[edit] NPOVing
If that could be done, I think it certainly would be the ideal way to do it! What you might want to do is start up a draft copy in userspace to see how it turns out, and if there's consensus to accept it, it certainly can be copied in.

[edit] Thanks for your work at marriage
Trishm, just wanted to tell you how much I appreciated your edits to the first paragraph of the marriage article. It looks like the trolls that guard that page have edited it out of existence—I wish there was a way to stop them because your work was informative and cited. Thanks for the attempt.--Riferimento 23:53, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
I liked this version very much[[1]], and I do not think that it was given enough time so I am going to edit back to this version starting Tuesday. If it is edited away I plan on reverting it back periodically for a couple of days until I am sure that multiple editors have had time to review it.--Riferimento 17:03, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Caretaker Gazette
I have absolutely no concerns with what you did in putting that article up for AFD. However, I do think it is salvagable. I just rewrote it at User:Garycdunn/The Caretaker Gazette. Can you let me know what you think of this version? In particular, has the spam problem been solved? GRBerry 02:52, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
I have not seen any more spamming of mathematics educational articles. The article is greatly improved, but I still feel that Mr. Dunn has no interest in Wikipedia other than for promotional purposes, which makes me uncomfortable.Trishm 04:17, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] NPOV
Please discuss policy changes on the talk page of the respective policy. That way you are more likely to get a response. >Radiant< 12:18, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] GAC backlog elimination drive
This form message is being sent to you either due to your membership with WikiProject Good Articles and/or your inclusion on the Wikipedia:Good article candidates/List of reviewers. A new drive has been started requesting that all members review at least one article (or more, if you wish!) within the next two weeks at GAC to help in removing the large backlog. This message is being sent to all members, and even members who have been recently reviewing articles. There are almost 130 members in this project and about 180 articles that currently need to be reviewed. If each member helps to review just one or two articles, the majority of the backlog will be cleared. Since the potential amount of reviewers may significantly increase, please make sure to add :{{GAReview}} underneath the article you are reviewing to ensure that only one person is reviewing each article. Additionally, the GA criteria may have been modified since your last review, so look over the criteria again to help you to determine if a candidate is GA-worthy. If you have any questions about this drive or the review process, leave a message on the GAC talk page. --Nehrams2020 01:07, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Leo J. Ryan Federal Building
- Thank you...
... for taking the time to review Leo J. Ryan Federal Building and pass it as a Good Article. Do you have any suggestions for pointers as this article makes its way towards FA status? Smee 01:08, 28 May 2007 (UTC).
Hi Smee, I have left a comment on the discussion page. At this stage, I would try to polish the prose, and go for a peer review. Trishm 12:21, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
- Really, that soon? Thanks so much for the vote of confidence! Smee 12:32, 29 May 2007 (UTC).
- Thank you so much for your time and help. I touched up a couple of things, added another citation and some more info, and then put the article up for Peer Review. We'll see how it goes. Smee 13:09, 29 May 2007 (UTC).
- Think of a peer review as a chance to get some fresh perspectives on your article. I like your enthusiasm.Trishm 08:39, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
- Thank you, and I will. Smee 08:42, 30 May 2007 (UTC).

The Random Acts of Kindness Barnstar | |
| I, Smee, hereby award Trishm with The Random Acts of Kindness Barnstar. For taking the time to do article review, and helpful polite pointers on how to improve article quality, as well as overall polite demeanor in discussion pages on the project. Thank you. Yours, Smee 08:47, 30 May 2007 (UTC) |
[edit] Leo J. Ryan Federal Building
Trishm, I didn't want to upset anyone but I couldn't in all conscience agree that the Leo J. Ryan Federal Building should be a GA - I've explained my reasons on the peer review page - perhaps you'd take a look and we can discuss it? --Mcginnly | Natter 13:25, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
- I would appreciate your comments on this, as previously both yourself as the GA reviewer as well as another editor at the Peer Review both commented positively on the quality of the article as GA status. Smee 19:51, 22 June 2007 (UTC).
[edit] Kent FAC
Hi. I'm sorry to bother you, but as a Wikiproject Grammar member, I just wondered if you would be willing to have a look through the Kent article. It is currently a Featured Article Candidate and needs a copy-edit for grammar by someone who hasn't yet seen it. Any other ways to improve the article would also be welcome. Thank you very much, if you can. Epbr123 23:37, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] July 2007 GAC backlog elimination drive
A new elimination drive of the backlog at Wikipedia:Good article candidates will take place from the month of July through August 12, 2007. There are currently about 130 articles that need to be reviewed right now. If you are interested in helping with the drive, then please visit Wikipedia:Good article candidates backlog elimination drive and record the articles that you have reviewed. Awards will be given based on the number of reviews completed. Since the potential amount of reviewers may significantly increase, please make sure to add :{{GAReview}} underneath the article you are reviewing to ensure that only one person is reviewing each article. Additionally, the GA criteria may have been modified since your last review, so look over the criteria again to help you to determine if a candidate is GA-worthy. If you have any questions about this drive or the review process, leave a message on the drive's talk page. Please help to eradicate the backlog to cut down on the waiting time for articles to be reviewed.

[edit] League of Copyeditors roll call
 |
Greetings from the League of Copyeditors. Your name is listed on our members page, but we are unsure how many of the people listed there are still active contributors to the League's activities. If you are still interested in participating in the work of the League, please follow the instructions at the members page to add your name to the active members list. Once you have done that, you might want to familiarise yourself with the new requests system, which has replaced the old /proofreading subpage. As the old system is now deprecated, the main efforts of the League should be to clear the substantial backlog which still exists there. The League's services are in as high demand as ever, as evinced by the increasing backlog on our requests pages, both old and new. While FA and GA reviewers regularly praise the League's contributions to reviewed articles, we remain perennially understaffed. Fulfilling requests to polish the prose of Wikipedia's highest-profile articles is a way that editors can make a very noticeable difference to the appearance of the encyclopedia. On behalf of the League, if you do consider yourself to have left, I hope you will consider rejoining; if you consider yourself inactive, I hope you will consider returning to respond to just one request per week, or as many as you can manage. Merry Christmas and happy editing, The League of Copyeditors. |

[edit] Shifted WarningsSmall to right margin
19-April-2008: I modified this talk page to shift that top box of "WarningsSmall" to actually align at the right margin. I learned a trick last month: to force a table to truly align at the far right margin, just wrap the table in 5 symbols: {| class=infobox |}. As a result, the coding appears as follows:
{| class=infobox <!--auto-width fits Table of Contents-->
{{WarningsSmall|align=right}}
|}
Note that in the MediaWiki wikitable language, the symbol for start-of-table "{|" must be placed in column 1 of a line. The class=infobox is for any box that shifts to the right side; there are numerous other classes (such as class="infobox geography vcard"), and quotation marks are optional for one-word values. The article "Help:Table" has many typical examples of wikitables, but wrapping with "class=infobox" is a rarely seen trick. -Wikid77 (talk) 04:26, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] ROSETTA BARNSTAR for Windows Vista
 |
The Rosetta Barnstar | |
| Wikid77 awards Trishm this barnstar for deciphering "Windows Vista" (March 2008) as a sales brochure when no one else could quite figure out why a computer salesman seemed near: excellent work on noting priority placement of details. Insights there will likely affect all Windows articles. -Wikid77 (talk) 04:49, 19 April 2008 (UTC) |
