Hello Wikifiers! Sorry this Newsletter is late, It should have gone out a month ago. I've been very busy in real life and didn't have time to get over to the newsletter. In this edition of the Newsletter, we have an editorial written by our new executive coordinator; Guoguo12. Guoguo12 has succeeded Mono due to an indefinite wikibreak. We also have the results of the February and March Mini drives. Happy Wikifying, Sumsum2010, the assistant coordinator of WikiProject Wikify

My recent edit to Wesleyan University- which was this edit was indeed an edit made in good character and not intended to promote the article's subject. I would respectfully ask that you visit the citation (#183 on the page) to see that I was simply undoing this edit.

The Wesleyan fight song's official version (per the Wesleyan website) does in fact include the words "Go Wes!" If you could undo the deletion and make the section accurate, it would be appreciated. (http://www.wesleyan.edu/about/traditions.html) Smartalic34 (talk) 00:23, 25 May 2011 (UTC)

Opps, sorry! I restored the article to your version. Usb10 ^{plug me in} 00:24, 25 May 2011 (UTC)

I have removed the {{prod}} tag from Evolove, which you proposed for deletion. I'm leaving this message here to notify you about it. If you still think the article should be deleted, please don't add the {{prod}} template back to the article. Instead, feel free to list it at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. Thanks!

Hi there! You are receiving this message because you are a participant of WikiProject Wikify. After the retirements of our first two executive coordinators, Mono and Guoguo12, WikiProject Wikify is undergoing a period of transition. We are currently holding a discussion to create a plan for the future, find volunteers to help fill our many administrative positions, collect any feedback about what has happened in the last six months, propose some new guidelines, and see if there are any creative ideas to increase participation. We appreciate your input!

You tagged this article as both A7 and G1 and I just wanted to let you know that I removed the G1. Content of the article included stuff like

"Lachlan Astley was born somewhere in Sydney Australia during the fall of 1990. The exact date and circumstances of his birth are unknown since he was immediately placed in a basket and tossed in the Pacific Ocean. Young Lachlan rode the rough ocean waters for thousands of miles until a young American woman from California discovered the basket along the banks of the San Francisco Bay. Some say it was this first early journey to America that fueled both his love of exploration and fashion. The woman would raise Lachlan as her own, naming him Lachlan from an old Australian friend and giving him the surname Astley to reflect on his newly American heritage."

and this is easily legible. Please make sure that you only use G1 if the content is completely unreadable. Thanks, Nolelover ^{Talk·Contribs} 02:25, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

Opps, sorry. When I first looked at it, I saw that some of the sections said some pretty strange stuff (he was dumped into the SF bay in a basket when he was born?) so that was why I marked it G1. I'll try to be a little bit more careful. Usb10 ^{plug me in} 02:30, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

Thanks :) Just remember that to a new user, getting your work called "incoherent text or gibberish" can be a little insulting, so it should be used sparingly. Nolelover ^{Talk·Contribs} 02:34, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

I just reverted your revert of an IP's edits to the article. The IP removed a duplicated section, which was entirely in order. Favonian (talk) 18:09, 8 January 2012 (UTC)

Hi Usb10,

I just wanted to give you a heads-up about the next wiki-meetup happening in SF. It'll be located at our very own Wikimedia Foundation offices, and we'd love it if some local editors who are new to the meetup scene came and got some free lunch with us :) Please sign up on the meetup page if you're interested in attending, and I hope to see you soon!

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you.Edinburgh Wanderer 18:23, 8 January 2012 (UTC)

sorry forgot to advise you this is back at ANI not that it's worth anything. Edinburgh Wanderer 13:15, 12 January 2012 (UTC)

Hi Usb10,

You are receiving this message either because you expressed an opinion about the proposed SOPA blackout before full blackout and soft blackout were adequately differentiated, or because you expressed general support without specifying a preference. Please ensure that your voice is heard by clarifying your position accordingly.

Thank you.

These two edits were clearly not vandalism; please do not use the vandalism option in Twinkle except for cases of actual vandalism. Actually, given that only one of the two edits was potentially problematic (the other actually improved the article), it would have been best to simply re-add the CSD tag if you felt it was warranted, and not revert the edits. Nikkimaria (talk) 04:44, 18 January 2012 (UTC)

		The Original Barnstar
		This barnstar is awarded to everyone who - whatever their opinion - contributed to the discussion about Wikipedia and SOPA. Thank you for being a part of the discussion. Presented by the Wikimedia Foundation.

Had one of your PROD's from some time back contested (I believe your PROD was a very good call given the state of the article at the time), you may wish to take a look at it and the discussion here User_talk:Joe_Decker#Deletion_of_article_on_Tyler_Cassidy. There's some sourcing out there, but I haven't looked deeply to see how much, so I don't have an opinion myself (at least yet) about whether it should be taken to AfD or not, I'll leave that to your judgment. Thanks! --joe decker^{talk to me} 19:23, 29 February 2012 (UTC)

All you have to do is put an asterisk next to the largest article you've wikified, and coordinators will check its wordcount after the drive ends. If you have a spare moment, please join and wikify an article or tell your friends. Thanks! Note: The drive started April 1, and you can sign up anytime!
