Regarding We the People March
Extended content

Hi--I nominated a page I created for deletion because the organizer, who is my abusive ex-partner, had me create it. It contains misleading information, some of which has already been corrected by other users, but people who were co-organizers of the We The People march, whom she did not want to credit on the page, have complained to me personally in recent weeks about not being given credit. They are not credited in any of the media surrounding the event because they got involved last minute and also because she wouldn't let anyone else speak to the media. I don't want to be bothered by people who are upset that she's taken credit for the entire event. This is partly an issue about my own safety and privacy. I want the page I created deleted. If you or someone else wants to create an entirely new one, you're all free to do so. Tling2 (talk) 22:40, 6 June 2021 (UTC)Tling2

Read this in another language • Subscription list for this newsletter  Earlier this year, the Editing team ran a large study of the Reply Tool. The main goal was to find out whether the Reply Tool helped newer editors communicate on wiki. The second goal was to see whether the comments that newer editors made using the tool needed to be reverted more frequently than comments newer editors made with the existing wikitext page editor. The key results were:
These results give the Editing team confidence that the tool is helpful. Looking ahead The team is planning to make the Reply tool available to everyone as an opt-out preference in the coming months. This has already happened at the Arabic, Czech, and Hungarian Wikipedias. The next step is to resolve a technical challenge. Then, they will deploy the Reply tool first to the Wikipedias that participated in the study. After that, they will deploy it, in stages, to the other Wikipedias and all WMF-hosted wikis. You can turn on "Discussion Tools" in Beta Features now. After you get the Reply tool, you can change your preferences at any time in Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing-discussion. 00:27, 16 June 2021 (UTC) |

Are File:Tokyo 2019 39.jpg and File:Tokyo 2019 41.jpg valid for use on Commons? I'll defer to your judgement since you're significantly more active on Commons than I am, but my understanding of NFCC is that because the artwork in each image (by Gengoroh Tagame and Jiraiya, respectively) is presumably copyrighted, and because it's the main subject of the photograph, that makes the photo a derivative work. So even if you as the photographer disclaim all of your own rights over the photo, it's still protected by Tagame's and Jiraiya's copyrights. I was thrilled to finally have a lead image for Bara (genre), but I'm not certain its use is valid. Morgan695 (talk) 18:47, 16 June 2021 (UTC)

Statue of Bee Gees moved to draftspace
ResolvedAn article you recently created, Statue of Bee Gees, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

COVID-19 pandemic data
Hi. Will it still be possible to use Wikidata for several pages related to COVID-19, such as this template? Some editors used to suggest the idea of using Wikidata so that there will be less need to do updates manually. Fewer editors are still continuing to do so and doing updates have now become more challenging. LSGH (talk) (contributions) 18:09, 19 July 2021 (UTC)

Use of autopatrolled perm
Hi Another Believer—I recently came across your autopatrolled article Statue of Edgar Martínez. In its present state, with only a single reference and no applicable SNG, the article does not meet notability standards, something I assume you know given your level of experience. The autopatrolled right is intended for editors who consistently create "clean" articles that do not require review by others. Please do not use it to create articles that do not demonstrate their notability, as that is an abuse of the permission. {{u|Sdkb}} talk 03:20, 6 September 2021 (UTC)

