Eso es todo, la primera ronda ha terminado, las inscripciones están cerradas y pasamos a la ronda 2. Cuarenta y siete competidores pasan a esta ronda (un poco menos de los 64 esperados), y estamos divididos aproximadamente en ocho grupos de seis. Los dos primeros de cada grupo pasarán a la ronda 3, y luego los 16 "comodines" con mayor puntuación en todos los grupos.
Se presentaron veintidós buenos artículos, incluidos tres de 
Cyclonebiskit ( envíos ) y dos de cada uno 
MPJ-DK ( presentaciones ), 
Hurricanehink ( envíos ), 
12george1 ( envíos ), y 
Cas Liber ( presentaciones ). Se reclamaron veintiún imágenes destacadas, incluidas 17 de 
Adam Cuerden ( presentaciones ) (el que obtuvo la puntuación más alta en la ronda 1). Treinta y un concursantes vieron aparecer sus DYK en la página principal, con una ventaja imponente (28) de 
Cwmhiraeth ( presentaciones ). Veintinueve participantes realizaron revisiones de GA con 
J Milburn ( envíos ) completando nueve.

Además de equivocarnos con el año en el boletín que se envió a principios de esta semana, no mencionamos (ya que el robot no informó) que Cas Liber ( envíos ) obtuvo el primer artículo destacado Persoonia terminalis de la Wikicup 2016.

Sus esfuerzos por ordenar el artículo son muy apreciados. Sin embargo, ¿puedo solicitar que no se agreguen más imágenes sin antes discutirlo? Solo se deben usar imágenes adicionales si agregan algo, por ejemplo, las piedras de Butler House, una excelente adición. La imagen de O'Connell saturaba mucho el texto y era de relevancia marginal. Probablemente haya docenas de imágenes que podrían incluirse en el artículo, pero no a costa de ahogar el texto; debemos ser cuidadosos. Brianboulton ( discusión ) 17:45 12 mar 2016 (UTC)
PD: Lo siento, acabo de ver tus mensajes en la página de discusión donde planteaste problemas relacionados con las imágenes, pero mi punto principal sigue siendo el mismo: debemos tener cuidado con lo que agregamos. Algunas de las imágenes que has producido podrían usarse en lugar de las que se encuentran actualmente en el artículo, en lugar de como complemento.

A primera vista, esto parece bastante simple. La mayor parte del daño más grave está en el cielo. El pincel corrector eliminará las manchas, el tampón de clonar (con borde difuso) puede ayudar con el lado derecho. De la pequeña parte del lado derecho que tiene detalles significativos, una herramienta de quemado de baja exposición ayudará a oscurecer las partes que se han desvanecido. Será necesario recortar un poco, ya que hay alrededor de m - bueno, no soy muy bueno calculando a ojo el recuento de píxeles, pero probablemente alrededor de una franja de 10 a 20 píxeles a la derecha sin datos; cualquier pequeña intrusión sin datos se puede reconstruir con el tampón de clonar. Para evitar eliminar partes de la imagen, me inclinaría a tratar de rellenar los trozos después de la rotación, para evitar eliminar partes. Sin embargo, primero intentaría obtener un escaneo de mayor resolución. Existe uno. Adam Cuerden ( discusión ) 10:21, 18 de marzo de 2016 (UTC)
Experimentalmente, he reemplazado la imagen del cuadro de información de 1927, que probablemente no es muy buena, por una imagen más antigua (1830). ¿Qué opinas? Esta imagen incluye tu recorte File:Nelson's Pillar plinth detail.jpg , aunque sin el detalle. Probé con tu recorte en el texto, pero se ve bastante pálido y no estoy seguro. Sin embargo, creo que tu recorte de la nueva entrada se ve muy bien. De nuevo, me gustaría que me dieras tu opinión. Brianboulton ( discusión ) 17:27 20 mar 2016 (UTC)
También he vuelto a mirar la fuente de Paula Murphy. Aunque sigo creyendo que hay poca información nueva allí, estoy de acuerdo contigo en que sería bueno citar una fuente académica de alta calidad. Así que he cambiado un par de las citas de Fallon/Kennedy por Murphy. También he añadido una breve cita del libro, sobre la estética de la estatua de Kirk. Todavía estoy dudando sobre el final del artículo: con qué poeta cerrarlo, principalmente. Podríamos sustituir a Clarke por Richard Murphy, pero no he leído el poema de Murphy más allá de las citas de la entrevista, y me preocupa un poco que la "voz cincelada" pueda ser vista como provocativa, una burla angloirlandesa. Hay que tener bastante cuidado, teniendo en cuenta el centenario. Brianboulton ( discusión ) 11:46, 21 de marzo de 2016 (UTC)

Han pasado ya cinco años y sigue siendo tan válido lo que te oí decir entonces: "cómo dejar que la animosidad y las aversiones personales se interpongan en el camino de un panorama más amplio... destruye la confianza". He propuesto un Magnificat para la FAC, por si te interesa. La imagen principal es de la ciudad donde vivo, y la acabo de ver después de la restauración de la iglesia. La iglesia se llama Union Church (si la traduces) porque allí fue posible una unión de los protestantes luteranos y reformados, en 1817, un modelo para otros. -- Gerda Arendt ( discusión ) 06:48 13 may 2017 (UTC)

Hola Carcharoth, acabo de llegar al monumento conmemorativo de guerra del regimiento Welch que figura en mi lista (¡los enlaces se están volviendo gradualmente azules!) y estaba pensando en nuestra conversación anterior sobre los ocho (?) cenotafios de Lutyens. Pensábamos que el de Norwich no era uno de los ocho, pero varias de las entradas de NHLE lo mencionan como uno de ellos: la entrada sobre el cenotafio de Rochdale , por ejemplo, dice "Este [Rochdale] es uno de los ocho cenotafios de Inglaterra diseñados por Lutyens. El primero que se erigió fue en Southampton en 1920; el último en Norwich , en 1927". Así que tenemos:
Además de Norwich y Cardiff . Creo que probablemente la mejor manera de abordar el asunto es seguir a HE al describir a Norwich como uno de los ocho de Inglaterra y tratar al Regimiento Welch como el noveno. ¿Qué opinas? Saludos, HJ Mitchell | ¿Qué opinas? 17:51, 21 de agosto de 2016 (UTC)

Arrastrado desde la página de discusión de Iridescent. Creo que la cadencia puede explicar la mayoría de las variaciones que estás viendo. Después de la muerte de su hermano mayor John en 1902, William Walrond era el hijo mayor vivo y heredero aparente, por lo que diferenció el escudo de su padre con una etiqueta. Si miras con atención el escudo de Neil Primrose , verás una medialuna en el punto central, superpuesta sobre el diseño, que muestra que era el segundo hijo de Rosebery. Francis McLaren era el hijo de Aberconway, y también tiene una medialuna para diferenciar, en este caso en la parte superior del escudo. Choess ( discusión ) 01:57, 13 de septiembre de 2016 (UTC)

Hola, Carcharoth. Este mensaje tiene como objetivo notificar a los administradores sobre cambios importantes en la política de protección.
La protección confirmada extendida (también conocida como "protección 30/500") es un nuevo nivel de protección de páginas que solo permite ediciones de cuentas con al menos 30 días de antigüedad y 500 ediciones. El derecho de usuario "confirmado extendido", que se asigna automáticamente , se creó con este fin. El nivel de protección se creó a raíz de esta discusión de la comunidad con la intención principal de aplicar diversos recursos de arbitraje que prohibían a los editores que no superaban el umbral de "30 días/500 ediciones" editar ciertas áreas temáticas.
En julio y agosto de 2016, una solicitud de comentarios estableció un consenso para el uso comunitario del nuevo nivel de protección. Los administradores están autorizados a aplicar la protección confirmada extendida para combatir cualquier forma de alteración (por ejemplo, vandalismo, manipulación, guerra de ediciones, etc.) sobre cualquier tema, sujeto a las siguientes condiciones:
Por favor, revise la política de protección cuidadosamente antes de utilizar este nuevo nivel de protección en las páginas. Gracias.

Hola,
Tenga en cuenta que la autenticación de dos factores basada en TOTP ahora está disponible para todos los administradores. En vista de las cuentas comprometidas recientemente, se le recomienda que agregue esta capa adicional de seguridad a su cuenta. Puede habilitarla en su página de preferencias en la pestaña "Perfil de usuario" en la sección "Información básica". Para obtener instrucciones básicas sobre cómo habilitar la autenticación de dos factores, consulte la página de ayuda en desarrollo para obtener información adicional. Importante : asegúrese de registrar la clave de autenticación de dos factores y las claves de un solo uso. Si pierde su autenticación de dos factores y no tiene las claves, es posible que su cuenta no pueda recuperarse. Además, se le recomienda utilizar una contraseña única y autenticación de dos factores para la cuenta de correo electrónico asociada con su cuenta de Wikimedia. Esta medida ayudará a proteger su cuenta de restablecimientos de contraseña maliciosos. Los comentarios, preguntas e inquietudes pueden dirigirse al hilo en el tablón de anuncios de los administradores . Entrega de mensajes de MediaWiki ( discusión ) 20:32, 12 de noviembre de 2016 (UTC)
Hola Carcharoth.
Se ha creado un nuevo grupo de usuarios, New Page Reviewer , con el objetivo de mejorar en gran medida el nivel de control de las nuevas páginas. El derecho de usuario puede ser otorgado por cualquier administrador de PERM . Se recomienda encarecidamente que los administradores miren más allá del simple umbral numérico y se aseguren de que los candidatos tengan las habilidades de comunicación requeridas y un conocimiento avanzado de notabilidad y eliminación. Los administradores se incluyen automáticamente en este derecho de usuario.
Se prevé que este derecho de usuario reducirá significativamente la carga de trabajo de los administradores que supervisan el rendimiento de los controladores. Sin embargo, debido a la complejidad de la implementación, es posible que se hayan otorgado algunos derechos que más tarde deban retirarse, por lo que aún se necesitará algo de ayuda en cierta medida para descubrir etiquetas de eliminación aplicadas incorrectamente o páginas inapropiadas que escapan a la atención de los revisores menos experimentados y, sobre todo, etiquetado apresurado y mordaz para mantenimiento. Las advertencias para el usuario están disponibles aquí, pero muy a menudo un mensaje personalizado amigable funciona mejor.
Si tienes alguna pregunta sobre este derecho de usuario, no dudes en unirte a nosotros en WT:NPR . (Enviado a todos los administradores) Entrega de mensajes de MediaWiki ( discusión ) 13:47 15 nov 2016 (UTC)
Hola, Carcharoth. La votación para las elecciones del Comité de Arbitraje de 2016 está abierta desde el lunes 21 de noviembre a las 00:00 hasta el domingo 4 de diciembre a las 23:59 para todos los usuarios desbloqueados que hayan registrado una cuenta antes del miércoles 28 de octubre de 2016 a las 00:00 y hayan realizado al menos 150 ediciones en el espacio principal antes del domingo 1 de noviembre de 2016 a las 00:00.
El Comité de Arbitraje es el panel de editores responsable de llevar a cabo el proceso de arbitraje de Wikipedia . Tiene la autoridad de imponer soluciones vinculantes a las disputas entre editores, principalmente en el caso de disputas de conducta graves que la comunidad no ha podido resolver. Esto incluye la autoridad para imponer prohibiciones de sitios , prohibiciones de temas , restricciones de edición y otras medidas necesarias para mantener nuestro entorno de edición. La política de arbitraje describe las funciones y responsabilidades del Comité con mayor detalle.

