Hey, Kirill, I ran the report by the Wikitech-ambassadors list, and they brought up the search thing that got edited out again. What can we do to improve the edited-out bit to something useable?
“ | Improvements to the search infrastructure promise to make it more reliable. Now that the backend is fixed, new features, like the ability to search within a category, are planned. | ” |

I am contacting you since you are an administrator interested in military history with a knowledge of Russian. I have been involved in a mini edit war with a dynamic IP in Russia over at World War II casualties of the Soviet Union#POW deaths. The user is misrepresenting the statistical data in the source G. I. Krivosheev. Soviet Casualties and Combat Losses/РОССИЯ И СССР В ВОЙНАХ XX ВЕКА [1] The user cites as the source for his edits Лев Лопуховский, Борис Кавалерчик, "Когда мы узнаем реальную цену разгрома гитлеровской Германии? (Lev Lopukhovsky, Boris Kavalerchik, When shall we Learn Real Price of VG?) [2] In my opinion this is a self published webpage that should not be considered a reliable source.

Don't you think that's a bit much? This is akin to reprimanding someone for picking up trash because the person isn't the janitor. Please remove your dramatastic notice from the page.-- The Devil's Advocate tlk. cntrb. 22:04, 8 September 2013 (UTC)
A Quest for Knowledge and The Devil's Advocate-I regret that my format was incorrect. I dispute that it is off topic. I understand the topic is the name of the entry for the individual convicted of espionage and related charges to Wikileaks and is now confined at the United States Disciplinary Barracks at Ft Leavenworth, KS. That person is Pvt. Bradley Manning. The request for pardon of Pvt. Manning is in the name of Bradley Manning and uses masculine pronouns. I have no issue if Wikipedia uses feminine pronouns for this individual and refers to her preference to be called Chelsea Elizabeth Manning if the entry title is Bradley Manning. I thought immediate blocking of an editor was to be imposed for any unauthorized removal of my post. Is that incorrect? Patroit22 ( talk) 02:03, 9 September 2013 (UTC)
Devils Advocate- The post was restored but it continues to be discussed with terms such as "trash. splattered and if it were in any way relevant." Would you please be a little more polite? Patroit22 ( talk) 10:21, 9 September 2013 (UTC)

Hello Kirill Lokshin! I found your name on the list of members at the WikiProject Women scientists page and wanted to ask you for your help. Maybe you've seen the message I left on the Women scientists discussion page last week, but I'm looking for someone to help with part of the article for UC Davis chancellor Linda Katehi.
Right now the information under the "Involvement in STEM" heading in her article is actually just about STEM in California in general. I'd like to replace this information with a few paragraphs that are about Katehi instead.
I am aware, as an editor with a conflict of interest, that I shouldn't fix up this information myself so I have shared on the article's discussion page a few paragraphs that I think would be a good replacement. Here is my earlier message. Would you be able to take a look at this and maybe help me out?
Thank you for looking at this. LindaF UC Davis ( talk) 21:07, 11 September 2013 (UTC)

You might want to add this diff, it demonstrates it better.--v/r - T P 15:30, 24 September 2013 (UTC)
I believe that Kirill's finding of fact 7 subtly misrepresents the close. The admins did analyse the arguments during the RFC that BLP required a move of the article, and rejected them as insufficient. That's a normal part of WP:CONSENSUS. Describing it as a "super-vote" is dismissive and cheapens the work that went into evaluating the discussion.
I've proposed an alternate finding of fact 7 at /info/en/?search=Wikipedia_talk:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Manning_naming_dispute/Proposed_decision#Analysis_of_change_of_article_title_by_closing_administrators . Multiple arbitrators have been pinged, but none have responded.
If you need Boz, BD2412 and I to explicitly insert the sentence "After carefully evaluating the comments about BLP in the discussion, we have concluded ..." into point 3, we certainly can, but that's a part of closing an RFC. I find it insulting that anyone thinks that we skipped it.— Kww( talk) 02:31, 29 September 2013 (UTC)
Hi, there is a problem with your formulation that I explained at WT:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Manning naming dispute/Proposed decision#Incorrect claim in proposed finding of facts. But it appears that you didn't see it and that several other arbitrators didn't read the talk page before voting. Meanwhile, others have found other things to criticise with the proposed finding. I suggest that you have a look here: WT:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Manning naming dispute/Proposed decision#Gerard_explanation. Hans Adler 08:36, 29 September 2013 (UTC)
Hi. You're being contacted as you've previously used global message delivery (or its English Wikipedia counterpart). It doesn't feel so great to be spammed, does it? ;-)
For the past few months, Legoktm has built a replacement to the current message delivery system called MassMessage. MassMessage uses a proper user interface form (no more editing a /Spam subpage), works faster (it can complete a large delivery in minutes), and no longer requires being on an access list (any local administrator can use it). In addition, many tiny annoyances with the old system have been addressed. It's a real improvement! :-)
You can test out MassMessage here:
testwiki:Special:MassMessage. The biggest difference you'll likely notice is that any input list must use a new {{#target:}}
parser function. For example, {{#target:User talk:Jimbo Wales}}
or {{#target:User talk:Jimbo Wales|test2.wikipedia.org}}
. For detailed instructions, check out
mw:Help:Extension:MassMessage.
If you find any bugs, have suggestions for additional features, or have any other feedback, drop a note at m:Talk:MassMessage. Thanks for spamming! -- MZMcBride ( talk) 05:18, 1 October 2013 (UTC)

