Until late 2003, Jimmy Wales was the arbiter in all major disputes. After the Mediation Committee and the Arbitration Committee were founded, Wales delegated his roles of dispute resolution to these bodies. In addition to these committees, the community has developed a number of informal processes of dispute resolution. At its peak, over 17 dispute resolution venues existed. Disputes were submitted in each venue in a different way. Due to the complexity of Wikipedia dispute resolution, members of the community were surveyed in April 2012 about their experiences with dispute resolution. In general, the community believes that dispute resolution is too hard to use and is divided among too many venues. Many respondents also reported their experience with dispute resolution had suffered due to a shortage of volunteers and backlogging, which may be due to the disparate nature of the process. An evaluation of dispute resolution forums was made in May this year, in which data on response and resolution time, as well as success rates, was collated. This data is here.
Leading off from the survey in April and the evaluation in May, several changes to dispute resolution noticeboard (DRN) were proposed. Rather than using a wikitext template to bring disputes to DRN, editors used a new javascript form. This form was simpler to use, but also standardised the format of submissions and applied a word limit so that DRN volunteers could more easily review disputes. A template to summarise, and a robot to maintain the noticeboard, were also created. As a result of these changes, volunteers responded to disputes in a third of the time, and resolved them 60% faster when compared to May. Successful resolution of disputes increased by 17%. Submissions were 25% shorter by word count.(see Dispute Resolution Noticeboard Statistics - August compared to May) Outside of DRN other simplification has taken place. The Mediation Cabal was closed in August, and Wikiquette assistance was closed in September. Nevertheless, around fifteen different forums still exist for the resolution of Wikipedia disputes.
Given the success of the past efforts at DR reform, the current RFC proposes we implement: 1) A submission gadget for every DR venue tailored to the unique needs of that forum.
2) A universal dispute resolution wizard, accessible from Wikipedia:Dispute resolution.
3) Additionally, we're seeking any ideas on how we can attract and retain more dispute resolution volunteers. |
Please share your thoughts at the RfC.

Hello, glad to see you support lower case. I wonder, though, if you might consider moving your comment or repeating it at the bottom. I think it will soon be hidden as we were asked not to respond directly to comments there. Then I could add my support to it, by mentioning British papers of the time. Thanks!

Hello. As a participant in Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Abortion article titles, you may wish to register an opinion on its followup RFC, Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Abortion advocacy movement coverage, which is now in its community feedback phase. Please note that WP:RFC/AAMC is not simply a repeat of WP:RFC/AAT, and is attempting to achieve better results by asking a more narrowly-focused, policy-based question of the community. Assumptions based on the previous RFC should be discarded before participation, particularly the assumption that Wikipedia has or inherently needs to have articles covering generalized perspective on each side of abortion advocacy, and that what we are trying to do is come up with labels for that. Thanks! —chaos5023 20:29, 24 October 2012 (UTC)

I saw you kindly helping (former) newbie Grammarxxx Hansye42 ( talk) 04:33, 2 November 2012 (UTC) |
Anyway. You're getting this note because you've participated in discussion and/or asked for updates to either the Article Feedback Tool or Page Curation. This isn't about either of those things, I'm afraid ;p. We've recently started working on yet another project: Echo, a notifications system to augment the watchlist. There's not much information at the moment, because we're still working out the scope and the concepts, but if you're interested in further updates you can sign up here.
In addition, we'll be holding an office hours session at 21:00 UTC on Wednesday, 14 November in #wikimedia-office - hope to see you all there :). I appreciate it's an annoying time for non-Europeans: if you're interested in chatting about the project but can't make it, give me a shout and I can set up another session if there's enough interest in one particular timezone or a skype call if there isn't. Thanks! Okeyes (WMF) ( talk) 11:06, 10 November 2012 (UTC)
Hey all :). A couple of quick updates (one small, one large)
First, we're continuing to work on some ways to increase the quality of feedback and make it easier to eliminate and deal with non-useful feedback: hopefully I'll have more news for you on this soon :).
Second, we're looking at ways to increase the actual number of users patrolling and take off some of the workload from you lot. Part of this is increasing the prominence of the feedback page, which we're going to try to do with a link at the top of each article to the relevant page. This should be deployed on Tuesday (touch wood!) and we'll be closely monitoring what happens. Let me know if you have any questions or issues :). Thanks, Okeyes (WMF) ( talk) 14:31, 16 November 2012 (UTC)

