Looking for collaborators

Hi FeralOink, I’m currently working on the page for David M. Cote and noticed you'd been active on Honeywell. I'm fairly new to Wikipeida (at least on the editing side) and I’m reaching out to experienced editors to collaborate with on future projects, so that I might more quickly learn the ins and outs of what makes a good article (in practice, rather than theory), as well as more about the Wikipedia community in general. I’d appreciate any feedback or suggestions you might have for me on my Wikipedian adventure. Thanks! -- FacultiesIntact ( talk) 23:36, 5 December 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for stopping by, User talk:FacultiesIntact! I left comments and feedback for you on your talk page.-- FeralOink ( talk) 17:33, 20 December 2014 (UTC)
Hey FeralOink, thanks for getting back to me! I actually have a draft for a revised version of David M. Cote here on my sandbox. I should have clarified that on this particular article I do have a COI, which I've disclosed on the Cote talk page. At this point I'm trying to garner a consensus on my draft so that I can submit it for an edit request (I wouldn't publish it myself), but I really would appreciate any feedback or help you can give now or in the future. -- FacultiesIntact ( talk) 00:22, 23 December 2014 (UTC)

Greetings from the inside world

Ellie, Great to hear from you! And your note suggests a few q's. Why not the visual editor? I found it quite useful for some aspects, e.g., formatting. More importantly, I'm curious about your ideas for motivating students. What do you have in mind? I'm hoping to survey the registered students soon, a few weeks before the semester, to gauge their interest and hopefully pave the way for a positive reception to WP assignments. Would you be willing to serve as an online ambassador for the course? See Wikipedia:Education program/Ambassadors. You could then be listed on the course page as a volunteer for the course. In any case… Happy 2015 CE back at ya! :) ProfGray ( talk) 01:05, 1 January 2015 (UTC)

Sorry, FO, like you both, for your engaging manners, passion for your ideas, contrasting styles, not to mention energy and rhetorical talent. I'm reminded of a children's story where two aristocratic protagonists, one of the two being unaware of their birthright, grow up side by side, battling as they go… wherein the author closes the story with "…and the two married [forgive, if perceived as an anachronism, it is in the story]… so they could fight more conveniently."

I just declined your PROD thus: "Declined prod. Not averse to AFD. Possible WP:NOTCRYSTAL, but press coverage exists. Conundrum. Discussion required." I was tempted to approve it and then AfD it at once, so I am glad you noticed it. If you take it to AfD I will remain neutral as the accepting WP:AFC reviewer. I feel it needs further discussion, but may be almost unique in being a notable entity that 'does not yet exist'. Fiddle Faddle 07:25, 2 April 2015 (UTC)

Why the Talen Energy article does not fall under WP:NOTCRYSTAL guidelines.
  • The event is verifiable – numerous reliable independent secondary sources have commented.
  • The event is noteworthy – large company noted in mainstream news.
  • The event will almost certainly to take place – most analysts expect 2nd quarter 2015 completion; no speculation here.
  • There is no undue bias
  • There is no attempt of advertising
  • The event is already in progress – offices exist, a CEO has been named. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission has granted conditional approval.
  • There is no OR.

Oh wow, you are THAT David Eppstein, the famous mathematician! I wrote about you on Quora, see here: Ellie Kesselman's answer to Who are some of the active Wikipedians who are famous enough to have their own entry on Wikipedia? I am Ellie Kesselman ;o) You actually appeared twice, but someone collapsed the earlier answer. I also read your blog on LiveJournal. I like your periodic arXiv highlight entries. In my Quora answer, I used a photograph of you that I found in the collapsed answer, but I don't know if it is a copyvio. If you would like to provide another BIGGER photo, that would be great. My answer, i.e. YOU, is the only correct one, other than Jimmy Wales. All the rest are just frequent editors. You are actually notable outside of Wikipedia!
As for that template spam, it looks a lot better now! The reason why I noticed it was because I was trying to remove all the white space in the Triple Bar article, just prior to the references. I still see that there, even after your edit. It isn't a big deal of course, but it is a little odd. Any ideas, or should we just leave it alone?

Request for assistance on AfC submission by RevengeOfTheRobots

Im trying to submit an article and it's been rejected two times. The first time I understand. However the second one seems more like a bias opinion with nothing really concrete. For example the line when stated like an advertisement. There's no real clarity to what that means or how that conclusion was came about. Lastly, when it was said not just articles created by the creator. Well obviously I did not create the articles that are referenced in the content. Im wondering how this person came to the notion that I wrote the content that this article is linking back to you? Def need some assistance.

hello,

in your edit from 2015 https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Baltic_Dry_Index&diff=695873121&oldid=695492199 you've removed a mention of data vendor Macrobond, while left other Bloomberg and Thomson Reuters. can i ask you to reconsider / revert that edit? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pqd ( talkcontribs) 10:48, 9 August 2016 (UTC)

Re: MyWOT talk page

I undid my contribution to the talk page, because a WOT moderator seemed to have evidence of this "TOW Software" being WOT, and I found some evidence on Google too.

