Flagging articles for cleanup

To flag an article to be cleaned up, add {{cleanup}} at the top of the page. If only a single section requires cleanup add {{cleanup-section}} in the appropriate section. - Akamad 11:29, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

Actually, if you want to tag the whole article, user {{cleanup-date|[insert month and year here]}}. Eg: {{cleanup-date|February 2006}}. This helps to organise when articles were tagged for cleanup. - Akamad 07:01, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

New Collaboration for Wikipedia:WikiProject Newfoundland and Labrador

A new article SS Florizel of Newfoundland and Labrador context has been created and we invite you to contribute to the article to firstly get it up to DYK status and hopefully to feature article status. The article is about a bit of Newfoundland's marine history and the sinking of the SS Florizel and it’s many passengers including a little girl Betty Munn. If you have any knowledge of the subject please pitch in add/edit and if not specific knowledge of the article if you could help by generating articles on any of the red-ink (wikified) topics, would be great. Thanks so much to help on this article. As a suggestion, maybe every Monday we could offer up a new topic to collaborate on and then pool our talents on that one. Oh and BTW did you catch the article that OzLawyer create on the Newfoundland Tricolour that made it to the Did you know? column on 5 July, 2006.! HJKeats 23:25, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

Thank you! I'm the one who put all those links to "bass" on the opera pages. I thought I fixed them all, but I guess I didn't. Thanks for cleaning up! Dybryd 06:23, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

Hey

Thanks for fixing the link on my user page or, well, at least for the good intentions. If you would have looked more carefully, you would have noticed that all of the links in the 'Watch' section are links to disambiguation pages. From time to time, I check which pages link to them and fix the links. Thank you anyway, and if you need help with any article on classical music, don't hesitate to drop a note on my talk page :) --Missmarple 08:45, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

WikiProject Disambiguation Talk Request

This is a form message being sent to all WikiProject Disambiguation participants. I may have found your page based on your contributions or your link repair user box on your user page. If you are not a member, please consider including your name on the project page. I recently left a proposed banner idea on the WikiProject Disambiguation talk page and I would appreciate any input you could provide. Before it can be approved or denied, I would prefer a lot of feedback from multiple participants in the project. So if you have the time please join in the discussion to help improve the WikiProject. Keep up the good work in link repair and thanks for your time. Nehrams2020 22:49, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

Commons Photos

I have just spend one weeks vacation on the west coast of Newfoundland and photographed quite a bit of the small coastal towns, post offices, lakes and Long Range Mountains. I have started adding the photos to the article List of communities in Newfoundland and Labrador, you can link there from our Wiki article by the same name. I will be adding more later and feel free to use them while expanding the communities articles WayneRay 14:16, 14 August 2007 (UTC)WayneRay

24 and from NL

I wonder if I know who you are... decent chance we may have gone to school together, so I'm interested. Also, graduating from the School of Music, perhaps you know of the scholarship in my fathers name (Carl Morrissey). I'd like to hear from you, if not through my talk page, perhaps via e-mail. Let me know :) --Toxictaru 20:36, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

Disambiguation link fixing one-day contest

I have decided to put on a mini-contest within the November 2013 monthly disambiguation contest, on Saturday, November 23 (UTC). I will personally give a $20 Amazon.com gift card to the disambiguator who fixes the most links on that server-day (see the project page for details on scoring points). Since we are not geared up to do an automated count for that day, at 00:00, 23 November 2013 (UTC) (which is 7:00 PM on November 22, EST), I'll take a screenshot of the project page leaderboard. I will presume that anyone who is not already listed on the leaderboard has precisely nine edits. At 01:00, 24 November 2013 (UTC) (8:00 PM on November 23, EST), I'll take a screenshot of the leaderboard at that time (the extra hour is to give the board time to update), and I will determine from that who our winner is. I will credit links fixed by turning a WP:DABCONCEPT page into an article, but you'll have to let me know me that you did so. Here's to a fun contest. Note that according to the Daily Disambig, we currently have under 256,000 disambiguation links to be fixed. If everyone in the disambiguation link fixers category were to fix 500 links, we would have them all done - so aim high! Cheers! bd2412 T 02:33, 18 November 2013 (UTC)
