FYI, I will agree to a WP:CONSENSUS determined at an RFC after User:Rjanag gets back to me with some statistics on the project. I understand that it will take at least a week after he creates the new category to have the data. I am drafting the RFC here. You can follow along.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/WP:FOUR/WP:CHICAGO/WP:WAWARD) 08:14, 1 August 2013 (UTC)

Thanks Tony, that's a good idea, although you might want to work on the summaries a bit more. Things like "The only way to protect the stability of the project is to authorize a directorship" and "Changing the stages by which the criteria of the award are judged means that currently approved articles may be rejected for awards" require large [citation needed]'s after them.

The Signpost: 31 July 2013

[edit]

I had never seen it before and thought it was very interesting and eyecatching. It looks like one of those 3-D pictures that you have to train you eye to see in 3D. --108.45.72.196 (talk) 15:59, 6 August 2013 (UTC)

It is—I personally love that flag—but it's not used in the article and is only tangentially related to the TFA; it's certainly not readily identifiable as being associated with the subject. Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 19:19, 6 August 2013 (UTC)
Many Dutch things are beautiful; thanks. Drmies (talk) 17:07, 10 August 2013 (UTC)

Final round of the WikiCup

[edit]

Hi Ed, hope all's well. I'm just letting you know in advance that I'm moving house on the 28th, meaning I may be without Internet at the end of this round- even if I can find my way into a library, I'm unlikely to be about late in the evening, which is when the new round starts (for me). I should still be able to do most of what I normally do, but I may need to lean on you a little more than usual for the round transition (at the very least, for instance, I'll probably need you to do the at-midnight updating, if that's possible). Thanks! J Milburn (talk) 17:41, 14 August 2013 (UTC)

Hey J, that sounds entertaining. I just moved myself! If I'm not working, I'd be happy to do the at-midnight updating, but I should have three jobs by then, so there's a good possibility that I won't be. If that's the case, I'd be happy to do the updating just after or right before work. Does that work? Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 07:04, 15 August 2013 (UTC)
Yep, that should be fine. If I'm lucky with ISPs, I may be back online in time. If not- well, I'm sure it'll all work out! J Milburn (talk) 16:18, 15 August 2013 (UTC)
Feel free to post here or email with more details as the date approaches! Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 16:43, 15 August 2013 (UTC)

COI on Signpost

[edit]

Hi Ed. A while back I was suggesting a Q&A on the SignPost about PR participation on Wikipedia. I felt the prior Q&A series had a lot of "us versus them" type posts that presented extreme views on both sides, instead of offering a more sane perspective. And I wanted to give more of a behind-the-scenes business perspective that editors would only get from a "paid editor" willing to speak frankly, rather than lobby Wikipedians to support PR participation. And finally, the discussion has died down quite a bit, a little early I think, because the issues remain unresolved (then again, they will likely be permanently unresolved).

When I started working on the Q&A I somewhat felt like there was nothing new to say. The arguments and discussion on this run in circles endlessly. However, I've taken another stab at it at: User:CorporateM/signpost

I was wondering if you would take a look at it and provide some thoughts on if there is something worth doing. Also, what burning questions you think the volunteer community would like to hear about paid editing, from a paid editor. CorporateM (Talk) 00:31, 23 August 2013 (UTC)

