Cierra Levy

Hi, I am trying to figure out whether my group can do a Wikipedia article on the restaurant in Evanston, IL known as Oceanique. I looked up the notability policy and recognize that I can't use primary sources, press releases, advertising, or their website as sources. However, is it okay to use reviews, articles, as well as research we gather through going to the restaurant in person. Naturally, any research we do in person would be for just general information while still maintaing a Neutral point of view and can we take pictures if they allow it? Cierrajadell (talk) 17:57, 21 October 2014 (UTC)

@Cierrajade: Hi Cierra! I'm not sure if you're going to be able to find secondary sources about the restaurant. Let me look into it and I'll get back to you. :) Keilana|^{Parlez ici} 19:49, 21 October 2014 (UTC)

WikiCup 2014 June newsletter

After an extremely close race, Round 3 is over. 244 points secured a place in Round 4, which is comparable to previous years- 321 was required in 2013, while 243 points were needed in 2012. Pool C's Godot13 (submissions) was the round's highest scorer, mostly due to a 32 featured pictures, including both scans and photographs. Also from Pool C, Casliber (submissions) finished second overall, claiming three featured articles, including the high-importance Grus (constellation). Third place was Pool B's , whose contributions included featured articles Russian battleship Poltava (1894) and Russian battleship Peresvet. Pool C saw the highest number of participants advance, with six out of eight making it to the next round.

The round saw this year's first featured portal, with Sven Manguard (submissions) taking Portal:Literature to featured status. The round also saw the first good topic points, thanks to 12george1 (submissions) and the 2013 Atlantic hurricane season. This means that all content types have been claimed this year. Other contributions of note this round include a featured topic on Maya Angelou's autobiographies from Figureskatingfan (submissions), a good article on the noted Czech footballer Tomáš Rosický from Cloudz679 (submissions) and a now-featured video game screenshot, freely released due to the efforts of Sven Manguard (submissions).

The judges would like to remind participants to update submission pages promptly. This means that content can be checked, and allows those following the competition (including those participating) to keep track of scores effectively. This round has seen discussion about various aspects of the WikiCup's rules and procedures. Those interested in the competition can be assured that formal discussions about how next year's competition will work will be opened shortly, and all are welcome to voice their views then. 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 help 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!

Chicago-ish usergroup

Would you be interested in helping to organize some type of Wikimedian usergroup based around Chicago - Wikipedia talk:Meetup/Chicago 9#Fresh Coast Wikimedians usergroup?. I think you could perhaps provide some leadership and experience with national activities that would be helpful to the local group. Btw, I mentioned this on the Wiknic talkpage because I thought people would notice it there, but certainly it doesn't have to be a function of one particular event, especially if you can't make it then.--Pharos (talk) 20:34, 5 July 2014 (UTC)

@Pharos: To be honest, I don't really have the time or bandwidth to organize this. Thanks for thinking of me, though! Keilana|^{Parlez ici} 20:53, 5 July 2014 (UTC)

Interview transcripts

In my opinion the transcripts for multimedia files should go straight to the description page at Commons so that they stay close together, as I've done here. While I'm sure your user page would make a stable home also, I think that down the line the two are prone to become separated - for example, in the future a Wikipedia successor might mirror only the file but not your user page, or a volunteer trying to collate the content might casually discard a userpage link as not certain to be relevant. I don't guarantee opinion will agree with me, but I thought I should let you know that I made the copy. Wnt (talk) 19:34, 8 July 2014 (UTC)

Need Help with Fixing Stats

I hope you are having a great summer. We are at PMML. Just a quick question... Do you know who can help us fix the statistics box on the PMML GLAM page? TeriEmbrey (talk) 16:51, 16 July 2014 (UTC)

@TeriEmbrey: I'm not terribly good with wiki markup, so I'm going to ping User:I JethroBT, he should be more helpful. Keilana|^{Parlez ici} 19:04, 16 July 2014 (UTC)

(edit conflict) Hey TeriEmbrey. Neither Keilana or I have the technical skills to fix the issue with the bot as far as I understand it. I've gotten in touch with the maintainers of the bot that produces that statistics box. I've also been reading around and the issue may deal with the server on which these programs are hosted and less so on this particular program, in which case we'd need to appeal to the Wikimedia Foundation directly, but I'd like to hear what the maintainers Theopolisme and Wolfgang42 have to say about the issue. I, JethroBT ^{drop me a line} 19:07, 16 July 2014 (UTC)

@TeriEmbrey: and @I JethroBT: - that sounds like a good idea. If there's an issue, it probably isn't just affecting the PMML pages. Keilana|^{Parlez ici} 19:48, 16 July 2014 (UTC)

Wikimania Interview?

