| Hello! The ] team is running a usability test to find out how and where IP addresses are used when patrolling wikis, particularly when patrolling RecentChanges. This could include New Pages or RecentChanges patrol. We want to see your patrolling process and get your views on some prototypes. Getting your perspective would be really helpful to us at this stage of the process. If you’d like to help, and have 30 minutes to spare, please fill out this Google form with your details: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfjYyRNGMkO4_TdNOgG4qmK9cp9YOKzM4GFO5pTd_bEcu23YQ/viewform | |||

| I've blocked them but felt like leaving a note for you too. Starting with level-4 warning right away is rarely justified, and I think I saw this not once with your AIV reports. What happens in practice is that potential vandals either get away or get away too easily because an admin has no justification for an indef block after one warning. ] (]) 23:29, 3 January 2011 (UTC) | |||
| :I use level-3 for scaring, for several reasons (it allows an admin to block or not block). There is a difference between IPs and users in this sense - AIV admins, on average, tend to block IPs for 24-31hrs and indef users, thus if a user has a not so short history of not so clear edits, one warning makes any admin doubt and often dismiss a valid report. ] (]) 23:38, 3 January 2011 (UTC) | |||
| ::Just an observation - some AIV reporters have good reputation and high efficiency, partly because they don't assume and don't think much about that. It really saves time sometimes (what would he do if .., maybe he's not that bad .., maybe that page was wrong .. etc.). The mere fact that user ignored several valid warnings already helps admins. ] (]) 01:36, 4 January 2011 (UTC) | |||

| :Just closing a resolved AN/I thread without calling extra attention to the troll is the best way to handle it. This troll is a long-term community banned user who got enough attention courtesy of the admin's ridiculous restoration and defense of it. --] (]) 01:09, 17 January 2011 (UTC) | |||
| ::Just read your edit summary that you're changing it. That's not necessary. I do hope you consider the source of the drama in the future though. This particular banned user thrives on attention and has posted hundreds of these comments against women all over wikipedia. Because wikipedia administrators are largely male, it can often be a problem getting this banned user's sock puppet edits removed, and it can sometimes be work even getting him/her blocked for posting them. Not always the case, but often enough. This was one of the most egregious supports of this banned user by an administrator that I have seen, the conversation thread and the restoration of the edit summary take the cake as far as what it's like being a woman editing wikipedia. I would simply like less hostile editors to consider what is going on. A troll is seeking attention, personal attention. How you give it to them is up to you; but, this one can get plenty without being personally named and linked to in as many places as possible. --] (]) 01:15, 17 January 2011 (UTC) | |||

Actually I just did an environment Canada for Prince George and the wind shows SSW 4 km/hr. Aren't chinooks very windy - so that's not a chinook, right? Also chinooks make it shirt sleave weather and while minus 8 is not bad, it's not quite shirt sleave. I just had an argument with someone accusing editors of using this as as a social networking site and here we talking about the weather - f..k'im.

Please help with usability testing
Hello! The mw:Anti-Harassment Tools team is running a usability test to find out how and where IP addresses are used when patrolling wikis, particularly when patrolling RecentChanges. This could include New Pages or RecentChanges patrol. We want to see your patrolling process and get your views on some prototypes. Getting your perspective would be really helpful to us at this stage of the process. If you’d like to help, and have 30 minutes to spare, please fill out this Google form with your details: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfjYyRNGMkO4_TdNOgG4qmK9cp9YOKzM4GFO5pTd_bEcu23YQ/viewform
For the purpose of the tests we’ll be using Google Forms for recruitment, and UserTesting.com to conduct the actual tests. Please review the privacy statement and release form in https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ijmwrIoNO0W1p_zfFU1LBf3_6mFF53kUUFy1L_DCUKc (Google docs link)
