The Queen of the Tearling

I changed a redirect page to a stub article about a film and you reverted it. I would like to know why you reverted it. As an wikipedia editor you must have much more knowledge than I about what it appropriate. I do not understand what was wrong with my edits. Nick Beeson (talk) 15:34, 10 July 2014 (UTC)

@Nwbeeson: No no, there was nothing wrong with your edits, it's just Wikipedia policies about future films, please read WP:NFF. We can't create an upcoming film's article until its production / filming starts. Understand? --Captain Assassin! ^{«T ♦ C ♦ G»} 15:39, 10 July 2014 (UTC)

Thank you. That is what I needed to know. I did not know that policy.Nick Beeson (talk) 18:06, 10 July 2014 (UTC)

@Nwbeeson: Appreciate the efforts on the book article. We'll create the film article when filming starts. --Captain Assassin! ^{«T ♦ C ♦ G»} 18:10, 10 July 2014 (UTC)

Hi. I remember you nominated it for DYK. But now, it has been promoted to GA, feel free to nominate it for DYK again. I bet an interesting hook, like that of the last time proposition of Mar4d would be better. Faizan 12:08, 13 July 2014 (UTC)

News One

There is a sock playing around with the News One article. They have caused "vandalism" in the past, but it appears they have made good edits that add/delete some material at the same time. They latest edits aren't vandalism, but only add/delete material. Could you take a look and make any changes. Bgwhite (talk) 17:42, 15 July 2014 (UTC)

@Bgwhite: Yeah sure, I'll take a look. In the start people actually do these type of things, I did with Bhawana in the start, I added a lot of content without even knowing what was I doing. I'll do what I can and I'll calm the user down a bit. --Captain Assassin! ^{«T ♦ C ♦ G»} 17:56, 15 July 2014 (UTC)

Sup. If you were curious, I thanked you because I had started editing the page to do the exact same thing, and then couldn't find it as you'd fixed it before the page buffered :P If you weren't, well, you know anyway. This isn't related but I'll probably reviewing one of the articles you put up for GA over the weekend. Cool stuff. Corvoe ^{(be heard)} 19:12, 17 July 2014 (UTC)

@Corvoe: Welcome! Yep, it's cool stuff and I'm glad to work with you. It's my first time GA stuff, and I'm doing it to learn what we usually need in a good level article. A friend of mine once also suggested me to get into the GA type stuff to learn something. I hope we'll go-along well, happy editing :). --Captain Assassin! ^{«T ♦ C ♦ G»} 21:24, 17 July 2014 (UTC)

Upcoming film redirects

Hi. Can you explain why you continue to create redirects for upcoming films that have yet to enter production, despite being blocked for this activity in the last 12 months? Thanks. Lugnuts ^{Dick Laurent is dead} 17:58, 22 July 2014 (UTC)

Lugnuts, Could you list the redirects? Bgwhite (talk) 18:18, 22 July 2014 (UTC)

Sure Bgwhite, here are some from the last couple of pages/days from CA's contribution history:

1. 1
2. 2
3. 3
4. 4
5. 5
6. 6
7. 7

Those are the ones going back just to 18th July. Several follow the pattern of 1) create stub 2) slight expansion of stub 3) redirect to director! Lugnuts ^{Dick Laurent is dead} 18:22, 22 July 2014 (UTC)

Lugnuts, thank you. I see the pattern picking up speed in June. But, there a questionable creations earlier. In addition, there are movie articles created without asking me first. Per his unblock agreement, Assassin is supposed to create an article in his sandbox and ask me to movie it. He has been doing this, as evidenced by messages on my talk page, but not doing it for all films. I see this as very serious matter. An explanation is in order. Bgwhite (talk) 20:16, 22 July 2014 (UTC)

@Lugnuts: Yes, I created the redirects but only which have confirmed filming start dates, like you can see 4, 5, 6, and 7, these all have a recent start dates. I didn't create the redirects a rush form I used to create last year. While 1, 2, and 3, were only created to lead readers to their parent article like I did here. You can see, if I've created any bad redirects then I'll ask for punish myself. I only created of films whose development were moving quickly, just to lead readers to main article like everyone has rights to do it. I admitted I did wrong in the past, last year I created redirects of films which weren't supposed to be in development for even in a year or two, but now you can see 4 will begin in early August, 6 in just two days, and 7 in 10 days, and others are also moving fast.

