Your Voting Guide
Would you mind placing the table itself in a separate subpage of the guide and then transcluding it onto your guide? That would be appreciated so other users, like myself, can place a collapsible box with that table in it on their guides for reference, and it will all be updated in one, single place. This is entirely up to you, but I'd suggest it :). JoeGazz ♂ 02:31, 27 November 2011 (UTC)
- I have added no-include tags, that should allow you to transclude the table only, without requiring it to be in a subpage. See below. Monty845 06:43, 27 November 2011 (UTC)

thanks but no thanks.
Seriously, a major problem with Wikipedia is revert monkey morons like Bobjim45 who insist on abusing automated tools like Twinkle to boost their edit count without paying a moment's notice to ensuring that they aren't reverting corrections made to incorrect or out of date information. So thanks but no thanks, my edit summary was 100% correct. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.115.188.220 (talk) 20:41, 4 December 2011 (UTC)
- Calling someone names is never appropriate. Your complaints regarding the editor in question will be taken much more seriously if you avoid name calling. I saw at least one edit you recently made that restored highly negative, unsourced material, about living people that User:Bobjim45 had properly removed, it was a major violation of WP:BLP policy. Attacking an editor for that is clearly uncalled for. Monty845 20:45, 4 December 2011 (UTC)

Re: CSD A7 on Nahir Oyal
Hi. Perhaps you might add more information about the player to make the article more substantial and provide more "meat" for readers who are looking to learn about this subject? As it stands, there is very little here that indicates any real notability. --Branwen70 (Talk) 17:40, 13 December 2011 (UTC)
- Whether or not the subject ends up being notable, the article contains a sufficient claim or importance to survive CSD criteria A7, so I removed it. Challenging an A7 does not require that the article meet the full notability guidelines. Monty845 17:48, 13 December 2011 (UTC)
According to the BASIC CRITERIA, "a subject is considered 'notable' when there are multiple published secondary sources which are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject.
If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability; trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources may not be sufficient to establish notability."
Your article has a single reference and the link to the Swedish football team, on which the player's profile exists. As it stands, the article/stub does not meet the notability requirements.
Also,as per the instructions on the Template:Db-person, you should have left the removal of the recommendation to someone other than yourself. --Branwen70 (Talk) 19:02, 13 December 2011 (UTC)
- I am not the article creator, my only edit to the article was removal of the CSD nomination. Article history. Again though, you need to understand that WP:CSD A7 is not a general purpose means to delete articles with notability problems. Criteria A7 only applies in the special case where the article contains no CLAIM of importance. Whether or not the player is notable, Nahir Oyal does contain such a claim, and so is not eligible for deletion under A7. There are other deletion processes that can be used if you think the subject is not notable, I suggest WP:AfD. Monty845 19:11, 13 December 2011 (UTC)
I see. I am fairly certain that I used the Template:db-person, which states that the article should "credibly indicate the importance or significance of the subject", rather than the less specific WP:CSD A7. However, I shall just leave it for someone else to take care of. --Branwen70 (Talk) 19:23, 13 December 2011 (UTC)
- {{db-person}} is just a specific application of WP:CSD A7. The A7 guideline is what governs its use. Monty845 19:43, 13 December 2011 (UTC)

I've merged the outline guideline draft into Wikipedia:Outlines which already covered the same ground. Makes more sense, because we were basically rewriting the whole essay over again.
Also, the original plan was to eventually propose to promote the essay to guideline status. That way its status as an essay would not be in jeopardy if the proposal failed - it would just remain an essay. The Transhumanist 02:04, 3 January 2012 (UTC)

Hey guys!
I'm dropping you a note because you filled out the New Page Patrol survey, and indicated you'd be interested in being contacted about follow-up work. This is to notify you that we've finally released both the initial documentation about the project and also the engagement strategy, which sets out how we plan to work with the community on this. Please give both a read, and leave any comments or suggestions you have on the talkpage, on my talkpage, or in my inbox - okeyes

- The last 3 reverts of your edits, including the one you seem to be referring to, where made by other users. If you ever get unblocked, STOP trying to make a point by vandalizing the article. If you think the article is unfair, biased, or otherwise is wrong, talk about it on the article talk page and come to a consensus to make changes. Your failure to discuss, and the changes you make are the reasons why your being reverted, warned, and have now been blocked by an admin. Monty845 22:48, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

