I'm still here! :-)

Hello, Evil saltine …

Do you remember Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Eric Zaccar from back in '09? No? I'd forgotten it, too, until I stumbled across it while reviewing an old IP Talk page and and one of your archived Talk pages … I note that he now has an IMDb listing, but his newest film was still in production as of February's update.

Anywho, I just wanted to ping you that I'm still around. :-) Happy Editing! — 72.75.57.223 (talk · contribs) _{01:31, 8 July 2011 (UTC)}

MSU Interview

Dear Evil saltine,

My name is Jonathan Obar user:Jaobar, I'm a professor in the College of Communication Arts and Sciences at Michigan State University and a Teaching Fellow with the Wikimedia Foundation's Education Program. This semester I've been running a little experiment at MSU, a class where we teach students about becoming Wikipedia administrators. Not a lot is known about your community, and our students (who are fascinated by wiki-culture by the way!) want to learn how you do what you do, and why you do it. A while back I proposed this idea (the class) to the communityHERE, where it was met mainly with positive feedback. Anyhow, I'd like my students to speak with a few administrators to get a sense of admin experiences, training, motivations, likes, dislikes, etc. We were wondering if you'd be interested in speaking with one of our students.

So a few things about the interviews:

• Interviews will last between 15 and 30 minutes.
• Interviews can be conducted over skype (preferred), IRC or email. (You choose the form of communication based upon your comfort level, time, etc.)
• All interviews will be completely anonymous, meaning that you (real name and/or pseudonym) will never be identified in any of our materials, unless you give the interviewer permission to do so.
• All interviews will be completely voluntary. You are under no obligation to say yes to an interview, and can say no and stop or leave the interview at any time.
• The entire interview process is being overseen by MSU's institutional review board (ethics review). This means that all questions have been approved by the university and all students have been trained how to conduct interviews ethically and properly.

Bottom line is that we really need your help, and would really appreciate the opportunity to speak with you. If interested, please send me an email at obar@msu.edu (to maintain anonymity) and I will add your name to my offline contact list. If you feel comfortable doing so, you can post your nameHERE instead.

If you have questions or concerns at any time, feel free to email me at obar@msu.edu. I will be more than happy to speak with you.

Thanks in advance for your help. We have a lot to learn from you.

Sincerely,

Jonathan Obar --Jaobar (talk) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chlopeck (talk • contribs) 23:20, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

Abuse Filter on the Article Feedback Tool

Hey there :). You're being contacted because you're an edit filter manager, At the moment, we're developing Version 5 of the Article Feedback Tool, which you may or may not have heard about. If you haven't; for the first time, this will involve a free-text box where readers can submit comments :). Obviously, there's going to be junk, and we want to minimise that junk. To do so, we're working the Abuse Filter into the tool.

For this to work, we need people to write and maintain filters. I'd be very grateful if you could take a look at the discussion here and the attached docs, and comment and contribute! Thanks :). Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 18:15, 17 April 2012 (UTC)

re: Last warning

Evil saltine, I think you may have been hasty in using {{uw-vandalism4}} on User talk:Alexbee13. It has been a few months since the last warning on that user's page. The problem with posting a last warning is – what if they keep vandalizing? If it is really the last warning, the next step is to report the user to WP:AIV. However, an administrator would probably say that the user has not been adequately warned. It would be better to start with lower-level warnings and work upwards. RockMagnetist (talk) 17:56, 15 May 2012 (UTC)

You may be right.. Personally I would have blocked had I seen that user vandalize again (though I obviously missed it). Though maybe that was a bit hasty. Thanks for letting me know. Evil saltine (talk) 19:10, 15 May 2012 (UTC)

Evil saltine, I take back my comments. I had a look at this user's edits and they are all vandalism, and ugly vandalism at that. I nominated this user at WP:AIV and within two minutes he/she was blocked indefinitely. Sorry for my earlier comment - your choice of warning level was correct. RockMagnetist (talk) 06:32, 16 May 2012 (UTC)

No offense taken.. it's a judgement call and I've definitely been wrong before. Evil saltine (talk) 20:22, 18 May 2012 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (File:LeonardMcCoy.jpg)

Thanks for uploading File:LeonardMcCoy.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 04:09, 13 June 2012 (UTC)

Your response to Kyrelia54's edits on Dinesh D'Souza's page

I don't know whether Kyrelia is or is not a habitual vandal, but I responded to your statement on their wall on that wall, and was wondering if you would respond back there. I don't think putting "lost" in quotes discredits it as an observation; debates really are won or lost. They don't happen without the intent of seeing them as a competition, especially at the prestigious institutions mentioned on D'Souza's page. What makes a man turn neutral?

