I have asked at Wikipedia:Good article reassessment/Haymarket affair/1 for review of the good article status you gave to Haymarket affair at Talk:Haymarket_affair/Archive_3#Good_article_nomination_on_hold. I'm sure you are aware of the controversy surrounding this article. I will review the discussion at Talk:Haymarket_affair/Archive_3#Good_article_nomination_on_hold and notify the numerous wikiprojects listed on the talk page.

I just wanted to let you know that I have had to delete the above image that you uploaded. It was brought to my attention that the image comes from another website. Although we don't consider an additional copyright on images that are faithful reproductions (i.e. Amazon thumbnails) of the cover, this was a posed photograph of the entire book. For this reason it fails the reproducibility requirement of WP:FUR (i.e. someone could make a free version of the image if they had access to the book). My apologies if this is in fact an image you created yourself. --Errant (chat!) 11:56, 4 March 2012 (UTC)

Hi. When you recently edited Sparrow (email client), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page App Store (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Hello Steven, I am sending this message to editors who signed up for the Women's History Month Edit-a-thon. Please help spread the word. HighBeam Research--an online, pay-for-use search engine for newspapers, magazines, academic journals, newswires, trade magazines and encyclopedias has agreed to give free, full-access, 1-year accounts for up to 1000 Wikipedia editors to use. HighBeam has access to over 80 million articles from 6,500 publications, most of which are not available for free elsewhere on the internet. Aside from a free 7-day trial (credit card required), access to HighBeam would cost $30 per month or $200 per year for the first year and $300 for subsequent years, so this is a wonderful, free, no-strings-attached opportunity. To qualify, editors must have at least a 1 year-old account with 1000 edits. Please add your name to the WP:HighBeam/Applications account sign-up page if you are interested. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 18:43, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
Thank you for the welcome. — Isarra (talk) 20:50, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
Hi Steven hope your well. I currently have the above up for GAC having worked on it for the last few months. Leno has recieved a extensive PR and my intensions are to take it to FAC.

Could you oblige with a quick review? -- Cassianto (talk) 21:32, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
Thank you for the barnstar :)
Just want you to know that you played an instrumental role in my becoming a Wikipedian, and I'm eternally grateful for it. Even if we sometimes disagree on the inclusionist/deletionist split :) I'll always look up to your amazing contributions to the sum of all human knowledge. You rock.

Hello Steven! Thank you for letting me know about my mistakes. I am new to Wikipedia and was not aware of that. I will continue trying to make improvements though! danni1125 (talk) 18:07, 23 March 2012 (UTC)
Hi Steven. On the donkey article, you might want to look at the diffs of Dana boomer's last edit prior to the extensive work JLAN did to create the present version. Dana was working on this article quite a bit until JLAN stepped in (and well, me too, as I have concerns about JLAN). At that point, Dana stepped out. You might want to look at the work she did and see what can be restored and salvaged. Because I filed an ANI on JLAN due to his involvement on Donkey, Burro and Large Black (pig), I hesitate to do much content work on the donkey article myself. But if others see useful edits, well, just to draw your attention to Dana's work. Montanabw(talk) 18:41, 27 March 2012 (UTC)
Not sure if adding sections to "talk" page is best way to reply to you, or if wikipedia has any sort of IM system? x3
In any event, yeah I just noticed the Project Glass -> Siri link due to browsing the topic. But on the topic of fixing disambiguation links broadly, is this something anyone has built automated support for?
For example, a bot which scans looking for links to disambiguation pages, displays them for editors to decide which second-level link is appropriate, and then fixes the link in-situ? Or is the modus operandi to visit pages and plow through edits by hand? A quick scan over the project page didn't clarify that bit for me.
Put simply, if you've got a "which of these links is the right one?" flashcard webapp, I could put some time into using it. If you don't, but there are good 'bot building blocks out there, I could guage how hard such a beast would be to make. What's the state of this presently?

