The editors in question are behaving unusually can you monitor that talk page? Lagoonaville (talk) 01:13, 2 December 2014 (UTC)
 * What talk page? Please provide a link, since I don't think you're referring to the Signpost. All the best,  Mini  apolis  02:05, 2 December 2014 (UTC)


 * Ah, I guess you mean Talk:Barelvi. It looks like a civil discussion of the reliability of sources, except for your . You've submitted your draft revision with sources, and should wait for the other editors concerned to respond; be sure to mark only minor edits as minor. All the best,  Mini  apolis  02:27, 2 December 2014 (UTC)

I see on your talk page that you don't accept direct copy-edit requests. But, can you kindly help me by saying whether you know anyone with knowledge of the subject who can copy-edit the article. Thank you. Thamizhan1994 (Appo Pesu) 03:35, 2 December 2014 (UTC)
 * My fellow GOCE coordinator is copyediting the article, and will do a fine job. All the best,  Mini  apolis  23:37, 2 December 2014 (UTC)

Ford Island
A note to significant contributors to the Ford Island article: its been nominated for promotion to Good article status. The nomination is listed at Good article nominations - Geography. Thanks for your work to improve the article! NorthAmerica1000 12:17, 13 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Update: Removed GA nomination template from the talk page. Per User:TParis, the article is already under A-class review at WikiProject Military history/Assessment/Ford Island. NorthAmerica1000 04:25, 14 September 2014 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

 * Glad to help. Good luck with GA and all the best,  Mini  apolis  02:44, 4 December 2014 (UTC)

Template:LOCErequest / Template:LOCEcomplete / Template:LOCEproof / Template:LOCErefuse / Template:LOCEdenied / Template:LOCE
I plan to take this to WP:DRV if you don't plan to either restore this template, or clean up Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:LOCErequest and Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:LOCEcomplete and Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:LOCEproof and Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:LOCErefuse and Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:LOCEdenied and Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:LOCE. the correct action would to be substitute first, then delete. 198.102.153.2 (talk) 16:23, 18 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Feel free, but I don't understand why you feel that DRV is necessary. The League of Copy Editors became the Guild of Copy Editors several years ago, with the LOCE tags replaced by GOCE ones (hence the G6).  Mini  apolis  17:32, 18 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Apparently someone mass-tagged these pages long ago. I'll clean them up, time permitting.  Mini  apolis  17:40, 18 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Sorry, these were my first template deletions. I don't know if they're substitutable, and am waiting for advice from Diannaa.  Mini  apolis  18:33, 18 December 2014 (UTC)
 * I've restored them, and my apologies for the inconvenience.  Mini  apolis  19:00, 18 December 2014 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Arad1.jpg


A tag has been placed on File:Arad1.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image page for a missing or corrupt image or an empty image description page for a Commons-hosted image.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Stefan2 (talk) 21:30, 20 December 2014 (UTC)
 * I didn't upload the image; I moved it to File:Arad1WTC.jpg to disambiguate it from a different file with the same name on Commons, and left a redirect.  Mini  apolis  22:08, 20 December 2014 (UTC)

Does Ngejot ✅--DThomsen8 (talk) 02:28, 20 December 2014 (UTC) count as done on the last day, and therefore would show in the progress for that day?--DThomsen8 (talk) 00:45, 21 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Yes it counts; you did the work, you deserve the credit. :-) Cheers, Baffle gab1978 (talk) 01:19, 21 December 2014 (UTC)
