Thank you for improving article quality in March! -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 23:16, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Nice to see you around. I'm probably gonna take a break for a while (say a month) to focus on getting IRL life sorted before summer break. Sohom (talk) 17:47, 22 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

WikiCup 2025 May newsletter

[edit]

The second round of the 2025 WikiCup ended on 28 April at 23:59 UTC. To reiterate what we said in the previous newsletter, we are no longer disqualifying contestants based on how many points (now known as round points) they received. Instead, the contestants with the highest round-point totals now receive tournament points at the end of each round. These tournament points are carried over between rounds, and can only be earned if a competitor is among the top 16 round-point scorers at the end of each round. This table shows all competitors who have received tournament points so far. Everyone who competed in round 2 will advance to round 3 unless they have withdrawn or been banned.

Round 2 was quite competitive. Four contestants scored more than 1,000 round points, and eight scored more than 500 points (including one who has withdrawn). The following competitors scored at least 800 points:

In addition, we would like to recognize Generalissima (submissions) for her efforts; she scored 801 round points but withdrew before the end of the round.

The full scores for round 2 can be seen here. During this round, contestants have claimed 13 featured articles, 20 featured lists, 4 featured-topic articles, 138 good articles, 7 good-topic articles, and more than 100 Did You Know articles. In addition, competitors have worked on 19 In the News articles, and they have conducted nearly 300 reviews.

Remember that any content promoted after 28 April but before the start of Round 3 can be claimed in Round 3. 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, feel free to review one of the nominations listed on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges 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 Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

About your userboxes

[edit]

Hi Sodium—hope all is well :) As the guy who started the RfC for WP:STICKYDECO, the intention was not to allow opting-out of CSS float, but things which "float" on top of content (I'm glad that class was renamed to avoid confusion).

The intention was to hide the stuff which follows you down the screen as you scroll. You are, of course, welcome to curate your page as you wish, but I would be very surprised if someone complained about your userboxes being visible. Best, HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 02:52, 3 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@HouseBlaster, I initially wanted to hide the {{Special:Impact}} template using WP:STICKYDECO since it leads to a fair bit of FOUC when the page is loaded. (There is a fair bit of the page jumping around which might become a issue for some folks) However, if I specifically remove only that, the userpage looks really unbalanced, (with the userbox extending beyond the content), necessitating the removal of the userboxes to make the page more balanced.
This is more a bandaid fix, the correct fix would be figure out how Special:Impact works and remove the initial scaffolding FOUC on loading the page. (Which I intend to get to at some point 😃) Sohom (talk) 14:44, 3 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Actually I fixed it with a bit of CSS, and the sticky-deco tags have been removed! Sohom (talk) 14:56, 3 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. You can remove the drafts, because they're not even auto-confirmed and anonim people will just create vandalism pages in the drafts, and even if they don't create a page about the article, they'll write vandalism in the drafts and no one will check it.

You are free to edit other pages, shit posting on your own talk pages is not productive to Wikipedia, you can start a blog or something to do whatever you are doing on Wikipedia at the moment. Sohom (talk) 19:52, 10 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
What do you mean crap posting? 199.192.122.199 (talk) 19:59, 10 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nothing on that talk page is related in any way to encyclopedic work. That is Wikipedia's primary intent, not to be a forum. (Again, a small bit of fun is fine, but a talk page filled with nothing related your own musings is toeing the line). Sohom (talk) 20:07, 10 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Where did I even cross the line? I was tryna get internet screamer it’s own page! 199.192.122.199 (talk) 20:31, 10 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Again, the only page you cannot edit at the moment is your own talk page, you should be able to edit other articles, to add sources or such similar encyclopedic tasks. Feel free to improve other articles or write a reliably sourced draft for Internet screamer if you can find all the sources. Posting on your own talk page about whatever that is does not help us much. Sohom (talk) 20:54, 10 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

abracadabra_LA

[edit]

