Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Wyalusing, Pennsylvania, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Towanda Township. 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. It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions.

Hi,
I've seen the edit history and you have reverted all my edits on the 'Conquest of Mecca' page. Can you elaborate? Occupation is more of a recent term for disputed territories (mostly). Besides, I visited this page back in 2013 (i saved it on my PC) and at that time, it was 'Conquest' and not 'Occupied'

Wished we had more WP editors like YOU, deserving many barn-stars
editJoe - This is to truly THANK YOU (see below). To get going after the recent turmoil, I have updated and submitted "neovandalism" project as final for review, assuming it will eventually be deleted, and happy to accept any outcome, and added the note: "This project was discussed heavily both now and 3 years ago. I agree it is a highly controversial topic and may be perceived with high level of sensitivity, and understand that it is high risk for deletion, and I am happy to accept the outcome trusting the judgement by balanced and fair editors such as C.Fred and JoeSperrazza. Thank you for the opportunity.". I am still working on the BO-diabetes project and have already revised it rather extensively and will try to prove its notability and exceptional significance in a few days and will submit. I wished more WP editors were like you, Joe and Fred, and thanks. S.Burntout123 (talk) 20:16, 1 February 2015 (UTC)

Hi, Joe. You reverted my edit to Julian calendar. I'm not sure what the problem is here. Do you dispute that the Catholic Church is wrong to claim that if the epact is 25 and the Sunday Letter is C then Easter falls on 25 April? See Computus#Tabular methods where it is clearly stated that on epact 25 the paschal full moon falls on 17 April. Somewhere in that article it will state that Easter falls on the Sunday following the date of the paschal full moon, and if the paschal full moon falls on a Sunday Easter is the Sunday after. So the latest Easter can fall is when the paschal full moon falls on a Sunday. If the paschal full moon is Sunday, 17 April Easter is 24 April. Epact 25 cannot produce a 25 April Easter. 156.61.250.250 (talk) 15:31, 27 February 2015 (UTC)

In appreciation of your vigilance and concern for the treatment of Wikipedia editors/users! Iryna Harpy (talk) 23:38, 14 March 2015 (UTC) |
Hi, JoeSperrazza. I truly appreciate your removal of the vitriolic personal attack on my own talk, but I don't delete comments there as I prefer to have them archived for future reference should there be an incidence in the future where it may be useful to retain instances of language usage, and any other tell-tale signs that the same user has returned (should there be need of an SPI, for example).
I am, however, very grateful for your concern and decency, and am more than happy for you to revert vandalism to my actual user page. Cheers for your considerate removal of the offensive comment. I'm sure that a lot of editors (particularly newcomers) would be happy to know that an experienced editor is looking out for them. --Iryna Harpy (talk) 23:41, 14 March 2015 (UTC)

Firstly, I'd ask you to raise any copyright issues with me directly rather than forcing myself and other contributors to argue the merits of the track in various places. Flightradar24 says in their press section "Screenshots from Flightradar24.com or any of the Flightradar24 apps may be used for free by media if screenshots are attributed to Flightradar24. Websites publishing screenshots must link to Flightradar24.com." The use of GPS data is no different here than in Malaysia Airlines 370, which FlighRadar24 explicitly gives permission to use. AHeenen states "Since the location of the aircraft is a fact, not a creative work, and the map traced purports to show the path that Flight 370 traveled based on primary & secondary radar, the flight path is not subject to copyright" I'll add a similar copyright justification. Additionally, FlightAware, which I checked the flightradar24 data against in an unpublished graph, has a second set of GPS co-ordinates, and state "Accredited news outlets and members of the media may reproduce or redistribute FlightAware content... contingent that FlightAware is cited..." BEA permits their photos to be used copyright-free with attribution - the same will happen for charts when they have a full report. These images will be replaced when BEA puts out their final report. -- Aronzak (talk) 16:10, 27 March 2015 (UTC) Further to this, look at the stats for the number three story on ITN. I don't take kindly to placing tags on files seen by 166,000 people a day. I've killed the tag because the admin says he's happy for his file to be used, and spent an hour talking with a CNN journalist about it. There is no copyvio. In future, I must stress that you should understand that it is likely to be perceived as insulting if you add a tag to a file viewed by 166,000 people a day, in a way that is likely to be perceived as a false attack on the competence or intelligence of the person who produced it Please do not re-add the tag.-- Aronzak (talk) 18:11, 27 March 2015 (UTC)

Joe, looks like there's a consensus to keep the image Wikipedia:Files for deletion/2015 March 27. c1cada, B, and Nyttend all support keeping the image. The image has evidence of the two it is based on, and there's evidence provided that the company wants information about major flight losses released to the media.

