Hey there McDoob (love that name, by the way). I recently added an external link to the Mission: SPACE page linking to a website that gives unbiased (from what I see) ride ratings. When you removed it I read the page on external links and what they can be and what they should not be, and I think the link to that site was credible and made sense to list. I'd like to know why you considered that site to be bad for the external links and removed it. While I'm not a "new user" here I don't contribute too much so I still am inexperienced. Thanks for clarifying. Tcwmatt ( talk) 18:51, 31 December 2011 (UTC)

(Timeline Edit) I would like to add information and a picture of the "Flying Rifles" drill team that performed throughout the park during its opening year, 1967. The "Flying Rifles" were an all African American ROTC high school drill team that was better known as the "Raiders" of West Fulton High School (under the directorship of SFC Harold Jordan (U.S. Army) and High School Drill Team leader James (Spunk) Gales. The Raiders won 1st Place in overall high school drill team competition at Fort Gordon in August, Georgia in 1967. As a former member of the "Raiders" and "Flying Rifles," I thought that it would also be significant to add that while taking part of the "Flying Rifles" drill team (representing Six Flags Over Georgia), we were awarded the 1st Place trophy as the best marching unit by the officials of the July 4 1967, WSB's Salute to America Parade. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jbee2613 ( talk • contribs) 13:20, 7 January 2012 (UTC) Jbee2613 ( talk) 13:23, 7 January 2012 (UTC)Jbee2613

Oh my gosh! Have you seen Accused At 17(film)? Why can't you answer my questions? If you saw Accused At 17, then you just have to give me your opinion.( 108.94.9.153 ( talk) 05:22, 22 January 2012 (UTC)).
Thanks for the assist, both of you. I had a feeling we were dealing with a troll after I saw the post of two nearly-identical questions right afterwards. So you can indeed get blocked for disrupting the Reference Desk. That is good to know, as there is also an anon IP who keeps asking the same question about Japanese-market video games ("Game X is rated Y by Japan, so can kids play it?" or "Game Z has Kanji characters, so can little kids read it?") and has done so from multiple IPs, despite requests to stop and reminders that their question has been answered previously. If this anon pops up again, I'll let you both know. Thanks again. -- McDoob AU 93 16:18, 22 January 2012 (UTC)

For example, on Entertainment Reference Desk, is it ok for me to ask, In Law & Order SVU Season 11 Episode Turmoil, did Shane's father kill Shane on Purpose?( JimSullivan123 ( talk) 02:31, 4 February 2012 (UTC)).
My opinion's that Shane's father killed Shane on purpose. I don't mind if someone else has different opinions. Why can't I still ask if Shane's father killed Shane on purpose? Instead, is it ok for me to ask, "Does anyone believe that Shane's father killed Shane on purpose?"( JimSullivan123 ( talk) 05:52, 4 February 2012 (UTC)).

Okay, I sent Atari a complaint. I will have to see when I get a reply from them. Don't forget about this: HELP TO GET ALL THE HUMONGOUS ENTERTAINMENT GAMES BACK ON TRACK!!!
I have waited for HOURS for a reply from Atari and they weren't paying attention to me. The message says this: "Thank you for contacting us. This is an automated response confirming the receipt of your ticket. One of our agents will get back to you as soon as possible. For your records, the details of the ticket are listed below. When replying, please make sure that the ticket ID is kept in the subject line to ensure that your replies are tracked appropriately.
Ticket ID: QDL-685-88717 Subject: Humongous Entertainment PC Games No Longer Available Department: Community Forums Type: Question Status: Open
Kind regards, Atari."
So, I can't get a faster answer from them. What I am continuing to ask is that I wanted to know what happened to all of those PC games. Now, I came to back to what your haven't answered: "How come Atari would take those games away, even when they're trying to force us to use that crappy iOS stuff?" It's like hell. Please tell me NOW (and immediately); I've got nothing.

My edits keep being reverted on Britain's Got Talent by what I believe is the same person by using different accounts. I've made a discussion and they've continued to revert my changes with no feasible reason. One of the accounts agreed with me, so I changed it, but now they're reverting it still. http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Britain%27s_Got_Talent&action=history JackJackUK ( talk) 23:05, 30 November 2011 (UTC)

Yup, ok, I'm up for that. And can you also do something about TVFAN24, he is doing my head in. He's reverted the changes once again on American Idol and America's Got Talent to a completely different format, and didn't even bother to discuss it. Hzh and I were reaching an agreement and he's just ignored it. Cheers and once again apologies. JackJackUK ( talk) 18:04, 1 December 2011 (UTC)

Hey McDoob,
Thanks for all the support and advice you've given me since I joined Wikipedia in 2011, but I'll be leaving the website as an editor now. I cause too many arguments, confrontations and upset too many people, and I'm not finding the experience enjoyable anymore. I'd like to once again thank you for all your help and assistance, and all the best for the future. JackJackUK ( talk) 20:17, 22 February 2012 (UTC)
Hi McDoob, thanks again! I take it that the song was used more to set the mood of the ad than as a description of it, unless I'm missing something. Graham 87 05:10, 23 February 2012 (UTC)
Hi McDoobAU! A few updates for you about Wikipedia:Teahouse, since you're one of our awesome Teahouse hosts!:
Very exciting things are taking place, and we'll be opening the Teahouse no later than Monday. Feel free to ping me on or off wiki, and I can't wait to work with you to welcome new editors with a warm cup of tea :) SarahStierch ( talk) 03:36, 24 February 2012 (UTC)

Hey guys!
I'm dropping you a note because you filled out the New Page Patrol survey, and indicated you'd be interested in being contacted about follow-up work. This is to notify you that we've finally released both the initial documentation about the project and also the engagement strategy, which sets out how we plan to work with the community on this. Please give both a read, and leave any comments or suggestions you have on the talkpage, on my talkpage, or in my inbox - okeyeswikimedia.org.
It's awesome to finally get to start work on this! :). Okeyes (WMF) ( talk) 02:27, 3 March 2012 (UTC)

McDoobAU93, as a uninvolved editor, could you please "close" the discussion or "declare consensus" or whatever? User:Jetstreamer is "requiring" this at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Airports#Proposed modification to WP:AVIMOS and WP:AIRPORT-CONTENT and is threatening reverts at Talk:Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International Airport#Wikilinked Destinations.

