You are invited to join us the "picnic anyone can edit" in Brooklyn's green Prospect Park, as part of the Great American Wiknic celebrations being held across the USA. Remember it's a wiki-picnic, which means potluck.

2–7pm - come by any time! Our reserved picnicking area is by Bartel-Pritchard Square entrance, located at Prospect Park West and 15th Street.
The picnic will be held by the park's Bartel-Pritchard Square entrance immediately on the lawn to your right as you walk through the lovely lotus columns.
Look for us by the Wikipedia / Wikimedia NYC banner!

We hope to see you there! --Pharos (talk) 08:23, 23 July 2018 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Thursday April 4 and Friday April 5: Translat-a-thon NYC 2019 @ LaGuardia Community College
LaGuardia CC E jeh.jpg

Translat-a-thon NYC 2019 @ LaGuardia Community College is hosting the second annual Wikipedia Translatathon! At this event on Thursday evening and during the day Friday this week, anyone from the public is invited to LaGuardia to join students, professors, and CUNY faculty in translating Wikipedia articles among any languages which attendees understand. Themes for this event include public health and the history of New York City.

New York City has a large immigrant population and great diversity of speakers of various languages. Among all schools in New York City, LaGuardia has the highest percentage of immigrant students, the highest percentage of students who speak a language other than English as their first language, and the greatest representation of language diversity. It is a strength of LaGuardia that it can present "Wikipedia translatathons", which are Wikipedia translation events.

ArbCom 2019 special circular[edit]

Icon of a white exclamation mark within a black triangle
Administrators must secure their accounts

The Arbitration Committee may require a new RfA if your account is compromised.

  • Use strong, unique passwords for your Wikipedia account and associated email
  • Change your password now if your Wikipedia account password or email password is reused on another website, exposed, or weak
  • Enable two-factor authentication now for improved security

This message was sent to all administrators following a recent motion. Thank you for your attention. For the Arbitration Committee, Cameron11598 02:42, 4 May 2019 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Administrator account security (Correction to Arbcom 2019 special circular)[edit]

ArbCom 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.

Saturday November 16, 12:30 pm - 4:30pm: Metropolitan Museum of Art Edit-a-thon
Metropolitan Museum of Art entrance NYC.JPG
Damascus Room MET DP240367.jpg

The Wikipedia Asian Month Edit-a-thon @ The Met will be hosted at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on Saturday November 16, 2019 in the Bonnie Sacerdote Classroom, Ruth and Harold D. Uris Center for Education (81st Street entrance) at The Met Fifth Avenue in New York City.

The museum is excited to work with Wikipedia Asian Month for the potential to seed new articles about Asian artworks, artwork types, and art traditions, from any part of Asia. These can be illustrated with thousands of its recently-released images of public domain artworks available for Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons from the museum’s collection spanning 5,000 years of art. The event is an opportunity for Wikimedia communities to engage The Met's diverse Asian collections onsite and remotely. Asia Art Archive will host a sister event in Hong Kong next week.

12:30 pm - 4:30 pm in Bonnie Sacerdote Classroom, Uris Center for Education
81st Street entrance, Metropolitan Museum of Art, 1000 Fifth Avenue


And there will be sandwiches and Wiki-Cake!

Thanks, and hope to see you there! --Wikimedia New York City Team 16:45, 14 November 2019 (UTC)

Assistance on a dispute on a page[edit]

Hi. I found you on the Editor assistance page. I was wondering if you could help me understand a situation?

At the page "Look At Her Now (Selena Gomez song)", an editor (Ss112) labeled it as a second single. I changed it one time to having it be a "promotional single" rather than second single, and this person reverted my changes. In the message that was sent to me, it was said that I should go to their talk page to discuss the content dispute with this user, which I did. Though I did not have reliable sources at the time, it was still one of my reasoning's. And despite the reasoning I had, this user deleted my entire message on their talk page and stated "I'm not insisting anything other than you and your three other edits (smells like a sock to me) and anyone else concerned get consensus on an article talk page and stop coming to my user talk page (not the place to get consensus) because you were reverted for repeated contentious changes. I'm not interested". I'm not sure if I had edited the post 3 times or if he was referring to other people who had come to his talk page before to discuss the same thing.

