One of our first tasks is to write the job description of the executive director position, and we are asking for input from the Wikimedia community. Please take a few minutes and complete this survey to help us better understand community and staff expectations for the Wikimedia Foundation Executive Director.
Thank you, The Wikimedia Foundation Executive Director Search Steering Committee via MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 21:48, 1 June 2016 (UTC) Vlad the ImpalerSo, I changed "Both were eventually released in 1448 after six years of "captivity", which in fact was more of an "priviliged" upbringing." to "Both were eventually released in 1448 after six years of "captivity", which in fact was more of a "privileged" upbringing." and you changed it back because I was "replacing one form of English with another" while I'm unfamiliar with the spelling of "priviliged" overseas, I do not think that it should say "an priviliged." it should obviously be "a" and not "an" right?198.148.169.50 (talk) 22:14, 1 June 2016 (UTC)06/01/2016 Get a load of this guy!User:Dr0p th3 pr3ssur3.

Paris Dauphine UniversityReferring to my edit on Paris Dauphine, the statement that it is one of the most selective university in France far from being "promotional", can even be considered as a moderate statement. The truth is that Paris Dauphine University is the only one education institution in France that have both (1) the official status of "Université" and (2) is allowed to select their students at the entrance of its graduate program thanks to its status of "Grand Etablissement". here are some links that can be used as serious source with regards to my statement (the first one being the law that forbids french universities from selecting their students (the only safe harbour being the status of "Grand Etablissement")): http://www.ifrap.org/education-et-culture/universite-francaise-absence-de-selection-et-gratuite For the sake of clarity, please note that Sciences po (IEP Paris) although benefiting from the status of "Grand Etablissement", is not a "Université" (University) but a "School" (Institut ou Ecole). HEC, ESCP Europe, ESSEC, Polytechnique, ENS do not hold the status of "Université" neither but only the status of (School) "Grande Ecole". Université Paris I Pantheon Sorbonne and Université Paris II Pantheon Assas, on the other hand are offical "Universités" and, as a consequence, are not allowed to select their students at the entrance of their graduate programs. All of the above making my statement not only NOT promotional but accurate and true. You could actually after reading the above consider my statement as an understatement of the reality. Thanks for restoring my amendments. A — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alsnoopy (talk • contribs) 13:51, 2 June 2016 (UTC)
I reviewed our guidelines on neutral point of view and promotion, and nothing I did is in breach of the guidelines, as the facts I put were strongly supported by the sources provided, which are considered as authoritative sources. But maybe you are not familiar enough with French language as a proof, you will find from those sources : http://www.letudiant.fr/etudes/fac/portrait-de-fac-l-universite-paris-dauphine-tout-d-une-grande-ecole/universite-paris-dauphine-une-ambiance-entre-prepa-et-grande-ecole.html http://www.letudiant.fr/etudes/fac/portrait-de-fac-l-universite-paris-dauphine-tout-d-une-grande-ecole.html http://www.letudiant.fr/etudes/fac/portrait-de-fac-l-universite-paris-dauphine-tout-d-une-grande-ecole/universite-paris-dauphine-des-etudiants-tries-sur-le-volet.html
You will also find below a first link redirecting to the evaluation made by the AERES which is the FRENCH STATE AUTHORITY in charge of the evaluation of French higher education institutions in which you can find in the conclusion p.27: "(L'Université Paris Dauphine) dispose d’atouts pour prétendre à ce statut : une notoriété établie, du moins en France, dans les milieux académiques et professionnels ; une forte intégration dans les réseaux professionnels sur différents registres ; des équipes de recherche reconnues ; des outils et des savoir-faire pédagogiques performants ; une culture de l’esprit d’entreprendre - L’excellence du corps enseignant ; - des équipes de recherche de très grande renommée (le CEREMADE, l’UMR Recherches en management) ; - des formations professionnalisées, des débouchés professionnels, des relations étroites et constructives avec les entreprises grâce à une perception très positive de l’université parmi ces dernières ; - la formation continue et l’apprentissage ; la pédagogie en petits groupes.", which means that Paris Dauphine benefit from a strong reputation well established, at least in France, among the academics circles and professionals circles, a good integration in the business networks, a renown research team, very efficient educational tools, and a culture of entrepreneurship spirit -excellent professors - highly renown researchers - teaching that fit the expectation of the business world and very close ties with the business world - teaching that can be in full time or in apprenticeship and that are give in small groups We will both agree, dear Amccann421, that due to the quality of the source, it shall be considered as an authoritative quote. The second link is in English and is the description given to Paris Dauphine University by the Stern Business School of New York University: "Paris-Dauphine prides itself on its selectivity while favoring equal opportunity; maintaining academic and research excellence; promoting an open and international outlook and educating students to constantly broaden their point of view. Université Paris-Dauphine is constantly moving ahead." http://www.aeres-evaluation.fr/Etablissements/UNIVERSITE-DE-TECHNOLOGIE-EN-SCIENCES-DES-ORGANISATIONS-ET-DE-LA-DECISION-DE-PARIS-DAUPHINE http://www.stern.nyu.edu/portal-partners/current-students/undergraduate/study-away/semester-away/international-business-exchange-program/partner-schools/universite-paris-dauphine Having said that, I will be grateful, Mr Amccann421, if you could go back on your previous inaccurate statement saying that my facts were not supported by the given sources. Maybe the style could be improved but the facts were accurate and backed by solid sources. Nevertheless, could you explain me why the facts I put (which are considered as common knowledge in France and which are perfectly supported by some sources issued by the State Authority having mandate for the evaluation of educational institutions) were considered by you as advertising and non neutral while on HEC wiki page you are totally fine with that kind of statements: "HEC Paris or école des Hautes Etudes Commerciales de Paris is a European business school located in the southern suburbs of Paris, France. HEC is the business school of ParisTech and is considered one of the most prominent business schools in the world.[3] It was ranked as the best business school in Europe seven times in the eight-year period between 2006 and 2013 in the Financial Times ranking, and ranked second in Europe in 2014[4] Among the most selective French grandes écoles, and traditionally seen as the most prestigious French business school,[5] HEC offers its flagship Master in Management" or on University Pantheon Assas: "Panthéon-Assas University has always been ranked first in law in national rankings[1] and calls itself "the top faculty of law in France".[2] with the reference redirecting to the university website: "http://www.u-paris2.fr/52966480/1/fiche___pagelibre/&RH=ACCUEIL_FR&RF=ACCUEIL_EN" or on Science PO "The Paris Institute of Political Studies (French: Institut d'études politiques de Paris, French pronunciation: [ɛ̃stity detyd pɔlitik dəpaʁi]), simply referred to as Sciences Po (French pronunciation: [sjɑ̃s po]), is an elite public research and higher education institution in Paris, France." So the only reason I see, for this difference of treatment, is that I am newly registered in wikipedia, and in this case, this kind of reaction would not be very accurate and not be good for the well-being of wikipedia website. Having given you all these authoritative sources, not restoring my amendments would be an arbitrary decision making wikipedia appears as an arbitrariness encyclopedia website, which we would both agree, is not what we aim to obtain. I would then be grateful if you could come back from your decision and restore my amendments. Thank you for your time and your consideration Mr Amccann421. Kind regards, A Jamie Lynn SpearsHey it's JLSpearsWatson I recently changed something on the Jamie Lynn Spears page which you deleted. My only change was changing her name from Jamie Lynn Spears to Jamie-Lynn Marie Spears. I added her middle name. How is that incorrect? http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1086604/bio You'll find in my reference that her birth name is Jamie-Lynn Marie Spears.

