I didn't realize that the two equal sign level header would cause issues with other things. I'm glad that you caught it and in the future, I'll try to remember that.Naraht (talk) 20:38, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
Do you remember that conversation we had on IRC a while ago, about me improving on the Alden J. Blethen article? Well, I think that I finally have time to put some thought into writing it, but I have completely forgotten the entire conversation. :) If you have forgotten, I basically didn't really know where to start with writing it, and that kind of thing... So if you could dig up some halfway-decent advice, I would really appreciate it. Oh, and reply here, by the way. Hi878 (talk) 00:38, 4 June 2010 (UTC)
I'm trying to make a Wikipedia page for a guy named Jeffrey Wisenbaugh. He's a TV personality and popular YouTuber. But you keep denying my submission due to "unreliable sources". Amoung the sources I've listed are Big Ten Network and State News. Both are well-known new sources. So how exactly are my sources unreliable? I mean, what kind of source do I need to get before you'll publish the page? The New York Times? It's not like I'm trying to make a page for myself, or for some unknown person. Jeffrey Wisenbaugh is well known in the internet community. Thanks.

Is this a copyright problem? This is a diff between an AfC submission (declined as a copyvio of [1]) and a subsequent userspace draft: [2]. I would like you to help me compare the web site to the current draft. PleaseStand (talk) 19:33, 4 June 2010 (UTC)
The years passed, and inevitably the number of GAR members diminished. In 1926, the two remaining GAR posts merged to become the Gorman-Culver Post #13. (6) The United Spanish War veterans began using the Hall: in 1954, the John McEwen Camp No. 6 of the United Spanish War Veterans made use of the hall to celebrate their 56th anniversary. But eventually, the Spanish War Veterans, too, dwindled in number.
is too close to the site. As is the last sentence, "Veterans' Memorial Hall is maintained by the St. Louis County Historical Society and the military service veterans from the Arrowhead region." Overall, it seems OK, but the user still needs to reword some parts. —fetch·comms 19:46, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

I was looking for someone I could ask to do this and you're a familiar name. (From User:Mono's talk page, I think) Anyway, I'm interested in having my userpage renovated a bit. Most of the info I want is on there, but if it could be made pretty and formatted better, I would love that! Here are my ideas so far:
Now, here's the catch. I would like the same general color and design on my talk page. Could you do that? Really, none of it has to be fancy.

Cit helper (talk) 02:59, 10 June 2010 (UTC)
Would you mind revisiting this AfD and expanding your nomination reasons? "129 hits on Bing" is not a valid reason, in and of itself, for deletion. The circumstances under which an article can be deleted are set out at WP:DEL#REASON. You may have been intending to suggest the article fails WP:N by not having significant coverage in reliable independent sources. In that case you need to explicitly say that, then assert you've made good faith searches looking for such coverage which were unsuccessful. 129 hits on Bing (and why do you use Bing instead of Google?) tells us nothing about whether those hits are or are not significant coverage in reliable independent sources.

I am a bit confused about your only brief question here. As I think you understood, I needed help because someone had removed several [citation needed] tags from a biography without adding any citations. I am sincerely sorry if I was wrong to use the ((help)) tag. What should I have done? SergeWoodzing (talk) 21:17, 10 June 2010 (UTC)
Thank you very much for signing up for the July Backlog Elimination Drive! The copyedit backlog stretches back two and a half years, all the way back to the beginning of 2008! We're really going to need all the help we can to get it down to a manageable number. We've ambitiously set a goal of clearing all of 2008 from the backlog this month. In order to do that, we're going to need more participants. Is there anyone that you can invite or ask to participate with you? If so, we're offering an award to the person who brings in the most referrals. Just notify ɳorɑfʈ Talk! or Diannaa TALK of who your referrals are. Once again, thanks for your support!

Re. WP:FEED, new system; I really want to get this implemented ASAP, but the size of the current page has crept back up.
The demo isn't quite perfect, but to be honest, if we wait until it is, nothing will happen. We need to boldly implement it.
To do that, first of all, we need to clear things.
So, can you please help me by moving any and all feedback into the archive, and tell the users with a note, something like this one.
The move-over to the new method will be much easier if we clear things down.
I'm going to ask others for help, and try to get help with the transclusions stuff too.
Sorry this is a bit of a long message; I think it's important to sort this out, ASAP - and I need help with it.
Thanks, Chzz ► 03:43, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

Hi and thanks for your time reviewing the Vishay Intertechnology article. I see that you removed a lot of the content i added. This content was requested on the article's talk page. Please can you advise why you removed? --Lindseyrose (talk) 08:41, 21 June 2010 (UTC)
With regards to the product list you removed, it is technical information, not promotional information, and is of genuine interest to design engineers and other individuals who want to know, in detail, about Vishay’s product portfolio. This does not include any subjective information. As for the acquisition list, again, this is objective, factual information that is of genuine interest to individuals who wish to learn more about Vishay. It does not include any subjective information. Furthermore, as Vishay is a publicly traded company, the information needs to be made freely available to interested parties. Please can you consider reverting?? --Lindseyrose (talk) 08:43, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

I have switched the references of specific models over to ((cite mac)), which includes link to Apple and a third party. I am willing to source or sandbox (remove with the hope of finding a source later) any piece of uncited information yo indicate, and I'm ready to do it now.

Originally, the hardware architecture was so closely tied to the Mac OS operating system that it was impossible to boot an alternative operating system. The most common workaround, used even by Apple for A/UX, was to boot into Mac OS and then to hand over control to a program that took over the system and acted as a boot loader. This technique was no longer necessary with the introduction of Open Firmware-based PCI Macs, though it was formerly used for convenience on many Old World ROM systems due to bugs in the firmware implementation.[citation needed] Now, Mac hardware boots directly from Open Firmware or EFI, and Macs are no longer limited to running just the Mac OS X.
Apple directly sub-contracts hardware production to Asian original equipment manufacturers such as Asus, maintaining a high degree of control over the end product. By contrast, most other companies (including Microsoft) create software that can be run on hardware produced by a variety of third-parties, like Dell, HP/Compaq, and Lenovo. Consequently, the Macintosh buyer has comparably fewer options.

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. The pools will be up before midnight tonight, and have been selected randomly by J Milburn. This will be the toughest round yet, and so, 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.
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!
