Hi, you closed this AfD as "delete", but the article was restored (with some changes) the same day. Don't know whether this qualifies as G4, but it sure looks kind of disruptive. Just a heads up. Cheers! --Randykitty (talk) 16:44, 20 December 2018 (UTC)

Hi, I just noticed the same thing! I see the article creator contested a G4 prod on the grounds that the new page is not substantially the same as the old one. As a non-admin, I can't see the old version to know if this is the case or not, so I removed my G4, but it is definitely worth a look. Thanks! PohranicniStraze (talk) 19:08, 20 December 2018 (UTC)

I don't know why you say there are "some changes" cause I created it from scratch after seeing Northamerica1000 unlinking the group from some articles in my watchlist.
And surely I looked at the AfD discussion, but I didn't know what to think about the nomination that said that the chart position "couldn't be verified" (it's a matter of seconds, maybe minutes, for anyone who knows what Oricon is). And it is very strange how there were people who casted all those "delete, delete" votes, obviously without trying to check the charts or anything: --Moscow Connection (talk) 20:29, 20 December 2018 (UTC)

If you or someone else removes the notability tag, I may as well nominate the article for DYK. (After adding a couple more sentences, surely. There were some concerts and member changes. Nothing important, but enough to expand it a bit more.)
Could you remove the tag, please? I didn't plan to spend much time on this article, but since I have already spent some, why not spend some more. (I didn't really think it's DYK-worthy and I don't have a hook yet, but there are all sorts or articles on DYK, some are good, some aren't so good, so why not...) --Moscow Connection (talk) 20:44, 20 December 2018 (UTC)

• @Randykitty, PohranicniStraze, and Moscow Connection: I have compared the new version of the article to the deleted version, and the new version is significantly different in prose and style, and is not identical to the deleted version whatsoever. As such, the new version of the article does not qualify for WP:G4 deletion. I have also denoted this on the article's talk page. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 08:32, 21 December 2018 (UTC)

Peace is a state of balance and understanding in yourself and between others, where respect is gained by the acceptance of differences, tolerance persists, conflicts are resolved through dialog, peoples rights are respected and their voices are heard, and everyone is at their highest point of serenity without social tension.

		Happy Christmas!
		Hello Northamerica1000, Early in A Child's Christmas in Wales the young Dylan and his friend Jim Prothero witness smoke pouring from Jim's home. After the conflagration has been extinguished Dylan writes that Nobody could have had a noisier Christmas Eve. And when the firemen turned off the hose and were standing in the wet, smoky room, Jim's Aunt, Miss. Prothero, came downstairs and peered in at them. Jim and I waited, very quietly, to hear what she would say to them. She said the right thing, always. She looked at the three tall firemen in their shining helmets, standing among the smoke and cinders and dissolving snowballs, and she said, "Would you like anything to read?" My thanks to you for your efforts to keep the 'pedia readable in case the firemen chose one of our articles :-) Best wishes to you and yours and happy editing in 2019.

• Thanks 7&6=thirteen, happy holidays to you, and in case you didn't know, per this The Daily Telegraph article, in golf, the term "Dog licence" is "a colloquialism, originating in the UK, for the resounding matchplay winning margin of 7&6 (winning with six holes to spare). So called because a dog licence used to cost seven shillings and sixpence, seven and six, before decimalisation in 1971." North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 03:37, 25 December 2018 (UTC)

Hi,

I noticed that you edited Template:Project assessments so I thought that maybe you could help me.

I would like to create a table with my contributions, listed per quality and importance criteria. Similar to table at above mentioned template.

Would it be possible to create such table? If yes, how?--Antidiskriminator (talk) 16:44, 25 December 2018 (UTC)

• @Antidiskriminator: Offhand, I'm not sure. For either contributions or only articles created, you could manually go through your edits and manually populate a standalone table. The qualify and importance parameters listed in the Project assessments tables are derived from the WikiProject banner templates atop talk pages, but not sure how one could go about this without designing a custom bot to parse their edits, or by using a category system for one's own edits (e.g. Category:Articles worked-on by user), the latter of which which isn't allowed. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 07:38, 26 December 2018 (UTC)

Please restore the article to my sandbox. I don't know how they managed to sneak the AfD past me. I would have commented had I had known. You bought into the "too soon" idea, so that will suffice for about a month until the pageant actually occurs and all of the content will become valid again. I'd much rather not start from scratch, but then I would much rather these idiots not be so damned impatient when it is obvious there will be more to the already developing story soon. Trackinfo (talk) 05:57, 26 December 2018 (UTC)

• @Trackinfo: Well, I wouldn't characterize the rationales for deletion at the AfD discussion as idiotic, particularly when Gnews only provides three hits at this time, with all being press releases, which do not establish notability (link). Ultimately, the topic is not notable at this time to be in Wikipedia's main namespace as an article.

