Teylers Challenge

Hello Mabeenot, I saw you editing for the Signpost. I do not know if I am at the right place, but maybe you/others can mention the Teylers Challenge, see: Wikipedia:GLAM/Teylers/Multilingual Challenge and announcement writing contest. Greetings - Romaine (talk) 20:46, 22 January 2012 (UTC)

Signpost project interviews

Hi, I wonder if it would be helpful if you reminded interviewees that they should sign each individual answer, so that other editors' answers can go below each and be clearly identified. I think I got it wrong when I first replied to the disambiguation project interview a while back, and Grutness didn't sign their answers this time for the stub-sorting project (I added their name, and also bullets for clarity, before adding my answers). It's not immediately obvious, to someone coming to it for the first time, how the questionnaire page works (I think I assumed last time round that each editor had their own copy of it somehow). Thanks. PamD 13:49, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the feedback. I'll see what changes I can make for the next set of interviews. -Mabeenot (talk) 00:31, 2 February 2012 (UTC)

Hi, I've formally requested the article move you've previously discussed; please re-express your opinion here, thank you. Rostz (talk) 12:35, 3 February 2012 (UTC)

Interviews for WPPOLAND

You need a big notice asking people to sign and to not remove previous interviews. I think some people may think it is a space just for them. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk to me} 18:33, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

• Sounds like it's the same suggestion I was making a couple of posts earlier! How about something like:

THANK YOU FOR COMING TO THIS INTERVIEW PAGE

To reply to a question, please add your answer below the question and sign it.

Other editors will then add their replies below yours.

Perhaps?

And maybe add a couple of specimen answers below the first question:

"Sample answer 1 - signature 1"

"Sample answer 2 - sig2"

to make it really clear? PamD 19:09, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

Signpost interview

Thanks for the offer, but I'm going to decline -- I'm not really involved in the science fiction Wikiproject at all, though I do write a lot of articles on sf magazines. I don't think it's a very active project, in fact; there's no coordination nor much activity of any kind, so it might not be a good choice for a Signpost interview.

Women's History Month

Hi Mabeenot! I saw your post on my talk page (and else where) about the Signpost interview for the Women's History Project. FYI I am also writing a small opinion piece which will feature thoughts from Wikimedians and scholars on why more women should be participating to improve Wikipedia content. So just an FYI :) (They don't have to run at the same time, would be nice to spread it out for the month perhaps). Thanks for your efforts! SarahStierch (talk) 15:46, 25 February 2012 (UTC)

Thanks, and something to run by you

Hello Mabeenot, just dropping by to thank you for your stellar (and sadly, lonely these days) work at the WikiProject Report desk. It's really a great asset to the Signpost to have a report of such a consistent standard. I was wondering if you might take a look at this proposal for a sort of cross-wiki WikiProject report and give me your read on it. I thought it might run in some form under the aegis of the WikiProject Report desk, or reworked as a separate feature. Your opinion would be appreciated. Regards, Skomorokh 01:47, 28 February 2012 (UTC)

An idea that you might consider

Hi, Mabeenot. I've read some of your WikiProject Reports with interest, and it's great that you showcase our many excellent projects. However, I'm wondering how you'd feel about a report on WikiProject History, which is dormant and is difficult to revive. I'd like to talk more in depth about this later, but perhaps a Signpost article might get the WikiProject gang to help out and revitalize salvageable parts of the project. Thank you, dci | TALK 19:19, 3 March 2012 (UTC)

Mabeenot, really fine piece of work this week. I thought the maps-are-emotions thing might have been brought out more (even put in the title to attract those readers!); but no matter.

