Accuracy, quality and peer review

We strive to make Wikipedia as accurate and as good as possible. If you see something you know is wrong, be bold and fix it. If you see something that seems wrong, leave a note on the article talk page and remove questionable assertions if no supporting evidence is provided. You can also use a verification template to add a citation needed tag after the text in question.

Peer review for accuracy and quality happens constantly through the Recent changes page and watchlists. A review can also be solicited on Wikipedia:Peer review, Wikipedia:Article assessment, and Wikipedia:Good article nominations. If you believe an article is really good, nominate it at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates. More sophisticated approval mechanisms are under constant discussion. Regardless, we do not guarantee accuracy and have a variety of other disclaimers. These are linked from every page, so please do not add more disclaimers to articles!

There is a semi-automated peer review available. The easiest way to install the script is to enable it as a Gadget: go to your user Preferences and check off the MoreMenu, adds Page and User dropdown menus to the toolbar... entry under Appearance and hit save. Each article page will then have a Page and User pull down menu near the top; go to the article; hover on Page; hover on Tools; click on Peer reviewer.

AfroCine: The Months of African Cinema Continues….

edit

Greetings!

Thank you very much for signing up to participate in the Months of African Cinema global contest/edit-a-thon, and thank you for your contributions so far.

It is already the middle of the contest and a lot have been achieved already! We have been able to get over 200 articles created in over seven (7) languages! The figures soars to up to a thousand, if Wikidata entries are included. Furthermore, there have been about 5 in-person gatherings of Wikipedians in different countries across the world to create articles about African(a) cinema!

We are very excited about what has been achieved so far, but your contributions are still needed to further exceed all expectations! Let’s create more articles before the end of this contest, which is this November!!!

  • Article suggestions can be found here. You can also add to this list.
  • Some notable reliable sources for African cinema can be found here. Again, this list needs expansion.
  • Interested in Wikidata translation? check out the Occupation Drive, which is being led by Wiki Loves Women, in support of the contest and the project!
  • Please remember to list articles you have created or improved in the Article Achievements section of the contest page, so that they can be easily tracked.

Thank you once again for being part of this global event!

Kind regards.--Jamie Tubers (talk) 22:50, 10 November 2018 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of Cinema of the Comeros

edit
 

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on Cinema of the Comeros requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Please stop indiscriminately adding images!

edit

I suspect you are participating in that contest in Meta... whatever. You are currently adding images a) apparently randomly chosen by keyword, b) without regard to quality and c) without caption, at d) unsuitable positions in the article. This is not helpful - it makes more work for people having to assess and clean it up than it aids the encyclopedia! I'm rolling back all these changes. If you want to add images, please choose them carefully, add a caption, and place them at the correct location in the article. Many of your pictures are either duplicates, of really bad quality, or almost unrelated to the topic. Stop it. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 16:38, 3 July 2020 (UTC)Reply

Captions under pictures

edit

Hi, thanks for adding missing pictures to articles. I have noticed though that alot of times you just copy the exact description from the page where the image was uploaded (eg here https://en.wiki.x.io/w/index.php?title=Plamen_Nikolov_(footballer,_born_1961)&oldid=966502648). Most of the times it doesnt really fit the image or is unnecessarily long. It would be better to not have a caption at all or a shorter one. If you dont know what to write there, just leave it blank.

Bulk uploading of improperly formatted and captioned images

edit

Hi. Your edits today are uniformly incorrect in at least two respects: (1) the image itself is being linked using the wrong formatting. for example, your edit on Tragocephala gorilla inserted the following line in the taxobox: "| image = bracket bracket File:Tragocephala nobilis gorilla - Flickr - Bennyboymothman.jpg|thumb| bracket bracket" which creates a box within a box. The correct formatting would have been "| image = Tragocephala nobilis gorilla - Flickr - Bennyboymothman.jpg" with no brackets, and no "File:" prefix. (2) your captions are incorrect, incomplete, and the scientific names are not in italics. In several cases, as in this one, the file name is also not the actual name of the species. This particular image is NOT Tracgocephala gorilla, but Tragocephala castnia cacaoensis, as noted in the accompanying text. Please do not bulk upload files - they need to be checked to ensure that they are what their file names claim they are. Dyanega (talk) 23:49, 20 July 2020 (UTC)Reply

OK. Thanks. I'll take note of that Godstime Elijah (talk) 09:50, 21 July 2020 (UTC)Reply

Also please do not create a caption with the same name as the page, as for example with your addition here. See WP:CAPLENGTH for caption guidelines. Also, for your edit summary "added image" is clear enough but I'm not sure what the hashtags are about e.g. #WPWPNG. Thanks Declangi (talk) 23:07, 21 July 2020 (UTC)Reply
You are still uploading many images with a caption that is the same as the article name. Check my linked example above and in these cases leave the image_caption field empty. Declangi (talk) 10:42, 30 July 2020 (UTC)Reply

DYK for Tolulope Arotile

edit

On 11 August 2020, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Tolulope Arotile, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Tolulope Oluwatoyin Sarah Arotile, the first female combat helicopter pilot in the Nigerian Army, died in a freak car accident? You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Tolulope Arotile), 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.

