In response to your feedback

... is not an appropriate section heading. If it were made to an editor who frequently made comments, it would be confusing. It's still somewhat confusing when it appears more than once on a user's talk page. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 14:59, 24 May 2012 (UTC)

If you find the heading inappropriate then you need to request it to be changed here as it is automatic and I have no control over it.

Some Help

A user named Wikibowler posted a message on my page regarding my response to his feedback. I have no idea how to respond and would like your with this issue. Here is the question. --Tow Trucker talk 21:00, 26 May 2012 (UTC)

This is a hard issue to deal with. I made a comment on the discussion about how I disagree with the removal of Wikibowler's comments but I do not know the rules for WP:NOTAFORUM or the Wikipedia:TPG to jump in with both feet.
Cheers,
Riley Huntley talk No talkback needed; I'll temporarily watch here. 19:36, 27 May 2012 (UTC)
You should familiarize yourself with those rules. This isn't the first time this user (or socks/meatpuppets) has added this exact same content. It's soapboxing in the extreme, with very little constructive content. When first added it has been discussed. When it gets repeated again and again, it gets deleted. The user knows what's happened to the content and doesn't need to be notified. They can start abiding by those rules and make constructive suggestions based on reliable sources, rather than conspiracy/profit driven sources backed by Stanislaw Burzynski‎. (They will get a hearing if they do so.) Instead, his institute has repeatedly tried to edit/vandalize/whitewash the article. Many of the IPs come from the same city as his institute! He even had a PR flack employed by him doing it. The history of that article is quite interesting. Discuss this at the article's talk page. -- Brangifer (talk) 19:58, 27 May 2012 (UTC)
Well I guess if that is the case removal of his comments from the Talk Page does seem OK. --Tow Trucker talk 20:38, 27 May 2012 (UTC)
FYI, their user page has also been deleted for the following reasons:
  • "db:it's a reproduction of TWO deleted articles (which were rants), with added comments and BLP-violating attacks on editors, including accusing them of possibly being "on big pharma's payroll" and "directly or indirectly employed by the FDA, the NCI, or the pharmaceutical company". This is simply conspiracy theory driven promotion of Stanislaw Burzynski's discredited quackery (and also Wilhelm Reich's). If this continues, the editor should be blocked."
‎The deleting admin left this justification:
  • (G10: Attack page or negative unsourced BLP that serves no purpose but to threaten or disparage its subject (CSDH))

Help clear the Feedback Dashboard queue... for science! :)

Hi Riley, I was wondering if you'd be able to help out with a research project my colleagues are running on the effects of MoodBar/Feedback Dashboard. They're trying to see if getting a response to MoodBar feedback helps newbies edit more – but to do that, they need to (temporarily) raise the level of responses to as close to 100% as possible. (Don't worry; it's only a week-long test.) If you could help me spread the word among the other FD top responders you know to help us clear the backlog by June 19th, that would be awesome! More details about this test are on this page on Meta. Let me know if you have any questions and feel free to get in touch with other FD leaders about this if you want :) Thanks! Maryana (WMF) (talk) 23:34, 11 June 2012 (UTC)

You're doing a fantastic job!

Riley, thank you so much from me and the research team for your work on clearing the Feedback Dashboard backlog! You and the other responders have doubled the number of responses to feedback in the past few days. I wanted to let you know that there are just 4 more days to go until the test ends. At that point, the MoodBar will be temporarily disabled, so you won't see any new feedback coming in for a little while (this is just to get a sample of users to compare to the ones who could give feedback and get responses from you – it'll be back soon). So get all of your responding in while you can, because you might have to go through a bit of Feedback Dashboard withdrawal next week :) Thanks again, and keep up the great work! Maryana (WMF) (talk) 18:18, 14 June 2012 (UTC)

For your wonderful work on the Feedback Dashboard.  TOW  talk  21:16, 14 June 2012 (UTC)

Feedback Dashboard

Hi! I looked in the old feedback and there is lots of them so I want to respond them, but in the same time, new feedback is in the page. And you're the only one active now (I think), so can work a little extra time to respond the new feedback? If you can't, I will understand :D . Salma Vian (talk) 03:30, 15 June 2012 (UTC)

