Orphaned non-free media (File:Henry Gibson.jpg)
Thanks for uploading File:Henry Gibson.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Werieth (talk) 15:32, 30 September 2013 (UTC)

WikiCup 2013 September newsletter
In 30 days, we will know the identity of our 2013 WikiCup champion. currently leads; if that lead is held, she will become the first person to have won the WikiCup twice. , —who has never participated in the competition before—and follow. The majority of points in this round have come from a mix of good articles and bonus points. This final round is seeing contributions to a number of highly important topics; recent submissions include Phoenix (constellation) (FA by Casliber), Ernest Lawrence (GA by Hawkeye7), Pinniped, and red fox (both GAs by Sasata).

The did you know (DYK) eligibility criteria have recently changed, meaning that newly passed good articles are accepted as "new" for did you know purposes. However, in the interests of not changing the WikiCup rules mid-competition, please note that only articles eligible for DYK under the old system (that is, newly created articles or 5x expansions) will be eligible for points in this year's WikiCup. We do, however, have time to discuss how this new system will work for next year's competition; a discussion will be opened in due course. On that note, thoughts are welcome on changes you'd like to see for next year. What worked? What didn't work? What would you like to see more of? What would you like to see less of? All Wikipedians, new or old, are also warmly invited to sign up for the 2014 WikiCup.

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 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!

Rutgers and "On the banks..."
Out of curiosity are you an alumnus/alumna? I graduated 11 years ago. One of my projects (among many) is adding material and articles regarding Rutgers and Rutgers-related stuff--recently writing on Kirkpatrick Chapel, Geology Hall, Daniel S. Schanck Observatory and RC/NBTS professor Samuel Merrill Woodbridge. After I finish researching an article on the Queen's Campus (in sandbox for the next few days), I'm planning to fix up Voorhees Mall. Someday, if I get enough ambition, I'll fix the larger article. --ColonelHenry (talk) 22:30, 12 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Hi ColonelHenry. No, I've never attended Rutgers. My interest in the alma mater was piqued when I read about the new version with the gender-neutral lyrics. Gobōnobō  + c 19:03, 13 October 2013 (UTC)

Was hoping someone would get to Ingeborg!
Thanks much for all your contributions to yesterday's Ada Lovelace Day edit-a-thon at Brown. I'm currently compiling contributions that ppl forgot to log, and was floored that no one did Ingeborg Hochmair after the many times that I mentioned her in press interviews leading up to yesterday! Anyhoo...glad to see she's about to have a proper page. Thanks again :) Girona7 (talk) 05:08, 17 October 2013 (UTC)


 * Thank you so much for organizing it! Yes, Ingeborg and Anny Cazenave were mentioned in multiple media sources and strike me as priorities. I've been compiling a list of the created articles at the Ada edit-a-thons to see which ones can be submitted to DYK. I'll try to post the list somewhere soon. I hope the Brown event went well. Gobōnobō  + c 05:24, 17 October 2013 (UTC)


 * Great idea. I'm still compiling a list of all edits beyond what was self-reported on our event page. Have the in-person edits and additions finished but not the remote contributions yet. Maybe post your findings about DYK candidates on the WP Women Scientist page? Anyhoo, yep, the event went very well! Thanks again :) Girona7 (talk) 06:07, 17 October 2013 (UTC)


 * I finally posted the list of Ada Lovelace Day DYK potentials over at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Women scientists. Do you mind if I post welcome/thank you messages on the talk pages of edit-a-thon participants? Gobōnobō  + c 14:58, 20 October 2013 (UTC)


 * FYI, I reached out last night to some folks in Germany (I think) who have a CC pic of Hochmair on Flickr asking if they'd update the license so we could use it. Long shot, but worth a try. Anyway, go for it on the thanking...I went through and thanked everyone using the "thank" tag for individual edits since I went through those anyway, but I didn't also add to folks' talk pages. BTW, I'm about to post a recap blog mentioning a few Wiki folks, and I'd love to include you. If you're comfortable with me posting your real name, shoot me an email at maiaw |@| nasw.org with that info. If not, I'll use your username. Thx! Girona7 (talk) 15:17, 20 October 2013 (UTC)

Redirect
This edit puzzled me,. I do not know C.R. Avery, but that person appears to be a member of a folk band (See Barbara Adler)

