Two Years On Wiki
Tomorrow will be two years on wikipedia for me. Between my two accounts, and, I will have made enough edits to be a "veteran editor," if you like the service awards. Its strange to think about how much has changed since then --Guerillero &#124; My Talk  05:00, 4 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Congratulations. I'd have a cake delivered, but it's really hard to ship pastries internationally. :D Keep up the good work.  S ven M anguard   Wha?  05:40, 4 November 2011 (UTC)

Need your help with cleanup
Hi Guerillero! You had left a message on this talk page that you'd be willing to take on cleaning up some articles from the Pune education pilot if you were given a list to work through. Thank you so much for your willingness to help in this regard! We can most definitely use your help with cleanup. Would you mind going to this list of students and taking charge of the student articles that have "IN NEED" next to them in these two classes: "Indian Banking and Financial Systems Year 2 Group A" and "Computer Organization and Advanced Microprocessing"? When I say "cleanup," I mean going through the articles and removing any copyright violations, uncited content, bad English grammar, and in general hard-to-fix poor content from the articles. If you do not have time to handle all the articles I mentioned above (which is totally understandable), just pick a subset of them. Please be sure to replace "IN NEED" with your username when you've checked/cleaned an article. Thank you so much - your help is MUCH appreciated!

Future of the US Education Program and the Ambassador Project
You may already have the page on watch, but just in case, there's an interesting discussion about the future and the growth of the US education program along with the future of the Wikipedia Ambassador Project here. Best, Voceditenore (talk) 07:40, 18 November 2011 (UTC)

About my userpage diff on Future Perfect
I'm not sure if you ever been to Future Perfect's own userpage, but he actually has the exact same infobox on his userpage even before I did. Like many of you, I perceived it to be a personal attack against me but he declined to remove it even after Bishonen tried to talk him into removing it. Please refrain from double standard. You are certainly entitled to your opinion on my candidacy but please know the whole story before pointing fingers. Thank you!--NWA.Rep (talk) 22:23, 21 November 2011 (UTC)
 * 1) Two wrongs doesn't make a right, that's a really, really crappy argument.
 * 2) Future Perfect isn't running for ArbCom. You are.
 *  S ven M anguard  Wha?  03:27, 22 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much Sven. You said everything I wanted to. NWA.Rep, this only raises my concerns about you. The fact that you can't take responsibility for your own userpage is troubling--Guerillero &#124; My Talk  05:28, 23 November 2011 (UTC)

Roll a D6
It's a parody that has never been released to retailers, pratically unencyclopedic. It's already been completely merged into Like a G6, I honestly find it quite useless now.  ×º°”˜ `”°º× ηυηzια  ×º°”˜ `”°º×  13:11, 23 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Unencyclopedic? Yes. Worth watching? Hell yes.  S ven M anguard   Wha?  14:50, 23 November 2011 (UTC)
 * It has been covered by more RSes then many other stubs. It has enough citations to pass the WP:GNG jut because you may not like it isn't a reason it merge it. --Guerillero &#124; My Talk  17:40, 23 November 2011 (UTC)
 * I was unaware of its coverage. If it has been covered by reliable third party sources, then yes, it's a web phenomenon, and is no less worthy of an article than Nyan cat.  S ven M anguard   Wha?  02:46, 24 November 2011 (UTC)

One question
I left you a question underneath my former one. Unfortunately i left it before questions you already answered to keep my questions together but you missed it. (Don't worry I'll take the blame ;) Could you please answer it? Thanks, -- Kangaroo powah  19:26, 25 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the notification. I'm not sure how to answer it quite yet. --Guerillero &#124; My Talk  04:18, 26 November 2011 (UTC)

PROJECT NEWS

WikiProject Conservatism faces the ultimate test

 By Lionelt On October 7, WikiProject Conservatism was nominated for deletion by member Binksternet. He based his rationale on what he described as an undefinable scope, stating that the project is "at its root undesirable". Of the 40 participants in the discussion, some agreed that the scope was problematic; however, they felt it did not justify deletion of the project. A number of participants suggested moving the project to "WikiProject American conservatism". The overwhelming sentiment was expressed by Guerillero who wrote: "A project is a group of people. This particular group does great work in their topic area[,] why prevent them from doing this[?]" In the end there was negligible opposition to the project and the result of the discussion was "Keep". The proceedings of the deletion discussion were picked up by The Signpost, calling the unfolding drama "the first MfD of its kind". The Signpost observed that attempting to delete an active project was unprecedented. The story itself became a source of controversy which played out at the Discuss This Story section, and also at the.

Two days after the project was nominated, the Conservatism Portal was also nominated for deletion as "too US-biased". There was no support for deletion amongst the 10 participants, with one suggestion to rename the portal. In other news, a new portal focusing on conservatism has been created at WikiSource. Wikisource is an online library of free content publications with 254,051 accessible texts. One highlight of the portal's content is Reflections on the Revolution in France by Edmund Burke.

 October saw a 6.4% increase in new members, bringing the total membership to 58. Seven of the eight new members joined after October 12; the deletion discussions may have played a role in the membership spike. Mwhite148 is a member of the UK Conservative Party. Stating that he is not a conservative, Kleinzach noted his "lifetime interest in British, European and international politics." Let's all make an effort to welcome the new members with an outpouring of Wikilove.

Timeline of conservatism is moved

 By Lionelt Timeline of conservatism, a Top-importance list, was nominated for deletion on October 3. The nominator stated that since conservatism in an "ambiguous concept", the timeline suffers from original research. There were a number of "Delete", as well as "Keep" votes. The closing administrator reasoned that consensus dictated that the list be renamed. The current title is Timeline of modern American conservatism.
