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:
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. 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. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for the calculation of the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. See User:RonBot for info on how to not get these messages.

International Women's Day Wikipedia Edit-a-thon, Oregon Jewish Museum, Thursday, March 7
The Oregon Jewish Museum and Center for Holocaust Education, in partnership with social practice artist Shoshana Gugenheim and as part of the Art+Feminism Project, will host the 2nd Annual International Women's Day Wikipedia Edit-a-thon to edit and/or create Wikipedia articles for Jewish women artists. The event will be held at the museum on Thursday, March 7 from 4 to 8 pm. Pre-registration is preferred but not required. Members of the public are invited to come to the museum to learn about the editing process, its history, its impact, and how to do it. We aim to collaboratively edit/enter 18 Jewish women artists into the canon. Support will be provided by an experienced local Wikipedian who will be on site to teach and guide the process. This edit-a-thon will serve as both a public art action and a public educational program. Participants will have an opportunity to select an artist/s ahead of time or on site.
Please visit this link and the meetup page for more information. Thanks! MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 18:25, 5 March 2019 (UTC)
Still working in drafts?

I may have already brought this up with you, so if I have, I'm asking again: Why did you tell me at some point in the not-too-distant past that if I wanted to make a page for a topic you'd already made a redirect for, to just approach or ping you and ask for you to request speedy deletion for it yourself, but you don't actually approach any other editor to ask them to do so for theirs? I'm not asking this so you'll start doing it to me, but it seems like a double standard, as if this was some congenial thing you would afford other editors/you want them to let you know their intentions, but you don't seem to want to let them know you're intending to make pages for their redirects by informing them about it. Instead, you're still going the draft route (as you've done for the two Diplo EPs you just made articles for), as if you're unsure the topics you're making redirects for are even notable. You're not new, you're an editor who's been around for over a decade, like myself, and I would trust by this point you know what's notable and what's not, considering you're also including news sources and reviews on them, which are clear indications of notability. Please don't tell me the only reason is "I don't know how editors would react if asked, but I know I would if asked" because as I said, it just seemed like you want(ed) to be informed for some reason but don't actually do the same in practice. I'm not accusing you of acting in bad faith, I'm just baffled by the fact that you're still making these articles as drafts instead of in your userspace. I only recommend this to newer editors. This is exactly why I never did and still won't come to you to let you know; I'll just request it elsewhere, because your request made no sense if it's not a vice versa thing. I'll also be sure to make a little stub next time Diplo announces an EP, album or notable song, and it'd be great to see you work on that...Doubt it though. Ss112 12:52, 6 March 2019 (UTC)

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. – Muboshgu (talk) 03:19, 7 March 2019 (UTC)

Another user's problematic edits
Take a look at Theneondemon's edits. They go back far, and it's a pattern of them constantly changing the progress tables to fit their own view point. I'm not sure whether to take this to ANI yet, but it will help to have a few more eyes on it. Pinging Brocicle as well. Thanks. Nihlus 04:46, 8 March 2019 (UTC)
- If it's disruptive and there's plenty of evidence showing constantly going against the consensus I don't see why it shouldn't be taken to ANI. Brocicle (talk) 15:14, 8 March 2019 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of Lines of Color
Extended content

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article. You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles. A tag has been placed on Lines of Color requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a musical recording which does not indicate why its subject is important or significant, and where the artist's article does not exist or is eligible for deletion itself. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for music. If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Speedy deletion nomination of White Owl Social Club

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article. You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles. A tag has been placed on White Owl Social Club, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information. If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

