Decided not to reply in the comments in the event it goes overboard. I just want to understand what your point is for pointing out my lack of editing on Wikipedia, even while I haven't touched the Signpost in around a year itself. GamerPro64 23:14, 1 April 2018 (UTC)
Hi Kudpung, not sure if we have interacted before, if not, nice to finally talk with you. I saw your request for discussion about the Signpost on village proposals. I don't think it's feasible to have the same heavy-hitting articles in every issue -- but something I have been thinking about recently is just a small, frequent series of pieces by editors of all descriptions on how they are contributing and in what area.
We have so many different types of editors it would be fascinating and, I think help the community to understand each other a bit more (which we are lacking at the moment) to hear about how how different editors work - from a WikiGnome goes about his time, as to an anti-vandal type user, someone in a topic or thematic area, to a reviewer, etc. etc. Such pieces could be fairly short, and cover things such as what the editors do, how they work WP into their real lives, how they organise their time here, how they have dealt with adversity, how they build a community around them, etc. These could be both written by the editor and submitted, or in an interview format like the old WikiProject reports. I'd be happy to help out or play a role in this, too.
What do you think? In addition, plan to submit an article in a month or two about integration of WikiData in Anatomy articles, although this is not yet up to scratch.-- Tom (LT) ( talk) 01:42, 2 April 2018 (UTC)

Would you consider refactoring this comment slightly? In particular, the "that you intend to use it" bit is a bit odd given that the NPR right requires no such obligation. Saying "that you might use it" might be ok, but seriously, I just got finished telling the guy that the user right requires 'no obligation' to review at the new pages feed if they don't want to (in bold no less). The NPR standard invite also contains this language, so if you objected to it, perhaps you should have done so back when the discussion about the contents of the invite template was had (that particular template was also sent out to everyone in the newsletter at one point, recommending that other reviewers use it). — Insertcleverphrasehere ( or here) 14:05, 11 April 2018 (UTC)
AfC reviewing is in and of itself a reason to request the NPR rightisn't right. Good history at AfC may be proof that someone knows what is required, but it's not the same thing: they should want to do NPP work, otherwise it's just a dusty hat. The community specifically chose to restrict the ability to patrol new pages, it should not be given out to further some other means. ~ Amory ( u • t • c) 14:44, 11 April 2018 (UTC)
( edit conflict) I am being practical. I created the NPR right - remember? And I also introdued the semi-official criteria for getting on the AfC reviewer list. And after 7 years of toil and meetings in RL with the people who matter, and with Tony's enormous help and encouragement in the latter stages, I finally got ACTRIAL through. I am most certainly an advocate of raising AfC standards to those of NPP, and have absolutely no intention of backtracking on my challenege to achieve that - I'm not going to risk strewing logs across my own road, but the users need to meet those standards. It's not done by handing out user rights like candy to kids in a schoolyard. I don't disaprove of these good initiatives for a moment - indeed I encourage them, but they need to be more carefully crafted and discussed as a team before they are put into action. I'll be processing any PERM requests I come across on my watch and applying the same criteria I have always used. Not everything needs a full blown RfC, but more aforethought as a group. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง ( talk) 14:51, 11 April 2018 (UTC)
The entire issue is that you needed to be very much more selective in the criteria you used for your list. xaosflux and I worked together for hours to get the grandfathering list made for NPR and even then in hindsight there were some backfires - not too many though, but the proof is that some of them never used it but got uppity when we realised our errors and took the right away again. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง ( talk) 15:08, 11 April 2018 (UTC)
I'd like to see the NPR flag as a requirement for AfC work. If someone does not qualify for NPR they have no business sending pages to mainspace with the AfC endorsement. None of the AfC invitees are hat collectors because if they were worried about the hat they would have applied for it already. Legacypac ( talk) 15:45, 11 April 2018 (UTC)

I was following the
discussion over Meta and was surprised to hear your comment that:--The very reason we did not avail of that wishlist in 2017 was that at one stage you clearly told us that what we require is not within the remit of your department!
.That seems to be seriously callous on Danny's part, given that every-time of late, any of our volunteers has raised any query as to the development of the NPP-suite, he has been steadily pointing to the next XMas Wishlist.(See the
last thread at Danny's t/p for an example!)

