It still surprises me sometimes what hasn't got an article

How did the world's largest naked bike ride never get an article until this month?

By the way I suppose the Fremont Solstice Parade naked biking is related but not part of WNBR? ☆ Bri (talk) 00:38, 2 July 2025 (UTC)

@Bri I'm not exactly sure how various iterations of WNBR are connected. There have also been other naked bike rides in Portland outside the "traditional" annual event. I'm sure I could do a deeper dive into organizational efforts and leadership, but for now I got the ball rolling on something! ---Another Believer _(Talk) 01:32, 2 July 2025 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Hetero Awesome Fest

Resolved

Extended content

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on Hetero Awesome Fest requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, images, a rephrasing of the title, a question that should have been asked at the help or reference desks, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Potential merge of Harvey Milk Plaza

Extended content

As I'm cleaning up and updating Harvey Milk Plaza, I'm realizing that it might be best to merge it with Castro station. The histories of the two are so entwined that there ends of being a lot of duplication; I think one article with a cohesive history would serve readers better. Would you object to that? Pi.1415926535 (talk) 21:46, 9 July 2025 (UTC)

@Pi.1415926535 If there's enough detail and sourcing, I'd prefer a standalone article specifically focused on the plaza, but if this is not possible then a merge may be appropriate. I'm not terribly familiar with the history here. @Mliu92: Based on your work on United Nations Plaza (San Francisco), I wonder if you have any thoughts here. Also, Pi.1415926535, it might be better to have this discussion on the article's Talk page, not here. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 21:52, 9 July 2025 (UTC)

You're the other significant contributor to the plaza article who's still active, so I wanted to get your opinion first. It's definitely a different situation from UN Plaza, which has significant history independent from the station. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 22:03, 9 July 2025 (UTC)

@Pi.1415926535 I understand and appreciate that you've asked here first, but I think allowing others to weigh in would be helpful. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 22:09, 9 July 2025 (UTC)

I've shared some sources over on the talk page and I've also asked for editor feedback at WikiProject California and WikiProject LGBT studies. Thanks! ---Another Believer _(Talk) 22:15, 9 July 2025 (UTC)

Jiufen Mingsheng Temple moved to draftspace

Extended content

Thanks for your contributions to Jiufen Mingsheng Temple. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it has no sources, it needs more sources to establish notability and it has no content besides a statement of existence. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit the draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Reywas92^Talk 17:12, 11 July 2025 (UTC)

LEAVE ME ALONE ---Another Believer _(Talk) 17:15, 11 July 2025 (UTC)

The one source you added does not appear to be a reliable source. The article still needs more sources to establish notability and it still has no content besides a mere statement of existence. This is what draft space is for. — Reywas92^Talk 17:32, 11 July 2025 (UTC)

WHAT PART OF LEAVE ME ALONE DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND? ---Another Believer _(Talk) 17:33, 11 July 2025 (UTC)

Hi Another Believer. This a collaborative project. As such, a certain amount of communication is necessary. This includes letting editors know when their contributions may not be in full accord with our policies and guidelines. Reywas92's messages fall under that heading. Please take note of these messages as persistently making edits that are inconsistent with community standards can be seen as disruptive. Thank you for your contributions to the project. -Ad Orientem (talk) 19:26, 11 July 2025 (UTC)

@Ad Orientem I have asked this editor to leave me alone many, many times, for years. I have also asked them to stop posting to my user talk page, which I have every right to do. It is clear they are unwilling to do this and continue to make unnecessary edits and leave snarky edit summaries, even when others have asked them to stop and even when I am working in the draft space. I don't appreciate being followed and hounded, and I don't think it's too much to ask to be left alone. If you're going to leave a note on my talk page, I hope you will do the same to the editor who refuses to leave me alone. Thanks, ---Another Believer _(Talk) 19:30, 11 July 2025 (UTC)

Here's the problem. As far as I can tell, the concerns they are raising are legitimate. Jiufen Mingsheng Temple was originally unsourced, and currently has only one, which probably does not meet our standards as a reliable source. And it is certainly insufficient to establish encyclopedic notability. Requesting that a user stay off your talk page can be made. But that does not extend to legitimate notices or communication required for the smooth running of the project. Please see WP:KEEPOFF. I would encourage you to move your page back to draft space until you have an opportunity to flesh it out with enough details backed by reliable independent sources to establish notability.