Wikimedia DC invites you to join us for a special WikiSalon at the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial Library's Digital Commons Center. We will gather at 3 PM on Sunday, October 13, 2013 to discuss an important topic: what can Wikipedia and the DC area do to help each other? We hope to hear your thoughts and suggestions; if you have an idea you would like to pursue, please let us know and we will help!
Following the WikiSalon, we will be having dinner at a nearby restaurant, Ella's Wood Fired Pizza.
If you're interested in attending, please sign up at the event page. We look forward to seeing you there! Kirill [talk] 01:46, 8 October 2013 (UTC)
It appears that most of the milhist coordinators have no real objection to the idea of collapsing the history table, however I wanted to ask you if it would be possible to collapse the table in such a way as to keep the current tranche visible on the table, or if in order to keep the current tranche visible we would need to emancipate the section from the table to ensure that it would remain visible. TomStar81 ( Talk) 21:09, 8 October 2013 (UTC)
Hello again Kirill Lokshin! It took me a little longer than I thought it would, but I've pasted another portion of the Linda Katehi article on the discussion page for other editors to look over. I've rewritten the information under the "Work" heading this time, because it doesn't have footnotes to support the information, which I understand information on Wikipedia should have. Here is the new message about this if you're able to help out again.
Thank you for looking at this. LindaF UC Davis ( talk) 16:14, 9 October 2013 (UTC)

Hey Kirill. I'm pretty sure don't actually need one of these since you're flying out here, but I just wanted to send a reminder about the meetup next Saturday at the Pritzker Military Library.

Hello, Kirill Lokshin. Thank you again for your previous help on the Linda Katehi page. I recently left two new messages on the discussion page for editors to look over about restructuring the entire article in order to organize the information more logically and about condensing the information about the protest in 2011 so that the section just focuses on Katehi's actions. Here is the new message about reorganizing the page and you'll find my other message directly below that one. If you're able to help out again can you look over either, or both if you have time, of these messages and let me know what you think?
Thank you for looking at this. LindaF UC Davis ( talk) 23:54, 25 October 2013 (UTC)
Hey Kirill! I think you are probably on your plane back home or soon will be. It was a pleasure to meet you yesterday, and thank you for bringing your humor and enthusiasm to the edit-a-thon. I hope you enjoyed visiting Chicago and the Pritzker. Keilana and I really appreciated your company yesterday. Also, I was able to crunch some of the data last night, and we accomplished a lot!

On 29 October 2013, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Anna Baetjer, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that Anna Baetjer discovered the link between chromium exposure and cancer? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Anna Baetjer. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Anna Baetjer, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page War Department ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

