Rally.org

Hi there, thanks for taking my draft of Rally.org live. Can you please remove the "user page" template from the top for me? Also, as I wrote this on behalf of the company I just want to double check that you were able to review it and make sure that it's neutral and non-promotional. I'll ask a couple of editors who are knowledgeable about COI to swing by and take a look to make sure it looks ok, if that's alright with you? Thanks, 16912 Rhiannon (Talk · COI) 20:23, 5 April 2013 (UTC)

Was just posting a note over at the Rally.org Talk page and noticed you'd removed the template and made another fix -- thanks! It's really helpful to have someone check the wording for me, I appreciate your diligence. 16912 Rhiannon (Talk · COI) 20:50, 5 April 2013 (UTC)

The Specter review

You'll likely think I'm something of an excuse mill, but I've been a tad delayed with the Specter review. I was on vacation without sufficient Internet access to edit last week, and was unable to get much done with the review. Also, I am working on a second review that will probably consume a bit more time. In all likelihood, the review will be done in a few days. dci | TALK 02:06, 7 April 2013 (UTC)

Template:Did you know nominations/List of baseball players who defected from Cuba

Hi, since you reviewed this DYK nom, you need to put the check mark template in there so people looking to close nominations can see it's approved.

Can I grade Tom's test?

Hi GoP! I saw Uncle Tom finished his test. Can I grade it please? That way, if you have any problems, you can step in. I'm not trying to take too much control, but I would just like to help. I promise I will use your rubric:

• A 5/5 is an answer that demonstrates complete understanding and cites examples without just copying definitions.
• A 4/5 is an answer that shows a general understanding and may either not cite an example at all or cite a vague one.
• A 3/5 is an answer that demonstrates partial understanding and either incorrectly cites an example or trips up on the definition of something.
• A 2/5 is anything below that except for...
• A 1/5 which insults someone or something; never had to use this one, hope never to have to.

I will explain why I gave him the grade I did. If you have any problems with letting me grade the test, please tell me. I won't do so until I get your permission. Or I could do it in <!--hidden text-->, so you can address any issues. ~~JHUbal27 10:46, 8 April 2013 (UTC)

Hi GoP! I'm being extremely patent with you, but I'm sort of wondering about when my final exam is being graded. I need to stop obsessing about Wikipedia, but I'm just waiting. I'm off to school. ~~JHUbal27 11:48, 9 April 2013 (UTC)

Qworty

What is up with this user? I try to assume good faith but given the user's past acrimony towards Penn State articles, it is quite difficult to see where the value comes in gutting article related to the university. --Jtalledo (talk) 19:13, 10 April 2013 (UTC)

Not sure; I just demonstrated that sources are available, I will continue to do so, but let's invite him to a discussion rather than discuss him without his knowledge. Go Phightins! 19:17, 10 April 2013 (UTC)

Unsourced material can be removed at any time, per policy. All assertions must be WP:V and have WP:RS. It's not about me but about the sourcing policies that must be applied to every Wikipedia article. Thanks. Qworty (talk) 19:20, 10 April 2013 (UTC)

True, but instead of just gutting, you could look for sources that substantiate it instead...for example the tidbit regarding Posluszny was easily sourced by the article I added. I will look for some more sources a little later as I am a little busy now, but if something can be sourced, it should be sourced rather than simply being gutted. Go Phightins! 19:24, 10 April 2013 (UTC)

Ripping out swathes of content does not improve the articles at all. Instead of just removing it, then why not instead help source them or at the very least tag the article or sections? --Jtalledo (talk) 19:33, 10 April 2013 (UTC)

This is Wikipedia policy: "Unsourced material may be removed at any time." Some sections that I've removed have been tagged--often for months or even years. The purpose of a tag isn't to hang there forever without the article ever being improved. Finally, it is not the obligation of any Wikipedian to help write any article. The burden of proof--providing the sourcing--is the job of the people writing the article, not the people reviewing the article. Qworty (talk) 19:41, 10 April 2013 (UTC)

