DYK for Trunk-or-treating

On 31 October 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Trunk-or-treating, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that trunk-or-treating was created as a safer alternative to regular trick-or-treating? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Trunk-or-treating. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Trunk-or-treating), 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.

WikiCup 2024 November newsletter

The 2024 WikiCup has come to an end, with the final round being a very tight race. Our new champion is AirshipJungleman29 (submissions), who scored 2,283 points mainly through 3 high-multiplier FAs and 3 GAs on military history topics. By a 1% margin, Airship beat out last year's champion, Delaware BeanieFan11 (submissions), who scored second with 2,264 points, mainly from an impressive 58 GAs about athletes. In third place, Generalissima (submissions) scored 1,528 points, primarily from two FAs on U.S. Librarians of Congress and 20 GAs about various historical topics. Our other finalists are: Sammi Brie (submissions) with 879 points, Canada Hey man im josh (submissions) with 533 points, BennyOnTheLoose (submissions) with 432 points, Arconning (submissions) with 244 points, and Christmas Island AryKun (submissions) with 15 points. Congratulations to our finalists and all who participated!

The final round was very productive, and contestants had 7 FAs, 9 FLs, 94 GAs, 73 FAC reviews, and 79 GAN reviews and peer reviews. Altogether, Wikipedia has benefited greatly from the activities of WikiCup competitors all through the contest. Well done everyone!

All those who reached the final will receive awards and the following special awards will be made, based on high performance in particular areas of content creation. So that the finalists do not have an undue advantage, these prizes are awarded to the competitor who scored the highest in any particular field in a single round, or in the event of a tie, to the overall leader in this field.

Next year's competition will begin on 1 January. You are invited to sign up to participate; the WikiCup is open to all Wikipedians, both novices and experienced editors, and we hope to see you all in the 2025 competition. Until then, it only remains to once again congratulate our worthy winners, and thank all participants for their involvement!

Question from SpaceNerd13 (00:03, 7 November 2024)

Hi, um how do I edit the title of a page? Anytime I create one, weather its in sandbox or not, it just says User: SpaceNerd13. Could you please give me some help?

-SpaceNerd13 --SpaceNerd13 (talk) 00:03, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, @SpaceNerd13! If you're going to "edit" the title of a page, that would require moving the page to the requested name for the title to be changed. There should be your userspace sandbox User:SpaceNerd13/sandbox – you just haven't created that page yet. If you're asking on how to publish an article, you could create one by writing one under a specific name -- but since you're a newcomer, I highly suggest you go through a draft process first. Let me know if you have any further questions or if there's something I missed! ~ Tails Wx 05:18, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from RodFerOfficial (01:54, 20 November 2024)

Hi Tails!

I'm just asking a small question: how can I find errors that barely any people miss? I like to keep things nice and tidy so I also gotta look for those small issues too.

Thanks! --RodFerOfficial (talk) 01:54, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, @RodFerOfficial! There are errors can be fixed by resolving a tag in an article. Tags are essentially maintenance tags that are placed on an article for whatever reason related to cleanup of it. You can find some articles that have issues to be fixed by heading over to that link and finding articles that need fixing by clicking the "links" next to a respective tag there! ~ Tails Wx 22:31, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from SpaceNerd13 (16:06, 20 November 2024)

Hi Mr Tails,

How do I get media, such as images of videos, onto Wikipedia pages with a proper license? Because some of the pictures that I posted got deleted because of incorrect license (and by license, do they mean what the original owner has put, or what it compiles to on Wikipedia?)

Thanks, SpaceNerd13 --SpaceNerd13 (talk) 16:06, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@SpaceNerd13: Hi there, I'm a friend of Tails who asked me to answer this question due to them being busy. If I correctly understand your question, it's how to upload an image/video. Well, uploading is simple, just follow the steps described on commons:Special:UploadWizard. By uploading media to Wikimedia Commons you allow entirety of the Wikimedia projects to use your media on their sites. Only condition is a free license or expended copyright. If you own copyright to media you'd like to upload (which, I warn you, is not the same as only possessing the media), that usually means you're the author, then hooray, we're halfway there. Just choose one of the licenses Commons accept (CC-BY-SA) and they do wary to some degree. I'd like to warn you that with such actions you allow commercial usage as well - meaning companies can use your media for profit as long as they fulfil license pre-requirements. If media is in public domain, tag it with an appropriate license (usually starts as PD-something). If you don't own copyright, then you need to ask the copyright owner for a permission. Get them to sent that permission to VRT queue as is described on commons:COM:VRT, where an agent will review the permission.
I hope I have adressed all of your concerns, if not, please do not waste any more time and get in touch here. Best regards, A09|(talk) 21:57, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from James J. Buckley (20:26, 21 November 2024)

