Alodia

Hey, remember Alodia and your Peer review? Just a couple of days ago I nominated that entry for the FA-status. Perhaps you are interested in reviewing it or do some copy edits? I would certainly appreciate that. LeGabrie (talk) 16:53, 3 May 2018 (UTC)

@LeGabrie, hey—nice! Looks like someone beat me to it, but I would generally recommend doing a GA review before attempting the FA review, especially for your first and if only for clearing up the low-hanging fruit in advance. The FA review has its own style/depth so it's helpful to reduce the areas reviewers can nitpick. BB's comments are on point but perhaps I can help? czar 00:39, 4 May 2018 (UTC)

As I think you have noticed, I have just assessed Alodia as a Good Article. I was impressed. I suspect that it is now up to FAN standard. Still things to pick at, but most will probably not get sorted until it is actually FA reviewed. (I think that I gave LeGabrie a bit of a hard time: insisting that he put it through GOCE; then re-copy editing it myself. But it has, IMO, resulted in a high quality article.)

Your GA nomination of Judith Kanakuze

The article Judith Kanakuze you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Judith Kanakuze for comments about the article. Well done! If the article has not already been on the main page as an "In the news" or "Did you know" item, you can nominate it to appear in Did you know.

Hi

I found your name in the list of peer review volunteers, I currently have an article at FAC that desperately needs more reviews and/or comments. It would be greatly appreciated, but no worries if you're too busy to tackle it. Best – jona ✉ 18:37, 4 May 2018 (UTC)

I've been there before so I hear you, @AJona1992, but I really recommend not using that volunteer list to contact people outside of their listed topic areas, as that can be construed as spam or canvassing czar 21:58, 6 May 2018 (UTC)

Sorry about that, I read your topic interests and it said "experiemental music" which the album's creators explored. Netherless, I'll refrain from using that list. Best – jona ✉ 16:07, 9 May 2018 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Featured article review/Cortana (Halo)/archive1

@David Fuchs, on which points were you awaiting response? The point of the review is to retain the article by current FAC standards, so while I think it's a ways off, no one's in a hurry to delist and I hope you'll continue to improve it. czar 05:50, 6 May 2018 (UTC)

Czar

The original lithograph of the "Bird's Eye view of Phoenix" map created by Czar J. Dyer which is located inside the Smurthwaite House's main room.

Hi there, I came across your user name "Czar" which I find interesting. I don't know if that is your real name nor have I ever met anyone before with that name. The thing is that, as a historian I once came upon a historical figure in Phoenix with that name. This is who he was: Czar James Dyer once served as a Phoenix city councilman and in 1899 as the acting mayor of Phoenix. Dyer drew the "Bird's Eye view of Phoenix" map which is currently on display in the Smurthwaite House. Take care, Tony the Marine (talk) 22:37, 6 May 2018 (UTC)

Hi @Marine 69-71—interesting! For me, it was a college nickname. Probably would go with something less severe if I were to start over, though years ago, when I was a peon, it did have its tongue-in-cheek moment towards Wikipedia's famous power dynamics. I've met a few Cesars but can't say I've met a given-name Czar, which would make C.J. my first. Thanks for the info czar 09:56, 8 May 2018 (UTC)

Hi, help filling out Forensic Architecture page

Hiya,

I'm a researcher with Forensic Architecture, and since we saw this page pop up, we thought it would be helpful to support the Wiki communities efforts to document us and our work. To that end, I'm putting together a google doc with a lot of information, categorised, about FA, our history, methodology, publications, case history, partners, funding, etc.

However, I'm completely new to wikipedia editing. Would you be interested to help me format the content I have into Wikipedia-ready material?

You can reach me at rt at forensic dash architecture dot org. Hope to hear from you.

