RC Patrol-related Proposals in the 2016 Community Wishlist Survey

Greetings Recent Changes Patrollers!

This is a one-time-only message to inform you about technical proposals related to Recent Changes Patrol in the 2016 Community Wishlist Survey that I think you may be interested in reviewing and perhaps even voting for:

1. Adjust number of entries and days at Last unpatrolled
2. Editor-focused central editing dashboard
3. "Hide trusted users" checkbox option on watchlists and related/recent changes (RC) pages
4. Real-Time Recent Changes App for Android
5. Shortcut for patrollers to last changes list

Further, there are more than 20 proposals related to Watchlists in general that you may be interested in reviewing. (and over 260 proposals in all, across many aspects of wikis)

Thank you for your consideration. Please note that voting for proposals continues through December 12, 2016.

Note: You received this message because you have transcluded {{User wikipedia/RC Patrol}} (user box) on your user page. Since this message is "one-time-only" there is no opt out for future mailings.

Hello. Regarding the recent revert you made: you may already know about them, but you might find Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace useful. After a revert, these can be placed on the user's talk page to let them know you considered their edit inappropriate, and also direct new users towards the sandbox. They can also be used to give a stern warning to a vandal when they've been previously warned. Thank you. Murph9000 (talk) 16:17, 24 April 2017 (UTC)

Ship articles assessment

hello there, I noticed you rated alot of ship articles lately, however, I do have an issue with your assigning 'Start' class to several of them when it is clear they are complete. Also several have 'C' rating but there is no any feedback, in fact, it appears you simply ignored the coverage and references altogether. I will be removing your Start classifications because they are clearly in error. Please provide feedback with regards to 'C' ratings. Thank you. Crook1 (talk) 14:01, 7 June 2019 (UTC)

Please explain exactly why you rated Bald Eagle (clipper) a stub-class. What elements are missing that prevent its being classed higher on the scale? Thank you. Craigthebirder (talk) 15:42, 7 June 2019 (UTC)

I apologise for incorrectly assessing some articles, in the case of the Bald Eagle it's definitely a start-class not a stub, and I made a mistake in assessing it as such. In general, I have assessed these articles in comparison to other articles on the Wikiproject, and maintain that the majority of them are classed correctly. In many of the cases (in particular articles about Liberty Ships etc) there is not much information, I understand that this is because of the number of them built and the lack of information available, however I still do not feel the articles have sufficiently covered the ship's history (e.g. list of convoys or the like), and so have rated them start or C class. Again I apologise for the few I have assessed incorrectly, and will leave class assessments to more experienced wikiproject members in the future. SomeRandomUserGuy (talk) 16:46, 7 June 2019 (UTC)
