Page Curation update

Hey all :). We've just deployed another set of features for Page Curation. They include flyouts from the icons in Special:NewPagesFeed, showing who reviewed an article and when, a listing of this in the "info" flyout, and a general re-jigging of the info flyout - we've also fixed the weird bug with page_titles_having_underscores_instead_of_spaces in messages sent to talkpages, and introduced CSD logging! As always, these features will need some work - but any feedback would be most welcome.

WikiIndaba and Wikipedian in Residence Notice

Dear Wikipelli

As a Wikipedian interested in African subjects and specifically Malawi, I would like you to be aware of the following two opportunities:

1. Wikimedia South Africa and WikiAfrica are organising an WikiIndaba for February 2014 – a continental meeting for Africa-based Wikipedians to get together, discuss challenges and drive the agenda for Misplaced Pages from Africa. If you support this initiative, then please sign up on this site: http://wikiindaba.net – we also want to hear what you want the Wiki Indaba to achieve. What are your expectations? What does it need to include? Who and what do you want to see happen at WikiIndaba? What is your area of interest? Languages? Data? Please share your ideas and thoughts on the Community Portal

2. WikiAfrica is looking for a Wikipedian in Residence from Malawi. This might be a position that you would consider. Or it could be the perfect opportunity for someone you know from Malawi, please spread the word! For more details, please look at this page: http://www.wikiafrica.net/wikipedian-in-residence-malawi

If you have any questions about either of the above, please contact isla on isla wikiafrica net : Isla Haddow (talk)

Gabucho45

Man, I've never gotten AIV-sniped before! I had a report ready to go on Gabucho45, clicked submit, and found out you'd already handled it, with refs and everything. Good work! Cyphoidbomb (talk) 20:44, 10 October 2013 (UTC)

Clemson University Football

Hi,

There is a mistake on the Clemson Football page. They were not named co-champions of the ACC Atlantic Division in 2012. This was a title Clemson University gave to itself, but one that the ACC does not recognize. I would please ask that this be changed as it is an insult to the Florida State University Seminole's program that actually did solely win the ACC Atlantic Division, and then went on to win the conference.

Thank you, Taylor — Preceding unsigned comment added by FSUNoles27TS (talk • contribs) 16:23, 16 October 2013 (UTC)

Hi Taylor... I really don't have any knowledge about Clemson or FSU or ACC football, so I'll leave the discussion on the championship to others. When I reverted an edit on the Clemson Tigers football page yesterday, it was more to remove personal and inconsiderate comments ("you nutjob", etc) that were included in the edits. I don't know if that was you that put those in or another user, but they were inappropriate, to say the least.

Disagreements on content happen all the time on Misplaced Pages and the project won't work unless there is discussion and collaboration on articles. A much more appropriate way to suggest the change would have been on the article's talk page. There, without calling names, etc, various points of view could have been stated and consensus reached. Hopefully, you will be able to discuss the matter with others on the talk page. cheers! Wikipelli 14:51, 17 October 2013 (UTC)

Disruptive editing

Why don't you answer the question that I posed? Your "knowledgeable" editors claim to want quality content—you even have the nerve to solicit donations—but are evidently unable to distinguish technically correct content from weakly argued quasi-nonsense. Further—as I noted the other day—opinions that differ from those of your deep-pocketed sponsors are speedily deleted. Case in point: the Cloud computing article. My list of disadvantages disappeared lickety-split. Who ever heard of a technology (I should say, a technological approach) that offers advantages only, but zero disadvantages? Any reader who bothers to think about the content will immediately pick up on Wikimedia Foundation's strong bias.
