Your Opinion is More Important than You Think Barnstar | ||
For commenting wisely in so many AFDs that would otherwise have lacked consensus. MBisanz talk 23:19, 31 January 2013 (UTC) |
Signups are now closed; we have our final 127 contestants for this year's competition. 64 contestants will make it to the next round at the end of February, but we're already seeing strong scoring compared to previous years. Sturmvogel_66 (submissions) currently leads, with 358 points. At this stage in 2012, the leader ( Grapple X (submissions)) had 342 points, while in 2011, the leader had 228 points. We also have a large number of scorers when compared with this stage in previous years. 12george1 (submissions) was the first competitor to score this year, as he was last year, with a detailed good article review. Some other firsts:
Featured articles, portals and topics, as well as good topics, are yet to feature in the competition.
This year, the bonus points system has been reworked, with bonus points on offer for old articles prepared for did you know, and "multiplier" points reworked to become more linear. For details, please see Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring. There have been some teething problems as the bot has worked its way around the new system, but issues should mostly be ironed out- please report any problems to the WikiCup talk page. Here are some participants worthy of note with regards to the bonus points:
Also, a quick mention of The C of E (submissions), who may well have already written the oddest article of the WikiCup this year: did you know that the Fucking mayor objected to Fucking Hell on the grounds that there was no Fucking brewery? The gauntlet has been thrown down; can anyone beat it?
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. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

Anchalee Voogd was proded[1] in November 2009. The prod was up for over a month but the article was never deleted. An editor did take down[2] the prod. This can't be deleted without an AFD now, can it? The article was originally a vanity page that's been edited down....William 02:17, 1 February 2013 (UTC)
On 1 February 2013, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Fairchild BQ-3, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that the Fleetwings BQ-1, Fleetwings BQ-2 (pictured) and Fairchild BQ-3 were all planned for use by the United States Army Air Forces as remote-controlled flying bombs? You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

Thank you for warning the user who does not accept my good faith. It is -I think- the first time some admin has noticed this behaviour. However, the same user only today accused me of "bad faith" twice in a short while; here: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sarkis Torosyan. I hate to report a user for this kind of behaviour (I believe none of us are kids) but I think in this case it might be necessary to do so. I am afraid time has come for something beyond warnings for the said user. A short rest could help them relax and come back with new energy to write articles, instead of constantly breaching WP:NPA. --E4024 (talk) 01:18, 2 February 2013 (UTC)

Worse news, in searching his site, I can only find information dating back to 2007. I can try to find any old computer hard drives where information was stored; there may be a copy of old emails on an elderly EMac that I used as a desktop machine at home, but it stubbornly refuses to launch the mail program to look at past messages. This cranky machine has had problems in running older apps. FWiW Bzuk (talk) 07:02, 31 January 2013 (UTC).

CREATIVE COMMONS MAKES NO WARRANTIES REGARDING THE USE OF THIS DOCUMENT OR THE INFORMATION OR WORKS PROVIDED HEREUNDER, AND DISCLAIMS LIABILITY FOR DAMAGES RESULTING FROM THE USE OF THIS DOCUMENT OR THE INFORMATION OR WORKS PROVIDED HEREUNDER. Statement of Purpose The laws of most jurisdictions throughout the world automatically confer exclusive Copyright and Related Rights (defined below) upon the creator and subsequent owner(s) (each and all, an "owner") of an original work of authorship and/or a database (each, a "Work"). Certain owners wish to permanently relinquish those rights to a Work for the purpose of contributing to a commons of creative, cultural and scientific works ("Commons") that the public can reliably and without fear of later claims of infringement build upon, modify, incorporate in other works, reuse and redistribute as freely as possible in any form whatsoever and for any purposes, including without limitation commercial purposes. These owners may contribute to the Commons to promote the ideal of a free culture and the further production of creative, cultural and scientific works, or to gain reputation or greater distribution for their Work in part through the use and efforts of others. For these and/or other purposes and motivations, and without any expectation of additional consideration or compensation, the person associating CC0 with a Work (the "Affirmer"), to the extent that he or she is an owner of Copyright and Related Rights in the Work, voluntarily elects to apply CC0 to the Work and publicly distribute the Work under its terms, with knowledge of his or her Copyright and Related Rights in the Work and the meaning and intended legal effect of CC0 on those rights. 1. Copyright and Related Rights. A Work made available under CC0 may be protected by copyright and related or neighboring rights ("Copyright and Related Rights"). Copyright and Related Rights include, but are not limited to, the following: i. the right to reproduce, adapt, distribute, perform, display, communicate, and translate a Work; ii. moral rights retained by the original author(s) and/or performer(s); iii. publicity and privacy rights pertaining to a person's image or likeness depicted in a Work; iv. rights protecting against unfair competition in regards to a Work, subject to the limitations in paragraph 4(a), below; v. rights protecting the extraction, dissemination, use and reuse of data in a Work; vi. database rights (such as those arising under Directive 96/9/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 March 1996 on the legal protection of databases, and under any national implementation thereof, including any amended or successor version of such directive); and vii. other similar, equivalent or corresponding rights throughout the world based on applicable law or treaty, and any national implementations thereof. 2.

