The "Argentine history" arbitration case was accepted based on one premise: the use of fringe sources that advocate fascist political goals. I built my evidence comment around that. However, Cambalachero and MarshalN20 are avoiding that discussion. MarshalN20 added diffs that has no relation at all with the case ("Lecen and the shapeshifting Alarbus" and "Lecen's behavior and WP:DIVA", etc...). Is that how it's supposed to work? If it is, will I be allowed to answer to those accusations later? --Lecen (talk) 15:51, 9 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
They should talk about the issues originally raised, but they can use their evidence space as they wish, as long as they don't contain: (i) BLP violations, (ii) personal attacks, and (iii) evidence not supported by diffs. As all parties have 1000 words to discuss behaviour and 2000 to discuss sources, I think you could add a response to those accusations on your 1000 words. Notwithstanding, they can also be discussed on the Workshop page, where the proposed findings of fact, principles and remedies are proposed by parties and community members. — ΛΧΣ2118:08, 9 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
On other matters, please reorganize your comments to separate the 1000 words of behaviour from the 2000 words of source discussion, else I'd have to do it myself, and I don't want to unintentionally remove information you might consider vital. Please do so as fast as you can. — ΛΧΣ2101:48, 10 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I did that already. The last section is about the Argentine revisionism. The others above are related to how the two other editors handled the use of Argentine Nationalist sources. I sent a message to one of the Arbitrators more than a week ago telling him that my entire statement is a little less 2,800 words. I asked him to allow me to keep as it is since it has less than the overall 3,000 words allowed. But he never replied. --Lecen (talk) 01:57, 10 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
If my quess is correct, the "Nationalism/Revisionism" part is the only one about the sources, so I've moved it to another section. Not counting that, your statement about behaviour is around 1,500 words long, so I'd recommend to shorten it after the bot comes and calculates the exact number of words. Remember that the allowance was 1000 words for behaviour and 2000 words for sources. Therefore, you cannot use the 2000 words dedicated for sources to add evidence about behaviour. Cheers. — ΛΧΣ2102:11, 10 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Lecen, best would be if you ignored his comment. It is unlikely to influence Manning's actions, so it can safely be ignored. Regards, AGK[•]17:51, 10 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I made it to Manning's talk page through the block log. I placed the log on my evidence section and saw that Manning had added new information to it. Maybe I stalked Manning a bit, but I am not stalking Lecen.--MarshalN20 | Talk03:05, 11 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
And before another "stalking" accusation comes up, I came here to talk to Harold about the sandbox links Lecen was placing in the evidence article. I am surprised that none of you in good faith told him that his stalking accusation was not appropriate.--MarshalN20 | Talk03:08, 11 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
My humblest opinion. To Lecen: On my position as a clerk, it will be very inappropriate to perform administrative actions on parties within the open case I'm clerking, given that (i) it is out of the remit of my responsibilities as a clerk, and (ii) it will hazard my position as a neutral entity. Also, I don't hold any power to perform such actions notwithstanding, and that's the Arbitrators decision to perform any of these actions if necessary. To Marshal: I preferred to let an arbitrator to reach my talk and answer Lecen, and well, I was inactive to give him a proper answer about it. My apologies. — ΛΧΣ2103:15, 11 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
"(a) The additional statement may only discuss the historiography of the topic, the sources used (or not used) in articles about it on Wikipedia, and whether those sources represent majority, minority, or fringe views of the topic (cf. WP:WEIGHT and WP:FRINGE)."
"(b) The additional statement must not discuss, reference, or mention any editor or their actions."
Please remind MarshalN20 of that. His statement about sources are either based on his personal opinions about me or about the subject.[1][2][3] His statement is supposed to have sources, and not to touch on my name or whatever I did nor to share his personal opinion of how we should handle sources (and even less mention what his history teacher said). --Lecen (talk) 17:23, 11 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I was still working on the section when you took those diffs. The current version has no mention of editors (or their actions). The current section is all about the sources. My statement is not "supposed to have sources". Kirill wants us to "discuss" the matter, and discussion may (or may not) involve the usage of sources. I am not breaking any of the rules. Lastly, you should probably write this on the talk space of the request. Harold has already expressed his desire to remain as neutral as possible, and we must respect that. Best regards.--MarshalN20 | Talk17:55, 11 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Hey Marshal. All evidence must be typed on the /Evidence page. Submission of evidence via sub-pages in userspace is prohibited, per the Arbitration Committee's procedures policy. I'll take a look as soon a I can to make sure that this is being followed. Cheers. — ΛΧΣ2103:10, 11 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Harold, thank you so much for the quick response. I was about to start one as well, but now I can spend my time on more positive things (mainly sleeping). Best wishes.--MarshalN20 | Talk03:34, 11 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, the Wikimedia Foundation would like your feedback on Individual Engagement Grants! We have created a brief survey to help us better understand your experience participating in the IEG program and how we can improve for the future. You are being selected to participate in our survey because you served on the IEG Committee.
