October thanks

story · music · places

Thank you for improving articles on October! - My story today is a cantata 300 years old, based on a hymn 200 years old when the cantata was composed, based on a psalm some thousand years old, - so said the 2015 DYK hook. I had forgotten the discussion on the talk. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:21, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Happy whatever you celebrate today, - more who died, more to come, and they made the world richer. Greetings from Madrid where I took the pic of assorted Cucurbita in 2016. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 23:09, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from CC-Berenice (15:14, 21 October 2024)

[edit]

Good evening, it is my first time here in the English Wikipedia (I normally use the Italian Wikipedia). I was reading different pages to understand how to it works here and I have some questions.

- I want to create a new page. This page has an Italian version (https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vittorio_Emanuele_Falsitta) and I want to create the English page. I will be paid to create the English version, so I read the page about COI and, if I understood correctly, I have to note the COI using a template, making a statement in the edit summary or on my user page. Since I can choose, I am going to do on my user page: is there a particular formula or sentence that I have to use or I just have to write who pays me and who commissions the work? Also, did I understood correctly or I have to disclose the COI in other pages too? Is it better I write about the COI when I save my changes too?

- Since the page I want to create is new, do I have to send you something to be approved or I create the page and then wait for a control before/after publishing? Thank you so much for your help! Berenice --CC-Berenice (talk) 15:14, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @CC-Berenice, since you are paid you should go through the articles for creation process. You should disclose your COI on every page you edit that you have a COI with. I'll leave a message with some links on your talk page that may be helpful. Eddie891 Talk Work 15:03, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Invitation to participate in a research

[edit]

Hello,

The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Wikipedia, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this anonymous survey.

You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.

The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement .

Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.

Kind Regards,

WMF Research Team

Question from LukePerry124 (20:50, 24 October 2024)

[edit]

How do you make a page about something? I am only 7 years old and on this website, and why do they make captcha "what does this text say" just nonsense words ;-; --LukePerry124 (talk) 20:50, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @LukePerry124, If you want to make a page you should first make sure it meets our notability requirements, which means that it has been the subject of substantial coverage in reliable sources, like newspapers or books. If it has, I'd recommend using the articles for creation process, which is pretty helpful, in my experience. Eddie891 Talk Work 22:46, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I don't have any ideas for pages.. can you pls give me one LukePerry124 (talk) 22:08, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@LukePerry124, a great way to get involved is just by editing existing articles that need work! I'd suggest looking at topics you are interested in. Maybe let me know and I can try to help you out? If not, WP:REQUESTED includes a list of possibly notable topics that you could take a look at. Let me know, and good luck! Eddie891 Talk Work 22:14, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

WikiCup 2024 November newsletter

[edit]

The 2024 WikiCup has come to an end, with the final round being a very tight race. Our new champion is AirshipJungleman29 (submissions), who scored 2,283 points mainly through 3 high-multiplier FAs and 3 GAs on military history topics. By a 1% margin, Airship beat out last year's champion, Delaware BeanieFan11 (submissions), who scored second with 2,264 points, mainly from an impressive 58 GAs about athletes. In third place, Generalissima (submissions) scored 1,528 points, primarily from two FAs on U.S. Librarians of Congress and 20 GAs about various historical topics. Our other finalists are: Sammi Brie (submissions) with 879 points, Canada Hey man im josh (submissions) with 533 points, BennyOnTheLoose (submissions) with 432 points, Arconning (submissions) with 244 points, and Christmas Island AryKun (submissions) with 15 points. Congratulations to our finalists and all who participated!

The final round was very productive, and contestants had 7 FAs, 9 FLs, 94 GAs, 73 FAC reviews, and 79 GAN reviews and peer reviews. Altogether, Wikipedia has benefited greatly from the activities of WikiCup competitors all through the contest. Well done everyone!

All those who reached the final will receive awards and the following special awards will be made, based on high performance in particular areas of content creation. So that the finalists do not have an undue advantage, these prizes are awarded to the competitor who scored the highest in any particular field in a single round, or in the event of a tie, to the overall leader in this field.

Next year's competition will begin on 1 January. You are invited to sign up to participate; the WikiCup is open to all Wikipedians, both novices and experienced editors, and we hope to see you all in the 2025 competition. Until then, it only remains to once again congratulate our worthy winners, and thank all participants for their involvement!

[edit]

Hi Eddie, Is writing an article about a specific theory within the ten subjects of the library having new thoughts and ideas about the subject a mode that other users joining note is possible? --Usalord (talk) 06:31, 4 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Usalord, I"m not quite sure what topic you're proposing writing about. Could you link some articles that discuss it, either on- or off-wiki? Best, Eddie891 Talk Work 16:16, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
