?[edit]

What are project namespace edits as described by llama man?

King Toadsworth "The Princess is in Another Castle (Again)" 20:26, 1 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure but I think it is an edit (or group of them) done to a Wikiproject page... Ask him for more details, I'm still a little new. —¡Randfan! 20:36, 1 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

archiving[edit]

Do you know how to archive, because your page is kind of long already and will just get longer.  :) If you need help just ask me on my talk page, and I recommend werdnabot, though it seems to be out of action currently. —¡Randfan! 20:38, 1 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Where is llama man?[edit]

ever since he gave me the o.k. for his adminship, he's stopped responding. Where is he?

King Toadsworth "The Princess is in Another Castle (Again)" 20:38, 1 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Here I am! Yay! —The Great LlamaRFA? 20:39, 1 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Huzzah[edit]

that was quick. Hey llama man, do you know how i can have my talk page archived?

King Toadsworth "The Princess is in Another Castle (Again)" 20:40, 1 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You can cut and paste all your old messages to User talk:King Toadsworth/archive/Archive 1, or something like that, and link to the page somewhere on your talk page. I use the archivebox template. You can put that template and add links to your archive with {{archivebox}}. —The Great LlamaRFA? 20:43, 1 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Or you could "hire" Werdnabot to do it for you (see the HowTo section) but like I said earlier, it's offline right now. By the way, you know you recieved some Wikimoney, right? —¡Randfan! 20:47, 1 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

what is wikimoney[edit]

where is it and what is it?

King Toadsworth "The Princess is in Another Castle (Again)" 20:47, 1 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It is in your account here and it is a way to reward a good job of editing. You can find more out here. —¡Randfan! 20:49, 1 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I see to like you, so may I add your name to my Wikifriends list? Cheers! —¡Randfan! 20:54, 1 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

SURE!, but what is a wikifriend, besides the obvious explanation. King Toadsworth "The Princess is in Another Castle (Again)" 01:10, 2 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yay! And a Wikifriend is someone who has good exchanges with you in the past and you have gained a sense of friendship with them, but only on Wikipedia. I'll add the templates now :). —¡Randfan! 02:37, 2 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Put this on your user page where you want:

{{Template:Adoptee|Randfan}}

to get:

Huh? I thought your userbox said that you were adopted by Randfan. Ninetywazup? 22:34, 14 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
My mistake... —¡Randfan! 21:10, 16 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Suggestion[edit]

Hi again, you probably shouldn't list yourself in Category:Kings, as that is only for mainspace articles. —The Great Llamamoo? 00:26, 2 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

ok[edit]

it was a little funny, but ok

King Toadsworth "The Princess is in Another Castle (Again)" 00:27, 2 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

?s[edit]

Do you have anything I can help you with? Please respond on my talk page (darkred "fan"), thanks!¡Randfan! 00:55, 2 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

and you might not want to start a new topic for every response, just a suggestion, though. :) —¡Randfan! 00:56, 2 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, to reply to something on your talk , just put :(message) on the left side of the edit box. —The Great Llamamoo? 00:59, 2 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

thanks guys

King Toadsworth "The Princess is in Another Castle (Again)" 01:00, 2 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

oh yeah, would anyone like to "adopt me"? You guys\gals\things have been so helpful already, i wouldn't mind at all. King Toadsworth "The Princess is in Another Castle (Again)" 01:05, 2 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sure! Just place {{adoptme}} on your userpage and one of us will! —The Great Llamamoo? 01:07, 2 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I didn'tknow you didn't know how to talk on their page, I'm sorry. And as stated below, can I adopt you, too? —¡Randfan! 02:13, 2 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Adopted[edit]

Hello, King Toadsworth! I see that you have expressed an interest in being adopted by an experienced editor. I accept your request, being an experienced editor myself. Whether you want to learn about wiki markup, find something to do, or just talk to somebody, I'm the one you can talk to - just leave a message on my talk page. Good luck with Wikipedia! —The Great Llamamoo? 01:11, 2 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Can I adopt you, too. I have adopted a few people already but they don't happen to be on ever... I would like to help in that way, so please accept. Cheers! :) —¡Randfan! 02:04, 2 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Re: how[edit]

Yep, it counts. —The Great Llamamoo? 01:16, 2 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

