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!

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)[reply]

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.

The IPL WikiProject • Discussion

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

DYK

After I am done my exam today, I will look it over. If someone else takes it over, they can. I dont have any issue with it :D Khyati Gupta (talk) 09:37, 18 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I added suggestions, please see. Thank you. Khyati Gupta (talk) 22:08, 18 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Are you following WP:WIADYK, or your own criteria? I don't see anything there about copyedits, and I've never came across something the scale of your request to me. I've came across copyediting suggestions before, but these only required about a couple of words changing. If you could write more than just "reword it", I would try my best. Thanks! Thine Antique Pen 22:15, 18 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Problems solved

Instead of notifying in your alternative user talk page I preferred to come here. I would like to thank you for pointing out the problems with Nawabs of Bengal and Murshidabad and at the same would like to notify you that the problems you mentioned here have been solved. Waiting eagerly for a reply! --Tamravidhir(২০১২) 14:34, 18 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

If replying then please reply at my talk page. Thank you!

Please do not stop reviewing Nawabs of Bengal and Murshidabad. Is it a GA or not? Please reply at my talk page or address here Tamravidhir(২০১২) 10:30, 20 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
If you are on a holiday or if you are taking a Wikibreak then please tell me whether it will become a GA or not, if so then when? Tamravidhir(২০১২) 10:36, 20 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Passed. Thine Antique Pen 11:20, 20 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Re Template:Did you know nominations/Ontario Highway 22, please see my statement and attempt to resolve the issue that I raised. Note that I don't have regular Internet access, so I may be unable to respond before your bedtime tomorrow; if you reply and I don't respond for more than a day or two, please remind me at my talk page. Nyttend (talk) 03:51, 20 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
