Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Treats!, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Tony Duran. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

There's this wonderful tool for book citations...
Of course, you may already know about it, if so, sorry if I'm trying to teach you how to suck eggs (what a bizarre expression.) It's at. Or you may have tried it and not liked it. I've used it a lot when citing books that have Gbook previews; some people hate Gbook preview links, but it's also really useful if you have a hard copy and want to cite a book without worrying about correctly copying out ISBN numbers, publication year, the authors' names and the publishing house names, all that. For a dead tree or ebook cite you can put in the page number yourself - if for instance I'd wanted to do this for the Lilo & Stich reference in the Freedom from Want painting article just now, and had had access to the hard copy of the book or an e-book, I could've just plugged the title into this tool, using the Gbooks url for the title, and gotten back most of the info, except for the page number.

Tony Award Discussion
Hello - there is a discussion happening at the bottom of this page [] about if the nominations list for Tony Award for Best Featured Actress in a Play should have character names for all nominees. I think the character names are an important part of the list and should be there. The creator of the list refuses to add them because it is a "Featured List" of his. Let us know your thoughts on this. Thanks! HesioneHushabye (talk) 23:40, 13 August 2014 (UTC)

WikiProject Good articles Future GAN Backlog Drive
Hello everyone! Hope you've all been having a great summer!

TheQ Editor recently proposed the idea of having another Backlog Drive in either September/October or November/December of this year. For those of you who have participated in the past two drives you know I was the one who organized them, however, come September, this will be my most important year in school so I will not be able to coordinate this drive (if it happens). TheQ Editor has volunteered to be a coordinator for the drive. If any of you would like to co-coordinator, please notify TheQ Editor on his talk page.

If you would be interested in participating in a Backlog Drive sometime before the end of this year, please notify TheQ Editor. Also, make sure to specify what month(s) work best for you.

At the time this message was sent out, the backlog was at 520 nominations. Since May, the backlog has been steadily increasing and we are currently near an all time high. Even though the backlog will not disappear over one drive, this drive can lead to several others which will (hopefully) lead to the day where there is no longer a backlog.

As always, the more participants, the better, and everyone is encouraged to participate!

Emily Ratajkowski
Whether GQ is a top fashion magazine, or not, nevertheless it is a fact that Emily was the cover model for the July 2014 issue. Some people might claim that GQ is a top men's fashion magazine; that is a matter of opinion. But what is not opinion is that this model was on the cover. WP articles state facts, not opinions. Without objection, I am reinserting the reference. — Preceding unsigned comment added by American In Brazil (talk • contribs) 15:40, 17 August 2014 (UTC)

treats! magazine
Greetings. The contested sentence in the intro cannot remain on its own, appearing to express some objective assessment. The only way it can be reinserted is by attributing it to the person (or persons) who argue that said magazine "serves a niche," etc. I fail to see in the main text the relevant quote. In case you insist in having it back on, and moreover on the intro, you'd first have to re-word it, and back it up with a specific citation. Ours is not to reason niches. Cheers. -The Gnome (talk) 21:44, 19 August 2014 (UTC)
 * BTW, the article was a royal mess of blatant promotion until recently. (See clean up attempt here) I suggest we need to be a little extra careful with the text. -The Gnome (talk) 21:49, 19 August 2014 (UTC)

Hi, Tony. I see that you contributed to this article. Now, someone has removed this image, which is the only image concerning the 1993 revival.

Jane Addams Hull-House Museum Edit-a-thon
Hey Tony! The folks over at the Jane Addams Hull-House Museum at UIC are planning an edit-a-thon on Thursday Sept. 4th from 12-4 PM in an effort to build historical biographies related to social work and queer/trans/feminist activism. I just got off the phone with their Education Coordinator and offered to help to coordinate and plan the event, but I could use some help with training and getting new editors started, as they are expecting about 15-20 attendees (mostly students). Any chance you might be available to help? I, JethroBT drop me a line 18:40, 25 August 2014 (UTC)
 * , Do they validate parking or something? Also, put it up in a banner on WP:CHICAGO, we support that. Did you go to Wikimania?--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 19:56, 25 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Their website suggests they do not, but I literally just talked to them about an hour ago about the event. Any chance you can get to UIC-Halsted on the Blue Line and avoid parking?  Anyway, I'm meeting with them in-person on Wednesday morning this week to talk in more detail-- I can ask about parking validation for volunteers.  I'm building a meetup page right now, and will get a banner up by today.
 * Yes, I did go to Wikimania, and it was a really fantastic time. Great to connect with editors in person, see some of the interesting open-source projects going on, and get the word out about the mentorship space my team will be piloting later this year.  It was also fascinating to hear stories from editors involved in other-language Wikipedias; I've never really had a chance to engage projects outside of the English Wikipedia.  Also, some folks were encouraging us here in Chicago to think about starting Midwest user group, but now that I'm back here and looking ahead, I really don't have the time to organize such a thing right now!  I, JethroBT  drop me a line 20:09, 25 August 2014 (UTC)
 * I can probably get there on the blue line. Do you need me for the whole 4 hours? I imagine I would have to start my commute by about 11 if I have to be there at noon. Is there going to be lunch?--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 20:51, 25 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Glad to here how well Wikimania went.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 20:53, 25 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Yeah, lunch will be available (in the form of pizzas). I don't need you there for the whole four hours, but maybe from 12:00-3:00 would be good?  Also, bring your camera.  They allow no-flash photography of their exhibits!  I, JethroBT  drop me a line 22:14, 25 August 2014 (UTC)

