Hyphenation
Pleas note that the Wikipedia Manual of Style, in WP:HYPHEN, specifies that "A hyphen is not used after a standard -ly adverb (a newly available home, a wholly owned subsidiary) unless part of a larger compound (a slowly-but-surely strategy)." Cheers! Chris the speller  yack  15:37, 31 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the clarification, although as a copy editor I'd sure (surely?) change "a slowly-but-surely strategy" to "slow-but-sure" (less clunky, and fewer ys :-)). All the best,  Miniapolis  ( talk ) 17:35, 31 October 2012 (UTC)

New Page for Copy Editing
Hi Miniapolis,

I've just written up a new wiki article on asymmetric hydrogenation. I know that that's not an area of expertise for you but I would really appreciate it if you could come by and have a read. I've noticed that I became quite choppy in sections (possibly as I tried to alternate between writing and citing) and while I've tried to fix what I have found a new perspective is always valuable.

Thanks for the consideration! Bmalbrecht (talk) 00:00, 30 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Glad to help; I'll take a look at it tomorrow (if we still have power with Hurricane Sandy :-)). All the best,  Miniapolis  ( talk ) 00:21, 30 October 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the help! I have one more question if you don't mind. Do you think that it fits the criteria for a featured article at this point or is there some way that I should improve it so that it does so? Bmalbrecht (talk) 12:42, 1 November 2012 (UTC)
 * I don't have much experience with featured-article candidates, since I've only been an active editor for a couple of years; I think it's close, but not quite there yet. You may want to list it at WP:WikiProject Chemistry/Peer review and read this. So far it hasn't been assessed at all, and mine is the only comment at peer review. As I mentioned, my chief concern is that it may be too technical (see #7) for FA right now, and I don't know if articles are promoted from unassessed to FA or have to go "through the ranks" to some extent. Hope this helps. Good luck and all the best,  Miniapolis  ( talk ) 17:30, 1 November 2012 (UTC)

This is not a newsletter
This is just a tribute.

Anyway. You're getting this note because you've participated in discussion and/or asked for updates to either the Article Feedback Tool or Page Curation. This isn't about either of those things, I'm afraid ;p. We've recently started working on yet another project: Echo, a notifications system to augment the watchlist. There's not much information at the moment, because we're still working out the scope and the concepts, but if you're interested in further updates you can sign up here.

In addition, we'll be holding an office hours session at 21:00 UTC on Wednesday, 14 November in #wikimedia-office - hope to see you all there :). I appreciate it's an annoying time for non-Europeans: if you're interested in chatting about the project but can't make it, give me a shout and I can set up another session if there's enough interest in one particular timezone or a skype call if there isn't. Thanks! Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 11:09, 10 November 2012 (UTC)

UFC 148 flags need to be added back
The UFC is an international competition, thats why the flags are listed in the tale of the tape and wikipedia. Just like boxing and kickboxing. JonnyBonesJones (talk) 09:13, 22 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Although competitors from a number of countries participate in the UFC, I think it differs from international competitions like the FIFA World Cup or the Olympic Games; the competitors do not represent their countries. Per MOS:FLAG, "Do not emphasize nationality without good reason. Wikipedia is not a place for nationalistic pride." All the best,  Miniapolis  ( talk ) 15:19, 22 November 2012 (UTC)

WikiProject Wikify: November Newsletter and December Drive

Hello, just letting you know I removed the prod from the above article as I believe the subject is notable because he is a member of parliament. I also added a couple of references. Thank you. Rotten regard (talk) 01:16, 29 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks; in that case, I'll copyedit it and try to address the other issues. All the best,  Miniapolis  ( talk ) 01:46, 29 November 2012 (UTC)