  • New feedback should slow down and then stop in the next couple of days – the researchers temporarily turned off the MoodBar for people registering right now, in order to get a control sample for their test – so you'll have time to catch up. It will be turned on again on the 29th. I just hope you guys don't get too bored next week without feedback! Maybe visit the Teahouse? :) Maryana (WMF) (talk) 17:49, 15 June 2012 (UTC)

Feedback templates

Um, are you checking these before you place them? You put this one on the talkpage of an indefinitely blocked vandal... Black Kite (talk) 19:11, 16 June 2012 (UTC)

Yes, I am checking before I place these but since I am not an administrator I cannot remove the feedback from the queue so I respond them even if the user is blocked. I have already brought the issue of not being able top remove there feedback from the queue. Now you are probably going to ask why I don't just ignore it? Well if I ignore it, it will stay at the top of a list for the rest of the year unless I contacted staff asking them to remove it from the queue but I doubt they want to be asked to hide feedback 10 times a day.
Cheers,
Riley Huntley talk No talkback needed; I'll temporarily watch here. 19:23, 16 June 2012 (UTC)
In that case what would probably be easier would be to just remove the feedback from the page after you've placed it, if you're dealing with a vandal. But I'll agree that there probably needs to be a userright that would allow other editors than admins from hiding the feedback. Black Kite (talk) 19:37, 16 June 2012 (UTC)

FishingKing, fighting to keep Wikipedia factual. (talk) 07:53, 17 June 2012 (UTC)

Any way of communication works for me, so sure! I would be glad to teach you about huggle and Igloo. So, have you downloaded huggle yet? If not, you can download it here (make sure it is the current version). Igloo can be downloaded by pasting importScript('User:Ale_jrb/Scripts/igloo.js'); // [[User:Ale_jrb/Scripts/igloo]] into your scripts page and press save! Then clear your browser cache, go to Igloo and click 'launch igloo'!

Expanding an article

Hey :D !

When I was searching for stubs, I found an article about Open University of Sudan. I looked in the internet for information. There's a website, but it's in Arabic. I know Arabic and I also speak it ( I'm expert at it). Anyway, when I write the information I've found , how can I add it? I mean, I can't put a website that in Arabic as a source for an English article, right? Salma Vian (talk) 09:51, 17 June 2012 (UTC)

Sorry for the late reply! Per WP:NOENG it states "When citing a non-English source for information, it is not always necessary to provide a translation. However, if a question should arise as to whether the non-English original actually supports the information, relevant portions of the original and a translation should be given in a footnote, as a courtesy."
So yes, you may add the website as a reference. Cheers,

Ok, from now can you basically teach me anything useful which I can use to he,p fight vandalism

FishingKing, fighting to keep Wikipedia factual. (talk) 19:51, 17 June 2012 (UTC)

Sure, now since a major part of reverting vandalism is warning the user you can go to my guide here for templates, how to warn users and how not to warn users. The reason I am making guides is because I find it is easier teaching with them instead of making a thousand messages. Cheers,

Hey Make Me some Templates Please

Here i have an list of Ideas Of Templates To Make For The Call Of Duty Wiki Project and some ideas on editing some.

  • One For Me The, Creator That Say This User Is The User And Founder of WikiProject Call Of Duty and if you can put some sort of lock on it so only i Can Use It.
  • One For You The Graphic Desinger
  • Put A Call Of Duty Modern Warfare 3 Photo in the UserBox You Made That say This User is A is a member of WikiProject Call Of Duty.

And Can I Have A Barnstar For Being The Creator and Founder Of Wikipedia: WikiProject: Call of Duty and to Boost my rep on Wikipedia. - Pacman451 (talk) 20:52, 17 June 2012 (UTC)

I would be glad to! Try not to use caps so much though :). Also, can I move the article into the Wikipedia:WikiProject Video games namespace like the GTA taskforce, it would get you more participants.