Affirmer makes the Waiver for the benefit of each member of the public at large and to the detriment of Affirmer's heirs and successors, fully intending that such Waiver shall not be subject to revocation, rescission, cancellation, termination, or any other legal or equitable action to disrupt the quiet enjoyment of the Work by the public as contemplated by Affirmer's express Statement of Purpose. 3. Public License Fallback. Should any part of the Waiver for any reason be judged legally invalid or ineffective under applicable law, then the Waiver shall be preserved to the maximum extent permitted taking into account Affirmer's express Statement of Purpose. In addition, to the extent the Waiver is so judged Affirmer hereby grants to each affected person a royalty-free, non transferable, non sublicensable, non exclusive, irrevocable and unconditional license to exercise Affirmer's Copyright and Related Rights in the Work (i) in all territories worldwide, (ii) for the maximum duration provided by applicable law or treaty (including future time extensions), (iii) in any current or future medium and for any number of copies, and (iv) for any purpose whatsoever, including without limitation commercial, advertising or promotional purposes (the "License"). The License shall be deemed effective as of the date CC0 was applied by Affirmer to the Work. Should any part of the License for any reason be judged legally invalid or ineffective under applicable law, such partial invalidity or ineffectiveness shall not invalidate the remainder of the License, and in such case Affirmer hereby affirms that he or she will not (i) exercise any of his or her remaining Copyright and Related Rights in the Work or (ii) assert any associated claims and causes of action with respect to the Work, in either case contrary to Affirmer's express Statement of Purpose. 4.

Per WP:DELREVD, I wanted let you know I'm planning to put up a deletion review on Dustin Jacoby, whose AfD you closed. Since then, Jacoby won the Glory World Series Light Heavyweight tournament, therefore passing WP:Kickboxing as a fighter who has won a "a national, continental, intercontinental or world championship from a major kickboxing organization." Before doing so, I was hoping you would overturn your original decision on the grounds that under WP:DRVPURPOSE "significant new information has come to light since a deletion that would justify recreating the deleted page." Thank you for your time. Luchuslu (talk) 21:05, 2 February 2013 (UTC)
Hello. I am Starship9000. I noticed that there is a article that were created by a sockpuppet of a blocked user.

Hello. While I obviously agree with the decision to close this as Delete, I felt your comment "defeated by spiral power" [3] was not helpful to the author of the article, who is clearly well-meaning but does not understand what Wikipedia is. Do you think their understanding will be improved by that comment? Deltahedron (talk) 07:35, 4 February 2013 (UTC)

Some IPs keep adding Qaher-313 to Fifth-generation jet fighter article, in spite there being no source to back up this claim, either on its main article, or in the added refs. Usually, i would usually add a {cn} tag instead of removing the aircraft, but in this case, the aircraft has a section titled Doubts of viability of aircraft in its main article - there is a doubt about it being just a model. And there are many reliable source available about the plane, but far from calling it a 5th generation, they doubt about its viability. In fact, even the official media of Iran has not called it a 5th gen aircraft. What should i do? Anir1uph | talk | contrib 13:59, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
Could you perhaps give more input on the DragoLink08 situation and the consequent rangeblock for the University of South Florida? I've just gotten a message from Hflw27, who says "I may be able to help with range configuration - I'm in the CSE department of USF and may be able to track down relevant and necessary details. I know that the 131.247.2.* and 131.247.3.0-64 blocks are regulated static IP addresses for Engineering". I'm going to leave a message on his talk page explaining that I implemented the rangeblock on others' recommendations, that I don't really know how to help, and that I'll ask others to help him; if you can help, please respond at his talk page. Please note that you're not the only one I'm asking; I'm leaving this message for five other users who commented on Drago's situation at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive783, as well as you.