Bob Bob Trafford 1990 (talk) 10:42, 8 May 2018 (UTC)

Hi @Bob Trafford 1990, thanks for reaching out. You likely don't need to put together all that stuff. Wikipedia prefers to paraphrase what has been written (and what can reference) reliable, secondary sources for purposes of trust and verifiability (see our five pillars). If you'd like, feel free to collect sources similar in stature that are not currently mentioned in the article. You can also take a photograph of the team and/or get a representative from the team to release photos/video of the org's work under a Wikipedia-compatible Creative Commons license for use on Wikipedia and other free culture projects. (Remember that photographers own the copyright to their photos unless done as work for hire with rights transfer, and that FA would own the rights to the group's work/visualization unless released by its legal representative. For a standard release, see Wikipedia:Consent.) After taking a look at our conflict of interest guidelines, we can discuss fruitful ways to propose content/text for the article. czar 10:16, 9 May 2018 (UTC)

OK, great, thanks for this. I've read through the COI page now and would be happy to start talking about how to propose and supply content and sources.

Of course a major source for information about FA and how we work is our own website, though I appreciate you will presumably have concerns using that as a source. I can provide a long list of media sources for information about us - can you direct me to where they should be posted? As I mentioned, I can also provide factual information like: awards and nominations, exhibitions, publications/bibliography. Where can I leave this information so that Wikipedia editors can use it to build our page?

@Bob Trafford 1990, you can compile on the article's talk page (Talk:Forensic Architecture) and I can help format for bibliography. Again, interested almost exclusively in reliable, secondary sources (major newspapers/magazines/blogs, not primary sources or sources affiliated with the org).

Jill Valentine

So it's been 3 days since Jill Valentine's FAC was closed on the basis that I hadn't worked collaboratively with previous reviewers, yet you've not edited the article or attempted to contact me about working collaboratively to fix its problems since. So, was it all just a ploy to get the FAC closed, or are you genuinely prepared to sit down and sort this out? Homeostasis07 (talk) 01:01, 2 June 2018 (UTC)

Good luck working collaboratively with anyone if this is how you introduce yourself. czar 03:39, 2 June 2018 (UTC)

Awww, and here I was, thinking the two of us were past the point of introductions. I'm offended. So if we're done with the hurt bunny routines, can you respond here with your laundry list of what you believe to be wrong with Jill Valentine? I said in FAC3 that I'd prefer not to spend the next 6 months on this one article, but since FAC3 was closed the way it was: December here FAC4 comes! And since you were the only one who commented @ FAC3, I'm giving your opinions priority. Keep in mind that there are literally 24 other users to consult before FAC4—albeit, maybe 4 of which might reply. But if one of those raises objections to changes we made, we'd have to re-discuss. So badda-bing, badda-boom, get the leg out, et cetera. Homeostasis07 (talk) 00:48, 3 June 2018 (UTC)

I don't think you need to consult literally every editor who ever had a stake in the article, but I would advise opening a peer review, pinging the most active reviewers there, and using that space to get the article's affairs in order before another FAC. The idea is to resolve any extant issues prior to the nom so there is little to discuss and the "supports" are lined up.

I won't be providing a laundry list. As I said in the review, I don't have the time to walk through the needed changes in minutiae. I can give general direction—as I have, my points in the FAC withstanding—but surgical in this case would require a chainsaw. The FAC reviewer's job is to compare against the criteria, not to give indefinite consult. I recommend not entitling yourself to anyone's time. Besides being a bad look in general, WP remains a volunteer project and there are plenty of worthier areas for one's attention than responding to misplaced belittling. This article's baggage is such that all potential reviewers share dread similar to that expressed in your Freikorp quote. If this FA is something you want, it's for you to figure out and not on any other editor to provide some checklist of an answer key. czar 01:32, 3 June 2018 (UTC)

I did plan on responding here with my affirming to create PR3 or, perhaps – looking at the other comments on your talk page – the prospect of creating a draft version of the article which willing editors could go to town on. But, instead... this: I have to mention now, it's not uncommon for nominations to be modified based on comments made at FAC. Your last comment at FAC3 included an impressively long list of improvements to be made at Jill Valentine#Reception and legacy, even though those comments are now completely inconsistant with how you've edited the article—you decimated the entire first paragraph, when your complaints at FAC were concerned primarily with re-writing and re-arranging random bits of prose (ironically, the exact/only thing you said I'd done prior to nomination); removing the names of two authors from the prose; to expand the prose derived from certain sources, but you've now removed basically all prose from those sources.

