League of Copyeditors participation drive!

Dear League member,

We've started a participation drive for the remainder of February. If you can, please help clear the backlog by adopting the following goals each week:

Thanks for your help! But you knew that already. :) BuddingJournalist 08:41, 6 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

New Project

Hello! Recently I've started a project WP:CRIMINAL that aims to improve articles relating to criminals, including serial killers and others, particularly their biographies. If you are interested please join this project and help! Thank you! Wooyi 03:48, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject The Beatles Newsletter, Issue 10, February 2007

WikiProject The Beatles Newsletter
Issue 010 – February 2007

Beatles News
  • George Harrison's handwritten lyrics to the song While My Guitar Gently Weeps have fetched $300,000 (£152,552) in a Scottsdale (Arizona, United States) memorabilia auction (15 January). It contained lines omitted from the final version of the song. Specifically :
I look from the wings at the play you are staging
While my guitar gently weeps
As I'm sitting here doing nothing but aging
Still my guitar gently weeps

On the reverse of the page appears the lyrics to Hey Jude in the hand of Mal Evans.

Project News
  • The Project lead article (The Beatles, for those not paying attention) has had its Good Article status reviewed, and the consensus was 'keep'. The efforts of User:Andreasegde in supplying the requested citations, and other editors in helping with general editing, and the strength of arguments for retaining the grade sufficiently impressed the reviewers.
  • After a great deal of work Paul McCartney was promoted as a Featured Article candidate. Unfortunately it failed to succeed. Among other comments, including the correct length of dash (or hyphen), from reviewers was that the article was too long and also that it needed further information included in some of the sections(!?) The promotor, and driving force behind the insertion of a great many references, citations and facts (and the remover of unwanted text, and splitter of information into daughter articles), Andreasegde vigorously argued the case for promotion but was unsuccessful.
  • Mimi Smith was successfully nominated for WP:Good article status. The major editor to whom accolades should be directed is... Andreasegde.
The Beatles' Influence on Recording Music by Apepper and Wings 1973 UK Tour by Danthemankhan.
  • The hottest Project page this month was possibly, despite the Article Status related issues regarding both The Beatles and Paul McCartney mentioned above, the third attempt to delete The Beatles trivia in less than a year. As was the case for the second attempt at AfD the result, after an energetic discourse, was keep but with a suggestion that the article be retitled to reduce the incidence of deletion requests. Editors are invited to discuss possible new titles, and/or the need for same, at Talk:The Beatles trivia.
  • Other Project news - Lar did a bit of a purge of the subscription list during last month's newsletter delivery. Some folks were kept (and are at the active list), some who clearly are not active on wikipedia at all were removed with a "you've been removed" message left (and are at the inactive list), and some folks who were less active but not as clearly completely inactive were given a "this may be your last newsletter" message (and are at the possibly inactive list). A more nuanced subscription list is now here (in several subpages as outlined above), and anyone who wants to tweak their status (moving one's self back is a clear cut sign that we should deliver the newsletter to you!) should feel free. Please respect the rather spartan formatting though, this list is used by WP:AWB currently, and may be used by other automation in future.
Issue of the Month

Hottest issue or concern for this month is the perennial matter of Project articles losing their Good or Featured Article status. The main Project page now includes a status board that gives the current ratings of some of the more important articles. Let's make sure the core articles (The Beatles, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr) reach or retain Good Article status, if not Featured Article. If you are aware of another major article whose status is at risk, add it to the board.

Issue of last Month

Since there has been no response in the matter of the use of lowercase for the initial letter of the when applied with Beatles from the opponents, it is likely that the case for using lowercase only will be adopted as Project policy by default. User:LessHeard vanU will draw up a recommendation and submit it to the Policy talkpage in a few days.

Hey!

Wow, i haven't gotten a nice message on my talk page in a very long time. Thanks for the kind words, i really appreciate it. I'd love to be a member of the Copyediting wikiproject! Although i'm not the best speller on the planet, i will do my best. There's always google, right?

Anyway, thanks again. ^_^ dposse 13:18, 8 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

As I was looking at Urban Dictionary, I realized that I forgot how awesome this man is! I would be more than happy to have Stephen Colbert userboxes, specifically about "Reality has a well-known liberal bias," and of course, truthiness. Good day! mirageinred 21:42, 8 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Queen

I found two articles within your field of interest, from the backlog: Queen (album) and Queen live performances. Perhaps you might be tempted to copyedit them. :) Rintrah 13:29, 9 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

My RFA

Thank You,
Tohru Honda13/Archive 6 for your Support!
Thank you for your support in my RfA, which closed at 111 / 1 / 2. I am humbled and rather shocked to see such kind comments and for it to reach WP:100. Please feel free to leave a note if I have made a mistake or if you need anything, I will start out slow and tackle the harder work once I get accustomed to the tools. Thank you once more, I simply cannot express in words my gratitude.

