Hi there :)
Just leaving a message to tell you, that Im still alive ;). I was quite busy in real life for a while and then I started to edit articles in the german wikipedia. Probably you've seen that in the German WP a user needs to edit at least 200 different articles before he/she gets "sighter-rights" (I dont know if this is the correct word for it). I finally got that right and I commenced to write a few German articles (but couldnt finish them yet). At the moment Im quite busy with graphical stuff. After I had designed the barnstar I confered to you, I was asked if I can create some more barnstars and thats how I spend my time at the moment. I hope you're fine. With kind regards -- Rectilinium  '♥' 01:27, 4 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Right now, I am working for Editor status on the English Wikinews. An admin advised me to write at least two articles. I have written one. Recently, I have been a bit inactive, however, that habit is reverting soon. BTW, I think Sighter rights is about right; I think that deWP uses that. Hope you liked my amazing barnstar.

In need of your mentorship
Hi,

I need help from an experienced Wikipedian, and I saw your name over at WP:ADOPT.

I need your advice concerning a WikiProject I've been coordinating. Here's the situation:

The project is WP:WPOOK. The set of pages the project concerns is listed at Portal:Contents/Outline of knowledge and WikiProject Outline of knowledge, and has grown to about 500 articles in the encyclopedia. I also run a team of 5 advanced wiki-editors - the team communicates via user talk page posts. We use a variety of tools such as AWB, bots, Linky, etc. to execute tasks on batches of hundreds of pages at a time. Three of the team's members are admins, and 2 of the members have bot accounts. The team works on tasks that I assign, on the OOK and also on problems that the OOK has revealed in the encyclopedia-at-large (reverse outlines are good at that) - we've worked on things as diverse as creating country demonym disambiguation pages, to cleaning up the CIA World Factbook data on country "Demographics of" pages, to renaming "Cuisine of" articles to their demonymic form, to organizing the "Index of x articles" pages, etc. I also send out a newsletter or project update to the team, to the WikiProject members, and to anybody else who has been involved or who has expressed interest (20 to 30 Wikipedians).

So you see, we can implement just about any strategy. But we need more strategies. Your ideas on the following would be greatly appreciated...

The goals of the WikiProject are:


 * 1) Increase awareness of readers of the existence of the outlines on Wikipedia
 * 2) Complete the existing outlines
 * 3) Create an outline for every subject that is exensive enough to benefit from having an outline (core subjects and major or extensive fields).  There are thousands of these.
 * 4) Recruit as many editors to work on these as possible (we need thousands of editors working on these)
 * 5) Surpass portals in number by the end of the summer, and leave them in the dust by the end of the year
 * 6) Get the major outline subject areas displayed on the Main Page (in place of or in addition to the portal links at the top of the page)
 * 7) Increase the OOK to higher quality than Britannica's Outline of Knowledge (published in its Propaedia volume).

We've posted over a thousand banners and notices so far, which resulted in just a couple complaints - one complainer posted at WT:WPOOK & WP:AN & WP:VPP and the other posted at WP:VPR. Not a bad negative feedback level for such a large posting. The complaints went nowhere, as several users came forward in defense of outlines.

I've proposed a 200-Wikiproject contest at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Countries, and I had notices posted on the talk pages of all the corresponding country WikiProjects' talk pages.

I've created some pointers for developing outlines to guide editors through the process of building outline pages, because once many editors are attracted, I won't be able to instruct them one-on-one. I've also been working on a new article for the subject, since the current article is very lacking.

I was hoping you could comment on how to achieve the goals above.

Also I'm interested in every possible way of reaching readers and editors of Wikipedia. How can I get the most eyes and typing fingers on Wikipedia's outlines? Contacting editors directly without a reason relevant to them is spam, which I'd like to avoid. There are 75,000 regular editors on Wikipedia, and I want to contact all of them. So how do I do it? Directly or indirectly, I don't care which, piecemeal or all-at-once, all methods are fine with me. But I've got to find ways. I need your help.

