Voting for Picture of the Year starts on Commons

On 1 May, the fifth annual Picture of the Year Awards at Wikimedia Commons began the first round of voting, which will last until 4 May at 11:59PM UTC. All editors with at least 200 edits before 1 January 2011 are eligible to vote.

Picture of the Year is a contest that celebrates the best content that has gone through Commons' featured picture process over the previous year. Begun by Alvesgaspar in late 2006, Picture of the Year has become a much-loved tradition throughout Wikimedia projects. In 2010, there were 784 new featured pictures, compared with 890 in 2009, and 501 in 2008.

Voters may vote for as many images as they like, and are encouraged to vote in as many of the award categories as they feel able to judge. The final round of voting will begin in the third week of May, once all of the votes from the previous round have been tallied and confirmed.

Project Internet in Sweden

As reported last month, the local Wikimedia chapter in Sweden started its ""Projekt Internet i Sverige" in March, aiming to improve Swedish Wikipedia articles about the Internet in Sweden. Funded by the Internet Infrastructure Foundation, the operator of Swedish country-code top-level domain .se, the chapter hired long-time Wikipedian Johan Jönsson (User:Julle) to work on the project from March to July 2011. On the Foundation's blog, he described his work: "I try to find articles dedicated to topics covering the Internet in Sweden. I put them on an importance scale and assess for quality". He outlined the project's goals, which include improving the content quality in this significant area, and inspiring "more people to get involved in Wikipedia and make contacts between experts in the field and Wikipedia editors". The project is believed to be the first to employ someone to specifically edit the Swedish Wikipedia, although other Wikipedias have seen such externally funded projects before (see, for example, Signpost coverage: "First state-funded Wikipedia project concludes after three years").

Russian president meets with Internet community representatives, including Wikimedia

On 29 April Russian President Dmitry Medvedev met with representatives of the Russian internet community, including Stanislav Kozlovskiy (User:Ctac) - executive director of Wikimedia Russia. (Information on the Kremlin's website: Russian, English.) According to the (partial) Russian transcript, the concept of Creative Commons licensing and Wikipedia was discussed. On the Russian Wikipedia, Ctac reported some other conversation topics, such as changes to Russian copyright law, and its lack of a freedom of panorama exemption (cf. Commons:Freedom_of_panorama#Russia).

Briefly

  • New Delhi likely site of Indian Wikimedia office: After a detailed evaluation of several cities, it has been recommended to set up the Wikimedia Foundation's "India Programs" office "in New Delhi (or the NCR / Gurgaon) region". The search for a location has been going on since around last August, and has at times received considerable public attention in India (see e.g. Signpost coverage: "India: Media speculation on country's future 'Wiki-capital'"). Other candidates included Bangalore, which is already the seat of the Indian Wikimedia chapter, and Mumbai.
    NARA hosted an event celebrating Wikipedia's tenth anniversary in January (Signpost coverage)

