Could I get your perspective please.
Hi Riley, not sure if you remember me, but we've chatted a couple of times before. I'm reaching out to you to ask for your participation in a recent DRV I've submitted for Margo Rey article here. Please note, I am not asking that you back my position! I am simply seeking a truly unbiased opinion here and I've always known you to be fair. Thanks.

Vandalism Studies Update - August 2012
Hello, members of the Vandalism Studies Project! As some of us are quite new with the Vandalism Studies project, it would make sense for us to re-read some of the past studies, as well as studies outside the project. Please do so if you have a chance, just so we can get into the groove of things. We're planning on attempting to salvage the Obama study (or possibly simply convert it to a new Romney study), as well as hopefully begin our third study this November. If you have any ideas for Study 3, please suggest them! If you have any questions please post them on the project talk page. Thanks, and happy editing - we can't wait to begin working on the project! --Dan653 (talk) and  Theo polisme  :) 11:31, 24 August 2012 (UTC) If you would like to stop receiving Vandalism Studies newsletters, please remove your name from the member list.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Sody's yellow house bat, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Native (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

User:Keelan717
I think I need a second opinion from someone who also knows what's going on here. The user appears to not understand the experiential expectations for adminship or bureaucrat nominations. I don't really have a problem with them nominating themselves and finding that out for themselves. However, I've noticed the editor editing under an IP too (e.g. responding to your question here. Again, it's a new user, so I'm not necessarily concerned, because they might've forgotten to sign in.  What bothers me is that they are clearly trying to use two accounts per this edit to support his own nomination when the user already expressed support under their own username.  This kind of behavior is never OK, even if these RfA/RfB/whatever aren't going anywhere.  I'm thinking a warning on their talk page is needed right now, and should this kind of socking continue, I think this needs to go to AN/I. What are your thoughts? I, Jethrobot drop me a line (note: not a bot!) 12:40, 1 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I agree with you, when he joined IRC to ask for help, he had the same IP addresses as the ons that were used to vote for him. Feel free to drop a warning and head thataway if you feel it is necessary. -- Cheers,  Riley Huntley talk  15:11, 1 September 2012 (UTC)

Keelan RfB
Are you serious about  encouraging  Keelan (1 edit to  mainspace) to  run for crathip? I think this is extremely misplaced, and if it's a joke, it's in very bad taste. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 13:36, 1 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I was not encouraging the user, he joined IRC asking how to make it so others could vote and how to create a RfB but left before I could tell him how to do the things. Since he already figured out how to make the page, I just informed him on what he asked to know. -- Cheers, <span title="Shoot!" style="font-family: Mono; font-weight: bold; cursor: crosshair;"> Riley Huntley talk  15:08, 1 September 2012 (UTC)


 * With all due respect Riley, that should have immediately raised the concern that anyone who doesn't know how to apply shouldn't be applying, and to rapidly provide them with some appropriate advice. A quick look  at  his contribs would also have shown that he only had 1 edit to mainspace. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 15:23, 1 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Kudpung, you are assuming a lot of things. I was aware of the user's edit count and warned the user about it saying they were unlikely to pass, the user said he wanted to try anyways. -- Cheers, <span title="Shoot!" style="font-family: Mono; font-weight: bold; cursor: crosshair;"> Riley Huntley talk  15:32, 1 September 2012 (UTC)
 * My apologies -  I couldn't actually  see where you  had given him that advice - must  have missed it. But you are right, I often assume a lot and that's perhaps why I catch  so many socks ;) Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 17:55, 1 September 2012 (UTC)
 * FWIW, he and his socks have been blocked. All his edits were vandalism including  the fake RfA he started without  permission for another user. You may wish to keep an eye on  his IP in case he starts again - we can't keep IPs blocked forever. It  may  be a former permabanned user who  has come back  with  a vengeance. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 07:46, 2 September 2012 (UTC)
 * BTW, it was only on checking later that I realised he had fallen hook, line, and sinker for your cool question. There's also a short message for you on my  tp. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 07:57, 2 September 2012 (UTC)

PERM
I think you  may  be archiving  some requests too  soon. I would have liked Courselles to have responded to  an on-going  discussion. I also think  it's important  to give it  a couple of days for applicants to  return to  the board and see the responses -  not everyone like you and I, is online 24/7 ;) Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 06:40, 3 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Which on-going discussion is that? I am currently archiving requests that have been decided at a minimum of two days (server time) ago? Were only online 24/7? Feels like longer. :D I apologize for any inconvenience, sorry. -- Cheers, <span title="Shoot!" style="font-family: Mono; font-weight: bold; cursor: crosshair;"> Riley Huntley talk  06:43, 3 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Riley, I'll handle archiving Rollback requests, and you'll handle everything else, if it's fine with you. Armbrust's block expires on September 14th. Let's wait until the page has been cluttered to archive. PERM isn't that urgent. Best, Electric Catfish 11:20, 3 September 2012 (UTC).
 * Electriccatfish2, there really isn't a need for two of us archiving. Even if there was a backlog, two people archiving at the same time would be an accident waiting to happen. With that said, I am going to continue doing what I was doing. Anyways, why are you commenting on my talk page?

