Big welcome to the article rescue squadron

Here to help articles tagged for rescue!

Hi, FeydHuxtable, welcome to the Article Rescue Squadron! We are a growing community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to identifying and rescuing articles that have been tagged for deletion. Every day hundreds of articles are deleted, many rightfully so. But many concern notable subjects and are poorly written, ergo fixable and should not be deleted. We try to help these articles quickly improve and address the concerns of why they are proposed for deletion. This covers a lot of ground and your help is appreciated!

If you have any questions, feel free to ask on the talk page, and we will be happy to help you.

And once again - Welcome! Ikip (talk) 19:26, 20 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

A page you started has been reviewed!

Thanks for creating Hunger in the United Kingdom, FeydHuxtable!

Wikipedia editor Theopolisme just reviewed your page, and wrote this note for you:

Looks good, thanks for the new article! Have you considered a WP:DYK?

To reply, leave a comment on Theopolisme's talk page.

Council

Yes, probably a non-starter. OK...maybe no "probably" LOL! Funny thing though. Right after I wrote that I noticed that someone was proposing a "committee" for BLP issues. Who knows what will be accepted or rejected on Wikipedia these days. Just trying to get new editors to understand COI and other more basic concepts of policy and guideline seem wasted on deaf ears these days. So many are here just to make a point or fix a perception of their company or as actual paid marketing staff.--Amadscientist (talk) 20:00, 10 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I never really attended an Occupy GA, until I helped to organize a very short lived version of an OWS demonstration in my own town. Our group considered the fact that we lived in our town and owned homes and worked in the area to be our "occupation". We didn't protest, we demonstrated and we actually worked with the local authorites to insure we were not doing anything that would put a single person in harms way. But...it fell apart because of the very things you mention and all due to a single person that refused to accept the consensus others.--Amadscientist (talk) 20:39, 10 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps its a common feature of quasi anarchist communities. Jimbo's idea to start Wikipedia was so timely, fitting so well with the wider need of internet users, and so well protected by positional factors from rivals, that the project survives and even thrives despite these issues. Although probably a lot less efficiently and with much more unnecessary distress caused than if we had good old fashioned hierarchy, lol. It might even be better if the community doesnt fix RfA, as it will force the Foundation & Jimbo to act, setting a useful precedent. Thanks for the chat, its been most interesting! FeydHuxtable (talk) 20:54, 10 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I agree. One last classical analogy...Rome began as a Monarchy, became a Republic and then went back to singular rule...which then attempted to resurrect a dual leadership that split the empire. Hmmmmmmmmm. Wikipedia I and Wikipedia II perhaps. LOL! (I wonder how close to reality that will turn out to be? I'm no oracle but....)--Amadscientist (talk) 22:38, 10 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Maybe Wikipedia needs a King. Someone to take Jimbo's place. Someone with a far-ranging vision that doesn't get stuck in the mud of drama. Winston Churchill-like. Protective to a fault. A final arbiter. Completely trusted by the Wikipedia Society. Some enemies, sure, but would see them as just a pack of wild un-trained dogs nipping at his/her heals. ```Buster Seven Talk 13:34, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Shadow banking system

Hi there, Feyd. I left a reply at Talk:Shadow banking system with a suggestion to add some sources, if you're game. I wish to avoid direct editing, but I'd also like to avoid being annoying! Hope to see you back there when you have a moment. Cheers, WWB Too (Talk · COI)

Hey, I appreciate your update on the page over the weekend. I can leave alone the request on which we don't see eye-to-eye, and I've actually got some additional improvements in the works. I've just posted a request to update the first, fourth and fifth paragraphs of the article's first section: mostly adding citations, but also making a few changes for clarity. Would you mind looking at them? Thanks, WWB Too (Talk · COI) 15:37, 16 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you

Thank you for taking the time to participate in my RfA. I hope that I will be able to improve based on the feedback I received and become a better editor. AutomaticStrikeout 22:53, 16 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Andy Haldane

