EXPERTS: Cleanup help needed - Win 2003 - thread 3
Hello everyone,
Most of you know that I am responsible for the cleanup of the old questions. When the Asker leaves a question open and there is no activity in the question for more than 21 days, the question is called abandoned and it needs to be closed administratively. But for doing this, we need someone to review the question and make a recommendation. And that is what the Cleanup Volunteers are doing.
More information can be found here: https://www.experts-exchange.com/help.jsp#hs7
If you decide to help, please post here and I will assign you a range. Please do not post recommendation in any question that is not assigned to you.
Please if you see a recommendation in a question you had participated in, read it and post if you object, explaining why. This will help us a lot
Thanks in advance

Just let me know...thanks.
Well, I don't really know what this means: Someone I heard good words for :) ( I was told that you reply to pings )
lol, but I'm happy to help out...
I read through the process and these are my only questions:
1. Where's the "list"? (Like above you told VSG to take such and such...where do I find the questions you assign me?)
2. I'm a little confused about whether I'm posting in the actual question, or if I'm posting in the cleanup area only ??
3. How often will I need to do this and will I get an email or similar with the request to cleanup?

This means that Venabili said that you are one of the helping experts in this crazy area.
>>1. Where's the "list"? (Like above you told VSG to take such and such...where do I find the questions you assign me?)
In the same list you find questions to answer. :))
>>2. I'm a little confused about whether I'm posting in the actual question, or if I'm posting in the cleanup area only ??
Both :) Review some of the lists from Venabili to see how it is done
>>3. How often will I need to do this and will I get an email or similar with the request to cleanup?
Whenever you request a range from me :) I give ranges here in this thread :)

ASKER
So no more questions? The help page is read and clear?
Annie
Annie
Well, just so I'm crystal clear it goes like this:
1. You give me a range, and I find that range of questions (still not sure how to do this, do I just keep going through the "pages" until I get to Nov 2005 or similar and then start counting manually until my "range"?)
2. I post in the questions based on : leave a post which says, in essence, that you're recommending closure of the question, and delineates a specific course of action
3. Create a new "question" in the Cleanup Area with a list of the URLs I've posted in followed by a quick "recommendation" based on what I've posted in the original question. The name of the cleanup area question should be something like "Due **4days from now** Windows 2003"
4. Wait and let the moderators do their job. (Basically I'm lending my "expertise" on a topic area for the moderators to base their decisions on for closing a question finally)
I think that's about it, right? Although I don't understand this part of the Help section:
A small number of the open questions are those left by members and Moderators which give points to an Expert, usually the result of a split. Posting a notice in the question is highly unlikely to get a response from the person who is the intended recipient of the points, so these questions have to be handled differently. Currently, we ask that you keep a list of the URLs and email it to one of the Moderators. They'll take care of alerting the intended recipient of the existence and location of the question.
If you happen across a question that has a comment by a Moderator that says "Email sent", and that comment is more than two weeks old, include it on your list and schedule it for deletion.

1. It is easier to invert the list and start from the oldest questions ;) Then if you have 1-10th December for example, you start with the first question from 1st and end with the last from 10th :)
2. You post a post which looks EXACLY like the one in the help page.
3. Nope. It should be "Windows Server 2003 Cleanup due (today+4)"
4. yep.
:) This part is no more relevant. We took care of these long ago. I should remove it :)
:) Anything else? :)

OK, working them now...2 quick questions:
1. I notice that other cleanup has something like #123540 in brackets pointing to the comment 'URL'. I found in the source the comment Ref, but I don't know how to link to it other than the full question URL followed by #123450. Others seem to be able to put {#123450} and that links back to the full URL. Am I missing on how to do this? I am unaware of if I can post HTML code or how it would be done here.
2. What if I know the correct answer in detail and nobody else has posted the answer? For reference: https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/21684246/users-can-see-other-ftp-virtual-folders-when-browsing-with-ftp-software.html I know the answer to that. Do I post the answer there or do I just post a cleanup instead?
Thanks!

