Hi Media-hound-thethird! Thanks for participating at the Teahouse, as you experience is so valuable for educating new editors about Wikipedia! I would like to encourage you to consider becoming a Teahouse host. You can learn a bit more about the Teahouse hosts here. They're the team behind the Teahouse and provide a lot of input about it's growth process. That link will also tell you about the mission behind the Hosts and what makes us different than other help spaces on Wikipedia - we say hi, we're friendly, and we're not chock full of jargon. I look forward to your continued participation. Thank you for all you do! Sarah (talk) 00:50, 15 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Media-hound! I was wondering if you would be willing to glance over Battle of Verdun and tell me if it looks pretty good. I've submitted it for re-assessment to B-class, and I'm a little nervous about it, haha. Timeweaver (talk) 21:49, 21 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment refactored Wikipedia:Refactoring as it was placed on page whilst the page was in edit mode - Page "preview" does not show such comments that have arrived once editing has commenced - thereby providing a misleading time line of communication and knowledge. Recommended Reading
Hey, I think I've seen you say that you are good at finding sources. I would like to find some sources for Vincent Price (educator) that aren't affiliated with the school. I'll start looking through the DP, but I'm really looking for biographical information and I doubt that the newspaper will provide it. It is difficult to look through the web, because it is flooded with results for Vincent Price the actor. Ryan Vesey Review me! 03:43, 6 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You could also click on the signature button
or
located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when they said it. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 02:22, 10 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Greetings, Media Hound 3. I was happy to see you mention the shortcut to getting refs from Google books in a message at the Teahouse. Unfortunately the link isn't working for me. It might be my computer, however, as it is starting to give me problems and I think I'm going to have to give it to somebody to look at. I'll really miss it! But I wanted to let you know so you could double check it and make sure it's OK. I'm saving it for later, because it could really save me some time.
I'm so glad you're helping out at the Teahouse, you have a great combination of knowledge and the ability to handle questions in a simple, friendly manner. Thanks for the time you put in. Tlqk56 (talk) 16:17, 11 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your reply. For some reason that link works -- YEA! And I will definitely look into the other things you listed. It's nice not to get inundated with info when you're really new, but I agree it can be harder to find the helpful tips than it should be. When I think of the hours I spent trying to find where I'd messed up a ref when I first started! I like using the drop down menu in the editing window now. But it's still a lot of cut-and-paste, and I'm a sloppy typist who needs new glasses, so I still waste time with silly errors.
Can I ask you another question? I find I'm wasting time getting to the various sandboxes I've created. Right now I have to click on My Watchlist, then on View and Edit Watchlist, then scroll down and find the one I want and click on it. Is there a way to make a shortcut to them, maybe with tabs at the top of my user page or something? Or just a common sense way to get there quicker? Typing it in isn't really a solution, as I can't always remember what I've called them, and I'm still slow with the symbols. Thanks again.
And yes, for heaven's sake, let's not make it easy on the newbies. Reminds me of my grandmother getting a little upset at a friend of hers who didn't like having a new family from Mexico in her neighborhood, saying we should send them all back where they came from. Grandma reminded her her family wasn't native to eastern CO, either. Ask her if she was volunteering to go back to the then USSR. :) Tlqk56 (talk) 17:13, 11 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
...is the sincerest form of flattery. I copied your RFC box, played around with it just a bit, and have it on my User page to keep track of my article in progress. Thanks! Tlqk56 (talk) 02:14, 12 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The barnstar made me laugh. Thanks! I used to go backpacking in the Rockies with my family, a couple of years ago (haha). It's nice to know there are still some mountains to climb.

Hey, Media-hound, since you're insistent about throwing the language of NLT at AtG, here's your talkpage request, from a totally uninvolved editor no less: your language on AnkhMorphok's page (particularly the sentence "If they continue a formal complaint should be made", coming immediately after references to the UK cyberbullying law) could easily be interpreted as a legal threat; please retract it per our policy on legal threats, which you apparently have already read.

Your edit above, and that on User talk:Writ Keeper are just the latest in a series of attacks on AndyTheGrump, see this ANI thread passim and especially this post, where you accuse ATG of dishonesty and bad faith and discreditable motives (over and over again), lynching, bullying and harassment; not to mention that old chestnut about 'driving editors away' (please specify, what editors are those?), etc etc. I don't know where you got the idea that these kinds of attacks are acceptable. If you do it again, I will block you from editing. Bishonen | talk 01:01, 25 January 2013 (UTC).[reply]

