I know you added a lot of material to Bravo Johnson, and I wanted to let you know I had to trim the article's content to make it more encyclopedic. One important thing to remember is that it is a violation of Wikipedia's copyright policy to copy content from other sites into articles. Also, articles have to be written from a neutral point of view so they don't sound too promotional. The good news is it looks like we don't have to worry about the article getting deleted anymore.

Thanks for your contributions! --Megaboz (talk) 03:18, 8 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

And thank you! I was asked to create the page by the band, so my stuff there was kind of what they wanted. No copyright violations were intended, and I had the right to use everything. Thank you for your edit to bring it in line. MiscastDice (talk) 03:28, 8 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Asian 10,000 Challenge invite

[edit]

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like South East Asia, Japan/China or India etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Asian content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 200 articles in just three days. If you would like to see this happening for Asia, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Asia, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant! Thank you. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 05:24, 20 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
