: Yes, that is one of the biggest problems on wikipedia - to find free photos for articles. On the English wikipedia it is a little bit more easy, there you can upload small versions of nearly every picture under the fair use license to illustrate an article. Most images what I found are from flickr. For instance [http://www.flickr.com/photos/41377219@N02/7692537460] has an adequate license for wikimedia commons (click on the page there on LICENSE) Probably all images from this photographer you can use for the commons. This image [http://www.flickr.com/photos/gasi/2334286158/|here] for instance you can't use for the commons, because the license says: ''Noncommercial'' and ''No Derivative Works'', but it must be both allowed. What is also allowed is to upload old pictures (author more than 70 years dead or pictures older than 70 years from unknown authors). If you have more questions feel free to ask. --[[User:Florentyna|Florentyna]] ([[User talk:Florentyna#top|talk]]) 12:22, 29 August 2012 (UTC) |

'''Recruitment:''' A couple of the coordinators have been inviting editors to become reviewers, via mass-messages to their talk pages. If you know someone who you'd think would make a good reviewer, then a personal invitation to them would be great. Additionally, if there are Wikiprojects that you are active on, then you can add a post there asking participants to join NPP. Please be careful not to double invite folks that have already been invited. |

I've declined your AIV request on [[User:Mvgcrown]] for two reasons. First you never warned, or in any way tried to discuss the matter with the user. Since [[WP:BLPCAT]] is a very technical rule, it's very likely that a new user wouldn't understand it. And we almost never block a user without explaining what they've done wrong, even in cases of blatant, aggressive vandalism. Furthermore, those edits are definitely not vandalism; the exact definition can be found in [[WP:VANDAL]], but the basic idea is that vandalism only refers to edits designed to make Wikipedia worse, which clearly these are not. You may wish to review the vandal definitions on that page. [[User:Qwyrxian|Qwyrxian]] ([[User talk:Qwyrxian|talk]]) 07:47, 14 October 2012 (UTC) |

::And I agree with your sentiment as well. Since the user has continued, I've upgraded my informative statement to a warning. If the user persists, feel free to leave me a note on my talk page (I may not remember to check Mvgcrown's contributions) and I'll block.

== [[Østerbros Boldklub]] == |
|||
Hello Florentyna. I see you have added a badminton project tag to the sports club Østerbros Boldklub talk page, and wonder if you have a reference for Østerbros Boldklub having had badminton in its program? |
|||
I can see that an Østerbro BK is listed at the [[List of Danish National Badminton champions]], but I think you have Østerbros Boldklub (Østerbros BK) confused with Østerbro Badmintonklub ([http://www.badminton.dk/DBF/Klub/Info/?clubid=1133 Østerbro BK]) - which in all honesty is a most understandable mix-up, as I made [[Østerbro BK]] a redirection article instead of just fixing the (commonly misspelled) link to Østerbros Boldklub at [[IFK Göteborg]].

== New Super Series format == |
|||
I noticed that [[User:The tampan]] used a new format for the 2013 All-England Super Series Premier, but has gone further to using his new format for the [[2013 Korea Open Super Series Premier]] and is in the process of changing the formatting for the [[2013 Malaysia Super Series]]. I've been away for a while, have these changes been discussed, it's one thing to use a new format for a new competition, but to go back and change formats for completed events seems drastic. What are your thoughts?--[[User:MorrisIV|MorrisIV]] ([[User talk:MorrisIV|talk]]) 04:14, 26 February 2013 (UTC) |
|||
:The tampan is still re-editing articles without providing an explanation for why he wants the new format. Personally, I think The tampan's edits have reached the point of wrecklessness. What options do we have to address this issue? I went to the [[Wikipedia:Wikiproject Badminton]] page, but there is no comprehensive list of users so that a consensus could be reached. What do you think should be the next move?--[[User:MorrisIV|MorrisIV]] ([[User talk:MorrisIV|talk]]) 15:01, 28 February 2013 (UTC) |
|||
::This is getting out-of-control, and frankly unacceptable. I think The tampan is claiming [[Wikipedia:Ownership of articles]] and is not responding to the discussion I attempted to begin on his/her talk page (which I find particularly egregious). I think we should go to [[User:Qwyrxian]] or someone else to resolve this issue.--[[User:MorrisIV|MorrisIV]] ([[User talk:MorrisIV|talk]]) 04:11, 5 March 2013 (UTC) |

