Loyal She Began, Loyal She Remains

[The Judge] said CSIS had used human sources that were unreliable. It invoked information that was outdated..."wiki-intel", plucked from reckless claims on Wikipedia. The judge also found CSIS and the federal ministers involved in breach of their duties of "good faith and candour" to the court.

“	There is every sign that Canadians are not just apathetic in the face of this abuse; most of them support it. Sometimes it seems that democracy isn't even skin-deep in this country. It vanishes at the first challenge. By sheer good luck, the challenges have never been severe enough to create major changes in our institutions, nor damage our smugness. That sense of confidence is poorly deserved and, like all illusions, more dangerous to our survival as a free country than any of the external challenges we might face.	”

Welcome to the biggest WikiCup Wikipedia has yet seen! Round one will take place over two months, and finish on February 26. There is only one pool, and the top 64 will progress. The competition will be tough, as more than half of the current competitors will not make it to round 2. Details about scoring have been finalized and are explained at Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring. Please make sure you're familiar with the scoring rules, because any submissions made that violate these rules will be removed. Like always, the judges can be reached through the WikiCup talk pages, on their talk page, or over IRC with any issues concerning anything tied to the Cup. We will keep in contact with you via weekly newsletters; if you do not want to receive them, please remove yourself from the list here. Conversely, if a non-WikiCup participant wishes to receive the newsletters, they may add themselves to that list. Well, enough talk- get writing! Your submission's page is located here. Details on how to submit your content is located here, so be sure to check that out! Once content has been recognized, it can be added to your submissions page, from which our bot will update the main score table. Remember that only articles worked on and nominated during the competition are eligible for points. Have fun, and good luck!

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Alleged Khadr 3.png. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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.

We are half way through round one of the WikiCup. We've had some shakeups regarding late entries, flag changes and early dropouts, but the competition is now established- there will be no more flag changes or new competitors. Congratulations to Sasata (submissions), our current leader, who, at the time of writing, has more listed points than Hunter Kahn (submissions) and TonyTheTiger (submissions) (second and third place respectively) combined. A special well done also goes to Fetchcomms (submissions)- his artcle Jewel Box (St. Louis, Missouri) was the first content to score points in the competition.

Around half of competitors are yet to score. Please remember to submit content soon after it is promoted, so that the judges are able to review entries. 64 of the 149 current competitors will advance to round 2- if you currently have no points, do not worry, as over half of the current top 64 have under 50 points. Everyone needs to get their entries in now to guarantee their places in round 2! If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages, by email or on IRC. Good luck!

A tag has been placed on File:VOss-Goebbels.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image licensed as "for non-commercial use only," "non-derivative use" or "used with permission," it has not been shown to comply with the limited standards for the use of non-free content.

Thanks for uploading File:LarryColburn2.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rettetast (talk) 10:55, 13 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The article Eutímio Guerra has been proposed for deletion. The proposed-deletion notice added to the article should explain why.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

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

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

• Since you created the article 4 years ago, I wanted to let you know about the recent proposal. I have added a paragraph of the incident to the relevant article (Che Guevara) and thus deem this one unnecessary and failing general WP:Notability guidelines. However, I am open to counter arguments.   Redthoreau -- (talk) 23:44, 15 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

As to your recent edits, erasing (though I had reflected them) any semblance of this major part of the Ahmed Ressam story -- why would you delete the fact that this month a US court of Appeals rule he "must be resentenced because his 22-year prison term was too short"? My most edit had fixed the failure of the article to properly reflect that, and now you've deleted mention of it. --Epeefleche (talk) 06:20, 16 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Tx. You may want to work in mention of AQ ... see for example this and this--Epeefleche (talk) 06:31, 16 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

And here are some good source docs ... the article is mighty thin on the facts ... his indictment, press release on his conviction on all counts, the recent opinion by the court of appeals, and DOJ's release on the decision. Cheers.--Epeefleche (talk) 06:37, 16 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Also, I think that that info most certainly belongs in the intro, as 1) the intro is small and can handle another sentence, and 2) this qualifies the information in the intro -- and the reader should be able to walk away from the intro w/a sense as to the current state of play (not the case as the intro now stands).--Epeefleche (talk) 06:39, 16 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Happy to work w/you on it. Agree the article needs a lot of work. Sorry that we have to start with a second disagreement. The intro should not indicate as it does what his sentence is without informing the reader that it is being extended. I don't think that many would disagree with that, and am happy for us to take it to the appropriate noticeboard if you like. It's a pretty basic issue. You already have recognized that his sentence is lead-notable. The fact that the number that you put in is not the real number is a no-no that I believe must be corrected by reference to the fact that it is being reviewed for extension (not those words, but more artful ones). And it doesn't matter that this happened after 10 years ... the wheels of justice are slow, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't correct the misimpression that the lede leaves one with. There is language in the DOJ release at his conviction, btw, as to what they thought the case was a "first" for. As to the other things you want to put in the lede, their fine as well -- ledes can be as long as four paras. What we have here is a stub (and misleading) lede, and a stub article. IMHO, of course.--Epeefleche (talk) 06:52, 16 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I would have to look at each article (which I'm not likely to do), but your add may not be that relevant to some of them. The warnings do more than one thing, along with the press conference relating to them. They ID'd the seven most sought AQ. The press conference spoke of the imminence of threats. Where the second point is the issue, your addition makes good sense. Where not, not so much imho (slightly off-topic Dem/Rep typical spatting about imminence of threat where that is not the issue in the article). Best.

On February 23, 2010, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Bomb-making instructions on the internet, which you created or substantially expanded.

