Hello,
Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at the English Wikipedia.
I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org, so we can invite you in!
From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.
If you have any questions, please let us know at google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org.
Thank you!

Hello Sam Sailor,
Your script User:Sam Sailor/Scripts/logger.js is no longer functional because it attempts to get an editToken

Hiya. Are you still using easy-AfC-Redirect-and-Category-Response.js, which is currently not commented-out in your vector.js? If so, it may not currently function and may need work to make it work (if you catch my drift). Please reply here. Cheers :) Fred Gandt · talk · contribs

This year's Reviewer of the Year is Rosguill. Having gotten the reviewer PERM in August 2018, they have been a regular reviewer of articles and redirects, been an active participant in the NPP community, and has been the driving force for the emerging NPP Source Guide that will help reviewers better evaluate sourcing and notability in many countries for which it has historically been difficult.
Special commendation again goes to Onel5969 who ends the year as one of our most prolific reviewers for the second consecutive year. Thanks also to Boleyn and JTtheOG who have been in the top 5 for the last two years as well.
Several newer editors have done a lot of work with CAPTAIN MEDUSA and DannyS712 (who has also written bots which have patrolled thousands of redirects) being new reviewers since this time last year.
Thanks to them and to everyone reading this who has participated in New Page Patrol this year.

A recent Request for Comment on creating a new redirect autopatrol pseduo-permission was closed early. New Page Reviewers are now able to nominate editors who have an established track record creating uncontroversial redirects. At the individual discretion of any administrator or after 24 hours and a consensus of at least 3 New Page Reviewers an editor may be added to a list of users whose redirects will be patrolled automatically by DannyS712 bot III.
Set to launch early in the new year is our first New Page Patrol Source Guide discussion. These discussions are designed to solicit input on sources in places and topic areas that might otherwise be harder for reviewers to evaluate. The hope is that this will allow us to improve the accuracy of our patrols for articles using these sources (and/or give us places to perform a WP:BEFORE prior to nominating for deletion). Please watch the New Page Patrol talk page for more information.
While New Page Reviewers are an experienced set of editors, we all benefit from an occasional review. This month consider refreshing yourself on Wikipedia:Notability (geographic features). Also consider how we can take the time for quality in this area. For instance, sources to verify human settlements, which are presumed notable, can often be found in seconds. This lets us avoid the (ugly) 'Needs more refs' tag.

Hello Sam Sailor,
The first NPP source guide discussion is now underway. It covers a wide range of sources in Ghana with the goal of providing more guidance to reviewers about sources they might see when reviewing pages. Hopefully, new page reviewers will join others interested in reliable sources and those with expertise in these sources to make the discussion a success.
New to NPP? Looking to try something a little different? Consider patrolling some redirects. Redirects are relatively easy to review, can be found easily through the New Pages Feed. You can find more information about how to patrol redirects at WP:RPATROL.
Geographic regions, areas and places generally do not need general notability guideline type sourcing. When evaluating whether an article meets this notability guideline please also consider whether it might actually be a form of WP:SPAM for a development project (e.g. PR for a large luxury residential development) and not actually covered by the guideline.

Hi Sam Sailor, you are receiving this notice because you are listed as an active Articles for Creation reviewer.
Recently a list of reviewers by area of expertise was created. This notice is being sent out to alert you to the existence of that list, and to encourage you to add your name to it. If you or other reviewers come across articles in the queue where an acceptance/decline hinges on specialist knowledge, this list should serve to facilitate contact with a fellow reviewer.
To end on a positive note, the backlog has dropped below 1,500, so thanks for all of the hard work some of you have been putting into the AfC process!
Sent to all Articles for Creation reviewers as a one-time notice. To opt-out of all massmessage mailings, you may add Category:Wikipedians who opt out of message delivery to your user talk page. Regards, Sam-2727 (talk)

Hello Sam Sailor,
NPP Sorting can be a great way to find pages needing new page patrolling that match your strengths and interests. Using ORES, it divides articles into topics such as Literature or Chemistry and on Geography. Take a look and see if you can find time to patrol a couple pages a day. With over 10,000 pages in the queue, the highest it's been since ACPERM, your help could really make a difference.
In late February, Google added 5 new languages to Google Translate: Kinyarwanda, Odia (Oriya), Tatar, Turkmen and Uyghur. This expands our ability to find and evaluate sources in those languages.

