::Thanks for the messages Nolelover and Gerda Arendt! Long time no see! Things are going well for me. Just a bit busy for Wiki. I've considered returning to correct the abysmal state of a lack of articles for [[National Pro Fastpitch]] and their players. I need to take a look at the notability guidelines for professional fastpitch players though. These girls are at the top level of their sport, so if they're not all eligible for articles based on playing for an NPF team, I don't know that I'll take the time to figure out who is notable and who isn't.&nbsp;[[User:Ryan Vesey|'''''Ryan''''']]&nbsp;[[User talk:Ryan Vesey|'''''Vesey''''']] 00:19, 15 July 2019 (UTC)

Hey Ryan, here are my recommendations for the page, by section:


*Lede: The lede needs to be expanded on a little. Think of it as a blurb of information about what the entire article is about. Typically, if it is in the article itself, it doesn't need to be sourced in the lede.


== Precious anniversary 8 ==
*History: ''LOTS'' more needed. I would check with the town's historical society. They will be able to help with finding links for the information or even books. Books are excellent sources that most Wikipedians forget can be used. Most think it is just weblinks and no more, but books are big time sources.
{{User QAIbox/auto|years=Eight}} --[[User:Gerda Arendt|Gerda Arendt]] ([[User talk:Gerda Arendt|talk]]) 08:16, 7 July 2020 (UTC)


== Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot ==
*Geography and Climate: I would make "Climate" a section section of "Geography", other than that, I don't see any need for improvments here.
''Note:'' All columns in this table are sortable, allowing you to rearrange the table so the articles most interesting to you are shown at the top. All images have mouse-over popups with more information. For more information about the columns and categories, please [[User:SuggestBot/Documentation/Suggestion columns|consult the documentation]] and please get in touch on [[User talk:SuggestBot|SuggestBot's talk page]] with any questions you might have.


{| class="wikitable sortable" border="1" style="text-align: center;"
*Demographics: Make sure you have updated 2010 information. Alot of the information from the 2010 census is now out, just took 'em awhile. I would also put in some information on the ancestry of the people of Windom in this section, but not as a sub-section. You can see how I did it at [[Stephens City, Virginia#Demographics]].

|- style="text-align: center; height: 30px;"
*Politics: I would rename this section "Government" and expand on it starting with the people on the city council (or whatever your town calls it), the mayor, fire and police chiefs, then post about the state officials and then folks in DC that represent Windom in the House and Senate.

| Cleanup


|- style="text-align: center; height: 30px;"
*Pictures: You have ''never'' have too many, but don't expect them all to be on the page. Try to take a slew of pictures of a nice, cloudless, Sunny day. July days are great for pictures, not great for people, but no clouds and sunny skies make from great pictures with no need for flash.

|- style="text-align: center; height: 30px;"
*References: You can ''never'' have too many, and you will be expected to use them all in some places. Google Books, just regular ol' books, newspaper websites, just plain ol' newspapers, and government sites are all sources that can be used and are sometimes forgotten.

|- style="text-align: center; height: 30px;"
*Religion: This is a great section because in some towns the churches have a bigger history than the town...and it is room to create another article and get a DYK in the process. You can see how I did it at [[Stephens City, Virginia#Religion]]. Don't forget to include ''all'' religions in this section from Christianity, to Judaism and beyond.

::::Let me ask someone about the age distribution table for the Stephens City article. I think it would be a good addition, but I worry it being perceived as decoration.

*Hey Ryan, sleep happened twice today (catching up on all the sleep I have missed lately), I took a look at the information for Windom and there isn't any. For whatever reason, the 2012 Demographic stats haven't been released for Windom. They do release things on a state-by-state basis (they just got around to Virginia) so it might be a little longer before they release things for Minnesota.