For reverting vandalism to my talk page! YOU ROCK!! -- Sue Rangell ✍ ✉ 20:21, 20 November 2012 (UTC) |
I don't know if I can do this myself or if I need administrative assistance. I would like to move the following articles around and do not know how this will interfere with continuity in edit histories, and other back of the house issues. Since you're one of the few admins I know to ask, I look to you for advice on the matter. These are the moves I propose, in order
The rationale for this is that without the initial Philomela/Philomel reference (now at Philomela (princess of Athens)), none of the others mean anything. It is, without a doubt, the chief use of the word and all other uses devolve or derive from it--and as such it should be the easiest to find. Currently, it is not sufficiently cut-and-dry IMHO. I don't see any reason why anyone would object (it's a quiet corner of wikipedia), and I would take the time afterwards to do the dirty work of placing disclaimers at the top of the articles regarding the disambiguation. What would you advise? Thanks in advance. -- ColonelHenry ( talk) 02:22, 26 November 2012 (UTC)
Hey all :). Just a quick note to say we'll be holding office hours in #wikimedia-office at 21:30 UTC this Thursday (the 29th) to show everyone the additional tools we're thinking of working on. All attendence and feedback is appreciated :). Thanks! Okeyes (WMF) ( talk) 14:03, 27 November 2012 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Frederick Stephani, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Fast Company ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

I was planning to get involved in both articles related to Little Gidding which presently is a disambiguation page for only two articles. This could be solved more effectively by a hatnote on Little Gidding directing the reader to Little Gidding (poem) and should be uncontroversial. Proposal: (1) delete the disambiguation page at Little Gidding to make way for (2) Move Little Gidding, Cambridgeshire --> Little Gidding. I appreciate your help once again. -- ColonelHenry ( talk) 06:25, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
Done - Seems pretty uncontroversial to me. Quite a few pages are now linking to that article through the redirect left behind at Little Gidding, Cambridgeshire; if you want to fix them, that's great. Otherwise a bot or a gnome will get to it eventually. Kafziel Complaint Department: Please take a number 06:41, 10 December 2012 (UTC)

Hey Kafziel, I came across this user's talk page and it concerned me a bit. It reads like a manifesto, and contains hateful language such as: "Along with this because the Muslims are not disclosed as terrorist so without the fear of insult other Indian Muslims are also helping them and increasing Terrorism" and "It is not suitable for a Muslim profat to keep the Non-Muslims in his prison, (kill them Because)they may do bloodshed on the Earth".

There's some edit war going on at Gun Control. An editor StopYourBull just broke 3RR here. In his defense it is a tough article and he wants to go at it alone and wants to use weasel words. The consensus is that the article is too biased and loaded with Weasel words and that it needs to be cleaned up. I left messages on ROG5728 and Stopyourbull's talk pages and on the talk page of the article to stop the warring and come to the talk page. This has been going on and off since December but it's gotten contentious in the last few days. It's a tough little article filled with a lot of weasel words all around. These are the parties who have been editing over the last few days:
Can you help or shuffle this over to someone who can help or just point me in the right direction? Whatever you think is fair. I've been editing for a long time here but admittedly I'm not a pro at what to do over some of these adminship things...3RR violations. Remembered you for blocking someone else a while back, your username stuck in my mind for some reason. If I'm out of line by coming to you, let me know.

If all goes according to plan, we should be launching Echo on en-wiki either tomorrow, or next Tuesday - I'll drop a followup tomorrow when we know what's happening. Should the launch succeed, we'll begin the process of triaging bugs and gathering feedback on what features work, what cause problems, and what we should do next; I hope you'll help us out on these fronts by leaving any comments you might have on the talkpage.

