==Farnham Park FC Page Deleted AGAIN!==
Hi Geni, We talked yesterday via the Wiki WebChat. You had un-deleted my page but it has been deleted yet again, this time by JimfBleak, with the reason being: "Fails Wikipedia:Notability_(sports)#Association_football by a long, long way". I finished editing the league & hope it's up-to-date. However, my Wiki article "Farnham Park FC" has been deleted yet again, yet you said yesterday that it met the criteria. Please help & respond ASAP. Thanks, Morgan  <small><span class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Morganmcl|Morganmcl]] ([[User talk:Morganmcl|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Morganmcl|contribs]]) 09:46, 19 September 2015 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

|-
|style="vertical-align: middle; border-top: 1px solid gray;" | I was truly humbled by the overwhelming community support for the recent proposal to place featured sounds on the main page. The proposal closed on Tuesday with 57 people in support and only 2 in opposition. {{pb}}
It should take a few weeks for everything to get coded and tested, and once that is done the community will be presented with a mock up to assess on aesthetic appeal. {{pb}}
Finally, I invite all of you to participate in the featured sounds process itself. Whether you're a performer, an uploader, or just come across a sound file you find top quality, and that meets the featured sound [[Wikipedia:Featured sound criteria|criteria]], you can nominate it at [[Wikipedia:Featured sound candidates]]. Featured sounds is also looking for people to help assess candidates (also at Wikipedia:Featured sound candidates.) {{pb}}

Thanks again for such a strong showing of support, and I hope to see you at featured sounds in the future.<br>

== Thomas A. Whidden ==

Dear Geni -

I am trying to add a bio of the Chairman of my company, North Sails. His name is Thomas A. Whidden and I see you deleted it yesterday citing copyright infringement. The PDF file you noted contained the same bio of Tom Whidden that I also wrote. I would also like to add the bios of several other notable people within my company and link them with events like the America's Cup and within categories liked sailing and sailmaking. What's the best way to go about this without my articles being deleted? This is the first time I have used Wikipedia to post articles/information.

Thank you!

I propose to add the following to the text of [[Silver Line (Washington Metro)]] and  [[Dulles International Airport (WMATA station)]]:

On April 6, 2011, the WMATA Board voted 9 to 4 to build an underground station 550 feet away from the terminal rather than an above-ground station 1,150 feet away from the terminal at an additional cost of $330 million.

<nowiki>==Reapportionment==
McDonnell has played a significant role in the reapportionment conducted in response to the 2010 census. McDonnell appointed his own bipartisan advisory commission on redistricting.<ref name=redist>{{cite news|title=VA. House GOP vents over veto|first-Anita|last=Kumar|date=April 24, 2011|page=C1|work=Washington Post}}</ref> In a special session of the General Assembly, the redistricting of both the House of Delegates and the State Senate were passed in single bill that was approved by the House with a 86 to 8 vote and the Senate with a 22 to 18 vote.<ref name=redist/>  The bill was developed without regard to the advisory commission's recommendations.<ref name=redist/> On April 15, 2011, McDonnell vetoed the reapportionment bill on the grounds that "the Senate plan is the kind of political gerrymandering that Virginians have ask that we leave in the past."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.governor.virginia.gov/docs/LetterToHODonHB5001.pdf|title=Letter to the House of Delegates on H.R. 5001|publisher=State of Virginia|accessdate=2011-04-24}}</ref> Although McDonnell had the power to amend the bill with his veto, he simply sent it back for the General Assembly to either over-ride the veto or adopt a different bill.  Because the Democrats lack the 2/3 majority necessary to over-ride the veto, the State Senate must adopt a new plan.  At first, Senate Majority Leader Richard L. Saslaw promised to merely readopt the vetoed redistricting map, but has now begun negotiations with the Governor's office regarding a new plan.<ref name=redist/>  Republican members of the House and Senate have criticised the Governor for overturning the timetable for approval of new districts prior to the 2011 elections.<ref name=redist/></nowiki>

An earlier version of this article triggered the block as it was too close to the Cornell press release/obit.  I have worked with User:Bilby to rephrase the offending materials.  He is apparently busy with other things now.  Would you have time to clear [[User:Racepacket/McDaniel]] so that I can move it into article space? Many thanks, [[User:Racepacket|Racepacket]] ([[User talk:Racepacket|talk]]) 22:56, 22 May 2011 (UTC)
:Thank you for the clearance. The subpage has two edits by [[User:Bilby]]. May I cut and paste it into article space, or is a history merge necessary?

