User talk:JeremyA/Archive13

Hi, my question is fairly simple, I added a link of "How To" article on this page of wikipedia:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Press_release

But now it has been removed by you, can kindly explain my mistake. Kindly suggest is it appropriate that I add content on "How to write a press release" on wikipedia and then link to a site?

Why do you deny to be reasonable and, instead of at least warning me that you were going to delete the image I uploaded, delete the image anyway?
What's wrong with kindness?
What's wrong with at least respecting human beings a little bit?
Do you think that Wikipedia was made so that editors can, without warning, delete things that can be fixed?

;Assessment

This month we focus on article assessment as a lot of work has been going on behind the scenes on this. In January the new version of the bot used for generating the information was deployed. For the observant you will have noticed the changes made to the assessment table on the left, it now has details of all of the pages other than articles that are tagged with the project banner. Now you can see counts of the categories, templates, files and other miscellaneous tagged pages that the project is looking after. The article count earlier in the newsletter does not include all of the newly reported classes as they are not really articles.

A new facility is the ability to click on any of the numbers and get a list of the articles that are in the intersection of the article importance rating with the quality rating. For example this enables you to see all of the articles that the project has rated as high priority stub-class articles. This is something that was not readily available prior to this revision of the bot.

The quality ratings are only valid at the time they are done and may be out of date as some of the assessments were done over two years ago. Many of the articles have changed since they were rated so it would be good if members could re-rate them when they see substantial changes to a particular article or flag it up for someone more experienced to take a look at and revise the quality rating if appropriate. Many of the articles were rated before the introduction of the C-class rating so may be over rated as B-class articles or under rated as Start-class articles.

Other changes have taken place in the formatting of the log files and more is to come. The data is now stored in a database off wiki and so tools can be written to generate further reports, have customised rating levels for projects etc. The bot is also able to get through the articles quicker and so is reporting changes daily rather than about weekly as with the previous version.

Hi JeremyA,

I noticed your excellent contribution about Sheffield. I'm writing on behalf of Gumtree.com, the community classifies website. I found you whilst searching for people and communities discussing local issues relating to Sheffield.

The reason I am contacting you is that Gumtree have recently launched a 'local experts' section within their forum and we are helping them recruit individuals who can act as community champions there, dispensing advice, wisdom and tips to other visitors to the site. I think you would be great for this. We'd love to speak with you further about it - if this sounds like something that might interest you, could you let me know how to contact you with more information? You can reach me at kris_nordgren.gumtree@intelligentconversation.co.uk

I do apologize for using the talk section for this.

Kind regards,

Kris —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.104.255.152 (talk) 10:56, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

Right, so it needs a SINGLE licensing tag reflecting the most restrictive of those respective of those

respectivly.

By all means the photographer copyright should be mentioned,

but in this instance the important copyright is that of the original work NOT that of the derived image.

Having both free and non-free license tags on an image is confusing,

and to some people grants a license which the photographer should or could

not have granted. ( GFDL for example has a clause about not releasing if there are non-free elements IIRC)

Having image license tagging, as a single 'most restrictive' tag + additional information in a rationale is better,

simpler for users, and enables those patrolling to determine rapidly if an image is free

(in which case it can be moved to Commons) or is unfree ( in which case it needs a Fair Use rationale).

The other reason for 'Single' license tag, is technical, given the way Free and Non-free license tags categorise

images. If images can appear in both 'free' and 'non-free' groupings at the same time, it's much harder to catch

the images that have been incorrectly tagged as both.

Sfan00 IMG (talk) 19:29, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

A file that you uploaded or altered, :File:Calder Flamingo.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Possibly unfree files because its copyright status is unclear or disputed. If the file's copyright status cannot be verified, it may be deleted. You may find more information on the file description page. You are welcome to add comments to its entry at the discussion if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you.

;Biographies of Living People

This month we need to concentrate efforts on Biographies of Living People (BLP) as detailed at WP:BLP. There is currently ongoing discussions about what should be done with nearly 50,000 unsourced articles on living people that have accumulated and being tagged with the {{tl|BLP unsourced}} template. Options range from deleting all of them immediately to a period of grace for the articles to be sourced. There is also discussions as to what should be done, going forward, with new articles on living people that are created without sources. Do have your say on these discussions here, if you are interested in biographical articles.