Gracias, Carcharoth, por tus interesantes comentarios sobre la lista de mujeres egiptólogas de la AfD y por tu trabajo de seguimiento sobre Wikidata. Veo que una vez que te acostumbraste, pudiste avanzar muy rápidamente. ¿Sabías que cada semana se crean automáticamente miles de artículos sobre mujeres en la wiki galesa? Consulta los detalles aquí . Me parece que es hora de hacer una revisión seria de la política de Wikimedia, el desarrollo de Wikidata y los problemas potenciales en este sentido. Como debes saber, si bien Wikidata contiene una gran cantidad de información útil, la mayor parte no tiene referencias y se basa principalmente en los artículos en los distintos idiomas de Wikimedia. Si se va a utilizar como fuente para crear artículos, incluso listas, será necesario prestar mucha más atención al control de calidad. Durante bastante tiempo, he estado sugiriendo que Wikidata podría usarse como fuente para crear nuevas biografías en la Wikipedia en inglés, pero sigo pensando que hasta que se mejore la calidad, solo debería usarse como fuente para un mayor desarrollo por parte de editores humanos. Tal vez podrías aconsejarme sobre dónde se podría continuar mejor esta discusión. -- Ipigott ( discusión ) 15:14 26 dic 2016 (UTC)
Gracias a ambos por sus comentarios. Voy a dejar esto de lado. Volveré a consultar, pero ahora tengo que trabajar en otras áreas. Carcharoth (discusión) 12:32 27 dic 2016 (UTC)
¡Se acaba el tiempo para votar por el Historiador Militar y el Revelación del Año ! Si todavía no has emitido tu voto, considera hacerlo pronto.

Hola Carcharoth, ¿tienes acceso a un escáner o algo similar? Me encantaría subir el dibujo de la página 61 de Lutyens and the Great War para usarlo en el artículo de la ciudad de York, pero no tengo acceso a ningún equipo de digitalización. Saludos, HJ Mitchell | ¿Qué opinas? 23:12, 7 de enero de 2017 (UTC)
Carcharoth, si Lutyens tenía los derechos de autor, entonces es cómodamente de dominio público; si el consejo lo tenía, es más complicado, pero casi con toda seguridad es de dominio público en los Estados Unidos (por lo que podría subirse localmente a enwiki) y muy probablemente también en el Reino Unido (lo que significaría que podría subirse a Commons). Entiendo tus reservas, pero no puedo imaginar a nadie reclamando la propiedad de los derechos de autor en virtud de imprimirlo en un libro. La National Portrait Gallery hizo un esfuerzo considerable para crear fotos de sus pinturas, por ejemplo, e incluso ellos terminaron discutiendo el tema hasta llegar a un punto muerto al final.

No sé si estás interesado, pero te invito a que escribas reseñas para el artículo sobre el Reino de Singapura - Wikipedia:Revisión por pares/Reino de Singapura/archivo1 . La razón principal es que creo que necesita una revisión, pero puede que no sea fácil debido a la gran cantidad de material que ya está escrito, por lo que me gustaría recibir sugerencias (o incluso ediciones) que puedan mejorarlo. El problema principal es la incertidumbre en la historia y lo que parece ser una distorsión de la narrativa (algunos puntos planteados en Talk:Kingdom of Singapura ), y los historiadores creen que muchos de los reyes podrían ser míticos. Ninguno de los que figuran en la lista de revisores parece estar interesado en esta área en particular, pero espero que el tema pueda estar dentro del ámbito de algo "oscuro" que te interese.

Hola a todos. Les informamos que durante marzo de 2017, el Wikiproyecto de Historia militar llevará a cabo su campaña March Madness . Se trata de una campaña de material atrasado que se centra en varias áreas clave:
Al igual que en campañas anteriores de Milhist, se otorgan puntos por trabajar en artículos en áreas específicas y se otorgan premios Barnstar al final por diferentes niveles de logro.
La campaña está abierta a todos los wikipedistas, no solo a los miembros del proyecto de historia militar, aunque solo se considerarán elegibles los trabajos sobre artículos que se enmarquen (en términos generales) en el ámbito de la historia militar. Los interesados pueden encontrar más información aquí y los miembros también pueden inscribirse como participantes en esa página.
La campaña comienza a las 00:01 UTC del 1 de marzo y se extenderá hasta las 23:59 UTC del 31 de marzo de 2017, así que regístrese ahora.
Para los coordinadores de Milhist. Saludos, AustralianRupert ( discusión ) y MediaWiki message delivery ( discusión ) 07:24 26 feb 2017 (UTC)
Y así termina la primera ronda de la competición, con 4 puntos necesarios para clasificarse para la ronda 2. Habrían sido 5 puntos, pero cuando se permitió a un participante tardío unirse al concurso en febrero, se hizo una promesa de que su inclusión no resultaría en la exclusión de ningún otro competidor. Para lograr esto, los seis participantes que obtuvieron la puntuación positiva más baja de 4 puntos se han agregado a las 64 personas que de otro modo se habrían clasificado. Como resultado, algunos de los grupos tienen nueve concursantes en lugar de ocho. Nuestros cuatro mejores puntajes en la ronda 1 fueron:
Cas Liber , el ganador del año pasado, lideró el campo con dos artículos destacados sobre aves y una puntuación total de 674.
Iry-Hor , un recién llegado a WikiCup, llegó a continuación con un artículo destacado, un buen artículo y un total de 282 puntos de bonificación para una puntuación de 517. Todos estos puntos vinieron del artículo Nyuserre Ini , un faraón del Antiguo Egipto,
1989 , otro recién llegado a WikiCup, quedó en tercer lugar con 240. 1989 obtuvo puntos por dos listas destacadas y un buen artículo relacionado con series de anime y comedia, todos los cuales recibieron puntos de bonificación.
Peacemaker67 compartió el tercer puesto con cinco buenos artículos y trece buenas reseñas de artículos, la mayoría sobre buques de guerra. También es nuevo en la competencia.La mayor cantidad de DYKs fueron presentados por Vivvt y The C of E , quienes reclamaron siete cada uno, y MBlaze Lightning logró ocho artículos en ITN. Carbrera y Peacemaker67 reclamaron cinco GA cada uno y Krishna Chaitanya Velaga estaba muy por delante en cuanto a GARs, habiendo revisado 32. Aún no hay imágenes destacadas, temas destacados o buenos temas, pero hemos logrado tres artículos destacados y un espléndido total de cincuenta buenos artículos.
Así que, pasemos a la segunda ronda. Recuerde que cualquier contenido promocionado después del final de la ronda 1 pero antes del comienzo de la ronda 2 puede reclamarse en la ronda 2. Las invitaciones para trabajos de escritura colaborativos o cualquier otro debate sobre trabajos potencialmente interesantes siempre son bienvenidas en la página de discusión de WikiCup. Recuerde que, si dos o más competidores de WikiCup han realizado un trabajo significativo en un artículo, todos pueden reclamar puntos por igual.
Si le preocupa que su nominación (ya sea un buen candidato para un artículo, un proceso destacado o cualquier otra cosa) no reciba las revisiones necesarias, inclúyala en Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews . Si desea ayudar con la WikiCup, ¡haga su parte para ayudar a reducir los retrasos en las revisiones! Las preguntas son bienvenidas en Wikipedia talk:WikiCup , y los jueces están disponibles en sus páginas de discusión o por correo electrónico. ¡Buena suerte!

