WikiProject Good Articles will be running a GAN backlog elimination drive for the entire month of April. The goal of this drive is to bring the number of outstanding Good Article nominations down to below 200. This will help editors in restoring confidence to the GAN process as well as actively improving, polishing, and rewarding good content. If you are interested in participating in the drive, please place your name here. Awards will be given out to those who review certain numbers of GANs as well as to those who review the most. Hope we can see you in April. |

Needs another look. Thanks, Dabomb87 (talk) 02:25, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for finding those sources! I had no idea it had attracted press; Fiskepinner's work just kept leading me to Bjørvika. I moved it, closed the RfD, and did a little rewriting, starting with a lead paragraph for those of us not in Norway who were scratching our heads. But I have to confess I am still confused about what's in the Barcode part and what isn't. Am I right in guessing that Drottning Eufemiasgata is not, and neither is the tunnel? that the name refers only to the 12 skyscrapers (and that "Barcode" comes from an analogy between a line of skyscrapers and the vertical lines on a barcode)? The sources are a bit beyond my reading ability in Norwegian, to be frank. Is it possible you could find the time to shorten/rewrite and reference the article? Properly it should be Fiskepinner's job since it was his idea to put the material in, but he doesn't seem to get it about references. I have other projects stacked high, on and off wiki, but if you or someone else doesn't do it, I'll come back later and give it a try. I feel bad about AfD'ing it.

Could you please not revert Spitsbergen Treaty on the Svalbard page to "Svalbard Treaty", as no such treaty exists. There is a "Treaty concerning Spitsbergen", but none titled as "Svalbard". I really don't care for Norwegians such as yourself wishing to rename it the "Svalbard Treaty" in an effort to bolster your completely unsupported claims of having actually discovered the archipelago in the 12th century. No one has come close to proving that the two are one and the same. That being said, it will stay as the "Spitsbergen Treaty", as that was the treaty's actual name.

We're half way through round two, and everything is running smoothly. Hunter Kahn (submissions) leads overall with 650 points this round, and heads pool B. TonyTheTiger (submissions) currently leads pool C, dubbed the "Group of Death", which has a only a single contestant yet to score this round (the fewest of any group), as well five contestants over 100 points (the most). With a month still to go, as well as 16 wildcard places, everything is still to play for. Anything you worry may not receive the necessary attention before the end of the round (such as outstanding GA or FA nominations) is welcome at Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews, and please remember to continue offering reviews yourself where possible. As always, the judges are available to contact via email, IRC or their talk pages, and general discussion about the Cup is welcome on the WikiCup talk page.
Although unrelated to the WikiCup, April sees a Good Article Nominations backlog elimination drive, formulated as a friendly competition with small awards, as the Cup is. Several WikiCup contestants and judges have already signed up, but regular reviewers and those who hope to do more reviewing are more than welcome to join at the drive page.

Hi! I went ahead and merged "County cabinet (Norway)" into the new page Subnational parliamentary system in Norway. This is since county parliamentarism is the same thing as municipal/city parliamentarism. The page "County cabinet (Norway)" said that Finnmark has a parliamentary system, but I haven't found any mention of this; is it really the case? Geschichte (talk) 13:58, 3 April 2010 (UTC)

Could you slightly improve the citation at this article? There's no specific citation after the hook, and the citation for the paragraph with the hook is referenced by a citation of several pages; my interpretation of the DYK rules is that we need a citation to a specific page immediately following the statement used as the hook.

First off, on behalf of myself and my co-coordinator Wizardman, I would like to thank you for the efforts that you have made so far in this GAN backlog elimination drive. It has been nothing short of a success, and that is thanks to you. See this Signpost article about what this drive has achieved so far.
We're currently heading into the final week of the drive. At this time, if you have any GANs on review or on hold, you should be finishing off those reviews. Right now, we have more GANs on review or on hold than we do unreviewed. If you're going to start a GA review, please do so now so you can complete it by the end of the month and so that the nominator has a full 7-day window to address any concerns. See you at the finish! |

