Article Feedback Tool, Version 5
Hey all :)

Just a quick update on what we've been working on:
 * The centralised feedback page is now live! Feel free to use it and all other feedback pages; there's no prohibition on playing around, dealing with the comments or letting others know about it, although the full release comes much later. Let me know if you find any bugs; we know it's a bit odd in Monobook, but that should be fixed in our deployment this week.
 * On Thursday, 7th June we'll be holding an office hours session at 20:00 UTC in #wikimedia-office. We'll be discussing all the latest developments, as well as what's coming up next; hope to see you all there!
 * Those of you who hand-coded feedback; I believe I contacted you all about t-shirts. If I didn't, drop me a line and I'll get it sorted out :).

Thanks! Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 22:47, 4 June 2012 (UTC)

E-mail
Hi! I sent you an e-mail a couple of days ago (to your UK Wikimedia address), and was wondering if you had received it? It's regarding the prizes for the Core Contest, and I was directed to you by Casliber. Not a huge deal, just wanted to make sure I sent it to the right place. Thanks, Dana boomer (talk) 23:57, 13 June 2012 (UTC)
 * You did - just a little behind on my emails! Will reply ASAP. The Cavalry (Message me) 11:18, 14 June 2012 (UTC)

Blackmagic
I was recently looking up articles on Blackmagic, Witch Craft and Necromancy and I ran across a user page User:Blackmagic240843. Looks like there was a feud between IP's or something. Then I noticed the account was banned but there was no notification. The user page is just blank. Is this right? or should there be a blocked thingy on it? I've seen a lot of blocked users with a This user is banned notification on there pages.

I'm just letting you know.

 * Fixed - thanks for letting me know! The Cavalry (Message me) 18:34, 16 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Your welcome I guess but I gotta ask what is going on? It almost looks like a war or something. --162957A (talk) 05:05, 17 June 2012 (UTC)
 * It's an edit war between two users, one of whom is a sockpuppet of a banned user called 'Kagome 85'. He's a bit of an odd chap. You can read all about it at this post. The Cavalry (Message me) 21:17, 18 June 2012 (UTC)

Email
Sorry about that, I forgot I'd disabled my email. I've re-enabled it, so the voucher can be sent via wiki mail. And thanks. Truthkeeper (talk) 15:18, 18 June 2012 (UTC)

AFT5 release coming up - help us design a banner!
Hey all :). First-off, thanks to everyone for all their help so far; we're coming up to a much wider deployment :). Starting at the end of this month, and scaling up until 3 July, AFT5 will begin appearing on 10 percent of articles. For this release we plan on sending out a CentralNotice that every editor will see - and for this, we need your help :). We've got plans, we know how long it's going to run for, where it's going to run...but not what it says. If you've got ideas for banners, give this page a read and submit your suggestion! Many thanks, Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 16:22, 19 June 2012 (UTC)

The article on Southern Railway West Country Class locomotives has errors in the list of dates of withdrawal from service.
I was a mature student studying at Southampton College of Technology from January 1968 to December 1969. Throughout the summer term, May to July 1968 I could, if I got a move on after classes, get to Southampton Central Station by about 1610 hrs and catch the Exeter St Davids to Brighton service which was always steam hauled by either a West Country or Battle of Britain Class Locomotive.( As a schoolboy in the early 1950s I was a trainspotter and loved those engines) The withdrawal dates shown in the article do not show any as late as this. 109.150.170.142 (talk) 22:11, 20 June 2012 (UTC)

Wikimania Video
Hi Richard!

I saw your username on a list of Wikimania attendees. My name is Victor Grigas and I am a 'storyteller' at the Wikimedia foundation. It's my position to find and tell the stories of individual Wikipedians to share to get the public to be engaged and encouraged to support Wikipedia. I will be with a small team and we will be conducting on-camera interviews with Wikipedians at Wikimania from July 10th through July 15th and was hoping that you would be interested in sharing your story with me.

People in the office told me that you are a 'nice and energetic guy'.

Please let me know if you are interested. There is limited availability and I expect my schedule to fill up quickly.

Hope we get to meet in person!

Victor

P.S. The best way to reach me is by email: vgrigas@wikimedia.org