Removal of sourced content from high-quality reliable sources would not be acceptable in any other situation. With all this in mind, I no longer believe you are genuinely here to improve this article. But, please, continue. You've done the first paragraph, so I'm fascinated to see how paragraphs two and three – her sexual objectification – would look after you've taken your "chainsaw" to them, because those are definitely the most troublesome paragraphs of the entire article. And by the by, I don't appreciate being called a "belittling" time-waster, or you insinuating that I am somehow not also a volunteer editor. My only investment in this article is seeing through the biggest mess I have ever come across on my 11 years on Wikipedia. Homeostasis07 (talk) 23:25, 4 June 2018 (UTC)

Ya, so I'll draw the line here—I'm not entertaining this hornet's nest of insinuations. Good luck with your project. czar 00:43, 5 June 2018 (UTC)

Take your ball and run home much? All things considered, I think this "belittling" lil' time-waster with suspect reasons for editing the article at all has been fairly polite. The only insinuations here have been yours. But I understand: this kitchen has gotten hot, so you're leaving. It's telling that you're leaving at the point you are, though—sexual objectification.

Neotenic Complex Syndrome

I only noticed after the fact that neotenic complex syndrome was an article that you were involved in a previous vote to delete. I only just found out after I started fixing the redirects, and I don't know what information was included in the article that was selected to be deleted, so I don't know if what was written and referenced before was significantly different from what I've written up. In any case, I noticed that the unknown "Syndrome X" was officially identified as NCS, was no longer tied to more than just one individual, and showed interesting characteristics and prospects for further research opportunities into aging genetics. Thus my article creation. If it isn't worthy of its own page, then I apologize for re-creating it, and wanted to bring it to your attention to leave it to you to have it deleted or let it remain. Gethralkin (talk) 03:47, 4 June 2018 (UTC)

Adding to anarchism related pages

Hello, I've noticed a number of your edits to anarchist related pages and especially to the Anarchism in the United States page. I've been looking to contribute and create pages related to historic and contemporary organizations in the US but I've had difficulty. I was hoping to start with a page on Black Rose Anarchist Federation but a moderator flagged it lack of notability and it was deleted - though you can find a German language entry ironically. But I found this very troubling as when you go to the American Socialism template for active and defunct parties, there are numerous examples of small (some larger) organizations with few references outside of their own internal documents and somehow these manage to avoid deletion. It appears to be a double standard. Any advice? Aweaver81 (talk) 20:40, 8 June 2018 (UTC)

Hi @Aweaver81, thanks for reaching out. The primary obstacle to your case is sourcing. I think my summary at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Black Rose Anarchist Federation does a decent job, but the gist is that as a tertiary source, we need reliable, secondary sources to paraphrase: articles from mainstream newspapers, magazines, blogs, and alt weeklies with editorial oversight. Without that, we'd have to resort to primary and affiliated sourcing, which is closer to original research. The histories of these contemporary orgs have yet to be reliably written, as far as I've seen, but as book chapters and similar overviews of these orgs are eventually written, we can eventually revisit whether the sources are sufficient for us to do justice to the topic. Until then, we use the few reliable sources we have to expand summary style in the Anarchism in the United States article.

As for applying this standard globally, WP is too big to address everything at once, so the refrain usually goes, "other stuff exists", meaning that some of those socialist parties may require redirection or deletion too. Each article is judged on its own merits. Feel free to run any past me here for feedback. As for de:Black Rose Anarchist Federation, the same logic applies, but I'd add that each language WP has its own rules. Some might be more stringent than others with notability. Others are most likely just waiting for someone to notice and raise the articles for discussion.