As a project we have not tagged many biographical articles but looking at the articles of people under the Yorkshire category an estimate of 150 of these are tagged as unreferenced. This does not include those related to the various sports people who play for the many teams in the area. Obviously those articles relevant to the project we would want to save from the axe and so we need to concentrate our efforts on referencing articles that have been tagged as unreferenced. Once articles have been given some references then the tag can be changed to {{tl|BLP sources}} or removed, if full referencing has been done.

;Biographies of Living People

As a follow up to last month's feature on BLP articles a BOT is now creating project listings of those BLP articles that are tagged as totally unreferenced. The listing for our project can be found at Wikipedia:WikiProject Yorkshire/Unreferenced BLPs, I have added a link to this from the project side-bar for easy access to the listing. There are just five articles remaining on the list at the time of going to press, so well done.

;General Election

The next General Election will be announced sometime during the month and so we need to concentrate our efforts on the articles relating to this. There are two main sets of articles relevant here, firstly the constituency articles and secondly the articles relating to the candidates that are standing for election. Taking the first group there are a number of boundary changes relating to the constituencies in the area that will be implemented at the time of the General Election. These changes need to be reflected into the settlement articles that are affected by the change. I would suggest that the settlement's history section is updated to include details of the former constituency when adding the new one so that information is not lost. All of the constituency articles will need to be kept up to date with the list of candidates that are standing for the election. Much of the basic work on this has been done but new candidates will emerge until the closing date for candidates to declare. Note that the order of candidates should be maintained in ballot paper order prior to the result being declared so that we do not favour any of the parties in the election. So even if A. Aardvark is standing for the "Lets do away with wiki" party then they should appear first regardless of if we support them or not.

On the second set of articles, those on candidates, we are back to issues relating to BLP, NPOV and to avoiding them, or their supporters, using wiki as an electioneering medium. We should be vigilant to remove anything that ventures into this area as quickly as possible. There may be articles for candidates who are standing that are not tagged for the project so it would be good for these to be tagged so we can keep an eye on them. It is also a good time to improve the articles on the candidates as they will no doubt get more hits during the election period. Those of you in the UK may also see some of the candidates out on the campaign trail and it would be good to get a photo for their article if possible. It does not have to be a Yorkshire related politician as there are lots of articles about politicians that needed photos or updates to dated images.

;Elections

The next General Election will take place this month as will the local elections in a number of areas in the region and so again this month we need to concentrate our efforts on the articles relating to these.

Last month I concentrated on the general election related articles in the run up to the announcement of the election. This month we need to concentrate on the aftermath of the election. The constituency articles are the first ones that need to be looked at and the results added to each of these. This gives us an opportunity to have some references on these pages as there will be extensive media coverage for the results. The articles relating to the set of new MPs will need to be updated to include details of their election victory and the office they take up in the new parliamentary session. At the same time those articles relating to politicians who loose their seat will need to be updated to cover this and to show the successor to the seat/office they held. Other articles that need to be looked at are the settlement articles to see if they need updating as a number of them mention the party that represent the place and some give details of the MPs that represent them.

As well as the general election there is also the local elections that are being held on the same day and again this needs to be looked at when updating the settlement articles as the council make up is often described in the governance section or given in the infobox. These elections will necessitate new articles creating for each of the councils that are holding elections to record the details of the election and the results. Others may generate these articles and members should tag these with the project tag {{tl|WikiProject Yorkshire}} when they find them so that they can be tracked and are not forgotten about.

;Images

As a change from all the election related material this month I thought that we could look at images. With summer on its way in England then it is time to spend away from the computer and in the great outdoors. There are many events and places to visit so if you are taking time out at any of these then take along your camera and capture the scene. Then when back home you can upload the images to Commons so that they can be used on any of the projects run by the foundation. This is preferred to uploading just to Wikipedia as they are more widely available to other projects and save time of people having to make the transfer of suitable images. When uploading images to Commons then you need to categorise the image to enable it to be located easily and to group it with others of a similar theme. It is best to put it in a specific category, but if you cannot find one then pick the best fit you can and others will shift it around into more suitable categories. The process is similar to article categorisation and multiple categories can be added, as appropriate, but an image should not normally be placed in a category and one of it's sub-categories.

There are a number of articles requiring images and the Yorkshire related ones can be found here. Take a look before you go out as you may be able to fulfil one of the requests while out visiting.

