I was asked which editors had supported what I considered SYNTH in the PNAC article. MrX said he had not supported the SYNTH, and I struck his name - Fyddlestix said he had not supported the edit - and he accused me in several places of "Thanks for the ping, I also had no idea that a dispute I am involved in (and my actions/edits) were being discussed (and grossly misrepresented) here. Fyddlestix (talk) 01:30, 16 March 2015 (UTC)", " Also, this is just petty. Your refusal to accept RS as RS is the reason why that article is over-cited. Fyddlestix (talk) 05:01, 16 March 2015 (UTC) ", "@Collect:, this is not about the article or the AFD. It's about your behavior. You knowingly made false statements about me, Ubikwit, JBH, and Mr X's position on this issue above, behind our backs, without notifying us. " (note that since then I ping anyone whom I mention in any post where remotely applicable). Then
Meanwhile MastCell has iterated claims that I charged editors with Anti-Semitism - which is a gross and flagrant accusation one well ought to take umbrage at " Collect has invoked McCarthy here, here, here, here, here, and here (with a bonus implication of anti-Semitism), and that's just in the last couple of days. ... MastCell 17:48, 16 March 2015 (UTC), and the wonderful calumnies iterated as "Collect has kept up a steady drumbeat of comments and edit summaries which backhandedly imply that his opponents are promoting anti-semitism, conspiracy ..." (from Fyddlestix), Mastcell: Ubikwit has edit-warred to restore extremely dubious external links, while Collect has repeated unsubstantiated and irresponsible accusations of anti-Semitism against Ubikwit. MastCell Talk 06:52, 6 February 2015) " which has the exceedingly minor problem that I have never ever accused Ubikwit of anti-Semitism -- which I pointed out to Mastcell at [1].
But since he iterates the same abusive claim that I called anyone "anti-Semitic" I trust you will show as much umbrage as at my use of "lie" where the other party made the specific accusation first. And files an SPI on me when I was unable to respond to the absurd claims made therein. Cheers. If ArbCom would give me sufficient space to answer each "charge" at length - as with the "Collect used the word 'lie'" argument, the case would take me over 60 hours to prepare , and over 10,000 words. Cheers. And please avoid judging anyone on the basis of a single post wrenched from context - it is not a good idea. If you were repeatedly accused of calling someone "anti-Semitic" - would you let it slide with three words? But hell -- MastCell at [2] calls me Charles Pooter, [3] states the PNAC SYNTH (found so at AfD) was not a BLP violation <g>, and the like.
For the harassment allegation - I sent the list of Viriditas diffs to several arbs - which they should certainly know about. Why not to AE? Because I was unable to post at AE as I pointed out to Sandstein. Just as I was unable to answer the SPI accusation made by Fyddlestix. I trust you can see why folks making multiple simultaneous actions against a user might conceivably be viewed as harassment by that user? I have thought you generally of sound judgment, and ask now that you consider this post in the light of a rapid judgment that I was guilty of saying "lie" when the other editor made that precise accusation against me - and no one gives a damn. What I did was use his own claim against him - with diffs. Cheers. Collect ( talk) 23:40, 1 April 2015 (UTC)

Hello! Are you using ~~~~
when signing? Wouldn't that use your sig configured at
Special:Preferences and add the datestamp? I ask because it appears the datestamp in your signature is wrapped in a <small>
tag, and it uses
entities as spaces, and finally adds a <br/>
tag at the end. This is not good because bots and scripts are not able to interpret it as a valid wiki-inserted datestamp (e.g. archiving bots, timezone changing scripts, etc). On some pages this could conceivably cause bots to malfunction entirely. Please consider allowing the software to insert the datestamp for you. Thanks! —

hi.
please look at special:Diff/670748306. the diff may look subtle, but if you look at the "before", you'll notice that the spam report somehow belongs to " Category:Computer architecture", which is of course bogus (i found this perversion when i looked for stuff in the category, and was surprised to find this spam report there).
the reason is that the report contains unchecked [[{{{pagename|}}}]], and if the pagename happens to be "Category:XXX", the report belongs to this category.
the remedy is to test if parameter pagename begins with "Category:", and if it does, prepend it with colon.
since you are the last editor that touched this page, i'm asking that you will fix it - i'd rather not muck with something that complex, that is precluded in so many pages.

Hi, you wrote to me asking me to review your one-year block of 25 March 2013. I can't remember what that was all about, but the block has expired for more than a year now. The matter is therefore, I think, very much moot. If you think that the block needed review, the year during which it was active would have been ample time for that.

Bummer about your RfA and thank you for the cookies. I have actually been thinking about running that gauntlet myself, and have asked some people what they think, but I'm rather concerned that after nine years on-wiki, I've sometimes ben too candid and made a few too many enemies. I've also been told that my AfD stats aren't good enough, that I'm too snarky, and other things that seem to me to be kind of irrelevant, but apparently matter a lot to those who !vote at RfA. Yet I have also had numerous people say that I'm just the sort of person who should run. What are your thoughts? Should I consider throwing my hat in the ring?

