Hi Enterprisey, I noticed when looking atmy AfD stats that I'm marked as having !voted to keepTsonga Wikipedia (AfD), which is odd as I was its nominator and I didn't withdraw my nomination. So anyway, I thought I should bring it to your attention. Cheers,Graham (talk)02:53, 14 August 2016 (UTC)
Could you please redo the list that you generated atWikipedia:Help_desk/Archives/2016_February_12 of the values for the type field in the infobox fraternity? If possible I'd like more information, specifically the list of which pages had what rather than just combining the entries with their counts. Also, please let me know if this can be done in a tool that I'd like have access to including quarry, awb or a search query through insource. Since the list is long, if you could just drop that in a user subpage and let me know the name. Thank You.Naraht (talk)16:44, 10 August 2016 (UTC)

Very late response (I've been absent for a few months), but sure, no problem. Out of curiosity, do you still remember which backlogged clean-up category it was in? That way, when I get around to editing that userspace essay again, I can avoid dumping it straight back into it.

|category=no, which tells the template not to populate it for that page. Originally, it was supposed to populate it for redlinks, etc; however, the cleanup category needs burning down, and I plan to take out the category when it's done.Enterprisey (talk!)

Hi Enterprisey, first, thanks for looking after the afd tool, i use it heaps! now the plz help bit:)) i add afd lists to lots of afds in addition to adding "comments", "keeps", and "deletes", but sometimes the afd tool attributes a previous editor's "k" or "d" to me ie.Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jackson Owens, i tried adding a "clear all" (sorry i am not computer language literate at all, more a "try it and see"), but that doesn't seem to have worked, are you able to assist? thanks,

Hello, Enterprisey. It has been over six months since you last edited yourArticles for Creation draft article submission, "Liberators".
In accordance with our policy that Articles for Creation is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopediamainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simplyedit the submission and remove the{{db-afc}} or{{db-g13}} code.
If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions atthis link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing.JMHamo (talk)21:54, 1 September 2016 (UTC)

Hi Enterprisey, I've movedTemplate:Editnotices/Group/Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/BLD toTemplate:Editnotices/Page/Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/Backlog elimination drives. The page at the previous location attempted to target a subgroup atWikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/BLD, which seems to have never been created or used. Currently, the editnotice now targetsWikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/Backlog elimination drives, which was a reasonable guess on my part as to what the editnotice would be used for.
If you intend for the page to target a group of pages, let me know, but otherwise, the group notice had 0 visibility on the project, and shouldnot be moved back to its former name. Any questions, let me know. — Andy W. (talk · ctb)20:12, 7 September 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for maintaining this tool, I use it a lot. I do have a question about the accounting of MERGE. MERGE is considered as NOT matching the result. I guess that makes some sense in theory, but from my recent experience it does seem to work that well.
For example,Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Hair_serum was closed as merge, but later an editor who attempted the merge decided there was no properly sourced info to actually merge to the target so instead did a REDIRECT (which would have been a match).
Another example isWikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Bahía_del_Duque also closed as MERGE, where the intent was to delete the article and just add the subject into a list. I think the result here is much closer to DELETE than to KEEP.
My concern here is that I nominated two articles for deletion, and they were for all practical purposes deleted although the discussions were closed as MERGE, and my stats show a higher percentage of non-matching votes that I think they should.
I don't know if this has been discussed before anywhere. And I'm not sure how often things like this happen with MERGE or if these two cases are an anomaly. But if this is prevalent, maybe MERGE should be considered like NO CONSENSUS (yellow) - because there is obviously no automated way to delve in deeper.MB15:58, 21 September 2016 (UTC)

Seethis diff - for some reason it went and found a template call that was unrelated to anything, removed the template call, and...replaced it with "http://$3". I imagine this has something to do with finding thenth template after the references section, and replacing it with another template, but preserving its parameters. But clearly there are no safeguards :)
Just a note, I doubt this will be an issue in the future, but in case it was a sign of nastier problems on the horizon, I thought I would highlight it for you. --MarkTraceur (talk)14:40, 4 October 2016 (UTC)

Hi, It's now been three weeks since we created the NPP Work Group and we are hoping for a dynamic push forward for the urgent updates and required improvements to the quality control of new pages.
We now have the attention of the WMF and their development team has made page patrolling a top priority. They are already working hard to address some of the major issues.
The success of this depends on our team being able to keep the developers supplied with the feedback they need - if we relax on this they will move on.
If you have not already done so, please complete your list of10 preferenceshere as soon as possible from the list atTo do - the WMF is waiting for our shortlist. Please note that No.8 (NOINDEX) has already been addressed.

