Rockwarbler

Hi Cas; I hope you're well. We have a wonderful image of an endemic Australian bird at FPC, but, sadly, the article is only a few sentences long. I wonder if the topic is one of interest? If so, I'm sure an expanded article would draw a few readers if/when the image makes the main page. Josh Milburn (talk) 06:06, 5 June 2019 (UTC)

on it. yes, this is about to be moved from a monotypic genus too so there is some cool genetic stuff to add. I have also nominated a cool bird at GAN....Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 07:31, 5 June 2019 (UTC)

DYK for Rockwarbler

Hi. Its my first DYK review so excuse me if this doesn't seem right. I personally would like to know why it was called the hanging dick which I could find from a simple google search. Otherwise it seems eligible, I find the second hook to be more interesting. Thanks! --E.3 (talk) 23:46, 6 June 2019 (UTC)

Renaming an article

Hi Cas Liber, how are you? I know that you're an administrator, and I was wondering whether you could help me with renaming an article. As you may know, Columbia Records releases a lot of Bob Dylan's old, unreleased recordings as part of what is called the Bootleg Series, the last one being The Bootleg Series Vol. 14: More Blood, More Tracks. Very recently Columbia released a box set of 1975 live recordings, and I absentmindedly assumed it was the next in the series, and created The Bootleg Series Vol. 15: The Rolling Thunder Revue: The 1975 Live Recordings. It was pointed out to me that for whatever reason it was not released as part of the series; according to Dylan's official website [[1]], the album's title should be Bob Dylan – The Rolling Thunder Revue: The 1975 Live Recordings. Would you possibly be able to either change the title directly of the the article I created, or else delete the article, in which case I could create a new one with the proper name. Thank you.

Hi again, is it possible to make the title italicized? I know how to put italics in the text of an article, of course, but I just realized I maybe don't know how to make a newly created article name italicized. (Or maybe I do know and am just foggy-headed today.) Thanks so much. Moisejp (talk) 06:38, 9 June 2019 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Acuro Organics Limited

Hi There, i would like to know the concerned part of the proposed page for the speedy deletion, because of which you had objected its existence on Wikipedia. I am committed to do all rectifications or improvement to clarify the issue. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shubhh97 (talk • contribs) 06:39, 18 June 2019 (UTC)

@Shubhh97: okay then I have undeleted it and tagged it. It needs at least two detailed mentions in independent sources. You have one, but someone might contest that one anyway as merely a listing. In any case I recommend you find the sources fairly quickly as otherwise it might get renominated for deletion pretty soon. Good luck Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 09:24, 18 June 2019 (UTC)

Hi Cas Liber. I have a question about your decision to undelete this article. WP:CSDRFU specifies that A7s are not typically restored at requests for undeletion. This makes me a little confused—if you think my A7 tag was accurate, why did you restore the article to mainspace rather than draftspace? Would draftifying have been a more appropriate action to begin with, or was my A7 tag justified? – Lord Bolingbroke (talk) 22:46, 18 June 2019 (UTC)

@Lord Bolingbroke: Good question and thanks for asking. Your tagging was fine actually. I pondered this and in the spirit of Wikipedia:Ignore all rules I decided to leave in mainspace and tag, which gives the writer a time limit/sense of urgency to get cracking and source it. If it is still tagged and not referenced appropriately, I would recommend going through the processes to review its suitability at that point. If I had userfied it, it might languish in userspace for months or even years. This way it gets sorted one way or the other more quickly. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 23:27, 18 June 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for explaining your thought process, and sorry for not replying to you earlier. I'm still new to the realm of speedy deletion, and I second-guess whether I'm applying the criteria correctly :) Seeing as how the article creator hasn't turned up any more sources, I went ahead and started Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Acuro Organics Limited if you wish to comment. – Lord Bolingbroke (talk) 23:10, 28 June 2019 (UTC)

@Lord Bolingbroke: you've done absolutely the right thing. Eleven days is plenty of time to find material and they haven't done so. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 23:21, 28 June 2019 (UTC)

WikiCup 2019 July newsletter

The third round of the 2019 WikiCup has now come to an end. The 16 users who made it to the fourth round needed to score at least 68 points, which is substantially lower than last year's 227 points. Our top scorers in round 3 were:

• Cas Liber, our winner in 2016, with 500 points derived mainly from a featured article and two GAs on natural history topics
• Adam Cuerden, with 480 points, a tally built on 16 featured pictures, the result of meticulous restoration work
• SounderBruce, a finalist in the last two years, with 306 points from a variety of submissions, mostly related to sport or the State of Washington
• Usernameunique, with 305 points derived from a featured article and two GAs on archaeology and related topics

Contestants managed 4 (5) featured articles, 4 featured lists, 18 featured pictures, 29 good articles, 50 DYK entries, 9 ITN entries, and 39 good article reviews. As we enter the fourth round, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 3 but before the start of round 4 can be claimed in round 4. Please also remember that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them, and it is imperative to claim them in the correct round; one FA claim had to be rejected because it was incorrectly submitted (claimed in Round 3 when it qualified for Round 2), so be warned! When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met.

