Disambiguation link notification for March 19Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Anglicanism, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page King Charles II (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Dougweller (talk) 12:17, 26 March 2014 (UTC) Your BS Kenny Britt Edit RemovalHe's not a ram, that was a rumor. All I changed was marking him as a free agent, which he is. Source: check any football site. any. My edit stands, and I'm going to remake it. Stop spreading misinformation. GD 66 bI see you reverted my conversion of GD 66 b into a redirect. Please note that the object GD 66 b is a non-existent planet, as detailed in the article GD 66, which gives the history of the detection and the reasons why there is no evidence that this system hosts a planet. As such it makes no sense to have an article giving all the information as though this were a real object, it is misleading to readers who might come across it. (Certainly one of the researchers who is involved in this is rather amused that Wikipedia rushed to get an article about this planet up [1]) I'd nominate it for deletion but as an anonymous user this is impossible for me. 77.56.99.23 (talk) 20:38, 30 March 2014 (UTC) Alan ClarkHi Anupam. First, congratulations on your dilligence in making extensive contributions to Wikipedia. Second, Alan Clark's infidelities were common knowledge in the UK during his lifetime, and interviewers sometimes pressed him on this matter. (There is a reference to his relationships with the Harknesses elsewhere in the article, and there are brief references to other such relationships in the diaries.) He never attempted to deny what he did. This aspect of his life is one of the things for which he is best remembered; I think that to make mention of his infidelities - especially after his death - comes well within the realm of what is accepted as fair comment within the North American and UK media. In the strict legal sense, I don't think it's possible to defame the dead. It would be hard to write a meaningful account of the lives of Edward VII or the first Duke of Wellington without making a passing mention of their mistresses, and I think the same is true of Clark. If you think I've overlooked something please let me know.

Watchmen Drum and Bugle Corps gives the bare-bones facts of a newborn organization. There is no attempt to sell anything, only to convey a bit of knowledge about the last of the currently active junior drum and bugle corps in North America to have an article in the Wikipedia. Yes, there may be issues with the article, but it is only a stub which still contains more accurate information than many new articles... As the organization ages and progresses, more information will be available to be added, and more references will be cited. I had hardly posted this article and was searching for the appropriate stub tags, when you jumped in and tagged it for multiple offenses to your ideas of what is right and proper for inclusion in Wikipedia. I have now calmed down enough to refrain from throwing epithets in your direction, but come on... WikiProject Drum Corps was once a flourishing activity on Wikipedia, yet when people posted new articles only to have them almost instantly tagged and deleted for "lack of notability" and sundry other causes, several dozen editors became disenchanted departed Wikipedia in disgust.

This is the first of a series of newsletters for Wikiproject Medicine's Translation Task Force. Our goal is to make all the medical knowledge on Wikipedia available to the world, in the language of your choice. note: you will not receive future editions of this newsletter unless you *sign up*; you received this version because you identify as a member of WikiProject MedicineSpotlight - Simplified article translation Wikiproject Medicine started translating simplified articles in February 2014. We now have 45 simplified articles ready for translation, of which the first on African trypanosomiasis or sleeping sickness has been translated into 46 out of ~100 languages. This list does not include the 33 additional articles that are available in both full and simple versions. Our goal is to eventually translate 1,000 simplified articles. This includes:
We are looking for subject area leads to both create articles and recruit further editors. We need people with basic medical knowledge who are willing to help out. This includes to write, translate and especially integrate medical articles. What's happening?
I've (CFCF) taken on the role of community organizer for this project, and will be working with this until December. The goals and timeline can be found here, and are focused on getting the project on a firm footing and to enable me to work near full-time over the summer, and part-time during the rest of the year. This means I will be available for questions and ideas, and you can best reach me by mail or on my talk page.
For those going to London in a month's time (or those already nearby) there will be at least one event for all medical editors, on Thursday August 7th. See the event page, which also summarizes medicine-related presentations in the main conference. Please pass the word on to your local medical editors.
There has previously been some resistance against translation into certain languages with strong Wikipedia presence, such as Dutch, Polish, and Swedish.
Integration is the next step after any translation. Despite this it is by no means trivial, and it comes with its own hardships and challenges. Previously each new integrator has needed to dive into the fray with little help from previous integrations. Therefore we are creating guides for specific Wikis that make integration simple and straightforward, with guides for specific languages, and for integrating on small Wikis. Instructions on how to integrate an article may be found here [7] News in short

