Wikimedia DC invites you to join us for a special WikiSalon at the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial Library's Digital Commons Center. We will gather at 3 PM on Sunday, October 13, 2013 to discuss an important topic: what can Wikipedia and the DC area do to help each other? We hope to hear your thoughts and suggestions; if you have an idea you would like to pursue, please let us know and we will help!

Following the WikiSalon, we will be having dinner at a nearby restaurant, Ella's Wood Fired Pizza.

If you're interested in attending, please sign up at the event page. We look forward to seeing you there! Kirill ^[talk] 02:13, 8 October 2013 (UTC)

Andrew, are you still working on this? The hold is not indefinite, and if the necessary changes cannot be done fairly quickly then it is questionable whether they are minor. So this should be wrapped up one way or the other fairly soon. ~ J. Johnson (JJ) (talk) 22:01, 20 August 2013 (UTC)

Hello? Please let me know immediately if we can wrap this up in a day or two. Otherwise I will proceed with a fail. ~ J. Johnson (JJ) (talk) 18:56, 24 August 2013 (UTC)

I am getting back on my feet after my office flooded. Fortunately I maintain online backups of all my files, so I am currently downloading the research I have previously done on the cable and will catch up on the the GA recommendations. Andrew³²⁷ 12:39, 26 August 2013 (UTC)

Ooh, ouch. Sorry to hear about that. I see you're whipping up a storm (no connection with the flooding??) on the article — go boy, go!! It looks like you're shaping it up pretty good. If you have any problems with the citations go ahead and leave them for me to fix. I'll wait for the edit lock to go away. ~ J. Johnson (JJ) (talk) 21:17, 26 August 2013 (UTC)

Congratulations, it's a pass. Not perfect, but I think you can be pleased with the result. And I can feel confident no one will complain I have passed junk! It would be interesting to know the rest of the story, but that will take some research. Perhaps this article will prompt someone to find out. ~ J. Johnson (JJ) (talk) 22:26, 24 September 2013 (UTC)

Thank you! I filed a Freedom of Information Act request with the Navy for more information, so sometime next year I might have a better picture of the cable's history. I really appreciate your help. Andrew³²⁷ 19:39, 18 October 2013 (UTC)

Hi

Unfortunately the Robotics project does not use C class on articles. I have had to spend some time going through our new C class articles to correct them, and noticed a few of them were you whilst using this tool.

Would you mind not assessing Robotics articles as C class, thanks. Chaosdruid (talk) 19:59, 15 September 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads up, I had no idea that the Wikiproject didn't use C class. Any idea why that is the case? Andrew³²⁷ 19:39, 18 October 2013 (UTC)

Hi, I've added several citations to papers and projects which use jblas. Could you take a look at it and see if that clears up lack of citation and notability issues. If not could you provide feed back as to why not? Thanks!

Pabeles (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 01:36, 26 September 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for contacting me. The problem with the article is that most of its sources do not outright say "JBLAS is a notable software package". Andrew³²⁷ 19:39, 18 October 2013 (UTC)

Is it notable? It have only one review.--Mishae (talk) 17:30, 26 September 2013 (UTC)

I recommend trying to find at very least two sources for anything that you want to put on Wikipedia. Andrew³²⁷ 19:39, 18 October 2013 (UTC)

Can u tell me what is your problem with this song?! and remember i am the one who control Sevendust page and their stuff including singles, albums and etc. You can find it out by checking my contribution.--T.o.a.b (talk)11:34 pm, 01 october 2013 (UTC)

I have no problem with the song, it's just that it hasn't received enough coverage from

reliable sources to justify its own article. There was a discussion and the consensus of editors was to make the song's article into a redirect. `Andrew³²⁷

I have added category to article. The company works in automotive industry. And adding links to article from relevant pages on Wikipedia. After this, will the orphan label be removed? Thanks :)Can.kilic1981 (talk) 14:18, 7 October 2013 (UTC)

Huggle 3

Hey Andrewman327! I am Petrb, one of core developers of Huggle, the antivandalism tool, which you are beta testing (according to https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Huggle/Members#Beta_testers). I am happy to announce that Huggle 3 is ready for some testing. You can read more about it at WP:Huggle/Huggle3_Beta. Please keep in mind that this is a development version and it is not ready for regular use. That means you must:

• Watch your contribs - when anything happens you didn't want, fix it and report a bug
• Frequently checkout source code and build latest version, we change it a lot

