Hey again all :). So, some big news, some small news, some good news, some bad news!
On the "big news" front; we've now deployed AFT5 on to 10 percent of articles, This is pretty awesome :). On the "bad news", however, it looks like we're having to stop at 10 percent until around September - there are scaling issues that make it dangerous to deploy wider. Happily, our awesome features engineering team is looking into them as we speak, and I'm optimistic that the issues will be resolved.
For both "small" and "good" news; we've got another office hours session. This one is tomorrow, at 22:00 UTC in #wikimedia-office connect - I appreciate it's a bit late for Europeans, but I wanted to juggle it so US east coasters could attend if they wanted :). Hope to see you all there!

July 2012 backlog elimination drive wrap-up
Participation: Out of 45 people who signed up this drive, 31 have copy-edited at least one article. Lfstevens continues to carry most of the weight, having edited 360 articles and over a quarter of a million words already. Thanks to all who have participated! Final results, including barnstars awarded, will be available early in August here. Progress report: We are once again very close to achieving in our primary goal—removing the oldest three months from the backlog. Only 35 such articles remain at press time. The total backlog currently sits at under 2400 articles, down from 8323 when we started out over two years ago. We are just two articles away from completing all requests made before July 2012 (both are in progress). Copy Edit of the Month: Starting in August, you'll be able to submit your best copy-editing work for palaver, praise, and prizes. See here for details. – Your drive coordinators: Stfg, Allens, and Torchiest. To discontinue receiving GOCE newsletters, please remove your name from

Thanks for stepping in and converting the CSD to PROD at Wilderness Rendezvous. I'm trying to get a handle on A7, which seems to me to apply to cases (like this one) that would generally be declined. You said you don't think A7 technically applies. Is that because it's a scout camp, and so there's a claim of notability due to its ties to another notable organization? Or, perhaps, its age is an indicator. I don't doubt A7 doesn't apply here, but AFAICT, the article is about a local boyscout camp with no media attention, akin to a local Chinese restaurant or a small D&D group, which seems to me would apply based on A7's wording. If you could clarify whenever you have the chance, that would be exceedingly helpful for me going forward. Thanks. — Jess· Δ ♥ 15:44, 10 August 2012 (UTC)

Articles for Creation urgently needs YOUR help!
Articles for Creation is desperately short of reviewers! We are looking for urgent help, from experienced editors, in reviewing submissions in the pending submissions queue. Currently there are 2745 submissions waiting to be reviewed and many help requests at our Help Desk.
If the answer to these questions is yes, then please read the reviewing instructions and donate a little of your time to helping tackle the backlog. You might wish to add {{ AFC status}} or {{ AfC Defcon}} to your userpage, which will alert you to the number of open submissions.
We would greatly appreciate your help. Currently, only a small handful of users are reviewing articles. Any help, even if it's just 2 or 3 reviews, it would be extremely beneficial. |

Which is more than Bullet Through My Head (Band) will ever make... I see you deleted it twice two minutes apart. If that isn't a record, I don't know what is... (I've just deleted it too. If I see it again, I'll protect it.) Peridon ( talk) 15:10, 20 August 2012 (UTC)
Thank you for protecting the article for the time being. This editor has been warned previously about adding this information, and we've asked them to go to the talk page to present their basis for considering this site to be a reliable source. That said, I shouldn't be undoing things myself repeatedly, so I'll try and do better in the future. -- McDoob AU 93 16:33, 20 August 2012 (UTC)

Hello. I'm struggling to see how protecting this article would be more appropriate than sanctions against the three editors who have been edit warring. I'd appreciate it if you would review this block, which is penalising uninvolved, established editors such as myself that have had no part in the dispute that's been going on.

