Wikipedia is one of the most wide-reaching repositories of shared knowledge, yet a 2011 survey found that less than 10% of its contributors identify as female, suggesting an alarming absence of voices. What and how information is shared is skewed by this gender disparity. To help change this, the Jacob Lawrence Gallery is organizing a quarterly series of Edit-a-thons to improve Wikipedia's coverage of womxn artists of color.
This Saturday afternoon's gathering will focus on creating, editing, updating, and expanding pages for womxn artists from Latin America and the Caribbean. The Edit-a-thon will feature a talk by Dan Paz, Lecturer in the UW School of Art + Art History + Design, an artist, and an educator who explores the labor of digital imaging production as a collaborative site where the intersections of the image-idea and lived experience are produced and contested. Through videos, photography, and sculptural projects that query the ability of documentary processes to be manipulated—to be multiplied and replicated, stopped and started, rewound and advanced—Dan works within the impossibilities of absolute replication to question the very ability of the image to truly represent. Everyone is welcome. Access to UW WiFi will be provided for non-UW affiliated participants. All you need to bring is your laptop, power cord, and ideas. No previous Wikipedia experience required! Childcare, snacks from local businesses, and editing tutorials will be provided. Please check the Facebook event page for updates. When: Saturday, May 12th, 1-5pm |

Tuesday evening, January 15, 2019, 6-9pm at Wayward Coffeehouse, 6417 Roosevelt Way NE #104, Seattle WA 98115 Wikipedia Day celebrates the anniversary of the founding of Wikipedia. This year in Seattle, Cascadia Wikimedians' celebration of Wikipedia Day will focus on a different closely related project: Wikimedia Commons, which (among other things) functions as the media repository for Wikipedia. When you see a photo or map in Wikipedia, or hear an audio clip, etc., it usually is hosted on Wikimedia Commons and "transcluded" into Wikipedia. Wikimedia Commons is a mix of users' own works and curated third-party content, either public domain or free-licensed. Our event is a hands-on workshop in curating third-party content, mostly early 20th-century photos of Seattle and other West Coast locations. Currently, Wikimedia Commons has two intersecting sets of older photos, one from the Asahel Curtis Photo Company and the other a more general set of Seattle images. At this meetup, we will celebrate the 18th anniversary of Wikipedia by further curating these images by the creation and addition of categories, adding ImageNotes where useful, linking other versions of the same photo, enhancing the descriptions, and identifying and correcting errors. User:Jmabel has already categorized over 1000 images and corrected several hundred wrong dates, misidentified buildings, and etc., but there is much more to be done. For more information, please see Wikipedia:Meetup/Seattle#Wikipedia Day 2019 — curating images from Asahel Curtis and older Seattle photos. |

Wikipedia’s gender trouble is well-documented. In a 2011 survey, the Wikimedia Foundation found that less than 10% of its contributors were women. While the reasons for the gender gap are up for debate, the practical effect of this disparity is not: content is skewed by the lack of representation from women.
Let’s change that. To help change this, the Jacob Lawrence Gallery is continuing a series of Edit-a-thons to improve Wikipedia's coverage of womxn and gender non-binary artists of color. Childcare, snacks from local businesses, and editing tutorials will be provided. All you need to bring is your laptop, power cord, and ideas. No previous Wikipedia experience required! Everyone is welcome. Access to UW wifi will be provided for non-UW affiliated participants. Please create a Wikipedia account before the event. RSVP through this Facebook event link.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Ghislaine Maxwell, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page American (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

I noticed some of the Telegraph sources were removed from this article with an edit summary mentioning tabloid sources. While I do agree that tabloid sources should be removed or replaced where possible, the Telegraph isn't a tabloid. Celia Homeford (talk) 10:45, 5 February 2020 (UTC)
@Celia Homeford: I stand corrected. The Telegraph is a broadsheet. The basis for my assessment was the rating of “Mixed” for factual reporting using this reference guide. https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/daily-telegraph/ I try to steer clear of using sources that are rated as mixed. Some bias left or right is often unavoidable but when the facts aren’t reliable, I hesitate to use it. Cedar777 (talk) 14:12, 5 February 2020 (UTC)
The sex crime categories you are adding are diffusing categories. The articles are already in children or grandchildren categories and do not need to be added to the master. Elizium23 (talk) 07:00, 8 February 2020 (UTC)
Hello, Cedar777!
Having an article declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself!