Hi Riley. Thanks for stopping by the Teahouse. Right now we have more hosts and people answering questions than we do people coming to the Teahouse asking questions. I saw you signed up to be a Host, and I haven't invited the new people interested yet since we're a haven't entered a phase yet where we need more people immediately. However, it's great to see you're excited about the project. I would like to ask your help in specifically inviting new users at this time. You can find information about the invitation process here. Also, feel free to take a look at the Host tips|host tips page, as it explains a few things about us - how we greet new editors, the talk back templates we use, etc. This is also a great way to familiarize yourself with the Host methodology. Thanks again! And we're looking forward to your participation. I will ping you when we rotate out inactive hosts (and that could be soon!). Sarah (talk) 23:00, 17 June 2012 (UTC)

I did not realize that there was a edit count restriction on STiki, so you only option is Twinkle. To enable Twinkle on your account, receiving any future updates automatically, you can simply enable the "Twinkle" gadget in the Gadgets section of your Preferences page. (Don't forget to click "Save" at the bottom of the list of gadgets!) After installing, make sure to bypass your browser cache. Tell me when you have installed it.

Hello Riley Huntley. Thanks for patrolling new pages – it's a very important task! I'm just letting you know however, regarding Levi Cole Poulsen, that tagging articles for speedy deletion moments after creation as lacking context (CSD A1), content (CSD A3) and articles created through the Article Wizard, is too fast. It's best to wait at least 10–15 minutes for more content to be added if the page is very short, and the articles should not be marked as patrolled. Attack pages (G10), blatant nonsense (G1), pure vandalism (G3), and copyright violations (G12) should of course be tagged and deleted immediately. Thanks. Best regards, Cindy(talk to me) 20:22, 18 June 2012 (UTC)

Could I get your perspective please.

Hello, members of the Vandalism Studies Project! As some of us are quite new with the Vandalism Studies project, it would make sense for us to re-read some of the past studies, as well as studies outside the project. Please do so if you have a chance, just so we can get into the groove of things. We're planning on attempting to salvage the Obama study (or possibly simply convert it to a new Romney study), as well as hopefully begin our third study this November. If you have any ideas for Study 3, please suggest them! If you have any questions please post them on the project talk page.

User:Keelan717

I think I need a second opinion from someone who also knows what's going on here. The user appears to not understand the experiential expectations for adminship or bureaucrat nominations. I don't really have a problem with them nominating themselves and finding that out for themselves. However, I've noticed the editor editing under an IP too (e.g. responding to your question here. Again, it's a new user, so I'm not necessarily concerned, because they might've forgotten to sign in. What bothers me is that they are clearly trying to use two accounts per this edit to support his own nomination when the user already expressed support under their own username. This kind of behavior is never OK, even if these RfA/RfB/whatever aren't going anywhere. I'm thinking a warning on their talk page is needed right now, and should this kind of socking continue, I think this needs to go to AN/I. What are your thoughts? I, Jethrobot drop me a line (note: not a bot!) 12:40, 1 September 2012 (UTC)

Keelan RfB

Are you serious about encouraging Keelan (1 edit to mainspace) to run for crathip? I think this is extremely misplaced, and if it's a joke, it's in very bad taste. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 13:36, 1 September 2012 (UTC)

I was not encouraging the user, he joined IRC asking how to make it so others could vote and how to create a RfB but left before I could tell him how to do the things. Since he already figured out how to make the page, I just informed him on what he asked to know. -- Cheers, Riley Huntley talk 15:08, 1 September 2012 (UTC)
With all due respect Riley, that should have immediately raised the concern that anyone who doesn't know how to apply shouldn't be applying, and to rapidly provide them with some appropriate advice. A quick look at his contribs would also have shown that he only had 1 edit to mainspace. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 15:23, 1 September 2012 (UTC)
Kudpung, you are assuming a lot of things. I was aware of the user's edit count and warned the user about it saying they were unlikely to pass, the user said he wanted to try anyways. -- Cheers, Riley Huntley talk 15:32, 1 September 2012 (UTC)

FWIW, he and his socks have been blocked. All his edits were vandalism including the fake RfA he started without permission for another user.

