== NPP ==

Hi Tofu. We need your input on something. As you probably know there are current problems with New Page Patrolling. Take a look at the talk pages and archives of [[User talk:I dream of horses|this user]] and [[User talk:Baseball Watcher|this user]]. I think you might like to handle this yourself in your usual diplomatic way - they are working entirely in good faith but they do need suggesting they take a moment to revise [[WP:NPP]], [[WP:CSD]], and perhaps also [[Wikipedia:Why I Hate Speedy Deleters|this essay]]. We need all the NPPers we can get but we need them to slow down a bit, address the new page issues, strive for more accuracy, and perhaps aim for a slightly more formal approach when addressing new editors. We don't want to scare either the NPPers or the new editors off. --[[User:Kudpung|Kudpung]] ([[User talk:Kudpung|talk]]) 04:57, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

:Thanks for the note, I'll take a look. [[User:Tofutwitch11|<span style='font-family: "Arial Black"; color:Teal'><big>T</big><small>ofutwitch11</small></span>]]''' ^{<small>[[User talk:Tofutwitch11|<font color="Orange">(T<small>ALK</small>)</font>]]</small>}''' 19:27, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

::Don't take too long over this - every day is a potential 200 pages more that slip through the net. Let me know if you prefer me to handle it, but I think your skills are perfectly suited. Some of the improvements we have to make is insisting that Wikipedia is not MySpace, some of the contributors are illustrious professors or chiefs of industry, who might not be as tolerant of pre-teen talk as for example people like me who have worked with young people all their life. --[[User:Kudpung|Kudpung]] ([[User talk:Kudpung|talk]]) 03:14, 21 March 2011 (UTC)

:::I'll gladly talk to them about it, but I'm confused as to what exactly you want me to get across?

::::It might have resolved itself in the meantime, but if you have a look at the talk pages, there are far too many messages about wrong tagging and there are what I consider rather familiar tones they use when explaining things to new editors. Maybe I'm old fashioned, but even if I didn't take exception to it, I would personally get the idea that Wikipedia is not being run by very experienced people. Take a look and let me know what you think. I know you're busy on other stuff, but we're trying to build up a strong army of new page patrollers. --[[User:Kudpung|Kudpung]] ([[User talk:Kudpung|talk]]) 16:18, 21 March 2011 (UTC)

:::::Your absolutely correct. I am watching both of their talk pages and waiting until I see another NPP error pop up, or until I catch an error with their NPP'ing. It may seem a little BITEy if I just jump on them about it. If they fumble up again I'll pop my nose in there.

== [[WT:RFA]] ==

"now we have to act on it": my perspective is that recently people have been trying to find a step or two to take that isn't too small (otherwise, people will decide it did no good at all) and isn't too big (otherwise, when something goes wrong, as always happens, people will blame the big step and revert it). I think that people have suggested some solid, medium-sized steps on that page. - Dank ([[User talk:Dank|push to talk]]) 22:16, 25 March 2011 (UTC)

:We haven't really done anything to <s>fix</s>change RFA. We can't agree what is wrong -- if anything at all, but them we complain about it left and right. People have suggested many things, but it gets blown off because we can't get enough people to agree for it to be implemented. We are our worst enemy's.

::I always watchlist when I leave a msg, no need for talkback. Well it's true we've been talking for years and there haven't been any big process changes to RFA, but my wild guess is, that's about to change. We're not seeing the level of shouting and pushback we've always gotten before, and on top of that, the changes we're suggesting are largely in line with what the larger community wants anyway. - Dank ([[User talk:Dank|push to talk]]) 23:02, 25 March 2011 (UTC)

:::I leave TB because many people don't, I won't for you anymore. I can only hope it's about to change, I think you have a good idea there and I hope we go somewhere with it.

I was wondering where you got all of those new Washington National flights from BDL with Chautauqua and Pinnacle for Delta. You put no source, and on the Washington National (KDCA) Wikipedia page, there is nothing there saying those new flights to BDL. <small><span class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Pilotboy5|Pilotboy5]] ([[User talk:Pilotboy5|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Pilotboy5|contribs]]) 03:02, 27 March 2011 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

:You have to use Airline Booking engines (i.e. Delta.com, UsAirways.com etc) and Airlines timetables which are impossible to link to and reference.