If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anything else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

Avoiding threaded discussion on case page

I thought it best to have a case request by the community with a chance for everyone to comment. This ritual calms the wider conflict, pulls it to this page, and eventually makes the result more legitimate. When ArbCom has acted spontaneously in the past there have often been bad results. Maybe I’m wrong, but that’s my logic. I agree with you they should get on with it in whatever form they like. Thank you for all you have done for Wikipedia. Jehochman ^Talk 14:36, 3 July 2019 (UTC)

b) Not an answer to someone who is not new here, is it? I think you enforce something I oppose, but avoid discussing that because it is an in-house deviation from sources that somehow avoids conflict. In my view, this 'rule' was imposed by people with little interest in organisms, other than to enforce a lot of distasteful notions (mostly rooted in reactionary know-nothingism). You prefer the status quo, as I guess at your motives for strongly suggesting that others adhere. I think that it muddies things to the point where information is excluded so as not to contradict the idea that common name is "better" than any other (but just one). The scope of wikipedia includes all biota, not a reduction to a paper document whose editors select words from a list of early vocabulary. cygnis insignis 15:20, 4 July 2019 (UTC)

He wasn't insulting people he was asking Admin from having a gloating session on Corbetts page, you decided to come in and decide what you thought was ok and not and removed a perfectly fine edit.

Talk:Moringa oleifera discussion on “superfood” fad status, medicinal properties and nutrient density

Hi Casliber,

There is an ongoing discussion on the biochemical properties and *tentative* medicinal value of ‘’Moringa oleifera’’, which have been extensively researched and documented; however, most such studies fall outside of the standard pharmaceutical design.

Its high and well-rounded nutritional (and purportedly medicinal) qualities , alongside its ease of growth, resistant to drought and poor soil and multipurpose uses, is discussed as the basis of its “superfood” status in the lay-press, albeit an unofficial and unscientific one. While no definitive medical claims are being made, my question is if this phenomenon can be explained within a proper, well-sourced NPOV context.

This might be a little bit out of your editing jurisdiction, but you’re the most qualified botany editor I could think of. Many thanks in advance for any input!

Auree ^★★ 15:29, 12 July 2019 (UTC)

Also, if you know of any articles on medicinal plants that have passed FA review, I would much enjoy looking over those as a learning basis for my further edits to botany articles. Auree ^★★ 15:32, 12 July 2019 (UTC)

@Hylian Auree: Okay, so is a tricky area as we have medical article referencing vs others WRT primary sources etc. Need to be taken on a case by case basis and depends on how much is research vs cmmon use vs historical use etc. Of course, absolutely critical that the article reflects waht the source says. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 23:18, 12 July 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for your input and contributions thus far. This is one of the best-studied and most highly commercialized plants out there, with a rich history of use across many different cultures and traditions. That definitely makes it hornet's nest to take on. My intention is to bolster the content and take it through GAN one day, although it falls outside my usual interest in meteorology, so any help is appreciated! Auree ^★★ 05:00, 13 July 2019 (UTC)

Collab

Hi Cas, thanks for expanding the Taxonomy section! This is a very important plant throughout the world for many reasons. My intentions with the article are to get it up to GA (and maybe take it to FAC one day). This will be the first time I'm dabbling outside my meteorology comfort zone, so any help from experts as yourself is welcome. Would you want to do a collab here (if there is time and interest)? I'm looking to mostly focus on the sections beyond "Taxonomy/phylogeny" and "Description"; further help with expanding just those two (or any tips on how/where to research additional sources) would be a great start. Auree ^★★ 13:57, 21 July 2019 (UTC)

Okay will do. Late here (midnight) and will look again tomorrow Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 13:58, 21 July 2019 (UTC)

Much appreciated :) Auree ^★★ 18:41, 21 July 2019 (UTC)

So I've perused the available literature, and it's a terrifyingly staggering amount. Since I'm new to working on plant articles, I'm looking to start with a smaller project. Most interesting to me is M. oleifera's African sister species, Moringa stenopetala, which is very similar in its cultivation and cultural uses, with edible leaves, pods and seeds—the latter also being used in water purification. Also want to get Moringa drouhardii, Moringa ovalifolia and Moringa hildebrandtii to at least GA one day. Let me know if any of these particular trees interest you; they should be less daunting to work on, but an extra eye and expert help with taxonomy/description is welcome.

