Recent close at DRN
Hi, you recently closed Dispute_resolution_noticeboard, a thread that appears to have had unrelated matters appended to it due to a poor filing. The instigator of the Jat thread is unlikely to be impressed by being compared to Runtshit. They also seems to be fairly confused and not great with the English language, meaning that they may not realise why that errant comparison has been made. Can it be fixed? I try to keep well away from DRN because it is too messy for my liking, and I'm certainly not going to try to fix your efforts & then get told off by someone for doing so! - Sitush (talk) 22:08, 2 December 2012 (UTC)
 * I just removed it, nothing much.  Ebe  123  → report 22:24, 2 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Well, aside from the fact that your statement still says that there has been no discussion at Talk:Jat when in fact there has been ... I think we're talking at cross-purposes here: there are two threads going on under the "Jat" section at DRN. The topmost is indeed about the Jat dispute; the stuff below my response to that appears to be a completely unrelated filing regarding some other article & it has not been correctly formed. Your header comment is ambiguous at best. I couldn't care less because the DRN process has never yet seemed to be helpful for Indic stuff & the sooner issues that are raised there become closed, the better. Nonetheless, the currently-blocked instigator of the Jat thread is not likely to be happy that they've been accused of not talking. They did, after all, initiate a discussion at Talk:Jat people around 24-36 hours ago. - Sitush (talk) 23:19, 2 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, there has been some discussion on the talk page, but it was not substansive, just 1 (your reply) then another section gets opened, with 1 response, so I don't call that a discussion, just a answer. I know there has been another tread. I closed the first thread as the comment from the proposer was "

Sitush is abusing his admin powers. Choses to revert w/o any explanation.

The 4 diff URL quoted in the 1st line are from the work of a single author. Yet, when I provide multiple sources (6 Diff URL's) to substantiate my claims, he reverts to the old one w/o any balance." and he was blocked.

Opening a DR/N case
You opened the case by commenting. Saying the case is not opened after you opened it does not revert the opening as the bot recognises you as a volunteer and automaticly opens the case. No, big deal, but in the future please do not comment on a case unless you intend to open it early for any particular reason.--Amadscientist (talk) 21:28, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
 * I know what happens, and it's the bots fault. I think that the bot should not open a case. I am disregarding this message.  Ebe  123  → report 21:37, 6 December 2012 (UTC)

DRN
Hey, Ebe, I did this because it was messing up the TOC (I said the bot in the edit summary, but I meant the TOC). Do you think the listing editor had a chance to see it before it was pulled off to a subpage? I'm not objecting, I'm just not sure what you were trying to do. Feel free to rv me or give it another try, as I may not be back online until Tuesday. Best regards, TransporterMan  ( TALK ) 03:26, 13 January 2013 (UTC)
 * It was to show how cases should be handled; 1 section for open discussions and another for closed threads, and the syntax on the subpages. Yes, it did break the TOC, although I was planning on removing it for favor of the cases table. It should not break DRN when the bot and form are updated. I choose a closed request as there is not supposed to have any more comments and the case was still visible but collapsed twice.   Ebe  123  → report 13:20, 13 January 2013 (UTC)

Another one...
Could you take a look at this: Dispute_resolution_noticeboard ? This is the third time JGVR posts aomething at the board. In this case I wasn't aware there was any dispute, and anyway, it's nonsense. I really don't know what he wants now, and I certainly won't engage in any discussion with this person (or persons). Kraxler (talk) 00:30, 14 January 2013 (UTC)
 * After I left you the above message, I saw the discussion at Talk:Henry van Rensselaer (disambiguation), and added a statement. Nevertheless, the notice at DRN is as nonsensical as the two previous ones. Apparently, JGVR can not understand what the MoS and other editors are telling him, which is the reason I refuse to "debate" with him. Kraxler (talk) 01:13, 14 January 2013 (UTC)

The Wikipedia Adventure: Text Mockup (feedback welcome!)
Hi TWA folks!

