User:Jim Carter Wrong Figures on PAF 1971 War Violation of Wikipedia policies @ WP:FAKE As per as the Indo-Pak War of 1971 Air War Section Neutral Claims is mentioned with Neutral Source. 54 IAF aircraft were lost (perhaps as many as 27 of them in air combat). Pakistan lost 72 aircraft (51 of them combat types, but admitting only 25 to enemy action). Of the Pakistani losses, at least 24 fell in air combat (although only 10 air combat losses were admitted, not including any F-6s, Mirage IIIs, or the six Jordanian F-104s which failed to return to their donors). But the imbalance in air losses was explained by the IAF's considerably higher sortie rate, and its emphasis on ground-attack missions. On the ground Pakistan suffered most, with 8,000 killed and 25,000 wounded while India lost 3,000 dead and 12,000 wounded. The loss of armoured vehicles was similarly imbalanced. This represented a major defeat for Pakistan. [1] as per as Indo-Pak War of 1971 this same would be written in the Pakistan Air Force
I have even writed the same in the
Talk:Pakistan Air Force but no one has replied even after 2 days. Sir I will request you to correct the figures of 1971 Air War on
Pakistan Air Force as per as
Indo-Pak War of 1971 ,
here in Pakistan Air Force, @1971 it is only written about the PAF loses on Eastern front, while IAF loses were of the total Aircraft lost in both eastern&western fronts is mentioned. Hence i will request you to correct the figures of 1971 Air War on Pakistan Air Force as per as Indo-Pak War of 1971 MCIWS ( talk) 14:28, 6 July 2015 (UTC)

My opinion is that this section [22] should be hatted because it was creating knowing the proposals could not be implemented, is just soapboxing about amnesty, and violates WP:POINT. Obviously, you should consult with others or simply make up your own mind, but I wanted to bring it to your attention as that case is already long enough. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 11:05, 15 July 2015 (UTC)

The finals for the 2015 Wikicup has now begun! Congrats to the 8 contestants who have survived to the finals, and well done and thanks to everyone who took part in rounds 3 and 4.
In round 3, we had a three-way tie for qualification among the wildcard contestants, so we had 34 competitors. The leader was by far Casliber ( submissions) in Group B, who earned 1496 points. Although 913 of these points were bonus points, he submitted 15 articles in the DYK category. Second place overall was Coemgenus ( submissions) at 864 points, who although submitted just 2 FAs for 400 points, earned double that amount for those articles in bonus points. Everyone who moved forward to Round 4 earned at least 100 points.
The scores required to move onto the semifinals were impressive; the lowest scorer to move onto the finals was 407, making this year's Wikicup as competitive as it's always been. Our finalists, ordered by round 4 score, are:
The intense competition between RO and Calvin999 will continue into the finals. They're both eligible for the Newcomers Trophy, given for the first time in the Wikicup; whoever makes the most points will win it.
Good luck to the finalists; the judges are sure that the competition will be fierce!

Sleeping Jim Carter Patrolled my page and that somehow interfered with my edit of that page! Thanks for patrolling. How are you Jim? -- AmritasyaPutra T 16:15, 7 September 2015 (UTC)
Dear talk page watchers and friends, I'm inclined to apply for a scholarship from Wikimedia Foundations' chapter, Wikimedia India, to get a grant for a Laptop. My talk page watcher might have noticed that lately my activity on Wikipedia has declined to almost 4-5 edits a month. I've gone through major hardships and financial struggles for the last 4ish months, which is one of the significant reason for my decreased activity on Wikipedia. Few intimate friends on Wikipedia might be aware of some of the problems I faced in the last few months. My mother was suffering from cancer until she passed away on 11 July this year. I had used most of the funds I saved, for her treatment, even selled off few most desired things of mine to gather funds, including the device (Laptop) which I used to access Wikipedia. After her death, I found myself in heavy financial debt when on 20 August, I lost another member (future family member perhaps) of my family. Both the blows were enough to give me a brain fever. Now, I'm left with enough time and energy for Wikipedia, but no money to buy another device, as one can understand that I'm under the grasp of heavy finiancial crisis. After considering all the ways, I'm thinking of requesting a scholarship to buy a Laptop, so that I can get back to my normal editing pattern and help Wikipedia in umpteen ways, from ArbCom related works to normal content writing; Another benefit is: I'm involved in offwiki Wikipedia related workshops as well, recently I've attended meta:MWTTT, so a Laptop will be of great help in future workshops. Anyhow, I'm writing all this here because before applying for scholarship, here, I need endorsement from my local community members to see if the local community thinks that I deserve the grant. Therefore, friends and talk page watchers, if you feel that I deserve the grant then please sign up below just to assure Wikimedia Indias' member that the grant (if they provide) will be helpful for the project. I'll not make the thread any larger by adding more details, its already large. But I wish to point out that this statement took me an hour to type, this edit is made from a mobile device and one could understand how much it troubles to edit Wikipedia from phone, Small screen vs fatty fingers. :-p Thanks!

