Hi there,
A page you fully protected for 7 days ( https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Assyrian_people&diff=960450782&oldid=960430632) last week is now has no protection. It was under the indefinite semi-protection for persistent unconstructive edits before the additional full-protection ( https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Special:Log&page=Assyrian+people) but after the full protection has been expired, the previous semi-protection has also been automatically removed. I thought this was not your intention, so I just wanted to let you know as you might want to restore the previous protection level (before the full protection). This is one of the high-visibility pages in Wikipedia and is notorious for its conflicts. Kind regards, 85.111.53.62 ( talk) 09:15, 11 June 2020 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Engblom v. Carey, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Fourteenth Amendment ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Hello Wugapodes,
NPP Sorting can be a great way to find pages needing new page patrolling that match your strengths and interests. Using ORES, it divides articles into topics such as Literature or Chemistry and on Geography. Take a look and see if you can find time to patrol a couple pages a day. With over 10,000 pages in the queue, the highest it's been since ACPERM, your help could really make a difference.
In late February, Google added 5 new languages to Google Translate: Kinyarwanda, Odia (Oriya), Tatar, Turkmen and Uyghur. This expands our ability to find and evaluate sources in those languages.

News and updates for administrators from the past month (June 2020).
RfC regarding on-wiki harassment. The RfC has been posted at Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Anti-harassment RfC and is open to comments from the community.
all discussions about pharmaceutical drug prices and pricing and for edits adding, changing, or removing pharmaceutical drug prices or pricing from articles.
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! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove your name from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

Speaking of The Sounds of the World's Languages, I never quite understood why that page is a redirect to Ladefoged when the book is cited in so many articles it has a dedicated template and he isn't the sole author. It's been cited by thousands of publications (if Google Scholar is anything to go by) and has reviews in some prominent journals, so I have to assume it passes WP:NBOOK. But I don't know what to write beyond a substub so I've been having second thoughts, then I realized you're the perfect one to take a stab at it. Just an idea. Nardog ( talk) 08:58, 5 July 2020 (UTC)

I just saw this, as you'd linked it from the RfArb. Thank you for putting that together—it was interesting to see a formal approach to the question of trend lines. It's always intuitively struck me as a faulty concept, and an example of confirmation bias and overinterpetation of noise. Sort of like repeating statistical significance testing again and again, and then stopping a study once the p value crosses the 0.05 threshold. But it's neat to see formal validation. Thank you for that—I'll remember to bring my R questions to you in the future. :) MastCell Talk 17:59, 9 July 2020 (UTC)
Like, if I look at the box score of a completed baseball game and notice a scoring trend, and then pick an event that happened somewhere around the time that the trend started, that would be really weak sauce in terms of causal inference. I suppose that if, at the time of a specific comment or event, an editor identified it as a potential tide-turner in real time and then prospectively validated that hypothesis, that might be somewhat stronger—analogous to pre-registration of clinical trials and pre-specification of endpoints.
Anyhow, just thinking out loud. It's a pleasure to have someone to discuss these questions with, and I'm curious about your thoughts. Take care. MastCell Talk 21:28, 13 July 2020 (UTC)
Hi, per the first part of
this thread, you edited
Module:NewDYKnomination to deal with nomination templates containing slashes in their names. Well, we got what I think is the first such nom since then (and the first I ever recall with two slashes). The
nomination for Fluticasone furoate/umeclidinium bromide/vilanterol did {{
DYK nompage links}} perfectly, with the correct |nompage=
, but in the {{
DYKmake}}, it got the |subpage=
wrong. I'd appreciate it if you could look into this again....

Hi. Please could you remove Category:Example category from {{ Editnotices/Page/User:Wugapodes/sandbox}}? At the moment it's adding to the backlog at Special:WantedCategories. Not only should you never add red-linked categories to any page per WP:REDNOT, arguably it's a user page and so should never have any categories per WP:USERNOCAT.FYI, the "official" test categories are in the Category:Xn hierarchy.

