Hey, Eddie do you think it can be possible to approve a "disambiguation-repair" funtion for Boricuabot? the thing is that Russbot has been "fixing" a lot of disambig of "Puerto Rican" but instead of doing it to
Puerto Rican people which is the correct destination he has been redirecting them to Puerto Rico (see here) I notified this to Russ about a week ago but he took no action and fixing all of those manually is certainly going to be a epic task. - Caribbean~H.Q. 23:17, 21 April 2008 (UTC)[reply

Hello, I have been trying to edit some of the grammatical errors for this article. Everytime I correct something, it is quickly reverted back to an incorrect form by user: marcus bowen. I understand his/her passion for this article, but I am only attempting to elevate its quality by correcting very simple, yet obvious errors. Do you have any advice on how to keep my corrections intact without involving myself in an edit war with the other user? Thank you. --Startstop123 (talk) 14:03, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
Hi, following up, I now understand some of the motives behind the reverts of my corrections. I believe this confusion could have been avoided if the user would have provided edit summaries for all his/her contributions. If this was done in the past, as well as from hereon, everyone would be aware and able to correctly give credit to the user. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Startstop123 (talk • contribs) 15:04, 22 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

GA Topic
Do you know what a GA topic is? If you are not nodding your head, or don't know what I'm talking about, then you should pay attention to this article.
There are ten GA top-level topics (but you will spot the eleventh as this article goes along). These topics are: Arts, Language and literature, Philosophy and religion, Everyday life, Social sciences and society, Geography and places, History, Engineering and technology, Mathematics, and Natural sciences. Each of these topics are further narrowed down to more specific topics. For example, Arts can be narrowed down to Art and architecture, Music, and Theatre, film and drama. But let's not get into sub-topics in this article because of its depth.
Now you will probably ask, "I already knew this, so what is your point?" What I want to illustrate is that some people often forget a step when they promote an article to GA. After they have posted their review in the article talk page, added the article name to the corresponding topic in the
on this page as well as what each top-level GA topic means, because sometimes it can be chaotic and confusing to pick a topic. For example, should On the Origin of Species
be placed under the Natural Science topic (because it's related to evolution), or under the Language and Literature topic (because it is a book)? The correct answer is to place it under Language and literature topic, because its categorization as a proper title supercedes other categories.
Let's go back to
ArticleHistory
}} will be placed in this category. The topic "Uncategorized" is not very informative, is it? So if you have time, you can consider cleaning up the articles that are left in this category and move them to the appropriate category by adding a topic parameter.
That's it for this month, I hope you learned a little from it.
GA Sweeps Update
The GA Sweeps process is progressing nicely! During the month of April, a total of 26 articles were reviewed. Of that total, 15 were found to continue to meet the
GA criteria
, and two were delisted. There are currently six articles that are still on hold in this process, awaiting revisions. One article was exempted from review because it was promoted to FA. Two articles were exempted from review because they were already delisted by another member in the community.
We are once again recruiting new sweeps participants. Candidates should be very strong and comfortable in reviewing GA and familiar with the GA processes and
criteria. If you are interested, please contact OhanaUnited
for details.

