Portal:New England

Hey there Northamerica! While going through the archives over at Featured portal candidates, I've noticed that you seem to have a good understanding of the Featured Portal criteria, and (as such) would like to kindly ask that, if your schedule permits, you could review Portal:New England at its FPOC. I'm not asking for a rubber-stamp of anything like that; as my first piece of potentially-audited work, I want to really do a job and get it right. Thank you. Achowat (talk) 15:38, 15 August 2012 (UTC)Reply

Nice work on all of those improvements and overall expansion to the portal. Reviewing takes significant time, so it may take me some time to post there. Thanks for working to improve the encyclopedia for the public! Northamerica1000(talk) 16:32, 16 August 2012 (UTC)Reply

!Voting summaries at WP:FPOC

Out of interest, what makes you think that whoever closes the discussion at WP:FPOC won't be able to read the discussions and see what the state of play is without the help of your ugly and unnecessary voting summary? Do you intend to do the same to FAC and FLC, or is it just the closers at FPoC who need your help? I'd love to see you try... Note that I am supporting one of the portals in question and opposing the other, so this is a point of principle on my part rather than anything against any particular portal. Consensus at featured process (apart from featured picture candidates) is not based purely on numbers of !votes, after all, and your table gives the impression that it does. Regards, BencherliteTalk 11:35, 17 August 2012 (UTC)Reply

This is a significant treatise about a rather simple method of organizing and summarizing information on a web page. FYI, I'm very, very well aware that Polling is not a substitute for discussion. I require time to formulate a potential response to other ideas above. Thanks for providing your viewpoint, and happy editing! Northamerica1000(talk) 11:55, 17 August 2012 (UTC)Reply
On another FPoC point, would you like to add your name at {{PortalReviewVolunteers/List}}? BencherliteTalk 12:05, 17 August 2012 (UTC)Reply
Thanks for the link; I wasn't aware of this page before. Under consideration. Best, Northamerica1000(talk) 12:09, 17 August 2012 (UTC)Reply

Talkback about AfD

Thank you for notifying me of your response in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Cardmobili. I appreciate that, though you may not bother with this in future, as I keep AfDs I participate in on my watchlist. Thanks again and happy editing! — Dmitrij D.

The Signpost: 20 August 2012

The Wikimedia Foundation sometimes proposes new features that receive substantive criticism from Wikimedians, yet those criticisms may be dismissed on the basis that people are resistant to change—there's an unjustified view that the wikis have been overrun by vested contributors who hate all change. That view misses a lot of key details and insight because there are good reasons that Wikimedians are suspicious of features development, given past and present development of bad software, growing ties with the problematic Wikia, and a growing belief that it is acceptable to experiment on users.
The Core Contest is a month-long competition among editors to improve Wikipedia's most important "core" articles—especially those that are in a relatively poor state. Core articles, such as Music, Computer, and Philosophy, tend to lie in the trunk of the tree of knowledge; by analogy, featured-and good-article processes generally attract more specialist topics out on the branches.
In the Utah Court of Appeals this week, the majority opinion in Fire Insurance Exchange v. Robert Allen Oltmanns and Brady Blackner relied on Wikipedia for the basic premise of their legal opinion, and included a concurring opinion devoted solely to the issue of citing Wikipedia in a legal opinion.
Thirteen featured articles were promoted this week, including pelicans, which are a genus of large water birds comprising the family Pelecanidae, characterised by a long beak and large throat-pouch. They have a fossil record dating back at least 30 million years and are most closely related to the Shoebill and Hammerkop. These fish-feeders have a patchy relationship with humans: the birds are sometimes persecuted and sometimes feature in mythology.
New embeddable scripting ("template replacement") language Lua received considerable scrutiny this week when it began its long road to widespread deployment, landing on the test2wiki test site on Wednesday (wikitech-l mailing list). ... the fourth in our series profiling participants in this year's Google Summer of Code (GSoC) programme.
This week, we spent some time with WikiProject Korea. Started in September 2006, WikiProject Korea covers the history and culture of the Korean people, including both countries that currently occupy the Korean peninsula. This task has proven difficult with North Koreans notably absent from the Wikipedia community due to tight control over access to external media. The project is home to over 16,000 pages, including 15 pieces of Featured material and 66 Good and A-class Articles.

Eric Persing

The reason for the nomination has been added. I would appreciate it if you would remove your Speedy keep or perhaps even change to a delete. At very least, it would be nice if you would change your rationale for keeping the article; the original one is no longer relevant. Jsharpminor (talk) 19:05, 21 August 2012 (UTC)Reply

Struck my initial speedy keep !vote at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Eric Persing. Regarding the second part of your comment above, please refrain from asking people to !vote in a particular manner, because this is against WP:CANVASS. Thanks!

Feedback requested at the Village Pump

Hi Northamerica. I have a proposal at the village pump about introducing a color scheme to the text editor so it is easier for newer editors to differentiate between different kinds of syntax, particularly references. I'd welcome your feedback at the village pump. I, Jethrobot drop me a line (note: not a bot!) 01:32, 27 August 2012 (UTC)Reply

Feedback requested at Talk:CARE_(relief_agency)

Hi! I have proposed a rewrite of CARE (relief agency) and I would appreciate your feedback as you were involved in writing the existing article. As you'll see on the CARE talk page, my proposed rewrite can be seen in my user sandbox: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Mtb_cdn/sandbox Thanks so much, and looking forward to your input!

A belated thanks!

Hi. I forgot to thank you for the barnstar you gave me back in February, I've improved my editing skills since then IMO. Here's a belated thanks! TBrandley 02:00, 28 August 2012 (UTC)Reply

Thank you!

I'm sorry that I did not thank you earlier for your approval of the AfC, Wison Group. I am glad you took a look at the article after a few other reviewers and helped me out with its submission! I appreciate your help. RossPKelley (talk) 17:55, 28 August 2012 (UTC)Reply
