impersonator
- Who impersonated me? Androzaniamy (talk) 22:08, 7 July 2012 (UTC)
- Probably a Slitheen, but you never can tell. They are always impersonating someone, and leaving a foul smell behind as this person did. They'll have to check the IP address. Do you have any archenemy out there? Would it just be someone you met on Wikipedia, or do you have someone on forums or Facebook or wherever else you may post at, that knew of your Wikipedia identity, and wanted to mess with you? Dream Focus 22:47, 7 July 2012 (UTC)
- But the only way someone could impersonate me was to use my account which only me and my parents know the password of. I'm not allowed to use Facebook or other websites for adults. I have no archenemies. Sure there are people at school who bully me but I don't log into Wikipedia at school and they won't try to be mean to me online. It can't be my little sister because she's not clever or mean enough to make an account all by herself without our parents finding out because they monitor everything we do on the computer to make sure we stay safe. My parents only know my Wikipedia password for my own safety and will never use it to impersonate me. Androzaniamy (talk) 10:37, 8 July 2012 (UTC)
- They registered the name User:Androzaniamy-alt so they didn't use your account. And I don't think anyone ever thought it was you, since when you have a problem with someone you click their contributions and can see its a new account, and obviously not you. Dream Focus 13:36, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

- So how is it impersonation? I'm not so worried anymore but I was just wondering. I always thought that impersonation was pretending to be someone else. Androzaniamy (talk) 16:58, 8 July 2012 (UTC)
- Well, not a very good impersonator. Still, its the thought that counts, and those thoughts were evil. Dream Focus 22:02, 8 July 2012 (UTC)
- You are right. Impersonation is pretending to be someone else. Someone pretended to be you by creating what looks an alternate account of you. They must've researched your history and tried to imitate it although, it didn't go very well.—cyberpower ChatOnline 22:08, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

- Could it be an editor who knew me previously? Androzaniamy (talk) 19:42, 9 July 2012 (UTC)
- Perhaps. Maybe someone who wanted to get you blocked during the ANI discussion that took place a while back. Because so mony people know you, we can't know for sure who it was. Also, I've been following your adoption page and notice that you are fascinated by copyright and how it works. If you like, I can answer some of those questions for you. I plan to run an adoption program just like Worm's.—cyberpower ChatOnline 22:21, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

Notice
Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. The thread is Possible editor-impersonation/disruptive account. Thank you. Ryan Vesey Review me! 20:11, 6 July 2012 (UTC)
Impersonation
Someone appears to have tried to impersonate you by making what looks like an alternate account. They disrupted Wikipedia and sent me a nasty message. If you have any relatives, make sure they are not trying to get you into trouble here.—cyberpower ChatOnline 20:31, 6 July 2012 (UTC)
- The only relatives I have that know I have a Wikipedia account is my parents and little sister. None of them will ever do such a horrid and mean thing to me. Androzaniamy (talk) 10:39, 8 July 2012 (UTC)
- Whoever it was, they have been stopped. So there's no need to worry about it anymore.—cyberpower ChatOffline 11:10, 8 July 2012 (UTC)
- Phew! Androzaniamy (talk) 16:59, 8 July 2012 (UTC)
- This incident brought me back to when we were fighting. I want for you and I to get along peacefully.—cyberpower ChatOnline 19:44, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

Impersonation
It has been suggested that you are the "impersonator" of me and you. Please see Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Unkown.—cyberpower ChatTemporarily Online 17:46, 25 July 2012 (UTC)
- I'm not sure that's entirely what was suggested, but see it anyway, an SPI has been opened to find who has been impersonating you guys.--Gilderien Chat|List of good deeds 17:49, 25 July 2012 (UTC)
- Has someone impersonated us or am I being accused of being the impersonator? Androzaniamy (talk) 16:58, 26 July 2012 (UTC)

- Has someone impersonated us or am I being accused of being the impersonator? Androzaniamy (talk) 16:58, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
- Oh, thanks for letting me know. Have they been blocked? Androzaniamy (talk) 17:03, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
- Yes, blocked for ever, and if they make a new account that'll be blocked as well.--Gilderien Chat|List of good deeds 17:09, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
- Oh, thanks for letting me know. Have they been blocked? Androzaniamy (talk) 17:03, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
- How can they be blocked from making new accounts? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Androzaniamy (talk • contribs)
- If they use the same IP address all the time. Most don't, so no way to stop them. Just have to keep dealing with them as they keep returning. Dream Focus 17:13, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
- (edit conflict)Their IP address will have been auto-blocked, which means that they can't create any more accounts from that computer/house, and also if any accounts with a name similar to yours, mine, cybers or any other of Worm's adoptees are created they'll be blocked on sight.--Gilderien Chat|List of good deeds 17:15, 26 July 2012 (UTC)

