I'll concede that TAP beat me if that will get you to stop wasting time validating his entries.

Integrative Neuroscience Research Program

User:John r smythies left this text at Integrative Neuroscience Research Program

--starts-- 03:45, 31 October 2015 Casliber (talk | contribs) deleted page Integrative neuroscience research program (G11: Unambiguous advertising or promotion)

My proposed Wikipedia article on the Integrative Neuroscience Research Program (INRP) was recently deleted by a Wikipedia editor because it was deemed “advertising or promotional not encyclopedic”. However, I would argue that this might not have been appropriate because INRP is not a commercial or political enterprise selling a product, but a scientific learned society with the goal of improving our scientific understanding of the world. I would suggest that it is thus not promoting itself but it is promoting good science. Therefore, I suggest, it should be judged by the same criteria as other similar scientific bodies, such as the Royal Society, or the Royal College of Physicians, both of which have Wikipedia entries. --ends--

I suggest you refund the article to Draft:Integrative Neuroscience Research Program where any problems can be worked on. I have notified the editor.

All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 20:01, 31 October 2015 (UTC).

There is a *chance* that Persoonia terminalis was Wikipedia's 5 millionth article. Still checking. We're discussing in IRC channel #wikipedia-en – Fuzheado | Talk 12:36, 1 November 2015 (UTC)

I might have agreed with that sentiment had it been someone else who created that article. But given that it was one of the rather small pool of people who not only create a lot of articles, but also take them to FA, it's fitting. Guettarda/Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 13:08, 1 November 2015 (UTC)

@Ian (Wiki Ed): I never said the article or creator were in any way a bad choice. However, Casliber is not being singled out for his FA achievements in this case, nor would mine have been relevant – or yours. I much prefer "Wikipedian of the Day" style community-driven awards if there must be such a thing, but unfortunately the media don't care about those. I'm not sure that being driven by what the media wants to see or hear is necessarily a good thing. Samsara 13:18, 1 November 2015 (UTC)

Congratulations, Casliber! There must be a joke here about "shrubbery" but it's not coming to me right now. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 18:06, 1 November 2015 (UTC)

(wakes up and goes to computer instead of coffee maker) – ummmmm....a quote. I want to impress (I guess) how much detail is still out there in the world around us and can still be written readily. I would suspect that almost all of the stubs I began last night could be improved to GA and FA status. So the point is if the 5 millionth article is an article such as this.....we still got loads to do. This was one reason I rekindled the stub contest too and one reason I like WP:DYK (and yes I know that process has its down sides but I think the positives out weigh the negatives). It's all about the writing (by everybody) and making stuff to read for the world – telling stories about real-life things that you can read...and letting your mind wander. E.g. The derivation of Persoonia from Christiaan Hendrik Persoon...or this plant that was found between Torrington, New South Wales and Emmaville, New South Wales...or that it was named by Lawrie Johnson and Peter Weston. There are all stories there (and more to write too.). It's all about the detail and what people can soak up. Wikipedia provides an opportunity to make sense of chaos and a great bridge between information for laypeople and detailed scientific information for enthusiasts and professionals, and hopefully help upskill several hundred thousand interested readers in the meantime. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 19:47, 1 November 2015 (UTC)

PS: This is what I had written some time ago and anyway ask away if folks can't get it:

Think of a main street in the suburb where you live. Now try and list all the attributes you can think of about that street; shops, funny houses, broken streetlights, working streetlights, cracks in the footpath, no parking zones, residences, opening hours of shops, cross-streets, schools etc. You should be up to a few hundred items of information. Now think of other streets in your suburb, then other suburb. See how much you remember (alot, isn't it?) My take on this is you don't have to be some child prodigy to remember prodigious amounts of information and we can all be alot more knowledgeable than what we are. Unfortunately alot of what is written or produced for television or other media is really dumbed down to some imaginary lowest common denominator

