Happy New Year, Happy New Decade and Happy New WikiCup! The competition begins today and all article creators, expanders and improvers are welcome to take part. If you have already signed up, your submissions page can be found here. If you have not yet signed up, you can add your name here and the judges will set up your submissions page. We are relaxing the rule that only content on which you have completed significant work during 2020 will count; now to be eligible for points in the competition, you must have completed significant work on the content at some time! Any questions on the rules or on anything else connected to the Cup should be directed to one of the judges, or posted to the WikiCup talk page. Signups will close at the end of January, and the first round will end on 26 February; the 64 highest scorers at that time will move on to round 2. Good luck! The judges for the WikiCup are Sturmvogel 66 ( talk · contribs · email), Godot13 ( talk · contribs · email), Vanamonde93 ( talk · contribs · email) and Cwmhiraeth ( talk) 11:43, 1 January 2020 (UTC)
Hey, Wugapodes! I'm working on Kifli, which is scheduled for a PotD appearance January 20, and I'd like to make sure we don't link from the main page to an article that is just plain embarrassing. It's got some linguistics (mostly a list of the name of the item in various languages). Would you have time to take a look? I'm not looking for more than what you'd normally do if you woke up Jan 20, clicked to the PotD, and thought "ai, geez, that's an obvious error and I can fix it in three minutes." --valereee ( talk) 13:53, 3 January 2020 (UTC)

Wugapodes, WugBot hasn't made an edit since 01:01, even though there were DYK nominations to move and/or delete at the next run two hours later, and of course every two hours after that. I'm not sure what's causing the problem—there's nothing obvious on the Nominations page or the Approved page, but I could easily be missing something—or the bot could simply be down.

Hi Wugapodes. Thank you for jumping in to help with the ANI discussion. Do you think it would be inappropriate for me to start a BLPN discussion about the reliability of the sources for the current RfC, currently used in the article? Some major reliability problems have been brought up by Barkeep49 [9], and there's a verifiability problem with using the Forbes profile.

Wugapodes, congratulations on your first prep to queue promotion. Thanks for helping out—keeping up with a two-a-day pace is taxing the admins who are active at DYK these days.
There is one final step to the process that you didn't get around to (I took care of it for you this time): once you've moved the prep contents to the queue and added the DYKbotdo there, and cleared the prep, the last thing is to update the Prep count so the next prep to be promoted is moved to the head of the line. There's a link for that just below the "Prep areas" header on the Queue page, in the "NOTE:" line, where it gives the current prep as the one you just promoted: click where it says " update count". This will open an edit window where the first digit is the number of the prep you just promoted to queue. You need to increment the number by 1, so 1 goes to 2, 2 to 3, etc.; since there are only six preps, if it's at 6, change it to 1.
We keep the preps and queues synchronized, so if you're promoting Prep 1, it goes to Queue 1, etc. (Every once in a blue moon they become unmoored, but we quickly get them realigned again.) If you have any questions, I'm happy to answer them. Welcome aboard! BlueMoonset ( talk) 08:25, 28 January 2020 (UTC)

not sure if "Congratulations" are really the right thing to say. if enwiki is anything like hewiki, i'd guess "condolences" and "thank you for the sacrifice" are more appropriate things to say to those volunteering to put their necks under the "admin" yoke. so, please accept my condolences. peace - קיפודנחש (aka kipod) ( talk) 02:11, 31 January 2020 (UTC)

First, a congratulations (belatedly) on your successful RfA!
The other item I wanted to address with you is a minor fix to your Capricorn user script. Per this discussion, it appears the script is removing the blank line between the redirect target link and rcat templates, and which WP:REDCAT recommends to keep. Would you please adjust the script so that it retains the blank line? I know this is a really minor thing, but it really does make the wikicode more readable.