@Cedar777: Please explain why you removed contributions by me, administrator El_C, and user Chetsford from the thread Spelling out N-word. NedFausa (talk) 04:01, 26 June 2020 (UTC)
WikiCleanerBot today removed an internal link written as an external link that you included when adding an image to Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone. The same image, which you uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, contains multiple filename extensions (.jpg.jpg). Since it is likely to confuse Wikipedia editors, I suggest you replace that file with one having only a single extension. NedFausa (talk) 14:41, 30 June 2020 (UTC)
Great job this morning in handling the reclamation of Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone in a dispassionate, encyclopedic manner. The simplicity of the lead's final sentence is quite powerful. I hope it stays that way. NedFausa (talk) 15:05, 1 July 2020 (UTC)

Hi. I wanted to explain the reversion of your obviously good-faith edit, since I understand the thinking behind your edit summary. In this case, because the sources are being cited as part of a statement about having published negative stories about Simone, rather than as sources for statements in Wikipedia's voice about Simone, they are acceptable for use. This usage also meets any attribution expectations, since we are saying "Fox News published a negative story about Simone" before sourcing a negative Fox News story. The other material from the other editor, adding in stuff about 18-year-olds and guns, has some weighty BLP issues, which is why I reverted that editor before. This version is a little better, although it required cleanup. If you want to discuss the inclusion of Post or Fox in this usage on this article, please open up a section on the talkpage so we can also solicit other opinions, and I'll be happy to discuss further.

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.
You have shown interest in articles about living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.
For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.
As the notice says, you haven't done anything to violate the DS but given the Andy Ngo topic its best to be aware. Springee (talk) 15:29, 5 October 2020 (UTC)
Please remember that slow motion edit war, such as those that happened on Andy Ngo are still edit wars and can still result in sanctions even if you are respecting the 1RR --Guerillero | Parlez Moi 02:13, 7 October 2020 (UTC)
Cedar, I know we haven't agreed much. I thought a sidebar discussion might help us find a bit of common ground. In replying to the recent RfC I think I see gap where my thinking was probably not clear to others. I was hoping that a sidebar with you might help us both clarify things. My intent isn't to pester so if you aren't interested please let me know and I'll leave you be. Thanks! Springee (talk) 18:28, 8 October 2020 (UTC)
Cedar777, I wanted to comment that I think you are doing a generally good job with the recent Ngo edits. I understand we disagree on a number of aspects but I still want to give credit where it is due. I do have one minor question regarding an edit here [[1]]. Your edit summary said you added two sources but it also appears you removed Fox News as a source. Any reason for removing the established source? The Fox News source was closer to the time of the event. Any reason not to just use both?
On a less minor point, are you OK with the resorting of the career section. I'm generally happy with it, including moving the provocateur part later in the section but I understand that what I think makes for a better article isn't always supported by all. Note, I'm generally holding off on any edits and would rather see what we can find in terms of common grounds where we can improve things. Getting the body sorted up seems like a better plan vs fighting over the lead. Springee (talk) 01:02, 19 October 2020 (UTC) Springee (talk) 01:02, 19 October 2020 (UTC)
Cedar777, I haven't done anything with the Ngo body but Bacondrum and I did talk about the lead a bit. My attitude was if I can get something that Bacondrum and I both could grudgingly accept we probably are doing OK on neutrality. Would you mind taking a look at my suggested lead here [[2]]. It's based on a copy of the current lead. You can see my changes from the current lead in this edit [[3]]. There are a few editor comments in the lead just because I wanted to get some intent across. I'm open to suggestions in those areas. I figure it's easier to work on an offline copy of the lead vs a live one and hopefully if a few of us who haven't agreed in the past can agree here updates can be made with some buy in. Thanks - Springee (talk) 02:30, 1 November 2020 (UTC)
Your recent edits here violated WP:1RR. You also used a WP:NEWSBLOG for a contentious claim, which is a problem. Please self-revert. Wikieditor19920 (talk) 02:26, 19 October 2020 (UTC)

