| Hi, I guess I should have left a better explanation about my decline of that speedy. As a userpage, even if it ''has'' been blanked by the author, there's no need to delete it unless it contains content that really shouldn't be there. And, perhaps the user just wants it blank rather than deleted. Sorry for any inconvenience! —] (]) 20:00, 31 May 2011 (UTC) | |||
| :Hi, thanks for clarifying, though I'm still not certain about whether or not the page should be tagged. As you can see from , the author of the page (also the user who blanked the page) is ''not'' the "owner", so to speak, of the userpage. Still, according to ], it would seem that G7 applies to all pages "other than a userspace page or category page", though the description does not elaborate on tagging userpages. <span style="white-space:nowrap">] ]</span> 20:06, 31 May 2011 (UTC) | |||

| ::::As for G7, the way I see it: This was a clear case where G7 applied.

| We're half way through round 3 of the ]. There are currently 32 remaining in the competition, but only 16 will progress to our penultimate round. {{Misplaced Pages:WikiCup/Participant2|Casliber}}, of pool D, is our overall leader with nearly 200 points, while pools A, B and C are led by {{Misplaced Pages:WikiCup/Participant2|Racepacket}}, {{Misplaced Pages:WikiCup/Participant2|Hurricanehink}} and {{Misplaced Pages:WikiCup/Participant2|Canada Hky}} respectively. The score required to reach the next round is 35, though this will no doubt go up significantly as the round progresses. We have a good number of high scorers, but also a considerable number who are yet to score. Please remember to submit content soon after it is promoted, so that the judges are able to review entries. Also, an important note concerning nominations at ]: if you are nominating content for which you intend to claim WikiCup points, ''please'' make this clear in the nomination statement so that the FAC director and his delegates are aware of the fact. | |||

Please, if it's not very difficult for you, could you please check out my lyrics and fill blank spaces? Don't laugh too much, OK? :) | |||

| Hello there, | |||
| I am pleased to say that April will be a ''very'' exciting month for Misplaced Pages in Washington, DC. We have a lot of different events coming up, so you will have a lot to choose from. | |||
| First, a reminder that our second annual ''']''' will take place on Sunday, March 30 at the National Museum of Women in the Arts. | |||
| Coming up in April, we have our first-ever '''''' with the Sunlight Foundation on April 5–6! We are working together to use open government data to improve the Wikimedia projects, and we would love your help. All are welcome, regardless of coding or editing experience. We will also be having a ''']''' the day before, with refreshments courtesy of the Sunlight Foundation. | |||
| On Friday, April 11 we are having our first edit-a-thon ever with the Library of Congress. The ''']''' will focus on the Library's African and Middle East Reading Room. It'll be early in the morning, but it's especially worth it if you're interested in improving Misplaced Pages's coverage of African topics. | |||
| The following day, we are having our second annual ''']''' training. We will discuss policy issues relevant to Wikimedia and plan for our day of outreach to Congressional staffers that will take place during the following week. | |||

| Hi there, | |||
| I am currently taking part in your wikify June drive, also my first. I have been looking at the edits by some of the other editors, particularly those scaling the top of the leader board as it is, to see if i can find ways to speed up my own wikifying technique. My questions are in relation to some edit's i have spotted. Take this article for example ] by current board leader ]. The article is relatively small but could have been improved further rather than adding a bullet point next to the reference and counting it as wikified. For a start there could have been more wikilinks added such as "testify" and "custody", as an example. Please do not misunderstand as i am not trying to point a finger, but simply find out for myself if simple motions such as this count as wikifying an article. If this is so, it may help my own ranking on the leaderboard. Another question i would like to ask is on articles containing only 1 or 2 sentences is it allowed to just link 2 or 3 words and count it as wikified if it is not eligible for an infobox etc? This also seems to be quite a popular way of wikifying. | |||

| :Hi, thanks for pointing out the edits by {{user|Kerowyn}}. I'll remind the editor to be more careful in wikifying, look over (or someone will) the users edits, and possibly disqualify any not fully wikified articles until they ''are'' fully wikified.

Backlog progress bar
I quite like the {{Backlog progress bar}}. Can you add the "Goal", "Current", "Initial" and the purge link in the same format to the right of the bar itself? Also can you have all that as an option for displaying? Thanks. -- Alan Liefting (talk - contribs) 02:42, 23 September 2012 (UTC)
- This is quite extraordinary. Today is the first day I've edited Misplaced Pages in over a year. I don't know what to say. I suppose I'll do my best to add the requested features, but I suggest you go ahead and experiment with the template. I'll have to get back to you on that one. Guoguo12 (Talk) 02:52, 23 September 2012 (UTC)
- Wow!!
- I am not very good at template coding but I might be able to do what I want with {{Progression}}. Cheers. -- Alan Liefting (talk - contribs) 02:56, 23 September 2012 (UTC)

