Welcome to Wikipedia from Elen of the RoadsHi, OpenInfoForAll. I welcome you to Wikipedia! Thank you for all of your edits. I hope you like editing here and being part of Wikipedia! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); when you save the page, this will turn into your name and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or put You seem to be new, so I've left you a welcome. I note you seem to have taken up vandal patrolling - this is valuable work, as the encyclopaedia is subject to a tide of rubbish. One tip I would suggest is that when checking an edit that is a bit different to the usual replacing every third word with 'penis' or similar, to look at the users other contributions first, to be sure that the edit is vandalism. Automated tools are great, but sometimes they just encourage one to go a bit too fast. If you need any help or advice, please leave a note on my talkpage. --Elen of the Roads (talk) 21:59, 27 April 2011 (UTC)

Filing at WP:RPPHi there! Your edit that tried to tidy up the completed protection requests unfortunately caused some problems for the script that some of us admins use to clerk the page automatically. Your edit reordered the sections (requests, unprotection, edits to protected pages and fulfilled) which made the script created duplicates in trying to fix it and it all got rather screwy. Anyway, I've fixed it now, but just go careful with clerking on that page because it's easy to make a mistake. Thanks for trying though, don't let me put you off!

FilterHey, thanks for getting on DJ Nihilist. I have another request: we have an IP hopper (referred to as the Roman vandal, or the RC vandal) whose edits are exemplified here. I have a list of IPs that have been used, User:Drmies/Roman Catholic?, that a few users help out at. My question: can you find a way to filter these edits out? The above linked contributions have typical edit summaries that they simply copy every time, from one IP to another. Your help is much appreciated. Drmies (talk) 05:15, 6 October 2011 (UTC)

Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. AIRcorn (talk) 02:37, 7 October 2011 (UTC) NYC PRI will be glad to review it, but it may take me several days. Thanks, Ruhrfisch ><>°° 15:35, 1 October 2011 (UTC)

Glenfarclas (talk) 07:43, 17 October 2011 (UTC) Women's history editathonHey - Sorry for the late notice, but since you have yourself tagged as living in the Bay Area, I thought you might appreciate notification that we’re having an event Saturday! It’ll be held at Hoyt Hall, an all-women's house of the Berkeley Student Cooperative from 3 to 6 pm tomorrow. The main event page is here. Anyone is welcome to show up, but we’re expecting a significant number of people to come who have literally never edited Wikipedia before. If you’re an experienced Wikipedian who would be able to provide useful help to some of the newbies, your presence would be especially appreciated (and it might be a good idea for you to show up at 2 or 2:30 instead of three. Thanks, Kevin Gorman (talk) 02:06, 6 April 2013 (UTC) I’m AWB’ing this message to all Wikipedians who have tagged themselves in the bay area. I’m sorry if the message isn’t of interest to you; feel free to delete it. I’ll be unlikely to send future messages in a similar way, but if really don’t want to receive future messages of this sort, please let me know. Hi, The Right Stuff June 2018 June 2018

ARBITRATION REPORT
Russian Agents Editing at American Politics?
By Lionelt After a series of unfortunate events largely self-created, bureaucrat and admin Andrevan was the subject of an Arbitration case for conduct unbecoming. Prior to the case getting underway Andrevan resigned as bureaucrat and admin. A widely discussed incident was when he suggested that some editors he described as "pro-Trump" were paid Russian agents. This resulted in a number of editors from varied quarters denouncing the allegations and voicing support for veteran editors including Winkelvi and the notorious MONGO. Editors who faced Enforcement action include SPECIFICO (no action), Factchecker atyourservice (three month topic ban ARBAPDS), Netoholic (no action) and Anythingyouwant (indef topic ban ARBAPDS).

IN THE MEDIA
Breitbart Versus Wikipedia
By Lionelt Breitbart News, in response to Facebook's decision to use Wikipedia as a source to fight fake news, has declared war on our beloved pedia. The article in Haaretz describes the Facebook arrangement as Wikipedia's "greatest test in years" as well as a "massive threat" to the encyclopedia that anyone can edit. Breitbart's targeting of Wikipedia has resulted in an "epic battle" with respect to editing at the Breitbart article. The article has also recently experienced a dramatic increase in traffic with 50,000 visitors according to Haaretz. There is no love lost between Breitbart and Wikipedia where editors at the Reliable Sources Noticeboard have criticized the news websites unreliability and have compared it to The Daily Mail.

DISCUSSION REPORT
WikiProject Conservatism Comes Under Fire
By Lionelt WikiProject Conservatism was a topic of discussion at the Administrators' Noticeboard/Incident (AN/I). Objective3000 started a thread where he expressed concern regarding the number of RFC notices posted on the Discussion page suggesting that such notices "could result in swaying consensus by selective notification." Several editors participated in the relatively abbreviated six hour discussion. The assertion that the project is a "club for conservatives" was countered by editors listing examples of users who "profess no political persuasion." It was also noted that notification of WikiProjects regarding ongoing discussions is explicitly permitted by the WP:Canvassing guideline. At one point the discussion segued to feedback about The Right Stuff. Member SPECIFICO wrote: "One thing I enjoy about the Conservatism Project is the handy newsletter that members receive on our talk pages." Atsme praised the newsletter as "first-class entertainment...BIGLY...first-class...nothing even comes close...it's amazing." Some good-natured sarcasm was offered with Objective3000 observing, "Well, they got the color right" and MrX's followup, "Wow. Yellow is the new red." Admin Oshwah closed the thread with the result "definitely not an issue for ANI" and directing editors to the project Discussion page for any further discussion. Editor's note: originally the design and color of The Right Stuff was chosen to mimic an old, paper newspaper.

RECENT RESEARCH
Research About AN/I
By Lionelt Reprinted in part from the April 26, 2018 issue of The Signpost; written by Zarasophos
Out of over one hundred questioned editors, only twenty-seven (27%) are happy with the way reports of conflicts between editors are handled on the Administrators' Incident Noticeboard (AN/I), according to a recent survey . The survey also found that dissatisfaction has varied reasons including "defensive cliques" and biased administrators as well as fear of a "boomerang effect" due to a lacking rule for scope on AN/I reports. The survey also included an analysis of available quantitative data about AN/I. Some notable takeaways:
In the wake of Zarasophos' article editors discussed the AN/I survey at The Signpost and also at AN/I. Ironically a portion of the AN/I thread was hatted due to "off-topic sniping." To follow-up the problems identified by the research project the Wikimedia Foundation Anti-Harassment Tools team and Support and Safety team initiated a discussion. You can express your thoughts and ideas here. (Discuss this story)Delivered: 09:27, 9 July 2018 (UTC) Orphaned non-free image File:Communitaslogo.png Thanks for uploading File:Communitaslogo.png.