The Brilliant Idea Barnstar is awarded to "a user who figures out an elegant solution to a particularly burdensome bottleneck or problem, or who identifies a means to improve Wikipedia in a profound way." Your template is one of the best ideas I've seen on Wikipedia, and I think it deserves clear recognition. To Kirill Lokshin, for the idea behind Template:@MILHIST, I award this Brilliant Idea Barnstar. AGK [•] 16:11, 29 November 2013 (UTC) |
Having never filed an arbcom request before, I wanted to ask you a question: Hypothetically, how much evidence should be presented under ideal circumstances for a case to move forward? I imagine that the rule here is the more the better, but I would like to know if quality counterbalances quantity, and (hypothetically) whether there was an unofficial minimum amount of evidence I would need for an arbcom case in order to have a shot at the case being accepted? TomStar81 ( Talk) 00:48, 1 December 2013 (UTC)
Hi Kirill, I was thinking of utilising the same concept as @Milhist to signal the FAC delegates/coordinators as a group. I was just planning to clone the @Milhist template and template/doc pages to do it; are there any hidden obstacles I should be aware of? Cheers, Ian Rose ( talk) 00:30, 29 November 2013 (UTC)
Hey Kirill :). As mentioned on the Milhist coordinators talkpage, we've opened Flow up for community testing. I'd be really grateful if you could hammer on the system (if you haven't already!), let me know any bugs you find, and leave a note at the 'first release' page explaining what you, as a member of Wikiproject Military History, would need to see to be okay with it being deployed on that wikiproject's talkpage.
Thanks! Okeyes (WMF) ( talk) 20:03, 3 December 2013 (UTC)
There is a serious backlog of about 20K individual IPs that are blocked without expiration. I have broken the IPs into groups of 5000: m:User:とある白い猫/English Wikipedia open proxy candidates. So they are effectively blocked until time ends. This creates considerable potential collateral damage as the owners of IPs tend to be not very consistent. Some of these IPs are on dynamic ranges which results in arbitrary blocks of good users. Vast majority of the blocks go back years all the way to 2004 - some were preemptively blocked. Nowadays even open proxies normally do not get indefinite blocks.
The problem is that no single admin wants to review this many IPs and very few have the technical capability to review. Such a technical review would be non-trivial for individual IPs which in my humble opinion would be a complete waste of time. I feel ArbCom could step in and provide criteria for bulk action. A bulk unblock of all indefinite blocks (with exceptions if the specific single IP unblocks are contested) before - say - 2010 would be a good start.
Open proxies tend to be better handled at meta as open proxies are a global problem for all wikis.

I set up the Stub Contest, which is running at present and Mitchazenia and I are marking entries as we go. The main aim was expanding stubs but I also added regrading stubs that have been expanded to the scoring as well...this has backfired somewhat in that folks are reclassifying thousands of articles that had been marked as stubs but have been since buffed (the idea is that this is a good way to clarify how many stubs there are).
Anyway, we need some help scoring, so if you had any spare time to do some wikignoming this would be great as I am busy with Xmas shopping and all sorts of crap IRL (also my house doesn't have aircon and it is stinking hot here right now....). E.g. Wizardman has re-rated over 1000 articles from stubs to start class or better. I've checked 225 of them so far - see Wikipedia:Stub Contest/Entries/Wizardman. What I've been doing is ticking them once checked and once completed, then putting the tally on the scoreboard. Can you see how it works? There are some issues with scoring between stub and start as there are some conflicting criteria on the assessment page, but I've generally been a bit lenient.
i.e. if you have any time to even do a few I'd be insanely grateful.....cheers, Cas Liber ( talk · contribs) 02:58, 22 December 2013 (UTC)
Hi, I just logged in an incident on ANI. Check this [4]. I feel that the action by the admin in discussion was harsh, sudden and one sided. Whilst I wait for the discussion on ANI to progress, I am placing a request to you if you can review this independently and give me your feedback. Cheers AKS

Hi Kirill. One of the threads you archived recently from the MILHIST co-ordinators page was this one (about re-activating various talk pages). One of the areas I'm hoping to do more work on this coming year is on various articles related to World War I, so I was hoping that the World War I task force would have its own talk page where that could be discussed. There are a number of editors I've noticed doing lots of work in this area, and if there is going to be a sustained effort at co-ordination it likely needs to start soon. I was going to bring this up at the co-ordinators' talk page, but looking at some of the recent discussion I'm not sure the timing is great. When do you think would be a good time to suggest this? Please feel free to copy this over to the best location for it to be discussed. Carcharoth ( talk) 15:09, 27 December 2013 (UTC)

Hello there,
I am pleased to say that April will be a very exciting month for Wikipedia in Washington, DC. We have a lot of different events coming up, so you will have a lot to choose from.
First, a reminder that our second annual Women in the Arts Edit-a-Thon will take place on Sunday, March 30 at the National Museum of Women in the Arts.
Coming up in April, we have our first-ever Open Government WikiHack with the Sunlight Foundation on April 5–6! We are working together to use open government data to improve the Wikimedia projects, and we would love your help. All are welcome, regardless of coding or editing experience. We will also be having a happy hour the day before, with refreshments courtesy of the Sunlight Foundation.
On Friday, April 11 we are having our first edit-a-thon ever with the Library of Congress. The Africa Collection Edit-a-Thon will focus on the Library's African and Middle East Reading Room. It'll be early in the morning, but it's especially worth it if you're interested in improving Wikipedia's coverage of African topics.
The following day, we are having our second annual Wiki Loves Capitol Hill training. We will discuss policy issues relevant to Wikimedia and plan for our day of outreach to Congressional staffers that will take place during the following week.
There are other meetups in the works, so be sure to check our meetup page with the latest. I hope to see you at some of these events!
All the best,
James Hare