Hi!

My name is Victor and I'm a storyteller and video producer for the Wikimedia Foundation. I'll be looking to capture stories about Wikimedians at Wikimania in London in a week. Here is an example of the kind of thing that I'm aiming to do. I saw that you're attending Wikimania and I was wondering if you might have some time to talk about what do you on Wikimedia projects. I missed you at the last Chicago WikiMeetup (was hoping to meet you there more casually!) Anyway let me know if you are interested you are such an awesome contributor and I'd love to share your story as a profile. I'll be at Wikimania from the 6th-10th of August and would need maybe 30 minutes of your time. I can answer any questions you may have. I’m best reached at vgrigas(at)wikimedia.org

Thanks!

Re: Endometrial cancer

Hi Emily, thank you very much for the Barnstar! I am happy that people like my contribution on medical articles. Also, I should apology that I need to speed up on translation when reading your revised editions on Endometrial cancer. Because my major is Public Affairs, and I works in education section; women's disease and medical topics are extremely difficult for me to read, learn, and translate, even starting for a single word. Please help me if my translation does not work. Thank you!

Also, would you recommend some basic medical textbooks to me, particularly in gynecology area? Thank you! --Walter Grassroot |talk 15:09, 8 August 2014 (UTC)

page protection

Hi Keilana, please change the level of pp on Ebola virus disease to pending changes. There are several IP's who've made positive contributions, see the talk page, and blocking their contribs will just drive them away. Thanks. SW3 5DL (talk) 23:00, 22 August 2014 (UTC)

@SW3 5DL: Hi, I'm not seeing any protected edit requests or anything from IPs in the past week or so. Could you point me to what you're talking about? Sorry I took so long to reply - have been traveling and sleeping. Best, Keilana|^{Parlez ici} 16:03, 23 August 2014 (UTC)

Hi Keilana. That page was just recently semi-protected August 4 through 19. I checked IP contribs between the 19th and 20th when the page was not protected and there didn't appear to be any heavy vandalism. Just a couple of edits that were easily spotted. Pending changes seems to be a good solution all around since bad IP edits can't make into the page. As for IP edit requests on talk pages, I'm not talking about those. I'm talking about good edits made directly to the article made by IPs. They're not all vandals. Thanks. SW3 5DL (talk) 19:04, 23 August 2014 (UTC)

@SW3 5DL: I do see what you're talking about - history not talk. My concern is more for MEDRS and misleading content than for blatant stupid vandalism, and it's such a high-visibility article right now that I don't think pending changes is a good idea. Keilana|^{Parlez ici} 00:43, 24 August 2014 (UTC)

Well, there are regular editors at the page every day so they could easily handle pending changes requests. The page has to be unprotected at some point. There's no reason for the page to be semi-protected right now. There wasn't any real vandalism. We can't pp for MEDRS. Putting in RS is simply an editorial function. SW3 5DL (talk) 03:26, 24 August 2014 (UTC)

@SW3 5DL: I think input of the editors on the talk page would be helpful - I've brought it up there. Is that helpful? Keilana|^{Parlez ici} 15:26, 24 August 2014 (UTC)

That's a good idea. And it would be helpful if you post diffs of the vandalism that occurred between 20th and 21st when you protected the page for several months. SW3 5DL (talk) 20:42, 24 August 2014 (UTC)

I was there from 5 through 10 inclusive and working the whole time on the UK chapter village stand just 3 metres from the pianna. It was late - I actually thought the lobby was empty.

Meetup at the Hull House!