Mr. Sperrazza, I had left you a message about my recent posting. And, yes I did notice it was removed and I re-entered it the second time (repost) because I didn't think I saved it properly. The second entry was in a different sub heading. Therefore, after all that I will not violate the policy of Wikipedia and I will not reattempt to post it again. My original message was to explain that my entries were accurate and that the claim that parts of a body were discovered and the fact that the MK-82 bombs were never found led me to the belief my evidence was appropriate and timely since the recent announcement to prolong the retirement of the A-10 Attack Jet program. I cannot produce a third party reliable source to the already stack of news coverage. I am the source. <name redacted> |

Hello. You're clearly not aware that WP:Persondata has been deprecated, so we shouldn't now be adding it to articles. The relevant RfC is HERE.

Hi, I didn't know about persondata being deprecated. I certainly won't add henceforth. I do wish AWB had been updated such that it would not be added, but I'll ensure not to do so henceforth.

style query: ten minute → ten-minute
editHi Joe,
Looking at your recent revision of the page Be-Bop Deluxe... I wasn't sure whether your talk page was the right place to post, but I've posted here because I think this is probably more an issue of style than of content.
Firstly, thanks for cleaning up some references I've put in, great improvement.
Secondly, I've a query about another change you've made in the same edit.
Quote:
Latest revision as of 00:25, 15 June 2015: ten minute → ten-minute, 40 year → 40-year
I don't understand why you've added in the hyphens - I don't believe they should be there. Please explain why you believe they're needed. I'd like to know your reasons.
(I'm not going to hit undo as that would lose the cleaning up of references you did, which is an improvement. But my gut feeling is, take these two hyphens out.)
Thanks,
Alterations (talk) 01:09, 17 June 2015 (UTC)
- Hi, thanks for the very nice note. See http://www.grammarbook.com/punctuation/hyphen, rule 4:
Rule 4. Hyphens are often used to tell the ages of people and things. A handy rule, whether writing about years, months, or any other period of time, is to use hyphens unless the period of time (years, months, weeks, days) is written in plural form
- This seems to apply to the examples given. These rules are just one of many documented at Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser/Typos JoeSperrazza (talk) 01:35, 17 June 2015 (UTC)
Hi again Joe, thanks for this.
I stand corrected; one lives and learns.
I subsequently spotted another 40 year you missed, in the discography; have now hyphenated that too.
Bots
edit
You are receiving this message because a technical change may affect a bot, gadget, or user script you have been using. The breaking change involves API calls. This change has been planned for two years. The WMF will start making this change on 30 June 2015. A partial list of affected bots can be seen here: https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2015-June/081931.html This includes all bots that are using pywikibot compat. Some of these bots have already been fixed. However, if you write user scripts or operate a bot that uses the API, then you should check your code, to make sure that it will not break.
What, exactly, is breaking? The "default continuation mode" for action=query requests to api.php will be changing to be easier for new coders to use correctly. To find out whether your script or bot may be affected, then search the source code (including any frameworks or libraries) for the string "query-continue". If that is not present, then the script or bot is not affected. In a few cases, the code will be present but not used. In that case, the script or bot will continue working.
This change will be part of 1.26wmf12. It will be deployed to test wikis (including mediawiki.org) on 30 June, to non-Wikipedias (such as Wiktionary) on 1 July, and to all Wikipedias on 2 July 2015.
If your bot or script is receiving the warning about this upcoming change (as seen at https://www.mediawiki.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=allpages ), it's time to fix your code!
- The simple solution is to simply include the "rawcontinue" parameter with your request to continue receiving the raw continuation data (example <https://www.mediawiki.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=allpages&rawcontinue=1>). No other code changes should be necessary.
- Or you could update your code to use the simplified continuation documented at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Query#Continuing_queries (example <https://www.mediawiki.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=allpages&continue=>), which is much easier for clients to implement correctly.
Either of the above solutions may be tested immediately, you'll know it works because you stop seeing the warning.
Do you need help with your own bot or script? Ask questions in e-mail on the mediawiki-api or wikitech-l mailing lists. Volunteers at m:Tech or w:en:WP:Village pump (technical) or w:en:Wikipedia:Bot owners' noticeboard may also be able to help you.
Are you using someone else's gadgets or user scripts? Most scripts are not affected. To find out if a script you use needs to be updated, then post a note at the discussion page for the gadget or the talk page of the user who originally made the script.

