SwisterTwister talk 02:26, 2 November 2017 (UTC)Hi Eddie, Thanks for reviewing my first attempt at starting an article from scratch. I assume the first thing that made you decline it was not being sourced? Is that correct? Is there anything else that I can do to ensure it is accepted? I trust that Craig Chaquico himself is a notable musician, song writer, composer, and producer himself with Grammy awards with proper citations? I'm open to all suggestions.

In re: Wikipedia:VisualEditor/Feedback/Archive 2017 1#Signpost, there have been a few discussions about enabling the visual editor for the Wikipedia: namespace. The main deterrent for this wiki is the presence of ANI in that namespace. However, there are a couple of requests (see links in the corner) that would probably also work for your purposes. I'm sorry to say that I can't promise that any of them will happen any time soon, but if you subscribe to the tasks, then you'll get notifications (e-mail from Phabricator, not WP:Echo notifications) when/if there is any progress.

How about combining a Barnstar with a Christmas Card? That is why this message is appearing on your talk page.

Hi Eddie,
Thank you for your feedback on my first draft. I am completely aware that autobiographies are discouraged by Wikipedia but this is to certify this all the information provided by me was factually correct.
After my recent contribution as an Actor on an Indian Television Channel, it has been brought to my notice that audience has started looking me up on google(thus, in turn, wikipedia) and I, would not appreciate them coming across wrong information about me. It is therefore only apt that the such traffic meets with right and correct information as it is going to change their perception of me or my show, 'Woh Apna Sa' which airs regularly on ZeeTv(India).
I am, hereby, including the links to the episodes in which I have enacted hoping it would add to my credibility and links to my social networking sites. I am well aware the social networking sites are not recognized by editors such as your self but I unfortunately do not have other options as of right now.
'Woh Apna Sa' Episode list reference: [1] (Verified Offical Zee Online Streaming Website) [2]
Episode a: [3] Episode b: [4] Episode c: [5]
Here is my reference to the shortfilm 'suffer' which starred me as its lead cast: Official Short Film: [6] Official trailer: [7]
My official Social Netwroking Sites:
Eddie, I am aware I might not have all the knowledge to draft a perfect well acceptable article on myself. But agreeing the basic fact that Wikipedia is an online encyclopedia and the Indian audience who will look me on google, they will expect to find information about me. Other websites might give them just that but I'd rather have them get correct information as in my profession incorrect information leaves me vulnerable and my career as an actor in jeopardy. I know that your read this message and understand the value and potential of this message. I would therefore like the editors, such as yourself to assist me in converting this draft into a successful article and help me present right information about myself.

Thanks - I've rewritten the introduction to the Boundary Commission quite extensively in response to your observations (while still trying to getting too far into the details). I've added a number of citations, including a 1940 obituary by the Institute of Journalists that better sources the first point. As regards images, the sepia photo of Fisher with the Boundary Commission (which I also added to the Irish Boundary Commission article) is the only fair use image of him I was ever able to find. There's later ones that are still in copyright - this one is only fair use because it's been released by the National Library of Ireland. I understand that he went back to the Bar in London after the war but I've no reliable sources for that, so I've said nothing. On "broad in its coverage" - do you have anything specific in mind post my rewrite? Fiachra10003 ( talk) 23:09, 25 December 2017 (UTC)

It can be a general contest or just a women contest. A general US wide contest might be a bit big in scope so could be a general one for New england area perhaps and give largest prizes for women bios. I'm sure you'll' find somebody willing to receive the prize money.

Hi. I'm just curious why you assessed Anastasiya Biseniek as C class and Anna Morozova as start. They are FAR from stubs and much longer than comparable Hero of the Soviet Union biographies in their respective classes. Biseniek is ~20,000 bytes, and there's not much content to add to add to either of them. The reason for the class assignments is so we can find articles to expand and upgrade them. How exactly do you want to see them improved? There are far shorter B-class articles out there, and putting them in lower grades than needed clogs up the stub to start categories with articles that can't be improved as much as those that really need it.

