Dear Pbrks, You're awesome. Thank you for all your work in the Photography workshop this year. You made many images better, and by doing so improved Wikipedia. You even took care of images with only faint watermarks, and I would like to thank you for your work. All the best, Vysotsky ( talk) 16:13, 31 December 2021 (UTC)

I made recent edits to this article for visual clarity, syntax, and to remove non functional table information and would like to know why they were removed. 2604:CA00:128:A52D:0:0:861:1C1A ( talk) 17:16, 16 January 2022 (UTC)
Only the first word in the caption or header should be capitalized (except for proper nouns).
The en dash in a range is always unspaced, except when either or both elements of the range include at least one space, hyphen, or en dash.
In article text, do not use a capital letter after a hyphen except for a proper name.
one should generally avoid providing external links to... Any site that does not provide a unique resource beyond what the article would contain if it became a featured article. Moreover, Liquipedia is user-generated content and cannot be used as a source (also it is an unreliable source; see video-game reliable sources).
In general, the first mention of a particular currency should use its full, unambiguous signifier (e.g. A$52), with subsequent references using just the appropriate symbol (e.g. $88), unless this would be unclear.
I assure you that I have no conflict of interest. Frustration with a rather obsessive immature heckler reddit group, yes. Conflict of interest, no. I can tell that they seem to ache to add personal commentary on why they think this system is inferior to their favorites and the people who run it [Intellivision Entertainment] losers. I am not affiliated with Intellivision Entertainment, have no reason to edit on their behalf, except common decency, and do not care if it succeeds or not, except as a novelty or alternative gaming entity, if it is deserving. Daltonsatom ( talk) 22:58, 21 January 2022 (UTC)
It is, on some very modest scale, a topic of controversy, in that it's super-fans, haters and other vocal parties are small in number. Daltonsatom ( talk) 23:16, 21 January 2022 (UTC)
As far as images, the article had no images. I tried to put up one of the console and the unique controller and it got taken down and I was told I needed ones owned by the owners. So, I bugged Intellivision a number of times to send me something of the console and controller, and that is what they contributed. I was told the guy who posted it wasn't the official owner and they took it down. I spent a lot of time figuring out the paperwork to certify it was permitted by it's owner and someone still tried to take it down, but, having the documentation, I was able to have it retained. So, after the effort involved, you can see why I might not care to have it removed. I really don't want to try to start from scratch on another image. Daltonsatom ( talk) 23:51, 21 January 2022 (UTC)
Hi, I noticed you replaced the logo at Sustainable_Australia with a newer version on the 14th of January. A comment was added about using a transparent image. The previous version included the slogan #RedefiningGrowth. This image needs to be restored. You can see it is currently in use at https://www.sustainableaustralia.org.au/ . If you wish to make the December 13th version transparent, that is fine. Teraplane ( talk) 22:16, 23 January 2022 (UTC)
Logos that contain slogans should be omitted in favour of equivalent logos that do not. The slogans can be described in the article's prose, or the article's prose and infobox (not in the infobox alone).Let me know if you have any questions. – Pbrks ( t • c) 22:25, 23 January 2022 (UTC)
Hi, do you think AC Monza Team eSports should also be moved to AC Monza Team Esports (or AC Monza Team esports)? "eSports" seems to be the specific spelling the team uses, though. Nehme 1499 19:48, 30 January 2022 (UTC)
Hello, what is the proper way to reference an official recording of an esports match? Specifically for League of Legends, Riot Games has both an official site [1] and an official YouTube channel [2] where VODs are posted. Are these not acceptable because they are videos? Or because they are primary sources? Is there a certain way they are done for traditional sports, or a precedent that has been set for esports? Thanks, Chaddude ( talk) 14:16, 10 February 2022 (UTC)Chaddude14
... with Ritchie preforming especially well in the latter game, going 7/0/6 on Kled.
Ritchie's counterpick Hecarim made another appearance in Cloud9's match vs Gen.G where he shut down CuVee on Aatrox to help his team to an important win.
Ritchie's Aatrox once again made its mark on two of the three games, neutralizing the mages picked by Afreeca's star toplaner Kiin.
In playoffs, Cloud9 were matched up against the eventual Champions, Team Liquid, and were swept 0–3, ending their run in the quarterfinals.
... and Cloud9 chose to deploy even more unconventional strategies in the toplane; but this time, they were well answered. In Game 1, Cloud9 allowed their opponents to lock in toplane Viktor, a very contested and powerful champion, choosing to take Ekko as an unexpected counterpick. However, the matchup did not play out as expected, with Ritchie falling behind early, and eventuallt resulting in a loss. For Game 2, Cloud9 took Viktor immediately, but then later took Aatrox as well, sending Viktor to another lane. Although Ritchie's Aatrox went even in toplaner, Fnatic still took the game. Game 3 saw the Viktor vs Ekko runback, but once again, Ritchie struggled in the matchup and Cloud9 once again lost the Game 3, eending Cloud9's Cinderella run with a 0–3 sweep.
With his new team, Ritchie's individual performance significantly improved, and with him at the helm, Golden Guardians achieved an even 6 wins and 6 losses after the trade, a significant step up from last place. They finished the 2021 regular season with an overall record of 14–31, setting up a tiebreaker with Ritchie's former team, FlyQuest, where the winner would receive the final spot in the playoffs. Golden Guardians prevailed, in large part due to Ritchie's performance on Renekton, in which he dominated FlyQuests new toplaner, Kumo, on Camille. Due to GG's victory, the team qualified for their second playoff appearance in the organization's history.
Hi, I'm Bynjee, I'm a developper [ sic]. I started Games of Legends in 2014 because I couldn't find these kind of stats.Seems like a by-gamer-for-gamers kind of website, with typo errors to boot. I don't think dedicated sections are appropriate. Stats from Riot or LoL is not appropriate either; you should only include stats that are published by reliable third-party sources, and if so, it would be best to include the stat in prose.
Hello! I wanted to drop a quick note for all of our AFC participants; nothing huge and fancy like a newsletter, but a few points of interest.
Short and sweet, but there's always more to discuss at WT:AFC. Stop on by, maybe review a draft on the way? Whether you're one of our top reviewers, or haven't reviewed in a while, I want to thank you for helping out in the past and in the future.

