Dein Typ ist gefragt...

Hallo Lectonar, ich würde gerne auf Dein Angebot zurückkommen, dass Du eines meiner Texte mal durchsiehst. Ich habe auf dieser Seite ein Kapitel für den Artikel Psychoanalysis geschrieben. Es wäre toll, wenn Du den englischen Text mal korrigieren könntest. Darunter habe ich auf Deutsch geschrieben, was ich eigentlich wirklich meine. :o) Thx Hier gehts lang ==> User:Widescreen/sandbox --WSC 19:54, 6 December 2012 (UTC)

I started copyediting/correcting it, but will be busy in RL until monday; I hope this is alright with you. Lectonar (talk) 22:45, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
"Have been" of course. There's no hurry. I'm glad you make time for this anyway. --WSC 07:30, 7 December 2012 (UTC)
May I remind you on my little paragraph? Thx for your help! --WSC 18:58, 13 December 2012 (UTC)
Happy new year! From Germany. --WSC 15:56, 7 January 2013 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

The Original Barnstar
WOW! I saw that you have already deleted an attack page which I tagged a minute before. The was really fast! Have a nice day and I hope you to be better and better! :) Mediran 09:49, 7 December 2012 (UTC)
Thanks, very much appreciated. That is what admins are for ;). Lectonar (talk) 09:51, 7 December 2012 (UTC)

Perhaps I should just tag the article for globalization? Deb (talk) 16:04, 11 December 2012 (UTC)

Go ahead; I watch almost all of the "day-articles", and we are getting there...I mean, people adding older and non-english people. The problem is the inherent (and understandable, in a way) bias of en-wiki. Lectonar (talk) 16:17, 11 December 2012 (UTC)

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 okeyes@wikimedia.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 . Hope to see some of you there! Thanks, Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 23:17, 14 December 2012 (UTC)

Noticeboard

Thanks. Since you can read and write French, you may take note of the fact that he has been insulting me (or, at least, accusing me of being basically a fascist : the reason of which, if I understand well, is that I do not share his personal communist/marxist/whatever ideas). This user insulted me on a regular basis on the french wikipedia for over one year before being finally banned, and it would be a real bummer if he started doing that again on the english wikipedia. best, Jean-Jacques Georges (talk) 13:59, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

Sengar

hello, i really don't understand on what basis you have locked the "SENGAR" page when you don't know anything about it...just for your information the page talks about RAJPUT CLAN of INDIA so i would request you to first go through the article and then only take action against it...JUST BECAUSE SOME USER: SITUSH who doesn't have any idea about the article deleted the whole content so even you deleted it....I am from the SENGAR clan and i know the information which was given was true and more over the efforts of so many other people who have contributed in writing the page is wasted...i would request you to put back the information so that it can help other people ... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.167.244.200 (talk) 12:03, 9 January 2013 (UTC)


the information which was given on that page is from the book "A Handbook on Rajputs by A H Bingley" page 122-132...thats why i am saying please confirm with the content of the page and then only take action.. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yashpal.sengar (talk • contribs) 13:05, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

Amar

In response to you response to my feedback: http://en.wikipedia.org/Special:FeedbackDashboard/67623 I deleted first few lines of an article approximately 2 months ago. I didn't have an account then. I created my account just a week ago. (11/01/2013). - Amar. http://en.wikipedia.org/User_talk:Amarjiith

I don't know how to sign or how to create hyperlinks as I'm new to Misplaced Pages. So I've given the required links above.

Rfc please

Dear Lectonar, Would you please have look on these discussion and provide your own opinion?--Freemesm (talk) 08:05, 13 January 2013 (UTC)

This seems to have been solved. Cheers. Lectonar (talk) 09:36, 14 January 2013 (UTC)
Yeah, it have been solved. I'm sorry for not noticing you earlier. :( --Freemesm (talk) 13:08, 14 January 2013 (UTC)

Help Project newsletter : Issue 5

The Help Project Newsletter
Issue V - January 2013
Project news summary
From the editor

Hello again from the Help Project!

In the last newsletter (which was quite a while ago sorry!) I talked about my fellowship and the plans for improving the main portal page, Help:Contents. Well I'm sad to say that my fellowship is now over, but very happy to say that the proposed improvements to that page have been completed and implemented. Do check it out if you haven't already.

Another important and frequently used help page, Misplaced Pages:Contact us, has also seen a significant revamp. You may recognise the design inspiration from the new tutorial pages.

In project news, we now have a subscription to the "article alerts" service. Any deletion nominations, move discussions, or requests for comments on pages within the Help Project's scope will now show up at Misplaced Pages:Help Project/Article alerts. So that's definitely a page which project members might want to watch.

Any comments or suggestions for future issues are welcome at Misplaced Pages:Help Project/Newsletter. If you don't wish to receive this newsletter on your talk page in future then just edit the participants page and add "no newsletter" next to your name.

Alex Sporea - Florin Mocanescu

(16-01-2013) User: Alexsporea Good morning Lectonar, I am writing to you with regards to a page I created(Florin Mocanescu)Florin Mocanescu. Unfortunately, I wrote it in Romanian and posted it in the English section. Is there way to recover it and translate it or just to recover the text from it? I do not have a back-up. Can you please help me? I would be very grateful. Thank you very much and hope to hear from you, Alexandru Sporea — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alexsporea (talk • contribs) 06:53, 16 January 2013 (UTC)

I have moved the article to User:Alexsporea/Florin Mocanescu. Is there a reason you created this here and not in the ro.wikipedia? Lectonar (talk) 07:12, 16 January 2013 (UTC)
Thank you for the quick reply. I didn`t intentionally put it there. It was my first time creating a wikipage.Can you please tell me, besides the wrong location of the page, if there is something that would not allow the page to be published? Alexsporea 08:22, 17 January 2013 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.102.139.99 (talk)
I can read romanian at a pinch, and it would very much depend upon the Misplaced Pages the article is to be published in, but for the English Misplaced Pages I can say that the subject of the article does not pass the notability threshold, and there are not enough reliable independent sources included.

Shah puri dialect

Shah puri dialect article containing nine references is being continuously reverted and redirected by user Kwamikagwami without any reasonable argument. Protection of article and blocking of Kwamikagami requested for persistent childish behavior and wasting others time Fantasyworld99 (talk) 06:39, 21 January 2013 (UTC)

User blocked.

Impressive response...

That's impressive. I just assumed that the feedback solicitation would go into a blackhole to be read by a natural language processing bot at best. But you actually read and responded in like 20 minutes?! I don't mind that wikipedia bars certain content but it would be nice if I could know AHEAD of time what the rules mean. The wikipedia rules seem so open to interpretation that the newbie has no chance. It makes me want to never edit on anything remotely controversial, which is unfortunately the most interesting content.Bilbobagginsesprecious (talk) 14:29, 22 January 2013 (UTC)

Louie Giglio

Can you look at the edits Jonesbrad10 has made/is making to Louie Giglio ? Thanks. Bmclaughlin9 (talk) 01:54, 24 January 2013 (UTC)

Have taken a look....seems to me like a rather slow edit war; it is the same user coming back with the same arguments or actions every few days/weeks. I have put the article under temporary pending charges protection, to get him/them to use the talk-page. Cheers, and, just out of curiosity: why did you ping me? Lectonar (talk) 08:09, 24 January 2013 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for removing that vandalism off my page !! MadGuy7023 (talk) 10:37, 28 January 2013 (UTC)

AppLift

Hi, May I enquire as to why you deleted the post on AppLift? It's written in an objective way and not much different than that of Trademob, which is a similar company. Please let me know what I need to change to make it appropriate.
