Wikiproject Military history coordinator election nominations open
Nominations for the upcoming project coordinator election are now open. A team of up to ten coordinators will be elected for the next year. The project coordinators are the designated points of contact for issues concerning the project, and are responsible for maintaining our internal structure and processes. They do not, however, have any authority over article content or editor conduct, or any other special powers. More information on being a coordinator is available here. If you are interested in running, please sign up here by 23:59 UTC on 14 September! Voting doesn't commence until 15 September. If you have any questions, you can contact any member of the coord team. Cheers, Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 02:37, 1 September 2019 (UTC)

Nope
Nope. If an admin or arb insists on doing so then probably I can't stop them. But you, seemingly a mere minion? Sandstein was gravedancing with their "thanks" remark and I responded to that with a question. I thank you never to refactor any of my comments in future. - Sitush (talk) 01:13, 3 September 2019 (UTC)

Google Code-In 2019 is coming - please mentor some documentation tasks!
Hello,

Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at the English Wikipedia.

I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org, so we can invite you in!

From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.

If you have any questions, please let us know at google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org.

Thank you!

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Lockheed F-104 Starfighter you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days.

President
As the consensus claimed in entirely false, I feel your revert is in error. Nonetheless, I will take it to the talk page to end the absurdity of treating the office of President of the United States as if it's a person. Slywriter (talk) 23:32, 31 December 2019 (UTC)

Welcome to the 2020 WikiCup!
Happy New Year, Happy New Decade and Happy New WikiCup! The competition has begun and all article creators, expanders and improvers are welcome to take part. If you have already signed up, your submissions page can be found here. If you have not yet signed up, you can add your name here and the judges will set up your submissions page. We are relaxing the rule that only content on which you have completed significant work during 2020 will count; now to be eligible for points in the competition, you must have completed significant work on the content at some time! Any questions on the rules or on anything else connected to the Cup should be directed to one of the judges, or posted to the WikiCup talk page. 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 move on to round 2. Good luck!

Your GA nomination of Lockheed F-104 Starfighter
The article Lockheed F-104 Starfighter you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold. The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needing to be addressed. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass; otherwise it may fail. See Talk:Lockheed F-104 Starfighter for issues which need to be addressed.

 * Greetings, and thank you for your patience. As you may have seen, I think I'm down to one remaining reference needed, and that will require a trip to the library tomorrow. I'll let you know as soon as I've gotten everything taken care of. I don't see any other issues listed on the review page yet: are the references the only thing you feel the article needs to pass, or is that just what is necessary to re-start the review process? I wasn't quite sure if the statement if these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass was actually the case or just what the boilerplate says when a review goes on hold. Thank you very much!  C Thomas3   (talk) 20:45, 10 January 2020 (UTC)

Gondor
I have decided to try to get the article on Gondor down to a reasonable size. However I have reached the point where even the most minor of changes I make are revered. This is very frustrating to me. The blanket reverting does not seem to me to be a way to actually improve the article. I had thought trying to discuss the issue on the talk page would help, but there is really only one other person who has showed any notice to the talk page. I am trying to see if I can generate a little more participation there. I saw you had commented on Haleth, so I was wondering if you would like to participate there as well.John Pack Lambert (talk) 21:11, 24 January 2020 (UTC)

WikiCup 2020 March newsletter
And so ends the first round of the competition. Everyone with a positive score moves on to Round 2, with 57 contestants qualifying. We have abolished the groups this year, so to qualify for Round 3 you will need to finish Round 2 among the top thirty-two contestants.

Our top scorers in Round 1 were:


 * Epicgenius, a WikiCup newcomer, led the field with a featured article, five good articles and an assortment of other submissions, specialising on buildings and locations in New York, for a total of 895 points.
 * Royal standard of England (1406–1603).svg Gog the Mild came next with 464 points, from a featured article, two good articles and a number of reviews, the main theme being naval warfare.
 * 🇺🇸 Raymie was in third place with 419 points, garnered from one good article and an impressive 34 DYKs on radio and TV stations in the United States.
 * Harrias came next at 414, with a featured article and three good articles, an English civil war battle specialist.
 * Pirate Flag.svg CaptainEek was in fifth place with 405 points, mostly garnered from bringing Cactus wren to featured article status.
 * The top ten contestants at the end of Round 1 all scored over 200 points; they also included 🇺🇸 L293D, 🇻🇪 Kingsif, 🇦🇶 Enwebb, 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Lee Vilenski and 🇳🇵 CAPTAIN MEDUSA. Seven of the top ten contestants in Round 1 are new to the WikiCup.

These contestants, like all the others, now have to start scoring points again from scratch. In Round 1 there were four featured articles, one featured list and two featured pictures, as well as around two hundred DYKs and twenty-seven ITNs. Between them, contestants completed 127 good article reviews, nearly a hundred more than the 43 good articles they claimed for, thus making a substantial dent in the review backlog. Contestants also claimed for 40 featured article / featured list reviews, and most even remembered to mention their WikiCup participation in their reviews (a requirement).

