It'd be marvellous if you actually checked copyright information on this photo, before you posted nonsense on my talk page?

The file is uploaded by Ellywise last month under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 4.0 International license, and it is already used on Greek Wikipedia for a month. I've just replaced the photo on Dusan Vlahovic profile with another one that is available, copyright is not my business as I'm not the one who uploaded this photo.

@Easternmagic:. I've already explained why they cannot be used. Every single photo which is on Juventus site is copyrighted. (However, it'd be nice if fair use was allowed on Wikipedia). I'll tell the same thing to the dude who has uploaded it. Dr Salvus 10:54, 11 August 2022 (UTC)
Nvm, the uploaded had arleady been warned. Please, next time you upload a photo, remember that 99,99999% of the teams of the world do not upload uncopyrighted photos. Dr Salvus 11:05, 11 August 2022 (UTC)
Yeah, I see that now. When I've visited the page where this photo is uploaded there was an information "CC BY-SA 4.0 Juventus - Juventus Official File:Dusan Vlahovic vs Lazio.jpg Created: 18 May 2022". It was enough for me, as I just thinked it would be nice to replace Vlahovic's photo with a new and better one. I do understand your intention, but one more time I'm the one who just replaced that photo, not the one who uploaded it. So if you already reverted my edit, there was no need to publish that message on my profile. Cheers Easternmagic (talk) 11:31, 11 August 2022 (UTC)

Clean sheet in Juventus v Spezia

Hello. Who gets it? Wojciech Szczęsny, who played from first minute, or Mattia Perin, who replaced the former in the first half? Island92 (talk) 21:08, 31 August 2022 (UTC)

@Island92 I guess both but idk. Dr Salvus 21:11, 31 August 2022 (UTC)

just wanted u to know that Tommaso Berti has been a player for AC Fiorentina since September 1, 2022. Permanent transfer from Cesena and now plays in Fiorentina U19 or maybe you will understand "Fiorentina Primavera" essendo italiano. Quindi sosituisca le modifiche da Cesena a Fiorentina, Grazie.

just wante Da701 (talk) 09:28, 17 September 2022 (UTC)

@Da701  Done and read WP:ENGLISHPLEASE. I cannot add Fiorentina U19 in the infobox because it's neither a first team nor a reserve team. However, I've added that he'd been assigned to the U19s. Dr Salvus 11:59, 17 September 2022 (UTC)

TFL notification

Hi, Dr Salvus. I'm just posting to let you know that List of international goals scored by Gigi Riva – a list that you have been heavily involved with – has been chosen to appear on the Main Page as Today's featured list for November 7. The TFL blurb can be seen here. If you have any thoughts on the selection, please post them on my talk page or at TFL talk. Regards, Giants2008 (Talk) 20:21, 14 October 2022 (UTC)

FL director

Hi, Dr Salvus. I became an FL director in 2011 after a !vote by the FL community (can't believe it's been that long). I had been involved in the FL process as a reviewer for a few years at that point and had finished runner-up in an FL director election previously. When it was thought that another director was necessary, I was the one offered the role. As TFL contributions go, I would suggest continuing to become more involved in the process. You've nominated a couple of lists already, which is great, but any reviews you could provide for blurbs at TFL, or at FLC for that matter, would be incredibly helpful. The TFL blurbs don't typically get that many reviews, so that would be a great thing for the TFL process. That goes for TFL nominations and the other blurbs I write. I am human and make typing mistakes and the like once in a blue moon, so any fixes are much appreciated and help maintain the quality of TFL. If you do quality work, whether writing articles, reviewing them, or in doing any kind of tasks in general on this site, people will see it and notice. Hopefully this helps.

Whack!

You've been whacked with a wet trout.

For your breath-taking self-importance.