From TeacherinItaly's Talk Page

Thanks for the welcome. The content I added to the article on Clitoral Erection merely stated a claim and a suggestion, and cited a reference to verify that the claim and suggestion have been made. I did not claim any facts have been proven, and the reference I cited clearly states that research is needed. Please tell me how to reword my addition so as to make it clear that I'm NOT claiming any proven facts: "It has been observed that clitoral erections are common in children (before puberty) but not in adult women, and it has been suggested that lack of stimulation during development leads to atrophy of the relative brain areas that process signals from the clitoris, leading to eventual dysfunction of the clitoris."

Hi.. any information in an article has to have a reliable source backing it up. It's not the wording that's an issue, it's that the statement was not verifiable. Blogs are generally not acceptable as references (see WP:BLOGS) Evil saltine (talk) 05:59, 27 July 2012 (UTC)

Thanks. I understand that any information has to be verifiable, and I understand that blogs are generally not acceptable as references. But in this case what specific statement are you objecting to? If someone says he saw something and believes something about what he saw, and an article reports that he claims he saw it and believes something about what he saw, what more verification is necessary than a blog where you can verify what he said? My addition to the article does not make any statement of fact other than: somebody says something, and my reference verifies that he said it. Please tell me what specific statement in my addition appears to be a statement of fact, so I can modify that statement.TeacherInItaly (talk) 04:27, 28 July 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by TeacherInItaly (talk • contribs)

Lambeth Living

Hullo fellow Wiki editor,

I was about to create this page when I noticed that you had deleted it previously. No point in creating it only to have it deleted again. It said "Copyright infringement from LambethLiving.gov.uk" as the reason for the deletion. Surely it's possible to have a Wiki page on this subject which doesn't infringe a copyright? Lambeth Living is the ALMO (Arm's Length Management Organisation) which manages the London Borough of Lambeth's 40,000 properties so the subject seems notable.

Invitation to subscribe to the edit filter mailing list

Hi, as a user in the edit filter manager user group we wanted to let you know about the new wikipedia-en-editfilters mailing list. As part of our recent efforts to improve the use of edit filters on the English Wikipedia it has been established as a venue for internal discussion by edit filter managers regarding private filters (those only viewable by administrators and edit filter managers) and also as a means by which non-admins can ask questions about hidden filters that wouldn't be appropriate to discuss on-wiki. As an edit filter manager we encourage you to subscribe; the more users we have in the mailing list the more useful it will be to the community. If you subscribe we will send a short email to you through Wikipedia to confirm your subscription, but let us know if you'd prefer another method of verification. I'd also like to take the opportunity to invite you to contribute to the proposed guideline for edit filter use at WP:Edit filter/Draft and the associated talk page. Thank you!

ArbCom elections are now open!

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.

Extended confirmed protection

Hello, Saltine. This message is intended to notify administrators of important changes to the protection policy.

Extended confirmed protection (also known as "30/500 protection") is a new level of page protection that only allows edits from accounts at least 30 days old and with 500 edits. The automatically assigned "extended confirmed" user right was created for this purpose. The protection level was created following this community discussion with the primary intention of enforcing various arbitration remedies that prohibited editors under the "30 days/500 edits" threshold to edit certain topic areas.

In July and August 2016, a request for comment established consensus for community use of the new protection level. Administrators are authorized to apply extended confirmed protection to combat any form of disruption (e.g. vandalism, sock puppetry, edit warring, etc.) on any topic, subject to the following conditions:

• Extended confirmed protection may only be used in cases where semi-protection has proven ineffective. It should not be used as a first resort.
• A bot will post a notification at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard of each use. MusikBot currently does this by updating a report, which is transcluded onto the noticeboard.

Please review the protection policy carefully before using this new level of protection on pages. Thank you.
This message was sent to the administrators' mass message list. To opt-out of future messages, please remove yourself from the list. 17:49, 23 September 2016 (UTC)

Notification of pending suspension of administrative permissions due to inactivity

Following a community discussion in June 2011, consensus was reached to provisionally suspend the administrative permissions of users who have been inactive for one year (i.e. administrators who have not made any edits or logged actions in more than one year). As a result of this discussion, your administrative permissions will be removed pending your return if you do not return to activity within the next month. If you wish to have these permissions reinstated should this occur, please post to the Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard and the userright will be restored per the re-sysopping process (i.e. as long as the attending bureaucrats are reasonably satisfied that your account has not been compromised, that your inactivity did not have the effect of evading scrutiny of any actions which might have led to sanctions, and that you have not been inactive for a three-year period of time). If you remain inactive for a three-year period of time, including the present year you have been inactive, you will need to request reinstatement at WP:RFA. This removal of access is procedural only, and not intended to reflect negatively upon you in any way. We wish you the best in future endeavors, and thank you for your past administrative efforts.
