Manette Bridge was really out of date... describing a steel truss bridge that was demolished in 2011 or 2012. I just corrected the lede. Do you think there should be a separate article for the new bridge? I'm not absolutely sure it has the same name. ☆ Bri ( talk) 05:05, 30 June 2020 (UTC)
The article 2003 FIFA Women's World Cup Final you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:2003 FIFA Women's World Cup Final for comments about the article. Well done! If the article has not already appeared on the main page as a "Did you know" item, or as a bold link under "In the News" or in the "On This Day" prose section, you can nominate it within the next seven days to appear in DYK.

The third round of the 2020 WikiCup has now come to an end. The 16 users who made it into the fourth round each had at least 353 points (compared to 68 in 2019). It was a highly competitive round, and a number of contestants were eliminated who would have moved on in earlier years. Our top scorers in round 3 were:
Between them, contestants managed 14 featured articles, 9 featured lists, 3 featured pictures, 152 good articles, 136 DYK entries, 55 ITN entries, 65 featured article candidate reviews and 221 good article reviews. Additionally, MPJ-DK added 3 items to featured topics and 44 to good topics. Over the course of the competition, contestants have completed 710 good article reviews, in comparison to 387 good articles submitted for review and promoted. These large numbers are probably linked to a GAN backlog drive in April and May, and the changed patterns of editing during the COVID-19 pandemic. As we enter the fourth round, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 3 but before the start of round 4 can be claimed in round 4. Please also remember that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them. When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met. Please also remember that all submissions must meet core Wikipedia policies, regardless of the review process.
If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

I'm proposing a redesign containing visual, technical and other improvements to {{ Infobox radio station}} and {{ Infobox broadcast}}. The discussion is located at Wikipedia:WikiProject Radio Stations/2020 infobox redesign proposal. As an editor active in editing radio and/or TV station articles, or in recent changes to the templates in question, I wanted to make you aware of this proposal and kindly ask for your feedback.

Hi,
How would you prefer to put it? There's enough evidence to say 1999 was a U.S. women's sports record, but the world record claim is more than doubtful by now, and does a disservice to women's sports and its history. (The sources repeating it were often in good faith, but were unreliable themselves.)
The 1971 attendances aren't going away, so it will be necessary to mention them in the 1999 article if it's going to stay relevant.
Apologies for not following WP:LEADCITE, which I didn't know about. It doesn't seem to apply to everything... like this uncited sentence in the introduction:
The tournament was considered a "watershed moment" for women's sports in the U.S.
Nowhere in the article is this backed up – no source uses the phrase for women's sports in general, only for 1999's significance for soccer or the USWNT.
- Demokra ( talk) 06:54, 2 July 2020 (UTC)
That is nowhere near enough.
Two other times the article talks unquestioningly about 90,185 "(setting) a world/international record", which now changes mysteriously to be only a "claim" in the Final section, with no further information. The supposed record is a central part of the 1999 article.
Just adding the passage above (which you wrote) would be a lot less inconsistent. The 1999 article now seems to be designed to mislead on this issue.
Does every change need to go through you? You're not the page's WP:OWNER, and "Featured Article" is not a euphemism for "Do Not Edit". - Demokra ( talk) 05:00, 7 July 2020 (UTC)

Thank you for your feedback. I noticed you reverted several of my edits for not adding a citation. Some edits were merely to improve the readability, organization and clarity of the article, and did not add or change any content.

