MSU Interview

Dear WhisperToMe,

My name is Jonathan Obar user:Jaobar, I'm a professor in the College of Communication Arts and Sciences at Michigan State University and a Teaching Fellow with the Wikimedia Foundation's Education Program. This semester I've been running a little experiment at MSU, a class where we teach students about becoming Wikipedia administrators. Not a lot is known about your community, and our students (who are fascinated by wiki-culture by the way!) want to learn how you do what you do, and why you do it. A while back I proposed this idea (the class) to the community HERE, where it was met mainly with positive feedback. Anyhow, I'd like my students to speak with a few administrators to get a sense of admin experiences, training, motivations, likes, dislikes, etc. We were wondering if you'd be interested in speaking with one of our students.

So a few things about the interviews:

• Interviews will last between 15 and 30 minutes.
• Interviews can be conducted over skype (preferred), IRC or email. (You choose the form of communication based upon your comfort level, time, etc.)
• All interviews will be completely anonymous, meaning that you (real name and/or pseudonym) will never be identified in any of our materials, unless you give the interviewer permission to do so.
• All interviews will be completely voluntary. You are under no obligation to say yes to an interview, and can say no and stop or leave the interview at any time.
• The entire interview process is being overseen by MSU's institutional review board (ethics review). This means that all questions have been approved by the university and all students have been trained how to conduct interviews ethically and properly.

Bottom line is that we really need your help, and would really appreciate the opportunity to speak with you. If interested, please send me an email at obar@msu.edu (to maintain anonymity) and I will add your name to my offline contact list. If you feel comfortable doing so, you can post your name HERE instead.

If you have questions or concerns at any time, feel free to email me at obar@msu.edu. I will be more than happy to speak with you.

Thanks in advance for your help. We have a lot to learn from you.

Sincerely,

Jonathan Obar --Jaobar (talk) 07:26, 12 February 2012 (UTC) Young June Sah --Yjune.sah (talk) 22:08, 15 February 2012 (UTC)

Hi WhisperToMe. Awhile back 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, that would be very useful. We're specifically looking for info about whether the messages were more effective at communicating how people should participate in deletion processes as the author of the article.

AMRI Fire Tragedy

I have seen your very well written Comayagua prison fire. I am planning to start an article on a fire tragedy in a hospital in Kolkata, Inida - AMRI Hospital which claimed 90 human lives. Fire in a hospital and so many deaths - is one of the rarest incidents! See: Web Article Can you help me in the proposed article?

Redirects Allison Ambrose and others

I just discovered the Category: Survivors of aviation accidents or incidents and learned most of the persons there are actually redirects and I saw you created the redirects. Were these ever actual articles on people or were they redirects all along? The reason I'm asking is me and another aviation editor the redirects should be deleted. See this talk page.[1] If you have comments, please write there or here. I'll keep an eye out. WhisperToMe (talk) 18:10, 21 February 2012 (UTC)

Ah, ok.

I think the consensus is that if the passengers were not mentioned in the article, then their redirects should be deleted. So if they aren't mentioned in the article, I will have no objections to their deletion WhisperToMe (talk) 17:53, 21 February 2012 (UTC)

I brought your reply over here to keep this conversation running together. Actually I mentioned that on the end of my first post here.

Here's the thing, Allison Ambrose, is a very brief mention in the 2001 near mid-air Japan incident. Does that make her notable enough for a redirect? I don't think so, but probably all the redirects need to be nominated for deletion so editors can debate whether any should be saved.

BTW I am in favor of saving the category. Just get the redirects cleaned up, cleared out.- WhisperToMe (talk) 18:10, 21 February 2012 (UTC)

I think it's fine to nominate them all together. Since Ambrose is mentioned, it could be debatable. Her friend Meggan Wesche actually was interviewed about it, so I think her case is stronger. WhisperToMe (talk) 18:10, 21 February 2012 (UTC)

Barnstar

I hope this barnstar will not be deleted. I read that one needs to get permission before creating barnstar.

RE:Andheri

Hiya, What I meant is a mere mention of major corporations in prose is enough, a lengthy list/para is uncalled for. Around The Globe^{सत्यमेव जयते} 06:10, 16 March 2012 (UTC)

As I said, I still feel a mere mention in prose should be enough. Unless ofcourse as you said the local community has benefited by, say for eg. a public garden being made or maintained by the company in the area. As for a schools list, the it clutters up a neighbourhood article, I would think another article, List of schools and colleges in Andheri would be a better way of dealing with it (backed up with relevant references, like you mentioned). Cheers, Around The Globe^{सत्यमेव जयते} 06:35, 16 March 2012 (UTC)

Andheri is divided into east and west (east and west sides of a railway line). According to this source (I know its not RS, but it gives a rough guide), as of 2001, Andheri East had a population of 800k aprox and Andheri West of 700k aprox, totally about 1.5m aprox, hence comparing with a municipality of 15k is miniscule. If you see my edit in April 2011, you will find a massive number of school names, Im not even sure thats a complete list. Cheers, Around The Globe^{सत्यमेव जयते} 06:57, 16 March 2012 (UTC)

