Welcome to Meta!Edit

Hello Worm That Turned, and welcome to the Wikimedia Meta-Wiki! This website is for coordinating and discussing all Wikimedia projects. You may find it useful to read our policy page. If you are interested in doing translations, visit Meta:Babylon. You can also leave a note on Meta:Babel or Wikimedia Forum (please read the instructions at the top of the page before posting there). If you would like, feel free to ask me questions on my talk page. Happy editing!

Thanks for the welcomeEdit

Hi! Thanks for the welcome. I'm only planning to vote on the steward elections for the moment, but if I were to come back to meta, is there anything that needs doing. I know it's a silly question, but any suggestions would be appreciated WormTT 10:00, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

Why would it be a silly question? :) Meta:About Meta is a good place to start, and has links to other important pages like our policies etc. If you're interested in translations, you can contribute to Translation requests and Translation of the week. If not, you can look at other cleanup tasks, participate in discussions at Meta:Babel, or find something that interests you on the Goings-on page. Jafeluv 11:08, 18 February 2011 (UTC)
I'll have a look if when I've next got a free hour or two. Unfortunately I'm a monolinguist - though I can vaguely understand a lot of the latin/greek based languages, I'm sure I'll find so

Re:UsernameEdit

The Worm that Turned, was a book published at the very start of the 1970's..I think in regard to Female Emancipation in the UK —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Nowthenchildren (talk)

I expect it is! Can't say I've read it though. WormTT 07:52, 21 October 2011 (UTC)

Nudge nudge!Edit

Hi Worm, you asked for a nudge before the Liverpool meetup on 24 November. Here it is! Hope to see you there, Bazonka (talk) 18:20, 18 November 2012 (UTC)

Invitation to join the Commons mobile uploads testing weekEdit

Uploading pictures from mobile devices to Wikimedia Commons must be simple for everybody! We have fresh software and you can help testing it.

WHEN

WHERE

See you there? If you have any questions let me know.--Qgil (talk) 21:45, 21 February 2013 (UTC)

PS: you are receiving this invitation because you signed up to Mobile projects/Beta.

RE: User_talk:Sue_Gardner#Child_protectionEdit

Philippe replied on Sue's behalf. Just letting you know in case you stopped watching the page. --Michaeldsuarez (talk) 03:42, 13 June 2013 (UTC)

"I'm still of the opinion indefinite =/= infinite"Edit

"I'm still of the opinion indefinite =/= infinite" - I find that amusing because (on Wikipedia) 6 months implies more than 4 years. Come on, you know how it works. Logic doesn't apply. :) Ottava Rima (talk) 18:25, 29 October 2013 (UTC)

Global renamerEdit

Please sign new Wikimedia confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information by 31 DecemberEdit

This is a message from the Wikimedia Foundation. Translations are available.

As you may know, the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees approved a new "Access to nonpublic information policy" on 25 April 2014 after a community consultation. The former policy has remained in place until the new policy could be implemented. That implementation work is now being done, and we are beginning the transition to the new policy.

An important part of that transition is helping volunteers like you sign the required confidentiality agreement. All Wikimedia volunteers with access to nonpublic information are required to sign this new agreement, and we have prepared some documentation to help you do so.

The Wikimedia Foundation is requiring that OTRS volunteers sign the new confidentiality agreement by 31 December 2015 to retain their access. You are receiving this email because you have been identified as an OTRS volunteer and are required to sign the confidentiality agreement under the new policy. If you do not sign the new confidentiality agreement by 31 December 2015, you will lose your OTRS access. OTRS volunteers have a specific agreement available, if you have recently signed the general confidentiality agreement for another role (such as CheckUser or Oversight), you do not need to sign the general agreement again, but you will still need to sign the OTRS agreement.

Signing the confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information is conducted and tracked using Legalpad on Phabricator. We have prepared a guide on Meta-Wiki to help you create your Phabricator account and sign the new agreement: Confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information/How to sign

If you have any questions or experience any problems while signing the new agreement, please visit this talk page or email me (gvarnum wikimedia.org). Again, please sign this confidentiality agreement by 31 December 2015 to retain your OTRS access. If you do not wish to retain this access, please let me know and we will forward your request to the appropriate individuals.

Thank you,
Gregory Varnum (User:GVarnum-WMF), Wikimedia Foundation

JSTOR account redistribution (The Wikipedia Library)Edit

Hi - according to our records you received a free account for JSTOR through The Wikipedia Library. Because we’ve used up all of our allocated accounts, and it’s been some time since they were distributed, we want to redistribute any accounts that aren’t being used to users on our waitlist.