That said, I would be willing to userfy the article to User:Trackinfo/Miss Multinational 2019. If the topic becomes notable and the article is fleshed out, I recommend that you then submit it to Articles for creation, where your submission can be reviewed by an uninvolved user. An easy way to do this is to place {{Userspace draft}} atop the draft page and then select the "Submit your draft for review" link. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 09:45, 26 December 2018 (UTC)

I don't recall the exact date of the pageant, but I believe it was intended to be January or February at the latest. The substance of the existing article is that contestants have been selected and entered already. For a future event, this is a normal course of development. The idiocy is in rushing this to AfD as this process is developing. If this is a non-notable pageant, sources will not build up as the event comes closer to occurring. This is just jumping the gun to cause trouble. So your suggestion of going through the normally unnecessary step of taking it through Articles for Creation is caused by their impatience and unfortunately your willingness to go along with it. I've created about 1,000 articles and never had to go through that previously. Had I known of this AfD, I would have aggressively defended it, as I am prone to doing. Instead I apparently missed one notice and there was zero activity on the article since. 3 votes and you accept it.

You are not a party to it (I hope, or its COI), but there is a group that wants to abolish the subject of pageants entirely and are targeting any sidebar or expansion articles. Thats how I got involved, trying to defend their territory against the mounting force of evil doers trying to remove all their content. So you have added additional salt to help the forces of evil. Assuming this pageant gets the coverage like last year, we'll have sources and will win on simple GNG if nothing else. If not, the entire pageant as a series is a bust.Trackinfo (talk) 05:04, 27 December 2018 (UTC)

• @Trackinfo: It's like I said, I can userfy it if you'd like; the AfC process is just a suggestion, not a dictum whatsoever. If sources that qualify notabilty are realized, you can republish the article in main namespace. Let me know, and keep in mind that if the article were to be published prematurely without new sources that qualify notability, it could be deleted again via AfD. Also, in case you are not aware of it, if a verbatim copy to the deleted version is published without some changes, then someone could come along and nom for speedy deletion per WP:G4. Just letting you know these (bureaucratic) details from the start.

Personally, if you want it userfied, I would wait for more sources, expand, and publish after actual notability is apparent, rather than upon predictions that notability may occur or is likely to occur. So, let me know if you'd like it userfied, or not, and hope you're enjoying the holiday season. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 14:47, 28 December 2018 (UTC)

Please userfy now. I have no intention of forcing the article forward now. I expect a bunch of content when the pageant happens in a few weeks. The only way I will know about it is if sources materialize. Last year they were major, conventional media from India (host country) and Philippines (winner's country) primarily. If something similar doesn't happen this time, I have nothing to move forward with. However, other people with a little touch up from me, did the initial formatting on what was deleted. I'd rather not backtrack. Trackinfo (talk) 17:30, 28 December 2018 (UTC)

Before, we could only cut off the bottom of pics.

User:FR30799386 has pulled it off, and made the upgrade to {{Portal image banner}}...

So, this:

Becomes this:

Here's the code for the above banner:

{{Portal image banner|File:American Falls from Canadian side in winter.jpg | [[Niagara falls]], from the Canadian side |maxheight=175px |overflow=Hidden|croptop=10}}

To see it employed in a portal, check out Portal:Niagara Falls.

We were racing against time to create 5,000 portals by the end of the year (just for the heck of it).

We made it. We've passed the 5,000 portals mark, with time to spare!

And the 5,000th portal is Portal:Major League Baseball, by Happypillsjr.

Congratulations!

The 10,000th portal mark. But...

...there is plenty else to do in addition to building new portals:

1. The new portals need to be linked to from the encyclopedia.
2. On those portals about subjects that are not typically capitalized, the search parameters need to be refined/expanded, to maximize the chances of Did you know and In the news items being found and displayed.
3. A Recognized content section needs to be added to each portal that has a corresponding WikiProject.
4. Addition of a category on those portals that lack a subject category.
5. Implement the portal category system, adding the appropriate categories to each portal.
6. Upgrade, and complete (as per the tasks enumerated above), the old-style portals that are not regularly maintained, which have not been converted yet (about 1,100 of them).
7. Find and fix the remaining bugs in the underlying lua modules.
8. Build portal tools (scripts) to assist in the creation, development, and maintenance of portals.
9. Build a script to help build navbox footer templates, via the harvesting of categories, amongst other methods.
10. Update the portal building instructions.
11. Update the portal guideline.
12. Refine the programming of the portals to reduce their load time.
13. Design and develop the next generation of portals and portal components.

