newsletters
Hi. I was wondering where do you work on drafts of NPP newsletters. Currently I am on mobile, and couldnt find it. But I have created a very preliminary draft here. I would work on it soon. Your guidance is requested. — usernamekiran (talk)  21:56, 29 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Hi . Two many newletters reduces their impact. Two were sent this month already where strictly a maximum of one every two or three months should suffice. There is also an article about NPP in  The Signpost this month due to be released any moment now. It's probably best to discuss with the coordinators about the next issue of the newsletter which is generally a joint effort. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 22:11, 29 June 2018 (UTC)

Remove an Image
Hello Kudpung, sorry I placed my message in the wrong spot. I am in need of some assistance in the removal of this image: (File:Imperium Galactic War Official Crest.png). As it turns out, I uploaded it the wrong way, and uploaded an updated version, the right way. I would like for it to be removed because I accidentally used the wrong method while uploading it. While my account isn't new I logged on to help with the creation of a page (I saw you stopped by earlier, please feel free to check back on it to see if it still needs some work), so as you can tell, I have some dust to blow off the cover still. Lots has changed here in a year. Any help on that would be greatly appreciated!

Ankura Consulting Deletion
Hello, I am writing to you because you recently deleted a page I created for wikipedia. The justification you provided for this was that the page was too promotional, although you provided no reasoning in defense of this claim. I would be willing to remove, edit, or change elements of the page which are deemed too promotional, however, because the page was immediately deleted, this will not be possible.

I ask that you restore the page, and point to a specific passage or line which you deem to be too promotional, so that the issue can be handled properly.

Yours, King Jason96 (talk) 12:56, 30 June 2018 (UTC)
 * , the deletion of this article was handled properly. As an admin, I tagged it for deletion and a further admin agreed that this article is purely promotional and deleted it in accordance with our policies. Wikipedia is not intended to be used as a platform for advertising, therefore this article cannot be restored. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 13:34, 30 June 2018 (UTC)


 * I respectfully disagree. The page was a reasonable, and unbiased overview of the history and operations of a firm which is, according to wikipedia's guidelines for notability, notable. Many firms have pages which are of this sort, which are not deleted for being promotional. It seems that no one looked very hard at this. King Jason96 (talk) 13:42, 30 June 2018 (UTC)


 * , please don't underestimate the work of our page patrollers -  who  may  occasionally  be lacking  experience. If  there are other pages like  it, they  either passed our  criteria for  inclusion, or they  were missed by  the patrollers who  have to  cope  with  hundreds of submissions every  day. However, this one came by chance under the scrutiny  of two  highly  experienced administrators. The entire text was exceptionally  promotional, not  just  elements  of the article. If  you  wish  to discuss further, the next  step (which  should have been the first  one)  is to  contact  , the other administrator -  the one who  finally  deleted it. Failing  that, the next  and final  step  would be to  make a case  at Deletion review, but  I  would suggest you may  wis bto read that  page very  carefully  before lodging   an appeal.

Quick question...
Hi Kudpung, me again. I got a notification today saying that an article I created yesterday (Théâtre de l'Étoile (Champs-Élysées)) had been reviewed. Since I'm autopatrolled, I found it a bit odd. I thought pages created by autopatrolled editors didn't show up in the new pages feed. Best, Voceditenore (talk) 14:29, 30 June 2018 (UTC)

AfD participation
Hi Kudpung - I saw your comments at the recent RfA for TheSandDoctor. You expressed concerns that he (she?) only participated in deletion discussions after many others had already voted. It's a moot point now that the RfA passed, but I wanted to give you my perspective. I also jump in late to AfDs - and always go right to the oldest ones, because in my mind those are the most challenging ones (they are still open after all). I don't think of it as coming in after the consensus has already been reached, but instead as clearing tough ones from the queue. I don't always go with the existing consensus. Regards. TimTempleton (talk) (cont)  19:14, 2 July 2018 (UTC)

Hello...

I am new to Wikipedia. Thanks for your note on fixing some issues.

I deleted the external websites that had copyrighted material.

I am not sure if you mean any content in the body of the writing where I cited verifiable sources needs fixing or not. Please advise.

Also - I am the author of one of the books I cited and I hold the copyright. So I gave myself permission to cite my own work. The other 2 authors gave permission as well.

I see the photos were taken down. I should not have put copyright info on the photos. They were my photos, but I am fine with them being free/creative commons.