Query
Hello, Another Believer,
I stumbled upon List of Wikipedia people and reviewing the people listed, I could see a connection between each individual to the English Wikipedia or the WMF except in the case of Andrea James. Since people aren't included on this list just for writing about or critiquing Wikipedia, the only reason I could guess that she was included was that she was an active contributor here. There are plenty of people who write about Wikipedia but they are not included on this list. Her own article doesn't talk about her participation on Wikipedia, just saying she wrote about the project. I noticed you had edited both articles so, without giving any personal identification, could you confirm she is notable in regards to working for or at Wikipedia/WMF? That seems to be the standard for inclusion on this list. Thanks for any help you can offer. Liz Read! Talk! 00:37, 26 September 2021 (UTC)
Based on the current article's prose, I would say she should not be included in the list; additionally, List of Wikipedia people should be removed from the See also section and Category:Wikipedia people should not be applied. Would you like to make these changes, or shall I? Thanks! ---Another Believer (Talk) 01:11, 26 September 2021 (UTC)@Liz: Sorry!, I spoke too soon and I've changed my mind entirely. I read the prose too quickly and thought she wrote about Wikipedia. However, I now see she has contributed to Wikipedia. To me, this qualifies her for list inclusion (and the see also link and category apply). Sorry for the confusion! ---Another Believer (Talk) 01:20, 26 September 2021 (UTC)- Well, the only reference I could find was in one interview from years ago, she stated that she was in the Top 40 editors for creating articles but she added that she didn't edit any more. This really isn't confirmation to me, it's just a claim. And this list states it is "Wikipedia people" so, to me, that implies some formal relationship with the organization, it's not just editors who have an article written about them. But if you know her username and believe her to once have been a very active editor, then I trust your judgment about this. Liz Read! Talk! 02:05, 26 September 2021 (UTC)
- @Liz: @If you think the article should be updated to remove the claim because of insufficient sourcing, I don't have a problem. Anyone can say they've edited Wikipedia in an interview. In my opinion, if the article's prose says someone contributes to Wikipedia, then list inclusion is appropriate, but if the claim is not appropriate for Wikipedia, then her article should be updated and her name should be removed from the list. I do not know her username, nor am I particularly interested in digging for more info. I am not opposed to putting the onus on editors to more clearly indicate her connection to Wikipedia using secondary coverage (not an interview). ---Another Believer (Talk) 02:11, 26 September 2021 (UTC)
- See User:Jokestress. This did not take any digging or outing. It was the first hit when I searched for "Andrea James" in User space. – Jonesey95 (talk) 14:51, 26 September 2021 (UTC)
- @Jonesey95 Thanks! @Liz: FYI! ---Another Believer (Talk) 14:54, 26 September 2021 (UTC)
- Here's a link confirming top 40 in mainspace pages created (about 90% redirects), as of 2016. The count was about the same in 2013, when the editor stopped editing frequently, at which point they were at 150 in actual articles created. FWIW. – Jonesey95 (talk) 14:59, 26 September 2021 (UTC)

- Hey, I don't follow: you mean there's a rule, only one picture for a work of art? Interesting. BTW you know there's a statue of Sims on the front lawn of the state capitol, right? It's been a bone of contention for a few years now. Drmies (talk) 02:42, 30 September 2021 (UTC)
- @Drmies Yes, since contemporary artworks are most often copyrighted, usually only one image can be uploaded for the entry's infobox. After you click on "upload file", click on "This is a copyrighted, non-free work, but I believe it is Fair Use.", then " This is a depiction of a copyrighted three-dimensional work or building", then select "Other 3-dimensional creative work (sculpture etc)". Then, you can add other details such as artist and date, name of photographer and date, etc. I hope this helps! ---Another Believer (Talk) 02:46, 30 September 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks--I'll keep that in mind. I might could take one of Sims too, though I've tried that before--the problem is his statue is partly in the shade, on an awkwardly hilly part, and obscured from various angles. Meh, I'm not sure he deserves another picture anyway. Drmies (talk) 02:48, 30 September 2021 (UTC)

After you click on "upload file", click on "This is a copyrighted, non-free work, but I believe it is Fair Use.", then " This is a depiction of a copyrighted three-dimensional work or building", then select "Other 3-dimensional creative work (sculpture etc)". Then, you can add other details such as artist and date, name of photographer and date, etc. I hope this helps! ---Another Believer (Talk) 02:46, 30 September 2021 (UTC)
- Hey, I don't follow: you mean there's a rule, only one picture for a work of art? Interesting. BTW you know there's a statue of Sims on the front lawn of the state capitol, right? It's been a bone of contention for a few years now. Drmies (talk) 02:42, 30 September 2021 (UTC)