800k is just one side, the total is about 1.5m! Andheri, like the rest of Mumbai is extremely dense (aprox 80k people per sq mile), one of the most populated cities in the world, though its not very large. Mumbai is an island city and is only about 233 sq miles (with a 20m+ population), of which 169 sq miles is under the municipality and the rest is forest/port/naval property. You can call Mumbai the financial nerve centre of India - it contributes about 40% of federal direct taxes. The major financial centres, where a bulk of Indias major companies are headquartered in the city, historically in Fort and Nariman Point in the city are where these companies had their headquarters. In recent years, these areas have comanded a very heavy premium due to high demand and shortage of space, hence Bandra Kurla Complex in the suburbs has come up with several companies moving their headquarters there. As BKC too has started becoming pricey, companies now increasingly opt for relatively cheaper locations like Andheri. Another point is, with South Mumbai being extremely expensive to live in, a bulk of the population now lives in the suburbs, which means they find it more convienient to work at BKC or Andheri. As for companies, more than 5k are listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange - again a majority of them are Mumbai based, imo. Hope this helps, Around The Globe^{सत्यमेव जयते} 07:21, 16 March 2012 (UTC)

Some more number crunching - 3300+ schools (SSC or State Board) apart from 150 ICSE schools, 32 CBSE schools and 75 ICGSE schools in Mumbai. Cheers, Around The Globe^{सत्यमेव जयते} 09:13, 16 March 2012 (UTC)

Dispute resolution survey

Dispute Resolution – Survey Invite Hello WhisperToMe. 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.

Inline citations

You said:

"(No, no, no. You need to use inline citations, always)"

Two things:

1. You don't have to use inline citations on Wikipedia. It's best practice and recommended, but there are plenty of articles that use References at the end with no inline. In fact for the first 3 or 4 years of Wikipedia, inline cites were almost non existent.

2. When you delete key information like the above, you effectively unreferenced the entire article without noting it anywhere, such as on the talk page, or putting the inlines in yourself. That is not good practice. I realize you are passionate about having inlines and believe the only response is to immediately delete it and move on - but think through the consequence and think about how you can inform future editors of this information so they can take steps to correct it. Don't assume the article is on someones watchlist. You just deleted it without taking any positive steps to correct it or note that information anywhere, and now the article is a unreferenced article that future editors will have no idea it once actually had information about the source used in writing it.

articles are afd

The documentaries of star wars are afd for now but an editor at the moment having a editor that is borderline WP:OWN. It would be great if this was announced to a group or wikiproject. I'm not so sure where to put it in ther than Wp:film.Lucia Black (talk) 03:59, 6 April 2012 (UTC)

Simply disagreeing with you is not a sign of WP:OWN, nor is adding sources to an article on the basis of an AfD filed with questionable reasons. Your initial rationale ("appears to have no hope of improvement") may be your opinion, but that doesn't make it true. MikeWazowski (talk) 04:48, 6 April 2012 (UTC)

Parchman, Mississippi and Mississippi State Peniteniary

Hi-I notice you redirected the Parchman, Mississippi article with the Mississippi State Peniteniary article. Both have separate GNIS ids. I feel the Parchman, Mississippi article should remain separate and the redirect should be revert. I raised my concerns with The Catalyst31 so you might want to the comment at Catalyst31's talk page. Thank you-RFD (talk) 12:38, 6 April 2012 (UTC)

JAL ticketing office on Ishigaki Island

In July 2011, you added something about a ticketing office on Ishigaki Island. I removed it since it seems rather irrelevant. If we start listing every single place like an airline ticketing office, where does it end? I really don't see why this is noteworthy. However, since you added it, I felt I should notify you - maybe there is something special I don't know that justifies including this information? Thanks. --Piz d'Es-Cha (talk) 20:08, 8 April 2012 (UTC)

French Air and Space Museum

Hi, thanks for your message. The move is now done, together with many associated links. I agree that the English translation of the full title is as above, but I don't believe either full title is in common usage in France, UK, or elsewhere. I did have some stats about internet hits, misplaced them now, but I think it was at least two to one in favour of the summary French version.PeterWD (talk) 13:45, 12 April 2012 (UTC)

Hi,

Sorry about the removal of a valid category belonging to the article Andrew Lih. I initially thought that there was already a parent category for the article but was not aware of the subcategory (the one that I removed) was used for Lih's other occupations.

I'm not sure about the merits of the original redirect target, and have changed it to a new disambiguation page I've created. Deryck C. 17:19, 28 April 2012 (UTC)

I left an entry on the new disambiguation page I created saying that there was someone by this name in the plane crash. Is that entry useful according to the current aviation disaster article standards? Deryck C. 17:34, 28 April 2012 (UTC)

Great American Wiknic for Houston in June

Howdy! My advice for you is, "If you build it, they will come!"

I would siggest just making a public park and date choice at Wikipedia:Meetup/Houston, and adding any preliminary details at Wikipedia:Wiknic#2012 Wiknic.

If Evansville, Indiana can do it then certainly Houston is metropolis enough :)--Pharos (talk) 00:20, 13 May 2012 (UTC)

Sometimes wikiproject discussion pages can be a bit of a dead zone, but you should really be bold and just put some preliminary info on Wikipedia:Meetup/Houston to get the ball rolling. When June comes around, this will all be getting plenty of sitenotice visibility.--Pharos (talk) 21:09, 14 May 2012 (UTC)

At this point you should just unilaterally and boldly pick a time and place of your preference for the Houston Wiknic at Wikipedia:Meetup/Houston. The main thing we need is a definite location and date nailed down for this, when we will start advertising it nationally on sitenotice quite soon.--Pharos (talk) 16:33, 22 May 2012 (UTC)

Alright, and feel free to hold the Houston Wiknic at a later or earlier date if that's better for you personally. Also, the main thing Wikipedians tend to lack is decisiveness, so even if you can't be there in person, setting a solid suggestion for time/place would be a great boon.--Pharos (talk) 17:45, 22 May 2012 (UTC)

One thing that I was puzzled at when looking at the media files there (which you uploaded mostly) is why you chose to use very close crops of their faces? Was it a request of the project?
