Hi! Do you think C is too low for this? Thanks, Cargoking  talk  17:41, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

ITN archives/2009/November
I know it is early, but I started the page anyway so your work could become a bit easier. Please feel free to complete the page when November is over.. --BorgQueen (talk) 14:06, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Btw are you busy these days? Got a new job? A new date? :-p --BorgQueen (talk) 14:09, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

Belle de Jour
Have you ever watched Secret Diary of a Call Girl? I was completely shocked by Belle de Jour's true identity. Too bad she does not meet ITN criteria! --BorgQueen (talk) 19:56, 15 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Oh my you just nominated it! :-D --BorgQueen (talk) 19:57, 15 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Ok well, let's see how people respond to it. I thought she was only famous in the UK and (perhaps) Ireland. Having said that, Secret Diary of a Call Girl was aired here in South Korea. --BorgQueen (talk) 20:05, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

Favour please
Hi, I'm looking for a favour. I added a section on personal attacks that Pat Kenny has sustained to the article on him. Unfortunately it got reverted, reason given was that it was POV. Could you have a look at it please? I didn't think there were any POV issues but if it needs reworking then I would appreciate your input. Thanks G ain  Line    ♠  ♥ 19:16, 16 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Cheers. My worry was that I might been portraying Kenny too much as a victim and that somehow was POV but I had tried to keep it as factual as possible. I couldn't believe there wasn't more on the attacks so I added it. I try to keep away from the contentious stuff as well, I had my fill of it earlier and theres a lot more satisfaction to be had from other stuff. Never thought that article was one which was as volatile though! G  ain  Line    ♠  ♥ 23:18, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

Are you there
where were you didn't see you seen long.-- '''yousaf465'  02:43, 25 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Swimming. Unfortunately the article and its talk page gives me the impression that people think it is over... -- 13:55, 27 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Where were you swimming? Also, would you like to update the toy show or shall I? Here a few sources if you want them: Jedward, Westlife and wheely excited, Family, Offaly school girls, €17,000 ad, jumpers. Hope something terrible doesn't happen because of the cold and moister, Cargoking  talk  14:35, 27 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, not literally swimming... I've been quite lucky (so far). It is a shame to return to find that Wikipedia states the flooding is over... I think I have some time to do that... -- 14:42, 27 November 2009 (UTC)

Valued pictures and ITN in the WikiCup
Hi. I am contacting you on behalf of the WikiCup judges because you were involved in our previous points polling. Though most of the polls are now closed, we have restarted polls relating to the points value for both valued pictures and in the news entries. You are welcome to submit your votes here; the polls will be closing in a week's time. J Milburn (talk) 19:54, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

There are certain things...
... that are more enjoyable when someone else does them for you... such as making a coffee, massaging, and... you know what I am getting at... :) --BorgQueen (talk) 08:42, 1 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Lovely. :-D --BorgQueen (talk) 09:32, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

2010 WikiCup Signups Reconfirmation!
To ensure that everyone who signed up is still committed to participating in the 2010 WikiCup, it is required that you remove your name from this list! By removing your name, you are not removing yourself from the WikiCup. This is simply a way for the judges to take note of who has not yet reconfirmed their participation. If you have not removed your name from that list by December 30th, 2009 (by 23:59 (UTC)) then your name will be removed from the WikiCup.

It's worth noting the rules have changed, likely after you signed up. The changes made thus far are:
 * Mainspace and/or portal edits will not be awarded points at all.
 * Did you know? articles (which were worth 5 points last year) will now be worth 10 points.
 * Good articles (which were worth 30 points last year) will now be worth 40 points.
 * Valued pictures will be now awarded points, however the amount (5 or 10 points) is still being discussed.
 * Featured lists (which were worth 30 points last year) will now be worth 40 points.
 * Featured portals (which were worth 25 points last year) will now be worth 35 points.
 * Featured articles (which were worth 50 points last year) will now be worth 100 points.
 * Featured topics (which were worth 10 points per article last year) will now be worth 15 points per any article in the topic that you were a major contributor to.
 * Good topics (which were worth 5 points per article last year) will now be worth 10 points per any article in the topic that you were a major contributor to.
 * In the news will still be awarded points, however the amount (5 or 10 points) is still being discussed.

