Choose Your Own Adventure

Greetings,

I just wanted to reiterate that I would like to participate in the Choose Your Own Adventure article rewrite, as would the editor Milowent. It would be helpful to have some idea about the nature of the rewrite and what information you're looking to source. As the primary complaints previously were regarding the history section and the attribution of the creation of the series concept, those are the references I have supplied so far, but if I had a clearer idea of what it is specifically you're trying to source, I could probably dig up some more references. The references sited by the Contemporary Authors bio would probably be the most useful for history and background.

Seanmercy (talk) 18:01, 17 January 2011 (UTC)

I'd also like to help contribute to the CYOA page, as I use the page a lot to explain the concept of CYOA to people, and the current state of the page someone saddens me. if you can please let me know what exactly it is you're looking for so I can start figuring out the best way to contribute, I would greatly appreciate that. Thanks! Viltris (talk) 23:56, 20 January 2011 (UTC)

• FloNight, I'd also like to help with the CYOA article. We need to get it back up soon or people are going to start writing articles about what is happening which will have a backfire effect we need to avoid.--Milowent • ^talkblp-r 06:19, 28 January 2011 (UTC)
  • OMG, how did links get into the article that call montgomery the creator, when massively distributed mainstream press articles from the 1980s say something else? I really don't have a side here, but verifiability is what we go on here.--Milowent • ^talkblp-r 21:48, 28 January 2011 (UTC)

I added a number of additional sources to the talk page. they are all formatted so they can be easily moved into the article with <ref></ref> tags put around them. there's no excuse! i did all the work!! Cheers.--Milowent • ^talkblp-r 15:37, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

• Flo, fyi, I added some more potential sources to the source section of the CYOA talk page. Cheers.--Milowent • ^talkblp-r 20:17, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for your nice comments regarding my Kentucky Governors GT and my running for adminship. Last week was hectic, and I didn't have much of a chance to respond, but I have now left a message on my talk page regarding the adminship issue. Just wanted to let you know that those comments weren't ignored. Thanks again. Acdixon ^{(talk • contribs • count)} 17:57, 24 January 2011 (UTC)

Still no explanation

You stated four days ago that you would give an explanation "in a few minutes" on Talk:Choose Your Own Adventure on why it is under an WP:OFFICE action. You have yet to do so. I have made this section in response to that and also about the continued bias being kept in the article. Silverseren^C 00:07, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

Wikimania 2012 bid, DC chapter & next meetup!

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

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

Thanks for your recent work on entries related to women's history. I'm glad you're participating in WikiProject Women's History. If you have any questions, concerns, or bright ideas about the project, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page.

Sally Ann

I want to begin by saying thanks for all your contribs. I am not able to do much, so I don't want to communicate any disrespect whatsoever. Thank you for all your hard and thoughtful work. However, I don't know if you still watch the page, so I wanted to paste my comment here from the Discussion page.

I would not argue notability here: this is obviously important, ground-breaking lit. That said, we're given very little specific to "Sally Ann." I'm anxious to read these stories, and that is a worthy purpose for encyclopedia articles, but I think this article needs either to go into detail, or be merged into the author article.

My interest involves a country/blues crossover song of the same title, which refers to a lynching and to the more famous "Strange Fruit." Ragityman (talk) 01:38, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

Problems with Wikipedia

It has been nearly a year since I logged on. Frankly there is good reason why "unprecedented numbers of the millions of online volunteers who write, edit and police it [wikipedia] are quitting." It is the unwillingness of people to apply standards evenly and fairly.

Truthfully the articles on Robert Watke and Fred J. Strain, both of which were deleted, that I researched and wrote, were done so by people who had an axe to grind with little real training in historical research or editing. The sad thing is that since the editors are unwilling to highlight significant people in small communities, therefore there is less to write about. They were both deemed "unnotable" even though they were very notable in their small community in their time period.

Actually the thing that wikipedia should do is to require ALL editors to have contributed at least a small number of articles themselves before they can become judge and jury. Secondly, they should have an appeals process that submits articles to a panel of judges who actually have the training and credentials to make those types of judgments. Without these changes wikipedia is likely to fade into the sunset over time.

There were 2 editors who were gracious and tried to be fair -- yet there were 2 other "editors" that consistently attempted to delete every article that I submitted. Unfortunately they succeeded because of their loud bombastic voices. Thus I have had no need to waste my time on the wikipedia project.

But I would encourage you to use your position in 2011 to advocate for change in policies. And to develop standards that are easily implemented and develop censure processes for those who flagrantly violate them. Without this, the few in academia, like myself, who supported wikipedia in the past, will continue to leave in droves.

