==Vanderbilt Edit-A-Thon==
==ZSG==
i like the critical reviews section in the zsg article, helps establish notability. is your aim to make a good zsg article, or just to keep it from being deleted? you can put it on ] if you want some neutral opinions. i'm not opposed to linking from zombie (if it doesnt take up disproportionate space in the article implying its somehow more significant than king, matheson, romero etc) but others might be ] 19:40, 4 March 2006 (UTC)


Hi EVula, I'd like you to meet ], who is our Dean's Fellow for Misplaced Pages this semester. She'll be helping us to host a new Edit-A-Thon this fall, probably focused on translation between Misplaced Pages language editions. We're hoping that we can draw on your expertise again. Plus free pizza! How is Nov. 1st in your calendar? ] (]) 14:39, 4 September 2014 (UTC)
:Originally, I was just trying to get it to a high enough level that it could be linked to from the Zombie article, but with ]'s extreme hostility towards the article itself, I appear to be fighting for its life (fairly ironic for an undead article...). I'd like for the article to be as good as possible, but it's not like I have any illusions about it being a Featured Article. :)

::::Hey! Someone really has it out for my ] page. It's been marked for deletion as a COI and they called it "advertising". Is there anything more I need to be doing/can do to satisfy the people flagging it? Thanks! ] (]) 17:11, 6 November 2014 (UTC)
:::::Yeah, I'd seen that guy bitching about the article's existence elsewhere. I've removed the prod (he also tried having it speedily deleted and that got shot down by someone else); if he wants the article deleted so badly, he'll have to take it to ], which will get ''many'' more eyeballs on the article than prodding it (which may help address the notability concerns; I'm not entirely sure how to fix those, and I'm too busy to give it too much attention at the moment). ] <span style="color: #999;">// ] // ] //</span> 17:37, 6 November 2014 (UTC)

==Passive Insults==
On the vandy law discussion page, you accuse me of "passively" insulting you. Please provide evidence for this statement; in the absence of evidence, this strikes me as a personal attack. On another note, my reverts have been backed up by a legitimate wikipedia rationale (non compliance with notability standards) and have been supported to an extent by another user, so it is unclear why it should be so difficult for you to assume good faith. ] 16:05, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
:. Not a direct insult, no, which is why I called it a passive insult; you are free to mistakingly interpret it as a personal attack and report me to the proper authorities as you see fit. I interpreted your removal of the majority of faculty members as a direct response to my opposing you on the Ebersole issue; given your relatively confined edit history (and username), it seems to me that you have a blatant bias in your edits, which erodes some of your credibility (in my personal opinion only). The fact that you've opted to post to my talk page rather than discuss Gopple's proposed compromise also furthers my opinion.
:That said, I'm honestly interested in working towards improving the Vandy Law article; bickering about stupid shit is pointless and, frankly, I've got better things to do. ] 16:31, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
:: I apologize if you perceived an insult in my use of the term "weasly". I was not calling you a weasel. I was referring to ]. As for my posting here, it struck me that your talk page -- not an article discussion -- was the proper place to respond to your accusations against me, as these accusations did not seem relevant to the article's content. And I will post my support for the proposed compromise right now, although I do not see why this is necessary as he is proposing that you do exacly what I initially proposed -- that is, listed professors require references that establish notability.

== Workshopping bureaucrat activity requirements ==
==Question==


:''(Message to all bureaucrats)''
How do I get on the Ambrosia boards so I can be your friend there and thus be added to your list of friends here. Thanks. ] 03:51, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
There is an ] about implementing some kind of standards for administrative and bureaucrat activity levels; and activity requirements for bureaucrats have been explored several times in the past. I've prepared a draft addition to ] that would require ].