La segunda ronda de la competición ya ha finalizado y se necesitan menos de 100 puntos para clasificarse para la ronda 3. YellowEvan pasó a la siguiente ronda con 98 puntos, pero tenemos que despedirnos de los treinta competidores que no alcanzaron este umbral. Gracias por las útiles contribuciones que han hecho a la Copa y a Wikipedia. Nuestros máximos anotadores en la ronda 2 fueron:
Cas Liber lideró el campo con cinco artículos destacados, cuatro sobre aves y uno sobre astronomía, y una puntuación total de 2049, la mitad de los cuales provino de puntos de bonificación. 1989 quedó en segundo lugar con 826 puntos, 466 de los cuales fueron puntos de bonificación. 1989 obtuvo puntos principalmente relacionados con anime y artículos relacionados con Japón. Peacemaker67 obtuvo el tercer lugar con dos FA, un GA y siete GAR, principalmente en buques navales o personal militar, obteniendo 543 puntos.Vivvt presentó la mayor cantidad de DYK (30) y MBlaze Lightning logró 13 artículos en ITN. Carbrera solicitó 11 GA y Argento Surfer realizó la mayor cantidad de GAR, habiendo revisado 11. Hasta ahora hemos logrado 38 artículos destacados y 132 espléndidos artículos buenos. Cabe destacar que hasta ahora se han logrado 279 GAR, más del doble de la cantidad de GA.
Así que, pasemos a la tercera ronda. Recuerde que cualquier contenido promocionado después del final de la ronda 2 pero antes del comienzo de la ronda 3 puede reclamarse en la ronda 3. Recuerde también que debe reclamar sus puntos dentro de los 10 días posteriores a haberlos "ganado". Las invitaciones para trabajos de escritura colaborativos o cualquier otro debate sobre trabajos potencialmente interesantes siempre son bienvenidas en la página de discusión de WikiCup. Recuerde que, si dos o más competidores de WikiCup han realizado un trabajo significativo en un artículo, todos pueden reclamar puntos por igual.

La tercera ronda de la competición ha finalizado en un frenesí de actividad de último minuto, ya que se necesitaban 288 puntos para clasificarse para la ronda 4. Fue una ronda muy competitiva en la que todos los participantes, excepto cuatro, superaron los 106 puntos necesarios para pasar a la ronda 4 el año pasado. Coemgenus y Freikorp empataron con 288 puntos, y a ambos se les permitió continuar, por lo que la ronda 4 ahora tiene un grupo de ocho competidores y uno de nueve.
En la tercera ronda, MPJ-DK logró un tema destacado de 26 temas , así como 5 listas destacadas y 13 artículos destacados. PanagiotisZois y SounderBruce lograron sus primeros artículos destacados. Carbrera lideró la puntuación de GA con 10, Tachs logró 17 DYK y MBlaze Lightning 10 artículos en las noticias . Hubo 167 DYK, 93 GAR y 82 GA en total, siendo esta última cifra mayor que la cantidad de GA en la segunda ronda, cuando participaron el doble de personas. A pesar de que los concursantes realizaron más GAR de los que lograron GA, todavía hubo cierta frustración por el tiempo que se tardó en revisar los artículos.
Al comenzar la ronda 4, nos despedimos de los quince competidores que no lograron clasificarse; gracias por las útiles contribuciones que han hecho a la Copa y a Wikipedia. Recuerde que cualquier contenido promocionado después del final de la ronda 3 pero antes del inicio de la ronda 4 se puede reclamar en la ronda 4. Recuerde también que debe reclamar sus puntos dentro de los 10 días posteriores a su "obtención" (algunas personas no cumplieron con esta regla y los puntos se eliminaron).
Si te preocupa que tu nominación, ya sea por un buen artículo, un proceso destacado o cualquier otra cosa, no reciba las críticas necesarias, inclúyela en Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews . Sería de gran ayuda si esta lista se pudiera limpiar de cualquier elemento que ya no sea relevante. Si quieres ayudar con la WikiCup, ¡haz tu parte para reducir los retrasos en las críticas!

La ronda 4 de la WikiCup ha finalizado y avanzamos hacia la ronda final. En la ronda 4, se logró un total de 12 FA, 3 FL, 44 GA, 3 FL, 79 DYK, 1 ITN y 42 GAR, sin FP ni FT esta vez. Felicitaciones a Peacemaker67 por el Buen Tema de la Marina Real Yugoslava de 36 artículos, y los 12 artículos destacados logrados por Cas Liber (5), Vanamonde93 (3), Peacemaker67 (2), Adityavagarwal (1) y 12george1 (1). Con un FA que anota 200 puntos, y puntos de bonificación disponibles además de esto, es probable que los FA tengan un papel importante en la ronda final. Mientras tanto, Yellow Evan , un especialista en tifones, contribuyó con 12 DYK y 10 GA, mientras que Adityavagarwal y Freikorp encabezaron la lista de GAR con 8 revisiones cada uno. Al entrar en la ronda final, nos quedan ocho concursantes y nos gustaría agradecerles a aquellos que han sido eliminados por las útiles contribuciones que han hecho a la Copa y a Wikipedia. La puntuación más baja necesaria para llegar a la ronda 5 fue 305 y creo que podemos esperar una ronda final muy competitiva.

Hola Carcharoth, hace mucho que no nos vemos. Espero que estés bien. Tengo un artículo que podría interesarte y agradecería que otro par de ojos lo revisaran antes de decidir qué hacer con él. Se trata de la estatua ecuestre de Edward Horner en Mells (el cuñado de Raymond Asquith). Es un poco diferente de mis artículos anteriores, así que me encantaría escuchar tus opiniones (o las de tus acosadores) al respecto. ¿Hay algo que creas que debería hacer de manera diferente, algo que esté ahí y no debería estar o algo que parezca que falta? ¿Te parece sensata la estructura? ¡Gracias! HJ Mitchell | Penny por tus opiniones. 08:24, 11 de octubre de 2017 (UTC)
Espero poder viajar a Mells el próximo fin de semana, sobre todo para sacar mejores fotos del monumento conmemorativo de la guerra . Tenía la esperanza de ir al Frente Occidental este año, pero no ha sido así y el tiempo ahora es demasiado inestable para hacer fotografías al aire libre; con un poco de suerte, podría ir allí la próxima primavera. Wikimedia UK se ha ofrecido amablemente a aportar algo de dinero para el viaje, presumiblemente porque producirá buenos resultados fácilmente medibles y pueden completar los ejercicios de marcar casillas de la WMF, pero es una situación en la que todos salen ganando. Las catedrales de Amiens y Cambrai están en lo más alto de mi lista de objetivos, y no me voy sin ver Etaples, Thiepval y algunas de las otras obras importantes de Lutyens y algunas de otros arquitectos (Vim Ridge, la Puerta de Menin, Tyne Cot, etc.). Estoy pensando en hacerlo en una línea que va desde Etaples hasta Brujas (Brujas por la cerveza, ¡en lugar de por los monumentos conmemorativos de la guerra!). ¿Qué más hay en tu lista? Serías bienvenido a acompañarme si quisieras; Creo que el "plan" (¡en sentido amplio!) es que Thryduulf va a alquilar un coche y me llevará por unos días y yo voy a pagar la cuenta. HJ Mitchell | ¿Un centavo por tu opinión? 06:39, 21 de octubre de 2017 (UTC)

Así que la WikiCup 2017 ha llegado a su fin. Felicitaciones al ganador, a los otros finalistas y a todos los que participaron. Se inscribieron 177 concursantes, más de lo habitual, pero no todos enviaron sus trabajos en la primera ronda. ¿Los editores se sintieron atraídos por los premios en efectivo ofrecidos por primera vez este año, o fueron irrelevantes? ¿Es necesario cambiar las reglas y la puntuación para la WikiCup 2018?

Saludos,
La "historia militar" es uno de los temas más importantes cuando se habla de la suma de todo el conocimiento humano. Para apoyar a los colaboradores interesados en el área en las Wikipedias en varios idiomas, tenemos la intención de formar un grupo de usuarios. También proporciona una plataforma para compartir las mejores prácticas entre los historiadores militares y varios proyectos relacionados con lo militar en las Wikipedias. Se ha llevado a cabo una discusión inicial entre los coordinadores y los miembros del WikiProject Historia Militar en la Wikipedia en inglés. Ahora esta discusión se ha llevado a Meta-Wiki. Se solicita a los colaboradores interesados en el área de la historia militar que compartan sus comentarios y den sugerencias en Talk:Discussion para incubar un grupo de usuarios para los historiadores militares de Wikipedia.

Hola Carcharoth, espero que todo esté bien. Trabajar junto a ti y Awickert en David A. Johnston fue uno de los aspectos más destacados de mi trabajo de contenido en Wikipedia, por lo que me encantaría recibir tus comentarios sobre el artículo de Harry R. Truman . Espero poder llevarlo a FAC, pero primero quiero asegurarme de que sea completo y esté bien escrito. ceran thor 21:48, 1 de enero de 2018 (UTC)

¡Hola! He pedido copias de la autobiografía de Munnings y At Duty's Call (ambas tenían un precio bastante razonable en Amazon Marketplace). ¿Hay alguna otra que creas que debería conseguir? La vida real se ha calentado inesperadamente con una combinación de trabajo y falta de sueño y un amigo muy querido que necesita mucho apoyo, así que no he tenido tanto tiempo para Wikipedia como esperaba. Puede que tenga la oportunidad de hacer algún progreso con el Horner FAC a mitad de semana y el próximo fin de semana y, con suerte, el servicio normal o algo parecido se reanudará en un par de semanas. Me pregunto si el libro de Munnings nos contará cómo conoció a Lutyens; parece ser un tema recurrente con Lutyens que hay pocos registros de cómo conoció a sus colaboradores y contactos (un problema que encontré al hacer el memorial de RND; no creo que haya ni siquiera un registro de cómo él y Fabian Ware se conocieron por primera vez, ya que recuerdo que la primera carta conocida entre ellos sugería que ya se conocían). ¡Sin duda sabía cómo hacer amigos útiles e influyentes!

