Tip of the Month

[edit]

This tip is one of the many ways to combat spam on Wikipedia:

  • On Wikipedia, articles either meet the General Notability Guideline or not. When you come across a new article, it is extremely important to determine if it is a real article, or just a spam article. Start with a search on Google, for reliable sources, if you get none in return, then look at the article for non-NPOV content, also scan the references section in the article to see what sources it uses, and check the 'other languages' section and Wikidata to see if it is on other Wikipedias. If other Wikipedias have the same content and/or a CSD or AfD tag (WP:AFD) it is likely spam or not notable, so you can then nominate it for deletion to get input, remember that CSD criterion does not always apply to these articles depending on the content/contex. Also remember to check for copyright violations via earwig's

Memorials

[edit]
  • SlimVirgin has sadly passed away this month, you can read more about SlimVirgin's passing here
  • Moroboshi also sadly passed away earlier this month.
Our condolences go out to the editors and their families, thank you for your work on Wikimedia projects.

  • Got blocked on the English Wikipedia because of your epic hacking skills? Start hacking other Wikimedia projects, they ca- This user account is currently locked across all Wikimedia projects.

TheWikiWizard - February 2024

[edit]

Humour

[edit]
  • Does editing Wikipedia burn calories? If it does, does it count as exercise? ;)
  • TWW is back from being long dormant. It was a nice "Hibernation" lol.

Wiki(P/M)edia news

[edit]
  • Voting regarding the Universal Code of Conduct is taking place on Meta Wiki. More information can be found via the link
  • EN Wikipedia has a few new Administrators following their successful RFA!
  • Information on the upcoming Steward Election on Meta can be found here
  • A new feature called Reference Previews has been created. More information: here

Editor's Notes

[edit]
  • I apologise for the delay, I was not able to edit until recently.
  • I hope to have TWW published more frequently from this issue onwards. Ideally at least every 2 months. Since its near the end of the month, I decided to name this issue February.
  • We are always looking for help! If you would like to help out, please let us know!