In the past, I've been hesitant of such proposals but I believe that if the bureaucrat group as a whole is seen to be actively engaged, the community may be more willing to grant additional tasks to the position.
:. However, just because you register there doesn't mean you can just add yourself to the friends list; I've known most of the people on that list for at least a couple of years (in the case of ] and ], its closer to seven or eight), and I've met ] (staying at his place on two different occasions). ] 16:00, 10 July 2006 (UTC)


Please let me know your thoughts. I'm not sure if this actually applies to any of us, but if you have not acted as a bureaucrat in over five years, you might consider ] of the permission or otherwise signalling that you intend to return to bureaucrat activity. –]] 14:22, 30 June 2015 (UTC)
::So exclusive!!! I, for one, would be more than happy to have you on my friends list. In fact, I think I'll create a friends list and put you on it. ] 18:47, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
:I haven't made any bureaucratic edits in forever and a day, but that's partially because there's so little to do these days... (But hey, I still maintain the mailing list! I doubt that matters to anyone, though.)


:The discussion looks like it has died down and so ultimately nothing is going to get done because, well, this is Misplaced Pages, of course it did.

|style="color:#000"|
As many of you know, lists of minor Star Wars-related themes are very common on Misplaced Pages; however, since these may be seen as violations of Misplaced Pages policy (and having seperate articles would breach ''even more'' policies), the tentative solution is to create general articles on a list's topic (for example, turning List of Star Wars devices into Technology of Star Wars, which allows us to cover everything from hyperspace to comlinks in a general encyclopedic fashion). This can be very tough for some broad topics, so the key is ''organization''. I encourage all editors to list their ideas on the WikiProject talk page. It will be a very difficult &mdash; but tangible &mdash; effort.

For an example, let me point you to the Final Fantasy WikiProject.

Location descriptions were given a ] article, and the details themselves were placed on the ] page.

I'm not sure what your problem is, but I'm not out to "get you" or anything, and I haven't done anything (as far as I know, and you've failed to clarify your claim) to rebuke your attempts at friendship; indeed, as far as I'm concerned, I've been very cordial:
* You thanked me for backing you up in an edit dispute, which I politely turned down (as I didn't feel it was warranted).
* I ''didn't'' consider your addition of yourself to my Friends list vandalism (I ''have'' done so to other attempts in the past). This may not mean much to you, but this distinction is quite significant to me.
* When you were stalking me, I calmly requested that you stopped, rather than attack you over it.
* I've stated ''specifically'' that "I'm '''not''' opposed to being friends" with you (emphasis mine).
* You asked how you could get on my friends list, and I answered in an honest manner (it should be noted that, to the best of my knowledge, you've yet to follow-through with that advice).

The automatically assigned ] was created for this purpose. The protection level was created following ] 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, ] 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 ] of each use'''. MusikBot currently does this by updating ], which is transcluded onto the noticeboard.

== A new user right for New Page Patrollers ==

Hi {{BASEPAGENAME}}.

A new user group, ], has been created in a move to greatly improve the standard of new page patrolling. The user right can be granted by any admin at ]. It is highly recommended that admins look beyond the simple numerical threshold and satisfy themselves that the candidates have the required skills of communication and an advanced knowledge of notability and deletion. Admins are automatically included in this user right.

It is anticipated that this user right will significantly reduce the work load of admins who patrol the performance of the patrollers. However,due to the complexity of the rollout, some rights may have been accorded that may later need to be withdrawn, so some help will still be needed to some extent when discovering wrongly applied deletion tags or inappropriate pages that escape the attention of less experienced reviewers, and above all, hasty and bitey tagging for maintenance. User warnings are available ] but very often a friendly custom message works best.

