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.

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.

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)