New GA Review Process - Review Subpages
In case you haven't noticed, we initiated a new process for GA Reviews at the end of last month. The {{GA nominee}} template was modified to direct new reviews initiated on an article to begin on a subpage of article talkspace (e.g. [[Talk:Article/GA#]], where '#' is the current number of GA reviews conducted for the article, incremented automatically, starting with 1). The primary reason for this change is to address some concerns made by several Wikipedians that previous GA reviews are not easily accessible in archives, the way that featured article reviews and peer reviews are, since the review is conducted on the article's talkspace, instead of in a subpage of the featured article space or peer review space. The reason we opted to move GA reviews to article talkspace (instead of GA space) is to better maintain the personal relationship between editor(s) and reviewer(s) by keeping reviews done in an area where editors can easily access it. Nonetheless, we still desired to have better archiving and maintenance of past reviews, so that GA ultimately becomes more accountable.
When an article is nominated, the nominator adds the template using a substitution, by adding {{subst:GAN|subtopic=<name of subtopic for article at GAN>}}, as well as lists the article (as usual) at
WP:GAN
in the appropriate category.
When a reviewer initiates a review of an article, all that needs to be done is to read the template on the article's {{
ArticleHistory
}} template, linking to the GA review subpage with the 'action#link' parameter.
Did You Know...
... that there are slightly more than twice as many
Featured Articles
?
... that Giggy has some really neat and useful tools to assist reviewers in conducting their reviews?
... that there are ten experienced reviewers listed on the
GA mentors list
that can offer assistance or a second opinion in reviewing articles?

Your monobook.js file
Hi, I was wondering if I could get you to make a slight edit to your monobook.js file. You have the template {{WPAFC}} in the file. This is causing your monobook.js file to show up in Category:Unassessed AFC articles. Could you possibly edit the code to give it a Proj class so it doesn't show up in the category? This would be: {{WPAFC|class=Proj}}. Thanks! Redfarmer (talk) 19:41, 9 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Stub templates
Hi Agüeybaná. I hope you don't mind that I
stub templates on your sandbox page and removed the category links; I did this so that your page doesn't turn up in a load of categories of articles for editors to expand (only articles are supposed to be stubs). Grutness...wha? 23:38, 17 November 2008 (UTC)[reply

Signpost updated for November 17, 2008 and before.
Because the Signpost hasn't been sent in a while, to save space, I've condensed all seven issues that were not sent into this archive. Only the three issues from November are below.
Msgj and Tnxman307 are organising the AfC challenge! It's a little competition to help improve some of the articles created through AfC and we are hoping that everyone will get involved. For level 1, you just need to bring a stub up to Start-class. Level 2 is improving a Start-class article to C-class. And so on. To get involved or for more information please see the competition page.
Those of you who haven't reviewed an article recently might not have noticed the new process that was implemented this year. Reviewing articles is now more enjoyable than ever :) You might like to give it a try. All articles waiting for review are in Category:Pending Afc requests. (Please read the updated instructions.)
Please consider adding {{
AFC status
}} to your userpage to keep track of the number of articles waiting for review. At the time of writing we are officially backlogged, so help is needed!
. The rationale is that both processes are designed to allow unregistered users to take part more fully in Wikipedia, and partipants in each process can probably help each other.

Hello, I hope you are doing well. I am sending you this message since you are listed as a GA reviewer. I would like to invite you to consider helping with the GA sweeps process. Sweeps helps to ensure that the oldest GAs still meet the criteria, and improve the quality of GAs overall. Unfortunately, last month only two articles were reviewed. This is definitely a low point after our peak at the beginning of the process when 163 articles were reviewed in September 2007. After nearly two years, the running total has just passed the 50% mark. In order to expediate the reviewing, several changes have been made to the process. A new worklist has been created, detailing which articles are left to review. All exempt and previously reviewed articles have already been removed from the list. Instead of reviewing by topic, you can consider picking and choosing whichever articles interest you.
We are always looking for new members to assist with the remaining articles, so if you are interested or know of anybody that can assist, please visit the GA sweeps page. In addition, for every member that reviews 100 articles or has a significant impact on the process, s/he will get an award when they reach that threshold. If only 14 editors achieve this feat starting now, we would be done with Sweeps! Of course, having more people reviewing less articles would be better for all involved, so please consider asking others to help out. Feel free to stop by and only review a few articles, something's better than nothing! Take a look at the list, and see what articles interest you. Let's work to complete Sweeps so that efforts can be fully focused on the backlog at GAN. If you have any questions about the process, reviewing, or need help with a particular article, please contact me or OhanaUnited and we'll be happy to help. --Happy editing!