I notice you approved the DRAFT article Turner & Hooch (franchise) and rated it C class. It barely looks Start class to me ("a usable amount of good content", "weak in many areas", "article should satisfy fundamental content policies" "the referencing is inadequate, although enough sources are usually provided to establish verifiability"). It does not seem as if it passes WP:FILMSERIES or even WP:GNG. There is a rash of franchise articles that have been approved too early with very little information in them, and in my opinion very little chance of ever becoming {{ good article}}s.
I understand the desire to encourage editors and be generous when reviewing DRAFT articles but Wikipedia does not need even more low quality redundant repetitive series/franchise articles with little chance of going anywhere.
Please review WP:FILMSERIES. Please reconsider your rating of Turner & Hooch (franchise) and if it should be returned to DRAFT space. -- 109.77.202.187 ( talk) 13:04, 18 February 2022 (UTC)
Hello, you recently declined the article about Hairpin technology. Actually, this is only a translated version of an article that already exists in the German Wikipedia. We are a Chair of a University, all the claims are covered by the named books, websites and publications. Most of them unfortunately are only available in German, which doesn´t mean they aren´t reliable sources. PEM RWTH ( talk) 03:47, 19 February 2022 (UTC)
According to the winding scheme, each layer of hairpin ends is twisted. Each layer of hairpin ends is twisted in accordance with the winding scheme. During the associated rotation the tool has to be moved in an axial motion for height compensation. To ensure axial accessibility for the hairpin ends must be radially exposed in a preparatory step.– Pbrks ( t • c) 04:19, 19 February 2022 (UTC)

Hello,
I was wondering how you go about removing watermarks from photographic images. What software do you use for this process? What are your techniques and/or do you have any hot tips or valuable insights from all your experience? I suspect there is no general advice, and it really depends on the type of watermark in question and the particular circumstances. Still, if you can recommend some software that indispensable for this process, that would be super helpful. Lastly, this is just out of curiosity, presume you wanted to make a watermark that was difficult or resistant to removal, what approach would you use? Or said differently, is there a type of watermarking that is particularly difficult or laborious to remove? Thank you in advance for all that you do,

Hello, dear friend. I had made a draft entitled Seyyed Mahmoud Razavi, and this draft was rejected due to lack of resources, and you left a message for me on my Wikipedia talk page. I wanted to ask you for help and if possible help me to publish this article according to the rules and frameworks of Wikipedia. Can you help me? Ahmad1387 ( talk) 18:08, 21 February 2022 (UTC)
Hello again . I'm sorry my number of questions has increased a bit and I'll take your time. Following my instructions, I went to the draft of my article and expanded its sources and added credible sources. I ask you to review the draft:Seyyed MahmoudM Razavi again and if there is no problem, publish it and if there is a problem, tell me that problem so that I can fix it.
You never responded to my last posts on the Evil Lives Here: Shadows of Death section and I provided sources that you never bothered to review for me. The page was reviewed and rejected by someone else who didn't like them. But gee, you could have helped me a bit further instead of leaving me out to dry. I'm gonna continue to pursue this though. The TYPES of sites I should use and HOW to use them, please inform me on what to do. - NosferatuTheVampyre ( talk) - 22 February 2022, at 04:40. — Preceding undated comment added 04:41, 22 February 2022 (UTC)
So far, I came across these sources mentioning the show: https://corporate.discovery.com/discovery-newsroom/evil-lives-here-returns-for-another-chilling-season-featuring-the-iconic-series-100th-episode/, which is mainly about the parent show with the spinoff briefly mentioned at the end under the "About Red Marble Media" section: "In EVIL LIVES HERE, we broke the whodunit rules to create a series with a unique, intense POV. We followed that series with more true crime hits like SHATTERED and EVIL LIVES HERE: SHADOWS OF DEATH.". A source like this one of a few provided on the parent show's page so I can't imagine the spinoff needed many to prove its case. I can't find one by this source on the spinoff so we're out of luck there. Then there's this audition for Season 2 episode 3 of Shadows of Death: https://www.backstage.com/magazine/article/now-casting-a-new-hbo-pilot-needs-talent-74362/. Can't see how THAT isn't credible. There's this: http://www.thefutoncritic.com/news/2021/03/19/discoveryplus-true-crime-highlights-weeks-of-march-29-and-april-5-881413/20210319id01/. Futon is a great web source for episodes I see. I don't see how THIS: https://www.investigationdiscovery.com/show/evil-lives-here-shadows-of-death-investigation-discovery can't be simply used since it's from the airing channel's site and has all the info needed to warrant a page here: episodes, plot info, show description, airdates, like come on now. - NosferatuTheVampyre ( talk) - 22 February 2022, at 04:55. — Preceding undated comment added 04:55, 22 February 2022 (UTC)
Found two more sources. Then there's this mentioning the Season 2 premiere on June 16th, 2021: https://www.daily-journal.com/life/entertainment/penguin-town-a-species-last-resort/article_479c1ade-cd0e-11eb-bbad-5f4aa1a9a667.html. Then there's this article on a cop who was killed whose case is featured on the show: https://patch.com/california/manhattanbeach/manhattan-beach-remembers-police-officer-martin-ganz-12-27. I'll added this to the article for sure since it looks credible. Then there's some conflicting info here regarding Season 2 episode 3: "I Forgive you". According to this: https://www.channelguidemag.com/tv-news/2021/04/10/saturday-april-10-carey-mulligan-kid-cudi-snl/, it was suppose to air on April 11th, 2021 as the season premiere. The channel website has it airing on April 25th, but it's the third episode in the season. Futon: http://www.thefutoncritic.com/showatch/evil-lives-here-shadows-of-death/listings/ has it airing on June 30th, which makes the most sense given its place in the episode list and when the first two episodes aired in June. Perhaps I can add something to the article about Episode 3 originally being the season premiere but was shelved and aired third in the season? Still looking for sources, but I'm telling you, info on this show from CREDIBLE high top sites is practically non-existent. I'm surprised to have found what I did so far that should be tolerable. - NosferatuTheVampyre ( talk) - 22 February 2022, at 05:41. — Preceding undated comment added 05:41, 22 February 2022 (UTC)

My dear teacher and guide. I'm really sorry that I have so many questions. Whenever you feel that my questions are bothering you, tell me to stop this process and not ask you any more questions. I had a new question. I referred to similar articles by Iranian cinema producers such as Mohsen Chegini and examined their structure and sources. An article like Mohsen Chegini's article has been approved based on only 3 sources.

