Did you write "With almost no land left to develop for housing, Teaneck's population is likely to remain stable for the foreseeable future. A reluctance to permit high-rise development as a means to increase population density also places a limit on growth. Changes in family size are one of the few influences that may affect population over time?" This holds true for Teaneck, but it also holds true for Hackensack, which has an even slower population growth (0.9% since 2000). Also, it is a little misleading because it makes Teaneck sound like a 200,000 people city, not a 50,000 people suburb. Both Teaneck and Hackensack are quite built up, but the dominant cover in both Hackensack and Teaneck is vegetation (look at Google Earth, Wiki Mapia etc.). Here's a possible definition of small city: A city with vegetation, not buildings, being its dominant cover." Both Hackensack and Teaneck are correctly described like that and will probably both fit that rule forever. They both have under 50,000 people, which is another definition of small city. Hackensack and Teaneck will probably fit that definition forever. For a small city such as Teaneck or Hackensack that will probably have a <50,000 population and be dominately covered by vegetation forever, it is misleading to say "Almost no land left to develop for housing," as it potrays an image of a place like New York City.

I've been trying to add final scores to the Opening Day Starting Pitcher lists I have been working on, most recently List of Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim Opening Day starting pitchers, following your lead from List of Washington Nationals Opening Day starting pitchers. But I am running into a sorting problem. Scores that start with a 10 or above are coming out between 1 and 2 when I sort. I think I used the same syntax as you did for List of Washington Nationals Opening Day starting pitchers, but it doesn't seem to work for me. Do you know what I could be doing wrong? Thanks.

My goal is to add clarification to the "awards and recognition" part of the article. the article is written as if a school can only win the award once because there is a large gap of time between when it was won (about 17yrs ago) and today. My addition is not a criticism of the school, it is just a simple clarification on the award due to the fact that the award was won many years ago. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ballah4life ( talk • contribs) 03:33, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

I'm troubled by your continued incivility at CFD. It is not uncommon for you to have difficulty remaining civil and assuming good faith with those who disagree with you in that forum, particularly with User:Kbdank71. I'd appreciate your thoughts on why those comments do not merit a block per your editing restrictions. Postdlf ( talk) 05:50, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
Alansohn has been performing yeoman's work almost single-handedly pushing back against a group of admins who have been deleting every cat in sight without adequate consensus and against policy. (I'm just an IP without an editor account and even *I've* noticed this.) His push back has been met with virulent resistance and harassment, and that he is occasionally baited into incivility, while certainly not laudable, is nevertheless understandable. IMO, the whole CFD process needs to be restructured. 68.73.114.58 ( talk) 23:48, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

A new bot is patrolling Wikipedia workflows to let WPNJ members know when any of our articles may be in need of attention. Any article tagged with the WPNJ banner that has been added to one of the major workflows (AfD, FAC, GAN, etc.) will be added to a new project page. The bot runs daily, so add the new Article Alerts page to your watchlist, or just check the main project page to see the updates. See the Article Alerts project page for details on how the bot works and which processes it covers. | The following articles may be in need of attention:

Hello, this is a message from
an automated bot. A tag has been placed on
Category:Cemeteries in Atlantic County, New Jersey, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be
speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because

CSD C1).
To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting
Category:Cemeteries in Atlantic County, New Jersey, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at

Hey Alansohn, if you get a chance, could you swing by Woodland Park, New Jersey and give a hand with changing it over from West Paterson to Woodland Park? I'm curious as to when you think we should retain the West Paterson name (for historical references) and when it should be fully changed over to the new name.

Thanks for the note. As you couldn't find anything saying that the name change has officially happened already, I've moved the article back to West Paterson and restored that name in the body of the article. Watch out for the edits of Beholdkingjames, who has several times introduced copyvios, and changed even past references to Woodland Park (for example, saying that the 2000 census demonstrated certain things about Woodland Park, when it should say West Paterson), in case you don't already know that :-) Nyttend ( talk) 23:40, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
Yeah, I do have a question. You said "Any article that is in Category:Irish-American politicians is already part of Category:Irish-Americans which is a parent category." But, for Instance, If I search for John P. Daley (who is an Irish American) on the Category:Irish-Americans page I won't find him because he is only listed as an Irish-America politican and not an Irish-American. I tried looking for him on the Category:Irish-Americans page, but he's just not there. Georgiamed ( talk) 02:01, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

New York City Meetup
|
In the afternoon, we will hold a session dedicated to meta:Wikimedia New York City activities, finalize and approve bylaws, interact with representatives from the Software Freedom Law Center, and hold salon-style group discussions on Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia projects (see the June meeting's minutes and the September meeting's minutes).
We'll also review our recent Wikis Take Manhattan event, and make preparations for our exciting successor Wikipedia Loves Art! bonanza, being planned with the Brooklyn Museum for February.
In the evening, we'll share dinner and chat at a local restaurant, and (weather permitting) hold a late-night astronomy event at Columbia's telescopes.
You can add or remove your name from the New York City Meetups invite list at Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC/Invite list.
To keep up-to-date on local events, you can also join our

Ok I understand what your saying, however, the information included is not promotional, no more than that of the only included arts center SOPAC, whose very nature is FOR PROFIT, further more, I followed there reference links and it takes you to their page and the information is copied and pasted from their page. How is that ok but what I have done not OK? please explain that. I have attempted to right it my owns before only to have it taken by you last week, and because it wasn't referenced or cited and you said it wasn't in my own words, WHICH IT WAS. how do you write in your own words and then cite that exact wordage with out it being copyright infringement. I see you have a log list of edits, why don't you add the correct info then since it seems to be conveniently omitted from the arts section as well as local government section. How are we to include the pertinent info w/o being considered a COI or promotion when the only ARTS mentioned is a SHAMELESS promotion of a for profit organization? How is that fair. how is their (SOPAC) information encyclopedic and ours not? This is the first time am having to do this and I am EXTREMELY FRUSTRATED! I do not understand how the only arts mentioned gets away with doing exactly what I did and not having that info removed as well? EXPLAIN! thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheBairdArts ( talk • contribs) 20:03, 26 November 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages.

SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better — thanks for helping.