You were absolutely right
The revert you made on Qin Shi Huang was correct, you were very intuitive! It was vandalism, feel free to warn that person.

 * You are the first person welcomed me!Smiley.svg You are very observant! Thank you very much for the praise, the articles were not my work alone, User:CaroleHenson helped me out a great deal both on editing and finding sources. I am slowly improving, which is a good sign. I still have so much to discover and learn!

By the way, I am thinking about writing some templates that will stimulate the understanding between neurotypical and autistic editors. This idea came from my personal experience of using smiley faces, they help me add correct tone to my words otherwise I find difficult and sometimes misunderstood.

Would you like to help out on drafting a project idea here? -- RexRowan  Talk  15:56, 4 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Sure, the idea sounds really good. I cannot guarantee that others would like the idea though. I'm sure many others have trouble with communicating and having the wrong tone when meaning to have a good one. :) -- Cheers, <span title="Shoot!" style="font-family: Mono; font-weight: bold; cursor: crosshair;"> Riley Huntley talk  14:28, 5 September 2012 (UTC)

Rollback at CVUA
Hi Riley. Since the discussion there was closed, I thought I'd reply to you here. The big problem with expecting editors to have rollback rights before becoming an instructor is that it excludes a number of good instructors. Anyone who doesn't want to use rollback, or has had it taken away for any reason in the past therefore cannot be an instructor. Rollback doesn't (or shouldn't) give any additional status, it's not required to revert vandalism and if you start using it as a requirement. I personally don't want rollback and if there was a way of getting rid of it as an admin, I would - I find the button more annoying than anything else. <span style='text-shadow:0 -1px #DDD,1px 0 #DDD,0 1px #DDD,-1px 0 #DDD;'> Worm TT( talk ) 07:53, 4 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I hear exactly what your saying and I agree with it. There are tons of great people out there [who don't have rollback] that would be great instructors. I guess the best we can do to get good instructors is to invite the right people. I will comment on this further after work. -- Cheers, <span title="Shoot!" style="font-family: Mono; font-weight: bold; cursor: crosshair;"> Riley Huntley talk  15:31, 4 September 2012 (UTC)

Doctors (soap opera)
Hi, Thanks for your help in reference to my AWB request. Having had a check, unfortunately, it seems that not all of the links have been changed. I am assuming this is because a lot of pages don't refer directly to its old name, Doctors (2000 TV series), and use something like Doctors. Would you be able to do another run for this specific term, which should clear a lot? I will then have to look again to see what is left.

The Tea Leaf - Issue Six
Hi! Welcome to the sixth edition of The Tea Leaf, the official newsletter of the Teahouse!
 * Teahouse serves over 700 new editors in six months on Wikipedia! Since February 27, 741 new editors have participated at the Teahouse. The Q&A board and the guest intro pages are more active than ever.
 * Automatic invites are doing the trick: 50% more new editors visiting each week. Ever since HostBot's automated invite trial phase began we've seen a boost in new editor participation. Automating a baseline set of invitations also allows Teahouse hosts to focus on serving hot cups of help to guests, instead of spending countless hours inviting.
 * Guests to the Teahouse continue to edit more & interact more with other community members than non-Teahouse guests according to six month metrics. Teahouse guests make more than twice the article edits and edit more talk pages than other new editors.
 * New host process implemented which encourages anyone to get started as a Teahouse host in a few easy steps. Stop by the hosts page and become a Teahouse host today!
 * Host lounge renovations nearing completion. Working closely with Teahouse hosts, we've made some major renovations to the Teahouse Host Lounge - the main hangout and resource space for hosts. Learn more about the improvements here.

As always, thanks for supporting the Teahouse project! Stop by and visit us today!

