New Page Patrol survey

New page patrol – Survey Invitation Hello ErikHaugen! The WMF is currently developing new tools to make new page patrolling much easier. Whether you have patrolled many pages or only a few, we now need to know about your experience.

If this invitation also appears on other accounts you may have, please complete the survey once only. If this has been sent to you in error and you have never patrolled new pages, please ignore it. Please click HERE to take part. Many thanks in advance for providing this essential feedback. You are receiving this invitation because you have patrolled new pages.

Interview

Hi, my name is Pedro Rodriguez. I am a student at Michigan State University, working on an exploration of the Misplaced Pages adminship process under Jonathan Obar. You had previously showed interest in being a interviewee for our study. I can conduct the interview via Skype or email, whichever you prefer. I can be contacted at my email: rodri397@msu.edu to set up a time to Skype or , if you wish, to obtain your email to conduct the interview that way. Thank you for your participation in our study.

Stylization of the "common name"

In January 2013 there was a "RfC on COMMONSTYLE proposal" at WT:AT in which you expressed an interest. FYI there is a similar debate taking place at the moment, see Misplaced Pages talk:Article titles#Stylization of the "common name" -- PBS-AWB (talk) 12:18, 16 January 2015 (UTC)

Precious again

monitoring new articles
Thank you for quality articles such as Sanajeh, for tireless gnomish work, dealing with page moves, articles for deletion, copyright, monitoring new articles, for thinking about "consensus" (and sousveillance), for trust, - you are an awesome Wikipedian!

Welcome to Misplaced Pages. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, we would ask that you assume good faith while interacting with other editors. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Actually reading a deletion rationale helps. You can thank User:michig for this template.

I read everything. AGF isn't quite what you want here, I think. ErikHaugen (talk | contribs) 04:35, 2 February 2015 (UTC)

concise

well that was informative. :) — Ched :  ?  23:37, 4 February 2015 (UTC)

Yeah, I've always been meaning to work on that. ErikHaugen (talk | contribs) 23:48, 4 February 2015 (UTC)

I just noticed this ... will respond tomorrow. — Ched :  ?  01:33, 5 February 2015 (UTC)

Forget it. Suffice to say I disagree. — Ched :  ?  17:01, 5 February 2015 (UTC)

Ok. I guess I think there should be a pretty high bar for an admin getting to unilaterally shut down a discussion. ErikHaugen (talk | contribs) 17:51, 5 February 2015 (UTC)

In general? Yes. I can agree with you Erik. However, in this case I think there's a larger picture here that merits consideration. — Ched :  ?  19:02, 5 February 2015 (UTC)

Amanda Rosenberg

Hi - Just an FYI that I left a number of comments regarding the Amanda Rosenberg page at the 'Articles for Deletion' discussion: https://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Amanda_Rosenberg I defer to however you think best to handle this page but am concerned about it. Just wanted to make sure you saw them as most of your conversation is in 'Talk' section. Wintertanager (talk) 19:16, 11 February 2015 (UTC)

Yes, I saw that AFD. I don't think I can support the AfD. I'm sympathetic to the "merge with Brin/Glass" idea, but I'm not quite sure. Although the article seems biased and messy at this point. ErikHaugen (talk | contribs) 22:25, 11 February 2015 (UTC)

Question re: AE close

Will you please help clear up my confusion regarding your close wherein you stated, "Atsme, the Tea Party topic bans connection here is quite a stretch. Please take some care not to throw around wild accusations like this, it is not appreciated."

• The TB reads: ...is indefinitely topic-banned from all pages relating to the Tea Party movement, broadly construed. Ok, so the following article is hosted by and attended by tea partiers (broadly construed): (excerpt) "The Boston Globe article on the Tea Party event was bilithely superficial and missed key elements of the story. It was headlined "Spirited get-together thrown by Tea Partiers" and the main speaker, G. Edward Griffin, ....." In Griffin's BLP under Political advocacy it states the following: Griffin has been a member and officer of the John Birch Society (JBS) for much of his life and a contributing editor to its magazine, The New American. See . I'm thoroughly confused as to how you see it as "quite a stretch". It appears to me that Griffin's BLP would fall under "pages relating to the Tea Party movement, broadly construed." I just want to get my head wrapped around the TB program and what it actually entails. I look forward to your response and helping me understand the concept. Atsme☯ 15:52, 14 February 2015 (UTC)
