Hello Matty.007. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of [[:FRS Iberia/Maroc]], a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: '''Being an international ferry service is enough of an indication of importance to not be eligable for speedy deletion.'''

As of this morning, I completed my (initial) goal of ensuing that every Boat Race had, not only its own article, but one that was either of [[Wikipedia:Good Articles|GA]] or [[Wikipedia:Featured Articles|FA]] status: we now have 158 GAs and 3 FAs that we can all be proud of! It doesn't stop here, for me at least, I'm going to keep up with improving the quality of the GAs and look for more FA opportunities. Plus, there's the small matter of 70 [[Women's Boat Race]] articles to get up and running! But thanks again, I couldn't have done it without your help.

The article [[Timeline of Swiss history]] has been [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed for deletion]]  because of the following concern: |
|||
== [[Template:Did you know nominations/Mick Brennan (alpine skier)]] issues == |
|||
:'''Would be useful if somebody had done some actual work. As it is, this article has remained in this unsourced, fragmentary, partially incorrect and generally useless state since 2013. No timeline is better than this kind of timeline. Can be restored if somebody wants to seriously work on it, of course.''' |
|||
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be [[WP:DEL#REASON|deleted for any of several reasons]]. |
|||
Matty.007, I had to pull this nomination back from prep due to issues with the hook and the article. I imagine you'll want to address these as soon as possible, since the Paralympics are ongoing. The source where I found out about Brennan's Super G race results is [http://www.disabilitysnowsport.org.uk/What-We-Do/British-Disabled-Ski-Team.aspx here], though this may not be sufficiently neutral—a news source is probably best for citing.

::Hey, Matty - Well done! Just a quick heads up though (in case someone picks up on it {{P|3}}) - it seems to have picked up an unreferenced template in the ancestors section in the last few days.

== Toothache DYK == |
|||
Thank you for your attention in this matter. Ping to {{u|Ian Furst}}, although may not respond atm due to internet access. Regarding this DYK, my only 2 concerns are that 1. the article is not currently as good as it could be (although it did pass a GAN recently, there is much work left to do), and 2. the wording ''"...that toothache (pictured) can be caused by the brain?"'' is problematic. Clearly you are referring to "non-odontogenic toothache", i.e. one of the causes of toothache that is not the teeth. However, I am not sure which of these causes of toothache are being referred to as being "caused by the brain". Please note that migraine, trigeminal neuralgia, cluster headache are all associated with the peripheral nervous system, not the central nervous system (i.e. in nerves rather than the brain). Perhaps you were referring to [[psychogenic pain]], but this is so poorly understood and rare topic, that "caused by the brain" is a potentially false statement. I have made some suggestions as to how the topic might be more accurately described in a DYK link, hope these are helpful. [[User:Lesion|<font color="maroon">'''Lesion'''</font>]] ([[User talk:Lesion|<font color="maroon">''talk''</font>]]) 13:31, 14 March 2014 (UTC) |
|||
* Did you know that toothache may sometimes be caused by sinusitis? |
|||
* ...that toothache can sometimes occur in the absence of disorders of the teeth? |
|||
* ... that toothache is the most common form of dental emergency? |
|||
:Just to note, Ian had responded on the DYK nom page. Anyway, in response to your issues: the article doesn't have to be spotless, being a new GA it is likely better than the vast majority of the new/expanded pages nominated. The hook I got (as I always do) from the article; in this instance in the 'Non-dental causes' section, "Local and distant structures (e.g. ear, brain, carotid artery or heart) can also refer pain to the teeth.[35]", and this is what the hook is based on. I will suggest the hook that I actually properly understand (with my limited medical knowledge), but we need to bear in mind that the majority of the readers on the main page will be looking for a quirky fact.