Intenté responder a tu comentario sobre cómo se introducen los botones de opción para los mapas, pero otro editor lo eliminó sin comentarios. Así que aquí lo tienes, en caso de que te sea de ayuda. — Comentario anterior sin firmar añadido por 213.205.198.143 ( discusión ) 10:45, 15 de febrero de 2018 (UTC)
Un artículo clásico con pocas fuentes. Estuvo en el RAMC durante la Primera Guerra Mundial, por eso pensé que podrías tener mejores fuentes. He añadido algo de lo que he podido entender en la página de discusión: es más un médico de familia médica que un político. Charles Matthews ( discusión ) 19:29 20 feb 2018 (UTC)

Hola Carcharoth, aquí están las imágenes relacionadas con GFF Corbet. Su lápida de CWGC, como se indica, se encuentra en el cementerio civil de Brookwood, en la tumba privada que se menciona en los documentos de CWGC. Es interesante que la referencia a la tumba de CWGC no tenga relación con la ubicación en el cementerio civil y se necesita una búsqueda por separado en los registros del distrito. Espero que sean útiles. Son archivos bastante grandes, ya que es más fácil leer las inscripciones cuando se ven al 100%. WyrdLight ( discusión ) 18:46 27 feb 2018 (UTC)
Y así termina la primera ronda de la competencia, con 4 puntos necesarios para calificar para la ronda 2. Con 53 concursantes clasificando, los grupos para la ronda 2 son ligeramente más pequeños de lo habitual, con los dos líderes de cada grupo clasificando para la ronda 3, así como los dieciséis mejores usuarios restantes.
Nuestros máximos goleadores en la primera ronda fueron:
Aoba47 lideró el campo con un artículo destacado, 8 buenos artículos y 42 GAR, dando un total de 666 puntos.
FrB.TG , un recién llegado a WikiCup, llegó después con 600 puntos, obtenidos gracias a un artículo destacado y una gran cantidad de puntos de bonificación. Ssven2 , otro recién llegado a WikiCup, quedó en tercer lugar con 403 puntos, obtenidos de un artículo destacado, una lista destacada, un buen artículo y doce GAR. Ceranthor , Numeroso unovedante ,
Carrerera ,
Farang Rak Tham y
Los freaks de Cartoon Network obtuvieron más de 200 puntos, pero al igual que el resto de concursantes, ahora deben comenzar de nuevo desde cero. Un buen logro fueron los 193 GAR que realizaron los concursantes de WikiCup, que se comparan muy favorablemente con los 54 GA que lograron.Recuerde que cualquier contenido promocionado después del final de la ronda 1 pero antes del comienzo de la ronda 2 puede reclamarse en la ronda 2. Las invitaciones para trabajos de escritura colaborativa o cualquier otra discusión de trabajos potencialmente interesantes siempre son bienvenidas en la página de discusión de WikiCup. Recuerde, si dos o más competidores de WikiCup han realizado un trabajo significativo en un artículo, todos pueden reclamar puntos. Si le preocupa que su nominación, ya sea en Good Article Candidates, un proceso destacado o en cualquier otro lugar, no reciba las revisiones necesarias, inclúyala en Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews .
Si quieres ayudar con la WikiCup, ¡haz tu parte para ayudar a reducir los retrasos en las revisiones!

Hola a todos. Les informamos que durante abril de 2018, el Wikiproyecto de Historia militar llevará a cabo su campaña anual de eliminación de trabajos atrasados. Esta campaña se centrará en varias áreas clave:
Al igual que en campañas anteriores de Milhist, se otorgan puntos por trabajar en artículos en áreas específicas y se otorgan premios Barnstar al final por diferentes niveles de logro.
La campaña está abierta a todos los wikipedistas, no sólo a los miembros del proyecto de historia militar, aunque sólo se considerarán elegibles los trabajos sobre artículos que se enmarquen (en líneas generales) en el ámbito de la historia militar. Este año, el proyecto de historia militar quiere dar una bienvenida específica a los miembros de Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red , y nos gustaría animar a todos los participantes a que consideren trabajar para ayudar a mejorar nuestra cobertura de las mujeres en el ejército. Sin embargo, este no es el único objetivo del maratón de edición, y hay aspectos que esperamos que atraigan a casi todo el mundo.
La campaña comenzará a las 00:01 UTC del 1 de abril y se extenderá hasta las 23:59 UTC del 30 de abril de 2018. Los interesados en participar pueden inscribirse aquí .

Hola Carcharoth, disculpas por desaparecer de la faz de la Tierra durante los últimos meses. Muchas gracias por todo lo que hiciste para ayudar a que el Horner FAC llegara a su conclusión; te mereces un crédito de co-nominador por tu arduo trabajo. Estoy (en cierto modo) de regreso y estoy pensando en recoger los monumentos de guerra nuevamente, aunque el tiempo es un poco limitado. Estaba mirando el monumento de la RND y vi que pasó su ACR (¡de nuevo, en parte gracias a que me cubriste!). Me preguntaba si sentías que todos tus comentarios habían sido abordados allí y si tuviste la oportunidad de hacer algo con las fotos históricas. Probablemente haya lugar para un par de fotos más en el artículo con una colocación cuidadosa. Al volver a leerlo, lo único que me llama la atención es que probablemente deberíamos mencionar que la madre de Rupert Brooke estuvo en la ceremonia (parece un detalle bastante importante dada la cobertura que él y su trabajo reciben en el artículo). Todo lo mejor, HJ Mitchell | ¿Penny por tus pensamientos? 14:42 2 abril 2018 (UTC)

Estoy trabajando en un estudio sobre las motivaciones políticas y cómo afectan a la edición. Me gustaría pedirle que responda una encuesta. La encuesta no le llevará más de 1 o 2 minutos. Sus respuestas se mantendrán privadas. Nuestro proyecto está documentado en https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Carcharoth/Research:Wikipedia_%2B_Politics.
Enlace de su encuesta: http://uchicago.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_9S3JByWf57fXEkR?Q_DL=56np5HpEZWkMlr7_9S3JByWf57fXEkR_MLRP_6KjSjpLoe8kdpVr&Q_CHL=gl
Le pido que participe en este estudio porque usted es editor frecuente de páginas de Wikipedia de interés político. Nos gustaría conocer sus experiencias en el trato con editores de diferentes orientaciones políticas.

El WikiProyecto Portales se ha reiniciado.
Estás invitado a unirte y participar en el esfuerzo por revitalizar y mejorar el sistema del Portal y todos los portales que lo componen.
Hay secciones en la página WikiProject dedicadas a tareas (incluidas también las tareas de WikiGnome) y áreas en la página de discusión para discutir la mejora y automatización de las distintas características de los portales.
Se han presentado muchas quejas en la convocatoria para que se eliminen todos los portales, señalando los diversos problemas que presentan. Dicen que muchos portales no reciben mantenimiento, o que han quedado obsoletos, que son inútiles, etc. Muchos de los votos positivos indican que los editores que los publicaron simplemente ya no creen en el potencial de los portales.
Es hora de cambiar todo eso. Démosles razones para creer en los portales revitalizándolos.
La mejor respuesta a una propuesta de eliminación es arreglar la página propuesta. Cuanto más avanzado esté el esfuerzo por mejorar los portales cuando la convocatoria haya concluido, más razones en contra de los portales dejarán de aplicarse. Las convocatorias suelen durar 30 días. Quedan 19 días de esta. Veamos cuántos portales podemos actualizar y mejorar antes de que se cierre la convocatoria y más allá.
Un WikiProyecto saludable dedicado a apoyar y mantener portales puede ser el argumento más fuerte de todos para no eliminarlo.
Puede que incluso nos sorprendamos a nosotros mismos y superemos todas las expectativas. Quién sabe lo que seremos capaces de lograr en lo que puede convertirse en la mayor Wikicolaboración en años.
Vamos a hacer esto.
¡Nos vemos en el WikiProject!
Atentamente, — El Transhumanista 10:19, 21 de abril de 2018 (UTC)
La segunda ronda de la WikiCup 2018 ya ha finalizado. La mayoría de los participantes que avanzaron a la siguiente ronda obtuvieron más de 100 puntos, pero dos con solo 10 puntos lograron pasar a la ronda 3. Nuestros máximos anotadores en la última ronda fueron:
Cas Liber , nuestro ganador en 2016, con tres artículos destacados.svg/1280px-Flag_of_Texas_(1839%E2%80%931879).svg.png){kind=small}
Iazyges , con nueve buenos artículos y muchos puntos extra Yashthepunisher , concursante por primera vez, con dos listas destacadas
SounderBruce , finalista el año pasado, con diecisiete buenos artículos sobre temas Nombre de usuario único , un concursante por primera vez, con catorce DYK
Muboshgu , un competidor experimentado, con tres ITN y
Courcelles , otro concursante debutante, con veintisiete GARHasta ahora, los concursantes han logrado doce artículos destacados entre ellos y un espléndido total de 124 buenos artículos. Cabe destacar que se han completado 326 GAR durante el transcurso de la WikiCup 2018, por lo que la acumulación de artículos en espera de la revisión de GA se ha reducido como resultado de las actividades de los concursantes. Al entrar en la tercera ronda, recuerda que cualquier contenido promocionado después del final de la ronda 2 pero antes del comienzo de la ronda 3 se puede reclamar en la ronda 3. Recuerda también que debes reclamar tus puntos dentro de los 14 días posteriores a la "obtención" de los mismos. Al realizar GAR, asegúrate de comprobar que se cumplen todos los criterios de GA; la mayoría de los GAR están bien, pero algunos han sido un poco escasos.
Si le preocupa que su nominación (ya sea en una convocatoria de buenos artículos, en un proceso de selección o en cualquier otro lugar) no reciba las críticas necesarias, inclúyala en Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (recuerde eliminar su inclusión cuando ya no sea necesaria). Las preguntas son bienvenidas en Wikipedia talk:WikiCup y los jueces están disponibles en sus páginas de discusión o por correo electrónico. ¡Buena suerte!

