Recruitment for Wikipedian Interview

Hello Laatu,

We’d like to invite you to participate in a study that aims to explore how WikiProject members coordinate activities of distributed group members to complete project goals. We are specifically seeking to talk to people who have been active in at least one WikiProject in their time in Wikipedia. Compensation will be provided to each participant in the form of a $10 Amazon gift card.

The purpose of this study is to better understanding the coordination practices of Wikipedians active within WikiProjects, and to explore the potential for tool-mediated coordination to improve those practices. Interviews will be semi-structured, and should last between 45-60 minutes. If you decide to participate, we will schedule an appointment for the online chat session. During the appointment you will be asked some basic questions about your experience interacting in WikiProjects, how that process has worked for you in the past and what ideas you might have to improve the future.

You must be over 18 years old, speak English, and you must currently be or have been at one time an active member of a WikiProject. The interview can be conducted over an audio chatting channel such as Skype or Google Hangouts, or via an instant messaging client. If you have questions about the research or are interested in participating, please contact Michael Gilbert at (206) 354-3741 or by email at mdg@uw.edu.

We cannot guarantee the confidentiality of information sent by email.

August 2016

Hello! Thank you for your recent contributions to Mackenzie Woodring. I did have one note for you. I am working on a maintenance project to clean up Category:Pages using infoboxes with thumbnail images. In the future, please do not use thumbnails when adding images to an infobox (see WP:INFOBOXIMAGE). What does this mean? Well in the infobox, when you specify the image you wish to use, instead of doing it like this: |image=[[File:SomeImage.jpg|thumb|Some image caption]], instead just supply the name of the image. So in this case you can simply do: |image=SomeImage.jpg. There will then be a separate parameter for the image caption such as |caption=Some image caption. Please note that this is a generic form message I am leaving on your page because you recently added a thumbnail to an infobox. The specific parameters for the image and caption may be different for the infobox you are using! Please consult the Template page for the infobox being used to see better documentation. Thanks!!

Your submission at Articles for creation: Benjamin Yonattan (September 17)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by SwisterTwister was:

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage about the subject in reliable sources that are independent of the subject—see the guidelines on the notability of people and the golden rule. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

The comment the reviewer left was:

I would not resubmit as there's still no independent notability and substance apart from the Got Talent appearances.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Benjamin Yonattan and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.
You can also use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

New 10,000 Challenge for Canada

Hi, Wikipedia:WikiProject Canada/The 10,000 Challenge is up and running based on Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge for the UK which has currently produced over 2300 article improvements and creations. If you'd like to see large scale quality improvements happening for Canada like The Africa Destubathon, which has produced over 1600 articles in 5 weeks, sign up on the page. The idea will be an ongoing national editathon/challenge for Canada but fuelled by a contest such as The North America Destubathon to really get articles on every province and subject mass improved. I would like some support from Canadian wikipedians here to get the Challenge off to a start with some articles to make doing a Destubathon worthwhile! Cheers. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 01:55, 22 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject Wikify: Current Backlog Reduction Plan

Hey, I noticed you marked yourself as a member of WikiProject Wikify and you are currently listed as active. I was wondering if you would be able to assist with our current backlog reduction plan. While traditional drives are more structured month-long sprints by WikiProject Wikify members, there is currently lacking activity within the project and in order to significantly reduce the incredible backlog, members are encouraged to review all articles marked with the Underlinked Template Message - {{underlinked}} - a list of which can be found here - to analyze the worthiness of the template message on the given article. Articles that have nothing to link or are have had wikilinks sufficiently added should have the template removed to clear the backlog and make it easier for editors to find articles in genuine need of wikification. This can be done by any editor; however, all editors should consider joining if they haven't done so already. Thank you!

The Novac (talk) 07:54, 12 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @The Novac:! I would be happy to contribute some time to help with the WikiProject Wikify backlog. Is there specific information available about the current drive/effort? Looking at the project page, I saw drive information from 2015 & earlier; perhaps I wasn't looking in the right place, or perhaps there isn't a formal drive/blitz structure for the 2018 plan. Either way, I will carve out a bit of time to help wikify. Laatu (talk) 17:37, 12 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your contributuions @Laatu:! You are right about our current plan for the 2018 backlog. The reason we don't have a formal monthly blitz program currently is due to the lack of active editors within the program and the difficulty of spearheading the drives alone since I currently have little/no support from an administrative side. Hopefully after a while and after I contact the members listed on the project page we can resume normal operation. The Novac (talk) 05:22, 13 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Ok! Thanks for your reply @The Novac: and I wish you success rebuilding the team. Laatu (talk) 17:44, 13 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

