Hi.

Hi

Hi. This is a fairly trivial point, but shouldn't yours have been a Level 2 warning, not level 1? here. As I say - pretty minor (reply here if you wish). Regards, Trafford09 (talk) 08:56, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

Hey Trafford09, I got your point. Since you've already seen a 'General' (1) note there for this month, you'll expect a 'Caution' (2) note. But since the current edit is after 2 days of last edit, this IP can be a different user/editor. I may be wrong, but that's why I've again given L1 note.

Speedy deletion tag on Ashab E Kahf

Hi, just to let you know that I removed the speedy deletion template you put on Ashab E Kahf because, looking at the article history, I believe the editor was trying to create it as a redirect. Regards, --BelovedFreak 12:14, 31 October 2010 (UTC)

why few of the schoolz rank list information was deleted . also few of the schools achievements was also deleted . can i know why it is done so? 'http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harvard_University' had posted there achievements in there wiki article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Basilittan (talkcontribs) 18:57, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

Hey Basilittan, when we write an article about anything, we should take extreme care to use a neutral point of view. This should be an encyclopedia, not a personal website of the school. So the list of Outstanding Students, Motto, Achievements, SSLC Result of The School etc are unencyclopedic, since it fails to prove why it is important in a encyclopedic perspective rather than advertising the school. And while adding references, we should add only reliable sources. Orkut and Facebook cannot be considered as a reference, they are social networking sites. So In Social Network also should be removed. Please ask me if you've more doubts. I'll be happy to help you. Vipinhari || talk 03:22, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

Hi there, I know this new article is a little thin on detail, but in what way does it need to be wikified other than adding categories? I've been around for 5 years, so i probably should know better by now :) BillMasen (talk) 19:46, 28 November 2010 (UTC)

Hey, happy that you know things better, but nothing personal against you. ;) Just want to tag that there are no relevant internal links. Cheers, Vipinhari || talk 03:39, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

Editing articles for right information

Dear Vipinhari,

I have recent edited few of the articles ( expanded) in the anticipation that the readers will get factual and elaborate description of many articles that were posted in Wikipedia. Recently i came to know that my edits have been deleted.

there are many articles in Wikipedia which are not factual or convey a totally true information.Most of my edit have been cross checked with the official website of the respective companies.

if you look at the articles i have edited, you will see that the information was provided by the respective company official websites. These company websites do not have copyright laws and generally allow users and customers to use the information published in the company websites for education and informative purposes.

Please let me know as to how the article related to my "Ghanshyam Das Birla" is correct as detailed in Wikipedia. it gives wrong information. please correct the article as the dates and most of the information mentioned does not make any sense.

thanks Sincerely

Please Help With Article

Please help with advice on how to rewrite or change the article titled: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debbie_The_Laughing_Dolphin so that it is not deleted for spam links, or promoting a product or company. The article does contain links to sites that are commercial, including the official site, and businesses such as TV stations that support the site but this is needed to provide factual references for the content being discussed. For example the link to kwhe TV channel 14 , is directly to the television program guide which can verify that Debbie "The laughing" Dolphin is actually regular scheduled programming on that stations channel as reported in the article. There is no promotion or advertising for Debbie_The_Laughing_Dolphin on this page. And readers actually have to enter the time and days listed in the article into the TV program guide on the stations web site to find the show. There are also links to the companies official web site which is again needed to verify the show as it is described in the article. The links to videos on youtube is needed because the article describes a pioneering television technique that was adapted from collabs onYouTube, and the reader needs references to examples of the format. Overall the article is within the scope and other Wikik articles that cover television characters for children created and or broadcast by commercial companies such as

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mickey_Mouse

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barney_the_dinosaur#Cast_and_Crew.

These articles contain links to official company web sites as well as commercial sites. Again if there is a more appropriate format for providing the references and links please advise. Thanks you for you help. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DeggieisMJ (talkcontribs) 19:38, 4 August 2011 (UTC)

Hey Lokanathan, thanks for messaging me. As you may be aware, in Wikipedia we cannot create profiles like we do in Facebook/LinkedIn. This encyclopedia works by the basic principle of verifiability, neutrality and by avoiding original research. Each and every bit of information we add to a Wikipedia page should have multiple reliable sources (see what counts as a reliable source) to verify the claims.
And as a policy Wikipedia discourages people from writing about themselves. Please read the articles on adding a Wikipedia page about living persons and avoiding writing or editing an article about yourself when you find time. Feel free to contact me if you need more clarifications, I'll be happy to help you. Vipinhari || talk 11:41, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

GOCE March 2012 Backlog Elimination progress graph

Greetings from the Guild of Copy Editors March 2012 Backlog elimination drive! This is the most successful drive we have had for quite a while. Here is your end-of-drive wrap-up newsletter.

