Hello Sallicio. You have asked for a Bulagrian translation of "Happy Editing". This could roughly be translated in "Приятно редактиране". If you need any help with other bulgarian phrases or words, please let me know. Regards, BloodIce (talk) 23:18, 3 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

The fulltext should be:Здравейте! Казвам се Джеймс. Аз живях в Благоевград, България с моя баща (той беше професор в Американския университет там). Моля, кажете "Здравей" и приятно редактиране! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.120.148.211 (talk) 23:30, 3 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

Hey Sallicio. Nice to see you back.  :) I have one suggestion about your signature, but feel free to take it or leave it.

When you type four tildes (~~~~) to add your username and a timestamp, you don't need to also type your username (Sallicio). I personally don't mind, but some Wikipedians might find it odd.

If you want to know more about the general guidelines regarding signatures, see Wikipedia:Signatures - that page's only drawback is that it is a rather large document. (I just noticed that, might fix it later. ;)

Anyways, let me know what you think! --Iamunknown 06:09, 11 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

Your new signature looks good to me.  :)

One thing I would suggest, though, is to replace the TeX code (i.e. the <math>\color{Red} \oplus</math>) with a unicode character: ⊕ (or ⊕). Benefits: Shorter signature code (long signatures have been problematic in the past); Drawbacks: the character will not show up on all computers (such as where the computer lacks the requisite fonts, or where the browser is unicode-unaware), though I am unsure how many computers will be affected.

Also, Enigmaman is wise, so I would suggest that you listen to him too.  :)

Gah, sorry for my long posts! :P --Iamunknown 07:20, 11 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

You obviously have some problem with the inclusion of Officer Salvatore's name in that article. I have posted on the talk page justifying it's inclusion, yet YOU seem to blindly revert as soon as you see his name. Not only did you do that twice without justifying yourself (No, saying WP:BPL isn't a justification, I even went through it and found the section on inclusion of names and it supports INCLUSION of his name.), no, not only did you do that, but you even removed the all the sources I added, the sourced section with FURTHER ALLEGATIONS against him, and basically all my work. I am once more adding my sourced work, as I consider your revert to be masked vandalism of the article. Next time, check the talk page. 64.230.5.184 (talk) 04:19, 20 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

Hi - thanks for your message. Have you seen Wikipedia:Guide to requests for adminship? The determining factor is whether there is a consensus that a user can be trusted to know and uphold its policies and guidelines. Typically, editors commenting on an RfA will want to see evidence that the user is aware of the relevant policies and guidelines and that they have applied them in the past - or at least that mistakes have been learned from. When closing an RfA, it's unusual to get complete consensus, so bureaucrats customarily look for a high level of agreement. As a broad guideline, if more than around 75% of comments expressing support or opposition are in support, then consensus can probably be demonstrated; if less than 70% are in support, then consensus probably cannot be. For cases close to or in this "grey area", then it is particularly important to look through the comments to determine the strength and relevance of the support and opposition. In some cases, there may also be clear trends - for instance, an increase in opposition late on, once a particular action has been highlighted in the discussion.

Indeedie. Thanks for the advice. I've removed it from my watchlist. I was a complete idiot not to check WP:CDB before I answered that!

Well, more particularly, the quote. The cartoon isn't an issue, it's on quite a few pages. The quote, however, may be more controversial, and it's only fair that I give you the background on where it came from. I first publicly wrote those words in a rather politically charged user RfC which went on to be an equally politically charged Arbitration Committee case. That case, and the quote, has linked me rather indelibly to a very talented but controversial editor. I've been around long enough to have established a bit of a reputation separate from Giano, but you might want to think about whether or not you wish people to perceive that you are linked to him.

What is encyclopedic about them, unless they have been involved in notable events? DGG (talk) 00:16, 25 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

Do you mean county police departments? They are part of the governmental system (and also a part of a few WikiProjects such as WikiProject Law Enforcement and part of many categories). Some are more notable than others. But all are notable to some extent because of the basic criteria: verifiable references and third-party citations from local newspapers or other media outlets. I mostly write about Baltimore-DC area agencies making it very easy to verify notability (mostly because of the area's proximety to the nation's capital and the unusually high crime rates). However, some agencies such as Dorchester County Sheriff's Office (Maryland) on Maryland's eastern shore is not notable enough on its own, so I merged it into the county's parent article. I have done the same with some of the municipal departments that I have written about. I hope this is the answer you were looking for. By the way, what brought this up?

