Help Project newsletter : Issue 4
The Help Project Newsletter Issue IV - September 2012 |
|
|
Hi, and welcome to the fourth issue of the Help Project newsletter. It's been another busy month in the world of Wikipedia help. The results from the in-person usability tests conducted as part of the help pages fellowship have been released. There are no great surprises here, the tests confirmed that people have trouble with the existing help system, and people looking for help on the same topic often end up at wildly different pages. Editors who experienced a tutorial and/or edited a sandbox as part of their learning were noticeably more confident when editing a real article. Drawing on that, three new "Introduction to" tutorials for new users have been created: referencing, uploading images and navigating Wikipedia. These join the popular existing introductions to policies and guidelines and talk pages. Feel free to edit them, but please do remember that the idea is to keep them simple and as free from extraneous details as possible. All three have been added to Help:Getting started, which is intended to be the new focal point for new editors, and will also be seeing a redesign soon. In other news, the Article Feedback Tool (AFT) can now be used to collect feedback on help pages. By default it has been deployed to all pages in the Help: namespace. It can be disabled on any page by adding Category:Article Feedback Blacklist, or enabled for pages in other namespaces by adding Category:Article Feedback 5 Additional Articles. Once a page has AFT applied, you can add feedback using the form which appears at the bottom of it. Feedback can be reviewed by clicking "View feedback" in the sidebar, or the "Feedback from my watched pages" link at the top of your watchlist. I'm now entering the final month of my fellowship, and will be focusing my efforts on making much needed improvements to Help:Contents, the main entrance point to our help system. It's been a pleasure working as a fellow, and I just want to thank all the people who have helped me or offered advice over the past months. That definitely won't be the end of my involvement in the Help Project though, I'll be sticking around as a volunteer and continuing to write this newsletter. Any comments or suggestions for future issues are welcome at Wikipedia:Help Project/Newsletter. If you don't wish to receive this newsletter on your talk page in future then just edit the participants page and add "no newsletter" next to your name. |

Help Project newsletter : Issue 5
The Help Project Newsletter Issue V - January 2013 |
|
|
Hello again from the Help Project! In the last newsletter (which was quite a while ago sorry!) I talked about my fellowship and the plans for improving the main portal page, Help:Contents. Well I'm sad to say that my fellowship is now over, but very happy to say that the proposed improvements to that page have been completed and implemented. Do check it out if you haven't already. Another important and frequently used help page, Wikipedia:Contact us, has also seen a significant revamp. You may recognise the design inspiration from the new tutorial pages. In project news, we now have a subscription to the "article alerts" service. Any deletion nominations, move discussions, or requests for comments on pages within the Help Project's scope will now show up at Wikipedia:Help Project/Article alerts. So that's definitely a page which project members might want to watch. Any comments or suggestions for future issues are welcome at Wikipedia:Help Project/Newsletter. If you don't wish to receive this newsletter on your talk page in future then just edit the participants page and add "no newsletter" next to your name. |
WikiProject:REHAB update
You signed up for WikiProject User Rehab
Hi there, I'm RDN1F. It's come to my attention that you've signed up for WikiProject Rehab, but since that time the project has retired. I've decided to take it upon myself to rejuvenate the project - but I could do with your help. If you are still willing to help mentor (or even give me a hand in bringing this project back!) leave a message on my talk page

Help Project newsletter : Issue 6
The Help Project Newsletter |
Issue VI - April 2013 |
Open Help Conference The Open Help Conference will be taking place June 15-19 in Cincinnati Ohio, USA. The conference includes two days of presentations and open discussions, followed by team "sprints" - collaborative efforts to write and improve documentation. It has been suggested to send a team from Wikipedia/Wikimedia: to share our own knowledge about help, learn from others in the open source community working on similar problems, and to carry out a sprint to improve some aspect of Wikipedia's help. There may be support available for volunteers to attend from the Participation Support program (and your editor is certainly hoping to be there!) Please join the discussion in Meta's IdeaLab if you're interested, and/or have suggestions about what we could work on. |

Policy discussion in progress
There is a policy discussion in progress at the Manual of Style which affects the capitalization of People Like Us, a question in which you previously participated. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. — LlywelynII 12:26, 12 February 2016 (UTC)
Why I haven't commented on MOS:SUPPORTS
Thank you for advising me of the situation with MOS:SUPPORTS. While I most certainly do have an opinion on the project and whether or not the page should be deleted, I am not at the moment permitted to share it with you, and I'm not confident that Dicklyon is either. Please note the identities of the filer and principal complainant and make of this what you will. Darkfrog24 (talk) 12:40, 12 February 2016 (UTC)

- This is a violation of your topic ban, DF. RGloucester — ☎ 14:31, 12 February 2016 (UTC)
- Is this a skirmish or a proxy battle in some great pathetic game? I am really wondering how the template fits the story. RG, you come across as very petty. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 14:53, 12 February 2016 (UTC)
- I'm not going to be abused by a topic-banned editor who has not respected the boundaries of the topic ban since it was imposed. Regardless, everyone is petty. To be human is petty. Even petty pebbles can become boulders, and I shan't allow this one to roll over me. RGloucester — ☎ 17:39, 12 February 2016 (UTC)