El debate sobre la solicitud de comentarios para eliminar los portales se cerró el 12 de mayo con la declaración "Existe un fuerte consenso en contra de eliminar o incluso desestimar los portales en este momento". Esto fue posible gracias a que usted y otros acudieron al rescate. Gracias por hablar.
Por cierto, el número actual de Signpost presenta un artículo con entrevistas sobre el RfC y el Portals WikiProject .
También me gustaría informarles que el WikiProyecto Portales está trabajando arduamente para asegurarse de que su apoyo a los portales no haya sido en vano. Con ese fin, hemos estado trabajando diligentemente para innovar los portales, mientras los construimos, actualizamos, mejoramos y mantenemos. El proyecto ha crecido hasta tener 80 miembros hasta ahora y se ha convertido en un hervidero de actividad.
Nuestros dos objetivos principales en este momento son automatizar los portales (en términos de actualización, rotación y selección de contenido) y desarrollar un modelo de una sola página para hacer obsoletas y eliminar la mayoría de las 150.000 subpáginas del espacio de nombres del portal migrando sus funciones a las páginas base del portal, utilizando tecnologías como la transclusión selectiva. No dude en unirse a cualquiera de los muchos hilos de desarrollo en la página de discusión de WikiProject , o simplemente pasar a ver cómo lo estamos haciendo. Si tiene alguna pregunta sobre portales o desarrollo de portales, ese es el mejor lugar para preguntarla.
Si desea mantenerse al tanto de las novedades en los portales, tenga en cuenta que los miembros del proyecto reciben actualizaciones en sus páginas de discusión. Las actualizaciones también se publican aquí , para su comodidad.
Nuevamente, no podemos agradecerle lo suficiente por su apoyo a los portales y esperamos que se sienta orgulloso de su decisión. Atentamente, — The Transhumanist 08:51, 25 de mayo de 2018 (UTC)

The third round of the 2018 WikiCup has now come to an end. The 16 users who made it to the fourth round had at least 227 points. Our top scorers in round 3 were:
Courcelles, a first time contestant, with 1756 points, a tally built largely on 27 GAs related to the Olympics Cas Liber, our winner in 2016, with two featured articles and three GAs on natural history and astronomy topics SounderBruce, a finalist last year, with a variety of submissions related to transport in the state of WashingtonContestants managed 7 featured articles, 4 featured lists, 120 good articles, 1 good topic, 124 DYK entries, 15 ITN entries, and 132 good article reviews. Over the course of the competition, contestants have completed 458 GA reviews, in comparison to 244 good articles submitted for review and promoted. As we enter the fourth round, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 3 but before the start of round 4 can be claimed in round 4. Please also remember 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. Please also remember that all submissions must meet core Wikipedia policies, regardless of the review process; several submissions, particularly in abstruse or technical areas, have needed additional work to make them completely verifiable.
If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia: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!

Hello from California! I found your name listed at Category:Wikipedia requested photographs in London and I have a photo request I hope you find interesting. I'm currently in the process of revamping the article for Rock Bottom, the 1974 album by Robert Wyatt. Prior to the album's recording, Wyatt famously fell from a fourth-story window during a party and became paralyzed from the waist down. The building was Vale Court in Maida Vale, a mansion block at A5 and Hall Road, fairly close to the Maida Vale tube station. You can get a a good look at it on Google Maps.
I've searched up and down, but I can't find any free photos of Vale Court. I'd greatly appreciate it if you could take a photo of this building. The photo could also be used in the article on Lady June, who hosted the party at which Wyatt fell, and perhaps in Maida Vale as well. It doesn't have to be a photo of any particular part of the building—I can't find any information about which window Wyatt fell from, anyway—so any general-purpose photo of the building itself would be fine, as long as it conveys the height. It's also not a pressing matter, so by all means take the photo at your convenience. —BLZ · talk 22:20, 9 July 2018 (UTC)

Hello to all! I do not intend to write a regular peer review newsletter but there does occasionally come a time when those interested in contributing to peer review should be contacted, and now is one. I've mailed this out to everyone on the peer review volunteers list, and some editors that have contributed to past discussions. Apologies if I've left you off or contacted you and you didn't want it. Next time there is a newsletter / mass message it will be opt in (here), I'll talk about this below - but first:
The list is here in case you've forgotten: WP:PRV. Kadane has kindly offered to create a bot that will ping editors on the volunteers list with unanswered reviews in their chosen subject areas every so often. You can choose the time interval by changing the "contact" parameter. Options are "never", "monthly", "quarterly", "halfyearly", and "annually". For example:
{{PRV|JohnSmith|History of engineering|contact=monthly}} - if placed in the "History" section, JohnSmith will receive an automatic update every month about unanswered peer reviews relating to history.{{PRV|JaneSmith|Mesopotamian geography, Norwegian fjords|contact=annually}} - if placed in the "Geography" section, JaneSmith will receive an automatic update every yearly about unanswered peer reviews in the geography area.We can at this stage only use the broad peer review section titles to guide what reviews you'd like, but that's better than nothing! You can also set an interest in multiple separate subject areas that will be updated at different times.
I don't think we need a WikiProject with a giant bureaucracy nor all sorts of whiz-bang features. However over the last few years I've found there are times when it would have been useful to have a list of editors that would like to contribute to discussions about the peer review process (e.g. instructions, layout, automation, simplification etc.). Also, it can get kind of lonely on the talk page as I am (correct me if I'm wrong) the only regular contributor, with most editors moving on after 6 - 12 months.
So, I've decided to create "WikiProject Peer review". If you'd like to contribute to the WikiProject, or make yourself available for future newsletters or contact, please add yourself to the list of members.
We plan to do some advertising of peer review, to let editors know about it and how to volunteer to help, at a couple of different venues (Signpost, Village pump, Teahouse etc.) - but have been waiting until we get this bot + WikiProject set up so we have a way to help interested editors make more enduring contributions. So consider yourself forewarned!
And... that's it!
I wish you all well on your Wikivoyages, Tom (LT) (talk) 00:31, 11 August 2018 (UTC)
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, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 00:53, 1 September 2018 (UTC)
The fourth round of the 2018 WikiCup has now come to an end. The eight users who made it to the final round had to score a minimum of 422 points to qualify, with the top score in the round being 4869 points. The leaders in round 4 were:
Courcelles scored a magnificent 4869 points, with 92 good articles on Olympics-related themes. Courcelles' bonus points alone exceeded the total score of any of the other contestants!
Kees08 was second with 1155 points, including a high-scoring featured article for Neil Armstrong, two good topics and some Olympics-related good articles. Cas Liber, with 1066 points, was in third place this round, with two featured articles and a good article, all on natural history topics.
Nova Crystallis, Iazyges, SounderBruce, Kosack and Ceranthor.During round four, 6 featured articles and 164 good articles were promoted by WikiCup contestants, 13 articles were included in good topics and 143 good article reviews were performed. There were also 10 "in the news" contributions on the main page and 53 "did you knows". 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 Wikipedia: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! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck, and let the best editor win!

Hello and Happy New Year!
Welcome to the 2019 WikiCup, the competition begins today. If you have already joined, your submission page can be found here. If you have not yet signed up, you can add your name here and we will set up your submissions page. One important rule to remember is that only content on which you have completed significant work during 2019, and which you have nominated this year, is eligible for points in the competition, the judges will be checking!

Hey, I see you haven't been around for a few days so no worries if you're busy. But if you get chance to revisit Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Assessment/Southampton Cenotaph, I'd really appreciate either a definitive support or further feedback if you feel there's still work to be done. Things seem to have stalled there and it would be nice to get it moving again before Leicester wraps up at FAC. You might also like the Midland Railway War Memorial which is also at ACR—might not be on your radar because I've only recently dug up some more sources. All the best, HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 01:30, 30 January 2019 (UTC)

And so ends the first round of the competition. Everyone with a positive score moves on to Round 2. With 56 contestants qualifying, each group in Round 2 contains seven contestants, with the two leaders from each group due to qualify for Round 3 as well as the top sixteen remaining contestants.
Our top scorers in Round 1 were:
L293D, a WikiCup newcomer, led the field with ten good articles on submarines for a total of 357 points.
Adam Cuerden, a WikiCup veteran, came next with 274 points, mostly from eight featured pictures, restorations of artwork. MPJ-DK, a wrestling enthusiast, was in third place with 263 points, garnered from a featured list, five good articles, two DYKs and four GARs. Usernameunique came next at 243, with a featured article and a good article, both on ancient helmets.
Squeamish Ossifrage was in joint fifth place with 224 points, mostly garnered from bringing the 1937 Fox vault fire to featured article status.
Ed! was also on 224, with an amazing number of good article reviews (56 actually).These contestants, like all the others, now have to start scoring points again from scratch. Between them, contestants completed reviews on 143 good articles, one hundred more than the number of good articles they claimed for, thus making a substantial dent in the review backlog. Well done all!
Remember that any content promoted after the end of Round 1 but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. 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 Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews.
If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to keep down the review backlogs!

The second round of the 2019 WikiCup has now finished. Contestants needed to scored 32 points to advance into round 3. Our top four scorers in round 2 all scored over 400 points and were:
Cas Liber (1210), our winner in 2016, with two featured articles and three DYKs. He also made good use of the bonus points available, more than doubling his score by choosing appropriate articles to work on. Kosack (750), last year's runner up, with an FA, a GA, two FLs, and five DYKs. Adam Cuerden (480), a WikiCup veteran, with 16 featured pictures, mostly restorations..svg/1280px-Flag_of_Prussia_(1892-1918).svg.png){kind=small}
Zwerg Nase (461), a seasoned competitor, with a FA, a GA and an ITN item.Other notable performances were put in by 
Barkeep49 with six GAs, Ceranthor, Lee Vilenski, and 
Canada Hky, each with seven GARs, and MPJ-DK with a seven item GT.
So far contestants have achieved nine featured articles between them and a splendid 80 good articles. Commendably, 227 GARs have been completed during the course of the 2019 WikiCup, so the backlog of articles awaiting GA review has been reduced as a result of contestants' activities. The judges are pleased with the thorough GARs that are being performed, and have hardly had to reject any. As we enter the third round, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 2 but before the start of round 3 can be claimed in round 3. Remember too that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them.