If you find any problem with a feature that is supposed to work perfectly, please let us know. Some features are not ready yet, it is listed in known problems on Huggle3 beta page, you don't need to report these - we know it! So, that's it. Have fun testing and please let us know about any problems, either using bugzilla @ http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/ or #huggle ^connect. Please respond to my talk page, I am not going to watch your talk page. Thank you Petrb (talk) 10:56, 14 November 2013 (UTC)

Hey Andrewman327, how are you? I am Petrb, one of huggle developers, and you are currently subscribed as a beta tester of huggle on meta (meta:Huggle/Members. You may not have noticed, but this week I released first beta precompiled installers for ubuntu and microsoft windows! Wikipedia:Huggle/Huggle3_Beta has all the links you need. So if you can, please download it, test it and report all bugs that is really what we need now. Don't forgot that as it's just a beta it's unstable and there are some known issues. Be carefull!

Request for advice on a request for a comment

Andrewman327, I took a look at Wikipedia:Feedback request service from the bottom of the religion and philosophy section and up and your account was the first I found which was both still active but didn't seem to already be involved with another RfC.
Don't worry, I'm not requesting much as I didn't discuss you specifically with the other party yet. What I wanted to ask - if you have the time - is how we can better publicize the RfC and get more feedback. The RfC is about including a person on a list of adherents to a religious movement and it can be found at Talk:Quranism#RfC:_Should_Chiragh_Ali_be_removed_from_the_list_of_advocates_of_Quranism.3F.
Now, I checked Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment#Publicizing_an_RfC and I'm not really sure what to make of it. Village Pump seems like it can't provide any help, because this isn't about proposing new policies or existing changing ones; it's about article content, and none of the Village Pump forums seem specifically geared for that. The noticeboards might not be appropriate because while there were allegations of some POV pushing and OR, we obviously don't agree on who is responsible for that so I don't know how to fairly list the RfC on those noticeboards. I went to a WikiProject on Islam but those all seem defunct.
Based on your experience with RfCs, can you recommend to us more efficient ways of publicizing it so that we can garner more than three comments? MezzoMezzo (talk) 06:17, 24 December 2013 (UTC)

Hi Andrew327, thank you for your contribution to the RfC on Justin Bieber's behaviour and legal issues. Some users have posted that the RfC is currently a mess, and that we need to be very explicit in what we agree to include and what we don't. As such, I have created a second survey, which cuts the content into points. Could you take the time to post your opinion on each point, whether you think it should be included or not, or summarized, or changed. It will be a bit tedious but we need your detailed input to move forward. Thanks again. starship.paint (talk | ctrb) 05:20, 15 February 2014 (UTC)

Hello Andrew327, sorry to bother you again about Bieber. Unfortunately, only 5 of the 16 editors who posted their opinion in the General survey part of Bieber's RfC posted again in the point-by-point survey. Progress simply isn't made - could you help to post in the responses to above points subsection to move it forward? Thank you very much. starship.paint (talk | ctrb) 08:22, 4 March 2014 (UTC)

@ gnome,

• I had really forgotten to mention some appropriate sources.
• I feel quite sure in English grammar but not always in style. And I tend to produce sentences with many adverbials, but I don't like to use too many commata in one sentence.
• If I write any article about a region, the language of which is not the language of the article, I prefer to present some native terms of the region presented to readers.

I think, my text is not too hard to read to eliminate my mistakes within a few minutes.

I'll read your corrections with interest (There is a proverb like, "If somebody shows you your mistakes, consider him your best friend")--Ulamm (talk) 21:13, 28 March 2014 (UTC)

I'm not Andrewman, but the way of linking ist quite simple: [[((target article))|((linked word in your article))]]. The linked word in your article may be a shortened form of the full name. But you can also link "his father" to the name of the father. If people had many first names, possibly the lemma (title) of the article does not contain the real full name. If you link to an object that exists in various places, you ought to show the readers, if you have linked to that special object, e.g. Lincoln Cathedral or to the general term cathedral.--Ulamm (talk) 09:08, 31 March 2014 (UTC)

We need your help testing latest huggle

Hello,

I am sending you this message because you listed yourself on meta:Huggle/Members as a beta tester. We desperately need attention of testers, because since we resolved all release blockers, we are ready to release first official version of huggle 3! Before that happens, it would be nice if you could test it so that we can make sure there are no issues with it. You can download it packaged for your operating system (see Wikipedia:Huggle/Huggle3_Beta) or you can of course build it yourself, see https://github.com/huggle/huggle3-qt-lx for that. Don't forget to use always latest version, there is no auto-update message for beta versions!

