WikiProject New Jersey Newsletter (January 2010)

New Statistics Table There has been an upgrade to the WP 1.0 bot that updates our project's summary table. The new table lists all page classes including Portal-class, Redirect-class, and Disambig-class. We now have a better picture of the scope of the WikiProject and the pages that we cover. New York Times to charge for access The New York Times is an invaluable resource for properly referencing articles, but especially due to its extensive archives and coverage of New Jersey issues. The announcement that metered content will be started in 2011 has the potential to make article sourcing much more difficult. It also causes a need to update linked sources in articles before all of the NYT links go dead. Any link can be archived on demand by using WebCite. We can help avoid dead links by archiving any article sources from the NYT. |
The following articles may be in need of attention:

BLP Issue Boils Over There are discussions all over the 'pedia about deleting close to 50,000 unreferenced Biographies of Living People. We won't get into a rehash here, but let's just look at what we can do. There is a new item on the project task list for sourcing BLPs. All articles that are in both Category:People from New Jersey and Category:All unreferenced BLPs are now available on this work list. These articles need to be sourced, PRODded, or sent to AfD. An ounce of prevention Unreferenced BLPs are one of the catgories regularly listed in the WPNJ Cleanup listing. New articles are also a prime location to find articles that do not yet have references. You can keep an eye on the New Articles list to help prevent the workload from getting any larger. Can we do more? There are bots that will automatically add the WPNJ Project Banner to all articles in our designated categories if we have consensus to request it. Join the discussion here. |

In NJ, politics means article updates | Help Wanted | ||
New Leaders in NJ Government Over the past 2 weeks, new legislators have been sworn in, the legislature has new leadership, the 55th Governor of New Jersey has been inaugurated, and we have our first Lt. Governor. All new members of the Legislature have at least stub articles, and many of the templates have been updated. Updating templates Many New Jersey articles utilize stadardized templates to convey information. With elections happening as often as they do in this state, January is always a good time to review these templates and update them with new information. Does your town or county have new elected officials? It's maintainance time on many of our articles on municipalities and counties as well. |

Editor's Notes | |||
Editor's news Must have been some winter holiday season in New Jersey, because the project talk page has been unusually quiet. I thought with all that snow, many of us would be inside and doing things here at WP. I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season and are enjoying a healthy and happy 2010!! - Jim Miller See me | Touch me | |||

Please
editPlease I need your help. I am new to Wikipedia, so I do not know how these things really work, but recently I tried to edit a page and then it was automatically undid by you. The problem is that many people have tried to change that page, however, a particular user Avala constantly brings back the wrong infromation, no matter how many times other users have tried to tell him that. The page in question is "Visa requirements for serbian citizen". Can you please tell me what I can do about this issue?
Thank you, Bojan

You are now a Reviewer
editHello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).
Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.
When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.
If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 00:38, 16 June 2010 (UTC)
Pyungkang Cheil Presbyterian Church link keeps getting deleted
editHi, I would like your help on the Seoul and South Korea pages. User:Jyusin keeps deleting the link to Pyungkang Cheil Presbyterian Church on these 2 pages. Please take a look at the history pages of these articles.
I find the links helpful as it informs readers about a well-known Presbyterian church in Seoul and South Korea.
Can you help to protect this link from deletion by User:Jyusin?
Thanks and God bless!

editNow, why would you revert my edit, when you could have taken out the "offensive" part and left the changes that were accurate and relevant? Oh, that would have required too much responsibility and "effort" I suppose. 72.189.108.185 (talk) 15:03, 11 August 2010 (UTC)
- Taking the other side, why wouldn't you just change the content instead of inserting a comment about it and why be surprised when your edit is removed given you already have a strong opinion about this site? DMacks (talk) 15:13, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

For reverting the 'vandalism' on my user talk before the helpers in the IRC channel that had advanced notice I was going to do it. -- Crazysane (T/C\D) 15:53, 2 September 2010 (UTC) |
- That revert you did to User:76.160.115.234 was actually a warning system/talk page test for IP users, to see what they see per a discussion we were having in IRC. You actually beat the other people in IRC to the revert - and they had advanced notice. Keep up the great work! -- Crazysane (T/C\D) 15:53, 2 September 2010 (UTC)

An Invite to join the Highways WikiProject
edit- - - - - - - - - - - - WikiProject Highways - - - - - - - - - - - - | ||
---|---|---|
Hi, FlyingLeopard2014/Archives/2010, you are graciously extended an invitation to join the International Highways WikiProject and its new regional taskforces! The Highways WikiProject is an evolving and expanding WikiProject. We are a group of editors who are dedicated to creating, revising, and expanding articles, lists, categories, and Wikiprojects, or anything related to International Roads. This includes supporting existing regional road WikiProjects and fostering the development of new international highway WikiProjects. We have recently created five regional task forces focused on Europe, Asia, Africa, Oceania and Latin America.
To improve road and highway articles, here are guidelines for B class criteria. Please add any higher GA, FA quality articles to the international roads portal. Also, please help out by inviting new or unfamiliar editors with the Wikipedia:WikiProject Highways/New articles/Invite template. | ||
We look forward to welcoming you to the project! |
Semi-Protection...
editDo you want me to extend it? I semi-protected your user page for one hour while investigating whether a range block is feasible. It seems now that a range block is not possible and in any case is unnecessary. Please let me know what your thoughts are. --Nlu (talk) 16:53, 22 December 2010 (UTC)
