Hello. Is your viewpoint about coloring in this list final? Are you certain you do not want coloring on this list? Since we may come to a close of consensus soon, or perhaps ask Hollywood-list editors to share their views, I suggest you read through the entire consensus section which showcases both viewpoints, and then add your final decision under Support/Oppose section. The former if you do not want coloring, the latter if you do. Thanks.

The user must have a sockpuppet category. This requirement is to ensure that only abusive users are listed at long-term abuse, since a sockpuppet category shows that the user has abused multiple accounts.
The user must have at least one blocked account. This shows that the user has indeed disrupted Wikipedia.
The abuse must have continued over at least a duration of six months. This shows that the user was abusive over a long duration of time.

Hi Ebe123, I've just closed the Poppy Meadow GA reassessment as "keep". The article was close to being GA standard when nominated but it had a number of problems with the prose that needed to be addressed. I noticed that you are taking part in the GA backlog elimination drive. That's great, hopefully we can make a big dent in the backlog. Please just try to be a bit more thorough when checking articles against the good article criteria. Also, when you do finish reviews on articles that pass, don't forget to list them at WP:GA. --BelovedFreak16:58, 1 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2011-12-01T16:58:00.000Z","author":"Belovedfreak","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Belovedfreak-2011-12-01T16:58:00.000Z-GA_reviews","replies":[],"displayName":"Beloved"}}-->

Well...the user was actually me; I made a test account, so I could see how the 'feedback' thing appeared to a new user. But I don't understand why you did what you did; all the "new user" did was, to write 'test' on their own user talk page. And you removed your own CSD-tag, but left 'them' a deletion notice - which would've been very confusing, and not very nice, for a new user.
G2 does not apply to userspace pages.
In that specific case, as I said, it doesn't matter - but if it had been a genuine new user, it would've been WP:BITE.

Well, if it was a genuine new editor, they would not reply to themselves. A test page does apply to userspace and is sometimes demostrated on WP:MfD. You should of explicitly stated that it was yours anyway.

Being now the new fellow in the fraternity of administrators, I will do my best to live up to the confidence shown in me by others, will move slowly and carefully when using the mop, will seek input from others before any action of which I might be unsure, and will try not to break anything beyond repair.

Start a discussion for others to know, like WP:AN/I. So they can't block you, as they do not have the technical ability (neither do I).

Madam Seeta, I will pull up 20 references of uncivil and abusive behavior, as well as discussion which is totally irrelevant to the ongoing consensus, that will forever shut your mouth and banish you from here.

Hello Ebe123, you recently requested on the WikiProject Judaism Assessment page that the Tay–Sachs disease article be assessed. Right now the article is rated A by WikiProject Judaism and B by the three other WikiProjects thzt the article belongs to. To clarify, are you asking that the article be demoted or raised to higher status? If you are requesting a raise then in order to obtain GA status for the article please see here. if you were in fact asking for the article to be demoted just let me know and I apologize if you already know all this stuff.

So here's where the coordinators' main job begins. You will go over each review and check against the good article criteria (having the criteria and review page in 2 different browser tabs is very useful). To coordinate effort and avoid duplication (plus letting the participants know our progress), mark review status with {{in progress}} or {{done}} in front of the user's name like this. Use asterisk (*) to mark questionable reviews and we'll examine the matter more closely.

