Hi Adam, thanks for adding 1918 United Kingdom general election to WP:Selected anniversaries/December 14. Unfortunately, that article is not in very good shape, so I was unable to use it. If you have time to add references to it sometime before the 14th, we can get it back in. Thanks. — howcheng { chat} 21:35, 12 December 2018 (UTC)

Adam Cuerden, I seriously doesn't know how to express how happy I am after seeing the wholehearted support. Many many thanks Adam Cuerden for encouraging me to try the same. Obviously I will be contributing more and more.
One more picture I have added recently, if you can have a look and if there is any correction, please retouch it. It is also, one of the rarest pictures because, picture of judge in robes is very less in wiki other than the scanned ones. Please have a look. DreamSparrow Chat 15:36, 17 December 2018 (UTC)

Adam, I'm no technical expert with regard to restorations. Simply as a viewer, I'd like a little more contrast or sharpness, but maybe the image doesn't lend itself to that sort of manipulation. You're the restoration artist.
In any case, Merry Christmas & Happy New Year.

Hi Adam. I see you replaced this with a redirect to 1919 in women's history but as far as I can see you did not incorporate any of the information in the article. I now find I can no longer access it. Have you any idea how I can retrieve it? It contains quite a lot of useful info I would have liked to include in our 2019 focus on Suffrage?-- Ipigott ( talk) 12:38, 24 December 2018 (UTC)
Adam, I wonder if I can prevail on you to work some magic, please? There's an illustration over 2 pages of The Builder, 1891, pages 890 & 891, of the side-elevation of Battersea Town Hall (aka New Parochial Offices, Battersea), in a huge PDF of The Builder, vol.61, 1891. I'm wondering if you'd be willing to use your mad skillz to snag the two images and join them together. And if you're completely in the spirit of things, there's a front-elevation of the same building on page 886 which has a distinct page-fold wrinkle bottom centre. Feel free to tun down the request - I know you're full of busy with suffragettes & such, but shy bairns get nothing, as they say. For copyright purposes, the architect died in 1908, so they're all PD. Thanks & season's greetings to you. Hope the leak didn't cause too much bother. -- Tagishsimon ( talk) 16:52, 24 December 2018 (UTC)
Methinks I see an heavenly Host Of angels on the wing; Methinks I hear their cheerful notes, So merrily they sing. Let all your fears be banished hence, Glad tidings I proclaim; For there's a Savior born today And Jesus is his name. Lay down your crooks and quit your flocks, To Bethlehem repair; And let your wandering steps be squared By yonder shining star. Seek not in courts or palaces; Nor royal curtains draw; But search the stable, See your God extended on the straw. Then learn from hence, ye rural swains, The meekness of your God, Who left the boundless realms of joy, To ransom you with blood. The master of the inn refused A more commodious place; Ungenerous soul of savage mold And destitute of grace. - from William Billings, "Shiloh" |

But now as per notification, President of India has assented to function a new High court at Amaravati as High Court of Andhra Pradesh from 01.01.2019.

Welcome to the 2019 WikiCup, the competition begins today. If you have already joined, your submission page can be found here. If you have not yet signed up, you can add your name here and we will set up your submissions page. One important rule to remember is that only content on which you have completed significant work during 2019, and which you have nominated this year, is eligible for points in the competition, the judges will be checking! Any questions should be directed to one of the judges, or left on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup. 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 make it 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 · contribs · email).

That's an impressive number, Adam. Would you consider sharing the code? Best wishes, -- Charlesjsharp ( talk) 10:48, 9 January 2019 (UTC)
@
Charlesjsharp: Sure. I should note that I'm piggybacking off some code from my User page, but the basic idea is simple enough. It needs to transclude a page, as the code's too long otherwise; in my case,
User:Adam Cuerden/FPperc which has the following code:
{{#expr:{{User:Adam Cuerden/Current FP total}}/{{PAGESINCATEGORY:Featured pictures|files|R}}*100 round 1}}%
This is a fairly simple percentage calculation. {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Featured pictures|files|R}} is what it sounds like: the number of featured pictures, or as good of an estimate as we have. {{User:Adam Cuerden/Current FP total}} is the number of FPs I have.
Now, here you're probably going to want to do it slightly differently than I do. The code in Current FP total is {{#expr:387.75+{{User:Adam Cuerden}}}}
387.75 is the number of FPs in all years previous to this one - I used fractions for some collaborations - and {{User:Adam Cuerden}} ...Has a series of <noinclude> tags that mean the only thing actually returned is the number in the phrase "These 0 restorations from the first 1 months of 2019..."
You can probably simplify this. Adam Cuerden ( talk)Has about 8.9% of all FPs 18:36, 13 January 2019 (UTC)

In the "assassination" section on the Abraham Lincoln page, I suggest that the words “According to eyewitnesses, his face was fixed in a smile when he expired” should be changed to “According to some accounts, at his last drawn breath, on the morning after the assassination, he smiled broadly and then expired”. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.146.96.169 ( talk) 22:07, 14 January 2019 (UTC)
Hey Adam. I am trying to improve my photographic skills and was hoping you could give me advice. For something like c:File:BSPP_Male_Straight_Thread.png, what could I improve to make it FP eligible? I may have to setup my lightbox to shoot it in. The subjects are pretty small, so I could use a macro lens to take the shots with better clarity and focus (my other photos have issues there). What do you suggest? Kees08 (Talk) 00:44, 21 January 2019 (UTC)

Adam, can you please, PLEASE take that poster, which is lovely, out of the Meyerbeer template on the article Dinorah and put it somewhere else in the article and restore Meyerbeer's picture in the template? I tried to do it myself but I cannot figure it out. It is very important to me,call it a weird quirk, that the composers on the articles I work on the most - Meyerbeer, Handel,Offenbach - have their pictures at the top of the page and the same picture every time, it unifies their articles.

I've only done a couple restorations in the past, and find I second guess myself about what can/should be repaired/adjusted. Would you mind taking a quick look at one I uploaded to give your opinion?

And so ends the first round of the competition. Everyone with a positive score moves on to Round 2. With 56 contestants qualifying, each group in Round 2 contains seven contestants, with the two leaders from each group due to qualify for Round 3 as well as the top sixteen remaining contestants.
Our top scorers in Round 1 were:
These contestants, like all the others, now have to start scoring points again from scratch. Between them, contestants completed reviews on 143 good articles, one hundred more than the number of good articles they claimed for, thus making a substantial dent in the review backlog. Well done all!
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 at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews.

Hi Adam, would you be willing to restore a photo of Marie Curie? It looks like one of these has already had some restoration work, but it's lost detail in the process, while another is probably a zoom of the same photo.

The second round of the 2019 WikiCup has now finished. Contestants needed to scored 32 points to advance into round 3. Our top four scorers in round 2 all scored over 400 points and were:
Other notable performances were put in by Barkeep49 with six GAs, Ceranthor, Lee Vilenski, and Canada Hky, each with seven GARs, and MPJ-DK with a seven item GT.
So far contestants have achieved nine featured articles between them and a splendid 80 good articles. Commendably, 227 GARs have been completed during the course of the 2019 WikiCup, so the backlog of articles awaiting GA review has been reduced as a result of contestants' activities. The judges are pleased with the thorough GARs that are being performed, and have hardly had to reject any. As we enter the third round, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 2 but before the start of round 3 can be claimed in round 3. Remember too that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them.
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).

Thanks for scheduling your restoration of the Coldstream Guards for Saturday's POTD. I feel, however, that Facial hair in the British military might not be the best choice for the target article. Wikipedia:Featured pictures/People/Military captions the image with Coldstream Guards, which I think is a more apt caption for the image; POTD appearances also tend to follow the featured picture directory in this regard. To this end, I've decided to replace the target article with Coldstream Guards, including rewriting the blurb with text adapted from there, as well as providing information pertaining to the provenance, etc. of the picture itself. See also User talk:Amakuru#POTD for 8 June. If you have any concerns with my blurb, feel free to discuss them on my talk page.

I recall you asking somewhere for suggestions for photos to touch up. Perhaps File:RIAN archive 612748 Valentina Tereshkova.jpg would be a good candidate. I think it might not be salvageable, but it would be good for documenting the history of spaceflight if it was.