  • Wikipedian in Residence at US National Archives: Wikimedian Dominic McDevitt-Parks (formerly known as Dmcdevit) is to become the first Wikipedian in Residence at NARA (US National Archives and Records Administration) in Washington DC. Beginning in May, Dominic will be working with the archives to chart out a course of projects and cooperative ventures that will help make the records more publicly accessible.
  • British Wikimedia: The UK Wikimedia chapter announced the names of new board members elected at the WikiConference on April 16, and summarized results of the board's first meeting.
  • Reports by Wikimedia Germany: The German Wikimedia chapter caught up with the English-language versions of its monthly reports, noting that it is "using a new translation service": March, February and January 2011.
  • "Malayalam Loves Wikimedia" concludes: On his personal blog, Indian Wikipedian Shiju Alex summarized the results of the "Malayalam Loves Wikimedia" project, which during April contributed around 2155 free images related to the Malayalam language, and the Indian state of Kerala, aiming "to create more awareness about copyleft-licensed images, wikimedia commons, and to attract more Malayalam speaking people to the wikimedia movement".
  • Meetups: A community meet-up was held last month in Phnom Penh, Cambodia (April 30).
  • Milestones:
    • The Simple English Wikipedia reached 70,000 articles on April 25.
    • The Malagasy Wikipedia has reached 5,000 articles on April 28.
    • The Neapolitan Wikipedia reached 15,000 articles on April 29.
    • The French Wikisource has reached 60,000 text units.
  • Ombudsman commission: Philippe Beaudette, the Wikimedia Foundation's Head of Reader Relations, has announced changes to the membership of the Ombudsman Commission, prompted by the resignation of User:Herbythyme. The Commission is tasked with investigating complaints about violations of the WMF's privacy policy, in particular concerning the use of the CheckUser tool. User:Pundit, from the Polish Wikipedia, will replace Herbythyme for the rest of the one-year term, while User:Dweller, from the English Wikipedia, was added as an "alternate, who will serve as a non-voting advisor to the commission this year, and then remain on for another full term", a new concept that is expected to facilitate "knowledge transfer" to the next generation of Commission members.
  • Britannica fifth-most linked domain on Wikipedia: User:Emijrp has produced a list of "Top 1000 most linked domains from external links in English Wikipedia pages" (all namespaces), led by Google.com, toolserver.org, ncbi.nlm.nih.gov, dx.doi.org and Britannica.com. In a similar study last August (which also produced mainspace-only statistics, see Signpost coverage), toolserver.org had occupied the first place before Google.com.
  • Overview of Wikipedians in Residence: The Foundation's "GLAM fellow" Liam Wyatt (User:Witty lama) gave an overview of the various "Wikipedian in residence" projects that have sprung up around the world since his own residenceship at the British Museum initiated the concept last year.

Wikipedia users name "superinjunction celebrities"; brief news

Contribute  —  
Share this
By Wackywace and Tilman Bayer
Andrew Marr, presenter of the BBC's political programme The Andrew Marr Show, this week revealed he had taken out a superinjunction three years ago.

Editors have repeatedly added details about superinjunctions taken out by four celebrities in Britain to the stars' articles, according to reports last week. The information on the four articles has constantly been reverted and the diffs hidden for BLP reasons; the pages have either been protected or the pending changes system has been implemented. A superinjunction is a legal injunction which prevents all media from broadcasting both the allegation the person has chosen to hide, but also the fact they have taken out an injunction.

According to The Daily Telegraph, one of the celebrities (whose identities are known to The Signpost) is a high-profile actor who reportedly had an extramarital affair with a prostitute, and one is a Premier League footballer accused of having an affair with reality-show contestant, Imogen Thomas. The other two are television presenters: one allegedly had an affair, and another, according to the Daily Mail, took out a superinjunction to quash photographs described as showing him "intimate" with a woman.

While the revisions in the history of the articles have been deleted by administrators, it is evident that on one of the pages the reports of the superinjunction were added ten times by various users. The names of the four celebrities are readily available on the social networking site Twitter. The Telegraph quoted a spokesperson for Wikipedia who said that administrators will continue to remove content that violates superinjunctions. However, Wikipedia's servers are based in the US, outside the UK jurisdiction. "People have tried to sue the foundation for libellous content but it's been thrown out. Our material has to be really well referenced or it is chucked out immediately", according to the spokesperson.

The debate over the moral ethics of superinjunctions has become more intense in Britain in recent months. This week, BBC political presenter Andrew Marr revealed he had taken out a superinjuction in January 2008 to prevent the media reporting an affair he had with a national newspaper journalist. Marr came forward only after Ian Hislop, the editor of Private Eye, threatened to take legal action to expose his superinjunction; Hislop this week celebrated his disclosure of what he termed a "Kafkaesque" and "absurd" court order. David Cameron, the British prime minister, has also spoken out against superinjunctions: "The judges are creating a sort of privacy law, whereas what ought to happen in a parliamentary democracy is [that parliament] should decide how much protection do we want ... so I am a little uneasy about what is happening." Campaign group Index on Censorship welcomed Marr's confession about the superinjuction, which he has now dropped. John Kampfner, the chief executive of the organisation, said: "While there may be exceptional circumstances in which injunctions may be necessary, we are seeing gagging orders being used to hide the wealthy from embarrassment and even commercial damage. We are in danger of creating a secret network of secret rich man's justice."

In January, there was a similar case on Wikipedia after a New Zealand court had issued a name suppression order concerning a sports broadcasting journalist's short-time arrest and minor "disorderly behaviour" charge (Signpost coverage). The information was likewise reverted at first, but was eventually reinstated after the person in question self-identified.

The Physics of a WikiProject: WikiProject Physics

WikiProject news
News in brief
Submit your project's news and announcements for next week's WikiProject Report at the Signpost's WikiProject Desk.
This image of astronaut Bruce McCandless II, is a Featured Picture of WikiProject Physics
Lightning is an atmospheric discharge of electricity, a Good Article of the project
Interesting articles under WikiProject Physics include Sir Isaac Newton, who is considered the father of classical mechanics with the publication of his Principia Mathematica, which contain the famous laws of motions and the first formulation of the law of universal gravitation

This week we contemplated relativity with WikiProject Physics. The project was started in June 2005 and has grown to include 43 Featured Articles, 4 Featured Lists, and 42 Good Articles. WikiProject Physics maintains four portals covering Physics, Electromagnetism, Gravitation, and X-ray Astronomy. We interviewed Christopher Thomas and Headbomb.

What motivated you to join WikiProject Physics? What area of physics interests you most? Do you have any expertise in physics?

  • Christopher Thomas: I was first and foremost interested in writing articles about physics-related topics and improving the quality of existing articles. Working with WikiProject Physics came later. It serves as a very useful meeting ground for getting advice about how best to handle various problems that come up, and getting the attention of a pool of editors who have the expertise to address concerns with any given article.
I am at best an "armchair physicist". While I enjoy the subject and have read a fair bit about many facets of it, my formal training is with electronics and computing. As a result, I consider myself an adjunct member rather than a full member of WP:Phys, and my main function (other than cleaning up obvious problems) is to highlight problem-articles so that those with discipline-specific expertise can address them.
Particle physics, astrophysics, and cosmology are the subjects I usually follow. I have work-related expertise with optics, lasers, and semiconductor physics, but rarely end up editing those articles.
  • Headbomb: I don't think anything really motivated me to join WikiProject Physics per se. I happened to be editing several physics articles [in particular, list of baryons, circa 2008] and people mentioned the physics project to be a good place to get feedback on it. So I joined, because that seemed to make a lot of sense to be part of the physics-oriented community of editors. It's a great place to coordinate efforts on certain topics, get feedback on some particular issue, or get insights on an area which isn't your area of expertise. Experts and other editors interested in physics should definitely join the project. Likewise for chemists and WikiProject Chemistry and all the other science WikiProjects.
As for expertise, I'm currently a master's student in physics. I've got a fairly good grasp on the history of particle physics, and a pretty good background in solid-state physics and optics (both at the experimental and theoretical levels).

The project is home to 43 featured articles and 42 good articles. Have you contributed to any of these articles? Do you have any tips for editors attempting to bring a physics article up to FA or GA status?

  • Christopher Thomas: I've only tangentially contributed. I've certainly edited articles such as black hole that have been through the process, but not as part of an improvement drive.
If you want to bring an article to GA or FA status, be prepared to put in a very large amount of grunt work, and to have quite a lot of patience. The single most useful task, from my outside impression, is finding and adding references (as unsourced statements seem to be the biggest item picked on during review), but many other tasks are valuable as well. Having the persistence to shepherd an article through its long, slow, and often repeated passage through the review bureaucracy is also important.
Article improvement to GA or FA status is a noble goal, and those with the patience and persistence to accomplish it have my respect.
  • Headbomb: Yes, I worked pretty heavily on List of baryons (a featured list), and Quark (a featured article). The best tip, as Christopher Thomas mentioned above, is basically be prepared to do a lot of grunt work, and to reword every sentence 20 times before being truly happy with the end result. I've never really bothered with the Good Articles, mostly because my interests moved from a select group of articles to "large scale gnoming" assisted with AWB, bots, etc.... I do create content from time to time, but I'm pretty happy to bring it something to something that is both well-presented and decent, without going through the hassle of GAs and FAs.