Hey Emily! This is a repeat of a message I left you over phone, but the Jane Addams Hull-House Museum is doing an edit-a-thon later next week. They're interested in improving biographical articles related to women's leadership in social activism, so I thought you and others at Loyola might be interested in joining us. It's kind of on a weird day of the week (a Thursday afternoon) to accommodate students at UIC, but you're welcome to join us if you're free. It'd be great to have a few experienced editors to help out with the event so the arm-flailing around on my part can be minimized. :) I, JethroBT ^{drop me a line} 22:55, 25 August 2014 (UTC)

@I JethroBT: Oh, I don't think I got your phone message for some reason! I'm so sorry I didn't get back to you. I wish I could come but I'll be in immunology lab that whole time. I hope you have fun though! Keilana|^{Parlez ici} 00:01, 26 August 2014 (UTC)

No problem. I expected that most editors wouldn't be able to make it because of the date & time, but unfortunately it couldn't be changed. I'm told we'll get a good number of students interested in social work, women's studies, and transgender activism; I'm hoping we can make some headway on article/content gaps in those areas, maybe including photographs of things at the museum itself. I'll let you know how the event goes! I, JethroBT ^{drop me a line} 20:34, 26 August 2014 (UTC)

WikiCup 2014 August newsletter

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

1. Godot13 (submissions), a WikiCup newcomer, finished top of Pool A and was the round's highest scorer. Godot is a featured picture specialist, claiming large numbers of points due to high-quality scans of historical documents, especially banknotes.
2. Casliber (submissions) is a WikiCup veteran, having been a finalist every year since 2010. In the semi-final, he was Pool B's highest scorer. Cas's points primarily come from articles on the natural sciences.
3. Czar (submissions) was Pool A's runner-up. Czar's points come mostly from content related to independent video games, including both articles and topics.
4. Adam Cuerden (submissions) was Pool B's runner-up. Another featured picture specialist, many of Adam's points come from the restoration of historical media. He has been a WikiCup finalist twice before.
5. Cwmhiraeth (submissions) won the WikiCup in 2012 and 2013, and enters this final as the first wildcard. She focuses on biology-related articles, and has worked on several high-importance articles.
6. 12george1 (submissions) is the second wildcard. George's points come primarily from meteorology-related articles. This year and last year, George was the first person in the competition to score.
7. Sturmvogel 66 (submissions), the third wildcard, was the 2010 champion and a finalist last year. His writes mostly on military history, especially naval history.
8. Bloom6132 (submissions), the fourth and final wildcard, has participated in previous WikiCups, but not reached any finals. Bloom's points are mostly thanks to did you knows, featured lists and good articles related to sport and national symbols.

We say goodbye to this year's semi-finalists. Matty.007 (submissions), ThaddeusB (submissions), WikiRedactor (submissions), Figureskatingfan (submissions), Yellow Evan (submissions), Prism (submissions) and Cloudz679 (submissions) have all performed well to reach this stage of the competition, and we hope they will all be joining us again next year.

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

There is now a thread for brainstorming on how next year's WikiCup competition should work. Please come along and share your thoughts- What works? What doesn't work? What needs changing? Signups for next year's competition will be open soon; we will be in touch. If, at this stage of the competition, you are keen to help the with the WikiCup, please do what you can to participate in review processes. Our finalists will find things much easier if the backlogs at good article candidates, featured article candidates, featured picture candidates and the rest are kept at a minimum. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

Help!

Emily, I tried to add the project content bot to Wikipedia:WikiProject Women writers, but I dunno if I did it right! I'm so stupid about bots and anything that requires coding. So could you please go over and check my work and then fix it for me? Thank you so much! Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 23:37, 2 September 2014 (UTC)

@Figureskatingfan: Hey Christine! To be honest, I'm pretty stupid about bots and coding and such too. From what I can tell, it looks okay though, I'm not sure why the recognized content hasn't loaded. Maybe it takes awhile? Sorry I'm not of more help!