Firstly, for info only, I've plagiarised your wikiotter. Re Haldane, the article needs expanding. Any chance of a good photo? I'm familiar with uploading -as I suspect you are. Regards JRPG (talk) 13:14, 31 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Nice work on Credit theory of money

Hi Feyd, Just want to say that you've done a bang up job with Credit theory of money. I've just read through it and am really impressed with what a nice article it's turned into (especially considering the conspiracy theory inspired malarkey that used to be there). Great job! LK (talk) 06:21, 2 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks LK! The kind words are most appreciated, especially coming from your good self. Ive been finding the concept useful, to think Id not have paid it much attention if it hadnt been for the Colonel. Quite a coincidence you should mention this now, have some interesting RL work going down involving this. It might all come to nothing depending on events next week, so wont bother you for now, but if things go as planned I might email you as I suspect youd find it pleasing to know. Thanks again. FeydHuxtable (talk) 15:12, 2 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Simone Weil

Thanks for your comment Feyd, I'm glad you found it useful. Whether Weil would have eventually been sent to France is debatable (inevitably some recruits were weeded out during the training courses) but SOE did send some pretty unusual agents into France.

Shadow banking system

Hi there, Feyd. It's been awhile since you looked at a previous request of mine for the Shadow banking system article and I've made another couple of requests there, one of which has been resolved and another that has not yet received any reply. I wondered, given your interest in the topic, if you'd be willing to consider the latest change that I've proposed for an update adding citations and further context to the Shadow banks' role in the financial system and their modus operandi section. My request is here on the Shadow banking system Talk page. Cheers, WWB Too (Talk · COI) 20:48, 15 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks so much

Feyd, thanks very much for the Barnstar over at Wikimedia Commons, I really appreciate it! I hope you're doing well! Thanks again, — Cirt (talk) 07:58, 16 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Feyd

You should drop me an email some time, we should get to know one another. best, —Tim /// MutantPop@aol.com /// Carrite (talk) 01:58, 10 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Please take a look at this article

I reviewed your vast experience and wanted to contact you about helping to resolve a dispute. I'm being teamed up against by a group of self-avowed libertarians. I don't care that they are libertarians (or if you are) except for the fact they are using their ideology to skew the Koch Industries article. When I post positive things about Koch, they don't blink an eye, but if I dare put up anything critical, it gets deleted and frowned upon without balance. I'm trying to round up some disinterested third party input so I'm not getting steamrolled by biased editors. My goal is to make the article more informative and encyclopedic and that's it. Here's the current critical part of the Talk Page. Thank you. Cowicide (talk) 20:48, 21 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I see it's been just yourself versus 4 editors who all seem to be either Libertarians or conservatives. But from a quick look, wikipedia policy is broadly on their side, and the articles not too far off from NPOV (something that can be very different from the truth). So sorry but I'd advise disengaging. I'll try to give you a more detailed and helpful reply later. FeydHuxtable (talk) 08:59, 22 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I was expecting to post some advice on the advantages of assuming good faith when dealing with Libertarians. But checking your recent interactions , it looks like my advice would be unnecessary. Im not up for getting involved directly with KB articles, but if you wanted to know my general thoughts on the matter I'd be happy to either email or continue this discussion on your talk page. FeydHuxtable (talk) 16:40, 23 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
(stalker) I was just passing by when I saw this. Sad to say, without looking, I was sure I knew who at least one of the editors was. ......I just looked........I was right. You would be better off trying to "herd cats".```Buster Seven Talk 01:37, 4 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Very true Buster. You remind me of an article I've been looking at about honest politicians. If there's a task that makes even coordinating wikipedians look easy, its trying to forge consensus with political activists, who tend to make even the average editor look softly spoken and unopinionated. Any many think politicians are incompetent as they often find it far harder to get things done than say in a well run work place. No wonder many turn into habitual liers, as without that or supernatural charm or force of personality they might as well be farming felines. FeydHuxtable (talk) 07:48, 7 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Invitation to WikiProject Breakfast

Hello, FeydHuxtable.