Hello. You have a new message at ColonelHenry's talk page.
Hello Kafziel,
This is Kevjonesin. I just came across ColonelHenry#3RR, etc. after I left a 'whisperback' message on ColonelHenry's talk page regarding a discussion between he and I at User_talk:Kevjonesin/sandbox/User_conflict on the same topics you had mentioned. I interjected responses at 3RR, etc. and would also like to bring your attention to the Kevjonesin/sandbox/User_conflict page as well (please pardon, it's kinda' rough and a bit verbose). Also, User_talk:Kevjonesin#Century formats as well as the various Alcohol laws of New Jersey pages discussed therein. Thanks in advance for your time and attention, -- Kevjonesin ( talk) 22:18, 25 April 2013 (UTC)
Hi. I noticed the message you left on ColonelHenry's talkpage after he responded intemperately to your having blocked him. (I'm not commenting on the merits of the block itself.) While some of your response was constructive, I was dismayed to see an administrator addressing an editor he had just blocked with comments such as "I’m not going to tell you Wikipedia will be worse off without you, because it won’t. Far better editors than you or I have come and gone..." and especially the comment to the editor that if he leaves, "You will not be missed."
I understand that there was other context to what you wrote and that you had good motives for emphasizing that no one on Wikipedia is indispensible. Nonetheless, it is my firm opinion that an administrator should avoid making this sort of comment to any editor, and especially to one whom he's just blocked. I hope you'll give this some thought. Regards, Newyorkbrad ( talk) 22:41, 26 April 2013 (UTC)
If I may interject a thought here, Kafziel, I wasn't offended at all by what you said and one of the things I've always respected was the brutal wisdom of your unsugarcoated candor. I don't think what you said was inappropriate. Although, I do think my block was unwarranted--personally, I wish anyone whose only contribution to an article is changing minor style nonsense (like making eleven → 11) could be bitchslapped more. On the other hand, I do have a few objections to the use of the word "intemperate" because in certain contexts it is associated with drunken belligerence. I'm just bellicose by nature, I don't need alcohol to give me muscles...ironically, I'm a fun drunk--a few drinks would have likely made me laugh off the last week or so. All the best, -- ColonelHenry ( talk) 03:09, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

This edition The Olive Branch is focusing on a 2nd dispute resolution RfC. Two significant proposals have been made. Below we describe the background and recent progress and detail those proposals. Please review them and follow the link at the bottom to comment at the RfC. We need your input!

Until late 2003, Jimmy Wales was the arbiter in all major disputes. After the Mediation Committee and the Arbitration Committee were founded, Wales delegated his roles of dispute resolution to these bodies. In addition to these committees, the community has developed a number of informal processes of dispute resolution. At its peak, over 17 dispute resolution venues existed. Disputes were submitted in each venue in a different way. Due to the complexity of Wikipedia dispute resolution, members of the community were surveyed in April 2012 about their experiences with dispute resolution. In general, the community believes that dispute resolution is too hard to use and is divided among too many venues. Many respondents also reported their experience with dispute resolution had suffered due to a shortage of volunteers and backlogging, which may be due to the disparate nature of the process. An evaluation of dispute resolution forums was made in May this year, in which data on response and resolution time, as well as success rates, was collated. This data is here.
Leading off from the survey in April and the evaluation in May, several changes to dispute resolution noticeboard (DRN) were proposed. Rather than using a wikitext template to bring disputes to DRN, editors used a new javascript form. This form was simpler to use, but also standardised the format of submissions and applied a word limit so that DRN volunteers could more easily review disputes. A template to summarise, and a robot to maintain the noticeboard, were also created. As a result of these changes, volunteers responded to disputes in a third of the time, and resolved them 60% faster when compared to May. Successful resolution of disputes increased by 17%. Submissions were 25% shorter by word count.(see Dispute Resolution Noticeboard Statistics - August compared to May) Outside of DRN other simplification has taken place. The Mediation Cabal was closed in August, and Wikiquette assistance was closed in September. Nevertheless, around fifteen different forums still exist for the resolution of Wikipedia disputes.
Given the success of the past efforts at DR reform, the current RFC proposes we implement: 1) A submission gadget for every DR venue tailored to the unique needs of that forum.
2) A universal dispute resolution wizard, accessible from Wikipedia:Dispute resolution.
3) Additionally, we're seeking any ideas on how we can attract and retain more dispute resolution volunteers. |
Please share your thoughts at the RfC.

