Regarding your addition of the cleanup notice to Banana slug
I'm slightly skeptical about your choice to add a cleanup tag to the Banana slug article, I'll be open minded about how we can improve the article. In any case, it would be helpful if you described what needs to be cleaned up on the article's talk page. Thanks! — Ambush Commander(Talk) 22:09, August 5, 2005 (UTC)
APA reference templates
Thanks for your comments regarding my use of the book reference template. It's very clear that you understand the relevant concerns at a far greater level of detail than I do, and I certainly accept your judgement on these matters. It will take me a while to fully digest your explanation and to examine the policy pages you cite. (I had looked at some of them a few months ago, but it looks like some of the discussion/explanation has been expanded since then.) If it would be wise to revert or adjust the change I made to use
I think if there are deficiencies in the template that these should repaired if possible. Editions for chess references is an interesting issue. In most cases that I know of, the edition isn't particularly important since we don't generally give page or even chapter references in chess articles, and most chess books change relatively little between editions. In important cases where the edition really does matter, it's often part of the title, as with Modern Chess Openings. The one area where I think it could really help is chess books that have been reprinted for many years. For example,
References
At Henry Darger, you moved the "Further reading" into the "References" section. "References" are materials actually consulted in the writing of the article. I added some of the "Further reading" listings myself, but I can tell you in all honesty that I have not read them. If you've actually consulted them and used them in the article, or if policy about these headings has changed and I missed it, please let me know. Otherwise, I think this edit was wrong and should be reverted. -- Jmabel | Talk 05:01, September 4, 2005 (UTC)
- Hi there,
- Actually, this is a tricky issue since the References vs Further Readingfor ensamples of confusion over the matter.)
- First, in "Why are references so important", we have:
- To credit a source for providing useful information.
- To provide more information or further reading.
- Then, in Citations in the text:
- "Under the ==References== heading, list the complete reference information as a bulleted (*) list, one per reference work.
- ...
- It is often preferable to have a few general references to authoritative overviews of a subject, such as textbooks and review articles, rather than a large number of specific in-text citations for individual facts."
- Together, these guidelines seem to suggest one to include both direct information sources and general references in a References section. In the argument cited above, it's clear that some users disagree or are unsure. One could interpret the Style guidelines to imply that if your article is empirically sound and perfectly balanced, it should agree with the general, authoritative resources on the matter, and therefore—ideally—it shouldn't necessary to separate works cited and general references. However, that is not my personal contention. Pragmatic Wikipedians (myself included) routinely elect to separate these materials, but they do so inconsistently. Some users understand References to mean "further reading", and use Sources instead of References; others understand References to mean Sources, and therefore apply it alongside Further reading (as was the case here). When weighing these two approaches, consider that the Cite sourcespage itself employs a References section replete with general references. For these and other reasons, I have no qualms about putting standard texts into References.
- Therefore, for the case in point, I would recommend leaving all book citations in References, and moving the Schjeldahl article to External links. There are very few books in English on Darger, and no one knows much about him; every biography and treatise in the list at this point is a standard text. Finally, in answer to your question: yes, I am personally familiar with some of the source materials cited in the References section. — Ringbang 06:17, 4 September 2005 (UTC)

Offenbach
Hi, I'm writing to explain why I have reverted Offenbach to the version with French capitalization of the titles.
The reason for this is that we are using French (German, Italian etc.) capitalization (consistently) for opera titles. The guidlelines for operas are explained on the Opera Project main page Wikipedia:WikiProject Opera. As you will have seen we are using some English titles and those obviously follow English capitalization rules. Regards.
Kleinzach 17:10, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
- Hi, thanks for the note. However, I didn't change the capitalization from French to English form, I corrected the use of French capitalization. Please read the note I wrote about it on Talk:Jacques Offenbach; I think you'll find that my corrections are appropriate for the French language. – Ringbang 17:19, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
Hi. I have now replied to your comment on the Offenbach talk page. While I agree with the (American?) writer on the About.com page about there being different ways of capitalizing French, I think if you look at what we have been doing - over some time and many pages - you will see that we have been using one of them.
We follow the French style used by the publishers Macmillan & Co. when they produced the

Regarding your "bonobo" edit
Please find me the citation that the idea that bonobos are a "third human" is widely accepted. That's what I thought: there aren't any. All this was, was a publicity stunt by chimpanzee researchers seeking to gain focus for preservation efforts. And while preservation efforts are laudable, marketing is NOT science.
SCIENCE shows that humans and chimpanzees are LESS similar than previously thought:
http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=human-chimp-gene-gap-wide
So, if you don't like a "tacked on" balancing point of view, I suggest you rewrite the entire section, noting that ideas of chimpanzees as "humans" are nowhere near scientific consensus or validity.

