Prima Donna (opera)
Hi. I see that you've added a very detailed synopsis, but you haven't provided a reference saying where it comes from. Is it, perhaps, copied directly from the opera's programme? If so, it could be a breach of copyright, and you'd be well advised to paraphrase it and give a credit to the author, or to the programme. If you have permission from the copyright owner to copy it, that's OK, but you'll need to go through WP's procedures. Apologies if you knew all this already. Best. --GuillaumeTell 17:44, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the message. It think it would be better if you could rewrite the synopsis (maybe shortening it a bit) and putting in a ref saying something like "This synopsis is based on the one by D. Kramer in the programme for the premiere performances".  Incidentally, I read through it and noticed quite a few errors - spelling and grammar - so by all means make your corrections before paraphrasing it.  Actually, I wondered if it was translated from French!  I'm moving the premiere stuff up to the top of the article and may make a few more adjustments - feel free to complain if you don't like what I've done. --GuillaumeTell 18:02, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

Hot outside, so stay inside working on the Oregon COTW!
Hello to WikiProject Oregon folks, and get ready for another Collaboration Of The Week. Thank you to those who worked on the land fraud scandal and Mr. Wicks. This week we have one by request, Central Oregon, and a gnomish task, the Great Infobox Drive of '09. For the infobox drive, just find some articles without infoboxes and add one. People and companies are two prime areas as many do not have infoboxes, yet infoboxes exist for those areas.

Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back, Mr. COTW
Howdy after a long message absence to those of WikiProject Oregon. To answer a common question, no you did not get removed from the COTW notification list, I was just too busy to send out the notification for the last change. So, thank you to all those who helped improve Central Oregon and Mount Jefferson, as well as those who added infoboxes and adopted a governor. For this edition of the COTW, we have partly by request and in honor of the return of college football, Duck football and Beaver football. If you are a fan of neither, maybe go back and work on a governor or add infoboxes this time around.

Project Runway FL
General rule would be to wait a short time (give it at least a couple of review cycles) before re-nominating. Go over it with a fine-tooth comb, make sure there's nothing you've missed. Maybe ask someone from WP:TV to take a look, or ask for a peer review before re-nominating. KV5 ( Talk  •  Phils ) 16:02, 22 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Huh, I thought it'd won. I didn't take a closer look. I don't see why any color or symbols are needed; the list already says who got 1st, 2nd, 3rd, so why emphasize it more? And, likewise, the only time a footnote is required already has a symbol, it doesn't need special color either. --Golbez (talk) 16:02, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of Poses (album)
The article Poses (album) you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold. The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needed to be addressed. If these are fixed within seven days, the article will pass, otherwise it will fail. See Talk:Poses (album) for things needed to be addressed.  C  anniba loki  03:29, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

Hello fellow WikiProject Oregon member, once again time for the Collaboration of the Week in the land of Oregon.

Greetings to WikiProject Oregon folks. It is time again for another installment of as the Collaboration Of The Week Turns. A big thank you to last time’s guest stars who worked on Oregon tax revolt‎ and creating hospital articles, we had 3 DYKs off the hospital articles createdd. This week is the star-studded affair of the Semi-annual Great Oregon Picture Drive, starring. You can go out and take a picture, browse through Commons for an existing one, or search for a free one on the Internet, and in some cases remove an old request (or even add a request to an article that has no images).

Hey AB, thanks for your note. I'll hopefully have time later today to have a look at the list and give you my opinion on where it stands. Cheers. The Rambling Man (talk) 15:57, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

PayLess at Sprouse-Reitz for your G.I. Joe's, brought to you by Troutman's Emporium and Frederick & Nelson
Hello WikiProject Oregon member, and seasons greetings. Here at Collaboration Of The Week we thank you for your efforts making Oregon better, at least on Wikipedia, and hope you are doing better than Joe's. Or, in the eloquent words of some marketing manager for another now defunct Oregon chain, ''Merry Christmas from PayLess... Merry Chriiiistmaaaasssss!!!''

Now that pleasantries have been exchanged, thank you to those who worked on the last two collaborations, the Semi-annual Great Oregon Picture Drive, and Oregon Country Fair and Geoff Petrie. For this edition of the COTW we have Gambling in Oregon and NRHP in Washington County. The hope for the later is to fill in the last few images (5) and then see if we can make it the first NRHP list in Oregon with an article for every entry (need 27).