Hello Steven Walling,
This is a reminder to all indicated participants for my Wikimania admin panel that I need your answers to the questions by next Wednesday (the 18th). If this is not a good time for you, and need a little extra time, please let me know by talkpage or by email as soon as possible. If you know anyone who still would like to participate and meets the criteria of being an administrator and their wiki not already taken, please let them know as this is the final week to signup. If you have any questions, please stop by my enwiki talkpage linked in the signature. I also still need to know your prefered contact page. :) Thanks. -- DQ (ʞlɐʇ) 02:10, 13 April 2012 (UTC)

Hi, Steven. I am new to Wikipedia, so I don't know whether this is the right way to answer to your message. Anyway, enjoy the nice cat.
Regarding my Skype's edit, their "blog" seems to be the single offcial site where they "explain" the new features of new versions. And in the forum url, it's some staff which explains that automatic updates cannot be disabled. Who else could better know about an automatic defect (even if they want to include it amongst the list of "features") of a program than the manufacturer ifself?
Anyway, thank you very much for you attention and recommendation, which I will try to remember in the future.
Best regards,
- José, now Pawiko

Hi, thanks for your help. I didn't want to make any edits that were too big since the two sources I snagged seemed to offer different ideas of their history. I think I just need to find some more sources and figure out what happened one. One source mentions Europeans, while another just Ethiopians.

Hey VanTucky, It's been almost 5 years since you first welcomed me to Wikipedia! I don't think we've directly interacted since then, but I did realize some years ago that you're now Steven Walling (well, I guess you always were, but you know what I mean) and are working for the Foundation. So, belated congratulations to you. Thanks for the advice you gave Scott at User talk:Scottdelaney1067#In response to your feedback. Dennis Brown and I have been trying to rein him in a bit, but I don't know how effective we've been. Hopefully input from other editors will help him get the message. He has enthusiasm and the potential to be a valuable editor, but still seems a little too gung-ho – Dennis and I have expressed the concern that he'll run up against someone who'll bite back at him hard. I responded to your message to him on his talk page with a suggestion of possibly getting a mentor at WP:CVUA. Perhaps you could help keep an eye on him. Thanks.

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Vvoice august cover.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 13:16, 26 June 2012 (UTC)

I feel that we support similar goals here, and I am sure other editors do as well.

Hi Steven, I went ahead and created project teams for each of the general editor retention areas people have expressed an interest to work in. Please review the team lists here: Wikipedia:WikiProject_Editor_Retention#Project_teams. I have assigned you as the leader of the "Research and data analysis" team. Assuming you are interested in taking on this role, please notify the members of your team, and verify each editor is interested in being on the team. I expect that there might be some shuffling around of roles and teams at first, but once the teams are settled, I will co-ordinate with the teams leads to put together goals and a basic project plan to make sure that the project as a whole is successful and makes a measurable, positive difference for Wikipedia. Thank you for for your involvement... Zad68

Dear Author/Steven Walling My name is Nuša Farič and I am a Health Psychology MSc student at University College London (UCL). I am currently running a quantitative study entitled Who edits health-related Wikipedia pages and why? I am interested in the editorial experience of people who edit health-related Wikipedia pages. I am interested to learn more about the authors of health-related pages on Wikipedia and what motivations they have for doing so. I am currently contacting the authors of randomly selected articles and I noticed that someone at this address recently edited an article on Artificial Insemination. I would like to ask you a few questions about you and your experience of editing the above mentioned article and or other health-related articles. If you would like more information about the project, please visit my user page (http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Hydra_Rain) and if interested, please reply via my talk page or e-mail me on nusa.faric.11@ucl.ac.uk.

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article EthicalWiki is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/EthicalWiki until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. SmartSE (talk) 18:42, 22 July 2012 (UTC)

Hi, Steven! I noticed you waded into the toxic gumbo mess today. I know how much you know about its prior history, but the edit is controversial, and has been reverted by several editors, only to be added back by a decidedly uncivil IP. There's no place for it in the article about this dish; all it discusses is a folk use of the word, and might have a place in the hurricane's article at best. Unfortunately, none of the involved editors started a discussion of the edit, so I've done that now in the hope we can arrive at a civil consensus. DoRD has already semi'd the article once to stop the IP, but we can but hope discussion will help. --Drmargi (talk) 03:27, 2 September 2012 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Geoloqi, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Enterprise and Mobile (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.

