The Level, Brighton

Hi Mujinga – nice work on this. Hassocks5489 (Floreat Hova!) 16:41, 24 March 2020 (UTC)

@Hassocks5489: Thanks! And cheers for the additions. Are you still in the DYK game? I'm pondering a nomination since there's some interesting facts although the really juicy stuff (Battle of the Level, 7000 person dinner parties) would perhaps need a better source before being put forward. What do you think? Mujinga (talk) 17:40, 24 March 2020 (UTC)
Yes, there's definitely scope for some DYK action. I think I can get stronger sourcing for most/all of what is already in the article, where required (ref [4] and the My Brighton and Hove stuff would probably be queried at DYK, I suppose). I have access to numerous Brighton history books as well as both old and new versions of the Brighton Encyclopaedia. Looking at my list of future DYK hooks, I can see this one; I can't remember where I got it from, but I'm pretty sure it's in one of the "standard" Brighton history books: Did you know that when Brighton Corporation wanted to build Queens Road through two slums, they invited all the residents to a party at The Level and demolished their houses while they were away? (The slums in question were known as Durham and Petty France, IIRC.) Leave it with me and I'll do some reading around and see what I can come up with. Cheers, Hassocks5489 (Floreat Hova!) 18:35, 24 March 2020 (UTC)
Wow that's a fabulous DYK already about the slum clearance. Happy reference hunting! So far I have: DYK The defeat of Napoleon Bonaparte was marked by the Great Peace Festival of August 1814, in which a mass dinner was served at tables for 7,000 people on land in Brighton which would later become a park (with the 7000 being crucial to have referenced better than ref4/Bance) or DYK A tree next to a skate park at the Level in Brighton was covered in old shoes but had to chopped down due to Dutch elm disease in 2018 (also an odd story). Mujinga (talk) 20:51, 24 March 2020 (UTC)
I've had an initial look through my books but can't find it – typical! I'll have another look tomorrow, but if I draw a blank we can go with one of the other hooks you suggested or something similar. I can always keep that one in reserve to use for Queens Road, Brighton if I ever write that (assuming I can find where I read it, of course!). All being well, I'll add new references and nominate for DYK tomorrow. Cheers, Hassocks5489 (Floreat Hova!) 20:06, 29 March 2020 (UTC)
Ah, good luck. If not, I have found a better reference for the feeding of the 7,000 in a History of Brighthelmston or Brighton as I View it and Others Knew it by John Ackerson Erredge, the original book is on google as a free ebook. And apparently shoe trees are a thing but there doesn't seem to be a better source than argus / B&H independent for that one. So my best offer is DYK The 1814 defeat of Napoleon Bonaparte was celebrated at the Level in Brighton with a mass dinner of roast beef and plum puddings, served at tables for 7,000 people backed up by Erredge. Feel free to tweak! Mujinga (talk) 23:41, 29 March 2020 (UTC)
I've expanded about as much as I can with the help of various book sources. I've had to drop a couple of bits which were sourced to the Bance article as I couldn't find more solid sources; in particular, mention of the first reference to The Level coming in 1779 doesn't feel "right" because the old farmhouse which became the King & Queen was a lot further south, more or less at the top of Old Steine. Anyway, I will nominate a slightly tweaked version of the Napoleon hook tomorrow; something like DYK that in 1814, 7,000 Brighton residents ate plum pudding and roast beef and played kiss-in-the-ring at The Level to celebrate Napoleon's defeat? (Going for deliberately quirky wording!) (I'm surprised not to find kiss-in-the-ring under List of traditional children's games, actually!) Cheers, Hassocks5489 (Floreat Hova!) 22:44, 30 March 2020 (UTC)

Nice one Hassocks5489! For the DYK i find it slightly awkward with the plum pudding coming before the roast beef but i can see it prob reads better since there's another "ing" later on in kiss-in-the-ring. We'll see what the reviewers say, excited it's happening (it's my second DYK). Bance seems to be drawing on some of the sources that you have so i agree if there isn't a better ref for the King & Queen it's maybe better left out. Interesting to hear about winterbournes, I didn't realise it was a general term for rivers which run dry in summer, like the Kennet at Silbury Hill. Mujinga (talk) 14:15, 31 March 2020 (UTC)

 — Amakuru (talk) 00:02, 16 April 2020 (UTC)

A pretty decent 3,000-odd pageviews were achieved during its 24 hours on the Main Page. Excellent! No doubt this was helped by securing the coveted bottom position in the set of hooks, which is reserved for quirky hooks (supposedly people viewing the Main Page automatically tend to glance at the lead hook and the bottom hook first, so getting one of those positions is always a bonus). At the moment I'm sorting out a vast backlog of nearly 10,000 photos from around the city ready to upload to Commons; there are several more of The Level, so I'll add those to the category in due course. Cheers, Hassocks5489 (Floreat Hova!) 22:03, 17 April 2020 (UTC)
That's interesting about the positioning within the hookset. An unexpected benefit for me of the DYK was people effectively doing a peer review on the article. I've now nominated it as a good article. Good luck with the photo uploads! Mujinga (talk) 21:32, 20 April 2020 (UTC)

WikiCup 2020 May newsletter

The second round of the 2020 WikiCup has now finished. It was a high-scoring round and contestants needed 75 points to advance to round 3. There were some very impressive efforts in round 2, with the top ten contestants all scoring more than 500 points. A large number of the points came from the 12 featured articles and the 186 good articles achieved in total by contestants, and the 355 good article reviews they performed; the GAN backlog drive and the stay-at-home imperative during the COVID-19 pandemic may have been partially responsible for these impressive figures.

