Iceland's portal peer review
Hello, Joe! Since you are experienced with portals and have recently been a portal peer reviewer, I request your input at the Iceland Portal's peer review. All general feedback is greatly appreciated. I hope to improve the Iceland Portal to featured status. Thanks! — [ sd ] 11:58, 7 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Hello! I would like notify you that the Iceland Portal has now been nominated for featured status. Comments and suggestions are welcome at the discussion. Thank you, [ sd ] 02:01, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

The Indiana Portal
Hi Joe, you did a great job of getting The Indiana Portal up and running. I added some things and put it up for a portal peer review. After that, why don't you nominate it for featured portal status? :-) Regards, RichardF (talk) 20:58, 21 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I noticed the changes and additions you made. I'll keep an eye on the peer review and work on what gets brought up. But you're more than welcome to nominate it for featured, because I won't due to my sporadic activity.   Joe   I  04:39, 23 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Okay, I see you just caught a typo! >;-o) I'm going to look at the featured and other state portals to see if there are some other nice sections we can add. I like the "Attractions" section at Florida, for example. RichardF (talk) 05:09, 23 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I like the attractions idea as well, tho I can't come up with to many attractions other than Holiday World and the Indy Speedway.  Joe  I  06:39, 24 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Are you willing to support the FP nomination? Maybe that will help get it off the dime. :-) RichardF (talk) 20:44, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Info box changes, and...doesn't change back!
06:51, 13 February 2008 (UTC)Alloy (talk)Help! I edited an info box at the "Steward Edward White" article, and it does not seem to have resumed its original format--it only displays with HTML? language. I re-started my computer, and the article still appears in this form. My revised text appears in the info box; now, do I have to do one more step to get the format to revert back to finished text?

Your thoughts on quote formats in featured portals
Yo, I stumbled accross your featured portal criteria and I was wondering if you could tell me what you think the best way to go about formatting quotes on a portal is. On Portal:Anarchism we don't use cquote and I was thinking of switching to it. Sincerely, Skomorokh  18:15, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

Does Carol Schwartz belong in WikiProject Texas?
Carol Schwartz was added to WikiProject Texas by a bot, presumably because of the mentions of Texas in her bio, and then you added importance Mid later. Since she moved to DC from Texas at age 22, I find it hard to believe she rates a "Mid" in significance for Texas — in fact, it seems unlikely that she should be in WikiProject Texas at all, though of course the project can make whatever decisions it likes. Just thought I'd call it to your attention. —KCinDC (talk) 17:42, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

Bande Dessinée portal
Hello, I saw that you are a portal peer review volunteer. I have worked much for the improvement of my portal, but some concerns may remain:
 * Is the image at the top of the page useful and aesthetic, or should I remove or replace it ?
 * Problem with the selected biography: I contented myself with writing a short sentence as an introduction for each personality. Then I wrote the beginning of the biography, then put a link "more..." to the complete article. Is it approriate ?
 * Selected images are not of the same size. Is it really a problem ? It should be noted that free images for comics are very rare.
 * Is the presentation of the news correct ? I did not specified the exact date of each event, only the month, because I do not know it.
 * If you have any other recommendations about other aspects of the portal, do not hesitate ! It MUST become a featured portal ! Thanks. (Please reply here).--Pah777 (talk) 22:02, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Certified Acceptance Corporation
A tag has been placed on Certified Acceptance Corporation, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as FAQ/Business for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. TallNapoleon (talk) 09:46, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

C Class for WP Texas
Hi Searchme, I've temporarily reverted your addition of the C class to the WP Texas template. When C-class was first introduced, it was brought up on the WP Texas talk page, and there was no consensus to add the class. That was several months ago, and it is possible that consensus changed. If you think we need the class, could you please propose this on the WP Texas talk page? We would also need to modify the assessments scale so that assessors would understand when to use C class versus other classes. Thanks! Karanacs (talk) 14:11, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

Wikiproject Electronics collaboration
Hi, I am writing to you because you have listed yourself as a member of the Electronics WikiProject. Sadly, this project is pretty dead, but I propose to resuscitate it with a collaboration. The idea is to have a concerted effort on improving one article per month, hopefully to GA or FA status and nominate the very best of them for the front page. I have prepared a page to control this process at WikiProject Electronics/Collaboration (actually, I mostly shamelessly stole it from WikiProject Mammals where a collaboration of this sort was succesfully run). There you can make nominations for articles for collaboration or comment on the nominations of others.

If you want to take part you might like to place this template  on your userpage which will give you a link to the current collaboration. If you are no longer interested in Wikiproject Electronics, please remove yourself from the members list, which is now at WikiProject Electronics/Members

Question
Hi there...

