Help needed at DRN

You are receiving this message because you are signed up as a volunteer at the Dispute Resolution Noticeboard. We have a number of pending requests which need a volunteer to address them. Unless you are an inexperienced volunteer who is currently just watching DRN to learn our processes, please take a case. If you do not see yourself taking cases in the foreseeable future, please remove yourself from the volunteer list so that we can have a better idea of the size of our pool of volunteers; if you do see yourself taking cases, please watchlist the DRN page and keep an eye out to see if there are cases which are ready for a volunteer. We have recently had to refuse a number of cases because they were listed for days with no volunteer willing to take them, despite there being almost 150 volunteers listed on the volunteer page.

Bot automation at Wikipedia:Today's articles for improvement

Greetings WikiProject TAFI members!

Over the past two weeks, there has been extensive discussion on introducing bot automation to assist with maintenance of the Today's Articles for Improvement project. A bot has now been approved for trial and will carry out the weekly duties. The bots first run will occur around 00:00, 22 November 2015 (UTC) (midnight on Sunday).

If you have been assisting any of the weekly maintenance tasks, please refrain from doing so this week. The bot needs to be tested and proven it can do the job, and it only gets one chance per week. The tasks will include:

• Adding the new scheduled article to Wikipedia talk:Today's articles for improvement and removing the entry from Wikipedia:Articles for improvement
• Set up the schedule pages for the new TAFI, except the adding of an image and caption
• Adding {{TAFI}} to the new article for improvement, remove {{TAFI}} from last week's article and add {{Former TAFI}} to the talk page
• Notify relevant WikiProjects that the new TAFI is within their scope
• Send a mass message to everyone on the notification list of the new TAFI selection

Updating the accomplishments and archiving selections is still done manually, along with daily tasks such as adding approved entries to the articles for improvement page. These will become automated in the near future.

We hope the bot proves to serve well, and by carrying out the routine housekeeping tasks we can boost the overall efficiency and effectiveness of the project. MusikBot thanks you for your service in helping with the weekly tasks in the past, and for your cooperation during this trial period :)

Comment from BurOak496

Hi Smileguy91, Thanks for your comments. I'm just getting started so please be patient as I make mistakes and then correct them with help from you and others who are experienced with wiki pages. — Preceding unsigned comment added by BurOak496 (talk • contribs) 17:29, 22 November 2015 (UTC)

Hello, I apologize if the PROD notice was offensive. I do realize that new editors do work hard on creating new articles for the world's better knowledge. However, as a matter of policy BLP PROD must be enforced. If you have any further questions, feel free to contact me! smileguy91^{talk - contribs} 01:08, 23 November 2015 (UTC)

Message from Thetortorian

Hello,

Thank you for the kind message, I am not used to Wikipedia so am sorry if I did not manage to get something right, Best wishes,

Thetortorian (talk) 06:10, 23 November 2015 (UTC)

Hello Thetortorian, I apologize for the deletion message. I do realize that new editors are crucial to Wikipedia's running, and are the foundation of much of our new material. However, new pages must conform to Wikipedia's guidelines. WP:NRV was the issue in your article, I believe, that caused it to be deleted by an administrator's confirmation that the article met Wikipedia: Criteria for speedy deletion criteria. If you have any further questions, please contact me and I will be more than willing to assist. smileguy91^{talk - contribs} 02:35, 24 November 2015 (UTC)

I am ishaan grewal I am extremely sorry for adding unreasonable content on some articles as I had done so unknowingly and was just trying to help Wikipedia. I will now only put good and useful content on articles. I am very sorry. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ishaangrewal2001702 (talk • contribs) 11:31, 23 November 2015

Please, don't be sorry! The content on your page, I believe, was not unreasonable. It just simply did not expand on content already covered in Wikipedia's page on Table (database). Please see WP:A10 for more information on Wikipedia's guidelines on the creation articles that already have material coverage. If you have any more queries, please feel free to contact me. smileguy91^{talk - contribs} 02:35, 24 November 2015 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

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) 16:53, 24 November 2015 (UTC)

I was kind of hoping it'd be your grandfather, with some cool stories. Drmies (talk) 05:01, 25 November 2015 (UTC)

I don't have any stories as a first or second-hand teller, but these pictures do stir up the imagination! [1] smileguy91^{talk - contribs} 05:04, 25 November 2015 (UTC)

That's pretty exciting. I've seen places like that in the north of Spain, where a couple of thousand bucks buys you a village in some beautiful setting. Of course you'd need water and power and people and a store and roads and whatnot. Don't we have a category for ghost towns? Is it a ghost town if there's still one person in there? And what if that one person was Johnny Manziel? Seriously, you gotta find out who the one person is and what their story is. Road trip! Take pictures! Drmies (talk) 14:35, 25 November 2015 (UTC)

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.

