Hi Media-hound-thethird! Thanks for participating at the Teahouse, as you experience is so valuable for educating new editors about Wikipedia! I would like to encourage you to consider becoming a Teahouse host. You can learn a bit more about the Teahouse hosts here. They're the team behind the Teahouse and provide a lot of input about it's growth process. That link will also tell you about the mission behind the Hosts and what makes us different than other help spaces on Wikipedia - we say hi, we're friendly, and we're not chock full of jargon. I look forward to your continued participation. Thank you for all you do! Sarah (talk) 00:50, 15 May 2012 (UTC)Reply

Hello, I did some editing to DJ Mell Starr's page with hopes that you would take a 2nd look and let me know how it looks now. thk u QTPepsi (talk) 02:15, 18 May 2012 (UTC)Reply

 

A kitten for you for all of your kind words and help. I really do appreciate it. :)

Hey Media-hound! I was wondering if you would be willing to glance over Battle of Verdun and tell me if it looks pretty good. I've submitted it for re-assessment to B-class, and I'm a little nervous about it, haha. Timeweaver (talk) 21:49, 21 May 2012 (UTC)Reply

Many thanks for the Teahouse barnstar. You have restored my faith in Wikipedia! Keep up the good work countering the systemic bias. Dahliarose (talk) 00:35, 27 May 2012 (UTC)Reply

Pass a Method talk - the Rfc goes to the correct page - if you have specific instructions that comment should be made else where - then those instructions should be clear. If I had wished to make comment on another page I am more than capable of doing so. As It was I clearly did not wish to do so. I also note that you are canvassing in support of a certain view - and have even been doing it on Jimbo's page - kindly consider Wikipedia:Canvassing.

I also note MOST POINTEDLY that you have not apologised!

Comment refactored Wikipedia:Refactoring as it was placed on page whilst the page was in edit mode - Page "preview" does not show such comments that have arrived once editing has commenced - thereby providing a misleading time line of communication and knowledge. Recommended Reading

Hey, I think I've seen you say that you are good at finding sources. I would like to find some sources for Vincent Price (educator) that aren't affiliated with the school. I'll start looking through the DP, but I'm really looking for biographical information and I doubt that the newspaper will provide it. It is difficult to look through the web, because it is flooded with results for Vincent Price the actor. Ryan Vesey Review me! 03:43, 6 June 2012 (UTC)Reply

I see that you have gone to great lengths checking references on the ICD article; I just wanted to thank you for that, as I have spent some time on that article as well, and it has been a bit of an uphill battle. Also, well done for checking the rules and guidelines so carefully! SkaraB 21:10, 9 June 2012 (UTC)Reply

SkaraB It's nothing personal! When I signed up for Rfc the one on ICD was one of the first that I believed I could contribute to. Rfc's are a very useful way in seeing how Wiki Land works - the multitude of issues goes from the Prosaic To the Highly Complex and even diplomatic. I may have even de-balkanised the Balkans! P^)

When looking at the Rfc for The Institute for Cultural Diplomacy I was very sceptical and looked at everything. I do assume WP:GOODFAITH but even when assuming that I do assess matters independently - my opinion is my own and stays my own, even if ""I"" change it. I learned a lot by having to check the wondrous ways of Wiki Land - and when it came to referencing and judging carefully against standards, it was also good practice.

That was why, when I had given me opinion on the Rfc I also edited and removed content that was date dependent ( Out of date and unverifiable ) as well as removing citations and links to sources that were no longer valid - and there was no trace in such places as The Internet archive/wayback machine or other similar resources.

I'm happy to dig for info and meet the Wiki standard of Wikipedia:Verifiability, not truth - even if it sticks in My Craw sometimes - Take Deep-fried Mars bar - I know the the entry "The dish is said to have been invented in 1995 in the Haven Chip Bar (now the Carron) in Stonehaven, near Aberdeen on Scotland's northeast coast." is total Rubbish - It's Wrong in so many ways - I was eating deep fried confectionery, including mars bars, at least ten years earlier in Glasgow. .... can't find a source to verify it, but can find loads of people who agree and know that Wiki is wrong. That's the problem with drunken students waking up and wondering why they are covered in chip fat and chocolate - too confused to write about the issue for posterity. I have a personal mission to right that wrong! C'est la vie - options 3 & 4 apply. P^)

Media-Hound 'D 3rd P^) (talk) 22:40, 9 June 2012 (UTC)Reply
  • Not personal for me either - I have nothing to do with the organisation, like you I am interested in Wikipedia being a reliable source of information, not a billboard for private interests.

