Welcome Menu
Hi again. I noticed you manually greet new users that you create with the welcome-menu. I too like that menu because of it's robust list of links and policies which users can easily keep around for future reference. A while back I created wmnc (short for WelcomeMenuNoContribs) which you may find more appropriate since the regular welcomemenu says "thank you for your contributions". Using will give essentially the same menu, but the "thanks for your contribs" section is replaced with "as you are getting started" or something to that effect. Feel free to use it if you find it helpful, or feel free to improve the wording in the template as needed. Regards, 7  02:29, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

GOCE /Copyedit Van Morrison
Hi Mlpearc. I've recently nominated the Van Morrison album His Band and the Street Choir for featured article status, but I've been advised to ask someone from the guild of copyeditors to copyedit the article because the prose isn't up to scratch. Would you be able to look through the article for improvements to the prose if thats ok? Cheers Kitchen roll (talk) 20:35, 21 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Ok many thanks Kitchen roll (talk) 21:25, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

Some people went to a concert on a greyhound bus ? I am informing you at this time I am compiling the edits we went through the last two or three times, if you replace those edits without any references to this happening and references to why this trip on a bus and the people involved is encyclopedic and relevant to this article I will report your edits to ANI.

Hi there, I noticed you've done some work on building this area Here, I'm trying to build my user page and programming is not one of my strong points.

CSD
You really want to be careful reverting blankings of articles by their creators. Sometimes they see the CSD tag and believe they are doing the right thing by blanking the content (and most times they are), then the content is re-added and they receive a warning on their user talk. It can be very confusing for them. I appreciate all your hard work, just be a bit more careful. See ya 'round  Tide  rolls  00:09, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

AfC
Just to let you know... the AfC submission you're reviewing, "List of Minor Highlander (Film) characters" isn't going to be updated by the submitter as they've been blocked for repeated vandalism.

I happened to see it having submitted a (granted) category create request yesterday, and browsing other pending submissions saw a previous version they submitted under a slightly different title. It was put on hold yesterday by the other reviewer, and, since it was an okay movie, I made small changes (1 edit) to insert a reference plus link/spelling tidying. I had look a look today to see if it was created or not and saw the newly-created duplicate in the pending category. I was going to make a null edit to point to the earlier submission and say the cleanups can be migrated to the new one as reviewer/nominator desire, but then saw the submitter had been blocked.

Looking around, one of the minor characters listed in the AfC submission was created as a standalone article by someone recently blocked as a sockpuppet, and whose talkpage shows the same focus on minor characters in the Highlander franchise as well as same interest in the soap Eastenders; the sockmaster account was active at AfC.

Almost certainly, if covered at all, the minor characters would be covered in the List of Highlander characters article, as the person who took a related list to featured status merged/redirected a bunch of lists (List of Highlander movies minor Immortals, of Highlander Immortals, Characters of Highlander Movies, Characters of Highlander Series, etc) a year or two ago.

The submission (both) can probably be declined and possibly deleted as created by a block evading sock. It's up to you if you want to merge the information/fixes from the two into the List of Highlander characters article, of course; it's not something I'm interested in myself as I'm unwilling to take responsibility for verifying content of a blocked/banned user. Anyway, just thought I'd let you know since I saw you'd made fixes to it just as I did yesterday, so you didn't waste your time. I'll leave it with you and wash my hands of it! Thanks, 92.30.83.244 (talk) 21:30, 2 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Ugh sorry - took too long typing that I guess as it's since been created. Ah well I'll leave it in your hands. Regards, 92.30.83.244 (talk) 21:32, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

Reviewer permission
Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes 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. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

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. HJ Mitchell &#124;  Penny for your thoughts?   23:29, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

World of Warcraft Page Edits
Colloquially, you are correct in your usage of the term "Outlands" in reference to the former Orc homeworld of Draenor. Technically and specifically; however, the correct spelling of the name is "Outland", as per Blizzard Entertainment's website (http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/burningcrusade/townhall/outland.html).

A lot of people that play the game mistakenly refer to "Outland" as "Outlands". It is common.

Assistance needed in deleting a section
I came here via the list of highly active users. I have a question about deleting a section, rather than an article. I want to be sure to go about it the correct way. I have posted a proposal comment on the talk page at Human trafficking. However, I would like to know if there is a specific procedure to flag or something like that. Many questions and comments on the talk page are very old and lack a response. I don't want to arbitrarily delete the section without consensus. I have nothing against the NGOs listed, my goal is simply to improve the article according to the guidelines established by Wikipedia. Thank you. Cindamuse (talk) 01:49, 7 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Hello Cindamuse, I have had a had a proposal and it looks like you have a very good start, I am not familar with the topic but you r format is just fine. here is a link to the one i had a few months ago. Here. Again your format and approach is just fine, I would now add a section for 1.Discussion, and 2.support (for editors to show they support your proposal. and 3.Oppose for those who don't. Give 5 or 6 days depending on the response the topic is receiving, longer if the discussions continues. Then at a respectable time you'll have to go with the outcome. be sure to respond to any questions asked in defense of your proposal. If you need any further help please do not hesitate to ask, good luck.  Mlpearc   powwow  03:27, 7 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Thank you for your response. I added the sections and will wait to see what happens. Cindamuse (talk) 03:40, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, I've seen it. I haven't had the energy to look through it all but I've looked at a few random changes. The article needed copy-editing anyway. I'll go through it sooner and later & clean it up. Hope all is well. J04n(talk page) 19:58, 12 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Thank you for your reply, I also been lazy and working on a new wiki site. I feel better knowing someone else is aware of the changes. I also went through some random edits and most didn't shoot red rockets in the air, but I couldn't imagine that many edits in a short time to a established article could be all good.

Incorrect closure of ACC Request 50113
I noticed that you incorrectly closed ACC Request 50113 as "Too Similar" due to the similar name being less than 6 months old. The similar name was actually just over 6 months old (by 1 day). As such I have created the account. Please be more careful when assessing requests in the future. Fun Pika  10:35, 15 July 2010 (UTC)
