== John Loring ==

Hi Jackyd, I've been reading your articles with great interest, filling some significant gaps in coverage and greatly improving others. With regard to [[John Wentworth Loring]] though, he was not actually the officer who ever commanded ''Bellerophon'', or who was commodore at the [[Blockade of Saint-Domingue]]. That was his first-cousin, plain John Loring, who died, still a captain, at Fareham in 1808. [[User:Benea|Benea]] ([[User talk:Benea|talk]]) 17:49, 21 April 2012 (UTC)
::Damn, thanks for catching that. He was in the right place at the right time and everything - oh well. Do let me know if you catch any other errors.--[[User:Jackyd101|Jackyd101]] ([[User talk:Jackyd101#top|talk]]) 18:38, 21 April 2012 (UTC)

:::Just a few typographical things I think, and far less than I am sure I have made in my time! I researched the Bellerophon captains quite a bit while rewriting that article, and the only one I haven't written one for is Loring. You can find some key service dates, like promotions and commissions, follow him from command to command and get some insights into what he was doing on some of them, but apart from a few snippets like his death announcements, there is still a lot of blank space. I can't find any proper biography or obituary unfortunately. I might consider writing one though to be honest, as there is a lot to say about certain aspects, like the progress of the blockade, but it would have virtually nothing on his early life, for example. What do you think? [[User:Benea|Benea]] ([[User talk:Benea|talk]]) 22:41, 21 April 2012 (UTC)
::::Its a tricky question that I've pondered for years - where does the notability line lie with Napoleonic naval officers? On the one hand, these guys were big celebrities in their days, but there were a lot of them and many didn't do much other than sit on blockade duties year after year - I feel though that a captain at a major battle or the commander of an operation (i.e. Loring) probably should always qualify in theory. At the end of the day I think the basic notability rules are useful - if you can't find the sources to create a fleshed article (even a small one), then the subject probably doesn't meet notability requirements. The question then is where to draw the line: some are easy - if Tracy or the ODNB cover them then making an article is simple, and any one still alive after 1825 is covered by Marshall for at least the basics. After that date there are also a number of annual magazines that carry useful obituaries. However, officers who died before about 1820 are always difficult to create articles on: an example of one I made a special effort with is [[Thomas Byard]] and you can see how little I could gather on him. If you think you could muster something of around that length then its probably worthwhile, but if its only ever going to be a stub then maybe not.--[[User:Jackyd101|Jackyd101]] ([[User talk:Jackyd101#top|talk]]) 23:19, 21 April 2012 (UTC)

== Coordinate problem for Action of 10 April 1795 ==

I believe the coordinates on the article you started, the [[Action of 10 April 1795]], are wrong. They seem more like the ones for the [[Glorious First of June]]. If the 10 April battle was held just west of the approaches to Brest, I think it'd be closer to land. Please tell me your thoughts. -- '''[[User:VegitaU|<font color="green" face="Times New Roman">Veggy</font>]]''' ('''''[[User talk:VegitaU|<font color="orange" face="Times New Roman">talk</font>]]''''') 07:04, 20 June 2012 (UTC)
::The co-ordinates come from a reference. The difficulty in precise co-ordinates for naval actions of this type is that they often occurred across hundreds of miles of open sea. The action here began off Brest but finished far out to sea. I have changed the name accordingly. Regards--[[User:Jackyd101|Jackyd101]] ([[User talk:Jackyd101#top|talk]]) 19:49, 1 July 2012 (UTC)

== Credo Reference Update & Survey (your opinion requested) ==

[[Credo Reference]], who generously [[WP:CREDO|donated 400 free Credo 250 research accounts]] to Wikipedia editors over the past two years, has offered to expand the program to include 100 additional reference resources.  Credo wants Wikipedia editors to select which resources they want most.  So, we put together a quick survey to do that:

* Link to Survey (should take between 5-10 minutes): [http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/N8FQ6MM http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/N8FQ6MM]

It also asks some basic questions about what you like about the Credo program and what you might want to improve.

At this time only the initial 400 editors have accounts, but even if you do not have an account, you still might want to weigh in on which resources would be most valuable for the community (for example, through [[WP:RESOURCE|WikiProject Resource Exchange]]).  

