WikiProject Wikify March Mini Drive

Hi there! I thought you might be interested in the March Mini Special Wikification Drive, from March 8 to 23, 2012. We're currently recruiting help to clear a massive backlog (21,500+ articles), and we need your help to keep it down at 20,000! Participants in the drive will receive barnstars for their contributions! If you have a spare moment, please join and wikify an article or tell your friends. Thanks!

Hi Gilderien, and thanks for wikifying T-Trac. However, i would be grateful if you didn't log it as part of the March Mini drive, which only starts on March 8, 2012, 00:00 AM UTC (and finishes March 24, 2012, 00:00 AM UTC). Cheers, and thanks again for your work (it won't be wasted as it helps Wikipedia ;)

Ah, I seem to have got my date wrong and started 3 hours too early. Sorry :/ --Gilderien Talk|Contribs 20:34, 7 March 2012 (UTC)

I'm really sorry about this, and you are not the only participant to have got muddled up (some by nearly 3 days :) The dates are a bit arkward as this is a "Special" drive (as with last year's March Mini), as a complement to the February drive which saw an unexpected explosion in backlog figures. Usually, however, the drives last a full month. Thanks again, benzband (talk) 20:40, 7 March 2012 (UTC)

The WikiProject Wikify Ribbon is bestowed upon Gilderien for wikifying 2 articles (although not quite within the time-limit) for the March Mini drive. Thankyou! :-) benzband (talk) 13:20, 25 March 2012 (UTC)

Invitation to the April Wikification Drive

Hi there! I thought you might be interested in WikiProject Wikify's April Wikification Backlog Elimination Drive. We'll be trying to reduce the backlog size by over 1,300 articles and we need your help! Hard-working participants in the drive will receive awards for their contributions, including a brand new one for the single largest wikified article! All you have to do is put an asterisk next to the largest article you've wikified, and coordinators will check its wordcount after the drive ends. If you have a spare moment, please join and wikify an article or tell your friends. Thanks!

Note: The drive started April 1, and you can sign up anytime!

Why are you tagging article that are up for speedy deletion?

As you did with Farmscapes and Lux (Drummer). Also, there is a strong consensus that new articles should not be tagged immediately after being created. Not that I agree with that idea. -- Alan Liefting (talk - contribs) 21:24, 8 April 2012 (UTC)

Oh, I'm sorry. I was tagging articles using AWB, and obviously I must have missed the CSD tag (AWB only shows the code window, not the "read" version of the article). I'll be more careful in future. :-) --Gilderien Talk|Contribs 10:54, 9 April 2012 (UTC)

Thanks

Thank you for your support at my RfA. I will do my best to live up to people's confidence in me. Yngvadottir (talk) 18:15, 9 April 2012 (UTC)

User_talk:Courcelles recall

Hello. User:BarkingFish has backed out of the recall as the initiator and asked that someone else fill his position. Could you please consider taking the role as the initiator rather than a certifier? I am not even sure a new initiator is needed at the moment, but if a recall were to progress it would probably be less controversial if there were someone in that role.--v/r - T P 20:41, 9 April 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for April 11

Hi. When you recently edited Great Sca Fell, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Wainwright (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

London

This edit to London broke several links to pictures, and lets just say, The Queen was not amused, however when I pointed out your excellent work to her she calmed down and asked me to convey her thanks for the excellent work you do on wikipedia. Could you please be more careful when you use automated tools to edit code such as pictures.Martin451 (talk) 22:46, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

Terribly sorry old chap, one mustn't do that again. One must check that ajax.js doesn't affect pictures in future. All the best, and do inform the Queen that one anticipates greatly the jubilee flotilla this summer.--Gilderien Talk|Contribs 09:18, 12 April 2012 (UTC)