Kualiʻi

Aloha e Keilana! I noticed that you seemed to have deleted a page on Chief Kualiʻi. I wondered why, and what the options are for restoration? I have not been to the page in awhile, but it seemed to be a good article in general, unless it was changed a lot. I have not been on Wikipedia much lately, so it is possible that I could have missed some major changes. Let me know? Much aloha! --Laualoha 17:58, 14 September 2014 (UTC)

Lend a hand as an ambassador for a Northwestern class?

Hi Keilana!

I'm a Communication Studies Professor at Northwestern teaching a course on Online Communities & Crowds this Fall. Since NU doesn't currently have a campus ambassador, I'm looking around to see whether a local Wikipedian (especially someone as super-experienced, accomplished, and ambassadorial as yourself) might be willing to lend a hand supporting our class.

Details about the course are available in the syllabus or from the shiny new Education Program class page. I'm really interested in finding someone local to act as an ambassador in the hopes that she/he/they might be willing to visit the class too (transportation and lunch on me, of course). If you have any feedback or questions; think you might be available/interested; and/or have any ideas about other folks (especially locals) who might be interested, please let me know! Thanks so much.

Aaronshaw (talk) 04:33, 23 September 2014 (UTC)

@Aaronshaw: I'd love to be involved and do the ambassador thing for NU! I'm happy to visit too, and am available - we can arrange that over email. Thanks for thinking of me! Best, Keilana|^{Parlez ici} 04:44, 23 September 2014 (UTC)

GA Cup - September 2014 Newsletter

WikiProject Good Articles's 2014-15 GA Cup - September 2014 Welcome to the GA Cup! In less than 72 hours, the competition will begin! Before you all start reviewing nominations we want to make sure you understand the following: This is a friendly competition so we don't want any cheating/breaking of the rules. However, if you do believe someone is going against the rules, notify the judges. All the rules are listed here. If you are a new editor or new to reviewing Good article nominations, it is imperative that you read the 4 essays/guides listed under FAQ #4. If you do not understand something, ask a judge for clarification ASAP! The competition is not entirely about who can review the most nominations. Per the "Scoring" page, there is different criteria in which you can earn more points. Theoretically, you could review 10 nominations and have 80 points but another user could have reviewed 5 nominations and have 100 points. Yes, we want you to review as many nominations as you can as this will greatly increase the number of points you earn, but you must also keep in mind that every single review will be looked over by a judge. If we find that you are "rubber-stamping" (in other words, the review is not complete but you still passed/failed the article) you may be disqualified without warning. Also, rather than creating a long list on what to remember, make sure you have read the "Scoring", "Submissions", and "FAQ" pages. Now for the one question that we guarantee you have: how on earth will the rounds work??? Yes, we never actually had a solid platform regarding how the rounds would work because we had no idea how many people would sign-up. Even though the competition is about to begin, because sign-ups are still open, it is impossible to say exactly how each round will work. As of now, we can confirm that Round 1 will have everyone compete in one big pool. Depending on the final number of participants after sign-ups close, a to-be-determined number of participants will move on (highest scorers will move on) to Round 2. We guarantee that the top 15 will move on, so make sure you aim for those top positions! Moving on to Round 2, participants will be split into pools of even numbers (for example, every pool will have 6 participants). The pools will be determined by a computer program that places participants by random. More details regarding Round 2 will be sent out at the end of Round 1. It is important to note that the GA Cup will run on UTC time, so make sure you know what time that is for where you live! On that note, the GA Cup will start on October 1 at 0:00:01 UTC; Round 1 will end on October 29 at 23:59:59 UTC; Round 2 will commence on November 1 at 0:00:01 UTC. All reviews must be started after or on the start time of the round. If you qualify for Round 2 but do not complete a review before the end of Round 1, the review can be carried over to Round 2; however that review will not count for Round 1. Prior to the start of the the second round, participants who qualify to move on will be notified. Finally, if you know anyone else that might be interesting in participating, let them know! Sign-ups close on October 15 so there is still plenty of time to join in on the action! If you have any further questions, contact one of the judges or leave a message here. On October 16 or 17, 2014, check the Pools page as we will post the exact number of participants that will move on to the next round. Because this number will be determined past the halfway mark of Round 1, we encourage you to aim to be in the top 15 as the top 15 at the end of the round are guaranteed to move on. Cheers from NickGibson3900, Dom497, TheQ Editor and Figureskatingfan. To subscribe or unsubscribe to future GA Cup newsletter, please add or remove your name to our mailing list. If you are a participant, you will be on the mailing list no matter what as this is the easiest way to communicate between all participants.