You are probably right that {{ db-corp}} should be used at Truetraffik.in but I removed your duplicate notification at User talk:Chakkalokesh before I saw the details. I guess that's ok—two speedies for the same article seemed excessive. I suppose I should find an article that Traffic generation tools (same author, and same promotional purpose) could redirect to, unless you think a speedy is warranted there. No need to reply or spend any more time on this. Johnuniq ( talk) 10:54, 29 September 2015 (UTC)

Wikipedia editor Animalparty just reviewed your page, and wrote this note for you:
Keep in mind WP:MTAU and WP:NOTJOURNAL- Wiki articles should not contain needless jargon, and should be written for the general reader, not specialists. Also be wary of leaving {{ in use}} on for too long- it may hinder improvement.
To reply, leave a comment on Animalparty's talk page.

Hi Jim Carter, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the "autopatrolled" permission to your account, as you have created numerous, valid articles. This feature will have no effect on your editing, and is simply intended to reduce the workload on new page patrollers. For more information on the patroller right, see Wikipedia:Autopatrolled. Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing! ☺ · Salvidrim! · ✉ 18:50, 21 October 2015 (UTC)
Hello there Jim Carter, I am
TheCaliforniaKansan. I created this account over three years ago, and completely forgot the utility of Wikipedia. I became pretty active recently, and I soon discovered the inconvenient truth that lots of people like to vandalize Wikipedia... I work in the public sector, and it just makes me cringe when users attempt to defame living persons, post inaccurate information, or remove beneficial content.
I would like to be trained by you, if you still have an opening. I recently checked out the
CVU Academy page, and saw that there is training available to handle vandalism. Recently, I've only been doing so manually. I've also noticed that those who use
STiki and
Twinkle seem to combat vandalism in a more swift fashion.
I have examined the other trainers, and frankly you seem to be the most qualified. The others who are accepting students are not as active as I would hope, and/or do not use both Twinkle and STiki. It would be an honor to be trained by you, please let me know if you are available. Truthfully, I would like to be able to improve Wikipedia in some other manner other than manually removing vandalism... Thank you for your consideration.
Best,
TheCaliforniaKansan (

Dear tech ambassadors, instead of spamming the Village Pump of each Wikipedia about my tiny project proposal for researching team editing (see here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IdeaLab/Research_team_editing), I have decided to leave to your own discretion if the matter is relevant enough to inform a wider audience already. I would appreciate if you could appraise if the Wikipedia community you are more familiar with could have interest in testing group editing "on their own grounds" and with their own guidance. In a nutshell: it consists in editing pages as a group instead of as an individual. This social experiment might involve redefining some aspects of the workflow we are all used to, with the hope of creating a more friendly and collaborative environment since editing under a group umbrella creates less social exposure than traditional "individual editing". I send you this message also as a proof that the Inspire Campaign is already gearing up. As said I would appreciate of *you* just a comment on the talk page/endorsement of my project noting your general perception about the idea. Nothing else. Your contribution helps to shape the future! (which I hope it will be very bright, with colors, and Wikipedia everywhere) Regards from User:Micru on meta.
I feel that this is inappropriate. He puts himself out there. You respond with hints. Please take it seriously and be straightforward. The poll is a new thing. Please do not be disruptive. I have a long, long history of issues with you. This includes the horrible experience you gave me with the proposal in the first place when you mass messaged 1500 admins. Then you challenged the poll at its talk page when it started. You also have a history of inappropriate joking and remarks at actual RfAs. I strongly suggest considering the consequences of your posts and how they can affect things and make people feel. Anna Frodesiak ( talk) 13:51, 31 October 2015 (UTC)

Hey, Jim. Hope all is well. Can you do me and WER a great favor and keep your eyes peeled for potential "Editors of the Week". Some of your previous candidates have achieved great things here at WP. I just want to be sure we don't run out of accepted candidates in a few weeks...which could happen. I invite any of your friendly stalkers to do the same. Thanks. Buster Seven Talk 16:16, 4 November 2015 (UTC)
With what we have we should make it to the end of the year. That's Good. I was thinking of doing some kind of mass mailing or Holiday Greeting barnstar-like thing, around Christmas Time or New Years, to all the WER editors that have signed up (150 or so) over the past 3 years...wishing them and their families well etc...and mentioning EotW's constant need of nominations, of course. Is that something you can help me with, in about one month or so??? Buster Seven Talk 21:24, 4 November 2015 (UTC)
I noticed with interest your speedy on the Draft:CHI St. Luke's Health. I have been keeping an eye on this for severral days having been involved in the deletion process of the previous (near identical) version. I was wondering about starting an SPI but was worried about the ethics of calling out an editor who has only (apparently) edited a draft article. The previous article was deleted, if I recall correctly, on Copy-vio grounds but claims to notability looked paper thin and unsustainable. I will continue to watch with interest.

