The way to contact Fluffernutter is to do just as you have done - post on here his talk page. You do not need a "helpme" to attract his attention, he will see any new messages, if you put them at the bottom of the page. New messages at random places in the middle of the page may well be missed. Also, it helps keep conversations clear if you remember to sign your messages with four "tilde" characters ~~~~ which the system will turn into a signature with your username and the time and date - like this --JohnCD (talk) 17:53, 29 June 2011 (UTC)

Greetings from the Guild of Copy Editors The latest GOCE backlog elimination drive is under way! It began on 1 July and so far 18 people have signed up to help us reduce the number of articles in need of copyediting. This drive will give a 50% bonus for articles edited from the GOCE requests page. Although we have cleared the backlog of 2009 articles there are still 3,935 articles needing copyediting and any help, no matter how small, would be appreciated. We are appealing to all GOCE members, and any other editors who wish to participate, to come and help us reduce the number of articles needing copyediting, as well as the backlog of requests. If you have not signed up yet, why not take a look at the current signatories and help us by adding your name and copyediting a few articles. Barnstars will be given to anyone who edits more than 4,000 words, with special awards for the top 5 in the categories: "Number of articles", "Number of words", and "Number of articles of over 5,000 words". >>> Sign-up now <<<

I'm sure you're very good at spelling and English, but the fact remains that it's not appropriate to change spellings on Wikipedia the way you did. As long as you implement British spellings only on British articles (or articles that are written in British English), you should be fine, but if you keep changing them on other articles, you could run into trouble.

Hi Fluffernutter; on the edit to the introduction you reverted an assertion that's borne out by the citation that follows, that the subject never served in the army. I think the passage could be re-added and rephrased to meet NPOV. Thanks, 99.0.82.226 (talk) 18:09, 19 July 2011 (UTC)

Hm, I'm not really involved or willing to get involved with the article at the moment - I just reverted it to the last version I could find from before that epic edit-war started up. Your best option is probably to propose your change on the article's talk page and see if people who watch the article have an opinion about whether to re-insert that material. A fluffernutter is a sandwich! (talk) 18:12, 19 July 2011 (UTC)

I'm not involved there either, but both the article and the talk page appear to be long-term battlegounds, with the article's subject or someone sympathetic persistently removing such information. Since I can't edit the article, I'm just asking that you have another look at the source, and the claim which links to it. Cheers, 99.0.82.226 (talk) 18:15, 19 July 2011 (UTC)

A vandal has repeatedly edited the Harold Covington article with false information claiming he was in the Rhodesian Military. The source that cites this says that he was not. The discussion page for this article has been repeatedly vandalized as well.

As I said above, the correct thing to do now is to STOP REVERTING EACH OTHER (for those of you who have been) and TALK. On the article's talk page. Not here, and not by undoing each other's edits, but on

) 18:20, 19 July 2011 (UTC)

Indeed. I've supported the above contention at the article talk page--as it stands the source contradicts current text. But the point here is to double check connections between content and sources before reverting. 99.0.82.226 (talk) 18:23, 19 July 2011 (UTC)

I've tried to use the talk page but my posted are deleted from there and the page continues to be changed by someone else. Obviously they don't want to talk about it and only want to have an edit war. I've tried to have other mods lock the article but they havent taken action. It's blatant vandalism. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.47.11.81 (talk) 18:26, 19 July 2011 (UTC)

Is this going to be corrected? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.47.11.81 (talk) 18:45, 19 July 2011 (UTC)

As I've already said, repeatedly, your dispute will not be resolved here. You must engage on the article's talk page. I have neither the power nor the willingness to fix this dispute for you; you have to do it yourself, by discussing with your fellow editors. A fluffernutter is a sandwich! (talk) 18:48, 19 July 2011 (UTC)

I can't dispute this with a biased editor who only wants to further someone's image instead of provide accurate information. The article is locked anyway. I didn't think that it would take a genius to see that he hasn't served in the Rhodesian military. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.47.11.81 (talk) 18:57, 19 July 2011 (UTC)

