== Speedy deletion ==

From the article I created ([[Candace Nelson]]) you tagged as an A7 Speedy deletion, the article says
{{Cquote|Along with Florian Bellanger and a rotating judge, she is a judge on the competition series Cupcake Wars show. She has also been on The Best Thing I Ever Ate and has been a judge on Bobby Flay's Throwdown show. Nelson has also been featured on television shows including The Today Show, Nightline, and has been profiled in People magazine. Her famous cupcakes have been highlighted by The Oprah Winfrey Show, Bon Appetit magazine, Food and Wine, The New York Times and the Los Angeles Times.[2]}}

Seems notable to me. [[User:Tommy2010|<font color="black">Tommy!</font>]] [[User talk:Tommy2010|[<font color="blue">message</font>]]] 00:06, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

==Article for deletion==
[[Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Cathedral (Charlotte, North Carolina)]] seems like a pretty notable church to me, and so far most other people think so on the article's deletion entry page. It is obviously notable, but if you do not think the article says enough then I suggest you add to it, instead of nominating it for deletion. --[[User:Willthacheerleader18|Willthacheerleader18]] ([[User talk:Willthacheerleader18|talk]]) 14:15, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

There are tons of neighborhood articles on this page that are one sentence long and have zero outside sourcing. This one has an independent source, lots of statistics, and has an entire paragraph of writing.

I've spent many hours this week working on the Lexington neighborhoods project. 

So this page [Ashville, Louisville] meets Wiki standard, but mine don't??? You are truly an a$$hole

== [[Venice High School (Venice, Florida)]] ==

WikiCopter--please tell me you're kidding. You want ME to find consensus on the rarely visited talk page of an article on a school that contains text like this, "Venice High faces many teen issues related to families struggling with drug and alcohol abuse"? Completely unsourced, ridiculously vague, and insulting to boot? Are you not interested at all in sources for, get ready for it,<blockquote>"In past years, students have attended colleges such as [[University of Florida]], [[University of Central Florida]], [[Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University]], [[Florida State University]], [[New College of Florida]], [[University of South Florida]], [[Florida Gulf Coast University]], [[University of Miami]], [[University of Tampa]], [[Saint Leo University]], [[State College of Florida, Manatee-Sarasota]], and [[Santa Fe College]].

With all due respect, with your two combined accounts you have 1,400 edits, and the person who confirmed your revert of my edit has less than 1,800.

::If it's because of [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Contest/Entries|this]], than I suggest you should drop out or work on your own articles, like [[Arado Ar E.381]] and other milhist articles you either want to or can make instead of pre-made GA's. Your situation happened with me, just I got spun into the other need points vortex.

{{od}}I gather you've been busy nominating articles for ACR class, articles that you've done little work for. I do understand the reason behind it, but remember that a lot of the joy you get from the articles as they move through the class system comes not from the points you receive in the contest but the feeling you get watching a masterpiece of your creation evolve. In penning his [[Bixby letter|letter to Mrs. Bixby]], Lincoln sited "...the solemn pride that must be yours to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of freedom." That same solemn pride also comes from within as an article moves toward FA-class, but it means so much more when the editor who worked on the article has been with it since the article was a stub, a small piece of information assigned no greater importance than the task of answering in plainest terms the question its audience came to ask. To watch such an article move to start, then B, GA, A and finally FA-class is to watch your hard work evolve and take on a new and greater meaning, and without that any point score and any award received would be rendered nothing more than a hollowed shell. 