You deleted DBigXray's SPI and I'm trying to understand why. Why delete it instead of letting it run to its natural conclusion? This is not a frivolous attack either as this Archive of previous SPI's against DBigXray show that others have shared these same concerns and the previous closer holds suspicions of meat-puppetry. I have real suspicions about DBigXray's and Vibhijain's editing behavior and deleting this topic instead of closing it makes things even more dubious. -- Joshuaism ( talk) 14:53, 19 August 2012 (UTC)

It IS vandalism to revert new apps in articles especially if there was clear agreement within the Egypt´s project to use the new boxes. Wut is it that you might not understand? -- Nephiliskos ( talk) 13:46, 3 September 2012 (UTC)
If it's practical, I'd like to put a filter together that disallows edits based on a combination of page content and IP address. Can you tell me if I'm right in assuming that the username for non-logged-in editors is their IP address, as a string? If so, I can generate an expression that matches the complete set of IP ranges used by one particular abusive user... -- The Anome ( talk) 14:04, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

Hi Reaper Eternal ! I have started my second editor review at Wikipedia:Editor review/TheGeneralUser (2). I will be greatly delighted, thankful and valued to have your review for me regarding my editing and possible candidate for Adminship. I see you also evaluate possible candidates for Adminship as you had chosen to do so on Wikipedia:Request an RfA nomination, so do evaluate me too! As you are a experienced and long term Wikipedian so i have asked for your kind review. Take your time to review my editing and give the best review that you can :). Feel free to ask me any questions you would like to on the review page itself. It will be a great honor to have you review me for which I will truly feel appreciated and helpful! I always work to improve Wikipedia and make it a more better place to be for Everyone :). Regards and Happy Editing! TheGeneralUser ( talk) 19:19, 4 September 2012 (UTC)
I don't know if it's within policy, but User:NUMB3RN7NE/list was created during the deletion discussion as an attempt to "save" it. I have no idea whether WP:CSD#G4 would apply, but it's worth looking at. Achowat ( talk) 18:56, 28 August 2012 (UTC)

Hi, could you please look at my reviewer request, I've been waiting 2 days and people after me have had theirs done. Thanks. Adam Mugliston Talk 20:33, 4 September 2012 (UTC)
'reviewer'
, as I have already mentioned. With regards to your statement, "i don't tend to vandalise", vandalism is so obviously inappropriate that even one incident calls your whole trustworthiness into question. You are welcome to request review of my actions from other admins (e.g.
WP:ANI), but I doubt that they will overturn my decision.

Hi, I'm working on filtering the Croatian vandal, and I've got a logging-only rule going at the moment to just catch edits from certain address ranges: could you please take a look at my comments at Wikipedia_talk:Edit_filter#Filter_489? I'm used to the filter log firing every single time a rule is violated: is there possibly some sort of throttling going on for similar events that is preventing all these hits being logged, or am I missing something here? -- The Anome ( talk) 01:30, 5 September 2012 (UTC)

Thanks much for voting. When we put the RfC together, one thing we were all agreed on was that it should run a week, so that it didn't take too much time away from more central questions ... but we decided not to put that in the RfC, I think because we didn't want to force a cutoff in the middle of a good debate. At this point, I've added that question, if you'd like to vote on that one too. - Dank ( push to talk) 15:13, 6 September 2012 (UTC)

I'd appreciate it if you would review this block, which is penalising uninvolved, established editors such as myself that have had no part in the dispute that's been going on.

I think this user deserves to be blocked from editing his/her own talk page because he/she keeps duplicating the block message that you put on it for no reason. MadGuy7023 ( talk) 14:12, 21 August 2012 (UTC)

You deleted DBigXray's SPI and I'm trying to understand why. Why delete it instead of letting it run to its natural conclusion? This is not a frivolous attack either as this Archive of previous SPI's against DBigXray show that others have shared these same concerns and the previous closer holds suspicions of meat-puppetry. I have real suspicions about DBigXray's and Vibhijain's editing behavior and deleting this topic instead of closing it makes things even more dubious. -- Joshuaism ( talk) 14:53, 19 August 2012 (UTC)

Just looking at your page, a person can see the top-righthand-corner just packed with all the accommodations you have received, including the great WikiGryphon. I was wondering, how did you get to be such a great contributor, and do you have any advice on how a person could one day be like you? - Haon 2.0 17:43, Aug 22, 2012
Thanks, that was very concise and extremely humble to boot. A great contributor if I've ever seen on. Hope to see you more later on! - Haon 2.0 18:34, Aug 23, 2012 (UTC)

I rangeblocked for 2 weeks. Left a
note here but not sure if your newer block on the single IP will reduce his block time.