Morgan, and John Riedl: The Rise and Decline of an Open Collaboration System: How Wikipedia’s Reaction to Popularity Is Causing Its Decline (Full Text)[1]
"Abstract:Open collaboration systems, such as Wikipedia, need to maintain a pool of volunteer contributors to remain relevant. Wikipedia was created through a tremendous number of contributions by millions of contributors. However, recent research has shown that the number of active contributors in Wikipedia has been declining steadily for years and suggests that a sharp decline in the retention of newcomers is the cause. This article presents data that show how several changes the Wikipedia community made to manage quality and consistency in the face of a massive growth in participation have ironically crippled the very growth they were designed to manage. Specifically, the restrictiveness of the encyclopedia’s primary quality control mechanism and the algorithmic tools used to reject contributions are implicated as key causes of decreased newcomer retention. Furthermore, the community’s formal mechanisms for norm articulation are shown to have calcified against changes—especially changes proposed by newer editors."[1]
Given that so much research shows that there are gender differences in perception of Threat arising form on-line conduct which the person receiving it sees as Physical Threat, the calcification and even Fossilisation of view and attitude within Wikipedia to attitudes and norms which do not address such reality is damaging - and it does have a massive affected upon editor retention and simply acts to Promote Systemic Bias
"Conclusion: Wikipedia has changed from the encyclopedia that anyone can edit to the encyclopedia that anyone who understands the norms, socializes himself or herself, dodges the impersonal wall of semi-automated rejection, and still wants to voluntarily contribute his or her time and energy can edit."[1]

You were warned repeated (here and on ANI) against continuing your personal attacks on other editors. You continued [1]. So now you are blocked. Fut.Perf. ☼ 07:13, 25 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Media-hound- thethird (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))
Request reason:
UNBLOCK REQUESTED
Sobering Finding from Electronic Communication Harassment Observation (ECHO)
50% of people subjected to On-line abuse-harrasmnt suffer PTSD related symptomatology.
This is stated and the sources provided to ensure that editor or admin has that fact in mind as they read details of abuse and bullying here in Wiki laid out below.
Also Meet AndyTheGrumpyVandal - 07:07, January 25, 2013 and [- Quite detailed concerns about his established patterns of abuse - including Homophobia, Transphobia and long term established history of personal attacks and blocks]
Could this Highly Questionable Block kindly be reviewed in light of the ongoing WP:DRAMA and history of DRAMA that the editor AndyTheGrump has been linked to.
1.) His activity at ANI in making misleading claims about BLP Violation which he shared blame for whilst he used it to attack anther editor. Diffs
1 - Smokes Screens Do Not Aide Clarity Or Reality
5 - Again - Kindly stop your misconduct and refrain from behaviour which is Bullying and Harassing.
It is interesting that in asking for much misconduct - misdirection - mendacity and twisting of wiki I am supposedly derailing in the view of AndyTheGrump ?
It is fascinating that he kept expanding the ANI entries under the heading [A gross breach of WP:BLP at the 'Derby sex gang' article.] - To which he has added FOUR Subheadings and flooded the whole subject with yet more layers of misdirection, false and constructed claims all of which waste time and effort in having to address - and please not It Is NOt Possible To Prove The Negative.
So he keeps adding to his misdirection - attempt to hide the questions of his failed conduct and confuse readers who were unwary of his patterns of misconduct - or even empower sympathetic ones to cherry pick. YET more Smoke An Mirrors. He evidently loves the attention it gains him.
I fear that Fut.Perf. has been happily misdirected by the ongoing misuse and manipulation of Wiki systems and content by AndyTheGrump - as has also been revealed as part of his BLOCK which is featuring on ANI.
I think that it needs to be reassessed - especially as the editor Fut.Perf. has been focusing upon the ongoing claims of AndyTheGrump under only a subheading created to claim that my responses and requests above were derailing so as to further AndyTheGrump's pattern of misdirection and attack upon editors who are not gulled or beguiled by his (now revealed) well developed antics.
I remain concerned that manipulation of content in this way is yet again being used to cause editors(Especially Admns) to see what Manipulators wish and not the bigger picture. It is a known pattern of exploitation of person/interface in the areas of Cyber Abuse-Harrassmnt-Bulying, and indicates that unwary editors(Especially Admns) are being made agents of the abusers.
I also note that AndyTheGrump has been happy to state his intent to vandalise - his seeking to support around mental health after he has been bocked (Feigned Victimhood - 3rd stage of serial bully defence - Avoiding acceptance of responsibility - denial, counterattack and feigning victimhood )
He has had to be blocked because of his activity and the discussion ANI reveals that he has a well established history of WP:DRAMA and misconduct of which this last morass is just the latests example. I personally ho0pe he received a permanent ban so that other Editors can be free from his machinations, mendacity and peculiar needs to falsity reality around his own needs. #
I would also welcome the opportunity to get on with the work I was doing - such as Editing the page which AndyTheGrump started all the WP:DRAMA over - Derby sex gang and which AndyTheGrump has so studiously ignored since his aim of WP:DRAMA has been achieved. As I have made clear from 19:26, 23 January under "This Article Needs A Full Overhall & Line By Line Verification.", my focus has been on addressing error and improving content - so if you don't mind I'd like to get back to that so that the Highly questionable content that still remains is improved and risk of further abuse and WP:DRAMA removed.
Further to that I would welcome the opportunity to get back to my work in getting these pages finished and published - inspite of other's need for WP:DRAMA and being a central focus in their own Wiki Realm.
and some actually question why quality editors walk away never to return when these Shenanigans by Abusive and Bullying Editors are allowed to Run Riot... and 50% of people abused that way end up suffering PTSD related symptoms.
If I am to not be unblocked please let me know why so that I can advise my contacts via amnesty that they will need to find another Wikipedian who is willing to finish the work and risk the ever present WP:DRAMA, time wasting, fatigue and all the other elements of the Serial Bullies art.....
