I am here, once again, to ask for a bit of help. If you have a moment, please look at ]. Blackhall is in charge of public relations for the Cochrane Group, and has been adding many citations attributed to this entity. Often her edits have been obviously promotional in tone, and she has received COI warnings as a result. However, the Cochrane Review is highly respected in medical sources, and certainly qualifies as an RS. Another editor, who is both a physician and a sysop, has hidden the COI warning, and he reverted my edit when I unhid it. . I would appreciate your take on the situation.

The release date of this film, my film, is November 4th, 2011 and it is a documentary film telling the historical story of Sutro Baths. It is already on IMDB and can be google searched. The SF Chronicle is writing their review shortly. Thus historically, it should be part of Misplaced Pages's listing. I wrote the description of the film in that manner.

Invitation to participate in a research

Hello,

The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Misplaced Pages, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this anonymous survey.

You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.

The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement .

Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.

Kind Regards,

WMF Research Team

  • The Nuke feature also now provides links to the userpage of the user whose pages were deleted, and to the pages which were not selected for deletion, after page deletions are queued. This enables easier follow-up admin-actions.
