because someone is an employee of the Wikimedia Foundation and has published about WP they are "automatically" notable?--Wuerzele (talk) 04:58, 29 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hey folks. I'm the subject of this article. I just wanted to call your attention to some substantial new coverage about one of the projects I am leading. See m:Research:Revision scoring as a service/Media (~100 articles in 11 languages). --EpochFail (talk • contribs) 20:32, 12 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Thanks, I have added a sentence about the AI. Couldn't find a name of the engine itself in the article, though.

  • Hey
    Everymorning. Sorry for the late reply. I purposefully don't watch this page so that I don't get tempted to try patrolling it ^_^. The engine is called m:Objective Revision Evaluation Service (ORES). A few of the articles say the name explicitly -- for example, this wired one does: http://www.wired.com/2015/12/wikipedia-is-using-ai-to-expand-the-ranks-of-human-editors/ --EpochFail (talk • contribs) 21:55, 31 January 2016 (UTC)[reply

    • Thanks. I have added the name of ORES to the article.

I just saved Special:Diff/746822779 to fix a link to my webpage. I have a COI. I'm the subject of the article. If you'd rather I hadn't done this, let me know. --EpochFail (talk • contribs) 19:52, 29 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I got a request from Pigsonthewing to upload a short recording of my voice to commons. I'm not sure if this belongs in the article, but just in case, I thought I'd link to it here. See File:Aaron Halfaker.voice recording.oga. --EpochFail (talk • contribs) 15:55, 5 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. I've added it to the article. For background, see

I'm the subject of the article! I have a COI! Take what I say with a grain of salt.
Hey folks. I thought I'd call your attention to this article from my alma mater's comms dept: https://www.css.edu/undergraduate/outcomes/alumni-success-stories/new-frontiers.html It might be useful for sourcing some material related to my time at St. Scholastica. Maybe not. Either way, here it is.

Hey folks! I thought I'd call your attention to a blog post from my old research lab. It makes some statements about the work I do with them and my official title at the University of Minnesota ("senior scientist"). See https://grouplens.org/blog/friends-with-benefits/ Take from that what you will :) --EpochFail (talk • contribs) 19:43, 28 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The subject of this article has recently changed jobs and is now at Microsoft. Could an editor look into it and change the page accordingly? Chtnnh (talk) 06:57, 25 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
