Talk

For your information, as you seem to be unaware of it: There is a "Talk" section for each article to discuss any changes that need discussing. Just click the label named "Talk" near the top of the page. --91.10.57.119 (talk) 17:58, 29 February 2012 (UTC)

err, OK, I guess--Hallows AG (talk) 18:20, 29 February 2012 (UTC)

Hello

Hallows AG, I don't know how many seconds after my edit you reverted it, but we have evidence that it was done within at least one minute. I actually thought you made it 1-2 seconds after I edited, and I thought it was a bot initially. Perhaps you saw my low number of contributions and decided that I was a vandal, but I gave much thought to that removal. Please consider reverting your revert and also the warning that is appearing now in my talk page. The concept of "affiliate" has nothing to do with the electronic affiliate, whose content can be easily found through the dab page, as I explained in my edit summary. Best regards. Markerdryer (talk) 17:58, 29 February 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the revert and also for your patrolling work! Markerdryer (talk) 18:25, 29 February 2012 (UTC)

Why did you revert?

A barnstar for you!

300 Blackout

Hi,

I know you mean well, but the actual cartridge name is 300 AAC Blackout, not .300 AAC Blackout.

This is not widely known, but SAAMi cartridge names never begin with a "." and any article which has a SAAMI cartridge with a leading dot are not technically correct.

I am the project lead on 300 AAC Blackout, and picked the name, so I know more than anyone the actual name. Please see this drawing for what SAAMI calls it:

http://www.saami.org/PubResources/CC_Drawings/Rifle/300%20AAC%20Blackout.pdf

You will see that there is no .300 - so I am hoping you will correct the article.

Revision of Vegetarianism article February 29, 2012

You removed my edit of the article, restoring a version that contains much erroneous and unverifiable content and that uses some bogus attributions to sources. The rationale for most of my edit is given at length on the article's Talk page, under the heading "Environment and Diet". If there are issues with the rationale, it would be constructive to address those issues on that Talk page.Schafhirt (talk) 21:42, 29 February 2012 (UTC)

 Fixed Reverted false positive made due to the large amount of content removed--Hallows AG (talk) 10:44, 1 March 2012 (UTC)

New Page Triage engagement strategy released

Hey guys!

I'm dropping you a note because you filled out the New Page Patrol survey, and indicated you'd be interested in being contacted about follow-up work. This is to notify you that we've finally released both the initial documentation about the project and also the engagement strategy, which sets out how we plan to work with the community on this. Please give both a read, and leave any comments or suggestions you have on the talkpage, on my talkpage, or in my inbox - okeyeswikimedia.org.

It's awesome to finally get to start work on this! :). Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 02:34, 3 March 2012 (UTC)

Page Triage newsletter

Hey guys!

Thanks to all of you who have commented on the New Page Triage talkpage. If you haven't had a chance yet, check it out; we're discussing some pretty interesting ideas, both from the Foundation and the community, and moving towards implementing quite a few of them :).

In addition, on Tuesday 13th March, we're holding an office hours session in #wikimedia-office on IRC at 19:00 UTC (11am Pacific time). If you can make it, please do; we'll have a lot of stuff to show you and talk about, including (hopefully) a timetable of when we're planning to do what. If you can't come, for whatever reason, let me know on my talkpage and I'm happy to send you the logs so you can get an idea of what happened :). Regards, Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 23:46, 8 March 2012 (UTC)

The Tea Leaf - Issue One - Recent news from the Teahouse

Hi! Welcome to the first edition of The Tea Leaf, the official newsletter of the Teahouse!

Spring has sprung! Stop by the Teahouse for a cup of tea under the cherry blossoms.

• Metrics are out from week one. Week one showed that the need for Teahouse hosts to invite new editors to the Teahouse is urgent for this pilot period. It also showed that emailing new users invitations is a powerful tool, with new editors responding more to emails than to talk page templates. We also learned that the customized database reports created for the Teahouse have the highest return rate of participation by invitees. Check out the metrics here and see how you can help with inviting in our Invitation Guide.
• A refreshed "Your hosts" page encourages experienced Wikipedians to learn about the Teahouse and participate. With community input, the Teahouse has updated the Your hosts page which details the host roles within the Teahouse pilot and the importance that hosts play in providing a friendly, special experience not always found on other welcome/help spaces on Wikipedia. It also explains how Teahouse hosts are important regarding metrics reporting during this pilot. Are you an experienced editor who wants to help out? Take a look at the new page today and start learning about the hosts tasks and how you can participate!
• Introduce yourself and meet new guests at the Teahouse. Take the time to welcome and get to know the latest guests at the Teahouse. New & experienced editors to Wikipedia can add a brief infobox about themselves and get to know one another with direct links to userpages. Drop off some wikilove to these editors today, they'll surely be happy to feel the wikilove!