Wanga tribe (Luhya)
Ok, firstly I would like to query when you visited Kenya and/or how you are such an expert on the Wanga Kingdom? Wikipedia is an online encyclopaedia for the purposes of generating information for public knowledge. As a Wanga I take great exception to your high-handedness in unilaterlally deleting information that I compiled from openly available public material and for purposes of public knowledge especially for the thousands of young Wanga children who do not have a simple, compiled and generally accurate knowledge of their history. If you dont have a history or culture then don't disrespect the history and culture of others. So you would be in violation of my copyrights if you keep on insisting on undoing the basic minimum that is also my work! — Preceding unsigned comment added by NetiaShiundu (talk • contribs) 05:31, 15 April 2012 (UTC)
- Ok, first I had nothing to do with the deletion of anything on that page. My only involvement has been restoring content that you were deleting. Second, if you look at the edit window, you will see text between the edit box and the save page button, it reads "By clicking the "Save Page" button, you agree to the Terms of Use, and you irrevocably agree to release your contribution under the CC-BY-SA 3.0 License and the GFDL. You agree that a hyperlink or URL is sufficient attribution under the Creative Commons license." Once you hit submit, other editors on Wikipedia are free edit your contribution, as long as they abide by the license, which mainly requires a chain of attribution. You cannot revoke the permission you have already given to use your contribution, you cannot take it back. Consistent with the 3 Revert Rule I wont be editing the article any further, but I suspect others may disagree with the removal of content. If you have questions about the original removal of your work, I suggest you contact the removing editor Future Perfect at Sunrise. Monty845 05:39, 15 April 2012 (UTC)
I don't get it. The information that is currently up there now also comes from the same sources that you and your other bot editors claimed to be poor quality and copy-pasted. So going by your definitions, even this material should not be there, so why are you insisting on retaining it? Bring it down as well! — Preceding unsigned comment added by NetiaShiundu (talk • contribs) 06:17, 15 April 2012 (UTC)
Thank you
Thanks for the notice, I will take up formal channel to discuss the other editors behavior. I will discontinue reverting his disruptive edits. If you can please keep an eye on that page, it is subject to heavy vandalism. I had previously requested page protection but it was denied on the grounds of lack of 'disruption'Distributor108 (talk) 17:21, 15 April 2012 (UTC)
After you left the notice, [this edit] occurred repeating the same behavior of the previous editor, it maybe a possible sock. Distributor108 (talk) 17:25, 15 April 2012 (UTC)
- I've looked at their respective editing histories, and it doesn't look very likely that sock puppetry is involved. I suggest you discuss the matter on the talk page, though if they can reference the fact that its an official language in the constitution, I think that would trump the CIA factbook. Monty845 17:33, 15 April 2012 (UTC)
Adminship?
Based on your edits and your vandalism fighting abilities, I don't think you have a problem with you being an admin. However, it will be up to you and the other legitimate editors to determine whether you would be a good admin. So would you like me to nominate you for adminship? NHRHS2010 the student pilot ✈ 13:33, 13 April 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks for your generous offer, I've recently come back from about 3 months of inactivity, so I think starting a RFA at the moment would be unwise. However, if you would still like to nominate me in a month or two I would most likely accept. Monty845 15:47, 13 April 2012 (UTC)
- Understandable. I've been partially inactive lately due to school and traveling. I sometimes find myself on YouTube uploading traveling videos, though. I'll be keeping an eye on your contributions and then I'll let you know again if I'd like to nominate you in a month or two. NHRHS2010 the student pilot ✈ 17:46, 16 April 2012 (UTC)

Comment from 86.46.148.17
Monty, I am being harassed by a "Murry" and a "DuckIsJammy". They revert edits out of maliciousness and spite and sabotage pages. Is there any way, their Wikipedia privileges can be revoked. They are making constructive editing a negative experience. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.46.148.17 (talk) 20:09, 21 April 2012 (UTC)

