First, you'll note that all the project titles have now changed to the Page Curation prefix, rather than having the New Pages Feed prefix. This is because the overarching project name has changed to Page Curation; the feed is still known as New Pages Feed, and the Curation Toolbar is still the Curation Toolbar. Hopefully this will be the last namechange ;p. On the subject of the Curation Toolbar (nice segue, Oliver!) - it's now deployed on Wikipedia. Just open up any article in the New Pages Feed and it should appear on the right. It's still a beta version - bugs are expected - and we've got a lot more work to do. But if you see something going wrong, or a feature missing, drop me a note or post on the project talkpage and I'll be happy to help :). Thanks! Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 00:07, 10 August 2012 (UTC) An invitation for you!
We are still trying to get the project going. Perhaps you can be of help to us. Happy editing! AutomaticStrikeout 02:57, 10 August 2012 (UTC)

No offense.On User talk:Belchfire, you wrote, "No offense meant to Still, I believe it could have been written better..." No offense taken; I didn't write it in the first place. I just found better citations and therefore restored it. Even if I had written it, I would have to agree that there's room for improvement, so I don't oppose constructive edits to make the language a bit cleaner.

Re: WikifyThanks for the heads up. That's actually a very interesting proposal, but I won't comment there as I have no strong opinion on the specific proposal. What I do feel though is that it's a bit cosmetic, as right now even in drive months we get as many new articles that need wikification as we can wikify. Therefore I believe that we need to focus our energy on approaching the whole class of such articles—determining what's common to most/all of them, adding more internal links to these articles so they are noticed and naturally handled by more editors, engaging editors who write low quality articles in good faith and try to get them to write better articles, deleting really bad articles, etc. Not sure it would work any better though. Hopefully new tools for patrolling new articles are deployed soon to make it easier for patrollers to weed out the really bad articles from the start.

I am concerned that this would make you a biased administrator, which is why I oppose such a position for you. Still-24-45-42-125 (talk) 02:02, 11 August 2012 (UTC)
WikiProject Wikify and the future of wikificationHi!

However, please take care with reports and make sure that they have been sufficiently warned before making AIV reports as in this[2] situation. It's always preferable to resolve conflicts through discussion (which is what happened in this case) rather than a block. Thank you and hope to see you around more.

Rollback?Hi. :) Sorry for being all non-techy and everything, but I can't quite follow this. You saw something in an edit summary and it accidentally rolled back tons of edits?

AutomaticStrikeout 01:47, 14 August 2012 (UTC) The life of the TeahouseHi Ryan! I just wanted to clarify a little regarding your comment in the discussion about HostBot. "Aside from this trial, doesn't the Teahouse have an expected shutoff date for research analysis to be done? If that is the case, could the bot continue to run through that date." I wasn't sure if you were referring to the bot trial or to the Teahouse. If you do mean the Teahouse, happily the trial is over! The report was (very) good, people are enthusiastic about the Teahouse and it is here to stay for the foreseeable future. I also suspect that research will be happening for a long time, too. (Tons of credit to you and the other awesome hard-working hosts!) Best, heather walls (talk) 02:01, 14 August 2012 (UTC)

The definition is "an expressive creation that includes major, copyright-protected elements of an original, previously created first work". The car is just a standard Beetle with a couple of pieces of metal nailed to it and the Pokemon logo on it. If the car actually looked like Pikachu (or the Beetle itself was a copyrightable work) then you'd be correct. Apart from that, I'm pretty sure a non-free image can't be justified simply to illustrate an advertising campaign. Black Kite (talk) 16:37, 14 August 2012 (UTC)

One of the problems with the new NewPagesFeed is that it does not make proper edit summaries, so any page you simply tag for maintenance instead of for deletion (see:Westhill Bowling Club, a clear case for A7) will be regarded as patrolled, nveer be noticed again, and will never get deleted.

Can you have a look at this?Hi Ryan, You and I chatted a while ago during your RfA and I'm reaching out to you to ask that you have a look at this AfD and if you're comfortable, offering an opinion. I am not trying to persuade you to !vote in accordance with me, I'm asking you to follow your conscience. I just happen to find you reasonable and your opinion would be helpful. I'm thinking it's going to go to "no consensus" again because neither the original nominator nor any of the others who offered their !vote have returned since the article's been renovated significantly. Regardless of whether you have a look or !vote, thanks for all you do around here. Best regards. Vertium When all is said and done 17:30, 21 August 2012 (UTC)

NPFConcurring with your comment, tools are only useful in the hands of a worker who know how to use them.The main and only real issue at NPP is that unlike rollbacker , reviewer, and a couple of other 'maintenance' functions, it does not officially require any demonstration of competence or knwowledge. As a consequence, it is not sufficiently attractive to 'hat collectors' who generally do in fact do a good job of counter-vandalism etc. The Foundation developed the new feed in response to two years of research and complaining by a team of admins, but the developers and/or their coordinators seem only to be ready to accept or address the symptoms and not the cause. As a consequence, I can only see it getting worse when the NPF finally goes live. This does not seem to be in harmony with their ideology of user retention.

ANI discussionHello. There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. The thread is Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Possible wikihounding. Thank you. Lord Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 09:29, 25 August 2012 (UTC) Also, I apologize for bringing this up to you again, but I also felt that the previous resolution has failed and I have already explained my actions there. The edits by Niemti seem to clearly fit the description of WP:WIKIHOUNDING due to expression of perceived slights on AN/I, the "errors" "corrected" are not unambiguous and violations of Wikipedia policy, and the hounding is being accompanied by tendentiousness, edit warring, personal attacks ([4], [5] on Ninja Turtles, on which I helped clean up, and [6], [7], [8] on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (film series).) as noted in Dennis Brown's talk page and on my comments at ANI. I was only trying to help point Niemti in the right direction, but I fear that he has used up his rope and has violated #2 of the standard offer. Regardless, I have kept his talk page off my watchlist. If I have unintentionally upset anyone, then I am deeply sorry. When I spoke with Berean Hunter today here, I have been told that fresh eyes on this matter may help lead to a resolution. Until then, we shall wait and see what is going on at ANI. Would this work?