You can seee the changes made from the baseline. Thanks, [[User:Racepacket|Racepacket]] ([[User talk:Racepacket|talk]]) 04:55, 3 June 2011 (UTC)

The following changes to [[Getty Research Institute]] have been negotiated with my GA reviewer. If they meet your approval, I will add them to article space.
Add a second paragraph to the lead:
<blockquote>With an estimated 1.3 million visitors per year, the trust operates one of the most visited museums in the United States.  The trust also provides grants and training to other museums and cultural institutions. The trust has a library, publications program and visiting scholar program. The trust's conservation program  is dedicated to advancing conservation practice through the creation and delivery of knowledge.  However, since 2008, the trust has scaled back the scope of its activities in response to financial challenges.</blockquote>
Add to the start of the last paragraph:
<blockquote>The trust was hurt by the economic downturn following 2007 and has reduced its annual budget by 14%.</blockquote>I would also add "down from $349 million in 2008." at the end of the last sentence. 

I would add at the end of the budget cutting paragraph, "<nowiki>For example, GRI co-produced the Avery Index to Architectural Periodicals with the [[Avery Architectural and Fine Arts Library]], but transferred that activity to [[Columbia University]] on July 1, 2009.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://library.columbia.edu/news/libraries/2009/20090701_averyindex.html|title=Avery Index Returns to Columbia University|publisher=Columbia University|date=July 1, 2009|accessdate=May 26, 2011}}</ref></nowiki>" [[User:Racepacket|Racepacket]] ([[User talk:Racepacket|talk]]) 08:56, 3 June 2011 (UTC)

Somebody suggested you might be able to help with this for the CC application submission, or maybe suggest someone else who can. We would like to use a couple of clips from the Jimmy Wales Bristol speech in January in our next submission to the CC, but that the whole thing is a) too long at 1hr 20 mins&  b) talks about some things we don't want to go into.  There is a 6 min version, on Commons I think, but this doesn't have some of what we want.

Is there anyone able to extract short clips from [http://connect.bristol.public-i.tv/site/player/pl_compact.php?a=50664&t=&m=flas%20h&l=en_GB this]. From 1.01.10 to the next question, then from 1.09.15 until the next one.  Just 2-3 mins each.  Then get them up on probably You Tube, so I can link to them in the letter?  I don't know the copyright status, so I think Commons is out.

<br /><code>(iv) include a disclosure of all prior and alternate accounts or confirmation that all such accounts have been declared to the Arbitration Committee;</code>

Dear Geni, thank you for nominating yourself as a candidate in the [[WP:ACE2011|2011 Arbitration Committee elections]]. On behalf of the coordinators, allow me to welcome you to the elections and make a few suggestions to help you get set up. By now, you ought to have written your [[Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2011/Candidates/Geni/Statement|nomination statement]]{{#ifexist:Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2011/Candidates/Geni/Statement|<!-- exists -->|&nbsp;([http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?action=edit&preload=Wikipedia:Arbitration+Committee+Elections+December+2011/Candidates/Preloader/Statement&editintro=&summary=&minor=&title=Wikipedia:Arbitration+Committee+Elections+December+2011/Candidates/{{urlencode:Geni}}/Statement create])}}, which should be no more than 400 words. Although there are no fixed guidelines for how to write a statement, note that many candidates treat this as an opportunity, in their own way, to put a cogent case as to why editors should vote for them—highlighting the strengths they would bring to the job, and convincing the community they would cope with the workload and responsibilities of being an arbitrator.

