SAAF Squadrons

I see you have added the necessary internal hyperlinks to 109 Sqn SAAF. I have been churning our articles on the disbanded squadrons of the SAAF, with particular reference to the WW2 era. It would be super if you could do the same for the other Sqn's as what you did for 109 Sqn. My intention was to come back and re-visit the articles from the perspective of links, but I fear that's not happening!

However, I do not think its necessary to link all dates in the article - simply results in too many links on the page!

WikiCup 2011 September newsletter

We are on this year's home straight, with less than a month to go until the winner of the 2011 WikiCup will be decided. The fight for first place is currently being contested by Principality of Sealand Miyagawa (submissions), Zanzibar Hurricanehink (submissions) and Australia Sp33dyphil (submissions), all of whom have over 200 points. This round has already seen multiple featured articles (1991 Atlantic hurricane season from Hurricanehink and Northrop YF-23 from Sp33dyphil) and a double-scoring featured list (Miyagawa's 1948 Summer Olympics medal table). The scores will likely increase far further before the end of the round on October 31 as everyone ups their pace. There is not much more to say- thoughts about next year's competition are welcome on the WikiCup talk page or the scoring talk page, and signups will open once a few things have been sorted out.

If you are concerned that your nomination, be it at good article candidates, a featured process or anywhere else, will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages, or by email. Good luck! If you wish to start receiving or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

So, on your alternate account's talk page, there is a tag claiming that you understand what alternate accounts are for and will abide by policy. Are you quite certain you understand WP:SOCK? Sending your alt account a welcome message and then using another account to give yourself an apparently completely undeserved barnstar strongly suggests that you do not.

Thanks for uploading File:Kweku Adoboli in court.jpeg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Answer to Muhammad Ali question about relevant sources.

Dear Katarighe,

Were you asking if there were more relevant sources than The New York Times, USA Today, Los Angeles Times, and Miami Herald? I'm not following? Would these not be the best possible sources that exist? If you can edit this it would be much appreciated. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Creed81 (talkcontribs) 18:55, 9 October 2011 (UTC)

Hi, I am confused as to why my edit was reverted. I changed a factual inaccuracy so it would be up to date. The "5 million people" was based on the notion that every video view is equal to one person viewing it. Either way, Harvard Sailing Team's videos have since surpassed 5 million views and are upwards of 8 million views now. You can confirm this on http://www.youtube.com/hstsketchcomedy Thank you.

Thank you for making a report on Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism. Reporting and removing vandalism is vital to the functioning of Wikipedia and all users are encouraged to revert, warn, and report vandalism. However, it appears that the editor you reported may not have engaged in vandalism, or the user was not sufficiently or appropriately warned. Please note there is a difference between vandalism and unhelpful or misguided edits made in good faith. If the user continues to vandalise after a recent final warning, please re-report it. Thank you. The user in question had only one edit. There is no reasonable way to determine if an account is VOA just by that. Alexandria (Ni!) 15:39, 14 October 2011 (UTC)

WP:NOTNOW?

Hi,
please have a look at Wikipedia:When not to link to WP:NOTNOW -- the WP:NOTNOW essay is intended for very new editors starting an RfA, not for an editor with 4000+ edits over 2.5 years like Ankitbhatt.

ETA in category "government of India"?

Hello! I noticed that you have just added article ETA (Euskadi Ta Askatasuna, the Basque nationalist and separatist organization) to Category:Government of India using HotCat. I was wondering if this could be a mistake, since I don't see any relationship between both (in particular, there is no mention of India in the article itself). Since I'm not knowledgeable in the matter, I have not removed the categorisation from the page; I leave that up to you, if you find it suitable. Thank you for looking into it.

Wikipedia:Editor review/Katarighe

I declined the speedy deletion of your editor review because it didn't appear to meet the criteria for speedy deletion. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 16:39, 22 October 2011 (UTC)

You can close the current review and open a new if you want to do that for whatever reason, but once other users edited that page it no longer qualified for speedy deletion per creator or user request. It is not in your userspace and five other users made substantive contributions to it. This makes it look like you are trying to hide anything you perceive as a negative comment related to you. That is not a good thing. These reviews were made in good faith in an attempt to help you. The idea is for you to learn to do better, not just to be a prep session for some future RFA.

Like 3-4 months right? Mohamed Aden Ighe (talk) 23:12, 22 October 2011 (UTC)
And here again we see more unhealthy focus on gathering shiny things to mark milestones as prep work for that RFA, when, as I and others have endeavored to communicate to you, you should be more concerned with acquiring experience at actually editing Wikipedia and showing the capacity to learn from your mistakes and listen to honest, constructive criticism when it is offered. It's up to you how to proceed but when you post that RFA and it doesn't turn out the way you wanted you won't be able to say you were not warned, repeatedly, that you were adopting the wrong approach in treating adminship as a trophy. It is not a trophy. It is a set of tools that require demonstrable judgement and experience. It is not just a "level up" that you get when you collect enough tokens. Beeblebrox (talk) 00:44, 23 October 2011 (UTC)

Thanks Beeblebrox for you spectacular help. You really understand about my unhealthy focus, like admin-ship is not like leveling up to collect tokens. I would really like these tools for me but I don't have the time to get them until I approach my behavior. I assume good faith on other users and have experienced for 6 months approx (some I left due to a wikibreak). You understand my enthusiasm for this but my idea is I have to wait until my mistakes is solved. I would not apply RfA because your brief explanation is good that would lead me successful . Do you seem I'm a good user? Have I been vandalizing or edit warring? Tell me the brief mistakes that I should solve but thank your for the great explanation. I really like it and you're a good user experiencing the standard offer. Again, thanks Mohamed Aden Ighe (talk) 16:02, 23 October 2011 (UTC) also check this for issues 1.

What is it then? Is it the sock puppetry? --Mohamed Aden Ighe (talk) 16:17, 23 October 2011 (UTC)

Not sure what you mean by asking "what is it then?" If you are looking for a single, simple answer to what you need to do to pass an RFA there isn't one. But using another account to give yourself an undeserved user award sure doesn't help. Beeblebrox (talk) 16:21, 23 October 2011 (UTC)

I've really understand my point, I will stop trying to do this. Mohamed Aden Ighe (talk) 16:31, 23 October 2011 (UTC)
Well, we understand our points and try to stop this. No more questions, Thank you for your good notices Mohamed Aden Ighe (talk) 16:34, 23 October 2011 (UTC)

When you tag a user as a sockpuppet...

Please don't subst a sockpuppet template or a indef-blocked template when tagging a user. Not only does it create unnessecary byte usage on the page, some templates aren't even supposed to be substed. Just use {{$1|$2}}, where $1 is the template name without the subst: at the beginning, and $2 is the parameter(s). This is much more efficient, and this also allows a mass update of the template usages with one edit. Thanks. LikeLakers2 (talk | Sign my guestbook!) 23:31, 22 October 2011 (UTC)
