Hi Keilana, I'm back and caught up with email. I'd love to take you on your offer to teach me the ropes on editing properly including referencing, and use some of any other editing tools. I'm excited about contributing to the WikiProject Women Scientist. IF we are in close timezone I can do Skype, Google hangouts or other, let me know what works best for you. Thanks again for your time and generosity! Cheers! Sylvia slv 19:54, 7 January 2013 (UTC) <br />

*{{flagicon image|Flag of Mars.svg|link=Mars}} ], with 1535 points mainly gained from a featured article, 15 good articles, 26 good article reviews and lots of bonus points.


Between them during round 4, contestants achieved 12 featured articles, 3 featured lists, 3 featured pictures, 126 good articles, 46 DYK entries, 14 ITN entries, 67 featured article candidate reviews and 147 good article reviews. Congratulations to our eight finalists and all who participated! It was a generally high-scoring and productive round and I think we can expect a highly competitive finish to the competition.
Firstly congratulations on getting this article up to GA standard. That takes a LOT of work. Well done. I have made a few minor changes to the article since which I hope you wont mind too much.


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 10 days of "earning" them and within 24 hours of the end of the final. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on ]. It would be helpful if this list could be cleared of any items no longer relevant. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on ], and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. <small>If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove your name from ].</small>
One minor niggle: In English the ] is similar in function to the ]. It is not (as far as I know) supposed to be used to join two (or more) ]s into a single sentence. That instead is the function of a ] or a ].


I will be standing down as a judge after the end of the contest. I think the Cup encourages productive editors to improve their contributions to Misplaced Pages and I hope that someone else will step up to take over the running of the Cup. ] (]), and ] (])

Hello and welcome to the September 2023 newsletter, a quarterly digest of Guild activities since June. Don't forget you can unsubscribe at any time; see below.
'The cat sat on the mat: the dog joined it there.'


'''David Thomsen:''' Prolific Wikipedian and Guild member David Thomsen ({{noping|Dthomsen8}}) died in November 2022. He was a regular copy editor who took part in many of our Drives and Blitzes. An obituary was published in the mid-July issue of '']''. Tributes can be left on David's ].
An alternative is


'''Election news:''' In our ], {{noping|Dhtwiki}} was chosen as lead coordinator, {{noping|Miniapolis|Zippybonzo}} continue as assistant coordinators, and {{noping|Baffle gab1978}} stepped down from the role. If you're interested in helping out at the GOCE, please consider nominating yourself for our next election in December; it's ''your'' WikiProject and it doesn't organize itself!
'The cat sat on the mat and the dog joined it there.'


'''June Blitz:''' Of the 17 editors who signed up for our ], 12 copy-edited at least one article. 70,035 words comprising 26 articles were copy-edited. Barnstars awarded are ].
As I (currently) understand the use of a semicolon it is used as an alternative to a comma but can also be used to separate subordinate clauses within a sentence. The distinction here is between subordinate clauses which may separated by a semicolon and sentences which can be joined by a colon. The initial letter of the phrase following a semicolon should be in lower case while that following a colon may be either in upper or lower case.


'''July Drive:''' 34 of the 51 editors who took part in our ] copy-edited at least one article. They edited 276 articles and 683,633 words between them. Barnstars awarded are ].
The uses of semicolons and colons may differ considerably between languages and have VERY different uses in programming. It also is quite possible that English is not your first language: if this is the case please accept my apologies.


'''August Blitz:''' In our ], 13 of the 16 editors who signed up worked on at least one article. Between them, they copy-edited 79,608 words comprising 57 articles. Barnstars awarded are available ].
I'm probably sounding like a 'Grammer Nazi' here which I'm not usually. Lord knows I make enough 'mistooks' myself (typos are my speciality). However the misuse of a semicolon is (sadly) common and IMHO detracts from an article.


'''September Drive:''' ] for our month-long '''September Backlog Elimination Drive''', which is now underway. Barnstars awarded will be posted ].
Please keep up the good work. ] (]) 14:12, 6 January 2013 (UTC)


'''Progress report:''' As of 14:29, 9 September 2023 (UTC), GOCE copy editors have processed 245 ] since 1 January. The backlog of tagged articles stands at 2,066. <!--UPDATE before sending!-->
Addition:


Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators, {{noping|Dhtwiki|Miniapolis|Zippybonzo}}.
According to WP the ] is an use of the comma to coordinate separate sentences and is an exception to the usual rule governing the use of commas. Don't you just love WP :)

You may have heard a reference to a transition the education program is going through. This is the last term that the Wikimedia Foundation will directly run the U.S. and Canada programs; beginning in June, a proposed thematic organization is likely to take over organizing the program. You can ].

