Please note that Proposal 2 has been withdrawn and no further comments are needed. Also, please disregard Proposal 9 as it was never an actual proposal.

List of Chinese Inventions, Crossbow[edit]

Hi!

I wasn't trying to remove the info about Ancient Greece. The section began by mentioning Greek crossbows, and ended that way too; I only deleted the first two sentences. I'm totally cool with the whole contemporary-civilization-comparison thing, but surely that shouldn't be the subject of the first two sentences, and surely it doesn't need to be mentioned twice?

Mespotamia[edit]

According to the Mesopotamia#Etymology section referenced by [6]:

A further distinction is usually made between Upper or Northern Mesopotamia and Lower or Southern Mesopotamia.

I did add a page number for the 1st reference,"Who Were The Babylonians?". Bill T. Arnold. 2004. pp. 2.

Quote: as well as for the greater region of southern Mesopotamia in what is today southern Iraq, Kuwait and parts of western Iran.

I couldn't find a page number for the 2nd reference, however scroll down the link: ''Lower Mesopotamia consists of modern-day southern Iraq and portions of Kuwait and southwestern Iran near the city of Ahvaz....

It currently says Lower Mesopotamia is the area from Baghdad to the Persian Gulf.[6] The area from Baghdad to the Persian Gulf is a bit ambiguous. Agrso (talk) 03:59, 12 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Agrso,

Thanks for your message. I'll look into those sources and get back to you within a day and we can go from there. My main objection is that while there are very small parts of Kuwait that had traces of Meso culture, academically I have never seen Kuwait included when talking about the ancient civilization.

Hi, alright thanks. Agrso (talk) 04:35, 14 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

GAN December 2013 Backlog Drive[edit]

Hello! A GAN Backlog Drive will begin in less than 4 days!

In past Backlog Drives, the goal was to reduce the backlog of Good article nominations. In the upcoming drive, another goal will be added - raising as much money as we can for the Wikimedia Foundation. How will this work? Well, its pretty simple. Any user interested in donating can submit a pledge at the Backlog Drive page (linked above). The pledge should mention the amount of money the user is willing to donate per review. For example, if a user pledges 5 cents per review and 100 nominations are reviewed, the total donation amount is $5.00.

At the time this message was sent out, two users have submitted pledges for a total of 8 cents per review. All pledges, no matter how much money, are greatly appreciated. Also, in no way is this saying you must make a pledge.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact me or leave a message on the Backlog Drive talk page. And remember, there are less than 4 days before the drive starts!--EdwardsBot (talk) 03:11, 27 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

GAN December 2013 Backlog Drive[edit]

Hello! Just a friendly reminder that the GAN Backlog Drive has begun and will end on December 31, 2013!

If you have any questions or want to comment about something regarding the drive, post them here--EdwardsBot (talk) 00:05, 3 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I would advise you to cease the ad hominem attacks immediately, User:Aua. I am attacking your stated position of wanting to deny Ethiopia's most important cultural contributions, you take a look at the things Ethiopians say they are proudest of and it is Coffee and the Queen of Sheba so naturally that is exactly what Ethiopia's detractors want to go for in an attempt to deny or rob her culture. To suggest that Ethiopian viewpoints are insignificant to Ethiopian culture and non-Ethiopian sources must be relied on as superior reeks of Systemic Bias. You have responded by attacking me as an editor, not my argument, by merely accusing me of being a vandal, which you know is false, and of "harassing" kendite with a 3RR message, which you know is false, simply because I disagree with you about effacing articles important in Ethiopian culture.

Formal mediation has been requested[edit]

The Mediation Committee has received a request for formal mediation of the dispute relating to "Black Egyptian Hypothesis". As an editor concerned in this dispute, you are invited to participate in the mediation. Mediation is a voluntary process which resolves a dispute over article content by facilitation, consensus-building, and compromise among the involved editors. After reviewing the request page, the formal mediation policy, and the guide to formal mediation, please indicate in the "party agreement" section whether you agree to participate. Because requests must be responded to by the Mediation Committee within seven days, please respond to the request by 12 January 2014.

Discussion relating to the mediation request is welcome at the case talk page. Thank you.

