• News and notes: The English Wikipedia's second featured-article centurion; wiki inventor interviewed on video
  With the promotion to featured article of Grus (constellation) on 17 May, Casliber became Wikipedia's second featured-article centurion, following Wehwalt's groundbreaking achievement last December. Cas's first FA, Banksia integrifolia, a group effort, was promoted on 16 November 2006. His first solo project, Diplodocus, followed in January 2007; he has rarely been off the FAC since. In a second story, Ward Cunningham, an American computer programmer who invented the wiki, was interviewed by the WMF.

• Featured content: Zombie fight in the saloon
  Wikipedia editor Sven Manguard's work is quite underappreciated a lot of the time, most likely because people haven't heard of it yet: He's developed good relationships with game companies, and is thus able to get full-resolution screenshots released under a Creative Commons license for use on Wikipedia and elsewhere. This week's trove of new featured items on the English Wikipedia comprises seven articles, three lists, and four pictures.

• Traffic report: Get fitted for flipflops and floppy hats
  In the US, Memorial Day marks the unofficial beginning of summer, and summer is definitely on people's minds this week, with summer films Godzilla and X-Men: Days of Future Past, the apparently designated summer song "Fancy" by Iggy Azalea, and summer TV show, Game of Thrones.

• Recent research: Predicting which article you will edit next
  Wikipedia in the eyes of its beholders; "Chinese-language time zones" favor Asian pop and IT topics on Wikipedia; and bipartite editing prediction in Wikipedia.

Proposed deletion of Ishita Malaviya

The article Ishita Malaviya has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this newly created biography of a living person will be deleted unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. Dolescum (talk) 20:05, 6 June 2014 (UTC)

If you had some patience, you'd realise that I create my page step by step. So STOP prodding and CSDing pages mindlessly. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 20:08, 6 June 2014 (UTC)

• Special report: IEG funding for women's stories: a new approach to the gender gap
  Individual engagement grants (IEGs) are announced twice yearly by a volunteer WMF committee, the most recent of which we covered last December. The scheme, launched at the start of last year, awards funds to individuals or teams of up to four to produce high-impact outcomes for the WMF's online projects. It favours innovative approaches to solving critical issues in the movement.

• News and notes: Two new affiliate-selected trustees
  New trustee Frieda Briosch from Italy: we face "a couple of headaches", she says: "how to boost editors, which includes the development of the next strategic plan, and how to keep our project always 'glamorous'."

• Op-ed: "Hospitality, jerks, and what I learned"—the amazing keynote at WikiConference USA
  I never feel quite adequate trying to paraphrase Sumana's words: she is so articulate. I highly encourage every person who reads this article to directly watch her keynote—it directly speaks to a lot of Wikimedia's most significant issues, made with great eloquence. We have a serious issue with retaining editors, and parts of her speech could serve as a pretty good partial blueprint towards how we could begin to fix that problem.

• Featured content: Ye stately homes of England
  David Iliff, or Diliff, as he is known on here outside of the file pages for his many, many, excellent photographs, is one of Wikipedia's longest-standing professional-standard photographers. This week, the Signpost salutes him.

• In the media: Reliable or not, doctors use Wikipedia
  The month of May saw significant coverage concerning the reliability of Wikipedia's medical articles.

• Traffic report: Autumn in summer
  The northern summer is a time when one is meant to celebrate the exuberance of life; instead, commemoration of the dead was a significant theme this week.

 Done --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 13:20, 9 June 2014 (UTC)

Thanks

For the rollback edit at the List of Palestinians. I was about to do it myself. The edit summary, for the record , consisted in a WP:OR judgement overruling what the sources classifying assassinations say, since the Jewish Virtual Library classified it thus. I can see the point of the objection, actually, but (a) we can't challenge RS, esp. like this, and (b) one version says they were killed in retaliation for a missile being fired in that area, and not necessarily because they were identified as the culprits. Of course, the editor was also 99% a sockpuppet, but that is not relevant. Good judgement, and my compliments for the range of your language mastery.Nishidani (talk) 19:50, 11 June 2014 (UTC)

Jee, thanks a lot. That's one of the best compliments I've got in a long time. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 10:52, 12 June 2014 (UTC)

• News and notes: PR agencies commit to ethical interactions with Wikipedia
  Eleven public relations agencies have declared their intention to follow "ethical engagement practices" in Wikipedia editing. The results were published last Tuesday: a joint statement from the participating PR agencies—representing five of the top ten global agencies and all but one of the top ten in the United States—clarifying their views and practices with regards to the Wikimedia projects.

• Traffic report: The week the wired went weird
  It seems that, more than commemorating the great moments in our history, more than even anticipating great sporting events, what our audience wants is the weird.

• Paid editing: Does Wikipedia Pay? The Moderator: William Beutler
  William Beutler (WWB), author of the blog The Wikipedian, is a long-time editor and community-watcher. He is also a paid editor (WWB Too). Well—not anymore—because he gave up direct editing of articles in 2011. Instead, for the past three years he has followed Jimmy Wales' Bright Line rule in acting as a researcher and consultant for companies and clients that want to suggest changes to Wikipedia articles and engage on the Talk page.

• Special report: Questions raised over secret voting for WMF trustees
  Last week we reported the announcement of two new affiliate-selected WMF trustees. The board of trustees is the most powerful and influential body in the movement, and chapters have been permitted to select two of the 10 seats since 2008, for two-year terms that start in even-numbered years.

• Featured content: Politics, ships, art, and cyclones
  Five articles, one list, twelve pictures, and one topic were promoted to 'featured' status last week on the English Wikipedia.

• News and notes: With paid advocacy in its sights, the Wikimedia Foundation amends their terms of use

  To the surprise of absolutely no one, the 2014 FIFA World Cup was the main draw this week, taking four slots.

It will be interesting to see what happens come next week's season finale.
