Invitation to participate in the Content review workshop

Hello Happy-melon. I've noticed the excellent work that you and a few others have been doing recently to streamline and update processes at the LoCE, and the dedication you have shown to improving article quality. As a result I would like to invite you to participate in a workshop that is currently underway.

From the main page there: The Content review workshop is intended to evaluate the various Wikipedia processes that assess and improve content. It seeks to clarify means and methods, reduce procedural overhead, and better attune processes outside of the mainspace with improvements in the mainspace. In essence, we are looking to overhaul what needs to be overhauled in order to meet the challenges and demands most article-quality processes are facing given Wikipedia's rapid and continued expansion. Although the LoCE is not a review process, it is intimately involved with article quality, and we believe some of its more experienced and active members would be a valuable addition to the workshop (I have also issued this invitation to Unimaginative Username and Galena11).

If you are interested, please take a look at the workshop scope on the front page then feel free to just drop in on the talk page and join the discussions there: having already examined the Peer Review process, we are currently taking a straw-poll as to the next topic to discuss. The list of subjects is at the bottom of the talk page here, but your input anywhere would be very welcome ;)

All the best, EyeSerene^TALK 16:04, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Template:Copyedit progress/Base

How is this page supposed to work? I have added a total element but hope I 'm not breaking anything. Is it meant as a feed to Template:Copyedit progress. In which case I con't see how that happens. :: Kevinalewis : ^{(Talk Page)}/_(Desk) 16:56, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

Make my (birth)day?

I was looking over possible adopters, because I am a poor lost newbie. I saw you have a Wikimarkup userbox, and was filled with hope that you can help me comprehend this strange new language. I love to read and write, but am intimidated doing it in this format. Finally, I noticed that you are returning to the land of wiki on December 13...my birthday! It would be quite a fine gift to find that you had visited my usertalk page and said hello, and even nicer if you would take me as your protoge. SkyllaLaFey (talk) 04:09, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

Template idea

Hi, welcome back! Hope your break was pleasant. Here's an idea... OK, I know nothing about template coding, but from seeing what you've done, this should be easy: A counter, similar to a page-hit counter on a web site, at the top of the Request page, the Project page, and possible other LoCE-related pages, displaying:

"Copy-editing by the League of Copy-Editors has helped xxxx (number) articles to become Featured Articles, and yyyy (number) articles to become Good Articles. If you, or someone you know, would be a good copy-editor, help out! (link to Join page).

Should be easy: Scrape the FA or GA status from an article, scrape for a LoCE tag. If present, compare and make sure that the GA/FA date is subsequent to the CE date (possibly within some specified limit, say, three months or six months or something). If yes, the counter moves up by one number. Might be good publicity for the League and encourage others to join, by showing that this is a Project that produces tangible results.

Welcome!

Hello, and welcome to WikiProject Musical Theatre!

Thank you for adding your name to our project membership list! Our goal is to make Wikipedia the foremost compendium of musical theatre to be found on the internet: hope you're up to the challenge! As a project member, you might like to add the project membership userbox to your user page, and maybe introduce yourself on our talk page.

If you haven't done so already, please add our main project page to your watchlist and perhaps browse our page of useful templates. When you have a moment, please take some time to review the article structure for musicals, which, after months of collaboration, consensus has decided as the best structure for articles on musicals. If you're curious about where to start, we've gathered a few suggestions in the Project to do list and in our tasklist.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask on the project talk page or on my talk page. Again, welcome and happy editing!

Signature

I've noticed LOCE pages have a problem with it. Interestingly, the problem doesn't go away even if I change my sig to plain one, the text seems to be corrupted even afterwards. On the bright side, I have not seen this problem outside LOCE, so it is more likely that the unique design of those pages is the problem, not my sig.-- _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk} 18:44, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