I wasn't necessarily mad that he deleted my message. It was more of a feeling of if he isn't interested, he should not be changing the page if he doesn't care enough to look at what I have to say.

But I decided to go on the talk page of the "Look at Her Now" article and I gave an actual video of the singer directly saying in the video that "Look at Her Now" was not the second single. I gave the video title and the time-stamp. I did a few revisions on it because I was letting my anger get the best of me, and in the first version, I had also stated that the Billboard article which was used as a source for the labeled "second single" (at the time) was not reliable as it had not directly called "Look at Her Now" a second single and that the other articles used (Pitchfork, Rolling Stone) were not reliable either as they were all secondary sources. Another editor (CountyCountry) talked to me and told me that they were reliable and referenced in a lot of Wikipedia pages, but that since I did have an actual source of the singer herself saying that "Look at Her Now" was not a second single, that it would be changed to a promotional single (which it was for a while).

User Ss112 had reverted the changes after a few days. About a week later (yesterday), I decided to do my research and I had found that Billboard, Pitchfork, and Rolling Stone were not necessarily reliable. I had written in a new comment on the talk page that the sources that called "Look at Her Now" a single (Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, and though not necessarily Billboard, it was also used as a source) were the same sources that called "Imagine" by Ariana Grande and "The Light is Coming" by Ariana Grande the second singles of their respective albums when in fact, they were only promotional singles and are only labeled as promotional singles here on Wikipedia.

These secondary sources that he has used have shown to be unreliable when it comes to what is considered a second single and a promotional single. He can not be selective when it comes to what song is an official single or promotional single for artists if the same sources that call "Look at Her Now" a single/second single are the same sources that called "The Light is Coming" and "Imagine" singles/second singles of their respective albums when they are actually promotional singles and listed as such on their respective Wikipedia articles. If he's going to label "Look at Her Now" as a second single, then the same should be done to "Imagine" and "The Light is Coming" to be fair. If he wants to put in the energy to keep changing "Look at Her Now" as a second single despite telling me that he was "not interested" in what I have to say about the contents of "Look at Her Now", he should not be editing the page and forcing the term "second single" on the page when he fails to give me a reliable source calling it a second single that hasn't been wrong before.

I have a primary source of the singer herself directly saying that "Look at Her Now" is not a second single. I said that we should only use secondary sources if we don't have primary sources, but we have a primary source. He told me that there has to be a group consensus but in my opinion, the fact of the matter is, there doesn't need to be one when the singer herself directly confirmed that "Look at Her Now" was not a second single. Do we really need to argue whether or not the singer of the song saying that "Look at Her Now" is not the second single is reliable? She's clearly right. There's no consensus needed when it came directly from her. She has also never directly called "Look at Her Now" a single but rather said it was a gift. Even her label Interscope Records never called or inferred "Look at Her Now" was a second single.

I have evidence for my claims. I have a primary source directly saying that "Look at Her Now" is not a second single. He has absolutely no reliable sources for his "second single" claim, and yet he's asking for a general consensus when there shouldn't need to be one when an official statement has been made that it is indeed not the second single. He has also ignored my reasoning's three times and just said that I needed a consensus when no one has disagreed with my evidence yet. I am absolutely disgusted at his behavior because of how much power he has on a page when he claimed that he was "not interested" in these issues. Action needs to be taken because this is absolutely disgusting and such a waste of time, but I don't want this fake information on "Look at Her Now" to go unnoticed. If you look at the changes, there are many people who have changed it to being a promotional single as Selena Gomez herself stated that "Look at Her Now" was just a gift for fans in interviews and such when she released it, and now she's recently confirmed that it is not the second single.

Go on the "Look at Her Now" page, and you won't even see a reference to the "second single" claim. There is absolutely no reliable source that claims "Look at Her Now" as the second single but there's a primary source that claims "Look at Her Now" to not be a second single, and yet we have to stick with the second single claim? Wikipedia is about giving information to the best of our knowledge. It's not about giving false knowledge, and the fact that one of the big editors refuses to listen to a primary source is disgusting for his work ethic on Wikipedia.

