Happy New Year, and welcome to a special double issue of Books & Bytes. We've included a retrospective on the changes and progress TWL has seen over the last year, the results of the survey TWL participants completed in December, some of our plans for the future, a second interview with a Wiki Love Libraries coordinator, and more.

The Wikipedia Library completed the first 6 months of its Individual Engagement grant last week. Here's where we are and what we've done:- Increased access to sources: 1500 editors signed up for 3700 free accounts, individually worth over $500,000, with usage increases of 400-600%
- Deep networking: Built relationships with Credo, HighBeam, Questia, JSTOR, Cochrane, LexisNexis, EBSCO, New York Times, and OCLC
- New pilot projects: Started the Wikipedia Visiting Scholar project to empower university-affiliated Wikipedia researchers
- Developed community: Created portal connecting 250 newsletter recipients, 30 library members, 3 volunteer coordinators, and 2 part-time contractors
- Tech scoped: Spec'd out a reference tool for linking to full-text sources and established a basis for OAuth integration
- Broad outreach: Wrote a feature article for Library Journal's The Digital Shift; presenting at the American Library Association annual meeting

Hi
Hi, im GenericBobJoe, you sent my IP address a warning for vandalism, the page that I apparently vandalized said the vandalism was in 2007. I got the computer with this IP last year, and I don't think teaneck is gay. I seriously do not know why this is happening. You should TempBan me from editing for now, maybe one day, and i'll see what's wrong with this computer. If this keeps happening,or if you might know anything about this, please reply. -GenericBobJoe

Your comment
I saw the comment in your edit summary regarding BMK. My intent was to AGF, that this is the Eureka moment. I understand the frustration in worrying that someone doesn't "get it", but I can only suggest to not worry about it until there is evidence that the problem still exists. Blocks will increase then. As an editor also, I'm aware of the dread of WP:CTDAPE. Feel free to ping me if you see that warring is still an issue. Regards.—Bagumba (talk) 04:07, 20 October 2015 (UTC)
- Bagumba, let's see what happens; Maybe he's actually learned a lesson, or maybe he's learned that with enough tendentious wikilawyering you can get away with anything. I agree about the possibilities of WP:LASTCHANCE, but it seems that BMK must have several hundred feet of rope with which to do the job by now. Alansohn (talk) 04:12, 20 October 2015 (UTC)
- I can't speak to any free passes he may or may not have gotten in the past. Looking at the block log, I see that they stayed at 24 hours for longer than I would expect before they escalated recently, but I'm not familiar with the details. Hope for the best, but be prepared for the worst.—Bagumba (talk) 04:25, 20 October 2015 (UTC)
- Bagumba, 3RR is intended to be a bright line rule. The clear 3RR violation at Union Square, Manhattan was followed that same day by a more egregious eight revert violation at Anna Politkovskaya. By using BLP to muddy the waters at the Politkovskaya article, User:Beyond My Ken was successful in baffling the masses with bullshit and convincing those unaware of his history and the details that the issue was BLP when the real issue was edit warring; mixing in some shameless personal attacks only aggravated matters. BMK seems to have learned nothing from his previous blocks, and the problem seems to be getting worse as time goes by. Compliant (and often negligent) administrators look at his rampant excuses and give him yet one more free pass after another. Each additional Get Out of Jail Free card only further emboldens one of Wikipedia's most abusive and disruptive editors. Alansohn (talk) 20:23, 21 October 2015 (UTC)
- Agree, I've blocked editors that hadn't hit 3RR when they should have known better. I wasn't involved before here, and I'm wary to block when many days have passed and presumably an editor has learned. Hopefully it's resolved, if not the next offense should be harsher. Time will tell.—Bagumba (talk) 20:30, 21 October 2015 (UTC)

Please note that removal of a warning notice from your talk page is considered to be evidence that you have read the warning.
I would strongly suggest that you [A] Follow consensus as detailed if relevant RfCs and avoid exhibiting WP:IDHT behavior regarding the interpretation of same, and [B] avoid any further WP:NPA violations.
I would prefer that this end now rather than escalating and ending at WP:ANI but if it does, we will be examining the following:
- Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Alansohn
- Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Editing of Biographies of Living Persons#Alansohn
- Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Editing of Biographies of Living Persons#Alansohn restricted

- Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive863#New Jersey is NOT owned by one editor
- Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive866#Bullying, intimidation, and ownership of articles
- Block Log
Given the above, as well as a detailed look at your edit history, it is likely that you will end up with a lengthy block or topic ban.
Again, I advise you to cease engaging in personal attacks so we can put this behind us. --Guy Macon (talk) 05:08, 26 October 2015 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Willingboro High School. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:
- Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
- Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. 331dot (talk) 13:06, 29 October 2015 (UTC)
- I don't know who is right and who isn't, but I would suggest that instead of warning the other person whom you have a dispute with, you request help for this situation at somewhere like the Incidents board. 331dot (talk) 13:29, 29 October 2015 (UTC)
- Running to ANI when the other party hasn't been clearly warned is the worst possible thing to do in dealing with malicious edits like these. Given the evidence of a pattern of harassment and hounding, a rational party will find a way to end the problem, while a problem editor will persist. The editor here has been provided that opportunity. Alansohn (talk) 13:36, 29 October 2015 (UTC)
Keith Botsford
Hi Alansohn, I hope this finds you well! We crossed paths several times in the past. I'm not around here much lately and I don't have a lot of time to commit to building articles, but I ran across something that may be in your wheelhouse. The above article was tagged with a notability maintenance tag, which seems to have spooked the original author and she is second-guessing whether the subject deserves an article. She proceeded to delete portions of the article, which is what drew my attention. See User talk:Angelacarolf for my question and her reply. I think the subject is close to notable, and perhaps with a little more building-out the article could clearly satisfy the notability guideline for authors, academics, or both. But at this point I wasn't comfortable removing the maintenance tag. Can you take a look and see what you think? Regards, Accurizer (talk) 01:43, 30 October 2015 (UTC)
- I haven't seen you around for quite a while. This is an article that makes a clearly credible claim of notability, and has lots of material to support the claim, but needs a lot of work on sourcing and restructuring. I will see if I can devote the time to this article, but I will keep an eye on the article regardless. Alansohn (talk) 03:57, 30 October 2015 (UTC)
Much appreciated! Nice to touch base with you again. Regards, Accurizer (talk) 02:36, 31 October 2015 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Winkelvi. I noticed that you made a comment that didn't seem very civil, so it has been removed. Wikipedia is built on collaboration, so it's one of our core principles to interact with one another in a polite and respectful manner. If you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Moronic? Please dial it down. Disagree, fine, but don't make those kind of statements. Especially in edit summaries where they can't be deleted or stricken. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 23:46, 31 October 2015 (UTC)
- You are surely not a moron. However, the application of WP:DENY to remove sourced content is patently moronic and blatantly disruptive. Deal with it. Undo the damage, not your perception that you were insulted. Alansohn (talk) 23:50, 31 October 2015 (UTC)
-
- There's no perception of being insulted, there is, however, evidence that you repeated your personal attack four times. Like I said, disagree with my reasoning, that's fine. Just, please, dial it down. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 23:54, 31 October 2015 (UTC)
- You have deliberately disrupted Wikipedia to take your revenge out on a blocked user. WP:DENY is a mere essay that should never be used as a pathetic justification to remove sourced content. Anyone using WP:DENY as an excuse to blindly revert content doesn't belong in this encyclopedia. Alansohn (talk) 23:58, 31 October 2015 (UTC)

Please do not attack other editors. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Last time I'm going to ask you to stop the personal attacks in edit summaries. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 23:59, 31 October 2015 (UTC)
- Your actions were blatantly disruptive and using an essay as an excuse for this disruption is inexcusable. Imagine if you had stay cool and hadn't decided to delete material from the encyclopedia. Look in the mirror and stop blaming others for the problems you caused. Alansohn (talk) 00:03, 1 November 2015 (UTC)