Hi Adam Cuerden, I have gone ahead and HistMerged File:SMS Arcona.png into File:SMS Arcona NH 65764 - Restoration.png (before deleting the former). As a general/friendly note for the future, if you happen to upload a file under the wrong name, please request a file move (see Template:Rename media) rather than re-upload and nominating for deletion. Thanks! -- TheSandDoctor Talk 04:58, 2 July 2019 (UTC)

The third round of the 2019 WikiCup has now come to an end. The 16 users who made it to the fourth round needed to score at least 68 points, which is substantially lower than last year's 227 points. Our top scorers in round 3 were:
Contestants managed 4 (5) featured articles, 4 featured lists, 18 featured pictures, 29 good articles, 50 DYK entries, 9 ITN entries, and 39 good article reviews. 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, and it is imperative to claim them in the correct round; one FA claim had to be rejected because it was incorrectly submitted (claimed in Round 3 when it qualified for Round 2), so be warned! When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met.
If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anything 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!

On 4 August 2019, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Jeanne Laisné (soprano), which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Jeanne Laisné appeared as Aurore in the 1894 world premiere of Massenet's Le portrait de Manon, a sequel to his Manon? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Jeanne Laisné (soprano). You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, Jeanne Laisné (soprano)), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. 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.

Hi! I ran across this archive when looking for something else and it seems that most, if not all, of the pics are CC-BY-2.0 and thus uploadable to Commons. (I particularly like this photo for some reason.) I haven't gotten around to uploading them since I'm swamped right now and for some, couldn't figure out what categories to stick them under. You're probably swamped too, but I figured it's better to let you know about the archive anyways. All the best! - Yupik ( talk) 19:57, 7 August 2019 (UTC)
Hi Adam, thanks as always for the FP section. I'm not sure about Sally Ride though as I don't think she was ever in the military, unlike the other astronaut subjects of the images (well not Ron McNair either but two other guys in his picture were).

Adam, I wonder if I could pester you for some advice; while hunting around for images on the English Civil War, I came across these two images on Commons: File:Charles Landseer - The Eve of the Battle of Edge Hill, 1642 - Google Art Project.jpg and File:William Frederick Yeames - And when did you last see your father? - Google Art Project.jpg. The latter has quite a few black spots that need tidying, but beyond that I wondered what work you thought might be needed on either of them to gain Featured status? Harrias talk 14:42, 29 August 2019 (UTC)
The fourth round of the competition has finished in a flurry of last minute activity, with 454 points being required to qualify for the final round. It was a hotly competitive round with two contestants with over 400 points being eliminated, and all but two of the finalists having achieved an FA during the round. Casliber, our 2016 winner, was the highest point-scorer, followed by Enwebb and Lee Vilenski, who are both new to the competition. In fourth place was SounderBruce, a finalist last year. But all those points are swept away as we start afresh for the final round.
Round 4 saw the achievement of 11 featured articles. In addition, Adam Cuerden scored with 18 FPs, Lee Vilenski led the GA score with 8 GAs while Kosack performed 15 GA reviews. There were around 40 DYKs, 40 GARs and 31 GAs overall during round 4. Even though contestants performed more GARs than they achieved GAs, there was still some frustration at the length of time taken to get articles reviewed.
As we start round 5, we say goodbye to the eight competitors who didn't quite make it; thank you for the useful contributions you have made to the Cup and Wikipedia, and we hope you will join us again next year. 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 14 days of "earning" them (some people have fallen foul of this rule and the points have been removed).
If you are concerned that your nomination, whether it be for a good article, a featured process, or anything else, will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to help keep down the review backlogs!

Inside this newsletter, the Editing team talks about their work on the mobile visual editor, on the new talk pages project, and at Wikimania 2019.
What talk page interactions do you remember? Is it a story about how someone helped you to learn something new? Is it a story about how someone helped you get involved in a group? Something else? Whatever your story is, we want to hear it!
Please tell us a story about how you used a talk page. Please share a link to a memorable discussion, or describe it on the talk page for this project. The team would value your examples. These examples will help everyone develop a shared understanding of what this project should support and encourage.
The Talk Pages Consultation was a global consultation to define better tools for wiki communication. From February through June 2019, more than 500 volunteers on 20 wikis, across 15 languages and multiple projects, came together with members of the Foundation to create a product direction for a set of discussion tools. The Phase 2 Report of the Talk Page Consultation was published in August. It summarizes the product direction the team has started to work on, which you can read more about here: Talk Page Project project page.
The team needs and wants your help at this early stage. They are starting to develop the first idea. Please add your name to the "Getting involved" section of the project page, if you would like to hear about opportunities to participate.
The Editing team is trying to make it simpler to edit on mobile devices. The team is changing the visual editor on mobile. If you have something to say about editing on a mobile device, please leave a message at Talk:VisualEditor on mobile.
The Editing Team attended Wikimania 2019 in Sweden. They led a session on the mobile visual editor and a session on the new talk pages project. They tested two new features in the mobile visual editor with contributors. You can read more about what the team did and learned in the team's report on Wikimania 2019.

RE: WiR Gorgeous images. An off topic question. Since WMF forbids the useage of images off the internet. Where does one get images like this. I see so many great images and obviously most of them were not taken by the uploader and getting an OTRS permission from the person who took the image is like looking for Hens' Teeth. For my benefit and future use how does one get images that meet WMF standards . Eileen Collins might be a NASA photo and in that case itis copyright free but the rest. Aplogies for being off topic.

Hi! I just wanted to say (I know it hasn't been finalised) well done for winning the WikiCup! 91 WP:FPOs is a ridiculous amount for the length of the tournament.

The WikiCup is over for another year! Our Champion this year is Adam Cuerden ( submissions), who over the course of the competition has amassed 91 featured pictures, including 32 in the final round. Our finalists this year were:
All those who reached the final will win awards. 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. Awards will be handed out in the coming weeks. Please be patient!
Congratulations to everyone who participated in this year's WikiCup, whether you made it to the final rounds or not, and particular congratulations to the newcomers to the WikiCup who have achieved much this year. Thanks to all who have taken part and helped out with the competition, not forgetting User:Jarry1250, who runs the scoring bot.
We have opened a scoring discussion on whether the rules and scoring need adjustment. Please have your say. 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 2020 competition. Until then, it only remains to once again congratulate our worthy winners, and thank all participants for their involvement!

And so ends the first round of the competition. Everyone with a positive score moves on to Round 2, with 57 contestants qualifying. We have abolished the groups this year, so to qualify for Round 3 you will need to finish Round 2 among the top thirty-two contestants.
Our top scorers in Round 1 were:
These contestants, like all the others, now have to start scoring points again from scratch. In Round 1 there were four featured articles, one featured list and two featured pictures, as well as around two hundred DYKs and twenty-seven ITNs. Between them, contestants completed 127 good article reviews, nearly a hundred more than the 43 good articles they claimed for, thus making a substantial dent in the review backlog. Contestants also claimed for 40 featured article / featured list reviews, and most even remembered to mention their WikiCup participation in their reviews (a requirement).
Remember that any content promoted after the end of Round 1 but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Some contestants made claims before the new submissions pages were set up, and they will need to resubmit them. 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 at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere 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! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

Hi, I hope you are keeping well! On May 1st, your image of Marie-Aimée Roger-Miclos is to be POTD. However I think there is something wrong about the photograph, because it was apparently taken on 11 October 1902 by Jean Reutlinger, whose dates are (1891 - 1914) according to the article on his father. He apparently joined his father in the family photography business in 1910 and was killed in the First World War. He was unlikely to have taken this photograph in 1902 when he was just 11, so it seems likely that either the photographer or the date of the image is wrong. Do you have any ideas about this?