I trust this was submitted while running around in circles and circling your arms above your head??? (I'm referring to the edit summary, not the content, of course). NE Ent 02:35, 13 February 2013 (UTC)
Dear Mr. Bushranger,
I don't come to you for assistance unless I consider it important, like that time a person with roll back authority, was reverting any edit that used PM/PS articles from Google Books as sources (it was really kill airplane pages for Bzuk and me). And one time I got emotionally involved on pages concerning health issues and got reverted and I was told I was wrong and came off my high horse and admitted it and apologized to the editor in question.
When I first came to WP I got in a lot of trouble, by stumbling into the rules. The only thing that kept me from being banned was the fact a few good editors assumed I did what I did in "Good faith." The problem I bring to you is an editor (I don't know if he is an adm.) who does not "Assume Good Faith.") It is over this page on AVSIG. I was contacted about it because I write articles on military issues including aircraft and on AVSIG they have an Aviation History Section. I looked it over and told them, you don't post a page and fill it in, but to do a sandbox (that is why I thought it was put up for deletion). I contacted the person putting it up for deletion in a polite manner at is talk page. Lord! I couldn't believe the angry sections. Never seen that many in my time on WP. The section where I posted my inquiry was at this page. As you can see I almost got my head taken off. Also notice in my original message I said I was leaving the original message where it was and copying it to a sandbox. And that with my help, I would gathered more info (all I do is Av History my only interest, don't and never had a pilots license) for the article it would be reviewed before posting. Then I looked at his page. Go to the bottom, and you will see he is a Wiki Fanatic who brags he is cruising to delete messages.
Finally, some how or another the manager of AVSIG got banned the same day as the article was put up for deletion for writing the article in dispute. In my opinion it is not Spam. The General People don't join AVSIG. It exist (way beyond form) for information on safety on private aircraft, pilot and aircraft safety certification, etc. Then it made history by establishing the first non-book keeper/tax forum on Compuserve (then the only game in town) so pilots could get weather and schedules, by using Compuserves phone network (internet then was defense and colleges). It is not an organization that exist as a forum, but an organization that has a forum. But either way could not Bwilins assumed good faith. I mean to tag a file for deletion and then ban that editor also -- that is the nuke option. He could have waited till the sandbox was finished and then made the judgement. But an editor who collects, deleted pages like scalps and chastises the editors is not the WP way in my opinion. Thank you for listening. - Jack E.

Dear Bushranger,
This will be my last comment on this subject and it is not to save the AVSIG page or get the banned editor's block removed, but hopefully in the future when a familiar party is involved you will remember what I say that in this case it is as the famous quote goes "There is something Rotten in Denmark." Again, sorry to bother you again so soon with this case. But the more editors say something, the more over time you see a pattern.

All 54 of Ryan's sockpuppets created articles Cavehill plane crash,Delta Air Lines Flight 821, and other numerous aviation articles. Delta Air Lines Flight 821 was created by WhiskeyHangover which needs to be proposed for deletion and Cavehill plane crash which was created by Niceguy771 and deleted by GB fan. In fact, these aviation articles were created by Ryan kirkpatricks sockpuppets. I think Newcrash and Niceguy771 are both completely newby sockpuppets and these are WP:DENY.

Hi Bushmaster, is the proposed speedy renaming of Category:Tanks of the post–Cold War period etc necessary? If by-conflict categories are being deleted/upmerged (and replaced by categories like the cats for aircraft e.g. Category:Military vehicles 1950–1959) then wouldn't interwar/postwar cats go as well?

I am completely lost on this subject. As you know, Truck Series driver Brennan Newberry made 10 starts for his dad's NTS Motorsports team in their first year of competition. The ROTY guidlines state that no driver can run more than 5-7 races while still eligible for series points in one year and can be eligible for ROTY the following season. Perfect case of this is Ryan Blaney, who made 9 starts last year, had switched to earning Truck Series points at Atlanta, and is therefore ineligible for ROTY. I resorted to contacting NTS through FB (yes, it is original research) but I honestly can't reason why Newberry is a ROTY contender despite what the rulebook says. So, I was hoping you could try and help me out with this thing. Thanks!Gaeaman787 (talk) 19:10, 21 February 2013 (UTC)

Dear friend, as a beginner, my user was blocked last year due to a conflict in editing one article. Because it didn't sound 'right' accoding to some, it was banned and claimed as a hoax. Since now I am aware of the facts, please be kind and remove the restriction for user 'cabbynet'. One year has passed ever since and I'd like to learn new skills on Wikipedia. Thank you in advance. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.5.19.27 (talk • contribs) 21:56, 23 February 2013 (UTC)

