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

A tag has been placed on Conrad Fort Lauderdale, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations 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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. DGG ( talk ) 19:43, 11 October 2016 (UTC)

Interview invitation from a Wikipedia researcher in University of Minnesota

Hello TonyTheTiger,

I am Bowen Yu, a Ph.D. student from GroupLens Research at the University of Minnesota - Twin Cities. Currently, we are undertaking a study about turnover (editors leaving and joining) in WikiProjects within Wikipedia. We are trying to understand the effects of member turnovers in the WikiProject group, in terms of the group performance and member interaction, with a purpose of learning how to build successful online communities in future. More details about our project can be found on this meta-wiki page.

I would like to invite you for an interview if you are interested in our study and willing to share your experience with us. The interview will be about 30 - 45 minutes via either Skype or Google Hangout. You will receive a $10 gift card as compensation afterwards.

Please reach me at bowen@cs.umn.edu if you are interested or have any questions.

Thank you,

Bowen

WikiProject Good Articles's 2016-2017 GA Cup

WikiProject Good Articles's 2016-2017 GA Cup

Greetings, all!

We would like to announce the start of the 4th GA Cup, a competition that seeks to encourage the reviewing of Good article nominations! Thus far, there have been three GA Cups, which were successful in reaching our goals of significantly reducing the traditionally long queue at GAN, so we're doing it again. Currently, there are over 400 nominations listed. We hope that we can again make an impact this time.

The 4th GA Cup will begin on November 1, 2016. Four rounds are currently scheduled (which will bring the competition to a close on February 28, 2017), but this may change based on participant numbers. We may take a break in December for the holidays, depending on the results of a poll of our participants taken shortly after the competition begins. The sign-up and submissions process will remain the same, as will the scoring.

Sign-ups for the upcoming competition are currently open and will close on November 14, 2016. Everyone is welcome to join; new and old editors, so sign-up now!

If you have any questions, take a look at the FAQ page and/or contact one of the judges.

Cheers from 3family6, Figureskatingfan, Jaguar, MrWooHoo, and Zwerg Nase. We apologize for the delay in sending out this message until after the competition has started. Thank you to Krishna Chaitanya Velaga for aiding in getting this message out.

To subscribe or unsubscribe to future GA Cup newsletters, please add or remove your name to our mailing list. If you are a participant, you will be on the mailing list no matter what as this is the easiest way to communicate between all participants.

New deal for page patrollers

Hi TonyTheTiger,

In order to better control the quality of new pages, keep out the spam, and welcome the genuine newbies, the current system we introduced in 2011 is being updated and improved. The documentation and tutorials have also been revised and given a facelift. Most importantly a new user group New Page Reviewer has been created.

Under the new rule, you may find that you are temporarily unable to mark new pages as reviewed. However, this is nothing to worry about - most current experienced patrollers are being accorded the the new right without the need to apply, and if you have significant previous experience of patrolling new pages, we strongly encourage you to apply for the new right as soon as possible - we need all the help we can get, and we are now providing a dynamic, supportive environment for your work.

Find out more about this exiting new user right now at New Page Reviewers and be sure to read the new tutorial before applying. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 04:29, 13 November 2016 (UTC)

Jessica Gomes Birthday

Hi TonyTheTiger - Recently you made an edit to Jessica Gomes page, changing her birthday to 1985 and referenced the FashionModelDirectory. I don't believe this is a reputable reference as a number of pieces of information is incorrect, for example where Jess was born. Regardless this issue at hand is her birthdate. Jessicas own social media accounts put her at 32. For example when she turned 31 back in 2015 she posted these photos and stating she was 31. https://www.instagram.com/p/8EzzowFdNe/?taken-by=iamjessicagomes https://www.instagram.com/p/8CLap2FdGE/?taken-by=iamjessicagomes

In Sept this year she turned 32. There are a number of other magazines articles and websites that reference Jess as 32.

I am new too Wikipedia and I do not know how to reference information so perhaps you can help. Jessicas birthdate is 1984

WikiCup December newsletter: WikiCup 2017

On 1 January 2017, WikiCup 2017 (the 10th Annual WikiCup) will begin. This year we are trying something a little different – monetary prizes.

For the WC2017 the prizes will be as follows (amounts are based in US$ and will be awarded in the form of an online Amazon gift certificate):

  • First place – $200
  • Second & Third place – $50 each
  • Category prizes – $25 per category (which will be limited to FA, FL, FP, GA, and DYK for 2017). Winning a category prize does not require making it to the final round.

Note: Monetary prizes are a one-year experiment for 2017 and may or may not be continued in the future. In order to be eligible to receive any of the prizes above, the competing Wikipedia account must have a valid/active email address.

After two years as a WikiCup judge, Figureskatingfan is stepping down. We thank her for her contributions as a WikiCup judge. We are pleased to announce that our newest judge is two-time WikiCup champion Cwmhiraeth.

The judges for the 2017 WikiCup are Godot13 (talk · contribs · email), Cwmhiraeth (talk · contribs), and Sturmvogel 66 (talk · contribs · email).

Signups are open now and will remain open until 5 February 2017. You can sign up here.

writers?

Who are the most esteemed and respected article writers in Wikipedia? Perhaps you are one. Are there others? I mean those who really know how to write well, maybe even as a profession? I want to ask a writing question. Not to decide content but on writing. For example, someone who can say "That sentence, 'I eats ice cream', is not grammatically correct.Usernamen1 (talk) 05:18, 17 December 2016 (UTC)

  • Usernamen1, I am not sure what you are asking me. The people who would be the best judges of the most respected writers on WP are probably the past and present Coordinators at WP:FAC. My opinion does not count for much, but off the top of my head, if I had to guess who might be number one, I would guess User:Brianboulton. 'I eats ice cream' is grammatically incorrect. The type of error would be subject verb disagreement. You could correct the sentence by changing either the subject (to he or she) or the verb (to eat).--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 04:01, 19 December 2016 (UTC)

DYK for Mike McCray

On 22 December 2016, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Mike McCray, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Michigan linebacker Mike McCray was named Big Ten Conference Defensive Player of the Week for his first career start?

You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Mike McCray), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000.
