An update from adopt a user

Hi there Mono! You may be wondering, what have I done to sound the alarm this time? Nothing. I'm messaging you in regards to the adopt-a-user program, which currently has a backlog of users wishing to be adopted. This doesn't make much sense, as we have a considerable list of users offer adoption, so there shouldn't be any backlog. I've begun to eliminate this backlog myself through a matching program, but I need your help to make it work. Of course, adoptees and adopters don't have to go through there, but I believe it helps eliminate the backlog because someone is actively matching pairs.

On the list of adopters, I have modified the middle column to say "Interests." It's easier working with other users that have similar interests, so if it's not too much to ask, could you add your interests in the middle column? For example, if I was interested in hurricanes, computers, business, and ... reptiles? I would place those in the middle column. Counter-vandalism and the like can also be included (maintenance should be used as the general term). The more interests, the better, since adoptees can learn more about you and choose the one they feel most comfortable working with. The information about when you're most active and other stuff can go into the "Notes" section to the right.

Finally, I've gone around and asked adoptees (and will in the future) to fill in a short survey so adopters can take the initiative and contact users they feel comfortable working with. We all know that most adoptees just place the adopt me template on their user page and leave it - so it's up to us to approach them and offer adoption. So, please take a look at the survey, adopt those that fit your interests, and maybe watchlist it so you can see the interests of adoptees and adopt one that fits your interests in the future.

Once again, thank you for participating in the adopt-a-user program! If you wish to respond to this post, please message me on my talk page.

( talk page stalker) Please be patient Ian. Like most of the rest of us, Mono has a RL to deal with. On that note, bit of friendly advice I give my adoptees; if you don't get an answer to your question as soon as you would like, it is always better to wait until your mentor gets the chance to answer you than to make a mistake and "get into trouble". So... be patient... you've got a great mentor... Mono will get back to you when possible. Best, ROBERTMFROMLI TALK/ CNTRB 23:37, 12 October 2010 (UTC) reply


Well, thanks. Anyway, what exactly is an RL? Ian ( talk) 08:54, 13 October 2010 (UTC) reply

( talk page stalker) On the chance you're not being sarcastic, RL stands for "real life". IRL = "in real life". You could also consider asking someone else if your question is urgent. PrincessofLlyr royal court 13:51, 13 October 2010 (UTC) reply

Mono, I had an idea. Maybe we could each grab up a couple Wikipedia friends and do a false revert war. I'll take Airplaneman and Access Denied.

Please insert this text:

The main article for this category is Sister Sledge.

Category:Non-free audio samples by artist

It seems unlikely that there are enough pages to support this category. Hello, please take into account that there are many similar categories in the Category:Non-free audio samples by artist. The categories are needed in order to set a link from other Wikpedias, where nonfree content is not allowed. -- 84.132.58.246 ( talk) 12:50, 16 October 2010 (UTC) reply

I don't see the point if there's only 1 file in the category. THENEWMONO™ 19:03, 16 October 2010 (UTC) reply
Sorry, I know only a little english. Maybe my text could be difficult to understand. There are four files in the Category:Sister Sledge audio samples. If you click by this link, you can read there: "The following 4 files are in this category, out of 4 total.". Every of the four links points to another site. And as a special service for music-files they can be heard all on this category side direct similar than a gallery. This makes it easy for the user, not to call four sites in order to hear them. But you can use the four single-file links as well, if you want. Maybe this looks like only one file, but there are four in the category. -- 84.132.44.188 ( talk) 22:08, 16 October 2010 (UTC) reply

I am not seeing why a free image couldn't be made that provides the same information to the reader as File:MacBook Air October 2010 Promotional Image.png and File:MacBook Air television advertisement (screenshot).jpg. Especially the first one, but even the second one could be restaged. Angus McLellan (Talk) 10:31, 21 October 2010 (UTC) reply

No, it could not. How would you get

  • the exact MacBook Air shown
  • the exact person's hand
  • the exact envelope?

We want to be accurate; it would likely be a derivative work anyway. The first one will be replaced as soon as:

  • someone publishes an image online
  • I go to the Apple Store

So, that's why. THEMONO™ 22:54, 21 October 2010 (UTC) reply

First image violates NFCC. It's whether a free version can be produced or obtained easily, which is yes. So image one needs to go. Image two seems OK; commercial would need more coverage within article to make pic necessary, though. / ƒETCH COMMS / 23:38, 21 October 2010 (UTC) reply

Current discussion about how to name San Diego neighborhoods

Hello, Mono! I see that you are a participant in WikiProject:San Diego. There is a discussion currently going on which might be of interest to you. It concerns the naming style for neighborhoods of the city of San Diego. Currently most San Diego neighborhoods are named in the pattern Point Loma, San Diego, California. The primary proposal at the renaming discussion would change that name to Point Loma; the alternate proposal would change it to Point Loma, San Diego. -- MelanieN ( talk) 16:21, 9 November 2010 (UTC) reply

Thanks for uploading File:Google Quick Search Box Logo.gif. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not.

NYC Meetup: Saturday, December 4

We meet outside by the trees at 5:00 PM.

Our next Wikipedia NYC Meetup is this weekend on Saturday Dec 4 at Brooklyn Museum during their awesome First Saturdays program, starting at 5 PM.

A particular highlight for the wiki crowd will be ' Seductive Subversion: Women Pop Artists, 1958–1968', and the accompanying " WikiPop" project, with specially-created Wikipedia articles on the artists displayed on iPads in the gallery.

This will be a museum touring and partying meetup, so no excuses about being a shy newbie this time. Bring a friend too!

You can add or remove your name from the New York City Meetups invite list at Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC/Invite list.

I regret to inform you that your edit to the AfC logo was reverted. This was done for two reasons. First, the Wikipedia logo is copyrighted, and (even if we did get the okay to use the logo there) that would change the license of the AfC image. Second, several people on the IRC remarked that the change looked poor in smaller sizes, such as the templates used at AfC submissions and at people's talk pages. I think a better solution would to create and upload alternate versions using local language lettering for the logo (the way we do for the Wikipedia top banner).

Fair enough. Do you mind if I ask what you mean by "RfC problem"? Swarm X 23:09, 13 December 2010 (UTC) reply
You mean RfA problem? That's the half-real, half-exaggerated problem of RfA being too rude and too hard to pass. Every so often, someone complains about it at WT:RfA and everyone argues. It's kind of annoying because half the people yelling are the same rude people at RfA and the other half just love drama. / ƒETCH COMMS / 00:04, 14 December 2010 (UTC) reply

Editing project

Hi I'm Aab114 ( talk) 13:59, 15 December 2010 (UTC), and my team is cole35, libby8181, Lizz101. We have 6 people total. Were a team of students and we would like to improve the article, "Dictator." How should we start to edit this? Right on the site or is there another option that would be better? Thanks! Aab114 ( talk) 13:59, 15 December 2010 (UTC) reply

  • Make sure everyone has an account.
  • Everyone in the group should try some test edits first, so here's a good way to get that started:
  1. Go to your own user page: click here for your own.
  2. Click "edit" to edit your user page.
  3. Add this code: [[/sandbox]].
  4. Scroll down to the box that says "Edit summary" right above the "Save page" button. In that box, provide an edit summary, which is just a short description of what you edited. You can say "created user page" or something here.
  5. Then hit the save button. Each person's user page should then have a red link that looks like [[/sandbox]]. Click on that link to go to your personal sandbox.
  6. You can test wiki-code in your own sandbox—there's a quick cheatsheet for the basic code; you can also use the light-blue toolbar above the edit text box for formatting.
  7. Go back to your user page when you are done testing in your sandbox. If you forget the link, go to the search bar and type "User:YOUR USERNAME HERE" (using your username, of course). Edit your user page again, and add links to the user pages of everyone else in your group. You can also write "I am part of a school project working on (the article name here)" so people know you're part of a school project in case they're wondering what's going on :)
  • When everyone has that set up, you can start a single draft page in someone's sandbox. That way, you can collect information and reorganize material at your own pace but still work on the article with everyone else together. When the article is due, you can copy the text into the live article.
  • If you need a review of the current article to see what you need to work on, just ask me. If you have a class plan on what you need to write, you can ask for advice still :)
If you have any other questions, reply directly below here like this:
::Reply ...
The colons in the front indent the text so we can easily see who wrote what; the more colons, the more indenting, like
:1 colon
::2 colons
:::3 colons

