Hi Middayexpress. I'd normally put a note on a talk page, but I wasn't sure which one was most appropriate. I put hatnotes on the articles for Mohammed Noor and Mohamed Noor. I saw your corrections and I just wonder if 'computer scientist' is the best disambiguator for Mohamud Noor. While that was his profession for a few years, he is now executive director of a non-profit community center. I decided to opt for 'politician' only because that is probably what he is best known for. I worry that a reader who was looking for Mohamud Noor that finds themselves on one of the other articles would be unlikely to identify him as a 'computer scientist'. Maybe we could make this moot by creating a disambiguation page for Moham(m)e/ud Noors? gobonobo + c 18:54, 13 August 2014 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hi there, Gonobo. A couple of years ago you filled in some citations for the article on imidacloprid including a citation supporting a claim that the poison is effective in killing fleas both via contact and when ingested (here). You didn't make the original claim, but you found what looked to be a reference to support it. I've been looking into this, and it looks like we have a problem (unless I am mistaken about something): the citation you found only supports the claim (not being made in the article) that the poison, when consumed, has toxic effects on non-target animals like rats and mice. The primary route to killing fleas, its actual target, is via contact and specifically NOT via ingestion (according to Mehlhorn H, Mencke N, Hansen O. Effects of imidacloprid on adult and larval stages of the flea Ctenocephalides felis after in vivo and in vitro application: a light- and electron-microscopy study. Parasitol Res, 1999, 85:625-637, as available in summary in another article here). I am contacting you to ask if I am misunderstanding something, or if you were just inattentive in your choice of citations supporting a claim... Because it looks to me like the claim is incorrect, wherever it may have come from, and needs to be replaced with the correct information and a correct reference, which I am prepared to do, but not without consulting you first. Can you help me out here? Thanks! KDS4444Talk 07:40, 24 August 2014 (UTC)

The final of the 2014 WikiCup begins in a few short minutes! Our eight finalists are listed below, along with their placement in Round 4:
We say goodbye to this year's semi-finalists. Matty.007 (submissions),
ThaddeusB (submissions),
WikiRedactor (submissions),
Figureskatingfan (submissions),
Yellow Evan (submissions),
Prism (submissions) and
Cloudz679 (submissions) have all performed well to reach this stage of the competition, and we hope they will all be joining us again next year.
There are two upcoming competitions unrelated to the WikiCup which may be of interest to those who receive this newsletter. The Stub Contest will run through September, and revolves around expanding stub articles, especially high-importance or old stubs. In addition, a proposal has been made for a new competition, the GA Cup, which the organisers plan to run next year. This competition is based on the WikiCup and aims to reduce the good article review backlog.
There is now a thread for brainstorming on how next year's WikiCup competition should work. Please come along and share your thoughts- What works? What doesn't work? What needs changing? Signups for next year's competition will be open soon; we will be in touch. If, at this stage of the competition, you are keen to help the with the WikiCup, please do what you can to participate in review processes. Our finalists will find things much easier if the backlogs at good article candidates, featured article candidates, featured picture candidates and the rest are kept at a minimum. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

But I thought you reverted my comments here: https://www.search.com.vn/wiki/en/User_talk:175.143.232.3#September_2014, where am I supposed to document that that IP is repeatedly vandalizing a page?

Have a look at this new navbox I just finished, and tell me what you think. Feel free to add or remove anything to improve on it. Thanks again for your kindness in talking me back into the project; I forgot how much I liked doing these. I've got to do something for this generic little thing soon... Also, if you see a woman writer with enough articles on her works to require a navbox, let me know. Me, Sadads, and TonyTheTiger have done so many, it's hard to find writers in need of them. Tony was doing navboxes on individual works a while back, so I'll have to see about finding the ones on works by women and project tagging those. INeverCry 07:38, 17 September 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for your kind words. Actually, I consider my draft article quite a long way from being ready to go live in mainspace. Stanwood is best known as an ornithologist but that section of the article currently consists of only a few notes to myself. I'm working on the structure and wording of the section off-line in a text editor. I find it difficult to remain neutral and encyclopedic. Each time I revisit my off-line notes and draft, I cut much of what I wrote as being too much detail. Next is her photography. Again, my problem is what's appropriate and how much detail. Most references are full of quips about how she enlisted boys to carry the heavy equipment and plates into the swamps and about her always wearing long skirts with waders as footwear underneath. There's also the loss and then rediscovery of the original photographic plates; how much of that story belongs in the encyclopedia? Conservation activism and an intro/explanation of her writing for popular periodicals needs to be added, too.
For me, writing Wikipedia is a foul weather activity. Most of my days are now spent outdoors in my gardens, bird trails and with grandkids. I'll get back to my writing about dead (and living) ornithologists once the garden is put to bed for the winter. Most of the birds have already started their southern migration and the last of the residents are ending their breeding season. Grandkids are back in school, no longer hanging out with grandpa. Even though I haven't made a live edit to the draft since early spring, I haven't forgotten or abandoned Stanwood. I'll be back at it when winter and shorter days drive me inside. I would like to see the Stanwood article featured on the main page so I don't want to move it to mainspace until it's essentially complete and suitable for DYK.
If you'd like to help flesh out the article, jump right in. I doubt that edit conflicts will happen and I don't believe in ownership, even of a userspace draft. The Richardson thesis at [2] is a thorough bio but written from a feminist POV. It's a great source for adding more. I purchased all the dead-tree books used as references from used bookstores (and will sell them once the article is live). Some of the on-line sources are contradictory (grumble) so I chose the older print sources as most reliable. The Richardson thesis is consistent and well sourced so I've depended on it as the most reliable.

I'm writing to let you know that the logo which had been placed on Thefederalist.com apparently belongs to a different web site. See http://web.archive.org/web/19981111191626/http://www.federalist.com/ -- Federalist.com was using that in 1998, whereas Thefederalist.com did not begin until 2013 (and uses a different logo -- see http://thefederalist.com/). Hence, it may no longer even be appropriate to keep File:Thefederalist.gif in Wikipedia as it would no longer be used in an article and thus no longer be subject to fair use criteria. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 16:10, 2 October 2014 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on File:Belva Plain.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a non-free file with a clearly invalid licensing tag; or it otherwise fails some part of the non-free content criteria. If you can find a valid tag that expresses why the file can be used under the fair use guidelines, please replace the current tag with that tag. If no such tag exists, please add the {{Non-free fair use}} tag, along with a brief explanation of why this constitutes fair use of the file. If the file has been deleted, you can re-upload it, but please ensure you place the correct tag on it.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, 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 from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

The article Globophobia has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Srleffler (talk) 22:19, 18 October 2014 (UTC)
