You are now a Reviewer

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles ( talk) 17:55, 15 June 2010 (UTC) reply

Hi Felix, you can read lots more about this at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard#Pending changes trial imminent!. Having the new user-right won't mean that you have to do anything more, or anything differently, it just means that you are a trusted editor, and on a few selected articles you can approve edits made by editors who don't have the new right. The sort of articles likely to come under the new scheme will be some biographies of living people which attract a lot of vandalism, and subjects which are controversial, perhaps ones around climate change or terrorism.

Unified accounts

Hiya. I note that you registered your English Wikipedia account on 27 February 2008 - therefore, currently, you do not have a unified account. More recently created accounts are automatically unified - meaning that the same username/password can be used on any of the sister projects.

Have a quick read of m:Help:Unified login#How to unify your accounts, and then, just go to Special:MergeAccount. Once your account is unified, you should be able to use the same username and password on all different language wikis - including Wikipedya Kernewek and Wikipédia francophone.  Chzz   ►  00:40, 29 July 2009 (UTC) reply

Keble College

I noticed your Keble userbox, and wondered whether you might be able to help. I've started work on a couple of Keble-related lists ( Honorary Fellows and alumni) to match some similar Jesus College lists that I've done. Have you kept back issues of the Keble Record? I have a feeling that there are going to be some details where the internet just won't do, and where old-fashioned paper sources will be needed. I've got a second-hand copy of the 1970 Centenary Register, so I should be OK up to that point, but details for later students / dates of election to a Hon Fellowship (for example) may be a problem. Any help you might be able to give would be fantastic. (I don't need anything right at the moment; it's just a general query for now). Regards, Bencherlite ^Talk 12:48, 3 September 2009 (UTC) reply

Hello, I have got all the issues of the Record from the time I was at Keble i.e. 1964 onwards so would be able to help when you do start work.-- Felix Folio Secundus ( talk) 14:01, 6 September 2009 (UTC) reply

Excellent! I wonder whether at some point in the next few months I could ask you to have a hunt for the following pieces of information, for the Honorary Fellows list (HFs):

• When did Lodwrick Cook get his HF, and why? I assume it was for donations to the college, but can't find anything online to confirm. At a guess, 1992 or 1993.
  • ARCO was a huge benefactor
    • Lodwrick M. Cook, chief executive of ARCO, according to The Record 1993.
• Same questions for Ghillean Prance. At a guess, 1992 or 1993, for donations.
  • Ghillean Tolmie Prance, President Ronald Reagan, Stephen Desmond Watkins, Bryan Edgar Magee: all appear for the first time in The Record 1994
• Same questions for Victoria de Breyne. At a guess, it was 2001 or 2002, for donations to the college
  • Certainly André Felix de Breyne gave large amounts during his lifetime
  • Victoria Benz was his 2nd wife (for 25 years) and outlived him; col. portrait of André and Victoria de Breyne in The Record 1994. Victoria appointed Hon Fellow from May 2002 according to The Record 2002; listed later as Victoria Grace de Breyne (still in list 2008).
• Same questions for James Martin. At a guess, 2003 to 2005, for donations.
  • James Thomas Martin first appears as an Hon Fellow in 2005 (no obvious reason)
• When did Howard Nixon get it? He hadn't got it by 1970 and he died in 1983, if that helps.
  • Granted in Dec 1980 according to his obituary notice in The Record 1983, p. 22-23
• Who is Richard Thornton, and why was he given an HF (at a guess, in the mid-80s)?
  • Richard Chicheley Thornton first appears as an Hon Fellow in The Record 1987
• Similarly, who is Stephen Watkins, and why was he given an HF (at a guess, in about 1992 or 1993)?
  • See above, Prance
• Similarly, who is George Robinson, and why was he given an HF in 2002?
  • First listed as Hon Fellow in The Record 2003: George Robinson, BA (no obvious reason); appears later as George Edward Silvanus Robinson http://www.rateitall.com/i-2063053-george-edward-silvanus-robinson.aspx
• When was David Wilson, Baron Wilson of Tillyorn given his HF? At a guess, late 80s.
  • Lord Wilson first appears as an Hon Fellow in The Record 1987
• Does the Record say why John Betjeman was given an HF in 1974?
  • This is before a complete list of all Fellows is printed: that was the time of the Centenary Appeal and he appears as one of 13 "Friends" in an appeal leaflet. His role within the Victorian Society and his writings on architecture must have been the reasons for an Hon Fellowship. 1975 issue notes that Betjeman, an Hon Fellow has been given an Hon D.Litt. by the University of Dublin.
• Does the Record say why Ronald Reagan was given an HF in 1994? Seems a surprising choice!
  • No mention of why he was chosen; see above, Prance. The Record 2004 prints a half-page obituary notice: Reagan visited Keble in 1992 and was principal guest at a lunch also attended by Lord Jenkins, Chancellor of the University; Hon Fellow from 1994.
• Did the Record print an obituary for Andre de Breyne? He looks as though he should be notable, but I can't find much about him. Any information about his wife/widow Victoria?
  • Probably widow and very aged; certainly appears in Record
    • Obituary of de Breyne in The Record 1998, pp. 29-31 & port. as fp. A Belgian but in Britain since 1914: had a leading role in Standard Industrial Trust Ltd. 1st wife Catherine d. 1971, no children. Notable art collector.
• Did the Record print an obituary for Alfred Hans von Engel (died 1992)? Again, he looks notable, but difficult to find out details for.
  • Funeral address for him (he died 2 October 1991) in The Record 1992 gives 1980 as the date of his Hon Fellowship. Retrospective tribute by Raoul Franklin in The Record 2002, pp. 9-11, explains his family background, etc. (earlier listings for him as Fellow have: Alfred Hans Engel de Janosi)