Cannabis in California, 2010 initiatives
The page seems to be a stub, a mess, and started up and abandoned in October. Much has happened since, of course, and is there someone who knows the subject well enough to fix the page, make it readable, and retitle it? Thanks. Aleister Wilson (talk) 20:52, 20 December 2009 (UTC)
 * I didn't realize the listing of the politicians was so new. Well done! I won't dabble into it any more than I've done for now. I tried to find unlinked publications and publishers, but you've caught almost all of them. Happy Solstice, Festivus, and Christmas, and I must retire to my porch to join ole Abe. Aleister Wilson (talk) 21:34, 20 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Good to meet you. Quick work on the California page. I would assume as the initiative nears that people will search Wikipedia for data concerning it, its history, and activities. The Oregon page looks very good, and I'll read it soon. As a side note, I tried to find out months ago if the Lincoln bible Obama used at the swearing-in was made from hemp, couldn't find the data.

One last time for 2009
Happy New Year to you, you WikiProject Oregon member! Tis the season for one last Collaboration Of The Week to get started this year. Thank you to those who worked on Gambling in Oregon and NRHP in Washington County the last few weeks. For the final COTW of 2009, we have Archiving Article Talk Pages and Mr. Standard TV & Appliance, Bill Schonely. For the archiving, we have a lot of old, stale comments on article talk pages from before 2009 that should be archived away, so that new comments are not added to things that either were addressed or not worth addressing. Personally, I archive anything older than a year. Anyway, click here to opt out of these messages, or click here to make a suggestion for a future COTW. Adios.

Just Out, COTW does well in new decade
Howdy WikiProject Oregon folks, time again for the latest installment of As the Collaboration Of The Week Turns. Last week was one of the more successful COTWs in recent memory as we really worked hard as a community to improve Concordia University and Berry Botanic Garden. Both are now at least C class articles and nicely illustrated (thanks to Tedder, Finetooth, and Ipoellet). Plus it really was a group effort as we had five different WPORE editors work on the garden and ditto with the school, with some overlap between the two.

Anyway, this week, we have by request the completely unrelated Just Out and Terrell Brandon. As always, click here to opt out of these messages, or click here to make a suggestion for a future COTW. This message paid for by Fooians against COTW killing taxes. Aboutmovies (talk) 09:33, 30 January 2010 (UTC)

Drug maps
The thing with map updates is that changes trickle down only slowly, except when a new map thumb (at a different size) is generated from the data. Where the map is embetted the images sizes are unchanged so it takes time before the png is replaced, but don't worry, it'll happen in time (unless something else is going wrong). As for the legal status of the drug, it seems like every time I open digg the people have posted another thing about legalization, but I'm not terribly familar - however, I can see certain similarities to legal statuses for gay people with how legalization is working itself through the system. I put the Commons and Wiki maps on my watchlist, but I can't really edit svgs either in case that is needed, sorry, but I'll keep an eye on them for vandals and if anyone wants my two cents on changes.

Request Photo Tag
Hey - Do you really not know how to add photo requests? If that's the case, let me know and I'll step you through it. If I misread you, I don't want to write it out and be accidentally condescending ;-) Your photos look good, BTW. Better than how they'd look right now, since the trees are all bare. tedder (talk) 04:55, 27 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the compliment, and for your help with expanding the Tanner Springs Park article. I look forward to expanding the additional park stubs I started. Actually, I am not familiar with how to add tags for photo requests, though I am sure some browsing over at WikiProject Oregon or even a quick Google search for "Wikipedia photo request" would provide the answer. Don't go out of your way to show me how to do it, but if you know of a quick link with the answer, I'd be interested. Thanks again, and keep up the great work! -- Another Believer ( Talk ) 05:04, 27 February 2010 (UTC)


 * No worries. So you add reqphoto to the project tag. In other words, becomes something like  . The location can vary- the documentation is at Template:WikiProject Oregon. So "Portland", or "Salem", "Eugene", "North Cascades", "Central Coast", etc. tedder (talk) 05:10, 27 February 2010 (UTC)

Hi Another Believer, after seeing one of your articles at New Page Patrol, I was surprised to see that an editor who contributes such interesting well written articles hadn't already been approved as an Autoreviewer.

