Help needed to clear the Feedback Dashboard queue

Hi Salma Vian, a project has been constructed and Maryana (WMF) was wondering if you'd be able to help out with a research project her colleagues are running on the effects of MoodBar/Feedback Dashboard. They're trying to see if getting a response to MoodBar feedback helps newbies edit more – but to do that, they need to (temporarily) raise the level of responses to as close to 100% as possible. (Don't worry; it's only a week-long test.) If you could help me and her spread the word among the other FD top responders you know to help us clear the backlog by June 19th, that would be awesome! More details about this test are on this page on Meta. Let her know if you have any questions and feel free to get in touch with other FD leaders about this if you want :) Cheers,

Sure! I will see what I can do to help. I made an account there now and I added my name. I will start working right now. I will also try to spread the word. Salma Vian (talk) 14:07, 12 June 2012 (UTC)

Thanks Salma Vian! (And Riley!) :) Maryana (WMF) (talk) 16:27, 12 June 2012 (UTC)

Feedback dashboard

Hey, we seem to be running into each other and responding at the same time (my fault) so I am going to respond to feedback at the bottom of the list (oldest feedback.)

Thanks for all the help!

Cheers,
Riley Huntley _talk No talkback needed; I'll temporarily watch here. 16:12, 12 June 2012 (UTC)

Yeah, I noticed that! It's my fault, actually! Anyway, that's a great idea. I will respond the newest feedback. Salma Vian (talk) 16:50, 12 June 2012 (UTC)

Can you tell me what I can fix in my page in order for it not to be breaching G11 unambiguous advertising and promotion so that I can restore it. Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dcapland (talk • contribs) 18:40, 12 June 2012 (UTC)

I'm revising the article again but it is warning me that I will have a speedy deletion again. I am completely changing it so it should be fine Dcapland (talk) 19:29, 12 June 2012 (UTC) Thanks

I'm extremely new to this so I don't know how to attach the page in order for you to see if it is okay. I removed the services so that it would be "less advertisements" and changed some of the wording because we aren't really looking to promote just to inform — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dcapland (talk • contribs) 19:40, 12 June 2012 (UTC)

User:Pacman451

This situation is all kinds of confusing, but I just wanted to make sure you were aware that the article in question, that is, CastleMiner, was not in fact created by User:Pacman451. He created the page Castle miner several days ago. but the information on that page essentially duplicated the content of the former article, so it was changed to a redirect to CastleMiner. He is confused, since whenever he tries to visit the page Castle miner, which he created, he is redirected to CastleMiner, which he did not created. The user seems to be under the impression that he either created CastleMiner, or that Castle miner was moved to CastleMiner, neither of which is true. I left a message at his talk page, so hopefully this will all be cleared up shortly. Cheers! Evanh2008 ^{(talk|contribs)} 22:41, 12 June 2012 (UTC)

Yeah, that was confusing. Even I got confused. When I responded to his feedback, I was kinda busy, so I didn't look at the article. But I just saw it. Maybe he didn't see the small note under the title "(Redirected from Castle mine)". Anyway, your message will explain everthing to him. Salma Vian (talk) 00:26, 13 June 2012 (UTC)

Guideline

Can you please guide me to create this article about Rephco Pharmaceuticals. I am willing to write this article in order to introduce my company to the world. In future I am willing to add further information that may contribute to the information vault in Wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alamfarial (talk • contribs) 10:04, 13 June 2012 (UTC)

Hmm...Read the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable and why was my article deleted. Then, I suggest writing your article with the help of the article wizard. Let me know if you need any other help. Salma Vian (talk) 14:44, 13 June 2012 (UTC)

Hi I created article The Unsung Heroes (Band)

How many notable source does an article need and if possible Could you edit out any parts and leave as a band stub and I will gather sources and expand the article.

Hi Salma , thanks for showing your willingness for helping me , I am new at this. I will ask you , as I will face problems. Jeetprasann (talk) 20:57, 13 June 2012 (UTC)

You're doing a fantastic job!

Salma, thank you so much from me and the research team for your work on clearing the Feedback Dashboard backlog! You and the other responders have doubled the number of responses to feedback in the past few days. I wanted to let you know that there are just 4 more days to go until the test ends. At that point, the MoodBar will be temporarily disabled, so you won't see any new feedback coming in for a little while (this is just to get a sample of users to compare to the ones who could give feedback and get responses from you – it'll be back soon). So get all of your responding in while you can, because you might have to go through a bit of Feedback Dashboard withdrawal next week :) Thanks again, and keep up the great work!

For your wonderful work on the Feedback Dashboard.  TOW  talk  21:16, 14 June 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for the welcoming

I didn't expect that message, so thanks for showing that kindness there. I never really enjoyed reading various tutorial pages to learn things; I prefer more to just learn as I go, but nonetheless, thank you for those links as well. I'll be sure to put them to good use. And you're welcome for the feedback. I just clicked on the "Editing Wikipedia..." out of interest because I didn't remember it being there and figured since I had just finished editing something I would do the little miniature survey. Nice to finally know someone here on Wikipedia though, so again thank you for helping us newbies out.

Feedback Dashboard Update

Hello, Salma Vian. New feedback should slow down and then stop in the next couple of days – the researchers temporarily turned off the MoodBar for people registering right now, in order to get a control sample for their test – so you'll have time to catch up. It will be turned on again on the 29th. I just hope you don't get too bored next week without feedback! Maybe visit the Teahouse? Cheers,
Riley Huntley _talk No talkback needed; I'll temporarily watch here. 18:13, 15 June 2012 (UTC)

That's great. At last I will have some time to respond to old feedback. I'm sure that I'm won't get bored next week. I'm have been planing for a WikiBreak. I deserve that, don't you think? Salma Vian (talk) 19:44, 15 June 2012 (UTC)

Ahahaha, you definitely do! I think we all do since summer is here and the sun will be shining, I just hope the vandals will take a WikiBreak! Thank you for everything, Wikipedia needs more users like you!

• Question: Junkie.dolphin is writing up a blog post about the MoodBar experiment to go in the WMF blog, and he'd like to talk a bit about the responders. Would you two mind if he used you as examples? You're both perfect because you used the MoodBar to give feedback as newbies and then graduated to the FeedbackDashboard response team :) Please let me know if you're okay with this! Thanks, Maryana (WMF) (talk) 17:37, 18 June 2012 (UTC)

I would be glad to answer any questions regarding the feedback dashboard! Thanks for the notification on my talk page. Cheers,

Thanks for dropping by...

...and leaving a message on my talk page. If you read my main user page, you'll see where I come from. In brief, after I got repeatedly attacked by User:Berean_Hunter here, here and here, when I tried to make a short edit in good faith, as a specialist and using my IP, I started to despair that this place is full of deletionists who love to delete and point the finger at good-faith users. At least a couple of other unbiased editors offered their opinion here and this kind of restored some of my faith in this place. To be honest, I am still in two minds whether Wikipedia is worth the effort of a specialist, or if it is just a nice hobby :( --H tan H epi tas (talk) 20:44, 15 June 2012 (UTC)

Translation of Wikipedia content

What are your ideas on translation of Wikipedia content in multiple languages? Guitaristrock (talk) 15:59, 18 June 2012 (UTC) Guitaristrock

To do that, you have to know this language. You shouldn't really use google translation (it gives wrong translations some time). And wrong language can hurt Wikipedia. Millions of people come and read articles here, it won't be "good" if they found bad language here :D. Let me know if you need any other help. Salma Vian (talk) 16:06, 20 June 2012 (UTC)
