Hi Coren. The Arbcom has passed a motion asking me to use widely available English sources (fine), or use foreign sources with the assistance of a mentor [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration/Franco-Mongol_alliance#PHG_is_required_to_provide_a_means_for_the_Community_to_verify_his_sources.]. My foreign sources would be in French (mainly) and in Japanese (a bit). Do you confirm your agreement to assist me as a mentor? As the mentor is supposed to be approved by the Arbcom, do you know through which process we can officialize that? Best regards [[User:PHG|PHG]] ([[User talk:PHG|talk]]) 04:36, 29 April 2008 (UTC) |

:Certainly. As for the process, I think just asking is quite enough. I'll set up a page where we can work and list sources as soon as they okay your selection of mentor, okay? — [[User:Coren|Coren]] <sup>[[User Talk:Coren|(talk)]]</sup> 12:32, 29 April 2008 (UTC) |

- If you have copied text to which you own the copyright: Please read the guide to donating your own copyrighted material to Wikipedia. Note that, in addition to copyright requirements, the article must still comply with notability guidelines, advertising prohibition and avoid conflicts of interest.
- If you have been given permission to reuse someone else's text: Please read the guide to requesting and formalizing permission to use copyrighted works on Wikipedia. As above, the article must still comply with notability guidelines, advertising prohibition and avoid conflicts of interest.
- If you were attempting to rename an article or create a disambiguation page: Compliance with the GFDL requires that the article be actually moved rather than copied with cut-and-paste to preserve editing history. Please tag the new copy with
{{db-move}}
and an administrator will be able to assist you.
- If the original source was itself a copy of Wikipedia text: Reusing the text is probably okay, but make sure you link back to the original article to comply with the GFDL. If the site CSBot found is a Wikipedia mirror, you may want to notify me so I can add it to the list for the future.
- If the original source is in the public domain: Reusing the text is okay, but you almost certainly want to attribute it with an appropriate template (such as
{{DANFS}}
or{{1911}}
); this will cause CSBot to leave the article alone.- If you did attribute it with an appropriate template, but it was still flagged as a copyvio, then it's probable the bot does not know the template you have used. You might want to tell me on this page so I can add it to the list.
Otherwise, remember that text found on other web pages is copyrighted by default. Unless there is an explicit permission on the page (or site) allowing reuse without conditions (or under the GFDL) you can not use that text in a Wikipedia article!
Thank you!

Since Lane Bryant, Inc. and Lena Himmelstein Bryant Malsin are two seperate entities, I split the page. I also added more information from other sources (such as the census). betselu 2-4-08

A page that I sincerely wanted to contribute on the subject of SNK Boss Syndrome was contested, do to nonsense belief that it is similar to another page Igniz. I don't understand why, for I believe that my information is completely different and somewhat original. Can someone plese help me? I truly don't understand the lingo and boundaries of wikipedia.

I recently editted the summary of Finding the Fox, which was at that time part of the aricle on the Shapeshifter series. When I had completed my editting, I realised that the summary was far too long not to be in an article of its own. I therefore created one. However, before I could remove the version of the summary from the Shapeshifter article, I recieved a complaint from Coren that my summary appeared to be a copy of the Shapeshifter article. I have since removed the summary from the Shapeshifter article, and the only version of it now exists in the Finding the Fox article. I apologise for any inconvenience I may have caused.

