This is a note to let the main editors of George Koval know that the article will be appearing as today's featured article on November 14, 2011. You can view the TFA blurb at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/November 14, 2011. If you prefer that the article appear as TFA on a different date, or not at all, please ask featured article director Raul654 ( talk · contribs) or his delegate Dabomb87 ( talk · contribs), or start a discussion at Wikipedia talk:Today's featured article/requests. If the previous blurb needs tweaking, you might change it—following the instructions at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests/instructions. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. The blurb as it stands now is below:

George Koval (1913–2006) was a Soviet intelligence officer. According to Russian sources, Koval's infiltration of the Manhattan Project as a GRU agent "drastically reduced the amount of time it took for Russia to develop nuclear weapons". Koval was born to Jewish immigrants in Sioux City, Iowa. Shortly after reaching adulthood he traveled with his parents to the Soviet Union to settle in the Jewish Autonomous Region near the Chinese border. Koval was recruited by the Soviet Main Intelligence Directorate, trained, and assigned the code name DELMAR. He returned to the United States in 1940 and was drafted into the US Army in early 1943. Koval worked at atomic research laboratories and, according to the Russian government, relayed back to the Soviet Union information about the production processes and volumes of the polonium, plutonium, and uranium used in American atomic weaponry, in addition to descriptions of the weapon production sites. After the war, Koval left on a European vacation but never returned to the United States. In 2007 Russian President Vladimir Putin posthumously awarded Koval the Hero of the Russian Federation decoration for "his courage and heroism while carrying out special missions". ( more...)

I noticed that this article was created recently. Since you have done redirects on the article multiple times, I'm just wondering if you're gonna work on it so make a Good or Featured Article so it can be added to the Halo Featured Topic. GamerPro64 18:55, 12 November 2011 (UTC)

Greetings. As a former (current?) member of the FA-team, would you be willing to help me out? I'm looking for some editors to help review an article I've been working on and give feedback to help it reach FA-quality. Cheers, AstroCog ( talk) 18:06, 14 November 2011 (UTC)

Hi David, I see you've made a few useful edits to this article. Now that you've taken a look at it, are they any specific points or pieces of advice you might give before it is brought to FA-nominations? Looking over previous FAC discussions, it would be nice for me to anticipate any issues with images in the article. Cheers, AstroCog ( talk) 21:13, 26 November 2011 (UTC)

Hey David. Would you mind closing this request? The article in question is one that I have not edited, (at least edits that didn't involve me calling for its expansion), and its nomination has strong consensus for a Keep, with the only opposition being the nominator, who brought up nominations for every electronic sports article he came across. Also, this request has been opened for two weeks, so I think it's time that it's closed. DarthBotto  _{talk• cont} 18:12, 16 November 2011 (UTC)

This indefinitely blocked user was unblocked as the result of an appeal to the BASC under terms enumerated here. Prior to his unblocking, this user engaged in extensive, disruptive socking related the article Nelson Antonio Denis. His socks disrupted a PUF discussion [1] concerning a photograph of himself, during which his socks claimed there was a OTRS letter claiming he "created" the photo. He obviously didn't create the photo (as he was the subject), and the photo was deleted after protracted discussion.

Another user has just uploaded the same photo, and Nelsondenis248 swiftly materialized to post a notice on the photo and its talk page claiming, again, to be the "copyright holder" and stating, again, that an email was again being sent to OTRS. [2] [3]

It seems to me that while editing files or photos of himself was not prohibited by his unblocking, which banned him from editing his article, it is certainly against the spirit of his unblock for him to get involved in the addition of photos to his article. This is especially so considering the way his socks disrupted the previous PUF discussion by making identical arguments that were rejected. I think that he should be expressly cautioned to desist from involvement of any kind in photos of himself or uploaded for insertion into the article about him. ScottyBerg ( talk) 05:31, 18 November 2011 (UTC)

IIRC, User:Jabbsworth is now asserting that he was unblocked because ArbCom ruled that way ... [4] shows his specific claim. I note you were the unblocking admin on 22 July, and wonder if such was in fact the case (the user had removed his block notice from his talk page [5] at 2:42 on 22 July, after the unblock where you said he would only edit from the one account. The main accounts, however were, and are, indefinitely blocked, and I had thought that such an unblock was unusual. He has, unfortunately, reverted to his personal attacks on me, and is using ArbCom as his "Get Out of Jail Free" card at the SPI case Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Ratel where he makes his identity abundantly clear. As this is part of the initial problem Ratel and his myriad of socks has had in the past, I would appreciate learning if he does, indeed, have that card. Cheers. Collect ( talk) 12:48, 22 November 2011 (UTC)