This message was sent to all administrators following a recent motion. Thank you for your attention. For the Arbitration Committee, Cameron11598 02:27, 4 May 2019 (UTC)
ArbCom would like to apologise and correct our previous mass message in light of the response from the community.
Since November 2018, six administrator accounts have been compromised and temporarily desysopped. In an effort to help improve account security, our intention was to remind administrators of existing policies on account security — that they are required to "have strong passwords and follow appropriate personal security practices." We have updated our procedures to ensure that we enforce these policies more strictly in the future. The policies themselves have not changed. In particular, two-factor authentication remains an optional means of adding extra security to your account. The choice not to enable 2FA will not be considered when deciding to restore sysop privileges to administrator accounts that were compromised.
We are sorry for the wording of our previous message, which did not accurately convey this, and deeply regret the tone in which it was delivered.
For the Arbitration Committee, -Cameron11598 21:03, 4 May 2019 (UTC)

Hello, Carcharoth. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Article incubator/List of British Army generals who died during World War I".
In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.
If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. IRIEN✓ (aka MAh'ia)🙏 10:47, 19 May 2019 (UTC)
Newyorkbrad is a better Arbitration historian than me, but I certainly don't recall anyone naming a role account as a party to a case request before. Certainly it's a first for the WMF Office role account. As for awareness, that's probably something for the Clerks to investigate. Thryduulf (talk) 12:12, 13 June 2019 (UTC)

It may look like I'm ignoring your list of diffs. It's only partially true but I've had a busy day. I have given your diffs some thought and struggled with them and finally had what I hope is an insight.
If we think of the classic journalistic questions:
We can see that the timeline put together by starship.paint is an attempt to get at the "when" issues. It's an attempt to identify a chronological order of important events but not to exhaustively cover every aspect of the situation.
My table is more of a "where" at with respect to the location of important blocks of text. (I know, I know, I have some exceptions)
Your list of diffs slices up the material in terms of "who". That is, identify some of the important players and find out what each of them said about the situation.
That's an extremely valuable exercise but it doesn't fit in well with table it's sort of orthogonal to it.
I'm not quite sure what to do next. I had sort of hoped someone would peel out all of the WMF statements and put them in one block which would conveniently fit in my table. I'm not so thrilled about doing that myself, partly because I'm lazy, partly because if I do that for the WMF, someone will suggest that I ought to do so for Dr. James the board member, and Jimbo the board member, and obviously Fram, and I'm worried about sliding down that slippery slope. Not because it's a bad to do, but because I have more things on my plate than I can manage and I can't take all that on.S Philbrick(Talk) 01:41, 20 June 2019 (UTC)
Hi Carcharoth. Here's where WMF unilaterally changed policy (turning Wikipedia into a police state). [10] What's telling is that there was no prior discussion with the community, and there was no announcement to WP:AN or similar noticeboard to draw attention. It was effectively a giant power grab, that sailed under the radar. Jehochman Talk 22:46, 24 June 2019 (UTC)
The third round of the 2019 WikiCup has now come to an end. The 16 users who made it to the fourth round needed to score at least 68 points, which is substantially lower than last year's 227 points. Our top scorers in round 3 were:
Cas Liber, our winner in 2016, with 500 points derived mainly from a featured article and two GAs on natural history topics Adam Cuerden, with 480 points, a tally built on 16 featured pictures, the result of meticulous restoration work SounderBruce, a finalist in the last two years, with 306 points from a variety of submissions, mostly related to sport or the State of Washington Usernameunique, with 305 points derived from a featured article and two GAs on archaeology and related topicsContestants managed 4 (5) featured articles, 4 featured lists, 18 featured pictures, 29 good articles, 50 DYK entries, 9 ITN entries, and 39 good article reviews. As we enter the fourth round, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 3 but before the start of round 4 can be claimed in round 4. Please also remember that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them, and it is imperative to claim them in the correct round; one FA claim had to be rejected because it was incorrectly submitted (claimed in Round 3 when it qualified for Round 2), so be warned! When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met.

In the month of September, Wikiproject Military history is running a project-wide edit-a-thon, Backlog Banzai. There are heaps of different areas you can work on, for which you claim points, and at the end of the month all sorts of whiz-bang awards will be handed out. Every player wins a prize! There is even a bit of friendly competition built in for those that like that sort of thing. Sign up now at Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/September 2019 Backlog Banzai to take part. For the coordinators, Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 08:18, 22 August 2019 (UTC)
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)
The fourth round of the competition has finished in a flurry of last minute activity, with 454 points being required to qualify for the final round. It was a hotly competitive round with two contestants with over 400 points being eliminated, and all but two of the finalists having achieved an FA during the round. Casliber, our 2016 winner, was the highest point-scorer, followed by Enwebb and Lee Vilenski, who are both new to the competition. In fourth place was SounderBruce, a finalist last year. But all those points are swept away as we start afresh for the final round.
Round 4 saw the achievement of 11 featured articles. In addition, Adam Cuerden scored with 18 FPs, Lee Vilenski led the GA score with 8 GAs while Kosack performed 15 GA reviews. There were around 40 DYKs, 40 GARs and 31 GAs overall during round 4. Even though contestants performed more GARs than they achieved GAs, there was still some frustration at the length of time taken to get articles reviewed.
As we start round 5, we say goodbye to the eight competitors who didn't quite make it; thank you for the useful contributions you have made to the Cup and Wikipedia, and we hope you will join us again next year. 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 14 days of "earning" them (some people have fallen foul of this rule and the points have been removed).

It's now the fifth day and your last question here was never answered. This is the most unsatisfactory part of the case. At this point I think the only reasonable option is to unban Fram and simply remain silent on the desysop question. Let WP:BN sort it out, or else Fram can file an appeal, or others can file a proper case about Fram's sysop status. The present case is so thoroughly tainted by procedural irregularities that it should be wrapped up. Jehochman Talk 18:47, 14 September 2019 (UTC)

Over on Iridescent's page you asked:
"As an aside, I'm finding the written records for Wikipedia's earliest days are beginning to dissolve." - this sounds bad. Is it too late to do anything about it?
(I'm answering your question here because I feel the thread there would become too tangled, & I wanted to save Iridescent the trouble of sorting it all out.)
The problem I'm seeing is an old one, & one which will certainly crop up beyond Wikipedia/the Foundation. Namely, the irreplaceable loss of important records. We have experienced, & may continue to experience this loss because people thought someone else was keeping these records. Or that at the time, old page versions weren't considered important.
In the case of the mail list, although WikiEN-L was followed at the time by a few hundred people, I suspect most of them assumed the archive on the WMF servers had a complete copy & so never bothered to keep theirs. Or assumed someone else was keeping a backup. Only a packrat like me would bother to keep a copy, & may not even know it. (And being a packrat, I don't know which hard drive my copy is.) So when some future historian wants to trace how Wikipedia began, using a new approach that requires access to the primary sources, there will be gaps; perhaps this future historian may find it impossible to answer the questions they pose.
As for the Foundation website, IMHO I believe those earlier pages were lost when the Foundation arrogated control of that website for itself -- another of Sue Gardner's acts that alienated long-term Wikipedians contributing to the decline in volunteers. The website was redesigned & materials that did not meet the new goals were deleted, & lost unless someone thought to backup a copy of its contents before this happened. (Iridescent is optimistic that this was done; being a little older & more experienced in how groups actually operate, I suspect no one even even thought to do this.)
This kind of loss is bound to happen: we lose historical records on a regular basis because, well, we can't keep everything & not everything will be of historical interest. (Maybe the discussions on WikiEN-L will prove to be unimportant to that future historian, who will use the more powerful computers of that day to crunch data from the page edits to find relationships & find their answers that way.) It would be nice if the Foundation recognized this loss & broadcasted a request for personal copies of the mailing lists' archives to replace the missing material. But I doubt anyone there is thinking of that eventuality. Sometimes I wonder if they even have a disaster recovery plan for when something bad happens to the servers in the data center. -- llywrch (talk) 16:59, 23 October 2019 (UTC)

Please fill out this short survey to help us improve our community consultation process for the future. It should only take about three minutes.

You may be interested to know that your namesake has been proposed for deletion. Andrew D. (talk) 11:34, 22 November 2019 (UTC)
A tag has been placed on Category:Middle-earth horses requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Happy New Year, Happy New Decade and Happy New WikiCup! The competition begins today 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!

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..svg/1280px-Royal_standard_of_England_(1406%E2%80%931603).svg.png){kind=small}
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.
CaptainEek was in fifth place with 405 points, mostly garnered from bringing Cactus wren to featured article status. 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 Wikipedia: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!

There was an error in the WikiCup 2020 March newsletter; L293D should not have been included in the list of top ten scorers in Round 1 (they led the list last year), instead, Dunkleosteus77 should have been included, having garnered 334 points from five good articles on animals, living or extinct, and various reviews.