I am learning as I go here :)

There is not enough contemporary Native artists on Wikipedia - so I am trying to help that.

Hey Kudpung, you marked this article as patrolled, and the creator was blocked today, and I can't find any evidence that this guy exists. Were you able to find any information about him, or should this article be deleted? Natureium (talk) 00:35, 6 July 2018 (UTC)
 * , I don't know what happened there, my patrolling is pretty good. I think because I had first corrected some typos it was automatically marked as 'patrolled' - I can't be sure. Anyway, further research reveals no mention of this person on the Internet nor on the museum website so I've deleted it as a hoax. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 01:28, 6 July 2018 (UTC)

Going to Wikimania?
Hi -- I just wanted to check in because I'm headed to Wikimania in a few days, and it would be great to talk if you'll be there. Let me know! -- MMiller (WMF) (talk) 22:09, 11 July 2018 (UTC)
 * , much as I  would like  to  be there, we volunteers who  work many  hours  for  free do  not enjoy the same travel privileges as the salaried WMF staff,  even when we have important  matters to  discuss. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 23:41, 11 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Indeed. The cost of Wikimania is just too high.  May I recommend that the WMF distribute more scholarships?— CYBERPOWER  ( Chat ) 13:50, 14 July 2018 (UTC)
 * I don't think the cost is too high, unless there is some jiggery-pokery of some local people or organisations making some money out of it in a roundabout way. The WMF has huge surpluses of money and far more should not only be allocated to Wikimania - and specifically  the scholarships - but also to the development of much needed software - indeed, there is enough here to keep   in  full time employment  for a year  and money  enough  for  face-to-face meetings  to  get  it done without  forcing  volunteers to fork out over  $1,000 or more to  attend a Wikimania to  talk  about  it.
 * What needs to be reduced is the travel budget for WMF staff and the number of their presentations. The focus of Wikimania should be on showcasing the work of the volunteers who provide and manage the content and provide unpaid outreach services, rather than on the Foundation and its paid contractors and consultants. In  his blog, which  rivals (or even trumps) the quality  of The Signpost and where he can speak  without  the strictures of Wikipedia talk pages,  editor  states: "There is no small amount of irony here: it’s the Wikimedia Foundation’s job to provide support to the volunteer community. That is why it exists. Wikimania is obviously one of these things it has created to serve the community". Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 21:34, 14 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Ill just add that the locations of some of the conferences (Mexico, Esino Lario) were IMO, totally inappropriate - for different reasons, but mainly geographic location. I'm not even sure about South Africa. but at least in Sweden next year the Europeans will have an opportunity to overcome their disappointment with the Italian job although it was held in a remote and charming alpine village with good food to boot plenty to go around,  unlike the conference in Hong Kong where 80% of the participants  (the volunteer editors and scholarshipees of course) went hungry,  Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 21:52, 14 July 2018 (UTC)
 * I agree, Wikimania is meant to serve the community. Which is why I think there should be more scholarships to begin with.  The budget exists for it.  It's kind of silly to offer to be a volunteer, but still have to fork over the money to actually get there to do it.  At least cover the volunteer costs of travel since they are willing to come and be staff at no cost.— CYBERPOWER  ( Chat ) 22:21, 14 July 2018 (UTC)

Bruce Flatt
Hello. Bruce Flatt is a billionaire and he passes GNG. Could you please unprotect the page?Zigzig20s (talk) 14:44, 14 July 2018 (UTC)

Please  read carefully Deletion review/Log/2017 August 4 and in the meantime I'll ask for a second opinion on what to do here. .

Franklin Academy Pembroke Pines Middle and High School
Looks like we crossed up. I was trying to draftify it to Draft: Franklin Academy Pembroke Pines High School per user request at my talk. I don't have the tools to fix it. Appreciate if you at least get the former article to the draft. No opinion on the mainspace redirect. Thanks. John from Idegon (talk) 22:51, 16 July 2018 (UTC)
 * , I've moved the draft back to mainspace where it automatically becomes a redirect again. Redirecting is a policy-based operation for some kinds of non-notable pages. There is no point in creating a draft for this article, it won't be notable any time soon - by several years. If he wants the code, all he needs to do is look in the history.

