[edit] Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Israel-Lebanon

Hello,

An Arbitration case in which you commented has been opened: Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Israel-Lebanon. Please add evidence to the evidence sub-page, Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Israel-Lebanon/Evidence. You may also contribute to the case on the workshop sub-page, Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Israel-Lebanon/Workshop.

[edit] August Esperanza Newsletter

Program Feature: To-Do List The Esperanza To-Do List is a place where you may list any request, big or small, for assistance. If you need help with archiving your usertalk, for example, all you need to do is list it here and somebody will help you out. Likewise, if you need help with some area of editing on Wikipedia, list it here! Again, any matter, trivial or not, can be placed on this page. However, all matters listed on this page must not be of an argumentative nature. You do not need to be a member of Esperanza (or this program) to place or fulfill requests on this page. If you don't have any requests, consider coming by and fulfilling a few! This program has not been very active, but has lots of potential! What's New? In order to help proposed programs become specific enough to make into full-fledged programs, the In development section of the proposals page has been created. Proposals that are promising, but need to be organized in more detail are listed here. Please take a look at what is there, and help the proposals turn into programs. To improve both the layout and text of the front page, in an attempt to clarify the image of Esperanza, the front page is going to have some redesigning take place. Please take your creative minds to Wikipedia:Esperanza/Front page redesign to brainstorm good ideas. Many thanks to MiszaBot, courtesy of Misza13, for delivering the newsletter.

The last AC meeting (full log) In order to make sure all users who join Esperanza are welcomed, a list of volunteers who are willing to welcome new Esperanzians is at Wikipedia:Esperanza/Members#Esperanza_welcomers. Please add yourself if you are interested; we want to make sure all new Esperanza members are welcomed! The In development section of the proposals page has been created. Proposals page: Some proposals have been moved to the aforementioned "In development" section, some have been left as a proposal, and others have been archived. For those proposals that were a good idea but didn't necessarily constitute a program, General Esperanzial Actions has been created. Two small pieces of charter reform will be decided on in a straw poll at Wikipedia talk:Esperanza/Governance. One involves filling the position of any councillors who may leave, the other involves reforming the charter. Until cooperation with the Kindness Campaign is better defined, it remains as a proposed program. There is a page for discussing the front page redesign. Signed... Natalya, Banes, Celestianpower, EWS23, FireFox, Freakofnurture, and Titoxd 05:03, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

Although having the newsletter appear on everyone's userpage is desired, this may not be ideal for everyone. If, in the future, you wish to receive a link to the newsletter, rather than the newsletter itself, you may add yourself to Wikipedia:Esperanza/Newsletter/Opt Out List.

[edit] Off-wiki communication

In terms of the off-wiki communication with my mediator, while I can certainly appreciate Cerejota's reaction to finding out that something existed that he wasn't aware of, communication with the principals is an important part of mediation, and moreover, that communication should remain confidential. I don't understand what problem may exist, but let me know if you think there is one. Cheers, Tewfik^Talk 08:51, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

I don't consider it inacceptable, and in one case I held some conversation in email, don't keeping the fact confidential. However, that was because a participant asked for this channel. It can sometimes be used, if, for instance, one has suspicions he is unsure about, and doesn't want to share yet, or if there's a suggestion author doesn't want to be associated with him. However, I think it should be done very carefully and only with compelling reasons. The problem is uniformity. It's fine if all parties communicate privately, but, when some write in the open, and some via email, it creates a certain degree of mistrust. In some cases a high degree, so the mediator, IMO, must be either sure that other parties don't feel uncomfortable about private communication, or have really compelling reasons. Most people just don't like to be discussed behind their backs. CP/M ^comm |Wikipedia Neutrality Project| 09:16, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

I certainly appreciate your points, but I do believe that the communication does fall into the instances that you describe, and shouldn't be grounds for the mediator's recusal, especially being that (admittedly, I'm biased) we've made some real progress, and show signs of resolving the issue. Cheers, Tewfik^Talk 15:40, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

Possibly it does. I just don't understand all of this. Well, one is free to refuse the mediation, and probably almost anyone from MedCab would leave if asked with reasoning, and if there were just two parties. But I don't get why would he ask for that - after all, it isn't that big deal. But, anyway, I start to think that something about private communication should be stated in our guidelines.

[edit] Your edit to Wikipedia:WikiProject US Governors

Your recent edit to Wikipedia:WikiProject US Governors (diff) was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to recognize and repair vandalism to Wikipedia articles. If the bot reverted a legitimate edit, please accept my humble creator's apologies – if you bring it to the attention of the bot's owner, we may be able to improve its behavior. Click here for frequently asked questions about the bot and this warning. // Tawkerbot2 07:04, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

Just a comment - Impressive speed. I didn't even see the blanked page - the bot reverted it so quickly it got replaced between page saving and loading.

