July 2007 GAC backlog elimination drive

[edit]

A new elimination drive of the backlog at Wikipedia:Good article candidates will take place from the month of July through August 12, 2007. There are currently about 130 articles that need to be reviewed right now. If you are interested in helping with the drive, then please visit Wikipedia:Good article candidates backlog elimination drive and record the articles that you have reviewed. Awards will be given based on the number of reviews completed. Since the potential amount of reviewers may significantly increase, please make sure to add :{{GAReview}} underneath the article you are reviewing to ensure that only one person is reviewing each article. Additionally, the GA criteria may have been modified since your last review, so look over the criteria again to help you to determine if a candidate is GA-worthy. If you have any questions about this drive or the review process, leave a message on the drive's talk page. Please help to eradicate the backlog to cut down on the waiting time for articles to be reviewed.

You have received this message either due to your membership with WikiProject: Good Articles and/or your inclusion on the Wikipedia:Good article candidates/List of reviewers. --Nehrams2020 23:34, 10 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]


Notability of Sconex

[edit]

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Sconex, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Sconex seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Sconex, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

From the Editors

The newsletter is back! Many things have gone on during the past few months, but many things have not. While the assessment drive helped revitalize the assessment department of the project, many other departments have received no attention. Most notably: peer review and our "workgroups". A day long IRC meeting has been planned for October 13th, with the major focus being which areas of the project are "dead", what should our goals be as a project, and how to "revive" the dead areas of our project. Contribute to the discussion on the the new channel (see below)

We decided to deliver this newsletter to all project members this month but only those with their names down here will get it delivered in the future.

This is your newsletter and you can be involved in the creation of the next issue. Any and all contributions are welcome. Simply let yourself be known to any of the undersigned or post news on the next issue's talk page

New irc channel

Lastly, a new WikiProject Biography channel has been set up on the freenode network:

GA Sweeps invitation

[edit]

Hello, I hope you are doing well. I am sending you this message since you are a member of the GA WikiProject. I would like to invite you to consider helping with the GA sweeps process. Sweeps helps to ensure that the oldest GAs still meet the criteria, and improve the quality of GAs overall. Unfortunately, last month only two articles were reviewed. This is definitely a low point after our peak at the beginning of the process when 163 articles were reviewed in September 2007. After nearly two years, the running total has just passed the 50% mark. In order to expediate the reviewing, several changes have been made to the process. A new worklist has been created, detailing which articles are left to review. All exempt and previously reviewed articles have already been removed from the list. Instead of reviewing by topic, you can consider picking and choosing whichever articles interest you.

We are always looking for new members to assist with the remaining articles, so if you are interested or know of anybody that can assist, please visit the GA sweeps page. In addition, for every member that reviews 100 articles or has a significant impact on the process, s/he will get an award when they reach that threshold. If only 14 editors achieve this feat starting now, we would be done with Sweeps! Of course, having more people reviewing less articles would be better for all involved, so please consider asking others to help out. Feel free to stop by and only review a few articles, something's better than nothing! Take a look at the list, and see what articles interest you. Let's work to complete Sweeps so that efforts can be fully focused on the backlog at GAN. If you have any questions about the process, reviewing, or need help with a particular article, please contact me or OhanaUnited and we'll be happy to help. --Happy editing!

AfD nomination of Chris Sligh and others

[edit]

An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated articles are Chris Sligh, Gina Glocksen, Haley Scarnato, Melissa McGhee, Kevin Covais, Lisa Tucker (singer), Anwar Robinson. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to the relevant discussion pages: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Chris Sligh (4th nomination) for Chris Sligh, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Gina Glocksen (2nd nomination) for Gina Glocksen, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Haley Scarnato (2nd nomination) for Haley Scarnato, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Melissa McGhee (2nd nomination) for Melissa McGhee, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kevin Covais for Kevin Covais, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Lisa Tucker (singer) for Lisa Tucker (singer), Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Anwar Robinson for Anwar Robinson. Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:43, 29 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

MSU Interview

[edit]

Dear Mike 7,

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 24.11.206.39 (talk) 03:21, 21 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of New Jersey District Key Club International