Another major change in the program will take effect immediately. Beginning this term, a new MediaWiki education extension will replace all course pages and Ambassador lists. (See ] and ] for more details.) Included in the extension are ''online volunteer'' and ''campus volunteer'' user rights, which let you create and edit course pages and sign up as an ambassador for a particular course.

'''Tip of the month:'''
;Communication and keeping up to date
* ''When translating articles from another language Misplaced Pages, don't forget </br>to .''
In the past, the Education Program has had a pretty fragmented set of communication channels. We're trying to fix that. These are the recommended places to discuss and stay up-to-date on the education program:
# ] has become the main on-wiki location for discussion of the Education Program. You can post there about broad education program issues as well as issues with individual courses.
# is a very low-traffic announcements list of important information all Ambassadors need to be aware of. We encourage all Ambassadors (and other interested Wikipedians) to subscribe to the list; follow the instructions on the link to add your email address.
# If you use IRC regularly, or need to try to reach someone immediately, the {{freenode|wikipedia-en-ambassadors}} IRC channel is the place to find me and fellow Ambassadors.

== WikiCup 2023 November newsletter ==
Please go through the training if you feel like you need a refresher on how a typical class is supposed to go and where the Ambassadors fit in, or if you want to review and help improve it. If there's something you'd like to see added, or other suggestions you have for it, feel free to edit the training and/or leave feedback. A ] is included in the educators' training.


The '''WikiCup''' is a marathon rather than a sprint and all those reaching the final round have been involved in the competition for the last ten months, improving Misplaced Pages vastly during the process. After all this hard work, {{flagicon|Delaware}} ] has emerged as the 2023 winner and the '''WikiCup Champion'''. The finalists this year were:-

And, as always, let students (and other editors!) know when they do things well; a little WikiLove goes a long way!

Congratulations to everyone who participated in this year's WikiCup, whether they made it to the final round or not, and particular congratulations to the newcomers to the competition, some of whom did very well. Misplaced Pages has benefitted greatly from the quality creations, expansions and improvements made, and the numerous reviews performed. All those who reached the final round will win awards. The following special awards will be made based on high performance in particular areas of content creation and review. Awards will be handed out in the next few days.

Thanks for your message welcoming me to Misplaced Pages. I look forwarding to working with you. Since this is my first message ever on Misplaced Pages, please let me know if this came through okay. Also, please note that I originally set up my user page as jgould140 but couldn't get into it, so I created a new user page under jgould1400 (which BTW is the page you used for sending me your message, so that worked fine). However, I see that on our course's page, I'm still grouped with my partner (cdunca) as "jgould140". Is there a way to change this so there's no confusion?

== ''The Signpost'': 4 July 2024 ==
Round 1 saw 21 competitors with over 100 points, which is fantastic; that suggests that this year's competition is going to be highly competative. Our lower scores indicate this, too: A score of 19 was required to reach round 2, which was significantly higher than the 11 points required in 2012 and 8 points required in 2011. The score needed to reach round 3 will be higher, and may depend on pool groupings. In 2011, 41 points secured a round 3 place, while in 2012, 65 was needed. Our top three scorers in round 1 were:
#{{Misplaced Pages:WikiCup/Participant4|Sturmvogel_66}}, primarily for an array of warship GAs.
#{{Misplaced Pages:WikiCup/Participant4|Miyagawa}}, primarily for an array of did you knows and good articles, some of which were awarded bonus points.
#{{Misplaced Pages:WikiCup/Participant4|Casliber}}, due in no small part to ], a featured article awarded a total of 340 points. A joint submission with {{Misplaced Pages:WikiCup/Participant4|Keilana}}, this is the highest scoring single article yet submitted in this year's competition.

