This user continues to linkspam the chastity belt and the erotic sexual denial pages. As you can see by her "contributions" [1]

How can we begin the process to ban this user? zabadoh 23:17, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Look man it was just a simple misunderstanding that burned, understood? 24.188.203.181 21:48, 29 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I just didn't agree with some stuff and look what happened. 24.188.203.181 21:48, 29 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Removing a warning straight out would, in my book qualify as vandalism. If necessary I would report them to WP:AIV. Archiving so as to hide them is a bit more iffy though, I don't regard it in the same way because they are well within their rights to archive their talk. If they continue to vandalise (other than moving warnings to archives), report them to AIV and direct the dealing admin to the archives as evidence of other warnings given.

Hello: There's an RfC on Liquid Snake which you may wish to comment on. --Emufarmers^(T/C) 05:09, 1 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The conflict with User:Targetter and me (User:Ptkfgs) began with regard to a content dispute on British Shorthair. Should I add that to the Description section? (I have not participated in an RfC before). I do not want to endorse the description as-is, because I have not (and as far as I know, Targetter has not) been involved in a dispute on Solid Snake. —ptk✰fgs 05:17, 1 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've been paying attention to this mainly via the messages exchanged on talk pages; if this is actually several different conflicts going on, then you should make note of that; I'm not entirely sure whether you should modify the statement I made, or create a seperate one. (This is my first RfC as well, if it means anything; you may need to ask someone with more experience for guidance.) --Emufarmers^(T/C) 05:20, 1 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I will go ahead and alter the description; if you are willing to endorse the altered description I don't see how it could spoil the RfC. —ptk✰fgs 05:21, 1 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think what we're actually disputing is not his actions on Solid Snake and British Shorthair, but his total incivility towards the lot of us. I would classify this as one single incident. Also, it looks like we have the 2+ endorsements on our side, and Snake's opposition. Are we ready to proceed with discussion? --Targetter ^{(Lock On)} 06:14, 1 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think that's accurate; additionally, I think it is accurate to note that the conflict probably arose out of the two edit disputes named in the description. I feel that the description and the selection of diffs accurately reflects the nature of the dispute. Snake Liquid still appears to be editing his response, so we might want to hold on the discussion until he's finished. I am going to sleep at any rate, so I'll look again tomorrow. —ptk✰fgs 06:20, 1 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much for the warm welcome! :) --Fopkins | Talk 04:08, 2 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

HI,

I know that removing warnings is a violation of policy. Can you please show me where blanking one's talk page is otherwise prohibited? I have not been able to find it. Cheers,  :) Dlohcierekim 14:32, 5 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

What's stated at Help:Talk page#Etiquette certainly seems to imply that continually blanking one's own talk page goes very strongly against Wikiquette and civil discourse, although the actual policy regarding such removals seems to still be in development, depending on where you look. This is an issue that seems to burst up in fits and spurts; I've observed several instances of people removing messages constantly, and such disputes do tend to get ugly. --Emufarmers^(T/C) 14:41, 5 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for you response. I sometimes have trouble locating policies, etc. Cheers :) Dlohcierekim 15:00, 5 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your feedback ("strangely uplifting") about my Wikipedia user page. Also, thanks for your work in dealing with vandalism. I often wonder what motivates editors who put a significant amount of effort into dealing with vandalism. --JWSchmidt 17:35, 5 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

i am developing this article no need for asistance. Please do not be offended i am just saying that you dont have to help if you dont want to. Miles Fallconet 09:17, 7 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Generally, it's good form to note why you're making a reversion.

Also, I advertently reverted your reversion when I was fixing the infobox, so if you plan to change it again, could you take care not to go just back to the version with the messed up infobox. Thanks!--Birdmessenger 21:34, 8 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, looked at the history more closely and saw that you were trying to revert the broken infobox. My mistake.--Birdmessenger 21:40, 8 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

:) Nuts; and I was already working on a politely-worded response noting the circumstances. (Popups don't allow for customized edit summaries; I wouldn't have reverted with popups if I'd intended to revert your changes.) --Emufarmers^(T/C) 21:42, 8 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again. First, sorry for acting weird about being contacted. I'm somewhat paranoid about my presence on the Internet. I should probably set up alternate means for communication, as you suggested, but I have trust issues about giving that kind of thing out to the world.

