Hey!

Hallo there, long time! Temptation Sordid, or, Virtue Rewarded was created purely because the play appears on the ludicrous list page List of works with the subtitle "Virtue Rewarded", which I keep asking to have speedied—look here and here. No joy, though! Hope you're back for good this time! Bishonen | talk 14:33, 2 August 2011 (UTC).

Why thank you. Glad to see that there's at least one familiar face still around. Doesn't look like the place has fallen apart in my absence, or changed at all for that matter! violet/riga (t) 19:00, 2 August 2011 (UTC)

A bowl of strawberries for you!

Welcome back. I didn't know you before, but I see you've added a lot of great content. SPhilbrickT 14:52, 2 August 2011 (UTC)

Thanks. I'll munch on them while considering the length of my return... Perhaps three and a half years is enough of a break. violet/riga (t) 19:01, 2 August 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Rio Ferdinand

If you would care to inspect, I have added all of the reliable sources I could find within the first 10 pages of a Google search for "Rio Ferdinand height". The results may surprise you. – PeeJay 20:48, 3 August 2011 (UTC)

The thing that surprises me is that it's different on so many reliable sites. It may take some time to figure out the truth. violet/riga _^[talk] 20:51, 3 August 2011 (UTC)

I think one thing is certain. Given the sheer number of sources on each side, I think we can safely say that Rio Ferdinand is not 6'5". – PeeJay 21:07, 3 August 2011 (UTC)

Welcome back, and thank you for your attention to the 2011 London riots article. Have some coffee. RandomAct(talk to me) 00:29, 9 August 2011 (UTC)

Hi. I believe there was not enough recent disruptive activity to justify semiprotection, let alone an indefinite one. You are involved in the editing of the article and acted unilaterally. There were good IP contributions. There are scores of examples of current events that have been left unprotected and clearly benefitted from that. Thanks for your consideration. 62.50.195.151 (talk) 06:37, 10 August 2011 (UTC)

I think that's a good approach.

To try to stabilise this, and raise another closely related issue, I've started a discussion topic here: Talk:2011 England riots#Location details, widespread pattern of arrests.

Berlin Wall FLC

I've struck out resolved comments. The book stil needs a page ref. I don't know if you can get a copy or not. In addition, I'd like to see TRM's comments resolved before I support. This is a really neat list. I still need more people to look if List of athletes from Montana FLC if you care to take a look.PumpkinSky talk 23:17, 6 September 2011 (UTC)

I responded to your comments on the athletes list and have asked three active Montana editors if they know of anything along the line you're asking about. Thanks for looking at it. PumpkinSky talk 20:45, 7 September 2011 (UTC)

I'm sure you're busy, but the Montana athletes list is nearing the bottom of the FLC list and I was wondering if you could look at it so we can work through whatever concerns are remaining. Many thanks for helping improve it. PumpkinSky talk 23:31, 9 September 2011 (UTC)

Hi Violetriga, can you revisit the above FLC when you get the chance? Thanks, Dabomb87 (talk) 16:08, 17 September 2011 (UTC)

Montana FLC

I apologise if you found my tone rude. I do not believe that we need to explain the significance of "sports" to our audience. But I do feel we need to help our audience understand something about "Montana". Personally I don't even know where it is in the US, what its climate is like, whether it's noted for producing specific types of athlete etc. So some background is both interesting and welcome to me. This may not be the case with folks familiar with the states of America, but for the remaining 6.5 billion of us, I still believe it to be of use. And I still don't know what harm it does. But nevertheless, sorry if I came across as unnecessarily unnecessary. I am, after all, a frightfully precocious Brit... The Rambling Man (talk) 18:47, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

Sorry, it wasn't your tone that I found a little rude, just that many people use the term "strawman" as an aggressive dismissal of another person's opinion; you were not aggressive though so lets forget about it. I probably have the same level of knowledge about US geography as you but don't find it necessary to know the nicknames of various places - I couldn't name all the states let alone the nicknames. In short: Info about Montana should be included in my opinion, but only that which pertains to sport (examples listed at the FLC). violet/riga _^[talk] 18:57, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