Hey there! This is trivial, and sorry for even bringing this to your attention: On discussion pages, I notice you're apparently editing the last section and then adding your new section within it. This is a problem because from the watchlist it looks like you edited the previous section when really you've created a new one. Instead consider using the "New section" button at the top the page. It will generate an automated edit summary "Section title: New section", making it very clear what's happened. The added bonus is you don't need to bother with the == Section heading ==
markup, there's a convenient text field available to enter the section heading. Finally, you won't run into edit conflicts! Just thought I'd let you know, thanks —

Consider getting more involved with a sister project like Wiktionary, Wikiquote, or Wikisource, and seeking adminship there. Nothing signifies trust with the tools like already having them and using them wisely elsewhere in Wikimedia. Not that I've been snooping your edits or anything, but you have an edit history on Wiktionary that goes back eleven years, so if you were more active in that community for a few months, you would be a strong candidate.

Hello Rich, several days ago, I removed three "paywall" sources from Fox & Friends. The very first sentence contains the word "conservative" with four sources - two behind a paywall and one not supporting the claim. I replaced them with one New York Times source which succinctly supported the statement. That edit has been undone by an editor who says "Don't remove academic resources simply because they're behind a paywall or in print. Especially when you replace them with online opinion journalism." I don't want to get into an edit war with anyone, but it seems counter-productive to insist on using paywall sources that cannot be seen by non-subscribers (or print-only sources) when credible, current online sources (like NYT) are available. Can you please take a look and give me your opinion on the matter? Thanks SchoolMarm101 ( talk) 01:37, 13 August 2015 (UTC)

We are determined to improve the experience of Wikipedians, and your feedback helps us with that. (You are also welcome to leave non-anonymous feedback at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject X.)
Please complete the survey here. The survey has two parts: the first part asks for your username, while the second part contains the survey questions. These two parts are stored separately, so your username will not be associated with your feedback. There are only nine questions and it should not take very long to complete.

@ Rich Farmbrough: further to the debate at Talk:Princess Marie of Hesse and by Rhine, do you think it would be a good idea to investigate creating or amending Wikipedia policy so editors are prevented from giving a religion to young children, especially if the children are or were forced to perform religious beliefs and actions out of fear or terror of consequences or punishment (such as in Princess Marie's era)?

Hi! I am asking this here so I don't risk derailing the conversation `on the noticeboard. You mentioned "They have "abusefilter" on testwiki so they do not need it here". I have been considering getting more involved in abuse filters (right now I do mostly microcontroller programming in assembly and C) and could use a sandbox of some sort to use while learning. Would it be a good idea to ask for abusefilter on testwiki? This leads to a more general question; how does a person with programming skills but no Wikipedia filter experience learn the ropes without screwing something up while learning? -- Guy Macon ( talk) 01:37, 6 September 2015 (UTC)

provides a float right which, without the Userbox top it will misalign. You can maybe overcome this with {{

Hi, as a user in the edit filter manager user group we wanted to let you know about the new wikipedia-en-editfilters mailing list. As part of our recent efforts to improve the use of edit filters on the English Wikipedia it has been established as a venue for internal discussion by edit filter managers regarding private filters (those only viewable by administrators and edit filter managers) and also as a means by which non-admins can ask questions about hidden filters that wouldn't be appropriate to discuss on-wiki. As an edit filter manager we encourage you to subscribe; the more users we have in the mailing list the more useful it will be to the community. If you subscribe we will send a short email to you through Wikipedia to confirm your subscription, but let us know if you'd prefer another method of verification. I'd also like to take the opportunity to invite you to contribute to the proposed guideline for edit filter use at WP:Edit filter/Draft and the associated talk page. Thank you!

You thread-jacked insightfully
commented that it would be helpful to have a |wayback= param. :-)
I kinda-sorta agree, but I think that it would be better just to have auto-detection of the use of archive.org in the |archiveurl= param. The point of adding the |wayback= param, is that you can paste in the YYYYMMDDHHMMSS portion of the archive.org URL, and then elide the |archive-date= param.
However, if the template can simply detect and parse the contents of the |archiveurl= field, it would be possible to elide the |archive-date= param *and* the |url= param, too, since both are encoded in the full |archiveurl= contents. I also think it is simpler to cut-n-paste the entire URL of the archive.org snapshot (which is alt+d ctrl+c ctrl+tab ctrl+v for my tabbed browsing), than it is to cut-n-paste just the YYYYMMDDHHMMSS portion (which needs the mouse).
Anyways, figured I would leave a note here on your usertalk, with my suggested parse-the-existing-param-more-intelligently suggestion, in case you decide to further pursue an upgrade to the way that archiveurl is handled. 75.108.94.227 ( talk) 21:54, 9 September 2015 (UTC)

He has nominated several articles for speedy deletion, but has given reasons that clearly don't apply, and also has started a couple AFDs while giving almost no explanation of why he thinks the articles should be deleted (e.g., just saying "totally useless" or "its a stub"). He doesn't seem to have a good understanding of when the deletion policies apply or which articles should be deleted. Calathan ( talk) 18:42, 17 September 2015 (UTC)

The article Margaret Hannan has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.
If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{ prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:YK from Time Will Tell.png. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Long time, no post on your talk page — hope you're doing well. Just wanted to drop in quickly to ask a question about an edit you made recently, to {{ Complete list}}. The edit was the inclusion of the Articles containing potentially dated statements category. This category tree is built at the year and month level, however some uses of the template went right down to the day because that level of accuracy was possible, which broke the categorization when that was included.
Wondering if you had any thoughts on how that could be resolved without losing the specificity, short of creating sub-categories for every day of every month going forward? Mlaffs ( talk) 13:31, 21 December 2015 (UTC)

Hey, I need your help with this Template:Quote_Quran_translation. Can you please edit this template and make the text begins from the left side instead of the center?

