Last May, James Forrester announced to the world that London had been awarded the 2014 Wikimania conference. Functioning as the Wikimedia movement's annual conference, it is separate from the chapter-focused Wikimedia Conference. The first, located in Frankfurt, took place in 2005 and had 380 attendees. London, the tenth, is now expected to attract 1500. With Wikimania ambition, attention, and attendance rising significantly over the last nine years, how have this year's monetary costs come to be?

Assistance with vandalism please on German military history data entryI have been updating data and improving the overall content of Military production during World War II since June, with a particular focus on including more data about Germany, the Axis, historic context, German technical achievements and other information related to the German experience of the war. Today, Bender235 deleted over 3 months and 300 hours of my work and that of others, 40,000 characters of edits, and hundreds of constructive additions to the page. I am in the midst of uploading an enormous amount of PRIMARY SOURCE DATA and he deleted everything done so far as "wikipedia can not be a source for itself". I am enraged. There was not one comment, warning, question, request, or suggestion from this "editor". Can you please help me reverse all the deletions and keep this guy off the page. There are ongoing constructive edits from several other individuals watching this site. I was worried this would happen as soon as I started to upload data about Germany. Please help resolve this. These actions were not constructive and have reduced the quality of the material to a shadow of its last version before his vandalism. --Brukner (talk) 19:26, 18 July 2014 (UTC)

Last week I predicted that the World Cup dominance on the report would be over—but I was wrong. The World Cup Final fell on the 13th of July, which was actually the first day of the week covered by this report, not the last day of the last report. Hence, five of the Top 10 this week are again World Cup related-topics.

The English Wikipedia's did you know (DYK) section has been a feature of the site's main page since February 2004. From the beginning, the section has served as a place to highlight Wikipedia's newest articles. But over the last few years, the did you know section has gotten steadily larger and more complex, and non-notable or plagiarized articles have occasionally slipped through the reviewing process, leading numerous editors to call for reforms to the system. We asked two editors to share their views.

This is a hugely significant event as one of the assassins was the 21 year old Baron Werner von Alvensleben, son of the Schleicher associate Werner von Alvensleben senior. Von Alvensleben was exchanged by the Nazis in Germany in 1934 for Richard Kaaserer (later Oberfuehrer RuSHA). Alvensleben moved to the RSHA in 1939 and worked under Theodor Dannecker who sent him to Mozambique to examine the logistics for the proposed Madagascar Plan. When this fell through in late 1940, he remained in East Africa and provided information on Allied shipping passing through the straits as well as on information pertaining to British activities in Southern Africa. While nominally working for the Auslandsamt, Alvensleben reported all information back to the RSHA rather than to the Abwehr. Even as late as 1945, Alvensleben reported directly to Adolf Eichmann ! Alvenslben was a cousin of Ludolf Jakob von Alvensleben, first and final SSPF for Adria West. Kaaserer was SSPF in Yugoslavia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.103.204.29 (talk) 23:15, 28 July 2014 (UTC) NPOV in Bleiburg repatriations talk page.The following discussion is closed.

Another hoax on the English Wikipedia was uncovered this week—not by any thorough investigation, but through the self-disclosure of an anonymous change made when the editors were in their sophomore year of college. The deliberate misinformation had been in the article for over five years with plenty of individuals noticing, but not one suspected its authenticity. This leads to one obvious question: how many more are there?

Comment from unknown editorPeacemaker, Omitting any discussion with regards to the paragraphs in your qasi-profile page where you disparage a lot people - I surmise you have had some passionate back-and-forth with people that disagree with your editing/reediting. I'm trying to respectfully understand your issue with my edit - it's not synthesis air opinion it's fact "pan-european" (Webster's identify pan-european as "of, relating to, or involving all or most of the nations of Europe". This edit takes the SS an echelon beyond "multi ethnic, multi-national" description. Additionally were response to me that they were not elite at the the time is incorrect. No timeline is or was given - meaning ambiguous, when I attempted to define the stage of WWII that it became pan-european - you slide your same default answer to me.