Hi Ryan. This is a long-shot, but do you remember the circumstances around [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Obsolete_models_of_DNA_structure&oldid=493833011 the DNA helix -> Non-helical DNA structure pagemove]? I'm looking at the page (now called [[Obsolete models of DNA structure]]) as part of looking at fringe & pseudoscience more broadly. Happy for you to email if not appropriate to comment on-wiki!
Sorry about that, and thanks for the post. As a hard rule I never delete stuff off of my talk--not even the personal attacks--I just love being the center of attention too much!!!!! Hahahaha!!!! But I can't allow my talk to be used as a weapon against other editors. And then you [[WP:DONTFEED|fed him]]. But thanks. &ndash; [[user:Lionelt|Lionel]] <sup>([[user talk:Lionelt|talk]])</sup> 05:21, 4 August 2012 (UTC)
:Good point. The liberal bias on this encyclopedia is so strong, it's hard not to point it out every chance I get. Editors like to pretend that there is a liberal bias because the entire world is liberal and there's an island of 50 conservatives. In reality, it's a form of systemic bias that the majority of editors feel no need to correct. A large percentage of our editors went to a university and it is blatantly obvious that college has a liberalizing effect. Heck, I've only been through one year and I'm already more moderate than I was going in. I commend you for your work to counteract that bias. On another note, I noticed you were working on [[User:Lionelt/Speeches of Ronald Reagan]]. A)It is awesome that you thought to include the videos. B)There can and probably should be an article just on Ronald Reagan's oratorical style. Have you got your eye on a featured topic?&nbsp;[[User:Ryan Vesey|'''''Ryan''''']]&nbsp;[[User talk:Ryan Vesey|'''''Vesey''''']] 05:34, 4 August 2012 (UTC)
::Gee, I was [[User_talk:Belchfire#Battleground_behavior|just informed]] that pointing out bias (without mentioning any specific user, mind you) is "against policy," and that I risk being blocked for such candor. So how the hell do you rate? Or is it just ''that'' obvious I'm only a high school puke? Maybe that's it. Yeah.

:::<small>ALERT: more Wikipedia secrets about to be exposed by Lionelt--this is not plotting</small><br> My dear Belch, when you've racked 20,000 edits, a bunch of DYKs, GAs and bronze thingees, and a wall full of barnstars--you have enough wikifriends to !vote you out of anything. Hahahah! When you're a newbie with a couple thousand edits you're basically raw meat for biting and on whom new admins can try out their newly activated block button. My advice: hook up with a powerful admin who will "mentor" you, What is mentoring? Mentoring is when you get into trouble and your admin-mentor storms onto ANI and starts blocking whoever has it out for you. And you know what, now that Jenova has "graduated" I think WormThatTurned may have an opening. Not that Worm is a powerful admin, but he'll do until my RFA gets going. What is graduation? You don't know anything more than when you started mentoring except for one important thing: you know enough to [[WP:GAME|avoid getting blocked]]. &ndash; [[user:Lionelt|Lionel]] <sup>([[user talk:Lionelt|talk]])</sup> 12:02, 4 August 2012 (UTC)<br><small>You can now return to your regularly scheduled XXX broadcast</small>

Well, "against policy" is pretty vague. Fortunately, I remember you being warned specifically against violating [[WP:NOTFACTIONS]]. That's much more concrete, therefore easier to understand and follow. Hope that helps!

::That is so awesome! Do we have video for the Tear Down This Wall speech or just the audio?

:::You're starting to creep me out. I was just on Miller Center trying to download that very video. It's 26 min so it might just make the 100M commons limit. But the site isn't working. I found it on youtube but it has the Reagan Library watermark.
:::You see when I first started on the "speechography" I felt the audio was sufficient, especially since it is a Featured Sound, so I never uploaded the video.
:::Fastforward... The speechography is just about ready for article space--and a nom for DYK. But which video to use for the dyk? The Challenger is a top 10 speech, ''but so is Berlin Wall!'' So that's why I've decided to get the video and replace the audio.
:::Another consideration: both Challenger and Berlin Wall IMO are FPCs. It would be a coup to have a FP in a dyk nom!

