New Page Triage newsletter

Hey all!

Thanks to everyone who attended our first office hours session; the logs can be found here, if you missed it, and we should be holding a second one on Thursday, 22 March 2012 at 18:00 UTC in #wikimedia-office. I hope to see you all there :).

In the meantime, I have greatly expanded the details available at Wikipedia:New Page Triage: there's a lot more info about precisely what we're planning. If you have ideas, and they aren't listed there, bring them up and I'll pass them on to the developers for consideration in the second sprint. And if you know anyone who might be interested in contributing, send them there too!

Draft article

Thank you for letting me know that it hasn't been accepted. I can't see where to view the article to read the comments, please could you advise? Many thanks, Charlie Melville — Preceding unsigned comment added by Charlotte Melville (talk • contribs) 09:43, 14 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

User:Czarkoff declined the submission - you will see their comments at Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Swiftflow.--ukexpat (talk) 13:05, 14 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello

Hi there, thanks for making my talk page. I've gotten a couple of responses on my help desk query but nothing that really tells me what to do here. I realize Wikipedia is decentralized, but is there any way to get a hold of someone in an administrative capacity who can tell me what to do here?

Thanks.

How is telling the truth vandalism?

If a person (who admits to doing so) creates a page about themselves with little qualification to do so and I edit saying they did so amount to vandalism? Is Wikipedia about truth or pandering to inflated egos? Very strange practice, and in the interests of tranparency I see I have done nothing wrong. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.72.89.118 (talk) 19:37, 14 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I have added an appropriate tag to the article.--ukexpat (talk) 19:40, 14 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

GOCE March drive newsletter

Guild of Copy Editors March 2012 backlog elimination drive update
GOCE March 2012 Backlog Elimination progress graphs

Greetings from the Guild of Copy Editors March 2012 Backlog elimination drive! Here's the mid-drive newsletter.

Participation: We have had 58 people sign up for this drive so far, which compares favorably with our last drive, and 27 have copy-edited at least one article. If you have signed up but have not yet copy-edited any articles, please consider doing so. Every bit helps! If you haven't signed up yet, it's not too late. Join us!

Progress report: Our target of completing the 2010 articles has almost been reached, with only 56 remaining of the 194 we had at the start of the drive. The last ones are always the most difficult, so thank you if you are able to help copy-edit any of the remaining articles. We have reduced the total backlog by 163 articles so far.

Special thanks: Special thanks to Stfg, who has been going through the backlog and doing some preliminary vetting of the articles—removing copyright violations, doing initial clean-up, and nominating some for deletion. This work has helped make the drive a more pleasant experience for all our volunteers.

Your drive coordinators – Dianna (talk), Stfg (talk), and Dank (talk)

greetings

Dear Ukexpat

thanks for your welcome message. I will be working on the Corby and Baily page over the coming few days to tidy it up and make the necessary and recommended corrections. Apologies this has taken so long, I have suffered a serious illness and and only really beginning to surface now. :)

Any hints gratefully received

Strange how copyvios (and fluffy BLPS) sometimes stick around for years. Thanks for noticing. Drmies (talk) 16:52, 19 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I can't take the credit -- saw it at WP:BLPN!--ukexpat (talk) 16:53, 19 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

help triage some feedback

Hey guys.

I appreciate this isn't quite what you signed up for, but I figured as people who are already pretty good at evaluating whether material is useful or not useful through Special:NewPages, you might be interested :). Over the last few months we've been developing the new Article Feedback Tool, which features a free text box. it is imperative that we work out in advance what proportion of feedback is useful or not so we can adjust the design accordingly and not overwhelm you with nonsense.

This is being done through the Feedback Evaluation System (FES), a tool that lets editors run through a stream of comments, selecting their value and viability, so we know what type of design should be promoted or avoided. We're about to start a new round of evaluations, beginning with an office hours session tomorrow at 18:00 UTC. If you'd like to help preemptively kill poor feedback, come along to #wikimedia-office and we'll show you how to use the tool. If you can't make it, send me an email at okeyes@wikimedia.org or drop a note on my talkpage, and I'm happy to give you a quick walkthrough in a one-on-one session :).

All the best, Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 21:39, 20 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

DJ King SamS

Please help me. I am new here and am trying to learn the ways. Left a note at Talk:DJ King SamS but by then my article was deleted.

My previous page was deleted because of lack of notability. This time there are quite a few new references and links.Please editors you got to guide me rather then just deleting my page. I have tried to contact User:Ron Ritzman (who had deleted my article before) but there is no response from him from almost more than 40 hrs. As I was not aware of the rules I just went ahead and published the page. My sincere apologies for doing so. Give me a chance please. Please do remove the articles for Speedy Deletion and tell me what exactly is wrong with it. Waiting for your quick response. (Tani12 (talk) 19:53, 23 March 2012 (UTC))[reply]

  • Waiting for your reply. My article just needed some notability which I think was very clear now. Please I do not understand why you put it up for speedy deletion. Now that it is deleted can you help me in any way, please? Did you read the points I put up on User talk:Tani12/DJ King SamS. Please do assist. —Preceding undated comment added 10:18, 24 March 2012 (UTC).
I didn't delete the article, it was deleted by an admin and has been undeleted as a draft in your user space. The basic problem is that there is not sufficient coverage in reliable sources to demonstrate notability per WP:BIO. Hope this helps.--ukexpat (talk) 14:33, 24 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello I've sent the requested evidence to the Permissions email address, which I hope will suffice. This consisted of an email from the principal heir and executrix of the William Newport Goodell estate, who is the copyright owner.

However, not sure what action I need to take regarding the following, as I thought I'd filled in all the rationales, etc.

"If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as

or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use." Ta. Montpelier31 (talk) 02:15, 26 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