I understand the difficulty with imdb, and will only use them as a tertiary source in the future, except for filmographies.
Just for clarification. I changed the name in the article from "Route 4" because I felt it was not specific enough. Did it denote a county road? A federal route? I know that the locals in Teaneck refer to it as "Route 4" (having been raised there), but thought the more specific would be preferable.
I will endeavor to get links to Mr. Levin's birthplace (which I got off of imdb), as well. One question, can citations be to published works (e.g. books, newspapers) rather than to online links?
Onel5969 ( talk) 01:18, 13 December 2013 (UTC)
Okay, reviewed your edits on David P. Levin, and completely understand them. As I get better sources, will cite as appropriate.

December Notes from the
Guild of Copy Editors
The December blitz ran from December 8–14. The theme for this blitz was articles tied in some way to religion. Seven editors knocked out 20 articles over the course of the week. Our next blitz will be in February, with a theme to be determined. Feel free to make theme suggestions at the Guild talk page! The January 2014 Backlog elimination drive is a month-long effort to reduce the size of the copy edit backlog. The drive begins on January 1 at 00:00 (UTC) and ends on January 31 at 23:59 (UTC). Our goals are to copy edit all articles tagged in October and November 2012 and complete all requests placed before the end of 2013. Barnstars will be awarded to anyone who copy edits at least one article, and special awards will be given to the top five in the following categories: "Number of articles", "Number of words", "Number of articles of over 5,000 words", "Number of articles tagged in October and November 2012", and "Longest article". We hope to see you there! ![]() Coordinator election: Voting is open for candidates to serve as GOCE coordinators from 1 January through 30 June 2014. Voting will run until the end of December.

Thanks for your work on this category; I wasted a ton of time cleaning up after Coffee's rampage, both undeleting categories and reverting category removals. However, I question the need for the category; see Category:Former buildings and structures in Chicago, Illinois. Do you believe that there's a big enough difference between "Demolished buildings" and "Former buildings" that both are needed? Or do you think, as I do, that they're close enough that we don't need both of them? Nyttend ( talk) 13:38, 22 December 2013 (UTC)

Greetings, would you happen to know how to rename categories, such as Category:Mount Laurel Township, New Jersey to Category:Mount Laurel, New Jersey and also Category:Mount Holly Township, New Jersey to Category:Mount Holly, New Jersey, without the word Townships. I was bold and moved Mount Laurel Township to just Mount Laurel, since it is commonly known by that name, similar to Mount Holly, Cherry Hill, Medford, North Bergen, Weehawken, and several other townships. I realize there is a debate going on about this. Thanks and happy holidays to you. Tinton5 ( talk) 21:55, 24 December 2013 (UTC)

I am writing you for the 500th time to request that you stop your unnecessary edits to my additions to the Galloway Township, NJ article page that are based on whzt you feel is relevant and what is not. We spoke months ago and agreed to the following consensus:
1. That the population trends would be permitted to remain in the introduction paragraph as per your wishes. 2. That the fact how Galloway Township is the largest municipality in the State of New Jersey would be worded the way you wanted it. 3. That the Deputy Mayor would be added and REMAIN in the infobox. 4. That the Township Manager's date of service would REMAIN next to the current manager's name in the infobox.
You agreed to this consensus and I have it in writing. However, you have turned around and deleted the final two points mentioned above.
The Deputy Mayor is an extremely relevant fact to place in the infobox. Why? Because in the particular case of Galloway Township, the deputy mayor performs numerous functions. He presides in the absence of the mayor at council meetings. The deputy mayor is charged with heading several committees and subcommittees. The deputy mayor in Galloway Township also signs all financial documents with the mayor. Your claim that the deputy mayor "have no governmental function whatsoever" is therefore grossly incorrect.
I greatly appreciate your inputs to the article. However, I do not appreciate how you constantly change others solely on the fact that you do not agree or feel that it is not relevant to the article. You also have numerous sources whose links to articles no longer exist or can be accessed. I have attempted to delete links that are broken or no longer valid, however you always reinsert them. There are numerous pieces of content that I feel are irrelevant that you have added throughout the article. However, I have not edited or deleted them. I request that you recognize the fact that all content and information, regardless of whether you agree with or feel it is relevant to the article or not, is permitted to be added and remain in the article.
Please respond to any questions or concerns in regards to this post by posting on the article's talk page.

Alansohn, your lack of awareness of the meaning and function of Wikipedia terminology such as "Jew-tagging" (a neologism analogous to "NPOV-tagging" or "civility-tagging") is leading you astray. I won't try to explain it again, since nobody else seems to be getting through. I see in the thread above that you make a fine-drawn distinction between accusing someone of being an anti-semite and accusing them of acting like an anti-semite (= for instance, of "going on an antisemitic rant" and "using anti-semitic slurs"). But that distinction is null, since it goes without saying that you don't have access to Andy's opinions and emotions and aren't commenting on the inside of his head, but on his actions. It's all any of us can do when talking about other people. It's unconscionable to baselessly accuse an editor of antisemitic behaviour and, as recently, of "using thinly veiled racist language" and "persistent use of thinly disguised racist rhetoric", [1] and it needs to stop. If you talk like that again, in any venue, I won't hesitate to block you for persistent personal attacks. Your safest course might be to avoid mentioning (or indirectly referring) to AndyTheGrump again at all, since you can't seem to do it without such attacks, but that's up to you.

The 2014 WikiCup is off to a flying start, with, at time of writing, 138 participants. The is the largest number of participants we have seen since 2010. If you are yet to join the competition, don't worry- the judges have agreed to keep the
signups open for a few more days. By a wide margin, our current leader is newcomer
Godot13 (
submissions), whose set of
14 featured pictures, the first FPs of the competition, was worth 490 points. Here are some more noteworthy scorers:
Featured articles, featured lists, featured topics and featured portals are yet to play a part in the competition. The judges have removed a number of submissions which were deemed ineligible. Typically, we aim to see work on a project, followed by a nomination, followed by promotion, this year. We apologise for any disappointment caused by our strict enforcement this year; we're aiming to keep the competition as fair as possible.
Wikipedians interested in friendly competition may be interested to take part in The Core Contest; unlike the WikiCup, The Core Contest is not about audited content, but, like the WikiCup, it is about article improvement; specifically, The Core Contest is about contribution to some of Wikipedia's most important article. Of course, any work done for The Core Contest, if it leads to a DYK, GA or FA, can earn WikiCup 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. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to help keep down the review backlogs!