Round two is over, and we are down to our final 32. For anyone interested in the final standings (though not arranged by group) this page has been compiled. Congratulations to Hunter Kahn (submissions), our clear overall round winner, and to ThinkBlue (submissions) and Arsenikk (submissions), who were solidly second and third respectively. There were a good number of high scorers this round- competition was certainly tough! Round three begins tomorrow, but anything promoted after the end of round two is eligible for points. 16 contestants (eight pool leaders and eight wildcards) will progress to round four in two months- things are really starting to get competitive. Anything you worry may not receive the necessary attention before the end of the round (such as outstanding GA or FA nominations) is welcome at Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews, and please remember to continue offering reviews yourself where possible. As always, the judges are available to contact via email, IRC or their talk pages, and general discussion about the Cup is welcome on the WikiCup talk page.
Judge iMatthew has retired from Wikipedia, and we wish him the best. The competition has been ticking over well with minimal need for judge intervention, so thank you to everyone making that possible. A special thank you goes to participants Stone (submissions) and White Shadows (submissions) for their help in preparing for round three. Good luck everyone!

On behalf of my co-coordinator Wizardman, I'd like to especially thank you for your efforts over this past month's GAN backlog elimination drive. It has been nothing short of a complete success, which hopefully results in more expedient good article reviews, increasing users' confidence in the good article nomination processes. Even if you made just a small contribution, it still helped contribute to the success of this drive. Here is what we have accomplished this last month in this drive.
For those who have accomplished certain objectives in the drive, awards will be coming shortly. Again, thank you for your help in the drive, and I hope you continue to help review GA nominations and overall improve the quality of articles here on Wikipedia. |

Hello, Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/List of Phi Kappa Psi brothers/archive1 was listed 20 days ago, and is now also listed as one of the "nominations urgently needing reviews." So far four reviewers have weighed in. All objections have been met. There are two votes of support, and none opposed. As per The Rambling Man, "typically, although not prescriptively, Dabomb or I will look for around four votes of support." He also suggested that I contact "regular reviewers" such as yourself to see if you would be willing to comment. I'm happy to address constructive criticism. Hopefully upon resolving critiques, if you believe that the list is worthy, you will also grant support. Thanks, NYCRuss ☎ 17:01, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

Hello Arsenikk. Would you be willing to re-assess the Air Greenland article? I've put quite a lot of work into it over the last year, and particularly recently, but since my initial assessment of 'start' last year, nothing has changed really, with the Wikiproject Greenland having been dead for ages. I'm not well-versed in the quality scale beyond 'start', so I have no idea if the article qualifies for C, B, or even GA level. Would you be willing to review the article? How does one go about it in general if the topic is somewhat unpopular? Regards, − Algkalv (talk) 01:30, 16 May 2010 (UTC)

Someone wrote - and photographed - an article on Norwegian Wikipedia, so I translated it, shuffled the sections around, made a selection of pics, and added in references from most of the sources you had identified at the AfD. I became convinced as I worked that only 5-8 buildings (depending how you count DnB-NOR) are Barcode, and could find nothing on MAD Architects, The RACK, or The Code, so I wound up junking the last part of Fiskepinner's list of buildings, but that material is there in the history, and I believe I have sorted out most of the rest.

I do not seek you to make a permanent decision and threat to block anyone that disagrees. I do not ask for your vote. I only ask for your analysis on whether a consensus has been reached yet.
Question 2
What is the default decision (in general, not this article) when there is no consensus. Keep in mind that, in some articles, the current version might be the POV version put in place by POV pushers. Perhaps the most neutrally written version should be used if the dispute is about facts? If about a name, this may be more difficult, because POV issues are not obvious.

We are half way through round 3, with a little under a month to go. The current overall leader is Sasata (submissions), who has 570 points. He leads pool C. Pools A, B and D are led by Hunter Kahn (submissions), Sturmvogel_66 (submissions) and White Shadows (submissions) respectively. Anything you worry may not receive the necessary attention before the end of the round (such as outstanding GA or FA nominations) is welcome at Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews, and please remember to continue offering reviews yourself where possible. As always, the judges are available to contact via email, IRC or their talk pages, and general discussion about the Cup is welcome on the WikiCup talk page.
Two of last year's final 8, Theleftorium (submissions) and Scorpion0422 (submissions), have dropped out of the competition, saying they would rather their place went to someone who will have more time on their hands than them next round. On a related note, a special thank you goes to White Shadows (submissions) for his help behind the scenes once again. There is currently a problem with the poster, perhaps caused by the new skin- take a look at this discussion and see if you can help. The competition has continued to tick over well with minimal need for judge intervention, so thank you to everyone making that possible. Good luck to all!