A cup of tea for you!
And sympathy. As someone who has been hit before with a rapid-fire series of AfDs (sometimes by sometimes by sockpuppets, other times by POV editors,) I know ow overwhelming this can feel. I have learned a lot about mistakes I was making from deletion discussions, and am a more careful editor now. Don't take it too much to heart. A few deleted articles are not that big a deal. E.M.Gregory (talk) 18:38, 11 March 2019 (UTC) |
- @E.M.Gregory: Thank you, and I totally agree. Article deletions are not the end of the world to me, but I still don't think articles about notable topics should be deleted, and my biggest frustration is not being able to rescue everything at once. I've asked the nominator to slow down, and I'm trying to keep up as possible. I acknowledge some stubs may be lost, which I will just have to recreate and flesh out in the draft space. ---Another Believer (Talk) 18:45, 11 March 2019 (UTC)
Templates
Hello, and I hope all is well. With some of your newest templates of West Coast artists, there seems to be an unwritten template rule (maybe it should be written) that a template should have at least five entries. Templates like {{Buster Simpson}} are coming in under that. There are quite a few major artists who have under five possible-use entries, and they are untemplated (my favorites among the 'untemplated' include John Peter Russell and many European painters). But I am a template snob, so there's that. Randy Kryn (talk) 14:43, 12 March 2019 (UTC)
- Randy Kryn, Hey! I was not aware of a 5-article rule, but I sometimes create navboxes when I find 4 related entries, such as 3 works associated with an artist. Unless I am overlooking, I don't see a number requirement at Wikipedia:Navbox or Template:Navbox, so I'm not exactly sure. If you're asking whether or not you should create navboxes, I say be bold and create templates you think are helpful to the project. Worse case scenario is the community disagrees and the template is deleted. :) ---Another Believer (Talk) 14:53, 12 March 2019 (UTC)
- Yes, I think it's an unwritten rule sometimes used at the templates-for-deletion page, but not written into the Holey writ. I opened a category once for John Russell, thinking that there would be more pages than just his portrait of van Gogh, and was surprised upon finding it was his only painting that had a Wikipedia page. Best artist from Australia, in my opinion. Randy Kryn (talk) 16:40, 12 March 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Bit House Saloon logo.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:22, 12 March 2019 (UTC) |

WikiProject importance scale
Hello, I noticed that you have updated the importance scale of several WikiProjects. Out of curiosity, can anyone update this? What is the criteria that is used? For example, the importance scale for Pure Heroine is low even though I think it should be raised a bit higher given how many publications have cited the album as influential or a record that aided in pop music's transition to slower tempo songs and deeper lyrical content. What do you think? De88 (talk) 23:54, 17 March 2019 (UTC)
- De88, Yes, quality assessment ratings are subjective and can be manually adjusted by any editor. Wikipedia:Content assessment and Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Release Version Criteria should provide helpful information. You should know, many editors (myself included) use the Rater gadget (User:Evad37/rater, formerly User:Kephir/gadgets/rater) which automatically assesses and assumes low-importance as the default importance rating. This is because for most WikiProjects, most articles are ranked low-importance. So, the tool starts here, then the community can change quality and importance ratings as they see fit. In other words, yes, you're welcome to change the ratings. ---Another Believer (Talk) 00:10, 18 March 2019 (UTC)

Admins needed
During the situation with Tony85poon, I wondered why you're not an admin. I found User_talk:Another_Believer/Archive_24#No_mop? and I can say I was once like you, deflecting suggestions that I run for adminship, and those two points were two of my reasons for saying no. But, to those points, (a) I thought the admin nomination process would be a pain too, but it wasn't. There are a few challenging questions to answer, but they can help you reflect on your editing and what kind of admin you'd be. And (b) Mr Guye showed you that list of tools. It can get complex, but you can keep it simple too. If there's a vandal working fast and furious, you can block them. Protecting pages from vandalism, removing serious BLP violations from the edit histories, that's mostly what I use it for. If there's an admin task you don't want to involve yourself in, you don't have to! You could be the admin who blocks a stray vandal once or twice but otherwise focuses on the content. I'm still creating content about the same rate I was before. I was hesitant to take the plunge too, but I don't regret it. I doubt you would either. And we could use you as an admin around here. – Muboshgu (talk) 20:39, 22 March 2019 (UTC)
- Muboshgu, I really appreciate your kind words and trust with admin tools. I've been approached many times to become an admin, both on- and off-wiki. Every time someone asks, I say I'll give this some thought, and then I end up forgetting once I start getting back into Wikipedia's trenches. So, I'll just say now, thanks and I'll give this some consideration once again, but don't hold your breath. I do wish I had some of these helpful tools, but I fear becoming an admin will make editing feel more like a job, rather than editing as a hobby for fun. ---Another Believer (Talk) 20:44, 22 March 2019 (UTC)
- That sounds familiar to me too. I think I said "I'll think about it" in order to punt on it many times before I gave in and did it. I understand the concern about the responsibility. I had that concern too. It hasn't been a problem for me as all of the admin activities are voluntary. You don't have a "shift" where you have to be in charge of blocking vandals, protecting pages, or anything like that. You do it out of your own interest. I also think your hesitation/resistance/whatever-you-want-to-call-it is one of the signs you'd make a great admin. If you were going to abuse the power, you would've taken the plunge years ago. Take some time to think about it, but I won't let it drop that easily. :) I'll check in in a week or two. – Muboshgu (talk) 20:59, 22 March 2019 (UTC)
- For what it's worth, I second this! Chetsford (talk) 22:50, 25 March 2019 (UTC)
- Chetsford, You're kind, thank you. ---Another Believer (Talk) 23:41, 25 March 2019 (UTC)
Question about WP:NFCCP
Hi! Just want to ask your opinion on something I'd like to do in the Honey Davenport article. There's a section about the Monster Bar controversy, which was sparked by this flyer. That image itself is not licensed for reuse, but do you think it would be appropriate to add a low-resolution version of it to the article under WP:NFCCP? Armadillopteryxtalk 22:32, 23 March 2019 (UTC)
- @Armadillopteryx: Thanks for your work on the article. If I'm being honest, I don't really know the answer. Generally, the only fair use images I add to Wikipedia are album covers. Consider posting a note on the talk page? ---Another Believer (Talk) 22:45, 23 March 2019 (UTC)
- Armadillopteryx, I think the hangup will be #8: "Non-free content is used only if its presence would significantly increase readers' understanding of the article topic, and its omission would be detrimental to that understanding." ---Another Believer (Talk) 18:03, 26 March 2019 (UTC)
- Yeah, you're probably right. I'll leave it for now. Thanks! Armadillopteryxtalk 04:27, 31 March 2019 (UTC)