Do you contribute to other science-based projects? Have there been any inter-project collaborations?

  • Christopher Thomas: There's a fair bit of crossover between the Physics, Astronomy, and Astronomical Objects projects. At least one long-term IP editor has been very helpful facilitating communication between these groups. Usually joint efforts occur when something either very new or very dubious gets added to an astrophysics or cosmology article.
This "inter-project" stuff led me to come up with the concept of Article Alerts. I was getting tired of missing proposed deletions and various other discussion concerning physics-related articles, and it was very tiresome to review every discussion process for articles that interested me. (See the original Signpost coverage of Article Alerts). Currently 700+ WikiProjects and Task Forces subscribe to the Article Alerts, so I think that's a pretty successful project.
Another example of an inter-project collaboration I've led has been Journals Cited by Wikipedia, which is basically a compilation of the various |journal= parameters of citation templates. This tremendously boosted the output of WP:Academic journals by allowing us to see which journal entry were missing, and which were important for Wikipedia (journals which we cite often should have decent articles, mostly because many readers will want to know about the journal's reliability, its history, etc...). I also compiled lists of missing journals for individual projects (Medicine, Biology, Plants...) to let them know how how their field is represented on Wikipedia. Prior to that compilation, we had some journal cited well-over 1000 times without any articles on them. Now all journals which have been cited more than 80 times on Wikipedia have an article. [Well, cited 80 times as as of last year, the compilation is pretty dated since the bot operator is inactive]. So I say that's another successful project.

Does the project have any difficulty recruiting new members? Does the technical nature of some physics-related articles limit contributions from editors without a physics background?

  • Christopher Thomas: Some background is needed, but editors don't need to be true experts in order to contribute. The most valuable trait in that regard is to know how far your expertise goes and where it ends, so that you can get others to help with editing on topics where you're out of your depth. I've certainly done that often enough (that's one of the things the WikiProject is very good for).
There's more than enough day to day cleanup work needed for the efforts of non-experts to be very useful. Alerting the project of problem articles or problem edits is also very helpful, and takes minimal expertise.
Our real problem is retaining members. My understanding is that this is endemic to most technical topics on Wikipedia, not just to WikiProject Physics. The problem is twofold. First, editors burn out. The cleanup task never ends, and contrary to the initial goals of Wikipedia, articles don't constantly improve but instead find a balance point where improvement and degradation happen at the same rate. Second, not all editors are able to function in a collaborative environment. Every year or two there's a situation that escalates to ArbCom where an editor (expert or non-expert) has a position against consensus and refuses to drop it. One of the most bitter lessons to learn around here is that there will be times when you feel the position of other editors is just plain wrong, about something important - but that you should back down anyways, for the greater good. When people don't back down, they tend to escalate their actions until they get themselves removed from Wikipedia, and may take a few others with them (due to involvement or just to burnout from dealing with the dispute). This leads to a high turnover rate among experts, in the physics project, at least.
That being said, we could be twice as many people involved and we'd still have work for everyone. In particular, some fields within physics are less well-represented on Wikipedia. I feel our optics and fluid dynamics articles are overall lacking compared to the our articles on other fields, so maybe we do need to do some targeted recruiting.

The project has its own portal. Do you contribute to the portal? What are your thoughts on the usefulness of portals?

  • Christopher Thomas: I have never used the physics portal (might have visited it once to see what it was, or might not have). My impression is that it's most useful to users who want to find physics content. I'm more concerned with maintaining the content that I'm already aware of and in a position to help with. Of course, it's possible I'm misunderstanding the purpose of the portal.
  • Headbomb: Nope, never used the physics portal; I don't really care about portals in general. I think they make a lot of sense for the smaller topics, like Portal:Lady Gaga, but when you've got something as big a topic as physics, it's very hard to maintain. So I'm pretty much sharing Christopher Thomas' viewpoint on this. Nice for others, but I'd rather spend time on the articles themselves. I think TStein is the one to is the most involved with the portal.