:I'm a bit late on this, but I can't remember too much, beyond the fact that it says "per IRC request". It seems likely that someone was requesting the page be moved and based on the content of the article, explaining that the topic was '''Non-helical DNA structure''', I must have felt like that was a reasonable request vs. calling the article DNA helix.&nbsp;[[User:Ryan Vesey|'''''Ryan''''']]&nbsp;[[User talk:Ryan Vesey|'''''Vesey''''']] 22:11, 25 July 2021 (UTC)


== FLR notice ==
When all of our sources speak of Chik-fil-a supporting "anti-gay causes", it would be POV to change it to "conservative". In short, you've proven my point by showing that what you consider neutrality is actually conservative bias.

{{Quote|Wikipedia describes disputes. Wikipedia does not engage in disputes. A neutral characterization of disputes requires presenting viewpoints with a consistently impartial tone; otherwise articles end up as partisan commentaries even while presenting all relevant points of view. Even where a topic is presented in terms of facts rather than opinions, inappropriate tone can be introduced through the way in which facts are selected, presented, or organized. Neutral articles are written with a tone that provides an unbiased, accurate, and proportionate representation of all positions included in the article.


I have nominated [[List of Nobel laureates affiliated with the University of Pennsylvania]] for featured list removal. Please [[Wikipedia:Featured list removal candidates/List of Nobel laureates affiliated with the University of Pennsylvania/archive1|'''join the discussion''']] on whether this article meets the [[Wikipedia:What is a featured list?|featured list criteria]]. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks; editors may declare to "Keep" or "Delist" the article's featured status. The instructions for the review process are [[Wikipedia:Featured list removal candidates|here]].<!-- Template:FLRCMessage -->
The tone of Wikipedia articles should be impartial, neither endorsing nor rejecting a particular point of view.

:Thanks, but I'm quite familiar with [[WP:NPOV]]. It doesn't say we should use euphemisms or always accept the terminology preferred by the speaker. So, for example, if Stormfront wants to characterize itself as a charity that happens to focus on white people, it's not our job to cater to their dishonesty. If Chick-fil-a considers itself "conservative", we should mention that. But when neutral secondary sources call it "anti-gay", we should, too.

Hi! Welcome to the fifth edition of ''The Tea Leaf'', the official newsletter of the [[WP:Teahouse|Teahouse]]!


== You've been unsubscribed from the Feedback Request Service ==
*'''Guest activity increased in July.''' Questions are up from an average of 36 per week in June to 43 per week in July, and guest profile creation has also increased. This is likely a result of the [[meta:Research:Teahouse/Invites|automatic invite]] experiments we started near the end of month, which seeks to lessen the burden on hosts and other volunteers who manually invite editors. During the last week of July, questions doubled in the Teahouse! (But don't let that deter you from [[Wikipedia:Teahouse/Host lounge/Invite guide|inviting]] editors to the Teahouse, please, there are still lots of new editors who haven't found Teahouse yet.)
*'''More Teahouse hosts than ever.''' We had 12 new hosts sign up to participate at the Teahouse! We now have 35 hosts volunteering at the Teahouse. Feel free to stop by and see them all [[Wikipedia:Teahouse/Hosts|here]].
*'''Phase two update: Host sprint.''' In August, the Teahouse team plans to improve the host experience by developing a simpler new-host creation process, a better way of surfacing active hosts, and a host lounge renovation. Take a look at the plan and weigh in [[meta:Research:Teahouse/Hosting|here]].
*'''New Teahouse guest barnstar is awarded to first recipient: Charlie Inks.''' Using the Teahouse barnstar designed by [[User:Heatherawalls|Heatherawalls]], hosts [[User:Hajatvrc|hajatvrc]] and [[User:Ryan_Vesey|Ryan Vesey]] created the new Teahouse Guest Barnstar. The first recipient is [[User:Charlie Inks|Charlie Inks]], for her boldness in asking questions at the Teahouse. Check out the award in action [[User_talk:Charlie_Inks#You_are_the_first_Wikipedian_to_ever_receive_the_Teahouse_Guest_Barnstar.21|here]].
*'''Teahouse was a hot topic at Wikimania!''' The Teahouse was a hot topic at [[Wikimania]] this past month, where editor retention and interface design was heavily discussed. [[User:SarahStierch|Sarah]] and [[User:Jtmorgan|Jonathan]] presented the Teahouse during the [[meta:Wikimedia Fellowships|Wikimedia Fellowships]] panel. Slides can be viewed [[commons:File:Teahouse presentation.pdf|here]]. A [[Wikipedia_talk:Teahouse/Host_lounge/Archive_5#Who.27s_at_Wikimania.3F|lunch]] was also held at Wikimania for Teahouse hosts.