What are your thoughts on collecting all Euro related articles and putting them into a sub-portal (if there is such a thing...)? The € • T/C 13:22, 20 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Tho there doesn't seem to be enough content to apply to an individual portal, a tab seems like a good idea. You can see some examples at Portal:Atlas and Portal:European Union.  I don't think I'd have alot of time for major work on it, but I'd be more than happy to set it up and help out as much as possible. Just let me know what you're thinking about different boxes, rotated content and such.   Joe   I  03:11, 21 December 2008 (UTC)


 * A tab does seem like a good idea. I'm not sure what you mean by boxes and rotated content, though. The reason I asked your thoughts in the first place is that since Euro topics have an entire subset of specific information and content, it might be helpful to have some sort of focused point of convergence for editors to either contribute new or improve upon existing articles. While it is true that there isn't enough content for an individual portal now, over the next few years, there may be. Perhaps it would be prudent to spin off Euro content sooner rather than later, given what little (compared to other portals) content there is, into a sub portal so as to ease the transition when such a time comes that there is enough content on the subject to justify a completely separate portal. I'm just thinking out loud here, but maybe it is better to start off with a tab and move forward from there. I would like to see a dedicated area for improvements and assessments of current articles as well as a 'what's needed' area in this tab. If I had about a day or two, I would probably be able to recommend several dozen articles where Euro specific content could be formed into a new article. The Euro, for many researchers, represents a single idea whose precepts are separate from those of general numismatics; but it is certainly a part of general numismatics too. I'm just trying to get Euro related content to have more focus than it does now and creating a sub-portal was the first thing that came to mind. Thanks for your open-mindedness in addressing my question... it is appreciated. The € • T/C 16:08, 21 December 2008 (UTC)


 * A tab would be easily transferable into a full portal when appropriate. Maybe, to organize and focus attentions you could think about setting up a separate taskforce/workgroup of WikiProject Numismatics.  You can see how this is done at WikiProject Military history.  This would give a chance for separate to-do list, assessments, collaborations and such.  There seems to be alot of interest in the euro, so I'm sure it wouldn't be difficult to set up.  With this done, setting a portal tab for the euro would be much easier.   Joe   I  21:54, 21 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the direction... I'll proceed as you suggest. Thanks again! The € • T/C 07:23, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

HELP!!!
Hey Joe, I don't know if you are a Wiki admin but want telling you a real problem and would like getting your kind support. Today I wrote this to two English admins:

you could be the one who might ask the Wiki.en gentlemen to whitelist my URL www.realgems.org. Since December 2008 Vsmith & Co. (USA) have deleted all my external links so that all gemstone-interested Wiki users worldwide (! - except Germany) cannot find my collection of faceted gemstones (and their rough versions) any more... From July 2008 until December 2008 all my link additions (to my own, educational and non-profit) were not regarded as spam!!!

I have sent this message also to User:SauliH. and Gem-fanat.

Since a few days I have followed the instruction of a Wiki admin to create something worthy for Wikipedia so that my URL can be whitelisted again. So I created these articles on German Wiki BECAUSE GERMAN WIKI HAS WHITELISTED MY URL BECAUSE THEY HAVE SEEN THAT MY COLLECTION OF MORE THAN 2000 IMAGES IS WORTH BEING LINKED AT WIKIPEDIA: Tugtupite, Jeremejevite, Benitoite and added some data to Red Beryl. What else can I do to reach a worldwide whitelisting?

Hey joe..need your help again
I can't believ we haven't talked since '08 about the CAC Article! Well, I made an article on the classic head gold coin, ($2.50 quarter eagle). Perhaps it can be sprunced up or perhaps merged?

I cited my sources, and I would be devestated if it was deleted. I know it wasn't a very good edit, I haven't used wikipedia in a long time, but am seeking your help to improve it! Also, I would like to help add more counterfeit diagnoses on counterfeit coins, such as repeating depressions, eletrocytes counterfeits, cast counterfeits and die-transfer counterfeits, "fatty" or round letters, and tool marks which are commonly found on high quality numismatic grade fakes. I did make an edit on this earlier as well, but I assume since I didn't cite my sources it was deleted. (All I've learned about the subject I haven't found online, but rather classes I took or books I've read in hand)

Thanks for your understanding. Spacetimecont (talk) 06:33, 16 May 2009 (UTC)

Wikipedia never notifies me of watched page changes
I believe you welcomed me to Wikipedia when I first joined and you invited me to ask you questions here.

I usually check "Watch this page" on pages that I edit, expecting Wikipedia to send me a notification by email whenever the page changes. However, I have never received such a notification. I have verified that my email address is entered properly in my profile. Do you have any idea what the problem might be? Or is that not how page watching works? Thanks!
