Bad faith?

[edit]

...a comment that implied bad faith, on my part

There's a reason for that. Hint: your track record.

A reminder -- as you surely need one -- that the guideline is "assume good faith in the absence of evidence to the contrary". Perhaps you should pay more attention to all the warnings YOU'VE received over the years. --Calton | Talk 01:03, 28 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

An automated process has detected that when you recently edited HMPNGS Seeadler (P03), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Vietnamese (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

(Opt-out instructions.) --DPL bot (talk) 09:40, 11 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image File:South African environmental patrol vessel Ruth First.jpg replaced by a free image

[edit]
⚠
⚠

Thanks for uploading File:South African environmental patrol vessel Ruth First.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:43, 29 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

NPR Newsletter No.12 30 July 2018

[edit]
Chart of the New Pages Patrol backlog for the past 6 months. (Purge)

Hello Geo Swan/archive, thank you for your work reviewing New Pages!

June backlog drive

Overall the June backlog drive was a success, reducing the last 3,000 or so to below 500. However, as expected, 90% of the patrolling was done by less than 10% of reviewers.
Since the drive closed, the backlog has begun to rise sharply again and is back up to nearly 1,400 already. Please help reduce this total and keep it from raising further by reviewing some articles each day.

New technology, new rules
  • New features are shortly going to be added to the Special:NewPagesFeed which include a list of drafts for review, OTRS flags for COPYVIO, and more granular filter preferences. More details can be found at this page.
  • Probationary permissions: Now that PERM has been configured to allow expiry dates to all minor user rights, new NPR flag holders may sometimes be limited in the first instance to 6 months during which their work will be assessed for both quality and quantity of their reviews. This will allow admins to accord the right in borderline cases rather than make a flat out rejection.
  • Current reviewers who have had the flag for longer than 6 months but have not used the permissions since they were granted will have the flag removed, but may still request to have it granted again in the future, subject to the same probationary period, if they wish to become an active reviewer.
Editathons
  • Editathons will continue through August. Please be gentle with new pages that obviously come from good faith participants, especially articles from developing economies and ones about female subjects. Consider using the 'move to draft' tool rather than bluntly tagging articles that may have potential but which cannot yet reside in mainspace.
The Signpost
  • The next issue of the monthly magazine will be out soon. The newspaper is an excellent way to stay up to date with news and new developments between our newsletters. If you have special messages to be published, or if you would like to submit an article (one about NPR perhaps?), don't hesitate to contact the editorial team here.

Go here to remove your name if you wish to opt-out of future mailings. — Insertcleverphrasehere (or here) 00:00, 30 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

About the Fireboat article

[edit]

Hi, Geo! A comment about your article Fireboats of San Diego: the section heading “Port of San Diego” is misleading. The Port of San Diego is a quasi-governmental agency established in 1962 to serve all of San Diego Bay. The history that you are quoting there predates the creation of the Port and appears to be about the City of San Diego’s firefighting, not the Port’s. In fact the history you are quoting is from the city’s Fire-Rescue Department history page. --MelanieN (talk) 00:36, 30 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