Chris Troutman (talk) 21:47, 30 September 2022 (UTC)

@Chris troutman mine is an unnoticed hard work. I want anyone to judge it. Dr Salvus 21:49, 30 September 2022 (UTC)
Both Juventus F.C. Youth Sector and 2022–23 Juventus Next Gen season lack coverage in independent media and therefore might fail WP:NCORP. Wikipedians generally don't get barnstars for content creation so you shouldn't expect folks to give you recognition for your perverse hobby, especially since so many of yours are mere stubs. Asking one of the kindest Wikipedians to give you an award you probably don't merit is ridiculous. You earn DYKs for articles like Maria Sole Ferrieri Caputi and the DYK credit is what you get. I've written 34 articles but never got recognition for any of them unless I had a conflict of interest when I did them. If you want recognition from the community you need to get into Wikipedia name space and earn their attention. Chris Troutman (talk) 23:27, 30 September 2022 (UTC)
Ok, evidently I wasn't aware they should not fail WP:NCORP. I do not want to cheat, nor to exploit someone's kindness. I'll remove my request. Dr Salvus 06:27, 1 October 2022 (UTC)
@Chris troutman, at the end I got the award yesterday. Dr Salvus 09:41, 28 October 2022 (UTC)
Congratulations. Since you've earned the award based upon your contributions leading to an ITN and multiple DYKs, it must feel pretty good. I got mine after a difficult period of editing and thinking back on that time isn't pleasant for me. Chris Troutman (talk) 12:15, 28 October 2022 (UTC)

DYK for Gian Piero Ventrone

On 26 October 2022, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Gian Piero Ventrone, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that athletic trainer Gian Piero Ventrone, nicknamed "marine" for his very hard and tiring training sessions, made his players ring a "bell of shame" when they were too exhausted to continue? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Gian Piero Ventrone. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Gian Piero Ventrone), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page.

Just a suggestion

Hello, and Happy New Year!

Since I noticed that the sign-ups for this year's WikiCup are still open (and will be until the end of the month), I just wanted to let you know about it, as it might be a good opportunity to keep going with your hard work and get even more appreciation.

Personally, I don't think I'll join the cup myself, since I'm still pretty average... : D

Good luck, should you decide to throw your hat in the ring!

Oltrepier (talk) 17:57, 2 January 2023 (UTC)

I don't know how much time I'll have in the next few weeks, but I might be able to take a look at least at the first article! Oltrepier (talk) 18:53, 5 January 2023 (UTC)
Also, did you see my recent comment here? I think it might help unlock the discussion about your own article. Oltrepier (talk) 18:56, 5 January 2023 (UTC)

@Oltrepier, I may need time to do this. Can you try expanding Dean Huijsen so we can nominate it for DYK? Please, update the pages on Juventus U23 pages before next match, to avoid getting a mess for the next update.
Actually, I can't stay much time with my PC. Dr Salvus 16:42, 11 January 2023 (UTC)
No problem with it, I'll put the review on hold if you need it!
To be honest, I already added all the information I had on Huijsen last time, so I don't really see that opportunity coming soon...
And yes, I'll try my best with those player pages. Oltrepier (talk) 16:51, 11 January 2023 (UTC)
@Oltrepier, maybe you can add something on his style of play but I need you to do this. I've renounced time of sleep to see Iling's comments, I'm very busy!
We'll nominate it for DYK together. Dr Salvus 00:17, 12 January 2023 (UTC)
And I was about to forget: thanks for your U23 update! Dr Salvus 00:17, 12 January 2023 (UTC)

@Oltrepier, if you can give me a suggestion fot the DYK hook, I'll make another joint nomination. Dr Salvus 00:44, 14 January 2023 (UTC)
@Dr Salvus Maybe you could write about the Benfica game or the one against Lecce? That's the only idea I've got...
And don't worry: you worked on the article originally, so you can take full credit for it. : ) Oltrepier (talk) 08:35, 14 January 2023 (UTC)

About the DYK nomination of Dean Huijsen

Hello! I've just found out about your decision to nominate the article for a DYK spot. I know we already talked about this, but I still don't think the page is ready to get it. I'll definitely see what we can do, though.