If you look through the history on Jimbo's user page, you may notice a lot of vandalism on it, and most of it is over the period of January 20-February 4, and the editor's who vandalized it had made a bunch of nonsense edits, so I was wondering if you could semi protect it for about a week or so, to discourage to vandals who are causing this?
on a side note could you please fix the number of edit filter helpers from 22 to 21, because the info is inaccurate, and the page is semi protected, so I can't edit it. the link is here 96.230.240.122 ( talk) 01:16, 5 February 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for closing the discussion. Although I don't agree with your reading of the consensus in the discussion and think it would be overturned in a WP:MR discussion, since the current title is not appropriate under WP:AT and there were very few editors who opposed the title 2019 novel coronavirus (3 who said wait, 1 who proposed a title that was already rejected in the previous discussion's consensus, 1 who did not seem to have a grasp of the conversation and thought a redlinked title was the common name), I don't intend to argue that with you very strenuously here. And as you said, it might be superseded at that point by a different official title. However, I would appreciate it if you would clarify on the talk page that the close is a "no consensus" close in your reading. There doesn't appear to be any procedural issue in the formulation of the request or the discussion that would result in a procedural close, so the outcome should be based either on finding a consensus in the discussion or not finding one. Best, Dekimasu よ! 05:19, 8 February 2020 (UTC)
[I]t doesn't prevent a second rename, but that would be needless churn. Reading the comments here, the sole point of contention is that we want something better than "2019 nCoV" but don't have anything. Many other comments here are either "oppose, wait for a better name" or "support, although I wish there were a better name", so we can consider this rename discussion a mandate to switch to a new official name when it exists and appears to be gaining traction.After Hemiauchenia's comment, the proportion of support to oppose opinions shifted dramatically, and many opposers cited Hemiauchenia's comments explicitly as leading them to oppose. Meanwhile two editors who originally supported the proposal changed their opinion to "wait" after engaging with that argument. While the early discussion tilted towards "2019 novel coronavirus", after more participants joined and engaged in critical discussion, the opposition managed to convince supporters to change their minds. Supporters convinced no opposers.While the opposers, numerically, were not many, among those editors who considered those arguments, they were considered very convincing and significant. By comparison, supporters abandoned their position, showing that participants didn't find that position as convincing. So I discounted supports in comparison to the "wait" opposes. Despite that, the sheer number of supports indicates that while the oppose votes were convincing, there was no consensus that they were the correct path. Thus no consensus. — Wug· a·po·des 05:56, 8 February 2020 (UTC)
organization responsible for assigning a permanent nameis only relevant if, upon assigning that name, they convince all the sources to follow suit and start using the new name. Which is far from certain. And in any case, if that does happen, we can change our article again. For now though, those voting for the "novel coronavirus" title have the numeric consensus and also the clear weight of policy behind them, so there's really no other way that this RM can end. Cheers, and wishing you a happy weekend — Amakuru ( talk) 22:21, 8 February 2020 (UTC)

Hello Wugapodes,
The first NPP source guide discussion is now underway. It covers a wide range of sources in Ghana with the goal of providing more guidance to reviewers about sources they might see when reviewing pages. Hopefully, new page reviewers will join others interested in reliable sources and those with expertise in these sources to make the discussion a success.
New to NPP? Looking to try something a little different? Consider patrolling some redirects. Redirects are relatively easy to review, can be found easily through the New Pages Feed. You can find more information about how to patrol redirects at WP:RPATROL.
Geographic regions, areas and places generally do not need general notability guideline type sourcing. When evaluating whether an article meets this notability guideline please also consider whether it might actually be a form of WP:SPAM for a development project (e.g. PR for a large luxury residential development) and not actually covered by the guideline.