Slate reports that Tom Scott, co-creator of the emoji social network Emojli, created a Twitter bot called Parliament WikiEdits to automatically tweet a link to any Wikipedia edits made from an IP address belonging to the Parliament of the United Kingdom. Scott's bot initially did not tweet any links to edits made from Parliament and, according to Scott, an "insider" reports that their IP addresses changed. Despite this, Scott's Twitter bot has inspired similar creations in numerous other countries.

Wikimedia Foundation staff members have now been granted superpowers that would allow them to override community consensus. The new protection level came as a response to attempts of German Wikipedia administrators to implement a community consensus on the new Media Viewer. "Superprotect" is a level above full protection, and prevents edits by administrators.
Erythrophobia is the fear of, or sensitivity to, the colour red. Recently, I have seen more and more erythrophobic Wikipedians; specifically, Wikipedians who are scared of red links. In Wikipedia's early days, red links were encouraged and well-loved, and when I started editing in 2006, this was still mostly the case. Jump forward to 2014, and many editors now have an aversion to red links.

I noticed that you, among others, have cool text like "send ... over" instead of "Peacemaker67 (talk)" and I was wondering how it is you do that? Cheers.

The Signpost: 03 September 2014
"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
"This week we saw three of the top ten articles remain in place, with the Ice Bucket Challenge at #1, Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis at #2, and Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant at #5, all for a second straight week..."
"This week, the Signpost went out to meet WikiProject Anatomy, dedicated to improving the articles about all our bones, brains, bladders and biceps, and getting them to the high standard expected of a comprehensive encyclopaedia."

Alexander LöhrHi, although I wanted to retire from Wiki, at least that was my plan a few weeks ago, I still find too many open ends I want to get my hand on. I recently bought two books on Alexander Löhr. Since his doings fall into what I believe to be your area of expertise (Balkans) I was hoping that you might want to assist?

Was thinking of adding this to the article, but noticed everything was well in hand.. -- Director (talk) 11:09, 6 September 2014 (UTC)
If I may, Peacemaker, I've been meaning to ask a personal question? How did you find Yugoslavia during your deployment? I gather you were in fact stationed near my hometown for a time? I remember watching IFOR columns as a kid and did in fact visit Divulje base during the time.. I don't imagine staying in old JNA barracks could have been particularly comfortable. -- Director (talk) 10:54, 8 September 2014 (UTC)
A-class reviewHey, I just have a question about the process. If folks come by and give feedback but never come back after it's fixed - what do I do about getting the 3 supports?--v/r - TP 22:40, 8 September 2014 (UTC)
The Signpost: 10 September 2014Last month, I wrote an open letter to the Wikimedia Foundation, inviting others to join me in a simple but important request: roll back the recent actions—both technical and social—by which the Wikimedia Foundation has overruled legitimate decisions of several Wikimedia projects.
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.
The amazing and strange tongue-eating louse replacing a fish's tongue! Because isopods, the subject of a new featured article, are both awesome and really damn weird!
This week, the Signpost decided to have a look around with WikiProject Check Wikipedia a maintenance project not concerned so much with articles' content, but in all the tiny errors that are to be found scattered within them. Their front page gives a list of things they mainly focus on ...
Mediterranean and Middle East theatre of World War II - request for citationsGday again. Over the last few days I have been trying to add citations to the Mediterranean and Middle East theatre of World War II. Unfortunately I have a fairly limited library on this topic. There is a paragraph in the article that I think is in your area of interest that you would probably be able to cite and / or reword for accuracy if req'd. The para is in the section "Axis forces gain the upper hand" and begins: "In April 1941, Germans, Italians, Hungarians and Bulgarians made quick work of the Royal Yugoslav army..." Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

As Scotland is deciding its future this week, we thought it might be a good idea to get to know the editors of WikiProject Scotland and talk to them about the project.
A prominent Wikipedia researcher has discovered that the encyclopedia's widely used article traffic statistics are missing out on approximately one-third of total views.
There is no unifying theme we can slap on top article popularity this week.
Four articles, two lists, and 51 pictures were promoted to "featured" status this week on the English Wikipedia.
