== Add a Fact survey and thank you ==
==Welcome!==


Thank you for testing out the [[:en:User:DErenrich-WMF/Add A Fact Experiment|Add A Fact browser extension]]! This extension was developed as an experiment by the [[:m:Future Audiences|Future Audiences team]] at the Wikimedia Foundation to learn about new ways of contributing to Wikipedia from outside of our website/apps.
Hello {{PAGENAME}}, and [[Wikipedia:Welcome, newcomers|welcome]] to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:


We are planning to wrap up this experiment '''this December''', sunsetting the extension and publishing our findings on-wiki. We’d like to invite you to take part in an exit survey to tell us more about your experience of trying out the extension, and to share any ideas you have about how to support new ways of contributing to Wikipedia. The survey is anonymous (see the survey [[:foundation:Legal:Add-A-Fact Survey Privacy Statement|privacy statement]]) and should take about 10–15 minutes to complete.

== NFB WW2 propaganda films ==

Well, I meant that NFB allows for people to view (and download?) complete films, over 600 in fact, through Cineroute on their website, but only if one joins the NFB Film Club, and one can only join that if one is Canadian. I was wondering if, if t is legal of course, that you could download one of their WW2 vids from them and possibly e-mail it to myself?
I don't want to sell it or anything, just curious what a full length Canadian WW2 film would be like, since I've seen so many of the other countries. The NFB site itself only has clips.--[[User:Dudeman5685|Dudeman5685]] 21:03, 6 January 2007 (UTC)


Well thanks anyway for letting me know. I'll be satisfied with the clips at NFB Cineroute. I'm just always trying to get a larger perspective on history. And, BTW, there are a few of the NFB war titles availble on VHS for Intnl. Historic Films, a private company.--[[User:Dudeman5685|Dudeman5685]] 02:17, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
==''7 Wise Dwarfs'', ''ACK ACK'' and ''ATS'' in the Canadian section==
Hi again. I found no mention of ''7 Wise Dwarfs'', ''ACK ACK'', nor ''ATS'' in the [http://www.nfb.ca/trouverunfilm/?v=h&lg=en NFB's online collection]. Are you sure about them? [[User:Shawn in Montreal|Shawn in Montreal]] 15:41, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
:I beleive they are animated films made in conjunction with Walt Disney. In fact I've seen ''7 Wise Dwarfs'' on the Disney WWII DVD. There was also a Canadian artillery training film on the same collection, which might be one of the others your refering too.

:You're right however. I've already set a princle that this list excludes animation. (I'm planning on making yet another page "Cartoons of World War II" when I'm done with this. Or satisfactorilly done with this.--[[User:Dudeman5685|Dudeman5685]] 23:56, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

:As for ACK ACK, it was the english title for ''Défense contre avions'' directed by [[Peter Baylis]] in 1941, according to [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0255131/ |IMDB]. Not sure yet how "ATS" got in there, but I'll look.--[[User:Dudeman5685|Dudeman5685]] 00:03, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

:ATS, which stood for Auxiliary Territorial Service, has a page on the NFB website, here, but I looked closer and the producer listed is the UK Ministry of Information, so thats probably why its not in the other list. I'll put in it the british section.--[[User:Dudeman5685|Dudeman5685]] 04:09, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

== re: vandalism ==

Since the last user_talk warning he got was from a long time ago, I gave him a starter-warning and thats that. He hasn't vandalized other pages in a while. It is possible it is also a different user using an IP that changes dynamically depending on who the ISP gives it to. This is why after about 48 hours since the last vandalism we give the starter-warning again. Sorry I can't do anything more.

