Disambiguation link notification for July 23

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Papal election, 1118, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Subiaco. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

New huggle 3.1 is going to be released soon

Hi M.O.X, we are to release a new major version of huggle, but we did receive almost no feedback from our beta testing team, which you are a part of (see https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Huggle/Members). It would be of a great help if you could download it (if you have windows, all you need to do is getting http://tools.wmflabs.org/huggle/files/huggle3.1.0beta.exe and putting it to a folder where you have installed huggle) and test it. You can always get a help with making it @ #huggle ^connect!

Major changes:

Multisite support - you can now log in to unlimited number of wikis in 1 huggle session and get a huge queue of all edits made to these wikis. This is good for smaller projects which gets overlooked often.
Ranged diffs - you can select multiple revisions and get a huge diff that display all changes done to them.
Fixes of most of bug reports we had so far

In case you found a bug, please report it to bugzilla: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/buglist.cgi?product=Huggle&list_id=147663 thank you! Petrb (talk) 10:11, 30 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject Good articles Future GAN Backlog Drive

Hello everyone! Hope you've all been having a great summer!

TheQ Editor recently proposed the idea of having another Backlog Drive in either September/October or November/December of this year. For those of you who have participated in the past two drives you know I was the one who organized them, however, come September, this will be my most important year in school so I will not be able to coordinate this drive (if it happens). TheQ Editor has volunteered to be a coordinator for the drive. If any of you would like to co-coordinator, please notify TheQ Editor on his talk page.

If you would be interested in participating in a Backlog Drive sometime before the end of this year, please notify TheQ Editor. Also, make sure to specify what month(s) work best for you.

At the time this message was sent out, the backlog was at 520 nominations. Since May, the backlog has been steadily increasing and we are currently near an all time high. Even though the backlog will not disappear over one drive, this drive can lead to several others which will (hopefully) lead to the day where there is no longer a backlog.

As always, the more participants, the better, and everyone is encouraged to participate!

GA Cup

Hello everyone! We hope you have all been having a great summer!

As we all know, the recent GAN Backlog Drives have not had any big impact on the backlog. Because of that, me (Dom497), Figureskatingfan, and TheQ Editor have worked on an idea that could possibly finally put a dent into the massive backlog. Now, I will admit, the idea isn't entirely ours as we have took the general idea of the WikiCup and brought it over to WikiProject Good Articles. But anyways, here's what we have in mind:

For all of you that do not know what the WikiCup is, it is an annual competition between several editors to see who can get the most Good Articles, Featured Article's, Did You Know's, etc. Based of this, we propose to you the GA Cup. This competition will only focus on reviewing Good articles.

For more info on the proposal, click here. As a FYI, the proposal page is not what the final product will look like (if you do go ahead with this idea). It will look very similar to WikiCup's page(s).

The discussion for the proposal will take place here. Please let us know if you are interested, have any concerns, things to consider, etc.

WikiCup 2014 August newsletter

The final of the 2014 WikiCup begins in a few short minutes! Our eight finalists are listed below, along with their placement in Round 4:

Godot13 (submissions), a WikiCup newcomer, finished top of Pool A and was the round's highest scorer. Godot is a featured picture specialist, claiming large numbers of points due to high-quality scans of historical documents, especially banknotes.
Casliber (submissions) is a WikiCup veteran, having been a finalist every year since 2010. In the semi-final, he was Pool B's highest scorer. Cas's points primarily come from articles on the natural sciences.
Czar (submissions) was Pool A's runner-up. Czar's points come mostly from content related to independent video games, including both articles and topics.
Adam Cuerden (submissions) was Pool B's runner-up. Another featured picture specialist, many of Adam's points come from the restoration of historical media. He has been a WikiCup finalist twice before.
Cwmhiraeth (submissions) won the WikiCup in 2012 and 2013, and enters this final as the first wildcard. She focuses on biology-related articles, and has worked on several high-importance articles.
12george1 (submissions) is the second wildcard. George's points come primarily from meteorology-related articles. This year and last year, George was the first person in the competition to score.
Sturmvogel 66 (submissions), the third wildcard, was the 2010 champion and a finalist last year. His writes mostly on military history, especially naval history.
Bloom6132 (submissions), the fourth and final wildcard, has participated in previous WikiCups, but not reached any finals. Bloom's points are mostly thanks to did you knows, featured lists and good articles related to sport and national symbols.

We say goodbye to this year's semi-finalists. Matty.007 (submissions), ThaddeusB (submissions), WikiRedactor (submissions), Figureskatingfan (submissions), Yellow Evan (submissions), Prism (submissions) and Cloudz679 (submissions) have all performed well to reach this stage of the competition, and we hope they will all be joining us again next year.

There are two upcoming competitions unrelated to the WikiCup which may be of interest to those who receive this newsletter. The Stub Contest will run through September, and revolves around expanding stub articles, especially high-importance or old stubs. In addition, a proposal has been made for a new competition, the GA Cup, which the organisers plan to run next year. This competition is based on the WikiCup and aims to reduce the good article review backlog.

