Paul the Apostle

Hi,

I am a beginner but have noticed abuse on this page:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_the_Apostle

When Jesus talks to Saul (Paul) someone has written about kicking pricks. It was last edited by Telpardic

Please fix.

I've made edits as necessary. The issue was that the translation used was the KJV, which is not the most accurate translation of the Bible, but the most poetic translation. James ^{(T • C)} • 9:34 PM • 10:34, 19 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Shanghainese recording

Hi James! Thanks for creating this recording. I'm writing to ask if you could provide a transcription of it in Chinese characters—I think it would be a very helpful piece of information to add to the file description. Thanks! —Granger (talk · contribs) 02:15, 20 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Granger! Goodness, that recording was made a while back. I've added transliterations in Chinese characters and a Simplified Chinese translation of the English description. Thanks for letting me know! James ^{(T • C)} • 4:00 PM • 05:00, 20 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I don't use Twinkle to know how hard it would have been to specify {{Db-g6|rational=Botched move during an editathon}} instead of {{db-nouser}}, but I think the former would have been acted upon sooner. Not that it matters much, of course. Mark Hurd (talk) 06:25, 1 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks @Markhurd: I was actually going to use G6, but I decided against it and used nouser instead. Nouser seemed to fit, but, of course, I hadn't thought about response times.

Copyright checks when performing AfC reviews

Hello M.O.X. This message is part of a mass mailing to people who appear active in reviewing articles for creation submissions. First of all, thank you for taking part in this important work! I'm sorry this message is a form letter – it really was the only way I could think of to covey the issue economically. Of course, this also means that I have not looked to see whether the matter is applicable to you in particular.

The issue is in rather large numbers of copyright violations ("copyvios") making their way through AfC reviews without being detected (even when easy to check, and even when hallmarks of copyvios in the text that should have invited a check, were glaring). A second issue is the correct method of dealing with them when discovered.

If you don't do so already, I'd like to ask for your to help with this problem by taking on the practice of performing a copyvio check as the first step in any AfC review. The most basic method is to simply copy a unique but small portion of text from the draft body and run it through a search engine in quotation marks. Trying this from two different paragraphs is recommended. (If you have any question about whether the text was copied from the draft, rather than the other way around (a "backwards copyvio"), the Wayback Machine is very useful for sussing that out.)

If you do find a copyright violation, please do not decline the draft on that basis. Copyright violations need to be dealt with immediately as they may harm those whose content is being used and expose Wikipedia to potential legal liability. If the draft is substantially a copyvio, and there's no non-infringing version to revert to, please mark the page for speedy deletion right away using {{db-g12|url=URL of source}}. If there is an assertion of permission, please replace the draft article's content with {{subst:copyvio|url=URL of source}}.

Some of the more obvious indicia of a copyvio are use of the first person ("we/our/us..."), phrases like "this site", or apparent artifacts of content written for somewhere else ("top", "go to top", "next page", "click here", use of smartquotes, etc.); inappropriate tone of voice, such as an overly informal tone or a very slanted marketing voice with weasel words; including intellectual property symbols (™,®); and blocks of text being added all at once in a finished form with no misspellings or other errors.

I hope this message finds you well and thanks again you for your efforts in this area. Best regards--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 02:20, 18 November 2014 (UTC).[reply]

WikiCup 2015 is just around the corner...

Hello everyone, and may we wish you all a happy holiday season. As you will probably already know, the 2015 WikiCup begins in the new year; there is still time to sign up. We have a few important announcements concerning the future of the WikiCup.

We would like to announce that Josh (J Milburn) and Ed (The ed17), who have been WikiCup judges since 2009 and 2010 respectively, are stepping down. This decision has been made for a number of reasons, but the main one is time. Both Josh and Ed have found that, over the previous year, they have been unable to devote the time necessary to the WikiCup, and it is not likely that they will be able to do this in the near future. Furthermore, new people at the helm can only help to invigorate the WikiCup and keep it dynamic. Josh and Ed will still be around, and will likely be participating in the Cup this following year as competitors, which is where both started out.
In a similar vein, we hope you will all join us in welcoming Jason (Sturmvogel 66) and Christine (Figureskatingfan), who are joining Brian (Miyagawa) to form the 2015 WikiCup judging team. Jason is a WikiCup veteran, having won in 2010 and finishing in fifth this year. Christine has participated in two WikiCups, reaching the semi-finals in both, and is responsible for the GA Cup, which she now co-runs.
The discussions/polls concerning the next competition's rules will be closed soon, and rules changes will be made clear on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring and talk pages. While it may be impossible to please everyone, the judges will make every effort to ensure that the new rules are both fair and in the best interests of the competition, which is, first and foremost, about improving Wikipedia.