IP blocks
Regarding your comment here I am coming to your talk page since it is not really a matter for EAR. I realise that IPs are not normally indef blocked. They are not, in fact, blocked forever, but until the legal threat is resolved. Legal threats are somewhat rare. Neither WP:LEGAL nor WP:BLOCK specifically cover the case of legal threats from IPs. But the principle in policy is that once a legal threat is issued then the issuer should no longer edit. If you have an alternative suggestion I am always willing to listen. SpinningSpark 21:55, 21 April 2012 (UTC)
- The issue is that as with any other policy violation, outside of the next few days or weeks, the IP is unlikely to still belong to the same person who issued the threats. If we could follow the real person behind the IP, they should be prohibited from editing until they retract the threat, but more likely then not the next editor from the IPs will be collateral damage. Both IPs appear to be from ISPs as well. What I would suggest is blocks in the 2 week to a month range. That would be long for a first block on an IP, but legal threats are serious enough to justify it. Monty845 22:06, 21 April 2012 (UTC)
- Neither IP has ever been used by anyone else. 76.17.7.56 is particularly problematic, I have found it necessary to rev delete several of their edits on looking more closely at their history. For the sake of compromise, I will reduce the blocks to one year, but to be clear, both users remain banned from editing, whether or not they are physically blocked, until such time as the legal threats are withdrawn or resolved.

Administrators' noticeboard
Thank you for you comments regarding the Seamus article on administrators' noticeboard. However, I'm not sure that this is a content dispute. On April 17, Arzel removed all 8 externals links (ELs) from the article, including one that was an 8-page transcript of a Diane Sawyer interview with Mitt and Ann Romney. Transcripts are the type of material that normally are in external links. The final act that motivated me to post on the admin board was the selective removal of ELs by Arzel. I added two ELs on April 20 -- ones for 'Dogs Against Romney', a site that has been in the news a lot for its criticism of Seamus incident, and 'About Mitt Romney', a site that defends Romney's treatment of the dog. Arzel removed the Dogs Against Romney link, but left the About Mitt Romney link. That's highly biased editing. Debbie W. 00:38, 22 April 2012 (UTC)

RFA Nit-picky question
This is your diff. This is Elen's diff.
Pop quiz (to which I don't know the answer):
- Which is right?
- Why?
If you know. Thanks.--Bbb23 (talk) 00:21, 23 April 2012 (UTC)
- The issue with Elen's diff is that the next voter will start counting again at 1, whereas my diff doesn't break the counting system
- Vote 1
- Indented Vote
- Vote 2
- Other way of indenting
- Vote 3
- As seen above. Monty845 00:30, 23 April 2012 (UTC)

- Stupid me. First, I should have looked at the results of Elen's edit AND your fix right after. Second, I thought of the answer after I asked the question and after I shut down my computer for the evening. Thanks for not taking me to task and just explaining what I should have figured out on my own.--Bbb23 (talk) 08:57, 23 April 2012 (UTC)

Copyright
I didn't want to muddle up the conversation at the RfA, but was curious at to your insight. A guess would be that you were referring to the copyright on their likeness (individual or collective), but I didn't address that because it didn't seem an obvious concern in this instance due to the resolution involved, and it wasn't introduced as a reason for the infringement. I tried to carefully address the concerns that were brought up, but I would welcome your more experienced opinion. Copyright is a tricky area, and if I misrepresent the policy and guidelines, I would very much like to know. General advice is also welcomed. Dennis Brown 2¢ © 16:56, 28 April 2012 (UTC)
- I've now nominated it at commons, my argument is that the staging of the performance itself is copyrightable. Now if it was just an musician/band on an empty stage it would be a weak case, but this image has a complex stage layout, pyrotechnic effects, the banner in the background, lighting and arguably creative costume design. When all those creative elements are combined, I think the performance counts as a creative work. Probably a good argument to be made for fair use, but that is not relevant for a commons image. Monty845 17:00, 28 April 2012 (UTC)
- I can see the argument, although I'm not completely convinced it applies here. At the least, it isn't clear and obvious infringement, but that isn't really the issue anyway. This is in one of those grey area that I'm not ready to make a stand on yet. Dennis Brown - 2¢ ©
- Its really a question of line drawing. Clearly if you take a photo of the action on screen in a movie theater, that would subject to copyright. If you went to a performance of Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark and took a photo of a scene of an extremely complex set and heavily costumed actors, that would also be subject to copyright. On the other hand, if you take a photo of a street performer, just standing around playing an instrument, in a totally public place, wearing totally normal street clothes, with no logos or anything, that would not be subject to the copyright of anyone else. This photo is somewhere in the middle, I think on the copyright side, though we will see what they think at commons. Monty845 17:23, 28 April 2012 (UTC)
- A commons admin has decided its not its not obvious enough to speedy, will see how the deletion discussion goes. Monty845 21:28, 28 April 2012 (UTC)
- I had a feeling they might not speedy it since it isn't blatant and obvious. Then, I've seen very obvious cases take a few hours, or a few days there. I've not hung around there enough to fully know their standard operating procedure, I mainly just upload and leave. Dennis Brown - 2¢ © 21:42, 28 April 2012 (UTC)
- Do me a favor: If this takes a while and I get lost in the paperwork, please drop me a line and let me know how it ends. I'm curious to see where the line is myself. Dennis Brown - 2¢ © 22:10, 28 April 2012 (UTC)