Members' input needed at WikiProject Women's History

Hello. I'm writing to you as your name is listed on the members page for WikiProject Women's History. In recent discussions at the project, most notably here, several members have indicated that the scope of the project may need to be more clearly defined and communicated. I have set up a workshop page for this, but it obviously needs as wide a participation as possible to achieve genuine consensus and to allow the project to move forward. You'll find the workshop here.

If you no longer consider yourself an active member of the project, it would help if you could indicate this on the members' page. This will allow us to better gauge how much people-power we actually have. Best wishes, Voceditenore (talk) 18:32, 24 May 2011 (UTC)

I see that you have done some clean up of the history of Mary Cunningham Agee.

A major recent editor of the article has asked on their user page User talk:Omnibus170#Super Help re: 2 Refs (re: Mary Cunningham Agee) if it is now appropriate to remove some of the tags on the article.

Photos

I remember you saying that you occasionally make trips out to Frankfort for photo taking. It's strange to me that we don't have a photo of the Old Governor's Mansion. Think that's one you could pick up next time you're out that way? Presently, my interest stems from a mutual undertaking between myself and User:Doncram to create a list of buildings constructed by Kentucky Governor Thomas "Stonehammer" Metcalfe. If you happen to be near any of those other buildings and can make a photo, I think that could eventually be a featured list if we can get enough images and write enough of the redlinked articles.

Interview at Wikimania 2011

Hi Sydney. I hope this finds you well. My name is Matthew Roth and I'm a Storyteller at the Wikimedia Foundation. We're chronicling the inspiring stories of the Wikipedia community, especially editors/admins and active contributors in the movement like you. I'll be traveling to Wikimania next month to collect stories for our 2011 Fundraiser. While there I'd love the chance to meet with you and hear your thoughts about Wikipedia. We’ll have a schedule of available times for you to sign up if you’re interested, but right now, I'd like to gauge your interest. Please let me know by emailing me at mroth@wikimedia.org or responding on my talk page. Thank you, Matthew (wmf) (talk) 18:59, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the response. I think the best next step is to set up a brief phone call or skype session. We're all going to be pressed for time at Wikimania, so I'd love to get acquainted and discuss the process with you ahead of time, if you're available. The best next step would probably be to email me at mroth@wikimedia.org to set up a good time to chat. Thanks! Matthew (wmf) (talk) 17:46, 19 July 2011 (UTC)

The WikiProject National Archives Newsletter

The first ever WikiProject National Archives newsletter has been published. Please read on to find out what we're up to and how to help out! There are many opportunities for getting more involved. Dominic·t 21:23, 20 July 2011 (UTC)

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

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

My RfC

I never have closed this RfC I posted on myself in June 2007, in part because several of the issues involved have continued over several years. Before I consider possibly closing it (I feel I'm the one who should close it since it was a self-RfC), I was wondering if you would like to reconsider your endorsement of SlimVirgin's summary, and your own comments. If so, please strike through your endorsement and comments section. If you still stand by any or all of it, then please consider adding an additional statement, either at the bottom of your own comments section, or at the bottom of the front page of the RfC.

Hello. Are you aware of a way (like a common category) to find old deletion discussions of articles that were deleted or proposed for deletion under wp:blp1e? Thanks. Jesanj (talk) 21:41, 23 August 2011 (UTC)

Hello, sorry but I have no idea how to find them if it is possible. FloNight♥♥♥♥ 22:18, 23 August 2011 (UTC)

Me again. Sorry I might have become a bit annoying at this point. But at the AfD, you said before proposing deletion that you considered renaming "but decided that in this instance I did not think that ... would correct the BLP concerns in the article since the article is written as a biography". But couldn't one just easily remove some of the biographical details? Am I missing a key reason why renaming and reworking the article wouldn't work under BLP? Thanks again. Jesanj (talk) 18:24, 24 August 2011 (UTC)

No problem, I don't mind answering questions. :-) Unless the article is deleted, the history of the article would contain the other material for one thing. Since this is a BLP I would prefer not to keep the material that is not used in the history of the article. I suggest that you add material to the cardic stent article first, if the section of that article is too long to hold the all the material, then create a new article about the possible over use of stents as discussed in reliable sources.

