DYK for Fly Kingfisher Fair Play Award

PanydThe muffin is not subtle 00:03, 10 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of 2012 Luke Pomersbach molesting charges

The article 2012 Luke Pomersbach molesting charges has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Searching for this title will find the players page regardless. Coverage of the case falls under WP:ROUTINE and WP:NOT#NEWS. No ongoing legal precedents or rulings - it was settled prior to trial. No enduring notability.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles 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 article 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.

I am confused.

I see there the Armed forces act (BTW, in July 1990 Indian Armed Forces were given special powers) is mentioned in the article Human rights abuses in Jammu and Kashmir before 1989 insurgency (that spurred ethnic cleansing of Hindus and Sikhs and in turn resulted in the controversial act being extended in that region), why is it so???

GOCE mid-drive newsletter

Guild of Copy Editors September 2012 backlog elimination drive mid-drive newsletter
  • Participation: Out of 37 people signed up for this drive so far, 19 have copy-edited at least one article, about the same as the last drive. If you've signed up but haven't yet copy-edited any articles, every bit helps; if you haven't signed up yet, it's not too late. Join us!
  • Progress report: We're almost on track to meet our targets for the drive. Great work, guys. We have reduced our target group of articles—August, September, and October 2011—by about 44%, and the overall backlog has been reduced by 58 articles so far, to around 2600 articles. The biggest difference between this drive and the previous one is a stronger focus on large articles, so total word counts are still comparable.
  • Don't forget about the Copy Edit of the Month contests! Voting for the August contest has been extended through the end of the month. You don't have to make a submission to vote!

Adopt-a-user

Hi Vibhijain. I'm leaving you this message because you have previously been involved as an adopter with Wikipedia's Adopt-a-user program. A clean-up of this program is currently underway, and as part of the process I am trying to find out who is and isn't still interested in remaining an adopter.

If you would prefer not to be part of the adoption program anymore, you need do nothing; when the overhaul of the project is completed your name will be removed from the list of active adopters. However, if you have current adoptees, an active adoption school or an interest in adopting in the near future, then please let us know by signing here.

If you want to remain in the project and can currently take on more adoptees, there is a serious backlog at Category:Wikipedians seeking to be adopted in Adopt-a-user; it would be enormously helpful if you could take on one or two of the users there. Please do keep an eye on the project for upcoming changes, we could use your opinions and your help! Yunshui 雲‍水 09:25, 19 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Articles for Creation urgently needs your help!

Articles for Creation is desperately short of reviewers! We are looking for urgent help, from experienced editors, in reviewing submissions in the pending submissions queue. Currently there are 1229 submissions waiting to be reviewed and many help requests at our Help Desk.

Do you have what it takes?
  1. Are you familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines?
  2. Do you know what Wikipedia is and is not?
  3. Do you have a working knowledge of the Manual of Style, particularly article naming conventions?
  4. Can you review submissions based on their individual merits?

If the answer to these questions is yes, then please read the reviewing instructions and donate a little of your time to helping tackle the backlog. You might wish to add {{AFC status}} or {{AfC Defcon}} to your userpage, which will alert you to the number of open submissions.

PS: we have a great AFC helper script at WP:AFCH!

CVUA

Hi Vibhijain. I'm leaving you this message because you have previously been involved with Counter-Vandalism, and may still be. The Academy project has been restructured, placing responsibility for it on the trainers themselves and as part of the process I am trying to find out who is still interested in remaining as active trainers.

In future, there will be no clerking or coordination, so If you are still active and can respond to requests from students within around 48 hours, you need do nothing until a new student contacts you on your talk page. Nevertheless, if your status changes, please update your entry on the table of active trainers at the new WP:CVUA page. If you no longer have sufficient time to commit to the CV training project, that's fine, but please remove your name from the active list. While on your travels however, should you come across users who are having a hard time with their reverts, don't hesitate to send them a link to the CVUA. Thanks, and happy editing!

