Accessing JCR
edit(Looking at your user page) Most colleges/universities provide access to their students to JCR/Web of Science, and to a good number of journals electronically. The library of your college/university most likely has instructions on its web site. If you are on campus, you may not even need to log in any way because the IP of on-campus computers can be automatically recognized as belonging to your college.

editI would recommend that you do not tag his pages as nonsense - they all fail the inclusion standard but are good faith additions written in Filipino. • \ / (⁂) 09:19, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

Thanks and a request
editThanks for signing up at Wikipedia:Peer review/volunteers and for your work doing reviews. It is now just over a year since the last peer review was archived with no repsonse after 14 (or more) days, something we all can be proud of. There is a new Peer review user box to track the backlog (peer reviews at least 4 days old with no substantial response), which can be found here. To include it on your user or talk page, please add {{Wikipedia:Peer review/PRbox}} . Thanks again, and keep up the good work, Ruhrfisch ><>°° 04:45, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

The Special Barnstar | ||
I'd like to offer my thanks, and, I hope, the thanks of all Wikipedians, for the amount of time and effort you're contributing to International Space Station. You want that gold star for the article so badly that you can practically see it hanging on the article page already, and that's providing you with a motivation I rarely see. I wish you the best of luck with your efforts, I wish you the appreciation of the other editors and countlessreaders, and, most importantly, I wish you that gold star! --Ericdn (talk) 08:40, 11 March 2009 (UTC) |
Dr. Milutin Pavlovic - article on hold
editThank you very much, i would apreciate your help with editing the article in proper way. I will try to submit more sources on Dr. Milutin Pavlovic. However, career of Dr. Pavlovic belongs to an era when there was no internet and therefore collecting or finding online sources is quite difficult.Please feel free to edit the article as you think it should be done, and let me know in which way i can assist you...Thanks again for your help

Copyedit
editHi, I saw your name on WP:PRV's General copyediting section. You say you're open to anything, so here goes. I've been working onUltima Underworld: The Stygian Abyss, and I'm about to throw it to the FAC wolves. It's been solo work, though, so the prose hasn't had any kind of second opinion. Despite my copyediting efforts, I can tell it isn't 1a material. If you have the time, it would be great if you could take a look at it. Thanks. JimmyBlackwing (talk) 17:27, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

Asks about article about Rouzet
editHello,
I am the creator of the article "Lucien Rouzet". Because english is not my mother tongue, (you will notice it) I have employed some persons experts in english translating, to translate (by keeping the same spirit) the french article which is accepted by the french community of Wikipedia.
Could you tell me what I have to do "to meet Wikipedia's quality standards." but in the other hand to keep the spirit of the french article in reference, in the goal to see banners removed.
Thank you in advance for your response.

Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot
editSuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.
If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.
P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot (talk) 11:08, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