WikiCup 2015 is now in the books! Congrats to our finalists and winners, and to everyone who took part in this year's competition.
This year's results were an exact replica of last year's competition. For the second year in a row, the 2015 WikiCup champion is Godot13 ( submissions) ( FP bonus points). All of his points were earned for an impressive 253 featured pictures and their associated bonus points (5060 and 1695, respectively). His entries constituted scans of currency from all over the world and scans of medallions awarded to participants of the U.S. Space program. Cwmhiraeth ( submissions) came in second place; she earned by far the most bonus points (4082), for 4 featured articles, 15 good articles, and 147 DYKs, mostly about in her field of expertise, natural science. Cas Liber ( submissions), a finalist every year since 2010, came in third, with 2379 points.
Our newcomer award, presented to the best-performing new competitor in the WikiCup, goes to Rationalobserver ( submissions). Everyone should be very proud of the work they accomplished. We will announce our other award winners soon.
A full list of our award winners are:
We warmly invite all of you to sign up for next year's competition. Discussions and polls concerning potential rules changes are also open, and all are welcome to participate. The WikiCup judges will be back in touch over the coming months, and we hope to see you all in the 2016 competition. Until then, it only remains to once again congratulate our worthy winners, and thank all participants for their involvement! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

You didn't do anything wrong. I just wanted to explain the "unexplained edits." After I added an external link to an interview by the BBC Radio 4 Desert Island Discs, I realized that it was already there. I went back and removed my own unnecessary addition. No other Wikiperson I've added it to has had already had a link to their own interviews. Ziva11 ( talk) 05:44, 17 November 2015 (UTC)
Hi, Jim. Ragityman, here.
Thank you for recognizing that they are good faith edits. I re-edited some of the material, thinking I had goofed. I didn't notice that you had reverted me until I looked at the history. They ARE good faith edits. I'm just trying to help. Please read what I wrote on the talk page of each article to understand my objectives. If, after you read what I wrote, you STILL feel that it needs to be reverted, have at it. I won't interfere.
Look through the history as well, though. The information about his first wife, her singing career, and her parents, were there THREE TIMES. I only deleted two of them. I WILL go back and add the ref link, if you haven't already fixed it.
If you intend to create articles for all the red links, that is MUCH preferred to just unlinking. I'm all for that. I checked, though, and those links were created in July 2014. That's pretty old. I'd suggest you leave them unlinked until you at least have a stub. Otherwise, some other gnome will come through, and unlink them.
I can see that you have put a lot of time and energy into this article. I don't do edit-wars. There's plenty of work to go around, without us undoing each other's work, and I won't waste my time. Just read what I wrote, and if you don't agree, revert any or all of what I have done. But I have to tell you. I know, NOBODY likes unsolicited advice. But, if you are really going to get any satisfaction out of your work here on this project, you have to let it go. The terms of use, and the fine print on every single edit page will tell you that you cannot own your work on Wikipedia — not in the way you can on a blog or a magazine. When you create an article HERE, you are agreeing to let everyone who wants to help, help. It will ALWAYS be your creation, and the history shows that you created it. It also shows up in your stats. But in many ways Wikipedia is unique: this is a crowd-sourced project. Once it goes live, it's fair game. If you can't live with that, there are lots of other venues. But if you give it a chance, and put a little time into understanding WP conventions and customs, you can one day see some of YOUR creations become featured articles, DYK, or any number of other nice things.
By the way, I'm sorry that you're having health problems. Ain't none of us gonna get out of this world alive, but I don't like it for people to suffer, especially if they are helping to build Wikipedia. Hang in there. Rags ( talk) 06:39, 17 November 2015 (UTC)

It was not until few moments back that I realized you are the cleanstart of RJC! You have come so far and improved so much - this is amazing! It is so great to see editors learn and improve from their mistakes. If my memory serves me right, you had a really rocky start and to become what you have - it must not have been an easy task. I highly appreciate you getting on the right track and all the good work you have been doing ever since. I am really happy for you and I hope you'll continue the awesome work that you have been doing... Thanks for all your efforts in improving the pedia' - you are a valuable editor and an asset to the project. Your edits are greatly valued :) Keep up the good work!