Should you find any issue, please report it to wikimedia bugzilla, that is a central place for huggle bugs, where we look at them. That is i mportant, if you find a bug and won't report it, we can't fix it. Thank you for your work on this, if you have any questions, please send me a message on my talk page, I won't be looking for responses here. Thanks, Petrb (talk) 15:08, 10 April 2014 (UTC)

Please leave a message on the talk page if you have any problems, suggestions, would like review of an article, need suggestions for articles to edit, or would like some collaboration when editing!
• You can tag the talk pages of relevant articles with {{WikiProject Physiology|class=|importance=}} with your assessment of the article class and importance alongwith. Please note that WP:Physiology, WP:Physio, WP:Phy can be used interchangeably.
• You will make a big difference to the quality of information by adding
  reliable sources. Sourcing physiology articles is essential and makes a big difference to the quality of articles. And, while you're at it, why not use a book
  to source information, which can source multiple articles at once!
• We try and use a standard way of arranging the content in each article.

• Why not try and strive to create a

Someone suggested at the Village Pump that I boldly create Wikipedia:Extant Organizations/Noticeboard, a noticeboard to discuss articles about organizations that may be subject to non-neutral editing. Basically it's the corporate version of BLPN, where both adverts and attack pages can be brought to the community for broader scrutiny. Except, obviously this board does not relate to a specific policy like BLPN does, except NPOV, V, etc. (though it could refer to this essay I wrote or something). I noticed you participated in the prior village pump discussion that led to consensus for Template:COI editnotice, which is now widely used. Although this noticeboard is not COI-related, I thought you might have an interest in this as well, in whether the noticeboard should be kept and/or in participating in it generally.

Hi Andrewman327, we are to release a new major version of huggle, but we did receive almost no feedback from our beta testing team, which you are a part of (see https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Huggle/Members). It would be of a great help if you could download it (if you have windows, all you need to do is getting http://tools.wmflabs.org/huggle/files/huggle3.1.0beta.exe and putting it to a folder where you have installed huggle) and test it. You can always get a help with making it @ #huggle ^connect!

Major changes:

• Multisite support - you can now log in to unlimited number of wikis in 1 huggle session and get a huge queue of all edits made to these wikis. This is good for smaller projects which gets overlooked often.
• Ranged diffs - you can select multiple revisions and get a huge diff that display all changes done to them.
• Fixes of most of bug reports we had so far

In case you found a bug, please report it to bugzilla: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/buglist.cgi?product=Huggle&list_id=147663 thank you! Petrb (talk) 10:06, 30 July 2014 (UTC)

Hello, WP:The Wikipedia Library has record of you being approved for access to JSTOR through the TWL partnership described at WP:JSTOR . You should have recieved a Wikipedia email User:The Interior or User:Ocaasi sent several weeks ago with instructions for access, including a link to a form collecting information relevant to that access. Please find that email, and follow those instructions. If you were not approved, did not recieve the email, or are having some other concern or question, please respond to this message at Wikipedia talk:JSTOR/Approved. Thanks much, Sadads (talk) 21:23, 5 August 2014 (UTC) Note: You are recieving this message from an semi-automatically generated list. If you think you were incorrectly contacted, make sure to note that at Wikipedia talk:JSTOR/Approved.

After reviewing my own objections further, I realized my key objection this quote was really missed - the quotation is not about Scientology. It contains no information about Scientology. It only makes a cultural reference to Scientology that is based on internet-propagated mythology.

The quotation itself contains deeply flawed logic, but the mere fact that it is not about Scientology - even though the source article is about Scientology - should alone be sufficient grounds to remove it.

I would be willing to write an alternative, correctly researched passage the presents true information about Scientology services and their costs, if you feel that removing this passage would leave a hole. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vantorrance (talk • contribs) 19:18, 27 August 2014 (UTC)

See you at the Laurel Pool Room, 9th and Main Street, Laurel, MD on Thursday, September 11, 2014 at 7:00 PM EST. See http://www.meetup.com/Wikimedia-DC/events/205494212/ for more information. Geraldshields11 (talk) 02:13, 6 September 2014 (UTC)

The WikiSalon is a special meetup usually held during the first and third full weeks of every month, from 7 PM to 9 PM. It's an informal gathering of Wikimedia enthusiasts, who come together to discuss Wikimedia wikis and collaboratively edit. There's no set agenda, and guests are welcome to recommend articles for the group to edit or edit on their own.

