User talk:Tinucherian/Archives/2009/June

In need of your mentorship
Hi,

I need help from an experienced Wikipedian, and I saw your name over at WP:ADOPT.

I need your advice concerning a WikiProject I've been coordinating. Here's the situation:

The project is WP:WPOOK. The set of pages the project concerns is listed at Portal:Contents/Outline of knowledge and WikiProject Outline of knowledge, and has grown to about 500 articles in the encyclopedia. I also run a team of 5 advanced wiki-editors – the team communicates via user talk page posts. We use a variety of tools such as AWB, bots, Linky, etc. to execute tasks on batches of hundreds of pages at a time. Three of the team's members are admins, and 2 of the members have bot accounts. The team works on tasks that I assign, on the OOK and also on problems that the OOK has revealed in the encyclopedia-at-large (reverse outlines are good at that) – we've worked on things as diverse as creating country demonym disambiguation pages, to cleaning up the CIA World Factbook data on country "Demographics of" pages, to renaming "Cuisine of" articles to their demonymic form, to organizing the "Index of x articles" pages, etc. I also send out a newsletter or project update to the team, to the WikiProject members, and to anybody else who has been involved or who has expressed interest (20 to 30 Wikipedians).

So you see, we can implement just about any strategy. But we need more strategies. Your ideas on the following would be greatly appreciated...

The goals of the WikiProject are:


 * 1) Increase awareness of readers of the existence of the outlines on Wikipedia
 * 2) Complete the existing outlines
 * 3) Create an outline for every subject that is exensive enough to benefit from having an outline (core subjects and major or extensive fields).  There are thousands of these.
 * 4) Recruit as many editors to work on these as possible (we need thousands of editors working on these)
 * 5) Surpass portals in number by the end of the summer, and leave them in the dust by the end of the year
 * 6) Get the major outline subject areas displayed on the Main Page (in place of or in addition to the portal links at the top of the page)
 * 7) Increase the OOK to higher quality than Britannica's Outline of Knowledge (published in its Propaedia volume).

We've posted over a thousand banners and notices so far, which resulted in just a couple complaints – one complainer posted at WT:WPOOK & WP:AN & WP:VPP and the other posted at WP:VPR. Not a bad negative feedback level for such a large posting. The complaints went nowhere, as several users came forward in defense of outlines.

I've proposed a 200-Wikiproject contest at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Countries, and I had notices posted on the talk pages of all the corresponding country WikiProjects' talk pages.

I've created some pointers for developing outlines to guide editors through the process of building outline pages, because once many editors are attracted, I won't be able to instruct them one-on-one. I've also been working on a new article for the subject, since the current article is very lacking.

I was hoping you could comment on how to achieve the goals above.

Also I'm interested in every possible way of reaching readers and editors of Wikipedia. How can I get the most eyes and typing fingers on Wikipedia's outlines? Contacting editors directly without a reason relevant to them is spam, which I'd like to avoid. There are 75,000 regular editors on Wikipedia, and I want to contact all of them. So how do I do it? Directly or indirectly, I don't care which, piecemeal or all-at-once, all methods are fine with me. But I've got to find ways. I need your help.

I would also like to know how to find or attract editors to create new outlines. And I need advice on finding editors to help write the new outline article mentioned above (it needs to be fleshed out, completely referenced, and brought to featured article status).

Can you recommend anyone in particular who might be interested in sinking their teeth into a project like this? Or ways to reach groups of editors? Or ways to reach all editors? I welcome any and all advice you might have.

I look forward to your reply on my talk page.

Re: your edit summary
In this [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Meetup&curid=481896&diff=295554940&oldid=293981356 edit] you removed craigslist saying it's "controversial to be there". May I ask why? -- &oelig; &trade; 02:02, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
 * With all these Craigslist controversies and illegal activities by users, I felt it is inappropriate to 'promote' it in WP. Just my opinion. feel free to revert it if really think otherwise. --  Tinu  Cherian  – 02:11, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I see. Okay I'm gonna go ahead and revert because none of those events in that article have anything to do with Wikipedia. It's not inappropriate, it's helpful for local Wikipedians to connect with each other. Craigslist is a wonderful resource if used properly. Also I don't think NPOV policy applies to most project namespace pages, especially WP:MEET, which is meant to be a promotion, and it's a helpful suggestion. Regards, &oelig; &trade; 02:19, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

Hey Tinu, can you just check out Raghuji Karande and User talk:Nilnone?

