I am looking to find someone willing to lock the Elizabeth Halverson page from anon edits. I've tried to eliminate the clear bias from some of the article where it concerns Halverson’s Disciplinary Issues, but ThreeOneFive both logged in and using an IP seem to think that it's important to have all sorts of trash / dirt / innuendo as well. I think my last edit here: http:https://www.search.com.vn/wiki/index.php?lang=en&q=Elizabeth_Halverson&oldid=213789446 is perfectly adequate within the scope of a Wikipedia bio, and that this version http:https://www.search.com.vn/wiki/index.php?lang=en&q=Elizabeth_Halverson&oldid=213786635 is clearly gratuitous, unnecessary, and just someone’s vendetta. It’s tabloid trash not fitting for Wikipedia. Not only that, it’s just bad writing that rambles on. I might ad, it also opens Wikipedia to the kind of liability we have seen with other notable people who have been dragged through the mud in the pages of Wikipedia.

Hello again. I was just busy copy-editing, wikifying, and assessing Red Sox related articles. I was wondering if there was a wikiproject similar to the above title that exists. Is there?--RyRy5 (talk ♠ wikify) 00:38, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
Howdy, just noticed you beat me (by a fraction of a second!) to undoing an edit to Hunting by an IP. The article indicates that it's indefinitely semi-protected, so I'm left scratching my head... Has the protection perhaps lapsed? (Or do I misunderstand semi-protection?) Thanks! Fogster (talk) 00:36, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Tahla, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Tahla provides no meaningful content or history, and the text is unsalvageably incoherent.
To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Tahla, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Welcome to the latest issue of the College football WikiProject newsletter! I hope that you're enjoying regular updates about the goings on of college football on Wikipedia, but if not, feel free to add your name to the "no delivery" section on the newsletter signup page. I encourage everyone to make regular visits to the College Football Portal and perhaps make it your Wikipedia entry page instead of using the Main Page as your gateway. Nominations for selected articles and pictures are always welcome, and can serve as a great way to show off that new article you just shepherded to Good Article status or the great picture you took the last time you were at a game. Comments and suggestions on improving the newsletter are always welcome, and help me improve it on a monthly basis. Keep contributing and editing, and don't hesitate to contact me or post on the College Football Wikiproject talk page if you need help or just want someone to look over your article. | |

OK. Thanks. Its not big deal if you can't link the colleges though, as long as the other ones can be done. Furthermore, would you mind creating a simple find and replace script so over here it will replace (for example) "BOS" with [[Boston Red Sox]]?

I thought you might like to know that the Awards Center page has been deleted, along with its newsletter. :(
So, where do we go from here?
To new and even more interesting projects, of course!
As announced in the newsletter, I've been preparing to co-coordinate a large collaboration/competition called Around the World. It was going to be run at the Awards Center, but since that no longer exists, the collaboration will be hosted somewhere else.
Around the World will begin July 15th as planned - it's location will be announced soon.
It'll be a blast. In the competition, participants will be helping to develop over 200 pages (drafts, which will be moved to article space once they are ready), using advanced tools to edit every single one of them!
This is going to be interesting.
And the event shall have awards which are being created specifically for it as we speak!
If you would like me to keep you informed of this and other interesting collaborations I'll be working on and/or organizing in the future, please drop me a note on my talk page, and I'll be happy to keep you in the know.
I look forward to your reply.
Sincerely,

