Election
Hi Toa...well, I am not surprised to see "newbies" show up and march immediately to articles where they can try and force their political agenda...but more disheartening is to see seasoned admins who are templating the seasoned editors such as yourself and Arthur Rubin, and turning around and being supportive of troublemakers. In fact, that makes me sick. Be careful with the civil POV pushers...and its best to not argue with idiots.--MONGO 05:43, 26 August 2012 (UTC)

Just to interject, sometimes worse is better. That is, an obviously slanted article is less misleading to our readers than a seemingly balanced page. Tom Harrison Talk 13:05, 26 August 2012 (UTC)

Input please?
Taylor Swift discography ^_^ Swifty *talk 23:33, 26 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I've given my input, hopefully there can be some good discussion. Featured lists need to have their categories right so it is important to get outside input. Toa  Nidhiki05  23:44, 26 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Yep. I hope we can get it done, it's a pain trying to figure out LOL! May have to open it up to higher input. ^_^ Swifty *talk 00:05, 27 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I hope this gets sorted out on a Wiki-wide basis - identifying questionable singles is very hard, particularly for discographies. I've had a case where a song was released to a radio format but it wasn't regarded as an official single by the record label - I have no clue how to classify it since it isn't a song, but isn't a single. Further, Christmas singles aren't always counted as official singles, unless they attain a high chart position. It's a real mess to classify them. Toa  Nidhiki05  01:55, 27 August 2012 (UTC)
 * LOL! Yeah that is for sure, I think it should be kept simple. If it's released to radio it's a single if it's not and is only available for digital download then it's a promotional single. LOL! Only the artist really know what songs they've released as singles or not. ^_^ Swifty *talk 02:01, 27 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Seems alright to me, that's the way I'd prefer it. Exceptions can be dealt with on a case-by-case basis, obviously. The record label and press releases are also good resources to identify singles, particularly if they identify a radio adds date. Toa  Nidhiki05  02:03, 27 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Yeah but for now we are going to have to see where that debate goes cause as of right now the stand is that promos are free and not payed for so that makes digital downloads a single. doesn't make sense to me but I'm done commenting for now and waiting on a wider band of people to comment. ^_^ Swifty *<font face="Arial" color="DarkRed"><sup style="margin-left:0.37ex;">talk 02:06, 27 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Doesn't make much sense to me, either... it would really clutter up the singles section given just how many download-only singles she releases. <font color="green" face="Mistral">Toa  <font color="green" face="Mistral">Nidhiki05  02:07, 27 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Not to mention iTunes, Amazon.com, etc. allow you to buy the songs individually, without having to buy every song on the album, so that would make every song a single technically. ^_^ <font face="Arial" color="Red">Swifty *<font face="Arial" color="DarkRed"><sup style="margin-left:0.37ex;">talk 02:11, 27 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Yeah, it'd be a virtual mess at that point seeing as pretty much everything she released has charted. Hopefully a good idea can come from broader involvement from the community. <font color="green" face="Mistral">Toa  <font color="green" face="Mistral">Nidhiki05  02:14, 27 August 2012 (UTC)
 * We can hope this will probably go on for months. ^_^ <font face="Arial" color="Red">Swifty *<font face="Arial" color="DarkRed"><sup style="margin-left:0.37ex;">talk 02:16, 27 August 2012 (UTC)

 * No problem, I do think it was unfair of him to go and do that just to get his way it's like poking a bear in the eye. I think my advise to him of not editing on "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" was not out of line as he has caused problems with me as well as you now over things he doesn't like and doesn't want to seem to handle just by bringing it up on the talk page and discussing it. Hopefully he will take my advise and walk away but we shall see. Oh I also took the courtesy of letting him know we replied to him. I hope that wasn't a problem that I did that. ^_^ <font face="Arial" color="Red">Swifty *<font face="Arial" color="DarkRed"><sup style="margin-left:0.37ex;">talk 18:41, 28 August 2012 (UTC)

 * I replied, hopefully we can work something out. I've suggested he add the citation rather than remove the info entirely. <font color="green" face="Mistral">Toa  <font color="green" face="Mistral">Nidhiki05  18:51, 28 August 2012 (UTC)

 * But I wouldn't hold my breath on it on it being resolved. This is the second time he has caused an issue over this page and was told how to handle it. ^_^ <font face="Arial" color="Red">Swifty *<font face="Arial" color="DarkRed"><sup style="margin-left:0.37ex;">talk 18:59, 28 August 2012 (UTC)

Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars
I was told that we are to keep an eye on him and if he continues to be disruptive on the We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together talk page to report him to ANI he has been warned that if he is to continue he is to be reported and will be blocked for his disruptive editing on the talk page. So if I'm not around keep an eye on him okay? ^_^ <font face="Arial" color="Red">Swifty *<font face="Arial" color="DarkRed"><sup style="margin-left:0.37ex;">talk 17:46, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Sure, I don't have anything else to do really. :P <font color="green" face="Mistral">Toa  <font color="green" face="Mistral">Nidhiki05  18:56, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Yeah I see he wants to continue in my absence so I am going to do what is suggested and just report him to the ANI before that whole thing gets out of hand. ^_^ <font face="Arial" color="Red">Swifty *<font face="Arial" color="DarkRed"><sup style="margin-left:0.37ex;">talk 22:20, 29 August 2012 (UTC)

Here it is if you want to have any input on it. ^_^ <font face="Arial" color="Red">Swifty *<font face="Arial" color="DarkRed"><sup style="margin-left:0.37ex;">talk 22:33, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Now we have sock! Look at the talk page and look here. ^_^ <font face="Arial" color="Red">Swifty *<font face="Arial" color="DarkRed"><sup style="margin-left:0.37ex;">talk 22:59, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I didn't think he'd go that far. <font color="green" face="Mistral">Toa  <font color="green" face="Mistral">Nidhiki05  23:14, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Really? Cause it's funny after the ANI gets a report on him all of a sudden this IP shows up? NOT! lol ^_^ <font face="Arial" color="Red">Swifty *<font face="Arial" color="DarkRed"><sup style="margin-left:0.37ex;">talk 23:16, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Checkuser will tell if it is an IP but I really hope that people wouldn't suckpuppet on such a trivial issue as succession boxes. <font color="green" face="Mistral">Toa  <font color="green" face="Mistral">Nidhiki05  23:21, 29 August 2012 (UTC)

 * Eh, its alright - probably would have headed there eventually if things kept going the way they were. <font color="green" face="Mistral">Toa  <font color="green" face="Mistral">Nidhiki05  23:25, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Does it look alright now? ^_^ <font face="Arial" color="Red">Swifty *<font face="Arial" color="DarkRed"><sup style="margin-left:0.37ex;">talk 00:07, 30 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I guess so, although I'm not frequent at DR so I don't know how it is supposed to look. <font color="green" face="Mistral">Toa  <font color="green" face="Mistral">Nidhiki05  00:13, 30 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I was just told I shouldn't have been directed there in the first place and did you see what that IP said about me? ^_^ <font face="Arial" color="Red">Swifty *<font face="Arial" color="DarkRed"><sup style="margin-left:0.37ex;">talk 00:29, 30 August 2012 (UTC)
 * It's not really your fault, you asked for advice and followed it accordingly. The IP certainly isn't being too nice and I noted that - personal attacks are really unwarranted, particularly over a really minor issue. <font color="green" face="Mistral">Toa  <font color="green" face="Mistral">Nidhiki05  00:35, 30 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Toa, my apologies for coming on a bit strong--you are a longtime editor here and probably deserve a raise. My problem (if that wasn't clear) is with editors being brought up in the ANI court at the drop of a hat (being given bad advice is one thing, but listening to it is another) and the immediate sock accusation simply because someone else agreed with the opposition. I personally don't care about the SPI--first of all because I don't know Star and have never worked with them, second because an SPI won't tie an IP to an account, and third because no admin in their right mind could conclude that we are making the same, or the same kind of, edits. I do care about Star's reputation: being accused of socking is not a good thing, and I'm glad the thing was closed. Take care, 66.168.247.159 (talk) 03:58, 30 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Alright, everything seems fine then. <font color="green" face="Mistral">Toa  <font color="green" face="Mistral">Nidhiki05  14:11, 30 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Toa – I, too, want to apologize for labeling you as the same type of fanatic that Swifty appears to be. I believe Swifty came off as a bit irrational in some of his comments, as, if I may infer, you seem to agree somewhat in this case when you said "I've found in past experiences he is generally a level-headed, reasonable editor". In regards to the verification issue, if you want to use "chart highlights" update as a source (I know you didn't make this particular edit but you did revert mine), then don't use the singlechart template in those articles. That way there is no issue with improper verification. Thanks and happy editing. -- Star cheers  peaks  news  lost  wars Talk to me 05:10, 30 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I accept your apology, thanks for offering it. I prefer not to use the template for the very reason you mention, as well as the fact you can't actually use the created citation anywhere else in the article. As for Swifty, we all make mistakes and get caught up in a dispute - I had it happen on the same page just a while back, actually, with genre changes by an anon IP. Swifty was able to come in and gave a solution that was rational and immediately solved the dispute. <font color="green" face="Mistral">Toa  <font color="green" face="Mistral">Nidhiki05  14:11, 30 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Toa, I've been having a look into this whole situation from a conduct point of view. Overall, I don't have any issue with your editing at all, I think the heart of the problem lies elsewhere. <span style='text-shadow:0 -1px #DDD,1px 0 #DDD,0 1px #DDD,-1px 0 #DDD;'><font color='#000'>Worm TT(<font color='#060'>talk ) 11:39, 30 August 2012 (UTC)

