I'm not sure why you changed the images sizes here at List of Confederate monuments and memorials. The article already doesn't have enough room for its images. Why make them bigger? Thanks. Magnolia677 (talk) 00:13, 2 August 2018 (UTC)
- @Magnolia677: I think the list looks much, much better now with consistent image sizing, but I don't own the page so edit away! :) ---Another Believer (Talk) 01:34, 2 August 2018 (UTC)
- I made the tall images upright to save space. The article is very image heavy, but the topic lends itself to this. I may resize some of the images. Cheers! Magnolia677 (talk) 13:13, 2 August 2018 (UTC)
- @Magnolia677: I think the list needs a lot of work overall. There are many, many unsourced entries, and I think some tables would be helpful for organizing content and housing images. I am letting other editors worry about how content is displayed. Thanks for the note! ---Another Believer (Talk) 15:08, 2 August 2018 (UTC)

Capitol rotunda
Good day. I've added the rotunda link to the statuary hall template, and wondering if you would like to change the links in the rotunda page about the statues to the works themselves and not the presidents they represent. The statues seem to be the subject of the section and not the namesakes. Randy Kryn (talk) 14:45, 14 August 2018 (UTC)

Invitation to participate in study
Hello,
I am E. Whittaker, I am working with Wikimedia’s Scoring Team to create a labeled dataset, and potentially a tool, to help editors deal with incivility when they encounter it on talk pages. A full write-up of the study can be found here: m:Research:Civil_Behavior_Interviews. We are currently recruiting editors to be interviewed about their experiences with incivility on talk pages. Would you be interested in being interviewed? I am contacting you because of your involvement in Wikipedia’s Women in Red project. The interviews should take ~1 hour, and will be conducted over BlueJeans (which does allow interviews to be recorded). If, so, please email me at ewhit@umich.edu in order to schedule an interview.

The fourth round of the 2018 WikiCup has now come to an end. The eight users who made it to the final round had to score a minimum of 422 points to qualify, with the top score in the round being 4869 points. The leaders in round 4 were:
During round four, 6 featured articles and 164 good articles were promoted by WikiCup contestants, 13 articles were included in good topics and 143 good article reviews were performed. There were also 10 "in the news" contributions on the main page and 53 "did you knows". Congratulations to all who participated! It was a generally high-scoring and productive round and I think we can expect a highly competitive finish to the competition. 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. 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 keep down 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 editor win!

Hello, Another Believer. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, 2020 Summer Olympics closing ceremony, for deletion because I don't think it meets our criteria for inclusion. If you don't want the article deleted:
Also, be sure to explain why you think the article should be kept in your edit summary or on the article's talk page. If you don't do so, it may be deleted later anyway. You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. signed, Rosguilltalk 23:42, 12 September 2018 (UTC)

DYK for I Am Part of the Resistance Inside the Trump Administration
On 20 September 2018, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article I Am Part of the Resistance Inside the Trump Administration, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that The New York Times published the anonymous essay "I Am Part of the Resistance Inside the Trump Administration" despite its history of publishing few such essays? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/I Am Part of the Resistance Inside the Trump Administration. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, I Am Part of the Resistance Inside the Trump Administration), 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.

Public art/FOP/copyright
I see you noticed Straight Shot. What's your take on copyright for this? I'm not sure whether a row of stones qualifies but maybe it does?? ☆ Bri (talk) 15:32, 20 September 2018 (UTC)
- @Bri: Honestly? I don't worry too much about copyright. If images at Wikimedia Commons are nominated for deletion, then I try to save the file then upload under fair use here at English Wikipedia. I've had images of contemporary artworks deleted, and I've also had them kept for lack of copyright evidence or because the artwork is not the primary focus of the image. In other words, there's gray area, so I just plug away and then see what happens. ---Another Believer (Talk) 15:35, 20 September 2018 (UTC)

Reverting Redirects of Family Guy episodes
Hello, I am curious what was the reasoning of you reverting Chris Has Got a Date, Date, Date, Date, Date and Inside Family Guy back to full articles from redirects. Both of them had gone through the AFD process, and in both cases, the clear consensus was for Redirects (as seen at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Chris Has Got a Date, Date, Date, Date, Date and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Inside Family Guy. Both articles, after the close of the AFD had a problem with IPs ignoring the result and repeatedly restoring the articles, despite the efforts of other editors to restore them to redirects. As neither article had any significant changes to them made, and I saw nothing in either of their talk pages discussing that they should be restored as full articles, I assumed I was following proper procedure by restoring the redirects that were decided on at the AFDs. Was I missing something in the process that should have prevented me from doing so?