I recently found a radio interview with bassist Michael "Flea" Balzary on www.stadium-arcadium.com, the official Red Hot Chili Peppers fansite.

Hi, I'd like to invite you to participate in the Guild of Copy Editors July 2010 Backlog Elimination Drive. In May, about 30 editors helped remove the ((copyedit)) tag from 1175 articles. The backlog is still over 7500 articles, and extends back to the beginning of 2008! We really need your help to reduce it. Copyediting just a couple articles can qualify you for a barnstar. Serious copyeditors can win prestigious and exclusive rewards. See the event page for more information. And thanks for your consideration. monosock 18:07, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

Okay, I referenced the former touring musicians table, and divided the reference into "General" and "Specific" sections. This technique has also been used in the List of Megadeth band members, which was the template I used to create the RHCP list. Also, I found an interview with drummer Chad Smith from MusicRadar, where he confirms that Josh Klinghoffer is the official guitarist [5]. I honestly appreciate all of your hard work on this list, and I have taken all of your comments seriously. I would also like to apologize for my stubbornness earlier. I want this list to become featured, and I hope that my edits can change your mind and your vote. Thank you so much. WereWolf (talk) 18:58, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

Zaps93 is undoing my edits of Air Nigeria destinations which I updated to new table format, he and his gang of five, I will avoid naming them, have tried to hijack wikipedia and enforce their rules for the past two years in various airline related articles, so much so that at times they have even tracked my contributions list to see which other editors I have taken my complaints to, and popped into their discussion pages to respond in their usual I am lord of wikipedia fashion, if you are admin please take note or report to appropriate department or person if your're not, thanks.116.71.16.44 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 02:28, 25 June 2010 (UTC).

Sb617 has approved two styles of destinations lists for airlines at WP:Airlines, the new table and the current older bullet version which was to be phased out, dosent make sense, as I pointed out elsewhere that certain people will now use this to prevent changing list format to table because they hate it, might also undo some updated versions as happened in the air nigeria one that I brought to attention because of feeling they own the article as they crated the page, whats happening to this site cant you people stick to what you agreed on? please discuss amongst yourselves i.e admin/editors.116.71.26.119 (talk) 05:27, 28 June 2010 (UTC)

As you haven't added a continent column to them yet, I will do it now and let you know when it's done for your feedback.

Hi there. I decided that I'd go through this methodically from A-Z, sorting out as many issues as possible at once. I'll leave the lead until last- it's easier to get help with the writing when the body of an article is FL quality!
I've gotten as far as Bosnia and Herzegovina. I was wondering if you could take a quick, informal look at the countries before that, and give any suggestions on what else could be done to improve them. Regards --WFC-- 18:23, 20 July 2010 (UTC)
We are half-way through our penultimate round, and nothing is yet certain. Pool A, currently led by Sasata (submissions) has ended up the more competitive, with three contestants ( Sasata (submissions), Sturmvogel_66 (submissions) and TonyTheTiger (submissions)) scoring over 500 points already. Pool B is led by Casliber (submissions), who has also scored well over 500. The top two from each pool, as well as the next four highest scorers regardless of pool, will make it through to our final eight. As ever, anything you worry may not receive the necessary attention before the end of the round (such as outstanding GA or FA nominations) is welcome at Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews, and please remember to continue offering reviews yourself where possible. As always, the judges are available to contact via email, IRC or their talk pages, and general discussion about the Cup is welcome on the WikiCup talk page.
Planning has begun for the 2011 WikiCup, with open discussions concerning scoring and flags for next year's competition. Contributions to those discussions would be appreciated, especially concerning the flags, as next year's signups cannot begin until the flag issue has been resolved. Signups will hopefully open at some point in this round, with discussion about possible changing in the scoring/process opening some time afterwards.
Earlier this round, we said goodbye to Hunter Kahn (submissions), who has bowed out to spend more time on the book he is authoring with his wife. We wish him all the best. In other news, the start of this round also saw some WikiCup awards sent out by Suomi Finland 2009 (submissions). We appreciate his enthusiasm, and contestants are of course welcome to award each other prizes as they see fit, but rest assured that we will be sending out "official" awards at the end of the competition.

