Milhist June Newsletter
When you get a moment, could you please send out the Military history newsletter (Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/News/Newsletter June 2010) to the different lists at Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/News/Options and the Active members list? Thanks in advance, TomStar81 (Talk) 23:47, 5 July 2010 (UTC)
- PS: We are introducing a new format with this newsletter, if this effects your bot's ability to deliver the newsletter in any way please let us know so we can work with you to find a solution to the problem. Thanks, TomStar81 (Talk) 23:47, 5 July 2010 (UTC)
- Gah! We want to send the full contents to everyone now! That was the "new format" Tom was referring to, but didn't explain (why he didn't, I don't know). Is it possible to change that quickly? —Ed (talk • majestic titan) 18:40, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
- Basically, we want to go to a more Signpost-like format, hence the inclusion of just headlines in the "full contents". —Ed (talk • majestic titan) 18:42, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

The article Philip Bolden has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- No major roles, no significant coverage in independent reliable sources. Not notable.
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. SummerPhD (talk) 02:23, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

Your bot appears to be using some crude appending which is taking the section edit summary of the preceding section. This is perhaps because you are using AWB and have not unchecked the "Do not use section edit summaries" button. You should uncheck that button and use an edit summary with /* anchors */ or somesuch. –xenotalk 15:27, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

Nekrogoblikon....
Hello, my name is Alex Alereza and I play guitar for a band called Nekrogoblikon that has apparently been banned from this site. If I recall correctly, the we were banned due to too many articles being posted on us and because we didn't at the time merit enough recognition to be posted on this site. The reason there were so many articles was because we actually posted up on our Myspace page that the first person to create a wikipedia page for us would receive a free copy of our album. As a result, multiple entries were made and no single page was allowed to stay on.
In addition, since this time, we have become slightly more prominent: In 2009, we signed to a label called Creator-Destructor, a label run by Ben Murray, the drummer of Light This City (the band has a wikipedia page as well). In addition, we have performed with August Burns Red, Cattle Decapitation, Burning the Masses, MC Frontalot, The Minibosses, and other prominent acts since that time, and have been endorsed by Halo Guitars and The Mountain T-shirt company. For more information you can check out our myspace: www.myspace.com/nekrogoblikon. All I ask is that we be allowed to have a wikipedia page.
Thank you.

Funding by search engines?
I don't understand why the major search engines don't support Wikipedia. They refer here all the time, and they have huge market caps. Bridgetttttttebabblepoop 04:38, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
- Google has actually donated in the past, but they're all free to donate just as everyone else is. Our information is free for anyone to use, so they're free to link to us as they wish. :-) Linking/referring us actually is supporting us too, when you think about it.

NYC Meetup: Saturday, December 4
Our next Wikipedia NYC Meetup is this weekend on Saturday Dec 4 at Brooklyn Museum during their awesome First Saturdays program, starting at 5 PM.
A particular highlight for the wiki crowd will be 'Seductive Subversion: Women Pop Artists, 1958–1968', and the accompanying "WikiPop" project, with specially-created Wikipedia articles on the artists displayed on iPads in the gallery.
This will be a museum touring and partying meetup, so no excuses about being a shy newbie this time. Bring a friend too!
You can add or remove your name from the New York City Meetups invite list at Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC/Invite list.
To keep up-to-date on local events, you can also join our mailing list.This has been an automated delivery by BrownBot (talk) 22:14, 3 December 2010 (UTC)