Vanderbilt Edit-A-Thon

Hi EVula, I'd like you to meet Nikilada, who is our Dean's Fellow for Misplaced Pages this semester. She'll be helping us to host a new Edit-A-Thon this fall, probably focused on translation between Misplaced Pages language editions. We're hoping that we can draw on your expertise again. Plus free pizza! How is Nov. 1st in your calendar? Clifford Anderson (talk) 14:39, 4 September 2014 (UTC)

You had me at "free pizza"...
November 1st works for me. What time? I've got an event that night, but I won't need to be there until 6 or so. EVula // talk // // 15:41, 4 September 2014 (UTC)
Great! We're thinking that we'd run the edit-a-thon from 10:00 to 4:00 p.m. Nikilada is confirming the date with the Special Collections folk. We'll let you know when we have the details shored up. Look forward to seeing you again! Clifford Anderson (talk) 20:24, 5 September 2014 (UTC)
Hey! Someone really has it out for my Mary Helen Clark page. It's been marked for deletion as a COI and they called it "advertising". Is there anything more I need to be doing/can do to satisfy the people flagging it? Thanks! Nikilada (talk) 17:11, 6 November 2014 (UTC)
Yeah, I'd seen that guy bitching about the article's existence elsewhere. I've removed the prod (he also tried having it speedily deleted and that got shot down by someone else); if he wants the article deleted so badly, he'll have to take it to Articles for Deletion, which will get many more eyeballs on the article than prodding it (which may help address the notability concerns; I'm not entirely sure how to fix those, and I'm too busy to give it too much attention at the moment).

Hi there. I'm not sure on what grounds you removed this proposed deletion? Your edit summary said "assume a bit of good faith here", but I'm confused as to what policy your removal of this proposed deletion falls under. Thanks. Magnolia677 (talk) 05:10, 8 November 2014 (UTC)

The "assume good faith" bit is trying to delete it as a G11. That's ridiculous; the article came out of an edit-a-thon at a university. We should be happy about having universities working with Misplaced Pages to get their materials onto our servers. (that the person is potentially non-notable is reasonable, though I still think trying to delete it as soon as it was created was jumping the gun quite a bit) EVula // talk // // 20:45, 12 November 2014 (UTC)

Editathon at Nashville Public Library

Hi EVula, we're contemplating holding another editathon at the Nashville Public Library on the civil rights movement in Nashville/Tennessee. Pharos thinks we may be able to hold the event in conjunction with the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture at NYPL. Tentatively, the date is scheduled for Saturday, February 7th. Any chance you might be able to take part? Amwilliams15 is helping to coordinate events at the Nashville Public Library. Let us know. Thanks!! Clifford Anderson (talk) 20:27, 13 January 2015 (UTC)

Ooh, I'd definitely be interested in getting involved, and I've got nothing scheduled that day until that evening. Elonka recently moved to town as well, I wonder if she'd be interested.

Workshopping bureaucrat activity requirements

(Message to all bureaucrats)

There is an ongoing discussion about implementing some kind of standards for administrative and bureaucrat activity levels; and activity requirements for bureaucrats have been explored several times in the past. I've prepared a draft addition to Misplaced Pages:Bureaucrats that would require at least one bureaucratic action every five years to retain the bureaucrat permission.

In the past, I've been hesitant of such proposals but I believe that if the bureaucrat group as a whole is seen to be actively engaged, the community may be more willing to grant additional tasks to the position.

Please let me know your thoughts. I'm not sure if this actually applies to any of us, but if you have not acted as a bureaucrat in over five years, you might consider requesting removal of the permission or otherwise signalling that you intend to return to bureaucrat activity. –xeno 14:22, 30 June 2015 (UTC)