If you're coming by Metro, the closest station is Dupont Circle (on the Red Line). If you're driving, a lot of parking opens up downtown after 6:30 PM, so finding a parking space (even a free one) should be easy. Once you've found the building, go to Cove on the second floor. We will be in the conference room.

When: Wednesday, September 17, 2014 at 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM

Where: The Cove, Dupont Circle, 1730 Connecticut Avenue NW, 2nd floor, 20009, DC

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited 1989 DC Prostitute Expulsion, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page 14th Street Bridge. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hey Andrewman327! You are receiving this message because you are subscribed at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Huggle/Members#Beta_testers

I have recently launched a new downloads for beta testers that contains nightly builds of huggle, eg. versions that are built every day from our master branch and contains latest huggle. These builds are currently provided only for Windows and Ubuntu. You can find them here: http://huggle.wmflabs.org/builds/

Please keep in mind that these don't have any automatic updates and if you download and start using nightly build, you will need to update it yourself! So don't get yourself to running old version, it's possible to install both stable and nightly huggle, which is what I suggest.

Andrew - I am concerned about your repeat gutting of the uBiome page. I looked at the history, and most of your edits are removing content. It's not going to make the article better to cut out well cited content. I know you have good intentions, but I think adding the controversy as you see it to the content instead of cutting it out is the most constructive thing here. I revered your rollback, and if you could expand on that version it would be appreciated. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Knightrob (talk • contribs) 00:39, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

Hello everyone! I was just working on responding to a couple bug reports for a script that I worked up as part of a request from this project, and I noticed that only a couple people (who weren't even on this mailing list) are actually using the script. A little history on the script: In March of 2014, Jim Cartar came to my user talk page and said he needed some help in acquiring a script for a backlog drive that he was working on that could keep track of and score deOrphanings for a scored backlog drive. I took that request to the project's talk page (BackLog Drive "DO" (De-Orphaning) script proposal) and there was near unanimous support for this. I thought about the proposal and decided the best way to do it was to build a new script (which is still no where near as comprehensive as Manishearth's OrphanTabs) and build into it a mechanism that will make BLD scoring easy.

What I'm wondering at this point is, since there appears to be only two people using the script, should I continue to develop this script with a goal of using it for scoring BLDs or just debug the existing script and leave it at that. Thanks for any replies or comments.

If you wish to opt-out of future mailings, please remove yourself from the mailing list or alternatively to opt-out of all massmessage mailings, you may add Category:Opted-out of message delivery to your user talk page.

Since you were the one to place the notability tag on WeRateDogs, I'm inviting you to take a second look at the article and its references. When it was first created (by a brand-new user), I thought it was just another advert/promo piece, but turns out this Twitter account has received significant media coverage, both because of its popularity and the Twitter copyright and suspension issues it has raised: Washington Post, Fox News, UK Daily Mail, Vice, etc. I've expanded the article a bit and added references, but don't want to remove the notability tag without checking in with you first.

Hello

Our team at the Wikimedia Foundation is working on a project to improve the ease-of-use and productivity of wiki talk pages. As a Teahouse host, I can imagine you’ve run into challenges explaining talk pages to first-time participants.

We want all contributors to be able to talk to each other on the wikis – to ask questions, to resolve differences, to organize projects and to make decisions. Communication is essential for the depth and quality of our content, and the health of our communities. We're currently leading a global consultation on how to improve talk pages, and we're looking for people that can report on their experiences using (or helping other people to use) wiki talk pages. We'd like to invite you to participate in the consultation, and invite new users to join too.

We thank you in advance for your participation and your help.

I have a question: how are you processing and analyzing the data? Are you using a programming language to assist in processing? If you're using Python, I could probably just create and send you a simple script to filter the logging database dump to only contain thanks data; otherwise, it should probably be pretty straightforward to figure something else out.

@Retro: I work with Python, R, and SQL. I'd really appreciate any help, including source code. Andrew³²⁷ 01:13, 17 July 2019 (UTC)
