Redirect of Burma Railway.[edit]

Barack Obama Congratulations[edit]
While I'm absolutely sure that the entire U.S. as well as President-Elect Obama is very grateful for the King of Thailand's congratulations, and those congratulations might very well belong in an article dedicated to such international accolades, there is going to be a problem with putting the congratulations into the main Barack Obama article - there simply won't be enough room for everyone's to be put in the main Barack Obama article (and Wikipedia has to treat every nation equally). I'm sure Wikipedia does want the congratulations in here - the only question is where should they be recorded so that they can be found in perpetuity. Simesa (talk) 11:23, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
- Hi, I started an article International congratulations offered to Barack Obama upon his inauguration and posted a note on the Discussion page of Barack Obama that I had done so and would appreciate advice - but I see now that the article has vanished, with no note placed on my own Talk page nor any listing in today's articles for deletion.
- I used a technique to see what had happened to it, and found that a Wikipedia administrator named user:Stifle had deleted it with the terse comment "Let's not". Sorry, I tried to get your text in, and was going to link it into Barack Obama 2009 presidential inauguration, but administrators carry more power than I (although less than bureaucrat-level Wikipedians). Simesa (talk) 16:24, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
The article's protection will expire at noon, when Obama becomes President for reals. —harej // change the rules 16:39, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
[edit]
A drafted new version of the Manual of Style for Thailand-related articles has been started here. Still at issue are specific naming conventions for Thai royals and nobles and settlements. As a member of WikiProject Thailand, you are welcome to contribute to the discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Thailand#Updating the Manual of Style (part 2).

FAC withdrawn[edit]
I appreciate that you are acting in good faith, but it is best if featured articles are nominated by people who have worked closely on them. In this way, they can give reasoned replies to reviewers and be familiar enough with the sources to act on suggested improvements. Someone who has not worked on the article can not provide this input, so the nomination may continue until opposition to it becomes so overwhelming that the article is failed; this takes away time from reviewers. While the George Washington article is of reasonable quality, it is not yet of featured quality, and principal contributors must be consulted before a nomination, as required in the featured article candidate instructions. You might consider first working the article up through peer review and good article candidacy to prepare for its nomination. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 15:27, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Asian 10,000 Challenge invite[edit]
Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like South East Asia, Japan/China or India etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Asian content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 200 articles in just three days. If you would like to see this happening for Asia, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Asia, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant! Thank you. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 02:15, 21 October 2016 (UTC)
