WikiCup 2016 is just around the corner...

Hello everyone, and we would like to wish you all a happy holiday season. As you will probably already know, the 2016 WikiCup begins in the new year; there is still time to sign up. There are some changes we'd like to announce before the competition begins.

After two years of serving as WikiCup judge, User:Miyagawa has stepped down as judge. He deserves great thanks and recognition for his dedication and hard work, and for providing necessary transition for a new group of judges in last year's Cup. Joining Christine (User:Figureskatingfan) and Jason (User:Sturmvogel 66) is Andrew (User:Godot13), a very successful WikiCup competitor and expert in Featured Pictures; he won the two previous competitions. This is a strong judging team, and we anticipate lots of enjoyment and good work coming from our 2016 competitors.

We would also like to announce one change in how this year's WikiCup will be run. In the spirit of sportsmanship, Godot13 and Cwmhiraeth have chosen to limit their participation. See here for the announcement and a complete explanation of why. They and the judges feel that it will make for a more exciting, enjoyable, and productive competition.

The discussions/polls concerning the next competition's rules will be closed soon, and rules changes will be made clear on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring and talk pages. The judges are committed to not repeating the confusion that occurred last year and to ensuring that the new rules are both fair and in the best interests of the competition, which is, first and foremost, about improving Wikipedia.

If you have any questions or concerns, the judges can be reached on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, on their talk pages, or by email. We hope you will all join us in trying to make the 2015 WikiCup the most productive and enjoyable yet. You are receiving this message because you are listed on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send. Sturmvogel 66 (talk), Figureskatingfan (talk), and Godot13 (talk).--MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 06:46, 22 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Season's Greetings

 Wishing you a Charlie Brown
Charlie Russell Christmas! 🎄
Best wishes for your Christmas
Is all you get from me
'Cause I ain't no Santa Claus
Don't own no Christmas tree.
But if wishes was health and money
I'd fill your buck-skin poke
Your doctor would go hungry
An' you never would be broke."

Help decide the future of Wikimania

The Wikimedia Foundation is currently running a consultation on the value and planning process of Wikimania, and is open until 18 January 2016. The goals are to (1) build a shared understanding of the value of Wikimania to help guide conference planning and evaluation, and (2) gather broad community input on what new form(s) Wikimania could take (starting in 2018).

After reviewing the consultation, we'd like to hear your feedback on on this survey.

In addition, feel free to share any personal experiences you have had at at a Wikimedia movement conference, including Wikimania. We plan to compile and share back outcomes from this consultation in February.

With thanks,

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Asian American Artists Collective Chicago, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Emily Chang (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.

Decline

At least give the community the courtesy of your opinion as to why you would decline a case of an admin abusing his position, making involved blocks, telling others to fuck off &c. Your trite "decline" speaks volumes about how seriously you take this role at Arbcom. Thanks. The Rambling Man (talk) 21:31, 17 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Despite your request being unnecessarily rude, I've done so. Keilana (talk) 00:24, 18 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

WP:Women Scientists

Is there some place that new articles are listed? In case someone want's to DYK them or something? Today I wrote Arlette Leroi-Gourhan and yesterday Henriette Alimen. --kelapstick(bainuu) 22:06, 21 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

And now Silvia Zenari, I better be careful I don't get kicked off the committee for actually writing. --kelapstick(bainuu) 05:00, 22 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Kelapstick: That's awesome!!! We don't really have a place to list new articles per se but you could put a note on WT:WOMSCI. YAY! Keilana (talk) 06:30, 22 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
If you have access to Women of Science: Righting the Record, the Esther Applin career section could use some expansion (particularly around her time with the USGS).

@Kelapstick and Opabinia regalis: You both are kicking my ass...I was in surgeries all day for a couple days and had no internet access so I'm just now catching up!

Surgeries? I hope you mean observing them and not having them, but if the latter, hoping for a quick recovery! Opabinia regalis (talk) 17:30, 25 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Fortunately, observing! It's a lot better watching the giving end rather than being on the receiving end. Keilana (talk) 19:39, 25 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
When I first read that I thought it said "sugaries", which I presumed was a place one got sugar. That would be much better than observing a surgery. --kelapstick(on the run) 21:04, 25 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