We have our final eight! The best of luck to those who remain. A bumper newsletter this week as we start our home straight.
We say goodbye to the six who fell at the final hurdle. Geschichte (submissions) only just missed out on a place in the final eight. Resolute (submissions) was not far behind. Candlewicke (submissions) was awarded top points for in the news this round. Gary King (submissions) contributed a variety of did you know articles. Suomi Finland 2009 (submissions) said "I'm surprised to have survived so far into the competition", but was extactic to see Finland in the semi-finals. Arsenikk (submissions) did not score this round, but has scored highly in previous rounds. We also say goodbye to Ian Rose (submissions), who withdrew earlier this month after spending six weeks overseas. Anyone interested in this round's results can see them here and here. Thank you to Stone (submissions) for these.
Signups for next year's competition are now open. Planning is ongoing, with a key discussion about judges for next year open. Discussion about how next year's scoring will work is ongoing, and thoughts are more than welcome at Wikipedia talk:WikiCup/Scoring. Also, TonyTheTiger is compiling some information and statistics on the finalists here- the final eight are encouraged to add themselves to the list.
Our final eight will play it out for two months, after which we will know 2010's WikiCup winner, and a variety of prizes will be awarded.

Hey, if I'm not mistaken, you were the major contributor in making this a good article? So you might be able to help me on the capacity issue. According to Molde FK's official website, total capacity is 11,800, while the seating capacity is only 10,100.

Hi, what does "prose" mean? In your GAR for FASTRA II you mentioned the word "prose" and "bullet point". What are the differences? I am currently optimizing the FASTRA II article (structuring, changing pic size, general tweaking, etc), and then I will be re-nominating that article.

We're half way through 2010, and the end of the WikiCup is in sight! Round 3 is over, and we're down to our final 16. Our pool winners were Ian Rose (submissions) (A), Sturmvogel_66 (submissions) (B, and the round's overall leader), ThinkBlue (submissions) (C) Casliber (submissions) and TonyTheTiger (submissions) (D, joint), but, with the scores reset, everything is to play for in our last pooled round.

Though unaffiliated with the WikiCup, July sees the third Great Wikipedia Dramaout- a project with not dissimilar goals to the WikiCup. Everyone is welcome to take part and do their bit to contribute to the encyclopedia itself.
If you're interested in the scores for the last round of the Cup, please take a look at Wikipedia:WikiCup/History/2010/Round 3 and Wikipedia:WikiCup/History/2010/Full/Round 3. Our thanks go to Stone (submissions) for compiling these. As was predicted, Group C ended up the "Group of Death", with 670 points required for second place, and, therefore, automatic promotion. This round will probably be even tougher- again, the top two from each of the two groups will make it through, while the twelve remaining participants will compete for four wildcard places- good luck everyone!

Hey what brings you do me editing Llanishen reservoir? Both my parents met when they used to work in Llanishen. Can you find a source and verify/proof read Austfjorden (Hordaland). I actually did Austfjorden (Svalbard) too. I saw it on the new GA pages. Excellent work!♦ Dr. Blofeld 18:34, 31 October 2010 (UTC)

The 2010 WikiCup is over! It has been a long journey, but what has been achieved is impressive: combined, participants have produced over seventy featured articles, over five hundred good articles, over fifty featured lists, over one thousand one hundred "did you know" entries, in addition to various other pieces of recognised content. A full list (which has yet to be updated to reflect the scores in the final round) can be found here. Perhaps more importantly, we have our winner! The 2010 WikiCup champion is Sturmvogel_66 (submissions), with an unbelievable 4220 points in the final round. Second place goes to TonyTheTiger (submissions), with 2260, and third to Casliber (submissions), with 560. Congratulations to our other four finalists – White Shadows (submissions), William S. Saturn (submissions), Staxringold (submissions) and ThinkBlue (submissions). Also, congratulations to Sasata (submissions), who withdrew from the competition with an impressive 2685 points earlier in this round.
Prizes will also be going to those who claimed the most points for different types of content in a single round. It was decided that the prizes would be awarded for those with the highest in a round, rather than overall, so that the finalists did not have an unfair advantage. Winning the featured article prize is Casliber (submissions), for five featured articles in round 4. Winning the good article prize is Sturmvogel_66 (submissions), for eighty-one good articles in round 5. Winning the featured list prize is Staxringold (submissions), for six featured lists in round 1. Winning the picture and sound award is Jujutacular (submissions), for four featured pictures in round 3. Winning the topic award is Sturmvogel_66 (submissions), for forty-seven articles in various good topics in round 5. Winning the "did you know" award is TonyTheTiger (submissions), for over one hundred did you knows is round 5. Finally, winning the in the news award is Candlewicke (submissions), for nineteen articles in the news in round three.
The WikiCup has faced criticism in the last month – hopefully, we will take something positive from it and create a better contest for next year. Like Wikipedia itself, the Cup is a work in progress, and ideas for how it should work are more than welcome on the WikiCup talk page and on the scoring talk page. Also, people are more than welcome to sign up for next year's competition on the signup page. Well done and thank you to everyone involved – the Cup has been a pleasure to run, and we, as judges, have been proud to be a part of it. We hope that next year, however the Cup is working, and whoever is running it, it will be back, stronger and more popular than ever. Until then, goodbye and happy editing!