Can you take a look at this Draft RFC?

Hi Keilana,

Crisco 1492 and I have been working on a draft RFC relating to the Violence Against Men category, and what rules should be there for its use. Crisco 1492 suggested I ping you to take a look as an uninvolved third party. See User_talk:Crisco_1492#Violence_against_men.2Fwomen_categories. The second version of the RFC draft, lower in the section, is where we are now.

Your input is most welcome. Mattnad (talk) 16:55, 29 September 2014 (UTC)

To be honest, I don't have the time to do it justice but thank you for asking! Keilana|^{Parlez ici} 21:11, 29 September 2014 (UTC)

WSU edit-a-thon

Hi Emily, hope all is well with you. I wanted to let you know that there's another outcome from our workshop last month! I'm conducting a workshop for the WSU librarians on Oct. 15, and helping out with their edit-a-thon on the 21st. I created a meet-up page: Wikipedia:Meetup/WSU Open Access Week 2014. I'm very excited. Hopefully, it's the start of something bigger, like perhaps a Palouse Wikimedia Chapter.

Also, the GA Cup is up and running. I think we started developing when I was with you in DC. So things are good! Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 19:07, 3 October 2014 (UTC)

@Figureskatingfan: Hi Christine! It's so good to hear from you, and to hear about all that you've been up to! I'm so happy that you're getting to do two workshops! (So many exclamation points!) I can't wait to see how they turn out - and I'll of course be participating in the GA cup once I get back from vacation. Keep me posted please! Keilana|^{Parlez ici} 18:37, 5 October 2014 (UTC)

GA Cup -Round 1 Newsletter

WikiProject Good Articles's 2014-15 GA Cup - Round 1 As we move into the middle of Round 1, we wanted to report some of the lessons we've learned thus far, as well as announce a major rule change going into Round 2, which begins November 1. Remember, sign-ups for this year's Cup ends on September 15. Thus far, we're very happy with the results of the competition. One of our major goals, reducing the long backlog at GAN, is well on the way to being accomplished, mostly due to the enthusiastic efforts of Jonas Vinther, who has earned over 250 points. Over 80 reviews have been made thus far. Thank you all for your efforts and for your part in making the GA Cup a success. However, this is the inaugural year of the GA Cup, so there have been some unforeseen circumstances that have come up. One has been a glaring inadequacy with the rules, which the judges feel makes the competition unfair. As a result, there will be a major change in the rules, starting at the beginning of Round 2: Your review must provide feedback/suggestions for improvement, and then you must wait until the nominator has responded and all issues/suggestions have been resolved before you can pass the article. Failure to follow this rule will result in disqualification. What this means is that you must provide some feedback to the article's nominator, and must wait for him or her to respond before passing the article. If the nominator has not responded in the standard 7 days, you can fail the article. We're instituting this rule change to prevent the possibility of competitors passing articles for the sake of passing articles (or failing them) and to gain more points. We believe that the change will make it more fair to all competitors in the GA Cup. Also, in case you haven't noticed, we increased the "guarantee" for Round 2 to 25 participants. The exact number will be decided in the near future. We thank your for your participation, and for your flexibility and understanding as we learn what works and what doesn't work in this competition.

Hi everyone,

It was brought to the attention of the judges that there was an error in the newsletter sent out earlier today.

Sign-ups for the GA Cup will close on October 15, 2014, not September 15, 2014 (as mentioned in the newsletter).

