Women in Green's "Around the World in 31 Days" GA Editathon – October 2024

[edit]
Extended content

Hello Another Believer:

WikiProject Women in Green is holding a month-long Good Article Edit-a-thon event in October 2024!

Running from October 1 to 31, 2024, WikiProject Women in Green (WiG) is hosting a Good Article (GA) edit-a-thon event with the theme Around the World in 31 Days! All experience levels welcome. Never worked on a GA project before? We'll teach you how to get started. Or maybe you're an old hand at GAs – we'd love to have you involved! Participants are invited to work on nominating and/or reviewing GA submissions related to women and women's works (e.g., books, films) during the event period. We hope to collectively cover article subjects from at least 31 countries (or broader international articles) by month's end. GA resources and one-on-one support will be provided by experienced GA editors, and participants will have the opportunity to earn a special WiG barnstar for their efforts.

We hope to see you there!

Wikimedia Foundation Bulletin September Issue 1

[edit]
Extended content
Here is a quick overview of highlights from the Wikimedia Foundation over the first half of September 2024. Please help Translate.

Upcoming and current events and conversations Talking: 2024 continues


Annual Goals Progress on Infrastructure See also newsletters: Wikimedia Apps · Growth · Research · Web · Wikifunctions & Abstract Wikipedia · Tech News · Language and Internationalization · other newsletters on Mediawiki.org

  • Users of all Wikis will have access to Wikimedia sites as read-only for a few minutes on September 25, starting at 15:00 UTC. This is a planned datacenter switchover for maintenance purposes.
  • The Alternative Text suggested edits feature has now been fully deployed to production on the iOS App for Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese, and French Wikipedias! This feature, part of WE1.2, is designed to enhance how newcomers add alt text to images, aiming to improve accessibility and engagement. For more details, visit the project page and explore the new feature in the app!
  • Editors and volunteer developers interested in data visualization can now test the new software for charts. Its early version is available on beta Commons and beta Wikipedia. This is an important milestone before making charts available on regular wikis. You can read more about this project update and help test the charts.
  • A new draft text of a policy discussing the use of Wikimedia’s APIs has been published on Meta-Wiki. The draft text does not reflect a change in policy around the APIs; instead, it is an attempt to codify existing API rules. Comments, questions, and suggestions are welcome on the proposed update’s talk page until September 13 or until those discussions have concluded.
  • More recent tech updates from Tech News.
  • The latest status updates from Wikifunctions.
  • Help us find WikiProjects or other online collaboration spaces!

Restaurant articles

[edit]
Extended content

Greetings, While de-orphaning Category:Orphaned articles from September 2024 articles, I found these which you created.

These articles may be Run-of-the-mill, nothing exceptional. A two sentence article is missing notable information such as when established, people, events or cuisine worth including in the content. Thank you for helping to build Wikipedia encyclopedia.

Portland (area) street crossings

[edit]

I found this concerning pedestrian crossing flags in Sandy, if you want to expand the pedestrian crossings article to include the Portland area outside of the city proper. Not the greatest source, but here is an indication that guerilla pedestrian flags have appeared in the Concordia neighborhood, too. ☆ Bri (talk) 18:24, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Bri Thanks! I'd prefer to keep the entry PDX-specific, but I'll take a look at the Concordia news. Hoping to find more sources about artistic crossings; there don't seem to be as many as there are in Seattle. ---Another Believer (Talk) 18:28, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

[edit]

Extended content

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on St. Mary's Cemetery (Washington, D.C.) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, images, a rephrasing of the title, a question that should have been asked at the help or reference desks, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Thanks for uploading File:Saturday Sessions The Dermot O'Leary Show album cover.jpg. 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 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).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:52, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

so...want to dyk-nominate it? It does clear prose requirements and has been expanded fivefold (383 prose characters before today to 2007 now). You're welcome to nominate it, as the article creator – I do have two or three interesting hooks I can already come up with from the article, so if you'd like, I'll post them here. I imagine you might have some interesting hooks as well. I really don't have a preference on who nominates it if we're doing a DYK nomination; also, the article was part of an edit-a-thon at WikiConference North America 2024 today in Indianapolis, so you're welcome! :) ~ Tails Wx 02:42, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
