| Hi. I was just trying to follow back on the edits that were made on the Dr. Panda Games page. It had been noted that "The specific problem is: games should be in chronological order. (March 2014)" so I went ahead and updated our listing of games in the chart as well as the descriptions that followed (and added ones that were missing for consistency). I see you noted " The stuff Joseph2302 removed and the SPA restored was a copyvio too so thatxs another problem." Were you saying that listing the games is a copy violation or was there something more that I was missing? Also, while I have you, any chance you can explain re: orphan articles (I did read the link when you click on it). Can you explain/give me an example of a related article? Any help you can offer would be appreciated. Certainly we would like to update the Dr. Pandas page site in accordance with Misplaced Pages's rules and guidelines. Thx! ] (]) 17:18, 22 June 2015 (UTC)LTasc | |||

Thanks so much for joining us at the critical edit-a-thon this past weekend and for helping a newish Wikipedian to work through some of the struggles with sources and notability. Thanks for being a good sport, too, re: feminism and the deleted HCDE article. :) --Mssemantics (talk) 16:58, 16 February 2015 (UTC)
New to Misplaced PagesI'm really sorry. Obviously, I'm new. Just trying to update the page with the most accurate information about the company. I'm not trying to be promotional, just factual. I thought by noting that I work for Papillon that I was being transparent. I'm sorry I didn't note that properly. I appreciate the links and I will get more familiar with the guidelines before I edit anything again. Thank you, --Mar-cb2000 (talk) 01:36, 28 February 2015 (UTC) Orphaned non-free image File:All Wave logo.gif Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 23:17, 6 March 2015 (UTC) WikiProject X Newsletter • Issue 2For this month's issue... Making sense of a lot of data. Work on our prototype will begin imminently. In the meantime, we have to understand what exactly we're working with. To this end, we generated a list of 71 WikiProjects, based on those brought up on our Stories page and those who had signed up for pilot testing. For those projects where people told stories, we coded statements within those stories to figure out what trends there were in these stories. This approach allowed us to figure out what Wikipedians thought of WikiProjects in a very organic way, with very little by way of a structure. (Compare this to a structured interview, where specific questions are asked and answered.) This analysis was done on 29 stories. Codes were generally classified as "benefits" (positive contributions made by a WikiProject to the editing experience) and "obstacles" (issues posed by WikiProjects, broadly speaking). Codes were generated as I went along, ensuring that codes were as close to the original data as possible. Duplicate appearances of a code for a given WikiProject were removed. We found 52 "benefit" statements encoded and 34 "obstacle" statements. The most common benefit statement referring to the project's active discussion and participation, followed by statements referring to a project's capacity to guide editor activity, while the most common obstacles made reference to low participation and significant burdens on the part of the project maintainers and leaders. This gives us a sense of WikiProjects' big strength: they bring people together, and can be frustrating to editors when they fail to do so. Meanwhile, it is indeed very difficult to bring editors together on a common interest; in the absence of a highly motivated core of organizers, the technical infrastructure simply isn't there. We wanted to pair this qualitative study with quantitative analysis of a WikiProject and its "universe" of pages, discussions, templates, and categories. To this end I wrote a script called ProjAnalysis which will, for a given WikiProject page (e.g. Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Star Trek) and WikiProject talk-page tag (e.g. Template:WikiProject Star Trek), will give you a list of usernames of people who edited within the WikiProject's space (the project page itself, its talk page, and subpages), and within the WikiProject's scope (the pages tagged by that WikiProject, excluding the WikiProject space pages). The output is an exhaustive list of usernames. We ran the script to analyze our test batch of WikiProjects for edits between March 1, 2014 and February 28, 2015, and we subjected them to further analysis to only include those who made 10+ edits to pages in the projects' scope, those who made 4+ edits to the projects' space, and those who made 10+ edits to pages in scope but not 4+ edits to pages in the projects' space. This latter metric gives us an idea of who is active in a certain subject area of Misplaced Pages, yet who isn't actively engaging on the WikiProject's pages. This information will help us prioritize WikiProjects for pilot testing, and the ProjAnalysis script in general may have future life as an application that can be used by Wikipedians to learn about who is in their community. Complementing the above two studies are a design analysis, which summarizes the structure of the different WikiProject spaces in our test batch, and the comprehensive census of bots and tools used to maintain WikiProjects, which will be finished soon. With all of this information, we will have a game plan in place! We hope to begin working with specific WikiProjects soon. As a couple of asides...

