Think we have old shocks back. A few times a year we have new editors saying the same thing Talk:North Korea#‎Hereditary Dictatorship take 2. Wonder if we should work on the body of the article as it seems clear thoses not fammilar with terms think its a mess. Will do a rewrite of the government section and propose it for inclusion. What we seem to have is people saying it dont see the word "Hereditary" in the body...seems clear many dont understand that absolute monarchy, dynastic or cult of personality ARE terms of art.Moxy- 14:53, 14 January 2024 (UTC)

How can I insert the Communist Party of Uruguay logo on its spanish article? Doesnt seem to let me do that just by writing its normal code. - Joaquin89uy (talk) 02:54, 18 January 2024 (UTC)

@Joaquin89uy: Usually you upload a non-free file under a fair use license using the file upload wizard, but for some reason the Spanish Wikipedia does not have that page. In fact, it is one of the only Wikipedias that does not have that page. Yue🌙 04:00, 18 January 2024 (UTC)

Your WikiCup submission: Template:Did you know nominations/East Turkestan Revolutionary Party

DYK for East Turkestan Revolutionary Party

On 30 January 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article East Turkestan Revolutionary Party, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the seven leaders of the East Turkestan Revolutionary Party had Uyghur-language code names, the initials of which spelled out the word Lëninchi, meaning "Leninist"? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/East Turkestan Revolutionary Party. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, East Turkestan Revolutionary Party), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Iroquois -> Haudenosaunee Proposal

Hi Yue, it appears that you many have initiated a proposal to shift the name for the page for the Haudenosaunee Confederacy from "Iroquois" to "Haudenosaunee" in the past couple years? Is that correct? If so, I would support you when this proposal inevitably arises once more.

Thanks! Younvrknow (talk) 20:03, 1 February 2024 (UTC)

@Younvrknow: Thank you for your message of support.
You may or may not agree with my reasoning, but: A lot of the same old crowd were quick to jump to the idea that no new arguments or evidence had been brought up, but it is clear that in recent years, most reliable sources have opted to call the Haudenosaunee by the name they call themselves and not a corruption of a French exonym. Unfortunately, I do expect future proposals by anyone else to be prematurely closed by another ignorant bunch who consider policies like WP:COMMONNAME but not within the context of present societal and statistical trends. This was not an issue with similar changes to Ukrainian names a few years back, but of course (white) settlers in the Americas still want to own the right to name Indigenous peoples like they want to own the right to steal Indigenous lands.
I think that most likely the article will be moved in the future by community consensus, but that consensus will be a long way's away, when the arguments are taken more seriously than an immediately dismissal and a series of insults directed at the proposer. Racism is on Wikipedia, and it sucks. Yue🌙 20:52, 1 February 2024 (UTC)
Thank you for the detailed response. I appreciate the background.
I think that the name used by a majority of the nations in external facing publications or official documents should be the term used by Wikipedia. I took a cursory look at the various Haudenosaunee government websites yesterday, and it appeared that the preferred term is Haudenosaunee. (The major exception was the Seneca in Cattaraugus/Allegany.) I'm sure this opinion does not align with Wikipedia policy.
It's unfortunate to find this proposal is controversial; I hope community consensus arrives sooner than later. If you or another has the spoons to raise this proposal again, don't hesitate to let me know. I will support. Younvrknow (talk) 20:41, 2 February 2024 (UTC)

WikiCup 2024 February newsletter

The 2024 WikiCup is off to a flying start, with 135 participants. This is the largest number of participants we have seen since 2017.

Our current leader is newcomer Generalissima (submissions), who has one FA on John Littlejohn (preacher) and 10 GAs and 12 DYKs mostly on New Zealand coinage and Inuit figures. Here are some more noteworthy scorers:

As a reminder, competitors may submit work for the first round until 23:59 (UTC) on 27 February, and the second round starts 1 March. Remember that only the top 64 scoring competitors will make it through to the second round; currently, competitors need at least 15 points to progress. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAN, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges (Cwmhiraeth (talk · contribs), Epicgenius (talk · contribs), and Frostly (talk · contribs)) are reachable on their talk pages.

