Precious

Women Disobey

Thank you for quality articles such as Women Disobey, Pasha Patriki, VELD Music Festival, Bob Honey Who Just Do Stuff, for tireless gnomish work such as adding the date format to hundreds of articles, for saving for posterity – user with a delicious name, you are an awesome Wikipedian!

Women Disobey

I decorated my talk, thank you for the inspiration. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:59, 20 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It is an awesome photo, isn't it? I knew when I read the words Women Disobey that I must create that page. It is sad that the story of the protests was eclipsed by the senseless shooting at The Capital Gazette. I am having trouble expanding it with Reactions and Aftermath. Two days later, there was another much bigger protest, Families Belong Together (you will love the main infobox photo). That got a lot more coverage. I also started that page and Jmaxfield18 just ran with it (great work!). Jmaxfield18 seems very shy to engage but follows advise, without responding or reverting. A great example of why not to pre-judge an SPA.
Hey, would you be interested in a colloboration project. I have many draft ideas at User:Coffeeandcrumbs/Drafts that I am think of developing. Any of those peak your interest? Or can you suggest something? I have always believe I learn so much when I work side-by-side with someone. It gives me a chance to ask why someone makes certain editing decisions and challenge my own thoughts.--- Coffeeandcrumbs 14:23, 20 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I love collaboration, but am not familiar with the topics and their sources. I will happily look shortly before you want to move a draft, - how is that? I have my routine of writing an article a day, and am 'booked' for weeks to come. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:47, 20 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I made it one of my examples, Template:User QAIbox/doc#women disobey, feel free to share. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 05:55, 22 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

A year ago, you were recipient no. 1980 of Precious, a prize of QAI! - Moon, moon, moon, - excellent landing job! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:29, 20 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

A barnstar for you!

The Visionary Barnstar
Dear Coffeeandcrumbs,

I just want to be the first to congratulate you for your vision and your perseverance to create the first all-space DYK set for July 21. In fact, the whole appearance of the Main Page is a credit to your pioneering vision. It just went live! Enjoy basking in the glow of your stellar achievement! Best, Yoninah (talk) 00:12, 21 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yoninah, thank you for my first barnstar ever! And thank you for your patient and diligent assistance in getting this going. I should say that just as much credit should go to User:Kees08 without whom this would never have been possible. --- Coffeeandcrumbs 15:22, 21 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
And a special thanks to Cwmhiraeth. Your act of bravery did not go unnoticed!!! --- Coffeeandcrumbs 17:42, 21 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Fannie Lou Hamer

D'ye think ye'd like to have a go at helping me renominate her? I'm worried that if my explanation didn't push it through the first time, it might not this time either. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 6.8% of all FPs 03:26, 21 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Adam Cuerden, I will give it a go on Tuesday. Weekend is not a good time to start a nomination I have noticed. --- Coffeeandcrumbs 05:15, 21 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
No problem! Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 6.8% of all FPs 20:10, 21 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
It's not on a schedule, but could you let me know when this is done? Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 6.8% of all FPs 03:20, 25 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Adam Cuerden, I will let you know. I first have to integrate her into 1964 Democratic National Convention#Mississippi controversy and add the photo there. --- Coffeeandcrumbs 04:03, 25 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Any progress? Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 6.9% of all FPs 08:00, 17 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Adam Cuerden, I am sorry but coordinating WP:OTD has taken all my time. I don't think a nomination would be successful at this times without including the photo in 1964 Democratic National Convention#Mississippi controversy. I have not had time to do that. I am really sorry if I held you up. Perhaps you can ask WP:WOMEN to help fix the convention page because I believe most of the EV of the photo is in that article. --- Coffeeandcrumbs 08:26, 17 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Main page compliment

Hi, it appeared to me like you did a lot of the work in planning how to recognize the Apollo 11 anniversary this week, and I wanted to make sure you saw a compliment from a reader on WP:VPM.

Barnstar for you

The Socratic Barnstar
For good and thoughtful comments during a RM discussion. NickCT (talk) 02:57, 18 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hey bud, quick note to let you know I was impressed by the move discussion you raised here. It's sorta fascinating how controversial "Death of..." article title moves can be, even when the logic seems obvious. Perhaps all the controversy that surrounds these talks reflects the emotion that surrounds the subject of death and dying. Don't get discouraged if the RM doesn't work. Emotion often trumps reason over the short term. But in the end, the truth will out. NickCT (talk) 02:57, 18 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