I think you may be archiving some requests too soon. I would have liked Courselles to have responded to an on-going discussion. I also think it's important to give it a couple of days for applicants to return to the board and see the responses - not everyone like you and I, is online 24/7 ;) Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 06:40, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

Which on-going discussion is that? I am currently archiving requests that have been decided at a minimum of two days (server time) ago? Were only online 24/7? Feels like longer. :D I apologize for any inconvenience, sorry. -- Cheers, Riley Huntley talk 06:43, 3 September 2012 (UTC)
Riley, I'll handle archiving Rollback requests, and you'll handle everything else, if it's fine with you. Armbrust's block expires on September 14th. Let's wait until the page has been cluttered to archive. PERM isn't that urgent. Best, Electric Catfish 11:20, 3 September 2012 (UTC).
Electriccatfish2, there really isn't a need for two of us archiving. Even if there was a backlog, two people archiving at the same time would be an accident waiting to happen. With that said, I am going to continue doing what I was doing. Anyways, why are you commenting on my talk page? This discussion is already on-going on your talk page. -- Cheers, Riley Huntley (public) talk 18:55, 3 September 2012 (UTC)
Kudpung, I went back and checked and I am assuming you mean "Calm As Midnight" right? I assumed the discussion was being taken over to your talk page. Again, sorry for the inconvenience. -- Cheers, Riley Huntley talk 19:19, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

The Anti-Vandalism Barnstar
Thank you for all of your anti-vandalism work! Electric Catfish 15:53, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

You were absolutely right

The revert you made on Qin Shi Huang was correct, you were very intuitive! It was vandalism, feel free to warn that person. And thank you for being diligent, that page gets a high level of vandalism so it's a good idea to keep an eye on it. Apart from the regular contributors, the random ones maybe vandals. -- RexRowan  Talk  06:34, 4 September 2012 (UTC)

Thanks, I was a little confused with that one hahah. The user has been warned. Keep of all the great work with articles like Night in paintings (Eastern art) and Chinese fine art! -- Cheers, Riley Huntley talk
You are the first person welcomed me! You are very observant! Thank you very much for the praise, the articles were not my work alone, User:CaroleHenson helped me out a great deal both on editing and finding sources. I am slowly improving, which is a good sign. I still have so much to discover and learn!

By the way, I am thinking about writing some templates that will stimulate the understanding between neurotypical and autistic editors. This idea came from my personal experience of using smiley faces, they help me add correct tone to my words otherwise I find difficult and sometimes misunderstood.

Would you like to help out on drafting a project idea here? [3] -- RexRowan  Talk  15:56, 4 September 2012 (UTC)

Sure, the idea sounds really good. I cannot guarantee that others would like the idea though. I'm sure many others have trouble with communicating and having the wrong tone when meaning to have a good one. :) -- Cheers, Riley Huntley talk 14:28, 5 September 2012 (UTC)
Ok, I have written the skeleton in my bad English, it's readable. Can you review it for me and add it to a category? You can beautify it wherever is needed. [4] -- RexRowan  Talk  16:47, 5 September 2012 (UTC)

Rollback at CVUA

Hi Riley. Since the discussion there was closed, I thought I'd reply to you here. The big problem with expecting editors to have rollback rights before becoming an instructor is that it excludes a number of good instructors. Anyone who doesn't want to use rollback, or has had it taken away for any reason in the past therefore cannot be an instructor. Rollback doesn't (or shouldn't) give any additional status, it's not required to revert vandalism and if you start using it as a requirement. I personally don't want rollback and if there was a way of getting rid of it as an admin, I would - I find the button more annoying than anything else. WormTT(talk) 07:53, 4 September 2012 (UTC)

I hear exactly what your saying and I agree with it. There are tons of great people out there [who don't have rollback] that would be great instructors. I guess the best we can do to get good instructors is to invite the right people. I will comment on this further after work. -- Cheers, Riley Huntley talk 15:31, 4 September 2012 (UTC)

Doctors (soap opera)

Hi, Thanks for your help in reference to my AWB request. Having had a check, unfortunately, it seems that not all of the links have been changed. I am assuming this is because a lot of pages don't refer directly to its old name, Doctors (2000 TV series), and use something like Doctors. Would you be able to do another run for this specific term, which should clear a lot? I will then have to look again to see what is left. If you don't have time, no problems - I only need a few more edits before I can get AWB myself. Thanks for your help, which is much appreciated. Adamiow (talk) 18:18, 5 September 2012 (UTC)

The Tea Leaf - Issue Six

Hi! Welcome to the sixth edition of The Tea Leaf, the official newsletter of the Teahouse!