== Re: Of Mice and Men vandal ==

Thanks for catching that one. I usually leave a tab open and refresh vandal IP's contributions occasionally for about 15 minutes, to know if they make any more edits or whether they've gone away; I must have just missed this one. I should have caught it later next time I checked my own contributions list for missing '''(top)''' marks, but thanks for getting it earlier :) --[[User:Firien|Firi]]<font color="green">[[User:Firien/Esperanza|e]]</font>[[User:Firien|n]] [[User_talk:Firien|§]] 10:41, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
*PS I find it unlikely that they'll be blocked quite yet; there usually needs to be an escalation of warnings from <nowiki>{{test1}} through {{test5}}</nowiki> skipping stages as appropriate. There should probably be a final warning (test5 or something similar) before blocking; 4 vandal edits in a row is tiresome, but they were pretty minor so probably not technically worth a full block yet. If it escalates, then [[WP:VIP]] is the next port of call, to alert an admin about it. --[[User:Firien|Firi]]<font color="green">[[User:Firien/Esperanza|e]]</font>[[User:Firien|n]] [[User_talk:Firien|§]] 10:46, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

== User Warnings ==
Hi, I spotted your message on [[WP:AIAV]], I just wanted to tell you that you don't need to be an admin to issue a warning on a user talk page. I personally have put thousands of warnings without being an administrator myself ;) If you want to learn more about our most used templates, you can check [[Template:TestTemplates]]. Happy Editing! -- [[User:Lucasbfr|lucasbfr]] <sup>[[User talk:Lucasbfr|<font color="darkblue">talk</font>]]</sup> 22:14, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

== SharedIP tag ==

Hi Shawn. I tend to evaluate whether to use the {{[[Template:sharedIP|sharedIP]]}} tag on a case by case basis. If, after looking up the IP, it's clear that it is probably being used by multiple users or is registered to a school or corporation, I typically place the tag. Not only does it (hopefully) discourage further vandalism, but it also serves as a message to an innocent editor who just so happens to use the same IP in the future that vandalism warnings may not be directed at them. · '''<font color="#709070">[[User:Jersyko|j e r s y k o]]</font>''' ''<font color="#007BA7" size="1">[[User talk:Jersyko|talk]]</font>'' · 18:43, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

:In re "subst", [[Wikipedia:Template substitution]] is helpful. Note that there are some templates that you should not use "subst" with and there are some you always use "subst" with. The template page itself should tell you, however. I probably should not have used subst with the sharedIP template, but it's not forbidden either. · '''<font color="#709070">[[User:Jersyko|j e r s y k o]]</font>''' ''<font color="#007BA7" size="1">[[User talk:Jersyko|talk]]</font>'' · 20:13, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

== [[John Feeney]] ==

Hi Shawn,

This article looks good to me. --[[User:YUL89YYZ|YUL89YYZ]] 18:14, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

== Best Animated Short ==

Hmm, I was sure they were different awards.

Merge and create a redirect?

== WikiCast ==

Hello - It's me again

I noted from your webpage that you work in the film industry.

I figured you might thus be interested in WikiCast an attempt
to get 'free' content programmes made. The WikiCast project has a wiki at http://www.bitshuffle.org/wikicast/Main_Page

Thanks.

== List(s) of winners ==

Hi Shawn, [[Montreal World Film Festival]] has no lists of winners. Not all awards in the [[List of film awards]], but the Montreal scene might be of interest to develop and you seem to be right in the middle of it. So I dropped you this note just in case.

Add a Fact survey and thank you

[edit]

Thank you for testing out the Add A Fact browser extension! This extension was developed as an experiment by the Future Audiences team at the Wikimedia Foundation to learn about new ways of contributing to Wikipedia from outside of our website/apps.

We are planning to wrap up this experiment this December, sunsetting the extension and publishing our findings on-wiki. We’d like to invite you to take part in an exit survey to tell us more about your experience of trying out the extension, and to share any ideas you have about how to support new ways of contributing to Wikipedia. The survey is anonymous (see the survey privacy statement) and should take about 10–15 minutes to complete.

You can take the Goole Forms survey here.

Kind regards, MPinchuk (WMF)