A question
Hello M. First, thank you for tagging the hoax (or at least non- notable) bio page created by Bulimic Walrus (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log). I noticed that this editor put the exact same in on their userpage. I know that there is a lot of leeway as to what is allowed on a userpage but I am wondering if this should be tagged as well. At this time it looks like this is some kid who created a username just to mess around here and, hopefully, they will just disappear. If you think we should just leave it then no worries I just thought that I would ask for your thoughts. Thanks for your time and cheers. MarnetteD | Talk 18:23, 1 May 2012 (UTC)
- Its pretty borderline regarding deleting the userpage, as I cannot evaluate the veracity of the other claims. Clearly though the medal of honor claim is a hoax, and I've removed that at least. Maybe it should go to MfD. Monty845 18:37, 1 May 2012 (UTC)

Andythegrump is attacking me
If you want evidence look at this: http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Talk:Eastern_Front_(World_War_II)&action=history He calls me to fuck off and that I'm a 'pig ignorant troll' and you reprimand me instead? There are some serious problems on this internet encyclopedia. RhymeNero (talk) 16:31, 12 May 2012 (UTC)
- Your message on his talk page was an unambiguous personal attack. It is increasingly clear that you are a troll, while he should have responded more appropriately to your trolling, I don't think warning him would be just in light of the circumstances. Monty845 16:37, 12 May 2012 (UTC)
- Nothing I have done merits the accolade of troll when I've got a stalker who follows me on every article and removes everything I contribute. He think he's some internet police? Who's the troll? The only reason you people are harassing me is because you have different opinions on subjects I edit on. That's fine, but name calling and stalking is over the top.

Noting a copyright violation that has been dealt with
Sorry to trouble you - I picked your username off the Copyright Problems page. I couldn't find a noticeboard page for copyvio "heads up" scenarios rather than full out copyvio tagged pages, so I'll just pass this along and hopefully you can forward it to the right folks. The article The Sum of All Fears (about the Tom Clancy novel) included a single reference citation - to an offshore PDF download of the complete novel; a clear copyvio scenario as the book is not public domain. I have deleted this, however I've experienced that often editing as an IP my edits may be automatically reverted by some (especially as my edit removed a reference citation, although it wasn't properly formed anyway). In this case I find the scenario serious enough that I don't want to take the chance of it being reverted, so I thought I'd just pass it along to a registered user involved in copyvio situations so they are aware. I hope this helps. 70.72.223.215 (talk) 13:05, 14 May 2012 (UTC)
- I'll keep an eye on it. Your edit summary should help avoid getting reverted. As for a place for copyvio heads up, it seems we are missing a general copyright violation noticeboard, I thought a place like that would be useful as well. Anyway, thanks for your diligence in removing a copyright violation. Monty845 14:24, 14 May 2012 (UTC)

Customization of AssessmentBar
Heya! Apologies, just saw your message on my talk page. I'd be very interested in helping out with whatever modifications you need. The entire userscript was built to be very reusable, so I'll be glad to modify it for whatever you need it for. Do you have a wikipage somewhere with information on what exactly you're planning on doing with it for your WikiProject? YuviPanda (talk) 14:46, 19 May 2012 (UTC)
- No page outlining it, I'm just using it to assess the articles for the project. There are no subprojects, and not much fancy about the assessment process, though there are two peculiarities about the project talk page templates for the project. The first is that there is no importance rating, which is dealt with easily enough by not defining any importance in the project specific .js, while the interface does leave a blank importance selection, it doesn't effect the usability of the script. The second peculiarity of the project's templates is that there is a reviewer= parameter filled in from when the AFC reviewer approved the article submission and moved it from project space to article space. In the default version of the script, it changes all the template parameters to lowercase when you review an article using the script, and I don't want to lowercase anyone's username example when they have chosen a particular capitalization style for it. I was able to change that behavior by modifying line 157 in the script from toLowerCase() to toString() change and have noticed no adverse consequences, though I may not grasp something there due to my limited knowledge of coding. (The change is just so the script leaves the parameter alone, as the script has no need to interact with it)
- Those two issues are somewhat specific to the AFC project, the last change I would be interested in, which is something that anyone seeking to use it on another project will encounter, and this is just a matter of convenience,(its easy enough to manually select from the unassessed category) is that the next button, as best I can tell, relies on your own server to select un-assessed project India articles for the user. Now I imagine you could set up a similar link to provide articles for another project, but ideally, is there a way to set things up that would allow a change in the project specific .js to change the source of articles for assessment without requiring you to configure the backend on your server on a project by project basis?