And just to be clear, WP:V says that "all quotations and any material challenged or likely to be challenged" must be substantiated by a source. No one is going to dispute that Linebacker U existed at Penn State, so the section hardly needed to be blanked. If you were so riled up about it, you could have fixed it. I have sourced all the Linebacker U recipients, I am not going to individually source every single award winner from the last 100 years of Penn State football, but if someone wants to dispute that John Cappelletti won the Heisman, they can click on the Heisman article or google it. That is not controversial information. Go Phightins! 19:53, 10 April 2013 (UTC)

It's not the obligation for Wikipedians to help write an article, but it certainly isn't an obligation to make them worse, which is what you are doing by deleting tons of content. WP:IAR is policy too. Ripping out critical content doesn't improve anything. --Jtalledo (talk) 19:58, 10 April 2013 (UTC)

Well Qworty, your mission is accomplished, all of your removed content is now sourced. What article would you like to hack at next? Go Phightins! 20:05, 10 April 2013 (UTC)

The Wikimon

Looking at your adoption HQ, The Wikimon is still on the waiting list. Unfortunately, he just got blocked for what I guess is being a sock of Vrghs jacob (talk · contribs) due to a CheckUser, and he just posted up an unblock. Until he gets blocked, should you remove him from the list until then? ZappaOMati 01:56, 11 April 2013 (UTC)

• Hi Zappa. I saw that he was blocked and emailed Tim, so hopefully we can get a clarification soon on the reasoning for blocking a contributor who, near as I can tell, has done nothing to be disruptive thus far. Go Phightins! 01:57, 11 April 2013 (UTC)
  • I wouldn't reach for "outrage" quite yet, but I'm not sure I see a pattern here. I've pinged T Canens on IRC to ask what he sees. Writ Keeper ⚇♔ 02:10, 11 April 2013 (UTC)
    • Well, outrage wasn't quite the right term, more shocked...everything I have seen from The Wikimon, who is on my adoption waiting list, points to a younger contributor who is very eager to contribute and a little over-excited at times, but hardly evidence of a sock. I emailed T Canens as well, hopefully he'll eventually reply. You're right though, "shocked" would be better than "outraged". Go Phightins! 02:13, 11 April 2013 (UTC)
      • After talking to Tim, it makes a little bit more sense; I'll let him go into more detail if desired. Writ Keeper ⚇♔ 02:19, 11 April 2013 (UTC)

Mentorship program !

Hello GoP ! JHUbal27 mentioned me about you having a really good mentorship program for beginners and leading in the right direction step by step. I am eager and my plans for Wikipedia are to contribute slowly but timely. Also, yes learning the WIKI basics is one thing which I am anxious and excited about and would like to therefore be under your watchlist. JHUbal27 also mentioned to be about you being really experienced and helpful to other NOOB users in learning and being successful on WIKIPEDIA. I am in Germany.Thank you ! Ghorpaapi (talk) 07:16, 11 April 2013 (UTC)

Hi Ghorpaapi. Unfortunately, I am not taking any new adoptees at the moment. Perhaps you can check out the list of adopters at WP:ADOPT and find someone there who can help you out. I would, but I already have a couple adoptees and have a few too many other projects at the moment to take any new adoptees. Sorry . Go Phightins! 10:21, 11 April 2013 (UTC)

Hi GoP ! Thanks a lot for the reply. I have asked Yunshui for some advice over the right person I am looking for as well. I will have a look on the WP:ADOPT. I will edit more articles till I can find someone to adopt me. Thank you ! Ghorpaapi (talk) 10:26, 11 April 2013 (UTC)

Hi Ghor! I said waiting list, but you are welcome to find another adopter if you would like. You could wait 2 weeks or more if you want. ~~JHUbal27 10:54, 11 April 2013 (UTC)