@Reywas92 While I am satisfied that your notices here are justified, do take note when another editor asks you to stay off their page, as far as possible. And while I am not in any way accusing you of any impropriety, please be aware of our guideline on WP:HOUNDING, which is a no no. Sometimes when you have strained relations with another editor, it's better to refer any issues or concerns to another experienced editor to avoid misunderstandings or aggravating what may already be a chilly relationship. -Ad Orientem (talk) 19:47, 11 July 2025 (UTC)

@Ad Orientem I'm not worried about the fate of an article about a temple. I'm concerned about a persistent behavioral issue and an unwillingness to respect my requests to be left alone. This editor clearly knows what they are doing and they seem to enjoy disrupting my editing experience. Don't take my word for it -- check the editor interaction tools! Please don't ping them to join this discussion. I do not want to interact with this editor in any capacity, ever. Thanks, ---Another Believer _(Talk) 19:59, 11 July 2025 (UTC)

I've left a note on their talk page. However, I reiterate that I substantially agree with the concerns that they were raising about the page in question. Please move it back to draft space pending expansion and better sourcing. I now regard this matter as resolved. Thank you. -Ad Orientem (talk) 20:21, 11 July 2025 (UTC)

You may consider this resolved, but I do not. The editor's dislike for stubs does not give them the right to continue harassing and hounding me. I expect the editor will leave me alone moving forward, otherwise I will be pursuing an interaction ban. FYI to User:Liz, who has approached the editor about their actions towards me before. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 20:30, 11 July 2025 (UTC)

Stubs are allowed. However, they must contain enough information coupled with sufficient sourcing to establish the notability of the subject. Those are minimal standards and I believe their concern is that some of your pages have not met that rather low bar. You are of course free to take this to ANI and request an IBan. However, in my experience ANI is not a venue known for happy endings. If you do choose to go there, be aware that your own record will also be under scrutiny. Telling people to leave you alone and/or keep off your page cannot be used to shut down legitimate scrutiny of your own editing or other legitimate communication. Again, this is a collaborative project. To give a personal example; I have been an editor for 13 years and admin for almost ten. I have well over 80,000 edits and by the very nature of being an admin, I have to interact with other editors all the time. Sometimes those interactions can get a little testy. But in all that time, I have had to tell exactly three editors to stay off my talk page and not communicate with me. One was a temporary spat long since resolved. One was so long ago, I'm not even sure they are still editing. And the last, and most recent ended up being indeffed by another admin less than two days later for trolling. So are there legitimate instances for where demanding zero interaction can be justified? Yes. But in my experience it's not common. -Ad Orientem (talk) 21:04, 11 July 2025 (UTC)

@Ad Orientem: I'm fully aware and not backing down. I know well enough how ANI works and I'm familiar enough with editor interaction tools to have my receipts in order. There are a million ways to contribute to Wikipedia, but harassing me doesn't need to be one of them. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 21:17, 11 July 2025 (UTC)

Fair enough. You do what you think you need to. -Ad Orientem (talk) 21:22, 11 July 2025 (UTC)

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Beastro logo.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of non-free use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --Min☠︎rax^«¦talk¦» 14:20, 13 July 2025 (UTC)

Not sure if I can add a citation needed template

Extended content

Since I remember adding the countries that had Yifang Taiwan Fruit Tea locations in the infobox from the Chinese Wikipedia and you reverted them because they didn't cite any sources, is it okay if I add a citation needed template for the countries that have Yifang Taiwan Fruit Tea since statements that are unsourced need a citation needed template? DiscoveringMysteries03 (talk) 18:13, 15 July 2025 (UTC)