Also, if you have an account but no longer want to use it, please leave me a note so another editor can take your spot.

If you have any other questions or comments, drop by my talk page or email me at wikiocaasi@yahoo.com.  Cheers! [[User:Ocaasi|Ocaasi]]<sup> [[User talk:Ocaasi|t ]]&#124;[[Special:Contributions/Ocaasi| c]]</sup> 17:20, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

== [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles|WikiProject Good articles]] (Participant Clean-Up) ==

Hello, you are receiving this message because you are currently a participant of [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles|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 [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/participants|participants list]].

If you are still interested in being a participant for this WikiProject, please sign your user name [[User:Dom497/Active Good Article Participants|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. 13:27, 22 September 2012 (UTC)

== Update for: [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles|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 [[User:Dom497/Active Good Article Participants|this page]], they will be moved to an "Inactive Participants" list rather then be being removed from the entire WikiProject. Sorry for any confusion.--[[User:Dom497|Dom497]] ([[User talk:Dom497|talk]])15:17, 22 September 2012 (UTC)

; Some Tips About References/Sources

Having references included in articles is one of the most important aspects to a good article, let alone Wikipedia! Without them, no one would ever know what is true and what is false and Wikipedia probably wouldn't be where it is today. So this month, I will talk about how to check for references, how reliable they are, and so on and so forth.

The first thing to do when reviewing an nominee is to do a quick scan of the article. One of the things to look for is if the article has references! If you don't see a list at the bottom of the article page, quick-fail it.<ref>Before quick-failing the article, verify that one of the several referencing templates is correctly placed at the bottom of the article. If the template is not placed, try to place it to see if references are displayed. If this proof returns no references, then proceed to quick-failing.</ref> For newcomers, quick-failing is failing an article when you spot a problem before actually conducting a full review. If you do find a list of references (and in most cases you will) make sure to look through each and every one. If you want to save some time, use [http://toolserver.org/~dispenser/view/Checklinks this tool] as it will tell you if there are any problematic references in the article you are reviewing. 

Next, check the reliability and type of the references/sources. In terms of the type of reference, check to see how many primary and/or secondary sources are included. Primary sources are the ones published by the subject of the article. For example, if the subject of the article has to do with the [[iPhone 4s]] and the source is published by [[Apple]], it is considered a primary source. Secondary sources are those ''not'' published by the subject of the article (or in close relation to it). Newspapers are examples of secondary sources and considered one of the better types to include in the article (not saying primary sources are bad). If you find that most/all of the references are primary sources, notify the nominator about this issue(s) and place the article on hold once you have completed the review. Only in the event that a secondary source can't be found as a replacement, then the primary source can remain. If there is a good mix of primary and secondary sources, that is perfect and no references need to be changed. 

Now, reliability. Forums are generally not considered reliable and some blog's may not be reliable either. Newspapers, most sources published by the subject, some blogs, etc. are considered reliable. If you don't know wether the source is reliable, ask for a second opinion. For more info about how to identify wether a reference is reliable or not, visit [[Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources|this article]].

Finally, one of the more basic things to look for is that every statement in the article has at least one reference! The only case that a statement doesn't need a reference is when it is common sense that the statement is defiantly true and/or in the case where the statement can't be challenged, as per what Wikipedia says, "All quotations and any material challenged or likely to be challenged must be attributed to a reliable published source using an inline citation."

== Main Page appearance ==

Hello! This is a note to let the main editors of the article [[Order of battle at the Battle of Camperdown]] know that it will be appearing as [[Wikipedia:Today's featured list|the main page featured list]] on October 8, 2012. You can view the TFL blurb at [[Wikipedia:Today's featured list/October 8, 2012]]. If you think it is necessary to change the main date, you can request it with the featured list directors {{user|The Rambling Man}}, {{user|Dabomb87}} or {{user|Giants2008}}, or at [[Wikipedia talk:Today's featured list]]. If the previous blurb needs tweaking, you might change it—following the instructions of [[Wikipedia:Today's featured list/requests/instructions|the suggested formatting]]. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the [[Main Page]] so Wikipedia doesn't look bad. :D Thanks!