Hello, glad to see you support lower case. I wonder, though, if you might consider moving your comment or repeating it at the bottom. I think it will soon be hidden as we were asked not to respond directly to comments there. Then I could add my support to it, by mentioning British papers of the time. Thanks!

Hello. As a participant in Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Abortion article titles, you may wish to register an opinion on its followup RFC, Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Abortion advocacy movement coverage, which is now in its community feedback phase. Please note that WP:RFC/AAMC is not simply a repeat of WP:RFC/AAT, and is attempting to achieve better results by asking a more narrowly-focused, policy-based question of the community. Assumptions based on the previous RFC should be discarded before participation, particularly the assumption that Wikipedia has or inherently needs to have articles covering generalized perspective on each side of abortion advocacy, and that what we are trying to do is come up with labels for that. Thanks! —chaos5023 20:29, 24 October 2012 (UTC)

Anyway. You're getting this note because you've participated in discussion and/or asked for updates to either the Article Feedback Tool or Page Curation. This isn't about either of those things, I'm afraid ;p. We've recently started working on yet another project: Echo, a notifications system to augment the watchlist. There's not much information at the moment, because we're still working out the scope and the concepts, but if you're interested in further updates you can sign up here.
In addition, we'll be holding an office hours session at 21:00 UTC on Wednesday, 14 November in #wikimedia-office - hope to see you all there :). I appreciate it's an annoying time for non-Europeans: if you're interested in chatting about the project but can't make it, give me a shout and I can set up another session if there's enough interest in one particular timezone or a skype call if there isn't. Thanks! Okeyes (WMF) ( talk) 11:06, 10 November 2012 (UTC)
Hey all :). A couple of quick updates (one small, one large)
First, we're continuing to work on some ways to increase the quality of feedback and make it easier to eliminate and deal with non-useful feedback: hopefully I'll have more news for you on this soon :).
Second, we're looking at ways to increase the actual number of users patrolling and take off some of the workload from you lot. Part of this is increasing the prominence of the feedback page, which we're going to try to do with a link at the top of each article to the relevant page. This should be deployed on Tuesday (touch wood!) and we'll be closely monitoring what happens. Let me know if you have any questions or issues :).

For reverting vandalism to my talk page! YOU ROCK!! -- Sue Rangell ✍ ✉ 20:21, 20 November 2012 (UTC) |
I don't know if I can do this myself or if I need administrative assistance. I would like to move the following articles around and do not know how this will interfere with continuity in edit histories, and other back of the house issues. Since you're one of the few admins I know to ask, I look to you for advice on the matter. These are the moves I propose, in order
The rationale for this is that without the initial Philomela/Philomel reference (now at Philomela (princess of Athens)), none of the others mean anything. It is, without a doubt, the chief use of the word and all other uses devolve or derive from it--and as such it should be the easiest to find. Currently, it is not sufficiently cut-and-dry IMHO. I don't see any reason why anyone would object (it's a quiet corner of wikipedia), and I would take the time afterwards to do the dirty work of placing disclaimers at the top of the articles regarding the disambiguation. What would you advise? Thanks in advance. -- ColonelHenry ( talk) 02:22, 26 November 2012 (UTC)
Hey all :). Just a quick note to say we'll be holding office hours in #wikimedia-office at 21:30 UTC this Thursday (the 29th) to show everyone the additional tools we're thinking of working on. All attendence and feedback is appreciated :). Thanks! Okeyes (WMF) ( talk) 14:03, 27 November 2012 (UTC)

I was planning to get involved in both articles related to Little Gidding which presently is a disambiguation page for only two articles. This could be solved more effectively by a hatnote on Little Gidding directing the reader to Little Gidding (poem) and should be uncontroversial. Proposal: (1) delete the disambiguation page at Little Gidding to make way for (2) Move Little Gidding, Cambridgeshire --> Little Gidding. I appreciate your help once again. -- ColonelHenry ( talk) 06:25, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
Done - Seems pretty uncontroversial to me. Quite a few pages are now linking to that article through the redirect left behind at Little Gidding, Cambridgeshire; if you want to fix them, that's great.