Great to see you back!
Hey! It's so great to see you back again! Ryan Vesey 04:04, 23 September 2012 (UTC)
- Yeah, I couldn't resist. I'm glad things are going well. I don't know if I'll be able to edit much, but I'll do what I can. Great to be working with you (and WikiProject Wikify) again! Guoguo12 (Talk) 04:06, 23 September 2012 (UTC)
- Yep, just to catch you up some, we got rid of {{Wikify}}. It has been replaced with the other templates that deal with Wikification (so it is easier for editors to focus on the issues they are good at). I've started Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Wikify/Track, which can be used outside of drives to keep track. Ryan Vesey 04:08, 23 September 2012 (UTC)
- I like the idea, although the progress percentages don't seem to be displaying properly. Has anything else changed in the last, well, year? Guoguo12 (Talk) 04:12, 23 September 2012 (UTC)
- Okay, wait, never mind. They are working correctly. Apparently, I wrote that template. Fascinating. Guoguo12 (Talk) 04:14, 23 September 2012 (UTC)
- On WikiProject Wikify? Not really. There aren't any coordinators currently editing; although, Benzband does a ton of work with the project. Nolelover and I are still working with it, but are too busy to formally accept a position. For policy, the biggest change is that Pending Changes is coming back in December. Ryan Vesey 04:24, 23 September 2012 (UTC)

Untitled section by ARTIsshoque
Hello. Sorry for interrupting you for such stupid reason, but it's very important for me. I can't find lyrics of Andy Williams' "Pennies from Heaven" (from "The wonderful world of Andy Williams" album), and I can't understand it by hear cause of my poor English (as you can see). Please, if it's not very difficult for you, could you please check out my lyrics and fill blank spaces? Don't laugh too much, OK? :)

I can't even think of a decent header
My gosh, it's good to see you back! How in the world have you been? Hope your little vacation went well: obviously the 'pedia pretty much broke without you. ;) In all seriousness though, it is good to have another active WWF leader around. I'm pretty inactive right now, and as you can see the project is undergoing some interesting changes (I swear I've used that last phrase for the last two years). Nolelover 17:16, 3 October 2012 (UTC)
- Hi Nolelover! Great to be talking to you after over a year. I'm fine, and I hope you've been doing well also. I'm not sure how active I'll be, because of my schoolwork, but it's great to be back. I'm not really sure what to say, but I certainly want to thank you for what you've done for me (and for Misplaced Pages in general). So much has changed, as you've mentioned. The community portal, for instance, is completely different! (I honestly think it was more interesting and more useful when it was cluttered with links.) Anyway, I hope to contribute to Misplaced Pages when I can, and I look forward to working with you in the future! Guoguo12 (Talk) 18:58, 3 October 2012 (UTC)
- Well, I really don't know if I'll be here to work with. As time goes on, I find myself even thinking about WP less and less. I'm pretty sure I'm done, unless I find myself with the bug in a few years. For now, other things are just more important. Well, anyway...again, it's great to see you back. I hope RL treats you well, and that you can finish what you started here. Nolelover 06:32, 12 October 2012 (UTC)
DYK for Carlos Jenkins
 | On 14 October 2012, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Carlos Jenkins, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that American football linebacker Carlos Jenkins reportedly survived a motorcycle accident at 70 miles per hour (110 km/h) despite not wearing a helmet? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Carlos Jenkins. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

An exciting month of wiki events!
Hello there,
I am pleased to say that April will be a very exciting month for Misplaced Pages in Washington, DC. We have a lot of different events coming up, so you will have a lot to choose from.
First, a reminder that our second annual Women in the Arts Edit-a-Thon will take place on Sunday, March 30 at the National Museum of Women in the Arts.
Coming up in April, we have our first-ever Open Government WikiHack with the Sunlight Foundation on April 5–6! We are working together to use open government data to improve the Wikimedia projects, and we would love your help. All are welcome, regardless of coding or editing experience. We will also be having a happy hour the day before, with refreshments courtesy of the Sunlight Foundation.
On Friday, April 11 we are having our first edit-a-thon ever with the Library of Congress. The Africa Collection Edit-a-Thon will focus on the Library's African and Middle East Reading Room. It'll be early in the morning, but it's especially worth it if you're interested in improving Misplaced Pages's coverage of African topics.
The following day, we are having our second annual Wiki Loves Capitol Hill training. We will discuss policy issues relevant to Wikimedia and plan for our day of outreach to Congressional staffers that will take place during the following week.
There are other meetups in the works, so be sure to check our meetup page with the latest. I hope to see you at some of these events!
All the best,
James Hare

See you at the Laurel Pool Room, 9th and Main Street, Laurel, MD on Thursday, September 11, 2014 at 7:00 PM EST. See http://www.meetup.com/Wikimedia-DC/events/205494212/ for more information. Geraldshields11 (talk) 02:13, 6 September 2014 (UTC)
Wikimedia DC invites revolutionaries, free thinkers, and other sundry editors to a DC WikiSalon
The WikiSalon is a special meetup usually held during the first and third full weeks of every month, from 7 PM to 9 PM. It's an informal gathering of Wikimedia enthusiasts, who come together to discuss Wikimedia wikis and collaboratively edit. There's no set agenda, and guests are welcome to recommend articles for the group to edit or edit on their own.
If you're coming by Metro, the closest station is Dupont Circle (on the Red Line). If you're driving, a lot of parking opens up downtown after 6:30 PM, so finding a parking space (even a free one) should be easy. Once you've found the building, go to Cove on the second floor. We will be in the conference room.
When: Wednesday, September 17, 2014 at 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM
Where: The Cove, Dupont Circle, 1730 Connecticut Avenue NW, 2nd floor, 20009, DC

Thanks for uploading File:Usatt-small.gif. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Misplaced Pages under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Misplaced Pages. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Misplaced Pages (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. HapHaxion (talk / contribs) 01:49, 15 August 2020 (UTC)