@DiscoveringMysteries03 It would be better if you included sources to verify specific locations. If there are not sources confirming operations in select countries, then there's probably not a need to include the locations on Wikipedia. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 18:15, 15 July 2025 (UTC)

Then how come that's the case when there needs to be a citation needed template to tell if a statement is unsourced? DiscoveringMysteries03 (talk) 18:33, 15 July 2025 (UTC)

@DiscoveringMysteries03 I'm not sure why you feel so strongly about mentioning specific countries without sources. I was just trying to keep the page sourced but I guess do what you want. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 18:37, 15 July 2025 (UTC)

Whatever. You can keep the page sourced, I actually changed my mind, it might be better to not include the countries. DiscoveringMysteries03 (talk) 18:39, 15 July 2025 (UTC)

Wikimedia Foundation Bulletin 2025 Issue 14

Extended content

Here is a quick overview of highlights from the Wikimedia Foundation since our last issue on July 11. Please help translate. The bulletin will be back after Wikimania with a special issue on the 19th August.

---

Get Ready for Wikimania 2025!

Upcoming and current events and conversations
Let's Talk continues

• Wikimania 2025: Register to join virtually the 20th Wikimania taking place from August 6-9. The programme has highlights from across Wikimedia projects and communities including the reveal of who will be this year's Wikimedians of the year.
• Strengthening a neutral point of view: An overview of NPOV policies across Wikipedia projects, shows that 153 Wikipedias out of 342 (45%) don’t have easily accessible guidance on neutrality. The research was conducted to help understand how neutrality is ensured in our projects. and to provide an opportunity for peer learning across project communities. Read the full research and join the conversation.

Annual Goals Progress on Infrastructure
See also newsletters: Apps · Growth · Product Safety and Integrity · Research · Web · Wikifunctions & Abstract Wikipedia · Tech News · Language and Internationalization · other newsletters on MediaWiki.org

• Tech News: See all the 60 community-submitted tasks that were resolved over the last two weeks in Tech News week 29 and 30. For example, the request to add Malayalam fonts in the Wikisource Book Export Tool was resolved and now, the rendering of Malayalam letters in exported Wikisource books are accurate.
• Temporary Accounts: After the rollout of temporary accounts on 18 large and medium-sized Wikipedias, we are monitoring the impact of this change, and preparing for the next deployments. See the full project update.
• Add a link: Administrators can now limit "Add a Link" to newcomers, as opposed to keeping it open to more experienced editors as well. "Add a link" helps newcomers to start editing, so restricting the feature to them enables Administrators to cater the feature to that specific group, which they can do via the Community Configuration feature.

Hi, re these four edits. I know that it's an automated script; but I don't understand why those two threads each needed a separate archive. The {{User:MiszaBot/config}} has |maxarchivesize=70k and Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Science/Archive 8 is less than 60k - those two threads, which totalled 1,659 bytes, would not have taken it over the limit. Archive 9 certainly didn't need to be closed off at just 1,121 bytes. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 13:29, 2 August 2025 (UTC)

@Redrose64 Yeah, I'm not sure why new pages were created. I wish OneClickArchiver worked the same across all talk pages. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 13:31, 2 August 2025 (UTC)

How about we revert those four edits and speedy-delete archives 9 and 10 per WP:CSD#G7. Then we can either manually archive the two threads to archive 8, or wait for lowercase sigmabot III to drop by. They might take two or three weeks to become eligible for bot archiving. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 23:09, 2 August 2025 (UTC)

@Enos733 I'm not going to stop creating entries for the major demonstrations taking place monthly in the US. I believe these are clearly notable and important forks that offer context re: protests against the second Trump presidency. This one could easily be expanded to be in line with the many other Trump protest entries, but I'm tired of AfD discussions so I'll move on to other things. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 16:51, 4 August 2025 (UTC)