Painting in Naples
editNo, I think that's just a repost of the very same Wikipedia article. There's really no source for it that I can find. The sentence was added in 2008 by an IP out of Fort Myers, Florida. Maybe just a bit of boosterism there. JohnInDC (talk) 16:27, 23 June 2015 (UTC)
- I thought that might be the case, but didn't check the timestamps. I thought it might be the reverse. On a related note, I'm not too pleased to have WP:HOUND thrown around, but the editor's talk page is the wrong place to discuss (if at all). I reiterate my "I'm fed up" comment from earlier on my talk page. But I do thank you for trying to do the right thing. You, I and the 33 IP, along with others (e.g., RFD) have all been working to improve the articles and find a way to suggest, plead, cajole, and almost beg the editor to improve. Having only looked at their last 500 or so edits, I can't say how far back the problem goes, but I'm concerned it goes back farther than the beginning of May. Hopefully, editors who routinely work in that area will have some time to look and fix things. I had thought we could get improvements on the new stubs being created, but I've lost hope. I don't pretend to understand other's motivations, nor why accusations of bad faith are being thrown at us (which are themselves in bad faith). Simultaneously we're trying to fix things, explain things, and debate other editors who seem to be, sometimes, shooting from the hip (inasmuch as some, clearly, have not read the links to the things on which they comment). As I said, when you add to that the general incivility of some editors and the constant barrage of socks, I am fed up. JoeSperrazza (talk) 17:03, 23 June 2015 (UTC)
- Oh, don't let it get to you! My experience on the whole is that the community susses out problem editors sooner or later. Like you I am a bit mystified in this instance - the problem seems so abundantly clear, and the editor so determinedly clueless, that meaningful improvement seems like a pipe dream. And it's not like my concerns were shouted down in ANI - there were lots of folks calling for an indef block. So yeah, I'm frustrated too, but figure either 1) I've pegged it right, in which case eventually the right thing will happen; or 2) I'm wrong and things will be fine. The third option - I'm right and everyone is is wrong and the encylopedia will suffer as a result - well, I encounter it so infrequently that I'm willing to wait a bit longer to see how it sorts out. The intimations of bad faith (from real editors as opposed to vandals and sock puppets) are kind of unfamiliar and unwelcome territory for me but there too I figure the best way to show it is to acquiesce for a while. If the problem persists in a real way, it will be easy to revisit. And if not, then we were statesmanlike. Win-win, eh? JohnInDC (talk) 17:46, 23 June 2015 (UTC)
- Well said, my new found friend, and thanks for making me laugh. I have decided I'm done with editing on any of those topics, and am going to clear them from my watchlist. Certainly I agree that it is either 1) or 2). I am surprised and disappointed that other editors (none newbies, some with considerable tenure) chose to respond they way they did on an obviously troubled (I don't mean that on a personal basis, just regarding their contributions) editor's talk page. It turned into the kind of drama-fests that make me avoid WP:ANI whenever I can. Hopefully, IP 33 can continue to chip away at fixing new contributions of that editor. As for the old ones, well, they'll either come to light some day and be fixed, or they won't. Thanks again for the nice note. Best regards, JoeSperrazza (talk) 17:50, 23 June 2015 (UTC)
- Oh, don't let it get to you! My experience on the whole is that the community susses out problem editors sooner or later. Like you I am a bit mystified in this instance - the problem seems so abundantly clear, and the editor so determinedly clueless, that meaningful improvement seems like a pipe dream. And it's not like my concerns were shouted down in ANI - there were lots of folks calling for an indef block. So yeah, I'm frustrated too, but figure either 1) I've pegged it right, in which case eventually the right thing will happen; or 2) I'm wrong and things will be fine. The third option - I'm right and everyone is is wrong and the encylopedia will suffer as a result - well, I encounter it so infrequently that I'm willing to wait a bit longer to see how it sorts out. The intimations of bad faith (from real editors as opposed to vandals and sock puppets) are kind of unfamiliar and unwelcome territory for me but there too I figure the best way to show it is to acquiesce for a while. If the problem persists in a real way, it will be easy to revisit. And if not, then we were statesmanlike. Win-win, eh? JohnInDC (talk) 17:46, 23 June 2015 (UTC)
A minor update. I was a day or so away from dropping you a note to observe that the problematic edits had ended, and suggesting that perhaps we had, in fact, been overzealous. Today however brought this edit to Eau Claire, Wisconsin, removing a comprehensive list of churches (including a synagogue and LDS Temple) as unsourced, and substituting a sourced / wikilinked list describing 5 Christian denominations in town. The longer list was unsourced, but the effort that went into building the list of major Christian churches could have as easily been directed toward filling in sources for the others, rather than deleting it wholesale. (I found sources for four or five of the more obscure ones as an easy starter.) I learned my lesson with the Naples painting here, which is that if she makes what looks like a biased edit but offers up a technically correct justification, I'm going to fix the bias but make sure the restoration is within WP policies. I plan to continue in that way for the time being. That way the encyclopedia is improved; and, as I said above, if in fact a pattern of biased editing re-emerges, we can raise it again.