Comments on my talk  page
Hi Riley. I think it's best to ley  me decide where I  post  things, and if I'm  procedurally  wrong, I'm  sure my  admin  colleagues wilol tell  me, so  I'll handle my  part  of  this the way I  think  best. I have already previously left suitable comments at AIN and what takes place on my  tp  is to  help  spare Anderson  any  more embarrassment  and pile-ons at  ANI. More than enough has been said on tje ANI, several admins concur, and it could have been closed when I suggested it should. It just  remains now to  see if the advice will  be taken. Thanks. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 03:11, 6 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Sure, whatever you feel best! I just mentioned that so I wasn't posting the same message twice again. Have a good day. -- Cheers, <span title="Shoot!" style="font-family: Mono; font-weight: bold; cursor: crosshair;"> Riley Huntley talk  03:32, 6 September 2012 (UTC)
 * FYI, see Anderson's talk page now - things are getting beyond control. If  it  continues, because I'm  too  involved now,  I'll have to  ask  another admin for input  and let them  block, or impose a topic ban (best)  if necessary. There won't  be any  need to  go  through the whole rigmarole of another ANI.  Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 08:03, 6 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Kudpung, if you want a topic ban (which I agree would be the best outcome, compared with blocking) it needs to be needs to be done by the community (hence, probably AN or ANI). "Individual editors, including administrators, may not directly impose bans" (Topic ban). Or have I missed something? Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 08:31, 6 September 2012 (UTC)
 * There is also the possibility that the user may voluntarily accept a topic ban, perhaps in lieu of a block, or as part of an unblock request. Not all bans have to go through the community. <span style='text-shadow:0 -1px #DDD,1px 0 #DDD,0 1px #DDD,-1px 0 #DDD;'> Worm TT( talk ) 08:55, 6 September 2012 (UTC)

 * It's an agreement with the unblocking admin and so fits under IAR. Restrictions include topic bans, area bans, requirements for mentorship and so on. I believe the closest we get to actually having it written down as a solution is at Editing restrictions, under probation. <span style='text-shadow:0 -1px #DDD,1px 0 #DDD,0 1px #DDD,-1px 0 #DDD;'> Worm TT( talk ) 09:21, 6 September 2012 (UTC)

Are they actively processing requests on the Reviewer request page? That's almost why I didn't submit my request a couple days ago. Weird. <span style="color:#CCCC00; text-shadow:black 0em 0em 0.7em,black -0.4em -0.4em 0.5em,black 0.2em 0.4em 0.5em">Lighthead  þ 19:04, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
 * It'll probably take more than a day for your request to get answered. I'm guessing it'll take ~4 days, which seems to be average. The request from the 30th should've been answered by now, but they're is no real deadline. --Mysterytrey 21:28, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
 * If you're incredibly worried about getting about it - which I see no reason why you should be, it's just a userright, and pending changes doesn't seem to coming for a while (given the tendency of "the Wikipedian" to argue about anything and everything) - you could just leave a message on an admin's talk asking them to take a look.

 * I'm neither impatient about it nor patiently waiting. I'm just wondering why the one before me was never answered back upon.

Notice and recommendation
Hi, just letting you know that I completed all six of your file renaming requests. All requests were completely valid, and you seem decently experienced in the file namespace. May I recommend that you request file-mover rights, because you know what you're doing and it would take the tedious work off of other file-movers' shoulders, if you moved the files yourself.

WikiEmperor, we're talking about.
I have a question, since you've been on Wikipedia a really long time. If somebody has complete autocratic rule over a Wikiproject... is there a way to even report that. This person that I'm talking about; yeah he keeps those articles in line, but at what cost. It seems like no one can make any edits that don't meet with his personal approval. I don't see how that can be allowed, but it seems like he's gotten away with it for some time now. Please let me know. Thanks. I'm going to sleep right now on this side of the world (I'm not sure where you're from), so don't expect an immediate response to your response.

Adopt-a-user
Hi Riley Huntley. I'm leaving you this message because you have previously been involved as an adopter with Wikipedia's Adopt-a-user program. A clean-up of this program is currently underway, and as part of the process I am trying to find out who is and isn't still interested in remaining an adopter.

If you would prefer not to be part of the adoption program anymore, you need do nothing; when the overhaul of the project is completed your name will be removed from the list of active adopters. However, if you have current adoptees, an active adoption school or an interest in adopting in the near future, then please let us know by signing here.

If you want to remain in the project and can currently take on more adoptees, there is a serious backlog at Category:Wikipedians seeking to be adopted in Adopt-a-user; it would be enormously helpful if you could take on one or two of the users there. Please do keep an eye on the project for upcoming changes, we could use your opinions and your help! Yunshui 雲&zwj;水 09:17, 19 September 2012 (UTC)

Counter-Vandalism Unit/Academy/Enroll
Hi there. ome serious suggestions for a total  overhaul are now being made. In anticipation  of the possible implementation  of these changes, some things that  could immediately  help  reduce the bureaucracy, would be to  reduce the banter and the use of 'clerking' style micro  templates. I have proposed one solution that  puts the entire CVU 'school' on  one single page, placing  responsibility  for project  management  squarely at  the hands of the 'active' trainers themselves, obviating  any  forms of secondary  discussion.

Hi. I'm leaving you this message because you have previously been involved with Counter-Vandalism, and may  still  be. The Academy project has been restructured, placing responsibility for it on the trainers themselves and as part of the process I am trying to find out who is still interested in remaining as active trainers.

