I quite like the {{Backlog progress bar}}. Can you add the "Goal", "Current", "Initial" and the purge link in the same format to the right of the bar itself? Also can you have all that as an option for displaying? Thanks. -- Alan Liefting (talk - contribs) 02:42, 23 September 2012 (UTC)Reply

This is quite extraordinary. Today is the first day I've edited Wikipedia in over a year. I don't know what to say. I suppose I'll do my best to add the requested features, but I suggest you go ahead and experiment with the template. I'll have to get back to you on that one. Guoguo12 (Talk)  02:52, 23 September 2012 (UTC)Reply

Wow!!

I am not very good at template coding but I might be able to do what I want with {{Progression}}. Cheers. -- Alan Liefting (talk - contribs) 02:56, 23 September 2012 (UTC)Reply

Hey! It's so great to see you back again! Ryan Vesey 04:04, 23 September 2012 (UTC)Reply

Yeah, I couldn't resist. I'm glad things are going well. I don't know if I'll be able to edit much, but I'll do what I can. Great to be working with you (and WikiProject Wikify) again! Guoguo12 (Talk)  04:06, 23 September 2012 (UTC)Reply

Yep, just to catch you up some, we got rid of {{Wikify}}. It has been replaced with the other templates that deal with Wikification (so it is easier for editors to focus on the issues they are good at). I've started Wikipedia:WikiProject Wikify/Track, which can be used outside of drives to keep track. Ryan Vesey 04:08, 23 September 2012 (UTC)Reply

I like the idea, although the progress percentages don't seem to be displaying properly. Has anything else changed in the last, well, year? Guoguo12 (Talk)  04:12, 23 September 2012 (UTC)Reply

Okay, wait, never mind. They are working correctly. Apparently, I wrote that template. Fascinating. Guoguo12 (Talk)  04:14, 23 September 2012 (UTC)Reply

On WikiProject Wikify? Not really. There aren't any coordinators currently editing; although, Benzband does a ton of work with the project. Nolelover and I are still working with it, but are too busy to formally accept a position. For policy, the biggest change is that Pending Changes is coming back in December. Ryan Vesey 04:24, 23 September 2012 (UTC)Reply

Okay, I see. Guoguo12 (Talk)  04:26, 23 September 2012 (UTC)Reply

Hi, Guoguo! I'll check to see if I can restore it right away, or if I have to submit it to a process. I'll be back shortly! WhisperToMe (talk) 04:31, 23 September 2012 (UTC)Reply

Hi, Legolover. I have commented at the talk page. Guoguo12 (Talk)  19:51, 25 September 2012 (UTC)Reply

Hello. Sorry for interrupting you for such stupid reason, but it's very important for me. I can't find lyrics of Andy Williams' "Pennies from Heaven" (from "The wonderful world of Andy Williams" album), and I can't understand it by hear cause of my poor English (as you can see). Please, if it's not very difficult for you, could you please check out my lyrics and fill blank spaces? Don't laugh too much, OK? :)

My gosh, it's good to see you back! How in the world have you been? Hope your little vacation went well: obviously the 'pedia pretty much broke without you. ;) In all seriousness though, it is good to have another active WWF leader around. I'm pretty inactive right now, and as you can see the project is undergoing some interesting changes (I swear I've used that last phrase for the last two years). Nolelover ^{Talk·Contribs} 17:16, 3 October 2012 (UTC)Reply

Hi Nolelover! Great to be talking to you after over a year. I'm fine, and I hope you've been doing well also. I'm not sure how active I'll be, because of my schoolwork, but it's great to be back. I'm not really sure what to say, but I certainly want to thank you for what you've done for me (and for Wikipedia in general). So much has changed, as you've mentioned. The community portal, for instance, is completely different! (I honestly think it was more interesting and more useful when it was cluttered with links.) Anyway, I hope to contribute to Wikipedia when I can, and I look forward to working with you in the future! Guoguo12 (Talk)  18:58, 3 October 2012 (UTC)Reply

Well, I really don't know if I'll be here to work with. As time goes on, I find myself even thinking about WP less and less. I'm pretty sure I'm done, unless I find myself with the bug in a few years. For now, other things are just more important. Well, anyway...again, it's great to see you back. I hope RL treats you well, and that you can finish what you started here. Nolelover ^{Talk·Contribs} 06:32, 12 October 2012 (UTC)Reply

The WikiSalon is a special meetup usually held during the first and third full weeks of every month, from 7 PM to 9 PM. It's an informal gathering of Wikimedia enthusiasts, who come together to discuss Wikimedia wikis and collaboratively edit. There's no set agenda, and guests are welcome to recommend articles for the group to edit or edit on their own.

If you're coming by Metro, the closest station is Dupont Circle (on the Red Line). If you're driving, a lot of parking opens up downtown after 6:30 PM, so finding a parking space (even a free one) should be easy. Once you've found the building, go to Cove on the second floor. We will be in the conference room.

When: Wednesday, September 17, 2014 at 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM

Where: The Cove, Dupont Circle, 1730 Connecticut Avenue NW, 2nd floor, 20009, DC

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Hello! There is currently a request for approval of a bot to manage the AutoWikiBrowser CheckPage by removing inactive users, among other tasks. You are being contacted because you may qualify as an inactive user of AWB. First, if you have any input on the proposed bot task, please feel free to comment at the BRFA. Should the bot task be approved, your access to AWB may be uncontroversially removed if you do not resume editing within a week's time.
