	== Credo Reference Update & Survey (your opinion requested) ==

	], who generously ] to Misplaced Pages editors over the past two years, has offered to expand the program to include 100 additional reference resources. Credo wants Misplaced Pages editors to select which resources they want most. So, we put together a quick survey to do that:

	* Link to Survey (should take between 5-10 minutes):

	It also asks some basic questions about what you like about the Credo program and what you might want to improve.

	At this time only the initial 400 editors have accounts, but even if you do not have an account, you still might want to weigh in on which resources would be most valuable for the community (for example, through ]).

	Also, if you have an account but no longer want to use it, please leave me a note so another editor can take your spot.

	If you have any other questions or comments, drop by my talk page or email me at wikiocaasi@yahoo.com. Cheers! ]<sup> ]\|]</sup> 17:21, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

	== Page protections ==

	Hi, please could you explain to me how to ''correctly'' carry out semi-auto clerking at ]? Thanks.--] (]) 16:12, 12 July 2012 (UTC)
	: Absolutely. There seems to be a general consensus in favor of the behavior of Rami_R's semi-auto-clerking script, just insert this in your appropriate startup Javascript (e.g., User:Joe Decker:vector.js)

	importScript('User:Rami_R/rfppClerk.js');

	: It seemed a bit mysterious to me at first: It doesn't immediately move recently addressed requests, and so forth, but that seems to be a desired effect, presumably so that folks would have a chance to respond as things happen. It's pretty easy to use once you get it loaded, just start editing WP:RFPP, press the clerking item that will have appeared in the Toolbox near the bottom of the left sidebar, and (after checking it hasn't mucked everything up badly) save the results. Let me know if you have any trouble. Thanks for offering to lend a hand! --]] 16:26, 12 July 2012 (UTC)

	::::Another Q! How long should requests stay in the fullled/denied requests for?--] (]) 17:05, 12 July 2012 (UTC)

	:::::: I just use that script's defaults, and I think a lot of folks are pretty "used to" that -- 6 hour wait after a request is marked fulfilled before it's moved there, 12 hours after it's moved there until it's removed entirely. I wouldn't mess at all with the latter, but if you felt 6 hours (between fulfillment and when it got moved) was too long, you might open up a discussion at WT:RFPP -- to be honest, I'm relatively new here at working RFPP as an admin, and there are certainly a lot of folks who work this queue who've had a lot more experience with the process and what works best. --]] 18:07, 12 July 2012 (UTC)

	:::::::: Thanks much! And thank you for wanting to help out here! By the way, (and you may already be doing this), there are other ways to help out here. I've often seen comments from folks when I look at a request that help me evaluate what's going on in a situation--noting, say, that a edit war has only autoconfirmed users so a semi won't work, that sort of thing. It's not that I won't double-check that, but I do often find that such comments help speed up the process I go through of evaluating what's going on. Again, thank you! --]] 18:21, 12 July 2012 (UTC)

	== Being a pest....again! ==

	Hi, sorry to bother you. I'm just wondering, with RPP are you allowed to make non-ad closures, like at PERM's?--] (]) 19:28, 14 July 2012 (UTC)
	: No bother at all, Chip! I've tried to look through the archives on this, and haven't found a firm consensus. I believe that I've seen ], who I believe is a non-admin, do at least a few crystal-clear closures-as-denied, he might be able to provide some useful guidance in practice on this question, I have a fair bit of trust for his NAC work at RFPP and elsewhere. I personally would have no trouble with NAC closures of crystal-clear denieds or "already dones", but I don't feel that I can speak for community consensus on this question.
	: And please continue to feel welcome to ask questions. I just may send you elsewhere if I'm not sure of the answer! --]] 21:11, 14 July 2012 (UTC)
	::Hey there! :) Non-admin closures at RFPP have not been discussed recently, but they have been at permissions, see ] and the new discussion about it ]. Hope that's of some help. :) ] 22:34, 14 July 2012 (UTC)

	:::::: I see an issue or two, let me go through and look more carefully, please don't make any more closes until I've had a chance to come back here and discuss. Thanks for letting me know! --]] 15:03, 15 July 2012 (UTC)

	:::::::Sure, please tell me, when you have looked through so I know where to improve, it's better than mucking things up!--] <sup>]</sup><sub>]</sub> 15:06, 15 July 2012 (UTC)