Article of the month – 2010 Emory Healthcare 500, a new Good Article
The 2010 Emory Healthcare 500 was a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series stock car race that was held on September 5, 2010 at Atlanta Motor Speedway in Hampton, Georgia. Contested over 325 laps, it was the twenty-fifth race of the 2010 Sprint Cup Series season. The race was won by Tony Stewart, for the Stewart Haas Racing team. Carl Edwards finished second, and Jimmie Johnson, who started seventh, clinched third. Pole position driver Denny Hamlin maintained his lead on the first lap to begin the race, as Ryan Newman, who started in the second position remained behind him. Afterward, Newman became the leader. On lap 128, Hamlin had an engine failure, finishing forty-third. Later in the race Tony Stewart led a race high of seventy-five laps. Stewart retained the first position on a final restart to clinch his third win at Atlanta Motor Speedway. There were eight cautions and twenty-seven lead changes among nine different drivers throughout the course of the race. It was Tony Stewart's first win of the season and the thirty-eighth of his career. The result moved him up two spots to fourth in the Drivers' Championship, 283 points behind of leader Kevin Harvick and fourteen ahead of Carl Edwards. Chevrolet maintained its lead in the Manufacturers' Championship, thirty-two ahead of Toyota and sixty-six ahead of Ford, with eleven races remaining in the season. A total of 93,200 people attended the race, while 5.516 million watched it on television.

Despite your edit notice, I don't like to revert other admins without getting the full story to make sure there isn't something I missed. Now I know I'm breaking WP:DENY and giving the attention, but I'm of the opinion that the last 3 edits of User:Mreconomist57 (a sock of CCCC) are not within the spirit of the revdel policy. Of course you could go on to say that G5 is justified under criterion RD5 (surprisingly the same number...). But if you read up from the criterion, it says "The community's decision was that RevisionDelete should not be used without prior clear consensus for "ordinary" incivility, attacks, or for claims of editorial misconduct". But also as it tagged under RD3, RD3 is for edits that make text changes that would crash the ordinary browser or links to virus attack sites etc. I don't really understand why this socks particular edits need to be hidden as we don't hide them with other socks. Furthermore, you removed the username of a user right from the contribs of a talkpage...the username itself isn't disruptive and I highly doubt could be covered under RD3 or RD5. Can I get your two cents on my view? -- DQ (ʞlɐʇ) 08:40, 26 February 2013 (UTC)

Nice article; I just checked it off for DYK. I wonder what BLP hell will be roused when someone sees Template:Did you know nominations/Stefan Matschiner. It's a balanced article, I think, in that it has the most positive thing I could find about him--he ran a heat in a European championship. Drmies (talk) 17:02, 27 February 2013 (UTC)
Round 1 is now over. The top 64 scorers have progressed to round 2, where they have been randomly split into eight pools of eight. At the end of April, the top two from each pool, as well as the 16 highest scorers from those remaining, will progress to round 3. Commiserations to those eliminated; if you're interested in still being involved in the WikiCup, able and willing reviewers will always be needed, and if you're interested in getting involved with other collaborative projects, take a look at the WikiWomen's Month discussed below.
Round 1 saw 21 competitors with over 100 points, which is fantastic; that suggests that this year's competition is going to be highly competative. Our lower scores indicate this, too: A score of 19 was required to reach round 2, which was significantly higher than the 11 points required in 2012 and 8 points required in 2011. The score needed to reach round 3 will be higher, and may depend on pool groupings. In 2011, 41 points secured a round 3 place, while in 2012, 65 was needed. Our top three scorers in round 1 were:
Other contributors of note include:
Featured topics have still played no part in this year's competition, but once again, a curious contribution has been offered by The C of E (submissions): did you know that there is a Shit Brook in Shropshire? With April Fools' Day during the next round, there will probably be a good chance of more unusual articles...
March sees the WikiWomen's History Month, a series of collaborative efforts to aid the women's history WikiProject to coincide with Women's History Month and International Women's Day. A number of WikiCup participants have already started to take part. The project has a to-do list of articles needing work on the topic of women's history. Those interested in helping out with the project can find articles in need of attention there, or, alternatively, add articles to the list. Those interested in collaborating on articles on women's history are also welcome to use the WikiCup talk page to find others willing to lend a helping hand. Another collaboration currently running is an an effort from WikiCup participants to coordinate a number of Easter-themed did you know articles. Contributions are welcome!
A few final administrative issues. From now on, submission pages will need only a link to the article and a link to the nomination page, or, in the case of good article reviews, a link to the review only. See your submissions' page for details. This will hopefully make updating submission pages a little less tedious. 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. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

Star767 (talk) 18:17, 3 March 2013 (UTC)
Hi, you recently moved a couple of class article pages (specifically Albacore-class gunboat (1855) and Bramble class gunboat (1886)) because there are no other classes of this name. True, there aren't other articles at the moment, but there were other classes so named. An 1883 class of Albacores and an 1898 class of Brambles. Both gunboats. There's a similar situation with some other ships, there were three lots of Amazon-class frigates (four if you include the Type 21s). Given the example of King George V-class battleship (1939) and King George V-class battleship (1911) and the guidelines at WP:NC-SHIPS I would think this distinction needs to be retained, much as we pre-emptively disambiguate the individual ships if we know there are others that would make it eventually necessary.
