Wikipedia announces launch of new Valued pictures project
edit
The project goes live for nominations on 10 November, 2008 at 0:00 UTC
editThis Wikipedia Valued pictures project sets out to identify and encourage users' efforts in providing valuable images of high encyclopedic value, and to build up a resource for editors from other Wikimedia projects seeking such educational images for use online. The project also provides recognition to contributors who have made an effort to contribute enyclopedic images of difficult subjects which are very hard or nigh on impossible to obtain. The project will run alongside the existing Wikipedia Featured pictures and Picture peer review projects.
Please visit Valued picture candidates to nominate an image, or to help review the nominations. Anyone with an account on Wikipedia is welcome to nominate images, and also to take part in the open review process.
| The Wikipedia valued picture project has opened for nominations. Please feel free to nominate an image at WP:VPC today! |

Signpost on Arbcom elections
editHi;
Do you happen to know if Arbcom elections will get covered in the Signpost? It seems they have done in previous years (though not so in-depth last year). I'd be happy to help cover them if possible. Best wishes, -- how do you turn this on 16:57, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
- I see you've been editing, but haven't answered this message. Just bumping to make sure. Best wishes, -- How do you turn this on (talk) 15:39, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
- I guess I'll just start working on this, and see how it goes. Nominations open tomorrow, so it would be a good to have a story ready for next Monday. I'll let you know when I'm done. Best wishes, – How do you turn this on (talk) 14:42, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
Signpost?
editHi Ral. I noticed you hadn't edited since October 30, though those edits were part of getting some Signpost pages ready for publication. You said here that you'd been swamped with things lately, so I hope everything is OK. Any updates? Carcharoth (talk) 00:10, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
- Hey Ral. I don't want this to sound rude or anything, but I've left a suggestion here regarding you and the Signpost. Could you check please? – How do you turn this on (talk) 00:26, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
- Hey Ral, I really hope you didn't misinterpret what I wrote on the Signpost talk page. You've been extremely dedicated to it for what, 3 years now? It's not a criticism of you whatsoever. It's just that with your absence, the interest level has gone to basically zero, which is really unfortunate considering the amount of people who read and rely on the Signpost. The new editor suggestion was just so that the Signpost could still be run successfully, even when you are busy with more important things. I hope no offence was caused; as I say, the work you do for it is fantastic. Best wishes, – How do you turn this on (talk) 00:48, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
Are you okay?
editI see you haven't made an edit in awhile. I hope you are okay. Remember (talk) 15:07, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

Formatting?
editI noticed in Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2008-11-08, the first line reads:
{{s-s|{{{1}}}|0|2008-11-08|From the editor|From the editor}}
I think this should read
{{s-s|{{{1}}}|1|2008-11-08|From the editor|From the editor}}
and the subsequent rows also incremented accordingly. As it stands, {{Signpost-subscription}} doesn't appear to be displaying correctly. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 01:26, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
Signpost Writing
editHi, I've been seeing your pleas for writers for the signpost for a while now, and have decided to throw my hat, at least partially, into the ring. I've been around Wikipedia for a while, and can probably write about most things if I know where to go for sources. Please be aware that I have my own hectic schedule to deal with, so I can't take on a set, weekly commitment. However, just drop a note on my talk page telling me what I can do to help, and I will try to do it. Thanks,--Danaman5 (talk) 06:42, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