And for the category you added to your userpage: It's fine to do that, but create a subpage like User:King Toadsworth/Minor edits or something like that, paste the content from the minor edit userbox, add the category to the bottom like this: <noinclude>[[Category:User templates]]</noinclude>, and transclude it to your userpage like this: {{User:King Toadsorth/Minor edits}}. This probably sounds confusing; as always, feel free to ask any questions on my talk page. —The Great Llamamoo? 01:22, 2 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
WONDERFUL! I hope to heck that you win adminship. I also saw tons of supporters there, so you shaould have a good chance. Incidentally, is there a certain amount of votes needed to procure adminship? King Toadsworth "The Princess is in Another Castle (Again)" 01:19, 2 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Usually, it's at least 75% support. —The Great Llamamoo? 01:22, 2 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
75% of all people who voice their opinion? King Toadsworth "The Princess is in Another Castle (Again)" 01:25, 2 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Usually, but there are exceptions. Neutrals don't count as much. —The Great Llamamoo? 01:27, 2 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I see. I would like to take this moment to make a toast to you, Llama Man, as the most welcoming, hospitable, and guiding Wikipedian the World has ever seen. Cheers! King Toadsworth "The Princess is in Another Castle (Again)" 01:29, 2 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! I have no idea what Chuck Norris has to do with this, but here he is anyway! —The Great Llamamoo? 01:31, 2 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

HAHA! All this and a sense of humor too? Amazing! Stupendous! Outstanding! Exemplary! King Toadsworth "The Princess is in Another Castle (Again)" 01:32, 2 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, I just realized I've been online for three to five hours. Must...get...off. —The Great Llamamoo? 02:08, 2 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I won't let you! =-) —¡Randfan! 02:30, 2 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Linking and sourcing[edit]

Only topics directly related to the subject or relevant to its context should be linked. General dictionary words should not be linked. Also, when adding new information to an article, cite where the information was obtained in a reliable published source, or it is liable to be deleted. —Centrx→talk • 10:12, 2 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Helloooo. anyone there? King Toadsworth "The Princess is in Another Castle (Again)" 04:11, 3 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! I'm back from camping! —¡Randfan! 18:25, 3 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Hi! I'm trying to make few edits to the user talk namespace today, due to my failed RfA. —The Great Llamamoo? 18:27, 3 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry to hear it. You'll succeed next time for sure. King Toadsworth "The Princess is in Another Castle (Again)" 18:41, 3 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sure you will! —¡Randfan! 18:58, 3 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No worries, try to relieve that Wikistress. Take some Yoga lessons or something along those lines.

OOOh Yeah[edit]

I've just reverted about 10 pages of vandalism! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/King_Toadsworth King Toadsworth "The Princess is in Another Castle (Again)" 19:12, 3 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Good job! If you want to make it easier to revert vandalism, put

{{subst:navpop}} in your monobook.js. An explanation of that can be found at WP:POP. —The Great Llamamoo? 19:37, 3 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

WOW!!!!! Good job! —¡Randfan! 21:27, 3 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wow[edit]

I did it! Thanks, Llama man! Thats actually pretty cool! It seems that I've learned so much in the past few days, but i still have a ways to go! King Toadsworth "The Princess is in Another Castle (Again)" 19:42, 3 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I know, isn't it awesome!!!! —¡Randfan! 21:28, 3 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

award[edit]

I, Lews Therin Come Again, award you, King Toadsworth, this award for contributing so well to Wikipedia and still being new. The sunrise is rather symbolic, try figuring it out. ongrats and cheers! —¡Randfan! 21:34, 3 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Holy Moly!!!!![edit]

Thanks! Thats my very 1st award!!!! :^) :^) :^)! I'm so happy... King Toadsworth "The Princess is in Another Castle (Again)" 21:36, 3 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You needed it, otherwise it would be a crime! I remember my first award. I'll provide a link to it when I find it. —¡Randfan! 21:40, 3 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Okay this is the page with my first award. Obviously, it's no as good of a reason as yours, but still..... —¡Randfan! 21:43, 3 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Reverting[edit]

Hi,

Thanks for your efforts in removing vandalism, but you seem to be manually removing it. Check out WP:REVERT for instructions on how to completely roll back to a previous revision. Quarma 00:56, 4 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

thanks a lot[edit]

Thanks for the vandal-fighting info! King Toadsworth "The Princess is in Another Castle (Again)" 00:58, 4 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"Geography-stub"[edit]

Hi - I notice you've been sorting a few location stubs by marking them with {{geography-stub}}. For that, thanks... but is there any reason you're not using the far shorter {{geo-stub}} and saving yourself a bit of typing? I only ask because the geography-stub is likely to be changed soon owing to a proposal for a stub related to the science of geography, so may not be used for much longer. Also, as I said, using geo-stub will save you a little bit of typing :) Grutness...wha? 04:53, 4 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

user page[edit]

Nice user page background! Though, I must say, it look very familiar.... :) Can I ask why you have a user box after the user box that said "this is my last user box"? Also, why don't you have my adoption template on your user page? :) Cheers! —¡Randfan! 16:42, 4 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Also, do you have any questions about anything? —¡Randfan! 16:43, 4 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Heh, sorry i sort of copied your backround. (I changed the color at least!). And the last user box... yeah that's sort of idiotic, but i didn't make it. I'll put myself up for (further) adoption!