If you disagree and even post a reply, I may think it best not to dispute what you say, and simply to accept the fact of your disagreement. You have every right to continue to defend the statements you are insisting on inserting in the Christmastide article. I will correct them only gradually, to enable you to do so. But I ask you here quietly to just consider for yourself the reliability of one sample of the books on which you base statements you are insisting on having in Wikipedia. A lunar calendar of the kind used by the ancient Greeks, like that still used by Jews, normally has 12 lunar months, but adds every few years an intercalary lunar month, making that year a 13-month year. In such a calendar it is nonsense to speak of a particular date as that fixed for the solstice: only after 19 years will the solstice return to approximately the same day of the same lunar month. Yet in the long quotation that you give, that book states: This arrangement became an administrative problem for the Roman Empire as it tried to coordinate the solar Julian calendar with the lunar calendars of its provinces in the east. While the Romans could roughly match the months in the two systems, the four cardinal points of the solar year--the two equinoxes and solstices--still fell on different dates. Even ignoring the Roman solar calendar, they fell in any lunar calendar on a different date each year from the year before, and the year after, and the year after that again! What stable lunar calendar date existed for comparison with that in the Roman solar calendar? It goes on: By the time of the first century, the calendar date of the winter solstice in Egypt and Palestine was eleven to twelve days later than the date in Rome. For one thing, Palestine had a lunar calendar and Egypt a very different solar calendar. An "Egypt and Palestine" date is nonsense. As far back as the time of Herodotus, the Greeks explicitly recognized the much greater accuracy of the Egyptian calendar for indicating the length of the real year. In fact the Greek calendar made only a very rough approximation to the length of the real year and for that reason had to be adjusted by adding a whole month every few years, to bring it a bit closer to the length of the real year. Both Greeks and Egyptians knew how to calculate the date on their respective calendars when the solstice was to occur, just as we can calculate the date on our calendar when the solstice will occur. You do know, of course, that in our calendar the December solstice, for instance, is sometimes on 21 December as in 2014 and sometimes on 22 December as in 2015. (I refer to UTC/GMT, of course. In India, it will already be 22 December even this year at the moment of the solstice.) Since the date of the solstice isn't quite fixed even on our solar calendar, what is this nonsense about a fixed date for it on a lunar calendar, on which it will appear not only on different days of the month but even in different lunar months in successive years? The book goes on: As a result the Incarnation came to be celebrated on different days in different parts of the Empire. The Incarnation, you surely know, is celebrated in March. I presume the writer meant, not the Incarnation, but the Birth of Jesus, which is celebrated in December, close to the date of the December solstice, a practice that began in the West and was only later accepted in the East. The imaginative The Western Church, in its desire to be universal, eventually took them both--one became Christmas, one Epiphany--with a resulting twelve days in between needs no comment except to say it is imaginative. Over time this hiatus became invested with specific Christian meaning. The Church gradually filled these days with saints, some connected to the birth narratives in Gospels (Holy Innocents' Day, December 28, in honor of the infants slaughtered by Herod; St. John the Evangelist, "the Beloved," December 27; St. Stephen, the first Christian martyr, December 26; the Holy Family, December 31; the Virgin Mary, January 1). So, according to this book, what it declares to be a hiatus was filled only in the second half of the 20th century (Feast of the Holy Family, which is celebrated on 31 December only if that day is a Sunday)! And it makes this statement in relation to a Council of Tours held 14 centuries earlier! That council found no 12-day "hiatus" there (as it found no "hiatus" in the whole month of August, even for a single day), except perhaps for 1–3 January, since each day of 25-31 December and 4-6 January was already the feast of a saint, with 1-3 January devoted by earlier decisions (the "Fathers") to be days of penance, and declared by the Council of Tours itself to be days of fasting for monks.