In future, there will be no clerking or coordination, so If you are still active and can respond to requests from  students within around 48 hours, you need do nothing until a new student contacts you on your talk page. Nevertheless, if your status changes, please update your entry on the table of active trainers at the new  WP:CVUA page. If you no longer have sufficient time to commit to the CV training project, that's fine, but please remove your name from the active list.

Speedy deletion nomination of File:IMG 0180.JPG


A tag has been placed on File:IMG 0180.JPG requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image page for a missing or corrupt image or an empty image description page for a Commons-hosted image.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

I would also admonish you to use a little common sense - saying that cavendish bananas are eaten raw is certainly not vandalism by any stretch of the imagination. I think you might be a little too hasty to revert an edit just because it comes from an unregistered user - remember that IPs are human, too and some of us are also experienced users who, from one reason or another, don't bother to log in anymore. Remember that 80% of edits made by IPs are legitimate edits the next time you are tempted to push the undo button just because the person who made the edit is an IP. 76.231.150.69 (talk) 01:54, 6 October 2012 (UTC)
 * I am quite aware that IPs are human too, I actually enjoy working with IPs on several Wikipedia pages and I was not tempted to push the revert button just because an IP made the edit.

Page Curation newsletter - closing up!
Hey all :).

We're (very shortly) closing down this development cycle for Page Curation. It's genuinely been a pleasure to talk with you all and build software that is so close to my own heart, and also so effective. The current backlog is 9 days, and I've never seen it that low before.

However! Closing up shop does not mean not making any improvements. First-off, this is your last chance to give us a poke about unresolved bugs or report new ones on the talkpage. If something's going wrong, we want to know about it :). Second, we'll hopefully be taking another pass over the software next year. If you've got ideas for features Page Curation doesn't currently have, stick them here.

Aziz Ozan Öztürk
I am aware that I tagged Aziz Ozan Öztürk with A1 premature (page 14 minutes old), but I feel it would useless to remove the templates to add them back 20 minutes later. Apologies for tagging the article so early in the first place. '''<span title="Shoot!" style="font-family: Mono; Cursor: crosshair;">-- Cheers, Riley   Huntley ''' 16:18, 31 October 2012 (UTC)

Kings Island Facts
You deleted this sub page Kings Island Facts, This page is a subpage for Kings Island to contain lists of facts that do not belong on the main page for GA Staandard reasons. Please undo this.--Nickvet419 (talk) 02:41, 1 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Hello, I am not a administrator, thus I did not delete the fact page, I only nominated the article for deletion since the usable information was merged and because it was a Redundant fork. The article is only B class so there is no concern about the content meeting GA standards, it can also always be improved to GA standards. <span title="Shoot!" style="font-family: Mono; Cursor: crosshair;">-- Cheers, Riley   Huntley  02:52, 1 November 2012 (UTC)

Rollback of edit on Kings Island.
This information had previously been in the article before and removed for GA standards, discussed in the talk page. --Nickvet419 (talk) 03:20, 1 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Ah, thanks for explaining now. Content should not be sacrificed just because it does not meet GA standards, specially when there is no current review on the article. Yes, lists may not be able to be expanded like the section "Current attractions" but bulleted information can be expanded into paragraphs. I have re-added the "Notable people" section, which I ask you do not remove without a response here. <span title="Shoot!" style="font-family: Mono; Cursor: crosshair;">-- Cheers, Riley   Huntley  03:30, 1 November 2012 (UTC)
 * sounds good to me, I found notable people to be noteworthy as it is referenced also in the peoples wiki pages, but also make a note on the talk page for you reasoning. --Nickvet419 (talk) 03:34, 1 November 2012 (UTC)

Novel American Tyler Ward Correction
You had edited the Novel American article and bluelinked the name Tyler Ward. I wanted to clarify for you that this is the wrong Tyler Ward. I actually made the same mistake the first time I started following Novel American. The Tyler Ward who played drums for NA is not the Tyler Ward famous for his YouTube cover. NA's Tyler Ward came from Cecil Adora with Van Beasley and is a different person just with the same name. On Twitter, the Tyler Ward that has the Wiki page is @TylerWardMusic and NA's old Tyler Ward is @TylerWardIs. I've also asked Josh Farro to re-verify this and I'll let you know if he gets back to me. Thanks for your time!
 * Wow, thank you so much for correcting me! <span title="Shoot!" style="font-family: Mono; Cursor: crosshair;">-- Cheers, Riley   Huntley  14:49, 1 November 2012 (UTC)

