User talk:EpochFail

 Dear, Welcome to MediaWiki.org !

Yes, Welcome! This site is dedicated to the documentation of the MediaWiki software, the software behind many wikis, including that of Wikipedia and the Wikimedia Foundation projects.

Please, take a look at the following pages. They might prove useful to you as a newcomer here:
 * Project:About
 * How does MediaWiki work?
 * Help:Editing pages
 * Help:Navigation
 * Manual:FAQ

If you have any questions, please ask me on my talk page. Once again, welcome, and I hope you quickly feel comfortable here, and find this site a beneficial documentation of the MediaWiki software. Thanks, and regards, Diego Grez ¡hablemos! 17:19, 23 July 2010 (UTC)

Please provide feedback on suggested improvements to the Code of Conduct
Thanks to everyone who’s helped work on the Code of Conduct so far.

People have brought up issues they feel were missed when working on "Unacceptable behavior" and "Report a problem". Consultants have also suggested changes in these same sections.

These are important sections, so please take a look at the proposed changes. I apologize that this feedback arrived later than planned, but I think this will create a better document.

If you prefer to give your opinion privately, feedback via e-mail is welcome at conduct-discussion@undefinedwikimedia.org.

OAuth administrator
Hi. I was cleaning up some user groups and noticed that you are listed as an OAuth administrator here, but that group was migrated to meta wiki. Any objections to removal? Thanks, --DannyS712 (talk) 05:35, 19 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Hey DannyS712! If removing that right here wouldn't affect my ability to review OAuth proposals, that's cool with me. :) --EpochFail (talk) 13:52, 19 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Requested on meta - it won't have any effect --DannyS712 (talk) 17:57, 19 December 2019 (UTC)

ORES
Hello! I saw in a video (from 2017) that you were trying to implement a form of grammar check as part of the ORES system. Did your team ever succeed in that? Sam at Megaputer (talk) 23:07, 7 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Hey Sam at Megaputer! I'm sorry I missed your message in December.  I don't manage the Wikimedia Scoring Platform team anymore.  It seems like the team is now more focused on infrastructure than modeling work.  But I do still work with other volunteers to make models work better in ORES.  Do you have some ideas for grammar checking that you're interested in exploring? --EpochFail (talk) 16:41, 22 January 2021 (UTC)
 * My company's software has a grammar check feature that looks for about ~200 grammar rules and then generates a report. I found previously that this report has predictive power in vandalism detection, and I bet it would be useful to ORES. I know that ORES is open source (and that it wants to stay that way), but it might be possible to work this in as a closed source extension or something? I'm going to be releasing a read-only tool based on this grammar check feature sometime soon. Sam at Megaputer (talk) 22:58, 25 January 2021 (UTC)