You are invited to join WikiProject Breakfast, a WikiProject and resource dedicated to improving Wikipedia's coverage of breakfast-related topics.
To join the project, just add your name to the member list. Northamerica1000(talk) 17:32, 6 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]


Thanks North. Im not usually up for joining new projects as you know, but as this one seems to have been created by one of most impressive model editors, I'll probably make an exception. I'd like to write an article on Breakfast Clubs, to complement our coverage of other food aid facilities like Food Banks and Soup Kitchens. Will join the project once I get a few hours to research and write it. Thanks again for the invite! FeydHuxtable (talk) 22:02, 15 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Hello Feyd: Thanks for the kind words, and for signing on with the project. When your article is published, please feel free to post it at the New articles section at the project page. Cheers, Northamerica1000(talk) 08:40, 22 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Editor of the Week

Editor of the Week
Your ongoing efforts to improve the encyclopedia have not gone unnoticed: You have been selected as Editor of the Week, for willingness to help other users out by editing and simply being friendly. Thank you for the great contributions! (courtesy of the Wikipedia Editor Retention Project)

User:Buster7 submitted the following nomination for Editor of the Week:

FeydHuxtable (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) is a man of Peace, a WikiOtter. He does not have an abundance of edits but the ones he has are purposeful. He has created half a dozen articles on noted economist John Maynard Keynes and has worked extensively on others. Always respectful to his fellow editors, Editor Huxtable is a true example of what a collaborator should be. This is an editor that obviously works at the hard choice of resisting drama and focuses instead on the article. Insightful, reasonable, and a healthy partner in the editing process. I am proud to nominate him for Editor of the Week. ```Buster Seven Talk

You can copy the following text to your user page to display a user box proclaiming your selection as Editor of the Week:

FeydHuxtable is a WikiOtter
 
Editor of the Week
for the week beginning April 28, 2013
With us since 2008, FeydHuxtable is an editor who prefers to stay under the radar and away from the drama. He believes that Nothing lasting is founded on force and never forgets that there are real people behind the usernames who edit Wikipedia. He calls himself a WikiOtter, and is willing to help other editors by being friendly. He has been with the Article Rescue Squadron since 2009 and has been responsible for rescuing many articles from AfD. He is a true example of a friendly and hardworking editor all of us should emulate.

  • A sincere thank you for the gift of your time here. One of the nice things about the Editor of the Week program is it gives me a chance to go through and check out the contributions of a recognized editor, and what I found was highly constructive edits and sound reasoning in discussion. It isn't about quantity of edits, it is about quality, something you obviously already "get". Glad to see you recognized for your dedication over the years.

~blushing~ Thanks all! I really appreciate this award. Buster, thanks especially for the very kind nomination, and I'm equally honored to count you as a wiki friend too. I'm not sure I deserve to be called a man of Peace, but it's nice to hear :-) . FeydHuxtable (talk) 08:17, 29 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
In considering the matter, I notice that Feyd styles himself a WikiOtter, which seems appropriate. Myself, I'm more of a WikiDragon and it is said that "...a WikiDragon and a WikiOtter working in collaboration could potentially form a powerful team that could accomplish nearly any goal". There's even a meeting place to bring them together. By coincidence, I have just created a fresh topic which Feyd might wish to playfully explore. This combines economics with biological insight, rather like the WikiFauna concept. And IIRC, Feyd is quite tall too — it all makes sense...
Warden (talk) 11:56, 29 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Colonel, it's certainly an honor to have worked together with yourself as a team, saving many valuable articles from destruction. If only I had the heroic character needed to venture into AfD more often. It is quite a conincidence about the your new creation - the Lucy Kellaway piece was one of the first articles I read on Monday, as it was featured on the front page of the FT. I was glad to read that for business success going bald is seen as a positive, lol. FeydHuxtable (talk) 07:55, 5 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • As a mark of awesomeness, you also get to keep this cool box you see on the right, and have bragging rights to display it anywhere you want :)
You also get your own place in our very own Hall of Fame.
[Some technical problems with the box still remain, but we promise to sort them out ASAP ;) ]
