[edit] Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot

SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.

If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.

P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot 02:36, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Featured article candidate review: Buffy article

Hi

You maybe interested to know that the article 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' has recently been nominated as a candidate to become a featured article. Should it become a featured article, it will be possible for the article to appear on the Wikipedia main page on March 10th 2007, the 10th anniversary of Buffy (the premiere, "Welcome to the Hellmouth" aired March 10th 1997).

Any feedback you can offer to improve the article and/or to either object or support the nomination, would be wonderful. Thanks -- Paxomen 18:23, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

Hi, I noticed you voted at Talk:Buffy the Vampire Slayer, however I didn't make it clear that to officially support/object the article, you need to do it at this page: Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Thanks -- Paxomen 18:07, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

Buffy nomination restarted: Since you have were involved with discussion before at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Buffy the Vampire Slayer, you might appreciate knowing that the nomination for the Buffy article has been restared at the same wiki page. I am letting everyone know who might not be aware (whether they were for or against the article becoming featured). Cheers -- Buffyverse 22:36, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Micah Sanders

Your recent contribution(s) to Wikipedia are very much appreciated. However, you did not provide references or sources for your information. Keeping Wikipedia accurate and verifiable is very important, and as you might be aware there is currently a drive to improve the quality of Wikipedia by encouraging editors to cite the sources they used when adding content. If sources are left unreferenced, it may count as original research, which is not allowed. Can you provide in the article specific references to any books, articles, websites or other reliable sources that will allow people to verify the content in the article? You can use a citation method listed at inline citations that best suits each article. Thanks! --Madchester 04:22, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject Cocktails

[edit] Childish Uncivil Comments

At no point was myself or others Uncivil towards you

You lambasted me for "not editing the Heroes page myself." When It was impossible to do so because my registration wasn't complete at that time. You then act as if it's some major inconvenience to add a simple statement. Not civil in the lightest. Really, every heard of glass houses? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 203.87.64.214 (talk) 07:55, 23 January 2007 (UTC).

Please do not continue to breach WP:CIVIL and WP:NPA. What's worse is denying it. 08:08, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

Proof? Such as reposting something from my user-page once I've already deleted it? Then there's always the attitude you had all because I asked someone to post a single sentence summary. Are you like this in real life? I pity those around you. 05:29, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

Long winded, really. An UNCIVIL attack on the group to point out glaring POV? Hardly. All this just to justify your own uncivil comments is rather a cop out, no? The "de-gaying" is mentioned on the character page, but not on the main site. I find it odd that a controversy is delegated to a sub page (without reference to it on the main article). I guess the sexuality of a character and the rush back into the closet isn't all that newsworthy for you "group" here on wikipedia. 08:20, 27 January 2007 (UTC).

This guy has been blocked for accusing Ryulong of being part of a homophobic cabal. I've alerted the LGBT WikiProject to his planned disruption, who you're still welcome to join btw. ;) Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 07:32, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

You're welcome. "Self-hating gay man" indeed. Tchah. :) Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 23:15, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Adoption offered

Hi Jacob

I noticed that you had requested "adoption" by an experienced editor. I've only been "active" here for about 2 months, but I have exceeded 1,000 edits per month so far. I've run afoul of a few policies (a sincere apology and an appeal for clarification goes a long way). From your userboxes, it appears we have a lot in common. Also, given our mutual interest in the WikiProject Mixed Drinks, it would seem we might be a good fit. Let me know. I have to head off to work now, so it will be several hours before I can respond. Take care. --Willscrlt (Talk·Cntrb) 15:56, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

It is my pleasure to adopt you. Yeah, I may be a bit new to Wikipedia in days, but certainly not in hours spent editing. I'll be the first to admit that I run into new things several times each week, but I think I have a pretty good grip on stuff now. I also am pretty comfortable with WikiComoons and WikiBooks, which each have a different feel and way of doing things. Wikipedia definitely comes across as more "uptight" than the others, but I think it is largely because it is so active and receives so much attention. The pace here is much more frantic, and people seem less patient. I tend to advocate an air of meditative calm before jumping into things with keyboards blazing. That doesn't mean I always succeed in that myself, but I find that when I do, things usually go much more smoothly.

So, what can I help you with? And feel free to e-mail me if its anything you don't want permanently stored in public view here at Wikipedia for eternity. --Willscrlt (Talk·Cntrb) 01:53, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Invitation!

Hello, I noticed that you have an interest in LGBT issues. Would you be interested in joining WikiProject LGBT studies? Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 11:38, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject Involvement Opportunity

Hi. Philvarner and I have various thoughts on how to restructure the entire mixed drinks and bartending section of Wikipedia, and that also squarely ties in with WikiBooks. Some of these are pretty sweeping changes. You have expressed interest in helping with the WikiProject Mixed Drinks, and your input on this important matter is really important. Please visit the Restructure Section to read, discuss, and hopefully help plan these important changes. Thank you.

