Question from Lallint (16:52, 25 February 2022)

Do you have any suggestions for cleaning up my sandbox? other than expanding media and notable people --Lallint⟫⟫⟫Talk 16:52, 25 February 2022 (UTC)

 Reviewing... check back in about 1 hour Justiyaya 16:56, 25 February 2022 (UTC)

Hi @Lallint, really good improvements to the article there in your sandbox. Although I'm not well versed in article improvement, here's some suggested changes that I came up with looking at the article for about an hour:

1. In early 2019, Watertown was named "The Least Politically Prejudiced Place in America". — Wikipedia:Manual of Style#Attribution issues? in lead section as well
2. Jefferson Community College (JCC) is located in the western part of the city near the county fairgrounds. — Is located in the geography section, probably should be moved to the education section with a reference added
3. The article, mainly the geography, sports, media, and in popular culture sections needs more citations
4. The Watertown Wolves have played at the municipal arena at the fairgrounds since 2012. They are a member of the Federal Prospects Hockey League and have won two titles, in 2015 and 2018. — Same sentence repeated twice in the same section
5. In the education section "There is also a Faith Fellowship Christian School." is unreferenced
6. In general, articles about cities don't mention individual companies in their leads (LA, CA does not mention any and NYC only mentions 2 stock exchanges), consider removing those, unless you think that these companies are really important to the topic (the city), see MOS:LEAD

If you have any questions, or want more feedback, feel free to leave another message here, thanks and happy editing :D

References

Thanks for your suggestions, I'm working on them right now, now that I think about it moving Jefferson Community College to Higher Education and giving a broad overview is a good idea and I'm surprised that I didn't think about it before.Lallint⟫⟫⟫Talk 18:06, 25 February 2022 (UTC)

Lallint think it's already in the education section but needs a reference there, I'm not so sure about having a separate higher education section if there is only one college in the city that would be mentioned (is the case for the article right now). Might be offwiki for the next few hours, got things irl, good luck working on the article! Justiyaya 18:15, 25 February 2022 (UTC)

Would adding by The Atlantic at the end of the politically prejudiced quote be good or should I say by Amanda Ripley of The Atlantic? Lallint⟫⟫⟫Talk 18:08, 25 February 2022 (UTC)

Not sure, either is fine I think, personally I would just remove the quote from the lead or the article entirely if this is the only RS covering it Justiyaya 18:15, 25 February 2022 (UTC)

I still think it deserves a mention somewhere, though Lallint⟫⟫⟫Talk 18:19, 25 February 2022 (UTC)

So I looked it up and it turns out that quite a few other articles are also saying this Lallint⟫⟫⟫Talk 18:42, 25 February 2022 (UTC)

@Lallint Hmm yeah reading through the Atlantic article it seems to be analysis conducted by PredictWise for the Atlantic, maybe paraphrasing would be a better option here with intext attribution if all the newspapers point to PredictWise. Justiyaya 02:59, 26 February 2022 (UTC)

Question from Hosambaloch (00:49, 9 March 2022)

hello i want to write an article on my music career frrom where can i start? --Hosambaloch (talk) 00:49, 9 March 2022 (UTC)

Hi Hosambaloch, welcome to Wikipedia! Writing an article about your self is strongly discouraged here. If you want to start contributing to Wikipedia, see WP:TASK, thank you! Justiyaya 01:47, 9 March 2022 (UTC)

Hi Hosambaloch, you should know that editing with a COI (where you have a personal connection with the subject of the article) is strongly discouraged as it can produce biased work that may not comply with WP:NPOV.
Also, if you really want to do so, you should make sure the subject is notable enough to deserve its own article here (a good way to determine this is checking online to make sure there are sources that cover this, as all Wikipedia articles must be referenced properly.
If you're sure you want to continue, you should check out WP:YFA for basics about writing articles. Liamyangll (talk to me!) 01:48, 9 March 2022 (UTC) (talk page watcher)

thank you so much for your guidence Hosambaloch (talk) 19:30, 9 March 2022 (UTC)

No problem, feel free to message Justiyaya or me if you have any more questions! Liamyangll (talk to me!) 21:48, 9 March 2022 (UTC) (talk page watcher)

Growth Newsletter #20

Welcome to the twentieth newsletter from the Growth team!

The Growth team's objective is to work on software changes that help retain new contributors in Wikimedia projects.

Suggested edits

As of February, 300,000 suggested edits have been completed since the feature was first deployed in December 2019.

