Thank you for your participation in the April 2010 GAN backlog elimination drive

GAN backlog elimination drives chart up to 1 May

On behalf of my co-coordinator Wizardman, I'd like to especially thank you for your efforts over this past month's GAN backlog elimination drive. It has been nothing short of a complete success, which hopefully results in more expedient good article reviews, increasing users' confidence in the good article nomination processes. Even if you made just a small contribution, it still helped contribute to the success of this drive. Here is what we have accomplished this last month in this drive.

  • 661 total nominations were reviewed. 541 of them passed (~81.8%), 97 (~14.7%) failed, and 23 (~3.5%) ended on hold.
  • The WP:GAN page started at 110,126 bytes length on 1 April and ended at 43,387 bytes length at the end of 30 April (a 66,739 byte reduction in the page, about 60.6% less).
  • Excluding extremes, the longest wait for someone's GAN to be review was about 11.5 weeks at the beginning. (I mistook the figure when I reported to the Signpost that it was 13.) At the end, with the exception of one that was relisted, the longest wait is now at 10 days.
  • 63 different users participated, each having completed at least one GAN, with others also having helped out behind-the-scenes in making the drive a success.
  • The drive started with 463 GA nominations remaining and 388 unreviewed. At the end of the month, we ended with 89 remaining (374 or about 80.8% less) and 47 unreviewed (341 or about 87.9% less).

For those who have accomplished certain objectives in the drive, awards will be coming shortly. Again, thank you for your help in the drive, and I hope you continue to help review GA nominations and overall improve the quality of articles here on Wikipedia.

Niagara Falls

Hi. I am a Wikipedia novice. I think you saw my suggestions for the Literature section of Niagara Falls page, and I think you responded "already done" yet the Literature section remains unchanged. Is there something more than I have to do? Thanks, Cathy —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.232.71.218 (talk) 16:56, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

Gloucester Road tube station GA

Hi. you started the GA review for Gloucester Road tube station on 30 April, but it still seems to be waiting for comments. Have these gone astray? --DavidCane (talk) 18:43, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

I do groups of edits. I was going to have some comments for you, but another GA took up my time. I will have comments for you tonight. -- /MWOAP|Notify Me\ 20:19, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

WP:ABUSE

I can submit a report to network operators, so long as no one is going to bite my head off for doing so. Is there some sort of template now for ARs? It's been a while since I've participated in the project at all due to controversy. PCHS-NJROTC (Messages) 00:49, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

We would love your help. You may want to restrict yourself to templates, and if needed, you can just ask us to respond to one of the emails. It's up to you. Hope to see ya around, let me know if you have questions. -- /MWOAP|Notify Me\ 01:05, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
I have a template that would likely be acceptable (adapted for the appropriate ISPs of course) at User:PCHS-NJROTC/HughesNet. I'll get right on those reports. PCHS-NJROTC (Messages) 01:19, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
Uhh...that doesn't mention the link to the report at all. Please use pre-approved ones for first communication. The whole process is here. -- /MWOAP|Notify Me\ 01:29, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
I like it. Those templates remind me a lot of the RIAA alerts, which is okay because most of abuse desks are probably familiar with those. PCHS-NJROTC (Messages) 01:52, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

Vandalism Defcon

Hi there, could you update the Defcon please?

I would but I do not have any roll back permisions

Thx - 193.61.111.53 (talk) 11:47, 7 May 2010 (UTC)

The defcon doesn't need to be updated all that often, and you only need to be autoconfirmed to update it. It's best to worry about writing rather than the vandalism level--we even disable in times of high vandalism. • ɔ ʃ → 15:21, 7 May 2010 (UTC)

Happy Feet 2

Can you unblock or ask someone to unblock Happy Feet 2, so I can add some new information and references to the page.--ShellyLover (talk) 00:08, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

I can't unprotect or protect pages, but I don't see any active editing restrictions on the article or your user. Are you editing not logged in? (aka using an IP address) -- /MWOAP|Notify Me\ 00:11, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

I'm a logged in user on wikipedia, I used to be a normal user.--ShellyLover (talk) 00:35, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

Oops...found the entry. "10:29, 17 January 2010 PMDrive1061 (talk | contribs) protected Happy Feet 2 [edit=autoconfirmed] (indefinite) [move=autoconfirmed] (indefinite) ‎ (Excessive vandalism: Bambifan101 target) (hist)" I will look into it. You could also use {{editsemiprotected}} until it is unprotected. -- /MWOAP|Notify Me\ 16:45, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
Unprotected By an admin. -- /MWOAP|Notify Me\ 20:11, 5 May 2010 (UTC)
FYI, Shelly is a sock of blocked editor User:Amryose16 - one of the two constant vandals responsible for it being protected in the first place. -- AnmaFinotera (talk · contribs) 01:32, 8 May 2010 (UTC)

Close Wikipedia:Mediation Cabal/Cases/2010-02-21/Clannad

Appreciate everything you've done but I don't have time to participate in the discussion any more and there doesn't seem to be any additional discussion so if you wish you can close Wikipedia:Mediation Cabal/Cases/2010-02-21/Clannad. Hopefully as no consensus? --Sin Harvest (talk) 13:29, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

 Done No problem. -- /MWOAP|Notify Me\ 18:57, 16 May 2010 (UTC)

Bot tests

Is it OK if you mark them declined submissions to clear out the category, or does the bot not recognize them for later? It seems it ought to be OK once they have already been moved. —fetch·comms 15:48, 20 May 2010 (UTC)

East Indians

Hi MWOAP, Please help me. Some person by the name of SpacemanSpiff is putting up 'Copyright Violation' on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_Indians without giving any useful explanation. I am new user to Wikipedia, please can you help. Is he talking about the like to a PDF file and that needs to be removed?

Your help is much appreciated.