Tails,

I have an essay on a deceased 20th century philosopher of religion not yet included on Wikipedia. The essay is about 10 pages (single spaced) of a Word document, with half a dozen footnotes and a bibliography of about 30 items. I have considerable experience editing for journals. But I have no experience with editing for Wikipedia -- which I value enough to support financially every couple of years. I’ve read through the Wiki instructions on editing. They are understandably complex, and I am not sure where to begin. Perhaps I could start with learning to edit my footnotes? OR the bibliography? Thanks much for your advice. Jim --James J. Buckley (talk) 20:26, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I can’t see anything here. What’s happening? James J. Buckley (talk) 20:47, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@James J. Buckley: Hi, I am A09 and I've been asked to answer this question due to Tails' momentary absence. First, I'd like to point out that the Wikimedia Community has developed some tools to easen conversion from desktop text editors to wikimarkup, and as you have a Word file already prepared, Help:WordToWiki might come handy. While your concerns are much valuable, I believe the easiest path would be to follow Help:Your first article. Since your first article would be a biography (and assuming it would pass notability criteria for people), the best second read would be Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Biography which provides further insight on how to construct this type of page. My general advice to newcomers is to start simple because no one has written a complete article in a single edit. We learn new things with each edit we do no matter how experienced we are.
I hope I have addressed all of your concerns, if not, please do not hesitate to contact us with Tails again. Best regards, A09|(talk) 22:12, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Counter-Vandalism Training Request

Hi, Tails!! My name is Fludd, I've reached close to 200 edits, and I've been looking to potentially join the Counter-Vandalism Unit! I've been on Wikipedia for over a year now and plan on committing to it for the rest of my life, as I deeply value this site and its community. I would love to help fight the eternal battle against vandalism and become a proper member of the Unit, so if you're still taking on students, I would love to be taught by you! Thank you so much. -- FluddStop - Dirty's meaner than clean! 07:26, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@FluddStop: Hi and welcome. I'm A09 and I have been approached by Tails Wx to answer this question due to their circumstances. As far as I believe, and per current data on Wikipedia:Counter-Vandalism Unit/Academy/Instructors Tails sadly is not open to mentoring any new students. Whether this is true or if Tails Wx is planning on expanding his mentorship, it's up to him and not me. I'd like to praise your commitment to anti vandal working and if you have any further questions, please contact us and we'll try to answer your prompts. Best regards, A09|(talk) 22:01, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, no worries then! I'll try to seek out a mentor with an available student slot, I completely missed that part! Thank you so much for letting me know.

counter-vandalism

does that include eliminating the far left bias that almost all wiki admins have ? 2601:589:4101:16F8:A563:6C26:FBDB:2269 (talk) 00:03, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You'll need to have some concrete evidence to support your claims, but no, counter-vandalism is not meant for this. A09|(talk) 17:41, 27 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
is this "concrete" evidence enough for you? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kiRgJYMw6YA 2601:589:4101:51EE:30EA:CAA8:E172:3C9C (talk) 11:38, 7 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
No, it won't be. ~ Tails Wx 17:20, 7 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
yup, predictable response...
welp if simple common sense truths and facts are not a "reliable source" then here's the reality of just one article protected by "far left" admins - Matt Gaetz talk page has questioned it "So the Next Attorney General is far-right ?"
It's not a description. It's designed as a pejorative insult by hateful people who wish to stretch the Overton window for political gain towards their preference. The intent is to allow undefined pejoratives such as this to be loosely thrown around by a half-dozen political pundits who are opponents and hope to then use otherwise legitimate sites such as Wikipedia to then link to "far-right" and paint a Nazi picture. The good news is that these people are why Donald Trump was elected and why the Democrats are losing in every state. They believe that lies like this belong on Wikipedia separating a legitimate and mainstream politician from "is Nazi" by only one-click justified by Op-ed pieces from political rivals. There's no room for legitimacy (such as on Wikipedia) when there are left-wing politics to force-feed to Wikipedia users. This tactic is old and spent and being rejected nationwide. I can link multiple articles from equally reliable sources that show anyone using this tactic is left-wing extremist, but they would reject that notion because they don't feel it fits them and their narrative. The double standard is obvious and available for everyone to see here. Just remember to Thank all the far-left politically motivated people such as this for the destruction of their party and the resounding election of Donald Trump..
Instead of using the obvious logical conclusion that in one of the biggest land slide elections of most folks' lifetimes choosing this administration means it cannot be "far right" because it is the middle of the right by any bell curve distribution, they are effectively defining most of the country as far-right... an insult that keeps them losing. Keep losing. Keep using Wikipedia to further your losing political perspective and keep growing the GOP. :DB36:83C6:5742 (talk) 08:48, 14 November 2024 (UTC)
We go with what the reliable sources say around here, but keep typing paragraphs if you want. TarnishedPathtalk 10:09, 14 November 2024 (UTC)
Your comment is too "far right" and will be deleted by a morally superior "administrator".
Wikipedia is not an encyclopedia. It is a leftist propaganda mouthpiece. All the reasons you cited and many more are not enough to make the "editors" and "administrators" refrain from pushing a political viewpoint. Good look and don't trust wikipedia. Do your own research. 2A02:8084:901:2580:CC18:5E80:FF4E:86F0 (talk) 10:58, 14 November 2024 (UTC)
Yup, couldn't of said it better myself. "morally superior admin" gave me a good chuckle lol.. Thank you lord for our incoming President of the United States of America. 170.55.61.26 (talk) 23:19, 7 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Kingsmasher678: you're welcome to, sure! I'm really busy at the moment so I don't think I have the time to do anything here through the next week or so. I'll be back active as usual before Christmas, at the least. I'll add on anything there if necessary at that time. ~ Tails Wx 03:17, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