I just suggested somewhere a map at the bottom, but it's no big deal. I wonder whether you might in future consider a big map centred across the top ... but it might cause problems with the side-bar; just a thought. Well done. Tony (talk) 04:49, 1 May 2012 (UTC)

Indeed a nice piece! Mabeenot, I just wanted to notify you quickly - in particular if you had wondered about the readership numbers - that we linked to it on the official Wikipedia/WMF social media channels (Facebook, Google+, Twitter, Identi.ca). We might start featuring Signpost pieces more often again. (In related news, we are holding an IRC Office hour about blog.wikimedia.org on Wednesday, inviting suggestions for blog postings.) Regards, Tbayer (WMF) (talk) 01:54, 4 May 2012 (UTC)

Thanks! That's a nice bump you gave us. I hope you do decide to continue featuring Signpost pieces. I'll check out the office hour and think of some suggestions. -Mabeenot (talk) 04:49, 4 May 2012 (UTC)

Hi,

(copied from Signpost)

Is it ok if I added some images to this report? I haven't looked around much yet, but pics like these? MathewTownsend (talk) 14:50, 6 May 2012 (UTC)

What do you think? MathewTownsend (talk) 15:19, 6 May 2012 (UTC)

I was just typing you a reply. Some projects don't really lend themselves to having a gallery of pictures, so I'm not too concerned about including images for this article. The images you've chosen to the right will be fine, so feel free to add them if you like. -Mabeenot (talk) 15:23, 6 May 2012 (UTC)

I added enough images to sort of reach the bottom of the article. I tried to find images that were directly applicable to language articles, demonstrating the variety of languages, and with variation in type of image. Please remove or change any you don't like.

Counter-Vandalism Unit in the Signpost

The WikiProject Report would like to focus on the Counter-Vandalism Unit for a Signpost article. This is an excellent opportunity to draw attention to your efforts and attract new members to the project. Would you be willing to participate in an interview? If so, here are the questions for the interview. Just add your response below each question and feel free to skip any questions that you don't feel comfortable answering. Multiple editors will have an opportunity to respond to the interview questions, so be sure to sign your answers. If you know anyone else who would like to participate in the interview, please share this with them. Have a great day. -Mabeenot (talk) 04:46, 27 May 2012 (UTC)

Certainly. However I am rather busy until Friday. Would it be a problem if I were to answer the questions after that point. -- A Certain White Cat ^chi? 13:16, 27 May 2012 (UTC)

That's fine. The interview is scheduled to be published June 11. -Mabeenot (talk) 14:52, 27 May 2012 (UTC)

By the way is there any special reason why you want to interview me? The questions appear a bit generic because CVU grew out of my userspace. I am not complaining, just trying to establish what you want to know. :) -- A Certain White Cat ^chi? 18:12, 27 May 2012 (UTC)

I've invited several contributors from CVU to participate in the interview, which is why the questions are geared toward the many facets of the project. I wanted to make sure you were part of the interview since you started the CVU. I hope you'll be able to share with us why you started the CVU, some of the challenges associated with building it, and how it has grown. -Mabeenot (talk) 22:22, 27 May 2012 (UTC)

I'd be very interested. I'll try to see what I can do. I am unsure if this is what you are looking for though as the questions on the signpost page are a bit too generic for me to answer to the questions you poised here. Could you perhaps come up with questions specifically for me like the ones you asked here? This can be an interview for the following week's signpost if you like. perhaps a follow-up to this weeks signpost. What do you think? -- A Certain White Cat ^chi? 00:19, 28 May 2012 (UTC)

Your motivation for starting the project can be your answer to the first question, since you didn't really have to join the project like everyone else. I've added an open-ended question at the end where you can share other thoughts. Unfortunately, we have other projects scheduled for the following weeks, so we can't dedicate more than one week to a given project. -Mabeenot (talk) 01:34, 28 May 2012 (UTC)

WP Korea in the Signpost

Hello Mabeenot, and thank you for interviewing WP Korea. the interview page, however, couldn't attract many response from the project participants. May I ask you when is the due date for this interview? Could WP Korea be featured in Signpost if we could have one or two more interviewees? Many Thanks, --PBJT (talk) 17:43, 8 June 2012 (UTC)

I originally scheduled WP Korea for June 18, but it was postponed when nobody responded for about a week. Now that there are two replies, I've brought the project back to the schedule for August 27 after the big Summer Sports Series has concluded. If you can attract more participants, please go for it. Now you've got a couple months to work with. -Mabeenot (talk) 04:32, 9 June 2012 (UTC)