It's been a long time since we worked on The Wikipedia Adventure together, but this spring I proposed the game for an Individual Engagement Grant and it was accepted :)

I spent the last two months refining the script and getting ready to build the game using Guided tours. I am working with an amazing designer and getting expert curation tips from the Grant program leader.

Here is the full 7-mission text version of the game: http://jatspan.org/twa2.html#29

I'd love to have your feedback on it, before I get started with the build. I would love it if you would leave any thoughts, tips, comments, recommendations, suggestions, ideas, or concerns, at WP:TWA/Feedback.

Hope you're doing great,

--Ocaasi 14:00, 15 May 2013 (UTC)

WP:FOOD Needs You!
Hi there Ebe123! I've noticed you have yourself listed as a member of the Food and Drink Wikiproject. Unfortunately it looks like the project has been slowly sliding into inactivity except for a couple of people. That makes me a sad potato, and nobody likes a sad potato amirite?

If you'd like to turn my frown upside down, can you do two small things?

First off, go here and add Tick (✅) next to your name if you're still part of the project.

Second, go to the project talkpage and participate in a discussion about how to make the project more active, and how to go about making articles in our area of interest a lot better.

You don't want to make me cry, do you? Potatoes have a lot of eyes you know. So come on, join in! :)

Help with vandalism
Dear Ebe123, I saw you are a member of the Abuse response team and I was wondering if you could help me with a minor issue regarding the Mamonas Assassinas article. It is a Brazilian band that died on a plane crash in the 90s, and an user (just IP address) has been making edits of bad taste. One of the things he/she said was that the band died due to 'due to a miracle of God, nature and science.' I believe this to be inappropriate but I reverted the edit once and the user reverted it back. I don't want to cause conflicts, can you help me? Thank you very much! Cheers, Zalunardo8 (talk) 11:48, 14 June 2013 (UTC)

The Wikipedia Library now offering accounts from Cochrane Collaboration (sign up!)
Cochrane Collaboration is an independent medical nonprofit organization consisting of over 28,000 volunteers in more than 100 countries. The collaboration was formed to organize medical scholarship in a systematic way in the interests of evidence-based research: the group conducts systematic reviews of randomized controlled trials of health-care interventions, which it then publishes in the Cochrane Library.

Cochrane has generously agreed to give free, full-access accounts to 100 medical editors. Individual access would otherwise cost between $300 and $800 per account. Thank you Cochrane!

If you are stil active as a medical editor, come and sign up :)

Hi there. I would very much appreciate it if you could spend ~2 minutes and take a short survey - a project trying to understand why the most active Wikipedia contributors (such as yourself) may reduce their activity, or retire.

Hello,

I would like some advise on how to deal with this issue that I am having with a suer whom you may be able to see that I have had to unfortunately revert many times. However for some reason, as I uploaded the content on my user page, that is when his disruptive edits and wikihounding escalated. I just left a message on his wall, but his wall is full of other people having similar issues. Sajjad Alta is the name.

 * Hello, IBCPirates! I don't think your new page is notable and thus have it's own article. (Assuming you're talking about John F. Ryan Elementary School)  Ebe  123  → report 23:16, 28 May 2014 (UTC)

Could I have your reasons on why it shouldn't be an article? (I hope I don't sound mean, I'm just curious, so in the nicest way possible.) --IBCPirates (talk) 00:06, 29 May 2014 (UTC)
 * It doesn't seem notable as it is a small elementary school (2 grades), and without significant coverage (Google search results). My opinion is that there is great detail about nothing, such as a trivial "scandal" or how a pupil goes class-to-class. The article is original research, of which is not allowed on Wikipedia. It is good to write about a topic of which you are knowlegeable, but not a "insider" as unnecessary details are added. Hope this answers you well and nicely.  Ebe  123  → report 01:22, 29 May 2014 (UTC)

