From Dani808

I was wondering if when you had time you could look at my talk page to help with something I am trying to submit? You were very helpful before on the Patrick Ching one. If you don't have time I understand. I was trying to add 808 viral and it deleted and I wasn't even given a chance to respond. That same person seems to do that to everyone, says it is promotional or complains but doesn't actually help. I followed the exact format of Buzzfeed. It is the same kind of company even has a mentor from Buzzfeed. Plenty of notable viral content. I wish I could at least see the old post but when they delete it like that no one else can review and help out. Thank you! Dani808 (talk) 23:06, 2 August 2016 (UTC)

Hi Dani808. Okay, I have had a look. The problem was not the format. It was notability. Please read Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies). I do not think 808Viral is notable. If 808Viral has had plenty of significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources, then it can have an article.

Another problem is your apparent conflict of interest. Please read Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure and Wikipedia:Plain and simple conflict of interest guide.

Finally, have you been paid to write any other articles or add any content at Wikipedia? If so, it is important to declare that.

Best, Anna Frodesiak (talk) 00:24, 3 August 2016 (UTC)

Naming convention for lists of adminship requests

I prefer Wikipedia:2016 displays of prima facie evidence of power-hunger :-) It's not too soon, right? --NeilN ^{talk to me} 19:35, 9 August 2016 (UTC)

Making a Daniel Keem Wikipedia Page

I was planning on making a Wikipedia page on Daniel Keem, but I got a notification that you had deleted a page with a similar title. I was wondering if this was because of notability reasons, or some other problem. Thanks, Westporter (talk) 00:03, 15 August 2016 (UTC)

Hi Westporter, and welcome. You can read all about it here: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Daniel Keem. If there is anything you ever need or have any questions, please ask. Thank you, and happy editing. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 00:07, 15 August 2016 (UTC)

Yes I created that one, but sadly it got deleted. Hawkeye75 (talk) 09:14, 15 August 2016 (UTC)

Problem user

Hawkeye75 has immediately returned to their old ways post-block. In spite of advice given to them during their block, they immediately began edit-warring to their preferred version post-block, in spite of numerous requests to open discussion and in violation of BRD. They are clearly NOTHERE. Please look into their behavior and consider a longer, possibly permanent block. Regards, James (^talk/_contribs)

Hi James Allison, please remember to sign your posts. If you don't know, I have created a discussion about you here. Hawkeye75 (talk) 09:18, 15 August 2016 (UTC)

I agree James Allison, something needs to change. Hawk has now filed an erroneous and vindictive 3rr report. A community ban for Hawk is on the horizon. --Adam in MO Talk 11:22, 15 August 2016 (UTC)

I think that what you guys are doing is something called WP:WIKIHOUNDING. I seem to have offended you from an interaction and now you are just looking at my user contributions and reverting them or coming here. Hawkeye75 (talk) 17:17, 15 August 2016 (UTC)

Hawk, you would, yet again be mistaken about the policy. We are trying to help you build an encyclopaedia and you seem to only respond with edit warring and accusations. You are still new here and you would do well to take the advice of more seasoned editors like Anna and and Neiln. Please read wp:brd so you can become familiar with how to discuss things on the talk pages and stop filing vindictive reports on the noticeboards. The choice is yours. You can cooperate with us here or you can go down the road. It is up to you. --Adam in MO Talk 18:04, 15 August 2016 (UTC)

What metaphor are you using by saying "down the road"? Hawkeye75 (talk) 18:33, 15 August 2016 (UTC)

You'll be community banned from editing here. I'd like to stress that no one wants that. We want to work with you for everyone's mutual benefit. Adam in MO Talk 19:34, 15 August 2016 (UTC)

You aren't an administrator so you have no right to threaten me with a ban. Hawkeye75 (talk) 20:51, 15 August 2016 (UTC)

"Statements of intent to properly use normal Wikipedia processes, such as dispute resolution, are not threats." Quoted directly from the policy you linked. Also administrators don't issue bans, the community does. You would know that had you read the link I posted. Adam in MO Talk

Everyone, again, needs to drop this - being combative, even when you think what you're saying or how you're feeling is justified, just gets peoples backs up. This isn't aimed at anyone in particular, but please take a step back and move on to improving another part of the project -- samtar ^{talk or stalk} 21:02, 15 August 2016 (UTC)

Samtar talks sense. I would suggest to all that disengagement is the best plan. I know this is difficult because you work on the same articles, but please try.

As I am concerned that further actions or even comments by me regarding Hawkeye75 may be seen by him as persecution, if there are further problems, taking it to WP:AN/I is best to allow other admins to decide how to proceed. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 01:27, 16 August 2016 (UTC)

August 2016

I think that my ban was a bit unfair. I recently made a noticeboard section against someone who called another editor a "moronic fuckface" (here) and he only received a 31 hour ban. This is extremely lightweight compared to my ban which was for "accidentally calling someone by the wrong gender". I kindly suggest you review your ban lengths in the future. Hawkeye75 (talk) 09:23, 15 August 2016 (UTC)

@Anna Frodesiak: Hawkeye75 (talk) 05:07, 16 August 2016 (UTC)

After getting to know the administrator's noticeboard a little better, my ban was so heavy compared to others. I'm not sure why I was banned without explaining myself or without going to arbitration. The report should of been posted at AN instead of your talk page. You were the only user deciding the ban and no one else had a say in it. Hawkeye75 (talk) 05:12, 16 August 2016 (UTC)

Hawkeye75, first, you were blocked, not banned. Second, you haven't gotten to know the admin's noticeboard well enough. There was no way your incident was "going to arbitration". Third, no, it should not have been posted at AN or ANI. Frankly, the incident was simple didn't need any community input on how it should be handled. Fourth, most blocks are done without any other input. I probably block a lot more than Anna and 99% of my blocks are as a result of a report from a single editor. Fifth, please, please drop this, stop visiting admin noticeboards, and focus on editing articles. --NeilN ^{talk to me} 05:29, 16 August 2016 (UTC)

About a page change

Hello,

I wanted to as user EntroDipintaGabbia about an edit to the page "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epidermal_growth_factor_receptor". That user has changed (on 14 july 2016) line a paragraph at line 22, changing "lung cancer" into "squamous-cell carcinoma of the lung". Where does that information come from? Is this information confirmed?

