I have nominated Sicilian Baroque for a featured article review here. Please join the discussion on whether this article meets featured article criteria. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks. If substantial concerns are not addressed during the review period, the article will be moved to the Featured Article Removal Candidates list for a further period, where editors may declare "Keep" or "Delist" the article's featured status. The instructions for the review process are here. -- Beland (talk) 00:35, 29 January 2020 (UTC)
The article And a body to remember with has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Unsourced since 2009
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. --Another Believer (Talk) 06:03, 6 February 2020 (UTC)
Hi JBmurray, I discovered another major lack of citations WP:YTCOPYRIGHT WP:RS issue with what appears to be another article being edited by your class. It’s admirable that you are taking on education on editing on Wikipedia, something that I believe more people should know how to do properly. Hopefully when finished with your class, the new users enjoyed the experience and continue to be active in the editor community! I removed a large section of Essay-style writing with no citations and sources despite close paraphrasing and/or quoting of books and options on Down These Mean Streets. Per WP:VER All quotations, and any material whose verifiability has been challenged or is likely to be challenged, must include an inline citation that directly supports the material. Any material that needs a source but does not have one may be removed. And WP:COPYVIO which calls for infringing content should be removed... I have RV’d the edit until the user can provide citations and references along the Wikipedia guidelines. Perhaps it would be helpful as their instructor to present a lesson on WP:VER, citations, references, WP:WHYCITE and similar subjects.--Bhockey10 (talk) 02:35, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
I added a few bullets but didn't want to overwhelm them so stopped after a few sections. Looks like some good sources and useful material; the main thing at issue is encyclopedic voice. Pier Gerlofs Donia might be a decent model for them to follow: a folk hero, not yet a GA, but the voice is right -- no drama, just the facts.

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Gregorio Cortez you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of Mike Christie -- Mike Christie (talk) 11:20, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
I note that you changed the format of citation in the article on The Lady Vanishes. I also note at WP:CITEVAR it says: "Editors should not attempt to change an article's established citation style merely on the grounds of personal preference, to make it match other articles, or without first seeking consensus for the change." - kosboot (talk) 12:53, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
The article Gregorio Cortez you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needing to be addressed. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass; otherwise it may fail. See Talk:Gregorio Cortez for issues which need to be addressed.

Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion".

Hola colega:
Le escribo en español porque en su página de usuario dice que usted domina este idioma, así que imagino que entenderá lo que escribo. Soy un usuario que edita principalmente artículos de Wikipedia en inglés y Wikipedia en español, con la intención de mejorarlos. Pero ahora tengo un problema: hace algún tiempo noté que el artículo de Wikipedia en inglés del arquitecto español llamado "Antoni Gaudí" se refiere a él en el encabezamiento del artículo como "Catalan architect".
Por lo que yo sé, en los artículos de Wikipedia que son biografías se debe hacer referencia en el encabezamiento del artículo al país de ciudadanía del sujeto, no a su procedencia regional dentro de un país. Por eso edité el artículo y puse "Spanish architect", pero mi edición fué revertida y el usuario que la revirtió alegó en su explicación que mi edición era un vandalismo.
Entonces después recordé que en el caso de los políticos catalanes desde hace algún tiempo se ha llegado a un concenso en Wikipedia con respecto a eso: En el caso de los políticos catalanes en Wikipedia en inglés para lograr la neutralidad debe ponerse "Spanish politician from Catalonia". Edité nuevamente el artículo, está vez aplicando esa fórmula a Antoni Gaudí: "Spanish architect from Catalonia". Pero mi edición fué revertida una vez más con la justificación nuevamente de que era un vandalismo.
Por eso solicito, por favor, la ayuda de usted. Teniendo en cuenta que usted es administrador, tengo fé en que me pueda ayudar a corregir ese problema. Porque en mi humilde opinión eso representa una parcialización del contenido de Wikipedia por motivos ideológicos.
España fue unificada como un Estado centralizado en la década de 1710 por el rey Felipe V de Borbón, mediante una ley llamada "Decretos de Nueva Planta". A partir de ese momento, Cataluña dejó de ser un principado y se unificó con la Corona de Castilla y de esa unión surgió el reino de España, que es el estado actualmente existente al que pertenece Cataluña. Antoni Gaudí nació en el siglo XIX, y en ese entonces Cataluña ya era parte de España, así que lo más correcto sería referirse a Gaudí como "Spanish".
Quisiera aclararle a usted que no pretendo ser arrogante en lo absoluto, de hecho yo considero que soy un usuario que aún tiene mucho que aprender, así que si usted valora que estoy equivocado en mis puntos de vista, estoy dispuesto a ser receptivo y corregir mis puntos.
Si usted pudiera responderme, se lo agradeceré mucho. De antemano, muchas gracias. Aziyade Gil (talk) 20:06, 17 October 2021 (UTC)
¿Entonces usted considera que no se necesita aclarar el país de ciudadanía del sujeto para mejor entendimiento de los lectores?
Por ejemplo: "Spanish architect from Catalonia" o "Catalan architect from Spain"?
De antemano, gracias Aziyade Gil (talk) 02:27, 19 October 2021 (UTC)

Hi!
You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.
When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.
Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.
If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter.
We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.
Thank you. /Johan (WMF)