|||
:::Florentyna, you should read [[MOS:FLAG]] first before you simply revert, without a word of explanation: it's disruptive. The burden is on editors wanting to use those icons, and "I'm against" sounds like a matter of taste, not an argument based on policy or guideline. MorrisIV has arguments: as long as you don't have any, please refrain from reverting. BTW, what ''on earth'' is gained by having a flag in every single bracket? You should read the discussion on [[Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Icons]] for a variety of technical and other problems you probably never thought of, like how this works for the color blind or those without high-quality monitors. [[User:Drmies|Drmies]] ([[User talk:Drmies|talk]]) 16:34, 11 March 2013 (UTC) |
|||
:::Florentyna, your edit is obviously based on a misreading of MOS:FLAG; as I suggested to you earlier, your line, "flags should indicate the sportsperson's representative nationality", does not reflect the MOS: there is ''nothing'' in the MOS that says that flags should be used. I'll accept your good faith, thinking that this is a language problem. I am going to revert you one more time, and urge you to actually partake in a discussion, for instance in your WikiProject.

== Overlinking == |
|||
Please read [[:WP:OVERLINK]]. Country names should not be linked for sporting events or sportspeople. [[User:Walter Görlitz|Walter Görlitz]] ([[User talk:Walter Görlitz|talk]]) 13:27, 13 September 2013 (UTC) |
|||
: This thing you understood in a wrong way. There were already heavy discussions about this, but this concerned the respective countries of the starting sportsmen, probably I will find it in the discussions. People this time deleted all appearances of the sportsmen's countries in the result lists. It is not meant to delete any appearance of a country's name in a Wikipedia article. Overlinking on the other hand means, that China would be linked too often in one chapter of one and the same article. Here China is mentioned in the infobox and in the article's header, so no overlinking is there.--[[User:Florentyna|Florentyna]] ([[User talk:Florentyna#top|talk]]) 18:28, 13 September 2013 (UTC) |
|||
:: No, ''you'' understand it in the wrong way. Overlinking means linking "the names of major geographic features and locations". China is a major location. You are discussing [[:WP:REPEATLINK]]s, which is "a link should appear only once in an article". If a sportsman represents their nation at a major international even, they may have the nation linked, but the even is never to have the nation linked, ever. I am removing it and expect you to comply with the guideline and discuss before reverting correct application of guidelines. |
|||
:: Also Peoples Republic of China redirects to China and so it's an unnecessary pipe. [[User:Walter Görlitz|Walter Görlitz]] ([[User talk:Walter Görlitz|talk]]) 18:38, 13 September 2013 (UTC) |
|||
:: The fact that Qingdao is linked immediately before "China" makes it an even more clear OVERLINK. [[User:Walter Görlitz|Walter Görlitz]] ([[User talk:Walter Görlitz|talk]]) 18:39, 13 September 2013 (UTC) |
|||
::: Nonsense. Even worse it is, that you following my last edits (Sidek family) to apply your way of thinking. [[User:Florentyna|Florentyna]] ([[User talk:Florentyna#top|talk]]) 18:44, 13 September 2013 (UTC) |
|||
:::: I'll agree that you're speaking nonsense. Perhaps you can confirm my opinion is correct by looking at at high-profile sporting even, say [[:2010 FIFA World Cup]]. |
|||
:::: As for following your edits, it's normal practice with inexperienced editors to help bring their articles into conformity. If you would rather do that yourself, that is apply [[:WP:INFOBOXFLAG]] and [[:WP:OVERLINK]], I'd be glad to let you do it. Otherwise, I'll make some time to walk through more articles in the class later. And to clarify, it's not my way of thinking, it's two very, very clear guidelines. |

:::: Also, I'm not following the discussion here. I was just coming back to offer some additional proof that nations are not linked.