Hi, I wanted to reach out regarding the deletion of the business section. I'm not sure why it was deleted. I thought it would be helpful to begin a business section so if people are looking at the page for more information about what is in the town. I did a search of companies in Bay Head and thought I would try to pick a variety of different types of businesses. If you could provide some suggestions on how to change or improve it, I would very much appreciate it. Thanks! alvb — Preceding undated comment added 16:12, 23 February 2014 (UTC)
The "net effect" of the edit was not to change citation formats. The primary rationale for it was to revert addition of unsourced content and removal of valid content without a stated rationale/edit summary. Of secondary importance were the reversion of violations of WP:SEASON, WP:PAIC and WP:EL, which can clearly be seen by looking at the diff, by reading my edit summary, and/or by reading my message to User:98.109.145.86. Yes, alteration to the citations was one of these secondary aspects of the edit. I changed "Accessed" to "Retrieved" and placed publication dates after the authors because that's how that information is displayed when templates are used, so I figured that that is the correct or predominant way that info should be displayed (and not because of any personal preference on my part as you accused me previously; I used to use "Accessed" when I thought that was the proper term, and only changed it when I noticed the templates did not employ it). Although I don't have time to convert the citations to template form today, I intend to eventually, bu displaying the info that way, it appears identical to how it would appear once that conversion takes place. As far as WP:CITEVAR, I figured I was the primary contributor to that article, though looking through the edit history, I see that you have more edits to it than I do. Would you prefer I convert the citations now to template form, or just revert the citation info to the previous formats? Nightscream ( talk) 05:28, 25 February 2014 (UTC)
I had contacted User:Mark Arsten regarding his deletion of File:New Jersey Dry Town Listing.pdf. He said he would look into it on his talk page. When I went to follow up on his talk page and clicked on the image again, I saw that he had restored it, hadn't told me that he restored it, he had the image nominated for deletion (without notifying anyone) and then the discussion was closed as delete (and deleted) by you based on one incorrect vote. This is not a government document, it is a copy of a government document for which it is unclear that there is any copyright issue whatsoever. NFCC#3 doesn't apply based on minimal usage, nor does 7 (it is referenced in multiple articles), 8 (it's used as the only available source from the state) or 9 (it's used only in article space). Without the image the information is unverifiable in any way as the material is unpublished by the State of New Jersey. May I ask you to reconsider your deletion of the image once and for all.

Hello Alansohn:
WikiProject AFC is holding a month long
Backlog Elimination Drive!
The goal of this drive is to eliminate the backlog of unreviewed articles. The drive is running from March 1, 2014 to March 31, 2014.
Awards will be given out for all reviewers participating in the drive in the form of barnstars at the end of the drive.
There is a backlog of over 2700 articles, so start reviewing articles! Visit the
drive's page and help out!
And so ends the most competitive first round we have ever seen, with 38 points required to qualify for round 2. Last year, 19 points secured a place; before that, 11 (2012) or 8 (2011) were enough. This is both a blessing and a curse. While it shows the vigourous good health of the competition, it also means that we have already lost many worthy competitors. Our top three scorers were:
Other competitors of note include:
After such a competitive first round, expect the second round to also be fiercely fought. Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 1 but before the start of round 2 can be claimed in round 2, but please do not update your submission page until March (UTC). 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 equally.
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. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to help keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

A quick update as we are half way through round two of this year's competition. WikiCup newcomer
Godot13 (
submissions) (Pool E) leads, having produced a massive set of featured pictures for
Silver certificate (United States), an article also brought to featured list status. Former finalist
Adam Cuerden (
submissions) (Pool G) is in second, which he owes mostly to his work with historical images, including a number of images from
Urania's Mirror, an article also brought to good status. 2010 champion (Pool C) is third overall, thanks to contributions relating to naval history, including the newly featured
Japanese battleship Nagato.
Cliftonian (
submissions), who currently leads Pool A and is sixth overall, takes the title for the highest scoring individual article of the competition so far, with the top importance featured article
Ian Smith.
With 26 people having already scored over 100 points, it is likely that well over 100 points will be needed to secure a place in round 3. Recent years have required 123 (2013), 65 (2012), 41 (2011) and 100 (2010). Remember that only 64 will progress to round 3 at the end of April. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page; if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points equally.

Hi Alansohn, I'm sending you this message because you're one of about 300 users who have recently edited an article in the umbrella category of open educational resources (OER) (or open education). In evaluating several projects we've been working on (e.g. the WIKISOO course and WikiProject Open), my colleague Pete Forsyth and I have wondered who chooses to edit OER-related articles and why. Regardless of whether you've taken the WIKISOO course yourself - and/or never even heard the term OER before - we'd be extremely grateful for your participation in this brief, anonymous survey before 27 April. No personal data is being collected. If you have any ideas or questions, please get in touch. My talk page awaits. Thanks for your support! - Sara FB ( talk) 20:35, 23 April 2014 (UTC)
Greetings fellow disambiguator! Remember back in February when we made history by clearing the board for the first time ever, for the monthly disambiguation contest? Let's do it again in May! I personally will be aiming to lead the board next month, but for anyone who thinks they can put in a better effort, I will give a $10 Amazon gift card to any editor who scores more disambiguation points in May. Also, I will be setting up a one-day contest later in the month, and will try to set up more prizes and other ways to make this a fun and productive month. Cheers! bd2412 T 18:46, 28 April 2014 (UTC)
I hate to say this, but your addition of County-specific maps to Morris County, New Jersey sites on the National Register of Historic Places have created a broken, and oddly formatted category, specifically, the Category:Historic districts in USA New Jersey Morris County.

