Signpost

Hi, I was just taking a look at your draft for the Featured Content section of the Signpost and just as an idea...SheiKra became Wikipedia's first amusement attraction/ride related article to become a Featured Article so maybe put a mention in the article saying this (as it is a pretty big "milestone"). Now don't take this the wrong way in that I'm telling you this just because I was the nominator....that's not the reason. The only reason is because it is a significant promotion in Wikipedia's history.--Dom497 (talk) 01:03, 17 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'll sewe what I can do :) We don'r usually mention those milestones, I think. But it would be a nice change of pace :) — ΛΧΣ21 01:15, 17 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Harold, thank you for the note.--MarshalN20 | Talk 04:39, 13 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Music charts

Hi Harold! I miss those times when we would look for music charts for Latin American countries. I'm looking through old magazines and I found some vital information for the Venezuelan music charts. Here it is. I thought you should know. :) Erick (talk) 10:26, 19 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yay. We should do that again in the future when I get back my time to dedicate to Wikipedia. Good old times :) — ΛΧΣ21 16:33, 23 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The Signpost: 19 June 2013

Hello, thanks for your work writing the featured content reports for the Signpost. However, please don't put blank lines between list items; it makes the lists of featured content more difficult to read for screen reader users like myself. See the relevant section of the accessibility guideline for more details. I've fixed this a few times in various Signpost issues, but I'm not sure if you were aware of the problem. Graham87 03:19, 21 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oh. No, I wasn't aware. Thanks for letting me know, Graham. I will be more careful next time. Cheers! — ΛΧΣ21 05:38, 21 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Assignment One

Done :) While I've generally known about different types of vandalism, I've never actually searched for a specific type before . .and it wasn't as easy I thought it would be. . . so I didn't end up looking for a needle in a haystack, I learned how to better utilize the recent changes patrol, making good use of it's search options.

Examples I found:

Bend Her and the Signpost

Just a heads up on a mistake I just caught: You managed to turn an image of Bend Her - a burlesque featuring horses on roller skates and female protagonists very loosely based on Ben-Hur - into an actual stage performance of Ben-Hur. There's an important difference there, I think you'll agree. Adam Cuerden (talk) 10:38, 23 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, thanks for that fix. Yep, I agree, though I don't know much on the subject :) — ΛΧΣ21 16:29, 23 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
It's rather obscure. I actually have a Ben-Hur image in the list of possibles for future restoration, as it happens. Adam Cuerden (talk) 08:35, 26 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, I saw this needed a review at GAN as part of staying part of a topic, so I had a look. It's on hold. We can fix this up reasonably quickly I think. A few English grammar issues, but nothing we can't sort out. Let me know how you're getting on, or if you need more comments or explanations. Best wishes, The Rambling Man (talk) 15:38, 23 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, thanks! I will try to address all the comments this week. Ugh I wish I had time again like I used to. Cheers. — ΛΧΣ21 16:34, 23 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Just out of curiosity...

Remember how you mentioned that you were working on a script to make passing/failing/holding/asking for a second opinion easier for reviewers during the RfC? How's that going along? I know your busy so don't think that I have expectations of you (I really don't).....I'm just asking because I just want to know the "status" of this project.--Dom497 (talk) 17:58, 23 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hey! I'm not going to freak out :) I asked a friend long ago to help me with the script, but I think I'd have to ask somebody else. I will try to have it done as soon as possible, given that it will make GA work more easy. Cheers. — ΛΧΣ21 18:00, 23 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Greetings! Yes, you need to make a new, fresh request at WP:A/R/C, and add the old evidence on your statement. You could also just link to the old case request, although most arbs that participated in it are now gone, since copying all that information will just be space consuming.