Hello! I'm reaching out to you on behalf of the Funds Dissemination Committee to request your input on the four proposals that have been submitted to the FDC in this round. The FDC reviews these proposals on behalf of the Wikimedia movement, as it is movement money that they spend, and in order to review them effectively we need to understand your perspective on them, and to ensure that any questions you have about them have been appropriately answered. The proposals are linked to from meta:Grants:APG/Proposals/Community/Review#Proposals_for_review. Please provide your feedback through the talk pages for each proposal.
In particular, please take a close look at the Wikimedia Foundation's draft annual plan. As they have a projected budget of over $60 million (including the grants that they will provide to other movement entities), their plans need extra scrutiny by the community to make sure that they are spending the movement's money effectively.
We will also send you a message to ask you for your input in future rounds of the FDC. If you don't want to receive such messages, then please say so below.
Thanks! Mike Peel ( talk) 19:30, 24 April 2014 (UTC)

I was wondering what you might tghink of maybe starting a MILHIST task force for one or more of the sister WMF entities. Not being as familiar with the broad area of military history as you are, I obviously don't know which would be a potentially greater priority, but I do think maybe wikisource might be the best "gateway" to developing the others, and maybe wikipedia itself. It could easily host encyclopedic PD material which could be potentially useful in developing and establishing notability of wikipedia articles, and some of the PD narrative histories could also be useful in developing content for the likes of wikibooks and wikiversity.
MILHIST also has the best tradition of all the WikiProjects of effectively being able to break up big tasks into more achievable units, which is an additional plus. With the comparatively recent indexes at wikisource:Category:Index, it might be possible to get even long volumes transcribed for easier use elsewhere. And, of course, if it suceeds, maybe it could inspire others to follow suit.
Anyway, I would be interested in your opinion. John Carter ( talk) 15:11, 5 July 2014 (UTC)

Sorry for the last minute update, but our friends at the DC Historical Society have scheduled a Battle of Fort Stevens Edit-a-Thon to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the Civil War battle fought in the District. The event will last from noon to 2 PM on Wednesday, July 30. Hope you can make it!

Kirill, it was great, if brief, seeing you at Wikimania. I think that the DC Chapter should emulate the example of the London Chapter, and have a dedicated physical office space. In fact, I think that we should go beyond that and open a storefront in the Crystal City mall (which has some viable locations available at reasonable rents with useful neighbors like TechShop). Call it an experiment in a brick-and-mortar Wikispace, a place where local editors can come to work collaboratively and perhaps share some tools, while curious passers-by can stop in to learn about the Wikimedia movement. What do you think? bd2412 T 20:10, 14 August 2014 (UTC)

G'day Kirill, this one is a bit strange. The ACR pre-dates the GA (which I haven't struck before), and it is bringing it up on Category:Military history articles needing attention to tagging. Any ideas how to fix? Thanks, Peacemaker67 ( send... over) 13:03, 24 August 2014 (UTC)

See you at the Laurel Pool Room, 9th and Main Street, Laurel, MD on Thursday, September 11, 2014 at 7:00 PM EST. See http://www.meetup.com/Wikimedia-DC/events/205494212/ for more information. Geraldshields11 ( talk) 02:13, 6 September 2014 (UTC)
The WikiSalon is a special meetup usually held during the first and third full weeks of every month, from 7 PM to 9 PM. It's an informal gathering of Wikimedia enthusiasts, who come together to discuss Wikimedia wikis and collaboratively edit. There's no set agenda, and guests are welcome to recommend articles for the group to edit or edit on their own.
If you're coming by Metro, the closest station is Dupont Circle (on the Red Line). If you're driving, a lot of parking opens up downtown after 6:30 PM, so finding a parking space (even a free one) should be easy. Once you've found the building, go to Cove on the second floor. We will be in the conference room.
When: Wednesday, September 17, 2014 at 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM
Where: The Cove, Dupont Circle, 1730 Connecticut Avenue NW, 2nd floor, 20009, DC

As you m ay have guessed, I have two questions for you:
OMT's showcase material is here, but according to the history it's been in its current form since 2012, and I know we have had some major developments since then. As for the other request, its no biggie per se, its just that I like to double check at the end of the year to make sure that anyone who should've gotten an award for something did (ie five FAs means an FA ribbon, sister project awards handed out to editors for their work in an specific area like planes or ships, etc). FA is usually a good place to start, and I've done it before manually, it just gets a little trickier is all :) TomStar81 ( Talk) 16:21, 12 December 2014 (UTC)