A tag has been placed on Category:WikiProject Middle-earth article content templates requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Hey Carch. I'm just moving the thread over here from Iri's talk page, because it feels like bad manners to have a two-way conversation on somebody else's talk page. I did remove that link as dead, but I'd seen that you'd put it on the talk page so it wasn't gone forever. Some of the stuff I take out might go back in at a later date, but I'm not forgetting about it. The way I write an article is to build a skeleton first and then start hanging the meat on the bones. There's also a (small but growing) pile of stuff at User:HJ Mitchell/Sandbox that doesn't yet have a home in the article but needs working in later on it's also a dumping ground for semi-coherent thoughts and things I might come back to one day!, so definitely keep putting anything you dredge up on the talk page or wherever. It might take months, but I'll get to it. The representations in art is something I hadn't really thought of (ironic, considering I have a model of it on my bookcase!); it's definitely something that needs thought. The social history I had thought of; some of it's covered in the more academic books (eg Jay Winter's Sites of Memory and Ana Carden-Coyne's Reconstructing the Body, as well as some of the biographies of Lutyens. The other cenotaphs I haven't quite decided what to do with yet. They're not at risk of disappearing, don't worry. One of my thoughts is they might end up as a daughter article or list with just the most important examples in the main article. You can't put it in context without mentioning its influence on memorials across Britain and the empire, as it was then, (although it only seems to have been popular in Australia, NZ, Canada and HK). A lot depends on how long the article gets; I don't want to overwhelm the reader with information, and if it's getting too dense there might have to be a couple of daughter articles.
I'm working my way though Greenberg at the minute, though I'll be honest I find some of the material on geometry and reference to classical architecture quite dense; I'm used to writing history, and it's a little bit out of my comfort zone, but it's good to keep the brain active. I've also got a copy of the TLS piece now; there's a lot of background in there about the victory parade and the national mood and the state of politics at the time (some of which is relevant wrt the Cenotaph capturing that mood), but relatively little about the Cenotaph itself that isn't published elsewhere. Apologies for length! Best, HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 22:55, 16 March 2020 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited The Cenotaph, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Crystal Palace (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Hi, if you're popping in now and again, maybe you'd take a look at this - I'm reworking it with new structure and at least one major theme that was missing, language (how did people miss that?). I hope it's not becoming too arcane? Trying to be comprehensible with examples, quotations, and indeed illustrations... would love to know what you think. Heaven knows how we'll find a GAN reviewer for it, things seem to take longer and longer and get more and more hit-and-miss. Keep well. Chiswick Chap (talk) 17:28, 27 March 2020 (UTC)
The Influences article is a sorry list, though I regrouped it; there's something very wrong about it, probably that it's trying too hard to itemise each language etc rather than considering the nature of the influence, but whatever the reason it's very plodding and uninformative. Ideas? Chiswick Chap (talk) 08:22, 30 March 2020 (UTC)
Have you had any thoughts on length and whether anything needs splitting off? It would be possible to write lots more, but I think you are getting the balance right there. People will want a one-stop article covering all the themes. Also, some of the themes are seen more in his other works (e.g. Fate and Free Will in the bit in Unfinished Tales [and other versions] where Ulmo appars to Tuor and says his bit about 'armour against fate', which is the title of a book I have on my shelves about British military intelligence in the First World War, though I think that is a complete coincidence), so is there potential for covering that somewhere? Carcharoth (talk) 19:56, 29 March 2020 (UTC)
I've finally got round to having a go at this hoary old article. It's looking less of a sad cruft-list and more of a decent attempt at an article already. See what you think when you have a moment. It's beginning to look like a match for Themes (and for the existing coverage of his Invented languages ... obviously the fans liked that one...). Chiswick Chap (talk) 18:36, 31 March 2020 (UTC)

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 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, 
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 Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required).

The third round of the 2020 WikiCup has now come to an end. The 16 users who made it into the fourth round each had at least 353 points (compared to 68 in 2019). It was a highly competitive round, and a number of contestants were eliminated who would have moved on in earlier years. Our top scorers in round 3 were:
Epicgenius, with one featured article, 28 good articles and 17 DYKs, amassing 1836 points The Rambling Man , with 1672 points gained from four featured articles and seventeen good articles, plus reviews of a large number of FACs and GAs Gog the Mild, a first time contestant, with 1540 points, a tally built largely on 4 featured articles and related bonus points.Between them, contestants managed 14 featured articles, 9 featured lists, 3 featured pictures, 152 good articles, 136 DYK entries, 55 ITN entries, 65 featured article candidate reviews and 221 good article reviews. Additionally, MPJ-DK added 3 items to featured topics and 44 to good topics. Over the course of the competition, contestants have completed 710 good article reviews, in comparison to 387 good articles submitted for review and promoted. These large numbers are probably linked to a GAN backlog drive in April and May, and the changed patterns of editing during the COVID-19 pandemic. As we enter the fourth round, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 3 but before the start of round 4 can be claimed in round 4. Please also remember 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. Please also remember that all submissions must meet core Wikipedia policies, regardless of the review process.

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
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.

.jpg/1280px-Woodlands_Cemetery_Naval_plot,_Gillingham_20200927_113614_(50400447461).jpg)
Have you (or HJ Mitchell) ever come across the naval plot in Woodlands Cemetery, Gillingham before? (Ignore the fact that the Commons category is so bloated, when I get round to it I'll sort it by ship/regiment and give the photos more informative filenames.) It's the oddest CWGC plot I've ever seen, and I can't find it documented anywhere (although admittedly I haven't looked very hard). It has plenty of the traditional CWGC gravestones one would expect, but mixed in with them there are graves of the standard CWGC design but in black granite instead of white Portland stone, graves of a non-standard design but including the usual cross, and graves of the same non-standard design with a stylised "IHS" in place of the cross.
I can find no information at all as to why there are four designs in use there, and neither the CWGC website nor the information board in the cemetery shed any light. I can't see any apparent pattern; the four designs seem to be used interchangeably for all ranks and services, to the extent that there are sailors of the same rank who died on the same day on the same ship, with each of the four designs. I initially thought that maybe the non-standard shapes and colours were perhaps from a batch of blank stones ordered before the IWGC standardised the design, but there are burials with non-standard headstones well into the 1940s.
If you're interested in such things, the cemetery is well worth a visit. It's huge by British Isles standards at 1234 service burials, plus monuments to people buried in assorted Kent churchyards that have subsequently been destroyed and a dedicated plot for victims of the Gillingham bus disaster, and it's impeccably maintained. ‑ Iridescent 18:41, 1 October 2020 (UTC)

The 2020 WikiCup has come to an end, with the final round going down to the wire. Our new Champion is Lee Vilenski (submissions), the runner-up last year, who was closely followed by Gog the Mild (submissions). In the final round, Lee achieved 4 FAs and 30 GAs, mostly on cue sport topics, while Gog achieved 3 FAs and 15 GAs, mostly on important battles and wars, which earned him a high number of bonus points. The Rambling Man (submissions) was in third place with 4 FAs and 8 GAs on football topics, with Epicgenius (submissions) close behind with 19 GAs and 16 DYK's, his interest being the buildings of New York.
The other finalists were Hog Farm (submissions), HaEr48 (submissions), Harrias (submissions) and Bloom6132 (submissions). The final round was very productive, and besides 15 FAs, contestants achieved 75 FAC reviews, 88 GAs and 108 GAN reviews. Altogether, Wikipedia has benefited greatly from the activities of WikiCup competitors all through the contest. Well done everyone!
All those who reached the final will receive awards and the following special awards will be made, based on high performance in particular areas of content creation. So that the finalists do not have an undue advantage, these prizes are awarded to the competitor who scored the highest in any particular field in a single round, or in the event of a tie, to the overall leader in this field.

Rhododendrites (submissions) wins the featured picture prize, for 3 FPs in round 3 and 5 overall. Lee Vilenski (submissions) wins the featured article reviewer prize, for 23 FAC reviews in round 5. Epicgenius (submissions) wins the good article prize, for 45 GAs in round 2 and 113 overall. MPJ-DK (submissions) wins the topic prize, for 33 articles in good topics in round 2.

Happy new year! Hope you're safe and settled down for yet another lockdown! I'm working on the London and North Western Railway War Memorial and might do some of the other railway war memorials since I've been slowly acquiring material about the railways in WWI. I was wondering if you (or perhaps Iridescent or one of your talk page stalkers) might be able to dig up the memorial's coverage in The Builder or the Architects Journal? Both are cited by Historic England and I was hoping they might have some more useful details. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 14:16, 5 January 2021 (UTC)

In response to your message, I left links to "The Times" in the talk section pf the following wikipedia pages: 1. Alfred Lord Milner 2. Viscountess Milner 3. Milner's Kindergarten I did this as an aid for other members. If there is a quality problem, or some other problem relating to newspaper sources, please let me know. Thank you.
Lord Milner is distantly related to me. He was the reason we on World War I. Link
Here is something you might like: Link to research toolsLord Milner (talk)
For now, this to remind me how the conversation went. You really think Lord Milner determined the outcome of World War I? It is late and I need to sleep (too many disrupted sleep patterns around these days). Will try and come back to this later. Carcharoth (talk) 04:17, 15 January 2021 (UTC)

Round 1 of the competition has finished; it was a high-scoring round with 21 contestants scoring more than 100 points. Everyone with a positive score moves on to Round 2, with 55 contestants qualifying. You will need to finish among the top thirty-two contestants in Round 2 if you are to qualify for Round 3. Our top scorers in Round 1 were:
Epicgenius led the field with a featured article, nine good articles and an assortment of other submissions, specialising on buildings and locations in New York, for a total of 945 points.
Bloom6132 was close behind with 896 points, largely gained from 71 "In the news" items, mostly recent deaths. ImaginesTigers, who has been editing Wikipedia for less than a year, was in third place with 711 points, much helped by bringing League of Legends to featured article status, exemplifying how bonus points can boost a contestant's score.
Amakuru came next with 708 points, Kigali being another featured article that scored maximum bonus points. Ktin, new to the WikiCup, was in fifth place with 523 points, garnered from 15 DYKs and 34 "In the news" items. The Rambling Man scored 511 points, many from featured article candidate reviews and from football related DYKs..svg/1280px-Standard_of_Oliver_Cromwell_(1653%E2%80%931659).svg.png){kind=small}
Gog the Mild, last year's runner-up, came next with 498 points, from a featured article and numerous featured article candidate reviews.
Hog Farm, at 452, scored for a featured article, four good articles and a number of reviews. Le Panini, another newcomer to the WikiCup, scored 438 for a featured article and three good articles. Lee Vilenski, last year's champion, scored 332 points, from a featured article and various other sport-related topics.These contestants, like all the others, now have to start again from scratch. In Round 1, contestants achieved eight featured articles, three featured lists and one featured picture, as well as around two hundred DYKs and twenty-seven ITNs. They completed 97 good article reviews, nearly double the 52 good articles they claimed. Contestants also claimed for 135 featured article and featured list candidate reviews. There is no longer a requirement to mention your WikiCup participation when undertaking these reviews.
Remember that any content promoted after the end of Round 1 but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. 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 a good article candidate, a featured process, or something else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia: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!

