Thanks for uploading File:Correlation, Two White Line Diagonals and Two Arcs with a Sixteen-Foot Radius, 2018.jpeg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 03:28, 4 February 2022 (UTC) |

Nice work on the new Tom's Restaurant and Bar article. Hey, they have an off-track horse and greyhound gambling room there between the restaurant and bar, or at least used to. Maybe this should be included in the article? North America1000 21:42, 15 February 2022 (UTC)
Portland Fish Market is another decent one. Thanks for creating it! The lead could use expansion, but hey, these things take time. Portland 2.0 is well underway now, and the rent and leasing prices continue to rise... erm. North America1000 23:10, 15 February 2022 (UTC)
The very best Reuben in town can be had at Edelweiss Sausage Co & Delicatessen in SE, Brooklyn neighborhood. It may not qualify for an article, but it's the best in PDX! A close runner up would be Goose Hollow Inn's Reuben. North America1000 23:17, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

IABot
Hi! Would you please show me how to IABot? I don't get it :D --truflip99 (talk) 22:38, 23 February 2022 (UTC)
- @Truflip99: Yes! Fair warning: you'll become addicted. :) Click on the View history tab of any article. Then click on the "Fix dead links" link. You'll come to a page which says, "Analyze a page". You should see the article title in the field, so go ahead and check the box for "Add archives to all non-dead references (Optional)". Let me know if you have any problems! ---Another Believer (Talk) 22:41, 23 February 2022 (UTC)

I just reverted two edits but I'll refrain for now from reverting any more. Otherwise, it'll just waste a lot of both of our time if we can't agree on something first, and reach a conclusion. Certain postal abbreviations are listed under Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Abbreviations#Abbreviations_widely_used_in_Wikipedia. These abbreviations are used by the US Postal Service. These abbreviations are used on street signs. They are used on Google maps, and in many of the sources we cite. I agree that they should not be used in the main text, but I would argue that they are appropriate to the infoboxes, given that they are used by the sources, and commonly used in Portland and also the rest of the United States when referring to street names. Confusing ones like Ste are to be avoided, but ones like Ave, St, S, N, E, W, SE, SW, NE, and NW should be kept. Talib1101 (talk) 05:55, 3 March 2022 (UTC) P.S. Mama Đút and Le Pigeon are the articles I reverted before I realized that reverting at least a half dozen edits without explanation is a bad idea. Talib1101 (talk) 05:57, 3 March 2022 (UTC) P.P.S. Commander's Palace is an example of an article that uses "Ave" apparently unchallenged. Think it's more readable to most readers. Talib1101 (talk) 05:59, 3 March 2022 (UTC) P.P.P.S. I'll admit the style you use is more common but I still don't like it. Why is it apparently preferred? Talib1101 (talk) 06:02, 3 March 2022 (UTC)
P.P.P.P.S. I rolled back my undos. Talib1101 (talk) 06:04, 3 March 2022 (UTC) P.P.P.P.P.S. I think we "should follow the most common rendering found in reliable sources for that particular locale" (MOS:POSTABBR). Talib1101 (talk) 06:08, 3 March 2022 (UTC) |

And so ends the first round of the WikiCup. Last year anyone who scored more than zero points moved on to Round 2, but this was not the case this year, and a score of 13 or more was required to proceed. The top scorers in Round 1 were:
These contestants, like all the others who qualified for Round 2, now have to start scoring points again from scratch. Between them, contestants completed reviews of a large number of good articles as the contest ran concurrently with a GAN backlog drive. Well done all! To qualify for Round 3, contestants will need to finish Round 2 among the top thirty-two participants. Remember that any content promoted after the end of Round 1 but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Anything that should have been claimed for in Round 1 is no longer eligible for points. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. 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 Needed. 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 yourself from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

Portland Art+Feminism Edit-a-thon: March 12, 2022
You are invited! An Art+Feminism Wikipedia edit-a-thon will be held in Portland, Oregon, on March 12, 2022. Learn more here!
Wikipedia is one of the most-visited sites on the internet—and it’s created by people who volunteer their time to write and edit pages. Learn how to edit Wikipedia and be a part of shaping our understanding of our world. In this workshop, volunteer Wikipedia editors will be on hand to train participants on how to get started editing pages and offer ideas for which pages you can pitch in to help improve. Show up at any point during the four hours to get started!
Also: Free burritos!! We will be providing vegan, vegetarian, and meat burritos from food cart Loncheria Las Mayos. Alder Commons has a large, fenced playground. Children are welcome! Some computers will be available to borrow, but if you have a laptop, please bring it to use. We will also be leading an online training for new editors at 11am-12pm PST. Please feel free to join that training if you are not able to show up IRL.
This event is part of the international month of events organized by Art+Feminism, which is building a community of activists committed to closing information gaps related to gender, feminism, and the arts, beginning with Wikipedia. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 14:36, 8 March 2022 (UTC)

@MGK king: I'm not opposed to you folding claims into existing text appropriately, but your preferred text does not need to be the opening line of the section and citations should be formatted correctly. ---Another Believer (Talk) 14:29, 9 March 2022 (UTC)
Since you asked, this edit shows me using a tool to archive properly formatted citations and has nothing to do with formatting citations on behalf of another editor. ---Another Believer (Talk) 14:34, 9 March 2022 (UTC) |

