Hi Bruce, I noticed you put that the Notable People section in the Coeur d'Alene, Idaho article needs to have further verification. I think you're totally right, but I dont want to take the time to go through that list and define who should be included in it, and find citations for all of them, etc. Most city articles just dump the list onto a side article so random IPs dont feel tempted to tack on their favorite celebrities. But the thing is, as an unregistered IP, I can't create a page so I have been asking in the edit summaries on the CDA article and on the talk pages of registered editors like Jdubman to create the redlinked List of people from Coeur d'Alene, Idaho sub-article under the section header but havent had any takers yet.
If you could create that Notable People page and dump that list of people in there, that would be a great helping hand. And yes, I know I can register for free but I just dont want to. Thanks for helping us out with the page, Bruce! 2001:5B0:4FC0:68A8:50B4:5A3A:EA1F:ACE5 ( talk) 07:25, 9 November 2020 (UTC)
On 13 December 2020, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article MLS Cup 2020, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that MLS Cup 2020 will feature Seattle Sounders FC for the fourth time in five years? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/MLS Cup 2020. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, MLS Cup 2020), and it may be added to the statistics page if it received over 400 views per hour. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

I looked at the Swedish Medical Center article just last week while doing some improvements to the Providence Everett article and saw that someone is trying to add an unsourced controversies section to the article while undoing any reverts to it from multiple IP addresses. I have already asked the person doing this to explain a need for one on the talk page, yet there isn't an entry from the person on there. I suspect that the only reason there hasn't been a prolonged edit war on there is due to the fact that the edit was, for the most part, left there for close to two months. I feel like a proper controversies section is warranted, but I'm not interested in gathering resources to add it right now, so I would like your opinion on how to address this issue. I know there aren't enough recent revisions to warrant article protection, but I have a feeling that this unnamed user will continue to attempt the controversies addition until an administrator takes action. -- SmartAn01 ( talk) 07:47, 20 January 2021 (UTC)

Hi there! Thank you for your interest in our campaign to improve the public's knowledge about local newspapers. Time has flown since we got going in September, and our six month campaign ends in just a month! We'd like to check in with you about work you have done, or any articles you'd like to write or edit to do before we wrap up.
We published a mid-campaign report, highlighting strong work from several Wikipedia editors (both new wiki folks and veterans); contributions from Kristy Roschke's journalism course at Arizona State University; and strong engagement from groups like AfroCROWD and Wikimedians of the Caribbean.
As we begin our final push, we would love to learn what you have been working on, or help you with any challenges. We're hosting several informal video conference sessions in the next week. (If that format is no good for you, just let us know.) We'd love to hear what newspapers have caught your interest, any articles you've already written, and also any kind of support you could use in writing up newspapers that lack Wikipedia entries. We'll focus especially on newspapers of the Caribbean in our final month, as we continue to work on Black-owned U.S. newspapers, and newspapers of Washington State.
Please register for one of these Zoom meetings. If these times don't work for you, or if you hate Zoom, etc., just reply here (please include the text "[[User:Peteforsyth]] and [[User:Shanluan]]
" so we get notifications), and we'll find another way to connect with you.
We hope to hear from you soon! - Pete Forsyth ( talk) 00:50, 30 January 2021 (UTC)
I drafted a paragraph or two talking about the 2018 plot by an Everett student to shoot up ACES High School. While there is a sentence already covering it in the Mukilteo article, I feel that it is notable enough to be included with further detail in either the Kamiak High School or the Mukilteo School District article also, but I am kind of split on which article is the best fit for it and would like your advice. On the one hand, Kamiak was the initial target of the student; on the other hand, the school district operates both ACES and Kamiak. I have the section up on the Kamiak article, but if you feel that the district article is more appropriate for the section, I am more than willing to move the section to the district article and put a short statement on the Kamiak article noting the original intention of the student.
Also, I noticed that you have a picture of Kamiak included in the Mukilteo article. I would like to know if you are okay with its possible inclusion in the school's infobox. Thanks in advance. SmartAn01 ( talk) 02:32, 30 January 2021 (UTC)
Greetings SounderBruce, I am a COI editor working now on two draft articles, one for Daniel Sillman and the other for Relevent Sports Group. I noticed that you have a strong interest in soccer from your user page, and that you have also created a link to the International Champions Cup and a red link to Relevent Sports Group in an edit you made to Bank of America Stadium. Could you take a look at my drafts, and see if they are ready for main space, and if you think they are not yet ready, could you suggest what I can do to get these articles there. Thanks so much.

