You and Lafairy keep threatening to ban me. Do it! I'm not editing anymore of Wiki's high-school journalism quality writing! |

Revision as of 20:42, 19 July 2013
Input invited
Hi GW. I'm just letting you know that I have mentioned you here. Depending on your available time, perhaps you might be the ideal admin for the situation. You'll need to read the entire thread to get a full grasp of the situation. Cheers, Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 02:44, 9 July 2013 (UTC)
- Yes, I see that. I've been following that conversation, as well as the one on WT's talk page, so I think I'm relatively up-to-date. I have responded there. – GorillaWarfare (talk) 04:28, 9 July 2013 (UTC)

Thank you. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 05:19, 10 July 2013 (UTC)
- You're welcome. Hope you've been well :) – GorillaWarfare (talk) 05:22, 10 July 2013 (UTC)
- Very well, GW. And you? Nice to see you more active these days. I assume that you are on summer break? Cullen328 Let's discuss it 05:38, 10 July 2013 (UTC)
- Yeah, it's nice to be back on the project more. I am on summer break, though I'm also working :) – GorillaWarfare (talk) 05:48, 10 July 2013 (UTC)
- Very cool! I will read the proposal tomorrow, since I am also working. But then again, I work all the time and need to sleep now. Take care. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 06:12, 10 July 2013 (UTC)
- You take care as well :) Say hello to Mrs. Cullen! – GorillaWarfare (talk) 06:27, 10 July 2013 (UTC)
- I read the proposal. I am not a "code monkey" or as in your case "great ape", so I don't understand the intricacies, but it sounds very worthwhile for making more books freely accessible. I am eating lunch with my wife (a rare workday treat). She remembers you from Boston and sends her greetings. She's been editing more lately as User:ChesPal but is nowhere near as addicted as I am. Take care. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 20:26, 11 July 2013 (UTC)

Cockapoo
Hi, I noticed you closed the discussion about excess images appearing in the Cockapoo article - thank you! Please could I prevail on you a little further and ask if, as an uninvolved Admin, you could remove the images that were being debated from the article? They had been left in while the discussion took place. The images are:
- [[File:Eight week old cockapoo.jpg|thumb|Eight week old Cockapoo]]
- [[File:Twelve (12) Week Old Cockapoo.jpg|thumb|Twelve (12) Week Old Cockapoo - Same as above]]
- [[File:Six Month Old Cockapoo.jpg|thumb|Six Month Old Cockapoo - Same as above]]
- [[File:One Year Old Cockapoo.pdf|thumb|One year old Cockapoo - same as above]]
- [[File:Cockapoo in the snow.jpg|thumb|Older Cockapoo in the snow]]
The reason I think it might be better for an uninvolved Admin to do the removal is because, despite being pinged, the Editor (theMastereditor3000) who had been re-adding the pics did not participate in the discussion - possibly because the images remained in the article? - and I suspect the images may once again be put back in once removed. I am not completely familiar with the nuances of 3RR and don't want to risk falling foul of them as I have previously removed the images! Sorry to bother you. SagaciousPhil - Chat 08:31, 10 July 2013 (UTC)
- Sure, I've removed them. – GorillaWarfare (talk) 15:02, 10 July 2013 (UTC)
- Thank you! SagaciousPhil - Chat 15:04, 10 July 2013 (UTC)
Darren Bartlett
Regarding your G11 deletion of Darren Bartlett:
- Nobody had nominated it for deletion.
- The article may have been intended for self-promotion but it was not unambiguously promotional, which is a requirement for G11.
- There was no copyvio. OTRS permission for re-use of material was confirmed, as indicated on the article talk page.
I am also an OTRS volunteer and have been communicating with the author about sources and COI. There have been improvements, but I do agree the article should go. However, I disagree that it qualifies for speedy. It should have been proposed for AFD instead.
I have also posted a query about the notability of the subject at WP:N/N#Darren Bartlett and would like to see some discussion before proposing it for AFD.
Please restore the article for now. I will do so myself in a day or so if you don't get around to it. ~Amatulić (talk) 14:13, 11 July 2013 (UTC)
- I have undeleted for now. I'll let you take the reigns on the AfD, since you said you would prefer to see some discussion at N/N first. – GorillaWarfare (talk) 15:05, 11 July 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks. Do you have any thoughts about what I posted at WP:N/N? It's been waiting around for quite a while with no response. It seems that this noticeboard isn't on a lot of people's watch list. ~Amatulić (talk) 19:15, 11 July 2013 (UTC)
- I think the article should go to AfD. I just don't think all of those trivial mentions are sufficient. – GorillaWarfare (talk) 20:08, 11 July 2013 (UTC)