Regards... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.247.204.181 (talk) 11:34, 16 August 2016 (UTC)

Hello. Please forgive any delay in responding. I am having trouble viewing pages right now. I will reply as soon as possible. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 13:52, 16 August 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for your patience. The diff is this. The user may have looked at the source which was already there (Walker F, Abramowitz L, Benabderrahmane D, Duval X, Descatoire V, Hénin D, Lehy T, Aparicio T (November 2009). "Growth factor receptor expression in anal squamous lesions: modifications associated with oncogenic human papillomavirus and human immunodeficiency virus". Hum. Pathol. 40 (11): 1517–27. doi:10.1016/j.humpath.2009.05.010. PMID 19716155.) and made a correction to the Epidermal growth factor receptor article. The user may have made the change based on a guess or original research or knowledge. It is hard to say without looking at the source. If you can find the source online, then you can check. Alternately, you can ask the user at the user's talk page: User talk:EntroDipintaGabbia or post either at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Genetics or Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Molecular and Cell Biology. I hope this helps. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 00:22, 17 August 2016 (UTC)

Thank you so much, Zero. You put a heck of a lot of effort into that also. Two things that drive me crazy at Wikipedia: biting newcomers, and what this one was, wasting Wikipedia resources. This one was a doozy. It must have cost hours and hours in editor keystrokes and reads. Directed elsewhere, that could have meant dozens of new articles. Such a waste! I hope one day, the community adopts a payback system for such cases. I really think such losses should be quantified and the editor compelled to repay before anything else.

Semi-protect for Hotel California

Can you semi-protect the page to persistent genre warring? 123.136.106.44 (talk) 00:53, 30 August 2016 (UTC)

I'd hate to protect for such a small thing. I'll tell you what, I'll keep an eye on the page, and the instant an IP changes it, I'll post at their talk asking them to stop or else all IPs will be prevented from editing it for a month.

Click here to read this message

Happy Easter again! Taking this away from the article talk page because it's getting a bit mastodon in there - are we talking at cross purposes about WP:CLICKHERE? Saying that readers would be daft not to work it out seems like the opposite of what WP:CLICKHERE is telling us. We should be assuming some amount of daftness in the opening sentences of the article.

And sorry, I didn't mean to ignore the offline/online question, I just read it as rhetorical. I've no idea what the proportions of web to print to screenreader to offline are, and can't find any stats lying around, but sure, I assume it's minimal. MOS:SELFREF does seem to generally tend towards "write generically because content will be reused in all kinds of ways", though, rather than telling us not to worry about it because most people will be reading the website, and those that aren't can figure it out. --McGeddon (talk) 10:37, 1 September 2016 (UTC)

Hi there, McGeddon. Merry Christmas! :) You may be right, or not. Only the community can say for sure. We must consider those guidelines you point out, plus common sense, who most readers are, what likely percentage are offline, etc, etc... If you really feel strongly about this, consider getting it settled once and for all by making a clear support A, B, or C choice at the article talk, like the following. Everyone knows the facts by now, so there is probably no need for further persuasion:

Considering the expectations off offline readers, should the image caption be:

• A - This image reveals a hidden Easter egg when the hedgehog...
• B - In online versions of this article, this image reveals a hidden Easter egg when the hedgehog...
• C - Click the damn hedgehog.

To be frank, you can expect a firm but respectful A from me, (although at this point I am leaning toward C ). I expect Smuckola and others will go A too, so consensus may be hard to reach for your pick, B. Considering that, it may be best to forget it. Best, Anna Frodesiak (talk) 23:36, 1 September 2016 (UTC)

There's also D, "replace the image with something that works in print". A full vote on this seems a bit overblown, but this kind of thing does just stick out to me, the idea that someone would be keenly learning about a subject from an Xth-generation version of this amazing free public resource we're putting out - leafing through a book in a school library, listening to an article on headphones, preparing a slideshow to teach a class, excavating blasted ruins in 4837AD, etc - and they'd have to stop and think "what, that doesn't make-- oh, right, I guess this came from a website, I'll just have to skip this bit".

It's a very small corner of WP:WORLDVIEW, but it bothers me when it seems to get shrugged off as we're-all-web-browsing-Wikipedians-here. I'll have a think about whether an RfC is a good idea. --McGeddon (talk) 07:53, 2 September 2016 (UTC)

Hi McGeddon. I see your point. I am just weighing it along with all considerations and end up at A. Also, with Smuckola and others I think clearly in the A camp too, this is a longshot for you. It might be best to drop this one. I don't think an RfC is worth it, but a simple !vote at article talk isn't much effort and may put things to rest. It is your call. Best wishes, Anna Frodesiak (talk) 08:00, 2 September 2016 (UTC)

Also, could you please enlighten me at the article talk about my last questions starting with "...Right now, the caption reads..."? Many thanks, Anna Frodesiak (talk) 08:03, 2 September 2016 (UTC)

Given the lack of response to my previous comments on that talk page, I think a simple !vote would just result in you saying what you've said above and Smuckola shouting me down for not dropping the stick.

I assumed your question was aimed at Smuckola, as the "activated" wording is theirs. I don't follow your questioning of "another", though - what needs explaining? --McGeddon (talk) 08:47, 2 September 2016 (UTC)

Hi McGeddon. You may be right. I'm sorry Smuckola wasn't more polite. I think he just lost patience.

