Rasmussen Reports

Please take a look at Rasmussen Reports. I think I made some improvements to major issues. Thoughts? Have to run now but wanted to put this on your radar because some of the content I removed seemed rather blatantly problematic to me...Marquardtika (talk) 15:36, 11 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Marquardtika - I agree your edits were major improvements, though they were all quickly undone! It seems this has been in a rather abysmal state for awhile now. I'd suggest we just leave it alone and let the discussion ride for 30 days until some sort-of consensus is reached and then move from there. Each edit may require a discussion so this will probably take awhile to see improvement and I doubt it will ever be stable enough to be GA. Chetsford (talk) 05:18, 12 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your thoughts. I'll see how discussion plays out. Cheers to the weekend, whatever that even means anymore! Marquardtika (talk) 18:15, 12 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Marquardtika - since it's been just about 30 days now, I've logged a request to have the discussion closed at WP:RFCLOSE. Chetsford (talk) 21:17, 7 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! Marquardtika (talk) 01:49, 8 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Irene Triplett

On 13 June 2020, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Irene Triplett, which you recently nominated. The fact was ... that Irene Triplett, who died in May 2020, was the last recipient of a pension from the American Civil War of 1861–1865? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Irene Triplett. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000.

Citation needed on those flying monkey accounts

Over at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Erica C. Barnett (2nd nomination), if you have a moment could you post links to which participants at the previous discussion, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Erica C. Barnett, were SPAs that were blocked as sockpuppets, meatpuppets, COI editors, or otherwise illegitimate in some way? I can't identify which !votes you're referring to.

New Page Reviewer newsletter June 2020

Hello Chetsford,

Your help can make a difference

NPP Sorting can be a great way to find pages needing new page patrolling that match your strengths and interests. Using ORES, it divides articles into topics such as Literature or Chemistry and on Geography. Take a look and see if you can find time to patrol a couple pages a day. With over 10,000 pages in the queue, the highest it's been since ACPERM, your help could really make a difference.

Google Adds New Languages to Google Translate

In late February, Google added 5 new languages to Google Translate: Kinyarwanda, Odia (Oriya), Tatar, Turkmen and Uyghur. This expands our ability to find and evaluate sources in those languages.

Discussions and Resources

A discussion on handling new article creation by paid editors is ongoing at the Village Pump.
Also at the Village Pump is a discussion about limiting participation at Articles for Deletion discussion.
A proposed new speedy deletion criteria for certain kinds of redirects ended with no consensus.
Also ending with no change was a proposal to change how we handle certain kinds of vector images.

Iteris

Hi again, Chetsford! I hope you're doing well and staying safe. I really do try not to ask the same editors for help with article update requests, but in this case, I pinged you because of your previous help. I've tried to make the review process as easy as possible by outlining specific changes and providing updated markup in user space to make copying and pasting of the entire page possible (I remember you've requested this format before), but also understand if you're unable to review at this time. Do you have a moment to take a look, or shall I try reaching out to a relevant WikiProject? Thanks! Inkian Jason (talk) 17:03, 30 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Inkian Jason, that's no problem at all. I'll look right now. Chetsford (talk) 17:55, 3 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much for your help. Inkian Jason (talk) 14:17, 7 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Guideline and policy news

A request for comment is in progress to remove the T2 (template that misrepresents established policy) speedy deletion criterion.

Technical news

Protection templates on mainspace pages are now automatically added by User:MusikBot II (BRFA).

Arbitration

Following the banning of an editor by the WMF last year, the Arbitration Committee resolved to hold an RfC regarding on-wiki harassment. The RfC has been posted at Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Anti-harassment RfC and is open to comments from the community.
The Medicine case was closed, with a remedy authorizing standard discretionary sanctions for all discussions about pharmaceutical drug prices and pricing and for edits adding, changing, or removing pharmaceutical drug prices or pricing from articles.

Polygon

I've never brought a source to Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard but I wanted to know if it was possible for two editors to do that together and if you would interested. We disagree on if Polygon is a reliable source so I thought putting it on the noticeboard with both views would be a good starting point in creating discussion. This is the only previous discussion on Polygon which references that Polygon is considered reliable at Wikipedia:WikiProject Video games/Sources. But that didn't get it added to the RS list like other Vox Media properties (Vox, Recode, & The Verge). The noticeboard calls for article & content examples and I'm a little busy right now so ideally this is something we could work on later this month. Let me know what you think. Sariel Xilo (talk) 20:14, 6 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sure that'd be fine. Just to clarify, I think Polygon is perfectly RS for coverage of games, I just don't think it's RS for topics unrelated to games like crime reporting, medical news, economics trends and analysis, French elections, etc. Chetsford (talk) 15:19, 7 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This is where I fundamentally disagree. I think that media outlets that cover niche topics (to the extent we can call the multi-billion dollar gaming industry niche) can reliably report on people in the industry even when that reporting is on crimes or allegations of crimes by people in the industry. I would go a step further and say this kind of reporting in the wake of the MeToo movement is vital to the health of these niche communities because reporters are doing their jobs of holding industry accountable for the actions people in it take. For example, Kotaku has done some amazing coverage on this issue in video games 1 2. That kind of reporting could only be done by a niche outlet who had built up relationships of trust & a good reputation in their industry. So Polygon (which is held to same editorial standards as the other Vox Media properties & articles are cross-shared across these properties) is a reliable source on allegations of harassment in the gaming sphere. I would say this Polygon article is a RS on the pervasive nature of harassment in the industry and should be referenced wherever the specific cases are mentioned on Wikipedia. Sariel Xilo (talk) 23:22, 7 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

"This is where I fundamentally disagree." Then there's no point in bringing something to RSN jointly. Chetsford (talk) 05:38, 8 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Just Curious

Hello Chetsford, I was wondering, is it possible for an admin to grant page mover to an editor who really needs it without reaching the time threshold? Megan Barris (Lets talk📧) 21:03, 7 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Synoman Barris - anything's possible! I'd be happy to add that as a permission to anyone if they really needed it but didn't quite meet criteria 1, 2 or 4 of WP:PAGEMOVER guidelines. Failure to meet criteria 3 might be a little trickier. Chetsford (talk) 21:08, 7 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Chetsford, I have moved many pages, mostly to draft space and sometimes fixing headers. It’s annoying to leave redirects which I have to tag for R2 deletion again Megan Barris (Lets talk📧) 21:11, 7 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Chetsford, Fastily tries but it would actually be easier with the flag Megan Barris (Lets talk📧) 21:13, 7 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Synoman Barris - you appear to meet all the criteria. Can you just log a request at WP:PERM/PM and I'll add that permission to your rights? Chetsford (talk) 21:16, 7 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Chetsford, I have made the request. Thanks Megan Barris (Lets talk📧) 21:22, 7 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Chetsford, Thank you, I hope my tasks will now be more easier. Megan Barris (Lets talk📧) 21:25, 7 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