Could you please stop just removing relevant content without discussion? The article on the city I live in is not owned by you. I strongly disagree with your judgement and opinion - noting that's what "too many links in intro" and doubting reliability of Census estimates is; not to mention the unexplaind removal of mention of Link light rail (which is kind of a huge deal in Kent). I'm more than willing to set-up an account and take this to an admin if needed.

You need to conduct yourself with a bit more humility and introspection re: your behavior on this article. You act as though you own it and just delete whatever info. you decide doesn't fit YOUR vision for the article. Never mind that it's sourced, never mind that other users like it, never mind that any reasonable person would find it interesting - the article must certainly meet your personal requirements above all else. As someone who first edited Wikipedia in 2005 and many moons ago was an admin., I find that a reprehensible misconduct of a senior editor like yourself.

I hope you understand the hypocrisy in telling me to not revert your edit when you twice reverted mine. Doesn't even make sense. I would encourage you to look at other American public transit systems such as Los Angeles, NYC, or Boston. I would also encourage looking at Chinese and Korean systems. They all follow this precedent. Sorting tables are never used because it is illogical to order the stations in any way other than that which they exist along the line. There is no value to ordering them alphabetically or by opening date. Timelines of extension are included elsewhere in the article.
Second, the color banners on tables are certainly optional but they are widely on wikipedia for transit systems with multiple lines. Again see Chinese and Korean metros as well as the Los Angeles metro rail system. though an argument can be certainly made for the case that since Line 2 has not opened yet there is no need for the banners.
In reality, there is no reason to get worked up over the edits I have made. It makes the table more consistent with the those from articles of other metro rail systems. And understand the hypocrisy of accusing me of starting an edit war when you reverted my edit first. ```` — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cerviche ( talk • contribs) 03:00, 25 February 2021 (UTC)

Round 1 of the competition has finished; it was a high-scoring round with 21 contestants scoring more than 100 points. Everyone with a positive score moves on to Round 2, with 55 contestants qualifying. You will need to finish among the top thirty-two contestants in Round 2 if you are to qualify for Round 3. Our top scorers in Round 1 were:
These contestants, like all the others, now have to start again from scratch. In Round 1, contestants achieved eight featured articles, three featured lists and one featured picture, as well as around two hundred DYKs and twenty-seven ITNs. They completed 97 good article reviews, nearly double the 52 good articles they claimed. Contestants also claimed for 135 featured article and featured list candidate reviews. There is no longer a requirement to mention your WikiCup participation when undertaking these reviews.
Remember that any content promoted after the end of Round 1 but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is a good article candidate, a featured process, or something else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews.
If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to keep down the review backlogs!

About two weeks ago, I placed a newly created template for MLS on ESPN in the article for MLS Cup 2019. You immediately removed it without giving a formal explanation, even though sources indicate that the game aired on ESPN's sister network, ABC that year. We know this for sure, because Fox Sports had the rights to the All-Star Game that year, since it currently only has the rights to the MLS Cup in even numbered years. What, we're not supposed to tell readers who broadcasts the MLS' championship game (outside of the article listing the broadcasters in itself) in the respective article?

The second round of the 2021 WikiCup has now finished; it was a high-scoring round and contestants needed 61 points to advance to Round 3. There were some impressive efforts in the round, with the top eight contestants all scoring more than 400 points. A large number of the points came from the 12 featured articles and the 110 good articles achieved in total by contestants, as well as the 216 good article reviews they performed; the GAN backlog drive and the stay-at-home imperative during the COVID-19 pandemic may have been partially responsible for these impressive figures.