The second round of the 2020 WikiCup has now finished. It was a high-scoring round and contestants needed 75 points to advance to round 3. There were some very impressive efforts in round 2, with the top ten contestants all scoring more than 500 points. A large number of the points came from the 12 featured articles and the 186 good articles achieved in total by contestants, and the 355 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.
Our top scorers in round 2 were:
The rules for featured article reviews have been adjusted; reviews may cover three aspects of the article, content, images and sources, and contestants may receive points for each of these three types of review. Please also remember the requirement to mention the WikiCup when undertaking an FAR for which you intend to claim points. Remember also that DYKs cannot be claimed until they have appeared on the main page. As we enter the third round, any content promoted after the end of round 2 but before the start of round 3 can be claimed now, and anything you forgot to claim in round 2 cannot! Remember too, 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.
If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anything 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 was updating Swan River Press and asked the owner to upload a selection of his photos. They have been flagged as derivative. He has the rights to the photos and to the covers they are photos of. He owns the company that created them and arranged all the covers. I however suck at photos and rights and the like and I was hoping you could assist me in resolving the tag. ☕ Antiqueight chatter 16:29, 9 June 2020 (UTC)
I know I already asked you to do the photo on Sándor Vay that I like, but could you take a look at the photo of Margaret Cuthbert and see if anything can improve it? There's the newspaper version and the ebay version, but neither of them are flawless and I have no clue how/if anything can be done. Thanks! If you are too busy, no worries, these are related to this month's pride articles, so it's hot on my radar, but not pressing. SusunW ( talk) 18:57, 12 June 2020 (UTC)

Hi, Adam. We haven't conversed, but I regularly watch the Featured Picture noms and have seen your restorations. Recently, I've practiced using GIMP for photo manipulation (I don't have Photoshop). Would you be willing to pass along some of your techniques, tips, tricks for photo restoration? I'm familiar with GIMP's Clone and Healing brushes and its various other tools for color, luminance, transformation, etc. Your restorations seem so flawless, that I'm curious if you use some additional special techniques to get such results. Or, if it's purely a matter of painstaking clone and re-clone and re-clone (and heal) until the change is absolutely invisible. The current Offenbach photo had a great number of imperfections, many quite small, that I shudder to think of the time involved in patching all of them--do you use a method that "automates" some cleanup? The poster restorations at the top of your Talk page are also remarkable for the cleanup of the creases and book pages--do you use a technique that "fills in" missing image fragments? Thanks for any advice you might have time to offer. DonFB ( talk) 07:28, 20 June 2020 (UTC)

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.

Hey Adam, I just wrote a Women in Red biography for the above woman, and it has a picture I snagged from an out-of-copyright 1924 newspaper but you know how newspaper photos are from that era. I found a 1931 book which the copyright was never renewed, that is chock full of large nice photos of Georgia women. HOWEVER the photo has this bizarre purple and green pattern across it, clearly some sort of scanning artifact. I tried fiddling around with GIMP's plugins and all I accomplished was turning photos into watercolor paintings. Can you take a look at these? If you need me to do some grunt work first like download and crop and put on commons, let me know the best way to do it that saves you time.
I skimmed through the whole book, and the women we have articles for are:
Smith and Seydell already have not-great photos (Seydell is fair use), Napier has nothing right now.
A few others that seem notable if its efficient for you to run the same filter on, or nevermind we can revisit later:
Again let me know if there's anything I can do to make this less work for you, or if you can point me at some GIMP instructions on fixing stuff like this that works too. -- Krelnik ( talk) 13:45, 9 July 2020 (UTC)

Hi Adam- hope you're well. Thanks for voting for a Featured Image from my GLAM partnership. I thought you'd be a good person to ask about how to get this image to a POTD slot. I've seen the documentation but I'm wary, partly because this is my first Featured Picture on WP and partly because of COI issues since I'm paid to work on this partnership. The "first in, first out" principle sounds simple but the implementation looks really complex. For example, 1 November is free and is Classics Day, so could be relevant for a 1900s tribute to classic Imperial Japanese art. If I were to put in a blurb for the image in for November 1, would that be welcomed? Thanks in advance for any help, MartinPoulter ( talk) 14:32, 27 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.

Hello Adam, I'm dropping you a message as despite my best attempts to get my head around the rules for non free use of pictures I'm not clear what/how I proceed. I found you by looking at featured sports pictures - and thought you might be able to help with Roy Francis (rugby) - there is (for example) a picture here and this slightly amusing youtube video even has a small bit of footage of him as a player celebrating on the pitch, but I can't find any images of him in spots that clearly say what their copyright status is. It's all a bit confusing to me - and even if I were to copy paste the image I see onto my machine- I don't understand the process of getting it into the article without uploading it to the commons (at which point I seem to be breaking the copyright?? - and I obviously want to avoid that). If you have time - and feel like showing me how to do it that would be interesting, or if you are able to just give that article a suitable image that would also be grand. Sorry for the imposition. I'll watch this page for a while for replies - thanks in advance EdwardLane ( talk) 10:22, 14 September 2020 (UTC)

If this is you, you might want to fix it so it doesn't look like an anonymous IP editor. — David Eppstein ( talk) 07:39, 20 October 2020 (UTC)
Happened to notice the FP notice up the page - would you believe I have actually seen this? We had a little local company, Opera Theater of Northern Virginia, that used to do interesting work - they trotted out both this and Le villi at various points. Both in English, as I recall. They even invited Simonetta Puccini as honored guest for both. Even to my poorly-trained teenage ears I could tell it is an...odd...work, to say the least. Music's not bad, perhaps, but there are some real peculiarities of structure.
Alas. Now I'm pining for the Fra Diavolo they did. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa? Lo dicono a Signa. 15:57, 21 October 2020 (UTC)
"The focus should be on the original work" - absolutely, and that was my chief objection to the insertions in Cendrillon; I couldn't figure out why (I mean, the piece is slight, but it's long enough for a church-basement afternoon), except to add some ballet that didn't need to be there in the first place. Same with the framing device - there was no need. Especially since it petered out by the end anyway.
I'm a little more forgiving of translation, especially with smaller groups...I do recognize its necessity sometimes, and I'd rather see a piece in translation than not at all. Same with dialogue (especially in a piece like something of Gilbert's, which was meant to be topical). But often the trouble is that it's not well done, as you say.
I think ultimately, my question would be: "what is the point"? If you can explain to me that, say, your re-imagining is meant to be a new work, which honors the original but uses it as a jumping-off point for something new and imaginative, then fine. Not my thing, not to my taste, but there are times when that can be very useful. (There's a company here in DC that does stuff like that - a performance evening based around excerpts of the Verdi Requiem, for instance. They don't pretend it's anywhere close to the original, but offer it as an alternative take.) If it's just, "eh, we wanted to do this but made these changes because reasons", that's a different matter. It usually comes off as slapdash, in my experience.
And part of it has been about letting go of my preconceived notions, as well. Which is probably the most difficult part of all. --

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!

Thanks again for your efforts! ― Buster7 ☎ 16:12, 14 November 2020 (UTC)
Although your series on notable women of the past has been an excellent contribution, I had a very different idea apropos today's OTD blurb on Quantas Airlines. How about resto-pix of old, perhaps unusual, airplanes? There are scads of them. See the Short Empire article for a few examples. If I recall right, you previously did many old warship photos, so maybe this topic won't seem totally alien. Maybe you could do photos of historical aviators, too. Just a thought. – Sca ( talk) 17:17, 16 November 2020 (UTC)
Hi Adam; I hope you're well. I wonder what you think of the above image? Personally, I'd love to see a load of Warren's images going through FPC, as I think we're deeply lucky to have them... Josh Milburn ( talk) 19:16, 23 November 2020 (UTC)
On 24 November 2020, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Maddalena Mariani Masi, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Maddalena Mariani Masi performed the title role of Ponchielli's La Gioconda in the 1876 world premiere at La Scala? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Maddalena Mariani Masi. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, Maddalena Mariani Masi), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. 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.

Hi Adam, I hope this note finds you well. Thinking about your remarkable work on high quality images, especially those for operas, and I would if you'll add something for L'ange de Nisida to you list. Laser brain, who should feel free to comment here as well, got the article to FA status a while ago but the souvenir libretto and two images of Donizetti (which I expect will become a single image once the composer sidebar deletion discussion is over) are rather disappointing. I suspect that composer's image could be moved to the composition history to make room for a better lead image, and if you have time, perhaps a second one to replace the image in the synopsis, which I don't think adds much at the moment (does that sound reasonable Laser?). Do let me know, best - Aza24 ( talk) 18:52, 26 November 2020 (UTC)

Hi Adam, I found this high-quality image while foraging in the Commons undergrowth. After removing the watermark I added it to Ant#Learning and Tandem running. Worth nominating as a Featured Picture, perhaps? I'll leave the details to you. Regards, nagual design 03:35, 3 December 2020 (UTC)

Greetings,
I did just write fumarole mineral, which has a few high quality images. Seeing as you are one of the Wikipedia:Featured pictures regular, I wanted to know if File:Color SEM 4.jpg and File:Tazieffite - Mutnovsky volcano, Kamchatka, Russia (Color SEM).jpg might be worth nominating ( File:Color SEM 2.jpg is a FP on Commons but doesn't meet the English Wikipedia FP size criteria I reckon).

