Re: Feedback Dashboard
Hi Gold Standard, It's not a problem at all to contact me on my talk page. If you saw that I cleaned my talk page, that does not mean I think you are bothering me. Feel free to contact me anytime. About the Feedback Dashboard, it's a bit hard to answer thousands of feedback's everyday by yourself. SwisterTwister also does a very good job answering needy feedbacks, but sadly there is a bug that makes user's unable to reply to feedback's very quickly. It becomes sometimes tedious and redundant, as I feel a bot should answer some of these feedbacks. I can't investigate every user's talk page/contributions when they post a feedback. But I guess "it is, what it is.". As I will try to investigate as much as I can, thank you. Cheers! ---Webclient101 (talk) 20:03, 30 July 2012 (UTC)
- Hello Webclient101,
- I understand your concern with responding to feedback being tedious and redundant, but please note that it would probably be more beneficial to the Feedback Dashboard project if you do investigate every user's talk page/contributions, even if it means you respond to less feedback. Also, please remember that helping is volutary, so don't feel pressure to respond to every bit of feedback if it means you're not checking contribs and talk pages.
- Thanks, Gold Standard 20:25, 30 July 2012 (UTC)
Nomination of Interlibertarians for deletion
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Interlibertarians is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Interlibertarians until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. DGG ( talk ) 16:08, 5 August 2012 (UTC)

Any updates on images?
Any success with the Washington picture project? --Philosopher Let us reason together. 06:22, 14 August 2012 (UTC)
- Their lawyers are currently evaluating the licenses and determining how to release the images. Thus, I am still awaiting a final email. I have considered sending an email requesting the status of the request I made, but the email operator that I contacted at the Washington State Legislative Information Center did say that they would contact me as soon as they heard anything from the lawyers. Gold Standard 00:35, 15 August 2012 (UTC)
- Okay, thanks for the update! Hope it all works out! --Philosopher Let us reason together. 22:33, 15 August 2012 (UTC)
AFC Backlog
Articles for Creation urgently 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 1686 submissions waiting to be reviewed and many help requests at our Help Desk.
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.
We would greatly appreciate your help. Currently, only a small handful of users are reviewing articles. Any help, even if it's just 2 or 3 reviews, it would be extremely beneficial. |

Ban User:Rollosmokes?
After going through a nasty time with User:DreamMcQueen (see my talk page and edit history), it has come to my attention that he is a sockpuppet of User:Rollosmokes. A lengthy review of edits and cases has led me to determine that he should be banned from the Wikipedia all at once. I'm sending you this message because of my personal feelings that I have been abused very harshly by him and is seeking full procedures to ensure all articles within the scope of WP:TVS. I am asking for your opinions on this manoeuvre, which I believe may not be necessary, or should be reduced to simply a topic ban. Please respond here and inform me via my talk page. Note this message has been sent to two other users as well. Thank you! Fairly OddParents Freak (Fairlyoddparents1234) 16:46, 8 September 2012 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Steve Conway State Senator.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Steve Conway State Senator.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.
If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
- make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
- Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.
If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en wikimedia.org.
If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 10:15, 29 September 2012 (UTC)
AfC
I've accepted Anthony N. Michel. At the time you first declined it for not showing notability, and also the second time, there was already sufficient sourced material in the article to fully prove notability according to WP:PROF. It already contained a reference to a festschrift in his honor, and his fellowship in the IEEE, and his holding a named professorship at Notre Dame, and his publications--any of the four would be sufficient. Please review the criteria there before you work on any more academic bios.
You also commented about not using WP as a reference--which is certainly true, but the new editor merely used references where he should have just used links. The true references were always there. This sort of trivial error is not a reason for rejection, but for making the minor fix, either yourself, or by asking the editor to do it. Articles do not have to be perfect to be accepted.

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.