Hello Kirill Lokshin,
I'll be putting out a formal update sometime soon, but I wanted to inform you that I've decided to push our start date back to mid-February rather than in January. There are number of reasons for this, but the biggest factor is that we are now facing the hard work of implementing our designs on the
Mediawiki interface. It's a limiting environment to work with from a web-building perspective, and the team that worked on
the Teahouse can offer similar testimonials to these challenges. We also want to make sure there is time for us and for you to test the environment out, ask questions at our project's
talk page, and give us a little time to make any last changes before we start inviting editors to the space. If some of you know you will be unavailable during this time, it's totally fine if you need to bow out for the pilot. But we do need all the mentors we can get, so even if you can take the time to mentor just one or two editors, that would be fantastic.
Thanks a bunch,
I, JethroBT

Don't you think that's a bit much? This is akin to reprimanding someone for picking up trash because the person isn't the janitor. Please remove your dramatastic notice from the page.-- The Devil's Advocate tlk. cntrb. 22:04, 8 September 2013 (UTC)
A Quest for Knowledge and The Devil's Advocate-I regret that my format was incorrect. I dispute that it is off topic. I understand the topic is the name of the entry for the individual convicted of espionage and related charges to Wikileaks and is now confined at the United States Disciplinary Barracks at Ft Leavenworth, KS. That person is Pvt. Bradley Manning. The request for pardon of Pvt. Manning is in the name of Bradley Manning and uses masculine pronouns. I have no issue if Wikipedia uses feminine pronouns for this individual and refers to her preference to be called Chelsea Elizabeth Manning if the entry title is Bradley Manning. I thought immediate blocking of an editor was to be imposed for any unauthorized removal of my post. Is that incorrect? Patroit22 ( talk) 02:03, 9 September 2013 (UTC)
Devils Advocate- The post was restored but it continues to be discussed with terms such as "trash. splattered and if it were in any way relevant." Would you please be a little more polite? Patroit22 ( talk) 10:21, 9 September 2013 (UTC)

Hello Kirill Lokshin! I found your name on the list of members at the WikiProject Women scientists page and wanted to ask you for your help. Maybe you've seen the message I left on the Women scientists discussion page last week, but I'm looking for someone to help with part of the article for UC Davis chancellor Linda Katehi.
Right now the information under the "Involvement in STEM" heading in her article is actually just about STEM in California in general. I'd like to replace this information with a few paragraphs that are about Katehi instead.
I am aware, as an editor with a conflict of interest, that I shouldn't fix up this information myself so I have shared on the article's discussion page a few paragraphs that I think would be a good replacement. Here is my earlier message. Would you be able to take a look at this and maybe help me out?
Thank you for looking at this. LindaF UC Davis ( talk) 21:07, 11 September 2013 (UTC)

You might want to add this diff, it demonstrates it better.--v/r - T P 15:30, 24 September 2013 (UTC)
I believe that Kirill's finding of fact 7 subtly misrepresents the close. The admins did analyse the arguments during the RFC that BLP required a move of the article, and rejected them as insufficient. That's a normal part of WP:CONSENSUS. Describing it as a "super-vote" is dismissive and cheapens the work that went into evaluating the discussion.
I've proposed an alternate finding of fact 7 at /info/en/?search=Wikipedia_talk:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Manning_naming_dispute/Proposed_decision#Analysis_of_change_of_article_title_by_closing_administrators . Multiple arbitrators have been pinged, but none have responded.
If you need Boz, BD2412 and I to explicitly insert the sentence "After carefully evaluating the comments about BLP in the discussion, we have concluded ..." into point 3, we certainly can, but that's a part of closing an RFC. I find it insulting that anyone thinks that we skipped it.— Kww( talk) 02:31, 29 September 2013 (UTC)
Hi, there is a problem with your formulation that I explained at WT:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Manning naming dispute/Proposed decision#Incorrect claim in proposed finding of facts. But it appears that you didn't see it and that several other arbitrators didn't read the talk page before voting. Meanwhile, others have found other things to criticise with the proposed finding. I suggest that you have a look here: WT:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Manning naming dispute/Proposed decision#Gerard_explanation. Hans Adler 08:36, 29 September 2013 (UTC)
Hi. You're being contacted as you've previously used global message delivery (or its English Wikipedia counterpart). It doesn't feel so great to be spammed, does it? ;-)
For the past few months, Legoktm has built a replacement to the current message delivery system called MassMessage. MassMessage uses a proper user interface form (no more editing a /Spam subpage), works faster (it can complete a large delivery in minutes), and no longer requires being on an access list (any local administrator can use it). In addition, many tiny annoyances with the old system have been addressed. It's a real improvement! :-)
You can test out MassMessage here:
testwiki:Special:MassMessage. The biggest difference you'll likely notice is that any input list must use a new {{#target:}}
parser function. For example, {{#target:User talk:Jimbo Wales}}
or {{#target:User talk:Jimbo Wales|test2.wikipedia.org}}
. For detailed instructions, check out
mw:Help:Extension:MassMessage.
If you find any bugs, have suggestions for additional features, or have any other feedback, drop a note at m:Talk:MassMessage. Thanks for spamming! -- MZMcBride ( talk) 05:18, 1 October 2013 (UTC)

