Hi, Steven, I tried to write on your Wikipedia talk, was timed out several times, placed the message on your user page, only to find that it was already on the talk a few times ... - I have no other explanation than that the talk is perhaps a bit too long ;) --[[User:Gerda Arendt|Gerda Arendt]] ([[User talk:Gerda Arendt|talk]]) 14:15, 10 October 2013 (UTC)

== Re: Level1 Warnings and a possible active voice make over ==

I wonder why some certain level 1 warnings still have passive voice like 
* [[template:uw-agf1]]
* [[template:uw-create1]]
* [[template:uw-defamatory1]]
* [[template:uw-disruptive1]]
* [[template:uw-move1]]

* [[template:uw-mos1]]

* [[template:uw-own1]]

* [[template:uw-upload1]]
I know some templates might of have been slapped with the "Hello, I'm Jimbo." type at the beginning, You can also see my active voice version of [[User:Dreth/Disruptive1|uw-disruptive1]] here.

:{{replyto|Dreth}} I think your draft of uw-distruptive is great. Basically, some still use passive voice because we started with the most commonly-used warnings, and that's what the original RFC was about. I think it's been enough time that we can move remaining warnings like those you've listed to active voice as well. I can help, as can {{U|Maryana (WMF)|Maryana}}. <span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">[[User:Steven (WMF)|Steven Walling (WMF)]]&nbsp;&bull;&nbsp;[[User talk:Steven (WMF)|<span style="color: #8080b0">talk</span>]]</span>  19:16, 4 November 2013 (UTC)

== Helpdesks ==

Hi,

Given that WMF is planning research on AfC and related Article creation ways, could I also request you to do research on the very related topic of a help desk for new editors? Having been very active in this area through [[WP:TH|Teahouse]], [[Wikipedia:IRC/wikipedia-en-help|IRC help channels]], and also through [[WP:OTRS|OTRS]] and [[Template:Help me|Help me requests]], where I've had the chance to reply to help requests, I think our current help systems, atleast on Enwiki are very much unsuited for effectively helping newer editors, especially when to familiarize them to Wikipedia rules. We also have the [[Wikipedia:Help Desk|Help Desk]], where I haven't been yet.

I think that we would greatly benefit from having some sensible research to look through the effectiveness of these help desks and to locally design something better to suit what I think is quite an important, if not urgent need. If used correctly, it has the potential to also convert several good faith editors.

Do tell me what you think of it, and if you'd be interested in further discussions on the same

I have felt like Cassandra around here for a few years, declaring that our new user experience poses an existential challenge to our project.   I know there are a lot of Cassandras over at WMF too who've had the same experience I've had, of seeing a problem not everyone can see and wanting to fix something not everyone knows needs fixing. :)  Good work. --[[User:HectorMoffet|HectorMoffet]] ([[User talk:HectorMoffet|talk]]) 04:26, 10 November 2013 (UTC)

==JSTOR==
Hello. I see this is up for re-negotation.I hope this will be continued, and the original 100 can keep their links. I have been using it extensively in recent months to find background reading for a major project I have on to list all the Musical articles and biographies by Dr Burney from [[Rees's Cyclopaedia]]. I've been writing about Rees's Cyclopaedia for the last couple of years, and Burney's work was an important part of it. Commentators such as Scholes, Grant and Londsale all say how desirable a full listing would be. I will be severely hamstrung were my JSTOR concession removed.

==Thanks and more==
Firstly, I want to thank you for all the great work you've been doing on Draft space.   Several years ago, we noticed the editor retention trends.   Later, Sue announced a fear that we've "lost our way".   Drafts has restored my hope that WP can still show the kind of adaptability and openness we did in our youth. 

More boringly, I want to point your attention to the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Drafts#If_Draft:ArticleName_exists.2C_alert_some_users_when_viewing_Main:ArticleNamethe proposition] that some editors should be alerted to the existence of related drafts-- for example, if I go to [[ArticleName]], I want to know if [[Draft:ArticleName]] exists.  I think that's a change that would require staff. 

