Iceland's portal peer review
Hello, Joe! Since you are experienced with portals and have recently been a portal peer reviewer, I request your input at the Iceland Portal's peer review. All general feedback is greatly appreciated. I hope to improve the Iceland Portal to featured status. Thanks! — [sd] 11:58, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
- Hello! I would like notify you that the Iceland Portal has now been nominated for featured status. Comments and suggestions are welcome at the discussion. Thank you, [sd] 02:01, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
The Indiana Portal
Hi Joe, you did a great job of getting The Indiana Portal up and running. I added some things and put it up for a portal peer review. After that, why don't you nominate it for featured portal status? :-) Regards, RichardF (talk) 20:58, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
- Yeah, I noticed the changes and additions you made. I'll keep an eye on the peer review and work on what gets brought up. But you're more than welcome to nominate it for featured, because I won't due to my sporadic activity. Joe I 04:39, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
- Okay, I see you just caught a typo! >;-o) I'm going to look at the featured and other state portals to see if there are some other nice sections we can add. I like the "Attractions" section at Florida, for example. RichardF (talk) 05:09, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
- Yeah, I like the attractions idea as well, tho I can't come up with to many attractions other than Holiday World and the Indy Speedway. Joe I 06:39, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
- Are you willing to support the FP nomination? Maybe that will help get it off the dime. :-) RichardF (talk) 20:44, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Your welcome message
Not only is your welcome message enormous, so that it's pretty intimidating for a newbie to even begin to read, but it doesn't close its fonts properly, and any additional edits after it are in the same gigantic font you used. See User talk:Wearebc. 22:18, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
- I agree, watch your stray font tags.

Info box changes, and...doesn't change back!
06:51, 13 February 2008 (UTC)Alloy (talk)Help! I edited an info box at the "Steward Edward White" article, and it does not seem to have resumed its original format--it only displays with HTML? language. I re-started my computer, and the article still appears in this form. My revised text appears in the info box; now, do I have to do one more step to get the format to revert back to finished text?
- Fixed. You just forgot a closing bracket. 70.186.172.75 (talk) 19:26, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

Hi Joe-- I studied that infobox, and compared it to another author's (James Whitecomb Riley), to see if I could find the formatting error. Never did. Thanks for getting in there and restoring it. Farrell

I was wondering if you could spare the time for a peer review of this portal? The editor has been slaving away pretty much by himself and really wants input from others. I know you're busy, which makes your input, if you can manage it, so much more appreciated. :) All the best, --ROGER DAVIES talk 00:20, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

Your thoughts on quote formats in featured portals
Yo, I stumbled accross your featured portal criteria and I was wondering if you could tell me what you think the best way to go about formatting quotes on a portal is. On Portal:Anarchism we don't use {{cquote}} and I was thinking of switching to it. Sincerely, Skomorokh 18:15, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

Does Carol Schwartz belong in WikiProject Texas?
Carol Schwartz was added to WikiProject Texas by a bot, presumably because of the mentions of Texas in her bio, and then you added importance Mid later. Since she moved to DC from Texas at age 22, I find it hard to believe she rates a "Mid" in significance for Texas — in fact, it seems unlikely that she should be in WikiProject Texas at all, though of course the project can make whatever decisions it likes. Just thought I'd call it to your attention. —KCinDC (talk) 17:42, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

Hello, I saw that you are a portal peer review volunteer. I have worked much for the improvement of my portal, but some concerns may remain:
- Is the image at the top of the page useful and aesthetic, or should I remove or replace it ?
- Problem with the selected biography: I contented myself with writing a short sentence as an introduction for each personality. Then I wrote the beginning of the biography, then put a link "more..." to the complete article. Is it approriate ?
- Selected images are not of the same size. Is it really a problem ? It should be noted that free images for comics are very rare.
- Is the presentation of the news correct ? I did not specified the exact date of each event, only the month, because I do not know it.
- If you have any other recommendations about other aspects of the portal, do not hesitate ! It MUST become a featured portal ! Thanks. (Please reply here).--Pah777 (talk) 22:02, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Certified Acceptance Corporation
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/15/Ambox_warning_pn.svg/48px-Ambox_warning_pn.svg.png)
A tag has been placed on Certified Acceptance Corporation, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}}
to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. TallNapoleon (talk) 09:46, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