Policy holds that [[WP:OWN|we do not own any article on site]], thus editors can not claim to have a specific area which is theirs and theirs alone, but to compensate for that editors are permitted to [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Academy/Maintaining an article|maintain articles]] here provided they do so within the limits set forth by the ownership policy. In this respect then many editors who have earned tenure of some sort are afforded a unique honor: the community will allow these men and women to take the lead role in ensuring that the article(s) they have spent so much time and energy working on. As a result, this has become an unwritten rule, though the reflections of the rule can be seen if you know where to look. Every article of higher ranking has an [[Template:ArticleHistory|article history template]] which lists the events that lead the article to be where it is now, each nomination had to have a nominator. [[Template:Featured article tools|Tools]] used during the FA and A-class reviews display the number of edits and the editor who made them so that the community can see whose hard work is being honored. Finally, many articles ranking at or above GA-class sport a {{tl|maintained}} template that lists at least one person who is actively involved with the article (usually the person responsible for its current rank, or in the case of demoted articles, the highest rank the article had), and as such responsibility for the work that must been done to ensure that the article moves up in the assessment chart - or in the case of the FA-class articles, retains its FA star - is usually understood to rest with him or her. 

Under the circumstances I see this as a no harm, no foul incident, and as MBK or Ed would tell you I am willing to forgive and forget. I admire the bold spirit, we just need to get you pointed in the right direction so you can fire it at will ;) [[User:TomStar81|TomStar81]] ([[User talk:TomStar81|Talk]]) 23:06, 15 September 2010 (UTC)

== A1 (Croatia) copyedit ==

Hi! Thanks for copyediting the [[A1 (Croatia)]] article - I see you made quite an effort there during September 12-14, however I am not sure if there is anything else you wanted to do with the article or not, since GoCEinuse template is still up at the top of the article, but there's no activity recorded in the article history in past three days. I don't mean to rush you or anything like that, it's just that I'm not sure whether to remove the goceinuse template as instructed by the template itself or not? Thanks!--[[User:Tomobe03|Tomobe03]] ([[User talk:Tomobe03|talk]]) 13:33, 18 September 2010 (UTC)

== Welcome to Assessment with Wikiproject: U.S. public policy ==
Thank you for assessing with the PPI, assessing with this project will probably be different than assessing with other projects in Wikipedia. It's different because the many of the articles are stub, start, or C class, and we are not working to assess long lists of articles, but will have multiple reviewers assessing the same set of articles. We are looking for Wikipedians who want to take a more in depth look at assessment and help define what is article quality. Please go to the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_United_States_Public_Policy/Assessment#Assessment_Team| WP:USPP Assessment page]] to find more details and [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_United_States_Public_Policy/Assessment#Assessment_Team_Members.27_Requests_and_Results| your assessment page]] with the first group of articles for you to evaluate.

We are half-way through our final round, entering the home straight. {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant|TonyTheTiger}} leads at the time of writing with 1180 points, immediately followed by {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant|Sasata}} with 1175 points. {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant|Sturmvogel_66}} closely follows in third place with 1100 points. For those who are interested, data about the finalists has been compiled at [[Wikipedia:WikiCup/History/2010/finalists]], while a list of content submitted by all WikiCup contestants prior to this round has been compiled at [[Wikipedia:WikiCup/History/2010/Submissions]]. As ever, anything contestants worry may not receive the necessary attention before the end of the round (such as outstanding GA or FA nominations) is welcome at [[Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews]], and please remember to continue offering reviews yourself where possible. As always, the judges are available to contact via email, IRC or their talk pages, and general discussion about the Cup is welcome on the [[WT:CUP|WikiCup talk page]].

Despite controversy, the WikiCup remains open. [[Wikipedia:WikiCup/2011 signups|Signups for next year's competition are more than welcome]], and suggestions for how next year's competition will work are appreciated at [[Wikipedia talk:WikiCup/Scoring]]. More general comments and discussions should be directed at the WikiCup talk page. One month remains in the 2010 WikiCup, after which we will know our champion.

