pageswap script for convenience
Hi Niceguyedc, I've noticed that at some point, you performed round-robin page moves. Thought I'd share a script here (js) that semi-automates page swaps for convenience, if you ever encounter the scenario. You'd simply click "Swap" and enter a page destination, the script performs the 3 moves as necessary (saves time having to manually go through the move form 3 times). (It doesn't correct redirects afterwards, that's still manual)
Anyway feel free to adapt this script as you see fit, cheers :) — Andy W. (talk · ctb) 02:34, 25 August 2016 (UTC)

Move review for New York
An editor has asked for a Move review of New York. Because you closed the move discussion for this page, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the move review. Paine u/c 02:36, 29 October 2016 (UTC)
- I've noticed that you haven't been here since 4 August 2016. Just a note to let you know that I've missed you. Your prolific gnome-editing was very very helpful to the encyclopedia. I hope your experience serving on this panel didn't sour you to the whole project. It was brave of you to volunteer for that. (like it was brave of me to run for ArbCom when I wasn't even an admin yet) Hoping to see you back soon. Best, wbm1058 (talk) 13:14, 16 November 2016 (UTC)

Hello, exist a problem in several articles and verbets of Wikipedia and Wiktionary in Portuguese, English and Spanish!
Was be saying that comic strip, charge and cartoon are synonymous, when, in really, are different things!
Comic strip (tira cômica in Portuguese and tira cómica in Spanish): short duration comics, with the frames (which usually range from one to five, three being the most common) disposed and organized in the form of a strip, such as own name already implies and being or not humorous. The comic strip criticizes the values of society. There are three types of comic strips: daily strips (tiras diárias in Portuguese and tiras diarias in Spanish), usually printed in small quantities because of the pace of publication, in black and white (though some in color) and three some containing one to five), Sunday boards (pranchas dominicais in Portuguese and planchas dominicales in Spanish), usually printed in large quantities, in color (although some in black and white) and with a larger number of tables occupying a entire page and the yonkomas (yonkomas same in Portuguese and Spanish), of Japanese origin, with four vertical frames (although some in the horizontal) and who always deal with serious matters, but in a humorous form. Etymology: from the American English, comic strip, comic ribbon.
Charge (charge even in Portuguese and Spanish): short duration comics, usually occupying a single frame, containing a satire or message instead of a story and being humorous (although some with more than one frame, with stories and not being humorous). The cartoon criticizes people and things of the contemporaneity. Etymology: from the Franco-Belgian French, charger, burden or exaggeration.
Cartoon (cartón in Spanish and cartum in Portuguese): short duration comics, usually occupying a single frame, containing a satire or message instead of a story and being humorous (though some with more than one frame, with stories and not being humorous). The cartoon criticizes the situations of the day to day. Due to the similarities between the first animated short films and the cartoons printed and published at the time, the animated drawing name in English also refers to cartoon, in full, animated cartoon. The same thing happens in Italian and German, where the cartoon is called, respectively, cartone animato and animierte Cartoon. Etymology: from the British English, cartoon and these of the Italian, cartone, cartone, large piece of paper, sketch, study, draft or anteproject.
Here they here the articles and verbets for be revised in the respective idioms: https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tira_de_banda_desenhada, https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/charge, https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartoon, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comic_strip, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Editorial_cartoon, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartoon, https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tira_de_prensa, https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exageraci%C3%B3n_burlesca, https://pt.wiktionary.org/wiki/tira_cômica, https://pt.wiktionary.org/wiki/charge, https://pt.wiktionary.org/wiki/cartum, https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/comic_strip, https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/charge, https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/cartoon, https://es.wiktionary.org/wiki/tira_cómica, https://es.wiktionary.org/wiki/charge and https://es.wiktionary.org/wiki/cartón!
Including and principally, the certain is that the Wikipedia articles (described soon above!) should receive the following names in each idiom: Tira de banda desenhada, Charge and Cartum (desenho humorístico) - in Portuguese, Comic strip, Charge (humoristic drawing) and Cartoon - in English and Tira de historieta, Charge (dibujo humorístico) and Cartón (dibujo humorístico) - in Spanish!
Remembering and highlighting that the caricature has nothing to do with the other three because isn't a form of comic: is, simply, a humoristic exaggerated drawing of something or someone, be real or not, does not even have texts!
In fact, all my editions in this sense are already being reversed, I do not know why, since I understand a lot of comics, so I am a comic drawer, writer and scripter, so that I am no amateur and layman in the Whole subject, see it!
And well, as you can see, the cartoon isn't a type of comic strip, neither the charge is a type of cartoon, if possible, please, warn to your fellow editors to make the changes, very thanks since now for all attention and interest and a hug!

Speedy deletion nomination of Richard Gough (footballer)
A tag has been placed on Richard Gough (footballer) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G6 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an orphaned disambiguation page which either
- disambiguates two or fewer extant Wikipedia pages and whose title ends in "(disambiguation)" (i.e., there is a primary topic); or
- disambiguates no (zero) extant Wikipedia pages, regardless of its title.
Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time. Please see the disambiguation page guidelines for more information.
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 removed 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.