If you have any final concerns about the WikiCup's rules and regulations, please ask them now, before the Cup begins to avoid last minute problems. You may come to the WikiCup's talk page, or any of the judge's user talk pages. We're looking forwards to a great 2010 WikiCup! On behalf of the WikiCup judges,  iMatthew  talk   at 03:41, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

ITN and deaths
Nice work on the latest hook. You'll probably be disgusted to hear this, but I spent about ten minutes comparing previous attacks considering whether to post it or oppose it. I just wasn't sure whether it was big enough or getting enough news coverage, but the fact that they bombed a mosque put it over the edge for me. We had a discussion about this with regards to ferry sinkings a few days back. I don't think we changed each other's views much, but maybe there's still room for useful dialog about it. Cup of tea?--Chaser (talk) 18:54, 5 December 2009 (UTC)
 * I would agree that targeting the mosque probably made it stand out more than anything. I have learned to provide suggestions for hooks as a preventative measure against further delays. ;) Thank you very much for the tea, I hope I wasn't cause for any upset over the ferry sinkings. I think ten minutes is not very much at all when you wish to be careful as tends to be the case with matters concerning the Main Page. -- 19:18, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

HIV on Current events
I have raised the New Zealand HIV item on Portal talk:Current events/2009 December 6. And for the record: I never said that having HIV is trivial and quirky, noone in his right mind would say such a thing. I said that a news item about this is trivial (of little significance or value) and quirky (unusual). 94.212.31.237 (talk) 15:39, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

Re: Liam Clancy
I gave it a C for the moment. Once the and  tags are removed I'd give it a B. Cargoking   talk  17:30, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Could you do a bit of work on Tony Connelly to get to DYK standard? Thanks, Cargoking  talk  20:43, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Not a bother. Enjoy your week! Cargoking  talk  22:36, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

Tony Connelly
I don't think so - maybe a cousin or something. Weird. Cargoking  talk  14:50, 11 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Have you nominated it? Cargoking  talk  21:29, 11 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks. If someone doesn't like that hook you could mention the bit about being sacked on his first day on a construction site. <font style="color:#000080;">Cargoking <font style="color:#f9f9f9;background:#000000;"> talk  22:05, 11 December 2009 (UTC)

It was reported in South Korea, too. Btw, the picture scared me for a second. --BorgQueen (talk) 16:09, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

DYK nominations
Hi, could you have a look at the DYK nomination for the Resadiye shooting? I'm a bit concerned about the clarity of the hook. Ucucha 21:14, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

 * B. I think just general expansion would be nice for Morning Ireland. It's funny how less significant programmes have much larger articles. It's more a shame than funny. <font style="color:#000080;">Cargoking <font style="color:#f9f9f9;background:#000000;"> talk  09:23, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

Second Lady of Nigeria
I saw you added an infobox for Maryam Babangida. I took out the redlink to First Lady of Nigeria for now. The reason is that many Nigerian leaders are polygamous.

The 2010 WikiCup begins tomorrow!
Welcome to the biggest WikiCup Wikipedia has yet seen! Round one will take place over two months, and finish on February 26. There is only one pool, and the top 64 will progress. The competition will be tough, as more than half of the current competitors will not make it to round 2. Details about scoring have been finalized and are explained at WikiCup/Scoring. Please make sure you're familiar with the scoring rules, because any submissions made that violate these rules will be removed. Like always, the judges can be reached through the WikiCup talk pages, on their talk page, or over IRC with any issues concerning anything tied to the Cup. We will keep in contact with you via weekly newsletters; if you do not want to receive them, please remove yourself from the list here. Conversely, if a non-WikiCup participant wishes to receive the newsletters, they may add themselves to that list. Well, enough talk- get writing! Your submission's page is located [at the WikiCup]. Details on how to submit your content is located here, so be sure to check that out! Once content has been recognized, it can be added to your submissions page, from which our bot will update the main score table. Remember that only articles worked on and nominated during the competition are eligible for points. Have fun, and good luck! Garden, iMatthew, J Milburn, and The ed17 19:16, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
