 | Welcome to Protonk's talk page. I will generally respond here to comments that are posted here, rather than replying via your talk page (or the article's talk page, if you are writing to me here about an article), so you may want to watch this page until you are responded to, or let me know where specifically you'd prefer the reply. |
Yelp
I'll be working offline on draft Snapdragon (system on chip) and Paul Jacobs articles over the weekend; then I have meetings on Monday for Heather Bresch and Qualcomm, so I'll take a shot at the Yelp controversy re-organization if we don't hear back from Coretheapple by Sunday if I can finish these articles or Tuesday at the latest.
I've also been looking for help on the RealPlayer page if you're interested. Not bringing it up to GA, but just asking for some cleanup of junk sources in the second half of the Controversies section and in the RealAlternative section. I've been forum shopping a bit, but getting a lot of "I'm busy IRL" type stuff. Even though I have a reputation for not being your typical spammy or spin-doctory COI, I think it is still not the kind of thing many editors take an interest in doing. CorporateM (Talk) 22:14, 3 October 2014 (UTC)
- @CorporateM: I'm happy to leave the Yelp review on hold as long as you need. I'll take a look at the real player page, but (unfortunately, given your other requests!) I can't promise I'll be able to spend too much time with it. Protonk (talk) 22:34, 3 October 2014 (UTC)
- I put a draft re-structure up at user:CorporateM/Yelp CorporateM (Talk) 23:00, 6 October 2014 (UTC)
The draft is de-annotated. I can do some of the tedious stuff in article-space afterwards if you like, like making sure the cites still work and trimming some of the redundancies pulled from other sections. CorporateM (Talk) 21:35, 10 October 2014 (UTC)
Justa Punk ban
I've noticed that you blocked one of his State Library of Victoria IP's for six months. Could you please extend it to a year to be consistent with Material Scientist (see the other IP banned at the same time - last digits of both are 26 and 22). Curse of Fenric (talk) 03:17, 9 October 2014 (UTC)
- @Curse of Fenric: Can you point me to the other IP? Sorry for making you search for it but it's hard to track down disparate blocks for the same editor. Protonk (talk) 13:50, 9 October 2014 (UTC)
- 203.17.215.26 is the one you blocked. 203.17.215.22 is the one Material Scientist blocked. Curse of Fenric (talk) 22:50, 10 October 2014 (UTC)
Done radium GAN
Unfortunately I am way busier than I would like to be at the moment and as such I'm worried that I won't have enough time to get everything done by tomorrow (7 days after the review) – so I'd like to request it remain open for another week, when I will very likely be able to return to last month's activity level on WP. Sorry for the inconvenience. Double sharp (talk) 14:28, 10 October 2014 (UTC)
- @Double sharp: No worries. I should put this disclaimer at the top of my reviews, but I'm happy to leave the review open for as long as you need to improve the article. This is especially true for Radium as not all of my suggestions are line-by-line improvements. If you prefer I can change the status to "on hold" but I don't think that actually matters so long as both of us know what's going on. Protonk (talk) 14:34, 10 October 2014 (UTC)
- OK, I am back. Took longer than expected, but now I have enough time to deal with the rest. I'll work on it today and over the next few days. Double sharp (talk) 06:00, 13 November 2014 (UTC)

GA Cup - Round 1 Newsletter #2
Hello GA Cup competitors! The judges have learned a great deal in this first part of the competition, and we appreciate your patience with us as we've figured out what works and what doesn't work. As we reported in our last newsletter, an inadequacy in the scoring system has been illuminated in the past 15 days, which has resulted in a major change in the rules. It has also resulted in one withdrawal. To ensure fairness, we've decided to further increase the number of participants moving onto Round 2. Everyone who has reviewed at least one article will automatically be moved forward, and will be placed in pools. You have until October 29 to take advantage of this opportunity. It is our hope that this will make up for the unforeseen glitch in our scoring system. Best of wishes to all of you as you continue to help improve articles and make Misplaced Pages a better place. Cheers from NickGibson3900, Dom497, TheQ Editor and Figureskatingfan. To subscribe or unsubscribe to future GA Cup newsletter, please add or remove your name to our mailing list. If you are a participant, you will be on the mailing list no matter what as this is the easiest way to communicate between all participants. |