Your bad faith
Riley, I look forward to your apology. Will you look at User:Don'tletthepigeonfan, deleted by JohnCD as a copyright violation? That's the page I reported as a copyright violation, and you went on to claim that I was a vandal of some sort. You are welcome to look at my other contributions, on TheFilmSchool and on Woking High School, and I'll serve you your crow any way you like. Seriously: you placed a vandal-3 template on my talk page, and I want that gone and replaced with an apology. Thanks! 66.168.247.159 (talk) 21:27, 1 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Actually, I made the edit in good faith (as all my edits are made) by leaving a attempt-2 template on your talk page because of what the filter log showed, which was section blanking. I am not talking about this one but more this and this, same with this. Now for the personal attack template, you have made several personal attacks on vandals, which is not appropriate and encyclopedic. I will not remove any warnings (certainly not the personal attack template) until you explain your edits. As I mentioned, I am making this edit in good faith. :) <span title="Shoot!" style="font-family: Mono; Cursor: crosshair;">-- Cheers, Riley   Huntley 
 * You made all your edits in good faith--do you have any idea how sanctimonious that sounds? All those edits were correct and you know it. For instance, you point at Red Ribbon Week--my edits were followed by those of, who kindly left me a welcome template, and , an admin who protected the page after I asked for it at RFPP. In other words, you may have looked at something, but you didn't look far enough, and that's why you won't make admin anytime soon. The only reason you slapped warning templates around is that you don't know how to write content and that you think IP editors aren't worth your time. I left you this message in good faith, as an opportunity for you to improve yourself. Now, you won't retract the vandalism templates you left on my talk page, and I don't see an apology yet, so I'll just leave you an expletive there in response. Be careful not to use rollback incorrectly when you're following me around. All the best, Riley Huntley. 66.168.247.159 (talk) 21:55, 1 November 2012 (UTC)
 * I got one for you: Uw-harass3 66.168.247.159 (talk) 22:13, 1 November 2012 (UTC)
 * I removed the good faith warning I placed incorrectly, sadly, I had to place a last warning for personal attacks per your contributions ( Edit summaries:  . Please be the force of good, okay? <span title="Shoot!" style="font-family: Mono; Cursor: crosshair;">-- Cheers,  Riley   Huntley 
 * Pay respect, Mr. Riley Huntley. If you look carefully and corroborate my talk page with my edit history, you'll find that I've been warned by a large number of ... who don't know dick about editing or writing and who think that IP editors should by definition be distrusted. I'm saddened to see that you seem to be one of them. You can get all hoity-toity about "personal insults" or whatever, but maybe you should try editing while not logged in, to see what a large pool of idiots we have here, armed with rollback and Twinkle and templates at the ready. You'll be saying worse than me in no time. Now, I'm going to take your advice and your final warning to heart, fo shizzle, and will leave you with your righteousness. I hope you will draw one or more appropriate lessons from this, for when you do run for admin. Until you do, I won't !vote for you (I will log in for the occasion, of course). 66.168.247.159 (talk) 23:06, 1 November 2012 (UTC)

This is not a newsletter
This is just a tribute.

Anyway. You're getting this note because you've participated in discussion and/or asked for updates to either the Article Feedback Tool or Page Curation. This isn't about either of those things, I'm afraid ;p. We've recently started working on yet another project: Echo, a notifications system to augment the watchlist. There's not much information at the moment, because we're still working out the scope and the concepts, but if you're interested in further updates you can sign up here.

In addition, we'll be holding an office hours session at 21:00 UTC on Wednesday, 14 November in #wikimedia-office - hope to see you all there :). I appreciate it's an annoying time for non-Europeans: if you're interested in chatting about the project but can't make it, give me a shout and I can set up another session if there's enough interest in one particular timezone or a skype call if there isn't.

AFT5 newsletter
Hey all :). A couple of quick updates (one small, one large)

First, we're continuing to work on some ways to increase the quality of feedback and make it easier to eliminate and deal with non-useful feedback: hopefully I'll have more news for you on this soon :).

Second, we're looking at ways to increase the actual number of users patrolling and take off some of the workload from you lot. Part of this is increasing the prominence of the feedback page, which we're going to try to do with a link at the top of each article to the relevant page. This should be deployed on Tuesday (touch wood!) and we'll be closely monitoring what happens. Let me know if you have any questions or issues :).

afd relistings
It's a little unusual to relist articles three times, especially blps. If there are two deletes plus the nominator & no plausible keeps, that's normally enough discussion. In the past, we used to delete if there was even one + the nominator, but if that's the case, it might make more sense to give an opinion. I will probably close a few on the more obvious ones as delete or in the other direction as no consensus, since there is no rule how long something has to stay after a relisting, though for a first relisting, we usually give another 7 days.