Then here's another, thanks. Are you suggesting the article is a WP:BLP1E violation of a non-notable event? Jesanj (talk) 20:06, 24 August 2011 (UTC)

This idea is along the same lines. Jesanj (talk) 21:06, 24 August 2011 (UTC)

Jesanj, I think that writing an article about a significant study or a significant concept such as "over utilization of cardiac stents" (if there is strong research in reliable sources showing that it is happening) is the way to go. The research article or the broader topic is of global interest. Our goal should be for our article to reflect the world view about the use of cardiac stents. So, rather than focusing a particular person such as Mark Midei, we meet the mission of Wikipedia when we write about topics that are of general interest to the largest number of people. Our notability policy helps us stay focused on the topics where we can find in depth information from a variety of reliable sources over the course of years, if not decades. FloNight♥♥♥♥ 15:57, 25 August 2011 (UTC)

I totally agree. Thanks. But my main point of curiosity remains, do you think an incident article such as the Maryland stent scandal would be non-notable? Jesanj (talk) 16:19, 25 August 2011 (UTC)

Yes, I think that an article that focuses on one physician and one hospital would not be notable. (I've reviewed the source articles and know that other physicians and hospitals in Maryland are under scrutiny but this still seems like a local issue rather than something that is of world wide interest. Traditionally, encyclopedias have not covered local medical malpractice scandals, and Wikipedia has not. FloNight♥♥♥♥ 16:44, 25 August 2011 (UTC)

Thanks. I found Wikipedia:Notability_(events)#Inclusion_criteria and I learned that an event is very likely notable if it has national impact. Jesanj (talk) 17:17, 25 August 2011 (UTC)

I created an unrelated event article. I thought I'd let you know because your discussion with me helped me learn something. It had national impact. Here it is, the Bristol heart scandal. Just a stub now though. Thanks again. Jesanj (talk) 02:33, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

Hey, I'm only like a year late, but just wanted to let you know that Martha Layne Collins is presently up at FAC. I know I said I was going to try and get it ready to be TFA during Women's History Month last year, but obviously, that didn't happen.

Glad to make acquaintance with you. Your encouragement is much appreciated. I will be happy to share with you our plans. You may want to check on the Florida History Timeline project. It is a good method to index all the Florida history articles here at Wikipedia. Also I'm assisting Dr.Francis of the UNF with a research mission to Seville Spain to gather information from ancient Spanish documents on what we can learn about the native cultures of Florida during the early European exploration periods.

	The Real Life Barnstar
	Hi Flonight! Thank you so much for your contributions and participation this past week in GLAMcamp DC! I'm so excited about the "state" focused pages, and to see that you've started the ball rolling in St. Augustine. GLAMcamp St.A perhaps? :) SarahStierch (talk) 01:31, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

Also, would it be okay if I was "bold" and started to experiment with say....a California page? Let me know, or I can sit tight until a "formula" is developed :) SarahStierch (talk) 01:32, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for the barnstar! Our idea was to create 4 or 5 states first to see what type of information we want to include, and then go live with all the states. Gaurav and I were going to each create some, independent of each other, and then decide later which style to use. This way we could experiment with more styles. So, sure, go ahead and create a California page. Eventually we'll make them more uniform in style when we figure out the best model. FloNight♥♥♥♥ 16:41, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

St.Augustine

hi great to meet you at glamcamp. thoughts - National Register of Historic Places listings in St. Johns County, Florida is pretty much done. however, you have 3 new historic districts to write and list contributing properties. not on nps database [10]; city govt slides [11] - some categories [12] Slowking4⇔ †@1₭ 06:05, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

Hi, was a pleasure to meet you, too. Thank you for the hospitality of guiding to a cool lunch place, and rides (way beat walking in the brrrr cold!) Yes, I was looking at the list yesterday. The most useful images would probably be in the historic districts. This will take some work to organize, but seems very doable given the lead time. FloNight♥♥♥♥ 16:48, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

MSU Interview

Dear FloNight,

My name is Jonathan Obar user:Jaobar, I'm a professor in the College of Communication Arts and Sciences at Michigan State University and a Teaching Fellow with the Wikimedia Foundation's Education Program. This semester I've been running a little experiment at MSU, a class where we teach students about becoming Wikipedia administrators. Not a lot is known about your community, and our students (who are fascinated by wiki-culture by the way!) want to learn how you do what you do, and why you do it. A while back I proposed this idea (the class) to the communityHERE, where it was met mainly with positive feedback. Anyhow, I'd like my students to speak with a few administrators to get a sense of admin experiences, training, motivations, likes, dislikes, etc. We were wondering if you'd be interested in speaking with one of our students.

So a few things about the interviews:

• Interviews will last between 15 and 30 minutes.
• Interviews can be conducted over skype (preferred), IRC or email. (You choose the form of communication based upon your comfort level, time, etc.)
• All interviews will be completely anonymous, meaning that you (real name and/or pseudonym) will never be identified in any of our materials, unless you give the interviewer permission to do so.
• All interviews will be completely voluntary. You are under no obligation to say yes to an interview, and can say no and stop or leave the interview at any time.
• The entire interview process is being overseen by MSU's institutional review board (ethics review). This means that all questions have been approved by the university and all students have been trained how to conduct interviews ethically and properly.

Bottom line is that we really need your help, and would really appreciate the opportunity to speak with you. If interested, please send me an email at obar@msu.edu (to maintain anonymity) and I will add your name to my offline contact list. If you feel comfortable doing so, you can post your nameHERE instead.