Art+Feminism, Saturday, May 6, at Jacob Lawrence Gallery, UW Seattle
Art+Feminism Wikipedia Edit-a-Thon Despite its wide reach, content on Wikipedia suffers from the bias of its editors: white, technically inclined, English-speaking men that live in developed, majority-Christian countries. This represents an alarming absence of voices in an increasingly important repository of shared knowledge. In an effort to change this, the Jake is organizing a Wikipedia Edit-a-thon on Saturday, May 6th, 1 - 5 pm. Our mission is to bring together diverse communities to participate in Wikipedia editing, and improve its coverage of queer people and women of color in the arts. We will provide childcare, snacks, and tutorials for the beginner editor. Bring your laptop, power-cord and ideas for entries that need updating or creation. No previous Wikipedia experience required! RSVP at and stay tuned to our Facebook page for updates.

Art+Feminism, Jacob Lawrence Gallery, Saturday, May 12th, 1-5pm
| ||
the meetup page for Art+Feminism. |
Wikipedia is one of the most wide-reaching repositories of shared knowledge, yet a 2011 survey found that less than 10% of its contributors identify as female, suggesting an alarming absence of voices. What and how information is shared is skewed by this gender disparity. To help change this, the Jacob Lawrence Gallery is organizing a quarterly series of Edit-a-thons to improve Wikipedia's coverage of womxn artists of color.
This Saturday afternoon's gathering will focus on creating, editing, updating, and expanding pages for womxn artists from Latin America and the Caribbean. The Edit-a-thon will feature a talk by Dan Paz, Lecturer in the UW School of Art + Art History + Design, an artist, and an educator who explores the labor of digital imaging production as a collaborative site where the intersections of the image-idea and lived experience are produced and contested. Through videos, photography, and sculptural projects that query the ability of documentary processes to be manipulated—to be multiplied and replicated, stopped and started, rewound and advanced—Dan works within the impossibilities of absolute replication to question the very ability of the image to truly represent. Everyone is welcome. Access to UW WiFi will be provided for non-UW affiliated participants. All you need to bring is your laptop, power cord, and ideas. No previous Wikipedia experience required! Childcare, snacks from local businesses, and editing tutorials will be provided. Please check the Facebook event page for updates. When: Saturday, May 12th, 1-5pm |

WPCleaner 2.0
Hello Niceguyedc.
I would like to inform you that a new version of WPCleaner is available replacing the old version (v1.43) dating back to almost a year. Unfortunately, going from version 1.43 to 2.0 automatically isn't possible and will require a new installation. It's necessary to install version 2.0 to take advantage of updates and bug fixes. Version 1.43 will have to be uninstalled manually, as there are no more updates for it.
The installation procedure is described at Wikipedia:WPCleaner/Installation.
Note: for usage in Bot mode, I strongly advise to check the modifications to be sure that the tasks run correctly

Page mover granted
Hello, Niceguyedc. Your account has been granted the "extendedmover" user right, either following a request for it or demonstrating familiarity with working with article names and moving pages. You are now able to rename pages without leaving behind a redirect, and move subpages when moving the parent page(s).
Please take a moment to review Wikipedia:Page mover for more information on this user right, especially the criteria for moving pages without leaving redirect. Please remember to follow post-move cleanup procedures and make link corrections where necessary, including broken double-redirects when suppressredirect is used. This can be done using Special:WhatLinksHere. It is also very important that no one else be allowed to access your account, so you should consider taking a few moments to secure your password. As with all user rights, be aware that if abused, or used in controversial ways without consensus, your page mover status can be revoked.
Useful links:
- Wikipedia:Requested moves
- Category:Articles to be moved, for article renaming requests awaiting action.
If you do not want the page mover right anymore, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Thank you, and happy editing! Biblio (talk) 02:31, 23 November 2018 (UTC)
- This may be something you've discovered already; but I'm another recent new WP:PAGEMOVER, and it took me four goes to work out the best way to do it. It's poorly documented. WP:ROUNDROBIN is downright unhelpful. WP:ROBIN is better, but doesn't completely describe the trick of it. Use the drop-down box in the LH column on the Move page to select Draft or Main, don't try to do everything in the RH column box. So, (1) Main | A -> Draft | Move/A (2) Main | B -> Main | A (3) Draft | Move/A -> Main | B. Yrs, Narky Blert (talk) 21:58, 29 November 2018 (UTC)
name change and hatnote
Hello It's about the Colin Hughes (political science) name change. Yesterday I made a disambiguation page because I understood from (further) reading that, if there is no primary topic, that's what I should do, not hatnotes. The disambiguation page was reviewed by an experienced editor and is apparently okay, but it refers to Colin Hughes (political scientist) and I wonder whether your change got rid of it? Thanks --Margaid (talk) 14:44, 29 November 2018 (UTC)
- @Margaid: Per WP:TWODABS#Primary topic with only one other topic, there is no need for a disambiguation page. There are only two entries for the name 'Colin Hughes', and the political scientist is the primary topic. Colin Hughes (political scientist) still exists. It is a redirect to Colin Hughes. -Niceguyedc Go Huskies! 00:00, 30 November 2018 (UTC)