How are you able to assess an article without reading it? -- Molestash ( talk) 23:45, 8 May 2018 (UTC)
Hi,
I noticed your interest in portals. Here is what has been going on behind-the-scenes with them...
Currently, there are about 1500 portals, comprised of 150,000 pages in portal space, the rest beyond the 1500 being subpages. Most of those subpages contain an excerpt, copied and pasted from some article. Such excerpts never change, and they go stale over time (no longer matching the original source material).
The Portal WikiProject was rebooted on April 17th, and has grown to 68 members. We've been busy redesigning the portal model so that portals will not need all those subpages.
The design concept called " selective transclusion", which is used for migrating excerpts (moving them to the base page), does so by displaying part of an article the same as a template. An added benefit of this is that it also keeps them fresh, by always showing the current version of the content that is transcluded.
We are also working on ways to make excerpted content, and listed entries, dynamic, so that the material or links shown automatically change over time without the intervention of an editor. Selected articles, could be set up to change daily, for example, to present a different article each day. This can even be made to show a different article every time a user visits the page. Currently, we can do this from a set list. We're trying to make it so that the list is updated automatically from an external source that is regularly maintained.
Other automated solutions are being sought or developed for each section type of portals. To automatically update and archive news, did you know entries, and so on.
Once we get a fully automated design worked out, it will be applied to all the portals that do not have dedicated maintainers. This will reduce the amount of maintenance they need. A single editor will then be able to watch over far more portals than before, ideally, with each portal taking up only a single page in portal space.
The Portal WikiProject is dedicated to updating, upgrading, and maintaining the entire portal system and every portal in it.
Come check us out, and if you like what you see, feel free to join. — The Transhumanist 05:33, 9 May 2018 (UTC)

SwisterTwister talk 02:26, 2 November 2017 (UTC)Hi Eddie, Thanks for reviewing my first attempt at starting an article from scratch. I assume the first thing that made you decline it was not being sourced? Is that correct? Is there anything else that I can do to ensure it is accepted? I trust that Craig Chaquico himself is a notable musician, song writer, composer, and producer himself with Grammy awards with proper citations? I'm open to all suggestions.

In re: Wikipedia:VisualEditor/Feedback/Archive 2017 1#Signpost, there have been a few discussions about enabling the visual editor for the Wikipedia: namespace. The main deterrent for this wiki is the presence of ANI in that namespace. However, there are a couple of requests (see links in the corner) that would probably also work for your purposes. I'm sorry to say that I can't promise that any of them will happen any time soon, but if you subscribe to the tasks, then you'll get notifications (e-mail from Phabricator, not WP:Echo notifications) when/if there is any progress.

How about combining a Barnstar with a Christmas Card? That is why this message is appearing on your talk page. Simultaneously and at the same time, this barnstar is conferred upon you because during this past year you worked and contributed your time to improve the encyclopedia. You also have received far too little recognition for your contributions. In addition, this is a small attempt at spreading holiday cheer. I've appreciated all the things that you have done for me.

Hi Eddie,
Thank you for your feedback on my first draft. I am completely aware that autobiographies are discouraged by Wikipedia but this is to certify this all the information provided by me was factually correct.
After my recent contribution as an Actor on an Indian Television Channel, it has been brought to my notice that audience has started looking me up on google(thus, in turn, wikipedia) and I, would not appreciate them coming across wrong information about me. It is therefore only apt that the such traffic meets with right and correct information as it is going to change their perception of me or my show, 'Woh Apna Sa' which airs regularly on ZeeTv(India).
I am, hereby, including the links to the episodes in which I have enacted hoping it would add to my credibility and links to my social networking sites. I am well aware the social networking sites are not recognized by editors such as your self but I unfortunately do not have other options as of right now.
'Woh Apna Sa' Episode list reference: [1] (Verified Offical Zee Online Streaming Website) [2]
Episode a: [3] Episode b: [4] Episode c: [5]
Here is my reference to the shortfilm 'suffer' which starred me as its lead cast: Official Short Film: [6] Official trailer: [7]
My official Social Netwroking Sites:
Eddie, I am aware I might not have all the knowledge to draft a perfect well acceptable article on myself. But agreeing the basic fact that Wikipedia is an online encyclopedia and the Indian audience who will look me on google, they will expect to find information about me. Other websites might give them just that but I'd rather have them get correct information as in my profession incorrect information leaves me vulnerable and my career as an actor in jeopardy. I know that your read this message and understand the value and potential of this message. I would therefore like the editors, such as yourself to assist me in converting this draft into a successful article and help me present right information about myself.

