i was only pasing by Beijing
I was only editing the external links on several important cities, to kill some linkspam of tourist guides, and Beijing happened to be on my list. I noticed that the Beijing article was in perfect health on that matter and way more complete than other articles, and tried to use it as guide for other cities for a while. Thanks for the offer, anyways. Cheers and good luck for your invitations --Enric Naval (talk) 20:18, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
Wikiproject Beijing
I get a lot of requests to join projects; for example, recently I was asked to join Wikiproject History of Technology due to my featured article
Although I respectfully decline your offer, I grant you the best of luck in finding members for your project.--Pericles of AthensTalk 01:29, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
You recently warned this user about his consistent spamming. He still hasn't stopped. Could you maybe take a look at the situation again? Thanks, ]
- Could you please post some specific diffs, I can't see anything to bad. Poeloq (talk) 17:32, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
- It's the fact that he keeps adding the same, blatantly POV edits again and again and again. He's been warned about the policy violations he's breaking (UNDUE, OR, NPOV), and refused to yield, let alone talk about it. ]
- I'm too unfamiliar with the pages in question to be able to judge it properly. I can only recommend to try and discuss it with him or post some very obvious diffs to me (I currently don't have the time to go through all his contribs, some of which are ok). Poeloq (talk) 17:55, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Sunday
I'm going to be a little late on Sunday, can you get the table and gather the crowds?
re: Rollback
Thanks, that was quick! Abecedare (talk) 23:32, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
- Well, checked my watchlist and saw your request. Your count is very good, no blocks and no edit warring. So no problems --> quick process :) Poeloq (talk) 23:34, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
SOAS
Hey KTC! I'm sure you had good intentions, but a quick search would have revealed that
]- Ah, I see now. The references (newspaper articles) on Sufiah page that I read only said she is studying in London, didn't specifically mentioned SOAS. I'll learn to actually google first next time... KTC (talk) 23:51, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
- No problem! Keep up the good work, Poeloq (talk) 00:08, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Re: Links
Sorry, I forgot to check back, even though you said on the top of your talk page to check back.
Anyway, some good sites for Chinese music are:
- music.yahoo.cn - you must be able to read Chinese to understand this
- sina.cn - a news site, but does have some things about music in China
- wiki.theppn.org - a Wiki, focuses on all types of Asian music
- wiki.rockinchina.com - mainly rock music though

Nice to meet you yesterday, Poeloq
The author I referred to was
- Yeah good to meet you. Get yourself signed up for Harry Wood (talk) 15:34, 18 April 2008 (UTC)]
- Or Wikipedia:Meetup/London 10, June 8th? Actually I was hoping you'd be able to help out with promoting it this time, because despite me setting it up, it looks like I may not be able to make it on June 8th myself :-( ...but I would like it if we kept momentum going for monthly events (I set it up for the same time and same place for this reason)
- Hope exams are going well!

So I'll see you on Sunday! (Turns out I can make it)... Wikipedia:Meetup/London 10 Sunday 1p.m.! -- Harry Wood (talk) 00:27, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

Wikimedia UK 2.0 Voting is open :-)
A warm hello to all those signed up as guarantor members of the soon-to-be-rebooted UK chapter! Voting is now open over at meta - there's tons of information online over there, and the mailing list has been very active too. Discussion, comment (and even the inevitable technical gremlins!) are most welcome at the meta pages, otherwise please do send in your vote/s, and tell a friend about the chapter too :-) Privatemusings (talk) 22:30, 20 September 2008 (UTC)I'm not actually involved in the election workings, and am just dropping these notes in to help try and spread the word :-) I welcome any or all comment too, but 'election related' stuff really is better suited to the meta pages :-)
How do you do it?
Poeloq, I am anxious to know how you achieved an ability to make such beautiful pages. Mine are just plain black and white, but I have been getting a few tips on color changing. What advice could you give me?
Respond at your leisure,
Jokendah

Wikimedia UK v2.0
Hello! Thanks for showing an interest in Wikimedia UK v2.0. Formation of the company is currently underway under the official name "Wiki UK Limited", and we are hoping to start accepting membership in the near future. We have been drawing up a set of membership guidelines, determining what membership levels we'll have (we plan on starting off with just standard Membership, formerly known as Guarantor Membership, with supporting membership / friends scheme coming later), who can apply for membership (everyone), what information we'll collect on the application form, why applications may be rejected, and data retention. Your input on all of this would be appreciated. We're especially after the community's thoughts on what the membership fee should be. Please leave a message on the talk page with your thoughts.
Also, we're currently setting up a monthly newsletter to keep everyone informed about the to-be-Chapter's progress. If you would like to receive this newsletter, please put your username down on this page.
Thanks again. Mike Peel (talk) 19:55, 8 November 2008 (UTC) (Membership Secretary, Wikimedia UK [Proposed])
Wiki UK Ltd Membership applications now invited!
Hello,
It gives me great pleasure to announce that Wiki UK Limited is now inviting membership applications! You can download the application form in PDF format from meta:Image:Wiki_UK_Ltd_membership_application_form.pdf
Information is given on the form about membership fees (£12/year standard, £6 for concessions); these need to be paid by cheque initially, although we hope to accept other forms of payment in the future. Applications should be submitted to me at the address given on the form. If you have any queries about the application process, please let me know.
We will formally start accepting members once we have a bank account, as we cannot process membership fees until that time. We will be submitting our application for a bank account in the very near future, and we hope to have this set up by the end of December at the latest.
Thank you for your support so far; I look forward to receiving your membership application.

Architecture and Cityscape section at Beijing
Hi, you might want to check out the talk page for Beijing, and see my comments (editing under a different user name) regarding moving the Cityscape section, which I believe is not an optimal heading...Curious how you view the matter. Thanks!--Dpr (talk) 19:07, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

- Hi Maculosae tegmine lyncis! Sorry for having deleted your newly created page, however all criteria for speedy deletion was met! I know what a stub is and have created many myself and appreciate the need for a start. However, some basic standards have to be met! Enjoy, Poeloq (talk) 00:17, 12 March 2012 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of User:Jeffmitchum

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read

A tag has been placed on User:Jeffmitchum, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
- It appears to be a clear section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing..
If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. However, even if you use one of these processes to release copyrighted material to Wikipedia, it still needs to comply with the other policies and guidelines to be eligible for inclusion. If you would like any assistance with this, you can ask a question at the help desk
- It appears to consist of writings, information, discussions, and/or activities not closely related to Wikipedia's goals. Please note that section U5 of the criteria for speedy deletion.)
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
