IP editors

Do we have an exposition or should we do one on the greatest IP editors on Wikipedia? Noaccount4736954 (talk) 01:11, 6 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Noaccount4736954: There's probably an essay somewhere about the few IP editors that have done edited long and well enough to gain some notoriety, but the name of it escapes my mind. -- I dream of horses (My talk page) (My edits) @ 01:13, 6 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism

Do we know what percent of new accounts and new IP edits are done to vandalize? Noaccount4736954 (talk) 17:22, 6 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Noaccount4736954: 80% of IP edits are 'good faith'. That is, they might mess things up, but they're trying to do well. On the other hand, 80% of vandalism comes from IP editors.

Not sure about new accounts. -- I dream of horses (My talk page) (My edits) @ 18:38, 6 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

- Draft:Sigma Group of Institutes (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Hi there. I'm asking about a page that I am a student at: https://wiki.riteme.site/w/index.php?title=Draft:Sigma_Group_of_Institutes&action=edit

I read the guidelines on https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Wikipedia:Citing_sources and believe to have followed them. What is wrong with the following references please? It says in Wikipedia that all schools and colleges can have a page.

@Boiledcorn: Schools tend to "pass" articles for deletions, but this isn't a universal thing. I was concerned with the reliablity of the sources you provided, and in a couple of cases, rather or not the organization might've paid the newspaper to publish an article. That's why I declined the draft. I dream of horses (My talk page) (My edits) @ 22:25, 17 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Email

If I send you an email, Will you keep it Confidential?--Thegooduser Let's Chat 🍁 22:17, 17 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Thegooduser: I get sent email by people who don't understand talk pages all the time. Unless there's a compelling reason not to keep confendential, it's confendential. -- I dream of horses (My talk page) (My edits) @ 22:21, 17 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

So you don't share them?Thegooduser Let's Chat 🍁 22:23, 17 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Thegooduser: Unless I get a court order to share them (probably won't happen), or you harass or threaten me, no. I won't share them. I've never shared an email. -- I dream of horses (My talk page) (My edits) @ 22:26, 17 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

A message from 128.111.220.125

Hello,

You recently un-did my edits to this page https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/SNAP_(Science_for_Nature_and_People). I am a communications intern for the Science and Nature People Partnership and my supervisors have asked me to edit the page to reflect our changes in management in addition to giving the page more timeless information. It had outdated listings of old projects that are no longer relevant. I have never edited a wikipedia page before so I don't know what the heck I'm doing or what the courtesies are but I would appreciate if you would return my edits to the page. If I need to give you more information to verify this then I'm happy to oblige.

Thanks, Amanda

(edit conflict) Since you're technically a "paid editor" (that is, editing Wikipedia is, at the moment, part of your job), I'll adjust my advice as necessary.

You need to announce that you're doing this as a part of your job. This would be somewhat easier to do if you register an account since that would give you a userpage to do this, but you don't have to do this.

What you need to do to get the edit through is put {{request edit}} on the talk page of the article, at the bottom of the page. Explain the situation (what needs to be done, that you're a paid editor, etc.) underneath it. Adding any sources that verify what you want to be done would probably help with coming up with an acceptable solution.

You self-reverted this message, but the information above should help in the future. I dream of horses (My talk page) (My edits) @ 21:23, 26 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

NPR Newsletter No.12 30 July 2018

Chart of the New Pages Patrol backlog for the past 6 months. (Purge)

Hello I dream of horses/2018, thank you for your work reviewing New Pages!

June backlog drive

Overall the June backlog drive was a success, reducing the last 3,000 or so to below 500. However, as expected, 90% of the patrolling was done by less than 10% of reviewers.
Since the drive closed, the backlog has begun to rise sharply again and is back up to nearly 1,400 already. Please help reduce this total and keep it from raising further by reviewing some articles each day.

New technology, new rules

New features are shortly going to be added to the Special:NewPagesFeed which include a list of drafts for review, OTRS flags for COPYVIO, and more granular filter preferences. More details can be found at this page.
Probationary permissions: Now that PERM has been configured to allow expiry dates to all minor user rights, new NPR flag holders may sometimes be limited in the first instance to 6 months during which their work will be assessed for both quality and quantity of their reviews. This will allow admins to accord the right in borderline cases rather than make a flat out rejection.
Current reviewers who have had the flag for longer than 6 months but have not used the permissions since they were granted will have the flag removed, but may still request to have it granted again in the future, subject to the same probationary period, if they wish to become an active reviewer.

Editathons

Editathons will continue through August. Please be gentle with new pages that obviously come from good faith participants, especially articles from developing economies and ones about female subjects. Consider using the 'move to draft' tool rather than bluntly tagging articles that may have potential but which cannot yet reside in mainspace.

The Signpost

The next issue of the monthly magazine will be out soon. The newspaper is an excellent way to stay up to date with news and new developments between our newsletters. If you have special messages to be published, or if you would like to submit an article (one about NPR perhaps?), don't hesitate to contact the editorial team here.

Go here to remove your name if you wish to opt-out of future mailings. — Insertcleverphrasehere ^{(or here)} 00:00, 30 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

A message from 99.254.82.72

Hello I do not know how to contact Wiki senior editors, you previously left a post responding to some of my edits so I'm trying to contact an editor via you. Please review the entry for the tennis player Nikoloz Basilashvili. Someone, definitely not me, left an obscene photo there that should be removed immediately. thanks A-W 99.254.82.72 (talk) 19:06, 29 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
