DYK for Sacarello's

On 2 March 2014, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Sacarello's, which you recently created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that the union of the Italian Sacarello and Bignone families in Gibraltar became known as the "Marriage of Two Mountains"? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Sacarello's. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Thank you for acknowledging my recent work on topics related to Gibraltar football. Do you know of any sources for free use photos of football in Gib? I'd love to add some to some of the articles.--Gri3720 (talk) 00:04, 4 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Tyson, do you know where the original design came from for the above? I'm sure I've read something about it somewhere, but as it is, the description on Commons says it belongs to Escondites (who hasn't edited for nearly five years) and somebody's brought it up at the ACR for Operation Flavius. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 19:24, 6 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hope you're well. Flat Bastion and Ocean Village Marina, Gibraltar are at GAN. It would be good if it had more info on the actual bastion but I gather there's very little about it. Any more suggestions for GA?♦ Dr. Blofeld 15:12, 10 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, we have communicated before in regards to my contributions to topics related to football in Gibraltar. My article for Adam Priestley is now a good article nominee. If you are familiar with the process and would like to take part in the review, please go to the article's talk page and follow the instructions. More certified good articles about Gibraltar can only be a good thing and this article would be the first certified good article about Gibraltar football if it passes review! Thank you again for your contributions. If you have any questions, ask away. --Gri3720 (talk) 16:56, 9 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Ty, thought you might like to know that I've updated Gorham's Cave with the latest Neanderthal discoveries. Any chance that the Finlaysons might let us use an image of the engraving found in the cave? Prioryman (talk) 12:18, 2 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The article has had a great response - see the usage stats!. Funny thing though, we've had a Gibraltar article on the Main Page for a week and there's not been a peep from any of the usual suspects - it's almost as if they weren't particularly sincere about their earlier complaints... (perish the thought!). Prioryman (talk) 12:18, 12 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

A case (Gibraltar) in which you were involved has been modified by motion which changed the wording of the discretionary sanctions section to clarify that the scope applies to pages, not just articles. For the arbitration committee --S Philbrick(Talk) 21:58, 27 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm. Ty, do we actually need Gib to be under sanctions any more? Are there any content disputes ongoing? Not counting the Gibraltarpedia nonsense, which wasn't about content anyway, I thought the articles were pretty stable these days. Prioryman (talk) 22:52, 27 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Gibmetal77. I wonder if you would be kind enough to spare me a couple of seconds of your time. My name is CharlieTheCabbie and I am active as a participant at the Malta WikiProject. I notice that you are listed as a member of the project. It appears to have been a long time since the project was active and, in the hope of fixing stuff, I am trying to hunt out all the editors who still interested in working on it. If you would be kind enough to go to Wikipedia:WikiProject Malta/Members and indicate whether you are still active or, if not, please move yourself to the Inactive Members section. Thank you for your help :) CharlieTheCabbie|paġna utenti|diskussjoni 17:08, 26 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,

I am a football magazine editor and would like your permission to use the picture of the Gibraltar national team's team photo ahead of their game in March 2014 in our issue as we have an interview with Adam Priestley in it.

If you could let me know how you would like it credited we can sort that out as we'd really like to use the image.

Thanks

Hi. The 18th edition of Ethnologue just came out, and if we divide up our language articles among us, it won't take long to update them. I would appreciate it if you could help out, even if it's just a few articles (5,000 articles is a lot for just me), but I won't be insulted if you delete this request.

A largely complete list of articles to be updated is at Category:Language articles citing Ethnologue 17. The priority articles are in Category:Language articles with old Ethnologue 17 speaker data. These are the 10% that have population figures at least 25 years old.

Probably 90% of the time, Ethnologue has not changed their figures between the 17th and 18th editions, so all we need to do is change "e17" to "e18" in the reference (ref) field of the language info box. That will change the citation for the artcle to the current edition. Please put the data in the proper fields, or the info box will flag it as needing editorial review. The other relevant fields are "speakers" (the number of native speakers in all countries), "date" (the date of the reference or census that Ethnologue uses, not the date of Ethnologue!), and sometimes "speakers2". Our convention has been to enter e.g. "1990 census" when a census is used, as other data can be much older than the publication date. Sometimes a citation elsewhere in the article depends on the e17 entry, in which case you will need to change "name=e17" to "name=e18" in the reference tag (assuming the 18th edition still supports the cited claim).

Remember, we want the *total* number of native speakers, which is often not the first figure given by Ethnologue. Sometimes the data is too incompatible to add together (e.g. a figure from the 1950s for one country, and a figure from 2006 for another), in which case it should be presented that way. That's one use for the "speakers2" field. If you're not sure, just ask, or skip that article.

Data should not be displayed with more than two, or at most three, significant figures. Sometimes it should be rounded off to just one significant figure, e.g. when some of the component data used by Ethnologue has been approximated with one figure (200,000, 3 million, etc.) and the other data has greater precision. For example, a figure of 200,000 for one country and 4,230 for another is really just 200,000 in total, as the 4,230 is within the margin of rounding off in the 200,000. If you want to retain the spurious precision of the number in Ethnologue, you might want to use the {{

Dates will often need to be a range of all the country data in the Ethnologue article. When entering the date range, I often ignore dates from countries that have only a few percent of the population, as often 10% or so of the population isn't even separately listed by Ethnologue and so is undated anyway.

If Ethnologue does not provide a date for the bulk of the population, just enter "no date" in the date field. But if the population figure is undated, and hasn't changed between the 17th & 18th editions of Ethnologue, please leave the ref field set to "e17", and maybe add a comment to keep it so that other editors don't change it. In cases like this, the edition of Ethnologue that the data first appeared in may be our only indication of how old it is. We still cite the 14th edition in a couple dozen articles, so our readers can see that the data is getting old.

The articles in the categories linked above are over 90% of the job. There are probably also articles that do not currently cite Ethnologue, but which we might want to update with the 18th edition. I'll need to generate another category to capture those, probably after most of the Ethnologue 17 citations are taken care of.