William Mariner was an Englishman who lived in Tonga from 29 November 1806 to (probably) 8 November 1810. He later published Tonga Islands, an account of his experiences that is now one of the major sources of information on Tonga before it was significantly influenced by European culture and Christianity. Pictured is Mariner in Tongan attire.

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. The thread is Rude and aggressive comments from User:Sailor Sam. Thank you. I am letting you know since the thread opener unfortunately did not do so. Nil Einne (talk) 18:50, 15 November 2020 (UTC)
Please note that per WP:NOBAN, if an editor asks you to stay away from their talk page, this should generally be respected. If you feel there are problems with their editing which needs to be stopped, it's not unreasonable to bring a thread to ANI explaining that you could not properly discuss the matter with the editor to try and resolve the problems with their editing since they banned you.

So now that I've exposed your bizarre accusations as mere conspiratorial delusions pushed by far right admins, I would like you to either address line by line what was wrong with what I edited. We have passed the name calling phase and now you people need to answer for the censorship of factual information that you are grouping up to enforce. I included fact check links to national recognized news sources, links to press releases by the person themselves, and every quote was linked to and attributed to someone at the link. The things I added were the most important and consequential actions that person took in their career. Just because some far right extremist admin thinks it makes his right wing politician looks bad doesn't mean it needs deleted. That's in the Terms of Use. Just because factual information may be divisive, if it is factual and sourced properly with the appropriate tags, which mine was, then the deletion of it is considered vandalism. You jumping over to my talk page and writing what you did is harassment. After scrolling through drmies history, it is extremely clear that he is a right wing troll that has been shielding extreme right wing figures and politicians from having factual information about them on their wiki's. Thanks for participating in about a half dozen violations of the Terms of Use. FactZheker (talk) 16:38, 15 January 2021 (UTC)FactZheker
"You jumping over to my talk page and writing what you did is harassment."No. You posted a ((help me)) on your talk, and I responded to it via CAT:HELPME. You, obviously, did not like my response, but that does not make my response harassment. Your multitude of other aspersions such as
"exposed your bizarre accusations as mere conspiratorial delusions pushed by far right admins"and
"some far right extremist admin thinks it makes his right wing politician looks bad"and
"scrolling through drmies history, it is extremely clear that he is a right wing troll that has been shielding extreme right wing figures and politicians from having factual information about them on their wiki's"are, to me, amusing, but be aware that if you continue to lash out on Wikipedia in a manner that may be all too habitual from the different social-media platforms, you may eventually be made acquainted with our policy on personal attacks.
... "if it is factual and sourced properly with the appropriate tags, which mine was, then the deletion of it is considered vandalism."No, it is not vandalism. If you look at your edit in Special:Diff/1000095042/1000401561 you will notice that it was tagged as "possible BLP issue or vandalism" by the software. The subsequent reversion by Drmies was not vandalism.
"Thanks for participating in about a half dozen violations of the Terms of Use."we have procedures for perceived misconduct as well: in this case, file a complaint at WP:ANI explaining what TOS violations you believe I have made. Uninvolved admins and editors will then have a look at it. Sam Sailor 19:45, 15 January 2021 (UTC)
I have to say, I'm a little surprised to see that "fixed botched setup" of an archive to you means replacing the archive setup entirely; all that was necessary was changing a number. Am I missing something obvious? Primefac (talk) 10:33, 18 January 2021 (UTC)
