Black mamba
editDo you think it is capable of getting to FA? LittleJerry (talk) 18:52, 21 August 2018 (UTC)
- Yes. However I have discovered over time that commonly articles that have already been developed substantially can be more work than starting one from scratch. But I have a special interest in buffing this one as snake articles are often edited by young people wanting to emphasise how poisonous they are, often with unreliable sourcing. If you have a look at the history of this page you will see. Also, it was extensively edited by a sockpuppet account with lots of very puffy speech. I have gone through part of it (taxonomy and description but will recheck), but it really needs checking of the lower half of the article to ensure that the material is correctly sourced and faithful to sources. It would be a good one to do and co-nominate. Up for a challenge? Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 21:34, 21 August 2018 (UTC)
- Yes! Though I need to get a hold of some of the sources. LittleJerry (talk) 22:19, 21 August 2018 (UTC)
- Ok let's do it Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 04:02, 22 August 2018 (UTC)

- I just ordered Marais' 2004 book, FitzSimons and Vivian's 1970 book and Mattison's 1987 book. I also have Håkansson and Madsen (1987) on JSTOR. That should cover a lot of cites. I'll look through JSTOR this week. LittleJerry (talk) 20:44, 22 August 2018 (UTC)

By the way @LittleJerry:, the same sockpuppet account has worked extensively on other reptile GAs, including Black-necked spitting cobra, Forest cobra, Many-banded krait, Western green mamba and Eastern green mamba. Sigh...these will all need checking at some point....Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 21:03, 5 September 2018 (UTC)
- I reviewed the sources I mentioned above plus the NatGeo link and Haagner and Morgan (1993). They should be all good now. You may find that a good chunk of the article cites from these as you continue your source check. I can't buy more books now, maybe you can look at the Spawls 2002 and 1995 books. I can't find mention of the brow range or parts of the fighting in my sources. LittleJerry (talk) 22:24, 5 September 2018 (UTC)
- I'll see what I can do Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 01:08, 6 September 2018 (UTC)
On second thought. I think I'll just do so rewriting. That way you only need to spotcheck the "Venom" and "Attacks on Humans" sections. LittleJerry (talk) 13:50, 7 September 2018 (UTC)- Okay, the sections "Description", "Distribution and habitat" and "Behaviour and ecology" should be all good as far as sourcing. I'll let you take care of the rest. LittleJerry (talk) 18:32, 7 September 2018 (UTC)

LittleJerry apologies. Have also been caught up in a quagmire of lion secondary/daughter pages. Have a look at my contribs as any opinions on the various debates I have launched might assist bringing about a consensus sooner. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 02:31, 7 November 2018 (UTC)

Spurs
editAny chance these can be filled in?
I'm really dubious about the prose quality of the article. It suffers from POV, PEACOCK and just poor quality English in places. Has it had a third party copyedit before FAC?
Really sorry to be negative. --Dweller (talk) Become old fashioned! 12:00, 27 December 2018 (UTC)

- ok, it's 130am and I need to be up in 5 hours. I need to sleep. I will look more tomorrow. @Hzh: don't worry this is doable. Do any of your sources specify when they were first called "Spurs" (obvious I know but finding a ref for when would be good) Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 14:32, 27 December 2018 (UTC)
- I haven't seen any specific mention of when it was first called Spurs that I can remember (I will check again), although I have found references to Spurs as early as 1884 and 1885 e.g.
St Augustine's v. Tottenham ... the fine passing of the Saints' forwards completely baffled the 'Spurs backs...
(The Sportsman, 19 March 1885 [1]), (Tottenham Hotspur vs Bowes Park ... resulted in a victory for the Spurs by three goals to nil...
(Sporting Life 28 December 1885, pg. 4 [2]). The 1884 one is quoted in the book by Tottenham and Edmonton Weekly Herald -The Spurs had the best of the game throughout
[3]. Seemed to have been called either "the Spurs" or "the 'Spurs" in many early sources (the "the" has now been dropped). Given that the first press mention of the club appeared in 1883, it is likely to have called Spurs very early on, if not from the very beginning. I have seen another early reference to Spurs although it is not clear if that refers to another club called Hotspur (Spurs may have been a general name for clubs named Hotspur). Sorry for not editing because of the holiday, will get back to it later today to fix some issues (trimming the later sections and adding an extra paragraph). Hzh (talk)- I think adding historic mentions is a good idea for a history article! --Dweller (talk) Become old fashioned! 16:04, 27 December 2018 (UTC)
- I don't remember reading it, but I'll see if I can find an actual source that states when "Spurs" was first used. If I can't find such a source, then maybe just a simple statement that it was used very early on. Hzh (talk) 20:34, 27 December 2018 (UTC)
- The book by Tottenham and Edmonton Weekly Herald has another quote of a report of a match held in November 1883 -
Buckle, Watson and Bailee were in good form for the Spurs.

