Olympic marmot scheduled for TFA[edit]
This is to let you know that the Olympic marmot article has been scheduled as today's featured article for February 10 2017. Please check the article needs no amendments. If you're interested in editing the main page text, you're welcome to do so at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/February 10, 2017, but note that a coordinator will trim the lead to around 1100 characters anyway, so you aren't obliged to do so. Thanks! Jimfbleak - talk to me? 07:28, 17 January 2017 (UTC)

sparrows and Olympic marmot
Thank you for quality articles about birds and other animals such as Olympic marmot and Iago sparrow, adding quality to existing articles, for the passer project plans, for "sourceberg" and abra cadabra, - you are an awesome Wikipedian!
- @Gerda Arendt You're welcome! I'm sure glad I was able to contribute something to all those articles (though I shouldn't get most of the credit for the Olympic marmot article). —innotata 18:31, 10 February 2017 (UTC)
- It takes someone to improve an article and dare go FAC, - I fondly remember working on Kafka with PumpkinSky who did that. Love all these ducks and other birds on your user pages but try to trim my accolades to four lines, trained by Br'er, DYK? - Precious is a prize from the cabal of the outcasts, - hope you still like it ;) - If you want to decorate others, for example authors of the Olympic: go ahead, use the model, fill the parameters and then add to the list under 2017. I try one a day, but don't follow rulez strictly ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:14, 10 February 2017 (UTC)

File:SPI - Castle Dome.jpg listed for deletion[edit]
You listed this file for deletion. If you look at the talk page for this file, You will find a record of permission given as of Tue, Dec 23, 2008 at 9:26 AM.
This was an earlier era, when we did things less formally. If you would like to formalize this, please feel free. Thanks, Pete Tillman (talk) 04:29, 26 February 2017 (UTC)
- @Tillman: sorry I didn't notice that! Actually, it was uploaded after the Wikimedia OTRS was established to handle email permissions, so you'll need to get the email to them, and include the URL of the file so they know which image it relates to. Cheers, —innotata 17:08, 26 February 2017 (UTC)
March Madness 2017[edit]
G'day all, please be advised that throughout March 2017 the Military history Wikiproject is running its March Madness drive. This is a backlog drive that is focused on several key areas:
- tagging and assessing articles that fall within the project's scope
- updating the project's currently listed A-class articles to ensure their ongoing compliance with the listed criteria
- creating articles that are listed as "requested" on the project's various task force pages or other lists of missing articles.
As with past Milhist drives, there are points awarded for working on articles in the targeted areas, with barnstars being awarded at the end for different levels of achievement.
The drive is open to all Wikipedians, not just members of the Military history project, although only work on articles that fall (broadly) within the military history scope will be considered eligible. More information can be found here for those that are interested, and members can sign up as participants at that page also.
The drive starts at 00:01 UTC on 1 March and runs until 23:59 UTC on 31 March 2017, so please sign up now.
For the Milhist co-ordinators. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) & MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 07:23, 26 February 2017 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for October 6[edit]
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Simraungadh, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Village Development Committee (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
