United States Education Program: Wiki-Project Management -- Interview Request
Hello User:Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry,

I am a student of Michigan State University working under Dr. Obar on an exploration of the Wikipedia adminship process. Thank you for volunteering to be a part of our project; we are glad that you have expressed interest in participating in our interviews of Wikipedia admins. I apologize for the lateness of this message, but if you are still willing to join in our work, please email me using Wikipedia's email function so that we can contact you formally.

Article Feedback Tool updates
Hey all. My regular(ish) update on what's been happening with the new Article Feedback Tool.

Hand-coding

As previously mentioned, we're doing a big round of hand-coding to finalise testing :). I've been completedly bowled over by the response: we have 20 editors participating, some old and some new, which is a new record for this activity. Many thanks to everyone who has volunteered so far!

Coding should actively start on Saturday, when I'll be distributing individualised usernames and passwords to everyone. If you haven't spoken to me but would be interested in participating, either drop me a note on my talkpage or email. If you have spoken to me, I'm very sorry for the delay :(. There were some toolserver database issues beyond our control (which I think the Signpost discussed) that messed with the tool.

New designs and office hours

Our awesome designers have been making some new logos for the feedback page :) Check out the oversighter view and the monitor view to get complete coverage; all opinions, comments and suggestions are welcome on the talkpage :).

We've also been working on the Abuse Filter plugin for the tool; this will basically be the same as the existing system, only applied to comments. Because of that, we're obviously going to need slightly different filters, because different things will need to be blocked :). We're holding a special office hours session tomorrow at 22:00 UTC to discuss it. If you're a regex nut, existing abuse filter writer, or simply interested in the feedback tool and have suggestions, please do come along :).

I'm pretty sure that's it; if I've missed anything or you have any additional queries, don't hesitate to contact me! Thanks, Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 14:43, 4 April 2012 (UTC)

You recently re-set the edit request as unanswered. As the request does not propose a specific change, nor introduces any sources to support a change, can you explain why "more tweaking can be done to be the paragraph to make it neutral" justifies your recent actions. Many thanks. Best Wishes 'Ankh '.Morpork  12:37, 19 April 2012 (UTC)

Can you please add a link to meta:Talk:Terms_of_use to wmf:Talk:Terms_of_Use_(2012) and wmf:Talk:New_Terms_of_use/en? As I've stated at meta:Talk:Terms_of_use, there isn't a place for the average user to post complaints and questions, and New_Terms_of_use/en doesn't contain any contact information. --Michaeldsuarez (talk) 13:41, 26 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Sorry, no can do - I have an account there, but I only use it to update things related to Wikimedia UK. The Terms of Use is unrelated to Wikimedia UK, so I can't really justify using my account for something that is unrelated to my employers. You need to contact someone from the WMF - Phillippe, or Steven Walling, perhaps. The Cavalry (Message me) 13:54, 26 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Alright. --Michaeldsuarez (talk) 15:36, 26 April 2012 (UTC)

Article Feedback Tool office hours
Hey ; just a quick note to let you know that we'll be holding an Office Hours session at 18:00 UTC (don't worry, I got the time right ;p) on 4th May in #wikimedia-office. This is to show off the almost-finished feedback page and prep it for a more public release; I'm incredibly happy to have got to this point :). Hope to see you there!