Hi Ebe,
For the first time since I had the desire to contribute to Wikipedia/Wikimedia have I run into something that does not make me feel completely lost and inadequate and alienated. Congratulations!
Also thanks to my son, who has had to bear the burden of my frequent How do Is, and who has just pointed me at Adopt-a-user; which is where I picked you - lucky you!
We might go a long way together if you have patience.
I'm an editor that likes to help others, and getting wikipedia an even better place. is what caught my eye.
I am very active in Distributed Proofreaders, and I am very pleased at the contribution I make there. My particular field of interest is in mentoring beginner proofreaders to get them up to speed. So I feel that I have a fair idea what I am talking about when I experience Wikipedia so very different from Distributed Proofreaders.
I will quote a few bits from today's emails to my son to give you a flavour of my feelings. Please don't respond to every point; I only want to give you a feeling of my frustrations.
In chronological order, addressed to my son:
=========
This is my first attempt at mastering uploading of pictures. I could not
easily distinguish between wikimedia and wikipedia. It is VERY hard to
figure out what to do when.
=========
I had gone to a talk page of someone who left something for me:
From the comments of the other users on the same page - things are
designed for those that <know>. If you <don't know>, God help you. I (and
maybe others) certainly don't have the time (or geeky habits) to sit for
hours trying all sorts of stuff until I accidentally hit on the magic
buttons.
Whenever I want to contribute to W I feel a sinking feeling, because I know
I won't do a good job, and it won't be easy to find out what a good job is.
If it weren't for the fact that I could ask you for help (as I've done so
often) I would have thrown in the towel long ago.
=========
The wikipedia/wikimedia pages are information-dense and very busy and
disorganised. Some of the worst site layouts I've come across simply
because, surely if they can't get it right, who can? Have they no good
website designers?
If the first page (the only first page) for contributors, gave prominence to these choices:
Are you a brand-new contributor needing full-on help?
Would you like to figure things out yourself for fun?
Are you an experienced wikipedia/wikimedia man?
It might be a good start.
=========
I have thought a bit, and the problem of poor website layout/design is simply a manifestation of some very muddled thinking about the whole site and probably its philosophies.
For a start, never have I seen an obvious link for raw beginners that said: what is a wiki and how does it work?
The prime assumption must not be (as it clearly is at the moment) Let's deal (only) with the people who know what's going on.
Since W want a resource that is accessible to all (they're pretty much OK there) that can be built by anybody, they have to work a whole lot more on the second part. It is simply not user-friendly. When I ask xxx, who's right next to me, a question, and he is lost, and I have to mail you, that is a clear thumbs-down.
=========
I have two general thoughts:
It is a huge impediment to learning anything new if you think you already know it.
This is a problem that has a solution. The only thing is to find that solution.
=========
Someone once said of educational institutions: A varied faculty is best for
teaching.
I get the strong feeling that W is staffed by geeks who can't seem to figure
out that geeks make up only a small percentage of human beings, and they
might be side-lining a huge and valuable resource.
=========
After I got the link to Adopt-a-user
=========
Now this is VERY GOOD.
How did I miss the huge link on the main page that would have taken me here
straightaway?
=========
And finally, my son said this to me:
I think you (as a savvy potential contributor who's put off by the website) would be very valuable
Thanks for your attention.

Regarding the policy on Wikipedia, I believe that there is not much difference between the English Wikipedia and the Portuguese version. The biggest problem for me is that the tools are completely different. At first, I would be delighted to have access to the deletion policy, of elimination, and how I can use all the basic editing tools availables, which are numerous.

Hi. If you mark your transfers as reviewed they will end up in a category under Category:Wikipedia files reviewed on Wikimedia Commons. That could perhaps make deletions go faster since admins need to check less when files have allready been checked by a user who knows how to move files to Commons. Perhaps the bot/script/tool can add the review for you?--MGA73 (talk) 08:31, 12 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2012-01-12T08:31:00.000Z","author":"MGA73","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-MGA73-2012-01-12T08:31:00.000Z-Marking_files_as_reviewed","replies":[]}}-->

Hi WP:UWTEST member, we wanted to share a quick update on the status of the project. Here's the skinny:
We're happy to say we have a new round of testing results available! Since there are tests on several Wikipedias, we're collecting all results at the project page on Meta. We've also now got some help from Wikimedia Foundation data analyst Ryan Faulkner, and should have more test results in the coming weeks.
Last but not least, check out the four tests currently running at the documentation page.
Thanks for your interest, and don't hesitate to drop by the talk page if you have a suggestion or question.

I saw you listed on MetaWiki under Category:Translators eng-fra. An editor made a corrective edit a few days ago at fr:Philippe Kahn to correct the birth year to 1952, but there are no refs for it. Could you possibly add some refs to it? It appears that one vandalism edit changing Kahn's birth year from 1952 to 1962 on en-wiki 2½ years ago has snowballed. We just recently seem to have fixed it on en-wiki. The original change from 1952 to 1962 on English Wikipedia was in the only edit ever made on Wikipedia by IP 195.3.166.104 with this edit on 8 July 2009: [7] with an edit summary of "Typo correction". It's quite possible that this was sneaky vandalism. A year later, it looks like it was changed from 1952 to 1962 on French Wikipedia by editor Philippe.petrinko on 25 july 2010 at 16:14 with this edit: [8], when he added an infobox. It's possible he made the date change after viewing the article on English Wikipedia. It didn't help that User:HuskyMoon has edit-warred to keep it at 1962 on en-wiki. See: Talk:Philippe Kahn#Birthdate is 1952 (or 1962?) and now answers.com and Google have picked up on the erroneous 1962 date, both citing Wikipedia. These are the current refs on the en-wiki article: [1][2][3] and this one was edit-warred out: [9] at some point. Pick the ones you want to use — maybe the New York Times and Wired are the most authoritative. Thanks.

