WikiCup 2020 May newsletter
Extended content
|
|---|
|
The second round of the 2020 WikiCup has now finished. It was a high-scoring round and contestants needed 75 points to advance to round 3. There were some very impressive efforts in round 2, with the top ten contestants all scoring more than 500 points. A large number of the points came from the 12 featured articles and the 186 good articles achieved in total by contestants, and the 355 good article reviews they performed; the GAN backlog drive and the stay-at-home imperative during the COVID-19 pandemic may have been partially responsible for these impressive figures. Our top scorers in round 2 were:
The rules for featured article reviews have been adjusted; reviews may cover three aspects of the article, content, images and sources, and contestants may receive points for each of these three types of review. Please also remember the requirement to mention the WikiCup when undertaking an FAR for which you intend to claim points. Remember also that DYKs cannot be claimed until they have appeared on the main page. As we enter the third round, any content promoted after the end of round 2 but before the start of round 3 can be claimed now, and anything you forgot to claim in round 2 cannot! Remember too, that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them. When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anything else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove your name from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

Time for hemp in Oregon?
Since Hemp in Oregon is a redirect, maybe it's a high priority topic for the project we recently completed. Next year maybe? Or start sooner? You probably are more clued into the Oregon scene than I am, but I noticed in at least one county in 2019, it was the most-planted crop by acreage; according to report, it went up over 400% between 2018 and 2019 statewide [1]. For comparison it's about 50% more acres than hops in Washington (Yakima Valley does the majority of U.S. production). ☆ Bri (talk) 22:29, 2 May 2020 (UTC)
- Bri, I think this redirect link should be added to the page of 420 links for future expansion. I'd be interested in tackling this at some point. ---Another Believer (Talk) 23:01, 2 May 2020 (UTC)

Editor of the Week : nominations needed!The Editor of the Week initiative has been recognizing editors since 2013 for their hard work and dedication. Editing Wikipedia can be disheartening and tedious at times; the weekly Editor of the Week award lets its recipients know that their positive behaviour and collaborative spirit is appreciated. The response from the honorees has been enthusiastic and thankful. The list of nominees is running short, and so new nominations are needed for consideration. Have you come across someone in your editing circle who deserves a pat on the back for improving article prose regularly, making it easier to understand? Or perhaps someone has stepped in to mediate a contentious dispute, and did an excellent job. Do you know someone who hasn't received many accolades and is deserving of greater renown? Is there an editor who does lots of little tasks well, such as cleaning up citations? Please help us thank editors who display sustained patterns of excellence, working tirelessly in the background out of the spotlight, by submitting your nomination for Editor of the Week today!

 I appreciate your work on getting the article in better shape. There's still more historical background I haven't found yet but I decided it might be ready to go. I wasn't sure how to divide it into sections but I did some work on separating it into paragraphs, anyway. What I don't know how to do is find the source of the text "the bronze statue features an allegorical angel with outstretched wings dressed in robes with a laurel wreath on her head. In one hand she supports a dying soldier holding a battered rifle, while in her other hand—held high—she holds a second laurel wreath to place on the soldier when he expires". Somewhere in the history of List of Confederate monuments and memorials (from which List of Confederate monuments and memorials in North Carolina was split) those words were added. Three sources are given for the section and one I can't find, but it looks like it might be a source for something else. There's no way the exact words used by whoever added them are based on the two sources I did find. I'm wondering what to do at this point. The description seems important enough to keep but I don't know where it came from.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 20:25, 8 June 2020 (UTC)