Second, I really appreciate your vote of confidence. It really means a lot -- thank you. I'm afraid, however, that I don't have the time or the patience to be an admin. I feel admins are expected to conform to a high standard of helpfulness, one that I may be too lazy to adhere to, and I am rather one-sided in my contributions (which are overwhelmingly minor counter-vandalism edits). I've also only been here for around two months and I don't have a firm grasp of policy yet. I don't even know how much longer I'll be around, at least in a significant context, but I don't think I'll be leaving Wikipedia anytime soon. This is basically contingent on my workload in the next few months.

I also make numerous errors in my edits, and am probably not always as tolerant of vandals as I should be. Above all, I think putting the block button in my hands would be a bad idea, and I'd rather leave that kind of judgment up to experienced admins. Besides, the only benefit I can really see to adminship is this ability to block, which doesn't necessarily improve my chances of helping control vandalism. There are already scores of people who have become or will become administrators solely to lend a hand to AIV in times of large backlogs.

Sorry if I made this too long. I just wanted to let it be known that my recalcitrance to contact Wikipedians outside of Wikipedia is nothing personal, and that there are a number of reasons why I shouldn't be an admin.

I really do thank you for your suggestion. I've noticed many good edits by yourself -- maybe adminship is in your future. Again, I'm honored that you thought of me for this, and if you do want to keep this in a private channel, I can clear our conversation off my talk page. I may not be helping out in an administrative capacity any time soon, but I would be happy to add your user pages to my watchlist so I can help stop vandalism to them (not that I assume anyone would hold anything against you).

I am thankful for your gesture, and I wish you a happy editor tenure here. Maybe I will even be able to help you out down the road. If you ever need help with something, particularly an issue of vandalism, please feel free to contact me. -- Omicronpersei8 (talk) 22:51, 8 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I won't remove the tags if you at least allow users to see the article in its entirety. As of now, you continue to revert the article to its previous, disjointed version. Moreover, every time that I've provided external links, you or someone else has removed them. This is a very credible story of a very incredible man. I have my suspicions as to why you continue vandalize the article, which I will elaborate on the deletion page later. CDiPoce 01:51, 9 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

They stopped vandalizing an hour ago though. If they had been continuing to vandalize, yes, I could block without warning. --Woohookitty^(meow) 08:12, 9 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Could be. That page's patrolling is sparadic. Not as bad as WP:PAIN though. I swear sometimes that I'm the only admin patrolling that one. --Woohookitty^(meow) 08:25, 9 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

In most of the cases, they are new users and know nothing about red links yet. It is not a negative thing to remove those links. If they don't want they would just remove it or comment about it. I am an admin and i am here to make this place convivial and not to bother anybody. It is adviced to avoid red links anyway. At the end, it is up to the user h/self. Cheers -- Szvest 09:45, 9 August 2006 (UTC) ^{Wiki me up™}[reply]

I responded to your questions on my talk page, hope my answers help!  ALKIVAR™ ☢ 21:04, 6 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't really know what you mean but here is my view. Göring received the Grand Cross of the Iron Cross, which is a higher variant of the Knight's Cross (both are based on the same enactment) which in return is a higher variant of the Iron Cross (also same enactment). I therefore would classify him as a recipient of the Knight's Cross since this comprises the Iron Cross as well. By the way Göring did also receive the Knight's Cross on 30 September 1939 as well.MisterBee1966 10:17, 7 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think I addressed your concerns. Please review!MisterBee1966 12:54, 7 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Emufarmers, per your request on WP:RFR, I have enabled your account with the rollback feature. Please read documentation on the tool, and remember that it is to be used for the removal of vandalism only—it must not be used to aid edit warring.

If you have any queries, please do not hesitate to contact me at my talk page. Anthøny 02:01, 13 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! It looks much better. -Phil5329 (talk) 15:49, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't quite follow your oppose to Shoessss RFA You said: Plenty of problems, but the answer to Q5 is particularly perplexing
My response:

Hmm, I was thinking that was one of the better answers. What am I missing? Were you just referring to the awkward "reporter or reportee" comment, or are you saying that this is not a time for a no warning block? --SPhilbrickT 12:42, 4 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I see you responded at the RfA. Thanks, but I'm still confused - I elaborated at the RfA talk page--SPhilbrickT 17:21, 5 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

1. At WikiXDC in January, User:Harej proposed that DC submit a bid to host Wikimania 2012. A bid and organizing committee is being formed and seeks additional volunteers to help. Please look at our bid page and sign up if you want to help out. You can also signup for the bid team's email list.
2. To support the Wikimania bid, more events like WikiXDC, and outreach activities like collaborations with the Smithsonian (ongoing) and National Archives, there also has been discussion of forming Wikimedia DC, as an official Wikimedia chapter. You can express interest and contribute to chapter discussions on the Wikimedia DC Meta-Wiki pages.
3. To discuss all this and meet up with special guest, Dutch Wikipedian User:Kim Bruning, there will be a meetup, Wikipedia:Meetup/DC 16 this Tuesday at 7pm, at Capitol City Brewery, Metro Center. There will be a pre-meetup Wikimania team meeting at 6pm at the same location.