:::: In fact, take a look at [[:Srikanth Kidambi]]. You edited that one and when I went to confirm that it was indeed not overlinked, I noticed two other minor issues. Feel free to check its state before my edits if you doubt. |

:::: I would be more than glad for you to provide that discussion that indicates that countries are to by wikilinked, or to discuss your objections based on policy, but if your entire argument is "nonsense", then there's nothing to discuss.

At least one question remains: Where or who is the inexperienced editor by looking at 160k edits (with only 5 % in discussions and 10k created articles) to 73k edits (with 25 % in discussions and 23 created articles)? But I agree, we can finish this discussion here, it is only about some really unimportant edits even if the edits we are talking about are in my opinion useless --[[User:Florentyna|Florentyna]] ([[User talk:Florentyna#top|talk]]) 21:20, 13 September 2013 (UTC) |

==Tang Xianhu and Hou Jiachang missing biographies== |
|||
Hello Rene, glad you could make use of those old IBF handbooks and thanks for returning them. It's always bothered me that there are no Wikipedia biographies for the two great Chinese players of the 60s and early 70s, before China's entry into the IBF, Tang Xianhu and Hou Jiachang (spelling will vary depending on date of sources). I've never felt that I had enough specific information about their accomplishments to write decent starting bios of the two. Was wondering that if you have enough information about them, you might give it a try. Best Regards.

: Yeah, it is a pity, that this book series was stopped in the 70ies. In German I wrote already some short biographies of the two players ([[:de:Tang Xianhu]], [[:de:Hou Jiachang]]) with the help of translate.google.com to know, what the sources are talking about. At least a beginning... --[[User:Florentyna|Florentyna]] ([[User talk:Florentyna#top|talk]]) 05:39, 18 October 2013 (UTC) |

New Pages Patrol newsletter April 2024[edit]
Hello Florentyna,
Backlog update: The October drive reduced the article backlog from 11,626 to 7,609 and the redirect backlog from 16,985 to 6,431! Congratulations to Schminnte, who led with over 2,300 points.
Following that, New Page Patrol organized another backlog drive for articles in January 2024. The January drive started with 13,650 articles and reduced the backlog to 7,430 articles. Congratulations to JTtheOG, who achieved first place with 1,340 points in this drive.
Looking at the graph, it seems like backlog drives are one of the only things keeping the backlog under control. Another backlog drive is being planned for May. Feel free to participate in the May backlog drive planning discussion.
It's worth noting that both queues are gradually increasing again and are nearing 14,034 articles and 22,540 redirects. We encourage you to keep contributing, even if it's just a single patrol per day. Your support is greatly appreciated!
2023 Awards
Onel5969 won the 2023 cup with 17,761 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 50/day. There was one Platinum Award (10,000+ reviews), 2 Gold Awards (5000+ reviews), 6 Silver (2000+), 8 Bronze (1000+), 30 Iron (360+) and 70 more for the 100+ barnstar. Hey man im josh led on redirect reviews by clearing 36,175 of them. For the full details, see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone for their efforts in reviewing!
WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers deployed the rewritten NewPagesFeed in October, and then gave the NewPagesFeed a slight visual facelift in November. This concludes most major work to Special:NewPagesFeed, and most major work by the WMF Moderator Tools team, who wrapped up their major work on PageTriage in October. The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers will continue small work on PageTriage as time permits.
Recruitment: A couple of the coordinators have been inviting editors to become reviewers, via mass-messages to their talk pages. If you know someone who you'd think would make a good reviewer, then a personal invitation to them would be great. Additionally, if there are Wikiprojects that you are active on, then you can add a post there asking participants to join NPP. Please be careful not to double invite folks that have already been invited.
Reviewing tip: Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages within their most familiar subjects can use the regularly updated NPP Browser tool.
Reminders:
- You can access live chat with patrollers on the New Pages Patrol Discord.
- Consider adding the project discussion page to your watchlist.
- To opt out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.