AFAICT, Ratel had atr least 8 socks - notable for making identical edits on article pages. He currently seems to have erred by posting that we should look at the Matt Drudge material on sourcewatch.org, where, mirabile dictu, such article appeared only a few hours before Jabbsworth pointed us to it. That article has the same edit that Ratel, TickleMeister, Jabbsworth, BozellHammer made. In addition, SPI requests connect TickleMeister to OzOke, RxWatch, Hills-Mitchelson, Elleeomosynary, Long:iveReagan, AllYrBaseRBelongUs, and Jabbsworth -- making the link complete. He is now engaging is disruptive behaviour at the Matt Drudge article, inter alia, making the exact same type of edits which caused him to be indeffed a long time ago by Gwen Gale 11:04, 26 May 2009 Gwen Gale (talk | contribs) blocked Ratel (talk | contribs) (account creation blocked) with an expiry time of indefinite ‎ (blatant and willful violation of WP:BLP, [6] . He also got a block from JPGordon for Abusing multiple accounts to feign consenus at [[abusing multiple accounts to feign consensus at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Climate change denial (4th nomination)) He is continuing to operate as usual, and as such I suggest he has violated his parole.

Read also the unredacted Talk:Matt Drudge to see one other teeny problem he appears to have. Cheers. Collect ( talk) 12:41, 23 November 2011 (UTC)

Fine Art Edit-a-Thon & Meetup - Who should come? You should. Really.

FINE ART EDIT-A-THON & DC MEETUP 26 is December 17! The Edit-a-Thon will cover fine art subjects from the Federal Art Project and the meet up will involve Wikipedians from the area as well as Wiki-loving GLAM professionals. You don't have to attend both to attend one (but we hope you do!) Click the link above and sign up & spread the word! See you there! SarahStierch ( talk) 15:41, 26 November 2011 (UTC)

Hi, David! Let me introduce myself - I am quite a new face around WP:VG and my name's Electroguv. I would like to promote Full Throttle (a 1995 LucasArts adventure) to GA, but I don't have enough print sources to start writing about the game's development. You have quite an expierence in reaching hard-to-find print refs, so I was wondering if you could point me to some pieces I could use. Thank you. Electroguv ( talk) 11:42, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

David, hi! Have you found something with which I could start off? Thanks, Electroguv ( talk) 11:18, 1 December 2011 (UTC)

Specifically, I would like some info on when the game was conceived. Without that fact, all the prose in my drafts gets broken. Thank you. Electroguv ( talk) 14:33, 1 December 2011 (UTC)

Hi, David. I compiled all the informantion....and realised that I can't start writing a draft of the article. Even with all the refs you've found (big thanks, by the way) there is not enough info about the game to bring the article up to GA status. Thanks for your help. Electroguv ( talk) 12:39, 4 December 2011 (UTC)

Forget what I said. I've just watched GameSpot video where Tim Schafer talks about his past games, and I think there is chance to make article a GA. Electroguv ( talk) 12:49, 4 December 2011 (UTC)

Hi David, I have responded here in answer to your question. Can you please advise accordingly. Thanks, Russavia ^{Let's dialogue} 21:38, 30 November 2011 (UTC)

David- Just trying to get a jump on the next newsletter feature. Would you be interested in writing a postmortem like the Final Fantasy one in the latest issue? ( Guyinblack25 ^talk 15:04, 3 December 2011 (UTC))

Off the top of my head... I'd recommend maybe The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening or Defense of the Ancients. I chose Final Fantasy because I felt that it had enough interesting editing and reviewing history to be worth reading about. The whole experience was full of lessons that really helped me become a better editor. And I thought others would benefit from those lessons. ( Guyinblack25 ^talk 20:50, 5 December 2011 (UTC))

Given the mess that was the discussion at WT:NOT which led to 100k words of discussion how is it plausible that an RFC will actually achieve anything beyond delaying an Arbcom case and creating a ton of drama? It's quite clear that basically all of the participants are accused of acting in poor faith by at least one of the other people involved. -- Eraserhead1 < talk> 17:05, 12 December 2011 (UTC)

I presume you've seen the comments raised at PhilKnight's talk page.