Spellings
Thanks for the corrections. However, the misspelling of 'Huston' as 'Houston' came directly from the Peter Ustinov quotation. Perhaps I should have used square brackets - [Huston]. Anyway, thanks again. It's always pleasant to meet a helpful editor. O Murr (talk) 18:59, 8 December 2018 (UTC)

Your change to Danger Danger (album)
Hi there I noticed your changess to this page. Clearing up ambiguous links is an important task, but "it is more important to disambiguate correctly than to disambiguate quickly""; I think it would be useful to consider this particular link a little more closey. I think there are two mauin issues here:
- The link is from a music genre section in an infobox, but your edit targets the link at Album-oriented rock. The page states explicitly (and my experience agrees) that this is a radio format and not a music genre. As such it would appear not to be a suitable target for a link. Perhaps you could clarify why you think it might be?
- The "DAB" page you unlinked (Adult-oriented rock) is marked as a candidate for a WP:BROAD broad concept article (presumably encompassing Yacht rock and Arena rock, neither of which fit this album). Doesn't it make sense to leave appropriate "ambiguous" links pointing there in anticipation of the needed article?
Many thanks for your attention, MegaSloth (talk) 08:41, 10 December 2018 (UTC)
- @MegaSloth: Having looked at it a little more, it appears that the best current article that we have on the topic is Adult contemporary music, which can be considered both a music genre (the article goes through the whole discussion of whether it is a genre or not) and a radio format. If you feel that this also isn't appropriate, and that you'd like to leave it as a link to the disambiguation page at Adult-oriented rock, please link it through Adult-oriented rock (disambiguation). This will let other disambiguators know that the link is intentional (for when Adult-oriented rock is no longer a disambiguation page) and won't be changed by those other editors. -Niceguyedc Go Huskies! 08:59, 10 December 2018 (UTC)
- Thanks for the fast response! "Best current" possibly, certainly better than album-oriented rock which is just plain wrong. Really we are missing an article here. I'll have a think about what seems best, do you want to be involved in further discussions? I don't want to burden you with further stuff you have little interest in.

- It's wouldn't be a burden, but I don't have any particular interest in the topic. -Niceguyedc Go Huskies! 09:27, 10 December 2018 (UTC)
- I've decided (at least for now) to link to soft rock via the "link with possibilities" I just created adult-oriented rock (genre), I think it's a tad closer than adult contemporary, and at least mentions adult-oriented rock in passing. I'll also add it to the DAB I think. Hope that seems sensible to you. Thanks for your input. MegaSloth (talk) 10:11, 10 December 2018 (UTC)

Wikipedia Day 2019 — curating images from Asahel Curtis and older Seattle photos
  |
Tuesday evening, January 15, 2019, 6-9pm at Wayward Coffeehouse, 6417 Roosevelt Way NE #104, Seattle WA 98115 Wikipedia Day celebrates the anniversary of the founding of Wikipedia. This year in Seattle, Cascadia Wikimedians' celebration of Wikipedia Day will focus on a different closely related project: Wikimedia Commons, which (among other things) functions as the media repository for Wikipedia. When you see a photo or map in Wikipedia, or hear an audio clip, etc., it usually is hosted on Wikimedia Commons and "transcluded" into Wikipedia. Wikimedia Commons is a mix of users' own works and curated third-party content, either public domain or free-licensed. Our event is a hands-on workshop in curating third-party content, mostly early 20th-century photos of Seattle and other West Coast locations. Currently, Wikimedia Commons has two intersecting sets of older photos, one from the Asahel Curtis Photo Company and the other a more general set of Seattle images. At this meetup, we will celebrate the 18th anniversary of Wikipedia by further curating these images by the creation and addition of categories, adding ImageNotes where useful, linking other versions of the same photo, enhancing the descriptions, and identifying and correcting errors. User:Jmabel has already categorized over 1000 images and corrected several hundred wrong dates, misidentified buildings, and etc., but there is much more to be done. For more information, please see Wikipedia:Meetup/Seattle#Wikipedia Day 2019 — curating images from Asahel Curtis and older Seattle photos. |

Art+Feminism, Jacob Lawrence Gallery, Saturday, April 6th, 1-5 PM

the meetup page for Art+Feminism. |
Wikipedia’s gender trouble is well-documented. In a 2011 survey, the Wikimedia Foundation found that less than 10% of its contributors were women. While the reasons for the gender gap are up for debate, the practical effect of this disparity is not: content is skewed by the lack of representation from women.
Let’s change that. To help change this, the Jacob Lawrence Gallery is continuing a series of Edit-a-thons to improve Wikipedia's coverage of womxn and gender non-binary artists of color. Childcare, snacks from local businesses, and editing tutorials will be provided. All you need to bring is your laptop, power cord, and ideas. No previous Wikipedia experience required! Everyone is welcome. Access to UW wifi will be provided for non-UW affiliated participants. Please create a Wikipedia account before the event. RSVP through this Facebook event link. When: Saturday, Apr. 6, 2019, 1–5 PM |