Hi Kudpung, wanted to run something by you. I had a WP:RFPI request ( The Swiss Commission for UNESCO) for transwiki of this page to the "right" language (English). Once I got it over, I realized that I really didn't like the looks of this article, but it looks like imported pages are exempt from "new page" processing - and I don't think that is in itself a bad thing; however it meant we now had an article that needed a lot of work. I poured a pile of clean up tags and a prod on it. Outside of just refusing the import (which on reconsideration I think I would have put it in Draftsapce), do you have any other suggestions for what the next best step would be? <humor>Please don't tell me I better get to researching and sourcing it!</humor> Thanks for your time, — xaosflux Talk 01:47, 14 April 2018 (UTC)
As per current practice, if the non-English page is not translated within two weeks, it will be listed for deletion at MfD.Hard time limits are likely to get opposition, and "will be" is very strong. I suggest weakening that part to "not edited within two weeks" as opposed to being complete within 2 weeks, and "may be listed" instead of "will be". — xaosflux Talk 13:50, 14 April 2018 (UTC)
Hi Kudpung, came across this article; Financial Training Center Limited, would you say it qualifies for deletion or a stub tag added? Article says it's a training institution but it is using Infobox school for its infobox, not sure if this is the right one to use? Please let me know, thanks Steven (Editor) ( talk) 00:22, 15 April 2018 (UTC)
This is surely an autobiography. This actress is desperately trying to get herself on Wiki. One editor tagged it for CSD but it got declined as there seems to be no CSD criteria for this. There is also Draft:Elnaaz Norouzi which is written by someone else. My judgement says we should keep the draft for AfC and delete this COI article she created herself. What would you suggest in this case? Dial911 ( talk) 06:03, 15 April 2018 (UTC)

Hey Kudpung, I noticed that you blanked User:Skylightgirl/sandbox, as the result of an MfD I started.

Proposed for title or blurb: "New major editing policy starting immediately: creation of articles in mainspace is to be limited to users with confirmed accounts".

@ Kudpung: I noticed from your userpage that you occasionally translate wikipedia pages. The article in the english wikipedia Uvariopsis korupensis is essentially a translation from the french article. In my wanderings in Wikipedia, I once noticed a thing at the top of the page attributing the article as a translation, but was not been able to find it. I was hoping you might be able to tell me what to put. (I envisage that the odd translated article might diverge after its birth as a translation. Is there something appropriate to indicate this??)

I'll be processing any PERM requests I come across on my watch and applying the same criteria I have always used. Not everything needs a full blown RfC, but more aforethought as a group. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง ( talk) 14:51, 11 April 2018 (UTC)
The entire issue is that you needed to be very much more selective in the criteria you used for your list. xaosflux and I worked together for hours to get the grandfathering list made for NPR and even then in hindsight there were some backfires - not too many though, but the proof is that some of them never used it but got uppity when we realised our errors and took the right away again. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง ( talk) 15:08, 11 April 2018 (UTC)
I'd like to see the NPR flag as a requirement for AfC work. If someone does not qualify for NPR they have no business sending pages to mainspace with the AfC endorsement. None of the AfC invitees are hat collectors because if they were worried about the hat they would have applied for it already. Legacypac ( talk) 15:45, 11 April 2018 (UTC)
Thank you, Kudpung, for the assistance on my talk page--could've lived with it but happy not to have to. Thank you, I appreciate your looking out. Innisfree987 ( talk) 16:54, 11 April 2018 (UTC)
I was following the
discussion over Meta and was surprised to hear your comment that:--The very reason we did not avail of that wishlist in 2017 was that at one stage you clearly told us that what we require is not within the remit of your department!
.That seems to be seriously callous on Danny's part, given that every-time of late, any of our volunteers has raised any query as to the development of the NPP-suite, he has been steadily pointing to the next XMas Wishlist.(See the
last thread at Danny's t/p for an example!)
At any case, I trawled the intersections of you and Danny but failed to dig the diff out. I would be genuinely interested to read the accompanying conversation and the context of the comment:)