Since you brought up the topic of featured articles, I would recommend looking at MTR and AirTrain JFK. Those are in line with the changes I made to the Link articles. The changes do in fact make the article better as it makes the stations table more consistent with the formatting used on other peer reviewed featured articles. In fact, the MTR article is considered one fo the gold standard articles for metro systems on wikipedia. Just because you don't like the change does not mean you can claim it's bad. You have no justification for why the table should be sortable when this is not done on other featured project trains articles. As I said above, it's illogical for the table to be sortable. The use of color is debatable but again, among featured articles in Project Trains there is plenty of precedent for this formatting choice. Articles can always be improved. Just because Line 1 (Sound Transit) is featured does not mean it is immune to changes.

Good morning SounderBruce,
I'm pretty sure I've seen you on the AARoads Forum as well as here, which is quite a coincidence.
I see you had improved Everett, Washington to GA status but were unable to get past the FAC. You also have other articles that you improved to featured article status. I'm currently trying to get Buffalo, New York to at least GA status, as I was able to do so with Utica, New York in the past.

Hi, please be specific about which part of the article "Ningbo" you think needs more citations to make it more reliable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 喂番茄 ( talk • contribs) 02:12, 19 May 2021 (UTC)
I've been watching your edits regarding infobox flags at Seattle. I'm not sure if this has gone to an RfC, but there seems to be a lot of editors who don't feel they improve articles.
I have also been wanting to pursue an RfC about promotional rankings in city articles. A consensus was reached about this by Canadian editors here, but I'm not sure how editors of US city articles feel about them. If you have a moment, please have a look at Talk:Carmel, Indiana#Promotional content. Cheers. Magnolia677 ( talk) 10:11, 22 May 2021 (UTC)

Wht are you removing the ACS data. We use it as a reliable source on 100s if not 1000s of wikipages? The census data is not scheduled until late September and this year everything has been delayed by two months. The ACS is more accurate than the 2010 census numbers.

Hi Bruce, I noticed you put that the Notable People section in the Coeur d'Alene, Idaho article needs to have further verification. I think you're totally right, but I dont want to take the time to go through that list and define who should be included in it, and find citations for all of them, etc. Most city articles just dump the list onto a side article so random IPs dont feel tempted to tack on their favorite celebrities. But the thing is, as an unregistered IP, I can't create a page so I have been asking in the edit summaries on the CDA article and on the talk pages of registered editors like Jdubman to create the redlinked List of people from Coeur d'Alene, Idaho sub-article under the section header but havent had any takers yet.
If you could create that Notable People page and dump that list of people in there, that would be a great helping hand. And yes, I know I can register for free but I just dont want to. Thanks for helping us out with the page, Bruce! 2001:5B0:4FC0:68A8:50B4:5A3A:EA1F:ACE5 ( talk) 07:25, 9 November 2020 (UTC)

I looked at the Swedish Medical Center article just last week while doing some improvements to the Providence Everett article and saw that someone is trying to add an unsourced controversies section to the article while undoing any reverts to it from multiple IP addresses. I have already asked the person doing this to explain a need for one on the talk page, yet there isn't an entry from the person on there. I suspect that the only reason there hasn't been a prolonged edit war on there is due to the fact that the edit was, for the most part, left there for close to two months. I feel like a proper controversies section is warranted, but I'm not interested in gathering resources to add it right now, so I would like your opinion on how to address this issue. I know there aren't enough recent revisions to warrant article protection, but I have a feeling that this unnamed user will continue to attempt the controversies addition until an administrator takes action. -- SmartAn01 ( talk) 07:47, 20 January 2021 (UTC)

