well . leaving the existing members out of the members section . and also continues to change the link to the band page to one he made .

WikiCup 2014 February newsletterAnd so ends the most competitive first round we have ever seen, with 38 points required to qualify for round 2. Last year, 19 points secured a place; before that, 11 (2012) or 8 (2011) were enough. This is both a blessing and a curse. While it shows the vigourous good health of the competition, it also means that we have already lost many worthy competitors. Our top three scorers were:
