Jazzing wikitables up a bit

Hi Skoty, hope you're keeping well. I thought I'd make this edit and see how it's received, as I think the same thing at Watford F.C. adds a little something. What do you reckon? —WFC23:07, 14 January 2012 (UTC)

Looks good. I say keep it. --SkotyWATC 00:54, 15 January 2012 (UTC)
I've given some feedback on the 2011 season. As for the tables, do you think I should do a similar thing for the header of the current squad, along the lines of Watford F.C.#Current squad? —WFC01:16, 15 January 2012 (UTC)
Yeah, I think that would look great actually. --SkotyWATC 01:24, 15 January 2012 (UTC)
On a sort of related note, I was wondering if I could ask your help. I'm trying to merge {{football squad player2}} with {{fs player2 sort}}. What I've come up with so far can be seen at User:WFCforLife/Fsc player, and the results at User:WFCforLife/Test. It works fine whether you use |name= or |first= |last= (name needs to be kept for the likes of Ronaldo). The problem is that I can't figure out how to de-link non-notable players. In sortname the code to do that looks like this: {{sortname|Tom|James|nolink=1}} (producing "Tom James"), but I've had trouble incorporating that into the merged template. —WFC22:30, 16 January 2012 (UTC)

Talk:2011 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Final/GA1

Hello, I have reviewed the GA nomination of this article, and am pleased to say that I have listed the article. There is one dead link, supported by other references, and a recommendation for alternative text on the images, but it is a well conceived article. Congratulations!

WP:FOUR RFC

There are two WP:RFCs at WP:FOUR. The first is to conflate issues so as to keep people from expressing meaningful opinions. The second, by me, is claimed to be less than neutral by proponents of the first. Please look at the second one, which I think is much better.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 07:32, 20 August 2013 (UTC)

WP:FAC

I noticed your FAC of 2011 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Final. As a sports fan, I was hoping you might consider reviewing Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/2012–13 Michigan Wolverines men's basketball team/archive1‎, which needs reviewers.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 06:29, 27 September 2013 (UTC)

I'll have a look in the next few days.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 20:23, 12 October 2013 (UTC)
Please consider resuming this review. It is getting long in the tooth and is right on the fence.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 15:46, 18 October 2013 (UTC)
Striking things does help out, but there is some controversy about whether three or four supports is sufficient for an article to pass. Given that it only has three, it is sort of being held up until there is further feedback one way or the other. If you would give some more thought to the nomination that would be helpful.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 06:22, 21 October 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for stopping by with the rest of your concerns. I hope I have adequately addressed them.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 07:03, 27 October 2013 (UTC)

Thanks...

The Running Man Barnstar

  The Running Man Barnstar
Thank you Skotywa for going to the extra mile to promote 2011 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Final. On behalf of the article's future audience, I award you The Running Man Barnstar. --Sp33dyphil ©hatontributions 07:31, 4 November 2013 (UTC)

Just a quick note to congratulate you on the promotion of 2011 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Final to FA status recently. If you would like to see this (or any other FA you may have helped to write) appear as "Today's featured article" soon, please nominate it at the requests page; if you'd like to see an FA on a particular date in the next year or so, please add it to the "pending" list. In the absence of a request, the article may end up being picked at any time (although with 1,336 articles in Category:Featured articles that have not appeared on the main page at present, there's no telling how long – or short! – the wait might be). If you'd got any TFA-related questions or problems, please let me know. Thanks, BencherliteTalk 11:12, 4 November 2013 (UTC)

This is to inform you that 2011 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Final , which you nominated at WP:FAC, will appear on the Wikipedia Main Page as Today's Featured Article on 16 September 2014. The proposed main page blurb is here ; you may amend if necessary. Please check for dead links and other possible faults before the appearance date. Brianboulton (talk) 23:19, 1 September 2014 (UTC)

Art+Feminism, Saturday, May 6, at Jacob Lawrence Gallery, UW Seattle

 

Art+Feminism Wikipedia Edit-a-Thon

Despite its wide reach, content on Wikipedia suffers from the bias of its editors: white, technically inclined, English-speaking men that live in developed, majority-Christian countries. This represents an alarming absence of voices in an increasingly important repository of shared knowledge.

In an effort to change this, the Jake is organizing a Wikipedia Edit-a-thon on Saturday, May 6th, 1 - 5 pm. Our mission is to bring together diverse communities to participate in Wikipedia editing, and improve its coverage of queer people and women of color in the arts.

We will provide childcare, snacks, and tutorials for the beginner editor.

Bring your laptop, power-cord and ideas for entries that need updating or creation. No previous Wikipedia experience required!