Hi CM, sorry for the slowness. I think an opinion piece could do well, but you'll have to explain things a bit more -- eg what's the bright line? Under "Is there alignment?", what happens if a different company doesn't hold to the same standards? Etc. :-) Gotta run again, will check back tomorrow at some point. Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 05:27, 26 August 2013 (UTC)
I've been making more edits here and there. Not sure what the appropriate length is. CorporateM (Talk) 05:21, 27 August 2013 (UTC)
That looks good! I made a few changes; please tell me what you think. Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 05:21, 29 August 2013 (UTC)
Nice. After experiencing some off-wiki harassment, I've learned to take my being anonymous more seriously, so I haven't figured out how I want to handle that regarding the SignPost. I was thinking of using my real identity for the byline, without disclosing my username, though I wouldn't be able to participate in the comments that way.
I think what it still needs is a dose of humble. It makes it sound like I have all the answers, when I'm really just learning. It's not as if I never show clear signs of COI or always create the best articles in the world. CorporateM (Talk) 07:40, 29 August 2013 (UTC)
Ok, I think I am done with it, but I also asked a couple editors for their input. I would like to post it from my real-life identity, without any direct link to my username. But I was hoping to keep any personally identifiable information out of my contribution history, so if you could add the information before it goes live (outside my username sanbox). I can email you my personal information if you don't remember from last time. Cheers. CorporateM (Talk) 23:10, 29 August 2013 (UTC)

Cup cup cup

[edit]

I've talked to my ISP, and it looks like I won't have any Internet access my new house until about 6 September (I move on 28 August). I've made a start on the WikiCup newsletter here- obviously, you'll have to shift the final eight when the round actually ends. Anything you've got to add would be welcome. J Milburn (talk) 16:10, 25 August 2013 (UTC)

Sounds good. Just leave me a list of things to do and I'll block out time this week to do them. :-) Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 05:27, 26 August 2013 (UTC)
Other notes; probably not timed this as well as I could, but Pine talked to me about a WikiCup update in the Signpost, and I'm thinking that now wouldn't be a bad time to open up rules brainstorming and signups for next year. What do you think? J Milburn (talk) 11:14, 26 August 2013 (UTC)
I won't be able to do any sort of update for the SP, "News and notes" is going to be hard enough to keep up with. Opening up the rules discussions might be better done after this year's competition, but signups could certainly be opened. Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 13:38, 26 August 2013 (UTC)
Ok, I've opened the signups. The newsletter is here- you'll have to double check the ordering and check to make sure the eight I've listed are the ones who made it through (there are some more participant summaries in this revision). Obviously, feel free to make any changes that seem necessary. I typically send it at midnight, but it doesn't matter so much! I assume you know how to use EdwardsBot? Remember to end the newsletter with five tildes for the date- I forgot that once and a couple of people got pretty annoyed. You'll have to blank the submission pages of the eight who got through, and put them into one pool on the main WikiCup page. The round ends at midnight on Thursday, so you've got two days; as long as you can find an hour or so in those two days we should be fine! I think that's everything... J Milburn (talk) 22:40, 26 August 2013 (UTC)
All done! Hopefully it's right... I'll keep an eye on it. Best of luck with the move, J. Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 05:21, 29 August 2013 (UTC)

Interested in writing for "In The Media" section

[edit]

I noticed your call for contributors and would like to help with In The Media. I have access to many news databases and have extensive real world experience in issue tracking. I have edited Wikipedia since 2005. Andrew327 15:17, 26 August 2013 (UTC)

Hi! Thanks for the interest. "In the media" is typically written by some combination of User:Keilana, User:Jayen466, and User:Go Phigtins!. I've pinged them here so you can discuss how they can integrate you in the article writing, which takes place off-wiki in a Google Doc. :-) Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 05:21, 29 August 2013 (UTC)
Sounds good, I look forward to hearing from them. Andrew327 13:49, 29 August 2013 (UTC)
Hi Andrew, I'm glad to have another person on board. :) When would you like to start helping out? Keilana|Parlez ici 14:52, 29 August 2013 (UTC)
I can start today if you'd like. Andrew327 15:00, 29 August 2013 (UTC)
Andrew, most of the collaborating for ITM is done over email—we feel that the quality and newsworthiness of our content is higher when we collaborate off-wiki. Would you send me or Keilana (or both) an email through Special:Emailuser and we can get started? Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 18:59, 29 August 2013 (UTC)