The second round of the 2021 WikiCup has now finished; it was a high-scoring round and contestants needed 61 points to advance to Round 3. There were some impressive efforts in the round, with the top eight contestants all scoring more than 400 points. A large number of the points came from the 12 featured articles and the 110 good articles achieved in total by contestants, as well as the 216 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:
The Rambling Man, with 2963 points from three featured articles, 20 featured article reviews, 37 good articles, 73 good article reviews, as well as 22 DYKs. Epicgenius, with 1718 points from one featured article, 29 good articles, 16 DYKs and plenty of bonus points. Bloom6132, with 990 points from 13 DYKs and 64 "In the news" items, mostly recent deaths. Hog Farm, with 834 points from two featured articles, five good articles, 14 featured article reviews and 15 good article reviews. Gog the Mild, with 524 points from two featured articles and four featured article reviews. Lee Vilenski, with 501 points from one featured article, three good articles, six featured article reviews and 25 good article reviews.
Sammi Brie, with 485 points from four good articles, eight good article reviews and 27 DYKs, on US radio and television stations. Ktin, with 436 points from four good articles, seven DYKs and 11 "In the news" items.Please remember 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 (except for at the end of each round, when you must claim them before the cut-off date/time). When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met.

The fourth round of the competition has finished with over 500 points being required to qualify for the final round. It was a hotly competitive round with two contestants, The Rambling Man and Epicgenius, each scoring over 3000 points, and six contestants scoring over 1000. All but one of the finalists achieved one or more FAs during the round, the exception being Bloom6132 who demonstrated that 61 "in the news" items produces an impressive number of points. Other contestants who made it to the final are Gog the Mild, Lee Vilenski, BennyOnTheLoose, Amakuru and Hog Farm. However, all their points are now swept away and everyone starts afresh in the final round.
Round 4 saw the achievement of 18 featured articles and 157 good articles. .jpg/1280px-Wandbild_Portrait_George_Floyd_von_Eme_Street_Art_im_Mauerpark_(Berlin).jpg){kind=small}
Bilorv scored for a 25-article good topic on Black Mirror but narrowly missed out on qualifying for the final round. There was enthusiasm for FARs, with 89 being performed, and there were 63 GARs and around 100 DYKs during the round. As we start round 5, we say goodbye to the eight competitors who didn't quite make it to the final round; thank you for the useful contributions you have made to the Cup and Wikipedia, and we hope you will join us again next year. For other contestants, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 4 but before the start of round 5 can be claimed in round 5.

Hi!
You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.
When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.
Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.
If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter.
We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.
Thank you. /Johan (WMF)

And so ends the first round of the WikiCup. Last year anyone who scored more than zero points moved on to Round 2, but this was not the case this year, and a score of 13 or more was required to proceed. The top scorers in Round 1 were:
Epicgenius, a finalist last year, who led the field with 1906 points, gained from 32 GAs and 19 DYKs, all on the topic of New York buildings.
AryKun, new to the contest, was second with 1588 points, having achieved 2 FAs, 11 GAs and various other submissions, mostly on the subject of birds.
Bloom6132, a WikiCup veteran, was in third place with 682 points, garnered from 51 In the news items and several DYKs.
GhostRiver was close behind with 679 points, gained from achieving 12 GAs, mostly on ice hockey players, and 35 GARs. Kavyansh.Singh was in fifth place with 551 points, with an FA, a FL, and many reviews..svg/1280px-Flag_of_Provo,_Utah_(1989%E2%80%932015).svg.png){kind=small}
SounderBruce was next with 454 points, gained from an FA and various other submissions, mostly on United States highways. Ktin, another WikiCup veteran, was in seventh place with 412 points, mostly gained from In the news items.These contestants, like all the others who qualified for Round 2, now have to start scoring points again from scratch. Between them, contestants completed reviews of a large number of good articles as the contest ran concurrently with a GAN backlog drive. Well done all! To qualify for Round 3, contestants will need to finish Round 2 among the top thirty-two participants.
Remember that any content promoted after the end of Round 1 but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Anything that should have been claimed for in Round 1 is no longer eligible for points. 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 Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed.
Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

Hi Carcharoth, hope all is well with you. I've got back to working on The Cenotaph and whenever you next poke your head round the door, I wondered if you'd cast an eye over it and see if there's anything lacking. It's not finished yet, obviously, but I'm not planning any more drastic changes. Best, HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 22:44, 18 March 2022 (UTC)

The second round of the 2022 WikiCup has now finished. It was a high-scoring round and contestants needed 115 points to advance to round 3. There were some very impressive efforts in round 2, with the top seven contestants all scoring more than 500 points. A large number of the points came from the 11 featured articles and the 79 good articles achieved in total by contestants.
Our top scorers in round 2 were:
Epicgenius, with 1264 points from 2 featured article, 4 good articles and 18 DYKs. Epicgenius was a finalist last year but has now withdrawn from the contest as he pursues a new career path. AryKun, with 1172 points from two featured articles, one good article and a substantial number of featured article and good article reviews. Bloom6132, with 605 points from 44 in the news items and 4 DYKs. Sammi Brie, with 573 points from 8 GAs and 21 DYKs.
Ealdgyth, with 567 points from 11 GAs and 34 good and featured article reviews. Panini!, with 549 points from 1 FA, 4 GAs and several other sources. Lee Vilenski, with 545 points from 1 FA, 4 GAs and a number of reviews.The rules for featured and good article reviews require the review to be of sufficient length; brief quick fails and very short reviews will generally not be awarded 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 Wikipedia: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!

Hi Carcharoth. I'm not sure if you are more interested in philosophy or religion articles, but I noticed you're listed at WP:PRV under Religion and philosophy as well as General copy editors. I recently put Quine–Putnam indispensability argument up for peer review here and was wondering if you have the time to provide any feedback on it. No problem if you don't have the time at the moment though as I've already sent messages to a few other editors. Thanks. Alduin2000 (talk) 19:48, 6 August 2022 (UTC)

Remember that any content promoted after that date 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.

Before its sudden demise it was both loved and resented by Dubliners, and survived numerous schemes for its removal or replacement with something specifically Irish. A mixture of bureacracy, sentiment – and the sense that there were more urgent priorities – kept the "one-handled adulterer" on his pedestal for far longer than perhaps even he would have expected. Opinion is divided as to whether his eventual replacement in the city centre, the Spire of Dublin, is a worthy successor."! - Once I'm here: what do you think of this thread? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:57, 24 March 2023 (UTC)

Listening to Siegfried from the 2023 Bayreuth Festival, third act, Andreas Schager as Siegfried waking up Brünnhilde, reminded me of this discussion. Was there anything in it demanding arbitration? - A few weeks later, three participants were admonished, - for what still remains a mystery to me? -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:26, 29 July 2023 (UTC)
Today Jahrhundertring, and I'm listening to Götterdämmerung from the Bayreuth Festival, close to the scene pictured, - the image (of a woman who can't believe what she has to see) features also on the article talk. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:59, 31 July 2023 (UTC)
My story today - a first - isn't about an article by me, but one I reviewed for DYK, see here. I like all: topic, "hook", connected article (a GA on its way towards FA), image and the music "in the background". I just returned from a weekend with two weddings, so also like the spirit ;) - Pics to come, I promise one cake, the other was too large! Good music, and better even in the concert ending the second day, - Goldberg Variations theme for an encore, after Dohnányi Serenade! - I played with the dedication for Goldberg Variations in my Siegfried entry 10 years ago ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:49, 7 August 2023 (UTC)

This too shall pass. - Ten years ago on 28 August, I heard a symphony, with a heavy heart because of the pending decision in WP:ARBINFOBOX, and not worried about my future here but Andy's. - It passed, and I could write the DYK about calling to dance, not battle, and Andy could write the DYK mentioning about peace and reconciliation, - look. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:11, 28 August 2023 (UTC)

Hi Carcharoth, I hope you are keeping well, and all the best for 2024. I have an ask, but I've no idea how big an ask it is, so I shan't be either surprised or disappointed if the answer is no. This suggests that you may be reasonably proximate to Kensal Green Cemetery. I'm thinking I might do a small article on the grave of Marigold Churchill. There are a number of points of interest: Churchill's daughter / now re-interned at Bladon / Grade II listing / Eric Gill as designer / theft of cross. However, I don't really like doing buildings/structures articles without an image, and neither Commons nor Geograph can help. But I've no idea whether you are in a position to visit and take a photo or two; how big a 72-acre cemetery really is (sounds big!); how easily identifiable or not Marigold's grave might be. Anyways, thought I would ask but, again, refusal will not offend in any way! Best regards. KJP1 (talk) 14:49, 7 January 2024 (UTC)

Today's story is about the TFA, by sadly missed Vami_IV. In my support in 2018, I hoped to do justice to Schloss Köthen next - which I will begin today, finally, promised. It touches me that you still carry its image on top of this page, and it was again my first greeting this year. For more related thoughts and music, look on my talk for 1 June. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:48, 1 June 2024 (UTC)

The article James Bryant Conant Award has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Just looking at Wikipedia:Notability (awards and medals) it seems that it doesn't meet all the criteria laid out there. There isn't much coverage of the award outside of educational institution's press. It's notable awardees don't make it notable and notability isn't inherent. It might be better to merge this with James Bryant Conant.Blanes tree (talk) 14:21, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
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 {{proposed deletion/dated}} 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 {{proposed deletion/dated}} 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.

My story today is - because of the anniversary of the premiere OTD in 1782 - about Die Entführung aus dem Serail, opera by Mozart, while yesterday's was - because of the TFA - about Les contes d'Hoffmann, opera by Offenbach, - so 3 times Mozart if you click on "music" ;) -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:17, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
Today's story is about a photographer who took iconic pictures, especially View from Williamsburg, Brooklyn, on Manhattan, 9/11, yesterday's was a great mezzo, and on Thursday we watched a sublime ballerina. If that's not enough my talk offers the chamber music from two amazing concerts. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:34, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

On 13 August, Bach's cantata was 300 years old, and the image one. The cantata is an extrordinary piece, using the chorale's text and famous melody more than others in the cycle. It's nice to have not only a recent death, but also this "birthday" on the Main page. And a rainbow in my places. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:59, 13 August 2024 (UTC)