Your offer is very generous, but the FLC process is already being taken care of by another editor. There was a conversation here, which led to a commitment to create a new bot for FLC. It will be great for all of us, and I'm excited that it will take less time to do closures. While I'm here, I hope you feel better and am leaving a comment at WP:TFLS about a possible date for the list you submitted. Giants2008 ( Talk) 16:10, 21 November 2015 (UTC)

Hello everyone, and we would like to wish you all a happy holiday season. As you will probably already know, the 2016 WikiCup begins in the new year; there is still time to sign up. There are some changes we'd like to announce before the competition begins.
After two years of serving as WikiCup judge, User:Miyagawa has stepped down as judge. He deserves great thanks and recognition for his dedication and hard work, and for providing necessary transition for a new group of judges in last year's Cup. Joining Christine ( User:Figureskatingfan) and Jason ( User:Sturmvogel 66) is Andrew ( User:Godot13), a very successful WikiCup competitor and expert in Featured Pictures; he won the two previous competitions. This is a strong judging team, and we anticipate lots of enjoyment and good work coming from our 2016 competitors.
We would also like to announce one change in how this year's WikiCup will be run. In the spirit of sportsmanship, Godot13 and Cwmhiraeth have chosen to limit their participation. See here for the announcement and a complete explanation of why. They and the judges feel that it will make for a more exciting, enjoyable, and productive competition.
The discussions/polls concerning the next competition's rules will be closed soon, and rules changes will be made clear on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring and talk pages. The judges are committed to not repeating the confusion that occurred last year and to ensuring that the new rules are both fair and in the best interests of the competition, which is, first and foremost, about improving Wikipedia.
If you have any questions or concerns, the judges can be reached on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, on their talk pages, or by email. We hope you will all join us in trying to make the 2015 WikiCup the most productive and enjoyable yet. You are receiving this message because you are listed on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

Jim,
I was contacted at OTRS by editor Calvin Kelso, who recently tried to improve Horace Pippin. I see that you sent a welcome message to the editor, but the edits were reverted with the brief comment "problematic edits".
While I have some guesses as to the issues, I hope you will agree that the edit summary doesn't provide a lot of guidance. The editor has actually done a fair amount of research about the subject of the article, and I think can make some great additions to the article, with some guidance.
Could I persuade you to be more expansive regarding your concerns about the edits, so that you and I can help the editor?
(I'll leave it up to you whether this discussion should continue here, or on the talk page of the article.)-- S Philbrick (Talk) 14:12, 24 December 2015 (UTC)

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged मंदाकिनी की आवाज़ for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

Hello, thanks a lot for participating in Geographical Indications in India Edit-a-thon. We understand that perhaps 7 days (i.e. 25 January to 31 January) were not sufficient to write on a topic like this, and/or you may need some more time to create/improve articles, so let's extend this event for a few more days. The edit-a-thon will continue till 10 February 2016 and that means you have got 7 more days to create or expand articles (or imprpove the articles you have already created or expanded).
The rules remain unchanged. Please report your created or expanded articles.
Editors, who have not joined this edit-a-thon, may also join now.
Reviewing of all articles should be done before the end of this month (i.e. February 2016). We'll keep you informed. You may also check the event page for more details.
A special barnstar will be given to all the participants who will create or expand articles during this edit-a-thon. The editors, who will perform exceptionally well, may be given an Indic Geographical Indication product or object. However, please note, nothing other than the barnstar has been finalized or guaranteed. We'll keep you informed.
Feel free to ask question(s) here. -- User:Titodutta ( talk) sent using MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 11:08, 2 February 2016 (UTC)

On 19 February 2016, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Staten Island boat graveyard, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the Staten Island boat graveyard contains so many abandoned boats and ships that it has been called an "accidental marine museum"? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Staten Island boat graveyard. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page. |

User:Jim Carter Wrong Figures on PAF 1971 War Violation of Wikipedia policies @ WP:FAKE As per as the Indo-Pak War of 1971 Air War Section Neutral Claims is mentioned with Neutral Source. 54 IAF aircraft were lost (perhaps as many as 27 of them in air combat). Pakistan lost 72 aircraft (51 of them combat types, but admitting only 25 to enemy action). Of the Pakistani losses, at least 24 fell in air combat (although only 10 air combat losses were admitted, not including any F-6s, Mirage IIIs, or the six Jordanian F-104s which failed to return to their donors). But the imbalance in air losses was explained by the IAF's considerably higher sortie rate, and its emphasis on ground-attack missions. On the ground Pakistan suffered most, with 8,000 killed and 25,000 wounded while India lost 3,000 dead and 12,000 wounded. The loss of armoured vehicles was similarly imbalanced. This represented a major defeat for Pakistan. [1] as per as Indo-Pak War of 1971 this same would be written in the Pakistan Air Force
I have even writed the same in the
Talk:Pakistan Air Force but no one has replied even after 2 days. Sir I will request you to correct the figures of 1971 Air War on
Pakistan Air Force as per as
Indo-Pak War of 1971 ,
here in Pakistan Air Force, @1971 it is only written about the PAF loses on Eastern front, while IAF loses were of the total Aircraft lost in both eastern&western fronts is mentioned. Hence i will request you to correct the figures of 1971 Air War on Pakistan Air Force as per as Indo-Pak War of 1971 MCIWS ( talk) 14:28, 6 July 2015 (UTC)