There is now a thread for brainstorming on how next year's WikiCup competition should work. Please come along and share your thoughts- What works? What doesn't work? What needs changing? Signups for next year's competition will be open soon; we will be in touch. If, at this stage of the competition, you are keen to help the with the WikiCup, please do what you can to participate in review processes. Our finalists will find things much easier if the backlogs at good article candidates, featured article candidates, featured picture candidates and the rest are kept at a minimum. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

I would have used the ping thanks but it does not include my sentiments that I appreciate the time you took to add this. Much appreciated. MarnetteD|Talk 02:50, 2 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Not a problem at all. I figured it was an important enough detail that there should have been independent, reliable sources for it. James ^{(T • C)} • 1:54pm • 02:54, 2 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

File:Karam Singh Portrait.jpg

This image File:Karam Singh Portrait.jpg is being used under Fair Use similar to File:Param veer chakra.gif. It says clearly that it is a copyrighted image and it's being used under fair use. Just like images of James Foley (journalist) and As stated clearly in the file page, it is only being used in the infobox for identification of a deceased person(purpose). This is the only reliable source(indian army website) from which an image can be obtained, therefore it is not replaceable. All others are unreliabe, lack author information or are simply blogs etc. How does this not meet fair use rationale? To be quite honest, this matter is taking up so much of my personal time that I am no longer enjoying being a Wikipedia editor since it is turning into quite a hassle.Myopia123 (talk) 02:53, 10 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Are you confusing it with the earlier file I had uploaded with a mistaken understanding of copyright, which WAS deleted?Myopia123 (talk) 02:54, 10 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Further Clarification, File:Karam Singh Portrait.jpg was uploaded under Fair Use and File:Karam Singh.jpg was uploaded with a mistaken understanding of copyright along with a whole bunch of other pictures.

WikiProject Good Articles - GA Cup

WikiProject Good Articles's 2014-15 GA Cup

WikiProject Good articles is holding a new competition, the GA Cup, from October 1, 2014 - March 28, 2015. The Cup will be based on reviewing Good article nominations; for each review, points will be awarded with bonuses for older nominations, longer articles and comprehensive reviews. All participants will start off in one group and the highest scoring participants will go through to the second round. At the moment six rounds are planned, but this may change based on participant numbers.

Some of you may ask: what is the purpose for a competition of this type? Currently, there is a backlog of about 500 unreviewed Good article nominations, almost an all time high. It is our hope that we can decrease the backlog in a fun way, through friendly competition.

Everyone is welcome to join; new and old editors! Sign-ups will be open until October 15, 2014 so sign-up now!

If you have any questions, take a look at the FAQ page and/or contact one of the four judges.

Cheers from NickGibson3900, Dom497, TheQ Editor and Figureskatingfan.

Archbishop Fisher

This request for help from administrators has been answered. If you need more help or have additional questions, please reapply the {{admin help}} template, or contact the responding user(s) directly on their own user talk page.

Please see the RFC discussion at Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Biographies#Inclusion of future job positions in infobox, list, etc.. Thanks. Elizium23 (talk) 16:22, 19 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

That's irrelevant. This is not a job position. He has been appointed, so that's final. Installation is a formality. Asking for admin help on this matter once again. James ^{(T • C)} • 7:27 AM • 21:27, 19 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Elizium23: http://www.vatican.va/archive/ENG1104/_PH.HTM

Can. 147 The provision of an ecclesiastical office is made: through free conferral by a competent ecclesiastical authority; through installation by the same authority if presentation preceded it; through confirmation or admission granted by the same authority if election or postulation preceded it; finally, through simple election and acceptance by the one elected if the election does not require confirmation.

"Free conferral by a competent ecclesiastical authority" has occurred, therefore, installation is now simply a formality. James ^{(T • C)} • 7:41 AM • 21:41, 19 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Also, I find it incredibly condescending of you to presume I do not know Wikipedia's basic policies and guidelines and to post a warning template. A message would have sufficed James ^{(T • C)} • 8:08 AM • 22:08, 19 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Additionally, the Archdiocesan Twitter account mentions him as the "Archbishop-elect" and the "new Archbishop." As I said before, installation/enthronement is a formality. I quote: "Anthony Fisher calls for harmony in first address as archbishop of Sydney." Keywords: "as archbishop of Sydney." James ^{(T • C)} • 9:02 AM • 23:02, 19 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

http://www.intratext.com/ixt/ENG0017/_P1G.HTM

Can. 418 §1 Within two months of receiving certain notification of transfer, the Bishop must proceed to the diocese to which he has been transferred and take canonical possession of it. On the day on which he takes possession of the new diocese, the diocese from which he has been transferred becomes vacant.

§2 In the period between receiving certain notification of the transfer and taking possession of the new diocese, in the diocese from which he is being transferred the Bishop:

1° has the power, and is bound by the obligations, of a diocesan Administrator; all powers of the Vicar general and of the episcopal Vicar cease, without prejudice to can. 409 §2;

http://www.intratext.com/ixt/ENG0017/_P1D.HTM

Can. 382 §1 A person who is promoted to the episcopate cannot become involved in the exercise of the office entrusted to him before he has taken canonical possession of the diocese. However, he is able to exercise offices which he already held in the same diocese at the time of his promotion, without prejudice to can. 409 §2.