The '''[[order of battle at the Battle of Camperdown]]''' was made up of a British fleet under Admiral [[Adam Duncan, 1st Viscount Duncan|Adam Duncan]] and a Dutch fleet under Vice-Admiral [[Jan Willem de Winter|Jan de Winter]]. The [[Battle of Camperdown]] was an important naval action of the [[French Revolutionary Wars]], fought off [[Camperduin]] on the [[North Holland]] coast on 11 October 1797. The French Republic had overrun the [[Dutch Republic]] two years earlier, reforming it into the [[Batavian Republic]]. The battle commenced when, in a confused mass, the British attacked the Dutch [[line of battle]] in shallow coastal waters. The British ships separated into two groups that struck the [[Vanguard (military formation)|vanguard]] and [[Rear (military)|rear]] of the Dutch fleet, overwhelming each in turn and capturing eleven ships, including de Winter's flagship ''Vrijheid''. Although both fleets fought hard, they were suffering from popular unrest; the [[Spithead and Nore mutinies]] in Britain continued to overshadow the [[Royal Navy|Navy]], while the sailors of the [[Royal Netherlands Navy|Dutch Navy]] were unhappy with French dominion and, in marked difference to their officers, were generally supporters of the [[House_of_Orange-Nassau#Exile_and_resurgence|exiled House of Orange]].

==Gaisal train disaster==
Hi Jackyd101,

I have gone through your article on the Gaisal train disaster, and have now added 4 references to it. When you get a chance would it be possible for you to pop back over and take a look to see if the additions are fine by you. I also removed the unreferenced tag that was on the top of the article. Anyway, please let me know if you have any issues with what I did.

Kindest regards to you and happy wiki-ing,
([[User:MrNiceGuy1113|MrNiceGuy1113]] ([[User talk:MrNiceGuy1113|talk]]) 08:10, 14 December 2012 (UTC))

==Action of 16 October 1799==
Hi Jackyd101, The article has footnotes and an in text reference to "the historian James Henderson", but the references do not list his book (article?). Do you by any chance know what the reference is? I would like to be able to cite the info on annual wages for captains, seamen, etc., when reporting prize money awards.

::You are absolutely right - how foolish of me!

== Action of 18 August 1798 ==

Hello,

I think that I have stumbled on a small snag with [[Action of 18 August 1798]], and I would appreciate your thoughs on the matter.

The article currently describes as facts war crimes commited by the French crew after the capture of ''Leander''. Recently, I have found a number of French sources that either do not mention these allegations, or explicitly refute them. Léon Guérin even traces the allegations to "the small English pamphlet in-32, titled ''Life of Nelson''" (I suppose he refers to Clarke and McArthur's ''Life of Nelson'', which is quoted by James to source these allegations.

I have not found any direct mention of the incident by Captain Thomas Thompson himself. Furthermore, the nature of the allegations should I think raise suspicion"
* the British crew did not resist the plunder: Troudes gives this as an argument that the tale is implausible; James, while agreeing to the allegations without reserve, seems unsettled too ("the lions were now changed to lambs"). Apparently the French prize crew was far inferior in numbers, and unarmed.
* the quote "j'en suis fâché, mais le fait est, que les Français sont bons au pillage": while privateers from both sides engaged in this sort of behaviour, then usually downplay it in their accounts, and make a great case of the instances in which they seized only the cargo and not personnal effect. In the mouth of a Navy officer, I find it most suspect, and oddly alligned on the anti-Jacobine propaganda of the time.
* the accusation of various vexations against wounded is a typical theme of the propaganda of the time, often used as a general-purpose insult, much like "parricide"; it seems close to be the equivalent of present-day insinuations of similarities with the Third Reich or accusations of pædophilia.

I realise that my focus on French sources could make my request suspect, but I have tried to be as abrasive as I possibly can to similar instances of French propaganda, like on [[French ship Vengeur du Peuple|''Vengeur du Peuple'']] or [[Robert Surcouf]]. I would be very interested in your views as to whether and how this subject should be presented.

