Notes edit

280. Only 1-2 left from December 2008 other than PRODS, AfDs, and copyvios, so next up is October 2008, starting with 280 unreferenced BLPs. Can we eliminate all unreferenced BLPs tagged in 2008 by the end of 2010? That is the challenge!--Milowent • ^talkblp-r 20:30, 12 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The way this team has been kicking ass the past few weeks, there is no doubt TiMike (talk) 20:48, 12 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"Hey! Ho! Let's go!" "Hey! Ho! Let's go!" --j⚛e decker ^talk 20:52, 12 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

265 - J is done. TiMike (talk) 03:52, 13 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
247 - "H" is done (apart from one High School coach which I've PRODded, and Kurdistani writer Rauf Hassan which I can't source).--Plad2 (talk) 18:48, 13 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
241 - F is done. TiMike (talk) 20:04, 13 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
212 - Nice to see such degrees of progress! --j⚛e decker ^talk 03:15, 15 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
190 - Ls are done (the remaining article is at AfD) --Jezebel'sPonyo ^{bons mots} 17:41, 15 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
179 - Knocking out some more, randomly. TiMike (talk) 03:58, 16 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
173 - A few randomly.... --j⚛e decker ^talk 07:17, 16 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
161 - Just did Jerome Toobin who has been dead for 26 years.--Milowent • ^talkblp-r 16:57, 16 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

He's a BDP.. heh TiMike (talk) 19:38, 16 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

140 - we are halfway there! by the way, this month feels like it is filled with folks who are less notable on the whole than prior months.--Milowent • ^talkblp-r 16:20, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Oh good, it wasn't just me feeling that way. :) --j⚛e decker ^talk 16:28, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
124 - yeah, Joe, it makes you appreciate new page patrol people a bit more.--Milowent • ^talkblp-r 22:21, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
119 - More randomness. TiMike (talk) 03:00, 18 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
115 - And yeah, Milowent, it sure does. Always been impressed by the NPP folks and how quickly a lot of problems get dealt with. --j⚛e decker ^talk 07:26, 18 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
94 - Z cleared (again), but Obrad Zelić now has a conflicting AfD / PROD status Hallucegenia (talk) 10:14, 19 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
91 - I de-prodded Obrad Zelić since it now lists a source, the prior AfD didn't come up when I prodded since the article was listed under an unaccented spelling.--Milowent • ^talkblp-r 13:46, 19 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
84 - D is done.--Milowent • ^talkblp-r 14:36, 19 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
73 - G is done save for a pre-existing (was it a PROD? think so). --j⚛e decker ^talk 19:52, 19 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
71 - Soon, we will have to take on these Thai footballers.. lol TiMike (talk) 21:48, 19 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
69 - I've been trying Mike, but its crazy! I have prodded some already, because when they have left the Thai Premier league and moved to some lower league, its very difficult to find anything.--Milowent • ^talkblp-r 22:46, 19 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Pssst! December is now empty! --j⚛e decker ^talk 23:50, 19 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
52 - And a few sent deletionward.... --j⚛e decker ^talk 06:51, 20 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
48 - Haven't been around much and am impressed how far the number has dropped! "S" is down to Thai fottballers and a few articles in one or other deletion process.--Plad2 (talk) 10:01, 20 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Just done a count and I think we are down to 19 to go (excluding Thai footballers and articles already in a deletion or copyvio process)--Plad2 (talk) 10:10, 20 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

47 - plus one more prod, so probably about 18 to go.--Milowent • ^talkblp-r 12:29, 20 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
43 - M down, but I'm afraid I count 21 left excluding PRODs, AfDs and copyvios. --j⚛e decker ^talk 16:12, 20 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
36 - some of y'all of busy working the dregs. i just prodded the last T.--Milowent • ^talkblp-r 18:32, 20 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
28 - and I think we're done with Oct 2008 apart from the remaining Thai footballers and articles tagged for deletion.--Plad2 (talk) 19:36, 20 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

So what's the next step? When do we officially call this month 'done' on move onto the next. TiMike (talk) 20:44, 20 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

When it's all PRODs, AfDs and copyvios. Thai Footballers don't get special dispensation. ;-) --j⚛e decker ^talk 20:58, 20 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

23 S is done, two footballers sourced, one PROD'd. How many footballers left? --j⚛e decker ^talk 21:00, 20 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Joe, you're a hero! I can't deal with any more Thai footballers today...--Plad2 (talk) 21:06, 20 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, and no worries, it was awesome getting to take out the last few! Onward!!!!

21 - P is done. Two articles left, one footballer, one lyricist. --j⚛e decker ^talk 22:47, 20 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
21 - And with 2 more PRODs, we're done! Onward!!!!!! --j⚛e decker ^talk 22:57, 20 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Nice job! Will archive Project #7!--Milowent • ^talkblp-r 12:06, 21 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