Dear Sounderbruce; I am responding to your note where you admittedly took the liberty to remove the City of University Place the notation of Dr. Stan Flemming as the Founding Mayor of the city. I believe if you had taken the time to do the proper research, you would have found under the City's very first Proclamation dated August 31, 1995 the listing of Mayor Flemming, who signed that proclammation as the Founding Mayor and all other first city councilmembers. Please do not think you're the only subject matter expert on this topic. Likewise, would be grateful if you would so kindly reinstate the deletions you saw fit to remove.
With regards to Peach Acres, that property is equally of a historical nature and is a stand-alone address/site on map quest and other map location sites. Please do not take liberties that you are not knowledgeable or entitled to forward. thank you, steve Stevefranklin06 ( talk) 07:05, 16 July 2020 (UTC)
We have no article about it as a separate category, rather than a brand label for an added level of developer pretentiousness, which is all I saw in the couple of dozen articles using the term. Real estate developers have a well-earned reputation for mendaciousness and audaciousness, and their jargon is often a disgrace to the human race as language-using animals. If you really believe that it exists as a distinct thing in and of itself, please turn the redirect into a solid, well-sourced article, and I'll applaud your research and cheerfully revert myself. -- Orange Mike | Talk 00:31, 18 July 2020 (UTC)
Thank you today for Tukwila International Boulevard station, about "the other end of Seattle's light rail system, with the third-to-last stop, an elevated station overlooking parking lots, suburban chain stores, and majestic mountains and hills.

Hey, I was able to find the National Register nomination for the ranger station at the National Archives website (the place to look for them now). It really isn't much help, though, as far as historical information ... after a lengthy description of the buildings involved, the statement of significance where (from my experience with New York's SHPO) I would expect to find some information about how it came to be and how it has evolved is a single, boilerplate paragraph on page 6. Oh well ... good enough ror government work in this instance I guess. Daniel Case ( talk) 06:27, 28 July 2020 (UTC)
You declined Draft:Louise Lieberman. Please note the notability guidelines for soccer. WP:NSOCCER. She meets them. She played for the Washington Freedom of the Women's United Soccer Association.

Hey there!
I am the user who nominated Fort Saskatchewan for GA status. You "claimed" it for review on July 7th and stated that the review would take a week or so, so I just wanted to follow up and see if you will complete the review soon. I understand that you're a busy person, and am in no way trying to rush you. I was just hoping to check in and see where you're at.
Thanks for your time :)

SounderBruce, why did you undo my edit? To me, synthesis of sources really does not fit. I'm not trying to show any relationship, thereby expressing a point of view, between the two facts that I cite to a single source. I report them as two separate facts, not expressing any point of view about any relationship. So, to my way of thinking, that does not work. So, what was it? I'm puzzled, particularly considering that on your page it says to be kind to new editors. Truth Is King 24 ( talk) 17:47, 17 August 2020 (UTC)
I'm copying this exchange from my talk page. I would appreciate an answer. Truth Is King 24 ( talk) 05:59, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
Please read through WP:SYNTH, which concerns the synthesis of published material. While you did add a valid citation, the prose added includes analysis that is not appropriate. A good secondary source like the Bellevue Reporter or Puget Sound Business Journal would be better for discussing the number of projects and their impact, rather than adding up the individual entries on the city's project list. Sounder Bruce 19:42, 17 August 2020 (UTC)
Why did you undo my edit? wp:lead states: "The lead should stand on its own as a concise overview of the article's topic." The article's topic is Hovander Homestead Park - not the Hovander family. So I changed it so that it was a concise overview of the park. I'm very confused by your behavior. In both this case and in your undo of my Bellevue edits, you chose an aggressive response of undoing my edits with only a brief reference to a policy, which actually did not support your undo. But Wikipedia policy clearly encourages a friendlier and more helpful response, where some notice is given before an edit is undone. Truth Is King 24 ( talk) 05:59, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
Hey, you undid all of my corrections. What you have left posted is incorrect. The website is wrong, the times and dates of the routes are wrong, and in fact it is two agencies that run public transportation. I agree with the other user who wrote you are aggressive.

The fourth round of the competition has finished, with 865 points being required to qualify for the final round, nearly twice as many points as last year. It was a hotly competitive round with two contestants with 598 and 605 points being eliminated, and all but two of the contestants who reached the final round having achieved an FA during the round. The highest scorers were
Between them, contestants achieved 14 featured articles, 14 featured lists, 2 featured pictures, 87 good articles, 90 DYK entries, 75 ITN entries, 95 featured article candidate reviews and 81 good article reviews. Congratulations to all who participated! It was a generally high-scoring and productive round and I think we can expect a highly competitive finish to the competition.
Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 4 but before the start of round 5 can be claimed in round 5. Remember too that you must claim your points within 10 days of "earning" them. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews.