Hi Ryan. On discussion and with his approval, I redrafted Brad's very good faith essay at [[Wikipedia:Guidance for younger editors]] to lower the 'adult' tone just slightly and to improve its general format. I did not however fundamentally change the content. As a teacher and teacher trainer of some 30 years experience however, I would probably have written something quite different. Rather than just stabbing at the existing one with minor edits, perhaps a couple of editors experienced in these matters could get together and draft something new. I would certainly participate. --[[User:Kudpung|Kudpung กุดผึ้ง]] ([[User talk:Kudpung|talk]]) 05:02, 5 August 2012 (UTC)

:Thanks Kudpung. I'm not interested in personally creating a new page, but I would certainly support any effort that was made to do so. I was looking for something a bit more simple that focuses just on the personal information issue and informs young editors without scaring them. Perhaps a good first step would be to list some types of personal information that a young user should be wary about editing.

Mind if I ask a bonehead question? What's "GA"? And also, this one caught my eye: [[HMS Doterel (1880)]] But it looks like a dandy article already. Could you describe for me briefly what the objectives are? Or perhaps point me towards whatever quality standard is being sought? [[User:Belchfire|'''<tt><span style="color:black">Belch</span><span style="color:red">fire</span></tt>''']]-[[User_talk:Belchfire|<span style="color:black"><small>'''TALK'''</small></span>]] 07:01, 5 August 2012 (UTC)

:A GA is [[Wikipedia:WikiSpeak|WikiSpeak]] for [[Wikipedia:Good articles]]. The Good article criteria are [[Wikipedia:Good article criteria|here]]. In the case of HMS Doterel, I nominated it last summer, but by the time a reviewer got started, I was on my way to college. The issues are listed on the talk page. Particularly in the sections [[Talk:HMS Doterel (1880)#Peer review|peer review]] and [[Talk:HMS Doterel (1880)#GA Review|GA review]]. I believe a good starting point for us would be to create a new section that lists the unresolved problems (primarily the lead section and the quality of a few sources, in addition there are some areas that can use expansion). It shouldn't take long for the article to be ready for a GA review again soon. The process that led me to that article is fairly interesting. I actually found [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Thomas_Bridges_(Anglican_missionary)&oldid=431189192 this] and decided to improve it. There, I learned that a ship exploded and decided to write an article on the ship. Then I found out that the explosion was caused by xerotine siccative so I've been writing an article on that for a while. You will probably have similar situations arise, and I feel it is one of the best ways to edit. You dive deeper and learn more about this topic that you never would have heard of outside of editing Wikipedia.&nbsp;[[User:Ryan Vesey|'''''Ryan''''']]&nbsp;[[User talk:Ryan Vesey|'''''Vesey''''']] 07:17, 5 August 2012 (UTC)

::Thanks, I'll dig into this over the next few days, as time allows. And actually, that sort of thing already has happened. Not long ago, my hometown newspaper printed [http://www.thenewstribune.com/2012/07/19/2220690/centennial-of-south-sound-speedway.html| this story], about a long-forgotten race track. As it happens, I'm a racing fan, so I went looking for more info. To my dismay, I found no article about the track on Wikipedia, [[Tacoma Speedway|so I decided to fix that]]. And then, [[Beverly Hills Speedway|one thing]] led to [[Board track racing|another]]... and now I'm turning into a bit of a historian specializing in this narrow topic of wooden board tracks.