The 18th edition of Ethnologue just came out, and if we divide up our language articles among us, it won't take long to update them. I would appreciate it if you could help out, even if it's just a few articles (5,000 articles is a lot for just me), but I won't be insulted if you delete this request. A largely complete list of articles to be updated is at Category:Language articles citing Ethnologue 17. The priority articles are in Category:Language articles with old Ethnologue 17 speaker data. These are the 10% that have population figures at least 25 years old. Probably 90% of the time, Ethnologue has not changed their figures between the 17th and 18th editions, so all we need to do is change "e17" to "e18" in the reference (ref) field of the language info box. That will change the citation for the artcle to the current edition. Please put the data in the proper fields, or the info box will flag it as needing editorial review. The other relevant fields are "speakers" (the number of native speakers in all countries), "date" (the date of the reference or census that Ethnologue uses, not the date of Ethnologue!), and sometimes "speakers2". Our convention has been to enter e.g. "1990 census" when a census is used, as other data can be much older than the publication date. Sometimes a citation elsewhere in the article depends on the e17 entry, in which case you will need to change "name=e17" to "name=e18" in the reference tag (assuming the 18th edition still supports the cited claim). Remember, we want the *total* number of native speakers, which is often not the first figure given by Ethnologue. Sometimes the data is too incompatible to add together (e.g. a figure from the 1950s for one country, and a figure from 2006 for another), in which case it should be presented that way. That's one use for the "speakers2" field. If you're not sure, just ask, or skip that article. Data should not be displayed with more than two, or at most three, significant figures. Sometimes it should be rounded off to just one significant figure, e.g. when some of the component data used by Ethnologue has been approximated with one figure (200,000, 3 million, etc.) and the other data has greater precision. For example, a figure of 200,000 for one country and 4,230 for another is really just 200,000 in total, as the 4,230 is within the margin of rounding off in the 200,000. If you want to retain the spurious precision of the number in Ethnologue, you might want to use the {{sigfig}} template. (First parameter in this template is for the data, second is for the number of figures to round it off to.) Dates will often need to be a range of all the country data in the Ethnologue article. When entering the date range, I often ignore dates from countries that have only a few percent of the population, as often 10% or so of the population isn't even separately listed by Ethnologue and so is undated anyway. If Ethnologue does not provide a date for the bulk of the population, just enter "no date" in the date field. But if the population figure is undated, and hasn't changed between the 17th & 18th editions of Ethnologue, please leave the ref field set to "e17", and maybe add a comment to keep it so that other editors don't change it. In cases like this, the edition of Ethnologue that the data first appeared in may be our only indication of how old it is. We still cite the 14th edition in a couple dozen articles, so our readers can see that the data is getting old. The articles in the categories linked above are over 90% of the job. There are probably also articles that do not currently cite Ethnologue, but which we might want to update with the 18th edition. I'll need to generate another category to capture those, probably after most of the Ethnologue 17 citations are taken care of. Jump in at the WP:LANG talk page if you have any comments or concerns.

A tag has been placed on Catholic Fraternity of Charismatic Covenant Communities and Fellowships requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This article or image appears to be a direct copy from http://www.catholicfraternity.org/about.php?lang=en. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.

I am glad other contributors/users are working to help improve pages for denominations and provide accurate information. While much of the condensing you contributed was accurate, some of the wordage could be interpreted as one-sided or even offensive. First, trans* people do not refer to themselves with 'transgenderism' so that is not accurate or suitable. Secondly, official statements from Annual Conferences, Committees, and official agencies are official of the policies and positions of those Conferences and denominational organizations. For example, more than 18 Annual Conferences support same-gender marriage and that should be included in any discussion on differing views in the denomination. SeminarianJohn (talk) 08:17, 20 May 2016 (UTC) Also, you added a statement that states that the UMC does not give funds to LGBT causes and, while in a limited sense that is accurate, that does not also include information that congregations and conferences can, and do, give funds to those groups.

Hi there, I was wondering whether you have any sources (including informal/anecdotal) on the Scapular of Our Lady of Walsingham aside from the ones you give in the article. The reason I ask is that your sources do not support the present tense of the article. I myself am a member of the Society of Our Lady of Walsingham and, contrary to the claim in the article, the Society does not invest one in the scapular on joining. Indeed, I cannot find any evidence to suggest that this scapular is still in use - all mentions of the scapular's existence seem to date from the early 20th century. The more recent sources you give in the article do not mention the scapular, so the article violates WP:SYNTH to a large extent. If I am right and this scapular is extinct, the article ought to be rewritten to reflect this. It would also be worthwhile to find out when it fell out of use and why, and to incorporate this information into the article.--Newbiepedian (talk · contribs · X! · logs) 03:21, 11 July 2016 (UTC)

The Wikipedia:WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like South East Asia, Japan/China or India etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Asian content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 200 articles in just three days. If you would like to see this happening for Asia, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Asia, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant!

Speedy deletion work is important and I do appreciate the effort. I would just ask that you please review the criteria carefully because accuracy is also important. On that issue, I have declined your speedy deletion nomination of To the Wind and On To Heaven as an article that does not credibly indicate the importance or significance of the topic under CSD A7. That criterion did not apply because the article was about an album, and A7 only applies to articles on real persons or groups, individual animals, organisations, web content and organised events. Albums come under A9, but that also did not apply because it is only for articles on musical recordings where none of the contributing recording artists has an article.