If you locate an article that requires an image and no suitable image is available then add the {{tl|reqphoto}} template to the article talk page to flag the article appropriately. If you want an image of a specific thing then you can use the of= parameter to give details. For example, if an interior shot is required of the building that is the subject of the article then use {{reqphoto|of=interior}}. You can narrow the image to a location by using the in= parameter, {{reqphoto|in=Yorkshire}} will request a photo in Yorkshire. If you use North Yorkshire, South Yorkshire, West Yorkshire or the East Riding of Yorkshire in place of Yorkshire then it will categorise in the appropriate sub-category but will not show up in the request box. A way round this is to apply Yorkshire and the division to the request and they will show up but remain unlinked. So to a request an image in the East Riding of Yorkshire it may be best to use {{reqphoto|in=Yorkshire|in2=the East Riding of Yorkshire}} to show in the request box and classify it in both :Category:Wikipedia requested photographs in Yorkshire and :Category:Wikipedia requested photographs in the East Riding of Yorkshire.

For biographical articles the biography project template {{tl|WPBiography}} has a needs-photo= parameter which should be set to yes if a photograph is required.

When adding an image to an article also check the talk page and remove the flags if the image fulfils the request.

;Pending changes

The trial period for Pending Changes is under way and will last for two months. Initially this will be restricted to a pre-defined set of articles that are updated on a daily basis. The queue of articles for the trial is here. This involves a change to the article settings, similar to article protection, that allows edits by anonymous and non-autoconfirmed users to be delayed before going live. (It is possible to set it so that all edits need reviewing but this is not been used for the trial.) These edits will only go live when they have been reviewed by another user who has been granted the Reviewer user rights. Pages with revisions waiting review can be found here. A large number of the regular editors have been granted this privilege for the trial and if not it can be requested here. It is a good idea to have a look at the pages that have this applied so that you are clued up for the discussion following the trial. Those of you with one of the selected articles on their watchlist will get a notification at the top of the watchlist page when there are pending changes to an article on their watchlist.

Once the trial is over there will be a discussion on rolling the system out generally or to reject this method of handing changes. If you want more details on this then take a look at the help document.

It seems pretty foolish to remove the most interesting image in the whole article because it is not in the proper section.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 02:33, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

:My point is that you should move it somewhere else in the article.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 13:43, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

::Do you want to use this image. I could also upload one without the Wolf Point border.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 17:52, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

::This is the plain file you can make any changes you want and save over it. I usually add borders and such in MS Paint.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 19:03, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

If you are going to add stuff to Wolf Point, you may want to try to do so soon. It is at WP:DYK and will go on the main page next week probably. You may want to make any corrections before it gets its day in the sun.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 20:00, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

:I think the relevant articles that need to be coordinated are Wolf Point, Chicago, Wigwam (Chicago) and Fulton River District, Chicago. Have at it. I will be watching the first two since they are articles I created.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 23:04, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

::I have been thinking a bit more about this and am somewhat convince that 21st century usage of the term Wolf Point, Chicago means the area that I originally described, but that in the past the meaning of Wolf Point may have been more encompassing. What do you think about that?--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 01:58, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

:::Comments on the new map and captions welcome.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 05:31, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

::::Since Kinzie Street railroad bridge is your baby, I will leave it to you to decide, but the bird's eye view of the point shows the bridge pretty well.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 21:42, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

:::::I knew you would understand the finepoints of image choice for that article. I would personally suggest adding this to the gallery for now, but it is your choice. This weekend Wigwam (Chicago) and possibly a separate article for Sauganash Hotel will be next on my plate. I have to finish beefing up Lurie Garden first to try to save the WP:CHIFTD. Help on those would be great. Images would be helpful.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 23:36, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

Sheffield has been nominated for FA status again; see Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Sheffield/archive2. Dabomb87 (talk) 23:45, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

:Indeed, it was nominated rather hastily by me. It would be nice to see you there, I need a hand fixing all the criticism it's receiving. It's not very nice with people telling you how you should be editing rather than helping you do it, but whatever. Hope to see you there! -- Jack?! 04:31, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

Don't know why.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 01:13, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

I have started Sauganash Hotel. I am wondering if for the sake of Wolf Point, Chicago and Block 37 there might be a file created for the plat on page 112 of [http://books.google.com/books?id=wP0TAAAAYAAJ&lpg=PA629&ots=EUaW9dj5en&dq=%22Elijah%20Wentworth%22%20wolf%20point&pg=PA629#v=onepage&q=%22Elijah%20Wentworth%22%20wolf%20point&f=false the link you sent me].--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 23:25, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

:Good map. Not sure which point is actually the original Wolf Point.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 23:55, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

::Should a map not having north at the top have some sort of indication of which way is north?--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 03:11, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

I would add links to the WP:CAPTIONs.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 17:23, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

