Speedy deletion request on Doubles curling is erroneous

Hi, you recently tagged the article Doubles curling for speedy deletion due to copyright infringement. In looking further at the website you cited [11], they reference the Mixed curling article that Doubles curling was just split from directly above the two paragraphs that match with this article. Therefore there is no copyright infringement because they got the text from Wikipedia, not the other way around. This speedy deletion is erroneous and should be removed. Thank you. - A202985 (talk) 21:08, 12 April 2019 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

The Anti-Vandalism Barnstar
Hi CAPTAIN_RAJU, Appreciate your work for anti-vandalism in Wikipedia. I have noticed that name of Ryan International Group of Institutions have been vandalized again in the infobox after you made changes and identified using STiki. How do you think this can be stopped?

Deletion Sorting

Please see this discussion about deletion sorting: [14]. Your comments might be useful. Thanks. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 15:18, 16 April 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for the comments on copyright infringement. Will make corrections soon.History2049 (talk) 12:37, 18 April 2019 (UTC)

Deletion sorting

WP:AFD/USA reads 'This is a high level category for deletion sorting. Whenever possible, it is recommended for deletion discussions to be added to more specific categories, such as a state and/or relevant subject area.' If a AFD is already in some state deletion sorting, it does not go here too....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 09:28, 20 April 2019 (UTC)

My vandalism on the page "Kotlin (Programming language)"

Hi! I recently contributed to the "Kotlin (Programming language)" page. The page has many code example, as have the corresponding pages about other programming languages. Sometimes the code example ends with the execution of the code example. In that case the output of the command is always shown immediately after, which is logical. Here are two simple examples cut directly from the Kotlin page:

>>> 2+2

4

>>> println("Hello, World!")

Hello, World!

However, the Kotlin page has one example where the output of the command is not included:

>>> println("Kotlin".lastChar())

To help my fellow humans in their search for knowledge I added the correct output, naturally after having verified its correctness in the Kotlin environment:

>>> println("Kotlin".lastChar())

n

To avoid misunderstandings I carefully described the change in the comment field. To my great surprise my contribution was however soon hereafter identified as "vandalism" by you, who also reverted the change without any discussion.

I have difficulties understanding how my contribution can be vandalism, so I would appriciate if you could elaborate this.

Speedy deletion contested: Yleem Poblete

Hello CAPTAIN RAJU, and thanks for patrolling new pages! I am just letting you know that I contested the speedy deletion of Yleem Poblete, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: United States government websites are in the public domain, so this is not a copyvio. Whether she is notable is another matter,. You may wish to review the Criteria for Speedy Deletion before tagging further pages. Thank you. Eastmain (talkcontribs) 05:41, 29 April 2019 (UTC)

Completely clouded?
Cloud computing logo

Talk of cloud computing draws a veil over hardware, but also, less obviously but more importantly, obscures such intellectual distinction as matters most in its use. Wikidata begins to allow tasks to be undertaken that were out of easy reach. The facility should not be taken as the real point.

Coming in from another angle, the "executive decision" is more glamorous; but the "administrative decision" should be admired for its command of facts. Think of the attitudes ad fontes, so prevalent here on Wikipedia as "can you give me a source for that?", and being prepared to deal with complicated analyses into specified subcases. Impatience expressed as a disdain for such pedantry is quite understandable, but neither dirty data nor false dichotomies are at all good to have around.

Issue 13 and Issue 21, respectively on WP:MEDRS and systematic reviews, talk about biomedical literature and computing tasks that would be of higher quality if they could be made more "administrative". For example, it is desirable that the decisions involved be consistent, explicable, and reproducible by non-experts from specified inputs.

What gets clouded out is not impossibly hard to understand. You do need to put together the insights of functional programming, which is a doctrinaire and purist but clearcut approach, with the practicality of office software. Loopless computation can be conceived of as a seamless forward march of spreadsheet columns, each determined by the content of previous ones. Very well: to do a backward audit, when now we are talking about Wikidata, we rely on integrity of data and its scrupulous sourcing: and clearcut case analyses. The MEDRS example forces attention on purge attempts such as Beall's list.

WikiCup 2019 May newsletter

The second round of the 2019 WikiCup has now finished. Contestants needed to scored 32 points to advance into round 3. Our top four scorers in round 2 all scored over 400 points and were:

  • Scotland Cas Liber (1210), our winner in 2016, with two featured articles and three DYKs. He also made good use of the bonus points available, more than doubling his score by choosing appropriate articles to work on.
  • Wales Kosack (750), last year's runner up, with an FA, a GA, two FLs, and five DYKs.
  • Adam Cuerden (480), a WikiCup veteran, with 16 featured pictures, mostly restorations.
  • Kingdom of Prussia Zwerg Nase (461), a seasoned competitor, with a FA, a GA and an ITN item.

Other notable performances were put in by Chicago Barkeep49 with six GAs, United States Ceranthor, England Lee Vilenski, and Saskatchewan Canada Hky, each with seven GARs, and Denmark MPJ-DK with a seven item GT.

So far contestants have achieved nine featured articles between them and a splendid 80 good articles. Commendably, 227 GARs have been completed during the course of the 2019 WikiCup, so the backlog of articles awaiting GA review has been reduced as a result of contestants' activities. The judges are pleased with the thorough GARs that are being performed, and have hardly had to reject any. As we enter the third round, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 2 but before the start of round 3 can be claimed in round 3. Remember too that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them.

If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove your name from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

AfD of World War Joy Tour

Just a note to say that I would probably remove the Philippines delsort tag that you added to the above AfD - the only link with the Philippines is that the tour happens to start in Manila, but the group themselves are American. Richard3120 (talk) 17:10, 4 May 2019 (UTC)

Administrators' newsletter – May 2019

News and updates for administrators from the past month (April 2019).

Guideline and policy news

Technical news

  • XTools Admin Stats, a tool to list admins by administrative actions, has been revamped to support more types of log entries such as AbuseFilter changes. Two additional tools have been integrated into it as well: Steward Stats and Patroller Stats.

Arbitration

  • In response to the continuing compromise of administrator accounts, the Arbitration Committee passed a motion amending the procedures for return of permissions (diff). In such cases, the committee will review all available information to determine whether the administrator followed "appropriate personal security practices" before restoring permissions; administrators found failing to have adequately done so will not be resysopped automatically. All current administrators have been notified of this change.
  • Following a formal ratification process, the arbitration policy has been amended (diff). Specifically, the two-thirds majority required to remove or suspend an arbitrator now excludes (1) the arbitrator facing suspension or removal, and (2) any inactive arbitrator who does not respond within 30 days to attempts to solicit their feedback on the resolution through all known methods of communication.