Oregon COTW and randomness
Greetings fellow WikiProject Oregon member, it is once again time for the Collaboration of the Week (yes, I know they are not actually every week anymore). Thank you to those who helped out the last few weeks improving Terrell Brandon, Just Out, 75th Oregon Legislative Assembly, and all the unreferenced BLPs. This week we have by request Oregon Coast Aquarium and Arvydas Sabonis (maybe the Blazers can sign him as I think he's healthy). Both need more sourcing. As always, click here to opt out of these messages, or click here to make a suggestion for a future COTW. And remember folks, the only thing we have to fear is death and taxes, unless of course the dingo ate your baby, at which point you may feel the need, the for speed to get away from said dingos, which in turn can lead to a failure to communicate due to the dynamics of sound waves, though at some point hopefully we can all just get along.

Grammy Awards FLCs
Hi. I noticed that you currently have two Grammy Award FLCs running, Featured list candidates/Grammy Award for Best Male Rock Vocal Performance/archive1 and Featured list candidates/Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Album/archive1. Please note that the FLC instructions state that "users should not add a second FL nomination until the first has gained support and reviewers' concerns have been substantially addressed." In addition, because both lists are similar in format, reviewers are further taxed since the same issues may appear in both articles. I'm not saying you need to withdraw either FLC, but please keep this in mind for the future. Thanks, Dabomb87 (talk) 01:27, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

You are now a Reviewer
Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Karanacs (talk) 17:06, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

 * Don't worry... let's keep the good work! Jaespinoza (talk) 01:34, 2 September 2010 (UTC)

You are certainly welcome on both counts. I enjoyed the article, and I'm enjoying the park photo shoots. The weather has certainly been cooperating. I got some more Saturday and this evening (Monday) but haven't processed them yet. Finetooth (talk) 03:43, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

Signpost "Features and admins" column
Hi Another Believer,

The Signpost's "Features and admins" page now includes a "Choice of the week" for featured articles, featured lists and featured pictures. Each week, The Signpost invites a different delegate, reviewer or nominator from each process to select what they think is the best, or their favourite, item, and to give their reasons. These reasons can be technical (e.g., related to the criteria) or subjective, or both.

Would you be willing to do this with featured lists for next week’s edition? If you agree, promotions from Saturday 28 August to Friday 3 September will be eligible. They will be listed here by Saturday UTC, and we would need your text by Sunday UTC. Examples from previous weeks are accessible by clicking on "← PREVIOUS Features and admins" at the bottom. Cheers, Dabomb87 (talk) 22:50, 1 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Sure thing! I'd be happy to help with this task! -- Another Believer ( Talk ) 23:20, 1 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Thank you! Don't worry about remembering; I'll remind you when it's ready :) Dabomb87 (talk) 23:22, 1 September 2010 (UTC)
 * OK, it's ready for you. Leave your comment after the sentence "We asked regular FL nominator Another Believer..." (also, if you could clarify whether you are male or female, that would be much appreciated). Thanks again, Dabomb87 (talk) 15:25, 4 September 2010 (UTC)

Fremont mistake
I wrote Fremont into the image file name by mistake because Irving Park is on Fremont Street. I don't know how to fix the file name. Is there an easy way to fix it? I could re-upload the same image under a different name, but the old image would still be on the Commons. Finetooth (talk) 03:27, 2 September 2010 (UTC)
 * I added a rename template to the file, so hopefully an administrator will rename the image soon. -- Another Believer ( Talk ) 15:39, 2 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks a bunch for helping clean that up. I've sometimes had second thoughts about some of my file names but had not discovered the "rename" template. Commons (like a lot of things) is still a bit of a mystery to me in its inner workings. At your suggestion, I added a note to the image page at the Commons and attached my sig. Thanks for the kind words about the photos; I like yours too, and the list is coming along nicely. Finetooth (talk) 16:44, 2 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Wow! That was impressively fast. Thank you again. Finetooth (talk) 01:50, 3 September 2010 (UTC)

Portal:Björk
Hi. I've had to remove Portal:Björk from Portal:Contents/Portals/Culture and the arts, because it is currently too incomplete. Portals should not be added to that main list until they have the required elements at a minimum. (see Portal guidelines and Portal/Instructions for details). A decent portal is a major endeavor, and should take quite a few hours to build. HTH. -- Quiddity (talk) 21:53, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
 * No problem! Sorry for the pre-mature addition to the directory. Hopefully we can get the Portal up to speed very soon. -- Another Believer ( Talk ) 21:56, 13 September 2010 (UTC)

Featured list candidates/List of awards and nominations received by The Bill/archive1
Hi Another Believer, can you revisit this FLC when you get the chance to ensure your comment has been addressed? Also, if possible, can you declare whether you support, oppose, or are neutral toward the list's promotion to FL status? Thanks, Dabomb87 (talk) 21:23, 24 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Dabomb, I am currently in San Francisco working at Wikipedia's Screen Sprint event. I have no opinion on the matter at the moment (I have not even looked at the list since my initial comment), though I may try to follow up later. I apologize for the timing. -- Another Believer ( Talk ) 18:46, 25 September 2010 (UTC)

