Protected images
Hi, hope you're well. After your excellent work in scaling main page images consistently, could you look at applying the same scaling to the protected queue at Wikipedia:Main Page/Commons media protection? This would give a better idea of how the images will look on the MP, especially for non-portraits. It currently just displays as 100x100. Thanks in advance, Stephen 02:15, 13 October 2020 (UTC)
- Stephen, something like this seems like too much work for admins. But, if you think it is worth it, that is one implementation that works. --- C&C (Coffeeandcrumbs) 05:10, 15 October 2020 (UTC)
Invitation to WikiProject Current Events
Hello. I wanted to invite you to the Current Event WikiProject for the edits you have done on Wikipedia:In the news/Candidates and other articles in the WikiProject's scope. Most editors aren't aware that the project became active again in April 2020. Just wanted to invite you and hope you consider joining. (Current Event WikiProject Coordinator) Elijahandskip (talk) 17:59, 21 October 2020 (UTC)
Notice
Hi, Coffeeandcrumbs! Just to inform you that there is an ongoing discussion in Talk:Luis Arce on whether the article can be improved adding the hypocorism "Lucho" to the lead (and if affirmative, how it should be included). Because I read somewhere that pinging someone with a "red" userpage does not always work. Regards.--Asqueladd (talk) 13:36, 23 October 2020 (UTC)
Friendly note
Hello C&C, I thought with your interest in Patrick Healy, you might also bee interested in his predecessor, John Early, whose FAC has sadly gotten little attention. If you have a spare moment and care to leave some comments, that'd be appreciated as always. If your attention is preoccupied elsewhere, I understand completely. Ergo Sum 05:16, 25 October 2020 (UTC)

About the error report: I went with "U.S." because, for those people who just flew in from Mars and don't understand, "American" is in the second sentence. (Also, the style guides generally prefer "U.S." when it's used as an adjective in the sense of "federal".) But it wouldn't bother me at all if someone wants to change it to "United States"; it's not a burning issue. - Dank (push to talk) 00:08, 3 November 2020 (UTC)

Discogs
Hi. Thanks for your comment. Is there a discussion where Discogs has been found to be unreliable? I've found it to be one of the best sites covering older music of the 1940s and 1950s. Is there another site covering older music that you think would be a good substitute? Cbl62 (talk) 13:41, 17 November 2020 (UTC)
- Is it due to the crowdsourcing of content? Cbl62 (talk) 13:47, 17 November 2020 (UTC)
- Cbl62, Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources:
The content on Discogs is user-generated, and is therefore generally unreliable. There was consensus against deprecating Discogs in a 2019 RfC, as editors noted that external links to the site may be appropriate.
~~ CAPTAIN MEDUSAtalk 13:47, 17 November 2020 (UTC) - Yes. See: WP:RSP#Discogs. --- C&C (Coffeeandcrumbs) 13:50, 17 November 2020 (UTC)

New Page Patrol December Newsletter
Hello Coffeeandcrumbs,
- Year in review
It has been a productive year for New Page Patrol as we've roughly cut the size of the New Page Patrol queue in half this year. We have been fortunate to have a lot of great work done by Rosguill who was the reviewer of the most pages and redirects this past year. Thanks and credit go to JTtheOG and Onel5969 who join Rosguill in repeating in the top 10 from last year. Thanks to John B123, Hughesdarren, and Mccapra who all got the NPR permission this year and joined the top 10. Also new to the top ten is DannyS712 bot III, programmed by DannyS712 which has helped to dramatically reduce the number of redirects that have needed human patrolling by patrolling certain types of redirects (e.g. for differences in accents) and by also patrolling editors who are on on the redirect whitelist.

- Reviewer of the Year
John B123 has been named reviewer of the year for 2020. John has held the permission for just over 6 months and in that time has helped cut into the queue by reviewing more than 18,000 articles. His talk page shows his efforts to communicate with users, upholding NPP's goal of nurturing new users and quality over quantity.
- NPP Technical Achievement Award
As a special recognition and thank you DannyS712 has been awarded the first NPP Technical Achievement Award. His work programming the bot has helped us patrol redirects tremendously - more than 60,000 redirects this past year. This has been a large contribution to New Page Patrol and definitely is worthy of recognition.