Hello, we are still awaiting statements for you regarding Ancient Egyptian Long-Term Editor Misconduct as you are a party, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case Regards, Andajara120000 (talk) 18:56, 6 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Your nutshell[edit]

Very good, thanks. This really is the classical "those editors defending the mainstream are out to get me" but with a twist - an attempt to get them (or rather us) banned or blocked to leave the way clear for a couple of indefatigable Black Egypt supporters. I wonder why the account change. The identity is pretty obvious. Not illegal of course as they are consecutive - unless there's a blocked or banned editor earlier. Anyway, nice clear succinct post. And the picture is pretty clear now. An editor with a battlefield mentality who wants everyone they disagree with on an article blocked or banned? And who has even before this brought up the ArbCom stick? I can't quite get my head around anyone who reads the probation notice about sanctions for disruptive editing and then does this. Dougweller (talk) 21:50, 6 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi guys. May I ask who was the original "identity" - I don't like to be falsely accused, and I would like to know who is accusing me if possible? Wdford (talk) 22:15, 6 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'm confused. Unless I missed something, I think Dougweller and I are referring to Andajara120000 and her previous account Tollsnanak900 in this section. But if someone is accusing you of something, they're probably accusing all of us, so I'd like to know where that's happening. Cheers, Λuα ^{(Operibus anteire)} 22:26, 6 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I haven't encountered Tollsnanak900 before either. She openly admits she changed her username here [1] However the Tollsnanak900 account lasted only one day, during which it seemingly made 147 edits on a single article - not really the behavior of a first-time editor? Its the early hours of the morning here, but unless I misread it I have been accused of conspiracy and serial misconduct. Am I being paranoid? Wdford (talk) 22:53, 6 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't notice that. You're right; all those edits were made in one day. I think we can trace out the string of accounts seeing whom did Tollsnanak900 agree with on that article and so on.

In any case, you're also right about being accused of years-long serial misconduct. All of us are in on a brothers-of-the-faith conspiracy to keep the true black character of ancient Egyptians from coming through. We have bullied and intimated many, many users seeking the truth. We have also created many articles on the same topic to confuse everyone. Despite our superior intelligence allowing us to keep this network going for many years, we apparently left clues to it on each others' talkpages. I mean, who doesn't love a tease, right?

Cheers, Λuα ^{(Operibus anteire)} 23:06, 6 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yep - God needs the Devil. And now Andajara120000 has racked up 3572 edits over 304 pages in just 4 weeks - about 120 edits per day every single day. Interesting. Wdford (talk) 23:22, 6 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Aua. I was struck by your RFAR nutshell too. Do you have any information (or gut feeling) which suggests further (newer) alternative or consecutive accounts of Andajara? Bishonen | talk 00:55, 10 January 2014 (UTC).[reply]

E1b1a[edit]

Seems to be popping up all over. Just removed it from Egyptians and Archaeogenetics of the Near East - besides the other problems, such specific points don't belong in these articles - obvious POV pushing. Dougweller (talk) 13:20, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Knowing the Y-haplogroup doesn't tell you much, if at all, about the race of people. This is especially true 3000 years ago. I don't think there is a point to including that information, so I'm in agreement with you.

In any case, thanks for letting me know. Apparently I was named in that DRN, but Andajara keeps getting my 3-lettered username wrong, so I wasn't notified.

Cheers, Λuα ^{(Operibus anteire)} 14:19, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I knew that she was getting it wrong but hadn't realised he hadn't told you. Not the only thing she's getting wrong. Comments at WP:NORN might be useful, the only response so far from anyone else blew me away for trying to do something bad about a fringe hypothesis, avoiding the issue entirely. I'm removing it from the other articles it was added to. Dougweller (talk) 17:23, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Request for mediation rejected[edit]

March 2014 GAN Backlog Drive[edit]

It's that time again! Starting on March 1, there will be another GAN Backlog Drive! There will be several changes compared to previous drives:

This drive will introduce a new component to it; a point system. In a nutshell, older nominations are worth more points than newer nominations. The top 3 participants who have the points will be awarded the Golden, Silver, or Bronze Wikipedia Puzzle Piece Trophy, respectively.
Unlike the December 2013 Backlog Drive, earning an additional barnstar if you reached your goal has been removed.
The allowance to have insufficient reviews has been lowered to 2 before being disqualified.
An exception to the rule that all reviews must be completed before the deadline has been created.

Also, something that I thought I would share with all of you is that we raised $20.88 (USD) for the WMF in the December 2013 drive. It may not sound like a lot but considering that that was raised just because we reviewed articles, I would say that's pretty good! With that success, pledges can be made for the upcoming drive if you wish.

