Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Pablo Cuevas, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Robert Farah and Alejandro González.

Great thoughts on education
I liked your comment on the Signpost article the other day. I'm new to the foundation, and have only been a Wikipedian for a few years. You said, "Technology is a tool, the strategic goals are educational.". I agree and am going to print this out and put it on my wall - to keep it fresh in my mind! CKoerner (WMF) (talk) 17:02, 1 February 2016 (UTC)


 * You are welcome, CKoerner!
 * Of course we need tech people to run the Wikimedia websites. But technology is supposed to help us to write and share. I'm afraid that this knowledge engine sounds like it could create and select content automatically, which means instead of people.
 * We at the Wikimedia community try to encourage and help people around the world to learn about the world. So we take a little spare time each week to write texts, take photos and make videos.
 * And on top of that, we encourage people to become members of the community. The board is meant to help the Wikimedia community to do that. --NaBUru38 (talk) 00:37, 2 February 2016 (UTC)

Invitation to "target countries" discussion
Hello, NaBUru38! Since you attended the Global South meeting at Wikimania 2016, we're inviting you to a discussion on "target countries". You can help the product team at the Wikimedia Foundation create a new list of countries and metrics to replace the "global south" concept in our process with something more relevant. Interested?

History of the United States by state
Firstly - Wow! That's quite some trick with the wiki magic. I've not seen anything like it before and it was an interesting detour to find out about mw:Extension:Labeled Section Transclusion.

Unfortunately it looks like the article has some problems.
 * It's too big. When Reflist won't resolve into a list of references because of the page size you know you've got a problem, and it's not just a matter of aesthetic opinion.
 * Perhaps (given that the title is "by state") removing the territories would get the article down to a size where things start to work again - but I doubt it.


 * From the hidden categories that have been thrown up it would appear that a number of the articles you've put together have used the same names for their named references, meaning that your composite article has duplicate reference names which won't resolve.

Until the article starts to function more like a normal wiki article it's hard to offer any more useful review comments. Hope that helps, Cabayi (talk) 23:06, 10 September 2017 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of History of the United States by state


The article History of the United States by state has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Page is too large and contains content included on other pages."

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Sports numbers
Hello and thanks for your edits such as adding sports numbers. After a detailed discussion last year at Talk:1, we filtered a mass of sports numbers down to just those numbers permanently retired by a major league (per WikiProject Numbers) and moved it into its own article: List of retired numbers. It's not obvious where best to keep other jersey number information that is related more to the sport than to the mathematical properties of the number. Perhaps we need another new article. Any thoughts? Certes (talk) 21:27, 31 January 2018 (UTC)


 * Hello, Certes! Thanks for writing to me.
 * I understand that the articles 1 (number) and 10 (number) shouldn't have a list of every sports competitor who wore those nunmbers. However, I have started with number 35, so the list of notable competitors is rather short. I would like to continue adding these, are you opposed to it?
 * I don't fully understand which new article you are proposing. I mean, racecar numbers are very rarely retired, so they won't appear on List of retired numbers. Are you proposing a full list of notable sports numbers, including not retired numbers?
 * See you, NaBUru38 (talk) 16:54, 1 February 2018 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure of the best way forward. I've asked for help at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Numbers. Certes (talk) 17:06, 1 February 2018 (UTC)

Sports and rodeo categories
Hi NaBUru, just a friendly note regarding these categories. You are the knowledgeable one regarding the sports categories. I work in the rodeo area. I just want to understand a couple things so in future I add articles to the correct ones. But first of all, I want to make sure there is consistency in the categories: Sports in Las Vegas and Sports competitions in Las Vegas. I noticed you moved a few around. You moved the two PRCA articles: i.e., the National Finals Rodeos articles and one of the PBR tour articles (Unleash the Beast Series) articles to the competition category. But you left some PBR and PRCA articles in the Sports in Las Vegas category. What is criteria for deciding which ones belong in each category? The two PBR articles are easy to tell from the titles. The two PRCA articles are the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association. I am not challenging the moves, just want to understand, thanks! dawnleelynn(talk) 19:33, 2 March 2018 (UTC) ProRodeo Hall of Fame.


