Outflow boundary GA limbo
I seem to have gotten myself into a pickle, for all the right reasons. Someone who made one edit to the outflow boundary article submitted the article for GAN in June. I started a review of the article, mentioning that I could not possibly be the reviewer of the article since I did most of the edits. Then, the person who submitted it for GAN didn't do the requested work, so I compounded the problem by improving its look, content, etcetera. Now the GA template on the page implies I'm the primary reviewer, and I think it's keeping potential reviewers at bay. What can be done here? It's been listed at GA for 9 weeks now, which even for me, is an extraordinarily long time. Thegreatdr (talk) 00:35, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

User:Stilltim
Hey,
I was just looking for your opinion on your granting of Autoreviewer access to Stilltim even though he has a long history of creating POV forks. This issue went to an RFC and he seems to have been getting better, but I was still curious as to how you felt about that. Thanks!--Gordonrox24 | Talk 02:18, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
- Hmm, I was honestly unaware that any such issues existed. I saw that the user had created hundreds of seemingly valid articles, but please do link me to the RfC and other relevant discussion. Thank you for bringing this to my attention. –Juliancolton | Talk 02:27, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
- here is the RFC. If you look at his talk page he has not archived it and you can see all of the AFD discussions that resulted from his creations. I am not sure how much relevance this has on his recent work though. Thanks--Gordonrox24 | Talk 02:58, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks Julian. I do think it will benefit the project having WP:NP keep his pages monitored. He does seem to be doing great work now though.--Gordonrox24 | Talk 17:45, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

Sockpuppetry
I draw your attention to events at Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2009 August 30#Melissa Palmer, M.D.. Diffs demonstrating the identity of Efactor1975 and Voros1975 are not hard to find from the contributions histories, note. Uncle G (talk) 23:28, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

Please help me with the alt text! I dont know what this guy wants!! 63.215.29.212 (talk) 00:22, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
Please save my nether region
Hi, about a year ago you did an Afd for me since I did not know how. I have just tried doing one all on my own (speedy aren't I?).
The page was "List of Riots" and while I thought I followed the direction on the Wiki help exactly (even used written notes) something didn't come out right.
The AfD tag never appeared on the page top and while I ended up creating the AfD discussion page, and it show on the page history, somehow the AfD has not shown in the log of AfD on the official page.
Would greatly appreciate if you could fix this or (I'm willing to do the work) tell me how I failed when I thought I was so careful.
Thank you,

Done I'm not Julian (obviously), but I've cleaned up that nom for you. You can use Twinkle to do your AfD noms; much easier :) Tim Song (talk) 01:34, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
Thank you to both Julian and Tim.Aaaronsmith (talk) 01:50, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
Fireworks
I saw your msg on wade's page and thought of leaving my two cents.
- For many fireworks in a singe picture, use a wide angle lens, around 17mm would be good.
- Use long exposures. Usually around 1s-onwards
- Use a tripod or beanbag for stability.
- Just take shots before the fireworks start to capture the whole motion

- Thanks, I'll keep those suggestions in mind! :) –Juliancolton | Talk 03:12, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
My new page not appearing on Wiki search
Hi Julian
I created the page Outlet Property Services over a week ago and it's still not showing when I do a search. It's still in my contributions and each time I have done an edit, I saved the page.
Is there a problem or am I not doing something right?
I look forward to your reply.

- Seems you created the page in your userspace (User:Markgraindorge/Outlet Property Services). Only pages in the mainspace show up in default search results, which is why you haven't been able to find it. Once you're done with that article you can use the 'move page' function to move it to the article space. –Juliancolton | Talk 14:12, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
Stilltim autoreviewer
I have concerns about your granting of autoreviewer to User:Stilltim. He has been the subject of an RFC/U about creating numerous excessive articles contrary to consensus in the past. Even his recent Deleware articles are massive copy/paste jobs that mostly duplicate each other. That he's filling up the new pages once again is an alarm sounding, we shouldn't just cancel the alarm without investigating whether there is a problem. Gigs (talk) 15:39, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
- I've removed the right for now, since a few others have raised similar concerns. I apologize for any inconvenience I've caused; I was honestly unaware of the controversy surrounding this user's articles when I enabled autoreviewer on their account. –Juliancolton | Talk 15:45, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

Severe weather
Severe weather is currently in need of a copyedit, and I saw your name on the GOCE list. Would you be interested in doing it, with your specialty being in meteorology? Ks0stm If you reply here, please leave me a {{Talkback}} message on my talk page. 23:21, 4 September 2009 (UTC)
- I'll try to get to it, but I've been rather busy as of late. –Juliancolton | Talk 01:29, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

Yo Julian, the coding for some of your closures at AfD today seems a little off (hanging |}). Regards, Skomorokh 12:03, 5 September 2009 (UTC)
- Hmm, looks like this broke it... –Juliancolton | Talk 13:30, 5 September 2009 (UTC)
