Did you know? From Wikipedia's newest articles: ...that Jaina Island, a Maya necropolis, contains over 20,000 burials, with every one excavated having one or more ceramic figurines (example pictured)? ...that the LST-1-class tank landing ship USS Benzie County was featured in a World War II-era Camel cigarettes advertisement? ...that the 1903 Vagabond Hurricane is the most recent Atlantic hurricane to strike the state of New Jersey, and briefly threatened the life of President Theodore Roosevelt? ...that the large reredos above the altar in St. Martin's Church in Brighton, England, includes 20 pictures and 69 statues, all of which were carved in Oberammergau, Germany? ...that 8-year-old Sylvia Mendez played an instrumental role in the 1946 Mendez v. Westminster case, which successfully ended de jure segregation in California schools? ...that architecture critics praised the Art Deco Ghostbusters Building, in New York City, when it opened in 1929?

[edit] WP:NOT#SOCIALNET

Talk pages are for discussing the articles. Your changes showed teh beginnings of a pattern that would compromise the discussion pages. If you want to change your sig dynamically great, (go into preferences select raw and paste this in "''[[User:Hunterd|Duke of]] [[User talk:Hunterd|{{subst:BASEPAGENAME}}]]''," ).
(E.G. "Duke of Hunterd,"

But it is Baron Farnborough not Duke. Rich Farmbrough, 16:08 28 November 2006 (GMT).

[edit] MedCabal

Hi, we have a heavy backload of cases at WP:MEDCAB and since you are on the mediator list I thought I would request your help. Thanks! --Ideogram 10:48, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

The best way to learn is to jump right in, but if you want to co-mediate with someone else I'm sure anyone currently mediating a case would be willing. In particular Wikipedia:Mediation Cabal/Cases/2006-11-18 Singapore Changi Airport has already asked for a second mediator. --Ideogram 19:38, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

Hey, thanks for offering to help! Firstly, I don't know, maybe it's just me, but that sig using {{subst:BASEPAGENAME}} gets awfully long when dealing with subpages (as you can see at the mediation page), I don't suppose you could change it (perhaps if you want to keep it, just for the duration of the case? It'll be weird to see "The Duke of Mediation Cabal/Cases/2006-11-18 Singapore Changi Airport" all the time heh). First thing is we'll have to notify the participants involved. Personally I like to ask them to give their views on the discussion section at the same time. – Chacor 02:06, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Right now I'm waiting for responses from all the parties. This way we can get a better idea of what the dispute exactly is. – Chacor 05:37, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads-up. I've been fairly busy in real life recently, so haven't had much time to work on the case. I'll have a look, cheers. – Chacor 12:41, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Singapore Changi Airport

Re: Wikipedia:Mediation_Cabal/Cases/2006-11-18 Singapore Changi Airport, the one person it was designed to convince is now disputing the MedCab decision and reverting the 'compromise' change at Singapore Changi Airport. You might want to head over to the talk page for a looksee. Jpatokal 06:21, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Arbitration

Greetings! You are being contacted to be notified that a Request for Arbitration has opened and you were listed as an involved party. You can find the discussion and make a statement at Wikipedia:Requests for Arbitration#Huaiwei and Singapore Changi Airport. Thank you for your cooperation. thadius856_{talk|airports|neutrality} 20:12, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Motto of the Day

I've given the project a second refreshing, cleaned out all the pages and organised new mottos well into February 2007 - are you participating in this as an overseer any more, or would you like to be removed from the list? Oh, and happy birthday! —Vanderdecken∴ ∫ξφ 18:33, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WP:ADOPT

Hi there,

As a current Adopter with the Adopt-a-User program there has been some ongoing developments that we would like to bring to your attention.

A new Adopter's Area has been created where you can find useful resources and other Adopter's experiences. Please feel free to add any resources you may have found useful as an Adopter, as well as recount any experiences that you think may help others. If you know of any useful resources for new users / Adoptees then you can add them here.