You recently renamed the Stockholm commuter rail article to Stockholm Commuter Rail with reference to WP:CAPS. In that guideline, the first paragraph says: "For multiword page titles, one should leave the second and subsequent words in lowercase unless the title phrase is a proper noun that would always occur capitalized, even in the middle of a sentence.". I would say it is quite natural to keep "commuter rail" in lower-case in the middle of a sentence. Therefore, it should also be in lowercase in the title. --Kildor (talk) 16:52, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

I saw that you promoted this article to GA status last month. I am rather inexperienced with the GA process but the article strikes me as being rather far from being a GA. First, there is quite a bit of of bad writing as well as plain grammatical errors. E.g.:
And quite a few more like this. There are other apparent problems. The lede is ambiguous in terms of explaining the institutional history of the ministry. It really should make the sequence of events clear (Narkomfin of RSRSF in 1917, Narkomfin of USSR in 1923, Ministry of Finance of USSR in 1946). There are quite a few bits that read rather WP:ORish to me (like "This is also a common feature in the United States Department of Treasury, but the key difference is that the USSR was a highly centralised state, while the United States is a highly decentralised state."). The History section does not appear to be sufficiently broad. E.g. there is nothing at all about the period from 1946 to 1990. It is hard to imagine that nothing worth mentioning happened to the Ministry during that period. Also, in terms of breadth of coverage, somehow the point about the major difference between the monetary systems in the USSR (where much of the monetary system was basically fictitious) and in the western countries is never explained. My understanding is that the Ministry of Finance dealt primarily with budgets of the state enterprises, that more or less existed only on paper and were not really convertible into the physical currency that was in actual physical circulation in the country. These kind of issues really need to be explained somewhere in the article. Could you take another look at the entire article, please? Thanks, Nsk92 (talk) 06:36, 25 November 2010 (UTC)
I appreciate your creating this hierarchy. The only problem is that with the current template scheme these categories get put into by country parent categories, which is incorrect since Antarctica isn't a country. Now, having done this you run in advance of my planned project of creating a by region hierarchy to parent the newly formed establishments by country hierarchy. Unless you have the inclination to go ahead and develop the infrastructure for the by region/continent hierarchy, I propose that an immediate fix would be to subst the templates that are employed in these categories and remove country-referencing categories. Otherwise, I suspect a new set of templates need to be created (however based on the by country templates) and perhaps also that the existing templates need to be expanded to include a parameter indicating region, and the consequent categorizing into region categories. As there exist several levels of regions, however, adding these region categories manually to the country categories may be the best solution overall. __meco (talk) 09:55, 26 November 2010 (UTC)

On 14 December 2010, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Venues of the 1994 Winter Olympics, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that the location of one of the venues of the 1994 Winter Olympics at Lillehammer was moved because the original site was too close to a bird sanctuary? You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

I got your message regarding my moving relations articles, but I'm not sure what you mean. I thought the space between the dash was standard, or was supposed to be. Is this not the case? Take alook at France – United Kingdom relations or less viewed articles like Czech Republic – Libya relations. Outback the koala (talk) 19:40, 15 December 2010 (UTC)
The article Oslo Tunnel you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needed to be addressed. If these are fixed within seven days, the article will pass, otherwise it will fail. See Talk:Oslo Tunnel for things which need to be addressed. Admrboltz (talk) 20:48, 12 December 2010 (UTC)