GA Cup - Round 1 Newsletter #2

WikiProject Good Articles's 2014-15 GA Cup - Round 1 Hello GA Cup competitors! The judges have learned a great deal in this first part of the competition, and we appreciate your patience with us as we've figured out what works and what doesn't work. As we reported in our last newsletter, an inadequacy in the scoring system has been illuminated in the past 15 days, which has resulted in a major change in the rules. It has also resulted in one withdrawal. To ensure fairness, we've decided to further increase the number of participants moving onto Round 2. Everyone who has reviewed at least one article will automatically be moved forward, and will be placed in pools. You have until October 29 to take advantage of this opportunity. It is our hope that this will make up for the unforeseen glitch in our scoring system. Best of wishes to all of you as you continue to help improve articles and make Wikipedia a better place.

Happy Halloween!!!

Wilhelmina Will has given you some caramel and a candy apple! Caramel and candy-coated apples are fun Halloween treats, and promote WikiLove on Halloween. Hopefully these have made your Halloween (and the proceeding days) much sweeter. Happy Halloween! '"On Psych, A USA Network TV series Episode 8, The Tao of Gus, Season 6, Shawn refers to pumpkins as "Halloween Apples" because he thinks all round fruits are a type of apple. If Trick-or-treaters come your way, add {{subst:Halloween apples}} to their talkpage with a spoooooky message!

Greetings & Inquiry from a fellow woman scientist

Hello there! My name is Gabi and I am a student in Aaron Shaw's Online Communities and Crowds class. I had a fabulous time hearing you talk about your work on WikiProject: Women's Scientists. So much so, in fact, that my group and I have decided to edit Catherine Furbish's page. We made great progress on the article within my sandbox, but we have a couple questions: 1) how do we cite the same source numerous times? 2) The title of the page is "CathArine Furbish" instead of "CathErine Furbish". How can we go about changing the name of the page? Catherine Furbish

Much thanks! Gabiravioli (talk) 19:29, 31 October 2014 (UTC)

@Gabiravioli: Hi Gabi! Lovely to meet you! So, in order to move the page, you need to go to the "more" tab and click on "move", then enter the new name for the page and your reason for doing so. Check out the page on moving for more! Let me know if you have any questions, Keilana|^{Parlez ici} 16:35, 3 November 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for your help with the MOVE! It is looking good. On our Catherine Furbish page, I am having difficulty figuring out how to cite the same source numerous times on the article. Is there a way to direct the references to the same citation? Or is it common to cite a source only once and not reference it after later sentences?

Thanks! Gabiravioli (talk) 16:58, 6 November 2014 (UTC)

@Gabiravioli: Hi Gabi, you need to name the reference in order to use it multiple times. You can do this as such: <ref name=NAME> and then use it again later by typing <ref name=NAME/>. I hope that helps! Keep up the great work! Best, Keilana|^{Parlez ici} 18:10, 6 November 2014 (UTC)

GA Cup - Round 2

WikiProject Good Articles's 2014-15 GA Cup - Round 2 Greetings, GA Cup competitors! Wednesday saw the end of Round 1. Jaguar took out Round 1 with an amazing score of 238. In a tight race for second, Peacemaker67 and Ritchie333 finished second and third with 152 and 141 points, respectively. Two users have scored the maximum five bonus points for article length (60,000 characters+). Anotherclown reviewed Spanish conquest of Yucatán (77,350 characters) and MrWooHoo reviewed Communist Party of China (76,740 characters). The longest review was by Bilorv who reviewed Caldas da Rainha. The review was approximately 22,400 characters which earned s/he two bonus points (20, 000 - 29, 999 characters). In Round 1, 117 reviews were completed, making the first round of the GA Cup a success! A total of 86 articles were removed from the backlog during the month of October! We hope to see all remaining users fighting it out in Round 2 so we can lower the backlog as much as possible. To qualify for the second round, one completed review was needed, which 28 users accomplished. Participants have been randomly put into 7 pools of 4; the top 2 in each pool will move onto Round 3. There will also be one wildcard. This means that the participant who comes in 15th place (all pools combined) will also move on. Round 2 will start on November 1 at 0:00:01 UTC and end on November 29 at 23:59:59 UTC. Information about Round 2 and the pools can be found here Also, remember that a major rule change will go into affect starting on November 1, which marks the beginning of Round Two. Round 1 displayed a weakness in the rules, which we are correcting with this new rule. We believe that this change will make the competition more inherently fair. The new rule is: Your review must provide feedback/suggestions for improvement, and then you must wait until the nominator has responded and all issues/suggestions have been resolved before you can pass the article. Failure to follow this rule will result in disqualification. The judges will strictly enforce this new rule. Good luck and remember to have fun! Cheers from NickGibson3900, Dom497, TheQ Editor and Figureskatingfan. To subscribe or unsubscribe to future GA Cup newsletter, please add or remove your name to our mailing list. If you are a participant still competing, you will be on the mailing list no matter what as this is the easiest way to communicate between all participants.

