Hi there. I have favor to ask, but if you are too busy on wiki or IRL then just let me know. Can you possibly archive the events from WikiWomen's History Month and make an archive page like you did for 2012? This would help me so much in preparing to announce the third year of WWHM. Thanks Jason for considering this :) SarahStierch ( talk) 19:11, 2 January 2014 (UTC)

Hi, AB. Although you didn't ask for a reply to your post here last month (now moved to your archive), I always did intend to reply, but I've just had very little time for any Wikipedia editing over the last month (just look at how few contributions I've made this month), especially non-urgent ones or ones taking more than a few seconds. Sorry to disappoint you with my lack of interest in participating. I definitely agree that "having pictures from all times of the year can be valuable". However, photo campaigns that are successful (generate a lot of new photo uploads for Wikipedia) end up, by their very nature, creating a disproportionate amount of content from one time of the year. Although that's not a problem for indoor subjects or campaigns focused on a particular time of year (e.g. Christmas), it is a drawback for campaigns for photos of outdoor subjects such as the Portland Streetcar. In the winter, all the trees are bare of leaves, the sky gray, colors dull, etc. (True, bare trees can actually help in views of certain historic buildings that are heavily obscured by trees, but those are the exception.)
That gives you a little more info. on why I was slightly critical of the timing. However, there's another issue for me – and this one carries no criticism at all, but I figure you might want to know. Although I was a big contributor in the Wikipedia Takes Portland 2013 campaign, I'm generally not going to be interested in additional photo campaigns for this reason: I'm mainly only interested in uploading photos to Commons when there are gaps in coverage, or when I can provide photos that are much better than the existing ones. Although I uploaded 91 images in that NRHP-focused campaign, almost every one of the buildings I photographed were ones that either had no photo available for WP or only one or two relatively poor photos. Except for NRHP-listed Portland bridges (which have additional interest for me, as a bridge fan), I didn't upload large numbers of photos of individual buildings, because the articles (or lists) only needed one or two photos, and I was concentrating on uploading photos which could (mostly) be immediately 'put to use' in a WP article or list. This should not be interpreted as critical of anyone who uploads 30 photos of a single building, not at all, particularly when the photos are high-quality ones such as yours typically are. But that's not something I'm interested in doing. I don't currently see any major "gap" in the photo coverage for the article about the Portland Streetcar (I've already filled any major gaps there), and so I'm not interested in uploading a lot of photos and probably won't upload any right now.

Thanks for uploading File:Rufus Wainwright - Me and Liza.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.
To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description.

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!

Two people agreeing is not a discussion. Sorry. Your reverting saying it has been discussed is wrong but whatever it is your page do whatever you want it will never get any better as there is missing information like a list of all the songs performed in the broadcast which you keep removing as there are songs not featured on the soundtrack and "further discussion" is not an option if you are going to keep reverting and not make a statement on the talk page so please do not tell me to take it there if you are not willing to discuss it there. 184.58.24.163 ( talk) 10:15, 19 February 2014 (UTC)
I would like to change the genre of the soundtrack album in the infobox to Soundtrack, musical theatre and show tune. The AllMusic Guide slots this release and virtually all other musical theatre releases in the Classical genre, even musicals with pop-rock scores and Disney scores too. It's not entirely reliable in classifying its musical theatre recordings. I know that my edits may not have solid grounds. However I've tried again and cited the iTunes album detail page as my source. Hopefully this will be more pleasing and settle the issue. Yip1982 ( talk) 01:38, 17 April 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for your enthusiastic comments about Louise Bryant. I, too, think it would pass GA without much trouble. Not sure I have the patience and stamina for FA; I can see problems (a GIF for the lead photo, for example), an incomplete bibliography, and disagreements among the biographers that I would rather not spend more time sorting out. I will probably try GA, though. As for Mary's Club, I'm at the end of interesting things I can find in the old Oregonians. I wonder if anyone has written a book about strip clubs that might mention Mary's Club. It would be good to find an RS based far from Portland, but I don't know if one exists.

WP:VAMOS says "The names of less well-known artists may not be suitable disambiguation terms", and edits like this and this are unhelpful to the reader as the artists are totally obscure.