This template is at the moment linking at the chart with the BillboardID 880, but this is the year-end-chart and it correctly has to link at the chart with the ID 309. I do not know how to fix that and I noticed that small changes can cause big problems in such templates, so I better ask you for help. I hope you can help... --Ali1610 (talk) 20:41, 13 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I have already talked with Kww and we are at the moment searching for the correct numbers of the normal charts and the year-end-charts, as you maybe can see when you click "Edit" at the numbers-template... there are at the moment sometimes two chart names for the same number. I have added them, but Kww has to fix the links using his chartbot so that the false duplicates can be deleted. I do not know how long this will take... --Ali1610 (talk) 08:28, 14 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Hello. You are invited to join Darius Dhlomo Drive, a project which aims to cleanup and resolve one of the oldest copyright investigations on the sire.

He was a charismatic leader, but not the type of leader I'd follow. His political and economical views were a disaster, and although they looked good on paper, they were not plausible on practice. He tried to recreate some sort of disrupted socialism here, and it seems his biggest achievement was to convince 8 million people that it was possible. Now that he's gone, Chavism is starting to die, but there are some ones like Maduro who foolishly believe they can endure forever. — ΛΧΣ2115:34, 16 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
ArbCom case
Three editors posted statements after the time limit. Does it mean that the time limit is not being enforced? Could I rework my statement, then? --Lecen (talk) 19:23, 16 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I apologize for not noticing this before. I will consult the drafting arbitrators and see if those comments should be moved to the talk page of the Evidence case page. Regards. — ΛΧΣ2121:05, 16 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Update Kirill told me he has no problem with you editing your own statement while the workshop phase is opened. Tim is fine with leaving the evidence presented by those three users on the evidence case page. Regards. — ΛΧΣ2123:40, 16 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not yet sure. I have my doubts regarding if a consensus to promote has yet to be achieved. I'd carefully study the FLC page before promoting, but sadly, I am not available to do that. If I have more time to invest again, I will take a look at it, unless a director has done so before. Regards. — ΛΧΣ2119:02, 19 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Hey Hahc21/2013 :). I'm dropping you a note because you have signed up for the Notifications, or Echo, newsletter.
If all goes according to plan, we should be launching Echo on en-wiki either tomorrow, or next Tuesday - I'll drop a followup tomorrow when we know what's happening. Should the launch succeed, we'll begin the process of triaging bugs and gathering feedback on what features work, what cause problems, and what we should do next; I hope you'll help us out on these fronts by leaving any comments you might have on the talkpage.
Hi, I see you have changed the arb report in the Signpost to indicate that the evidence phase of Argentine History is now closed. Is there an easy way to tell when a phase closes? I see by the page history there have been continued edits to the page after the stated closing date. Whereas in this case the page was protected. Thanks. —Neotarf (talk) 10:01, 26 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Usually, no more evidence is accepted after the date has passed. What happened with this case request was that because the Signpost reported that the arbs were looking for help from experienced users, evidence that was posted after 12 April because of that reason was to be accepted. Notwithstanding, as the proposed desicion is due today, no more evidence will be accepted. I may ask an arb to protect the page though. Thanks for the notice :) — ΛΧΣ2115:51, 26 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I see, so the dates at the top of the page are pretty much written in stone. For some reason I thought they tended to run behind schedule or be more flexible. Anyhow I appreciate your corrections and your keeping on eye on these details. Perhaps it would be helpful to the readers if the Signpost started including the dates of workshop deadlines as well. —Neotarf (talk) 05:00, 27 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

WikiCup 2013 April newsletter
We are a week into Round 3, but it is off to a flying start, with Sven Manguard (submissions) claiming for the high-importance Portal:Sports and Portal:Geography (which are the first portals ever awarded bonus points in the WikiCup) and Cwmhiraeth (submissions) claiming for a did you know of sea, the highest scoring individual did you know article ever submitted for the WikiCup. Round 2 saw very impressive scores at close; first place Casliber (submissions) and second place Sturmvogel_66 (submissions) both scored over 1000 points; a feat not seen in Round 2 since 2010. This, in part, has been made possible by the change in the bonus points rules, but is also testament to the quality of the competition this year. Pool C and Pool G were most competitive, with three quarters of participants making it to Round 3, while Pool D was the least, with only the top two scorers making it through. The lowest qualifying score was 123, significantly higher than last year's 65, 2011's 41 or even 2010's 100.