Thanks and appreciatedHi Brianhe, thank a lot for your effort to improve the first article I wrote (Jeffrey Polnaja). I speak Indonesian and English. I am happy if I can contribute article to Misplaced Pages. Let me know if you need to translate articles from Indonesian to English. Hopefully, I can do a favour. Many thanks, cheers !--AdvPrima (talk) 22:19, 4 April 2015 (UTC)

WikiProject X Newsletter • Issue 3Greetings! For this month's issue... We have demos! After a lengthy research and design process, we decided for WikiProject X to focus on two things:
We have a live demonstration of the new WikiProject workflow at WikiProject Women in Technology, a brand new WikiProject that was set up as an adjunct to a related edit-a-thon in Washington, DC. The goal is to surface action items for editors, and we intend on doing that through automatically updated working lists. We are looking into using SuggestBot to generate lists of outstanding tasks, and we are looking into additional options for automatic worklist generation. This takes the burden off of WikiProject editors to generate these worklists, though there is also a "requests" section for Wikipedians to make individual requests. (As of writing, these automated lists are not yet live, so you will see a blank space under "edit articles" on the demo WikiProject. Sorry about that!) I invite you to check out the WikiProject and leave feedback on WikiProject X's talk page. Once the demo is sufficiently developed, we will be working on a limited deployment on our pilot WikiProjects. We have selected five for the first round of testing based on the highest potential for impact and will scale up from there. While a re-designed WikiProject experience is much needed, that alone isn't enough. A WikiProject isn't any good if people have no way of discovering it. This is why we are also developing an automatically updated WikiProject directory. This directory will surface project-related metrics, including a count of active WikiProject participants and of active editors in that project's subject area. The purpose of these metrics is to highlight how active the WikiProject is at the given point of time, but also to highlight that project's potential for success. The directory is not yet live but there is a demonstration featuring a sampling of WikiProjects. Each directory entry will link to a WikiProject description page which automatically list the active WikiProject participants and subject-area article editors. This allows Wikipedians to find each other based on the areas they are interested in, and this information can be used to revive a WikiProject, start a new one, or even for some other purpose. These description pages are not online yet, but they will use this template, if you want to get a feel of what they will look like. We need volunteers! WikiProject X is a huge undertaking, and we need volunteers to support our efforts, including testers and coders. Check out our volunteer portal and see what you can do to help us! As an aside... Wouldn't it be cool if lists of requested articles could not only be integrated directly with WikiProjects, but also shared between WikiProjects? Well, we got the crazy idea of having experimental software feature Flow deployed (on a totally experimental basis) on the new Article Request Workshop, which seeks to be a place where editors can "workshop" article ideas before they get created. It uses Flow because Flow allows, essentially, section-level categorization, and in the future will allow "sections" (known as "topics" within Flow) to be included across different pages. What this means is that you have a recommendation for a new article tagged by multiple WikiProjects, allowing for the recommendation to appear on lists for each WikiProject. This will facilitate inter-WikiProject collaboration and will help to reduce duplicated work. The Article Request Workshop is not entirely ready yet due to some bugs with Flow, but we hope to integrate it into our pilot WikiProjects at some point.