Hi Sallicio...thanks for the note on my talk page...sorry for being such a noob. I've been asked to create an article for a major contributor to our industry and someone who gets searched quite a bit. It's a page similar to a colleague of his by the name of Sean Compton (also on Wiki). I'm trying my best to follow the rules, but now am feeling overwhelmed. In terms of citation, I'm adding this info direct from the horse's mouth, as it were (from Marc Chase himself). I'm not sure how to cite that, and feel like if I don't have the answers now, when my back is turned, this work will be gone.

Would love some guidance if you don't mind. I'm also happy to expand further, both on the reasons why he should be included, and my reasons for including the material I have.

Thanks in advance! Baldilocks (talk) 02:59, 28 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

Hello! No worries! It's actually quite simple! For an article to be accepted it needs a few things:

1. Verifable references (not MySpace, YouTube, etc)
2. Third-party citations for notability (e.g., mainstream media)
3. Clear, concise, and well-written format

• Another hint is this: When creating articles, place this tab,"{{construction}} at the top of page. It lets other editors know that you are still working on it, and it will should give you time to bring it up to wiki standards (some editors can be like hungry wolves with the speedy delete tabs.
• Another hint is this: Be careful not create original research. Even if you are an expert in the subject matter, you still need to follow #1 and #2 from above. The reason is simple...no one knows that you are an expert except for you! So this is why even is Mr. Chase is telling you all of this about himself, it is no good. Also be aware that wikipedia is not an advertising forum. Check out WP:NOT. It may seem a little overwhelming, but it doesn't take long to get the hang of it!

Hi, declined speedy as not English is not necessarily a speedy deletion criterion. Subject appears notable, see talk. Please AfD if you wish. Cheers, Dlohcierekim 21:13, 13 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

Two things following on from the above.

1. Leaving a message to a brand new editor with the header "Welcome to the English Wikipedia but please don't be a troll" merely because they created a non-english page as you did here? Exceedingly bitey - please don't do that again.
2. If you're going to replace speedy deletion tags which I (or, indeed, any other admin) remove, then I suggest you spend a bit more time reading WP:CSD. The first tag placed was G1 - nonsense, in the sense of gibberish. The tag itself states that it doesn't apply to articles which are in a language other than English. You then replaced it with {{db-foreign}} with the edit summary "This is the English Wiki". Not the right action unless you can also show which non-english wiki it is reproduced from, in which case you should have included it as a parameter in the speedy deletion tag. If it's simply that it's not in english, tag it with {{notenglish}} and, as has happened, it's been translated into English.

Act like you did in this instance (and I'm not saying it's typical of your actions, necessarily) but you run the risk of (i) scaring off new editors, and (ii) potentially valid and valuable content being deleted out of hand. _GB^T/C 12:55, 14 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

I appreciate your point of view; however, a reasonable and prudent person would consider what the editor did as "trollish" at the least. Why would someone come to the English wiki and write an entire article in Afrikaans (or Dutch or whatever language that was)? That is simply common sense. And, "Welcome to the English Wikipedia but please don't be a troll" clearly does not fall within WP:BITE. If you look at my history [ahem, save my first few weeks when I was learning how to associate in the wikisociety ;)], I am notorious for staying level-headed and guiding those who do trollish things (look at the few entries above). If you continue with what I wrote after the heading, I go on to say that if he/she needs anything, that he/she is free to contact me on my talk page, ending with a very light-hearted, "Cheers!" I have helped many new editors from your fellow biting administrators. Second point, the tag ,{{db-nonsense}}, would have failed the speedy, because a foreign language is obviously not nonsense, and my {{db-foreign}} was more accurate (even though both were wrong). As to your (ii) point, the editor could have been writing about how to make a stable cold fusion generator that would have benefited mankind for ages but it still would have violated WP:N. I can appreciate your point of view, but I disagree with most of it. Last point: I understand that you are still a relatively new administrator but comments like, "If you're going to replace speedy deletion tags which I (or, indeed, any other admin) remove then I suggest..." are a bit borderline of "do-what-I-say-because-I-am-an-admin" and is indicative of future abuse of the mop (not that you would ever do such a thing, but don't forget what Jimbo said about WP:DEAL). However, I am always open to new schools of thought and I will try to be more diligent in the future when placing speedies on new page articles and I appreciate you keeping me on my toes! Good looking out! Happy editing!--Sallicio^{${\displaystyle \color {Red}\oplus }$}  22:48, 14 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

Ok, well, just a quickie to reply. Whatever their motivations, your message failed to assume good faith - {{uw-create1}} or {{uw-create2}} would have done just the same thing, but without biting them. Yes, you said "Cheers", and offered your help, but all that came after calling them a troll and warning them that they may be blocked - a warning which doesn't crop up until you get to {{uw-create3}}, a template which actively assumes bad faith, incidentally.

