March GOCE newsletter

Guild of Copy Editors March 2019 Newsletter

Hello and welcome to the March newsletter, a brief update of Guild activities since December 2018. All being well, we're planning to issue these quarterly in 2019, balancing the need to communicate widely with the avoidance of filling up talk pages. Don't forget you can unsubscribe at any time; see below.

January Drive: Thanks to everyone for the splendid work in January's Backlog Elimination Drive. We removed copyedit tags from all of the articles tagged in our original target months of June, July and August 2018, and by 24 January we ran out of articles. After adding September, we finished the month with 8 target articles remaining and 842 left in the backlog. GOCE copyeditors also completed 48 requests for copyedit in January. Of the 31 people who signed up for this drive, 24 copyedited at least one article. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here.

Blitz: Thanks to everyone who participated in the February Blitz. Of the 15 people who signed up, 13 copyedited at least one article. Participants claimed 32 copyedits, including 15 requests. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here.

Progress report: As of 23:39, 18 March 2019 (UTC), GOCE copyeditors have completed 108 requests since 1 January and the backlog stands at 851 articles.

March Drive: The month-long March drive is now underway; the target months are October and November 2018. Awards will be given to everyone who copyedits at least one article from the backlog. Sign up here!

Election reminder: It may only be March but don't forget our mid-year Election of Coordinators opens for nominations on 1 June. Coordinators normally serve a six-month term and are elected on an approval basis. Self-nominations are welcome. If you've thought of helping out at the Guild, or know of another editor who would make a good coordinator, please consider standing for election or nominating them here.

Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators Miniapolis, Baffle gab1978, Jonesey95, Reidgreg and Tdslk.

The other foot?

Ahoy, Captain! I hope you're enjoying your vacation. I noticed you listed Mike Salzano at WP:FOOTYDEL, but I think he plays the other kind of footy? I didn't want to just remove it without checking with you first. Best, Levivich 04:05, 25 March 2019 (UTC)

When in the cloud, do as the APIs do

Half a century ago, it was the era of the mainframe computer, with its air-conditioned room, twitching tape-drives, and appearance in the title of a spy novel Billion-Dollar Brain then made into a Hollywood film. Now we have the cloud, with server farms and the client–server model as quotidian: this text is being typed on a Chromebook.

File:Cloud-API-Logo.svg
Logo of Cloud API on Google Cloud Platform

The term Applications Programming Interface or API is 50 years old, and refers to a type of software library as well as the interface to its use. While a compiler is what you need to get high-level code executed by a mainframe, an API out in the cloud somewhere offers a chance to perform operations on a remote server. For example, the multifarious bots active on Wikipedia have owners who exploit the MediaWiki API.

APIs (called RESTful) that allow for the GET HTTP request are fundamental for what could colloquially be called "moving data around the Web"; from which Wikidata benefits 24/7. So the fact that the Wikidata SPARQL endpoint at query.wikidata.org has a RESTful API means that, in lay terms, Wikidata content can be GOT from it. The programming involved, besides the SPARQL language, could be in Python, younger by a few months than the Web.

Magic words, such as occur in fantasy stories, are wishful (rather than RESTful) solutions to gaining access. You may need to be a linguist to enter Ali Baba's cave or the western door of Moria (French in the case of "Open Sesame", in fact, and Sindarin being the respective languages). Talking to an API requires a bigger toolkit, which first means you have to recognise the tools in terms of what they can do. On the way to the wikt:impactful or polymathic modern handling of facts, one must perhaps take only tactful notice of tech's endemic problem with documentation, and absorb the insightful point that the code in APIs does articulate the customary procedures now in place on the cloud for getting information. As Owl explained to Winnie-the-Pooh, it tells you The Thing to Do.

First edit day

Thank you for your first edit congratulatory message. Better late than never, I suppose. I have been editing now for thirteen years, and have been an admin for twelve!----Anthony Bradbury"talk" 11:34, 2 April 2019 (UTC)

O bhai sahab

Article is reviewed by legacy & angus & it went live, it has news references & media coverage who on the earth delete the article which went live & have significant news references? It is because film is anti india & you put deletion tag am i right? I can give u one link please see

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Evil_Marriage

Advertising?

How am I advertising him? Sorry if that came out rude I’m sorta new to this but could you tell me which part you didn’t like. Lamarsmith15 (talk) 12:55, 3 April 2019 (UTC)

@Lamarsmith15: It's commonplace enough that people wish to bolster their credibility by having a wikipedia article. The question for the Ben Brooks (investor) article is whether the whole thing is an example of that practice, or an example of an individual who passes WP:GNG. I think CAPTAIN RAJU, working at speed as we all do when reviewing new articles, decided that it was, in effect, a WP:SPAM article. I've taken the view that it is not. On another day, it is as likely that I would have taken Raju's part, and they might have taken my part. I think it's not unreasonable to say that Ben currently sits somewhere fairly close to the borderline; opinions will differ as to which side of the border he's to be found. I can totally appreciate why Raja looked at the article and decided it was spam. So I think, rather than a specific part of the article, it's the whole thing.
If Raju wishes to pursue their concern, they'll now take the article to AfD, and if that happens, we'll have to buckle down and do a more forensic examination of whether or not GNG is in fact passed. --Tagishsimon (talk) 19:29, 3 April 2019 (UTC)

Thursday April 4 and Friday April 5: Translat-a-thon NYC 2019 @ LaGuardia Community College

Translat-a-thon NYC 2019 @ LaGuardia Community College is hosting the second annual Wikipedia Translatathon! At this event on Thursday evening and during the day Friday this week, anyone from the public is invited to LaGuardia to join students, professors, and CUNY faculty in translating Wikipedia articles among any languages which attendees understand. Themes for this event include public health and the history of New York City.

New York City has a large immigrant population and great diversity of speakers of various languages. Among all schools in New York City, LaGuardia has the highest percentage of immigrant students, the highest percentage of students who speak a language other than English as their first language, and the greatest representation of language diversity. It is a strength of LaGuardia that it can present "Wikipedia translatathons", which are Wikipedia translation events.

Bhapa pitha

Why do you think that my contribution was not constructive?If you can read you should also know that the name "Bhapa pitha" is a Bengali which referes to Bangladesh or West Bengal but West Bengal is not the whole india so in the country section India can not be puted as West Bengal is not a country.But in the region or state section you will see that it is like what it was before cause West Bengal is a state or region not a country.And now come to the point of origin in next chat.

  • Two more administrator accounts were compromised. Evidence has shown that these attacks, like previous incidents, were due to reusing a password that was used on another website that suffered a data breach. If you have ever used your current password on any other website, you should change it immediately. All admins are strongly encouraged to enable two-factor authentication, please consider doing so. Please always practice appropriate account security by ensuring your password is secure and unique to Wikimedia.
  • As a reminder, according to WP:NOQUORUM, administrators looking to close or relist an AfD should evaluate a nomination that has received few or no comments as if it were a proposed deletion (PROD) prior to determining whether it should be relisted.