Round one is over, and round two has begun! Congratulations to the 64 contestants who have made it through, but well done and thank you to all contestants who took part in our first round. A special well done goes to Sasata (submissions), our round one winner (1010 points), and to Hunter Kahn (submissions) and TonyTheTiger (submissions), who were second and third respectively (640 points/605 points). Sasata was awarded the most points for both good articles (300 points) and featured articles (600 points), and TonyTheTiger was awarded the most for featured topics (225 points), while Hunter Kahn claimed the most for good topics (70). Staxringold (submissions) claimed the most featured lists (240 points) and featured pictures (35 points), Geschichte (submissions) claimed the most for Did you know? entries (490 points), Jujutacular (submissions) claimed the most for featured sounds (70 points) and Candlewicke (submissions) claimed the most for In the news entries (40 points). No one claimed a featured portal or valued picture.

Credits awarded after the end of round one but before round two may be claimed in round two, but remember the rule that content must have been worked on in some significant way during 2010 by you for you to claim points. The groups for round two will be placed up shortly, and the submissions' pages will be blanked. This round will continue until 28 April, when the top two users from each group, as well as 16 wildcards, will progress to round three. Please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup; thank you to all doing this last round, and particularly to those helping at Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages, by email or on IRC. Good luck!

You might like this. Out of curiosity I did some Wiki-ing on the jpg file name. I don't speak a word of Finnish so I might be way off here:

Seitajärvellä 7. heinäkuuta 1944 partisaanit ottivat taloista ruokaa ja pyyheliinoja

7 July 1944, Seitajärvellä Partisans deprived of shelter, food and proper clothing

Seitajärvellä, also Seitajärven - ? a Finnish ethnic group ?

heinäkuu - July

partisaani - partisan

ottivat - to deprive, bereave; take

taloista - houses, buildings

ruokaa - food; meal

ja - and

pyyheliina - towel; towelling, terry cloth ?

Significance of 7 July 1944:

7. heinäkuuta – Neuvostoliittolaiset partisaanit tuhosivat Seitajärven kylän Savukoskella ja tappoivat 14 kylän asukasta.

7 July - Soviet partisans devastate Seitajärven villages in Savukoskella and murder 14 inhabitants.

Neuvostoliittolaiset - Soviet

tuhota - damage, destroy, devastate ; tuhopolttaja - arsonist ; tuhopoltto - arson

Seitajärven - ? an ethnic group ?

kylä - village

Savukoski - area in eastern Lappland

tappo - manslaughter

asukas - inhabitant, dweller

There were two wars between Finland and Soviet Union. Winter War and Continuation War so 1944 would put the image in the Continuation War. What a brave little country. It's interesting they only declassified it in 2006.

She was a probably rape victim as you suggest, the cloths and the notation for July 7 seem to indicate that. The jpg name seems to imply she's a Finnish partisan maybe killed in action. Confusing. A terrible loss of a precious life but the photo doesn't really humiliate her that I can tell. A good lithmus test, If it was me, maybe I wouldn't mind if people saw me like that. It might be a good image to use, though it might be an emotional thing for some Finns.

The baby image is disturbing but if you don't mind readers losing their cookies then go for it. I personally think that would be wrong but whatever. The Ripper picture - nice. Slightsmile (talk) 22:12, 5 March 2010 (UTC)Slightsmile[reply]

As I look at it some more, I think that:

Seitajärvellä 7. heinäkuuta 1944 partisaanit ottivat taloista ruokaa ja pyyheliinoja

probably should read:

Seitajärvellä 7 July 1944 Partisans deprived of shelter, food and proper clothing

So maybe she's a Russian partisan? Slightsmile (talk) 23:46, 5 March 2010 (UTC)Slightsmile[reply]

Round two is over, and we are down to our final 32. For anyone interested in the final standings (though not arranged by group) this page has been compiled. Congratulations to Hunter Kahn (submissions), our clear overall round winner, and to ThinkBlue (submissions) and Arsenikk (submissions), who were solidly second and third respectively. There were a good number of high scorers this round- competition was certainly tough! Round three begins tomorrow, but anything promoted after the end of round two is eligible for points. 16 contestants (eight pool leaders and eight wildcards) will progress to round four in two months- things are really starting to get competitive. Anything you worry may not receive the necessary attention before the end of the round (such as outstanding GA or FA nominations) is welcome at Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews, and please remember to continue offering reviews yourself where possible. As always, the judges are available to contact via email, IRC or their talk pages, and general discussion about the Cup is welcome on the WikiCup talk page.

Judge iMatthew has retired from Wikipedia, and we wish him the best. The competition has been ticking over well with minimal need for judge intervention, so thank you to everyone making that possible. A special thank you goes to participants Stone (submissions) and White Shadows (submissions) for their help in preparing for round three. Good luck everyone! If you wish to start receiving or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

Thanks for uploading File:Voss-called-to-identify.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

• make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
• Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-enwikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-enwikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. FASTILY_sock^(TALK) 04:29, 3 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please bear in mind that boiler-plate tags are insufficient as fair-use rationale. DO NOT remove the deletion tags until you have provided adequate fair use rationale. -FASTILY_sock^(TALK) 04:45, 3 May 2010

Neither rely on boilerplate tags, both have individual rationales. Sherurcij ^{(speaker for the dead)} 04:55, 3 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please carefully read WP:IUP, WP:FUG, WP:ICT, and the license tags you applied yourself. They will all tell you that a separate fair use rationale is required. Also, refrain from removing the deletion tags if you have not provided adequate fair use rationale as such is considered disruptive editing. This your last warning; continue to remove deletion tags and I will not hesitate to block you from editing. -FASTILY_sock^(TALK) 05:31, 3 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
