==GA Sweeps July update==
Thanks to everyone's dedicated efforts to the GA Sweeps process, a total of [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/Project quality task force/Sweeps/Running total#Progress on reassessed articles|'''290''' articles were swept in June]]! Last month was our second most successful month in reviewing articles (after May). We are currently over 70% done with Sweeps, with just under 800 articles left to review. With nearly 50 members, that averages out to about '''15 articles per person'''. If each member reviews an article every other day this month (or several!), we'll be completely finished. This may sound difficult, but if everyone completes their reviews, Sweeps would be completed in less than two years when we first started (with only four members!). With the conclusion of Sweeps, each editor could spend more time writing GAs, reviewing at the backlogged GAN, or focusing on other GARs. Again, I want to thank you for using your time to ensure the quality of the older GAs. Feel free to recruit other editors who have reviewed GANs in the past and might be interested in the process. The more editors, the less the workload, and hopefully the faster this will be completed. If you have any questions about reviews or the process let me know and I'll be happy to get back to you. Again, thank you for taking the time to help with the process, I appreciate your efforts! --Happy editing!

== Your whining and bitching ==

Hey, buttboy! Why do you keep complaining about valid edits, and relevant information? Why don't you just leave the facts well enough alone? You are the kind of guy who gives wikipedia a bad name! So just stop being such a whiny little girl. [[User:MoeColemanFan|MoeColemanFan]] ([[User talk:MoeColemanFan|talk]]) 07:18, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

I've published the work I've been able to do so far and there are a lot of improvements which can be made in future though for whenever you decide to pick up the project. Afkatk (talk) 08:49, 6 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

GA Sweeps update

Hello, I hope you are doing well. I am contacting you because you have contributed or expressed interest in the GA sweeps process. Last month, only two articles were reviewed. This is definitely a low point after our peak at the beginning of the process with 163 articles reviewed in September 2007. After nearly two years, the running total has just passed the 50% mark. In order to expediate the reviewing, several changes have been made to the process. A new worklist has been created, detailing which articles are left to review. All exempt and previously reviewed articles have already been removed from the list. Instead of reviewing by topic, you can consider picking and choosing whichever articles interest you.

All exempt articles that have reached FA status have now been moved to a separate section at the end of the running total page. I went through all of the members' running totals and updated the results to reflect the move. As a result your reviewed article total may have decreased a bit. After removing duplicate articles and these FAs, the running total leaves us at ~1,400 out of 2,808 articles reviewed.

If you currently have any articles on hold or at GAR, please consider concluding those reviews and updating your results. I'm hoping that this new list and increased efforts can help us to increase the number of reviews. We are always looking for new members to assist with the remaining articles, so if you know of anybody that can assist please direct them to the GA sweeps page. In addition, for every member that reviews 100 articles or has a significant impact on the process, will get an award when they reach that mark. If only 14 editors achieve this feat starting now, we would be done with Sweeps! Of course, having more people reviewing less articles would be better for all involved, so please consider asking others to help out. If you have any questions about the process, reviewing, or need help with a particular article, please contact me or OhanaUnited and we'll be happy to help. --Happy editing!

Hall of fame help

I would love to help out, but I am on vacation right now and do not have the books with me. the sources for their real names should be on the article for each of them, it is the Hall of Fame tag team book. I cannot help you with the titles right now I am afraid. MPJ-DK (talk) 18:22, 10 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for John McMahon (wrestler)

Updated DYK query On May 12, 2009, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article John McMahon (wrestler), which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Stub reduction drive

The Working Man's Barnstar
For all your hard work in tirelessly chivvying the rest of us to do something about the stubs, and organising the stub drive! ♥NiciVampireHeart07:53, 14 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with Nici as well.--WillC 08:55, 14 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Hey can you come up a good DYK for this (still underconstruction) because I can't?--WillC 06:34, 15 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Idea

Have you ever thought of moving the title history of the IWGP Heavyweight Championship to a list and then expanding the championship article to GA?--WillC 04:17, 17 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Reference 206, has nothing in it, I don't know what you were planning to put in there but I thought I might let you know it's an empty ref. Afkatk (talk) 10:49, 22 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Your comments at the above FLC have been addressed.--WillC 04:50, 31 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

GA Sweeps June update

Thanks to everyone's dedicated efforts to the GA Sweeps process, a total of 396 articles were swept in May! That more than doubles our most successful month of 163 swept articles in September 2007 (and the 2 articles swept in April)! I plan to be sending out updates at the beginning of each month detailing any changes, updates, or other news until Sweeps are completed. So if you get sick of me, keep reviewing articles so we can be done (and then maybe you'll just occasionally bump into me). We are currently over 60% done with Sweeps, with just over a 1,000 articles left to review. With over 40 members, that averages out to about 24 articles per person. If each member reviews an article a day this month (or several!), we'll be completely finished. I know that may be asking for a lot, but it would allow us to complete Sweeps and allow you to spend more time writing GAs, reviewing GANs, or focusing on other GARs (or whatever else it is you do to improve Wikipedia) as well as finish ahead of the two-year mark coming up in August. I recognize that this can be a difficult process at times and appreciate your tenacity in spending time in ensuring the quality of the older GAs. Feel free to recruit other editors who have reviewed GANs in the past and might be interested in the process. The more editors, the less the workload, and hopefully the faster this will be completed. If you have any questions about reviews or the process let me know and I'll be happy to get back to you. Again, thank you for taking the time to help with the process, I appreciate your efforts! --Happy editing! Nehrams2020 (talkcontrib) 18:02, 1 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

County Route 236 (Onondaga County, New York), which you passed as a good article, has been nominated for deletion. If you would like to participate in the discussion, please comment at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/County Route 236 (Onondaga County, New York). Cunard (talk) 17:12, 18 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Consensus was to delete. Cirt (talk) 11:05, 22 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'll think it over. One option would be for me to restart a new AfD, as you suggested in the bottom comment at the AfD page. Would that be alright with you? Cirt (talk) 16:29, 22 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Question

What is it between you and User:ECW500? Everytime he creates a supposed sock, he leaves a message on this page about Fruity Pepples. It is weird.--WillC 15:29, 23 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well we have something is common, I'm now one of his targets. I feel so loved. He seems to have alot. from looking at his latest sock edits.--WillC 04:21, 24 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It's not a problem at all, I'm just sorry I forgot about it and hey anything for someone who actually works constructively on improving wrestling articles, big thumbs up for that :) that article is very interesting and you've pointed me towards a new potential source. My hope is to get all the Kangaroo related article up to at least GA but I've been struggling on Heffernan as I have practially nothing on his non-kangaroo career or private life.

Report

Your conduct has been reported to WP:ANI. TaintedZebra (talk) 06:37, 30 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Re the above ANI. Thank you for bringing the "recruiting" issue to our attention. As a friendly observation, when you are the subject of an ANI it is best to not make commentary, as it often only inflames the matter. If there is something you wish the admins to look at (as in this case), please just speak to us and not to the disputing party. Regards Manning (talk) 06:59, 30 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
