Hai, I have split Kerala State Film Award (Special Jury Award) per the discussion, and opened a similar discussion to split the article National Film Award – Special Jury Award / Special Mention (Feature Film). Would you care to join.? -- Let There Be Sunshine ( talk) 09:41, 14 November 2017 (UTC)
With the draw upcoming, I believe the tournament is now close enough to warrant an article on the final. I have also added a substantial section on the venue, which adds a lot of useful information not included on the main World Cup article. S.A. Julio ( talk) 07:07, 17 November 2017 (UTC)
So the 2017 WikiCup has come to an end. Congratulations to the winner, to the other finalists and to all those who took part. 177 contestants signed up, more than usual, but not all of them submitted entries in the first round. Were editors attracted by the cash prizes offered for the first time this year, or were these irrelevant? Do the rules and scoring need changing for the 2018 WikiCup? If you have a view on these or other matters, why not join in the WikiCup discussion about next year's contest?

Amakuru, you have closed the request for comment at Plasma (physics), saying "there is a rough consensus for version 2, and something like that has already been inserted into the article". And yet what is "already inserted into the article" is, essentially, version 1, which only received the support of one editor. This is a technical article, and technical distinctions are important. I invite you to reconsider your summary and closure of the request for comment. Thank you, — Preceding unsigned comment added by Attic Salt ( talk • contribs) 13:36, 20 November 2017 (UTC)

The survey should take 10-20 minutes to answer, and your individual responses will not be made public. The survey is delivered through Google Forms. The privacy policy for the survey describes how and when Wikimedia collects, uses, and shares the information we receive from survey participants and can be found here:

Hello, Amakuru. Voting in the 2017 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23.59 on Sunday, 10 December. All users who registered an account before Saturday, 28 October 2017, made at least 150 mainspace edits before Wednesday, 1 November 2017 and are not currently blocked are eligible to vote. Users with alternate accounts may only vote once.
The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.
If you wish to participate in the 2017 election, please review the candidates and submit your choices on the voting page. MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 18:42, 3 December 2017 (UTC)
Hi, could you review your decision on the Henry Bolton move request Talk:Henry_Bolton_(British_politician)? Page usage for Henry Bolton has settled down to a level of about 300 views per day which is comparable to major front bench members of the government in the UK such as Jeremy Hunt, Liam Fox, Greg Clark, Chris Grayling and Sajid Javid. His opinions on Brexit, immigration, security and other topics are likely to remain of high interest because of his career experience and position as leader of UKIP. None of the other people on the disambiguation page come close to this level of interest. Even if his page views were to drop by a factor of ten he would still be the primary topic. I know there was some opposition to the move but these have to be weighted according to how well they addressed the relevant Wikipedia policies i.e. WP:Primary topic.

Thanks for trying again on these overcapped titles. Will you be working on the post-move cleanup of those? Need help? Dicklyon ( talk) 01:07, 7 December 2017 (UTC)
I did a pass over African-American civil rights movement (1954–1968). It's a huge article, so a lot of work, trying not to downcase reference titles while downcasing all the overcapped "Civil Rights X" in the text. More later. Dicklyon ( talk) 23:31, 7 December 2017 (UTC)

Why have you moved a move-protected article which has no RM discussion? I specifically stated on the talk page that the article should not be moved without a RM (see article talk page and User talk:Mjroots/Archive/Admin#Newcourt (Exeter) railway station where I asked you on 29 September 2016 to open a RM discussion. You failed to open such discussion. Please return it to the previous title. Mjroots ( talk) 13:58, 12 January 2018 (UTC)
Hello and thanks for your work on standardising station article names. Are you planning any template changes? I ask because I've recently been helping out with replacing "Foo Railway Station" by "Foo railway station" in article titles and elsewhere. I've created the necessary redirects where missing and am ready to start editing templates to expect lower case titles. It's unlikely to affect the UK much but I just wanted to make you aware in case we can find some synergies, or at least avoid tripping over each other. Thanks, Certes ( talk) 14:19, 16 January 2018 (UTC)
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Joshua Claybourn 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/Joshua Claybourn (2nd nomination) 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.

Thanks for your clarification of what this is about: I didn't know that there was no general article on civil rights movements. I removed the whole bit on my "oppose", since I didn't know how else to remove my vote. I respect what has already been said there and know too little about civil rights movements worldwide to take a position here. Jzsj ( talk) 14:16, 19 February 2018 (UTC)
After your last comment, I've got nothing to add, and that's saying something. By the way, I think what you said there lays the groundwork for a solid move review. It's apparent the closers really didn't even get the objection to the current title. -- В²C ☎ 21:21, 28 February 2018 (UTC)

Hello Amakuru,
thanks for your good work on the map of roads: /info/en/?search=File:RwandaRoads.jpg Fortunately it has become outdated, as more roads have become paved. E.g. the road between Rubavu and Karongi (btw city names should also be updated) and possibly between Karongi and Kamembe (not sure about this). Also the notice in the bottom right is not correct anymore. A naming system has been introduced to all National and District Roads. I would appreciate, if you could update the image, as I will update the article on transport in Rwanda.

Hi there! I wanted to ask you if this article called "Palestine Airways" was needed to lock behind a 30-500 request.
It is supposed to be used against when it comes to the Israeli-Palestine conflict but this article takes place during British Palestine, before the modern states of Israel & Palestine existed.
I feel like there is an abuse of power being used and the revision history proves my point: https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Palestine_Airways&action=history

The second round of the 2018 WikiCup has now finished. Most contestants who advanced to the next round scored upwards of 100 points, but two with just 10 points managed to scrape through into round 3. Our top scorers in the last round were:
So far contestants have achieved twelve featured articles between them and a splendid 124 good articles. Commendably, 326 GARs have been completed during the course of the 2018 WikiCup, so the backlog of articles awaiting GA review has been reduced as a result of contestants' activities. As we enter the third round, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 2 but before the start of round 3 can be claimed in round 3. Remember too that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them. When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met; most of the GARs are fine, but a few have been a bit skimpy.
If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required).