Hey guys!
Thanks to all of you who have commented on the New Page Triage talkpage. If you haven't had a chance yet, check it out; we're discussing some pretty interesting ideas, both from the Foundation and the community, and moving towards implementing quite a few of them :).
In addition, on Tuesday 13th March, we're holding an office hours session in #wikimedia-office on IRC at 19:00 UTC (11am Pacific time). If you can make it, please do; we'll have a lot of stuff to show you and talk about, including (hopefully) a timetable of when we're planning to do what. If you can't come, for whatever reason, let me know on my talkpage and I'm happy to send you the logs so you can get an idea of what happened :).

Hey all!
Thanks to everyone who attended our first office hours session; the logs can be found here, if you missed it, and we should be holding a second one on Thursday, 22 March 2012 at 18:00 UTC in #wikimedia-office. I hope to see you all there :).
In the meantime, I have greatly expanded the details available at Wikipedia:New Page Triage: there's a lot more info about precisely what we're planning. If you have ideas, and they aren't listed there, bring them up and I'll pass them on to the developers for consideration in the second sprint. And if you know anyone who might be interested in contributing, send them there too!

Hi McDoob! Great work on the Teahouse :) I did notice you forgot to let a few people know you replied to their questions. When you are finished answering a question on the Teahouse page, it'd be awesome if you'd leave a Teahouse Talkback on the editors page. Any concerns or issues, let me know :) Thanks!

Undid your revert. I've already found the sources to back up my additions. I just felt lazy adding refs because I know somebody would do so anyway. And even if I don't, somebody else would reinstate my edits anyway. - 上村七美 (Nanami-chan) | talkback | contribs 18:07, 20 March 2012 (UTC)
Hey guys.
I appreciate this isn't quite what you signed up for, but I figured as people who are already pretty good at evaluating whether material is useful or not useful through Special:NewPages, you might be interested :). Over the last few months we've been developing the new Article Feedback Tool, which features a free text box. it is imperative that we work out in advance what proportion of feedback is useful or not so we can adjust the design accordingly and not overwhelm you with nonsense.
This is being done through the Feedback Evaluation System (FES), a tool that lets editors run through a stream of comments, selecting their value and viability, so we know what type of design should be promoted or avoided. We're about to start a new round of evaluations, beginning with an office hours session tomorrow at 18:00 UTC. If you'd like to help preemptively kill poor feedback, come along to #wikimedia-office and we'll show you how to use the tool. If you can't make it, send me an email at okeyeswikimedia.org or drop a note on my talkpage, and I'm happy to give you a quick walkthrough in a one-on-one session :).
All the best, Okeyes (WMF) ( talk) 21:37, 20 March 2012 (UTC)

Hey! Big update on what the developers have been working on, and what is coming up:
coding
All other elements are either undergoing research, or about to have development started. I appreciate this sounds like we've not got through much work, and truthfully we're a bit disappointed with it as well; we thought we'd be going at a faster pace :(. Unfortunately there seems to be some 24-72 hour bug sweeping the San Francisco office at the moment, and at one time or another we've had several devs out of it. It's kind of messed with workflow.
Stuff to look at
We've got a pair of new mockups to comment on that deal with the filtering mechanism; this is a slightly updated mockup of the list view, and this is what the filtering tab is going to look like. All thoughts, comments and suggestions welcome on the NPT talkpage :). I'd also like to thank the people who came to our last two office hours sessions; the logs will be shortly available here.
I've also just heard that the first functional prototype for enwiki will be deployed mid-April! Really, really stoked to see this happening :). We're finding out if we can stick something up a bit sooner on prototype.wiki or something.
I appreciate there may be questions or suggestions where I've said "I'll find out and get back to you" and then, uh. not ;p. I sincerely apologise for that: things have been a bit hectic at this end over the last few weeks. But if you've got anything I've missed, drop me a line and I'll deal with it! Further questions or issues to the usual address. Thanks, Okeyes (WMF) ( talk) 17:09, 3 April 2012 (UTC)

Another Jonathon Yip sock just popped up today. See Jeff Gorvette contributions. All the same type of edits as before. So pardon me if I seem a bit short with these socks and revert on site. What changes the socks are making is irrelevant. A blocked account should not be creating sock puppets to edit. Thats how these accounts have been editing. They start with meaningless maintenance type edits then they begin with the dirty stuff again. Like I said, this has been going on for over a week now. -- JOJ Hutton 03:39, 6 April 2012 (UTC)

Nigel Gearsley ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) just started editing the "Target" pages today. I also thought it interesting that the new sock puppet made this statement on the talk page, saying : I don't even know who Jonathan Yip is. That statement caught my eye when I read it because the "account" User:GeorgeKelsey, whom I was saying just last week was also a sock puppet of Jonathon Yip, said the same exact thing last week. It may be just a coincidence that both accounts used the same exact words in the same exact order. Maybe its a common expression, but it just continues to add to the doubts. -- JOJ Hutton 23:06, 14 April 2012 (UTC)
Hi, about that there isn't really a source I can find right now but come on, just that I can't find a special source that says that the Amiga is a popular games machine doesn't mean that it never was, right ? there are loads of dedicated Amiga games magazines and alot of them are even exclusive to one country (excuse my poor english, but that means that it was profitable!