You seem to be involved, and also, this isn't a "translation", but just some ref adding. The birthdate is disputed, so I'll rather not get involved in that.

Thanks for mentioning 'this isn't a "translation", but just some ref adding'.

I thought you might want to know about some upcoming events where you can learn more about MediaWiki customization and development, extending functionality with JavaScript, the future of ResourceLoader and Gadgets, the new Lua templating system, how to best use the web API for bots, and various upcoming features and changes. We'd love to have power users, bot maintainers and writers, and template makers at these events so we can all learn from each other and chat about what needs doing.
Best wishes!

The Guild of Copy Editors invites you to participate in their March 2012 Backlog elimination drive, a month-long effort to reduce the size of the copy edit backlog. The drive begins on March 1 at 00:00 (UTC) and ends on March 31 at 23:59 (UTC). Our goal for the drive will be to eliminate the remaining 2010 articles from the queue. Barnstars will be awarded to anyone who copy edits more than 4,000 words, and special awards will be given to the top 5 in the following categories: "Number of articles", "Number of words", and "Number of articles of over 5,000 words". We hope to see you there! – Your drive coordinators: Dank, Diannaa, Stfg, and Coordinator emeritus SMasters. 19:34, 20 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2012-02-20T19:34:00.000Z","author":"SMasters","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-SMasters-2012-02-20T19:34:00.000Z-GOCE_March_copy_edit_drive","replies":[]}}-->

Participation:
We have had 58 people sign up for this drive so far, which compares favorably with our last drive, and 27 have copy-edited at least one article. If you have signed up but have not yet copy-edited any articles, please consider doing so. Every bit helps! If you haven't signed up yet, it's not too late. Join us!
Progress report:
Our target of completing the 2010 articles has almost been reached, with only 56 remaining of the 194 we had at the start of the drive. The last ones are always the most difficult, so thank you if you are able to help copy-edit any of the remaining articles. We have reduced the total backlog by 163 articles so far.
Special thanks:
Special thanks to Stfg, who has been going through the backlog and doing some preliminary vetting of the articles—removing copyright violations, doing initial clean-up, and nominating some for deletion. This work has helped make the drive a more pleasant experience for all our volunteers.
I closed WP:Articles for deletion/Cliché Hot as SOFTDELETE because of limited participation; restoration has now been requested on my talk page, so I have restored it and pointed the (newbie) requester to WP:N and WP:NALBUMS to show what is needed.

Of the 70 people who signed up for this drive, 40 copy-edited at least one article. Thanks to all who participated! Special acknowledgement goes out to Lfstevens, who did over 200 articles, most of them in the last third of the drive, and topped all three leaderboard categories. You're a superstar! Stfg and others have been pre-checking the articles for quality and conformance to Wikipedia guidelines; some have been nominated for deletion or had some preliminary clean-up done to help make the copy-edit process more fun and appealing. Thanks to all who helped get those nasty last few articles out of the target months.
Progress report
During this drive we were successful in eliminating our target months—October, November, and December 2010—from the queue, and have now eliminated all the 2010 articles from our list. We were able to complete 500 articles this month! End-of-drive results and barnstar information can be found here.
When working on the backlog, please keep in mind that there are options other than copy-editing available; some articles may be candidates for deletion, or may not be suitable for copy-editing at this time for other reasons. The {{GOCEreviewed}} tag can be placed on any article you find to be totally uneditable, and you can nominate for deletion any that you discover to be copyright violations or completely unintelligible. If you need help deciding what to do, please contact any of the coordinators.
Thank you for participating in the March 2012 drive! All contributions are appreciated. Our next copy-edit drive will be in May.