What are the project's most pressing needs and concerns? How can a new member help today?

  • Christopher Thomas: Cleaning up vandalism is always useful (everywhere, not just on physics pages). After that, I'd suggest watching for edits that aren't obvious vandalism but that add information that sounds like it might not be correct. At that point, start a thread on the article's talk page to ask about it, and if you don't get people responding within a few days, leave a note at WT:PHYS to bring in additional eyes.
This type of maintenance work is 90% of what WikiProject Physics does. It's pretty draining, so help spreading the load is always appreciated.
  • Headbomb: Our Article Alerts report pretty much details the "pressing matters". For the rest, it mostly involved copy-editing, finding references, etc... And of course we always need to watch out for the crank scientists trying to insert weird POVs in articles, or various quacks, pseudo-scientists, etc... and people who mean well but are just plain wrong.

Anything else you'd like to add?

  • Christopher Thomas: Remember that you're here to have fun. If you get tired of doing cleanup, take a break from it. If you want to make a really cool figure explaining Bremsstrahlung radiation or what-have-you, make one (just propose its use on the talk page, rather than swapping it in immediately, to avoid stepping on toes). Do what interests you, take a break when you need to, and you'll go a long way towards avoiding burnout. We've already lost far too many editors to that; the wiki will still be standing if you take a week off from vandalism patrol, so always take time to enjoy your editing!
  • Headbomb: Pretty much what CT said. Take a stub, expand it. Or find an important historical publication in physics and create an article on it. Or create a book on a topic, and see if there's anything missing. And hey, if you want to help, join the project, and drop on our talk page.

Next week we'll break out the board games. Until then, plan your next move in the archive.

New featured picture by User:NotFromUtrecht: the striking facade of the Curve theatre in Leicester, UK, the city's main performing arts centre. It was designed by Rafael Viñoly, a Uruguayan architect who lives in the US, and was opened in 2008. We recommend viewing at high resolution.


This week's "Features and admins" covers Sunday 24 – Saturday 30 April


New administrators

There were no new admins last week. At the time of publication there is one live RfA: Catfish Jim and the soapdish, due to finish Wednesday.

No new articles were promoted to featured status.


From the newly featured List of National Treasures of Japan (writings: others), the 10th-century document, Lotus Sutra, decorated with drawings of plants and animals


Nine lists were promoted:


One featured list was delisted:


New featured picture: Bronzino's 1545 portrait of Eleanor of Toledo
Featured picture: detailed surface structure of a rusty chain on the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco
Eight images were promoted. Medium-sized images can be viewed by clicking on "nom":


New featured sound: two New Zealand Bellbirds, painted by Walter Lawry Buller in 1888. The birds produce three distinct sounds similar to chiming bells.
New featured picture: a group of Sanderlings, circumpolar Arctic breeders and long-distance migrants, wintering across the equator down to South America, Southern Europe, Africa, and Australia. This group was photographed by User:Mbz1 at Ocean Beach, San Fransisco. The Signpost was impressed with the composition, which is why we avoided using the scroll-across panoramic function: please widen your window if necessary.


Information about new admins at the top is drawn from their user pages and RfA texts, and occasionally from what they tell us directly.

By Ncmvocalist

The Arbitration Committee opened two new cases during the week. Three cases are currently open.

Open cases

Racepacket (Week 1)

This case was opened two days ago after allegations of harassment, outing, sockpuppetry, canvassing, and disruptive editing. The case will address the behavioral concerns surrounding Racepacket (talk · contribs), the subject of this case, and is likely to review the behavior of all editors involved in the GA processes concerning netball articles. During the week, three editors submitted 12 kilobytes in on-wiki evidence.

Tree shaping (Week 1)

This case was opened four days ago after allegations of long-term COI editing on the Tree shaping article, and problematic usage of the article's talk page. During the week, four editors submitted 23 kilobytes in on-wiki evidence.

Arbitration Enforcement sanction handling (AEsh) (Week 8)

Further proposals were submitted and voting has continued during the week as to which proposals will form the final decision. More votes are likely to be made in the coming week.