To clarify further Hello,
The Most part of the sources for this page i'm trying to create unfortunately is not available in english.
I've found very little information about Peiropolis, I saw it is not in wikipedia (enlgish) but only in Portuguese. The primary source (citation) I have included (the pdf file GEOHERITAGE) was actually an article used in the graduation work. The authors made a deep research about the location of Peiropolis, showing the details and the importance that this location represents. The work is in PDF.
Well, I removed the other sources and changed them for new ones. I din't know about the Wikifandom issue but i also replaced the previous source with a new one, though.
Hope it helps. Thank you.

I will put in more references but considering most of the esports organizations with their own articles use a lot of the same sources as we do such as ESL, Battlefy and Intel I think we should be allowed to reference those also.

Hello and thank you for your review of my draft article on the vintage clothing platform Thrilling ( Draft:Thrilling (Company)). I'm about to start working on a rewrite to address the neutral tone issues. I was wondering if you would be kind enough to point to an example or two of wording or sections that cross the neutrality line? That would help me set a baseline to apply throughout the article.

Because shop inventories can contain ten thousand items or more, the Thrilling platform contains technology to assist shop owners in digitizing large inventories, including the ability to use photography to detect an item's size and recommended price.This is cited to an interview with the CEO, so this is what the company wants us to know — not what is said by independent, reliable sources. – Pbrks ( t • c) 14:56, 30 March 2022 (UTC)

Hi, just to mention that you could do a full WP:CFD request to rename Category:Overwatch (video game) and its subcategories.

The checker shadow illusion is an optical illusion published in 1995 by Edward Adelson, an American professor of vision science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The phenomenon features an image of a checkerboard with light and dark squares, partly shadowed by another object, such as a cylinder as in this illustration. The optical illusion is that the area labeled A appears to be darker than the area labeled B. However, within the context of the two-dimensional image, they are of identical brightness – in other words, they would be printed with identical mixtures of ink, or displayed on a screen with pixels of identical color.

Hi Pbrks. Your account has been added to the "New page reviewers

WP:PERM in case your user right is time limited or probationary. This user group allows you to review new pages through the Curation system and mark them as
patrolled, tag them for maintenance issues, or nominate them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at the
New Pages Feed. New page reviewing is vital to maintaining the integrity of the encyclopedia. If you have not already done so, you must read the tutorial at
New Pages Review, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the
deletion policy. If you need any help or want to discuss the process, you are welcome to use the
new page reviewer talk page. In addition, please remember:
The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you also may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. In cases of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, or long-term inactivity, the right may be withdrawn at administrator discretion. signed, Rosguill talk 14:58, 15 June 2022 (UTC)

Hello Pbrks/Archives,
At the time of the last newsletter (No.27, May 2022), the backlog was approaching 16,000, having shot up rapidly from 6,000 over the prior two months. The attention the newsletter brought to the backlog sparked a flurry of activity. There was new discussion on process improvements, efforts to invite new editors to participate in NPP increased and more editors requested the NPP user right so they could help, and most importantly, the number of reviews picked up and the backlog decreased, dipping below 14,000 [a] at the end of May.
Since then, the news has not been so good. The backlog is basically flat, hovering around 14,200. I wish I could report the number of reviews done and the number of new articles added to the queue. But the available statistics we have are woefully inadequate. The only real number we have is the net queue size. [b]
In the last 30 days, the top 100 reviewers have all made more than 16 patrols (up from 8 last month), and about 70 have averaged one review a day (up from 50 last month).
While there are more people doing more reviews, many of the ~730 with the NPP right are doing little. Most of the reviews are being done by the top 50 or 100 reviewers. They need your help. We appreciate every review done, but please aim to do one a day (on average, or 30 a month).
A backlog reduction drive, coordinated by
buidhe and
Zippybonzo, will be held from July 1 to July 31. Sign up
here.
Barnstars will be awarded.
Many new articles on schools are being created by new users in developing and/or non-English-speaking countries. The authors are probably not even aware of Wikipedia's projects and policy pages. WP:WPSCH/AG has some excellent advice and resources specifically written for these users. Reviewers could consider providing such first-time article creators with a link to it while also mentioning that not all schools pass the GNG and that elementary schools are almost certainly not notable.
There is a new template available, {{
NPP backlog}}
, to show the current backlog. You can place it on your user or talk page as a reminder:
Very high unreviewed pages backlog: 11255 articles, as of 16:00, 19 June 2024 (UTC), according to DatBot
There has been significant discussion at WP:VPP recently on NPP-related matters (Draftification, Deletion, Notability, Verifiability, Burden). Proposals that would somewhat ease the burden on NPP aren't gaining much traction, although there are suggestions that the role of NPP be fundamentally changed to focus only on major CSD-type issues.