§2 Unless he is lawfully impeded, one who is not already consecrated a Bishop and is now promoted to the office of diocesan Bishop, must take canonical possession of his diocese within four months of receiving the apostolic letters. If he is already consecrated, he must take possession within two months of receiving the apostolic letters.

§3 A Bishop takes canonical possession of his diocese when, personally or by proxy, he shows the apostolic letters to the college of consultors, in the presence of the chancellor of the curia, who makes a record of the fact. This must take place within the diocese. In dioceses which are newly established he takes possession when he communicates the same letters to the clergy and the people in the cathedral church, with the senior of the priests present making a record of the fact.

§4 It is strongly recommended that the taking of canonical possession be performed with a liturgical act in the cathedral church, in the presence of the clergy and the people.

You will need to provide reliable secondary sources which indiciate that Fisher has taken canonical possession of the Archdiocese of Sydney. Inaccurate newsy reports which say he's the "new archbishop" don't count at all. Elizium23 (talk) 23:33, 19 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Elizium23: They came from the Sydney Archdiocese and the Vatican Press Office, hardly "newsy reports". James ^{(T • C)} • 2:28 PM • 04:28, 20 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Where do they assert that he has taken canonical possession of the see? That would be acceptable evidence. Elizium23 (talk) 05:52, 20 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Again, you have failed to address Canon 147. Additionally, the templates never ASSERTED that he was Archbishop in full. But, given you've selectively ignored what I have quoted and said, that would not surprise me. James ^{(T • C)} • 8:04 PM • 10:04, 20 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Canon 147 clearly does not apply when there are much more specific canons such as the ones I have quoted. The election of a Pope, for example, not governed by Canon 147, but different from the election of a bishop, is effective as soon as the candidate says "I accept". The Pope's inauguration/installation is merely a formality. Similarly, I believe Anglican bishops are appointed in a way that differs from Catholic bishops. So I can certainly understand your confusion on these points, but I assure you that a careful reading of these Canons I have posted will clear up any remaining confusion. Thanks. Elizium23 (talk) 17:22, 21 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Elizium23: I discussed this with one of the Archdiocesan Canon Lawyers (who serves as the Assistant Priest at my parish) and he did indeed confirm this much. I apologise if at any point in this conversation I appeared to be rude, that was not my intention. He did discuss that, nominally, Bishop Fisher is Archbishop-elect and could, therefore, be listed as "Archbishop-elect," which is what the template did, initially. But that it would have to be clear that, pending the ceremony of installation, he is not Archbishop as such. Either way, having clarified this all, I believe we should, for the sake of perfect clarity, leave things as is. James ^{(T • C)} • 10:15 AM • 00:15, 25 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I am closing the "admin help" request, because nowhere can I see any question requiring administrative help. If you think there is an issue requiring an administrator, then please place a new "admin help" request, explaining clearly what you are asking for, and why it requires an administrator. If you are unsure what tasks can be performed only by administrators, then have a look at Wikipedia:Administrators#Administrators' abilities, and perhaps also at [Wikipedia:Administrators/Tools]]. If you are requesting something listed there, then please state which one. If you want something which is not listed there, then an administrator is no more able to help than any other experienced and competent editor. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 15:25, 21 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

That is fine, the issue has been resolved and clarification given. Thanks anyway, @JamesBWatson:. James ^{(T • C)} • 10:15 AM • 00:15, 25 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding deletion of change the first line and adding a subtitle ' Launch of the Campaign' in Make in India page

Hello James I am a new user on wikipedia...i just joined today, I edited the article Make in India but it was deleted by you. I am not sure why my article got deleted, did i do any rules violation??? Thank You Sukrut Phansalkar (talk) 04:38, 2 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Sukrut Phansalkar: The edit summary I used was incorrect, but by the time I realised, the edit had already gone through. The problem with your edit, was firstly, that it was poorly sourced - the only reliable source used was the Times of India article. Zee News is not a reliable source. As for the content, it was repetitive in nature. It did not add much in the way of new content beyond the blockquote, which itself adds nothing new to the article.

On my part, I apologise for using an incorrect and insufficiently clear edit summary. Regards, James ^{(T • C)} • 3:10 PM • 05:10, 2 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@M.O.X: Thank You James,for your reply...I read about the Adoption on the User Page of yours.As i am new i would like to become an adoptee of yours till i get used to the rules.But i cannot edit the form that is given. What should i do about it??

Sukrut Phansalkar (talk) 05:42, 2 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I believe that is because you are not yet an autoconfirmed user. If your account is not yet 7 days old and has not made 10 edits, it is not yet autoconfirmed and thus cannot edit semi-protected pages (which all my userspace pages, barring this talk page, are). When the seven days elapse (as would be necessary in order for you to undertake some of the adoption tasks, I would happily assist you in a mentor capacity!
