Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference[edit]

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer have them marked as minor by default.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you are familiar with the contents of WP:MINOR, and believe that it is still beneficial to the encyclopedia to have all your edits marked as such by default, then this discussion will give you the details you need to continue with this functionality indefinitely. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 19:34, 14 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Post[edit]

Apologies, Lore. Thanks for doing that. "Technically", you're not allowed to 'sign' for someone else--although that's exactly what I would have done. There's actually a template which you're 'supposed' to use {{unsigned|Ocaasi}}. Notifying the user after was the best thing you could do. Thanks again, Ocaasi ^c 20:50, 3 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

AR[edit]

I think there's a reasonable consensus for those titles, although OL and MBJ are finding 3.4 (the homosexuality one) to be tricky. At the least, we should make all of the changes that are no a problem. In fact, let's do that first. Change everything except 3.4 and 4 (racism).

I'd like to check about adding the those 2, and suggest that they are best alternative which has consensus--and are not permanent, meaning OL and MBJ can always try and push for something shorter or more direct in the future.

If that doesn't work, perhaps we should have a final WP:RfC, which an admin would close, or just ask an admin to close based on the discussion. Though I've tried to be impartial, I'm not uninvolved one might be helpful/necessary.

Neat barnstar yep, thanks.

On a similar note, while I don't feel the article is finished in terms of addressing the controversy and criticism, you've been a very good example of trying to remain neutral about a very personal subject.

National Archives ExtravaSCANza[edit]

You are invited to the National Archives ExtravaSCANza, taking place every day next week from January 4–7, Wednesday to Saturday, in College Park, Maryland (Washington, DC metro area). Come help me cap off my stint as Wikipedian in Residence at the National Archives with one last success!

The event is being held on multiple days, and in the evenings and weekend, so that as many locals and out-of-towners from nearby regions¹ as possible can come. Please join us!

¹ Wikipedians from DC, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Newark, New York City, and Pittsburgh have been invited.

File source problem with File:Our Injustice, Vietnam-lge.jpg[edit]

Thank you for uploading File:Our Injustice, Vietnam-lge.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Eeekster (talk) 01:49, 21 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

A minor change to DRN[edit]

Hi there, you're getting this message as you are involved in a case at the Dispute Resolution Noticeboard which is currently open. Today DRN has undergone a big move resulting in individual cases on subpages as opposed to all the content on one page. This is to inform you that your case is now back on the DRN board and you will be able to 'watch' the subpage it's located on. Thanks, Cabe 6403 ^{(Talk•Sign)} 13:19, 18 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

DRN Aesthetic Realism[edit]

Hello-I am trying to fix the way that my user-name is listed on the DRN volunteer list. That could be what is causing the problem because I was listed there as an IP editor which the earwig bot I am assuming did not like. As far as any attacking statements, I am sorry if there is anything in your DRN that looks like that, which would be my fault whether I made the statements or not so I apologize for all of it.
I hope that you can understand how complex the article appears for someone who is unfamiliar with the subject. Also I cannot recommend that the article be subjected to special rules known only to editors who have already worked on the article. I am trying to approach the DRN and your request as an attempt to work with the established guidelines of WP, and the only way that I see that your request could be satisfied is by requesting and imposing page protections to the article. I am taking into consideration the long history of collaboration between editors there.
If you really want to "fire" me as your volunteer, you have that option, but I am still willing to try and help with the DRN, even-though as a reader and editor I have made statements that I personally do not like the article in its the current state. I'm pretty sure that it goes without saying that I have no objection to the the 38 edits that were made, as my recommendation there was that any single objectionable edit be discussed on the article talk page. I was unable to discern which if any were a problem since that has not been done as far as I could see so I assumed that the question was the "special rules" request.TeeVeeed (talk) 13:23, 19 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

ArbCom elections are now open![edit]

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page. For the Election committee, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 14:02, 24 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Sunday June 5, 12-5pm: Women in Jewish History Edit-a-thon

Join us for a full Sunday of social Wikipedia editing at the Center for Jewish History (drop-in any time!), during which we will create, update, and improve Wikipedia articles pertaining to Women in Jewish History.

All are invited, with no specialized knowledge of the subject or Wikipedia editing experience required.

Expanding coverage of Jewish women on Wikipedia makes these women and their creations discoverable, addresses the gender bias on Wikipedia in a positive way, and works to correct imbalances archival collecting practice and institutional projects that have historically silenced women's narratives.

A training session on editing Wikipedia will be held at 12:30 pm. Experienced Wikipedians will be on-hand to assist throughout the day. Please bring your laptop and power cord; we will have library resources, WiFi, and a list of suggested topics on hand.

Light refreshments will be provided.

Make edits! Ask questions! Be bold!

Time: 12:00 pm – 5:00 pm

Location: Center for Jewish History, 15 West 16th Street (between 5th and 6th Avenues), New York City, New York 10011
