News and notes: Alleged "outing" of editor's personal information leads to Wikipedia ban

As part of the second major "outing" controversy to hit the English Wikipedia in less than a year, the Chelsea/Bradley Manning naming dispute was dragged into the spotlight yet again when the English Wikipedia's Arbitration Committee ruled by motion to remove the administrator tools from and ban long-time Wikipedia contributor Phil Sandifer.

Traffic report: Danse Macabre

It's fair to say that commemorating death was a strong theme this week, with Lou Reed's passing generating interest, as well as a Google Doodle celebrating the costume designer Edith Head. And of course, the world's greatest celebrations of the dead, Halloween and the Day of the Dead, were also popular this week.

Featured content: Five years of work leads to 63-article featured topic

HMS Hood, one of the most famous warships of the Second World War, was a battlecruiser and therefore part of what is now the largest featured topic on Wikipedia: "Battlecruisers of the world". The topic was promoted to "featured" status on the English Wikipedia last week alongside eleven articles, three lists, four pictures, and two other topics.

WikiProject report: WikiProject Accessibility

This week, we spent some time with WikiProject Accessibility, a project that strives to make Wikipedia accessible for users with disabilities. The project improves Wikipedia's guidelines and Manual of Style, collects useful templates and scripts, and provides support to impaired Wikipedians.

Arbitration report: Ebionites 3 case closed

Regarding poster edits.

There is an accepted for poster uploaders that New posters should be uploaded each time they are released, the final one being before the theatrical release. Currently there are few Bollywood films for which new posters have been released. Being a uploader I'm itching to upload it but apprehend that you'll turn up at my doorstep with an accusation of WP:GAME and not to mention WP:ANI. So I am requesting your reply as to whether I should upload one. Soham Banerjee 17:00, 9 November 2013 (UTC)

I discouraged your smaller posters uploads with a rationale "I am trying to reduce server load". I do not about any guideline which tells to keep on updating film poster. --Tito☸Dutta 02:58, 11 November 2013 (UTC)

DYK for Rousing Call to Hindu Nation

On 5 November 2013, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Rousing Call to Hindu Nation, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that Eknath Ranade published the book Rousing Call to Hindu Nation in 1963, the centenary year of the birth of Swami Vivekananda?

Added Image

Hi :Bgwhite - sorry it took me so long to get in touch with you again. I have finally finished my article about Henrik Stiesdal on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Ice_thomas/Workbench. It took me a while to actually contact Mr Stiesdal. He has allowed me to use one of his press images in the info box I have created. Today, I have uploaded the image. Would you mind checking it for me? I Have chosen the CC BY-NC-ND 3.0 license as I don't want anyone else to alter the image or use it commercially. Thanks for your feedback!

Traffic report: Google Doodlebugs bust the block

The numbers this week are beyond anything that has been seen since this report began. The top view count beats the average by an order of magnitude. Usually the appearance of numbers this big on the list is due to spamming, but in this case it seems they are due to honest interest; more specifically, Google Doodles, which for the first time claimed all five top slots. This column has raised numerous times the power of a Google Doodle to shine light on Wikipedia, but the wattage has never been as high as this.

Featured content: 1244 Chinese handscroll leads nine-strong picture contingent

Five articles, two lists, one topic, and nine pictures were promoted to 'featured' status on the English Wikipedia last week.

Special report: FDC staff raise the benchmarks for activities, impact, planning, and governance

From the editor: The Signpost needs your help

As I said in August, contributing to the Signpost can be one of the most rewarding things an editor can do. The genre is refreshingly different from that of Wikipedia articles, and can allow writers to use a different range of skills. The need for an independent, volunteer-run Signpost continues to grow, given the increasing complexity and financial expenditures of the global Wikimedia movement, not to mention the English Wikipedia.

Book review: Peter Burke's Social History of Knowledge—ambitious, fascinating, and exhaustive

Peter Burke's A Social History of Knowledge: Volume II: From the Encyclopédie to Wikipedia is a broad and wide-ranging look at how knowledge has been created, acquired, organized, disseminated, and sometimes lost in the Western world over the last two and a half centuries, a sequel to his 2000 book covering the prior three centuries, A Social History of Knowledge: From Gutenberg to Diderot.

Featured content: Rockin' the featured pictures

Four articles, five lists, and thirty-four pictures were promoted to 'featured status' this week, including an image of a small fraction of the 18,000 taxis that serve Hong Kong.

WikiProject report: Score! American football on Wikipedia

This week, we headed over to WikiProject National Football League. With 10 Featured Articles, 61 Featured Lists, and 142 Good Articles (as of publication), this WikiProject has done a lot of work improving American football articles.

News and notes: Foundation to Wiki-PR: cease and desist; Arbitration Committee elections starting

The Wikimedia Foundation has sent a formal cease and desist letter to Wiki-PR—the public relations agency accused of breaking Wikipedia policies and guidelines by creating, editing, and maintaining several thousand articles for paying clients through a sophisticated array of accounts. The Foundation's attorneys, Cooley LLP, have demanded that Wiki-PR's employees abide by the site's Terms of Use and the language of a community ban from the English Wikipedia.

Traffic report: Ill Winds

It's not hard to guess which event is leading interest in the top 25 this week. The sheer scale of Typhoon Haiyan is staggering; estimates place its maximum windspeed upon first landfall in the Philippines on November 6 at 315 km/h, which would make it the most powerful tropical cyclone ever to reach land. To date, the storm has killed nearly 4000 people and damaged or destroyed nearly 4 million homes.

Arbitration report: WMF opens the door for non-admin arbitrators

Back in March, when the March 25 Arbitration Report covered the Audit Subcommittee appointment discussion, a statement from the WMF legal division clarified its position that access to deleted revisions required an RFA or RFA-identical process; therefore AUSC committee appointments were not open to non-admins. The WMF legal team has now further clarified its position, saying that running for and winning an election for arbitrator would qualify as the type of rigorous community selection process required for the checkuser and oversight rights held by arbitrators.

Recent research: Reciprocity and reputation motivate contributions to Wikipedia; indigenous knowledge and "cultural imperialism"; how PR people see Wikipedia

Wikipedia works on the efforts of unpaid volunteers who choose to donate their time to advance the cause of free knowledge. This phenomenon, as trivial as it may sound to those acquainted with Wikipedia inner workings, has always puzzled economists and social scientists alike, in that standard Economic theory would not predict that such enterprises would thrive without any form of remuneration.

News and notes: One decade of Wikisource; FDC recommendations raise serious questions

The sister project Wikisource, the digital library that hosts free-content primary sources, is now a decade old.

This week, we returned to WikiProject Apple Inc. for a peek at their newest articles about the latest in gadgets and software. The last time we took a bite out of WikiProject Apple, they had just finished merging WikiProject Macintosh and WikiProject iPhone OS. Today, the project is hard at work rewriting their primary article, improving the subject's outline, and adding to the project's list of 25 Good Articles and 6 Featured Articles.