Grammy Award for Best Polka Album
Sure - happy to be of help. I think I'd go ahead and leave the main article in all three for now; better to over-categorize than under-categorize. Someone can always come in and tweak it later. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 18:57, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

Re: Grammy List
Hi there, Sorry if I sounded really harsh. I was personally involved in the discussions through the implementation of WP:ACCESS but I can confirm that it is now a firm part of the Manual of Style and therefore any new article wishing to achieve FL status must follow the highest and best standards which means adhering to all aspects of MoS including WP:ACCESS and in particular, in this case, the new code/format for WP:Wikitables. Some users may not understand the need to do so, allow me to take a few moments to explain. The new changes are a non-negotiable requirement designed to improve accessibility and readability. It allows users who are using Assistant software such as screen readers to effectively navigate the article effectively and efficiently. While understand your disappointment (because of the inconsistency with previous such articles) I would first commend you for making so many excellent contributions but you must make the changes required by my comments.

It is part of the evolution of Wikipedia to create a more readable and usable experience. FLs need to generally focus the actual requirements of FL and less on what people did in the past because like I said technology has changed and things have to be updated. I don't have any authority to force you to comply however it is more of a consideration in that the changes are designed to make things easier for those hard of sight, and those using reader assistive software. For more information visit WP:ACCESS. Equally you can ask me for more guidance or an example if you're still unsure. But I mean this with the greatest possible integrity... the changes need to be made. Older articles will eventually have to be updated to and I suspect eventually that articles could be demoted if they flunk on this part of MOS considering that its quite a big issue. I hope this hasn't come across as arsey or stuck up. I genuinely am here to help and part of that was my mass notification of this issue for other FL candidates, of which I'm probably halfway through. --  Lil_℧niquℇ №1 &#124;  talk2me  19:29, 19 October 2010 (UTC)
 * -- Another Believer ( Talk ) 20:08, 19 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes of course... give me a few moments and I'll knock together an example in my sandbox for you along with the correct code. --  Lil_℧niquℇ №1 &#124;  talk2me  20:37, 19 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Thank you so much! I am looking forward to learning something new so that I can incorporate it into other lists properly. -- Another Believer ( Talk ) 20:38, 19 October 2010 (UTC)
 * No problem. Ok if you take a look at User:Lil-unique1/Sandbox/4 I've done an example. So you have the old format, the new format, the code for the new format and then a list of key difference to hopefully show why the changes are necessary. --  Lil_℧niquℇ №1 &#124;  talk2me  20:53, 19 October 2010 (UTC)
 * You can copy the code and then simply modify each entry as required. I understand that the changes can be confusing so where I can make it simpler for people I will but so long as they understand what's going on. --  Lil_℧niquℇ №1 &#124;  talk2me  20:56, 19 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Original table


 * New accessible example


 * Code for new example


 * Key differences
 * All columns start with,, this allows screen readers to understand that they are reading downwards (columns).
 * All rows start with , this allows screen readers to understand that they are reading across (rows).
 * This also automatically shades and emboldens the first column. This is deliberate and other formatting will not work.
 * text is replaced with text as small tags produce text at 75% which is not accessible but a minimum 85% is.

Copying code from Lil_℧niquℇ's sandbox so that I can study it and incorporate it into future lists. Thanks a million for the assistance! Your willingness to help is much appreciated. -- Another Believer ( Talk ) 21:02, 19 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Not a problem my friend. I could have said "this is the problem fix it" but where's the spirit of Wikipedia in that? No problem I was simply going to move my sandbox to User:Another Believer/Accessible tables so the example was there for you to save you copying the code on your talk page but its up to you if you'd rather have it here. If you drop me a note when you've converted the article in question and I'll stop by to change my oppose to support. In the meantime in between my studies as a university student, I will make my way through the other FL candidates and make a little note of the MoS observations there too. A pleasure working with you and I applaud your good attitude towards what is sometimes a difficult thing to change. I also applaud your spirit and approach to all this. Much thanks and keep up the hard work. As always if I can be of help just drop me a message on my talk page and I'll reply as soon as I am able to. --  Lil_℧niquℇ №1 &#124;  talk2me  21:11, 19 October 2010 (UTC)
