Women in Red 2017
Hi! I'm currently translating stubs from Spanish for the Women in Red 2017 World Contest before starting to translate longer articles and expanding the stubs. While I was thinking about looking for help from other participants interested in Latin America, I would be grateful if you are interested in giving a hand. Many thanks in advance! --Jamez42 (talk) 16:47, 22 November 2017 (UTC)
 * I was stupid enough to make the offer, what would you like me to do?Slatersteven (talk) 16:48, 22 November 2017 (UTC)

What's that saying?
Never mud wrestle with a pig(s), as you will only get filthy and the pig(s) will like it. Best of luck! C. W. Gilmore (talk) 16:39, 25 November 2017 (UTC)
 * This is a borderline violation of your ban, I suggest you do not do something like this again.Slatersteven (talk) 16:43, 25 November 2017 (UTC)
 * I was referring to myself and our little exchange in that RfC; I would never insult pig(s) in the manner insinuate as they are far too intelligent, the pig(s) that is. C. W. Gilmore (talk) 13:46, 28 November 2017 (UTC)
 * You might wish to know that this has been reported to an admin.Slatersteven (talk) 12:12, 26 November 2017 (UTC)
 * ;) C. W. Gilmore (talk) 12:21, 26 November 2017 (UTC)


 * Is it customary for this to happen on the AN/I discussions?  C. W. Gilmore (talk) 01:24, 1 December 2017 (UTC)
 * There is no reason to not remove a comment you think was wrong,. and you really do not to stop commeting on subjects relating to your ban.Slatersteven (talk) 10:09, 1 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Allowed to report violation, I believe. I leave the rest in your hands.  C. W. Gilmore (talk) 11:20, 1 December 2017 (UTC)

 * No, I have made two reverts.Slatersteven (talk) 12:02, 26 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Twice yesterday you removed content I added, once today, there's three. Removing the images can also count as one. Darkness Shines (talk) 12:07, 26 November 2017 (UTC)
 * So that would be three, and no removing the image does not count (read the policy WP:3RR).Slatersteven (talk) 12:10, 26 November 2017 (UTC)
 * The policy says"An edit or a series of consecutive edits that undoes other editors' actions—whether in whole or in part—counts as a revert" Removing images would be undoing another editors actions, cheers Darkness Shines (talk) 12:19, 26 November 2017 (UTC)
 * The report me, and we can hash it out there.Slatersteven (talk) 12:23, 26 November 2017 (UTC)
 * I'm not going to report you, it's not like you did it on purpose Darkness Shines (talk) 12:35, 26 November 2017 (UTC)
 * I did not do it, as I said read the policy. So if you are not gong to report me I shall just ignore this from this point on.Slatersteven (talk) 12:36, 26 November 2017 (UTC)

ANI Experiences survey
The Wikimedia Foundation Community health initiative (led by the Safety and Support and Anti-Harassment Tools team) is conducting a survey for en.wikipedia contributors on their experience and satisfaction level with the Administrator’s Noticeboard/Incidents. This survey will be integral to gathering information about how this noticeboard works - which problems it deals with well, and which problems it struggles with.

The survey should take 10-20 minutes to answer, and your individual responses will not be made public. The survey is delivered through Google Forms. The privacy policy for the survey describes how and when Wikimedia collects, uses, and shares the information we receive from survey participants and can be found here:

Why
Why do you want to delete an article even though it's obviously about a broader thing than the other one?★Trekker (talk) 11:27, 7 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Is it, how? it seems to be that (even before I made some alterations to it) it covered the same material. What material is not coverd in the other article?Slatersteven (talk) 11:30, 7 December 2017 (UTC)

2017 Military Historian of the Year and Newcomer of the Year nominations and voting
As we approach the end of the year, the Military History project is looking to recognise editors who have made a real difference. Each year we do this by bestowing two awards: the Military Historian of the Year and the Military History Newcomer of the Year. The co-ordinators invite all project members to get involved by nominating any editor they feel merits recognition for their contributions to the project. Nominations for both awards are open between 00:01 on 2 December 2017 and 23:59 on 15 December 2017. After this, a 14-day voting period will follow commencing at 00:01 on 16 December 2017. Nominations and voting will take place on the main project talkpage: here and here. Thank you for your time. For the co-ordinators, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 08:36, 8 December 2017 (UTC)

New Page Reviewer Newsletter
Hello, thank you for your efforts reviewing new pages!

Backlog update: Outreach and Invitations:
 * The new page backlog is currently at 12713 pages. Please consider reviewing even just a few pages each day! If everyone helps out, it will really put a dent in the backlog.
 * Currently the backlog stretches back to March and some pages in the backlog have passed the 90 day Google index point. Please consider reviewing some of them!
 * If you know other editors with a good understanding of Wikipedia policy, invite them to join NPP by dropping the invitation template on their talk page with: . Adding more qualified reviewers will help with keeping the backlog manageable.

New Year New Page Review Drive
 * A backlog drive is planned for the start of the year, beginning on January 1st and running until the end of the month. Unique prizes will be given in tiers for both the total number of reviews made, as well as the longest 'streak' maintained.
 * Note: quality reviewing is extremely important, please do not sacrifice quality for quantity.

General project update: If you wish to opt-out of future mailings, go here. —  TonyBallioni (talk) 20:27, 12 December 2017 (UTC) 
 * ACTRIAL has resulted in a significant increase in the quality of new submissions, with noticeably fewer CSD, PROD, and BLPPROD candidates in the new page feed. However, the majority of the backlog still dates back to before ACTRIAL started, so consider reviewing articles from the middle or back of the backlog.
 * The NPP Browser can help you quickly find articles with topics that you prefer to review from within the backlog.
 * To keep up with the latest conversation on New Pages Patrol or to ask questions, you can go to Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Reviewers and add it to your watchlist.