== IRC notes on re-imagaining mentorship == |
|||
Here's the rest of my notes from the IRC room. BTW, I trimmed out {{u|TheOriginalSoni}}'s comments because I didn't have his permission to post 'em. |
|||
<pre> |
|||
<Matty007> Would someone be albe to leave a summary on my talk page please, as I have to go now? Thanks |
|||
<halfak> Will do Matty007 |
|||
<Matty007> Thank you! Night all |
|||
<halfak> I'm just typing there for my notes now |
|||
<halfak> Once we worked out the implications of the proposed budget, we were at ~ $26500 |
|||
<halfak> We decided that was too high and gave everyone a ~$5/hour pay cut. |
|||
<halfak> Next discussion was about things that need to be cleaned up/fleshed out on the grant proposal. |
|||
<halfak> We discussed cleaning up the "The Solution" section. Soni, Gabe and Ocaasi will take that on. |
|||
<halfak> Next we discussed how we'll measure our impact. |
|||
<halfak> I'll be writing up a measurement plan. Ocaasi had some thoughts about doing qualitative measures. |
|||
<halfak> Final thoughts: Everyone go work on the proposal. |
|||
</pre> |
|||
We need to have the proposal in a good state by the 24th to give people enough time to [[:m:Grants:IEG/Reimagining_Wikipedia_Mentorship#Endorsements|add their endorsement]] to the proposal. --<span style="display:inline-block;padding:0 .25em;border:1px solid #999;box-shadow:.1em .1em .1em rgba(0,0,0,.5);border-radius:3px;">[[User:EpochFail|EpochFail]]</span> ([[User_talk:EpochFail|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/EpochFail|contribs]]) 22:29, 22 March 2014 (UTC) |

::Yes, mamba venom contains pre-synaptic neurotoxins called "dendrotoxins", which are unique to the ''Dendroaspis'' genus. Dendrotoxins are molecules of very low molecular weight and low viscosity and spread through tissue extraordinarily rapidly. The western green mamba venom has toxicity ratings or LD<sub>50</sub> that is similar to some of the more venomous cobra species, but mortality rates with green mamba bites are often significantly higher and time between envenomation and death is often much shorter due to the unique and devastating nature of these dendrotoxins. Mamba victims, particularly black mamba victims, often have a very, very short time span to get to a well-equipped hospital. --[[User:DendroNaja|<span style="background: #000000; font-family:Courier New; font-size: 10pt; color: White">Dendro†Naja</span>]][[User Talk:DendroNaja |<span style="font-family:Courier New; color: #000000;"><sup>Talk to me!</sup></span>]] 04:38, 31 March 2014 (UTC) |

== WikiCup 2014 March newsletter == |
|||
A quick update as we are half way through round two of this year's competition. WikiCup newcomer {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant5|Godot13}} (Pool E) leads, having produced a massive set of featured pictures for [[Silver certificate (United States)]], an article also brought to featured list status. Former finalist {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant5|Adam Cuerden}} (Pool G) is in second, which he owes mostly to his work with historical images, including a number of images from ''[[Urania's Mirror]]'', an article also brought to good status. 2010 champion {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant5|Sturmvogel_66}} (Pool C) is third overall, thanks to contributions relating to naval history, including the newly featured [[Japanese battleship Nagato|Japanese battleship ''Nagato'']]. {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant5|Cliftonian}}, who currently leads Pool A and is sixth overall, takes the title for the highest scoring individual article of the competition so far, with the top importance featured article [[Ian Smith]]. |
|||
With 26 people having already scored over 100 points, it is likely that well over 100 points will be needed to secure a place in round 3. Recent years have required 123 (2013), 65 (2012), 41 (2011) and 100 (2010). Remember that only 64 will progress to round 3 at the end of April. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page; if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points equally. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on [[Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews]]. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to help keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on [[Wikipedia talk:WikiCup]], and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email.

== Dispiriting == |
|||
Re: Winkler. Between the "sounding a pedant" part and you're coming back with a second round of new concerns, the process felt dispiriting -- brownies aside. It's not that your concerns weren't valid or that they didn't improve the article. To me, the process grew quibbly and finicky -- rather than focused. And you seemed happy to move the finish line around at your own pleasure. You could have copied the Brunswick reference later in the article up to where you wanted it in a fraction of the time it took to communicate what you wanted me to do. Try in the future to provide a single round of review comments for a DYK -- and keep comments succinct. Thanks. Best. [[User:842U|842U]] ([[User talk:842U|talk]]) 20:24, 2 April 2014 (UTC) |
|||
:I figured it wasn't the most encouraging thing you've done, but I hope you can see where I am coming from. I have had a couple of poor articles of mine on the main page, and it's not an experience to try again. The reason I didn't copy the ref (I normally would if I could) was partially that I forgot, and partially that I didn't feel it needed the ref there if it was sourced later. Providing a single round of comments can be pointless, I can spend a fair amount of time pointing out issues, and the nominator will simply do nothing (see [[Template:Did you know nominations/Everything is Awesome]], I gave a comment regarding size, which was ignored). I am very sorry for making it hard for you, and hope you come back to nominate more articles, and don't mind me reviewing other nominations of yours in the future.