NickCT, I thank you for the kind words. These discussions are difficult but I believe they are important. It is crucial that we question our own preconceptions; objectivity and NPOV are paramount. I always ask myself, what would an alien species who speak perfect English but have no emotions give as the title of this subject? I like to say that we are all biased and we must actively fight that bias. --- C&C (Coffeeandcrumbs) 06:24, 18 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The BLP Barnstar
For re-creating Rip Rapson without the serious problems it had before. Beeblebrox (talk) 21:29, 6 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

About now deleted article James H. Trainor

Hi Coffeeandcrumbs,
Wow. That was extraordinarily brilliant research on your part. Since 2005 we - meaning English language editors like you and me - had tidied up an obituary that was published in the Coos County Democrat in 2003. This is according to the http://www.usgwarchives.net/ website. While that website claimed to have an agreement with the newspaper about text otherwise subject to copyright, the deleted text was, for Wikipedia purposes incompatible with "Wikipedia:CC BY-SA".
Thank you again. Pete AU aka --Shirt58 (talk) 11:55, 8 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Shirt58: I randomly bumped into the article and was just looking for sources to add. This source turned out to be the only RS available and sadly I found it was copy-pasted 15 years ago. I don't think he was notable at all. --- C&C (Coffeeandcrumbs) 20:03, 8 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your GA nomination of R. A. Hardie

The article R. A. Hardie you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:R. A. Hardie for comments about the article. Well done! If the article has not already been on the main page as an "In the news" or "Did you know" item, you can nominate it to appear in Did you know. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of Reidgreg -- Reidgreg (talk) 13:41, 8 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please consider submitting this article to the WikiProject Canada 10,000 Challenge at WP:CAN10K (embolden the article title on that list to indicate a GA). – Reidgreg (talk) 15:31, 8 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Picture of the Day once more

Yesterday I was quite pleased to create a set of banknotes for 24 April but today I notice that the archive entry for 27 April is disrupted in the "recently featured" bit referring to 24 April. It is not the sort of problem I am qualified to sort out! Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:32, 17 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Cwmhiraeth, got it. --- C&C (Coffeeandcrumbs) 07:26, 17 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

CipherCloud

Hello, C (Coffeeandcrumbs). Could you please take a look at the page and share your second opinion regarding the disputes? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CipherCloud

One of the users, MrOllie continues to revert all the edits of the other users, in most of the cases not even explaining the reason behind his reverts or giving very vague explanations. I recently shared all the suggested edits on the Talk page of the article and accused the user of abusing his/her Wikipedia status. His biased actions seem to contradict the basic principles of Wikipedia of neutral edits. He seems to be prejudiced against the company for whatever reasons and doesn't allow any constructive updates. It makes an impression of abusing power and status. --2601:1C0:CB01:2660:A8F3:B5E:FA09:5E2E (talk) 01:58, 25 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Picture of the Day once again

On 6th May I have scheduled another set of banknotes and will soon be creating templates for the other five images in the set. Now this time, the obverse and reverse sides of each bank note are separate featured images. Is it feasible to show both at the same time, one above the other? If it is it would be much better, as otherwise we will have one set of six obverses and another of six reverses (or not use the reverses at all, or have twelve images in the set, six obverses and six reverses). Cwmhiraeth (talk) 12:46, 25 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Cwmhiraeth, it may be possible. I will have to edit the protected page after it is created. Go ahead and create the templates assuming that I will add both obverse and reverse images.
What do you plan to do with the artist/progress proofs? Those are FP as well, I believe. --- C&C (Coffeeandcrumbs) 12:55, 25 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I thought I would schedule them as a separate set, after a bit of a gap, because I didn't feel they mixed well with the certified proofs. They could be included in one set, but it's a bit more awkward, and the "other denominations" bit would need adapting. Maybe we should proceed in this way because there are so many bank notes awaiting their day in the limelight! Cwmhiraeth (talk) 13:08, 25 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Cwmhiraeth, I think your original thinking was correct. We can do the artist proofs later. Perhaps there is something interesting we can write about the creation in the later set of proofs. --- C&C (Coffeeandcrumbs) 13:11, 25 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

WikiCup 2020 May newsletter

The second round of the 2020 WikiCup has now finished. It was a high-scoring round and contestants needed 75 points to advance to round 3. There were some very impressive efforts in round 2, with the top ten contestants all scoring more than 500 points. A large number of the points came from the 12 featured articles and the 186 good articles achieved in total by contestants, and the 355 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:

  • New York (state) Epicgenius, with 2333 points from one featured article, forty-five good articles, fourteen DYKs and plenty of bonus points
  • England Gog the Mild, with 1784 points from three featured articles, eight good articles, a substantial number of featured article and good article reviews and lots of bonus points
  • Botswana The Rambling Man, with 1262 points from two featured articles, eight good articles and a hundred good article reviews
  • Somerset Harrias, with 1141 points from two featured articles, three featured lists, ten good articles, nine DYKs and a substantial number of featured article and good article reviews
  • England Lee Vilenski with 869 points, Gondor Hog Farm with 801, Venezuela Kingsif with 719, Cascadia (independence movement) SounderBruce with 710, United States Dunkleosteus77 with 608 and Mexico MX with 515.

