Hello, I am pretty new to wikipedia and I apologize if what I added was deemed as trivia. I just thought that Mark Davis's page was a little small considering he is a majority owner of one of the most storied franchises in the NFL. I felt that the additions I made would be helpful to people looking to learn more about him, being that there is no personal life section. I understand the facts are a little random but are they not better than no facts? Also, is the fact that he graduated from California State University, Chico not trivia? Why does that stay on the page and what I added have to be removed? Any response would be greatly appreciated. Evan smellentine ( talk) 01:06, 10 April 2015 (UTC)evansmellentine
You recently reverted the inclusion of the fact that since March 30, 2015 that ABC World News Tonight is no longer shown on BBC News so hopefully a link to the last ABC World News Tonight was at 01:30 Friday 27 March (You'll notice that the page is on Thursday 26 March)Navigate through the page and navigate through all following pages Monday - Thursday and you will see that I am correct http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcnews/programmes/schedules/2015/03/26 [1] I await your response, also I was looking at BBC News today at 01:30 and it still was not on the screen 213.94.145.91 ( talk) 01:39, 10 April 2015 (UTC)
The source that was used came from the BBC itself also I do frequently watch BBC News too and I have not seen it on since the last program was aired with this reference from the BBC also states "no upcoming episodes" http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b04j5j0j No conclusion is needed it is self apparent, it was previously off air between June 2011 and August 2012 Also up to April 17 it is still not on air. http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcnews/programmes/schedules/2015/04/16 Again no conclusion required If the BBC source is not good enough then I am at a loss as to what a good source is.

Hello Wikipedia Library Users,
You are receiving this message because the Wikipedia Library has record of you receiving a one-year subscription to HighBeam. This is a brief update to remind you about that access:
Finally, we would greatly appreciate if you filled out this short survey. The survey helps us not only better serve you with facilitating this particular partnership, but also helps us discover what other partnerships and services the Wikipedia Library can offer.

Please carefully read this information:
The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding Climate change, a topic which you have edited. The Committee's decision is here.
Discretionary sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimize disruption to controversial topics. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to the topic that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behavior, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. This message is to notify you sanctions are authorised for the topic you are editing. Before continuing to edit this topic, please familiarise yourself with the discretionary sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.jps ( talk) 07:17, 13 April 2015 (UTC)
What would make more sense is if we just had a piece of code that would non-judgmentally alert people that they were editing a page that fell under the relevant discretionary sanctions every time they hit "save" on an article that was flagged as such. This kind of code would be extremely useful in doing other things eventually too such as enforcing topic bans (which is now done primarily through a ridiculous game of having the topic-banned guess as to which articles are intended to be included). jps ( talk) 18:02, 13 April 2015 (UTC)
"I was just copy editing" are valid. Also there are reasons I did not go into why auto-templating as I described would miss some substantive edits, so auto templating would still be supplemented by manual human templating....raising the possibility that I then template a copy editor. Anyway if you want to champion this, direct your input to the ARBs please. They do periodic reviews, after all. NewsAndEventsGuy ( talk) 20:33, 13 April 2015 (UTC)
Hi, any specific reason for holding back so many revisions on this page? You cited issues with the source, however, all the requisite sources are there on the page. Other reason could be sudden activity which is quite possible as the Match 9 got over and there were updates related to match.