I would also like to know how to find or attract editors to create new outlines. And I need advice on finding editors to help write the new outline article mentioned above (it needs to be fleshed out, completely referenced, and brought to featured article status).

Can you recommend anyone in particular who might be interested in sinking their teeth into a project like this? Or ways to reach groups of editors? Or ways to reach all editors? I welcome any and all advice you might have.

I look forward to your reply on my talk page.

Your Recent Notice To My Talk Page
It would help if you could be descriptive with regard to your remark about my edit being "unconstructive", regarding Spencer Pratt. Simply put, there was only one reference listed, and it was dead. Thus, there was no need for a References section -- and I was in the middle of finding the proper tags to identify the article as needing more sufficient sources when you messaged me. I'm not sure what was unconstructive about the edit whatsoever, since the link was dead and I think you at least owe an explanation since you obviously felt strong enough to provide a warning that was not necessary to begin with. You should be more careful with who's talk pages you litter with warnings that show unwarranted negativity - especially when my editing history has been entirely positive.

A tag has been placed on File:Character Gui Oracle.svg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image page for a missing or corrupt image or an empty image description page for a Commons-hosted image.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay.

obsello page
Hello. I recently nominated the obsello page for review as GA article in an attempt to protect what I think is an important part of the spirits information on wikipedia. I understand your ruling and rushed the page to review in an attempt to gain attention to the page when it was under attack by an industry PR firm. Although he left when confronted, the page is now being threatened by an experienced editor. I do think the page should stay and be edited, and as an absinthe buff can say this is a very important brand. This fact is substantiated by virtually all the industry refrences posible, notable critics, and the NY Times among newspapers.

The editors argument is that the references sighted in the discussion page are not sufficient to justify the relevance of the brand and I feel this could not be further from the truth. I think the page does need work, and was likely written by industry interests. I also think that those facts do not warrant deletion simply an edit. I have volunteered to edit it and been met with hostility. So far I seem to be the only contributor to the absinthe pages or the spirits project involved and I am feeling a bit outgunned here in respect to wikipedia know how. However this editor does not know what he/she is talking about with regard to spirits. He/she argued that important critics and industry authorities were not reliable third party sources and demanded evidence as to the importance of the San Francisco World Spirits Competition. For a person with intimate knowledge of spirits these are illogical ideas. It is like questioning the validity of the oscars and recommending the deletion of a film page. I was wondering what your thoughts were and if you would be willing to weigh in on the page and possible do a bit of homework investigating the validity of the references?Nightcafe1 (talk) 03:14, 2 July 2009 (UTC)


 * From you allusion to the Oscars, I am assuming the San Francisco Worlds Spirits Competition is the Oscars of spirits; I would say this is a reliable source. I am not going to fact check the article. I do not do that on Wikipedia (often; only on subjects I know well). Sorry. I will give you writing advice. Firstly, prose is preferred, rather than lists. Periods (.) go before the citations. When there are many references, using  is also preferred; this makes two columns of references, rather than one very long list. If you have any other editing questions, just ask. Hope this helps. -- The New   Mikemoral  ♪♫ 18:21, 2 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the suggestions. Over the next few weeks I am going to overhaul the page.  I know a lot about spirits but not a ton about editing wikipeda so the tips are useful.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nightcafe1 (talk • contribs) 22:03, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

I don't think that any of you will have a problem focusing on articles for five days, because of course, any work you get done during the Dramaout will count towards your score in the WikiCup. Details are on the page; hope to see you all signing up! :)  iMatthew  talk   at 00:27, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

WP:NODRAMA reminder

Thanks again for your participation! --Jayron32. talk . say no to drama 22:01, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

Hello... I've seen, that you have left a message on my talkpage in June. Please excuse, that I didnt answer earlier! I was (and I still am) in very bad health. I feel very exhausted at the moment, so that Im not able to make any contributions at the moment. I will leave a message when (if) I recover. With kind regards...