File copyright problem with File:DBMARTIN Facility 30th-market-1908.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:DBMARTIN Facility 30th-market-1908.jpg. However, it is currently missing information on its copyright and licensing status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can verify that it has an acceptable license status and a verifiable source. Please add this information by editing the image description page. You may refer to the image use policy to learn what files you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. The page on copyright tags may help you to find the correct tag to use for your file. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please also check any other files you may have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. -- Marchjuly (talk) 13:34, 29 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image File:WilsonMartinLogo.png

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:WilsonMartinLogo.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:40, 2 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Copy edit review of Sindoh

Nice to see you back for May's drive! Thanks for your edits to Sindoh, reducing the copy editing backlog! I've reviewed the article and made a few changes which you can see through the "View history" link on the article's page. Here are a few notes:

There was a bit of overcapitalization in the lead. makes Multi-function Printers, Fax Machines, and 3D Printers. Those are generic terms rather than proper nouns, so they don't get capitals (whereas the D in "3D" is capitalized as an acronym). Similarly in the infobox, where only the first word of the sentence fragment gets a capital, and the section headers which get sentence case.
I changed back: Seoul (South Korea) → Seoul, South Korea. Although you'll frequently see parenthesis used for disambiguation, for locations we almost always use commas.
There are a number of symbol characters which Wikipedia shuns in articles for a collection of reasons, mainly due to clarity (the symbols don't have the same meaning across the English-speaking world) and that they can be technically problematic (over edits by multiple editors, some symbols may get moved into the wikicode with unpredictable results).
- The first was a slash character in Signed a partnership with Ricoh, Japan / Produced BS-1, the first electronic copying machine in Korea. The problem is that it's unclear how the two statements are related. Did they produce the BS-1 through a collaborative effort resulting from their partnership with Ricoh? Or were these unrelated events which happened the same calendar year? I chose to simply separate them as two sentences. (MOS:SLASH)
- Further down there were three pair of curly quotes which I straightened. (MOS:CURLY)
Company names were given in italics which isn't standard practice. Wikipedia uses italics for emphasis, for certain scientific names, names of ships, titles of major works of art, foreign words (in Roman script), and when specifically mentioning words as words. (MOS:ITALIC)

I believe all of this information can be found in the main page of the MOS: (Manual of Style), Wikipedia's style guide which is used so that articles look consistent and are accessible. You can find additional resources for copy editing at the Guild's how-to page. I wouldn't expect you to know the whole MOS, but refer to it if you run into something you're unsure about. Or you can ask me or one of the other Guild coordinators. Happy editing! – Reidgreg (talk) 00:18, 11 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

INOLEX

Hello, Laatu. This is a courtesy notice that the copy edit you requested for INOLEX at the Guild of Copy Editors requests page is now complete. All feedback welcome! Cheers, Baffle☿gab 01:09, 20 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Laatu; I've done my best to remove the promotional content, waffle and buzzwords in this article but there may be some remaining so I haven't removed the {{Advert}} tag. You may remove it if you think the c/e has sufficiently dealt with the problem content; it might, however, be best to ask a neutral editor to remove it. Cheers, Baffle☿gab 01:09, 20 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Invitation to take part in a survey about medical topics on Wikipedia

Dear fellow editor,

I am Piotr Konieczny, a sociologist of new media at Hanyang University (and User:Piotrus on Wikipedia). I would like to better understand Wikipedia's volunteers who edit medical topics, many associated with the WikiProject Medicine, and known to create some of the highest quality content on Wikipedia. I hope that the lessons I can learn from you that I will present to the academic audience will benefit both the WikiProject Medicine (improving your understanding of yourself and helping to promote it and attract new volunteers) and the wider world of medical volunteering and academia. Open access copy of the resulting research will be made available at WikiProject's Medicine upon the completion of the project.

All questions are optional. The survey is divided into 4 parts: 1 - Brief description of yourself; 2 - Questions about your volunteering; 3 - Questions about WikiProject Medicine and 4 - Questions about Wikipedia's coverage of medical topics.

Please note that by filling out this questionnaire, you consent to participate in this research. The survey is anonymous and all personal details relevant to your experience will be kept private and will not be transferred to any third party.

I appreciate your support of this research and thank you in advance for taking the time to participate and share your experiences! If you have any questions at all, please feel free to contact me at my Wikipedia user page or through my email listed on the survey page (or by Wikipedia email this user function).

The survey is accessible through the LINK HERE.

Piotr Konieczny
Associate Professor
Hanyang University

Proposed deletion of Space Rogue (disambiguation)

The article Space Rogue (disambiguation) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Disambiguation page not required (WP:ONEOTHER). Primary topic article has a hatnote to the only other use.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages 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 page 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.

This bot DID NOT nominate any of your contributions for deletion; please refer to the history of each individual page for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 09:00, 19 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