'''In order for your candidacy to be valid''', your nomination statement must also include a declaration of any alternate or former user accounts you have contributed under (or, in the case of privacy concerns, a declaration that you have disclosed them to the Arbitration Committee), and must express your willingness and ability to meet the Wikimedia Foundation's [[wmf:Access to nonpublic data policy|access to nonpublic data policy]].

You should at this point have your own [[Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2011/Candidates/Geni/Questions|questions subpage]]{{#ifexist:Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2011/Candidates/Geni/Questions|<!-- exists -->|&nbsp;([http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?action=edit&preload=Wikipedia:Arbitration+Committee+Elections+December+2011/Questions/General&editintro=&summary=&minor=&title=Wikipedia:Arbitration+Committee+Elections+December+2011/Candidates/{{urlencode:Geni}}/Questions create])}}; feel free to begin answering the questions as you please.

== MSU Interview ==

Dear Geni,


My name is Jonathan Obar [[user:Jaobar]], I'm a professor in the College of Communication Arts and Sciences at Michigan State University and a Teaching Fellow with the Wikimedia Foundation's Education Program. This semester I've been running a little experiment at MSU, a class where we teach students about becoming Wikipedia administrators. Not a lot is known about your community,  and our students (who are fascinated by wiki-culture by the way!) want to learn how you do what you do, and why you do it. A while back I proposed this idea (the class) to the community [[Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)/Archive_82#Learn_to_be_a_Wikipedia_Administrator_-_New_class_at_MSU|HERE]], were it was met mainly with positive feedback. Anyhow, I'd like my students to speak with a few administrators to get a sense of admin experiences, training, motivations, likes, dislikes, etc. We were wondering if you'd be interested in speaking with one of our students.


So a few things about the interviews:
* Interviews will last between 15 and 30 minutes.
* Interviews can be conducted over skype (preferred), IRC or email. (You choose the form of communication based upon your comfort level, time, etc.)
* All interviews will be completely anonymous, meaning that you (real name and/or pseudonym) will never be identified in any of our materials, unless you give the interviewer permission to do so.
* All interviews will be completely voluntary. You are under no obligation to say yes to an interview, and can say no and stop or leave the interview at any time.
* The entire interview process is being overseen by MSU's institutional review board (ethics review). This means that all questions have been approved by the university and all students have been trained how to conduct interviews ethically and properly.


Bottom line is that we really need your help, and would really appreciate the opportunity to speak with you. If interested, please send me an email at obar@msu.edu (to maintain anonymity) and I will add your name to my offline contact list. If you feel comfortable doing so, you can post your name [[User:Jaobar/Admins_to_Interview_List_1|HERE]] instead.

If you have questions or concerns at any time, feel free to email me at obar@msu.edu. I will be more than happy to speak with you.

Thanks in advance for your help. We have a lot to learn from you.

Sincerely,

Jonathan Obar --[[User:Jaobar|Jaobar]] ([[User talk:Jaobar|talk]]) 19:31, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

== of rings ==

Geni, I follow your reasoning[http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Ring_(jewellery)&curid=3551296&diff=480072742&oldid=480069251] but you cannot arbitrarily remove what you want just because it is not a finger ring. This article is '''[[Ring (jewellery)]]''', ''not'' "Finger-ring". Nowhere in that title is the word "finger", and just because it is in the lead does not make the whole article only about finger rings. You cannot remove ring jewellery just because you want. "Too meta" is no excuse to delete content. Also, you cannot keep communicating only by edit summaries. Come to the article's talk page and discuss- or any additional such changes will be viewed as [[edit warring]].—[[User:Djathinkimacowboy|<span style="color:#800080">'''Djathink'''</span>]][[User talk:Djathinkimacowboy|<span style="color:#FF00FF">'''imacowboy'''</span>]] 03:05, 4 March 2012 (UTC)