The question wasn't about whether the article violated WP:N at all - without knowing what the article said, and without knowing that it was directly ported from another Wiki, then no-one is in any place to make any judgment call about that - now that the article has been translated we can draw conclusions as to whether or not the person gets over the bar of notability.

Finally I wasn't remotely trying to say "do what I say because I'm an admin" - more "this is where you're going wrong, and how you can avoid it in the future" - ie. read WP:CSD and take a little more care about your tagging. If my words came across another way then I happily and readily apologise. The wider point is, though, that if I, or other admins, are removing tags and not deleting the article, then not only does it mean we don't think the article is speediable under that tag, it almost certainly means we don't think it's speediable under any tags - as we can "shoot on sight" when speedily deleting articles we don't have to wait for someone to tag an article with a category that it fits - we can just delete it and fill in our criteria on the deletion form. By removing the tag and not deleting the page, it's an indicator that we don't feel the page can be speedily deleted under any of the criteria.

Oh, and if you want to compare notes on rocky starts on Wikipedia, mine's been deleted. A beautifully formatted, illustrated and perfectly cited article about a completely made up individual. It was deleted less than 2 minutes later, and I got the standard {{uw-create1}} template. ;-) _{The public face of GB}^T/C 13:04, 15 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

Okay, I agree with most of what you say, save a few points as follows:

1. {{uw-create3}} states will be blocked; I stated may be blocked (just like your statement to me of, "this is where you're going wrong..."). Secondly, the uw-create series is a guideline not an absolute.
2. The points you made on your second paragraph are spot on except you should replace "admin" with editor. There is nothing special about admin edits. Anyone (except for the author) can remove or replace a speedy tag off of an article. You seem to be rather well-intentioned (and correct on most points), but just congratulate your adminship a bit much for my taste. A bit of advise to prevent others from misunderstanding your advise...leave the (I am admin, hear me roar) bits out of the commentary. In fact, I wouldn't even mention it at all unless you absolutely must. Most people will go to your userpage anyway just to see to whom they are talking (and there they will see the mop or whatever you have stating your possession of administrative tools).

Other than that, I appreciate the advise and I will adjust my future edits accordingly! Cheers!--Sallicio^{${\displaystyle \color {Red}\oplus }$}  16:48, 15 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for your thoughtful comments. Unfortunately, the Montessori name and method were never patented, so that anyone could use the name when opening a school. For instance, you could open the Sallicio Montessori school for Wiki lovers. That is why Maria Montessori herself created the Association Montessori Iternational, as an independent organization to accredit and certify schools so that parents within the community know that their children are receiving an authentic Montessori education. This is of the utmost importance. If there is any deception, it comes from misuse. Accreditation, therefore, is a rigorous and essential process that is conducted by an organization, independent of the particular school. Apart from a local newspaper clipping, which was referenced, the Association Montessori International is the only independent source of verification. Please advise.

Hello! For {{db-spam}} to apply, the article needs to be blatant advertising. For example, "The McKinnon Worker is a great magazine.

• So quoting the introduction "The McKinnon Worker is the world's best piece of writing ever created. It has often been labelled 'The Best Thing Since The Big Bang'. The newspaper/newsletter was founded by one Sir Linford Bennett, who's acheivements are infinite. Sir Linford, who is awesome is the editor of this creation and no doubt he could not have done it without the work of his friends." doesn't apply even though it promotes the magazine/newspaper/etc simply because it doesn't try to sell something.

I have created a template {{WikiProject Maryland/flag/animated}} using a commons image that could be used on the front page of the Maryland project. As you can see, I have configured it to fly behind the wiki-puzzle-world logo in the upper left portion of the screen. I will leave it there for a couple of days and invite your comments as to whether we should use it on our front page, or not.--«Marylandstater» ^«reply» 16:32, 9 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

Hi! I noticed you edited the headquarters location of the Prince George's County Sheriff's Office from Largo to Upper Marlboro at the top of that page. However, in the first paragraph under History, that page still states that the headquarters moved in 2000 to Largo and remains there. From my quick "research", http://www.co.pg.md.us/Government/JudicialBranch/Sheriff/ reports that the Office of the Sheriff is in Largo. Best regards. Spril4 (talk) 23:53, 28 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