Wikipedia's list of user scripts is in bad shape, in that it is disorganized and contains many non-working, unmaintained, or thoroughly obsolete entries. Cleanup has been on the to-do list since 2007, but little progress has been made. Instead, the whole list is now set to be deprecated on 1 May 2012, to be replaced with a new list. This draft list has been up for about a month, and in that time I've been soliciting script users and authors to come add scripts they know to be working and relevant.
If you know of scripts that you would like to survive this deprecation (and are confirmed working and relevant), you're welcome to add them to the new list. Note that the old list will be retained and linked from the main list, so there is no real deadline. Thanks for your help. Equazcion(talk) 00:56, 22 Apr 2012 (UTC)

The Guild of Copy Editors invites you to participate in their May 2012 Backlog elimination drive, a month-long effort to reduce the size of the copy edit backlog. The drive begins on May 1 at 00:00 (UTC) and ends on May 31 at 23:59 (UTC). Our goal for the drive will be to eliminate January, February, and March 2011 from the queue. Barnstars will be awarded to anyone who copy edits more than 4,000 words, and special awards will be given to the top 5 in the following categories: "Number of articles", "Number of words", and "Number of articles of over 5,000 words". We hope to see you there! – Your drive coordinators: Dank, Diannaa, and Stfg.

Thank you for participating in the January 2012 MTC Drive. The drive was a big success. As a result of the drive thousands of files was transferred and many files was nominated for deletion because of copyright issues or because they were not usable. For your big work transferring files to Commons you are hereby awarded this barnstar.

Hey Ebe123/Archives/Archive 5; just a quick note to let you know that we'll be holding an Office Hours session at 18:00 UTC (don't worry, I got the time right ;p) on 4th May in #wikimedia-office.

And finally... as you would have finished on the leaderboard for the January 2012 MTC Drive with more than 260 transfers (if we correct for transfers made by others that were not checked properly), you have well and truly earned the Transfer to Commons Drive Leaderboard Barnstar.

Participation: Out of 49 people signed up for this drive so far, 26 have copy-edited at least one article. It's a smaller group than last drive, but we're making good progress. If you've signed up but haven't yet copy-edited any articles, please consider doing so. Every bit helps! If you haven't signed up yet, it's not too late. Join us!
Progress report: We're on track to meet our targets for the drive, largely due to the efforts of Lfstevens and the others on the leaderboard. Thanks to all. We have reduced our target group of articles—January, February, and March 2011—by over half, and it looks like we will achieve that goal. Good progress is being made on the overall backlog as well, with over 500 articles copy-edited during the drive so far. The total backlog currently sits at around 3200 articles.
Hall of Fame: GOCE coordinator Diannaa was awarded a spot in the GOCE Hall of Fame this month! She has copy-edited over 1567 articles during these drives, and surpassed the 1,000,000-word mark on May 5. On to the second million! – Your drive coordinators: Dank, Diannaa and Stfg

Participation: Out of 54 people who signed up this drive, 32 copy-edited at least one article. Last drive's superstar, Lfstevens, again stood out, topping the leader board in all three categories and copy-editing over 700 articles. Thanks to all who participated! Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here.
Progress report: We were once again successful in our primary goal—removing the oldest three months from the backlog—while removing 1166 articles from the queue, the second-most in our history. The total backlog currently sits at around 2600 articles, down from 8323 when we started out just over two years ago.
Coodinator election: The six-month term for our third tranche of Guild coordinators will be expiring at the end of June. We will be accepting nominations for the fourth tranche of coordinators, who will also serve a six-month term. Nominations will open starting on June 5.

I need to report another user for attempting to intimidate me by violating my privacy by calling out personal details about my location on my user talk page. His user name is Hasteur. Can you please direct me to the right place?
Since the editor is screaming privacy abuse I'll respond. I did a GeoLocate on the address (which is public information as they're an IP editor) and tried to respond back in a manner to give a less "Copy-Pasted" robo response. Based on the post they made on my talk page I feel fairly confident that this is a SPA and therefore their claims of abuse should be weighed against the abuse that they dished out first.

What do you think about beginning to translate content into French? We would only translate the ones that could use improvement though. You could than either replace what is there or merge it with the existing content which is of high quality. Let me know what you think.

Hi! I'm contacting you because you have participated or discussed The Wikipedia Adventure learning tutorial/game idea. I think you should know about a current Community Fellowship proposal to create the game with some Wikimedia Foundation support. Your feedback on the proposal would be very much appreciated. I should note that the feedback is for the proposal, not the proposer, and even if the Fellowship goes forward it might be undertaken by presently not-mentioned editors. Thanks again for your consideration.