Cost to company
Hi Riley

Concerning your reversal of my edit: I left a note on the discussion page, but failed to refer to it on the edit summary. I propose that CTC be deleted, but it takes me too long to find out about the process, so I was asking that someone with more experience take it up. It makes no sense ro point "CTC" to "employment", where there is not a single mention of it. Therefore, anyone wnating to know what CTC is, will walk away as ignorant as before and annoyed to boot.

 * Hello, thanks for all the work you have done. I agree with you that it shouldn't be redirected, and I thought I stated in my edit summary but I guess not. It is best for it to redirect until you have decided what needs to be done with it though as someone would be even more annoyed to boot if they found a blank article instead of what they are searching for.

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/UFC on FX: Sotiropoulos vs. Pearson
NAC's are not suitable for MMA event where the MMA fans !voting keep don't directly address policy. Can you please re-open, or if you disagree please expand your close to include what sources your feel are not routine coverage and are from reliable sources. Thanks Mt  king (edits) 03:39, 21 November 2012 (UTC)
 * From what I have seen with the discussion, consensus is clearly stating keep (fans or not; most have good points). "NAC's are not suitable for MMA event where the MMA fans !voting keep don't directly address policy." First, please read NAC which does not state anything you just mentioned as what a non-admin should and should not close. Several policies are mentioned like WP:MMANOT, WP:EFFECT, WP:NOT DOES (don't know what that one is) and WP:Crystal Ball. I don't know why you are asking me to go through the article and point out the RS's and which aren't, specially since your/the nomination was not stating that the references were not reliable sources. <span title="Shoot!" style="font-family: Mono; Cursor: crosshair;">-- Cheers, Riley   Huntley  03:53, 21 November 2012 (UTC)
 * WP:NOT is a policy, WP:EFFECT is a guideline and WP:MMANOT is an essay, None of the Keeps addressed the issue of failing not newspaper by demonstrating it does pass, as is common with MMA events for example Articles for deletion/UFC 155 and Articles for deletion/UFC 156. Mt  king (edits) 04:14, 21 November 2012 (UTC)
 * I appreciated the solid judgment on the AfD Riley. MtKing is on some sort of bizarre witch hunt to delete as many MMA related articles as possible with his cookie cutter AfD template and reasoning which has been overruled many times already.  Thanks for doing what was right.  Hopefully this guy will find something else to do with the several hours per day he wastes on it soon enough.I remember halloween (talk) 16:01, 21 November 2012 (UTC)

Articles_for_deletion/Savad_Rahman
Hi Riley. Can you please revert your closure of this AfD and let an admin to do perform the closure. Nomination itself is a delete vote and so there exist one delete vote with no support whatsoever for keeping the article. Usually, in past, I've seen such AfDs where there have been zero participation (other than the nom), the article getting deleted because an admin agrees with the nomination. Perhaps, please let an admin do the job of closing this. Cheers!  TheSpecialUser TSU 03:40, 21 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Hi, nice to hear from you, how are things? I reverted my closure of which I closed per WP:NPASR ("If a nomination has received few or no comments from any editor besides the nominator, the discussion may be closed at the closer's discretion and best judgment."). I will leave this to an admin to make a soft deletion unless, someone comments before that and then the discussion might need to be relisted.

List of Football-related deletion discussions
Hi Riley - please be careful when adding the "Note: This debate has been included in the list of Football-related deletion discussions" tag to AfDs - it refers to association football only, you have incorrectly tagged the AfDs on Shana Ting Lipton and Na Gaeil Óga CLG. Regards, GiantSnowman 12:46, 22 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Thank for the heads up. I honestly don't know why I tagged Shana Ting Lipton, I must have had it mixed in with the templates I was pasting.. What would you recommend Na Gaeil Óga CLG be sorted as instead then? There must be some category for football teams. Thanks again. <span title="Shoot!" style="font-family: Mono; Cursor: crosshair;">-- Cheers, Riley   Huntley  15:27, 22 November 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm pretty sure sports clubs would feature in the 'List of organisation-related deletion discussions' page. GiantSnowman 08:50, 23 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Hey Riley, hope you don't mind me butting in, I'm also a member of WikiProject Deletion sorting. Articles on Gaelic football clubs, competitions etc. should be listed under Sports. You could also list it under Organizations buts it's more intend for Charities, Conservation groups, Animals rights groups etc. So I struck/crossed out football from Na Gaeil Óga CLG and removed it from this delsort page & listed it under Sports although it is meta list so technically it was already listed there but in the wrong place. I'm sure you noticed already but there's a full list of delsorts page here. Don't worry I made a similar mistake with languages/computing if you've any questions don't hesitate in asking me. &#9733;&#9734; DUCK IS JAMMMY &#9734;&#9733; 00:48, 30 November 2012 (UTC)