== Being Gentler to Newbies ==

Hello,
I am the [[outreach:Regional Ambassadors/Current|Wikipedia Regional Ambassador for New England]]I've noticed that you have been involved in administration of some of the pages that [[Wikipedia:United States Education Program/Courses/Writing As Communication Spring 2012|students]] from that domain have been creating and editing. I would like to politely ask that perhaps some gentler and more welcoming tact could be used, even if you must take action on their articles for policy non-compliance. The Professors and other Campus Ambassadors certainly do their best to explain all policies beforehand, but not every student - like most new editors - get's it right the first time. The Education Program has been very successful in creating lasting editors, between 5-10% of students go on to be willing editors in their own right after they finish the program, which is significantly higher than the editor/readership ratio. Please then help us to further our joint mission of increasing editorship by trying not not biting the newbies, but perhaps guiding them.

This night I controlled [[commons:Category:Paintings by Max Liebermann]] and so I found this one ([[commons:File:Liebermann - Ins Schwimmbad.JPG]]). Well, I don't think that this one is really problematic but it's sorted in [[commons:Category:Paintings_of_nude_boys]] and such a category name must not exist there, I mean you know why. And some of the related "paintings" should be deleted (speedily), but without much fuss (Streisand effect!). I think, you'll do the right.

So because neither of us nor other editors could find any such cases i'll be inclined to assume that there are none for such concentrations.

I'm sorry, but you're acting irrationally over the Free Territory of Trieste matter.
Either you can demonstrate that the Free Territory has been dissolved, or there's no point in going on.

As a matter of fact, both the 1954 memorandum and the Osimo treaty haven't. 
Therefore, unless new elements are shown, present tense remains appropriate (please, read the sources on the page!).

You're wheel-warring with me, Geni. And why did you even bother to block the e-mail? As far as I can see, he doesn't have e-mail enabled in the first place. I wasn't aware of that, but discovered it when I tried to e-mail him to say that I'd restored it. (See, I preferred to do that by e-mail since posting "openly" on KW's bedlam of a page means being moved around, recombined, re-headlined, deleted, collapsed, or any combination of them, and I don't fancy it.)

The block may not have worked (see later IP edits) and they have switched to {{IP|138.162.8.57}} admitting in this edit summary [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=User_talk:TParis&diff=prev&oldid=593927343] that "59" had been blocked.

:Yeah,and I undid the block of 59. If you take even a brief glance at their editing history it is easy to see who they ''were'' when they were using an account. They have made a choice to stop using an account and edit as an IP instead. Unless you have some evidence of actual abuse there was no reason to block. You also failed to post a block notice explaining the reasons for your actions. 

:These are pretty basic requirements for blocking, your gut feelings are not sufficient justification for a block and you are expected to leave some sort of block notice that gives a actual reason. That may not have been how things were in 2005 when you became a admin but it is how things are now. [[User:Beeblebrox|Beeblebrox]] ([[User talk:Beeblebrox|talk]]) 19:59, 4 February 2014 (UTC)

== Portsmouth meetup #2 ==

Hello 

Thank you for attending the first Portsmouth meetup last Sunday, it was nice to meet you again and have some good discussions, just a shame that I had to leave before the end.

After that success, I'm now turning my attention to organising the second meetup. An end of August date seemed to get support, and so I've provisionally scheduled it for Sunday the 31st, avoiding the bank holiday weekend the week before. It was suggested that people might like a visit to a museum in the morning before the pub in the afternoon. I suggest that the [[m:https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Meetup/Portsmouth/2|Portsmouth 2 talk page on Meta]] is the best place to organise it, so when you have time please feel free to head on over there and share your thoughts. Please also invite anyone in the area you know or think would like to get involved with organising or attending the museum visit and/or pub.

Hello. Just a heads-up that User Cjeongbis has started editing on the same pages as User Csbisbee.

It looks like the new account is used only as a way to make sure of security, in accordance with the user's claims that edits from his own account was not made by himself, but I'm letting you know since I'm not sure if it is considered evasion of a block or not.

