Thank you for contacting me regarding the

WikiProject Poetry is having a revival and we are trying to determine who is still active in the project. If you are, please answer this roll call by placing an *asterisk* next to your name on the list of participants here. Thanks, Wrad 01:21, 6 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Moonbug!

You are cordially invited to participate in WikiProject Christianity The goal of WikiProject Christianity is to improve the quality and quantity of information about Christianity available on Wikipedia. WP:X as a group does not prefer any particular tradition or denominination of Christianity, but prefers that all Christian traditions are fairly and accurately represented.

You are receiving this invitation because you are a member of one of the related Christianity Projects and I thought that you might be interested in this project also - Tinucherian (talk) 05:06, 24 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

We'd certainly welcome content that goes into greater depth about his political views — but that should be done by adding original content that summarizes them, not just by cutting and pasting long passages from Hansard. A paragraph or two explaining the kinds of issues he's spoken about in the legislature, and thus putting them into context, would be an excellent addition to the article, if you're able to add it, but just listing quotes doesn't really add much to the encyclopedia. (If you need an example, look at the way Cheri DiNovo's article handles the $10 minimum wage campaign.) Thanks. Bearcat (talk) 07:10, 5 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Moonbug, thanks for your expansions of the Ledge Raids article....I've been meaning to "have a go" at the latest updates but between real life and distractions elsewhere in wiki-life, and also some previous experience with rescuing the article I've shied away from it...my bad, but I"m, as I've felt, too POV to have taken it on fairly (I'm a net-friend of BC Mary's, for one thing....). Even beyond this last week's revelations there's lots that's missing - the triple-whammy ministerial resignations (Clark, Collins and Plant), the Kevin de Bruckyere connection, the hounding of Victoria Chief Constable Paul Battershill, Oppal's comments in regard to the case which contradict his claim he can say nothing, Paul Nettleton's account of early proceedings in caucus re the sale, the delaying tactics in the courtroom and the unusual actions/proceedings of hte special prosecutor....and now all this. It is a bit overwhelming isn't it? It makes it and has made it all the more difficult that the "reliable sources" haven't been all that reliable and much actual news has been reported only in blogspace. I know you're only part way through your expansion so will not muddy the puddle in the article itself until you're done, and I hope the food and drink you had included a good stiff one, you'll need it. Among other things "out there" is the notion that some of the released material may include faked documents, meant to throw off the trail, and that there are still pages where the details are blanked out.

The page is a leftover from the day where lists of fictional/video game concepts were allowed, even if the topic of the list itself (terms, job classes, etc) did not receive significant coverage in reliable sources. This has changed in recent years. Because we're a general interest encyclopedia, the only way we could justify having a comprehensive list of job classes anymore would be to find lots of reviews mentioning final fantasy jobs, articles about the job classes, developers interviews about the design, and so on. If not, then we'll actually need to redirect the article to final fantasy gameplay, and maybe mention some of the common job classes in passing in that article. —Deckiller (t-c-l) 01:53, 1 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

A largely complete list of articles to be updated is at Category:Language articles citing Ethnologue 17. The priority articles are in Category:Language articles with old Ethnologue 17 speaker data. These are the 10% that have population figures at least 25 years old.

Probably 90% of the time, Ethnologue has not changed their figures between the 17th and 18th editions, so all we need to do is change "e17" to "e18" in the reference (ref) field of the language info box. That will change the citation for the artcle to the current edition. Please put the data in the proper fields, or the info box will flag it as needing editorial review. The other relevant fields are "speakers" (the number of native speakers in all countries), "date" (the date of the reference or census that Ethnologue uses, not the date of Ethnologue!), and sometimes "speakers2". Our convention has been to enter e.g. "1990 census" when a census is used, as other data can be much older than the publication date. Sometimes a citation elsewhere in the article depends on the e17 entry, in which case you will need to change "name=e17" to "name=e18" in the reference tag (assuming the 18th edition still supports the cited claim).

Remember, we want the *total* number of native speakers, which is often not the first figure given by Ethnologue. Sometimes the data is too incompatible to add together (e.g. a figure from the 1950s for one country, and a figure from 2006 for another), in which case it should be presented that way. That's one use for the "speakers2" field. If you're not sure, just ask, or skip that article.

Data should not be displayed with more than two, or at most three, significant figures. Sometimes it should be rounded off to just one significant figure, e.g. when some of the component data used by Ethnologue has been approximated with one figure (200,000, 3 million, etc.) and the other data has greater precision. For example, a figure of 200,000 for one country and 4,230 for another is really just 200,000 in total, as the 4,230 is within the margin of rounding off in the 200,000. If you want to retain the spurious precision of the number in Ethnologue, you might want to use the {{

Dates will often need to be a range of all the country data in the Ethnologue article. When entering the date range, I often ignore dates from countries that have only a few percent of the population, as often 10% or so of the population isn't even separately listed by Ethnologue and so is undated anyway.

If Ethnologue does not provide a date for the bulk of the population, just enter "no date" in the date field. But if the population figure is undated, and hasn't changed between the 17th & 18th editions of Ethnologue, please leave the ref field set to "e17", and maybe add a comment to keep it so that other editors don't change it. In cases like this, the edition of Ethnologue that the data first appeared in may be our only indication of how old it is. We still cite the 14th edition in a couple dozen articles, so our readers can see that the data is getting old.

The articles in the categories linked above are over 90% of the job. There are probably also articles that do not currently cite Ethnologue, but which we might want to update with the 18th edition. I'll need to generate another category to capture those, probably after most of the Ethnologue 17 citations are taken care of.