On a more personal note, how are things going with you? I haven't heard from you in a while. I hope exams went well (you were taking a break for exams, right, or am I confusing that with someone else?). Take care. --Willscrlt (Talk·Cntrb) 11:23, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] You user page has a problem

I noticed that your user page has a problem. On my 1024x768 screen, some of your user box columns are ending up on top of others. You may need to call {{clear}}. See the box groups "My Personal Details" and "Hobbies". Will (Talk - contribs) 09:19, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Your comment on user talk page policy

I noticed that you posted a comment on Village Pump about the ambiguous nature of user talk page usage policy. I'm of the opinion that user talk pages are a community resource, especially in the case of vandalism warnings. I'm planning to initiate discussion on the possibility of defining a policy on what is and what is not proper behavior when it comes to deleting vandalism warnings on one's own talk page. Let me know if you are interested in this debate and I'll let you know when it is open for discussion again. -- Mufka ^{(user) (talk) (contribs)} 23:56, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Simone is Dead

But you were right in reverting, as the site still lists her as one of the main characters. However, sources have confirmed that she died, they are on Simone's article. Cheers!--DeadGuy 04:24, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] LGBT WikiProject newsletter

The LGBT studies WikiProject Newsletter

The LGBT studies WikiProject Newsletter! Issue IV - March 1, 2007 Monthly Challenge: Find 5 editors to LGBT articles and invite them to the project! Check out our recruitment tips if you need them. Good luck! Project News With such rapid development of the project, it was decided that a Coordinator was needed to ensure all the fiddly maintenence was kept up. Elections were held and Dev920 (talk • contribs) has been elected Coordinator for the next three months. She said "I am honoured and proud to be at the helm of such a fantastic WikiProject and look forward to our future". Congratulations Dev! The assessment system continues to be a great success, we have tagged over 5200 articles! Please tag any LGBT related articles you come across by adding {{LGBTProject | class=}} to the talkpage. Please see the Assessment Department for how to assess an article according to the grading system. Jumpaclass is proving to be quite successful! The winner at the end of the year gets to pick the January collaboration, so sign up and get going! Or challenge another user to see how far you can jump a stub! A new Community department has been set up to foster community amongst our members. It mostly acts as other WikiProjects' Outreach department, but also has a Quilt to which every member is entitled to add a square containing anything of their choice. The peer review is not getting much custom - please notice you can cross-list other peer reviews from different projects that also fall within our scope. Many people still seem to be unaware that the Deletion sorting subpage exists for XfDs to be listed: please use and watch that page instead of issuing "alerts" for ordinary AfDs on the project talkpage. WP:FILM has a current drive to give every film article an infobox. WP:LGBT successfully gave all 105 LGBT infoboxless films infoboxes, so a big thank you to everyone who participated. A new template, LGBT-footer, has been created for articles which are becoming to cluttered with infoboxes. Thanks to WJBscribe and SatyrTN for creating it. A very basic resources page has been started. Please add to it as you come across useful sites. A promotional poster for the project has been created: http://wplgbt.tripod.com/Wikipedianeedsyou.doc (you have to directly cut and paste the url, or it won't let you download it). Please distribute anywhere and everywhere you desire, such as gay libraries, cybercafes, community centres and so on. Also, please let Dev920 know where you have put it up, so she can keep track of our coverage. An LGBT Publications Taskforce has been proposed. Please sign up here if you are interested in being involved. An LGBT WikiProject has been set up on the Spanish Wikipedia! Set up by Raystorm, it has already gained six members and is developing an assessment system. If you speak any Spanish, please consider going up and lending a hand if you can! Article News An LGBT article, Homosexual readings of Jesus and John, made it onto the main page as a DYK this month. Congratulations to Haiduc, who wrote the article. Another article, Same-sex marriage in Italy, also made it onto the main page as a DYK this month. Congratulations to Raystorm, who wrote the article. And another article, George Cecil Ives, made it to the front page DYKs this month. Congratulations to Zefrog, who wrote the article.

[edit] LGBT WikiProject newsletter

The LGBT studies WikiProject Newsletter

The LGBT studies WikiProject Newsletter! Issue V - April 3, 2007 Monthly Challenge: Article News Three articles were promoted to Featured Article status this month: Homer's Phobia (2007-03-26), Trembling Before G-d (2007-03-15) and Andrew Van De Kamp (2007-03-30). Congratulations to Gran2 and Dev920 (twice!) respectively for all their hard work! Three new articles appeared on the Main Page as Did you know? items: Classification of transsexuals (2007-03-02), Steve Stanton (2007-03-08) and Melbourne Gay and Lesbian Chorus (2007-03-23), started by Lwollert, Yksin and MusicMen, respectively. DavidShankBone deserves kudos for his current drive to provide quality LGBT photos from the NYC area. One of the more recent photos is posted on Michael Musto, and you can check out the gallery on David's user page. Project News There is now the beginning of a list of core topics to possibly be included in the Wikipedia 1.0 release. Your suggestions are welcome; there may be many core LGBT topics still missing. We have a list of people categorized as LGBT whose articles need to be checked for reliable sourcing. This effort is necessary and urgent, to comply with Wikipedia's policy on living persons. Please take a few moments to source one article; if you've got time, do another. SatyrTN identified all the articles that were in subcategories of Category:LGBT but not yet tagged with the project's banner, about 1,400 articles. These have been completed, though SatyrBot will make periodic runs through the cats to find any new entries. Thanks Satyr! The number of articles within our project's spectrum (6,667 currently) should now be relatively stable and only grow with article creation. However, if you find a category that should be included, please let SatyrTN know so it can be included in the bots runs. Work is underway to improve the LGBT Portal. Please add any good quality (free) photos you come across on LGBT articles to the gallery here. Also if anyone would like to volunteer to help in maintaining the portal, please make yourselves known on the Portal's talkpage. If you see any articles for deletion or any other deletion discussions related to LGBT topics, please remember to add them to the deletion sorting board. Thanks!
