Senegal

edit

Great news. Senegal has developed a little on the web and we know have population data on sites like PEPAM and information on many missing villages here. Senegal was on my hot list of countries to do but I had post poned it because of lack of online info. Now it can be developed. French wikipedia also has 189 articles compared to our 56. Also world gazeteer has some data so plenty to keep us busy. I;m still concentrating on Nepal and Mexico and Burkina if I can access the site but for sure we should go for it.

Done.

edit

Im sorry if my parady seemed insulting, it was ment to be quite humurous. I have removed the whole section as to avoid any more drama and so (hopefully) the candidate doesnt see it and interprets it to be an attack.   «l| Ψrometheăn ™|l»  (talk) 12:49, 28 September 2008 (UTC)Reply

That was good of you, thanks. Humour that can be seen as attacking the nominator or nominee is not appropriate for an RfA. I appreciate your removing it. Regards, EJF (talk) 12:56, 28 September 2008 (UTC)Reply

Wikipedia:WikiProject Mexico/State templates

edit

Hi EJF how are you? I;ve got around to drawing up the templates for the municipalities/cities of Mexico. However I will require help in adding the municipalities/city seat articles to all of these state nav templates. For instance please see Template:Chihuahua. I;ve got as far as Coahuila but I need help in copying the municipalities/seats into the templates, most of the articles are missing which is awful given the size of most of them begin several 1,000 sq kilometres. Using the pages like Municipalities of Chihuahua etc for each state do you think you could help format each of the templates which the appropriate municipality/seat in the style shown for Chihuahua. I've left a {*} divider in each of the box to incude between each one. If you closely follow Chihuahua template. enboldening the municipal above the seat this makes it much clearer. Could you lend a hand? I'm afraid I'm on my own with it at present. Blofeld of SPECTRE (talk) 18:32, 13 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

Re:Translation

edit

Cool - I'll try to use that most of the time now. Thanks a lot for directing me to tis. As for the article, Nishkid and I did have some help from native French speakers, so I think it is positive the article contains no errors. Cheers ~one of many editorofthewikis (talk/contribs/editor review)~ 20:14, 15 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

I could really use your help dabbing this page. I'm making good progress (contrary to the "FritzpollBot naming" as you've probably noticed and it makes it easier if they are dabbed as I can drill through them all in my BlofeldBot mode. Still want to resume with Burkina sometime too Dr. Blofeld (talk) 18:48, 30 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

Closure of WP:GEOBOT

edit

Regrettably I have come to inform you, that this bot project will not go into operation and therefore the project will be closing down. Thanks everybody for their time and support but there is a clear reason why it failed. Dr. Blofeld (talk) 11:50, 31 October 2008 (UTC)Reply