The question was directed to anyone who could answer.As for "another", I see only one image. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 08:55, 2 September 2016 (UTC)

There are two easter eggs in the image - a link to an egg photo when you click the hedgehog, and a floating "I'm a hedgehog" browser tooltip when you just hover your mouse pointer over it. --McGeddon (talk) 08:58, 2 September 2016 (UTC)

Ahhh, I see. Okay. And "activated"? Anna Frodesiak (talk) 09:01, 2 September 2016 (UTC)

No idea, that was Smuckola's edit ("accuracy") and they reverted me when I changed it back to the clearer "clicked or tapped on". --McGeddon (talk) 09:11, 2 September 2016 (UTC)

Your discussion with MariaJaydHicky

As you are no doubt aware, there are glaring inconsistencies and highly unlikely coincidences piling up in this one. I asked about them. MariaJaydHicky2 was not interested in discussing any of them.[5] - SummerPhD^v2.0 02:23, 5 September 2016 (UTC)

Hi SummerPhDv2.0. I understand. However, maybe we all needn't worry about the past and how this all came to be. Nobody is going to agree on all that, it seems. One thing we can all agree on is that the past five years has been a loss for everyone. Let's look to a better future future for all. That is in everyone's best interest. Cheers, Anna Frodesiak (talk) 06:36, 5 September 2016 (UTC)

This is not "the past". The main problem with trusting a sockpuppeteer is that they have already been deceptive. Sometimes we trust them again after that. Usually when that is done, it is after avoiding the problematic behavior for six months and making other productive contributions during that time. In this case, the user is still actively denying they are responsible for 5 years of socking (with hundreds of accounts and hundreds more IPs), personal attacks, disruption, false sources, edit warring, you name it. All of this continued up to yesterday (and, I'm willing to bet, continuing while we discuss this). Their response to your olive branch was to openly lie about it with an extensive fairy tale about someone working for all these years, 5 Wikipedians who are out to get them, an incompetent Admin, faulty check user procedures and much more.

This person has been lying to us for years in support of their GWARing: false sources, removing valid sources, labeling anyone who opposed them a sock puppet, personal attacks, etc. Second chances are usually reserved for editors who have demonstrated that they are willing to move forward productively and have demonstrated that they can contribute constructively. It's not that this user's willingness or demonstration is questionable. They are still sure they are right and have done nothing wrong. It's not just a matter of "have they changed?", it's "why would they change?" - SummerPhD^v2.0 09:19, 5 September 2016 (UTC)

Hi SummerPhDv2.0.

About "...This is not the past....": I think we have to call "the past" anything before right this minute if we want the future to be different. You and Maria both speak of how this got started and there will never be agreement. We must put that aside.

About "...This person has been....": I am not naive nor blind.

Maria's point of view may be as simple as this: "I started out trying to help Wikipedia. I was unfairly blocked. The admins were horrible to me. Screw them (pardon my language). I am angry. I am going to edit anyway and they cannot stop me." I will ask her. I will also ask her why she edits.

I started a dialogue with Maria for one reason alone: to find an outcome that is not another five years of the same thing. I never suggested an olive branch. That is not what this is. It is a longshot at trying to help Maria understand that five years of reverted edits is a waste of life, and that another five would be terrible. That is all.

Please, allow me to try. I know it has a small chance of success, but a two-person dialogue has a higher chance without a third interjecting and challenging the things she says. It makes it hard to make progress.

They tend to cut through a lot of "I dunno, have we ever seen something like this before?" and "my wikiproject wants..." and "this is a magical special exception" stuff. Most naming issues have come up many times before. The increasing participation also helps discourage re-RMs every few months (people who want to change something often will try if the last move was done on the strength of 2 comments, but not 20). >;-)  — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽^ʌⱷ҅_ᴥⱷ^ʌ≼  23:02, 5 September 2016 (UTC)

Extended confirmed protection

Hello, Anna Frodesiak. This message is intended to notify administrators of important changes to the protection policy.

Extended confirmed protection (also known as "30/500 protection") is a new level of page protection that only allows edits from accounts at least 30 days old and with 500 edits. The automatically assigned "extended confirmed" user right was created for this purpose. The protection level was created following this community discussion with the primary intention of enforcing various arbitration remedies that prohibited editors under the "30 days/500 edits" threshold to edit certain topic areas.

In July and August 2016, a request for comment established consensus for community use of the new protection level. Administrators are authorized to apply extended confirmed protection to combat any form of disruption (e.g. vandalism, sock puppetry, edit warring, etc.) on any topic, subject to the following conditions:

• Extended confirmed protection may only be used in cases where semi-protection has proven ineffective. It should not be used as a first resort.
• A bot will post a notification at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard of each use. MusikBot currently does this by updating a report, which is transcluded onto the noticeboard.

Please review the protection policy carefully before using this new level of protection on pages. Thank you.
This message was sent to the administrators' mass message list. To opt-out of future messages, please remove yourself from the list. 17:47, 23 September 2016 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:Complaint tablet to Ea-nasir - front.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Complaint tablet to Ea-nasir - front.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. – Finnusertop (talk ⋅ contribs) 23:41, 28 September 2016 (UTC)

Rollback

How do I get rollback privileges, and others like that? Adotchar (talk) 10:10, 29 September 2016 (UTC)

(talk page watcher) @Adotchar: You can ask at Wikipedia:Requests for permissions/Rollback if you would like to have rollback rights. However, I don't see any recent evidence of AIV reports and requesting pages for protection. In order to demonstrate that you are ready to earn rollback rights, you must do this, otherwise your request will be declined. Class455 (talk) 11:42, 29 September 2016 (UTC)

Hi Adotchar and thank you Class455. Adotchar, you registered 5 months ago and have 676 edits, none of which seem to be about reverting vandalism. Basically admins want to see:

• at least 200 edits in the mainspace.
• a demonstrated ability to distinguish well-intentioned edits with minor issues from unconstructive vandalism. (See also: Wikipedia:Rollback#When to use rollback)
• that the editor has a fair bit of experience editor. Rollback is not for very new users, even if they exceed the 200 mainspace edit figure.

What other privileges are you interested in? Best wishes, Anna Frodesiak (talk) 19:25, 29 September 2016 (UTC)

I'm just interested in rollback. I use twinkle for vandalism when I see it. As I know, I do a lot against vandalism. I mainly go to the new page feed and just look for pages that are created as vandalism, or a hoax. 21:05, 29 September 2016‎ Adotchar

Hi Adotchar. I see you have nominated a dozen or so pages for deletion. However, I see really no reverting of vandalism. You say you do "a lot against vandalism", but where? Could you please show me diffs from your contributions? Thanks, Anna Frodesiak (talk) 21:29, 29 September 2016 (UTC)

Wikiquote

Hi, I would like to invite you to contribute to our sister project Wikiquote. Some articles there that may use more informative quotes include:

• q:Zoo: Needs more quotes on Charismatic megafauna (example a quote which explicitly states their names, i.e. fills in the gap between "aardvark to zebra" (I added this quote) and their depiction on movies (example the Kung Fu Panda franchise for Giant panda).
• q:Species: Needs a short succinct quote which explains nicely the discrepancy between the non-existence of Charismatic megafauna in invertebrates (including: insects, corals, mollusca, arachnids, crustaceans) and the comparatively larger ~1.3 million number of species compared to vertebrates.