About your closure of Wikipedia:Peer review/Hunza–Nagar Campaign/archive1

Hey Yue! Thanks for taking the time to review this article. I wanted to ask why you decided to close the discussion, as there's been very little time since the last activity on the page. You should have waited at least two weeks according to WP:PR/RP, but PRs are very often open for longer than that. Would you be able to revert your closure to give the nominator a larger window to receive comments from other editors? —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 00:11, 27 February 2024 (UTC)

@TechnoSquirrel69: My bad; I thought the window was one week. I must have misread. Yue🌙 04:31, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
No worries, and thanks for reopening it! In general, I wouldn't worry too much about closing PRs due to inactivity, especially when relatively little time has passed since the nomination. It can often take a long time for editors to come around and post comments, so to a certain extent there is value in leaving them open for a few months, and no real downside. A few editors check on the older nominations if they haven't seen any discussion in a while, and there's also a bot to take care of the very old nominations in case we don't get to them. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 04:41, 27 February 2024 (UTC)

WikiCup 2024 March newsletter

The first round of the 2024 WikiCup ended at 23:59 (UTC) on 27 February. Everyone with at least 30 points moved on to Round 2, the highest number of points required to advance to the second round since 2014. Due to a six-way tie for the 64th-place spot, 67 contestants have qualified for Round 2.

The following scorers in Round 1 all scored more than 300 points:

In this newsletter, the judges would like to pay a special tribute to Vami_IV (submissions), who unfortunately passed away this February. At the time of his death, he was the second-highest-scoring competitor. Outside the WikiCup, he had eight other featured articles, five A-class articles, eight other good articles, and two Four Awards. Vami also wrote an essay on completionism, a philosophy in which he deeply believed. If you can, please join us in honoring his memory by improving one of the articles on his to-do list.

Remember that any content promoted after 27 February but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. 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 Needed. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, feel free to review one of the nominations listed on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed.

sfn?

Hello. I appreciate you explaining specifically why a source was not needed there, as I was not aware of this policy. But Could I ask why you suggested to use a sfn in the infoboks instead of a normal reference? What sets them apart? Genabab (talk) 20:39, 16 March 2024 (UTC)

(talk page jaguar) {{sfn}} helps reduce redundancy by having footnotes all point to one instance of a given source, so that things don't get cluttered, and the article is easier to edit. Remsense诉 20:42, 16 March 2024 (UTC)
The question was less about sfn in general and more about it's use in the infobox. @Yue suggested I use it in there instead of a regular citation for specifically the infobo for the WPK page (or at least, that's how I interpreted it) Genabab (talk) 23:16, 16 March 2024 (UTC)
@Genabab: All the existing footnotes for the Workers' Party of Korea article are shortened. The template "Use shortened footnotes" was added to the article a while ago, hence its use. There is no content-specific reason that requires the Workers' Party of Korea article in particular to use sfn; it's just good practice to use sfn. Because it's already an established practice for that article, we ought to continue it. Yue🌙 00:36, 17 March 2024 (UTC)

New Pages Patrol newsletter April 2024

Hello Yue,

New Page Review queue January to March 2024

Backlog update: The October drive reduced the article backlog from 11,626 to 7,609 and the redirect backlog from 16,985 to 6,431! Congratulations to Schminnte, who led with over 2,300 points.

Following that, New Page Patrol organized another backlog drive for articles in January 2024. The January drive started with 13,650 articles and reduced the backlog to 7,430 articles. Congratulations to JTtheOG, who achieved first place with 1,340 points in this drive.

Looking at the graph, it seems like backlog drives are one of the only things keeping the backlog under control. Another backlog drive is being planned for May. Feel free to participate in the May backlog drive planning discussion.

It's worth noting that both queues are gradually increasing again and are nearing 14,034 articles and 22,540 redirects. We encourage you to keep contributing, even if it's just a single patrol per day. Your support is greatly appreciated!