I got a response back from the author; he said the reasons he chose my particular quote were that (a) "I believe each one clearly and thoughtfully puts forward the case" for their choice and (b) "you are the only one with a Wikipedia profile". He was not singling anyone out, and the actual article, with regards to what people said, was reasonably balanced. So I'm adding it in a new section on my user page. -- McDoob AU 93 23:58, 3 May 2012 (UTC)

Hey McDoobAU93/Archive/2012 :). A quick update on how things are going with the New Page Triage/New Pages Feed project. As the enwiki page notes, the project is divided into two chunks: the "list view" (essentially an updated version of Special:NewPages) and the "article view", a view you'll be presented with when you open up individual articles that contains a toolbar with lots of options to interact with the page - patrolling it, adding maintenance tags, nominating it for deletion, so on.
On the list view front, we're pretty much done! We tried deploying it to enwiki, in line with our Engagement Strategy on Wednesday, but ran into bugs and had to reschedule - the same happened on Thursday :(. We've queued a new deployment for Monday PST, and hopefully that one will go better. If it does, the software will be ready to play around with and test by the following week! :).
On the article view front, the developers are doing some fantastic work designing the toolbar, which we're calling the "curation bar"; you can see a mockup here. A stripped-down version of this should be ready to deploy fairly soon after the list view is; I'm afraid I don't have precise dates yet. When I have more info, or can unleash everyone to test the list view, I'll let you know :). As always, any questions to the talkpage for the project or mine. Thanks!

Hey all :). A notification that the prototype for the New Pages Feed is now live on enwiki! We had to briefly take it down after an unfortunate bug started showing up, but it's now live and we will continue developing it on-site.
The page can be found at Special:NewPagesFeed. Please, please, please test it and tell us what you think! Note that as a prototype it will inevitably have bugs - if you find one not already mentioned at the talkpage, bring it up and I'm happy to carry it through to the devs. The same is true of any additions you can think of to the software, or any questions you might have - let me know and I'll respond.

I'm curious as to how you decide the criteria for "Proof of notability"? Drehf ( talk) 03:11, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
The comment about user generated content seems surprising to me. Are you suggesting that only content made by the studios (no matter how poor the product) is worthy of being included on Wikipedia? How about Indie films? or various shorts? It would seem that you are suggesting that the mere inclusion in Funny or Die makes it not worth for inclusion on Wikipedia? That seems somewhat arbitrary. 98.210.211.35 ( talk) 05:39, 28 June 2012 (UTC)

Hello McDoobAU93, I got your message about AerialVideoSystems not being an acceptable account name and the article I was working on editing being a conflict of interest. I completely understand. There is so much to learn! I have set up a new account.
I do work for AVS and we did create a helmet camera before the sited "first ever" in the helmet camera article. I have been working on editing the history section of the story in order to give us the due credit, however, not have it come across as a marketing campaign. I would like to take you up on your offer to look over my work. Can you see my sandbox or should I post the revised section here?
Also, I would love to link to a scan I made of the Motocross Action page with the photo of our system in use in 1986. I have it hosted on our website at https://www.aerialvideo.com/images/stories/wikipedia/motocross-action-helmet-1080.jpg. Is this do-able?
Thanks,
VideoJoe ( talk) 23:09, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
Hello McDoobAU93,
Again, thank you for being willing to look over the changes I propose to the Helmet camera article. This is my first posting and I'd like to make sure it's done right. If you have any suggestions, I'm all ears. Otherwise, I'll go ahead and make the edits. Thank you.

Hey all. Some quick but important updates on what we've been up to and what's coming up next :).
The curation toolbar, our Wikimedia-supported twinkle replacement. We're going to be deploying it, along with a pile of bugfixes, to wikipedia on 9 August. After a few days to check it doesn't make anything explode or die, we'll be sticking up a big notice and sending out an additional newsletter inviting people to test it out and give us feedback :). This will be followed by two office hours sessions - one on Tuesday the 14th of August at 19:00 UTC for all us Europeans, and one on Wednesday the 15th at 23:00 UTC for the East Coasters out there :). As always, these will be held in #wikimedia-office; drop me a note if you want to know how to easily get on IRC, or if you aren't able to attend but would like the logs.
I hope to see a lot of you there; it's going to be a big day for everyone involved, I think :). I'll have more notes after the deployment! Okeyes (WMF) ( talk) 20:00, 3 August 2012 (UTC)

