200!!

  The 200 DYK Nomination Medal
Hi Rcej (Robert C. Edwards, Jr.) - you have managed to break the 200 barrier - not by writing articles but by nominating other people's articles. Brilliant, seems to me that you will encourage others to help us with Wikipedia - which is so valuable - particularly the medical project. So thanks again from me and the wiki.

Care to review a newly expanded Glee article for GA? :) Regards — Robin (talk) 20:47, 4 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

  • I wish I could!! Loved Holly....love Gwenyth! But I'm in my hellacious Summer semester, and too swamped for a mosquito! I took WWII as an elective...lmao! I must've lost my mind. So, I must decline. Seriously, though, I will do 2 reviews for you when I'm free in August. How about that? ;) Rcej (Robert)talk 03:18, 6 June 2013 (UTC)Reply
Well, thanks for taking the time to respond. Best of luck with the semester and 2 reviews sound great, so I'll see you in August. Kind regards — Robin (talk) 14:19, 6 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

WikiProject Good Articles Recruitment Centre

edit
 
Hello! Now, some of you might have already received a similar message a little while ago regarding the Recruitment Centre, so if you have, there is no need to read the rest of this. This message is directed to users who have reviewed over 15 Good article nominations and are not part of WikiProject Good articles (the first message I sent out went to only WikiProject members).

So for those who haven't heard about the Recruitment Centre yet, you may be wondering why there is a Good article icon with a bunch of stars around it (to the right). The answer? WikiProject Good articles will be launching a Recruitment Centre very soon! The centre will allow all users to be taught how to review Good article nominations by experts just like you! However, in order for the Recruitment Centre to open in the first place, we need some volunteers:

  • Recruiters: The main task of a recruiter is to teach users that have never reviewed a Good article nomination how to review one. To become a recruiter, all you have to do is meet this criteria. If we don't get at least 5-10 recruiters to start off with (at the time this message was sent out, 2 recruiters have volunteered), the Recruitment Centre will not open. If interested, make sure you meet the criteria, read the process and add your name to the list of recruiters. (One of the great things about being a recruiter is that there is no set requirement of what must be taught and when. Instead, all the content found in the process section is a guideline of the main points that should be addressed during a recruitment session...you can also take an entire different approach if you wish!) If you think you will not have the time to recruit any users at this time but are still interested in becoming a recruiter, you can still add your name to the list of recruiters but just fill in the "Status" parameter with "Not Available".
  • Co-Director: The current Director for the centre is me (Dom497). Another user that would be willing to help with some of the tasks would be helpful. Tasks include making sure recruiters are doing what they should be (teaching!), making sure all recruitments are archived correctly, updating pages as needed, answering any questions, and distributing the feedback form. If interested, please contact me (Dom497).
  • Nominators, please read this: If you are not interested in becoming a recruiter, you can still help. In some cases a nominator may have an issue with an "inexperienced" editor (the recruitee) reviewing one of their nominations. To minimize the chances of this happening, if you are fine with a recruitee reviewing one of your nominations under the supervision of the recruiter, please add your name to the list at the bottom of this page. By adding your name to this list, chances are that your nomination will be reviewed more quickly as the recruitee will be asked to choose a nomination from the list of nominators that are OK with them reviewing the article.

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me. I look forward to seeing this program bring new reviewers to the Good article community and all the positive things it will bring along.

A message will be sent out to all recruiters regarding the date when the Recruitment Centre will open when it is determined. The message will also contain some further details to clarify things that may be a bit confusing.--Dom497 (talk)

The Wikipedia Library now offering accounts from Cochrane Collaboration (sign up!)

edit

The Wikipedia Library gets Wikipedia editors free access to reliable sources that are behind paywalls. Because you are signed on as a medical editor, I thought you'd want to know about our most recent donation from Cochrane Collaboration.

  • Cochrane Collaboration is an independent medical nonprofit organization that conducts systematic reviews of randomized controlled trials of health-care interventions, which it then publishes in the Cochrane Library.
  • Cochrane has generously agreed to give free, full-access accounts to 100 medical editors. Individual access would otherwise cost between $300 and $800 per account.
  • If you are still active as a medical editor, come and sign up :)

WP:FOUR RFC

edit

There are two WP:RFCs at WP:FOUR. The first is to conflate issues so as to keep people from expressing meaningful opinions. The second, by me, is claimed to be less than neutral by proponents of the first. Please look at the second one, which I think is much better.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 07:20, 20 August 2013 (UTC)Reply

  • Robert, issues remain with this nomination, so I hope you'll be able to address them soon. Also, I'm hoping you'll start supplying QPQ reviews along with your DYK nominations for Foxxraven's articles, or get Foxxraven to take on the task. While it isn't required by the letter of the law, once you get past the first half dozen or so nominations for a new author, it's a bit discouraging to see this loophole work when the author knows about DYK and could do his or her own nominating, and eventual reviewing, and DYK has so very many unreviewed articles.