I've had a stab at revising
as you suggested. Because of the large differences beween the species used, I thought this was best organised on a 'bird' basis. I have included all the birds in the Poultry article, although some might dispute whether all birds on here should be classified as 'Poultry'. I've tried to arrange the lists in the following order - Species (most common if known), List of breed or species, Family taxon, Uses or products, Housing system, Welfare, Other.
Let me know what you think. DrChrissy (talk) 16:30, 16 September 2012 (UTC)

Hello, you are receiving this message because you are currently a participant of WikiProject Good articles. Since the creation of the WikiProject, over 200 user's have joined to help review good article nominations and contribute to other sections of the WikiProject. Over the years, several of these users have stopped reviewing articles and/or have become inactive with the project but are still listed as participates. In order to improve communications with other participants and get newsletters sent out faster (newsletters will begin to be sent out monthly starting in October) all participants that are no longer active with the WikiProject will be removed from the participants list.
If you are still interested in being a participant for this WikiProject, please sign your user name here and please help review some articles so we can reduce the size of the backlog. If you are no longer interested, you do not need to sign your name anywhere and your name will be removed from the participants list after the deadline. Remember that even if you are not interested at this time, you can always re-add your name to the list whenever you want. The deadline to sign your name on the page above will be November 1, 2012. Thank-you. 13:34, 22 September 2012 (UTC)
Sorry for having to send out a second message but a user has brought to my attention that a point mentioned in the first message should be clarified. If user's don't sign on this page, they will be moved to an "Inactive Participants" list rather then be being removed from the entire WikiProject. Sorry for any confusion.--Dom497 (talk)15:24, 22 September 2012 (UTC)

Hey Steven Walling. I'm dropping you a note because you've been using the Page Curation suite recently - this is just to let you know that we've deployed the final version :). There's some help documentation Wikipedia:Page Curation/Introductionhere that shows off all the features, just in case there are things you're not familiar with. If you find any bugs or have requests for new features, let us know here. Thanks! Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 12:02, 24 September 2012 (UTC)
There is not sufficient evidence presented in the current article to prove "religious" purpose in this structure. Opinion, no matter how popular it may be, should not be presented as fact. If there is additional evidence to back up such a statement, it should be included in the article. Blu — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.72.196.40 (talk) 02:07, 27 September 2012 (UTC)

Hi Steven. A while ago you suggested we expand the Poultry template. I worked very hard on this and then submitted it for comments. There was only one from an editor, Stemonitis. Prior to this, Stemonitis and I had got close to an edit war over some taxonomic details on Pain in invertebrates (taxonomy is not my specialist subject, but I wanted the article to be clear to the non-taxonomist reader). Anyway, Stemonitis suddenly began editing various articles I started and then made comments on the template, making me feel this had become a vendetta. I made changes to the Poultry template according to comments by Stemonitis and another editor I asked to have a look for an independent opinion. But, this is still apparently not enough and Stemonitis has reverted to the old template which is misleading and inaccurate. Please could you look at the new Poultry template I developed and let me know what you think. All the best. __DrChrissy (talk) 17:01, 10 October 2012 (UTC)

Hiya Steven. About 4 years ago, I created and popularized Template:Uw-softerblock. Unfortunately, the message became longer, more complicated and scarier over time, so I've just created Template:Uw-softestblock. You can see the results at User talk:Ferdiesfoodlab, for instance. I know from Wikimania and elsewhere that you guys have done a lot of work on evaluating warning messages; do you have any suggestions on this one? - Dank (push to talk) 21:18, 27 October 2012 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for your contributions to skeuomorph. I wrote dubious (which you undid) on the image of the car with fake wood siding because it needs a citation. Please see Talk:Skeuomorph#Examples_and_images:_with_citations_only_please. Everybody (including me -- the fake floorboards are my original photograph) have great ideas for illustrating skeumorphs. That's the problem. The article is a victim of its own sucess. As User:K8_fan wrote on Talk:Skeuomorph "I've been monitoring this article for quite some time ... it's such a cool term that loads of new users visit here and add one - and the list gets longer and eventually gets pruned. Rinse, repeat." Really everything needs citations on this page, otherwise it gets sever unreferenced content creep.