P.S. There was an old not-even-started wikiproject with only a template which I cleaned to make space for a new one. The bot wasn't mistaken, I really deleted most of the page; of course it couldn't distinguish an article from an unfilled and useless template.

[edit] Discussion continued

Doesn't this article fall into the deletion requirements? By the way, here are User:Aleverde's contributions. ~ clearthought 17:56, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

Into speedy deletion, as CSD A7, or Unremarkable people or groups. With all my inclusionism, writing an article about each victim of a war isn't appropriate. Just being a victim implies an order of magnitude less notability than being in any garage band. My condolescences, but Wikipedia is not a memorial (it could be, I have nothing against), so I'll mark it as CSD. CP/M ^comm |Wikipedia Neutrality Project| 18:38, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

A note - I wrote the above after tagging as {{db-bio}}, and the article was speedied in meantime. CP/M ^comm |Wikipedia Neutrality Project| 18:41, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] CP/M

I was one of the last users of CP/M on the internet, using Lynx on an Amstrad PCW. How are you using CP/M? Fred Bauder 22:40, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

Actually, most of the time I just use my workstation or laptop with Linux or Windows to edit pages, but I still sometimes work in Internet using the PC at work or an old Toughbook, with CP/M-86 (and Lynx as well). The actual reason I use CP/M is using equipment with old controllers, with required utils only written for CP/M, and sometimes ISA cards needed as well, so that no upgrade is feasible. But I still list myself as CP/M user because it doesn't mean I use nothing else (I'm not -that- old-fashioned). And CP/M is today rare enough to be noteworthy, though not as exotic as it may seem - it was very popular in its times... though, well, I really don't need to tell that to you, I guess  ;-).

[edit] MedCab

"Maybe it would be better to bring the issue on the talk page, and allow user group to decide for themselves what do they want to write on their page?"

This is a public forum and it deserves comment. If they want to "decide from themselves," countless ISPs will sell them server space! I don't expect my changes to last, but I do expect these people to take notice.Yakuman 01:39, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

It's just like I don't decide what to write on your user page (not talk page) - despite it isn't private property, it's just commonly accepted way for someone to tell about himself. User groups have pages which serve a similar purpose. Also, mixing up first and third person is somewhat inconsistent. While it might be changed, the talk page is better for the discussion of major changes rather than edit summaries, and it isn't usually necessaty to implement changes for people to notice a suggestion. CP/M ^comm |Wikipedia Neutrality Project| 02:10, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Some Advice

Hey, you seem to know what you're doing, so do you think you could take a look at Camonna Tong and Kwama and give me some advice for them? As my "pet articles" I'd like to develop them some more but I've got a case of editor's block. I would put them up for review or something except I'm not entirely sure what kind of review they merit yet. Thanks your time. :) --Niroht 02:13, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

For Kwama, I'd suggest to put a screenshot for each section, and possibly expand the economic part, merge Mines section inside it. Also it would need a comprehensive lead, mentioning the hierarchy and importance of kwama mines as one of the main food sources.

I can't think of something for Camonna Tong - the material is quite limited, there isn't much to say, and not many concentrated sources. CP/M ^comm |Wikipedia Neutrality Project| 06:04, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the input, I'll see what I can do when I get time. --Niroht 17:30, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pie chart updated

I have updated

[edit] Morrowind

I changed it because I felt that Morrowind wasn't of medium importance (ie notability), but rather was of "high low" importance. Additionally, it didn't get all that great of reviews. Despite that, it won't bother me, if you change it back (assuming you haven't already). - A Link to the Past (talk) 20:23, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

Well, being quite a popular game even today, I don't think it is to be set to low. The Low rating is mostly either for in-game details (all other 100 articles about MW setting), or for games mostly not played and not remembered.

[edit] September Esperanza Newsletter

Program Feature: Barnstar Brigade Here in Wikipedia there are hundreds of wikipedians whose work and efforts go unappreciated. One occasionally comes across editors who have thousands of good edits, but because they may not get around as much as others, their contributions and hard work often go unnoticed. As Esperanzians we can help to make people feel appreciated, be it by some kind words or the awarding of a Barnstar. This is where the Barnstar Brigade comes in. The object of this program is to seek out the people which deserve a Barnstar, and help them feel appreciated. With your help, we can recognize more dedicated editors! What's New? September elections are upon us! Anyone wishing to be a part of the Advisory Council may list themselves as a candidate from 18 September until 24 September, with the voting taking place from 25 September to 30 September. Those who wish to help with the election staff should also list themselves! Appreciation Week, a program currently in development, now has its own subpage! Share your good ideas on how to make it awesome there! The Esperanza front page has been redesigned! Many thanks to all who worked hard on it. Many thanks to MiszaBot, courtesy of Misza13, for delivering the newsletter.