If I am not wrong, he provided a source which proved that he was convicted by a judge on rape. Unless I am mistaken, BLP does not mean that bad things about a person can never be written. I believe that bad things that are verifiable and backed up by cold-hard facts can be written. As he has been convicted by a competent court, it is verifiable in my opinion. I am not here to support the IP or proclaim that he is right to propose/create these articles or that it was right to edit war. I am here to discuss with you whether BLP is applicable in this instance. I personally think that you are more experienced and a much better editor than I am, hence I am seeking your expert guidance for my own knowledge. 108.162.157.141 (talk) 07:46, 5 June 2016 (UTC)

WTF?Aside from Chesky, this brilliant, totally accurate, definitive list of Jews also includes (non-Jews) Samantha Power and Reid Hoffman. Are you saying we should list Irish Catholic Irishwoman Samantha Power as Jewish also just because she's on this list? Then start with her page. Dohodho (talk) 23:08, 6 June 2016 (UTC)
How many errors does that Forward page have to make before it becomes unreliable? Give me the number. I want the number of errors that page has to make before it becomes unreliable. Tell me that number. BTW, it doesn't even strictly speaking call any of them Jewish. Now why don't you go to Power's page and change her religion from "Roman Catholic" to "Judaism". Brian Cheksy is the grandson of Harry A. Chesky and Gladys Dylewicz, who were Polish Catholics, and of Nicholas H. Campese and Anne L. Campana, who were Italian Catholics. There's only one outcome to this, and that is Chesky not being listed as Jewish (unless he converts some day, of course). That's the only way this ends. Do you really want to waste your time delaying the inevitable? Dohodho (talk) 22:39, 7 June 2016 (UTC)

Hasty taggingThis tag was applied too hastily. You tagged the article for deletion barely 2 minutes after its creation. It is often the case that new users will drop some minimum text on a page in order to "reserve" the page (unnecessary of course, but a common newbie mistake). They will then spend time creating the fuller content. That process might take a few minutes. In general, it's a bad idea to tag an article for anything other than copyright or attack page violations prior to 15 minutes after their creation at least. Tagging sooner than that is seen as bitey and discourages new editors. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 17:57, 8 June 2016 (UTC)
Extremely Weird HappeningSo, I was doing my usual new page patrol with page curation, like you do, and I edited a page at the same second you did, and both of our edits showed up. I deleted mine, and went to see your profile. We'er both extended confirmed, both have usernames starting with an A, and both are two of the three people with the Gary Johnson userbox on our user pages. This is insanely weird.

If you have any questions about its authenticity, I have added a source at the bottom. Could you please consider adding it. The Early Attempts that are present on the page are truly incomplete without my modifications, which totally indicate that the Bhaskaracharya of 12th century had a good knowledge of a number divided by zero, better than Mahavira and Brahmagupta.