Explanatory supplement
I count this as good progress! :) —valereee (talk) 16:09, 16 December 2020 (UTC)
- Valereee, I am so exhausted and I wouldn't know where to begin writing such a thing. I would need a lot of help. Maybe after the holidays if you, ProcrastinatingReader, and Levivich are willing to help write it. --- C&C (Coffeeandcrumbs) 20:25, 16 December 2020 (UTC)
- I'm thinking just create a page, write a few sentences about the purpose of the guideline and a link to the RfC that resulted in its creation, and (most importantly) slap the flowchart into the page. Then we add the explanatory supplement template and add it into the AT policy page as a link. Not the preferred result, but it may well work I'm thinking: we can do a bunch of bold moves quoting the newly created explanatory supplement and (assuming none get reverted, I wouldn't really expect they would be) we're good. ProcrastinatingReader (talk) 20:28, 16 December 2020 (UTC)
- Of course I'll help. And PR is right. Writing is hard. Editing is easy. Put up a page with the flowchart, a link to RfC, and a starting content that "This is the flowchart for evaluating article titles about deaths." Then just go do something else. Take a bubble bath or something. PR will no doubt add whatever template and links they're talking about in their nerdy ways I don't understand. ;) It'll grow. :) —valereee (talk) 20:34, 16 December 2020 (UTC)

Hitler on OTD
December 20 isn't really a good day to list Hitler. He should be put on a day that is one of the most important for him. I was going to put him on January 30 (when he was appointed chancellor), but there's already another Hitler article there, so he needs another home. Thanks. —howcheng {chat} 07:51, 18 December 2020 (UTC)
- Howcheng, it is so hard. No way we are going to use his birthday. But there has to be a date that fits but does not overtly offend. I will keep looking. --- C&C (Coffeeandcrumbs) 09:33, 22 December 2020 (UTC)

Elizabeth Willing Powel scheduled for TFA
This is to let you know that the Elizabeth Willing Powel article has been scheduled as today's featured article for January 17, 2021. Please check the article needs no amendments. If you're interested in editing the main page text, you're welcome to do so at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/January 17, 2021, but note that a coordinator will trim the lead to around 1000 characters anyway, so you aren't obliged to do so.
For Featured Articles promoted recently, there will be an existing blurb linked from the FAC talk page, which is likely to be transferred to the TFA page by a coordinator at some point.
We suggest that you watchlist Wikipedia:Main Page/Errors from the day before this appears on Main Page. Thanks! Jimfbleak - talk to me? 16:33, 11 December 2020 (UTC)
Thank you for the article - finally a woman in 2021! - introduced: "Elizabeth Willing Powel has been called a forgotten "Founding Mother" of the United States. An apt moniker for a woman perhaps forgotten by history but whose influence on early American History is evident in her communiques with the notables of her period, including many of the Founding Fathers of the United States who she entertained at her home at Powel House (now a museum in Philadelphia). She is most often remembered for a light exchange with Benjamin Franklin which became an often quoted statement about the Constitution of the United States. The story goes as such: a "lady" asked Franklin "What have we got, a republic or a monarchy?", to which he responded, "A republic ... if you can keep it". Who this "lady" was is often glossed over. This article attempts to answer that question with the best sources available today. Powel was a kingmaker and power broker of her time who counseled Supreme Court justices, presidents, senators, and mayors."! - Happy WP 20! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:40, 17 January 2021 (UTC)
The joys of having an article on the MP, eh? :D ProcrastinatingReader (talk) 13:25, 17 January 2021 (UTC)
- Gerda Arendt and ProcrastinatingReader, thank you both. Vandalism is a small price to pay for a main page appearance. Her appearance on the main page only 3 days before we depose a wannabe monarch is appropriate.

