"Assume bad faith"

Rubicon, I apologize for my rough-and-ready approach to the problem, but that is definitely not how it works over at Runescape.wikia.com. I will try to keep my habits from over there in check when posting here in any future occasion.

Have you weighed your Hunter Gear today? :) --TheLastWordSword (talk) 16:07, 26 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

knock-knock

This was a mistake, right? Choyoołʼįįhí:Seb az86556 ^{> haneʼ} 04:49, 27 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yup. Meant to revert this; Huggle seems to have missed a rev. Sorry about the confusion! --rubicon | talk 04:52, 27 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Remember this "incident" next time you hear about Native Americans insisting on the survival of the languages. It might indeed sound "juvenile" in English. Not so in Navajo. Choyoołʼįįhí:Seb az86556 ^{> haneʼ} 05:17, 27 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

:sigh:

Just realized that I may have broken the 3RR with Park Vista Community High School (though vandalism *was* involved); going to go and watch Twin Peaks now. rubicon | talk 00:10, 10 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being minor in the usual way.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. With the script in place, you can continue with this functionality indefinitely (its use is governed by WP:MINOR). If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 18:44, 15 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

psychological or emotional neglect

Hi Rubicon,

I have read some of the research literature on psychological or emotional neglect and I find the Wikipedia articles, particularly "Neglect" and "Child neglect" lacking. Please take a look at the discussion pages for those two articles and see if you can improve the articles. It would be greatly appreciated.

GOCE September 2012 drive wrap-up

Guild of Copy Editors September 2012 backlog elimination drive wrap-up

Participation: Out of 41 people who signed up this drive, 28 copy-edited at least one article. Thanks to all who participated! Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here.

Progress report: We achieved our primary goal of clearing July, August, September and October 2011 from the backlog. This means that, for the first time since the drives began, the backlog is less than a year. At least 677 tagged articles were copy edited, although 365 new ones were added during the month. The total backlog at the end of the month was 2341 articles, down from 8323 when we started out over two years ago. We completed all 54 requests outstanding before September 2012 as well as eight of those made in September.

Copy Edit of the Month: Voting is now over for the August 2012 competition, and prizes will be issued soon. The September 2012 contest is closed for submissions and open for voting. The October 2012 contest is now open for submissions. Everyone is welcome to submit entries and to vote.

– Your drive coordinators: Stfg, Allens, and Torchiest.