@Bgwhite: Yes ,I created film articles without sandbox, but they were only a few, they were already redirects, so I just added confirmed sources and created them myself. I've only created a few which I can list here, if they seem to be created wrong or have any mistakes, I'll leave Wikipedia there. --Captain Assassin! ^{«T ♦ C ♦ G»} 23:39, 22 July 2014 (UTC)

You agreed not to create articles or redirects without asking first.

Articles and redirects are not to be created until filming has started, not about to start. I got after RAP for the same thing.

Those are two hard and fast rules. DO NOT break these rules again! I'll wait for what Lugnuts thinks before commenting further. Bgwhite (talk) 06:57, 23 July 2014 (UTC)

Sounds clear enough to me. Thanks Bgwhite. I'd also prefer if the redirects were deleted per WP:NFF, rather than being redirects to directors/books, etc. Lugnuts ^{Dick Laurent is dead} 08:22, 23 July 2014 (UTC)

I'm good to go with the rules. --Captain Assassin! ^{«T ♦ C ♦ G»} 15:43, 23 July 2014 (UTC)

Well, this shows you're clearly not. Care to explain? (and @Bgwhite:). Lugnuts ^{Dick Laurent is dead} 06:50, 5 August 2014 (UTC)

You also created other articles and redirects since 23 July without going thru me. Bgwhite (talk) 21:15, 5 August 2014 (UTC)

Ride Along

I don't mean to be rude, but I would strongly recommend cancelling your GA nomination of it. The prose is in need of a lot of work, especially in the plot section. If I were to review it (which I won't, because I've contributed) I would probably quick fail it, to be honest with you. I'm sorry I haven't contributed as much as I planned to—I've barely had any leisure time to watch the film—but I think you should seriously consider rescinding the nomination. Sock (pka Corvoe) ^{(be heard)}_{(my stuff)} 16:09, 1 August 2014 (UTC)

Alright Sock, I cancelled GA nom. Now, help me improving the article. I'm not good with the prose, so do it yourself and I'll see and learn. And one other thing, you reviewed the article Chef (film), which I created and expanded in the start, can I add it's GA credits in my contributions? --Captain Assassin! ^{«T ♦ C ♦ G»} 17:29, 1 August 2014 (UTC)

I don't see why not! Go for it. Also, I will do my best to get the film watched today after work. I don't have any plans today, so I'll see if I can squeeze in some time. Thank you for not taking it personally, I'm glad I didn't offend you or anything. You've done excellent work on the content expansion of the article, don't get me wrong :) I'll leave a message here when I think it's ready. Sound good? Sock (pka Corvoe) ^{(be heard)}_{(my stuff)} 17:34, 1 August 2014 (UTC)

Sound's great to me, and I never mind or take personally. I'm kind of a person who laughs when someone even abuse me and you didn't even offend or abuse me. So, please try to watch the film today and get it done. I' good in expanding articles and finding content and sources, so let me know if article needs any of these.

Godzilla 2

Dear colleague! As I see, 20 May 2014‎ you created by three edits the article Godzilla 2, but in the next minute you replaced the article with a redirect. Wikipedia has a place not only for the existing films, but for upcoming films too. So, it seems to me, that it is a good idea to restore the article (it means, to undo the last four edits on the mentioned page); why not? Gamliel Fishkin 20:43, 11 August 2014 (UTC)

Yes Gamliel Fishkin, there's place for upcoming films but only which are under filming/production per WP:NFF. --Captain Assassin! ^{«T ♦ C ♦ G»} 01:38, 12 August 2014 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Globalization (album)

The article Globalization (album) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Unsourced material, non-notable music album, hardly any content. Should be redirected.

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. DEW.