Hey all :)
A couple of new things.
First, you'll note that all the project titles have now changed to the Page Curation prefix, rather than having the New Pages Feed prefix. This is because the overarching project name has changed to Page Curation; the feed is still known as New Pages Feed, and the Curation Toolbar is still the Curation Toolbar. Hopefully this will be the last namechange ;p.
On the subject of the Curation Toolbar (nice segue, Oliver!) - it's now deployed on Wikipedia. Just open up any article in the New Pages Feed and it should appear on the right. It's still a beta version - bugs are expected - and we've got a lot more work to do. But if you see something going wrong, or a feature missing, drop me a note or post on the project talkpage and I'll be happy to help :). We'll be holding two office hours sessions to discuss the tool and improvements to it; the first is at 19:00 UTC on 14 August, and the second at 23:00 on the 15th. Both will be in #wikimedia-office as always. Thanks! Okeyes (WMF) ( talk) 15:57, 10 August 2012 (UTC)
Wickedangry created the redlink again. This time I simply removed the photo. IMHO, the satellite image you get from the coordinates is much better (and is likely to stay more current). In general, I don't consider aerial photos useful anymore considering current satellite resolution. If you disagree with this, feel free to restore the image. I see that you warned Wickedangry about his previous edits. Wickedangry has been popping up a lot in dolphin, orca, and dolphinarium articles, and I have yet to see a single constructive edit. You warned him/her a few days ago. Should we be trying to get a block? If you look at the history for Ulisses you can see that all but one edit (flops -> droops in relation to the dorsal fin) has been reverted, and from the type of edits it seems likely that 72.134.54.239 and 74.221.188.175 are the same editor. Don Lammers ( talk) 13:11, 12 August 2012 (UTC)
I've broken up the subject name because I don't want it to be searched out. I've been watching this for a bit now because the user involved popped up in the areas of WP:VG. I've thought about opening a case at SPI but I'm not sure there's a case or not. The user has not specifically done any vandalism that I can see and on the surface gives the impression of being unfamiliar with Wikipedia. The case behind all this is so vast and convoluted though I wanted to ask someone else who has been involved to a degree in this case their thoughts.
The user appeared within about a month of the sockmaster's last unblock request and sock block. He edited some VG related and soccer related articles, claiming to be from the EU. He's used UK spellings in some talk page edits. The user is well aware of the master and claims to be a cousin, making edits to the master's page, his long term abuse page, and adding PMDrive to Missing Wikipedians. The user was briefly autoblocked for having the same IP as another vandal. The vandal claimed to hold grudges against other editors (So was not a drive by) and "Retired" their user page...
I don't want to leave a direct link as I feel this user is clearly searching out pages related to the sockmaster, but if you check his talk page you'll see who I mean. Am I being overly suspicious or...? -- ferret ( talk) 18:26, 30 July 2012 (UTC)
Been a bit but decided to check on this. Looks like he got banned as a sock puppet after all. He fell into that old habit of seeking a ban on himself apparently... -- ferret ( talk) 23:40, 20 August 2012 (UTC)
I don't know that this is Bambifan. A few months back I reported a different sock of Doughnuthead. This guy (Redbull) was ultimately blocked as a sock of that guy. Redbull originally drew my eyes towards him due to claiming to be Bambifan's cousin. Only in reading the aftermath do I see he was ultimately judged to be a different sockmaster. I don't know if he knew I reported the earlier Doughnuthead sock or not, I think he just happened to pop up in WP:VG both times. -- ferret ( talk) 00:28, 21 August 2012 (UTC)

Hi McDoobAU93. I'm leaving you this message because you have previously been involved as an adopter with Wikipedia's Adopt-a-user program. A clean-up of this program is currently underway, and as part of the process I am trying to find out who is and isn't still interested in remaining an adopter.
If you would prefer not to be part of the adoption program anymore, you need do nothing; when the overhaul of the project is completed your name will be removed from the list of active adopters. However, if you have current adoptees, an active adoption school or an interest in adopting in the near future, then please let us know by signing here.
If you want to remain in the project and can currently take on more adoptees, there is a serious backlog at Category:Wikipedians seeking to be adopted in Adopt-a-user; it would be enormously helpful if you could take on one or two of the users there. Please do keep an eye on the project for upcoming changes, we could use your opinions and your help! Yunshui 雲 水 09:11, 19 September 2012 (UTC)
Hey McDoobAU93/Archive. This will be, if not our final newsletter, one of the final ones :). After months of churning away at this project, our final version (apart from a few tweaks and bugfixes) is now live. Changes between this and the last release include deletion tag logging, a centralised log, and fixes to things like edit summaries.
Hopefully you like what we've done with the place; suggestions for future work on it, complaints and bugs to the usual address :). We'll be holding a couple of office hours sessions, which I hope you'll all attend. Many thanks, Okeyes (WMF) ( talk) 11:01, 24 September 2012 (UTC)

I am in LOVE with videogames of all kinds like- Resident Evil, Metal Gear Solid, Mario, Soul caliber , Call of Duty: Black Ops (especially Black Ops!), Skyrim, and many others. I am a videogame addict! I also LOVE amusement parks and rollercosters. I really want to be adopted by you so you can help me with this type of stuff. ALSO- I love videogames SOOOOOOOO MUCH that next week, I'm going to Comic-Con! It is going to be super awesome, and I think that we've established that I'm a videogame nerd! Please adopt me on Wiki. Thank you so very much for not being interested in politics! Most of the adopters were very boring! Thank you! Answer on MY talk page PLEASE, not yours. MINE! Thank you! DEIDRA C.

Hey, McDoobAU93. Please help contribute to my WikiProject. This WikiProject is about different cultures. If you can take some time and help contribute to it, that would be very nice of you. I am starting this project this week and would like to finish by next week. Please help me with this project. Thank you very much. Please answer on my talk page because I might not be able to keep track of who is contributing and who is not. I would like you to also share your culture. If you can give me a little summary about your culture such as, foods, lifestlye, holidays, traditions, e.t.c, that would be extremely helpful. Thank you. So if you would wish to contribute, please reply on MY talk page. Happy edits! Have a great day! DEIDRA C. ( talk) 18:45, 8 October 2012 (UTC)

Hey all :).
We're (very shortly) closing down this development cycle for Page Curation. It's genuinely been a pleasure to talk with you all and build software that is so close to my own heart, and also so effective. The current backlog is 9 days, and I've never seen it that low before.
However! Closing up shop does not mean not making any improvements. First-off, this is your last chance to give us a poke about unresolved bugs or report new ones on the talkpage. If something's going wrong, we want to know about it :). Second, we'll hopefully be taking another pass over the software next year. If you've got ideas for features Page Curation doesn't currently have, stick them here.
Again, it's been an honour. Thanks :). Okeyes (WMF) ( talk) 12:07, 17 October 2012 (UTC)

Re: your edit on
Manta ray article -
(Reverted good faith edits by 74.60.29.141 (talk): Well-meaning but inappropriate external link. (TW))
Please explain how that could be "inappropriate". It is a UK Registered Charity, Number: 1145387. It contains perhaps the most reliable and detailed information exclusively in regard to the article's subject. This '.org' is not a commercial site, and contains no ads. I can't find any other site which contains better information about the article's subject. This comes as close as possible for an "official" site for Manta rays. I have read
WP:EL, and don't see why this would be inappropriate. Not to mention there is a Wikipedia article for
Manta Trust. Did you check out this organization before deleting? ~Eric F

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.