Peter Paddleford
Does the copyvio bot still have a problem with Peter Paddleford?
My problem, in rewording the article is that some things can't be reworded that well. "He built x bridges." I suppose I could violate English style and say "X bridges were built by him."
So the choices of rewording at this point are pretty elusive and lame.
His life outside of the production of a widely used bridge design is not well-known.
I have sincerely taken the initial warning to heart and rewrote it as best I could. I don't know how to reduce it further without removing most, if not the entire, content. I suppose I could stub it. Student7 (talk) 12:09, 28 May 2012 (UTC)
- When I reviewed the duplicate detector report, its clear that there are still several extended strings of text that are directly copied. It is acceptable to occasionally phrase things the same when its really the only way to phrase a statement, but the strings in the current version just don't work for that. Really, the proper way to handle the situation is instead tweaking the existing text until it stops raising red flags, and thereby hiding the plagiarism, you should draft a new version from scratch. To avoid plagiarism the classic system is to read through the source material(s) and take notes recording factual information. Then, preferably at least a few hours later so the verbiage of the source material isn't fresh in your mind, you come back with your notes and use them to write the article using your own words. This greatly reduces the risk that you may inadvertently copy text verbatim as you wont even have the text to copy when your doing the writing. You can then compare your version to the sources to make sure its accurate and properly referenced, but try avoid copying phrasing unless its for a direct quote. Monty845 15:15, 28 May 2012 (UTC)
- I stubbed it where I shouldn't have (in the article, sorry) and also where the pointer led. Is the stub acceptable? Student7 (talk) 20:58, 28 May 2012 (UTC)

Just curious how did you discover that I had copied the said article to my sandbox? and why do you feel it merits mentioning on the discusssion to delete the page? Finnegas (talk) 21:12, 16 June 2012 (UTC)
- It popped up in a bot generated report I follow due to the copied AfD tag being located in user space. We cannot delete the article as long as the copy stays in your sandbox, as the original is needed to attribute the material you copied under the licensing structure Wikipedia uses, it would be necessary to either move the article to userspace and merge its history with your sandbox version, or to delete the version in your sandbox. It is therefor important that admin making enacting the close be aware of the sandbox version, so I added it as a note to the AfD discussion. Monty845 21:18, 16 June 2012 (UTC)
- Fair enough, so removing the version from my sandbox would be the proper thing to do to avoid hassle? Finnegas (talk) 21:27, 16 June 2012 (UTC)
- Really, I think what you probably want to do is remove the copied version from your sandbox, and then make a request for WP:USERFICATION as an alternative to deletion. If the closing admin agrees, they will move the article and its history to your userspace, and that will allow time for the article to develop and/or for more news articles about the player to be published that will resolve the notability concern raised at the deletion discussion. Also, if you can find a few news articles about him, that provide an in depth, substantive coverage about him as an individual, it may be enough to change the outcome of the AfD discussion before it even gets to userfication.

Suppressredirect
Gotta say, your post at VPR made me think about it a bit. I still support it as a userright of some sort, but I hadn't honestly thought about its dark side. I guess I've gotten too used to having it. The Blade of the Northern Lights (話して下さい) 21:27, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
- I'm definitely in support of unbundling as many rights as possible, including that one, but definitely how they are then bundled to hand out needs to be carefully considered. There is generally a perception that some of the WP:PERM rights are vulnerable to abuse, but compared to most of the other admin package rights, the potential for additional abuse from the rights assigned there are pretty trivial. Monty845 21:51, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
- Yeah, that's the trick. Making it easy enough to get so users who could use it get it, but not so easy that malicious users can have it; I'll have to do some thinking about where that line is. Hopefully we can find it, because I grow weary of having to delete redirects like the one I used as an example there; it'd make everyone's life a bit easier if done right.