Thank you so much for postponing the due date, Mabeenot. I was interested in answering those questions, but since I'm new to the Wikipedia and have not contributed to any of the project's good articles I hoped that more experienced users could answer them. I left messages at some of participants' talk pages, and will update the rescheduled interview at the project's talk page. Hope the project could attract one or two more interviewee's by July 27 (assuming a month's buffer before its target date August 27.) Best, --PBJT (talk) 21:30, 10 June 2012 (UTC)

Robotics

Hi

Apologies, I have just seen your post about featuring the Robotics Project. It must have been tucked away between some others as I did not see it after I returned from holiday and it was archived without me even seeing it.

I can only apologise again and hope my not replying did not cause any issues. If there is a chance for something to go into a future edition I would be extremely happy to go ahead, though I would request an e-mail as well as I am only around for infrequent periods during July.

Notice of Dispute resolution discussion

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Dispute resolution noticeboard regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Just letting you know. Thanks!Fomeister (talk) 22:01, 30 July 2012 (UTC)

Wikiproject report

Hey there...I notice you're the regular writer for the signpost wikiproject report, and I was wondering if you would consider featuring Wikiproject Dispute Resolution at some point (hopefully before the end of June?). We're trying to get some visibility to increase participation in dispute resolution, and think this may help. Cheers, Steven Zhang ^{Get involved in DR!} 11:39, 30 May 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the update. I've added your request to the list and I can at least guarantee that WP Dispute Resolution will be included in next week's news sidebar and for several more weeks to come if you'd like. As for a full interview, the next few months are pretty tightly packed because we're trying to put together a special series this summer. One of our interviews preceding the series in June is not panning out, but there's currently another project ahead of you (WP Punk Music). If another space opens, I'll try to squeeze you guys in. -Mabeenot (talk) 00:05, 31 May 2012 (UTC)

Thanks a lot for your idea to feature the Wikiproject DR in the signpost...hopefully it does some good. Steven Zhang ^{Get involved in DR!} 03:15, 25 July 2012 (UTC)

Hey, um, are we in the signpost this week or next week? Steven Zhang ^{Help resolve disputes!} 05:10, 31 July 2012 (UTC)

Wikiproject Dispute Resolution is scheduled for August 13, the first project we'll feature after the summer sports series ends. -Mabeenot (talk) 05:20, 31 July 2012 (UTC)

Any chance it can be this week? It'd co-incide with changes to DRN, and we could really use the extra volunteers this month :-) Steven Zhang ^{Help resolve disputes!} 05:51, 31 July 2012 (UTC)

This week's Report is actually about to be published (it was supposed to run Monday, but the Signpost is running late as usual) and it'd be a strange break in the middle of the series anyway. I could still squeak a news item into the sidebar before the final call, so if you'd like to announce some changes at DRN send me a short blurb pronto. -Mabeenot (talk) 05:57, 31 July 2012 (UTC)

Hi Mabeenot. When I requested a link in the Projects Report for the GOCE September drive, I made a really stupid blunder and gave you a link to last year's September drive page. I've made a quick fix by redirecting the September 2011 drive page to the September 2012 page, but is it feasible to change the link in the projects report at this stage? The correct link is:

User_talk:Jan_eissfeldt#Spanish_or_Japanese_WikiProjects

moin Mabeenot, indeed i liked your international efforts very much and would be glade to help out with some contacts - for example via the translation committee teams on meta. however, i do recommend to pick up my point on email correspondence, because i do (so to speak) home-in on en.wp only once a week to orchestrate news and notes but have no "daily" activities here (at least not on wiki). thus, its only fair and in the best interest of sound procedure, if you can get hold on me more easily and mail usually does the trick :), all best --Jan eissfeldt (talk) 22:51, 28 September 2012 (UTC)