to make

1 colon
2 colons
3 colons
Always remember to sign your posts on talk pages (not actual articles) by adding the code ~~~~ at the end (good, you remembered above!) and the thing I must stress over everything else is to communicate. If someone does something to the article that you don't understand, ask them on their talk page, and be sure to check back to see if anyone has left you a message often, every day or every other day. Don't be afraid to ask if you have any questions! Thanks, • 23:30, 15 December 2010 (UTC) ( instructions shamefully stolen from fellow editor Fetchcomms) reply
One more thing: please be careful with your privacy: the most useful piece of advice is never give out any personally identifiable information (name, age, location, school) on Wikipedia – or anywhere else publicly available on the Internet – even to people you know or think you might know in real life. • 23:37, 15 December 2010 (UTC) reply

"Grudge"/TCNSV

Maybe I do have a grudge against him. Maybe I don't like the fact that some time back, he looked at every article I'd edited in the last week and tagged them all with QD tags or wrong multiple-issues tags. Maybe I don't like the fact that I can't say good morning to him without him throwing policies at me that are completely inapplicable. Or maybe I just don't like the fact that he recently deleted other users' TP comments from a third user's page (diffs at the ANI). Either way, I think his edits should be restricted in light of these things. Feel free to disagree Purple backpack89 22:50, 28 December 2010 (UTC) reply

Purplebackpack, I think the best thing would be to simply stay away from him. He should do the same; ignore each other and do different things. If you see that he does something wrong, pretend not to notice and let someone else handle it. But, do whatever you like — just my two cents. Mono ( talk) 02:00, 29 December 2010 (UTC) reply

Heku

So the actual books don't count? Heku is a fictional species created by the author solely for the series of books (published books). So how can the books not be used as a reference? There can't be scientific research or exhaustive articles on a species created for a series of fictional novels. Is there a way to still make this page happen? I can't help but liken the heku to Star Trek's Klingons or even Star Wars Wookies. They don't exist for actual scientific research. I have added more web page references though, if that helps. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Creteloc/Heku

Creteloc ( talk) 00:10, 29 December 2010 (UTC) reply

Basically, we need to prove that the article meets Wikipedia's notability standards before we can create the page. Any reviews/coverage of the books in newspapers, magazines, or publications will do this; basically any 'reliable' sources can prove the article is notable. We don't need to verify the content of the books, beyond citing them in a plot summary, perhaps—we need coverage of the series. Take a look at the references section of a good article about a random novel ( like this one); notice references to reviews in sources like The New York Times, listings of awards, and similar sources. Mono ( talk) 02:07, 29 December 2010 (UTC) reply


Awww guess I'm SOL. She's a new author and hasn't been feature in any newspapers that I can find, nor has she won any awards. Maybe someday the world will learn. Thanks though :(

ETA I just had a thought... what if the author writes the wiki? How much more reliable can you get? Not sure if she will but I can e-mail.

Creteloc ( talk) 14:51, 29 December 2010 (UTC) reply

Cretloc, that would be worse, as one of our core principles is neutrality — it's hard to write about your own books neutrally; also, it still doesn't satisfy our criteria for inclusion. The subjects of articles must be 'famous' or notable to be added to Wikipedia. Sorry about that, but your submission is welcome later, as long as it gets covered. :) Mono ( talk) 01:59, 30 December 2010 (UTC) reply

Help With ManhattanGMAT

Hi Mono, thank you for helping get my ManhattanGMAT article moved to the AFC page. I assume that it was approved because after a few days on the AFC page, the article has now been moved to the mainspace. However, after a few days in mainspace, it quickly got tagged as "may not meet notability guidelines". I was hoping you could help me sort that out; I took great care to have the article reviewed and revised for notability before even moving it into the AFC, so I think it should be OK. Could you point me in the right direction of how to respond to the notability tagging? Thank you! ImTheBombardier ( talk) 20:52, 29 December 2010 (UTC) reply

The tagging was not appropriate; I removed the tag. Mono ( talk) 03:27, 30 December 2010 (UTC) reply

Welcome to the 2011 WikiCup!