== PPI Assessment Follow-up==
Hi WikiCopter, thank you for assessing articles in the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_United_States_Public_Policy| Wikiproject: United States Public Policy]]. This project is probably different than other assessment drives you have worked on, it involves more assessment of lower ranked articles, it has input and staff from the foundation, and specific goals to improve and measure content of public policy articles. It also involves collaboration from some university classes, we are using an experimental assessment rubric, and most articles will be assessed by multiple reviewers to get a range of scores for each article. I have learned a lot from many of the  assessors comments and am really excited about the insight from this group of Wikipedians. I hope you are finding some benefits to involvement in this project. 1) your assessments are part of research that is attempting to increase credibility of Wikipedia in academic circles, 2) there is a great group of assessors involved in [[Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_United_States_Public_Policy/Assessment|discussion of what is article quality and how to measure it]], 3) WP:USPP is also piloting the [http://techblog.wikimedia.org/2010/09/article-feedback-pilot-edit-this-feature/ Article Feedback tool], so if interested, those involved in assessment on the project will be asked to help improve and rate this tool as well, and 4) subject matter experts are assessing articles alongside Wikipedians and comparisons of results will provide some insight as to the rigor of Wikipedia quality rating. 

To give you an update on assessment, about half of the assessments are complete for the first part of this first assessment. I had some trouble finding public policy experts to join us in assessing, but finally managed to recruit a group last week, hopefully some of them will join the discussion on the assessment talk page. Next week, I should have some preliminary results to share with you, I will also post the second assessment request very soon. The discussion on the talk page is very exciting, and I hope if you are interested, you will provide input on the Article Feedback Tool which is being piloted on articles in WP:USPP. Please let me know if there is anything I and the project team can do to make working on this project a more positive experience. Thanks again, [[User:ARoth (Public Policy Initiative)|ARoth (Public Policy Initiative)]] ([[User talk:ARoth (Public Policy Initiative)|talk]]) 23:44, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

== AIV report ==

Hi.  Concerning the report you made for {{user|82.24.240.148}}, it might be worth pointing out that the IP seems to be changing numbers that were previously put there by the same IP.  Nobody ever seems to have made any attempt to give the editor any feedback other than vandalism templates.  The IP has been blocked by another admin and I won't alter that, but I don't think this is a very useful approach.  Regards, [[User:Looie496|Looie496]] ([[User talk:Looie496|talk]]) 22:08, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

== [[Arado E.381]] ==

I've finished the copyedit as requested though some of the tense choices were confusing, it is sometimes referred to in the past as if it were actually built: "The first version, the Arado Ar E.381/I, had a fuselage with a circular cross-section and a small round window in the nose for pilot vision" though other parts are written as if it wasn't built, just considered: "It was intended to be launched from a carrier aircraft". I've added two tags you have to fix up. Also, there is a GA icon though the talk page says it is start and B class, clarification is needed. Overall, it wasn't bad. Keep up the good work!

== 69.117.25.131 ==

Is there a reason that you issued a level three warning to the IP 69.117.25.131, who did not have any other warnings for the month, and indeed no other ''edits'' this year? I am just wondering, because it seems odd. <span style="text-shadow:#1e90ff 0.10em 0.10em 0.10em">[[User:Sven Manguard|<span style="color:black;">Sven Manguard</span>]] <sub style="text-shadow:#ffd700 0.14em 0.14em 0.14em">[[User talk:Sven Manguard|<b style="color:black;">Talk</b>]]</sub></span> 00:15, 24 October 2010 (UTC)
:That was obvious vandalism, and other users usually issue level3 warnings for blatant vandalism. Besides, it's easy to change IPs, if only to throw me off.

::I think those instructions are meant for the idealistic case where a portal starts as a collaboration.