Global bans policy discussion
At meta:Requests for comment/Global bans, where you have commented in support of Option 2, a third option has recently been implemented. The first two options did not prove a way for respondents to indicate that they oppose global bans entirely, i.e., that it is not possible to write a meaningful global bans policy that would attract their support. Option 3 is intended to provide that opportunity, and to aid in distinguishing between people who oppose the proposed policy because it requires improvements and those who oppose the proposed policy because no policy permitting global bans should be adopted.
Because the third section was added late by a respondent, it is possible that some people who responded early in the RFC have commented at option 2, but would really prefer to support option 3, or support both. If so, you may voluntarily choose to move your original comment or to or strikethrough your original comment and add new comments. This is a courtesy notice of the change, and there is no requirement that you take any action. WhatamIdoing (talk) 15:50, 13 July 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks for letting me know, but I'm not opposed to global bans on principal, I just want to make sure that sufficient safeguards are in place to protect the independence of individual projects, and allow them to overrule global actions on a case by case basis. Monty845 15:52, 13 July 2012 (UTC)

Should you wish to not participate in the study, or have questions or concerns, you can find contact information in the consent information sheet.
We have added information about the opportunity to make substantial valuable contributions to an article using a Low/Medium/High scale which goes from Low to High . The score is calculated by combining an article's readership and quality.
SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. We appreciate that you have signed up to receive suggestions regularly, your contributions make Wikipedia better — thanks for helping!
If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please let us know on SuggestBot's talk page. Regards from Nettrom (talk), SuggestBot's caretaker. -- SuggestBot (talk) 02:29, 21 August 2012 (UTC)

One question added after your vote
Thanks much for voting. When we put the RfC together, one thing we were all agreed on was that it should run a week, so that it didn't take too much time away from more central questions ... but we decided not to put that in the RfC, I think because we didn't want to force a cutoff in the middle of a good debate. At this point, I've added that question, if you'd like to vote on that one too. - Dank (push to talk) 13:48, 6 September 2012 (UTC)

Attachment Focused Treatment Institute
OK. I am sorry, I'd thought that it was notable since the Institute is part of a U in Singapore. However, if it is not considered so, so be it. I've read the Wikipedia policies you recommended and they are vague enough that I interpret them as allowing the page...but you have much more experience that I do, so I defer to your expertise. Argon&Helium (talk) 12:34, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
- The reason I nominated it for deletion was actually that it was written like an advertisement for the institute, and that substantial portions of it were copied from a website without attribution, which is a copyright violation. It probably also had a notability issue, but that was not my reason for nominating it. Monty845 14:22, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
- OK, I understand. It is a certification institute, and so I'm not sure how to write about it without it sounding like an ad. Thanks.Argon&Helium (talk) 10:45, 11 September 2012 (UTC)

Just to be clear, is it your proposal that even though eight terms are ending, only seven Arbitrators be elected for two-year terms, and one for a one-year term (assuming no vacancies)? So in other words you want to end up with two tranches of seven two-year seats and a one-year seat that is in neither of the tranches? If so, it seems overly complicated to me. If that's what you are looking for, I may propose an alternative, electing eight for two-year terms. Neutron (talk) 16:15, 1 October 2012 (UTC)
- That is my proposal, and I was totally expecting someone to make such an alternative proposal, which is totally reasonable, though not my preference. Monty845 16:16, 1 October 2012 (UTC)
- Also, your alternative proposal is I think very likely to be the one that ends up with consensus support. Monty845 16:20, 1 October 2012 (UTC)
Modification to May PC be applied to pages to protect against violations of the policy on biographies of living persons (WP:BLP)?
Hello. Because the "Yes" section was split between one group in favor of applying protection to all articles and one group in favor of applying protection to articles only when there has been a problem, I have split the section to reflect this difference. Please go back to that page and make sure that your vote is still in the section that most closely reflects your views. Sven Manguard Wha? 16:16, 2 October 2012 (UTC)
- Looks like you got my !vote in the right place. Monty845 16:25, 2 October 2012 (UTC)
- Honestly it wasn't that hard to figure out where the lines were. I just wanted to let everyone know to avoid complaints of bias or unethical behavior. Sven Manguard Wha? 16:28, 2 October 2012 (UTC)