ANI redux
Hi Coren,
You might recall our discussion a few months ago about changing the way ANI works: converting it to an RfA-like or AfD-like transcluded list. It seems to me it failed mostly because people wanted to be able to watchlist one page, and see all the changes that were made to all the threads. I’ve been thinking, and I think we could actually solve that objection. Not only that, I think we can also improve on the current situation, where long threads are shunted off to subpages, which no longer show up on the watchlist. Seems win-win to me, but I’d like a bot person’s opinion.
How hard would it be to have a bot post a null edit on the new, improved ANI (I know, not really a null edit, but adding a harmless space) every time someone made an edit to any of the active subpages?
For example, EditorA posts a new thread at the bottom of ANI. ANIBot-I notices this, and creates a subpage with an appropriate header, moves the text to the subpage, and replaces the text on ANI with a transclusion of the new subpage. EditorB clicks on the [edit] button on ANI (just like now), but this takes him to the subpage, where he makes his edit (just like RfA and AfD currently). ANIBot-II notices this, and makes a null edit in the appropriate section of the main ANI page, with the edit summary “EditorB: (insert their edit summary here)”. EditorsC thru M do the same thing, and ANIBot-II does the same thing. EditorN, who watchlists ANI and not the subpage, notices all the action, leading her to go to that section to see what the fuss is about (just like now). She can see the thread on ANI (just like now). She can edit the thread by clicking [edit] (just like now). Everyone is happy.
Now, say the thread gets so long, it’s starting to make ANI difficult to load. ANIBot-III notices this, and when a subpage gets to be a certain size, it doesn’t transclude it on ANI anymore, it just replaces it with a pointer to the subpage (just like now). However, ANIBot-II still does its thing on the ANI page, so people watchlisting ANI still get their notice that there is activity on the subpage (which is one of the main reasons people disagree about the current subpage setup; the lack of notice on the main page that a subpage is active). Everyone is happy.
Meanwhile, EditorO links to the discussion on a talk page or edit summary somewhere. He links to the subpage, so the link will never break. If he makes a mistake and links to WP:ANI#2008-04-23 Admin abuse, then a year from now when EditorP runs across the link, there’s no searching through the archives looking for the thread; it’s always going to be at WP:ANI/2008-04-23 Admin abuse. Just replace the # with a /. Everyone is happy.
Once a day, or twice a day, or continuously, when ANIBot-IV notices that there has not been an edit made to a subpage in X hours, it removes the transclusion on WP:ANI, and adds a link to WP:ANI/Archive/2008-04. That’s it, no copy-paste archiving. History remains with the discussion. No one needs to know what day an article was archived to find it. No links are broken. If we want, the bot could also add archive tags to the discussion, to prevent further edits. Or, depending on what people want, it could leave the subpage unarchived, and just relist a subpage on ANI if further discussion ever occurred; i.e. threads never truly close. Or, if people want, it’s much easier to manually archive a thread early; add the archive tags to the page, remove the transclusion, and you’re done. Everyone is happy.
The only remaining weakness I see is the rather heavy reliance on bots (although you probably think of this as a plus ;) ). But if the bot goes down, ANI doesn’t seize up or anything. Discussion still goes on in the subpages, and experienced people can move new topics to subpages themselves. The only critical thing you lose when the bots go down is the update to the main ANI page. Life would go on.
Much of this is just a consolidation of stuff you’ve already worked on, or stuff that’s already been discussed. The only thing that's new (and I don’t know how feasible it is), is the ANIBot-II and ANIBot-III work. In particular, how feasible would it be for the bot to watch not only all “active” subpages, but “all” subpages, so that edits to dormant subpages can be dealt with?
What do you think? I have to run, but am very interested in what you think about the feasibility of a watchlist bot. I'll check in later. --barneca (talk) 14:27, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
- Sorry to harrass you; if you don't have time/desire to comment that's fine, just checking if maybe you didn't notice/forgot about this, and I think your archive bot is going to nuke it tomorrow. Just a brief "no comment" would let me know to bug someone else. --barneca (talk) 14:23, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
Summarising evidence
I'm sorry, it may take a while to do so. If you let me finish getting it all together first, it'll then be easier to spot what's redundant and can be cut down, but I'm trying to point out editing trends, which is difficult, and which I can only manage to do, at least in the first draft, if I'm precise and put things forwards in a way I can understand.
That said, I really don't se how I'm supposed to demonstrate complex behavioural evidence, including POV-pushing and trends in behaviour to the Arbcom in a mere 1000 words, and it's not going to shrink down substantially and still give the necessary context. Can we ignore all rules in this case, so long as I keep it focused, on-topic, and stick strictly to presenting evidence? In the end, my "Job" here is to present, to a group which it's reasonable to presume have no experience in reading scientific papers in the main, that Ullman is consistently misrepresenting studies. This basically requires a walk-through, not diffs. Shoemaker's Holiday (talk) 01:52, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
Merging articles.
I was caught by your bot merging the stub articles Ashburnham and Penhurst into a new civil Parish article Ashburnham and Penhurst. Reading the comments on your page, I see I probably should have done some moving first. Question is, what should I do now? I do not want to expand the article then have it all wiped because I did not follow procedure. MortimerCat (talk) 12:21, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
- nb Someone has since added the {{R from merge}} template. MortimerCat (talk) 17:11, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

Hello Coren,
What should I do with this message? I am a representative of Semperviva.

Help please
I made two moves before realizing that I did not use the right prodedure. One is at http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=A%CE%B4_fiber&redirect=no, which I copied-cut and redirected to an existing, more elaborated page, A delta fiber, leaving behind the history page. The other is at http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=McGill_pain_index&redirect=no, which I copied-cut and redirected to a page that I created McGill Pain Questionnaire, leaving behind discussion and history pages. I took care to make the required corrections to redirect links, but would like to resolve also the pages left behind. What should I do? --Robert Daoust (talk) 17:08, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
- That requires an actual move, which now can only be done by an admin since there is something at the destination. I'll have a few minutes to handle it in a bit unless someone else notices and does so first. No worries. — Coren (talk) 17:41, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
I took the tag off the article - I was using PACSOA as a source, but not the only one, and I hadn't finished. Think you'll find its ok now. Impressive stuff - nice work!! Kahuroa (talk) 11:27, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
I have removed the tag placed on the page from your CorenSearchBot. The information I used for my page came from the 47th Fighter Squadron Fact Sheet which is public domain information. It is likely that the page your bot cited took its imformation from the same source I did. Please let me know if you have any questions.Ndunruh (talk) 18:32, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

Mentor
Hi Coren. The Arbcom has passed a motion asking me to use widely available English sources (fine), or use foreign sources with the assistance of a mentor [1]. My foreign sources would be in French (mainly) and in Japanese (a bit). Do you confirm your agreement to assist me as a mentor? As the mentor is supposed to be approved by the Arbcom, do you know through which process we can officialize that? Best regards PHG (talk) 04:36, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
- Certainly. As for the process, I think just asking is quite enough. I'll set up a page where we can work and list sources as soon as they okay your selection of mentor, okay? — Coren (talk) 12:32, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
