Meetup

[edit]

Hello. Nice meeting you on Saturday. If there's anything I can do to help here, let me know. Jonathunder (talk) 16:15, 21 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The last version of the deleted page DevSecOps (which I realize you can't see, but I can) is a pretty good start. Franky, I'm baffled as to why it was deleted. It has 11 inline citations to what appear to be reliable sources, and it doesn't appear to be promotional. I think I could move that to a sandbox and people can polish it up until it's ready to go live. (I'm really not a fan of the draft article purgatory, though it can be useful for holding back crap, which this is not.) Let me know if you want it in your sandbox or mine. Jonathunder (talk) 20:14, 21 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
That sounds as good as my draft. You can move it to mine if it looks better than my stub, though I'm not sure what the next steps are after that. Please outline them or link me to some, or I can probably figure it out once we're past the salting part. Thanks!! Kermit2 (talk) 20:24, 21 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Here you go: User:Kermit2/DevSecOps. I would suggest revising it to give context for a nonspecialist, like me. Perhaps more general sources might help. It also needs wikilinks to terms it mentions and some formatting to make it look like a Wikipedia article. Jonathunder (talk) 20:36, 21 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

As far as sources, you might start here. I don't know enough about the subject matter to select sources, but I can definitely help format things if you need it. Jonathunder (talk) 20:52, 21 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
As far as the process, I think the least frustrating path will be to make the draft really good, so that it would be crazy to delete it, and then we can break some rules. Jonathunder (talk) 22:59, 21 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I consolidated my draft with the one you moved into my sandbox and removed a lot of references to devsecops.org which is probably what made people think it was promotional. I was originally just trying to get a stub out, like when I started https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=OpenHPC&oldid=802703705 which has now been expanded on by various editors to everyone's benefit so I wasn't expecting a lot of resistance as I encountered none there. Please let me know if there's anything else we need to allow people to contribute. Once in the main space I'll get some links in to it from pages where appropriate.

User:Kermit2/DevSecOps is now a decent start but needs more content. I've started things in article space with much less, and normally would move this there at this stage, but since it was deleted before I think it should be developed more first so there's less risk of it being deleted again. Is more of the content in the old article usable? Jonathunder (talk) 16:30, 4 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Do you have access to this paper? Jonathunder (talk) 17:36, 4 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I do not have access to that paper. I will add more content. Kermit2 (talk) 02:03, 5 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

RE: Email

[edit]

Hey. In answer to your question: I used my sysop magic. Regards, El_C 00:53, 9 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, cool. If you scroll up on this page you can see some chat about it. i even went to a Wikipedia meetup to try to get it unblocked. This is the draft I had User:Kermit2/DevSecOps. Do you think I should move it to the page you just unblocked? Kermit2 (talk)
Oh, wow. I'm sorry, but this isn't a subject with which I am familiar. Probably best to gauge folks at Talk:DevOps before doing anything, though. El_C 01:56, 9 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Kermit2, let me try to explain better. I considered leaving the protection for the redirect at admin level instead of WP:ECP, with a note telling users to get a WP:DRAFT approved first, but in the end judged that to be a bit heavy handed. Anyway, so a draft could be an option, though, again, getting the feel of the room at Talk:DevOps first would be the intuitive thing to start with. HTH! El_C 11:37, 9 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
