The next Big Weekend – 10 to 13 August

You are invited to take part in the next big weekend, the Big Space Weekend, on 10 to 13 August. Our goal is to increase the number and quality of space-related articles. For full details, see Simple Talk. DJDunsie (talk) 20:39, 20 July 2012 (UTC)

Been looking forward to this one! I'll probably be focusing more on quality than number. The less one or two-sentence stubs the better. -Mh7kJ (talk) 14:44, 25 July 2012 (UTC)

Good idea. You can join in the GA effort if you like. :) DJDunsie (talk) 14:58, 29 July 2012 (UTC)

Oh, I'm really sorry! I completely forgot about that! I've not got much SimpleWP time these days due to my cross-wiki activity. I will help out where I can, though. :) -Mh7kJ (talk) 00:21, 2 August 2012 (UTC)

accountancy article

What do you think of my changes to the article?--RJR3333 (talk) 09:24, 25 July 2012 (UTC)

Some of them are quite complex; would you mind me asking if you copy-pasted some of it from the English Wikipedia? -Mh7kJ (talk) 14:44, 25 July 2012 (UTC)

Yes, I did.--RJR3333 (talk) 16:43, 25 July 2012 (UTC)

Please don't copy-paste from the English Wikipedia; we are the Simple English Wikipedia, and content from the English Wikipedia is often far too complex for here. Make sure to simplify things you bring over. People read this encyclopedia because they are looking for a version that is simpler and easier to understand than the main English version, don't let them down by giving them the exact same content. -Mh7kJ (talk) 00:19, 2 August 2012 (UTC)

Advice

Hello, Mh7kJ, I would like your opinion on something. I have a list of articles to create. However, if I create them, they will most likely be stubs. I think that quality is better than quantity and a few good articles instead of lots of poor ones would give this wiki a better reputation. So, instead, should I just focus on GA creation? DJDunsie (talk) 08:59, 2 August 2012 (UTC)

I'm currently going through my articles and de-stubifying and improving them. I think we have more than enough stubs (a good amount of them being about Japanese footballers, French communes and U.S. cities) and that a few good quality articles are worth more to the wiki than loads of one or two-sentence stubs. Focusing on good quality article creation is what I'd do. -Mh7kJ (talk) 11:48, 2 August 2012 (UTC)

Thanks. I'll do just that. DJDunsie (talk) 14:02, 3 August 2012 (UTC)

Christmas tree (racing)

You are probably right about the merge suggestion. There is much more that could be put into the article but without expanding the topic of drag racing around here, I don't think it would be worthwhile. Perhaps, someday, I'll have more time to dedicate to it. - UnbelievableError (talk) 02:05, 23 August 2012 (UTC)

I agree it would be a good topic to have its own article if it were expanded. -Mh7kJ (talk) 20:06, 23 August 2012 (UTC)

With vandals like that...

...it's best to just block basically straight away, and jump straight to a vand4im warning. Vandalism only account, no point keep reverting and warning. And I completely forgot that you're an admin, too. *facepalm* Goblin 16:11, 24 August 2012 (UTC) I ♥ Chenzw!

Always use multiple warnings. :P Don't listen to BG7. Should always use 3 atleast unless its very obvious. -DJSasso (talk) 16:48, 24 August 2012 (UTC)

In this instance, I would have said it was very obvious, thus my comment. But yes, where it's not obvious, what DJSasso said. Goblin 16:42, 24 August 2012 (UTC) I ♥ Nifky!

From IP 67.128.15.155 --- Not sure where to post this. I believe you are talking about me. Sorry for earlier. Won't happen again. Was just bored in class with nothing to do. I truly deeply apologize for wasting your time. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.128.15.155 (talk • contribs) 18:35, 27 August 2012 (UTC)