NPP backlog chart in newsletter
Hi Kudpung, just replacing the chart with an image defeats the purpose of including it in the first place. I want the chart to continue to update on each reviewer's talk page, so that they have an up to date view of raises in the backlog as they occur. The size is a bit annoying, because I can't lower it without messing up the X axis. I'll ask over at VPT. —  Insertcleverphrasehere (or here)  01:40, 25 July 2018 (UTC)
 * , you are misunderstanding the use of newsletters. There is no need whatsoever for a very large, self updating file. Most people remove newsletter messages from their talk pages as soon as they have read them, or they are archived very soon. I do not consider it necessary for the chart to continue to update on each reviewer's talk page - in fact I'm wondering if continuing to publish a newsletter is worth the bother at all - it was my initiative (like so many hings around here) and NPP worked quite well without one. The next coord(s) will have to understand these issues and adapt themselves to what is needed rather than what they 'want' or believe to be needed. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 01:53, 25 July 2018 (UTC)
 * I won't respond to most of what you said above, because I find it patently ridiculous that the newsletter cannot serve multiple purposes at the same time. In any case I have modified the chart axis type to be able to display at a smaller size so I guess it will work the way it is now for both of us. I also added a link to the MoveToDraft tool. As for whether newsletters should be sent at all, and how NPP used to work; that was then, and this is now. I personally think that the Newsletters are a good way to get information out and also a good motivational tool. I expect we will see the backlog drop after sending out this one. Regardless, thanks for your help in drafting it. —  Insertcleverphrasehere (or here)  02:04, 25 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Don't undo the good work you have been doing for NPR. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 02:10, 25 July 2018 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure what that is supposed to mean, but I'll try not to. My main focus in the next wee while will be going back to evaluating and inviting new users, as it has become clear in recent days that we still don't have enough active reviewers. We are probably close to a sustainable number, but it still seems to require regular prods in the form of newsletters and backlog drives to get the populous motivated, and is still far too reliant on a few reviewers (currently Onel5969 is pretty much the only thing stopping the backlog from spiraling upwards). —  Insertcleverphrasehere (or here)  02:28, 25 July 2018 (UTC)
 * . Yes, and we're slowly reviewing  his reviews because some of us experienced reviewers who  have been doing  this for  years are of the opinion  that  reviewing  new pages correctly is not  possible at that kind of cadence. People will  complain about  their submissions being  deleted, but  they  will  delight  at  substandard articles being  passed and we never hear about  that  of course.Really  the last  thing  we want  to  be doing  is adding  the burden of NPR by policing  the reviewers. That  is counter productive.   My comments  regarding  the newsletter still  stand -  unfortunately for  Wikipedia, most  of what  I  do  on  Wikipedia is based on  my  decades of RL higher studies and experience as a professional  in  communication -  not  wanting  to  blow my  own top  or claim ownership of anything  I  do, but generally what  I  do gets consensus and gets carried out and Wikipedia moves forward. In  fact  18  months ago  I  really  did want  to  pass on  all  things NPP/NPR to a team I  could rely  on  to  keep  up  the good work and that's what  I'm  hoping  for  with  the upcoming  election.

Some clarity
Can you choose to explain Current reviewers who have made less than 10 reviews in 6 months will will be limited to a further 6 months use of access, but may still request to have it granted again in the future, subject to the same probationary period, if they wish to become an active reviewer., in a more clear manner? If I do not execute 10 reviews in the next 6 months, will it mean a revocation of flag followed by a temporary grant of six months, shall I request it? Or is it meant only for those users, who will be granted a probation. Thanks, &#x222F; WBG converse 08:11, 25 July 2018 (UTC)
 * , the text of the news letter is still  being  discussed. Please don't  jump the gun. FWIW however, if you  don't  make 10  reviews in  the next  6  months then you  do  not  have a need for  the tools and the right  will  be put  on  probation  for  6  months. If you  do  not  make 10  reviews in  that  six months  it will expire and you  will  have to  request  it  again. We  have done a DB search  and find that  only about  25% of rights holders are active. Many  have never used the tools at  all. Please remember that  additional  rights, even adminship,  are not  a 'promotion' however many  mini  icons one has on  their user page. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 08:30, 25 July 2018 (UTC)

