The message I received indicated that the article included copyrighted information. I'd appreciate knowing to what that refers. I assume it refers to the illustration I have used. I retrieved that from Wikimedia Commons which indicates the image is in the public domain. If this is the case, I can remove the image. If it is something else, please let me know so I can amend the entry. Cheers. 9603: 8075: 8744: 2436: 9183: 4161:.

didn't sign their answers this time for the stub-sorting project (I added their name, and also bullets for clarity, before adding my answers). It's not immediately obvious, to someone coming to it for the first time, how the questionnaire page works (I think I assumed last time round that each editor had their own copy of it somehow). Thanks.

Hi Mabeenot. When I requested a link in the Projects Report for the GOCE September drive, I made a really stupid blunder and gave you a link to last year's September drive page. I've made a quick fix by redirecting the September 2011 drive page to the September 2012 page, but is it feasible to change

I've invited several contributors from CVU to participate in the interview, which is why the questions are geared toward the many facets of the project.

moin Mabeenot, indeed i liked your international efforts very much and would be glade to help out with some contacts - for example via the translation committee teams on meta. however, i do recommend to pick up my point on email correspondence, because i do (so to speak) home-in on en.wp only once a

much for postponing the due date, Mabeenot. I was interested in answering those questions, but since I'm new to the Knowledge and have not contributed to any of the project's good articles I hoped that more experienced users could answer them.

I originally scheduled WP Korea for June 18, but it was postponed when nobody responded for about a week.

I'd be very interested. I'll try to see what I can do. I am unsure if this is what you are looking for though as the questions on the signpost page are a bit too generic for me to answer to the questions you poised here. Could you perhaps come up with questions specifically for me like the ones you

Your motivation for starting the project can be your answer to the first question, since you didn't really have to join the project like everyone else. I've added an open-ended question at the end where you can share other thoughts. Unfortunately, we have other projects scheduled for the following

Hello mabeenot, I also have been working on this article in response to the same request. I think I have got further than you, but of course I do not know. Could you please let me know where we stand, because I don't want a lot of edit conflicts and double work, and I should guess that you do not

Thanks for the offer, but I'm going to decline -- I'm not really involved in the science fiction Wikiproject at all, though I do write a lot of articles on sf magazines. I don't think it's a very active project, in fact; there's no coordination nor much activity of any kind, so it might not be a

Hi, I wonder if it would be helpful if you reminded interviewees that they should sign each individual answer, so that other editors' answers can go below each and be clearly identified. I think I got it wrong when I first replied to the disambiguation project interview a while back, and Grutness

Hello, Mabeenot! I'm honoured to have been selected for such a prestigious interview. I will answer it, but I must remind you that I've been working mainly in the Spanish-language articles on motorsport. If that's a problem, then I'm sure other WikiProject members will gladly respond. Thank you!

8456:

Thanks for the great report! The implications are mind-blowing. Having being associated with WikiProject India, I would say you are spot on about India. However, there are areas of activity beating the trend such as the recent collaboration and grading of over one lakh unassessed articles in

Thanks for the invite, but I haven't been very active as of late, so surely there's someone better than me. I also did an interview back during the 2010 Winter Olympics. However, if you can't find anyone else and really need an interview, I suppose I could do it. --

I was just typing you a reply. Some projects don't really lend themselves to having a gallery of pictures, so I'm not too concerned about including images for this article. The images you've chosen to the right will be fine, so feel free to add them if you like.
