Kayaking project

Hey Pumpmeup,

I have just joined the Kayaking project of which you are the coordinator. I have started out a couple of month ago by improving articles about canoe slalom, especially the canoe slalom world championships. Since then, I have moved on by creating new articles such as Canoe Slalom World Cup (now writing a separate article for each season), European Canoe Slalom Championships and some stub biographies of medalists from World Championships.

I was wondering if its ok to add all the articles I created within the scope of this project. You can see the list on my user page. I could also add the articles into the project page under new articles, but I am not sure if I should add them all or just the non-stub articles and what is considered a new article (I mean if the article is a month old, is it still considered new?). Thanks in advance for you guidance.

Hi Vladyreaper. Feel free to apply initiative to the Kayaking wikiproject - make youself the new co-ordinator if you like! I am no longer actively contributing to Misplaced Pages, sorry. Thanks for taking it on board --§Pumpmeup 22:02, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

Well, that's too bad, because I don't feel like I have enough Misplaced Pages experience or expertise in the field of canoeing and kayaking to be a project coordinator. Anyway, thanks for your reply. -- Vladyreaper (talk) 22:09, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

The Great Revival: CVU Vandalism Studies Project

Hi! We're dropping you this rather unexpected message on your talk page because you signed up (either quite a while ago or rather recently) to be a member of the Vandalism Studies project. Sadly, the project fell into semi-retirement a few years ago, but as part of a new plan to fix up the Counter-Vandalism Unit, we're bringing back the Vandalism Studies project, with a new study planned for Late 2012! But we need your help. Are you still interested in working with us on this project? Then please sign up today! (even if you signed up previously, you'll still need to sign up again - we're redoing our member list in order to not harass those who are no longer active on the Wiki - sorry!) If you have any questions, please leave them on this page. Thanks, and we can't wait to bring the project back to life! -Theopolisme (talk) & Dan653 (talk), Coordinators

AFC Backlog

Articles for Creation urgently needs YOUR help! Articles for Creation is desperately short of reviewers! We are looking for urgent help, from experienced editors, in reviewing submissions in the pending submissions queue. Currently there are 1880 submissions waiting to be reviewed and many help requests at our Help Desk. Do you have what it takes? Are you familiar with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines? Do you know what Misplaced Pages is and is not? Do you have a working knowledge of the Manual of Style, particularly article naming conventions? Are you autoconfirmed? Can you review submissions based on their individual merits? If the answer to these questions is yes, then please read the reviewing instructions and donate a little of your time to helping tackle the backlog. You might wish to add {{AFC status}} or {{AfC Defcon}} to your userpage, which will alert you to the number of open submissions. PS: we have a great AFC helper script at User:Timotheus Canens/afchelper4.js which helps in reviewing in just few edits easily! We would greatly appreciate your help. Currently, only a small handful of users are reviewing articles. Any help, even if it's just 2 or 3 reviews, it would be extremely beneficial. On behalf of the Articles for Creation project, TheSpecialUser
