Request for comment

Hello Jonathan Tessier, I'm here onbehalf of WP:ORPHAN in which you are also a participant. So, we want your opinion to a WP:ORPHAN related matter. It is a proposal by Technical 13. Please have a look here. Your opinion (i.e support, oppose etc) are very much appreciated there. Thank you. By Jim Cartar through MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 03:02, 6 April 2014 (UTC)

Hi Jim Cartar, I think its important to inform contributors about updating their articles. But please, wikipedia has to stop punishing them! I did a spanish version of an article I wrote and it got deleted from spanish wiki cause some guy told me he thinks 1) A robot did it and 2) it's badly written. 1) I did it 2) it followed all the wiki guidelines and got proof read by native speakers. Because I didn't check my profile regularly, it got deleted after a month. 5h of work went down the drain. Man, we're all doing this for free and with love. We are not all experts in encyclopedia referencing and coding. so please give us some space and room to express ourselves. But yes, keeping us informed about orphan articles is important, just don't delete it.

Backlog drive

Hello Jonathan Tessier,

WikiProject Orphanage is holding a month long Backlog Elimination Drive to de-orphan articles which have orphan tags!
The goal is to eliminate the backlog of orphan articles. There are currently 58770 articles which have orphan tags. The drive is running from April 12, 2014 to May 12, 2014.

Awards will be given out for all editors participating in the drive in the form of barnstars at the end of the drive. To add your name in the participants list click here.
So start de-orphaning articles! Click here to see the list of articles need de-orphaning.

deOrphaning script

Hello everyone! I was just working on responding to a couple bug reports for a script that I worked up as part of a request from this project, and I noticed that only a couple people (who weren't even on this mailing list) are actually using the script. A little history on the script: In March of 2014, Jim Cartar came to my user talk page and said he needed some help in acquiring a script for a backlog drive that he was working on that could keep track of and score deOrphanings for a scored backlog drive. I took that request to the project's talk page (BackLog Drive "DO" (De-Orphaning) script proposal) and there was near unanimous support for this. I thought about the proposal and decided the best way to do it was to build a new script (which is still no where near as comprehensive as Manishearth's OrphanTabs) and build into it a mechanism that will make BLD scoring easy.

What I'm wondering at this point is, since there appears to be only two people using the script, should I continue to develop this script with a goal of using it for scoring BLDs or just debug the existing script and leave it at that. Thanks for any replies or comments.

If you wish to opt-out of future mailings, please remove yourself from the mailing list or alternatively to opt-out of all massmessage mailings, you may add Category:Opted-out of message delivery to your user talk page.

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button ( or ) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. Clubjustin ^Talkosphere 08:46, 12 June 2016 (UTC)

Copyright on Josh Herbert

Hi, I saw your question on the Copyright problems board about this article. I see you're working a re-write, and it looks good so far, so thanks! To your original question, a large chunk of the text came right from his web site. You can see the matches here: [1]. It's a legal thing, but all text here has to be written independently, and not copied from anywhere, even if the source is listed as in this case. This is because we let anyone anywhere do whatever they want with Wikipedia text, so we have to make sure we have the right to give it away in the first place. With copyrighted stuff, we just don't have that right. I hope this helps, and that you aren't put off by the blast of bureaucracy you ran into on your first article. Happy to answer any questions, thanks! Crow^Caw 21:39, 13 June 2016 (UTC)

Hi Crow, thanks for your feedback. Just hoping the new temp article will eventually get out of "temp" mode :) Have a wonderful day. --Jonathan Tessier (talk) 08:17, 14 June 2016 (UTC)

Your contributed article, Josh Herbert/Temp

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Josh Herbert/Temp. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Josh herbert (singer). Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Josh herbert (singer) – you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. OnionRing (talk) 16:43, 20 June 2016 (UTC)