WikiCup 2013 June newsletter

We are down to our final 16: the 2013 semi-finals are upon us. A score of 321 was required to survive round 3, further cementing this as the most competitive WikiCup yet; round 3 was survived in 2012 with 243 points, in 2011 with 76 points and in 2010 with 250 points. The change may in part be to do with the fact that more articles are now awarded bonus points, in addition to more competitive play. Reaching the final has, in the past, required 573 points (2012, a 135% increase on the score needed to reach round 4), 150 points (2011, a 97% increase) and 417 points (2010, a 72% increase). This round has seen over a third of participants claiming points for featured articles (with seven users claiming for multiple featured articles) and most users have also gained bonus points. However, the majority of points continue to come from good articles, followed by did you know articles. In this round, every content type was utilised by at least one user, proving that the WikiCup brings together content contributors from all corners of the project.

Round 3 saw a number of contributions of note. Idaho Figureskatingfan (submissions) claimed the first featured topic points in this year's competition for her excellent work on topics related to Maya Angelou, the noted American author and poet. We have also continued to see high-importance articles improved as part of the competition: Wyoming Ealdgyth (submissions) was awarded a thoroughly well-earned 560 points for her featured article Middle Ages and 102 points for her good article Battle of Hastings. Good articles James Chadwick and Stanislaw Ulam netted Australia Hawkeye7 (submissions) 102 and 72 points respectively, while 72 points were awarded to Poland Piotrus (submissions) for each of Władysław Sikorski and Emilia Plater, both recently promoted to good article status. Collaborative efforts between WikiCup participants have continued, with, for example, New South Wales Casliber (submissions) and Canada Sasata (submissions) being awarded 180 points each for their featured article on Boletus luridus.

A rules reminder: content promoted between rounds can be claimed in the round after the break, but not the round before. The case in point is content promoted on the 29/30 June, which may be claimed in this round. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. We are currently seeing concern about the amount of time people have to wait for reviews, especially at GAC- if you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to reduce the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

Question

Hi Hahc21, so sorry to trouble you. I know you're really smart so I just thought I'd ask you Lol. Are any of these pictures posted to Flickr allowed to be uploaded to the Commons?: [1], [2], [3], [4], [5] (a photostream), [6], [7], [8], [9]. I searched flickr under the "Creative Commons" advanced option. I'm kinda dumb when it comes to this, aha. Hope you can tell me if these are able to be uploaded to Commons. :) Sorry for the hassle. Arre 13:03, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, these can be uploaded: [10], [11],
And these cannot: [12], [13], [14], [15], [16], [17].
When you check the license, make sure it doesn't contain "-nd" or "-nc". Wikimedia only accepts images with "cc-by-sa" or "cc-by" licenses when it comes to Creative Commons. Licenses like cc-by-nd, and cc-by-nc are not eligible for upload :( Cheers. — ΛΧΣ21 16:54, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Ohh okay thankyou so much for telling me. Btw if I want to have a pic uploaded to commons (this one) is there anyone that can do it for me? Arre 23:51, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Yup. You can upload it using the Flickr Upload Bot :) It just needs the Flickr image address and your username and you're good to go :) — ΛΧΣ21 01:19, 2 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I tried to upload this one[18] but the page was deleted.. It said: "Administrator GeorgHH deleted this page after you started editing it, with a reason of: "copyvio http://www.jenniferlopez.com/officialphotos/191 Copyright © 2007 SONY BMG MUSIC ENTERTAINMENT. All Rights Reserved." Arre 07:16, 3 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
What? it is not a copyvio. Actually, the Flickr file includes the Exif data, which makes it even more credible that it is free. Upload it again, and contact the administrator of he/she deleted it again. Ffs. — ΛΧΣ21 14:08, 3 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Please read the template documentation

Flatlists are not permitted comma separated lists are. Please self-revert. Walter Görlitz (talk) 13:14, 2 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hey! Have you seen the documentation? It permits both flatlists and commas; and also, what the documentation says is not binding. They are recommendations on how to use the template, but not limitations. — ΛΧΣ21 13:56, 2 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

FAC Promotion

I think you forgot to promote List of Kings Island attractions after you removed it from the FAC list ([19]) (Review page).--Dom497 (talk) 21:25, 3 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hmmmm. It is supposed to be closed by a bot. I may look into it today to see what happened with the bot. Cheers. — ΛΧΣ21 21:27, 3 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comments???