Thanks again for all your hard and inspiring work.  --[[User:HectorMoffet|HectorMoffet]] ([[User talk:HectorMoffet|talk]]) 14:11, 22 December 2013 (UTC)

== question about active-editor-counts ==

"''I think you probably would be surprised how much we know about activities like page creation.''"  &mdash;Steven(WMF) in Nov'13

Sounds like a challenge!  :-)  &nbsp;  If so, perhaps you can help.  I'm trying to make a logical argument based on pragmatic number-of-editors information, but I don't have the data I need.  Do you know, or do you know where I can find out the number of humans... 

#  +with rollbacker-and/or-reviewer-and/or-admin userright, who avg'd 005+edits/mo during the past year, and what percentage of them have 500+edits (total) to mainspace 
#  +with rollbacker-and/or-reviewer-and/or-admin userright, who avg'd 025+edits/mo during the past year, and what percentage of them have 500+edits (total) to mainspace 
#  +with rollbacker-and/or-reviewer-and/or-admin userright, who avg'd 100+edits/mo during the past year, and what percentage of them have 500+edits (total) to mainspace 
#  w/out rollbacker-and/or-reviewer-and/or-admin userright, who avg'd 005+edits/mo during the past year, and what percentage of them have 500+edits (total) to mainspace

#  w/out rollbacker-and/or-reviewer-and/or-admin userright, who avg'd 100+edits/mo during the past year, and what percentage of them have 500+edits (total) to mainspace 

All questions are on enWiki only, ignoring other namespaces, global-cross-wiki-userright-holders, and other such corner-cases.  I'm happy to do the queries myself, if there is already a page or a tool of some sort that will give me the answers... I just haven't found such a thing.  

p.s.  Motivation... somebody has proposed that to be an AfC reviewer, ought to require that the candidate-reviewer have (or be given) the pending-changes-reviewer-userRight.  Back-of-the-envelope guesstimates suggest there are only about 3000 people *active* on enWiki with reviewer-userRights today... but [[WP:REVIEWER]] only gives the *total* count, many of whom could now be retired/inactive/etc.  Rather than trust my guesstimate, I'd like some actual figures.  Here is the motivating-discussion,[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Articles_for_creation/RfC_for_AfC_reviewer_permission_criteria#Proposal_4:_Piggy-back_on_rollback_or_PC_reviewer] if you're curious.

== Account creation tip ==

Hi Steven,

Awhile back I asked - somewhere, I've searched through my contributions and can't find it! - where the text for the account creation page was kept, and you answered. You asked why I wanted to know, and I never got back to you; I've just seen something that reminded me to.

Basically, I was going to suggest that the account creation page has a small chunk of useful info added to it, perhaps as a tooltip on the user name field, explaining what ''can'' be included in user names - spaces, capitals and so on. That will hopefully save a bit of work for our bureaucrats by preventing rename requests {{diff|diff=596026848|diffonly=1|label=like this one}} that only exist because people didn't realize that our user name policy is quite flexible.

Best, — [[User:Scott Martin|'''<span style="color:#000">Scott</span>''']] <span style="color:#900">•</span> [[User talk:Scott Martin|''<span style="color:#000">talk</span>'']] 14:16, 18 February 2014 (UTC)

:Yes, this is a good idea, and we logged it back in the day as {{phab|49530}}. Our thinking was that the ideal case is that the "help me choose" link open a tooltip with a short explanation and a link to read more, rather than open the full policy page. Many many users click on that "help me choose" link, but the policy page is probably too much and I don't think we want to just dump a summary back in to the account creation form again. This is one of the laundry list of items I'd love to have time to fix in the new account creation... <span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">[[User:Steven (WMF)|Steven Walling (WMF)]]&nbsp;&bull;&nbsp;[[User talk:Steven (WMF)|<span style="color: #8080b0">talk</span>]]</span>  18:16, 18 February 2014 (UTC)