In this addition to Shina language you cite Cardona's book for the use of the Devanagari script for the language. I've had a look at the book (to be precise, the 2003 version, which afaik should be identical in content to the 2007 reprint that you cite), and I wasn't able to verify that. On the page cited (947) there's no discussion of Shina at all: the page is about passives in Kashmiri. There is a little paragraph elsewhere (p. 823, which according to the index is the only passage that discusses the writing system of Shina) and the only thing it mentions in connection with Devanagari is that it was proposed in the 1970s by Rajapurohit for the Darsi variety. Is there any way you could double check this was the exact book you meant to cite there? Many thanks! – Uanfala 22:08, 21 September 2017 (UTC) Eucharist orderingHi Anupam, Just for you to understand my edit. The starting sentence on the eucharist was the abandonment of apostolic succession because it links up with the previous last sentence of the previous section on apostolic succession being abandoned.

Your edit summary says you were restoring the lead, but a lot of the body was also changed and, as far as I can see, the new content is a lot worse. The citations seem clobbered as well.

Catholic sisters pipe or article?Thanks for eliminating the Brothers (Catholic) page that I created; I realized my mistake and went back to delete it, and found that you had already taken care of it. But may I ask you, what would you think of my creating a redirect for "Catholic sister" to Nun#Distinction between a nun and a religious sister? Catholic sisters today do not like to be called nuns; the distinction has become so wide that I considered creating a separate page for Catholic sisters and moving some of the material on them from "Nun" to there. With the "sister" category overtaking that of "nun" in the modern Catholic church, would you think it helpful to have a separate article on Catholic sisters? Jzsj (talk) 19:57, 19 February 2018 (UTC)

Project News Belated Happy Easter and Kalo Pascha! We're excited to announce the return of our newsletter Ichthus! Getting this issue out was touch-and-go for a while. Check out what's happening at the Project:
In March the Project saw four articles promoted to GA-Class. They were the oh-so-irresistible Delilah (nom. MagicatthemovieS) (pictured), Edict of Torda (nom. Borsoka), David Meade (author) (nom. LovelyGirl7) and last but not least Black Christmas (2006 film) (nom. Drown_Soda). Black Christmas? How did that get in there lol? Congratulations to all of the nominators for a job well done!
... that some people know Christ the Lord is risen today from Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch?" Featured article Jesus (7–2 BC to 30–33 AD) is the central figure of Christianity, whom the teachings of most Christian denominations hold to be the Son of God and the awaited Messiah of the Old Testament. Virtually all modern scholars of antiquity agree that a historical Jesus existed, although there is little agreement on the reliability of the gospel narratives and how closely the biblical Jesus reflects the historical Jesus. Most scholars agree that Jesus was a Jewish preacher from Galilee, was baptized by John the Baptist, and was crucified in Jerusalem on the orders of the Roman prefect, Pontius Pilate. Christians generally believe that Jesus was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of a virgin, performed miracles, founded the Church, died by crucifixion as a sacrifice to achieve atonement, rose from the dead, and ascended into heaven, from which he will return. The great majority of Christians worship Jesus as the incarnation of God the Son, the second of three Persons of a Divine Trinity. A few Christian groups reject Trinitarianism, wholly or partly, as non-scriptural. In Islam, Jesus is considered one of God's important prophets and the Messiah. (Full article...)