Vandalism

Hello Smileguy91, yes I'll use that tag next time. Sorry, I just read it now and yes it seems to be harsh. I guess I was just frustrated because there have been a slew of IP editors and users who have been removing content from some of these pages and I've always been adding it back in but people just continue to remove them. However I will use that tag next time, thanks for letting me know, I appreciate it! =D (137.147.55.166 (talk) 04:33, 28 November 2015 (UTC))

Do you think I should replace my message on 27.147.202.22's talk page with {{uw-vandalism1}} or should I just leave it as it is since I've already left a message? Again I am sorry for being so harsh. (137.147.55.166 (talk) 04:46, 28 November 2015 (UTC))

It's okay, most Wikipedia vandalism fighters have moments when they are extremely frustrated with people who do not make constructive edits. I would personally advise you to replace the message with the template in case the user has not read the message yet, but it is okay to leave it as-is since a single comment on a user talk page isn't such a big deal. Since you're obviously interested in positively changing the Wikipedia community, why don't you get an account? Accounts pave the way to do so much more on Wikipedia. Thanks, smileguy91^{talk - contribs} 05:37, 28 November 2015 (UTC)

I'll replace the message. Yeah I'm not sure whether I should create an account yet. I've been editing Wikipedia for a while now, but my IP address often changes I'll think about it. I looked at your user page and saw you're a teenager, me too! Anyway, thanks for replying to my messages. (137.147.55.166 (talk) 05:48, 28 November 2015 (UTC))

Atom (book)

Sorry, but you can't use A7 (no credible significance IS A7) on a book. Anyway, there is a claim to significance in that one of the authors is bluelinked. It's prod or AfD if you feel strongly about this one. Peridon (talk) 14:54, 28 November 2015 (UTC)

Hello

I have created an article "PTC sites" and I found the message that my article Should be merged with "Paid to click", what should i do and what's the merge procedures because I'm new in Wikipedia.

Proposed deletion of PTC sites

The article PTC sites has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Should be merged with Paid to click.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Frogcom (talk) 16:11, 28 November 2015 (UTC)

Thank you

Hello, this wasn't my article...did you make sure to tag the person who created it? I believe that I originally flagged this for deletion. smileguy91^{talk - contribs} 22:26, 28 November 2015 (UTC)

Hello, and thank you for notifying me. I do not believe that your addition of an extra deletion template was necessary since WP:A9 already suffices and the article is not overly promotional in tone. However, if you believe that my undoing of your edit was unjust, please explain why here so we can make proper changes. Again, thank you very much for notifying me! smileguy91^{talk - contribs} 15:42, 5 December 2015 (UTC)

Hello, the page you created or marked as reviewed is the studio album of a subject that has a red-link. Create an article about the artiste before you create articles about his/her works. Regards.--—OluwaCurtis »» (talk to me) 15:49, 5 December 2015 (UTC)

You must be mistaken, I wasn't the creator of the article. As per the page history, the creator of the page was User:البرتو. I added the first deletion template as a Wikipedia:New pages patroller. I have already properly notified said user of the deletion of his/her article. smileguy91^{talk - contribs} 15:51, 5 December 2015 (UTC)

Also, your final statement about "creating articles about the artist before his or her works" was the rationale I originally tagged the article for deletion with. Cheers! smileguy91^{talk - contribs} 15:53, 5 December 2015 (UTC)

DRN help needed and volunteer roll call

You are receiving this message because you have listed yourself on the list of volunteers at Wikipedia:Dispute resolution noticeboard/Volunteering#List of the DRN volunteers.

First, assistance is needed at DRN. We have recently closed a number of cases without any services being provided for lack of a volunteer willing to take the case. There are at least three cases awaiting a volunteer at this moment. Please consider taking one.

Second, this is a volunteer roll call. If you remain interested in helping at DRN and are willing to actively do so by taking at least one case (and seeing it through) or helping with administrative matters at least once per calendar month, please add your name to this roll call list. Individuals currently on the principal volunteer list who do not add their name on the roll call list will be removed from the principal volunteer list after June 30, 2016 unless the DRN Coordinator chooses to retain their name for the best interest of DRN or the encyclopedia. Individuals whose names are removed after June 30, 2016, should feel free to re-add their names to the principal volunteer list, but are respectfully requested not to do so unless they are willing to take part at DRN at least one time per month as noted above. No one is going to be monitoring to see if you live up to that commitment, but we respectfully ask that you either live up to it or remove your name from the principal volunteer list.