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for the calculation of the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized).

Hi, this all looks off topic to the subject of Dante's nightclub. It might be relevant to an article about that building, but the article is about the club itself. If you disagree that this is off topic, please be bold and add material to the article or alterantively since the article talk page is for by-god discussion of article improvements, please start a by-god substantive discussion about this material. Per WP:TPG and WP:BRD. Thanks. Note than almost three weeks have gone by since you wrote the material was parked for "future reference" but no one, including you, seems to have done anything in that time.

There is no mention of this title at Interpol (band) or Interpol discography. Can you please add it, as you created the redirects? The WP:BURDEN is therefore on you.

Thanks for uploading File:Prism Health logo.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Mother's Monument and translation in general
- Hi AB, I added a translated page template to the Mother's Monument talk page. I assume that your creation of this article is related to the discussion you started at the Village Pump about increasing translations of articles? I did a quick edit, but there is still work to be done. I'm afraid that there were tells that at least the base of the article came from Google Translate or a similar program (we see this a lot at the GOCE). For example, the phrase "the sculptures are made of quarry on an enclosure base." This seems to be the translation given by Google for "las esculturas son de cantera sobre una base de recinto" at the Spanish article. I don't know the word "cantera" (my Spanish is, at best, mediocre), but Google gives one definition as "piedra que se utiliza en la construcción" (rock used in construction), which is likely the intended meaning here instead of "quarry." There may be other mistranslations that are less obvious, though, but could misinform a reader of the article. That is one reason why I was nervous about article quality in a translation competition. It was also partially why I started my (sadly unsuccessful) wikiproject for fluent speakers of different languages to partner together to translate articles from one language to the other. I could write a lot more about my thoughts on translation on Wikipedia but I need to get to bed now. Cheers, Tdslk (talk) 06:22, 1 April 2019 (UTC)
- Tdslk, Thank you very much. My translation was not related to the Village Pump discussion -- I saw this monument during a recent visit to Mexico City, so I just wanted there to be an article at English Wikipedia like there is at Spanish Wikipedia. As for the competition discussed at Village Pump, I think ideally participants would be multilingual, not using Google Translate, for this very reason. ---Another Believer (Talk) 14:11, 1 April 2019 (UTC)

Page mover granted
Hello, Another Believer. Your account has been granted the "extendedmover" user right, either following a request for it or demonstrating familiarity with working with article names and moving pages. You are now able to rename pages without leaving behind a redirect, and move subpages when moving the parent page(s).
Please take a moment to review Wikipedia:Page mover for more information on this user right, especially the criteria for moving pages without leaving redirect. Please remember to follow post-move cleanup procedures and make link corrections where necessary, including broken double-redirects when suppressredirect
is used. This can be done using Special:WhatLinksHere. It is also very important that no one else be allowed to access your account, so you should consider taking a few moments to secure your password. As with all user rights, be aware that if abused, or used in controversial ways without consensus, your page mover status can be revoked.
Useful links:
- Wikipedia:Requested moves
- Category:Articles to be moved, for article renaming requests awaiting action.
If you do not want the page mover right anymore, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Thank you, and happy editing! Anarchyte (talk | work) 11:47, 1 April 2019 (UTC)