I haven't made any bureaucratic edits in forever and a day, but that's partially because there's so little to do these days... (But hey, I still maintain the mailing list! I doubt that matters to anyone, though.)
The discussion looks like it has died down and so ultimately nothing is going to get done because, well, this is Misplaced Pages, of course it did. I almost feel like throwing my deadminship proposal back out there; that'd address the apparent concern over shitty-but-can't-take-to-ArbCom admins, plus give us bureaucrats something to do again. :) EVula // talk // // 15:16, 30 June 2015 (UTC)
That's an idea I've been rolling around in my head. If you read between the lines, something similar would be a follow-on after implementing the kind of check-and-balance for the team. I'll be sure to let you know when I get to workshopping that. –xeno 15:33, 30 June 2015 (UTC)
Is it okay if I edit your proposal page directly? You can revert when I'm done if you don't like it. If you'd rather I not, I can fork it. –xeno 19:58, 30 June 2015 (UTC)
What did you have in mind? (feel free to make changes, I'm just curious) EVula // talk // // 22:24, 30 June 2015 (UTC)
It's easier if I just show you. –xeno 16:49, 1 July 2015 (UTC)
Love it! Excellent changes all around. EVula // talk // // 19:38, 1 July 2015 (UTC)
Any thoughts on moving forward? –xeno 15:37, 2 July 2015 (UTC)
Not really, but that's partially because I've got too much on my plate off-wiki to really give this much thought at the moment. Maybe post about it at WT:RfA to get a feel for what people think of it? EVula // talk // // 01:22, 6 July 2015 (UTC)

Implementation of Misplaced Pages:Bureaucrats#Bureaucrat activity requirements

Following a community discussion ending August 2015, consensus was reached to remove the bureaucrat permissions of users who have not participated in bureaucrat activity for three years.


Bureaucrats are expected to exercise the duties granted by their role while remaining cognizant of relevant community standards concerning their tasks. In addition to the "Inactive bureaucrat accounts" requirements, if a bureaucrat does not participate in bureaucrat activity for over three years, their bureaucrat permissions may be removed. The user must be notified on their talk page and by email one month before the removal, and again and a few days prior to the removal. If the user does not return to bureaucrat activity, another bureaucrat may request the removal of permissions at meta:Steward requests/Permissions. Permissions removed for not meeting bureaucrat activity requirements may be re-obtained through a new request for bureaucratship.
  1. Bureaucrat activity is widely construed and includes acting or commenting as a bureaucrat at any venue including WP:BN/RFA/RFB/RFBAG/BRFA and responding to requests in their capacity as a global renamer or subscriber to the bureaucrats' mailing list or signalling that they remain actively engaged and available for bureacrat tasks.

To assist with the implementation of this requirement, please see Misplaced Pages:Bureaucrat activity. Modeled after Misplaced Pages:Inactive administrators and similar to that process, the log page will be created on 1 September 2015. Bureaucrats who have not met the activity requirements as of that date will be notified by email (where possible) and on their talk page to advise of the pending removal.

If the notified user does not return to bureaucrat activity and the permissions are removed, they will need to request reinstatement at WP:RFB. Removal of access is procedural only, and not intended to reflect negatively upon the affected user in any way.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. –xeno

Vanderbilt Edit-A-Thons

Hi EVula,

We've got a couple upcoming editathons I'd like you to know about. We're participating in the global Women in Architecture editathon on Thursday, October 15. And we'll also be sponsoring an editathon for open access week at Vanderbilt on Friday, October 23 called Citation Needed! We'd love to see you at either event, though I know that it's not necessarily convenient or possible on a weekday. But please help us spread the word! Pharos is putting up a bounding box to alert local Wikipedians and Ed Warga is coordinating the events along with another colleague.

Thanks! Clifford Anderson (talk) 17:37, 11 October 2015 (UTC)

P.S. You're the coolest!

Sorry I missed this; I think this came in when I didn't have a computer (yay burglaries). Let me know if there are any future events (and shooting me a message on Twitter is guaranteed to get my attention). EVula // talk // // 17:55, 30 December 2015 (UTC)

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 Misplaced Pages 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. For the Election committee, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:38, 23 November 2015 (UTC)

