Hello everyone, and welcome to the 24th issue of the Wikipedia Scripts++ Newsletter, covering all our favorite new and updated user scripts since 24 December 2021. Uh-huh, we're finally covering the good ones among the rest! Aren't you excited? Remember to include a link in double brackets to the script's .js page when you install the script, so that we can see who uses the script in WhatLinksHere! The ScriptInstaller gadget automatically does this. Aaron Liu ( talk) 01:00, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
Got anything good? Tell us about your new, improved, old, or messed-up script
here!
After earthly attempts at improving the original have failed...
Unfortunately, this section has remained nearly identical. Help us out here!
Yes, we're just doing 'em as we go now. Thanks for reading through this looong issue, if you did! I'm sure this'll send a record for the longest issue ev-ah. You may need to wait even longer for the last issue, as our reserve of old-y and goodie scripts have ran out... We encourage you to try and do some of the requests or improvement tasks. See you in Summer, hopefully!

I want to nominate the John Schrank article for FA and I need a mentor. I have a few GAs and this one was just promoted to GA today. I feel like you are one of the best editors I have seen on Wikipedia. If you are too busy I understand. Bruxton ( talk) 04:04, 5 March 2024 (UTC)
The MTA essentially treats Borough Hall a bit like an express station even though it is not configured as such...
Well, maybe because everything south from Fulton Street is treated as an extension of the Eastern Parkway line, even though it probably is not.
I guess that is why you reverted me. I probably should understand the history better before editing more NYC Subway articles. Awesome Aasim 02:00, 5 March 2024 (UTC)

The article for South Bronx has long been clear that "geographic definitions of the South Bronx have evolved and are disputed". It has listed neighborhoods that are agreed-upon components and some where there is disagreement. A very new editor has made a series of edits that removes some of the iffy neighborhoods and puts in a hard and fast definition that "most consider any neighborhood west of the Bronx River and south of the Cross Bronx Expressway the South Bronx". The editor did not include a source and it comes off worded as OR. I have found sources like this one in which "The South Bronx was defined as all communities south of the Cross-Bronx Expressway and west of the Bronx River" and other sources of varying reliability seem to exist that would support the claim. However, the edits conflict with some of the sources in the article and I wanted to check in with you on your sense of how this should be handled rather than make another revert.

Hi, just had a quick question on WikiCup scoring. How would Featured Article Reassessment reviews and rescuing be scored, or would they not be counted at all? In this sense I'm just talking about those reassessments which have active discussions going on. Could someone get 1/2 or 1/4th the points for a FA if they manage to rescue an FA about to be delisted? Looking forward to your response. Matarisvan ( talk) 09:28, 9 March 2024 (UTC)

Greetings, EG. Besides being seemingly the only guy on Wikipedia with a pompous name who actually lives up to it, you are also equally exceptional both in your constructive, compromising approach to advancing the encyclopedia and the help you offer others allowing them to give their best. That said, can you help me out a little bit, please. I know you know how to "condense" multiple citations (in a rare case where a whole posse of them actually isn't citation overkill...I'm good with that template), like the one in the Early life and education section of the article on Sam Ervin. You'll see it...it jumps right out, a whole batch of identical citations for the various sessions of the North Carolina legislature he was elected to early in his political career.
How does one "collapse" them into a single "numbered" citation? I promise I will try to learn and remember the mechanics if you'll only show me how. Puhleeeeease. 2601:196:180:DC0:D898:A82A:B33E:184F ( talk) 20:37, 13 March 2024 (UTC)

Hey there! This is to let you know that phase I of the 2024 requests for adminship (RfA) review is now no longer accepting new proposals. Lots of proposals remain open for discussion, and the current round of review looks to be on a good track towards making significant progress towards improving RfA's structure and environment. I'd like to give my heartfelt thanks to everyone who has given us their idea for change to make RfA better, and the same to everyone who has given the necessary feedback to improve those ideas. The following proposals remain open for discussion:
To read proposals that were closed as unsuccessful, please see Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review/Phase I/Closed proposals. You are cordially invited once again to participate in the open discussions; when phase I ends, phase II will review the outcomes of trial proposals and refine the implementation details of other proposals. Another notification will be sent out when this phase begins, likely with the first successful close of a major proposal. Happy editing! theleekycauldron ( talk • she/her), via:

Hello, I work for Steven Rattner and I'm looking for someone to implement some changes I've proposed at the Talk page of Steve's investment firm Willett Advisors, which handles Michael Bloomberg's personal and philanthropic funds (see Talk:Willett Advisors#Updates to the article). I see that you belong to WP:NYC and that you've contributed to Michael Bloomberg's article over the years, so I thought you would be an appropriate person to take a look at my suggestion. Initially an editor responded and asked for clarification, but he has basically been inactive over the past two months and has not followed up. I would appreciate if you would take a look.

