WikiProjects you might be interested in

Hi Anne, we have something called WikiProjects in Wikipedia. They are groups of people that share similar interests and work together to improve Wikipedia on specific subjects. I think it would be great if you introduce yourself and join us at WT:OPERA and WT:ONTARIO. You may want to check WP:TORONTO as well. —Ahnoneemoos (talk) 03:26, 1 January 2013 (UTC)

I've just seen this helpful suggestion, and thought I'd add to it: you may also be interested in The Guild of Copy Editors. David_FLXD (Talk) 04:31, 1 January 2013 (UTC)

Toronto Light Opera Association

Hi Anne: I've made some changes to the article (plus see my comments when saving) to bring it more in line with the WikiProject Opera guidelines.

A few things to be aware of:

1. We use the international day-month-year format. I don't know if you are in Canada where they tend to use the intenational standard I think, though yours look more like y-m-d. So more work is needed.

2. Re: Wiki-linking: unless there is an article on someone notable, lots of red links look pretty bad, sop best not to include them - until, that is, you write the articles!!

3. Use "External links" rather than pop these things into odd "Notes" somewhere.

All the best, and welcome to Wikipedia! Viva-Verdi (talk) 02:37, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

I was the one that created the red links, per WP:REDLINK. =P —Ahnoneemoos (talk) 03:35, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

Re: protocol for responding to messages on your talk pages

There's no rule about how to go about this process. Either way works and it is your choice as a user.

However, the best way to deal with this is by responding on your own talk page and then posting on the user's talk page to let him know that you replied to his message on your own talk page.

We have a template that helps with this process at {{talkback}}

Here's what you should do:

1. Reply to the user on your own talk page.
2. Create a new section on the user's talk page with the header Re: subject of conversation and the body:

{{talkback|User talk:Anne Delong}}
~~~~

This would leave the following on the user's talk page:

Hello, Anne Delong. You have new messages at Anne Delong's talk page.
You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.

your signature would be here automatically

Hope this helps.

—Ahnoneemoos (talk) 15:56, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

By the way, whenever you have any questions like this feel free to ask them at the WP:TEAHOUSE ! :D —Ahnoneemoos (talk) 03:26, 4 January 2013 (UTC)

Your recent edits

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You could also click on the signature button or located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when they said it. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 20:04, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

Anne, please go Special:Preferences and copy the following code into the Signature textbox that appears there:

—[[User:Anne Delong|]] ([[User talk:Anne Delong|talk]])

and then click Save at the bottom.

Now, whenever you leave a message on a page make sure you add four (4) tildes at the end, like this:

~~~~

For some reason our automated robots are not detecting your signature. This should fix it.

Presentations before the organization became the Toronto Light Opera Association

Hi: In response to your question, while I've done a lot of work on opera company articles, I've never come across the situation which you describe. However, I see no reason for not including those shows, especially as you have the source of the info to link to.

Under "Productions" you could have an introductory paragraph which lays out the pre-history and name the shows, or you could note it in the intro para.

Hope this helps.

PS: Why is there a complete duplication of shows produced, one in a paragraph form, the other a return to the list? Depending upon how much you intend to write about each production, you could flesh out the paragraphs, one for each, which would a lot more encylopedic than a list of titles. Viva-Verdi (talk) 22:16, 4 January 2013 (UTC)

It wasn't me that added the list of titles underneath. However, organized information is a lot easier to scan and read (and to insert references!) than paragraphs. I am slowly finding information about the productions; one of the newspapers involved has not been indexed or scanned. What I'd eventually like is to have a paragraph for each production with a year and title as a heading for each paragraph. That will be a compromise between the two formats. —Anne Delong (talk) 23:42, 4 January 2013 (UTC)

Tea

Wikipedians also recommend biscuits with tea.

ukexpat (talk) has given you a cup of tea. Tea promotes WikiLove and hopefully this has made your day ever so slightly better.

Spread the WikiLove by giving someone else a tea, especially if it is someone you have had disagreements with in the past or someone putting up with some stick at this time. Enjoy!