Hi Annie,
Consider this as me putting my hand up to do some cleanup in this area
TheCleaner - if you want to add those funky html bookmark tags (even tho you dont have to) i usually open up the source of the page, search for the date/time on the post i want to award points for, and just above that you will see an <a> number. For instance, your post is above is here -> http:Q_21799059.html#16362502 - search for <a name="16362502"></a> and you will see what i am talking about.
This adds SO much time to doing CV, but i still tend to do it everytime anyway - senior CV's use fastcat which does it automatically

The Cleaner,
And while doing this - ALL PAQ -NO REFUND should be changed to:
1. Delete - no refund if there is nothing worth saving
2. Accept/Split otherwise.
>>How can you not trust a cleanup vol with a name like "TheCleaner" ;)
:) Well... if someone posts too many PAQ - no refunds, this means that they either do not read the questions or prefer not to make decisions :) So we need to fix this first.

Annie,
I'm lost what you mean by "Post a new list with the combined lists from the comments and I will delete the comments", I didn't leave any comments other than the recommendations.
If you mean the separated lists, it's because I would have to leave my desk and didn't want to lose the work I'd done. Why would the mods not close them?
For the PAQ - No refunds, the help section said if the comments were worth keeping to hang on to them. Nobody gave the right answer to the question or not an answer that was obviously the answer, but I figured future searches on the same topic may give someone else the "answer" they were looking for.
I guess I need more guidance on this, because last time I handed out too many "accepts", and this time not enough.
I read through all the questions, and make the decision, so someone needs to show me examples of questions that were done incorrectly so I understand why my decision wasn't correct.

Not trying to step on any toes here, just trying to offer what is working for me.
If there is a clear answer, or a clear path to an answer - i will split or accept
(in the event that there are 2 paths, i usually accept or split with the BEST path, or if both are workable, split both ways)
If there is nothing clear, but there are good ideas - i will just delete it (refund or not, depending on asker interaction)
The PAQ is full as it is, and unless something is clear, i delete it.
I dont think I have ever PAQ - No Refunded. If it is worth PAQ'ing, something is worth Accepting - if nothing is worth Accepting, then it isnt worth PAQ'ing
I can only give you examples of my work, like a question (that I was involved in) dragged out and evolved. I split the points between me and another expert for the answers we gave "to the original question" irrespective of the fact that i had posted another 15 comments fixing evolving problems.
If you aren't sure, email Annie, or Alimu, or even me if you want - other opinions can help you realise what you have missed and why, and it all helps in the overall scheme of things

===========
That helps. I guess I didn't think about the fact that there are probably 50 PAQs for usually the same question.
Makes sense now.
The hard part is that I ended up thinking, "well, nobody gave the right answer or the author never thought so at least, even though the comments are 'possible answers'.

OK, made the changes, and posted a new "question" to handle all of the extra comments.
However, in the original "question" this one was there: https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/21622832/Veritas-Backup-exec-servcies-failed-to-start.html
so can you change that to say - delete - no refund ??
Other than that...I think that does it...
I should be able to help again next week, I'll let you know.

I got stuck with some work things, I am hoping to have some time tomorrow, and then some more over the next week to do some big cleanup work.
As the range allocated to me will be the largest, and I am doing the least with it, perhaps it would be a good idea to break it up and give some to another CV?
I dont want to ditch the whole range of april, but maybe it would be a good idea for me to at least give up a section of it?
If someone wants to take say 20th till the end of April, that would help

Venabili is keeping the 21 April - today-21 clean but I would orefer to move her out of the area at one point :)
What we will be facing after your ranges are done is something like a dayly cleanup - get all abandoned and so on... Which means that I will need at least 2 CVs so we can clean at least 3 times per week,,, ( if not everyday) or one that can spend half an hour/hour every day/every two days... . What do you think?
Annie