C Class for WP Texas
Hi Searchme, I've temporarily reverted your addition of the C class to the WP Texas template. When C-class was first introduced, it was brought up on the WP Texas talk page, and there was no consensus to add the class. That was several months ago, and it is possible that consensus changed. If you think we need the class, could you please propose this on the WP Texas talk page? We would also need to modify the assessments scale so that assessors would understand when to use C class versus other classes. Thanks! Karanacs (talk) 14:11, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
- OK, thanks, I'll see about bringing it up. Joe I 16:51, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

Wikiproject Electronics collaboration
Hi, I am writing to you because you have listed yourself as a member of the Electronics WikiProject. Sadly, this project is pretty dead, but I propose to resuscitate it with a collaboration. The idea is to have a concerted effort on improving one article per month, hopefully to GA or FA status and nominate the very best of them for the front page. I have prepared a page to control this process at Wikipedia:WikiProject Electronics/Collaboration (actually, I mostly shamelessly stole it from Wikipedia:WikiProject Mammals where a collaboration of this sort was succesfully run). There you can make nominations for articles for collaboration or comment on the nominations of others.
If you want to take part you might like to place this template {{WikiProject Electronics Collaboration}}
on your userpage which will give you a link to the current collaboration. If you are no longer interested in Wikiproject Electronics, please remove yourself from the members list, which is now at Wikipedia:WikiProject Electronics/Members

Question
Hi there...
What are your thoughts on collecting all Euro related articles and putting them into a sub-portal (if there is such a thing...)? The € • T/C 13:22, 20 December 2008 (UTC)
- Tho there doesn't seem to be enough content to apply to an individual portal, a tab seems like a good idea. You can see some examples at Portal:Atlas and Portal:European Union. I don't think I'd have alot of time for major work on it, but I'd be more than happy to set it up and help out as much as possible. Just let me know what you're thinking about different boxes, rotated content and such. Joe I 03:11, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
- A tab does seem like a good idea. I'm not sure what you mean by boxes and rotated content, though. The reason I asked your thoughts in the first place is that since Euro topics have an entire subset of specific information and content, it might be helpful to have some sort of focused point of convergence for editors to either contribute new or improve upon existing articles. While it is true that there isn't enough content for an individual portal now, over the next few years, there may be. Perhaps it would be prudent to spin off Euro content sooner rather than later, given what little (compared to other portals) content there is, into a sub portal so as to ease the transition when such a time comes that there is enough content on the subject to justify a completely separate portal. I'm just thinking out loud here, but maybe it is better to start off with a tab and move forward from there. I would like to see a dedicated area for improvements and assessments of current articles as well as a 'what's needed' area in this tab. If I had about a day or two, I would probably be able to recommend several dozen articles where Euro specific content could be formed into a new article. The Euro, for many researchers, represents a single idea whose precepts are separate from those of general numismatics; but it is certainly a part of general numismatics too. I'm just trying to get Euro related content to have more focus than it does now and creating a sub-portal was the first thing that came to mind. Thanks for your open-mindedness in addressing my question... it is appreciated. The € • T/C 16:08, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
- A tab would be easily transferable into a full portal when appropriate. Maybe, to organize and focus attentions you could think about setting up a separate taskforce/workgroup of Wikipedia:WikiProject Numismatics. You can see how this is done at Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history#Task forces. This would give a chance for separate to-do list, assessments, collaborations and such. There seems to be alot of interest in the euro, so I'm sure it wouldn't be difficult to set up. With this done, setting a portal tab for the euro would be much easier. Joe I 21:54, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks for the direction... I'll proceed as you suggest. Thanks again! The € • T/C 07:23, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

Still waiting for your reply on Template_talk:WorldCurrencies. I've also noted your edits to Portal:North_America/WikiProjects. 199.172.207.171 (talk) 19:24, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
- I've posed the question at Template talk:Countries and territories of the Caribbean. I do mostly agree that it is not in the Caribbean, but I would like another opinion. And I have no intention of changing Portal:North_America/WikiProjects unless Wikipedia:WikiProject Bermuda is unlisted as a subproject of Wikipedia:WikiProject Caribbean. Joe I 06:33, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
- I have added a reply to your question there, but please attempt to address the concerns I've made at WorldCurrencies.

