Looking for help and feedback

[edit]

Hi, Pine, my name is Allen. Currently a Communication major junior student at University of Washington. I heard that you are a very active Wikipedian with full of knowledge. I just created a new article about Legacy House. Can you give me some feedback/suggestion or even revise my article. Here are the website for Legacy House website with some notability news: Legacy House official site and news links. I would be very appreciate and honor if you can receive some feedback from you as a newcomer on Wikipedia. Looking forward for your response . Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Allenl5566 (talkcontribs) 03:07, 28 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hello there and thank you for your splendid video, it's absolutely stunning. Now then, how do I translate it to Polish? We could really use it as most likely the 5 million mark will spill over to our media as well, why not send them a goodie :)

Any help would be appreciated: what software did you use, is there a clean (no texts) version available somewhere, what font is it… //Halibutt 10:28, 30 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • @Halibutt: thanks for the compliment (:. Direct translation is not an option from my end because that video and surrounding issues (legal and technical) have been very time consuming and I have other issues that I need to address with my time. However, you can see in the credits which files I used from Commons if you want to use them for your own video, or you could set up subtitles of the video on Commons. The font I used is Garamond. I used an old version of Nero Video software which had some good factors but also some problems. I would highly recommend using 64-bit video software. You can find reviews of video editing software by doing a web search. I would also advise you to set aside a lot of time to make an elaborate video like this one. I estimate that this one took about 90 hours of time for research, production, legal clearances, and publication; it might have required less time if I had newer software, but it would still be a big job. Good luck, --Pine 20:46, 30 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the info, though you got me wrong apparently, I'm willing to do the job myself, I have the time and I did some video editing in the past (nothing fancy, but I can cope with the basics). If you would be willing to upload a no-text version somewhere (stripped of the main texts, the license info and list of original files is ok as is), translating the texts and uploading the result to Commons would take considerably less time than re-creating the entire video, with all the transitions, music synchro and whatnot. If that's out of the question - fine, we'll make something similar ourselves. //Halibutt 21:06, 30 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Halibutt: Probably a no-go. Rendering, converting and uploading are more time-consuming than you might think, and I really need to be doing things other than working on this video. (: For what it's worth, if I'd known how time-consuming this project would be, I would have stuck with something much simpler, probably just the fireworks scene and the milestone announcement, and then let the community text message on Wikipedia:Five million articles take care of the rest. I'd suggest that you consider that option, since it will save a lot of time. --Pine 21:33, 30 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Hmmm, you know how it goes, will have to check for myself anyway :) Thanks again for the video - and for the tips. //Halibutt 23:07, 30 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Just in time :)

A barnstar for you!

WikiCup 2015: The results

[edit]

WikiCup 2015 is now in the books! Congrats to our finalists and winners, and to everyone who took part in this year's competition.

This year's results were an exact replica of last year's competition. For the second year in a row, the 2015 WikiCup champion is Smithsonian Institution Godot13 (submissions) (FP bonus points). All of his points were earned for an impressive 253 featured pictures and their associated bonus points (5060 and 1695, respectively). His entries constituted scans of currency from all over the world and scans of medallions awarded to participants of the U.S. Space program. Wales Cwmhiraeth (submissions) came in second place; she earned by far the most bonus points (4082), for 4 featured articles, 15 good articles, and 147 DYKs, mostly about in her field of expertise, natural science. Belarus Cas Liber (submissions), a finalist every year since 2010, came in third, with 2379 points.

Our newcomer award, presented to the best-performing new competitor in the WikiCup, goes to United States Rationalobserver (submissions). Everyone should be very proud of the work they accomplished. We will announce our other award winners soon.

A full list of our award winners are:

We warmly invite all of you to sign up for next year's competition. Discussions and polls concerning potential rules changes are also open, and all are welcome to participate. The WikiCup judges will be back in touch over the coming months, and we hope to see you all in the 2016 competition. Until then, it only remains to once again congratulate our worthy winners, and thank all participants for their involvement!