cdgames Crewe heritage center
editSorry for editing the page, I recently went to the Crewe heritage center and asked about the class 87. They told me that the traction motors had been robbed last year and vandalized the whole train that is very sad. I thought it would be a good idea to put this on the wiki to tell people that the train was hopeless of ever working again. I would really appreciate if you included this in the wiki to let people know the current condition of class 87035. Sorry for taking so long to reply and i hope you can make these changes if you don't that is fine by me.
Thanks cdgames — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cdgames (talk • contribs) 12:56, 26 June 2015 (UTC)
- Hi, @Cdgames:, and thanks for the note. I see the edit to which you refer [6]. Can you help find a reference to this in the news or something? If so, as I now understand it, it sounds like it may be a worthwhile addition to the article. Thanks again for getting in touch with me. Best regards, JoeSperrazza (talk) 13:41, 26 June 2015 (UTC)
Hello again I have been to the heritage centre recently and I have confirmed that the traction motors have robbed but only a few parts not the whole traction motor also other electrical parts. Apparently the throttle of the traction motors was stolen and sadly they as well said that 87035 has no chance of working ever again. I could not find anything on the news or around the internet about it only the staff know. Anyway I hope this is enough info to add this careless and sad robbery to the page.

- Hi, @Cambite01:. I believe you received an answer at User_talk:I_dream_of_horses#Orphan_Page regarding Navaneeth Unnikrishnan, but I'll elaborate:
- Don't be overly concerned about an orphan tag. It is there to let editors know that, at the moment, other articles in WP don't link to that article.
- To find relevant articles in which to add a link to Navaneeth Unnikrishnan, consider looking at linked articles. Example: Perhaps add him to Thalassery#Notable_residents.

Gregorian calendar#Months of the year - numerical method text uses unreliable source
editI removed this text from Gregorian_calendar#Months_of_the_year:
Numerical methods were described in the ''Journal of the Department of Mathematics,'' Open University, in 1997 and 1998.<ref>Journal of the Department of Mathematics, '''M500''' (ed. A D Forbes) Issue 157 (September 1997) p. 21, Issue 160 (February 1998) pp. 19 - 20 (contains typographical errors), and Issue 161 (April 1998) p. 21. The M500 Society, Open University, Milton Keynes, England. ISSN 1350-8539.</ref>
When you look into it, you'll see that the so-called "Journal of the Department of Mathematics" is neither a journal nor a reliable source. Per the publisher, M500 Society it is a collection of WP:SPS. The text also appears to be irresistable for certain London area anonymous editors:
The M500 Society began in 1973 as a self-help group for Open University maths students in Southampton.
In the early days of the OU there was very little contact between students other than at their own tutorial group meetings, which often only took place during the teaching periods of the school or university in which they were held.
Before students had personal computers and the various forms of electronic communication that they now use to communicate with each other and OU staff, the Society compiled and published the names, addresses and current courses of students willing to help other students with their studies. These lists were mailed out with a magazine containing articles, comments, puzzles, reviews and news submitted by members.
Now there are members throughout Britain and in many other countries across the world and, although we no longer publish student contact details, the magazine is still going strong.
The M500 Magazine
This is published free to all M500 members six times a year. It still contains articles, comments, puzzles, reviews and news submitted by members. It is aimed at all levels of mathematical attainment from Foundation to Postgraduate.