Copyright checks when performing AfC reviews

Hello Keilana. This message is part of a mass mailing to people who appear active in reviewing articles for creation submissions. First of all, thank you for taking part in this important work! I'm sorry this message is a form letter – it really was the only way I could think of to covey the issue economically. Of course, this also means that I have not looked to see whether the matter is applicable to you in particular.

The issue is in rather large numbers of copyright violations ("copyvios") making their way through AfC reviews without being detected (even when easy to check, and even when hallmarks of copyvios in the text that should have invited a check, were glaring). A second issue is the correct method of dealing with them when discovered.

If you don't do so already, I'd like to ask for your to help with this problem by taking on the practice of performing a copyvio check as the first step in any AfC review. The most basic method is to simply copy a unique but small portion of text from the draft body and run it through a search engine in quotation marks. Trying this from two different paragraphs is recommended. (If you have any question about whether the text was copied from the draft, rather than the other way around (a "backwards copyvio"), the Wayback Machine is very useful for sussing that out.)

If you do find a copyright violation, please do not decline the draft on that basis. Copyright violations need to be dealt with immediately as they may harm those whose content is being used and expose Wikipedia to potential legal liability. If the draft is substantially a copyvio, and there's no non-infringing version to revert to, please mark the page for speedy deletion right away using {{db-g12|url=URL of source}}. If there is an assertion of permission, please replace the draft article's content with {{subst:copyvio|url=URL of source}}.

Some of the more obvious indicia of a copyvio are use of the first person ("we/our/us..."), phrases like "this site", or apparent artifacts of content written for somewhere else ("top", "go to top", "next page", "click here", use of smartquotes, etc.); inappropriate tone of voice, such as an overly informal tone or a very slanted marketing voice with weasel words; including intellectual property symbols (™,®); and blocks of text being added all at once in a finished form with no misspellings or other errors.

I hope this message finds you well and thanks again you for your efforts in this area. Best regards--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 02:20, 18 November 2014 (UTC).

Endometrial cancer for Today's Featured Article

I've set-up Endometrial cancer as a blurb for the Today's Featured Article requests process.

You can see it at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests/Endometrial cancer.

However, as I myself have nominated a bunch of other articles lately, I won't actually transclude it at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests.

If anyone else wishes to do so, they can follow the instructions at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests, and then a discussion will start as to the article's consideration for the Main Page.