The rules for featured article reviews have been adjusted; reviews may cover three aspects of the article, content, images and sources, and contestants may receive points for each of these three types of review. Please also remember the requirement to mention the WikiCup when undertaking an FAR for which you intend to claim points. Remember also 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. 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. Good luck! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove your name from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

OTRS advice

Hey, C&C! Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Xiahe mandible just got promoted, and there was an unanswered question about rights at the nom. I've been in touch with the creator via her university email -- asked her to upload last May, then recently emailed again to tell her how many pages it was on and thank her for an image with such high educational value, and I've received responses from her again through her uni email, this last saying they were pleased that we are finding the image useful. However, there's a language barrier. Would you take a look and give me some advice? If there's going to be a problem I'd like to have plenty of time to see if we can find a Chinese-speaker to try to help her through the OTRS process if necessary. —valereee (talk) 21:07, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

OTRS has several volunteers that can respond in Chinese. I recommend sending her to c:Commons:OTRS/zh#授權許可寄送的正式方式. For an FP, I recommend getting the permission locked down. If she sent an email in English, I can make sure to shepherd it quickly through the process. Please give me a heads up if you decide to attempt OTRS. I will make it quick and painless. Feel free to email me. --- C&C (Coffeeandcrumbs) 22:15, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
lol, if you can make it quick and painless, let's do it. I don't want to be scrambling if someone noms it for deletion because it gets slotted for PotD. :) Tell me what to do. —valereee (talk) 15:44, 7 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Valereee, instructions are at c:COM:OTRS/CONSENT or c:Commons:OTRS/zh#授權許可寄送的正式方式. She should send an email to [email protected] for (simplified Chinese) or [email protected] (traditional chinese) or [email protected] (English). Then email me what her email address is and I will search for it on the OTRS system and take care of the process. --- C&C (Coffeeandcrumbs) 01:52, 8 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Hey, C&C, I assume no request has shown up anywhere yet? I haven't had a response from her to my email. —valereee (talk) 18:39, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Coffeeandcrumbs,

This is to let you know that the featured picture File:Sojourner Truth, 1870 (cropped, restored).jpg, which you uploaded or nominated, has been selected as the English Wikipedia's picture of the day (POTD) for June 19, 2020. A preview of the POTD is displayed below and can be edited at Template:POTD/2020-06-19. If you have any concerns, please place a message at Wikipedia talk:Picture of the day. Thank you! Cwmhiraeth (talk) 10:26, 11 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sojourner Truth

Sojourner Truth (c. 1797 – 1883) was an American abolitionist and women's rights activist. Born into slavery in Swartekill, New York, she escaped with her infant daughter to freedom in 1826. After going to court to recover her son in 1828, she became the first black woman to win such a case against a white man. Her original name was Isabella Baumfree; she changed her name to Sojourner Truth when she became a Methodist on Pentecost Sunday, 1843. She chose this name because she heard the Spirit of God calling on her to preach the truth, telling her friends: "The Spirit calls me, and I must go", and left to make her way through the land, preaching about the abolition of slavery. During the Civil War, she helped recruit black troops for the Union Army, and after the war, she tried unsuccessfully to secure land grants from the federal government for former slaves.

This photograph of Truth was taken around 1870, accompanied by the caption "I sell the shadow to support the substance", emphasizing her financial acumen. The image is now in the collection of the National Portrait Gallery.

New Page Reviewer newsletter June 2020

Hello Coffeeandcrumbs,

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.

Hi, I was wondering why there are double asterisks indicating nominator lines under the DYK credits? These are not part of the standard nomination template; are you adding them for some reason? Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 19:24, 20 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Yoninah: Just easier for me to see which nom or creator goes with which DYK. I will remove them when I am finished in the future. Thanks. --- C&C (Coffeeandcrumbs) 20:40, 20 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your user page

Hi Coffeeandcrumbs, if you prefer to leave your user page blank and have only a user talk page, I suggest that you create a redirect from User:Coffeeandcrumbs to User talk:Coffeeandcrumbs. ↠Pine () 07:04, 27 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Pine, no thank you. I prefer the red link. I do not think it is doing any harm. However, it is doing good. It is a reminder that good editors come in all colors and experience level. --- C&C (Coffeeandcrumbs) 23:41, 27 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
OK. I'm glad that you thought about this. Best wishes, ↠Pine () 17:56, 28 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