Hi Pbrks, thank you for the fast check of the draft of Bezau Business Schools. However, I am a bit confused that you declined it, as it is simply a translation (just a bit shortened history section) of the wiki-page in German - see here: [ Bezauer Wirtschaftsschulen] which is checked and worked on by several users (check version history). The references are given in the literature section and with the weblink. It is just a school, so this is not about advertisement etc. and the information are for all out there to see and it seems not to make sense to cite the given sources (given in the literature section) in the text - but if that is, what you critizise - I can do that, even though it seems to make no sense to me in this case? Also your remark, that there should be independent / secondary sources seems to make - in part - no sense, as we often use (also in sciences) data from a source, without having other sources. Especially in this case - with a public school - when the resources are from the public school, it seems to make no sense!? So it would be more realiable to use secondary sources, which copy or use information from the primary source? Looking forward for your reply. Best! Byteutates ( talk) 07:28, 1 August 2022 (UTC)

Hello Pbrks/Archives,
After the last newsletter (No.28, June 2022), the backlog declined another 1,000 to 13,000 in the last week of June. Then the July backlog drive began, during which 9,900 articles were reviewed and the backlog fell by 4,500 to just under 8,500 (these numbers illustrate how many new articles regularly flow into the queue). Thanks go to the coordinators Buidhe and Zippybonzo, as well as all the nearly 100 participants. Congratulations to Dr vulpes who led with 880 points. See this page for further details.
Unfortunately, most of the decline happened in the first half of the month, and the backlog has already risen to 9,600. Understandably, it seems many backlog drive participants are taking a break from reviewing and unfortunately, we are not even keeping up with the inflow let alone driving it lower. We need the other 600 reviewers to do more! Please try to do at least one a day.

Hi Pbrks,
I noticed you make template brackets. I need help making a bracket for the 2022–23 NBL season page. I’m having issues making one since the bracket I want is complicated.
I have an example of two brackets which need to be merged.
Lastly, I need best-of-3 (3 legs) for the Semi Finals and best-of-5 (5 legs) for the Grand Final series. If you could help me or know someone for help, that would be greatly appreciated.

I also need 3 legged semifinal and 5 legged for the grand final.
Alextigers ( talk) 09:14, 8 August 2022 (AEST)
I needed the 5-6 matchup on top because they verse the first seed in the semifinals. The first seed with the bye needs to be on top of the 2 seed. Plus it needed a bottom line to connect to the other play-in game.
Bracket above is a different bracket I wanted for the nbl finals during 2004 to 2008 seasons. Alextigers ( talk) 04:30, 8 August 2022 (UTC)

Hey, how's it hangin'?
Instead of creating a whole new page for images, you can overwrite them.
Here's how to take a screenshot on your computer: If you're on Windows, press Alt+PrtSc, it'll automatically be saved to your "Screenshots" folder in "Pictures"; however, if you're on Mac, press Shift+Cmd+3, it'll automatically be saved to your desktop.
I don't know the file type for Mac screenshots, but I know that Windows screenshots are typically saved as .png files, which was the file type of the images for subjects like Sodapoppin.
If you're taking screenshots directly on the YouTube page for these videos, I also recommend an extension called hyde, which allows you to hide YouTube's controls overlay (as well as that annoying shadow) in fullscreen by pressing Ctrl+M.
Just wanted to give you a friendly reminder for next time. Cheers!

Hi Pbrks,
I see it is you who has altered the templates for brackets recently, and I must say, I'm not a fan of it for darts events...
For example, if you look at 2022 Hungarian Darts Trophy, all the first round matches now look lopsided with that "dip" look, where when it was all straight as it used to be, it was much better, certainly looked more formal.
Any chance you could either sort it for the 24/48 team bracket, or make an alternative just for darts...?? JRRobinson ( talk) 13:16, 31 August 2022 (UTC)

It looks like you have been doing a ton of work on merging and fixing bracket templates, which is wonderful. It appears that some of your redirects and other changes have left a number of bracket template pages and /doc subpages orphaned and unused. You can see a list of some of them starting about 20 lines down at User:Jonesey95/unused templates, and there are more in the report at Wikipedia:Database reports/Unused templates/1 (you'll have to dig through to find them amid many other unused template pages).

That vandal's personal information should NEVER be revealed to other users publicly on Wikipedia or anywhere around the internet, and that exposed phone number would come up with some future unwanted calls! -- Allen ( talk / ctrb) 07:41, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
Other than that, I'd like to think that I agree with Aidan721 in a WikiProject Baseball discussion that background colors for the playoff bracket couldn't agree with MOS:COLOR, and you said it comes to accessibility issues regarding background colors on those playoff brackets (background colors of red representing American League teams and blue representing National League teams that some user added prominently on postseason articles). I was trying to make a 12TeamBracket-MLB template on my sandbox if the red and blue background colors on a playoff bracket is going to work on this year's postseason article on Wikipedia (I copied the source from 16TeamBracket-MLB but it's hard for me to find where to remove unnecessary lines between the first and second columns that looks weird to me when I whitened some boxes on the first column that are unneeded for a 12-team playoff bracket). -- Allen ( talk / ctrb) 07:41, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
Hello Pbrks/Archives,
Much has happened since the last newsletter over two months ago. The open letter finished with 444 signatures. The letter was sent to several dozen people at the WMF, and we have heard that it is being discussed but there has been no official reply. A related article appears in the current issue of The Signpost. If you haven't seen it, you should, including the readers' comment section.
Awards: Barnstars were given for the past several years (thanks to MPGuy2824), and we are now all caught up. The 2021 cup went to John B123 for leading with 26,525 article reviews during 2021. To encourage moderate activity, a new "Iron" level barnstar is awarded annually for reviewing 360 articles ("one-a-day"), and 100 reviews earns the "Standard" NPP barnstar. About 90 reviewers received barnstars for each of the years 2018 to 2021 (including the new awards that were given retroactively). All awards issued for every year are listed on the Awards page. Check out the new Hall of Fame also.
Software news: Novem Linguae and MPGuy2824 have connected with WMF developers who can review and approve patches, so they have been able to fix some bugs, and make other improvements to the Page Curation software. You can see everything that has been fixed recently here. The reviewer report has also been improved.

