New Statistics Table There has been an upgrade to the WP 1.0 bot that updates our project's summary table. The new table lists all page classes including Portal-class, Redirect-class, and Disambig-class. We now have a better picture of the scope of the WikiProject and the pages that we cover. New York Times to charge for access The New York Times is an invaluable resource for properly referencing articles, but especially due to its extensive archives and coverage of New Jersey issues. The announcement that metered content will be started in 2011 has the potential to make article sourcing much more difficult. It also causes a need to update linked sources in articles before all of the NYT links go dead. Any link can be archived on demand by using WebCite. We can help avoid dead links by archiving any article sources from the NYT. |
The following articles may be in need of attention:

All BLP, All the Time | New WPNJ members | ||
BLP Issue Boils Over There are discussions all over the 'pedia about deleting close to 50,000 unreferenced Biographies of Living People. We won't get into a rehash here, but let's just look at what we can do. There is a new item on the project task list for sourcing BLPs. All articles that are in both Category:People from New Jersey and Category:All unreferenced BLPs are now available on this work list. These articles need to be sourced, PRODded, or sent to AfD. An ounce of prevention Unreferenced BLPs are one of the catgories regularly listed in the WPNJ Cleanup listing. New articles are also a prime location to find articles that do not yet have references. You can keep an eye on the New Articles list to help prevent the workload from getting any larger. Can we do more? There are bots that will automatically add the WPNJ Project Banner to all articles in our designated categories if we have consensus to request it. Join the discussion here. |
Please welcome the following new members to WikiProject New Jersey:

In NJ, politics means article updates | Help Wanted | ||
New Leaders in NJ Government Over the past 2 weeks, new legislators have been sworn in, the legislature has new leadership, the 55th Governor of New Jersey has been inaugurated, and we have our first Lt. Governor. All new members of the Legislature have at least stub articles, and many of the templates have been updated. Updating templates Many New Jersey articles utilize stadardized templates to convey information. With elections happening as often as they do in this state, January is always a good time to review these templates and update them with new information. Does your town or county have new elected officials? It's maintainance time on many of our articles on municipalities and counties as well. |

Editor's Notes | |||
Editor's news Must have been some winter holiday season in New Jersey, because the project talk page has been unusually quiet. I thought with all that snow, many of us would be inside and doing things here at WP. I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season and are enjoying a healthy and happy 2010!! - Jim Miller See me | Touch me | |||

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!

Hello, Alansohn. This message is being sent to inform you that there currently is a discussion at Wikipedia:Wikiquette alerts regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. — Good Ol’factory (talk) 21:12, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
Both Good Olfactory and Postdlf, who have been directly involved in this conflict, have imposed blocks and threatened to impose blocks for various manufactured incidents, despite their rather clear and continuing conflict of interest. This pattern of harassment has continued despite rather clear changes in the tone that they have requested. Good Olfactory, in particular, has made an effort to actively misinterpret any form of communication, whether he was involved or not, and no matter how trivial, as some sort of personal affront. Just as you make the far clearer and ominous threat of some oogie-boogie "further sanction proposals", the word "threat" that has become the cause celebre here was rather clear as well; If the category in question was approved at DRV it would be deleted via CfD. This is a rather clear definition of the word "threat" as "an indication of something impending" straight out of Merriam-Webster. As such, your bad faith insistence that "Good Olfactory's comment could not reasonably be construed as a threat" is uncivil and unacceptable; I will not apologize or make changes for what you describe as Good Olfactory's "overreaction". Despite Good Olfactory's persistent and abusive efforts to shut me up, I will not be silenced. As has already been done, I will make further efforts to tone down my remarks so that even the most sensitive among us can not be rationally offended.

Hi Alan. Just letting you know that I've tagged Woodbury Public Schools as a copyvio. Regards, Theleftorium 21:03, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

Hello, I am known here as User:Reenem, and I have seen your recent warning to the IP address of my school. This is the IP address of Torrey Pines High School. It just returned from a long block after a lot of guys here though vandalism was funny, and apparently, they don't get the message. I just wanted to let you know that you are dealing with something far bigger than you think. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.66.200.45 (talk) 21:28, 24 February 2010 (UTC)
Hi Alansohn, I'm unsure why you have reverted the brass page back to before my edits. As far as I can see the material I added was constructive and correct. The small amount of material I removed, dealing with the history of brass near the head of the page, was unreferenced and misleading and I replaced it with text which I believe to be much clearer and more useful.I think I'm going to revert to page back to include my edits but if you want to get in contact and explain the problem and any way I can resolve it that would be great (Michael D L Marshall (talk) 03:51, 25 February 2010 (UTC))
I see you placed a vandalism warning on User talk:68.189.43.141, using Huggle. Unfortunately the link to the relevant edit was wrong, and led only to a "404 error: File not found" page. I have replaced the link with what I have no doubt was the correct one. I guess that the error was due to a bug in Huggle, but I thought I would let you know just in case you had made some mistake, and also because it seems that courtesy requires an explanation when changing someone else's edit.

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.

