Correct spelling of Impresit

Hi @Massly - rather than undoing your recent edit on the Bakolori Dam article I thought I had better ask you which spelling checker you are using. The correct spelling for the company Impresit only has one "s", but there must be a spell checker that assumes that because the word "impress" has two then so must "Impresit". My Gussie (talk) 03:21, 2 September 2015 (UTC)

Hello My Gussie, I've always read it (cursorily) in the sense of a verb rather than a noun, and I didn't even realize I did the same mistake many times. Its now been reverted to Impresit. —M@sssly^✉ 07:02, 2 September 2015 (UTC)

Thanks Masssly, I almost broke the three revert rule myself without realizing it. My Gussie (talk) 04:59, 3 September 2015 (UTC)

WikiCup 2015 September newsletter

The finals for the 2015 Wikicup has now begun! Congrats to the 8 contestants who have survived to the finals, and well done and thanks to everyone who took part in rounds 3 and 4.

In round 3, we had a three-way tie for qualification among the wildcard contestants, so we had 34 competitors. The leader was by far Casliber (submissions) in Group B, who earned 1496 points. Although 913 of these points were bonus points, he submitted 15 articles in the DYK category. Second place overall was Coemgenus (submissions) at 864 points, who although submitted just 2 FAs for 400 points, earned double that amount for those articles in bonus points. Everyone who moved forward to Round 4 earned at least 100 points.

The scores required to move onto the semifinals were impressive; the lowest scorer to move onto the finals was 407, making this year's Wikicup as competitive as it's always been. Our finalists, ordered by round 4 score, are:

1. Cas Liber (submissions), who is competing in his sixth consecutive Wikicup final, again finished the round in first place, with an impressive 1666 points in Pool B. Casliber writes about the natural sciences, including ornithology, botany and astronomy. A large bulk of his points this round were bonus points.
2. Godot13 (submissions) (FP bonus points), second place both in Pool B and overall, earned the bulk of his points with FPs, mostly depicting currency.
3. Cwmhiraeth (submissions), first in Pool A, came in third. His specialty is natural science articles; in Round 4, he mostly submitted articles about insects and botany. Five out of the six of the GAs he submitted were level-4 vital articles.
4. Harrias (submissions), second in Pool A, took fourth overall. He tends to focus on articles about cricket and military history, specifically the 1640s First English Civil War.
5. West Virginian (submissions), from Pool A, was our highest-scoring wildcard. West Virginia tends to focus on articles about the history of (what for it!) the U.S. state of West Virginia.
6. Rodw (submissions), from Pool A, likes to work on articles about British geography and places. Most of his points this round were earned from two impressive accomplishments: a GT about Scheduled monuments in Somerset and a FT about English Heritage properties in Somerset.
7. Rationalobserver (submissions), from Pool B, came in seventh overall. RO earned the majority of her points from GARs and PRs, many of which were earned in the final hours of the round.
8. Calvin999 (submissions), also from Pool B, who was competing with RO for the final two spots in the final hours, takes the race for most GARs and PRs—48.

The intense competition between RO and Calvin999 will continue into the finals. They're both eligible for the Newcomers Trophy, given for the first time in the Wikicup; whoever makes the most points will win it.

Good luck to the finalists; the judges are sure that the competition will be fierce!

Five minutes to help make WikiProjects better

Hello!

First, on behalf of WikiProject X, thank you for trying out the WikiProject X pilot projects. I would like to get some anonymous feedback from you on your experience using the new WikiProject layout and tools. This way, we will know what we did right, and if we did something horribly wrong, we can try to fix it. This feedback won't be associated with your username, so please be completely honest. We are determined to improve the experience of Wikipedians, and your feedback helps us with that. (You are also welcome to leave non-anonymous feedback at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject X.)

Please complete the survey here. The survey has two parts: the first part asks for your username, while the second part contains the survey questions. These two parts are stored separately, so your username will not be associated with your feedback. There are only nine questions and it should not take very long to complete. Once you complete the survey I will leave a handwritten note on your talk page as a token of my appreciation.

Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you, Harej (talk) 17:49, 2 September 2015 (UTC)

Hello! Just sending a reminder to complete the survey linked above. (This is the only reminder I'll send, I promise.) Let me know on my talk page if you have any questions. Thank you!!! Harej (talk) 22:16, 15 September 2015 (UTC)

WikiProject Good Articles's 2015 GA Cup - Round 3

WikiProject Good Articles's 2015 GA Cup - Round 3 Greetings, all! We hope that everyone had a nice summer. Saturday saw the end of Round 2. Things went relatively smoothly this month. The top 2 from 4 pools, plus the top participant (the wildcard, or "9th place") of all remaining competitors, moved onto Round 3. We had one withdrawal early in Round 2, so he was replaced by the next-highest scorer from Round 1. Round 2's highest scorer was Pool D's Tomandjerry211, who earned an impressive 366 points; he also reviewed the most articles (19). Close behind was Zwerg Nase, also in Pool D, at 297 points and 16 articles. The wildcard slot went to Good888. Congrats to all! Round 3 will have 9 competitors in 3 pools. The key to moving forward was reviewing articles with the longest nomination dates, as it has been in every round up to now. For example, 2 competitors only needed to review 2 articles each to win in their pools, and each article were either from the pink nomination box (20 points) or had languished in the queue for over 5 months (18 points). The GA Cup continues to be a success in many ways, even with fewer competitors this time. For some reason, the competitors in the 2015 GA Cup have reviewed fewer articles in Round 2, which has made the judges scratch their head in confusion. We've speculated many reasons for that: the summer months and vacations, our competitors are saving their strength for the final rounds, or they all live in the Pacific Northwest and the heavy wildfire smoke has affected their thinking. Whatever the reason, Round 2 competitors reviewed almost 100 articles, which is a significant impact in the task of reviewing articles for GA status. We've considered that the lower participation this competition is due to timing, so we intend to discuss the best time frame for future GA Cups. For Round 3, participants have been placed randomly in 3 pools of 3 contestants each; the top editor in each pool will progress, as well as the top 2 of all remaining users. Round 3 will start on September 1 at 0:00:01 UTC and end on September 28 at 23:59:59 UTC. Information about Round 3 and the pools can be found here. Good luck to the remaining contestants, and have fun! Cheers from Figureskatingfan, 3family6 and Jaguar, and MrWooHoo. To subscribe or unsubscribe to future GA Cup newsletter, please add or remove your name to our mailing list. If you are a participant still competing, you will be on the mailing list no matter what as this is the easiest way to communicate between all participants.

Potential admin

Hi, I notice you're on Wikipedia:List of administrator hopefuls. Wikipedia would benefit from more admins. If you have been editing for more than 12 months (preferably 24+ months), and have been editing fairly consistently for the past 6 months (preferably 12+ months) with at least 100 edits a month (this tool will help) - or an explanation for any gaps, and haven't been blocked or topic banned in the past three years - or a good explanation for a recent block or ban, don't have a recent history of edit warring or arguing with other editors, feel you can explain why you wish to be an admin, can demonstrate some understanding of Wikipedia's procedures and processes, or know where to go for guidance, and are confident enough to go through a RfA, please get in touch with me. We can talk about it some more, and if all looks OK, I'll nominate you. SilkTork ^{✔Tea time} 12:17, 31 August 2015 (UTC)

I 'm glad you considered nominating me and I certainly would love to move forward with this conversation. Thank you for getting in touch,—M@sssly^✉ 12:31, 31 August 2015 (UTC)

Sorry for delay in getting back to you - I got a stronger response to my Potential admin enquiries than I anticipated, and also - as is the way - I became busy in other areas. Ah! I was just setting up a chat page, when I notice that you have already done so. Credit for taking the initiative, though it tends to be frowned upon to create subpages in other user's userspace. Anyway, let's chat at the page you created: User:SilkTork/Chicha/Potential admin chat/Masssly. SilkTork ^{✔Tea time} 10:34, 10 September 2015 (UTC)

Peter Goodhand no longer an orphan page

Dear Massly,

Can you please remove the orphan tag from the page on Peter Goodhand? It is now linked from two pages: David Haussler and Ontario Institute for Cancer Research.

It was additionally tagged as having insufficient references, but I'm not sure by whom. If it was you, could you also please remove that tag, as this 15-line article now has 16 references (and one more on the way).

Thanks for your help and please let me know if you have any additional concerns.

