Traffic report: Brinksmen on the brink

There's nothing like a good old bit of Cold War nostalgia, combined with a suitably scary international incident, to focus our attention on the real world. That said, nothing could stem our outpouring of affection for the beloved comedian Harold Ramis, whose death managed to top the week in the face of those international concerns.

News and notes: Wikipedia Library finding success in matching contributors with sources

This week, the Signpost caught up with the Wikipedia Library (TWL), which aims to connect reference resources with Wikipedia editors who can use them to improve articles.

News and notes: Wikimedians celebrate International Women's Day, Women's History Month

Wikimedians around the world gathered to celebrate Women's History Month and the associated International Women's Day by holding editathons. If you lived in the United Kingdom, you had the opportunity to attend Wikimedia UK's event at the Petrie Museum of Egyptian Archaeology, part of University College London and host to one of the largest collections of Egyptian and Sudanese artifacts in the world.

Traffic report: War and awards

An intensely busy week, as a confluence of celebratory, curious and urgent topics pushed typical residents like Facebook and Deaths in 2014 out of the top ten entirely.

Featured content: Ukraine burns

Five articles, two lists, and 52 pictures were promoted to "featured" status on the English Wikipedia this week.

WikiProject report: Russian WikiProject Entomology

Wikilinking

Hi, and thanks for your work on the English Wikipedia.

I noticed you worked on this article: [ https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Heiko_Bellmann&diff=599696410&oldid=599191665 ]

. Just a short note to point out that we don’t normally link:

dates
years
commonly known geographical terms (including well-known country-names), and
common terms you’d look up in a dictionary (unless significantly technical).

(This even applies for infoboxes.)

Thanks and my best wishes.

Forum: Wikimedia Commons mission: free media for the world or only Wikimedia projects?

Non-US editors and chapters have taken issue with a multitude of image deletions done on the Wikimedia Commons to comply with the Uruguay Round Agreements Act, a US law that brought the country into compliance with the Berne Convention.

WikiProject report: We have history

This week, we visited WikiProject History, an ancient project with roots dating back to 2001. The project is home to 196 pieces of Featured material and 483 Good and A-class articles independent of the vast accomplishments of its various child projects. WikiProject History maintains a lengthy list of tasks, oversees the history portal, and continues to build Wikipedia's outline of history.

Interview: Nate Ott: the writer behind 71 articles in the largest-ever good topic

In a record-breaker, the English Wikipedia has a new largest good topic: the 71-article Light cruisers of Germany, which concerns the light cruisers used by Germany during the 20th century.

Featured content: Spot the bulldozer

Twelve articles, fourteen lists, and six pictures were promoted to 'featured' status on the English Wikipedia last week.

News and notes: Foundation-supported Wikipedian in residence faces scrutiny

One of the first university Wikipedian in residence positions, hosted at Harvard University in 2012, has jumped back into the spotlight amid questions about its ethical integrity.

Traffic report: Into thin air

The utterly mystifying events surrounding Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, which has not fallen from the sky so much as vanished from it entirely, has left an information-starved public scrambling for precedents, some logical, some... not.

Comment: A foolish request

April Fools' Day is rapidly approaching. Every year, members of the community pull pranks and make (or attempt to make) humorous edits to pages across the project. Every year, the community follows April Fools' Day with a contentious debate about whether or not it is necessary to impose limits on April Fools' Day jokes for future years. It is a polarizing issue.

Traffic report: Down to a simmer

Topics like the 2014 Crimea crisis or the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 eased down the list, making way for such traditional topics as St Patrick's Day, Reddit threads and even Google Doodles, which have reappeared after a long absence.

Recent research: Wikipedians' "encyclopedic identity" dominates even in Kosovo debates

Have you wondered about differences in the articles on Crimea in the Russian, Ukrainian, and English versions of Wikipedia? A newly published article entitled "Lost in Translation: Contexts, Computing, Disputing on Wikipedia" doesn't address Crimea, but nonetheless offers insight into the editing of contentious articles in multiple language editions through a heavy qualitative examination of Wikipedia articles about the Kosovo in the Serbian, Croatian, and English editions.

News and notes: Commons Picture of the Year—winners announced

Results for the two-stage 2013 Commons Picture of the Year have been announced. This year's winning photograph (above) shows a lightbulb that has been cracked, allowing inert gas to escape—and oxygen to enter, so that the tungsten filament burns. From the flames rise elegant curls of blue smoke.

Featured content: Winter hath a beauty that is all his own

Four articles, two lists, and twelve pictures were promoted to "featured" status on the English Wikipedia this week.

Op-ed: Why we're updating the default typography for Wikipedia

On 3 April, we will roll out some changes to the typography of Wikipedia's default Vector skin, to increase readability for users on all devices and platforms. After five months of testing, four major iterations, and through close collaboration with the global Wikimedia community, who provided more than 100 threads of feedback, we’ve arrived at a solution which improves the primary reading and editing experience for all users.

Technology report: Why will Wikipedia look like the Signpost?

As you have probably read on this weeks op-ed, or via various other channels of announcement, 3 April will see the introduction of the Typography refresh (or update) for the Vector skin on all Wikipedias. Other projects like Commons will have this update rolled out a few days prior.

WikiProject report: From the peak

This week, the Signpost interviewed the English Wikipedia's Mountains WikiProject.

In case you are looking for some articles to create ....

I know you area Philly basketball guy. There are still a few articles needed to complete all of the winners of the Robert V.

2014 Final Four category

EDDY - You can't apply this category until players have appeared in a Final Four game. They could get hurt, suspended, or just not play for some reason next weekend. This category shouldn't be applied to anyone until the games start next week. Rikster2 (talk) 05:31, 30 March 2014 (UTC)