WikiProject Good articles Future GAN Backlog Drive

Hello everyone! Hope you've all been having a great summer!

TheQ Editor recently proposed the idea of having another Backlog Drive in either September/October or November/December of this year. For those of you who have participated in the past two drives you know I was the one who organized them, however, come September, this will be my most important year in school so I will not be able to coordinate this drive (if it happens). TheQ Editor has volunteered to be a coordinator for the drive. If any of you would like to co-coordinator, please notify TheQ Editor on his talk page.

If you would be interested in participating in a Backlog Drive sometime before the end of this year, please notify TheQ Editor. Also, make sure to specify what month(s) work best for you.

At the time this message was sent out, the backlog was at 520 nominations. Since May, the backlog has been steadily increasing and we are currently near an all time high. Even though the backlog will not disappear over one drive, this drive can lead to several others which will (hopefully) lead to the day where there is no longer a backlog.

As always, the more participants, the better, and everyone is encouraged to participate!

Disambiguation link notification for August 27

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Sinister 2, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page The Inquisitor. 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.

Good job. Production meets WP:GNG and filming being confirmed, instruction of WP:NFF(paragraph 3) is met. I have moved your draft to article space, added some cats, and created its talk page. If someone decides to prod it under WP:TOO SOON, explain it to them or ping me. Be well. Schmidt, ^{Michael Q.} 23:57, 28 August 2014 (UTC)

Alright, thank you MichaelQSchmidt. --Captain Assassin! ^{«T ♦ C ♦ G»} 01:06, 29 August 2014 (UTC)

GA Cup

Hello everyone! We hope you have all been having a great summer!

As we all know, the recent GAN Backlog Drives have not had any big impact on the backlog. Because of that, me (Dom497), Figureskatingfan, and TheQ Editor have worked on an idea that could possibly finally put a dent into the massive backlog. Now, I will admit, the idea isn't entirely ours as we have took the general idea of the WikiCup and brought it over to WikiProject Good Articles. But anyways, here's what we have in mind:

For all of you that do not know what the WikiCup is, it is an annual competition between several editors to see who can get the most Good Articles, Featured Article's, Did You Know's, etc. Based of this, we propose to you the GA Cup. This competition will only focus on reviewing Good articles.

For more info on the proposal, click here. As a FYI, the proposal page is not what the final product will look like (if you do go ahead with this idea). It will look very similar to WikiCup's page(s).

The discussion for the proposal will take place here. Please let us know if you are interested, have any concerns, things to consider, etc.

WikiCup 2014 August newsletter

The final of the 2014 WikiCup begins in a few short minutes! Our eight finalists are listed below, along with their placement in Round 4:

1. Godot13 (submissions), a WikiCup newcomer, finished top of Pool A and was the round's highest scorer. Godot is a featured picture specialist, claiming large numbers of points due to high-quality scans of historical documents, especially banknotes.
2. Casliber (submissions) is a WikiCup veteran, having been a finalist every year since 2010. In the semi-final, he was Pool B's highest scorer. Cas's points primarily come from articles on the natural sciences.
3. Czar (submissions) was Pool A's runner-up. Czar's points come mostly from content related to independent video games, including both articles and topics.
4. Adam Cuerden (submissions) was Pool B's runner-up. Another featured picture specialist, many of Adam's points come from the restoration of historical media. He has been a WikiCup finalist twice before.
5. Cwmhiraeth (submissions) won the WikiCup in 2012 and 2013, and enters this final as the first wildcard. She focuses on biology-related articles, and has worked on several high-importance articles.
6. 12george1 (submissions) is the second wildcard. George's points come primarily from meteorology-related articles. This year and last year, George was the first person in the competition to score.
7. Sturmvogel 66 (submissions), the third wildcard, was the 2010 champion and a finalist last year. His writes mostly on military history, especially naval history.
8. Bloom6132 (submissions), the fourth and final wildcard, has participated in previous WikiCups, but not reached any finals. Bloom's points are mostly thanks to did you knows, featured lists and good articles related to sport and national symbols.