RSVP at and stay tuned to our Facebook page for updates.

What: Improving Wikipedia's coverage on queer and women artists of color
When: Saturday, May 6, 1-5pm
Where: Jacob Lawrence Gallery, Art Building #132, 1915 NE Chelan Ln, Seattle, WA 98105
Who: People of all gender identities and expressions are invited to participate.
What to bring: A laptop and power cord. Access to UW wifi will be provided for non-UW affliated participants.

Wikipedia is one of the most wide-reaching repositories of shared knowledge, yet a 2011 survey found that less than 10% of its contributors identify as female, suggesting an alarming absence of voices. What and how information is shared is skewed by this gender disparity. To help change this, the Jacob Lawrence Gallery is organizing a quarterly series of Edit-a-thons to improve Wikipedia's coverage of womxn artists of color.

This Saturday afternoon's gathering will focus on creating, editing, updating, and expanding pages for womxn artists from Latin America and the Caribbean. The Edit-a-thon will feature a talk by Dan Paz, Lecturer in the UW School of Art + Art History + Design, an artist, and an educator who explores the labor of digital imaging production as a collaborative site where the intersections of the image-idea and lived experience are produced and contested. Through videos, photography, and sculptural projects that query the ability of documentary processes to be manipulated—to be multiplied and replicated, stopped and started, rewound and advanced—Dan works within the impossibilities of absolute replication to question the very ability of the image to truly represent.

Everyone is welcome. Access to UW WiFi will be provided for non-UW affiliated participants. All you need to bring is your laptop, power cord, and ideas. No previous Wikipedia experience required! Childcare, snacks from local businesses, and editing tutorials will be provided. Please check the Facebook event page for updates.

Wikipedia Day 2019 — curating images from Asahel Curtis and older Seattle photos

In the Seattle area?

Tuesday evening, January 15, 2019, 6-9pm at Wayward Coffeehouse, 6417 Roosevelt Way NE #104, Seattle WA 98115

Wikipedia Day celebrates the anniversary of the founding of Wikipedia. This year in Seattle, Cascadia Wikimedians' celebration of Wikipedia Day will focus on a different closely related project: Wikimedia Commons, which (among other things) functions as the media repository for Wikipedia. When you see a photo or map in Wikipedia, or hear an audio clip, etc., it usually is hosted on Wikimedia Commons and "transcluded" into Wikipedia.

Wikimedia Commons is a mix of users' own works and curated third-party content, either public domain or free-licensed. Our event is a hands-on workshop in curating third-party content, mostly early 20th-century photos of Seattle and other West Coast locations.

Currently, Wikimedia Commons has two intersecting sets of older photos, one from the Asahel Curtis Photo Company and the other a more general set of Seattle images. At this meetup, we will celebrate the 18th anniversary of Wikipedia by further curating these images by the creation and addition of categories, adding ImageNotes where useful, linking other versions of the same photo, enhancing the descriptions, and identifying and correcting errors. User:Jmabel has already categorized over 1000 images and corrected several hundred wrong dates, misidentified buildings, and etc., but there is much more to be done.

For more information, please see Wikipedia:Meetup/Seattle#Wikipedia Day 2019 — curating images from Asahel Curtis and older Seattle photos.

Wikipedia’s gender trouble is well-documented. In a 2011 survey, the Wikimedia Foundation found that less than 10% of its contributors were women. While the reasons for the gender gap are up for debate, the practical effect of this disparity is not: content is skewed by the lack of representation from women.

Let’s change that.

To help change this, the Jacob Lawrence Gallery is continuing a series of Edit-a-thons to improve Wikipedia's coverage of womxn and gender non-binary artists of color.

Childcare, snacks from local businesses, and editing tutorials will be provided.

Description
  • Free parking is normally available on campus after 12pm on Saturdays.

  • The ‘Big Four,’ or the four white male artists that comprised the Northwest School, were the subject of the famous 1953 LIFE magazine article, "Mystic Painters of the Northwest": Guy Anderson, Kenneth Callahan, Morris Graves, and Mark Tobey. Each of these artists have robust pages on Wikipedia. However, key female-identifying artists from this time such as Margaret Gove Cafferman — who Mark Tobey cited as an influence on his work — lack Wikipedia articles.[* 1] To help address the imbalance of representation on Wikipedia, the Jacob Lawrence Gallery is organizing an Art + Feminism Wikipedia Edit-a-thon focused on female-identifying artists of the Pacific Northwest.

Proposed deletion of Sceptre Incorporated

 

The article Sceptre Incorporated has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

This article appears promotional and lacks significant coverage and independent sources. Subject may not be notable. Fixing the article would require a complete rewrite, if notability was met.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
