WikiCup 2015 launch newsletter

Round one of the 2015 WikiCup has begun! So far we've had around 80 signups, which close on February 5. If you have not already signed up and want to do so, then you can add your name here. There have been changes to to several of the points scores for various categories, and the addition of Peer Reviews for the first time. These will work in the same manner as Good Article Reviews, and all of the changes are summarised here.

Remember that only the top 64 scoring competitors will make it through to the second round, and one of the new changes this year is that all scores must be claimed within two weeks of an article's promotion or appearance, so don't forget to add them to your submissions pages! If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAN, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages. Good luck!

January - 2015

The recent personal attacks and long term violation of copyright is impossible to justify. I have brought it to ANI now, look Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Overall disruptive user. Bladesmulti (talk) 16:15, 5 January 2015 (UTC)

There is a problem. Do you got a minute to solve it ?

The problem is this page, American Cinema Editors Awards 2013. There is no page as such. I tried to create one, but it's redirecting itself to American Cinema Editors. However, that should not be the case. Please can you stop this redirection, So that I can create a page like American Cinema Editors Awards 2011. CAN YOU HELP ME ?? DtwipzBTalk 15:02, 6 January 2015 (UTC)

@Dibyendutwipzbiswas: I'm glad I get to tell you this! I figured this out for myself after an immense amount of time trying to figure it out, but it's much easier than it may seem. When you get a redirect, you'll see the name of the redirect page under the real page name. For instance, click the link: American Cinema Editors Awards 2013. You'll find yourself on the redirected page, and you can try this. In this case, it shows "(Redirected from American Cinema Editors Awards 2013)". If you click that blue link (not on the talk page, but on the American Cinema Editors page), you'll be led to this page, which you can edit to change it from being a redirect. It took me quite awhile to figure out how to do this, don't worry. That was kind of difficult to word, so tell me if I said anything confusing! Sock (tock talk) 15:06, 6 January 2015 (UTC)

Got your point. So all I have to do is remove the redirection from this pageand make my own edits. Right?? DtwipzBTalk 15:11, 6 January 2015 (UTC)

@Dibyendutwipzbiswas: Yes sir! Just hit the edit button and have at it! Sock (tock talk) 15:12, 6 January 2015 (UTC)

Thanks a lot, man. I was really lost there. Happy Editing!! DtwipzBTalk 15:15, 6 January 2015 (UTC)

I love your username

And the nice photo of you on your userpage. I noticed because before my morning coffee, and with the sun shining in my eyes I thought one of your edits on my watchlist was mine. I'm glad I clicked through. Nice to meet you. —Soap— 14:24, 7 January 2015 (UTC)

@Soap: Right back at you! I've done the same thing with some of your edits before as well, haha. I've seen you around a little bit, but I seldom leave "hello" messages on talk pages because most people ignore them, in my experience. Pleasure to meet you as well!

Pulped

Hey there Sock.

Thanks for taking care of the Pulp Fiction page.

I'm not sure why you removed the link to the wavecat playlist - after all that seems to be the only complete copy of that movie's soundtrack (there's an incomplete one on YouTube and several lesser ones scattered around @ SoundCloud, Spotify & more on YT).

I'm not a total noob, (I hope) - but maybe misunderstand the reason why a resource which seems perfectly relevant to me is removed. Help me to understand your edit, please.

Perhaps there's a better or more appropriate way of submitting the link?

Please accept my fully prostrated quirkafleeg, (in advance) for your kind advice: _o_

HKgamer (talk) 01:33, 8 January 2015 (UTC)

@HKgamer: Thank you for coming here to discuss it with me! Basically, that link serves as an extraneous bit that isn't really relevant to the article. If someone wants to find the soundtrack listing, they can do that simply by Googling. If you look at album and soundtrack pages, we don't link to places to buy it, we link to databases like AllMusic. In the case of films, it's places like IMDb, or maybe Metacritic and Rotten Tomatoes for those who want to look at reviews. I know you were acting in good faith, and I appreciate your effort to help! However, I think the link included was unnecessary for an encyclopedia. Thanks! Sock (tock talk) 01:38, 8 January 2015 (UTC)

Okay :-) - I get most of that (ofc) & thanks for disambiguating.