Australian spelling question

An anonymous IP, 2600:1700:7E31:5710:2C89:9DBC:EE9F:2AC2, has been editing articles about Australian spiders, most of which are marked as in Australian English. Most changes are ok (although some are pointless, such as capitalizing the first letter in a piped wikilink, and some are against the MOS (like putting "#" before the issue number in a citation). However, they also change spellings in "-our" to "-or", e.g. "colour" to "color". I'm aware that this is perhaps not clear in Australian English, but as a Brit, I've relied on this for example. What's your view? Peter coxhead (talk) 08:20, 3 August 2019 (UTC)

It's not a view - Australian english utilises our not or, simple as that. That's why we have engvar au - but there as some taggers who claim it is a problem - but finding Australian items changed from our to or - is wrong. period. It is very clear in usage. JarrahTree 09:00, 3 August 2019 (UTC)

Ok, that's what I thought (although I do see "labor" in Australian English). Unfortunately it means that all of 2600:1700:7E31:5710:2C89:9DBC:EE9F:2AC2's edits need to be reviewed. Sigh... Peter coxhead (talk) 13:11, 3 August 2019 (UTC)

The spelling of Labor is a political curiosity, the new party wanted to appeal to the working class yet distance themselves from the British movement (or was it more complicated, don't remember). cygnis insignis 13:19, 3 August 2019 (UTC)

Moors murders

Hey Cas. I think running an RfC was a good idea, but my sense is that things have gone beyond an RfC and without a lot of people willing to do some heavy lifting, checking diffs and sources within a structured review setting, the bickering will continue. So I've been bold and suggested it be taken to FAR. I realize Eric was blocked, and had been blocked when the rewrite began, but he should be able to participate when his block expires. As you know, stewardship is poorly understood and it's hard - especially for editors whose activity levels have decreased. My concern is setting precedent for rewriting without going through the process, which was set up specifically for these types of situations if I'm correct? Anyway, sorry, brevity isn't my forte, but wanted to let you know what I was thinking. Best, Victoria (tk) 02:10, 14 August 2019 (UTC)

I think FAR is the next logical step Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 03:01, 14 August 2019 (UTC)

Sorry, I'm wimp and don't want to get too involved in that talk page discussion. Can you, as coordinator submit to FAR, or tell EEng to? I'm willing to try to trawl through diffs once it gets there, but my time is limited and I don't want to commit to something I can't see through. Victoria (tk) 03:39, 14 August 2019 (UTC)

This is the annoying thing about being a coordinator - I can't really nominate it but anyone on that page can. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 03:43, 14 August 2019 (UTC)

Yeah, that's what I thought. Big sigh. It's late here and I'm about to turn in. I'll nominate it if I can get to it tomorrow, but whether I can be around is always a big if these days. Regardless, I'll keep an eye on it. Victoria (tk) 03:51, 14 August 2019 (UTC)

If you nominate it and state succinctly what the issues are, there is no need to get or remain heavily involved. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 03:54, 14 August 2019 (UTC)

• Um, for the record, EC was not blocked when I started; he was blocked the next day, and I didn't know about it until someone mentioned it ten days later. Can someone enlighten me about this mysterious "FAR" and why its name is always invoked in such hushed tones? The article is clearly no longer an FA (and never was, now that all the sourcing problems are apparent) -- it will take a lot of work to get it even to GA level. So shouldn't the star just come off now talk of FA again be way down the road? EEng 09:14, 14 August 2019 (UTC)

Excuse me Cas, but I find I am not able to post on EEng's talk (page size and scripts). @EEng:, the object of FAR might be seen as retaining the star, you and several others have identified areas for improvement (I agree the sociological and media reactions might be included, for example), so outline that at the review. I am sort of across the bones of the discussion, and see suggestions that FAR is the path forward, is it more complicated than that? ~ cygnis insignis 09:42, 14 August 2019 (UTC)

OK, I am absolutely, positively going to make an effort to cut that page down. I can't have people feeling they can't post. Give me a day or two. EEng 14:59, 14 August 2019 (UTC)