ThanksThanks for looking at the heresy list article. Just as an FYI, I did change your addition citing Benedict XVI: the book was written in 1993, long before the person of Joseph Ratzinger was elected Pope Benedict XVI. Normally sources make the distinction, and the book was published under that name originally. Most of the time the reprints include the Benedict name as a marketing tactic by the publisher, not as an actual change of authorship status. Not a big deal, but wanted to let you know in case you come across any pre-2005 Ratzinger. TonyBallioni (talk) 04:37, 27 April 2018 (UTC) Lutherans and imagesHi, I think the line you are pushing in various articles misrepresents the equivocal attitude to images than Lutherans have had, going back to Luther himself. It is as easy to assemble hostile remarks by Luther on images as positive ones, and the plain fact is that Lutheran churches saw almost as big a clear-out of pre-Reformation Catholic art as Calvinist ones, with any replacement of works very slow and patchy. You should also be careful about attributing theological positions to large groups of the population in the 16th century. Although the lay public took a much greater interest in such things than even regular church-goers do today, most uneducated people could not have articulated clearly their thoughts on such matters. General sources on these issues should be treated with some caution - recent work by specialists will typically be much more nuanced. This is an interesting article on Lutheran attitudes at various periods, which gives a more balanced perspective. Also this. Johnbod (talk) 13:25, 30 April 2018 (UTC) Ichthus: May 2018
Project News Last month's auspicious relaunch of our newsletter precipitated something of an uproar in the Wikipedia community. What started as a localized edit war over censorship spilled over onto the Administrator's Noticeboard finally ending up at Wikipedia's supreme judicial body ArbCom. Their ruling resulted in the admonishment of administrator Future Perfect at Sunrise for his involvement in the dispute. The story was reported by Wikipedia's venerable flagship newspaper The Signpost. The question of whether to delete all portals--including the 27 Christianity-related portals--was put to the Wikipedia community. Approximately 400 editors have participated in the protracted discussion. Going by !votes, Oppose deletion has a distinct majority. The original Christianity Portal was created on November 5, 2005 by Brisvegas and the following year he successfully nominated the portal for Featured Portal. The Transhumanist has revived WikiProject Portals with hopes of revitalizing Wikipedia's system of 1,515 portals. Stay up-to-date on the latest happenings at the Project
Four articles in the Project were promoted to GA: Edict of Torda nom. by Borsoka, Jim Bakker nom. by LovelyGirl7, Ralph Abernathy nom. by Coffee and Psalm 84 nom. by Gerda_Arendt. The Psalm ends with "O Lord of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee." Words to live by. Please support our members and send some WikiLove to the nominators! Featured article Operation Auca was an attempt by five Evangelical Christian missionaries from the United States to make contact with the Huaorani people of the rainforest of Ecuador. The Huaorani, also known as the Aucas, were an isolated tribe known for their violence, both against their own people and outsiders who entered their territory. With the intention of being the first Protestants to evangelize the Huaorani, the missionaries began making regular flights over Huaorani settlements in September 1955, dropping gifts. After several months of exchanging gifts, on January 2, 1956, the missionaries established a camp at "Palm Beach", a sandbar along the Curaray River, a few miles from Huaorani settlements. Their efforts culminated on January 8, 1956, when all five—Jim Elliot, Nate Saint, Ed McCully, Peter Fleming, and Roger Youderian—were attacked and speared by a group of Huaorani warriors. The news of their deaths was broadcast around the world, and Life magazine covered the event with a photo essay. The deaths of the men galvanized the missionary effort in the United States, sparking an outpouring of funding for evangelization efforts around the world. Their work is still frequently remembered in evangelical publications, and in 2006, was the subject of the film production End of the Spear. (more...)

... that in 1636, Phineas Hodson, Chancellor of York Minster, lost his 38-year-old wife Jane during the birth of the couple's 24th child? Featured article The Mortara case was a controversy precipitated by the Papal States' seizure of Edgardo Mortara, a six-year-old Jewish child, from his family in Bologna, Italy, in 1858. The city's inquisitor, Father Pier Feletti, heard from a servant that she had administered emergency baptism to the boy when he fell sick as an infant, and the Supreme Sacred Congregation of the Roman and Universal Inquisition held that this made the child irrevocably a Catholic. Because the Papal States had forbidden the raising of Christians by members of other faiths, it was ordered that he be taken from his family and brought up by the Church. After visits from the child's father, international protests mounted, but Pope Pius IX would not be moved. The boy grew up as a Catholic with the Pope as a substitute father, trained for the priesthood in Rome until 1870, and was ordained in France three years later. In 1870 the Kingdom of Italy captured Rome during the unification of Italy, ending the pontifical state; opposition across Italy, Europe and the United States over Mortara's treatment may have contributed to its downfall.

ARBITRATION REPORT
Russian Agents Editing at American Politics?
By Lionelt After a series of unfortunate events largely self-created, bureaucrat and admin Andrevan was the subject of an Arbitration case for conduct unbecoming. Prior to the case getting underway Andrevan resigned as bureaucrat and admin. A widely discussed incident was when he suggested that some editors he described as "pro-Trump" were paid Russian agents. This resulted in a number of editors from varied quarters denouncing the allegations and voicing support for veteran editors including Winkelvi and the notorious MONGO. Editors who faced Enforcement action include SPECIFICO (no action), Factchecker atyourservice (three month topic ban ARBAPDS), Netoholic (no action) and Anythingyouwant (indef topic ban ARBAPDS).

Breitbart Versus Wikipedia
By Lionelt Breitbart News, in response to Facebook's decision to use Wikipedia as a source to fight fake news, has declared war on our beloved pedia. The article in Haaretz describes the Facebook arrangement as Wikipedia's "greatest test in years" as well as a "massive threat" to the encyclopedia that anyone can edit. Breitbart's targeting of Wikipedia has resulted in an "epic battle" with respect to editing at the Breitbart article. The article has also recently experienced a dramatic increase in traffic with 50,000 visitors according to Haaretz. There is no love lost between Breitbart and Wikipedia where editors at the Reliable Sources Noticeboard have criticized the news websites unreliability and have compared it to The Daily Mail.

