By the way, how did you find out I made many short edits in a span of time?Sosthenes12 (talk) 00:01, 14 February 2013 (UTC)Sosthenes 12 I looked at the Wikipedia Recent Changes Page and found the edits. The article you are working on (Oswald J. Smith) has a few other minor issues. I have labeled those and hope you will fix them. Thanks again! PrairieKid (talk) I'll try to get to it today. So is it generally better to make all the edits you are going to do in another place and then do everything in one edit? Thank you! Sosthenes12 (talk) 00:07, 14 February 2013 (UTC)Sosthenes12
Thanks again. And LOLs, we gave each other a barnstar! I was deciding whether to give you a kitten or the special barnstar. Hope to work with you more in the future! Sosthenes12 (talk) 00:14, 14 February 2013 (UTC)Sosthenes12 A barnstar for you!
Disambiguation link notification for February 17Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Velichko Minekov, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Bulgarian (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.

It's up for deletion. —Designate (talk) 19:06, 17 February 2013 (UTC) Hello Designate. The website that I retrieved the image from does allow for Fair Use, for "activities such as comment, news reporting, criticism, teaching, research, and other related activities." That is at http://www.malegislature.gov/Site/TermsOfUse . The website does say that an email asking for permission may be necessary, but I didn't think that this was one of those instances. I would be more than happy to send the proper email, if you think it is necessary. Sorry for not being clearer in the original description. Thank you for bringing this to my attention! PrairieKid (talk) 20:15, 17 February 2013 (UTC)
I understand. Sorry for originally using the photo. Thanks for your help! PrairieKid (talk) 22:13, 17 February 2013 (UTC) Disambiguation link notification for February 24Hi.

Would you mind taking another look and adding the reason if you remember it? —rybec 04:42, 10 March 2013 (UTC) GA nomHi PrairieKid, when you nominate an article for GA, please do not create the GA review page. This makes it look like the article is already being reviewed, and makes it less likely that an outside reviewer will get involved. If you wait for someone to open the review, they should get to it reasonably soon, though there is often a wait. I moved your comment to the talk page for now. Let me know if you have any questions, Mark Arsten (talk) 20:55, 12 March 2013 (UTC) Thank you, Mark Arsten. I was not sure of the process. Thank you for noticing. PrairieKid (talk) 20:58, 12 March 2013 (UTC) WikiProject C-SPAN?Greetings fellow Wikipedia editor - I am leaving you this note because I have reason to believe that you are interested in C-SPAN. (I may have made this assumption based on your C-SPAN user box, or perhaps for some other reason.) If this is not an interest of yours, please feel free to read no further and delete this message. If you are in fact someone who is interested in C-SPAN, then let me put forward an idea that I have been kicking around for a while. What if we started a C-SPAN WikiProject? The parameters of this (potential) project are up for discussion, but it could include some or all of the following (as well as things that may occur to you that have not occurred to me):
I don't know exactly how far we may want to go, nor in what directions, but I do believe (as I have long noted on my user page) that C-SPAN and Wikipedia are both...
Now, I should mention that I have never started a WikiProject before, and I do not know the best way to go about it. (Perhaps one of you do?) Let me offer one of my sandbox pages, User:KConWiki/sandbox/Wikiproject C-SPAN?, as a gathering area for comments until such time as we gather enough steam to start our own WikiProject page. Thanks for reading this far, and I hope that you will give some consideration as to whether this is something we ought to attempt. Please feel free to pass this message on to others you know whom might be interested, and please let me know your thoughts and comments.

I've reduced the Obama association section so it's not as heavy, and added to the senate run section, but there isn't much to add as he isn't actually running yet. I'll be getting to the Niki Tsongas article soon, and thank you for reversing your decision! Grammarxxx (What'd I do this time?) 03:10, 5 April 2013 (UTC)
I feel I've made Niki Tsongas more neutral, and I've significantly added to her family life, along with fixing the prose. At this point and with the amount of research I've done I feel it's now up to par, could you please come give it a second look? And thank you for taking up the Mike Capuano nomination!

Please be aware that there is currently a Contributor Copyright Investigation regarding the main editor (and GA nominator) of this article, and his edits to this article have not yet been checked, as can be seen at Wikipedia:Contributor copyright investigations/HughD. I enquired previously about how this affects GA nominations, and was told that if there are outstanding instances of close paraphrasing (see WP:PARAPHRASE) or other copyright violations, then the article should not be passed as a GA. So, you may wish to keep that in mind when reviewing. Equally, if you are able to check some or all of the material (the diffs listed at the CCI link above) against the original sources, and are happy that specific parts do not infringe the copyright guidelines, you may wish to mark them as OK on the CCI. Sorry that this is a bit out of the blue - feel free to ask any questions either here or at WT:CCI if necessary. --Demiurge1000 (talk) 03:39, 7 April 2013 (UTC) Thank youThanks for taking up the review, please let me know if you have any questions. Hugh (talk) 07:29, 7 April 2013 (UTC)
Bad GA reviewI have to say that this is the sloppiest GA review I've ever seen. The article was nominated for speedy deletion once (not "a dozen times") by an single-purpose account who was subsequently topic-banned for violating arbitration sanctions. I've no idea why you think it's been "nominated for deletion over a dozen times." It's frankly crazy to reject references on the grounds that they are "pages in books, which I am not able to check on". I've never seen any reviewer in any GA or FA nomination using that argument. Rejecting the nomination outright without even allowing a chance to amend the article is also unacceptable. In short: please don't do GA reviews in future; if that's the quality of your reviews, you really need to raise your standards. I see that you are a relatively new user so I suggest that you spend more time creating good and featured articles (of which I have nearly 40) before you start reviewing others'.

Another questionable reviewHi, just to let you know that a discussion has been opened here concerning a different article that you quick-failed. Could you perhaps provide an expansion on what you feel the major problem with the article is? J Milburn (talk) 22:02, 7 April 2013 (UTC)
Just a quick not say that I was too critical above. I should have been more constructive. It obviously was not your intent - so I should not have sounded so harsh. Please do not be discouraged from editing and gaining more experience. we need all the help we can get on Wikipedia. Happy editing.Rain the 1 23:24, 8 April 2013 (UTC) Disambiguation link notification for April 9Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help.

And as for citations, I've changed it around so much and added and deleted, do you see any issues with them any more? Grammarxxx (What'd I do this time?) 18:18, 12 April 2013 (UTC) Your GA nomination of Mark TwainThe article Mark Twain you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold TsongasHi, can you please point out what's wrong with the prose in the Tenure section of Niki Tsongas? I've read it over and aloud and it seems fine to me, and I'd like to fix this as soon as I can. Grammarxxx (What'd I do this time?) 18:18, 12 April 2013 (UTC)
Hi, I noticed that you placed Washington (state) up for peer review. Now, I'd love to collaborate with you and help us be able to get the article up to that status if you would like and I look forward to hearing from you. TBrandley 01:32, 15 April 2013 (UTC)
Non-free rationale for File:Ann Rivers.png Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Ann Rivers.png. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale. If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. 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 media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page.

This is about the Adam Levine article. It's been days since the article's been made a GA, but I noticed that it hasn't appeared here on the list of Other Music articles yet. Does that happen, or is there something left to be done? Thanks! GinaJay (talk) 12:57, 18 April 2013 (UTC) |