I wasn't worried about it, I am just not going to take that kind of ignorance and bigotry from someone without having something to say. I know it's a game; silence to him means victory. I won't give him the satisfaction. Thank you for your sympathy. It's easy to see that my comment had nothing to do with him. I meant that most people outside of the teenybopper culture care about Hilary Duff. I simply don't see why people would even be offended by her remarks, it's not like she's of any real importance. I could see Waldorfers being offended if it was Condoleeza Rice or Sarah Palin who made the remark.JaMikePA (talk) 19:44, 22 September 2008 (UTC)Reply

Speaking as a guy who's been permanently blocked from Conservapedia three or four times, here's an explanation. You can do anything to the Obama article, provided it shows that Obama is an incompetent, America-hating, terrorist-loving Muslim. Anything else, you'll be permanently banned. They are not interested in fact, only slander. Ed blocked me once for suggesting some articles lacked references. Don't bother to point out WP policies to Ed, all he cares about is how much you hate them liberals. Go over to www.rationalwiki.com for more information about the absurdist website known as Conservapedia. Czolgolz (talk) 04:01, 2 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

I have commented on Ed's page, but let me add this now. Do not expect to be treated fairly or with respect at CP, that is not part of their modus operandi. They are solely interested in smearing liberals and preserving their own power base at CP. Do not expect to have a fulfilling experience at CP unless you are prepared to forget every ounce of common decency you have. Infantile insults and mockery are respected more than sensible argument. That is the way of conservapedia. Do check out Rationalwiki though, you might not agree with everything that goes on there, but at least its good for a laugh and its refreshing to find a wiki that doesn't take itself so seriously.--Dje123 (talk) 09:23, 2 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

Unfortunately, the above comments are accurate and not only is Ed unlikely to help, he's also one of the reasons Conservapedia is what it is.

Thanks for your input, Marine and Brother! Not having been a Marine, I don't speak from personal experience about Marine advancements, just the scuttlebutt (a good nautical term) that I have heard from Marines that I have been stationed with. I see your point of view, however, and the transition from junior NCO (Sgt) to Senior NCO (SSgt) is probably a important advancement in any Marines career. From my own personal experience the advancement from Petty Officer First Class to Chief Petty Officer had to be one of the best days in my military career. Thanks for your contributions to the article "Chief Petty Officer"; I only hope I didn't screw anything up to much with my edit. I notice that many articles of a naval theme tend to leave out the Coast Guard perspective and I was only trying to show that there are other Chiefs out there besides Navy Chiefs. sign me a former Army Sergeant (and Specialist 5), Vietnam combat veteran and Retired Coast Guard Chief Petty Officer, (as well as PM of my Masonic Blue Lodge, Brother) Cuprum17 (talk) 22:55, 19 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

Good to hear from you, Marine. Regarding your edit of the article Chief Petty Officer...Bravo Zulu!(another naval term) I had almost forgotten about the discussion on deckplate leadership, but it looks as though you have the subject covered beautifully. Being retired now I don't get much facetime with the military life except for the occaisonal funeral detail for a Coast Guardsman that requests a military burial. Most burial details are handled by the Air Force or Army in the area I live in but if a Coast Guardsman's family requests a Coast Guard presence, I volunteer to present the flag to the family. It is an honor I have performed twice now. I need to keep my weight down as the Service Dress Bravo uniform is getting a tad snug in a few places. I would hate to have to purchase a new one to fit, but I would, just to keep up my responsibilities.

I hate talk page trickboxes. I always fall for them.

I removed rationalwiki basically because of this; it was decided a while ago that the list of wikis was to be restricted to only those wikis of note. That is to say, only internal, blue links. It's basically a combination of WP:NOT#LINKFARM and WP:SPAM (that is, so people would not use the page to advertise non-notable web pages). I have no problem with RationalWiki being added to the page, provided a permanent, blue, internal link can be used, which requires someone creating a page that would survive a deletion discussion. I believe the page was created before, but deleted or redirected, so I removed it from the list (and the link I removed was external).

I also don't really think links to internal sections of pages are worth linking to. In this case, it linked to a sub-section of Conservapedia where RW was mentioned in one sentence. That's not really enough for my mind. But if you or anyone else can dig up sources sufficient to clear WP:WEB and create the page, I'd be happy to add it myself. WLU (t) (c) ^{(rules - simple rules)} 01:06, 11 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

I think it should stay as a link for the following reasons:

• The list is a list of online wikis.
• RationalWiki is an online wiki.
• The fact that it does not fall within standards for a bluelink is moot because of the above reasons.