Hi there,
I was reading Margaret Hamilton (software engineer) and saw that you were a major contributor to this article and had nominated it for GA a few years back. I just wanted to say that (1) I thought the article was quite well done, (2) that the subject was very interesting and admirable, and (3) that if you ever want to put it back up for GA review, I'd be happy to be the one to do the review. Anyway, sorry for the random message, and thanks for creating a cool article! DocFreeman24 (talk) 06:41, 12 February 2021 (UTC)
- DocFreeman24, I appreciate that. I did plan on getting back to it sometime. I will let you know if I do nominate it again.
- Feel free to improve it and nominate it for GA yourself. --- C&C (Coffeeandcrumbs) 16:57, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

WikiCup 2021 March newsletter
Round 1 of the competition has finished; it was a high-scoring round with 21 contestants scoring more than 100 points. Everyone with a positive score moves on to Round 2, with 55 contestants qualifying. You will need to finish among the top thirty-two contestants in Round 2 if you are to qualify for Round 3. Our top scorers in Round 1 were:
- Epicgenius led the field with a featured article, nine good articles and an assortment of other submissions, specialising on buildings and locations in New York, for a total of 945 points.
Bloom6132 was close behind with 896 points, largely gained from 71 "In the news" items, mostly recent deaths.
ImaginesTigers, who has been editing Wikipedia for less than a year, was in third place with 711 points, much helped by bringing League of Legends to featured article status, exemplifying how bonus points can boost a contestant's score.
Amakuru came next with 708 points, Kigali being another featured article that scored maximum bonus points.
Ktin, new to the WikiCup, was in fifth place with 523 points, garnered from 15 DYKs and 34 "In the news" items.- The Rambling Man scored 511 points, many from featured article candidate reviews and from football related DYKs.
Gog the Mild, last year's runner-up, came next with 498 points, from a featured article and numerous featured article candidate reviews.
Hog Farm, at 452, scored for a featured article, four good articles and a number of reviews.
Le Panini, another newcomer to the WikiCup, scored 438 for a featured article and three good articles.- Lee Vilenski, last year's champion, scored 332 points, from a featured article and various other sport-related topics.

These contestants, like all the others, now have to start again from scratch. In Round 1, contestants achieved eight featured articles, three featured lists and one featured picture, as well as around two hundred DYKs and twenty-seven ITNs. They completed 97 good article reviews, nearly double the 52 good articles they claimed. Contestants also claimed for 135 featured article and featured list candidate reviews. There is no longer a requirement to mention your WikiCup participation when undertaking these reviews.
Remember that any content promoted after the end of Round 1 but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is a good article candidate, a featured process, or something else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews.
If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

DYK processes
Is this OK per DYK processes? I told Z it was all theirs, since I don’t do DYK and they didn’t need to add my name ... not sure though if my name is required ... SandyGeorgia (Talk) 13:22, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
- SandyGeorgia, totally up to you I think. We usually give credit to the creator, even if they are not the nominator. --- C&C (Coffeeandcrumbs) 14:54, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks, I don't need it, so hope it is OK with you that I reverted it. Best regards, SandyGeorgia (Talk) 15:02, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
- SandyGeorgia, no problem at all. Thanks for the heads up but it was not necessary.
- I am concerned that the article unduly focuses on the Challenger disaster. Not saying trim down that part but we should add more about his career before and after the disaster. --- C&C (Coffeeandcrumbs) 15:07, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
- Will leave that to Z1720 if they want to add more; I just put in the basics to get a solid article started (and doubt that sources focus on much other than the Challenger). And again, this is why I don't do DYK; I was not aware that DYKs had to be comprehensive. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 15:17, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks, I don't need it, so hope it is OK with you that I reverted it. Best regards, SandyGeorgia (Talk) 15:02, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
Responding on my phone because my computer is doing an update for five hours with no end in sight. Coffeeandcrumbs Before nominating the article for DYK I looked for additional information and sources on various databases. Sources mostly focus on his role in the Challenger explosion and the subsequent investigation. I'll keep looking when my computer is done its update, but I don't have much hope in finding more info. Z1720 (talk) 18:33, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
- I guess something has changed (and I sure don’t keep up with DYK), but I thought that DYK was for new articles, and that expansion was expected ... that we do it to encourage editors to engage and expand, but we don’t expect DYKs to be finished. Oh, well ... SandyGeorgia (Talk) 18:38, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
- I just read through the DYK rules and supplementary rules twice and I could not find a requirement that DYK articles be comprehensive. I'll still look for more info to add to the article, but as far as I am concerned, it is good to go for a DYK nom. If I am mistaken please link me the info so I can determine how to get this article to conform to that requirement. Z1720 (talk) 23:03, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
- I was just commenting as an observer. I have no intention to stand in the way of it appearing on DYK. If no other info is available about his career, that is that.
- It was a interesting article. I hope it quickly makes it through DYK review and on to the main page. --- C&C (Coffeeandcrumbs) 23:17, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
- Thx, C&C; the whole deal here was that I don’t know anything about DYK processes, and don’t have the time or interest to learn, which is why I offered the DYK to Z1720 ... and then I felt bad for putting up a fine start to an article that wasn’t even worthy of a DYK, or so I thought ... my only experience with DYK is finding copyvio and uncited hooks and translation errors over and over and over ... when I see them on the main page, I speak up. And that’s all I know! SandyGeorgia (Talk) 23:20, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks for commenting on the article. I hope my comments were taken in the good faith that they were intended to be, and if they caused you any stress or worry then I am sorry and I need to choose better language next time (and hopefully not comment on my phone because my computer was in the middle of a 7-hour computer update!) I hope this article is the best it can be when it's posted on the main page. Z1720 (talk) 00:42, 15 March 2021 (UTC)
- Instead of just complaining about it, I decided to lend a hand. I hope that helps! Thank you for creating this article!! --- C&C (Coffeeandcrumbs) 01:40, 15 March 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks! I quite intentionally left room for expansion, as I thought that was the idea of DYK ... to encourage other editors who read the mainpage to engage! Bst, SandyGeorgia (Talk) 01:53, 15 March 2021 (UTC)

