Invitation to subscribe to the edit filter mailing list

Hi, as a user in the edit filter manager user group we wanted to let you know about the new wikipedia-en-editfilters mailing list. As part of our recent efforts to improve the use of edit filters on the English Wikipedia it has been established as a venue for internal discussion by edit filter managers regarding private filters (those only viewable by administrators and edit filter managers) and also as a means by which non-admins can ask questions about hidden filters that wouldn't be appropriate to discuss on-wiki. As an edit filter manager we encourage you to subscribe; the more users we have in the mailing list the more useful it will be to the community. If you subscribe we will send a short email to you through Wikipedia to confirm your subscription, but let us know if you'd prefer another method of verification. I'd also like to take the opportunity to invite you to contribute to the proposed guideline for edit filter use at WP:Edit filter/Draft and the associated talk page. Thank you!

Please Help. Cooper Union financial crisis and tuition protests

On November 17, 2013, User:Beyond My Ken first began editing this article. He arrives declaring "scandal" is too harsh a word for a Jamshed Bharucha administration riled in controversy. Not only does he change the title of the article, but after changing the article puts a npov tag on it claiming it only shows the POV of the protestors en route to 23 changes that day (with no effort to work to remove the tag himself). Meanwhile Robert Bernhard's story is effectively buried. As chairman / chairman "emeritus" since 1995, Bernhard was the primary person in charge of finance when the operating deficit (aka "financial crisis") first manifested in 1995 (per downloadable content presented by consultants to Chairman Richard Lincer).

After 11 more contentious edits by bmk, I first edited the page, adding sources on 3 April 2014, which prompted even bmk to admit that the article became more neutral. Following this, I added a section "CU Administration Views" with many quotes from high ranking admins. Even bmk agreed this was appropriate.

Despite 26 more edits from bmk, I'm the one who had to add (on July 24) to this section that 5 trustees, including former chairman epstein, vice chairman de menil & president bharucha, resigned.

When I next checked the article, bmk was engaged in an edit war with User:jm3. Since bmk insisted on citing "diverseeducation.com" and only "diverseeducation.com", I sided with jm3, who wanted a more complete picture of what was happening (though even jm3's version lacked several key provisions of the Attorney General settlement and still neglected to mention Robert Bernhard). I made a revert from bmk to jm3. When bmk reverted both myself and jm3, I warned him on his talk page that he was engaged in disruptive editing and an edit war. Then I was banned for .. making 2 appropriate changes to the main page of CUfcatp (that's the only main page I edited).

Obviously bmk is an admin sockpuppet given he has committed a litany of bannable offenses at this page and receives a free pass & protection when he does so. I'm perfectly willing to step away from the main article as long as "ignore all rules" bmk does the same.

Thanks

Please sign new Wikimedia confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information by 15 December

This is a message from the Wikimedia Foundation. Translations are available.

As you may know, the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees approved a new "Access to nonpublic information policy" on 25 April 2014 after a community consultation. The former policy has remained in place until the new policy could be implemented. That implementation work is now being done, and we are beginning the transition to the new policy.

An important part of that transition is helping volunteers like you sign the required confidentiality agreement. All Wikimedia volunteers with access to nonpublic information are required to sign this new agreement, and we have prepared some documentation to help you do so.

The Wikimedia Foundation is requiring that anyone with access to nonpublic information sign the new confidentiality agreement by 15 December 2015 (OTRS users have until 22 December 2015) to retain their access. You are receiving this email because you have access to nonpublic information and are required to sign the confidentiality agreement under the new policy.

Signing the confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information is conducted and tracked using Legalpad on Phabricator. The general confidentiality agreement is now ready, and the OTRS agreement will be ready after 22 September 2015. We have prepared a guide on Meta-Wiki to help you create your Phabricator account and sign the new agreement: Confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information/How to sign

If you have any questions or experience any problems while signing the new agreement, please visit this talk page or email me (gvarnumwikimedia.org). Again, please sign this confidentiality agreement by 15 December 2015 (OTRS users have until 22 December 2015) to retain your access to nonpublic information. If you do not wish to retain this access, please let me know and we will forward your request to the appropriate individuals.

Thank you,
Gregory Varnum (User:GVarnum-WMF), Wikimedia Foundation