Hi there! Thank you for your interest in our campaign to improve the public's knowledge about local newspapers. Time has flown since we got going in September, and our six month campaign ends in just a month! We'd like to check in with you about work you have done, or any articles you'd like to write or edit to do before we wrap up.
We published a mid-campaign report, highlighting strong work from several Wikipedia editors (both new wiki folks and veterans); contributions from Kristy Roschke's journalism course at Arizona State University; and strong engagement from groups like AfroCROWD and Wikimedians of the Caribbean.
As we begin our final push, we would love to learn what you have been working on, or help you with any challenges. We're hosting several informal video conference sessions in the next week. (If that format is no good for you, just let us know.) We'd love to hear what newspapers have caught your interest, any articles you've already written, and also any kind of support you could use in writing up newspapers that lack Wikipedia entries. We'll focus especially on newspapers of the Caribbean in our final month, as we continue to work on Black-owned U.S. newspapers, and newspapers of Washington State.
Please register for one of these Zoom meetings. If these times don't work for you, or if you hate Zoom, etc., just reply here (please include the text "[[User:Peteforsyth]] and [[User:Shanluan]]
" so we get notifications), and we'll find another way to connect with you.
We hope to hear from you soon! - Pete Forsyth ( talk) 00:50, 30 January 2021 (UTC)
I drafted a paragraph or two talking about the 2018 plot by an Everett student to shoot up ACES High School. While there is a sentence already covering it in the Mukilteo article, I feel that it is notable enough to be included with further detail in either the Kamiak High School or the Mukilteo School District article also, but I am kind of split on which article is the best fit for it and would like your advice. On the one hand, Kamiak was the initial target of the student; on the other hand, the school district operates both ACES and Kamiak. I have the section up on the Kamiak article, but if you feel that the district article is more appropriate for the section, I am more than willing to move the section to the district article and put a short statement on the Kamiak article noting the original intention of the student.
Also, I noticed that you have a picture of Kamiak included in the Mukilteo article. I would like to know if you are okay with its possible inclusion in the school's infobox. Thanks in advance. SmartAn01 ( talk) 02:32, 30 January 2021 (UTC)

Could you take a look at my drafts, and see if they are ready for main space, and if you think they are not yet ready, could you suggest what I can do to get these articles there. Thanks so much.

Could you please stop just removing relevant content without discussion? The article on the city I live in is not owned by you. I strongly disagree with your judgement and opinion - noting that's what "too many links in intro" and doubting reliability of Census estimates is; not to mention the unexplaind removal of mention of Link light rail (which is kind of a huge deal in Kent). I'm more than willing to set-up an account and take this to an admin if needed.

You need to conduct yourself with a bit more humility and introspection re: your behavior on this article. You act as though you own it and just delete whatever info. you decide doesn't fit YOUR vision for the article. Never mind that it's sourced, never mind that other users like it, never mind that any reasonable person would find it interesting - the article must certainly meet your personal requirements above all else. As someone who first edited Wikipedia in 2005 and many moons ago was an admin., I find that a reprehensible misconduct of a senior editor like yourself.

I hope you understand the hypocrisy in telling me to not revert your edit when you twice reverted mine. Doesn't even make sense. I would encourage you to look at other American public transit systems such as Los Angeles, NYC, or Boston. I would also encourage looking at Chinese and Korean systems. They all follow this precedent. Sorting tables are never used because it is illogical to order the stations in any way other than that which they exist along the line. There is no value to ordering them alphabetically or by opening date. Timelines of extension are included elsewhere in the article.
Second, the color banners on tables are certainly optional but they are widely on wikipedia for transit systems with multiple lines. Again see Chinese and Korean metros as well as the Los Angeles metro rail system. though an argument can be certainly made for the case that since Line 2 has not opened yet there is no need for the banners.
In reality, there is no reason to get worked up over the edits I have made. It makes the table more consistent with the those from articles of other metro rail systems. And understand the hypocrisy of accusing me of starting an edit war when you reverted my edit first. ```` — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cerviche ( talk • contribs) 03:00, 25 February 2021 (UTC)

