Anyway. You're getting this note because you've participated in discussion and/or asked for updates to either the [[WP:AFT5|Article Feedback Tool]] or [[WP:NPT|Page Curation]]. This isn't about either of those things, I'm afraid ;p. We've recently started working on yet another project: Echo, a notifications system to augment the watchlist. There's not much information at the moment, because we're still working out the scope and the concepts, but if you're interested in further updates you can sign up [[Wikipedia:Editor engagement/Echo|here]].

Would be great to get this article to GA. It is on the list of articles to be translated as part of this project. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Medicine/Translation_task_force] To get it there we need to make sure we use nearly exclusively review articles or major textbooks from the last 3-5/10 years per [[WP:MEDRS]].

==Disambiguation link notification for August 30==

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited [[Birth control]], you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page [[Water retention]] ([[tools:~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/Birth_control|check to confirm]]&nbsp;|&nbsp;[[tools:~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/Birth_control|fix with Dab solver]]). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. <small>Read the [[User:DPL bot/Dablink notification FAQ|FAQ]]{{*}} Join us at the [[Wikipedia:Disambiguation pages with links|DPL WikiProject]].</small>

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these [[User:DPL bot|opt-out instructions]]. Thanks, [[User:DPL bot|DPL bot]] ([[User talk:DPL bot|talk]]) 12:02, 30 August 2012 (UTC)

== [[Bowling Green State University]] GA ==

Thanks again for a comprehensive and thorough GA review. You caught me on a good cpl days, my first free time for Wikipedia in awhile. I went through the article, esp the history section and corrected the copyvio you noted. I also paraphrased the areas that sounded like close paraphrases themselves. I also added info on tuition and graduation rates as suggested. After I took excerpts from the article and googled them, no outstanding copyvios/close paraphrasing appeared. Feel free to check it anytime now that the majority of concerns are solved. If you have any further, I'd be happy to address them as well [[User:Bhockey10|Bhockey10]] ([[User talk:Bhockey10|talk]]) 20:55, 30 August 2012 (UTC)

== Gadget for subst'ing Cite_journal ==
I have created a quick gadget {subst:[[Template:Fcite_journal/subst]]|...} which can store subst'ed {Cite_journal} entries as simple wiki-text, omitting the &lt;span class=...> and tedious [[COinS]] metadata. Unfortunately, there are still some formatting characters stored, such &#32 for space and "&lt;b/>;" for semicolons, due to restrictions in storing lead-spaces or semicolons in text. However, the resulting text is portable to other wikis, which lack {Cite_journal}. Example (edit this talk-topic and look inside for results):
<pre>{&#123;subst:Fcite journal/subst
| last1 = Chin | first1 = H. B. | last2 = Sipe | first2 = T. A.
| last3 = Elder | first3 = R. | last4 = Mercer | first4 = S. L.
| last5 = Chattopadhyay | first5 = S. K. | last6 = Jacob | first6 = V.
| last7 = Wethington | first7 = H. R. | last8 = Kirby | first8 = D.
| last9 = Elliston | first9 = D. B.
| doi = 10.1016/j.amepre.2011.11.006
| title = The Effectiveness of Group-Based Comprehensive Risk-Reduction and Abstinence Education Interventions to Prevent or Reduce the Risk of Adolescent Pregnancy, Human Immunodeficiency Virus, and Sexually Transmitted Infections

<br>The {Fcite_journal/subst} handles most options of {Cite_journal} and puts "et al." for author9. Meanwhile, I am still working with [[Template:If]] to replace the "&#32" with simple spaces, but feel free to use it as needed. I know many articles have like "46" {cite_journal} entries, which can be too tedious for wiki-reformatting by hand. The next step, below, is to replace all {cite_pmid} entries.


==AFT5 newsletter==
'''Subst'ing Cite_pmid to Cite_journal to Fcite_journal/subst:''' To answer your original problem, edit the new page ''twice'', copying all {cite_pmid} to the new page. First subst all of the {cite_pmid|222333} as slashed {subst:cite_pmid/222333|noedit}, and then re-edit that subst'ed page and subst all the new {cite_journal} entries:
Hey all; another newsletter.
::* '''Edit 1:''' Subst every {cite_pmid} with "/"
:::: {subst:cite_pmid/111222|noedit}
:::: {subst:cite_pmid/111333|noedit}
:::: {subst:cite_pmid/111444|noedit}
:::: Upon SAVE, all {cite_pmid/...} become {cite_journal} entries.
::* '''Edit 2:''' Subst every {cite_journal} with "F /subst"
:::: {subst:Fcite_journal/subst |... pmid=111222|...}
:::: {subst:Fcite_journal/subst |... pmid=111333|...}
:::: {subst:Fcite_journal/subst |... pmid=111444|...}
By that 2-step process, then all {cite_pmid} will become simple wiki-text cites with no more templates in use. Should take just a few minutes to convert all 46 {cite_pmid} to clean, portable wiki-text. Ask below if any questions. -[[User:Wikid77|Wikid77]] ([[User talk:Wikid77|talk]]) 19:29, 7 September 2012 (UTC)
==Carbon neutral fuel = OR?==
You might talk to a chemist before creating a topic in the chemistry area. We have a project and we discuss topics and debtate them. I suspect that [[Carbon-neutral fuel]] is something that would attract some debate. I also encourage you to upgrade or trim the references in keeping with the standard recommended here - [[WP:SECONDARY]], which means that references should largely be to reviews, books. Books and reviews are venues that have undergone analysis and scholarly digestion, whereas journal articles are not of this quality. Things like MS theses are too weak for referencing. Memoranda within some government are probably not good enough either.--[[User:Smokefoot|Smokefoot]] ([[User talk:Smokefoot|talk]]) 13:07, 8 September 2012 (UTC)

This is not a newsletter

[edit]

This is just a tribute.

Anyway. You're getting this note because you've participated in discussion and/or asked for updates to either the Article Feedback Tool or Page Curation. This isn't about either of those things, I'm afraid ;p. We've recently started working on yet another project: Echo, a notifications system to augment the watchlist. There's not much information at the moment, because we're still working out the scope and the concepts, but if you're interested in further updates you can sign up here.

In addition, we'll be holding an office hours session at 21:00 UTC on Wednesday, 14 November in #wikimedia-office - hope to see you all there :). I appreciate it's an annoying time for non-Europeans: if you're interested in chatting about the project but can't make it, give me a shout and I can set up another session if there's enough interest in one particular timezone or a skype call if there isn't.
