Not sure what to do with Angolan musicians which has been tagged for cleanup for 6 years now. Should it be renamed to List of Angolan musicians? Should it be prodded or sent AFD since the category:Angolan musicians does the job better and the article is primarily redlinks and is unreferenced? Do you have any suggestions?

Gina Bellman has requested that certain erroneous information about her personal life be corrected. Please see her Twitter timeline https://twitter.com/Ginabellman --Zaabsethna (talk) 21:15, 16 September 2013 (UTC)

In that case she or her representative(s), per WP:COI, should have left a message on the article's talk/discussion page rather than just remove/edit material without explanation.--ukexpat (talk) 13:49, 17 September 2013 (UTC)

You have listed yourself as a peer review volunteer interested in copyediting articles. Would you like to support the quest to counter systemic bias on Wikipedia? Would you like to read an interesting article about something different? If so, you are invited to give a thorough review of the article Xiaxue, which is about a Singaporean celebrity blogger. The article is very short and should not take long to review. Hope you enjoy reviewing it as much as I enjoyed writing it. Thanks! 谢谢！Terima kasih! நன்றி! --J.L.W.S. The Special One (talk) 11:52, 17 September 2013 (UTC)

Also, the standard for company names is instant block (asap, as in ARV them to WP:UAA or ping an admin otherwise) if they've been editing about themselves (or other COI), in fact, even if they aren't, as groupnames. Thanks :) ~Charmlet ^-talk- 21:04, 17 September 2013 (UTC)

But uh... Yeah, D67 forgot to leave a block message - so there's a reason for the warning I guess. Although I'm sure nobody would've yelled at you for putting a {{Uw-softerblock}} or {{Uw-spamublock}} on it :) ~Charmlet ^-talk- 21:07, 17 September 2013 (UTC)

As I understand it, it's only an instablock if the user has edited in mainspace - edits to AFCs don't count apparently, at least that's what I have been told by some admins at UAA. --ukexpat (talk) 21:52, 17 September 2013 (UTC)

Hmm, groupnames are instablocks regardless, individuals promoting things not so much maybe. ~Charmlet ^-talk- 22:01, 17 September 2013 (UTC)

There is a backlog of over 2800 articles, so start reviewing articles! Visit the drive's page and help out!

A new version of our AfC helper script is released! It includes many bug fixes, new improvements and features, code enhancements, and more. If you want to see a full list of changes, visit the changelog. Please report bugs and feature requests there, too! Thanks. --Mdann52talk to me!

This newsletter was delivered on behalf of WPAFC by EdwardsBot (talk) 15:06, 30 September 2013 (UTC)

Thank you, UKexpat, for your message. I don't imagine that I will be embarking upon extensive overhauls of any Wikipedia pages in the near future--let alone creation of them--but I did bookmark for future reference the page of guidelines that you sent me. After having been a devoted Wikipedia reader for many years, and having grown weary of the liberally sprinkled spelling errors in German, French, and English, I finally overcame my inertia, signed up to edit, and began fixing a few things here and there. Thank you for your encouragement!

I had an excellent little nap! Drmies (talk) 20:27, 4 October 2013 (UTC)

Excellent, so did I then I decided to ride my bike...--ukexpat (talk) 00:19, 5 October 2013 (UTC)

Hmm. I knew there was a pattern; I didn't know it was that bad. It's true, this semester I have a lot of nap opportunities, but too often I close the netbook too late to make them count. Today wasn't bad though! But I'm a bit past the midway point of life, so I can claim to deserve them. Claim falsely, but still claim. And I'd love to be somewhere where I could take a nice ride...

Actuellement divers livres et articles parlent de Benjamin Leigh-Smith. Je suis choquée et très surprise de constater que tous omettent de signaler qu'ils ont puisé dans le site : www.leigh-smith. org tant pour les infos que pour les illustrations. Ce site a été créé par Christopher leigh-smith et moi-même Marie-France Le Fel lefel@bluewin.ch. Christopher Leigh-Smith est le seul descendant direct de l'explorateur. Les auteurs se referent tous à une très lointaine parente que nous sommes surpris de voir ainsi surgir dans l'histoire de Benjamin Leigh-Smith.85.5.86.107 (talk) 08:02, 14 October 2013 (UTC) lefel@bluewin.ch

Hi. Can you offer your opinion on which photo would be better for the Rebecca Housel Infobox in this discussion? If you are unable to, I understand; you don't have to reply to this message. Thanks. Nightscream (talk) 03:36, 17 October 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for picking up that mistake, the name of the file should have been a clue really. Not to mention the sign in the image. The list entry number was the same, so I didn't check but it looks like the person who uploaded the file initially clicked on the wrong link so they ended up with the wrong number. I've corrected the number on Commons so it's sorted now. Nev1 (talk) 15:54, 21 October 2013 (UTC)

Hi, there is a process called neural plasticity. On WP it redirects to neuroplasticity, but neural plasticity is actually the more common term. As "Neural plasticity" (the process) and "Neural Plasticity" only differ by a capital, it would seem to me that a disambiguator is necessary here. I would appreciate if you could revert your move. Thanks. --Randykitty (talk) 17:59, 22 October 2013 (UTC)

I disagree but don't have the energy to argue about it so I moved it back.--ukexpat (talk) 18:04, 22 October 2013 (UTC)

• Thanks. --Randykitty (talk) 18:09, 22 October 2013 (UTC)

Hi, These photos were taken by Edward Wolkey who is my long time fellow. I've asked Edward to use the photos and he permit me in any circumstances I can use photos. Yesterday I asked him to send an email to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org he will probably today.

WP:Navbox reads 'Navigation templates do not provide external links to other websites.' It also says 'External links should be included in appropriate articles, rather than a navigation template. So the links to Dupont's website and to the company's stock don't belong....William 15:57, 29 October 2013 (UTC)

In that case there are a bunch more in Category:United States company templates that need your "attention".--ukexpat (talk) 16:04, 29 October 2013 (UTC)

Yes and I am working on them- Gray TV, Darden, Abercrombie & Fitch, Kraft Foods Group, 3M, NY Times, plus more. Note my edit summary when I do this- Per WP:Nav. No EL in templates. I've been removing outdated financial info too if I find any. Dupont's was from 2009....William 16:37, 29 October 2013 (UTC)
