The reaction that EVula got /is/ disappointing. But so is EVula's reaction to the reaction. Is it any surprise that someone who proclaims Commons to be "a fucking joke" and a "cesspool" isn't going to get congratulated for an out-of-process deletion? This is the biggest problem I have. When

Yeah this list seems to have turned into the "porn on Commons" list again. Perhaps someone can create a commons task force or something. I'd rather not wake up every single morning to "naked women on Commons" subjects. I'd either fork it someplace else, take it to wiki, or.. I'm all about the co

Good luck with the AfC backlog Sarah - it depresses me to just think about that. Here in Haarlem we are celebrating the 100 year anniversary of the Frans Hals Museum. There are copies of Frans Hals paintings placed strategically around town to show what the museum has to offer. One of the men who

I tend to avoid AfC, and #wikipedia-en-help because the people who tend to it also tend to really violate WP:OWN in a good-faith and incompetent manner. I'm sure the majority of articles in AfC will eventually pass muster, even if they don't when they are first reviewed. The few who can't is what m

This is the kind of thread I like... ;) I've put myself in the Wikicup, so many of my edits are with the competition in mind. I have a FA ([[Heart of a Woman]], Maya Angelou's fourth autobiography) that just passed, and I have four others languishing at GAC. I also have an Angelou featured topic