And there's another thing – the template gives the "Translatornumber" for a specific number of translators, and when I replace the number with name of translator it shows "translated by error", for example:

Dear Rich, great to see you unleashed again! would it be possible to update Wikipedia:Articles with UK Geocodes but without images and ideally set some sort of regular refresh on it? The current list is extremely stale because of the Arbcom problem, and it would be much simpler for newbies if we didn't have to ask them to manually remove ones where they'd added an image. I was also wondering if it could perhaps be subdivided into two or three separate lists, the current one includes Bermuda and also British South Atlantic territories despite them not being covered by the Geograph. Ideally I would like two lists, one covering the UK and the other Eire - that would give us some good exercises for newbies with a high proportion of articles having images already on commons.

The Wikimedia Foundation is currently running a consultation on the value and planning process of Wikimania, and is open until 18 January 2016. The goals are to (1) build a shared understanding of the value of Wikimania to help guide conference planning and evaluation, and (2) gather broad community input on what new form(s) Wikimania could take (starting in 2018).
After reviewing the consultation, we'd like to hear your feedback on on this survey.
In addition, feel free to share any personal experiences you have had at at a Wikimedia movement conference, including Wikimania. We plan to compile and share back outcomes from this consultation in February.
With thanks,

Hi, I'm a user from Wikipedia in Italian language. I casually discovered some minutes ago that all the links in Wikipedia:London Gazette Index (created by you 5 years ago) needs to be updated. For example, the current link to the 5 November 1688 issue (http://www.london-gazette.co.uk/issues/2396/pages/1) now redirects to the home page of The Gazette website (https://www.thegazette.co.uk/), but fixing like this (http://www.thegazette.co.uk/London/issue/2396/page/1) it can be easily restored. In brief: http://www.london-gazette.co.uk/ must be replaced with http://www.gazette.co.uk/London/ and the final 's' of words like "issues", "pages", "supplements" (and so on) must be removed from the old URL addresses. Good luck! -- Mess ( talk) 23:00, 27 January 2016 (UTC)
Hi,
I know you are again permitted to run bots (with limitations), so no complaint about that. It looks though as if the current setup for Femtobot doesn't produce the wanted result, if I see it correctly. Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/Femto Bot 7 is about UK places needing pictures, but taking at random 6 pages from the list you produced gives five with images ( 2LO, Jubilee Walkway, Holborn, Blackfriars Rotunda and Surrey Institution) and only one without an image ( Lyon's Inn, which was demolished in 1863). The remainder of the list seems to have a similar rate of articles with images already, and also contains things like Asant\u00e9 Academy of Chinese Medicine or Bromley & Sheppard\u2019s Colleges which is probably an accent gone wrong, or Luxury real estate which isn't really a place in England, and Swimming at the 2012 Summer Olympics and so on. As it stands, it doesn't look to be a very useful list yet. Fram ( talk) 18:50, 1 February 2016 (UTC)

I am active on another wiki, and there is template there that doesn't behave like I would want it to. I copied it onto User:Debresser/Testcases, and called it on User:Debresser/Sandbox.

Hey Rich, thank you for helping with the Global Names Index and changing the first few letters with the newer more appropriate search. I was thinking of adding the rest of the letters from the source Raul created for me: [35], however they are set using the old search feature. Has it been easy for you to change the list with the letters A? I was thinking of adding the rest of the letters from the list but I was wondering if you have scripts or an easier method to change them to the newer method? Otherwise I would be happy to add them myself and then maybe you can change them the way you did with the first 10 A pages? Maybe you can make a suggestion? Kind regards.

Apologies for contacting you out of the blue. I am currently writing a book review for the Times Literary Supplement on the history of encyclopaedias, and was hoping to use the example of the Wikipedia page on best-selling books of all time as an extended example of the benefits and perils of Wikipedia. I was wondering whether you might be willing to have a brief email correspondence about the history of the page-edits (esp. the sales figures for Tale of Two Cities)? I'd be very grateful, if so.

Hi RF,
I trust you're fine. I need clarification on a particular source. User:Plx1 once stated on the evidence page that every single sources in the Igogo festival are fake and forgery. This is very untrue. The major mistakes I made was that I never knew that the exact page is what should be cited when citing google books. I fixed the problems with sources in that article, I also add new sources. I explained these mistakes of not citing the exact page on the evidence page under my section. One of the sources User:Plx1 described as forgery " Poynor, Robin (November 1987). "Ako Figures of Owo and Second Burials in Southern Nigeria". African Arts (UCLA James S. Coleman African Studies Center) 21 (1): 62–63+81–83+86–87. doi:10.2307/3336502." did supported the claim that Igogo festival is combined with new yam celebration and I used the source to support that single line. User:PIx1 returned to the evidence page to write ""a new reference has appeared, supposed to be about the celebration of new yams. This Poynor's paper is easy to find [1]. Page 86 is made of end notes. None of them is about yams or the Igogo festival. Nor any other part of this reference paper. Dear mentors, any comments ?"
I was surprised to see this comment because that source on page 86 reads:
"The number seventeen seems to be of ritual significance in Owo. Igogo, the most important annual festival in the kingdom, a combination of New Yam festival and purification ceremony merged with a memorial to the goddess Oronshen, also takes place over a seventeen-day period. The burial of the Olowo takes seventeen ritual days. These and other significant ceremonies all begin on the day of the five-day market."
I was confused and I left a message on their talk page here pointing them to what the source actually says. I asked if there is something I am missing so that they can point me to it because I don't understand why they felt the sources didn't supported the claim. User:Plx1 ignored me and returned to the evidence page to write
"these fake references have been trashed out by their author (and the article reduced from 11,250 bytes to 6,928 bytes). At [11], a new reference has appeared, supposed to be about the celebration of new yams. This Poynor's paper is easy to find [1]. Page 86 is made of end notes. None of them is about yams or the Igogo festival. One of them, note 3, is about the signification of a 17 days period. One line refers to yams. Nor any other part of this reference paper. Dear mentors, any comments ?
I was perplexed to see this again. I am learning but I'm not sure why they feel the source didn't supported the claim and the source is a forgery. I contacted User:Smartse for clarification perhaps I'm missing anything but Smartse said "the reference is saying (in very brief passing) that the festival is similar to the New yam festival but doesn't explicitly state that yams are celebrated during Igogo. Although English is not my primary language but I don't think the source is saying "Igogo festival is similar to the New yam festival". Is that what the source is saying?

