Incomplete DYK nomination

Hello! Your submission of Template:Did you know nominations/Energy in Africa at the Did You Know nominations page is not complete; see step 3 of the nomination procedure. If you do not want to continue with the nomination, tag the nomination page with {{db-g7}}, or ask a DYK admin. Thank you. DYKHousekeepingBot (talk) 03:27, 27 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

A barnstar for you!

	The Original Barnstar
	Keep up the good work on Energy in Africa! It is much appreciated! Cerebellum (talk) 02:33, 29 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I just saw your post at WikiProject Africa about the Energy in Africa article. I like the direction you are taking the article and I am excited to see how it ends up! One thing I wanted to caution you on was where you mentioned using the article to support an argument about the appropriate use of energy. Wikipedia is committed to maintaining a neutral point of view, so we can't use articles to make a point - we have to present the facts in an objective, encyclopedic manner. Let me know if you have any questions or if there's anything I can do to help with the article, it's great to see such an important topic getting attention! You'll notice I've placed a tag on the top of the article to alert readers that it's currently being edited, feel free to remove that when you're finished. Cheers, --Cerebellum (talk) 02:54, 29 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! Your submission of Energy in Africa at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and some issues with it may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) underneath your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! Pgallert (talk) 06:56, 8 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Cerebellum! Thank you very much for your input. I took your point of integrating a neutral point of view into account by reorganizing the article, so that the focus is not solely on the appropriate use of energy and the benefits of this appropriate use. Also, thank you for the alert banner. Please take care. CarolineABrigham (talk) 04:19, 20 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your notification, Pgallert - I greatly appreciate it. CarolineABrigham (talk) 04:19, 20 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Don't mention it. DYK is a process with strict deadlines, I'm sorry that the submission was turned down. If you have something to nominate again, don't hesitate to ask me for help. Cheers, Pgallert (talk) 13:21, 20 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

A reference problem

Hi! Some users have been working hard on Category:Pages with broken reference names. Here you added a lot of new references but didn't define it. This has been showing as an error at the bottom of the article. "Cite error: The named reference REFNAME was invoked but never defined (see the help page)." Can you take a look and work out what you were trying to do? Thanks -- Frze ^{> talk} 10:26, 5 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Absolutely! Thank you. CarolineABrigham (talk) 10:32, 5 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Returning the compliment

		The Exceptional Newcomer Award
		It is not often that someone dives directly into content development, is open to criticism, and accepts uninvited advice. Keep it up! --Pgallert (talk) 08:20, 18 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Plagiarism in Le Corbusier

Caroline, I've looked at the plagiarism you mentioned on my talk page. I checked for the earliest version of the Wikipedia page containing the relevant text using Wikiblame, which lets you specify a page and a string of text and will find when it was added. This gave me a date for the addition to Wikipedia. I compared that to whatever date I could find for the sources you listed; in some cases the source has an obvious date, but in other cases I used archive.org to search for earlier versions of the web pages to compare. In every case, it appears that the Wikipedia article actually precedes the other sources -- I wasn't able to be definite about every single link you provided, but the ones you indicated as being probably the source of the plagiarism do all seem to post-date the Wikipedia article.

So it looks as though the article is clean, which is a relief, of course. Thanks for taking the time to dig into it -- it looks like what you found is the huge amount of borrowing (usually without attribution) from Wikipedia that goes on! If you find more possible cases of plagiarism, please let me know; and if you'd like to know more about how I checked them, I'd be happy to give you more details.

Hello, I'm Waggers.

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