 * To be honest, I'm not really bothered - I actually have better things to do than sit around and listen to oblique references to AGF. I was just curious why someone who hardly does any NP reviewing would be so concerned about it. Our current motivation is to get rid of some of the deadwood and hat collectors to see just what we do have left after pruning the bloated number of 650 reviewers - just like they do at AfC - and then seeing what we can do to improve the system .   Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 15:50, 25 July 2018 (UTC)
 * , you'll be pleased to know that I have finally walked away from NPP/NPR, after all these years of dedicated service to it, and getting it where it is. That's the effect that some counter productive 'collaboration' from 'Good Faith' users has on people. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 20:14, 26 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Whilst it's genuinely sad to see you retire from NPP-related-activities, I personally think that some change will be indeed nice.As to the last line, I may wish to state that an 'obnoxious' passive-aggressive behavior, (probably manifesting from ownership issues) fits my definition of counter productive 'collaboration' more precisely.But, you may wish to disagree.Anyways, the thread had served it's purpose, in that the controversial portions from the newsletter has been stricken-out and this'll be my last comment, over here. &#x222F; <b style="color:#070">WBG</b> converse 04:39, 27 July 2018 (UTC)
 * , as someone who sports  a NPR bauble on  their vast  array  of user page icons, but  have never used the requested right, you've got  your  own way - as you  try  to  do  by  curiously popping up  absolutely  everywhere I post. Moreover, curiouser and curiouser, for your short tenure, for some odd reason you  have also  become the 3rd top poster to  my  12-year-old talk  page. If  it  serves your  purpose, indeed keep disencouraging active users who have done a lot  for  Wikipedia, but still I  fail  to  understand why  you  get pleasure out  of your  admitted  obnoxious' passive-aggressive'' behavior' . Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 05:02, 27 July 2018 (UTC).
 * Since you took the oppurtunity to ping me,I will reply.I guess that you're having a bit of comprehension problems, of late, as evident at ICPH's t/p and over here. The 'obnoxious' passive-agrresive behaviour was a reference to your cranky attitude towards anyone who chooses to cross your path.Also, I was pretty surprised to know that I have never used the NPR user-right.(Probably,the server is playing tricks and displaying odd things.)As to curiously popping up everywhere you post, I guess we have a common domain of interests including school AfDs, COIN et al and miscellaneous overlaps,which probably explains it, unless you do claim some form of stalking which will probably need an administrative board to be settled out.Best, &#x222F; <b style="color:#070">WBG</b> converse 06:12, 27 July 2018 (UTC)

 * - would you  mind if I  edit  it a bit for  more journalistic easy reading? You  can always revert. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 04:00, 26 July 2018 (UTC)

Worcester articles
Hi there, as you know I've been editing Worcester and History of Worcester; I've also been doing Bromsgrove and History of Worcestershire. Plus some other odds and ends. If you have time to look at any of these pages and give any pointers I'd be very grateful, as this has been a rather long and lonely task so far. Jim Killock (talk) 19:59, 26 July 2018 (UTC)
 * I have been watching and following your work, . Thank you for all you are doing. Yes, it's lonely in rural Worcestershire - there's more life in my village in Thailand. I've been looking for someone for years to help me take Malvern to FA. It's too much for me to do alone. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 20:08, 26 July 2018 (UTC)
 * What do you think needs doing there? Not that I am volunteering ;) And is anyone else actively helping on the Worcestershire pages? FWIW I'm in London these days. Jim Killock (talk) 20:24, 26 July 2018 (UTC)
 * If you're not volunteering, don't worry about it ;)  It would be nice for it to be a FA though, there are only 6 FA for towns or cities in the whole of England.  It might be easier if it were shorter, e.g. moving most of the history to a stand-alone 'History of Malvern' page. I don't believe there are any truly active editors on the Worcs project nowadays. UK county projects are not noted for activity. I really ought to send out a newsletter and see what happens. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 20:56, 26 July 2018 (UTC)

RfA candidate
Are you able to put me on the nomination list for RfA candidate. I have done a lot of edits on wikipedia and I followed wikipedia's guidelines. More information is here Requests for adminship/Anonymous1941 User:Anonymous1941 (talk) 05:35, 26 July 2018 (UTC)
 * You are too new to editing Wikipedia for a request for adminship to be successful. Consider reviewing WP:Not now. Consider applying in a few years after a lot more time spent editing. --Izno (talk) 21:40, 26 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Above all, if you ever want to be an admin, you will need to get used to reading instructions such as WP:RFAADVICE. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 21:47, 26 July 2018 (UTC)
