Wikipedia:Factual review

I saw your proposed idea on the Factual review page, and I think it's great. I would be willing to collaborate with you to get this project off the ground; it has a lot of potential that I wouldn't like to see go to waste. Contact me on my talk page if you feel like getting this up and going. Elucidate ^{(parlez à moi)} Ici pour humor 20:27, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Signpost updated for November 17, 2008 and before.

Because the Signpost hasn't been sent in a while, to save space, I've condensed all seven issues that were not sent into this archive. Only the three issues from November are below.

File:Rating level 1.png

Thomas, I restored this file which was deleted earlier due to it not having a copyright tag. Would you mind adding one as the image is used at Wikipedia:Flagged revisions/reliable revisions. –Moondyne 13:43, 23 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have done so—public domain. Cheers! – Thomas H. Larsen 06:46, 24 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Message on jimbo's talk page

I just saw your message in regard to rodhullandemu briefly quitting, and I think your project is a great idea. I'd love to get involved in setting it up; if you feel this isn't appropriate (too late down the path, people already working on it) would you able to give me a poke when the project is up? Ironholds (talk) 14:14, 30 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'd be happy to let you know when the project is up! At the moment, it's just me and another person working on the project; I'd have to ask him first before giving you access to the site. If you have any ideas that you'd like to have implemented, though, I'd love to hear them. We're aiming for a public launch in early-to-mid-January. – Thomas H. Larsen 04:40, 31 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'd need to know more specifics about the system itself before suggesting things as my points might be already covered (ooh, ohh! Lets have it as a wikipedia-style website, only with mandatory account creation! sorta thing). Ironholds (talk) 07:31, 31 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Question Sir

Hey there,

I am not sure if this is the right place to ask this, so please excuse the intrusion if it isnt. I was wondering what are the best tools or addons for doing editing to make it as easy as possible? Do you have any suggestion as to what tools might be useful? To date ive simply been using twilight but it seems to be lacking.

Thanks, i really appreciate the help!Mmackinnon (talk) 21:33, 24 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