My opinion is that this section [22] should be hatted because it was creating knowing the proposals could not be implemented, is just soapboxing about amnesty, and violates WP:POINT.

The finals for the 2015 Wikicup has now begun! Congrats to the 8 contestants who have survived to the finals, and well done and thanks to everyone who took part in rounds 3 and 4.
In round 3, we had a three-way tie for qualification among the wildcard contestants, so we had 34 competitors. The leader was by far Casliber ( submissions) in Group B, who earned 1496 points. Although 913 of these points were bonus points, he submitted 15 articles in the DYK category. Second place overall was Coemgenus ( submissions) at 864 points, who although submitted just 2 FAs for 400 points, earned double that amount for those articles in bonus points. Everyone who moved forward to Round 4 earned at least 100 points.
The scores required to move onto the semifinals were impressive; the lowest scorer to move onto the finals was 407, making this year's Wikicup as competitive as it's always been. Our finalists, ordered by round 4 score, are:
The intense competition between RO and Calvin999 will continue into the finals. They're both eligible for the Newcomers Trophy, given for the first time in the Wikicup; whoever makes the most points will win it.
Good luck to the finalists; the judges are sure that the competition will be fierce!

Sleeping Jim Carter Patrolled my page and that somehow interfered with my edit of that page! Thanks for patrolling. How are you Jim? -- AmritasyaPutra T 16:15, 7 September 2015 (UTC)
Dear talk page watchers and friends, I'm inclined to apply for a scholarship from Wikimedia Foundations' chapter, Wikimedia India, to get a grant for a Laptop. My talk page watcher might have noticed that lately my activity on Wikipedia has declined to almost 4-5 edits a month. I've gone through major hardships and financial struggles for the last 4ish months, which is one of the significant reason for my decreased activity on Wikipedia. Few intimate friends on Wikipedia might be aware of some of the problems I faced in the last few months. My mother was suffering from cancer until she passed away on 11 July this year. I had used most of the funds I saved, for her treatment, even selled off few most desired things of mine to gather funds, including the device (Laptop) which I used to access Wikipedia. After her death, I found myself in heavy financial debt when on 20 August, I lost another member (future family member perhaps) of my family. Both the blows were enough to give me a brain fever. Now, I'm left with enough time and energy for Wikipedia, but no money to buy another device, as one can understand that I'm under the grasp of heavy finiancial crisis. After considering all the ways, I'm thinking of requesting a scholarship to buy a Laptop, so that I can get back to my normal editing pattern and help Wikipedia in umpteen ways, from ArbCom related works to normal content writing; Another benefit is: I'm involved in offwiki Wikipedia related workshops as well, recently I've attended meta:MWTTT, so a Laptop will be of great help in future workshops. Anyhow, I'm writing all this here because before applying for scholarship, here, I need endorsement from my local community members to see if the local community thinks that I deserve the grant. Therefore, friends and talk page watchers, if you feel that I deserve the grant then please sign up below just to assure Wikimedia Indias' member that the grant (if they provide) will be helpful for the project. I'll not make the thread any larger by adding more details, its already large. But I wish to point out that this statement took me an hour to type, this edit is made from a mobile device and one could understand how much it troubles to edit Wikipedia from phone, Small screen vs fatty fingers. :-p Thanks!

You are probably right that {{ db-corp}} should be used at Truetraffik.in but I removed your duplicate notification at User talk:Chakkalokesh before I saw the details. I guess that's ok—two speedies for the same article seemed excessive. I suppose I should find an article that Traffic generation tools (same author, and same promotional purpose) could redirect to, unless you think a speedy is warranted there. No need to reply or spend any more time on this. Johnuniq ( talk) 10:54, 29 September 2015 (UTC)

A few more specific details might be welcome regarding the nominee, like how many years of editing, number of edits, apparently activity at DYK, and a few other things.

Thanks for creating Sinocorophium hangangense, Jim Carter!
Wikipedia editor Animalparty just reviewed your page, and wrote this note for you:
Keep in mind WP:MTAU and WP:NOTJOURNAL- Wiki articles should not contain needless jargon, and should be written for the general reader, not specialists. Also be wary of leaving {{ in use}} on for too long- it may hinder improvement.