A quote from Gargantua and Pantagruel by Rabelais; it is taken from the manuscript of Jules Massenet's opera Panurge, in the composer's own hand. It is my greeting of choice for the new year, because it encourages us to live joyfully, and try not to take life too seriously...while quaffing whatever beverage we choose, naturally. This has been a challenging year, to say the least; I hope that 2021 may bring a fresh start, and better days ahead. May the new year bring you joy and peace...and many days of fruitful editing. |

Hello Adam -- I see your restoration work at Women in Red all the time, and I wondered if I could make an image improvement request. I recently brought up Frances Gertrude McGill to FA status and found a decent 1942 photo of her at work in her laboratory, [11] but it's from a newspaper scan and has lots of small white lines running across it. Is this the type of issue that you could assist with? If not (or if you don't have time), I totally understand -- just thought I'd ask. Best, Alanna the Brave ( talk) 15:41, 3 January 2021 (UTC)

Hi Adam, Yesterday, I created the article on Edith May (poet). Warning: some awful events in that biography. I included the photo that was already used in her Wikidata item; there are other options in her WikiCommons category. Then, I also found this image. As you're the expert on the topic of images, I wonder what your opinion is on the PAFA image; and, regarding copyright, would it be okay to upload the PAFA image; and if so, using which license option? Oh, and Happy/Better New Year! Thanks. -- Rosiestep ( talk) 14:32, 17 January 2021 (UTC)

Hey, hope you're fine with someone asking about the FPC! I've been thinking of nominating File:Boeing 737 view 1.jpg for an FP; it looks neat to me, and it is featured on the Altitude article, where it nicely depicts the relation between aviation and altitude in its respective section. However the article has a more-citation-needed tag; I'm not sure if that immediately disqualifies for an FP. Does it? Any help appreciated! Gerald WL 16:58, 5 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!

Some unsolicited advice—no obligation to respond and you can remove it if you don't want it. We have to be our own biggest cheerleaders on Wikipedia because no-one else will. If you do 10 things perfectly and 1 thing badly then you'll only hear about the latter: it's not wrong for people to pick you up on mistakes, but it is unfair that no-one takes the time to tell you they appreciate the perfections. Now, the same thing can apply to one action seen through different perspectives. If 10 people agree with your edit and 1 person disagrees then what you see in your notifications is 1 revert. (Possibly a "thanks" as well, but when you have to spend 50 times longer dealing with the revert, it'd take 50 "thanks" to make up for it.) And Wikipedia not caring about anyone's credentials is sort of necessary for anonymity and to stop Essjays. So you can do something that's perfection and it just takes 1 of 11 people, with no prerequisite level of specialist knowledge, to cause conflict.
Sometimes you get blindsided by a wrong'un whose argument is just factually wrong, and yet somehow everyone who turns up also has none of the expert knowledge and piles onto the wrong side. I've had this happen to me in the past several times, sometimes even having to take the loss and move onto something else. I hope you can do whatever helps you relax and stay grounded—a walk in the countryside, a long hot shower, an intense workout—and Wikipedia will still be here whenever it's right for you to return, whether it's tomorrow morning or eight months. And whatever happens, nothing can ever undo the good you've done for the uncountably many readers who've (unknowingly) enjoyed your restorations over the past decade. I know most people on the planet are suffering external strains, stresses and pressures in the world of corona so be kind to yourself. — Bilorv ( talk) 01:15, 28 March 2021 (UTC)

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.
Our top scorers in Round 2 were:
Please remember that DYKs cannot be claimed until they have appeared on the main page. As we enter the third round, any content promoted after the end of Round 2 but before the start of Round 3 can be claimed now, and anything you forgot to claim in Round 2 cannot! Remember too, that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them (except for at the end of each round, when you must claim them before the cut-off date/time). When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met.
If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anything else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required).

Earlier this year, the Editing team ran a large study of the Reply Tool. The main goal was to find out whether the Reply Tool helped newer editors communicate on wiki. The second goal was to see whether the comments that newer editors made using the tool needed to be reverted more frequently than comments newer editors made with the existing wikitext page editor.
The key results were:
These results give the Editing team confidence that the tool is helpful.
Looking ahead
The team is planning to make the Reply tool available to everyone as an opt-out preference in the coming months. This has already happened at the Arabic, Czech, and Hungarian Wikipedias.
The next step is to resolve a technical challenge. Then, they will deploy the Reply tool first to the Wikipedias that participated in the study. After that, they will deploy it, in stages, to the other Wikipedias and all WMF-hosted wikis.
You can turn on "Discussion Tools" in Beta Features now. After you get the Reply tool, you can change your preferences at any time in Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing-discussion.

Hey Adam! I recently bought a second-hand book called Mansions on Rails which includes many photographs of railway cars and important figures in the railroad business of early 20th century US. I sadly don't have access to any book scanner that would allow me to digitize the books without distorting them by laying the book flat upside down, and so I've taken to using my phone and then cropping the images before starting restoration. I was wondering if you had any method of cropping the images aside from using something like a pdf scanner-app. I tried using Adobe Illustrator and creating a path on a clipping mask but I couldn't figure out how to then distort the result so that it wasn't angled. Sadly I don't have access to Photoshop right now. For now, I've limited myself to easy to crop pictures such as the image below (I still have to restore it, but thought it would be useful to upload it before any changes so that it can already be used on mainspace).

The fourth round of the competition has finished with over 500 points being required to qualify for the final round. It was a hotly competitive round with two contestants, The Rambling Man and Epicgenius, each scoring over 3000 points, and six contestants scoring over 1000. All but one of the finalists achieved one or more FAs during the round, the exception being Bloom6132 who demonstrated that 61 "in the news" items produces an impressive number of points. Other contestants who made it to the final are Gog the Mild, Lee Vilenski, BennyOnTheLoose, Amakuru and Hog Farm. However, all their points are now swept away and everyone starts afresh in the final round.
Round 4 saw the achievement of 18 featured articles and 157 good articles. Bilorv scored for a 25-article good topic on Black Mirror but narrowly missed out on qualifying for the final round. There was enthusiasm for FARs, with 89 being performed, and there were 63 GARs and around 100 DYKs during the round. As we start round 5, we say goodbye to the eight competitors who didn't quite make it to the final round; thank you for the useful contributions you have made to the Cup and Wikipedia, and we hope you will join us again next year. For other contestants, 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 14 days of "earning" them.
If you are concerned that your nomination, whether it be for a good article, a featured process, or anything else, will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required).

The WikiCup is over for another year and the finalists can relax! Our Champion this year is The Rambling Man ( submissions), who amassed over 5000 points in the final round, achieving 8 featured articles and almost 500 reviews. It was a very competitive round; seven of the finalists achieved over 1000 points in the round (enough to win the 2019 contest), and three scored over 3000 (enough to win the 2020 event). Our 2021 finalists and their scores were:
All those who reached the final round will win awards. The following special awards will be made based on high performance in particular areas of content creation and review. Awards will be handed out in the next few days.
Congratulations to everyone who participated in this year's WikiCup, whether they made it to the final round or not, and particular congratulations to the newcomers to the WikiCup, some of whom did very well. Wikipedia has benefitted greatly from the quality creations, expansions and improvements made, and the numerous reviews performed. Thanks to all who have taken part and helped out with the competition, not forgetting User:Jarry1250, who runs the scoring bot.
If you have views on whether the rules or scoring need adjustment for next year's contest, please comment on the WikiCup talk page. 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 2022 competition. Until then, it only remains to once again congratulate our worthy winners, and thank all participants for their involvement!