Oh, yes, sorry for taking so long to respond. I'll wait before adopting or email Lethaniol later. Thanks! It's great that Arjun has been promoted (he really deserves it). =D Cheers! S.D. ¿п? § 02:53, 10 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Portal Help

I saw what you did to the portal so far and I'd have to say that you're doing great! We'd be so lost without you. :) We are in... week 7, and I'd be glad to help you out with the portal. So what can I do for ya? You said something about the selected series and biographies, right? (By the way, you can reply either here or at my talk page; it doesn't matter to me.) // PoeticDecay 18:56, 11 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I guess you would just click on this link and create one. I'm just curious as to why there wasn't one for week 6, though. Today is the 11th, isn't it? // PoeticDecay 19:12, 11 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
It looks great! Anyways, of course I will help you! It's the least I can do. I'll get started right away. // PoeticDecay 19:34, 11 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Konnichi-wa, Tohru-san! I think I'm done with the series thing for right now (I think I might have gone a bit overboard...) But I did find some cool manga: Watching Fuckin' TV All Time Makes a Fool (I like the title of this one ;), He Is My Master (which is coming to America pretty soon), and This Ugly Yet Beautiful World. The last one would have to be my favorite. You should read the article; the series seems really interesting. Well, let me know if you need anything else. Happy editing! // PoeticDecay 21:16, 11 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Español

I need your help, Tohru. You are an accomplished speaker of Spanish, whereas I am not. Therefore, I must ask you to translate the Spanish in Cúcuta (in the Etymology section). By asking you this, I am reminded of my need to learn this language, which is an annoying inadequacy. Gracias, Tohru.

By the way, two of my cousins are Spnaish. Rintrah 08:26, 12 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Heya, Tohru-san! Thank you for the birthday message (and the cookie)! My birthday was pretty good (despite the fact that only five people wished me a happy birthday, unless you count my family and the birthday committee. I feel so unloved...) Anyways, thanks again for the message! And yes, I hope to make the Bleach WP official someday, but I feel like it's missing something. A logo maybe? I'll draw one later, I suppose. I hope you have a great Valentine's Day! // PoeticDecay 00:07, 14 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! I'm He-ere!

Hey, sorry I haven't been editing or anything a while - I'm in my final year of high school, so what with the homework and all, I haven't had time to do much on wikipedia - if anything at all. Actually, I kinda got distracted by this other wiki, known as strategywiki.org (for making game guides and all), I've been making the Dirge of Cerberus -Final Fantasy VII- game guide there - check it out sometime! (and laugh at my poor wikimarkup and duff attempts at mapmaking). Except my user name is just 'froglet' there. The site is a little over a year old, so there isn't as much info there as there is here, but I like it - even if all the regulars go into 'cleanup mode' the moment they see that I've been adding more content.  :-P--Froglet42 09:24, 14 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
P.S. - Happy Valentines Day!

Run! vs Run! (Heroes)

Hello, recently you opposed the move of the article Run! (Heroes) to Run!. However, I have recently posted several points that support this move, namely that Wikipedia:Naming_conventions_(television)#Episode_articles clearly states: "For an article created about a single episode, add the series name in parentheses only if there are other articles by the same name". Since there is no article at "Run!", per the guidelines, the "(Heroes)" is unnecessary. If you have a chance, I invite you to return to the article's talk page and discuss this further, and perhaps my arguments can convince you to change your opinion. Thanks! -Seinfreak37 15:01, 14 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

¡Hola, Tohru! Well, it's official. I finally made the Bleach WikiProject! If you have the time, do you mind taking a look at it and fixing anything that needs fixing? And it would be great if you would join, if you're still up to it, but the choice is completely up to you. So, how'd your Valentine's Day go? Did you spend it with someone special? With a personality like yours, you definately deserve someone great! Happy editing! // PoeticDecay 19:59, 17 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Glad to finally have another member aboard the WikiProject! Hopefully, the project will grow fairly quickly and we'll have more members in no time. And you don't really have to tell me about your Valentine's Day if you don't want to. I'll understand. // PoeticDecay 01:17, 18 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The userbox looks wonderful! I just did some minor work on it. Thanks for making it! I replied to your email, in case you haven't checked yet. Cheers! // PoeticDecay 02:38, 18 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Scratch all that about the WikiProject. I forgot to bring it up at Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals, so I'm doing that now. I also changed my email address from 1992 to 1993 (easier for me to remember since it's my real birth year). Just thought you might like to know. // PoeticDecay 14:58, 18 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I guess this is to be expected. I'm not really that disappointed about the project, but I wish that the few users I sent messages to would reply or something... // PoeticDecay 17:18, 18 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Help with Spanish

¡Hola, Tohru! Estoy aprendiendo actualmente español y pensado que sería divertido si cambié mi firma del Poetic Decay a lo que es en español. ¿Cómo usted dice Poetic Decay en español? ¿Decaimiento Poético, la derecha?