Even so as an arbitrator you should have responded here to some degree within a week - as per the Betacommand case. -- Eraserhead1 < talk> 21:32, 19 December 2011 (UTC)

I see the case has now been accepted. Even so communication is really important. Just a "fair enough" or "fair point" would have been great.

As a whole the committee has gone from a stage of pissing everyone involved in a relatively easy case off due to poor communication (such as the MickMacNee case in the summer), to getting good feedback and involvement from the community and much less stress in a much more complex case (such as the Abortion case) - the change over this has been huge and highly worthwhile. It would be very disappointing for that progress to be lost. -- Eraserhead1 < talk> 18:45, 21 December 2011 (UTC)

This is a note to let the main editors of Star Trek V: The Final Frontier know that the article will be appearing as today's featured article on December 29, 2011. You can view the TFA blurb at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/December 29, 2011. If you prefer that the article appear as TFA on a different date, or not at all, please ask featured article director Raul654 ( talk · contribs) or his delegate Dabomb87 ( talk · contribs), or start a discussion at Wikipedia talk:Today's featured article/requests. If the previous blurb needs tweaking, you might change it—following the instructions at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests/instructions. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. The blurb as it stands now is below:

Star Trek V: The Final Frontier is a 1989 American science fiction film released by Paramount Pictures. It is the fifth feature in the franchise and the penultimate to star the cast of the original Star Trek science fiction television series. Taking place shortly after the events of Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, the plot follows the crew of the USS Enterprise-A as they confront a renegade Vulcan, Sybok, who is searching for God at the center of the galaxy. The film was directed by cast member William Shatner, following two films directed by his co-star, Leonard Nimoy. Shatner also developed the initial storyline in which Sybok searches for God, but instead finds Satan. The original script was disliked by series creator Gene Roddenberry, while Nimoy and DeForest Kelley objected to the premise that their characters, Spock and Leonard McCoy, would betray Shatner's James T. Kirk. The script went through multiple revisions to please the cast and studio, including cuts in the effects-laden climax of the film. The film's ending was reworked because of poor test audience reaction and the failure of planned special effects. The Final Frontier was released in North America on June 9, 1989, amidst a summer box office crowded by sequels and blockbuster films. The film received generally mixed or poor reviews by critics on release, and according to its producer nearly killed the franchise. ( more...)

Hi, David! It's a pity that nothing came from Full Throttle - there were not much sources on the game though. I noticed that you had contributed to Fable and I am wondering if you would like to work on Fable 2. I'm planning to improve the article, so any possible help would be welcome. Thanks, Electroguv ( talk) 13:04, 26 December 2011 (UTC)

Hey,

Awesome to know that you got into the Arbitration commitee! I remember editing w/ you with some halo articles way back when, and supporting you in your admin appliaction, you really have gone far :)

Out of interest, how do i put the "in soviet halo, weapon need you" on my page? Its quite clever :)

Congratulations on getting Star Trek V: The Final Frontier to featured article status and on a successful main page appearance. Best, Alpha_Quadrant ^(talk) 00:19, 29 December 2011 (UTC)

You are invited to the National Archives ExtravaSCANza, taking place every day next week from January 4–7, Wednesday to Saturday, in College Park, Maryland (Washington, DC metro area). Come help me cap off my stint as Wikipedian in Residence at the National Archives with one last success! This will be a casual working event in which Wikipedians are getting together to scan interesting documents at the National Archives related to a different theme each day—currently: spaceflight, women's suffrage, Chile, and battleships—for use on Wikipedia/Wikimedia Commons. The event is being held on multiple days, and in the evenings and weekend, so that as many locals and out-of-towners from nearby regions1 as possible can come. Please join us! Dominic· t 01:04, 30 December 2011 (UTC) 1 Wikipedians from DC, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Newark, New York City, and Pittsburgh have been invited.

...you properly deleted Aruba (film) due to problems with copyvio. However, I have re-written the article about this film from the ground up and would like to return it to mainspace in a day or two. I'd like to to review my progress at User:MichaelQSchmidt/sandbox/Aruba (2006 film) to see that the new version is suitably different before I bring it back from the grave.