I like what you did for the captions on the Bellevue article. For an article on Bellevue, WA, I guess it makes sense that we don't have to specify "WA" in a caption. One thing, is there some way, "inspect element" or something like that, where you can tell when a photograph was taken. I put "cerca" because I was sort of guessing, just based on which buildings were there, and also my memory of when the various buildings were built, so I was really not sure.

Now another editor complained that it was unsourced.

Please explain your deletions of images on the basis that they are not "necessary." That is not a satisfactory reason. We have many images on Wikipedia. None are "necessary." In fact, the articles themselves are not "necessary."
If you wish to delete a contribution from an editor, please provide an appropriate reason that accords with policy. And note that WP policy is that "The purpose of an image is to increase readers' understanding of the article's subject matter, usually by directly depicting people, things, activities, and concepts described in the article."
Of try this -- start deleting images from articles on US presidents, as "not necessary," and see what reaction you get from others.
Indeed -- how would you feel if someone deleted one or more of your images, as "not necessary?" I would think that you of all people would recognize that that is not WP policy, and is not helpful nor collegial editing. -- 2604:2000:E010:1100:317D:1647:F589:7389 ( talk) 06:26, 3 September 2020 (UTC)

The 2020 WikiCup has come to an end, with the final round going down to the wire. Our new Champion is Lee Vilenski ( submissions), the runner-up last year, who was closely followed by Gog the Mild ( submissions). In the final round, Lee achieved 4 FAs and 30 GAs, mostly on cue sport topics, while Gog achieved 3 FAs and 15 GAs, mostly on important battles and wars, which earned him a high number of bonus points. The Rambling Man ( submissions) was in third place with 4 FAs and 8 GAs on football topics, with Epicgenius ( submissions) close behind with 19 GAs and 16 DYK's, his interest being the buildings of New York.
The other finalists were Hog Farm ( submissions), HaEr48 ( submissions), Harrias ( submissions) and Bloom6132 ( submissions). The final round was very productive, and besides 15 FAs, contestants achieved 75 FAC reviews, 88 GAs and 108 GAN reviews. Altogether, Wikipedia has benefited greatly from the activities of WikiCup competitors all through the contest. Well done everyone!
All those who reached the final will receive awards and the following special awards will be made, based on high performance in particular areas of content creation. So that the finalists do not have an undue advantage, these prizes are awarded to the competitor who scored the highest in any particular field in a single round, or in the event of a tie, to the overall leader in this field.
Next year's competition will begin on 1 January. You are invited to sign up to participate; the WikiCup is open to all Wikipedians, both novices and experienced editors, and we hope to see you all in the 2021 competition. Until then, it only remains to once again congratulate our worthy winners, and thank all participants for their involvement!

The third round of the 2020 WikiCup has now come to an end. The 16 users who made it into the fourth round each had at least 353 points (compared to 68 in 2019). It was a highly competitive round, and a number of contestants were eliminated who would have moved on in earlier years. Our top scorers in round 3 were:
Between them, contestants managed 14 featured articles, 9 featured lists, 3 featured pictures, 152 good articles, 136 DYK entries, 55 ITN entries, 65 featured article candidate reviews and 221 good article reviews. Additionally, MPJ-DK added 3 items to featured topics and 44 to good topics. Over the course of the competition, contestants have completed 710 good article reviews, in comparison to 387 good articles submitted for review and promoted. These large numbers are probably linked to a GAN backlog drive in April and May, and the changed patterns of editing during the COVID-19 pandemic. As we enter the fourth round, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 3 but before the start of round 4 can be claimed in round 4. Please also remember that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them. When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met. Please also remember that all submissions must meet core Wikipedia policies, regardless of the review process.
If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

I'm proposing a redesign containing visual, technical and other improvements to {{ Infobox radio station}} and {{ Infobox broadcast}}. The discussion is located at Wikipedia:WikiProject Radio Stations/2020 infobox redesign proposal. As an editor active in editing radio and/or TV station articles, or in recent changes to the templates in question, I wanted to make you aware of this proposal and kindly ask for your feedback.