Participation: Out of 45 people who signed up this drive, 31 have copy-edited at least one article. Lfstevens continues to carry most of the weight, having edited 360 articles and over a quarter of a million words already. Thanks to all who have participated! Final results, including barnstars awarded, will be available early in August here.
Progress report: We are once again very close to achieving in our primary goal—removing the oldest three months from the backlog. Only 35 such articles remain at press time. The total backlog currently sits at under 2400 articles, down from 8323 when we started out over two years ago. We are just two articles away from completing all requests made before July 2012 (both are in progress).
Copy Edit of the Month: Starting in August, you'll be able to submit your best copy-editing work for palaver, praise, and prizes. See here for details. – Your drive coordinators: Stfg, Allens, and Torchiest.

Greetings, Ebe123! As per your request at the reward board I've been working on making the red-linked pages at List of extremely hazardous substances. I regret that there are still red-links in the list, even now that the request has expired, but I still intend to make more of them whenever I can, till they're done. Since in the "Limit on rewards", you said "One barnstar per article/user", do I still qualify? Like my singing? Ha-la-la-la-la-la-LA-LAAA!!!

While the user rights issue is important, I have no complaints with what you said to Explorationofspace.

It's fine, but it is showing me that I closed the request well, and thus shouldn't of got a discussion about it.
I know what I'm doing for everything except for the things of which I don't know what I'm doing.

I don't mind if you want to delete what Drmies and I said in the discussion section if you feel that's appropriate. I'm sure Drmies already got a chance to see it anyway.
Again, I'm really really sorry about that... I saw the notice, but since Drmies is an admin, I felt it was all right if he wrote it there and I responded.

It's there, I won't delete it. That he is an admin is irrelevant, if a normal editor did the same thing, I would expect you to do the same thing. Drmies actually was not supposed to write there even though he's an admin.

I understand that now. I've never been to dispute resolution before, so I thought maybe what he did was within the boundaries of a particular rule I didn't know about.

Hello Ebe123. I happened to see your June 2011 edit to this template. In my opinion, the section you added is not helpful, because the 1RR is considered to be sufficiently announced by the template itself. The section you added hints that editors won't be blocked for a first-time violation of the 1RR. Your addition states, "Those editors who violate the ruling, but are unaware of it, will be informed of the details before any sanctions are invoked." We do routinely enforce the 1RR restriction even on first-time editors. As it says in the main template, "Editors who violate this 1RR restriction may be blocked without warning by any uninvolved administrator, even on a first offense." Would you object if I undo your change?

As we put together teams for translation into major languages we are going to need to know which articles should be translated from English and which articles are already good in the target language and thus do not need translation. As a Wikipedian can you update the table for your language with these tags: To translate and No translation. Many thanks.

Hey there! Sorry about the bot troubles earlier. It's still in pretty active development for now so there will be (hopefully occasional) issues like this for a bit as I change things. I just wanted to clear up any confusion you may have had:
I switched the case IDs around because I was sorting out the database after fixing a bug. It shouldn't be something I'll need to do again, but for what it's worth, those are probably not things other people should be changing.
My understanding from Steven is that we keep cases in the "review" state if they're open for over four days regardless of their activity. This is the rule that the bot will follow. As a volunteer, you're allowed to do things differently if necessary (so you can set a case from "review" to "open"). I've tightened up the bot's logic so that it will ignore any case that goes from review to open until someone manually changes the status (say, to resolved or closed).
Thanks. My talk page is always open if you have questions. — Earwigtalk 23:01, 2 August 2012 (UTC)

I'm very confused why my DRN on the Burgas bus bombing was archived. I've been away since last night, so maybe I missed something, but the archive doesn't show any result or further discussion for my DRN. It could be just a mistake, in which case it should be moved back. I'm really hoping for it to be resolved, so I'm confused why it would be archived without any response.
Thanks.

At Wikipedia:Dispute resolution noticeboard#Nair you wrote "The page does not exist", but Nair does exist. Given the nature of the complaint, I would advise keeping it closed with a reason of "Not a dispute about specific article content".
BTW, you are doing a great job at DRN.

I do not think "The Nair community page in WIKIPEDIA is an afront to the community and is a disgraceful attempt to show the community in poor light. I do not think that any other community page in WIKIPEDIA has been twisted this way to malign, ridicule and spread negativism. The whole information given is fabricated and an insult to the Nair community who are known to have a glorious past and present. I would like to register a protest in the strongest terms against the perpetrators of this evil design and request those who have the know how to intervene. This will go a longway in restoring the credibility of WIKIPEDIA as a source of authentic information. It should not be left to independant editors to re write or write there own versions of history in order to hurt and mutilate community's psyche which seems to be the very purpose of writing such nonsense. Behind their scholarly garbs lies very vicious and venomous commulalist ideology and thinking.Beware!"