Thanks - I've rewritten the introduction to the Boundary Commission quite extensively in response to your observations (while still trying to getting too far into the details). I've added a number of citations, including a 1940 obituary by the Institute of Journalists that better sources the first point. As regards images, the sepia photo of Fisher with the Boundary Commission (which I also added to the Irish Boundary Commission article) is the only fair use image of him I was ever able to find. There's later ones that are still in copyright - this one is only fair use because it's been released by the National Library of Ireland. I understand that he went back to the Bar in London after the war but I've no reliable sources for that, so I've said nothing. On "broad in its coverage" - do you have anything specific in mind post my rewrite? Fiachra10003 ( talk) 23:09, 25 December 2017 (UTC)

Hi, I've created Wikipedia:Contests/Toolkit/Template based on the very successful women contest model. It will make setting up a new contest really easy.

It can be a general contest or just a women contest. A general US wide contest might be a bit big in scope so could be a general one for New england area perhaps and give largest prizes for women bios. I'm sure you'll' find somebody willing to receive the prize money.

Dear Eddie, thanks for the suggestions. I've to break up that article into some sub-sections; through I'm little protective of that article, since it covers a big gap in history that I have long wanted to fill. Cheers!-- A.S. Brown ( talk) 00:23, 8 May 2018 (UTC)
Hi. I'm just curious why you assessed Anastasiya Biseniek as C class and Anna Morozova as start. They are FAR from stubs and much longer than comparable Hero of the Soviet Union biographies in their respective classes. Biseniek is ~20,000 bytes, and there's not much content to add to add to either of them. The reason for the class assignments is so we can find articles to expand and upgrade them. How exactly do you want to see them improved? There are far shorter B-class articles out there, and putting them in lower grades than needed clogs up the stub to start categories with articles that can't be improved as much as those that really need it. (I.e., articles short in English but a mile long in Russian)-- PlanespotterA320 ( talk) 00:45, 8 May 2018 (UTC)
How are you able to assess an article without reading it? -- Molestash ( talk) 23:45, 8 May 2018 (UTC)
Hi,
I noticed your interest in portals. Here is what has been going on behind-the-scenes with them...
Currently, there are about 1500 portals, comprised of 150,000 pages in portal space, the rest beyond the 1500 being subpages. Most of those subpages contain an excerpt, copied and pasted from some article. Such excerpts never change, and they go stale over time (no longer matching the original source material).
The Portal WikiProject was rebooted on April 17th, and has grown to 68 members. We've been busy redesigning the portal model so that portals will not need all those subpages.
The design concept called " selective transclusion", which is used for migrating excerpts (moving them to the base page), does so by displaying part of an article the same as a template. An added benefit of this is that it also keeps them fresh, by always showing the current version of the content that is transcluded.
We are also working on ways to make excerpted content, and listed entries, dynamic, so that the material or links shown automatically change over time without the intervention of an editor. Selected articles, could be set up to change daily, for example, to present a different article each day. This can even be made to show a different article every time a user visits the page. Currently, we can do this from a set list. We're trying to make it so that the list is updated automatically from an external source that is regularly maintained.
Other automated solutions are being sought or developed for each section type of portals. To automatically update and archive news, did you know entries, and so on.
Once we get a fully automated design worked out, it will be applied to all the portals that do not have dedicated maintainers. This will reduce the amount of maintenance they need. A single editor will then be able to watch over far more portals than before, ideally, with each portal taking up only a single page in portal space.
The Portal WikiProject is dedicated to updating, upgrading, and maintaining the entire portal system and every portal in it.