The addition of an external link (in itself) does not fall within WP:SPAM, if it is solely a link to the site. It does not promote the sale or advertisement of anything. If this were Encyclopedia Brittanica and there was a list of wikis, do you think they would not include it because it is not notable enough to hold an article of its own? I think that inclusion is reasonable. Anyway, that's my story and I'm stickin to it! Cheers!--Sallicio^{${\displaystyle \color {Red}\oplus }$}  01:58, 12 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

The decision to include blue, internal links only was made on the talk page, and is applied to all wikis equally. If you review the talk page archive, this is the consensus decision made several times. If you would like rationalwiki to appear on the list, I suggest one of two options. First, create the article after ensuring it is notable (a quick google-troll suggests that this might be difficult, but print sources are allowable). Second, seek consensus on the list of wikis talk page that either the inclusion criteria should be expanded, or that an exception should be made for Rationalwiki. I don't think there is merit to the latter, and the former, while possibly difficult, would be a much better option for wikipedia (and having a soft spot for anti-creationism, if there is any defensible evidence of notability I certainly wouldn't nominate it for deletion). Based on the history of the list of wikis page, if you simply decide to re-add it, I think it would be removed by multiple editors.

As for your reasoning above, the lead of list of wikis does state "notable", which here means notable. You are welcome to try to change consensus, but it might be worth scanning the talk page archive to see why people think the list should be constrained.

Well, to be honest, I think you should wait a while longer until you acquire some more experience. This is not to say in any way that you are doing anything wrong (on the contrary, you are definitely headed firmly in the right direction), its just that, for better or worse, the informal 'RfA standards' seem to have risen to a fairly high level and I personally don't think you have enough experience as yet. One thing you can do is to avoid 'per above' type votes in AfDs and off-topic commenting in discussions. When you vote in an AfD, try to take the time to reason out why the article should be kept or deleted (maybe by voicing your opinion in an AfD that has few comments so far).

Another possible pitfall is your (apparent) association with Conservapedia and/or RationalWiki (I was not aware of the latter until just now). While this may or may not be an issue, both are, shall we say, extremely biased and I can pretty much guarantee you that actively contributing to either is not going to help you very much. (The former is fairly well-known here; I don't think the latter is as much, but this page is... disturbing to your RfA prospects if you are an active contributor there.) Also, I'm not trying in any way to tell you how to spend your time online as your opinions are just as valid as the rest of us, I'm just giving my honest opinion of how your off-wiki activities may affect a future RfA.

I do have to say you have demonstrated a very, very impressive learning rate here and I think you would possibly be ready by the end of January, though I'd have to look at your contribs again then. I know this probably isn't the answer you were looking for, but I really don't want you to go through an RfA and have it fail, especially because I'm fairly certain you would get enough supports to make it 'worth it' to go the full week. I can tell you from experience that going through a week of that and then falling short in the end is very discouraging. As hard as it will be, I think it would be in your best interest to wait a month or two and get some more experience before you undergo an RfA. New page patrolling and csd tagging is a good way to familiarize yourself with the criteria that must be met for an article to be included in Wikipedia (I assume based on your comment that that is your area of interest). If you do start new page (NP) patrolling in earnest, I would highly recommend you install Twinkle in your monobook.js file as it an extremely useful tool and makes NP patrolling much, much easier. (we're talking by lightyears here, though I do have to warn you it will not work in Internet Explorer if you use that browser) Another useful NP patrol script that I use occasionally is a slightly modified version of User:TheJosh's New Page Patroller (this works extremely well in tandem with Twinkle). Again, I want to strongly emphasize that you are doing a great job so far with your editing. Thingg^⊕⊗ 01:44, 25 December 2008 (UTC)Reply

Hi Sallicio. As far as I could tell, this article did not meet either G1 or A7 criteria for speedy deletion, so I have declined the speedy you requested. Please let me know if you have any questions, or if there is something you believe I have not taken into account. Thanks, Paul Erik ^{(talk)(contribs)} 06:23, 27 December 2008 (UTC)Reply

Hello! Thanks for the response! I know it doesn't fit the criteria for {{db-g1}}. However, it does fit {{db-music}} because of the following:

1. We know it is about music.
2. I can read nothing that asserts notability.
   

Therefore: {{db-music}} applies. Case law is here at 08:36.
If I wrote the following as a newpage would it or would it not apply for g1 criteria?