Dara Maclean, again
I have once again reverted your edits to Dara Maclean. Please, will you stop removing the COI tag, as it is evident that has a COI with this article. I must admit that you do seem unfamiliar with this condition, and I suggest that you read the page if so. I have signified this to you a few times in the past and cannot understand why you are still persisting in doing this, but on any occasion, please don't. I am going to open a case about this at WP:COIN soon. Qxukhgiels56 (talk) 16:06, 22 August 2012 (UTC)
 * No, you don't understand it. COI is almost exclusively reserved for paid editing, citing your own book/publication, promoting a political candidate, or something similar. At most, HotHat is a fan, but most of the GA or FA music articles we have here are because of 'fans'. Unless he is being paid by MacLean to make articles, COI does not apply here since he isn't citing himself or creating an article about himself. Are you going to report me because I work on articles for bands/artists I like? <font color="green" face="Mistral">Toa  <font color="green" face="Mistral">Nidhiki05  16:12, 22 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm not going to fight here, but you seem unfamiliar- COIs can be developed per information obtained from one's family, organization, etc, and creating articles per one's "personal" interests or pleasures (I could give you an example, but I'd be choosing from a sea of COIs); they are never "exclusively reserved" for anything. I have found evidence there of no NPOV, and POV pushing. I must also admit that he has made more "COI evidential" edits (as we'll paraphrase it as) to this article than any other articles, even though I have seen some at other articles created by him. THere are many more possibilities that have occurred than those mentioned at the page. I'm planning on reporting HotHat at COIN, not you, as I am not so sure what artists you are referring to. Qxukhgiels56 (talk) 16:26, 22 August 2012 (UTC)
 * You will have no luck whatsoever. People with interests will edit in their interest area and it is stupid to accuse them of a COI because of it. You'd be laughed out of the room if you filed one on me for 'COI violation' and I doubt the reaction would be any better to filing one on HotHat because he has not been promoting the artist. Interest is not a COI violation. <font color="green" face="Mistral">Toa  <font color="green" face="Mistral">Nidhiki05  16:37, 22 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry, but... you don't understand it. I suggest you read WP:COIU, which is the best explanation. And have I accused you of a COI? I didn't think so. I'd have warned you about it if so. Anyways, they haven't edited in those areas lately, and we'll only file one if the pushing continues. I have previously, however, referred you to the guidelines for the maintenance tag. Do not remove it.Qxukhgiels56 (talk) 19:52, 1 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I've read it and I understand it, you don't. And I can remove any tag I want - per removed, I can remove pretty much any comment from my page, including tags. I don't need to see false 'edit-warring' tags, thanks. <font color="green" face="Mistral">Toa  <font color="green" face="Mistral">Nidhiki05  23:13, 1 September 2012 (UTC)