Agree that it's not a dispute, but the closing comment should match the entry.

I think the bot made another mistake and archived the Burgas discussion before it was closed or a decision was made. I'd give a link to it but Wikipedia seems to be malfunctioning right now, and the screen is all messed up. It's in the very last archive.

Hi Ebe123, you wrote "There is a ArbCom request for Youreallycan, so this should be referred there." I'm not familiar with ArbCom. I read everything on Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee and I don't understand how this relates to the DRN you closed. Where can I find the ArbCom request for YRC? How is the ArbCom request related to the DRN? Is the ArbCom going to make a decision related to YRC, and how is that going to affect the DRN?

Arbcom can make decisions on it, and here's the link Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case#Youreallycan. The DRN and ArbCom are both to resolve disputes, but arbcom does it by making binding desisions, while DRN makes consensus finding easier.

You may misunderstand Arbcom; they action on long term conduct issues and explicitly do not address content problems. So any content discussions should be resolved in the relevant forums. If there is a user conduct issue associated with the content dispute then this might be relevant to any arbcom case - but addressing the content issue should take priority. --Errant(chat!)18:39, 12 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2012-08-12T18:39:00.000Z","author":"ErrantX","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-ErrantX-2012-08-12T18:39:00.000Z-DRN","replies":["c-Ebe123-2012-08-12T18:52:00.000Z-ErrantX-2012-08-12T18:39:00.000Z"],"displayName":"Errant"}}-->

Hi Ebe! Thanks for participating at the Teahouse. I just wanted to ping and let you know a bit about the Teahouse - we work a bit differently than other help spaces on Wikipedia - and as funny as it sounds, it works to help inspire and retain new editors to continue contributing to Wikipedia. We do things like say hello (everyone likes to be welcomed to a new place they visit), and we avoid using Wiki-jargon (we explain everything - even in great detail), etc. You can learn more about how the Teahouse works here, where you can also learn about becoming a Teahouse host. We also really need help inviting new editors to the Teahouse, and you can find information how to do that at our invite guide. Thanks again for participating!!

The August 2012 Copy Edit of the Month Contest is currently in the submissions stage. Submit your best August copy edit there before the end of the month. Submissions end, and discussion and voting begin, on September 1 at 00:00 (UTC).
September 2012 Backlog elimination drive is a month-long effort to reduce the size of the copy edit backlog. The drive begins on September 1 at 00:00 (UTC) and ends on September 30 at 23:59 (UTC). Our goals are to copy edit the articles tagged longest ago and to complete all requests placed before the end of August. Barnstars will be awarded to anyone who copy edits at least one article, and special awards will be given to the top six in the following categories: "Number of articles", "Number of words", "Number of articles of over 5,000 words", "Number of articles tagged longest ago", and "Longest article". This drive features a much easier signup process. We hope to see you there! – Your drive coordinators: Stfg, Allens, and Torchiest.

Hi! I'm a little unclear on your rationale for opposing the use of the education program extension. Your oppose comment was "For wikiversity". By that do you mean that this extension should be used on Wikiversity? If so, the RfC on English Wikipedia isn't the right venue for that discussion; like any supported extension, Wikiversity or any other project can have request to have it enabled if there is consensus on that project to do so. If you meant something else, maybe you can explain a bit more.

I think that the whole extension is useless and if it was mandatory to be on a wiki, it should be Wikiversity.

Thanks for explaining. It's not mandatory to be on any wikis (and there's no reason to put it on Wikiversity if users there don't want it); that's why we're doing an RfC to see if it's wanted here.