Call for RTL developers, varied sign-up pages and news in brief

MediaWiki needs RTL developers

An example of an RTL interface (the Arabic Wikipedia's mainpage): a complete mirror image of that of the English Wikipedia

This week, bugmeister Mark Hershberger issued a call for more developers routinely using right-to-left (RTL) interfaces to get involved in MediaWiki ("Entries in Life" blog). The main MediaWiki interface in languages which are written right-to-left is virtually a complete mirror-image of that for all other languages (in contrast to the English Wikipedia, the sidebar is on the right, for example, and Vector's search box on the left). This can cause problems when changes are developed and tested solely on left-to-right (LTR) wikis, as is often the case at the moment.


He added, "if you're an RTL developer, let me tell you clearly: We want you!".

Account Creation Improvement Project update

On 27 April, the Wikimedia Techblog carried an update from developer Nimish Gautam about the progress of the Account Creation Improvement Project (ACIP). In particularly, the update included details on some of the technological developments that had accompanied their attempts to buck the (largely) downwards trend in the number of users registering and editing on the English Wikipedia over the past couple of months.

Among these, Gautam noted the deployment of the CustomUserSignup extension on 27 April. The extension allows the destination of the "Log in/create account" link to be varied between visitors, allowing the ACIP team to customise "the look and messaging of these screens to see what kind of impact that has on new editors" more easily than before, when the page had to be changed for all users for two days at a time. In addition to the raw statistics on how many potential editors successfully make it through the registration process, the project is also collecting data on users' activity levels after registering via a tracking cookie associated with a browser session rather than with an individual user or user account. Information collected includes:


In addition, the project has also utilised an improvement to the ClickTracking MediaWiki extension, which helps to collect anonymous information on users editing habits, to allow multiple tests to be run in parallel, rather than sequentially. As of time of writing, ACP1, ACP2 and ACP3 are identical, but this will be changed shortly.

In brief

Not all fixes may have gone live to WMF sites at the time of writing; some may not be scheduled to go live for many weeks. Those interested in the release of MediaWiki 1.17 to external sites should take note of this thread, which suggests a beta release is imminent.

  • Developer Brion Vibber blogged about a recent bugfix (involving the patch for bug #26729 going live) that he described as showing that "we’ve got a basically sane setup where issues can be pushed along from confirmation to merging to testing to deployment in a reasonably speedy fashion". In a separate post, he also detailed his plans for adding support for the OEmbed standard to MediaWiki, mainly to improve the ease with which videos hosted on Wikimedia sites can be reused. The standard would need to be expanded slightly to include licence metadata before it met Wikimedia needs, however.
  • With the resolution of bug #18682, alternative ("alt") text can now be set for images in image galleries.
  • Gerard Meijssen blogged about the limited range of fonts currently supported by MediaWiki's SVG rendering software.
  • Sweble Wikitext Parser, the latest in a line of 30 or more attempts to reimplement the MediaWiki parser, has been released, with some remaining bugs. Brion Vibber, the developer now responsible for in-house improvement of the parser, noted that Sweble "should be a good help as we migrate towards a unified canonical parser model" (identi.ca). Such a migration, given the millions of lines of existing wikitext the HTML equivalent of which would need to be accurately reproduced, has long been seen as a Herculean task (see, for example, last year's April Fool's announcement of it finally being achieved).
  • The Toolserver's copies of the JIRA (an alternative to Bugzilla) and FishEye software were successfully upgraded and the latest pre-release version of Perl (5.14.0-RC1) is available to Toolserver developers to use (toolserver-l mailing list).
  • Mark Hershberger also blogged about a new page he has written for developers about how best to go about getting their custom extensions deployed to Wikimedia sites.
  • After a false start, the EmailCapture has been enabled, allowing the email addresses of unregistered users to be provided, validated and then used to send out mailing to potential editors. It has been developed for use, at least initially, with the ArticleFeedback extension (server admin log).
  • The MediaWiki projects for this year's Google Summer of Code have been announced. Out of 25 proposals, the proposals of eight students were selected.