|||
"Boden launched his clothing company in 1991. While on a banking assignment in New York, he was inspired by the high standards set by American mail order firms and on his return to Britain sent out his first catalogue featuring just eight menswear products. The whole operation was run from his flat. Today the internet has become his main business tool, turnover is more than Pounds 128m a year and he employs 600 staff. He made Pounds 22.8m profit in 2006." |

::Seems to be he was number 368 on the list (of 1000 richest people) in 2013 and was worth a total of £320 million; In 2012 he was number 255 and total worth was also £320 million. |
|||
::It's a bit difficult to work out with all the screeds of names and figures. Maybe this quote from Butler, Sarah. The Observer [London (UK)] 26 May 2013 might help clarify: |
|||
:{{quote|In the UK, sales growth has slowed as even Boden's relatively well-off shoppers, with a typical household income of pounds 70,000, are feeling the economic strain. The company has responded by cutting the price of its cheapest items, such as T-shirts, by about 20% and improving services such as delivery. Boden admits: "This year has not been as great as it should have been." Profits fell 45% to pounds 17.9m on sales of pounds 245.9m in 2011 - the latest figures - amid tough conditions and a big increase in the price of cotton, which is widely used in Boden clothes. But growth abroad and lower cotton prices lifted profits again last year, although the company will not reveal by how much. Boden, who is estimated to be sitting on a pounds 320m fortune according to the Sunday Times rich list, says he has no plans to sell his 60% stake (the rest is owned by former and current staff) or seek outside investment and wants to stay involved in the business "for as long as I'm good at it".}} |

* Check your inbox and let me know what it's come out like? The £320 million is the total of £215 million plus the £105 million - I'm still trying to work out what the two figures indicate (maybe personal wealth for one and ??? for the other).

Hi Matty, I've been pottering with a few parasport articles. One is the recent [[2014 IPC Powerlifting World Championships]], which I started on the 8th, and saw 14 out of the 20 winning medalists set world records. I think it has enough text in it to pass DYK, but I can always increase it if you think it needs more puff. While today's London Marathon winning men's wheelchair racer [[Marcel Hug]], now has an article more befitting an athlete of his prominence.

Boat Race work[edit]
|
The Running Man Barnstar | |
| Hey Matty, just a quick barnstar to say thanks for work on Boat Race articles you've conducted over the past year. As of this morning, I completed my (initial) goal of ensuing that every Boat Race had, not only its own article, but one that was either of GA or FA status: we now have 158 GAs and 3 FAs that we can all be proud of! It doesn't stop here, for me at least, I'm going to keep up with improving the quality of the GAs and look for more FA opportunities. Plus, there's the small matter of 70 Women's Boat Race articles to get up and running! But thanks again, I couldn't have done it without your help.

June 2015 Wikification drive.[edit]
Greetings! Just spreading a message to the members of WikiProject Wikify that the June drive has been started. Come on, sign up! :) "A wiki of beauty is a joy forever." Seriously. That's how long it'd take to read! (talk) 04:42, 2 June 2015 (UTC)
Helping w/ requested articles[edit]
Hey! I'm looking to practice the new article creation process and it looks like you help run the requested articles page, which seems like a good place to do so. Would I literally just grab one of the article titles in red and go to town or is there more to it than that? Scerniglia (talk) 16:48, 24 July 2015 (UTC)
Proposed deletion of Timeline of Swiss history[edit]
The article Timeline of Swiss history has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- Would be useful if somebody had done some actual work. As it is, this article has remained in this unsourced, fragmentary, partially incorrect and generally useless state since 2013. No timeline is better than this kind of timeline. Can be restored if somebody wants to seriously work on it, of course.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Sandstein 15:23, 15 September 2015 (UTC)
Nomination of Timeline of Swiss history for deletion[edit]
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Timeline of Swiss history until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Sandstein 10:03, 17 September 2015 (UTC)
