AfD

Given the content, I don't understand why you reverted me, especially as you didn't add anything discussing the book. So, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/How to Make Your Friends and Murder Your Enemies. Dougweller (talk) 06:27, 23 June 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for letting me know about the AfD. I thought that I had added a source, but am only just now adding one. Sometimes I feel that converting articles to redirects has the effect of circumventing the usual deletion processes (though I certainly understand and respect your reasoning here). At any rate, I am pleased that a decision on the article's fate will be decided by consensus. Gobōnobō + c 20:26, 25 June 2013 (UTC)

Stop icon

Your recent editing history at May 1971 shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Please note that "I am right" dies not excuse edit warring. You have to actually go to the article talk page, argue your case and seek consensus. --Guy Macon (talk) 17:24, 27 June 2013 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for June 30

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Gender inequality in Honduras, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Gender gap (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

WikiCup 2013 June newsletter

We are down to our final 16: the 2013 semi-finals are upon us. A score of 321 was required to survive round 3, further cementing this as the most competitive WikiCup yet; round 3 was survived in 2012 with 243 points, in 2011 with 76 points and in 2010 with 250 points. The change may in part be to do with the fact that more articles are now awarded bonus points, in addition to more competitive play. Reaching the final has, in the past, required 573 points (2012, a 135% increase on the score needed to reach round 4), 150 points (2011, a 97% increase) and 417 points (2010, a 72% increase). This round has seen over a third of participants claiming points for featured articles (with seven users claiming for multiple featured articles) and most users have also gained bonus points. However, the majority of points continue to come from good articles, followed by did you know articles. In this round, every content type was utilised by at least one user, proving that the WikiCup brings together content contributors from all corners of the project.

Round 3 saw a number of contributions of note. Idaho Figureskatingfan (submissions) claimed the first featured topic points in this year's competition for her excellent work on topics related to Maya Angelou, the noted American author and poet. We have also continued to see high-importance articles improved as part of the competition: Wyoming Ealdgyth (submissions) was awarded a thoroughly well-earned 560 points for her featured article Middle Ages and 102 points for her good article Battle of Hastings. Good articles James Chadwick and Stanislaw Ulam netted Australia Hawkeye7 (submissions) 102 and 72 points respectively, while 72 points were awarded to Poland Piotrus (submissions) for each of Władysław Sikorski and Emilia Plater, both recently promoted to good article status. Collaborative efforts between WikiCup participants have continued, with, for example, New South Wales Casliber (submissions) and Canada Sasata (submissions) being awarded 180 points each for their featured article on Boletus luridus.

A rules reminder: content promoted between rounds can be claimed in the round after the break, but not the round before. The case in point is content promoted on the 29/30 June, which may be claimed in this round. 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. We are currently seeing concern about the amount of time people have to wait for reviews, especially at GAC- if you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to reduce the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

You provided a source, but it is difficult for other users to examine the copyright status of the image because the source is incomplete. Please consider clarifying the exact source so that the copyright status may be checked more easily. It is best to specify the exact Web page where you found the image, rather than only giving the source domain or the URL of the image file itself.

Red links

Gillian Knapp, Astrophysicist - article was red linked because her nickname, Jill, was removed from the title. Essentially the same thing happened to other articles by removing middle name, initial or birth name. I do not know why. Suggest searching for Christian name and married name. You may find some "missing" articles as I did. Respectfully, Tiyang (talk) 16:17, 13 July 2013 (UTC)

Help with Richard Stengel?

Hi Gobonobo, I've been trying to find some help with an article you once worked on—although it has been awhile since you did. This is Richard Stengel, and I recently proposed some updates to it, however I have not had any luck finding an editor to review my suggestions. I'm asking in the first place because I have a financial COI here: I have prepared these changes on behalf of Time Inc., with input from Mr. Stengel. If you have time to look at this, I'd really appreciate it. Details can be found on the article's Talk page. Cheers, WWB Too (Talk · COI) 17:49, 18 July 2013 (UTC)

Hey WWB. I'm pretty busy this time of year and have a large backlog of edits that I'd like to make, so I'll have to decline. I'd point you to Wikipedia:WikiProject Cooperation, but I'm guessing you already know about that. Good luck to you. Gobōnobō + c 17:48, 19 July 2013 (UTC)
Hi there, Gobo. No problem, I certainly understand. If I still can't find someone individually, I'll probably try WP:CO-OP. Cheers, WWB Too (Talk · COI) 18:41, 22 July 2013 (UTC)

WikiCup 2013 July newsletter

We're halfway through this year's penultimate round, and the competition is moving along well. Pool A's Canada Sasata (submissions) currently leads overall, while Pool B's Colorado Sturmvogel_66 (submissions) is second. Both leaders are WikiCup veterans, and both have already scored over 600 points this month. If the round were to end today, London Miyagawa (submissions), with 274 points, would be the lowest-scoring participant to make it through. This indicates that participants will need a score comparable to last year's (573, the highest ever) to qualify for the final. The high scores this year are a testament both to the quality of participants and to the increased focus on significant content (eligible for bonus points) in this year's competition. So far this round, both Sasata and Wales Cwmhiraeth (submissions) have made up over half of their score through bonus points, with, for example, high importance FA koala earning Sasata a total of 440 points (from a multiplier of 4.4) and high-importance GA sea earning Cwmhiraeth a total of 216 points (from a multiplier of 7.2). Other articles on important topics submitted this round include a featured article on the Norman conquest of England by Wyoming Ealdgyth (submissions), and good articles on Nobel laureate in literature Henryk Sienkiewicz, Nobel laureate in physics Hans Bethe, and the noted Japanese aircraft carrier Hiryū. These articles are by Poland Piotrus (submissions), Australia Hawkeye7 (submissions) and Sturmvogel_66 respectively.