Hi Adam, thanks for adding 1918 United Kingdom general election to WP:Selected anniversaries/December 14. Unfortunately, that article is not in very good shape, so I was unable to use it.

Adam, I'm no technical expert with regard to restorations. Simply as a viewer, I'd like a little more contrast or sharpness, but maybe the image doesn't lend itself to that sort of manipulation. You're the restoration artist.
In any case, Merry Christmas & Happy New Year.

Hi Adam. I see you replaced this with a redirect to 1919 in women's history but as far as I can see you did not incorporate any of the information in the article. I now find I can no longer access it. Have you any idea how I can retrieve it? It contains quite a lot of useful info I would have liked to include in our 2019 focus on Suffrage?-- Ipigott ( talk) 12:38, 24 December 2018 (UTC)
Adam, I wonder if I can prevail on you to work some magic, please? There's an illustration over 2 pages of The Builder, 1891, pages 890 & 891, of the side-elevation of Battersea Town Hall (aka New Parochial Offices, Battersea), in a huge PDF of The Builder, vol.61, 1891. I'm wondering if you'd be willing to use your mad skillz to snag the two images and join them together. And if you're completely in the spirit of things, there's a front-elevation of the same building on page 886 which has a distinct page-fold wrinkle bottom centre. Feel free to tun down the request - I know you're full of busy with suffragettes & such, but shy bairns get nothing, as they say. For copyright purposes, the architect died in 1908, so they're all PD. Thanks & season's greetings to you. Hope the leak didn't cause too much bother. -- Tagishsimon ( talk) 16:52, 24 December 2018 (UTC)
Methinks I see an heavenly Host Of angels on the wing; Methinks I hear their cheerful notes, So merrily they sing. Let all your fears be banished hence, Glad tidings I proclaim; For there's a Savior born today And Jesus is his name. Lay down your crooks and quit your flocks, To Bethlehem repair; And let your wandering steps be squared By yonder shining star. Seek not in courts or palaces; Nor royal curtains draw; But search the stable, See your God extended on the straw. Then learn from hence, ye rural swains, The meekness of your God, Who left the boundless realms of joy, To ransom you with blood. The master of the inn refused A more commodious place; Ungenerous soul of savage mold And destitute of grace. - from William Billings, "Shiloh" |

Hello and Happy New Year!
Welcome to the 2019 WikiCup, the competition begins today. If you have already joined, your submission page can be found here. If you have not yet signed up, you can add your name here and we will set up your submissions page. One important rule to remember is that only content on which you have completed significant work during 2019, and which you have nominated this year, is eligible for points in the competition, the judges will be checking! Any questions should be directed to one of the judges, or left on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup. 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 make it 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 · contribs · email).

That's an impressive number, Adam. Would you consider sharing the code? Best wishes, -- Charlesjsharp ( talk) 10:48, 9 January 2019 (UTC)
@
Charlesjsharp: Sure. I should note that I'm piggybacking off some code from my User page, but the basic idea is simple enough. It needs to transclude a page, as the code's too long otherwise; in my case,
User:Adam Cuerden/FPperc which has the following code:
{{#expr:{{User:Adam Cuerden/Current FP total}}/{{PAGESINCATEGORY:Featured pictures|files|R}}*100 round 1}}%
This is a fairly simple percentage calculation. {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Featured pictures|files|R}} is what it sounds like: the number of featured pictures, or as good of an estimate as we have. {{User:Adam Cuerden/Current FP total}} is the number of FPs I have.
Now, here you're probably going to want to do it slightly differently than I do. The code in Current FP total is {{#expr:387.75+{{User:Adam Cuerden}}}}
387.75 is the number of FPs in all years previous to this one - I used fractions for some collaborations - and {{User:Adam Cuerden}} ...Has a series of <noinclude> tags that mean the only thing actually returned is the number in the phrase "These 0 restorations from the first 1 months of 2019..."
You can probably simplify this. Adam Cuerden ( talk)Has about 8.9% of all FPs 18:36, 13 January 2019 (UTC)

In the "assassination" section on the Abraham Lincoln page, I suggest that the words “According to eyewitnesses, his face was fixed in a smile when he expired” should be changed to “According to some accounts, at his last drawn breath, on the morning after the assassination, he smiled broadly and then expired”. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.146.96.169 ( talk) 22:07, 14 January 2019 (UTC)
Hey Adam. I am trying to improve my photographic skills and was hoping you could give me advice. For something like c:File:BSPP_Male_Straight_Thread.png, what could I improve to make it FP eligible? I may have to setup my lightbox to shoot it in. The subjects are pretty small, so I could use a macro lens to take the shots with better clarity and focus (my other photos have issues there). What do you suggest? Kees08 (Talk) 00:44, 21 January 2019 (UTC)

Adam, can you please, PLEASE take that poster, which is lovely, out of the Meyerbeer template on the article Dinorah and put it somewhere else in the article and restore Meyerbeer's picture in the template? I tried to do it myself but I cannot figure it out. It is very important to me,call it a weird quirk, that the composers on the articles I work on the most - Meyerbeer, Handel,Offenbach - have their pictures at the top of the page and the same picture every time, it unifies their articles.

Hey there,
I've only done a couple restorations in the past, and find I second guess myself about what can/should be repaired/adjusted. Would you mind taking a quick look at one I uploaded to give your opinion?
Original: File:Hellen Keller circa 1920.jpg
New: File:Helen Keller circa 1920 - restored.jpg
Note that the latter has two versions in its upload history. I saved the one with tone adjustments separately, since I wasn't sure how I felt about it.

And so ends the first round of the competition. Everyone with a positive score moves on to Round 2. With 56 contestants qualifying, each group in Round 2 contains seven contestants, with the two leaders from each group due to qualify for Round 3 as well as the top sixteen remaining contestants.
Our top scorers in Round 1 were:
These contestants, like all the others, now have to start scoring points again from scratch. Between them, contestants completed reviews on 143 good articles, one hundred more than the number of good articles they claimed for, thus making a substantial dent in the review backlog. Well done all!
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.

Hi Adam, would you be willing to restore a photo of Marie Curie? It looks like one of these has already had some restoration work, but it's lost detail in the process, while another is probably a zoom of the same photo. I think that one of your restoration jobs would be great, probably on the photo that I'm putting on the left of this gallery. -- Pine ✉ 03:58, 3 March 2019 (UTC)

If you're need something to work on, I'd appreciate if you could consider File:Csepel NH87669.jpg. Be careful with speck removal as the radio antennas between each mast have insulator balls at each end, although they're only really visible on the closest ship. If you'd prefer not to, that's fine too.-- Sturmvogel 66 ( talk) 16:00, 31 March 2019 (UTC)

The second round of the 2019 WikiCup has now finished. Contestants needed to scored 32 points to advance into round 3. Our top four scorers in round 2 all scored over 400 points and were:
Other notable performances were put in by Barkeep49 with six GAs, Ceranthor, Lee Vilenski, and Canada Hky, each with seven GARs, and MPJ-DK with a seven item GT.
So far contestants have achieved nine featured articles between them and a splendid 80 good articles. Commendably, 227 GARs have been completed during the course of the 2019 WikiCup, so the backlog of articles awaiting GA review has been reduced as a result of contestants' activities. The judges are pleased with the thorough GARs that are being performed, and have hardly had to reject any. As we enter the third round, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 2 but before the start of round 3 can be claimed in round 3. Remember too that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them.
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!

When the article was approved for GA, I nominated it for DYK, but in discussing it, some editors don't want to hold it until the 18 September centennial for women's suffrage in the Netherlands. At any rate, per the discussion, when the FP passes, they will reserve the date and I'll just cancel the DYK. Again, I thank you for all of your help on these photos. Your work is so amazing!

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Jeanne Laisné (soprano), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Le Matin ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Thanks for scheduling your restoration of the Coldstream Guards for Saturday's POTD. I feel, however, that Facial hair in the British military might not be the best choice for the target article. Wikipedia:Featured pictures/People/Military captions the image with Coldstream Guards, which I think is a more apt caption for the image; POTD appearances also tend to follow the featured picture directory in this regard. To this end, I've decided to replace the target article with Coldstream Guards, including rewriting the blurb with text adapted from there, as well as providing information pertaining to the provenance, etc. of the picture itself. See also User talk:Amakuru#POTD for 8 June. If you have any concerns with my blurb, feel free to discuss them on my talk page.

