Welcome to the 2019 WikiCup!
Hello and Happy New Year!
Welcome to the 2019 WikiCup, the competition begins today. If you have already joined, your submission page can be found here. If you have not yet signed up, you can add your name here and we will set up your submissions page. One important rule to remember is that only content on which you have completed significant work during 2019, and which you have nominated this year, is eligible for points in the competition, the judges will be checking! Any questions should be directed to one of the judges, or left on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup. Signups will close at the end of January, and the first round will end on 26 February; the 64 highest scorers at that time will make it to round 2. Good luck! The judges for the WikiCup are Sturmvogel 66 (talk · contribs · email), Godot13 (talk · contribs · email), Vanamonde93 (talk · contribs · email) and Cwmhiraeth (talk · contribs · email).

Administrators' newsletter – January 2019
News and updates for administrators from the past month (December 2018).

- There are a number of new or changed speedy deletion criteria, each previously part of WP:CSD#G6:
- G14 (new): Disambiguation pages that disambiguate only zero or one existing pages are now covered under the new G14 criterion (discussion). This is {{db-disambig}}; the text is unchanged and candidates may be found in Category:Candidates for speedy deletion as unnecessary disambiguation pages.
- R4 (new): Redirects in the file namespace (and no file links) that have the same name as a file or redirect at Commons are now covered under the new R4 criterion (discussion). This is {{db-redircom}}; the text is unchanged.
- G13 (expanded): Userspace drafts containing only the default Article Wizard text are now covered under G13 along with other drafts (discussion). Such blank drafts are now eligible after six months rather than one year, and taggers continue to use {{db-blankdraft}}.
- The Wikimedia Foundation now requires all interface administrators to enable two-factor authentication.
- Members of the Bot Approvals Group (BAG) are now subject to an activity requirement. After two years without any bot-related activity (e.g. operating a bot, posting on a bot-related talk page), BAG members will be retired from BAG following a one-week notice.
- Starting on December 13, the Wikimedia Foundation security team implemented new password policy and requirements. Privileged accounts (administrators, bureaucrats, checkusers, oversighters, interface administrators, bots, edit filter managers/helpers, template editors, et al.) must have a password at least 10 characters in length. All accounts must have a password:
- At least 8 characters in length
- Not in the 100,000 most popular passwords (defined by the Password Blacklist library)
- Different from their username
- User accounts not meeting these requirements will be prompted to update their password accordingly. More information is available on MediaWiki.org.
- Blocked administrators may now block the administrator that blocked them. This was done to mitigate the possibility that a compromised administrator account would block all other active administrators, complementing the removal of the ability to unblock oneself outside of self-imposed blocks. A request for comment is currently in progress to determine whether the blocking policy should be updated regarding this change.
- {{Copyvio-revdel}} now has a link to open the history with the RevDel checkboxes already filled in.
- Following the 2018 Arbitration Committee elections, the following editors have been appointed to the Arbitration Committee: AGK, Courcelles, GorillaWarfare, Joe Roe, Mkdw, SilkTork.
- Accounts continue to be compromised on a regular basis. Evidence shows this is entirely due to the accounts having the same password that was used on another website that suffered a data breach. If you have ever used your current password on any other website, you should change it immediately.
- Around 22% of admins have enabled two-factor authentication, up from 20% in June 2018. If you haven't already enabled it, please consider doing so. Regardless of whether you use 2FA, please practice appropriate account security by ensuring your password is secure and unique to Wikimedia.

Interface administrator changes
- A request for comment is currently open to reevaluate the activity requirements for administrators.
- Administrators who are blocked have the technical ability to block the administrator who blocked their own account. A recent request for comment has amended the blocking policy to clarify that this ability should only be used in exceptional circumstances, such as account compromises, where there is a clear and immediate need.
- A request for comment closed with a consensus in favor of deprecating The Sun as a permissible reference, and creating an edit filter to warn users who attempt to cite it.
- A discussion regarding an overhaul of the format and appearance of Wikipedia:Requests for page protection is in progress (permalink). The proposed changes will make it easier to create requests for those who are not using Twinkle. The workflow for administrators at this venue will largely be unchanged. Additionally, there are plans to archive requests similar to how it is done at WP:PERM, where historical records are kept so that prior requests can more easily be searched for.
- Voting in the 2019 Steward elections will begin on 08 February 2019, 14:00 (UTC) and end on 28 February 2019, 13:59 (UTC). The confirmation process of current stewards is being held in parallel. You can automatically check your eligibility to vote.

