Disambiguation link notification for January 8

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Caspian red deer, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Georgia. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Dishwashing liquid help!

Hi AmaryllisGardener! I know you must be really busy, but if you could knock out 1-2 of the links at Talk:Dishwashing_liquid#Help_me_use_these_references.21 it would help me a lot. I've been swimming in dishwashing refs! Thanks, Bananasoldier (talk) 11:35, 11 January 2015 (UTC)

@Bananasoldier: I'm involved in a few discussions right now and then there's RL, but I should be able to help out some later today or tomorrow.

WP:AFC/R

Hi there. Thanks for taking the time to review redirect requests at WP:AFC/R, sadly the page is much neglected these days, I must have handled 40 or so requests yesterday. I just wanted to ask if you wouldn't mind using the appropriate archive template when you deal with a request. Otherwise, they still show up as 'pending requests' in the script menu. Thanks again. Bellerophon _{talk to me} 20:03, 11 January 2015 (UTC)

@Bellerophon: I use AFCH beta, it didn't archive that one request because I only partially fulfilled it. --AmaryllisGardener 20:04, 11 January 2015 (UTC)

Oh I see, I use Beta too. I wasn't aware of how it handled partially fulfilled requests. Never mind then. Keep up the good work :) Bellerophon _{talk to me} 21:01, 11 January 2015 (UTC)

Confused New Girl

Hi AmaryllisGardener!

Thank you so much for inviting me to the Teahouse! I had a quick question for you--

Everything I post, no matter how many secondary sources, how above average it is in number (see my BP Cooper article) or how my sources meet Misplaced Pages's guidelines, is given an instant deletion request by user McGeddon. So I of course feel terrible, go back and find a bunch more sources (again this is the BP Cooper article) and he nominates it for deletion within less than three seconds of my updating it and thanking him for his suggestions. He could not have reviewed my new sources (5 of them) in this time. I started a talk page with him over the deletion and he hasn't responded. I see from his user page a lot of people have had this experience with him.

Could you give me some insight? I want to do a good job! I think I am obeying all the guidelines - it's a little tough to do third party sources in entertainment because the entertainment industry runs entirely off kinda wonky sources like IMDB. I just want commercial producers and indie directors to get a little more recognition. It's a bummer when I go to a festival and everyone "doesn't exist" as far as the online community is concerned - despite being in the field for decades and creating new techniques. I thought crafting wikipedia pages would be a good way to contribute to this effort, but apparently McGeddon has flagged everything I've ever done in my paltry existence for deletion, and when I make the improvements he requests he doesn't even look at them before nominating them for deletion at a higher level. for deletion.

If you have any ideas I'd really appreciate it! Thank you, Amesion (talk) 17:55, 12 January 2015 (UTC)

@Amesion: Well, just make sure the sources talk about BP more than a passing mention. Have you read WP:GNG? That is what we go by here, when it comes to notability. Let me know if you need anything else! :) --AmaryllisGardener 18:13, 12 January 2015 (UTC)

A brownie for you!

Don't worry, it is just a lot of silliness. A bit of humor never hurts. When things are difficult, awful, stressful, the thing that always gets you through is

a bit of sense of humour. ... Hafspajen (talk) 01:11, 24 January 2015 (UTC)

I know that humour does no harm to Misplaced Pages. I have more of a sense of humor than you might think when you first meet me. Anyway, thanks for the brownie! --AmaryllisGardener 01:15, 24 January 2015 (UTC)

Try to keep everybody satisfied...

GA Review

Would it be possible for you to review Euthanasia Coaster as a GA nominee? It's pretty short and feel like you can handle it. :P Thanks. Eurodyne (talk) 02:20, 30 January 2015 (UTC)

@Eurodyne: Sure! :) --AmaryllisGardener 02:53, 30 January 2015 (UTC)

Don't want to be pushy or mean, but I do not think this article should be a good article. It is a bit short, also since the coaster is a concept and not an actual coaster, there isn't much information we can get out of this article as most of the content is trivial and based on the concept presentation. ///EuroCarGT 03:24, 30 January 2015 (UTC)

I was thinking it was a bit too short, but I didn't know what could be expanded, but I am seeing about 29,000 ghits for "Euthanasia Coaster". I just didn't quite know what to say. This reminds me of my GA, Kajaani, which was promoted too early and had to be improved afterwards. I wouldn't exactly know where to go to get more on the Euthanasia Coaster, but perhaps someone could contact WikiProject Death or Roller coasters? --AmaryllisGardener 03:31, 30 January 2015 (UTC)