You recently reverted the edit on Martin Nowak to repeat what AP and NYT say Harvard says, rather than what Harvard did say, which is also available online and cited in the article. Would adding a citation to Harvard in the lede, giving the material "from the horse's mouth", suffice for retaining the more accurate version rather than AP/NYT paraphrase? 73.89.25.252 (talk) 19:19, 5 January 2021 (UTC)
Hi, Cedar777. I noticed something unusual in the DS alert you recently gave a user (NedFausa). The cutoff for ds for American politics has been changed from 1932 to 1992, and if you use the template ((subst:alert|ap)), that's how it'll read now. But your alert still reads "1932". Did you copypaste an old version of the full text, or something like that, rather than use the template? You can presumably do that, as long as you change the year to 1992, but the template gets it right automatically. (You can also use Twinkle, I believe, but I'm not sure how!) Best wishes, Bishonen | tålk 20:27, 14 February 2021 (UTC).

Thanks for the links, but I have no intent of joining the community. That said, mad respect to the Wikipedia community for what they do. I decided to check out Ngo's Wikipedia article specifically because it was mentioned by Ngo in a couple media appearances. It doesn't seem like Springee is acting directly on Ngo's complaints, but it's obvious to me that the user in question is very clearly trying to censor criticism of Ngo. As a philistine to the workings of Wikipedia, it is extremely strange to see anyone entertain such a naked display of bad faith. I get why the norm is in place, but I think that alone is enough to turn me off from joining. 69.158.90.121 (talk) 06:48, 27 April 2021 (UTC)

I self reverted my revert of you immediately after making it, and my subsequent edits were not reverted by anyone, therefore no edit war occurred at all.

Regarding these edits, can you please elaborate a bit on what exactly is consistent reference formatting
? Hemantha (talk) 06:15, 26 March 2022 (UTC)
"This reference is defined in a template or other generated block, and for now can only be edited in source mode. This reference is used 4 times on this page."There is no information at all regarding author, date, url, etc..
more confusingfor visual editors to have these refs inside the mysterious template.) The only work around is to create a fresh reference and remove the old one.
Here is what it looks like when clicking on one of the inline cite numbers while editing: "This reference is defined in a template or other generated block, and for now can only be edited in source mode. This reference is used 4 times on this page." There is no information at all regarding author, date, url, etc.- was the issue? In that case, I have to request you to stop editing refs from mobiles. You ended up duplicating two references, because of limitations of an interface you are using. For the readers, there was no improvement at all; instead there is a little bit of confusion because there are duplicated refs.
little bit of confusionyou refer to is the items in the ref list (when display in source mode) with the prefix of
<! -- remarked out, yes? If you are interested in finding a way forward that does not create confusion for either visual or source editors . . . then it seems like the duplicate ref that is not displayed to readers just needs to be deleted. By the looks of the ref list viewed as source code for Alternative Medicine, there are a lot of duplicates in there clogging up the works. It looks like a fairly widspread problem.
visual editor is not going away- yes and its limitations will be fixed by the developers. There is no need for you to do unnecessary changes in the guise of "fixing something" that wasn't even broken.