Spread the lovely, warm, refreshing goodness of tea by adding {{subst:wikitea}} to their talk page with a friendly message.

Congrats... You asked an awesome question in the Teahouse!

Hi! Writing a new article is a challenge, and adding pictures can make that twice as complicated. And yet, here you are, kicking off a great career (ok, hobby) as a Wikipedia editor. Thanks so much for seeking out help at the Teahouse and for sharing your appreciation with the Teahouse hosts. Not everyone acts so thoughtful in seeking and accepting help, but you did. Thanks for doing that!

	Great Question Badge

Report on a National Bank

I recently made a request for this new article Report on a National Bank, and wrote the material. I blush, but I was confused by my sources, and this is actually an alternate name for the Second Report on Public Credit. The "Report on the National Bank" needs to be removed; it is a duplicate article. The editor who presided over the original request - "Bonkers" - has not responded to my talk messages.

Can you assist me on this matter? 36hourblock (talk) 16:36, 30 January 2013 (UTC)

Actually, the material for the article is fine, and has been used to update the article that exists, Second Report on Public Credit. Not a problem. And my thanks for your kind help. Best, 36hourblock (talk) 19:37, 30 January 2013 (UTC)

A bowl of strawberries for you!

I've seen your contributions and attempts to understand policy and process, and you seem to be coming along leaps and bounds. I see a lot of editors struggle at new pages or Articles for Creation, or give up after one article, so it's really good to see someone stick at it and really make those of us who guide new editors feel we're doing something worthwhile. Maybe we'll see you commenting on WP:ANI soon. Actually, scratch that - that's a terrible idea.... Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 22:18, 30 January 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for your comments! I contacted the guy who had written the obituary, hoping to get him to continue the edits.

Copyright violations

I've seen you point out various copyright violations at the AfC help desk. Thanky you very much. But I wonder whether it wouldn't be easier if you just nominated the infringing pages for speedy deletion yourself. Of course you're welcome to go through the help desk and have someone else do the deed, but it's not required. Huon (talk) 15:27, 10 February 2013 (UTC)

Dear Huon: I am a fairly new editor. The first couple of times that I found copyright problems I asked about them at the Teahouse, and it's a good thing I did, because they gave me good advice, such as comparing dates in the page history to find out which text was the source and which was copied, and checking whether the whole block of text appeared at once. I have now started tagging pages from the new page feed, and will only bring them to the help desk if there's something I don't understand.

However, I've been warned that I shouldn't interfere with the Afc review process in any way that the user might blame me for the article not being accepted. Because of that I was hesitant to put a deletion tag on one of these articles; I figured the people at the help desk were the reviewers and might not notice the copyright problem. If marking Afc pages for deletion is acceptable, I will be glad to do it directly. It's not like I won't have other questions to ask at the help desk! —Anne Delong (talk) 20:23, 10 February 2013 (UTC)

You've shown good judgement in the past, and have several months of experience including multiple new articles to your credit - in my book that's by far enough to not consider you a "new editor" in this regard. Besides, it's not as if you directly delete the drafts - even if you were in error (and I haven't yet seen an erroneous report from you), there's still the admin who should check before deleting. At worst you might end up with angry users' comments on your talk page a la "Why did you tag my article for deletion?" and would have to point them towards WP:COPYVIO. Huon (talk) 21:23, 10 February 2013 (UTC)

That remind me, I have another question that I've been meaning to ask someone. It seems like the Teahouse is really aimed at brand new editors. The hosts there are very helpful, but I wonder if they prefer that people ask their questions somewhere else once they aren't new any more. If so, where would that place be? —Anne Delong (talk) 21:49, 10 February 2013 (UTC)

We have an all-purpose help desk for editing questions. That might be what you're looking for, though the Teahouse hosts certainly won't complain if you continue to ask them, either. Huon (talk) 22:10, 10 February 2013 (UTC)

Teahouse Birthday

Hi Anne! We are having some birthday celebrations as Teahouse turns 1 year-old next week. You're one of the most active and passionate editors I've seen come through the project. I was wondering if you might reflect a bit on your experience at the Teahouse and how it's shaped your growth as a new editor. I'd love to have your responses to any of these questions, possibly for a Wikimedia Foundation blog post which will run on the big day.