Apologies for the short notice for this meetup, but let's discuss when, where & what for DC Meetup #17. Also, if you haven't yet, please join wikimedia-dc mailing list to stay informed. Cheers, User:Aude (talk)

Hello Emufarmers, It was a pleasure meeting you at Wikipedia Higher Education Summit recently, and from our conversations I think you would make a good Campus Ambassador at UMass Amherst.

The first ever WikiProject National Archives newsletter has been published. Please read on to find out what we're up to and how to help out! There are many opportunities for getting more involved. Dominic·t 21:22, 20 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The WikiProject National Archives Newsletter July 2011 News Featured article contest This week, our first multilingual featured article contest was announced. We are aiming to improve the articles on the Declaration of Independence, Constitution, or Bill of Rights to featured or good status in English and other languages. Prizes for winners will be a gift package from the National Archives including a book of your choice or a tote bag, and other swag, plus, of course, a special barnstar. August 6 backstage pass Plans are in the works for a meetup and backstage pass event at the National Archives II facility in College Park, MD. There will be a regular social meetup, a discussion with Dominic about WP:NARA, a tour of the building by NARA staff, and then time for a scanathon and editathon in the research rooms and library until the building closes at 5 pm. Keep your schedules open! From our recent uploads: ...see more. Special requests: This section includes special requests from the NARA staff: Archival Recovery Team The National Archives' Archival Recovery Team (ART) is a team of law enforcement agents and archivists who investigate NARA's lost and stolen documents. They have received media attention ([2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9]) and would like to request an article be written for the team, if Wikipedians deem it notable. It is hoped that making more information about the group available on Wikipedia will increase public awareness of the documents they are seeking to recover. Ongoing Today's Document challenge The Today's Document challenge is an opportunity for Wikipedians to get their work related to National Archives holdings spotlighted on Archives.gov and the National Archives' tumblr. Each day the National Archives selects a document related to the day's date to showcase. The goal is to get articles related to the selected documents on the main page in ""Did You Know...?" the same day that the National Archives features the document. Alternatively, other appropriate articles related to National Archives holdings not already selected will be used for new documents of the day by NARA staff and posted to their tumblr. Wikisource WP:NARA has a sister WikiProject on Wikisource, WS:NARA. On Wikisource, editors transcribe, proofread, and arrange documents. This helps to make little-known documents more discoverable, or well-known documents more searchable, and improves accessibility. See the files being worked on. If you are new to Wikisource and would like to participate, there are experienced Wikisourcerors willing to be mentors. New contributions A list of some recent contributions to the project: Wikipedia District of Columbia Compensated Emancipation Act (Fetchcomms) Court of the Patriarchs (CutOffTies) Opposition to the overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom (Fetchcomms) Wikisource1 Memorial of Queen Liliuokalani in relation to the Crown lands of Hawaii Petition from women of Brookline Resolutions of the Joint Committee on the Washington Monument H. R. 4982 A Petition For Universal Suffrage Susan B.

We are working on a bulk upload to Commons of one particular cache of about 123,000 TIFF master files in the next few days! Once uploaded, these will require a massive community effort to help categorize the files on Commons and add them to articles on Wikipedia or transcribe them on Wikisource. Inclusion in the online catalog We are currently working on a system for including links to pages on Wikimedia projects in the National Archives online catalog. The Wikimedia projects are hosting an increasing number of transcriptions of National Archives documents and high-quality image and video files that are not available through NARA's own site. Links to these Wikimedia pages in the documents' actual catalog records will benefit the end user by providing them access to further resources about the documents, and they will also demonstrate the National Archives commitment to supporting Wikimedians' efforts. To stop receiving this newsletter, please remove your name from the list.

"Masterpiece Museum" Edit-a-Thon at the Smithsonian American Art Museum

Drawing from their vast vaults of art, the caretakers of the Smithsonian American Art Museum have meticulously drawn forth canvas jewels to import into Wikimedia Commons and Wikipedia articles. The museum directors and staff are excited about this project, and would love to have experienced Wikimedians help in the effort!