Hello, I just left this message to Altenmann (User_talk:Altenmann&curid=22678905&diff=347765047&oldid=347738460). While some of today's edit by the anonymous IP to the filmography were okay, this IP was introducing unsourced commentary into the article. With a popular artist like Eiza, this "fan-type" happens quite a bit and can take an article into where it is polluted with more fansite type edits.--Morenooso (talk) 20:08, 4 March 2010 (UTC)
Hello, I have a slight problem on another page and noticed your WikiStars. On Somos El Mundo an editor made several edits yesterday. As with Eiza, I had problems keeping up with him. When he finally stopped (I imagine because he was done), I checked his reference. Unfortunately, it appears he translated the citation and posted it almost verbatim into the article which makes it a copyvio. Because I have editted that article and done revisions, I did not want to bump up against a 3RRR violation. I made a note on the talkpage but I believe the other editors don't know what a copyvio is. Could you please look at this article. You should be able to copy the URL and have Google translate it. Thanks, --Morenooso (talk) 20:58, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

The Dragonica article has had a long list of what I see as indiscriminate information for a long time.

In the afternoon, we will hold a session dedicated to meta:Wikimedia New York City activities, review the recent Wikipedia Day NYC, plan for the next stages of projects like Wikipedia at the Library and Lights Camera Wiki, and hold salon-style group discussions on Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia projects, for example User:ScienceApologist will present on "climate change, alternative medicine, UFOs and Transcendental Meditation" (see the November meeting's minutes).
In the evening, we'll share dinner and chat at a local restaurant, and generally enjoy ourselves and kick back. And if the weather is good, we'll have a star party with the telescopes on the roof of Pupin Hall!
You can add or remove your name from the New York City Meetups invite list at Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC/Invite list.

I made numerous changes to the "Don Draper" page; later I got a message saying my edits had been reverted because they were "unconstructive" and that I needed proof.
Of course, I made the changes because the prior text was wrong. I reinstalled the edits when I added a footnote to source material that documented my editing.
Then, from you, another reversion, this time with no explanation whatever, and only a couple of minutes later, apparently.
So the information posted is wrong, and I can't get it fixed to be right.
What's up?

I left a message on Bender235's talk page asking why he moved Livingston High School (New Jersey) to Livingston High School (Livingston, New Jersey) since there is only one LHS in the state. He replied "This is simply the standard scheme for school disambigs. School (city, state). Even if there's only one School in that particular state." I have to completely disagree with this, but before I move any further I wanted your input. Why should any high school be required to have its city and state name if it's the only one of its kind in that state? Doesn't that seem ridiculous? I would appreciate your opinion being placed in the appropriate section on Bender235's talk page so that it all may be kept together. Thanks in advance. Jrcla2 (talk) 15:52, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

Hi. This article has come up for copyright review in evaluation of a WP:CCI, but the content which looks to be duplicated seems to date back to its origin, here. That content looks as though it may have been copied, perhaps with minimal alteration, from the official site, given the current version here. I have blanked the sections that contain material of concern and listed the article at the copyright problems board to allow time to gather more information. If we cannot verify permission for this material or show other reason why it is ours by right, it will very likely have to be removed. I know this is quite, quite old and very early in your contributions, and I don't doubt that if it is copied without permission that you have long since become familiar with WP:C. Any input you can offer on the article's talk page about the history of this text would be appreciated. Thanks. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 23:32, 30 March 2010 (UTC)
We're half way through round two, and everything is running smoothly. Hunter Kahn (submissions) leads overall with 650 points this round, and heads pool B.

In the afternoon, we will hold a session dedicated to meta:Wikimedia New York City activities, review the recent Wikimedia Chapters Meeting 2010, plan for the next stages of projects like Wiki-Conference NYC and Wikipedia Cultural Embassy, and hold salon-style group discussions on Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia projects (see the March meeting's minutes).
In the evening, we'll share dinner and chat at a local restaurant, and generally enjoy ourselves and kick back.
You can add or remove your name from the New York City Meetups invite list at Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC/Invite list.
To keep up-to-date on local events, you can also join our mailing list.

Hello, I looked through the history of Junípero Serra, saw your name and think you know me like I know you. An editor, who has not been active on this article, has come into it now. He has a history of being over-zealous in dismantling articles that have controversy sections in them regarding Spanish saints or blesseds like this one. He did the same with John Bosco. Could you take a look? ----moreno oso (talk) 21:41, 14 May 2010 (UTC)

There's disagreement about what might an an appropriate direction for this article to go in, or at least the inclusion of available fotos. I am of the thought that the skyline view is what makes the boulevard notable. Would you be willing to way in on this? ThanksDjflem (talk) 20:17, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

We are half way through round 3, with a little under a month to go. The current overall leader is Sasata (submissions), who has 570 points. He leads pool C. Pools A, B and D are led by
Hunter Kahn (submissions),
Sturmvogel_66 (submissions) and
White Shadows (submissions) respectively. 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.
Two of last year's final 8, Theleftorium (submissions) and
Scorpion0422 (submissions), have dropped out of the competition, saying they would rather their place went to someone who will have more time on their hands than them next round. On a related note, a special thank you goes to
White Shadows (submissions) for his help behind the scenes once again. There is currently a problem with the poster, perhaps caused by the new skin- take a look at this discussion and see if you can help. The competition has continued to tick over well with minimal need for judge intervention, so thank you to everyone making that possible. Good luck to all!