[edit]

The article New Jersey District Key Club International has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

While the parent organization (Key Club) is reasonably notable, this particular district of it (one of 30) completely fails the notability criteria for organizations. I have been unable to find any sigificant coverage of it in independent reliable sources

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Love Machine

[edit]

You recently speedily deleted the article Love Machine (dance troupe). While I realise its notability could be a matter of opinion, I do not believe it met the criteria for speedy deletion as it did include a significant claim to notability, in that they did have a significant, if brief, role in a very well-know British TV programme. PatGallacher (talk) 23:51, 16 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your message. In reviewing the speedy deletion proposal and the article, the primary concern seems to be the lack of assertion of importance for the group. Do you believe you could possibly merge relevant information concerning this group into the article for The Benny Hill Show? I noticed there is no mention to Love Machine on that article, yet there is to the troupe that superseded Love Machine. Michael (talk) 08:04, 17 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

60.242.91.165

[edit]

With regards to your block of 60.242.91.165 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log), I am not sure what it was for - the personal attack in response for Castlemate (talk · contribs)'s message? (A user is entitled to remove warnings from his talk page; see the user space guidelines.) If there's nothing else, then I'd say that a week's block is rather severe; a warning may have sufficed. - Mike Rosoft (talk) 17:18, 17 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Mike. I looked over the user's contributions again and reduced the block to expire within 24 hours. The personal attack was indeed the reason for the block, and I cited vandalism due to edit summary vandalism, though citing personal attack as the reason would also have sufficed. Thank you again for your message. Michael (talk) 22:52, 17 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Move a copy of a deleted article into a user's userspace?

[edit]

Hi Mike! I'm writing on behalf of a user contesting a speedy on Duotrope, User:Rick Norwood. He's requested that the article be re-added so he can work on it and find sources. I didn't really find anything when I searched, but I have no problem with a copy of the article being moved into Rick's userspace so he can work on it and look for sources. I didn't know if you could do this or if he had to go through the undeletion request board. Rick wanted it readded to the mainspace, but I think it might be better for it to be added to his userspace so it doesn't get tagged for a speedy, prodded, or put to an AfD before he's finished.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 03:46, 20 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I, and most of the writers I talk to, find Duotrope a valuable resource for writers. It is useful, stable, and has been around for a long time. I am not connected with Duotrope, except that I use it to find markets for the stories I write. It certainly seems noteworthy to me. It is mentioned in 44 other Wikipedia articles and gets 274,000 hits on Google. I'd appreciate a chance to do more work on the article. Rick Norwood (talk) 12:49, 20 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you both for the messages. Rick, I moved the article to your user space at User:Rick Norwood/Duotrope so that you may continue working on it and locating sources. I also referred to the What links here page and was only able to find three pages (including our two talk pages) linking to Duotrope, so I'm not sure if you were looking at a different page, but it does not appear we have a large number of red links for the page. Links to Duotrope articles used as sources don't appear as red links on the pages on which they appear since they're typically not linked to our article space. Also, we can't determine something to be notable based on cross-referencing to other Wikipedia articles; we definitely need external sources. Best of luck as you continue to work on this article!

Indef block of Helvitica Bold - "vandalism only account"?

[edit]