Add a link is the team's first structured task, deployed in May 2021. It has improved outcomes for newcomers. The team is now working on a second iteration based on community feedback and data analysis. Improvements will include: improved algorithmic suggestions, guardrails to prevent too many similar links to be added, and clearer encouragement for users to continue making edits. After adding these improvements, we will deploy this task to more Wikipedias.

Add an image is the second structured task built by our team. It was deployed in November 2021 to four pilot Wikipedias. This is a more challenging task for newcomers. However, it adds more value to articles (so far, over 1,000 images have been added). We are currently learning from communities and from the data on what is working well and what needs improvements. The project page contains links to interactive prototypes. We are very interested to hear your thoughts on this idea as we build and test the early versions. We will soon deploy this task to more Wikipedias as a test.

"Add a link" and "Add an image" now both have a limitation on how many of these tasks newcomers can do per day. It is meant to discourage careless newcomers from making too many problematic edits.

Positive reinforcement

Over the last two years, the Growth team has focused on building suggested edits: easy tasks for newcomers to start with. We have learned with this experience that these tasks help many newcomers to make their first edits. Now, the team is starting a new project : "positive reinforcement". Its goal is to make newcomers proud of their editing and to make them want to come back for more of them. With the positive reinforcement project, we are considering three kinds of features:

• Impact stats: give newcomers the ability to see how many people read the articles they edit.
• Leveling up: encourage newcomers to progress from easier tasks to harder tasks.
• Personalized praise: encourage mentors and other editors to "thank" and award newcomers for good work.

This project is just beginning, and we hope for community thoughts on the direction. We know that things can wrong if we offer the wrong incentives to newcomers, so we want to be careful. Please visit the talk page to help guide the project!

News for mentors

• The mentor dashboard is available at all wikis. It helps mentors see who their mentees are and keep track of their activity. It is automatically activated where a list of mentors has been created. If you need assistance to create a list of mentors, please contact us.
• The mentor dashboard has a new module: settings. It is now possible for mentors to define their status (active or away). They can specify the volume of questions they want to receive, and they can claim mentees in an easier way. It is also possible for mentors to quit, which will automatically reassign their mentees to other mentors.
• We are working on an ability for a mentee to opt-out (and back in) to having a mentor.
• Previously, in the table that displays mentees activity, the filters displayed all mentees, even the ones with zero edits or lots of edits. We have changed this so that only mentees with between 1 and 500 edits are visible by default. Mentors can change this value in their filters.
• We are currently working on a special page for mentors to sign-up.

Some wikis have created userboxes that mentors can display on the user pages. If your wiki has one, please link it to Wikidata!

Scaling

Previously, at most Wikipedias, only 80% of newcomers were getting the Growth features. This was done for experimentation, to have a control group. We have changed this setting. Now 100% of new accounts at all Wikipedias get the Growth features (except a few, kept as test wikis). We invite communities to update their onboarding documentation and tutorials. Please include the Growth features in it. To help you, we have created an help page that can be translated and adapted to your wiki.

How to help

Do you have questions about the Growth features? This translatable FAQ contains answers to the most common questions about the Growth team work. We regularly update it.

Interface translations are important for newcomers. Please help for your language, by translating or copyediting interface translations for the Growth features.

Question from NeverTry4Me (14:08, 19 March 2022)

May I edit as per Suggestbot's suggestion, if someone of those lists is personally known to me? Few such suggestions are personally known to me. I am a bit confused here. Please assist me. --NeverTry4Me - TT Page 14:08, 19 March 2022 (UTC)

Hi @NeverTry4Me I would strongly discourage you from doing so, as it probably would constitute a conflict of interest. Would suggest working on another article (there's a lot more articles needing improvements :)

Have a great day and happy editing :D, feel free to ask another question or reply below if you need me to clarify! Justiyaya 15:05, 19 March 2022 (UTC)

@Justiyaya: Do I need to revert to one that I added citations to fix the things? (Just knew him decade back, had virtual contact but never met in person. For more than a decade, we don't have any contact.) - NeverTry4Me - TT Page 15:10, 19 March 2022 (UTC)

@NeverTry4Me I don't think you should self revert here, I mentioned above that it would probably constitute a conflict of interest without really understanding the situation... sorry about that, assumed that it was a much more serious case of COI and not knew the person online 10 years ago kinda COI. I would say that you would probably be fine editing the article. It would probably be preferred if you disclosed the conflict of interest on your userpage (say basically what you said above). Thanks and sorry about that! Justiyaya 15:44, 19 March 2022 (UTC)

It's best that you give WP:COI, specifically WP:EXTERNALREL a read, they might be helpful :D Justiyaya 15:49, 19 March 2022 (UTC)
