Dispute resolution survey

Dispute Resolution – Survey Invite Hello Courcelles. I am currently conducting a study on the dispute resolution processes on the English Misplaced Pages, in the hope that the results will help improve these processes in the future. Whether you have used dispute resolution a little or a lot, now we need to know about your experience. The survey takes around five minutes, and the information you provide will not be shared with third parties other than to assist in analyzing the results of the survey. No personally identifiable information will be released. Please click HERE to participate. Many thanks in advance for your comments and thoughts. You are receiving this invitation because you have had some activity in dispute resolution over the past year. For more information, please see the associated research page.

Thanks, and a query.

Thanks for the prompt semi-protection of a long-dead Russian royal. I see you have done this for '2 eeks' ;-) Sadly, unless you mean Estonian kroons (I didn't realise admins were paid), we don't seem to have any article at Eek that would seem to fit. Should I perhaps start researching for one on the 'eek' as a measure of time? Or has your keyboard 'w' key broken, leaving you as an ikipedian until you can get one that orks? ;-) AndyTheGrump (talk) 19:14, 5 April 2012 (UTC)

I actually have some old Estonian Kroons in a drawer somewhere around here, but, sadly, no pay for admins, my keyboard W doesn't register unless I press it very, very firmly. As this is a laptop, replacing it is not nearly as simple as it could otherwise be. Courcelles 19:20, 5 April 2012 (UTC)

That must be a pain - though it is probably easier to compose prose omitting the relevant letter than it might be to do the same lacking an 'E'. ;-) On a more practical note, have you thought of using an external USB keyboard? not ideal, but I've found using one with my netbook useful when writing long screeds - it reduces my tendency to hit two keys at once.

Email

~ ⇒TomTomN00 @ 12:54, 6 April 2012 (UTC)

There's no reason for this to be done off-wiki, so I'm going to reply here. I'm also going to be totally honest, because you need to hear this, if you are going to succeed here. It seems to me you're asking for every right under the sun, both on this wiki and others, and this is not going to go well for you. You need to settle down, forget about rights and flags, and just do some editing. Find an article you care about, and go make it better. 500 mainspace edits is a guide to gauge competence for editing, not an iron rule that guarantees AWB access, and admins granting it still must assess competence to use it. Also, I feel Fluffernutter's removal of our rollback right was entirely justified, and your lack of using Huggle correctly gives me no confidence in your ability to use AWB. Settle down, forget about rights and tools, and work on articles for a while. That's why we're here, the other stuff is either to make that a bit easier, or, worse a necessary distraction. You would do well not to ask for any rights here or on another wiki for about five months or so (Also, off-wiki communication should only really be used when there is an actual need to do so.)

I prefer off-wiki because I often get quite a fair amount of lag here. Anyway, I see what you're saying, but if I have double the guide... ~ ⇒TomTomN00 @ 16:49, 6 April 2012 (UTC)

Small favour

Hey, I hope your health problems are not too serious and that you get better soon. I was wondering if you could provide me with a copy of the Tricia Dingle article? - JuneGloom Talk 18:33, 6 April 2012 (UTC)

Sure, see User:JuneGloom07/Tricia Dingle. The history is kind of a mess of versions, so it is easier to let you flip through and find what you want, rather than e-mailing you a single version. Courcelles 18:43, 6 April 2012 (UTC)

Thank you. The article isn't as bad as I thought it would be, despite its history. It just needs some tlc and some real world development info. I think I'll work on it offline for a little while and see what I can do with it. - JuneGloom Talk 19:29, 6 April 2012 (UTC)

Baiting

You are so naive. He always behaves this way, & has it down to a fine art. Johnbod (talk) 01:48, 7 April 2012 (UTC)
