Growth team updates #1

Welcome to the first newsletter for the new Growth team!  

The Growth Team's objective is to work on software changes that help retain new contributors in mid-size Wikimedia projects. We will be starting with Wikipedias, but we hope these changes will benefit every community.

8 ideas we consider: tell us what you think about them!

We are considering new features to build, that could retain new editors in mid-size Wikipedias. We will be testing new ideas in Czech and Korean Wikipedias, and then we'll talk to more communities (yours!) about adopting the ideas that work well.

We have posted the 8 ideas we are considering. We would really appreciate your thoughts and the thoughts from your community. Please share the ideas, and tell us what do you and your community think of those ideas before September 9.

Share your experiences with newcomers

We want to hear about what is working and what is not working for new contributors in your wiki. We also want to hear any reactions, questions, or opinions on our work. Please post on the team’s talk page, in any language!

Learn more about us

You can visit our team page to find out why our team was formed and how we are thinking about new editors, and our project page for detailed updates on the first project we'll work on.

UCLAgirl623, hey, thanks for sending me an email, I appreciate it. I hope you don't mind if I reply here instead, since it doesn't seem to be a particularly sensitive matter.
For the article Pixar Pal-A-Round, I would suggest expanding the "description" section a little. I'd also add some information about the early history, and if possible, any special features of the wheel. You should only add information with reliable sources, though. When you're finished, you could check the article over, both to resolve any grammar errors and to make sure that the text is presented with a neutral point of view (e.g. no advertising). Hope that helps. epicgenius (talk) 01:46, 2 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
UCLAgirl623, in regards to reliable sources, you may want to replace city-data.com. It is now a blacklisted source due to being unreliable. You may want to look into whether there are also any third-party sources (i.e. not amusement park-related). epicgenius (talk) 13:35, 7 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sea Gate Police

Why did someone take down the Sea Gate Police patch and description of the dept? The officers of that dept take pride in their work and community! Yet always downplayed of their status and importance!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Allmighty1911 (talk • contribs) 02:37, 2 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Allmighty1911, you may be better off asking Drmies who redirected the Sea Gate Police Department article. epicgenius (talk) 03:06, 2 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks Epicgenius. Allmighty, it's a tiny organization with a dozen people working for it. Please see WP:CORP for notability guidelines. Drmies (talk) 03:09, 2 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for looking at Fostoria Glass Company. I'm at work right now, but will be at home tomorrow and can address your findings then. Other than reverting some uncited additions, I have not really looked at this much since last June—but I will refocus. Thanks again, TwoScars (talk) 21:41, 2 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Kingsbridge Road (NYWB) Article

Hello, how's it going?

I was wondering if you would be able to assist me in creating page articles for still standing abandoned NYW&B railway stations? The first one on the project is Kingsbridge Road, and I would be grateful if you could take a look at it/edit it and gave me your opinion on it, the page article is in my sandbox page. Thanks!

FlushingLocal, Hey. I think DanTD or Kew Gardens 613 may know more about that particular station. Generally, the article is all right so far, but needs more reliable sources. epicgenius (talk) 01:13, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