'''Announcements from other communities'''
Hello<br>
* TBD
I notice you added some detail to the ] page on mythology associated with the star Canopus. As it was on the star in particular, rather than the constellation as whole, I'm thinking it would be better placed on the ] page.
What do you think? Would you have any objection to it being moved? ] (]) 21:38, 5 March 2013 (UTC)
:Hey Moonraker, I think that all of it should definitely also appear in the Canopus article. I'm not sure all of it should be removed from the Carina article, though I'm not adamantly against it, maybe just the major mythologies should be kept (e.g. Arabic, Chinese, Greco-Roman, Aztec, and Maori)? It's a hard balance to strike and I do think the focus of the article should be on the constellation, but I don't want to neglect mentioning Canopus and how it fits in. ]&#124;<sup>]</sup> 03:13, 6 March 2013 (UTC)

Hi Keilana,
I'm having a number of problems adapting to all this Misplaced Pages-speak and Misplaced Pages processes and really need some help -- most immediately I need help with downloading images. I'm merely trying to download some simple images that are already on Misplaced Pages Commons (and also on Misplaced Pages pages) -- and in fact I'm trying to download the images directly from Misplaced Pages Commons, yet this is taking a ridiculous amount of time and still no luck. I have to say that the Misplaced Pages instructions are extremely unhelpful. Please help me out. I may be over 50, but I'm also an Ivy League grad and have been a lawyer in high tech fields for over 20 years, so I doubt I'm wrong about Misplaced Pages's problematic formats and instructions. Sorry to bother you, but this is really frustrating. I'm spending a large sum of money on tuition to learn molecular biology and not to be a Misplaced Pages expert. Please help. Thanks, Jim ] (]) 05:15, 14 March 2013 (UTC)

Wikipedians who enjoy friendly competition may be interested in participating in April's ]. While wikifying an article is typically not considered "significant work" such that it can be claimed for WikiCup points, such ] work is often invaluable in keeping articles in shape, and is typically very helpful for new writers who may not be familiar with formatting norms.

== Invitation to participate in a research ==
== feedback wikicourse ==


Hello,
Hi Keilana, Thank you so much for giving Mike feedback! really appreciated.
The other students should post a first draft by april 3th. They should also upload an illustration by april 10th. The semester will be over on april 24th.


The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Misplaced Pages, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this ''''''.
I am trying to figure out the best strategy for the other 12 students.
If I understood it correctly the Guild of Copy Editors that you suggested to Mike is an option only when the article is already in the mainspace.
However, the other 12 students are not familiar with Misplaced Pages as Mike. Therefore, ideally I think it would be better to have them to post first on their sandbox and having ambassadors giving them feedback first.But I don't want to take advantage of you and the other ambassador. I don't know how much time do you have.
Please, let me know what do you think about that and which strategy do you suggest.
Thanks!
] (]) 01:35, 1 April 2013 (UTC)


You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.
:Thanks!! I want to be sure that I understood correctly. My students will post their articles on their sandbox tomorrow. Then, they will enroll in the wikipedia course page. Here, they will "add an article". At this stage, they will add the link to their sandbox. At the end of they will add the link to the real article (the article in wikipedia). Let me know if I understood correctly. Thanks!

== WikiCup 2024 November newsletter ==
== Diberri's Tools Question ==


The 2024 WikiCup has come to an end, with the final round being a very tight race. Our new champion is {{Misplaced Pages:WikiCup/Participant15|AirshipJungleman29}}, who scored 2,283 points mainly through 3 high-multiplier FAs and 3 GAs on military history topics. By a 1% margin, Airship beat out last year's champion, {{Misplaced Pages:WikiCup/Participant15|BeanieFan11}}, who scored second with 2,264 points, mainly from an impressive 58 GAs about athletes. In third place, {{Misplaced Pages:WikiCup/Participant15|Generalissima}} scored 1,528 points, primarily from two FAs on U.S. Librarians of Congress and 20 GAs about various historical topics. Our other finalists are: {{Misplaced Pages:WikiCup/Participant15|Sammi Brie}} with 879 points, {{Misplaced Pages:WikiCup/Participant15|Hey man im josh}} with 533 points, {{Misplaced Pages:WikiCup/Participant15|BennyOnTheLoose}} with 432 points, {{Misplaced Pages:WikiCup/Participant15|Arconning}} with 244 points, and {{Misplaced Pages:WikiCup/Participant15|AryKun}} with 15 points. Congratulations to our finalists and all who participated!
Hi Keilana,
I have to use Diberri's Template Filling tool for citing journal articles using a pubmed ID for my Misplaced Pages article, XRCC4, for the Molecular Biology class at JHU. I have looked up the instructions and they are not clear. Can you please help explain the step-by-step instructions or provide a link with clearer instructions? Do I begin by choosing "cite journal" under the templates pull down menu? When I choose this method, it lets me fill in all the journal specifics but only creates a named inline reference. If I use Diberri's correctly, would the reference start with DOI as a link?
Thank you for your help!

