Hi. When you recently edited Censor bars, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page PIPA (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.

AfD and PROD

edit

Hi Stvfetterly. Back in November, you got either an AfD or PROD notification, and it was during one of the template testing project's experiments. If you could go here and leave us some feedback about what you think about the new versions of the templates we tested (there are links on the page), that would be very useful. (You can also email me at swalling@wikimedia.org if you want.) Thanks! Steven Walling (WMF) • talk 22:31, 17 February 2012 (UTC)Reply

Sorry if I got a bit grumpy over this article. I don't even think it's that important that it is not merged into the main IRT one. What annoys me is that we have the rules set up in such a way that very minor (e.g.) sportsmen, actors, and musicians can pass the required tests on the basis of one or two articles in local media but others who are far better known (and hence likely to be looked up) can fail. Which is why I used the term 'wiki-lawyering' as it seems that strict application of the detailed rules accentuates what seems to me an illogical way to arrange things.

No worries, I've been known to get a little too worked up over pretty miniscule stuff myself. All that I was trying to argue was that the History Network can't be considered an unbiased reference if it has a vested interest in a person. The article has been improved with several more independent references now, so all's good!--StvFetterly(Edits) 12:55, 14 March 2012 (UTC)Reply

Dispute resolution survey

edit

Dispute Resolution – Survey Invite


Hello Stvfetterly. I am currently conducting a study on the dispute resolution processes on the English Wikipedia, in the hope that the results will help improve these processes in the future. Whether you have used dispute resolution a little or a lot, now we need to know about your experience. The survey takes around five minutes, and the information you provide will not be shared with third parties other than to assist in analyzing the results of the survey. No personally identifiable information will be released.

Please click HERE to participate.
Many thanks in advance for your comments and thoughts.


You are receiving this invitation because you have had some activity in dispute resolution over the past year. For more information, please see the associated research page. Steven Zhang DR goes to Wikimania! 02:19, 6 April 2012 (UTC)Reply

SCUM manifesto

edit

Thanks for helping with restoring the cat to the SCUM Manifesto article, I introduced it and have tried restoring it a number of times without success. It just seems so obvious and there are about 3 justifications for it's inclusion, I can't understand why it keeps being deleted and the editor in question has shown some strange behaviour over at AFD as well. Please keep an eye on things, also, looking at the VAW category it is likely to belong in the Andy Warhol article and I'd be interested in your thoughts on that. Thanks once again.--Shakehandsman (talk) 17:14, 10 April 2012 (UTC)Reply

I've warned the affected party about multiple reverts (since he violated WP:3RR) and have explained my reasoning for the category on the SCUM Manifesto article talk page. I'm not sure about adding Warhol to the VAM category . . . that seems a little less cut and dried to me at the moment.--StvFetterly(Edits) 18:13, 10 April 2012 (UTC)Reply
Ok thanks, it's invaluable to have input from an uninvolved party. There is now a vote on the issue in talk page so you may want to formalise your position there. I should probably add there there is "history" between DC and myself which may or may not be a factor in this issue, his most recent edit summary suggesting the former being the case--Shakehandsman (talk) 19:50, 10 April 2012 (UTC)Reply
The history should be irrelevant if you bring forth good points (which you have to this point). --StvFetterly(Edits) 19:55, 10 April 2012 (UTC)Reply
Well when a say "history", I mean history and ongoing issues. Once again thanks for your input. It's incredible to think that were you not involved we'd almost certainly be looking at a "no consensus" on something so blatantly obvious.--Shakehandsman (talk) 20:04, 10 April 2012 (UTC)Reply

ArbCom elections are now open!

edit

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page. For the Election committee, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 16:40, 23 November 2015 (UTC)Reply

New 10,000 Challenge for Canada

edit

Hi, Wikipedia:WikiProject Canada/The 10,000 Challenge is up and running based on Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge for the UK which has currently produced over 2300 article improvements and creations. If you'd like to see large scale quality improvements happening for Canada like The Africa Destubathon, which has produced over 1600 articles in 5 weeks, sign up on the page. The idea will be an ongoing national editathon/challenge for Canada but fuelled by a contest such as The North America Destubathon to really get articles on every province and subject mass improved. I would like some support from Canadian wikipedians here to get the Challenge off to a start with some articles to make doing a Destubathon worthwhile! Cheers. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 01:55, 22 November 2016 (UTC)Reply
