| I'm new to posting and see that you have experience, so I was wondering how strict the OR policy was. In the fiscal conservatism article for instance, I made a comparison between Bush's total additional debt and all previous debt. The data is on the site I cited, but the math (simple addition and greater than less than comparison) was added by me. Is this considered OR? please erase if this is inappropriate of me to ask here.--] (]) 20:08, 22 August 2012 (UTC) | |||
| {{center|{{big|Please join us in San Francisco!}}}} | |||
| :Usually simple math isn't a problem. Given the content you posted, probably the best source to find would be some sort of news article, possibly an opinion piece, which discussed Bush's fiscal policies in terms of "fiscal conservatism". This may be an easy thing to find, but there are some caveats about what sources may be used. Generally anything from the mainstream media (the New York Times, Washington Post, Fox News, ABC News, etc) is a good place to look for such sources. Also I would suggest reviewing ], ], and ]. They will say roughly the same thing I said with a lot more words and more details. ] (]) 20:20, 22 August 2012 (UTC) | |||

| == '''The Olive Branch''': A Dispute Resolution Newsletter (Issue #1) == | |||
| The last Wednesday evening of every month, wiki enthusiasts in the San Francisco Bay Area will gather to collaborate, mingle, and learn about new projects and ideas. We have two brief presentations lined up for our kickoff event in downtown San Francisco: | |||
| Welcome to the first edition of ''The Olive Branch''. This will be a place to semi-regularly update editors active in ] (DR) about some of the most important issues, advances, and challenges in the area. You were delivered this update because you are ], but if you would prefer not to receive any future mailing, just add your name to ]. | |||
| ] | |||
| In this issue: | |||
| * '''Background''': A brief overview of the DR ecosystem. | |||
| * '''Research''': The most recent DR data | |||
| * '''Survey results''': Highlights from Steven Zhang's April 2012 survey | |||
| * '''Activity analysis''': Where DR happened, broken down by the top DR forums | |||
| * '''DR Noticeboard comparison''': How the newest DR forum has progressed between May and August | |||
| * '''Discussion update''': Checking up on the Wikiquette Assistance close debate | |||
| * '''Proposal''': It's time to close the ]. Agree or disagree? | |||
| <big><center>]</center></big> | |||
| * The Nueva Upper School recently hosted the first ever high school Misplaced Pages edit-a-thon. We will hear what interests them about Misplaced Pages, what they have learned so far, and what they hope to achieve. | |||
| --''The Olive Branch'' 18:49, 4 September 2012 (UTC) | |||
| * Photojournalist Kris Schreier Lyseggen, author of ''The Women of San Quentin: The Soul Murder of Transgender Women in Male Prisons,'' will tell us about her work and how she researched the topic. | |||
| <!-- EdwardsBot 0345 --> | |||
| We allow time for informal conversation and working on articles. Newcomers and experienced wiki users are encouraged to attend. We will have beverages and light snacks. | |||
| == Gates == | |||
| '''''Please note: You must , and bring a photo ID that matches your registration name.''''' The building policy is strict on this point. | |||
| Saying that we're going by Misplaced Pages's definitions is a violation of ] as well as an ] violation, since Misplaced Pages isn't a reliable source. If you look at all three of my edits (except the first one, all were made after your comment at my talk), I did my best to replace the current wording with a paraphrase of the policies that were explicitly mentioned beforehand. I've made an allusion to ] for the current titles of the -gateless articles and a WP:RS allusion for the inclusion of articles here in the first place. Going by the wording to which I've now changed it, all scandals mentioned in the article either get -gate in "scholarly sources" or get other names in "scholarly sources": either way, they have to have scholarly sources, so they pass WP:N and would deserve to appear here even with the pre-Nyttend version of the intro. ] (]) 01:00, 5 September 2012 (UTC) | |||

| I see the article ] has been tagged for expert review since October 2012. As part of a process of drafting a revision of that article in ], I am contacting all Wikipedians who have edited that article since early 2009 for whom I can find a user talk page. | |||
| ] | |||
| I have read all the diffs of all the edits committed to the article since the beginning of 2009 (since before I started editing Misplaced Pages). I see the great majority of edits over that span have been vandalism (often by I.P. editors, presumably teenagers, inserting the names of their classmates in charts of IQ classifications) and reversions of vandalism (sometimes automatically by ClueBot). Just a few editors have referred to and cited published ] on the topic of IQ classification. It is dismaying to see that the number of reliable sources cited in the article has actually declined over the last few years. To help the process of finding reliable sources for articles on psychology and related topics, I have been compiling a ] since I became a Wikipedian in 2010, and I invite you to make use of those sources as you revise articles on Misplaced Pages and to suggest further sources for the source on the talk pages of the source list and its subpages. Because the ] article has been tagged as needing expert attention for more than half a year, I have opened ] about how to fix the article, and I welcome you to join the discussion. The draft I have in ] shows my current thinking about a reader-friendly, well sourced way to update and improve the article. I invite your comments and especially your suggestions of reliable sources as the updating process proceeds. -- ] (], ]) 20:45, 28 May 2013 (UTC) | |||

