Page Curation newsletter - closing up!

Hey all :).

We're (very shortly) closing down this development cycle for Page Curation. It's genuinely been a pleasure to talk with you all and build software that is so close to my own heart, and also so effective. The current backlog is 9 days, and I've never seen it that low before.

However! Closing up shop does not mean not making any improvements. First-off, this is your last chance to give us a poke about unresolved bugs or report new ones on the talkpage. If something's going wrong, we want to know about it :). Second, we'll hopefully be taking another pass over the software next year. If you've got ideas for features Page Curation doesn't currently have, stick them here.

Again, it's been an honour. Thanks :). Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 12:23, 17 October 2012 (UTC)

Global settings change

Hello. Sorry not to have handled your request before, but I've been busy last months. I would need a temporary password to be able to make the changes. Can you please send it to me by mail via m:Special:EmailUser/Quentinv57 ? Regards, -- Quentinv57 09:41, 21 October 2012 (UTC)

PERM

Hi Riley. Just a truly friendly reminder that 'to do' or 'not to do' is an admin decision. Clerking these pages is unnecessary and if it really is, then please see this documentation - we don't want to impart the wrong impression. That applies even more so when handling ACC, a right which requires even more qualifications than adminship itself. Otherwise, do keep up the good work, and as you know, I'm always on hand for any help and advice :) 00:29, 27 October 2012 (UTC)Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk)

Hello, Kudpung. Thank you for the very kind of reminder about using the optional {{NAO}} template, I will remember to use it more often. No need to remind me how delicate ACC is, like others, I deal with it everyday. Your advice is always respected and welcome here. :) -- Cheers, Riley Huntley 02:54, 27 October 2012 (UTC)

Aziz Ozan Öztürk

I am aware that I tagged Aziz Ozan Öztürk with {{A1}} premature (page 14 minutes old), but I feel it would useless to remove the templates to add them back 20 minutes later. Apologies for tagging the article so early in the first place. -- Cheers, Riley Huntley 16:18, 31 October 2012 (UTC)

Kings Island Facts

You deleted this sub page Kings Island Facts, This page is a subpage for Kings Island to contain lists of facts that do not belong on the main page for GA Staandard reasons. Please undo this.--Nickvet419 (talk) 02:41, 1 November 2012 (UTC)

Hello, I am not a administrator, thus I did not delete the fact page, I only nominated the article for deletion since the usable information was merged and because it was a Redundant fork. The article is only B class so there is no concern about the content meeting GA standards, it can also always be improved to GA standards. -- Cheers, Riley Huntley 02:52, 1 November 2012 (UTC)

Rollback of edit on Kings Island.

This information had previously been in the article before and removed for GA standards, discussed in the talk page. --Nickvet419 (talk) 03:20, 1 November 2012 (UTC)

Ah, thanks for explaining now. Content should not be sacrificed just because it does not meet GA standards, specially when there is no current review on the article. Yes, lists may not be able to be expanded like the section "Current attractions" but bulleted information can be expanded into paragraphs. I have re-added the "Notable people" section, which I ask you do not remove without a response here. -- Cheers, Riley Huntley 03:30, 1 November 2012 (UTC)

sounds good to me, I found notable people to be noteworthy as it is referenced also in the peoples wiki pages , but also make a note on the talk page for you reasoning. --Nickvet419 (talk) 03:34, 1 November 2012 (UTC)

Novel American Tyler Ward Correction

You had edited the Novel American article and bluelinked the name Tyler Ward. I wanted to clarify for you that this is the wrong Tyler Ward. I actually made the same mistake the first time I started following Novel American. The Tyler Ward who played drums for NA is not the Tyler Ward famous for his YouTube cover. NA's Tyler Ward came from Cecil Adora with Van Beasley and is a different person just with the same name. On Twitter, the Tyler Ward that has the Wiki page is @TylerWardMusic and NA's old Tyler Ward is @TylerWardIs. I've also asked Josh Farro to re-verify this and I'll let you know if he gets back to me. Thanks for your time!

Wow, thank you so much for correcting me! -- Cheers, Riley Huntley 14:49, 1 November 2012 (UTC)

Your bad faith

Riley, I look forward to your apology. Will you look at User:Don'tletthepigeonfan, deleted by JohnCD as a copyright violation? That's the page I reported as a copyright violation, and you went on to claim that I was a vandal of some sort. You are welcome to look at my other contributions, on TheFilmSchool and on Woking High School, and I'll serve you your crow any way you like. Seriously: you placed a vandal-3 template on my talk page, and I want that gone and replaced with an apology. Thanks! 66.168.247.159 (talk) 21:27, 1 November 2012 (UTC)

Actually, I made the edit in good faith (as all my edits are made) by leaving a attempt-2 template on your talk page because of what the filter log showed, which was section blanking. I am not talking about this one but more this and this, same with this. Now for the personal attack template, you have made several personal attacks on vandals, which is not appropriate and encyclopedic. I will not remove any warnings (certainly not the personal attack template) until you explain your edits. As I mentioned, I am making this edit in good faith. :) -- Cheers, Riley Huntley

You made all your edits in good faith--do you have any idea how sanctimonious that sounds? All those edits were correct and you know it. For instance, you point at Red Ribbon Week--my edits were followed by those of Walter Görlitz (talk · contribs), who kindly left me a welcome template, and AlexiusHoratius (talk · contribs), an admin who protected the page after I asked for it at RFPP. In other words, you may have looked at something, but you didn't look far enough, and that's why you won't make admin anytime soon. The only reason you slapped warning templates around is that you don't know how to write content and that you think IP editors aren't worth your time.

I left you this message in good faith, as an opportunity for you to improve yourself. Now, you won't retract the vandalism templates you left on my talk page, and I don't see an apology yet, so I'll just leave you an expletive there in response. Be careful not to use rollback incorrectly when you're following me around. All the best, Riley Huntley. 66.168.247.159 (talk) 21:55, 1 November 2012 (UTC)

I got one for you: {{Uw-harass3}} 66.168.247.159 (talk) 22:13, 1 November 2012 (UTC)

I removed the good faith warning I placed incorrectly, sadly, I had to place a last warning for personal attacks per your contributions ([1] Edit summaries: [2] [3] [4]. Please be the force of good, okay? -- Cheers, Riley Huntley

Pay respect, Mr. Riley Huntley. If you look carefully and corroborate my talk page with my edit history, you'll find that I've been warned by a large number of ... who don't know dick about editing or writing and who think that IP editors should by definition be distrusted. I'm saddened to see that you seem to be one of them. You can get all hoity-toity about "personal insults" or whatever, but maybe you should try editing while not logged in, to see what a large pool of idiots we have here, armed with rollback and Twinkle and templates at the ready. You'll be saying worse than me in no time. Now, I'm going to take your advice and your final warning to heart, fo shizzle, and will leave you with your righteousness. I hope you will draw one or more appropriate lessons from this, for when you do run for admin. Until you do, I won't !vote for you (I will log in for the occasion, of course). 66.168.247.159 (talk) 23:06, 1 November 2012 (UTC)