Hi Jim Carter, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the "autopatrolled" permission to your account, as you have created numerous, valid articles. This feature will have no effect on your editing, and is simply intended to reduce the workload on new page patrollers. For more information on the patroller right, see Wikipedia:Autopatrolled. Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing! ☺ · Salvidrim! · ✉ 18:50, 21 October 2015 (UTC)
Hello there Jim Carter, I am
TheCaliforniaKansan. I created this account over three years ago, and completely forgot the utility of Wikipedia. I became pretty active recently, and I soon discovered the inconvenient truth that lots of people like to vandalize Wikipedia... I work in the public sector, and it just makes me cringe when users attempt to defame living persons, post inaccurate information, or remove beneficial content.
I would like to be trained by you, if you still have an opening. I recently checked out the
CVU Academy page, and saw that there is training available to handle vandalism. Recently, I've only been doing so manually. I've also noticed that those who use
STiki and
Twinkle seem to combat vandalism in a more swift fashion.
I have examined the other trainers, and frankly you seem to be the most qualified. The others who are accepting students are not as active as I would hope, and/or do not use both Twinkle and STiki. It would be an honor to be trained by you, please let me know if you are available. Truthfully, I would like to be able to improve Wikipedia in some other manner other than manually removing vandalism... Thank you for your consideration.
Best,
TheCaliforniaKansan (

Dear tech ambassadors, instead of spamming the Village Pump of each Wikipedia about my tiny project proposal for researching team editing (see here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IdeaLab/Research_team_editing), I have decided to leave to your own discretion if the matter is relevant enough to inform a wider audience already. I would appreciate if you could appraise if the Wikipedia community you are more familiar with could have interest in testing group editing "on their own grounds" and with their own guidance. In a nutshell: it consists in editing pages as a group instead of as an individual. This social experiment might involve redefining some aspects of the workflow we are all used to, with the hope of creating a more friendly and collaborative environment since editing under a group umbrella creates less social exposure than traditional "individual editing". I send you this message also as a proof that the Inspire Campaign is already gearing up. As said I would appreciate of *you* just a comment on the talk page/endorsement of my project noting your general perception about the idea. Nothing else. Your contribution helps to shape the future! (which I hope it will be very bright, with colors, and Wikipedia everywhere) Regards from User:Micru on meta.
I feel that this is inappropriate. He puts himself out there. You respond with hints. Please take it seriously and be straightforward. The poll is a new thing. Please do not be disruptive. I have a long, long history of issues with you. This includes the horrible experience you gave me with the proposal in the first place when you mass messaged 1500 admins. Then you challenged the poll at its talk page when it started. You also have a history of inappropriate joking and remarks at actual RfAs. I strongly suggest considering the consequences of your posts and how they can affect things and make people feel. Anna Frodesiak ( talk) 13:51, 31 October 2015 (UTC)

On 2 November 2015, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article The Mother (Gorky novel), which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that The Mother is the best-known novel by Maxim Gorky and his only novel on the Russian revolutionary movement? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/The Mother (Gorky novel). You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page. |

Hey, Jim. Hope all is well. Can you do me and WER a great favor and keep your eyes peeled for potential "Editors of the Week". Some of your previous candidates have achieved great things here at WP. I just want to be sure we don't run out of accepted candidates in a few weeks...which could happen. I invite any of your friendly stalkers to do the same. Thanks. Buster Seven Talk 16:16, 4 November 2015 (UTC)
With what we have we should make it to the end of the year. That's Good. I was thinking of doing some kind of mass mailing or Holiday Greeting barnstar-like thing, around Christmas Time or New Years, to all the WER editors that have signed up (150 or so) over the past 3 years...wishing them and their families well etc...and mentioning EotW's constant need of nominations, of course. Is that something you can help me with, in about one month or so??? Buster Seven Talk 21:24, 4 November 2015 (UTC)
I noticed with interest your speedy on the Draft:CHI St. Luke's Health. I have been keeping an eye on this for severral days having been involved in the deletion process of the previous (near identical) version. I was wondering about starting an SPI but was worried about the ethics of calling out an editor who has only (apparently) edited a draft article. The previous article was deleted, if I recall correctly, on Copy-vio grounds but claims to notability looked paper thin and unsustainable. I will continue to watch with interest.

