WikiProject New Jersey Newsletter (January 2010)

The WikiProject New Jersey Newsletter

Volume II - Issue 2	25 January 2010

Project News

Article Alerts

New Statistics Table There has been an upgrade to the WP 1.0 bot that updates our project's summary table. The new table lists all page classes including Portal-class, Redirect-class, and Disambig-class. We now have a better picture of the scope of the WikiProject and the pages that we cover.
New York Times to charge for access The New York Times is an invaluable resource for properly referencing articles, but especially due to its extensive archives and coverage of New Jersey issues. The announcement that metered content will be started in 2011 has the potential to make article sourcing much more difficult. It also causes a need to update linked sources in articles before all of the NYT links go dead. Any link can be archived on demand by using WebCite. We can help avoid dead links by archiving any article sources from the NYT.

The following articles may be in need of attention:

Featured Article/List candidates:

List of Governors of New Jersey (FLC)

Good Article nominees:

U.S. Route 30 in New Jersey

All BLP, All the Time

New WPNJ members

BLP Issue Boils Over There are discussions all over the 'pedia about deleting close to 50,000 unreferenced Biographies of Living People. We won't get into a rehash here, but let's just look at what we can do. There is a new item on the project task list for sourcing BLPs. All articles that are in both Category:People from New Jersey and Category:All unreferenced BLPs are now available on this work list. These articles need to be sourced, PRODded, or sent to AfD.

An ounce of prevention Unreferenced BLPs are one of the catgories regularly listed in the WPNJ Cleanup listing. New articles are also a prime location to find articles that do not yet have references. You can keep an eye on the New Articles list to help prevent the workload from getting any larger. Can we do more? There are bots that will automatically add the WPNJ Project Banner to all articles in our designated categories if we have consensus to request it. Join the discussion here.

Please welcome the following new members to WikiProject New Jersey:

No new WPNJ members since the last issue!

In NJ, politics means article updates

Help Wanted

New Leaders in NJ Government Over the past 2 weeks, new legislators have been sworn in, the legislature has new leadership, the 55th Governor of New Jersey has been inaugurated, and we have our first Lt. Governor. All new members of the Legislature have at least stub articles, and many of the templates have been updated.

Updating templates Many New Jersey articles utilize stadardized templates to convey information. With elections happening as often as they do in this state, January is always a good time to review these templates and update them with new information. Does your town or county have new elected officials? It's maintainance time on many of our articles on municipalities and counties as well.

Outreach Run across any new editors on New Jersey-related articles? Invite them to join WPNJ!
Ask a question, make an offer

Editor's Notes

Editor's news Must have been some winter holiday season in New Jersey, because the project talk page has been unusually quiet. I thought with all that snow, many of us would be inside and doing things here at WP. I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season and are enjoying a healthy and happy 2010!! - Jim Miller ^{See me | Touch me}

NYC Wikipedia Meetup Sunday, March 21

In the afternoon, we will hold a session dedicated to meta:Wikimedia New York City activities, review the recent Wikipedia Day NYC, plan for the next stages of projects like Wikipedia at the Library and Lights Camera Wiki, and hold salon-style group discussions on Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia projects, for example User:ScienceApologist will present on "climate change, alternative medicine, UFOs and Transcendental Meditation" (see the November meeting's minutes).

In the evening, we'll share dinner and chat at a local restaurant, and generally enjoy ourselves and kick back. And if the weather is good, we'll have a star party with the telescopes on the roof of Pupin Hall!

You can add or remove your name from the New York City Meetups invite list at Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC/Invite list.

Please

Please I need your help. I am new to Wikipedia, so I do not know how these things really work, but recently I tried to edit a page and then it was automatically undid by you. The problem is that many people have tried to change that page, however, a particular user Avala constantly brings back the wrong infromation, no matter how many times other users have tried to tell him that. The page in question is "Visa requirements for serbian citizen". Can you please tell me what I can do about this issue?

Thank you, Bojan

You are now a Reviewer

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 00:38, 16 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Pyungkang Cheil Presbyterian Church link keeps getting deleted

Hi, I would like your help on the Seoul and South Korea pages. User:Jyusin keeps deleting the link to Pyungkang Cheil Presbyterian Church on these 2 pages. Please take a look at the history pages of these articles.

I find the links helpful as it informs readers about a well-known Presbyterian church in Seoul and South Korea.

Can you help to protect this link from deletion by User:Jyusin?

Thanks and God bless!

DeLand High School alumni

Now, why would you revert my edit, when you could have taken out the "offensive" part and left the changes that were accurate and relevant? Oh, that would have required too much responsibility and "effort" I suppose. 72.189.108.185 (talk) 15:03, 11 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Taking the other side, why wouldn't you just change the content instead of inserting a comment about it and why be surprised when your edit is removed given you already have a strong opinion about this site? DMacks (talk) 15:13, 11 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That revert you did to User:76.160.115.234 was actually a warning system/talk page test for IP users, to see what they see per a discussion we were having in IRC. You actually beat the other people in IRC to the revert - and they had advanced notice. Keep up the great work! -- Crazysane (^T/_C\^D) 15:53, 2 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-Protection...

Do you want me to extend it? I semi-protected your user page for one hour while investigating whether a range block is feasible. It seems now that a range block is not possible and in any case is unnecessary. Please let me know what your thoughts are. --Nlu (talk) 16:53, 22 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
