Science / Collaboration
Hi Simplysavvy,

I noticed your edit on Science Collaboration of the Month (SCOTM) and was wondering if you're interested in that project? I had a peek at your contributions and it seems you're racking up the edits pretty fast without needing any help. And you're pretty bold!

I joined SCOTM just as the last dedicated member left last year. It seems the prject had been suffering from neglect for a long time. That last editor went to Today's Article(s) for Improvement (TAFI). I myself haven't been that active (busy year), but am interested in both, primarily SCOTM.

You seem to be a much better contributor than I, but if anything was learnt from the set up of TAFI, it's projects grow from a few editors making the edits they can, when they can. If you want to collaborate on sciency articles, let me know!

I wasnt sure if I could just copy and paste but since there was so much material to add, I did that to save time, not realizing that it was a big no-no. But now I know and it wont happen again.

Disambiguation link notification for February 16
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited D. Brooke Harlow, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Boys Club (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Valencia Assembly Plant
Hello. I am attempting to improve the article for the Ford Motor Company Valencia Assembly Plant in Valencia, Venezuela. The article is in a very poor quality. There is not sufficient content. The article is very misleading. It needs more references and information. I am requesting that you please provide resources necessary to improve the article, such as content, references, information, and other users who are willing to assist in restructuring the article. Thank you very much.--67.54.191.225 (talk) 15:25, 4 June 2014 (UTC)

This week's article for improvement (week 8, 2015)
Hi, I am wondering what the wikipedia policy is for use of non-English sources. Every now and then the only source I can find for a fact is a foreign-language (non-English, pardon my anglocentricity) reference. I assume it is OK, especially if it is a "popular" language such as French or Spanish, but what if the language uses non-latin characters, such as Korean, Chinese, or Hebrew? Thanks for your help.simplysavvy 06:58, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
 * English language sources are ideal, but non-English sources are allowed if that's all you can find. I dream of horses If you reply here, please leave me a &#123;&#123;Talkback&#125;&#125; message on my talk page. @ 07:43, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

Securitas AB - notability
Hi, I'm writing to you because you "love business" and from reading WP articles, I feel that many Wikipedians distrust or even hate business. Anyway, I noted that the subject of the above article was tagged as not notable. I put my comments on this on the article's Talk page (q.v.), but I feel that there's a general principle here which I wanted to bring to the notice of an editor on the Companies project. I myself am interested in business and companies, though don't claim the special knowledge required to join the project Chrismorey (talk) 20:37, 5 March 2015 (UTC)

Bot automation at Wikipedia:Today's articles for improvement
 Greetings WikiProject TAFI members!

Over the past two weeks, there has been extensive discussion on introducing bot automation to assist with maintenance of the Today's Articles for Improvement project. A bot has now been approved for trial and will carry out the weekly duties. The bots first run will occur around 00:00, 22 November 2015 (UTC) (midnight on Sunday).

If you have been assisting any of the weekly maintenance tasks, please refrain from doing so this week. The bot needs to be tested and proven it can do the job, and it only gets one chance per week. The tasks will include:
 * Adding the new scheduled article to Wikipedia talk:Today's articles for improvement and removing the entry from Articles for improvement
 * Set up the schedule pages for the new TAFI, except the adding of an image and caption
 * Adding TAFI to the new article for improvement, remove TAFI from last week's article and add Former TAFI to the talk page
 * Notify relevant WikiProjects that the new TAFI is within their scope
 * Send a mass message to everyone on the notification list of the new TAFI selection

Updating the accomplishments and archiving selections is still done manually, along with daily tasks such as adding approved entries to the articles for improvement page. These will become automated in the near future.

We hope the bot proves to serve well, and by carrying out the routine housekeeping tasks we can boost the overall efficiency and effectiveness of the project. thanks you for your service in helping with the weekly tasks in the past, and for your cooperation during this trial period :)