I noticed after seeing the deletion of revisions in the Abigail and Brittany Hensel article that you also blocked Helvitica Bold (talk · contribs · block log) indefinitely, as a "Vandalism-only account"; but from the user's contribution history it appears that only the last one or two contributions could be labeled as such, the rest appear to have been constructive (maybe the account was left logged in somewhere or the password was broken?). An indefinite block with no prior warning to the user seems to be skipping a bit of normal process. John Darrow (talk) 06:48, 27 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps I should have selected "Vandalism" as opposed to "Vandalism-only account" in the block rationale dropdown. In addition to the edit to Abigail and Brittany Hensel article that required revision deletion due to its content, I noticed additional edits that made the account suspect: 1 2 In addition to these, I'm not sure if you had access to the following, but this is an excerpt from the userpage, which was deleted following the block:
"She does still date occasionally, but Helvitica has high moral standards: she only dates very good, upstanding, clean-looking, familiar long-time titty-bar customers. Or anyone she doesn't think is a cop or a shill for her boss making sure she isn't selling her "two nipples, [nicely-trimmed sex organ], and your little smart-whore ASS hole again and putting my business in peril from the law god dammit".
Finally, if this user page distracts you, do what the Shaman of the New York Algonquin tribe did when physical desire became unendurable:
MASTURBATE!"
The user also concludes on her userpage by stating the following: "[She is] eager to read this when she's sober to see WTF she posted on the internet THIS time." I'm not sure if the most recent edits are an instance in which the user may have been inebriated (the userpage reads very sarcastically throughout, however) or if you are correct in that the account may have been compromised (in which case we would definitely not want to go ahead and unblock the account, least not without an appeal from the user, who would then need to take steps to then ensure the account was secured, were the unblock granted). In either case, the user has the option to request that she be unblocked. Michael (talk) 07:50, 27 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

User:68.196.196.161

[edit]

Just to let you know, this user has incurred escalating blocks previously of 31h, 1 and 2 weeks, so I'm not sure that 72h will deter him much this time. I forgot to tick the box, but he resumed editing within 24h of block release. Elizium23 (talk) 08:25, 27 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, thank you, Elizium23. Prior to blocking, I only noticed the block shown on the talk page. Upon closer inspection, I saw the other two in the user's block history. In light of this IP's continued disruptive conduct over time, I've increased the block to 21 days. Michael (talk) 08:34, 27 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Mike--sorry, but what's wrong with the username of Akselwiki (talk · contribs)? Thanks, Drmies (talk) 01:46, 19 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Drmies - Usernames that could be reasonably perceived by users as belonging to users who are somehow affiliated with the Foundation may be blocked. However, the user is free to request a new name. Michael (talk) 23:52, 25 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Unblock

[edit]

Hello, Mike. After thinking very long and carefully, I have taken the (for me) unusual step of unblocking a user you blocked without consulting you first. You blocked Helvitica Bold indefinitely, giving the reason as "Vandalism-only account". I have looked at a sample of 20 of the user's 153 edits excluding their user page, and did not find a single one that I could conceive of anyone calling "vandalism". Even if there were vandalism edits somewhere among them that I missed, this cannot possibly be described as a "vandalism-only account". The user page contained some silly editing, and it might be debatable whether to call it "use of Wikipedia for inappropriate humour" or "vandalism", but at the most it might have justified a warning. An indefinite block on a user with a significant history of positive contributions because of a silly user page seems dubious, and for such a block to be imposed without any warnings is surely unacceptable. If I have missed something which puts the block in a different light than that in which I have seen it then please let me know. JamesBWatson (talk) 12:09, 25 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello JamesBWatson - The block actually came following the need for revision deletion on the Abigail and Brittany Hensel article (on June 24th) due to content inserted by Helvitica Bold. John Darrow had inquired about this block on my talk page on June 27th (see above). I laid out my reasoning there and explained that perhaps instead of "vandalism-only account" I should have simply selected "vandalism". Given the editor's history (with the exception of that which was mentioned on the user page), it seemed possible that the account had been compromised.

Bussetti - page reinstatement

[edit]

Hi Mike 7 - I am going to reinstate a page you deleted back in 2007 - that of a band called Bussetti, who are no longer together. Disclaimer - I was their bassist. There are now several pages that mention this band, including this one, this one, and this one, plus there are several external sites that reference the band and their work (e.g. here). I hope this is OK - do get in touch if you disagree. HenryScow (talk) 17:26, 2 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion of Beta Sigma Theta

[edit]

Mike,

I discovered today that on 24 June you deleted the article Beta Sigma Theta, and on 25 June left me a note on a potential conflict of interest regarding edits I've made over the years on the page.

