I was about to Prod the article, but saw it was written by you. Could you find some reliable refs for the article. I tried to goto her record publisher's (nons records) website, but it has been hacked with malware on it.

I haven't seen you around in awhile. How is school going? Bgwhite (talk) 00:51, 2 October 2012 (UTC)

Oh hi Bgwhite, it's good to see you, I'm trying to get reliable refs.

School is just messed up man, I'm not going anymore. What about you, what's going on?-- Assassin'S Creed ^{T - E - C - G -} 06:29, 2 October 2012 (UTC)

Nothing new. Just the usual. Winter is coming here. I see snow in the mountains from my window. I learned the other day from Titodutta about the state civil service exam he going to take. I thought China and Japan were exam crazy, but those Indian civil service exams have to be the worst. There are only two ways to get ahead, use your head or use your connections. So, atleast stay in school and graduate in something. Bgwhite (talk) 06:37, 2 October 2012 (UTC)

Hmm good for Titodutta :), I'm trying to get in school again to graduate. Actually I just have some problems with my dad. I'm hoping he'll allow me soon to go to school again.-- Assassin'S Creed ^{T - E - C - G -} 06:46, 2 October 2012 (UTC)

WikiCup 2012 September newsletter

We're over half way through the final, and so it is less than a month until we know for certain our 2012 WikiCup champion. Grapple X (submissions) currently leads, followed by Sasata (submissions), Cwmhiraeth (submissions) and Casliber (submissions). However, we have no one resembling a breakaway leader, and so the competition is a long way from over. Next month's newsletter will feature a list of our winners (who are not necessarily only the finalists) and keep your eyes open for an article on the WikiCup in a future edition of The Signpost. The leaders are already on a par with last year's winners, but a long way from the huge scores seen in 2010. That said, a repeat of the competition from 2010 seems unlikely.

It is good to see that three-quarters of our finalists have already scored bonus points this round. This shows that, contrary to criticism that the WikiCup has received in the past, the competition does not merely incentivise the writing of trivial articles; instead, our top competitors are still spending their time contributing to high-importance articles, and bringing them to a high standard. This does a great service to the encyclopedia and its readers. Thank you, and good work!

The planning for next year's WikiCup is ongoing. Some straw polls have been opened concerning the scoring, and you can now sign up for next year's competition. As ever, if you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

GOCE September 2012 drive wrap-up

Guild of Copy Editors September 2012 backlog elimination drive wrap-up Participation: Out of 41 people who signed up this drive, 28 copy-edited at least one article. Thanks to all who participated! Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here. Progress report: We achieved our primary goal of clearing July, August, September and October 2011 from the backlog. This means that, for the first time since the drives began, the backlog is less than a year. At least 677 tagged articles were copy edited, although 365 new ones were added during the month. The total backlog at the end of the month was 2341 articles, down from 8323 when we started out over two years ago. We completed all 54 requests outstanding before September 2012 as well as eight of those made in September. Copy Edit of the Month: Voting is now over for the August 2012 competition, and prizes will be issued soon. The September 2012 contest is closed for submissions and open for voting. The October 2012 contest is now open for submissions. Everyone is welcome to submit entries and to vote. – Your drive coordinators: Stfg, Allens, and Torchiest.

Orphaned non-free media (File:Cinestar logo.png)

Thanks for uploading File:Cinestar logo.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. 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 Wikipedia (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 Wikipedia 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) 04:15, 16 October 2012 (UTC)

WikiCup 2012 October newsletter

4. Casliber (submissions)
5. Muboshgu (submissions)
6. Miyagawa (submissions)
7. Ruby2010 (submissions)
8. Dana Boomer (submissions)

Prizes for first, second, third and fourth will be awarded, as will prizes for all those who reached the final eight. Every participant who scored in the competition will receive a ribbon of participation. In addition to the prizes based on placement, the following special prizes will be awarded based on high performance in particular areas of content creation. So that the finalists do not have an undue advantage, the prize is awarded to the competitor who scored the highest in any particular field in a single round.