		The Friendship Barnstar
		For your friendly, modest and responsible personality that has, in turn, gained my unyielding respect, I, DarthBotto, award you with The Friendship Barnstar.

Going into this new year, I felt it was time for me to make resolutions in my sectors of life, including Wikipedia, and one is to let those I interact with know that I appreciate them. Since I first started paying attention to the Defense of the Ancients article, I have found somebody I could tag-team with, beyond useful contributions. So, thanks for a positive year and I hope we can work together for other video game projects, (maybe something as ambitious as Dota... TWO!!!). DarthBotto  _{talk• cont} 12:11, 31 December 2011 (UTC)

By the way, I see you haven't updated your barnstar page in about a year. How many barnstars have you received this last year? DarthBotto  _{talk• cont} 00:24, 01 January 2012 (UTC)

Hi there! My name is Whenaxis, I noticed that you are on the Arbitration Committee. I created a policy proposal called Wikipedia:Representation. I think that this policy would help the Arbitration Committee as well as the Mediation Committee because the goal of this proposed policy is to decrease the amount of time wasted when an unfamiliar editor files a Arbitration or Mediation Committee when other forms of Dispute Resolution have not yet been sought. For example, an editor may come to the Arbitration Committee requesting formal mediation when other dispute resolution areas have not been utilised such as third opinions or request for comments. A representative works much like a legal aid - there to help you for free and:

• File a formal mediation case or an arbitration case on your behalf
• Make statements and submit evidence at the case page on your behalf
• Guide you through the expansive and sometimes complex policies and procedures of Wikipedia

This proposed idea can also help the editor seeking help because it can alleviate the stress and anxiety from dispute resolution because mediation and arbitration can be intimidating for those who are unfamiliar.

I would highly appreciate your comments on this proposal at: Wikipedia talk:Representation. Cheers and Happy New Year - Whenaxis about talk contribs 22:43, 31 December 2011 (UTC)

Hello. This is an automated message to tell you that, as it stands, you will shortly be mentioned in this week's 'Arbitration Report' ( link). The report aims to inform The Signpost's many readers about the activities of the Arbitration Committee in a non-partisan manner. Please review the article, and, if you have any concerns, feel free to leave them in the Comments section directly below the main body of text, where they will be read by a member of the editorial team. Please only edit the article yourself in the case of grievous factual errors (making sure to note such changes in the comments section), as well as refraining from edit-warring or other uncivil behaviour on project pages generally. Thank you. On behalf of The Signpost's editorial team, LivingBot ( talk) 00:01, 2 January 2012 (UTC)

Hi David, hope you're doing well. :) I've got a quick question regarding [9] = the first 2 remedies appear to prevent editing directly of articles = but doesn't ban my participation in discussions on talk pages, correct? Thanks so much for your time, — Cirt ( talk) 23:04, 6 January 2012 (UTC)

So I'm just triple-checking to be sure, it would be alright for me to participate in discussions on those pages, and there would not be repercussions if those discussions are good faith and non-disruptive in nature, that would not be a violation of the above remedies? — Cirt ( talk) 03:22, 7 January 2012 (UTC)

Do we need to go that far to be extra safe? I posted the query here to you first because you were listed first as among the drafting arbs. Can you consult and make sure I'd not be making a violation, to participate in talk page discussions? — Cirt ( talk) 04:21, 7 January 2012 (UTC)

Any updates on this? :) — Cirt ( talk) 15:13, 14 January 2012 (UTC)

I posted to Roger Davies ( talk · contribs) as well. — Cirt ( talk) 18:09, 26 January 2012 (UTC)

Hey David, not to be redundant with questions, as I can see that Cirt's contribution above is one, but I have a question about something that I am not comfortably clear on that I would estimate you have experience with. You see, I've looked over Featured Topic candidates, and I was wondering, how many pages of a particular topic have to be of FA/GA quality, in order for it to be considered a topic? Take for example, our great endeavor, DotA; say that Dota 2 becomes a FA- would we be able to consider it a topic and nominate it for featured status with only two articles? DarthBotto  _{talk• cont} 10:03, 08 January 2012 (UTC)

Hmm, I guess that means my idea's off the table for the foreseeable future. DarthBotto  _{talk• cont} 02:17, 09 January 2012 (UTC)

