Why did you revert my edit on Lynja?

Lynja is indeed a Japanese American even though she ain’t Japanese she if of Japanese decent as shown on her work record plaques with nick digiovani. SupersaurYT (talk) 22:19, 13 January 2024 (UTC)

Hi SupersaurYT. I linked the guideline in my edit summary. We typically don't mention ethnicity in the lead section per MOS:ETHNICITY. gobonobo + c 23:07, 13 January 2024 (UTC)
But then why does basically every article I go onto do this? SupersaurYT (talk) 01:23, 14 January 2024 (UTC)
@SupersaurYT. They shouldn't. Usually, the formula is "so-and-so is a [nationality] [occupation]". That's why articles like Dexter Lawrence or Saquon Barkley will never say "African American football player" in the lead. gobonobo + c 14:38, 14 January 2024 (UTC)

WikiCup 2024 February newsletter

The 2024 WikiCup is off to a flying start, with 135 participants. This is the largest number of participants we have seen since 2017.

Our current leader is newcomer Generalissima (submissions), who has one FA on John Littlejohn (preacher) and 10 GAs and 12 DYKs mostly on New Zealand coinage and Inuit figures. Here are some more noteworthy scorers:

As a reminder, competitors may submit work for the first round until 23:59 (UTC) on 27 February, and the second round starts 1 March. Remember that only the top 64 scoring competitors will make it through to the second round; currently, competitors need at least 15 points to progress. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAN, 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 (Cwmhiraeth (talk · contribs), Epicgenius (talk · contribs), and Frostly (talk · contribs)) are reachable on their talk pages. 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.

Replaceable non-free use File:Franklin Clarence Mars.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Franklin Clarence Mars.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of non-free use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of non-free use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{Di-replaceable non-free use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable non-free use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
  2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification, per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

This bot DID NOT nominate any of your contributions for deletion; please refer to the history of each individual page for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 10:00, 20 February 2024 (UTC)

Pamela Courson

Hey,

I just joined and have no idea, whether this is the normal way to contact someone else.. I noticed you added the photo of Pamela Courson to the English wikipedia page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pamela_Courson#/media/File:Pamela_Courson.jpg), the German one (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pamela_Courson) only contains pictures of the Doors and Jim Morrison..which seems just wrong. I tried adding it but seem to fail, would you mind helping out or uploading it yourself?

Cheers! Klerstory (talk) 12:37, 27 February 2024 (UTC)

Hi Klerstory. Welcome to Wikipedia. Yes, this is the usual way of contacting other editors. The image of Pamela Courson being used in the English article is included locally with a non-free use rationale. Each language edition of Wikipedia has different standards regarding non-free images. I'm not sure how German Wikipedia handles non-free images, but the page there de:Wikipedia:Bildrechte might explain. If they allow non-free images, the image would need to be uploaded on the German Wikipedia with a non-free rationale before it can be used there. I hope that helps. gobonobo + c 13:14, 27 February 2024 (UTC)

WikiCup 2024 March newsletter

The first round of the 2024 WikiCup ended at 23:59 (UTC) on 27 February. Everyone with at least 30 points moved on to Round 2, the highest number of points required to advance to the second round since 2014. Due to a six-way tie for the 64th-place spot, 67 contestants have qualified for Round 2.

The following scorers in Round 1 all scored more than 300 points:

In this newsletter, the judges would like to pay a special tribute to Vami_IV (submissions), who unfortunately passed away this February. At the time of his death, he was the second-highest-scoring competitor. Outside the WikiCup, he had eight other featured articles, five A-class articles, eight other good articles, and two Four Awards. Vami also wrote an essay on completionism, a philosophy in which he deeply believed. If you can, please join us in honoring his memory by improving one of the articles on his to-do list.

Remember that any content promoted after 27 February 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 at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, feel free to review one of the nominations listed on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages. Good luck!

Hi. Thank you very much for this improvement: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Parmitieddi&diff=prev&oldid=1213691611. There is only one reference to the parmitieddi article, but the pages of this reference aren't viewable; I don't know if only I have this problem. The Jack (talk) 16:08, 15 March 2024 (UTC)

Hi JackkBrown. I'm able to see the pages, but there isn't much there, just a paragraph or so. A search on Google Books for 'parmatielli' shows the Encyclopedia of Pasta source, which is viewable for me. I haven't been able to find other references that would be worth using for the article though. gobonobo + c 16:21, 15 March 2024 (UTC)

New Pages Patrol newsletter April 2024

Hello Gobonobo,

New Page Review queue January to March 2024

Backlog update: The October drive reduced the article backlog from 11,626 to 7,609 and the redirect backlog from 16,985 to 6,431! Congratulations to Schminnte, who led with over 2,300 points.

Following that, New Page Patrol organized another backlog drive for articles in January 2024. The January drive started with 13,650 articles and reduced the backlog to 7,430 articles. Congratulations to JTtheOG, who achieved first place with 1,340 points in this drive.

Looking at the graph, it seems like backlog drives are one of the only things keeping the backlog under control. Another backlog drive is being planned for May. Feel free to participate in the May backlog drive planning discussion.

It's worth noting that both queues are gradually increasing again and are nearing 14,034 articles and 22,540 redirects. We encourage you to keep contributing, even if it's just a single patrol per day. Your support is greatly appreciated!

2023 Awards

Onel5969 won the 2023 cup with 17,761 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 50/day. There was one Platinum Award (10,000+ reviews), 2 Gold Awards (5000+ reviews), 6 Silver (2000+), 8 Bronze (1000+), 30 Iron (360+) and 70 more for the 100+ barnstar. Hey man im josh led on redirect reviews by clearing 36,175 of them. For the full details, see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone for their efforts in reviewing!

WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers deployed the rewritten NewPagesFeed in October, and then gave the NewPagesFeed a slight visual facelift in November. This concludes most major work to Special:NewPagesFeed, and most major work by the WMF Moderator Tools team, who wrapped up their major work on PageTriage in October. The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers will continue small work on PageTriage as time permits.

Recruitment: A couple of the coordinators have been inviting editors to become reviewers, via mass-messages to their talk pages. If you know someone who you'd think would make a good reviewer, then a personal invitation to them would be great. Additionally, if there are Wikiprojects that you are active on, then you can add a post there asking participants to join NPP. Please be careful not to double invite folks that have already been invited.

Reviewing tip: Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages within their most familiar subjects can use the regularly updated NPP Browser tool.

Reminders:

DYK for Pep (dog)

On 1 April 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Pep (dog), which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Pep (pictured) was falsely accused of murdering a cat and sent to Eastern State Penitentiary? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Pep (dog). You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Pep (dog)), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.
