Disambiguation link notification for July 8

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited James Ben Ali Haggin, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page American. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

New articles

Is it me or is new article creation on the rise again?♦ Dr. Blofeld 21:51, 8 July 2014 (UTC)

@Dr. Blofeld: On rise, sometimes 3 articles are created every minute. I often get surprised too. Those who write about insects or viruses, frequently exceeds 100 articles in a single day. Right now I got at least 400 articles to add as well, just waiting for the right time. OccultZone (Talk • Contributions • Log) 01:27, 9 July 2014 (UTC)
I hadn't heard about the two more passing 1 million. Yesterday was virtually like the 2006-2007 days. All I know is that it's taken far too long to reach 5 million articles. Obviously nothing is more important than quality of articles but in the long term being as broad as possible is a good thing I think. The problem of course is that we lack the editors to expand all of the stubs into decent aarticles.♦ Dr. Blofeld 09:02, 9 July 2014 (UTC)
True that. I've got a few thousands of article links saved to my list, I like to expand them but these days I am more into maintenance tasks. Maybe SAdN is also busy with maintenance task, because many of the pages lack talk pages. Quality yes, we do need more articles. There are a few pages about football, hockey, ice hockey where you will see many red links. Whenever you will search those names around internet you will find more than 4 reliable source. Just have to try. OccultZone (Talk • Contributions • Log) 10:30, 9 July 2014 (UTC)
Sorry Ser Amantio, what was it you were saying about the commons? Has there been another donation or something?♦ Dr. Blofeld 18:28, 14 July 2014 (UTC)
Amazing that we now have 21 million files, I remember when we used to have 1 million odd and more articles than images!♦ Dr. Blofeld 18:33, 14 July 2014 (UTC)

Not sure about that!! Perhaps if they started running the geograph bot and a bot to upload images from flickr again we'd do it!!♦ Dr. Blofeld 18:37, 14 July 2014 (UTC)

Always good to see agreements with institutions like LoC. Do you know how many images we're getting from them?♦ Dr. Blofeld 19:13, 14 July 2014 (UTC)

Not bad, it's a start. Imagine how many we could have if we made agreements with things like the Azerbaijani archives and all that though!♦ Dr. Blofeld 19:30, 14 July 2014 (UTC)

Look how many Raions of Ukraine there are!! And Ukrainian/Russian wiki seem to have nav boxes for all of them with articles on all settlements in each one!! And most of the Russian ones seem pretty decent! The average one looks like this Scary isn't it!♦ Dr. Blofeld 17:56, 1 August 2014 (UTC)

Our coverage of Russian towns is pretty decent thanks to Ezhiki, Ym and a few others. Ukrainian cities are OK but we're missing most of the articles on villages as we are with Russia, so naturally it amounts to the majority of settlements still missing. I created one as an example Template:Shakhtarsk Raion and stubbed a few. And most of the raions are still stubs, the way I left them after I created them. Sometime I might resume with those Turkish stubs..♦ Dr. Blofeld 20:15, 1 August 2014 (UTC)

I've been enjoying the usually nice weather here but today was the first day in like 6 weeks that it rained and felt cooler. I always prefer editing when its cooler. I've begun learning Spanish again to I'll be translating a few articles from Spanish wiki too for practice!♦ Dr. Blofeld 21:39, 1 August 2014 (UTC)

Washington DC

Hi Ser, I'll be in Washington DC area tomorrow through Sunday for some training hosted by Wikimedia DC. If you'll be attending the event, or just feel like stopping by, it would be great to meet you. James H has the itinerary. If you're busy with other things, no worries, next time. --Rosiestep (talk) 01:54, 28 August 2014 (UTC)

Cool; but actually, I'm traveling most of today because of a layover and I get in late tonight. I'll ping you tomorrow from the event when I have our schedule and we'll see if we can make it happen. --Rosiestep (talk) 11:25, 28 August 2014 (UTC)