In the course of an ongoing case, the Arbitration Committee has decided to collect all relevant information regarding Malleus Fatuorum's block log and, as such, has created a table of all blocks, which can be found here. Since you either blocked or unblocked Malleus Fatuorum, you are welcome to comment, if you wish. Salvio ^{Let's talk about it!} 13:56, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

PLease see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Raymond Aaron and the article. Fiddle Faddle ( talk) 15:08, 14 January 2012 (UTC)

Hi, David. I noticed that the article's lead says that "Millers began working on Myst in 1991". No such a thing is stated at Development, so that's looking a lot like OR. I think you must take some action. Electroguv ( talk) 11:53, 19 January 2012 (UTC)

This is a note to let the main editors of Pathways into Darkness know that the article will be appearing as today's featured article on February 3, 2012. You can view the TFA blurb at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/February 3, 2012. If you prefer that the article appear as TFA on a different date, or not at all, please ask featured article director Raul654 ( talk · contribs) or his delegate Dabomb87 ( talk · contribs), or start a discussion at Wikipedia talk:Today's featured article/requests. If the previous blurb needs tweaking, you might change it—following the instructions at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests/instructions. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. The blurb as it stands now is below:

Pathways into Darkness is a first-person adventure video game developed and published by Bungie Software Products Corporation (now Bungie) in 1993, exclusively for Apple Macintosh personal computers. Players assume the role of a Special Forces soldier who must stop a powerful, godlike being from awakening and destroying the world. Players solve puzzles and defeat enemies to unlock parts of a pyramid where the god sleeps; the game's ending changes depending on player actions. Pathways began as a sequel to Bungie's Minotaur: The Labyrinths of Crete, before the developers created an original story. Jason Jones programmed the game, while his friend Colin Brent developed the environments and creatures. The game features three-dimensional texture mapped graphics and stereo sound on supported Macintosh models. Pathways was critically acclaimed and won a host of awards; it was also Bungie's first major commercial success, enabling the two-man team of Jason Jones and Alex Seropian to move into a Chicago office and begin paying staff.

Hello, this is the blocked user Zhand38. I can't log-in anymore for some reason nor even talk on my own page. Anyways, I was wondering what I have to do to be unblocked again. I have apologized to the people who were originally trying to help. Um, I don't really know what to say, I feel pretty bad about my rudeness and I don't think there is any luck for me in a while but I just wanted to check. Gwen Gale and DonLammers were the main people who tried to help me, so do you mind hearing their opinions. I will do my best in my will to follow all of the policies and I have many reasons for editing that it will be hard to put it on here, so look at this link. I created this, it took me 10 months to make this, and this is probably what I would put on here. I have found all the websites for references, as I have lacked before when I was unblocked. So the point is, I will not disappoint anyone. I should mention though that what I'm talking about editing the Cincinnati Zoo page.Thanks a bunch.

Hi, I don't know if I'm writing to a proper person about this, but it seems that there is a user who engages in vanalism: 92.8.255.106 ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/92.8.255.106) . Today he edited 7 articles and vandalised them, everything in just under 1 hour. I reverted some of them to their previous versions. I've seen that you also unid the changes in one article. I just wanted to inform someone about this persons behaviour. Thats all, have a nice day

Hope you don't mind if I'm taking a cue from your style of FAC introductions (and your guide - unintentionally, but once I had stumbled upon the very same joke, there was no way I wouldn't link to it!). Also, any comments/suggestions you can add there are welcome :) Thanks. igordebraga ≠ 22:49, 30 January 2012 (UTC)

Don't worry - specially because I still need to see if my nom will keep on running or instead be kept "on the fridge" for some time because I missed the part on the FAC page that read "wait two weeks after a fail"... igordebraga ≠ 00:06, 31 January 2012 (UTC)

I hope so. (me and another user are working hard on that article... so much I just had to start another candidacy!) igordebraga ≠ 00:18, 31 January 2012 (UTC)

Could you please comment on this discussion on my talkpage. There's a couple of matters that need attention from an Arbitrator, but also help in managing expectations. I'm also leaving notes for the other two drafting Arbitrators. Thanks ! -- Alexandr Dmitri ( talk) 05:27, 31 January 2012 (UTC)
