Progress updated
Hi - hope you haven't got stuck under a pile of boxes ! I think I've got cats coming out my ears myself! Don't worry - haven't forgotten the intros - but I thought nav boxes too distracting - hey lets navigate by categories... and then realized how much tidying up, sob. I think I'm getting somewhere Category:Wikipedia help is feeling more healthy, hopefully we can then point users to navigate around help using these cats.. and all will be well with the world.

GA reassessment of University of California, Santa Cruz
I have conducted a reassessment of the above article as part of the GA  Sweeps process. I have found some concerns which you can see at Talk:University of California,  Santa Cruz/GA1. I have placed the article on hold whilst these are fixed. Thanks. Jezhotwells (talk) 15:47, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

A little update
Had a headache enducing bash at help categories a little while ago, and been focused on an article I've contributed a lot to appearing on the main page, a few bits to tidy up on that ( and some on cats too) hopefully I can get focused to integrate the easy intros more completely soon, hope all is well.

talk page of AIDS denialism
Just to let you know: I plan to remove clear talk page violations from the AIDS denialism page. After being away from Wikipedia since August, I'm amazed that certain denialist agenda editors continue to waste so much of your (and everyone's) valuable time with fruitless debate. Please object and discuss if you disagree with my position, but I strongly oppose the abuse of Wikipedia as a publicity tool for extreme fringe ideas and feel that a hard line on violations is warranted.

Kotohira Jinsha v. McGrath
Hi, sorry I have been away from Wikipidia for a while and starting to get back into the groove.

Anyway, after an accumulative annoyance of that “mosque near ground zero” fuss attempting to make a comparison to Pearl Harbor. I found a little known court case known as Kotohira Jinsha v. McGrath, lost in the pages of history involving a Shinto shrine I passed nearly every day.

I need another set of eyes

From the information gathered, I found a timeline to be an efficient way of organizing the information, but is it the best?

J. D. Sumner article
I believe the J. D. Sumner article needs a picture of him, and sure enough I found a good one. It's on the Facebook community page about him, so what usage policies would it fall under? Gigogag (talk) 21:44, 31 January 2012 (UTC)

The Great Revival: CVU Vandalism Studies Project
Hi! We're dropping you this rather unexpected message on your talk page because you signed up (either quite a while ago or rather recently) to be a member of the Vandalism Studies project. Sadly, the project fell into semi-retirement a few years ago, but as part of a new plan to fix up the Counter-Vandalism Unit, we're bringing back the Vandalism Studies project, with a new study planned for Late 2012! But we need your help. Are you still interested in working with us on this project? Then please sign up today! (even if you signed up previously, you'll still need to sign up again - we're redoing our member list in order to not harass those who are no longer active on the Wiki - sorry!) If you have any questions, please leave them on this page. Thanks, and we can't wait to bring the project back to life! -Theopolisme (talk) & Dan653 (talk), Coordinators
