WikiProject BPL[edit]
Hi. Welcome back. As you are now somewhat active in Wikipedia, can you help me improve WP:BPL? I am aware of the fact that you are the founder of the project and I need help as I am the only active member for doing a huge task. I have tried hard to convert the project from inactive to active. Also your talk page is huge. You might want to clear this clutter by archiving them using bot like how I'm doing.Thanks. Human (talk) 06:10, 23 December 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]

- Hello @A Simple Human:, it's very nice to meet you. I saw every detail of the project. In fact I used to stalk the project even if I was inactive. So, I have the plan to look after the project, hence making it count once more. But you see, it's been merely a week since I've come here, so I need to fix and do a sufficient number of tasks which are not the tasks to be done by any Genie. The talk page is one of them. So, before moving on to new tasks, I'll first try to finish these tasks and I need that much time before taking another assignment. So, till then I'll just be watching the project. Also in the case we are the lone active members thinking about the project then we need some platform to do some RTCs which'll allow us to utilize the time with most effectiveness. Until then, for any urgency, do email me. Thanks in advance. --PratyyaG (talk) 06:53, 24 December 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]
- i am not forcing anyone. Just some things get me concerned that newer leagues like PSL and LPL, starting a lot later than BPL, have WikiProjects (both of which I am part of) and are seeming to be better maintained than this one. I joined this project around 2017 and its astonishing that I am the only active member. Another user was of much help last season but he was blocked for sockpuppetry. Also I am very bad at categorising articles, so things are messed up. But take your time, no need to rush in here. Good luck! Human (talk) 07:10, 24 December 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]
- @A Simple Human:, It's not about force. As the founder of the project, this project is something very special to me. Now I got your concern. But just don't be concerned by this. Time has the answer to everything. I am a bit sad that you couldn't see WP:IPL in it's peak days, but the project is now thought to be semi-active. You are in this project since 2017. In 2013 when I founded this project, it was fair enough active (I'm not going to compare with IPL as IPL was at peak in that time). You see time will have the answer to everything. So don't be concerned, just have faith. And one more thing, improvement of these projects solely depend on the activeness of the people of that specific country. You see now-a-days you see lot from Bangladesh editing in enwiki. But still its not enough as most of the people are editing in bnwiki. Earlier in 2013 it was more barren land. You could get merely 2-3 users from Bangladesh at enwiki arena. So point is have faith even with the limited number of sources. TIA. --PratyyaG (talk) 07:28, 24 December 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]

- Yep. WP:IPL is dead now. But IPL articles are nevertheless gets updated due to India's large internet population. Internet is basically free in India, thanks to a billionaire, which is why you see many Indian editors unlike BD. Also English is the second official language besides Hindi unlike ours which explains there participation in enwiki. Even now, I find it hard to find Bangladeshi pedians. I tried gathering opinions about the cause, and most of them were like, "It's too boring". This is a major problem of the country. The most active of these WikiProjects is i guess is WP:PSL surprisingly. Human ([[User talk:A Simple Human|talk]) 07:43, 24 December 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Curious your perspective[edit]
While doing RCP a few weeks ago, I stumbled upon a bunch of puffery, advertisement-like, and other edits which have been coming from a sock/meatpuppeter or two on Bangladeshi medical college pages. A lot of these edits are unsourced and a few of the socks even uploaded some stolen content on the Commons (of which you're active). Given you're much more knowledgeable in Bangladeshi content, it would help if you could help me find some sources for a lot of these pages and help watch these socks as they do their thing. They're pretty active in that. Below are pages of which they are actively targeting:
- Armed Forces Medical College (Bangladesh)
- Grant Medical College and Sir Jamshedjee Jeejeebhoy Group of Hospitals
- Sir Salimullah Medical College
- Enam Medical College and Hospital
- Madras Medical College
- Rajshahi Medical College
- King Edward Medical University
- Medical College and Hospital, Kolkata
- Shaheed Suhrawardy Medical College & Hospital
- Chittagong Medical College

