Help Project newsletter : Issue 6

Issue VI - April 2013 |

Open Help Conference The Open Help Conference will be taking place June 15-19 in Cincinnati Ohio, USA. The conference includes two days of presentations and open discussions, followed by team "sprints" - collaborative efforts to write and improve documentation. It has been suggested to send a team from Misplaced Pages/Wikimedia: to share our own knowledge about help, learn from others in the open source community working on similar problems, and to carry out a sprint to improve some aspect of Misplaced Pages's help. There may be support available for volunteers to attend from the Participation Support program (and your editor is certainly hoping to be there!) Please join the discussion in Meta's IdeaLab if you're interested, and/or have suggestions about what we could work on. |

Awaiting Wiki Feedback
Hello,
Still awaiting assistance with our issue.

- Apparently User:CorporateM reviewed your request and sent an e-mail, but did not receive a reply (see Talk:BETDAQ. Please leave a message for them at User talk:CorporateM.--ukexpat (talk) 14:37, 30 May 2013 (UTC)
- My email is WikiCorporateMinion@gmail.com, but I don't check it that often, so it's best to leave a note on my Talk page. CorporateM (Talk) 15:07, 30 May 2013 (UTC)
Suggestion
Hello again. I saw your post here . My experience is that response time at that message board can be slow so I wanted to suggest that you make the same post at Misplaced Pages:Media copyright questions. Editors there are usually right on top of things picture-wise and I think the problem that you are dealing with will be taken care of ASAP. Cheers. MarnetteD | Talk 14:36, 30 May 2013 (UTC)
- It's not really a copyright problem though, more like mistaken identity.--ukexpat (talk) 14:40, 30 May 2013 (UTC)
- You are right and my memory is faulty (maybe Basil Fawlty.) A couple months ago we had the same picture of a person from the 1800's Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Biography#photo.3F Jack Whicher or William Saville-Kent) being used in two different articles. I moved it from the Wikiproject Biography page (which also has a slow response time) to the help desk and things got fixed within a day. So you might want to try there instead. Apologies for the mixup. MarnetteD | Talk 14:52, 30 May 2013 (UTC)
Gender selection
Gender selection is an in office procedure for men. They manipulate or remove the x or y chromosome from a man. The x or y chromosome from men is what determines gender. Gena medici etherton 16:22, 30 May 2013 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gena medici etherton (talk • contribs)

New users
Hello, i was wondering if you could help me on this: Is there any way where one can see users that recently had set up accounts in Misplaced Pages? Miss Bono (zootalk) 19:13, 31 May 2013 (UTC)
- Take a look at the user creation log.--ukexpat (talk) 19:43, 31 May 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks! Miss Bono (zootalk) 20:11, 31 May 2013 (UTC)
- What about if I want to see the contributions or how many times an IP has edited? Miss Bono (zootalk) 20:21, 31 May 2013 (UTC)
- The easiest way to do that is to install the Navigation Popups gadget (Preferences --> Gadgets). Then when you hover your mouse pointer over user name, it will show you the date the user account was created and the number of edits it has made, along with other options.--ukexpat (talk) 20:26, 31 May 2013 (UTC)

Publishers Clearing House
Hi Ubexpat. I don't know if you were going to look at the PCH article as well, but I wanted to let you know I pinged Dennis Brown and he said he would take a look at it tomorrow. Because the article has a history of misbehavior, some defensiveness is expected and reasonable. I would prefer to get impartial editors involved than find myself arguing about the content personally. However, you're still welcome to chime in.
Cheers. CorporateM (Talk) 19:45, 31 May 2013 (UTC)

Follow-Up
Thanks Mike for your insight.
I didn't write my own wiki page and I fully understand the purpose and function of Misplaced Pages. The link I provided to my deleted page indicates that my page was created by other wiki users.
With that in mind, how should I proceed?
The deletion was made on a statement that is bias and inaccurate. The person who deleted the page has a great knowledge of music, but specifically not the kind that I write. He even attests to this on his personal wiki page! It's like having a Classical musicologist weigh in on heavy metal. So I question the validity of his subjective reason for its deletion. A google search of my name can establish credibility through the accolades and achievements I've been blessed to attain in my career. Of course there were a handful of credible journal entries, billboard links and so on attached to the wiki page on me.
Thanks for your help -

Orphaned non-free media (File:Agecroftlogo.png)
Thanks for uploading File:Agecroftlogo.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Misplaced Pages under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Misplaced Pages. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Misplaced Pages (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Misplaced Pages page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 04:24, 4 June 2013 (UTC)