I thought about pinging you, for your thoughts. Instead, I will directly ask you to share some insight regarding my last edit. Here or there makes little difference to me, but knowing if you think I'm spot on or a mile off does. Thank you.-- John Cline ( talk) 08:58, 13 April 2018 (UTC)
Hi Kudpung, wanted to run something by you. I had a WP:RFPI request ( The Swiss Commission for UNESCO) for transwiki of this page to the "right" language (English). Once I got it over, I realized that I really didn't like the looks of this article, but it looks like imported pages are exempt from "new page" processing - and I don't think that is in itself a bad thing; however it meant we now had an article that needed a lot of work. I poured a pile of clean up tags and a prod on it. Outside of just refusing the import (which on reconsideration I think I would have put it in Draftsapce), do you have any other suggestions for what the next best step would be? <humor>Please don't tell me I better get to researching and sourcing it!</humor> Thanks for your time, — xaosflux Talk 01:47, 14 April 2018 (UTC)
As per current practice, if the non-English page is not translated within two weeks, it will be listed for deletion at MfD.Hard time limits are likely to get opposition, and "will be" is very strong. I suggest weakening that part to "not edited within two weeks" as opposed to being complete within 2 weeks, and "may be listed" instead of "will be". — xaosflux Talk 13:50, 14 April 2018 (UTC)
Hi Kudpung, came across this article; Financial Training Center Limited, would you say it qualifies for deletion or a stub tag added? Article says it's a training institution but it is using Infobox school for its infobox, not sure if this is the right one to use? Please let me know, thanks Steven (Editor) ( talk) 00:22, 15 April 2018 (UTC)
This is surely an autobiography. This actress is desperately trying to get herself on Wiki. One editor tagged it for CSD but it got declined as there seems to be no CSD criteria for this. There is also Draft:Elnaaz Norouzi which is written by someone else. My judgement says we should keep the draft for AfC and delete this COI article she created herself. What would you suggest in this case? Dial911 ( talk) 06:03, 15 April 2018 (UTC)
Hi Kudpung,
Could I just ask what the promotional language I used for future reference - hopefully to improve the quality of any further contributions I make!

Hey Kudpung, I noticed that you blanked User:Skylightgirl/sandbox, as the result of an MfD I started. Although I could have just nominated as G1 and been done with it, I don't know why you blanked it, as we've established that the author is a vandal. Why not just delete it? Jjjjjjdddddd ( talk) 02:58, 16 April 2018 (UTC)
Hi Kudpung. It appears that that this has been recreated as Bill C. Cobbs. Either NativeMichigander was not aware of the MfD discussion and the subsequent redirect or is NativeSonofMichigan (see User:NativeSonofMichigan/sandbox and User:NativeMichigander/sandbox) and is trying to circumvent the MfD consensus. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 07:29, 16 April 2018 (UTC)

Proposed for title or blurb: "New major editing policy starting immediately: creation of articles in mainspace is to be limited to users with confirmed accounts". Punchier, and actually says something about the policy change. Do you think it's helpful, especially for those who may not know the acronym ACTRIAL? ☆ Bri ( talk) 15:10, 20 April 2018 (UTC)
That's nuts. They have known about this for a long time. We should implement immediately via edit filter. Legacypac ( talk) 09:21, 25 April 2018 (UTC)
I was just thinking, this might be our chance to test the publication tools on a compact mini-issue of the Signpost. Maybe your update on ACTRIAL and my update on The Signpost? They are both ready to go. Or some other combination of ready content. You tell me. ☆ Bri ( talk) 17:34, 20 April 2018 (UTC)

Save it in a blank page and the outline will be created for you. Start editing at "full-width content".Just one question before I get to work: do you want to try to cram any of the late breaking items into In the media? ☆ Bri ( talk) 00:46, 26 April 2018 (UTC)

@ Kudpung: I noticed from your userpage that you occasionally translate wikipedia pages. The article in the english wikipedia Uvariopsis korupensis is essentially a translation from the french article. In my wanderings in Wikipedia, I once noticed a thing at the top of the page attributing the article as a translation, but was not been able to find it. I was hoping you might be able to tell me what to put. (I envisage that the odd translated article might diverge after its birth as a translation. Is there something appropriate to indicate this??)

Wait for the articles created by me to have links. Have some patience, If not no one can help. Thanks once again for being rude by issuing me warning. So that some day I stop coming to the website for my Contribution. Thanks for making me realize that Good things done for free aren't appreciated.

@ Mansukhsurin: ( talk page watcher) Hello, if you are referring to an article, then surely you know from where you got the information. Surely you can attribute these sources with template:cite? Good things done for free are appreciated-- we are all working to build the world's largest free content encyclopedia-- for free. Sorry you are having a hard time adjusting to a collaborative environment and find it too onerous to cite your sources. Don't know why you are calling Kudpung rude. -- Dlohcierekim ( talk) 08:35, 24 April 2018 (UTC)
Hi. Thanks for your work on The Signpost! I found a broken link. Under Notability guideline substantially rewritten, "this request for comment" is linked to this page at IETF.org with a 404 error. I think it should probably go to Wikipedia_talk:Notability_(organizations_and_companies)#RfC:_Adoption_of_the_re-written_NCORP_guideline instead.
