Formal mediation has been requested edit

The Mediation Committee has received a request for formal mediation of the dispute relating to "Religion in Africa". As an editor concerned in this dispute, you are invited to participate in the mediation. Mediation is a voluntary process which resolves a dispute over article content by facilitation, consensus-building, and compromise among the involved editors. After reviewing the request page, the formal mediation policy, and the guide to formal mediation, please indicate in the "party agreement" section whether you agree to participate. Because requests must be responded to by the Mediation Committee within seven days, please respond to the request by 5 April 2012.

Discussion relating to the mediation request is welcome at the case talk page. Thank you.

Religion in Africa edit

I am willing to hold a conversation on this issue...and go through dispute resolution as necessary. But you have attempted to make radical changes to the article, fundamentally redefining its purpose and focus, and 3 separate people have rejected your position on the talk page. This does not mean your edits are useless, or that they can't even be eventually incorporated into the article. But right now there is no support for your position. Any time someone wants to make a radical change, the burden is on them to show that the change is better, and when other editors reject it, to establish a consensus in favor of the changes.

As such, I have reverted back again on the article. I do not mean to be threatening, but if you revert again, I will ask that you be blocked for edit warring. Insisting on your version, which is a radical change to the article, in the face of (so far) unanimous disagreement, is disruptive. Please, continue the discussion, please pursue dispute resolution (though you have to follow the process appropriately--you can't just jump directly to mediation), but don't edit war. Thank you. Qwyrxian (talk) 03:59, 31 March 2012 (UTC)Reply

Excuse me! the terms "hot air" and "blowing" comes into mind. No offense, but what is the matter? You didnt revert the previous version, because this occured in light of a fourth editor's comment. What you did however, is to remove 19 edits from the lead; You should STOP edit warring.
Now! If you could explain to me what is wrong with the stement "is multifaceted and has been a major influence on art, culture and philosophy".Otelemuyen 11:40, 31 March 2012 (UTC)

Request for mediation rejected edit

Article Feedback Tool updates edit

Hey all. My regular(ish) update on what's been happening with the new Article Feedback Tool.

Hand-coding

As previously mentioned, we're doing a big round of hand-coding to finalise testing :). I've been completedly bowled over by the response: we have 20 editors participating, some old and some new, which is a new record for this activity. Many thanks to everyone who has volunteered so far!

Coding should actively start on Saturday, when I'll be distributing individualised usernames and passwords to everyone. If you haven't spoken to me but would be interested in participating, either drop me a note on my talkpage or email okeyes wikimedia.org. If you have spoken to me, I'm very sorry for the delay :(. There were some toolserver database issues beyond our control (which I think the Signpost discussed) that messed with the tool.

New designs and office hours

Our awesome designers have been making some new logos for the feedback page :) Check out the oversighter view and the monitor view to get complete coverage; all opinions, comments and suggestions are welcome on the talkpage :).

We've also been working on the Abuse Filter plugin for the tool; this will basically be the same as the existing system, only applied to comments. Because of that, we're obviously going to need slightly different filters, because different things will need to be blocked :). We're holding a special office hours session tomorrow at 22:00 UTC to discuss it. If you're a regex nut, existing abuse filter writer, or simply interested in the feedback tool and have suggestions, please do come along :).

I'm pretty sure that's it; if I've missed anything or you have any additional queries, don't hesitate to contact me! Thanks, Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 14:48, 4 April 2012 (UTC)Reply

Article Feedback Tool, Version 5 edit

Hey all :)

Just a quick update on what we've been working on:

  • The centralised feedback page is now live! Feel free to use it and all other feedback pages; there's no prohibition on playing around, dealing with the comments or letting others know about it, although the full release comes much later. Let me know if you find any bugs; we know it's a bit odd in Monobook, but that should be fixed in our deployment this week.
  • On Thursday, 7th June we'll be holding an office hours session at 20:00 UTC in #wikimedia-office. We'll be discussing all the latest developments, as well as what's coming up next; hope to see you all there!
  • Those of you who hand-coded feedback; I believe I contacted you all about t-shirts. If I didn't, drop me a line and I'll get it sorted out :).

AFT5 release coming up - help us design a banner! edit

Hey all :). First-off, thanks to everyone for all their help so far; we're coming up to a much wider deployment :). Starting at the end of this month, and scaling up until 3 July, AFT5 will begin appearing on 10 percent of articles. For this release we plan on sending out a CentralNotice that every editor will see - and for this, we need your help :). We've got plans, we know how long it's going to run for, where it's going to run...but not what it says. If you've got ideas for banners, give this page a read and submit your suggestion!
