I have nominated List of awards and nominations received by Fiona Apple for featured list removal here. Please join the discussion on whether this article meets the featured list criteria. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks; editors may declare to "Keep" or "Remove" the article's featured status. The instructions for the review process are here.

Hi. I see that you've added a very detailed synopsis, but you haven't provided a reference saying where it comes from. Is it, perhaps, copied directly from the opera's programme? If so, it could be a breach of copyright, and you'd be well advised to paraphrase it and give a credit to the author, or to the programme. If you have permission from the copyright owner to copy it, that's OK, but you'll need to go through WP's procedures. Apologies if you knew all this already. Best. --GuillaumeTell 17:44, 12 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the message. It think it would be better if you could rewrite the synopsis (maybe shortening it a bit) and putting in a ref saying something like "This synopsis is based on the one by D. Kramer in the programme for the premiere performances". Incidentally, I read through it and noticed quite a few errors - spelling and grammar - so by all means make your corrections before paraphrasing it. Actually, I wondered if it was translated from French! I'm moving the premiere stuff up to the top of the article and may make a few more adjustments - feel free to complain if you don't like what I've done. --GuillaumeTell 18:02, 12 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello to WikiProject Oregon folks, and get ready for another Collaboration Of The Week. Thank you to those who worked on the land fraud scandal and Mr. Wicks. This week we have one by request, Central Oregon, and a gnomish task, the Great Infobox Drive of '09. For the infobox drive, just find some articles without infoboxes and add one. People and companies are two prime areas as many do not have infoboxes, yet infoboxes exist for those areas.

If you want to nominate this for GA, I think it's an interesting topic and would do a review. Hekerui (talk) 23:52, 31 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Review done. Take a look. Hekerui (talk) 15:24, 14 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You know, I should probably check out the album, especially since I'm from Berlin :) Hekerui (talk) 17:45, 14 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Howdy after a long message absence to those of WikiProject Oregon. To answer a common question, no you did not get removed from the COTW notification list, I was just too busy to send out the notification for the last change. So, thank you to all those who helped improve Central Oregon and Mount Jefferson, as well as those who added infoboxes and adopted a governor. For this edition of the COTW, we have partly by request and in honor of the return of college football, Duck football and Beaver football. If you are a fan of neither, maybe go back and work on a governor or add infoboxes this time around.

Greetings from WikiProject Oregon. First, thank you to all those who helped improve the Ducks and Beavers football teams. Second, now on with the countdown.

Hello WikiProject Oregon member, it is time for another Collaboration of the Week. First, thanks to those who helped out the last few weeks improving the Portland Hempstalk Festival and the Munson Valley Historic District articles. This week we have by request Rasheed Wallace and the Oregon Zoo. The later should have lots of recent news with the new/old exhibit opening. As always, click here to opt out of these messages, or click here to make a suggestion for a future COTW. Aboutmovies (talk) 08:26, 20 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

General rule would be to wait a short time (give it at least a couple of review cycles) before re-nominating. Go over it with a fine-tooth comb, make sure there's nothing you've missed. Maybe ask someone from WP:TV to take a look, or ask for a peer review before re-nominating. KV5 (Talk • Phils) 16:02, 22 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Huh, I thought it'd won. I didn't take a closer look. I don't see why any color or symbols are needed; the list already says who got 1st, 2nd, 3rd, so why emphasize it more? And, likewise, the only time a footnote is required already has a symbol, it doesn't need special color either. --Golbez (talk) 16:02, 22 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The article Poses (album) you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needed to be addressed. If these are fixed within seven days, the article will pass, otherwise it will fail. See Talk:Poses (album) for things needed to be addressed. Cannibaloki 03:29, 29 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Have you got a little time to help keep the Bob Marley article a good article as it is being reassessed? There are not so many issues, here are the details, no pressure, regards. Off2riorob (talk) 00:49, 1 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sweet, there is time to look at the Marley article, at least a week, and I will come join in at the cannabis project, great. Off2riorob (talk) 01:04, 1 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Good news, good article. Thanks for you help and encouragement, I am looking for a little job now, perhaps one on the cannabis project, any suggestions? Off2riorob (talk) 10:55, 7 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Greetings fellow WikiProject Oregon member, time to uncork a fine wine as it is once again time for the Collaboration of the Week. As always, thank you to those who helped out the last few weeks improving the Oregon Zoo, the Rasheed Wallace, Willamette Bridges, and the Vanport articles. This week we have by request Jim Paxson and Films shot in Oregon. The later can easily be improved just by adding some sources. As always, click here to opt out of these messages, or click here to make a suggestion for a future COTW. And with Halloween fast approaching, remember that pennies really suck as a “treat” and you can expect toilet paper and or eggs on your residence for your “trick”.

Hi, I'm looking at setting up a WikiProject, which I haven't done since 2006..and a lot of things have changed! I was hoping you might be able to answer some questions about how it's gone for you.

Hello fellow WikiProject Oregon member, once again time for the Collaboration of the Week in the land of Oregon. As always, thank you to those who helped out the last few weeks improving List of films shot in Oregon and Jim Paxson. This week we have by request Oregon tax revolt and not by request, the annual Hospital creation drive. For the later, I have laid out some sources here, and the remaining red links are all over the state, so you can find one near you!