I recall you asking somewhere for suggestions for photos to touch up. Perhaps File:RIAN archive 612748 Valentina Tereshkova.jpg would be a good candidate. I think it might not be salvageable, but it would be good for documenting the history of spaceflight if it was. Otherwise, perhaps File:RIAN archive 159271 Nikita Khrushchev, Valentina Tereshkova, Pavel Popovich and Yury Gagarin at Lenin Mausoleum.jpg. There are many images of her on Commons, you may be able to find a more encyclopedic version than I have found. If you have no time for it, no worries. Kees08 (Talk) 07:40, 16 June 2019 (UTC)

The third round of the 2019 WikiCup has now come to an end. The 16 users who made it to the fourth round needed to score at least 68 points, which is substantially lower than last year's 227 points. Our top scorers in round 3 were:
Contestants managed 4 (5) featured articles, 4 featured lists, 18 featured pictures, 29 good articles, 50 DYK entries, 9 ITN entries, and 39 good article reviews. 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, and it is imperative to claim them in the correct round; one FA claim had to be rejected because it was incorrectly submitted (claimed in Round 3 when it qualified for Round 2), so be warned! When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met.

Hi! I ran across this archive when looking for something else and it seems that most, if not all, of the pics are CC-BY-2.0 and thus uploadable to Commons. (I particularly like this photo for some reason.) I haven't gotten around to uploading them since I'm swamped right now and for some, couldn't figure out what categories to stick them under. You're probably swamped too, but I figured it's better to let you know about the archive anyways. All the best! - Yupik ( talk) 19:57, 7 August 2019 (UTC)

Adam, I wonder if I could pester you for some advice; while hunting around for images on the English Civil War, I came across these two images on Commons: File:Charles Landseer - The Eve of the Battle of Edge Hill, 1642 - Google Art Project.jpg and File:William Frederick Yeames - And when did you last see your father? - Google Art Project.jpg. The latter has quite a few black spots that need tidying, but beyond that I wondered what work you thought might be needed on either of them to gain Featured status? Harrias talk 14:42, 29 August 2019 (UTC)
The fourth round of the competition has finished in a flurry of last minute activity, with 454 points being required to qualify for the final round. It was a hotly competitive round with two contestants with over 400 points being eliminated, and all but two of the finalists having achieved an FA during the round. Casliber, our 2016 winner, was the highest point-scorer, followed by Enwebb and Lee Vilenski, who are both new to the competition. In fourth place was SounderBruce, a finalist last year. But all those points are swept away as we start afresh for the final round.
Round 4 saw the achievement of 11 featured articles. In addition, Adam Cuerden scored with 18 FPs, Lee Vilenski led the GA score with 8 GAs while Kosack performed 15 GA reviews. There were around 40 DYKs, 40 GARs and 31 GAs overall during round 4. Even though contestants performed more GARs than they achieved GAs, there was still some frustration at the length of time taken to get articles reviewed.
As we start round 5, we say goodbye to the eight competitors who didn't quite make it; thank you for the useful contributions you have made to the Cup and Wikipedia, and we hope you will join us again next year. 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 14 days of "earning" them (some people have fallen foul of this rule and the points have been removed).
If you are concerned that your nomination, whether it be for a good article, a featured process, or anything else, will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to help keep down the review backlogs!

Inside this newsletter, the Editing team talks about their work on the mobile visual editor, on the new talk pages project, and at Wikimania 2019.
What talk page interactions do you remember? Is it a story about how someone helped you to learn something new? Is it a story about how someone helped you get involved in a group? Something else? Whatever your story is, we want to hear it!
Please tell us a story about how you used a talk page. Please share a link to a memorable discussion, or describe it on the talk page for this project. The team would value your examples. These examples will help everyone develop a shared understanding of what this project should support and encourage.
The Talk Pages Consultation was a global consultation to define better tools for wiki communication. From February through June 2019, more than 500 volunteers on 20 wikis, across 15 languages and multiple projects, came together with members of the Foundation to create a product direction for a set of discussion tools. The Phase 2 Report of the Talk Page Consultation was published in August. It summarizes the product direction the team has started to work on, which you can read more about here: Talk Page Project project page.
The team needs and wants your help at this early stage. They are starting to develop the first idea. Please add your name to the "Getting involved" section of the project page, if you would like to hear about opportunities to participate.
The Editing team is trying to make it simpler to edit on mobile devices. The team is changing the visual editor on mobile. If you have something to say about editing on a mobile device, please leave a message at Talk:VisualEditor on mobile.
The Editing Team attended Wikimania 2019 in Sweden. They led a session on the mobile visual editor and a session on the new talk pages project. They tested two new features in the mobile visual editor with contributors. You can read more about what the team did and learned in the team's report on Wikimania 2019.

RE: WiR Gorgeous images. An off topic question. Since WMF forbids the useage of images off the internet. Where does one get images like this. I see so many great images and obviously most of them were not taken by the uploader and getting an OTRS permission from the person who took the image is like looking for Hens' Teeth.

Hi! I just wanted to say (I know it hasn't been finalised) well done for winning the WikiCup! 91 WP:FPOs is a ridiculous amount for the length of the tournament. How on earth did you do 32 in 2 months? Crazy amount of work, well done! Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ( talk • contribs) 09:05, 1 November 2019 (UTC)
I spent two weeks off wiki on honeymoon, so I'm surprised I even made second. Where do you go from here? Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ( talk • contribs) 18:51, 1 November 2019 (UTC)
Just stopping by to say congrats, too, to the Restor-o-Matic-9000 (just presuming this user is a robot that does not need sleep based on the amount of output). :) Kudos, too, to you, Lee Vilenski -- a really impressive body of work from both of you. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 21:01, 1 November 2019 (UTC)
The WikiCup is over for another year! Our Champion this year is Adam Cuerden ( submissions), who over the course of the competition has amassed 91 featured pictures, including 32 in the final round. Our finalists this year were:
All those who reached the final will win awards. 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. Awards will be handed out in the coming weeks. Please be patient!
Congratulations to everyone who participated in this year's WikiCup, whether you made it to the final rounds or not, and particular congratulations to the newcomers to the WikiCup who have achieved much this year. Thanks to all who have taken part and helped out with the competition, not forgetting User:Jarry1250, who runs the scoring bot.
We have opened a scoring discussion on whether the rules and scoring need adjustment. Please have your say. 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 2020 competition. Until then, it only remains to once again congratulate our worthy winners, and thank all participants for their involvement!

Is there some standard filter that repairs jpeg artifacts? I'll admit, I didn't pay much mind to it, because you have to zoom in pretty oppressively far to see them. It looks like there are some people on YouTube that are talking about it like it's a walk in the park, but I'm not sure if I can replicate exactly what they're doing.

And so ends the first round of the competition. Everyone with a positive score moves on to Round 2, with 57 contestants qualifying. We have abolished the groups this year, so to qualify for Round 3 you will need to finish Round 2 among the top thirty-two contestants.
Our top scorers in Round 1 were:
These contestants, like all the others, now have to start scoring points again from scratch. In Round 1 there were four featured articles, one featured list and two featured pictures, as well as around two hundred DYKs and twenty-seven ITNs. Between them, contestants completed 127 good article reviews, nearly a hundred more than the 43 good articles they claimed for, thus making a substantial dent in the review backlog. Contestants also claimed for 40 featured article / featured list reviews, and most even remembered to mention their WikiCup participation in their reviews (a requirement).
Remember that any content promoted after the end of Round 1 but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Some contestants made claims before the new submissions pages were set up, and they will need to resubmit them. 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 at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere 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! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

Hi, I hope you are keeping well! On May 1st, your image of Marie-Aimée Roger-Miclos is to be POTD. However I think there is something wrong about the photograph, because it was apparently taken on 11 October 1902 by Jean Reutlinger, whose dates are (1891 - 1914) according to the article on his father. He apparently joined his father in the family photography business in 1910 and was killed in the First World War. He was unlikely to have taken this photograph in 1902 when he was just 11, so it seems likely that either the photographer or the date of the image is wrong. Do you have any ideas about this?

