DYK for Teleseme

On 3 April 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Teleseme, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that hotel guests in the 1890s could use a teleseme (example pictured) to order cocktails and call manservants? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Teleseme. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Teleseme), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed.

Hey @Gobonobo, thanks for such an interesting article! Out of curiosity, how did you find out about the teleseme? By the way, I just added it to the list of obsolete technology :-) Crunchydillpickle🥒 (talk) 13:50, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
Hi Crunchydillpickle. Thank you for the link. That contraption has been sitting in my list of articles to create for quite a while. I think I first encountered it in a thread about low-hanging fruit at the site that shall not be named. gobonobo + c 18:34, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Arkansas Federal Credit Union

Notice

The article Arkansas Federal Credit Union has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Completely unsourced. No evidence of meeting WP:ORGCRIT.

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.

Replaceable non-free use File:Charlotte Friend (biologist).jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Charlotte Friend (biologist).jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of non-free use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of non-free use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{Di-replaceable non-free use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable non-free use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
  2. On the file's talk page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification, per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

This bot DID NOT nominate any of your contributions for deletion; please refer to the history of each individual page for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 10:00, 5 April 2024 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Credit unions based in Arkansas

A tag has been placed on Category:Credit unions based in Arkansas indicating that it is currently empty, and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion. If it remains empty for seven days or more, it may be deleted under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and removing the speedy deletion tag. Liz Read! Talk! 21:48, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

Page mover granted

Hello, Gobonobo. Your account has been granted the "extendedmover" user right, either following a request for it or demonstrating familiarity with working with article names and moving pages. You are now able to rename pages without leaving behind a redirect, move subpages when moving the parent page(s), and move category pages.

Please take a moment to review Wikipedia:Page mover for more information on this user right, especially the criteria for moving pages without leaving a redirect. Please remember to follow post-move cleanup procedures and make link corrections where necessary, including broken double-redirects when suppressredirect is used. This can be done using Special:WhatLinksHere. It is also very important that no one else be allowed to access your account, so you should consider taking a few moments to secure your password. As with all user rights, be aware that if abused, or used in controversial ways without consensus, your page mover status can be revoked.

If you do not want the page mover right anymore, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Thank you, and happy editing! Primefac (talk) 19:28, 10 April 2024 (UTC)

Why?

Hello dearest editor,
I probably believe something is wrong somewhere especially with your mots recent edit on the article, Draft:Gerald F. Seib. Firstly, you tagged it per copyvio (close paraphrasing) of a detector which was cited from another source. Common, the article was created by a new editor as I can see and may not know all these things, the best option is to help. Optionally, the article in question meets out general notability guidelines for WP:JOURNALIST and WP:GNG and mostly, even if it goes to AFD, it will possibly survive. That's the goal of AFC and not otherwise. Now, my major interest is why this revert. It seems good to me and as a matter of fact, can be copyedited (there are many articles needing copywdit on same encyclopedia). I just saw this reversion and decide to demand the reason when you could have deleted the copied ones and revdel. Besides, we know the rile there is that it should be deleted when nothing is left after removing the copied ones. — Safari ScribeEdits! Talk! 15:15, 28 April 2024 (UTC)

WikiCup 2024 May newsletter

The second round of the 2024 WikiCup ended on 28 April. This round was particularly competitive: each of the 32 contestants who advanced to Round 3 scored at least 141 points. This is the highest number of points required to advance to Round 3 since 2014.

The following scorers in Round 2 all scored more than 500 points:

The full scores for Round 2 can be seen here. So far this year, competitors have gotten 18 featured articles, 22 featured lists, and 186 good articles, 76 in the news credits and at least 200 did you know credits. They have conducted 165 featured article reviews, as well as 399 good article reviews and peer reviews, and have added 21 articles to featured topics and good topics.

Remember that any content promoted after 28 April but before the start of Round 3 can be claimed during Round 3, which starts on 1 May at 00:00 (UTC). 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 Needed.

WikiProject Anarchism checking in

Hey there! Just wanted to say thanks for finding an image of Rosa Laviña for the article I wrote about her recently, and for the article on Marcel·lí Massana too! It's really helpful to have images for people of the Spanish Civil War and resistance to the Francoist dictatorship, as they're so often unavailable on Wikipedia and Wikicommons. I have noticed that, while you're on the WikiProject Anarchism members list, you don't appear to have been very active on our noticeboard, which has recently seen an upsurge in activity. In case you haven't seen what we've been up to, here's an update of our most recent activity:

  • In the past couple years, we have brought four articles to Featured status, including the ones on Nestor Makhno, La Salute è in voi, The May Pamphlet and "The Day Before the Revolution". We're likely to get even more to this status in the near future, so stay tuned to the front page for some of our best articles on the platform.
  • A number of our most vital articles have been reviewed and achieved Good Article status, including ones on Gaetano Bresci, Camilo Cienfuegos, Joseph Déjacque, Luigi Galleani, Paul Goodman, and the Kronstadt rebellion. As these "vital articles" are generally considered among the most important on the platform, we aim to get as many as possible to GA and FA status over the coming years.
  • We recently hit the first milestone for our stub-expansion project, getting the number of stubs down to under 1/5th of our total articles. This means that the vast majority of our articles are now relatively substantial, as we expand and add greater detail to the articles that lack sufficient information. We hope to narrow this number down even further, so more articles have the information they deserve.
  • We just started a cleanup drive, in which we are aiming to resolve the problematic parts of our articles, from finding citations for unsourced sections to fixing up formatting errors. In doing this, we intend to make sure our articles provide the best possible reading experience, without unsourced claims or ugly tags littering the page.

If you'd like to be more closely involved in our collective efforts, consider adding our noticeboard to your watchlist or adding your name to our mailing list. We'd be very happy to see you more around the project.

All the best to you, whatever your future plans are. Regards, --Grnrchst (talk) 10:50, 13 May 2024 (UTC)

@Grnrchst: I appreciate the personalized check in. I'm probably not going to be active on the noticeboard. I'm most likely to contribute to the project by writing articles for women/non-binary anarchists (e.g. Soledad Rosas) or working on content related to anarcho-syndicalism. Let me know if you see any other articles that need images though. Thanks, gobonobo + c 01:05, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
That's a terrific goal and I look forward to seeing more from you in that area! Thanks for getting back. :) --Grnrchst (talk) 08:10, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