• The featured article award goes to Grapple X (submissions), for four featured articles in the final round.
• The good article award also goes to Grapple X (submissions), for 19 good articles in the second round.

• The topic award goes to Grapple X (submissions), for three good topics (with around 40 articles) in round 4.

• The news award goes to ThaddeusB (submissions), for 10 in the news items in round 3.
• The picture award goes to Grandiose (submissions), for two featured pictures in round 2.
• The reviewer award goes to both Ruby2010 (submissions) (14 reviews in round 1) and Grandiose (submissions) (14 reviews in round 3).
• Finally, for achieving an incredible bonus point total in the final round, and for bringing the top-importance article frog to featured status, a biostar has been awarded to Cwmhiraeth (submissions).

Awards will be handed out in the coming days; please bear with us! This year's competition also saw fantastic contributions in all rounds, from newer Wikipedians contributing their first good or featured articles, right up to highly experienced Wikipedians chasing high scores and contributing to topics outside of their usual comfort zones. It would be impossible to name all of the participants who have achieved things to be proud of, but well done to all of you, and thanks! Wikipedia has certainly benefited from the work of this year's WikiCup participants.

Next year's WikiCup will begin in January. Currently, discussions and polls are open, and all contributions are welcome. You can also sign up for next year's competition. There will be no further newsletters this year, although brief notes may be sent out in December to remind everyone about the upcoming competition. It's been a pleasure to work with you all, and we hope to see you all in January! J Milburn (talk • email) and The ed17 (talk • email) 00:13, 1 November 2012 (UTC)

GOCE November 2012 copy edit drive update

Guild of Copy Editors November 2012 backlog elimination drive mid-drive newsletter Participation: Out of 31 people signed up for this drive so far, 22 have copy-edited at least one article. If you've signed up but haven't yet copy-edited any articles, every bit helps; if you haven't signed up yet, it's not too late. Join us! Progress report: We're on track to meet our targets for the drive. We have reduced our target group of articles—November and December 2011—by over 50%, and 34 of the the 56 requests made in September and October this year have already been fulfilled. However, the rate of tagging for copy edit has increased, and this month we are just keeping the size of the backlog stable. So, all you copy editors, please do come along and help us! The September 2012 Copy Edit of the Month Contest was won by Baffle gab1978 for his copy edit of Expulsion of the Acadians. Runner up was Gareth Griffith-Jones for his edit of I Could Fall in Love. Congratulations to both. The October 2012 Copy Edit of the Month Contest is in the discussion and voting stage until midnight November 30 (UTC). You don't have to make a submission to vote! November 2012 Copy Edit of the Month Contest is in the submissions stage until midnight November 30 (UTC), when discussion and voting begin. Seasonal oversight: We had a slight fall from grace in the title of our last newletter, which mentioned the season in the northern hemisphere and thus got it wrong for the southern. Fortunately an observant GOCE member was ready to spring into action to advise us. Thanks!

Articles for creation needs YOUR help!

Articles for creation is desperately short of reviewers! We are looking for urgent help, from experienced editors, in reviewing submissions in the pending submissions queue. Currently there are 1070 submissions waiting to be reviewed and many help requests at our help desk. Do you have what it takes? Are you familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines? Do you know what Wikipedia is and is not? Do you have a working knowledge of the Manual of Style, particularly article naming conventions? Can you review submissions based on their individual merits? If the answer to these questions is yes, then please read the reviewing instructions and donate a little of your time to helping tackle the backlog. You might wish to add {{AFC status}} or {{AfC Defcon}} to your userpage, which will alert you to the number of open submissions. Plus, reviewing is easy when you use our new semi-automated reviewing script! Thanks in advance, Nathan2055talk - contribs