• Dzeimc e hubav momche. Toi zshivya vuf gradut na blagoev.
  

or this:

• Vazshnah va krazshivniut krazhvoivna. Tya na goivnia varzshna.
  

Which one is gibberish? It takes massive amounts of administrative manhours to sift through the madness that flows into the newpages. There are much better things that administrators could be doing than to wait days for these asinine pages to flow through the bureacracy of the {{notenglish}} backlog. Unless the editor is bonafide retarded there is no reason for someone to come to this ENGLISH wiki and write articles in Japanese, Chinese, Farsi, Afrikaans, Serbo-croation, Mongoloian, or Klingon. It is a waste of admin resources (which there are precious little of). I spend 70% of my time sifting through the crap to sort it out for the admins to delete so the rest of humanity doesn't have to see the nonesense. Once I become an administrator, my first order of business is to propose a change of policy to speedy the hell out of the foreign-language articles. There are more ways than one to skin a cat. The article, by definition, should be speedied based on {{db-music}}. That's mah story and I'm stickin' to it!

No, this one does not meet criteria for CSD A7, because it is not about a person or a band—the article Paula Tsui is, but there is assertion of importance there.

Hello! First of all, let me say that we REALLY do appreciate your contributions! You just have to understand a few of our guidelines for articles to stay here:

1. The article has to be noteworthy. Meaning it has to have reliable, third-party (not MySpace, YouTube, blogs, etc) references. An example of a good reference would be something from CNN.com, Telemundo.com, or a local newspaper such as the New York Times.
2. The article must be well-written and avoid point-of-view wording.
3. The article must be easy to follow and understand.

I'll make a deal with you. If you can find me good references, place them in the article and I will rewrite it for you. From there, you can use it as a model for other articles. However, I would suggest that you try simple copyediting and wikification before attempting creation of another new article. If you need anything else, feel free to ask!

2. When uploading images that you, yourself have not created they must comply with Wikipedia's policy on uploading images.

The page had been sitting there for a while? A couple of hours at most. I had actually gone to eat having, I thought, put enough on to justify the page remaining until I got back! Can't help feeling you were being a little over zealous! The page was intended to form part of the subpages to List of civil parishes in England following a change in legislation allowing civil parishes to be formed in Greater London. There are none yet, as would be made clear once the page was completed, but they can be added as the situation changes over the ensuing months and years. It could be argued that the page should be left until a civil parish has been established.

And by the way, as a general rule of thumb I try to put a little more effort in to most of what I do. Instead of simply tagging new articles, I clean them, wikify, and reference them as can be seen here, here, and here to name three of over 730 new articles patrolled.

Wilkommen!, Jumblia! It takes a bit of time to understand the dynamics of the wiki-world, but it's a fun endeavor! Believe it or not, of the "regular" editors, I'm sort of just an above-average wikipedian. My highest monthly edit count is just under 900 edits. Some folks come in here and do 2 and 3 THOUSAND edits per month! But I think that they are mostly cheating by using bots to do some of their dirty work! A good way to understand the HTML is to work on your userpage. Just start with some basic stuff (e.g., self-intro, userboxes, etc) and then work on more complicated stuff. It's a good way to experiment without mucking up an actual article! If you need help, I'm usually on here at least once or twice a day, generally from about 1800- whenever (EST). Just ask or contact me via my email. Good luck and happy editing!--It's me...Sallicio!^{${\displaystyle \color {Red}\oplus }$}  02:35, 9 February 2009 (UTC)Reply

Prince George's County edits: That was a legitimate edit. Mentioning the majority race in the first paragraph of a county is out of place. Also, "wealthiest" majority black county is not only subjective, but useless information. But hey I guess I can't edit things because you will just be there to revert it back.

You recently removed the {{Article issues}} tag I put on Michelle G. Craske and your comment just said "rm tags". Can you tell me why you did it? For instance:

• {{refimprove}} says that the article needs "additional references or sources for verification"—currently, there are only two references, neither of which are third-party reliable sources.
• {{orphan}} says that article "is an orphan, as very few or no other articles link to it." The WikiProject Orphanage Criteria say that the magic number is three. There are currently two articles that link to Michelle G. Craske.
• {{wikify}} says the article "may need to be wikified to meet Wikipedia's quality standards." As an example, I think that many (most?) of her research and current studies areas could be linked.
• and so on...