(In case people can't read this: Hello, Tohru! I'm currently learning Spanish and thought that it would be funny if I changed my signature from Poetic Decay to whatever it is in Spanish. How do you say Poetic Decay in Spanish? Decaimiento Poético, right?)

How's my Spanish? I had to use an English-to-Spanish translator for some of it. // PoeticDecay 02:55, 19 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You really think so? :) Like I said, I had to use a translator for some of the words ("change" being one of them; the first time I typed it in though, I missed spelled it and it came up wrong in the translator). I commented on the Mr Muggles thing for ya. And I was actually able to read most of the comment you left me. This is what I came up with before reading the English translation: "Puedes [express your opinion] aquĺ? ¡[Thank you Poetic Decay]! Ahorra quiero a [contribute to the Spanish Wikipedia]... ¡[(Good)bye]!" Anyway, thanks for the help, Tohru! I hope you didn't mind. Talk to you later! // PoeticDecay 03:15, 19 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Japanese? I know some of the common terms, and I've been trying to learn from watching Bleach, Naruto, etc in Japanese. And I'm not exactly changing my username. Just my sig. Kelly de la Rosa... "Kelly of the rose," right? Sounds great! :) // PoeticDecay 03:39, 19 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Heroes, Mr. Bennet's death

tohru, this happened on tonight's episode (Company Man), the episode aired a day earlier in Ontario. i hope this clears everything up. i tried posting a refrain from spoiling on the Company Man wiki-page, but they removed it. so, that's what happened.. i'll try and remove people who are spoiling it for people in the US.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Nocarsgo (talkcontribs) 03:12, 26 February 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Yeah, it aired a day early here in Ontario because Globa runs a tight scheduele on Monday's. They have Prision Break at 8, 24 at 9 and The Black Donnellys (which airs tomorrow) at 10. so, as for now, i don't know what day(s) Heroes will be showing on. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Nocarsgo (talkcontribs) 03:24, 26 February 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Re: Year Evanescence Was Founded

Well, I have a copy of their first ep (the Evanescence EP) and the back of it says ©1998 on the bottom. The actual CD was released in December of 1998—and I can only assume this—but I believe they actually started calling themselves 'Evanescence' sometime in 1997 (I've heard interviews where Amy Lee claims to have written My Immortal in middle school, but they didn't actually record it formally until 1997). So actually... perhaps the article should say that the band was formed in 1997..... Gyakusetsu 07:18, 28 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject The Beatles Newsletter, Issue 11, March 2007

WikiProject The Beatles Newsletter
Issue 011 – March 2007

Beatles News
  • On February 5, 2007, the Beatles' Apple Corps and Apple, Inc. (Apple Computer) announced a settlement of their latest trademark dispute involving use of the Apple trademark on the iTunes Music Store. In May of 2006, the High Court ruled in favor of Apple, but Neil Aspinall, manager of Apple Corps, vowed to appeal. Evidently, in the intervening months, the two companies negotiated a settlement. The settlement is discussed in this AP story. For background on the case, see Apple Corps v. Apple Computer. For fans, this may mean that Beatle music will be available someday on iTunes. Despite rumors of a February 2007 release, the material is still unavailalble.
Project News
  • There were no Project article adoptions for the month of February.
  • Project Policy has now been altered to reflect that the use of lowercase for the letter "t" of the word "the" in the Beatles is now considered the correct rendition.
Member News
  • New members to the project since the last issue include (although the first is a long time contributor who apparently has only just found the Participants section);
Tvoz
Freshacconci
Liamshaw
John Cardinal
Mezlo
ErleGrey
Captain Waters
Hey jude, don't let me down
Issue of the Month

See below. There is genuine concern that the Newsletter is getting stale in terms of content and variety, and that the same individuals are featured each month. Furthermore, lack of "news" is hindering the timely distribution as the editors wait for something to report. All Project editors are encouraged to give their news, suggestions and thoughts to keep the 'Letter vital and interesting. If making direct contributions do not appeal, please give a mention on the Newsletter talkpage and it will be incorporated!

From the Editors

Help is needed for the job of putting future Newsletters together. The present incumbent is finding it difficult to reflect the breadth of the Project, focusing on much the same individuals and articles each month, and has decided to beg for contributions from other individuals. Interested persons need only start working on next months issue to qualify. It really is that simple!

If you've just joined, add your name to the Participants section of Wikipedia:WikiProject The Beatles. You'll get a mention in the next issue of the Newsletter and get it delivered as desired. Also, please include your own promotions and awards in future issues. Don't be shy!

Lastly, this is your newsletter and you can be involved in the creation of the next issue (Issue 012 – April 2007). Any and all contributions are welcome. Simply let yourself be known to any of the undersigned, or just start editing!