Might you reconsider the RFPP? It would only be for a week or two, this is turning into an edit war between the two factions. Most contribs are not participating in the discussion on the talk page and keep re-adding the information without discussion - ignoring BRD altogether.
If you would, please revert the most recent and lock it down so they will be forced to discuss the disputed information. --Jeremy (blah blah • I did it!) 07:10, 3 February 2013 (UTC)
I see that you deleted someone's entry that did not have sources. Revision as of 18:38, 3 February 2013 (edit) Mohawkvellum (talk | contribs)
I tried to see if I could contact them--I suspect it is an indigenous person unfamiliar with how to do the sourcing required.
There is a series of a dozen essays from professional scholars and indigenous people that iMediaEthics, an award winning news site that is published by our foundation Art Science Research Laboratory, co-founded with my late husband Stephen Jay Gould that should be suitable and support Mohawkvellum's statement . Since I already am engaged with James Cantor to restore a section on this Jared Diamond bio page that was stable for many years, I fear, if I add anything from this series, of being accused of conflict of interest even though Mondo Times and Google Publisher etc recognize iMediaEthics as a legitimate media business news site.
Can you advise? Here is an example http://www.imediaethics.org/News/170/Rebutting_jared_diamonds_savage_portrait__.php and here http://www.imediaethics.org/News/152/The_new_yorker_rsquos_second_crisis_of_conscience__.php . This blog, Savage Minds, is consider authoritative in Pacific anthropology and endorses the Sillitoe, Kuwimb essay as most authoritative on the subject of Diamond's claims about tribal warfare in the New yorker article that led to Diamond being sued.
As I posted on the Talk page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Jared_Diamond , the timing of this deletion of an entire section, in perception or reality, is suspect as it occurred on the very day Diamond's book pub date. Also with precision, on the same book launch day, the the word "forthcoming" was removed from the front of Diamond's new book title as if intimately part of the launch.
A Tiggarjay commented from a notice board that he would help "sort things out" but I am left with dealing with Cantor on my own with no feedback? I am inexperienced with conventions or battles (I see Cantor is very familiar ). I would really appreciate some help and advice? Thank you.

I think the only reason I was declined the request to have the article on Jat Airways semi-protected was because your were less familiar with the airline and other variables regarding it--I'm sure if you were familiar with the basics on Airbus's delivery queue, you would recognize that the IP edits are basically trying to exaggerate the airline's orders of new aircraft. If you look at the edits of IP 92.60.225.228 (see below line 152 upon clicking the link you posted) that you posted when you declined the request, it can be seen that he has not only deleted my correct references and added false ones (e.g. the Bhutan Air reference), but he/she changes the ATR-72-500 order to ATR-72-600, and likewise from Airbus A319 to Airbus A319E w/sharklets, Airbus A320 to Airbus A320neo, etc (see the fleet section if you are interested in reconsidering your decision). In the references that I put, the airline is only leasing ATR-72-500s as well as regular A319s and A320s. The A320neo and A319E with sharklets are false information because a) in none of the references does it say so, and b) the neo/sharklet versions are recently announced models and the queue for orders of the type are so occupied that even if Jat were to order them now, they would never come before 2017 at the very earliest; as you can see in the article's fleet section, the IP editors claim that such models are being delivered in 2015, and of course they put this in place of a reference I put that was once there. All I ask for, if it still seems impossible to see that the IP users are vandalizing (including deleting my references and replacing them with off-topic ones), is whether it's okay for me to send another request for the sake of not trying to get into an edit conflict with them.