Also the way the adoption process works has changed slightly. To decrease workload at Category:Wikipedians seeking to be adopted in Adopt-a-user, on offering adoption please change the {{Adoptme}} template to {{Adoptoffer}} on the user's user page, and this will add the user to Category:Wikipedians having been offered adoption. Users that have already been offered adoption can always have a second or third offer, but by separating out those users that have not had an adoption offer yet, it is hoped that no one will go lacking.

Furthermore numerous Adopters have been adding their details to a list of users available for adopting, to offer a more personalised service and allow new users to browse through and pick their own Adopter. The quickest way to adopt though, is still to contact users at the Category:Wikipedians seeking to be adopted in Adopt-a-user.

Finally - thanks for all your hard work, keep it up - and if you have any general questions or suggestions about the further development of Wikipedia:Adopt-a-User please bring them to our talk page. Cheers Lethaniol 13:52, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Kenny.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:Kenny.gif. 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 orphaned, meaning that it is 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 under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

[edit] Participation Drive

[edit] League of Copyeditors participation drive!

Dear League member,

We've started a participation drive for the remainder of February. If you can, please help clear the backlog by adopting the following goals each week:

• Select an article to copy-edit from the backlog. After your copy-edit, list the article in the articles ready for final proofread section.
• Select a different article to proofread from the articles ready for final proofread section.

Thanks for your help! Rintrah 09:36, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Helping out with the Unassessed Wikipedia Biographies

Seeing that you are an active member of the WikiBiography Project, I was wondering if you would help lend a hand in helping us clear out the amount of unassessed articles tagged with {{WPBiography}}. Many of them are of stub and start class, but a few are of B or A caliber. Getting a simple assessment rating can help us start moving many of these biographies to a higher quality article. Thank you! --Ozgod 20:52, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Why don't you lot get the hint?

I AM ON WIKIBREAK!

Hunterd is taking a short wikibreak and will be back on Wikipedia soon.

Don't expect me to reply to any messages left here.

[edit] Biography WikiProject Newsletter Delivery

The Biography WikiProject Newsletter Volume II, no. 1 - March 2007
Project News Your help is needed now to run the Wikiproject. In the absence of Plange's excellent leadership, many important tasks have fallen by the wayside.

The Biography Portal needs your help! Take the time to nominate or vote on nominations for the portal's highlighted articles, help revise the Did You Know? section, or drop by to add your favorite quotes as future quotes of the week. Don't forget to help out with the collaboration of the fortnight. And while you're there, why not nominate an article or vote for one of the current nominations?

From the Editors Everybody needs a break sometimes, and that might go for WikiProjects as well. But the WP:Biography newsletter is back from its hiatus, and the project is healthier than ever. With more than 250 active members and upwards of 20 admins, we are one of the biggest projects on wikipedia. But size doesn't matter - or so they say. The true measure of a wikiproject is how much it contributes to the betterment of wikipedia. Which means adding your name to the rolls wasn't enough. If you haven't already, it's time to step up and help out the project. Volunteer. Contribute. So take a look at the to-do list in this newsletter, and let's get going. If you've just joined, add your name to the Members section of Wikipedia:WikiProject Biography. You'll get a mention in the next issue of the Newsletter and get it delivered as desired. Also, please include your own promotions and awards in future issues. Don't be shy! Lastly, this is your newsletter and you can be involved in the creation of the next issue (Issue 2 – April 2007).

Please leave your views at the council or biogrpahy main talk page. THanks ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ ^{"I've been expecting you"} 14:48, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Help with Shahbag

The article is inching towards an FA status and is being reviewed for a second time by peers. But, it still needs much copyedit (especially with citation template and dating web citations). A wholesomely coherent style of English and a completely cohesive flow of the article is mightily required at this point. I have also tagged the article for sopyedit, and have posted a request with Wikipedia:WikiProject League of Copyeditors. Please, help. Aditya Kabir 16:08, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