Speedy deletion at :w:mdf
Hi! This is Farhad from Wikipedias in the languages of Russia project. I noted your activity marking article stubs for speedy deletion @ mdf: & would like to request you to explain the reason. That wiki doesn't have such a policy and it doesn't fall under en:Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion. This dormant wiki has a total language community of about 2000 native speakers (mostly computer-illeterate seniors, I live in a nearby region) and an interwiki linked terminologic glossary they managed to create is an important tool I would rather see kept. Regards, --Frhdkazan (talk) 10:54, 29 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Yes, the wiki does not have a speedy deletion criteria, "speedy deletion" just applies deletion without a week long discussion. Perhaps I'm missing something, but the articles I requested deletion for were not stubs, for them to be stubs they'd need adequate context. Speaking through my CVN/SWMT experience, articles with little or no context usually end up being speedily deleted - regardless of the project, unless local policy says otherwise. It is not appropriate to have blank articles that only exist for interwiki links, and if these articles were indeed stubs, they should be marked as such with a template. Please do correct me if I'm wrong, but rechecking some of the contributions in question; these articles met the "general criteria" for speedy deletion that we use as part of the SWMT. Interwiki linked terminological glossary is indeed important, but articles should only be created if there is context to go with them. Creating an article results in a blue link, that implies there is information to be read. Another reason to delete these pages is that by having them exist, they show as real articles when viewing the same article in a different language. (i.e. By having mdf:Культурсь exists, it shows on Culture that the article is available in  to read, which is misleading) I hope that makes sense. :) <span title="Shoot!" style="font-family: Mono; Cursor: crosshair;">--  Cheers,   Ri l ey   01:18, 30 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Hi there. The point is that someone put time and effort in growing the wiki by creating "those article stubs" and linking them with articles in other languages. What that someone did is good for a language whose native speakers are dying out and are too few to publish books, dictionaries or encyclopedias for their youth in a traditional way. In digital age, deleting those is like burning books ... There's a chance there won't be anyone who could recreate those later - who speaks the language and is willing to find/work with the limited number of books that it has. When on a wiki, put interests of that language users first would seem a good rule that would override any "general criteria" - similar to Hippocratic Oath. By the way, is there a way to engage all SWMT members into making constructive contribution on small wikis (like categorization and formatting, etc.), for every deletion they make? --Frhdkazan (talk) 05:35, 30 January 2016 (UTC)
 * I understand where you are coming from, but I cannot agree that these articles are stubs. An article with zero content cannot be a stub. I don't see what time and effort you speak of in terms of "linking them with articles in other languages", as shown (1,2,3) many of these articles were never linked with articles in other languages, just blank pages categorized. Most, if not all, of the interwiki links were additions of bots (since removed as there is now wikidata.) It can't be "burning books", they have zero content, this is more like burning blank printer paper. In regards to SWMT doing categorization and formatting, those responsibilities are generally left to the community of the wikimedia project in question. <span title="Shoot!" style="font-family: Mono; Cursor: crosshair;">-- Cheers,   Ri l ey   05:48, 30 January 2016 (UTC)
 * I see no reason to apply uniform standards cross-wiki, as all communities differ in size and available resources. Keeping mdfwiki's title-only stubs will do that language community much more good than cause discom:::fort to other wiki readers. --Frhdkazan (talk) 15:04, 30 January 2016 (UTC)


 * The reason why there are uniform standards cross-wiki, is as a said above, because these blank articles are being linked on other language wikis and wikidata. As it is effecting other wikis, the cross-wiki standards are being brought in to question. A blank article should not be created purely for the sake of interwiki links. Looking more into depth, at least 40% of the articles I tagged do not even have interwiki links. (i.e. mdf:Ломаньтъналонь тонафнемакссь (социологиесь), mdf:Ваймонь содамась (псикологиесь), mdf:Эрямопингсь, mdf:Содаф ломатть, mdf:Покодема тевсь etc) What is your reasoning for these pages? <span title="Shoot!" style="font-family: Mono; Cursor: crosshair;">-- Cheers,   Ri l ey   22:02, 30 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Agree, title only page without interwikis or links to it inside the project is not valuable and can be deleted without any damage for any language revitalization project that might use the wiki.--Frhdkazan (talk) 09:11, 31 January 2016 (UTC)

The term Self-Directed Learning

Thank you for calling out 'BMK' on his profane response to my Robert Martinson edits (and subsequent abusive comments on my page).

Hello. Regarding the recent revert you made: you may already know about them, but you might find Template messages/User talk namespace useful. After a revert, these can be placed on the user's talk page to let them know you considered their edit inappropriate, and also direct new users towards the sandbox. They can also be used to give a stern warning to a vandal when they've been previously warned. Thank you.  Eagles   24/7  (C)  20:40, 3 November 2019 (UTC)

Sturm und Drang
Sorry if you're inconvenienced by the rangeblock on 92.24.104.0/22. You don't need to be told that it's perfectly legitimate for an editor to deregister and edit as an IP, especially when the username is unsuitable. Unfortunately, Sunshine has unorthodox ideas on the use of the toolkit - for example he has protected the reference desk for three months although a hundred editors and administrators have told him not to and nobody supports the move. In January he narrowly escaped a de - sysop for abuse.