Hello, happy new year and welcome to the 2011 WikiCup! Your submissions' page can be found here and instructions of how to update the page can be found here and on the submissions' page itself. From the submissions' page, a bot will update the main scoresheet. Our rules have been very slightly updated from last year; the full rules can be found here. Please remember that you can only receive points for content on which you have done significant work in 2011; nominations of work from last year and "drive-by" nominations will not be awarded points. Signups are going to remain open through January, so if you know of anyone who would like to take part, please direct them to Wikipedia:WikiCup/2011 signups. The judges can be contacted on the WikiCup talk page, on their respective talk pages, or by email. Other than that, we will be in contact at the end of every month with the newsletter. If you want to stop or start receiving newsletters, please remove your name from or add your name to this list. Good luck! J Milburn and The ed17 12:58, 1 January 2011 (UTC) reply

TJ Zizzo page

My name is Brandon Mudd, I'm TJ Zizzo's PR rep and I'm trying to establish a page for him on Wikipedia. Can you let me know what I need to do to ensure the page goes live? Obviously, there are people who are able to put together pages easily, but every time I've tried to put one together, it seems I need clearance from God in triplicate to get it approved. Also, any and all photos that have been or will be put on his page are shot personally by me, so obviously I have the proper clearance. Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing from you.

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia! Thanks for contributing your article. However, I noticed that there is a serious issue with your article. It lacks references to reliable sources (like newspapers, books, and magazines, not blogs or social networks) and may be deleted, as articles without references do not meet our criteria for inclusion. Facts in an article should be backed up by a reference, as this helps keep Wikipedia verifiable. To fix this issue, simply add reliable sources using inline citations (see this guide for information). Click here to learn about what a reliable source is.
Once again, thank you for contributing to Wikipedia.

WikiCup 2011 January newsletter

We are half way through round one of the WikiCup. Signups are now closed, and we have 129 listed competitors, 64 of whom will make it to round two. Congratulations to The Bushranger ( submissions), who, at the time of writing, has a comfortable lead with 228 points, followed by Zanzibar Hurricanehink ( submissions), with 144 points. Four others have over 100 points. Congratulations also go to Greece Yellow Evan ( submissions), who scored the first points in the competition, claiming for Talk:Hurricane King/GA1, Principality of Sealand Miyagawa ( submissions), who scored the first non-review points in the competition, claiming for Dognapping, and United Kingdom Jarry1250 ( submissions) who was the first in the competition to use our new "multiplier" mechanic ( explanation), claiming for Grigory Potemkin, a subject covered on numerous Wikipedias. Thanks must also go to Jarry1250 for dealing with all bot work- without you, the competition wouldn't be happening!

A running total of claims can be seen here. However, numerous competitors are yet to score at all- please remember to submit content soon after it is promoted, so that the judges are able to review entries. The number of points that will be needed to reach round two is not clear- everyone needs to get their entries in now to guarantee their places! If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages, or by email. Good luck!

Added template for SuggestBot

Hi,

Thanks for being one of SuggestBot's users! I hope you have found the bot's suggestions useful.

We are in the process of switching from our previous list-based signup process to using templates and userboxes, and I have therefore added the appropriate template to your user talk page. You should receive the first set of suggestions within a day, and since we'll be automating SuggestBot you will from then on continue to receive them regularly at the desired frequency.

We now also have a userbox that you can use to let others know you're using SuggestBot, and if you don't want to clutter your user talk page the bot can post to a sub-page in your userspace. More information about the userbox and usage of the template is available on User:SuggestBot/Getting Recommendations Regularly.