If you have any questions or concerns, the judges can be reached on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, on their talk pages, or by email. We hope you will all join us in trying to make the 2015 WikiCup the most productive and enjoyable yet. You are receiving this message because you are listed on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

December 2014 GOCE newsletter

Guild of Copy Editors December 2014 Newsletter

Drive: Thanks to everyone who participated in November's Backlog Elimination Drive. Of the 43 people who signed up for this drive, 26 copy edited at least one article. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here.

Progress report: The November Drive removed 26 requests from the Requests page and 509 articles from the {{copy edit}} backlog. We copy edited 83 articles tagged in the target months; July, August, and September 2013. Together with tag removals from articles unsuitable for copy editing, we eliminated July 2013 from the backlog and reduced August and September's tags to 61 and 70 respectively. As of 01:01, 1 December 2014 (UTC), the backlog stood at 1,974 articles, dipping below 2,000 for the first time in the Guild's history (see graph at right). Well done everyone!

Blitz: The December Blitz will run from December 14–20 and will focus on articles related to Religion, in recognition of this month's religious holidays in much of the English-speaking world. Awards will be given out to everyone who copy edits at least one of the target articles. Sign up here!

Election time again: The election of coordinators to serve from 1 January to 30 June 2015 is now underway. Candidates can nominate themselves or others from December 01, 00:01 (UTC), until December 15, 23:59. The voting period will run from December 16, 00:01 (UTC), until December 31, 23:59. You can read about coordinators' duties here. Please consider getting involved and remember to cast you vote—it's your Guild and it doesn't organize itself!

Thank you all once again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve anything without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators Jonesey95, Baffle gab1978, and Miniapolis.

Article "Doye Agama" (Deleted)

Obviously, I am disappointed that the article "Doye Agama" has been deleted. Archbishop Agama is certainly notable, in various ways, not least as being the moderator of the Forum of "Churches Together in England" and a director and trustee of CTE. I should be interested in re-writing the article so that it will hopefully then be acceptable. Any help or advice you can offer me in this regard would be welcome. Perhaps a MUCH briefer article would be more appropriate ? It would also be useful to me to have a copy of the deleted article, so that I don't have to completely reconstruct everything from "square one" (though I would make major changes in light of the fact the old article has been judged to warrant "speedy deletion"). I have asked one of the people listed as offering copies of deleted articles if she can provide me with a copy. My apologies that I have obviously failed to meet the standards/criteria set down by wiki. I am not an experienced editor. Thanks and kind regards. -- User:Diakonias Diakonias (talk) 03:12, 17 December 2014 (UTC) 17 Dec 2014[reply]

@Diakonias: I am not an admin, I simply nominated the article for deletion under CSD criterion G11 as the article was written in a manner which promoted Agama and which would have required a fundamental rewrite in order for it to comply with Wikipedia's content guidelines. You can make request to the deleting admin to have the article userfied (userfication is where the article is copied to a subpage within your user namespace).

WikiCup 2015 launch newsletter

Round one of the 2015 WikiCup has begun! So far we've had around 80 signups, which close on February 5. If you have not already signed up and want to do so, then you can add your name here. There have been changes to to several of the points scores for various categories, and the addition of Peer Reviews for the first time. These will work in the same manner as Good Article Reviews, and all of the changes are summarised here.

Remember that only the top 64 scoring competitors will make it through to the second round, and one of the new changes this year is that all scores must be claimed within two weeks of an article's promotion or appearance, so don't forget to add them to your submissions pages! If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAN, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages. Good luck!

Matt Dillahunty awards

Just a quick note to let you know I took your advice at Matt Dillahunty#Awards and found a secondary source. If you think the primary sources should be removed, I won't revert again, but I'm not sure it's necessary. Thanks for your collaboration. — Brianhe (talk) 18:29, 14 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