Plus, be careful about what you claim when you propose co-nominations: this is actually my second one...

Oltrepier (talk) 10:13, 16 January 2023 (UTC)

Ok, about the hook's length issue, I think we can just simplify it even more, at this point. Maybe, something like this would be a good compromise:
"... that Dean Huijsen went from featuring for Juventus' under-17 squad to playing for their professional reserve team in just half a year?"
What do you think about it? Oltrepier (talk) 11:03, 17 January 2023 (UTC)
Seems like we made it, in the end. Yay! : D Oltrepier (talk) 13:29, 20 January 2023 (UTC)
@Oltrepier, need your Juventus U23 update, please. Dr Salvus 22:05, 20 January 2023 (UTC)
@Oltrepier, if you wish, you can update every U23 player until June. Dr Salvus 18:24, 29 January 2023 (UTC)

WikiCup 2023 March newsletter

So ends the first round of the 2023 WikiCup. Everyone with a positive score moved on to Round 2, with 54 contestants qualifying. The top scorers in Round 1 were:

  • Unlimitedlead with 1205 points, a WikiCup newcomer, led the field with two featured articles on historical figures and several featured article candidate reviews.
  • New York (state) Epicgenius was in second place with 789 points; a seasoned WikiCup competitor he specialises in buildings and locations in New York.
  • Germany FrB.TG was in third place with 625 points, garnered from a featured article on a filmmaker which qualified for an impressive number of bonus points.
  • United States TheJoebro64, another WikiCup newcomer, came next with 600 points gained from two featured articles on video games.
  • Byzantine Empire Iazyges was in fifth place with 532 points, from two featured articles on classical history.

The top sixteen contestants at the end of Round 1 had all scored over 300 points; these included Berkelland LunaEatsTuna, Thebiguglyalien, Sammi Brie, New England Trainsandotherthings, England Lee Vilenski, Indonesia Juxlos, Unexpectedlydian, Washington (state) SounderBruce, Wales Kosack, BennyOnTheLoose and Chicago PCN02WPS. It was a high-scoring start to the competition.

These contestants, like all the others, now have to start again from scratch. The first round finished on February 26. Remember that any content promoted after that date but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Some contestants made claims before the new submissions pages were set up, and they will need to resubmit them. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed.

If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

WikiCup 2023 May newsletter

The second round of the 2023 WikiCup has now finished. Contestants needed to have scored 60 points to advance into round 3. Our top five scorers in round 2 all included a featured article among their submissions and each scored over 500 points. They were:

Other notable performances were put in by Sammi Brie, Thebiguglyalien, MyCatIsAChonk, Chicago PCN02WPS, and London AirshipJungleman29.

So far contestants have achieved thirteen featured articles between them, one being a joint effort, and forty-nine good articles. The judges are pleased with the thorough reviews that are being performed, and have hardly had to reject any. As we enter the third round, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 2 but before the start of round 3 can be claimed in round 3. Remember too that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them.

If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anywhere 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!

New pages patrol newsletter

Hello Wikipediæ philosophia,

New Page Review article queue, March to September 2023

Backlog update: At the time of this message, there are 11,300 articles and 15,600 redirects awaiting review. This is the highest backlog in a long time. Please help out by doing additional reviews!

October backlog elimination drive: A one-month backlog drive for October will start in one week! Barnstars will be awarded based on the number of articles and redirects patrolled. Articles will earn 4x as many points compared to redirects. You can sign up here.

PageTriage code upgrades: Upgrades to the PageTriage code, initiated by the NPP open letter in 2022 and actioned by the WMF Moderator Tools Team in 2023, are ongoing. More information can be found here. As part of this work, the Special:NewPagesFeed now has a new version in beta! The update leaves the NewPagesFeed appearance and function mostly identical to the old one, but updates the underlying code, making it easier to maintain and helping make sure the extension is not decommissioned due to maintenance issues in the future. You can try out the new Special:NewPagesFeed here - it will replace the current version soon.