IRC office hours for wiki-mentors and Snuggle users
Hi. We're organizing an office hours session with the Teahouse to bring in mentors from across the wiki to try out Snuggle and discuss it's potential to support mentorship broadly. The Snuggle team would appreciate it if you would come and participate in the discussion. We'll be having it in #wikimedia-office connect on Wed. July 17th @ 1600 UTC. See the agenda for more info. --EpochFail(talk • work), Technical 13 (talk), TheOriginalSoni (talk) 17:32, 12 July 2013 (UTC)
WP:GOCE Menu
Hi GorillaWarfare,
You may want to view some of the feedback given here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Guild_of_Copy_Editors/Coordinators#GOCE_Menu_Page. Overall (tell me if I'm wrong), this is what appears to be the "to-do" list:
1. Re-structuring page so that it is easily viewable on mobile/tablet devices.
- Solution: [discuss]
2. Images link to tabs (instead of the original photo page)
- Solution:
Done, mind checking?
3. Explanation on the following:
- a. How does the portal appear confusing as it is?
- Solution: As an example, when I work on articles on articles from Category:Wikipedia_articles_needing_copy_edit_from_July_2013 and I need to update my score or navigate to another tab, I spend time searching for the page, scrolling down, etc. I find that the menu allows the user to have a simplified, easy-to-use interface which provides the essential links/information for WP:GOCE.
- b. How would the menu page integrate into the current portal?
- Solution: This would be up to the group to decide how they feel that the menu may best integrate, but I do feel that it would be best to have it as the "front tab/page" so that users can directly navigate to where they want to go. Basically, it's a clear, basic "home screen."
Is it okay if we work on this project here? If not, I can move it to another page if you wish. --JustBerry (talk) 23:52, 13 July 2013 (UTC)
- Sure. The images do appear to be linking to the correct pages, which is good. A few notes: the design still does not work well in mobile view. The icons get pushed way down to below the sidebar, and at resolutions that are less than ~680px wide, you start to lose the sidebar and header. I also feel like you should not rely on users knowing what the large icons mean—there should be some sort of textual explanation. Keep in mind that users on mobile/tablet devices can't hover. – GorillaWarfare (talk) 16:25, 14 July 2013 (UTC)
A cup of tea for you!

2nd Annual Wikimedia New England General Meeting
You are invited to the 2nd Annual Wikimedia New England General Meeting, on 20 July 2013 in Boston! We will be talking about the future of the chapter, including GLAM, Wiki Loves Monuments, and where we want to take our chapter in the future! EdwardsBot (talk) 09:22, 16 July 2013 (UTC)
your username
hello, i could not help but notice your username and wonder, is it a reference to the "Navy Seal/Gorilla Warfare copypasta" internet meme, or did you make it up yourself? you probably get asked this a lot, but i was just curious as to which it is.--174.103.114.44 (talk) 20:52, 16 July 2013 (UTC)
- I wasn't aware there was an internet meme like that. I created it six years ago; it was just something that popped into my head. – GorillaWarfare (talk) 20:54, 16 July 2013 (UTC)
- ah, ok, so it predates it. thanks for the answer!! :D -- 174.103.114.44 (talk) 21:24, 16 July 2013 (UTC)
A barnstar for you!

Thanks, Gorilla, for "unbanning" me from Wiki's help chat room
[User:FrankSanello|FrankSanello]] (talk) 21:20, 18 July 2013 (UTC)FrankSanello {{whisperback}} my username: FrankSanello FrankSanello (talk) 21:19, 18 July 2013 (UTC)FrankSanello
Sorry, Gorilla. I didn't realize Protospam considered my questions disruptive and irrelevant. By any chance were you able to review the transcript of our chat in the help room a few days ago? Protospam determined I was asking irrelevant/disruptive questions there. No one else was complaining. Basically, Protospam told me to "shut up," then blocked me. Thanks, Gorilla, for unblocking me. I'm about to check if I am now able to reenter the Holy of Holies, aka Wiki's help chat room. Danke sehr, muchas gracias, gratia tibi, spacebo bolshoye, merci, mille grazie and half a dozen other languages I speak or read. :) FrankSanello (talk) 21:20, 18 July 2013 (UTC)FrankSanello FrankSanello (talk) 21:23, 18 July 2013 (UTC)FrankSanello
- I suppose I should clarify a little bit: PROMOSPAM performed the initial "quiet", which removes your ability to speak in the channel. I was the one who kicked and banned. If you'd like to discuss the reasoning behind it, I will be happy to discuss it with you on IRC—I have removed the ban in #wikipedia-en-help connect, so you should have no trouble joining.
- As a side note, you do not have to use the whisperback template when you post on other users' talk pages. You also only need to sign your posts once. – GorillaWarfare (talk) 21:25, 18 July 2013 (UTC)
{{help me}} After inserting {{whisperback}} on Gorilla's User talk page, I got an error message saying insert {{whisperback}} in the "first parameter." What is a first paramater? Thanks. So sorry to be a pest, but Wikipedia's formatting is way behind this 61-year-old man's technical abilities! :) FrankSanello (talk) 21:26, 18 July 2013 (UTC)FrankSanello FrankSanello (talk) 21:28, 18 July 2013 (UTC)FrankSanello
- As I mentioned above, you should not leave a whisperback template when you are leaving a message on someone else's talk page. When you leave a message for someone on your own talk page (as I am right now), you would add {{whisperback|userpage name}}. The whisperback I'm about to leave you to notify you of this response will be formatted {{whisperback|GorillaWarfare}}. In general, though, you don't typically need to worry about them. – GorillaWarfare (talk) 21:32, 18 July 2013 (UTC)

It may take a few minutes from the time the email is sent for it to show up in your inbox. You can at any time by removing the {{You've got mail}} or {{ygm}} template.
How do I connect with you on IRC ??? to discuss the reasons you banned me from the help node?
Thanks, Gorilla.
