Hello. I noticed your request for a coach over at ], and I'm available. If you do not currently have an admin coach, I would be glad to be your coach. I do have a few of conditions though, and they are that you:


# watch your coaching page closely, and reply to ''every'' post there in a timely fashion
# fill in ''all'' of your edit summaries (if you find yourself forgetting, there's a setting in "my preferences" that will remind you)
# complete all the assignments you are given to the best of your ability. If you have trouble with an assignment, by all means, let me know, so we can discuss possible solutions and alternatives.
# don't go for your RfA or accept an RfA nomination except from me - I will nominate you when I believe you are ready


{| style="width:100%; padding:2px;" class="TAFI-weekly"
Please let me know if you agree, and we can get started.

Hey, doing that requested reassessment, I was surprised how developed that article already is. The last time I saw it, it looked rather bare-bones. Anyway, as you mentioned a possible FLC, I thought I'd make you aware of a few things, just in case you aren't already aware of them. So far no list using the gnr/gnn referencing style has gone through FLC. It was introduced to the ''Naruto'' list after its promotion. Also, the guy who created/designed the templates/referencing style (that would be me) isn't quite happy with it yet himself. Lastly, having spent considerable time at FLC, I wouldn't be surprised if it turned out, let's say, controversial. FLC reviewers do have a tendency for nitpicking. Well, just thought you should know. <tt>'''<font style="color:#2E2E2E">]</font><font style="color:#2E2E2E">]</font>'''</tt> 04:18, 16 May 2012 (UTC)

:I think the '''WikiProject Anime and manga''' team need to get used to and accept gnn/gnr as it's extremely useful for directly sourcing material, which is what the Fairy Tail characters list was originally tagged for lack of citations, and like Goodraise said, gnn/gnr has already been implemented on FLC Naruto and One Piece. Does that mean those articles should be demoted? Otherwise we'd have to go back to the huge list of references like ]. ] (]) 18:37, 16 May 2012 (UTC)

==Your suggestion==
Hello S. I knew there was a message that I had been meaning to leave for you and seeing your name on my watchlist jogged my memory. In regards to your suggestion here ] about filing an abuse report I would say that anything that might help in this situation is worth trying. You've seen how big the list is that we are working on. Also I keep seeing your name in the edit histories as having reverted the Brazilian menaces edits at the time they were made so you know how long this vandal has been operating. In many ways these edits are worse than the usual vandalism of adding the word "poop" and such. I have no idea what is involved in filing that kind of report but I will offer my full support should you wish to do so. Thanks for all that you have done/are doing/will do in this and in all your other editing. ] | ] 04:34, 20 May 2012 (UTC)

Hi Sjones23,


I've noticed that you've started trimming the plot outline section for '']'' down to keep it within the 700 words allowed by ].

== This week's ] (week 46, 2024) ==
I feel that the problem with this edit is that it gives no reason for Gordon's decision not to reveal the cover-up of Dent's crimes, and makes things a little too ambiguous.


Yes, I know that FILMPLOT is only a guideline. Just because it allows for 700 words, that doesn't mean that a plot outline should be 700 words. However, ''The Dark Knight Rises'' is a very complex film, and it was difficult enough to write a first draft that covered the important points whilst staying within 700 words (in the end, I wrote it backwards, starting with the end). Like I said, I think that any futher trimming down of the article will only make things ambiguous, and hurt the article in the long run. ] (]) 10:35, 20 July 2012 (UTC)
:That makes sense. By the way, I think we should add a release section to the article since we have a source for the NYC world premiere of the film. ] ] (] - ]) 10:38, 20 July 2012 (UTC)
::Go for it, if you think it's justified. Maybe merge the Colorado theatre shooting section into it. I don't really know; I don't contribute to film pages that often, and when I do, I tend to work mostly on the recaps of the plot and occasionally characters. ] (]) 10:52, 20 July 2012 (UTC)

We're approaching the beginning of 2012's final round. Pool A sees {{Misplaced Pages:WikiCup/Participant3|Cwmhiraeth}} as the leader, with 300 points being awarded for the featured article ], and Pool B sees {{Misplaced Pages:WikiCup/Participant3|Grapple X}} in the lead, with 10 good articles, and over 35 articles eligible for good topic points. Pool A sees {{Misplaced Pages:WikiCup/Participant3|Muboshgu}} in second place with a number of articles relating to baseball, while Pool B's {{Misplaced Pages:WikiCup/Participant3|Ruby2010}} follows Grapple X, with a variety of contributions including the high-scoring, high-importance featured article on the 2010 film '']''. Ruby2010, like Grapple X, also claimed a number of good topic points; despite this, not a single point has been claimed for featured topics in the contest so far. The same is true for featured portals.


{| style="width:100%; padding:2px;" class="TAFI-weekly"
Currently, the eighth-place competitor (and so the lowest scorer who would reach the final round right now) has scored 332, more than double the 150 needed to reach the final round last year. In 2010, however, 430 was the lowest qualifying score. In this competition, we have generally seen scores closer to those in 2010 than those in 2011. Let's see what kind of benchmark we can set for future competitions! As ever, 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 ].

== Banning Policy RfC ==


{| style="width:100%; padding:2px;" class="TAFI-weekly"
Hello, Sjones23! I'm afraid there's some confusion as to the wording of your RfC. I watched what happened at the policy page and then saw you open the thing, so I knew immediately what it was about. But it is vaguely worded with no link to the attempted policy change, and one editor has interpreted the RfC to basically mean "Should we ban every indeffed editor?" I think you should read the latest commentary there and expand the proposal more concisely, preferably with a link to the change that started it. Cheers :> ] ] 05:56, 5 August 2012 (UTC)

== RE: RfC Question ==


Please be bold and help improve it!
As you may have seen from my commment, I too, am starting to fear that we're not going to find a consensus on things. I think it could be good to mention at WP:VG. At first I thought it would be redundant to what we had already discussed there, but we had only mentioned the fact that we were going to try to come up with a "WP:NVGCHAR" of sorts, we didn't really discuss the "Top X List" part in particular. So yeah, it may be helpful alert WP:VG on it. Let me know if you'd prefer me or you to say something. ] ] 15:22, 14 August 2012 (UTC)
----
:Thanks for alerting all those groups. So, a thought has come across my mind, although I admit it may be too late, but I figured I'd throw it out there. It seems like in the past when I've been part of RfC's, usually there's a bunch of preset options to pick from. Something like:
Previous selections: {{Misplaced Pages:Articles for improvement/2024/50/1}}&nbsp;&bull; {{Misplaced Pages:Articles for improvement/2024/49/1}}
#'''Support''' - Any RS lists are useable to establish notability.
----
#'''Support Conditionally''' - Only useable if significant detail, and consensus in favor of using it.
Get involved with the AFI project: ]{{•}} ]
#'''Oppose''' - Lists are never acceptable to establish notability.
----
Maybe some other ones, if you could think of any. Anyways, the reason I bring it up is, because I think people are seeing the RfC as a little more "black and white" than it may be. In particular, it seems like there's been a few people explain very similar rationales, but end up summarizing their stances on opposite sides. Even myself, who put down "Support", falls much more into the "Support Conditionally" category much more so. However, the RfC has been going on for a while already, so it may be too late, or difficult, to adjust the approach now. Thoughts? Or should I copy/paste these thoughts at the discussion page too? ] ] 13:44, 15 August 2012 (UTC)

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!