Orphan tag removed. The article isn't assessed yet although there are many references. Lets hold on a little bit on that. Bet Regards—M@sssly^✉ 02:52, 16 September 2015 (UTC)

Misquotation and Misrepresentation of Public Figure

Dear Masssly,

in response to your message dated 26 August 2015, where you noticed that I had "removed a chunk of properly sourced material from Charles Agyinasare", I say that I have thoroughly checked all those websites and articles that were cited about his islamophobic comments, and I could not find EVEN ONE of such comments there. He was quoted as saying that there was a "religious cleansing campaign aimed at exterminating all Christians from the face of the earth" and that "the world's 1.2 billion Muslim population were targeting Christians to harm them for being Christians". None of the sites had this quote. Please verify the references given, and let me know if there was no proper grounds for deleting a "chunk" of the wiki article. This is clearly libelous and as such should be deleted.--Theodore061090 (talk) 18:55, 17 September 2015 (UTC)

Hello Theodore061090, "religious cleansing campaign aimed at exterminating all Christians from the face of the earth" is found at <http://theheraldghana.com/agyin-asare/> and "the world's 1.2 billion Muslim population were targeting Christians to harm them for being Christians" is found at <http://www.dailyguideghana.com/islamic-fundamentalists-cant-stop-us-from-being-christians-agyin-asare/> and <http://m.starrfmonline.com/1.2630119>. Thank you.—M@sssly^✉ 21:03, 17 September 2015 (UTC)

RE: Misquotation and Misrepresentation of Public Figure

It looks like the subject’s quotes have been extracted and joined to other quotes to make him say something that, upon careful look at his full statements, he has not said. From http://theheraldghana.com/agyin-asare/ the exact quote is:

In his (Agyin ASare’s) estimation, there are more than 200 million Islamic fundamentalists in the world on a religious cleansing campaign aimed at exterminating all Christians from the face of the earth. According to his calculations, if between 10 and 17 per cent of Muslims are thought to be fundamentalists, then it means more than 200 million of the world’s 1.2 billion Muslim population is targeting Christians to harm them for being Christians.

From http://www.dailyguideghana.com/islamic-fundamentalists-cant-stop-us-from-being-christians-agyin-asare/ and http://m.starrfmonline.com/1.2630119 the full quote is:

In his estimation, there are more than 200 million Islamic fundamentalists in the world on a religious cleansing campaign aimed at exterminating all Christians from the face of the earth.

These are obviously different from what was quoted on the Wikipedia page:

His address to the congregation suggested that there was "a religious cleansing campaign aimed at exterminating all Christians from the face of the earth" and that "the world's 1.2 billion Muslim population were targeting Christians to harm them for being Christians". --Theodore061090 (talk) 20:38, 18 September 2015 (UTC)

Hello Theodore061090, I appreciate you taking the time to discus this in a mature way. However I do not see it the same way you put it, when you stated that "the subject’s quotes have been extracted and joined to other quotes to make him say something". That is not the case, you will notice ellipsis in between the sentences, demonstrating that the sentences were cut off because it would be too long to quote them in full. Secondly, the outcry that followed his statement as can be seen in the news outlets do not sound like they said something people had to jubilate about. An IP address changed the section name from Islamophobic Comments to Comment on Islamic Fundamentalism. I have no intention of dragging matters so I would make a compromise and accept it. However the paragraph should stay for it makes perfect sense. You are free to invite a third opinion. Thank you. —M@sssly^✉ 20:12, 22 September 2015 (UTC)

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!

Tech News: 2015-39

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Recent changes

• There is now an experimental Wikimedia maps service. You can give feedback here. [21][22]
• Last week a few issues with UploadWizard were fixed. Before this was done, UploadWizard would stop you from uploading your files if something went wrong. [23][24][25][26]
• More Wikipedias can now use information from any Wikidata item in any Wikipedia article. Previously they could only use the Wikidata item that matched the subject of the article. [27]
• The VisualEditor welcome dialogue has been changed. The intention is to make it more helpful for new users. [28]

Problems

• Wikimedia Labs' HTTPS certificate expired for most of Tuesday 15 September. To reach Wikimedia Labs and Tool Labs securely you had to ignore your browser's security error message. There was no risk to data security during this time. [29]
• Last week the notification system was split into two parts. This was temporarily undone because of a bug and performance concerns. It will return to two parts this week. [30][31]
• UploadWizard couldn't upload files larger than 5 MB when using chunked uploads. This has now been fixed. [32]

Changes this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from September 22. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis from September 23. It will be on all Wikipedias from September 24 (calendar).
• The page move tool has been switched over to the new standard look for forms. [33]
• You can now choose whether to extend a link or not when editing one in VisualEditor. This means it is easier to choose how much of what you type before and after the link is part of it. [34]
• Wikibooks can now use data from Wikidata. [35]

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the VisualEditor team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs are the most important. The meeting will be on 22 September at 19:00 (UTC). See how to join.
• You can join a meeting with the Wikidata team. It will be on September 23 at 17:00 (UTC). See how to join.
• You can register to the Wikimedia Developer Summit 2016 in San Francisco 4–6 January 2016. Gadget, template, bot, and tool developers are welcome as well. Call for participation and travel sponsorship requests are open until 2 October.
