Hi Argos'Dad! Sorry about the edits to the [[Scope (charity)|Scope]] page - I take your point. Would it be OK just to update that first sentence? What is currently there isn't entirely accurate. Do you think this would be ok?

'''Scope''' is a UK [[disability]] [[charitable organization|charity]] working with disabled people and their families in [[England]] and [[Wales]].

== Adding categories regarding the sexual orientation of a living person ==

This is covered by [[WP:BLPCAT]], which says "Categories regarding religious beliefs or sexual orientation should not be used unless the subject has publicly self-identified with the belief or orientation in question, and the subject's beliefs or sexual orientation are relevant to their public life or notability, according to reliable published sources." If you have added any against our BLP policy, please remove them. Thanks. [[User:Dougweller|Dougweller]] ([[User talk:Dougweller|talk]]) 12:55, 10 September 2012 (UTC)

:I appreciate your reminder of [[WP:BLPCAT]] and also appreciate your following [[WP:AGF]]. Nevertheless, to answer your specific insinuation: I am fairly certain that I have not added any categories such as you describe, for living persons.  Recently I reverted a number of category removals by [[User:Pgarret]] who removed such categories for dead people due to his personal opinion that they were not gay enough to warrant the cat.  I also reverted an edit on a living person [[Manvendra Singh Gohil]] who is an openly-gay living person for whom Pgarret changed his self-described sexuality from gay to homosexual.  Please let me know if you have any other concerns about my edits or if you are aware of a specific case in which I violated [[WP:BLPCAT]], as I will self-revert immediately.  Thanks.

== [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles|WikiProject Good articles]] (Participant Clean-Up) ==

Hello, you are receiving this message because you are currently a participant of [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles|WikiProject Good articles]]. Since the creation of the WikiProject, over 200 user's have joined to help review good article nominations and contribute to other sections of the WikiProject. Over the years, several of these users have stopped reviewing articles and/or have become inactive with the project but are still listed as participates. In order to improve communications with other participants and get newsletters sent out faster (newsletters will begin to be sent out monthly starting in October) all participants that are no longer active with the WikiProject will be removed from the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/participants|participants list]].

If you are still interested in being a participant for this WikiProject, please sign your user name [[User:Dom497/Active Good Article Participants|here]] and please help review some articles so we can reduce the size of the backlog. If you are no longer interested, you do not need to sign your name anywhere and your name will be removed from the participants list after the deadline. Remember that even if you are not interested at this time, you can always re-add your name to the list whenever you want. The deadline to sign your name on the page above will be November 1, 2012.

; Some Tips About References/Sources

Having references included in articles is one of the most important aspects to a good article, let alone Wikipedia! Without them, no one would ever know what is true and what is false and Wikipedia probably wouldn't be where it is today. So this month, I will talk about how to check for references, how reliable they are, and so on and so forth.

The first thing to do when reviewing an nominee is to do a quick scan of the article. One of the things to look for is if the article has references! If you don't see a list at the bottom of the article page, quick-fail it.<ref>Before quick-failing the article, verify that one of the several referencing templates is correctly placed at the bottom of the article. If the template is not placed, try to place it to see if references are displayed. If this proof returns no references, then proceed to quick-failing.</ref> For newcomers, quick-failing is failing an article when you spot a problem before actually conducting a full review. If you do find a list of references (and in most cases you will) make sure to look through each and every one. If you want to save some time, use [http://toolserver.org/~dispenser/view/Checklinks this tool] as it will tell you if there are any problematic references in the article you are reviewing. 

Next, check the reliability and type of the references/sources. In terms of the type of reference, check to see how many primary and/or secondary sources are included. Primary sources are the ones published by the subject of the article. For example, if the subject of the article has to do with the [[iPhone 4s]] and the source is published by [[Apple]], it is considered a primary source. Secondary sources are those ''not'' published by the subject of the article (or in close relation to it). Newspapers are examples of secondary sources and considered one of the better types to include in the article (not saying primary sources are bad). If you find that most/all of the references are primary sources, notify the nominator about this issue(s) and place the article on hold once you have completed the review. Only in the event that a secondary source can't be found as a replacement, then the primary source can remain. If there is a good mix of primary and secondary sources, that is perfect and no references need to be changed. 

Now, reliability. Forums are generally not considered reliable and some blog's may not be reliable either. Newspapers, most sources published by the subject, some blogs, etc. are considered reliable. If you don't know wether the source is reliable, ask for a second opinion. For more info about how to identify wether a reference is reliable or not, visit [[Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources|this article]].

Finally, one of the more basic things to look for is that every statement in the article has at least one reference! The only case that a statement doesn't need a reference is when it is common sense that the statement is defiantly true and/or in the case where the statement can't be challenged, as per what Wikipedia says, "All quotations and any material challenged or likely to be challenged must be attributed to a reliable published source using an inline citation."

