[[Wikipedia_talk:Censorship]]

A watered-down version of the proposed policy against censorship is now open for voting. Will you kindly review the policy and make your opinions known? Thank you very much. Loom91 13:14, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

[[Lake Needwood]]

Lake Needwood was in the national news today (dam issue), so I started the article. When I searched for it at Wikipedia, I found the link on your user page. My understanding is that there have been two evacuations in the past 10 years or so, do you know? NoSeptember 13:47, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

Holidays

Out of curiosity, where do you get the list of holidays for the current events sidebar? (And a big THUMBS UP on keeping them maintained for so long!) Galatee (talk) 05:24, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

Your request for rollback

thumb

After reviewing your request for rollback, I have [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=rights&user=&page=User%3AStainedglasscurtain&year=&month=-1&tagfilter= enabled rollback] on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:

  • Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
  • Rollback can be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
  • Rollback may be removed at any time.

If you no longer want rollback, then contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some information on how to use rollback, you can view this page. I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, just leave me a message {{#ifeq:{{{1|}}}|||on my talk page}} if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Happy editing! Mifter (talk) 13:40, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

Asian 10,000 Challenge invite

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like South East Asia, Japan/China or India etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Asian content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 200 articles in just three days. If you would like to see this happening for Asia, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Asia, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant! Thank you. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 03:03, 21 October 2016 (UTC)