AWB

I think everyone had a great time! Hey, if and when you have the inclination, the new WP, Women writers, could use some AWB assistance with project-templating article talkpages. While it would be cathartic for me to do it by hand in front of the TV, I figure it would be much more expeditious using AWB as there are so many articles which fall within the project scope, per Category:Women writers. --Rosiestep (talk) 15:15, 1 September 2014 (UTC)

Just learned (Misplaced Pages talk:WikiProject Women writers#Scope and bot request) there's a bot which might be able to add the project banner, so let's see first if that pans out. --Rosiestep (talk) 15:53, 1 September 2014 (UTC)

Cool video; think I found you. :) There are probably other tasks which WOMENWRI needs done and AWB would be useful. I don't know what those tasks might be, but thinking you might know, i.e. has anyone asked you to do stuff for their project which would be useful for WOMENWRI? --Rosiestep (talk) 16:52, 1 September 2014 (UTC)

Just a friendly FYI that we're still working through some project start-up questions, which is why I haven't come back with any other AWB suggestions (yet). --Rosiestep (talk) 04:05, 3 September 2014 (UTC)

Category:American women writers

This category is not ready for diffusion. For instance, there is no subcategory for American women who write short fiction. Please hold off on further diffusion of this category. —Stepheng3 (talk) 19:06, 1 September 2014 (UTC)

Ser, are you planning on diffusing this? I thought you were doing the opposite and populating the main cat. I think Stepheng3 was correct to remove the diffusion tag, since it seems as though diffusion is not the goal any more--yes? Should we add a non-diffusion tag?

Your prolific editing and number of uploads are inspirational.104.37.100.30 (talk) 00:38, 2 September 2014 (UTC)

Hi, the cat American women writers does not need to be populated if there are subcategories such as American women novelists. --Rosiestep (talk) 04:47, 3 September 2014 (UTC)

Following up on some of your ideas... There appear to be 539 entries at the intersection of Category:American short story writers and Category:American women writers, so it seems reasonable to create Category:American women short story writers and fill it via AWB; and in the process clean out the parent categories. There appear to be 79 entries at the intersection of Category:British short story writers and Category:British women writers, so it seems reasonable to create Category:British women short story writers and fill it via AWB; and in the process clean out those parent categories. What are your thoughts? --Rosiestep (talk) 13:02, 3 September 2014 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages and YOUR History: Taking Control of the Internet

See you at the Laurel Pool Room, 9th and Main Street, Laurel, MD on Thursday, September 11, 2014 at 7:00 PM EST. See http://www.meetup.com/Wikimedia-DC/events/205494212/ for more information. Geraldshields11 (talk) 02:13, 6 September 2014 (UTC)

Wikimedia DC invites revolutionaries, free thinkers, and other sundry editors to a DC WikiSalon

The WikiSalon is a special meetup usually held during the first and third full weeks of every month, from 7 PM to 9 PM. It's an informal gathering of Wikimedia enthusiasts, who come together to discuss Wikimedia wikis and collaboratively edit. There's no set agenda, and guests are welcome to recommend articles for the group to edit or edit on their own.

If you're coming by Metro, the closest station is Dupont Circle (on the Red Line). If you're driving, a lot of parking opens up downtown after 6:30 PM, so finding a parking space (even a free one) should be easy. Once you've found the building, go to Cove on the second floor. We will be in the conference room.

When: Wednesday, September 17, 2014 at 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM

Where: The Cove, Dupont Circle, 1730 Connecticut Avenue NW, 2nd floor, 20009, DC

Parent cat?

Hi, long time.

Why are you adding the "American films" category to articles which already have an "American XXX films" category? (See Cat Ballou for an example of what I'm referring to.) Surely "American films" is the parent category of these cats, and does not need to be added? I'm confused as to why you are doing this. BMK (talk) 06:14, 15 September 2014 (UTC)