And whatever else you can dream up.

But most of all, have a...

Happy New Year!

Northamerica1000, thank you for your contributions to the Portals Project, and have a prosperous, productive and enjoyable New Year.

• @The Transhumanist: Please consider updating the Template:Portal image banner page with instructions about how to crop. Without information about it, nobody is going to know about it into the future when they read the page; only those that read the newsletter will know about it. It's also unclear what types of parameters should be used within the template, which would come in handy on the actual Portal image banner page. More food for thought.

Northamerica1000, why the header is week 1, 2018 not week 1, 2019? Also pinging MusikAnimal Hhkohh (talk) 04:10, 31 December 2018 (UTC)

@Hhkohh: I'm not sure why the header for the weekly talk page article selection notices is reading "This week's article for improvement (week 1, 2018)", but it's likely a bot matter. The Schedule page appears to be in order. For what it's worth, MusikBot did not add the TAFI template atop this week's selection as it normally does either, so I manually added it (diff). Pinging MusikAnimal as well. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 08:17, 31 December 2018 (UTC)

Also, bot wrongly tagged 2018/1 article [1] Hhkohh (talk) 08:26, 31 December 2018 (UTC)

Houston, we have a problem. Well, I added a talkback notice on MusikAnimal's talk page as well, directing them here. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 08:43, 31 December 2018 (UTC)

I am afraid that bot will action wrong things next Monday. BTW, and this bot edit (bot notified wrong WikiProject!) Hhkohh (talk) 08:53, 31 December 2018 (UTC)

Yep, the script needs updating. I understand that MusikAnimal may need some time to respond and hopefully attend to the matter. Hopefully the errors can be corrected in a timely manner, without being a tedious pain for MAnimal. I'm certainly not going to tinker with the bot. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 14:07, 31 December 2018 (UTC)

Hello! Also pinging Hhkohh. The header says 2018 because it was posted in 2018. I believe all the other mishaps were a consequence of this bug. The bug itself is due to a conflict of how we get the current week and the year. The week number comes from a Ruby core function called cweek. It gave 1 instead of 53 in adherence to the ISO week date specification, which is an international standard. The function used to get the current year works differently, however. It gives the literal current year (which makes sense). This is all very confusing... I think the solution is to make the bot use the following year if cweek is 1, unless the current day is on or after the 1st. Hopefully that makes sense. At any rate, I'm fairly certain all will be fine next week. Note however 2019-01-07 (the next scheduled date) is considered week #2. I will look into fixing the bug soon, but fortunately I have a whole year to fix it! :) Thanks for the ping, — MusikAnimal ^talk 01:02, 2 January 2019 (UTC)

Turns out it's really easy to fix... just use the cwyear function instead of year. Out of an abundance of caution, I'm going to supervise next Monday's run to make sure there are no mistakes, but I think this should fix it. Regards — MusikAnimal ^talk 01:08, 2 January 2019 (UTC)

Ta - have a HNY - one small problem is that recent blocks have not been tallied against the core sock [3] JarrahTree 14:34, 1 January 2019 (UTC)

@JarrahTree: I may not get further involved in the matter at this time. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 14:37, 1 January 2019 (UTC)

no big problem - the sheer predictability of the very few articles that are descended upon with such youthful vigour, means that anyone - even someone who is not an admin or experienced editor, or even with the lack of indonesian language capacity, could trace the items without much more than a visual - no ultrasound, radar or intuition required...sad, really JarrahTree 14:40, 1 January 2019 (UTC)

Marmite is almost better. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 20:09, 8 January 2019 (UTC)

Your page width is all screwy, by the way. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 20:11, 8 January 2019 (UTC)

@Anna Frodesiak: My page width looks fine in Chrome. What browser are you using? North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 20:40, 8 January 2019 (UTC)

Firefox. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 20:51, 8 January 2019 (UTC)

@Anna Frodesiak: I just checked it out using Firefox, looks perfectly fine on my end. Perhaps you need to change your settings or update the software. At any rate, Firefox's coloration reminded me of Iris the kitten! North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 20:55, 8 January 2019 (UTC)

It's your motorbike pic. It is so wide, I have to scroll right to see the pizza pic. No worries, though. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 21:03, 8 January 2019 (UTC)

I don't know how it can be fixed; it's likely your browser settings, or you have a short-width screen... North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 22:08, 8 January 2019 (UTC)

Actually, I think you are right. I've been viewing at 140%. At 100%, it is fine. I use a giant, wide flat screen as the monitor. It's just a little far away, so I blow it up. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 22:21, 8 January 2019 (UTC)
