Hi Gonobo,
I am teaching Writing 101 at the University of Montana-Western in Dillon, MT. My students and I are working on a Wikipedia project. Their assignment is to choose a stub to "complete" - they have to write 750-1000 words, with 3-4 sources included, and then try to get it published on Wikipedia.
I am in over my head on this one!
I was wondering if you are available to mentor?
Thanks,
Lisa Bullard

Would you believe...

... that I found a few more lurking in the shadows! If you have time... User:Johnfos/sandbox, In Mortal Hands, Britain, Australia and the Bomb, Solar Energy Perspectives, Deploying Renewables 2011, Climate Change and Global Energy Security, Renewable Energy Sources and Climate Change Mitigation, Nuclear Tipping Point... thank you...

They say patience is a virtue, and you have been very patient with me and my many requests. Please let me know how I can return the favour! Johnfos (talk) 01:57, 26 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
It is my pleasure. Once Clean Tech Nation goes live, I can upload a cover. If you had time and were interested, I would love to see an article for Jay Inslee's book Apollo's Fire. Otherwise, just keep up the good work. Cheers, Gobōnobo + c 02:20, 26 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free media (File:Cheryl Tiegs 1978 poster.jpg)

Thanks for uploading File:Cheryl Tiegs 1978 poster.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Wikipedia Loves Libraries

We're having another event (with an editathon) at Special Collections, on November 3, likely a bigger event than last. It'd be great if you could make it. (See WT:Meetup/Minnesota.) Regards, —innotata 17:56, 1 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

WikiCup 2012 September newsletter

We're over half way through the final, and so it is less than a month until we know for certain our 2012 WikiCup champion. Conradh na Gaeilge Grapple X (submissions) currently leads, followed by Canada Sasata (submissions), Wales Cwmhiraeth (submissions) and Scotland Casliber (submissions). However, we have no one resembling a breakaway leader, and so the competition is a long way from over. Next month's newsletter will feature a list of our winners (who are not necessarily only the finalists) and keep your eyes open for an article on the WikiCup in a future edition of The Signpost. The leaders are already on a par with last year's winners, but a long way from the huge scores seen in 2010. That said, a repeat of the competition from 2010 seems unlikely.

It is good to see that three-quarters of our finalists have already scored bonus points this round. This shows that, contrary to criticism that the WikiCup has received in the past, the competition does not merely incentivise the writing of trivial articles; instead, our top competitors are still spending their time contributing to high-importance articles, and bringing them to a high standard. This does a great service to the encyclopedia and its readers. Thank you, and good work!

The planning for next year's WikiCup is ongoing. Some straw polls have been opened concerning the scoring, and you can now sign up for next year's competition. As ever, if you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

Disambiguation link notification for October 8

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Chris Hansen, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Edward R. Murrow Award (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles.