If you find additional reliable, secondary sources for Black Rose, let's discuss and I can help to restore. czar 02:48, 9 June 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for your response and I'll continue to search for additional sources. Another new one is this quote: “Groups like the Black Rose Anarchist Federation and the May 1 Anarchist Alliance, with their articulated principles and explicit strategies, are hardly typical of anarchism as a while.” which appears in Whither Anarchism by Kristian Williams (AK Press) P 25 Link. But I also would take up the challenge that a great deal of entries for defunct and current left organizations would not meet the criteria of secondary sources that describe the group beyond mentioning their existence. I have observed this previously in my research but I hope to compile notes to make the point that anarchist organizations are being held to a higher standard than socialist organization. Aweaver81 (talk) 12:58, 11 June 2018 (UTC)

@Aweaver81, you'll want sources that go into depth on the subject, as it's nigh impossible to do justice to a topic by stringing together brief mentions and asides. Another alternative is to expand from the extant sources in Contemporary anarchism (without going top-heavy on US-specific recent history) alongside Anarchism in the United States. As for the latter claim on preferential treatment, in the last year, I've addressed hundreds of cleanup tags that had been placed on anarchism-related articles over the past decade. That no one has done the same for the socialist orgs is not a matter of prejudice but of editor will. My advice—in the grand Wikipedia tradition of direct action—is to be the one to clean their cobwebs, spruce up their sourcing, or redirect to their parent articles, as that would be more productive than simply compiling examples, as you mention. Happy to help with whatever you find. czar 03:33, 12 June 2018 (UTC)

Recreation of David Michigan at David Michigan (fitness trainer)

Hi. You deleted David Michigan after an AfD and subsequently protected the page. It has been recently recreated at David Michigan (fitness trainer).

Question about your revert of my revision on Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels

Hi, Czar.
Regarding your revert of my revision on Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels, I didn’t think that Super Mario All-Stars was an emulation, which is why I added the release dates to the infobox. What makes it an emulation? Interqwark ^{talk contribs} 03:03, 12 June 2018 (UTC)

How can the Interaction Timeline be useful in reporting to noticeboards?

Hi czar,

The Anti-Harassment Tools team built the Interaction Timeline to make it easier to understand how two people interact and converse across multiple pages on a wiki. The tool shows a chronological list of edits made by two users, only on pages where they have both made edits within the provided time range. Our goals are to assist users to make well informed decisions in incidents of user misconduct and to keep on-wiki discussions civil and focused on evidence.

We're looking to add a feature to the Interaction Timeline that makes it easy to post statistics and information to an on-wiki discussion about user misconduct. We're discussing possible wikitext output on the project talk page, and we invite you to participate!

What properties does Commons need?

Greetings,

Structured Commons will need properties to make statements about files. The development team is working on making the software ready to support properties; the question is, what properties does Commons need?

You can find more information and examples to help find properties in a workshop on Commons. Please participate and help fill in the list, and let me know if you have any questions. Thanks! -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 18:53, 28 June 2018 (UTC)

Nomination of Wrecking Ball (Overwatch) for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Wrecking Ball (Overwatch) is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Wrecking Ball (Overwatch) until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Computer40 «»(talk) 07:37, 3 July 2018 (UTC)

Gender pronouns

I quite deliberately used the gender neutral 'they' because the user has never once, to my knowledge all these years, declared their gender and has been careful not to do so. It would not be at all unusual for users to choose names that are generally attributed to the opposite sex. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 09:27, 5 July 2018 (UTC)

"She" is her preferred pronoun, as declared in her profile alongside this text:

How do you prefer to be described? [Option two "She edits wiki pages"] Setting this preference is optional. The software uses its value to address you and to mention you to others using the appropriate grammatical gender. This information will be public.

The point of using the {{gender}} template is to respect that. Secondarily, the sentence was ambiguous as to whether "they" was a single or set of admin. Already said to recast as you wish. czar 10:08, 5 July 2018 (UTC)

Signpost byline

I'll ask early, since you started issue 8's In the media section. Would you like to be listed either as a main byline contributor or as one of the "other contributors"? See last month's In brief section for an example. ☆ Bri (talk) 21:03, 6 July 2018 (UTC)

Hiya @Bri, I don't think I've made enough of a contribution to warrant credit, but I appreciate your asking. I often come across stories for ITM but don't know where to put them, so having the open draft helps. czar 00:09, 8 July 2018 (UTC)

Structured Data on Commons Newsletter - Summer 2018

Welcome to the newsletter for Structured Data on Wikimedia Commons! You can update your subscription to the newsletter and contribute to the next issue. Do inform others who you think will want to be involved in the project!