2015 GA Cup Wrap-Up

WikiProject Good Articles's 2015 GA Cup – Finals/Wrap-Up The second-ever GA Cup is now over! The competition officially ended Thursday. Congrats to everyone who participated, and especially to our finalists. The winner of the 2nd GA Cup is Zwerg Nase! He earned 408 points, over 100 points more than he earned in all previous rounds. He tied with our second-place winner, Sturmvogel 66 with 367 points, in number of articles reviewed (24), and they earned almost the same points for reviewing articles that were in the queue the longest (Zwerg with 322, Sturmvogel with 326). Basically, they tied in points, but what made the different for Zwerg was the advantage he had in reviewing longer articles. It seems that the rule change of earning more realistic points for longer articles made a difference. All of our contestants should be proud of the work they were able to accomplish through the GA Cup. Congrats to these worthy opponents! Our third and fourth place winners, Johanna and Tomandjerry211, also ran a close race, with 167 points and 147 points respectfully. We had one withdrawal; we found it interesting that competitors dropped out in Round 2 and 3 as well. One of the original judges and co-creator of this competition, User:Dom497 stepped down as judge during Round 3; as stated previously, we will miss his input and wish him the best. The judges were pleased with our results, even though fewer users competed this time compared to our inaugural competition. We recognize that this might be due to holding the competition during the summer months. We intend on looking more closely when we should conduct this contest, as well as other aspects of the GA Cup. We've set up a feedback page for everyone's input about how we should conduct the contest and what rule changes should be made. If you have any ideas about how we can improve things, please visit it and give us your input. Again, thanks to all and congratulations to our winners! Please stay tuned for the start of GA Cup #3.

Cwmhiraeth (submissions) came in second place; she earned by far the most bonus points (4082), for 4 featured articles, 15 good articles, and 147 DYKs, mostly about in her field of expertise, natural science. Cas Liber (submissions), a finalist every year since 2010, came in third, with 2379 points.

Our newcomer award, presented to the best-performing new competitor in the WikiCup, goes to Rationalobserver (submissions). Everyone should be very proud of the work they accomplished. We will announce our other award winners soon.

A full list of our award winners are:

• Godot13 (submissions) (FP bonus points) wins the prize for first place and the FP prize for 330 featured pictures in the final round.
• Cwmhiraeth (submissions) wins the prize for second place and the DYK prize for 160 did you knows in the final round (310 in all rounds).
• Cas Liber (submissions) wins the prize for third place and the FA prize for 26 featured articles in all rounds.
• West Virginian (submissions) wins the prize for fourth place
• Calvin999 (submissions) wins a final 8 prize.

• ThaddeusB (submissions) wins the news prize for the most news articles in round 3.

We warmly invite all of you to sign up for next year's competition. Discussions and polls concerning potential rules changes are also open, and all are welcome to participate.

I'd like help in making Beaumont children disappearance a FA or OTD candidate. Can you help me? Paul Benjamin Austin (talk) 00:30, 16 November 2015 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

	The Editor's Barnstar
	I've read some of your amazing work on Wikipedia. ...one more barnstar to add to your astounding collection. Many thanks for such wonderful contributions. Natalie.Desautels (talk) 18:43, 16 November 2015 (UTC)

Request for review – your kind expert advice would be greatly appreciated

Hello @Casliber:,

My congratulations on your fantastic achievements here at Wikipedia! I have very much enjoyed your writing, and interesting collaborations. (I sent you a much deserved barnstar to add to your collection : ). @Checkingfax: has spoken highly of you.

Several editors and myself have created an article on classical and flamenco guitar, atonal music in general and on internationally renowned Canadian guitarist Michael Laucke in particular. I very much enjoyed contributing about several hundred hours of research. We've made over 1000 careful edits, about half of which are the incredible work of @Checkingfax:, and over 20 other editors have also helped. We used LDR (List-defined references), and there are over 100, all carefully researched for verifiability and are good according to reFill and Proveit.

I am wondering if—In striving really hard for a neutral point of view, have we made it acceptable to Wikipedia but boring? Are the sections in the best order? ...and so on. My hope for the Michael Laucke article is to get an English version with improved syntax and style, smoothness and readability; indeed, this would be most inspiring for the translation and re-working into other language versions. I am a "Polyglot" (multilingual). So after this English version is perfected, I will have the pleasure of creating at least French and Spanish ones.

I know time is always too short on this our mortal orb . Could you take a moment to give me some feedback; even a quick glimpse would be appreciated. My goal is to make it better, and I love to learn. We would like to strive for GA status, but the "grade" is not so important to me, neither is credit in any way; creating the best an article can be is important. I am a perfectionist from birth, it would seem...

I do hope that this might interest you, that I have piqued your curiosity and that you can help us make a better version.