List of dates predicted for apocalyptic events. Predictions of apocalyptic events that would result in the extinction of humanity, a collapse of civilization, or the destruction of the planet have been made since at least the beginning of the Christian Era. Most predictions are related to Abrahamic religions, often standing for or similar to the eschatological events described in their scriptures. Christian predictions typically refer to events like the Rapture, Great Tribulation, Last Judgment, and the Second Coming of Christ. Polls conducted in 2012 across 20 countries found over 14% of people believe the world will end in their lifetime, with percentages raging from 6% of people in France to 22% in the US and Turkey. In the UK in 2015, the general public believed the likeliest cause would be nuclear war, while experts thought it would be artificial intelligence. Between one and three percent of people from both countries thought the apocalypse would be caused by zombies or alien invasion. (more...)

DISCUSSION REPORT
WikiProject Conservatism Comes Under Fire
By Lionelt WikiProject Conservatism was a topic of discussion at the Administrators' Noticeboard/Incident (AN/I). Objective3000 started a thread where he expressed concern regarding the number of RFC notices posted on the Discussion page suggesting that such notices "could result in swaying consensus by selective notification." Several editors participated in the relatively abbreviated six hour discussion. The assertion that the project is a "club for conservatives" was countered by editors listing examples of users who "profess no political persuasion." It was also noted that notification of WikiProjects regarding ongoing discussions is explicitly permitted by the WP:Canvassing guideline. At one point the discussion segued to feedback about The Right Stuff. Member SPECIFICO wrote: "One thing I enjoy about the Conservatism Project is the handy newsletter that members receive on our talk pages." Atsme praised the newsletter as "first-class entertainment...BIGLY...first-class...nothing even comes close...it's amazing." Some good-natured sarcasm was offered with Objective3000 observing, "Well, they got the color right" and MrX's followup, "Wow. Yellow is the new red." Admin Oshwah closed the thread with the result "definitely not an issue for ANI" and directing editors to the project Discussion page for any further discussion. Editor's note: originally the design and color of The Right Stuff was chosen to mimic an old, paper newspaper.

RECENT RESEARCH
Research About AN/I
By Lionelt Reprinted in part from the April 26, 2018 issue of The Signpost; written by Zarasophos
Out of over one hundred questioned editors, only twenty-seven (27%) are happy with the way reports of conflicts between editors are handled on the Administrators' Incident Noticeboard (AN/I), according to a recent survey . The survey also found that dissatisfaction has varied reasons including "defensive cliques" and biased administrators as well as fear of a "boomerang effect" due to a lacking rule for scope on AN/I reports. The survey also included an analysis of available quantitative data about AN/I. Some notable takeaways:
In the wake of Zarasophos' article editors discussed the AN/I survey at The Signpost and also at AN/I. Ironically a portion of the AN/I thread was hatted due to "off-topic sniping." To follow-up the problems identified by the research project the Wikimedia Foundation Anti-Harassment Tools team and Support and Safety team initiated a discussion.

We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:
In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID). Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. The conflict of interest guideline (see WP:PAY) strongly discourages paid contributors from directly editing articles.

This year's award for the Reviewer of the Year goes to Onel5969. Around on Wikipedia since 2011, their staggering number of 26,554 reviews over the past twelve months makes them, together with an additional total of 275,285 edits, one of Wikipedia's most prolific users.
See also the list of top 100 reviewers.
The backlog is now approaching 5,000, and still rising. There are around 640 holders of the NPR flag, most of whom appear to be inactive. The 10% of the reviewers who do 90% of the work could do with some support especially as some of them are now taking a well deserved break.
At #1 position, the Community Wishlist poll closed on 3 December with a resounding success for NPP, reminding the WMF and the volunteer communities just how critical NPP is to maintaining a clean encyclopedia and the need for improved tools to do it. A big 'thank you' to everyone who supported the NPP proposals. See the results.

Can a non-admin do that? Fylindfotberserk (talk) 09:27, 18 February 2019 (UTC)
That Blamen2 was Nsmutte also imitating Bonadea who pointed it out on Fylind's complaint. But, I was hoping you could have a relook at Minahan at least once. Reporting some details also reported by others can't correct the flaws. I think you already know about his wrong characterization of Arab & Ghaznavid invasions, plus timelines not backed up by historical facts. Most importantly Minahan was characterizing Nuristaini faith, not that of the Kalash for which you used him.

