Invitation to participate in a research

Hello,

The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Wikipedia, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this anonymous survey.

You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.

The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement .

Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.

Kind Regards,

WMF Research Team

-However, I have a more important question for you. There's no mention of one of the major updates to the game. I don't know if you play the game or not, but it's an item called the [http://runescape.wikia.com/wiki/Bond bond]. One item? That's not major! Well, the item was introduced to create a means of purchasing in game money with real world currency. It's a complete 180 from their original stances, so I think it's ground breaking enough to add to the article. Do you agree? If so, would I put it under the game updates section or the rules and cheating section (as it is strongly related to third party goldfarming).

-:I reverted mainly because it's only players that use RS, while most people outside it (including Jagex themselves) use ''RuneScape''. Since all our sources spell out the full name there's no written evidence that RS is a really common abbreviation. Compare this to the [[Jagex]] article - their full name is ''Jagex Game Studios'' but everyone calls them Jagex so that can be noted as an abbreviation.

[[User:The Mol Man|mol]][[User talk:The Mol Man|uɐɯ]] 14:44, 15 February 2014 (UTC)

-::::Oh. Didn't you see I added that there? I was barely above borderline in adding that bit, actually. I figured it was valid enough considering the rest of the paragraph was about player involvement in the combat changes. To further clarify, the polls were actually originally (and still are) mostly pertaining to live game content, focusing only on the combat improvements a little. That link (which is the first source about the polls) actually predates the two links that follow it (which are just 2 examples for the polls' involvement in the combat rework).

-:<small>(Moved to the bottom to keep everything in order.)</small> First, I did nothing to the image except remove the <tt>thumb<tt> attribute, because thumbnails won't work properly in infoboxes. If you want to add an image with a caption, you use something like this:
-<pre>
+</div>
+</div>
-{{Infobox person

+== Invitation to participate in a research ==
-:Now for your second question. What you describe is called an [[Wikipedia:Edit conflict|edit conflict]] and they are very annoying. If you need time to make an edit, place {{tl|in use}} at the top of the article before you start so other editors know the page is likely to be busy.
-:If an edit conflict does happen, you'll get a page with two boxes - the top box contains the current page, and the bottom box has the page you were working on. Copy anything you want to save from the bottom box to the top one, then click "Save page" to finish.

+Hello,
-== Maps in info boxes ==
+The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Wikipedia, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this '''[https://wikimediafoundation.limesurvey.net/962595?lang=en anonymous survey]'''.
-I'm having trouble getting this right. I've put in GPS coordinates, and city name, et. not sure what I'm doing wrong.
-Thanks.

-:I presume this is for [[B&O Railroad Headquarters Building]]? If so, I managed to get it working [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=B%26O_Railroad_Headquarters_Building&diff=prev&oldid=595932492 here], by changing the coordinate parameters to match those at {{tl|infobox building}}.

-== RuneScape gameguide ==
-We can't use the wiki to cite, but I found [http://www.runescape.com/a=4/gameguide.ws a small number of non-wiki game guide articles] on the official site. It's really not much, but we can probably update some sources/nit pick these for important info. I'm not sure how much of the latter we could do though... Just thought I'd let ya know (assuming you didn't already). [[User:The Mol Man|mol]][[User talk:The Mol Man|uɐɯ]] 14:30, 18 February 2014 (UTC)
-:I knew of them, though the page you linked to is a little out of date (there are over 200M accounts, not 175M.) Other than that, I don't see an issue with using them as sources. [[User:1ForTheMoney|1ForTheMoney]] ([[User talk:1ForTheMoney#top|talk]]) 15:16, 18 February 2014 (UTC)

+Kind Regards,
-Hi, I signed in to Wikipedia to do some work on a friends page that someone else created because that is up for deletion. While I was here I uploaded the pictures on my son's page. Thank you for fixing his profile picture. I couldn't figure out how to do it. I also uploaded the other pictures and tried to place them in the sections they went to similar to Andy Dalton's page. Are you able to tell me how to do that or can you do it for me? Thank you so much!!! [[User:Mmcard59|Mmcard59]] ([[User talk:Mmcard59|talk]]) 01:24, 27 February 2014 (UTC)
-:It happens because the infobox is longer than the actual article and you've aligned all the images on the right, so the infobox pushes them down. The best way round it is to put the images in a [[Wikipedia:Picture tutorial#Galleries|gallery]], like [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Tank_Carder&diff=597350149&oldid=597238435 this].
-:I should also note that all the images could be deleted since they don't have enough copyright information. You need to fix that yourself. [[User:1ForTheMoney|1ForTheMoney]] ([[User talk:1ForTheMoney#top|talk]]) 09:38, 27 February 2014 (UTC)

Can you take a look at it and tell me what I can do to make it better so that it won't delete? He has been an icon for many many years and should have a wiki page. Thanks so much!

+Hello,
-== Mark Ogilvie on [[Jagex]] Article ==
+I recently invited you to take a survey about administration on Wikipedia. If you haven’t yet had a chance, there is still time to participate– we’d truly appreciate your feedback. The survey is anonymous and should take about 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Research:Wikipedia Administrator Recruitment, Retention, and Attrition|Meta page]] and view its [[wmf:Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Administrator Experiences 2024 Survey Privacy Statement|privacy statement]].
-You reverted my edit here - https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Jagex&diff=602698435&oldid=602694626
-I put that Mark Ogilvie is the Design Director and Company Representative, and you reverted it because it didn't have a source. I actually Asked Mark Ogilvie in-game in RuneScape what his job is, and he said Design Director and Company Representative. I just didn't screenshot what he said, because at the time I didn't expect to be adding it to Wikipedia. But he said it, honest. I'm not lying. [[User:TimeSwimmer|TimeSwimmer]] ([[User talk:TimeSwimmer|talk]]) 11:18, 4 April 2014 (UTC)
-:I can believe that, but "I asked him" is not a reliable source according to [[WP:RS|Wikipedia policy]]. It needs to be something you can link to, like a list of staff credits or a news article (but not a forum post.)

-== The Joe Allen edit I made today ==
+Kind Regards,
-Hi, I don't know if this is the place to do this, but I wanted to let you know that I know I messed up with the edit I made today. I was looking back through my account and noticed I'd edited his page before, and when I went back to see my edit, I didn't realise the entire page was from the day I edited it. I only updated his Liverpool appearances, and saved the page not noticing that it would have deleted all the edits since. I then tried to undo my edit, but for some reason it wouldn't let me! Anyway, thanks for sorting that out. I've been using Wikipedia for years but still have such a small grasp on editing it. -Matt 20:39, 4 April 2014 (UTC)  <small><span class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Acidulantes|Acidulantes]] ([[User talk:Acidulantes|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Acidulantes|contribs]]) </span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
-:Yes, I got the impression you'd taken it back to a much older version of the article, which struck me as weird considering your last edit was nearly 2 years ago. As for why you couldn't undo your edit, it's because the article is under [[WP:PCPP|pending changes protection]] - edits (including reversions) have to be approved by a [[Wikipedia:User access levels#Reviewer|reviewer]] before they actually appear in the article. It's used when you want to prevent vandalism, but still allow anonymous users to edit. [[User:1ForTheMoney|1ForTheMoney]] ([[User talk:1ForTheMoney#top|talk]]) 21:04, 4 April 2014 (UTC)