Although it is a bit short, I feel that I have nothing else to add. I think the article meets the GA requirements so I went ahead and nominated it. Eurodyne (talk) 03:42, 30 January 2015 (UTC)

Yeah, like I said, it seemed so so short, but I wasn't sure about what to tell you to add. --AmaryllisGardener 03:45, 30 January 2015 (UTC)

Honestly, there was nothing else to add. As long as it meets the requirements, I'm good with it. Eurodyne (talk) 03:46, 30 January 2015 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) @Eurodyne: I think you should nominate it for WP:Peer review. Cheers, Jim Carter 04:00, 30 January 2015 (UTC)

As a member of WP Amusement Park and it's roller coaster's component, I have observed many roller coaster-related articles. Here was one of my roller coaster GA nom. I requested it to be close because it didn't have the sufficient information at that time. ///EuroCarGT 04:22, 30 January 2015 (UTC)

Adjusting pilot start date - WP:Co-op

Hello AmaryllisGardener,

I'll be putting out a formal update sometime soon, but I wanted to inform you that I've decided to push our start date back to mid-February rather than in January. There are number of reasons for this, but the biggest factor is that we are now facing the hard work of implementing our designs on the Mediawiki interface. It's a limiting environment to work with from a web-building perspective, and the team that worked on the Teahouse can offer similar testimonials to these challenges. We also want to make sure there is time for us and for you to test the environment out, ask questions at our project's talk page, and give us a little time to make any last changes before we start inviting editors to the space. If some of you know you will be unavailable during this time, it's totally fine if you need to bow out for the pilot. But we do need all the mentors we can get, so even if you can take the time to mentor just one or two editors, that would be fantastic.
Thanks a bunch, I, JethroBT on behalf of Misplaced Pages:Co-op.

Thanks but no thanks

You appear to have come over all conspiratorial and offensive with this edit. It's abundantly clear that I failed on an edit conflict, yet you seemed so happy to jump on it. I don't really care one iota what you think but I'm just giving you a chance to actually respond to the truth of the situation rather than the odd story you clearly have running through your mind. The Rambling Man (talk) 19:29, 2 February 2015 (UTC)

@The Rambling Man: So you think there was an agenda behind that comment? We thought there were negative connotations with your comments ("well played", "mediocre"), and we were told we don't "get it" because we're Americans, so, what if I we're to say you misunderstood my tone because you're British, eh? And to explain what I was thinking (your comments are still unexplained, but anyway), I usually copy my comments and then go back to the latest version of the page, edit the page, then insert my comments. That, paired with the content of the removed comments, I didn't know what was going on. --AmaryllisGardener 00:18, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

Longest undetected redirect vandalism.

Nice find! I bet things like that are incredibly rare! Lightspeed2012 02:59, 10 February 2015 (UTC)

@Lightspeed2012: Thanks! I was quite surprised that it had gone undetected for seven years, I was just looking through redirects, tagging and nominating inappropriate ones for RfD, and then I saw that (Too bad I read the year wrong, and mistakenly put down eight years in my edit summary). Redirect vandalism goes undetected because the title, when typed in, still redirects to the target. Anyway, I now have a record set on Misplaced Pages! :D --AmaryllisGardener 03:04, 10 February 2015 (UTC)

Requested move: Arguedas, Navarre and Jardinópolis, São Paulo

Can you please move Arguedas, Navarra to Arguedas, Navarre and Jardinópolis to Jardinópolis, São Paulo on this Misplaced Pages?

76.20.25.243 (talk) 06:27, 12 February 2015 (UTC)

Done, and the title Jardinópolis is now a dab. --AmaryllisGardener 14:34, 12 February 2015 (UTC)

WP:Co-op news for December 2014 – Feburary 2015

Hey AmaryllisGardener, it's been a while. The Co-op team has been hard at work during over the winter, so let's get right into what's been happening:

Graphic design work is nearing completion and development work is coming along slowly but surely. The main components of the space, profiles, the landing page, and the mentor landing page have all been built, and we're basically just putting the pieces together. We have close-to-final draft of the landing page, which is currently at User:Slalani/Landing_page, and in the thumbnail to the right. You can check out other components over at User:Slalani if you're curious. Soni, Slalani, and I are working together on some of the front page elements. We've also been doing some testing on test.wikipedia.org for profile building and matching. If you're curious about checking that out, let me know.
We've finished up a survey for newer editors to assess their experiences of using existing help spaces (e.g. Reference Desk, Teahouse, IRC, The Misplaced Pages Adventure) on en.wikipedia. Gabrielm199 is putting together a summary of that survey, and in the meantime, some findings from that survey of 45 newer editors include:
- On average, editors found contributing to Misplaced Pages to be easier after using the help space compared to before.
  - However, after using one or more help spaces, only half of editors reported that editing, addressing social challenges, and resolving technical issues were easy or very easy. The other half of editors were either neutral, or reported that these matters were difficult or very difficult.
- Just under 30% (11 of 38 editors) of newer editors said they probably would have stopped editing entirely had they not received support from the help space they used.
- Editors frequently reported either 1) that they would not have been learn what they needed without the help space, or 2) That they could have found it, but admitted that it would have been difficult or taken much longer.
We will be making one final move of the pilot start date to March 4th, 2015. This is the last move (I promise), because we can't afford to run the pilot any later than that. So there it is: March 4th or bust! But we won't bust, because there are just a few things left on our plate before we can run our pilot successfully. I'll be alerting you about when you will be able to make mentor profiles soon, so when you get a message about that, please take a minute or two to create your profile here (otherwise, you won't get matched to any editors!).

Thanks to all of the new mentors who have joined over the past few months. Big thanks to Missvain to posting about our little project here to the gendergap-l mailing list. I, JethroBT 00:47, 13 February 2015 (UTC) on behalf of Misplaced Pages:Co-op.

ANI

The case has been closed, and there's been some serious personal attacks on me, but no hard feelings. I hope you enjoyed the show, ANI is a disgusting venue and there are many people who literally spend their entire Misplaced Pages life there. It seldom solves anything. I didn't respond point by point to your opening case but would be happy to do so whenever. I fear that you believe my motives to be misplaced but after nearly ten years, perhaps you're right, perhaps i don't have the best for wikipedia in mind? The Rambling Man (talk) 17:54, 13 February 2015 (UTC)

@The Rambling Man: I never said you didn't have the best for Misplaced Pages in mind, just that you're comments we're consistently rude and often incivil. People who don't want the best for Misplaced Pages seldom stay here for as long as you have. I don't want you to leave Misplaced Pages or anything, I just want to see you practice civility and apologize (sincerely). That would mean much more to me than a passed proposal for a tban. --AmaryllisGardener 18:02, 13 February 2015 (UTC)

Perhaps next time understand that I'm here to improve the encyclopedia. You were the person who asked for a topic ban. Thanks, best we no longer talk since our positions seem clearly opposing. The Rambling Man (talk) 18:50, 13 February 2015 (UTC)

@The Rambling Man: I just want to clarify that what I meant by "People who don't want the best for Misplaced Pages seldom stay here for as long as you have.", was that you do want the best for Misplaced Pages, and that your time here is proof that you want the best for Misplaced Pages. As I've said before, my English is not the best. --AmaryllisGardener 19:01, 13 February 2015 (UTC)

I understand that, I deal with non-English speakers all the time. That you decided to attempt to get me banned from ITN says it all. Thanks, and goodbye. (P.S. for all your complaints, who posted Richard von Weizsäcker to the main page?) The Rambling Man (talk) 19:02, 13 February 2015 (UTC)

@SarekOfVulcan: No need to apologize. The "Amaryllis" part refers to Hippeastrum, commonly known and sold as "Amaryllis". I'm quite used to the gender confusion. --AmaryllisGardener 20:45, 20 February 2015 (UTC)

@Mellowed Fillmore: I may reconsider. It's a toss up, contribute to/help ITN and get a bit nauseous every once in a while, or give the troublemakers what they want, and stay somewhat happier. Perhaps I'll just take a break from ITN/C for a few days and come back. Notice my comment including the word "tolerant", that's what you have alot more of than me! Thanks for your message. :) --AmaryllisGardener 18:47, 23 February 2015 (UTC)

Do also consider that at least one of those editors you chose to encourage actively and knowingly lied, not once but twice in a recent nomination. Keep your friends close, but ..... The Rambling Man (talk) 18:49, 23 February 2015 (UTC)

@The Rambling Man: You not long ago made it clear that you didn't want to us to talk to each other anymore, and that's what I've respected, and other than me telling you this, I'm still respecting your wants. --AmaryllisGardener 18:52, 23 February 2015 (UTC)