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Breonna Taylor (graduation photo).jpg
Thank you for uploading File:Breonna Taylor (graduation photo).jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content.

Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.
If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator seven days after the file was tagged in accordance with section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.

New Page Patrol newsletter September 2021
Hello Coffeeandcrumbs,
Please join this discussion - there is increase in the abuse of Wikipedia and its processes by POV pushers, Paid Editors, and by holders of various user rights including Autopatrolled. Even our review systems themselves at AfC and NPR have been infiltrated. The good news is that detection is improving, but the downside is that it creates the need for a huge clean up - which of course adds to backlogs.
Copyright violations are also a serious issue. Most non-regular contributors do not understand why, and most of our Reviewers are not experts on copyright law - and can't be expected to be, but there is excellent, easy-to-follow advice on COPYVIO detection here.
At the time of the last newsletter (#25, December 2020) the backlog was only just over 2,000 articles. New Page Review is an official system. It's the only firewall against the inclusion of new, improper pages.
There are currently 706 New Page Reviewers plus a further 1,080 admins, but as much as nearly 90% of the patrolling is still being done by around only the 20 or so most regular patrollers.
If you are no longer very active on Wikipedia or you no longer wish to be part of the New Page Reviewer user group, please consider asking any admin to remove you from the list. This will enable NPP to have a better overview of its performance and what improvements need to be made to the process or its software.
Various awards are due to be allocated by the end of the year and barnstars are overdue. If you would like to manage this, please let us know. Indeed, if you are interested in coordinating NPR, it does not involve much time and the tasks are described here.
To opt-out of future mailings, please remove yourself here. Sent to 827 users. 04:31, 16 September 2021 (UTC)
- @Chetsford: Would you kindly remove the "new page reviewer" right from me? I don't often use it and don't expect to any time soon. --- C&C (Coffeeandcrumbs) 04:47, 16 September 2021 (UTC)