WikiCup 2012 September newsletter

We're over half way through the final, and so it is less than a month until we know for certain our 2012 WikiCup champion. Conradh na Gaeilge Grapple X (submissions) currently leads, followed by Canada Sasata (submissions), Wales Cwmhiraeth (submissions) and Scotland Casliber (submissions). However, we have no one resembling a breakaway leader, and so the competition is a long way from over. Next month's newsletter will feature a list of our winners (who are not necessarily only the finalists) and keep your eyes open for an article on the WikiCup in a future edition of The Signpost. The leaders are already on a par with last year's winners, but a long way from the huge scores seen in 2010. That said, a repeat of the competition from 2010 seems unlikely.

It is good to see that three-quarters of our finalists have already scored bonus points this round. This shows that, contrary to criticism that the WikiCup has received in the past, the competition does not merely incentivise the writing of trivial articles; instead, our top competitors are still spending their time contributing to high-importance articles, and bringing them to a high standard. This does a great service to the encyclopedia and its readers. Thank you, and good work!

The planning for next year's WikiCup is ongoing. Some straw polls have been opened concerning the scoring, and you can now sign up for next year's competition. As ever, if you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

GOCE September 2012 drive wrap-up

Guild of Copy Editors September 2012 backlog elimination drive wrap-up

Participation: Out of 41 people who signed up this drive, 28 copy-edited at least one article. Thanks to all who participated! Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here.

Progress report: We achieved our primary goal of clearing July, August, September and October 2011 from the backlog. This means that, for the first time since the drives began, the backlog is less than a year. At least 677 tagged articles were copy edited, although 365 new ones were added during the month. The total backlog at the end of the month was 2341 articles, down from 8323 when we started out over two years ago. We completed all 54 requests outstanding before September 2012 as well as eight of those made in September.

Copy Edit of the Month: Voting is now over for the August 2012 competition, and prizes will be issued soon. The September 2012 contest is closed for submissions and open for voting. The October 2012 contest is now open for submissions. Everyone is welcome to submit entries and to vote.

Regarding IPL players importance

Hi. You marked Rahul Dravid as low importance on WP IPL project. I don't get it. If a designated 'icon player' and a captain of two different IPL sides don't deserve a high importance, then who does? Anyways, if it's general practice at WP IPL to rate players as low importance, then you might wanna take a look at other pages too. Like that of Suresh Raina and Sachin Tendulkar who are rated mid and high importance respectively. Hope you make necessary changes there too. Skagrawal4k (talk) 16:46, 6 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

See, WP IPL is basically a project to focus on IPL specific articles, and WP Cricket exists for improving players' articles. I somehow what agree with you, and that is why I have always advocated articles about the IPL performance of individual notable cricketers (like Rahul Dravid in Indian Premier League, but this is somewhat many consider as inappropriate. Do remember that WP IPL is a very small project and we guys have to consistent work in order to main its activeness. We have to keep it a little different from WP Cricket so that later it can stand on its own.

Rahul Dravid

Hi Vaibhav. I'm working at it now. I'll give you some notes here as and when I find things.

  • You changed "one of the greatest batsmen in cricketing history" into "one of the greatest batsmen in the cricketing history". This is actually incorrect. It's either "in cricketing history" of "in the history of cricket". The latter is preferable because it's a bit more formal, and it supports a good wikilink. --Stfg (talk) 15:05, 10 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'd like to offer some advice about style, if you don't mind, and then perhaps you'd like to continue yourself or make a GOCE request. The most important thing I noticed is that, at present, your writing comes across as quite wordy and elaborate. I suspect that this may be partly because many of your sources are newspaper articles and quite popular web sites like crikinfo, where the writing style is chosen to have a certain effect. Examples of the problem are:

  • simple verbosity: for example, we don't need "he managed to score 84"; just "he scored 84" says it;
  • colloquial hand-waving style: for example, "cross the 10,000 run mark"; simply "exceed 10,000 runs" is far better;
  • stating the obvious: examples are all the places where I deleted "later" and "subsequently" because we already know that July follows June and suchlike;
  • dramatizing the situation: newspapers can write "He scored eleven fifties, but was unable to convert those to centuries", but to be objective, it's enough to say "He scored eleven fifties but no centuries".

The best way to pick up a good encyclopedic style is to read a few articles on subjects that are not much covered in newspapers and popular or promotional websites. I'll keep you watchlisted for a couple of days in case you have questions. Good luck. --Stfg (talk) 19:07, 10 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