The next issue of The Signpost is due to include a brief update on the current WikiCup, comparing it to previous years' competitions. This may be of interest to current WikiCup followers, and may help bring some more new faces into the community. We would also like to note that this round includes an extra competitor to the 32 advertised, who has been added to a random pool. This extra inclusion seems to have been the fairest way to deal with a small mistake made before the beginning of this round, but should not affect the competition in a large way. If you have any questions or concerns about this, please feel free to contact one of the judges.
A rules clarification: content promoted between rounds can be claimed in the round after the break, but not the round before. The case in point is content promoted on 29/30 April, which may be claimed in this round. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

Hi Hahc21. Numbermaniac did my GA review at YouSendIt, where I am acting in a PR capacity. I thought it was strange that he passed it, because one of the check-list items is WP:LEAD, which the article no longer complies with (another editor made changes that strayed from WP:LEAD and I was expecting the GA reviewer to bring it up). I poked around a bit and noticed he was a relatively new user (500-1k edits or so) and had passed at least one other GA that I noticed in a similar fashion (being generally not as thorough as is the norm I've experienced with other reviewers).
I wasn't really sure how to handle it, especially because of my COI role in this case. I know you're particularly active in article-ranking and would probably know what to do? I'm sure he's just trying to help and is not familiar with how thorough they normally are. Or maybe I underestimate myself and the article really is GA-quality. I don't mean to whine and I don't want to be mean or disrespectful about it either (it's easy to come off that way in my position) ;-) CorporateM (Talk) 01:23, 23 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
This is the second reminder that May 9th will be the end of the grace period for the World Tour article. So to make sure it doesn't get demoted it needs to be at GA status or higher beforehand so Independiente will remain a Good Topic. GamerPro6401:23, 25 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I've just been told that the article still has another month left before the period ends. Sorry if there any troubles I made. GamerPro6423:32, 8 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Hey there! Just over a month ago I nominated SheiKra for FA status. The review is coming to a stall and since no one opposed or supported it yet, maybe you could be the first to get the review going again by supporting the article (since you did review and pass the article for GA status, and the article remains largely unchanged) at the review page. Thanks!~--Dom497 (talk)19:31, 25 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Hey Harold, I hope things are well with you. If you could possibly help out, there are two FLRCs that the closing 'bot failed to close properly, they're both noted on my talkpage under "FLRC" headings. If you don't mind, could you close them manually? I appreciate this isn't the most scintillating work, but I also know that you do a perfect job of it, that's why asked for "yet another" favour!

Hey, thanks for your closure but if it's all the same to you, I'd really rather have a regular closure for this one. In any event, it should be closed as Keep, not Withdrawn -- because at least one editor still commented as Delete, which is also why it does not quality for non-admin-closure. Thanks again for your understanding in this matter, — Cirt (talk) 08:34, 18 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, here's my reasoning: First, nobody voted delete, though that's not relevant. I read the whole AfD and I found that most voters did write a sound reasoning as to why the article should be kept, and those comments went mainly unchallenged. I failed to see one compelling reason to delete the article, and a bunch of good reasons to keep it (not under BLP1E, received coverage outside the elections, etc), which is eventually shown in the vote count. — ΛΧΣ2102:32, 19 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Vote count should not be a reason for keep, but on the strength of the reasoning behind the bolded text. The majority of statements for keep were very short, and did not IMHO dispute BLP1E or POLITICIAN. The strongest reasoning for keeping rather than redirected I saw was an IAR argument.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 16:48, 19 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Obviously vote count is not to be the main reason, but after reading what almost all participants wrote, they achieved consensus to keep the article. I don't have a strong opinion on the article, but I concur with the keep votes that if she meets GNG, there is no reason to delete the article, as GNG supercedes the rest of the guidelines. Also, no one appeared to have strong reasons to cast a delete vote along with a good argument besides the nominator, so closing it as delete wouldn't have been the right close. — ΛΧΣ2117:01, 19 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I am not suggesting to close as a deletion, but as a redirect per normal practice of WP:POLOUTCOMES & WP:BLP1E as the majority of the significant coverage the subject of that AfD received was directly related to the subject being a candidate of a failed election attempt, even if those sources give a background of the candidate, the coverage is of the subject as a candidate, and thus why the election is considered a single event. Would WP:DRV be the appropriate recourse?