Come meet Wikimedians, learn about GLAM-Wiki partnerships, get involved, and discuss future wiki outreach and activities in the Baltimore area! There also is a Wikipedia & Cultural Heritage at the Young Preservationist Happy Hour on Friday, July 22, 6:30pm at the Midtown Yacht Club, an unpretentious neighborhood pub.

The onus is on the defenders of non-free content to prove why it should remain, and no one in the discussion below did so. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs(talk) 14:13, 15 July 2011 (UTC)" In the case of Stephanie Kuhen there are RSes of people who did say "she's white, so that's why her case got focus" - So what I'll do is see if there are observers who distinctly say that in RSes related to Caylee Anthony.

Way back in October '09 you took Goldfinger off the Good Articles list. A number of the issues you raised at the time have since been rectified, although some still need work done on them and there are probably a few new ones as well. I'd like to see the article get back on that list and I hoped you would be able to have a fresh look over it and provide some pointers as to where it could be further edited to reach the appropriate quality. Would you be able to do this, or would you know someone who could? I’ve just been through the same process with Dr No, which is now back on the GA list and Goldfinger would be a greatr way to follow this up. Many thanks! - Schrodinger's cat is alive (talk) 08:38, 17 July 2011 (UTC)
Halo 3It's not that I have a problem with those statements. Its that because they are uncited that there is an issue. Even the most lax members on citing plot would still require citations for vague or descriptive wording. This doesn't have to be secondary sources; it can include specific in-work citiations, but they need to be in-line. If they aren't its OR to say something is "enormous" or to say someone is still ignorant of the fact.陣内Jinnai 15:46, 17 July 2011 (UTC)

Sockpuppeteer unblockedI have to complaint. The account Jabbsworth is the 6 sockpuppet used by the known sockpuppeteer Ratel to evade his block[10][11] and to edit disruptively and warring. I have been affected a lot of times because of this sockpuppeteer. Then I do not understand how Jabbsworth was recently unblocked, precisely just few day after he was blocked by Elockid due the same reason: sockpuppetry to evade a block and edit disruptively and warring. Why have not the affected users been heard? Will he be allowed to edit in the same topics and articles for he got his first blocks because of editing warring and disrputive?-- ClaudioSantos¿? 00:40, 22 July 2011 (UTC)

Thanks, Connormah (talk) 22:12, 9 August 2011 (UTC) Main page appearanceHello! This is a note to let the main editors of this article know that it will be appearing as the main page featured article on August 18, 2011. You can view the TFA blurb at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/August 18, 2011. If you think it is necessary to change the main date, you can request it with the featured article directors Raul654 (talk · contribs) or his delegate Dabomb87 (talk · contribs), or at Wikipedia talk:Today's featured article/requests. If the previous blurb needs tweaking, you might change it—following the instructions of the suggested formatting. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page so Wikipedia doesn't look bad. :D Thanks! Tbhotch.™ Grammatically incorrect? Correct it! See terms and conditions. 04:02, 11 August 2011 (UTC) "200" is the sixth episode of the science fiction television series Stargate SG-1's tenth season, and the two-hundredth episode of the series overall. Unlike the more serious nature of the season's story arc, "200" is a light-hearted parody of both Stargate SG-1 and other sci-fi shows, as well as popular culture such as The Wizard of Oz. "200" won the 2007 Constellation Award for Best Overall 2006 Science Fiction Film or Television Script, and was nominated for the 2007 Hugo Award for Best Dramatic Presentation, Short Form. The episode also marks the first time original SG-1 member Jack O'Neill (Richard Dean Anderson) is seen since the beginning of Season 9. The episode received a 1.9 average household rating, one of the few episodes of the season that surpassed the average rating of Stargate SG-1's previous season. "200" also received near-universal praise for its humor and writing. Despite the strong performance of the episode, the Sci-Fi Channel announced soon after the episode's airing it would not be renewing the series for another season. (more...) Tree shaping RfMYou may remember a recent Arbcom decision in which editors were requested to agree on an appropriate name for the article currently at Tree shaping. There has been a careful discussion on the subject, followed by an RfM which was hastily closed as 'No action' by involved administrator SilkTork. Was this what was envisaged by Arbcom?

Hi David, Just wondering what the reasons were for this revert? It appears that OFLC is an antiquated body and that ACB is the correct organisation to reference for Australia. Thanks, — Manticore 16:05, 31 August 2011 (UTC)
Edit WarHey David, It seems as if I'm engaged in an edit war with an anonymous user who is using multiple proxy servers to make the same exact edit, (on Dota 2, he adds (Defense of the Ancients 2) to the intro and reverts all my edits), and there hasn't been action because apparently his main IP is a "stale" edit, considering he hasn't vandalized with it in a week. I've put in a request for administrator intervention, but somebody else is posting their comment, saying that the evidence is less-than-convincing, since the main IP I'm looking to indefinitely ban is stale. What are your thoughts on this? If you should know, the IP addresses that have used this exact same edit are: 203.87.193.210, 64.255.164.95, 64.255.164.22 and 64.255.164.52. Now, bear in mind that several of the references in the article specifically state that it is not called "Defense of the Ancients 2", but "Dota 2", because Valve views it as a thing, rather than some acronym. May you intervene with this?

should a controversy article describe both sides?The article on the aspartame controversy does not address the controversy but instead promotes the industry’s side of the argument. ( or perhaps this is my bias) My efforts to add research that describes the other side of this controversy have met with failure. The article itself has 20 references to a paper paid for by the industry but presumedly written without knowledge of the sponsor. Do you have any ideas on making it a more NPV article. Or should i just give up? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.172.214.170 (talk) 14:36, 20 September 2011 (UTC)
Part of the controversy is that many journal articles attest to the safety of aspartame but anyone who looks at consumer complaints sees a entirely different story. 75 % of all FDA complaints are due to aspartame. over 3000 complaints to CDC according to reference 8 in the article. Many many web sites ( including one I put up) attest to the harm done by aspartame. But consumer complaints are not peer reviews. Thus they are ignored. Perhaps I am a extremist but I tend to side more with actual cases of sick people instead of lab experiments. People do not get sick to verify lab experiments. The experiments are designed to prevent people from getting sick. In this case they may have failed. Do you agree that it is OK to ignore the many testimonial accounts presented and only present the view of journal articles many of which are published by the industry. Or should the accounts of sick people be given equal creditability. ps I hope it is ok to follow up at least once. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.172.214.170 (talk) 13:33, 21 September 2011 (UTC) A barnstar for you!

Your name is listed in the "Members" section, indicating that you have or had a willingness to help write or critique Dispatches. Since the project was inactive for over a year, I have moved all of the names previously in the Members section to the "Inactive" subsection. If you no longer wish to participate in the capacity described above, you do not need to do anything, this will be the last time you hear from me on the matter of dispatches. If you are, however, still interested in Dispatches, please go put your name back into the main members section. I will take that as an indication that it is okay to continue to send your way both Dispatch related messages and individuals seeking assistance with Dispatches in the areas you specified as being your specialties. I personally am hoping to get at least one Dispatch out before 15 November, so that the section can avoid being officially inactive for a full year (the last dispatch was 15 November 2010). Cheers!
