WikiProject BPL[edit]

Hi. Welcome back. As you are now somewhat active in Wikipedia, can you help me improve WP:BPL? I am aware of the fact that you are the founder of the project and I need help as I am the only active member for doing a huge task. I have tried hard to convert the project from inactive to active. Also your talk page is huge. You might want to clear this clutter by archiving them using bot like how I'm doing.Thanks. Human (talk) 06:10, 23 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello @A Simple Human:, it's very nice to meet you. I saw every detail of the project. In fact I used to stalk the project even if I was inactive. So, I have the plan to look after the project, hence making it count once more. But you see, it's been merely a week since I've come here, so I need to fix and do a sufficient number of tasks which are not the tasks to be done by any Genie. The talk page is one of them. So, before moving on to new tasks, I'll first try to finish these tasks and I need that much time before taking another assignment. So, till then I'll just be watching the project. Also in the case we are the lone active members thinking about the project then we need some platform to do some RTCs which'll allow us to utilize the time with most effectiveness. Until then, for any urgency, do email me. Thanks in advance. --PratyyaG (talk) 06:53, 24 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
i am not forcing anyone. Just some things get me concerned that newer leagues like PSL and LPL, starting a lot later than BPL, have WikiProjects (both of which I am part of) and are seeming to be better maintained than this one. I joined this project around 2017 and its astonishing that I am the only active member. Another user was of much help last season but he was blocked for sockpuppetry. Also I am very bad at categorising articles, so things are messed up. But take your time, no need to rush in here. Good luck! Human (talk) 07:10, 24 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@A Simple Human:, It's not about force. As the founder of the project, this project is something very special to me. Now I got your concern. But just don't be concerned by this. Time has the answer to everything. I am a bit sad that you couldn't see WP:IPL in it's peak days, but the project is now thought to be semi-active. You are in this project since 2017. In 2013 when I founded this project, it was fair enough active (I'm not going to compare with IPL as IPL was at peak in that time). You see time will have the answer to everything. So don't be concerned, just have faith. And one more thing, improvement of these projects solely depend on the activeness of the people of that specific country. You see now-a-days you see lot from Bangladesh editing in enwiki. But still its not enough as most of the people are editing in bnwiki. Earlier in 2013 it was more barren land. You could get merely 2-3 users from Bangladesh at enwiki arena. So point is have faith even with the limited number of sources. TIA. --PratyyaG (talk) 07:28, 24 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Yep. WP:IPL is dead now. But IPL articles are nevertheless gets updated due to India's large internet population. Internet is basically free in India, thanks to a billionaire, which is why you see many Indian editors unlike BD. Also English is the second official language besides Hindi unlike ours which explains there participation in enwiki. Even now, I find it hard to find Bangladeshi pedians. I tried gathering opinions about the cause, and most of them were like, "It's too boring". This is a major problem of the country. The most active of these WikiProjects is i guess is WP:PSL surprisingly. Human ([[User talk:A Simple Human|talk]) 07:43, 24 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@A Simple Human:, I was wondering if you are still there regarding WP:BPL? --PratyyaG · Talk 10:51, 7 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Curious your perspective[edit]

While doing RCP a few weeks ago, I stumbled upon a bunch of puffery, advertisement-like, and other edits which have been coming from a sock/meatpuppeter or two on Bangladeshi medical college pages. A lot of these edits are unsourced and a few of the socks even uploaded some stolen content on the Commons (of which you're active). Given you're much more knowledgeable in Bangladeshi content, it would help if you could help me find some sources for a lot of these pages and help watch these socks as they do their thing. They're pretty active in that. Below are pages of which they are actively targeting:

Reply tool[edit]

Graph of Reply tool and full-page wikitext edit completion rates
Completion rates for comments made with the Reply tool and full-page wikitext editing. Details and limitations are in this report.

The Reply tool is available at most other Wikipedias.