Did You Know?
Nominated by Stalinsunnykvj... that the first attempt to build the Holy Trinity Cathedral of the Alexander Nevsky Lavra resulted in the demolition of the nearly completed structure? Featured article
Nominated by StalinsunnykvjSaint Fin Barre's Cathedral is a Gothic Revival three-spire cathedral in the city of Cork, Ireland. It belongs to the Church of Ireland and was completed in 1879. The cathedral is located on the south side of the River Lee, on ground that has been a place of worship since the 7th century, and is dedicated to Finbarr of Cork, patron saint of the city. It was once in the Diocese of Cork; it is now one of the three cathedrals in the Church of Ireland Diocese of Cork, Cloyne and Ross, in the ecclesiastical province of Dublin. Christian use of the site dates back to a 7th-century AD monastery, which according to legend was founded by Finbarr of Cork. The entrances contain the figures of over a dozen biblical figures, capped by a tympanum showing a Resurrection scene.

More new features are being added to the feed, including the important red alert for previously deleted pages. This will only work if it is selected in your filters. Best is to 'select all'. Do take a moment to check out all the new features if you have not already done so. If anything is not working as it should, please let us know at NPR. There is now also a live queue of AfC submissions in the New Pages Feed. Feel free to review AfCs, but bear in mind that NPP is an official process and policy and is more important.
Articles are still not always being checked thoroughly enough. If you are not sure what to do, leave the article for a more experienced reviewer. Please be on the alert for any incongruities in patrolling and help your colleagues where possible; report patrollers and autopatrolled article creators who are ostensibly undeclared paid editors. The displayed ORES alerts offer a greater 'at-a-glance' overview, but the new challenges in detecting unwanted new content and sub-standard reviewing do not necessarily make patrolling any easier, nevertheless the work may have a renewed interest factor of a different kind. A vibrant community of reviewers is always ready to help at NPR.
The backlog is still far too high at between 7,000 and 8,000. Of around 700 user rights holders, 80% of the reviewing is being done by just TWO users. In the light of more and more subtle advertising and undeclared paid editing, New Page Reviewing is becoming more critical than ever.
NPR is triage, it is not a clean up clinic. This move feature is not limited to bios so you may have to slightly re-edit the text in the template before you save the move. Anything that is not fit for mainspace but which might have some promise can be draftified - particularly very poor English and machine and other low quality translations.
Remember to use the message feature if you are just tagging an article for maintenance rather than deletion. Otherwise articles are likely to remain perma-tagged. Many creators are SPA and have no intention of returning to Wikipedia. Use the feature too for leaving a friendly note note for the author of a first article you found well made or interesting. Many have told us they find such comments particularly welcoming and encouraging.
Admins are now taking advantage of the new time-limited user rights feature. If you have recently been accorded NPR, do check your user rights to see if this affects you. Depending on your user account preferences, you may receive automated notifications of your rights changes. Requests for permissions are not mini-RfAs. Helpful comments are welcome if absolutely necessary, but the bot does a lot of the work and the final decision is reserved for admins who do thorough research anyway.
School and academic holidays will begin soon in various places around the Western world. Be on the lookout for the usual increase in hoax, attack, and other junk pages. Our next newsletter might be announcing details of a possible election for co-ordinators of NPR. If you think you have what it takes to micro manage NPR, take a look at New Page Review Coordinators - it's a job that requires a lot of time and dedication.

The Top 6 Articles

A suicide attack on July 11th claimed by Islamic State (IS) near a church in the Syrian city of Qamishli shows that Christians remain a major target of the terror group. The Top 6 most popular articles about People in WikiProject Christianity were:
Did You Know?
Nominated by Stalinsunnykvj... that The Vision of Dorotheus is one of the earliest examples of Christian hexametric poetry? Featured article
Nominated by StalinsunnykvjWhen God Writes Your Love Story: The Ultimate Approach to Guy/Girl Relationships is a 1999 book by Eric and Leslie Ludy, an American married couple. After becoming a bestseller on the Christian book market, the book was republished in 2004 and then revised and expanded in 2009. It tells the story of the authors' first meeting, courtship, and marriage. The authors advise single people not to be physically or emotionally intimate with others, but to wait for the spouse that God has planned for them. The book is divided into five sections and sixteen chapters. Each chapter is written from the perspective of one of the two authors; nine are by Eric, while Leslie wrote seven, as well as the introduction. The Ludys argue that one's love life should be both guided by and subordinate to one's relationship with God. Leslie writes that God offers new beginnings to formerly unchaste or sexually abused individuals.

