Prem Rawat
Just to let you know there is a Rawat-related thread at RS/N. Please let the project have a statement whether you still have the time and inclination to help out. --JN466 18:31, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
Twinkle
Hi Steve, thought you might know a little more about this than me. I was of the impression the twinkle was only to be used for reverting unambiguous vandalism. In the last few days I have come across two edits recently that have troubled me. this edit which undid a redirect of a self-bio to the editors userpage & this one which labelled my edits as POV (after a flurry on the talk page 2 other editors backed my edits). Appreciate your thoughts. Thanks GainLine ♠ ♥ 16:17, 19 November 2009 (UTC)
- Sorry for the late reply. Twinkle is generally only for vandalism. There are a few rare exceptions, but these two edits don't fall under acceptable use of Twinkle. If someone disagrees with your edits, they should discuss them, not revert them. Hope that helps. Steven Zhang The clock is ticking.... 20:22, 21 November 2009 (UTC)

adoptee needs help
Hello, As my mentor/adopter/guide here I am officially asking for some help. I am in the midst of revising A Perfect Day for Bananafish. I have verfiable sources, along with some personal investment in this author's works. One, an external link is to a site that has pirated works of J.D. Salinger. This should be removed. Also, there is another editor who is reverting my edits for no other reason but what seems to be maliciousness. It is hard to have faith in this site when someone like me tries to add and improve an article only to have it erased with no rationale. I am still learning the ropes here, and have to say the last think I think WP needs is more hostility. Please help by either locking this page, making a comment on the article if/when you get a chance to read the page and edits and comment. A thousand thanks.

Hello to my adopter down under, Your adoptee seeks your opinion on his current editing stickiness. If and when you get a chance, come on down. Jim Steele (talk) 18:16, 1 December 2009 (UTC)
- Sorry about the delay, I'll take a look over and add my 2c today. Best, Steven Zhang The clock is ticking.... 01:22, 2 December 2009 (UTC)
2010 WikiCup Signups Reconfirmation!
To ensure that everyone who signed up is still committed to participating in the 2010 WikiCup, it is required that you remove your name from this list! By removing your name, you are not removing yourself from the WikiCup. This is simply a way for the judges to take note of who has not yet reconfirmed their participation. If you have not removed your name from that list by December 30th, 2009 (by 23:59 (UTC)) then your name will be removed from the WikiCup.
It's worth noting the rules have changed, likely after you signed up. The changes made thus far are:
- Mainspace and/or portal edits will not be awarded points at all.
- Did you know? articles (which were worth 5 points last year) will now be worth 10 points.
- Good articles (which were worth 30 points last year) will now be worth 40 points.
- Valued pictures will be now awarded points, however the amount (5 or 10 points) is still being discussed.
- Featured lists (which were worth 30 points last year) will now be worth 40 points.
- Featured portals (which were worth 25 points last year) will now be worth 35 points.
- Featured articles (which were worth 50 points last year) will now be worth 100 points.
- Featured topics (which were worth 10 points per article last year) will now be worth 15 points per any article in the topic that you were a major contributor to.
- Good topics (which were worth 5 points per article last year) will now be worth 10 points per any article in the topic that you were a major contributor to.
- In the news will still be awarded points, however the amount (5 or 10 points) is still being discussed.
If you have any final concerns about the WikiCup's rules and regulations, please ask them now, before the Cup begins to avoid last minute problems. You may come to the WikiCup's talk page, or any of the judge's user talk pages. We're looking forwards to a great 2010 WikiCup! On behalf of the WikiCup judges, iMatthew talk at 03:47, 5 December 2009 (UTC)
Permissions and Policies
I completed the Permissions assignment here and I am posting the Policies summary here on your talk page as requested.
- Policies Assignment
- Wikipedia encourages editors to contribute to wiki as much as one wishes to. If one sees an article they find interesting or have an area of existing knowledge about said topic, we encourage the editor to contribute to the article as seen fit. However, the edits must not be vandalism and must have good sourcing, because without proper verification the information inserted may not be proven.
- Wikipedia doesn't go by book format such as (this was written by Steve) or (By: Steve). Here we sign our names with four tildes on talk pages- article, project, user etc.- so other's know who we are and where we can be reached. We also want to know editor's reasoning behind edits, hence edit summaries explaining one's reasoning for edits.
- Use logic and think about others. Be civil to other users and assume good faith. Remember the 'golden rule' when angry and ask yourself if you would do/ say what you wish to another editor in real life. if the answer is no, it's probably a bad idea.

I'll look into this tomorrow, when I have some free time (finally). :) From the looks of things everything seems to be in order but I wanna go over the assignment with a fine tooth comb first. Steven Zhang The clock is ticking.... 09:21, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
