Awesome GNOMAGE
[edit]Your gnoming at the Wikipedia:Articles for creation backlog is MOST welcome. Just curious, are you interested in participating in the WikiProject? You can find it at WP:WPAFC. Hope to see you there!--Xnuala (talk)(Review) 01:48, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
Most welcome indeed, Chebbs. I'd like to remind you of a couple of items. First, when you review the final remaining proposal on a page, make sure to change the {{afc n}} template to {{afc c}} to indicate that all the items have been reviewed. Second, don't forget to use {{afc accept}} on the proposal when you create an article. Thanks again! Powers T 23:43, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
- Cheers, thanks for the invite guys, and the reminders (think i was editing while sleepy yesterday!) Glad to be of help fighting the backlogs! Chebbs 12:11, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

WikiProject Articles for creation needs your help! |
| WikiProject Articles for creation has done a tremendous job in working at WP:AFC over the past 7½ months. Thank you all for your hard work and dedication! Together, we've made the submission process easier and more streamlined, developed tools to make the process go faster for reviewers, and cut the backlog down to a mere fraction of what it once was. Well done! As you all are aware, however, our work is not quite yet done. The project still has 10 archive pages left to complete, which include over half a month's worth of submissions, many of which have not been completely reviewed. We need your help to finish looking over these neglected submissions so that we can finally remove the backlog notice from the page, and put an end to the more than two year old backlog that has been a thorn in our side for ages! Participants will receive an AFC Barnstar, so hurry up and help out while there's still work to be done! Make sure to sign in on the WikiProject's talk page so we know who is involved in what promises to be our final effort to complete this goal. Thank you for all your help! |

AfC news
[edit]Dear AfC participant,
- Msgj and Tnxman307 are organising the AfC challenge! It's a little competition to help improve some of the articles created through AfC and we are hoping that everyone will get involved. For level 1, you just need to bring a stub up to Start-class. Level 2 is improving a Start-class article to C-class. And so on. To get involved or for more information please see the competition page.
- Those of you who haven't reviewed an article recently might not have noticed the new process that was implemented this year. Reviewing articles is now more enjoyable than ever :) You might like to give it a try. All articles waiting for review are in Category:Pending Afc requests. (Please read the updated instructions.)
- Please consider adding {{AFC status}} to your userpage to keep track of the number of articles waiting for review. At the time of writing we are officially backlogged, so help is needed!
- There is currently a proposal to bring the Images for upload process under the umbrella of WikiProject Articles for creation. The rationale is that both processes are designed to allow unregistered users to take part more fully in Wikipedia, and partipants in each process can probably help each other.
If you no longer wish to receive messages from WikiProject Articles for creation, please remove your name from this list. Thank you.
Hello. The edits were mainly due to the Wikipedia style guide - full names should be given (as, unlike within the project, readers won't be on 'first name terms' with the individuals). Therefore, any names not known should really have been left out. I see that this is, however, now fixed. The AV Festival sentence is accurate, I understand that it's not the most positive piece of information, but stating that NE1fm covered the entire Newcastle part of the AV Festival would be inaccurate (and NPOV, by omitting a negative fact). The point about the guests is fair enough, however a plethora of shows have had guests at some point, so it could be argued that almost every show qualifies for that distinction (for example, The Hedley Show was a show presented by one person most of the time, but occasionally featured co-presentation from other individuals). It's better to simply list the presenters whom are present on a weekly basis (Stefan Wilkes, for example, is not listed under The Lunchtime Lick as he is apparently not regularly presenting that anymore).

- I have now added some clarification about the presenters listed being those that appear on a weekly basis. Esteffect (talk) 18:59, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
- You're free to amend any factual inaccuracies, however as you say - with the original plan being to cover more - I think it's necessary to note that that did not happen. From what you say, adding "& guests" actually complicates matters because it wouldn't be clear which are one-off guests, and which appear weekly. I think it's best to leave that incomplete for now.
