DYK for Northern green anaconda[edit]

On 12 March 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Northern green anaconda, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Will Smith took part in the expedition that discovered the northern green anaconda? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Northern green anaconda. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Northern green anaconda), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

RFA2024 update: no longer accepting new proposals in phase I[edit]

Hey there! This is to let you know that phase I of the 2024 requests for adminship (RfA) review is now no longer accepting new proposals. Lots of proposals remain open for discussion, and the current round of review looks to be on a good track towards making significant progress towards improving RfA's structure and environment. I'd like to give my heartfelt thanks to everyone who has given us their idea for change to make RfA better, and the same to everyone who has given the necessary feedback to improve those ideas. The following proposals remain open for discussion:

  • Proposal 2, initiated by HouseBlaster, provides for the addition of a text box at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship reminding all editors of our policies and enforcement mechanisms around decorum.
  • Proposals 3 and 3b, initiated by Barkeep49 and Usedtobecool, respectively, provide for trials of discussion-only periods at RfA. The first would add three extra discussion-only days to the beginning, while the second would convert the first two days to discussion-only.
  • Proposal 5, initiated by SilkTork, provides for a trial of RfAs without threaded discussion in the voting sections.
  • Proposals 6c and 6d, initiated by BilledMammal, provide for allowing users to be selected as provisional admins for a limited time through various concrete selection criteria and smaller-scale vetting.
  • Proposal 7, initiated by Lee Vilenski, provides for the "General discussion" section being broken up with section headings.
  • Proposal 9b, initiated by Reaper Eternal, provides for the requirement that allegations of policy violation be substantiated with appropriate links to where the alleged misconduct occured.
  • Proposals 12c, 21, and 21b, initiated by City of Silver, Ritchie333, and HouseBlaster, respectively, provide for reducing the discretionary zone, which currently extends from 65% to 75%. The first would reduce it 65%–70%, the second would reduce it to 50%–66%, and the third would reduce it to 60%–70%.
  • Proposal 13, initiated by Novem Lingaue, provides for periodic, privately balloted admin elections.
  • Proposal 14, initiated by Kusma, provides for the creation of some minimum suffrage requirements to cast a vote.
  • Proposals 16 and 16c, initiated by Thebiguglyalien and Soni, respectively, provide for community-based admin desysop procedures. 16 would desysop where consensus is established in favor at the administrators' noticeboard; 16c would allow a petition to force reconfirmation.
  • Proposal 16e, initiated by BilledMammal, would extend the recall procedures of 16 to bureaucrats.
  • Proposal 17, initiated by SchroCat, provides for "on-call" admins and 'crats to monitor RfAs for decorum.
  • Proposal 18, initiated by theleekycauldron, provides for lowering the RfB target from 85% to 75%.
  • Proposal 24, initiated by SportingFlyer, provides for a more robust alternate version of the optional candidate poll.
  • Proposal 25, initiated by Femke, provides for the requirement that nominees be extended-confirmed in addition to their nominators.
  • Proposal 27, initiated by WereSpielChequers, provides for the creation of a training course for admin hopefuls, as well as periodic retraining to keep admins from drifting out of sync with community norms.
  • Proposal 28, initiated by HouseBlaster, tightens restrictions on multi-part questions.

To read proposals that were closed as unsuccessful, please see Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review/Phase I/Closed proposals. You are cordially invited once again to participate in the open discussions; when phase I ends, phase II will review the outcomes of trial proposals and refine the implementation details of other proposals. Another notification will be sent out when this phase begins, likely with the first successful close of a major proposal. Happy editing! theleekycauldron (talk • she/her), via:

Anaconda edits[edit]

