Wikidata help[edit]Hi Hahc21, I was just reading your user page and noticed that you are an administrator on Wikidata. By coincidence, earlier today I had this query on my talk page; I wasn't really much help with it because Wikidata is not a place where am I active. Would you mind taking a look to see if you could help at all, please? I would greatly appreciate anything you can do. Thank you. Acalamari 17:32, 4 January 2014 (UTC)

Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Thirty Flights of Loving, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Edge (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

I've edited as an IP off/on for a few years so I'm familiar with some policies but really don't understand how the full process works. In the Argentine history case, User:Cambalachero was topic banned in part for POV pushing, see Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Argentine History/Proposed decision#Cambalachero: POV-pushing. I have seen some of his edits at David Jewett and was in the process of removing them. As in the Argentine history case it appears to be dubiously sourced material that is contradicted by most of the other sources I found. I am finding that User:Langus-TxT is simply reverting my changes, citing WP:BRD and accusing me of British POV pushing. In the same aricle, both editors were previously co-operating in POV pushing to remove material they thought was detrimental to Argentina's sovereignty claim to the Falkland Islands, see Talk:David Jewett#Privateer and Pirate. Is it permissible for Langus-TxT to edit to keep dubiously sourced material introduced by a topic banned editor in an article forever? BedsBookworm (talk) 13:35, 18 January 2014 (UTC)

Thank you for your comments on the 4 FAC, however, a moderator has now asked that they are to be elaborated on as to why they specifically meet the FA criteria as the chances of it being promoted are otherwise poor. If you can, I'd appreciate it greatly! Thanks! —JennKR | ☎ 02:01, 19 January 2014 (UTC) Hi Hahc- I have a few additional wikis I'd like to add to this UTC. The first and original three FP were nominated by others. I wanted to see how far I could go and in the process had some very interesting cross-cultural experiences. Only including formal FP processes (not including voting for local wiki POTD): English, Persian, and Arabic. To this is added the following wikipedias:Commons Hebrew, German, Japanese, Spanish, Turkish, Thai, Azerbaijani, and last but by no means least Polish. Though I’m not sure how one or two of them worked, and one has I believe since closed, this totals 12. A very interesting learning experience… - Godot13 (talk) 07:58, 19 January 2014 (UTC) The Signpost: 15 January 2014[edit]
This week's article for improvement[edit]
You were supportive of the idea that Jehochman proposed: "A message is most effective when it matches the format of the media. We're an encyclopedia. On Feb 11, I suggest we fill our front page with articles, blurbs and news about mass spying and privacy. That will send a strong message, and help educate people. It's sort of like what we do on April 1, except serious instead of foolish." Since this proposal received so much support, I and several others have done our best to begin the process of implementation. That said, the proposal is very controversial with Main Page insiders who have, understandably, objections that boil down to WP:NOTADVOCATE. It's valuable to have feedback from people who oppose any deviation from the status quo, but we really need feedback from people who understood Jehochman idea, supported it, and could tell us whether we're succeeding in "implementing the vision" that Jehochman laid out and how to improve the proposal. If you have the time, would you lend your view over at Wikipedia:Surveillance awareness day. If you want to see a list of custom content that could be available, we have a Arbitrary mockup #2, that shows lots of proposed content on one page. Your feedback is most appreciated. --HectorMoffet (talk) 09:56, 20 January 2014 (UTC) Please comment on Template talk:POV[edit]Greetings!

Please note the edit sumary as it indicates that he was unvoting, but had not yet struck or come up with a new solution. As I'm a party to the case, I'm not allowed to revert, therefore I request that you undo the change. Hasteur (talk) 01:05, 23 January 2014 (UTC)

RFA Comments[edit]No, as you know I am an advocate for the tools being easier to get and easier to take away as well as breaking them out into modules and limiting how long someone is an admin before they have to reapply (I favor 3 years). That's not going to happen though. No one wants it and the admins (not all but the majority of the ones in "power") on this site want it to be as hard as possible to attain so they can kep their leverage over the rest of the editors in the site that have devoted time and effort to it but don't have a clue and are just second class citizens. For what its worth I am sure my vote will be ignored, ridiculed and will have no effect on the outcome of the RFA. But that's life. Kumioko (talk) 19:38, 27 January 2014 (UTC)

The is the largest number of participants we have seen since 2010. If you are yet to join the competition, don't worry- the judges have agreed to keep the signups open for a few more days. By a wide margin, our current leader is newcomer
Featured articles, featured lists, featured topics and featured portals are yet to play a part in the competition. The judges have removed a number of submissions which were deemed ineligible. Typically, we aim to see work on a project, followed by a nomination, followed by promotion, this year. We apologise for any disappointment caused by our strict enforcement this year; we're aiming to keep the competition as fair as possible. Wikipedians interested in friendly competition may be interested to take part in The Core Contest; unlike the WikiCup, The Core Contest is not about audited content, but, like the WikiCup, it is about article improvement; specifically, The Core Contest is about contribution to some of Wikipedia's most important article. Of course, any work done for The Core Contest, if it leads to a DYK, GA or FA, can earn WikiCup points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to help keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

Reply[edit]I asked you a question a couple of weeks ago. In response, you asked me why I mentioned the topic ban? I followed the edit back to Cambalachero and was going to ask him why he made that particular claim when all of the other sources refer to a license granted by José Rondeau. At that point I discovered he was topic banned for using POV sources. I was simply asking for advice as I said, it seemed odd for another editor to constantly revert to restore information that contradicted the prevailing information in the literature. I could have given examples I suppose, I'll take that as advice for the next time. I edited as an IP for ages but kept finding I was blocked. I usually log in via the school learning platform even at home and my IP was blocked by a range block against Bedfordshire schools. As an IP you learn about some aspects of policy but I'm finding it very different as a named account. There is a lot I simply don't know about and the way Arbcom works is one of them. Hence, I was simply asking how it worked nothing more.

Reviewer says the article may not be stable enough, because there is an ongoing discussion about how to handle pricing information I allege is outdated, but for which no new independent, reliable sources have published (a verification not truth-type thing). I suggested we merely modify the pricing info so it is put into more of a historical, date-stamped type of reference, waiting for new sources to come out and there seems to be support to do something kind of ish like that. I haven't found anyone willing to review the discussion, assess consensus, and make an edit and I'm sorta waiting on it before the next round of the review.

Condescension[edit]Thank you for choosing to address me in such a condescending tone - I can assure you I am fully capable of understanding what "archiving" is as I have an excellent grasp of the English language. I am also more than capable of determining when the use of the word "killing" is used inappropriately and in a distasteful manner.

March 2014 GAN Backlog Drive[edit]It's that time again! Starting on March 1, there will be another GAN Backlog Drive! There will be several changes compared to previous drives:
Also, something that I thought I would share with all of you is that we raised $20.88 (USD) for the WMF in the December 2013 drive. It may not sound like a lot but considering that that was raised just because we reviewed articles, I would say that's pretty good! With that success, pledges can be made for the upcoming drive if you wish. More info regarding the drive and full descriptions regarding the changes to this drive can be found on the the drive page. If you have any questions, feel free to leave a message on the drive talk page. I look forward to your participation and hope that because of it, some day the backlog will be gone! --Dom497 --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 00:58, 22 February 2014 (UTC) |