L'amour Braque
Your insistence on having this movie in the template for Dostoevsky's The Idiot is silly. Have you read the plot summaries in the articles? You could also look at the characters and themes sections. The movie addresses nothing whatsoever of the novel, in either form or substance. Zulawski's obituary writer has no expertise in Dostoevsky's novels. If he did, he certainly would not have called this movie an adaptation of The Idiot, even with qualifiers like "loose" and "wild". Harold the Sheep (talk) 04:05, 1 March 2019 (UTC)
- Harold the Sheep I restored the content based upon WP:TRUTH. If you think I have applied TRUTH incorrectly, please advise.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 13:21, 1 March 2019 (UTC)
- You have certainly applied TRUTH incorrectly, because the movie has nothing to do with the novel. As for WP:TRUTH, it is an essay, not a policy or guideline, so there is no real necessity to apply it to anything. But I don't understand: how is your restoration of the content based on this essay? Are you talking about the idea of 'verification, not truth'?
- In your original post on my talk page you said "based on the content in the articles". So can I ask once again: have you comapared the plot summaries etc in the two articles? Harold the Sheep (talk) 03:16, 2 March 2019 (UTC)
- Harold the Sheep, If sources say they are adaptations, we should summarize those sources. Then the templates should include things that have sourced content about a relationship.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 02:31, 5 March 2019 (UTC)
- There is no reliable source for Dostoevsky's The Idiot (the subject of the template) that says L'amour Braque is an adaptation of it. Nor could there ever be: the movie L'amour Braque is not in any way related to Dostoevsky's novel The Idiot. The source you have given is an obituary about the film-maker, by someone with no expertise in Dostoevsky's novel, that includes a casual reference to a "loose" and "wild" adaptation, probably as a result of reading the claim of 'inspiration' in the credits. That isn't a good way to source adaptations of, or relationships to, literary classics like The Idiot. Once again: have you actually compared the articles, particularly the plot summaries and the sourced content in The Idiot? If you did, you would see that there is no relationship of the movie to the novel and that no reliable source would ever say that there was. Harold the Sheep (talk) 03:23, 5 March 2019 (UTC)
- Harold the Sheep, WP:TRUTH could be based upon this review or maybe this.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 15:51, 5 March 2019 (UTC)
- You can probably find more pop culture references to the claim made in the credits: what you will never find is a reliable source on Dostoevsky's The Idiot that will support them. Interestingly, Diabolique Magazine does actually go into some detail about the plot of the film and the plot of the novel, and it's clear even from that superficial detail that the two are unrelated. I'm not sure why you keep ignoring my question about the Wikipedia articles, which very clearly demonstrate the non-relationship. Harold the Sheep (talk) 22:36, 5 March 2019 (UTC)
- Harold the Sheep, If you can make stable changes to the article that remove the association, you can remove the article from the template. If you suspect that the relationship between the films would be hard to remove from the articles, then you should leave the template alone.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 12:40, 7 March 2019 (UTC)
- "the relationship between the films"? You are aware, aren't you, that Dostoevsky's The Idiot is a novel? I am not interested in the article on L'amour Braque. It is a film of little significance in cinematic history, and of no significance whatsoever to Dostoevsky's novel The Idiot, which is, after all, the subject of the template. If you have popular culture sources that engage with the claim made in the credits you are welcome to keep them in the article on the film. The article on Dostoevsky's The Idiot uses sources from recognized experts in the subject, and as such makes no reference to a film that is unrelated to it. There is a detailed study of the plot, the characters, the themes and the style. L'amour Braque addresses nothing of them: its story, characters, thematic concerns and style are completely alien to those of Dostoevsky's The Idiot. This is evident in the articles themselves. But I can see, Tony the Tiger, that while you may be a huge, ferocious, multicellular organism with razor-sharp teeth and stripes, you are clearly not interested in responding to my arguments, so I think I'll drop the stick and shut the gate because the dead horse has obviously bolted. Harold the Sheep (talk) 04:00, 8 March 2019 (UTC)
- Harold the Sheep, If you can make stable changes to the article that remove the association, you can remove the article from the template. If you suspect that the relationship between the films would be hard to remove from the articles, then you should leave the template alone.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 12:40, 7 March 2019 (UTC)

WikiCup 2019 March newsletter
And so ends the first round of the competition. Everyone with a positive score moves on to Round 2. With 56 contestants qualifying, each group in Round 2 contains seven contestants, with the two leaders from each group due to qualify for Round 3 as well as the top sixteen remaining contestants.
Our top scorers in Round 1 were:
- L293D, a WikiCup newcomer, led the field with ten good articles on submarines for a total of 357 points.
- Adam Cuerden, a WikiCup veteran, came next with 274 points, mostly from eight featured pictures, restorations of artwork.
- MPJ-DK, a wrestling enthusiast, was in third place with 263 points, garnered from a featured list, five good articles, two DYKs and four GARs.
- Usernameunique came next at 243, with a featured article and a good article, both on ancient helmets.
- Squeamish Ossifrage was in joint fifth place with 224 points, mostly garnered from bringing the 1937 Fox vault fire to featured article status.
- Ed! was also on 224, with an amazing number of good article reviews (56 actually).
These contestants, like all the others, now have to start scoring points again from scratch. Between them, contestants completed reviews on 143 good articles, one hundred more than the number of good articles they claimed for, thus making a substantial dent in the review backlog. Well done all!
Remember that any content promoted after the end of Round 1 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.