Because of your interest in dispute resolution,, I am inviting you to comment on the following RfC:
This dispute has been going on for over ten years and there have been over 1,300,000 words posted on the article talk page (by comparison, all of the Harry Potter books together total 1,084,170 words). Over the years the dispute has been through multiple noticeboards, mediators, and even the Arbitration Committee without resolving the conflict, so a lot of wisdom is needed here. --Guy Macon (talk) 00:43, 7 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2012-09-07T00:43:00.000Z","author":"Guy Macon","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Guy_Macon-2012-09-07T00:43:00.000Z-Invitation_to_comment_at_Monty_Hall_problem_RfC","replies":[]}}-->

Participation: Out of 37 people signed up for this drive so far, 19 have copy-edited at least one article, about the same as the last drive. If you've signed up but haven't yet copy-edited any articles, every bit helps; if you haven't signed up yet, it's not too late. Join us!
Progress report: We're almost on track to meet our targets for the drive. Great work, guys. We have reduced our target group of articles—August, September, and October 2011—by about 44%, and the overall backlog has been reduced by 58 articles so far, to around 2600 articles. The biggest difference between this drive and the previous one is a stronger focus on large articles, so total word counts are still comparable.
Don't forget about the Copy Edit of the Month contests! Voting for the August contest has been extended through the end of the month. You don't have to make a submission to vote!

Hi Ebe123. I'm leaving you this message because you have previously been involved as an adopter with Wikipedia's Adopt-a-user program. A clean-up of this program is currently underway, and as part of the process I am trying to find out who is and isn't still interested in remaining an adopter.
If you would prefer not to be part of the adoption program anymore, you need do nothing; when the overhaul of the project is completed your name will be removed from the list of active adopters. However, if you have current adoptees, an active adoption school or an interest in adopting in the near future, then please let us know by signing here.
If you want to remain in the project and can currently take on more adoptees, there is a serious backlog at Category:Wikipedians seeking to be adopted in Adopt-a-user; it would be enormously helpful if you could take on one or two of the users there. Please do keep an eye on the project for upcoming changes, we could use your opinions and your help!

Can you review submissions based on their individual merits?
If the answer to these questions is yes, then please read the reviewing instructions and donate a little of your time to helping tackle the backlog. You might wish to add {{AFC status}} or {{AfC Defcon}} to your userpage, which will alert you to the number of open submissions.

The Olive Branch: A Dispute Resolution Newsletter (Issue #2)
To add your named to the newsletter delivery list, please sign up here
This edition The Olive Branch is focusing on a 2nd dispute resolution RfC. Two significant proposals have been made. Below we describe the background and recent progress and detail those proposals. Please review them and follow the link at the bottom to comment at the RfC. We need your input!
View the full newsletter
Background
Until late 2003, Jimmy Wales was the arbiter in all major disputes. After the Mediation Committee and the Arbitration Committee were founded, Wales delegated his roles of dispute resolution to these bodies. In addition to these committees, the community has developed a number of informal processes of dispute resolution. At its peak, over 17 dispute resolution venues existed. Disputes were submitted in each venue in a different way.
Due to the complexity of Wikipedia dispute resolution, members of the community were surveyed in April 2012 about their experiences with dispute resolution. In general, the community believes that dispute resolution is too hard to use and is divided among too many venues. Many respondents also reported their experience with dispute resolution had suffered due to a shortage of volunteers and backlogging, which may be due to the disparate nature of the process.
An evaluation of dispute resolution forums was made in May this year, in which data on response and resolution time, as well as success rates, was collated. This data is here.
Progress so far
Leading off from the survey in April and the evaluation in May, several changes to dispute resolution noticeboard (DRN) were proposed. Rather than using a wikitext template to bring disputes to DRN, editors used a new javascript form. This form was simpler to use, but also standardised the format of submissions and applied a word limit so that DRN volunteers could more easily review disputes. A template to summarise, and a robot to maintain the noticeboard, were also created.
As a result of these changes, volunteers responded to disputes in a third of the time, and resolved them 60% faster when compared to May. Successful resolution of disputes increased by 17%. Submissions were 25% shorter by word count.(see Dispute Resolution Noticeboard Statistics - August compared to May)
Outside of DRN other simplification has taken place. The Mediation Cabal was closed in August, and Wikiquette assistance was closed in September. Nevertheless, around fifteen different forums still exist for the resolution of Wikipedia disputes.
Proposed changes
Given the success of the past efforts at DR reform, the current RFC proposes we implement:
1) A submission gadget for every DR venue tailored to the unique needs of that forum.
Similar to the one that was deployed, with great success, to the DRN.
Structured based on the specific issues most commonly dealt with at each forum.
Designed to improve the quality of requests for DR and the efficiency of DR at that forum.
Forms will merely fill out any existing templates (such as Arbcom's) and create a markup-free form in line with specific noticeboard practices otherwise.
Example form fields: What pages are involved? What users are involved? What is the issue? What resolution is desired?
This wizard would ask a series of structured questions about the nature of the dispute.
It would then determine to which dispute resolution venue a dispute should be sent.
If the user agrees with the wizard's selection, s/he would then be asked a series of questions about the details of the dispute (for example, the usernames of the involved editors).
The wizard would then submit a request for dispute resolution to the selected venue, in that venue's required format (using the logic of each venue's specialized form, as in proposal #1). The wizard would not suggest a venue which the user has already identified in answer to a question like "What other steps of dispute resolution have you tried?".
Similar to the way the DRN request form operates, this would be enabled for all users. A user could still file a request for dispute resolution manually if they so desired.
Coding such a wizard would be complex, but the DRN gadget would be used as an outline.
Once the universal request form is ready (coded by those who helped create the DRN request form) the community will be asked to try out and give feedback on the wizard. The wizard's logic in deciding the scope and requirements of each venue would be open to change by the community at any time.
3) Additionally, we're seeking any ideas on how we can attract and retain more dispute resolution volunteers.
My name is Julio Cespedes, I do not know if I went to the right place, but to be quite honest the vandalism process on Wikipedia is pretty daunting to the casual novice. I am from Mississippi and went to Madison Central High School there, which has recently been the subject of a lot of vandalism:
It is actually one of the best high schools in the State and very competitive nationally--in the city of Madison, MS-- all factors for why it may have been the subject of vandalism.
I did not know the process for blocking/warning users, especially some who have obviously only been malicious.
If you look in the history it is clear that this user has only tried to maliciously edit the page:
Jauguar5012
AugustBurnsBlue (not as malicious but making things up nonetheless)
In addition to this IP address (twice):
98.251.211.103
98.95.210.16 (making up fake alumni)
I would appreciate it any help. Ha, it may seem strange or weird for you since you are more than likely not from Mississippi or separated from the culture down here, but it is a big deal down here for this page to be like this. Thanks.
So to warn users and IPs, I would suggest turning on twinkle and using the warn function. As you were not approved by the community, you cannot block, but report to AIV after warning 4 times with {{subst:uw-vandalism1}}, then {{subst:uw-vandalism2}}, {{subst:uw-vandalism3}}, and {{subst:uw-vandalism4}}. ~~Ebe123~~ → report00:05, 26 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2012-09-26T00:05:00.000Z","author":"Ebe123","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Ebe123-2012-09-26T00:05:00.000Z-Vandalism","replies":[],"displayName":"Ebe"}}-->