A very minor point
Thanks for editing Niagara Square police violence incident. I noticed that you changed the "notes" section to "references". Normally, both are acceptable (see WP:REFLIST), and editors are not supposed to change one acceptable form to another (goes for this, but also e.g. for the type of references and so on). Like I said, this is very minor, and no need to change it back, but just something to keep in mind if you ever encounter another "notes" title for the footnotes / references section. Feel free to point out any similar minor rule I forgot about and should adhere to, there are probably enough examples of things I do while editing which are not what we are supposed to do either :-) Fram (talk) 14:21, 9 June 2020 (UTC)
- Fram, Ok, thanks, good to know. I prefer References for a list of sources and add Notes sections when there are notes to display other than the list of sources. Happy editing! ---Another Believer (Talk) 14:28, 9 June 2020 (UTC)

Vance Monument

 I'll let you take over. It bothered me seeing the article just sitting there but I figured I gave you plenty of chances to expand it. I just needed to wait a little longer. What do you think of this picture? People think the old BB&T building is ugly, though I admit yours is a better photo of the monument itself. I put your photo in the article about the building because the one that was there just wasn't very good.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 17:58, 12 June 2020 (UTC)

- An IP added some good information to the Vance Monument article but didn't give a source. I went ahead and reverted because it looked weird to say the same thing twice. The person did point out in an edit summary that the city council didn't actually vote to remove the monument, so that's good. I made sure what was left reflected what sources actually said and let the IP know to add a source with the other information added. My first though was that since it was good information, you added it, but as I looked closely, it was kind of a mess. I could tell the sources already there didn't say what was said.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 16:37, 9 July 2020 (UTC)

There were additional articles today, one on previous actions and another on the removal of other monuments, which I thought was relevant since those actions were part of the same joint resolution that is leading to action on the Vance Monument.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 17:06, 14 July 2020 (UTC)
- An IP added some good information to the Vance Monument article but didn't give a source. I went ahead and reverted because it looked weird to say the same thing twice. The person did point out in an edit summary that the city council didn't actually vote to remove the monument, so that's good. I made sure what was left reflected what sources actually said and let the IP know to add a source with the other information added. My first though was that since it was good information, you added it, but as I looked closely, it was kind of a mess. I could tell the sources already there didn't say what was said.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 16:37, 9 July 2020 (UTC)

Monument stuff
Hey Another Believer,
The CHAZ article seems to be stabilizing, so I'm moving my efforts over to monuments. I've started a navbox at Template:Monuments and memorials removed during the George Floyd protests. I left a comment at the Confederate Memorial (Jacksonville, Florida)/Hemming Park merge proposal, but wanted to also let you know that much of the memorial content from that article appears to have been plagiarized from this site. I also have a proposal for refactoring the table on the list article and would appreciate your perspective. I'm probably going to tackle geocoordinates for all of these next. Let me know if you need anything. gobonobo + c 12:37, 14 June 2020 (UTC)
- Related, in Oregon. – Jonesey95 (talk) 13:34, 14 June 2020 (UTC)
- @Gobonobo: Wonderful, I/we can always use more help with public art coverage! I'm constantly having to defend keeping standalone articles about notable monuments and works of art. I guess that's what I get for creating stubs, but I don't have the capacity to flesh out page after page after page as much as I'd like right from the start. But that's ok, Wikipedia's a work in progress and we'll have entries for them all eventually. I've watchlisted the monument template and will review your recent changes across pages soon. @Jonesey95: Oh, wow! This was not on my radar so thanks for the heads up. ---Another Believer (Talk) 14:34, 14 June 2020 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Statue of Sam Davis
ResolvedExtended content
|
|---|
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on Statue of Sam Davis requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content. If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Heya AB :-) I got 75 more of these. You think the FAQ should go under the talk header for all of them? I was thinking the FAQ is more important than what's in the talk header, and putting it at the top of the page would increase the chances it'd be seen by editors and not just glossed over or scrolled past. I don't really have a strong opinion, I just don't want to do 75 of these and have you move it 75 times; I'm happy to rearrange the order before I continue if you think that's best.

For your stub making project... this good docs has all the coords. Check out the second worksheet ("Whose Heritage Master"). You can sort by column F (State) if that helps. Coords are in column H.

