Disambiguation link notification for March 16

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited George Kwok Bew, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Canton, China (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Re:Question pertaining to WP:WikiCup

There are currently 8 pools; the top two of each pool will progress to the next round, and then the 16 highest scorers of all of the remaining participants will also go through to the next round as the "fastest losers". The phrase is borrowed (I think) from motor racing. Does this clarify? J Milburn (talk) 10:06, 16 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yes it does! Thanks – that was actually what I thought; just did not understand why "fastest loser". Cheers, ☯ Bonkers The Clown \(^_^)/ Nonsensical Babble ☯ 10:10, 16 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

WikiCup 2013 March newsletter

We are halfway through round two. Pool A sees the strongest competition, with five out of eight of its competitors scoring over 100, and Pool H is lagging, with half of its competitors yet to score. WikiCup veterans lead overall; Pool A's Sturmvogel_66 (submissions) (2010's winner) leads overall, with poolmate Miyagawa (submissions) (a finalist in 2011 and 2012) not far behind. Pool F's Casliber (submissions) (a finalist in 2010, 2011 and 2012) is in third. The top two scorers in each pool, as well as the next highest 16 scorers overall, will progress to round three at the end of April.

Today has seen a number of Easter-themed did you knows from WikiCup participants, and March has seen collaboration from contestants with WikiWomen's History Month. It's great to see the WikiCup being used as a locus of collaboration; if you know of any collaborative efforts going on, or want to start anything up, please feel free to use the WikiCup talk page to help find interested editors. As well as fostering collaboration, we're also seeing the Cup encouraging the improvement of high-importance articles through the bonus point system. Highlights from the last month include GAs on physicist Niels Bohr ( Hawkeye7 (submissions)), on the European hare ( Cwmhiraeth (submissions)), on the constellation Circinus ( Keilana (submissions) and Casliber (submissions)) and on the Third Epistle of John ( Cerebellum (submissions)). All of these subjects were covered on at least 50 Wikipedias at the beginning of the year and, subsequently, each contribution was awarded at least three times as many points as normal.

Wikipedians who enjoy friendly competition may be interested in participating in April's wikification drive. While wikifying an article is typically not considered "significant work" such that it can be claimed for WikiCup points, such gnomish work is often invaluable in keeping articles in shape, and is typically very helpful for new writers who may not be familiar with formatting norms.

A quick reminder: now, submission pages will need only a link to the article and a link to the nomination page, or, in the case of good article reviews, a link to the review only. See your submissions' page for details. This will hopefully make updating submission pages a little less tedious. 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. 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.

The Amazing Race 22

While I appreciate your efforts to update the article as I had requested on the talk page, you are now actually getting in the my way.

Proposed deletion of William Orr (coal miner)

The article William Orr (coal miner) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

WP:NOTABILITY not asserted

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.

You may add it back if you think that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Speedy deletion nomination of William Orr (coal miner)

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on William Orr (coal miner) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

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 "Click here to 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 removed 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, you can place a request here. Inks.LWC (talk) 07:50, 5 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Although it's red, it hasn't been deleted - I've moved it (without leaving a redirect) to William Orr (trade unionist), given that his trade union work was far more significant than his mining... Do check my note on the talkpage, by the way - you didn't do yourself any favours with this one. Yunshui 雲‍水 09:58, 5 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

WP:NPA

Hello, I'm Coffeepusher. I noticed that you made a comment on the page Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Trisha Paytas that didn't seem very civil, so it has been removed. Wikipedia needs people like you and me to collaborate, so it's one of our core principles to interact with one another in a polite and respectful manner. If you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. please comment on content not a contributor Coffeepusher (talk) 14:59, 7 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The comment hasn't been removed, I would like you to strike it. We can have a difference of opinion on what seems notable that is what the AFD is for, but please don't make assumptions on an editor during the AFD process. You have been around long enough to understand the policies.Coffeepusher (talk) 15:02, 7 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I think Bonkers should have been more careful with his wording; but actually, saying that someone's comments sound stupid is a comment on their edits, not a comment on them as a person or their overall value as a contributor. --Demiurge1000 (talk) 15:05, 7 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm actually taking offence on the assumption that I was careless with the nomination. I checked for sources and could only find two events being reported on, she is a tanning addict just like the entire state of California, and she had an opinion about the presidential election, and those are the findings of the AFD as well. For me this does not establish notability and I said so in my comments. Now others have found more reliable sources and the AFD disagrees with my assessment, which I think is just fine and a testament to the process, but when an experienced editor comes in and says that another editor sounds stupid because they didn't check hard enough... there is no good faith in that comment, it is a commenting on the editor not the content, and it doesn't establish a collaborative environment. Just because people disagree with my nomination doesn't mean I am a trigger happy AFD nominator.Coffeepusher (talk) 15:12, 7 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Look Bonkers, you are a good editor and I am not trying to attack you but I do just want you to strike your comment about me. That is all I am trying to do here.Coffeepusher (talk) 15:50, 7 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Fake Sun Wukong

The article Fake Sun Wukong has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

A search for reliable, secondary sources reveals an insufficient amount of significant coverage. This article fails Wikipedia's notability guidelines for fictional characters.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

edit summary for 2013 Boston Marathon bombings

Don't take this the wrong way, but perhaps an article about a recent terrorist attack isn't the best place to experiment with humorous grammar related edit summaries.