I think it's just about making an "engaging lead" which may need to draw in some elements that aren't 100% directly-related to the list but which provide a nice, informative context to people like us who don't even know where Montana is. In any case, I meant no offence, I get the feeling we'll have to agree to disagree! I don't want to continue discussion at this point at the FLC in case my "position" sways anything. So I'll leave it to you guys. I should have mentioned earlier, thanks for your interest and review, both very much appreciated. Hope we can continue to work together despite this "disagreement". All the best. The Rambling Man (talk) 19:15, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

The nominator has asked to withdraw the list. Is there any way we can find a compromise to this, or is it another bitter end...? The Rambling Man (talk) 19:41, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

Yep, I like what you've done. Thanks for your understanding and patience, and for your suggestions. Best wishes. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:27, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

Interview with Wikimedia Foundation

Hi Violet, I hope you're well. My name is Matthew and I'm a Storyteller on the fundraising team at the Wikimania Foundation. In preparation for the 2011 fundraiser this November-December, I'm interviewing Wikipedians who contribute significantly to the projects. In the past, we've relied pretty heavily on Jimmy to carry the fundraising burden, and while his appeals have done very well, he alone doesn't represent the multitude of content creators on Wikipedia. I'm curious if you would like to interview with me? I would hope to speak with you for about 60 minutes and would ask you a number of questions about your personal experiences editing on Wikipedia and about its impact more generally. If you are inclined, please email mroth (at) wikimedia.org. Thanks! Matthew (WMF) 00:11, 28 September 2011 (UTC)

Welcome back, snail racer

I was looking again at this sublime wee article today, remembering it being attemptedly speedied at the time of its birth. Then I wistfully clicked on your username, to remind myself of exactly when you left WP, apparently driven off by the rather virulent politicking of the time?

And I saw you'd been editing regularly again since July! This makes me smile. Regards, --DeLarge (talk) 14:43, 29 September 2011 (UTC)

DYK question

Thanks for evaluating the Template:Did you know nominations/Convention for the Safeguarding of Intangible Cultural Heritage. I have a quick question on one of your comments. You indicated that the date should have been September 22, which was the date of the article's creation. However, I originally worked on the article in my userspace, only moving it to mainspace on September 24. Do we measure by date of first creation, or date of creation in mainspace? I only ask because I have a draft of two that have been hanging out in my userspace for many months that I haven't yet got enough sources to support moving to main, and I'm wondering if they'll be DYK eligible if I ever can complete them? Qwyrxian (talk) 23:29, 2 October 2011 (UTC)

You are correct. Sorry, I failed to spot the page move. DYK is for articles new to the main namespace. violet/riga _^[talk] 09:29, 3 October 2011 (UTC)

Question about Trained hymenoptera page

In the Trained hymenoptera page, what does the reference to pollination by apis mellifera have to do with trained bees? This doesn't seem to be linked to the main point of the article, but I thought I would ask you about it before starting a hack and slash campaign on your article :)J appleseed2 (talk) 15:52, 7 October 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the courtesy. I've tried to expand the section slightly to explain this a little further. Bees and wasps are integral to many pollination systems and may not have do so without encouragement. It's not exactly "training" but I think that it does link to it and deserves a mention. violet/riga _^[talk] 17:42, 7 October 2011 (UTC)

Do you know what happened to the DYK nomination? It seems to have disappeared, and I thought something would be published on it yesterday (Bill Smith's funeral). It was timely, properly cited, and I think had a good hook. Thanks. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 09:40, 15 October 2011 (UTC)

Featured articles in other languages

Hello, I don't know if I can actually edit the page myself, and I fear that even if I could, I'd mess up the layout. I have expanded significantly the Francesco Guccini article (it is now 84,346 bytes and I nominated it for GA), partially translating from the FA article on it.wiki, and I'd like to update the Featured articles in other languages page to reflect this change. I don't know whether it should just be deleted from the list, or if a "Progress" column should be created. I really don't know how to approach updating the page, hence I thought of contacting you, you seem the "main responsible". Sorry for bothering you, and props for the Project page, it's really very useful (and I'll try to translate more from that page). Zidanie5 (talk) 18:07, 1 November 2011 (UTC)

Hello! Your submission of François Dominique Séraphin at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and there still are some issues that may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) underneath your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! Peter I. Vardy (talk) 16:25, 16 August 2012 (UTC)

Hi. I found the article very interesting, and the hook is in fact covered generally in the body of the article. But the rules say "The hook fact must have an inline citation right after it..."; hence my comment. May I suggest two options: either you do what I said in the review, and then I can give a ; or leave it to "them" to sort it. I see the DYK process as a sort of "game"; follow the rules so that you can get what you want. Then if the DYK is accepted, you can always delete the superfluous citation after it appears on the main page! Cheers. --Peter I. Vardy (talk) 19:47, 16 August 2012 (UTC)

Yes, which is why I didn't close the nomination and gave you some time to attend to it.