I am confused about how to tell if a specific FP has been POTD
I was curious to see if my photo (File:Gateway_Generating_Station_rectified.jpg) had ever been a picture of the day. Per the Commons categories, it doesn't appear to have. So I figured maybe it would be in Category:Featured pictures that have not appeared on the Main Page... but this is an en-wiki category, so I don't think the file could be in there. Is there a way to tell whether not a photo has been POTD before? (And, of course, if this hasn't been, is there a nomination process?) jp×g 07:15, 6 March 2022 (UTC)
- That files has not been featured on the Main Page. It is in Category:Featured pictures that have not appeared on the Main Page. While this category is en-wiki, it tracks Commons files. Featured pictures have a local en-wiki description page: File:Gateway Generating Station rectified.jpg. It is dutifully created by User:Armbrust when they close the FP nomination as successful. That automatically adds the FP to the category. When the page becomes POTD, a bot adds {{Picture of the day}}. Because of the functionality of {{Featured picture}}, adding {{Picture of the day}}, removes the file from the category.
- tl;dr: everything is working as it should. the file is the category. --- C&C (Coffeeandcrumbs) 15:15, 6 March 2022 (UTC)
- @JPxG:, as for the selection process, it usually follows the principle of "first come, first serve". Meaning FP that are older are made POTD first. We are currently doing FP that were awarded in late 2019. However, POTD are completely at the discretion of the editors working in the area. Currently that is mostly, Cwmhiraeth and Amakuru. Most FPs are of birds, bank notes, and U.S. presidents and coat of arms. There is not much variety. I think Amakuru and Cwmhiraeth may appreciate the uniqueness of this photo and want to use it sooner than later. --- C&C (Coffeeandcrumbs) 15:39, 6 March 2022 (UTC)
- And the article is a GA too: Gateway Generating Station. --- C&C (Coffeeandcrumbs) 15:41, 6 March 2022 (UTC)
- Well it is a relatively recent picture, but it will provide variety so I will list it to appear soon and you will get a notification on your talk page of when that may happen. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:50, 8 March 2022 (UTC)

Since I just realised you were asking about nominating this a while ago... So, turns out one of the images was a featured picture, and, hence, Reaper (Van Gogh series) is due to be on the main page late June.
Actually, do you think you could help me with something related to that? Wikipedia:Picture_of_the_day/Unused#Doubts_as_to_whether_this_is_the_preferred_version has two Van Goghs in it, and they vary wildly from the other copies of the same painting from the Van Gogh museum. Think you could have a look?
There's also a third one, but I don't know if there's much we can do about it, barring writing an article on it. I suppose, if you do, I can guarantee the article a spot on POTD. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 7.8% of all FPs 00:57, 26 May 2022 (UTC)
- I think the first two maybe good cases for delist and replace. There are actually a few options for the one with crows. The third painting just needs an article. I might be able to help with that this summer. I will put it on my to do list for new article creations. --- C&C (Coffeeandcrumbs) 20:27, 27 May 2022 (UTC)

Eva Le Gallienne (1899–1991) was a British-born American stage actress, producer, director, translator, and author. A Broadway star by age 21, Le Gallienne gave up her Broadway appearances to devote herself to founding the Civic Repertory Theatre, in which she was both director, producer, and lead actress. Noted for her boldness and idealism, she became a pioneering figure in the American repertory movement, which enabled today's off-Broadway. A versatile and eloquent actress herself (playing roles ranging from Peter Pan to Hamlet), Le Gallienne also became a respected stage director, coach, producer and manager.

Looking at Wikipedia:Main Page history/2021 November 12, I don't know what happened? Some template change? - Anyway, the reason to look was an exceptional concert, with my pic of the conductor happy, and the review showing him with some boys. Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:42, 11 July 2022 (UTC)

Hi. Short answer is, the banned user is User:Billy Hathorn, whose contributions were problematic enough on multiple fronts that we're doing a long-term cleanup on it. Honestly, since what I removed is mostly an attributed quote, if it's being restored I'm not going to fight it, though I'd certainly prefer prose in their own words instead of taking the easy way out.

FYI, per your suggestion in the nom, I added the second image to This FPC nomination. Bammesk (talk) 02:43, 29 October 2022 (UTC)
- Thank you! Voted. The only reason I didn't vote was because I haven't been around much. Since my comment seems to have slowed down the voting, I went ahead and added my vote.

DYK for Farha (film)
On 28 December 2022, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Farha (film), which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the film Farha, which depicts the killing of a Palestinian family by Israeli soldiers during the Nakba, became the subject of a downvoting campaign? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Farha (film). You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Farha (film)), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Today, I point at two singers I whose performance I enjoyed. - Do you know why Wikipedia:Main Page history/2020 September 1 looks so strange? - just say that per chance. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:56, 6 January 2023 (UTC)
- Hi @Gerda Arendt, yes, I plan to fix all those sometime soon. It is monotonous work. @Izno and @xaosflux figured out the issue. But the fix is a bit complicated and requires planning. Once planned out a bot or myself using WP:AWB could fix all the issues on all the pages in one fell swoop. I just need to sit down and get to it. --- C&C (Coffeeandcrumbs) 19:22, 6 January 2023 (UTC)