- The RfC on administrator activity requirements failed to reach consensus for any proposal.
- Following discussions at the Bureaucrats' noticeboard and Wikipedia talk:Administrators, an earlier change to the restoration of adminship policy was reverted. If requested, bureaucrats will not restore administrator permissions removed due to inactivity if there have been five years without a logged administrator action; this "five year rule" does not apply to permissions removed voluntarily.
- A new tool is available to help determine if a given IP is an open proxy/VPN/webhost/compromised host.
- The Arbitration Committee announced two new OTRS queues. Both are meant solely for cases involving private information; other cases will continue to be handled at the appropriate venues (e.g., WP:COIN or WP:SPI).
- paid-en-wpwikipedia.org has been set up to receive private evidence related to abusive paid editing.
- checkuser-en-wpwikipedia.org has been set up to receive private requests for CheckUser. For instance, requests for IP block exemption for anonymous proxy editing should now be sent to this address instead of the functionaries-en list.
- The Arbitration Committee announced two new OTRS queues. Both are meant solely for cases involving private information; other cases will continue to be handled at the appropriate venues (e.g., WP:COIN or WP:SPI).
- Following the 2019 Steward Elections, the following editors have been appointed as stewards: Base, Einsbor, Jon Kolbert, Schniggendiller, and Wim b.
Proposed deletion of Bradley Henderson
The article Bradley Henderson has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
No indication this person reaches any notability guideline. Fails WP:NCOLLATH, and there is nothing here that indicates WP:GNG, nor does WP:BEFORE reveal anything better.
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. John from Idegon (talk) 17:19, 7 March 2019 (UTC)

ip address and wiki edits
I wouldn't waste my time to edit wikipedia, because every time I have, it has been reverted by someone just like yourself. So, please, go complain about edits you don't like to someone who edits or cares. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.98.222.51 (talk) 16:46, 27 March 2019 (UTC)
Suggestion
Hey, Tony. Re: Your image of Chris Young warming-up in what used to be the visitor's bullpen. As you know, the bullpens have been relocated under the bleachers. I wonder if the caption could be reworded to capture both the past and the present. Just a thought. ―Buster7 ☎ 21:48, 27 March 2019 (UTC)
- Buster7 The caption now explains that the picture depicts the pre-2017 field. It has been that way for a while. I am not sure what you are asking of me.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 04:26, 1 April 2019 (UTC)

three men in a boat
even reading your comments I am stumped why I joined in on this one - if there is a need to discuss further, I honestly feel at sea as to what happened in the first place. JarrahTree 22:17, 28 March 2019 (UTC)
- @JarrahTree, you will inevitably be stumped if you try to parse this a normal deletion review.
- Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2019 March 28#Template:Three_Men_in_a_Boat was a thoroughly bad faith exercise by Tony. At User talk:JJMC89#Sloppy_close, Tony ran through a range of bizarre rationales, before finally settling on an elaborately wikilawyered attempt to justified a daft claim that the merged template was adding lots of superfluous links. But having built his whole DRV case on "too may links", Tony then pronounced himself satisfied because more links had been added to the merged template.
- I've rarely seen someone demonstrate their own bad faith so clearly as that. I think that the extra links which Tony and/or Woodensuperman added are a welcome improvement. But by all the logic of Tony's DRV nomination, they were a serious breach of policy. He can't have it both ways.
- As Tony admitted at DRV, the whole thing was actually all about Tony's WP:OWNership.
- I have never seen such thoroughly bad faith abuse of the deletion review process. Tony's vexatious games wasted lots of the time and energy of other editors, esp of the closer JJMC89. I hope that Tony will never pull a stunt like that again. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 00:01, 31 March 2019 (UTC)

- In Special:Preferences under "Appearance" → "Advanced options", there is now an option to show a confirmation prompt when clicking on a rollback link.
- The Wikimedia Foundation's Community health initiative plans to design and build a new user reporting system to make it easier for people experiencing harassment and other forms of abuse to provide accurate information to the appropriate channel for action to be taken. Please see meta:Community health initiative/User reporting system consultation 2019 to provide your input on this idea.
- The Arbitration Committee clarified that the General 1RR prohibition for Palestine-Israel articles may only be enforced on pages with the {{ARBPIA 1RR editnotice}} edit notice.
- Two more administrator accounts were compromised. Evidence has shown that these attacks, like previous incidents, were due to reusing a password that was used on another website that suffered a data breach. If you have ever used your current password on any other website, you should change it immediately. All admins are strongly encouraged to enable two-factor authentication, please consider doing so. Please always practice appropriate account security by ensuring your password is secure and unique to Wikimedia.
- As a reminder, according to WP:NOQUORUM, administrators looking to close or relist an AfD should evaluate a nomination that has received few or no comments as if it were a proposed deletion (PROD) prior to determining whether it should be relisted.