Hey all :). We've just deployed another set of features for Page Curation. They include flyouts from the icons in Special:NewPagesFeed, showing who reviewed an article and when, a listing of this in the "info" flyout, and a general re-jigging of the info flyout - we've also fixed the weird bug with page_titles_having_underscores_instead_of_spaces in messages sent to talkpages, and introduced CSD logging! As always, these features will need some work - but any feedback would be most welcome.

Hey there McDoob (love that name, by the way). I recently added an external link to the Mission: SPACE page linking to a website that gives unbiased (from what I see) ride ratings. When you removed it I read the page on external links and what they can be and what they should not be, and I think the link to that site was credible and made sense to list. I'd like to know why you considered that site to be bad for the external links and removed it. While I'm not a "new user" here I don't contribute too much so I still am inexperienced.

(Timeline Edit) I would like to add information and a picture of the "Flying Rifles" drill team that performed throughout the park during its opening year, 1967. The "Flying Rifles" were an all African American ROTC high school drill team that was better known as the "Raiders" of West Fulton High School (under the directorship of SFC Harold Jordan (U.S. Army) and High School Drill Team leader James (Spunk) Gales. The Raiders won 1st Place in overall high school drill team competition at Fort Gordon in August, Georgia in 1967. As a former member of the "Raiders" and "Flying Rifles," I thought that it would also be significant to add that while taking part of the "Flying Rifles" drill team (representing Six Flags Over Georgia), we were awarded the 1st Place trophy as the best marching unit by the officials of the July 4 1967, WSB's Salute to America Parade. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jbee2613 ( talk • contribs) 13:20, 7 January 2012 (UTC) Jbee2613 ( talk) 13:23, 7 January 2012 (UTC)Jbee2613

Thanks for the assist, both of you. I had a feeling we were dealing with a troll after I saw the post of two nearly-identical questions right afterwards. So you can indeed get blocked for disrupting the Reference Desk. That is good to know, as there is also an anon IP who keeps asking the same question about Japanese-market video games ("Game X is rated Y by Japan, so can kids play it?" or "Game Z has Kanji characters, so can little kids read it?") and has done so from multiple IPs, despite requests to stop and reminders that their question has been answered previously.

Kind regards, Atari."
So, I can't get a faster answer from them. What I am continuing to ask is that I wanted to know what happened to all of those PC games. Now, I came to back to what your haven't answered: "How come Atari would take those games away, even when they're trying to force us to use that crappy iOS stuff?" It's like hell. Please tell me NOW (and immediately); I've got nothing.

My edits keep being reverted on Britain's Got Talent by what I believe is the same person by using different accounts. I've made a discussion and they've continued to revert my changes with no feasible reason. One of the accounts agreed with me, so I changed it, but now they're reverting it still. http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Britain%27s_Got_Talent&action=history JackJackUK ( talk) 23:05, 30 November 2011 (UTC)

Yup, ok, I'm up for that. And can you also do something about TVFAN24, he is doing my head in. He's reverted the changes once again on American Idol and America's Got Talent to a completely different format, and didn't even bother to discuss it. Hzh and I were reaching an agreement and he's just ignored it. Cheers and once again apologies. JackJackUK ( talk) 18:04, 1 December 2011 (UTC)

Hey McDoob,
Thanks for all the support and advice you've given me since I joined Wikipedia in 2011, but I'll be leaving the website as an editor now. I cause too many arguments, confrontations and upset too many people, and I'm not finding the experience enjoyable anymore. I'd like to once again thank you for all your help and assistance, and all the best for the future. JackJackUK ( talk) 20:17, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

Hey guys!
I'm dropping you a note because you filled out the New Page Patrol survey, and indicated you'd be interested in being contacted about follow-up work. This is to notify you that we've finally released both the initial documentation about the project and also the engagement strategy, which sets out how we plan to work with the community on this. Please give both a read, and leave any comments or suggestions you have on the talkpage, on my talkpage, or in my inbox - okeyeswikimedia.org.
It's awesome to finally get to start work on this! :). Okeyes (WMF) ( talk) 02:27, 3 March 2012 (UTC)

Hey guys!
Thanks to all of you who have commented on the New Page Triage talkpage. If you haven't had a chance yet, check it out; we're discussing some pretty interesting ideas, both from the Foundation and the community, and moving towards implementing quite a few of them :).
In addition, on Tuesday 13th March, we're holding an office hours session in #wikimedia-office on IRC at 19:00 UTC (11am Pacific time). If you can make it, please do; we'll have a lot of stuff to show you and talk about, including (hopefully) a timetable of when we're planning to do what. If you can't come, for whatever reason, let me know on my talkpage and I'm happy to send you the logs so you can get an idea of what happened :).

In the meantime, I have greatly expanded the details available at Wikipedia:New Page Triage: there's a lot more info about precisely what we're planning. If you have ideas, and they aren't listed there, bring them up and I'll pass them on to the developers for consideration in the second sprint.

