Public Domain Day—January 1, 2014—gives me an opportunity to reflect on this important asset, mandated by the Constitution of the United States.
The various maladies that befall humanity got some well-known faces this week: the death of the well-liked actor James Avery topped the list, but Michael Schumacher, who is in a coma after a skiing accident, also drew attention.

January 2014Hello, I am Parks. I have noticed that you believe what I have written is incorrect or biased. While it is true that everyone, including me, holds an opinion, using a watchdog group as a reference does not automatically convey that it is invalid. Many sources are very biased, but as long as they aren't deceitful, they are worthy of sourcing. That said, while the Humane Society of the United States claims to be an animal welfare group, they have an unheard of anti-pet agenda and many controversial programs.[1] Thank you. http://www.humanesociety.org/ is not a good source for this information, they have a very obscure pro-animal liberation bias. Parks1997 (talk) 03:16, 9 January 2014 (UTC)
Parks, you have just been editing out my additions to the article on HSUS, without grounds, save perhaps for that you don't like HSUS. I sourced these items properly and many had to do with current programs. i used no sources from HSUS itself to demonstrate them. I also left intact your references from Humanewatch although I don't think that they would meet anyone's test of non-bias. Please do not vandalize my edits when they are consistent with the wikipedia rules. vetman Vetman (talk) 14:26, 16 January 2014 (UTC)

Wikimedia Germany, the largest national affiliate, has authored an extensive critique of the Funds Dissemination Committee's process for issuing funding recommendations for the various large organizations in the movement.
The proposed schedule for the MediaWiki Archicture Summit has been published. The two main plenary sessions will be about HTML templating, and Service-oriented architecture.
It is heavily ironic that two decades after the World Wide Web was started — largely to make it easier to share scholarly research — most of our past and present research publications are still hidden behind paywalls for private profit. The bitter twist is that the vast majority of this research is publicly funded, to the tune of hundreds of billions of dollars worldwide each year.

A particularly esoteric anthology of speculative fiction, filled with imaginary Wikipedia entries from, as the introduction puts it, "the many Wikipedias across the Multiverse."
The Wikimedia Foundation's Director of Community Advocacy's application of pending changes level two on the article Conventional PCI—an action taken under its rarely used office actions policy—has escalated to the Arbitration Committee after an editor upgraded it to full protection.
Fifteen articles, nine lists, twenty pictures, and one topic were promoted to "featured" status on the English Wikipedia over the last two weeks.
On 15 January, Wikipedia turned thirteen years old. In that time, this site has grown from a small site that was known to only a select few to one of the most popular websites on the internet. At the same time, recent data suggests that there is a power curve among users, where the comparative few who are writing most of Wikipedia have most of the edits. The result of this is that there is going to be bias in what is created, and how we deal with it as Wikipedians is indicative of the future of the site. Furthermore, this brings up what we have to do in order to combat this bias, as there are many ideas, but the question is whether they will work or not.
This week we're interviewing Brion Vibber about the then-upcoming Architecture Summit. Brion is a long time Wikipedian, the first employee of the Wikimedia Foundation, and currently the lead software architect working with the mobile team.

Now! I am also an aspiring editor, and I hope that I will be seen as being fair and adhering to Wikipedia's ethical policies. Just wielding your powers for yeilding sake is an abuse of power and it is against Wikipedia's policies. If you Bothered to take the time to read the correspondence between myself and Wgolf you would realise that Wgolf KINDLY asked me to categorise my Article- Something that such an EXPERT like you did not pick up on. Thanking him and asking him to remove the box was purely based on the Box regarding the categorization. I Was at no point referring to the hideous box at the top. But people like you and Santaku and Huon on the live desk are DRUNK with power! I am systematically and speedily working on my referencing so that I can move to other articles. But when people like yourselves try and make it harder for people tp progress to the next stage then it becomes PERSONAL. If you do not like the way I work or other people work Wikipedia has a method of Arbitration.