About Constituency NA-91 and so on

Hi Captain Wikipedia! I think it might be a good idea to rename National Assembly constituencies to some more descriptive name, like Pakistan National Assembly Constituency NA-91. This might be per WP:NAMINGCRITERIA policy, but I think it might also be just plain old WP:COMMONSENSE. Your thoughts about this?--Shirt58 (talk) 11:25, 4 December 2012 (UTC)

I think it is better in the way like Constituency NA-91 because it is usually known as it is. And on the other hand you moved article into "Pakistan National Assembly Constituency NA-91" which is basically wrong because NA is meant by National Assembly and it's already describing that so not need to make a longer name...Is it correct?-- Captain Wikipedia! ^{( T - C - G )} 11:34, 4 December 2012 (UTC)

You're right, the "NA" in "Constituency NA-91" does indicate that it is a constituency in the National Assembly. I have no doubt that as you wrote, that "Constituency NA-91" is known as "Constituency NA-91", in English, in Pakistan. That would fine for Wikipedia readers who are familiar with the structures of the Parliament of Pakistan. I would suggest that cohort is very few readers. For that reason, I still suggest the article names should have the "Pakistan National Assembly+n" qualifier.--Shirt58 (talk) 12:32, 4 December 2012 (UTC)

Yeah I understood you what you mean...you think it's a Pakistan's constituency and it should be described like "Pakistan NA-91" or "Pakistan National Assembly 91" but look there is no other countries articles this time similar to "Constituency NA-91" so I would suggest to remain them in their ways because that's the way people searches or calls the constituencies. And when there is any article coming in same name then we'll move them to "Constituency NA-91 (Pakistan)" or "Pakistan constituency NA-91", like that...hopefully for a +ve response :-).-- Captain Wikipedia! ^{( T - C - G )} 21:34, 4 December 2012 (UTC)

My goodness - I'm actually involved a dispute! It's a long-established Wikipedia tradition that we should now stop discussing the merits of the matter at hand and start calling each other names. If that's OK with you, I'll start first: Captain Wikipedia!, it is obvious to me that you are a Wikipedia editor in good standing, and somewhat of an expert about politics in Pakistan. We may possibly have to agree to disagree about some matters raised here. And you are a smeg-head. --Shirt58 (talk) 12:53, 6 December 2012 (UTC)

Ooooh, a fight. I love a good fight. Dang, I wish I knew some derogatory Pakastani terms. Assassin is so ugly, the family dog keeps trying to bury him. Shirt58 is so ugly, he got his name because his mom kept his head covered in 5 to 8 shirts. If shirt58 left England for Pakistan, both countries IQs would go up. (Nothing better than insulting both of you with one joke). Bgwhite (talk) 18:54, 6 December 2012 (UTC)

Hahahah, oh my God. I laughed out loud after a long time, it's hilarious. Hello Mr. Shirt58! Bgwhite got us man, he is really good at this :-). Alright enough, so now what do you want?...Just tell me straight forward.-- Captain Wikipedia! ^{( T - C - G )} 20:06, 6 December 2012 (UTC)

Ignore Bgwhite, Captain Wikipedia!, he's just annoyed that for him "hockey" means a combination of Ice dancing and MMA. In our more civilised nations, after a proper hockey match, the opposing teams sit down to have a spot of tea and cucumber sandwiches rather than starting up the Zamboni.