WikiCup 2012 August newsletter
The final is upon us! We are down to our final 8. A massive 573 was our lowest qualifying score; this is higher than the 150 points needed last year and the 430 needed in 2010. Even in 2009, when points were acquired for mainspace edit count in addition to audited content, 417 points secured a place. That leaves this year's WikiCup, by one measure at least, our most competitive ever. Our finalists, ordered by round 4 score, are:
 * 1) once again finishes the round in first place, leading Pool B. Grapple X writes articles about television, and especially The X-Files and Millenium, with good articles making up the bulk of the score.
 * 2) led Pool A this round. Fourth-place finalist last year, Miyagawa writes on a variety of topics, and has reached the final primarily off the back of his massive number of did you knows.
 * 3) was second in Pool B. Ruby2010 writes primarily on television and film, and scores primarily from good articles.
 * 4) finished third in Pool B. Casliber is something of a WikiCup veteran, having finished sixth in 2011 and fourth in 2010. Casliber writes on the natural sciences, including ornithology, botany and astronomy. Over half of Casliber's points this round were bonus points from the high-importance articles he has worked on.
 * 5) came second in Pool A. Also writing on biology, especially marine biology, Cwmhiraeth received 390 points for one featured article (Bivalvia) and one good article (pelican), topping up with a large number of did you knows.
 * 6) was third in Pool A. Muboshgu writes primarily on baseball, and this round saw Muboshgu's first featured article, Derek Jeter, promoted on its fourth attempt at FAC.
 * 7) was fourth in Pool A. She writes on a variety of topics, including horses, but this round also saw the high-importance lettuce reach featured article status.
 * 8) is another WikiCup veteran, having been a finalist in 2009 and 2010. He writes mostly on mycology.

However, we must also say goodbye to the eight who did not make the final, having fallen at the last hurdle:, , , , , , and. We hope to see you all next year.

On the subject of next year, a discussion has been opened here. Come and have your say about the competition, and how you'd like it to run in the future. This brainstorming will go on for some time before more focused discussions/polls are opened. As ever, 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. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

Audio samples, etc
Template:Extra music sample is a template intended to place audio samples within the infobox of the corresponding song, and I think more articles use this than you realise. And no, there is no advantage, this is just the standard template for infoboxes. Please, do not change the template until a consensus is reached. It also might be a good idea for you to step away from this article, as you may be close to an ownership.Qxukhgiels56 (talk) 18:11, 11 September 2012 (UTC)
 * It is not frequently used any more and it belongs in the composition section, where it fits with the overall message. The infobox drags it away from where it belongs. I don't know why you are wanting to get in a dispute over this. <font color="green" face="Mistral">Toa  <font color="green" face="Mistral">Nidhiki05  19:17, 11 September 2012 (UTC)

Tags, etc
Sorry about the tags- if you are not content with them, I suggest you remove them. I have re-tagged the files with F7, as F6 was incorrect, and the FUR is actually disputed. But I noticed you uploaded an audio sample for practically every Casting Crowns song, which might be too many, considering the fact that there are very few audio samples throughout WP:XM, which we should probably focus on first. We can keep one or two, but we should probably focus on more audio samples for various other artists throughout this WikiProject before we upload a sample for every song by a specific artist or an artist we are a fan of.-Qxukhgiels56 (talk) 00:40, 15 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Audio samples improve articles, that is fact. I only add samples for singles, as well as one or two album cuts per album - this is because singles are often not representative of the entire album, and samples provide an audio aid to reader understanding. As such, I am not sure why you are upset I am improving articles; you are not being constructive in tagging these as you have no actual, policy-related concern. As such, I will revert them again.
 * I have no problem with adding other audio samples for other songs, and there are not very many articles in the WP:Christian Music scope that have them; the project and topic area as a whole are weakly covered. However, when I improve or create an article I intend to make it the best it can be - and that includes adding samples when possible. <font color="green" face="Mistral">Toa  <font color="green" face="Mistral">Nidhiki05  00:45, 15 September 2012 (UTC)

Christian right article
On the Christian right article, I didn't quite see at first why you tagged it as "failed verification" since the statistics were in the news article. However, I do see that I used a direct quote which I thought had been from the article when it was actually from the Pew study. So I added that as a reference as well and removed the tag. I hope that takes care of the problem.

