Invitation to the April Wikification Drive

Hi there! I thought you might be interested in WikiProject Wikify's April Wikification Backlog Elimination Drive. We'll be trying to reduce the backlog size by over 1,300 articles and we need your help! Hard-working participants in the drive will receive awards for their contributions, including a brand new one for the single largest wikified article! All you have to do is put an asterisk next to the largest article you've wikified, and coordinators will check its wordcount after the drive ends. If you have a spare moment, please join and wikify an article or tell your friends. Thanks!

Note: The drive started April 1, and you can sign up anytime!

test

test Around "the first gun scene" a masked gunman threw a canister emitting smoke which served to partially obscure the audience's sight. The gunman "calmy" produced a rifle and aimed shots at audience members "steadily", only stopping to reload his weapon.^[1]

Some bullets penetrated the wall of the cinema and injured people in the adjoining Theater 8, where the same film was being screened.^[2]

Upon leaving, audience member Eric Hunter saw the gunman advancing toward the exit. Hunter blocked his progress by holding the exit shut while the attacker pounded the other side of the door.^[1]

Phablet

FYI: In anticipation of your April 2012 plan to create an article on Phablets, I just changed the redirect you created, pointing it to a section in the Tablet computer article instead of the Tablet (disambiguation) page it was pointing to before. 67.101.5.248 (talk) 20:15, 3 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Okay. Maybe I'll go ahead and create that article today before I forget. Marcus Qwertyus (talk) 04:42, 4 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

City of New Orleans

Unless I missed something City of New Orleans wasn't covered by the discussion at Talk:City of Los Angeles, and I don't think it should have been moved. If someone specifically looks for "City of New Orleans," they're probably looking for either the song or the train that inspired it. Mackensen (talk) 21:09, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No, City of New Orleans was not covered by the discussion, but is there any reason to believe this situation is unique? Marcus Qwertyus (talk) 08:39, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, for the reasons I listed. Anyone who types in City of New Orleans is not looking for the city of New Orleans. They're looking for the song or the train. That wouldn't be the case with "City of St. Louis" or "City of Denver." If it had been listed with the others it would have generated dissent. It's in a different category. Could you please revert your move? Mackensen (talk) 14:12, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That wouldn't be the case with "City of St. Louis" or "City of Denver" still does not answer my question. Marcus Qwertyus (talk) 14:24, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You asked why the situation might be unique. I pointed out that it's not clear what the primary topic for "City of New Orleans" is, given the existence of the folk song. So, yes, the situation is different. There are no popular folk songs named City of St. Louis nor City of Denver. I've now pointed this out three times; what else do you need? Mackensen (talk) 14:42, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

So the train is not the primary topic? Marcus Qwertyus (talk) 14:48, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I think it probably is, since the song is about the train. It's definitely not "New Orleans." It should not have been moved. Mackensen (talk) 14:56, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

And by extension, the train is named after the city, so the city is the primary topic. Marcus Qwertyus (talk) 15:00, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You may be right. I welcome you to request such a move and get consensus for it. In the meantime I've reverted your move since it wasn't covered by the move request. Please don't do that again. Mackensen (talk) 15:18, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

And you broke a crapload of redirects with these changes. I can see several train articles where the link to City of San Francisco alone now links to the wrong article. If you're going to change the target of a link, please go through other articles to fix what you broke. Otherwise you are causing disruption by having to have several others fix your mess. Note that California Zephyr alone has 3 or 4 broken links now. Dave (talk) 14:08, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia Takes St Louis photo event

I'd like to encourage you to start a St Louis page with Wikipedia:Wikipedia Takes America#Event page wizard. Or you can do the same at the regular St Louis meetup page if you like.--Pharos (talk) 01:46, 12 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Well, if you say so. WP:Wikipedia Takes St. Louis. Marcus Qwertyus (talk) 11:56, 12 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I thought it looked really good unitl I realized which Basilica you meant. Do you actually have pre-designated routes of photographic interest? Do they include relevant bus schedules because the Mississippi is really, really far from the Loop in my mind. Not that I have ever ridden a bus in St. Louis, but I always use public transport when I am actually a tourist and it is always better than expected. If we are driving we will spend as much time parking and walking to and from closest parking as anything else, and that is assuming people don't get lost driving to place they know how to get to only from other directions.. If we were bigger and more sure of the turnout I would volunteer to ferry groups between designated points without needing to park, as I am not much of a photographer. But I don't think that would be useful with only a few groups. I just think that is a huge distance to cover for only a small number of groups.

If we started at the other Basillica and hit the numerous things around there and Forest Park and went through to the Loop. That would be a very full day to my mind. We can do Downtown another year. The larger idea could be done, but it would take alot more work. I am just not sure we will have the turnout to make good use of the larger idea. Those are my thoughts anyway, and I certainly could be wrong. So don't let this discourage you if you are actually finding the idea of taking on all the planning work to be motivating. It would be a chore for me and this makes a great difference--BirgitteSB 16:38, 12 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject Wikify and the future of wikification
