The Signpost: 21 January 2013

The English Wikipedia's requests for adminship (RfA) process has entered another cycle of proposed reforms. Over the last three weeks, various proposals, ranging from as large as a transition to a representative democracy to as small as a required edit count and service length, have been debated on the RfA talk page. The total number of new administrators for 2012 was just 28, barely more than half of 2011's total and less than a quarter of 2009's total. The total number of unsuccessful RfAs has fallen as well. These declining numbers, which were described in what would now be considered a successful year (2010) as an emerging "wikigeneration gulf", have been coupled with a sharp decline in the number of active administrators since February 2008 (1,021), reaching a low of 653 in November 2012.
This week, we spent some time with WikiProject Linguistics. Started in January 2004, the project has grown to include 7 Featured Articles, 4 Featured Lists, 2 A-class Articles, and 15 Good Articles maintained by 43 members. The project's members keep an eye on several watchlists, maintain the linguistics category, and continue to build a collection of Did You Know? entries. The project is home to six task forces and works with WikiProject Languages and WikiProject Writing Systems.
This week, the Signpost's featured content section continues its recap of 2012 by looking at featured topics. We interviewed Grapple X and GamerPro64, who are delegates at the featured topic candidates.
The opening of the Doncram case marks the end of almost 6 months without any open cases, the longest in the history of the Committee.
On 22 January, WMF staff and contractors switched incoming, non-cached requests (including edits) to the Foundation's newer data centre in Ashburn, Virginia, making it responsible for handling almost all regular traffic. For the first time since 2004, virtually no traffic will be handled by the WMF's other facility in Tampa, Florida.

Hello Friend,

Your previous edits to Modern equipment and uniform of the Pakistan Army don't seem constructive to me. You have removed all the new data added to improve the article. I want to make it clear that I have added new weapons in Small Arms section which , if you check out > # Users will make you aware of the improvements done to the page by me. They are accompanied with references also.

I hope you won't vandalize the page again. Thanks... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Theoccupiedkashmir (talk • contribs) 16:20, 27 January 2013 (UTC)

Please donot add unreferenced info to the page or i will remove it. Please donot use blogs, as they are not reliable sources. Also, please understand the meaning of vandalism. Reverting your uncited changes is not called vandalism. Thanks. --Anir1uph | talk | contrib 16:24, 27 January 2013 (UTC)
All the new weapons that I have added are accompanied by references.. You should check them out on the corresponding pages .. like M2 Browning, Sterling SMG , etc... check their users .. all have reliable ref's — Preceding unsigned comment added by Theoccupiedkashmir (talk • contribs) 16:30, 27 January 2013 (UTC)
Please use inline citations. Also don't revert to the bare references. Thanks! Anir1uph | talk | contrib 16:35, 27 January 2013 (UTC)

I think you have got me now.. & yah i want to tell you that the page (when I started improving it) contained mere inline references. All other objects were dependent on page citations .....Cooperate to improve the page...Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by Theoccupiedkashmir (talk • contribs) 17:11, 27 January 2013 (UTC)

i saw those pages, and i saw the refs there. That is a start, but you need to add those refs to this page - [[Modern equipment and uniform of the Pakistan Army too. Or they will be removed as they are unreferenced on it. Also, please do not violate 3RR or edit war, or you may get blocked from editing. Keep up the good work! Anir1uph | talk | contrib 17:18, 27 January 2013 (UTC)
I have added references to all the new weapons I added to this wiki article .. Thanks --Theoccupiedkashmir (talk) 17:57, 27 January 2013 (UTC)