Why did you delete the draft I was working on and asking for help with. This is really not helpful and not in the spirit of sharing information with the world? I am first time writer/editor and am trying to ge things correct and this is a very heavy handed move that prevents important information being shared with the public HHSILVER (talk) 15:24, 15 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@HHSILVER, Your page was clearly advertising and eulogizing a specific entity. Per our policy, we do not allow any form of advertising on Wikipedia. Please survey this page before creating more articles. Sohom (talk) 15:32, 15 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
This page was the opposite of the advertising. There is no product. There is nothing for sale. It is also the opposite of eulogizing . Eulogizing refers to death and this project is about restoring life. Also and very specifically there is also no entity. So politely you are incorrect on all 3 counts. This page describes an important historical opportunity for the city. I am fine to fine tune this until it meets community standards and this is my first time posting to Wiki but this is not helpful. Can you please restore the draft that I spend hours working on so I can copy it and also continue working on it. Thank you, Harris HHSILVER (talk) 15:40, 15 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@HHSILVER, Promotion does not necessarily have to lead to a sale or have a product attached to it. Promoting a idea or opportunity (as you said in your own words) is still promotion. Also, in this context, eulogizing refers to the act of talking about a entity in superlative terms, which your writing did do. To quote your own writing, Abracadabra_La is a vessel for manifesting a desirable urban vision for Los Angeles, this is clearly promotion, cut and dry.
Regarding returning your draft, I first need confirmation that you do understand our policies on promotional material (linked above) AND the fact that you have read through and complied with the conflict of interest disclosure policies outlined in the last message Theroadislong left you. Once you have done so, can I consider returning the draft. (Though honestly, looking further the draft needs to be completely rewritten from scratch anyway to fit into our policies, I would encourage you to do that instead of asking for it back) Sohom (talk) 15:58, 15 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, You used the word advertising not promotion when you first wrote and what I responded to. Also this is not promotion. It's my attempt to accurately provide information about an important civic proposal at a historical time for Los Angeles.
What you say is cut and dry is also not as I quote Michael Sorkin's definition of desirability which is an urbanist theory and that seems to have been misunderstood.
I would like the draft so I can at least copy it and place it outside of wiki.
I didn't realize that people who aren't subject matter experts are able to delete my work.
Again I am new to this but I find this to be not productive.
Can you please restore my draft without your opinion of why it needs to be completely re-written which is not my writing process and also not productive or collegial.
Thank you, --Harris HHSILVER (talk) 16:15, 15 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@HHSILVER I quote Michael Sorkin, I quoted the first sentence of your draft, which does not quote anyone. Wikipedia articles are meant to be objective and not use flowery/eulogizing/promotional language.
Regarding the rest, please actually read my message above, the conditions for providing you with a copy of the text are simple, actually read through our policies that you have disregarded and show that you are committing to following them going forward. If you do not do that, there is really no point of this exchange happening. Regarding the comment about "experts", I would add Wikipedia:Expert editors to your reading list, TLDR, Wikipedia does not treat edits by experts in a particular topic as "special", rather you are treated as a regular editor alongside everyone else. Sohom (talk) 16:54, 15 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I'm just reading this now. This is so unnecessary unfriendly and unhelpful and accusatory. I actually quote the urban theory of the desireablt. This is an unkown but relevant academic theory. Instead of discussing ideas we are discussing style in an orthographic sense. My writing is never flowery, or promotional. While that may be tool to dismiss the writing it's not accurate statement. Nor was the text that came up that said my writing was generated by Large Language Model. HHSILVER (talk) 00:07, 16 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@HHSILVER All I wanted was an affirmation that you would follow have followed our policies going forward if I did restore the page. I am not accusing you of anything here, I was stating that to me the writing was advertising oriented (and explaining why it seemed that way). In any case, that is water under the bridge. Draft:Abracadabra LA is a good step in the right direction of trying to follow our policies and writing in a tone that is inline with the way Wikipedia tends to represent things. Sohom (talk) 00:59, 16 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
words have meanings. Advertising has a very specific meaning. My writing is the opposite of advertising. Between this and being (falsely) accused of using large language models it's impossible to address what I have been asked to address. I get that my style isn't dialed in. But the information was interesting relevant and addition to human culture and it was just knee capped thoughtlessly. HHSILVER (talk) 01:29, 16 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Draft Abracadabra LA

[edit]

