Pictures of Civil Engineering Presidents[edit]

I admit I didn't check the copyright situation of the images in question. I suppose that if they are non-free images then they should only be used on the individual articles related to the subject, however, I think it's reasonable to leave the image of Douglas Fox in place. I will remove the others. --DavidCane (talk) 22:51, 16 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Zanzibar Revolution II[edit]

I've read through the article, and to be honest it looks pretty good. I genuinely couldn't spot much wrong with it; content, coverage, sourcing etc all look good, so I think perhaps a light copyedit is the only thing it needs. Rather than nitpick on the PR, would it be more useful if I helped out with that? EyeSerenetalk 08:25, 20 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Zanzibar Rev again[edit]

OK, I think I'm done with the copyedit. Thank you for the opportunity to work on such an interesting article (I knew nothing about the revolution prior to this), and it's been a pleasure working with you ;) I'd recommend a proofread for any spelling errors and typos I may have introduced, and I suspect the article may need to be checked for over-linking; there are a few links that occur more than once in the text, and some common words are linked.

ITN[edit]

I find myself agreeing with all of your suggested changes to things. Maybe you should consider going for adminship so you can make these changes yourself! ITN could certainly use another active administrator. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 09:33, 30 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah I have considered it, if only to bring another admin into ITN for updating purposes, but have always been put off by the RFA process. I am a big fan of WP:NOBIGDEAL and feel that RFA's focus on jumping through hoops and answering hordes of questions has harmed the project by driving away potential candidates. However I am open to the idea of running for adminship and would give it a go if someone nominated me - Dumelow (talk) 10:25, 30 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Hope you don't mind keeping the thread together! I could probably nominate you, if you would be up for that. I'm waiting to hear from someone else about the same thing but that wouldn't necessarily affect it anyway. When would be a good week to do it? I'll need to do a thorough check of your contributions just to be sure, but I don't expect to find anything alarming ;) Is there anyone else you have worked with particularly who may be able to add something to a nomination? I mostly agree with your assessment of the RFA process, it's just something that has to be done, unfortunately. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 15:29, 6 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
No probs regarding keeping the thread together. I would appreciate a nomination. It would perhaps be better to put it off for a month or so as I recently had two or three months off (combination of lots of uni work and actual work amongst other things) so there is a big gap in my contributions. I also want to get back into article creation (I have a few sandbox articles on the go at the moment) before I do anything else. The month would also give me time to check out the admin's reading list and try to get my head around some WP policies. Thanks for the support though, it is much appreciated - Dumelow (talk) 16:26, 6 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, just let me know when you're ready (watching this page). And if WP:Requests for adminship/Dumelow turns blue you'll know that I've started drafting the nomination! — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 16:31, 6 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
 Done You can start answering the questions when you're ready. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 14:43, 21 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I was going to suggest that you don't answer 7 as it seems as though it might relate to a current request for arbitration and not hypothetical at all. But you've probably worked this out for yourself anyway. Cheers — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 14:37, 26 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Invitation to comment[edit]

Hi Dumelow. I am Cargoking and you probably have seen me around ITN. I have identified you as an ITN regular, so I thought I would inform you of a discussion opened on 5 December 2009.

MSGJ suggested on Arsonal's (who's fairly new to ITN) talk page, that ITN suggestions made on the candidate's page would be put on separate pages, such as Wikipedia:In the news/Candidates/2009-12-05. The past seven days of discussion would be automatically transcluded. "This would avoid the need for archiving and it would also leave the history of the page intact. It might also make it easier to create new days because we can use preload templates, etc." The only disadvantage to this proposal would be that each new comment would not show up on people's watchlists.

You are invited to take part in discussion here.
Thanks,  Cargoking  talk  17:30, 5 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