Speedy deletion declinedI declined your speedy deletion nomination of ITrip with no prejudice against its deletion through WP:AfD because G11 does not applies to articles with Minor promotional wording. The argument per your edit summary that A barnstar for you!
Some explationHello. Although I do not tend to explain myself, I do wish to point out to some things. I have been suggested to create new article using my sandbox to avoid multiple edits. However, I was not aware of splitting the page history issue and I thank you for informing me. This was a personal attach on me, where user, for some reason, took this company's founder name as it username, a posted this on the discussion. He/She was blocked for that reason, as you can see here. As you can see, I patrol recently created articles and many of my "suspicious" edits come from there. I also patrol articles for creation entries as well as old article for creation and userspace entries. Some of my pointed edits come from there. I will assure you that I do not have any connection with named editors and CheckUser will confirm that. I am not a native English speaker and sometimes it is hard for me to express myself when writing, so some of my statements might look odd or badly written. You could also see that I have more than 10k of edits and that I have done major job patrolling Misplaced Pages and cleaning out bad entries. In the end, that you for letting me know about the history splitting issue. all the best, --BiH (talk) 12:12, 9 May 2015 (UTC)
RFA?Hello Brianhe. I've noticed your sock- and paid editor-hunting and wondered if you'd thought of running for adminship? The tools make life a lot easier, in particular being able to see deleted contribs which often help link socks together. I haven't looked at your contribs in detail, but if you haven't pissed too many regulars off, I can take a more thorough look if you're interested. Cheers SmartSE (talk) 15:36, 17 May 2015 (UTC)
Deletion notificationHello. Why was not I, as a creator, notified for deletion of NV Residences? Are you hiding something? What you do here starts to take shape of a WP:HUNT. You failed miserably to do a proper "research" on me and my work, claiming I do not disclose any COI work. Although I proved you wrong, I never heard a good faith apology from you, no matter what you and other editors think of me as an editor. Moreover, you tried to be funny. Eric Sullivan article proves that you did some bad job doing research on the topics, but nevertheless you nominated some of the article without thinking it twice and doing some deeper research - short to be: WP:JUSTDONTLIKEIT. In the end, I admit some article might not pass WP:GNG or are on the margin, but witch hunting on me is not an option as well. I invite Bbb23 and Smartse to read this as well. --BiH (talk) 23:32, 23 May 2015 (UTC)

For this report: The directory is live!For the first time, we are happy to bring you an exhaustive, comprehensive WikiProject Directory. This directory endeavors to list every single WikiProject on the English Misplaced Pages, including those that don't participate in article assessment. In constructing the broadest possible definition, we have come up with a list of approximately 2,600 WikiProjects. The directory tracks activity statistics on the WikiProject's pages, and, for where it's available, statistics on the number of articles tracked by the WikiProject and the number of editors active on those articles. Complementing the directory are description pages for each project, listing usernames of people active on the WikiProject pages and the articles in the WikiProject's scope. This will help Wikipedians interested in a subject find each other, whether to seek feedback on an article or to revive an old project. (There is an opt-out option.) We have also come up with listings of related WikiProjects, listing the ten most relevant WikiProjects based on what articles they have in common. We would like to promote WikiProjects as interconnected systems, rather than isolated silos. A tremendous amount of work went into preparing this directory. WikiProjects do not consistently categorize their pages, meaning we had to develop our own index to match WikiProjects with the articles in their scope. We also had to make some adjustments to how WikiProjects were categorized; indeed, I personally have racked up a few hundred edits re-categorizing WikiProjects. There remains more work to be done to make the WikiProject directory truly useful. In the meantime, take a look and feel free to leave feedback at the WikiProject X talk page. Stuff in the works!What have we been working on?
Want us to work on any other tools? Interested in volunteering? Leave a note on our talk page. The WikiProject watchers report is back!The database report which lists WikiProjects according to the number of watchers (i.e., people that have the project on their watchlist), is back! The report stopped being updated a year ago, following the deactivation of the Toolserver, but a replacement report has been generated.
A barnstar for you!