@ Another Believer: Just to make sure you understand the situation fully, here are the nine sources I've listed that explicitly state that the album received generally positive reviews: DigitalSpy, Metacritic's weighted consensus of generally favorable, The Huffington Post, Entertainmentwise, YahooMusic, The Southern Digest, Pride Publishing Group, Off the Shelf, Street Insider. STATic has been engaged in this debate for months and has admitted twice that he dislikes Lady Gaga and even made fun of her and her fans, which obviously constitutes WP:Bias. This has been a ridiculous process that had no business lasting as long as it did, but as you can see, the consensus is obviously generally positive.

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.

Hi AB. I read all of the material on the talk page, and I'd best stay out of this. We have worked together so often that I don't think I'm the neutral editor you're seeking. It would be better if an editor who knows nothing about the sculpture and nothing about the editors involved in the disagreement does the peer review. Finetooth ( talk) 17:41, 31 March 2014 (UTC)
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. 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!

Anna Koval (WMF) ( talk) 21:45, 15 April 2014 (UTC)
Can you please help make the word "club" less ambiguous in the lead of Gypsy Restaurant and Velvet Lounge, ideally with a wikilink? Was it a nightclub? A men's club? A dance club? A club with memberships of some sort? I am being deliberately obtuse, but it's not really clear in the article, and it's beyond the scope of copy editing.
Also, do you have any source that gives an establishment date for the restaurant? In or before 1948, clearly, but I didn't see anything before that. Even if "before 1948" is all you have, I'd put that in the infobox. That's a long run.
The pieces about the address changes are somewhat confusing. Could the "In 1963" location be accurately described as "In 1963, the restaurant and lounge moved to its final location, at the intersection..."
And you're right, Cinema 21 definitely needs an article. – Jonesey95 ( talk) 04:31, 17 April 2014 (UTC)

Hi, AB. Although you didn't ask for a reply to your post here last month (now moved to your archive), I always did intend to reply, but I've just had very little time for any Wikipedia editing over the last month (just look at how few contributions I've made this month), especially non-urgent ones or ones taking more than a few seconds. Sorry to disappoint you with my lack of interest in participating. I definitely agree that "having pictures from all times of the year can be valuable". However, photo campaigns that are successful (generate a lot of new photo uploads for Wikipedia) end up, by their very nature, creating a disproportionate amount of content from one time of the year. Although that's not a problem for indoor subjects or campaigns focused on a particular time of year (e.g. Christmas), it is a drawback for campaigns for photos of outdoor subjects such as the Portland Streetcar. In the winter, all the trees are bare of leaves, the sky gray, colors dull, etc. (True, bare trees can actually help in views of certain historic buildings that are heavily obscured by trees, but those are the exception.)
That gives you a little more info. on why I was slightly critical of the timing. However, there's another issue for me – and this one carries no criticism at all, but I figure you might want to know. Although I was a big contributor in the Wikipedia Takes Portland 2013 campaign, I'm generally not going to be interested in additional photo campaigns for this reason: I'm mainly only interested in uploading photos to Commons when there are gaps in coverage, or when I can provide photos that are much better than the existing ones. Although I uploaded 91 images in that NRHP-focused campaign, almost every one of the buildings I photographed were ones that either had no photo available for WP or only one or two relatively poor photos. Except for NRHP-listed Portland bridges (which have additional interest for me, as a bridge fan), I didn't upload large numbers of photos of individual buildings, because the articles (or lists) only needed one or two photos, and I was concentrating on uploading photos which could (mostly) be immediately 'put to use' in a WP article or list. This should not be interpreted as critical of anyone who uploads 30 photos of a single building, not at all, particularly when the photos are high-quality ones such as yours typically are. But that's not something I'm interested in doing. I don't currently see any major "gap" in the photo coverage for the article about the Portland Streetcar (I've already filled any major gaps there), and so I'm not interested in uploading a lot of photos and probably won't upload any right now.

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.