I would like to open a dialog with you to have the page undeleted. I am unaware if a deletion discussion initiated, though I expect from the CSD A7 label one was not. I am on the surface unable to differentiate my recollection of the page content against most of the other local fraternities listed in List_of_social_fraternities_and_sororities#Local_organizations. I would like to ask on what criteria you deleted the page, offer mitigation to those points, and outline further evidence of notability, with the ultimate result being the undeletion of the page.

Thanks, Matt

(As a sidebar, I appreciate your dedication to the ethos of Wikipedia with the NPOV comment. I would like to note that I take the NPOV seriously, particularly in relation to subjects with which I am familiar, as I hope is evident in the body of edits and contributions I've made to Wikipedia over the years.) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wolfraem (talk • contribs) 22:15, 4 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Matt - I apologize for my delay in responding. If you refer to those links, the vast majority lead to sections on individual school's pages (or pages concerning Greek life at those schools), so if you believe the organization is relevant enough, there's no reason not to merge it into the school article. Michael (talk) 06:11, 27 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Mike, not a worry, I appreciate hearing back. I hope you'll forgive my continued perseverance. The organization is one of the oldest local fraternities at Michigan Tech and the last remaining chapter to survive after the schism of chapters from Beta Sigma Psi in the early 1970's. The organization has been significant to student life through its tenure, and is notable as a part of regionally and nationally relevant activities at the university. Sourcing and citing is difficult due to the unique conditions the Upper Peninsula presents—the region is very poor outside the three Universities—regional newspapers still do not have reliable internet-accessible archives and other non-periodical news sources are often still distributed purely in print. There are independent sources of information available, however—in library archives, etc.—they just require time to collect and verify.
I note relevant deletion discussions which resulted in "Keep" determinations: Alpha Chi Alpha, Adelphikos, Talk:Chi_Heorot. All three have similar regional importance and were Kept in order to allow improvement to sourcing and expansion of content. Beta Sigma Theta is at least as relevant as those three organizations are to their respective universities and communities. Topics related to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan region are important, but by the nature of the region they are less likely to have the volume of potentially interested contributors a topic from populous regions would have. These topics are still important, however, to the quality and breadth of Wikipedia as an encyclopedia.
I would therefore request the opportunity offered the editors of those other local organizations, to allow contributors to add independent references and improve on the significance of the organization. Thanks again, Wolfraem (talk) 02:53, 15 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
To give you an opportunity to work on expanding the article (with sources and assertions of notability), I have restored the page and moved it to your userspace. To view and edit it, you can go to User:Wolfraem/Beta Sigma Theta. Please let me know if you need anything else or have any questions. Michael (talk) 02:17, 18 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, I appreciate it. Wolfraem (talk) 19:28, 20 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

HiSilicon

[edit]

Hi, you deleted the article about HiSilicon, a company creating SoC for Huawei, a major worldwide telcommunication company. They was 3rd party sources in the Article (ARM.com and some other sources), so it doesn't seem to fill the {{a7}} criteria. If necessary other reliable source like EE Times can be added. Could you then explain me why for you deleted it? ThanksPopolon (talk) 21:00, 1 November 2012 (UTC) Here are some notables references :[reply]

Extended confirmed protection

[edit]

Hello, Mike 7. 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. 17:48, 23 September 2016 (UTC)

Notification of pending suspension of administrative permissions due to inactivity

[edit]

Information icon Following a community discussion in June 2011, consensus was reached to provisionally suspend the administrative permissions of users who have been inactive for one year (i.e. administrators who have not made any edits or logged actions in more than one year). As a result of this discussion, your administrative permissions will be removed pending your return if you do not return to activity within the next month. If you wish to have these permissions reinstated should this occur, please post to the Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard and the userright will be restored per the re-sysopping process (i.e. as long as the attending bureaucrats are reasonably satisfied that your account has not been compromised, that your inactivity did not have the effect of evading scrutiny of any actions which might have led to sanctions, and that you have not been inactive for a three-year period of time). If you remain inactive for a three-year period of time, including the present year you have been inactive, you will need to request reinstatement at WP:RFA. This removal of access is procedural only, and not intended to reflect negatively upon you in any way. We wish you the best in future endeavors, and thank you for your past administrative efforts.