I already posted this issue in the discussion a few days ago by the way. Instead of a dicussion it was deleted and the article was continually vandalized. What do you suggest I do? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.47.11.81 (talk) 19:09, 19 July 2011 (UTC)

Hi,

My name is Victor Grigas and I'm a Storyteller at the Wikimedia Foundation. We're exploring new ways to explain why Wikipedia is so special and we’ve started a Wikipedia Stories Project, where we’re chronicling the inspiring stories of the Wikipedia community, especially editors and active contributors in the movement like you. I'll be traveling to Wikimania next month to collect stories for our 2011 Fundraiser. While there I'd love the chance to meet with you and hear your thoughts about Wikipedia. We’ll have a schedule of available times for you to sign up if you’re interested, but right now, we’d like to make the initial contact to gauge your interest. Please let me know by emailing me at [email protected] or responding on my talk page.

thank you,

Thank you for getting back to me so promptly! I look forward to speaking with you. We're going to have 45 minute time slots available to us at Wikimania, so scheduling will be key. At your earliest convenience, I'd like to have a chat over the phone or over Skype to go over the topics we will discuss in the interview. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.

See you in Haifa!

Hello Fluffernutter, I have been editing the Chuck Muth page. I was not familiar with the coatrack issue. My intention was not to make the page a coatrack. The content I am including is relavent to Muth's political career. If possible could you explain to me how I can include this information without making it a coatrack.

Hello Fluffernutter, I have been editing the Chuck Muth page. The information I've included was not meant to be a coatrack. It is relevant information in Muth's political career. Could you give me some pointers so that it will not be a coatrack? Thanks.

Poseidon246 (talk) 21:06, 20 July 2011 (UTC)

Hi, I'm not sure if there's a way to add the information you want to add without it being a coatrack. Basically, the Muth article is supposed to be about Muth. The stuff you're adding is about another person, who has some vague link to Muth but isn't Muth, and you're adding a whole paragraph about how that other person is bad and committed crimes, etc. This has nothing to do with Muth unless Muth was involved in the crimes. The only connection to Muth at all in the text you're adding is that Muth supposedly "took up the cause" of this other guy. What does that mean? What bearing does it have on Muth and his career? Does it have anything to do with his political career? Is it really a notable event in the overarching career of Muth, or is it just a matter of his name having been linked with someone who got in trouble? Are you adding it because you think the event is important to Muth's story, from a neutral perspective, or because you think Muth should be punished in some form for "taking up the cause" of someone who committed illegal acts?

Basically, what you're adding is, in its current form, never going to be ok to put in the Muth article. It's possible that, with some extensive re-working, you could come up with something that explains why the information is relevant to Muth and add a sentence about the situation, but right now there's nothing in what you added that seems to show that the information is relevant to Muth.

I am the web author for Ann Rule. I am not a Wikipedia editor. Friday July 22nd was my first time trying to interact within Wikipedia on a level other than just reading various topics. I saw an entry on Ann Rule's Wikipedia site that was "Contentious material about living persons that is unsourced or poorly sourced must be removed immediately, especially if potentially libelous or harmful." I found a way to remove it. I now know there are more proper (and quite well documented) ways to go about addressing this sort of thing.

Rick Swart's References on Ann Rule's Wikipedia site need to be removed. It has been discovered by the "source" (Seattle Weekly)and by one of Wikipedia editors that Rick Swart's article was at least flawed and "Contentious material about living persons that is unsourced or poorly sourced". Please remove the 2 links on Ann Rule's Wikipedia Reference Section.

Even though it's been quiet on-wiki, the Wikipedia Ambassador Program has been busy over the last few months getting ready for the next term. We're heading toward over 80 classes in the US, across all disciplines. You'll see courses start popping up

In the meantime, with a little help I've identified all the articles students did significant work on in the last term. Many of the articles have never been assessed, or have ratings that are out of date from before the students improved them. Please help assess them! Pick a class, or just a few articles, and give them a rating (and add a relevant WikiProject banner if there isn't one), and then update the list of articles.

Once we have updated assessments for all these articles, we can get a better idea of how quality varied from course to course, and which approaches to running Wikipedia assignments and managing courses are most effective.