Seriously, though. Having had a think about this, I agree with you: if the "Pakistan National Assembly Constituency NA-91" is best known as Constituency NA-91, then "Constituency NA-91" should be the article name.--Shirt58 (talk) 09:48, 12 December 2012 (UTC)

Hmmm good thought...I already told you it's best known as simply "Constituency NA-91", by the way thanks for your consideration and replying very soon... :-)-- Captain Wikipedia! ^{( T - C - G )} 10:04, 12 December 2012 (UTC)

Hello again. I was about to start {{Template:National Assembly constituencies of Pakistan}}, but it's already created. At present it only includes constituencies in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Islamabad and the federally administered territories. PS: Bgwhite: you are a smeg-head--Shirt58 (talk) 10:56, 12 December 2012 (UTC)

Yes I started the template, but it's containing all the articles which I created about constituencies in Pakistan. I'll add all one by one when I started others. Now it's containing the constituencies of KPK, Federal and a number of Punjab. -- Captain Wikipedia! ^{( T - C - G )} 11:17, 12 December 2012 (UTC)

Your username

Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "Captain Wikipedia!", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because usernames including phrases such as "wikipedia", "wikimedia", "wiktionary" may give the incorrect impression that the account may be officially affiliated with the Wikimedia Foundation or one of its projects.. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username, or you may simply create a new account for editing. Thank you. Sionk (talk) 12:25, 10 December 2012 (UTC)

He already has changed his username once before. The Captain Wikipedia name was allowed by a bureaucrat. Bgwhite (talk) 20:52, 10 December 2012 (UTC)

It was a pretty poor choice, based on policy however (✉→BWilkins←✎) 19:02, 11 December 2012 (UTC)

Hahahah, yeah but I think it'll work because it's not harming or confusing anybody. -- Captain Wikipedia! ^{( T - C - G )} 19:23, 11 December 2012 (UTC)

I noticed that it had been changed. But it seems very strange to allow a name that is blatantly misleading. Sionk (talk) 20:18, 11 December 2012 (UTC)

Hmmm I know what can I do man...? I just like this name so I changed to it, now I'll suggest let it go on as it is. -- Captain Wikipedia! ^{( T - C - G )} 20:25, 11 December 2012 (UTC)

As I just said on my userpage, I interpreted the request as being allowed under policy because there is no position of Captain on Wikipedia and the exclamation point indicated to me that it was meant as a joke, like Captain Underpants. As I haven't heard that this user is running around ordering people as a captain, is it that big of a deal if his username says it? MBisanz ^talk 21:18, 11 December 2012 (UTC)

I guess if Captain Wikipedia! has to change his name every month, he'll get an identity crisis ;) Sionk (talk) 21:28, 11 December 2012 (UTC)

You will always be Assassin to me. Combine a word from each user name... Captain Assassin or my favorite: User with no name

Hahah, it's being a big talk on my username. I'm thinking that Bgwhite you are right, I should have keep my Assassin name...but I remember there was also an issue on that name too. And Bgwhite I like your idea of Troy McClure, I should do that for a while or always :-).-- Captain Wikipedia! ^{( T - C - G )} 05:50, 12 December 2012 (UTC)

Just to clarify, the name wouldn't be allowed under a proper reading of policy and it was my error that let it go through. As such, you aren't required to change names again, but please do try to avoid any confusion under this name's meaning. MBisanz ^talk 06:53, 12 December 2012 (UTC)

That's really very goodness of you Mr. MBisanz, I'll try my best to never let you down, thanks to you for letting me go through with this name.-- Captain Wikipedia! ^{( T - C - G )} 07:04, 12 December 2012 (UTC)

in case you missed the hint, Captain, an RFC/N could indeed make you change it (✉→BWilkins←✎) 09:58, 12 December 2012 (UTC)

Sorry Mr. Bwilkins, but I don't understand about the "in case you missed the hint" you said. I'll be pleased if you make me understand it better by explaining the phrase a lil' bit. Thank you. -- Captain Wikipedia! ^{( T - C - G )} 11:13, 12 December 2012 (UTC)

You were clearly advised above that the username is against policy. So, if someone wanted to force the issue and take you to RFC/N, then you would indeed be forced to change it yet again. My personal suggestion would be to do it voluntarily before the grief of being forced to, which would only cause negative feelings all around. (✉→BWilkins←✎) 12:09, 12 December 2012 (UTC)