Round 1 of the competition has finished; it was a high-scoring round with 21 contestants scoring more than 100 points. Everyone with a positive score moves on to Round 2, with 55 contestants qualifying. You will need to finish among the top thirty-two contestants in Round 2 if you are to qualify for Round 3. Our top scorers in Round 1 were:
These contestants, like all the others, now have to start again from scratch. In Round 1, contestants achieved eight featured articles, three featured lists and one featured picture, as well as around two hundred DYKs and twenty-seven ITNs. They completed 97 good article reviews, nearly double the 52 good articles they claimed. Contestants also claimed for 135 featured article and featured list candidate reviews. There is no longer a requirement to mention your WikiCup participation when undertaking these reviews.
Remember that any content promoted after the end of Round 1 but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is a good article candidate, a featured process, or something else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews.

About two weeks ago, I placed a newly created template for MLS on ESPN in the article for MLS Cup 2019. You immediately removed it without giving a formal explanation, even though sources indicate that the game aired on ESPN's sister network, ABC that year. We know this for sure, because Fox Sports had the rights to the All-Star Game that year, since it currently only has the rights to the MLS Cup in even numbered years.

The second round of the 2021 WikiCup has now finished; it was a high-scoring round and contestants needed 61 points to advance to Round 3. There were some impressive efforts in the round, with the top eight contestants all scoring more than 400 points. A large number of the points came from the 12 featured articles and the 110 good articles achieved in total by contestants, as well as the 216 good article reviews they performed; the GAN backlog drive and the stay-at-home imperative during the COVID-19 pandemic may have been partially responsible for these impressive figures.

Since you brought up the topic of featured articles, I would recommend looking at MTR and AirTrain JFK. Those are in line with the changes I made to the Link articles. The changes do in fact make the article better as it makes the stations table more consistent with the formatting used on other peer reviewed featured articles. In fact, the MTR article is considered one fo the gold standard articles for metro systems on wikipedia. Just because you don't like the change does not mean you can claim it's bad. You have no justification for why the table should be sortable when this is not done on other featured project trains articles. As I said above, it's illogical for the table to be sortable. The use of color is debatable but again, among featured articles in Project Trains there is plenty of precedent for this formatting choice. Articles can always be improved. Just because Line 1 (Sound Transit) is featured does not mean it is immune to changes.
It was not me who added the Twilight line to Washington I just added a source that I founded, FYI
On 15 May 2021, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Denny Centre, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status.

Good morning SounderBruce,
I'm pretty sure I've seen you on the AARoads Forum as well as here, which is quite a coincidence.
I see you had improved Everett, Washington to GA status but were unable to get past the FAC. You also have other articles that you improved to featured article status. I'm currently trying to get Buffalo, New York to at least GA status, as I was able to do so with Utica, New York in the past. It's a headache of having 30 tabs open in Firefox and taking notes in WordPad.
I'm wondering though, is the criteria between GA and FA as stringent as it may seem? Buffaboy talk 06:40, 16 May 2021 (UTC)
Hi, please be specific about which part of the article "Ningbo" you think needs more citations to make it more reliable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 喂番茄 ( talk • contribs) 02:12, 19 May 2021 (UTC)
I've been watching your edits regarding infobox flags at Seattle. I'm not sure if this has gone to an RfC, but there seems to be a lot of editors who don't feel they improve articles.
I have also been wanting to pursue an RfC about promotional rankings in city articles. A consensus was reached about this by Canadian editors here, but I'm not sure how editors of US city articles feel about them. If you have a moment, please have a look at Talk:Carmel, Indiana#Promotional content. Cheers. Magnolia677 ( talk) 10:11, 22 May 2021 (UTC)

Wht are you removing the ACS data. We use it as a reliable source on 100s if not 1000s of wikipages? The census data is not scheduled until late September and this year everything has been delayed by two months. The ACS is more accurate than the 2010 census numbers. I can take this up at the reliable sources noticeboard if you like. Patapsco913 ( talk) 22:10, 28 May 2021 (UTC)