The Signpost: 28 January 2013

On New Year's Day, the Daily Dot reported that a "massive Wikipedia hoax" had been exposed after more than five years. The article on the Bicholim conflict had been listed as a "Good Article" for the past half-decade, yet turned out to be an ingenious hoax. Created in July 2007 by User:A-b-a-a-a-a-a-a-b-a, the meticulously detailed piece was approved as a GA in October 2007. A subsequent submission for FA was unsuccessful, but failed to discover that the article's key sources were made up. While the User:A-b-a-a-a-a-a-a-b-a account then stopped editing, the hoax remained listed as a Good Article for five years, receiving in the region of 150 to 250 page views a month in 2012. It was finally nominated for deletion on 29 December 2012 by ShelfSkewed—who had discovered the hoax while doing work on Category:Articles with invalid ISBNs—and deleted the same day.
A special issue of the American Behavioral Scientist is devoted to "open collaboration".
When we challenged the masters of WikiProject Chess to an interview, Sjakkalle answered our call. WikiProject Chess dates back to December 2003 and has grown to include 4 Featured Articles and 15 Good Articles maintained by over 100 members. The project typically operates independently of other WikiProjects, although the project would theoretically be a child of WikiProject Board and Table Games (interviewed in 2011). WikiProject Chess provides a collection of resources, seeks missing photographs of chess players, and helps determine ways that Wikipedia's coverage of chess can be expanded.
New discussions on the English Wikipedia include...
To many Wikimedians, the Khan Academy would seem like a close cousin: the academy is a non-profit educational website and a development of the massive open online course concept that has delivered over 227 million lessons in 22 different languages. Its mission is to give "a free, world-class education to anyone, anywhere." This complements Wikipedia's stated goal to "imagine a world in which every single person on the planet is given free access to the sum of all human knowledge", then go and create that world. It should come as no surprise, then, that the highly successful GLAM-Wiki (galleries, libraries, archives, museums) initiative has partnered with the Khan Academy's Smarthistory project to further both its and Wikipedia's goals.
This week, the Signpost featured content section continues its recap of 2012 by looking at featured lists. We interviewed FLC directors Giants2008 and The Rambling Man as well as active reviewer and writer PresN.
The Doncram case has continued into its third week.
As reported in last week's "Technology Report", the WMF's data centre in Ashburn, Virginia took over responsibility for almost all of the remaining functions that had previously been handled by their old facility in Tampa, Florida on 22 January. The Signpost reported then that few problems had arisen since handover. Unfortunately that was not to remain the case, with reports of caching problems (which typically only affect anonymous users) starting to come in.

AMCA Edits

thanks for the msg on my talk page. But I think you should put the livefist link back, just for the photos. Its highly unlikely we will ever see AMCA pics in any national/international newspaper until its inducted. Livefist is the blog of a reputed defence journalist. Look him up if you like. Cheers. Mycrofth (talk) 19:47, 5 February 2013 (UTC)

I agree. I have made the required changes. The slight problem with livefist is that Shiv doesnt get published in a newspaper, unlike Broadsword, whose articles have a stamp of reliability as the Colonel gets published at Business Standard. Yeah, i am an avid follower of both the blogs, along with others. They may not be reliable by wikipedia standards, but they are usually the earliest sources of interesting news. :) Anir1uph | talk | contrib 20:14, 5 February 2013 (UTC)

The Signpost: 04 February 2013

On February 12, 2012, news of Whitney Houston's death brought 425 hits per second to her Wikipedia article, the highest peak traffic on any article since at least January 2010. It is broadly known that Wikipedia is the sixth most popular website on the Internet, but the English Wikipedia now has over 4 million articles and 29 million total pages. Much less attention has been given to traffic patterns and trends in content viewed.
Article feedback, at least through talk pages, has been a part of Wikipedia since its inception in 2001. The use of these pages, though, has typically been limited to experienced editors who know how to use them.
This week, we took a trip to WikiProject Norway. Started in February 2005, WikiProject Norway has become the home for almost 34,000 articles about the world's best place to live, including 16 Featured Articles, 19 Featured Lists, and nearly 250 Good Articles. The project works on a to do list, maintains a categorization system, watches article alerts, and serves as a discussion forum.
This week, the Signpost's featured content section continues its recap of 2012 by looking at featured portals, a small yet active part of the project. We interviewed FPOC directors Cirt and OhanaUnited.
On 30 January 2013, Kevin Morris in the Daily Dot summarised the bitter debates in Wikipedia around capitalisation or non-capitalisation of the word "into" in the title of the upcoming Star Trek film, Star Trek Into Darkness.
Following the deployment of the Wikidata client to the Hungarian Wikipedia last month, the client was also deployed to the Italian and Hebrew Wikipedias on Wednesday. The next target for the client, which automatically provides phase 1 functionality, is the English Wikipedia, with a deployment date of 11 February already set.