Hi. Just a reminder that in just over a week at Wikimania there's going to be a cross-Wiki discussion about the systems of control of new pages. This is a round-table rather than a presentation or a lecture. On the agenda are reforms to the new article reviewing systems and ways to help new users better understand our content policies. If you are going to Italy and would like to take part, please check out the conference schedule, and I look forward to seeing you there. -- Kudpung กุดผึ้ง ( talk) 18:51, 14 June 2016 (UTC)
Hi Rich,
I have just written my first article for wiki and would appreciate some feedback from someone experienced, before I get it live!
Would you be able to have a look at it for me? /info/en/?search=Draft:Arden_University

Hi! Maybe I could ask a favor to you? As you had that script for counting word frequency this probably shouldn't take too much time. The basic idea: I want to order templates by number of parser functions, that they use. So basically the script should loop trough all templates (in dump file) and for each template count number of these (have to make text lowercased, because of "#IF:" etc.): "#expr:", "#if:", "#ifeq:", "#iferror:", "#ifexpr:", "#ifexist:", "#rel2abs:", "#switch:", "#time:", "#timel:", "#titleparts:", and then group by parser function name. If script could skip {{#invoke:, then it would be great. The result would be something like
Template {{#if 123 Template {{#ifeq 12 Template2 {{#switch 3 ...
Clarification: for Latvian Wikipedia, not English Wikipedia. And one additional task (probably can be done in one run). Could you count number of "<ref" for each article? Want to know, which articles have the most refs. I know, that this won't be accurate, but still - it would be interesting to see results. -- Edgars2007 ( talk/ contribs) 08:36, 18 June 2016 (UTC)

I was asked which editors had supported what I considered SYNTH in the PNAC article. MrX said he had not supported the SYNTH, and I struck his name - Fyddlestix said he had not supported the edit - and he accused me in several places of "Thanks for the ping, I also had no idea that a dispute I am involved in (and my actions/edits) were being discussed (and grossly misrepresented) here. Fyddlestix (talk) 01:30, 16 March 2015 (UTC)", " Also, this is just petty. Your refusal to accept RS as RS is the reason why that article is over-cited. Fyddlestix (talk) 05:01, 16 March 2015 (UTC) ", "@Collect:, this is not about the article or the AFD. It's about your behavior. You knowingly made false statements about me, Ubikwit, JBH, and Mr X's position on this issue above, behind our backs, without notifying us. " (note that since then I ping anyone whom I mention in any post where remotely applicable). Then
Meanwhile MastCell has iterated claims that I charged editors with Anti-Semitism - which is a gross and flagrant accusation one well ought to take umbrage at " Collect has invoked McCarthy here, here, here, here, here, and here (with a bonus implication of anti-Semitism), and that's just in the last couple of days. ... MastCell 17:48, 16 March 2015 (UTC), and the wonderful calumnies iterated as "Collect has kept up a steady drumbeat of comments and edit summaries which backhandedly imply that his opponents are promoting anti-semitism, conspiracy ..." (from Fyddlestix), Mastcell: Ubikwit has edit-warred to restore extremely dubious external links, while Collect has repeated unsubstantiated and irresponsible accusations of anti-Semitism against Ubikwit. MastCell Talk 06:52, 6 February 2015) " which has the exceedingly minor problem that I have never ever accused Ubikwit of anti-Semitism -- which I pointed out to Mastcell at [1].
But since he iterates the same abusive claim that I called anyone "anti-Semitic" I trust you will show as much umbrage as at my use of "lie" where the other party made the specific accusation first. And files an SPI on me when I was unable to respond to the absurd claims made therein. Cheers. If ArbCom would give me sufficient space to answer each "charge" at length - as with the "Collect used the word 'lie'" argument, the case would take me over 60 hours to prepare , and over 10,000 words. Cheers. And please avoid judging anyone on the basis of a single post wrenched from context - it is not a good idea. If you were repeatedly accused of calling someone "anti-Semitic" - would you let it slide with three words? But hell -- MastCell at [2] calls me Charles Pooter, [3] states the PNAC SYNTH (found so at AfD) was not a BLP violation <g>, and the like.
For the harassment allegation - I sent the list of Viriditas diffs to several arbs - which they should certainly know about. Why not to AE? Because I was unable to post at AE as I pointed out to Sandstein. Just as I was unable to answer the SPI accusation made by Fyddlestix. I trust you can see why folks making multiple simultaneous actions against a user might conceivably be viewed as harassment by that user? I have thought you generally of sound judgment, and ask now that you consider this post in the light of a rapid judgment that I was guilty of saying "lie" when the other editor made that precise accusation against me - and no one gives a damn. What I did was use his own claim against him - with diffs. Cheers. Collect ( talk) 23:40, 1 April 2015 (UTC)