Your recent revert.
editPer WP:TPO, closing section created by IP sockpuppet of banned User:Vote (X) for Change |
---|
The following discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it. |
This revert of yours to Prime meridian (Greenwich) where you claim to be reverting a sock under WP:BE should not have been made. First, WP:BE specifically states that you should not revert good faith edits that appear to be constructive. Secondly, the IP address is a dynamic IP address and there is little chance of it still being used by any sock puppeteer who has used it in the past. Third, the nature of the recent edits from this IP address do not match the past edits. London is a very big place and has hundreds of thousands of IP address and just because two editors have London based IP addresses, the liklihood of them being the same person is very low. The position is made worse, because if you perform a geolocate on an IP address, after it has been deassigned, you will get the geolocation of the IP address server and not the person who used it. Now I wonder where the UK's largest ISP keeps its IP address server for the south east of England? And since my router updated its firmware yesterday and rebooted itself, the IP address has probably changed again and is now... 86.145.209.15 (talk) 11:46, 23 August 2015 (UTC) |

editPlease explain the script error that was being caused by the legitimate template you just removed. Then lets fix this so the template can be returned. Trackinfo (talk) 16:25, 27 August 2015 (UTC)
- Sure! I just happened to look at the article, and noticed that it stated "Script Error", in red, at the top of the article, and for every reference (except the first one, oddly). I tried undoing the most recent change (yours, I'm afraid), and the error went away. Your addition seemed perfectly fine, otherwise.
- Following your note, I went and looked at the prior version (i.e., your edit's version), here: [8]. This suggests:
- There was something wrong with {{Footer US NC 1500m Women}} that has suddenly been fixed
- There was something transiently wrong somewhere else that is now fixed (note I did briefly check a random article and didn't see the same script error).
- So, based on the above, I just reverted my revert. Who knows what was wrong before, but there was an error.
- Thanks,

Therefore-comma bot
editMay I politely ask to stop the action of this bot inserting a comma after each "therefore" (at the beginning of a sentence?). This is inappropriate for formulating immediate, logical consequences. I encountered the second occurence of this effect in one day in Jerk (physics), the other was in a logic-page. One could consider this as vandalizing. Regards. Purgy (talk) 17:18, 1 September 2015 (UTC)
Why hate on Thekohser?
editMaybe you and he have something in common, and you could be friends? - 2601:42:C100:9D83:B1BB:193D:AAF6:31A4 (talk) 17:37, 28 September 2015 (UTC)
- Hey, no hate, sorry if you feel that's the thing. Since you asked:
- I'm totally cool with Wiki criticism. I've seen some good things done by you at WO. Sometimes, you do come across in a bad way, but I can't be the first person to mention that to you.
- While I'm firmly in the WP:BMB camp, I know that JimboTalk provides leeway. On-topic, genuine posts (even snarky one's pushing a WO blog entry) are OK. TPO, despite you flogging it at WO, seems pretty off-topic here. YMMV.
- As for Bear Creek Camp Conservation Area, I don't think I've ever been anywhere near it (there's a Bear Creek Lake in CO I've likely been near, as I used to live west of there for many years, so for a moment I was surprised, as I thought you meant that). ISTR you are in the PA area. I did recently finish a multi-month assignment in Central PA, and have some family north and south of Central PA, but my knowledge, let alone experience, in that area is pretty limited.
- Regards, JoeSperrazza (talk) 17:51, 28 September 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks for your thoughtful reply. Sorry, I blindly assumed you were the Joseph Sperrazza from Jenkin Township, PA, but then saw that there are plenty of other individuals named Joe Sperrazza out there. I'm in a pickle as regards Jimbo, because he says publicly that I should maybe "e-mail him", but then he has told me in the past "never e-mail me again". I'm working on a story about TPO that should be fairly interesting, including a segment on one company subcontractor having been presided over by a former FBI suspect in a money laundering sting at a strip club he night-managed. And that happens to dovetail with a "right to be forgotten" situation with a metro newspaper, another item on which Jimmy Wales is regarded as a global expert. But, if Jimbo won't discuss with me, it's difficult to allow him fair response before the story is published. - 2601:42:C100:9D83:95EB:91F:6010:83B4 (talk) 19:01, 28 September 2015 (UTC)
- Regarding Joe Sperrazza's in the world, there are more than one would think. I am believer in full transparency on-wiki (and don't agree with WMF on anonymous editing, but I'm a nobody, so have no traction on this issue). I don't hide who I am, but don't feel the need to publish my address (lol). I used to have a badge on my user page indicating I'm originally from Maryland (I seem to have removed it, as I no longer live there).
- Regarding the situation with Jimbo, I have two thoughts:
- For the article you are writing, you could have your editor (if there is someone in that position for wherever you plan to publish) contact him via email. Not being any more than a life-long reader of newspapers, I can't say what a reasonable timeframe or process would be to wait for a reply before publishing.
- The elephant in the room, of course, is the history between you and Jimbo. I don't need to detail it (I don't know it that well), but, to me, it seems (a) you feel you have been personally wronged, but (b) he feels you are unreasonably obsessed with him, and that your attention makes him uncomfortable. Various people at WP fall in one or the other of those camps. There seems to be information supporting both points of view. Regardless, I think you would accept your approach with respect to Jimbo and WP is considered to be that of a gadfly, i.e., "someone who persistently challenges people in positions of power", with the person in power you most frequently challenge being Jimbo. The challenge for you, I think, is that your observations and criticism are clearly considered by some (if not many in the WP hierarchy of authority) to be tainted and diminished by a personal agenda. Sometimes, your postings to Jimbotalk reinforces that point of view. Even your work on "creative vandalism", which was interesting and did, as I recall, get some press, was surely considered by some to be driven by your conflict with Jimbo and not by any desire to objectively identify and report on a genuine issue within WP.
- I have no clue how to best move forward regarding the second point. I apologize if anything I said, above, was offensive in any way.
- Kindest regards, JoeSperrazza (talk) 20:26, 28 September 2015 (UTC)