The last AC meeting (full log) The proposals page has been updated, with some proposals being archived. Since the program in development Appretiaion week is getting lots of good ideas, it now has its own subpage. The September 2006 Council elections will open for nominations on 18 September 2006. The voting will run from 25 September 2006 until 30 September 2006. If you wish to be a candidate or a member of the elections staff, please list yourself! The new Esperanza front page design has but put up - many thanks to all who worked on it!

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:Typhoon3.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Typhoon3.jpg. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be a justification explaining why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{fairusein|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

I'm not exactly familiar with browser javascript work, but it might be helpful to ask Tra. He knows javascript enough to write some tools, so I guess it won't be hard for him. Also you might ask Cerejota, he is a java programmer.

[edit] November Esperanza Newsletter

Program Feature: Admin Coaching (needs coaches!) Admin Coaching needs coaches!!! If you are an administrator, or even a generally experienced user, do consider signing up to be a coach. Admin Coaching, now being coordinated by HighwayCello, is a program for people who want help learning some of the more subtle aspects of Wikipedia policy and culture. People are matched with experienced users who are willing to offer coaching. The program is designed for people who have figured out the basics of editing articles; they're not newcomers any more, but they might want some help in learning new roles. In this way, Esperanza would help keep hope alive for Wikipedia because we would always be grooming the next generation of admins. What's New? The Tutorial Drive is a new Esperanza program! In an effort to make complicated processes on Wikipedia easier for everyone, Esperanza working to create and compile a list of tutorials about processes here on Wikipedia. Consider writing one! A discussion on how Esperanza relates to the encyclopedia has been started; please add your thoughts. Many thanks to MiszaBot, courtesy of Misza13, for delivering the newsletter.

The last AC meeting (full log) The list of proposed programs has been updated, with some proposals being archived. There is now a new program: the Tutorial Drive! Consider writing a tutorial on something you are good at doing on Wikipedia. The suggestion of adding a cohesive look to all the Esperanza pages is being considered; join the discussion if you are interested! In order to make a useful interlanguage welcome template, those involved in translation projects will be asked what English Wikipedia policies are most important and confusing to editors coming from other language Wikipedias. A discussion of Esperanza's role in Wikipedia is being held, with all thoughts of all Esperanzians wanted!

[edit] user:HQCentral

I notice your comments on User talk:HQCentral. We have just discovered that that user was a sock puppet of notorious plagiarist Primetime, who was banned by Jimbo. Wikipedia:Long term abuse/Primetime, Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/Primetime As a banned user all of his edits may be removed, and as a serial plagiarist all of his edits should be scrutinized. If you have a chance to review his article and talk page contributions on articles where you've worked with him it'd be a help. -Will Beback 02:28, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Not sure about him being a sockpuppet, though lack of attention to some things may suggest that; however, the user was editing quite actively, and at times constructively. Seems to have at least some real good intents (edited his analysis of House Made of Dawn), but often fails to listen to others. CP/M ^comm |Wikipedia Neutrality Project| 02:33, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Primetime has a love/hate relationship with Wikipedia. He adores the Encyclopedia Britannica and other printed encyclopedias. He thinks WP is horrible, yet has decided to improve it by copying in large chunks of text from other reference books while claiming they're his own work. Edits like this [3], [4], [5] are classic cases or plagiarism. Furthermore, it's been proven by the Checkuser tool. His combativeness, such as HQC showed the House Made of Dawn analysis, is also typical of Primetime. There's no question that he and HQC are the same person. -Will Beback 09:52, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Convinced now. He just acts not in a vandalistic way. CP/M ^comm |Wikipedia Neutrality Project| 10:34, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

We were all slow in recognizing his vandalism. He seems (more or less) reasonable, if sometimes bullying. FYI, I've posted a notice about his latest appearances here Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard#Primetime = plagiarism. Thanks for improving theproject despite these distractions. Cheers, -Will Beback 10:52, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Yes, that's it. It is generally very uncommon for a vandal or troll to participate in mediation and even agree with compromises, but still I had a suspicion that he isn't the one who wrote the material (as he couldn't summarize it). Probably that's just so. I don't think he's a vandal, just completely locked on what he wants with little regard to others or to rules. However, some major edits would better be checked, as they might be copies, but not violations. Also, many could be rewritten, so it would likely be better to move them in the talk pages, unless evidence is present. CP/M ^comm |Wikipedia Neutrality Project| 12:10, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