RFC for FRG
Hi Monty, I saw your comment about starting an RFC to adopt WP:FRG as it currently is. My suggestion would be to wait to see what Boson says next (as the last one was quite helpful) and to allow some time after my last edits. My suggestion is that if it's still all quiet in a week we should start an RFC. We would also need to write a lead section as well. How does that sound to you? Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 06:10, 7 October 2012 (UTC)
- That sounds fine to me, the more stable it is when we start the RFC the more likely it is that the RFC can reach consensus. Monty845 16:03, 7 October 2012 (UTC)

Election RFC
My note about the subject of "parties" was archived off MuZeMike's talk page, so since you commented, I thought I would post this here. I edited the first version of my draft comment (original still here) down to a shorter version (here). The new version merges the introduction into the proposals themselves and does not mention the issue of voter guides, based partly on your comment that having the "party endorsement" page in "Wikiproject space" would be better. I don't want this to get rejected because of what "space" something is in -- assuming that this proposal is even necessary at all. I still have not posted it in the RfC as I really wanted to get some feedback first. Neutron (talk) 19:11, 11 October 2012 (UTC)

This is not a newsletter
Anyway. You're getting this note because you've participated in discussion and/or asked for updates to either the Article Feedback Tool or Page Curation. This isn't about either of those things, I'm afraid ;p. We've recently started working on yet another project: Echo, a notifications system to augment the watchlist. There's not much information at the moment, because we're still working out the scope and the concepts, but if you're interested in further updates you can sign up here.
In addition, we'll be holding an office hours session at 21:00 UTC on Wednesday, 14 November in #wikimedia-office - hope to see you all there :). I appreciate it's an annoying time for non-Europeans: if you're interested in chatting about the project but can't make it, give me a shout and I can set up another session if there's enough interest in one particular timezone or a skype call if there isn't.

AFT5 newsletter
Hey all :). A couple of quick updates (one small, one large)
First, we're continuing to work on some ways to increase the quality of feedback and make it easier to eliminate and deal with non-useful feedback: hopefully I'll have more news for you on this soon :).
Second, we're looking at ways to increase the actual number of users patrolling and take off some of the workload from you lot. Part of this is increasing the prominence of the feedback page, which we're going to try to do with a link at the top of each article to the relevant page. This should be deployed on Tuesday (touch wood!) and we'll be closely monitoring what happens. Let me know if you have any questions or issues :). Thanks, Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 14:35, 16 November 2012 (UTC)

- It appears to be a copy of [2], we don't have that much precedent, but we may need to delete it as a copyvio. Absent that issue, my thought would be make a note of it on the general ACE talk page, to leave it in the category and just not have it trasncluded, thus providing as much transparency as possible, without having it confuse potential voters.

"Playing for West Ham United, a professional football team in the top national league is a claim of importance, may even be enough for notability"
That's not true. In order for the page to be enough for notability, a player has to play in either a fully pro match (which he hasn't), a competitive cup match that features two fully pro teams (which he hasn't) or a full international match (which he hasn't). If a player hasn't done that, it fails WP:NFOOTBALL. More importantly, the player doesn't have significant coverage so it fails WP:GNG. – Michael (talk) 00:47, 29 November 2012 (UTC)
- I probably should not have mentioned notability, as its not actually part of the analysis for CSD A7. The criteria for surviving a CSD A7 nomination is that an article make "any credible claim of significance or importance", while being notable counts, so do things far short of being notable. In my opinion, being a member of a professional team counts as a claim of importance. While its true that such team members may or may not be notable, its an indication that deliberation is needed. I wasn't trying to make a formal claim that the subject was notable in my edit summary, only that he could well be if someone researched it. It sounds like you have, and if in your opinion he is not notable, then taking it to AfD as you have done is entirely appropriate. Monty845 01:38, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
- OK, so I may have faulted right there. Even with my experience I sometimes do have a knack for making a lot of mistakes. – Michael (talk) 03:08, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
Mentioned you
Hi. I referred to a comment of yours, peripherally, in an ANI thread on Delicious carbuncle's conduct at WP:AN. This is a courtesy message because I mentioned you; please don't feel obliged to respond. — Francophonie&Androphilie (Je vous invite à me parler) 02:00, 2 December 2012 (UTC)