== Virginia Senate district articles ==

I see you have started a series of articles on individual numbered [[Senate of Virginia]] districts, including members as far back as 1940. What reference do you have that indicates that Senate districts were numbered that long ago? I don't see one in any of the articles. If you look at the [[Virginia House of Delegates]]' historical member lists on their site, they don't use district numbers any further back than 1962. Frankly, I wonder if they saw the need to number the districts back when General Assembly districts were aggregations of cities and counties. [[User:Rklear|Rklear]] ([[User talk:Rklear|talk]]) 04:01, 16 November 2012 (UTC)
:Hey, Rklear:
:I am relying on a multi-volume directory called the ''General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Virginia''.  It is a register of the members of the General Assembly compiled by the Clerk of the House of Delegates.  The oldest volume I have located is for the period 1919 - 1939. The next volume is 1940 - 1960, and the final volume is for the period 1962 - 1981.  There are numbered Senate districts back at least to 1919.  You are correct that House districts were by whole counties and city for the early periods of these books, but the Senate has had districts since at least 1919.  
:I appreciate your interest in the General Assembly and hope we can work together.  I have not taken the Senate districts back before 1940 yet, because so few of the members have articles, yet.[[User:Argos'Dad|<span style="color:navy">Argos</span><span style="color:red">'</span>]][[User talk:Argos'Dad|<span style="color:black">Dad</span>]] 21:37, 16 November 2012 (UTC)
::I just started editing WP again after a lapse of about 3 years. Before I left I was trying to ensure that there were at least stub articles on every Speaker of the House of Burgesses and House of Delegates, after which I was going to start working backwards chronologically through the full membership. I never really got as far as I wanted on either of those tasks; indeed I came back to find redlinks in the current House and Senate member lists. Now that I finally have those taken care of, maybe I can get back to pursuing my previous ambitions. [[User:Rklear|Rklear]] ([[User talk:Rklear|talk]]) 21:59, 16 November 2012 (UTC)

To become a recruiter, all you have to do is meet [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/Recruitment Centre/Recruiter Central#Becoming a Recruiter|this criteria]]. If we don't get at least 5-10 recruiters to start off with, the Recruitment Centre ''will not'' open. If interested, make sure you meet the criteria, read [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/Recruitment Centre/Recruiter Central#The Process|the process]] and add your name to the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/Recruitment Centre/List of Recruiters|list of recruiters]]. (One of the great things about being a recruiter is that there is no set requirement of what must be taught and when. Instead, all the content found in the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/Recruitment Centre/Recruiter Central#The Process|process section]] is a guideline of the main points that should be addressed during a recruitment session...you can also take an entire different approach if you wish!) If you think you will not have the time to recruit any users at this time but are still interested in becoming a recruiter, you can still add your name to the list of recruiters but just fill in the "Status" parameter with "Not Available".

*'''Co-Director:''' The current Director for the centre is me (Dom497). Another user that would be willing to help with some of the tasks would be helpful. Tasks include making sure recruiters are doing what they should be (teaching!), making sure all recruitments are archived correctly, updating pages as needed, answering any questions, and distributing the feedback form. If interested, please contact [[User:Dom497|me (Dom497)]].

*'' '''Nominators, please read this:''' '' If you are not interested in becoming a recruiter, you can still help. In some cases a nominator may have an issue with an "inexperienced" editor (the recruitee) reviewing one of their nominations. To minimize the chances of this happening, if you are fine with a recruitee reviewing one of your nominations under the supervision of the recruiter, please add your name to the list at the bottom of [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/Recruitment Centre/Recruiter Central#Nominators That Are OK With A Recruitee Reviewing|this page]]. By adding your name to this list, chances are that your nomination will be reviewed more quickly as the recruitee will be asked to choose a nomination from the list of nominators that are OK with them reviewing the article.

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to [[User talk:Dom497|contact me]]. I look forward to seeing this program bring new reviewers to the Good article community and all the positive things it will bring along.

''A message will be sent out to all recruiters regarding the date when the Recruitment Centre will open when it is determined. The message will also contain some further details to clarify things that may be a bit confusing.''--[[User:Dom497|<span style="color:#1F75FE">'''Dom497'''</span>]] ([[User talk:Dom497|<span style="color:#00308F">'''talk'''</span>)]]

== GAN December 2013 Backlog Drive ==

{| {{WP:WikiProject Good articles/Shell|introduction=Hello! A [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/GAN Backlog Drives/December 2013|GAN Backlog Drive]] will begin in less than 4 days!<br/>

In past Backlog Drives, the goal was to reduce the backlog of Good article nominations. In the upcoming drive, another goal will be added - raising as much money as we can for the Wikimedia Foundation. How will this work? Well, its pretty simple. Any user interested in donating can submit a pledge at the Backlog Drive page (linked above). The pledge should mention the amount of money the user is willing to donate '''per review'''. For example, if a user pledges 5 cents per review and 100 nominations are reviewed, the total donation amount is $5.00.<br/>