Hey guys.
I appreciate this isn't quite what you signed up for, but I figured as people who are already pretty good at evaluating whether material is useful or not useful through Special:NewPages, you might be interested :). Over the last few months we've been developing the new Article Feedback Tool, which features a free text box. it is imperative that we work out in advance what proportion of feedback is useful or not so we can adjust the design accordingly and not overwhelm you with nonsense.
This is being done through the Feedback Evaluation System (FES), a tool that lets editors run through a stream of comments, selecting their value and viability, so we know what type of design should be promoted or avoided. We're about to start a new round of evaluations, beginning with an office hours session tomorrow at 18:00 UTC. If you'd like to help preemptively kill poor feedback, come along to #wikimedia-office and we'll show you how to use the tool. If you can't make it, send me an email at okeyeswikimedia.org or drop a note on my talkpage, and I'm happy to give you a quick walkthrough in a one-on-one session :).
All the best, Okeyes (WMF) ( talk) 21:37, 20 March 2012 (UTC)

Hey! Big update on what the developers have been working on, and what is coming up:
coding
All other elements are either undergoing research, or about to have development started. I appreciate this sounds like we've not got through much work, and truthfully we're a bit disappointed with it as well; we thought we'd be going at a faster pace :(. Unfortunately there seems to be some 24-72 hour bug sweeping the San Francisco office at the moment, and at one time or another we've had several devs out of it. It's kind of messed with workflow.
Stuff to look at
We've got a pair of new mockups to comment on that deal with the filtering mechanism; this is a slightly updated mockup of the list view, and this is what the filtering tab is going to look like. All thoughts, comments and suggestions welcome on the NPT talkpage :). I'd also like to thank the people who came to our last two office hours sessions; the logs will be shortly available here.
I've also just heard that the first functional prototype for enwiki will be deployed mid-April! Really, really stoked to see this happening :). We're finding out if we can stick something up a bit sooner on prototype.wiki or something.
I appreciate there may be questions or suggestions where I've said "I'll find out and get back to you" and then, uh. not ;p. I sincerely apologise for that: things have been a bit hectic at this end over the last few weeks. But if you've got anything I've missed, drop me a line and I'll deal with it! Further questions or issues to the usual address. Thanks, Okeyes (WMF) ( talk) 17:09, 3 April 2012 (UTC)

Another Jonathon Yip sock just popped up today. See Jeff Gorvette contributions. All the same type of edits as before. So pardon me if I seem a bit short with these socks and revert on site. What changes the socks are making is irrelevant. A blocked account should not be creating sock puppets to edit. Thats how these accounts have been editing. They start with meaningless maintenance type edits then they begin with the dirty stuff again. Like I said, this has been going on for over a week now. -- JOJ Hutton 03:39, 6 April 2012 (UTC)

Hey I see you have made many contributions to the article Angry Birds, good work. I think u are aware that Angry Birds Seasons article also has been created. Pls check it and clean up if u are able. Kailash29792 ( talk) 12:13, 10 April 2012 (UTC)
Nigel Gearsley ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) just started editing the "Target" pages today. I also thought it interesting that the new sock puppet made this statement on the talk page, saying : I don't even know who Jonathan Yip is. That statement caught my eye when I read it because the "account" User:GeorgeKelsey, whom I was saying just last week was also a sock puppet of Jonathon Yip, said the same exact thing last week. It may be just a coincidence that both accounts used the same exact words in the same exact order. Maybe its a common expression, but it just continues to add to the doubts. -- JOJ Hutton 23:06, 14 April 2012 (UTC)
Hi, about that there isn't really a source I can find right now but come on, just that I can't find a special source that says that the Amiga is a popular games machine doesn't mean that it never was, right ? there are loads of dedicated Amiga games magazines and alot of them are even exclusive to one country (excuse my poor english, but that means that it was profitable!

I got a response back from the author; he said the reasons he chose my particular quote were that (a) "I believe each one clearly and thoughtfully puts forward the case" for their choice and (b) "you are the only one with a Wikipedia profile". He was not singling anyone out, and the actual article, with regards to what people said, was reasonably balanced. So I'm adding it in a new section on my user page. -- McDoob AU 93 23:58, 3 May 2012 (UTC)

Hey McDoobAU93/Archive/2012 :). A quick update on how things are going with the New Page Triage/New Pages Feed project. As the enwiki page notes, the project is divided into two chunks: the "list view" (essentially an updated version of Special:NewPages) and the "article view", a view you'll be presented with when you open up individual articles that contains a toolbar with lots of options to interact with the page - patrolling it, adding maintenance tags, nominating it for deletion, so on.
On the list view front, we're pretty much done! We tried deploying it to enwiki, in line with our Engagement Strategy on Wednesday, but ran into bugs and had to reschedule - the same happened on Thursday :(. We've queued a new deployment for Monday PST, and hopefully that one will go better. If it does, the software will be ready to play around with and test by the following week! :).
On the article view front, the developers are doing some fantastic work designing the toolbar, which we're calling the "curation bar"; you can see a mockup here. A stripped-down version of this should be ready to deploy fairly soon after the list view is; I'm afraid I don't have precise dates yet. When I have more info, or can unleash everyone to test the list view, I'll let you know :). As always, any questions to the talkpage for the project or mine. Thanks!

Hey all :). A notification that the prototype for the New Pages Feed is now live on enwiki! We had to briefly take it down after an unfortunate bug started showing up, but it's now live and we will continue developing it on-site.
The page can be found at Special:NewPagesFeed. Please, please, please test it and tell us what you think! Note that as a prototype it will inevitably have bugs - if you find one not already mentioned at the talkpage, bring it up and I'm happy to carry it through to the devs. The same is true of any additions you can think of to the software, or any questions you might have - let me know and I'll respond.

The comment about user generated content seems surprising to me. Are you suggesting that only content made by the studios (no matter how poor the product) is worthy of being included on Wikipedia?

Hello McDoobAU93, I got your message about AerialVideoSystems not being an acceptable account name and the article I was working on editing being a conflict of interest. I completely understand. There is so much to learn! I have set up a new account.
I do work for AVS and we did create a helmet camera before the sited "first ever" in the helmet camera article. I have been working on editing the history section of the story in order to give us the due credit, however, not have it come across as a marketing campaign. I would like to take you up on your offer to look over my work. Can you see my sandbox or should I post the revised section here?
Also, I would love to link to a scan I made of the Motocross Action page with the photo of our system in use in 1986. I have it hosted on our website at https://www.aerialvideo.com/images/stories/wikipedia/motocross-action-helmet-1080.jpg. Is this do-able?