Remember that any content promoted after the end of Round 1 but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Some contestants made claims before the new submissions pages were set up, and they will need to resubmit them. 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 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!

WikiCup 2020 May newsletter
The second round of the 2020 WikiCup has now finished. It was a high-scoring round and contestants needed 75 points to advance to round 3. There were some very impressive efforts in round 2, with the top ten contestants all scoring more than 500 points. A large number of the points came from the 12 featured articles and the 186 good articles achieved in total by contestants, and the 355 good article reviews they performed; the GAN backlog drive and the stay-at-home imperative during the COVID-19 pandemic may have been partially responsible for these impressive figures.

Our top scorers in round 2 were:


 * Epicgenius, with 2333 points from one featured article, forty-five good articles, fourteen DYKs and plenty of bonus points
 * Royal standard of England (1406–1603).svg Gog the Mild, with 1784 points from three featured articles, eight good articles, a substantial number of featured article and good article reviews and lots of bonus points
 * 🇧🇼 The Rambling Man, with 1262 points from two featured articles, eight good articles and a hundred good article reviews
 * Harrias, with 1141 points from two featured articles, three featured lists, ten good articles, nine DYKs and a substantial number of featured article and good article reviews
 * 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Lee Vilenski with 869 points, Blason Gondor.svg Hog Farm with 801, 🇻🇪 Kingsif with 719, SounderBruce with 710, 🇺🇸 Dunkleosteus77 with 608 and 🇲🇽 MX with 515.

The rules for featured article reviews have been adjusted; reviews may cover three aspects of the article, content, images and sources, and contestants may receive points for each of these three types of review. Please also remember the requirement to mention the WikiCup when undertaking an FAR for which you intend to claim points. Remember also that DYKs cannot be claimed until they have appeared on the main page. As we enter the third round, any content promoted after the end of round 2 but before the start of round 3 can be claimed now, and anything you forgot to claim in round 2 cannot! Remember too, that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them. When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met.

If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anything else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

Articles for Creation: List of reviewers by subject notice
Hi, you are receiving this notice because you are listed as an active Articles for Creation reviewer.

Recently a list of reviewers by area of expertise was created. This notice is being sent out to alert you to the existence of that list, and to encourage you to add your name to it. If you or other reviewers come across articles in the queue where an acceptance/decline hinges on specialist knowledge, this list should serve to facilitate contact with a fellow reviewer.

To end on a positive note, the backlog has dropped below 1,500, so thanks for all of the hard work some of you have been putting into the AfC process!

Sent to all Articles for Creation reviewers as a one-time notice. To opt-out of all massmessage mailings, you may add Category:Wikipedians who opt out of message delivery to your user talk page. Regards, (talk) MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 16:35, 27 May 2020 (UTC)

Matter for arbitration: Editors deleted sections of my entry and left me with a threat
Sorry for sending this a second time. I forget to sign the last time.

I sent my first Wikipedia entry entitled "The New Federal State of China" on the 17th of June 2020. Not long after my article went public, editors started to edit my article, deleted huge sections, and left me with short write up that did not look right to me. I reverted my work to the time before drastic changes were introduced to my article. But again, for the second time, they did the same thing. And this time, one editor left me with a note saying that it was my only warning and that I may be blocked from editing by Wikipedia without further notice. I did not feel helped at all, i felt abused. So I want to file a complaint now for arbitration, before they block me from writing a complaint. --Tigmo9098 (talk) 01:26, 19 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Greetings, . Arbitration on Wikipedia is a lengthy, complicated process that is intended to be the last resort for resolving an intractable dispute, only used if all other methods of resolution have failed. This dispute does not yet appear to be at that point. Disputes among editors regarding the content of an article should use structured discussion on the talk page between the disputing editors, in this case at Talk:The New Federal State of China.You were informed that you may be blocked for continued edit-warring, but that is not a threat by that person to block you, as the person who left that warning for you does not have the power to do that. It is merely letting you know (correctly) that someone may block you if you continue to re-add content that was removed (by two different editors) with edit summaries expressing serious concerns. In those edit summaries, the two editors have claimed that your edits contained original research, copyright violations (which Wikipedia takes quite seriously), and were "poorly sourced". Their reverts of your work, while undoubtedly frustrating, is not vandalism and should not be reverted as such. The proper course of action is to calmly and factually explain your edits and your sources for them on the talk page, where you can engage those editors in a civil discussion to come to an agreement as to what the article should say. We call that the bold, revert, discuss cycle: you boldly added content, someone reverted it, and now is the time for discussing your proposed additions. I hope this helps.