There is of course absolutely no rush for any of this information, and any help you can give would be very gratefully received. For the "when and why" info, all I'd need in addition to the info is the details of the Record in question: year, page, section title and (if given) author. For the "who is / obituary" questions, if there's enough to make a stab at an article, I'll gladly have a go if you can give me the material (do you have a scanner?) The Featured List process likes lists to have articles rather than redlinks, but if the people in question aren't "notable" in the Wikipedia sense, so be it. Hope this all makes sense. Regards, and best wishes, Bencherlite ^Talk 20:13, 13 October 2009 (UTC) reply

Thanks for your message. Nixon is in Who Was Who but neither that nor his obituary in The Times gives the date of his HF. Look forward to hearing from you again in due course.

List of Honorary Fellows of Keble College, Oxford

Many thanks for your help with some references a few months ago. I've now finished the list, more-or-less, and moved it to main space. My plan is to nominate it at Featured List candidates in a little while, once the current list that I've got up there ( Savilian Professor of Geometry, since you ask) is cleared for promotion. Would you object if I listed you as a co-nominator in return for the help you've given to date? (And also just in case there's some more help I need from you if there are any queries!) Regards, Bencherlite ^Talk 22:41, 11 March 2010 (UTC) reply

Thanks for your reply. Perhaps before we get to FLC, you can help with a few minor missing things that I'm sure will be noted by reviewers. Do you have the page number and section title (e.g. "Letter from the Warden", "(List of) Honorary Fellows") mentioning the award of Hon Fellowship to:

• David Wilson, Baron Wilson of Tillyorn, from the 1987 Record

College elections and appointments, on p. 9

• Lodwrick Cook, from the 1993 Record

College elections and appointments, on p. 11

• Ghillean Prance, from the 1994 Record

College elections and appointments, on p. 75

• Desmond Watkins, from the 1994 Record

College elections and appointments, on p. 75

• Victoria de Breyne, from the 2002 Record

College elections and appointments, on p. 67

• Ronald Reagan, from the 2004 Record

College elections and appointments, 1994, on p. 75

The life of the College, 2004; "Ronald Reagan, Honorary GCB" on p 15

• James Martin, from the 2005 Record

he appears as last in the list of HFs on p. 74 but is not listed under College elections and appointments

If you give me the details, I can add them into the list. Many thanks, Bencherlite ^Talk 13:50, 16 March 2010 (UTC) reply

WikiProject England

Deletion of wpe banner

Hi, I noticed from my watchlist that you have been deleting the WikiProject England banner from the talk pages of various articles relating to Somerset villages etc. I don't have any objection but wondered whether this had been discussed anywhere and I'd missed it?— Rod ^talk 10:27, 2 September 2011 (UTC) reply