  • The Reply tool has been deployed as an opt-out preference to all editors at the Arabic, Czech, and Hungarian Wikipedias.
  • It is also available as a Beta Feature at almost all Wikipedias except for the English, Russian, and German-language Wikipedias. If it is not available at your wiki, you can request it by following these simple instructions.

Research notes:

  • As of January 2021, more than 3,500 editors have used the Reply tool to post about 70,000 comments.
  • There is preliminary data from the Arabic, Czech, and Hungarian Wikipedia on the Reply tool. Junior Contributors who use the Reply tool are more likely to publish the comments that they start writing than those who use full-page wikitext editing.[1]
  • The Editing and Parsing teams have significantly reduced the number of edits that affect other parts of the page. About 0.3% of edits did this during the last month.[2] Some of the remaining changes are automatic corrections for Special:LintErrors.
  • A large A/B test will start soon.[3] This is part of the process to offer the Reply tool to everyone. During this test, half of all editors at 24 Wikipedias (not including the English Wikipedia) will have the Reply tool automatically enabled, and half will not. Editors at those Wikipeedias can still turn it on or off for their own accounts in Special:Preferences.

New discussion tool[edit]

Screenshot of version 1.0 of the New Discussion Tool prototype.

The new tool for starting new discussions (new sections) will join the Discussion tools in Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-betafeatures at the end of January. You can try the tool for yourself.[4] You can leave feedback in this thread or on the talk page.

Next: Notifications[edit]

During Talk pages consultation 2019, editors said that it should be easier to know about new activity in conversations they are interested in. The Notifications project is just beginning. What would help you become aware of new comments? What's working with the current system? Which pages at your wiki should the team look at? Please post your advice at mw:Talk:Talk pages project/Notifications.

WikiCup 2021 March newsletter[edit]

Round 1 of the competition has finished; it was a high-scoring round with 21 contestants scoring more than 100 points. Everyone with a positive score moves on to Round 2, with 55 contestants qualifying. You will need to finish among the top thirty-two contestants in Round 2 if you are to qualify for Round 3. Our top scorers in Round 1 were:

  • New York (state) Epicgenius led the field with a featured article, nine good articles and an assortment of other submissions, specialising on buildings and locations in New York, for a total of 945 points.
  • Republic of Venice Bloom6132 was close behind with 896 points, largely gained from 71 "In the news" items, mostly recent deaths.
  • Scotland ImaginesTigers, who has been editing Wikipedia for less than a year, was in third place with 711 points, much helped by bringing League of Legends to featured article status, exemplifying how bonus points can boost a contestant's score.
  • Rwanda Amakuru came next with 708 points, Kigali being another featured article that scored maximum bonus points.
  • Ktin, new to the WikiCup, was in fifth place with 523 points, garnered from 15 DYKs and 34 "In the news" items.
  • Botswana The Rambling Man scored 511 points, many from featured article candidate reviews and from football related DYKs.
  • Gog the Mild, last year's runner-up, came next with 498 points, from a featured article and numerous featured article candidate reviews.
  • Hog Farm, at 452, scored for a featured article, four good articles and a number of reviews.
  • United States Le Panini, another newcomer to the WikiCup, scored 438 for a featured article and three good articles.
  • England Lee Vilenski, last year's champion, scored 332 points, from a featured article and various other sport-related topics.

These contestants, like all the others, now have to start again from scratch. In Round 1, contestants achieved eight featured articles, three featured lists and one featured picture, as well as around two hundred DYKs and twenty-seven ITNs. They completed 97 good article reviews, nearly double the 52 good articles they claimed. Contestants also claimed for 135 featured article and featured list candidate reviews. There is no longer a requirement to mention your WikiCup participation when undertaking these reviews.

Remember that any content promoted after the end of Round 1 but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. 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 a good article candidate, a featured process, or something 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 keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send. Sturmvogel 66 (talk) and Cwmhiraeth (talk).
