Looking for Wikipedians for a User Study
Hello. I am a graduate student in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Minnesota. We are conducting research on ways to engage content experts on Wikipedia. Previously, Wikipedia started the Adopt-a-User program to allow new users to get to know seasoned Wikipedia editors. We are interested in learning more about how this type of relationship works. Based on your editing record on Wikipedia, we thought you might be interested in participating. If chosen to participate, you will be compensated for your time. We estimate that most participants will spend an hour (over two weeks on your own time and from your own computer) on the study. To learn more or to sign up contact KATPA at CS dot UMN dot EDU or User:KatherinePanciera/WPMentoring. Thanks. KatherinePanciera (talk) 02:37, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

April GA Newsletter

Note this
I was delighted to see from your user page that you dislike "it should be noted that" as much as I do. Thanks for the Google search link; I used it to remove a few and I thought I would share this with you. In years of doing this I have never killed three with one bullet before. That article really needs a complete rewrite. Best wishes, --John (talk) 21:17, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:Rowland_Shovel_Works.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Rowland_Shovel_Works.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Fair use, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following [ this link]. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 21:30, 21 April 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? —  pd_THOR  undefined | 21:30, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

Portal:Current events/2008 April 22
Hey, I removed your edits about Senator Clinton from Portal:Current events/2008 April 22 because what you claimed in the posting doesn't match what the link you provided says. The Times says Clinton trails by 150 delegates, not by 10. Corvus cornix talk  22:00, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I didn't write anything about Clinton. I think you have my edit confused with another editor's.  I also replied on your talk page. Coemgenus 01:25, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Sorry. Never mind.  :)   Corvus cornix  talk  02:49, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

King Billy
Hi, yeah, good job. I agree with you, however, that it still needs work. Particularly the last third of the article. Maybe the sections between 'Rule with Mary' and 'British succession' could be clearer, and some important details are missing, such as Billy's only victory in the NYW at Namur in 95. I may contribute more later next month. Cheers for now. 22:29, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

McCain Peer Review
I just wanted to make sure you're aware that a request has been made for Peer Review of the McCain article.Ferrylodge (talk) 07:53, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

Steve Scalise
Steve Scalise is an American politician and thus his page should use the American date format where a comma seperates the month and day from the year. Please see Manual of Style (dates and numbers).--Dr who1975 (talk) 00:15, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

repeated wiki links
Bonjour cher Coemgenus: Going thru a few articles related to the Bourbon dynasty of France, I notice your name here & there. Hence my writing you on the subject of repeated blue wiki links on dates, personages, cities etc. Once Paris or Louis XIV have been wikilinked, it is enough. Repetition of the process within the same article is unnecessary & disruptive. Is there a rule stating that Paris & others have to be wikilinked every time? Frania W. (talk) 22:13, 12 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Merci Coemgenus for the guideline. What you say makes sense & is in line with what I thought. Bonne journée!  Frania W. (talk) 13:04, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

My RfA
Hi Coemgenus, I wanted to say thank you for supporting my request for adminship, which passed with 100 supports, 0 opposes and 1 neutral. I wanted to get round everybody individually, even though it's considered by some to be spam (which... I suppose it is! but anyway. :)). It means a lot to me that the community has placed its trust in my ability to use the extra buttons, and I only hope I can live up to its expectations. If you need anything, or notice something that bothers you, don't hesitate to let me know. Thanks again, PeterSymonds | talk  23:07, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

John Henry Newman and Oxford Movement
Hi. Thanks for your recent edits to John Henry Newman and Oxford Movement. I noticed you removed lots and lots of date links within those two articles. I can understand removing some of them, but you removed quite a few that would be useful. Perhpas in the future you might want to consider each case individually for whether or not a date link might be useful. Again, thanks for your contributions. Dgf32 (talk) 19:36, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Overlinking in articles is a pet peeve of mine, so I apologize if I was overzealous. The manual of style suggests that stand-alone years need not be linked, but if there's a good reason to link it, it's certainly permitted.  If I've removed one (or more than one) that you think ought to be linked, I won't object to you reverting me.  Coemgenus 19:44, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi Coemgenus. You currently have yourself listed as a participant in the Pennsylvania WikiProject. If you are still active in the project then ignore this message. However if you are busy or no longer wish to be involved, please remove yourself from the list so we can get an updated count on the number of active members. Thank you!

I saw that Raul had scheduled a bunch of them, so I added you back; best check the points. Sandy Georgia (Talk) 16:52, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