More info regarding the drive and full descriptions regarding the changes to this drive can be found on the the drive page. If you have any questions, feel free to leave a message on the drive talk page.

I look forward to your participation and hope that because of it, some day the backlog will be gone!

I edited the intro as a request to move material from the intro into the body had been made. The logic and sense of the para I moved was history - therefore moved. Left the first sentences as duplication - as they made sense in both locations, and I do not wish at this time to edit the wording. I'll leave that for someone else.

I saw the formatting issue that you did - and fixed it. Should be good to go now.

Last comment - if you think the intro was already appropriate - why was a request left to shorten it and move material into the body?

WikiProject Good articles Future GAN Backlog Drive[edit]

Hello everyone! Hope you've all been having a great summer!

TheQ Editor recently proposed the idea of having another Backlog Drive in either September/October or November/December of this year. For those of you who have participated in the past two drives you know I was the one who organized them, however, come September, this will be my most important year in school so I will not be able to coordinate this drive (if it happens). TheQ Editor has volunteered to be a coordinator for the drive. If any of you would like to co-coordinator, please notify TheQ Editor on his talk page.

If you would be interested in participating in a Backlog Drive sometime before the end of this year, please notify TheQ Editor. Also, make sure to specify what month(s) work best for you.

At the time this message was sent out, the backlog was at 520 nominations. Since May, the backlog has been steadily increasing and we are currently near an all time high. Even though the backlog will not disappear over one drive, this drive can lead to several others which will (hopefully) lead to the day where there is no longer a backlog.

As always, the more participants, the better, and everyone is encouraged to participate!

GA Cup[edit]

Hello everyone! We hope you have all been having a great summer!

As we all know, the recent GAN Backlog Drives have not had any big impact on the backlog. Because of that, me (Dom497), Figureskatingfan, and TheQ Editor have worked on an idea that could possibly finally put a dent into the massive backlog. Now, I will admit, the idea isn't entirely ours as we have took the general idea of the WikiCup and brought it over to WikiProject Good Articles. But anyways, here's what we have in mind:

For all of you that do not know what the WikiCup is, it is an annual competition between several editors to see who can get the most Good Articles, Featured Article's, Did You Know's, etc. Based of this, we propose to you the GA Cup. This competition will only focus on reviewing Good articles.

For more info on the proposal, click here. As a FYI, the proposal page is not what the final product will look like (if you do go ahead with this idea). It will look very similar to WikiCup's page(s).

The discussion for the proposal will take place here. Please let us know if you are interested, have any concerns, things to consider, etc.

WikiProject Good Articles - GA Cup[edit]

WikiProject Good Articles's 2014-15 GA Cup

WikiProject Good articles is holding a new competition, the GA Cup, from October 1, 2014 - March 28, 2015. The Cup will be based on reviewing Good article nominations; for each review, points will be awarded with bonuses for older nominations, longer articles and comprehensive reviews. All participants will start off in one group and the highest scoring participants will go through to the second round. At the moment six rounds are planned, but this may change based on participant numbers.

Some of you may ask: what is the purpose for a competition of this type? Currently, there is a backlog of about 500 unreviewed Good article nominations, almost an all time high. It is our hope that we can decrease the backlog in a fun way, through friendly competition.

Everyone is welcome to join; new and old editors! Sign-ups will be open until October 15, 2014 so sign-up now!

If you have any questions, take a look at the FAQ page and/or contact one of the four judges.

Cheers from NickGibson3900, Dom497, TheQ Editor and Figureskatingfan.

Harvard Extension School[edit]

Hey old chum. I hope you are well. There is some vandalism on the HES page from someone who is likely affiliated with Harvard and feels threatened by the presence of the Extension School. And you know he has a right to feel that way because a whopping 152 Extension students earned Bachleor's degrees in 2014, compared to app. 1600 from the College! Anyway, this user vandalized the lede, and when I reverted the changes, he/she requested a page lock. The lede now contains factually incorrect information regarding minimum grade requirements. Admissions information is clearly stated in the body of the article and it is my opinion that it doesn't belong in the lede anyway. I have cited on the talk page why this information is incorrect, but I'm getting nowhere. Do you have any suggestions? Finelinebilly (talk) 18:48, 12 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I have not used any government sources, in fact, most of my posts could be construed as negative towards the government.