We hope to hear your thoughts and suggestions; if you have an idea you would like to pursue, please let us know and we will help!
Following the WikiSalon, we will be having dinner at a nearby restaurant, Ella's Wood Fired Pizza.

It appears that most of the milhist coordinators have no real objection to the idea of collapsing the history table, however I wanted to ask you if it would be possible to collapse the table in such a way as to keep the current tranche visible on the table, or if in order to keep the current tranche visible we would need to emancipate the section from the table to ensure that it would remain visible. TomStar81 ( Talk) 21:09, 8 October 2013 (UTC)
Hello again Kirill Lokshin! It took me a little longer than I thought it would, but I've pasted another portion of the Linda Katehi article on the discussion page for other editors to look over. I've rewritten the information under the "Work" heading this time, because it doesn't have footnotes to support the information, which I understand information on Wikipedia should have. Here is the new message about this if you're able to help out again.

Hello, Kirill Lokshin. Thank you again for your previous help on the Linda Katehi page. I recently left two new messages on the discussion page for editors to look over about restructuring the entire article in order to organize the information more logically and about condensing the information about the protest in 2011 so that the section just focuses on Katehi's actions. Here is the new message about reorganizing the page and you'll find my other message directly below that one. If you're able to help out again can you look over either, or both if you have time, of these messages and let me know what you think?
Thank you for looking at this. LindaF UC Davis ( talk) 23:54, 25 October 2013 (UTC)

The Brilliant Idea Barnstar is awarded to "a user who figures out an elegant solution to a particularly burdensome bottleneck or problem, or who identifies a means to improve Wikipedia in a profound way." Your template is one of the best ideas I've seen on Wikipedia, and I think it deserves clear recognition. To Kirill Lokshin, for the idea behind Template:@MILHIST, I award this Brilliant Idea Barnstar. AGK [•] 16:11, 29 November 2013 (UTC) |
Having never filed an arbcom request before, I wanted to ask you a question: Hypothetically, how much evidence should be presented under ideal circumstances for a case to move forward? I imagine that the rule here is the more the better, but I would like to know if quality counterbalances quantity, and (hypothetically) whether there was an unofficial minimum amount of evidence I would need for an arbcom case in order to have a shot at the case being accepted? TomStar81 ( Talk) 00:48, 1 December 2013 (UTC)
Hi Kirill, I was thinking of utilising the same concept as @Milhist to signal the FAC delegates/coordinators as a group. I was just planning to clone the @Milhist template and template/doc pages to do it; are there any hidden obstacles I should be aware of? Cheers, Ian Rose ( talk) 00:30, 29 November 2013 (UTC)
Hey Kirill :). As mentioned on the Milhist coordinators talkpage, we've opened Flow up for community testing. I'd be really grateful if you could hammer on the system (if you haven't already!), let me know any bugs you find, and leave a note at the 'first release' page explaining what you, as a member of Wikiproject Military History, would need to see to be okay with it being deployed on that wikiproject's talkpage.
Thanks! Okeyes (WMF) ( talk) 20:03, 3 December 2013 (UTC)
There is a serious backlog of about 20K individual IPs that are blocked without expiration. I have broken the IPs into groups of 5000: m:User:とある白い猫/English Wikipedia open proxy candidates. So they are effectively blocked until time ends. This creates considerable potential collateral damage as the owners of IPs tend to be not very consistent. Some of these IPs are on dynamic ranges which results in arbitrary blocks of good users. Vast majority of the blocks go back years all the way to 2004 - some were preemptively blocked. Nowadays even open proxies normally do not get indefinite blocks.
The problem is that no single admin wants to review this many IPs and very few have the technical capability to review. Such a technical review would be non-trivial for individual IPs which in my humble opinion would be a complete waste of time. I feel ArbCom could step in and provide criteria for bulk action. A bulk unblock of all indefinite blocks (with exceptions if the specific single IP unblocks are contested) before - say - 2010 would be a good start.
Open proxies tend to be better handled at meta as open proxies are a global problem for all wikis.