It might be worth making an unblock request at ANI - there are many sympathetic administrators there. All the best, 78.145.18.154 (talk) 10:14, 1 March 2016 (UTC)

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.

Protection of this page
This user told me to contact on the user talk page, so here's the official request. On 31 March 2016, Magioladitis protected User talk:Riley Huntley with "Move=Require autoconfirmed or confirmed access" because of page move vandalism, but that protection level was wrong. The protection level of both that page and this page should instead be "Move=Require administrator access". The message was removed from User talk:Magioladitis and the WP:RFPP request was declined. GeoffreyT2000 (talk) 00:46, 5 May 2016 (UTC)
 * I am at a loss to why you are even making an "official" request or getting involved with a protection that has no effect on any one other than myself. The reason why the protection is not "move=sysop" is so that 1) I can move my talk page for easy archiving in the way I prefer 2) To not interfere with my rename which just occured and 3) because the only move vandalism was by non-autoconfirmed users. I encourage you to focus on useful contributions instead of meddling in user page protections that do not effect you. ~ riley  ( talk  ) 00:51, 5 May 2016 (UTC)
 * There has been no move vandalism by non-autoconfirmed users, since unconfirmed users cannot move pages, whatever the protection on the page (see WP:CONFIRM and WP:MOVE particularly WP:MOVE). If you are thinking of [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&page=User+talk%3ARiley+Huntley the move by Rj15rj15 at 22:54, 30 March 2016], they had become autoconfirmed more than sixteen hours earlier, at 06:35, 30 March 2016, that being their tenth edit.
 * In short: setting "Move=Require autoconfirmed or confirmed access" is pointless. -- Red rose64 (talk) 13:01, 5 May 2016 (UTC)
 * So unless we're looking to make work, it's fine as is because clearly, theres been no other vandalism to worry about. :) ~ riley  ( talk  ) 16:18, 5 May 2016 (UTC)

New Page Review needs your help
Hi ,

As an AfC reviewer you're probably aware that a new user right has been created for patrolling new pages (you might even have been granted the right already, and admins have it automatically).

Since July there has been a very serious backlog at Special:NewPagesFeed of over 14,000 pages, by far the worst since 2011, and we need an all out drive to get this back down to just a few hundred that can be easily maintained in the future. Unlike AfC, these pages are already in mainspace, and the thought of what might be there is quite scary. There are also many good faith article creators who need a simple, gentle push to the Tea House or their pages converted to Draft rather than being deleted. Although New Page Reviewing can occasionally be somewhat more challenging than AfC, the criteria for obtaining the right are roughly the same. The Page Curation tool is even easier to use than the Helper Script, so it's likely that most AfC reviewers already have more than enough knowledge for the task of New Page Review.

It is hoped that AfC reviewers will apply for this right at WP:PERM and lend a hand. You'll need to have read the page at WP:NPR and the new tutorial.

 * Hey Riley, I just check your 'tribs and the message at the top of your talk, I'm going to suspend your account for security reasons, I hope you're feeling better. Just ping me when you're back and I'll activate you account. again hope you are well, Cheers, -  Mlpearc  ( open channel ) 20:58, 13 March 2017 (UTC)
 * My apologies for the confusion, that message is old and due to be replaced. I am not active here, but on Commons. Please unsuspend as I am actively mailing list moderating for ACC. ~ riley  ( talk  )


 * Glad to hear you're OK, I'll unsuspended your account in a second, but Stwalkerster or Fastlizard will have to restore the IRC channel and mailing list. Again glad you're OK :)  -  Mlpearc  ( open channel ) 03:14, 14 March 2017 (UTC)


 * Hey Riley, I'm also glad to hear you're okay. I've gone ahead and restored your access to IRC and the mailing list since you were unsuspended very shortly after the original suspension.  As a reminder, though, please remember that the best way to ensure that you aren't suspended for inactivity is to log in to the tool at least once every 45 days; you don't even have to handle any requests, just log in.  Unfortunately, it's the only way for us to know you're active since it's impossible to see if you (or anyone else) is performing list moderator actions, and in the future - depending on who is reviewing the 45 day inactive list - it cannot be guaranteed that you'll receive warning of an inactivity suspension beforehand or afterwards (besides the automatic "access suspended" email from ACC).  But anyway, welcome back I suppose!  -- FastLizard4  (talk•contribs) 07:14, 14 March 2017 (UTC)