 * Hello, dawnleelynn! First of all, I changed the categories of hundreds of articles, so I may have made some mistakes.
 * The "sports competitions" categories are meant to include articles about competitions. Therefore, Category:Sports competitions in London includes articles such as London Marathon‎, London Grand Prix, London ePrix and 2012 Summer Olympics‎. Meanwhile, other subcategories of Category:Sport in London include articles about sports-related subjects that are not competitions, for example Chelsea F.C.‎, London Stadium and Rio Ferdinand.
 * However, some articles are ambiguous. For example, the National Basketball Association is an association, but it organizes a competition also called NBA.
 * A similar problem happens with the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association, which is the name for both the association and the competition. In this case, I preferred to be cautious, and keep the article in Category:Sports in Las Vegas.
 * However, Professional Bull Riders is an association that organizes competitions like the Unleash the Beast Series and the Velocity Tour. Therefore, it was easy to decide to keep the PBR article in "Sports in Las Vegas", and move "Unleash the Beast Series" to "Sports competitions in Las Vegas".
 * Actually, neither of those articles really belong to "Sports in Las Vegas" or its categories, because those series host events at multiple venues. Instead, the article that belongs there is PBR World Finals, just like National Finals Rodeo. But it's a redirect, not a standalone article, so I'm not opposed to keep the other articles there.
 * My recommendation is that you create a standalone article about the PBR World Finals, and remove the other articles from "Sports in Las Vegas".
 * I hope that you understand this long description. Good luck! --NaBUru38 (talk) 20:58, 3 March 2018 (UTC)


 * Oh, thank you that is most helpful and took you a bit of time to write all that up, I'm sure. I think I follow everything. I didn't realize that there was a redirect page of PBR World Finals to the PBR article. That's most helpful. There is actually a website for the PBR World Finals. And, actually, I just noted to write up an article for the PRCA steer roping finals separate from the National Finals Rodeo. Not many realize it's a separate event, the National Finals Steer Roping (NFSR). When I write that up, I will add it where the NFR article is. I think adding a finals article for the PBR is a good idea so I will add that to my list. It doesn't need to be super long. Once that is written, we can revisit what you said about where those two articles not really belonging where they are and putting the new article there instead. Thanks a bunch. I should be able to write something up within a couple weeks or so. I've just done a lot of expanding the PBR articles, found some great media guides, and have plenty of source material. Have a great weekend! dawnleelynn(talk) 21:15, 3 March 2018 (UTC)

Invitation to WikiProject Portals
The Portals WikiProject has been rebooted.

You are invited to join, and participate in the effort to revitalize and improve the Portal system and all the portals in it.

There are sections on the WikiProject page dedicated to tasks (including WikiGnome tasks too), and areas on the talk page for discussing the improvement and automation of the various features of portals.

Many complaints have been lodged in the RfC to delete all portals, pointing out their various problems. They say that many portals are not maintained, or have fallen out of date, are useless, etc. Many of the !votes indicate that the editors who posted them simply don't believe in the potential of portals anymore.

It's time to change all that. Let's give them reasons to believe in portals, by revitalizing them.

The best response to a deletion nomination is to fix the page that was nominated. The further underway the effort is to improve portals by the time the RfC has run its course, the more of the reasons against portals will no longer apply. RfCs typically run 30 days. There are 19 days left in this one. Let's see how many portals we can update and improve before the RfC is closed, and beyond.

A healthy WikiProject dedicated to supporting and maintaining portals may be the strongest argument of all not to delete.

We may even surprise ourselves and exceed all expectations. Who knows what we will be able to accomplish in what may become the biggest Wikicollaboration in years.

Let's do this.

See ya at the WikiProject!

Sincerely,   &mdash; The Transhumanist   10:22, 21 April 2018 (UTC)

Thank you very much
The RfC discussion to eliminate portals was closed May 12, with the statement "There exists a strong consensus against deleting or even deprecating portals at this time." This was made possible because you and others came to the rescue. Thank you for speaking up.

By the way, the current issue of the Signpost features an article with interviews about the RfC and the Portals WikiProject.

I'd also like to let you know that the Portals WikiProject is working hard to make sure your support of portals was not in vain. Toward that end, we have been working diligently to innovate portals, while building, updating, upgrading, and maintaining them. The project has grown to 80 members so far, and has become a beehive of activity.

Our two main goals at this time are to automate portals (in terms of refreshing, rotating, and selecting content), and to develop a one-page model in order to make obsolete and eliminate most of the 150,000 subpages from the portal namespace by migrating their functions to the portal base pages, using technologies such as selective transclusion. Please feel free to join in on any of the many threads of development at the WikiProject's talk page, or just stop by to see how we are doing. If you have any questions about portals or portal development, that is the best place to ask them.

If you would like to keep abreast of developments on portals, keep in mind that the project's members receive updates on their talk pages. The updates are also posted here, for your convenience.

Again, we can't thank you enough for your support of portals, and we hope to make you proud of your decision. Sincerely,  &mdash; The Transhumanist   10:38, 25 May 2018 (UTC)

P.S.: if you reply to this message, please ping me. Thank you. -TT
