Quick question....

Hey... Quick question: What is the code for the ad that stays at the bottom of the computer's screen, like a Wiki ad, but follows your screen? Thanks! --Braniff747SP (talk) 00:25, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Braniff747SP, the code is <div style="position: fixed; right:016px; bottom:0; display:block; height:72px; width:85%; opacity:1"> <center>{{Wikipedia ads|nolinks=yes}}</center></div>. It needs to be placed at the top of the page. I hope this helps. Rock drum Ba-dumCrash 14:39, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.

If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from Nettrom (talk), SuggestBot's caretaker.

P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot (talk) 01:49, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Layout

Hiya Rocky! Just wondering if you can send me the layout for the order form, we'd like to get it up and running soon. P.S.: the idea of a motto shop came from the logo shop, so I'm giving you and your allies the credit for the inspiration! Anyway, yeah, just shoot me the layout and we'll be good! TTFN, Belugaboyhow's my driving? 14:37, 25 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I've set up all of the pages. The ones you need to know about are User:Belugaboy/Motto shop/New which is the template that people put on the talk page, User:Belugaboy/Motto shop/New/Preload which is how it will appear on the talk page, and User:Belugaboy/Motto shop/Mottorequest which is the request template that goes on the main motto shop page. Please feel free to edit them but be careful not to mess it up. Thanks, Rock drum Ba-dumCrash (Review me) 14:51, 25 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to the second issue of The Geocaching WikiProject's newsletter! We hope that this newsletter will help members to find new things to do within the project that they may wish to participate in.

Don't be afraid to suggest ideas through the main newsletter page, or even contribute yourself. It's people's ideas and assistance that make things like this possible. Thanks for being a member of the project and please make sure it continues by being active.

This issue's contributors:

Goals of the Month (Prioritized)

The Project hasn't been really active of late, but to get it back, running again, please feel free to do one of the following:

  1. Inviting Users. Our most important task to complete right now is inviting users. Use this template.
  2. Create Templates. Create any templates you may find useful such as a userbox, etc.
  3. Discuss! PLEASE... discuss things about this project. Socializing is good!

New MDB Feature

Hello! I have just added a new feature to MessageDeliveryBot. It is now possible to have the message delivered on behalf of a WikiProject instead of a specific user. The user who requested the delivery will still be visible in a comment, as well as in the welcome message given to a user if the bot is creating his talk page, however, the bot's edit summary and signature will use the WikiProjects name. To use this new feature, fill in the optional 'WikiProject Name' field when making a request (leave out the Wikipedia: namespace prefix). If this field is left blank, then your username will be used to sign requests, as the bot previously did. Happy editing!

October drive

Sorry, guys. The wikification drive has been bumped to October. You might have noticed already, however. I'm amazed how many people came on as soon as I sent out the invite. With a few more, we can easily meet our goal. Just remember. Concentrate your firepower on the 2008 articles, and you should have no problems. Great work! Also, if you have time, please also invite other users to participate. Thanks!

GOCE newsletter

Greetings from the Guild of Copy Editors Backlog Elimination Drive!
GOCE September 2010 backlog elimination drive progress graphs

Participation report — We have 71 participants in the September drive. 95 people signed up for the July drive, and in May we had 36.

Progress report — We have been making solid progress in eliminating the 2008 articles from the backlog so far. If we continue to focus our firepower we can completely wipe out 2008 from the queue. Overall volumes are lower than expected though, with nearly a thousand articles yet to be done if we are to meet our overall target. If you have not yet participated in the drive, we recommend you do so. If each person who signed up edits one article per day from now till the end of the month we can eliminate another 1,065 articles from the backlog. All contributions are appreciated.

Announcement: credit for 10k+ articles — Participants editing a 10k word article may claim credit for two 5k+ articles on the leaderboard. Those that edit a 15k word article may claim credit for three. Regardless, the article is still counted as a single article in the tallies.

Reminder — Articles from the Requests page can be included in your tally, even if they do not have a copy edit tag. This is a great place to go if you are interested in finding a higher quality article to work on.

This newsletter was prepared for the GOCE by Diannaa (Talk), S Masters (talk),  HELLKNOWZ  ▎TALK, and The Raptor Let's talk.

⚠
⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Cache in Trash out.gif. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

PLEASE NOTE:

  • I am a bot, and will therefore not be able to answer your questions.
  • I will remove the request for deletion if the file is used in an article once again.
  • If you receive this notice after the image is deleted, and you want to restore the image, click here to file an un-delete request.
  • To opt out of these bot messages, add {{bots|deny=DASHBot}} to your talk page.