Congratulations and welcome to the arbitration clerk team!
editHi JoeSperrazza. We have added you to the list of clerks and subscribed you to the mailing list (info: WP:AC/C#clerks-l). Welcome, and I look forward to working with you! To adjust your subscription options for the mailing list, see the link at mail:clerks-l. The mailing list works in the usual way, and the address to which new mailing list threads can be sent is clerks-l lists.wikimedia.org. Useful reading for new clerks is the procedures page, WP:AC/C/P, but you will learn all the basic components of clerking on-the-job.
New clerks begin as a trainee, are listed as such at WP:AC/C#Personnel, and will remain so until they have learned all the aspects of the job. When you've finished training, which usually takes a couple of/a few months, then we'll propose to the Committee that you be made a full clerk. As a clerk, you'll need to check your e-mail regularly, as the mailing list is where the clerks co-ordinate (on-wiki co-ordination page also exists but is not used nearly as much). If you've any questions at any point of your traineeship, simply post to the mailing list.
Lastly, it might be useful if you enter your timezone into WP:AC/C#Personnel (in the same format as the other members have), so that we can estimate when we will have clerks available each day; this is, of course, at your discretion. Again, welcome! Regards, L235 (t / c / ping in reply) 02:02, 14 October 2015 (UTC)

Invitation to New AI-Labelling Campaign for Newcomer Sessions
editHello, I'm reaching out to you because I saw that you signed up as a labelling volunteer at Wikipedia:Labels/Edit quality. I'm starting a new project that builds on Edit quality, to predict Newcomer quality. That is, to predict the damagingness and goodfaithness of "sessions" (multiple related edits) of users within 1 day of their registration. With this AI trained, we could help automatically distinguish betewen productive and unproductive new users. If you wouldn't mind taking a look at this new labelling campaign and label a few sessions I would be very grateful. In addition if you have any feedback or discover any bugs in the process I would appreciate that too. You can find the project page at Wikipedia:Labels/Newcomer_session_quality or go directly to labels.wmflabs.org/ui/enwiki/ and look for the campaign titled "Newcomer Session quality (2018)". Thanks so much!

2019 US Banknote Contest
editUS Banknote Contest | ||
---|---|---|
November-December 2019 | ||
There are an estimated 30,000 different varieties of United States banknotes, yet only a fraction of these are represented on Wikimedia Commons in the form of 2D scans. Additionally, Colonial America, the Confederate States, the Republic of Texas, multiple states and territories, communities, and private companies have issued banknotes that are in the public domain today but are absent from Commons. In the months of November and December, WikiProject Numismatics will be running a cross-wiki upload-a-thon, the 2019 US Banknote Contest. The goal of the contest is to increase the number of US banknote images available to content creators on all Wikimedia projects. Participants will claim points for uploading and importing 2D scans of US banknotes, and at the end of the contest all will receive awards. Whether you want to claim the Gold Wiki or you just want to have fun, all are invited to participate. If you do not want to receive invitations to future US Banknote Contests, follow the instructions here |