On the Tea Party information, I'm aware it's not a party and did include it as the "Tea Party movement." Since it's been influential the last few years it seemed useful to include it. Do you have any suggestions for how it might be used in the article that's acceptable? Psalm84 (talk) 04:50, 15 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I added the citation because the citation only supports the claim for 'white Evangelical Protestants', not 'Christian right'. I know plenty of liberal white Evangelical Protestants, the term is not equal. As for the Tea Party, it is not a party so it simply doesn't belong there. You wouldn't put Occupy Wall Street on a list of 'liberal parties', right? <font color="green" face="Mistral">Toa  <font color="green" face="Mistral">Nidhiki05  14:14, 15 September 2012 (UTC)


 * On the citation question, we are talking about the Christian right, though. If someone is a liberal white evangelical Protestant they aren't Christian right, but left. If they're liberal, then how many of the white evangelical Protestants that you know are Republicans? In another place in the article I also reported more from the same poll that 9% of white evangelical Protestants are Democrats. I also added the numbers on mainline Protestants, as some of them could think of themselves as "evangelical."


 * Polls have to be taken with a grain of salt, but if they're done well they do reveal something. And this poll fits with many other polls and the general knowledge that the Christian right is closely associated with the Republican Party. That is shown in the article and accepted as fact by scholars and the media. One of the boxes with wikilinks at the page bottom already links to the Republican Party, too.


 * On the Tea Party, it is closely associated with the Christian right too, and political candidates have actually made themselves a part of the movement and taken on the "Tea Party" label.


 * The article also already lists the Republican Party in a smaller — Preceding unsigned comment added by Psalm94 (talk • contribs)
 * I don't know, I don't ask everyone their ideology. I do know several vehement liberals, including staff and (former) pastors at my own church. 'White Evangelical Protestant' /= Christian right, and your efforts to combine various polling results amount to little more than synthesis. Once again, the Tea Party is not a party, it is a movement. <font color="green" face="Mistral">Toa  <font color="green" face="Mistral">Nidhiki05  21:27, 15 September 2012 (UTC)

Conservatism WikiProject
In all honesty, I have to say that your response to my comment, particular regarding the completely hypothetical "demands" of a parent project, does not in any way speak well of you. Trust me, as someone who has gotten together, as far as possible, all the projects related to Christianity into one group, through one banner, and as someone who has seen the same be done quite successfully with WikiProject Military history, basically, that is all that is done. Your comments, and rush to a completely unfounded judgment, may well be one of the biggest objections to your group. WP:OWN seems to be a problem as well. Also, if you had actually read my comments, which I cannot assume based on your responses you did, I think you would note that this is pretty much what I said in them. Paranoia is not an appealing characteristic around here, unfortunately. John Carter (talk) 22:48, 17 September 2012 (UTC)
 * There is a major difference between merging all the projects related to Christianity in one WikiProject (which I am a member of, incidentally) and merging all the projects related to any type of political ideology into one WikiProject. I would really hope you realize that, because what you are suggesting is essentially akin to taking all the religion WikiProjects and merging them into one mega-project. There are a number of issues with doing that, as there are with politics projects. And yes, merging makes a project makes it subservient to the main project. Why else would you merge it if nothing changes?
 * Incidentally, WP:OWN applies only to articles - WikiProjects are not articles. I've been very vocal about being willing to talk about, discuss, and implement changes, and have been taken up on that offer a total of once - the proposal, discouraging POV requests for comment, got my support, incidentally. The main issue here is that there has not been any sort of concrete example of issues or ideas - we get radical ideas like your merging proposal and an RfC, but no practical ideas on how to solve any issues. I have been very civil in these discussions and I ask that you refrain from calling me paranoid and accusing me of not reading your comments. <font color="green" face="Mistral">Toa  <font color="green" face="Mistral">Nidhiki05  23:16, 17 September 2012 (UTC)

Taylor Swift singles
These users and IPs who keep changing Taylor's singles to promo singles are looking a lot like the same person. I'm unsure what to do with this. Taylor Swift discography got protected because of several IPs labeling singles as promo singles, and now, a user has done the exact same edit. I've seen you reverting them previously. Zac  14:46, 2 October 2012 (UTC)
 * If they are all making the same or very similar edits, requesting someone checkuser the accounts at Sockpuppet investigations would probably be the right thing to do. At least with the semi-protect on someone would have to register to vandalize it, but that will only stop so many people. <font color="green" face="Mistral">Toa  <font color="green" face="Mistral">Nidhiki05  14:58, 2 October 2012 (UTC)

WikiCup 2012 September newsletter


We're over half way through the final, and so it is less than a month until we know for certain our 2012 WikiCup champion. currently leads, followed by, and. However, we have no one resembling a breakaway leader, and so the competition is a long way from over. Next month's newsletter will feature a list of our winners (who are not necessarily only the finalists) and keep your eyes open for an article on the WikiCup in a future edition of The Signpost. The leaders are already on a par with last year's winners, but a long way from the huge scores seen in 2010. That said, a repeat of the competition from 2010 seems unlikely.

