We need your help testing latest huggle

Hello,

I am sending you this message because you listed yourself on meta:Huggle/Members as a beta tester. We desperately need attention of testers, because since we resolved all release blockers, we are ready to release first official version of huggle 3! Before that happens, it would be nice if you could test it so that we can make sure there are no issues with it. You can download it packaged for your operating system (see Wikipedia:Huggle/Huggle3_Beta) or you can of course build it yourself, see https://github.com/huggle/huggle3-qt-lx for that. Don't forget to use always latest version, there is no auto-update message for beta versions!

Should you find any issue, please report it to wikimedia bugzilla, that is a central place for huggle bugs, where we look at them. That is i mportant, if you find a bug and won't report it, we can't fix it. Thank you for your work on this, if you have any questions, please send me a message on my talk page, I won't be looking for responses here. Thanks, Petrb (talk) 15:20, 10 April 2014 (UTC)

This changes everything! ;-) Alexbrn talk|contribs|COI 06:17, 23 April 2014 (UTC)

Invitation join the new Physiology Wikiproject!

Physiology gives us an understanding of how and why things in the field of medicine happen. Together, let us jumpstart the project and get it going. Our energy is all it needs.

Based on the long felt gap for categorization and improvization of WP:MED articles relating to the field of physiology, the new WikiProject Physiology has been created. WikiProject Physiology is still in its infancy and needs your help. On behalf of a group of editors striving to improve the quality of physiology articles here on Wikipedia, I would like to invite you to come on board and participate in the betterment of physiology related articles. Help us to jumpstart this WikiProject.

  • Feel free to leave us a message at any time on the WikiProkect Physiology talk page. If you are interested in joining the project yourself, there is a participant list where you can sign up. Please leave a message on the talk page if you have any problems, suggestions, would like review of an article, need suggestions for articles to edit, or would like some collaboration when editing!
  • You can tag the talk pages of relevant articles with {{WikiProject Physiology|class=|importance=}} with your assessment of the article class and importance alongwith. Please note that WP:Physiology, WP:Physio, WP:Phy can be used interchangeably.
  • You will make a big difference to the quality of information by adding reliable sources. Sourcing physiology articles is essential and makes a big difference to the quality of articles. And, while you're at it, why not use a book to source information, which can source multiple articles at once!
  • We try and use a standard way of arranging the content in each article. That layout is here. These headings let us have a standard way of presenting the information in anatomical articles, indicate what information may have been forgotten, and save angst when trying to decide how to organise an article. That said, this might not suit every article. If in doubt, be bold!
  • Why not try and strive to create a good article! Physiology related articles are often small in scope, have available sources, and only a limited amount of research available that is readily presentable!
  • Your contributions to the WikiProject page, related categories and templates is also welcome.
  • To invite other editors to this WikiProject, copy and past this template (with the signature):
  • To welcome editors of physiology articles, copy and past this template (with the signature):
  • You can feel free to contact us on the WikiProkect Physiology talk page if you have any problems, or wish to join us. You can also put your suggestions there and discuss the scope of participation.

Hoping for your cooperation! DiptanshuTalk 12:19, 27 April 2014 (UTC)

Edits in relation to the topic ban

As an admin involved in instituting the topic ban User_talk:Alfonzo_Green#Result_of_Arbitration_Enforcement_request, is the play by play interpretation of the editing about the Sheldrake article recorded by the user here: User:Alfonzo Green acceptable or has that crossed into the bounds of editing about " Rupert Sheldrake, broadly construed"? -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 04:41, 25 April 2014 (UTC)

Yes absolutely it's a clear violation of the topic ban. I am away from my actual computer at the moment but will handle tomorrow if nobody else has got to it before I do. Zad68 04:45, 25 April 2014 (UTC)
 Done, TheRedPenOfDoom. Zad68 19:16, 25 April 2014 (UTC)
Thank you. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 19:17, 25 April 2014 (UTC)

Zad68 says that Alfonzo's screed about Sheldrake on his own talk page is "absolutely a clear violation of the topic ban". Alfonzo disagrees. I don't doubt Zad68, and I don't particularly agree with Alfonzo, but it is NOT clear to me that talk pages are presently included in topic bans. It wasn't particularly clear to TRPoD, either -- he had to ask the question. Assuming that Zad68 is right, it would be helpful if talk pages were included in the list of examples under WP:TBAN. Lou Sander (talk) 22:00, 27 April 2014 (UTC)

Feel free to go ahead and get that added to the examples at WP:TBAN, Lou. Zad68 22:10, 27 April 2014 (UTC)

A discussion involving your interpretation of TBAN

FYI, your interpretation and application of the Topic Ban policy is being cited as an example at Wikipedia_talk:Banning_policy#Do_topic_bans_extend_to_the_banned_editor.27s_user_talk_page.3F -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 13:18, 28 April 2014 (UTC)