Kindest regards, Natalie --Natalie.Desautels (talk) 19:41, 16 November 2015 (UTC)

P.S. I am pinging several editors who have showed interest in improving this article, just to keep them in the loop; hope it's non-intrusive. @Robvanvee, Checkingfax, GrammarFascist, Bgwhite, and Vipinhari:

perspective

Hello again, User:Casliber, you mentioned on User:Dennis_Brown's usertalk that you might consider a third go-round as arb, if you felt your particular perspective was necessary/missing/useful.[3] Since there are a few hours left in the self-nom window, I was wondering if you could be nudged? I am quite lazy when it comes to the fine art which can be found in DYK/GA/FA segment of the wikiverse, so I don't think I've run across you myself before, but when Dennis Brown recommends you, that carries a ton of weight, in my book. I've also skimmed your edit-stats and found good things, which helps. But the key was something else. Plenty of people working in the top-end quality realm can be short and cryptic with even the good-faith beginning editors; that truly annoys me, when I see a pattern. I didn't have time to check all your edits (not sorry!) so I cannot say you've never had a bad day, but I did a spot check, and found this – Talk:Major_depressive_disorder/Archive_12#Prognosis. To closely paraphrase a silly puppet, but with 100% sincerity, I can honestly say it's times like these that I'm proud to be a wikipedian. In two sentences, you carefully explained the wiki-policy ("must be able to be" is infinitely better than the imprecise "must be"), noted the extant body-prose, and yet made the person feel good about their talkpage post, and happy they attempted to contribute to wikipedia. Would that arbcom cases, or even just regular editing in contentious articles, worked like that more often. It may seem a small thing, but those 43 words you wrote on a talkpage back in 2012 – after 100k edits plus serving twice as an arb and half a decade as an admin all of which ought to have made you jaded and permastressed – seem like they give insight into what kind of arb you might be, if you will please run again. 75.108.94.227 (talk) 03:08, 17 November 2015 (UTC)

I dunno...try being a parent of teenagers or manager in the workplace....it's like being an arb...but more intense. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 04:26, 17 November 2015 (UTC)

• If I had it to give, I would run to offer a choice to voters, but this is the worst year I could consider it due to personal issues. Of course, there is no guarantee I would have succeeded anyway. I tried to recruit a few truly worthwhile admins for the job, but I can hardly blame them for not wanting to take the plunge. I think that you running does offer the community a real choice and enough experience to help steer things back on track when there is a risk of getting derailed. It's an unappetizing prospect in many respects, but I appreciate you taking one for the team, and at least offering the community a valid choice. Dennis Brown – 2¢ 10:35, 17 November 2015 (UTC)

Generally about this time of year I double check what's happening. I felt good about who ran last year, so didn't run, which left me time to concentrate on other stuff. We'll see. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 10:40, 17 November 2015 (UTC)

Bot automation at Wikipedia:Today's articles for improvement

Greetings WikiProject TAFI members!

Over the past two weeks, there has been extensive discussion on introducing bot automation to assist with maintenance of the Today's Articles for Improvement project. A bot has now been approved for trial and will carry out the weekly duties. The bots first run will occur around 00:00, 22 November 2015 (UTC) (midnight on Sunday).

If you have been assisting any of the weekly maintenance tasks, please refrain from doing so this week. The bot needs to be tested and proven it can do the job, and it only gets one chance per week. The tasks will include:

• Adding the new scheduled article to Wikipedia talk:Today's articles for improvement and removing the entry from Wikipedia:Articles for improvement
• Set up the schedule pages for the new TAFI, except the adding of an image and caption
• Adding {{TAFI}} to the new article for improvement, remove {{TAFI}} from last week's article and add {{Former TAFI}} to the talk page
• Notify relevant WikiProjects that the new TAFI is within their scope
• Send a mass message to everyone on the notification list of the new TAFI selection

Updating the accomplishments and archiving selections is still done manually, along with daily tasks such as adding approved entries to the articles for improvement page. These will become automated in the near future.

