Alanya GA
You did a good job with that article and its GA status is pretty much solely thanks to you!! Therefore,

By the way, have you signed up at all for WikiProject Turkey? Maybe you will be interested. Cheers! Baristarim 16:40, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

Triple Crown


Your Majesty, it gives me great pleasure to bestow these three crowns in recognition of your editing achievements. May you wear them well. Durova Charge! 03:31, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

Alanya panorama FPC
Hi, I listed your image image:Alanya Panorama.jpg at WP:FPC because I think it represents some of wikipedia's finest work. I really liked the way the image captures all the important points about Alanya. If you'd like to comment, the nom is here. Nice work. By the way, were you thinking of listing Alanya at featured article candidates? It might be close to being ready. Jeff Dahl (Talk • contribs) 06:31, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

Spiffier triple crown, new awards available
Hi, I've been sprucing up the triple crown awards. Here's the new version of the standard triple crown you've already earned. Feel free to replace your old one with this if you like the new version better. I've also introduced two new triple crown awards for editors who've done a lot of triple crown work: the Napoleonic and Alexander the Great edition awards. If you're active in a WikiProject, check out the new offer for custom WikiProject triple crowns. I'll make those upon request if five or more editors qualify. See User:Durova/Triple crown winner's circle for more information. Thanks for your hard work, and cheers! Durova Charge! 22:04, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

On behalf of WikiProject VA
It was great having someone with your GA/FA experience leading the effort, and I enjoyed working with you! All that and a barnstar too!-- Kubigula (talk) 23:40, 12 December 2007 (UTC) I just can't believe you beat me to the punch


 * Patrick - as I have little experience with the FA process, I'd be interested to know your prognosis on Virginia getting to FA. My own analysis is that the referencing is now just about up to snuff, but the prose is still a bit uneven.-- Kubigula (talk) 22:57, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

WikiProject NATO
As you may have noticed, the proposal for WikiProject NATO has now attracted 4 participants. That's one short of the suggested 5, but it's close enough, right? In any case, I have now established the most rudimentary of wikiproject pages, WikiProject NATO, and I'd like to invite you to come and officially join as well as helping to get the project rolling. At a bare minimum, we're going to need to design a template and start tagging some articles. I look forward to seeing you around the project! Cool3 (talk) 20:21, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

Virginia

 * Good work indeed, you should be proud. -Ravedave (talk) 16:44, 4 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Thirded. Fantastic job; sorry I wasn't around more to help more.-- Kubigula (talk) 19:15, 4 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Fourthed. If I can count right, there are only 47 more US states to get to FA (would that Pennsylvania's article were half as good). Congrats! Ruhrfisch &gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 20:38, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

You are now a Reviewer
Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection 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.

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. Karanacs (talk) 17:33, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

Autopatrolled
Hello, this is just to let you know that I have granted you the "autopatrolled" permission. This won't affect your editing, it just automatically marks any page you create as patrolled, benefiting new page patrollers. Please remember:
 * This permission does not give you any special status or authority
 * Submission of inappropriate material may lead to its removal
 * You may wish to display the Autopatrolled top icon and/or the User wikipedia/autopatrolled userbox on your user page
 * If, for any reason, you decide you do not want the permission, let me know and I can remove it
 * If you have any questions about the permission, don't hesitate to ask. Otherwise, happy editing! Acalamari 12:02, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Congrats! :) -  Neutralhomer •  Talk  • 23:34, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks! But what is it that give me this privilege? Is it just edit count or to do with the mentoring?-- Patrick, o Ѻ ∞ 00:46, 26 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Hi Patrickneil, the reason you were given this right is because you were on a list of potential candidates for the autopatrolled userright. However, merely being on the list doesn't mean someone automatically gets the userright, rather, they get it because 1. they've created a lot of articles, and 2. their articles are of good quality. As your articles fits that criteria, you got the userright. I hope this answers your question. Best. Acalamari 12:00, 26 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Good stuff then. I appreciate it!-- Patrick, o Ѻ ∞ 15:32, 26 February 2011 (UTC)

Main page appearance
Hello! This is a note to let the main editors of this article know that it will be appearing as the main page featured article on May 14, 2011. You can view the TFA blurb at Today's featured article/May 14, 2011. If the previous blurb needs tweaking, you might change it—following the instructions of the suggested formatting. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page so Wikipedia doesn't look bad. :D Thanks!

Virginia is a U.S. state on the Atlantic Coast of the Southern United States. The state population is over eight million. Its geography and climate are shaped by the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Chesapeake Bay, which are home to much of its flora and fauna. The area's history begins with indigenous settlements and the founding of the Virginia Colony in May 1607 by the London Company as the first permanent New World English colony. Virginia was one of the Thirteen Colonies involved in the American Revolution. During the American Civil War, Virginia joined the Confederate States of America, which named Richmond its capital, and the state of West Virginia separated. The state government is home to the oldest legislature in the Americas, and is unique in how it prohibits its Governors from serving consecutive terms. Virginia's economy has many sectors: agriculture in places like the Shenandoah Valley, federal agencies in Northern Virginia, and military facilities in Hampton Roads. The growth of the media and technology sectors have made computer chips the leading export, with the industry based on the strength of Virginia's public schools and universities. (more...)

Ambassador Program: assessment drive
Even though it's been quiet on-wiki, the Wikipedia Ambassador Program has been busy over the last few months getting ready for the next term. We're heading toward over 80 classes in the US, across all disciplines. You'll see courses start popping up here, and this time we want to match one or more Online Ambassadors to each class based on interest or expertise in the subject matter. If you see a class that you're interested, please contact the professor and/or me; the sooner the Ambassadors and professors get in communication, the better things go. Look for more in the coming weeks about next term.

In the meantime, with a little help I've identified all the articles students did significant work on in the last term. Many of the articles have never been assessed, or have ratings that are out of date from before the students improved them. Please help assess them! Pick a class, or just a few articles, and give them a rating (and add a relevant WikiProject banner if there isn't one), and then update the list of articles.

Once we have updated assessments for all these articles, we can get a better idea of how quality varied from course to course, and which approaches to running Wikipedia assignments and managing courses are most effective.