Uzor Arukwe moved to draftspace

edit

An article you recently created, Uzor Arukwe, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

edit

I was very much happy to cleanup your draft from its original state to this current state and it reminded me the joy I had in creating articles before I discovered the damage the Nigerian UPE ring was causing & became an anti-UPE editor, I haven’t checked to see if the draft article is notable enough or not but I’d begin to review it now & if so, would accept & publish it but if not would have to regretfully decline, all should take me about 45 minutes to start & finish, Now, speaking of undisclosed paid editing, I’d ask you a simple close ended question & id appreciate a precise response, have you received any financial reward to create this draft article or have you been promised financial rewards for creating this article ?

Beware of such articles

edit

I have draftified your article & it can be observed here Draft:Mr macaroni. Please beware of creating articles on individuals who at the moment are getting all the media buzz or who are currently in the spotlight. Read WP:TOOSOON, WP:BLP1EVENT, & WP:CRYSTALBALL. His comedy career is negligible & his current interest in activism, roughly (2 weeks) old now is also negligible, you may say “but he trends on Twitter every other day”. & i’d let you know now before you ask that; trending on Twitter invariably indicates popularity but unfortunately “popularity” & “notability” are not synonymous. I anticipated this good faith error was going to be made, hence wasn’t surprised to come across your newly, now draftified article & won’t be surprised to come across other articles similar to this. Celestina007 (talk) 21:06, 16 October 2020 (UTC)Reply

A quick follow up, you may continue to work on the article whilst it’s still in draftspace by including reliable sources to substantiate notability claims made in the article, if you can identify at least three solid sources that discusses him thoroughly, you can always ping me to have a second look or just submit it.

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.

Speedy deletion nomination of Esuike Theophy

edit
 

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Esuike Theophy requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a real person or group of people that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

An article you recently created, Roost Foundation, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

A tag has been placed on Caramel Plug requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

Wikimedians for Sustainable Development - December 2023 Newsletter

edit
This is our twenty-seventh newsletter, a sort of year-in-review for 2023.

Dear Wikimedians for Sustainable Development,

As we bid farewell to 2023, we reflect on a year that has been an uneven year for our user group. While the journey has been marked by some truly inspiring events, most of our efforts have been largely uncoordinated and the user group hasn't been the support it could have been. Yet, there's a glimmer of hope and a world of potential for 2024.

Highlights of 2023:

Newsletters Galore
We kicked off the year with zeal, sharing updates and inspiration through four newsletters. The number of things happening in the movement is astounding, but we need to rethink the format of the newsletter going into the next year.
Growing Strong
The Wikimedians for Sustainable Development family welcomed 33 new members in 2023. Your passion and dedication continue to inspire us, and we look forward to nurturing this community spirit in the year ahead.
Wikimania Talks
Our voices echoed far and wide at Wikimania, where several members of our community took the virtual stage to share insights and ideas about everything from Wikipedians-in-Residence's to open data. Your contributions showcased our commitment to sustainable development on a global scale.
Content Creation Magic
Throughout the year, our extended community demonstrated incredible dedication to expanding the knowledge base on Wikipedia. Countless hours were spent creating and curating content that aligns with our mission, contributing to a more sustainable digital ecosystem.
Campaigning hard
We saw a large variety of campaigns, from writing challenges to editathons. The willingness to experiment with new formats and partners, as well as learning from past efforts, shows great promise for the future.

Acknowledging Challenges:

While we celebrate these achievements, we acknowledge that 2023 presented its fair share of challenges. A lack of global coordination reminded us that the road to sustainable development is not always linear. However, it is precisely these challenges that fuel our determination to work together more cohesively in the coming year and proof that the user group is needed.

Hopeful Anticipation for 2024:

As we turn the page to 2024, let's carry forward the lessons learned and the successes celebrated. We are optimistic that, with renewed energy and a collective commitment, we will overcome obstacles and create an even more impactful and connected Wikimedians for Sustainable Development community.