In short: I put some thought into which issue tags I added, I think deleting them without discussion was inappropriate, and I'm adding them back in again. If there's a reason you still think that they're all incorrect, please let me know. Dori (Talk • Contribs) 02:34, 15 March 2009 (UTC)Reply

Hello! Sorry about that, I was going through my watchlist and "unwatching" a lot of the articles that were clogging it up. I thought that article was one that I patrolled through in the newpages and that I placed the tags on it. I glanced through the article and it looked like it met (through a hyper-fast cursory glance) all the tags' criteria.

First, thank you for taking the time to participate in my RfA. I apologize for not answering you question as I had already indicated to Nick that I am withdrawing my RfA, so I did not visit the RfA page and so missed your post altogether. I am glad you asked this question and yes I do make massive contribution in a single edit, not all the time but most of the time. See these three examples from my history of last couple of months on these missile pages here, here and here. That is only some recent samples that I could remember, but I am sure many example like the above can be found in my history of over 2 years. That is one of the biggest reasons why my edit count is low. I could have easily made the above mentioned three edits into 10 edits each and that would have resulted in 30 edits on in my history then just 3. But this is the way I work/contribute so I will stick to it.

Also, a lot of people criticized me for having a low edit count my for 2 years at my RfA, but none wondered or thought of asking me perhaps I made considerable contribution in a single edit. So, thank you for asking and you do stand out on fairness count.

I withdrew as I got the feeling my help was not wanted here at wikepedia. It is like you go to your local church and volentere to help out, but instead of thanks, you get bombarded with questions regarding your real intentions/motivations for offering free help. You will probably decide that hey! I offered my free time to help you out and if you do not need my help then I can think of many ways to spend my free time. {Raza0007 | Talk} 13:11, 30 April 2009 (UTC)Reply

Hello! Yes, an RfA is definitely like having people throw rocks at you and in response you are expected to say, "Thank you for pelting rocks at my head!" A lot of folks forget that being an administrator is not a big deal. But I would suggest that you run again. WP would most definitely benefit. Keep doing what you're doing, just split up the edits. A good way to be productive (and rack up edits) is to spend time in the New Pages. I would also suggest downloading Friendly if you haven't already.

We originally considered TGI Friday's in Foggy Bottom as the meetup location, however I stopped by TGI Friday's this evening to make reservations. I was less than impressed. They apparently don't take reservations, except perhaps if you call 24 hours ahead of time. The staff was not so helpful, and the menu has hardly anything vegetarian which is an issue for some people.

So, I checked out the Bertucci's pizza/Italian place across the street (21st & I St NW). Their staff couldn't have been more helpful, think it will be fairly quiet so we will be able to hear each other, and is a very suitable place for us. So, reservations are made for Bertucci's at 5pm on Saturday. I hope you can make it to the meetup. --Aude (talk) 02:52, 2 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

Hello,

I am giving you this as a courtesy copy because you were among those who supported the deletion of this article. It is the text I sent to the Admin who deleted the article.

Cheers

Hello,

I was very interested in the fact that this article was deleted, well astounded might be the correct word. I read with interest the deletion log and I understand that the article has very little chance of passing. However I must assert that this does not mean that it is below the threshold of notability. I did a little research to see exactly how notable this bill is.

I went to http://stats.grok.se/ to look up how often this article was viewed:

Even after it was deleted, in June, the deletion page was viewed 92 times.

To be fair, however, I ran view statistics for 10 random articles to see if the Blair Holt article received more views. Of the 10 I looked up, only two got more hits. This is hardly enough for a true statistical comparison, but it would indicate that the article was getting more hits than the majority of Wikipedia articles. This seems to indicate notability.

Next I went to Google to see how many Web hits I would get if I looked it up. For Blair Holt bill, I get 1,120,000 hits. I went to Google News and discovered there have been thousands of news stories on the bill as well.

As a final note, I was at the Utah State Republican convention where it was brought up and discussed by Rep. Jason Chaffetz, which indicates that despite the fact that there is only one sponsor, the bill is receiving considerable buzz in congress.

The bill is notable for another reason. It delegates powers reserved for the congress in the Constitution (the right to make laws) to one person, namely the Attorney General.

Given all this, I can only conclude that the article, and the bill are indeed notable enough to merit inclusion in Wikipedia.