Hi. I have reverted an edit of yours on this article, and would like to remind you about WP:BRD. When your Bold edit has been Reverted by another editor, the recommended next step, if you continue to think the edit is necessary, is to Discuss the dispute on the article talk page with other editors, but not to re-revert it, which is the first step to edit warring, a disruptive activity which is not allowed. Discussion on the talk page is the only way we have of reaching consensus, which is central to resolving editing disputes in an amicable and collegial manner, which is why communicating your concerns to your fellow editors is essential. While the discussion is going on, the article generally should remain in the status quo ante until the consensus as to what to do is reached. Your restoration of your edits without discussion has been reverted. I am awaiting your explanation for the changes you wish to make on the talk page, and will respond to you there.

Stanford art
I note you seem to be adding a lot of stubs for public art at Stanford University. Given there are dozens of pieces and you don't have pictures for most, I suggest a list type article (e.g., Public art at Stanford University). Leaving individual articles only for the most important. --Erp (talk) 06:34, 4 October 2018 (UTC)
- @Erp: I'm not opposed to a list, but I visited the campus recently and have photographs to upload for many of the stubs I've created. I hope to flesh some of the stubs out more, but first I'm just trying to get the ball rolling. ---Another Believer (Talk) 14:08, 4 October 2018 (UTC)
I don't understand this article. Title and content are out of sync, and we don't usually have articles on individual artworks. They might be slightly notable as a pair as the source discusses; but a better title would be needed, and probably more sources. Dicklyon (talk) 03:42, 8 October 2018 (UTC)
- I corrected the name of the subject in the lead (forgot to update during my copy and paste). There are numerous Wikipedia articles about individual artworks -- I've created hundreds myself. ---Another Believer (Talk) 03:59, 8 October 2018 (UTC)
- OK, possibly sculptures such as these are notable. But the refs you put in support of the lead do not refer to the sculptures as being named that way; they say "sculptures of Louis Agassiz and ..." and such. Are there sources that treat the sculpture as being itself named "Louis Agassiz"? If not, why not title the article "Louis Agassiz sculpture" or something like that? Dicklyon (talk) 01:46, 9 October 2018 (UTC)
- @Dicklyon: I'm not opposed to other titles. In terms of consistency, I've noticed many US sculpture articles are called "subject (sculpture)" or "subject (artist's last name)", while UK sculpture articles are more along the lines of "Statue of subject". Often there are inscriptions on the sculpture (or base or plaque) of the subject's name, so these are accepted as artwork names. ---Another Believer (Talk) 01:59, 9 October 2018 (UTC)

March for our Lives—Town Hall for Lives
I was reading the March for Our Lives article this morning and wondered who wrote it. Great article! The student organizers led the "Town Hall for our Lives" summer tour and are continuing to tour this fall. I know one of the co-founders of the Town Hall Project, so I wouldn't be able to contribute to a new article or expand March for our Lives. I hope someone continues to write about these courageous young activists.
- @MauraWen: Thanks! I worked on March for Our Lives Portland the most (which I also attended). I'm curious to see how this movement evolves. Also, I wouldn't let your COI prevent you from making constructive contributions to Wikipedia. Just disclose your connection and edit as neutrally as possible, seeking feedback from other editors where appropriate. ---Another Believer (Talk) 14:06, 12 October 2018 (UTC)