Do let me know if you are interested in this. If you are uninterested can you consider pinging some folks in the reply message who can be potential contributors to Wikiquote. Solomon7968 09:24, 2 October 2016 (UTC)

Hi Wiki-buddy! Well, there are two ways to go on this:

*A: Flip! Just flip! Go completely DIVA, rage out and retire, then unretire, refuse to DROPTHESTICK, post huge rants at AN/I and your userpage, while IDHT to anything anyone says. Then attack, just plain attack anything that moves. File at ARBCOM. WIKILAYWER. Burn all bridges. Then, put a boot through your monitor and take sledge hammer to your computer. Storm out of the house yelling at strangers. Head to the pub and hit the bottle hard, really hard. Quit your church or synagogue and join ISIS. Two days later, tell ISIS to go to hell. Get back to the church or synagogue ASAP and start backpeddling to the priest or rabbi pleading temporary insantiy. Cool off. Take yoga. Go computer shopping. Creep back to Wikipedia. Minor edits only for a while. Let the emotional scars heal. Try to go on.

*B: Let it slide.

I'm split on this one. Your call. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 00:30, 5 October 2016 (UTC)

Oh, and also, goat meat actually isn't that bad. Sort of like lamb, but tastes like goat. I've been to Toronto, but never to Honest Ed's. That looks like a fun place! North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 10:56, 4 October 2016 (UTC)

Goat isn't that bad? It is lovely! Better than lamb. Wildly expensive here in Haikou, which is odd considering all the goats running around the countryside. Goat is 7 USD a pound and beef is 10! Outragous!

Honest Ed's is wild. Walk in the door and face a maze that takes half an hour to get through to the checkout. Best, Anna Frodesiak (talk) 00:30, 5 October 2016 (UTC)

B it is. Life goes on. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 01:17, 5 October 2016 (UTC)

Williamsburg Area Transit Authority article

I noticed you posted a comment on vaoverland's talk page about the Williamsburg Area Transit Authority (WATA) page, and adding images to it. He passed away about a year before your message to him, so that is why he never replied.

• Kuru stated on my talk page that they would work on some of these articles in their spare time (the smaller ones), so it's all good; there's no rush or anything. Otherwise, it's all up to you, AF, to research everything, reformat the articles and use your script magic to convert everything. Ha ha. You probably already noticed, but I bumped the thread on my talk page so the discussion stays there, rather than being auto-archived. Anyway, no pressure, and list articles rule! North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 12:35, 22 October 2016 (UTC)

• Hi AF and pinging kuru: Maybe we should try to work on articles one or a few at a time. So, I have completed the process of table conversion for List of companies of Saudi Arabia. While this is manageable for me per the length of this article, longer articles will be time consuming for me to perform table conversion upon, per my old-school method of copy/pasting data into tables. The article still needs more content added to the tables, some of which I have begun. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 12:48, 22 October 2016 (UTC)

• Another idea, if AF is up for it per her table-foo, is to simply begin by converting articles to table format as a starting point, and from there, additional work can be done in adding more content. I state this per Anna's abilities to perform table conversions relatively easily compared to my longform methods. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 13:34, 22 October 2016 (UTC)

• Regarding List of companies of Tanzania, since work has begun at User:Anna Frodesiak/Silver sandbox to improve this, perhaps we can all collaborate at this time on the sandbox page for this article. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 13:32, 22 October 2016 (UTC)

Yes, no rush on this at all. I have been running through some of the easier ones, focusing on smaller lists or on ones that NA had already written longer ledes for. I tried one or two larger ones and it is indeed a pain in the ass. List of companies of Taiwan was a lot of work; I can only imagine how long List of companies of Italy will take. Maybe I can triage a bit and break them into groups: 1. shorter vs. long, 2. standardized (easy convert) vs. hot mess (hard convert)? Kuru (talk) 14:43, 22 October 2016 (UTC)

Hi Kuru: I've done some more work at User:Anna Frodesiak/Silver sandbox; it is getting close to being ready for use to update the List of companies of Tanzania article. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 14:57, 22 October 2016 (UTC)

Kuru: I didn't notice your great work in updating List of companies of Taiwan, so I have added it to the list I have compiled at my talk page (Here). Feel free to add to the list after updating articles, if you'd like, so we can keep up with the updates. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 15:03, 22 October 2016 (UTC)

• Update: (also pinging Kuru) I updated List of companies of Tanzania with content from User:Anna Frodesiak/Silver sandbox. I then blanked the sandbox page. Copy attribution has been provided on both talk pages. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 03:28, 24 October 2016 (UTC)

Possible sock of Profile101

Hi Anna, hope you are well.

I stumbled upon this user whom I may think we may need to keep an eye on... What are your thoughts? Ta for now. Nordic Nightfury 11:07, 24 October 2016 (UTC)

Hi Nordic Nightfury. I'm fine thanks. I hope you are well too. Hmmmm, I am not sure it is him. P101 is very, very CIR and this new user seems to have competence. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 11:45, 24 October 2016 (UTC)

@Anna Frodesiak: and @Nordic Nightfury: This user seems to edit bus related articles, but I've examined a couple of his edits, and they dont appear to be related to Asia or Singapore as far as I can see. Edit summaries do look quite similar though, so I'll keep an eye on his edits as well and if I can see a similarity,I will report to SPI. Hope you two are doing well! Class455 (talk) 13:07, 24 October 2016 (UTC)

@Nordic Nightfury and Class455: I'll keep an eye on his edits too. It might be him. I remember now that Profile101's CIR was lying-related. So, I'm not 100% sure. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 17:43, 24 October 2016 (UTC)

hello

I'm glad that there are some admins on Wikipedia that do care about things like water. I read somewhere on your talk page that editing Wikipedia was like riding a bicycle ... uphill, before getting hit by a truck. Editing anywhere in Clinton space is like that these days: Talk:Political positions of Hillary Clinton#Bill McKibben? Censored. It's not easy being green. ^^ SashiRolls (talk) 22:42, 25 October 2016 (UTC)

