—HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 19:25, 5 October 2015 (UTC) Anthony GillHey, sorry about pushing off the Gill article, it's just that many of the European seasons have started, which means lots of categories, etc. Also, I am in the home stretch of converting the Template:Infobox WNBA biography to basketball biography (35 to go), and I have been working on that for MONTHS. I also have a couple of other articles to create that I had put off. At any rate, I created at least a shell of an article (infobox and categories) and put it in my sandbox. If you'd like, you can build off it or I will get to it sometime between now and the end of the year.

Kazakhstan and Wikipedia: A marriage made in hell.
English speakers, like most of humanity, are primarily a northern-hemispheric people, and as autumn draws close and the days grow shorter, as a group we tend to huddle around our flickering screens and remember what matters: TV, movies, sports and, of course, crazy doomsday prophecies.

Checking Persondata before deleting?Good morning, EOTW. I just saw this edit on one of the articles on my watch list: [1]. Are you checking that all usable Persondata information has been transferred to Wikidata before deleting the Persondata template from articles? In this case, Horford's full name and birth place were not included in the Wikidata profile for the subject: [2]. I added them: [3]. It would be a big help during the Persondata transition if you could check before deleting! All Persondata templates will eventually be deleted by bot action, but thinking humans can help ensure all of the remaining core data from Persondata gets to Wikidata.

Three days at the US National Archives.
The news coverage we usually see about Wikipedia is neither in-depth, nor specialized, nor systematic.
Everyone's talking about money.
For the second consecutive week, the most viewed article had less than one million views, the only two weeks that has happened in all of 2015.

Ike Azotam expansionHello, I recently created an article for Ike Azotam, a new signee for the Island Storm. Can you please create and expand a section for his collegiate career with Quinnipiac, because I do not have time? This definitely has the potential of becoming a good article. Also, thanks for your feedback on Tyrone Garland, which is now a featured article. TempleM (talk) 17:47, 31 October 2015 (UTC) |