1. How did you find the Teahouse? What were your first impressions?

A: Another user posted an invitation on my talk page. I found it helpful right away, with friendly yet helpful advice.

1. What do you like best about the atmosphere at the Teahouse?

A: Everyone tries to put a positive face on the problems presented, even though the hosts must be tired of seeing the same problems go by time after time. I liked the straightforward way that the hosts let me know what was acceptable and what was not.

1. What experience, interaction, guest, or host stands out for you as a highlight?

A: I liked the straightforward way that the hosts let new editors know what was acceptable and what was not, without looking down on anyone for being ignorant. It's been a pretty positive experience.

1. What has the Teahouse enabled you to do that you might not have done without it?

A: As a librarian and computer programmer I am used to material that is logical and arranged according to a preset plan. Wikipedia is more like a village where the roads have grown in random directions because that's where the first people happened to walk. The Teahouse helped me get past that until I could see the underlying infrastructure and the people that are gradually article by article pulling it toward a cohesive whole.

1. What do you hope for the Teahouse as she continues to grow up?

A: I hope that the teahouse hosts keep up the good work, and attract more super-friendly people to help out. What goes around comes around! —Anne Delong (talk) 21:43, 20 February 2013 (UTC)

Thanks so much for your awesome contributions to the project, Anne. Really exciting to watch. Cheers, Ocaasi ^{t | c} 20:28, 20 February 2013 (UTC)

Dixie Flyer (disambiguation)

Hi Anne, I have slightly rearranged the DAB page that you created so that the layout is more in line with MOS:DAB. I really have to compliment you on how quickly you have got to grips with how Wikipedia works, excellent stuff! If you ever need help, please don't hesitate to leave a message on my talk page.--ukexpat (talk) 18:09, 6 March 2013 (UTC)

Thanks again, Ukexpat. The page looks good. My background as a librarian and computer programmer has undoubtedly helped, but the Teahouse hosts have probably saved me at least half of the time that I would otherwise have needed to find the right information. As is to be expected from something that "jest grew", Wikipedia seems to be a giant kludge. I find myself much more patient with its wild and woolly organization than I would be with a commercial product with the same design.

I do have a question about Wikipedia. I'll ask you instead of at the Teahouse since it's not something that beginners would need to know. I was following some of the discussion about the gender gap, and I found this page Wikipedia:Database reports/User preferences, and I have a couple of questions about it. First, is there a reason that the gender category has Male and Female, but no Undisclosed category? I have a feeling that more women then men would be undisclosed, just from fear of cyberbullying, so I was interested in what percentage of users actually selected a gender in the User preferences. Also on that page in the section with languages, I see en-gb and en-ca, but I couldn't spot which category the American editors would fall into. Do you know? —Anne Delong (talk) 20:57, 6 March 2013 (UTC)

I sympathise! The editing interface is clunky but the WikEd gadget helps. I would try enabling it in your Preferences-->Gadgets if you haven't done so. Twinkle and NavPopups are also invaluable in my experience. I know the techies are working on WYSIWYG interface, so if that works it will make things even better. As for Wikipedia:Database reports/User preferences, I am afraid I have no clue! I see that you asked on the talk page but it does not look very active. Maybe the folks at WP:VPT can shed some light on it?--ukexpat (talk) 21:29, 6 March 2013 (UTC)

Bearfoot

Anne, thank you for the feedback. I am not much into bluegrass, in fact I only like Bearfoot and The Duhks. However, I like Wikipedia, and try to help keep articles correct, expand them as necessary, and in a few cases, create articles for musical groups or albums where no article exists. I am glad that you have adopted bluegrass bands as one of your interests and are working on improving them. Mburrell (talk) 09:01, 7 March 2013 (UTC)