Community updates

• Our dedicated IRC channel: wikimedia-commons-sd ^webchat
• Since our last newsletter, the Structured Data team has moved into designing and building prototypes for various features. The use of multilingual captions in the UploadWizard and on the file page has been researched, designed, discussed, and built out for use. Behind the scenes, back-end work on search is taking place and designs are being drawn up for the front-end. There will soon be specifications published for the use of the first Wikidata property on Commons, "Depicts," and a prototype is to be released to go along with that.

Things to do / input and feedback requests

• A workshop on what Wikidata properties Commons will need. This workshop will be open for the entire month of July 2018 at minimum.

• Join the community focus group!
• Do you want to help out translating messages about Structured Data on Commons from English to your own language? Sign up on the translators page.
• Contribute to the next newsletter.

Discussions held

• In late February there was a discussion around how Commons generally sees data being modeled.

• The first discussion on copyright and licensing with Commons was held in March. This was a "high level" discussion, there will be a consultation later this summer about the deeper mapping of copyright and licensing in a structured way.
• In April there was an exercise for GLAM partners in metadata and ontology mapping.
• A discussion about the design for Multilingual Captions on the file page took place in May. You can still review the designs and leave feedback.
• There was an IRC office hour in June to discuss progress so far and future plans.

Wikimania 2018

• Three sessions about Structured Commons are officially scheduled for Wikimania 2018 - Cape Town, South Africa - July 2018.
  • Wikimedia Commons and GLAM needs around the world (Friday 20 July, 10:30 local time)
  • Structured Data on Wikimedia Commons and knowledge equity (Friday 20 July, 14:00 local time)
  • Design challenge workshop: How can multilingual structured metadata bring knowledge equity to Commons? (Friday 20 July, 14:30 local time)
• Structured Data on Commons is also a focus area during the Wikimania 2018 Hackathon. We will, among other things, do 'live' modelling of Wikidata properties for Commons - an offline spin-off of the community consultation taking place on wiki.

Partners and allies

• We are still welcoming (more) staff from GLAMs (Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums) to become part of our long-term focus group (phabricator task T174134). You will be kept in the loop of the project, and receive regular small surveys and requests for feedback. Get in touch with Sandra if you're interested - your input in helping to shape this project is highly valued!
• Structured Data on Commons was presented to GLAM audiences during EuropeanaTech 2018 in Rotterdam (15 May 2018) and at the Deutsche Digitale Bibliothek Forum in Berlin (4 June 2018).

Research

Two research projects about Wikimedia Commons are currently ongoing, or in the process of being finished:

1. Research:Curation workflows on Wikimedia Commons—a project that seeks to understand the current workflows of Commons contributors who curate media (categorize it, delete it, link to it from other projects, etc.).
2. Research:Technical needs of external re-users of Commons media—soliciting feedback from individuals and organizations that re-use Commons content outside of Wikimedia projects, in order to understand their current painpoints and unmet needs.

Development

• Prototypes will be available for Depicts soon.

Stay up to date!

• Follow the Structured Data on Commons project on Phabricator: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/profile/34/
• Subscribe to this newsletter to receive it on a talk page of your own choice.
• Join the next IRC office hour and ask questions to the team! The date for next quarter will be announced soon.

Structured Data Newsletter - Research link fix

Greetings,

The newsletter omitted two interwiki prefixes, breaking the links on non-meta wikis as you might see above. Here are the correct links:

1. m:Research:Curation workflows on Wikimedia Commons—a project that seeks to understand the current workflows of Commons contributors who curate media (categorize it, delete it, link to it from other projects, etc.).
2. m:Research:Technical needs of external re-users of Commons media—soliciting feedback from individuals and organizations that re-use Commons content outside of Wikimedia projects, in order to understand their current painpoints and unmet needs.