Copying within Wikipedia
Thanks for identifying the source of the material in your edit.

Monument Stubs
I noticed you created several new stubs on monuments that were recently removed during recent events, none of which have actual information about the monuments. Is their a plan to go back and expand on them or is it just same issue as Sam Davis? --WashuOtaku (talk) 15:23, 26 June 2020 (UTC)
- Washuotaku, I do hope to revisit, and I've seen several of the recent stubs I've created for notable monuments expanded by others. I write about public art and sculpture often, and I'm confident these subjects are independently notable. There's nothing wrong with stubs, they just need expanding! ---Another Believer (Talk) 17:02, 26 June 2020 (UTC)

Statues
Hello! I just did ReFill on the New Haven statue, and it might have messed up some of your edits. Please do check. I'm goign to stop working on these for the moment. I don't think that this AfD will gain any traction. If I can find 8 sources in Google, there are twenty at the library. ThatMontrealIP (talk) 01:38, 29 June 2020 (UTC)

- PS: I did not know until now that you were "notorious". That's a compliment in my books.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 02:20, 29 June 2020 (UTC)
- I'd like to apologize again for that - it was definitely out of line. Both of you are skilled editors who put a lot of work in on the statue articles; after further reflection, I have withdrawn the AfD. Hopefully our future interactions will be more positive so that you can consider me a useful collaborator and not just a deletionist jerk.

@Pi.1415926535: Also, I saw your request to add coordinates to the Boston stubs. I'm not really good at adding coordinates to articles, if I'm being honest, which is why I add the tags hoping someone else will add them for me. I've tried to learn how to add them more than once, but I just don't enjoy the process. If you or another editor are good at adding coordinates, I'd actually ask for assistance. I watchlist most of the Boston stubs needing coords, and I'd happily follow to update infoboxes, add maps, etc. Not a hard ask, if you're not interested, just wanted to explain why I don't tackle the coordinates myself. ---Another Believer (Talk) 03:26, 2 July 2020 (UTC)
- Sure, and feel free to ask me (pinging me in an edit summary is fine) if you have other coord requests! I generally empty out the CT category every few weeks, and I'm slowly working through the Boston/MA categories as well, so I'll get to them. If there are instances where you don't mind adding coords yourself, I highly recommend this site created by an editor. For my uploads, I find it only adds a few seconds per photo to move the marker and copy-paste the coords. Cheers, Pi.1415926535 (talk) 04:06, 2 July 2020 (UTC)
- @Pi.1415926535: I don't think I'd have any requests outside Category:Boston articles missing geocoordinate data. I've already followed your recent edits by adding maps to infoboxes, so thanks for your help on those! ---Another Believer (Talk) 04:09, 2 July 2020 (UTC)

WMF Code of Conduct
Hello Jason; my name is Mervat and I am contacting you seeking help to reach out to the members of the Cascadia Wikimedians User Group, I chose to write to you as you are the secretary of the group. The idea is that we are trying to reach out to the members of different affiliates to discuss the objectives and people's expectations and concerns about the universal code of conduct that the Wikimedia Foundation Board voted recently for creating it for all Wikimedia projects. I want to invite your community to be part of the consultation process. I will send a survey in which members can express their thoughts and concerns, and I am willing to conduct meetings if anyone would like to discuss verbally. So for now, I am seeking your advice on what's the best way to contact members? shall I deliver a message in the group's page in meta? can we use a mailing list (I prefer that because almost everyone will receive the message), or shall I contact the user names listed in the group's page individually? I appreciate your kind help. --Mervat (WMF) (talk) 11:50, 2 July 2020 (UTC)
- Mervat (WMF), Hi Mervat, I'm not actually the current secretary, but no worries!