	:::::::: Thanks, Chip. I've reviewed the NAC declines, and ended up protecting three of them, and even one or two that I agree with are probably potentially contentious (because a lot of times these things are judgment calls), I'll get into the specifics in a minute. In any process, we tend to require that NACs be nearly absolutely uncontentuous, and that was not the case in even some of those I "upheld". I suspect the NAC declines at this point are going to prove a bad idea. I'm sorry that I've likely led you down the wrong path here, and I apologize for and take full responsiblity for that, but I really do think it's best right now if you stop declines.
	:::::::: I do appreciate your energy and enthusiasm, but it's best that you stop declines for the time. If you'd like to pursue other ways to help at RFPP, what I'd suggest is that you find a far more experienced RFPP admin (more experienced than myself at the page, that is) and discuss the matter with them, and start that process by having a discussion on the general topic at ]. You may find that there's no support for the idea, or if there is, perhaps someone with more experience will be able to provide better coaching than I can provide at this time.
	:::::::: As a matter of information only, the biggest problem that I saw in the pattern of declines that I overturned was in cases of long-term patterns of vandalism. The precise amount of recent vandalism generally needs to be weighed in view of the longer-term history of that kind of vandalism, in view of when and if and for how long the article has been previously protected, and the specific nature of the kinds of vandalism involved. In one of the cases, the same sorts of vandalism had gone on for years, and recurred soon after protection was lifted, even a single recurrence at that point is worth considering for a new and longer protection period, as I did. Unfortunately, I don't think I'm quite able to effectively put words into all the factors I take into consideration here, I don't think it's as easy as I might have thought to write a completely objective guide to the process. This is why I feel that, if and only if there's consensus to allow NAC at WT:RFPP, a more experienced mentor for you would be of help. I am far from certain that there will be such a consensus, though--and it is certainly best if you ask at ]. --]] 15:43, 15 July 2012 (UTC)
	:::::::::: PS: I see there is such a discussion going on! Awesome, thanks! And if you ever want coaching on something I do have some experience with (e.g., I'm probably relatively clueful about AfD), please let me know. Best, --]] 15:48, 15 July 2012 (UTC)

	{{deindent}}
	Thanks for your response! I concur, and will stay away, for the time being, away from the NAC's and will just stick to the NAO's/Clerking. I would really like to take you up on that offer about AfD......although I've made 5 non-reverted non- ad closures there, It's not a place where I'm overly active. I'll show you ScottyWongs AfD tool which shows how I have commented there so you can see my delte/keep comments. My NAC's for this can be found on my talk.

	== Central Region United Synagogue Youth (CRUSY) ==

	Hello Joe. There are administrator notes at the top of ] about whether the article should be deleted, redirected, or merged into ]. (CRUSY is one of USY's 17 regions. None of the other 16 have their own article.) The first admin note for some reason links to the ] talk page instead of the ] talk page. Anyway, I started ] where the link led. I was hoping you could add your input and initiate a decision. Thanks! --] (]) 23:32, 14 July 2012 (UTC) 03:02, 15 July 2012 (UTC) 03:16, 15 July 2012 (UTC)
	: Hi 76! Yeah, the {{tl\|mergeto}} template is intended to be used along with the {{tl\|mergefrom}} template, on the "source" of the proposed merge (CRUSY), the other on the "target" of the proposed merge (USY). Both templates end up pointing at the talk page of the target article. By having both templates point to the talk page of the target article, all the discussion gets handled together, rather than split across the two talk pages. I've added the appropriate mergefrom template, this may help draw the attention of other editors to the question. Any editor can place these and when there is sufficient consensus, either remove the templates (in the case of "leave it the way it is", or make the merge happen (by adding the material from the source to the target, and then making the source into a redirect via normal editing. (Deletion can't be completed this way, though, if folks decide it should still be deleted there it would have to still go through PROD or AfD.) You should be aware that it's very common for merge discussions to be move quite slowly.
	: The first question I'd ask, though, is do you think CRUSY is ]? That's usually a matter of whether you can find reliable, independent sources which provide in-depth coverage of the topic. If you can't find them (try things like Google News Archives and Google Books searches. Certainly try regular Google too, but the %age of sources that will end up being "reliable" from those is going to be much much smaller, so I always start with the other two searches. --]] 14:41, 15 July 2012 (UTC)
	::Hi again Joe! To answer your question, based on my understanding and research, the topic does not meet Misplaced Pages's notability guidelines. ], the organization of which CRUSY and the 16 other regions are a part, is certainly notable because it is a major Jewish youth orgnization across the U.S. (and and in a few other countries). But each of its 17 individual regions, including CRUSY, simply implement the "parent" organization's (USY's) programs and processes for their own area. So, generally speaking, the 17 regions all do the same thing. Therefore, it would seem that none of the individual regions should have their own article. And none of them currently do, except for CRUSY. Also, ] already includes a ]. I was hoping you could give your opinion in the discussion I started on the USY talk page. I'd rather have experts like yourself make the determination on what the correct and appropriate way to handle the CRUSY article is. Thanks! --] (]) 19:00, 15 July 2012 (UTC)
	:::Thanks, I've added a note there. I'm leaning in the redirect or merge area. Thanks! --]] 23:29, 16 July 2012 (UTC)
	::::Great. Thanks for your friendly and helpful assistance. You're a great admin. --] (]) 00:04, 17 July 2012 (UTC)