2023 Awards

Onel5969 won the 2023 cup with 17,761 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 50/day. There was one Platinum Award (10,000+ reviews), 2 Gold Awards (5000+ reviews), 6 Silver (2000+), 8 Bronze (1000+), 30 Iron (360+) and 70 more for the 100+ barnstar. Hey man im josh led on redirect reviews by clearing 36,175 of them. For the full details, see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone for their efforts in reviewing!

WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers deployed the rewritten NewPagesFeed in October, and then gave the NewPagesFeed a slight visual facelift in November. This concludes most major work to Special:NewPagesFeed, and most major work by the WMF Moderator Tools team, who wrapped up their major work on PageTriage in October. The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers will continue small work on PageTriage as time permits.

Recruitment: A couple of the coordinators have been inviting editors to become reviewers, via mass-messages to their talk pages. If you know someone who you'd think would make a good reviewer, then a personal invitation to them would be great. Additionally, if there are Wikiprojects that you are active on, then you can add a post there asking participants to join NPP. Please be careful not to double invite folks that have already been invited.

Reviewing tip: Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages within their most familiar subjects can use the regularly updated NPP Browser tool.

Alex Counts

I must say that I am somewhat shocked. While I was still writing on the Talk page the reasons why this article has the value to exist, it has already been deleted, destroying the work of two hours.

Here are again the reasons for not deleting the page:

This page should not be speedily deleted because Timothy Ogden's book chapter clearly demonstrates that Counts played an important role in the development of the whole Grameen project.

My other reason for writing this bio was that while researching on social entrepreneurship, I found Counts' book on several lists, and found it most helpful.

Sorry that I did not initially include these links in the text, but I was not prepared that something like this would happen.

This in my view vastly overly speedy deletion has really shattered my trust in Wikipedia. Hannoscholtz (talk) 23:16, 27 April 2024 (UTC)

@Hannoscholtz: If you would like to recover the content of the deleted article, you may put in a request at Wikipedia:Requests for undeletion. The article Alex Counts was not tagged for deletion by me and subsequently deleted by an administrator solely because there was a lack of reliable sources. Another major reason was because the article was purely promotional; Wikipedia is not a web host for professional profiles. This isn't LinkedIn.
Again, you can still recover your work on the article through Wikipedia:Requests for undeletion and have it moved to your user spaces, but you will not be successful in drafting or publishing the article for public readership unless you completely reword and restructure the article and cite sources that are not blogs or books by other businesspeople in the same industry. Yue🌙 23:36, 27 April 2024 (UTC)
Thanks. I modeled the article on what I have seen on many other Wikipedia pages on researchers and was happy to put together a bio that for me seemed to conform to normal practice. Extracting citations from outside literature was postponed to a second step (hoping to get feedback in between), but I have learned now that it has to be first.

chocolate

Hi Yue, I saw your recent edits to chocolate, and your user page where you mention the cocoa pages you've been working through. I'm slowly working through the chocolate article to try to get it to GA, then I'm going to work through types of chocolate and then history of chocolate.

I hoped I could get your input on things I'm having trouble with. For example: I wanted to ask you about the difference between cocoa beans and cocoa seeds. You seem to be saying that they're interchangeable. But my reading is that cocoa beans refer to processed cocoa seeds (after they've been dried and fermented). Could you clarify what your thinking is?

Anyway, love your work, big fan. Rollinginhisgrave (talk) 23:34, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

@Rollinginhisgrave: Your understanding is correct, my phrasing was not. If you are working on getting the Chocolate article to GA status again, I myself will not make many edits to it as that may disrupt your efforts. Cheers. Yue🌙 23:42, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

They have conducted 357 featured content reviews, as well as 553 good article reviews and peer reviews, and have added 30 articles to featured topics and good topics.

Any content promoted after 29 August but before the start of Round 5 can be claimed during Round 5, which starts on 1 September at 00:00 (UTC). Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. If two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether for a good article, featured content, or anything else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. Remember to claim your points within 14 days of earning them, and importantly, before the deadline on 31 October.
