Mystery
Please solve this mystery if you can...

On September 23rd, traffic to Portal:James Bond doubled, and has stayed at the new level since then. I can't figure out what happened.

See http://stats.grok.se/en/201109/Portal%3AJames_Bond

Traffic to Outline of James Bond stayed the same (though it was at the higher-level already), which leads me to suspect changes made somewhere in Wikipedia.

See http://stats.grok.se/en/201109/Outline%20of%20James_Bond

I'd like to find out what happened, in case it reveals helpful link placement tips that can double the traffic to outlines too!

I look forward to your reply. The Transhumanist 22:34, 5 October 2011 (UTC)

Please help fill in annotations at Portal:Contents/Outlines
Please go to Portal:Contents/Outlines' and fill in as many missing annotations as you can, even if it's only one or two. Every little bit helps!

Even if all you can do is one or two, the support will be greatly felt. Many hands make light work.

Edits for the "Ready or Not: Creating a high school diploma that counts" page
Hello!

Thank you so much for reviewing my page. I am working on this page as part of a graduate school project, and would love some help getting the article approved for the site! I noticed that the comments left on the page mentioned disorganization and heavy reliance on one source. Can you give me some suggestions to more effectively organize? And where do you feel the article relies too heavily on one source? Is there information that you feel should be backed up by more sources? I hope to hear from you soon!Fareedrmostoufi (talk) 17:17, 26 October 2011 (UTC)Fareedrmostoufi

New Page Patrolling
Hi. Thank you for patrolling  new pages. I noticed you  recently  userfied a sandbox created in  error  to User:Zizou12/sandbox. I'm just  wondering  if you  remembered to  leave message on  the user's talk  page with  a link  to  the new location of their sandbox, and to  mark  the redirect  page for deletion. Happy patrolling! --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 12:57, 28 October 2011 (UTC)