- That can be rewritten. It came about because different people wrote different things at different times, and I wasn't sure if combining the two parts would disrupt the narrative about the takeover of the club. (There are a lot more about the conflicts in the boardroom that could be written, but those were omitted so that the story won't get too convoluted.) I think maybe the two parts can be partially merged. Hzh (talk) 20:31, 27 December 2018 (UTC)
- @Dweller: was ferreting around looking for some sort of ref origin for nickname "Spurs" and came across this which actually has alot of historical information on the Jewish support of the club. Just pndering whether it goes better in the History article or supporters section of main particle. Also has an interesting story about Manchester City but for another day....Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 22:36, 28 December 2018 (UTC)
DYK for Australasian gannet
editOn 28 December 2018, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Australasian gannet, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Australasian gannets (example pictured) established a breeding colony on Young Nick's Head after being attracted there by decoy birds and pre-recorded calls? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Australasian gannet. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Australasian gannet), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Hi Cas Could you take a look at Macrozamia riedlei and the associated talk page
editI can no longer understand what the problem is anymore! I have offered solutions: None of which seem to satisfy Cygnis insignis... The relevant discussions are at Commons and Talk:Macrozamia riedlei#Moving range map from infobox to "Cultivation": (The rightful place for this map?) I think the discussion might benefit from your thoughts....MargaretRDonald (talk) 10:37, 28 December 2018 (UTC)
- Some of the AVH maps have looked a little odd in the past. With some odd inclusions and some odd omissions. At times it appears as if the data is collated by a bot. I've never used t hem to create maps but instead gone to a monograph or decisive review to see what is said there. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 12:58, 28 December 2018 (UTC)
- The maps are generated on request, using any and every data set they can access. It would neat to create these with a few clicks and an upload wizard, but I have never seen a way to do that using the filters available. Nevertheless, it not a published document and contradicts the information in our article, which took me some time to establish, and the FloraBase map (for the WA range, if I finally accept Margaret's contention there are outliers "collected in NSW" and I have no business contradicting that source). I'll attend to the DYK request tomorrow, I've spent too much time on this today and need to look at something else instead. cygnis insignis 13:33, 28 December 2018 (UTC)
- In Macrozamia riedlei map, (as with all my maps using AVH data) I downloaded the darwin core set of variables using the download option from AVH. As can be seen there are records showing in NSW. These consist of 7 specimens collected by D.L.Jones at Shoalhaven all on the same date. See e.g. Record CANB 618160.7. As can be seen by inspecting these records, each indicates that the specimen was not cultivated. (So the field, establishmentMeans, will not exclude any of these records.) However, today I did a new download, https://doi.org/10.26197/5c2736e141e89, in which I expanded the DarwinCore variables by adding all the datachecking variables. These included: Suspected outliers and outside expert range for species. However, when checking the 386 records which had spatial coordinates recorded, NO record failed these tests.... So the first map uploaded for Macrozamia riedlei with its Shoalhaven records is the best that one can do automatically for this species. The Shoalhaven records must be deleted, either by hand or by special coding which effectively says: "I know the native range of these records, and therefore these must be excluded". (I will do this if that would content Cygnis insignis.) However it is the case that all data sets come with errors and with missing values. AVH has curated these datasets and we should not indulge in further curation(=original research). I believe that I should, in future, download the DarwinCore plus the datachecking variables and use the AVH curated variables to exclude points AVH considers dubious, but as can be seen here this will not necessarily exclude points which some would like excluded. MargaretRDonald (talk) 10:45, 29 December 2018 (UTC)