Backlog:
Saving the best for last: From a July low of 8,500, the backlog climbed back to 11,000 in August and then reversed in September dropping to below 6,000 and continued falling with the October backlog drive to under 1,000, a level not seen in over four years. Keep in mind that there are 2,000 new articles every week, so the number of reviews is far higher than the backlog reduction. To keep the backlog under a thousand, we have to keep reviewing at about half the recent rate!
Hey Pbrks,
I had a quick question on reliable sources. If you get information straight from the person a biography is about, are you allowed to cite that as a source when writing about the information in question? Would previous employers on job information also count as a reliable source?

Hi Pbrks. I have only just noticed that in March you moved about half the suburbs of the City of Playford (I haven't looked to see if you ventured wider) from "<suburb>, South Australia to just "<suburb>", with an edit comment of "unnecessary dab". I have not been very active on Wikipedia this year, so did not notice sooner - sorry this is a delayed response. Since the WP:NCAUST was watered down to allow this shortened naming, the convention has been to not move articles in either direction between using or not using the ", <state>", and leaving whichever form the first author chose. As you clearly believe that concision trumps precision and consistency in WP:TITLE, you might like to throw your two bits worth in to the discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject South Australia#Unnecessary ", South Australia" in hundreds of place names. - Scott Davis Talk 12:31, 27 December 2022 (UTC)

Only the first word in the caption or header should be capitalized (except for proper nouns).
The en dash in a range is always unspaced, except when either or both elements of the range include at least one space, hyphen, or en dash.
In article text, do not use a capital letter after a hyphen except for a proper name.
one should generally avoid providing external links to... Any site that does not provide a unique resource beyond what the article would contain if it became a featured article. Moreover, Liquipedia is user-generated content and cannot be used as a source (also it is an unreliable source; see video-game reliable sources).
In general, the first mention of a particular currency should use its full, unambiguous signifier (e.g. A$52), with subsequent references using just the appropriate symbol (e.g. $88), unless this would be unclear.
I assure you that I have no conflict of interest. Frustration with a rather obsessive immature heckler reddit group, yes. Conflict of interest, no. I can tell that they seem to ache to add personal commentary on why they think this system is inferior to their favorites and the people who run it [Intellivision Entertainment] losers. I am not affiliated with Intellivision Entertainment, have no reason to edit on their behalf, except common decency, and do not care if it succeeds or not, except as a novelty or alternative gaming entity, if it is deserving.

It is, on some very modest scale, a topic of controversy, in that it's super-fans, haters and other vocal parties are small in number. Daltonsatom ( talk) 23:16, 21 January 2022 (UTC)
As far as images, the article had no images. I tried to put up one of the console and the unique controller and it got taken down and I was told I needed ones owned by the owners. So, I bugged Intellivision a number of times to send me something of the console and controller, and that is what they contributed. I was told the guy who posted it wasn't the official owner and they took it down. I spent a lot of time figuring out the paperwork to certify it was permitted by it's owner and someone still tried to take it down, but, having the documentation, I was able to have it retained. So, after the effort involved, you can see why I might not care to have it removed. I really don't want to try to start from scratch on another image. Daltonsatom ( talk) 23:51, 21 January 2022 (UTC)
Hi, I noticed you replaced the logo at Sustainable_Australia with a newer version on the 14th of January. A comment was added about using a transparent image.

If you wish to make the December 13th version transparent, that is fine. Teraplane ( talk) 22:16, 23 January 2022 (UTC)

Hello, what is the proper way to reference an official recording of an esports match? Specifically for League of Legends, Riot Games has both an official site [1] and an official YouTube channel [2] where VODs are posted. Are these not acceptable because they are videos?

... with Ritchie preforming especially well in the latter game, going 7/0/6 on Kled.
Ritchie's counterpick Hecarim made another appearance in Cloud9's match vs Gen.G where he shut down CuVee on Aatrox to help his team to an important win.
Ritchie's Aatrox once again made its mark on two of the three games, neutralizing the mages picked by Afreeca's star toplaner Kiin.
In playoffs, Cloud9 were matched up against the eventual Champions, Team Liquid, and were swept 0–3, ending their run in the quarterfinals.
... and Cloud9 chose to deploy even more unconventional strategies in the toplane; but this time, they were well answered. In Game 1, Cloud9 allowed their opponents to lock in toplane Viktor, a very contested and powerful champion, choosing to take Ekko as an unexpected counterpick. However, the matchup did not play out as expected, with Ritchie falling behind early, and eventuallt resulting in a loss. For Game 2, Cloud9 took Viktor immediately, but then later took Aatrox as well, sending Viktor to another lane. Although Ritchie's Aatrox went even in toplaner, Fnatic still took the game. Game 3 saw the Viktor vs Ekko runback, but once again, Ritchie struggled in the matchup and Cloud9 once again lost the Game 3, eending Cloud9's Cinderella run with a 0–3 sweep.
With his new team, Ritchie's individual performance significantly improved, and with him at the helm, Golden Guardians achieved an even 6 wins and 6 losses after the trade, a significant step up from last place. They finished the 2021 regular season with an overall record of 14–31, setting up a tiebreaker with Ritchie's former team, FlyQuest, where the winner would receive the final spot in the playoffs. Golden Guardians prevailed, in large part due to Ritchie's performance on Renekton, in which he dominated FlyQuests new toplaner, Kumo, on Camille. Due to GG's victory, the team qualified for their second playoff appearance in the organization's history.
Hi, I'm Bynjee, I'm a developper [ sic]. I started Games of Legends in 2014 because I couldn't find these kind of stats.Seems like a by-gamer-for-gamers kind of website, with typo errors to boot.

Stats from Riot or LoL is not appropriate either; you should only include stats that are published by reliable third-party sources, and if so, it would be best to include the stat in prose.