We hope the bot proves to serve well, and by carrying out the routine housekeeping tasks we can boost the overall efficiency and effectiveness of the project. MusikBot thanks you for your service in helping with the weekly tasks in the past, and for your cooperation during this trial period :)

E and F

You can't come out of the blue with arbitration proposals against E and F. They haven't had a chance to tell their side of the story. They may not have been following the case. You have to go to their talk pages and start at the beginning. Show the diffs and ask them to explain. If the response is not satisfactory commence dispute resolution. You don't drag them in the back door of somebody else's arbitration. That's a power grab. Jehochman ^Talk 03:09, 23 November 2015 (UTC)

Well, obviously one would give them as much notice as possible yes. But at the end of the day arbitrators are elected in the hope they can be impartial and also that they will recuse if they might be involved. So 'entrapment' is presuming that both those steps fail. How would dispute resolution deal with (say) recurrent misrepresenting or faking of sources or removal of content or socking for that matter? Or doxxing off-wiki etc. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 03:42, 23 November 2015 (UTC)

Go find an uninvolved administrator to look over the evidence and see if they will issue a block. Walk a mile in the shoes of the ordinary editor. ArbCom is to hear the case presented, not go hunting for targets of opportunity. Jehochman ^Talk 04:54, 23 November 2015 (UTC)

You mean like AE is full of admins willing to help out in difficult and controversial areas? When was the last block you saw for (for instance) below-the-acute-radar-POV-pushing? Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 05:01, 23 November 2015 (UTC)

@Jehochman:, alright, I'll tell you what – should I be in a situation sometime in the next two years (should I be elected), I will alert you (if you are uninvolved) and you can tell me how you'd proceed. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 09:19, 23 November 2015 (UTC)

Yes, I understood the danger of commenting, and agree to your terms. If one says how things to be done, one is effectively volunteering. Doing standard admin duties and backing them up with evidence as needed is easy enough. One problem with AE is that it has gotten so very bureaucratic that most admins won't touch it with a barge pole for fear of forgetting to give the proper sequence of warnings or failing to log something the right way. Most of us don't have that much time to learn the detailed enforcement minutiae. When common sense is insufficient, people lose interest. Jehochman ^Talk 15:16, 23 November 2015 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Opera

To not make the arbcand questions longer than they are, I suggest we chat here. Do we agree that if project opera has a policy of variation – some articles with side navbox, others with infobox – we do not need a Wikipedia-RfC to decide for operatic articles? {{infobox opera}} was introduced in 2013, and not welcomed by all, to put it mildly, but has more than hundred inclusions by now, including all operas by Verdi and Wagner. Can we also agree that the historic side navbox serves no purpose for the reader where a bottom navbox is present, as for that Joseph? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:40, 23 November 2015 (UTC)

The answer to the first is "no". Look at bird capitalization. Sooner or later if there are differing styles and people on a bad day there will be a clash. Folks can complain about it all they want but we need a comprehensive MoS. FFS we are trying to make something that looks uniform...I will look at the various boxes later. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 19:20, 23 November 2015 (UTC)

Some articles having an infobox, others not is not comparable to bird capitalization, – it's not a style question, but a content question. When the template was introduced, there was a minority of articles using it, naturally. As long as a transition is not performed by a bot but us humans, and some authors "refuse" (as you termed it), there will be no uniformity, but it seems no problem. We can't oppose any progress because some will "refuse" ;) – I voted for you, btw, – this is just for better understanding. And don't be afraid that I will need your service in clarification requests. If I won't be blocked for disruption the next week I should be free again, imagine ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:22, 23 November 2015 (UTC)

Your candidacy

I read your statement in the current Arbitration Committee election. What you said earns my respect and support. I can relate to dealing with a few users who wish to twist content to promote views that are not correct. I once wrote an article about a right-wing video documentary that for a time was widely viewed and I tried to show its content in an objective way. I originally went to graduate school to be a journalist, but ended up with a Ph.D. in history. I have written a number of things, including books. Anyway, I requested admins to consider providing partial protection for my article, as persons incensed that I did not sing praises to the video made totally unwarranted changes. I finally gave up when nothing was done and the edits made deleted objective reviews of the video. This resulted in the article being tagged for deletion. I told what had happened in the deletion discussion and the article, which had become trashed, was deleted. To add insult to injury those who made unwarranted changes to the article were sometimes personally insulting to me in Wikipedia and through other online sources. No one trying to write an objective article should be subjected to this. Anyway, I still write and edit in various Wikimedia areas. Bill Pollard (talk) 07:42, 26 November 2015 (UTC)

The page was "written in an objective and unbiased style, free of puffery.” (Wikipedia:NOTFORPROMOTION) If you disagree, I'm happy to consider revisions to it to make it comply with Wikipedia' standards. Since it's deleted, please let me know if I can provide you with the content so that you can comment on it. Josserroll (talk)