Wugapodes, congratulations on your first prep to queue promotion. Thanks for helping out—keeping up with a two-a-day pace is taxing the admins who are active at DYK these days.
There is one final step to the process that you didn't get around to (I took care of it for you this time): once you've moved the prep contents to the queue and added the DYKbotdo there, and cleared the prep, the last thing is to update the Prep count so the next prep to be promoted is moved to the head of the line. There's a link for that just below the "Prep areas" header on the Queue page, in the "NOTE:" line, where it gives the current prep as the one you just promoted: click where it says " update count". This will open an edit window where the first digit is the number of the prep you just promoted to queue. You need to increment the number by 1, so 1 goes to 2, 2 to 3, etc.; since there are only six preps, if it's at 6, change it to 1.
We keep the preps and queues synchronized, so if you're promoting Prep 1, it goes to Queue 1, etc. (Every once in a blue moon they become unmoored, but we quickly get them realigned again.) If you have any questions, I'm happy to answer them. Welcome aboard! BlueMoonset ( talk) 08:25, 28 January 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for closing the discussion. Although I don't agree with your reading of the consensus in the discussion and think it would be overturned in a WP:MR discussion, since the current title is not appropriate under WP:AT and there were very few editors who opposed the title 2019 novel coronavirus (3 who said wait, 1 who proposed a title that was already rejected in the previous discussion's consensus, 1 who did not seem to have a grasp of the conversation and thought a redlinked title was the common name), I don't intend to argue that with you very strenuously here. And as you said, it might be superseded at that point by a different official title. However, I would appreciate it if you would clarify on the talk page that the close is a "no consensus" close in your reading. There doesn't appear to be any procedural issue in the formulation of the request or the discussion that would result in a procedural close, so the outcome should be based either on finding a consensus in the discussion or not finding one.

[I]t doesn't prevent a second rename, but that would be needless churn. Reading the comments here, the sole point of contention is that we want something better than "2019 nCoV" but don't have anything. Many other comments here are either "oppose, wait for a better name" or "support, although I wish there were a better name", so we can consider this rename discussion a mandate to switch to a new official name when it exists and appears to be gaining traction.After Hemiauchenia's comment, the proportion of support to oppose opinions shifted dramatically, and many opposers cited Hemiauchenia's comments explicitly as leading them to oppose. Meanwhile two editors who originally supported the proposal changed their opinion to "wait" after engaging with that argument. While the early discussion tilted towards "2019 novel coronavirus", after more participants joined and engaged in critical discussion, the opposition managed to convince supporters to change their minds. Supporters convinced no opposers.While the opposers, numerically, were not many, among those editors who considered those arguments, they were considered very convincing and significant. By comparison, supporters abandoned their position, showing that participants didn't find that position as convincing. So I discounted supports in comparison to the "wait" opposes. Despite that, the sheer number of supports indicates that while the oppose votes were convincing, there was no consensus that they were the correct path. Thus no consensus. — Wug· a·po·des 05:56, 8 February 2020 (UTC)
organization responsible for assigning a permanent nameis only relevant if, upon assigning that name, they convince all the sources to follow suit and start using the new name. Which is far from certain. And in any case, if that does happen, we can change our article again. For now though, those voting for the "novel coronavirus" title have the numeric consensus and also the clear weight of policy behind them, so there's really no other way that this RM can end.

Hello Wugapodes,
The first NPP source guide discussion is now underway. It covers a wide range of sources in Ghana with the goal of providing more guidance to reviewers about sources they might see when reviewing pages. Hopefully, new page reviewers will join others interested in reliable sources and those with expertise in these sources to make the discussion a success.
New to NPP? Looking to try something a little different? Consider patrolling some redirects. Redirects are relatively easy to review, can be found easily through the New Pages Feed. You can find more information about how to patrol redirects at WP:RPATROL.
Geographic regions, areas and places generally do not need general notability guideline type sourcing. When evaluating whether an article meets this notability guideline please also consider whether it might actually be a form of WP:SPAM for a development project (e.g. PR for a large luxury residential development) and not actually covered by the guideline.

I saw your comment at RFA and got curious about Jordan Hall. When it comes back, here are some weak to middling sources that I dug up:
With the addition of some prison experiment sources to the above, I'd say the bare minimum is there to establish notability. ThatMontrealIP ( talk) 06:02, 13 February 2020 (UTC)