I've removed the redirect, please let me know if I am missing something.-- SPhilbrick (Talk)  14:55, 22 October 2013 (UTC)


 * I've not a mop, so I can't see the history there, but if I remember correctly, I had that redirect pointing to Tons of Fun University, a spoken word trio of which he is a member. Seeing as he was also a member of The Fugitives (spoken word), it might be best to leave it as a red link for now. I hope that clears it up. Gobōnobō  + c 18:32, 22 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I should have explained, it was a redirect to Jane Cowl. I'm fine leaving it as a red link.-- SPhilbrick (Talk)  18:37, 22 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Ah. That was also a pen name used by Cowl. I might just make a disambiguation page for the name. Gobōnobō  + c 18:49, 22 October 2013 (UTC)

Double DYK Comment
Hi Gobonobo, as promised I translated an article for your gender gap project: Julia Klöckner, who looks like a woman who is going places. In doing so, I decided to also create the German Wine Queen article and they were awarded a double DYK which is currently leading WP:DYKSTATS for October! And then I got sidetracked and had to create articles for the last 6 wine queens as well! So that's seven articles in total for you! Mind you, I did get someone questioning whether the other six wine queens were notable, but I think they are just as worthy as e.g. footballers who played one season for some obscure low division league - and there are plenty of those! Regards. --Bermicourt (talk) 19:57, 31 October 2013 (UTC)


 * Wow! Thank you Bermicourt. Excellent work on those translations. Gobōnobō  + c 20:14, 31 October 2013 (UTC)

Congratulations to everyone who has been successful in this year's WikiCup, whether you made it to the final rounds or not, and a particular congratulations to the newcomers to the WikiCup who have achieved this year. Thanks to all who have taken part and helped out with the competition. While it has been an excellent year, errors have opened up the judges' eyes to the need for a third judge, and it is with pleasure that we announce that experienced WikiCup participant Miyagawa will be acting as a judge from now on. We hope you will all join us in welcoming him to the team.

Next year's competition begins on 1 January. You are invited to sign up to participate; it is open to all Wikipedians, new and old. Brainstorming and discussion remains open for how next year's competition will work, and straw polls will be opened by the judges soon.

Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot
We are currently running a study on the effects of adding additional information to SuggestBot's suggestions. Participation in the study is voluntary. Should you wish to not participate in the study, or have questions or concerns, you can find contact information on the SuggestBot study page.

IMPORTANT CHANGES: We have modified the selection of articles SuggestBot suggests and altered the design to incorporate more information about the articles, as described in this explanation.

Note: All columns in this table are sortable, allowing you to rearrange the table so the articles most interesting to you are shown at the top. All images have mouse-over popups with more information.

Changes to SuggestBot's suggestions
We have changed the number of suggested articles and which categories they are selected from. The number of stubs has been greatly reduced, the number of articles needing sources doubled, and two new categories added (orphans and unencyclopaedic articles). We have also modified the layout of the suggestions and added sortable columns with various types of information about each article. The first two columns are:


 * Views/Day : Daily average number of views an article's had over the past 14 days.
 * Quality : Predicted article quality on a 1- to 3-star scale. Placing your cursor over the stars should give you a pop-up describing the article's quality (Low/Medium/High), current assessment class, and predicted assessment class.

The method we use to predict article quality also allows us to assess whether an article might need specific types of work in order to improve its quality. The work needed might not correspond to cleanup tags added to the article, since our method is not based on those. We have added five columns reflecting this work assessment, where a red X indicates improvement is needed. Placing your cursor over an X should give you a pop-up with a short description of the work needed. The five columns seek to answer the following five questions:


 * Content : Is more content needed?
 * Headings : Does this article have an appropriate section structure?
 * Images : Is the number of illustrative images about right?
 * Links : Does this article link to enough other Wikipedia articles?
 * Sources : For its length, is there an appropriate number of citations to sources in this article?

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. We appreciate that you have signed up to receive suggestions regularly, your contributions make Wikipedia better — thanks for helping!

If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please let us know on SuggestBot's talk page. Regards from Nettrom (talk), SuggestBot's caretaker. -- SuggestBot (talk) 12:44, 3 November 2013 (UTC)