== Need help regarding a user and his hobbyhorses ==

Geni - can you please look at [[Boring (earth)]] and [[Standard penetration test]] and talk to Yoshi about his edits? Yoshi is '''not''' the spammer you acted against earlier - he's adding material that is not specifically spam, but he really, really wants to put in far too much detail about his hobby-horse, which is the deficiencies of the Standard Penetration Test (it's a geotechnical test). I reformatted his initial edits to the SPT article, to keep one source's information about problems with the test from overwhelming the article, and he let it rest for a little while before coming back with some new material about a replacement test. I suggested that he should write a separate article about the new test, since really, it's worth about one sentence in the SPT article, but there's some useful info. Instead, he just puts stuff back in the article. 

He's also gone and added his earlier edits about the problems of the SPT (from before I rewrote them) into the earth boring article, where they're particularly irrelevant, as only a small minority of borings use that test, and the problems only apply to a minority of cases where the test might be used, if someone didn't know the (common knowledge) problems he describes. So in the SPT article, it's worth putting in something, and we seemed to have reached a consensus on what to put in, but in the Boring article, it's not worth mentioning.

I might also note that I am an expert on these subjects - I've been working professionally in the field for 20 years and have probably run over a thousand Standard Penetration Tests in my career. <span style="font-family:serif;font-size:120%">'''[[User:Argyriou|Argyriou]]''' [[User talk:Argyriou|(talk)]]</span> 02:57, 13 July 2015 (UTC)

== Dear, about boring(earth) and SPT ==

I was very willing to discuss with Argyriou. When he accused me of “undue effect.” I mailed him explaining and pointing out the trust worthy documents site with English material. But he is the one kept deleting PWRI link. I even made a note on “talk” section of SPT, but his act did not stop. 

Anyone who actually has read the PWRI article would know that Argyriou’s explaining about weak layer problem is quite different from what the PWRI site write. His is very very generalized end up missing real problems although his writing is very true as well; that is why I do not delete his writing. 
If you have read the PWRI article, I know you would agree with my summarization. The PWRI is Japanese office. I believe they are very careful with what they write. 

I know well about the civil industry, especially ground survey. We had many occasion to discuss with very notable professors even, have worked with them and written academic papers. I am very aware of this industry as well, pros and cons.

The boring machines have been around over 100 years. Although it has been mechanicalized and made improvements, fundamental improvement that would bring up the qualities of the machine has not been made. 

Also, due to the public works and the vast money that come along with the works, the civil industry often purposefully omits the defects of the technologies or crush the founders of the defects. And the employees of the industry cannot defy the executives because they need to earn for living, sometimes they end up getting their hands dirty. 
The article written by Mr. Zatuwa at PWSI is one of very few brave publications sending alarms to the public. 
In some cases the defects of the SPT and boring machine were the cause of the landslides and causalities, and with recent weather abnormalities what-seems-to-be-natural-disaster-but-actually-man-made-accidents-or-murder are becoming more evident, but none takes responsibility. And the source of the problems lies in the defects of the boring machine and SPT, but neither the industry, politicians, nor professors do not disclose this fact.

Dear Geni,
East Slavonic folks should be considered as a amount of nations, united geographically and historically (Serbia, Poland, Czech, Moldova, Yugoslavia, Russia, Ukraine, Belarus and others). This big crowd of peoples is called "'''Ethnic group'''". Jews as a '''nation''' (or a people) were formed in Mideast region. Maybe my English is not so fine but I see no reason to put Jews in Slavonic family.
You a have a civil right to come and live in Russian Federation, get Russian passport, you even can come here with your wife and bring a child here, but '''this won't make a child Russian''', you see?