At the time this message was sent out, two users have submitted pledges for a total of 8 cents per review. All pledges, no matter how much money, are greatly appreciated. Also, in no way is this saying you must make a pledge.</br>

If you have any questions, feel free to contact me or leave a message on the [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Good articles/GAN Backlog Drives/December 2013|Backlog Drive talk page]]. And remember, there are less than 4 days before the drive starts!--[[User:EdwardsBot|EdwardsBot]] ([[User talk:EdwardsBot|talk]]) 03:15, 27 November 2013 (UTC)  }}

In order to help make better use of the media, an attempt has been made by an automated process to identify and add certain information to the media's description page.

This notification is placed on your talk page because a bot has identified you either as the uploader of the file, or as a contributor to its metadata.  It would be appreciated if you could carefully review the information the bot added. To opt out of these notifications, please follow the instructions [[User:Theo's Little Bot/opt-out|here]].

== March 2014 GAN Backlog Drive ==

It's that time again! Starting on March 1, there will be another GAN Backlog Drive! There will be several changes compared to previous drives:

*This drive will introduce a new component to it; a point system. In a nutshell, older nominations are worth more points than newer nominations. The top 3 participants who have the points will be awarded the Golden, Silver, or Bronze Wikipedia Puzzle Piece Trophy, respectively. 
*Unlike the December 2013 Backlog Drive, earning an additional barnstar if you reached your goal has been removed.
*The allowance to have insufficient reviews has been lowered to 2 before being disqualified.
*An exception to the rule that all reviews must be completed before the deadline has been created.

Also, something that I thought I would share with all of you is that we raised $20.88 (USD) for the WMF in the December 2013 drive. It may not sound like a lot but considering that that was raised just because we reviewed articles, I would say that's pretty good! With that success, pledges can be made for the upcoming drive if you wish.

More info regarding the drive and full descriptions regarding the changes to this drive can be found on the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/GAN Backlog Drives/March 2014|the drive page]]. If you have any questions, feel free to leave a message on the drive talk page.

I look forward to your participation and hope that because of it, some day the backlog will be gone!

== An exciting month of wiki events! ==

<div style="background: #EFFDF5; padding:3em; font-family:'Helvetica Neue',sans-serif; font-size:110%;">
Hello there,

I am pleased to say that April will be a ''very'' exciting month for Wikipedia in Washington, DC. We have a lot of different events coming up, so you will have a lot to choose from.

First, a reminder that our second annual '''[[Wikipedia:Meetup/DC/Women in the Arts 2014|Women in the Arts Edit-a-Thon]]''' will take place on Sunday, March 30 at the National Museum of Women in the Arts.

Coming up in April, we have our first-ever '''[https://www.eventbrite.com/e/open-government-wikihack-tickets-10862424805 Open Government WikiHack]''' with the Sunlight Foundation on April 5–6! We are working together to use open government data to improve the Wikimedia projects, and we would love your help. All are welcome, regardless of coding or editing experience. We will also be having a '''[[Wikipedia:Meetup/DC/Sunlight Foundation Happy Hour|happy hour]]''' the day before, with refreshments courtesy of the Sunlight Foundation.

On Friday, April 11 we are having our first edit-a-thon ever with the Library of Congress. The '''[[Wikipedia:Meetup/DC/Africa Collection Editathon|Africa Collection Edit-a-Thon]]''' will focus on the Library's African and Middle East Reading Room. It'll be early in the morning, but it's especially worth it if you're interested in improving Wikipedia's coverage of African topics.

The following day, we are having our second annual '''[[Wikipedia:Meetup/DC/Wiki Loves Capitol Hill 2014|Wiki Loves Capitol Hill]]''' training. We will discuss policy issues relevant to Wikimedia and plan for our day of outreach to Congressional staffers that will take place during the following week.

There are other meetups in the works, so be sure to check our [[Wikipedia:Meetup/DC|meetup page]] with the latest. I hope to see you at some of these events!

All the best,<br />[[User:Harej|James Hare]]

== WikiProject Good articles Future GAN Backlog Drive ==

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

[[User:TheQ Editor|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 [[Wikipedia:WikiCup|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, [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/GA Cup|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 [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Good articles/GA Cup|here]]. Please let us know if you are interested, have any concerns, things to consider, etc.

--Dom497, Figureskatingfan, and TheQ Editor

== Wikimedia DC invites revolutionaries, free thinkers, and other sundry editors to a DC WikiSalon ==

The WikiSalon is a special meetup usually held during the first and third full weeks of every month, from 7 PM to 9 PM. It's an informal gathering of Wikimedia enthusiasts, who come together to discuss Wikimedia wikis and collaboratively edit. There's no set agenda, and guests are welcome to recommend articles for the group to edit or edit on their own.