Reply at the AfC help desk

Hello Anne Delong, I've replied to your query at the AfC help desk. I must apologize for my comment regarding the copyright violation - notifying others is helpful, but there's simply no need to ask others to tag what you've identified as a copyright violation - tagging it yourself would probably be easier for everybody, including yourself. So please don't take my comment the wrong way, and keep up the good work! Yours, Huon (talk) 18:00, 23 March 2013 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: User:Mohammad sameer hussain/sandbox

Hello Anne Delong. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of User:Mohammad sameer hussain/sandbox, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Not an article, A3 doesn't apply. Thank you. ~ Amory (u • t • c) 01:41, 25 March 2013 (UTC)

Well, what's the best way to get rid of this article for creation, which has only a title, and the title is on the blacklist, so I can't move it to the article name? —Anne Delong (talk) 01:50, 25 March 2013 (UTC)

I'd manually decline it as empty (done by Amory) and then ignore it. Technically you could have the page deleted via Miscellany for deletion, but I don't think that's worth the effort. Huon (talk) 02:14, 25 March 2013 (UTC)

Thanks again. —Anne Delong (talk) 02:17, 25 March 2013 (UTC)

Yup. Also, what blacklist? ~ Amory (u • t • c) 15:16, 25 March 2013 (UTC)

When I tried to move the page in to the Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation section, the move page said that it could not move it because the page name was blacklisted. I presume that there had been trouble with someone in the past trying to repeatedly recreate an article with that name, but this is only my first day reviewing so I had never seen that message before. —Anne Delong (talk) 15:23, 25 March 2013 (UTC)

Ah. It didn't say it was blacklisted, it said you couldn't do it. That's because the user had the draft in his sandbox, and titled "sandbox". When you tried to move it to project talk space, you couldn't because the default would have been Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/sandbox. That already exists, and you can't move a page to the same title as another page unless someone deletes the target first. What I did was simply change the name inside the "move" box. ~ Amory (u • t • c) 15:29, 25 March 2013 (UTC)

No, that is not the situation. I am familiar with the sandbox thing; I've moved sandbox pages lots of times, and this time the message was different. It definitely had the word "blacklist" in it. It was even a different colour. That's why I backed off and tried to get rid of the page without moving it. I see that you didn't have any trouble, and I can't explain it. Maybe I mistyped the title. —Anne Delong (talk) 15:52, 25 March 2013 (UTC)

Huh, beats me then! If you see that again drop me a line, I'd be curious for sure. ~ Amory (u • t • c) 16:20, 25 March 2013 (UTC)

Well, it happened again, and this time I copied the text of the message. Here is is: "User:Fcojdelucas/MARTIN MAZZA" cannot be moved to "Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/MARTIN MAZZA", because the title "Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/MARTIN MAZZA" is on the title blacklist. If you feel that this move is valid, please consider requesting the move first. -- I have left it alone in case you wanted to try it. I just clicked on the little move link in the big yellow box. One thing I notice is that in both cases the title was all capital letters. —Anne Delong (talk) 23:53, 25 March 2013 (UTC)

Sorry. An edit summary got me interested and after talk page stalking I wanted to investigate the error, but instead of the error replicating, it just moved without any warning or blacklist message. Maybe a post to Village pump technical is warranted.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 00:08, 26 March 2013 (UTC)

Right, duh. All caps. Anything with 9+ is disallowed. Sorry, should've seen that. Here's the regex FYI if that's your sort of thing: .*\p{Lu}(\P{L}*\p{Lu}){9}.* ~ Amory (u • t • c) 15:11, 26 March 2013 (UTC)

Errr...