Hey Kafziel, I came across this user's talk page and it concerned me a bit. It reads like a manifesto, and contains hateful language such as: "Along with this because the Muslims are not disclosed as terrorist so without the fear of insult other Indian Muslims are also helping them and increasing Terrorism" and "It is not suitable for a Muslim profat to keep the Non-Muslims in his prison, (kill them Because)they may do bloodshed on the Earth".

There's some edit war going on at Gun Control. An editor StopYourBull just broke 3RR here. In his defense it is a tough article and he wants to go at it alone and wants to use weasel words. The consensus is that the article is too biased and loaded with Weasel words and that it needs to be cleaned up. I left messages on ROG5728 and Stopyourbull's talk pages and on the talk page of the article to stop the warring and come to the talk page. This has been going on and off since December but it's gotten contentious in the last few days. It's a tough little article filled with a lot of weasel words all around. These are the parties who have been editing over the last few days:
Can you help or shuffle this over to someone who can help or just point me in the right direction? Whatever you think is fair. I've been editing for a long time here but admittedly I'm not a pro at what to do over some of these adminship things...3RR violations.

If all goes according to plan, we should be launching Echo on en-wiki either tomorrow, or next Tuesday - I'll drop a followup tomorrow when we know what's happening. Should the launch succeed, we'll begin the process of triaging bugs and gathering feedback on what features work, what cause problems, and what we should do next; I hope you'll help us out on these fronts by leaving any comments you might have on the talkpage.

Hello. You have a new message at ColonelHenry's talk page.
Hello Kafziel,
This is Kevjonesin. I just came across ColonelHenry#3RR, etc. after I left a 'whisperback' message on ColonelHenry's talk page regarding a discussion between he and I at User_talk:Kevjonesin/sandbox/User_conflict on the same topics you had mentioned. I interjected responses at 3RR, etc. and would also like to bring your attention to the Kevjonesin/sandbox/User_conflict page as well (please pardon, it's kinda' rough and a bit verbose). Also, User_talk:Kevjonesin#Century formats as well as the various Alcohol laws of New Jersey pages discussed therein. Thanks in advance for your time and attention, -- Kevjonesin ( talk) 22:18, 25 April 2013 (UTC)
Hi. I noticed the message you left on ColonelHenry's talkpage after he responded intemperately to your having blocked him. (I'm not commenting on the merits of the block itself.) While some of your response was constructive, I was dismayed to see an administrator addressing an editor he had just blocked with comments such as "I’m not going to tell you Wikipedia will be worse off without you, because it won’t. Far better editors than you or I have come and gone..." and especially the comment to the editor that if he leaves, "You will not be missed."
I understand that there was other context to what you wrote and that you had good motives for emphasizing that no one on Wikipedia is indispensible. Nonetheless, it is my firm opinion that an administrator should avoid making this sort of comment to any editor, and especially to one whom he's just blocked. I hope you'll give this some thought. Regards, Newyorkbrad ( talk) 22:41, 26 April 2013 (UTC)
If I may interject a thought here, Kafziel, I wasn't offended at all by what you said and one of the things I've always respected was the brutal wisdom of your unsugarcoated candor. I don't think what you said was inappropriate. Although, I do think my block was unwarranted--personally, I wish anyone whose only contribution to an article is changing minor style nonsense (like making eleven → 11) could be bitchslapped more. On the other hand, I do have a few objections to the use of the word "intemperate" because in certain contexts it is associated with drunken belligerence. I'm just bellicose by nature, I don't need alcohol to give me muscles...ironically, I'm a fun drunk--a few drinks would have likely made me laugh off the last week or so. All the best, -- ColonelHenry ( talk) 03:09, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

You blocked IP 184.20.209.241 ( talk · contribs) yesterday, but it appears that with the block gone, he's back at my talk page with the same nonsense (see [1]). I dunno if you feel right in blocking him again, or if I should go back to AN where I initially posted for help. -- MASEM ( t) 23:52, 12 June 2013 (UTC)