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
I object to locking the article right after user:Volunteer Marek removed large portions of material. This is an attempt to influence the AfD by removing content and sources. He also falsely claimed he was removing BLP violations when everything was sourced to reliable sources. He removed CNN, the Washington Post, and Politico as sources. How can people fairly evaluate the article at AfD when he basically just blanked the article? Please reconsider.-- Rusf10 ( talk) 21:49, 19 July 2020 (UTC)

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! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove your name from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

Speaking of The Sounds of the World's Languages, I never quite understood why that page is a redirect to Ladefoged when the book is cited in so many articles it has a dedicated template and he isn't the sole author. It's been cited by thousands of publications (if Google Scholar is anything to go by) and has reviews in some prominent journals, so I have to assume it passes WP:NBOOK. But I don't know what to write beyond a substub so I've been having second thoughts, then I realized you're the perfect one to take a stab at it. Just an idea. Nardog ( talk) 08:58, 5 July 2020 (UTC)

I just saw this, as you'd linked it from the RfArb. Thank you for putting that together—it was interesting to see a formal approach to the question of trend lines. It's always intuitively struck me as a faulty concept, and an example of confirmation bias and overinterpetation of noise. Sort of like repeating statistical significance testing again and again, and then stopping a study once the p value crosses the 0.05 threshold. But it's neat to see formal validation. Thank you for that—I'll remember to bring my R questions to you in the future. :) MastCell Talk 17:59, 9 July 2020 (UTC)
Like, if I look at the box score of a completed baseball game and notice a scoring trend, and then pick an event that happened somewhere around the time that the trend started, that would be really weak sauce in terms of causal inference. I suppose that if, at the time of a specific comment or event, an editor identified it as a potential tide-turner in real time and then prospectively validated that hypothesis, that might be somewhat stronger—analogous to pre-registration of clinical trials and pre-specification of endpoints.
Anyhow, just thinking out loud. It's a pleasure to have someone to discuss these questions with, and I'm curious about your thoughts. Take care. MastCell Talk 21:28, 13 July 2020 (UTC)
Hi, per the first part of
this thread, you edited
Module:NewDYKnomination to deal with nomination templates containing slashes in their names. Well, we got what I think is the first such nom since then (and the first I ever recall with two slashes). The
nomination for Fluticasone furoate/umeclidinium bromide/vilanterol did {{
DYK nompage links}} perfectly, with the correct |nompage=
, but in the {{
DYKmake}}, it got the |subpage=
wrong. I'd appreciate it if you could look into this again....

Hi. Please could you remove Category:Example category from {{ Editnotices/Page/User:Wugapodes/sandbox}}? At the moment it's adding to the backlog at Special:WantedCategories. Not only should you never add red-linked categories to any page per WP:REDNOT, arguably it's a user page and so should never have any categories per WP:USERNOCAT.FYI, the "official" test categories are in the Category:Xn hierarchy.

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
I object to locking the article right after user:Volunteer Marek removed large portions of material. This is an attempt to influence the AfD by removing content and sources. He also falsely claimed he was removing BLP violations when everything was sourced to reliable sources. He removed CNN, the Washington Post, and Politico as sources. How can people fairly evaluate the article at AfD when he basically just blanked the article? Please reconsider.-- Rusf10 ( talk) 21:49, 19 July 2020 (UTC)
Not clear why we would discuss reinstating BLP smears that are not based on the weight of or for that matter on any RS interpretation that supports them. SPECIFICO talk 01:19, 20 July 2020 (UTC)

Hey. I've proposed a few changes/additions to the GS system of templates. Wondering if you might be interested / have any thoughts to add, since you created a couple sanction-specific templates in the area. The threads are alert proposals, talk notice proposal, and using alert as a proxy for both DS/GS. Thanks! ProcrastinatingReader ( talk) 14:28, 26 July 2020 (UTC)
