TheWikiWizard-June 2021

[edit]

Hello, Nomian! Here is the June 2021 issue of TheWikiWizard.

Wikipedia News

[edit]
  • The IRC channels used for Wikipedia have changed, you can read more on it here. While TWW was aware of this in the last issue, we decided to wait and publish this in this issue, when the issue is not as new any more, and more information has been developed.
  • There was quick interruption in editing on Wikipedia, that was to test server switching should an emergency happen, more details can be found here.

Humour

  • Internet Explorer still thinks freenode is the best IRC service!
  • It has been proven that editing the article Cheese while eating Cheese is considered a WP:COI.

WikiCup 2022 September newsletter

WikiCup 2023 September newsletter

[edit]

The fourth round of the competition has finished, with anyone scoring less than 673 points being eliminated. It was a high scoring round with all but one of the contestants who progressed to the final having achieved an FA during the round. The highest scorers were

  • New York (state) Epicgenius, with 2173 points topping the scores, gained mainly from a featured article, 38 good articles and 9 DYKs. He was followed by
  • Sammi Brie, with 1575 points, gained mainly from a featured article, 28 good articles and 50 good article reviews. Close behind was
  • Thebiguglyalien, with 1535 points mainly gained from a featured article, 15 good articles, 26 good article reviews and lots of bonus points.

Between them during round 4, contestants achieved 12 featured articles, 3 featured lists, 3 featured pictures, 126 good articles, 46 DYK entries, 14 ITN entries, 67 featured article candidate reviews and 147 good article reviews. Congratulations to our eight finalists and 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 and within 24 hours of the end of the final. 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. If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove your name from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

I will be standing down as a judge after the end of the contest. I think the Cup encourages productive editors to improve their contributions to Wikipedia and I hope that someone else will step up to take over the running of the Cup. Sturmvogel 66 (talk), and Cwmhiraeth (talk)

Addressing Reversions and Ensuring Accurate Reporting

[edit]

Reaching a consensus is indeed important, but it must be based on a thorough and fair consideration of the facts. When edits about well-documented violence against Hindus are frequently reverted and there appears to be coordinated effort to suppress these updates, it hampers meaningful dialogue.

Rather than focusing on media credibility alone, which can be subjective, we should prioritize the accuracy and relevance of the information being discussed. It’s crucial that we address these serious issues transparently and ensure that the content reflects the reality of the situation without bias. Let’s work together to include accurate, evidence-based information and foster a constructive discussion that respects all viewpoints. JESUS (talk) 11:52, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Warning: Disruptive Editing

[edit]

Information icon Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions did not appear to be constructive and have been reverted. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use your sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Thank you.

I want to address the recent editing patterns regarding the "2024 Bangladesh anti-Hindu violence" article. It’s crucial that we maintain a collaborative and respectful editing environment, especially on sensitive topics like this one.

I have observed that you have been reverting changes without engaging in discussions on the talk page. This kind of behavior disrupts the editing process and can lead to confusion and frustration among other contributors. Wikipedia thrives on collaboration, and it's important that all editors work together to find common ground.

Instead of reverting edits, I encourage you to share your concerns on the talk page. Discussing the sources and the information in question will help us reach a consensus that respects all viewpoints. Disputes should be resolved through dialogue, not through repeated reverts.

Please consider this a formal warning. Continued disruptive behavior could result in administrative action, which I hope to avoid. Let’s aim to improve the article collaboratively and ensure that it adheres to Wikipedia's standards for neutrality and verifiability.

Thank you for your understanding, and I look forward to constructive discussions moving forward.

Best regards, JESUS (talk) 07:53, 21 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Warning for Personal Attack

[edit]

Information icon Hello, I'm Jesuspaul502. I noticed that you made a comment on the page Nomian that didn't seem very civil, so it may have been removed. Wikipedia is built on collaboration, so it's one of our core principles to interact with one another in a polite and respectful manner. If you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Nomian, I want to remind you of Wikipedia's policy on **[No Personal Attacks](http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Wikipedia:No_personal_attacks)** (WP:NPA). Your recent comments have included remarks that seem more directed at me as an editor than focused on improving the article's content. It's important that we keep discussions respectful and focused on content, rather than making personal comments.

Please consider this as a reminder to maintain a collaborative and respectful environment. Let's focus on content and work together constructively. Thank you JESUS (talk) 19:25, 22 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