Hi SashiRolls. I'm glad you care about these things too. And you are very brave to edit any Clinton-related articles. I wouldn't dare. As for the bike thing, well, this time I feel like the truck who hit nice people just trying to do a good job. I should not have been bold in this case. I should have posted asking for input first. Every year I seem to make one, big, dumb mistake. :) Anna Frodesiak (talk) 00:18, 26 October 2016 (UTC)

It seems to me that you got something very useful done very quickly and kindly. I'm glad gandy dancer was able to get the work that she did done while the page was still "under the radar"; I doubt it would have been as easy if the page had been higher profile from the beginning. So if that's how you got this year's "big mistake" out of the way, chapeau! SashiRolls (talk) 00:53, 26 October 2016 (UTC)

Thank you, SashiRolls. You know, you are very sweet. You've made me feel more than a smidgen better. And more precisely, I got others to get something very useful done...rather painstakingly.... Now, let's watch those page views with the new pagename starting a few days after the move. I expect (and hope) the numbers rise dramatically because Google will actually bring find it now. All the best and thank you again for your kindness. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 01:27, 26 October 2016 (UTC)

About Draft:Edward Katib "Eddie" Blyden

Hi Anna,

I am just working on the article on Edward Blyden and it is very rough. I did not realize it was visible to anyone but me. Are you the editor I was in communication with last night to try to get the photo uploaded? Are you a paid editor for Wikipedia?

I do not do Wikipedia writing/editing for compensation of any kind, nor have I ever. I try to write on noteworthy people that are of interest who have not been covered previously. In the case of Norbert Vesak, for example, whose Wikipedia page I did a few years ago, I came across his name at a ballet program I attended and explored further. When I contacted the Canadian Dance Library, they said they had many newspaper articles on him in the archives. I paid them to make photocopies and send me the articles, and then did library research myself.

I really appreciate your input and your reaching out. I don't think I have ever had a wikipedia "Talk" message before and it was a little challenge for me to find the place to respond to you. : )

Lauren

00:43, 28 October 2016‎ Lorromorro

Hi Lauren. You were talking with User:SwisterTwister. I was watching.

I am not a paid editor.

You do not edit for compensation, understood, and thank you.

Quite a coincidence bumping into you and your draft. I just started Juanita Musson a month ago -- my first restauranteur/chef article.

Draft:Edward Katib "Eddie" Blyden may be notable but maybe not. So, so many editors wish to get their article approved with the strategy that the more notable things about that subject they can find the better. Well, the best tip I can give is that that is not important but references, references, references, references, references, and more references are. :) Right now the article has a handful. A reviewer will likely reject it for not having enough.

The best plan for that article is to gather references from reliable sources. The more the better. If you find, say, four or five more, then the article has a good chance.

Also, the article was very promotional before. I fixed that. Still now, the article contains a lot of unsourced claims. This is about a living person, so such content should not be there.

Anyhow, the best plan now is to get those sources and stick them in the article.

Best wishes, Anna Frodesiak (talk) 01:29, 28 October 2016 (UTC)

Hi Anna,

Thank you for your response. I read your article on Juanita Musson and really enjoyed it. I go to Sausalito regularly but have never heard of her....until now.

Yes, it is a bit of a coincidence about our joint forays into chefs/restaurateurs. It is interesting.

I appreciate you input and will be sure to reference, reference, reference!

If I may ask, are you in the US or elsewhere? You are my first official contact with anyone in the Wikipedia world and it is interesting to know who I am connecting with and where. I am in San Francisco.

Hi Lauren. I just started the Musson article. Other fine writers did all the good work.

I live in Haikou, Hainan, China, am originally from London, England, then spent most of my life in Montreal. Best, Anna Frodesiak (talk) 04:39, 28 October 2016 (UTC)

(talk page watcher) Interesting to hear that Anna, so what made you leave London then out of curiosity? Class455 (talk) 11:00, 29 October 2016 (UTC)

Hi Class455. I had to leave London fast because of the fuzz. Really, there was mold everywhere. Something to do with the damp weather. :) Anna Frodesiak (talk) 21:52, 1 November 2016 (UTC)

DYK for Juanita Musson

On 2 November 2016, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Juanita Musson, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Juanita's Galley was noted for a "fabulous" breakfast, the proprietor's "unpredictable disposition", and a 40-person brawl featuring car jacks, pipes, steel bars, a fishbowl, and an ax? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Juanita Musson. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Juanita Musson), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Two-Factor Authentication now available for admins

Hello,

Please note that TOTP based two-factor authentication is now available for all administrators. In light of the recent compromised accounts, you are encouraged to add this additional layer of security to your account. It may be enabled on your preferences page in the "User profile" tab under the "Basic information" section. For basic instructions on how to enable two-factor authentication, please see the developing help page for additional information. Important: Be sure to record the two-factor authentication key and the single use keys. If you lose your two factor authentication and do not have the keys, it's possible that your account will not be recoverable. Furthermore, you are encouraged to utilize a unique password and two-factor authentication for the email account associated with your Wikimedia account. This measure will assist in safeguarding your account from malicious password resets. Comments, questions, and concerns may be directed to the thread on the administrators' noticeboard.

A new user right for New Page Patrollers

Hi Anna Frodesiak.

A new user group, New Page Reviewer, has been created in a move to greatly improve the standard of new page patrolling. The user right can be granted by any admin at PERM. It is highly recommended that admins look beyond the simple numerical threshold and satisfy themselves that the candidates have the required skills of communication and an advanced knowledge of notability and deletion. Admins are automatically included in this user right.

It is anticipated that this user right will significantly reduce the work load of admins who patrol the performance of the patrollers. However,due to the complexity of the rollout, some rights may have been accorded that may later need to be withdrawn, so some help will still be needed to some extent when discovering wrongly applied deletion tags or inappropriate pages that escape the attention of less experienced reviewers, and above all, hasty and bitey tagging for maintenance. User warnings are available here but very often a friendly custom message works best.

If you have any questions about this user right, don't hesitate to join us at WT:NPR. (Sent to all admins).MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:46, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

New Page Review needs your help

Hi Anna Frodesiak,

As an AfC reviewer you're probably aware that a new user right has been created for patrolling new pages (you might even have been granted the right already, and admins have it automatically).