If there are any questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch with me on my user talk page. Thanks again, Nettrom ( talk) 20:43, 17 February 2011 (UTC) reply

IRC chat

Hello, there is an upcoming, very informal discussion on IRC on the freenode channel ##chzzalpha connect ( quick webchat link) on the 6th March 2011 at 17:00 UTC concerning ways to improve help over IRC, and other matters relating to Wiki?edia channels in general, but mostly about #wikipedia-en-help.

This is just a friendly, informal chat. Nothing official, no fixed agenda. There is nothing 'secretive' about it - anyone is quite welcome. Some of you had a chat there, the other day. We wanted to invite them to carry on discussions, at a prearranged time - and thought it courteous to ask group contacts and channel founders too. Or if you signed up manually.

If you aren't at all interested, feel free to remove yourself from the names we've spammed this to, which is in User:123Hedgehog456/IRC informal chat users. If you didn't sign up, well, people have been adding loads of names to the list, so someone might have accidentally added your name.

Thank you,  Chzz   ►  and 123 Hedgehog 456 19:49, 15 February 2011 (UTC). reply

WikiCup 2011 February newsletter

So begins round two of the WikiCup! We now have eight pools, each with eight random contestants. This round will continue until the end of April, when the top two of each pool, as well as the next 16 highest scorers of those remaining, will make it to round three. Congratulations to The Bushranger ( submissions) (first, with 487 points) and Zanzibar Hurricanehink ( submissions) (second, with 459), who stormed the first round. Scotland Casliber ( submissions) finished third with 223. Twelve others finished with over 100 points- well done to all of you! The final standings in round one can be seen here. A mere 8 points were required to reach round two; competition will no doubt be much more fierce this round, so be ready for a challenge! A special thanks goes, again, to United Kingdom Jarry1250 ( submissions) for dealing with all bot work. This year's bot, as well as running smoothly, is doing some very helpful things that last year's did not. Also, thanks to Bavaria Stone ( submissions) for some helpful behind-the-scenes updating and number crunching.

Some news for those who are interested- March will see a GAN backlog elimination drive, which you are still free to join. Organised by WikiProject Good articles, the drive aims to minimise the GAN backlog and offers prizes to those who help out. Of course, you may well be able to claim WikiCup points for the articles you review as part of the drive. Also ongoing is the Great Backlog Drive, looking to work on clearing all of the backlogs on Wikipedia; again, incentives are offered, and the spirit of friendly competition is alive, while helping the encyclopedia is the ultimate aim. Though unrelated to the WikiCup, these may well be of interest to some of you.

Just a reminder of the rules; if you have done significant work on content this year and it is promoted in this round, you may claim for it. Also, anything that was promoted after the end of round one but before the beginning of round two may be claimed for in round two. Details of the rules can be found on this page. For those interested in statistics, a running total of claims can be seen here, and a very interesting table of that information (along with the highest scorers in each category) can be seen here. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup.

Thanks for your comment about the new article. There's actually not a lot of new content, and I feel like it is better presented in a unified iPad article. I've prepared a sandbox of iPad with all the new content merged in; see this diff. I appreciate your enthusiasm about making it a Good Article but I feel like iPad itself needs some serious attention to continue to deserve that distinction, and a merger will get it much-needed attention. With that in mind, would you care to revisit the discussion? HereToHelp ( talk to me) 02:46, 13 March 2011 (UTC) reply

About your edit to the Accessories section: I think that your were overly harsh in deleting the entire paragraph about the adapter; it deserves a mention. Also, the Smart Cover paragraph still reads like an ad. If we can't come to an agreement, I suppose we should funnel our energy into improving the respective articles and then judge the results when we get there. I could be wrong, but I suspect that there is insufficient material to write a decent article on just the iPad 2. HereToHelp ( talk to me) 22:23, 13 March 2011 (UTC) reply
Thank you for striking your comment about not listening. I appreciate your ability to defend what you believe using rational argument while listening to another perspective. HereToHelp ( talk to me) 21:52, 15 March 2011 (UTC) reply