Please don't be so quick to delete content

I've seen your recent edit on the Qaher-313 article where you deleted the part I wrote on the aircraft's avionics, using a photo taken during the official media event as a reference. First, I cannot find any specific rule that says a photo cannot be used as a reference (you claim it violates the original research policy, but that doesn't policy say anything about using a photo as a reference). Second, if you dislike the reference, please just simply say so (either by adding a tag or using the talk page) instead of just deleting everything.BabyNuke (talk) 07:44, 8 February 2013 (UTC)

Similar content was already added and deleted by editors before you to the very same article. And it will keep getting deleted as by WP:OR, you cannot add your own analysis, and it does not matter how you do it. Unless a reliable source says so, it is original research. I suggest you read that policy properly. Thanks. Anir1uph | talk | contrib 08:10, 8 February 2013 (UTC)
If I say the plane is black, provide a photo of the plane as a reference, is it still original research? Or do I need to provide a link to Jane's Defence Weekly and quote their article to satisfy that the plane is indeed black. I see a set of speeds indicated on a photo of an airspeed indicator, and I quote that speed as it is relevant to the article (because the speeds are unrealistic for this type of aircraft). That is not original research, that is an OBSERVATION. And I provide the photo as a reference so anyone can see that that is indeed the case. The same goes for OBSERVING the type of avionics being used. Further, it's curious that the Qahar-313 article contains pure speculation all over the place (for example regarding the engine), but that is okay because it is speculation from a reputable source, but statements on what it is KNOWN to have are not okay because it's based on an observation. The policy does not say a reliable source has to be a written document, instead the words "source material" are used. Anyway I found a reference now that shares my observation, but I still believe you should not delete things without any form of discussion when it is clear to anyone that what is being stated is correct (unless you doubt that what I wrote is correct).BabyNuke (talk) 09:42, 8 February 2013 (UTC)
You are missing the point: you are not supposed to add your own insight into the article. You surely can add the insight of reputable sources. Also, images can be morphed, and changed in ways that may not be detectable, and may start a hoax, hence they are never reliable sources of information. The source you added is of a blog, but i will let other, more experienced aviation project editors evaluate that. What i did was correct as per WP:BRD. Also, see the following edits and their explanations here and here. Thanks, Anir1uph | talk | contrib 09:52, 8 February 2013 (UTC)
There's a big difference between insight and observation. Reading a number on an airspeed indicator is not insight, it's an observation. Yes, photos can be edited, but there's no reason to assume these photos are edited. If we are going to assume the photos are edited then the references used in this article are just as influenced by them and thus also useless, no matter how reputable, because these photos are what the authors use as their reference material as well. As for the blog, TheAviationist.com is used as a reference for this article as well. It's titled: "David Cenciotti's Weblog". Yes, I'm aware that this person is a journalist, however the author of the blog I referenced is (according to his LinkedIn profile) a "Subject Matter Expert (SME) in defence & aerospace industry, focused on procurement programs, defence and security technology and policies. Interested in Modeling, Simulation & Training (MS&T), C4ISR, naval and aerospace systems." - I'd like to think that's enough authority on the subject? The edits you provide as examples aren't comparable.BabyNuke (talk) 10:32, 8 February 2013 (UTC)
But that difference is important as you cannot use your own insight or observation, but only some expert's observations. Images can be edits, and hence cannot be used as a reliable reference. Period. They only have indicative/supplementary purpose, unless the article itself is about the image. :) And, as i said, i will let other, more experienced editors decide this one. But i do stand by my edit. Anir1uph | talk | contrib 11:05, 8 February 2013 (UTC)
Also, the 2 example i had provided are kinda self-explanatory. So... Anir1uph | talk | contrib 11:11, 8 February 2013 (UTC)

You might want to take a look at the Indian Institutes of Management article. That table lists official websites and I used that as the basis for changing the IIT table.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Reservation against Cancellation, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Quota (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