If you're coming by Metro, the closest station is Dupont Circle (on the Red Line). If you're driving, a lot of parking opens up downtown after 6:30 PM, so finding a parking space (even a free one) should be easy. Once you've found the building, go to Cove on the second floor. We will be in the conference room.
 
'''When''': Wednesday, September 17, 2014 at 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM

'''Where''':  The Cove, Dupont Circle, 1730 Connecticut Avenue NW, 2nd floor, 20009, DC

WikiProject Good articles is holding a new competition, the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/GA Cup|'''GA Cup''']], from October 1, 2014 - March 28, 2015. The Cup will be based on reviewing [[WP:GAN|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! [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/GA Cup/Sign-up|Sign-ups]] will be open until October 15, 2014 so sign-up now!

If you have any questions, take a look at the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/GA Cup/FAQ|FAQ page]] and/or contact one of the four judges.

==Copyright issue==
Hello, Argos'Dad. I was asked to look at the above article after sections were removed as taken from the TSA, and I happened to note that [[Secretary of State of Texas]] seems to have been copied in large part (or entirely) from official sources. I can't find any sign that the Secretary of State of Texas releases copyright to its content; I did find evidence that the government of Texas typically does not. (Please see the bottom of [http://www.texas.gov/en/about/pages/default.aspx].) If you can shed any light on this, including offering reason why we may be able to retain the text, please leave a note at the article's talk page. If this was based on a mistaken understanding of the copyright status of the source material and you would like to contribute a rewrite, please do so at [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Secretary_of_State_of_Texas/Temp&action=edit&preload=Template:Copyvio/preload the designated temporary space].

Thank you for uploading [[:File:Amenhotep3.jpg]]. I noticed that you licensed it as {{tl|PD-art}}. However, you must not have read [https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:When_to_use_the_PD-Art_tag#This_does_not_apply_to_photographs_of_3D_works_of_art this] - that PD-art does not apply to images of three-dimensional art. That was eight years ago. If you have since learned about how PD-art only applies to images of two-dimensional art, you did not relicense the photo (which you seem to have took). You're the only person with authority to relicense it (as CC, PD-self or another acceptable free license) so you ''may'' have to do so. <!--Judging by my previous experiences like this one, I predict that they won't respond to this comment anytime soon.

[[File:Copyright-problem.svg|64px|left|alt=|link=]]
Thank you for uploading '''[[:File:Ondcp seal.jpg]]'''. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the [[copyright]] status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the [[:File:Ondcp seal.jpg|image description page]].

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a [[Wikipedia:Requests for undeletion|request for undeletion]] and ask for a chance to fix the problem.<!-- Template:You can request undeletion -->

==Europe 10,000 Challenge invite==
Hi. The [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge]] has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland [[Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge]]. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like [[Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic)]]. For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon]], sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. --[[User:Ser Amantio di Nicolao|<span style="font-family:Old English Text MT;">Ser Amantio di Nicolao</span>]]<sup>[[User_talk:Ser Amantio di Nicolao|''Che dicono a Signa?'']]</sup><sub>[[Special:Contributions/Ser Amantio di Nicolao|'''Lo dicono a Signa.''']]</sub> 02:19, 6 November 2016 (UTC)

==File source problem with File:Thyella ship.jpg==
[[File:Copyright-problem.svg|64px|left|alt=|link=]]
Thank you for uploading '''[[:File:Thyella ship.jpg]]'''. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the [[copyright]] status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the [[:File:Thyella ship.jpg|image description page]].

If the necessary information is not added within the next seven days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a [[Wikipedia:Requests for undeletion|request for undeletion]] and ask for a chance to fix the problem.<!-- Template:You can request undeletion -->

Please refer to the '''[[WP:IUP#Adding images|image use policy]]''' to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is [[Special:ListFiles/Argos%27Dad|a list of your uploads]]. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the [[Wikipedia:Media copyright questions|Media copyright questions page]].

== [[Wikipedia:The World Destubathon|The World Destubathon]] ==
Hello. You're invited to participate in The World Destubathon. We're aiming to destub a lot of articles and also improve longer stale articles. It will be held from Monday June 16 - Sunday July 13. There is over $3300 going into it, with $500 the top prize. If you are interested in winning something to save you money in buying books for future content, or just see it as a good editathon opportunity to see a lot of articles improved for subjects which interest you, sign up on the page in the participants section if interested. Even if you can only manage a few articles they would be very much appreciated and help make the content produced as diverse and broad as possible! ♦ [[User talk:Dr. Blofeld|<span style="font-variant:small-caps;color:#aba67e">''Dr. Blofeld''</span>]] 18:22, 15 June 2025 (UTC)