Dinolandia

Your nomination of Dinolandia is under review

Your good article nomination of the article Dinolandia is under review. See the review page for more information. This may take up to 7 days; feel free to contact the reviewer with any questions you might have. Message delivered by ChristieBot, on behalf of Surfinsi -- Surfinsi (talk) 09:46, 5 August 2025 (UTC)

Dinolandia - Sidequest

Hi @Another Believer,

I wanted to talk about a way to improve the article that isn't strictly required for GA, but would certainly be helpful and come in handy if you want to nominate the article for FA in the future. The article currently doesn't have any photos of the actual exhibit, but I know a place where you could get some! Mike Bennett has an official website for Dinolandia, which has many incredible photos. There's a chance he will release a few photos of the exhibit if you just ask. The website has a contact section, if you want to try. Just to reiterate, this isn't required for the GA review, which is why I'm contacting you here, I just wanted to present you with an opportunity that might be useful in improving the article.

Thanks, Surfinsi (talk) 16:37, 5 August 2025 (UTC)

@Surfinsi Thanks, I appreciate the suggestion and have plans to help get the article illustrated at some point in the future. :) ---Another Believer _(Talk) 16:50, 5 August 2025 (UTC)

Your nomination of Dinolandia has passed

Your good article nomination of the article Dinolandia has passed; congratulations! See the review page for more information. If the article is eligible to appear in the "Did you know" section of the Main Page, you can nominate it within the next seven days. Message delivered by ChristieBot, on behalf of Surfinsi -- Surfinsi (talk) 14:42, 6 August 2025 (UTC)

Removal of Old AFD notice at Talk:The Last Voyage of the Starship Enterprise

I noticed the old AFD tag on the talk page for Talk:The Last Voyage of the Starship Enterprise was removed by you a couple of times (quite a while ago), and before I restored it, I thought I'd check why it was being removed. See this for example. Thanks, Nfitz (talk) 09:51, 6 August 2025 (UTC)

@Nfitz I don't understand, I am not User:Cirt. I've re-ordered stuff on the talk page but I didn't remove AfD tags. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 13:17, 6 August 2025 (UTC)

Huh. Sorry, I just assumed that looking at the edit history of both the talk and the main space article, etc. I'll just revert that Cirt edit then. Nfitz (talk) 00:26, 7 August 2025 (UTC)

Guideline and policy news

• Following a request for comment, a new speedy deletion criterion, G15, has been enacted. It applies to pages generated by a large language model (LLM) without human review.
• Following a request for comment, there is a new policy outlining the granting of permissions to view the IP addresses of temporary accounts. Temporary account deployment on the English Wikipedia is currently scheduled for September 2025, and editors can request access to the permission ahead of time. Admins are encouraged to keep an eye on the request page; there will likely be a flood of editors requesting the permission when they realize they can no longer see IP addresses.

Technical news

• Administrators can now restrict the "Add a Link" feature to newcomers. The "Add a Link" Structured Task helps new account holders get started with editing. Administrators can configure this setting in the Community Configuration page.

Arbitration

• The arbitration case Indian military history has been closed.
  • South Asia (WP:CT/SA) is designated a contentious topic. The topic area is specifically defined as All pages related to the region of South Asia (India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Nepal), broadly construed, including but not limited to history, politics, ethnicity, and social groups.
  • The contentious topic designations for Sri Lanka (SL) and India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan (IPA) are folded into this new contentious topic.
  • The community-authorized general sanctions regarding South Asian social groups (GS/CASTE) are rescinded and folded into this new contentious topic.
• The arbitration case Article titles and capitalisation 2 has been opened. Evidence submissions in this case closed on 31 July.
• The arbitration case Transgender healthcare and people has been opened. Evidence submissions in this case will close on 11 August.

Miscellaneous

• Wikimania 2025 is happening in Nairobi, Kenya, and online from August 6 to August 9. This year marks 20 years of Wikimania. Interested users can join the online event. Registration for the virtual event is free and will remain open throughout Wikimania. You can register here now.