You reverted my addition of "City" to "Bronx, New York", saying it did not add anything. Probably not to New Yorkers, but not everybody knows that the Bronx is part of New York City (and not its own city).

Hello everyone, and welcome to the 24th issue of the Wikipedia Scripts++ Newsletter, covering all our favorite new and updated user scripts since 24 December 2021. Uh-huh, we're finally covering the good ones among the rest! Aren't you excited? Remember to include a link in double brackets to the script's .js page when you install the script, so that we can see who uses the script in WhatLinksHere! The ScriptInstaller gadget automatically does this. Aaron Liu ( talk) 01:00, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
Got anything good? Tell us about your new, improved, old, or messed-up script
here!
After earthly attempts at improving the original have failed...
Unfortunately, this section has remained nearly identical. Help us out here!
Yes, we're just doing 'em as we go now. Thanks for reading through this looong issue, if you did! I'm sure this'll send a record for the longest issue ev-ah. You may need to wait even longer for the last issue, as our reserve of old-y and goodie scripts have ran out... We encourage you to try and do some of the requests or improvement tasks. See you in Summer, hopefully!

The MTA essentially treats Borough Hall a bit like an express station even though it is not configured as such...
Well, maybe because everything south from Fulton Street is treated as an extension of the Eastern Parkway line, even though it probably is not.
I guess that is why you reverted me. I probably should understand the history better before editing more NYC Subway articles. Awesome Aasim 02:00, 5 March 2024 (UTC)

The article for South Bronx has long been clear that "geographic definitions of the South Bronx have evolved and are disputed". It has listed neighborhoods that are agreed-upon components and some where there is disagreement. A very new editor has made a series of edits that removes some of the iffy neighborhoods and puts in a hard and fast definition that "most consider any neighborhood west of the Bronx River and south of the Cross Bronx Expressway the South Bronx". The editor did not include a source and it comes off worded as OR. I have found sources like this one in which "The South Bronx was defined as all communities south of the Cross-Bronx Expressway and west of the Bronx River" and other sources of varying reliability seem to exist that would support the claim. However, the edits conflict with some of the sources in the article and I wanted to check in with you on your sense of how this should be handled rather than make another revert.

Hi, just had a quick question on WikiCup scoring. How would Featured Article Reassessment reviews and rescuing be scored, or would they not be counted at all? In this sense I'm just talking about those reassessments which have active discussions going on.

Greetings, EG. Besides being seemingly the only guy on Wikipedia with a pompous name who actually lives up to it, you are also equally exceptional both in your constructive, compromising approach to advancing the encyclopedia and the help you offer others allowing them to give their best. That said, can you help me out a little bit, please. I know you know how to "condense" multiple citations (in a rare case where a whole posse of them actually isn't citation overkill...I'm good with that template), like the one in the Early life and education section of the article on Sam Ervin. You'll see it...it jumps right out, a whole batch of identical citations for the various sessions of the North Carolina legislature he was elected to early in his political career.
How does one "collapse" them into a single "numbered" citation? I promise I will try to learn and remember the mechanics if you'll only show me how. Puhleeeeease. 2601:196:180:DC0:D898:A82A:B33E:184F ( talk) 20:37, 13 March 2024 (UTC)

Hey there! This is to let you know that phase I of the 2024 requests for adminship (RfA) review is now no longer accepting new proposals. Lots of proposals remain open for discussion, and the current round of review looks to be on a good track towards making significant progress towards improving RfA's structure and environment. I'd like to give my heartfelt thanks to everyone who has given us their idea for change to make RfA better, and the same to everyone who has given the necessary feedback to improve those ideas. The following proposals remain open for discussion:
To read proposals that were closed as unsuccessful, please see Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review/Phase I/Closed proposals. You are cordially invited once again to participate in the open discussions; when phase I ends, phase II will review the outcomes of trial proposals and refine the implementation details of other proposals. Another notification will be sent out when this phase begins, likely with the first successful close of a major proposal. Happy editing! theleekycauldron ( talk • she/her), via:

I see that you belong to WP:NYC and that you've contributed to Michael Bloomberg's article over the years, so I thought you would be an appropriate person to take a look at my suggestion.

You reverted my addition of "City" to "Bronx, New York", saying it did not add anything. Probably not to New Yorkers, but not everybody knows that the Bronx is part of New York City (and not its own city).

The Core Contest—Wikipedia's most exciting contest—returns again this year from April 15 to May 31. The goal: to improve vital or other core articles, with a focus on those in the worst state of disrepair. Editing can be done individually, but in the past groups have also successfully competed. There is £300 of prize money divided among editors who provide the "best additive encyclopedic value". Signups are open now. Cheers from the judges, Femke, Casliber, Aza24. – Aza24 (talk) 02:20, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