Agh! But MBisanz has allowed me to use it when I'm not making any confusion by this name. So if you insist then suggest me some names starting with "Captain", if I like I'll jump to it. :-) -- Captain Wikipedia! ^{( T - C - G )} 12:23, 12 December 2012 (UTC)

What was wrong with Assassin's Creed? All joking aside, Wikipedia's username policy is written for a reason. I've got no problems with the Captain part. But newbies in particular may assume someone called CAPTAIN WIKIPEDIA (in big flashing capitals) is not just another ordinary Joe. Sionk (talk) 12:33, 12 December 2012 (UTC)

Hmmm...User:Captain Obvious was the first one that came to mind, but you would have to WP:USURP it because it was registered but has 6 edits back in 2005. A variant that is User:Captain Oblivious seems to fit for some strange reason that I just can't put my finger on right now. User:Captain Assassin would of course combine this and a previous name. It's not my role to find you a policy-compliant name, but if any user created an RFC/N and linked to MBisanz message above, that would seal the deal and you would be forced to change it. Why not be smart - you seem to want to be part of this community, so live by the rules you agreed to. (✉→BWilkins←✎) 12:54, 12 December 2012 (UTC)

Alright, give me a some time for a better name...I'll change it soon. Thanks to you all. -- Captain Wikipedia! ^{( T - C - G )} 19:40, 12 December 2012 (UTC)

It's 7 days now, change your username. It should be enough. Mr T^{(Talk?) (New thread?)} 14:11, 19 December 2012 (UTC)

Sorry for late but I'm a little busy these days you can see that I'm not editing now. So, please wait untill I'm not totally free. I'm in hometown busy in home business. Thanks.-- Captain Wikipedia! ^{( T - C - G )} 17:13, 21 December 2012 (UTC)

I like your choice of a new name because I still get to call you Assassin, but now other people won't have to wonder why I'm calling you that. Welcome back Assassin! Bgwhite (talk) 08:53, 30 December 2012 (UTC)

Yes I know you would call me Assassin and I think it's a lucky name for me and so I accepted your suggstion :-).-- Captain Wikipedia! ^{( T - C - G )} 10:37, 30 December 2012 (UTC)

GOCE mid-December newsletter

End of Year Events from the Guild of Copy Editors The Guild of Copy Editors invites you to participate in its events: The December 2012 Copy Edit of the Month Contest is currently in the submissions stage. Submit your best December copy edit there before the end of the month. Submissions end, and discussion and voting begin, on January 1 at 00:00 (UTC). Voting is in progress for the November 2012 Copy Edit of the Month Contest. Everyone is welcome to vote, whether they have entered the contest or not. From Sunday 16 December to Saturday 22 December, we are holding a Project Blitz, in which we will copy edit articles tagged with {{copyedit}} from January 2012. The blitz works much like our bimonthly drives, but a bit simpler. Everyone is welcome to take part, and barnstars will be awarded. January 2013 Backlog elimination drive is a month-long effort to reduce the size of the copy edit backlog. The drive begins on January 1 at 00:00 (UTC) and ends on January 31 at 23:59 (UTC). Our goals are to copy edit all articles tagged in January, February, and March 2012 and complete all requests placed before the end of 2012. Barnstars will be awarded to anyone who copy edits at least one article, and special awards will be given to the top five in the following categories: "Number of articles", "Number of words", "Number of articles of over 5,000 words", "Number of articles tagged in January, February, and March 2012", and "Longest article". We hope to see you there! – Your drive coordinators: Stfg, Allens, and Torchiest. Coodinator election: Nominations are open for candidates to serve as GOCE coordinators from 1 January to 30 June 2013. Nominations close on December 15 at 23:59 UTC, after which voting will run until the end of December. For complete information, please have a look at the election page. >>> Blitz sign-up <<<         >>> Drive sign-up <<< To discontinue receiving GOCE newsletters, please remove your name from our mailing list.