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited ], you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page ] (]&nbsp;|&nbsp;]). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. <small>Read the ]{{*}} Join us at the ].</small>


For the 2025 WikiCup, we've implemented ] to the scoring system.

WikiCup 2023 September newsletter

The fourth round of the competition has finished, with anyone scoring less than 673 points being eliminated. It was a high scoring round with all but one of the contestants who progressed to the final having achieved an FA during the round. The highest scorers were

  • New York (state) Epicgenius, with 2173 points topping the scores, gained mainly from a featured article, 38 good articles and 9 DYKs. He was followed by
  • Sammi Brie, with 1575 points, gained mainly from a featured article, 28 good articles and 50 good article reviews. Close behind was
  • Thebiguglyalien, with 1535 points mainly gained from a featured article, 15 good articles, 26 good article reviews and lots of bonus points.

Between them during round 4, contestants achieved 12 featured articles, 3 featured lists, 3 featured pictures, 126 good articles, 46 DYK entries, 14 ITN entries, 67 featured article candidate reviews and 147 good article reviews. Congratulations to our eight finalists and all who participated! It was a generally high-scoring and productive round and I think we can expect a highly competitive finish to the competition.

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 10 days of "earning" them and within 24 hours of the end of the final. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Misplaced Pages:WikiCup/Reviews. It would be helpful if this list could be cleared of any items no longer relevant. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Misplaced Pages talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove your name from Misplaced Pages:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

I will be standing down as a judge after the end of the contest. I think the Cup encourages productive editors to improve their contributions to Misplaced Pages and I hope that someone else will step up to take over the running of the Cup. Sturmvogel 66 (talk), and Cwmhiraeth (talk)

WikiCup 2023 November newsletter

The WikiCup is a marathon rather than a sprint and all those reaching the final round have been involved in the competition for the last ten months, improving Misplaced Pages vastly during the process. After all this hard work, Delaware BeanieFan11 has emerged as the 2023 winner and the WikiCup Champion. The finalists this year were:-

Congratulations to everyone who participated in this year's WikiCup, whether they made it to the final round or not, and particular congratulations to the newcomers to the competition, some of whom did very well. Misplaced Pages has benefitted greatly from the quality creations, expansions and improvements made, and the numerous reviews performed. All those who reached the final round will win awards. The following special awards will be made based on high performance in particular areas of content creation and review. Awards will be handed out in the next few days.

  • Unlimitedlead wins the featured article prize, for 7 FAs in total including 3 in round 2.
  • MyCatIsAChonk wins the featured list prize, for 5 FLs in total.
  • England Lee Vilenski wins the featured topic prize, for a 6-article featured topic in round 4.
  • MyCatIsAChonk wins the featured picture prize, for 6 FPs in total.
  • Delaware BeanieFan11 wins the good article prize, for 75 GAs in total, including 61 in the final round.
  • New York (state) Epicgenius wins the good topic prize, for a 41-article good topic in the final round.
  • Berkelland LunaEatsTuna wins the GA reviewer prize, for 70 GA reviews in round 1.
  • MyCatIsAChonk wins the FA reviewer prize, for 66 FA reviews in the final round.
  • New York (state) Epicgenius wins the DYK prize, for 49 did you know articles in total.
  • Ukraine Muboshgu wins the ITN prize, for 46 in the news articles in total.

The WikiCup has run every year since 2007. With the 2023 contest now concluded, I will be standing down as a judge due to real life commitments, so I hope that another editor will take over running the competition. Please get in touch if you are interested. Next year's competition will hopefully begin on 1 January 2024. You are invited to sign up to participate in the contest; the WikiCup is open to all Wikipedians, both novices and experienced editors. It only remains to congratulate our worthy winners once again and thank all participants for their involvement!

WikiCup 2024 February newsletter

The 2024 WikiCup is off to a flying start, with 135 participants. This is the largest number of participants we have seen since 2017.

Our current leader is newcomer Generalissima (submissions), who has one FA on John Littlejohn (preacher) and 10 GAs and 12 DYKs mostly on New Zealand coinage and Inuit figures. Here are some more noteworthy scorers:

As a reminder, competitors may submit work for the first round until 23:59 (UTC) on 27 February, and the second round starts 1 March. Remember that only the top 64 scoring competitors will make it through to the second round; currently, competitors need at least 15 points to progress. 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 Misplaced Pages: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 Misplaced Pages talk:WikiCup and the judges (Cwmhiraeth (talk · contribs), Epicgenius (talk · contribs), and Frostly (talk · contribs)) are reachable on their talk pages. Good luck! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove your name from Misplaced Pages:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

WikiCup 2024 March newsletter

The first round of the 2024 WikiCup ended at 23:59 (UTC) on 27 February. Everyone with at least 30 points moved on to Round 2, the highest number of points required to advance to the second round since 2014. Due to a six-way tie for the 64th-place spot, 67 contestants have qualified for Round 2.