We say goodbye to this year's semi-finalists. Matty.007 (submissions), ThaddeusB (submissions), WikiRedactor (submissions), Figureskatingfan (submissions), Yellow Evan (submissions), Prism (submissions) and Cloudz679 (submissions) have all performed well to reach this stage of the competition, and we hope they will all be joining us again next year.

There are two upcoming competitions unrelated to the WikiCup which may be of interest to those who receive this newsletter. The Stub Contest will run through September, and revolves around expanding stub articles, especially high-importance or old stubs. In addition, a proposal has been made for a new competition, the GA Cup, which the organisers plan to run next year. This competition is based on the WikiCup and aims to reduce the good article review backlog.

There is now a thread for brainstorming on how next year's WikiCup competition should work. Please come along and share your thoughts- What works? What doesn't work? What needs changing? Signups for next year's competition will be open soon; we will be in touch. If, at this stage of the competition, you are keen to help the with the WikiCup, please do what you can to participate in review processes. Our finalists will find things much easier if the backlogs at good article candidates, featured article candidates, featured picture candidates and the rest are kept at a minimum. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

WikiProject Good Articles - GA Cup

WikiProject Good Articles's 2014-15 GA Cup WikiProject Good articles is holding a new competition, the GA Cup, from October 1, 2014 - March 28, 2015. The Cup will be based on reviewing Good article nominations; for each review, points will be awarded with bonuses for older nominations, longer articles and comprehensive reviews. All participants will start off in one group and the highest scoring participants will go through to the second round. At the moment six rounds are planned, but this may change based on participant numbers. Some of you may ask: what is the purpose for a competition of this type? Currently, there is a backlog of about 500 unreviewed Good article nominations, almost an all time high. It is our hope that we can decrease the backlog in a fun way, through friendly competition. Everyone is welcome to join; new and old editors! Sign-ups will be open until October 15, 2014 so sign-up now! If you have any questions, take a look at the FAQ page and/or contact one of the four judges. Cheers from NickGibson3900, Dom497, TheQ Editor and Figureskatingfan. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 19:04, 15 September 2014 (UTC) To receive future GA Cup newsletter, please add your name to our mailing list.

Well done on promoting. I did the initial leg work :-)♦ Dr. Blofeld 19:51, 17 September 2014 (UTC)

Thank you Dr. Blofeld, I appreciate your efforts. It was so short and missing information, so I thought "why don't I take it to GA? It'll be expanded eventually." So I did it :) --Captain Assassin! ^{«T ♦ C ♦ G»} 01:26, 18 September 2014 (UTC)

Ha, you should have seen it originally!! I added all I could find at the time.♦ Dr. Blofeld 07:23, 18 September 2014 (UTC)

Dr. Blofeld, yep, I've seen the original, but it was so small even after a year of release, data was really out-dated. Reviewer TonyTheTiger helped me so much in its expansion. The funny thing is, in the start of review, TonyTheTiger said me indirectly to cancel the Nom because it was so small, but I said I would do it. In start I thought reviewer was so tough as he pop out this and that issue, and he'll not let me take this article to GA. But I admit it now that he really helped me a lot. And it would never be taken to GA without his efforts. --Captain Assassin! ^{«T ♦ C ♦ G»} 09:23, 18 September 2014 (UTC)

Ramzan Sugar Mills

Can you please fill me in on the background on Ramzan Sugar Mills? I found a forum thread that suggest the current edit warring/vandalism there is politically motivated, and you seem to have made the same observation at your request for page protection, so I was wondering what it was all about. Thanks, VeryCrocker (talk) 18:19, 16 September 2014 (UTC)

Well VeryCrocker, actually the background started from Pakistan's Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and opponent Imran Khan's fights on different issues, currently going on in the country. So now members/workers of both parties are attacking each other wherever they found a place like free-to-edit sites, like forums, Facebook and Wikipedia, etc. I'll suggest please protect the page for until all problems are solved and people would calm down. You would see the vandalism on every page attached to both politicians lives. --Captain Assassin! ^{«T ♦ C ♦ G»} 19:03, 16 September 2014 (UTC)