Hi,

I'm new to Wikipedia writing. I was working on a draft that someone told me you deleted. I don't have another copy of it. Can you please undelete it so I can make a copy of work and keep it off line. Thank you. I'm trying to find my seal legs here but feel that everyone is cutting them off. I had no idea that my work in draft form could be deleted. again thank you. --Harris HHSILVER (talk) 17:42, 15 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I've copied the content to https://pastebin.com/dwyvzeys purely so that you can reffer to it offwiki, I am not restoring it onwiki. Sohom (talk) 18:13, 15 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. This is really been horrific experience. This is my first wiki so there is a learning curve for me but this is not collegial. My sense is that there may be some style issues but no one actually contemplated the project that I was writing anbiur about and it’s cultural implications in this historic moment in the city. The accusations of it being written by a large language model, and that its advertising are also ridiculous. I can work on my encyclopedia style but the editors seem happier to chop something down than to help a writer contribute. Again thanks for giving me access to my work. I think this is the first time I’ve ever had my work taken from me and it was really off putting. I expected help and some back and forth not a delete of an important urban project based on nonsense that it had been written by ai when I never use ai for any writing ever.

AFC submission changes

[edit]

Uh... what are you tracking with all of your changes to {{AfC submission}} and its subpages? (please do not ping on reply) Primefac (talk) 21:46, 17 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The idea was to check for cases where {{Afc submission}} was used in the format |ts=21:50, 17 May 2025 (UTC), which (a) breaks the template and (b) appears to be somewhat popular due to the proliferation of AI writing drafts. Sohom (talk) 21:50, 17 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think my current logic is there yet, and I did not test it for all cases :( Sohom (talk) 21:51, 17 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Are there any malformed |ts= uses? I feel like Category:AfC pending submissions by age would show pages in the "without an age" subcat if things weren't reading right. Primefac (talk) 00:28, 18 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know if there is one currently around. The uses typically look like [2], based on the categories there the empty date category does not get included in that case. Sohom (talk) 00:34, 18 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on Category:Malformed AFC submissions indicating that it is currently empty, and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion. If it remains empty for seven days or more, it may be deleted under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and removing the speedy deletion tag. Liz Read! Talk! 21:48, 17 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion review for List of birds of Lakshadweep

[edit]

An editor has asked for a deletion review of List of birds of Lakshadweep. Because you closed the deletion discussion for this page, speedily deleted it, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the deletion review. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 23:31, 23 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Responded and restored. Sohom (talk) 01:26, 24 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Please consider editing that closing statement?
Newer users are often reluctant to approach the sysop who deleted their content, because they see that sysop as a hostile authority figure. DRV's rules do specifically allow users to come directly to DRV if they don't want to speak to the deleter.
In the circumstances, I think putting criticism of that user in a box that they aren't supposed to edit or reply to is not very fair.—S Marshall T/C 08:32, 24 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
cc @S Marshall, my closing comments there were very much in a "please do these things next time" tone rather than anything else more combative and I think it is clear that my restoration was unconditional and I bear no ill will here.
While, I do understand that DRV rules allow a user come straight to the forum that is not how I, you or in most cases other new editors would have typically handled such a disagreement. As a non-admin, my first instinct would have been a simple "Hey, so and so page is actually a copy of a different page" which would have probably resulted in the restoration and is less work than a WP:DRV (and that was basically what I said in the closing statement).
cc @Mitsingh feel free to use this section to reply to my closing statement on DRV if you want, or ask any questions you might have regarding it (or any other aspect of Wikipedia). If you do feel that the feedback given was unfair and should be removed, I will strike it. Sohom (talk) 15:11, 24 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Re: CSS fingerprinting

[edit]
Mass Surveillance Barnstar
This is a good article, and it's a pretty important topic for browser tracking that I heard of for the first time, and probably a good few more people will hear about for the first time, in this article. Anyway, it was an interesting read. So, I'd like to award you the Mass Surveillance barnstar, from WikiProject Mass Surveillance. As I just had the idea after seeing the CSS fingerprinting article, you're its first recipient. Mrfoogles (talk) 17:14, 25 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you! Nice to know you liked the article, it was a super interesting rabbit hole to dive into. I'm looking at improving a bunch of web privacy articles (like say Zombie cookie) over the next few weeks/months. :) Sohom (talk) 04:42, 26 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Really doesn't matter. Article on Wikipedia need to be articles, not placeholders. Also this literally isn't a race. Sohom (talk) 02:36, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