Will look out for the truth about fried Mars Bars! SkaraB 13:25, 11 June 2012 (UTC)Reply

Ditto about ICD. I'm also glad somebody else is taking an interest in the article and for trying to shepard things along toward some sort of conclusion (either deletion or an quality encyclopedic article). The article has certainly been a mess in the past and I'm really happy to see progress and interest from people who are plausibly not connected to the organization. —mako 14:38, 12 June 2012 (UTC)Reply
Benjamin - my interest has been purely academic as it was basically the first RFC I felt I could make rational contribution to. I did not even know that Icd existed until being asked to take part in the Rfc. I am aware that others have been accused of WP:COI, and I have taken note of that but it has in no way reduced my opinion. I have been hunting for rational WP:NPOV sources about Icd, and they just don't exist. I would have cleaned up as you did today - but having asked for Afd I did not wish to be seen as acting against my own actions in asking for Afd. I'm sure that if I had cleaned up so much of the mess I would have been accused of some form of weird revenge, harassment and WP:BADFAITH. It has been amusing being told at the Afd, by the mysterious new editor, that I am wrong and can't read. I'm still in many ways getting used to the arcane ways round here. I have to also say that having looked at the full history of the Icd page it has been used as a shop front - and it's just a pity that it has taken so long for others to recognise and even consider acting. That was why I asked for rapid deletion, it seemed the rational course of action - for me it was G11. Unambiguous advertising or promotion. - others didn't agree. It has taken time to read and check the excessive references provided. I do wish that some would stop just googling, seeing a page of supposed content and saying Notable. When you have hundreds of minor hits due to self promotion and advertising it does skew perceptions. But then again - that's the Googlearchy for you. People buy what they see, rather than reading the small print and references. Media-Hound 'D 3rd P^) (talk) 18:32, 12 June 2012 (UTC)Reply
Well it's great to have you and I think you've handled things well. I think you're one of only two people who responded to the RfC, but you've been real helpful. And don't worry too much about the grife and drama from new mysterious newbie. Everyone else sees what you do and they'll take it into account. :) My first invovlement with this article was on the day I heard of ICD as well. —mako 00:21, 15 June 2012 (UTC)Reply
Just chiming in... Thanks for all the hard work to you and to mako! SkaraB 14:18, 17 June 2012 (UTC)Reply

  Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You could also click on the signature button   or   located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when they said it. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 02:22, 10 June 2012 (UTC)Reply

Dear -SineBot - I'm Human! I WP:DGAF and I also believe in WP:IAR. So what is your excuse? Where is the rule that overrides WP:IAR and says that "Thou Shalt Be Spanked"?Media-Hound 'D 3rd P^) (talk) 02:55, 10 June 2012 (UTC)Reply

I signed this time - thanks for the spanking! Where can I award you a Barnstar for being a technocratic monstrosity, that wastes peoples time - and drives new editors away? You are badly designed and operate improperly. How do I get you reprogrammed - or better still the technocrat who programmed you re-educate?

Spank me again! I may grow to like it! That, or I will WP:IAR

 
  •   arguing with a mindless bot wont get you a help. Whats more amusing is you signed the first time but again forgot the second time after you added some more text above . I agree it might be a bit disturbing to be reminded repeatedly by the bot, but this nagging will not occur after you have made a habit to sign, and dont forget. Even I was terrorized by sinebot in my early days but I later realized it was actually good. :) I hope you will agree why Wikipedia:Signatures are so important , regards --DℬigXray 20:44, 11 June 2012 (UTC)Reply
Dℬig - I did not forget to sign - I deliberately experimented to see if Sinebot has a brain. P^) It turns out not. As long as the signature appears in the post it is accepted ... unless I'm being hounded by Sinebot and it's waiting to pounce again. - I have also awarded Sinebot and "The tireless cybernetic contributor Barnstar" - and best of all, because it was done whilst the Wiki land servers were on the fritz, it got awarded Twice! Now that is Kismet! Sometimes railing against the machine has odd outcomes.

Greetings, Media Hound 3. I was happy to see you mention the shortcut to getting refs from Google books in a message at the Teahouse. Unfortunately the link isn't working for me. It might be my computer, however, as it is starting to give me problems and I think I'm going to have to give it to somebody to look at. I'll really miss it! But I wanted to let you know so you could double check it and make sure it's OK. I'm saving it for later, because it could really save me some time.

