"On 1 September, the Arbitrators voted to suspend the Media Viewer case for 60 days. After the suspension period is up, the case is to be closed unless the committee votes otherwise. The case suspension comes in response to several new initiatives and policies announced by the Wikimedia Foundation that may make the case moot. In the same motion, the committee declared that Eloquence's resignation of the administrator right was "under the cloud" and that he can only regain the right through another RfA."
Two articles, one list, and ten pictures were promoted
Doc James and some collaborators are working on quick detection of copyright violations

Even though it's not quite 3/4 over, it's safe to say that 2014 will go down as a year of war, mass murder, plane crashes and terrible diseases. While certainly paying it some heed, it's not surprising that Wikipedia viewers tried this week to find any alternative to that litany of tragedy and pain, and their chosen method of escape was, as usual, celebrity.

BARB ratingsJust a note about ratings for The X-Factor, I'm not adding up the Saturday and Sunday episodes. The ratings for ITV should include ITV HD, and the time-shifted channel ITV+1 [1], so the combined numbers for X-Factor is higher (10.65 million). British TV ratings system is complicated, so I don't mind it being listed as no. 1, but you should know that there are different ways of looking at the figures [2], and reported figures for ITV and Channel 4 are often the combined figures from different channels.

Türkvizyon 2014 mapAxG, It has been brought to attention at Template talk:Infobox Eurovision/Türkvizyon 2014 that the map is not functioning properly. Since your creation last year, Germany have now joined the contest which meant the map was resized. This has resulted in the coordinates being out of sync. Is there any chance of fixing this issue? And if possible (when time is of convenience) would it be OK to possibly teach me how to add the coordinates so that if these issues arise in future that I'd be able to rectify them accordingly without having to disturb editors.

The Hindustan Times speculates (September 18) that politicians and their supporters are "sanitizing" their articles in advance of the 2014 Maharashtra State Assembly election. The Times notes the absence of significant controversies in the articles of particular politicians and the presence of heavily promotional language.
0.75% of Wikipedia birthdates are inaccurate, reported Robert Viseur at WikiSym 2014. Those inaccuracies are "low, although higher than the 0.21% observed for the baseline reference sources". Given that biographies represent 15% of English Wikipedia, the third largest category after "arts" and "culture", their accuracy is important.
This could be the beginning of a new era for this list. Until now, decisions to remove suspicious content have been largely educated guesswork. This week though, we have a new collaborator who can shine a light on the origins and patterns, sorting once and for all the webwheat from the cyberchaff.

Contributing to the Signpost can be one of the most rewarding things an editor can do.
This article was first published in the Signpost in 2009. Written by several long-standing editors, including the late Adrianne Wadewitz, the article was subjected to extensive commentary and ultimately influenced the English Wikipedia's plagiarism guideline. With recent debates about close paraphrasing vis-à-vis plagiarism, we feel that this dispatch retains its relevance and deserves a second airing.
The argument on Wikipedia over the benefits of crowdsourcing versus the primacy of "expert" contributors stretches back to co-founder Larry Sanger's break with the project to start the alternative Citizendium.
This week, the Signpost went down to the farm to have a look at the work of WikiProject Agriculture, which has been in existence since 2007 and has a scope covering crop production, livestock management, aquaculture, dairy farming and forest management.
Jews wished each other Shanah Tovah ("Good year") this week as Rosh Hashanah was our most popular article. It was also a week not dominated by heavy news and tragedies, so aside from Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (#2, sixth week in the Top 10), our popular article list runs the gamut of current events including new television series Gotham (#3), the 2014 Asian Games (#4), and Reddit-fueled popularity for German director Uwe Boll (#7).
As the hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the American Civil War draws to a close, the race to improve content continues. The Battle of Franklin, fought on November 30, 1864, will, quite appropriately, be Picture of the Day for November 30, 2014, its 150th anniversary. If you want to help commemorate the American Civil War, why not help out at the Military History WikiProject's Operation Brothers at War. Or help out with the World War I centennial, just starting up, Operation Great War Centennial.

Ebola virus disease leads the Report for the fourth straight week. The rest of the list is primarily a mix of pop culture topics, including movie Avengers: Age of Ultron (#4) whose trailer was leaked early, and the death of Oscar de la Renta (#7). A BuzzFeed article on creepy Wikipedia articles, no doubt well-timed with Halloween (#9) around the corner, was responsible for three articles in the Top 25, including June and Jennifer Gibbons (#10), Taman Shud Case (#17), Joyce Vincent (#25). And the internet-run-amok controversy of Gamergate cracked the Top 25 for the first time at #19.

"Rachel Feltman, in The Washington Post (November 4), examined research in which a team, mostly from Los Alamos National Laboratory, headed by Kyle Hickman developed a model that enabled them "to successfully predict the 2013-2014 flu season in real time" by employing "an algorithm to link flu-related Wikipedia searches with CDC data from the same time." Apparently when individuals search for information about the flu and its symptoms in Wikipedia when they feel ill, this generates data useful in forecasting the the flu season."
"It is, perhaps, ironic that humanity chose the week of Halloween to finally put its fears to bed. Let's face it: 2014 has been a year of tragedies, conflicts, plagues and pain, and eventually something had to break... Whether we at last came to terms with our limited ability to affect events, shoved those events under the carpet, or just decided to let go and move on, we turned our eye to more positive things, such as sports heroes, hotly anticipated movies, and lifelong learning; two Google doodles appeared in the top 25 for the first time since the beginning of August."

Turkvizyon map (again)Hi AxG, Sorry to bother you with yet another map issue. File:Türkvizyon 2014 map.svg needs a bit of tweaking. Someone has just put a "blob spot" on the city of Moscow, when it should be the Moscow Oblast region. Any chance of correcting it?

Other the fact I'm now having doubts on Eurovoix's reliability? First they publish news citing from a Russian website that Russia has become "Moscow". Eurovoix used Moscow City flag. I checked the Russian website and they state Moscow Oblast. Then today they [Eurovoix] publish the running order and cite Turkvizyon.tv - and also state Northern Cyprus and Tuva have withdrawn. I've just checked Turkvizyon, and they have no running order draw published. They still have Northern Cyprus and Tuva as taking part, recently publishing news of the song the Tuvan singer will perform. And to top it off, they are showing "Moscow" as "Russia" again. I'm surprised, as Eurovoix have been 100% reliable, up until these last few incidents.

And in Alexis Tsipras in Greece! And in any decent Italian politician that may appear meanwhile. So on, so on! I don't really care the Eurovision contest! The only 5 winning songs I've appreciated in the last 23 years were Insieme (1991), Nocturne (1995), The Voice (1996), Love Shine a Light (1997)... yeah, ok, that 1990s were great but not only in Eurovision, and in 2006 with the superb "Hard Rock Hallelujah". Nothing else. It's my opinion, it's obviously subjective, but I don't really care about the Eurovision, and in 24 hours you could not find a single againt my (I think it is) objective position... Like as I'd be commenting if Taiwan could considered an independent entity in an Eastern contest, or Western Sahara as an African entity. I think both are...
