Hi CAPTAIN RAJU,

Thanks for pointing out that I forgot to add categories. I got that fixed.

Best,

Queens University Belfast is in Northern Ireland, so that might be a more appropriate listing. Or just hedge best with "UK" - we don't know where he was born. PamD 08:04, 31 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I saw the British in article categories.That's why I tagged England delsort.I've already changed delsort tag.I was replaced the United Kingdom in place of the England delsort tag.CAPTAIN RAJU^(T) 09:04, 31 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

British is British, but not necessarily English. You can upset a lot of Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish people this way - not to mention the Cornish! Seriously, please don't assume that all of Britain is England. It isn't. PamD 12:02, 31 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Round 4 of the WikiCup has ended and we move forward into the final round. In round 4, a total of 12 FAs, 3 FLs, 44 GAs, 3 FLs, 79 DYKs, 1 ITN and 42 GARs was achieved, with no FPs or FTs this time. Congratulations to Peacemaker67 on the Royal Yugoslav Navy Good Topic of 36 items, and the 12 featured articles achieved by Cas Liber (5), Vanamonde93 (3), Peacemaker67 (2), Adityavagarwal (1) and 12george1 (1). With a FA scoring 200 points, and bonus points available on top of this, FAs are likely to feature heavily in the final round. Meanwhile Yellow Evan, a typhoon specialist, was contributing 12 DYKs and 10 GAs, while Adityavagarwal and Freikorp topped the GAR list with 8 reviews each. As we enter the final round, we are down to eight contestants, and we would like to thank those of you who have been eliminated for the useful contributions you have made to the Cup and Wikipedia. The lowest score needed to reach round 5 was 305, and I think we can expect a highly competitive final round.

Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 4 but before the start of round 5 can be claimed in round 5. Remember too that you must claim your points within 10 days of "earning" them. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. It would be helpful if this list could be cleared of any items no longer relevant. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to reduce the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck, and let the best man (or woman) win! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

News and updates for administrators from the past month (August 2017).

Administrator changes

Nakon • Scott

Sverdrup • Thespian • Elockid • James086 • Ffirehorse • Celestianpower • Boing! said Zebedee

Guideline and policy news

• ACTRIAL, a research experiment that restricts article creation to autoconfirmed users, will begin on September 7. It will run for six months. You can learn more about the research specifics at meta:Research:Autoconfirmed article creation trial, while Wikipedia talk:Autoconfirmed article creation trial is probably the best venue for general discussion.
• Following an RfC, WP:G13 speedy deletion criterion now applies to any page in the draftspace that has not been edited in six months. There is a bot-generated report, updated daily, to help identify potentially qualifying drafts that have not been submitted through articles for creation.

Technical news

• You will now get a notification when someone tries to log in to your account and fails. If they try from a device that has logged into your account before, you will be notified after five failed attempts. You can also set in your preferences to get an email when someone logs in to your account from a new device or IP address, which may be encouraged for admins and accounts with sensitive permissions.
• Syntax highlighting is now available as a beta feature (more info). This may assist administrators and template editors when dealing with intricate syntax of high-risk templates and system messages.
• In your notification preferences, you can now block specific users from pinging you. This functionality will soon be available for Special:EmailUser as well.

Arbitration

• Applications for CheckUser and Oversight are being accepted by the Arbitration Committee until September 12. Community discussion of the candidates will begin on September 18.

Hi, mate. I use the account "PeterMan844" to edit pages, and I am always using verifiable proof or citations to improve articles, but I had to post this request with my own IP address to avoid detection from a troll who continues to follow me around online. There's this annoying loser who keeps harassing me on message boards, posting abuse, and he has now followed me here, to Wikipedia. He is vandalizing my edits regarding Sylvester Stallone being an extra in films. He is doing this for no other reason than to harass me personally, because I talked about my beef with IMDb.com elsewhere, and this person is just stalking me based on information I provide about my Internet habits.

He is using the alias "HaggisHeadS" here.

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_Sidelong_Glances_of_a_Pigeon_Kicker&action=history

Please help. This man is also sending people to my friend's house, because he got his address from a video we had on YouTube which has since been made private. He won't go away. He keeps spamming and abusing me on anxiety related forums that aren't regulated any more, but nobody signs in very often who can deal with the hassle.

All the best!

A tag has been placed on Template:Italian-short-film-stub requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section T2 of the criteria for speedy deletion.

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 removed 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.

Hello! Just a reminder, instead of creating new templates and categories for just one or two articles, please check the List of stub types, or under Category:Stub categories, to make sure that an appropriate stub tag doesn't already exist. Stub categories should not be created, unless there are at least 60 articles for a particular template, and new templates are usually unnecessary, if one already exists in the same genre. And before creating new stub categories and templates, please follow the procedures at WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals. Thanks! Fortdj33 (talk) 04:31, 5 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I understood your advice.There was not stub for my article.Stub/template was needed for the article.That's why I've created some stub/template.CAPTAIN RAJU^(T) 11:06, 5 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The point is, there is a procedure for creating stub templates. You should not arbitrarily create stub tags, just because you think they are needed for a specific article. And even if a new stub tag is necessary, you should propose an upmerged template that would feed into currently existing stub categories, until such time that there are enough stubs for a separate stub category. If you wish to propose a stub type which does not currently have 60 articles that could use it, please do so at WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals.

Thank you for adding the category, can you by any chance help me prove that this article shouldn't be deleted. Thanks Bacardi379 (talk) 16:43, 8 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for fixing the table, I couldn't figure out how. Also would you help me prove that this article shouldn't be deleted. Thanks so much Bacardi379 (talk) 16:52, 8 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Raju, hope all is well. Just dropping a note because I think it is generally a bad idea to move titles while an AfD is ongoing unless there is a pressing reason to do so like you did at David Coffey. This is mainly because if the article is recreated, it will probably be under the same title as the original AfD, so it could mess up the bot. It also has the potential to confuse AfD participants. I've moved the original AfD and cleaned the links up for now. Also, thanks for all the work you do with deletion sorting. It makes the process go a lot more smoothly :) TonyBallioni (talk) 18:22, 9 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