Robert David Matthews?

Hi, may I ask why you moved Rob Matthews to Robert David Matthews? I see no apparent benefit from this and per WP:COMMONNAME we are encouraged to use the subject's most commonly used name in reliable English-language sources, meaning the former is correct. I don't think many readers looking for the footballer are going to see "Robert David Matthews" and immediately realise that's their man. Cheers, Mattythewhite (talk) 23:03, 29 August 2012 (UTC)

Because there are many other people who could be called "Rob Matthews", so disambiguation is the best situation. I initially moved him to Rob Matthews (footballer) but there is already a Robert William Matthews who could claim that article name. I don't believe that he qualifies as the primary holder of that name as there are several other worthy claimants. Cheers, violet/riga _^[talk] 23:08, 29 August 2012 (UTC)

Like you say, there could be others called "Rob Matthews", but at the moment there aren't. And the Robert William Matthews article itself says the subject was known as "Billy Matthews", we can't speculate that he may have been known as "Rob Matthews". There aren't any other Rob Matthews for the article to be disambiguated with, so I still don't see why it needed moving. Cheers, Mattythewhite (talk) 23:14, 29 August 2012 (UTC)

Well all people called Robert will have been called Rob at some point, but more specifically Robert Matthews (athlete) is often know as Rob Matthews. violet/riga _^[talk] 23:18, 29 August 2012 (UTC)

But the purpose of titling conventions is to make it clear to readers who they're looking for, is it not? For example, using WP:COMMONNAME, subjects referred to by reliable sources as Rob should be "Rob [surname]", those referred to as Bob should be "Bob [surname]", etc. That's the way it's always been done, unless something has significantly changed recently that I'm unaware of. It seems counterproductive to refer to subjects by their full names in their article titles; the purpose of disambiguation is to make it easier for readers to find who they're looking for, when in reality they'll have no idea what that person's full name. And if the athlete is more commonly known as Rob, then why not have "Rob Matthews (athlete)"? It'll make life a lot easier for our readers, who are looking for a guy, who, afterall, is known as Rob Matthews, not Robert Matthews. Cheers, Mattythewhite (talk) 23:33, 29 August 2012 (UTC)

We do use their common name as long as there are no other people known by that name. A quick Google search (Rob Matthews football) shows a number of people known as Rob Matthews who play football. Yes, he is probably the most well known footballer by that name and could reside at Rob Matthews (footballer) but that also introduces the problem of the term "footballer" (damn Americans). He can't claim Rob Matthews because other people could. Robert Matthews (athlete) is so located because he is known by three variants: Robert, Rob, and Bob. Using his full first name is the best solution for that one. violet/riga _^[talk] 23:43, 29 August 2012 (UTC)

When there's variation in name used, like with the athlete, I agree it makes sense to use his full first name. But in cases where there's a clear common name and no other subject in the same field, like with the footballer, I see no reason to not use the common name. From experience, I don't think the possible ambiguity regarding code of football should be considered an issue unless another subject who plays a different code does appear. So, say an American football player called Rob Matthews crops up, I believe the correct approach would be to title the original one "Rob Matthews (English footballer)" and the new one "Rob Matthews (American football)".

Hand-coding

Hey all :).

I'm dropping you a note because you've been involved in dealing with feedback from the Article Feedback Tool. To get a better handle on the overall quality of comments now that the tool has become a more established part of the reader experience, we're undertaking a round of hand coding - basically, taking a sample of feedback and marking each piece as inappropriate, helpful, so on - and would like anyone interested in improving the tool to participate :).

You can code as many or as few pieces of feedback as you want: this page should explain how to use the system, and there is a demo here. Once you're comfortable with the task, just drop me an email at okeyeswikimedia.org and I'll set you up with an account :).