Thank you,

GA Cup - Round 3

WikiProject Good Articles's 2014-15 GA Cup - Round 3 Greetings, all! We hope that all of our American GA Cup competitors had an enjoyable Thanksgiving holiday. Friday saw the end of Round 2. Two from 7 pools, plus a tie score and one wildcard (16 in all) moved onto the next round. Some pools were more competitive than others. Round 2's highest scorer was 3family6, with an impressive 255 points. Good888, who came in second place overall with 202 points, reviewed the most articles (19). The wildcard slot for Round 2 went to Jaguar. Congrats to all! Round 3 will have 15 competitors in three pools. The key to moving forward in Round 2 seemed to be reviewing articles with the longest nomination dates; almost everyone who moved forward nominated at least one article from the pink nomination box (20 points) or reviewed articles that had languished in the queue for over 5 months (18 points). The GA Cup was also used to promote a group of articles about The Boat Race, a rowing race held annually since 1856 between Oxford University and Cambridge University, on the River Thames. 17 Boat Race articles were promoted to GA in November. In Round 2, 110 reviews were completed, as compared to 117 in Round 1. The GA Cup continues to be a success. This month, we got a report from User:AmericanLemming, who maintains the GA statistics, that in October, there was a net gain of 201 articles nominated for GA. He thought that more open GANs could mean that more editors are submitting more of their articles to the GAN process. In addition, having a high-throughput of GANs means that more articles get reviewed more quickly, which reduces the frustration of potentially waiting several months to get an article reviewed. The activity in Round 2 of the GA Cup seems to bear that out. It's our hope that the competitors' enthusiasm continues in Round 3, and we can continue to make a difference in helping more editors improve their articles. For Round 3, participants have been randomly put in 3 pools of 5 contestants each; the top two in each pool progressing, as well as the top 2 of all remaining users. Round 3 will start on December 1 at 0:00:01 UTC and end on December 29 at 23:59:59 UTC. Information about Round 3 and the pools can be found here. There have been a couple of rules clarifications to announce. We're slightly changing the wording to the second bullet in "General rules", which now reads: You may only score points in a round for reviews which have been completed in that round. We're also including this clarification: Only reviews started during the competition are eligible. We have also lost a judge, so there are now only three judges. Good luck and remember to have fun as we move into the holiday season. It is the judges' hope that every competitor in the GA Cup has a joyous holiday season and Happy New Year.

WikiCup 2015 is just around the corner...

Hello everyone, and may we wish you all a happy holiday season. As you will probably already know, the 2015 WikiCup begins in the new year; there is still time to sign up. We have a few important announcements concerning the future of the WikiCup.

• We would like to announce that Josh (J Milburn) and Ed (The ed17), who have been WikiCup judges since 2009 and 2010 respectively, are stepping down. This decision has been made for a number of reasons, but the main one is time. Both Josh and Ed have found that, over the previous year, they have been unable to devote the time necessary to the WikiCup, and it is not likely that they will be able to do this in the near future. Furthermore, new people at the helm can only help to invigorate the WikiCup and keep it dynamic. Josh and Ed will still be around, and will likely be participating in the Cup this following year as competitors, which is where both started out.
• In a similar vein, we hope you will all join us in welcoming Jason (Sturmvogel 66) and Christine (Figureskatingfan), who are joining Brian (Miyagawa) to form the 2015 WikiCup judging team. Jason is a WikiCup veteran, having won in 2010 and finishing in fifth this year. Christine has participated in two WikiCups, reaching the semi-finals in both, and is responsible for the GA Cup, which she now co-runs.
• The discussions/polls concerning the next competition's rules will be closed soon, and rules changes will be made clear on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring and talk pages. While it may be impossible to please everyone, the judges will make every effort to ensure that the new rules are both fair and in the best interests of the competition, which is, first and foremost, about improving Wikipedia.

If you have any questions or concerns, the judges can be reached on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, on their talk pages, or by email. We hope you will all join us in trying to make the 2015 WikiCup the most productive and enjoyable yet. You are receiving this message because you are listed on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

December 2014 GOCE newsletter

Guild of Copy Editors December 2014 Newsletter Drive: Thanks to everyone who participated in November's Backlog Elimination Drive. Of the 43 people who signed up for this drive, 26 copy edited at least one article. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here. Progress report: The November Drive removed 26 requests from the Requests page and 509 articles from the {{copy edit}} backlog. We copy edited 83 articles tagged in the target months; July, August, and September 2013. Together with tag removals from articles unsuitable for copy editing, we eliminated July 2013 from the backlog and reduced August and September's tags to 61 and 70 respectively. As of 01:01, 1 December 2014 (UTC), the backlog stood at 1,974 articles, dipping below 2,000 for the first time in the Guild's history (see graph at right). Well done everyone! Blitz: The December Blitz will run from December 14–20 and will focus on articles related to Religion, in recognition of this month's religious holidays in much of the English-speaking world. Awards will be given out to everyone who copy edits at least one of the target articles. Sign up here! Election time again: The election of coordinators to serve from 1 January to 30 June 2015 is now underway. Candidates can nominate themselves or others from December 01, 00:01 (UTC), until December 15, 23:59. The voting period will run from December 16, 00:01 (UTC), until December 31, 23:59.
