The Wikipedia Library: New Account Coordinators Needed
Hi Books & Bytes recipients: The Wikipedia Library has been expanding rapidly and we need some help! We currently have 10 signups for free account access open and several more in the works... In order to help with those signups, distribute access codes, and manage accounts we'll need 2-3 more Account Coordinators.
It takes about an hour to get up and running and then only takes a couple hours per week, flexible depending upon your schedule and routine. If you're interested in helping out, please drop a note in the next week at my talk page or shoot me an email at: jorlowitz
gmail.com. Thanks and cheers, Jake Ocaasi via MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 23:41, 20 June 2014 (UTC)
Citespam
Hi I have just read your message without noticing it for months.
If you are wondering why I just reverted a bunch of your edits you may want to read this link. --CutOffTies (talk) 01:36, 27 March 2014 (UTC)
I was not aware that it was considered spam to help add links to certain musicians pages and albums since the site I was citing had information on the subjects. What do you recommend? Thanks for making me aware of this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gtmo (talk • contribs) 18:25, 7 July 2014 (UTC)
Soliciting comment...
Hi! Would you care to review my FA nomination for the article Of Human Feelings? The article is about a jazz album by Ornette Coleman, and the criteria for FA articles is at WP:FACR. If not, feel free to ignore this message. Cheers! Dan56 (talk) 06:43, 21 July 2014 (UTC)

Cal Ripken, Sr.
I will be very busy next week, so I would like to have the Ripken Sr. review finished this week, if that is all right with you. If there is more work to be done, it will be easier for me to get around to it this week. Thank you for reviewing it, by the way! Oriolesfan8 (talk) 14:16, 7 August 2014 (UTC)
- Oh, I was waiting for your replies to my suggested edits. --CutOffTies (talk) 23:21, 7 August 2014 (UTC)
- Oh, sorry. I believe I made all the changes you suggested, which is why I didn't reply. I probably should have done so, though. Oriolesfan8 (talk) 10:56, 8 August 2014 (UTC)
- I apologize. I didn't realize you made the updates. I will look at the article one more time and then begin the review. --CutOffTies (talk) 08:14, 9 August 2014 (UTC)

List of fatal bear attacks
Over at NORB (see also this section), there's been some significant discussion about the inclusion of summary tables and maps into disparately sourced lists like List of fatal bear attacks in North America, as well as some movement towards excising some of these lists entirely as WP:OR. Here is a permalink to the current version since this page is archived frequently.
There's a pretty clear consensus that these summary tables and maps are OR and should be removed, with only Chrisrus arguing for their inclusion. Since you are listed as a main editor on List of fatal bear attacks in North America, I thought you'd want to weigh in, either at NORB or on the talk page there.0x0077BE [talk/contrib] 14:20, 10 August 2014 (UTC)
- Thank you for letting me know. I don't have anything to add to the debate right now, but if there are any questions about the history of the article that I can clarify, let me know. Thanks --CutOffTies (talk) 23:35, 10 August 2014 (UTC)