HELP!!!
Hey Joe, I don't know if you are a Wiki admin but want telling you a real problem and would like getting your kind support. Today I wrote this to two English admins:
you could be the one who might ask the Wiki.en gentlemen to whitelist my URL www.realgems.org. Since December 2008 Vsmith & Co. (USA) have deleted all my external links so that all gemstone-interested Wiki users worldwide (! - except Germany) cannot find my collection of faceted gemstones (and their rough versions) any more... From July 2008 until December 2008 all my link additions (to my own, educational and non-profit) were not regarded as spam!!!
I have sent this message also to User:SauliH. and Gem-fanat.
Since a few days I have followed the instruction of a Wiki admin to create something worthy for Wikipedia so that my URL can be whitelisted again. So I created these articles on German Wiki BECAUSE GERMAN WIKI HAS WHITELISTED MY URL BECAUSE THEY HAVE SEEN THAT MY COLLECTION OF MORE THAN 2000 IMAGES IS WORTH BEING LINKED AT WIKIPEDIA: Tugtupite, Jeremejevite, Benitoite and added some data to Red Beryl. What else can I do to reach a worldwide whitelisting?

The Military history WikiProject Newsletter : Issue XXXVII (March 2009)
| |||
The big news of course was the seventh project coordinator election covering the period ending 30 September. The quality of the candidates was extremely high, with some of the project's top content builders running alongside highly experienced backroom people. Of the eighteen candidates, sixteen were finally appointed, giving us probably the most rounded coordination team so far. Those elected were: Abraham, B.S., Bellhalla, Cam, Eurocopter, EyeSerene, Ian Rose, Jackyd101, Joe N, Lordoliver, Maralia, MBK004, Nick-D, Roger Davies (lead), Skinny87, The ed17 and TomStar81. Kirill Lokshin continues in his role as coordinator emeritus. Thanks must go to the departing coordinators – Bedford, JonCatalán and Woody – for helping make the project what it is today The C-class referendum, held at the same time, produced a slight majority of votes for introduction, but was insufficient to demonstrate a clear consensus. So, for the time being at least, therefore, the project will continue without C-class. Otherwise, focus is likely be on the Academy and the development of courses to develop reviewing, copy-editing and article-building skills. Some review of our task forces is also probable, perhaps consolidating some of the smaller, quieter, ones. As ever, input from everyone is not only welcomed but positively encouraged. The coordinators' gratitude goes not only to those who participated in the election and referenda but also to everyone who works quietly and conscientiously away to make participation in this project rewarding, successful and productive. Milhist is very fortunate in its membership! Thank you all, Roger Davies talk 16:15, 2 April 2009 (UTC) |

Hey joe..need your help again
I can't believ we haven't talked since '08 about the CAC Article! Well, I made an article on the classic head gold coin, ($2.50 quarter eagle). Perhaps it can be sprunced up or perhaps merged?
I cited my sources, and I would be devestated if it was deleted. I know it wasn't a very good edit, I haven't used wikipedia in a long time, but am seeking your help to improve it! Also, I would like to help add more counterfeit diagnoses on counterfeit coins, such as repeating depressions, eletrocytes counterfeits, cast counterfeits and die-transfer counterfeits, "fatty" or round letters, and tool marks which are commonly found on high quality numismatic grade fakes. I did make an edit on this earlier as well, but I assume since I didn't cite my sources it was deleted. (All I've learned about the subject I haven't found online, but rather classes I took or books I've read in hand)
Thanks for your understanding. Spacetimecont (talk) 06:33, 16 May 2009 (UTC)

Wikipedia never notifies me of watched page changes
I believe you welcomed me to Wikipedia when I first joined and you invited me to ask you questions here.
I usually check "Watch this page" on pages that I edit, expecting Wikipedia to send me a notification by email whenever the page changes. However, I have never received such a notification. I have verified that my email address is entered properly in my profile. Do you have any idea what the problem might be? Or is that not how page watching works? Thanks!