 * 1) Wales has stated that he has posted a private Facebook video. I don't use Facebook and don't know how to verify this. I do know that a lot of people that I follow on Twitter post facebook links, but he has said his is friends only. I look at this like a fact without a WP:IC from a WP:RS. It is very sketchy. I might be swayed by some screenshots, but I am not sure. I will still accept evidence until Tuesday evening.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 06:58, 30 August 2014 (UTC)

GA Cup
Hello everyone! We hope you have all been having a great summer!

As we all know, the recent GAN Backlog Drives have not had any big impact on the backlog. Because of that, me (Dom497), Figureskatingfan, and TheQ Editor have worked on an idea that could possibly finally put a dent into the massive backlog. Now, I will admit, the idea isn't entirely ours as we have took the general idea of the WikiCup and brought it over to WikiProject Good Articles. But anyways, here's what we have in mind:

For all of you that do not know what the WikiCup is, it is an annual competition between several editors to see who can get the most Good Articles, Featured Article's, Did You Know's, etc. Based of this, we propose to you the GA Cup. This competition will only focus on reviewing Good articles.

For more info on the proposal, click here. As a FYI, the proposal page is not what the final product will look like (if you do go ahead with this idea). It will look very similar to WikiCup's page(s).

The discussion for the proposal will take place here. Please let us know if you are interested, have any concerns, things to consider, etc.

--Dom497, Figureskatingfan, and TheQ Editor

WikiCup 2014 August newsletter
The final of the 2014 WikiCup begins in a few short minutes! Our eight finalists are listed below, along with their placement in Round 4:


 * , a WikiCup newcomer, finished top of Pool A and was the round's highest scorer. Godot is a featured picture specialist, claiming large numbers of points due to high-quality scans of historical documents, especially banknotes.
 * 1) is a WikiCup veteran, having been a finalist every year since 2010. In the semi-final, he was Pool B's highest scorer. Cas's points primarily come from articles on the natural sciences.
 * 2) was Pool A's runner-up. Czar's points come mostly from content related to independent video games, including both articles and topics.
 * 3) was Pool B's runner-up. Another featured picture specialist, many of Adam's points come from the restoration of historical media. He has been a WikiCup finalist twice before.
 * 4) won the WikiCup in 2012 and 2013, and enters this final as the first wildcard. She focuses on biology-related articles, and has worked on several high-importance articles.
 * 5) is the second wildcard. George's points come primarily from meteorology-related articles. This year and last year, George was the first person in the competition to score.
 * , the third wildcard, was the 2010 champion and a finalist last year. His writes mostly on military history, especially naval history.
 * , the fourth and final wildcard, has participated in previous WikiCups, but not reached any finals. Bloom's points are mostly thanks to did you knows, featured lists and good articles related to sport and national symbols.

We say goodbye to this year's semi-finalists. ,, , , , and  have all performed well to reach this stage of the competition, and we hope they will all be joining us again next year.

There are two upcoming competitions unrelated to the WikiCup which may be of interest to those who receive this newsletter. The Stub Contest will run through September, and revolves around expanding stub articles, especially high-importance or old stubs. In addition, a proposal has been made for a new competition, the GA Cup, which the organisers plan to run next year. This competition is based on the WikiCup and aims to reduce the good article review backlog.

There is now a thread for brainstorming on how next year's WikiCup competition should work. Please come along and share your thoughts- What works? What doesn't work? What needs changing? Signups for next year's competition will be open soon; we will be in touch. If, at this stage of the competition, you are keen to help the with the WikiCup, please do what you can to participate in review processes. Our finalists will find things much easier if the backlogs at good article candidates, featured article candidates, featured picture candidates and the rest are kept at a minimum. As ever, 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. and 22:09, 31 August 2014 (UTC)