Our top scorers in round 2 were:

  • New York (state) Epicgenius, with 2333 points from one featured article, forty-five good articles, fourteen DYKs and plenty of bonus points
  • England Gog the Mild, with 1784 points from three featured articles, eight good articles, a substantial number of featured article and good article reviews and lots of bonus points
  • Botswana The Rambling Man, with 1262 points from two featured articles, eight good articles and a hundred good article reviews
  • Somerset Harrias, with 1141 points from two featured articles, three featured lists, ten good articles, nine DYKs and a substantial number of featured article and good article reviews
  • England Lee Vilenski with 869 points, Gondor Hog Farm with 801, Venezuela Kingsif with 719, Cascadia (independence movement) SounderBruce with 710, United States Dunkleosteus77 with 608 and Mexico MX with 515.

The rules for featured article reviews have been adjusted; reviews may cover three aspects of the article, content, images and sources, and contestants may receive points for each of these three types of review. Please also remember the requirement to mention the WikiCup when undertaking an FAR for which you intend to claim points. Remember also that DYKs cannot be claimed until they have appeared on the main page. As we enter the third round, any content promoted after the end of round 2 but before the start of round 3 can be claimed now, and anything you forgot to claim in round 2 cannot! Remember too, that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them. When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met.

If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anything else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

We Are Here (collective)

Hi, is there a reason why the DYK hook calls them "unhoused immigrants" instead of "homeless immigrants"? Yoninah (talk) 19:04, 7 May 2020 (UTC)

Hello Yoninah thanks for checking in, hmmm yes interesting question. All these descriptive terms are quite loaded and will no doubt receive attention when the article is on the mainpage, since they presumably reflect personal unexamined biases (and to be clear I quite enjoy this informal peer review process). For example you took "unhoused immigrants" instead of "unhoused migrants". I'm not sure why I used the term "unhoused", we could also just say "migrants" after all. I think since the group refuses the offer of Bed-Bath-Bread (Dutch: bed-bad-broodvoorziening) which is accommodation from 5 p.m. until 9 a.m., I preferred to use "unhoused" rather than "homeless". However it is true that "unhoused" is not used in the article; whilst "homeless" is used just twice, so if it's a problematic descriptor for you, maybe better just to remove it. Mujinga (talk) 21:06, 7 May 2020 (UTC)
Having just seen that the linked words have been expanded from collective to a collective of more than 200 unhoused migrants I'd say "unhoused" could certainly be removed Mujinga (talk) 21:11, 7 May 2020 (UTC)
OK, thanks. Yoninah (talk) 22:12, 7 May 2020 (UTC)

Autopatrolled granted

Hi Mujinga, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the "autopatrolled" permission to your account, as you have created numerous, valid articles. This feature will have no effect on your editing, and is simply intended to reduce the workload on new page patrollers. For more information on the autopatrolled right, see Wikipedia:Autopatrolled. However, you should consider adding relevant wikiproject talk-page templates, stub-tags and categories to new articles that you create if you aren't already in the habit of doing so, since your articles will no longer be systematically checked by other editors (User:Evad37/rater and User:SD0001/StubSorter.js are useful scripts which can help).

WikiCup 2020 July newsletter

The third round of the 2020 WikiCup has now come to an end. The 16 users who made it into the fourth round each had at least 353 points (compared to 68 in 2019). It was a highly competitive round, and a number of contestants were eliminated who would have moved on in earlier years. Our top scorers in round 3 were:

  • New York (state) Epicgenius, with one featured article, 28 good articles and 17 DYKs, amassing 1836 points
  • Botswana The Rambling Man , with 1672 points gained from four featured articles and seventeen good articles, plus reviews of a large number of FACs and GAs
  • England Gog the Mild, a first time contestant, with 1540 points, a tally built largely on 4 featured articles and related bonus points.

Between them, contestants managed 14 featured articles, 9 featured lists, 3 featured pictures, 152 good articles, 136 DYK entries, 55 ITN entries, 65 featured article candidate reviews and 221 good article reviews. Additionally, Denmark MPJ-DK added 3 items to featured topics and 44 to good topics. Over the course of the competition, contestants have completed 710 good article reviews, in comparison to 387 good articles submitted for review and promoted. These large numbers are probably linked to a GAN backlog drive in April and May, and the changed patterns of editing during the COVID-19 pandemic. As we enter the fourth round, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 3 but before the start of round 4 can be claimed in round 4. Please also remember that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them. When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met. Please also remember that all submissions must meet core Wikipedia policies, regardless of the review process.

Google tends to organise and collate resources around the new article, and you often see a book showing in Gbook, occasionally with images, or or site with images appear sometimes. I've found it takes varying amounts of time, from several months to a couple of years, but it is regular. scope_creepTalk 08:29, 3 July 2020 (UTC)
Good to know, thanks! Mujinga (talk) 09:44, 4 July 2020 (UTC)

HS2

Please keep reverting the unwarranted deletion of your entry on HS2. The editor who deleted have form on this sort of thing. 2A01:4B00:881D:3700:5903:D07:49EC:BEAE (talk) 18:19, 14 July 2020 (UTC)

Hi I'm sorry to see there are conflicts at HS2. In this case you seemed to have jumped to the wrong conclusion, since Sceptre moved something I added and made some other edits, so it's not the case that they deleted what I wrote. Maybe it's time to wipe the slate clean and to try to assume good faith again? Mujinga (talk) 20:56, 14 July 2020 (UTC)
Actually though on a fresh look myself I'm not 100% happy with Sceptre's edit. I'll take it to the talkpage, I'm aware there seems to have been a long-running dispute there and I'm only interested to improve the article, which I don't think is in a great state right now.
