WikiCup 2015 launch newsletter

Round one of the 2015 WikiCup has begun! So far we've had around 80 signups, which close on February 5. If you have not already signed up and want to do so, then you can add your name here. There have been changes to to several of the points scores for various categories, and the addition of Peer Reviews for the first time. These will work in the same manner as Good Article Reviews, and all of the changes are summarised here.

Remember that only the top 64 scoring competitors will make it through to the second round, and one of the new changes this year is that all scores must be claimed within two weeks of an article's promotion or appearance, so don't forget to add them to your submissions pages! 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 are reachable on their talk pages. Good luck!

Jake Gyllenhaal filmography

re: https://wiki.riteme.site/w/index.php?title=Jake_Gyllenhaal_filmography&oldid=prev&diff=641267075

We went over this a year or so ago. These are just filmography tables that were split from the main articles, these are not BLPs. By adding all this content, you are basically creating a second BLP for the same person. Check with the wikiproject for blps... - ^theWOLFchild 18:38, 6 January 2015 (UTC)

What software do you use to make images 300x300? Marano ^fan 10:36, 18 January 2015 (UTC)

@MaranoFan: I use Free Picture Resizer. :) As the name says it's free (lol), simple and efficient. Cheers! — Tomíca^(T2ME) 10:38, 18 January 2015 (UTC)

Hey!

Hey, Tomica! Since you are a reputed editor in pop music articles. Would you like to weigh in here? :) MaRAno ^FAN 17:11, 20 January 2015 (UTC)

Although I have to confess you, I can't stand Meghan even slightly, I am gonna try checking out the article. :) Since you asked me to take look at it. Cheers! — Tomíca^(T2ME) 17:21, 20 January 2015 (UTC)

Thank You!!! No pressure :) MaRAno ^FAN 17:24, 20 January 2015 (UTC)

Also, since you are creating mind-blowing video articles, do you think Lips Are Movin warrants a video article yet? There's been a lot of discussion here, where Winkelvi also accuses your FA Diamonds (Rihanna song) of WP:UNDUE weightage. MaRAno ^FAN 11:09, 21 January 2015 (UTC)

That user doesn't know what WP:FA is apparently, but nevermind. I personally don't think that there is enough info for "Diamonds" video so that's the reason I didn't try a music video article. And as for "Lips Are Movin", why don't you try find more info and if ofc there is available try making the article. As with this length the sections can stand in its own song article. — Tomíca^(T2ME) 12:33, 21 January 2015 (UTC)

DYK

Томица, бидејќи имаш искуство со процедурава, може да ја прегледаш DYK номинацијата за Кежаровски? Темава е свежа, па мислам би можела да оди на насловна.--Retrohead (talk) 15:47, 21 January 2015 (UTC)

Music videos

You did an impressive work on Sugar (music video) :) Can't wait when you will finish "Suit & Tie's" music video article, since i'm planning to translate it into my language. :) Btw it would be so great you write an article for "Moves like Jagger's" music video. ^ Cheers, i'm from Europe too. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.130.153.83 (talk) 10:24, 19 January 2015 (UTC)

Wow. Thank you for the nice words. I am gonna try finding some sources to see if there is enough material for "Moves like Jagger", thanks for the idea anyways ;). Where are you from? — Tomíca^(T2ME) 11:32, 19 January 2015 (UTC)

oh, go for it bro :') I'm from Budapest, Hungary :D But know a few Macedonian words and songs since i'm watching Eurovision, hah :D --46.130.146.90 (talk) 11:50, 19 January 2015 (UTC)

Cover art conflict

Why are you constantly removing my images? Is there a problem because you're switching to basically EVERY article and removing my images. Are they bothering you or something because they looked perfectly fine to me! OZODOR (Talk to me!) 03:22, 25 January 2015 (UTC)

I don't care whether you or whoever uploaded them, but i am replacing them with PNG which is basically a far better quality tha JPG. I didn't know you have uploaded them previously... — Tomíca^(T2ME) 10:49, 25 January 2015 (UTC)

Hey

Rihanna has led a pretty impressive chart run in just 10 years, huh?  — ₳aron 19:43, 26 January 2015 (UTC)

Are you there?! Lol  — ₳aron 11:14, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

Please clarify

Your edit comment here leaves too much to the imagination. Obviously I did not think it "useless" to provide a link to the better-known song of the same name which Timberlake chose to, erm, "recycle", as distinct from a cover recording. Such hat notes are the established way to do this on wp if a full disambiguation page is not needed. LeadSongDog come howl! 02:01, 26 January 2015 (UTC)

Reverting without discussing again? What's the problem here? You normally edit in good faith, I don't see why this would be an exception. These templates exist for a reason, don't they? When clicking a piped link like [[Cry Me a River (Justin Timberlake song)|Cry Me a River]], (such as recently was used on the front page), the reader is surprised at finding a page describing the "wrong" song. We use these templates to solve this problem. Please do not remove them without giving a substantive reason. LeadSongDog come howl! 01:15, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

@LeadSongDog: Usually when there is a disambiguation in the title [like is the case here] we don't need hatnotes. The title itself states (Justin Timberlake song) not cover. That's the reason I reverted your edit. And also, I am not sure whether the blues song is more known from JT's one. I am from Macedonia, and generally in whole Europe everybody knows that "Cry Me a River" is a JT song, and not some blues song [no offense]. — Tomíca^(T2ME) 07:52, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

The very first example at wp:Disambiguation is exactly that: Mercury (element) uses a hatnote. But we've clearly got a lot of non-application of the guideline, even including Mercury (planet), which made FA. Even though wp:Not finished, that's a pretty glaring failure of guidance. I'll take it up at wt:Disambiguation or wp:Hatnote and see if we can get it straightened out. I'm beginning to suspect that we're both wrong, and that the right answer is a hatnote that links to Cry Me a River (disambiguation) instead.