WikiCup 2015 is now in the books! Congrats to our finalists and winners, and to everyone who took part in this year's competition.
This year's results were an exact replica of last year's competition. For the second year in a row, the 2015 WikiCup champion is Godot13 ( submissions) ( FP bonus points). All of his points were earned for an impressive 253 featured pictures and their associated bonus points (5060 and 1695, respectively). His entries constituted scans of currency from all over the world and scans of medallions awarded to participants of the U.S. Space program. Cwmhiraeth ( submissions) came in second place; she earned by far the most bonus points (4082), for 4 featured articles, 15 good articles, and 147 DYKs, mostly about in her field of expertise, natural science. Cas Liber ( submissions), a finalist every year since 2010, came in third, with 2379 points.
Our newcomer award, presented to the best-performing new competitor in the WikiCup, goes to Rationalobserver ( submissions). Everyone should be very proud of the work they accomplished. We will announce our other award winners soon.
A full list of our award winners are:
We warmly invite all of you to sign up for next year's competition. Discussions and polls concerning potential rules changes are also open, and all are welcome to participate. The WikiCup judges will be back in touch over the coming months, and we hope to see you all in the 2016 competition. Until then, it only remains to once again congratulate our worthy winners, and thank all participants for their involvement! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

You didn't do anything wrong. I just wanted to explain the "unexplained edits." After I added an external link to an interview by the BBC Radio 4 Desert Island Discs, I realized that it was already there. I went back and removed my own unnecessary addition. No other Wikiperson I've added it to has had already had a link to their own interviews. Ziva11 ( talk) 05:44, 17 November 2015 (UTC)
Hi, Jim. Ragityman, here.
Thank you for recognizing that they are good faith edits. I re-edited some of the material, thinking I had goofed. I didn't notice that you had reverted me until I looked at the history. They ARE good faith edits. I'm just trying to help. Please read what I wrote on the talk page of each article to understand my objectives. If, after you read what I wrote, you STILL feel that it needs to be reverted, have at it. I won't interfere.
Look through the history as well, though. The information about his first wife, her singing career, and her parents, were there THREE TIMES. I only deleted two of them. I WILL go back and add the ref link, if you haven't already fixed it.
If you intend to create articles for all the red links, that is MUCH preferred to just unlinking. I'm all for that. I checked, though, and those links were created in July 2014. That's pretty old. I'd suggest you leave them unlinked until you at least have a stub. Otherwise, some other gnome will come through, and unlink them.
I can see that you have put a lot of time and energy into this article. I don't do edit-wars. There's plenty of work to go around, without us undoing each other's work, and I won't waste my time. Just read what I wrote, and if you don't agree, revert any or all of what I have done. But I have to tell you. I know, NOBODY likes unsolicited advice. But, if you are really going to get any satisfaction out of your work here on this project, you have to let it go. The terms of use, and the fine print on every single edit page will tell you that you cannot own your work on Wikipedia — not in the way you can on a blog or a magazine. When you create an article HERE, you are agreeing to let everyone who wants to help, help. It will ALWAYS be your creation, and the history shows that you created it. It also shows up in your stats. But in many ways Wikipedia is unique: this is a crowd-sourced project. Once it goes live, it's fair game. If you can't live with that, there are lots of other venues. But if you give it a chance, and put a little time into understanding WP conventions and customs, you can one day see some of YOUR creations become featured articles, DYK, or any number of other nice things.
By the way, I'm sorry that you're having health problems. Ain't none of us gonna get out of this world alive, but I don't like it for people to suffer, especially if they are helping to build Wikipedia. Hang in there. Rags ( talk) 06:39, 17 November 2015 (UTC)

It was not until few moments back that I realized you are the cleanstart of RJC! You have come so far and improved so much - this is amazing! It is so great to see editors learn and improve from their mistakes. If my memory serves me right, you had a really rocky start and to become what you have - it must not have been an easy task. I highly appreciate you getting on the right track and all the good work you have been doing ever since. I am really happy for you and I hope you'll continue the awesome work that you have been doing... Thanks for all your efforts in improving the pedia' - you are a valuable editor and an asset to the project. Your edits are greatly valued :) Keep up the good work!

Your offer is very generous, but the FLC process is already being taken care of by another editor. There was a conversation here, which led to a commitment to create a new bot for FLC. It will be great for all of us, and I'm excited that it will take less time to do closures. While I'm here, I hope you feel better and am leaving a comment at WP:TFLS about a possible date for the list you submitted. Giants2008 ( Talk) 16:10, 21 November 2015 (UTC)