	== ] ==

	Hi, thanks for protecting ]. Did you notice on ], or were you coming from somewhere else with your protection? I was promptly turned down on RPP, on the argument that there had only been one instance of vandalism since Floquenbeam's 3-month protection expired yesterday… I was asked to keep an eye on it and report again if there was a lot more vandalism. As of course there would have been, if you hadn't protected it. 6 months sounds good to me. I gave up my tools in February, I think it was, and it's an interesting experience to have one's peon opinion dismissed. I recommend all long-term admins to try it. Anyway, thanks again. ] \| ] 16:37, 15 July 2012 (UTC).
	:P.S. Aha, after checking the RPP history, I now see you had revoked the rejection. So the system worked after all! :-) (My post was gone when I returned to the page shortly after seeing the first reply, so I just assumed rejected requests were being promptly removed.) ] \| ] 16:44, 15 July 2012 (UTC).

	::: Yep, Chip was working in good faith, but without enough guidance from myself, my bad. (Strange that your post was gone, however, usually the standard auto-clerking leaves them for 6 hours or so before moving them to fulfilled, and 12 before they're removed from the page.) --]] 16:58, 15 July 2012 (UTC)

	Hi Joe. A user cited Gawker in the ] of ] (about her marriage). Does Misplaced Pages consider Gawker to be a reliable/credible source? Or is it a gossip blog that is not allowed to be cited?

I'm behind on getting back to several folks, sorry about that. is probably stronger, while it's not a contentious claim, I would avoid Gawker, they've got a fairly poor reputation for accuracy and editorial control as I recall. You can always get a more decisive answer from WP:RSN, but in general if you're worried about a source the best thing to do is to hit Google News, Google News Archives, Google Books and such and just find one that seems more reliable and neutral. --]] 23:22, 16 July 2012 (UTC)

	Joe, I think an admin needs to have a chat with ]. He has ] into various articles (within the articles and in External Links). They all link to an image site called Imagehyper.com.

If possible, can you set Codehelper straight about these issues? Thanks. --] (]) 02:00, 17 July 2012 (UTC)

	By the way, is it appropriate to have ]? Most of them are just random news articles about the subject, plus a few links to videos (YouTube and C-SPAN). The text of the article is already fully sourced with appropriate citations inserted. --] (]) 02:13, 17 July 2012 (UTC)

	: There was more going on there, warranting blocking the editor. In case I'm not around (hey, it happens), in the future you can also attract admin attention on stuff like this by leaving a note at ]. Thanks for the note! --]] 02:27, 17 July 2012 (UTC)

	: I'd have to look at the external links question separately, I'm off to dinner. Don't take them out yet--one possiblity is that they were put there to encourage/allow expansion of the article, if there are a lot of new sources, there is probably a lot more to say. --]] 02:32, 17 July 2012 (UTC)

	== Another ImageHyper vandal ==

	Joe, add another mole to whack. ] inserted an ImageHyper photo link to ] today. . It is the same photo that some of the other users you banned had inserted. This user, instead of just adding it as a new link, simply substituted the URL of an already-existing link without changing any of the other info (source, date).

	Also, not sure if you had a chance to look at that list of external links I mentioned in ] but I'd be curious to here your opinion. I read ] but just am not sure which, or how many, links are acceptable to add to an article. It just seems like a big overkill in ].

	Finally, this sentence was added by a user to the ]: "The video of Mayer's 2011 interview of Lady Gaga as part of the Musicians@Google series has received almost two million views on YouTube." Is it allowed to link to a YouTube video like that? And if it is, is that sentence even worthy of inclusion in the article? --] (]) 18:59, 17 July 2012 (UTC)

	Hi Joe. Remember ]? The same crowd are now at it with . I'm sorely tempted to block the job lot of them. ] (]) 20:47, 17 July 2012 (UTC)
	: Who could blame you? I certainly wouldn't. On the other hand, if they move this somewhere else, it will be time to start writing up an entry at ], and there is at least some amusement in that. ;-)

	::Understatement. Excuse me butting in, I came here to reply to Joe's pp message. Both this isn't your problem, and Joe, thanks for freezing page but please note that "the same crowd" are quite large here: I count up to 20 different editors reverting Fyunck's WP:TENNISNAMES style ledes over the 100x BLPs affected - it's just that different editors are reverting Fyunck on different BLPs. For example I wasn't among those reverting the ] or ], but I did revert "Sophie Lefèvre known as Sophie Lefevre" once on 8 April, am pretty certain I have reverted a similar BLP elsewhere, and clearly recall slapping ''dubious'' tags on at least 10x of these ledes, though I doubt they are still there. Anyway, the point - There already has been an extensive entry per ] at ]. It already has been discussed and a conclusion drawn. I've just pasted the relevant sections of WP:AT and MOS Biographies into the Talk of Jelena Janković as Joe requested. But what good will it do? What about them isn't already crystal clear? Do we really have to have Björn Borg featured as in example in ] before a couple of tennis editors will follow it? ] (]) 07:17, 18 July 2012 (UTC)