I appreciate your extending good faith to Primetime. That's an excellent habit. However there are some occasions when it's misplaced. I and others have spent a considerable amount of time reviewing his contributions and finding the sources. Based on that experience I can say that he hasn't made a single substantive contribution of text that wasn't copied. When confronted he lies and counterattacks. Due to his infecting the encyclopedia with plagiarized material and bullying other editors this person has proven a lack of good faith and is no longer allowed to participate. It's sad, but true. -Will Beback 12:50, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

(late, but) - Well, I'm not really arguing. You've just asked for my review of his edits, so I stated my impression - it happens that I hadn't really faced the dark side. I trust people who have more in-depth knowledge of his actions. By saying I think he isn't a vandal I mean his intent seemed to me to be not to deface/destroy Wikipedia, but to shape it to his vision, which is incompatible with real limitations, accepted concepts and requirements; well, to the extent I've seen his actions with that specific sockpuppet.

[edit] Serial Experiments Lain FAC (again)

Hi CP/M. I remember you helping out when I started working on Serial Experiments Lain, so I thought you might want to know it is undergoing FAC at the moment. I wish you a happy new year, a happy Eid el Kabir, and lots of great stuff. --SidiLemine 14:20, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

It really changed a lot! Yes, now it really looks and reads fine, though might use some expansion. CP/M ^comm |Wikipedia Neutrality Project| 14:52, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. I'll continue working on it anyway as I still have lots of unused material, but I wanted to know if it passed before the new year, as a kind of omen. ;) Cheers!

[edit] "Final solution" to Deus Ex related articles reply

That might be a good idea. Which article do you suggest? -- Grandpafootsoldier 03:02, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Probably UNATCO, as it has some references already, and can have a clear real-world reference (the UNATCO website which was removed because it looked too real after 9/11). Didn't find it right now, but it was somewhere amond DX articles. It still needs some more external refs, but I've unfortunately lost the touch with DX community in last couple years.

[edit] The Military history WikiProject Newsletter: Issue XI - January 2007

The Military history WikiProject Newsletter Issue XI - January 2007

Project news A set of five criteria for B-Class status has been introduced; new parameters are available in {{WPMILHIST}} to keep track of articles' progress with regard to these criteria. The implementation of the new naming convention for military units is continuing. The Nordic military history task force has been created. All task forces now have their own sets of assessment statistics, logs, and worklists available. {{Infobox War Faction}} has been created for use with factions participating in a war. A gallery of military related featured pictures has been compiled as part of the project's showcase. Several new category naming conventions have been introduced: All categories classifying military conflicts and operations by country (such as Category:Battles by country) have been changed to use "X involving Y" in place of "X of Y". For example, Category:Battles of France is now Category:Battles involving France. All categories classifying warfare by era (such as Category:Battles by era) have been changed to use "X of the Y era" in place of "Y X". For example, Category:Industrial battles is now Category:Battles of the Industrial era.

[edit] The Military history WikiProject Newsletter: Issue XII - February 2007

The Military history WikiProject Newsletter Issue XII - February 2007
Project news The new consolidated review department—combining the existing project peer review and A-Class review with a listing of project articles undergoing various external featured content candidacies and reviews—is now operational. Two new templates have been introduced: {{Infobox Firearm Cartridge}}, a primary infobox for use with firearm cartridges and artillery shells. {{Command structure}}, an auxiliary infobox designed for use with {{Infobox Military Unit}}. An effort is being made to have task forces maintain annotated bibliographies for their topic areas; several task forces have already begun to construct them. The project reached two important milestones this month: 500 active members and 30,000 articles in the assessment system. A military version of Wikipe-tan has been created; a new userbox featuring one of the images is available for interested project members.	From the coordinators The third project coordinator elections have now concluded. Seven coordinators have been selected to serve for the next six months: Carom (talk • contribs) FayssalF (talk • contribs) Kirill Lokshin (talk • contribs) Kyriakos (talk • contribs) LordAmeth (talk • contribs) Petercorless (talk • contribs) Wandalstouring (talk • contribs) Congratulations to the winners, and thanks to all of the candidates who put themselves forward for this responsibility, and to the retiring coordinators for all of their efforts to improve the project! Kirill Lokshin, Lead Coordinator
Current proposals and discussions {{Infobox National Military}} is being developed to replace the old {{Military}} template; comments on the draft version are welcome. A proposal to introduce a category tree for military campaigns, as well as a number of associated classification guidelines, is being discussed; comments would be very appreciated.
