WP vs WS

Hi, you may be interested to read the last comment here: Talk:Squat_lobster#WikiProject_Food_and_drink_Tagging, i.e.,

• I have re-reverted Stho002 (talk)'s deletion of content (1st time for me). Links to other Wiki projects and even to other Misplaced Pages pages are not reliable sources, nor are they satisfactory substitutes for properly referenced content... - Nick Thorne talk 03:25, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

This is *completely wrong*! A link to another Wiki project isn't itself a source, but is a link to the source(s), which are on the other project page(s). There is no point repeating them all here. They just don't get it! They can't show me where this contravenes policy, so they just gang up and try to get me with 3rr! They may be biased against WS, but I want WS and WP to work in harmony, and if it isn't against policy, then they can't stop me ... Stho002 (talk) 03:38, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

Credo Reference Update & Survey (your opinion requested)

Credo Reference, who generously donated 400 free Credo 250 research accounts to Misplaced Pages editors over the past two years, has offered to expand the program to include 100 additional reference resources. Credo wants Misplaced Pages editors to select which resources they want most. So, we put together a quick survey to do that:

• Link to Survey (should take between 5-10 minutes): http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/N8FQ6MM

It also asks some basic questions about what you like about the Credo program and what you might want to improve.

At this time only the initial 400 editors have accounts, but even if you do not have an account, you still might want to weigh in on which resources would be most valuable for the community (for example, through WikiProject Resource Exchange).

Also, if you have an account but no longer want to use it, please leave me a note so another editor can take your spot.

If you have any other questions or comments, drop by my talk page or email me at wikiocaasi@yahoo.com. Cheers! Ocaasi 17:27, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

WP:RX

Hey
What do you think about making template for new section and also include some instructions for the posters like include full links and add resolved tag after their request was fulfilled.--Shrike (talk)/WP:RX 07:25, 22 July 2012 (UTC)

I thought similar template to one of the boards like WP:AN/3RR.I have no idea in coding maybe we can ask someone.--Shrike (talk)/WP:RX 07:32, 22 July 2012 (UTC)

That's good too but that not what I meant.I thought about removing "new section" and instead insert link "Add new request" so the subheading could be formatted correctly. the month could be added by bot also it could contains some instructions for the poster like provide doi link or isbn and etc--Shrike (talk)/WP:RX 19:47, 23 July 2012 (UTC)..

So could you implement that?Do you need my help?--Shrike (talk)/WP:RX 06:39, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

Also archiving bot will be good too.For example archive resolved threads right away and not resolved 60d old --Shrike (talk)/WP:RX 09:46, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

I have made same temporary template could you please do a little c/e user:shrike/RX thanks.--Shrike (talk)/WP:RX 07:59, 25 July 2012 (UTC)

Re: Call for Brock University's Campus Ambassador

Hi Andrew. I would love to help out in any way I can; however, I will be away from the Brock campus for a significant chunk of September and October collecting data for my research. I will only be available on-campus in early September, as well as in November and early December. Let me know your thoughts. What is the time commitment for this? I don't have a ton of time (I'm at the data collection/analysis stage of my thesis), but I'm always willing to lend my office space to help out a student looking to better the Wiki...always a fun distraction. Feel free to shoot me an email anytime. – Nurmsook! 04:50, 28 July 2012 (UTC)

I'll be wrapping my studies up in April 2013, so I will be on campus from November 2012 to April 2013 full-time. – Nurmsook! 17:49, 30 July 2012 (UTC)

Swiss International Air Lines

Hi, I have reverted your edit to Swiss International Air Lines. The Bombardier CS100 orders are for Swiss European Air Lines not for Swiss international. Swiss European Air Lines is a separate airline operating under a different ICAO and callsign, The airline also have 2 completely separate fleets although they both have the Avro RJ100. The order is already listed on the separate Swiss European article. As they are separate they shouldn't be listed under the international article. Thanks for your understanding. --JetBlast (talk) 20:12, 28 July 2012 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Featured portal candidates (2)

Since you're listed as a "portal director" on the Misplaced Pages:Featured portal candidates page, you may want to check in there, as several posts are pending. Thank you for your consideration. Northamerica1000 12:10, 30 July 2012 (UTC)

I'd just like to "ping" you about a candidate I listed there about a week ago, that has seen exactly 0 discussion, and inquire as to ways you know of that might be able to engage more users in that discussion. Cheers! Achowat (talk) 16:18, 13 August 2012 (UTC)

@Achowat, FPoC is a slow venue and going a week – or even a month – without comments is sadly not unusual... I intend to review Portal:New England later today if time permits (you may have noticed that I carried out a few minor edits there this morning; the first thing I'll probably ask for is a randomised selection of DYKs rather than a section that requires manual updating, FYI). I don't know whether you've notified the talk pages of WikiProjects that might be interested, but that's always recommended. Whether it makes any difference is another story! Template:PortalReviewVolunteers/List has some names you can ask - when I had a FPoC nomination that was stalling for lack of reviews, Cirt (the other FPo director) said it was fine to approach people on that list for their thoughts, and I think I got some joy that way. I've not updated the list for some months, though, so there may be in/active people there in the wrong section. Bencherlite 16:33, 13 August 2012 (UTC)

Lhasa Gonggar Airport

Hello, OhanaUnited! I noticed you add the inofrmation about new runway of the airport. I do not see any news published introducing the planned or under-construction new runway. I visit the airport last year and also found only one runway existing there.