I notice you approved the DRAFT article Turner & Hooch (franchise) and rated it C class. It barely looks Start class to me ("a usable amount of good content", "weak in many areas", "article should satisfy fundamental content policies" "the referencing is inadequate, although enough sources are usually provided to establish verifiability"). It does not seem as if it passes WP:FILMSERIES or even WP:GNG. There is a rash of franchise articles that have been approved too early with very little information in them, and in my opinion very little chance of ever becoming {{ good article}}s.
I understand the desire to encourage editors and be generous when reviewing DRAFT articles but Wikipedia does not need even more low quality redundant repetitive series/franchise articles with little chance of going anywhere.
Please review WP:FILMSERIES. Please reconsider your rating of Turner & Hooch (franchise) and if it should be returned to DRAFT space. -- 109.77.202.187 ( talk) 13:04, 18 February 2022 (UTC)
Hello, you recently declined the article about Hairpin technology. Actually, this is only a translated version of an article that already exists in the German Wikipedia. We are a Chair of a University, all the claims are covered by the named books, websites and publications. Most of them unfortunately are only available in German, which doesn´t mean they aren´t reliable sources. PEM RWTH ( talk) 03:47, 19 February 2022 (UTC)
According to the winding scheme, each layer of hairpin ends is twisted. Each layer of hairpin ends is twisted in accordance with the winding scheme. During the associated rotation the tool has to be moved in an axial motion for height compensation. To ensure axial accessibility for the hairpin ends must be radially exposed in a preparatory step.– Pbrks ( t • c) 04:19, 19 February 2022 (UTC)

Hello,
I was wondering how you go about removing watermarks from photographic images. What software do you use for this process? What are your techniques and/or do you have any hot tips or valuable insights from all your experience? I suspect there is no general advice, and it really depends on the type of watermark in question and the particular circumstances. Still, if you can recommend some software that indispensable for this process, that would be super helpful. Lastly, this is just out of curiosity, presume you wanted to make a watermark that was difficult or resistant to removal, what approach would you use? Or said differently, is there a type of watermarking that is particularly difficult or laborious to remove? Thank you in advance for all that you do,

So far, I came across these sources mentioning the show: https://corporate.discovery.com/discovery-newsroom/evil-lives-here-returns-for-another-chilling-season-featuring-the-iconic-series-100th-episode/, which is mainly about the parent show with the spinoff briefly mentioned at the end under the "About Red Marble Media" section: "In EVIL LIVES HERE, we broke the whodunit rules to create a series with a unique, intense POV. We followed that series with more true crime hits like SHATTERED and EVIL LIVES HERE: SHADOWS OF DEATH.". A source like this one of a few provided on the parent show's page so I can't imagine the spinoff needed many to prove its case. I can't find one by this source on the spinoff so we're out of luck there. Then there's this audition for Season 2 episode 3 of Shadows of Death: https://www.backstage.com/magazine/article/now-casting-a-new-hbo-pilot-needs-talent-74362/. Can't see how THAT isn't credible. There's this: http://www.thefutoncritic.com/news/2021/03/19/discoveryplus-true-crime-highlights-weeks-of-march-29-and-april-5-881413/20210319id01/. Futon is a great web source for episodes I see. I don't see how THIS: https://www.investigationdiscovery.com/show/evil-lives-here-shadows-of-death-investigation-discovery can't be simply used since it's from the airing channel's site and has all the info needed to warrant a page here: episodes, plot info, show description, airdates, like come on now. - NosferatuTheVampyre ( talk) - 22 February 2022, at 04:55. — Preceding undated comment added 04:55, 22 February 2022 (UTC)
Found two more sources. Then there's this mentioning the Season 2 premiere on June 16th, 2021: https://www.daily-journal.com/life/entertainment/penguin-town-a-species-last-resort/article_479c1ade-cd0e-11eb-bbad-5f4aa1a9a667.html. Then there's this article on a cop who was killed whose case is featured on the show: https://patch.com/california/manhattanbeach/manhattan-beach-remembers-police-officer-martin-ganz-12-27. I'll added this to the article for sure since it looks credible. Then there's some conflicting info here regarding Season 2 episode 3: "I Forgive you". According to this: https://www.channelguidemag.com/tv-news/2021/04/10/saturday-april-10-carey-mulligan-kid-cudi-snl/, it was suppose to air on April 11th, 2021 as the season premiere. The channel website has it airing on April 25th, but it's the third episode in the season. Futon: http://www.thefutoncritic.com/showatch/evil-lives-here-shadows-of-death/listings/ has it airing on June 30th, which makes the most sense given its place in the episode list and when the first two episodes aired in June. Perhaps I can add something to the article about Episode 3 originally being the season premiere but was shelved and aired third in the season? Still looking for sources, but I'm telling you, info on this show from CREDIBLE high top sites is practically non-existent. I'm surprised to have found what I did so far that should be tolerable. - NosferatuTheVampyre ( talk) - 22 February 2022, at 05:41. — Preceding undated comment added 05:41, 22 February 2022 (UTC)

To clarify further Hello,
The Most part of the sources for this page i'm trying to create unfortunately is not available in english.
I've found very little information about Peiropolis, I saw it is not in wikipedia (enlgish) but only in Portuguese. The primary source (citation) I have included (the pdf file GEOHERITAGE) was actually an article used in the graduation work. The authors made a deep research about the location of Peiropolis, showing the details and the importance that this location represents. The work is in PDF.
Well, I removed the other sources and changed them for new ones. I din't know about the Wikifandom issue but i also replaced the previous source with a new one, though.
Hope it helps. Thank you.

Hi, I was wondering if I could get a more in depth reason on why the draft was declined and how I could make it better before resubmitting. The organization has similar and better feats then many other esports organization with their own articles on top of all 30+ of my references coming from reliable sources such as Kontrol Freek, Intel and ESL Gaming. Thanks !

I will put in more references but considering most of the esports organizations with their own articles use a lot of the same sources as we do such as ESL, Battlefy and Intel I think we should be allowed to reference those also. Not to mention our article being extremely more in depth then a lot of presence articles. Thanks for the insight and I will take it into account when applying again. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JakobJohnson1998 ( talk • contribs) 19:41, 5 April 2022 (UTC)

Hello and thank you for your review of my draft article on the vintage clothing platform Thrilling ( Draft:Thrilling (Company)). I'm about to start working on a rewrite to address the neutral tone issues. I was wondering if you would be kind enough to point to an example or two of wording or sections that cross the neutrality line? That would help me set a baseline to apply throughout the article. And would it also be okay to hit you up again for another review before I resubmit for AfC after I've completed the rewrite? Thanks again for your review.