  • Teahouse serves over 700 new editors in six months on Wikipedia! Since February 27, 741 new editors have participated at the Teahouse. The Q&A board and the guest intro pages are more active than ever.
A lovely little teahouse nestled in Germany from Wiki Loves Monuments
  • Automatic invites are doing the trick: 50% more new editors visiting each week. Ever since HostBot's automated invite trial phase began we've seen a boost in new editor participation. Automating a baseline set of invitations also allows Teahouse hosts to focus on serving hot cups of help to guests, instead of spending countless hours inviting.
  • Guests to the Teahouse continue to edit more & interact more with other community members than non-Teahouse guests according to six month metrics. Teahouse guests make more than twice the article edits and edit more talk pages than other new editors.
  • New host process implemented which encourages anyone to get started as a Teahouse host in a few easy steps. Stop by the hosts page and become a Teahouse host today!
  • Host lounge renovations nearing completion. Working closely with Teahouse hosts, we've made some major renovations to the Teahouse Host Lounge - the main hangout and resource space for hosts. Learn more about the improvements here.

As always, thanks for supporting the Teahouse project! Stop by and visit us today!

Comments on my talk page

Hi Riley. I think it's best to ley me decide where I post things, and if I'm procedurally wrong, I'm sure my admin colleagues wilol tell me, so I'll handle my part of this the way I think best. I have already previously left suitable comments at AIN and what takes place on my tp is to help spare Anderson any more embarrassment and pile-ons at ANI. More than enough has been said on tje ANI, several admins concur, and it could have been closed when I suggested it should. It just remains now to see if the advice will be taken. Thanks. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 03:11, 6 September 2012 (UTC)

Sure, whatever you feel best! I just mentioned that so I wasn't posting the same message twice again. Have a good day. -- Cheers, Riley Huntley talk 03:32, 6 September 2012 (UTC)
FYI, see Anderson's talk page now - things are getting beyond control. If it continues, because I'm too involved now, I'll have to ask another admin for input and let them block, or impose a topic ban (best) if necessary. There won't be any need to go through the whole rigmarole of another ANI. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 08:03, 6 September 2012 (UTC)
Kudpung, if you want a topic ban (which I agree would be the best outcome, compared with blocking) it needs to be needs to be done by the community (hence, probably AN or ANI). "Individual editors, including administrators, may not directly impose bans" (Wikipedia:Topic ban#Decision to ban). Or have I missed something? Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 08:31, 6 September 2012 (UTC)
There is also the possibility that the user may voluntarily accept a topic ban, perhaps in lieu of a block, or as part of an unblock request. Not all bans have to go through the community. WormTT(talk) 08:55, 6 September 2012 (UTC)
Thanks Worm, is there somewhere it says that (I'm not meaning to be difficult, it's just so I have a reference to it in the future if needed)? Sorry for clogging up your talk page Riley. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 09:12, 6 September 2012 (UTC)
It's an agreement with the unblocking admin and so fits under IAR. Restrictions include topic bans, area bans, requirements for mentorship and so on. I believe the closest we get to actually having it written down as a solution is at Wikipedia:Editing restrictions#Types of restrictions, under probation. WormTT(talk) 09:21, 6 September 2012 (UTC)

Wikispecies

So you edit on Wikispecies? There are some really uptight, stressed out people there on Wikispecies. They take it as a job. I got chewed out by an administrator of all people because I didn't really know what was going on there. I literally think that I was traumatized for about a week. Check out my talk page there. I'm under the same username, there. That was scary. Lighthead þ 01:43, 10 September 2012 (UTC)