Thanks for blocking the vandals whom I have reported today. I have also requested protection of the Empire State Building shootings article and will watchlist it until it is protected. Electric Catfish 15:32, 24 August 2012 (UTC) |
Hi Reaper! I requested a few changes to the edit filter a month ago and no changes have been implemented yet. What do you think about...
Could you take a look at these false positives? Thanks. Someguy1221 ( talk) 00:14, 28 August 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for your support at my RfA. Your advice is duly noted and appreciated.— Bagumba ( talk) 01:41, 28 August 2012 (UTC)
Nothing, that I have no respect for land thieves. Nienk ( talk) 17:06, 30 August 2012 (UTC)
He deserved that response, because I wasn't trolling, and because he considered my homosexuality as trolling, what a homophobic Wikipedia is this? and yes, I serve in the Israeli Defense Forces but treat land thieves with respect. Nienk ( talk) 17:16, 30 August 2012 (UTC)

It IS vandalism to revert new apps in articles especially if there was clear agreement within the Egypt´s project to use the new boxes. Wut is it that you might not understand? -- Nephiliskos ( talk) 13:46, 3 September 2012 (UTC)
If it's practical, I'd like to put a filter together that disallows edits based on a combination of page content and IP address. Can you tell me if I'm right in assuming that the username for non-logged-in editors is their IP address, as a string? If so, I can generate an expression that matches the complete set of IP ranges used by one particular abusive user... -- The Anome ( talk) 14:04, 3 September 2012 (UTC)
ip_in_range(ip, range)
command. For example:(user_age = 0) & /* Is this even an IP? */ ip_in_range(192.168.0.1, 192.168.128.0/17)
Hi Reaper Eternal ! I have started my second editor review at Wikipedia:Editor review/TheGeneralUser (2). I will be greatly delighted, thankful and valued to have your review for me regarding my editing and possible candidate for Adminship. I see you also evaluate possible candidates for Adminship as you had chosen to do so on Wikipedia:Request an RfA nomination, so do evaluate me too! As you are a experienced and long term Wikipedian so i have asked for your kind review. Take your time to review my editing and give the best review that you can :). Feel free to ask me any questions you would like to on the review page itself. It will be a great honor to have you review me for which I will truly feel appreciated and helpful! I always work to improve Wikipedia and make it a more better place to be for Everyone :). Regards and Happy Editing! TheGeneralUser ( talk) 19:19, 4 September 2012 (UTC)
I don't know if it's within policy, but User:NUMB3RN7NE/list was created during the deletion discussion as an attempt to "save" it. I have no idea whether WP:CSD#G4 would apply, but it's worth looking at. Achowat ( talk) 18:56, 28 August 2012 (UTC)
May I ask what was the reason for deletion of the original list ? -- POVbrigand ( talk) 14:23, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
Hi, could you please look at my reviewer request, I've been waiting 2 days and people after me have had theirs done. Thanks. Adam Mugliston Talk 20:33, 4 September 2012 (UTC)
'reviewer'
, as I have already mentioned. With regards to your statement, "i don't tend to vandalise", vandalism is so obviously inappropriate that even one incident calls your whole trustworthiness into question. You are welcome to request review of my actions from other admins (e.g.
WP:ANI), but I doubt that they will overturn my decision.

Hi, I'm working on filtering the Croatian vandal, and I've got a logging-only rule going at the moment to just catch edits from certain address ranges: could you please take a look at my comments at Wikipedia_talk:Edit_filter#Filter_489? I'm used to the filter log firing every single time a rule is violated: is there possibly some sort of throttling going on for similar events that is preventing all these hits being logged, or am I missing something here? -- The Anome ( talk) 01:30, 5 September 2012 (UTC)
Just saying Thank you. Please forgive any improper placement of this message. Michael V Gold (True) ( talk) 17:09, 5 September 2012 (UTC)
Thanks much for voting. When we put the RfC together, one thing we were all agreed on was that it should run a week, so that it didn't take too much time away from more central questions ... but we decided not to put that in the RfC, I think because we didn't want to force a cutoff in the middle of a good debate. At this point, I've added that question, if you'd like to vote on that one too. - Dank ( push to talk) 15:13, 6 September 2012 (UTC)