So if I deleted so-called unnecessary details, and added more facts about the history of the school, notable students and information about available events, would you think that it would be more notable? (When I said "in the nicest way possible," I was talking about me, trying not to speak rude to you, not you being rude to me the other way around. XD)--IBCPirates (talk) 19:23, 29 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Notabillity isn't about excess details. Notability is having coverage about the school other than the school website or "rate your teacher"-type sites (we want reliable, secondary sources)  Ebe  123  → report 21:08, 29 May 2014 (UTC)

This isn't rate your teacher! I don't go to this school! I never did! I thought it would be a notable event to write about because of all the things going on there! And that's why I asked about the history of the school, notable students and information about available events, because I thought that they would be better. --IBCPirates (talk) 21:36, 29 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Yes, you can write about the history, notable students, etc. but have good references. I don't think the school is notable as a Google search of the school gave me no good reliable source. Mostly the "rate-the-school"-type sites of which aren't really reliable.  Ebe  123  → report 22:56, 29 May 2014 (UTC)

So basically I just need to find reliable sources for it, which is going to be hard, because you and I have searched and the only reliable source is the official website. Would you say classroom websites would be reliable, because I'm thinking no. →→IBCPirates (talk) 22:59, 29 May 2014 (UTC)
 * What do you mean "classroom websites"?  Ebe  123  → report 00:48, 30 May 2014 (UTC)

Classroom websites such as these. http://www.tewksbury.k12.ma.us/webpages/bgorham/, http://www.tewksbury.k12.ma.us/webpages/mchan/, http://www.tewksbury.k12.ma.us/webpages/jdavis/ --IBCPirates (talk) 17:00, 14 August 2014 (UTC)
 * They aren't reliable as they are WP:Primary sources. Ebe  123  → report 00:43, 15 August 2014 (UTC)

applying for access then refusing to be told about it
Possibly you get told some other way, but this does not, on the face of it, appear to make sense;

(Mass message log); 22:50. . Delivery of "Credo" to User talk:Ebe123 was skipped because target has opted-out of message delivery ‎

--Demiurge1000 (talk) 21:39, 17 July 2014 (UTC)
 * I applied for access a while back, and forgot about it. In the mean time, I edited less and less. I did not like some mass-messages so I disabled it, forgetting Credo.  Ebe  123  → report 01:37, 18 July 2014 (UTC)

Language-population update project
Hi. The 18th edition of Ethnologue just came out, and if we divide up our language articles among us, it won't take long to update them. I would appreciate it if you could help out, even if it's just a few articles (5,000 articles is a lot for just me), but I won't be insulted if you delete this request.

A largely complete list of articles to be updated is at Category:Language articles citing Ethnologue 17. The priority articles are in Category:Language articles with old Ethnologue 17 speaker data. These are the 10% that have population figures at least 25 years old.

Probably 90% of the time, Ethnologue has not changed their figures between the 17th and 18th editions, so all we need to do is change "e17" to "e18" in the reference (ref) field of the language info box. That will change the citation for the artcle to the current edition. Please put the data in the proper fields, or the info box will flag it as needing editorial review. The other relevant fields are "speakers" (the number of native speakers in all countries), "date" (the date of the reference or census that Ethnologue uses, not the date of Ethnologue!), and sometimes "speakers2". Our convention has been to enter e.g. "1990 census" when a census is used, as other data can be much older than the publication date. Sometimes a citation elsewhere in the article depends on the e17 entry, in which case you will need to change "name=e17" to "name=e18" in the reference tag (assuming the 18th edition still supports the cited claim).

Remember, we want the *total* number of native speakers, which is often not the first figure given by Ethnologue. Sometimes the data is too incompatible to add together (e.g. a figure from the 1950s for one country, and a figure from 2006 for another), in which case it should be presented that way. That's one use for the "speakers2" field. If you're not sure, just ask, or skip that article.

Data should not be displayed with more than two, or at most three, significant figures. Sometimes it should be rounded off to just one significant figure, e.g. when some of the component data used by Ethnologue has been approximated with one figure (200,000, 3 million, etc.) and the other data has greater precision. For example, a figure of 200,000 for one country and 4,230 for another is really just 200,000 in total, as the 4,230 is within the margin of rounding off in the 200,000. If you want to retain the spurious precision of the number in Ethnologue, you might want to use the sigfig template. (First parameter in this template is for the data, second is for the number of figures to round it off to.)