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Ricky81682 (talk) 01:32, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
Talk:It's the End of the World as We Know It (And I Feel Fine)
I invite you to RM discussion. I would love your improvement on consensus. --George Ho (talk) 06:20, 19 February 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks. I saw it. I even typed up a moderately long !vote before having doubts and then closed without saving. I might go back to it. I think I prefer to defer to sources should there be doubts. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 06:24, 19 February 2016 (UTC)
It's been almost a month, and the RM discussion is still open. Are you still interested? --George Ho (talk) 09:50, 16 March 2016 (UTC)
Upset
I might have conveyed this at the DRV, but I am very upset at User:Steel1943 for the Donald Drumpf DRV. He seems to have started it just to make some point about my NAC, and he's ignored the fact that it would've been closed the way I closed it by just about anyone. All he focuses in in his comments are the NAC, he never gives any substantive proof that it could have been closed differently. He is wasting a great deal of community time that could have been avoided if he hadn't started such a foolish DRV that clearly is not going to go his way. pbp 16:13, 8 March 2016 (UTC)
- @Purplebackpack89: {{Noping}} would have been a better way to not let me know that you posted this here. Now, I have to assume that you believe that my nomination was in bad faith and you have resorted to "behind-the-back forum shopping". Your comment here doesn't do anything to help your case in the discussion, but rather seems to be a desire to inspire drama. Steel1943 (talk) 16:30, 8 March 2016 (UTC)
-
- I kinda do assume that your nomination (and User:Godsy's endorsement of said nomination) was in bad faith, Steel, in that it ignores common sense. You and the two people who support the DRV being relisted are completely ignoring the fact that it would not have been closed any other way by anyone at any time, and are far, far too hung up on procedure. What will happen if this is relisted? It will produce the exact same outcome it did as it would have if I had closed it. You have yet to produce any shard of evidence that it wouldn't. So why even bother relisting it? pbp 17:57, 8 March 2016 (UTC)
-
- @Purplebackpack89: I join with the opinion of S Marshall in the Donald Drumpf DRV, and I'd suggest you take the advice in Sandstein's close. I don't have a response to the baseless claim that I acted in bad faith, if you truly want a response, raise the question in a different manner on my talk page.—Godsy(TALKCONT) 19:56, 8 March 2016 (UTC)
- pbp, clearly there was some point to be made about your NAC closes. Clearly you should take a step back. If in any doubt, ask User:Sandstein. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 21:40, 8 March 2016 (UTC)
About the WP:RFD name change
I didn't get a chance to answer your question in the discussion about when WP:RFD changed its name. According to the edit history of Wikipedia:Redirects for deletion, it looks like it was renamed in July 2006. Steel1943 (talk) 19:09, 8 March 2016 (UTC)
RFC on Real Robot title
Hi. Since you participated in a recently closed (no consensus) move discussion for Real Robot, I’m just notifying you of an RFC on that title. —67.14.236.50 (talk) 21:41, 12 March 2016 (UTC)
Old A10s in draftspace
Re this edit, a page can't be both "recently created" and "not edited for x amount of time". (Unless x is unreasonably short.) I didn't want to reply there directly since quibbling about technicalities would probably just be a distracting tangent. —Cryptic 02:39, 21 March 2016 (UTC)
Centralized ENGVAR, DATEVAR, CITEVAR discussion

Simon Lee Gallery listed at Redirects for discussion
An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Simon Lee Gallery. Since you had some involvement with the Simon Lee Gallery redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion if you have not already done so. Legacypac (talk) 03:58, 26 March 2016 (UTC)
SmokeyJoe you care to explain this page move? [[1]] that combines attacking me and pushing a perfectly reasonable article back into the userspace of a long departed user? Any gallery that reps a long list of bluelink artists passes GNG just fine. Legacypac (talk) 03:51, 26 March 2016 (UTC)
Another similar to Graffiki AfD
I noticed User talk:Sandstein/Archives/2016/March#end run around MfD; Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Richard d'Anjolell shares the same problem as Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Graffiki (User:Kemdflp/richard d'anjolell). As the closing administrator differs, after talking to Malcolmxl5 about Richard d'Anjolell, listing one or both (together if both) at DRV may be appropriate. What do you think?—Godsy(TALKCONT) 20:24, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
Reversion
Hi SmokeyJoe: A recent edit you performed at MfD has been reverted. You may want to check it out. North America1000 23:46, 1 April 2016 (UTC)
Question
Just wondered why you were not an admin or if there was some reason you did not want to be. Given your experience, your astute reasoning and your extensive work with deletion, you would be a fantastic asset to the community as an administrator. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 11:22, 5 April 2016 (UTC)
Congratulations!
Your prize for !voting in an MFD of a page started and maintained by Cinteotl is that I'm now asking you if you want to be named as a pary to the request for clarification on an Arbitration case that clearly needs no clarification!
I guessed your answer would be "Of course not!", but if you want to comment, the link is here.
Cheers!

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Regarding your edits to Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:The Ministry of Truth/Userboxes/Nat Soc, please use the preview button before you save your edit; this helps you find any errors you have made, reduces edit conflicts, and prevents clogging up recent changes and the page history. Below the edit box is a Show preview button. Pressing this will show you what the article will look like without actually saving it.

It is strongly recommended that you use this before saving. If you have any questions, contact the help desk for assistance. Your opinion if something should be deleted or not (and the comment explaining why, of course) always goes there where the other comments are, which is not necessarily at the end of the page.