Editing news 2021 #1[edit]
Read this in another language • Subscription list for this newsletter
Reply tool[edit]
The Reply tool is available at most other Wikipedias.
- The Reply tool has been deployed as an opt-out preference to all editors at the Arabic, Czech, and Hungarian Wikipedias.
- It is also available as a Beta Feature at almost all Wikipedias except for the English, Russian, and German-language Wikipedias. If it is not available at your wiki, you can request it by following these simple instructions.
Research notes:
- As of January 2021, more than 3,500 editors have used the Reply tool to post about 70,000 comments.
- There is preliminary data from the Arabic, Czech, and Hungarian Wikipedia on the Reply tool. Junior Contributors who use the Reply tool are more likely to publish the comments that they start writing than those who use full-page wikitext editing.[1]
- The Editing and Parsing teams have significantly reduced the number of edits that affect other parts of the page. About 0.3% of edits did this during the last month.[2] Some of the remaining changes are automatic corrections for Special:LintErrors.
A large A/B test will start soon.[3] This is part of the process to offer the Reply tool to everyone. During this test, half of all editors at 24 Wikipedias (not including the English Wikipedia) will have the Reply tool automatically enabled, and half will not. Editors at those Wikipeedias can still turn it on or off for their own accounts in Special:Preferences.
New discussion tool[edit]
The new tool for starting new discussions (new sections) will join the Discussion tools in Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-betafeatures at the end of January. You can try the tool for yourself.[4] You can leave feedback in this thread or on the talk page.
Next: Notifications[edit]
During Talk pages consultation 2019, editors said that it should be easier to know about new activity in conversations they are interested in. The Notifications project is just beginning. What would help you become aware of new comments? What's working with the current system? Which pages at your wiki should the team look at? Please post your advice at mw:Talk:Talk pages project/Notifications.

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!

WikiCup 2021 May newsletter[edit]
The second round of the 2021 WikiCup has now finished; it was a high-scoring round and contestants needed 61 points to advance to Round 3. There were some impressive efforts in the round, with the top eight contestants all scoring more than 400 points. A large number of the points came from the 12 featured articles and the 110 good articles achieved in total by contestants, as well as the 216 good article reviews they performed; the GAN backlog drive and the stay-at-home imperative during the COVID-19 pandemic may have been partially responsible for these impressive figures.
Our top scorers in Round 2 were:
- The Rambling Man, with 2963 points from three featured articles, 20 featured article reviews, 37 good articles, 73 good article reviews, as well as 22 DYKs.
- Epicgenius, with 1718 points from one featured article, 29 good articles, 16 DYKs and plenty of bonus points.
- Bloom6132, with 990 points from 13 DYKs and 64 "In the news" items, mostly recent deaths.
- Hog Farm, with 834 points from two featured articles, five good articles, 14 featured article reviews and 15 good article reviews.
- Gog the Mild, with 524 points from two featured articles and four featured article reviews.
- Lee Vilenski, with 501 points from one featured article, three good articles, six featured article reviews and 25 good article reviews.
Sammi Brie, with 485 points from four good articles, eight good article reviews and 27 DYKs, on US radio and television stations.- Ktin, with 436 points from four good articles, seven DYKs and 11 "In the news" items.
Please remember that DYKs cannot be claimed until they have appeared on the main page. As we enter the third round, any content promoted after the end of Round 2 but before the start of Round 3 can be claimed now, and anything you forgot to claim in Round 2 cannot! Remember too, that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them (except for at the end of each round, when you must claim them before the cut-off date/time). When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met.
If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anything else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email.