[http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:WikiProject_Military_history/Operation_Majestic_Titan/Phase_I&diff=prev&oldid=393898234 I see] that you are working on [[Iowa class battleship]]. You realize we had [[User_talk:WikiCopter#A-Class_reviews|this conversation]] above in September? Although Tom does not "own" the article, I would like to think that there would be some common courtesy among OMT members with regards to Tom's work. Did you ask to collaborate? I certainly do not want to see you nom the article at ACR for FAC without his blessing (the credit for the article belongs to him due to the five years of dedication to it). -'''[[User:MBK004|MBK]]'''<sub>[[User talk:MBK004|004]]</sub> 06:16, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
:Whoa, whoa, whoa. As you say, we've had this conversation before, and I assume that Copter isn't planning on nominating it without at the least offering Tom a conom. ''However'', when was the last time Tom actually worked on the article? The FAR work was just removing unreliably sourced or unsourced content. In the GA review, Brad did most of the clean up. The "Design" section? Written in its entirety by me. Tom was the original author in 2005, but let's be honest and admit that the article is not going to get back to FA or even A without someone else giving it major help and TLC. Stop attacking Copter and stop owning the article; allow a willing volunteer to come in and help us.

::As I have recently borrowed multiple books on the subject of the Iowas, I have decided to do some work, seeing that it has been demoted from FA to GA.

:::Copter, I just went out of my way to defend your work on the article, and now you go and nom it for A-class without even asking Tom to conom with you?

However, it is coming off that you are finding articles that have been worked on for a great deal of time, and slapping your name on them for some credit in a contest. We would love your help in improving the article, but it has to be a collaboration, not a one-man show. Since there are ''many'' editors with a vested interest in the ''Iowa'' article, and consensus should have been made before nominating the article for anything.

== WikiCup 2010 October newsletter ==

[[File:Trophy.png|right]]
The 2010 WikiCup is over! It has been a long journey, but what has been achieved is impressive: combined, participants have produced over seventy featured articles, over five hundred good articles, over fifty featured lists, over one thousand one hundred "did you know" entries, in addition to various other pieces of recognised content. A full list (which has yet to be updated to reflect the scores in the final round) can be found [[Wikipedia:WikiCup/History/2010/Submissions|here]]. Perhaps more importantly, we have our winner! The 2010 WikiCup champion is {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant|Sturmvogel_66}}, with an unbelievable 4220 points in the final round. Second place goes to {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant|TonyTheTiger}}, with 2260, and third to {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant|Casliber}}, with 560. Congratulations to our other four finalists&nbsp;– {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant|White Shadows}}, {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant|William S. Saturn}}, {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant|Staxringold}} and {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant|ThinkBlue}}. Also, congratulations to {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant|Sasata}}, who withdrew from the competition with an impressive 2685 points earlier in this round.

Prizes will also be going to those who claimed the most points for different types of content in a single round. It was decided that the prizes would be awarded for those with the highest in a round, rather than overall, so that the finalists did not have an unfair advantage. Winning the featured article prize is {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant|Casliber}}, for five featured articles in round 4. Winning the good article prize is {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant|Sturmvogel_66}}, for eighty-one good articles in round 5. Winning the featured list prize is {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant|Staxringold}}, for six featured lists in round 1. Winning the picture and sound award is {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant|Jujutacular}}, for four featured pictures in round 3. Winning the topic award is {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant|Sturmvogel_66}}, for forty-seven articles in various good topics in round 5. Winning the "did you know" award is {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant|TonyTheTiger}}, for over one hundred did you knows is round 5. Finally, winning the in the news award is {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant|Candlewicke}}, for nineteen articles in the news in round three.

The WikiCup has faced criticism in the last month&nbsp;– hopefully, we will take something positive from it and create a better contest for next year. Like Wikipedia itself, the Cup is a work in progress, and ideas for how it should work are more than welcome on the [[WT:CUP|WikiCup talk page]] and on the [[Wikipedia talk:WikiCup/Scoring|scoring talk page]]. Also, people are more than welcome to sign up for next year's competition on [[Wikipedia:WikiCup/2011 signups|the signup page]]. Well done and thank you to everyone involved&nbsp;– the Cup has been a pleasure to run, and we, as judges, have been proud to be a part of it. We hope that next year, however the Cup is working, and whoever is running it, it will be back, stronger and more popular than ever. Until then, goodbye and happy editing! <small>If you wish to start receiving or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from [[Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send]].</small> [[User:J Milburn|J Milburn]], [[User:Fox|Fox]] and [[User:The ed17|The ed17]] 03:13, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