Generally, dispute resolution volunteers are given a lot of leeway when it comes to things like moving the current discussion to the bottom, collapsing or even (in severe cases and after several warnings) deleting comments or asking someone to leave if they violate our guidelines.

| On the the hand, we try to discourage participants from doing that, because emotions are often running high and other participants can be quite touchy.

| :From this 3RR complaint it looks like you are trying to repeatedly change the text of the RfC. It is expected that the wording of any RfC will have consensus. In extreme cases there has even been an RfC to agree on how to word the RfC. If you disagree with how the person who opened the RfC chose to word it, you should try to gain consensus on the article talk page to get it changed. There is a risk that an admin will choose to block you for edit warring if you don't respond in the AN3 report and agree to accept consensus. I see you've continued to on 24 June. Thank you, ] (]) 17:19, 24 June 2013 (UTC) | |||
| ::Moving my comments from one location not in the RfC, to another location not in the RfC is not a revert.

The last Wednesday evening of every month, wiki enthusiasts in the San Francisco Bay Area will gather to collaborate, mingle, and learn about new projects and ideas. We have two brief presentations lined up for our kickoff event in downtown San Francisco:
- The Nueva Upper School recently hosted the first ever high school Misplaced Pages edit-a-thon. We will hear what interests them about Misplaced Pages, what they have learned so far, and what they hope to achieve.
- Photojournalist Kris Schreier Lyseggen, author of The Women of San Quentin: The Soul Murder of Transgender Women in Male Prisons, will tell us about her work and how she researched the topic.
We allow time for informal conversation and working on articles. Newcomers and experienced wiki users are encouraged to attend. We will have beverages and light snacks.
Please note: You must register here, and bring a photo ID that matches your registration name. The building policy is strict on this point.

Invitation to the Bay Area WikiSalon series, Wednesday, August 31
Hi folks,
We would like to invite you to this month's Bay Area WikiSalon. The last Wednesday evening of every month, wiki enthusiasts gather to collaborate, mingle, and learn about new projects and ideas.
We make sure to allow time for informal conversation and working on articles. Newcomers and experienced wiki users are encouraged to attend. Free Wi-Fi is available so bring your editing devices. We will have beverages and light snacks. We will also have a brief presentation for your education and possible enjoyment:
- Former EFF intern Marta Belcher will discuss crowdsourcing her Stanford Law School graduation speech using a wiki. The "WikiSpeech" was the subject of prominent national media attention in 2015, and more than half of her classmates contributed to writing and editing the commencement address via a wiki.
Please note: You should register here, and bring a photo ID that matches your registration name. The building policy is strict on the I.D. part. This also helps us figure out how much food and drink to bring in! Feel free to stop by even if only to say a quick hello, but you might have to give us a last minute call if you forget to RSVP. Also, don't be shy about hitting us up if you have thoughts on speakers or wiki-related activities.

Invitation to the Bay Area WikiSalon series, Wednesday, September 28
Hi folks,
We would like to invite you to this month's Bay Area WikiSalon. The last Wednesday evening of every month, Misplaced Pages and Wikimedia enthusiasts gather to collaborate, mingle, and learn about new projects and ideas.
We will have no formal agenda to allow people to freely share ideas and perhaps learn about Misplaced Pages through hands-on editing. Co-organizer Ben Creasy will be looking at election-related articles to enhance the information available in the upcoming November elections.
Co-organizer Stephen LaPorte has suggested doing an upload-a-thon for Wiki Loves Monuments. Niki, the California coordinator for WLM will be in attendance. WLM is an annual event and the official dealine is Friday the 30th for submissions to count towards awards.
Or, you can grab a couch, a booth, or a stool and do your own thing.
Please note: You should register here, and bring a photo ID that matches your registration name. The building policy is strict on the I.D. part. This also helps us figure out how much food and drink to bring in! Feel free to stop by even if only to say a quick hello, but you might have to give us a last minute call if you forget to RSVP. Also, don't be shy about hitting us up if you have thoughts on future speakers or wiki-related activities.
For further details, please see: Misplaced Pages:Bay Area WikiSalon, September 2016. Mark your calendars now for the 3rd Wednesday in October, the 26th, when we will have a brief presentation.

Hi!
Wikimania is happening and hopefully you're enjoying the sessions. While it's fairly last minute, you're warmly invited to participate in the local Wikimania-themed meetup in the Wikimedia Foundation office this Friday (tomorrow!). You will have to register in advance, but we would love to see more people from the WikiSalon community participate! For more information and registration, please check out meta:Wikimania 2022/San Francisco Meetup.
The event will involve hacking, teaching, learning, and celebrating and we'll have snacks. We will have the opportunity to watch live sessions at Wikimania together in the afternoon. The rest of the day we'll have opportunity to participate in the hackathon, and we may have some on-demand workshops/learning sessions.
In case we run out of space, it's first-come-first-serve so let us know soon! Hope to see you there.