New article submission and copyright violation

Thank you for reviewing the article I submitted for inclusion in Wikipedia, Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/John Boultbee (Artist). The message I received indicated that the article included copyrighted information. I'd appreciate knowing to what that refers. I assume it refers to the illustration I have used. I retrieved that from Wikimedia Commons which indicates the image is in the public domain. If this is the case, I can remove the image. If it is something else, please let me know so I can amend the entry. Cheers.Pgboultbee (talk) 18:54, 6 October 2012 (UTC)

The copyright violation message I sent referred to the direct copying of the sentence "Some pictures of 1797 of cattle and sheep at Petworth, signed "J. Bolteby" are probably his." from this website as well as close paraphrasing other sentences from that website. Another editor tried to save the article by removing the sentence that was directly copied, but the article has again been flagged as a copyright violation by the user Jorgecarleitao. You'll need to contact him for further information. –Mabeenot (talk) 02:33, 7 October 2012 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:DW A Town Called Mercy titlecard.png

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.

A tag has been placed on File:DW A Town Called Mercy titlecard.png, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate, such as at articles for deletion. Under the specified criteria, where an article has substantially identical content to that of an article deleted after debate, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but 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 yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. MASEM (t) 21:18, 7 October 2012 (UTC)

Wikiprojects in the Signpost

Mabeenot,

Just to let you know I greatly appreciate your recent coverage of wikiprojects in the Signpost. I am ashamed to say that for the longest time I viewed them as annoying banners that I had to manouver around in order to read the contents of talk pages. Ottawahitech (talk) 18:29, 12 October 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the kind feedback. I hope you continue to enjoy reading about WikiProjects in the Signpost and maybe join a few projects covering topics that intrigue you. Happy editing! –Mabeenot (talk) 18:34, 12 October 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the speedy response. I will look forward to your continued coverage. Actually I have been hunting for quite some time for a wikiproject that not only interests me but that is also active (I have many inteterests) and that I can contribute to. So far, unfortunately, I have been unsuccessful. 18:55, 12 October 2012 (UTC)

About WikiProject Report!

Thanks for the great report! The implications are mind-blowing. Having being associated with WikiProject India, I would say you are spot on about India. However, there are areas of activity beating the trend such as the recent collaboration and grading of over one lakh unassessed articles in Wikipedia:WikiProject India/Assessment/Tag & Assess 2012.

Articles for creation needs YOUR help!

Articles for creation is desperately short of reviewers! We are looking for urgent help, from experienced editors, in reviewing submissions in the pending submissions queue. Currently there are 2539 submissions waiting to be reviewed and many help requests at our help desk. Do you have what it takes? Are you familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines? Do you know what Wikipedia is and is not? Do you have a working knowledge of the Manual of Style, particularly article naming conventions? Can you review submissions based on their individual merits? If the answer to these questions is yes, then please read the reviewing instructions and donate a little of your time to helping tackle the backlog. You might wish to add {{AFC status}} or {{AfC Defcon}} to your userpage, which will alert you to the number of open submissions. Plus, reviewing is easy when you use our new semi-automated reviewing script! Thanks in advance, Nathan2055talk - contribs

SignPost

Hello,

Today's Article for Improvement is one WikiProject that could really benefit from having an interview on the Signpost on it. Currently, few editors have signed up, and fewer are active on it. But seeing that it might be possibly going to the Main Page in due time (per this), it would be very useful for the Project to have an interview on the project before that happens so that we could interest other seasoned editors to help around.

Would it be possible then if you could give us an interview for TAFI (for as early as you could- The project would benefit a lot more if editors come on in early than late) so more editors can come and help?

Thanks and cheers, TheOriginalSoni (talk) 23:22, 29 December 2012 (UTC)

Thanks

Hi Mabeenot. My term as GOCE lead coordinator comes to an end in a few hours, and I just wanted to thank you for helping us by making sure our notices get published at the right times. Thanks indeed for all your work on the Signpost. Have a great year in 2013. Yours, Simon. --Stfg (talk) 14:44, 31 December 2012 (UTC)