Gamergate help
We're working on what the sections should look like and contain, but coming up with titles is hard :( Help us? Kaciemonster (talk) 00:11, 23 October 2014 (UTC)
Cosmic Stories and Stirring Science Stories
I've been working on another magazine article, and I wondered if you'd be willing to take a look at it before it goes to FAC, since you've been so helpful on the other articles. No problem if you're too busy, of course. The article is on a pair of related magazines: Cosmic Stories and Stirring Science Stories. There's no hurry; it'll probably be weeks at least before my current article at FAC is done, and I have others ready to go. Thanks.

Ford Island ACR
Thanks for the support. Did you see the quote from the Kane book I left for you?--v/r - TP 06:57, 26 October 2014 (UTC)
- @TParis: I did. Sorry for not responding directly because I suspect that question was one of the reasons you had to hit the library. :) I think that supports the claim in the text (I'm always a bit worried with cultural anthro statements). Two thing I'd suggest thinking about are (because Kane is not explicitly invoking other literature) attribute it to Kane in text and call it a "courtship game" rather than just a game (I realize the previous sentence indicates it is about courtship, but that's a clearer compound noun. However that's at your discretion. Thanks for following up! Protonk (talk) 14:19, 26 October 2014 (UTC)

Happy Halloween!!!

Wilhelmina Will has given you some caramel and a candy apple! Caramel and candy-coated apples are fun Halloween treats, and promote WikiLove on Halloween. Hopefully these have made your Halloween (and the proceeding days) much sweeter. Happy Halloween!
'"On Psych, A USA Network TV series Episode 8, The Tao of Gus, Season 6, Shawn refers to pumpkins as "Halloween Apples" because he thinks all round fruits are a type of apple.
If Trick-or-treaters come your way, add {{subst:Halloween apples}} to their talkpage with a spoooooky message! |

GA Cup - Round 2
|
Greetings, GA Cup competitors! Wednesday saw the end of Round 1. Jaguar took out Round 1 with an amazing score of 238. In a tight race for second, Peacemaker67 and Ritchie333 finished second and third with 152 and 141 points, respectively. Two users have scored the maximum five bonus points for article length (60,000 characters+). Anotherclown reviewed Spanish conquest of Yucatán (77,350 characters) and MrWooHoo reviewed Communist Party of China (76,740 characters). The longest review was by Bilorv who reviewed Caldas da Rainha. The review was approximately 22,400 characters which earned s/he two bonus points (20, 000 - 29, 999 characters). In Round 1, 117 reviews were completed, making the first round of the GA Cup a success! A total of 86 articles were removed from the backlog during the month of October! We hope to see all remaining users fighting it out in Round 2 so we can lower the backlog as much as possible. To qualify for the second round, one completed review was needed, which 28 users accomplished. Participants have been randomly put into 7 pools of 4; the top 2 in each pool will move onto Round 3. There will also be one wildcard. This means that the participant who comes in 15th place (all pools combined) will also move on. Round 2 will start on November 1 at 0:00:01 UTC and end on November 29 at 23:59:59 UTC. Information about Round 2 and the pools can be found here Also, remember that a major rule change will go into affect starting on November 1, which marks the beginning of Round Two. Round 1 displayed a weakness in the rules, which we are correcting with this new rule. We believe that this change will make the competition more inherently fair. The new rule is: Your review must provide feedback/suggestions for improvement, and then you must wait until the nominator has responded and all issues/suggestions have been resolved before you can pass the article. Failure to follow this rule will result in disqualification. The judges will strictly enforce this new rule. Good luck and remember to have fun! Cheers from NickGibson3900, Dom497, TheQ Editor and Figureskatingfan. To subscribe or unsubscribe to future GA Cup newsletter, please add or remove your name to our mailing list. If you are a participant still competing, you will be on the mailing list no matter what as this is the easiest way to communicate between all participants. |
