Hello there. Since you designed the guestbook list template, you could help me with something. It says to "add your guestbook to the appropriate column". How do I choose which column?

== Adoption == |
|||
Hi '''Jack''', |
|||
I've started to clean up the [[Wikipedia:Adopt-a-User/Adoptee's Area/Adopters|Adopters' list]]. You appear to appear to have been editing only sporadically in the last months. I wonder if you're still interested in adopting new users. If you're not interested any more, would you mind removing yourself? Thank you and happy editing, <i><b>[[User:Snowolf|<font color = "darkmagenta">Snowolf</font>]] <sup><small>[[User talk:Snowolf|<font color = "darkmagenta">How can I help?</font>]]</small></sup></b></i> 11:49, 20 April 2010 (UTC) |
|||
==You've Got Mail== |
|||
... In the pages about your willingness to adopt new editors , you wrote, "I have the greatest experience writing and expanding articles. If you have a topic you would like to research, I can assist you with the process of making it excellent. If you love it and you're willing to work at it, just let me know." Thank you. All of us need to know how to learn, and we mostly need to know to make our own work effective and worthwhile, without relying on others to do our work for us. Helping us learn how to take our own work from good to better, then from better to great, and finally from great to excellent is the essence of being an effective teacher. It's wonderful to know that there are teachers out there, like you, who are willing to spend their time helping the rest of us get up to speed. Kudos! |

Hi Jack, I have no idea whether this message will reach you or not, as I have not used this feature before, but I hope it does. If you follow the link I added to the entry on poetry, you will see that it is to a non-profit, scholarly project with zero cost to users. I added the link to it because I believe it to be of genuine cultural and intellectual interest to readers of the entry on poetry. If you have removed it, I would be grateful if you would change it back. I do not see how you could possibly object to it. |
|||
All best wishes, |

Hi Jack, many thanks for your useful message. I looked through the materials you sent me, and added a new section "external links" to the poetry entry. (I know that Wikipedia does not normally want to function as a repository of external links but in the case of something like poetry links to recordings seem essential to me: people who read the entry will want to know how the poems discussed in it actually sound. I hope that people will add links from many more cultural traditions). |

==Sheffield== |

Hi - thanks for your message, and welcome back. There's no rule as to when "many" can be used in an article and, as you indicate, it can often be superfluous. But, in other uses, it can be important to the meaning of a sentence - for example, "Even by 1981, social polarisation (as defined by the Census and Registrar-General) in Sheffield was far lower than in many other cities...", while not the clearest of sentences, implies something rather different to "Even by 1981, social polarisation (as defined by the Census and Registrar-General) in Sheffield was far lower than in other cities..." - without the "many", to me, it implies "...far lower than in [all] other cities..."

Hi Jack, thanks for your work on the Sheffield article. I was involved in the first FAC, and also in trying to avoid being delisted last year, so I know how much work it is. I'll try to help fix to any problems that are highlighted in the FAC. I'll also have a pre-emptive attempt at fixing the climate section, which is basically a cut/paste job from its source. —[[User:JeremyA|Jeremy]] <small>([[User talk:JeremyA|talk]])</small> 16:24, 17 July 2010 (UTC) |

Article 1.<br> |

Autocephal Orthodox Mitropholy in Principality of Montenegro, as a member of the only holy Catholic and Apostolic Church, of which the |

Sure, I can delete things from your userpage. Do you want to have "true" deletion or just "grayed out" RevDeletion (which is much more common nowadays)? Or does it not matter.

|||
:Okay, I've done it. To be honest, I didn't realize you were looking to have that many diffs deleted, and I thought that using RevDelete for that would draw attention to the deletion, whereas the old-style deletion won't since it's invisible. If you'd like the diffs to be restored and then re-deleted using RevDelete, you can do that, but as above I wouldn't recommend it because people will be always wondering what was there, and would still be able to see the usernames and possibly summaries (depending on what you'd want).