== [[Arado E.381]] Milhist ACR closed as unsuccessful ==

I've closed the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Assessment/Arado Ar E.381|review]] as '''no consensus''' to promote the article at this time. I hope you aren't too discouraged by this result, especially as it's the article's second ACR, because there are many positive comments as well as a number of others on the review page that should be helpful to you in developing the article further. You have produced an interesting article on an obscure aircraft (I certainly learned quite a bit reading it!) and should be proud of your achievement so far. Thank you for your continued dedication to article improvement and the Military history WikiProject. All the best, [[User:EyeSerene|<span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#4B0082">EyeSerene</span>]]<sup>[[User talk:EyeSerene|<span style="color:#6B8E23">talk</span>]]</sup> 10:11, 10 November 2010 (UTC)
:No problems, I'm guessing next time, after I get some more sourced information and citations out on that article, it'll pass (3 tries, patience and perseverance is neccesary!).

== Your opinion ==

Hey, WikiCopter, I recently changed [[Template:Executed]] from the Unicode character to an image. I don't know if the Unicode character rendered poorly for you (considering the white flag didn't render for you), but since you were so outspoken against it, I was just wondering if you think it currently looks better. Regards, ''[[User:Swarm|<span style='color:black'><font face="Old English Text MT">Swarm</font></span>]]'' <sup>[[User talk:Swarm|<span style="color:blue;"><font face="old english text mt">X</font></span>]]</sup> 23:54, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

==GOCE Drive – Final push==
Greetings '''[[WP:GOCE|GOCE]] [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/November 2010|Backlog elimination drive]]''' participant, We are now coming up to the last few days of the drive, the last for 2010. Currently, it looks like we will achieve our target for reducing the backlog by 10%, however, we still have huge numbers for 2009. We have 55 participants in this drive. If everyone just clears 2 articles each, we will reduce the backlog by a further 110 articles. If everyone can just do 3 articles, we will hit 165. If you have yet to work on any articles and have rollover words, remember that you do need to copyedit at least a couple of articles in this drive for your previous rollover to be valid for the next drive. There are many very small articles that will take less than 5-10 minutes to copyedit. Use [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Guild_of_Copy_Editors/Backlog_elimination_drives#Finding_articles|CatScan]] to find them. Let's all concentrate our firepower on the first three months of 2009 as we approach the end of this final drive for the year. Thank you once again for participating, and see you at the finish line! – '''[[User:SMasters|SMasters]]''' ([[User talk:SMasters#top|talk]]) 04:02, 25 November 2010 (UTC)

The [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Wikify/Drives/2010/December|December 2010 Wikification Backlog Elimination Drive]] is about to begin.

:Okay. I'm guessing at what this is. You're saying that FPS was a sock of mine/AirplanePro's. I never saw Forgotpasswordsht before in my life. The only two accounts I have used were AirplanePro and WikiCopter. WikiCopter should be considered an exception to the rules, since I cannot edit from AirplanePro for technical reasons. I have read SOCK twice through already. Since I have edited before on library computers, the checkuser involved might have mistaken the library IP for a home computer or laptop. Really, there is another explanation for this. Also, do you know where the thread is now? I am going to post this reply there.

Sorry about not being on IRC last night when you came back. Something, most likely rain related, caused my internet to be down the rest of the night.[[User:Sumsum2010|<font color="#007AFF" ><b>Sumsum2010</b></font>]]<b>·</b>[[User talk:Sumsum2010|<font color="#7FFF00" ><b>T</b></font>]]<b>·</b>[[Special:Contributions/Sumsum2010|<font color="#FF7F00" ><b>C</b></font>]] 23:02, 21 December 2010 (UTC)
