== Alt text == |
|||
'''[[WP:ALT]]''' The purpose of alt text is to stand in for an image. Consequently, "Cover of ''x'' album" is unacceptable alt text, because this doesn't tell me what I'm missing. "[[A Love Supreme|A blue-tinted black-and-white photograph of Coltrane's face looking to the left, with the logo "A Love Supreme/John Coltrane" written in white bold Arial across the top.]]" is useful, on the other hand. Does that make sense? —[[User:Koavf|Justin (<span style="color:grey">ko'''a'''vf</span>)]]<span style="color:red">❤[[User talk:Koavf|T]]☮[[Special:Contributions/Koavf|C]]☺[[Special:Emailuser/Koavf|M]]☯</span> 18:58, 14 May 2012 (UTC) |

== Please help. The John Austin (songwriter) page should not have been deleted. == |
|||
The following article should not have been deleted: |
|||
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/John_Austin_%28songwriter%29 |
|||
All of the information contained in the article "John Austin (songwriter)" is factual. John Austin meets the notability requirements, having worked with many artists of notability, and having released publicly documented works for over 20 years. Paste Magazine has written feature articles on John Austin, and JA's album "Busted at the Pearly Gates" received an honorable mention in Paste Magazine as one of the most important albums of 2002. Please contact Paste Magazine's editor-in-chief Josh Jackson to verify. |
|||
Please put the article John Austin (songwriter) back up on Wikipedia. Thank you. |

This article was deleted because the administrators overlooked 3rd party reliable sources that were better actually than the administrator's research seemed to show. |

Additional online references will be cited to support the notability of songwriter John Austin. |

The WikiProject Report would like to focus on WikiProject Punk Music for a ''Signpost'' article. This is an excellent opportunity to draw attention to your efforts and attract new members to the project. Would you be willing to participate in an interview? If so, '''[[Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/Newsroom/WikiProject desk/Interviews|here are the questions for the interview]]'''. Just add your response below each question and feel free to skip any questions that you don't feel comfortable answering. Multiple editors will have an opportunity to respond to the interview questions, so be sure to sign your answers. If you know anyone else who would like to participate in the interview, please share this with them. Have a great day. -[[User:Mabeenot|Mabeenot]] ([[User talk:Mabeenot|talk]]) 02:17, 31 May 2012 (UTC) |

== WikiCup 2012 May newsletter == |
|||
[[File:Trophy.png|right]] |
|||
We're halfway through round 3 (or the quarter finals, if you prefer) and things are running smoothly. We're seeing very high scoring; as of the time of writing, the top 16 all have over 90 points. This has already proved to be more competative than this time last year- in 2011, 76 points secured a place, while in 2010, a massive 250 was the lowest qualifying score. People have also upped their game slightly from last round, which is to be expected as we approach the end of the competition. Leading Pool A is {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Cwmhiraeth}}, whose points have mostly come from a large number of did you knows on marine biology. Pool B's leader, {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Grapple X}}, is for the first time not our highest scorer at the time of newsletter publication, but his good articles on ''The X-Files'' and ''Millenium'' keep him in second place overall. {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Miyagawa}} leads Pool C, our quietest pool, with content in a variety of areas on a variety of topics. Pool D is led by {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Casliber}}, our current overall leader. Nearly half of Casliber's points come from his triple-scored [[Western Jackdaw]], which is now a featured article. |
|||
This round has seen an unusually high number of featured lists, with nearly one in five remaining participants claiming one, and one user, {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Muboshgu}}, claiming two. Miyagawa's featured list, [[1936 Summer Olympics medal table]], was even awarded double points. By comparison, good article reviews seem to be playing a smaller part, and featured topics portals remain two content-types still unutilised in this competition. Other than that, there isn't much to say! Things are coming along smoothly. As ever, if you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on [[Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews]]. Questions are welcome on [[Wikipedia talk:WikiCup]], and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email.