Dates will often need to be a range of all the country data in the Ethnologue article. When entering the date range, I often ignore dates from countries that have only a few percent of the population, as often 10% or so of the population isn't even separately listed by Ethnologue and so is undated anyway.

If Ethnologue does not provide a date for the bulk of the population, just enter "no date" in the date field. But if the population figure is undated, and hasn't changed between the 17th & 18th editions of Ethnologue, please leave the ref field set to "e17", and maybe add a comment to keep it so that other editors don't change it. In cases like this, the edition of Ethnologue that the data first appeared in may be our only indication of how old it is. We still cite the 14th edition in a couple dozen articles, so our readers can see that the data is getting old.

The articles in the categories linked above are over 90% of the job. There are probably also articles that do not currently cite Ethnologue, but which we might want to update with the 18th edition. I'll need to generate another category to capture those, probably after most of the Ethnologue 17 citations are taken care of.

Jump in at the WP:LANG talk page if you have any comments or concerns. Thanks for any help you can give!

DRN help needed and volunteer roll call
You are receiving this message because you have listed yourself on the list of volunteers at Dispute resolution noticeboard/Volunteering.

First, assistance is needed at DRN. We have recently closed a number of cases without any services being provided for lack of a volunteer willing to take the case. There are at least three cases awaiting a volunteer at this moment. Please consider taking one.

Second, this is a volunteer roll call. If you remain interested in helping at DRN and are willing to actively do so by taking at least one case (and seeing it through) or helping with administrative matters at least once per calendar month, please add your name to this roll call list. Individuals currently on the principal volunteer list who do not add their name on the roll call list will be removed from the principal volunteer list after June 30, 2016 unless the DRN Coordinator chooses to retain their name for the best interest of DRN or the encyclopedia. Individuals whose names are removed after June 30, 2016, should feel free to re-add their names to the principal volunteer list, but are respectfully requested not to do so unless they are willing to take part at DRN at least one time per month as noted above. No one is going to be monitoring to see if you live up to that commitment, but we respectfully ask that you either live up to it or remove your name from the principal volunteer list.

Best regards, TransporterMan  ( TALK ) 17:10, 12 April 2016 (UTC) (Current DRN coordinator) (Not watching this page)

Instituto bioclon
I see you nominated this page for speedy deletion years ago, and that it was declined though no new refs were subsequently added to the article. You likely no longer care (!) but I believe I have now (finally) established that this company is in fact a notable entity and have added a reference to the article as evidence of this. Five years is a long time to wait for someone to get around to handling this, but better late than never, right? Or so I hope. Anyhow, this message is nothing more than a follow-up. I am not an employee of the company and have no conflict of interest with regard to verifying its notability (feel free to review my edit history if you have any doubts). As one of the only manufacturers of coral snake antivenin, it seems to meet the notability threshold and is discussed in several places in this way (only one is given, but several others could be pulled in to verify this as well).

And so I do.  KDS4444 (talk) 01:31, 3 December 2016 (UTC)

WikiProject Wikify: Current Backlog Reduction Plan
Hey, I noticed you marked yourself as a member of WikiProject Wikify and you are currently listed as active. I was wondering if you would be able to assist with our current backlog reduction plan. While traditional drives are more structured month-long sprints by WikiProject Wikify members, there is currently lacking activity within the project and in order to significantly reduce the incredible backlog, members are encouraged to review all articles marked with the Underlinked Template Message - - a list of which can be found here - to analyze the worthiness of the template message on the given article. Articles that have nothing to link or are have had wikilinks sufficiently added should have the template removed to clear the backlog and make it easier for editors to find articles in genuine need of wikification. This can be done by any editor; however, all editors should consider joining if they haven't done so already. Thank you!