The feedback request service is asking for participation in this request for comment on Talk:Shooting of Walter Scott. Legobot ( talk) 00:04, 18 April 2015 (UTC)
Greetings! For this month's issue...
We have demos!
After a lengthy research and design process, we decided for WikiProject X to focus on two things:
We have a live demonstration of the new WikiProject workflow at WikiProject Women in Technology, a brand new WikiProject that was set up as an adjunct to a related edit-a-thon in Washington, DC. The goal is to surface action items for editors, and we intend on doing that through automatically updated working lists. We are looking into using SuggestBot to generate lists of outstanding tasks, and we are looking into additional options for automatic worklist generation. This takes the burden off of WikiProject editors to generate these worklists, though there is also a "requests" section for Wikipedians to make individual requests. (As of writing, these automated lists are not yet live, so you will see a blank space under "edit articles" on the demo WikiProject. Sorry about that!) I invite you to check out the WikiProject and leave feedback on WikiProject X's talk page.
Once the demo is sufficiently developed, we will be working on a limited deployment on our pilot WikiProjects. We have selected five for the first round of testing based on the highest potential for impact and will scale up from there.
While a re-designed WikiProject experience is much needed, that alone isn't enough. A WikiProject isn't any good if people have no way of discovering it. This is why we are also developing an automatically updated WikiProject directory. This directory will surface project-related metrics, including a count of active WikiProject participants and of active editors in that project's subject area. The purpose of these metrics is to highlight how active the WikiProject is at the given point of time, but also to highlight that project's potential for success. The directory is not yet live but there is a demonstration featuring a sampling of WikiProjects.
Each directory entry will link to a WikiProject description page which automatically list the active WikiProject participants and subject-area article editors. This allows Wikipedians to find each other based on the areas they are interested in, and this information can be used to revive a WikiProject, start a new one, or even for some other purpose. These description pages are not online yet, but they will use this template, if you want to get a feel of what they will look like.
We need volunteers!
WikiProject X is a huge undertaking, and we need volunteers to support our efforts, including testers and coders. Check out our volunteer portal and see what you can do to help us!
As an aside...
Wouldn't it be cool if lists of requested articles could not only be integrated directly with WikiProjects, but also shared between WikiProjects? Well, we got the crazy idea of having experimental software feature Flow deployed (on a totally experimental basis) on the new Article Request Workshop, which seeks to be a place where editors can "workshop" article ideas before they get created. It uses Flow because Flow allows, essentially, section-level categorization, and in the future will allow "sections" (known as "topics" within Flow) to be included across different pages. What this means is that you have a recommendation for a new article tagged by multiple WikiProjects, allowing for the recommendation to appear on lists for each WikiProject. This will facilitate inter-WikiProject collaboration and will help to reduce duplicated work. The Article Request Workshop is not entirely ready yet due to some bugs with Flow, but we hope to integrate it into our pilot WikiProjects at some point.

I'm new to the pending-changes editing gig, and I've got a quick question for you based on a situation that just happened. I was reviewing a change to the Steve Carell article, and I clicked the button that says "advertise" to let other reviewers know that I was working on it. As it happened, I thought the change was a good one other than the inexcusable lack of references, so I dug up a reference and submitted an edit. I had to make the change twice though, because you had reverted the page in the meantime. This leads me to wonder what the point of advertising is: would there have been any visible notice to you and our fellow reviewers that I was working on it? I'm not sure I'm understanding the purpose of the advertising feature, and you seem like you might have enough experience to know. Thanks for any advice that you may have! — jameslucas ( " " / +) 18:10, 29 April 2015 (UTC)

Because of the unusual number of participants with interaction bans in the Lightbreather arbitration case, the consensus of the Arbitration Committee is that:
1. All i-bans and associated restrictions are suspended for participation on the /Evidence page. This suspension extends solely and exclusively to the /Evidence page but some tolerance will be given on the /Evidence talk page to link to material on the /Evidence page.
2. For simplicity, and for the purposes of this case only, one-way i-bans are regarded as two-way i-bans.
3. Threaded interactions of any description between participants are prohibited on both the /Evidence and the /Evidence talk pages.
4. Similar arrangements apply to /Workshop page and the /Workshop talk page.

Dear Scalhotrod,
The edit I made to the recycling page was in good faith. You deleted my edit because you said it was geocentric -- but I was actually trying to make the page more global. Currently it is primarily showing an American view of recycling codes. I included a reference to the Chinese system which is far more granular and to the work in the 3d printing community indicating a voluntary coding method that is already being adopted by those that print products themselves all over the world. If you would - I would benefit from your reasoning for not including it -- I didnt have a chance to include a reference I wanted to put in - see /info/en/?search=Talk:Recycling#semi_producted_edit_request_5-16.

Hi, I am seeking your help for a philosophy page. You edited it on May 16, 2015, but since then a new user, Epefleeche, engaged in substantial rewrite that was clearly not NPOV. For example, there was a controversy section in the original article, but he doubled its length and moved it in to the introduction and added editorial comments not supported by reliable sources. He also removed discussion of the subject's work and positive references, such as his recognition in the National Law Journal. Please take a look.