Thanks - years ago I argued that towns & villages which have county project banners on their talk pages didn't need wpe (or UKGEO) and that these should in some way then be aggregated into the parent projects - but nothing came of this. However I would suggest putting an note on the wpe talk page just explaining what you are doing, otherwise you will get others like me questioning why you are doing it.— Rod ^talk 11:11, 2 September 2011 (UTC) reply

Continued

Hi, Can you explain why the WikiProject England template is being removed from numerous article talk pages. I would have thought that the project covered all of the ones that appear on my watchlist. Most English villages should be under three projects, the local area project, WikiProject UK geography and WikiProject England. Keith D ( talk) 20:50, 5 September 2011 (UTC) reply

I have added part of relevant discussion above (another message on talk:Rodw). I now think deleting the wpe banners was a mistake and have stopped doing it. In practice the coverage is very patchy anyway.-- Felix Folio Secundus ( talk) 21:01, 5 September 2011 (UTC) reply

Thanks. I was wondering if there had been some discussion/decision while I was away on this. I have added the specific county projects to Yorkshire, Lincolnshire, Warwickshire and Coventry articles so there should be none of these around without the specific project unless they were created/added to the county category tree in the last month. 21:25, 6 September 2011 (UTC)

Double O (charity)

Hi, Felix. I notice you've added the WikiProject medical tag to this article. Why do you feel Double O should be a medical article? It's a UK charity that funds various humanitarian causes. Pkeets ( talk) 19:35, 6 January 2012 (UTC) reply

Your message was unclear. Are you referring to the "health charity" category? This is a foundation that was begun by a rock bank to fund charity causes of their choice. It's true they provide funding to drug addiction and other medical facilities, but also schools, disaster relief, prison reform, women's shelters, and work dog training centers. They do not conduct medical research or provide direct medical services. I'm not sure a medical tag is appropriate. Pkeets ( talk) 00:03, 7 January 2012 (UTC) reply

Project banner removal

I notice that you removed some WikiProject Ireland banners from a number of article talk pages at the same time replacing them with the Irish Music project banner. This is inappropriate as the Ireland project still applies to the article even though it also can be listed by the Irish Music project. Many article have several related project banners. Many Northern Ireland articles have both Ireland and Northern Ireland banners and this is quite correct because the Ireland project applies to everything to do with the island of Ireland. You are welcome to add any other appropriate banners but please don't remove any that are correctly placed there.

There are other citns which appear to have the same problem. It may be because text has been moved here from the Bede article.

Thanks for your quick response. Actually, you were a little too quick. While you were fixing it, I was independently doing the same thing you were doing.

No problem, I have forgotten the facebook thing, for my person I own more than one e-mails and facebook account, but not really anonymous. It is complicated, to create a second identit"ies". And on the other hand it is sometimes complicated to generate a second account and so on. The Only thing I like on facebook really is the chat-function. meinvz.net makes the same thing but is creatable without problems. So if you will change your mind for chatting one time or to use something like this as a Clipboard (e.g. for pre-translating), this could be maybe a way. But the topic is not so important --- The weather is nice. The chances for the extra job are not low, but I will see, it would be possibly interesting for me. In the moment I am proud that I have translated some sentences into German: https://sites.google.com/site/tyndaledeutsch/schriften/die-parabel-vom-boesen-mammon The only thing which is not good is that I do not get the original print (facsimile of it), the same with the script The Obedience of a Christian Man. -- Soenke Rahn ( talk) 06:40, 25 June 2011 (UTC) reply

ok, in the moment I translate a lot, so I will make a brain storming. If I see it right the St. Paul's church passage owns two or three sentences. ... So I make it in the moment. (-: -- Soenke Rahn ( talk) 06:50, 25 June 2011 (UTC) reply

Tintagel, seems to be an interesting village. I have enlarged the German article of it. Possibly later I suppose it would be possible to make a separate article St Paul's Church, Tintagel, like how you made it in the English Version. Than, it could be interesting to write to the church and ask for pictures for the German wikipedia, I suppose. -- Is my work ok for the moment? Lacks? --- Latin was a good choice in the school and here and there I know that you will understand German without it.

