DYK for Cherry on Top

[edit]

On 21 July 2017, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Cherry on Top, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the music video for Oh Land's "Cherry on Top" is intended to serve as the first of three short films directed by Duncan Winecoff? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Cherry on Top. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Cherry on Top), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

I'm the illustrator who was commissioned for the Dreamcar album art

[edit]

Hi Caebrera I noticed you edited my change for the Dreamcar page. Please excuse me, I didn't think I did anything wrong. I was told months ago by a friend when the wikipedia Dreamcar page was made to make sure my info was on it. After the album debuted I noticed that my credits were never added. I would check every so often but it was never corrected. After 4 months I decided to take it into my own hand and finally do that today. I just took a photo of the album art insert to prove I Duane Diebolt/Master Control Program am the illustrator but I don't how to attach it to this. I was also going to re-edit the album art main photo but then you deleted my edit. I also have high resolution images of all the other art if needed.

Here is my link to my instagram account. If you look at some of the Dreamcar images you will see Tony, Tom and Steve the photography like and sometimes comment on my photos.

https://www.instagram.com/master_control_program/

thanks for your time, Duane Diebolt aka Master Control Program.

Dreamcar album art

[edit]

Thank you Carbrera for reverting my edit. I totally understand. Tbh I was disappointed my credit was never there in the first place but it's my own fault for not addressing it sooner.

Can I do something about the album art? Can I go in and edit the main photo? I'm not sure how to do it but I can just look up how to do it. Would it be good to show the backcover and insert art as well?

Haha I better see a new like on my instagram if you truly do like the art ;)

Thanks for your time, Duane

Hello again! I hope that everything is going well for you. If possible, I would greatly appreciate it if you could provide any feedback/commentary on my current FAC.

Heads up on GA reviews

[edit]

You may wish to hold off on adding the GA mark to pages you complete a successful GA review on, such as Charles Alston (gridiron football). The bot usually does that, and it doesn't alert editors that their article became a GA unless it adds the mark. I was pleasantly surprised to find the review had been completed! ~ Rob13Talk 16:35, 12 August 2017 (UTC)

There is a source from The Telegraph... Care to tell me why you felt the need to just remove pertinent sourcing and information?--PeterGriffinTalk2Me 20:22, 21 August 2017 (UTC)

Petergriffin9901 – Sure. I'm not that confident that The Daily Telegraph is a strong source to support such a strong statement. Plus it doesn't look mathematically possible that the album has sold 12 million worldwide. Regardless, the lead's mention of it is poorly worded and punctuated.

Just for the Record - Barbra

[edit]

I saw that you are doing a great article for Just for the Record by Barbra. And I would like you to know, that this boxset was certified as a multi-disc, and unfortunally this new RIAA website doesn't show us this information, as its previous one. Since it has 4 discs it was certified Gold for 125,000 and platinum for 250,000. You can see that its soundscan sales are around 400,000 in the article,that's why it was not certified 2x platinum (500,000). Same thing happens with her The Essential, The Concert and Timeless, all certified as a multidisc (Gold=250,000, Platinum 500,000) too.--88marcus (talk) 04:44, 26 August 2017 (UTC)

88marcus – Thank you! That is very helpful information. Speaking of, are there any other Streisand-related articles (singles, songs, or albums) that you would like to see expanded in the near future? Thanks, Carbrera (talk) 01:19, 27 August 2017 (UTC).
@Carbrera: Ok! Well, I hope you can do a very great expanded of her 60s albums. Classics like People need one.--88marcus (talk) 23:49, 28 August 2017 (UTC)

Possible help with "Barge of the Dead" FAC

[edit]

Hello again! I have decided to go back into the FAC process again, primarily just because I cannot help myself and I really want to see the articles that I have worked very hard on get the highest honor on here. I was wondering if you could possible provide some feedback on my current FAC? I understand if you do not have the time or if it falls outside of your interests. Either way, have a wonderful rest of your day, and good luck with your current and future projects. Aoba47 (talk) 00:14, 28 August 2017 (UTC)

WikiCup 2017 September newsletter

[edit]

Round 4 of the WikiCup has ended and we move forward into the final round. In round 4, a total of 12 FAs, 3 FLs, 44 GAs, 3 FLs, 79 DYKs, 1 ITN and 42 GARs was achieved, with no FPs or FTs this time. Congratulations to Peacemaker67 on the Royal Yugoslav Navy Good Topic of 36 items, and the 12 featured articles achieved by Cas Liber (5), Vanamonde93 (3), Peacemaker67 (2), Adityavagarwal (1) and 12george1 (1). With a FA scoring 200 points, and bonus points available on top of this, FAs are likely to feature heavily in the final round. Meanwhile Yellow Evan, a typhoon specialist, was contributing 12 DYKs and 10 GAs, while Adityavagarwal and Freikorp topped the GAR list with 8 reviews each. As we enter the final round, we are down to eight contestants, and we would like to thank those of you who have been eliminated for the useful contributions you have made to the Cup and Wikipedia. The lowest score needed to reach round 5 was 305, and I think we can expect a highly competitive final round.

Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 4 but before the start of round 5 can be claimed in round 5. Remember too that you must claim your points within 10 days of "earning" them. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. It would be helpful if this list could be cleared of any items no longer relevant. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to reduce the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck, and let the best man (or woman) win! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

So the 2017 WikiCup has come to an end. Congratulations to the winner, to the other finalists and to all those who took part. 177 contestants signed up, more than usual, but not all of them submitted entries in the first round. Were editors attracted by the cash prizes offered for the first time this year, or were these irrelevant? Do the rules and scoring need changing for the 2018 WikiCup?

The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.