It's okay, copy everything if you want. —¡Randfan! 17:45, 5 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Your RfA[edit]

King Toadsworth, I have to agree with the other comments expressed in your RfA and strongly urge withdrawal. You're a nice enough chap, but there's no one in recent memory has become an administrator with only 9 days spent on the project and less than 500 edits. It just doesn't happen. I think that a Wikipedia:Editor review would probably be more appropriate. I'd be happy to review your contributions myself, if you'd like.--Kchase T 01:24, 5 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sure. To tell the truth, the RfA was just as important feedback as it was a plausible request. Thank you for mentioning these things, old bean. King Toadsworth "The Princess is in Another Castle (Again)" 01:34, 5 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Let me know if you want some specific feedback. Sorry your short-lived RfA didn't go very well. I'm sure you will have an opportunity for a more successful one in the future.--Kchase T 01:51, 5 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Vandal ousting[edit]

Just plugging away at these vandals. There seems to be more each day than the last. King Toadsworth "The Princess is in Another Castle (Again)" 23:05, 5 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the award! —The Great Llamamoo? 00:14, 6 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The Exceptional Newcomer Award
Well lets see "newcomer" (check) and "excellent" (check) I guess that makes you an excellent newcomer! — Seadog 01:47, 6 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Further Adoption[edit]

Hi King Toadsworth,

Just wanted to ask if you were still looking for further adoption, or whether you were happy with your two current adopters. If the latter please remove the request for adoption from your user page. Cheers Lethaniol 16:05, 7 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks - hope your adoptions are going well :):) Lethaniol 23:02, 7 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm Back![edit]

Sorry I was gone. I had to go Christmas shopping and wrap some gifts. I'm back now, so Cheers! King Toadsworth "The Princess is in Another Castle (Again)" 23:00, 7 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Edit count[edit]

Yep there is a way, for you all you have to do is click Edit Count but try not to do it all the time or you will end up like some of us who check it each time we log on! :). Hope it helps. — Seadog 23:05, 7 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yeh, it's called editcountitus. —¡Randfan! 00:52, 8 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
And it can be fatal. –The Great Llamamoo? 00:54, 8 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Or worse, get us expelled. No wait, that was Hermoine in Harry Potter and talking about their schemes to brak the rules... :) —¡Randfan! 21:58, 8 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

So, any questions?[edit]

So, my only adoptee that is on WP at a regular basis, do you have any questions for me? I'll be willing to help, but I can't if I don't know... Cheers! —¡Randfan! 21:58, 8 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The Communism Vandal[edit]

Who is the Communism Vandal and what did he do? King Toadsworth "The Princess is in Another Castle (Again)" 01:09, 9 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Basically the communism vandal placed on many articles the image "Hammer and sickle", and placed the text "wikipedia is communism" on many articles. — Seadog 03:45, 9 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
About Willy on Wheels, sorry, I thought I'd signed it. Yeah, I left it; I thought you might be impressed by how many sockpuppets he had. Sorry, you might want to delete it. Cheers. —¡Randfan! 17:07, 9 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's Fine, but what is with all that stuff besides the list itself? King Toadsworth "The Princess is in Another Castle (Again)" 17:11, 9 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That, is from the page I got it from (if you put a page name in {{ }} it acts like template with al the info on the page tranfered over). I should have edited it out... —¡Randfan! 17:25, 9 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I like it. Very nice colour choice. One thing, though.

Hello there![edit]

Hello! I was wondering if you would be interested in joining a WikiProject known as WikiProject Abandoned Articles. This WikiProject is concerned with getting abandoned articles (eg:articles not visited in more than a long time which has not yet been decided upon) to be visited more often. Thanks!! Ninetywazup? 22:40, 14 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Re:Subpages[edit]

Well, Ninety already answered it on my talk page, but to create a subpage, search for User:King Toadsworth/whatever. –The Great Llamamoo? 23:30, 14 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Or, you could do [[user (talk):King Toadworth/whatever]] to get a red link and just click on the link and it auto-creates. Also, you can add another " /whatever " to created a further subpage which will stem from the other. If this doesn't make since (which it probably doesn't :)) then you can see my talk page archives as an example. —¡Randfan! 00:37, 15 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Your opinion[edit]

