Orphaned non-free media (File:Henry Gibson.jpg)

Thanks for uploading

You may add it back if you think that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media
).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Werieth (talk) 15:32, 30 September 2013 (UTC)

WikiCup 2013 September newsletter

In 30 days, we will know the identity of our 2013 WikiCup champion. Wales Cwmhiraeth (submissions) currently leads; if that lead is held, she will become the first person to have won the WikiCup twice. Canada Sasata (submissions), Australia Hawkeye7 (submissions)—who has never participated in the competition before—and New South Wales Casliber (submissions) follow. The majority of points in this round have come from a mix of good articles and bonus points. This final round is seeing contributions to a number of highly important topics; recent submissions include Phoenix (constellation) (FA by Casliber), Ernest Lawrence (GA by Hawkeye7), Pinniped, and red fox (both GAs by Sasata).

The did you know (DYK)

eligibility criteria have recently changed, meaning that newly passed good articles are accepted as "new" for did you know purposes. However, in the interests of not changing the WikiCup rules mid-competition, please note that only articles eligible for DYK under the old system (that is, newly created articles or 5x expansions) will be eligible for points in this year's WikiCup. We do, however, have time to discuss how this new system will work for next year's competition; a discussion will be opened in due course. On that note, thoughts are welcome on changes you'd like to see for next year. What worked? What didn't work? What would you like to see more of? What would you like to see less of? All Wikipedians, new or old, are also warmly invited to sign up for the 2014 WikiCup
.

If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on

Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to reduce the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Conrad Aiken.jpg

Disambiguation link notification for October 4

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Senate Conservatives Fund, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Mike Lee, Joe Miller and Ron Johnson (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to List of female Nobel laureates may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "()"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

Rutgers and "On the banks..."

Hi ColonelHenry. No, I've never attended Rutgers. My interest in the alma mater was piqued when I read about the new version with the gender-neutral lyrics. Gobōnobō + c 19:03, 13 October 2013 (UTC)

Was hoping someone would get to Ingeborg!

Thanks much for all your contributions to yesterday's Ada Lovelace Day edit-a-thon at Brown. I'm currently compiling contributions that ppl forgot to log, and was floored that no one did Ingeborg Hochmair after the many times that I mentioned her in press interviews leading up to yesterday! Anyhoo...glad to see she's about to have a proper page. Thanks again :) Girona7 (talk) 05:08, 17 October 2013 (UTC)

Thank you so much for organizing it! Yes, Ingeborg and Anny Cazenave were mentioned in multiple media sources and strike me as priorities. I've been compiling a list of the created articles at the Ada edit-a-thons to see which ones can be submitted to DYK. I'll try to post the list somewhere soon. I hope the Brown event went well. Gobōnobō + c 05:24, 17 October 2013 (UTC)
Great idea. I'm still compiling a list of all edits beyond what was self-reported on our event page. Have the in-person edits and additions finished but not the remote contributions yet. Maybe post your findings about DYK candidates on the
WP Women Scientist page? Anyhoo, yep, the event went very well! Thanks again :) Girona7 (talk
) 06:07, 17 October 2013 (UTC)
@Girona7: I finally posted the list of Ada Lovelace Day DYK potentials over at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Women scientists. Do you mind if I post welcome/thank you messages on the talk pages of edit-a-thon participants? Gobōnobō + c 14:58, 20 October 2013 (UTC)
@Gobonobo: FYI, I reached out last night to some folks in Germany (I think) who have a CC pic of Hochmair on Flickr asking if they'd update the license so we could use it. Long shot, but worth a try. Anyway, go for it on the thanking...I went through and thanked everyone using the "thank" tag for individual edits since I went through those anyway, but I didn't also add to folks' talk pages. BTW, I'm about to post a recap blog mentioning a few Wiki folks, and I'd love to include you. If you're comfortable with me posting your real name, shoot me an email at maiaw |@| nasw.org with that info. If not, I'll use your username. Thx! Girona7 (talk) 15:17, 20 October 2013 (UTC)
FYI: ALD edit-a-thon recap. Girona7 (talk) 13:47, 23 October 2013 (UTC)
Thank you for the shout-out and for uploading the image of Hochmair. Congratulations on having such a successful edit-a-thon. I'm glad that I was able to participate (even if remotely). Gobōnobō + c 03:15, 24 October 2013 (UTC)

Redirect

This edit puzzled me,. I do not know C.R. Avery, but that person appears to be a member of a folk band (See Barbara Adler)

I've removed the redirect, please let me know if I am missing something.--SPhilbrick(Talk) 14:55, 22 October 2013 (UTC)

@Sphilbrick: I've not a mop, so I can't see the history there, but if I remember correctly, I had that redirect pointing to Tons of Fun University, a spoken word trio of which he is a member. Seeing as he was also a member of The Fugitives (spoken word), it might be best to leave it as a red link for now. I hope that clears it up. Gobōnobō + c 18:32, 22 October 2013 (UTC)
Sorry, I should have explained, it was a redirect to Jane Cowl. I'm fine leaving it as a red link.--SPhilbrick(Talk) 18:37, 22 October 2013 (UTC)
Ah. That was also a pen name used by Cowl.[1] I might just make a disambiguation page for the name. Gobōnobō + c 18:49, 22 October 2013 (UTC)
Ah, that explains it. Thanks. Mystery solved.--SPhilbrick(Talk) 18:58, 22 October 2013 (UTC)