Greetings to WikiProject Oregon folks. It is time again for another installment of as the Collaboration Of The Week Turns. A big thank you to last time’s guest stars who worked on Oregon tax revolt‎ and creating hospital articles, we had 3 DYKs off the hospital articles createdd. This week is the star-studded affair of the Semi-annual Great Oregon Picture Drive, starring Another Believer. You can go out and take a picture, browse through Commons for an existing one, or search for a free one on the Internet, and in some cases remove an old request (or even add a request to an article that has no images). See the bottom of this page for some links to a variety of free sources. Again, click here to opt out of these messages, or click here to make a suggestion for a future COTW.

Hey AB, thanks for your note. I'll hopefully have time later today to have a look at the list and give you my opinion on where it stands. Cheers. The Rambling Man (talk) 15:57, 1 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Replied here. Sorry, and good luck on the list. Dabomb87 (talk) 03:52, 3 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Better late than never I hope. Sorry for the lengthy delay, I've been here, there and everywhere and I just remembered today what I'd said I'd do. Hope my comments are of use. Good luck! The Rambling Man (talk) 15:59, 10 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see why it shouldn't go for a run at FLC, not at all. It's well-written, illustrated, I can't see easily which criteria it would fail, so why not...? The Rambling Man (talk) 14:14, 17 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Nice. I'll do my best (while Dabomb87's away) to help with the nomination. The Rambling Man (talk) 18:53, 17 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Phew, finally! Way to hang in there! Great job. --Esprqii (talk) 03:49, 2 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello WikiProject Oregon member, and seasons greetings. Here at Collaboration Of The Week we thank you for your efforts making Oregon better, at least on Wikipedia, and hope you are doing better than Joe's. Or, in the eloquent words of some marketing manager for another now defunct Oregon chain, Merry Christmas from PayLess... Merry Chriiiistmaaaasssss!!!

Now that pleasantries have been exchanged, thank you to those who worked on the last two collaborations, the Semi-annual Great Oregon Picture Drive, and Oregon Country Fair and Geoff Petrie. For this edition of the COTW we have Gambling in Oregon and NRHP in Washington County. The hope for the later is to fill in the last few images (5) and then see if we can make it the first NRHP list in Oregon with an article for every entry (need 27).

The page seems to be a stub, a mess, and started up and abandoned in October. Much has happened since, of course, and is there someone who knows the subject well enough to fix the page, make it readable, and retitle it? Thanks. Aleister Wilson (talk) 20:52, 20 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't realize the listing of the politicians was so new. Well done! I won't dabble into it any more than I've done for now. I tried to find unlinked publications and publishers, but you've caught almost all of them. Happy Solstice, Festivus, and Christmas, and I must retire to my porch to join ole Abe. Aleister Wilson (talk) 21:34, 20 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Good to meet you. Quick work on the California page. I would assume as the initiative nears that people will search Wikipedia for data concerning it, its history, and activities. The Oregon page looks very good, and I'll read it soon. As a side note, I tried to find out months ago if the Lincoln bible Obama used at the swearing-in was made from hemp, couldn't find the data. Enjoy, Aleister Wilson (talk) 21:45, 20 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Happy New Year to you, you WikiProject Oregon member! Tis the season for one last Collaboration Of The Week to get started this year. Thank you to those who worked on Gambling in Oregon and NRHP in Washington County the last few weeks. For the final COTW of 2009, we have Archiving Article Talk Pages and Mr. Standard TV & Appliance, Bill Schonely. For the archiving, we have a lot of old, stale comments on article talk pages from before 2009 that should be archived away, so that new comments are not added to things that either were addressed or not worth addressing. Personally, I archive anything older than a year. Anyway, click here to opt out of these messages, or click here to make a suggestion for a future COTW. Adios.

Greetings WikiProject Oregon team member. Time for the first new Collaboration Of The Week in 2010. Thank you to those who worked on Bill Schonely and archiving talk pages. For this week, we have Concordia University and the Berry Botanic Garden. Hopefully we can mine the garden’s website before it closes down. As always, click here to opt out of these messages, or click here to make a suggestion for a future COTW. Cheers and stuff. Aboutmovies (talk) 09:53, 22 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Congratulations on your wonderful work on that Grammy Trad Pop list. It's great to have more editors for traditional pop music stuff. Kudos for your Rufus Does Judy article as well. That's some serious work. I was at the London concert, it was quite something Gareth E Kegg (talk) 20:52, 29 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You took out the first pun :( Gareth E Kegg (talk) 18:13, 31 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Howdy WikiProject Oregon folks, time again for the latest installment of As the Collaboration Of The Week Turns. Last week was one of the more successful COTWs in recent memory as we really worked hard as a community to improve Concordia University and Berry Botanic Garden. Both are now at least C class articles and nicely illustrated (thanks to Tedder, Finetooth, and Ipoellet). Plus it really was a group effort as we had five different WPORE editors work on the garden and ditto with the school, with some overlap between the two.

Anyway, this week, we have by request the completely unrelated Just Out and Terrell Brandon. As always, click here to opt out of these messages, or click here to make a suggestion for a future COTW. This message paid for by Fooians against COTW killing taxes. Aboutmovies (talk) 09:33, 30 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I've just did a comment about that. I'm glad you are adding the nominees. I think is important since the Grammy articles do not include them. If you need help, ask me. Jaespinoza (talk) 18:14, 2 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