The second round of the 2020 WikiCup has now finished. It was a high-scoring round and contestants needed 75 points to advance to round 3. There were some very impressive efforts in round 2, with the top ten contestants all scoring more than 500 points. A large number of the points came from the 12 featured articles and the 186 good articles achieved in total by contestants, and the 355 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.
Our top scorers in round 2 were:
The rules for featured article reviews have been adjusted; reviews may cover three aspects of the article, content, images and sources, and contestants may receive points for each of these three types of review. Please also remember the requirement to mention the WikiCup when undertaking an FAR for which you intend to claim points. Remember also that DYKs cannot be claimed until they have appeared on the main page. As we enter the third round, any content promoted after the end of round 2 but before the start of round 3 can be claimed now, and anything you forgot to claim in round 2 cannot! Remember too, 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.
If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anything 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 was updating Swan River Press and asked the owner to upload a selection of his photos. They have been flagged as derivative. He has the rights to the photos and to the covers they are photos of.

I know I already asked you to do the photo on Sándor Vay that I like, but could you take a look at the photo of Margaret Cuthbert and see if anything can improve it? There's the newspaper version and the ebay version, but neither of them are flawless and I have no clue how/if anything can be done. Thanks!

Hi, Adam. We haven't conversed, but I regularly watch the Featured Picture noms and have seen your restorations. Recently, I've practiced using GIMP for photo manipulation (I don't have Photoshop). Would you be willing to pass along some of your techniques, tips, tricks for photo restoration? I'm familiar with GIMP's Clone and Healing brushes and its various other tools for color, luminance, transformation, etc. Your restorations seem so flawless, that I'm curious if you use some additional special techniques to get such results. Or, if it's purely a matter of painstaking clone and re-clone and re-clone (and heal) until the change is absolutely invisible. The current Offenbach photo had a great number of imperfections, many quite small, that I shudder to think of the time involved in patching all of them--do you use a method that "automates" some cleanup? The poster restorations at the top of your Talk page are also remarkable for the cleanup of the creases and book pages--do you use a technique that "fills in" missing image fragments? Thanks for any advice you might have time to offer. DonFB ( talk) 07:28, 20 June 2020 (UTC)

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.

Hey Adam, I just wrote a Women in Red biography for the above woman, and it has a picture I snagged from an out-of-copyright 1924 newspaper but you know how newspaper photos are from that era. I found a 1931 book which the copyright was never renewed, that is chock full of large nice photos of Georgia women. HOWEVER the photo has this bizarre purple and green pattern across it, clearly some sort of scanning artifact. I tried fiddling around with GIMP's plugins and all I accomplished was turning photos into watercolor paintings. Can you take a look at these? If you need me to do some grunt work first like download and crop and put on commons, let me know the best way to do it that saves you time.
I skimmed through the whole book, and the women we have articles for are:
Smith and Seydell already have not-great photos (Seydell is fair use), Napier has nothing right now.
A few others that seem notable if its efficient for you to run the same filter on, or nevermind we can revisit later:
Again let me know if there's anything I can do to make this less work for you, or if you can point me at some GIMP instructions on fixing stuff like this that works too. -- Krelnik ( talk) 13:45, 9 July 2020 (UTC)

Hi Adam- hope you're well. Thanks for voting for a Featured Image from my GLAM partnership. I thought you'd be a good person to ask about how to get this image to a POTD slot. I've seen the documentation but I'm wary, partly because this is my first Featured Picture on WP and partly because of COI issues since I'm paid to work on this partnership. The "first in, first out" principle sounds simple but the implementation looks really complex. For example, 1 November is free and is Classics Day, so could be relevant for a 1900s tribute to classic Imperial Japanese art. If I were to put in a blurb for the image in for November 1, would that be welcomed? Thanks in advance for any help, MartinPoulter ( talk) 14:32, 27 August 2020 (UTC)

For example, some languages omit spaces before signatures. Other communities want to add a dash or a non-breaking space.
Next, the team will be working on a tool for quickly and easily starting a new discussion section to a talk page. To follow the development of this new tool, please put the New Discussion Tool project page on your watchlist.

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.

Hello Adam, I'm dropping you a message as despite my best attempts to get my head around the rules for non free use of pictures I'm not clear what/how I proceed. I found you by looking at featured sports pictures - and thought you might be able to help with Roy Francis (rugby) - there is (for example) a picture here and this slightly amusing youtube video even has a small bit of footage of him as a player celebrating on the pitch, but I can't find any images of him in spots that clearly say what their copyright status is. It's all a bit confusing to me - and even if I were to copy paste the image I see onto my machine- I don't understand the process of getting it into the article without uploading it to the commons (at which point I seem to be breaking the copyright?? - and I obviously want to avoid that). If you have time - and feel like showing me how to do it that would be interesting, or if you are able to just give that article a suitable image that would also be grand. Sorry for the imposition. I'll watch this page for a while for replies - thanks in advance EdwardLane ( talk) 10:22, 14 September 2020 (UTC)

If this is you, you might want to fix it so it doesn't look like an anonymous IP editor. — David Eppstein ( talk) 07:39, 20 October 2020 (UTC)
Happened to notice the FP notice up the page - would you believe I have actually seen this? We had a little local company, Opera Theater of Northern Virginia, that used to do interesting work - they trotted out both this and Le villi at various points. Both in English, as I recall. They even invited Simonetta Puccini as honored guest for both. Even to my poorly-trained teenage ears I could tell it is an...odd...work, to say the least. Music's not bad, perhaps, but there are some real peculiarities of structure.
Alas. Now I'm pining for the Fra Diavolo they did. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa? Lo dicono a Signa. 15:57, 21 October 2020 (UTC)
"The focus should be on the original work" - absolutely, and that was my chief objection to the insertions in Cendrillon; I couldn't figure out why (I mean, the piece is slight, but it's long enough for a church-basement afternoon), except to add some ballet that didn't need to be there in the first place. Same with the framing device - there was no need. Especially since it petered out by the end anyway.
I'm a little more forgiving of translation, especially with smaller groups...I do recognize its necessity sometimes, and I'd rather see a piece in translation than not at all. Same with dialogue (especially in a piece like something of Gilbert's, which was meant to be topical). But often the trouble is that it's not well done, as you say.
I think ultimately, my question would be: "what is the point"? If you can explain to me that, say, your re-imagining is meant to be a new work, which honors the original but uses it as a jumping-off point for something new and imaginative, then fine. Not my thing, not to my taste, but there are times when that can be very useful. (There's a company here in DC that does stuff like that - a performance evening based around excerpts of the Verdi Requiem, for instance. They don't pretend it's anywhere close to the original, but offer it as an alternative take.) If it's just, "eh, we wanted to do this but made these changes because reasons", that's a different matter. It usually comes off as slapdash, in my experience.
And part of it has been about letting go of my preconceived notions, as well. Which is probably the most difficult part of all. --

Hello, I find you through edit history of advertising template. I have a question. I am working on article about the actress at Draft:Yasuko Endō and there is list of content I translate from Japanese article of advertisement campaign she acted and modeled. Actress notability is already established so it is not issue of using advertisement to prove notability and I do not want to advertise products, is it OK to cite list of advertisement to advertisement itself as proof she did the jobs? Thank you kindly Giocabene ( talk) 07:21, 2 November 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!

Although your series on notable women of the past has been an excellent contribution, I had a very different idea apropos today's OTD blurb on Quantas Airlines. How about resto-pix of old, perhaps unusual, airplanes? There are scads of them. See the Short Empire article for a few examples. If I recall right, you previously did many old warship photos, so maybe this topic won't seem totally alien. Maybe you could do photos of historical aviators, too. Just a thought. – Sca ( talk) 17:17, 16 November 2020 (UTC)

Hi Adam, I hope this note finds you well. Thinking about your remarkable work on high quality images, especially those for operas, and I would if you'll add something for L'ange de Nisida to you list. Laser brain, who should feel free to comment here as well, got the article to FA status a while ago but the souvenir libretto and two images of Donizetti (which I expect will become a single image once the composer sidebar deletion discussion is over) are rather disappointing. I suspect that composer's image could be moved to the composition history to make room for a better lead image, and if you have time, perhaps a second one to replace the image in the synopsis, which I don't think adds much at the moment (does that sound reasonable Laser?). Do let me know, best - Aza24 ( talk) 18:52, 26 November 2020 (UTC)

A quote from Gargantua and Pantagruel by Rabelais; it is taken from the manuscript of Jules Massenet's opera Panurge, in the composer's own hand. It is my greeting of choice for the new year, because it encourages us to live joyfully, and try not to take life too seriously...while quaffing whatever beverage we choose, naturally. This has been a challenging year, to say the least; I hope that 2021 may bring a fresh start, and better days ahead. May the new year bring you joy and peace...and many days of fruitful editing. |

Hello Adam -- I see your restoration work at Women in Red all the time, and I wondered if I could make an image improvement request.