Since July there has been a very serious backlog at Special:NewPagesFeed of over 14,000 pages, by far the worst since 2011, and we need an all out drive to get this back down to just a few hundred that can be easily maintained in the future. Unlike AfC, these pages are already in mainspace, and the thought of what might be there is quite scary. There are also many good faith article creators who need a simple, gentle push to the Tea House or their pages converted to Draft rather than being deleted.

Although New Page Reviewing can occasionally be somewhat more challenging than AfC, the criteria for obtaining the right are roughly the same. The Page Curation tool is even easier to use than the Helper Script, so it's likely that most AfC reviewers already have more than enough knowledge for the task of New Page Review.

It is hoped that AfC reviewers will apply for this right at WP:PERM and lend a hand. You'll need to have read the page at WP:NPR and the new tutorial.

ArbCom Elections 2016: Voting now open!

Hello, Anna Frodesiak. Voting in the 2016 Arbitration Committee elections is open from Monday, 00:00, 21 November through Sunday, 23:59, 4 December to all unblocked users who have registered an account before Wednesday, 00:00, 28 October 2016 and have made at least 150 mainspace edits before Sunday, 00:00, 1 November 2016.

The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.

FWIW, this. Also, JPL deleted your note chastising him for redirecting the article. Happy Thanksgiving! pbp 21:49, 24 November 2016 (UTC)

Hi Purplebackpack89. Thanks for the heads up. I noticed the removal at his talk. I've posted another one, this time about his possible agenda. I will respond at the AfD is a predictable manner, and inline with the rest of the community. Best wishes, my friend. :) Anna Frodesiak (talk) 00:02, 25 November 2016 (UTC)

Thank you. I see JPL deleted another one of your comments. Yeah, I think it's pretty clear there's some transphobia going on: if you look at his page, he professes to be anti-gay marriage. He has long had a streak of ILIKEIT/IDONTLIKEIT running through his AfD and CfD nominations; recently, he mass-nommed dozens of beauty pageant winners (some of whom clearly passed GNG) mostly because he doesn't consider it a worthwhile profession. pbp 01:02, 25 November 2016 (UTC)

Hi Purplebackpack89. I noticed the comment removal. That's his prerogative. Per AGF, I must reserve judgement for now, but evidence is accumulating. I too noticed User:Johnpacklambert's AfD and CfD nominations and position on certain (I think it was porn worker) categories, sending the wrong message. I think John is probably a really, really nice person who means well. He just doesn't like gay marriage, and maybe to him LGBT is connected there. And if Mormonism is the reason, well it has its faults (a history of polygamy, exclusion of "black" men from the priesthood, etc.) but their position on homosexuality is pretty good. And I've met loads of Mormons. They are all really nice people. If this is pushing a religious agenda, at least it is not in the real world with guns an bombs. Mormons are peaceful, we have to give 'em that. Best, :) Anna Frodesiak (talk) 02:46, 25 November 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for the block at User talk:Usman Habu Muttii.

Thank you for your vigilance. ---- Patar knight - ^chat/_{contributions} 05:12, 26 November 2016 (UTC)

Happy to help, Patar. Actually, I was worried that you'd be upset that I blocked with no edits by him after your final warning.

Thank you so much, Patient Zero! :) It is part info gathering and part appeal to stop. The latter doesn't seem to be working out that well with this editoir. :) I hope one day we can dissuade some socks with something better than whack-a-mole.

• (talk page stalker) Anna, about something better than whack-a-mole: the developers are just trying something out. After 1 December 2016, when someone tries to log in to a blocked account they will be blocked by a cookie. This means their browser will be blocked even if they change their IP address.[7] Johnuniq told me about it, and seemed hopeful it would stop many socks (even if not all). If you have any technical questions about it, you'll probably be better off asking John rather than me! Regards, Bishonen | talk 17:16, 1 December 2016 (UTC).

(talk page watcher) @Bishonen: That's good to hear. Is the cookie already functioning, or would I be better off asking John? This will help stop the likes of Profile101 and Becambuisness socks attacking my pages! Class455 (talk) 18:31, 1 December 2016 (UTC)

Hi Bishonen. That is music to my ears!!! :) My little effort has had a pretty poor rate of getting them to stop, and the info gathered shows most of these socks as people who are, well, ummmmm, okay, no comment there. :) Thanks for letting me know about this cookie thing. And who said cookies aren't good for ya?! Best, Anna Frodesiak (talk) 19:17, 1 December 2016 (UTC)

All that is known is in the first item at Bishonen's link, with a bit more jargon at the page it links to. I don't know if it is active now, but it should be very soon, although it is part of other updates and sometimes the updates are removed for a week or two while problems are fixed.

Hi!

Your talk page popped up on my watchlist today :) since I hadn't yet stopped watching your page. I just recently mentioned some disruptive shenanigans that seem to be going on at Talk:Sciences Po (a page under full protection until March 2017), and which may be well on their way to being elucidated (though having no power I've refrained from looking into it in great detail). I was summoned to that page for the first time a little less than a week ago, and I find quite a few people asking for an administrator after some testing of the waters. I've asked one specific administrator elsewhere to have a look and she has declined. Feel free to do likewise, there's some work that needs done on that page, if you or anyone still watching your page as I was wants to look into it. Best wishes, SashiRolls (talk) 16:58, 1 December 2016 (UTC)

Hi SashiRolls. I'll look into it. Best, Anna Frodesiak (talk) 19:17, 1 December 2016 (UTC)

Hi SashiRolls. Okay, I've had a bit of a look. If this is about content, admins should not be involved. Article talk and Wikipedia:Dispute resolution etc. is the place for that. If this is about editor behaviour, please point that out. What category do the shenanigans fall into, content or behaviour? Best, Anna Frodesiak (talk) 19:39, 1 December 2016 (UTC)

Well, it's interesting, because the allegations being made (that a user of English wikipedia is the same as one who was blocked from editing French wikipedia because of behavior on the same articles) seem pretty feasible to me based on what I've seen of the diffs (accounts created the same day, identical interests on the two projects), but... I'm not sure that's actually against the rules. I edit the two wikipediae under the same name, but perhaps that's not required? I'm reading through the case between XIIIfromTokyo and Droas82 on French Wikipedia's ANI at the moment. I'll get back with you once I've got something clearer to report. :) SashiRolls (talk) 20:25, 1 December 2016 (UTC)