Hi! You're getting this message because you are or have been a Wikipedia Ambassador. A new term is beginning for the United States and Canada Education Programs, and I wanted to give you an update on some important new information if you're interested in continuing your work this term as a Wikipedia Ambassador.

You may have heard a reference to a transition the education program is going through. This is the last term that the Wikimedia Foundation will directly run the U.S. and Canada programs; beginning in June, a proposed thematic organization is likely to take over organizing the program. You can read more about the proposal here.

Another major change in the program will take effect immediately. Beginning this term, a new MediaWiki education extension will replace all course pages and Ambassador lists. (See Wikipedia:Course pages and Help:Education Program extension for more details.) Included in the extension are online volunteer and campus volunteer user rights, which let you create and edit course pages and sign up as an ambassador for a particular course.

If you would like to continue serving as a Wikipedia Ambassador — even if you do not support a class this term — you must create an ambassador profile. If you're no longer interested in being a Wikipedia Ambassador, you don't need to do anything.

Please do these steps as soon as possible

First, you need the relevant user rights for Online and/or Campus Ambassadors. (If you are an admin, you can grant the rights yourself, for you as well as other ambassadors.) Just post your rights request here, and we'll get you set up as quickly as possible.

Once you've got the ambassador rights, please set up at a Campus and/or Online Ambassador profile. You can do so at:

• Special:CampusAmbassadorProfile
• Special:OnlineAmbassadorProfile

Going forward, the lists of Ambassadors at Special:CampusAmbassadors and Special:OnlineAmbassadors will be the official roster of who is an active Ambassador. If you would like to be an Ambassador but not ready to serve this term, you can un-check the option in your profile to publicly list it (which will remove your profile from the list).

After that, you can sign on to support courses. The list of courses will be at Special:Courses. (By default, this lists "Current" courses, but you can change the Status filter to "Planned" to see courses for this term that haven't reached their listed start date yet.)

As this is the first term we have used the extension, we know there will be some bugs, and we know the feature set is not as rich as it could be. (A big wave of improvements is already in the pipeline. And if you know MediaWiki and could help with code review, we'd love to have your help!) Please reach out to me (Sage Ross) with any complaints, bug reports, and feature suggestions. The basic features of the extension are documented at Wikipedia:Course pages, and you can see a tutorial for setting up and using them here.

Communication and keeping up to date

In the past, the Education Program has had a pretty fragmented set of communication channels. We're trying to fix that. These are the recommended places to discuss and stay up-to-date on the education program:

1. The education noticeboard has become the main on-wiki location for discussion of the Education Program. You can post there about broad education program issues as well as issues with individual courses.
2. The Ambassadors Announce email list is a very low-traffic announcements list of important information all Ambassadors need to be aware of. We encourage all Ambassadors (and other interested Wikipedians) to subscribe to the list; follow the instructions on the link to add your email address.
3. If you use IRC regularly, or need to try to reach someone immediately, the #wikipedia-en-ambassadors ^connect IRC channel is the place to find me and fellow Ambassadors.

Ambassador training and resources

We now have an online training for Ambassadors, which is intended to be both an orientation about the Wikipedia Ambassador role for newcomers and the manual for how to do the role. (There are parallel trainings for students and for educators as well.)

Please go through the training if you feel like you need a refresher on how a typical class is supposed to go and where the Ambassadors fit in, or if you want to review and help improve it. If there's something you'd like to see added, or other suggestions you have for it, feel free to edit the training and/or leave feedback. A primer on setting up and using course pages is included in the educators' training.

The Resources page of the training is the main place for Ambassador-related resources. If there's something you think is important as a resource that's not on there, please add it.

Finally, whether or not you work with any classes this term, I encourage you to post entries to the Trophy Case whenever you see excellent work from students or if you have great examples from past semesters. And, as always, let students (and other editors!) know when they do things well; a little WikiLove goes a long way!

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Progressive States Network, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Progressive (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.

Adrianne Wadewitz edit-a-thons in Southern New England

As you may have already heard, the Wikipedia community lost an invaluable member of the community last month. Adrianne Wadewitz was a feminist scholar of 18th-Century British literature, and a prolific editor of the site. As part of a worldwide series of tributes, New England Wikimedians, in conjunction with local institutions of higher learning, have created three edit-a-thons that will be occurring in May and June. The events are as follows: May 21st at Northeastern University's Snell Library, in the Digital Scholarship Commons on the second floor May 22nd at Brown University's Rockefeller Library, in the Digital Scholarship Lab