I'm so glad you're helping out at the Teahouse, you have a great combination of knowledge and the ability to handle questions in a simple, friendly manner. Thanks for the time you put in. Tlqk56 (talk) 16:17, 11 June 2012 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for the heads up - I've checked it out and it's working fine for me! http://reftag.appspot.com
I corrected the markup in the Teahouse reply, per Help:Link#External links. The piping format's different for external links. Hope you don't mind. -- Trevj (talk) 07:33, 12 June 2012 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for your reply. For some reason that link works -- YEA! And I will definitely look into the other things you listed. It's nice not to get inundated with info when you're really new, but I agree it can be harder to find the helpful tips than it should be. When I think of the hours I spent trying to find where I'd messed up a ref when I first started! I like using the drop down menu in the editing window now. But it's still a lot of cut-and-paste, and I'm a sloppy typist who needs new glasses, so I still waste time with silly errors.

Can I ask you another question? I find I'm wasting time getting to the various sandboxes I've created. Right now I have to click on My Watchlist, then on View and Edit Watchlist, then scroll down and find the one I want and click on it. Is there a way to make a shortcut to them, maybe with tabs at the top of my user page or something? Or just a common sense way to get there quicker? Typing it in isn't really a solution, as I can't always remember what I've called them, and I'm still slow with the symbols. Thanks again.

And yes, for heaven's sake, let's not make it easy on the newbies. Reminds me of my grandmother getting a little upset at a friend of hers who didn't like having a new family from Mexico in her neighborhood, saying we should send them all back where they came from. Grandma reminded her her family wasn't native to eastern CO, either. Ask her if she was volunteering to go back to the then USSR. :) Tlqk56 (talk) 17:13, 11 June 2012 (UTC)Reply

Hey Tlqk56, I find the best way is for you to create an index in a subpage you will remember. Personally, I have a to do list that I can reach from the tabs on the top of my talk page. I also transclude the to do list onto the top of my talk page for easy reference (and it makes me more motivated to complete them). For the time being this shows you a list of all of your subpages and can be found by going to Special:PrefixIndexRyan Vesey Review me! 21:49, 11 June 2012 (UTC)Reply

...is the sincerest form of flattery. I copied your RFC box, played around with it just a bit, and have it on my User page to keep track of my article in progress. Thanks! Tlqk56 (talk) 02:14, 12 June 2012 (UTC)Reply

Hi! Welcome to the fourth issue of The Tea Leaf, the official newsletter for the Teahouse!

  • Teahouse pilot wraps up after 13 weeks After being piloted on English Wikipedia starting in February, the Teahouse wrapped up its pilot period on May 27, 2012. We expect this is just the beginning for the Teahouse and hope the project will continue to grow in the months to come!

Thank you and congratulations to all of the community members who participated - and continue to participate!

  • What you've all been waiting for: Teahouse Pilot Report is released! We look forward to your feedback on the methodology and outcomes of this pilot project.
  • ....and if a pilot report wasn't enough, the Teahouse Pilot Metrics Report is out too! Dive into the numbers and survey results to learn about the impact the Teahouse has made on English Wikipedia.
  • Teahouse shows positive impact on new editor retention and engagement
 
  • 409 new editors participated during the entire pilot period, with about 40 new editors participating in the Teahouse per week.
  • Two weeks after participating, 33% of Teahouse guests are still active on Wikipedia, as opposed to 11% of a similar control group.
  • New editors who participated in the Teahouse edit 10x the number of articles, make 7x more global edits, and 2x as much of their content survives on Wikipedia compared to the control group.
  • Women participate in the Teahouse 28% of Teahouse participants were women, up from 9% of editors on Wikipedia in general, good news for this project which aimed to have impact on the gender gap too - but still lots to be done here!
  • New opportunities await for the Teahouse in phase two as the Teahouse team and Wikipedia community examine ways to improve, scale, and sustain the project. Opportunities for future work include:
  • Automating or semi-automating systems such as invites, metrics and archiving
  • Experimenting with more ways for new editors to discover the Teahouse
  • Building out the social and peer-to-peer aspects further, including exploring ways to make answering questions easier, creating more ways for new editors to help each other and for all participants to acknowledge each other's efforts
  • Growing volunteer capacity, continuing to transfer Teahouse administration tasks to volunteers whenever possible, and looking for new ways to make maintenance and participation easier for everyone.
  • Want to know how you can lend a hand at the Teahouse? Become a host! Learn more about what makes the Teahouse different than other help spaces on Wikipedia and see how you can help new editors by visiting here.
  • Say hello to the new guests at the Teahouse. Take the time to welcome and get to know the latest guests at the Teahouse. Drop off some wikilove to these editors today, as being welcomed by experienced editors is really encouraging to new Wikipedians.

