Human Rights in Hong Kong
Thank you for assessing Human Rights in Hong Kong. I will add the citations asap. Apart from that, do you have any other suggestion to improve it to GA status? Craddocktm (talk) 18:04, 26 February 2010 (UTC)
- Aside from the citation issue, the other problem I noticed is the lead section (WP:LEAD). Given the size of the article, I would recommend increasing it to 3-4 solid paragraphs that provide a good overview of the article. This is one of the thing they will definitely look at in a GA review. Other than that, double check the points listed inWP:GA? then the article should be ready for a GAR.

HKSAR passport article
Hi Tavatar, many thanks for the time which you have taken to assess this article - I have responded to the comments you have left on the article's discussion page. Kind regards, Bonus bon (talk) 12:41, 9 April 2010 (UTC)
Eugene Pao declined speedy deletion
as the article asserts significance, a lower standard than notability. Actually, asserts notability with "international." Dlohcierekim 01:23, 23 April 2010 (UTC)
- chiming in here, Pao is not generally well known, but in the fairly small circle which is Hong Kong, he's certainly at the top of the tree as a jazz musician. Ohconfucius ¡digame! 08:04, 10 June 2010 (UTC)
BLP refimprove tag options
Hi, i noticed your edit to the Yuen Wah article which removed a "BLP unreferenced" tag. I agree that the tag was not appropriate, as in fact there was a reference in the article. However, I want to call your attention to other tag options: {{BLP refimprove}} which would call for improvements of referencing, {{BLP IMDB refimprove}} which does that and notes IMDB, a source which many regard as not very reliable, is one of the sources; {{BLP IMDB-only refimprove}} which notes IMDB is the only source in a given article. In this case the BLP IMDB refimprove tag seems most appropriate, and i just added it. I think that is good to keep up some pressure / call attention to the need for additional referencing in that article. Also relevant in articles like this might be {{nofootnotes}} and {{morefootnotes}}. Keep up the good work! Cheers, --doncram (talk) 15:34, 8 May 2010 (UTC)
Goddess of Democracy (Hong Kong)
Thanks for reviewing the article. I would just like to say that I disagree that it is 'low importance', but then I'm hardly objective because I wrote the whole article. ;-) Cheers, Ohconfucius ¡digame! 08:01, 10 June 2010 (UTC)
- It was hard to determine where to rate the importance for this article at this point, since this is a somewhat specialized topic. Based on our assessment definition, I would think it's somewhere between Low and Mid right now. I don't think there are enough attention locally and internationally associated with this topic yet. Perhaps future developments and events could improve its current status, such as becoming a permanent landmark or spark further controversy. On a side note, if you ever feel an article has been mis-assessed, or in need of reassessment, you could always request a new assessment at WP:HK/A or bring up the topic in WT:HK. :) Tvtr (tlk–cntrbtn) 16:27, 10 June 2010 (UTC)
You are now a Reviewer
Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.
Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.
When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.
If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 18:13, 18 June 2010 (UTC)
Wow!
Tavatar, I see that you've been doing a lot with PlayStation articles, I've seen you do a lot today! I just wanted to say that is awesome! (Oh yeah, although you probably have no idea who I am, I'm just complimenting you) Thanks. -Endofskull (talk) 20:44, 31 July 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks, I'm just helping out with re-link PlayStation games since we moved the links recently. Tvtr (tlk–cntrbtn) 20:49, 31 July 2010 (UTC)
Thought you were helping! Well, anyways, thanks a whole bunch! -Endofskull (talk) 23:15, 31 July 2010 (UTC)
Citation barn star!
Hi there. Noticed you did some good stuff tidying up refs at Hong Kong. I've put a barn star on your "awards" page. Thanks for your work. --bodnotbod (talk) 22:59, 6 September 2010 (UTC)
Hong Kong
I'm swamped at the moment, but if you've added Hong Kong to the PR list, it is sure to be reviewed. I will watch to see if it shows up in the backlog and comment then if I can. Finetooth (talk) 01:58, 20 September 2010 (UTC)

November copy edit drive
Greetings from the Guild of Copy Editors Backlog Elimination Drive!
 The Wikipedia Guild of Copy-Editors invites you to participate in the November 2010 Backlog Elimination Drive, a month-long effort to reduce the backlog of articles that require copy-editing. The drive will begin on 1 November at 00:00 (UTC) and will end on 30 November at 23:59 (UTC). The goal for this drive is to reduce the backlog by 10% (approximately 500 articles). We hope to focus our efforts on the oldest three months (January, February, and March 2009) and the newest three months (September, October, and November 2010) of articles in the queue. Sign-up has already begun at the November drive page, and will be open throughout the drive. If you have any questions or concerns, please leave a message on the drive's talk page. Before you begin copy-editing, please carefully read the instructions on the main drive page. Please make sure that you know how to copy-edit, and be familiar with the Wikipedia Manual of Style. Awards and barnstars A range of barnstars will be awarded to active participants, some of which are exclusive to GOCE drives. More information on awards can be found on the main drive page. Thank you; we look forward to meeting you on the drive! |

Greetings from the Guild of Copy Editors Backlog Elimination Drive!
We have reached the midway point in our backlog elimination drive, so here is an update. Participation report — The November drive has 53 participants at this point. We had 77 participants in the September drive. In July, 95 people signed up for the drive, and in May we had 36. If you are not participating, it is not too late to join! Progress report — The drive is quite successful so far, as we have already almost reached our target of a 10% reduction in the number of articles in the backlog. We are doing very well at keeping our Requests page clear, as those articles count double for word count for this drive. Please keep in mind the possibility of removing other tags when you are finished with an article. If the article no longer needs {{cleanup}}, {{wikify}}, or other similar maintenance tags, please remove them, as this will make the tasks of other WikiProjects easier to complete. Thanks very much for participating in the Drive, and see you at the finish line!

| Greetings from the Guild of Copy Editors Backlog Elimination Drive!
We have reached the end of our fourth backlog elimination drive. Thanks to all who participated. Stats
Barnstars If you copy edited at least 4,000 words, you qualify for a barnstar. If you participated in the September 2010 backlog elimination drive, you may have earned roll-over words (more details can be found here). These roll-over words count as credit towards earning barnstars, except for leaderboard awards. We will be delivering these barnstars within the next couple of weeks. Our next drive is scheduled for January 2011. In the meantime, please consider helping out at the Wikification drive or any of the other places where help with backlogs is needed. Thank you for participating in the last 2010 backlog elimination drive! We look forward to seeing you in January!