Because shop inventories can contain ten thousand items or more, the Thrilling platform contains technology to assist shop owners in digitizing large inventories, including the ability to use photography to detect an item's size and recommended price.This is cited to an interview with the CEO, so this is what the company wants us to know — not what is said by independent, reliable sources. – Pbrks ( t • c) 14:56, 30 March 2022 (UTC)

The checker shadow illusion is an optical illusion published in 1995 by Edward Adelson, an American professor of vision science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The phenomenon features an image of a checkerboard with light and dark squares, partly shadowed by another object, such as a cylinder as in this illustration. The optical illusion is that the area labeled A appears to be darker than the area labeled B. However, within the context of the two-dimensional image, they are of identical brightness – in other words, they would be printed with identical mixtures of ink, or displayed on a screen with pixels of identical color.

Hello Pbrks/Archives,
At the time of the last newsletter (No.27, May 2022), the backlog was approaching 16,000, having shot up rapidly from 6,000 over the prior two months. The attention the newsletter brought to the backlog sparked a flurry of activity. There was new discussion on process improvements, efforts to invite new editors to participate in NPP increased and more editors requested the NPP user right so they could help, and most importantly, the number of reviews picked up and the backlog decreased, dipping below 14,000 [a] at the end of May.
Since then, the news has not been so good. The backlog is basically flat, hovering around 14,200. I wish I could report the number of reviews done and the number of new articles added to the queue. But the available statistics we have are woefully inadequate. The only real number we have is the net queue size. [b]
In the last 30 days, the top 100 reviewers have all made more than 16 patrols (up from 8 last month), and about 70 have averaged one review a day (up from 50 last month).
While there are more people doing more reviews, many of the ~730 with the NPP right are doing little. Most of the reviews are being done by the top 50 or 100 reviewers. They need your help. We appreciate every review done, but please aim to do one a day (on average, or 30 a month).
A backlog reduction drive, coordinated by
buidhe and
Zippybonzo, will be held from July 1 to July 31. Sign up
here.
Barnstars will be awarded.
Many new articles on schools are being created by new users in developing and/or non-English-speaking countries. The authors are probably not even aware of Wikipedia's projects and policy pages. WP:WPSCH/AG has some excellent advice and resources specifically written for these users. Reviewers could consider providing such first-time article creators with a link to it while also mentioning that not all schools pass the GNG and that elementary schools are almost certainly not notable.
There is a new template available, {{
NPP backlog}}
, to show the current backlog. You can place it on your user or talk page as a reminder:
Very high unreviewed pages backlog: 11255 articles, as of 16:00, 19 June 2024 (UTC), according to DatBot
There has been significant discussion at WP:VPP recently on NPP-related matters (Draftification, Deletion, Notability, Verifiability, Burden). Proposals that would somewhat ease the burden on NPP aren't gaining much traction, although there are suggestions that the role of NPP be fundamentally changed to focus only on major CSD-type issues.

Hi Pbrks, thank you for the fast check of the draft of Bezau Business Schools. However, I am a bit confused that you declined it, as it is simply a translation (just a bit shortened history section) of the wiki-page in German - see here: [ Bezauer Wirtschaftsschulen] which is checked and worked on by several users (check version history). The references are given in the literature section and with the weblink. It is just a school, so this is not about advertisement etc. and the information are for all out there to see and it seems not to make sense to cite the given sources (given in the literature section) in the text - but if that is, what you critizise - I can do that, even though it seems to make no sense to me in this case? Also your remark, that there should be independent / secondary sources seems to make - in part - no sense, as we often use (also in sciences) data from a source, without having other sources. Especially in this case - with a public school - when the resources are from the public school, it seems to make no sense!? So it would be more realiable to use secondary sources, which copy or use information from the primary source? Looking forward for your reply. Best! Byteutates ( talk) 07:28, 1 August 2022 (UTC)

Hello Pbrks/Archives,
After the last newsletter (No.28, June 2022), the backlog declined another 1,000 to 13,000 in the last week of June. Then the July backlog drive began, during which 9,900 articles were reviewed and the backlog fell by 4,500 to just under 8,500 (these numbers illustrate how many new articles regularly flow into the queue). Thanks go to the coordinators Buidhe and Zippybonzo, as well as all the nearly 100 participants. Congratulations to Dr vulpes who led with 880 points. See this page for further details.
Unfortunately, most of the decline happened in the first half of the month, and the backlog has already risen to 9,600. Understandably, it seems many backlog drive participants are taking a break from reviewing and unfortunately, we are not even keeping up with the inflow let alone driving it lower. We need the other 600 reviewers to do more! Please try to do at least one a day.

I have an example of two brackets which need to be merged.

I needed the 5-6 matchup on top because they verse the first seed in the semifinals. The first seed with the bye needs to be on top of the 2 seed. Plus it needed a bottom line to connect to the other play-in game.

Hey, how's it hangin'?
Instead of creating a whole new page for images, you can overwrite them.
Here's how to take a screenshot on your computer: If you're on Windows, press Alt+PrtSc, it'll automatically be saved to your "Screenshots" folder in "Pictures"; however, if you're on Mac, press Shift+Cmd+3, it'll automatically be saved to your desktop.
I don't know the file type for Mac screenshots, but I know that Windows screenshots are typically saved as .png files, which was the file type of the images for subjects like Sodapoppin.
If you're taking screenshots directly on the YouTube page for these videos, I also recommend an extension called hyde, which allows you to hide YouTube's controls overlay (as well as that annoying shadow) in fullscreen by pressing Ctrl+M.
Just wanted to give you a friendly reminder for next time. Cheers!