If you'd like to chat with us about the research, or want live tutoring on the software, there will be an office hours session on Monday 17 December at 23:00 UTC in #wikimedia-office ^connect. Hope to see some of you there! Thanks, Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 23:25, 14 December 2012 (UTC)

Re: the Veg Shed

Articles are not supposed to be created until there is sufficient there to be in the mainspace. You should have written the rest and then saved it, or at least added a source. Two minutes it may be, but if there isn't enough there to justify keeping, I'm inclined to speedy. Rcsprinter (articulate) @ 11:33, 20 August 2013 (UTC)

We're supposed to have a collaborative approach which requires even small, baseline articles to be created. And having something is better than nothing especially as just one sentence was enough to establish notability. Being too quick on the speedy trigger discourages editors, particularly novices. violet/riga _^[talk] 11:37, 20 August 2013 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:Beauty micrometer.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Beauty micrometer.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 21:40, 11 November 2013 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Storylines of Neighbours

The article Storylines of Neighbours has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Article is redundant to the many character/storyline/episode articles available. It contains one source and no out of universe information. I believe WP:IINFO would apply here.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

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.

Extended confirmed protection

Hello, Violetriga. 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 Wikipedia: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.
This message was sent to the administrators' mass message list. To opt-out of future messages, please remove yourself from the list. 17:49, 23 September 2016 (UTC)

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 Violetriga.

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) 13:48, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Kak Channthy

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Kak Channthy requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a band or musician, but it does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Nazi gold train

A single train -- or even several -- supposedly buried in a cave is not the same thing as a train graveyard, which is a place where multiple train equipment is put when it is taken out of service. The use of "graveyard" is metaphorical, and does not imply that the equipment there is buried. Please stop inserting a link to train graveyard in this article, it is not appropriate. Beyond My Ken (talk) 15:10, 2 April 2018 (UTC)

I'm glad that you've started to engage in discussion. Given that a train and its car(s) are theorised to be buried I'm happy that it meets your "multiple" statement. Both articles mention the Owl Mountains and the tunnels. Even if it's only tangentially linked then a link is acceptable - it's not an unwanted addition of text, just a link. Furthermore train graveyard specifically mentions and links to Nazi gold train so I'm not sure why there can't be a reciprocating link. violet/riga _^[talk] 15:15, 2 April 2018 (UTC)

No, sorry, the link is not acceptable, as a buried train is not what is meant by a "train graveyard." 15:23, 2 April 2018 (UTC)

Oh, I didn't realise that I was talking to the authority on the subject. Ever heard of civilised discussion? violet/riga _^[talk] 15:25, 2 April 2018 (UTC)

Your sarcasm is unwarranted and inappropriate. Please discuss this issue on the article's talk page, Talk:Nazi gold train#"Train graveyard". Beyond My Ken (talk) 15:29, 2 April 2018 (UTC)

You reverting me and coming to my talkpage with that attitude is not appropriate. violet/riga _^[talk] 15:32, 2 April 2018 (UTC)

No, your restoring material without a proper citation on Train graveyard is what is not appropriate, as it is a blatant violation of WP:V.

I came to your talk page to explain why I reverted your edit, and you responded with sarcasm: "Oh, I didn't realize I was talking to the worl'sauthority on the subject", so I created a thread for discussion to take place on the article's talk page. That's all very appropriate, and all very Wiki-normal. What's not appropriate is your WP:OWNership issues on Train graveyard, and your edit-warring to restore disputed material after it have been removed on grounds of WP:Verifiability, a core Wikipedia policy. Beyond My Ken (talk) 16:12, 2 April 2018 (UTC)

You started with the attitude. violet/riga _^[talk] 16:14, 2 April 2018 (UTC)

Actually, I didn;t, I matter-of-factly presented why I reverted your edit, that you chose to take it that way is your problem, not mine. Inany case, the issue at hand is that you are edit-pwarring to restore material which has been deleted on the ground of verifiability of the supposed fact that the burial of a train to hide it is a 'train greyard" within the meaning of that metaphorical expression. As I said, if you continue, I'll have no choice but to take this to AN/I. Beyond My Ken (talk) 16:17, 2 April 2018 (UTC)

IMO you did, hence the same being given back to you. What a shame that you're convinced to remove things rather than adding to this place. violet/riga _^[talk] 16:19, 2 April 2018 (UTC)