Well Ed, you tried to ping me, it's Go Phightins! :-) I am really sorry I have not been around much lately - unforeseen real life hangups have really limited all of my time on Wikipedia. Go Phightins! 19:06, 29 August 2013 (UTC)

Keilana, Go Phightins! and Andrewman327 (welcome!), could I suggest we always use the same Google doc for drafting? Once the Signpost has been published, we can then scrub the document and re-title it (easily done in Google docs) to reflect the following week's date. This way, the URL always remains the same, and the document only needs to be shared once. Andreas JN466 08:04, 1 September 2013 (UTC)

@Jayen466: Sounds good. :) Let's keep the one we used this week because everyone has access, as far as I know. Keilana|Parlez ici 20:58, 1 September 2013 (UTC)
Cool, Keilana. I've cleared it, retitled it and added the first link. Andreas JN466 00:10, 2 September 2013 (UTC)

WikiCup 2013 August newsletter

[edit]

This year's final is upon us. Our final eight, in order of last round's score, are:

  1. Australia Hawkeye7 (submissions), a WikiCup newcomer who has contributed on topics of military history and physics, including a number of high-importance topics. Good articles have made up the bulk of his points, but he has also scored a great deal of bonus points. He has the second highest score overall so far, with more than 3000 points accumulated.
  2. New South Wales Casliber (submissions), another WikiCup veteran who reached the finals in 2012, 2011 and 2010. He writes on a variety of topics including botany, mycology and astronomy, and has claimed the highest or joint highest number of featured articles every round so far this year. He has the third highest score overall, with just under 3000 points accumulated.
  3. Wales Cwmhiraeth (submissions), 2012 WikiCup champion, who writes mostly on marine biology. She has also contributed to high-importance topics, seeing huge numbers of bonus points for high-importance featured and good articles. Previous rounds have seen her scoring the most bonus points, with scoring spread across did you knows, good articles and featured articles.
  4. Canada Sasata (submissions), a WikiCup veteran who finished in second place in 2012, and competed as early as 2009. He writes articles on biology, especially mycology, and has scored highly for a number of collaborations at featured article candidates.
  5. Colorado Sturmvogel_66 (submissions), the winner of the 2010 competition. His contributions mostly concern Naval history, and he has scored a very large number of points for good articles and good article reviews in every round. He is the highest scorer overall this year, with over 3500 points in total.
  6. Wyoming Ealdgyth (submissions), who is competing in the WikiCup for the second time, though this will be her first time in the final. A regular at FAC, she is mostly interested in British medieval history, and has scored very highly for some top-importance featured articles on the topic.
  7. London Miyagawa (submissions), a finalist in 2012 and 2011. He writes on a broad variety of topics, with many of this year's points coming from good articles about Star Trek. Good articles make up the bulk of his points, and he had the most good articles back in round 2; he was also the highest scorer for DYK in rounds 1 and 2.
  8. Scotland Adam Cuerden (submissions) has previously been involved with the WikiCup, but hasn't participated for a number of years. He scores mostly from restoration work leading to featured picture credits, but has also done some article writing and reviewing.

We say goodbye to eight great participants who did not qualify for the final: Poland Piotrus (submissions), Idaho Figureskatingfan (submissions), Ohio ThaddeusB (submissions), Michigan Dana boomer (submissions), Prince Edward Island Status (submissions), United States Ed! (submissions), Florida 12george1 (submissions), England Calvin999 (submissions). Having made it to this stage is still an excellent achievement, and you can leave with your heads held high. We hope to see you all again next year. Signups are now open for the 2014 WikiCup, which will begin on 1 January. All Wikipedians, whatever their interest or level of experience, are warmly invited to participate in next year's competition.