As for the claim in July TOW went out of business, the only thing I noticed on WOT was they moved the servers from the Finnish ISP Nebula OY to the Amazon cloud, triggering weird bugs, as well as poor performance for a while. — Preceding unsigned comment added by BFeely ( talkcontribs) 12:25, 6 November 2016 (UTC)

No offense. But why won't you folks let me bring that article in line (as much as possible) with the others? United States presidential election, 2012 & the others before it, have Elected President. PS - Will I have to change all 57 other infoboxes to President-elect, so to make them all consistent? GoodDay ( talk) 21:33, 13 November 2016 (UTC)

Hi GoodDay. As of now, Obama and previous presidents were elected presidents, since the electoral college is completed for those elections. At the moment, Trump has the official status of president-elect. Also, I don't want people to keep editing the article, implying that the election results are uncertain in any way. Trump IS the elected president of the United States. Some of the other editors were writing that Trump was "projected" to win! That makes it seem like the election isn't over yet, or that there remains some uncertainty of the status of the outcome.
By the way, I am not happy with the person who keeps on reverting your changes to the electoral college count of 306 and lowers it to 200-something. I am going to comment on the talk page about that. You are correct. That other user is not, and has reverted at least 3 times today on the electoral college vote count for Trump.-- FeralOink ( talk) 21:43, 13 November 2016 (UTC)
He's going to continue to be President-elect after the Electoral College votes, as well. I put Projected Elected President as a compromise & also because the Electoral Votes are listed a projected. IMHO, the bottom of the infobox should be Elected President per the numerious sources. GoodDay ( talk) 21:46, 13 November 2016 (UTC)
GoodDay, tell me what you mean by the other 57 infoboxes please? I'm sorry, but I just noticed that you added that now. Do mean for the US presidential election 2016 article, or for the other articles on presidential elections? Those other election infoboxes should stay the same. Only this article will change. Unless I have misunderstood you. Thank you.-- FeralOink ( talk) 21:49, 13 November 2016 (UTC)
The 57 others: United States presidential election, 1788 to United States presidential election, 2012 which use Elected President. The 2016 article should do the same per vast number of sources. GoodDay ( talk) 21:51, 13 November 2016 (UTC)
Correct, GoodDay, those 57 others ARE "Elected Presidents". They should remain as they are. Obama and previous presidents were elected presidents, since the electoral college is completed for those elections. Trump is the president-elect until he assumes office on January 17, 2016. You are correct that he is not the president even after the electoral college vote. But he IS the president-elect now, and all those other past presidents are correctly noted as "Elected President".-- FeralOink ( talk) 21:56, 13 November 2016 (UTC)
Thus the reason I put Projected Elected President. It's projected that the Electoral college will elect Donald Trump president. As for the title President-elect, Trump will continue to use that title up until he takes office on January 20, 2017. GoodDay ( talk) 22:03, 13 November 2016 (UTC)

Discretionary sanctions alert

This message contains important information about an administrative situation on Wikipedia. It does not imply any misconduct regarding your own contributions to date.

Please carefully read this information:

The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding all edits about, and all pages related to post-1932 politics of the United States and closely related people, 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 that 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.

New Page Review needs your help

Hi FeralOink,

As an AfC reviewer you're probably aware that a new user right has been created for patrolling new pages (you might even have been granted the right already, and admins have it automatically).

Since July there has been a very serious backlog at Special:NewPagesFeed of over 14,000 pages, by far the worst since 2011, and we need an all out drive to get this back down to just a few hundred that can be easily maintained in the future. Unlike AfC, these pages are already in mainspace, and the thought of what might be there is quite scary. There are also many good faith article creators who need a simple, gentle push to the Tea House or their pages converted to Draft rather than being deleted.

Although New Page Reviewing can occasionally be somewhat more challenging than AfC, the criteria for obtaining the right are roughly the same. The Page Curation tool is even easier to use than the Helper Script, so it's likely that most AfC reviewers already have more than enough knowledge for the task of New Page Review.

It is hoped that AfC reviewers will apply for this right at WP:PERM and lend a hand. You'll need to have read the page at WP:NPR and the new tutorial.

