 | On26 June 2012, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Erica Kennedy, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that Erica Kennedy's first novel, Bling, reached 35th on the New York Times Best Seller list and was optioned for a movie? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Erica Kennedy. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

I have a request. Could you please draw attention to the edits by 27.32.120.189 in the article Uudam. I think it's vandalism.

Thanks for uploading File:Seattle Great Wheel logo.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 04:42, 6 July 2012 (UTC)

Hi, thank you for pointing me to the book notability guidelines, I wasn't aware of those. I simply assumed that since two of the books already had articles, adding the others would be useful.
I've now merged all five together into a single article for the complete series, together with some basic character and universe information. I've changed the original 5 articles to redirect to this page. I've seen the same construction in several other book series, and it struck me as an efficient way of presenting the information.
Is this a good solution? Regards, --Itsacon (talk) 12:13, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

We are currently running a study on the effects of adding additional information to SuggestBot’s recommendations. Participation in the study is voluntary. Should you wish to not participate in the study, or have questions or concerns, you can find contact information in the consent information sheet.
We have added information about the quality of the suggested articles using a Low/Medium/High scale which goes from Low 
to High

SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work.

Hi, we’ve been running a research experiment with SuggestBot and would like to ask you some questions about Wikipedia and SuggestBot. You can find more information and the questions on this page.

Credo Reference, who generously 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:
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 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! Ocaasi t|c 17:11, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:The_Bushranger&action=edit§ion=9
It looks like The Bushranger removed Chas. H. Hansen Music Corp. I had thought that notability had been established. The publishing firm is notable. In its day (1970s), it was one of three of the biggest sheet music publishers of pop music on the planet. Moreover, Chas. H. Hansen was the exclusive sheet music U.S. publisher for the Beatles. Why wouldn't that alone carry the water? I've asked The Bushranger to email me the latest version so that I can critique it and determine whether it's fixable. Since you have followed this article, would you support restoring the article? My sense is that notability was evident, as written. Need of improvement would have been a proper tag, not removal. I may attempt to edit it in a way that might satisfy naysayers. Eurodog (talk) 04:29, 29 July 2012 (UTC)

Dear Cindamuse, some time ago you deleted Klein windhoek,namimbia, created by User:Kyknlos, as duplication. The situation is that Klein Windhoek is a suburb of Windhoek. Would you please be so kind to have a look at the deleted article again---and if it contains a suitable reference, and is not indeed just a duplication of Windhoek, undelete it somewhere to my user space or to main space? Thanks a lot in advance, --Pgallert (talk) 14:53, 30 July 2012 (UTC)HunterSmith (talk) 19:13, 1 August 2012 (UTC)
I've had to decline your speedy deletion nomination of North Sea Boats. In this case, G11 isn't applicable because the article isn't written in a promotional tone. A7 isn't applicable because it is very limited in scope, and in this case the article subject is a trade name, which isn't covered by A7. However, you're free to submit this article for deletion using PROD or AfD, because I have strong doubts about its notability. Even so, it doesn't qualify for speedy deletion.--Slon02 (talk) 16:28, 1 August 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for your interest in the Trafficking in persons in Argentina article and for your note on my talk page. I have just started translating this article, and have placed a "translated from" template on the talk page and an "under construction" template on the project page. If you can think of more templates I should use, please let me know.
As I see you are interested in the topic of human trafficking, you may also be interested in the Susana Trimarco and Marita Veron articles. Susana's daughter Marita was kidnapped in Argentina ten years ago and is still missing. Public officials and local police, as well as organized crime figures, were implicated in the kidnapping. There has been legislation in response to Trimarco's efforts, and this is included in the article currently under translation. These three articles are interconnected in the Spanish Wikipedia. The Marita Veron article I translated in one sitting, which was kind of long, so I want to take a little more time with this one, especially since there are a lot of legal terms and I may have to do more checking — and since I am actually supposed to be doing a job search right now. :)
Trimarco has been nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize, but so much of the information about her efforts is only available in Spanish. After I created the Trimarco article, BBCNews decided to do a piece on her. I can't help but wonder if the BBC editors who decided to do the piece looked at the Wikipedia article first, and saw a topic with some substance. Hopefully this translation of the trafficking article will help add a public policy element to what is already a compelling human interest story. It is also possible that the committee that reviews the candidates for the Nobel Prize will see these articles. So, although the articles need more polish and a bit of wikifying, my current priority is to just get the information out there in English, in case there is more publicity surrounding the Nobel prize nomination that will help to get this subject more in the public eye.