I understand the facts are a little random but are they not better than no facts? Also, is the fact that he graduated from California State University, Chico not trivia? Why does that stay on the page and what I added have to be removed? Any response would be greatly appreciated. Evan smellentine ( talk) 01:06, 10 April 2015 (UTC)evansmellentine
You recently reverted the inclusion of the fact that since March 30, 2015 that ABC World News Tonight is no longer shown on BBC News so hopefully a link to the last ABC World News Tonight was at 01:30 Friday 27 March (You'll notice that the page is on Thursday 26 March)Navigate through the page and navigate through all following pages Monday - Thursday and you will see that I am correct http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcnews/programmes/schedules/2015/03/26 [1] I await your response, also I was looking at BBC News today at 01:30 and it still was not on the screen 213.94.145.91 ( talk) 01:39, 10 April 2015 (UTC)
The source that was used came from the BBC itself also I do frequently watch BBC News too and I have not seen it on since the last program was aired with this reference from the BBC also states "no upcoming episodes" http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b04j5j0j No conclusion is needed it is self apparent, it was previously off air between June 2011 and August 2012 Also up to April 17 it is still not on air. http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcnews/programmes/schedules/2015/04/16 Again no conclusion required If the BBC source is not good enough then I am at a loss as to what a good source is. This source is "straight from the horses mouth" 83.71.110.182 ( talk) 10:28, 10 April 2015 (UTC)
Thanks for attention paid to Anthony Watts (blogger). Your edit summary indicated that in the one massive diff you deleted some unspecified questionable sources.

Please don't delete my contribution for this page because I want that other pageant fans to be updated on what's happening to her. And I am living in the Philippines so I am more updated on what is happening to MJ. We should take turns in editing or contributing because we wan't to make her page better. I hope you will not delete my contribution to this page. Thank You! By the way I am Allyson Fernandez from the Philippines. (GMT+8) 17:38 2015/April/13
Hello Wikipedia Library Users,

Finally, we would greatly appreciate if you filled out this short survey. The survey helps us not only better serve you with facilitating this particular partnership, but also helps us discover what other partnerships and services the Wikipedia Library can offer.

Please carefully read this information:
The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding Climate change, a topic which you have edited. The Committee's decision is here.
Discretionary sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimize disruption to controversial topics. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to the topic that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behavior, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. This message is to notify you sanctions are authorised for the topic you are editing. Before continuing to edit this topic, please familiarise yourself with the discretionary sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.jps ( talk) 07:17, 13 April 2015 (UTC)
What would make more sense is if we just had a piece of code that would non-judgmentally alert people that they were editing a page that fell under the relevant discretionary sanctions every time they hit "save" on an article that was flagged as such. This kind of code would be extremely useful in doing other things eventually too such as enforcing topic bans (which is now done primarily through a ridiculous game of having the topic-banned guess as to which articles are intended to be included). jps ( talk) 18:02, 13 April 2015 (UTC)
"I was just copy editing" are valid. Also there are reasons I did not go into why auto-templating as I described would miss some substantive edits, so auto templating would still be supplemented by manual human templating....raising the possibility that I then template a copy editor. Anyway if you want to champion this, direct your input to the ARBs please. They do periodic reviews, after all. NewsAndEventsGuy ( talk) 20:33, 13 April 2015 (UTC)
Hi, any specific reason for holding back so many revisions on this page? You cited issues with the source, however, all the requisite sources are there on the page. Other reason could be sudden activity which is quite possible as the Match 9 got over and there were updates related to match.