If you’re still using, or plan to use, your JSTOR access, no problem! Simply head over to the Library Card platform, log in, and request a renewal of your account. You should be able to do this from your user page, or the JSTOR signup page. If you can’t find the renewal button, or have any other issues or questions about this, please feel free to leave a message on my talk page. We’ll begin redistributing inactive accounts in September; if you request renewal after then we will only be able to reactivate your account if we have spots remaining. Thanks, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:31, 20 August 2018 (UTC)

White-list removalEdit

My high respect I once held for you has dropped to sub-zero temperatures. It hardly matters to me whether the link is white-listed or not, but I would expect a rationale better than "bad editor wrote it" as justification, especially from you. Could you perhaps provide one to me?--The Devil's Advocate (talk) 21:24, 3 July 2019 (UTC)

"Shouldn't have been done in the first place" is a good enough reason to remove the white-listing. I'm sure I'll go into it further one day, but that day is not today. WormTT 21:55, 3 July 2019 (UTC)
That isn't really "good enough" unless you explain why it shouldn't have been done. I think today is as good a day as any to explain yourself.--The Devil's Advocate (talk) 22:05, 3 July 2019 (UTC)

A comment by Smallbones here seems to suggest the Foundation Trust and Safety Team asked for the mere mention of my piece existing to be removed. Was a similar request made to the Arbitration Committee? If there was then I apologize for my harsh tone above. Your choice of words aside, I can understand fully why you would do it if this was a Foundation request.--The Devil's Advocate (talk) 21:57, 7 July 2019 (UTC)

Do you have a response to my question? Would be very interested to know if the Foundation had requested you remove my piece from the white-list.--The Devil's Advocate (talk) 15:33, 13 July 2019 (UTC)
Hi TDA. I saw an action which was overturning consensus to heighten the furore, which I fixed of my own volition. I won't be going into what drew my attention to that action, but I didn't do it at the direction of anyone. WormTT 07:19, 15 July 2019 (UTC)
Fair enough on the last part, but I do not believe there was any consensus being overturned with the white-listing. The only consensus I am aware of merely said Breitbart could not be used as a reliable source for factual claims on English Wikipedia articles, which no one was suggesting. Breitbart's addition to the black-list was not decided on in that discussion or any other discussion.--The Devil's Advocate (talk) 01:15, 16 July 2019 (UTC)

E-mailEdit

I sent you an e-mail yesterday. Did you get it?--The Devil's Advocate (talk) 14:49, 23 August 2019 (UTC)

I did. I've already suggested who you should contact about the matter, and have no intention in engaging "he said, she said". WormTT 08:12, 24 August 2019 (UTC)
Not sure what "he said, she said" could possibly refer to in this context. I already did contact the other person repeatedly after you suggested it, but have not received a response. That is not surprising as the same person stopped responding previously as well.--The Devil's Advocate (talk) 18:18, 24 August 2019 (UTC)
Fair enough, but I also told you I didn't have time to investigate, I don't really have time to be looking into the matter at all, I'm largely ignoring all Arbcom mail at the moment. WormTT 18:27, 24 August 2019 (UTC)
That's alright, the request was sent to the overall Committee last week and I was only wondering if there was an update on that.--The Devil's Advocate (talk) 02:18, 25 August 2019 (UTC)

Don't know if you have more time now, but I sent another e-mail asking about this matter.--The Devil's Advocate (talk) 23:17, 23 September 2019 (UTC)

Sent you another e-mail. Could you forward it to the Committee?--The Devil's Advocate (talk) 02:59, 25 September 2019 (UTC)
Did you get my e-mail? If you did and forwarded it to the Committee would you mind telling me?--The Devil's Advocate (talk) 22:20, 26 September 2019 (UTC)
I got it. Haven't forwarded it yet as I haven't read it yet. I haven't read it yet because it's long WormTT 22:24, 26 September 2019 (UTC)
Have you had an opportunity to read it and forward it on to the Committee yet?--The Devil's Advocate (talk) 16:15, 29 September 2019 (UTC)
No. If you are in a rush, why don't you send it directly to the committee. WormTT 17:15, 29 September 2019 (UTC)
Obviously not in a rush since I am only getting back to you a week later, but have you reviewed the e-mail or forwarded it?--The Devil's Advocate (talk) 21:33, 6 October 2019 (UTC)
I have forwarded to the list, with the intention of keeping in archives, not acting upon old information. WormTT 07:54, 8 October 2019 (UTC)
Okay, thanks.--The Devil's Advocate (talk) 02:10, 9 October 2019 (UTC)