Hello Howicus, Thanks for your response and all points have been noted. in future, I would endear you to take the time to check an editor's history so that you will be well informed of all correspondence! That way, we can avoid unnecessary editorial conflicts and possible vandalism. I say this because if you had checked Wgolf or my history, you would have noticed that I told him I was working on the referencing. You could have then given me some time to work on it rather than overriding Wgolf's action .That is what I mean by abuse of power. The fact that we can slap boxes on each other's work doesn't mean that we shouldn't have any relational ethics. Perhaps we can achieve more. For the record, I do not feel bullied or harassed at all- I was just drawing your attention to proper working relations among editors. I have pasted the guidelines that hopefully we should all be working towards. This article refers to the General standards and the declining of a submission. However, for the purposes of this correspondence I am referring to the General Standards and I hope this clears up the confusion. I hope to cite all my sources today after which I will alert you and kindly ask you to remove the box. Looking forward to working with you and meeting some other editors at the tea house. From one editor to another, Cowhen1966Cowhen1966 (talk) 16:09, 15 February 2014 (UTC) (UTC)General standards and invalid reasons for declining a submission Information.svg AfC participants should follow the standards set by the standard policies and guidelines for what makes an acceptable article. As a rule of thumb, article submissions that have at least a 50% chance of surviving an AfD nomination should be accepted and published to mainspace. If you're unsure whether a particular submission should be accepted or declined, ask for advice from other reviewers at the project's talk page. Also, for submissions about particularly specialized subjects, consider asking for assistance on the talk page of a relevant WikiProject. Avoid the following errors Avoid declining an article because it correctly uses general references to support some or all of the material. The content and sourcing policies require inline citations for only four specific types of material, most commonly: direct quotations and contentious material (whether negative, positive, or neutral) about living persons. Avoid declining an article that meets the criteria for requiring inline citations because you wrongly assumed that the absence of little blue numbers meant that no inline citations existed. The use of <ref> tags, although popular, is not required. Editors may choose any form of inline citation, not just the most popular one. Many new editors choose a different style, and their choice is officially protected by Wikipedia's citation guidelines. Avoid declining an article because the references contain bare URLs or other reference formatting problems. Instead, run the Reflinks Tool or tag the article with
or
. Declining an article because it contains formatting issues, such as no wikilinks to other articles, or because it has no sections, is not acceptable. Instead, fix it yourself, or accept the article and tag it with maintenance templates to alert other editors to the one or two issues that you believe need to be resolved first. Declining an article because you personally don't like the citation style or formatting is not acceptable. Avoid declining an article because the reliable sources are not free or online. Books, magazines, and other print-only sources are perfectly acceptable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cowhen1966 (talk • contribs) 20:04, 15 February 2014Cowhen1966 (talk) 20:16, 15 February 2014 (UTC) Intention is for INFORMATION ONLY ( THIS IS NOT AN ARTICLE)Cowhen1966 (talk) 20:41, 15 February 2014 (UTC) Howicus, I have qouted all the sources I used to write the article.

Now, I can get on with some REAL work and help others quote their sources appropriately. Thanks for the heads up! Much appreciated and hope there are no hard feelings. The last thing we want is to get into juvenile editorial conflict. At least you have saved me from getting sued or from any possible libel. Do remove the box as soon as you get a minute.

24 hours is more than enough to remove the template. If you do not remove the template, then you will begin an edit warring seeing as your reason for putting the template on my article is subjective. I have seen the articles you have created some of which have even been declined. I sincerely want to treat you with good faith and adopt good practice. I expect you to act as hastily as you did to vandalise my article by removing the box. I have cited Independent sources so if you dont like them that is your problem. The rest is subjectiveCowhen1966 (talk) 00:29, 16 February 2014 (UTC)
Wikipedia has many policies and guidelines about encyclopedic content. These standards require verifiability, neutrality, respect for living people, and more. The policies, guidelines, and process pages themselves are not part of the encyclopedia proper. Consequently, they do not generally need to conform with the content standards. It is therefore not necessary to provide reliable sources to verify Wikipedia's administrative pages, or to phrase Wikipedia procedures or principles in a neutral manner, or to cite an outside authority in determining Wikipedia's editorial practices. Instead, the content of these pages is controlled by community-wide consensus, and the style should emphasize clarity, directness, and usefulness to other editors.[2] These pages do, however, need to comply with Wikipedia's legal and behavioral policies, as well as policies applicable to non-content pages. For example, editors may not violate copyrights anywhere on Wikipedia, and edit warring is prohibited everywhere, not merely in encyclopedia articles. Oh and by the way, I DO FEEL BULLIIED AND HARRASSED BY YOURSELF AND SITEKU. Why did you remove my template? Are you starting an editting war?Cowhen1966 (talk) 03:54, 16 February 2014 (UTC)

Ukraine has been gripped by widespread protests over the past three months. Due to a decision by former president Viktor Yanukovych—at Russia's urging—to abandon integration with the European Union, the country was (and in many ways still is) split between the Europe-favoring Ukrainian-speaking western half and the Russian-speaking east and south. Hundreds have died during the unrest, leaving thousands of family members and friends to bury their loved ones. This week our Wikimedian colleagues in Ukraine are facing that challenge after the death of one of their own.