Message noted. 1) How is this even humorous? Wasn't meant to be.

2) How was that grammar related? I was just fixing some commas. ☯ Bonkers The Clown \(^_^)/ Nonsensical Babble ☯ 14:04, 16 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It just seemed odd, it was an edit summary that read "We pray for your souls" where said text wiki-linked to a guideline about comma usage in references. 1) Maybe I overreacted, but it came across as a really tasteless (if not outright bizarre) joke given the context. 2) And yes, technically punctuation related, not grammar. (+)H₃N-Protein\Chemist-CO₂(-) 14:10, 16 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for snapping at you, as I said given the context it seemed like your edit summary was some sort of bizarre joke.. something along the lines of "We pray for your souls, because of your incorrect comma usage".

Haha! For a moment I thought you really shaved it bald... They conceal it quite well with a bald cap. :P Unfortunately the FB link appears to be broken. Anyway, thanks for lightening up my day :) ☯ Bonkers The Clown \(^_^)/ Nonsensical Babble ☯ 07:41, 27 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I would imagine your first reaction was something more like an surprised expletive rather than raised eyebrows (LOL). The key to a good bald cap application is in the make-up artist being skilled enough to hide all the edges and then making the (in my case, silicon not latex) bald cap match existing skin (tone, freckles, moles, etc). This application was made to look 100% authentic for 360° of filming. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 18:21, 27 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Teehee... Yes, neat work. ☯ Bonkers The Clown \(^_^)/ Nonsensical Babble ☯ 04:30, 28 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Bonkers I have no objections to you starting decent articles and leaving them on our page for us to look at but a lot of your edits in all honesty are starting to grate with us. Mainly in your edit summaries like this and at noms which come across as snarky. I know you mean well but please don't do this, we work as a team. I'm asking you to back off a bit. ♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld 12:44, 5 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Edit summaries

Hi Bonkers The Clown. Some of your recent edit summaries seem peculiar to me while at least one seemed offensive: "Dracula" on the Noemi Marone Cinzano article when you added the word "countess" in the article. Please consider being neutral in your edit summaries as taking the high road. Thx. --Rosiestep (talk) 15:19, 5 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, I will keep that in mind. ☯ Bonkers The Clown \(^_^)/ Nonsensical Babble ☯ 22:52, 5 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

When I say stop making snarky edit summaries I mean it. I've spotted numerous ones since I warned you the first time for belittling Nvv's edits, I'm concerned you are putting him off. Make another edit summary which in any way comes across as sarcastic or questioning the other editors ability and I'll permanently ignore you and any work you do towards our project. I'm sure you don't mean to be malicious but it's coming across as a know-it-all and very irritating at times. If errors have been made or you disagree with something don't say so in edit summaries as it keeps a permanent record of it and in a way humiliates the editor by revealing their mistakes. or showing them up. Don't do it again.♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld 12:06, 13 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

WikiCup 2013 April newsletter

We are a week into Round 3, but it is off to a flying start, with Sven Manguard (submissions) claiming for the high-importance Portal:Sports and Portal:Geography (which are the first portals ever awarded bonus points in the WikiCup) and Cwmhiraeth (submissions) claiming for a did you know of sea, the highest scoring individual did you know article ever submitted for the WikiCup. Round 2 saw very impressive scores at close; first place Casliber (submissions) and second place Sturmvogel_66 (submissions) both scored over 1000 points; a feat not seen in Round 2 since 2010. This, in part, has been made possible by the change in the bonus points rules, but is also testament to the quality of the competition this year. Pool C and Pool G were most competitive, with three quarters of participants making it to Round 3, while Pool D was the least, with only the top two scorers making it through. The lowest qualifying score was 123, significantly higher than last year's 65, 2011's 41 or even 2010's 100.

The next issue of The Signpost is due to include a brief update on the current WikiCup, comparing it to previous years' competitions. This may be of interest to current WikiCup followers, and may help bring some more new faces into the community. We would also like to note that this round includes an extra competitor to the 32 advertised, who has been added to a random pool. This extra inclusion seems to have been the fairest way to deal with a small mistake made before the beginning of this round, but should not affect the competition in a large way. If you have any questions or concerns about this, please feel free to contact one of the judges.

A rules clarification: content promoted between rounds can be claimed in the round after the break, but not the round before. The case in point is content promoted on 29/30 April, which may be claimed in this round. 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. 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.
