Boylo, absolutely wrapped with the images of Dally Messenger, Herb Steinohrt, Tom Gorman and Harry Bath. I've just raised a general question on the Project discission page as to whether we would go a little smaller in image size though I have no expertise in this area at all. Would love your help in finding more for the lots of articles I've started on long dead players. How do you find them ? -Sticks66 12:53, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
Oy vey. I don't know if you care much, but it amuses me that after I gave this one a verbal spanking on the Novels Election page, he calls me a naughty name on my talk page. What do you think; should I post his message to the Election page, to help ensure he gets even fewer votes, assuming anyone actually care enough to vote next month?

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Evelyn Marsden, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the ((dated prod))
notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add ((db-author))
to the top of Evelyn Marsden. Jmlk17 03:53, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi, Boylo, how goes it? Truth be told, I haven't a clue what has happened to the newsletter. Feydey was acting as temporary editor, so it may just be a case of lost interest. (That seems to be the story for most of the Project these days.) If you're willing, perhaps you can contact them and see if they need help with the task? Every other editor listed at Wikipedia:WikiProject Novels/Outreach is either inactive or has resigned, so more hands would certainly be great. If you need help, just let me know. María (habla conmigo) 02:07, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
Great, I hope it works! I thought the "joined by" note would be superfluous if this roll call is held annually; inactive members will therefore be weeded out on a more regular basis and there's really no need to keep track of specific joining dates for new members. Besides, I always thought it looked sloppy. Let me know if you need anything else. María (habla conmigo) 14:02, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

To tell you the truth, I'm not exactly sure. I have little time on my hands at the moment, though, so I'm not sure what to do. Again, I'm not running this joint! Ask Kevin, perhaps? He's the one that began the center. María (habla conmigo) 12:00, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
Okay, I'll try to come up something by the end of the month. I disagree about including the inactive members for the newsletter, however; wasn't this one of the reasons why we're holding the roll call? If they're inactive, they're inactive. If they want to become active, they know how to add their name to the members list. Also, there are several members who had only a handful of edits or haven't edited in months, and some here were banned as sockpuppets or have retired, etc. It's time to wipe the slate clean. What I thought we would do is remove everything aside from the active members list (both "incumbent" and "inactive") at the end of the month. That way, when someone joins the project, we can add their name to the list of newsletter receivers. It's confusing to have them do so, and they most probably won't know they have to, even with that helpful note on the members page. I can keep an eye on the members list and do the upkeep. What do you think? María (habla conmigo) 14:19, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

The newsletter looks great! I updated the election page, but you should take a look just to make sure everything is running okay. I'm not sure of the timing/duration of the election/voting process, so let me know what you think about that. Also, do you plan on running? María (habla conmigo) 12:23, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
Hi Boylo. Isn't the decommissioning of the subscriber list a bit abrupt? Many people on the list who are not also on the project members list will not receive the next newsletter and, given the spotty production of late, may not even notice. Perhaps you could send the newsletter to a superset of the two lists for the next couple of issues and include a note asking people to sign up as members if they don't want to miss out on future issues. Just a thought. --Regents Park (sniff out my socks) 02:55, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

No strong opinions. However "left" near or with the Major characters section would seem about right. Or if not left then move some of the other images to the left to balance things. :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page)/(Desk) 13:16, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
Hi, I have been around this project for quite some time now. Bit of a hiatus earlier this year, but back now just contributing. The Novels WikiProject wasn't started by me but my interest in the subject initially attracted me to what was here. It has develop substantially in the last few years and now takes in all forms of Narrative Prose Fiction within its scope. We are about the content not the format of the prose so WP:Books differs a little in that an implied format is entailed; also they can also focus more clearly on non-fiction. WP:Literature are the "new boys on the block" and are a little more focused on the "quality" aspects of literature, and again they have less emphasis on pure fiction and the prose aspect. Our biggest problem is to maintain a certain focus of interest across such a broad subject area and we need workers who can develop task forces, teams for assessment, teams for peer review and so much more. "So much to do, so little time, I'm late, I'm late, I'm late" to misquote from Alice in Wonderland.
Will that do the job! :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page)/(Desk) 11:10, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

The first play-off game at Knowsley Road could be the last game to be played there. It's looking likely that not that many more games will be played at Knowsley Road, Belle Vue, The Willows or Wheldon Road and we have very few free-to-use images of them (although the ones we have, particularly of Wheldon Road are very good). I wouldn't like to see our material on these historic grounds go the same way as the very limited material we have for the historic Boulevard Ground, Thrum Hall or the Parkside Ground. If you will be at the next play-off game at Knowsely Road or if you are able to get any pictures of these grounds I would be very gratefull if you could upload them to commons. I can sort out the categories and such if you don't have any time. Alternatively if you know of anyone who could it would be much appreciated. I am unlikely to go to any away games next season because of my current circumstances so will not be able to contribute towards this, although I shall endevour to get some great images at home games (I've a load of the CC final to upload but there sat it a very long backlog).

Thank you for uploading File:Evelyn marsden titanic.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.
If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.
Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Hi, Wikipedia:WikiProject Oceania/The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Australia/The 5000 Challenge are up and running based on Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge which has currently produced over 2300 article improvements and creations. The Australia challenge would feed into the wider region one and potentially New Zealand could have a smaller challenge too. The main goal is content improvement, tackling stale old stubs and important content and improving sourcing/making more consistent but new articles are also welcome if sourced. I understand that this is a big goal for regular editors, especially being summertime where you are, but if you'd like to see large scale quality improvements happening for Oceania and Australia like The Africa Destubathon, which has produced over 1700 articles in 5 weeks, sign up on the page. The idea will be an ongoing national editathon/challenge for the region but fuelled by a series of contests to really get articles on every province and subject mass improved. The Africa contest scaled worldwide would naturally provide great benefits to Oceania countries, particularly Australia and attract new editors. I would like some support from existing editors here to get the Challenges off to a start with some articles to make doing a Destubathon worthwhile and potentially bring about hundreds of improvements in a few weeks through a contest! Cheers.♦ --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 02:12, 24 November 2016 (UTC)