@EEng: - WP:FAR is the process by which a Featured Article is reviewed. They don't automatically lose their status but are reviewed, like GAs are etc. Cas Liber (talk · contribs)

Cas, I see that SchroCat initiated the nom, [2], which is good. Can the coords take over the notifications (relevant Wikiprojects per the talk page banners, Eric, PoD, top 10 contributors, etc)? Or Schro, or EEng, since he's challenging the text? I'm not capable of editing today, so can't help. Victoria (tk) 14:43, 14 August 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for the ping Victoria. I think Eric is probably aware of it, and I’ve had emails from one or two others about it too. I didn’t want it to go down this route, and was trying to sort one section on the talk page without the section being tag-bombed and near-unreadable for anyone wanting to read it. That didn’t seem to please EEng, who’s reverted it out and carried on tag bombing the rest. I’m not sure this is the best approach to improving what was there, but it’s clear my efforts weren’t wanted, so I’m stepping away from it. Cheers - SchroCat (talk) 15:08, 14 August 2019 (UTC)

I agree that it's not ideal but it's process we've followed for more than a decade and at this point seems to be the only option. I've posted at the talk page; EEng should make the notifications since he's challenging. Thanks Cas for hosting this discussion here. Victoria (tk) 16:27, 14 August 2019 (UTC)

I'm not challenging anything, -- not formally, anyway, my comment above was just an observation. I'm just taking stock of the article's problems and preparing to address them. EEng 16:56, 14 August 2019 (UTC)

• Hi Cas, I'm out of the review (and the MM article entirely) - I've taken them off watchlist and walked away; it's just too difficult to try and help when there is so much hostility and aggression going on. Feel free to cap the first part of the review (to just above your please for neutral comments), as I'm sure it'll only fester as badly as the talk page is. Good luck being ringmaster with that, but hopefully with the number of admins there, the aggressive battlefield approach may calm down a little. Cheers - SchroCat (talk) 08:15, 15 August 2019 (UTC)

• Hi Cas. Given the way that the discussion at this page has evolved, I'm wondering if it might not be better to close your RfC as a "no consensus" (which is my reading of it at the moment) and to allow the FAR to proceed unhindered. Even if consensus should develop, it might be severely constraining to have either of of the versions become set in stone; and it's been 8 days, so it isn't too early. Best, Vanamonde (Talk) 15:17, 15 August 2019 (UTC)

Yes, it can be clearly closed as "no consensus/moved to FAR". Best closed by another admin and I'd support that Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 20:28, 15 August 2019 (UTC)

I'm still uninvolved: I'm happy to close it. I'll go ahead and do that. Vanamonde (Talk) 21:08, 15 August 2019 (UTC)

Vanamonde93, Casliber: The trouble is, no consensus for what? As far as I'm concerned, no consensus means no consensus to revert the article to two months ago i.e. no consensus to let this stand edit [3], which sent the article back to June 26 by unilaterally tossing out 200+ edits by ten editors. The edit summary for that edit cited "BRD", but if that made sense then you could arbitrarily send any article back any amount of time by claiming that everything in between "lacks consensus", no matter how long it's been there, how many editors participated, and how friendly the editing involved, just so long as there wasn't an explicity pow-wow somewhere putting an explicit imprimatur on everyone's edits. Therefore, I submit, the edit I just linked was the bold edit, its proponents bore the burden of justifying it, and no consensus means they failed to do that. And that's before you consider that their primary not-really-an-argument argument ("The June 26 version is a high-quality FA version") has now been exposed as complete nonsense.

Certainly the closing logic cannot passively be that there's no consensus so therefore the article stays in the WRONGVERSION it accidentally happened to be in when protection was applied.

Though if truth be told it was no accident. When protection was first applied, the article was in the current version all editors had been working on up to that very day. Then three editors swooped in at the protecting admin's talk page and pressured him into reverting the article -- still under the protection that admin had imposed -- to June 26; the admin's comment was "I relent" [4]. And that's why it "just so happened" to be in the June 26 version when the RfC started. Truly an extraordinary sequence of events.