--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 17:04, 20 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I understand your concerns, but closing it as redirect wouldn't have been a good read of the participant's consensus. Also, DRV would not be the right venue: my recommendation would be to wait one week (or two) and open a new AfD, to see if consensus has changed. — ΛΧΣ2119:07, 20 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I'm one of those who detests article about simple candidates. This one is unique: a) first even special election; b) Stephen Colbert's sister; c) rather important individual at one of the most important US colleges; d) darned close race. Combine those together, a bunch of small fractions = "keep" ... as an admin, I would have easily done the keep...although not one that a non-admin should likely have touched because of the reading of WP:POLITICIAN (✉→BWilkins←✎) 23:57, 26 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with B. Even when it would have been best to leave the close to a local administrator, the outcome would have been the same though. — ΛΧΣ2104:22, 27 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I think the close was proper, as a reasonable exception to the general rule. The special election (by-election as it's called in some places) attracted wide attention, due to its historic nature, and that while she lost, Colbert Busch was (or became) independently notable. See, for some other examples, Sharron Angle and Harry Wilson (businessman), both FWIW, Republicans. Angle, Wilson, and Colbert Busch each lost elections, but they are still notable. You can lose yet not be a loser. Bearian (talk) 19:47, 28 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, so this RfC has gone on for way to long, no one seems to be dropping any opinions any more so I think its time to close it. With that, I'm looking at two big things that should be addressed, the buttons for reviewers to quickly pass/fail/on hold an article and getting this recruitment thing started. I know nothing about code so I can't help with that but would like to see it happen so maybe if someone is up to the challenge they can create a quick script (doesn't have to be advanced or anything). About the recruitment, instead of holding a drive, I was thinking we could create more of a "center". A banner would be placed permanently on the top of the nominations page saying that if a user has never reviewed an article and would like help to get started, go to the recruitment center to find out more. There, there will be a list of volunteers (experienced reviews) who the user asking for help can pick a mentor who will guide them in reviewing an article. (that's a lot of writing!!!) I'll start working up a draft so it makes better sense (we can do a 1 month trial or something to even see if the concept works). Sound good?--Dom497 (talk)01:37, 26 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Some ideas from me. I will be potentialy out of internet contact in a few weeks so may not be much help.
Have it as another tab on the tabs already on GA pages
Specifically go out to recruit people, either dropping personal notes at talk pages, wikiprojects and the signpost (maybe even a watchlist header if you can swing it)
Advertise it as purely to get inexperienced editors reviewing. Make it clear that there will be help right the way through the process and they can't really make too much of a mess.
See if you can get some regulars who are willing to have their articles reviewed by these new reviewers. That should help alleviate any biting issues. The bonus for the regulars is that they will get there articles reviewed faster.
I would not treat this as a way to clear the backlog, but to get those reviewers who have considered reviewing, but were a little unsure whether they could. This has the added bonus of increaing reviewer numbers (and so reducing the backlog) and making sure the new reviewers devlelop good habits from the start.
Hello! Now, some of you might be wondering why there is a Good article icon with a bunch of stars around (to the right). The answer? WikiProject Good articles will be launching a Recruitment Centre very soon! The centre will allow all users to be taught how to review Good article nominations by experts just like you! However, in order for the Recruitment Centre to open in the first place, we need some volunteers:
Recruiters: The main task of a recruiter is to teach users that have never reviewed a Good article nomination how to review one. To become a recruiter, all you have to do is meet this criteria. If we don't get at least 5-10 recruiters to start off with, the Recruitment Centre will not open. If interested, make sure you meet the criteria, read the process and add your name to the list of recruiters. (One of the great things about being a recruiter is that there is no set requirement of what must be taught and when. Instead, all the content found in the process section is a guideline of the main points that should be addressed during a recruitment session...you can also take an entire different approach if you wish!) If you think you will not have the time to recruit any users at this time but are still interested in becoming a recruiter, you can still add your name to the list of recruiters but just fill in the "Status" parameter with "Not Available".
Co-Director: The current Director for the centre is me (Dom497). Another user that would be willing to help with some of the tasks would be helpful. Tasks include making sure recruiters are doing what they should be (teaching!), making sure all recruitments are archived correctly, updating pages as needed, answering any questions, and distributing the feedback form. If interested, please contact me (Dom497).
Nominators, please read this: If you are not interested in becoming a recruiter, you can still help. In some cases a nominator may have an issue with an "inexperienced" editor (the recruitee) reviewing one of their nominations. To minimize the chances of this happening, if you are fine with a recruitee reviewing one of your nominations under the supervision of the recruiter, please add your name to the list at the bottom of this page. By adding your name to this list, chances are that your nomination will be reviewed more quickly as the recruitee will be asked to choose a nomination from the list of nominators that are OK with them reviewing the article.
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me. I look forward to seeing this program bring new reviewers to the Good article community and all the positive things it will bring along.
A message will be sent out to all recruiters regarding the date when the Recruitment Centre will open when it is determined. The message will also contain some further details to clarify things that may be a bit confusing.--Dom497 (talk)