It's a collaboration!
A collaboration using advanced wiki-tools!
If everything goes according to plan, it will begin on July 15th.
The event is being co-sponsored by Wikiproject Lists of basic topics and WikiProject Geography, and participants will be "traveling" all around "the World" visiting each country online (here on Wikipedia and perhaps beyond) as they apply advanced wiki-tools to improve pieces of the profiles of each and every country on Earth!. Each pass through these pages is a "trip around the World..."
The set of pages we are working on is currently located at Wikipedia:WikiProject Lists of basic topics.
Each page presents essential information on each country in a topic outline format, for ease of overviewing and navigating. Most of the topics presented are linkified, which turns these pages into a hypertextual map to material about each country on Wikipedia. When completed, they shall all become part of Wikipedia's contents system.
The pages share a standard format, with the information on each country presented in the same general order. So rather than getting stuck on a single country trying to complete it, each participant works on all 200+ political entities, completing a single data item or detail across all of the pages!
For this they use advanced tools like WP:AWB, Linky, etc. It goes fast, and since others are doing this at the same time, it makes "the World" feel like a beehive, and the participants are its bees. :) The energy is contagious.
And since you are moving from country to country, the tasks make it feel like you are traveling around the world, and you get to learn a little about every country as you do so. This approach also allows for greater efficiency, because by the time you've done 30 or so of a particular item, you've figured out how to finish it faster and more effectively (such as where to find the data or how to make adjustments), and this specialization speeds up development - but more importantly it reduces errors.
The tasks are varied, which adds even more variety to the project. Some tasks are look-ups-and-fill-ins, some are copy and paste, some are image hunts, some are maintenance adjustments, some are link fixing, some are blue-linking (creating an underlying redirect so a link turns blue), some are fact checking, etc.
For an example of what a nearly complete page looks like, see these:
There are only about 200 more pages to go!
During the collaboration, co-coordinators will be standing by, to lend a helping hand to participants, provide instruction and tips on how to use the tools, and help them find what they are looking for. Co-coordinators will also be using advanced tools to inspect the work of participants, and touch it up as needed, or if a task was done wrong throughout, point this out to the participant so he or she can make the necessary corrections.
Co-coordinators are working on the set of pages right now, to familiarize themselves with "the World" so they can help more effectively by the time the main event starts. But there's still lots of preparation left to be done, and we are looking for editors experienced in advanced wikitools who would like to become co-coordinators.

Thanks for your note of appreciation after my retirement. Not sure if you noticed or not, but I am now unretired, although I may not be as active as I was, I have to help my adoptees along, and just continue to work on the other things I started. Hope everything is going well on Wikipedia for you... - Diligent Terrier (and friends) 18:10, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
As you may know, the StatusBot responsible for maintaining the status of the Highly Active Users was taken offline. We now have a replacement in the Qui status system. This semi-automatic system will allow you to easily update your status page found at Special:Mypage/Status which the HAU page code is now designed to read from. If you are already using Qui (or a compatible system) - great! - no action is needed (other than remembering to update your status as necessary). If not, consider installing Qui. You can also manually update this status by changing the page text to online, offline, or busy. While it is not mandatory, the nature of HAU is that people are often seeking a quick answer from someone who is online and keeping our statuses up-to-date will assist with this. Note if you were previously using your /Status page as something other than a one-word status indicator, your HAU entry may have been set to "status=n" to correct display issues. Please clear this parameter if you change things to be "HAU compatible". Further questions can be raised at WT:HAU. This message was delivered by xenobot 22:55, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

Hey, just wanted to let you know I started a rough draft for the newsletter, you can find it here. Feel free to add anything to it, or leave me a note about anything. Hopefully we can get a pretty good system going after the first few newsletters. I think we'll need to start an "outreach" department within the project, so if you have any ideas for that, that would be cool too. Thanks! Blackngold29 02:57, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
I might as well contact you directly, since the response to the outreach dept. idea has been... well, there hasn't been any. I started a simple outline in my sandbox, if there are any ideas that you have, maybe from other WPs, feel free to add them. I would like to put it up to coincide with the newsletter release, though with departments like this it would be preferable to have some backing from the Project, but since there's no opposition either, hopefully it will catch on and attract some people to the cause.
Oh, and you'll probably notice the "From the editors" message that I wrote for the newsletter. I just got back from the Pirates / Yanks game and was bored, so that was the result. Even though you'll never get me to root for the Yanks or think their stadium is the best in a thousand years. Hopefully we can get someone to write a little column for each newsletter, perhaps the more personal approach will also help to boost project involvement. Blackngold29 05:22, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
