User talk:Strikerforce

This is a Wikipedia user talk page.
This is not an encyclopedia article or the talk page for an encyclopedia article. If you find this page on any site other than Wikipedia, you are viewing a mirror site. Be aware that the page may be outdated and that the user whom this page is about may have no personal affiliation with any site other than Wikipedia. The original talk page is located at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Strikerforce.

Welcome to my talk page! Here are a few things that you might want to be aware of, prior to beginning a new thread:

I am not an Administrator, so I did not delete your page, nor do I have the power to do so. If I have tagged your page as a CSD or PROD and you would like to know why, I can provide you with an answer. However, I do not have the power to retrieve your page, if it has been deleted.
I prefer to keep all communication in one place. If I posted on your talk page, please feel free to leave a {{tb}} that directs me to your page, but please respond as you see fit on your page, rather than mine. The odds are pretty good, though, that if I have posted on your talk page, I have placed it on my watchlist, so if you have responded, I'll likely be around shortly.
Please remember to sign any comments left on this page by placing ~~~~ at the end of your comment.
While Wikipedia itself is not censored, I do not appreciate profane language of any kind on my talk page. I reserve the right to remove any comment containing profanity once I have reviewed the comment and acted upon it as needed.
As noted below, my talk page is watched by a few nice folks. In regard to issues of policy here on Wikipedia, any response by a talk page stalker may be considered as good as coming from me personally. Outside of policy questions, I appreciate their opinions, but please wait for a response from me.
While my edit count (currently in the neighborhood of 7000) may not be indicative of it, I have been around Wikipedia for over ten years now. As such, I would prefer not to be templated. If I have made an error that normally bring out a template, I would ask that you take the time to write a personal comment, rather than the alternative. In asking, I explicitly agree to extend the same courtesy to others.
My talk page is bot archived on a regular basis. Previous discussions may be found in the archive here.

This user talk page might be watched by friendly talk page stalkers, which means that someone other than me might reply to your query. Their input is welcome and their help with messages that I cannot reply to quickly is appreciated.

NPR Newsletter No.15 16 November 2018

Chart of the New Pages Patrol backlog for the past 6 months.

Hello Strikerforce,

Community Wishlist Survey – NPP needs you – Vote NOW

Community Wishlist Voting takes place 16 to 30 November for the Page Curation and New Pages Feed improvements, and other software requests. The NPP community is hoping for a good turnout in support of the requests to Santa for the tools we need. This is very important as we have been asking the Foundation for these upgrades for 4 years.

If this proposal does not make it into the top ten, it is likely that the tools will be given no support at all for the foreseeable future. So please put in a vote today.

We are counting on significant support not only from our own ranks, but from everyone who is concerned with maintaining a Wikipedia that is free of vandalism, promotion, flagrant financial exploitation and other pollution.

With all 650 reviewers voting for these urgently needed improvements, our requests would be unlikely to fail. See also The Signpost Special report: 'NPP: This could be heaven or this could be hell for new users – and for the reviewers', and if you are not sure what the wish list is all about, take a sneak peek at an article in this month's upcoming issue of The Signpost which unfortunately due to staff holidays and an impending US holiday will probably not be published until after voting has closed.

Go here to remove your name if you wish to opt-out of future mailings. — Insertcleverphrasehere ^{(or here)}18:37, 16 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

ITN recognition for Stephen Hillenburg

Thanks

Thanks a lot for keeping a close eye on Ryan Day. Vjmlhds (and a few others) are apparently having a hard time being patient and waiting until after the Rose Bowl to make those changes. It would be great if you could also watch Ohio State Buckeyes football and Urban Meyer for similar changes by impatient editors. 2605:A000:FFC0:D8:3059:8016:5847:3E43 (talk) 18:36, 4 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
