5416:), I have decided to leave to your own discretion if the matter is relevant enough to inform a wider audience already. I would appreciate if you could appraise if the Knowledge community you are more familiar with could have interest in testing group editing "on their own grounds" and with their own guidance. In a nutshell: it consists in editing pages as a group instead of as an individual. This social experiment might involve redefining some aspects of the workflow we are all used to, with the hope of creating a more friendly and collaborative environment since editing under a group umbrella creates less social exposure than traditional "individual editing". I send you this message also as a proof that the Inspire Campaign is already gearing up. As said I would appreciate of *you* just a comment on the talk page/endorsement of my 4856:– given it's powerful web presence and the audience that might find it. Oftentimes we simply omit information like this, even if true and supported by multiple independent sources, simply because there are actual legal concerns involved and it's not worth the risk and editorial disruption that goes with it. Naturally, having an article dedicated to this topic sounds like a bad idea. One can imagine the vandals, white-washers, POV-pushers, etc, that would constantly haunt the article. This is purely theoretical, though. Your article could turn out to be scot-free of disruption and well received by its readers. I just very much don't think it will. So, I would say move on to the many more exciting topics to write about. I would normally point you to our 1688: 1674: 4698:, where I see you've done some excellent work. The vast majority of your edits are in the mainspace. That's something we don't see enough, and it shows you are dedicated to what Knowledge is first and foremost – an encyclopedia. The community and our interactions with each other are important, but secondary. Maybe instead take a look at the number of page views on the articles you've created or the ones you've made contributions to. See how many people you've affected, how many people have read and valued your hard work. That's what really matters! So keep doing what you do, and worry not about your userpage :) 2590:. You were the admin that declined my rollback request and said I should try again in a few months. Thanks for complementing on my recent constructive contributions. I have a question. How do you get your talk page to have a box like yours or one similar. What about a box where you can say "welcome to my talk page!" or something like that. I only figured out how to get a small box for my talk page but it's no good. I want my talk page to look nice. Is there a page with boxes for talk pages? Please help me out if you can. Thanks a lot! 3418: 960: 437:

section discussing it made it sound like Simon was fully responsible and did it of his own accord and free will. This is untrue and to say that he did is defamation. You cannot defame living persons on their wikipedia pages. That is against the guidelines. Also, the section that described what happened with Simon's confession does not say that his coach was banned from USS for abuse. This is very important information and shows that Simon was a victim here. You cannot defame someone who is a victim.

The person who reviewed the entry would need to tag the appropriate WikiProject(s), and a bot could post to the WikiProject talk page. The other option is somehow having requested articles have their own page, which we could add categories for whichever WikiProjects apply. That way we can simply do like we do for AfC, where we use the 5147: 4742: 2479:

from other unconfirmed users. With the page semi'd one might consider Copperchloride's block beyond preventive, but weighing it all out I felt it was still justified. They are of course welcome to make an unblock request. Finally, with only two parties, I favour blocking over full-protection simply so that uninvolved editors can continue to edit. Hopefully that clears things up.

I'd say let's draft out a set of instructions for Wikiproject members to follow, indicating use of the notation templates.By the way, I managed to get a hold of Matty.

My next techy thing will probably be a bot of sorts, and if time provides I may be able to make a task to help with RA.

Hi, MusickAnimal. Thank you for tracking my edits. I am new at this, so I apologize for my lack of Wiki etiquette.

I semi-protected the page instead, which would likely have been done anyway given the repeated disruption

No worries, sorry I never got back to you! I was just looking over our original conversation – you said there were existing scripts used for the RA project? Could you point me to those? As far as building a new script from scratch, it's unlikely I'll be starting a new project like that for a while. I

As eloquent as it may be, I find this poem a bit saddening! First off, I believe (or would hope) the page view stats refer to unique visitors (so not just you). Perhaps not, but either way, having a low page view count is nothing to be ashamed of! Your userpage should not be a measure of your impact

Okay, I'm liking all of that, my concern is where to put them. The AfC-like process shows potential, but dealing with all of those pages would be a mess, every-time one got denied we'd have an useless page that would have to go through CSD (and nobody wants more of those), I think the best way to do

Well like I said I've been wanting to make a bot.

It would appear that you are familiar with a variety of tools offered to do edit analyses on Knowledge. I've been sent links to different analyses but when I went over to the labs page, I couldn't find any tools that looked like they provided the results that I've seen. Also, a lot of the tools

Hello and welcome to Knowledge! I unfortunately don't have the time to review your article at the moment, but you can hit the "Resubmit" button on your draft article to submit it for review again. I believe the biggest concern for your article is whether or not the subject meets our notability

What I'm looking for is a tool a) that analyzes the most frequent contributors to an article (I couldn't find this under Page Information) and also b) one that compares two editors to see what articles they have both edited. I know I've seen these analyses but I can't find how to create them.

Hi, MusickAnimal. Thank you for verifying my page, I am new at this, so I apologize for my lack of Wiki etiquette. Regarding the SysTools Software Pvt. Ltd. Page; I made some changes & also added reference link as suggested. Can you give some minutes from your precious time once again!

219: 5036:

Done. With school IPs I think it's acceptable to go by the history of disruption rather than recent activity. Exceeding a level four warning may not happen when the editing is this infrequent, but we can't just let it slide when there's been nothing but bad edits. However I

No problem. I wouldn't hesitate to block again, so long as you feel confident. I've controlled the block log of many an IP, I think not because I'm too harsh, but rather others aren't getting to it! We need more help at AIV during peak hours. Some of our big boys like

3725:. Just means they've seen it and are aware of it. I don't see them refactoring other's comments (making it seem like we said something else) so to go by the book there's no need to disable talk page access at this time, nor is there a need to keep reverting them 1410:

Low and behold there actually is a town called "Weed" in California. If your edit was in good intent, I apologize as I indeed thought it was vandalism. At any rate, the provided source says the subject is from Simi Valley, so we should stick with that. Thanks!

Hey MusikAnimal, I'm just wondering if you're interested in helping with a script for requested articles, I don't mean to pester you I know you're busy, I just want to find somebody else if you're not interested. Sorry for bringing this up again!