Combine all this with the fact that the three major proponents of reverting to June 26 have all declared that they no longer care, have unwatched, don't give a shit, won't participate, and so on ([5][6][7]) and the conclusion as to how to close the RfC becomes inescapable. EEng 21:10, 15 August 2019 (UTC)

In this case, "no consensus" as I see it means "the discussion needs to continue until some of you persuade some of the others". In general, a version of an article that has been through multiple prose reviews (such as at FAC) can be said to have consensus for the prose; so yes, in that case it would be the version that existed before you began editing it. However, that applies only to prose; a version that has flagrant breaches of WP:V cannot be said to have consensus, and BRD cannot be used to prevent those issues from being addressed, or failing that, tagged. Vanamonde (Talk) 21:16, 15 August 2019 (UTC)

@EEng: you'd agree that its mere existence now (given it's at FAR) is muddying the waters going forward and we should try and keep focus in one place? Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 21:18, 15 August 2019 (UTC)

(Sorry, I've kind of made a mess by trying to copy this over to T:Moors murders -- hope I didn't munge up anyone's post there...) Oh, I want the RfC over, but at the moment the article's unprotected it's got to be in some version. From Vanamonde's argument above (about WP:V and so on) that has to be the version current when protection was first imposed (and before the admin was pressured into into changing it to July 26). I'm sorry you're both having to spend your time one this; I'm sorry everyone's having to spend their time on this. EEng 21:25, 15 August 2019 (UTC)

(You did conflict with my closure, but don't worry about it): Yes, it's got to be in some version; and per convention, in this case BRD, it will sit in the version you don't like. But, the RFC was "no consensus defaulting to the old version", not "consensus for the old version"; meaning discussion needs to continue, and the old version isn't endorsed. I think you can live with that version while you discuss things. Vanamonde (Talk) 21:32, 15 August 2019 (UTC)

Normal editing resumes

Well, OK, but why does the article have to "sit"? Why doesn't normal editing resume? I'm not trying to be difficult but this world of FAs seems completely topsy-turvy. EEng 21:42, 15 August 2019 (UTC)

I recommend asking one of the admins who full-protected the page. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 21:43, 15 August 2019 (UTC)

OK thanks. I must say it's a good thing Wikipedia's not a bureaucracy, because if it were just IMAGINE how complicated this would get. EEng 21:47, 15 August 2019 (UTC)

WikiCup 2019 September newsletter

The fourth round of the competition has finished in a flurry of last minute activity, with 454 points being required to qualify for the final round. It was a hotly competitive round with two contestants with over 400 points being eliminated, and all but two of the finalists having achieved an FA during the round. Casliber, our 2016 winner, was the highest point-scorer, followed by Enwebb and Lee Vilenski, who are both new to the competition. In fourth place was SounderBruce, a finalist last year. But all those points are swept away as we start afresh for the final round.

Round 4 saw the achievement of 11 featured articles. In addition, Adam Cuerden scored with 18 FPs, Lee Vilenski led the GA score with 8 GAs while Kosack performed 15 GA reviews. There were around 40 DYKs, 40 GARs and 31 GAs overall during round 4. Even though contestants performed more GARs than they achieved GAs, there was still some frustration at the length of time taken to get articles reviewed.

As we start round 5, we say goodbye to the eight competitors who didn't quite make it; thank you for the useful contributions you have made to the Cup and Wikipedia, and we hope you will join us again next year. Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 4 but before the start of round 5 can be claimed in round 5. Remember too that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them (some people have fallen foul of this rule and the points have been removed).

 Done here pbp 23:48, 14 September 2019 (UTC)

On the Polish Wikipedia (pl:Wikipedia:Wikiwyzwanie, maybe the only this type of challenge on Wikipedia because of this has no wikidata for now) there is project which revolve around Q:Q6545408. The list is more often actualised there because of users care it based on raports from [8]. I tell about it because of I belive that correcting difficult and important articles on English Wikipedia just like Human behaviour can be very hard task and not courae other editors for activity (I tell it also based on fact English Wikipedia has much larger requirment to FA than many others) but maybe Wikicup for creating new articles from Wikipedia:Articles in many other languages but not on English Wikipedia could be another step to imporove in some sense collaboration with Vital article project. On the VA project there were often situation when topic with red link has been suggested to addition. On the levels 1/2 we had contigents that article The arts is our wrongarticle which could be rediect to another article (you can found that) on the level 3 there were contigents about not existing articles which are currently redirects (see: [9]). On the level 4 we had more often situations when red link was suggested. For eample I suggested just last year suggested addition of witch. Dawid2009 (talk) 18:05, 15 September 2019 (UTC)

I think you have a bad link, Dawid; did you mean: Common interwiki links? One of the things I've oft wondered is if we needed some sort of minimum number of interwiki links for various VA levels. It's generally a red flag when I find an article with fewer than 10, especially fewer than 5 pbp 20:00, 15 September 2019 (UTC)

