== Re: ArbCom Mentorship ==

Hey, MWOAP, sorry for the long delay. I've taken a look at your edits, and to be entirely honest, you don't have anywhere near enough experience yet. I can see that your account was registered back in 2007, but you've only been regularly editing since this year, and not very heavily at that. Arbitration Clerks are ideally users who have a wide range of experiences on the project, particularly within dispute resolution, and are users who have demonstrated that they hold the community's trust to be a dependable user. Clerks are also often administrators, as the tools assist in the execution of our duties. If this is something you'd like to get involved in at some point in the future, keep in mind that positions on the clerk corps are offered by the clerk corps based on a list of potential candidates we and ArbCom maintain. My advice to you would be to remain active, with particular attention to the "back-lines" duties, clearing out backlogs and the like. After a year or so, consider admin coaching or an RFA to gauge your standing in the community. Thanks for your interest. ] <sup>(]/]/])</sup> 03:52, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

This is an automated message from ]. I have performed a web search with the contents of ], and it appears to be very similar to another Misplaced Pages page: ].

::Hi. I'm clearing out the SCV listings for this day and came upon this particular article. Given your note here, it seems perhaps you may not fully grasp the attribution requirements for ]. While you noted the split at , attribution requires at minimum a direct link to the source article in the edit summary. (Something like "Material copied from <nowiki>]</nowiki>" would do.) creates an even worse situation, as the deletion of the article means that the attribution history is lost. Without that, the article is a copyright violation. Misplaced Pages's contributors don't release their text into public domain, but only grant permission for reuse if the licensing conditions (including attribution) are met. In a case like this one, it is better to simply ] the page, which doesn't require copying & pasting material at all, but is a mechanical function that any autoconfirmed user can do (except where there's already a page at the destination point or the article has been protected against it.)

::I've eliminating the copyright problem by restoring the deleted article and merging it into the new location for the text, ]. But if you've moved articles or split them without proper attribution before, please let me know or take steps to provide proper attribution. Otherwise, we can't legally display it. :) -

:::Wow, ok, I didn't realize I screwed up this bad. I forgot about this article after I made the move. I saw the page of copying within wiki a few days ago when dealing with other page moves & stuff.

== GA review of ] ==

MWOAP, thanks for your GA review of ]. I have currently fixed all of the issues with the article that you pointed out, with the exception of the OR and NPOV issues (which I aim to tackle tomorrow evening). The only thing I disagree with you on is that the article has a long way to go to get to GA. I don't expect that the remainder of the issues you've listed will take very long to fix. I would urge you to place the GA review ] for a few days while the article is being fixed. Hopefully, within a few days I can either cite or eliminate the OR and NPOV from the article. If there are any other remaining issues with the article that you haven't listed in your review, please let me know. Thanks! ] <small>]</small> 03:54, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

== Fedora Project GA review ==

Hi there. Wanted to raise a couple of things about the GA review you've just undertaken at the above article. First, when concluding a review, don't in the course of the review. It is useful for the page to document what was wrong with the article and what got fixed. Second, while every reviewer has to interpret the GA criteria, I would not have thought this article was even close to GA status. A few examples of issues:
* Most of the (very few) references in the article are to internal company or project sources and may not meet either reliability criteria, or be considered independent of the subject.
* The bulk of the article comprises embedded lists, which are not ideal for the nature of the article. See ] and ].
* Much of the list material reads like promotional text for the Fedora Project (for example "Printing to create a good printing experience on Fedora")
* Almost nothing in the "Subprojects & Special interest groups" section is referenced, and there is no indication why any of the detailed information is in any way notable.
I would in fact suggest it most likely that the entire article should be merged as a section of ] or ]. I will raise this at the GAN talk page, which may lead to the article going to the ], seeking delisting. If you've any queries, let me know. Cheers. ] (]) 02:58, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

:Ok, Yea, I don't know why I missed that, I will note my agreement. --] (]) 22:21, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