Hello everyone, and we would like to wish you all a happy holiday season. As you will probably already know, the 2016 WikiCup begins in the new year; there is still time to sign up. There are some changes we'd like to announce before the competition begins.
After two years of serving as WikiCup judge, User:Miyagawa has stepped down as judge. He deserves great thanks and recognition for his dedication and hard work, and for providing necessary transition for a new group of judges in last year's Cup. Joining Christine ( User:Figureskatingfan) and Jason ( User:Sturmvogel 66) is Andrew ( User:Godot13), a very successful WikiCup competitor and expert in Featured Pictures; he won the two previous competitions. This is a strong judging team, and we anticipate lots of enjoyment and good work coming from our 2016 competitors.
We would also like to announce one change in how this year's WikiCup will be run. In the spirit of sportsmanship, Godot13 and Cwmhiraeth have chosen to limit their participation. See here for the announcement and a complete explanation of why. They and the judges feel that it will make for a more exciting, enjoyable, and productive competition.
The discussions/polls concerning the next competition's rules will be closed soon, and rules changes will be made clear on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring and talk pages. The judges are committed to not repeating the confusion that occurred last year and to ensuring that the new rules are both fair and in the best interests of the competition, which is, first and foremost, about improving Wikipedia.
If you have any questions or concerns, the judges can be reached on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, on their talk pages, or by email. We hope you will all join us in trying to make the 2015 WikiCup the most productive and enjoyable yet. You are receiving this message because you are listed on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

Jim,
I was contacted at OTRS by editor Calvin Kelso, who recently tried to improve Horace Pippin. I see that you sent a welcome message to the editor, but the edits were reverted with the brief comment "problematic edits".
While I have some guesses as to the issues, I hope you will agree that the edit summary doesn't provide a lot of guidance. The editor has actually done a fair amount of research about the subject of the article, and I think can make some great additions to the article, with some guidance.
Could I persuade you to be more expansive regarding your concerns about the edits, so that you and I can help the editor?
(I'll leave it up to you whether this discussion should continue here, or on the talk page of the article.)-- S Philbrick (Talk) 14:12, 24 December 2015 (UTC)

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged मंदाकिनी की आवाज़ for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

Hello, thanks a lot for participating in Geographical Indications in India Edit-a-thon. We understand that perhaps 7 days (i.e. 25 January to 31 January) were not sufficient to write on a topic like this, and/or you may need some more time to create/improve articles, so let's extend this event for a few more days. The edit-a-thon will continue till 10 February 2016 and that means you have got 7 more days to create or expand articles (or imprpove the articles you have already created or expanded).
The rules remain unchanged. Please report your created or expanded articles.
Editors, who have not joined this edit-a-thon, may also join now.
Reviewing of all articles should be done before the end of this month (i.e. February 2016). We'll keep you informed. You may also check the event page for more details.
A special barnstar will be given to all the participants who will create or expand articles during this edit-a-thon. The editors, who will perform exceptionally well, may be given an Indic Geographical Indication product or object. However, please note, nothing other than the barnstar has been finalized or guaranteed. We'll keep you informed.
Feel free to ask question(s) here. -- User:Titodutta ( talk) sent using MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 11:08, 2 February 2016 (UTC)

Thank you for participating in the Geographical Indications in India edit-a-thon. The review of the articles have started and we hope that it'll finish in next 2-3 weeks.
Prizes/awards have not been finalized still. These are the current ideas:
We'll keep you informed.
We also want to inform you about the program Train-a-Wikipedian. It is an empowerment program where groom Wikipedians and help them to become better editors. This trainings will mostly be online, we may conduct offline workshops/sessions as well. More than 10 editors from 5 Indic-language Wikipedias have already joined the program. We request you to have a look and consider joining. -- Titodutta (CIS-A2K) using MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 20:01, 17 February 2016 (UTC)
On 19 February 2016, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Staten Island boat graveyard, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the Staten Island boat graveyard contains so many abandoned boats and ships that it has been called an "accidental marine museum"? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Staten Island boat graveyard. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page. |

That's it, the first round is done, sign-ups are closed and we're into round 2. Forty-seven competitors move into this round (a bit shy of the expected 64), and we are roughly broken into eight groups of six. The top two of each group will go through to round 3, and then the top scoring 16 "wildcards" across all groups.
Twenty-two Good Articles were submitted, including three by Cyclonebiskit ( submissions), and two each by MPJ-DK ( submissions), Hurricanehink ( submissions), 12george1 ( submissions), and Cas Liber ( submissions). Twenty-one Featured Pictures were claimed, including 17 by Adam Cuerden ( submissions) (the Round 1 high scorer). Thirty-one contestants saw their DYKs appear on the main page, with a commanding lead (28) by Cwmhiraeth ( submissions). Twenty-nine participants conducted GA reviews with J Milburn ( submissions) completing nine.

Along with getting the year wrong in the newsletter that went out earlier this week, we did not mention (as the bot did not report) that Cas Liber ( submissions) claimed the first Featured Article Persoonia terminalis of the 2016 Wikicup.