Hello! Are you using ~~~~
when signing? Wouldn't that use your sig configured at
Special:Preferences and add the datestamp? I ask because it appears the datestamp in your signature is wrapped in a <small>
tag, and it uses
entities as spaces, and finally adds a <br/>
tag at the end. This is not good because bots and scripts are not able to interpret it as a valid wiki-inserted datestamp (e.g. archiving bots, timezone changing scripts, etc). On some pages this could conceivably cause bots to malfunction entirely. Please consider allowing the software to insert the datestamp for you. Thanks! —

Hello Rich Farmbrough,
I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Elias Neau for deletion, because it doesn't appear to contain any encyclopedic content. Take a look at our suggestions for essential content in short articles to learn what should be included.
If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.
You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Fitnr 18:26, 7 July 2015 (UTC)
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article David Mintz is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/David Mintz until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Garchy ( talk) 16:48, 9 July 2015 (UTC)
hi.
please look at special:Diff/670748306. the diff may look subtle, but if you look at the "before", you'll notice that the spam report somehow belongs to " Category:Computer architecture", which is of course bogus (i found this perversion when i looked for stuff in the category, and was surprised to find this spam report there).
the reason is that the report contains unchecked [[{{{pagename|}}}]], and if the pagename happens to be "Category:XXX", the report belongs to this category.
the remedy is to test if parameter pagename begins with "Category:", and if it does, prepend it with colon.
since you are the last editor that touched this page, i'm asking that you will fix it - i'd rather not muck with something that complex, that is precluded in so many pages.
thanks, peace - קיפודנחש (aka kipod) ( talk) 00:02, 10 July 2015 (UTC)
Hi Rich - Sorry to see how the RFA went. I was impressed by your tact and clear-mindedness throughout the whole thing, which was, in part, the reason why I switched from oppose to support.

Hi! I would be interested in getting such list for Latvian Wikipedia. We have much, much more smaller Wikipedia than this one (have 61tk articles, from which nearly half are marked as stubs), so it would be much more faster. Could you make it (when you have free time, of course)? -- Edgars2007 ( talk/ contribs) 12:21, 10 July 2015 (UTC)
OK this is an obscure bug, probably related to the CPAN bz2 library, because if I run the program on the unzipped XML it gives good results like:
So I can re-run for Latvian, and investigate updating the perl IO::Uncompress::Bunzip2 library. But it's annoying that the English one (3 days run time estimate) will have bugs, even if they don't show, and I can't tie that machine up for another three days.

Bummer about your RfA and thank you for the cookies. I have actually been thinking about running that gauntlet myself, and have asked some people what they think, but I'm rather concerned that after nine years on-wiki, I've sometimes ben too candid and made a few too many enemies. I've also been told that my AfD stats aren't good enough, that I'm too snarky, and other things that seem to me to be kind of irrelevant, but apparently matter a lot to those who !vote at RfA.

Hey there! This is trivial, and sorry for even bringing this to your attention: On discussion pages, I notice you're apparently editing the last section and then adding your new section within it. This is a problem because from the watchlist it looks like you edited the previous section when really you've created a new one. Instead consider using the "New section" button at the top the page. It will generate an automated edit summary "Section title: New section", making it very clear what's happened. The added bonus is you don't need to bother with the == Section heading ==
markup, there's a convenient text field available to enter the section heading. Finally, you won't run into edit conflicts! Just thought I'd let you know, thanks —

Consider getting more involved with a sister project like Wiktionary, Wikiquote, or Wikisource, and seeking adminship there. Nothing signifies trust with the tools like already having them and using them wisely elsewhere in Wikimedia. Not that I've been snooping your edits or anything, but you have an edit history on Wiktionary that goes back eleven years, so if you were more active in that community for a few months, you would be a strong candidate.

Hello Rich, several days ago, I removed three "paywall" sources from Fox & Friends. The very first sentence contains the word "conservative" with four sources - two behind a paywall and one not supporting the claim. I replaced them with one New York Times source which succinctly supported the statement. That edit has been undone by an editor who says "Don't remove academic resources simply because they're behind a paywall or in print. Especially when you replace them with online opinion journalism." I don't want to get into an edit war with anyone, but it seems counter-productive to insist on using paywall sources that cannot be seen by non-subscribers (or print-only sources) when credible, current online sources (like NYT) are available. Can you please take a look and give me your opinion on the matter? Thanks SchoolMarm101 ( talk) 01:37, 13 August 2015 (UTC)

Ireland–United Kingdom relations is the primary topic of those phrases, however that is the consensus. Having different versions of very similar phrases redirecting to different pages should be avoided. I recommend you open a discussion to redirect all of the phrases if you wish.

Hello!
First, on behalf of WikiProject X, thank you for trying out the WikiProject X pilot projects. I would like to get some anonymous feedback from you on your experience using the new WikiProject layout and tools. This way, we will know what we did right, and if we did something horribly wrong, we can try to fix it. This feedback won't be associated with your username, so please be completely honest. We are determined to improve the experience of Wikipedians, and your feedback helps us with that. (You are also welcome to leave non-anonymous feedback at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject X.)
Please complete the survey here. The survey has two parts: the first part asks for your username, while the second part contains the survey questions. These two parts are stored separately, so your username will not be associated with your feedback. There are only nine questions and it should not take very long to complete. Once you complete the survey I will leave a handwritten note on your talk page as a token of my appreciation.
Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you, Harej ( talk) 17:49, 2 September 2015 (UTC)

the page's discussion directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Administrators will consider your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. If you believe the original discussion was unjustified, please contact the administrator who deleted the page or use
deletion review instead of recreating the page. Thank you.

