Question from Harish RajeshAcharya (07:17, 25 December 2024)

Yo I wanted to ask u how to post a wikepidea article --Harish RajeshAcharya (talk) 07:17, 25 December 2024 (UTC)

Harish RajeshAcharya Good day. I believe you would like to create an article here on Wikipedia. For an article to be accepted, the subject must meet the notability requirements outlined in Wikipedia's General Notability Guideline. The subject needs to have significant coverage from independent, reliable sources, such as major newspapers and books, where the sources discuss the subject in depth rather than merely mentioning it for verification.Please read WP:Your first article for further details. I suggest you finish the Wikipedia Adventure program first to understand some of the basic Wikipedia guidelines, which will help you with editing and creating an article. Stay safe and best wishes! Feel free to let me know if you need any further assistance. Cassiopeia talk 07:31, 25 December 2024 (UTC)

NPP Academy

I saw that you were a trainer. Could you yrain me? Sangsangaplaz (Talk to me! I'm willing to help) 16:02, 26 December 2024 (UTC)

Sangsangaplaz Good day and thank you for being interested in NPPS. The NPPS program is complex and comprehensive and it consists of 10 assignments and 1 final exam for such it will require some of your free time to work on the assignments. There will be Wikipedia guidelines/links (reading material) provided which you need to read before working on the assignments. Most participants would take about 3 months to complete the program, however, there is no deadline as you work on the program on your own pace. Please let me know if you are still interested after reading the info above and if so, then let me know so I will set up the program for you. Stay safe and best. Cassiopeia talk 21:41, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
I'm interested. Sangsangaplaz (Talk to me! I'm willing to help) 06:15, 29 December 2024 (UTC)
@Cassiopeia
Question: What happens after I pass the final examination? Do you recommend me when requesting permission? Sangsangaplaz (Talk to me! I'm willing to help) 06:43, 29 December 2024 (UTC)
Sangsangaplaz Good day. I have set up the program for you. Please bookmark the program on your computer for ease of finding. Please read the "communication section" at the very bottom of the assignment before answering the assignment's questions. Ping me in the "communication section" if you have any questions or when you have finished the assignment for review. When you have passed the final exam you can request permission and please mention my user name for verification from the admin. Welcome to NPPS, stay safe, and Happy New Year.

Weekly Summary #660

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata in the
week leading up to 2024-12-30. Missed the previous one? See issue #659

Welcome to 2023’s Final Weekly Summary!

Discussions

  • Open request for oversight: Ameisenigel (RfP scheduled to end at 6 January 2025 21:52 UTC)

Press, articles, blog posts, videos

  • Papers
    • Library Data in Wikimedia Projects: Case Study from the Czech Republic by Jansová, L., Maixnerová, L., & Š´tastná, P. (2024). "The paper outlines the collaboration between the National Library of the Czech Republic and Wikimedia since 2006, focusing on linking authority records with Wikipedia articles and training librarians and users. By 2023, the National Library provided most of its databases under a CC0 license, launched a "Wikimedians in Residence" program, and collaborated on projects involving linked data and using authority records in Wikidata. This partnership has enhanced their cooperation for mutual benefit, identifying key factors for their successful long-term collaboration."
    • How have you modelled my gender? Reconstructing the history of gender representation in Wikidata by Melis, B., Fioravanti, M., Paolini, C., & Metilli, D. (2024). "The paper traces the evolution of gender representation in Wikidata, showing how the community has moved from a binary interpretation of gender to a more inclusive model for trans and non-binary identities. The Wikidata Gender Diversity project (WiGeDi) timeline highlights the significant changes influenced by external historical events and the community's increased understanding of gender complexity."
  • Videos: Arabic Wikidata Days 2024 - Data Science Course - First Practical Session: Wikibase-CLI Tool (part 1, part 2) by Saeed Habishan. "The Wikibase-CLI enables command-based interaction with Wikidata using shell scripts and JavaScript. The tool runs on NodeJS and enables automatic reading and editing of Wikidata."

Tool of the week

  • WikiORA - is a tool designed for gene over-representation analysis. It integrates data from Wikidata, Wikipedia, Gene Ontology, and PanglaoDB to help researchers identify significantly enriched gene sets in their data.