Your administrator and bureaucrat status on Wikispecies

Hello. A policy regarding the removal of "advanced rights" (administrator, bureaucrat, etc.) was adopted by community consensus in 2013. According to this policy, the stewards are reviewing activity on wikis with no inactivity policy. You meet the inactivity criteria (no edits and no log actions for 2 years) on the wiki listed above. Since that wiki does not have its own rights review process, the global one applies. If you want to keep your rights, you should inform the community of the wiki about the fact that the stewards have sent you this information about your inactivity. If the community has a discussion about it and then wants you to keep your rights, please contact the stewards at m:Stewards' noticeboard, and link to the discussion of the local community, where they express their wish to continue to maintain the rights. If you wish to resign your rights, you can reply here or request removal of your rights on Meta. If there is no response at all after approximately one month, stewards will proceed to remove your administrator and/or bureaucrat rights. In ambiguous cases, stewards will evaluate the responses and will refer a decision back to the local community for their comment and review. If you have any questions, please contact the stewards.

Extended confirmed protection

Hello, EVula. 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 Misplaced Pages: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.

Two-Factor Authentication now available for admins

Hello,

Please note that TOTP based two-factor authentication is now available for all administrators. In light of the recent compromised accounts, you are encouraged to add this additional layer of security to your account. It may be enabled on your preferences page in the "User profile" tab under the "Basic information" section. For basic instructions on how to enable two-factor authentication, please see the developing help page for additional information. Important: Be sure to record the two-factor authentication key and the single use keys. If you lose your two factor authentication and do not have the keys, it's possible that your account will not be recoverable. Furthermore, you are encouraged to utilize a unique password and two-factor authentication for the email account associated with your Wikimedia account. This measure will assist in safeguarding your account from malicious password resets. Comments, questions, and concerns may be directed to the thread on the administrators' noticeboard.

A new user right for New Page Patrollers

Hi EVula.

A new user group, New Page Reviewer, has been created in a move to greatly improve the standard of new page patrolling. The user right can be granted by any admin at PERM. It is highly recommended that admins look beyond the simple numerical threshold and satisfy themselves that the candidates have the required skills of communication and an advanced knowledge of notability and deletion. Admins are automatically included in this user right.

It is anticipated that this user right will significantly reduce the work load of admins who patrol the performance of the patrollers. However,due to the complexity of the rollout, some rights may have been accorded that may later need to be withdrawn, so some help will still be needed to some extent when discovering wrongly applied deletion tags or inappropriate pages that escape the attention of less experienced reviewers, and above all, hasty and bitey tagging for maintenance. User warnings are available here but very often a friendly custom message works best.

If you have any questions about this user right, don't hesitate to join us at WT:NPR. (Sent to all admins).MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:46, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

Hello, and thanks

Hi EVula,

I am currently a new Wikipedian. I was starting to build my page, but I needed examples. So I thought, "why not look at some admin's page?" I thought this because I know admins would have experience and would design good user pages as a result. I am contacting you to say thanks and to get my foot in the door, as I eventually would like to help this community as a whole. --TruDev (talk) 11:55, 23 September 2017 (UTC)

Kevin

Dear EVula, three editors at Misplaced Pages Indonesia have repeatedly edited and provided factual information about the article including references on Kevin Lilliana, but user:Richie Campbell has been performing vandalism by deleting information without discussion on the Talk page. Misplaced Pages works by consensus, if there is controversy about an edit it should be taken to the Talk page (WP:BRD). Three editors, being WP:BOLD have opposed these edits and looked for my help. I'm sure you understand that repeated removals of the same content, against consensus, is WP:EDIT WARRING and can get him blocked. Please advise and help them, as I don't have privileges to block at this moment. But I'm willing to help if necessary. Thank you Steinpal (talk12:04, 5 April 2018 (UTC)

Notification of pending suspension of administrative permissions due to inactivity

Information icon 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 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 Misplaced Pages: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, that you have not been inactive for a three-year period of time, and that you have not been inactive from administrative tasks for a five 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. Further, following a community discussion in March of 2018, Administrators suspended for inactivity who have not had any logged administrative activity for five years 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. — JJMC89 bot 00:04, 1 May 2018 (UTC)