I'm running a survey to identify the best way to notify Wikimedians about upcoming UK wikimeets (informal, in-person social meetings of Wikimedians), and to see if we can improve UK wikimeets to make them accessible and attractive to more editors and readers. All questions are optional, and it will take about 10 minutes to complete. Please fill it in at:
: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/JJMNVVD

|style="width:530px" |Hi there!  Did  you know that there will be [[meta:Meetup/Birmingham 4|a meetup in Birmingham]] on the 15th of November?

There hasn't been many meetups in Birmingham.  I will be passing through on the 15th of November, so I thought I would see who fancied meeting up, while I'm in the area.  I'm leaving this message on your talk page because you have previously expressed an interest in a meetup in Birmingham or Coventry.

==Template:Coins of England	==
Hello, [[User:Geni|Geni]], very good of you to ask me about this! My answer is that I wouldn't see the "Celtic" coins of Britain fitting in here, as there was no England before the Middle Ages. You may wish to create a new template. What you would call it isn't straightforward, but perhaps "Pre-Roman coins of Britain"? Please let me know if you would like any help.

== [[WP:ACE2015|ArbCom elections are now open!]] ==

Hi,<br>
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current [[WP:ACE2015|Arbitration Committee election]]. The [[WP:ARBCOM|Arbitration Committee]] is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia [[WP:RFAR|arbitration process]]. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose [[WP:BAN|site bans]], [[WP:TBAN|topic bans]], editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The [[WP:ARBPOL|arbitration policy]] describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to [[WP:ACE2015/C|review the candidates' statements]] and submit your choices on [[Special:SecurePoll/vote/398|the voting page]].

== Template:Celtic coins of Britain ==

Hi, [[User:Geni|Geni]], and thanks for your note. It's a start, and no doubt will evolve and also lead you or someone else into creating some of the missing pages. For what it's worth, I'd have called the template "Coins of pre-Roman Britain", although of course "Celtic" is commonly used. It doesn't comply with WP naming policy to use capital letters, so your [[Thurrock potin]] seems better named than [[Gallo-Belgic Stater]]. That, of course, was a coin "of Britain" in the sense that it was used here. [[Minim (coin)]] will be a general page, like [[stater]]. [[Silver stater]] and [[Bronze stater]] (if needed, and I suppose they will be) also aren't specifically coins of Britain. I hope this helps.

I wanted to follow-up on an message I sent you in September regarding the need for you to sign a [[m:Confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information|confidentiality agreement]] by {{formatnum:31}} {{int:December}} {{formatnum:2015|NOSEP}} in order to maintain your access from Wikimedia to nonpublic information, and specifically to the OTRS system.

As you may know, the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees approved a new [[m:Access to nonpublic information policy|"Access to nonpublic information policy"]] on {{formatnum:25}} {{int:April}} {{formatnum:2014|NOSEP}} after a community consultation. The former policy has remained in place until the new policy could be implemented. That implementation work is now being done, and we are transitioning to the new policy.

An important part of that transition is helping volunteers like you sign the [[m:Confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information|required confidentiality agreement]]. All Wikimedia volunteers with access to nonpublic information are required to sign this new agreement, and we have prepared some documentation to help you do so.

The Wikimedia Foundation is requiring that anyone with access to nonpublic information sign the new confidentiality agreement by {{formatnum:31}} {{int:December}} {{formatnum:2015|NOSEP}} to retain their access. You are receiving this message because you have access to nonpublic information by way of the OTRS system and are required to sign the confidentiality agreement under the new policy. If you do not sign the new confidentiality agreement by {{formatnum:31}} {{int:December}} {{formatnum:2015|NOSEP}}, you will lose your OTRS access.

Signing the confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information is conducted and tracked using Legalpad on Phabricator. We have prepared a guide on Meta-Wiki to help you create your Phabricator account and sign the new agreement: [[m:Confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information/How to sign|Confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information/How to sign]]

If you have any questions or experience any problems while signing the new agreement, please [[m:Talk:Confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information/How to sign|visit this talk page]] or email me (gvarnum[[File:At_sign.svg|17px|@|link=]]wikimedia.org).