Soni---->Amad

User:Soni has asked User:Amad to cover for him at the infoboxes, which is fine...no prob. If Amad doesn't respond, either via talk or action, we have a situation. I am going to wait a day or two to see what shakes out, but if nothing by Thursday, you and I will have to do our best for AnneDeLongs' infobox. It may not be pretty but it will get delivered. ```Buster Seven Talk 11:29, 9 April 2013 (UTC)

1. 1) Im not a tech guy. Question: Maybe the way we have the infoboxes set-up is not the best or most efficient?? As you might recall there was some jockeying and upset feelings during early construction. Im just concerned that our current method works down the line and doesn't need a "tech guy" to manipulate it every week. The Award Presenter should not have to worry about the Infobox. The Infobox should be easy to change from week to week without alot of consternation. Maybe this will all shake out in the next few days. I'll be patient. ```Buster Seven Talk 11:41, 9 April 2013 (UTC)

• Just jumping in to say that we can make the infobox marginally better by automating its update. Create subpages where the infobox will be stored, and call them from the box. The only thing being that those infobox subpages will need to be prepared beforehand or else you'll see a broken script. TheOriginalSoni (talk) 12:19, 10 April 2013 (UTC)

Let's wait on Amad. If he doesn't help us out, there is a chance Ryan Vesey could help us out, and if he cannot, you and I can mumble through it...let's hope for the best, plan for the worst. Go Phightins! 19:23, 9 April 2013 (UTC)

Hey GoP. Check out Template:WikiProject Editor Retention/Editor of the Week/Project main page/sandbox. I think it's ready to go. It's in a sandbox but I will move it to the main Template page that has all the Magic "change one---change 'em all" secretcode...Once you give it a thumbs up, that is.TC. ```Buster Seven Talk 07:43, 12 April 2013 (UTC)

Way to go Buster! Nice work. Go Phightins! 10:29, 12 April 2013 (UTC)

Thanks GoP. I was gonna make the change this AM but then realized, the way I understand it, whatever is on the Main Template will get distributed to several pages (recepient, WER Main, EotW main, etc.) If I change now, the infobox at Anna Frodesiak will change and display as Ann Delong. I'm Not sure. But....maybe we (you for the most part) distribute the Award without the infobox which comes later (say Monday or Tuesday)and adds another layer to an already sucessfull reward. Ryan, if you are stalking can you explain the infoboxes workings to us in "Infoboxes for Dummies" terms. Thanks, ```Buster Seven Talk 12:20, 12 April 2013 (UTC)

You are correct that Wikipedia:WikiProject Editor Retention and Wikipedia:WikiProject Editor Retention/Editor of the Week display the current contents of the infobox (the template is "transcluded"). On the recipient's talk page and the Hall of Fame page, the person placing the infobox on the page should be "substituting" the template, using the {{subst:Template:WikiProject Editor Retention/Editor of the Week/Project main page}} syntax (documented on the template page). This will result in the current contents of the infobox being copied to the location where the subst: was added, capturing a snapshot of the infobox at that point in time, and so future changes to the infobox will not be automatically transcluded. isaacl (talk) 21:52, 12 April 2013 (UTC)

My Final Exam

Hello Go Phightins! Have fun camping! Not to be bossy, but please make grading my final exam a priority when you come back. I worked very hard on it. I know you take your time on the final exam, so I'm fine with that. I'll be waiting in the mean time. If I do good on the test, can I guide the Wikimon through the course? He seems so enthusiastic. P.S. I also posted Tom's test for you. Thanks. ~~JHUbal27 05:46, 6 April 2013 (UTC)

• Thanks JHUbal! It was a great time. I haven't heard from Tazer just yet, but I have not started grading your final. It is on my to-do list though. I printed out your written exam and will take a look at that soon, but in the mean time, stick with assisting me on Uncle Tom. I saw Soni was also interested in helping on The Wikimon. I will get the ball rolling on that soon too. The two of you can "co-teach" unless you flunk the final, which I highly doubt you will, but don't start until I set it up. Thanks. Go Phightins! 20:41, 7 April 2013 (UTC)

          • Oh I'm sorry! I didn't know you graded it on paper. Tazer sent me this reply to an e-mail:
            

            Yes, I am busy in real life -the homework never ends. I will try to have it graded by Saturday.

