Hi Ben! Thanks so much for providing input and lending a hand at the Teahouse. Just curious if you'd have interest in being a [[WP:Teahouse/Your hosts|Teahouse host?]]. Teahouse hosts are super important, especially during this pilot period. While answering questions is awesome, we also need help in inviting editors, tracking data, etc. I know it's not the most fun stuff, but, it's a really really important aspect. I hope you'll consider lending a hand! Thanks! [[User:SarahStierch|Sarah]] ([[User talk:SarahStierch|talk]]) 14:22, 11 April 2012 (UTC) |

Speedy deletion nomination of User:Benzband
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on User:Benzband requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Yasht101 :) 08:32, 1 April 2012 (UTC)
- Delete per CSD A1, A2, A3, A4, A5, A6, A7, A8, A9, U1, U2, U3, G1, G2, G3, G5, G6, G7, G8, G9, G10, G11, G12, G20, R2, R3 and R∞. Note this is a cabal request. :-) benzband (talk) 09:37, 1 April 2012 (UTC)
Removing AfD template
Welcome to Wikipedia. Please do not remove Articles for deletion notices from articles, or remove other people's comments in Articles for deletion debates, as you did with General relativity. Otherwise, it may be difficult to create consensus. If you oppose the deletion of an article, please comment at the respective page instead. This is an automated message from a bot about this edit, where you removed the deletion template from an article before the deletion discussion was complete. If this message is in error, please report it. Snotbot t • c » 11:14, 1 April 2012 (UTC)
- Is this bot too fooling people? Yasht101 :) 11:17, 1 April 2012 (UTC)
- I have closed this nomination as purely disruptive, as with an invalid reason and the article being both high quality and valuable it had zero chance of succeeding as you surely knew before nominating it. Please do not make such frivolous nominations again.--JohnBlackburnewordsdeeds 11:30, 1 April 2012 (UTC)

Template Hero
Hey there Benjamin Z. Band, I'm wondering if you'd like to use your template-y knowledge to help me out on a Project. The CVU started an ill-fated attempt reorganization recently, and the only really actionable idea that came out of This discussion was the idea of creating a Counter-vandalism Academy. The idea is, like Admin Coaching had been, to pair seasoned Vets with some wet-behind-the-ears Counter-vandals to help the latter learn the ropes. There are a few Templates that I think would be useful for the project, and I'm wondering if you'd be willing to help us out on that front. Just drop me a line here if you're interested. Cheers! Achowat (talk) 15:41, 5 April 2012 (UTC)
- Sure! I'd be really happy to help on this. What kind of templates? :D benzband (talk) 17:07, 5 April 2012 (UTC)

Missed discussion
- Hi Ben,
- Sorry I did not reply to one of your comments in time to get it included on the project page, but I read many of the comments editors make. I think I could make more valuable contributions if I were willing to devote more time.
- It seems to me that m:The future of Wikipedia link to the "They think they're so clever..." motto is an outdated discussion. Are the participants being offered as examples of dive? The WP:DIVA link contains a photo of Janio Quadros who does not seem to me to have acted as a Diva. He made a failed political maneuver in offering to resign. Still, it is similar to Diva behavior and I cannot think of a better example. I have not run into any dive on Wikipedia so I am not very familiar with the problem.
- Happy editing, Fartherred (talk) 03:25, 7 April 2012 (UTC)
- Hi Fartherred. Here's the motto in full (from Wikipedia:Motto of the day/May 9, 2012) :
→ They think they're so clever, they think they're so right
But the truth is only known by guttersnipe- "They think they're so clever" is the divas and vested contributors, who also "think they're so right". But the future of Wikipedia, however, lies with the new contributors, who will make up the next generation of editors (yes, it may be sad to admit, but at some point everyone ends up leaving WP).
- As for problems with particular essays, i just linked to the best ones i could find. I didn't edit any of the linked pages, either. I am not familiar with Janio Quadros but i'm sure that if you found a better illustration it would be most welcome (especially if he didn't quite act like a diva); and as for the meta page, maybe Wikipedia:WINF or some other page might have better suited. It's a pity that the discussion is now over, as i myself wasn't too pleased with the meta page but couldn't find something more appropriate. Cheers, benzband (talk) 10:55, 7 April 2012 (UTC)

Infobox
Thanks. Brilliant. I get the idea now. It seems I missed out an underscore or too. I'll have a look it it again later and promise I'll get back as time goes along but that was in at the deep end! --Bridge Boy (talk) 18:25, 8 April 2012 (UTC)

About those code tags on the Teahouse
That was a good idea, thanks! I've answered that question a few times on the Teahouse now; I always used to use pre tags, but I dislike they way they break up the paragraphs. Forgot about code tags. I'll have to use that from now on. Writ Keeper ⚇♔ 16:26, 9 April 2012 (UTC)
There are more than 80K unassessed articles about US. I had a idea to start a contest regarding Assessment.
I thought that United States has a good number of articles now and needs clean up.
This will be beneficial for articles as well as editors as they will be able to interact with editors in their country and will learn new things and can obtain a lot of knowledge about their country.
There are similar contest which have been a great success. For e.g.,
- Wikipedia:WikiProject India/Assessment/Tag & Assess 2012 - In this I have made 3280 assessments in total 30K by all editors
- Wikipedia:WikiProject Pakistan/Assessment/Tag & Assess 2012 - I m coordinator even in this and have made 200 assessments for this which in total equal to 800 (This has started 2 days ago so the counter is low)
Though no one has taken interest yet in this contest despite of leaving a message on WP United states' talk page. I have gone to bot request to convey a message. So have to wait or have to convert that project as a failed project.
If you are interested then please let me know. And if you want to take part in its coordination then please tell as I'll need help in coordinating it, because currently I m the only coordinator. Yasht101 13:53, 10 April 2012 (UTC)
- Hey, Yasht! I recently instigated a similar sort of thing at WP:PUNK (see here), so i thought i'd tip you on using {{backlog progress bar}}. Example - for the US, this would be:

- For my part i won't be helping out assess those articles, as i am not involved in any of the projects and am not sure i could furnish good quality reviews… and i have plenty of backlogs needing attention that i'm already (supposedly) engaged with (e.g. WP:WWF and Category:Articles with incorrect citation syntax). Thanks for contacting me though ~ benzband (talk) 16:22, 10 April 2012 (UTC)