The Signpost: 04 March 2013

Recently I was having a casual conversation with a friend, and he mentioned that he spent too many hours a day playing video games. I responded with a comment that I, too, spent way too much time on an activity of my own – Wikipedia. In an attempt to reply with a relevant remark, he offered something along the lines of: "So have you ever written anything?" After a second, I quickly answered yes, but I was still in shock over his question. It seemed to be rooted in a belief on his part that using Wikipedia meant just reading the articles, and that editing was something that someone, hypothetically, might do, but not really more likely than randomly counting to 7,744.
"WP:OUTING", the normally little-noticed policy corner of the English Wikipedia that governs the release of editors' personal information, has suddenly been brought to wider attention after long-term contributor and featured article writer Cla68 was indefinitely blocked last week. This snowballed into several other blocks, a desysopping by ArbCom, and a request for arbitration.
Three articles, six lists, and three pictures were promoted to "featured" status on the English Wikipedia this week, including the article on "Laura Secord", who was a Canadian heroine of the War of 1812 best known for warning the British of an impending American attack.
This week, we tuned to WikiProject Television Stations, a project that dates back to March 2004. WikiProject Television Stations primarily focuses on local stations, national networks, television markets, and other topics related to television channels in North America, the Caribbean, and some Pacific countries. The project has a fair bit of work ahead of them with over 4,000 unassessed articles and only one Good Article out of 626 assessed articles, giving the project a relative WikiWork rating of 5.262.

Regarding WikiProject:Indian Space Programme

Hello my dear co-editor!

I am pleased to announce that the Signpost and Wikizine have reached an in-principle agreement that will see Wikizine published as a special Signpost section at the beginning of each month.
During March, three of the Wikimedia Foundation's grantmaking schemes on Meta will reach important crossroads, which will shape how both the editing communities and Wikimedia institutions handle the distribution of donors' money across the movement.
Twelve articles, five lists, and eight pictures were promoted to "featured" status on the English Wikipedia this week, including an image of the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG, a front-engine, 2-seat luxury grand tourer automobile developed by Mercedes-AMG.
There are three open cases, and a final decision has been given in the Doncram case.
This week, we spent some time with WikiProject U.S. Supreme Court Cases.
The WMF has aborted a plan to deploy version 5 of the Article Feedback tool (AFTv5) rolled out to all English Wikipedia articles.

Famous again?

Famous again? See this they are using my image again. Haha they call me an artist, wow! Mr T(Talk?) (New thread?) 17:53, 13 March 2013 (UTC)

Article Feedback deployment

Hey Anir1uph; I'm dropping you this note because you've used the article feedback tool in the last month or so. On Thursday and Friday the tool will be down for a major deployment; it should be up by Saturday, failing anything going wrong, and by Monday if something does :). Thanks, Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 22:49, 13 March 2013 (UTC)

Hi

I have known ObscureReality(previously Woe90i) for a good amount of time.I never knew he was blocked until I noticed it now.Your warning to him was surely warranted. Cheers TheStrikeΣagle 14:49, 19 March 2013 (UTC)

Just two months into his second term as an arbitrator on the English Wikipedia, Coren resigned from the Committee with a blistering attack on his fellow arbitrators. At the heart of a strongly worded statement, posted both on his talk page and the arbitration notice board, was the claim that ArbCom has become politicised to the extent that "it can no longer do the job it was ostensibly elected for".
This week, we composed a tribute to WikiProject Composers. The project was created during the final hours of 2004 and finalized in early January 2005. It has grown to encompass over 8,000 pages, including 26 Featured Articles and 23 Good Articles. WikiProject Composers faces a difficult workload, with a relative WikiWork rating of 5.45.
Ask librarians what they think about Wikipedia and you might get some interesting answers. Some will throw up their hands about the laziness of the Google generation and their overdependence on Wikipedia. Some see it as the "competition". And some will tell you it's the greatest thing since sliced bread.
Nine articles, seven lists, eleven images, and one topic were promoted to "featured status" this week on the English Wikipedia.
On Thursday, arbitrator Coren resigned, following closely on the heels of Hersfold's resignation on Wednesday. There are two open cases. A final decision has been given in the Richard case.
The WMF's engineering report for January was published this week, giving an overview of all Foundation-sponsored technical operations in that month.

A Barnstar for you!