Thank you in any case, and cheers! [[User:Rama|Rama]] ([[User talk:Rama|talk]]) 07:19, 21 April 2013 (UTC)
::This is very interesting and I certainly think its worthy of note. Some caution should be applied though - although I broadly agree with your analysis above, its synthesis and original research and as such cannot be used in the article - we have to stick to the references. Here is what I propose: I will rejig the article to reflect that the statements regarding the plunder of the ship are the representations of British sources. You can then add a rejoinder from French sources contradicting this (i.e. X makes no mention of this in his 1843 account while Y directly refutes it, claiming . . .). We cannot make direct comparisons with the source or introduced the synthesis above into the article as it is original research (however I think I would be good to put this conversation on the talk page). Do you think this is a good plan? If so let me know and I'll make the necessary changes to the article soon.--[[User:Jackyd101|Jackyd101]] ([[User talk:Jackyd101#top|talk]]) 09:31, 21 April 2013 (UTC)
::: Thank you very much for your attention. I wholeheartedly agree that some of my remarks above cannot be used within the framework of Wikipedia, to which we must abide; I should have made it clearer that I mentionned them here to justify the degree of interest I find in the comparison of French and British sources in this case, and to describe the methodology with which I located and understood some of the material. I would certainly not consider my speculations suitable inside an article.
::: As you suggest, exposing the separate narratives is probably the best way to proceed for two parallel and irreconciliable viewpoints on a same event. Copying this discussion to the talk page of the article is a nice touch.
::: Thank you again for your time and for your excellent ideas! [[User:Rama|Rama]] ([[User talk:Rama|talk]]) 19:22, 21 April 2013 (UTC)

*'''Recruiters:''' The main task of a recruiter is to teach users that have never reviewed a Good article nomination how to review one. To become a recruiter, all you have to do is meet [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/Recruitment Centre/Recruiter Central#Becoming a Recruiter|this criteria]]. If we don't get at least 5-10 recruiters to start off with, the Recruitment Centre ''will not'' open. If interested, make sure you meet the criteria, read [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/Recruitment Centre/Recruiter Central#The Process|the process]] and add your name to the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/Recruitment Centre/List of Recruiters|list of recruiters]]. (One of the great things about being a recruiter is that there is no set requirement of what must be taught and when. Instead, all the content found in the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/Recruitment Centre/Recruiter Central#The Process|process section]] is a guideline of the main points that should be addressed during a recruitment session...you can also take an entire different approach if you wish!) If you think you will not have the time to recruit any users at this time but are still interested in becoming a recruiter, you can still add your name to the list of recruiters but just fill in the "Status" parameter with "Not Available".

*'''Co-Director:''' The current Director for the centre is me (Dom497). Another user that would be willing to help with some of the tasks would be helpful. Tasks include making sure recruiters are doing what they should be (teaching!), making sure all recruitments are archived correctly, updating pages as needed, answering any questions, and distributing the feedback form. If interested, please contact [[User:Dom497|me (Dom497)]].

*'' '''Nominators, please read this:''' '' If you are not interested in becoming a recruiter, you can still help. In some cases a nominator may have an issue with an "inexperienced" editor (the recruitee) reviewing one of their nominations. To minimize the chances of this happening, if you are fine with a recruitee reviewing one of your nominations under the supervision of the recruiter, please add your name to the list at the bottom of [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/Recruitment Centre/Recruiter Central#Nominators That Are OK With A Recruitee Reviewing|this page]]. By adding your name to this list, chances are that your nomination will be reviewed more quickly as the recruitee will be asked to choose a nomination from the list of nominators that are OK with them reviewing the article.

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to [[User talk:Dom497|contact me]]. I look forward to seeing this program bring new reviewers to the Good article community and all the positive things it will bring along.

== WikiProject Good Articles Recruitment Centre ==

{|{{Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/Recruitment Centre/Shell|introduction=Hello! Now, some of you might have already received a similar message a little while ago regarding the Recruitment Centre, so if you have, there is no need to read the rest of this. This message is directed to users who have reviewed over 15 Good article nominations and '''are not''' part of [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles|WikiProject Good articles]] (the first message I sent out went to only WikiProject members).

So for those who haven't heard about the Recruitment Centre yet, you may be wondering why there is a Good article icon with a bunch of stars around it (to the right). The answer?