There's nothing like a good old bit of Cold War nostalgia, combined with a suitably scary international incident, to focus our attention on the real world. That said, nothing could stem our outpouring of affection for the beloved comedian Harold Ramis, whose death managed to top the week in the face of those international concerns.
Current discussions on the English Wikipedia include...
This week, the Signpost caught up with the Wikipedia Library (TWL), which aims to connect reference resources with Wikipedia editors who can use them to improve articles.

This week, we visited WikiProject History, an ancient project with roots dating back to 2001. The project is home to 196 pieces of Featured material and 483 Good and A-class articles independent of the vast accomplishments of its various child projects. WikiProject History maintains a lengthy list of tasks, oversees the history portal, and continues to build Wikipedia's outline of history.

Again, many, many thanks. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 06:02, 26 March 2014 (UTC) The Ribbon InternationalThe tags have only been on the page for three days. Now he is threatening to edit. I have seen tags on pages that have been there for years. I work during the day, and have to take time out for all this chat on talk pages. Apparently he doesn't have a life other than Wikipedia, which I do. As I mentioned numerous times the people involved in "The Ribbon" are in their 60s and 70s and not computer savvy that is why I have been the only person working on the page. The person who has been working on the page with me is not computer savvy, as you know she load three pictures in a PDF file. She also works during the day and has a life other than Wikipedia. She will be retiring from her job this week and will have more time to work on the page.

The Signpost: 26 March 2014
April Fools' Day is rapidly approaching. Every year, members of the community pull pranks and make (or attempt to make) humorous edits to pages across the project. Every year, the community follows April Fools' Day with a contentious debate about whether or not it is necessary to impose limits on April Fools' Day jokes for future years. It is a polarizing issue.
Topics like the 2014 Crimea crisis or the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 eased down the list, making way for such traditional topics as St Patrick's Day, Reddit threads and even Google Doodles, which have reappeared after a long absence.
Have you wondered about differences in the articles on Crimea in the Russian, Ukrainian, and English versions of Wikipedia? A newly published article entitled "Lost in Translation: Contexts, Computing, Disputing on Wikipedia" doesn't address Crimea, but nonetheless offers insight into the editing of contentious articles in multiple language editions through a heavy qualitative examination of Wikipedia articles about the Kosovo in the Serbian, Croatian, and English editions.
Results for the two-stage 2013 Commons Picture of the Year have been announced. This year's winning photograph (above) shows a lightbulb that has been cracked, allowing inert gas to escape—and oxygen to enter, so that the tungsten filament burns. From the flames rise elegant curls of blue smoke.
Four articles, two lists, and twelve pictures were promoted to "featured" status on the English Wikipedia this week.
On 3 April, we will roll out some changes to the typography of Wikipedia's default Vector skin, to increase readability for users on all devices and platforms. After five months of testing, four major iterations, and through close collaboration with the global Wikimedia community, who provided more than 100 threads of feedback, we’ve arrived at a solution which improves the primary reading and editing experience for all users.
As you have probably read on this weeks op-ed, or via various other channels of announcement, 3 April will see the introduction of the Typography refresh (or update) for the Vector skin on all Wikipedias. Other projects like Commons will have this update rolled out a few days prior.
This week, the Signpost interviewed the English Wikipedia's Mountains WikiProject.

This week, we visited with WikiProject Germany.
The annual Wikimedia Conference is about to start in Berlin, hosted by Wikimedia Germany, which won the bid to hold the event over three others. This will be the fifth time the chapter has hosted the Wikimedia Conference—it did so from 2009 to 2012, with attendance ranging from 100 to 180 Wikimedians. This year 160 people are expected at the four-day event, which is mainly for representatives of affiliated Wikimedia organisations. The conference has been built around two themes: Organisation, structures, and grants and Success and impact.
The Signpost's "Featured content" writers had a bit of fun this week.
The mysterious fate of MH370 still tops the list, but in all other respects our readership has retreated from the real world into its pop-cultural happy place: TV, movies, music, Reddit and Google Doodles all made an appearance.