            
            I just need to be patient. ~~JHUbal27 01:43, 12 April 2013 (UTC)
            • I'm sorry for being obnoxious, but it is Saturday. Is the delay on Tazer? What is the delay on posting it? Even just the written exam is okay. Thanks. ~~JHUbal27 00:40, 14 April 2013 (UTC)

Hey, I am finished, I am waiting for Tazer. Since he was your primary adopter, it would be unfair to not consult him in its grading. He assures me he's working on it. Go Phightins! 00:41, 14 April 2013 (UTC)

A one-minute reply?! Wow! Please excuse me then. Yes, I agree it would be unfair. I'm sorry for blaming you. Is there a "barnstar of patience" lol? ~~JHUbal27 00:51, 14 April 2013 (UTC)

Phillies

Well, I attended a game on Sunday against the Royals. The team took a 4 point lead but Mr. Hamels wasn't able to hold it. Going into the 9th inning, they were behind 9-4 but staged a furious rally only to fall short by final score of 9-8 Royals. Although I got there late and the loss was a downer, I had a lot of fun (or "phun" as they call it). That 9th alone was thrilling and tense. I got s copy of a DVD called "no surrender", the catchphrase of last season showing the team doesn't give up even though there is no hope for the postseason. Good players and good teams play hard regardless of the outcome and the Phils are one of them. NintendoFan (Talk, Contribs) 12:04, 12 April 2013 (UTC)

Sorry I missed this... yeah, they are up to 5-5! It's sad that that makes me excited. I am going to the game next Friday on Jackie Robinson Salute Day. I think that means they all wear number 42, unfortunately, so I will actually have to think about who is who! Incidentally, I saw 42 today, the movie about Jackie Robinson. Great movie! I would suggest all my talk page stalkers go see it and then we'll start our own forum about it on someone else's talk page so they will get blocked for violating WP:NOT! . In all seriousness, go see it. It was terrific. Go Phightins! 21:58, 13 April 2013 (UTC)

Though nobody can deny Jackie Robinson's legacy (his dream for equality regardless of race has long since come true), it seems to me people are giving the number "42" more recognition than the person himself. I think making all the players on the field wear the same number is a silly idea. I went to a Yankees-Angels game last year on the Sunday night and it was hard to tell who was batting because they all wore 42! It think it's time we starting talking about Robinson more and the number less. I do plan to go see the movie since it is indeed getting rave reviews. NintendoFan (Talk, Contribs) 22:06, 13 April 2013 (UTC)

Exactly. I understand that baseball has an affection for retiring numbers, and I suppose to an extent, that is OK, but wouldn't it be more appropriate to air a five minute description of his life and to print pictures and articles of him in game programs rather than have everyone wear his number, 42? Interestingly, in the movie, Pee Wee Reese suggested that the entire Brooklyn Dodgers team wear #42 so "no one would be able to tell Robinson apart" (jokingly of course). Go Phightins! 22:56, 13 April 2013 (UTC)

Today the Phillies play in Cincinatti. I went to a Yankees game yesterday and it was awesome. NintendoFan (Talk, Contribs) 09:59, 15 April 2013 (UTC)

I obtained straight "B" letter grades, with the exception of social studies and mathematics where I garnered an "A" (for social studies) "C+" (for mathematics). TBrandley 22:27, 15 April 2013 (UTC)

I was a straight-A student, and I would've had a 4.0 GPA had it not been for math class, where I got a dang "C". Dang you geometry! ZappaOMati 22:54, 15 April 2013 (UTC)