Hi! I am asking this here so I don't risk derailing the conversation `on the noticeboard. You mentioned "They have "abusefilter" on testwiki so they do not need it here". I have been considering getting more involved in abuse filters (right now I do mostly microcontroller programming in assembly and C) and could use a sandbox of some sort to use while learning. Would it be a good idea to ask for abusefilter on testwiki?

Hi, as a user in the edit filter manager user group we wanted to let you know about the new wikipedia-en-editfilters mailing list. As part of our recent efforts to improve the use of edit filters on the English Wikipedia it has been established as a venue for internal discussion by edit filter managers regarding private filters (those only viewable by administrators and edit filter managers) and also as a means by which non-admins can ask questions about hidden filters that wouldn't be appropriate to discuss on-wiki. As an edit filter manager we encourage you to subscribe; the more users we have in the mailing list the more useful it will be to the community. If you subscribe we will send a short email to you through Wikipedia to confirm your subscription, but let us know if you'd prefer another method of verification. I'd also like to take the opportunity to invite you to contribute to the proposed guideline for edit filter use at WP:Edit filter/Draft and the associated talk page. Thank you!

You thread-jacked insightfully
commented that it would be helpful to have a |wayback= param. :-)
I kinda-sorta agree, but I think that it would be better just to have auto-detection of the use of archive.org in the |archiveurl= param. The point of adding the |wayback= param, is that you can paste in the YYYYMMDDHHMMSS portion of the archive.org URL, and then elide the |archive-date= param.
However, if the template can simply detect and parse the contents of the |archiveurl= field, it would be possible to elide the |archive-date= param *and* the |url= param, too, since both are encoded in the full |archiveurl= contents. I also think it is simpler to cut-n-paste the entire URL of the archive.org snapshot (which is alt+d ctrl+c ctrl+tab ctrl+v for my tabbed browsing), than it is to cut-n-paste just the YYYYMMDDHHMMSS portion (which needs the mouse).
Anyways, figured I would leave a note here on your usertalk, with my suggested parse-the-existing-param-more-intelligently suggestion, in case you decide to further pursue an upgrade to the way that archiveurl is handled. 75.108.94.227 ( talk) 21:54, 9 September 2015 (UTC)

He has nominated several articles for speedy deletion, but has given reasons that clearly don't apply, and also has started a couple AFDs while giving almost no explanation of why he thinks the articles should be deleted (e.g., just saying "totally useless" or "its a stub").

The article Margaret Hannan has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.
If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{ prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

Hello Rich Farmbrough,
I wanted to let you know that I just tagged 2100 for deletion, because it's too short to identify the subject of the article.
If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.
You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Joel.Miles925 ( talk) 16:11, 18 December 2015 (UTC)

Long time, no post on your talk page — hope you're doing well. Just wanted to drop in quickly to ask a question about an edit you made recently, to {{ Complete list}}. The edit was the inclusion of the Articles containing potentially dated statements category. This category tree is built at the year and month level, however some uses of the template went right down to the day because that level of accuracy was possible, which broke the categorization when that was included.
Wondering if you had any thoughts on how that could be resolved without losing the specificity, short of creating sub-categories for every day of every month going forward? Mlaffs ( talk) 13:31, 21 December 2015 (UTC)

Hey, I need your help with this Template:Quote_Quran_translation. Can you please edit this template and make the text begins from the left side instead of the center? Also, it would be better if you remove this site: http://www.usc.edu/org/cmje/religious-texts/quran/ and add this site: http://www.islamawakened.com/index.php/qur-an because this website has much more translations. And there's another thing – the template gives the "Translatornumber" for a specific number of translators, and when I replace the number with name of translator it shows "translated by error", for example:
The Quran, chapter 2 ( Al-Baqara), verse 164: [1]

Dear Rich, great to see you unleashed again! would it be possible to update Wikipedia:Articles with UK Geocodes but without images and ideally set some sort of regular refresh on it? The current list is extremely stale because of the Arbcom problem, and it would be much simpler for newbies if we didn't have to ask them to manually remove ones where they'd added an image. I was also wondering if it could perhaps be subdivided into two or three separate lists, the current one includes Bermuda and also British South Atlantic territories despite them not being covered by the Geograph. Ideally I would like two lists, one covering the UK and the other Eire - that would give us some good exercises for newbies with a high proportion of articles having images already on commons.

The Wikimedia Foundation is currently running a consultation on the value and planning process of Wikimania, and is open until 18 January 2016. The goals are to (1) build a shared understanding of the value of Wikimania to help guide conference planning and evaluation, and (2) gather broad community input on what new form(s) Wikimania could take (starting in 2018).
After reviewing the consultation, we'd like to hear your feedback on on this survey.
In addition, feel free to share any personal experiences you have had at at a Wikimedia movement conference, including Wikimania. We plan to compile and share back outcomes from this consultation in February.

