Hello Kevin. you have expressed an interest in r/mensrights about have more people come in to improve this page. I have two users WLU and sonicyouth who are creating a very hostile environment on this page, including singling me out with ad hominem rather than discussing my edits. In addition, they are disputing one of my recently added sources, which I believe to be reliable, and repeatedly deleting my contributions without discussion. I believe they are current working in conjunction to get me banned for edit warring by taking turns removing my material. You intervention would be appreciated.[[User:Yhwhsks|Yhwhsks]] ([[User talk:Yhwhsks|talk]]) 20:10, 9 March 2013 (UTC) |

Wikipedian in Residence
I've put the notice up - sorry for the delay. I ended up using the range [37.6, -122], [38, -122.5], which should cover the city, but you might want to double-check the university is covered - it sometimes happens that institutional networks do strange things on geo-IP lookups. I've set it to run until the end of 10 February (UTC); let me know if you'd like longer. Andrew Gray (talk) 17:43, 26 February 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks a bunch, Andrew. It looks like the University is covered. A longer running notice shouldn't be needed; I assume that any interested pre-existing Wikipedians will notice it in that time period. Kevin Gorman (talk) 01:08, 3 March 2013 (UTC)
The Tea Leaf - Issue Seven (special Birthday recap)
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0d/TH_Badge_I%2B.png/140px-TH_Badge_I%2B.png)
It's been a full year since the Teahouse opened, and as we're reflecting on what's been accomplished, we wanted to celebrate with you.
Teahouse guests and hosts are sharing their stories in a new blog post about the project.
1 year statistics for Teahouse visitors compared to invited non-visitors from the pilot:
Metric | Control group | Teahouse group | Contrast |
---|---|---|---|
Average retention (weeks with at least 1 edit) | 5.02 weeks | 8.57 weeks | 1.7x retention |
Average number of articles edited | 58.7 articles | 116.9 edits | 2.0x articles edited |
Average talk page edits | 36.5 edits | 85.6 edits | 2.4x talk page edits |
Average article space edits | 129.6 edits | 360.4 edits | 2.8x article edits |
Average total edits (all namespaces) | 182.1 edits | 532.4 edits | 2.9x total edits |
Over the past year almost 2000 questions have been asked and answered, 669 editors have introduced themselves, 1670 guests have been served, 867 experienced Wikipedians have participated in the project, and 137 have served as hosts. Read more project analysis in our CSCW 2013 paper
Last month January was our most active month so far! 78 profiles were created, 46 active hosts answered 263 questions, and 11 new hosts joined the project.
Come by the Teahouse to share a cup of tea and enjoy a Birthday Cupcake! Happy Birthday to the Teahouse and thank you for a year's worth of interest and support :-)

Not sure how to approach resolving issues with Carptrash
Hi, I'm hoping that, as an experienced Wikipedian, you may be able to help with Carptrash on the Men's rights movement talk page. 4 years ago when I initially created this account, I stopped contributing after a short time because of similar behavior levied in my direction. I decided to not let that happen this time and was just going to ignore them, but after seeing them immediately act the same way against another user, I can't believe that it will be isolated to just this situation unless something is done to express how toxic these types of actions are to well intentioned and well behaving new editors. I've looked through Wikipedia policies, but they seem to be acting with impunity and I could not find where or how to report this type of behavior. In particular, I am talking about what started with this, then led to this and what finally made me seek out a more experienced Wikipedian of this. Honestly, I'm not sure how much of this sort of thing I can ignore before just giving up again. Ismarc (talk) 01:15, 6 March 2013 (UTC)