I set up the Stub Contest, which is running at present and Mitchazenia and I are marking entries as we go. The main aim was expanding stubs but I also added regrading stubs that have been expanded to the scoring as well...this has backfired somewhat in that folks are reclassifying thousands of articles that had been marked as stubs but have been since buffed (the idea is that this is a good way to clarify how many stubs there are).
Anyway, we need some help scoring, so if you had any spare time to do some wikignoming this would be great as I am busy with Xmas shopping and all sorts of crap IRL (also my house doesn't have aircon and it is stinking hot here right now....). E.g. Wizardman has re-rated over 1000 articles from stubs to start class or better. I've checked 225 of them so far - see Wikipedia:Stub Contest/Entries/Wizardman. What I've been doing is ticking them once checked and once completed, then putting the tally on the scoreboard. Can you see how it works? There are some issues with scoring between stub and start as there are some conflicting criteria on the assessment page, but I've generally been a bit lenient.
i.e. if you have any time to even do a few I'd be insanely grateful.....cheers, Cas Liber ( talk · contribs) 02:58, 22 December 2013 (UTC)
Hi, I just logged in an incident on ANI. Check this [4]. I feel that the action by the admin in discussion was harsh, sudden and one sided. Whilst I wait for the discussion on ANI to progress, I am placing a request to you if you can review this independently and give me your feedback. Cheers AKS

Hi Kirill. One of the threads you archived recently from the MILHIST co-ordinators page was this one (about re-activating various talk pages). One of the areas I'm hoping to do more work on this coming year is on various articles related to World War I, so I was hoping that the World War I task force would have its own talk page where that could be discussed. There are a number of editors I've noticed doing lots of work in this area, and if there is going to be a sustained effort at co-ordination it likely needs to start soon. I was going to bring this up at the co-ordinators' talk page, but looking at some of the recent discussion I'm not sure the timing is great. When do you think would be a good time to suggest this? Please feel free to copy this over to the best location for it to be discussed. Carcharoth ( talk) 15:09, 27 December 2013 (UTC)

Hello there,
I am pleased to say that April will be a very exciting month for Wikipedia in Washington, DC. We have a lot of different events coming up, so you will have a lot to choose from.
First, a reminder that our second annual Women in the Arts Edit-a-Thon will take place on Sunday, March 30 at the National Museum of Women in the Arts.
Coming up in April, we have our first-ever Open Government WikiHack with the Sunlight Foundation on April 5–6! We are working together to use open government data to improve the Wikimedia projects, and we would love your help. All are welcome, regardless of coding or editing experience. We will also be having a happy hour the day before, with refreshments courtesy of the Sunlight Foundation.
On Friday, April 11 we are having our first edit-a-thon ever with the Library of Congress. The Africa Collection Edit-a-Thon will focus on the Library's African and Middle East Reading Room. It'll be early in the morning, but it's especially worth it if you're interested in improving Wikipedia's coverage of African topics.
The following day, we are having our second annual Wiki Loves Capitol Hill training. We will discuss policy issues relevant to Wikimedia and plan for our day of outreach to Congressional staffers that will take place during the following week.
There are other meetups in the works, so be sure to check our meetup page with the latest. I hope to see you at some of these events!
All the best,
James Hare

Hello! I'm reaching out to you on behalf of the Funds Dissemination Committee to request your input on the four proposals that have been submitted to the FDC in this round. The FDC reviews these proposals on behalf of the Wikimedia movement, as it is movement money that they spend, and in order to review them effectively we need to understand your perspective on them, and to ensure that any questions you have about them have been appropriately answered. The proposals are linked to from meta:Grants:APG/Proposals/Community/Review#Proposals_for_review. Please provide your feedback through the talk pages for each proposal.
In particular, please take a close look at the Wikimedia Foundation's draft annual plan. As they have a projected budget of over $60 million (including the grants that they will provide to other movement entities), their plans need extra scrutiny by the community to make sure that they are spending the movement's money effectively.
We will also send you a message to ask you for your input in future rounds of the FDC. If you don't want to receive such messages, then please say so below.

If you would like to sign up for the picnic, you can do so here. When signing up, say what you’re going to bring!
July will also feature the second annual Great American Wiknic in Frederick, Maryland. This year’s Frederick picnic will take place on Sunday, July 6 at Baker Park. Sign up here for the Frederick picnic.