Proposed deletion of Dead Dance (song)

Resolved

Extended content

The article Dead Dance (song) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Most of the given sources don't even provide a name, and it's too soon for a separate article anyway when there is no WP:SIGCOV for an unreleased track with a flimsy attribution of unspecified "sources" giving a title, which isn't sufficient to count as confirmation and the lack of transparency is suspicious.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

This is an automated notification. Please refer to the page's history for further information. DatBot (talk) 00:31, 9 August 2025 (UTC)

• Tech News: Some of the latest update from Tech News week 31, 32, and 33: The Wikimedia Commons community has decided to block cross-wiki uploads to Wikimedia Commons, for all users without autoconfirmed rights on that wiki, starting on August 16; The WikiEditor toolbar now includes its keyboard shortcuts in the tooltips for its buttons. This will help to improve the discoverability of this feature.
• Collaborative Contributions: Share your comments on Collaborative Contributions. This project aims to create a new way to display the impact of collaborative editing activities (such as edit-a-thons, backlog drives, and WikiProjects) on the wikis.
• PTAC: The Product and Technology Advisory Council published a set of proposed experiments the Wikimedia Foundation can try to improve communication with community. Feedback on the proposals are welcomed until August 22.
• Watchlists and Recent Changes: The Foundation will be focusing on wishes related to Watchlists and Recent Changes pages over the next few months. Please read the latest update, and if you have ideas, please submit a wish on the topic.
• Wikifunctions: The Foundation is working on demonstrating functions that generate sentences and fragments in several languages. This is a considerable step towards creating text for Abstract Wikipedia.

Annual Goals Progress on Volunteer Support

• UK Online Safety Act: The High Court of Justice has dismissed the Wikimedia Foundation's challenge to the UK's Online Safety Act (OSA) Categorisation Regulations. While the decision does not provide the immediate legal protections for Wikipedia that we hoped for, the Court’s ruling emphasized the responsibility of Ofcom and the UK government to ensure Wikipedia is protected as the OSA is implemented.

WikiCup 2025 September newsletter

The fourth round of the 2025 WikiCup ended on 29 August. The penultimate round saw three contestants score more than 800 points:

• BeanieFan11 (submissions) with 1,175 round points, mainly from sports-related articles, including 17 good articles, 27 did you know articles, and 9 in the news articles
• Arconning (submissions) with 1,090 round points, mainly from articles about athletes and politicians, including a featured article on Philippines at the 1924 Summer Olympics, 9 good articles, 28 did you know articles, and a wide assortment of featured and good article reviews
• AirshipJungleman29 (submissions) with 854 round points, mostly from a high-scoring featured article on the Indian leader Rani of Jhansi and two good articles, in addition to 13 featured and good article reviews

Everyone who competed in Round 4 will advance to Round 5 unless they have withdrawn. This table shows all competitors who have received tournament points so far, while the full scores for Round 4 can be seen here. During this round, contestants have claimed 9 featured articles, 12 featured lists, 98 good articles, 9 good topic articles, more than 150 reviews, nearly 100 did you know articles, and 18 in the news articles.

In advance of the fifth and final round, the judges would like to thank every contestant for their hard work. As a reminder, any content promoted after 29 August but before the start of Round 5 can be claimed in Round 5. In addition, note that Round 5 will end on 31 October at 23:59 UTC. Awards at the end of Round 5 will be distributed based on who has the most tournament points over all five rounds, and special awards will be distributed based on high performance in particular areas of content creation (e.g., most featured articles in a single round).

Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. 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 Needed. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, feel free to review one of the nominations listed on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges – Cwmhiraeth (talk · contribs), Epicgenius (talk · contribs), Frostly (talk · contribs), Guerillero (talk · contribs) and Lee Vilenski (talk · contribs) – are reachable on their talk pages.