Participation

Of the 70 people who signed up for this drive, 40 copy-edited at least one article. Thanks to all who participated! Special acknowledgement goes out to Lfstevens, who did over 200 articles, most of them in the last third of the drive, and topped all three leaderboard categories. You're a superstar! Stfg and others have been pre-checking the articles for quality and conformance to Wikipedia guidelines; some have been nominated for deletion or had some preliminary clean-up done to help make the copy-edit process more fun and appealing. Thanks to all who helped get those nasty last few articles out of the target months.

Progress report

During this drive we were successful in eliminating our target months—October, November, and December 2010—from the queue, and have now eliminated all the 2010 articles from our list. We were able to complete 500 articles this month! End-of-drive results and barnstar information can be found here.

When working on the backlog, please keep in mind that there are options other than copy-editing available; some articles may be candidates for deletion, or may not be suitable for copy-editing at this time for other reasons. The {{GOCEreviewed}} tag can be placed on any article you find to be totally uneditable, and you can nominate for deletion any that you discover to be copyright violations or completely unintelligible. If you need help deciding what to do, please contact any of the coordinators.

Thank you for participating in the March 2012 drive! All contributions are appreciated. Our next copy-edit drive will be in May.

Just Saying Hello

Hi Vipinhari I'm just saying hello

I'm jeffrey: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Jeffrey_Scott_Longstaff

I saw you had an edit last 2011 (just an "undo" I think)on this page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bartenieff_Fundamentals

Just saying "hi" - I'm kind of new to this, but I'm doing quite a few edits to up-date all pages related to Rudolf Laban and Laban movement analysis and Labanotation

I don't have any questions, I'm just gradually finding my way. I'm hoping to really develop all the Laban-related pages. I'm doing it while also communicating and getting feedback and requests from the general world-wide Laban Community (communicating with them on the 2 main listservs)

Well, ... I'm a little bit not sure about bibliographic format and citation format. I know how to do it in my own papers, but from what i can tell there is not any 1 single prescribed format at Wiki. I did look at help pages for that, but frankly there were too many options. -- All I wanted is one clear single set of examples, then I'll follow them.

I'll probably follow the format I usually have used (based on APA style) http://www.laban-analyses.org/jeffrey/bibliographic_format.htm

Though, I'm sure there are MANY wiki shortcuts that i have not learned yet.... I'll find those as I go along

well, best wishes! Jeffrey Scott Longstaff — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jeffrey Scott Longstaff (talkcontribs) 04:34, 25 August 2012 (UTC)

GOCE mid-drive newsletter

Guild of Copy Editors September 2012 backlog elimination drive mid-drive newsletter

  • Participation: Out of 37 people signed up for this drive so far, 19 have copy-edited at least one article, about the same as the last drive. If you've signed up but haven't yet copy-edited any articles, every bit helps; if you haven't signed up yet, it's not too late. Join us!
  • Progress report: We're almost on track to meet our targets for the drive. Great work, guys. We have reduced our target group of articles—August, September, and October 2011—by about 44%, and the overall backlog has been reduced by 58 articles so far, to around 2600 articles. The biggest difference between this drive and the previous one is a stronger focus on large articles, so total word counts are still comparable.
  • Don't forget about the Copy Edit of the Month contests! Voting for the August contest has been extended through the end of the month. You don't have to make a submission to vote!

  • Participation: Out of 31 people signed up for this drive so far, 22 have copy-edited at least one article. If you've signed up but haven't yet copy-edited any articles, every bit helps; if you haven't signed up yet, it's not too late. Join us!
  • Progress report: We're on track to meet our targets for the drive. We have reduced our target group of articles—November and December 2011—by over 50%, and 34 of the the 56 requests made in September and October this year have already been fulfilled. However, the rate of tagging for copy edit has increased, and this month we are just keeping the size of the backlog stable. So, all you copy editors, please do come along and help us!
  • The September 2012 Copy Edit of the Month Contest was won by Baffle gab1978 for his copy edit of Expulsion of the Acadians. Runner up was Gareth Griffith-Jones for his edit of I Could Fall in Love. Congratulations to both.
  • The October 2012 Copy Edit of the Month Contest is in the discussion and voting stage until midnight November 30 (UTC). You don't have to make a submission to vote!
  • November 2012 Copy Edit of the Month Contest is in the submissions stage until midnight November 30 (UTC), when discussion and voting begin.
  • Seasonal oversight: We had a slight fall from grace in the title of our last newletter, which mentioned the season in the northern hemisphere and thus got it wrong for the southern. Fortunately an observant GOCE member was ready to spring into action to advise us. Thanks! In future we'll stay meteorologically neutral.
