Thanks for you help with the September 2011 Move To Commons drive!
The September 2011 Move To Commons drive was a tremendous success! We blew away our main goal, and our secondary goal was 97% complete by the end. Thanks for doing your part! For transferring 57 files you earned the Original Barnstar. Thanks again, and I hope you'll help out with future Wikimedia drives. – Quadell (talk) 18:31, 2 October 2011 (UTC) | ![]() |

Outreach Oceania help
Just a request for when you're awake to help improve Outreach_Oceania/Organisations to more clearly, and in the least offensive way possible, articulate exactly what we are offering and why they should want to have us in their schools. :) --LauraHale (talk) 06:00, 11 October 2011 (UTC)

→ Reference Sharing
Hi Guerillero, i like your idea at WikiProject Punk music/References. How do you plan to exploit it? Benzband (talk) 15:22, 13 October 2011 (UTC)
- Thank you. Its a fairly basic idea. Over time I, and other here on wikipedia, have built up substantial personal libraries and/or go to a university and have "free" access to databases such as JSTOR. I am offering to share some of the wealth with anyone else who is a part of the project that may need help verifying a source, writing an article, etc. --Guerillero | My Talk 17:40, 13 October 2011 (UTC)
- Right, i get it now. I had already came across something a bit like it at WP:Library. Anyway, if i come across any books to which i have access, i'll try to add them to the list. Benzband (talk) 18:53, 13 October 2011 (UTC) :)
possible compromise?
Toward your comment at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jenna Rose (3rd nomination) that you feel her having multiple viral video releases and coverage since 2009 is somehow a BLP1E, might you feel an incubation for a few months might make sense, specially as the article NOW is in far better shape than it was when it was renominated 20 days after a keep. This should serve to allow continued collaborative editing and could hold of the expected drama when some "fan" tries to recreate the article. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 20:52, 13 October 2011 (UTC)