Hi, I updated the sources. Please let me know if there's anything I can do! Soccerella (talk) 01:01, 26 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Greetings, and thank you for your note. Yes, that is a good source, but I would suggest trying to find at least one more reputable news source that covers her in detail. I see that the article says she won't begin playing until July, so there may not be anything available for the next couple of weeks, but keep an eye out. I hope this helps!  C Thomas3   (talk) 01:54, 26 June 2020 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for the message. I adjusted the sources. I added Sports Illustrated in the USA, which includes coverage of the 2020 NWSL Draft. I also included Aftonbladet for Sweden, the largest Sports publication in Sweden. Bri's name has also been added by someone else to the Kopparbergs/Göteborg FC page. I hope this suffices. Thanks and have a good weekend

Editor of the Week
Kevin submitted the following nomination for Editor of the Week:
 * It is my delight to nominate Editor Cthomas3 to be this weeks Editor of the Week. Tom is a gifted and dedicated contributor to the encyclopedia. His talent shines through in articles like Forest Reserve Act of 1891 (creation) and Lockheed F-104 Starfighter (extensive contributions). Tom is unfailingly kind and polite, and when he contributes to a discussion I am always sure that he will surface some insight I had not considered. As a clerk of the Arbitration Committee, Tom has also engaged with much of the maintenance work behind the scenes that keeps the encyclopedia working and has earned the praise of many of his colleagues. This recognition was seconded by User:Gog the Mild and User:L293D

WikiCup 2020 September newsletter
The fourth round of the competition has finished, with 865 points being required to qualify for the final round, nearly twice as many points as last year. It was a hotly competitive round with two contestants with 598 and 605 points being eliminated, and all but two of the contestants who reached the final round having achieved an FA during the round. The highest scorers were


 * Free Hong Kong flag.svg Bloom6132, with 1478 points gained mainly from 5 featured lists, 12 DYKs and 63 in the news items;
 * 🇮🇩HaEr48 with 1318 points gained mainly from 2 featured articles, 5 good articles and 8 DYKs;
 * 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Lee Vilenski with 1201 points mainly gained from 2 featured articles and 10 good articles.

Between them, contestants achieved 14 featured articles, 14 featured lists, 2 featured pictures, 87 good articles, 90 DYK entries, 75 ITN entries, 95 featured article candidate reviews and 81 good article reviews. Congratulations to all who participated! It was a generally high-scoring and productive round and I think we can expect a highly competitive finish to the competition.

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 WikiCup/Reviews. 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 keep down the review backlogs!

I not quite understanding the reasoning
Hi, Cthomas3 - I apologize for bringing my question to your UTP and I do appreciate your response to my question at DRV. If you choose to delete my question, I will not take offense. However, I'm to know if you believe that we should give more weight to simple guidelines (WP:N, GNG and WP:LISTN) over core content policies in an AfD discussion? When multiple core content policy vios have been brought to light in 20 or so delete arguments vs 14 weak keeps based on a guideline for inclusion just doesn't make any sense as a NC, much less a reason to keep it. The deletes cited numerous policy violations, with the most important among them being BLP policy, several WP:NOT vios, and our core content policy WP:V - REDFLAG. Exceptional claims comprise that list that includes the names of children which unequivocally subjects us to BLP vio relative to the parents and families of those dead children, not to mention the circumstances being cited to questionable/unreliable sources which actually does fail GNG, N and LISTN. Forgive me, but after seeing some of the reasons given in the DRV, it appears more to be an endorsement of the closer's action rather than an evaluation of the legitimacy of the list, which even some of the keep ivotes described as "trash", or admitting a rough consensus to delete. It just doesn't make any sense to me. Atsme Talk 📧 16:14, 23 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Greetings, you are absolutely welcome my talk page, and I am happy to discuss. As I said before, I personally believe that it's a problematic page for many reasons, and if it were to come up for deletion again I'd likely make many of the arguments you have put forth. The problem is, the last discussion didn't arrive at that consensus. Although the deletes did assert them, there wasn't a consensus that BLP or NOT was truly an issue; several of the keep !votes, led primarily by Astro$01, posited that BLP is not being violated because the only personal information being given was the individual's name. I didn't see any of the deletes attempt to refute that; the only argument against was that the names weren't notable. Regarding NOT, there was a lot of back-and-forth, but for the most part the discussion seemed to be a lot of "yes it is" and "no it isn't" without a great deal of evidence to back up either position.With regard to DRV being an endorsement of the closer's action rather than an evaluation of the legitimacy of the list, per WP:DRVPURPOSE, DRV isn't the forum to revisit the underlying arguments of the AFD itself. There doesn't appear to be any procedural errors or any new information that wasn't available for the participants, so I don't see any reason that this close should be overturned. A new AFD, on the other hand, absolutely should do that, and a no-consensus close does not prevent one from being opened.I'm absolutely not unsympathetic to the REDFLAG and NOTADVOCACY issues, but those can still be addressed even if the article stays. Personally I would welcome a talk-page discussion to remove information such as victim names and dog breeds, and if that doesn't go anywhere, then there would be an even greater case for a deletion renomination.