Notability tip: Professors can meet WP:PROF #1 by having their academic papers be widely cited by their peers. When reviewing professor articles, it is a good idea to find their Google Scholar or Scopus profile and take a look at their h-index and number of citations. As a very rough rule of thumb, for most fields, articles on people with a h-index of twenty or more, a first-authored paper with more than a thousand citations, or multiple papers each with more than a hundred citations are likely to be kept at AfD.

Reviewing tip: If you would like like a second opinion on your reviews or simply want another new page reviewer by your side when patrolling, we recommend pair reviewing! This is where two reviewers use Discord voice chat and screen sharing to communicate with each other while reviewing the same article simultaneously. This is a great way to learn and transfer knowledge.

The following scorers in Round 1 all scored more than 300 points:

In this newsletter, the judges would like to pay a special tribute to Vami_IV (submissions), who unfortunately passed away this February. At the time of his death, he was the second-highest-scoring competitor. Outside the WikiCup, he had eight other featured articles, five A-class articles, eight other good articles, and two Four Awards. Vami also wrote an essay on completionism, a philosophy in which he deeply believed. If you can, please join us in honoring his memory by improving one of the articles on his to-do list.

Remember that any content promoted after 27 February but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed.

New Pages Patrol newsletter April 2024

Hello Wikipediæ philosophia,

New Page Review queue January to March 2024

Backlog update: The October drive reduced the article backlog from 11,626 to 7,609 and the redirect backlog from 16,985 to 6,431! Congratulations to Schminnte, who led with over 2,300 points.

Following that, New Page Patrol organized another backlog drive for articles in January 2024. The January drive started with 13,650 articles and reduced the backlog to 7,430 articles. Congratulations to JTtheOG, who achieved first place with 1,340 points in this drive.

Looking at the graph, it seems like backlog drives are one of the only things keeping the backlog under control. Another backlog drive is being planned for May. Feel free to participate in the May backlog drive planning discussion.

It's worth noting that both queues are gradually increasing again and are nearing 14,034 articles and 22,540 redirects. We encourage you to keep contributing, even if it's just a single patrol per day. Your support is greatly appreciated!

2023 Awards

Onel5969 won the 2023 cup with 17,761 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 50/day. There was one Platinum Award (10,000+ reviews), 2 Gold Awards (5000+ reviews), 6 Silver (2000+), 8 Bronze (1000+), 30 Iron (360+) and 70 more for the 100+ barnstar. Hey man im josh led on redirect reviews by clearing 36,175 of them. For the full details, see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone for their efforts in reviewing!

WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers deployed the rewritten NewPagesFeed in October, and then gave the NewPagesFeed a slight visual facelift in November. This concludes most major work to Special:NewPagesFeed, and most major work by the WMF Moderator Tools team, who wrapped up their major work on PageTriage in October. The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers will continue small work on PageTriage as time permits.

Recruitment: A couple of the coordinators have been inviting editors to become reviewers, via mass-messages to their talk pages. If you know someone who you'd think would make a good reviewer, then a personal invitation to them would be great. Additionally, if there are Wikiprojects that you are active on, then you can add a post there asking participants to join NPP. Please be careful not to double invite folks that have already been invited.

Reviewing tip: Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages within their most familiar subjects can use the regularly updated NPP Browser tool.

They have conducted 357 featured content reviews, as well as 553 good article reviews and peer reviews, and have added 30 articles to featured topics and good topics.

Any content promoted after 29 August but before the start of Round 5 can be claimed during Round 5, which starts on 1 September at 00:00 (UTC). Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. If two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether for a good article, featured content, or anything else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. Remember to claim your points within 14 days of earning them, and importantly, before the deadline on 31 October.