What do you think of this edit? Does the "Characteristics" section still need trimming? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. –The Great Llamamoo? 02:24, 15 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Very good, but I think the additional statement to Baby Mario was unneeded. Kudos, and great job. You're a hard worker! :-) King Toadsworth 20:53, 15 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Redirecting[edit]

Could you make a redirect to your pages so it's quicker for me to get to this page? It would be greatly appreciated. (By the way, if you don't know how to make a redirect it would be, in this case

[[user:King T.]] and [[user talk:King T.]] or something like that and on those page you put:

#Redirect: [[user (talk):King Toadsworth]]

Thanks! —¡Randfan! 01:01, 16 December 2006 (UTC) [reply]

?[edit]

what pages should I apply the redirect? King Toadsworth 03:08, 16 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You could do something like the King T. or something... I don't know. I was just giving you a suggestion because it kind of takes a little while to type it. I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings, I didn't mean to. Cheers! —¡Randfan! 20:53, 16 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I added the redirects King Toadsworth 01:21, 17 December 2006 (UTC).[reply]

Good for you! What are they? Also, I want to make a redirect to my page, but I can't think of one that is quicker to type than mine right now. I tried "user:Car'a'Carn" but that's longer. Maybe "user:Al'Thor"... No wait that is the same number of letters... ANY WAYS, CHEERS! —¡Randfan! 02:37, 17 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Prince Toadsworth! ;-) Thanks for adding yourself to the list of my friends. | AndonicO Talk | Sign Here 22:50, 17 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's King Toadsworth! King! But you're welcome anyways. :^) King Toadsworth The Princess is in another Castle! 22:51, 17 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, King! Are you really sixty (nothing wrong with that just saying I've always imagined you as a little kid who looks like that mushroom guy in Mario). Also, I'm a friend of Don Quixote and don't support wind power, too. I'll get you prize (you were first to sign down there but second to sign total but you will get 1rst signer prize just like Kyoko). Cheers! —¡Randfan!Sign here? 00:22, 18 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Help![edit]

Hello, King Toadsworth! I'm a friend of Randfan (even ask him/her if you want). I saw your question on Llama man's talk page and am here to respond, though offer very little help. I currently have the same problem abd have had it in the past and I just keep changing pages until it goes away. I know this doesn't help much but it may a little. 76.188.7.83 02:47, 18 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Help![edit]

I keep geeting the "new messages" popup, but it just keeps showing the last one I made to this page! What in the devil is happening?!? King Toadsworth The Princess is in another Castle! 02:47, 18 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know how to get id of it, unfortunately. I have that problem occasionally, just wait a little while (try logging out and back in) and it should go away. And to the above, I'm his fried truly, in real life and here. —¡Randfan!Sign here? 02:59, 18 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, I have it right now... Something up with the server? —¡Randfan!Sign here? 02:59, 18 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
That's interesting! I thought I might have finally encountered a serious problem. Kudos for the tip-off Randfan and.. friend! :>)King Toadsworth The Princess is in another Castle! 03:01, 18 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry for the sorta-late reply. I was sick and stayed home from school today, and couldn't get on the computer until now. It's happened to me a few times; depending on what browser you're using, follow the instructions in your monobook.js to do a hard refresh. If that doesn't work (it usually doesn't), do as Randfan said and try logging out and in, closing, etc. There's been a discussion about this somewhere at WP:VPT. –The Great Llamasign here 00:05, 19 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]


RfA thanks!

Thank you so much, King Toadsworth, for your gracious support in my RfA (48/1/0)! I am very happy that you trust me with this great honor and privilege. If at any time you think that I need to step back and take a deep breath or just want to talk, please contact me. Happy editing! Cbrown1023 03:52, 18 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]


a Christmas present[edit]

My Christmas present to you. Thanks for signing my autograph book, I told you I would get you something nice (you were the first to sign in the Autograph section so I give you the same prize as the first signer!), King Toadsworth. The card will come soon. Hope you hve a simply brilliant holiday on your personal cruise ship! —¡Randfan!Sign here? 17:55, 20 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Sweet! King Toadsworth The Princess is in another Castle! 18:26, 20 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Behold![edit]