Round 3 of the 2014 WikiCup has just begun; 32 competitors remain. Pool G's
Adam Cuerden (
submissions) was Round 2's highest scorer, with a large number of featured picture credits. In March/April, he restored star charts from
Urania's Mirror, lithographs of various warships (such as
SMS Gefion) and assorted other historical media. Second overall was Pool E's
Godot13 (
submissions), whose featured list
Silver certificate (United States) contains dozens of scans of banknotes recently promoted to featured picture status. Third was Pool G's
ChrisGualtieri (
submissions) who has produced a large number of good articles, many, including
Falkner Island, on Connecticut-related topics. Other successful participants included
Cliftonian (
submissions), who saw three articles (including the top-importance
Ian Smith) through featured article candidacies, and
Caponer (
submissions), who saw three lists (including the beautifully-illustrated
list of plantations in West Virginia) through featured list candidacies. High-importance good articles promoted this round include
narwhal from
Reid,iain james (
submissions),
tiger from
Cwmhiraeth (
submissions) and
The Lion King from
Igordebraga (
submissions). We also saw our first featured topic points of the competition, awarded to
Czar (
submissions) and
Red Phoenix (
submissions) for their work on the
Sega Genesis topic. No points have been claimed so far for good topics or featured portals.
192 was our lowest qualifying score, again showing that this WikiCup is the most competitive ever. In previous years, 123 (2013), 65 (2012), 41 (2011) or 100 (2010) secured a place in Round 3. Pool H was the strongest performer, with all but one of its members advancing, while only the two highest scorers in Pools G and F advanced. At the end of June, 16 users will advance into the semi-finals.

Hi, thanks for your message. As I understand it, those guidelines you link to refer to stand-alone lists. The article in question is about Ridgewood, New Jersey, which then happens to also display some notable residents. Basically we tend to be a bit more selective in such instances (and much less so for a stand-alone list) and "no redirects" is a useful way to achieve this. I'm not sure if it's a policy as such, but you'll often see the "no redirects" instruction listed when editing sections such as that one, particularly on high-profile articles. Clementi would probably make the cut for a complete stand-alone list of residents (assuming he has a significant link to the area), but he is likely to be deleted from the Ridgewood article itself, particularly when we consider that the article is already of a substantial size. If he is especially significant to the area in question then a case for inclusion probably could be made, though in such instances it's often better to integrate the event into the article. To be honest the sheer number of names still seems to be a little long to me, and if anything probably needs further trimming if at all possible. This issue is only likely to get worse in future and I think in the long run a stand-alone list is going to be required, with just the very most notable people remaining listed on the main Ridgewood article. I note there's still one red link still in place so I suggest we remove that as a first step. Anyway, I hope this explanation makes the matter a little clearer and thanks once again for your message.-- Shakehandsman ( talk) 04:54, 30 May 2014 (UTC)

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article 85th Street (Manhattan) is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/85th Street (Manhattan) until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Epicgenius ( talk) 18:29, 6 June 2014 (UTC)

After an extremely close race, Round 3 is over. 244 points secured a place in Round 4, which is comparable to previous years- 321 was required in 2013, while 243 points were needed in 2012. Pool C's
Godot13 (
submissions) was the round's highest scorer, mostly due to a 32 featured pictures, including both scans and photographs. Also from Pool C,
Casliber (
submissions) finished second overall, claiming three featured articles, including the high-importance
Grus (constellation). Third place was Pool B's , whose contributions included featured articles
Russian battleship Poltava (1894) and
Russian battleship Peresvet. Pool C saw the highest number of participants advance, with six out of eight making it to the next round.
The round saw this year's first featured portal, with
Sven Manguard (
submissions) taking
Portal:Literature to featured status. The round also saw the first good topic points, thanks to
12george1 (
submissions) and the
2013 Atlantic hurricane season. This means that all content types have been claimed this year. Other contributions of note this round include a featured topic on
Maya Angelou's autobiographies from
Figureskatingfan (
submissions), a good article on the noted Czech footballer
Tomáš Rosický from
Cloudz679 (
submissions) and
a now-featured video game screenshot, freely released due to the efforts of
Sven Manguard (
submissions).
The judges would like to remind participants to update submission pages promptly. This means that content can be checked, and allows those following the competition (including those participating) to keep track of scores effectively. This round has seen discussion about various aspects of the WikiCup's rules and procedures. Those interested in the competition can be assured that formal discussions about how next year's competition will work will be opened shortly, and all are welcome to voice their views then.

Alansohn, back in June Gloucester County College was officially renamed Rowan College at Gloucester County. I tried to make the appropriate page move today, but a newbie editor who doesn't know about preserving edit history had written a new (albeit short) article on Rowan College at Gloucester County, thus preventing the page move. You're an administrator who can override this, correct? It's literally the same school, with the same people, and nothing about it is different (for Wikipedia purposes) other than a name change. Can you move "Gloucester County College" over "Rowan College at Gloucester County"? Jrcla2 ( talk) 17:32, 7 July 2014 (UTC)

The final of the 2014 WikiCup begins in a few short minutes! Our eight finalists are listed below, along with their placement in Round 4:
We say goodbye to this year's semi-finalists.
Matty.007 (
submissions),
ThaddeusB (
submissions),
WikiRedactor (
submissions),
Figureskatingfan (
submissions),
Yellow Evan (
submissions),
Prism (
submissions) and
Cloudz679 (
submissions) have all performed well to reach this stage of the competition, and we hope they will all be joining us again next year.
There are two upcoming competitions unrelated to the WikiCup which may be of interest to those who receive this newsletter. The Stub Contest will run through September, and revolves around expanding stub articles, especially high-importance or old stubs. In addition, a proposal has been made for a new competition, the GA Cup, which the organisers plan to run next year. This competition is based on the WikiCup and aims to reduce the good article review backlog.
There is now a thread for brainstorming on how next year's WikiCup competition should work. Please come along and share your thoughts- What works? What doesn't work? What needs changing? Signups for next year's competition will be open soon; we will be in touch. If, at this stage of the competition, you are keen to help the with the WikiCup, please do what you can to participate in review processes. Our finalists will find things much easier if the backlogs at good article candidates, featured article candidates, featured picture candidates and the rest are kept at a minimum. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Kearny, New Jersey, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page The Hour. 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.

Did you write "With almost no land left to develop for housing, Teaneck's population is likely to remain stable for the foreseeable future. A reluctance to permit high-rise development as a means to increase population density also places a limit on growth. Changes in family size are one of the few influences that may affect population over time?" This holds true for Teaneck, but it also holds true for Hackensack, which has an even slower population growth (0.9% since 2000). Also, it is a little misleading because it makes Teaneck sound like a 200,000 people city, not a 50,000 people suburb. Both Teaneck and Hackensack are quite built up, but the dominant cover in both Hackensack and Teaneck is vegetation (look at Google Earth, Wiki Mapia etc.). Here's a possible definition of small city: A city with vegetation, not buildings, being its dominant cover." Both Hackensack and Teaneck are correctly described like that and will probably both fit that rule forever. They both have under 50,000 people, which is another definition of small city. Hackensack and Teaneck will probably fit that definition forever. For a small city such as Teaneck or Hackensack that will probably have a <50,000 population and be dominately covered by vegetation forever, it is misleading to say "Almost no land left to develop for housing," as it potrays an image of a place like New York City.