== Getting Started edit suggestions ==

Hi Steven.  I've noticed this new tag in edit summaries in the past few days. "These articles are derived from our simple category-based suggestion system..." - do you have a list of these articles (especially BLPs) so other editors can keep an eye on them? --[[User:NeilN|'''<span style="color:navy;">Neil<span style="color:red;">N</span></span>''']] ''[[User talk:NeilN|<sup style="color:blue;">talk to me</sup>]]'' 17:42, 23 February 2014 (UTC)

:Hey [[User:NeilN|Neil]]. So right now the suggestions come from two different places:

# when you sign up, we remember what page you were on before going to create an account, and we send you back there. If that is an editable article, we give you a [[Help:Guided tours|guided tour]] of how to edit that, and the tag is applied. That includes all kinds of different categories of articles, including some BLPs, since it's based on what the individual editor was reading before they signed up. 
# we also suggest a secondary selection of articles from [[:Category:All articles needing copy edit]]. However, we don't just grab all pages from that category, we filter it some. That includes excluding all articles in the living people category, as well as more mundane stuff like no very long articles. If there's any article where it looks like it doesn't need anymore copyediting, then all you need to do to exclude it is remove the {{tl|Copyedit}} banner which also removes the category. The system then automatically removes the article from the list of potential suggestions. 

:You can actually [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:RecentChanges&tagfilter=gettingstarted+edit filter RecentChanges] with the edit tag if you want to see all edits made via this interface. <span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">[[User:Steven (WMF)|Steven Walling (WMF)]]&nbsp;&bull;&nbsp;[[User talk:Steven (WMF)|<span style="color: #8080b0">talk</span>]]</span>  22:20, 23 February 2014 (UTC)

== Typography ==

Hi Steven, I'll reply here as the Village pump is a bit crowded. I am very sorry for my error regarding bugs, I had not come across the error before, and there was a talk on Wiktionary (?) about bugs being caused (which I assume was another GF error. With regards to the vote, I very much doubt anything will be changed, even if (as appears likely) quite a majority want the old font back. I think it is useful for the WMF to know the opinion of the people it matters to (but note that [[WP:Poll|given the decision was made by the WMF rather than through consensus]], an idea of who popular the new font is useful. Lastly, why is it that our conflict of interest editing had mass banners across all articles, visible by all, editors and readers alike, when an equally massive change had not mass notification to editors, of the hundreds of thousands of editors who use en.wikipedia, 10,000 doesn't seem like such a big number.

== Telling people at account creation time what WP is not for ==

Re [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Jimbo_Wales&diff=602960456&oldid=602958099 this], I am absolutely serious, and very willing to help try something along those lines. Most of my Wikipedia life is spent explaining what WP is ''not'' for to people who really wanted a LinkedIn or a Facebook, and I would dearly like to do less of it. As a first shot [[WP:Village pump (proposals)/Archive 87#Explain at account creation time what Wikipedia is NOT for|here is a proposal]] I made two years ago.

The words can certainly be tweaked, but we need to avoid softening them to the point where the message does not get across. 

There is little point telling people that Wikipedia is not for promotion, because nobody thinks they are doing promotion. They are all convinced their edits are "purely informational", and they are simply using Wikipedia to tell the world about themselves, their companies, their good causes... My favourite, real, example is "This is written with no promotional tone" about an article which included "''phenomenally successful... obsessive and extensive knowledge of fashion design... revered for his rare ability... an arbiter of taste... his inventive images... ''" A better way to put the message is "Wikipedia is '''not a place to tell the world''' about yourself, your company, your band... " which is the essence of [[WP:COI]] and the central point that many new users do not understand.

How can I help? [[User:JohnCD|JohnCD]] ([[User talk:JohnCD|talk]]) 21:54, 18 April 2014 (UTC)

== Create an account prompt ==

Hi Steven. Just hoping you could take a look at [[Wikipedia:Village pump (technical)/Archive 126#Prompt to create an account whenever I make an edit]] when you get a chance. To be clear I'm all for prompting unregistered users to create an account, but once the offer has been declined it seems excessive to continue prompting them every time they make an edit.