Welcome to a new occasional feature of The Bugle, where over coming issues we'll be exploring some of the roles, tasks, and technical functions that go into creating what archivist and researcher Simon Fowler has described as the best general resource for military history on the internet.† As a project we can rightly be proud of that accolade, and we gratefully acknowledge the debt we owe to those dedicated editors from across Wikipedia that have helped to make the Military history WikiProject what it is today. Many editors' first inkling of milhist's existence is when they spot our project banner on an article talk page. The banner can be easily added to appropriate articles by any editor, by typing {{WPMILHIST}} at (or near) the top of the talk page on a new line, and saving the page with an appropriate edit summary. This short form of the template will add the article to our project, and also flag the article as needing assessment and assignment to a task force by automatically adding it to the unassessed articles and articles with no associated task force categories. As with many templates in use on Wikipedia, additional parameters can be specified. Possibly the most useful to include is the class parameter, because this will help out any editors who come along later to assess the article. To add the class parameter, edit the template markup to look like {{WPMILHIST|class=}}... and if you wish, have a read through the assessment guidance on milhists's quality scale and assign a rating from Stub- to B-Class yourself. A banner template with, for example, a Stub-Class article rating will look like {{WPMILHIST|class=stub}}. Because B-Class is assessed against a checklist it has some additional parameters, so when adding the project banner to an article talk-page, even if you don't intend to assess the article yourself it can be a real help to subsequent editors to include these too. This version of the template can be entered as {{WPMILHIST|class=|B1=|B2=|B3=|B4=|B5=}}. For detailed guidance on exactly what the five B-Class criteria are, see the B-class checklist. Finally, when adding the milhist banner it's useful to assign the article to one (or more) of our task forces. This will help to bring it to the attention of those editors most likely to be interested in, and knowledgeable about, the subject. As with assessment, task force assignment is accomplished by adding a parameter to the template—in this case, simply the name of the task force followed by =yes (or =y). For example, to assign a Start-Class article to the Second World War and Canadian task forces, the template should read {{WPMILHIST|class=start|B1=|B2=|B3=|B4=|B5=|WWII=yes|Canadian=yes}}. For a full list of all the banner template parameters and more detailed usage instructions, see Template:WPMILHIST; if you are unsure as to whether or not an article belongs with milhist or what task force(s) might be appropriate, or if you have any other questions, you are welcome to ask at our main project talk page. Happy templating! EyeSerenetalk †Simon Fowler, Guide to Military History on the Internet, UK:Pen & Sword 2007, ISBN 9781844156061, p. 7 | |||

Although reviewing might seem daunting to newcomers, this article will give you an outline of three popular reviewing methods so you can actually start contributing yourself.

![]() Looking behind the figures, some other interesting facts emerge. First, 84% of our promoted articles had successfully passed a Milhist A-Class Review before going on to FAC. Second, of the 29 Milhist articles that failed, less than half (41%) had had an A-Class Review. Third, the 97 Milhist articles accounted for 16% of all FACs submitted between January and July of this year. The clear lesson is that if you want a string of featured articles to your credit, you may find Milhist's A-class Review process to be of benefit to you! Roger Davies talk

Greetings to all members of the Military history WikiProject, and to those outside the project who receive this news letter as well! My name is TomStar81, and it with a great sense of pride that I assume the position of lead coordinator for the project. On behalf of all the coordinators, both new and returning, we wish to thank those of you who participated in the September elections, and we look forward to working to advance the goals of the project for the next six months. With the elections concluded, there are two changes. First, Roger Davies has been appointed a coordinator emeritus, joining our first coordinator emeritus Kirill Lokshin. Secondly, for the first time ever, the lead coordinator for the Military history WikiProject will be taking a lengthy wikibreak. For those who were unaware of this, I am an undergraduate student, and will be taking a leave of absence, effective end September, to focus on graduating in December. However, with fourteen coordinators, and two coordinators emeritus, I am confident the needs of the project will be well taken care of. For the VIII coordinator tranche, TomStar81 (Talk) |
