Gabriel Hall
You might be interested in this article I started. Gabriel Hall is a Filipino adoptee who is on death row in Texas for committing murder. Papers in College Station, Texas; New York City (Pinoy paper), and the Philippines have covered this case. There seems to be a lot of drama in regards to his adopted family but I haven't written about the specifics of that. WhisperToMe (talk) 21:56, 28 January 2016 (UTC)

Hi there RightCow.

WP:APPNOTE says "Editors who have participated in previous discussions on the same topic" can be canvassed.

I have made a number of edits on Operation Enduring Freedom – Philippines to remove questionable sources and cut down on editorialised language.

I note that on the page Talk:Territorial disputes in the South China Sea you have expressed concern at questionable sources (political materials published by separatist groups) being used as sources. You may want to see the talk page given the issues are being raised again. -- Callinus (talk) 14:00, 3 March 2016 (UTC)

Mark E. Mitchell
Hello:

The copy edit that you requested from the Guild of Copy Editors of the article Mark E. Mitchell has been completed.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

You will notice that I archived one of the article’s citations (#1). I suggest that you archive the rest of the article’s URLs as time allows. This ensures that the article's references are available "forever" and that it doesn’t develop “dead links” over time. The site I use is https://archive.org/web/. Simply copy the URL in the citation and paste it in the "Save Page Now" box on the archive.org site and click "save". This creates a copy of the original page and provides you with a new URL to add to the original citation. If you look at the URL I've archived you'll see the syntax. You add the new URL to the end of the original citation like this: |archiveurl=http etc|archivedate=December 3, 2016}}. Not all websites allow archiving - CBS TV news and the NY Times are two I've come across, so there's not much you can do about that unless there is an alternate citation you could use.

Regards,

Could you help out with this article? A military member created this article not realizing that we have a COI policy. They've backed away from it, but are wondering if someone could polish it up so the tags are no longer necessary?--v/r - TP 18:25, 12 December 2016 (UTC)

Haunts from the past
Please see Talk:Associated_Press. Apparently years ago you accidentally got quotes/comments from one news corporation's blog entry mixed up with another's, attributing to the AP what had actually been stated by ABCNews. Please review each source blog entry. I think I got it right by deleting the misattributed comment, but PR always confuses... Shenme (talk) 04:01, 21 December 2016 (UTC)

Challenge the Outcome of Deletion
Hello RightCowLeftCoast,

My username is Mabusaif. I recently re-created a page which you posted for speedy deletion, but which had met the previous requirements commented on by another administrator. I am not extremely well versed in Wikipedia, and am just trying to contribute when possible - but I would contest that the aforementioned page deleted, "Center for American Homeless Veterans," was both accurate, not an orphan (the reason it was deleted before), objective, and meeting all other Wikipedia criteria. I don't log on extremely often, so I never had the opportunity to comment before it was deleted.

Please update me - but I would like the page to be recreated. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mabusaif (talk • contribs) 17:57, 21 December 2016 (UTC)
 * The concern regarding the subject of the article is that it did not appear to pass WP:ORG. Moreover, it went through an WP:AFD. Also, I did my own check on the subject per WP:BEFORE, and came to agree with the consensus of the AFD. There is also a concern about WP:SPA, but that only means that one needs only expand their editing, to get to learn more about editing Wikipedia. Also please see WP:NOTADVOCATE.
 * The issue is that the subject doesn't appear to pass WP:GNG & WP:ORG. Perhaps it is WP:TOOSOON.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 06:38, 23 December 2016 (UTC)


 * I understand the concern, and have reviewed the aforementioned links, but I find most of them to regard a conflict of interest (which I do not have - I do not work for, and have not received services from said organization - all I care about is creating a more robust veterans' network). The page to my recollection had over a dozen references, and I would be glad to look for more, and I would advocate (objectively, of course) that it is not too soon to be written on, that there are a plethora of external references, and that this organization has existed for over two decades. I would love to make more edits, and continue posting pages - but I'm not paid and can only delegate a limited amount of time to it, and more importantly, have been bogged down by first trying to rectify this deletion. In any case, I understand your position, and would like to at least request the material for future improvement, per the earlier nomination text, "If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator." Thank you RightCowLC.

March Madness 2017
G'day all, please be advised that throughout March 2017 the Military history Wikiproject is running its March Madness drive. This is a backlog drive that is focused on several key areas:


 * tagging and assessing articles that fall within the project's scope
 * updating the project's currently listed A-class articles to ensure their ongoing compliance with the listed criteria
 * creating articles that are listed as "requested" on the project's various task force pages or other lists of missing articles.

As with past Milhist drives, there are points awarded for working on articles in the targeted areas, with barnstars being awarded at the end for different levels of achievement.

The drive is open to all Wikipedians, not just members of the Military history project, although only work on articles that fall (broadly) within the military history scope will be considered eligible. More information can be found here for those that are interested, and members can sign up as participants at that page also.

The drive starts at 00:01 UTC on 1 March and runs until 23:59 UTC on 31 March 2017, so please sign up now.

For the Milhist co-ordinators. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) & MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 07:24, 26 February 2017 (UTC)