Perhaps a confusing fact is that an old runway has already been used as taxiway and is no longer for landing or taking off. In 2007, a Sichuan Airlines passenger flight wrongly landed on the taxiway because the pilot mistakely considered the former runway (now taxiway) as the correct runway. AlexHe34 (talk) 02:57, 11 August 2012 (UTC)(My Chinese talk page)

Well I mean the article of zh:拉萨贡嘎机场 in Chinese Misplaced Pages.(you add second rwy) When I attempt to contact you, your user page helps me find you here in English wikipedia. Secondly, I cite the forum only to let you know there might be a confusion in our discussion, not to use it as formal reference in the article, despite that formal news can be found in Renminwang. What I want to say is that second runway does not really exist. That's all. AlexHe34 (talk) 05:00, 11 August 2012 (UTC)

That was the old runway but it became a taxiway when so called "09L/27R" runway's construction was completed. If the taxiway below is for landing and taking off, there should be clear "09R/27L" sign on its two ends. AlexHe34 (talk) 06:31, 11 August 2012 (UTC)

Wiki Ambassador Canadian Education Program Initiative

Hey! I wanted to inquire. Can we have ambassadors in UTSC? We are University of Toronto, Scarborough. Please let me know if we need special permissions or any formalities that need to be passed through before we actually consider having wiki ambassadors. Our school isn't really in the list in the website for the Canada education program so we are just making sure. Thanks! Khyati Gupta (talk) 18:26, 14 August 2012 (UTC)

Yes I am! :D I was just curious about the program and wanted to figure out more about it. I emailed Prof Joordens and asked him if this is something we can do on campus. He told me that he doesnt really know much info on it. So I thought maybe I do some research myself. I am sorry, I was unaware that our campus already had an ambassador! Can I somehow be a part of it too? Khyati Gupta (talk) 18:45, 14 August 2012 (UTC)

Awesome! Ever since I took the course, I am hooked to wikipedia! And I do not want to lose the motivation. So I would like to continue contributing to wikipedia! Please do follow up with me in regards to the initiative. I thank you in advance!Khyati Gupta (talk) 19:05, 14 August 2012 (UTC)

Should I e-mail Prof Joordens? Or is there another way to set this up? Khyati Gupta (talk) 14:41, 9 September 2012 (UTC)

Shrike in the thread agreed to consult with user:Bus stop before adding content to articles. Even if you choose to ignore this gesture, can you clarify whether the ban you imposed also includes talk pages and or only applies to articles as a total ban seems unnecessary and overly harsh.

Request: JSTOR Info

Hi OhanaUnited, I'm working on this page: http://en.wikipedia.org/Marianna_Biernacka and I need a little help confirming the beatification status of the subject.

I did a search on JSTOR and found a book that I believe should contain the information I need. The Catholic Historical Review Vol. 85, No. 4, Oct., 1999 Do you think you can help out with this? Thanks a lot. Also, I'm a little new to wikipedia. How exactly do you add links to words during talk conversations? Carlang (talk) 14:03, 21 September 2012 (UTC)

Leaving PDF links on the resource exchanges board

Can you leave the links at the user's talk page? That, or emailing the link, is what others have done. The JSTOR copyright rules prohibit systematic distribution, and leaving a link in a public noticeboard could be construed that way. The talk page link, while still public, is less of an issue, it is not a public noticeboard. Churn and change (talk) 19:18, 21 September 2012 (UTC)

WikiProject Good articles (Participant Clean-Up)

Hello, you are receiving this message because you are currently a participant of WikiProject Good articles. Since the creation of the WikiProject, over 200 user's have joined to help review good article nominations and contribute to other sections of the WikiProject. Over the years, several of these users have stopped reviewing articles and/or have become inactive with the project but are still listed as participates. In order to improve communications with other participants and get newsletters sent out faster (newsletters will begin to be sent out monthly starting in October) all participants that are no longer active with the WikiProject will be removed from the participants list.

If you are still interested in being a participant for this WikiProject, please sign your user name here and please help review some articles so we can reduce the size of the backlog. If you are no longer interested, you do not need to sign your name anywhere and your name will be removed from the participants list after the deadline. Remember that even if you are not interested at this time, you can always re-add your name to the list whenever you want. The deadline to sign your name on the page above will be November 1, 2012. Thank-you. 13:31, 22 September 2012 (UTC)

Update for: WikiProject Good articles (Participant Clean-Up)

Sorry for having to send out a second message but a user has brought to my attention that a point mentioned in the first message should be clarified.

Orphaned non-free media (File:SAT Airlines logo.gif)

Thanks for uploading File:SAT Airlines logo.gif. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Misplaced Pages under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Misplaced Pages. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Misplaced Pages (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Misplaced Pages page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 04:17, 28 September 2012 (UTC)