Weekly Tasks

Question from EngineStalled (10:09, 31 December 2024)

Hello Cassiopeia, how do I find articles that need some work on them? The Survey never helped me in any way... --EngineStalled (talk) 10:09, 31 December 2024 (UTC)

EngineStalled Good day and thank you for the question. Not sure what you meant "The Survey" but if you want to find articles that need some work on them, first you need to know some basic Wikipedia guidelines so you don't make mistakes or violate the Wikipedia guidelines on your editing such as adding not independent or reliable sources such as you have added source/citation from "fandom" sites on one of the edits you made or you bold the text without knowing the MOS:NOBOLD guideline. There are many Wikipedia guidelines but as a newcomer to Wikipedia, I "strongly" suggest you to take a short program - WP:TWA so you can familiarize yourself with some basic Wikipedia guidelines. Please take the program (30mins) on laptop/desktop and not on mobile devices. Once you have done that, pop back here and I will point you to the articles you seek. By the way, what areas of work (example, adding categories, adding short disruptions, correct manual of style in arrivals or etc) you would like to contribute? Happy Year and stay safe. Cassiopeia talk 11:02, 31 December 2024 (UTC)
thank you, I will do that. By Survey I was talking about a Survey nobody else can view. Happy Year and stay safe. EngineStalled (talk) 12:17, 31 December 2024 (UTC)

Question from SineKite (02:56, 2 January 2025)

FYI, I created this account with the intention of making one edit to the Carbon Dioxide page, which is semi-protected. I am planning to make enough small edits for my account to be auto-confirmed, so that I can make the desired change (which I mentioned on the talk page a few weeks ago, but hasn't gotten any response). Let me know if I am going about anything the wrong way! --SineKite (talk) 02:56, 2 January 2025 (UTC)

SineKite Good day and thank you for the question. I believe your edit on the Talk:Carbon dioxide page is under IP address 73.171.45.17 from Virginia and your edit was - "Here-1" and see - Here-2. Thank you for registering and checking the content info according to the source. If you dont ping particular editors on any talk page, then only the interested editor of the article will reply to your question and discuss the issue. Since the page is semi-protected, it will only allow registered user accounts that are at least 4 days old and have made at least 10 edits. Currently, you have 9 main space edits and one talk page (my talk page) edit. So you need to make at least one more edit on the main space and wait until 02:12 January 6,2025 to become an auto-comfited user to edit Carbon Dioxide. I hope you continue to edit Wikipedia from here on and please pop back here if you have further questions as I am here to help. Stay safe and Happy New Year. Cassiopeia talk 05:00, 2 January 2025 (UTC)

Question from Marcberg06 on World Airlines (19:09, 3 January 2025)

I would like to upload a photo to the site How? I am a very very basic user. Either I'm too basic or it is too complicated to simply upload an archive image. Pity. Thanks for your help anyway.--Marcberg06 (talk) 19:09, 3 January 2025 (UTC)

Marcberg06 First of all, please note that I have reverted your edits - see here for the lead section.

All articles in Wikipedia have a certain format/style which complies with Wikipedia guidelines. Please do not change them again.

To upload a photo in Wikipedia:
(1) You must be the copyright holder of the photo (the person who took the photo). You will be banned from editing if you violate copyright guidelines, as copyright violation entails legal implications, and Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously.
{2) Once you have uploaded the photo to Wikimedia Commons, you must irrevocably agree to release your contribution/copyright of the photos under the CC BY-SA 4.0 License and the GFDL (GNU Free Documentation License), which means you agree to let anyone in the world use your images for any purpose.
(3) To upload a photo, please go to Wikimedia Commons and follow the instructions.
(4) After uploading and saving the photo in Wikimedia Commons, click on "Use this file" and copy the link to paste into the Wikipedia article.
(5) Before uploading any photo, it is important that you carefully read the Wikipedia:Copyrights and Wikipedia:Uploading images Wikipedia guidelines.
Let me know if you have further questions for I am here to help. Stay safe and Happy New Year. Cassiopeia talk 23:07, 3 January 2025 (UTC)

Question from ElynOliver (22:44, 4 January 2025)

hello! I created an article in sandbox, and it had a redirect added. I haven't seen any approvals or edits in over a month. Is there something I need to do to help move it to publication? --ElynOliver (talk) 22:44, 4 January 2025 (UTC)

ElynOliver Good day, and thank you for your question. I believe the article you mentioned is Draft:Karl Krüger (adventurer). Please note that this is not your sandbox but an article in the "Draft" space on Wikipedia.

To create your own sandbox, click "here" in the sentence: "If you have an account, you can create your own sandbox in your user space. You can find your user sandbox 'here' on the Wikipedia:About the sandbox page." All reviewers in the draft space are volunteers, and they select which drafts or new pages to review. Currently, the backlog is close to 1,755 draft articles awaiting review.

