A belated welcome!
Here's wishing you a belated welcome to Wikipedia, BrandonWu. I see that you've already been around a while and wanted to thank you for your contributions. Though you seem to have been successful in finding your way around, you may benefit from following some of the links below, which help editors get the most out of Wikipedia:
 * Introduction
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Help pages
 * How to write a great article
 * Editor's index to Wikipedia

Also, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name using four tildes ( ~ ); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on, consult Questions, or place helpme on your talk page and ask your question there.

Again, welcome! Jetstreamer $Talk$ 20:46, 31 August 2013 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for April 16
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Air Panama destinations, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Bocas del Toro (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.

GA Reviews
Hello Brandon,

I have noticed that you are interested in GA reviews. I have little experience in that area, and tend to feel pretty modest about the articles I have written. Some of those articles may qualify I think, but I don't have a strong appetite for the scrutiny. Would you be willing to give me some help on one or two of them?  Cullen 328  Let's discuss it  05:34, 17 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Sure I'd love to! User:Figureskatingfan will also help me with your articles! WooHoo! • Talk to me!  12:36, 17 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Cullen, I recommend that you go ahead and submit your articles to GAC and then make the request that someone review them for you. Don't be so modest! ;) Another option is to submit them to WP:PR and then make a similar request.  I'm more than happy to assist, and to make it part of the GA Recruitment Centre. Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 17:43, 17 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Cullen, do you mind listing the articles on my talk page, so me and Christine can take a look at them? (unless you've already received a peer review, or you submitted your articles to GAC) Like Christine said, don't be so modest, this is Wikipedia ;P. WooHoo! • Talk to me!  23:43, 17 April 2014 (UTC)

Sockpuppet_investigations/Aesheticinfo
No, MrWooHoo, I had not forgotten. Sockpuppet_investigations/SPI/Guidance asks me to consider notifying the accused socks. I considered it. (And you can see at the AfD that I placed a note there.) Thank you. Drmies (talk) 19:21, 21 August 2014 (UTC)

Todays Article for Improvement(TAfI)
Hey Brandon! I just saw that you joined (TAFI)! That's wonderful. From looking at your user and talk page you definitely have the right criteria for this Wikiproject. This weeks article for improvement is History of West Africa and the next article for improvement is Solar Activity which starts on August 25th. Just thought you'd like to know! Mirror  Freak  13:30, 22 August 2014 (UTC)

I almost forgot, if you have any questions about the wikiproject just ask me or ask User:NickPenguin who I think would be glad to help as he's helped me! Happy editing! Mirror  Freak  13:33, 22 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Most definitely, we can field any questions you might have, we are a pretty friendly bunch. -- Nick Penguin ( contribs ) 23:24, 22 August 2014 (UTC)

Wow, the TAFI WikiProject's members are so friendly :) Thanks for coming over here to welcome me. Cheers! Brandon (MrWooHoo) • Talk to Brandon!  23:28, 22 August 2014 (UTC)

GA Cup
Hello everyone! We hope you have all been having a great summer!

As we all know, the recent GAN Backlog Drives have not had any big impact on the backlog. Because of that, me (Dom497), Figureskatingfan, and TheQ Editor have worked on an idea that could possibly finally put a dent into the massive backlog. Now, I will admit, the idea isn't entirely ours as we have took the general idea of the WikiCup and brought it over to WikiProject Good Articles. But anyways, here's what we have in mind:

For all of you that do not know what the WikiCup is, it is an annual competition between several editors to see who can get the most Good Articles, Featured Article's, Did You Know's, etc. Based of this, we propose to you the GA Cup. This competition will only focus on reviewing Good articles.

For more info on the proposal, click here. As a FYI, the proposal page is not what the final product will look like (if you do go ahead with this idea). It will look very similar to WikiCup's page(s).

The discussion for the proposal will take place here. Please let us know if you are interested, have any concerns, things to consider, etc.

--Dom497, Figureskatingfan, and TheQ Editor