Greetings, all! We would like to announce the start of the 4thGA Cup, a competition that seeks to encourage the reviewing ofGood article nominations! Thus far, there have been three GA Cups, which were successful in reaching our goals of significantly reducing the traditionally long queue at GAN, so we're doing it again. Currently, there are over 400 nominations listed. We hope that we can again make an impact this time. The 4th GA Cup will begin onNovember 1, 2016. Four rounds are currently scheduled (which will bring the competition to a close on February 28, 2017), but this may change based on participant numbers. We may take a break in December for the holidays, depending on the results of a poll of our participants taken shortly after the competition begins. The sign-up and submissions process will remain the same, as will the scoring. Sign-ups for the upcoming competition are currently open and will close on November 14, 2016. Everyone is welcome to join; new and old editors, so sign-up now! If you have any questions, take a look at theFAQ page and/or contact one of the judges. Cheers from3family6,Figureskatingfan,Jaguar,MrWooHoo, andZwerg Nase. We apologize for the delay in sending out this message until after the competition has started. Thank you toKrishna Chaitanya Velaga for aiding in getting this message out. To subscribe or unsubscribe to future GA Cup newsletters, please add or remove your name toour mailing list. If you are a participant, you will be on the mailing list no matter what as this is the easiest way to communicate between all participants. |

Hi Enterprisey,
As an AfC reviewer you're probably aware that a new user right has been created for patrolling new pages (you might even have been granted the right already, and admins have it automatically).
Since July there has been a very serious backlog atSpecial:NewPagesFeed of over 14,000 pages, by far the worst since 2011, and we need an all out drive to get this back down to just a few hundred that can be easily maintained in the future. Unlike AfC, these pages are already in mainspace, and the thought of what might be there is quite scary. There are also many good faith article creators who need a simple, gentle push to the Tea House or their pages converted to Draft rather than being deleted.
AlthoughNew Page Reviewing can occasionally be somewhat more challenging than AfC, the criteria for obtaining the right are roughly the same. The Page Curation tool is even easier to use than the Helper Script, so it's likely that most AfC reviewers already have more than enough knowledge for the task of New Page Review.
It is hoped that AfC reviewers will apply for this right atWP:PERM and lend a hand. You'll need to have read the page atWP:NPR andthe new tutorial.

Hello Enterprisey. I had a quick query regarding the Afd Stats tool. In myAFD Stats' summary, my !vote for the AfdWikipedia:Articles for deletion/Clinton Foundation-State Department controversy is shown asDelete, while I only re-listed the said Afd once. Why might this be so? I'm also pingingΣ on this. Irrespective of this query, thanks for the tool. It provides a brilliant summary.Lourdes13:57, 16 November 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for the review, I understand your reasoning for requesting me to add this stub (perhaps) to the article on greenhouse gases. This content I feel is more related to the sociology of climate science rather than the hard science (as the greenhouse gas page is), and I anticipate it will be expanded on by the team of educators who work in this area. I think it is important to maintain the links to the science and would strive to add a section into the greenhouse gas page to link to this one. This metaphor is being spread as a way to understand the effect of CO2, and I feel that if people were to find it on wikipedia then they would be much more able to ground their information on this page than wading through the main article. If that make sense to you then please put the page up, if not I will try harder to convince you!

Hi! Thank you for your constructive comments about the proposed wikipedia page on MIRT.I have edited the page to add a dozen links to places where the toolbox is cited.In most of those cases the author is referencing MIRT(often called "Fessler image reconstruction toolbox" - an old informal name people made up).Most of the new links are discussing but not actually using MIRT,so I hope that counts as stronger evidence of its notability.
In my view this toolbox is quite similar to "Octave" which is a general-purpose software toolthat has a very long wikipedia page. Octave is software that many people use and it is helpfulto have a wikipedia page about it. MIRT is not as famous as Octavebut still lots of people use it and have referred to it.
Can you please let me know whether the references added are sufficient,or do I need to add more? There are about 3000 google hits when I search for this toolboxso I could keep adding more but would that really improve the page? Thanks!

Hi Enterprisey. I would like to request an opt-out to yourrecently active tool. I've started to notice over the past few weeks that as soon as I'm making an edit, I'm getting pings on IRC. While yes, this could be because these people have a bot with RC setup, I think part of the cause is this tool as someone told me about the tool today. Just because I am seen editing onwiki, does not mean that I have the time or the energy to deal with the requests, especially when they relate to my functionary tools. When I get these pings, they tend to take an hour or two out of my day, and then people who see me respond to that will have their own requests that they found a few hours ago, but never raised.
The simple solution would be if people stopped being lazy and took things to the appropriate venue onwiki to handle, especially in any complicated tasks. But I understand I can't move mountains. I've requested that people take things onwiki, but people just seem to drop the matter as if they don't care and don't wish to do the leg work at all, instead of taking it onwiki. This then forces me to find time later to actually, look, give them what they need, in which they thank me for. I do this because otherwise it means a blocked user escapes, or someones personal information is posted online. Meanwhile this just increases my stress and to do list. --Amanda(aka DQ)06:21, 13 March 2017 (UTC)