- I am only able to endorse my contributions to the article, but not its current state. Another contribution, crudely inserted, has been made that contradicts the results of my own collation of current facts with a reference to 1998 entry in the national flora. The form of the plant is the best I could do with sources available, but I think I know why sources do not accord and will get around to fixing that later (when I am less pissed off). Resolving this now would be timesink, I already lost a day on the map, so I prefer that my name is removed from the DYK and I focus my efforts elsewhere. I'm hoping you can simply remove my name from the nomination, the arcane nesting of DYK pages is not something I need to know, and want to make it clear that I'm not requesting anything more than that. Note also that I am averse to DYK itself, while not without merit I find it forces my hand to make the best content possible before it is presented as an example of my contributions; that's my problem it seems so I just avoid it and focus on something more enjoyable to me. cygnis insignis 08:04, 4 January 2019 (UTC)

Thoughts for a blitz on the category: Taxa named by...
editHi @Casliber:. I was wondering how we might promote a campaign to include the categories Plants described in ..., and Taxa named by ... in all plant articles. Currently these categories are sadly deficient for most plant articles, making the categories very far from encyclopaedic. One can interrogate IPNI in the plant name search and search by author (standard name) coming up with (almost) all possible plant names for an author. It would be good if we could aspire to such completeness in Wikipedia. (it could of course, be done easily via a bot using the infobox, which would be the simplest solution.) Either way, how might it be made to happen? MargaretRDonald (talk) 23:34, 20 January 2019 (UTC)

- this can also be done by interrogating WD, Plantae+description/year and limit the data to 'has article at wikipedia'. Or just the English wikipedia, to emulate the intent of a lot of manual edits, but with more accurate results. cygnis insignis 05:09, 21 January 2019 (UTC)
- Thanks @Cygnis insignis: Would it be possible for you to do this? And then point me to your coding so that I might be able to imitate it in future queries. (And for the query on author). MargaretRDonald (talk) 22:46, 22 January 2019 (UTC)

I would like to request for review of my FA nomination. The article is in quite a good shape I think, but still there may be erros and areas for improvement, so your opinion and suggestions are much appreciated.

WikiCup 2019 March newsletter
editAnd so ends the first round of the competition. Everyone with a positive score moves on to Round 2. With 56 contestants qualifying, each group in Round 2 contains seven contestants, with the two leaders from each group due to qualify for Round 3 as well as the top sixteen remaining contestants.
Our top scorers in Round 1 were:
L293D, a WikiCup newcomer, led the field with ten good articles on submarines for a total of 357 points.
Adam Cuerden, a WikiCup veteran, came next with 274 points, mostly from eight featured pictures, restorations of artwork.
MPJ-DK, a wrestling enthusiast, was in third place with 263 points, garnered from a featured list, five good articles, two DYKs and four GARs.
Usernameunique came next at 243, with a featured article and a good article, both on ancient helmets.
Squeamish Ossifrage was in joint fifth place with 224 points, mostly garnered from bringing the 1937 Fox vault fire to featured article status.
Ed! was also on 224, with an amazing number of good article reviews (56 actually).
These contestants, like all the others, now have to start scoring points again from scratch. Between them, contestants completed reviews on 143 good articles, one hundred more than the number of good articles they claimed for, thus making a substantial dent in the review backlog. Well done all!
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 at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere 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!

Re: Semi-Protected edit request on 3/5/19 for the article Bipolar disorder to include a link for Ronald Braunstein
editHello Dr. Casliber : Just a quick note to update you about a Semi-Protected edit request which has been posted on the talk page for the article Bipolar disorder. Perhaps if you have spare time you might share your medical expertise and extensive experience as a Wikipedia Administrator in order to evaluate the proposal to incorporate the following text at the end of the section entitled Society and Culture
- In an effort to ease the social stigma associated with bipolar disorder, the orchestra conductor Ronald Braunstein cofounded the
ME/2 Orchestra with his wife Caroline Whiddon in 2011. Braunstein was diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 1985 and his concerts with the ME/2 Orchestra were conceived in order to create a welcoming performance environment for his musical colleagues, while also raising public awareness about mental illness.[1] [2]
The can be no doubt that your expert opinion would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks in advance for your thoughtful consideration and best wishes for your continued success on Wikipedia. Respectfully yours, 104.207.219.150 (talk) 23:46, 6 March 2019 (UTC)PS