It's been a full year since the Teahouse opened, and as we're reflecting on what's been accomplished, we wanted to celebrate with you.
Teahouse guests and hosts are sharing their stories in a new blog post about the project.
1 year statistics for Teahouse visitors compared to invited non-visitors from the pilot:
Metric | Control group | Teahouse group | Contrast |
---|---|---|---|
Average retention (weeks with at least 1 edit) | 5.02 weeks | 8.57 weeks | 1.7x retention |
Average number of articles edited | 58.7 articles | 116.9 edits | 2.0x articles edited |
Average talk page edits | 36.5 edits | 85.6 edits | 2.4x talk page edits |
Average article space edits | 129.6 edits | 360.4 edits | 2.8x article edits |
Average total edits (all namespaces) | 182.1 edits | 532.4 edits | 2.9x total edits |
Over the past year almost 2000 questions have been asked and answered, 669 editors have introduced themselves, 1670 guests have been served, 867 experienced Wikipedians have participated in the project, and 137 have served as hosts. Read more project analysis in our CSCW 2013 paper
Last month January was our most active month so far! 78 profiles were created, 46 active hosts answered 263 questions, and 11 new hosts joined the project.
Come by the Teahouse to share a cup of tea and enjoy a Birthday Cupcake! Happy Birthday to the Teahouse and thank you for a year's worth of interest and support :-)

Congratulations on exporting a tiny bit more American priggishness to a global audience. When you're done celebrating this little victory against potential offensiveness, feel free to do as thorough a job as I foolishly bothered to do in tidying up the loose ends effected by moving the page from where it had errantly lain, seldom remarked upon, for just shy of four years.

We really need a better tutorial that newbies can be asked to go through -- the kind that autogenerates a userpage for you at the end based on your completion. That would make this sort of drama harder to conjure up. [regarding: the recent U.Toronto psych class drama] – SJ +
The problem is much more complex than that, in my experience.
We actually do now have pretty comprehensive training guides (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Training) and a budding list of low-stakes things for newcomers to do right away (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:GettingStarted). Even programs like IEG experimented with this kind of thing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:India_Education_Program/Tutorial
Even if these students had gone through an onboarding process with a user page wizard and successful completion of 1-10 first decent article edits, they're going to cause a fuss if they make nearly 1,000 new pages on a certain topic in a coordinated area.
The attitude of existing editors tends to change when you move from a naturally and independently motivated group of people creating thousands of new items of their own volition, to one where people are joining because someone made a coordinated campaign. It automatically creates a situation where the recruiting entity is viewed as responsible for the quality of their work. Whether that is fair or not is debatable, but it's the reality of the situation.
The conflict is exacerbated by the nature of page creation and uploads. With edits to existing pages, where it is in fact easier to remove than to make, the cost of experimentation and even outright vandalism is lower. The burden of tagging and deleting objects like new pages and files is, both technologically and in community policy, a much heavier one.
Thanks for uploading File:Dolphin-browser-screenshot.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 04:09, 18 April 2013 (UTC)

We noticed though that when you edited IA Writer, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Pages (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.

Thanks for your upload to Wikipedia:
You provided a source, but it is difficult for other users to examine the copyright status of the image because the source is incomplete. Please consider clarifying the exact source so that the copyright status may be checked more easily. It is best to specify the exact Web page where you found the image, rather than only giving the source domain or the URL of the image file itself. Please update the image description with a URL that will be more helpful to other users in determining the copyright status.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source in a complete manner. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page or me at my talk page. Thank you. Message delivered by Theo's Little Bot (opt-out) 21:16, 22 April 2013 (UTC)
SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!

Just letting you know that I am proposing a merge of cow pony into stock horse. "Cow pony" is just an old slang colloquialism. Unlike polo pony, the word is not really used much by practitioners today. As far as adding it to a list or something, see what I did at List_of_horse_breeds#Types_of_horse.