I've been trying to add final scores to the Opening Day Starting Pitcher lists I have been working on, most recently List of Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim Opening Day starting pitchers, following your lead from List of Washington Nationals Opening Day starting pitchers. But I am running into a sorting problem. Scores that start with a 10 or above are coming out between 1 and 2 when I sort. I think I used the same syntax as you did for List of Washington Nationals Opening Day starting pitchers, but it doesn't seem to work for me. Do you know what I could be doing wrong? Thanks.

My goal is to add clarification to the "awards and recognition" part of the article. the article is written as if a school can only win the award once because there is a large gap of time between when it was won (about 17yrs ago) and today. My addition is not a criticism of the school, it is just a simple clarification on the award due to the fact that the award was won many years ago. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ballah4life ( talk • contribs) 03:33, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

I'm troubled by your continued incivility at CFD. It is not uncommon for you to have difficulty remaining civil and assuming good faith with those who disagree with you in that forum, particularly with User:Kbdank71. I'd appreciate your thoughts on why those comments do not merit a block per your editing restrictions. Postdlf ( talk) 05:50, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
Alansohn has been performing yeoman's work almost single-handedly pushing back against a group of admins who have been deleting every cat in sight without adequate consensus and against policy. (I'm just an IP without an editor account and even *I've* noticed this.) His push back has been met with virulent resistance and harassment, and that he is occasionally baited into incivility, while certainly not laudable, is nevertheless understandable. IMO, the whole CFD process needs to be restructured. 68.73.114.58 ( talk) 23:48, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

A new bot is patrolling Wikipedia workflows to let WPNJ members know when any of our articles may be in need of attention. Any article tagged with the WPNJ banner that has been added to one of the major workflows (AfD, FAC, GAN, etc.) will be added to a new project page. The bot runs daily, so add the new Article Alerts page to your watchlist, or just check the main project page to see the updates. See the Article Alerts project page for details on how the bot works and which processes it covers. | The following articles may be in need of attention:

Hello, this is a message from
an automated bot. A tag has been placed on
Category:Cemeteries in Atlantic County, New Jersey, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be
speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because
Category:Cemeteries in Atlantic County, New Jersey has been empty for at least four days, and its only content has been links to parent categories. (
CSD C1).
To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting
Category:Cemeteries in Atlantic County, New Jersey, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at
WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the

Hey Alansohn, if you get a chance, could you swing by Woodland Park, New Jersey and give a hand with changing it over from West Paterson to Woodland Park?

Thanks for the note. As you couldn't find anything saying that the name change has officially happened already, I've moved the article back to West Paterson and restored that name in the body of the article. Watch out for the edits of Beholdkingjames, who has several times introduced copyvios, and changed even past references to Woodland Park (for example, saying that the 2000 census demonstrated certain things about Woodland Park, when it should say West Paterson), in case you don't already know that :-) Nyttend ( talk) 23:40, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
Yeah, I do have a question. You said "Any article that is in Category:Irish-American politicians is already part of Category:Irish-Americans which is a parent category." But, for Instance, If I search for John P. Daley (who is an Irish American) on the Category:Irish-Americans page I won't find him because he is only listed as an Irish-America politican and not an Irish-American. I tried looking for him on the Category:Irish-Americans page, but he's just not there. Georgiamed ( talk) 02:01, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

In the afternoon, we will hold a session dedicated to meta:Wikimedia New York City activities, finalize and approve bylaws, interact with representatives from the Software Freedom Law Center, and hold salon-style group discussions on Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia projects (see the June meeting's minutes and the September meeting's minutes).
We'll also review our recent Wikis Take Manhattan event, and make preparations for our exciting successor Wikipedia Loves Art! bonanza, being planned with the Brooklyn Museum for February.
In the evening, we'll share dinner and chat at a local restaurant, and (weather permitting) hold a late-night astronomy event at Columbia's telescopes.
You can add or remove your name from the New York City Meetups invite list at Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC/Invite list.

Ok I understand what your saying, however, the information included is not promotional, no more than that of the only included arts center SOPAC, whose very nature is FOR PROFIT, further more, I followed there reference links and it takes you to their page and the information is copied and pasted from their page. How is that ok but what I have done not OK? please explain that. I have attempted to right it my owns before only to have it taken by you last week, and because it wasn't referenced or cited and you said it wasn't in my own words, WHICH IT WAS. how do you write in your own words and then cite that exact wordage with out it being copyright infringement. I see you have a log list of edits, why don't you add the correct info then since it seems to be conveniently omitted from the arts section as well as local government section. How are we to include the pertinent info w/o being considered a COI or promotion when the only ARTS mentioned is a SHAMELESS promotion of a for profit organization? How is that fair. how is their (SOPAC) information encyclopedic and ours not? This is the first time am having to do this and I am EXTREMELY FRUSTRATED! I do not understand how the only arts mentioned gets away with doing exactly what I did and not having that info removed as well?

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Wenonah, New Jersey, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page At large ( 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.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages.

SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better — thanks for helping.
If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from Nettrom ( talk), SuggestBot's caretaker. -- SuggestBot ( talk) 16:01, 12 December 2013 (UTC)
Thank you so much for your feedback. Am new to this and appreciate any criticism...
I understand the difficulty with imdb, and will only use them as a tertiary source in the future, except for filmographies.
Just for clarification. I changed the name in the article from "Route 4" because I felt it was not specific enough. Did it denote a county road? A federal route? I know that the locals in Teaneck refer to it as "Route 4" (having been raised there), but thought the more specific would be preferable.
I will endeavor to get links to Mr. Levin's birthplace (which I got off of imdb), as well. One question, can citations be to published works (e.g. books, newspapers) rather than to online links?
Onel5969 ( talk) 01:18, 13 December 2013 (UTC)
Okay, reviewed your edits on David P. Levin, and completely understand them. As I get better sources, will cite as appropriate. Thanks for all your help... am trying to feel my way through this and just want to make sure my stuff is "up to snuff". One other thing, how do I get that "citation" tag off the entry?