Draft:Devsisters resubmitted

Hi, FeralOink! As per your request, I've replaced most of the Twitter and Facebook citings with other sources, with one exception: The discontinuation of the game OvenBreak 2, which was only announced on the official Facebook page. The draft text says "Discontinuation of service announced" instead of "servide discontinued", so the self-source reference might be acceptable for that? If not, "citation needed" or simply removing that piece of information appear to be the only alternatives. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 211.209.60.232 ( talk) 09:23, 27 November 2016 (UTC)

@Editor from Bonn 87.156.235.113 Sigh, I was replying to YOUR responses to MY previous comments. That was awhile ago.

Enough already with Christopher Steele, please.

Hey FeralOink, thanks for getting back to me! I actually have a draft for a revised version of David M. Cote here on my sandbox. I should have clarified that on this particular article I do have a COI, which I've disclosed on the Cote talk page. At this point I'm trying to garner a consensus on my draft so that I can submit it for an edit request (I wouldn't publish it myself), but I really would appreciate any feedback or help you can give now or in the future. -- FacultiesIntact ( talk) 00:22, 23 December 2014 (UTC)

Greetings from the inside world

Ellie, Great to hear from you! And your note suggests a few q's. Why not the visual editor? I found it quite useful for some aspects, e.g., formatting. More importantly, I'm curious about your ideas for motivating students. What do you have in mind? I'm hoping to survey the registered students soon, a few weeks before the semester, to gauge their interest and hopefully pave the way for a positive reception to WP assignments. Would you be willing to serve as an online ambassador for the course? See Wikipedia:Education program/Ambassadors. You could then be listed on the course page as a volunteer for the course. In any case… Happy 2015 CE back at ya! :) ProfGray ( talk) 01:05, 1 January 2015 (UTC)

Sorry, FO, like you both, for your engaging manners, passion for your ideas, contrasting styles, not to mention energy and rhetorical talent. I'm reminded of a children's story where two aristocratic protagonists, one of the two being unaware of their birthright, grow up side by side, battling as they go… wherein the author closes the story with "…and the two married [forgive, if perceived as an anachronism, it is in the story]… so they could fight more conveniently."

I was tempted to approve it and then AfD it at once, so I am glad you noticed it. If you take it to AfD I will remain neutral as the accepting WP:AFC reviewer.

Why the Talen Energy article does not fall under WP:NOTCRYSTAL guidelines.
  • The event is verifiable – numerous reliable independent secondary sources have commented.
  • The event is noteworthy – large company noted in mainstream news.
  • The event will almost certainly to take place – most analysts expect 2nd quarter 2015 completion; no speculation here.
  • There is no undue bias
  • There is no attempt of advertising
  • The event is already in progress – offices exist, a CEO has been named. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission has granted conditional approval.
  • There is no OR.

Oh wow, you are THAT David Eppstein, the famous mathematician! I wrote about you on Quora, see here: Ellie Kesselman's answer to Who are some of the active Wikipedians who are famous enough to have their own entry on Wikipedia? I am Ellie Kesselman ;o) You actually appeared twice, but someone collapsed the earlier answer. I also read your blog on LiveJournal. I like your periodic arXiv highlight entries. In my Quora answer, I used a photograph of you that I found in the collapsed answer, but I don't know if it is a copyvio. If you would like to provide another BIGGER photo, that would be great. My answer, i.e. YOU, is the only correct one, other than Jimmy Wales. All the rest are just frequent editors. You are actually notable outside of Wikipedia!
As for that template spam, it looks a lot better now! The reason why I noticed it was because I was trying to remove all the white space in the Triple Bar article, just prior to the references. I still see that there, even after your edit. It isn't a big deal of course, but it is a little odd. Any ideas, or should we just leave it alone?

Request for assistance on AfC submission by RevengeOfTheRobots

Im trying to submit an article and it's been rejected two times. The first time I understand. However the second one seems more like a bias opinion with nothing really concrete. For example the line when stated like an advertisement. There's no real clarity to what that means or how that conclusion was came about. Lastly, when it was said not just articles created by the creator. Well obviously I did not create the articles that are referenced in the content. Im wondering how this person came to the notion that I wrote the content that this article is linking back to you? Def need some assistance.

hello,

in your edit from 2015 https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Baltic_Dry_Index&diff=695873121&oldid=695492199 you've removed a mention of data vendor Macrobond, while left other Bloomberg and Thomson Reuters. can i ask you to reconsider / revert that edit? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pqd ( talkcontribs) 10:48, 9 August 2016 (UTC)

Re: MyWOT talk page

I undid my contribution to the talk page, because a WOT moderator seemed to have evidence of this "TOW Software" being WOT, and I found some evidence on Google too.