Editing news 2021 #2[edit]
Read this in another language • Subscription list for this newsletter
Earlier this year, the Editing team ran a large study of the Reply Tool. The main goal was to find out whether the Reply Tool helped newer editors communicate on wiki. The second goal was to see whether the comments that newer editors made using the tool needed to be reverted more frequently than comments newer editors made with the existing wikitext page editor.
The key results were:
- Newer editors who had automatic ("default on") access to the Reply tool were more likely to post a comment on a talk page.
- The comments that newer editors made with the Reply Tool were also less likely to be reverted than the comments that newer editors made with page editing.
These results give the Editing team confidence that the tool is helpful.
Looking ahead
The team is planning to make the Reply tool available to everyone as an opt-out preference in the coming months. This has already happened at the Arabic, Czech, and Hungarian Wikipedias.
The next step is to resolve a technical challenge. Then, they will deploy the Reply tool first to the Wikipedias that participated in the study. After that, they will deploy it, in stages, to the other Wikipedias and all WMF-hosted wikis.
You can turn on "Discussion Tools" in Beta Features now. After you get the Reply tool, you can change your preferences at any time in Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing-discussion.

WikiCup 2021 September newsletter[edit]
The fourth round of the competition has finished with over 500 points being required to qualify for the final round. It was a hotly competitive round with two contestants, 
The Rambling Man and 
Epicgenius, each scoring over 3000 points, and six contestants scoring over 1000. All but one of the finalists achieved one or more FAs during the round, the exception being 
Bloom6132 who demonstrated that 61 "in the news" items produces an impressive number of points. Other contestants who made it to the final are .svg){kind=small}
Gog the Mild, 
Lee Vilenski, 
BennyOnTheLoose, 
Amakuru and 
Hog Farm. However, all their points are now swept away and everyone starts afresh in the final round.
Round 4 saw the achievement of 18 featured articles and 157 good articles. .jpg){kind=small}
Bilorv scored for a 25-article good topic on Black Mirror but narrowly missed out on qualifying for the final round. There was enthusiasm for FARs, with 89 being performed, and there were 63 GARs and around 100 DYKs during the round. As we start round 5, we say goodbye to the eight competitors who didn't quite make it to the final round; thank you for the useful contributions you have made to the Cup and Wikipedia, and we hope you will join us again next year. For other contestants, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 4 but before the start of round 5 can be claimed in round 5. Remember too that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them.
If you are concerned that your nomination, whether it be for a good article, a featured process, or anything else, will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to help keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email.

Hello and welcome to the September GOCE newsletter, a brief update of Guild activities since June 2021. Current and upcoming events
September Drive: Our current backlog-elimination drive is open until 23:59 on 30 September (UTC) and is open to all copy editors. Sign up today! Drive and Blitz reports
June Blitz: From 20 to 26 June, 6 participating editors claimed 16 copy edits, focusing on requests and articles tagged in March and April. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here. July Drive: Almost 575,000 words of articles were copy edited for this event. Of the 24 people who signed up, 18 copyedited at least one article. Final results and awards are listed here. August Blitz: From 15 to 21 August, we copy edited articles tagged in April and May 2021 and requests. 9 participating editors completed 17 copy edits on the blitz. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here. Other news
June election: Jonesey95 was chosen to continue as lead coordinator, assisted by Dhtwiki, Tenryuu, and Miniapolis. New maintenance template added to our project scope: After a short discussion in June, we added {{cleanup tense}} to the list of maintenance templates that adds articles to the Guild's copy editing backlog categories. This change added 198 articles, spread over 97 months of backlog, to our queue. We processed all of those articles except for those from the three or four most recent months during the July backlog elimination drive (Here's a link to a "tense" discussion during the drive). Progress report: As of 18:26, 24 September 2021 (UTC), GOCE copyeditors have processed 468 requests since 1 January and there were 60 requests awaiting completion on the Requests page. The backlog of articles tagged for copy-editing stood at 433 (see monthly progress graph above). Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators Jonesey95, Dhtwiki, Tenryuu, and Miniapolis. To discontinue receiving GOCE newsletters, please remove your name from our mailing list.