Hi Monty, congrats on adminship! Would you mind having a look through the feedback response guidelines. I'm think it might be worth starting and RFC to adopt sometime soon they have been stable for a bit now and I think they're ready. What do you think? Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 12:20, 2 December 2012 (UTC)
- While I'm sure the guidelines will continue to evolve, I think they are stable enough that it is probably time to try a guideline promotion RFC and see how it goes. I doubt waiting will improve the chances much. Monty845 23:47, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
thanks
Thanks for your concern :)
you posted this template on my talk page:
- == December 2012 ==
Hello. It appears that you have been canvassing—leaving messages on biased users' talk pages to notify them of an ongoing community decision, debate, or vote—in order to influence Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:Article Rescue Squadron/Rescue list (2nd nomination). While friendly notices are allowed, they should be limited and nonpartisan in distribution and should reflect a neutral point of view. Please do not post notices which are indiscriminately cross-posted, which espouse a certain point of view or side of a debate, or which are selectively sent only to those who are believed to hold the same opinion as you. Remember to respect Wikipedia's principle of consensus-building by allowing decisions to reflect the prevailing opinion among the community at large. Monty845 20:24, 4 December 2012 (UTC)
This was in regards to the below post, which quotes Wikipedia:Canvassing:
- ==Wikipedia:Article Rescue Squadron/Rescue list (2nd nomination)==
- You are getting this alert because you participated in Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:Article Rescue Squadron/Rescue list
- Wikipedia:Miscellany_for_deletion/Wikipedia:Article_Rescue_Squadron/Rescue_list_(2nd_nomination) is now up for deletion.
- Per Wikipedia:Canvassing:
- An editor who may wish to draw a wider range of informed, but uninvolved, editors to a discussion might place a message at one of the following:
- ...On the talk pages of concerned editors. Examples include editors who have participated in previous discussions on the same topic (or closely related topics...The audience must not be selected on the basis of their opinions—for example, if notices are sent to editors who previously supported deleting an article, then identical notices should be sent to those who supported keeping it. (emphasis my own).
thank you for your notice. Spoildead (talk) 20:27, 4 December 2012 (UTC)
- You intentionally selected a group of editors who would be biased in the way you wanted. That you send it to the whole set of such editors does nothing to change that it WAS canvassing, and your messages only shows that you knew in advance it would be considered canvassing by many. That you went ahead anyway is WP:POINTY at best, if not outright disruptive editing. Monty845 20:31, 4 December 2012 (UTC)
I see that you blocked Negerjavlar. Can I recommend that you also remove his edits to Tom Hardy from public view because he inserted several inappropriate images to it. JDDJS (talk) 21:03, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
- Done, there were some other pretty disruptive edits, but I'm not sure if the other ones (that you didn't ask about) rise to the level of deserving a revdel. Monty845 21:07, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks. JDDJS (talk) 21:09, 5 December 2012 (UTC)

- Well, I made a verification link for them, but they didn't seem interested. They should count themselves lucky they didn't get blocked for longer. Monty845 18:22, 16 December 2012 (UTC)
- Patience. Give them about 30 more hours and I'm sure they will find a way. They aren't interested in anything factual, but instead in those things that reinforce their viewpoint. Dennis Brown - 2¢ © Join WER 18:40, 16 December 2012 (UTC)

Unhat
Monty,
The hatting is appropriate, and yes I did see what you were pointing out to me, it says "Arbitrators or Clerks may summarily remove or refactor inappropriate material without warning.". I saw it. Note that it doesn't say Only Arbitrators or Clerks...." and I didn't remove or refactor, just hatted it. (Just so you know, I won't go back again today as that would put me at 3rr ) KoshVorlon. We are all Kosh ... 19:16, 19 December 2012 (UTC)
- Whether or not the comments are civil, hatting them, particularly on an Arbcom space, is not a productive thing to be doing. Hatting should be reserved for situations where discussion has gone significantly off the rails, not just because you think someone said something they should not have.

Reviewer
Hey, I saw you helping out around Wikipedia:Requests for permissions/Reviewer. I hadn't known there was a backlog there, I figured I'd pitch in once in a while to keep it down. But I'm a newbie at it kind of (I've basically been on wikibreak since before the process was around). So definitely feel free to let me know if you think anything I do is sketchy or whatnot, and any advice you have would be welcome. Peace, delldot ∇. 19:40, 29 December 2012 (UTC)
