Bounty Board

Greetings. You've recently been involved with working on get articles up to featured status, so I wanted to let you know about a new page, Wikipedia:Bounty board. People have put up monetary bounties for certain articles reaching featured status - if the article makes it, the bounty lister donates the stated amount of money to the Wikimedia Foundation. So you can work on making articles featured, and donate other people's money at the same time. If this sounds interesting, I hope you stop by. – Quadell ^{(talk) (bounties)} 22:20, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

Edit summary

When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labelled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:

The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

When you leave the edit summary blank, some of your edits could be mistaken for vandalism and may be reverted, so please always briefly summarize your edits, especially when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 03:05, 7 November 2005 (UTC)

Barnstar #2

Tarret, thanks so much! It's nice to be appreciated! Although I have to admit that I have not been nearly as active as my colleagues; they have been the ones who deserve the main credit. I've been pitching in where I can, but it is they who have really been responsible for bringing all these medical articles to featured status. Still, I'll keep doing what I can! — Knowledge Seeker দ 03:42, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

Community Portal colors

Do you have some suggestions for colors for Draft1a? Can you show me the colors you'd prefer, or provide links to them? --Go for it! 00:01, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

Open tasks template

Hi Tarret, I was delighted to see that good article open tasks template on your talk page! I wondered whether anyone would use it :) The biggest thing that was worrying me is it could get out of date quite quickly (well, I am sure the "sweeping" section won't, but some of the reviews and the nominations queue might!) My hope is that if a couple of people are using it, it won't be so hard to keep it up to date. It's pretty easy to edit, if you clear a task from it (or realise someone else has, or want to record the fact the queue is getting pretty long) you just need to click the "edit" button in the bottom right. Hope it's useful: enjoy! TheGrappler 02:31, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

Nice changes! I think the sweep list is now in a better place, and the automatic updating of the current collaboration is very nifty. Thanks! TheGrappler 22:43, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

{{GA}}

I see you went ahead and changed it! I'll take that as a sign of support then :) Would you mind making a statement to that effect at the Wikipedia talk:Good articles#Alternative template proposal (as per Worldtraveller) page, so it doesn't look like I did it unilaterally :p I'll change (but not deprecate) the other templates too, I think.