You've been here for several years, but I'll just remind you of some things about fringe topics you may have forgotten. CAM topics are fringe subjects, so all mainstream skeptical POV has great due weight and must be dominant. That doesn't mean "most" quantity in an article, but that it should remain a strong presence in an article that should not be diminished in the slightest. We are a mainstream encyclopedia, so be careful with your editing on these types of articles. You appear to be deleting long-standing content, sometimes on dubious grounds.
Regarding sources, keep PARITY in mind (Wikipedia:Fringe theories#Parity of sources). Because writers in mainstream science and medicine tend to ignore fringe topics as inconsequential nonsense and concentrate their energies on writing about their own mainstream subjects and research, it is primarily scientific skeptics who serve the job of providing the criticisms that NPOV and balance require we include. Per PARITY these may be writings that aren't found in medical journals, but sometimes only found in books, magazines, and websites, such as Skeptical Inquirer and Science-Based Medicine. Don't let the word "blog" scare you. The types of blogs we are against are personal diaries and writings by unknowns. Subject matter experts are allowed. When comparing them with junk "science" and fringe views from CAM, they carry much more weight here. Because their views are usually only a small part of an article, the deletion of even one is a serious matter that tips the scales in the wrong direction, so don't do it without serious reasons, especially if it's long-standing content. Discuss it first.
BTW, Tim Minchin's quote about altmed is the best summary of the mainstream view. He's smart and has a way with words. He's an intellectual's comedian and understands the CAM topic well. Just because he's a comic doesn't diminish the quality of his succinct statement. In the political realm we have Stephen Colbert's political commentary, which, even though sarcastic and humorous, doesn't diminish the fact that he is an extremely insightful and prominent voice in American politics. We use all kinds of voices here, even comedians. -- Valjean (talk) 15:28, 26 March 2022 (UTC)
"You appear to have a ricochet bias against anything that isn't reductionist, and don't appear willing to actually look at the research that decides WHICH of the actual PRACTICES are evidence-based, and which are not."
"Comments from the survey respondents indicated that Canadian medical school faculty believe that they should provide a general conceptual overview of alternative medicine, and that it is acceptable to deal with the different therapies as a group. Understanding alternative medicine as part of patients’ health care belief systems is emphasized. When attention is given to specific therapies, it often reflects the therapies that are most popular in the province where the medical education takes place or those that are particularly important to specific segments of the population (e.g., native traditional healing in the western provinces, where aboriginal populations are larger and more visible)."[6]
Please excuse me if you and Hemantha have already discussed this above, but have you looked at Help:Footnotes#Footnotes: using a source more than once? Ref names that are purely numerical provide zero useful information, and we prefer them to have such information when any editor simply looks at the ref name.
Cedar777, I must admit I find your practice very disruptive and not an improvement in any sense. Please undo what you've done. You're destroying good refs. This is not a minor matter.
There are many ways an editor can create good references, and at User:Valjean#A basic citation template I like to use I describe a method that serves me well. It follows standard practices found in scientific liturature and other professional sources and the ref names are unique, accurate, and very informational.
Yadkard isn't perfect. Sometimes it doesn't work, possibly because of buffering issues or other matters. One must check the result before using it because it sometimes fails to produce all the information. Sometimes it gets the date wrong. Otherwise, it produces all the information normally used in a professional and scholarly reference, and that is our standard here.
To see an article where this is the only ref format used, check out the Steele dossier article. I maintain and update all references that are added so it has a consistent format with very informative refs, and that is the format to use in that article per this from Wikipedia:Citation templates: "Because templates can be contentious, editors should not add citation templates, or change an article with a consistent citation format to another, without gaining consensus; see WP:CITECONSENSUS and WP:CITEVAR." -- Valjean (talk) 16:29, 30 March 2022 (UTC)
Hemantha, I don't use Visual Editor so I can't address that. No matter what method an editor uses, the end result should produce a ref with the elements and unique and informative ref name, preferably using the type found in professional citations, shown below:
I like to choose a unique ref name, so I use the last name(s) of the standard professional format of author(s) and publication date.

You copied a sentence essentially word-for-word from the source. That's not allowed on Wikipedia. — Shibbolethink (♔ ♕) 16:14, 27 November 2022 (UTC)

The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.
If you wish to participate in the 2022 election, please review the candidates and submit your choices on the voting page. If you no longer wish to receive these messages, you may add ((NoACEMM))

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Alternative medicine. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
Points to note:
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. You are at 3 reverts in 24 hours. Tread carefully... — Shibbolethink (♔ ♕) 20:15, 26 March 2023 (UTC)
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from one or more pages into another page. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution
. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted ((copied)) template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. Bon courage (talk) 07:05, 12 April 2023 (UTC)