Ok – I have userfied it. Generally wikipedia is besieged by articles like this, so you wanna make it comfortably qualify. I have put it at User:Josserroll/CEO Connection to work on. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 19:58, 4 December 2015 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of User Josserroll

Hello Casliber,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged User Josserroll for deletion, because it doesn't appear to contain any encyclopedic content. Take a look at our suggestions for essential content in short articles to learn what should be included.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. ubiquity (talk) 20:10, 4 December 2015 (UTC)

No, thanks for that, that was a goofup on my part and I didn't realise it. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 01:05, 5 December 2015 (UTC)

Regarding Francis Kodankandath

I can see the page is currently cannot be edited. Tried to add some details, based on current developments in a case he is involved, but that contents were keep removing. It is with enough proof and citation, but still getting denied. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Puthenmadom (talk • contribs) 11:52, 5 December 2015 (UTC)

Hi. I know you've commented on this article before on WP:BLP issues. Currently there is a discussion on the Talk page about whether to expand the description of the doughnut licking incident to include alleged spitting. Please take a look at the discussion and see what you think. Please weigh in either way with your take on it. All the best! – Ssilvers (talk) 01:47, 8 December 2015 (UTC)

@Ssilvers: sorry, missed this post in all kerfuffle. Will take a look. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 22:18, 9 December 2015 (UTC)

Paisley Shawls deletion

Hi there, just wanted to say thanks for trying to save the Paisley Shawls deletion – it was created as part of an editathon at which I was training, and if I'd seen that it had been nominated for deletion I would have come by and helped out, sadly I was at work at the time that it was deleted. Quite disappointed! Is there any way that I can undelete and address the copyright infringement issue, or should I just recreate/encourage the recreation of the article with it written more in her own words? I'm a Wikimedian in Residence at Museums Galleries Scotland. Lirazelf (talk) 13:08, 8 December 2015 (UTC)

Ah, you're a star, thank you kindly! Lirazelf (talk) 11:11, 9 December 2015 (UTC)

Case Closed

Regarding your closing statement at Case Closed[4], you wrote: "...it is not clear that the legal expression wouldn't warrant a page either". How is that issue relevant? Isn't that pure speculation either way? What we know is that there is no such article currently. Isn't that all that matters? Remember, WP:PRIMARYTOPIC is a sub-section of WP:D, which is about disambiguating titles of articles that are on WP, not potential ones that maybe might be at some unspecified time in the future. Amakuru addressed this quite clearly in the discussion ("WP:PRIMARYTOPIC concerns itself with disambiguating concepts that actually have articles here on the Wiki, not day to day life.") You seem to have ignored this point. Why? If you could explain your thinking on this, that would be very helpful, especially in light of your other statement there was no consensus "by argument". That would be true if you gave much weight to the WP:CRYSTALBALL speculative and totally unsubstantiated argument about the legal expression maybe warranting an article, but on what grounds would you do that? Thank you. --В²C ☎ 23:23, 8 December 2015 (UTC)

I am not sure how I can make it clearer about the legal phrase unless you are being obtuse. Regarding primary topic, the first note is "There are no absolute rules for determining whether a primary topic exists and what it is; decisions are made by discussion among editors" – and there is discussion about different methods yielding different results -see Farix's oppose in the discussion. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 00:41, 9 December 2015 (UTC)

Just because there are no absolute rules does not mean you can make any rules you want out of thin air, which you apparently did. If I'm mistaken about that, please cite basis (besides "there are no absolute rules") for considering uses of a term that do not have articles on WP when determining WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. This is perhaps not totally unprecedented, but it is highly unusual. --В²C ☎ 01:17, 9 December 2015 (UTC)

Don't cherrypick. It's about the film as well. Furthermore WP:PRIMARYTOPIC doesn't specify whether they have to have existing articles as of right now. So I didn't make up any rules. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 01:38, 9 December 2015 (UTC)