December Notes from the
Guild of Copy Editors
The December blitz ran from December 8–14. The theme for this blitz was articles tied in some way to religion. Seven editors knocked out 20 articles over the course of the week. Our next blitz will be in February, with a theme to be determined. Feel free to make theme suggestions at the Guild talk page! The January 2014 Backlog elimination drive is a month-long effort to reduce the size of the copy edit backlog. The drive begins on January 1 at 00:00 (UTC) and ends on January 31 at 23:59 (UTC). Our goals are to copy edit all articles tagged in October and November 2012 and complete all requests placed before the end of 2013. Barnstars will be awarded to anyone who copy edits at least one article, and special awards will be given to the top five in the following categories: "Number of articles", "Number of words", "Number of articles of over 5,000 words", "Number of articles tagged in October and November 2012", and "Longest article". We hope to see you there! ![]() Coordinator election: Voting is open for candidates to serve as GOCE coordinators from 1 January through 30 June 2014. Voting will run until the end of December.

Thanks for your work on this category; I wasted a ton of time cleaning up after Coffee's rampage, both undeleting categories and reverting category removals. However, I question the need for the category; see Category:Former buildings and structures in Chicago, Illinois. Do you believe that there's a big enough difference between "Demolished buildings" and "Former buildings" that both are needed? Or do you think, as I do, that they're close enough that we don't need both of them? Nyttend ( talk) 13:38, 22 December 2013 (UTC)

Greetings, would you happen to know how to rename categories, such as Category:Mount Laurel Township, New Jersey to Category:Mount Laurel, New Jersey and also Category:Mount Holly Township, New Jersey to Category:Mount Holly, New Jersey, without the word Townships. I was bold and moved Mount Laurel Township to just Mount Laurel, since it is commonly known by that name, similar to Mount Holly, Cherry Hill, Medford, North Bergen, Weehawken, and several other townships. I realize there is a debate going on about this. Thanks and happy holidays to you. Tinton5 ( talk) 21:55, 24 December 2013 (UTC)

Ben Wallace pled guilty to a misdemeanor charge of drunken driving and possessing a firearm while under the influence of alcohol and received one year probation and no jail time.

I am writing you for the 500th time to request that you stop your unnecessary edits to my additions to the Galloway Township, NJ article page that are based on whzt you feel is relevant and what is not. We spoke months ago and agreed to the following consensus:
1. That the population trends would be permitted to remain in the introduction paragraph as per your wishes. 2. That the fact how Galloway Township is the largest municipality in the State of New Jersey would be worded the way you wanted it. 3. That the Deputy Mayor would be added and REMAIN in the infobox. 4. That the Township Manager's date of service would REMAIN next to the current manager's name in the infobox.
You agreed to this consensus and I have it in writing. However, you have turned around and deleted the final two points mentioned above.
The Deputy Mayor is an extremely relevant fact to place in the infobox. Why? Because in the particular case of Galloway Township, the deputy mayor performs numerous functions. He presides in the absence of the mayor at council meetings. The deputy mayor is charged with heading several committees and subcommittees. The deputy mayor in Galloway Township also signs all financial documents with the mayor. Your claim that the deputy mayor "have no governmental function whatsoever" is therefore grossly incorrect.
I greatly appreciate your inputs to the article. However, I do not appreciate how you constantly change others solely on the fact that you do not agree or feel that it is not relevant to the article. You also have numerous sources whose links to articles no longer exist or can be accessed. I have attempted to delete links that are broken or no longer valid, however you always reinsert them. There are numerous pieces of content that I feel are irrelevant that you have added throughout the article. However, I have not edited or deleted them. I request that you recognize the fact that all content and information, regardless of whether you agree with or feel it is relevant to the article or not, is permitted to be added and remain in the article.
Please respond to any questions or concerns in regards to this post by posting on the article's talk page.

Alansohn, your lack of awareness of the meaning and function of Wikipedia terminology such as "Jew-tagging" (a neologism analogous to "NPOV-tagging" or "civility-tagging") is leading you astray. I won't try to explain it again, since nobody else seems to be getting through. I see in the thread above that you make a fine-drawn distinction between accusing someone of being an anti-semite and accusing them of acting like an anti-semite (= for instance, of "going on an antisemitic rant" and "using anti-semitic slurs"). But that distinction is null, since it goes without saying that you don't have access to Andy's opinions and emotions and aren't commenting on the inside of his head, but on his actions. It's all any of us can do when talking about other people. It's unconscionable to baselessly accuse an editor of antisemitic behaviour and, as recently, of "using thinly veiled racist language" and "persistent use of thinly disguised racist rhetoric", [1] and it needs to stop. If you talk like that again, in any venue, I won't hesitate to block you for persistent personal attacks. Your safest course might be to avoid mentioning (or indirectly referring) to AndyTheGrump again at all, since you can't seem to do it without such attacks, but that's up to you.

The 2014 WikiCup is off to a flying start, with, at time of writing, 138 participants. The is the largest number of participants we have seen since 2010. If you are yet to join the competition, don't worry- the judges have agreed to keep the
signups open for a few more days. By a wide margin, our current leader is newcomer
Godot13 (
submissions), whose set of
14 featured pictures, the first FPs of the competition, was worth 490 points. Here are some more noteworthy scorers:
Featured articles, featured lists, featured topics and featured portals are yet to play a part in the competition. The judges have removed a number of submissions which were deemed ineligible. Typically, we aim to see work on a project, followed by a nomination, followed by promotion, this year. We apologise for any disappointment caused by our strict enforcement this year; we're aiming to keep the competition as fair as possible.
Wikipedians interested in friendly competition may be interested to take part in The Core Contest; unlike the WikiCup, The Core Contest is not about audited content, but, like the WikiCup, it is about article improvement; specifically, The Core Contest is about contribution to some of Wikipedia's most important article. Of course, any work done for The Core Contest, if it leads to a DYK, GA or FA, can earn WikiCup 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. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to help keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

Notes from the
Guild of Copy Editors
The March 2014 backlog elimination drive is a month-long effort to reduce the backlog of articles in need of copyediting. The drive begins on March 1 at 00:00 (UTC) and ends on March 31 at 23:59 (UTC). Our goals are to copyedit all articles tagged in December 2012 and January 2013 and to complete all requests placed in January 2014. Barnstars will be awarded to anyone who copyedits at least one article, and special awards will be given to the top five in the following categories: number of articles, number of words, number of articles over 5,000 words, number of articles tagged in December 2012 and January 2013 and the longest article. We hope to see you there! ![]() – Your drive coordinators: Jonesey95, Baffle gab1978 and Miniapolis To discontinue receiving GOCE newsletters, please remove your name from

We are making a run at a historic clearing of the board at Wikipedia:Disambiguation pages with links/February 2014. Would you like to pitch in and help make this happen? bd2412 T 17:25, 21 February 2014 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited 28th Legislative District (New Jersey), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Robert L. Brown ( 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.