I'm very confused by the rejection of my edits to the anacaonda article; they are accurate summaries of the two papers published in Bionomina; Rivas et al. did literally refuse to acknowledge that Latreille's name was available, as noted by Vásquez-Restrepo et al., and quoting the ICZN is very much relevant to the argument provided by Dubois et al. It makes no sense to add the fact that the availability of the name is being contested without explaining how and why the name is contested. That is not OR, and I would appreciate it if you would restore the edits. If you feel I am using weasel words, then I can change the wording, but the section challenging the nomenclatural availability needs to be restored and reinforced. Thanks. Dyanega (talk) 21:36, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The fact that the availability of the name is contested should be pointed out, but you shouldn't cite the ICZN directly and make the argument yourself (that's the OR part) or say that Rivas refused to acknowledge Latreille's name (a loaded word). The best thing to do would be to explain the argument (and claims) of Vásquez-Restrepo et al., but without taking sides or claiming that one or the other is correct. There is a difference between saying "Vásquez-Restrepo et al. contested the avaliability of the name" and claiming, in wikivoice, that the ICZN proves the name isn't valid. As the article is currently a GA, this is even more of a requirement, and (several) paragraphs should be written carefully to detail the arguments being made without bias. Chaotıċ Enby (talk · contribs) 21:41, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I understand the weasel word bit, but not the OR part - very specifically, Dubois et al. say the new name violates Article 13. If I put that into the WP article, readers will not know what ICZN Article 13 is, what it means, or what it says, unless I quote Article 13. That is not OR. Citing Dubois et al. is going to look pretty meaningless without establishing that context, but I'll give it a shot. Dyanega (talk) 22:08, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The issue is not citing Article 13. The issue is citing Article 13 in wikivoice and claiming its violation as a fact, rather than as an argument presented by Dubois et al. Chaotıċ Enby (talk · contribs) 22:09, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks a lot for the new version, I reworked and expanded it a bit! Chaotıċ Enby (talk · contribs) 22:43, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

New Pages Patrol newsletter April 2024[edit]

Hello Chaotic Enby,

New Page Review queue January to March 2024

Backlog update: The October drive reduced the article backlog from 11,626 to 7,609 and the redirect backlog from 16,985 to 6,431! Congratulations to Schminnte, who led with over 2,300 points.

Following that, New Page Patrol organized another backlog drive for articles in January 2024. The January drive started with 13,650 articles and reduced the backlog to 7,430 articles. Congratulations to JTtheOG, who achieved first place with 1,340 points in this drive.

Looking at the graph, it seems like backlog drives are one of the only things keeping the backlog under control. Another backlog drive is being planned for May. Feel free to participate in the May backlog drive planning discussion.

It's worth noting that both queues are gradually increasing again and are nearing 14,034 articles and 22,540 redirects. We encourage you to keep contributing, even if it's just a single patrol per day. Your support is greatly appreciated!

2023 Awards

Onel5969 won the 2023 cup with 17,761 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 50/day. There was one Platinum Award (10,000+ reviews), 2 Gold Awards (5000+ reviews), 6 Silver (2000+), 8 Bronze (1000+), 30 Iron (360+) and 70 more for the 100+ barnstar. Hey man im josh led on redirect reviews by clearing 36,175 of them. For the full details, see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone for their efforts in reviewing!

WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers deployed the rewritten NewPagesFeed in October, and then gave the NewPagesFeed a slight visual facelift in November. This concludes most major work to Special:NewPagesFeed, and most major work by the WMF Moderator Tools team, who wrapped up their major work on PageTriage in October. The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers will continue small work on PageTriage as time permits.

Recruitment: A couple of the coordinators have been inviting editors to become reviewers, via mass-messages to their talk pages. If you know someone who you'd think would make a good reviewer, then a personal invitation to them would be great. Additionally, if there are Wikiprojects that you are active on, then you can add a post there asking participants to join NPP. Please be careful not to double invite folks that have already been invited.

Reviewing tip: Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages within their most familiar subjects can use the regularly updated NPP Browser tool.

Reminders:

Avalon assemblage moved to draftspace[edit]

Thanks for your contributions to Avalon assemblage. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because the article is incomplete and lacks context. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Stifle (talk) 09:33, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Stifle I'm contesting the draftification, the article establishes context (one of the three Late Ediacaran biota assemblages), references are enough to establish notability, and an article being a stub alone isn't a reason for draftifying. (cf. WP:DRAFTIFY, criterion 2a-i). Plus, I'm already planning on expanding it further (cf. the {{Under construction}} template on the page). Chaotıċ Enby (talk · contribs) 13:50, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You can move it back whenever you feel it is appropriate for mainspace, but I would suggest doing that after you've completed your plans of expanding it further. At the moment it is borderline A1 speedy eligible (not enough context to identify the article subject). Stifle (talk) 14:10, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Francois Stemmet notability issues[edit]

Hi I am trying to add a page for Francois Stemmet( marked for speedy deletion). Notability seems to be the issue. He is clearly notable, having been on tv,radio etc. for over 50 years. He is well known, however I cannot find specific articles other than a bio on tvsa, google books and countless other external sources. Any ideas on how to proceed from here. NiekieM (talk) 14:28, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! Help:Find sources gives a lot of places you can look into for finding secondary sources about him. Also, as this falls under Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons, all claims must be cited (to primary or secondary sources, with secondary sources being needed only if the claim could reasonably be doubted).