The Tea Leaf - Issue Five
Hi! Welcome to the fifth edition of The Tea Leaf, the official newsletter of the Teahouse!
- Guest activity increased in July. Questions are up from an average of 36 per week in June to 43 per week in July, and guest profile creation has also increased. This is likely a result of the automatic invite experiments we started near the end of month, which seeks to lessen the burden on hosts and other volunteer who manually invite editors. During the last week of July, questions doubled in the Teahouse! (But don't let that deter you from inviting editors to the Teahouse, please, there are still lots of new editors who haven't found Teahouse yet.)
- More Teahouse hosts than ever. We had 12 new hosts sign up to participate at the Teahouse! We now have 35 hosts volunteering at the Teahouse. Feel free to stop by and see them all here.
- Phase two update: Host sprint. In August, the Teahouse team plans to improve the host experience by developing a simpler new-host creation process, a better way of surfacing active hosts, and a host lounge renovation. Take a look at the plan and weigh in here.
- New Teahouse guest barnstar is awarded to first recipient: Charlie Inks. Using the Teahouse barnstar designed by Heatherawalls, hosts hajatvrc and Ryan Vesey created the new Teahouse Guest Barnstar. The first recipient is Charlie Inks, for her boldness in asking questions at the Teahouse. Check out the award in action here.
- Teahouse was a hot topic at Wikimania! The Teahouse was a hot topic at Wikimania this past month, where editor retention and interface design was heavily discussed. Sarah and Jonathan presented the Teahouse during the Wikimedia Fellowships panel. Slides can be viewed here. A lunch was also held at Wikimania for Teahouse hosts.
As always, thanks for supporting the Teahouse project! Stop by and visit us today!

The Tea Leaf - Issue Six
Hi! Welcome to the sixth edition of The Tea Leaf, the official newsletter of the Teahouse!
- Teahouse serves over 700 new editors in six months on Wikipedia! Since February 27, 741 new editors have participated at the Teahouse. The Q&A board and the guest intro pages are more active than ever.
- Automatic invites are doing the trick: 50% more new editors visiting each week. Ever since HostBot's automated invite trial phase began we've seen a boost in new editor participation. Automating a baseline set of invitations also allows Teahouse hosts to focus on serving hot cups of help to guests, instead of spending countless hours inviting.
- Guests to the Teahouse continue to edit more & interact more with other community members than non-Teahouse guests according to six month metrics. Teahouse guests make more than twice the article edits and edit more talk pages than other new editors.
- New host process implemented which encourages anyone to get started as a Teahouse host in a few easy steps. Stop by the hosts page and become a Teahouse host today!
- Host lounge renovations nearing completion. Working closely with Teahouse hosts, we've made some major renovations to the Teahouse Host Lounge - the main hangout and resource space for hosts. Learn more about the improvements here.
As always, thanks for supporting the Teahouse project! Stop by and visit us today!

Disambiguation link notification for September 6
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited The Power of Three (Doctor Who), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Pond Life (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

The Tea Leaf - Issue Seven
Hello again! We have some neat updates about the Teahouse:
- We’ve added badges! Teahouse awards is a pilot project to learn how acknowledgement impacts engagement and retention in Teahouse and Wikipedia.
- We’ve got a new WikiLove Badge script that makes giving badges quick and easy. You can add it here. You can give out badges to thank helpful hosts, welcome guests, acknowledge great questions and more.
- Come join the experiment and let us know what you think!

|---|---|---|---|
| Average retention (weeks with at least 1 edit) | 5.02 weeks | 8.57 weeks | 1.7x retention |
| Average number of articles edited | 58.7 articles | 116.9 edits | 2.0x articles edited |

Over the past year almost 2000 questions have been asked and answered, 669 editors have introduced themselves, 1670 guests have been served, 867 experienced Wikipedians have participated in the project, and 137 have served as hosts. Read more project analysis in our CSCW 2013 paper
Last month January was our most active month so far! 78 profiles were created, 46 active hosts answered 263 questions, and 11 new hosts joined the project.
Come by the Teahouse to share a cup of tea and enjoy a Birthday Cupcake! Happy Birthday to the Teahouse and thank you for a year's worth of interest and support :-)

The article Daniel Pearson has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this newly created biography of a living person will be deleted unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.
If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. Lenticel (talk) 08:46, 30 April 2013 (UTC)

Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot
We are currently running a study on the effects of adding additional information to SuggestBot's suggestions. Participation in the study is voluntary. Should you wish to not participate in the study, or have questions or concerns, you can find contact information on the SuggestBot study page.
IMPORTANT CHANGES: We have modified the selection of articles SuggestBot suggests and altered the design to incorporate more information about the articles, as described in this explanation.
Note: All columns in this table are sortable, allowing you to rearrange the table so the articles most interesting to you are shown at the top. All images have mouse-over popups with more information.
Changes to SuggestBot's suggestions
We have changed the number of suggested articles and which categories they are selected from. The number of stubs has been greatly reduced, the number of articles needing sources doubled, and two new categories added (orphans and unencyclopaedic articles). We have also modified the layout of the suggestions and added sortable columns with various types of information about each article. The first two columns are:
- Views/Day
- Daily average number of views an article's had over the past 14 days.
- Quality
- Predicted article quality on a 1- to 3-star scale. Placing your cursor over the stars should give you a pop-up describing the article's quality (Low/Medium/High), current assessment class, and predicted assessment class.
The method we use to predict article quality also allows us to assess whether an article might need specific types of work in order to improve its quality. The work needed might not correspond to cleanup tags added to the article, since our method is not based on those. We have added five columns reflecting this work assessment, where a red X indicates improvement is needed. Placing your cursor over an X should give you a pop-up with a short description of the work needed. The five columns seek to answer the following five questions:
- Content
- Is more content needed?
- Headings
- Does this article have an appropriate section structure?
- Images
- Is the number of illustrative images about right?
- Links
- Does this article link to enough other Wikipedia articles?
- Sources
- For its length, is there an appropriate number of citations to sources in this article?
