Otis Redding

hello,

I found your name on WP:PRV; the article Otis Redding needs a copyedit. I think it is near FA-status, so it is possible to bring this at the end of November to FAC.--♫GoP♫TCN 13:29, 21 November 2011 (UTC)

Question/Help for Article

Hi! I was wondering if you could help us with a small issue on our article. Right now the article is titled Bryan v Macpherson and we would like to put a period after "v" to make it Bryan v. Macpherson. I have tried using the command {{DISPLAYTITLE: desired title}} but it is not working. Any suggestions? Thank you!Cgiugale (talk) 22:35, 8 December 2011 (UTC)

Personal wedding website

Hi Bejinhan,

Thanks for your help at Personal wedding website. The article has been improved by a couple of students and nominated for WP:GA status. They have been working hard and deserve a lot of credit for the substantial improvements they've made so far, but the article still needs improvements, like a lead that is longer than four sentences and a more encyclopedic approach to the {{example farm}}. I would be happy to see any comments or suggestions you care to make at Talk:Personal wedding website/GA1. (Not watching this page.) WhatamIdoing (talk) 03:00, 9 December 2011 (UTC)

Just a quick note to say thanks for your help with this. If everyone was as helpful and friendly to new editors as you've been, Wikipedia would be a more pleasant place. The semester is over and the article doesn't meet the GA criteria, so I've closed the nomination as not listed, but I think we all agree that the students have dramatically improved it. Thank you for your significant contribution to that improvement. WhatamIdoing (talk) 17:34, 27 December 2011 (UTC)

Hey, Bejinhan -

This article is now in the Prep area of the DYK? Queue. The article is part of the Wikipedia:Ambassadors/Courses/Intro to Law and Technology (Brad Rosen) as seen here. I am not familiar with the requirements of a WP article about a law case but couldn't the preponderance of relying on primary sources possibly be problematic? I have added two new refs, but wanted the article to be the best it could be. Cheers, Shearonink (talk) 17:44, 25 December 2011 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for notifying me. I was away for the past few days and wasn't able to take a look at the article. It looks like it passed the DYK nomination and has been featured on Main Page. I'll see what I can do about the sources. Thanks for the help. Bejinhan talks 13:59, 29 December 2011 (UTC)

Bejinhan, thanks for your review. Since this is my first contribution to Wikipedia, I need clarification on what is missing and how to correct it. I really would like to post it ASAP, since the Professor is 90 years old, his health is somewhat fragile and I would like him to see the article before it is too late. Thanks for your consideratiob. Georgeb46 Georgeb46 (talk) 02:50, 30 December 2011 (UTC)

I declined your submission because it is blank and doesn't tell about the subject. I need to know who László Szekeres is and what he has done that makes him notable enough for a Wikipedia article. Please fill that in the article along with reliable sources in inline citation format that will provide proof everything written in the article is correct. Since the subject is a living person, the article must meet the guidelines for biographies of living persons. Bejinhan talks 03:41, 30 December 2011 (UTC)

CODENI Article

Thank you for your review of the CODENI, Bejinhan. As you can see, I have made a number of attempts at publishing this article with no avail. I am wondering if you might expand a bit on where specifically this article reads more like an advertisement? And where the view might not be considered neutral? Your review is a carbon copy of the others the article received, and this is helping me very little in the re-write process.

WikiCup 2012 January newsletter

WikiCup 2012 is off to a flying start. At the time of writing, we have 112 contestants; comparable to last year, but slightly fewer than 2010. Signups will remain open for another week, after which time they will be closed for this year. Our currrent far-away leader is Conradh na Gaeilge Grapple X (submissions), due mostly to his work on a slew of good articles about The X-Files; there remain many such articles waiting to be reviewed at good article candidates. Second place is currently held by Minnesota Ruby2010 (submissions), whose points come mostly from good articles about television episodes, although good article reviews, did you knows and an article about a baroness round out the score. In third place is Mauritius Jivesh boodhun (submissions), who has scored 200 points for his work on a single featured article, as well as points for work on others, mostly in the area of pop music. In all, nine users have 100 or more points. However, at the other end of the scale, there are still dozens of participants who are yet to score. Please remember to update your submission pages promptly!

The 64 highest scoring participants will advance to round 2 in a month's time. There, they will be split into eight random groups of eight. The score needed to reach the next round is not at all clear; last year, 8 points guaranteed a place. The year before, 20.

A few participants and their work warrant a mention for achieving "firsts" in this competition.

  • Florida 12george1 (submissions) was the first to score, with his good article review of Illinois v. McArthur.
  • Florida 12george1 (submissions) was also the first to score points for an article, thanks to his work on Hurricane Debby (1982)- now a good article. Tropical storms have featured heavily in the Cup, and good articles currently have a relatively fast turnaround time for reviews.
  • Russia Sp33dyphil (submissions) was the first to score points for a did you know, with Russian submarine K-114 Tula. Military history is another subject which has seen a lot of Cup activity.
  • Russia Sp33dyphil (submissions) is also the first person to successfully claim bonus points. Terminator 2: Judgment Day is now a good article, and was eligible for bonus points because the subject was covered on more than 20 other Wikipedias at the start of the competition. It is fantastic to see bonus points being claimed so early!
  • Byzantine Empire Speciate (submissions) was the first to score points for an In the News entry, with Paedophryne amauensis. The lead image from the article was also used on the main page for a time, and it's certainly eye-catching!
  • Mauritius Jivesh boodhun (submissions) was the first to score points for a featured article, and is, at the moment, the only competitor to claim for one. The article, "Halo" (Beyoncé Knowles song), was also worth double points because of its wide coverage. While this is an article that Jivesh and others have worked on for some time, it is undeniable that he has put considerable work into it this year, pushing it over the edge.

We are yet to see any featured lists, featured topics or good topics, but this is unsurprising; firstly, the nomination processes with each of these can take some time, and, secondly, it can take a considerable amount of time to work content to this level. In a similar vein, we have seen only one featured article. The requirement that content must have been worked on this year to be eligible means that we did not expect to see these at the start of the competition. No points have been claimed for featured portals or pictures, but these are not content types which are often claimed; the former has never made a big impact on the WikiCup, while the latter has not done so since 2009's competition.

A quick rules clarification before the regular notices: If you are concerned that another user is claiming points inappropriately, please contact a judge to take a look at the article. Competitors policing one another can create a bad atmosphere, and may lead to inconsistencies and mistakes. Rest assured that we, the judges, are making an effort to check submissions, but it is possible that we will miss something. On a loosely related note: If you are concerned that your nomination, be it at good article candidates, a featured process or anywhere else, will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages, or by email. Good luck!

Online Ambassador, Spring 2012

Hi, Bejinhan! As you may know, the Wikipedia Education Program has instilled a new set of standards that courses must meet to officially join the program for the semester. As you can see, one of the requirements is that at least one ambassador or professor is a Wikipedian, as this should give students more access to helpful information about contributing to Wikipedia and creating good content. You are listed on the Online Ambassador page; are you still interested in remaining active this semester? Some of these classes will have to remove themselves from the program should they fail to meet these standards, but we would like to ensure that new students are receiving proper support during the editing process. Please let me know if you are still interested in mentoring these students this semester and/or visit the Online Ambassador talk page to select a course that still needs an Online Ambassador.