Cherrypick? What do you think I'm cherrypicking? Anyway, the first line of WP:D states quite clearly: Disambiguation is required whenever, for a given word or phrase on which a reader might search, there is more than one existing Wikipedia article to which that word or phrase might be expected to lead. The whole issue of disambiguation, and by extension primary topic, is not even applicable unless there is more than one existing WP article for the given term. In this case there are two existing WP articles, the Manga series which we're considering, and the film which everyone admits is obscure. There should be no question about primary topic. The legal expression is completely and totally irrelevant. You cite Farix, who claims "page article traffic statistics cannot be used" because there were no other articles named "Case Closed" on WP. That's absurd, which I pointed out in my !vote comment (which you also ignored). For any given name (like "Case Closed") there can only be one article with that name. That's no reason to not use article traffic statistics. We use article traffic statistics in Primary Topic determinations all the time – that's how we know the film in this case is obscure. Should we discount article traffic statistics in deciding whether Paris is truly the primary topic for "Paris" because there is no other article named "Paris"? What nonsense. I really don't want to put the community through the whole hassle of Move Review, but I have to say your decision is that flawed. When the primary topic is so obvious it really shouldn't be a dab page. It's just confusing. Please reconsider. --В²C ☎ 02:20, 9 December 2015 (UTC)

Look, no consensus to move =/= consensus not to move. If you find any admin that would close that RM as a consensus to move, I'd be very surprised. I'd argue the manga was very obscure. List as a move review if you want. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 02:25, 9 December 2015 (UTC)

@Casliber: if your close was a "no consensus", as you say, then the outcome should have been a move of the page from Case Closed (manga) back to Case Closed. The present situation came about because of a bold move made a few weeks ago; the long term location of this page, and hence the default outcome for a no consensus, was at Case Closed. Thanks  — Amakuru (talk) 10:18, 9 December 2015 (UTC)

@Amakuru: good point, in which case framing this as a simple requested move was incorrect. I will reframe it. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 10:27, 9 December 2015 (UTC)

@Amakuru: can you fix the redirects? Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 10:37, 9 December 2015 (UTC)

Which redirects do you mean? Retarget those pointing to Case Closed (manga)? Thanks  — Amakuru (talk) 10:45, 9 December 2015 (UTC)

Yeah, just any that were created by the move. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 12:00, 9 December 2015 (UTC)

Hey Cas, I've actioned your close of this to procedurally revert to the status quo by moving the manga to Case Closed and the dab to Case Closed (disambiguation). Hope I haven't been too presumptuous. My thanks for closing a discussion that had been lingering in the backlog too long, and best of luck on ArbCom! Cheers, Jenks24 (talk) 11:43, 10 December 2015 (UTC)

Thanks – that was clever of me (not) to forget about moving the goddamn page....Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 13:09, 10 December 2015 (UTC)

DYK request

Cas Liber, I was wondering if you could do a couple of things for me.

First, swap the second hook in Queue 3, Aucanquilcha, with the second hook in Prep 4, Toshiko Yuasa. The Toshiko Yuasa hook is a special occasion hook (she was born on December 11), but would only appear on the main page at 21:00 on December 11, Japan time. It would be much better if it appeared at 09:00 Japan time that day, which means Queue 3.

Second, if you can promote Prep 2 to Queue 2, that would also be great. Once you've done that, I can realign the preps and queues so that their numbers are the same. (When Victuallers moved Queue 1 to Queue 3 so that the Ada Lovelace hooks could be in Queue 1 (as you promoted them a couple of hours ago), it got the numbering out of whack; that's why I want to do the realignment, especially with the Sinatra centennial hooks coming up for Preps 5 and 6.)

Thanks for anything you can do! BlueMoonset (talk) 02:18, 9 December 2015 (UTC)

I knew I'd forget something: when Toshiko Yuasa gets moved into Queue 3, you'll then have bios in slots 2 (Toshiko Yuasa), 3, and 5. It might make sense to swap slots 3 and 4, and slots 5 and 6, so that you don't have two bios in a row anywhere. But it's entirely up to you. Again, many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 02:39, 9 December 2015 (UTC)

It looks like Gatoclass has taken care of the Prep 2 to Queue 2 promotion, so it's just the Toshiko Yuasa swap into Queue 3 that remains, plus the resulting bio swaps after that, if you want to do them. Again, I hope all is well. Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 05:11, 9 December 2015 (UTC)

Ok @BlueMoonset: done now. I was beginning to load hooks but my time is better spent writing and reviewing I think....Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 13:02, 9 December 2015 (UTC)

Thank you so much. I think you're right about stopping loading preps: we have several people who can do that, but only a limited number such as yourself who can promote preps and fix queues. BlueMoonset (talk) 16:11, 9 December 2015 (UTC)