Instead of reaching a magic 300 as it once did last year, the backlog approaching 6,000 is still far too high. An effort is also needed to ensure that older unsuitable older pages at the back of the queue do not get automatically indexed for Google.
A proposal is taking place here to confirm a nominated user as Coordinator of NPR.
Why I Hate Speedy Deleters, a 2008 essay by long since retired Ballonman, is still as valid today. Those of us who patrol large numbers of new pages can be forgiven for making the occasional mistake while others can learn from their 'beginner' errors. Worth reading.
Do bear in mind that articles in the feed showing the trash can icon (you will need to have 'Nominated for deletion' enabled for this in your filters) may have been tagged by inexperienced or non NPR rights holders using Twinkle. They require your further verification.
Please be sure to look for the tell-tale signs of undisclosed paid editing. Contact the creator if appropriate, and submit the issue to WP:COIN if necessary. WMF policy requires paid editors to connect to their adverts.
Regular reviewers will appreciate the most recent enhancements to the New Pages Feed and features in the Curation tool, and there are still more to come. Due to the wealth of information now displayed by ORES, reviewers are strongly encouraged to use the system now rather than Twinkle; it will also correctly populate the logs. Stub sorting, by SD0001: A new script is available for adding/removing stub tags. See User:SD0001/StubSorter.js, It features a simple HotCat-style dynamic search field. Many of the reviewers who are using it are finding it an improvement upon other available tools. Assessment: The script at User:Evad37/rater makes the addition of Wikiproject templates extremely easy. New page creators rarely do this. Reviewers are not obliged to make these edits but they only take a few seconds. They can use the Curation message system to let the creator know what they have done.

New Page Review newsletter November 2019Hello Anupam, This newsletter comes a little earlier than usual because the backlog is rising again and the holidays are coming very soon.
There are now 824 holders of the New Page Reviewer flag! Most of you requested the user right to be able to do something about the huge backlog but it's still roughly less than 10% doing 90% of the work. Now it's time for action.
Admin Barkeep49 has been officially invested as NPP/NPR coordinator by a unanimous consensus of the community. This is a complex role and he will need all the help he can get from other experienced reviewers.
Paid editing is still causing headaches for even our most experienced reviewers: This official Wikipedia article will be an eye-opener to anyone who joined Wikipedia or obtained the NPR right since 2015. See The Hallmarks to know exactly what to look for and take time to examine all the sources.
Would you like feedback on your reviews? Are you an experienced reviewer who can give feedback to other reviewers? If so there are two new feedback pilot programs. New Reviewer mentorship will match newer reviewers with an experienced reviewer with a new reviewer. The other program will be an occasional peer review cohort for moderate or experienced reviewers to give feedback to each other. The first cohort will launch November 13.
The annual ArbCom election will be coming up soon. All eligible users will be invited to vote. While not directly concerned with NPR, Arbcom cases often lead back to notability and deletion issues and/or actions by holders of advanced user rights.
There is to be no wish list for WMF encyclopedias this year. We thank Community Tech for their hard work addressing our long list of requirements which somewhat overwhelmed them last year, and we look forward to a successful completion.

I was reading the article Christian perfection and came across a couple phrases or sentences that didn't make sense, both added by you in the last couple of years. First, in this edit, I wonder whether the phrase "Perfect love, as Christian perfect is often called" is right. Did the source say perhaps "as Christian perfection is often called"? I can't check your reference. Second, in this edit, I don't understand the sentence: Irenaeus wrote about the spiritual transformation that occurred in the believer as the Holy Spirit is to "fit us for God." It doesn't seem to be grammatical. Can you tell me what you meant? Should it perhaps say: Irenaeus wrote that the spiritual transformation occurring in the believer was a work of the Holy Spirit to "fit us for God." Thanks. Please Ping me when you answer.

A Song for Simeon, is a 37-line poem written in 1928 by American-English poet T. S. Eliot (1888–1965). It is one of five poems that Eliot contributed to the Ariel poems series of 38 pamphlets by several authors published by Faber and Gwyer. "A Song for Simeon" was the sixteenth in the series and included an illustration by avant garde artist Edward McKnight Kauffer. The poem's narrative echoes the text of the Nunc dimittis, a liturgical prayer for Compline from the Gospel passage. Eliot introduces literary allusions to earlier writers Lancelot Andrewes, Dante Alighieri and St. John of the Cross. Critics have debated whether Eliot's depiction of Simeon is a negative portrayal of a Jewish figure and evidence of anti-Semitism on Eliot's part.

"Faith lived in the incognito is one which is located outside the criticism coming from society, from politics, from history, for the very reason that it has itself the vocation to be a source of criticism. It is faith (lived in the incognito) which triggers the issues for the others, which causes everything seemingly established to be placed in doubt, which drives a wedge into the world of false assurances." French philosopher, sociologist, and professor who was a noted Christian anarchist.~ Jacques Ellul Quotations related to Jacques Ellul at Wikiquote