==VPC closures== |
|||
Hi Bydand and thanks for helping out with closing VPCs. Please make sure you go through each step of the [[Wikipedia:Valued picture candidates#Closing procedure|closing procedure]]. Also note that generally is preferrable for candidates to be closed by editors who were not involved in the voting process of the subject image, otherwise the closure can be contested and challenged. Your closure of [[Wikipedia:Valued picture candidates/Wolf Point, Chicago|Wolf Point, Chicago]] was really on the edge, given that you provided the fourth vote necessary for promotion and closed immediately afterwards, and were not following the usual bottom up order. If it was my delay between the stages of the closure of the other 5 images I did in parallel which confused you, I appologize. Any further help with VPC closures will be much welcome. --[[User:Elekhh|Elekhh]] ([[User talk:Elekhh|talk]]) 01:08, 4 August 2010 (UTC) |

: Responding to your questions: I actually did step 5 for you as I was there anyway, but steps 2, 3 and 6 haven't been done yet. The "bottom up" message is [[Wikipedia:Valued picture candidates#Nominations older than 7 days - decision time!|here]] easy to overlook I know. The other rule is an unwritten one, but has been often discussed in both FP (where is applied very strictly) and VP (where due to lack of closers concessions have been made). --[[User:Elekhh|Elekhh]] ([[User talk:Elekhh|talk]]) 01:24, 4 August 2010 (UTC) |

== [[Wikipedia:Adopt-a-User|Adopt-a-user]] reminder == |
|||
Hello, I have completed a general cleanup of the adopter information page for the adopt-a-user project, located [[Wikipedia:Adopt-a-User/Adoptee's_Area/Adopters|here]]. During my cleanup, I have removed several inactive and retired users. In order to provide interested adoptees with an easy location to find adopters, it is essential that the page be up-to-date with the latest information possible. Thus: |
|||
* If you are no longer interested in being an adopter, please remove yourself from the list. |
|||
* If you are still interested, please check the list to see if any information needs to be updated or added - especially your availability. Thank you. |
|||
* You are receiving this message because you are listed as an adopter [[Wikipedia:Adopt-a-User/Adoptee's_Area/Adopters|here]]. |

== An update from [[Wikipedia:Adopt-a-User|adopt a user]] == |
|||
Hi there {{BASEPAGENAME}}! You may be wondering, what have I done to sound the [[User:Netalarm|alarm]] this time? Nothing. I'm messaging you in regards to the adopt-a-user program, which currently has a backlog of users wishing to be adopted. This doesn't make much sense, as we have a considerable list of users offer adoption, so there shouldn't be any backlog. I've begun to eliminate this backlog myself through [[User:Netalarm/Survey|a matching program]], but I need '''your''' help to make it work. Of course, adoptees and adopters don't have to go through there, but I believe it helps eliminate the backlog because someone is actively matching pairs. |
|||
On the [[Wikipedia:Adopt-a-User/Adoptee's_Area/Adopters|list of adopters]], I have modified the middle column to say "Interests." It's easier working with other users that have similar interests, so if it's not too much to ask, could you add your interests in the middle column? For example, if I was interested in hurricanes, computers, business, and ... reptiles? I would place those in the middle column. Counter-vandalism and the like can also be included (maintenance should be used as the general term). The more interests, the better, since adoptees can learn more about you and choose the one they feel most comfortable working with. The information about when you're most active and other stuff can go into the "Notes" section to the right. |
|||
Finally, I've gone around and asked adoptees (and will in the future) to fill in a short survey so adopters can take the initiative and contact users they feel comfortable working with. We all know that most adoptees just place the adopt me template on their user page and leave it - so it's up to us to approach them and offer adoption. So, please take a look at [[User:Netalarm/Survey|the survey]], adopt those that fit your interests, and maybe watchlist it so you can see the interests of adoptees and adopt one that fits your interests in the future. |
|||
Once again, thank you for participating in the adopt-a-user program! If you wish to respond to this post, please message me on my talk page. |

== Your edit on the [[Sheffield]] page == |
|||
Hi there, just a quick hello, and asking why you reverted the updated skyline photo at [[Sheffield#Geography]]. You indicated in the edit summary that I had removed a 'valued picture', and sent me to the [[WP:VP|Village Pump]]. Whist it make me very proud that you (or a consensus of fellow wiki-ers) regard the old photo, taken by [[:file:Sheffield_wide_from_Meersbrook_Park.jpg|myself]], as 'valued', I could find no mention of this category at the Village Pump, only the [[WP:VALUED]] project, which has since been shut down. Is there a new classification system for photographs of which I am unaware? |
|||
Irrespective, the reason I altered the picture was that my previous shot is ridiculously out-of-date. It is missing two of Sheffield's three tallest towers, and shows the second-tallest tower before the reclad was started (which is complete in the newer image). |
|||
I would like to revert to return the far more up-to-date photo.
