The Signpost: 31 August 2022

jimmy@wikipedia.org donate@wikimedia.org (not a typo?) wants a moment of your time.
Why the 'Festival Edition' was less than perfect, and what we can do better.
But Annie Rauwerda is the real thing!
2022 elections, new page patrol, Fox News, Vector 2022, Royal Central and external links
Change and stability.
All there is to know about userboxen.
Sometimes Citation bot is not enough.
Plus, the Private Incident Reporting System, and new bots & user scripts!
One exterior, one interior.
Also includes a campaign to "Suck for Luck".
And other new research
Because there really is no real theme this month you can grab onto to give a catchy title.
Some articles aren't worth saving
Edinburgh in August.
Because the Signpost needs a cartoon.
The Signpost looks back on The Signpost: New reports, conceived in a spirit of collaboration, and dedicated to the proposition of information and, uh, more information for all.

Notables in lists need both articles and sources

This edit to the article for Riverside Township, New Jersey was reverted. Despite the reliable / verifiable sources establishing a connection here, he has no independent Wikipedia article, nor does he appear likely to do so. You cited WP:DDD as your justification for reinserting him, but this does not apply; this is a full-fledged Wikipedia article, not a disambiguation page.

Happy First Edit Day!

Alphabetization

On a couple of talks pages for categories, you alphabetized the Wikiproject banners. This might be personal preference for you to do that, but it's unnecessary. I alphabetize stuff, but in this case, it's redundant. Mr. C.C.Hey yo!I didn't do it! 17:42, 20 September 2022 (UTC)

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Laurence Naismith as Mr Traill.jpeg

Thank you for uploading File:Laurence Naismith as Mr Traill.jpeg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator seven days after the file was tagged in accordance with section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. --Animalparty! (talk) 07:28, 25 September 2022 (UTC)

Hello, Sahaib. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "List of Scottish Nobel laureates".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. If you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz Read! Talk! 20:35, 30 September 2022 (UTC)

Notice

The article The lettuce has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

"The lettuce" could refer to any lettuce, or even lettuce in general. No indication that the Truss resignation lettuce is the primary topic for this.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
