This user talk page might be watched by friendly talk page stalkers, which means that someone other than me might reply to your query. Their input is welcome and their help with messages that I cannot reply to quickly is appreciated.

Welcome to my talk page. Please adhere to the talk page guidelines and particularly the following:

Please post your new topic at the bottom of this page.
Please sign and date your entry by inserting "~~~~" at the end.
Please specify a descriptive subject or headline for a new topic and separate subtopics by ===heading=== lines, if needed.
Please indent your posts with one more ":" than what you are replying to, i.e. begin with ":" if replying to an existing topic and "::" if replying to a reply.

I will generally respond here to comments that are posted here, rather than replying via your Talk page (or the article Talk page, if you are writing to me here about an article), so you may want to watch this page until you are responded to, or specifically let me know where you'd prefer the reply.

NPP School traning

Hi, I'd like to apply to become one of your NPP School trainees. I've been patrolling new pages for a year now, but I've only been looking at 5-10 pages a week, and mostly rely off of this flowchart, which doesn't cover a lot, meaning I'm fairly inexperienced. I think your help would be very helpful for me to become a better new page patroller and to expand my work of maintaining Wikipedia's quality. interstate five 00:54, 24 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Interstatefive Good day. Thank you for interested in NPPS program. Pls note that the program is extremely complex and comprehensive which would take up a lot of your time to read and work on the assignments. However, there is no time limit to finish the program. Most participants would take about 3 months to complete it. If you are still interest after knowing the above info then pls complete WP:TWA first (very short 90mins program) and once you have done that then pls pop back here and I will set up the program for you. Be safe and best. Cassiopeia talk 10:37, 26 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm up for it. However, when I said I was "inexperienced", I didn't mean I didn't know much about policies such as WP:NPOV or WP:V, I meant I didn't know much on the NPP process due to completely relying on the flow chart. Do you think the TWA would still be helpful, even though it just covers stuff I already know? interstate five 22:09, 26 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Interstatefive You would familiar with the basic/fundamental general Wikipedia guidelines by taking the TWA program. Pls complete the TWA program (only 90 mins) and pop back here and I will set up the program for you. Cassiopeia talk 03:02, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Potential student

Hi Cass. Long time no speak. Hope you're going well. Saw this editor @CoderThomasB detect spam and reach out to the Teahouse for help. To me that shows a degree of competence and conduct that is very promising, particularly as he only has 250 edits. I recommended that he at one stage requests to complete UVAA, although they may need a little more experience before enrolling...promising potential future student. Take care, MC MaxnaCarta (talk) 02:14, 28 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I would definitely be interested in learning more about anti-vandalism/counter-vandalism and the related tools on Wikipedia! But I would like to know what kind of things are involved in a mentorship before fully committing, and to make sure the mentorship doesn't interfere with school and other such things. I have mainly worked on other wiki-like projects like OpenStreetMap and a bit of open source software, but as you can see by my edit count I haven't done much substantial on Wikipedia yet, but I do think I have a reasonable understanding of most of the guidelines. Also, I think you meant WP:CVUA or WP:AAU not UVAA, would that be correct? - CoderThomasB (talk) 12:47, 28 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@CoderThomasB yep, CVUA is correct. Forgive the typo. At this level of edits, you probably won't be accepted just yet. I recommend you go over to the page and take a look at the curriculum. Some things off the top of my head you will learn:

How to use tools like Twinkle and the Recent Changes log to detect clear vandalism
How to detect and report vandalism to administrators
How to detect and report other issues such as username violations, copyright, spam, and other misc issues
How to (once you are ready) apply for advanced permissions like Rollbacker which enable you to use Huggle (Do not use Huggle until someone explains how it works, you can do significant damage very quickly by accident if you do not know what you're doing). Etc etc.

MaxnaCarta (talk) 01:55, 30 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@MaxnaCarta and CoderThomasB: Good day. Thank you MaxnaCarta for the message - it has been a while since we last communicate - believe all is fine and hope you are well. CoderThomas B, AAU is part of the CUVA program among many other topics. CUVA is a program for editor who would like to be a counter vandalism editor. The participant needs to have at least 200 minimum total main space to join the program and at the current stage you have 84 - see here. You can come back here if you want to join once you have reach the required edits; however, I do recommend you to complete WP:TWA first (a very short program -90 mins) so you may familiar with Wikipedia fundamental guidelines. CVUA do take a lot of your time for you need to read the guidelines and do the assignment; however, there is not time limit to complete the program. Most participants take about 3 months to complete the program. Be safe and best. Cassiopeia talk 09:59, 30 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

CVUA request

Hi Cassiopeia. I started CVUA with you a while back (here is my request). Unfortunately I didn't finish due to being busy at the time, but I'd like to complete it now. Could I either resume from where I left off or start over? Thanks! — RTao (talk • contribs) 05:55, 30 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

RTao Good day and good to hear from you again. Yes, you may continue where you left off (assignment 3). Be safe and best. Cassiopeia talk 09:49, 30 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Question

Hi Cassi sorry for bother i was wondering if i could ask you something? DarkHorseMayhem (talk) 20:57, 30 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

DarkHorseMayhem Ask away. Be safe and best. Cassiopeia talk 03:51, 1 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

What you think of Draft:Michał Materla that I improve and worked really hard on it and Materla is more then enough notable to be on mainspace can we move draft to mainspace wha you think? DarkHorseMayhem (talk) 03:55, 1 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry DarkHorseMayhem (talk) 03:26, 2 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

DarkHorseMayhem I have reviewed the draft page and the subject does not meet the WP:MMABIO or WP:GNG notability guidelines to be merit a page in Wikipedia main space. Pls note that fight reports (announcements and results) are considered routine reports and do not contribute to the notability requirements. Be safe and best. Cassiopeia talk 03:37, 2 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

you know that a lot of least notable fighters have page right? DarkHorseMayhem (talk) 03:39, 2 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

So all hard work I did was fro nothing just fro you to say that guy who is one the most notable fighters in Poland long term former champ can't get a page DarkHorseMayhem (talk) 03:41, 2 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I know Polish and can add way more sources. Materla is notable and there is much info about his life on the internet, tho mostly in Polish.HeinzMaster (talk) 03:47, 2 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Would be appreciated Heinz thanks in advance DarkHorseMayhem (talk) 03:49, 2 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'll add it to the top of my que to do articles. Will finish it in the next day or so. Thanks for the help HeinzMaster (talk) 03:51, 2 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

HeinzMaste OK, pls add extra independent, reliable sources to meet the notability guidelines. Once it is done, then move to main space or ping for review. Thank you very much. Cassiopeia talk 04:08, 2 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
