AFT5 newsletter

Hey again all :). So, some big news, some small news, some good news, some bad news!

On the "big news" front; we've now deployed AFT5 on to 10 percent of articles, This is pretty awesome :). On the "bad news", however, it looks like we're having to stop at 10 percent until around September - there are scaling issues that make it dangerous to deploy wider. Happily, our awesome features engineering team is looking into them as we speak, and I'm optimistic that the issues will be resolved.

For both "small" and "good" news; we've got another office hours session. This one is tomorrow, at 22:00 UTC in #wikimedia-office ^connect - I appreciate it's a bit late for Europeans, but I wanted to juggle it so US east coasters could attend if they wanted :). Hope to see you all there!

File mover rights

Would you be able to tell me how many rename media I have done? Thanks, Obtund^Talk 17:20, 6 August 2012 (UTC)

• I'll be able to take a look when I have better Internet access, or when I get back from Spain. Thine Antique Pen (public) 18:59, 6 August 2012 (UTC)
  • You have added the {{rename media}} template to 7 files. 6 of the 7 files were moved. :) -- Cheers, Riley Huntley _talk No talkback needed; I'll temporarily watch here. 19:40, 6 August 2012 (UTC)

Just a quick q...when do you think I will be ready to apply because I have like 14 or something now. Obtund^Talk 02:03, 9 August 2012 (UTC)

Give it atleast a month. I understand that that is a long time but they want to see experience and pateince. -- Cheers, Riley Huntley _talk No talkback needed; I'll temporarily watch here. 15:47, 9 August 2012 (UTC)

New Pages newsletter

Hey all :)

A couple of new things.

First, you'll note that all the project titles have now changed to the Page Curation prefix, rather than having the New Pages Feed prefix. This is because the overarching project name has changed to Page Curation; the feed is still known as New Pages Feed, and the Curation Toolbar is still the Curation Toolbar. Hopefully this will be the last namechange ;p.

On the subject of the Curation Toolbar (nice segue, Oliver!) - it's now deployed on Wikipedia. Just open up any article in the New Pages Feed and it should appear on the right.

It's still a beta version - bugs are expected - and we've got a lot more work to do. But if you see something going wrong, or a feature missing, drop me a note or post on the project talkpage and I'll be happy to help :). Thanks! Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 00:09, 10 August 2012 (UTC)

Update on user-rights topic ban

Hi Thine Antique Pen. Since you seem to have found it, I thought I would confirm what's going on - by my understanding. After thoroughly reviewing your behaviour over the past few months, I had this conversation with Mbisanz and Fluffernutter. It was agreed that the topic ban that you are currently under is not fit for purpose, in those situations where you actually require a user-right, it is requested by proxy - causing even more problems than you requesting the rights yourself.

As the topic ban was not community imposed, but rather an unblocking agreement, you can consider it changed. You are now allowed to request user rights yourself, however you should discuss the matter with me first. If I endorse the user right request, you may request it in the usual manner. NB, I will not be giving you any user rights, nor my endorsement guarantee your acceptance - it will only allow you to make the request, subject to the standard community scrutiny.

OK, thanks! Thine Antique Pen (public) 11:59, 14 August 2012 (UTC)

The IPL Newsletter July 2012

	WikiProject IPL's Monthly newsletter (July, 2012)
Current updates: The coordinator elections will be held soon! Keep your eyes on our project in mid-August for more. Chennai Super Kings was selected as the FA/GA of the month, but due to lack of contributors to the article, we could not pass it as a GA. We're looking forward for contributors who are interested in the topic. The only problem with the article is to fix it's references and cite more reliable sources. If you do a lot of referencing work, you're most welcome! An IRC meetup was held to discuss future plans of the project and to discuss ideas for new articles. Seven editors were a part of it. The log of the meeting can be founded here. We hope that more such meetups will talk place. Our portal was launched early this month. You can find it here. We congratulate our vice-coordinator, Vibhijain, for working on this. Users are welcome to suggest new ideas to re innovate the portal and make it more customized. We also have a book, Book:Indian Premier League. Knights of IPL, a new award, has been launched. It was earlier known as IPL barnstar 1. Created by User:Strike Eagle, this is the highest award given by our community, and, hence, shall never be given for completing Tasks of the month. For completing Task of the month, please feel free to distribute another award by our communnity: IPL Barnstar. To distribute it, type {{subst:IPL Barnstar}} and save the page. For a list of people who have received Knights of IPL, please refer here. Upon request by the lead coordinator (Dipankan001), YuviPanda has created the all new Automatic Assessment tool for WikiProject IPL. If you want to install this script, please copy the text at User:YuviPanda/common.js to your page at Special:MyPage/common.js. It is quite easy to install and will help you very much. This newsletter have been sent to you because you are a member of WikiProject IPL. To discontinue receiving WikiProject IPL newsletters, please add your name here.

You had missed this so thought of delivering it to you. Also, do you have a Facebook account? You can connect with WP IPL anytime at this page. Thanks! @Dipankan ^{(Have a chat?)} 11:24, 17 August 2012 (UTC)

Hehe, thanks! Yeah, I've got a Facebook account, but I prefer to keep my real name private. Thine Antique Pen 11:26, 17 August 2012 (UTC)

KXIP cricketers

While working on such list, try to be more cricketing, i.e., players list has not much to do with season wise performance, stadiums, owner, etc. Instead, try to add personal record, like most runs, most centuries, most wickets, best bowling average, most catches, just what have been done at List of Delhi Daredevils cricketers. Also do add the paragraph about the tables (refer to the lat para of the DD list), and some notes to make the list more clear. If you need any help, just ask me and I will decorate your list from head to toe. :) ♛♚★Vaibhav Jain★♚♛ ^{Talk Email} 17:13, 17 August 2012 (UTC)

My RfA

Thank you for participating in my RfA. I appreciate that you had taken the time to look over my nomination and gave me serious consideration as a prospective administrator. I've noticed your activity around RfA in general recently, and I think it's great that you're involved in such an important process for the functioning of this site. Keep it up, we need more admins, and certainly more people involved in getting qualified users through RfA. =) Kurtis (talk) 17:14, 17 August 2012 (UTC)

Fuad al Muqtadir

Hi TAP, this is just to let you know that I deleted Fuad al Muqtadir, but per CSD G4, not CSD G12. The WikiBin page that you linked to was just a repository of the old Wikipedia article that was deleted (via Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Fuad al Muqtadir), and so wasn't a copyright violation. Thanks — Mr. Stradivarius ^{(have a chat)} 19:06, 17 August 2012 (UTC)

Aha, thanks! I'd actually only just saw the AfD template on the talk page before you deleted it! Thine Antique Pen 19:07, 17 August 2012 (UTC)