As for the claim in July TOW went out of business, the only thing I noticed on WOT was they moved the servers from the Finnish ISP Nebula OY to the Amazon cloud, triggering weird bugs, as well as poor performance for a while. — Preceding unsigned comment added by BFeely ( talkcontribs) 12:25, 6 November 2016 (UTC)

No offense. But why won't you folks let me bring that article in line (as much as possible) with the others? United States presidential election, 2012 & the others before it, have Elected President. PS - Will I have to change all 57 other infoboxes to President-elect, so to make them all consistent? GoodDay ( talk) 21:33, 13 November 2016 (UTC)

Hi GoodDay. As of now, Obama and previous presidents were elected presidents, since the electoral college is completed for those elections. At the moment, Trump has the official status of president-elect. Also, I don't want people to keep editing the article, implying that the election results are uncertain in any way. Trump IS the elected president of the United States. Some of the other editors were writing that Trump was "projected" to win! That makes it seem like the election isn't over yet, or that there remains some uncertainty of the status of the outcome.
By the way, I am not happy with the person who keeps on reverting your changes to the electoral college count of 306 and lowers it to 200-something. I am going to comment on the talk page about that. You are correct. That other user is not, and has reverted at least 3 times today on the electoral college vote count for Trump.-- FeralOink ( talk) 21:43, 13 November 2016 (UTC)
He's going to continue to be President-elect after the Electoral College votes, as well. I put Projected Elected President as a compromise & also because the Electoral Votes are listed a projected. IMHO, the bottom of the infobox should be Elected President per the numerious sources. GoodDay ( talk) 21:46, 13 November 2016 (UTC)
GoodDay, tell me what you mean by the other 57 infoboxes please? I'm sorry, but I just noticed that you added that now. Do mean for the US presidential election 2016 article, or for the other articles on presidential elections? Those other election infoboxes should stay the same. Only this article will change. Unless I have misunderstood you. Thank you.-- FeralOink ( talk) 21:49, 13 November 2016 (UTC)
The 57 others: United States presidential election, 1788 to United States presidential election, 2012 which use Elected President. The 2016 article should do the same per vast number of sources. GoodDay ( talk) 21:51, 13 November 2016 (UTC)
Correct, GoodDay, those 57 others ARE "Elected Presidents". They should remain as they are. Obama and previous presidents were elected presidents, since the electoral college is completed for those elections. Trump is the president-elect until he assumes office on January 17, 2016. You are correct that he is not the president even after the electoral college vote. But he IS the president-elect now, and all those other past presidents are correctly noted as "Elected President".-- FeralOink ( talk) 21:56, 13 November 2016 (UTC)
Thus the reason I put Projected Elected President. It's projected that the Electoral college will elect Donald Trump president. As for the title President-elect, Trump will continue to use that title up until he takes office on January 20, 2017. GoodDay ( talk) 22:03, 13 November 2016 (UTC)

Discretionary sanctions alert

This message contains important information about an administrative situation on Wikipedia. It does not imply any misconduct regarding your own contributions to date.

Please carefully read this information:

The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding all edits about, and all pages related to post-1932 politics of the United States and closely related people, 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 that 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.

New Page Review needs your help

Hi FeralOink,

As an AfC reviewer you're probably aware that a new user right has been created for patrolling new pages (you might even have been granted the right already, and admins have it automatically).

Since July there has been a very serious backlog at Special:NewPagesFeed of over 14,000 pages, by far the worst since 2011, and we need an all out drive to get this back down to just a few hundred that can be easily maintained in the future. Unlike AfC, these pages are already in mainspace, and the thought of what might be there is quite scary. There are also many good faith article creators who need a simple, gentle push to the Tea House or their pages converted to Draft rather than being deleted.

Although New Page Reviewing can occasionally be somewhat more challenging than AfC, the criteria for obtaining the right are roughly the same. The Page Curation tool is even easier to use than the Helper Script, so it's likely that most AfC reviewers already have more than enough knowledge for the task of New Page Review.

It is hoped that AfC reviewers will apply for this right at WP:PERM and lend a hand. You'll need to have read the page at WP:NPR and the new tutorial.

Draft:Devsisters resubmitted

Hi, FeralOink! As per your request, I've replaced most of the Twitter and Facebook citings with other sources, with one exception: The discontinuation of the game OvenBreak 2, which was only announced on the official Facebook page. The draft text says "Discontinuation of service announced" instead of "servide discontinued", so the self-source reference might be acceptable for that?

@Editor from Bonn 87.156.235.113 Sigh, I was replying to YOUR responses to MY previous comments. That was awhile ago.

FO, I have been working a bit on the Fred Trump article, after some citation issues were brought to my attention.