Thanks for your consideration,

The first ever WikiProject National Archives newsletter has been published. Please read on to find out what we're up to and how to help out! There are many opportunities for getting more involved. Dominic·t 21:39, 20 July 2011 (UTC)Reply

The WikiProject National Archives Newsletter July 2011 News Featured article contest This week, our first multilingual featured article contest was announced. We are aiming to improve the articles on the Declaration of Independence, Constitution, or Bill of Rights to featured or good status in English and other languages. Prizes for winners will be a gift package from the National Archives including a book of your choice or a tote bag, and other swag, plus, of course, a special barnstar. August 6 backstage pass Plans are in the works for a meetup and backstage pass event at the National Archives II facility in College Park, MD. There will be a regular social meetup, a discussion with Dominic about WP:NARA, a tour of the building by NARA staff, and then time for a scanathon and editathon in the research rooms and library until the building closes at 5 pm. Keep your schedules open!   From our recent uploads: ...see more. Special requests: This section includes special requests from the NARA staff: Archival Recovery Team The National Archives' Archival Recovery Team (ART) is a team of law enforcement agents and archivists who investigate NARA's lost and stolen documents. They have received media attention ([2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9]) and would like to request an article be written for the team, if Wikipedians deem it notable. It is hoped that making more information about the group available on Wikipedia will increase public awareness of the documents they are seeking to recover. Ongoing Today's Document challenge The Today's Document challenge is an opportunity for Wikipedians to get their work related to National Archives holdings spotlighted on Archives.gov and the National Archives' tumblr. Each day the National Archives selects a document related to the day's date to showcase. The goal is to get articles related to the selected documents on the main page in ""Did You Know...?" the same day that the National Archives features the document. Alternatively, other appropriate articles related to National Archives holdings not already selected will be used for new documents of the day by NARA staff and posted to their tumblr. Wikisource WP:NARA has a sister WikiProject on Wikisource, WS:NARA. On Wikisource, editors transcribe, proofread, and arrange documents. This helps to make little-known documents more discoverable, or well-known documents more searchable, and improves accessibility. See the files being worked on. If you are new to Wikisource and would like to participate, there are experienced Wikisourcerors willing to be mentors. New contributions A list of some recent contributions to the project: Wikipedia District of Columbia Compensated Emancipation Act (Fetchcomms) Court of the Patriarchs (CutOffTies) Opposition to the overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom (Fetchcomms) Wikisource1 Memorial of Queen Liliuokalani in relation to the Crown lands of Hawaii Petition from women of Brookline Resolutions of the Joint Committee on the Washington Monument H. R. 4982 A Petition For Universal Suffrage Susan B. Anthony petition for remission of fine Alexander Hamilton's commission to take rank as Colonel 1Credit goes to Prosody, Theornamentalist, Inductiveload, Digipoke, George Orwell III, Kathleen.wright5, BirgitteSB, and Zhaladshar Tools Archives.gov grabber (Slakr) Future plans Major image contribution The National Archives has hundreds of thousands of digitized documents in its holdings. We are working on a bulk upload to Commons of one particular cache of about 123,000 TIFF master files in the next few days! Once uploaded, these will require a massive community effort to help categorize the files on Commons and add them to articles on Wikipedia or transcribe them on Wikisource. Inclusion in the online catalog We are currently working on a system for including links to pages on Wikimedia projects in the National Archives online catalog. The Wikimedia projects are hosting an increasing number of transcriptions of National Archives documents and high-quality image and video files that are not available through NARA's own site. Links to these Wikimedia pages in the documents' actual catalog records will benefit the end user by providing them access to further resources about the documents, and they will also demonstrate the National Archives commitment to supporting Wikimedians' efforts. To stop receiving this newsletter, please remove your name from the list.

It was recently suggested that WikiProject Maryland might be inactive or semiactive and it might be beneficial to include it in the list of projects supported by WikiProject United States. I have started a discussion on the projects talk page soliciting the opinions of the members of the project if this project would be interested in being supported by WikiProject United States. Please feel free to comment on your opinions about this suggestion. --Kumioko (talk) 03:01, 17 August 2011 (UTC)Reply

A tag has been placed on File:Cutter Legare.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image page for a missing or corrupt image or an empty image description page for a Commons-hosted image.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Backstage at the Smithsonian Libraries is part of Wikipedia Loves Libraries 2012, the second annual continent-wide campaign to bring Wikipedia and libraries together with on-site events. Running this fall through October and November, libraries (and archives) will open their doors to help build a lasting relationship with their local Wikipedian community.

Organized by Wikimedia DC, this event will take place on October 12, 2012, and will include new editor training, a "backstage pass" tour of the National Museum of Natural History, and an edit-a-thon. Everyone is welcome to attend!