I'm sorry if I have removed the comments on [[User talk:Dennis Brown]]'s talk page unintentionally, but I felt that it was [[WP:WIKIHOUND|wikihounding]] and I did it out of [[WP:AGF|good faith]].

Until then, I think Niemti will most likely be blocked indefinitely as a sockpuppet of the banned user {{vandal|HanzoHattori}}, based on this user's history and [[Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/HanzoHattori/Archive#26 July 2012|this most recent SPI investigation]], as well as [[WP:ROPE]].

:{{ec}}I'm assuming you have Twinkle installed. When I hover over the twinkle icon on your talk page, I can easily scroll over ARV warn and welcome. Once I scroll below that, the dropdown menu closes. It appears to have something to do with the source of your page. You noticed how the talkback message ended up being messed up as well. The Twinkle issue appears to be caused by [[User:Neutralhomer/TopMenu]].

Hey, Ryan, I replied to your post on the talk page. Do you really think this guy is doing anything but trolling? I mean, come on now. Looking at the content of the article (especially in the last section) and the way he wrote the objection leaves no doubt in my mind. [[User:Writ Keeper|Writ Keeper]] [[User Talk: Writ Keeper|&#9863;]][[Special:Contributions/Writ_Keeper|&#9812;]] 18:36, 7 August 2012 (UTC)
:I'm not sure, but when I saw the article, [[Godwin's Law]] immediately popped into my mind. I haven't done external searching, but if Lynfect's law was in fact a reasonable search term, it should redirect to Godwin's. He gave a reference to views without a source. Your google search sends me back into the obvious hoax column though.

::No worries. I actually think he used the Godwin's Law article as a template, copying the lede and find-replacing "Godwin's" with "Lynfect's"; it's definitely based on it at some level.

I know how badly you want to be an admin. The reason you won't be an admin any time soon is precisely because of that reason: you keep trolling, like you did on my talkpage and on Reapers talkpage.

Ryan you have stated your opinions on the matter; and honestly, did you really think the ''The spear that whale award'' was helpful here and not helping to flame up the situation even more?

Thanks for the messages Nolelover and Gerda Arendt! Long time no see! Things are going well for me. Just a bit busy for Wiki. I've considered returning to correct the abysmal state of a lack of articles for National Pro Fastpitch and their players. I need to take a look at the notability guidelines for professional fastpitch players though. These girls are at the top level of their sport, so if they're not all eligible for articles based on playing for an NPF team, I don't know that I'll take the time to figure out who is notable and who isn't. Ryan Vesey 00:19, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Always good to have a pet project. Let me know if you ever do! I'd be happy to have a reason to read more about fastpitch. Nole (chat·edits) 23:59, 16 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

A pagemove back in 2012

[edit]

Hi Ryan. This is a long-shot, but do you remember the circumstances around the DNA helix -> Non-helical DNA structure pagemove? I'm looking at the page (now called Obsolete models of DNA structure) as part of looking at fringe & pseudoscience more broadly. Happy for you to email if not appropriate to comment on-wiki!

T.Shafee(Evo&Evo)talk 06:36, 16 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I'm a bit late on this, but I can't remember too much, beyond the fact that it says "per IRC request". It seems likely that someone was requesting the page be moved and based on the content of the article, explaining that the topic was Non-helical DNA structure, I must have felt like that was a reasonable request vs. calling the article DNA helix. Ryan Vesey 22:11, 25 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