They definitely are uptight... I'm shocked by how they treated you, I actually wish there was something I could do :(. -- Cheers, Riley Huntley talk 01:56, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for the sympathy. No, there is nothing you can do. They need to do it themselves. Thanks. Lighthead þ 05:17, 10 September 2012 (UTC)

Page Curation update

Hey all :). We've just deployed another set of features for Page Curation. They include flyouts from the icons in Special:NewPagesFeed, showing who reviewed an article and when, a listing of this in the "info" flyout, and a general re-jigging of the info flyout - we've also fixed the weird bug with page_titles_having_underscores_instead_of_spaces in messages sent to talkpages, and introduced CSD logging! As always, these features will need some work - but any feedback would be most welcome. Thanks! Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 18:19, 10 September 2012 (UTC)

Active?

Are they actively processing requests on the Reviewer request page? That's almost why I didn't submit my request a couple days ago. Weird. Lighthead þ 19:04, 10 September 2012 (UTC)

It'll probably take more than a day for your request to get answered. I'm guessing it'll take ~4 days, which seems to be average. The request from the 30th should've been answered by now, but they're is no real deadline. --Mysterytrey 21:28, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
If you're incredibly worried about getting about it - which I see no reason why you should be, it's just a userright, and pending changes doesn't seem to coming for a while (given the tendency of "the Wikipedian" to argue about anything and everything) - you could just leave a message on an admin's talk asking them to take a look. Or just cross your fingers and hope for the best. ;0 Theopolisme 21:30, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
I'm neither impatient about it nor patiently waiting. I'm just wondering why the one before me was never answered back upon. I was just wondering if that sockpuppet investigation had anything to do with the delay. Yeah, I realize that it takes effect later this year. Just wondering aloud. Haha.

Notice and recommendation

Hi, just letting you know that I completed all six of your file renaming requests. All requests were completely valid, and you seem decently experienced in the file namespace. May I recommend that you request file-mover rights, because you know what you're doing and it would take the tedious work off of other file-movers' shoulders, if you moved the files yourself. Cheers, TRLIJC19 (talk • contribs) 21:00, 10 September 2012 (UTC)

I have requested the right. Thank you for moving those files. -- Cheers, Riley Huntley talk 23:52, 10 September 2012 (UTC)

WikiEmperor, we're talking about.

I have a question, since you've been on Wikipedia a really long time. If somebody has complete autocratic rule over a Wikiproject... is there a way to even report that. This person that I'm talking about; yeah he keeps those articles in line, but at what cost. It seems like no one can make any edits that don't meet with his personal approval. I don't see how that can be allowed, but it seems like he's gotten away with it for some time now. Please let me know. Thanks. I'm going to sleep right now on this side of the world (I'm not sure where you're from), so don't expect an immediate response to your response. Thanks, again. Lighthead þ 08:00, 11 September 2012 (UTC)

First, you should politely start a conversation on the user's talk page. If that goes nowhere, ask the whole Wikiproject to comment on it (wikiproject talk page). And if that goes nowhere, it might be best to take it too Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents. Could you email me some details? -- Cheers, Riley Huntley talk 13:59, 11 September 2012 (UTC)

Yeah, I'll do that. That'd probably be best. Lighthead þ 01:18, 12 September 2012 (UTC)

Is your email like this: Riley_Huntley@hotmail.com, or like this: riley_huntley@hotmail.com? I think maybe the latter, but I could be wrong. Just some advice; if it's the former, you should change hotmail to lowercase to avoid confusion (actually either way). Thanks. Lighthead þ 02:28, 12 September 2012 (UTC)
Email Riley_Huntley@hotmail.com or wikihuntley@hotmail.com (preferred). The simplest way to email me is by going to the top right corner, holding your mouse over "User" and by clicking "Email user". -- Cheers, Riley Huntley talk 02:40, 12 September 2012 (UTC)
I made the mistake and sent the message before checking for your reply. Sorry. I forgot to do that. But anyway I just sent it right now. Check your inbox! Lighthead þ 03:04, 12 September 2012 (UTC)