Hi, I'm a user from Wikipedia in Italian language. I casually discovered some minutes ago that all the links in Wikipedia:London Gazette Index (created by you 5 years ago) needs to be updated. For example, the current link to the 5 November 1688 issue (http://www.london-gazette.co.uk/issues/2396/pages/1) now redirects to the home page of The Gazette website (https://www.thegazette.co.uk/), but fixing like this (http://www.thegazette.co.uk/London/issue/2396/page/1) it can be easily restored. In brief: http://www.london-gazette.co.uk/ must be replaced with http://www.gazette.co.uk/London/ and the final 's' of words like "issues", "pages", "supplements" (and so on) must be removed from the old URL addresses. Good luck! -- Mess ( talk) 23:00, 27 January 2016 (UTC)
Hi,
I know you are again permitted to run bots (with limitations), so no complaint about that. It looks though as if the current setup for Femtobot doesn't produce the wanted result, if I see it correctly. Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/Femto Bot 7 is about UK places needing pictures, but taking at random 6 pages from the list you produced gives five with images ( 2LO, Jubilee Walkway, Holborn, Blackfriars Rotunda and Surrey Institution) and only one without an image ( Lyon's Inn, which was demolished in 1863). The remainder of the list seems to have a similar rate of articles with images already, and also contains things like Asant\u00e9 Academy of Chinese Medicine or Bromley & Sheppard\u2019s Colleges which is probably an accent gone wrong, or Luxury real estate which isn't really a place in England, and Swimming at the 2012 Summer Olympics and so on. As it stands, it doesn't look to be a very useful list yet. Fram ( talk) 18:50, 1 February 2016 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Mary Imogene Bassett Hospital requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion".

Hey Rich, thank you for helping with the Global Names Index and changing the first few letters with the newer more appropriate search. I was thinking of adding the rest of the letters from the source Raul created for me: [35], however they are set using the old search feature. Has it been easy for you to change the list with the letters A? I was thinking of adding the rest of the letters from the list but I was wondering if you have scripts or an easier method to change them to the newer method? Otherwise I would be happy to add them myself and then maybe you can change them the way you did with the first 10 A pages? Maybe you can make a suggestion? Kind regards.

Rich F,
I notice that you edit at the page Wikipedia:Edit_filter/False_positives/Reports page. I've never been on that page before, but my interest is in Wikipedia:Edit_filter/False_positives/Reports#MaxBioHazard. I do a bit of statistical work see, e.g. User:Smallbones/1000_random and User:Smallbones/1000_random results (check out the graph!)
Max is trying to help me do something similar on ruwikipedia and apparently needs to access my page with his Russian(?) bot to deposit the data. Anything you can do to help would be appreciated.
All the best,

Dear Mr Farmbrough,
Apologies for contacting you out of the blue. I am currently writing a book review for the Times Literary Supplement on the history of encyclopaedias, and was hoping to use the example of the Wikipedia page on best-selling books of all time as an extended example of the benefits and perils of Wikipedia. I was wondering whether you might be willing to have a brief email correspondence about the history of the page-edits (esp. the sales figures for Tale of Two Cities)? I'd be very grateful, if so. My email address is peter.thonemannwadh.ox.ac.uk.
With all good wishes,

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on BoostedBoards requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person, a group of people, an individual animal, an organization (band, club, company, etc.), web content, or an organized event, but it does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. Ciridae ( talk) 05:31, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
The article Pan Am Flight 841 has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
While all constructive 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.

Hi RF,
I trust you're fine. I need clarification on a particular source. User:Plx1 once stated on the evidence page that every single sources in the Igogo festival are fake and forgery. This is very untrue. The major mistakes I made was that I never knew that the exact page is what should be cited when citing google books. I fixed the problems with sources in that article, I also add new sources. I explained these mistakes of not citing the exact page on the evidence page under my section. One of the sources User:Plx1 described as forgery " Poynor, Robin (November 1987). "Ako Figures of Owo and Second Burials in Southern Nigeria". African Arts (UCLA James S. Coleman African Studies Center) 21 (1): 62–63+81–83+86–87. doi:10.2307/3336502." did supported the claim that Igogo festival is combined with new yam celebration and I used the source to support that single line. User:PIx1 returned to the evidence page to write ""a new reference has appeared, supposed to be about the celebration of new yams. This Poynor's paper is easy to find [1]. Page 86 is made of end notes. None of them is about yams or the Igogo festival. Nor any other part of this reference paper. Dear mentors, any comments ?"
I was surprised to see this comment because that source on page 86 reads:
"The number seventeen seems to be of ritual significance in Owo. Igogo, the most important annual festival in the kingdom, a combination of New Yam festival and purification ceremony merged with a memorial to the goddess Oronshen, also takes place over a seventeen-day period. The burial of the Olowo takes seventeen ritual days. These and other significant ceremonies all begin on the day of the five-day market."
I was confused and I left a message on their talk page here pointing them to what the source actually says. I asked if there is something I am missing so that they can point me to it because I don't understand why they felt the sources didn't supported the claim. User:Plx1 ignored me and returned to the evidence page to write
"these fake references have been trashed out by their author (and the article reduced from 11,250 bytes to 6,928 bytes). At [11], a new reference has appeared, supposed to be about the celebration of new yams. This Poynor's paper is easy to find [1]. Page 86 is made of end notes. None of them is about yams or the Igogo festival. One of them, note 3, is about the signification of a 17 days period. One line refers to yams. Nor any other part of this reference paper. Dear mentors, any comments ?
I was perplexed to see this again. I am learning but I'm not sure why they feel the source didn't supported the claim and the source is a forgery. I contacted User:Smartse for clarification perhaps I'm missing anything but Smartse said "the reference is saying (in very brief passing) that the festival is similar to the New yam festival but doesn't explicitly state that yams are celebrated during Igogo. Although English is not my primary language but I don't think the source is saying "Igogo festival is similar to the New yam festival". Is that what the source is saying?