It is good to see that three-quarters of our finalists have already scored bonus points this round. This shows that, contrary to criticism that the WikiCup has received in the past, the competition does not merely incentivise the writing of trivial articles; instead, our top competitors are still spending their time contributing to high-importance articles, and bringing them to a high standard. This does a great service to the encyclopedia and its readers. Thank you, and good work!

The planning for next year's WikiCup is ongoing. Some straw polls have been opened concerning the scoring, and you can now sign up for next year's competition. As ever, 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. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

WikiCup 2012 October newsletter
The 2012 WikiCup has come to a close; congratulations to, our 2012 champion! Cwmhiraeth joins our exclusive club of previous winners: (2007),  (2008),  (2009),  (2010) and  (2011). Our final standings were as follows:



Prizes for first, second, third and fourth will be awarded, as will prizes for all those who reached the final eight. Every participant who scored in the competition will receive a ribbon of participation. In addition to the prizes based on placement, the following special prizes will be awarded based on high performance in particular areas of content creation. So that the finalists do not have an undue advantage, the prize is awarded to the competitor who scored the highest in any particular field in a single round.


 * The featured article award goes to, for four featured articles in the final round.
 * The good article award also goes to, for 19 good articles in the second round.
 * The list award goes to, for three featured lists in the final round.
 * The topic award goes to, for three good topics (with around 40 articles) in round 4.
 * The did you know award goes to, for well over 100 DYKs in the final round.
 * The news award goes to, for 10 in the news items in round 3.
 * The picture award goes to, for two featured pictures in round 2.
 * The reviewer award goes to both (14 reviews in round 1) and  (14 reviews in round 3).
 * Finally, for achieving an incredible bonus point total in the final round, and for bringing the top-importance article frog to featured status, a biostar has been awarded to.

Awards will be handed out in the coming days; please bear with us! This year's competition also saw fantastic contributions in all rounds, from newer Wikipedians contributing their first good or featured articles, right up to highly experienced Wikipedians chasing high scores and contributing to topics outside of their usual comfort zones. It would be impossible to name all of the participants who have achieved things to be proud of, but well done to all of you, and thanks! Wikipedia has certainly benefited from the work of this year's WikiCup participants.

Next year's WikiCup will begin in January. Currently, discussions and polls are open, and all contributions are welcome. You can also sign up for next year's competition. There will be no further newsletters this year, although brief notes may be sent out in December to remind everyone about the upcoming competition. It's been a pleasure to work with you all, and we hope to see you all in January! J Milburn (talk • email) and The ed17 (talk • email) 00:47, 1 November 2012 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (File:Voice Of Truth.ogg)
Thanks for uploading File:Voice Of Truth.ogg. 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 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. Hazard-Bot (talk) 04:12, 6 November 2012 (UTC)

Misunderstanding of due weight
I think your understanding of the "due weight" policy may be incorrect. Wikipedia policy goes by due weight covered in reliable sources, not by U.S. legislative laws. In mainstream reliable sources the highest-placing third-party nominee commonly is covered. Wikipedia should reflect that. <font color="grey" face="Tahoma">Pass a Method <font color="grey" face="papyrus">talk  20:50, 9 November 2012 (UTC)
 * If someone wants to know who got >1% of the vote, they can scroll to the bottom of the page. He isn't notable to be included in the lede because he failed to have a historically significant performance. 5% of the popular vote or one percent of the electoral vote is considered the threshold, and was the goal of the campaign, and he didn't even get 1%. Such a performance is not notable in any sort of historical sense - we don't even mention Nader in the 2000 article even though he likely swung that election. So no, including a weak performance by a minor candidate in the first paragraph of the lede, especially when not noting how he actually performed, is not following our policy on due weight. <font color="green" face="Mistral">Toa  <font color="green" face="Mistral">Nidhiki05  20:54, 9 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia is not written using our own logic. There are guidelines and there are policies.

 * It isn't written under yours. 1% of the vote is not significant enough to be included in the first paragraph of the lede, and hiding his actual vote total makes him seem bigger than he really was.
