Nazi Party articleAfter your great ce (and cite) work on both the Adolf Hitler and LSSAH articles, I have another to suggest; the Nazi Party article. Just know Diannaa that if you should choose to accept this latest mission, this thread wont self destruct in five minutes. Cheers, Kierzek (talk) 01:33, 4 November 2011 (UTC)
ColoursThere is a proposal at Template talk:Designation about improving the appearance and accessibility of the infobox by using coloured borders rather than coloured backgrounds/text. Please comment in the discussion if you have an opinion. --Dianna (talk) 17:48, 6 November 2011 (UTC) "User:Trident13/Wales5+"I had assumed the information on that page had either been complied from Misplaced Pages or was simply WP:OR. It looked like it might have been an article in preparation. Is it permissable to simply delete an entire user talkpage before they have been warned and/or asked to explain? Many thanks.

GOCE reviewingHello. I saw that you are chairing this month's backlog elimination drive reviewing group for the GOCE. AS you may have noticed, I signed up to be one of the reviewers, but I have a question. If a participant, for example, has 8000 words, do I give them both the modest and the working man's barnstar, or just the working man's barnstar? Thank you and happy copy editing! pluma Ø 20:44, 6 November 2011 (UTC)
Technocracy Incorporated article among others connected with that subjectNo response from you on this issue. A small clique of editors are trying to eliminate an historic organizations entry from Misplaced Pages information that is still operating http://en.wikipedia.org/Talk:Technocracy_Incorporated#Propose_merge_to_Technocracy_movement Johnphos has tried for years to eliminate it... attempt after attempt. There are years worth of edits by Johnphos and his altering in a negative way... non neutral and defaming way, the information. Scroll down and read about Technocracy Incorporated on this U.S.dot gov. website in the history of the 30's area http://www.ssa.gov/history/briefhistory3.html No new editors that are neutral are permitted to edit the article because of this group below http://en.wikipedia.org/User_talk:Lawrencekhoo http://en.wikipedia.org/User:Johnfos http://en.wikipedia.org/User_talk:Beagel http://en.wikipedia.org/User_talk:Epipelagic They think or say everyone is a sock. Those editors edit economics and energy articles primarily and seems to be at issue with ideas related to Technocracy ideas as in wanting to remove them from en. Misplaced Pages. Is there a way to bring this to the attention of a bunch of Admin's to prevent this group from getting rid of the article? This was the fastest growing social movement in the U.S. and Canada for a time, and its still around now. Is Misplaced Pages going to allow it to just be done away with by people that do not like the concept... accuse the article of being commercial or say that it is not important enough for its own article? 175.100.40.61 (talk) 02:06, 8 November 2011 (UTC)
A tool for you!Hi Diannaa! I see that you are an copyeditor, and thought that you might appreciate some help with finding and eliminating multiple links (or wikification) from the article on which you are working. I case you're not aware, all you need to do is install the following script: importScript('User:Ucucha/duplinks.js');
onto Special:MyPage/skin.js, and you'll find a clickable link called "Highlight duplicate links" in your toolbox section of the page (probably in the left hand column). It can be found both in normal view mode and edit mode. Press on it, and away you go! Have fun! --Sp33dyphil © • © 09:26, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

Hyphens in compound modifiersPlease note WP:HYPHEN, sub-subsection 3, point 4: "A hyphen is not used after a standard -ly adverb (a newly available home, a wholly owned subsidiary) unless part of a larger compound (a slowly-but-surely strategy)."

Flatlists & NavboxesI see that you've been converting a number of navboxes to use {{flatlist}}. There's now a slightly better way to do it. You can now use the
SME needed for editing "History of Socialist Left Party (Norway)"Diannaa: FYI, for the November backlog effort, I took a shot today at editing the above-named entry. I came up with what I hope is a strong opening -- but I am not nearly subject matter expert (SME) enough to judge what of the material in the majority of the article is accurate to merit re-write and editing. This article needs a SME. I speak with some experience, having written a number of entries for Misplaced Pages, one of which actually received a accolade. Also, I am expert enough as professional writer and editor to know when a SME is needed. Aboudaqn (talk) 21:09, 12 November 2011 (UTC)
Trouble in paradiseHi, Diannaa...I wonder if you can help with a problem I'm having with the prose-size script: importScript('User:Dr_pda/prosesize.js'); //User:Dr_pda/prosesize.js
I used to be able to get a word count for article sections by clicking on "Page size" in edit-preview mode, but now that doesn't work (it still works, though, for whole articles). At first I thought the culprit was a duplicate-links tool I recently installed, but that doesn't seem to be the case; I removed that script, plus traffic-history and minor-edit-default scripts and bypassed the cache but still no joy. I accessed my Javascript error console pretty much by accident (i.e. clicking on a link whose location I've forgotten), and there are many entries for the prose-size script. This happens in both Firefox and Chrome, so I don't think it's a browser thing. While I can work around it by copy/pasting into Word, I sure miss the convenience. Does it still work on sections for you, and have you heard of a similar problem from anyone else? Thanks for your help. All the best,--Miniapolis (talk) 15:56, 13 November 2011 (UTC)

CatchupHi Sorry I haven't been around: windows, flu, windows, battlefield 3, chest infection, flu, will it ever end lol! I did put aside a whole week for Battlefield 3 when it came out, unfortunately I feel like I am a little too old for those games now lol; my reactions aren't what they used to be! Anyway, I got some flu bug again but seem to be over the worst so am trying to get back up-to-date (including signing up for the drive) and will try and attack some of the requests backlog over the next three or four days until I go back to work next week. Hope you are well, any exciting stuff happened recently? Chaosdruid (talk) 07:01, 15 November 2011 (UTC)

Abby NewmanHello, It seems you made the last change to page: Abby Newman. Please, can you get rid of the redirection and move the page Abby Carlton to Abby Newman. It is her rightful, legal name and she has been using it for two years now, making it also the name best recognized for her. Thank You! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Allukka (talk • contribs) 19:48, 16 November 2011 (UTC)

Hemingway templateSorry for snapping at you yesterday; I'd had a bad day and it spilled over. I wanted to thank you for linking to the tool. I'll play around with colors to find one that's compliant; if I can't, it can stay baby blue. Truthkeeper (talk) 13:52, 19 November 2011 (UTC)