Thank you for the gift of eight sheets of "Kelly's Post Office Directory Map of London". Redrose64 gave them to me at the Oxford meetup yesterday.

Dear Sir
I decided to contact you having noticed your contribution to this article.
We wish to update this page with more details and information, specifically: project related activities. Our new 'membership' details (the current is inaccurate).
My concern is that whatever I write might appear as advertising rather than qualified information.
Would it be possible for me to draft a version and then ask the community to review in order to ensure suitability?

Hello Rich Farmbrough,
I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Septem for deletion, because it's not written in English. To request a translation, please visit the translation page. If you'd like to contribute to another Wikipedia, take a look at our full list of language projects.
If you feel that I made a mistake, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.
You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. ~~ ∫uℂρЭℝ0υĜe ( ㅜαλ2𐤊) 22:50, 21 May 2016 (UTC)
Hi there,
You recently started a thread or two about Wikipedia's referrer policy/dark traffic. I lost the thread somewhere and then cleared my watchlist. Wondering if you could point me to where things wound up? Thanks. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 15:30, 23 May 2016 (UTC)

I added a tracking category to {{ Top icon}} to track use of two deprecated parameters. I used both parameters on my userpage. However, the tracking category doesn't show up. Why? How to fix this? Debresser ( talk) 09:41, 24 May 2016 (UTC)

Farmbrough, 10:36, 24 May 2016 (UTC).Hi Rich
Thanks for your willingness to help. Really appreciated.
Before I embark on the details, I wanted to pass what I consider to be basic (and non-formatted, sorry) framework.
There are questions directed specifically towards contributors, some notes on minor improvements.
/info/en/?search=User_talk:Cardiff11#Draft_framework_27.05.2016
Would you advise that we use this framework and the basic rationale underpinning it, to begin re-writing?

As a past contributor, you are invited to participate in the third annual Wiki Loves Pride campaign, which runs through the month of June. The purpose of the campaign is to create and improve content related to LGBT culture and history. How can you help?
Looking for topics? The Tasks page, which you are welcome to update, offers some ideas and wanted articles.
This campaign is supported by the Wikimedia LGBT+ User Group, an officially recognized affiliate of the Wikimedia Foundation. The group's mission is to develop LGBT-related content across all Wikimedia projects, in all languages. Visit the affiliate's page at Meta-Wiki for more information, or follow Wikimedia LGBT+ on Facebook. Remember, Wiki Loves Pride is about creating and improving LGBT-related content at Wikimedia projects, and content should have a neutral point of view. One does not need to identify as LGBT or any other gender or sexual minority to participate. This campaign is about adding accurate, reliable information to Wikipedia, plain and simple, and all are welcome! If you have any questions, please leave a message on the campaign's talk page.
Thanks, and happy editing! --- Another Believer ( Talk) 21:53, 30 May 2016 (UTC)
-- Rich_Farmbrough On the backlog page and elsewhere, there is "Accuracy disputes" and "Neutrality disputed". Why isn't it "Accuracy disputed"? Is this an error that needs to be changed?

But even the last may not be neutral: if there are Well Known Critics that consider Eva a caterwauling banshee, that should be included too.

Hi. Just a reminder that in just over a week at Wikimania there's going to be a cross-Wiki discussion about the systems of control of new pages. This is a round-table rather than a presentation or a lecture. On the agenda are reforms to the new article reviewing systems and ways to help new users better understand our content policies. If you are going to Italy and would like to take part, please check out the conference schedule, and I look forward to seeing you there. -- Kudpung กุดผึ้ง ( talk) 18:51, 14 June 2016 (UTC)

Hi! Maybe I could ask a favor to you? As you had that script for counting word frequency this probably shouldn't take too much time. The basic idea: I want to order templates by number of parser functions, that they use. So basically the script should loop trough all templates (in dump file) and for each template count number of these (have to make text lowercased, because of "#IF:" etc.): "#expr:", "#if:", "#ifeq:", "#iferror:", "#ifexpr:", "#ifexist:", "#rel2abs:", "#switch:", "#time:", "#timel:", "#titleparts:", and then group by parser function name. If script could skip {{#invoke:, then it would be great. The result would be something like
Template {{#if 123 Template {{#ifeq 12 Template2 {{#switch 3 ...
Clarification: for Latvian Wikipedia, not English Wikipedia. And one additional task (probably can be done in one run). Could you count number of "<ref" for each article? Want to know, which articles have the most refs. I know, that this won't be accurate, but still - it would be interesting to see results. -- Edgars2007 ( talk/ contribs) 08:36, 18 June 2016 (UTC)

Hi Rich,
Great working you on the SVG Media Viewer!
If I could bother you a second... I submitted my "Tiny Planet" of the Last Supper sculpture in Esino Lario for Featured Picture on the English Wikipedia. If you think it qualifies, could you please support my nomination?
Thanks in advance,

It was great meeting you, more so as a last minute coincidence just before we returned home after I wrote you here in the past. Also thank you for showing me the pictures and hope to come across them on articles in the future. I will also try to find time to upload mine, from both UK and the conference.