Hi SashiRolls. Understood. Gather evidence if you wish. An editor blocked at French Wikipedia can still edit here if he behaves. If there's socking here, that's something I'd like to know about. Best, Anna Frodesiak (talk) 20:30, 1 December 2016 (UTC)

ORCP stats

Hi Anna, just a quick note - my addition to the ORCP stats is going to massively tip the averages. I note your advisement of this at the top of the page, but I wouldn't be opposed to removing me from the table or omitting me from any calculations -- samtar ^{talk or stalk} 21:07, 4 December 2016 (UTC)

Thanks Anna :) Yeah I think that'll help at least explain why I'm such an outlier! -- samtar ^{talk or stalk} 21:17, 4 December 2016 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) Perhaps the date of the poll closing should be shown in the table as well as the RfA date, to help gauge how much of each candidate’s ‘track record’ may have been established during that interval.—Odysseus1479 21:26, 4 December 2016 (UTC)

Possible spambot

Don't want to make a new section, but it seems like the person is a spambot (which tried editing your talk page) Dat Guy^Talk_Contribs 11:44, 8 December 2016 (UTC)

Hi Dat Guy. I made a section. I hope that's okay with you. Yes, a spambot, but why hit my talk page? So

odd. Anyhow, you may well be right. I'll search that phone number tomorrow and see if it pops up. I just searched it and nothing. Best, Anna Frodesiak (talk) 13:11, 8 December 2016 (UTC)

Don't know what phone number it is since the filter is private. Its either random and you were just unlucky or you've previously blocked one of their accounts. Dat Guy^Talk_Contribs 13:22, 8 December 2016 (UTC)

Hi Dat Guy. Filter? The edits appear to have been made at this talk page. The phone number is in the edits. As for why I was a target, who knows? I have, though, reverted and blocked a few of these types. Best, Anna Frodesiak (talk) 04:31, 9 December 2016 (UTC)

Other "in the world" pages

Hi Anna,

Here are a few more :-) :

• List of largest office buildings in the world
• List of largest hourglasses in the world
• Template:Mayors of the largest cities in the world by GDP
• List of longest railway tunnels in the world
• List of longest mountain chains in the world
• List of most polluted cities in the world by particulate matter concentration
• List of longest cross-country trails in the world
• List of smallest fish in the world
• World's largest cities
• History of the world's tallest buildings
• List of world's largest seeds
• World's largest palace
• The world's 100 most threatened species
• Forbes' list of world's highest-paid athletes
• World's longest cricket marathon
• World's largest airlines
• The World's 25 Most Endangered Primates
• + https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tallest_buildings_in_the_world (simple Wikipedia)

Formula used (on Google) : site:wikipedia.org intitle:"in the world" intitle:largest OR intitle:tallest OR intitle:biggest OR intitle:longest OR intitle:highest OR intitle:thinnest OR intitle:smallest OR intitle:narrowest OR intitle:oldest OR intitle:youngest OR intitle:most

+ replacing "in the world" by "world's" (and also by "worldwide" (but 0 results))

I think I have checked everything. After tracking hundreds of museums, I get to know these kinds of things...

You said : "As for World's largest cities and World's largest airlines, maybe those are okay to leave." Wouldn't it be better to replace all the "world's" by "list of" : for example "world's largest cities" : "list of largest cities" ?

Two other points :

• for those pages that don't have "in the world" inside the article, it should be added (in the article) so they can be referenced on search engines
• it would be nice to have a page listing all the world's lists.

Pinging User:Randy Kryn

The list now:

• List of largest office buildings in the world Y
• List of largest hourglasses in the world Y
• Template:Mayors of the largest cities in the world by GDP Y (changed name, not page move)
• List of longest railway tunnels in the world Y
• List of longest mountain chains in the world N (because I think there are mountain chains on other planets we observe)
• List of most polluted cities in the world by particulate matter concentration Y
• List of longest cross-country trails in the world Y
• List of smallest fish in the world Y
• World's largest cities Y (now List of largest cities)
• History of the world's tallest buildings N (because History of tallest buildings sounds strange. Maybe better as History of the tallest buildings)
• List of world's largest seeds Y
• World's largest palace N (Is this a list article? Just Largest palace seems odd.)
• The world's 100 most threatened species N (because it may be a proper name, I haven't checked)
• Forbes' list of world's highest-paid athletes N (because it may be a proper name, I haven't checked)
• World's longest cricket marathon N because its official name is "Longest Marathon Playing Cricket" and maybe should be moved to that
• World's largest airlines N (because of first entry here -- needs discussion)
• The World's 25 Most Endangered Primates N because that really does appear to be the proper name
• + https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tallest_buildings_in_the_world (simple Wikipedia) (none of my business)

Both of you are very good page finders and analyzers. On the mountains page, great point, and that one maybe should be 'List of longest mountain chains on Earth' which would be more specific and accurate. Randy Kryn 2:35, 9 December 2016 (UTC)

Hi Randy. Actually, LinguisticStudent is the finder. I'm just the findee.

I like the Longest mountain chains on Earth idea. I might just be bold and do it. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 03:28, 9 December 2016 (UTC)

Sounds good. List of tallest mountains in the Solar System and List of mountains on Mars are already here and thriving, and I just added 'on Earth' to List of highest mountains on Earth (I didn't look for other planets or moon pages). Randy Kryn 11:32, 9 December 2016 (UTC)

Done. Now List of longest mountain chains on Earth. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 06:13, 10 December 2016 (UTC)

Hi LinguisticStudent and Randy. The list now (Simple Wikipedia removed):

• World's largest palace N
• The World's 25 Most Endangered Primates N
• World's longest cricket marathon N
• Forbes' list of world's highest-paid athletes N
• The world's 100 most threatened species N
• History of the world's tallest buildings N

So I guess if there will be no action on those, we can call this wrapped up until we discover a bunch more. :) Anna Frodesiak (talk) 06:17, 10 December 2016 (UTC)

I was hoping to avoid an RfC, but maybe that's best. Then again, since I've already posted, maybe this will work out. I think we will broadly agree to remove the old men image. If that happens, we can simply remove it and move on to step two. If we really want to take each step to be sure, we can make step to: "Do you support the idea of a lead image rather than no image?" That should result in a bunch of supports. Step three would be by pure !votes looking for A, B, C, D, rough consensus. If step three fails, then RfC.