Too many non-notable statues
You've made a lot of articles about statues that mostly people didn't care about except to tear them down— at least, that's what the article say. To me that suggests they belong merged back to the people the memorialize, because that's what it's really all about. From what I can see most of these articles simply are padded versions of the material in the main article anyway. Mangoe (talk) 01:59, 3 July 2020 (UTC)
- Mangoe, Thanks for leaving a note here. I've discussed this recently (see example). Editors (myself included) are creating many new articles about monuments and memorials in the news lately. We know they are stubs but we're struggling just to keep up with all the incoming information. In all honestly, most of these monuments should be independently notable. For most you can find information about funding, design, dedication, history over time, removal, reception, etc., this is is sufficient for a Wikipedia article. I've written at least a couple dozen Good articles about public artworks. I wouldn't be creating these stubs if I felt there wasn't good reason. I ask you to please refrain from redirecting/merging and give editors time to expand these properly, which often requires digging into local newspaper archives, books, etc. Thank you. ---Another Believer (Talk) 02:07, 3 July 2020 (UTC)
- (sigh) @ThatMontrealIP: You might want to take a look at Statue of Williams Carter Wickham as well. Thanks, ---Another Believer (Talk) 02:12, 3 July 2020 (UTC)
- Some of them perhaps are, and when they are shown to be (because they are expanded with sourcing that shows people in general cared about them besides just getting rid of them) I do not object to having them as separate articles. I don't doubt that information can be found about a lot of them, but the mere existence of information doesn't make a thing notable; it's a very safe bet that few of these have note as artworks or even as tourist attractions. Right now, the state of the articles I merged says that they are not independently notable, and it seems to me they should be left merged for now.

Grammy question
Hi Another Believer! I saw you were listed on the Wikipedia:WikiProject_Awards/Grammy_Awards_task_force page. I wasn't sure if the talk page of the project was very active, so I was wondering if you could answer a question I had. I know that Song of the Year technically is awarded to the songwriters so it would make sense for those awards to appear on the songwriters page as well as the original artist. Do you think it's appropriate to also list other awards on the songwriters page? For example, let's say I help write a song on an album. The album gets nominated for Album of the Year. Should I also have Album of the Year on my own page even though I only helped write one song on the album? This would also go for music producers. I am just wondering what your thoughts are, because I can't find a definitive rule on any of the pages. Thank you! --Divine618 (talk) 16:18, 3 July 2020 (UTC)
- Divine618, I think awards should only be mentioned if the individual is specifically credited, not because they are affiliated with a project that won an award. I hope I'm understanding your questions correctly and my response is helpful. ---Another Believer (Talk) 16:36, 3 July 2020 (UTC)

Do you think Honey Davenport has a shot at becoming a featured article?

- Alan Islas, I was hoping someone would share some Chinese-language sourcing specific to the monument. Worth asking at WikiProject China? ---Another Believer (Talk) 20:31, 23 July 2020 (UTC)
- Another Believer, good point, there should be some more sources in Chinese. I participate with that project, but I will ask for the help of somebody who can actually read the language!
- A few years ago I visited Fan Zhongyan's tomb site in Yichuan province Henan. It looked like a notable historical and touristic site on its own, worthy of an article, but I can't find anything in English, so I just put the photo I took in the main article. I'll mention both places in the project's talk page. No rush to merge, we can see if there is a response, even if it takes a while. Regards, --Alan Islas (talk) 13:49, 25 July 2020 (UTC)

Draft:This Is What I Live For
I moved your draft into mainspace. You're a pagemover, is there a reason you didn't move it yourself? --Ahecht (TALK

- Ahecht, I can't recall the exact message I see when trying to move drafts into the main space over existing redirects, but I'm often unable to do so. ---Another Believer (Talk) 22:20, 30 July 2020 (UTC)
- If you install pageswap.js it will add a link to that error message to swap the draft and the redirect page. You can also do what I did in this case and move the redirect to a new location, making sure to uncheck the box that says "Leave a redirect behind", and then moving the draft to where the redirect used to be. --Ahecht (TALK