== Re: Aircraft Carrier ==

Hey, I saw your comments on the first GA-review for [[Aircraft carrier]] and I was interested in cleaning up the page over the next while in some capacity. I noticed you made a comment about suggestions for finding sources and was interested in taking up the offer. Did you have any ideas in particular? I was thinking about a Google search and a trip to the library, but any others are welcome. Many thanks, [[User:Techhead7890|Techhead7890]] ([[User talk:Techhead7890|talk]]) 09:33, 3 October 2013 (UTC)

== Main Page appearance: Battle of the Nile ==

This is a note to let the main editors of [[Battle of the Nile]] know that the article will be appearing as [[Wikipedia:Today's featured article|today's featured article]] on October 21, 2013. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. If you prefer that the article appear as TFA on a different date, or not at all, please ask {{user|Bencherlite}}. You can view the TFA blurb at [[Wikipedia:Today's featured article/October 21, 2013]]. If it needs tweaking, or if it needs rewording to match improvements to the article between now and its main page appearance, please edit it, following the instructions at [[Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests/instructions]]. The blurb as it stands now is below:

<blockquote>
<div style="float: left; margin: 0.5em 0.9em 0.4em 0;">[[File:HoratioNelson1.jpg|100px|Horatio Nelson]]</div>
The '''[[Battle of the Nile]]''' was fought between the British and French navies at [[Aboukir Bay]] on the Egyptian coast from 1 to 3&nbsp;August 1798. It ended in victory for the British under [[Horatio Nelson]] ''(pictured)''. It was the climax of a [[Mediterranean campaign of 1798|Mediterranean naval campaign]] during the previous three months, as a large French convoy sailed to [[Alexandria]] carrying an expeditionary force under [[Napoleon Bonaparte]], pursued by Nelson and his fleet. After the French army had landed in Egypt, the French fleet anchored in what its commander believed was a formidable defensive position. When the British fleet arrived, Nelson ordered an immediate attack on both sides of the French position simultaneously. Trapped in a crossfire, the leading French warships were battered into surrender. The centre initially repelled the attack but was defeated after renewed assault from British reinforcements. The battle reversed the strategic situation in the Mediterranean and encouraged other European countries to turn against France. Bonaparte's army was trapped and was later defeated at the [[Siege of Acre (1799)|Siege of Acre]]. Nelson was made [[Baron Nelson]] and proclaimed a hero across Europe, and his captains were also highly praised. {{TFAFULL|Battle of the Nile}}

== GAN December 2013 Backlog Drive ==

{| {{WP:WikiProject Good articles/Shell|introduction=Hello! A [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/GAN Backlog Drives/December 2013|GAN Backlog Drive]] will begin in less than 4 days!<br/>

In past Backlog Drives, the goal was to reduce the backlog of Good article nominations. In the upcoming drive, another goal will be added - raising as much money as we can for the Wikimedia Foundation. How will this work? Well, its pretty simple. Any user interested in donating can submit a pledge at the Backlog Drive page (linked above). The pledge should mention the amount of money the user is willing to donate '''per review'''. For example, if a user pledges 5 cents per review and 100 nominations are reviewed, the total donation amount is $5.00.<br/>

At the time this message was sent out, two users have submitted pledges for a total of 8 cents per review. All pledges, no matter how much money, are greatly appreciated. Also, in no way is this saying you must make a pledge.</br>

If you have any questions, feel free to contact me or leave a message on the [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Good articles/GAN Backlog Drives/December 2013|Backlog Drive talk page]]. And remember, there are less than 4 days before the drive starts!--[[User:EdwardsBot|EdwardsBot]] ([[User talk:EdwardsBot|talk]]) 03:15, 27 November 2013 (UTC)  }}

== 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 [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/GAN Backlog Drives/March 2014|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!

== Doubt ==

Hi, Jackyd101. Firstly, I would like to thank you for your great contributions to Wikipedia. I am translating some of your articles into Spanish and I have to say they are top-class. Nonetheless, while trying to translate «[[Order of battle at the Battle of the Nile]]» I came across with a problem. In the bibliography you enlist two of the volumes written by William James, but in the references you don't specify to which one it refers each citation. I'm sorry if this is an inconvenient for you, but could you please tell me which volume they refer to?