Hi Pbrks,
I see it is you who has altered the templates for brackets recently, and I must say, I'm not a fan of it for darts events...
For example, if you look at 2022 Hungarian Darts Trophy, all the first round matches now look lopsided with that "dip" look, where when it was all straight as it used to be, it was much better, certainly looked more formal.
Any chance you could either sort it for the 24/48 team bracket, or make an alternative just for darts...?? JRRobinson ( talk) 13:16, 31 August 2022 (UTC)

The next Board composition might be giving attention to software development. The election closes on 6 September at 23:59 UTC. View candidate statement videos and Vote Here.

The PagePlayoff bracket is not quite right, and I notice it's been used in other seasons. There's no connecting line from the semifinal winner to the preliminary finals. The one you've removed has it right, and should be used instead. Local Potentate ( talk) 21:02, 5 September 2022 (UTC)
Surely it would have been a good idea to nominate the template for deletion first and reach a consensus, before changing multiple articles on various Australian sports with a misnamed (the 8-team system used in Australia is not a Page Playoff) variant template, especially as it is not of the same quality.

Like you added RD2b in Template:5TeamBracket-McIntyre, can you add RD1b also in the Template:4TeamBracket-PagePlayoff? For the immediate top seed names? Thanks in advance. Kirubar ( talk) 03:25, 9 September 2022 (UTC)
Sorry for disturbing you again. RD1B is ok. But when you enter a team name in RD2-team4, the RD1b gets wider/higher with that. For example, you can see here. How can we stop RD1b gets wide/height with the RD2-TEAM4 param? Could you fix it? Kirubar ( talk) 15:11, 11 September 2022 (UTC)

Cultural references about a subject should not be included simply because they exist. A Wikipedia article may include a subject's cultural impact by summarizing its coverage in reliable secondary or tertiary sources.The content you added was more of a "this exists" type of thing. Moreover, it was not referenced to a reliable source, as podcasts are not generally considered unreliable. See Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources for more information. If you have any questions, let me know. – Pbrks ( t • c) 16:44, 5 September 2022 (UTC)

It looks like you have been doing a ton of work on merging and fixing bracket templates, which is wonderful. It appears that some of your redirects and other changes have left a number of bracket template pages and /doc subpages orphaned and unused. You can see a list of some of them starting about 20 lines down at User:Jonesey95/unused templates, and there are more in the report at Wikipedia:Database reports/Unused templates/1 (you'll have to dig through to find them amid many other unused template pages). If you could figure out the best thing to do with these 20 or so pages, that would be helpful. Thanks. – Jonesey95 ( talk) 18:55, 29 September 2022 (UTC)

Pbrks, it's Allen. That vandal with the username starting with Syed disclosed his own personal information (phone number and email address) on your user page when he moved your user page, so could you request an administrator or an oversight to delete the vandal's edits on your user page history that contained the disclosure of another person's personal information from your user page history? That vandal's personal information should NEVER be revealed to other users publicly on Wikipedia or anywhere around the internet, and that exposed phone number would come up with some future unwanted calls! -- Allen ( talk / ctrb) 07:41, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
Other than that, I'd like to think that I agree with Aidan721 in a WikiProject Baseball discussion that background colors for the playoff bracket couldn't agree with MOS:COLOR, and you said it comes to accessibility issues regarding background colors on those playoff brackets (background colors of red representing American League teams and blue representing National League teams that some user added prominently on postseason articles). I was trying to make a 12TeamBracket-MLB template on my sandbox if the red and blue background colors on a playoff bracket is going to work on this year's postseason article on Wikipedia (I copied the source from 16TeamBracket-MLB but it's hard for me to find where to remove unnecessary lines between the first and second columns that looks weird to me when I whitened some boxes on the first column that are unneeded for a 12-team playoff bracket). -- Allen ( talk / ctrb) 07:41, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
Hello Pbrks/Archives,
Much has happened since the last newsletter over two months ago. The open letter finished with 444 signatures. The letter was sent to several dozen people at the WMF, and we have heard that it is being discussed but there has been no official reply. A related article appears in the current issue of The Signpost. If you haven't seen it, you should, including the readers' comment section.
Awards: Barnstars were given for the past several years (thanks to MPGuy2824), and we are now all caught up. The 2021 cup went to John B123 for leading with 26,525 article reviews during 2021. To encourage moderate activity, a new "Iron" level barnstar is awarded annually for reviewing 360 articles ("one-a-day"), and 100 reviews earns the "Standard" NPP barnstar. About 90 reviewers received barnstars for each of the years 2018 to 2021 (including the new awards that were given retroactively). All awards issued for every year are listed on the Awards page. Check out the new Hall of Fame also.
Software news: Novem Linguae and MPGuy2824 have connected with WMF developers who can review and approve patches, so they have been able to fix some bugs, and make other improvements to the Page Curation software. You can see everything that has been fixed recently here. The reviewer report has also been improved.
Suggestions:
Backlog:
Saving the best for last: From a July low of 8,500, the backlog climbed back to 11,000 in August and then reversed in September dropping to below 6,000 and continued falling with the October backlog drive to under 1,000, a level not seen in over four years. Keep in mind that there are 2,000 new articles every week, so the number of reviews is far higher than the backlog reduction. To keep the backlog under a thousand, we have to keep reviewing at about half the recent rate!
Hey Pbrks,
I had a quick question on reliable sources. If you get information straight from the person a biography is about, are you allowed to cite that as a source when writing about the information in question? Would previous employers on job information also count as a reliable source?
Best,

Hi Pbrks. I have only just noticed that in March you moved about half the suburbs of the City of Playford (I haven't looked to see if you ventured wider) from "<suburb>, South Australia to just "<suburb>", with an edit comment of "unnecessary dab". I have not been very active on Wikipedia this year, so did not notice sooner - sorry this is a delayed response. Since the WP:NCAUST was watered down to allow this shortened naming, the convention has been to not move articles in either direction between using or not using the ", <state>", and leaving whichever form the first author chose. As you clearly believe that concision trumps precision and consistency in WP:TITLE, you might like to throw your two bits worth in to the discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject South Australia#Unnecessary ", South Australia" in hundreds of place names. - Scott Davis Talk 12:31, 27 December 2022 (UTC)