Hi, I wanted to reach out regarding the deletion of the business section. I'm not sure why it was deleted. I thought it would be helpful to begin a business section so if people are looking at the page for more information about what is in the town. I did a search of companies in Bay Head and thought I would try to pick a variety of different types of businesses. If you could provide some suggestions on how to change or improve it, I would very much appreciate it. Thanks! alvb — Preceding undated comment added 16:12, 23 February 2014 (UTC)
The "net effect" of the edit was not to change citation formats. The primary rationale for it was to revert addition of unsourced content and removal of valid content without a stated rationale/edit summary. Of secondary importance were the reversion of violations of WP:SEASON, WP:PAIC and WP:EL, which can clearly be seen by looking at the diff, by reading my edit summary, and/or by reading my message to User:98.109.145.86. Yes, alteration to the citations was one of these secondary aspects of the edit. I changed "Accessed" to "Retrieved" and placed publication dates after the authors because that's how that information is displayed when templates are used, so I figured that that is the correct or predominant way that info should be displayed (and not because of any personal preference on my part as you accused me previously; I used to use "Accessed" when I thought that was the proper term, and only changed it when I noticed the templates did not employ it). Although I don't have time to convert the citations to template form today, I intend to eventually, bu displaying the info that way, it appears identical to how it would appear once that conversion takes place. As far as WP:CITEVAR, I figured I was the primary contributor to that article, though looking through the edit history, I see that you have more edits to it than I do. Would you prefer I convert the citations now to template form, or just revert the citation info to the previous formats? Nightscream ( talk) 05:28, 25 February 2014 (UTC)
I had contacted User:Mark Arsten regarding his deletion of File:New Jersey Dry Town Listing.pdf. He said he would look into it on his talk page. When I went to follow up on his talk page and clicked on the image again, I saw that he had restored it, hadn't told me that he restored it, he had the image nominated for deletion (without notifying anyone) and then the discussion was closed as delete (and deleted) by you based on one incorrect vote. This is not a government document, it is a copy of a government document for which it is unclear that there is any copyright issue whatsoever. NFCC#3 doesn't apply based on minimal usage, nor does 7 (it is referenced in multiple articles), 8 (it's used as the only available source from the state) or 9 (it's used only in article space). Without the image the information is unverifiable in any way as the material is unpublished by the State of New Jersey. May I ask you to reconsider your deletion of the image once and for all.

Hello Alansohn:
WikiProject AFC is holding a month long
Backlog Elimination Drive!
The goal of this drive is to eliminate the backlog of unreviewed articles. The drive is running from March 1, 2014 to March 31, 2014.
Awards will be given out for all reviewers participating in the drive in the form of barnstars at the end of the drive.
There is a backlog of over 2700 articles, so start reviewing articles! Visit the
drive's page and help out!
And so ends the most competitive first round we have ever seen, with 38 points required to qualify for round 2. Last year, 19 points secured a place; before that, 11 (2012) or 8 (2011) were enough. This is both a blessing and a curse. While it shows the vigourous good health of the competition, it also means that we have already lost many worthy competitors. Our top three scorers were:
Other competitors of note include:
After such a competitive first round, expect the second round to also be fiercely fought. Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 1 but before the start of round 2 can be claimed in round 2, but please do not update your submission page until March (UTC). 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 equally.
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. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to help keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

A quick update as we are half way through round two of this year's competition. WikiCup newcomer
Godot13 (
submissions) (Pool E) leads, having produced a massive set of featured pictures for
Silver certificate (United States), an article also brought to featured list status. Former finalist
Adam Cuerden (
submissions) (Pool G) is in second, which he owes mostly to his work with historical images, including a number of images from
Urania's Mirror, an article also brought to good status. 2010 champion (Pool C) is third overall, thanks to contributions relating to naval history, including the newly featured
Japanese battleship Nagato.
Cliftonian (
submissions), who currently leads Pool A and is sixth overall, takes the title for the highest scoring individual article of the competition so far, with the top importance featured article
Ian Smith.
With 26 people having already scored over 100 points, it is likely that well over 100 points will be needed to secure a place in round 3. Recent years have required 123 (2013), 65 (2012), 41 (2011) and 100 (2010). Remember that only 64 will progress to round 3 at the end of April. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page; if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points equally.

Hi Alansohn, I'm sending you this message because you're one of about 300 users who have recently edited an article in the umbrella category of open educational resources (OER) (or open education). In evaluating several projects we've been working on (e.g. the WIKISOO course and WikiProject Open), my colleague Pete Forsyth and I have wondered who chooses to edit OER-related articles and why. Regardless of whether you've taken the WIKISOO course yourself - and/or never even heard the term OER before - we'd be extremely grateful for your participation in this brief, anonymous survey before 27 April. No personal data is being collected. If you have any ideas or questions, please get in touch. My talk page awaits. Thanks for your support! - Sara FB ( talk) 20:35, 23 April 2014 (UTC)
Greetings fellow disambiguator! Remember back in February when we made history by clearing the board for the first time ever, for the monthly disambiguation contest? Let's do it again in May! I personally will be aiming to lead the board next month, but for anyone who thinks they can put in a better effort, I will give a $10 Amazon gift card to any editor who scores more disambiguation points in May. Also, I will be setting up a one-day contest later in the month, and will try to set up more prizes and other ways to make this a fun and productive month. Cheers! bd2412 T 18:46, 28 April 2014 (UTC)
I hate to say this, but your addition of County-specific maps to Morris County, New Jersey sites on the National Register of Historic Places have created a broken, and oddly formatted category, specifically, the Category:Historic districts in USA New Jersey Morris County.

