The AMA Alert System is a communication board for members of the Association of Members' Advocates. It works by Advocates adding a template to their talk page which displays summaries when this page is updated. If you are not a member of the AMA, you don't need to worry about this.

When there is an Alert posted, the template displays. When there is no current alert, the template becomes invisible.

If there is a request to report in, leave Steve a message on his talk page if you are available.

Other Alerts are posted below in the "Current Alerts" section.

[edit] Current Alerts

[edit] Meeting is open

The current AMA Meeting is open! אמר Steve Caruso _(desk/AMA) 06:28, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Meeting Suggestions

It looks like we'll be having a meeting at some point soon, on Steve's return (hopefully). Please list any topics up for discussion here. Thanks, Martinp23 15:55, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] New IRC

Please log in to #AMA-Wikipedia, and verify on this list. The reason for the change is to facilitate some wiki-linking scripts and to "re-launch" the channel. Thanks Martinp23 22:04, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Old Alerts

[edit] Phasing out old request system

The old request system is starting to break under the volume that we're getting hit with. It can handle, easily, around 20 requests or so posted at the same time, but now we're up to 50 and sorting through that list, removing the closed cases and moving the open ones down is a royal pain.

Over the next few days, I'll be phasing out the old system and implementing the new one which can be found at Category:AMA Requests for Assistance. This one is designed to scale up to thousands of requests (if need be) as well as provide an easier way to classify and archive them as they finish.

Edit: The new system proposed procedures are posted on the Category talk page: Category_talk:AMA_Requests_for_Assistance.

If everyone can, please take the time to close all of your finishes cases on the WP:AMARQ board.

[edit] Cases to be closed

Please close completed cases on the Requests page. --\/\/slack (talk) 16:48, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] All available Advocates please report in

Everyone who is available to take a case who I haven't asked to look at a case yet please leave me a message on my talk page. I have a bunch of cases who need you :-) Thanks! אמר Steve Caruso _(desk/AMA) 19:35, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

UPDATE: This is wonderful! Thank you to everyone who reported in :-) In order to eliminate our backlog, all we need are two more Advocates who are willing to accept cases (both of which appear to be rather small). Please leave me a notice on my talk page if you're free. Thanks! אמר Steve Caruso _(desk/AMA) 02:40, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

FURTHER UPDATE: Unfortunately, now we are in need of 4 more Advocates total. Please send me a line if you are available. :-) אמר Steve Caruso _(desk/AMA) 18:36, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

I'm in. General Eisenhower • (at war or at peace) 21:32, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

Excellent! :-) Thank you General :-) אמר Steve Caruso _{(desk/AMA/vote for me)} 11:49, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

CURRENT STATUS: We are currently in need of two more Advocates for two new cases that were posted. אמר Steve Caruso _{(desk/AMA/vote for me)} 11:49, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

I'm sort of on one, but seems like it's worked itself out so I could do another one if needed. Pedant 18:32, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Might be able to take on another one. Æon ^{Insane Ward} 16:43, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

I'm available! Wikiwoohoo 23:24, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

I'm new, but if you think one of the cases is appropriate for me, I can take one...I just finished the first one you gave me. DPeterson^talk 01:44, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

I'll take any case except the one I reported. -Diabolos 06:09, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

I'm able to take a case. -Royalguard11^Talk 23:22, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

Available, and willing. Let me know WormwoodJagger 23:56, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

AMA Meeting page up. אמר Steve Caruso _(desk/AMA) 14:15, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Testing the system: All Advocates please read

This is the first time I'm testing the system out, and you have probably recieved this template on your talk page because your username is listed on the Association of Members' Advocates pages somewhere. Please take this time to go to the Advocates accepting inquiries page and update your status (or add/remove yourself if necessary) and Member Statements to update your personal blurb. Advocates who are not interested in participating with the Alerts system, simply remove the {{AMA alerts}} template from their talk page.

Overall, I need to know who is still active within the organization and their status, as we have cases that need Advocates.

Furthermore, I will also soon be combining the Member Statements, Advocates accepting inquiries, and the Main AMA page member roster into a single new page that will handle all of those tasks combined and reduce redundant lists, so please be sure to have all of them updated with your latest information.

I also strongly suggest that all active Advocates also make use of the two userboxes that we have, as the first identifies you as an Advocate, where the second gives a method to transmit your most up-to-date status to other Wikipedia templates.

This user is part of the Association of Members' Advocates.

{{User wikipedia/Association of Members' Advocates}}

This Advocate is: VERY busy    (e)

{{User wikipedia/Association of Members' Advocates/Status}}

Please read up on both of these. Thanks!