I was wondering if you are interested on giving comments on my featured list Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series, it is currently a FLC. This would mean the world to me, if you will be willing! This time I would like to be responded other than be ignore. SoapFan12 20:22, 21 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oh my! I didn't notice your other comment. I'm sorry! I will try to review it today. Cheers! — ΛΧΣ21 20:28, 21 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, you've got three supports (not including Crisco's, which is being held off). I'd prefer to stay available to close that FLC instead of review it, if you don't mind. Cheers. — ΛΧΣ21 20:30, 21 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, so you are going to close that FLC today? SoapFan12Talk page here smile 20:32, 21 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Well, not today. Most FLCs are left open for about 10 days to two weeks. Yours has been opened for seven days, so maybe in three days it'll be closed if all concerns are addressed by then :) Cheers. — ΛΧΣ21 20:35, 21 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, thanks. :) I was wondering if you would be interested on working on Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series or Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series today? Espically on the prose and if you can find more information to add into the lead (like the broadcast history info)? SoapFan12Talk page here smile 20:38, 21 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I would like to, but I'd be lying to you if I say that I can. I sadly lack the time to do content work as of late :( Maybe when I'm full of time we could do one of those. Cheers. — ΛΧΣ21 20:40, 21 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, thanks for willing! When are you back full time? Because I can wait a week or two. SoapFan12 Talk page here smile 20:43, 21 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Also, in three days can I just remind you to promote my list? SoapFan12 Talk page here smile 23:56, 21 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Not sure when I will have time again. I am currently editing here and there trying to get some projects I have in my list done. Maybe by October or so I could be totally back. Right now I'm focusing on my other duties :) And there is no need to notify me, I check WP:FLC every two or three days to check if any list is ready. Cheers. — ΛΧΣ21 23:58, 21 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, thank you so much! SoapFan12 Talk page here smile 00:04, 22 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I was wondering if you can give you're imput for my FLC about Overlinking/Underlinking (a reviewer needs other people to give their opinion on)? If that okay? SoapFan12 Talk page here smile 00:11, 22 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
In my humblest opinion, overlinking is never beneficial. Even on lists that contain tables that can be rearranged or sorted, I'd advice to only use as much links as needed, and fewer as possible. For example, if you link something in the lead, then you should only link it once in the list body and once in the references. Usually, the link goes in the first occurrence of the word, and subsequent occurrences go unlinked. The primary goal of this approach is to avoid having the so-called "sea of blue" that can distract the reader from the list itself.

In this specific case, I see that Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series has a lot of things linked more than once (especially the programs), and I would advice against that. You should order the links from top to bottom according to the "default" sorting, as readers would certainly look through the list this way before sorting the table to a different order. However, most of these things are personal and reviewer preference and some lists are okay with a bunch of links, and some are okay without them. It is all in the eyes of the beholder. Cheers. — ΛΧΣ21 00:30, 22 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yes I understand, but it would lack of serious visual appeal. I believe it should be left alone. SoapFan12 Talk page here smile 00:35, 22 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
As I said, it depends on personal and reviewer preference :) — ΛΧΣ21 00:37, 22 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Distinctions

Read again what I wrote. "This information" should be replaced with "Some information", etc. Kiefer.Wolfowitz 12:34, 22 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"Some" is incorrect. Mark Arsten has only used one account two accounts before his current account. So, as someone said long ago, put your money where your mouth is and remove the accusation unless you have evidence. — ΛΧΣ21 17:46, 22 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Your tone is as appropriate as your quantification is fluent. Mark did disclose another account. Notice that he did not use "all", "every", or "only". Kiefer.Wolfowitz 19:27, 22 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
It really doesn't matter. I apologize if my tone was a bit over the line, but this whole Mark-is-a-sockmaster nonsense is really annoying. — ΛΧΣ21 19:57, 22 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