My apologies, I hope you find the corrected links helpful.

Draft:Ford v. Ferrari

Hello! Please do the histmerge of Draft:Ford V Ferrari into Draft:Ford v. Ferrari. There are two drafts and we should keep the original draft with the title Draft:Ford v. Ferrari, thanks. --Captain Assassin! ^{«T ♦ C ♦ G»} 18:42, 21 July 2018 (UTC)

@Captain Assassin!, since the edit histories conflict, I'd just merge as necessary to the proper title and mark the edit summary as such czar 20:22, 21 July 2018 (UTC)

Yeah sure, merge the edits until June 13, 2018‎. Thanks. --Captain Assassin! ^{«T ♦ C ♦ G»} 15:52, 22 July 2018 (UTC)

Draft:Call of the Wild (2019 film)

Hello! Please either do the histmerge of Draft:The Call of the Wild into the Draft:Call of the Wild (2019 film) just the edits before July 22, 2018‎, or move Draft:The Call of the Wild to the Draft:Call of the Wild (2019 film). Thanks. --Captain Assassin! ^{«T ♦ C ♦ G»} 16:32, 26 July 2018 (UTC)

@Captain Assassin!, ✓ done czar 02:58, 27 July 2018 (UTC)

Hello again! I wasn't sure of the first edit done on June 26, 2018‎. It was nothing more than a few words mentioning the film, couldn't it be deleted, so the draft could proper start from my first edit of July 17, 2018? --Captain Assassin! ^{«T ♦ C ♦ G»} 17:40, 27 July 2018 (UTC)

And please undo the deleted edits of Draft:Charlie's Angels (2019 film), I have new updates on the film and it will begin filming soon. Thanks. --Captain Assassin! ^{«T ♦ C ♦ G»} 18:25, 27 July 2018 (UTC)

Agreed that the edit isn't contributing much but there's no policy for deleting such edits. (Didn't you start the article atop that edit or was it my error in the page move?) czar 17:07, 28 July 2018 (UTC)

My edit was done before that edit, I don't know how it got before. I think you made the mistake moving the page. And please undo the deleted edits of Draft:Charlie's Angels (2019 film). Thanks. --Captain Assassin! ^{«T ♦ C ♦ G»} 16:45, 29 July 2018 (UTC)

I think it was the July 22 histmerge (before me) but in any event, I think it would make sense to redirect potential names for the draft so others know how to find it (and so that we don't have three drafts of the same article) czar 17:13, 29 July 2018 (UTC)

Yeah maybe. It's done nicely now. Thanks. --Captain Assassin! ^{«T ♦ C ♦ G»} 17:33, 29 July 2018 (UTC)

Hello again! Wouldn't it be nice to histmerge Charlie's Angels (2019 film) into Draft:Charlie's Angels (2019 film), it has no time or date conflicts this time so it should be easy for now. --Captain Assassin! ^{«T ♦ C ♦ G»} 18:12, 29 July 2018 (UTC)

My suggestion would be to histmerge the draft to the mainspace version but only if that article's history will be useful to the draft. Otherwise the best place to cover the film right now is likely Charlie's Angels (franchise)#Charlie's_Angels_(2019) and can be split summary style from there czar 19:12, 29 July 2018 (UTC)

Just leave it for now. Thanks for being there always. --Captain Assassin! ^{«T ♦ C ♦ G»} 17:46, 30 July 2018 (UTC)

ok then. Wondering, why couldn't mine be used as the starting point, and not renamed to the current draft? Tyler de Noche (talk) 23:35, 31 August 2018 (UTC)

? Are you referring to this edit? Either way, there is a preexisting draft at Draft:Call of the Wild (2019 film) that I suggest you use. Feel free to restore text from the page's history if anything was lost in the shuffle czar 11:20, 1 September 2018 (UTC)