Your clear conflicts of interest show through on the Warby Parker page. I will take it over. You should avoid editing it going forward unless edits are approved beforehand. Additionally, you should stay very very far from discussing anything relevant to price or marketing which you have clearly emphasized in your copy. Zippypie (talk) 18:59, 11 May 2013 (UTC)
Woah there cowboy, watch the language and be civil. Ad hominem attacks have no place here. I have the page in my watched list and will be monitoring it due to the obvious (and honestly admitted) conflicts of interest admitted by previous editors. I am not making any threats I am simply politely informing you of this beforehand. Additionally, it is bad form to revert verifiable edits which are properly sourced. I hope you will be more civil going forward. Zippypie (talk) 23:15, 11 May 2013 (UTC)

Hi there Steven Walling! I've noticed you have yourself listed as a member of the Food and Drink Wikiproject. Unfortunately it looks like the project has been slowly sliding into inactivity except for a couple of people. That makes me a sad potato, and nobody likes a sad potato amirite?
If you'd like to turn my frown upside down, can you do two small things?
First off, go here and add ((Tick)) ( ) next to your name if you're still part of the project.
Second, go to the project talkpage and participate in a discussion about how to make the project more active, and how to go about making articles in our area of interest a lot better.
You don't want to make me cry, do you? Potatoes have a lot of eyes you know. So come on, join in! :)

AutomaticStrikeout ? is wishing you a Happy Memorial Day! On this day, we recognize our fellow countrymen who have fought our nation's battles for the past several hundred years, protecting our freedom and safety. We remember those who paid the ultimate price and we support those who continue to willingly sacrifice their safety for the sake of their country. Happy Memorial Day!

We have changed the number of suggested articles and which categories they are selected from. The number of stubs has been greatly reduced, the number of articles needing sources doubled, and two new categories added (orphans and unencyclopaedic articles). We have also modified the layout of the suggestions and added sortable columns with various types of information about each article. The first two columns are:
The method we use to predict article quality also allows us to assess whether an article might need specific types of work in order to improve its quality. The work needed might not correspond to cleanup tags added to the article, since our method is not based on those. We have added five columns reflecting this work assessment, where a red X indicates improvement is needed. Placing your cursor over an X should give you a pop-up with a short description of the work needed. The five columns seek to answer the following five questions:

Hi Steven,
Thank you for contacting me about the goat breed articles. I have responded to your comments on the corresponding talk page.
Neelix (talk) 22:03, 2 July 2013 (UTC)
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Urban coyote is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Urban coyote until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. AndyTheGrump (talk) 13:31, 3 July 2013 (UTC)

Incidentally, if you want your actions to be clearly understood as being taken in a personal capacity [5], then it might be helpful if you avoid going out of your way to mention that you work for the WMF when explaining them. Like, for example, in your message to me announcing that I had been reverted.
Oh, and for the record, admins are generally encouraged to discuss issues first rather than simply reverting each other. I announced my change at WP:VE/F, and would have been happy to discuss it further, but you felt a need to revert first and then tell me how I was clearly wrong. Frankly, your approach to this issue felt more than a little rude. Dragons flight (talk) 01:18, 10 July 2013 (UTC)

We have changed the number of suggested articles and which categories they are selected from. The number of stubs has been greatly reduced, the number of articles needing sources doubled, and two new categories added (orphans and unencyclopaedic articles). We have also modified the layout of the suggestions and added sortable columns with various types of information about each article. The first two columns are:
The method we use to predict article quality also allows us to assess whether an article might need specific types of work in order to improve its quality. The work needed might not correspond to cleanup tags added to the article, since our method is not based on those. We have added five columns reflecting this work assessment, where a red X indicates improvement is needed. Placing your cursor over an X should give you a pop-up with a short description of the work needed. The five columns seek to answer the following five questions:
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. We appreciate that you have signed up to receive suggestions regularly, your contributions make Wikipedia better — thanks for helping!
If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please let us know on SuggestBot's talk page. Regards from Nettrom (talk), SuggestBot's caretaker. -- SuggestBot (talk) 23:34, 24 July 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for your reply re: "new user mode". I have responded to the original Teahouse post, and also have a direct reply to your message on my talk page.
In short, this whole experience has turned up a number of resources, and I see the challenge, at this point as: how do we put this motley mess of widgets together into a reasonable toolkit? I see your tool, "new user mode" as an important, integral part of that toolkit, and that the problem is not so much the tool itself, but rather in how the tool was being used.
I know I've got some pretty lengthy replies, so please, no rush, but when you have a moment, you're welcome to consider my thoughts and see if we can work together on a simple but effective solution.