If you have questions or concerns at any time, feel free to email me at obar@msu.edu. I will be more than happy to speak with you.

Thanks in advance for your help. We have a lot to learn from you.

Sincerely,

Jonathan Obar --Jaobar (talk) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chlopeck (talk • contribs) 23:27, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

Florida monuments interest

Thank you for considering me. No, I will not be able to help.

I think you've been on the system long enough to know about WikiMedia, which is where the pix would be loaded and assurances given that it is copyright free/compliant. Then it's a matter of putting a commons tag in articles you think could use them. I'm sure you've tried FieldMarine and Horologium. FieldMarine would possibly be interested in creating new Brevard-related articles. Student7 (talk) 22:42, 19 February 2012 (UTC)

I'm always willing to help out on Wikipedia where I can. I don't know what "outreach to cultural heritage organizations in FL" involves, so I'd need more details before agreeing to participate.

GLAM/NARA

Hey, Flo. I've seen a lot of stuff floating around about this GLAM / NARA collaboration with Wikipedia. I'm not sure I understand what it is all about, but it seems you've been involved to some degree with it, so I thought I'd ask you about it. I was hoping that it might be a way to find some PD images of a few minor federal officeholders about which I have done articles. Does this in any way fall within the scope of what that collaboration is about? If so, how would I request that someone find said images? Acdixon ^{(talk · contribs)} 13:30, 4 April 2012 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (File:NRB.jpg)

Thanks for uploading File:NRB.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 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) 04:03, 28 June 2012 (UTC)

Credo Reference Update & Survey (your opinion requested)

Credo Reference, who generously donated 400 free Credo 250 research accounts to Wikipedia editors over the past two years, has offered to expand the program to include 100 additional reference resources. Credo wants Wikipedia editors to select which resources they want most. So, we put together a quick survey to do that:

• Link to Survey (should take between 5-10 minutes): http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/N8FQ6MM

It also asks some basic questions about what you like about the Credo program and what you might want to improve.

At this time only the initial 400 editors have accounts, but even if you do not have an account, you still might want to weigh in on which resources would be most valuable for the community (for example, through WikiProject Resource Exchange).

Also, if you have an account but no longer want to use it, please leave me a note so another editor can take your spot.

If you have any other questions or comments, drop by my talk page or email me at wikiocaasi@yahoo.com. Cheers! Ocaasi ^{t | c} 17:17, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

Time for WLM-US planning

Dear Sydney,

It's time to start planning for a WLM-US event in Florida (or in St. Augustine). There seem to be 2 types of events planned around the country: a traditional "Wiki takes ..." event, where you give a list and a map to relevant sites to editors at the start, and then help upload the photos at the end, and a newer version, the Photo Walk. In a photo walk, the group moves pretty much together over a planned route, with a guide. The purpose might be more enjoying each other's company and learning, than strictly photographing the most sites. St John's County has a "problem" in that it is already fully illustrated. That doesn't mean that you can't take more photos of the sites, only that the new photos should try to go beyond the basic shots that we already have. I'd probably concentrate on the five historic districts in St. Augustine.

You might want to check with User:Pharos about Wikipedia:Wikipedia Takes America, as well as User:Ebyabe about Florida NRHP sites.

All the best, Smallbones (talk) 21:57, 30 July 2012 (UTC)

Looking for some feedback on a fellowship proposal

Hi Sydney! It was so lovely spending time with you in DC, I hope you are coming to SF soon because I already miss you :-) I saw you signed up to participate in the Acknowledgements work being planned for Teahouse, hooray! We've got a fellowship idea proposing to experiment with badges in the Teahouse, which obviously has potential to tie into the Teahouse work being planned. I wondered if you might have a look and share your thoughts (feedback, concerns, endorsement, suggestions, whatever), to help us evaluate it. Thanks! Siko (talk) 01:06, 3 August 2012 (UTC)

Hi Siko, It was nice spending time hanging out together in DC. We had a great geeky girl gang there running in a pack together. :-) Hope to get to SF again, too. Replying on talk page about the proposal. I like the idea and have a few suggestions. Sydney Poore/FloNight♥♥♥♥ 15:49, 4 August 2012 (UTC)

Indefinite semi-protection of Manute Bol

Hello FloNight. Just wondering, why did you semi-protect Manute Bol indefinitely back in March of 2009? There didn't seem to be a lot of vandalism. Anyways, now it's not a BLP. Thanks, David1217 ^{What I've done} 23:29, 21 September 2012 (UTC)

He was alive back in 2009, and there was persistent vandalism that someone likely brought to my attention. In any case, I took the semi-off now and hopeful all will go well. FloNight♥♥♥♥ 00:29, 22 September 2012 (UTC)