The feedback request service is asking for participation in this request for comment on Talk:Shooting of Walter Scott. Legobot ( talk) 00:04, 18 April 2015 (UTC)
Greetings! For this month's issue...
We have demos!
After a lengthy research and design process, we decided for WikiProject X to focus on two things:
We have a live demonstration of the new WikiProject workflow at WikiProject Women in Technology, a brand new WikiProject that was set up as an adjunct to a related edit-a-thon in Washington, DC. The goal is to surface action items for editors, and we intend on doing that through automatically updated working lists. We are looking into using SuggestBot to generate lists of outstanding tasks, and we are looking into additional options for automatic worklist generation. This takes the burden off of WikiProject editors to generate these worklists, though there is also a "requests" section for Wikipedians to make individual requests. (As of writing, these automated lists are not yet live, so you will see a blank space under "edit articles" on the demo WikiProject. Sorry about that!) I invite you to check out the WikiProject and leave feedback on WikiProject X's talk page.
Once the demo is sufficiently developed, we will be working on a limited deployment on our pilot WikiProjects. We have selected five for the first round of testing based on the highest potential for impact and will scale up from there.
While a re-designed WikiProject experience is much needed, that alone isn't enough. A WikiProject isn't any good if people have no way of discovering it. This is why we are also developing an automatically updated WikiProject directory. This directory will surface project-related metrics, including a count of active WikiProject participants and of active editors in that project's subject area. The purpose of these metrics is to highlight how active the WikiProject is at the given point of time, but also to highlight that project's potential for success. The directory is not yet live but there is a demonstration featuring a sampling of WikiProjects.
Each directory entry will link to a WikiProject description page which automatically list the active WikiProject participants and subject-area article editors. This allows Wikipedians to find each other based on the areas they are interested in, and this information can be used to revive a WikiProject, start a new one, or even for some other purpose. These description pages are not online yet, but they will use this template, if you want to get a feel of what they will look like.
We need volunteers!
WikiProject X is a huge undertaking, and we need volunteers to support our efforts, including testers and coders. Check out our volunteer portal and see what you can do to help us!
As an aside...
Wouldn't it be cool if lists of requested articles could not only be integrated directly with WikiProjects, but also shared between WikiProjects? Well, we got the crazy idea of having experimental software feature Flow deployed (on a totally experimental basis) on the new Article Request Workshop, which seeks to be a place where editors can "workshop" article ideas before they get created. It uses Flow because Flow allows, essentially, section-level categorization, and in the future will allow "sections" (known as "topics" within Flow) to be included across different pages. What this means is that you have a recommendation for a new article tagged by multiple WikiProjects, allowing for the recommendation to appear on lists for each WikiProject. This will facilitate inter-WikiProject collaboration and will help to reduce duplicated work. The Article Request Workshop is not entirely ready yet due to some bugs with Flow, but we hope to integrate it into our pilot WikiProjects at some point.

I'm new to the pending-changes editing gig, and I've got a quick question for you based on a situation that just happened. I was reviewing a change to the Steve Carell article, and I clicked the button that says "advertise" to let other reviewers know that I was working on it. As it happened, I thought the change was a good one other than the inexcusable lack of references, so I dug up a reference and submitted an edit. I had to make the change twice though, because you had reverted the page in the meantime. This leads me to wonder what the point of advertising is: would there have been any visible notice to you and our fellow reviewers that I was working on it? I'm not sure I'm understanding the purpose of the advertising feature, and you seem like you might have enough experience to know. Thanks for any advice that you may have! — jameslucas ( " " / +) 18:10, 29 April 2015 (UTC)

Because of the unusual number of participants with interaction bans in the Lightbreather arbitration case, the consensus of the Arbitration Committee is that:
1. All i-bans and associated restrictions are suspended for participation on the /Evidence page. This suspension extends solely and exclusively to the /Evidence page but some tolerance will be given on the /Evidence talk page to link to material on the /Evidence page.
2. For simplicity, and for the purposes of this case only, one-way i-bans are regarded as two-way i-bans.
3. Threaded interactions of any description between participants are prohibited on both the /Evidence and the /Evidence talk pages.
4. Similar arrangements apply to /Workshop page and the /Workshop talk page.

Dear Scalhotrod,
The edit I made to the recycling page was in good faith. You deleted my edit because you said it was geocentric -- but I was actually trying to make the page more global. Currently it is primarily showing an American view of recycling codes. I included a reference to the Chinese system which is far more granular and to the work in the 3d printing community indicating a voluntary coding method that is already being adopted by those that print products themselves all over the world. If you would - I would benefit from your reasoning for not including it -- I didnt have a chance to include a reference I wanted to put in - see /info/en/?search=Talk:Recycling#semi_producted_edit_request_5-16.

Hi, I am seeking your help for a philosophy page. You edited it on May 16, 2015, but since then a new user, Epefleeche, engaged in substantial rewrite that was clearly not NPOV. For example, there was a controversy section in the original article, but he doubled its length and moved it in to the introduction and added editorial comments not supported by reliable sources. He also removed discussion of the subject's work and positive references, such as his recognition in the National Law Journal. Please take a look. I only edit entries about philosophers and have no experience dealing with situations like this. Thank you. ( User:Philosophy_Junkie ( talk) — Preceding undated comment added 12:30, 28 May 2015 (UTC)