Hey, hope you're fine with someone asking about the FPC! I've been thinking of nominating File:Boeing 737 view 1.jpg for an FP; it looks neat to me, and it is featured on the Altitude article, where it nicely depicts the relation between aviation and altitude in its respective section.

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!

... File:Henry Mayer, The Awakening, 1915 Cornell CUL PJM 1176 01 - Restoration.jp had to be yours ;) - thank you! -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 21:30, 8 March 2021 (UTC)
Hi Adam, hope all is well. Wondering about your thoughts on this image. Could it be restored (without an absurd amount of effort), do you think? Or is the original too poor quality? Note: Not asking you to do any restoration that you don't want to, just asking for your opinion. Cheers, Eddie891 Talk Work 03:04, 10 March 2021 (UTC)

Some unsolicited advice—no obligation to respond and you can remove it if you don't want it. We have to be our own biggest cheerleaders on Wikipedia because no-one else will. If you do 10 things perfectly and 1 thing badly then you'll only hear about the latter: it's not wrong for people to pick you up on mistakes, but it is unfair that no-one takes the time to tell you they appreciate the perfections. Now, the same thing can apply to one action seen through different perspectives. If 10 people agree with your edit and 1 person disagrees then what you see in your notifications is 1 revert. (Possibly a "thanks" as well, but when you have to spend 50 times longer dealing with the revert, it'd take 50 "thanks" to make up for it.) And Wikipedia not caring about anyone's credentials is sort of necessary for anonymity and to stop Essjays. So you can do something that's perfection and it just takes 1 of 11 people, with no prerequisite level of specialist knowledge, to cause conflict.
Sometimes you get blindsided by a wrong'un whose argument is just factually wrong, and yet somehow everyone who turns up also has none of the expert knowledge and piles onto the wrong side. I've had this happen to me in the past several times, sometimes even having to take the loss and move onto something else. I hope you can do whatever helps you relax and stay grounded—a walk in the countryside, a long hot shower, an intense workout—and Wikipedia will still be here whenever it's right for you to return, whether it's tomorrow morning or eight months. And whatever happens, nothing can ever undo the good you've done for the uncountably many readers who've (unknowingly) enjoyed your restorations over the past decade. I know most people on the planet are suffering external strains, stresses and pressures in the world of corona so be kind to yourself. — Bilorv ( talk) 01:15, 28 March 2021 (UTC)

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.
Our top scorers in Round 2 were:
Please remember that DYKs cannot be claimed until they have appeared on the main page. As we enter the third round, any content promoted after the end of Round 2 but before the start of Round 3 can be claimed now, and anything you forgot to claim in Round 2 cannot! Remember too, that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them (except for at the end of each round, when you must claim them before the cut-off date/time). When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met.
If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anything 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.

Hi Adam. I know you're a busy person, so only if you have the time, could you please restore this to look more like this but with less obvious photoshopping and less of an overexposed, white-washed look? It's a PD floor plan of Attara Kacheri. The distorted picture is a single scan of the original, and the first floor drawing that I edited into the second one was a separate picture in which the rest of the page was not very clear.

Hi, Adam. Someone recently added an image of a map to the article, but it does not display, or at least it does not display for me when I open the entry. Can you figure out how to make the image display? Also, I cannot find D'Oyly Carte Island on this map, can you? -- Ssilvers ( talk) 14:57, 16 May 2021 (UTC)

Earlier this year, the Editing team ran a large study of the Reply Tool. The main goal was to find out whether the Reply Tool helped newer editors communicate on wiki. The second goal was to see whether the comments that newer editors made using the tool needed to be reverted more frequently than comments newer editors made with the existing wikitext page editor.
The key results were:
These results give the Editing team confidence that the tool is helpful.
Looking ahead
The team is planning to make the Reply tool available to everyone as an opt-out preference in the coming months. This has already happened at the Arabic, Czech, and Hungarian Wikipedias.
The next step is to resolve a technical challenge. Then, they will deploy the Reply tool first to the Wikipedias that participated in the study. After that, they will deploy it, in stages, to the other Wikipedias and all WMF-hosted wikis.
You can turn on "Discussion Tools" in Beta Features now. After you get the Reply tool, you can change your preferences at any time in Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing-discussion.

The third round of the 2021 WikiCup has now come to an end. Each of the sixteen contestants who made it into the fourth round had at least 294 points, and our top six scorers all had over 600 points. They were:
In round three, contestants achieved 19 featured articles, 7 featured lists, 106 featured article reviews, 72 good articles, 1 good topic, 62 good article reviews, 165 DYKs and 96 ITN items. We enter the fourth round with scores reset to zero; 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 (one contestant in round 3 lost out because of this). When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met.

Hey Adam! I recently bought a second-hand book called Mansions on Rails which includes many photographs of railway cars and important figures in the railroad business of early 20th century US. I sadly don't have access to any book scanner that would allow me to digitize the books without distorting them by laying the book flat upside down, and so I've taken to using my phone and then cropping the images before starting restoration. I was wondering if you had any method of cropping the images aside from using something like a pdf scanner-app. I tried using Adobe Illustrator and creating a path on a clipping mask but I couldn't figure out how to then distort the result so that it wasn't angled. Sadly I don't have access to Photoshop right now. For now, I've limited myself to easy to crop pictures such as the image below (I still have to restore it, but thought it would be useful to upload it before any changes so that it can already be used on mainspace).

The fourth round of the competition has finished with over 500 points being required to qualify for the final round. It was a hotly competitive round with two contestants, The Rambling Man and Epicgenius, each scoring over 3000 points, and six contestants scoring over 1000. All but one of the finalists achieved one or more FAs during the round, the exception being Bloom6132 who demonstrated that 61 "in the news" items produces an impressive number of points. Other contestants who made it to the final are Gog the Mild, Lee Vilenski, BennyOnTheLoose, Amakuru and Hog Farm. However, all their points are now swept away and everyone starts afresh in the final round.
Round 4 saw the achievement of 18 featured articles and 157 good articles. Bilorv scored for a 25-article good topic on Black Mirror but narrowly missed out on qualifying for the final round. There was enthusiasm for FARs, with 89 being performed, and there were 63 GARs and around 100 DYKs during the round. As we start round 5, we say goodbye to the eight competitors who didn't quite make it to the final round; thank you for the useful contributions you have made to the Cup and Wikipedia, and we hope you will join us again next year. For other contestants, 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 14 days of "earning" them.

The WikiCup is over for another year and the finalists can relax! Our Champion this year is The Rambling Man ( submissions), who amassed over 5000 points in the final round, achieving 8 featured articles and almost 500 reviews. It was a very competitive round; seven of the finalists achieved over 1000 points in the round (enough to win the 2019 contest), and three scored over 3000 (enough to win the 2020 event). Our 2021 finalists and their scores were:
All those who reached the final round will win awards. The following special awards will be made based on high performance in particular areas of content creation and review. Awards will be handed out in the next few days.
Congratulations to everyone who participated in this year's WikiCup, whether they made it to the final round or not, and particular congratulations to the newcomers to the WikiCup, some of whom did very well. Wikipedia has benefitted greatly from the quality creations, expansions and improvements made, and the numerous reviews performed. Thanks to all who have taken part and helped out with the competition, not forgetting User:Jarry1250, who runs the scoring bot.
If you have views on whether the rules or scoring need adjustment for next year's contest, please comment on the WikiCup talk page. 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 2022 competition. Until then, it only remains to once again congratulate our worthy winners, and thank all participants for their involvement!