Participation: Out of 41 people who signed up this drive, 28 copy-edited at least one article. Thanks to all who participated! Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here.
Progress report: We achieved our primary goal of clearing July, August, September and October 2011 from the backlog. This means that, for the first time since the drives began, the backlog is less than a year. At least 677 tagged articles were copy edited, although 365 new ones were added during the month. The total backlog at the end of the month was 2341 articles, down from 8323 when we started out over two years ago. We completed all 54 requests outstanding before September 2012 as well as eight of those made in September.
Copy Edit of the Month: Voting is now over for the August 2012 competition, and prizes will be issued soon. The September 2012 contest is closed for submissions and open for voting. The October 2012 contest is now open for submissions. Everyone is welcome to submit entries and to vote.

The October 2012 Copy Edit of the Month Contest is currently in the submissions stage. Submit your best October copy edit there before the end of the month. Submissions end, and discussion and voting begin, on November 1 at 00:00 (UTC).
NEW!! In the week from Sunday 21 October to Saturday 27 October, we are holding a Project Blitz, in which we will copy edit articles tagged with {{copyedit}} belonging to selected project(s). For the first blitz, we'll start with WikiProject Olympics and WikiProject Albums and add more Projects to the blitz as we clear them. The blitz works much like our bimonthly drives, but a bit simpler. Everyone is welcome to take part, and barnstars will be awarded.
November 2012 Backlog elimination drive is a month-long effort to reduce the size of the copy edit backlog. The drive begins on November 1 at 00:00 (UTC) and ends on November 30 at 23:59 (UTC). Our goals are to copy edit all articles tagged in 2011 and to complete all requests placed before the end of October. Barnstars will be awarded to anyone who copy edits at least one article, and special awards will be given to the top five in the following categories: "Number of articles", "Number of words", "Number of articles of over 5,000 words", "Number of articles tagged in 2011", and "Longest article". We hope to see you there! – Your drive coordinators: Stfg, Allens, and Torchiest.
