SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. We appreciate that you have signed up to receive suggestions regularly; your contributions make Wikipedia better — thanks for helping!

FAC: Love for Sale

Hi. Hope you're well. I recalled you saying you'd have more in-depth replies to the source review. The nomination seems close to ending, so I wanted to ask if you had any more to say. isento (talk) 20:42, 25 February 2021 (UTC)

Administrators' newsletter – March 2021

  Guideline and policy news

  • A request for comment is open that proposes a process for the community to revoke administrative permissions. This follows a 2019 RfC in favor of creating one such a policy.
  • A request for comment is in progress to remove F7 (invalid fair-use claim) subcriterion a, which covers immediate deletion of non-free media with invalid fair-use tags.
  • A request for comment seeks to grant page movers the delete-redirect userright, which allows moving a page over a single-revision redirect, regardless of that redirect's target. The full proposal is at Wikipedia:Page mover/delete-redirect.
  • A request for comment asks if sysops may place the General sanctions/Coronavirus disease 2019 editnotice template on pages in scope that do not have page-specific sanctions?
  • There is a discussion in progress concerning automatic protection of each day's featured article with Pending Changes protection.

  Technical news

  • When blocking an IPv6 address with Twinkle, there is now a checkbox with the option to just block the /64 range. When doing so, you can still leave a block template on the initial, single IP address' talkpage.
  • When protecting a page with Twinkle, you can now add a note if doing so was in response to a request at WP:RfPP, and even link to the specific revision.
  • There have been a number of reported issues with Pending Changes. Most problems setting protection appear to have been resolved (phab:T273317) but other issues with autoaccepting edits persist (phab:T275322).

WikiCup 2021 March newsletter

Round 1 of the competition has finished; it was a high-scoring round with 21 contestants scoring more than 100 points. Everyone with a positive score moves on to Round 2, with 55 contestants qualifying. You will need to finish among the top thirty-two contestants in Round 2 if you are to qualify for Round 3. Our top scorers in Round 1 were:

  •   Epicgenius led the field with a featured article, nine good articles and an assortment of other submissions, specialising on buildings and locations in New York, for a total of 945 points.
  •   Bloom6132 was close behind with 896 points, largely gained from 71 "In the news" items, mostly recent deaths.
  •   ImaginesTigers, who has been editing Wikipedia for less than a year, was in third place with 711 points, much helped by bringing League of Legends to featured article status, exemplifying how bonus points can boost a contestant's score.
  •   Amakuru came next with 708 points, Kigali being another featured article that scored maximum bonus points.
  •   Ktin, new to the WikiCup, was in fifth place with 523 points, garnered from 15 DYKs and 34 "In the news" items.
  •   The Rambling Man scored 511 points, many from featured article candidate reviews and from football related DYKs.
  •   Gog the Mild, last year's runner-up, came next with 498 points, from a featured article and numerous featured article candidate reviews.
  •   Hog Farm, at 452, scored for a featured article, four good articles and a number of reviews.
  •   Le Panini, another newcomer to the WikiCup, scored 438 for a featured article and three good articles.
  •   Lee Vilenski, last year's champion, scored 332 points, from a featured article and various other sport-related topics.

These contestants, like all the others, now have to start again from scratch. In Round 1, contestants achieved eight featured articles, three featured lists and one featured picture, as well as around two hundred DYKs and twenty-seven ITNs. They completed 97 good article reviews, nearly double the 52 good articles they claimed. Contestants also claimed for 135 featured article and featured list candidate reviews. There is no longer a requirement to mention your WikiCup participation when undertaking these reviews.

Remember that any content promoted after the end of Round 1 but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is a good article candidate, a featured process, or something else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews.

If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to keep down the review backlogs! 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 yourself from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send. Sturmvogel 66 (talk) and Cwmhiraeth (talk).

Newspaper profiles-- high quality RS?

Hi Ealdgyth, hope all is well. I recently did a lot of work on Mildred Mottahedeh and I'm fairly confident I've incorporated the vast majority of coverage of her. I'm not ready for FAC (lots more polishing needed!) but given that it is built almost entirely on newspaper and journal profiles, was wondering whether they meet the FAC 1c definition of high quality RS before starting. There's not very much coverage of her in books, unfortunately. You seem to be the expert, so coming here for advice. Best wishes, Eddie891 Talk Work 01:45, 11 March 2021 (UTC)

On second thought, it was unfair of me to come here demanding that you and only you answer my query. I've posted at WT:FAC for wider input. Please feel free to comment if you like, but I don't want you to feel obligated. Cheers, Eddie891 Talk Work 23:32, 11 March 2021 (UTC)
Normally it wouldn't be a big imposition, but I'm recovering from just general ickyness and trying to catch up in day job.. thus the silence. Sorry! Ealdgyth (talk) 23:53, 11 March 2021 (UTC)

ARCA request regarding APLRS

Hey Ealdgyth,

GirthSummit opened an ARCA request regarding APLRS following the discussion at Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard#The Volunteer (book). You've shown an interest in this, so I'm letting you know.

John, King of England

I would like to know why you removed the content I spent much of MY time adding without even making an edit summary of what you did. Or aren't you aware of the marriages the children of King John of England made? 168.31lnm (talk) 08:19, 28 March 2021 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) Ealdgyth made a perfectly clear edit summary, that the material you added was unsourced -- nothing should be added to a WP article, particularly a featured article, without citing it to reliable sources. Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 08:37, 28 March 2021 (UTC)

  Guideline and policy news

  • Following a request for comment, F7 (invalid fair-use claim) subcriterion a has been deprecated; it covered immediate deletion of non-free media with invalid fair-use tags.
  • Following a request for comment, page movers were granted the delete-redirect userright, which allows moving a page over a single-revision redirect, regardless of that redirect's target.

  Technical news

  • When you move a page that many editors have on their watchlist the history can be split and it might also not be possible to move it again for a while. This is because of a job queue problem. (T278350)
  • Code to support some very old web browsers is being removed. This could cause issues in those browsers. (T277803)

Hi. About this revert - diff
Your revert breaks the Vital article template. It prevent categorization of this article. You could've just manually removed Skip to talk and Talk header if you don't like it, leaving my vital article fix, instead of blind reverting.--Renat 13:01, 19 April 2021 (UTC)