I was wondering what you might tghink of maybe starting a MILHIST task force for one or more of the sister WMF entities. Not being as familiar with the broad area of military history as you are, I obviously don't know which would be a potentially greater priority, but I do think maybe wikisource might be the best "gateway" to developing the others, and maybe wikipedia itself. It could easily host encyclopedic PD material which could be potentially useful in developing and establishing notability of wikipedia articles, and some of the PD narrative histories could also be useful in developing content for the likes of wikibooks and wikiversity.
MILHIST also has the best tradition of all the WikiProjects of effectively being able to break up big tasks into more achievable units, which is an additional plus. With the comparatively recent indexes at wikisource:Category:Index, it might be possible to get even long volumes transcribed for easier use elsewhere. And, of course, if it suceeds, maybe it could inspire others to follow suit.
Anyway, I would be interested in your opinion. John Carter ( talk) 15:11, 5 July 2014 (UTC)

Sorry for the last minute update, but our friends at the DC Historical Society have scheduled a Battle of Fort Stevens Edit-a-Thon to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the Civil War battle fought in the District. The event will last from noon to 2 PM on Wednesday, July 30. Hope you can make it!

Kirill, it was great, if brief, seeing you at Wikimania. I think that the DC Chapter should emulate the example of the London Chapter, and have a dedicated physical office space. In fact, I think that we should go beyond that and open a storefront in the Crystal City mall (which has some viable locations available at reasonable rents with useful neighbors like TechShop). Call it an experiment in a brick-and-mortar Wikispace, a place where local editors can come to work collaboratively and perhaps share some tools, while curious passers-by can stop in to learn about the Wikimedia movement. What do you think? bd2412 T 20:10, 14 August 2014 (UTC)

G'day Kirill, this one is a bit strange. The ACR pre-dates the GA (which I haven't struck before), and it is bringing it up on Category:Military history articles needing attention to tagging. Any ideas how to fix? Thanks, Peacemaker67 ( send... over) 13:03, 24 August 2014 (UTC)

See you at the Laurel Pool Room, 9th and Main Street, Laurel, MD on Thursday, September 11, 2014 at 7:00 PM EST. See http://www.meetup.com/Wikimedia-DC/events/205494212/ for more information. Geraldshields11 ( talk) 02:13, 6 September 2014 (UTC)
The WikiSalon is a special meetup usually held during the first and third full weeks of every month, from 7 PM to 9 PM. It's an informal gathering of Wikimedia enthusiasts, who come together to discuss Wikimedia wikis and collaboratively edit. There's no set agenda, and guests are welcome to recommend articles for the group to edit or edit on their own.
If you're coming by Metro, the closest station is Dupont Circle (on the Red Line). If you're driving, a lot of parking opens up downtown after 6:30 PM, so finding a parking space (even a free one) should be easy. Once you've found the building, go to Cove on the second floor. We will be in the conference room.
When: Wednesday, September 17, 2014 at 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM
Where: The Cove, Dupont Circle, 1730 Connecticut Avenue NW, 2nd floor, 20009, DC

Hey Kirill. I've posted some initial information and discussions points about the space for mentors here. Give it a read, ask questions on what's not clear, and feel free to add suggestions to the topics I've brought up about mentoring so far.

As you m ay have guessed, I have two questions for you:
OMT's showcase material is here, but according to the history it's been in its current form since 2012, and I know we have had some major developments since then. As for the other request, its no biggie per se, its just that I like to double check at the end of the year to make sure that anyone who should've gotten an award for something did (ie five FAs means an FA ribbon, sister project awards handed out to editors for their work in an specific area like planes or ships, etc). FA is usually a good place to start, and I've done it before manually, it just gets a little trickier is all :) TomStar81 ( Talk) 16:21, 12 December 2014 (UTC)
Nominations for the military historian of the year and military newcomer of the year have now closed, and voting for the candidates has officially opened.

Hello Kirill Lokshin,
I'll be putting out a formal update sometime soon, but I wanted to inform you that I've decided to push our start date back to mid-February rather than in January. There are number of reasons for this, but the biggest factor is that we are now facing the hard work of implementing our designs on the
Mediawiki interface. It's a limiting environment to work with from a web-building perspective, and the team that worked on
the Teahouse can offer similar testimonials to these challenges. We also want to make sure there is time for us and for you to test the environment out, ask questions at our project's
talk page, and give us a little time to make any last changes before we start inviting editors to the space. If some of you know you will be unavailable during this time, it's totally fine if you need to bow out for the pilot. But we do need all the mentors we can get, so even if you can take the time to mentor just one or two editors, that would be fantastic.
Thanks a bunch,
I, JethroBT

Wikipedia:Co-op.