I notice you reverted my edits of vehicle, stating "restore lost references". This is an counterproductive revert. The article is in dire need of a clean-up, for which my edit was a small step. It is hard to me to believe you even looked at my edit, which contains removal of inappropriate legal definitions in a single province (which had a different scope than the article), merging of several small and trivial sections, copyediting, removal of out-of-scope content, formatting, and removal of out-of-scope external links. The one reference that was removed, was done so of a good reason, because a legal definition from that province directly contradicts the definition of a vehicle on Wikipedia. Please be more careful with reverts in the future. Just because references are being removed, does not mean the edits are disruptive. Thank you for your understanding, Arsenikk (talk) 16:51, 22 December 2010 (UTC)
Hi,
I'm about to move my list into "article space", and I hope you won't scorn me if I throw out the disused stations from the list of Oslo Metro stations ;P. For instance, there are many other metro systems on Wikipedia that have one list about operational stations, and one about disused stations, e.g List of London Underground stations and List of closed London Underground stations (of which both are FL); List of New York City Subway stations and List of closed New York City Subway stations. I hope you'll have a very merry Christmas. --Eisfbnore talk 23:04, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

Hi. I have seen that you have updated the PyeongChang logo for the 2018 Winter Games article. I have reverted for the following reason: it is an .svg version of the old logo, unfortunately. The logo should read "Candidate city" and not "Applicant city". Hektor (talk) 07:37, 23 December 2010 (UTC)

I understand that you find the Cuisine sub-article in the Oslo article confusing. What I do not understand is that you find it appropriate to delete it because you mean the dishes and cuisine in this article must be unique to Oslo. I find this strange and I hope that we can work this out. As a capital, Oslo have not accomplished to keep those historic dishes like Bergen and Trondheim for examp. On the other hand, Oslo was once one of the major cities in Europe when it comes to clubs and restaurants. I really hope that we may showcase some of Oslos history as such a city and some of the dishes served in the quite small capital. Oslo is also unique for being such a small city and also such a multicultural city with various dishes other larger capitals have lots of. Oslo is also a capital of food with thousands of restaurants spread around the city. High-quality seafood gathered from the Oslofjord and from places like world-famous Lofoten is also unique to Oslo. In fact Oslos cuisine is unique like no other city. So please, think it over before you delete it. Regards, --FP (talk) 03:46, 25 December 2010 (UTC)

Hi Arsenikk, I've done quite a bit of updating to List of signs and symptoms of diving disorders (in no small part thanks to your comments), and wondered if you might be willing to revisit Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/List of signs and symptoms of diving disorders/archive1 to let me know if I've addressed the issues you raised.

Hi Arsenikk - I am leaving a note here to let you know that a couple of months ago, new rules regarding notifications went into effect at FAR. Now, nominators must leave a brief note detailing their concerns on the talk page of the article before initiating a FAR on the article. Because of this, I'm going to remove the nomination from the page, hide the template on the talk page, and leave a note on the talk page pointing to your concerns. If nothing happens on the article in the next week or so, the nomination can be restored - feel free to do it yourself or just drop me a note and I can do it. Thanks, and please let me know if you have any questions. Dana boomer (talk) 17:53, 2 January 2011 (UTC)

Hi Arsenikk, I just wanted to point out that you've given this photo the wrong name and description. As can be clearly seen at the National Library, the photo is of "Riksgränsen jernbanestasjon", not Bjørnfjell. Could you fix that at Commons? Also, could you have a look at the newly created Bjørnfjell Station? I've done some edits to improve it, but the railways isn't my area of expertise. Manxruler (talk) 22:58, 11 January 2011 (UTC)