I have made most of your suggested changes to Cumberland (CTA). The one thing I'm hesitant to change is the placement of the second paragraph in the Facilities section; see my comment about that in the GA review. Otherwise, the main issues have been addressed. Thank you for reviewing the article. TheCatalyst31 ^{Reaction•Creation} 04:50, 24 July 2010 (UTC)

:All your changes look good to me. TheCatalyst31 ^{Reaction•Creation} 17:15, 25 July 2010 (UTC)

::That sounds like a good idea if you can get it to work with the infobox. Embankment tube station uses Template:Infobox London station, which supports a locator map, whereas Cumberland and the other 'L' station articles use Template:Infobox station, which I'm not sure does. I don't have much experience with locator maps, but if you see a way it could work in Cumberland, I'd be happy to implement it in some of the other 'L' and Metra articles.

Hi Jeremy,

Why has La Grange Patch been removed as media covering La Grange Park?

La Grange Patch is original content news reported by professional reporters covering only La Grange Park and La Grange, Illinois.

It's part of Patch.com, owned by AOL.

I appreciate your reply.

Sincerely,

LaGrangePatch —Preceding unsigned comment added by LaGrangePatch (talk • contribs) 23:18, 1 August 2010 (UTC)

Thanks, Jeremy, for this information. I'm the Editor of La Grange Patch, and I created my username to reflect the newspaper, in order to maintain full disclosure. I apologize for not thoroughly researching the terms of adding to a village's page. If I understand you correctly, as soon as there are third parties verifying La Grange Patch, we can add the local media section, but not the external link. Patch.com, owned by AOL has been written about by the San Francisco Chronicle, the Boston Globe, and many mainstream established newspapers, a Google News search will show. If you visit www.patch.com, the company the articles reference, you'll see a link to La Grange Patch. This should establish this is an authentic newspaper for La Grange and La Grange Park, which launched July 30, 2010. Please let me know if the terms have been satisfied and whether I may add the information about the newspaper to the La Grange and La Grange Park pages, excluding the link. —Preceding unsigned comment added by LaGrangePatch (talk • contribs) 04:40, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

; Aims

After discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Yorkshire in April 2008.

Specific aims for the project are:-

• To complete tagging and assessment of all Yorkshire related articles (See below)
• To recruit more active editors (See Member News)
• To bring our top level article Yorkshire up to Featured article status
• To bring all other top priority articles (currently 15 with 2 at FA) to at least Good article status
• To set up a weekly or monthly selected article improvement drive (See this month's feature below)
• To produce a regular news letter for circulation to members

and apropos of the above a 2010 New Year article improvement drive/collaboration is being organised.

;Maps

This month I thought that I would focus on the current discussions over the maps used in infoboxes for UK articles.

Firstly an initiative by user Nilfanion (talk) is currently under way on producing map data for the whole of the UK. The maps would cover all counties, wards, civil parishes etc. and be derived from the Ordnance Survey OpenData release. Further details can be seen here where feedback would be appreciated on two specific concerns—the colour scheme and line thickness. Discussion is also taking place as to what features to include on the maps, such as rivers, roads and railways.

Second discussion here on another alternative for mapping data changes to existing maps in infoboxes for districts, boroughs and cities in the UK.

Thirdly a discussion on Wales maps in place infoboxes is under way here, which has branched out into a general discussion on the initiative by user Nilfanion here.

It would be good if members take time to have a look at these various proposals and comment, where they feel they have some input to offer, as these proposals could potentially affect all of the UK articles with maps in their infoboxes. If you do not speak now then you will have to put up with the results!

;WikiProject Yorkshire Collaboration of the Month Project

The August 2010 articles selected below are the editors choice as no one came up with any other suggestions on the project talk page.

Please nominate future articles for improvement at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Yorkshire.

; Please bear in mind...

Image:Ambox style.pngThe project is subscribed to a clean-up listing which lists articles tagged with various clean-up tags that need attention. The listing is refreshed by a bot on a regular basis. The latest listing was created on March 23rd.

• Monitoring is essential
  Use the watchlist to keep an eye on changes to the project's articles so that vandalism and spamming can be removed as quickly as possible.

• Moves
  Please be careful when performing articles moves and ensure that you also move all the talk sub-pages and update any image fair use rational. Otherwise the archives, to-do lists, assessment comments and GA reviews get lost and the image may be deleted as it has an incorrect FUR.

; Comments, questions and suggestions about this, or any, issue of the newsletter are always welcome and can be made by pressing the feedback button below...
