AFC News
We are nine days away from the end of the drive, and it's been fantastic! Many, many, many days of backlog have been tackled, and over 1500 articles reviewed!
To start off, a HUGE THANKS to everyone who helped out with the coordination of the drive, and actually fighting the backlog in the drive itself. Everyone's done a great job helping out, no matter how many articles you've reviewed/
Remember to update your running total, on the drive page. This is the ONLY way that I will be able to give out awards appropriately.
Lastly, I will be giving out awards on August 16th. Anyone who could help me, that would be fantastic. Contact me on my talk page if you'd like to volunteer.
Great job, everyone! This Drive has been fantastic, and I'm sure that some members of the Project have definitely made friends by collaborating on the talk pages. Thanks,
GrooveDog.

Alberto Blanco, Mexican poet entry
Thank you for your advice. I have worked diligently (as a first-time wikipedian) to make Blanco's entry meet the standards of wikipedia. My problem now (but there may be others although I took care of the disambiguation issue and I worked on references)...is posting a photo/image. My sense from bouncing from link to link is that I need to establish an account with the wikimedia commons and then upload an appropriate image there to later be moved over to the Blanco page??? I have a photo but I did not take it; the photographer wants credit (not on Blanco's page, but in the Wiki commons.) I am not sure how to proceed. I guess the worst case scenario would be that the photo is rejected. I am not in the position to fly to Mexico City to take photos of Senor Blanco (aka no funds). My connection to his work has been as a literary translator (aka impoverished.)
Again, thanks for your first words of wisdom (even if a lot was boiler-plate), and, if you can, let me know this: HOW HARD should it be to upload to a photo to a page? Am I just getting too uptight about the wiki-rules? I mean, are there people who do this in just a matter of minutes?
Thank you, expert, Millerowski (talk) 00:37, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
Neutralisation
I have balanced out discussion on Chilean Australian so go to the talkpage and view my comments please. Thankyou TeePee-20.7 (talk) 16:25, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
Chilean-Australian. Resolution sought
ATTN: PelleSmith, Pippu d'angelo, Itsmejudith, Blnguyen, Angusmclellan, Conman, SQL, Ned Scott and AussieLegend
I think it is in all our interests that we resolve the debate on the cited number of Chilean-Australians.
TeePee and myself have presented our arguments and rebuttals for some days now.
I thank you for your attention to the issues, and especially for bearing with us in this challenging debate. While I can not speak for TeePee, I would assume he is equally grateful.
But now is the time to get this debate finally finished.
I have drafted a comprimise version here (15:58, 17 May 2008 ) which provides references to the Jupp 2001 estimate and the ABS 2006 ancestry estimate, with caveats attached which explain their respective difficiencies.
Now I respectfully ask if you could pass judgement on my text for this version, with a support or oppose provided on Talk:Chilean Australian. If you have not responded by 20 May I will presume you have elected not to take part.
I myself, and I would hope and expect TeePee, will abide by your ruling.
Thank you. Kransky (talk) 16:36, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
- "Although I do think it is in all our interest that we resolve the debate, I still think there are some issues needed to be addressed. I am equally as grateful as Kransky for all your time and effort but do not agree with his revision especially since it still contains information which has been referenced by an invalid reference which has been the major issues I have had with him throughout the whole history of this article. My version here provides references to the Embassy 2006 estimate and the ABS 2006 ancestory estimate. I respectfully ask you view my edit first as I asked first and tell me what problems you have with it before viewing Kransky's revision. (This was the terms I agreed to Kransky before promising I would not revert your revision, as you did not respect my request and want your revision to be viewed first I do not see why I should respect your request and let the article remain in it's current revision especially since you have provided that invalid reference which you have been doing for months). Thankyou TeePee-20.7 (talk) 17:21, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
A Suggestion
I think you need to add a "This user has no understanding of elementary school mathematics" userbox on your user page. 100 x 0 = 100? Really now.