Round 3 of the 2014 WikiCup has just begun; 32 competitors remain. Pool G's
Adam Cuerden (
submissions) was Round 2's highest scorer, with a large number of featured picture credits. In March/April, he restored star charts from
Urania's Mirror, lithographs of various warships (such as
SMS Gefion) and assorted other historical media. Second overall was Pool E's
Godot13 (
submissions), whose featured list
Silver certificate (United States) contains dozens of scans of banknotes recently promoted to featured picture status. Third was Pool G's
ChrisGualtieri (
submissions) who has produced a large number of good articles, many, including
Falkner Island, on Connecticut-related topics. Other successful participants included
Cliftonian (
submissions), who saw three articles (including the top-importance
Ian Smith) through featured article candidacies, and
Caponer (
submissions), who saw three lists (including the beautifully-illustrated
list of plantations in West Virginia) through featured list candidacies. High-importance good articles promoted this round include
narwhal from
Reid,iain james (
submissions),
tiger from
Cwmhiraeth (
submissions) and
The Lion King from
Igordebraga (
submissions). We also saw our first featured topic points of the competition, awarded to
Czar (
submissions) and
Red Phoenix (
submissions) for their work on the
Sega Genesis topic. No points have been claimed so far for good topics or featured portals.
192 was our lowest qualifying score, again showing that this WikiCup is the most competitive ever. In previous years, 123 (2013), 65 (2012), 41 (2011) or 100 (2010) secured a place in Round 3. Pool H was the strongest performer, with all but one of its members advancing, while only the two highest scorers in Pools G and F advanced. At the end of June, 16 users will advance into the semi-finals.

Hi, thanks for your message. As I understand it, those guidelines you link to refer to stand-alone lists. The article in question is about Ridgewood, New Jersey, which then happens to also display some notable residents. Basically we tend to be a bit more selective in such instances (and much less so for a stand-alone list) and "no redirects" is a useful way to achieve this. I'm not sure if it's a policy as such, but you'll often see the "no redirects" instruction listed when editing sections such as that one, particularly on high-profile articles. Clementi would probably make the cut for a complete stand-alone list of residents (assuming he has a significant link to the area), but he is likely to be deleted from the Ridgewood article itself, particularly when we consider that the article is already of a substantial size. If he is especially significant to the area in question then a case for inclusion probably could be made, though in such instances it's often better to integrate the event into the article. To be honest the sheer number of names still seems to be a little long to me, and if anything probably needs further trimming if at all possible. This issue is only likely to get worse in future and I think in the long run a stand-alone list is going to be required, with just the very most notable people remaining listed on the main Ridgewood article. I note there's still one red link still in place so I suggest we remove that as a first step. Anyway, I hope this explanation makes the matter a little clearer and thanks once again for your message.-- Shakehandsman ( talk) 04:54, 30 May 2014 (UTC)

After an extremely close race, Round 3 is over. 244 points secured a place in Round 4, which is comparable to previous years- 321 was required in 2013, while 243 points were needed in 2012. Pool C's
Godot13 (
submissions) was the round's highest scorer, mostly due to a 32 featured pictures, including both scans and photographs. Also from Pool C,
Casliber (
submissions) finished second overall, claiming three featured articles, including the high-importance
Grus (constellation). Third place was Pool B's , whose contributions included featured articles
Russian battleship Poltava (1894) and
Russian battleship Peresvet. Pool C saw the highest number of participants advance, with six out of eight making it to the next round.
The round saw this year's first featured portal, with
Sven Manguard (
submissions) taking
Portal:Literature to featured status. The round also saw the first good topic points, thanks to
12george1 (
submissions) and the
2013 Atlantic hurricane season. This means that all content types have been claimed this year. Other contributions of note this round include a featured topic on
Maya Angelou's autobiographies from
Figureskatingfan (
submissions), a good article on the noted Czech footballer
Tomáš Rosický from
Cloudz679 (
submissions) and
a now-featured video game screenshot, freely released due to the efforts of
Sven Manguard (
submissions).
The judges would like to remind participants to update submission pages promptly. This means that content can be checked, and allows those following the competition (including those participating) to keep track of scores effectively. This round has seen discussion about various aspects of the WikiCup's rules and procedures. Those interested in the competition can be assured that formal discussions about how next year's competition will work will be opened shortly, and all are welcome to voice their views then.

Alansohn, back in June Gloucester County College was officially renamed Rowan College at Gloucester County. I tried to make the appropriate page move today, but a newbie editor who doesn't know about preserving edit history had written a new (albeit short) article on Rowan College at Gloucester County, thus preventing the page move. You're an administrator who can override this, correct? It's literally the same school, with the same people, and nothing about it is different (for Wikipedia purposes) other than a name change. Can you move "Gloucester County College" over "Rowan College at Gloucester County"? Jrcla2 ( talk) 17:32, 7 July 2014 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Mercer County, New Jersey, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Professional Indoor Football League. 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.

Since you've done some work on literally Everything, I was wondering if you could help build an article on the rather abstract concept of Something. Cheers! bd2412 T 03:23, 27 August 2014 (UTC)
The final of the 2014 WikiCup begins in a few short minutes! Our eight finalists are listed below, along with their placement in Round 4:
We say goodbye to this year's semi-finalists.
Matty.007 (
submissions),
ThaddeusB (
submissions),
WikiRedactor (
submissions),
Figureskatingfan (
submissions),
Yellow Evan (
submissions),
Prism (
submissions) and
Cloudz679 (
submissions) have all performed well to reach this stage of the competition, and we hope they will all be joining us again next year.
There are two upcoming competitions unrelated to the WikiCup which may be of interest to those who receive this newsletter. The Stub Contest will run through September, and revolves around expanding stub articles, especially high-importance or old stubs. In addition, a proposal has been made for a new competition, the GA Cup, which the organisers plan to run next year. This competition is based on the WikiCup and aims to reduce the good article review backlog.
There is now a thread for brainstorming on how next year's WikiCup competition should work. Please come along and share your thoughts- What works? What doesn't work? What needs changing? Signups for next year's competition will be open soon; we will be in touch. If, at this stage of the competition, you are keen to help the with the WikiCup, please do what you can to participate in review processes. Our finalists will find things much easier if the backlogs at good article candidates, featured article candidates, featured picture candidates and the rest are kept at a minimum. As ever, 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.
