New Page Patrol survey[edit]

New page patrol – Survey Invitation

Hello Okeyes (WMF)! The WMF is currently developing new tools to make new page patrolling much easier. Whether you have patrolled many pages or only a few, we now need to know about your experience. The survey takes only 6 minutes, and the information you provide will not be shared with third parties other than to assist us in analyzing the results of the survey; the WMF will not use the information to identify you.

If this invitation also appears on other accounts you may have, please complete the survey once only.
If this has been sent to you in error and you have never patrolled new pages, please ignore it.

Please click HERE to take part.
Many thanks in advance for providing this essential feedback.

You are receiving this invitation because you have patrolled new pages. For more information, please see NPP Survey. Global message delivery 12:30, 26 October 2011 (UTC)

[1][edit]

I corrected the spelling of "EEditors", then saw the history and realized that you had added that. Just wanted to make sure its not some acronym or some such I'm not aware of. Undone myself, but I guess you should know that it currently looks rather odd... Nolelover 14:07, 15 February 2012 (UTC) Oh, no, my screwup. headdesk! Thanks :). It looks like when I was copying changes over I accidentally delete-and-pasted from immediately after first character, rather than immediately before it.

All the best. I hope that you find success, and that we don't lose you permanently from the content and test & challenge space. — billinghurst sDrewth 01:53, 24 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, not in the slightest! My first project is getting the Wikipedia article on Aaron Burr to GA status. I have so much work to get done :D. Ironholds (talk) 12:51, 24 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Original barntar[edit]

Ironholds, I appreciate your courage and candor in your explanation for your departure, and in your Signpost op-ed. We've had some agreements and differences over the years. I want you to know that I appreciate your technical work at the Foundation and your transparency about aspects at WMF that need to be addressed. Thank you, and best wishes. --Pine^✉ 06:45, 25 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