Hey all. Some quick but important updates on what we've been up to and what's coming up next :).
The curation toolbar, our Wikimedia-supported twinkle replacement. We're going to be deploying it, along with a pile of bugfixes, to wikipedia on 9 August. After a few days to check it doesn't make anything explode or die, we'll be sticking up a big notice and sending out an additional newsletter inviting people to test it out and give us feedback :). This will be followed by two office hours sessions - one on Tuesday the 14th of August at 19:00 UTC for all us Europeans, and one on Wednesday the 15th at 23:00 UTC for the East Coasters out there :). As always, these will be held in #wikimedia-office; drop me a note if you want to know how to easily get on IRC, or if you aren't able to attend but would like the logs.
I hope to see a lot of you there; it's going to be a big day for everyone involved, I think :). I'll have more notes after the deployment! Okeyes (WMF) ( talk) 20:00, 3 August 2012 (UTC)

Hey all :)
A couple of new things.
First, you'll note that all the project titles have now changed to the Page Curation prefix, rather than having the New Pages Feed prefix. This is because the overarching project name has changed to Page Curation; the feed is still known as New Pages Feed, and the Curation Toolbar is still the Curation Toolbar. Hopefully this will be the last namechange ;p.
On the subject of the Curation Toolbar (nice segue, Oliver!) - it's now deployed on Wikipedia. Just open up any article in the New Pages Feed and it should appear on the right. It's still a beta version - bugs are expected - and we've got a lot more work to do. But if you see something going wrong, or a feature missing, drop me a note or post on the project talkpage and I'll be happy to help :). We'll be holding two office hours sessions to discuss the tool and improvements to it; the first is at 19:00 UTC on 14 August, and the second at 23:00 on the 15th. Both will be in #wikimedia-office as always. Thanks! Okeyes (WMF) ( talk) 15:57, 10 August 2012 (UTC)
Wickedangry created the redlink again. This time I simply removed the photo. IMHO, the satellite image you get from the coordinates is much better (and is likely to stay more current). In general, I don't consider aerial photos useful anymore considering current satellite resolution. If you disagree with this, feel free to restore the image. I see that you warned Wickedangry about his previous edits. Wickedangry has been popping up a lot in dolphin, orca, and dolphinarium articles, and I have yet to see a single constructive edit. You warned him/her a few days ago. Should we be trying to get a block? If you look at the history for Ulisses you can see that all but one edit (flops -> droops in relation to the dorsal fin) has been reverted, and from the type of edits it seems likely that 72.134.54.239 and 74.221.188.175 are the same editor.

I've broken up the subject name because I don't want it to be searched out. I've been watching this for a bit now because the user involved popped up in the areas of WP:VG. I've thought about opening a case at SPI but I'm not sure there's a case or not. The user has not specifically done any vandalism that I can see and on the surface gives the impression of being unfamiliar with Wikipedia. The case behind all this is so vast and convoluted though I wanted to ask someone else who has been involved to a degree in this case their thoughts.
The user appeared within about a month of the sockmaster's last unblock request and sock block. He edited some VG related and soccer related articles, claiming to be from the EU. He's used UK spellings in some talk page edits. The user is well aware of the master and claims to be a cousin, making edits to the master's page, his long term abuse page, and adding PMDrive to Missing Wikipedians. The user was briefly autoblocked for having the same IP as another vandal. The vandal claimed to hold grudges against other editors (So was not a drive by) and "Retired" their user page...
I don't want to leave a direct link as I feel this user is clearly searching out pages related to the sockmaster, but if you check his talk page you'll see who I mean. Am I being overly suspicious or...? -- ferret ( talk) 18:26, 30 July 2012 (UTC)
Been a bit but decided to check on this. Looks like he got banned as a sock puppet after all. He fell into that old habit of seeking a ban on himself apparently... -- ferret ( talk) 23:40, 20 August 2012 (UTC)
I don't know that this is Bambifan. A few months back I reported a different sock of Doughnuthead. This guy (Redbull) was ultimately blocked as a sock of that guy. Redbull originally drew my eyes towards him due to claiming to be Bambifan's cousin. Only in reading the aftermath do I see he was ultimately judged to be a different sockmaster. I don't know if he knew I reported the earlier Doughnuthead sock or not, I think he just happened to pop up in WP:VG both times. -- ferret ( talk) 00:28, 21 August 2012 (UTC)
please stop undoing my edits as you did to list of captive orcas. they were sourced now please leave them alone Wickedangry ( talk) 16:09, 20 August 2012 (UTC)

Hi McDoob! Thanks for being a host at the Teahouse! We're working on the Host lounge renovations and we've created a new way for hosts to become hosts. Please take a few minutes and test it out here, by creating your new host profile. It's also a good excuse to update your image, quote, and information about yourself :) You can join in on the host discussion about the new feature here. See you at the Teahouse!

Hi! Welcome to the sixth edition of The Tea Leaf, the official newsletter of the Teahouse!
As always, thanks for supporting the Teahouse project! Stop by and visit us today!

