Note:

Posting notes: For the sake of keeping discussions together, unless you request otherwise, I will reply to your posts here and will also watch pages where I have posted myself and expect replies there. However, it maybe helpful to leave me a {{talkback}} template telling me you have replied. Keep content disputes off here. They belong to relevant articles' talk pages. Don't revert edits to this talk page, unless they're obvious vandalism (like blanking/malicious editing of other comments, etc). I'll deal with stupid/hate/spam messages myself. Please sign and date your entries by inserting ~~~~ at the end or by clicking the icon (or in mono book theme) in the edit toolbar. And don't forget, be polite, assume good faith, avoid personal attacks, and be welcoming Thank you! --Varnent

Submission

Hi,

Thank you for the reminder. I'll complete the submission soon. Simon Villeneuve 14:00, 12 February 2013 (UTC)

No problem - you have plenty of time left. We are just trying to stay ahead of the rush.  :) --Varnent (talk)^(COI) 14:19, 12 February 2013 (UTC)

I'm not aware which part of my submission is incomplete, since it was deemed complete last year (WM2012). If you could pinpoint it, I would gladly complete it. ✒ Bennylin 12:38, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

Nothing major, just - as noted on the page - it is missing an abstract and a track selection. While it is true you did not submit an abstract last year, you did select a track. Basically the abstract is just a 2 sentence blurb we can use in various places. I suspect last year someone just wrote it for you once it was accepted, but if that can be at all avoided, we prefer the people submitting it enter the summary (abstract). It would have been considered incomplete last year, but we were not using the "incomplete" tag last year. Once the deadline is passed, all submissions (complete or incomplete) are considered, and generally if a submission was only missing something minor like the abstract, it was not a problem (although the committee reserves the right to reject based on missing items or any other valid criteria for that matter). So being incomplete only means we're not adding it to the review table until the deadline, or until it is complete. In other cases, not yours, an incomplete is also a warning to the person submitting that there are concerns with their submission. Last year these problems just resulted in submissions being rejected, the hope is that this year using this template it will motivate people to improve their submission before it is rejected. --Varnent (talk)^(COI) 14:16, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

OK. Thanks for the lengthy reply. I'll try to complete it as soon as possible. Cheers :) ✒ Bennylin 14:21, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

Sorry for the length - I was utilizing your question to answer some additional questions from others all at once.  :) --Varnent (talk)^(COI) 14:35, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

Wiki Loves Pride

Hi, Varnent. Your addition of Wiki Loves Pride to the WALRUS agenda made me curious. Is there a page with additional information? --Another Believer (talk) 16:30, 15 February 2013 (UTC)

There is as of yesterday.  :) Wiki Loves Pride --Varnent (talk)^(COI) 02:15, 16 February 2013 (UTC)