Hey
Hey, I noticed that the GOG guy has been giving trouble on the India pages to advance his own beliefs and cause, and does not seem to be listening to any of the other editors about OR or SYN. If I could make a suggestion, maybe his english skills might not be that good for the more complicated rules like that. Maybe you could have a editor who knows the official language of Goa (Kokani I think) try explaining it to him. Just a suggestion. Deavenger (talk) 19:02, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Seriously by the language GoG uses, I dont underestimate his english skills. is a konkani AFAIK. but even he rejected the idea at Wikipedia talk:INB. I will leave him a note this discussion -- <em style="font-family:Kristen ITC;color:#ff0000"> Tinu  <em style="font-family:Kristen ITC;color:#ff0000">Cherian  – 18:05, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I really wish I could be as nice as you guys are. But sorry, Im a little low on patience.Language isn't really a problem here. Anyway I could only be of limited help as I am not schooled in Konkani, just speak the home edition. The dialect would be annother issue. Anyway our ganvkaar seems to know enough English to find his way around the wiki-maze on his own,  :-). And maybe I am a bit paranoid, but this guy has also learned to put his socks:.
 * The problem as I see it is this: our ganvkaar is a young, idealistic, hot-blooded, chap who is concerned about the decline in the communidade system, possibly a member of the priviledged class who is no longer receiving his priviledges. He has read bits and pieces about the UN, Goa's history, international law and somehow come to the crazy conclusion that the state has no authority over any privately held land if it was established after the land came into private ownership. Parts of his theory are picked from those who were opposed to India's millitary invasion of Goa. Im sorry but 10 different people have tried talking nicely to him and it hasn't made a bit of difference. I doubt I will be able to even if I try to talk to him in Konkani. --Deepak D'Souza 18:37, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your valuable comments, Deepak. I am feeling a bit guilty of being a bit rude to him due to my ignorance of history of Goa. Thatz why I also wanted a re-think. -- <em style="font-family:Kristen ITC;color:#ff0000"> Tinu  <em style="font-family:Kristen ITC;color:#ff0000">Cherian  – 09:20, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Don't feel guilty about it, Tinu. Your behaviour, if it can be called rude, was a natural response to his behaviour. He will be one of thousands of such editors who will come, make a big drama and dissapear. Probably, I am more disappointed about how GoG turned out than you. We have very few native Goan editors on who are active and there is a lot of work to be done. I was hoping that with a dozen odd editors trying to talk sense to him he would see that he was mistaken, but well... . IMHO, Wikipedia can do with lesser but sincere editors rather than people who merely waste  other people's time. Let see if he comes back and shows a willingness to work within the rules. Then Ill surely help him out. --Deepak D'Souza 12:53, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Thanks for letting me know this. I have corrected most of my mistakes related to BIO tagging. This happened mainly because the article was placed in Category:Indian architects ( which you had [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Architecture_BRIO&diff=297263389&oldid=280914827 removed] now ) which is primarly a BIO category. This is also a [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Architecture_BRIO&diff=297302763&oldid=297263389 wrong category I had removed] from the same article. I was more interested in tagging india related articles for WP India and thought of tagging Category:Indian people for Wikiproject biography also ( i have stopped wp:biography tagging now) I 've tagged thousands of articles for various Wikiprojects till now and usually tag articles for projects with extreme care ( that is why i use manual save with my account these days, instead of bot flagged/auto save account with my AWB bot and yea some mistakes did happen sometimes.

Nice work on Newsletter
Hey Tinu. Good to see your message. This year I am just not able to spare free time for WP. I read the Newletter and wanted to congratulate you on good work. I would definitely try to login more often lend some help whenever possible. Keep up the good work!!! -- GP Pande  11:15, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

Not An Attack
That was not an attack, it was a reply to misinformation being spread by Satanoid/Morbid Fairy. He seems to "canvass" all and sundry and accuse me and Sineed of being "Extremists". Before you warn me, warn him about his behaviour. Look at his history. Everyone just ignores his behaviour. Thanks --Sikh-history (talk) 07:20, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I will take a look but I have noticed your past behaviours also. Kindly be aware that we are here to build an encyclopedia. -- <em style="font-family:Kristen ITC;color:#ff0000"> Tinu  <em style="font-family:Kristen ITC;color:#ff0000">Cherian  – 07:23, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
 * What past behaviours? --Sikh-history (talk) 08:56, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Also noted that what I stated was NOT considered a personal attack under wikipedia guidlines. Pointing out that someone had two accounts, has been warned for WP:Outing (probably the most serious offence on wikipedia) and also been blocked is not a personal attack. Please remove the warning from my talk page. Thanks--Sikh-history (talk) 19:03, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

Thank you
Thank you Tinu for not only your support, but for your kind words as well. To be honest, yep, I wish I would have been involved longer as well. I wish I would have signed up and started adding to the wiki years ago, but I am so glad now to be a member of our family. My very best to you my friend. ;) — Ched : ?  05:54, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

Re:Your RFA
Thank you for your kinds words. I would've replied sooner, but I've been a tad bit busy in real life, and with the RfA itself. Thanks again, --Patar knight - chat/contributions 11:55, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