Can't be as famous as I thought I was... I'm glad to know you don't know about DustCoveredSoul, as that means there are at least two of us. I vaguely remember seeing it at CSD, but don't think I did anything to it, and certainly haven't asked about it. I've just tried to find it in deleted articles, but may not have the spelling right. (I am an admin, you see, or was last time I looked...) Just Googled - punk band. I might have deleted it. There were a couple of no-hopers and one or two more. (Had one the other day that had actually written a song but were still looking for a bassist... I presume the song had a bass line so they couldn't go any further.) I've a feeling you messaged the wrong person, but if you find the right spelling or tell me who posted it, I'll let you know what was in it. 8-) Peridon (talk) 21:39, 26 March 2013 (UTC)

Oh, dear, I'm sorry. I received an e-mail which I misunderstood. On reading it more carefully, I realize that it was from a user DustCoveredSoul, who was looking for an article called Lay Renewal Ministries, which you apparently deleted, to add an external link (I'm sure the article needed another one...). I have been reviewing articles in the Afc since yesterday, so maybe I had something to do with it; I don't remember. —Anne Delong (talk) 22:09, 26 March 2013 (UTC)

Ah. Not a punk band. That one's a Christian thing which either didn't show any notability or was a copyvio, I think. Can't find it - yes I can. Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Lay Renewal Ministries. Copyvio of http://layrenewal.wordpress.com/about/ and didn't look particularly notable or well referenced in RS anyway. Ah well. We both now know that DustCoveredSoul is also a punk band, but nothing to do with this query... I did do the deed. You had tagged it. They just flow by, don't they? Some days, anyway. Other days they fight... Peridon (talk) 22:30, 26 March 2013 (UTC)

I've been picking off all of the articles that haven't been moved to Articles for creation and moving them, because I notice that the sandboxes and user spaces are being picked up by one of the mirror wikis, and some of them really shouldn't be out there. When I can't do the move it's usually because there's a duplicate. It also means I'm looking at mainly brand new editors. —Anne Delong (talk) 14:00, 28 March 2013 (UTC)

Why?

I was making a Wiki page for my Social Media Class, and I am just wondering why my page was declined? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sgriffth (talk • contribs) 20:02, 29 March 2013 (UTC)

(talk page stalker)It was declined because it didn't cite reliable sources that are independent of the subject. Furthermore, it is not written in an encyclopedic tone - it even mentions "Our meetings" and "our website". On top of that, virtually all of the draft's content was copied verbatim from the organization's website - a {{WP:COPYVIO|copyright violation]]. I've thus tagged the draft for speedy deletion.

AfC help desk

While you are of course welcome to use the AfC help desk (don't worry about being a "pest"; we encourage asking when in doubt!), there's also a dedicated talk page for reviewers and project members at WT:WikiProject Articles for creation. It's a little more behind-the-scenes and may be better suited to questions about reviewing, as opposed to questions by prospective authors. Once again, I really appreciate your work; I'm too lazy to do much reviewing myself... Huon (talk) 20:16, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

??? Well, so far my experience with Wikipedia is wandering around randomly until I bump into someone like you who tells me something useful. Thanks! —Anne Delong (talk) 20:25, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

AfC March drive

I've noticed that you forgot to add your name to the March drive page. Since you were not a member of the project when the drive started, you probably missed the announcement, but you already helped a lot so I I think you should add your name.

• You can create your sub-page from here. Just add the line "== Checked reviews ==" to the sub-page to create it.
• You can add your name to the Totals section from here. The line should be
  "====[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/March 2013 Backlog Elimination Drive/Anne_Delong|Anne Delong]] ===="
  
• You can add your name to the AfC Buddy participants list from here so that your list of reviews are automatically generated when that tool runs. The line should be
  "* [//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Articles_for_creation/March_2013_Backlog_Elimination_Drive/Anne_Delong Anne Delong]"

Thanks for the heads up. Could you please check and see if I have done it properly? Thanks. —Anne Delong (talk) 16:04, 31 March 2013 (UTC)

It looks ok, you didn't need to add your reviews though, since you added your name to the AFCBuddy participants list, AFCBuddy will generate the lists on your behalf when its author runs that tool. Nimuaq (talk) 20:51, 31 March 2013 (UTC)

Well, it seems that the drive is over now, but I am not sure how to have my edits counted. Do I add the numbers manually to the Totals section? —Anne Delong (talk) 01:50, 1 April 2013 (UTC)

A semi-automated tool will count it for you, and update that page, you don't need to add them yourself. Nimuaq (talk) 04:28, 1 April 2013 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for March 31

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Paniyiri Greek Festival, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Musgrave Park (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