This last month has seen some incredible contributions; for instance, Cwmhiraeth's Starfish and Ealdgyth's Battle of Hastings—two highly important, highly viewed pages—made it to featured article status. It would be all too easy to focus solely on these stunning achievements at the expense of those participants working in lower-scoring areas, when in fact all WikiCup participants are doing excellent work. A mention of everything done is impossible, but here are a few: Last round saw the completion of several good topics (on the 1958, 1959 and 1962 Atlantic hurricane seasons) to which 12george1 had contributed. Calvin999 saw "S&M" (song), on which he has been working for several years, through to featured article status on its tenth try. Figureskatingfan continued towards her goal of a broad featured/good topic on Maya Angelou, with two featured and four good articles. ThaddeusB contributed significantly to over 20 articles which appeared on the main page's "in the news" section. Adam Cuerden continued to restore a large number of historical images, resulting in over a dozen FP credits this round alone. The WikiCup is not just about top-importance featured articles, and the work of all of these users is worthy of commendation.

Finally, the usual notices: If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. 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!

[edit]

Hey, Ed, you do realise the Wikicup has another day in this round, right? And that I wasn't eliminated? Adam Cuerden (talk) 05:24, 29 August 2013 (UTC)

No, this round ended on the 29th, see WP:CUP, but I agree that you weren't eliminated as you have a dozen or so points more than Piotrus.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 05:38, 29 August 2013 (UTC)
This is the 29th. In every other round, dates have been inclusive. Adam Cuerden (talk) 05:40, 29 August 2013 (UTC)

[edit]

Thanks for the mention in the newsletter for "S&M". It meant a lot to me when I saw it. It's nice to have received a bit of recognition of its promotion after having worked on it for long.  — ₳aron 08:20, 29 August 2013 (UTC)

Round 5 WikiCup

[edit]

Hi Ed, why have the scores been cleared when this round isn't over for another few hours? Sasata (talk) 20:37, 29 August 2013 (UTC)

That'd be because I miscalculated the date. See above and on WT:CUP. My apologies, Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 20:44, 29 August 2013 (UTC)
Could you please remove me from the final round and replace with Piotrus? It's not fair to him to be eliminated; I reviewed one of his GANs and was slower than I could have been, working on the assumption that the round was ending at midnight. Sasata (talk) 20:47, 29 August 2013 (UTC)
If his and/or Adam's scores change before midnight tonight, I'll be happy to go back and review the changes. Please feel free to revert my blanking and add the GAN, if needed. I'll be offline for at least five hours starting now, sorry. Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 20:52, 29 August 2013 (UTC)
I would suggest that both Adam and Piotrus be allowed to advance. Kudos to Sasata for his offer to let Piotrus advance in his place, but I think that he should advance as well.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 00:17, 30 August 2013 (UTC)

I made the same mistake that you did and thought the round ended on the 28th. So I responded to the last comments of my long-drawn out FAC on Tosa-class battleship and then pinged a delegate to get it promoted as well as the comments on my GAN for List of aircraft maintenance carriers of the Royal Navy when I could have easily waited an extra day to carry them into Round 6. So I'd like to count them for the last round if that's OK.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 14:49, 30 August 2013 (UTC)

My priorities at the moment are finishing the last of 59 work-hours this week, publishing the Signpost, and then the Cup, sorry. I'll get back to this tonight or at the least tomorrow. Sorry Sturm, etc Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 20:44, 30 August 2013 (UTC)
No rush.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 21:19, 30 August 2013 (UTC)
And, of course, I've been called into work on the day I have off. Anyway: @Sasata:, if you reviewed a GAN of Piotrus', let's talk and recalculate. @Sturmvogel 66:, I can't let you carry the points over for the GAN. However, Tosa was promoted today, so please feel free to add it to your round six total. Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 16:24, 31 August 2013 (UTC)
I passed a Piotrus GAN at 20:30 on August 29th, which adds 30 points to his total. I'd like to be in the final round, but I'd prefer it even more if Piotrus was in if there can only be 8. Would be happy with 9 in the final round, although I understand the others who didn't qualify might not feel the same way. Sasata (talk) 22:29, 31 August 2013 (UTC)