Stop by for a tasty glass of wiki-iced tea at the Teahouse, today!

Hi! Welcome to the fifth edition of The Tea Leaf, the official newsletter of the Teahouse!

  • Guest activity increased in July. Questions are up from an average of 36 per week in June to 43 per week in July, and guest profile creation has also increased. This is likely a result of the automatic invite experiments we started near the end of month, which seeks to lessen the burden on hosts and other volunteers who manually invite editors. During the last week of July, questions doubled in the Teahouse! (But don't let that deter you from inviting editors to the Teahouse, please, there are still lots of new editors who haven't found Teahouse yet.)
  • More Teahouse hosts than ever. We had 12 new hosts sign up to participate at the Teahouse! We now have 35 hosts volunteering at the Teahouse. Feel free to stop by and see them all here.
  • Phase two update: Host sprint. In August, the Teahouse team plans to improve the host experience by developing a simpler new-host creation process, a better way of surfacing active hosts, and a host lounge renovation. Take a look at the plan and weigh in here.
  • New Teahouse guest barnstar is awarded to first recipient: Charlie Inks. Using the Teahouse barnstar designed by Heatherawalls, hosts hajatvrc and Ryan Vesey created the new Teahouse Guest Barnstar. The first recipient is Charlie Inks, for her boldness in asking questions at the Teahouse. Check out the award in action here.
  • Teahouse was a hot topic at Wikimania! The Teahouse was a hot topic at Wikimania this past month, where editor retention and interface design was heavily discussed. Sarah and Jonathan presented the Teahouse during the Wikimedia Fellowships panel. Slides can be viewed here. A lunch was also held at Wikimania for Teahouse hosts.

As always, thanks for supporting the Teahouse project! Stop by and visit us today!

Hi! Welcome to the sixth edition of The Tea Leaf, the official newsletter of the Teahouse!

  • Teahouse serves over 700 new editors in six months on Wikipedia! Since February 27, 741 new editors have participated at the Teahouse. The Q&A board and the guest intro pages are more active than ever.
 
A lovely little teahouse nestled in Germany from Wiki Loves Monuments
  • Automatic invites are doing the trick: 50% more new editors visiting each week. Ever since HostBot's automated invite trial phase began we've seen a boost in new editor participation. Automating a baseline set of invitations also allows Teahouse hosts to focus on serving hot cups of help to guests, instead of spending countless hours inviting.
  • Guests to the Teahouse continue to edit more & interact more with other community members than non-Teahouse guests according to six month metrics. Teahouse guests make more than twice the article edits and edit more talk pages than other new editors.
  • New host process implemented which encourages anyone to get started as a Teahouse host in a few easy steps. Stop by the hosts page and become a Teahouse host today!
  • Host lounge renovations nearing completion. Working closely with Teahouse hosts, we've made some major renovations to the Teahouse Host Lounge - the main hangout and resource space for hosts. Learn more about the improvements here.

As always, thanks for supporting the Teahouse project! Stop by and visit us today!

Thank you for commenting at a RFC at Talk:Derby sex gang. I was hoping you could clarify why you favored narrowing down the 13-strong gang to just the 7 convicted of sex related offenses, despite sources asserting that they were all part of this gang. Ankh.Morpork 22:50, 21 January 2013 (UTC)Reply

Quoting BBC News from 24 November 2010 ""The undercover investigation by Derbyshire Police, Operation Retriever, was split into three trials which have run since February."" - so you have many attempting to synthesise what are three Trials which ran in the same court at the same time into one event! That it was necessary for legal process for evidence from all three to flow readily across the court room to assist the Jury and both defence and prosecution is not relevant. What is relevant is that there were three trails - and as such the gang motif and idea keeps being lazily transposed to all accused - all acquitted and anyone who was found guilty of any charge! That is wrong! It does not matter what a source says - if you know it is contaminated and suspect it should not be pushed! ... that's the Wiki View ... do you need the full legal view and also the Victims Rights View which for me is more compelling that all others!

Hey, Media-hound, since you're insistent about throwing the language of NLT at AtG, here's your talkpage request, from a totally uninvolved editor no less: your language on AnkhMorphok's page (particularly the sentence "If they continue a formal complaint should be made", coming immediately after references to the UK cyberbullying law) could easily be interpreted as a legal threat; please retract it per our policy on legal threats, which you apparently have already read.