We are currently running a study on the effects of adding additional information to SuggestBot's suggestions. Participation in the study is voluntary. Should you wish to not participate in the study, or have questions or concerns, you can find contact information on the SuggestBot study page.
IMPORTANT CHANGES: We have modified the selection of articles SuggestBot suggests and altered the design to incorporate more information about the articles, as described in this explanation.
Note: All columns in this table are sortable, allowing you to rearrange the table so the articles most interesting to you are shown at the top. All images have mouse-over popups with more information.

Whack! You've been whacked with a wet trout. Don't take this too seriously. Someone just wants to let you know that you did something silly. |
I'm giving both of you a whack for that exchange on my user talk page. I'm putting you on guard that I'm armed, and I'm ready to use it. I will get the two of you to play nice. You may check out my response ... you will find that I've decided to take preemptive action, and established a Debate Arena to make sure the discussion that the two of you clearly need to have, with each other, happens fairly, fully, and that neither of you get hurt in the process. I know full well you're really on the same side of things, but I've got to get the both of you to see that. I'm doing this for your own protection. I'm not going to let a discussion turn abusive on my page. I insist on treating the both of you, fairly, equally, and professionally. We will get to a resolution of your differences. I know both of you mean well ... you just can't see that, yet. You will, trust me. I've been an underdog in an unfair fight far too long to let it happen to someone else.
GabrielD2 (talk) 14:20, 22 August 2013 (UTC)
I don't know if you've seen my previous comments on your exchange or not, but if you have, then I must apologize that I won't be able to moderate your discussion. Unfortunately, I've gotten some bad news and will have to be leaving soon. Thanks for your help, and I wish you the best of luck in your future affairs. GabrielD2 (talk) 12:17, 23 August 2013 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Hemiscyllium halmahera, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page West Papua (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.

The Half Million Award | |
For your contributions to bring Sheep (estimated annual readership: 937,000) to Featured Article status, I hereby present you the Half Million Award. Congratulations on this rare accomplishment, and thanks for all you do for Wikipedia's readers. -- Khazar2 (talk) 16:41, 30 August 2013 (UTC) |
The Million Award is a new initiative to recognize the editors of Wikipedia's most-read content; you can read more about the award and its possible tiers (Quarter Million Award, Half Million Award, and Million Award) at Wikipedia:Million Award. You're also welcome to display this userbox:
![]() | This editor won the Half Million Award for bringing Sheep to Featured Article status. |
If I've made any error in this listing, please don't hesitate to correct it; if for any reason you don't feel you deserve it, please don't hesitate to remove it; if you know of any other editor who merits one of these awards, please don't hesitate to give it; if you yourself deserve another award from any of the three tiers, please don't hesitate to take it! Cheers, -- Khazar2 (talk) 16:41, 30 August 2013 (UTC)
P.S. Came so close to a Million Award--I thought for sure this one would make it. Is there a peak season for sheep interest that I should check? -- Khazar2 (talk) 16:41, 30 August 2013 (UTC)

Hi Steven, I just realized you sent me a welcome/thank you msg many months ago - I meant to respond, though I guess I don't hit send..or rather, 'Save Page' - with enough gusto..you got to really click it! haha. Hope all is wellKtwestside (talk) 09:18, 5 September 2013 (UTC)
Hey Steven. Thanks for all of your work on the 'pedia! I don't think you'd mind if I pointed you in that direction. Thanks again. Best regards! Biosthmors (talk) pls notify me (i.e. ((U))) while signing a reply, thx 13:32, 17 September 2013 (UTC)
I've been having similar issues with her edit wars for over a year in the catspace for Roman Catholic dioceses. She keeps trying to depreciate the established category structure in favor of her own which removes the 'Roman Catholic church', and asserts that the Catholic church didn't exist prior to the reformation. This is problematic for the wikipedia as a whole. She's been sufficiently persistent to get into edit wars and disputes with a variety of editors on these pages. Would you support a topic ban? I'd like to start a request for comment on her editing and editing habits. I'm sure she's a fine editor - just not on Roman Catholic pages where she continually pushes for her POV. Thanks for your time. Benkenobi18 (talk) 02:05, 19 September 2013 (UTC)