Hi,
How would you prefer to put it? There's enough evidence to say 1999 was a U.S. women's sports record, but the world record claim is more than doubtful by now, and does a disservice to women's sports and its history. (The sources repeating it were often in good faith, but were unreliable themselves.)
The 1971 attendances aren't going away, so it will be necessary to mention them in the 1999 article if it's going to stay relevant.
Apologies for not following WP:LEADCITE, which I didn't know about. It doesn't seem to apply to everything... like this uncited sentence in the introduction:
The tournament was considered a "watershed moment" for women's sports in the U.S.
Nowhere in the article is this backed up – no source uses the phrase for women's sports in general, only for 1999's significance for soccer or the USWNT.
- Demokra ( talk) 06:54, 2 July 2020 (UTC)
That is nowhere near enough.
Two other times the article talks unquestioningly about 90,185 "(setting) a world/international record", which now changes mysteriously to be only a "claim" in the Final section, with no further information. The supposed record is a central part of the 1999 article.
Just adding the passage above (which you wrote) would be a lot less inconsistent. The 1999 article now seems to be designed to mislead on this issue.
Does every change need to go through you? You're not the page's WP:OWNER, and "Featured Article" is not a euphemism for "Do Not Edit". - Demokra ( talk) 05:00, 7 July 2020 (UTC)

Dear Sounderbruce; I am responding to your note where you admittedly took the liberty to remove the City of University Place the notation of Dr. Stan Flemming as the Founding Mayor of the city. I believe if you had taken the time to do the proper research, you would have found under the City's very first Proclamation dated August 31, 1995 the listing of Mayor Flemming, who signed that proclammation as the Founding Mayor and all other first city councilmembers. Please do not think you're the only subject matter expert on this topic. Likewise, would be grateful if you would so kindly reinstate the deletions you saw fit to remove.
With regards to Peach Acres, that property is equally of a historical nature and is a stand-alone address/site on map quest and other map location sites. Please do not take liberties that you are not knowledgeable or entitled to forward. thank you, steve Stevefranklin06 ( talk) 07:05, 16 July 2020 (UTC)
We have no article about it as a separate category, rather than a brand label for an added level of developer pretentiousness, which is all I saw in the couple of dozen articles using the term. Real estate developers have a well-earned reputation for mendaciousness and audaciousness, and their jargon is often a disgrace to the human race as language-using animals. If you really believe that it exists as a distinct thing in and of itself, please turn the redirect into a solid, well-sourced article, and I'll applaud your research and cheerfully revert myself. -- Orange Mike | Talk 00:31, 18 July 2020 (UTC)

Hey, I was able to find the National Register nomination for the ranger station at the National Archives website (the place to look for them now). It really isn't much help, though, as far as historical information ... after a lengthy description of the buildings involved, the statement of significance where (from my experience with New York's SHPO) I would expect to find some information about how it came to be and how it has evolved is a single, boilerplate paragraph on page 6. Oh well ... good enough ror government work in this instance I guess. Daniel Case ( talk) 06:27, 28 July 2020 (UTC)

I am the user who nominated Fort Saskatchewan for GA status. You "claimed" it for review on July 7th and stated that the review would take a week or so, so I just wanted to follow up and see if you will complete the review soon.