But wave.cat isn't selling music, though & though a soundtrack listing is integral to the index of that page, none of the pages that you suggest as appropriate actually contain the music.

Surely wave.cat's list, as an online repository of the actual recordings is relevant?

Kinda like the actual sound of music might be more relevant in the experience of that movie, rather than it's title alone, The Sound of Music, maybe?

/me is 'stretching a metaphor...'

Birdman accolades

When I was editing the article, by editing I mean I was adding awards from here. In between that you made a edit, which in turn made my edits disappear because I didn't save them. I lost my hours of work in there. I'm not blaming anyone but myself for that.

All I am asking can you please add the awards that aren't there on the pages. I'm having a exam tomorrow, otherwise I wouldn't mind to do it. Can you please do this? DtwipzBTalk 15:41, 8 January 2015 (UTC)

@Dibyendutwipzbiswas: I know that feeling, trust me. You just have to make sure that you copy your revision from the lower area and save it somewhere, like on a subpage or in a text file.

The problem with adding everything from IMDb is that much of it isn't notable. That's why I removed the Black Film Critics Circle and the North Carolina Film Critics Association. Honestly, a lot of the awards that are still there aren't notable. But the bare minimum for inclusion in an accolades list is that the ceremony have an article on Wikipedia. I'm not encouraging that you make a bunch of stubs for awards and associations, they have to meet the notability guideline. Especially recently, people are making stubs exclusively to add awards to accolades sections, and that's not how it should be done. I'll go through and add whatever meets that minimum requirement, but I won't add anything without an article to start. I'll have to do this tonight, though. Sock (tock talk) 16:12, 8 January 2015 (UTC)

OK. DtwipzBTalk 16:19, 8 January 2015 (UTC)

About that 'notable' thing. May I add "Village Voice Film Poll", "Santa Barbara International Film Festival". "Palm Springs International Film Festival", "Hollywood Music In Media Awards", "Camerimage". DtwipzBTalk 13:48, 9 January 2015 (UTC)

@Dibyendutwipzbiswas: Seeing as Village Voice is a newspaper and does not have an actual awards event (like the National Board of Review), I'd say no to that one. Santa Barbara and Palm Springs are both perfectly fine. Hollywood Music in Media Awards doesn't have an article and doesn't appear to have any coverage outside of reporting the awards that they give, so I'd say that fails WP:N in my opinion. Camerimage is definitely fine. Sock (tock talk) 13:51, 9 January 2015 (UTC)

So, "Santa Barbara", "Palm Springs", and "Camerimage" made the final cut !! I am adding these up. DtwipzBTalk 14:22, 9 January 2015 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

Foxcatcher

Further to your edit of Foxcatcher, if Miller is co-producer maybe the Infobox marking him as producer needs to be changed too? I don't know, but I figure you do so change it or don't, I leave to you. -- 109.78.108.156 (talk) 05:13, 12 January 2015 (UTC)

@109.78.108.156: I think you misinterpreted my edit. Miller is a producer of the film, but the lead said he co-produced (likely because other people produced it as well). That isn't correct, so I dropped the "co-" from it. Does that make sense? Sock (tock talk) 11:46, 12 January 2015 (UTC)

Birdman

I wanted to create a Year-End list for Birdman like Boyhood and Snowpiercer. But the problem is there is way too many publishers, articles and writers to include. So, I am asking is there any way you could help me to figure out which publishers and writers to include in here ??

I started a draft. DtwipzBTalk 11:45, 14 January 2015 (UTC)

Glee (season 6)

Hello, there is a current ongoing discussion revolving around the style of crediting writers for the TV series Glee, over on the talk page. I thought you may be interested in voicing your opinion. Thank you and cheers, LLArrow (talk) 07:58, 15 January 2015 (UTC)

Plot for https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inside_Llewyn_Davis

Hi, I made the edit to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inside_Llewyn_Davis to add that he was beaten at the start of the film (I forgot to login so I think it shows as an anon edit).

I don't understand why you reverted my edit, in hindsight the chronology in the movie (as a standalone piece of work) is perhaps open to interpretation, but this interpretation is not discussed at all in the article (only in the talk page) and or in the movie. As description of the movie plot, it seems an error to leave this out and makes the wikipedia page appear to be inaccurate.

Would love to hear your opinion on this.
