Hi, User:Washburnmav
I was wondering if you could take a look into copyediting it.
Please reply on my talk page when you get the chance.
Thanx!

List of fatal, unprovoked shark attacks in the United States
Hi. I reverted your revert on this page. I'm guessing you restored the info because it looked a blanking by an IP vandal. However, the IP made a correct edit. The list is solely for attacks in U.S. territorial waters. The Titanic sank far outside of U.S. territorial waters, so a passenger on that ship is not appropriate for this list. That's good enough for remove "Bessie Walden", but in addition, it seems likely that this person is fictional. I did a quick google search and didn't find any reference to a Bessie Walden shark attack. Given that this person was supposedly on the Titanic, she should show up readily in a search. Just wanted to explain myself. --JamesAM (talk) 16:14, 29 May 2009 (UTC)
- Your assumption is correct. Sorry about the mix-up. I'm pretty careful but every once and a while one slips by me. You may want to remind that IP that using edit summaries is very important, especially in removing content. Thanks for fixing that. Happy editing! Washburnmav (talk) 16:18, 29 May 2009 (UTC)
Request
Hi, there. I would like to cordially invite you to have a bash at copy-editing Silent Alarm.
Me and
I would really appreciate your help. Everything else is just-so but obviously another pair of eyes is needed because it's hard to copy-edit your own work to the standards FA reviewers want. Rafablu88 (talk) 08:33, 30 May 2009 (UTC)
- I will add it to my list. No promises, I'm fairly busy at the moment but I may have time to take a crack at it. Washburnmav (talk) 12:52, 30 May 2009 (UTC)
<-- Many thanks for starting the CE. Just a heads up, we've written the article in
Silent Alarm copyedit
In reference to the dates - I think that, because the article is in British English, the dates should remain in DD MM YY format (12 March 2005 as opposed to March 12, 2005) even if the second is arguably more aesthetically pleasing.
- Oh, apologies, it seems Rafa already informed you of that convention ^^; Sorry! weburiedoursecretsinthegarden 09:34, 2 June 2009 (UTC)]
- Haha. I think we should let the guy finish and stop nannying. We can always change them afterwards. Not a big deal at all. Rafablu88 (talk) 09:35, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
- Hey no worries guys, that was my fault. I'm not as versed on British English as I should be, so this copyedit will be a little tougher for me. I'm gonna read up a little on the British formatting and rules and jump back in. Please continue to check my changes for accuracy though, and change anything I screw up along the way.

are your ears ringing?
someone must be talking about you! ;> User talk:Xeno#Wikipedia: on the treatment of vandals –xenotalk 22:51, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
- Well glad to see I'm still the posterchild of vandal-> contributor conversion. Although I fear that I may be a very isolated incident... but still good evidence that it is worth being civil and giving them a shot. Are you still giving this at every RfA? How many of them voted to give me a chance?Washburnmav (talk) 16:52, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
- Indeed... I've unblocked a handful people after a 2nd chance but you're the only one who ever really stuck around and are still contributing. I don't (or very rarely) ask the question anymore (I see others do once in a while)... I'd say opinions were about evenly divided on how to proceed. I do point to it whenever I'm trying to argue that vandals shouldn't be entirely written off and can be coaxed into becoming contributors. –xenotalk 16:59, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

WikiProject Dentistry -- Update
Hey there! Over the past year or so, the WikiProject Dentistry has fallen into disrepair. Dozenist hasn't been around in nearly 2 years, and after some email communication, he's indicated that he's no longer interested in heading the project. In fact, the project has been labeled inactive since November 2010!
My plan is to focus less on internal bureaucratic policy and more on article creation, article clean-up and article maintenance. That's why people use Wikipedia to search for dental topics -- because it contains wonderfully explained, wonderfully formatted information on relevant topics, not because there are 5 dental articles featured as GA or 7 articles featured as such. So if that's what you like, don't let me stop you, but I think the focus should be on, as I said, article creation and article maintenance.
I welcome all comments, questions and suggestions. If you're new and you'd like help, I'll try to guide you. You can check out my latest few articles: Underwood's septa, platform switching, Bone remodeling period, Cone beam computed tomography, C-terminal telopeptide and furcation defect. You cannot imagine how many dental students I come across at Columbia who tell me they utilize Wikipedia on a weekly basis, but find that there are not enough articles on dental subjects. So let's get out there are create well written, well sourced articles on dental topics. Have a great day! DRosenbach (Talk | Contribs) 12:49, 5 April 2011 (UTC)