== [[Template:Anticon]] == |
|||
Hi J04n, As one of the parties involved in this issue, I am slightly surprised by some of your actions. There seems to be a quite experienced Wikipedia editor using revolving anonymous IPs to create and edit this template (so much so that some might regard it as trolling). I had responded by reporting one of the IPs for edit warring [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Edit_warring#User:114.164.142.128_reported_by_User:Memphisto_.28Result:_.29] and had also requested temporary semi-protection for the article. |
|||
As a consensus already exists as to the inclusion of non-links (Unlinked text) in templates [[Wikipedia:Navigation templates]] which I fully explained on the talk page, I commented that I considered adding the non-links back to the template would be vandalism, and so I reverted this users edits from that point. |
|||
I'm glad that calm has now returned to the template, but I don't really know how else I could respond to a determined anonymous IP who wants to enforce his point of view while ignoring all the comments of the other editors involved? [[User talk:Memphisto|memphisto]] 15:01, 1 June 2012 (UTC) |
|||
As an update, User:118.8.2.54 has now been temporarily banned after reporting me for edit warring on [[Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring]]. [[User talk:Memphisto|memphisto]] 10:45, 2 June 2012 (UTC) |
|||
:I'm sorry that you took issue with the way I handled this situation. Let me explain my thinking: The IP was acting emotionally, I hoped that protecting the template from editing by anyone would calm him down and a constructive conversation would take place. He is very much a newbie, he took the time to learn how to make a navbox, my goal was that he would calm down and become a productive long-term editor. Again, I'm sorry if you took offense, it was not my intention. <font face="Century Gothic">[[User:J04n|J04n]]([[User talk:J04n|talk page]])</font> 12:30, 2 June 2012 (UTC) |
|||
Thanks for the reply J04n. I'm very unsure about the newbie bit - can a newbie create a complete navbox as their first Wikipedia edit, quote Wikipedia policies on the fly and have no difficulty reporting me for edit warring (I however ballsed up the form on multiple occasions when reporting one of their IPs!). Due to the fact that they had ignored all the advice that had been given by other editors, I had hoped that if my request for temporary semi-protection had been approved it would have encouraged the user to register an account, and we could have progressed from there. [[User talk:Memphisto|memphisto]] 13:13, 2 June 2012 (UTC) |
|||
== More [[Template:Anticon]] == |
|||
Thanks for protecting [[Template:Anticon]]. The IP uses different IP ranges, and while I do try to [[WP:AGF]], they seems to know enough to game the system (even seems to intentionally switch IPs after three reverts to avoid [[WP:3RR]], but maybe it's my paranoia). We have very similar issues at [[Genghis Tron]] and most likely [[Sole and the Skyrider Band]], can you please protect them too, maybe temporarily? [[WP:RFP]] was also made for the former. --[[User:Muhandes|Muhandes]] ([[User talk:Muhandes|talk]]) 19:23, 6 June 2012 (UTC) |

''Apologies for the lateness of this letter; our usual bot wasn't working.'' We are now entering round 4, our semi-finals, and have our final 16. A score of 243 was required to reach this round; significantly more than 2011's 76 points, and only a little behind 2010's 250 points. By comparison, last year, 150 points in round 4 secured a place in the final; in 2010, 430 were needed. Commiserations to Pool A's {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Igordebraga}}, who scored 242 points, missing out on a place in the round by a whisker. However, congratulations to Pool B's {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Grapple X}}, whose television articles have brought him another round victory. Pool A's {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Cwmhiraeth}} came second overall, with an impressive list of biological did you knows, good articles and featured articles. Third overall was Pool D's {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Muboshgu}}, with a long list of contibutions, mostly relating to baseball. Of course, with the points resetting every round, the playing field has been levelled. The most successful Pool was Pool D, which saw seven into the final round. Pool B saw four, C saw three and Pool A saw only the two round leaders. |

A quick note about other competitions taking place on Wikipedia which may be of interest. There are 13 days remaining in the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/GAN backlog elimination drives/June-July 2012|June-July GAN backlog elimination drive]], but it is not too late to take part. August will also see the return of [[Wikipedia:The Core Contest|The Core Contest]]- a one month long competition first run in 2007. While the WikiCup awards points for audited content on any subject, The Core Contest about is raw article improvement, focussing heavily on the most important articles on Wikipedia.

Hey J04n, I just wondered if you could take a look at a new article I'm in the process of having approved. It's on concert promoters DiCesare Engler. It's in my [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Florication22/sandbox&action=edit&preload=Template%3AUser_sandbox%2Fpreload&editintro=Template%3AUser_sandbox sandbox].

== Credo Reference Update & Survey (your opinion requested) == |
|||
[[Credo Reference]], who generously [[WP:CREDO|donated 400 free Credo 250 research accounts]] to Wikipedia editors over the past two years, has offered to expand the program to include 100 additional reference resources. Credo wants Wikipedia editors to select which resources they want most. So, we put together a quick survey to do that: |
|||
* Link to Survey (should take between 5-10 minutes): [http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/N8FQ6MM http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/N8FQ6MM] |
|||
It also asks some basic questions about what you like about the Credo program and what you might want to improve. |
|||
At this time only the initial 400 editors have accounts, but even if you do not have an account, you still might want to weigh in on which resources would be most valuable for the community (for example, through [[WP:RESOURCE|WikiProject Resource Exchange]]). |
|||
Also, if you have an account but no longer want to use it, please leave me a note so another editor can take your spot. |
|||
If you have any other questions or comments, drop by my talk page or email me at wikiocaasi@yahoo.com. Cheers! [[User:Ocaasi|Ocaasi]]<sup> [[User talk:Ocaasi|t ]]|[[Special:Contributions/Ocaasi| c]]</sup> 17:20, 11 July 2012 (UTC) |
