[edit] Changes to the Banknotes of the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe: Notes for readers

Hello again, I am currently doing major revisions to the Banknotes of the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe article to include colour and hopefully images of banknotes themselves. Thanks for your paitience during the revamp. --Marianian (talk) 11:31, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Silchester Estate

I put a PROD on this article, on the grounds that this estate is not notable, i.e.of enough general interest to have an encyclopedia article about it, at about the same moment that you added an {{underconstruction}} tag. In view of that, I have removed the tag and will wait to see how the article develops; but I have serious doubts whether a housing estate of four tower blocks it can meet the requirements of notability. Have a look at WP:N and WP:NPT - you'll see that even "A neighborhood or sub-section of a city/town/village" doesn't qualify unless it has "exceptional notability of its own". Regards, JohnCD (talk) 18:16, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

I should press on with the deletion until I get more verifiable information about it. It appears a lot of background or events surrounding this estate has been either lost or stored in the archives. The version under development will be in my sandbox. --Marianian (talk) 16:37, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

I think you're right; but there's no need to go through the PROD procedure - you, as the author, can get the article deleted more quickly by blanking it and putting {{db-author}} at the top - that asks for a speedy deletion "author requests deletion".

[edit] Thoughts Requested: (Wikipedia humour) new article on a fictional country of Athens

I am considering creating a new Humour article, which contains an alternative history of Athens, as if it was a country. Any thoughts? --Marianian (talk) 17:23, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Mistake

It was. I think I already reported the user.Xp54321 (Vandals Beware!!!,Contribs) 16:15, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

Okay, thank you for the clarification. --Marianian (talk) 16:16, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Statustop template: alternate updating method

SoxBot V has been taken offline indefinitely, therefore {{Statustop}} now uses a semi-manual updating method taking the status from Special:Mypage/Status. You can use the Qui monobook script written by TheDJ to update this page at the click of a button.

Certain parameters are no longer used, so you may wish to check the documentation of the Statustop template to ensure you are using it properly. Please feel free to drop by my talk page with any questions or concerns or to report problems with the template. Happy editing, xenocidic ( talk ¿ listen ) 14:00, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