She will be releasing her second single in the next two weeks which will require a change of "Look at Her Now" becoming a promotional single instead of the second single, but I'd rather not let ignorance run its course. I feel like we need to change it to a promotional single now and stop being ignorant on the situation. This is a mixture of an editor that won't listen to reasoning and also having unreliable sources.

I'm sorry if I'm posting this at the wrong place. I'm new to Wikipedia and the only contribution I wanted to make was to the "Look at Her Now" page. But I need assistance in understanding if I'm wrong for disputing their secondary claims which has shown to be contradictory compared to my primary claim.

Administrators will no longer be autopatrolled[edit]

A recently closed Request for Comment (RFC) reached consensus to remove Autopatrolled from the administrator user group. You may, similarly as with Edit Filter Manager, choose to self-assign this permission to yourself. This will be implemented the week of December 13th, but if you wish to self-assign you may do so now.

Disambiguation link notification for December 14[edit]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Ali Spagnola, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Android. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

How we will see unregistered users[edit]

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)

Mink (band)[edit]

I wanted to create the above article about the American power pop band, which had four Australian members, from 2006 to 2009. However, I was instructed to contact you prior to doing so due to a previous article with that title being deleted in February 2008 due to CSD G12: Blatant copyright infringement. My proposed article is available at one of my sandboxes, here, if you wish to determine whether there is any reason for me not to proceed with its creation.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 00:44, 11 January 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hi, thanks for reaching out. The 2008 version of the article was a direct copy-paste from the band's website or press release, so it was indeed speedily deleted. The version in your sandbox looks much better. You could reach out to Wikipedia:Articles for creation to get some further help as well. Best, GlassCobra 01:45, 11 January 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Imminent suspension of administrative permissions due to inactivity[edit]

Information icon Established policy provides for the removal of the administrative permissions of users who have made fewer than 100 edits over a 60-month period. Your administrative permissions will be removed if you do not return to the required activity level before the beginning of January 2023.

Inactive administrators are encouraged to engage with the project in earnest rather than to make token edits to avoid loss of administrative permissions. Resources and support for re-engaging with the project are available at Wikipedia:WikiProject Editor Retention/administrators. If you do not intend to re-engage with the project in the foreseeable future, please consider voluntarily resigning your administrative permissions by making a request at the bureaucrats' noticeboard.

Thank you for your past contributions to the project. — JJMC89 bot 01:03, 1 December 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Your signature and linter errors[edit]

Just a reminder that your signature contains obsolete font tags. They create Linter errors, and it is advised that you change your signature to [[User:GlassCobra|<span style="color:#002bb8;">Glass</span>]]'''[[User talk:GlassCobra|<span style="color:#002bb8;">Cobra</span>]]''' ASAP.

The purpose of this message is because Linter errors affect the way the page looks, and with a lot of errors, the page may render badly. To reduce Linter errors, please change your signature. See WP:SIGFONT for more info.

If the software doesn't accept my replacement signature, let me know, and if that's the case, unfortunately you may have to change it to something else. Sheep (talk) 03:34, 5 December 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Mar 8: WikiWednesday Salon by Grand Central
The gathering is in the vicinity of Grand Central Terminal.

You are invited to join the Wikimedia NYC community and visitors from the global Wikimedia Foundation for our WikiWednesday Salon by Grand Central, in-person at Convene 101 Park Avenue in the vicinity of Manhattan's Grand Central Terminal. No experience of anything at all is required. All are welcome!

This is somewhat of a sequel to last year's Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC/Brunch in terms of the participants, though this time it is an evening event in a different borough.

We may leaven the event with a few impromptu lightning talks, a Wiki-fashion show (yes, really!), and likely an afterparty tour.

All attendees are subject to Wikimedia NYC's Code of Conduct. In addition, to participate in person you should be vaccinated and also be sure to respect others' personal space, and we may limit overall attendance size if appropriate.