I just completed geometry, something I do not happen to enjoy, unless most mathematics work. TBrandley 23:04, 15 April 2013 (UTC)

Well, I did have quite a lot of setbacks during the class, such as my crush being in it, a pretty bad teacher, awful note-taking methods, being pulled out of class for music performances at elementary schools, the list goes on! ZappaOMati 23:09, 15 April 2013 (UTC)

AutoStrike, I'm not sure how I got a B in PE. Uniform maybe? I'm going to 9th grade next year. I'll be in Honors Geometry :p Oh no! Part of me wants to get out of 8th grade and part of me doesn't. What do I do?! ~~JHUbal27 23:21, 15 April 2013 (UTC)

Well, going by your grades, I don't think you are going to be held back in 8th grade. AutomaticStrikeout (T • C • Sign AAPT) 23:24, 15 April 2013 (UTC)

You're not alone JHUbal. Sometimes I feel like getting the heck outta 8th grade, though a part of me still wants to stay regardless. It's probably because all but one of my friends are going to one school, but I'm getting sent to another due to being selected for the magnet program. ZappaOMati 00:33, 16 April 2013 (UTC)

• Umm - I've redacted the above report card, and suppressed the interim edits. To be honest, it's kinda trivial to track down you actual school. Please be careful with your personal information!! - Alison ^❤ 08:06, 16 April 2013 (UTC)
  • Whoa. I hadn't seen this thread until this morning, so I am not sure what was suppressed, but I suppose that is the idea :) JHUbal, you just need to remain cautious. It doesn't take much for someone to figure out who you are or might be. Go Phightins! 10:35, 16 April 2013 (UTC)
  • Is Zappa in 8th grade or high school? I'm confused. I'm also going to a magnet program for health science technology. I think I want to be a pediatric ER doctor. Alison redacted (removed?) my list of teachers, so stalkers (actual stalkers) do not track what school I go to. Yikes, now I know how they could do it. ~~JHUbal27 20:59, 16 April 2013 (UTC)
    • Hopefully this doesn't get redacted, but I'm still in 8th. But yeah, just be careful. I remembered back in 2012, I added my birth year and school to my userpage, but it got redacted eventually. Anyway, I'm getting sent to a magnet problem for computer information technology, which is pretty cool, since I enjoy working with computers (even though I'd much rather become an NFL player or something). ZappaOMati 23:27, 16 April 2013 (UTC)
    • That's cool! Maybe you could add me to your buddy list ? ~~JHUbal27 02:27, 17 April 2013 (UTC)
      • Consider it done! ZappaOMati 02:36, 17 April 2013 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

Hi GoP! I requested that he find vandalism edits at recent changes [and sign that he read the content disclaimer (I didn't tell him about that yet. Should I?)] Should I wait for him or just post the test? Should I contact him? ~~JHUbal27 21:15, 16 April 2013 (UTC)

• Why don't you go ahead and post the test. Go Phightins! 21:16, 16 April 2013 (UTC)
  • Ok, he's going to have to do it anyway! SUGGESTION: Shouldn't the Twinkle lesson be a prerequisite for the Vandalism lesson (unless they already know how to use it)? Seems to make sense. ~~JHUbal27 23:26, 16 April 2013 (UTC)
    • That isn't a bad idea. Feel free to implement with future adoptees. Thanks. Go Phightins! 23:28, 16 April 2013 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for the help archiving. We need to be careful and leave stuff that is likely to be asked again and again, which is why I left the sports stuff. Holy cow, I've spent half the night just archiving. I think I just did about 30 sections in one sitting. Think I'm going to call it a night now...

• I only killed that one section, if it needs to be brought back, then it needs to be brought back. You are invaluable to this page. Drmies is on the case now. Go Phightins! 02:13, 17 April 2013 (UTC)
