Wikipedia:Mediation Cabal/Cases/2009-07-20/List of charities accused of ties to terrorism

I know your busy, but I would appreciate if you would give me some sign that this issue hasn't been forgotten. I think i have been quite patient on this issue and I hope that this wont be taken as a sign that I dont care about the issues discussed. Thanks in advance. Bonewah (talk) 20:41, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

I am very sorry for my absence - unfortunately, real life sometimes takes priority and when you're as Wikiaddicted as I am, you have to FORCE yourself to stay away. :) You may want to get in touch with the other party via his talk page to see if we can restart the mediation. I'd be happy to write a posting for the RS board if you both agree. The V-Man ^{(Said · Done)} 21:12, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

WP:TVS, Neutralhomer, request for mediation

Scrolling back a few months, you might remember me and the issues with Neutralhomer reverting edits in TV-related articles that hadn't been approved by WP:TVS. Neutralhomer reverted (yet another) type of edit as "vandalism", and stated unambiguously on my talk page that "If you are going to remove information, you MUST get consensus from WP:TVS first."[1]

He also (finally) explained why he did not respond to our request for mediation:[2] "I am not going to change my opinion and you don't have any form of consensus (mediation isn't consensus) and refuse to go to WP:TVS. So, mediation is just a pointless endeavor."

He views WP:TVS as a the gatekeeper for Wikipedia TV article changes, and does not acknowledge the overriding Wikipedia rules and guidelines. His recent statements seem to be all we need to make a case. With Regards, Piano non troppo (talk) 01:39, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

Piano non troppo has refused to even go to AN to get consensus. He seems to be trying everything he can to "make a case" against me to, I guess get me blocked. This seems to be an editor concerned not with the rules, Wikiprojects, and consensus of Wikipedia, but removing information this user sites as unnecessary to them and taking revenge against anyone who reverts them. Clearly this user needs to calm down and get a Wiki-tude adjustment. - NeutralHomer • Talk • 01:56, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

Neutralhomer, calling legitimate disputes over content "vandalism" as you did here is unnecessarily hostile, and I suggest that you may want to consider a "Wiki-tude adjustment" yourself. Assuming that a user is out to get you personally as opposed to simply disagreeing with your stance on an issue is directly contrary to the assumption of good faith, the fundamental spirit which the collaborative creation of something like Wikipedia requires. Please refrain from using my talk page for name calling in the future. With regards to the dispute in question, I suggesting the opening of a actual community-wide request for comment, one more widely visible than a thread on TVS, to determine the true consensus. Regards, The V-Man ^{(Said · Done)} 06:15, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

Hello, I created the Southbeach Notation page, which has a number of banners across the top I think partly because there were insufficient references to substantiate that this is something that is being used in the world. There are now more references, including a reference (reference 2) to a third party book that lists this notation amongst others that are being used to intensify innovation. I would like these banners removed but do not want to do it myself lest that be seen as interfering with the proper vetting procedure, which I support. So please, if you feel the article is now fit can you remove these tags for me? Or if not, let me know what you think needs to be done to resolve it?

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion, guidelines for use at WP:MINOR). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and all users will still be able to manually mark their edits as being minor in the usual way.

For well-established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 20:37, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

WikiProject Good Articles Recruitment Centre

Hello! Now, some of you might have already received a similar message a little while ago regarding the Recruitment Centre, so if you have, there is no need to read the rest of this. This message is directed to users who have reviewed over 15 Good article nominations and are not part of WikiProject Good articles (the first message I sent out went to only WikiProject members). So for those who haven't heard about the Recruitment Centre yet, you may be wondering why there is a Good article icon with a bunch of stars around it (to the right). The answer? WikiProject Good articles will be launching a Recruitment Centre very soon! The centre will allow all users to be taught how to review Good article nominations by experts just like you! However, in order for the Recruitment Centre to open in the first place, we need some volunteers: Recruiters: The main task of a recruiter is to teach users that have never reviewed a Good article nomination how to review one. To become a recruiter, all you have to do is meet this criteria. If we don't get at least 5-10 recruiters to start off with (at the time this message was sent out, 2 recruiters have volunteered), the Recruitment Centre will not open. If interested, make sure you meet the criteria, read the process and add your name to the list of recruiters. (One of the great things about being a recruiter is that there is no set requirement of what must be taught and when. Instead, all the content found in the process section is a guideline of the main points that should be addressed during a recruitment session...you can also take an entire different approach if you wish!) If you think you will not have the time to recruit any users at this time but are still interested in becoming a recruiter, you can still add your name to the list of recruiters but just fill in the "Status" parameter with "Not Available". Co-Director: The current Director for the centre is me (Dom497). Another user that would be willing to help with some of the tasks would be helpful. Tasks include making sure recruiters are doing what they should be (teaching!), making sure all recruitments are archived correctly, updating pages as needed, answering any questions, and distributing the feedback form. If interested, please contact me (Dom497). Nominators, please read this: If you are not interested in becoming a recruiter, you can still help. In some cases a nominator may have an issue with an "inexperienced" editor (the recruitee) reviewing one of their nominations. To minimize the chances of this happening, if you are fine with a recruitee reviewing one of your nominations under the supervision of the recruiter, please add your name to the list at the bottom of this page. By adding your name to this list, chances are that your nomination will be reviewed more quickly as the recruitee will be asked to choose a nomination from the list of nominators that are OK with them reviewing the article. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me. I look forward to seeing this program bring new reviewers to the Good article community and all the positive things it will bring along. A message will be sent out to all recruiters regarding the date when the Recruitment Centre will open when it is determined. The message will also contain some further details to clarify things that may be a bit confusing.--Dom497 (talk) This message was sent out by --EdwardsBot (talk) 14:50, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

New deal for page patrollers

Hi Vicenarian,

In order to better control the quality of new pages, keep out the spam, and welcome the genuine newbies, the current system we introduced in 2011 is being updated and improved. The documentation and tutorials have also been revised and given a facelift. Most importantly a new user group New Page Reviewer has been created.

Under the new rule, you may find that you are temporarily unable to mark new pages as reviewed. However, this is nothing to worry about - most current experienced patrollers are being accorded the the new right without the need to apply, and if you have significant previous experience of patrolling new pages, we strongly encourage you to apply for the new right as soon as possible - we need all the help we can get, and we are now providing a dynamic, supportive environment for your work.

Find out more about this exiting new user right now at New Page Reviewers and be sure to read the new tutorial before applying. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 04:29, 13 November 2016 (UTC)
