Where can you report a user who continues to put hoax information in an article? WayneSlam 00:28, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

If they persist despite being warned, it can be considered persistent vandalism, and can be reported to WP:AIV. The UtahraptorTalk/Contribs 00:30, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

Your tip

I put the cheers as part of my signature, I sometimes forget on pages. I think of it as a friendly gesture. Cheers! ► Wireless Keyboard ◄ 00:39, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

Oh, okay. Cheers, too! WayneSlam 00:41, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

GOCE January Backlog elimination drive conclusion

Guild of Copy Editors January 2011 Backlog elimination drive

Greetings from the January 2011 Backlog elimination drive! We have reached the end of the month and the end of another successful drive; thanks to all who participated.

Statistics
  • 54 people signed up for the year's first Backlog elimination drive. Of these, 40 participated.
  • One of our goals was to reduce the size of the backlog by at least 10%. We managed to reduce the backlog by 633 articles, or about 12%.
  • Another goal was to eliminate as many 2009 months as possible from the queue. We eliminated January, February, March, and April—4 out of 12 months is not bad! In addition, we eliminated 37% of all remaining 2009 articles from the queue.
  • Chaosdruid copy edited Kutch Gurjar Kashtriya for 32,711 words, which is the largest single article completed in one of our drives so far. This article counts as six 5000-K articles, and Chaosdruid wins the "most 5000-K articles" leaderboard category. Way to go! A complete list of individual results is here.
Barnstars

If you copy edited at least 4,000 words, you qualify for a barnstar. If you participated in the November 2010 Backlog elimination drive, you may have earned roll-over words (more details can be found here). These roll-over words count as credit towards earning barnstars, except for leaderboard awards. We will be delivering the barnstars within the next couple of weeks.

Thank you for participating in this year's first Backlog elimination drive! We hope to see you in March.

Your drive coordinators –S Masters (talk), Diannaa (talk), The Utahraptor (talk), and Tea with toast (talk)

Wayne, unless you're 110% certain something is public information relating to another contributor, don't post it on-wiki. Courcelles 01:47, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

Help me

I tried to add this to my monobook page to see if my welcome summary would say using Friendly instead of TW and tried to welcome a user but nothing happened. Why didn't it make an effect? WayneSlam 23:32, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

Friendly development has merged into Twinkle development, and so all edit summaries will say TW. Logan Talk Contributions 23:34, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
Then how did this happen? WayneSlam 23:36, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
Try disabling Twinkle as a gadget and reinstall Friendly using the import script code. Logan Talk Contributions 23:38, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
I only have Friendly and HotCat installed as gadgets. I not sure another way to fix that. WayneSlam 23:40, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

Wayne, I've added to the User:Wayne Slam/Vandalism page. I suggest you keep it watch-listed so you know when I update it. Thanks -- Tofutwitch11 (TALK) 02:59, 11 February 2011 (UTC)
All right. WayneSlam 15:30, 13 February 2011 (UTC)

Oh, I also have a question for you on User:Wayne Slam/Vandalism. =) →♠Gƒoley↔Four♣← 00:00, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

Okay. WayneSlam 00:02, 14 February 2011 (UTC)
Wayne, you can look at the diffs. You just can't look at the page history to see if it was reverted. Tofutwitch11 (TALK) 00:38, 14 February 2011 (UTC)
Okay, Tofutwitch. WayneSlam 00:40, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

I'm not going to say this again

The next time you post non-public information on-wiki, you will be blocked from editing. Courcelles 01:24, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

Hi Wayne, just in case you're wondering what Courcelles is referring to, I think it's because you mentioned my name in the edit summary on my talk page as well as on my talk page itself. Not to worry, I've removed it from the talk page and removed the edit summary. Courcelles has deleted the text so nobody will be able to get back to that revision. And I will give you some diffs of vandalism if I see any about :) --5 albert square (talk) 01:40, 14 February 2011 (UTC)
I'm sorry. I was told how to put content of what I put in the talk page or any page in the edit summary. I guess I have to call you 5 albert square instead of your name for this reason. WayneSlam 02:04, 14 February 2011 (UTC)
That's ok, no harm done :)--5 albert square (talk) 02:07, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

The vandalism page

I don't revert vandalism often, not even much on my old account, "Perseus, Son of Zeus" but can I add to Wayne Slam/Vandalism? Thanks. --Perseus8235 17:42, 17 February 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, sure go on ahead. WayneSlam 23:33, 17 February 2011 (UTC)

Requesting help

After planning to put the 2011 Gatorade Duels Gatorade Duels in the 500 article, I noticed that there are race summaries for both of them. Since I am way behind schedule, I would appreciate some help. The help request includes finishing all four tables (2 for qualifying; 2 for race results; 24 drivers in all of them). THANKS! ~ Nascar1996 20:59, 17 February 2011 (UTC)

I'll do it. WayneSlam 23:29, 17 February 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for your help. Nascar1996 03:01, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

Um sorry :2011 Daytona 500#Qualifying? :) Please and thanks. Nascar1996 21:44, 18 February 2011 (UTC)
Nevermind, I had time to complete it. Nascar1996 23:47, 18 February 2011 (UTC)
I have created the next newsletter and will you create the 2011 Subway Fresh Fit 500 or will you wait until later in the week? WayneSlam 23:10, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

You can create it tomorrow now, then I will create the next two. Nascar1996 23:13, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