I have reviewed your draft page, and you can find my comments explaining why the draft article was declined for inclusion in the Wikipedia main space on top of the draft page. Let me know if you have further question. Stay safe and Happy New Year. Cassiopeia talk 07:47, 5 January 2025 (UTC)

Tech News: 2025-03

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

Weekly highlight

  • The Single User Login system is being updated over the next few months. This is the system which allows users to fill out the login form on one Wikimedia site and get logged in on all others at the same time. It needs to be updated because of the ways that browsers are increasingly restricting cross-domain cookies. To accommodate these restrictions, login and account creation pages will move to a central domain, but it will still appear to the user as if they are on the originating wiki. The updated code will be enabled this week for users on test wikis. This change is planned to roll out to all users during February and March. See the SUL3 project page for more details and a timeline.

Updates for editors

  • On wikis with PageAssessments installed, you can now filter search results to pages in a given WikiProject by using the inproject: keyword. (These wikis: Arabic Wikipedia, English Wikipedia, English Wikivoyage, French Wikipedia, Hungarian Wikipedia, Nepali Wikipedia, Turkish Wikipedia, Chinese Wikipedia) [1]
  • One new wiki has been created: a Wikipedia in Tigre (w:tig:) [2]
  • Recurrent item View all 35 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, there was a bug with updating a user's edit-count after making a rollback edit, which is now fixed. [3]

Updates for technical contributors

  • Advanced item Wikimedia REST API users, such as bot operators and tool maintainers, may be affected by ongoing upgrades. Starting the week of January 13, we will begin rerouting some page content endpoints from RESTbase to the newer MediaWiki REST API endpoints for all wiki projects. This change was previously available on testwiki and should not affect existing functionality, but active users of the impacted endpoints may raise issues directly to the MediaWiki Interfaces Team in Phabricator if they arise.
  • Toolforge tool maintainers can now share their feedback on Toolforge UI, an initiative to provide a web platform that allows creating and managing Toolforge tools through a graphic interface, in addition to existing command-line workflows. This project aims to streamline active maintainers’ tasks, as well as make registration and deployment processes more accessible for new tool creators. The initiative is still at a very early stage, and the Cloud Services team is in the process of collecting feedback from the Toolforge community to help shape the solution to their needs. Read more and share your thoughts about Toolforge UI.
  • Advanced item For tool and library developers who use the OAuth system: The identity endpoint used for OAuth 1 and OAuth 2 returned a JSON object with an integer in its sub field, which was incorrect (the field must always be a string). This has been fixed; the fix will be deployed to Wikimedia wikis on the week of January 13. [4]
  • Many wikis currently use Cite CSS to render custom footnote markers in Parsoid output. Starting January 20 these rules will be disabled, but the developers ask you to not clean up your MediaWiki:Common.css until February 20 to avoid issues during the migration. Your wikis might experience some small changes to footnote markers in Visual Editor and when using experimental Parsoid read mode, but if there are changes these are expected to bring the rendering in line with the legacy parser output.

Kids' Choice Awards 1992 and 1994 articles

Hello, I would like to ask regarding the two articles 1992 Kids' Choice Awards and 1994 Kids' Choice Awards.

I've been off Wikipedia the past few months (but have recently returned to editing more), but only just saw a few days ago that you had removed the winners/nominees information from these two articles as being unsourced information. I would like to ask, what would be the best way to reinstate this information? I've been very active in finding the full Kids' Choice Awards shows from over the years, as prior to my main step into KCA-research world, most of them had been lost media. Fast forward to now, and I have just about every full show (see image here), though am still looking/trying to find the missing three 1987/The Big Ballot episodes, as well as the full 1991 show (though for 1991, I've been able to find all the winners/nominees information through many sources I had found).

I've been able to find some sources for winners/nominees for the 1992 and 1994 shows, but I don't know if all of the winners/nominees information (mostly nominees information) are able to be found through old articles/newspapers. However, both of those shows (along with others) have been posted onto YouTube by other users, see the 1992 show here and the 1994 show here (ignore the 1993 that user put into the title, there's been lots of research done to show that 1993 was skipped over and the next show after 1992 was infact the 1994 show).

So again I ask, what would be the best route possible to restore the winners/nominees info into the 1992 and 1994 articles? I don't know how well you'd think the two YouTube videos of the full shows would suffice as sources for all the information, but I can find as many others sources as I can as well. Thanks in advance. Magitroopa (talk) 02:41, 14 January 2025 (UTC)

Magitroopa Good day. Try find the source in Internet Archive WayBack Machine - see "HERE" and I hope it will help. Stay safe and best. Cassiopeia talk 09:10, 14 January 2025 (UTC)
I saw you remove the awards information. I hope they can find the winner information and put it back on the page
Sometimes, the official website has the awards information and it is sufficient to use as a source Marty2Hotty (talk) 12:10, 14 January 2025 (UTC)