Hi Annie,
Sounds good to me, that's about what I'm doing. 30mn to 1 hr every day / 2 days is feasable for me. Could offer more on some days, but not on a regular basis. I'm still on my range, some LONG questions requiring some special attention, so, cleaning the "easiest" ones first, in order not to be too late ;o)

:) It is ok and I understand this.
red,
What do you think?
Another option will be:
Dayly/2 days cleanup in Win 2k3 for Jean-Michel ( when done regularly we speak for ~30 questions becoming 22 days old and the same ammount left for review from the previous days and a total of ~30 abandoned in heavy days - 5 in normal). See Venabili's lists from Win2k3 last 2 week to see what I talk about :)
The same in Exchange area for redseatechnologies
And Venabili as a backup for both of you
What do you think?

At the moment, I think I will have to be a backup CV for Jean-Michel.
There are days where I have hours and hours I can put into the site, and then there are weeks where I havent got time to eat! :)
I am currently in the middle of those hectic weeks, and this needs to be consistant, which is not really possible for me at the moment.
Jean-Michel, if you have time to do the bulk of the CV work, I am sure I will be able to make time when you are off, busy, whatever.

Good work :) I would prefer a bit more regular cleanup but the area looks ok so I won't grumble :)

Hi there
I'm trying to be as regular as possible, but due to holidays, I can't manage to have as a good view on my schedule as I would in "normal" conditions.
Plus, I'll be unavailable between July 29th and September 4th, so I'll try to cleanup as much as I can before going.

Hey Annie,

If you ever want to see how you are going, check this out
http://www.eeqp.com/stats/oqtest.html
you have about 200 questions *possibly* due for cleanup, which puts you at 13 on the list of most questions due
meanwhile, I have 342, which puts me at number 2....
It is updated every tuesday, so hopefully Exchange will be in better shape by then :)

You just wait till these 8 lists and 200 CV'd questions go through ;)
I forgot that eeqp stats got updated on a tuesday, so didnt get the lists in on time - but from my guess, there are about 200 possibles for Exchange (which will be about 250 by next tuesday assuming I dont do any CV'ing until then (which I wont))
I had a day off on monday and pretty much did exclusively EE stuff :)

:) OKey... but should I remind that you AGREED to do a daily cleanup ( missing some days now and then of course)? Because what you do is NOT what the area needs.
Do not get me wrong - I appreciate what you do BUT... if you cannot handle the area in the needed way, I may need to search other solutions. Because seeing such big numbers is not nice. Doing 200 questions in one day creates a lot of mails in someone's mailbox ( think Sembee for example - he gets at least 150 from this 200 + the regular for the day...) and this is what we try to avoid with having regular cleanup. The idea is to get the experts involved and commenting if they dissagree and with such cleanup you are NOT achieving it.
So I am asking the question for the last time: Will you do what agreed to ( a daily cleanup - I would agree on 4 days cycles basically when impossible but the goal is a daily one)?:) It is not because Annie is a bad person or something -- simply in the biggest area, this is the only way not to spam everyone and to keep the experts answering to cleanup messages...

If you look at my question history, you will see that I am doing daily cleanups.
Unfortunately, I have 390 odd questions that need to get done - Sembee chooses to participate in 75% of questions, the backlog needs to be cleared - there is not alternative but to spam his mailbox until I get it down to an acceptable level.
Considering he has never replied to one of my recommendations, he is either ignoring them totally, or trusts my judgment in cleanup enough to not care anymore.

Next week will be even better - and considering you are worried about me spamming Sembee, i don't see how I could do it any faster or better

As a matter of fact, and to be a little more serious :o) ... I thought that the fact of posting a recommendation would speed up the whole process (I had seen that CS was involved).
My interpretation was bad, and like you just said, I shouldn't touch anything "younger" than 21 days. Sorry again.