Zebulon Baird Vance Monument
Extended content

There was an update today and I discovered the article is way longer than it was only a few months ago. I'm concerned there is too much detail, particularly about Gov. Vance, but I don't know how much to remove. We know he had slaves and considered African Americans inferior. How much detail is really needed? On the other hand, there was a lot about the building of the monument that is actually about the monument. There is also trivia, which i enjoy and like to add to articles, but it's discouraged. Others have edited since then and don't seem to have objected.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 21:15, 5 April 2022 (UTC)

DYK for Antimonumenta (Guadalajara)
On 6 April 2022, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Antimonumenta (Guadalajara), which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that antimonumentas in Mexico, like those in Guadalajara (pictured), in Morelia, or in Mexico City, are installed by protesters to demand justice for women who suffer from violence in the country? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Anti-monuments in Mexico. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Antimonumenta (Guadalajara)), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. 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.

The second round of the 2022 WikiCup has now finished. It was a high-scoring round and contestants needed 115 points to advance to round 3. There were some very impressive efforts in round 2, with the top seven contestants all scoring more than 500 points. A large number of the points came from the 11 featured articles and the 79 good articles achieved in total by contestants. Our top scorers in round 2 were:
The rules for featured and good article reviews require the review to be of sufficient length; brief quick fails and very short reviews will generally not be awarded 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.

Bolivia Carmichaels

Hello Another Believer. I'm doing a copy edit for the GOCE on Bolivia Carmichaels. Interesting article, but the person is more interesting. I wish there were a little more on her under personal life. I found a couple of articles that were complimentary. https://www.oregonlive.com/clackamascounty/2018/06/drag_show_comes_to_a_retiremen.html You might want to add these performances; they're both unique. Also found a LinkedIn page that provides personal information from Daniel Elliott https://www.linkedin.com/in/bolivia-carmichaels-daniel-elliott-91526368/ I feel that, because of the severity of BLP citation policy, this would not be considered reliable, but it does give background on her and what she does when she's not entertaining. And it is not contentious. I'm almost done editing. If you add any more content, I'll check it out. Cleveland Todd (talk) 16:24, 7 May 2022 (UTC)

Poison Waters
Your GA nomination of Poison Waters
Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Poison Waters you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of SusunW -- SusunW (talk) 14:01, 18 May 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks! ---Another Believer (Talk) 14:02, 18 May 2022 (UTC)
Your GA nomination of Poison Waters
The article Poison Waters you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Poison Waters for comments about the article. Well done! If the article has not already appeared on the main page as a "Did you know" item, or as a bold link under "In the News" or in the "On This Day" prose section, you can nominate it within the next seven days to appear in DYK. Bolded names with dates listed at the bottom of the "On This Day" column do not affect DYK eligibility. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of SusunW -- SusunW (talk) 13:21, 19 May 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks again! ---Another Believer (Talk) 13:45, 19 May 2022 (UTC)
- @SusunW Kind of a strange ask here, but on the off chance you're interested, I'm currently seeking editors to review COI requests for a draft Wikipedia article about... me! You see, someone created a low quality stub in the main space, which was then moved into draft space for improvement. I've since shared a draft entry for other editors to review and implement appropriately. If you have any interest, I invite you to take a look at Draft talk:Jason Moore for more information. Either way, happy editing! ---Another Believer (Talk) 01:58, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
- Another Believer, I'm not saying no, but neither am I able to right now. Lots of stuff on my plate both on wiki and in real life right now. SusunW (talk) 14:26, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
- @SusunW No worries! I've sought help at the admin noticeboard since someone has created a second stub about me in the main space with incorrect and unsourced information. Thanks and happy editing! ---Another Believer (Talk) 14:28, 25 May 2022 (UTC)

You're welcome to link in The Signpost if you wish. Also, if you're willing to review any of the edit requests, that's be helpful! ---Another Believer (Talk) 18:57, 24 May 2022 (UTC)

Statues and memorials
Please, if you're creating an article about a statue or memorial, give us a clue as to why the person/theme has been commemorated in a statue or memorial. I've added a sentence to Freedom Suits Memorial (I literally thought of "suits" as clothes and was baffled as to what kind of outfits needed a memorial, till I looked up Freedom suit - which wasn't even linked - and found out), but Statue of Sally Ride and Statue of Sandy Koufax could do with some explanation of who these people were. Thanks. PamD 17:57, 21 June 2022 (UTC)
Article advice
I’ve been writing about long-gone politicians for a while now and I’ve decided to try sometime different … an article on an interesting pub in Redmond called General Duffy’s Waterhole. Since you’ve done a lot of similar articles, I thought I’d seek some expert advice before I posted my article. I’ve included both positive and negative info about the pub from a wide variety of sources to keep the article balanced … noting COVID-era OLCC citations along with community awards/etc. FYI, my goal as always is to do a quality article. Also, I think the back story about General Duffy (the elk) would make a good DYK bullet. If you have time to take a quick look, you can find a draft of the article at the bottom of my user page in the Sandbox section. Any thoughts/comments would be appreciated. Thanks!--Orygun (talk) 05:49, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