Invitation to take part in a pilot study

Highlighting

That the article's sighted version status. You wouldn't see these colors on the en_wiki because this feature is not implemented here. A pale yellow highlight means that the article needs to be sighted, while pale blue means that the article had already been sighted by someone. The exact implementation details may vary from one Wikipedia to another, but in general your edits will always be marked as unsighted in Wikipedias where you don't have an autoreviewer status, and you can do nothing to change that unless you have a reviewer status. The bottom line—you can safely ignore that highlighting :)— Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • ( yo?); June 28, 2011; 13:28 (UTC)

New Page Patrol survey

New page patrol – Survey Invitation Hello Felix Folio Secundus! The WMF is currently developing new tools to make new page patrolling much easier. Whether you have patrolled many pages or only a few, we now need to know about your experience. The survey takes only 6 minutes, and the information you provide will not be shared with third parties other than to assist us in analyzing the results of the survey; the WMF will not use the information to identify you. If this invitation also appears on other accounts you may have, please complete the survey once only. If this has been sent to you in error and you have never patrolled new pages, please ignore it. Please click HERE to take part. Many thanks in advance for providing this essential feedback. You are receiving this invitation because you have patrolled new pages. For more information, please see NPP Survey

Your talkpage

Entirely up to you how you organise your talkpage (within Wikipedia guidelines of course). You are probably used to it and comfortable with it. However, just to let you know that as a user I found it hard to navigate and find anything. It appears to me that some of the material at the top might be better placed on your user page, while much of the rest could usefully be archived. This would make it easier for others to use. If you are not sure how to archive, let me know, and I'll show you. SilkTork ^{✔Tea time} 18:53, 9 March 2012 (UTC) reply

Sub page perhaps?

As I find your talkpage awkward to deal with, and you are hesitant about archiving, how about creating a subpage for communication? You could watchlist it, so you know I have left you a message. Creating a subpage is easy - /Libraries. SilkTork ^{✔Tea time} 19:17, 13 March 2012 (UTC) reply

Request to take part in a survey

I am Piotr Konieczny, a fellow Wikipedian (User:Piotrus) and a researcher of Wikipedia ( http://scholar.google.com/citations?user=gdV8_AEAAAAJ). I am currently (in collaboration with WMF) embarking on a project trying to understand why the most active Wikipedia contributors (such as yourself) may reduce their activity, or retire. We have a growing understanding of why an average editor may do so (see http://strategy.wikimedia.org/wiki/Former_Contributors_Survey_Results), but we have a very limited understanding of why the top editors would limit their contributions. Yet it is the top editors like yourself who contribute most of Wikiepdia's content, thus understanding this is of vital concern to Wikipedia's project future.

I am contacting you because you are among the top Wikipediana by number of edits, yet your editing activity shows a decline. I would very much appreciate if you would take a minute and answer the following four short questions. Please note this is not a mass email; I am contacting only few dozen of editors like yourself, and each response is extremely valuable. Your response will not be made public, and your privacy will be fully respected.

If you would like to help out in this project and take part in a very short survey, please send me a wikiemail, so that I can send you an email with the survey questions. -- _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 19:51, 19 July 2013 (UTC) reply

Hi, I wonder if you had time to consider my request? -- _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 11:24, 25 July 2013 (UTC) reply

Thanks, that's all I needed, really :) The survey basically asks if the reason for lessened contribs is related to personal life/work or wikicoflicts/wikistress. Cheers, -- _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 11:37, 25 July 2013 (UTC) reply

I wish I had a good advice to offer. Hope the following will help, through it probably just repeats Wikipedia:Wikistress:

• don't let small number of negative incidents/troll ruin the fun found elsewhere;
• as annoying as this is, remember that any incident is probably of little importance in any scheme of grand things - don't let it annoy you too much;
• seek community assistance through procedures outline in WP:DR;

I could send you a draft of my article, but it is academic (i.e. it's primary functions do not include being realistically useful - too much theorizing :>); Cheers, -- _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 02:28, 23 September 2013 (UTC) reply

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

In 2009 you added a paragraph to Trefeca regarding the foundation of a theological college, with the check-in comment ‎Coleg Trefeca: text from other article. Your new text is almost identical to a page in the Calvinistic Methodist Archives at the National Library of Wales, [1]

Did you copy the text from there? If so it breaks the Wikipedia:Plagiarism rules. If you did not write this text for Wikipedia then please rewrite the paragraph in you own words, citing the source.

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to!