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Bergamasca (sheep) may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "()"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

Hi I have checked the source on this (McDonald's bio of Giap, based largely on interviews with him)and confirmed that the name of Giap's first wife appears there as it does in the Wikipedia article. It may of course be wrong as I don't believe McDonald spoke Vietnamese; he was basically a military historian so the detail's of Giap's early family life were perhaps not of primary importance to him; or he might easily have got his notes mixed up over such a detail. Anyway, that's what that source says. If there are more reliable sources which give a different name then I've no problem with changing it. Thanks Mccapra (talk) 08:52, 7 October 2013 (UTC)

Hi sorry to bother you with my repeated posts earlier. I misunderstood something posted on another page so should not have bothered you with this at all. Also your talk page kept telling me my message could not be posted, so I kept resending it.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Happy People: A Year in the Taiga, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Ket and Trapper (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.

Greetings. Because you have already cast a vote for the 2013 Arbitration Committee Elections, I regret to inform you that due to a misconfiguration of the SecurePoll we've been forced to strike all votes and reset voting. This notice is to inform you that you will need to vote again if you want to be counted in the poll. The new poll is located at this link. You do not have to perform any additional actions other than voting again. If you have any questions, please direct them at the election commissioners. --For the Election Commissioners, v/r, TParis
![]() In past Backlog Drives, the goal was to reduce the backlog of Good article nominations. In the upcoming drive, another goal will be added - raising as much money as we can for the Wikimedia Foundation. How will this work? Well, its pretty simple. Any user interested in donating can submit a pledge at the Backlog Drive page (linked above). The pledge should mention the amount of money the user is willing to donate per review. For example, if a user pledges 5 cents per review and 100 nominations are reviewed, the total donation amount is $5.00. At the time this message was sent out, two users have submitted pledges for a total of 8 cents per review. All pledges, no matter how much money, are greatly appreciated. Also, in no way is this saying you must make a pledge. |
Glad I refrained. Did not feel right. Dlohcierekim 06:11, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

It was WhitePages (company). The initial GA review here was a quick-fail with basically the only justification being that I had a disclosed COI. I pinged another editor here, who raised the issue at the GAN talk page here and within hours we had apologies all around. Now it's my 15th GA and he even gave me a barnstar and noted on the GAN Talk page how my approach is different than other COIs they encountered.
It makes me very happy just talking about it, because it's such a great mini turn-around story, where a potentially contentious situation turned into oodles of Wiki-love, good-faith and more GA articles. CorporateM (Talk) 16:06, 3 December 2013 (UTC)

Hello Steven, I remember you of course. I am not at all expert on the West Coast non-marine fauna, but I would say this handsome beast is indeed a banana slug -- sometimes they are all tan, brown, or tan with darker spots; they don't have to be yellow. However there are actually three species of banana slug, all of them in the genus Ariolimax. Since you were in or near redwood forest by the coast (?) this might possibly be Ariolimax columbianus, but I have to dash off to see someone this morning and will have to look up more info later today or tomorrow. Talk to you later, Invertzoo (talk) 14:29, 13 January 2014 (UTC)
Again my guess is Ariolimax columbianus. Supposedly the position of the pneumostome (breathing pore) behind the mid-point of the mantle (the saddle-shaped area) helps to identify this species, but it also may be the case that the three species can't be separated with certainty without dissection of the internal genitalia. How big was this critter? I believe that Ariolimax columbianus is the biggest of the three banana slug species. More info here. Invertzoo (talk) 13:59, 14 January 2014 (UTC)
My pleasure Steven, sorry I could not be more precise on the species level. Invertzoo (talk) 21:13, 19 January 2014 (UTC)
Sorry I didn't notice your comment before. I've added some reasons to Template:Draft cleanup to make it clearer; perhaps I should just delete the generalized message if no reason is given. Wnt (talk) 20:10, 20 January 2014 (UTC)
