Where can you report a user who continues to put hoax information in an article? WayneSlam 00:28, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

If they persist despite being warned, it can be considered persistent vandalism, and can be reported to WP:AIV. The Utahraptor^Talk/_Contribs 00:30, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

Your tip

I put the cheers as part of my signature, I sometimes forget on pages. I think of it as a friendly gesture. Cheers! ► Wireless Keyboard ◄ 00:39, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

GOCE January Backlog elimination drive conclusion

Guild of Copy Editors January 2011 Backlog elimination drive Greetings from the January 2011 Backlog elimination drive! We have reached the end of the month and the end of another successful drive; thanks to all who participated. Statistics 54 people signed up for the year's first Backlog elimination drive. Of these, 40 participated. One of our goals was to reduce the size of the backlog by at least 10%. We managed to reduce the backlog by 633 articles, or about 12%. Another goal was to eliminate as many 2009 months as possible from the queue. We eliminated January, February, March, and April—4 out of 12 months is not bad! In addition, we eliminated 37% of all remaining 2009 articles from the queue. Chaosdruid copy edited Kutch Gurjar Kashtriya for 32,711 words, which is the largest single article completed in one of our drives so far. This article counts as six 5000-K articles, and Chaosdruid wins the "most 5000-K articles" leaderboard category. Way to go! A complete list of individual results is here. Barnstars If you copy edited at least 4,000 words, you qualify for a barnstar. If you participated in the November 2010 Backlog elimination drive, you may have earned roll-over words (more details can be found here). These roll-over words count as credit towards earning barnstars, except for leaderboard awards. We will be delivering the barnstars within the next couple of weeks. Thank you for participating in this year's first Backlog elimination drive! We hope to see you in March. Your drive coordinators –S Masters (talk), Diannaa (talk), The Utahraptor (talk), and Tea with toast (talk)

Help me

I tried to add this to my monobook page to see if my welcome summary would say using Friendly instead of TW and tried to welcome a user but nothing happened. Why didn't it make an effect? WayneSlam 23:32, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

Friendly development has merged into Twinkle development, and so all edit summaries will say TW. Logan _Talk ^{Contributions} 23:34, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

Then how did this happen? WayneSlam 23:36, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

Try disabling Twinkle as a gadget and reinstall Friendly using the import script code. Logan _Talk ^{Contributions} 23:38, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

I only have Friendly and HotCat installed as gadgets. I not sure another way to fix that. WayneSlam 23:40, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

Wayne, you can look at the diffs. You just can't look at the page history to see if it was reverted. Tofutwitch11 ^(TALK) 00:38, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

Okay, Tofutwitch. WayneSlam 00:40, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

I'm not going to say this again

The next time you post non-public information on-wiki, you will be blocked from editing. Courcelles 01:24, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

Hi Wayne, just in case you're wondering what Courcelles is referring to, I think it's because you mentioned my name in the edit summary on my talk page as well as on my talk page itself. Not to worry, I've removed it from the talk page and removed the edit summary. Courcelles has deleted the text so nobody will be able to get back to that revision. And I will give you some diffs of vandalism if I see any about :) --5 albert square (talk) 01:40, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

I'm sorry. I was told how to put content of what I put in the talk page or any page in the edit summary. I guess I have to call you 5 albert square instead of your name for this reason. WayneSlam 02:04, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

That's ok, no harm done :)--5 albert square (talk) 02:07, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

Article of the month – 2010 Price Chopper 400, a recent GA The 2010 Price Chopper 400 was a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series stock car race that was held on October 3, 2010 at Kansas Speedway in Kansas City, Kansas. The 300 lap race was the twenty-ninth in the 2010 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. The race was also the third event in the ten round Chase for the Sprint Cup competititon , which would concluded the 2010 season. Greg Biffle, of the Roush Fenway Racing team, won the race, with Jimmie Johnson finishing second and Kevin Harvick third. Pole position driver Kasey Kahne maintained his lead on the first lap to begin the race, as Jeff Gordon, who started in the third position on the grid, remained behind him. Twenty-three laps later Jeff Gordon became the leader of the race. After the final pit stops, Paul Menard became the leader of the race, but with less than fifty laps remaining, Biffle passed him. He maintained the first position to lead a total of sixty laps, and to win his second race of the season. There were five cautions and twenty lead changes among twelve different drivers throughout the course of the race. It was Greg Biffle's second win in the 2010 season, and the sixteenth of his career. The result moved Biffle up to eighth in the Drivers' Championship, eighty-five points behind Jimmie Johnson and sixteen ahead of Jeff Burton. Chevrolet maintained its lead in the Manufacturers' Championship, thirty-seven ahead of Toyota and seventy-seven ahead of Ford, with seven races remaining in the season. A total of 100,000 people attended the race, while 5.25 million watched it on television. (More...)