GOCE Backlog Elimination Drive Wrap-up
Greetings from the Guild of Copy Editors July 2010 Backlog Elimination Drive. Thanks to all who participated in the drive! Over 100 editors—including Jimbo Wales —signed up this time (nearly triple the participants of the May drive). This benefited the Guild as well as the articles in need of copy editing. You can see from the comparison graphs that we increased the number of completed copyedits substantially. Unfortunately, we were not able to meet our goal of completely wiping out 2008 from the queue. We also were not able to reduce the backlog to less than 6,000 articles. We suspect people were busy with real life summertime things, at least in the northern hemisphere! We were able to remove the months of January, February, March, April, and May from the backlog, and we almost wiped out the month of June. We reduced the backlog by 1,289 articles (17%), so all in all it was a very successful drive, and we will be holding another event soon. We'll come up with some new ideas to try to keep things fresh and interesting. Keep up the good work, everybody!

The goals for this drive are to eliminate 2008 from the queue and to reduce the backlog to fewer than 5,000 articles. Sign-up has already begun at the September drive page, and will be open throughout the drive. If you have any questions or concerns, please leave a message on the drive's talk page.

The drive will begin on 1 November at 00:00 (UTC) and will end on 30 November at 23:59 (UTC). The goal for this drive is to reduce the backlog by 10% (approximately 500 articles). We hope to focus our efforts on the oldest three months (January, February, and March 2009) and the newest three months (September, October, and November 2010) of articles in the queue. Sign-up has already begun at the November drive page, and will be open throughout the drive. If you have any questions or concerns, please leave a message on the drive's talk page. Before you begin copy-editing, please carefully read the instructions on the main drive page. Please make sure that you know how to copy-edit, and be familiar with the Wikipedia Manual of Style.

We have reached the midway point in our backlog elimination drive, so here is an update. Participation report — The November drive has 53 participants at this point. We had 77 participants in the September drive. In July, 95 people signed up for the drive, and in May we had 36. If you are not participating, it is not too late to join! Progress report — The drive is quite successful so far, as we have already almost reached our target of a 10% reduction in the number of articles in the backlog. We are doing very well at keeping our Requests page clear, as those articles count double for word count for this drive. Please keep in mind the possibility of removing other tags when you are finished with an article. If the article no longer needs {{cleanup}}, {{wikify}}, or other similar maintenance tags, please remove them, as this will make the tasks of other WikiProjects easier to complete. Thanks very much for participating in the Drive, and see you at the finish line!

Guild of Copy Editors January 2011 backlog elimination drive
Greetings from the Guild of Copy Editors January 2011 Backlog elimination drive ! The drive is halfway over, so here are some mid-drive stats.
So far, 43 people have signed up for this drive. Of these, 25 have participated. If you signed up for the drive but haven't participated yet, it's not too late! Try to copy edit at least a few articles. Remember, if you have rollover words from the last drive, you will lose them if you do not participate in this drive. If you haven't signed up for the drive yet, you can sign up now.
We have eliminated two months from the backlog – January and February 2009. One of our goals is to eliminate as many months as possible from the 2009 backlog. Please help us reduce the size of this part of the backlog if you haven't already. Another goal is to reduce the entire backlog by 10%, or by 515 articles. Currently, we have eliminated 375 articles from the queue, so if each participant copy edits four more articles, we will reach that goal. Thank you for participating in the January 2011 drive. We anticipate it will be another big success! Your drive coordinators –S Masters (talk), Diannaa (Talk), The UtahraptorTalk to me, and Tea with toast (Talk) |

The article Ann Dunnigan has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- Not notable - translators aren't inherently notable, and she has not achieved notability in any other field. The NYT ref is her obituary, which is not enough on it's own to establish notability.

GOCE drive invitation
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". |

Sugar pine
Hello Ringbang. I moved the article as you requested. I see that the spelling within the article also needs fixing (Sugar Pine should be replaced by Sugar pine, or sugar pine). Do you have time to take care of that? Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 20:26, 29 July 2011 (UTC)
- See User talk:Hesperian#Sugar pine. It seems that moving the article yet again, to Pinus lambertiana, is best. Would you be happy with that? If you disagree, can you leave a comment at User talk:Hesperian? Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 21:46, 29 July 2011 (UTC)

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".

Guild of Copy Editors March 2012 backlog elimination drive update
Greetings from the Guild of Copy Editors March 2012 Backlog elimination drive ! Here's the mid-drive newsletter.Participation: We have had 58 people sign up for this drive so far, which compares favorably with our last drive, and 27 have copy-edited at least one article. If you have signed up but have not yet copy-edited any articles, please consider doing so. Every bit helps! If you haven't signed up yet, it's not too late. Join us! Progress report: Our target of completing the 2010 articles has almost been reached, with only 56 remaining of the 194 we had at the start of the drive. The last ones are always the most difficult, so thank you if you are able to help copy-edit any of the remaining articles. We have reduced the total backlog by 163 articles so far. Special thanks: Special thanks to Stfg, who has been going through the backlog and doing some preliminary vetting of the articles—removing copyright violations, doing initial clean-up, and nominating some for deletion. This work has helped make the drive a more pleasant experience for all our volunteers.