Timeline of Alfred Milner[edit]

Thanks for your input, but I would really like to leave it as is, and have complete control over it's editing. In some circles, Milner (said with an emphasis on "M") is a very controversial figure, something like George Curzon; just too tough, too secretive, and too aloof. The detail will help put those fears to rest. Here's an example: https://www.amazon.com/Lord-Milners-Second-War-Rhodes-Milner/dp/1481940325

Some say he's responsible for the Second Boer War, when he was High Commissioner for South Africa, and responsible for nearly 50,000 civilian deaths: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Boer_War_concentration_camps

...while others say David Lloyd George stole the title, "The Man Who Won the War", from him (see first paragraph of the article). Of course, this was World War I.

Thanks for your consideration. No matter what draft, long or short, is approved, I would like to have sole custodian over it. Do you know how to arrange that? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lord Milner (talk • contribs)

You cannot have sole custody over an article, I suggest you read WP:OWN. This is a collaborative encyclopedia. Chaotıċ Enby (talk · contribs) 02:21, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Kunle Falayi[edit]

You (rightly) declined Draft:Kunle Falayi. You'll see that this is now rather better than it was when you declined it (Good!) but that your decline template and comment have gone (Bad!).

It was me who deleted the pair, when I deleted the draft. What you now see derives from a rather different draft. (For a bit of background, see the foot of this page.)

Though I'm a reviewer, I haven't evaluated this draft and don't intend to. You're most welcome to do so, of course. -- Hoary (talk) 11:22, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Introduction to contentious topics[edit]

You have recently edited a page related to COVID-19, broadly construed, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

  • adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
  • comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
  • follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
  • comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
  • refrain from gaming the system.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

WikiCup 2024 May newsletter[edit]

The second round of the 2024 WikiCup ended on 28 April. This round was particularly competitive: each of the 32 contestants who advanced to Round 3 scored at least 141 points. This is the highest number of points required to advance to Round 3 since 2014.

The following scorers in Round 2 all scored more than 500 points:

The full scores for Round 2 can be seen here. So far this year, competitors have gotten 18 featured articles, 22 featured lists, and 186 good articles, 76 in the news credits and at least 200 did you know credits. They have conducted 165 featured article reviews, as well as 399 good article reviews and peer reviews, and have added 21 articles to featured topics and good topics.

Remember that any content promoted after 28 April but before the start of Round 3 can be claimed during Round 3, which starts on 1 May at 00:00 (UTC).

RFA2024 update: phase I concluded, phase II begins[edit]

Hi there! Phase I of the Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review has concluded, with several impactful changes gaining community consensus and proceeding to various stages of implementation. Some proposals will be implemented in full outright; others will be discussed at phase II before being implemented; and still others will proceed on a trial basis before being brought to phase II. The following proposals have gained consensus:

See the project page for a full list of proposals and their outcomes. A huge thank-you to everyone who has participated so far :) looking forward to seeing lots of hard work become a reality in phase II. theleekycauldron (talk), via MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 08:08, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox feud casualty section[edit]

Hi! Is there any way a casualty section (like on the civil/military conflict infoboxes) can be added to Template:Infobox feud? It would be really helpful for the East Coast–West Coast hip hop rivalry article, as I was planning on adding the infobox. Thanks! GLORIOUSEXISTENCE (talk) 03:49, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! Yes, I initially removed it when forking the infobox (to avoid additions like this), but it can be added back! Chaotıċ Enby (talk · contribs) 10:49, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@GLORIOUSEXISTENCE Done! Chaotıċ Enby (talk · contribs) 10:59, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I can't spell this word[edit]

Nor can I — I originally looked for Category:Redirects to a millenium to see if such a category existed, then wondered for a bit about why it had been G7ed :) {{self-trout}} ‍—‍a smart kitten[meow] 13:52, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think you and another editor have been reverting a vandal, but I don't know who it is.[edit]

The other editor is User:Wikishovel If that editor isn't blocked, I'll do it. Doug Weller talk 14:09, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't remember that, the only interaction I've had with a vandal recently was sending User:71211.21User to SPI. Chaotıċ Enby (talk · contribs) 14:14, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