My first article! King Toadsworth The Princess is in another Castle! 18:33, 20 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Good job! When I find it, I'll show you my first article created (it's a stub, but you can't blame me for that- almost no information anywhere on it.). I made it on my first day. Cheers and a very happy Christmas/Wnterval to you! —¡Randfan!Sign here? 19:46, 20 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
This was my first article anywhere. And just today I uploaded a new picture: Two llamas in a Pen. Cheers and good work! I would help, but really, I'm not good at editing articles and I don't know a thing about it. —¡Randfan!Sign here? 19:52, 20 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Great job! I haven't written any new articles myself, as I'm more of an existing article editor rather than a creator. My first image was Image:Nintendo Power V209.jpg. Again, great job on the article! –The Great Llamasign here 20:16, 20 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I have made a few more images (1, 2, and maybe a third)! Cheers and keep up the good work! —¡Randfan!Sign here? 05:45, 21 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Okay,no third :(... —¡Randfan!Sign here? 05:46, 21 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think I am violating Username Guidelines, regarding fictional characters. Or are they referring to letter characters? {$^@,etc.) Does anyone care to clear this up for me? King Toadsworth The Princess is in another Castle! 17:48, 21 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thinks do I that it does mean to be speaking of letter or punctuational characters. Twisted Rapscallion 19:39, 21 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with Twisted. I'm a fictional character. Also, could you help me with a the ! users on these pages. I got the first hundred plus, but I still need help. A b-star is probably in reward section... —¡Randfan!Sign here? 20:35, 21 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No need to worry. Randfan and Llama Man have already adopted me, so I have all the help I need. Cheers! :-) King Toadsworth The Princess is in another Castle! 22:47, 22 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]


Merry Winterval(s)!!!! (12-22-06)[edit]

Oh, the weather outside is frightful!... But I hope wherever you you are, that it's warm and delightful! : )Randfan!!


Dear King Toadsworth/Archive,


I wish you a very, very merry Winterval!

And since I don't know which you celebrate, I hope you have/had/will have a very happy Holiday!. Hope you and your family have a magnificent day, or series of days! You might wanna install the "SaucyMillionaire" font to see this correctly. Cheers, mate!:)Randfan!!

God (or your deity/deities) bless you and your family! —¡Randfan!Sign here? 02:30, 22 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]


-I was planning to hand these out on the 22nd of Dec. but things got in the way.... Happy holidays! —¡Randfan!Sign here? 19:17, 23 December 2006 (UTC) [reply]

Hello, and thank you for the support on my recent RfA. The final tally was 63/3/2, and I have now been entrusted with the mop. I hope I can live up to your trust, and certainly welcome any and all feedback. All the best, and thanks again! — Agathoclea 12:25, 25 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The project has reached the quarter-way point for the work on the list of the oldest 1000 ("abandoned") articles in Wikipedia: 250 articles have been reviewed and updated!

The project now has 21 members. If you're no longer interested, please take your name off the list; you won't get any further messages like this one. On the other hand, if you're still interested, please consider signing up for a(nother) block of 10 articles to work on - if everyone did this, we'd be almost halfway through those 1000 articles!

Finally, please note that project approach has changed slightly - there is now a section for editors to place articles that need to be "adopted", or to adopt articles that need further work. This means that if you find an article in a block of ten that needs more work than you have time for, it has a place to be put.

A tag has been placed on AEA Investors, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group or service and which would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add {{hangon}} on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. RJASE1 Talk 23:02, 1 March 2007 (UTC) [reply]

October 2007 newsletter for WikiProject Abandoned Articles[edit]

Welcome[edit]

The WikiProject welcomes two new members in the past three months:

Progress[edit]

The WikiProject is now halfway done, numerically, with the 1000 articles identified in December 2006. The first (oldest) 500 articles have been claimed, reviewed, and (when needed, which was almost all cases) improved. Moreover, given the passage of time, many of articles 501 through 1000 have been worked on by other editors (it's ten months since that list was generated). So reviewing the second half of the 1000 articles should be easier.

A slightly different approach[edit]

Section 6 (articles 501 through 600 on the list) has been organized differently than the previous five sections. First, blocks are (roughly) five articles each, rather than 10, making it easier for you to claim and finish a block. Second, perhaps more importantly, each block consists of similar pages; if you're interested in fixing disambiguation pages, there are blocks of those; if you're interested in articles (which is what the project originally started out being), there are blocks of those; and there is one block of lists and one of redirects (mostly redirects to articles). So, fewer surprises this time when you claim a block.

In addition, since the project now has 25 active members (though some are likely inactive), having more blocks will make it easier to spread the editing around.

Inactivating your membership[edit]

If you received this newsletter on your user talk page and don't want to receive such postings in the future, please move your name, in the participants section of the WikiProject, to the "Inactive" subsection.

About this newsletter[edit]

This newsletter is being delivered by Anibot; it was written by John Broughton. Please post any comments about it to Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Abandoned Articles, in a section separate from the newsletter itself.
