BRO
It should be "you're" **facepalm**

If you look at my edit count, I barely do now. But I'll never quite 100% leave either. (Chill (talk) 01:57, 14 April 2012 (UTC))
 * "Chill", now that deserves a real facepalm! Haha. We need to keep in contact offwiki? — R  2  09:22, 14 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Well I think its what most angry editors need to do, so it felt right :p. Best two spots to get ahold of me:

www.facebook.com/rwarrell www.twitter.com/TheRamblingElf

(or e-mail works, but less preferable)
 * I'm not on fb, I do use twitter on occasions. Are you not on AIM anymore? — R  2  19:45, 14 April 2012 (UTC)


 * I do use AIM, but I'm more frequently on Skype (name theelfoidtfs). Go give the twitter a follow (and give me your account name so I know who it is). Maybe I'll sign on to aim sometime just for your sake! (Chill (talk) 01:46, 15 April 2012 (UTC))
 * You're not on facebook? That's just anti-social. :P The Bookkeeper   (of the Occult)  05:21, 15 April 2012 (UTC)
 * I Literally deleted it about a week ago, I'm a teacher now so I was advised to. I'll add you o twitter Elfoid (I refuse to call you Chill, ever!). — R  2  07:53, 15 April 2012 (UTC)

Miss You Much
Like the song says. :) The Bookkeeper   (of the Occult)  09:52, 14 April 2012 (UTC)
 * I was looking at your edits to Hunger Games yesterday actually, nice to see you editing a lot more. Are you still watching over the Janet articles? I saw her live in London last year, amazing! x — R  2  09:54, 14 April 2012 (UTC)
 * I still look over Janet related articles. Most recent expansion has been on the ''Janet (album). The Bookkeeper   (of the Occult)  10:02, 14 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Good to hear. I'm semi debating whether to come back to Wiki during the summer holidays. Michael Jackson needs a lot of work, it's probably not FA standard now, alas. —  R  2  10:14, 14 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Can't believe it. — R  2  10:16, 14 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Yeah, he was a good editor and I had/have a lot of respect for him. The Bookkeeper   (of the Occult)  10:17, 14 April 2012 (UTC)

WikiProject Good articles (Participant Clean-Up)
Hello, you are receiving this message because you are currently a participant of WikiProject Good articles. Since the creation of the WikiProject, over 200 user's have joined to help review good article nominations and contribute to other sections of the WikiProject. Over the years, several of these users have stopped reviewing articles and/or have become inactive with the project but are still listed as participates. In order to improve communications with other participants and get newsletters sent out faster (newsletters will begin to be sent out monthly starting in October) all participants that are no longer active with the WikiProject will be removed from the participants list.

If you are still interested in being a participant for this WikiProject, please sign your user name here and please help review some articles so we can reduce the size of the backlog. If you are no longer interested, you do not need to sign your name anywhere and your name will be removed from the participants list after the deadline. Remember that even if you are not interested at this time, you can always re-add your name to the list whenever you want. The deadline to sign your name on the page above will be November 1, 2012. Thank-you. 13:32, 22 September 2012 (UTC)

Update for: WikiProject Good articles (Participant Clean-Up)
Sorry for having to send out a second message but a user has brought to my attention that a point mentioned in the first message should be clarified. If user's don't sign on this page, they will be moved to an "Inactive Participants" list rather then be being removed from the entire WikiProject. Sorry for any confusion.--Dom497 (talk)15:22, 22 September 2012 (UTC)

GAN December 2013 Backlog Drive
{| |}

March 2014 GAN Backlog Drive
It's that time again! Starting on March 1, there will be another GAN Backlog Drive! There will be several changes compared to previous drives:


 * This drive will introduce a new component to it; a point system. In a nutshell, older nominations are worth more points than newer nominations. The top 3 participants who have the points will be awarded the Golden, Silver, or Bronze Wikipedia Puzzle Piece Trophy, respectively.
 * Unlike the December 2013 Backlog Drive, earning an additional barnstar if you reached your goal has been removed.
 * The allowance to have insufficient reviews has been lowered to 2 before being disqualified.
 * An exception to the rule that all reviews must be completed before the deadline has been created.

Also, something that I thought I would share with all of you is that we raised $20.88 (USD) for the WMF in the December 2013 drive. It may not sound like a lot but considering that that was raised just because we reviewed articles, I would say that's pretty good! With that success, pledges can be made for the upcoming drive if you wish.

More info regarding the drive and full descriptions regarding the changes to this drive can be found on the the drive page. If you have any questions, feel free to leave a message on the drive talk page.

I look forward to your participation and hope that because of it, some day the backlog will be gone!

GAN March 2014 Backlog Drive
The March 2014 GAN Backlog Drive has begun and will end on April 1, 2014! Sent by Dom497 on behalf of MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 21:01, 1 March 2014 (UTC)

Input needed
Greetings Realist2, I nominated the Wizkid article for GA status. Unfortunately, it was declined by a good article reviewer. I disagree with some of the comments left by the reviewer. All of the references I cited are reliable references. I personally want you to take a look this article and tell me what parts of the article needs fixing/modifying. I read on your user page that you are a good article reviewer. The numerous work you've done on the Michael and Janet Jackson articles speak for themselves. I will appreciate your input. Thanks! versace1608 (talk) 21:47, 11 March 2014 (UTC)

WikiProject Good articles Future GAN Backlog Drive
Hello everyone! Hope you've all been having a great summer!

TheQ Editor recently proposed the idea of having another Backlog Drive in either September/October or November/December of this year. For those of you who have participated in the past two drives you know I was the one who organized them, however, come September, this will be my most important year in school so I will not be able to coordinate this drive (if it happens). TheQ Editor has volunteered to be a coordinator for the drive. If any of you would like to co-coordinator, please notify TheQ Editor on his talk page.

If you would be interested in participating in a Backlog Drive sometime before the end of this year, please notify TheQ Editor. Also, make sure to specify what month(s) work best for you.

At the time this message was sent out, the backlog was at 520 nominations. Since May, the backlog has been steadily increasing and we are currently near an all time high. Even though the backlog will not disappear over one drive, this drive can lead to several others which will (hopefully) lead to the day where there is no longer a backlog.

As always, the more participants, the better, and everyone is encouraged to participate!

GA Cup
Hello everyone! We hope you have all been having a great summer!

As we all know, the recent GAN Backlog Drives have not had any big impact on the backlog. Because of that, me (Dom497), Figureskatingfan, and TheQ Editor have worked on an idea that could possibly finally put a dent into the massive backlog. Now, I will admit, the idea isn't entirely ours as we have took the general idea of the WikiCup and brought it over to WikiProject Good Articles. But anyways, here's what we have in mind:

For all of you that do not know what the WikiCup is, it is an annual competition between several editors to see who can get the most Good Articles, Featured Article's, Did You Know's, etc. Based of this, we propose to you the GA Cup. This competition will only focus on reviewing Good articles.

For more info on the proposal, click here. As a FYI, the proposal page is not what the final product will look like (if you do go ahead with this idea). It will look very similar to WikiCup's page(s).

The discussion for the proposal will take place here. Please let us know if you are interested, have any concerns, things to consider, etc.

--Dom497, Figureskatingfan, and TheQ Editor