So, the above is a choice. If you'd still prefer RfC, that is fine with me too. You pick.

Best, Anna Frodesiak (talk) 21:51, 11 December 2016 (UTC)

Okay, sure -- let's see what happens, before going to an RfC. If we get four or five supports and only one or two opposes, that should be sufficient. Some editors can be aggressive with reverts, but they can also run out of reverts quickly enough if there is enough support for a change... Nomoskedasticity (talk) 22:12, 11 December 2016 (UTC)

But we must never accept it coming down to one side having greater numbers in a revert war and using 3RR as a tool. All lead image edits to that article should be broadly agreed upon at talk first. First, there must be clear support to remove the present image or that thread is dead in the water. Solid step by solid step or it is RfC. Sound good?

I'm sorry. Sometimes if I want to edit something, the computer freezes and the edits go a little wacko because there are a few bugs in this website. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Heididoerr061 (talk • contribs) 23:56, 16 December 2016 (UTC)

Hi Heididoerr061. I'm not sure I understand. As far as I know, there are no bugs in this website that would make little snowmen appear in your edits. Anyhow, please read all of what is written at your user talk page and try to make better edits in the future. Again, your good edits are good. Many thanks.

Lynching

Hi Anna,

I commented on your talk page once back in late October concerning a page move [8]. Since that time the page has been covered by both Pete Forsyth and by Samir Elsharbaty (Cf. here). I wish that this were all my holiday news. Unfortunately, due to responding to an RfC (politics, law) posted here, I have been accused of "wiki-hounding" and am threatened with a block of 3 months for these edits. I do not understand and wonder what you think about them: do you see these edits as being inappropriate?

While I thought this was a good faith effort to encourage discussion, I've found myself summarily brought to AE, despite the fact that this page is not under arbcom sanctions. Would you be willing to have an independent look at what's happening there? I would truly appreciate it. —SashiRolls (talk) 08:12, 20 December 2016 (UTC)

SashiRolls, I am sorry but this is a complicated one with many eyes on it. Plus, Dennis is a very fair admin, and I think he would only make such a block if he absolutely felt it the right thing to do. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 01:38, 22 December 2016 (UTC)

Ongoing edit war

Greetings Anna,

I wanted to inform you of an ongoing edit war between two users (Pearson Wright and Max Tomos) on the Pirates of the Caribbean Online article.

Both users have been reverting each others edit (Related to the edit i made sometime ago) and have shown no sign of stopping.

Here are the links relevant to this issue:

1. (Full edit history of the Potco article showing the ongoing edit war) https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pirates_of_the_Caribbean_Online&action=history

2. (Link showing the edit i made to said article a long while back for reference) https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pirates_of_the_Caribbean_Online&diff=prev&oldid=753430175

3. (My talk page with the message both users left) 1. Pearson Wright's reply: [9] 2. Max Tomos's reply: [10]

Both users (As mentioned above) replied to my talk page each making their own claim that the other was wrong (Essentially trying to pin the blame on the other). — Preceding unsigned comment added by AryaTargaryen (talk • contribs) 09:34, 22 December 2016 (UTC)

Editor of the Week seeking nominations (and a new facilitator)

The Editor of the Week initiative has been recognizing editors since 2013 for their hard work and dedication. Editing Wikipedia can be disheartening and tedious at times; the weekly Editor of the Week award lets its recipients know that their positive behaviour and collaborative spirit is appreciated. The response from the honorees has been enthusiastic and thankful.

The list of nominees is running short, and so new nominations are needed for consideration. Have you come across someone in your editing circle who deserves a pat on the back for improving article prose regularly, making it easier to understand? Or perhaps someone has stepped in to mediate a contentious dispute, and did an excellent job. Do you know someone who hasn't received many accolades and is deserving of greater renown? Is there an editor who does lots of little tasks well, such as cleaning up citations?

Please help us thank editors who display sustained patterns of excellence, working tirelessly in the background out of the spotlight, by submitting your nomination for Editor of the Week today!

In addition, the WikiProject is seeking a new facilitator/coordinator to handle the logistics of the award. Please contact L235 if you are interested in helping with the logistics of running the award in any capacity. Remove your name from here to unsubscribe from further EotW-related messages. Thanks, Kevin (aka L235 · t · c) via MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 05:19, 30 December 2016 (UTC)

User:Heididoerr061

Hi Anna,

I came across this user's edits and saw that you had recently warned them about their disruptive behavior. I'm not sure if they are still adding those images to their edits, but I'm finding that the mass majority of their edits are still a bit questionable; while they seem to be grammatically improving articles, some of their edits may still contradict WP:MOS guidelines. I thought about going to WP:ANI but I also thought that it'd be better to address this to an admin who's already spoken with them. Could I ask that you keep a closer eye on this user's edits? Thanks.

(Note: I would also post this on Yamla's talkpage, since they also had questioned their edits, but it is currently semi-protected).

73.96.114.225 (talk) 00:49, 31 December 2016 (UTC)

I'm looking into it. I see someone posted at his talk about it two days ago. Yamla can centralize by discussing at Heididoerr061's talk. I'll post there too. Thanks for pointing this out, although I'm still searching for the stray chrs among the good edits, of which there are many. Best, Anna Frodesiak (talk) 01:02, 31 December 2016 (UTC)

I see that you want to speak to me about my editing. When I reviewed my changes, I can see that some of my edits have snowmen on them and I think I know why. Every time I make a good edit in some long article, it freezes for 10 seconds and something that I edited gets all messed up so I had to start all over again or make some edits in a smaller article. I don't make a lot of sense sometimes but I think you know what I mean. I hope. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Heididoerr061 (talk • contribs) 01:46, 31 December 2016 (UTC)

No worries, my friend. :) I totally understand. Please, do your best to click preview and zap those little snowmen. :) Thank you kindly and welcome! And if there is anything you ever need or have any questions, please ask. Thank you, and happy editing. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 01:49, 31 December 2016 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) @Heididoerr061: if your browser tends to act up on large pages, it may help to edit only one part at a time; there are “[edit]“ links next to each section header for the purpose. See if that makes things run smoother. I have no idea what the problem might be, but if you post a description at WP:VPT, with details of your browser and system version, someone there might have a better suggestion.—Odysseus1479 02:43, 31 December 2016 (UTC)