I apologise for my English, but it is not my mother tongue. Thank you very much in advance, [[User:Rubpe19|Rubp]][[User Talk:Rubpe19|e<sup>19</sup>]] 12:17, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

:Hola Rubpe, ¿com estas? Tengo un poco espanol y soy muy feliz porque tu eres traducando la pagina! Now I have demonstrated how much worse my Spanish is than your excellent English, there was one reference to volume one which was marked as such, all the others were to volume two. However, it was a bit confusing and I have therefore added the references properly. Many thanks![[User:Jackyd101|Jackyd101]] ([[User talk:Jackyd101#top|talk]]) 21:44, 4 July 2014 (UTC)
::Well, everything can be improved with practise... (and your articles do nothing but good to my English). :)) Thank you very, very much for the edition and I'm also happy that you are. Greetings, [[User:Rubpe19|Rubp]][[User Talk:Rubpe19|e<sup>19</sup>]] 19:02, 6 July 2014 (UTC)
:::Sorry for interrupting you again. I finally completed the translation of [[Battle of the Nile]] into Spanish. I have to say it is a perfect article and that it took me quite a lot of time to complete it. I'm currently revising it and trying to revise the sources. Nevertheless, I found one problem, similar to the mentioned above. I think that the pages in the references don't match [http://books.google.es/books?id=UwMMAQAAMAAJ&printsec=frontcover&hl=es#v=snippet&q=154&f=false this edition of James' book]. It may be because they changed the pages when they digitalized the book, but now I can't verify if they are okay and, more important, I can't add more references. I would appreciate it if you could help me solve this problem. Thanks in advance, [[User:Rubpe19|Rubp]][[User Talk:Rubpe19|e<sup>19</sup>]] 10:54, 21 September 2014 (UTC)
::::There is the same problem with the same book in other two articles, which are [[Action of 10 November 1808]] and [[Action of 6 April 1809]]. Greetings, [[User:Rubpe19|Rubp]][[User Talk:Rubpe19|e<sup>19</sup>]] 15:50, 23 September 2014 (UTC)

== WikiProject Good articles Future GAN Backlog Drive ==

Hello everyone! Hope you've all been having a great summer!

[[User:TheQ Editor|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 [[Wikipedia:WikiCup|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, [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/GA Cup|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 [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Good articles/GA Cup|here]]. Please let us know if you are interested, have any concerns, things to consider, etc.

--Dom497, Figureskatingfan, and TheQ Editor

WikiProject Good articles is holding a new competition, the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/GA Cup|'''GA Cup''']], from October 1, 2014 - March 28, 2015. The Cup will be based on reviewing [[WP:GAN|Good article nominations]]; for each review, points will be awarded with bonuses for older nominations, longer articles and comprehensive reviews. All participants will start off in one group and the highest scoring participants will go through to the second round. At the moment six rounds are planned, but this may change based on participant numbers.

Some of you may ask: what is the purpose for a competition of this type?  Currently, there is a backlog of about 500 unreviewed Good article nominations, almost an all time high.  It is our hope that we can decrease the backlog in a fun way, through friendly competition.

Everyone is welcome to join; new and old editors! [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/GA Cup/Sign-up|Sign-ups]] will be open until October 15, 2014 so sign-up now!

If you have any questions, take a look at the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/GA Cup/FAQ|FAQ page]] and/or contact one of the four judges.

Cheers from {{noping|NickGibson3900}}, {{noping|Dom497}}, {{noping|TheQ Editor}} and  {{noping|Figureskatingfan}}.

== [[HMS Laforey (1913)]] ==

Back in the far mists of time (i.e. 2006), you created the article [[HMS Laforey (1913)]], which I have recently been expanding. Can you remember what you used as a source for the ship's loss? I cannot find anything that isn't a Wikipedia mirror that gives some of the details in the article (i.e. taking place in convoy escort with ''Laertes'' and striking the mine on the return ship, etc. What sources I have found are inconsistant, and don't seem even to agree on the date of ''Laforey''{{'}}s sinking.[[User:Nigel Ish|Nigel Ish]] ([[User talk:Nigel Ish|talk]]) 17:16, 18 December 2014 (UTC)