Location map for Lewis & Clark College
Doubtless this is on your watchlist, but I've added a location map for Lewis & Clark College - https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia%3AWikiProject_Oregon%2FGraphics&type=revision&diff=863780128&oldid=830299971 - which I hope works (bit rusty on the whole process). If you're still interested in these things, let me know if there are other areas for which maps would be handy.
Meanwhile this - https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Lewis_%26_Clark_College,_2017_-_47.jpg - is one of yours ... might you fancy using Acme Mapper to identify the coords - crosshair over the location, coords reported in the bottom right box - https://mapper.acme.com/?ll=45.45091,-122.66960&z=19 --Tagishsimon (talk) 00:18, 13 October 2018 (UTC)
- @Tagishsimon: Wonderful!, thank you for the L&C map. Since you asked, and if you're willing, I'd love maps for the downtown cores of Eugene and Salem. The exiting maps of Eugene and Salem are super helpful, but some infoboxes could benefit from more specific maps of small areas. I will try to remember where I photographed the aforementioned statue. ---Another Believer (Talk) 01:00, 13 October 2018 (UTC)
- I'm sorry to say, I'm struggling to identify an exact location looking at maps. I will ping if I find the spot. In the meantime, thanks for adding coordinates to other Oregon articles recently. ---Another Believer (Talk) 01:03, 13 October 2018 (UTC)
- Not a problem. I'll see if I can find York: Terra Incognita. Happy to do Eugene & Salem downtowns, but give me some pointers, e.g. by way of road names, for the top & bottom, and the east & west of the desired boxes. No rush. thx --Tagishsimon (talk) 01:08, 13 October 2018 (UTC)

Let me know if there are any issues with these. fwiw, I used Template:Geogroup on the Eugene and Salem categories, to visualise the coords of articles in the categories, in order to work out the bounds of their downtowns. And, as normal, let me know if you'd like any additions or amendments to maps. --Tagishsimon (talk) 01:36, 23 October 2018 (UTC)

Heaven South
I added content to Heaven South. Generally, the writer and producer don't need sources of their own, since that content is already verified on the album article (except in cases where there is conflicting information, and something authoritative like the ASCAP or BMI database is needed). One of the sources I added does corroborate the song's writers, but a citation on the producer is not necessary since the album article already verifies that information.

Uploading Images from One IP Address

A colleague and I are going to have a Wikimedia Commons upload-a-thon as part of a presentation we are giving about Wikimedia Commons and how we use it. Do you know of any issues with folx uploading lots of photos at one time from one IP address? Let me know--thanks!

Why I alphabetized Template:Washington Park, Portland, Oregon the way I did
I figured that we should probably drop any initial "Washington Park"s and alphabetize by the first word that isn't Washington Park. Hence, I alphabetized the Washington Park MAX station as "MAX station". pbp 20:34, 4 November 2018 (UTC)
- @Purplebackpack89: I understand, and I'd be more open to this form of sorting if the Wikipedia article were called "Washington Park MAX station", but I don't think sorting "Washington Park station" as "MAX station" is particularly helpful. ---Another Believer (Talk) 20:36, 4 November 2018 (UTC)

DYK for Statue of Liberty (Seattle)
On 8 November 2018, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Statue of Liberty (Seattle), which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Seattle's replica of the Statue of Liberty stands at around five percent of the original's height? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Statue of Liberty (Seattle). You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Statue of Liberty (Seattle)), 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.

Ten Commandments Monument (Austin, Texas)

I really don't see what's wrong with including the fact that it's behind the Capitol building. The Confederate soldiers monument is in front of the building close to the entrance of the carriage drive, and so very prominently visible -- whereas the Ten Commandments monument, which the legislature didn't request or commission, but which was donated unsolicited by a private group (probably partly as kind of a disguised Cecil B. DeMille movie promotion) was tucked away behind the building... AnonMoos (talk) 08:51, 9 November 2018 (UTC)

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. See User:RonBot for info on how to not get these messages.

While editing Stanich randomly as I was reading the Dictionary of American Family Names, I found a Washington Post article about Stanich's, a burger parlor in Portland. Founded in 1949 and now closed down if Google is to be believed. Did it close down because it became too popular once it was honored with the "best burger in America" award from Thrillist? There are many more RS and I thought you might want to create it. Please ping me if you do. Thank you.Zigzig20s (talk) 04:10, 13 November 2018 (UTC)