Hi, Arsenikk! I just wanted to thank you for your thoughtful and detailed GA review of the Kola Peninsula article. This is my first GAN ever, so I can't say the outcome was entirely unexpected, but I admit it was a bit disheartening that the nom was failed so quickly :) Well, at least you gave me a lot of good ideas to think about and to work on (I especially appreciate the Svalbard analogy—that article would indeed serve as a good template).
I can't say I agree with all of your comments, however. While the sections on the most recent history, nature, culture, flora/fauna, and geography can certainly be improved, I don't believe the information about economy, population, transport, politics/government, and administrative divisions belongs. The peninsula comprises most of the territory of Murmansk Oblast, and I feel that the economy/population/etc. belong in the article about the oblast, not the peninsula. That said, the peninsula article can still contain a short overview of those subjects—problem is, the Murmansk Oblast article is itself is very basic and lacks coverage of many important aspects, so there's nothing to summarize.
Anyhoo, I don't know when I will have a good uninterrupted chunk of time to work on this again, but I most certainly am planning to return to that article at some point in the future. When I think I have addressed the points you have risen, do you mind if I contact you first before resubmitting the article for the GAN review?
Once again, thanks much for taking time to review this; your effort is most appreciated! Cheers,—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); January 15, 2011; 18:46 (UTC)
Hello Arsenikk.
I thought I'd try my hand at reviewing again, you did encourage me a while back, so I picked one of your nominations! I noticed it had been waiting for several months, and after reading the article I found it suitable to engage with, thus I'll be feeling my way around it. I've made a few wording changes, but I haven't made any reviewer comments yet. I'll try to get on that, but many things look fine here. Get back to me if you have anything to say, or advice if I've made a minor slip up. Thanks. Kyteto (talk) 20:50, 9 January 2011 (UTC)
Hi Arsenikk, I added a tiny bit on the geology with a ref. If you think it worth it I could do a whole (short) section on the geology. Mikenorton (talk) 20:57, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
Suggested section:-
Before the construction of the Bjorøy tunnel, the geology of the area was thought to consist entirely of metamorphic basement rocks similar to those exposed on the surrounding islands. The Jurassic sediments encountered in the tunnel included breccia and conglomerate in contact with the underlying gneisses and a sandstone with coal fragments, some of which was quite unconsolidated. Spore and pollen samples gave an Oxfordian age (Late Jurassic) for the sequence. The sedimentary rocks appear to have been deposited into an eroded depression caused by a fault zone, which later reactivated, disrupting the bedding and causing steep dips.

Since you created the single table layout can you get hold of like minded wikians who reached concensus that the table layout should be exactly like you created it, give and take a little i.e add continent/region section if you like, or drop begin/end colum if dates not available and replace with notes and not have the table broken into bits like some are doing at KLM destinations so there can be control on this matter instead ofg anyone just doing anything they like, wasnt it officialy approved to have your standard throught out, so whats happening? am I wasting my time fighting for it, discussing it here with you and reverting edits that go against the standard?116.71.31.59 (talk) 03:53, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
The advert tag has been pulled back as long as I have thought as there is information as hasn't been encyclopedic, such as the flight frequencies on routes as well as the overuse of PR material. Hope to get rid of the hidden ads now, as had been put into place by the guy that uploaded all the PR pictures, aswell as rewrote parts of the article. Btw, I do NOT feel comfortable with the usage of Norwegias routemap, as we already have a standardised svg map in usage.

Hi! Since you've been identified as an Awesome Wikipedian, I wanted to let you know about the Wikipedia Ambassador Program, and specifically the role of Online Ambassador. We're looking for friendly Wikipedians who are good at reviewing articles and giving feedback to serve as mentors for students who are assigned to write for Wikipedia in their classes.
If that sounds like you and you're interested, I encourage you to take a look at the Online Ambassador guidelines; the "mentorship process" describes roughly what will be expected of mentors during the current term, which started in January and goes through early May. If that's something you want to do, please apply!
You can find instructions for applying at WP:ONLINE. The main things we're looking for in Online Ambassadors are friendliness, regular activity (since mentorship is a commitment that spans several months), and the ability to give detailed, substantive feedback on articles (both short new articles, and longer, more mature ones).
I hope to hear from you soon.--Sage Ross - Online Facilitator, Wikimedia Foundation (talk) 01:15, 28 January 2011 (UTC)

We are half way through round one of the WikiCup. Signups are now closed, and we have 129 listed competitors, 64 of whom will make it to round two. Congratulations to The Bushranger (submissions), who, at the time of writing, has a comfortable lead with 228 points, followed by Hurricanehink (submissions), with 144 points. Four others have over 100 points. Congratulations also go to Yellow Evan (submissions), who scored the first points in the competition, claiming for Talk:Hurricane King/GA1, Miyagawa (submissions), who scored the first non-review points in the competition, claiming for Dognapping, and Jarry1250 (submissions) who was the first in the competition to use our new "multiplier" mechanic (explanation), claiming for Grigory Potemkin, a subject covered on numerous Wikipedias. Thanks must also go to Jarry1250 for dealing with all bot work- without you, the competition wouldn't be happening!
A running total of claims can be seen here. However, numerous competitors are yet to score at all- please remember to submit content soon after it is promoted, so that the judges are able to review entries. The number of points that will be needed to reach round two is not clear- everyone needs to get their entries in now to guarantee their places! If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, 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!