With regards the relative prominence among the thirty-odd scores by that title listed at ASCAP and at the Harry Fox Agency, there's really no comparison for notability. Searching WorldCat for "Cry Me a River" in printed music sorted by "most relevant" gives this list. Timberlake first shows up at number 24, while Hamilton comes in at number 1. In between are many alternate arrangements and reprints of Hamilton's work, including no less than Hal Leonard's The Great American Songbook. If you wish, try this experiment: Go to a restaurant or bar with live music, (at least one that doesn't have an overwhelming bias to recent "idol" stars) and ask a trained musician to play "Cry Me a River". It'll be Hamilton's piece you get, in some version or other. It's a part of the canon for 20th century music, even found in the major Fake books. LeadSongDog come howl! 17:35, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

pngs

here and here, Only reverts my png addition. Could you explain to them, what you explained to me? MaRAno ^FAN 13:53, 31 January 2015 (UTC)

I reverted him in good faith. Also explained the difference between png and jpg. I hope he accepts it. — Tomíca^(T2ME) 13:55, 31 January 2015 (UTC)

I definitely disagree with your revert. What you have done is replaced the image with a higher quality image when the previous low quality image accomplished the same aims of the new image. This would violate the non-free image policies. Per the image license page, these are me a plate used for identification of the album in question. The lower quality image still accomplishes that aim. What little quality is lost with thfe low resolution image does not justify the higher quality image. only (talk) 14:22, 31 January 2015 (UTC)

The thing is the png picture is the same quality as the jpg version of its picture. The main idea behind the png picture is, when you put it in the infobox it does not loose the pixels as does the jpg version of it. Both pictures have 300x300 resolution which is the one should be used on Wikipedia. — Tomíca^(T2ME) 14:26, 31 January 2015 (UTC)

the title revert replaces a 280x280 with a 300x300. only (talk) 14:32, 31 January 2015 (UTC)

300x300 can be fairly used for covers or albums. — Tomíca^(T2ME) 14:35, 31 January 2015 (UTC)

yes but the lower resolution image accomplished the same exact aims as stated in the NFCC template. Again, the loss of image quality is minimal and is more than okay for the purpose of the image as it is used in the article (merely for identification of the album...the album artwork is never critically discussed in the text). If this was a new article and the png was used, I wouldn't object. If a critical discussion of the cover was inserted into the article, I also wouldn't object. But it's the replacement of an already functioning image simply to make it look a little niceer that I object to. only (talk) 14:39, 31 January 2015 (UTC)

About images

Hi Tomica, about this [1], when you upload a png image to replace an existing jpg, please make sure the new png is as sharp as the old jpg. Based on your recent uploads [2] vs [3], and [4] vs [5], your image reduction software "Free Picture Resizer" [6] is not doing a good job. I understand that png is a lossless file storage format and jpg is not, but there is no benefit in replacing a sharp image with a dull one – no matter what file system is used to store the image. Most image reduction software produce a small image by averaging adjacent (neighboring) pixels, therefore the resulting small image is almost always dull and un-sharp. Please either use a better image reduction software, or like many of us after you reduce the image in size then please sharpen it in (or with) another software step. Thank you.

User:Joseph Prasad

No doubt it's my fault that he has once again taken semi-retirement because he didn't get his own way on Rihanna last night. He's only 15 and it really shows. He should start editing Wikipedia when he has matured.  — ₳aron 08:59, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

@Calvin999:, I only semi-retired this time, didn't last time. I have too much stress on real life, too much on my mind to even debate in a clear fashion, and it will influence me. Which is why I'm getting off for the most part until my own personal issues are resolved. -- Joseph Prasad (talk) 09:10, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

Which is a good idea. Wikipedia is not a place you should be if you have personal issues in your life.  — ₳aron 10:14, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

If you didn't notice, I left a bunch of crap on my page for a reason. And why should I go back to Wikipedia "once I've matured?" It won't change anything. And really, where should I be if I have personal issues? Answer me that. -- Joseph Prasad (talk) 10:18, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

If you're having personal issues, Wikipedia is not the place for you. You've already demonstrated actions which are not thought through properly and have engaged in edit warring. You've posted a semi-retirement tag for a reason. You've also listed a mental health issues tag. You should be focusing on you, not Wikipedia. Your edits are not rational and it causes instability. And trust me, waiting until you have a more mature head will serve you better on Wikipedia.  — ₳aron 10:30, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