Hi McDoobAU93. I'm leaving you this message because you have previously been involved as an adopter with Wikipedia's Adopt-a-user program. A clean-up of this program is currently underway, and as part of the process I am trying to find out who is and isn't still interested in remaining an adopter.
If you would prefer not to be part of the adoption program anymore, you need do nothing; when the overhaul of the project is completed your name will be removed from the list of active adopters. However, if you have current adoptees, an active adoption school or an interest in adopting in the near future, then please let us know by signing here.
If you want to remain in the project and can currently take on more adoptees, there is a serious backlog at Category:Wikipedians seeking to be adopted in Adopt-a-user; it would be enormously helpful if you could take on one or two of the users there. Please do keep an eye on the project for upcoming changes, we could use your opinions and your help! Yunshui 雲 水 09:11, 19 September 2012 (UTC)
Hey McDoobAU93/Archive. This will be, if not our final newsletter, one of the final ones :). After months of churning away at this project, our final version (apart from a few tweaks and bugfixes) is now live. Changes between this and the last release include deletion tag logging, a centralised log, and fixes to things like edit summaries.
Hopefully you like what we've done with the place; suggestions for future work on it, complaints and bugs to the usual address :). We'll be holding a couple of office hours sessions, which I hope you'll all attend. Many thanks, Okeyes (WMF) ( talk) 11:01, 24 September 2012 (UTC)
wow. those were just small edits. all i did was change it to the most recent measurements. and you took it very seriously. also if weather an animal gets along with another animal is not encyclapedic, why did you leave it up there all this time on the main article ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wickedangry ( talk • contribs) 00:38, 2 October 2012 (UTC)
Today is your lucky day! I want to be adopted by you on Wikipedia! You were ABSOLUTELY one of a kind on the Adoptees Page. I am in LOVE with videogames of all kinds like- Resident Evil, Metal Gear Solid, Mario, Soul caliber , Call of Duty: Black Ops (especially Black Ops!), Skyrim, and many others. I am a videogame addict! I also LOVE amusement parks and rollercosters. I really want to be adopted by you so you can help me with this type of stuff. ALSO- I love videogames SOOOOOOOO MUCH that next week, I'm going to Comic-Con! It is going to be super awesome, and I think that we've established that I'm a videogame nerd! Please adopt me on Wiki. Thank you so very much for not being interested in politics! Most of the adopters were very boring! Thank you! Answer on MY talk page PLEASE, not yours. MINE! Thank you! DEIDRA C.

Hey, McDoobAU93. Please help contribute to my WikiProject. This WikiProject is about different cultures. If you can take some time and help contribute to it, that would be very nice of you. I am starting this project this week and would like to finish by next week. Please help me with this project. Thank you very much. Please answer on my talk page because I might not be able to keep track of who is contributing and who is not. I would like you to also share your culture. If you can give me a little summary about your culture such as, foods, lifestlye, holidays, traditions, e.t.c, that would be extremely helpful. Thank you. So if you would wish to contribute, please reply on MY talk page. Happy edits! Have a great day! DEIDRA C. ( talk) 18:45, 8 October 2012 (UTC)

Hey all :).
We're (very shortly) closing down this development cycle for Page Curation. It's genuinely been a pleasure to talk with you all and build software that is so close to my own heart, and also so effective. The current backlog is 9 days, and I've never seen it that low before.
However! Closing up shop does not mean not making any improvements. First-off, this is your last chance to give us a poke about unresolved bugs or report new ones on the talkpage. If something's going wrong, we want to know about it :). Second, we'll hopefully be taking another pass over the software next year. If you've got ideas for features Page Curation doesn't currently have, stick them here.
Again, it's been an honour. Thanks :). Okeyes (WMF) ( talk) 12:07, 17 October 2012 (UTC)

The Disney Wiki mentioned the plot of the "Fix-It Felix Jr." game featured in Wreck-It Ralph mentioned the plot and setting of "Fix-It Felix Jr." if that is what you are talking about. Also, the cast list was modified with the character info that the Disney Wiki had mentioned. Rtkat3 ( talk) 7:17, October 19 2012 (UTC)
Hi McDoobAU93. I am contacting you because you are listed as one of members of WikiProject Amusement Parks or one of its task forces. I have just started a discussion on the project's talk page regarding the future of the project. I have made four proposals and I would appreciate your comments on them. Thank you Themeparkgc Talk 23:21, 31 October 2012 (UTC)
Dear McDoobAU93, have you watched Wreck it Ralph. I haven't watched it, but I heard it will be awesome. So, did you watch it? 69.112.114.132 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.112.114.132 ( talk) 20:20, 4 November 2012 (UTC)
Re: your edit on
Manta ray article -
(Reverted good faith edits by 74.60.29.141 (talk): Well-meaning but inappropriate external link. (TW))
Please explain how that could be "inappropriate". It is a UK Registered Charity, Number: 1145387. It contains perhaps the most reliable and detailed information exclusively in regard to the article's subject. This '.org' is not a commercial site, and contains no ads. I can't find any other site which contains better information about the article's subject. This comes as close as possible for an "official" site for Manta rays. I have read
WP:EL, and don't see why this would be inappropriate. Not to mention there is a Wikipedia article for
Manta Trust. Did you check out this organization before deleting? ~Eric F

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) 11:08, 10 November 2012 (UTC)

Excellent edits at Wreck-It Ralph! I'm a professional writer and I have to say, your version of that paragraph is better! -- Tenebrae ( talk) 23:54, 26 November 2012 (UTC)
I've posted a new summary that is better and even shorter than the previous one! This is unfair! Kurzon ( talk) 21:03, 2 December 2012 (UTC)
Hello, McDoobAU93. That anonymous user keeps changing the European 3DS VC page whole time, so a semi-protection would be appreciated (I'm a very basic level-editor, so I actually don't know how to do this). Thank you in advance. Cheers! Ratengo ( talk) 05:45, 21 December 2012 (UTC)

Hey all :). We've just deployed another set of features for Page Curation. They include flyouts from the icons in Special:NewPagesFeed, showing who reviewed an article and when, a listing of this in the "info" flyout, and a general re-jigging of the info flyout - we've also fixed the weird bug with page_titles_having_underscores_instead_of_spaces in messages sent to talkpages, and introduced CSD logging! As always, these features will need some work - but any feedback would be most welcome.
