Disambiguation link notification for August 19

Hi. When you recently edited Local government in Ukraine, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Brest (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

GOCE news and September drive invitation

Invitation from the Guild of Copy Editors

The Guild of Copy Editors invites you to participate in its events:

  • The August 2012 Copy Edit of the Month Contest is currently in the submissions stage. Submit your best August copy edit there before the end of the month. Submissions end, and discussion and voting begin, on September 1 at 00:00 (UTC).
  • September 2012 Backlog elimination drive is a month-long effort to reduce the size of the copy edit backlog. The drive begins on September 1 at 00:00 (UTC) and ends on September 30 at 23:59 (UTC). Our goals are to copy edit the articles tagged longest ago and to complete all requests placed before the end of August. Barnstars will be awarded to anyone who copy edits at least one article, and special awards will be given to the top six in the following categories: "Number of articles", "Number of words", "Number of articles of over 5,000 words", "Number of articles tagged longest ago", and "Longest article". This drive features a much easier signup process. We hope to see you there! – Your drive coordinators: Stfg, Allens, and Torchiest.

I don't want to spam you, but I think this is important, and would like to know your opinion. WingtipvorteX PTT ∅ 22:54, 3 August 2012 (UTC)

Thanks very much for the heads-up. Although, of course, one's choice of username is up to them, the youngsters (who are often the proudest of all of their callsigns) should be vigorously dissuaded from a username so transparent. That being said, though, they'll have to pry my callsign license plates from my cold, dead hands...:-) All the best, Miniapolis (talk) 02:15, 4 August 2012 (UTC)
Yes. It would be nice if such a thing could be written into policy, but I doubt it given the small number of people it affects. Youngsters are proud of their callsigns with good reason. I was 14 when I got mine, so I understand them, as do most of us, since so many hams started out in their teens.
If callsign license plates were a big problem, word would have gotten out. But it is a good illustration, hi hi. 73! de WingtipvorteX PTT ∅ 23:41, 4 August 2012 (UTC)