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Shooting of John T. Williams, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Western State Hospital. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

University of South Florida editathon

[edit]

Hello Pine,

Abbey Ripstra recommended that I get in contact with you. I am about to host my second edit-a-thon here at the University of South Florida, and I'd like to share some resources with some of the new of first time editors which may be helpful in their learning how to edit. Are there any that you can recommend to me? By the way, the edit-a-thon is open for everyone, and you are invited! If you are interested, let me know and I'll send you an invite to join us through Google Hangout. It will be tomorrow (Thursday) from noon till 3:00 Eastern time.

Kind Regards, James E. Scholz (talk) 00:03, 18 November 2015 (UTC)James E. Scholz[reply]

@James E. Scholz: hello, you might take a look at this planning checklist. You could also ask our colleagues at Wikimedia District of Columbia for advice, since they are closer to you. Good luck! --Pine 00:07, 18 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Paris reactions

[edit]

Regarding this, you might want to read the talk page. That gallery has been removed before and it is going to end up being removed again - it is absolutely ridiculous and exactly why we have the Commons category templates. - Sitush (talk) 20:05, 19 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Sitush I was reformatting the images that were already there and had problematic formatting, not adding new images. Feel free to propose on the talk page that the gallery be removed, although in its current form I think the images add to the encyclopedic value of the article and can stay. I do think that the number of images in that gallery is near the upper limit of what's reasonable. --Pine 20:14, 19 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, I realise what you were doing and wasn't suggesting that you added more.
The gallery and most of those images had been removed previously but someone reinstated them - the regulars, such as they are, are now realising that I was right to say that such lists and galleries act as magnets for yet more of the same and ultimately will swamp the article. Thus, your edit is just likely to be somewhat pointless. Unless perhaps in the interim it makes it easier for people using the mobile view? I'd never thought of that before, and I suppose it might do. - Sitush (talk) 20:20, 19 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

WikiCup 2016 is just around the corner...

[edit]

Hello everyone, and we would like to wish you all a happy holiday season. As you will probably already know, the 2016 WikiCup begins in the new year; there is still time to sign up. There are some changes we'd like to announce before the competition begins.

After two years of serving as WikiCup judge, User:Miyagawa has stepped down as judge. He deserves great thanks and recognition for his dedication and hard work, and for providing necessary transition for a new group of judges in last year's Cup. Joining Christine (User:Figureskatingfan) and Jason (User:Sturmvogel 66) is Andrew (User:Godot13), a very successful WikiCup competitor and expert in Featured Pictures; he won the two previous competitions. This is a strong judging team, and we anticipate lots of enjoyment and good work coming from our 2016 competitors.

We would also like to announce one change in how this year's WikiCup will be run. In the spirit of sportsmanship, Godot13 and Cwmhiraeth have chosen to limit their participation. See here for the announcement and a complete explanation of why. They and the judges feel that it will make for a more exciting, enjoyable, and productive competition.

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. The judges are committed to not repeating the confusion that occurred last year and to ensuring 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.

@Titodutta: yes, that's me. Thank you for the compliment. I'd be most grateful for a barnstar! There is a list of them here, and you can select which one you think is appropriate. Regards, --Pine 02:10, 31 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yes, barnstar should follow soon. But, the particular barnstar I was thinking -- we don't have it still. We can create directly, or discuss with mailing list. I have prepared a post draft:
Just now I was talking to User:Pine on-wiki and I informed him that I thoroughly enjoyed some of his posts on this mailing list. I also thought to give him a barnstar for this. But, we do not have any "Wikimedia Mailing list barnstar".
Should we create one? What do you think? If it sounds okay, someone of us can go ahead and create Template:Wikimedia Mailing List Barnstar on En WP (and preferably on Meta also).
If it is okay, I'll send this to Wikimedia-l. if they don't think that we need this barnstar, I'll select from one of the existing ones. --Tito Dutta (talk) 02:34, 31 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Revisiting Assurant

[edit]

Hey Pine, hope you're doing well. Do you have some time to spare to help me update Assurant again?
