message: Please forgive me if this is not permitted on your talk page -- I am new to Wikipedia and I am still learning. If any editors in the North Carolina Wikiproject are willing, I could use some advice for meeting the notability guidelines in an article I am writing for Draft:BedInABox. Full disclosure: I am being paid for the edits I make to the article; however, it is important to me that the article meets Wikipedia's guidelines. I have already submitted the article via articles for creation and it was denied due to notability issues. I have since added another source that I believe to enhance the case for notability. Thank you in advance for any advice you are willing to provide. Caustic_writer (talk) UTC01:44, 1 June 2020 (UTC)

message: I have (with the help of others) made a small user script to detect and highlight various links to unreliable sources and predatory journals. Some of you may already be familiar with it, given it is currently the 39th most imported script on Wikipedia. The idea is that it takes something like
*John Smith "Article of things" Deprecated.com. Accessed 2020-02-14. (John Smith "Article of things" Deprecated.com. Accessed 2020-02-14.)
and turns it into something like
* John Smith "" Deprecated.com. Accessed 2020-02-14.
It will work on a variety of links, including those from ,  and .
The script is mostly based on WP:RSPSOURCES, WP:NPPSG and WP:CITEWATCH and a good dose of common sense. I'm always expanding coverage and tweaking the script's logic, so general feedback and suggestions to expand coverage to other unreliable sources are always welcomed.
Do note that this is not a script to be mindlessly used, and several caveats apply. Details and instructions are available at User:Headbomb/unreliable. Questions, comments and requests can be made at User talk:Headbomb/unreliable.

message: I have been editing List of law enforcement agencies in North Carolina and feel like I am biased and cannot remove the 2 maintenance tags at the top of the page. One is for an incomplete list, and the other is for insufficient sources. 
I wanted to see if we could come to an agreement that one or both of these messages could be removed, or if they need to stay. If they need to stay, what work needs to be done on the page to have them removed? I thought about putting this on the specific talk page, but feel as though this would be more noticeable. Thanks!

message: There are a few county pages in both NC and SC that lack good photos of the county courthouse and or flag. If anyone has any good photos of some, it would be much appreciated if you could upload them. The pages that lacks good pictures should have an upload box in its talk section but feel free to update other pages with older photos too. If you have any questions, feel free to ping me on this page or contact me on my talk page. Adding the pictures to the county page infobox is quiet easy, for a Courthouse picture, it should go in the "ex image" and then add a short description in the "ex image cap" section. County flags should go in the "flag" section along with county seals going in the "seal" section. Thanks again for your help, if you have any questions, feel free to contact me.

replies: text: @CareAhLine Thanks for that catch with Fayetteville, I must’ve forgot it when I was going through the major cities. But, other than that, I think all the necessary pages have updated estimates now. If it isn’t too much trouble, I would greatly appreciate the help for updating county and major city pages for the 2023 estimate. County estimates are usually released in March and municipalities above 5,000 people are released in May. Definitely nothing to worry about now but your help when they are released would make the updating process much quicker. I’m still hopeful that User:CenPop bot will be approved sooner or later because it can update 10-year census (and possibly estimate) counts almost instantaneously. Thanks again and have a great day!

message: Quality assessments by Wikipedia editors rate articles in terms of completeness, organization, prose quality, sourcing, etc. Most wikiprojects follow the general guidelines at Wikipedia:Content assessment, but some have specialized assessment guidelines. A recent Village pump proposal was approved and has been implemented to add a  parameter to , which can display a general quality assessment for an article, and to let project banner templates "inherit" this assessment.
No action is required if your wikiproject follows the standard assessment approach. Over time, quality assessments will be migrated up to , and your project banner will automatically "inherit" any changes to the general assessments for the purpose of assigning categories.
However, if your project has decided to "opt out" and follow a non-standard quality assessment approach, all you have to do is modify your wikiproject banner template to pass  a new  parameter. If this is done, changes to the general quality assessment will be ignored, and your project-level assessment will be displayed and used to create categories, as at present.

There was an article written (linked below) regarding the mayor attempting to "sanitize her Wikipedia Article" by removing edits regarding a confrontation that took place in public and was widely reported on by local media. I wanted to bring this to the attention of this group and get have those members join the discussions regarding adding this article to the respective members pages.