== Sign Up nagging feedback ==

Hello Steven, I had posted [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Okeyes_%28WMF%29&oldid=610151820#Sign_up_nagging here] because I was initially pointed to Okeyes rather than you. I'm not going to copypaste my comments, but I'd appreciate it if you could read and maybe consider them. Thank you. --[[Special:Contributions/84.44.195.210|84.44.195.210]] ([[User talk:84.44.195.210|talk]]) 13:52, 28 May 2014 (UTC)

{{hatnote|The following pasted from Okeyes (WMF) user talk...}}
Hey there. I was pointed here on [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard&oldid=610132438#Sign_up_nagging AN].

I'd like to provide a little bit of feedback on that Sign Up nagging. For starters, you are insulting the intelligence of the very people you ostensibly want to sign up, by talking down to them as though they are customers or little children. Do you guys honestly believe that the type of person Wikipedia is hoping (or should be hoping) to recruit as an editor is dumb enough to buy into some corporate-advertising-inspired "Sign Up, here are the advantages ''for you''"? Nope. They will feel insulted by this cheapness and dishonesty. Wikimedia/Wikipedia has an interest in getting these people to sign up, and that is exactly what the Sign Up notice should state in a straightfoward, honest manner: "Here's why we would like you to sign up". Then let them consider it.

Secondly, the nagging is insulting by implying that the kind of person whom you should want to sign up isn't capable of knowing that they can do so whenever they decide to.

Thirdly, it is just plain annoying to get this shoved into one's face. Way to make IP editors feel even more unwelcome.

All in all, I'd say disable IP editing, or don't. But please don't insult the intellect of the people you should want to sign up. And by that I mean that I'm currently not sure what kind of person you people actally want to sign up. Maybe you're going for people who actually don't notice that they can sign up whenever they want? The kind of person who will not notice the insult in presenting them with some lame advertisement instead of a straightforward message from adult to adult? If that's the kind of person you're looking for, then nevermind, you're doing a great job of alienating everyone else.

That's all. Feel free to forward this to the appropriate place or ignore it at you discretion. Also, fantastic elegant idea to not provide people with an avenue to respond to the nagging campaign. You know, to learn why some people may actually be turned off and turned away by that particular kind of wording, or by the sign up nagging in general. Just a thought. --[[Special:Contributions/85.197.12.42|85.197.12.42]] ([[User talk:85.197.12.42|talk]]) 23:33, 25 May 2014 (UTC)

== Possible Extension:GuidedTour bug ==

Hi Steven, here's the ping [https://twitter.com/StevenWalling/status/515544225958854656 you requested ]. Although being logged in the whole time, I still got the new user [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandbox?tour=firstedit guided tour] for every article I accessed. This issue only occurred in article namespace and vanished after clicking through the tour a couple of times. Now things are back to normal; I could not reproduce the bug by logging in and out again or emptying my cache. Regards, [[User:Christoph Braun|Christoph Braun]] ([[User talk:Christoph Braun|talk]]) 17:02, 26 September 2014 (UTC)

:So the URL you shared on Twitter linked to the Sandbox and included ?tour=firstedit on the URL. This would definitely trigger the "how to make a first edit" guided tour, but I have no idea how you could have gotten it. You would have either needed to click on a button or link that included it, or created a new account that got the [[Wikipedia:GettingStarted|getting started guide]]. <span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">[[User:Steven (WMF)|Steven Walling (WMF)]]&nbsp;&bull;&nbsp;[[User talk:Steven (WMF)|<span style="color: #8080b0">talk</span>]]</span>  17:36, 26 September 2014 (UTC)
::Looks like some clarification is needed. I added ?tour=firstedit so you could see what piece of GuidedTour I referred to.

== Enums in PHP ==

Hi Steven,

I saw you and others described a way to use enums in php here [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/Typesafe_enums]
I think that's a good starting point. I wonder if and how the classes [https://git.wikimedia.org/summary/mediawiki%2Fextensions%2FCampaigns] i.e. TypesafeEnum can be used in another extension.
The concrete problem I'm trying to solve are the enum like constants in the [[mw:Extension:Math]] see