Yup. I think about engaging/couraging people to creating new articles on English Wikipedia with the largest number of Interwiki in similar way what Core Challenge or Wikiwyzwanie on PLwiki. However only to find way to proved more active editors on VA (increasing number of active members), not to introducing interwiki requirement Dawid2009 (talk) 21:04, 15 September 2019 (UTC)

Wow, that Wikipedia:Articles in many other languages but not on English Wikipedia page - I'd never seen that before. There is something wrong as the wikidata items are muddled I think. @JarrahTree: have you seen that page? Needs a cleanup. @Dawid2009: I find that people like making new pages, it's the consolidation of stubs that is the issue. Also many core pages were expanded over ten years ago and have had little proper cleanup. This was my thinking behind the Core Contest re-runs that I did. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 00:59, 16 September 2019 (UTC)

Heh, @Dawid2009: I'd help on Pl wiki but I speak no Polish. I have family in Podkowa Leśna..Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 01:03, 16 September 2019 (UTC)

Not sure which page you are referring to - but 99of9 is always the best person for understanding wikidata issues... JarrahTree 01:14, 16 September 2019 (UTC)

This one --> Wikipedia:Articles in many other languages but not on English Wikipedia - @99of9: it looks like wikidata items are mismatched...or something? Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 01:17, 16 September 2019 (UTC)

@JarrahTree and Casliber: You have my attention. I have visited that page, and tried some of the links. They seem to work, and the "link to Wikipedia" column seems to correctly describe the situation. So, for example, many languages have a page for witch (Q1616828) and another page for witchcraft (Q259745). For example Spanish has es:Bruja and es:Brujería, and neither are redirects. Whereas English only has Witchcraft, and the other is a redirect. So, the English Wikipedia could consider writing a new article about Witch. But maybe I've misunderstood your concern. Can you explain the issue again? --99of9 (talk) 02:19, 16 September 2019 (UTC)

I have your explanation and cas's reference to the page and that is all I need at this stage - thanks... however Cas might have something further. JarrahTree 02:29, 16 September 2019 (UTC)

Interesting. One day will have a look on a page by page basis and see if anything is a redirect that (maybe) shouldn't be....Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 05:40, 16 September 2019 (UTC)

I belive this page is not well clean up because of recently it was edited two years ago and well builed (many times by bot) list should look in a way when number of missed articles is increasing proportionally when number of wikidata is fall down (for example should be plenty articles missed what have less than 8 links but not so much/not comparable with number larger than 35). If we take look on pagewievs for this group of wikidata we can find that these lists currently are the most cared on JAwiki and PLwiki (on PLwiki due to that Wikiwyzwanie). On the list is many redirects probably due to fact these ones on ENwiki are well discussed on Wikipedia:redirects for discussion and maybe also due to fact that the raport is made in a way where English Wikipedia is centre of the Wikipedia (AFAIR bot search article what exists on English Wikipedia but not e g on PL and has many wikidata... but not in a way where bot search article which even does not exist on ENwiki for smaller Wikipedia) however I agreee that many articles on ENwiki were created years ago. Anyway I belive this list also could revolve around Core Challenge and I belive as long as articles like human behaviour are short, projects like VA can be useful. On the talk page someone asked how it work and suggested to add put this list into other Wikipedia. While this page has less than 30 pagewatchers I belive many people would be interested in that page if it would be more often edited even though it might be not so much useful for ENwiki.

Hi Cas, related to your above, can you elucidate more on how you apply for WMF grants for contest prizes? This is something I was unaware of. While it's probably too late to do for an upcoming contest, it would be good to know for the future. Enwebb (talk) 14:23, 19 September 2019 (UTC)

ARBCOM

Would you consider running for ARBCOM again, Cas? I cannot help but think that a couple of decisions that I, personally, have disagreed with would have gone differently if there had been more people on it with a longer history of content work. Conversely, some other decisions may possibly have been received less poorly if the committee's composition had been different...or maybe that's wishful thinking on my part. Regardless, I would like very much to see you on it again. Vanamonde (Talk) 22:17, 19 September 2019 (UTC)

You read my mind. I had not considered running again, but after observing developments since June this year am worried there is a not insignificant risk of things really going pear-shaped and feel that some longitudinal experience might be a Good Thing.

Hey Casliber. I saw on the FAC for Caligari that you had struck some of your outstanding questions and expressed Support for the FAC. But then I also saw that those edits by you were removed by another user (which I'm certain was accidental on their part) and that your Support message was removed from the page.