DYK help
editHi. As per this revision of Bandaru Dattatreya, the article has 922 characters. I expanded the article and currently the article has 4832 characters (well above the 5x threshold of 4610 charatcer). However, the DYK tool shows "Article has not been created or expanded 5x or promoted to Good Article within the past 10 days". Can you please have a look into this matter and help me understand where I have gone wrong? Thanks in advance. RRD (talk) 04:44, 10 March 2019 (UTC)
- @Royroydeb: unfortunately it seems it needs a 922 char article to be expanded to 5x 1500. Something like that? MPS1992 (talk) 05:18, 10 March 2019 (UTC)
- @MPS1992: No. I do not think so. I expanded Mausam Noor from 1100 characters to 6500+ characters and promoted to DYK. Firhad Hakim was also expanded from around 600 characters. Same for Muhammad Kam Bakhsh. During these, the DYK tool did not display such a message. RRD (talk) 05:51, 10 March 2019 (UTC)

Mairia hirsuta or Mairia purpurata
editHi Casliber, I have just created Mairia hirsuta, but this seems to be a later synonym of Cineraria purpurata. Perhaps I could ask you to have a look at the Taxonomy section. The new combination Mairia purpurata does not seem to be widely used. Did I make the right choice here to create this article, or should I have created Mairia purpurata? Should I create a redirect for M. purpurata even if it is not (yet) well known? Thank you for your advice. Kind regards, Dwergenpaartje (talk) 23:13, 16 March 2019 (UTC)
- Interesting. Looks like Mairia purpurata has not gained traction yet. I'd leave at hirsuta until accepted. Yes I'd make a redirect. In fact I just did :) Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 23:40, 16 March 2019 (UTC)

Canvassing on Rigel talkpage
edit It appears that you have been canvassing—leaving messages on a biased choice of users' talk pages to notify them of an ongoing community decision, debate, or vote. While friendly notices are allowed, they should be limited and nonpartisan in distribution and should reflect a neutral point of view. Please do not post notices which are indiscriminately cross-posted, which espouse a certain point of view or side of a debate, or which are selectively sent only to those who are believed to hold the same opinion as you. Remember to respect Wikipedia's principle of consensus-building by allowing decisions to reflect the prevailing opinion among the community at large. Thank you.

WikiCup 2019 May newsletter
editThe second round of the 2019 WikiCup has now finished. Contestants needed to scored 32 points to advance into round 3. Our top four scorers in round 2 all scored over 400 points and were:
Cas Liber (1210), our winner in 2016, with two featured articles and three DYKs. He also made good use of the bonus points available, more than doubling his score by choosing appropriate articles to work on.
Kosack (750), last year's runner up, with an FA, a GA, two FLs, and five DYKs.
Adam Cuerden (480), a WikiCup veteran, with 16 featured pictures, mostly restorations.
Zwerg Nase (461), a seasoned competitor, with a FA, a GA and an ITN item.
Other notable performances were put in by Barkeep49 with six GAs,
Ceranthor,
Lee Vilenski, and
Canada Hky, each with seven GARs, and
MPJ-DK with a seven item GT.
So far contestants have achieved nine featured articles between them and a splendid 80 good articles. Commendably, 227 GARs have been completed during the course of the 2019 WikiCup, so the backlog of articles awaiting GA review has been reduced as a result of contestants' activities. The judges are pleased with the thorough GARs that are being performed, and have hardly had to reject any. As we enter the third round, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 2 but before the start of round 3 can be claimed in round 3. Remember too that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them.
If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anywhere 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.

Administrator account security (Correction to Arbcom 2019 special circular)
editArbCom would like to apologise and correct our previous mass message in light of the response from the community.
Since November 2018, six administrator accounts have been compromised and temporarily desysopped. In an effort to help improve account security, our intention was to remind administrators of existing policies on account security — that they are required to "have strong passwords and follow appropriate personal security practices." We have updated our procedures to ensure that we enforce these policies more strictly in the future. The policies themselves have not changed. In particular, two-factor authentication remains an optional means of adding extra security to your account. The choice not to enable 2FA will not be considered when deciding to restore sysop privileges to administrator accounts that were compromised.
We are sorry for the wording of our previous message, which did not accurately convey this, and deeply regret the tone in which it was delivered.
For the Arbitration Committee, -Cameron11598 21:03, 4 May 2019 (UTC)