Two people agreeing is not a discussion. Sorry. Your reverting saying it has been discussed is wrong but whatever it is your page do whatever you want it will never get any better as there is missing information like a list of all the songs performed in the broadcast which you keep removing as there are songs not featured on the soundtrack and "further discussion" is not an option if you are going to keep reverting and not make a statement on the talk page so please do not tell me to take it there if you are not willing to discuss it there. 184.58.24.163 ( talk) 10:15, 19 February 2014 (UTC)
I would like to change the genre of the soundtrack album in the infobox to Soundtrack, musical theatre and show tune. The AllMusic Guide slots this release and virtually all other musical theatre releases in the Classical genre, even musicals with pop-rock scores and Disney scores too. It's not entirely reliable in classifying its musical theatre recordings. I know that my edits may not have solid grounds. However I've tried again and cited the iTunes album detail page as my source. Hopefully this will be more pleasing and settle the issue. Yip1982 ( talk) 01:38, 17 April 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for your enthusiastic comments about Louise Bryant. I, too, think it would pass GA without much trouble. Not sure I have the patience and stamina for FA; I can see problems (a GIF for the lead photo, for example), an incomplete bibliography, and disagreements among the biographers that I would rather not spend more time sorting out. I will probably try GA, though. As for Mary's Club, I'm at the end of interesting things I can find in the old Oregonians. I wonder if anyone has written a book about strip clubs that might mention Mary's Club. It would be good to find an RS based far from Portland, but I don't know if one exists. Finetooth ( talk) 20:02, 19 February 2014 (UTC)
WP:VAMOS says "The names of less well-known artists may not be suitable disambiguation terms", and edits like this and this are unhelpful to the reader as the artists are totally obscure. Better to leave them as they are, or if you must tinker, move to "Person (Place statue)". Consistent with what exactly? Johnbod ( talk) 17:08, 21 February 2014 (UTC)
John stop being such a stick-in-the-mud (unless that's one of the 372 words and phrase that MPs are not allowed to use, in which case I'll find something else). How many sculptors does the average Brit know? The typical American might know three, but that would surprise me. Well unless they know the three Alexander Calders. You know that the art (or is it the science) of editing wikipedia is learning to live with other's decisions. I do like your royal "we", very impressive.

@ Another Believer: Just to make sure you understand the situation fully, here are the nine sources I've listed that explicitly state that the album received generally positive reviews: DigitalSpy, Metacritic's weighted consensus of generally favorable, The Huffington Post, Entertainmentwise, YahooMusic, The Southern Digest, Pride Publishing Group, Off the Shelf, Street Insider. STATic has been engaged in this debate for months and has admitted twice that he dislikes Lady Gaga and even made fun of her and her fans, which obviously constitutes WP:Bias. This has been a ridiculous process that had no business lasting as long as it did, but as you can see, the consensus is obviously generally positive.

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!

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited The Circuit Rider, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Salem ( 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.

The article Sexxx Dreams has been proposed for deletion. The proposed deletion notice added to the article should explain why.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your

Hi AB. I read all of the material on the talk page, and I'd best stay out of this. We have worked together so often that I don't think I'm the neutral editor you're seeking. It would be better if an editor who knows nothing about the sculpture and nothing about the editors involved in the disagreement does the peer review. Finetooth ( talk) 17:41, 31 March 2014 (UTC)
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.

Anna Koval (WMF) ( talk) 21:45, 15 April 2014 (UTC)
Can you please help make the word "club" less ambiguous in the lead of Gypsy Restaurant and Velvet Lounge, ideally with a wikilink? Was it a nightclub? A men's club? A dance club? A club with memberships of some sort? I am being deliberately obtuse, but it's not really clear in the article, and it's beyond the scope of copy editing.
Also, do you have any source that gives an establishment date for the restaurant? In or before 1948, clearly, but I didn't see anything before that. Even if "before 1948" is all you have, I'd put that in the infobox. That's a long run.
The pieces about the address changes are somewhat confusing. Could the "In 1963" location be accurately described as "In 1963, the restaurant and lounge moved to its final location, at the intersection..."
And you're right, Cinema 21 definitely needs an article. – Jonesey95 ( talk) 04:31, 17 April 2014 (UTC)