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.

Chicago Meetup for Wikidata Day

Hello! This is User:Luiysia (IRL name is Kelly). My main interests are fashion, music, literature, and history. I am fairly new to Misplaced Pages editing and I found that there has been very little activity from the Chicago Misplaced Pages user group since 2020.

I'd like to host a casual meetup in Chicago to celebrate Wikidata Day on Saturday, October 26.

Proposed location is Engine Coffee in the Wicker Park/West Town area, at 11AM.

Here is the official meetup page, where you can add yourself as an attendee.

(If you would prefer not to see messages like this, go ahead and take yourself off this list.)

Hope to see you all there!

Invitation to participate in a research

Hello,

We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this anonymous survey.

You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.

The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement .

WikiCup 2024 November newsletter

The 2024 WikiCup has come to an end, with the final round being a very tight race. Our new champion is AirshipJungleman29 (submissions), who scored 2,283 points mainly through 3 high-multiplier FAs and 3 GAs on military history topics. By a 1% margin, Airship beat out last year's champion, Delaware BeanieFan11 (submissions), who scored second with 2,264 points, mainly from an impressive 58 GAs about athletes. In third place, Generalissima (submissions) scored 1,528 points, primarily from two FAs on U.S. Librarians of Congress and 20 GAs about various historical topics. Our other finalists are: Sammi Brie (submissions) with 879 points, Canada Hey man im josh (submissions) with 533 points, BennyOnTheLoose (submissions) with 432 points, Arconning (submissions) with 244 points, and Christmas Island AryKun (submissions) with 15 points. Congratulations to our finalists and all who participated!

The final round was very productive, and contestants had 7 FAs, 9 FLs, 94 GAs, 73 FAC reviews, and 79 GAN reviews and peer reviews. Altogether, Misplaced Pages has benefited greatly from the activities of WikiCup competitors all through the contest. Well done everyone!

All those who reached the final will receive awards and the following special awards will be made, based on high performance in particular areas of content creation. So that the finalists do not have an undue advantage, these prizes are awarded to the competitor who scored the highest in any particular field in a single round, or in the event of a tie, to the overall leader in this field.

Next year's competition will begin on 1 January. You are invited to sign up to participate; the WikiCup is open to all Wikipedians, both novices and experienced editors, and we hope to see you all in the 2025 competition. Until then, it only remains to once again congratulate our worthy winners, and thank all participants for their involvement!

Here is the official meetup page, where you can add yourself as an attendee. See you soon!

Election news: The Guild's coordinators play an important role in the WikiProject, making sure nearly everything runs smoothly and on time.

The voting phase begins at 00:01 on 16 December and runs until 23:59 on 31 December. Questions may be asked of candidates at any stage in the process. Elected coordinators will serve a six-month term from 1 January through 30 June.

Welcome to the 2025 WikiCup!

Happy New Year and Happy New WikiCup! The 2025 competition has just begun and all article creators, expanders, improvers and reviewers are welcome to take part. Even if you are a novice editor, we hope the WikiCup will give you a chance to improve your editing skills as you go. If you have already signed up, your submissions page can be found here. If you have not yet signed up, you can add your name here and the judges will set up your submissions page ready for you to take part. Any questions on the scoring, rules or anything else should be directed to one of the judges, or posted to the WikiCup talk page.

For the 2025 WikiCup, we've implemented several changes to the scoring system. The highest-ranking contestants will now receive tournament points at the end of each round, and final rankings are decided by the number of tournament points each contestant has. If you're busy and can't sign up in January, don't worry: Signups are now open throughout the year. To make things fairer for latecomers, the lowest-scoring contestants will no longer be eliminated at the end of each round.

The first round will end on 26 February. The judges for the WikiCup this year are: Cwmhiraeth (talk · contribs · email), Epicgenius (talk · contribs · email), Frostly (talk · contribs · email), Guerillero (talk · contribs · email) and Lee Vilenski (talk · contribs · email). Good luck! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove your name from Misplaced Pages:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.
