Want to help shape the future of the Wikipedia editing experience?

Hi Strawberryfields77,

The Design Research team at the Wikimedia Foundation is currently seeking Wikipedians for user studies about their experience with current editing tools and to test out some prototype editing tools. If you’re interested in helping to shape the future of editing on Wikipedia, we would love to have you participate! The study session will take approximately 30 minutes, maximum of 45 minutes.

The study will take place in the next couple weeks, and will require participants to have access to a webcam and microphone (or a laptop with built in cam & mic), with a quiet place to go for a research session. To participate, please email dchen[at]wikimedia.org and include the following information:

Username
Email where we can reach you
Your city or time zone
Best time to talk to you

Please let me know if you have any questions! Look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

Daisy Chen

Du Barry Was a Lady (film)

Please look at what you are blindly reverting. I am catching up to a ring of IPs adding promotional spam to various articles. The links are so far

red-skelton.info
danny-kaye.info
threestoogespictures.info
abbott-and-costello-whos-on-first.info

They don't belong here and they violate WP:EL. Justeditingtoday (talk) 01:50, 8 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for letting me know. I wasn't aware.Strawberryfields77 (talk) 01:51, 8 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Since I wrote this, I have found don-knotts.info and jackie-gleason.info. Ugh. Justeditingtoday (talk) 01:55, 8 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Recent Revision on Pam Krueger page

Hi, I wanted to qualify my edits to the Pam Krueger page as I'm attempting to remove the biased content that resulted in it getting an advertising banner. I would like to restore my edits and I'll document my changes a better. If you have any suggestions they're welcome but my goal is ultimately to submit the content in that first edit with better references.

@Callisony Thanks for your concern. I'm restoring the awards section. The edit that tagged this article as advertising mentioned specific phrasing in other sections of the article, not the award section; per WP:ASSERT, asserting a fact (ie Person X won an award)is not asserting an opinion; other articles list the awards people won.

I'm also restoring the cleanup tags: the references still are either connected to the subject or from the Internet Movie Database, which doesn't have good editorial control. In addition, I noticed on your userpage that you are being paid by the Pam Krueger. Due to this fact, I don't think it is appropriate for you to remove an advertising tag from an article that you have these connections with. Strawberryfields77 (talk) 02:13, 20 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@talk) Thanks for explaining the initial reasoning for the tag. I'm still pretty new to editing; when I edit the article to remove the phrasing that seems like advertising, do I get an unbiased third party to review it and remove the tag, or is that still biased? I removed the awards section as I was instructed by my employer to do so, though that may be in order to remove bias. However if I could keep that revised I'd appreciate it. *EDIT*: I see it's preferred I suggest edits

@talk) Would using the MoneyTrack.org website be suitable as a reference or is it too closely related to the subject?

(Callisony) (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 02:54, 20 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I would keep the tag: there are lists of articles sorted by what cleanup tags they have; I don't feel qualified in assessing what constitutes advertising and what doesn't. If someone who is paying you told you to make an edit, you should not make it but suggest it on the talkpage so that the other editors can discuss it; see WP:PAY. Wikipedia is supposed to be neutral, so major changes you make should be proposed on the talkpage; fixing links is fine, I think.

The Moneytrack site is affiliated with Pam Krueger, so it's still not independent. You want to find people who don't have any connection or interest in the subject of the article (ie mainstream newspaper). For more info, you can consult WP:IS.