SounderBruce, why did you undo my edit? To me, synthesis of sources really does not fit. I'm not trying to show any relationship, thereby expressing a point of view, between the two facts that I cite to a single source. I report them as two separate facts, not expressing any point of view about any relationship. So, to my way of thinking, that does not work. So, what was it? I'm puzzled, particularly considering that on your page it says to be kind to new editors. Truth Is King 24 ( talk) 17:47, 17 August 2020 (UTC)
I'm copying this exchange from my talk page. I would appreciate an answer. Truth Is King 24 ( talk) 05:59, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
Please read through WP:SYNTH, which concerns the synthesis of published material. While you did add a valid citation, the prose added includes analysis that is not appropriate. A good secondary source like the Bellevue Reporter or Puget Sound Business Journal would be better for discussing the number of projects and their impact, rather than adding up the individual entries on the city's project list. Sounder Bruce 19:42, 17 August 2020 (UTC)
Why did you undo my edit? wp:lead states: "The lead should stand on its own as a concise overview of the article's topic." The article's topic is Hovander Homestead Park - not the Hovander family. So I changed it so that it was a concise overview of the park. I'm very confused by your behavior. In both this case and in your undo of my Bellevue edits, you chose an aggressive response of undoing my edits with only a brief reference to a policy, which actually did not support your undo. But Wikipedia policy clearly encourages a friendlier and more helpful response, where some notice is given before an edit is undone. Truth Is King 24 ( talk) 05:59, 18 August 2020 (UTC)

The fourth round of the competition has finished, with 865 points being required to qualify for the final round, nearly twice as many points as last year. It was a hotly competitive round with two contestants with 598 and 605 points being eliminated, and all but two of the contestants who reached the final round having achieved an FA during the round. The highest scorers were
Between them, contestants achieved 14 featured articles, 14 featured lists, 2 featured pictures, 87 good articles, 90 DYK entries, 75 ITN entries, 95 featured article candidate reviews and 81 good article reviews. Congratulations to all who participated! It was a generally high-scoring and productive round and I think we can expect a highly competitive finish to the competition.

I like what you did for the captions on the Bellevue article. For an article on Bellevue, WA, I guess it makes sense that we don't have to specify "WA" in a caption. One thing, is there some way, "inspect element" or something like that, where you can tell when a photograph was taken. I put "cerca" because I was sort of guessing, just based on which buildings were there, and also my memory of when the various buildings were built, so I was really not sure.

Please explain your deletions of images on the basis that they are not "necessary." That is not a satisfactory reason. We have many images on Wikipedia. None are "necessary." In fact, the articles themselves are not "necessary."
If you wish to delete a contribution from an editor, please provide an appropriate reason that accords with policy. And note that WP policy is that "The purpose of an image is to increase readers' understanding of the article's subject matter, usually by directly depicting people, things, activities, and concepts described in the article."
Of try this -- start deleting images from articles on US presidents, as "not necessary," and see what reaction you get from others.
Indeed -- how would you feel if someone deleted one or more of your images, as "not necessary?" I would think that you of all people would recognize that that is not WP policy, and is not helpful nor collegial editing. -- 2604:2000:E010:1100:317D:1647:F589:7389 ( talk) 06:26, 3 September 2020 (UTC)

The 2020 WikiCup has come to an end, with the final round going down to the wire. Our new Champion is Lee Vilenski ( submissions), the runner-up last year, who was closely followed by Gog the Mild ( submissions). In the final round, Lee achieved 4 FAs and 30 GAs, mostly on cue sport topics, while Gog achieved 3 FAs and 15 GAs, mostly on important battles and wars, which earned him a high number of bonus points. The Rambling Man ( submissions) was in third place with 4 FAs and 8 GAs on football topics, with Epicgenius ( submissions) close behind with 19 GAs and 16 DYK's, his interest being the buildings of New York.
The other finalists were Hog Farm ( submissions), HaEr48 ( submissions), Harrias ( submissions) and Bloom6132 ( submissions). The final round was very productive, and besides 15 FAs, contestants achieved 75 FAC reviews, 88 GAs and 108 GAN reviews. Altogether, Wikipedia has benefited greatly from the activities of WikiCup competitors all through the contest. Well done everyone!
All those who reached the final will receive awards and the following special awards will be made, based on high performance in particular areas of content creation. So that the finalists do not have an undue advantage, these prizes are awarded to the competitor who scored the highest in any particular field in a single round, or in the event of a tie, to the overall leader in this field.
Next year's competition will begin on 1 January. You are invited to sign up to participate; the WikiCup is open to all Wikipedians, both novices and experienced editors, and we hope to see you all in the 2021 competition. Until then, it only remains to once again congratulate our worthy winners, and thank all participants for their involvement!