Sure, but I will not abide people who defend liars. The Rambling Man (talk) 19:25, 23 February 2015 (UTC)

Ok then. Show me where someone lied. You do realize that accusing someone without proof is a personal attack, right? --AmaryllisGardener 19:30, 23 February 2015 (UTC)

Sadly I can't as the individual in question is IBAN'ed with me, although his recent edits prove he doesn't care too much about it, and has decided to use ITN suddenly as a place to disrespectfully and disgustingly create fake stories about a recently deceased individual. I'm sure you can do the math. But anyway, you've decided to leave ITN with you parting message in support of at least one disruptive member. I have nothing more to say to you right now other than what I said up top. Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer. The Rambling Man (talk) 19:34, 23 February 2015 (UTC)

After searching "IBan The Rambling Man" at AN/I archives, I see who you're talking about. I can't find anything bad on ITN/C relating to him. Also, you violated your IBan when referring to BBB. You don't have to call someone out by name to be violate your IBan. Not to mention you barged in to this discussion to talk about BBB. --AmaryllisGardener 19:48, 23 February 2015 (UTC)

Ok, enough said. You defended, in fact, promoted a liar. Your call. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:01, 23 February 2015 (UTC)

WP:Co-op: Presentation at Wikimania 2015

Hey AmaryllisGardener. I've put in a submission for a presentation at Wikimania 2015 called Is Two the Magic Number?: The Co-op and New Editor Engagement through Mentorship.

WikiCup 2015 March newsletter

That's it, the first round is done, sign-ups are closed and we're into round 2. 64 competitors made it into this round, and are now broken into eight groups of eight. The top two of each group will go through to round 3, and then the top scoring 16 "wildcards" across all groups. Round 1 saw some interesting work on some very important articles, with the round leader Freikorp (submissions) owing most of his 622 points scored to a Featured Article on the 2001 film Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within which qualified for a times-two multiplier. This is a higher score than in previous years, as Godot13 (submissions) had 500 points in 2014 at the end of round 1, and our very own judge, Sturmvogel_66 (submissions) led round 1 with 601 points in 2013.

In addition to Freikorp's work, some other important articles and pictures were improved during round one, here's a snapshot of a few of them:

Cwmhiraeth (submissions) took Bumblebee, a level-4 vital article, to Good Article;
AHeneen (submissions) worked-up the Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 article, also to Good Article status;
Rodw (submissions) developed an extremely timely article to Good Article, taking Magna Carta there some 800 years after it was first sealed;
And last but not least, Godot13 (submissions) (FP bonus points) worked up a number of Featured Pictures during round 1, including the 1948 one Deutsche Mark (pictured right), receiving the maximum bonus due to the number of Wikis that the related article appears in.

You may also wish to know that The Core Contest is running through the month of March. Head there for further details - they even have actual prizes!

If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Misplaced Pages:WikiCup/Reviews. Questions are welcome on Misplaced Pages talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

Co-op: Mentor profiles and final pilot prep

Hey mentors, two announcements:

You can now make your profile at The Co-op! Please set up your mentor profile here as soon as you are able, as the pilot begins on March 4th. It isn't very involved and should only take a minute. If you need more info about what the different skills mean (e.g. writing, communication), please refer to these descriptions.
Profile creation, invitations, and automated matching of editors, profile creation, that will be coordinated through HostBot and a few gadgets may not be ready for our pilot, and will have to be done manually until they are ready. In preparation for the pilot, please read over these instructions on how we will be manually performing these tasks until the automated components are ready.

About your comment: is that just in reference to that one edit or do you think I come off as too intense in general? --Gaff (talk) 20:56, 2 March 2015 (UTC)

@Gaff: I wrote it referring to the RfA. Don't worry too much about the RfA or "lightening up" in general, RfA tends to have a stressing effect on editors. --AmaryllisGardener 23:47, 2 March 2015 (UTC)

碍?

Haha, that made me laugh. Especially the final character, which means block (in the sense of a block of wood or metal). But I got your meaning :) Bellerophon _{talk to me} 08:52, 4 March 2015 (UTC)

Thank you

As a creative artist without "Powerpoint Proficiency", it is awesome to see what's in your mind's eye on the visual/written page. In all seriousness, its one of the brightest of my many bright wikipedia moments. Thanks!!!. Buster Seven Talk 16:40, 8 March 2015 (UTC)
