Copyedit

Nice work cleaning up and copyediting the Patriots article. Sometimes, those errors are overlooked; we could really use more good copyediting wikipedians like yourself :) Deckiller 00:40, 5 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Pink Floyd copyedits

Nice work copyediting the Pink Floyd article. I can't believe "recieving" (sic) went unnoticed for so long. I'm currently trying to clean the article up to the point of submitting it for featured article status, and the kind of copyediting a fresh eye like yourself brings to such a project is invaluable.

If you don't mind a bit of constructive criticism, try to make more use of edit summaries, even if it's just a quick "copyedit" or "typo" comment. I didn't use them for a long time, but now realize how helpful they are, especially for people keeping a close eye on a page.

Once again, great work - looking at your contributions, not just on the Floyd's article. - dharmabum 09:10, 5 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I agree you're doing a great job, although it might be a good idea to use the aforementioned copyedits and reply to comments so we can get some brainstorming or ideas folowing. Thanks! Deckiller 13:53, 5 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Once again (Finding Their Feet section), you got my back. :) - dharmabum 08:48, 10 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don't mind the reversions, but "onto" is still not wholly acceptable in British English: see www.askoxford.com. Chris 42 11:22, 9 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Copyedits

Nice job...out of curiosity, are you an English major? Deckiller 18:52, 6 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No, I'm just really anal about grammar...had several teachers in high school who had a strong dislike for improper parallelism, split infinitives, etc. InTheFlesh? 18:56, 6 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Anon image vandal

Sorry about that, we just had 5 image vandals in a row and I was blatantly slapping on warnings / reverts. I accidentally threw in a block on sight request on the CVU irc channel, I don't think you got blocked but if you do, please let me know or point an admin to your talk page.

The Game

People look at my user page? I'm astounded! Now I doubt you sat through my sub-page rant about userboxes (here, if I'm right but now you're interested), and I realize that this userbox does not fit into a category which i qualify as useful but it's just so.....good.....that I had to leave it in.

Oh, and sorry for making you lose again.--jfg284 ^{you were saying?} 23:16, 14 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Featured!

Pink Floyd is now a featured article! Thanks a ton for all your great work on the article that helped get it through, I had no idea what I was getting into, and your keen eye for grammar really had my back throughout the process. - dharmabum 22:54, 17 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Dammit! I just lost the game. - dharmabum 22:55, 17 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

New Sports Wiki/Community

I noticed you were a Patriots fan. My friends and I started a sports wiki/community that you may be interested in. It uses Wikipedia's software but we made a lot of technological improvements to allow for more news, opinion articles, and better integration of sports statistics.

Linkspam removed: links available in history here: [1]

When you get the chance, let me know what you think. And feel free to use it.

Thanks! --Roblefko 01:43, 10 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hey this is the guy that tried to edit the Red Sox page and put that they require you to retire with the Sox. Actually, Fisk did retire/end his career with the Bosox. They hired him for 1 day as a "special assistant" to the Red Sox and Dan Duquette. I know the Sox site says that this is not required but I'm positive it is or else why would they ever hire Fisk?

WikiProject Star Wars newsletter

Project updates
Greetings, Star Wars editors! Deckiller here. It's the first edition of the WikiProject Star Wars newsletter, and yes, it's a semi-ripoff of the Esperenza newsletter. I think it's important to begin with some good news: Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones, Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, and Jabba the Hutt have reached featured article status! Kudos to the editors who helped obtain these achievements! WikiProject Star Wars is also on a mission to improve Star Wars articles using the following ideas: An out of universe perspective versus an in universe perspective (see Wikipedia:Writing about fiction and the future ammendments to our manual of style) Evolving lists into regular articles Moving excess information and specifics to Wookieepedia (and providing links to Wookieepedia per the "see also" and/or "external links" sections) Enhanced communication amongst WikiProject members More to come These should provide the basic steps needed to improve and "encyclopedia-fy" the Star Wars series of articles.
Things to do
There are plenty of Wikipedia:WikiProject Star Wars/things to do. An update to the page is coming very soon, and it will represent the new and exciting changes that Star Wars pages will be receiving!
Out-of-universe versus in-universe perspectives
Although details are forthcoming, I would like to take this time to explain the gist of this concept. Wikipedia has generally agreed that fictional articles should write about the topic from a "real world" perspective, focusing on real world issues and topics, with a section or two for plot synopsis and so on. Jabba the Hutt is a solid character example, and Clone Wars (Star Wars) is quickly moving toward an out of universe perspective.

Article evolution

As many of you know, lists of minor Star Wars-related themes are very common on Wikipedia; however, since these may be seen as violations of Wikipedia policy (and having seperate articles would breach even more policies), the tentative solution is to create general articles on a list's topic (for example, turning List of Star Wars devices into Technology of Star Wars, which allows us to cover everything from hyperspace to comlinks in a general encyclopedic fashion). This can be very tough for some broad topics, so the key is organization. I encourage all editors to list their ideas on the WikiProject talk page. It will be a very difficult — but tangible — effort.

For an example, let me point you to the Final Fantasy WikiProject. Some of us over at that WikiProject decided to turn various components of Final Fantasy X, such as Pyreflies, Yevon, and the backstory — into an article describing the world of Spira. Location descriptions were given a List of locations in Spira article, and the details themselves were placed on the Spira (Final Fantasy X) page. This is a decent template to follow — however, we will need to place priority on out-of-universe, "real life" topics and perspectives in realtion to the article.

Sounds confusing, eh? It won't, for examples will be popping up left and right in the near future!

Signed...
