A-class review for Boeing 757

Greetings Nathan2055, and thanks again for handling the GA review of Boeing 757. I have since requested an A-class review of the article, both as a prelude to FAC and because it has been expanded since. As a previous reviewer of the article, and a member of the Guild of Copy-Editors, I thought you might be interested in adding your expertise to this review. If you have the time to provide any input, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, SynergyStar (talk) 19:38, 7 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again, I was wondering if you have had time to consider this request? It would be great to have a skilled copyeditor take a look. Thanks SynergyStar (talk) 19:01, 11 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'm very sorry about the delay. I've been very busy in real life. Anyway, I'm about to give this a look right now. Thanks, Nathan2055 ^talk 16:05, 13 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Re: User talk:Pinktulle#Articles for creation/Lower extremity injuries in ballet dancers

I posted a reply to your comment on my talk page (Articles for creation/Lower extremity injuries in ballet dancers). Thanks! (Pinktulle (talk) 18:32, 10 May 2012 (UTC))[reply]

Excuse me, but where is the reply? --Nathan2055 ^talk 15:12, 11 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I must have put it in the wrong place... still figuring out this whole talk page thing. Where do I need to put my response and how? Thanks! (Pinktulle (talk) 15:31, 11 May 2012 (UTC))[reply]

You said you put it on your talk page at User talk:Pinktulle. To make things easier, you can just put it here on my talk. If you need any help with learning how to use talk pages, see WP:TALK. Thanks, Nathan2055 ^talk 15:35, 11 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, great. Here is what I posted... I've added a few more references to further support the verifiability of this entry. As for your comment about integrating this material into the Ballet page, I personally don't feel that would be an appropriate place because the ballet page is set-up to present more of a historical perspective of the artform, whereas my entry is much more scientific. I have yet to find an article on Wikipedia that discusses science and physiology with relation ballet, which was my goal with this entry. I'd like to continue to edit and resubmit for review, so please let me know if you have any specific suggestions and/or improvements. Many thanks, (Pinktulle (talk) 15:35, 11 May 2012 (UTC))[reply]

It sounds okay. I'm going to ask some other people about what to do, specifically relating to the title of the article. Please wait a moment. Thanks, Nathan2055 ^talk 15:46, 11 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome templates

Please read a users talk page before templating them with a welcome template. The uers in question User_talk:DJ Mell Starr already has a number of templates, and you placed the template at the end of a current duscussion. Please take more care next time. I have reverted your template action. MrLittleIrish ^(talk) 申 15:13, 11 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The end of current discussion is a template bug that I'm working on fixing. Sorry for the trouble. --Nathan2055 ^talk 15:20, 11 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Shouldn't really have had a template to begin with. If you have a look on the talk page, it's already flooded with templates. MrLittleIrish ^(talk) 申 15:21, 11 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Those were really just notice templates. I was trying to leave a welcome. --Nathan2055 ^talk 15:43, 11 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

New Page Triage prototype released

Hey Nathan2055! We've finally finished the NPT prototype and deployed it on enwiki.

thank you for appreciating me. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Saba irshad (talk • contribs) 16:16, 13 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Your welcome! Just so you know, you should use the "New section link" at the top of talk pages that you should use instead of simply adding your comment to the bottom. You should also sign your comments with ~~~~, this will turn into a link to your user and user talk pages. Thanks again! Nathan2055 ^talk 16:21, 13 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

GOCE May mid-drive newsletter

Guild of Copy Editors May 2012 backlog elimination drive mid-drive newsletter

Participation: Out of 49 people signed up for this drive so far, 26 have copy-edited at least one article. It's a smaller group than last drive, but we're making good progress. If you've signed up but haven't yet copy-edited any articles, please consider doing so. Every bit helps! If you haven't signed up yet, it's not too late. Template:J

Progress report: We're on track to meet our targets for the drive, largely due to the efforts of Lfstevens and the others on the leaderboard. Thanks to all. We have reduced our target group of articles—January, February, and March 2011—by over half, and it looks like we will achieve that goal. Good progress is being made on the overall backlog as well, with over 500 articles copy-edited during the drive so far. The total backlog currently sits at around 3200 articles.

Hall of Fame: GOCE coordinator Diannaa was awarded a spot in the GOCE Hall of Fame this month! She has copy-edited over 1567 articles during these drives, and surpassed the 1,000,000-word mark on May 5. On to the second million! – Your drive coordinators: Dank, Diannaa and Stfg

The Tea Leaf - Issue Three

Hi! Welcome to the third edition of The Tea Leaf, the official newsletter of the Teahouse!

Teahouse reaches two month mark. The Teahouse has been live on English Wikipedia for two months now and evidence of the project's impact is beginning to show. Thank you to the hosts and Wikipedians who have helped make the Teahouse the valuable place for new editor's to seek help and feel welcome.
April metrics report has been posted on meta! Some relevant metrics from April’s report include:

In April, Teahouse averaged 45 questions per week.
An average of 20 new editors visiting for the first time were served at the Teahouse, in addition to repeat guests.

Many guests are repeat visitors: the average guest asks 1.5 questions and 22% of guests ask more than one question.

Reports show that the Teahouse is having a positive impact on editor engagement! Comparing a sample of 75 new editors who participate in the Teahouse with a control group (of equivalent size and similar first-day editing activity) shows:

New editors who participate in the Teahouse edit 10x the number of articles than the uninvited control group.
New editor participants also make an average six times more global edits.
Average Teahouse participants add 26 times more bytes of content that survive on Wikipedia (meaning content that isn't reverted or deleted) than the uninvited control group.

More Teahouse participants remain active on Wikipedia at least 10 days later. Among the 224 editors in our three experimental groups, 28 percent of new editors who participate in the Teahouse were still active on Wikipedia at least ten days later, compared with 12 percent who received an invitation but didn't actively participate in the Teahouse, and only 5 percent from a similar uninvited control group.
Teahouse visibility is a challenge, as we try to make the Teahouse visible to new editors, invitation has been the the main way of informing new editors about the Teahouse, and while that is a powerful tool, many new editors go uninvited. Input on Teahouse link placement is welcome! (Join in on the conversation here.)
Want to know how you can lend a hand at the Teahouse? Become a host! Learn more about what makes the Teahouse different than other help spaces on Wikipedia and see how you can help new editors by visiting here.
Say hello to the new guests at the Teahouse. Take the time to welcome and get to know the latest guests at the Teahouse. Drop off some wikilove to these editors today, as being welcomed by experienced editors is a really nice way to make new editors feel welcome.
