About Kongpulse
So yeah, I know I should whisper on Kongregate, but it doesn't really matter. On Kongpulse, when we do the Finals of the Head to Head battles 2010, we'll select ten players to go through to the first final stage, right? Well, what if we have seven players who are all seventh? Do they all go through? What should we do? Maybe we should let them, if someonething like this happened, go through, and in the first round of the Finals, just eliminate everyone who typed less than the eighth best. What do you think? JaumeBG 01:20, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
- Well, after eliminating any inactive people, if there's any draws, we'll check their H2H record. For instance, someone who's been in 13 H2H's and has 13 points will have priority over someone who's been in 30 and has 13 points. If that still leaves a draw, it will be decided by any previous battles between those contestants.
- Okay, great! :D JaumeBG 06:39, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
- I guess the whole "Keep it a secret" thing is over now then? Sellyme (talk) 06:40, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
- Well, I don't think they'll check your user talk page on Wikipedia. Do you? JaumeBG 09:11, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
- Except for this one thing: "Yeah, we should, and more users who're regulars in Kongregate too would also be nice. JaumeBG 3:34 pm, 24 October 2010, last Sunday (5 days ago) (UTC+10.5)" Sellyme (talk) 10:09, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

Signature
Hey there, I realise you changed your signature rather recently. You didn't switch to red because I suggested it for WP:MSE did you? Haha. Anyway, I would advise you use a less glossy colour for your signature, since I do get distracted when reading your comments. And some editors might not like it. Regards, ANGCHENRUI WP:MSE♨ 09:12, 1 November 2010 (UTC)
- Nah, I changed my signature to red 3 days ago or so. Might change it to a teal-ish colour. Not really sure though. SellymeTalk 09:22, 1 November 2010 (UTC)
Quit message on mIRC
Hi selly, I was just wondering, on mIRC, when you leave, you always have the message of "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!", so I was wondering how I can change my default to that? Thanks! ) JaumeBG 11:09, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

Re: Andres Molteni
Holy God... You should check before you write something stupid. Look, there are the rules of Wikipedia:Notability for tennis - And what did you see here? I can see this: "The player has won at least one title in any of the ATP Men's Challenger tournaments". 2011 Challenger Salinas Diario Expreso – Singles - WOW, what? Molteni PASSES WP:Notability now. Oh, that was unbelievable!
..... Au revoir :|. PL Alvarez Talk, 13:25, 6 March 2011 (UTC).
- I'm fully aware of the rules for Notability in Tennis articles, but as it was something like 1am when I saw you created Andres Molteni, I did not notice that he had won a Challenger tournament. No need to freaking abuse me for it. SellymeTalk 22:35, 6 March 2011 (UTC)
- Just saw this. Unacceptable behaviour. You don't need to responed to that. I've warned the user. KnowIG (talk) 14:33, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
- I generally go with the old "Assume Good Faith" rule, and assume he's just having a bad day, which is why he's slightly volatile. Of course, that's just the sophisticated way of saying I like a good argument :P SellymeTalk 22:05, 10 March 2011 (UTC)

Banana Republic
I once again state that the definition of Banana Republic is static, and according to it the USA now belongs to that category. I did not cause the political turmoil, or the corruption. Those are documented facts. Argue with them not me. My statements are neutral and I will continue to fight for them. Byron670 (talk) 01:14, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
- Your statements are not neutral. Regardless of the truth, you have to adhere by WP:NPOV and be completely neutral. I think America is a run-down shithole that no-one could possibly want to live in, but I don't edit pages with my feelings about it. SellymeTalk 01:16, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
You are just stating your opinion. I have adhered to the guidelinesByron670 (talk) 01:17, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
- Not according to any of the other users who also disagree with you. SellymeTalk 01:18, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
Which is also their opinion and also biased. I removed the biased words. Now there are only facts.Byron670 (talk) 01:19, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
- That's much better, but it still uses many weasel words and portrays negativity. I agree that the content could be there, but not in its current state. SellymeTalk 01:21, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
Thank you. A Banana Republic is a negative statement however, as it says above, pejorative. It is corruption incarnate. I cannot make something fascist and authoritarian seem light and fluffy.Byron670 (talk) 01:34, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
- It is possible, but only with a lot of editing. For example, look at Fascist. SellymeTalk 01:40, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
Port Adelaide Football Club season article
Hi Sellyme, I might be an idea to defying who is home and away mainly by the AFL normally would have the home team's score first followed by the away's team. I suggested you keep this format and just have Port's score in bold.
Yours Thanksful,

2011 PAG
Thank you for registering (I know its a bad word to use here) for putting up the results. Any sports in particular you won't to do? Anyways most of the afternoon section of events should be before midnight local time in Australia so I think that should not be a problem. Intoronto1125 (talk) 03:28, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
- Even if it was after midnight it wouldn't be a problem, I stay up to about 4am. But I'm not sure as to specific sports, I generally try to update as much as I can as quickly as I can, so I tend to cover everything. I'd probably be more interested in Head-to-head sports (i.e., one team/person against another, unlike athletics/diving, etc), but as I said, I'll try to do as much as I can. SellymeTalk 04:44, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
- Judo, Taekwondo, Boxing etc.? Intoronto1125 (talk) 17:46, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
- I was thinking more along the lines of Handball, Rugby Sevens, Football, Beach Vollyeball, Table Tennis, Tennis, etc. SellymeTalk 01:32, 3 April 2011 (UTC)
- Ok, that would be great! I think the later three sports probably will need the most help if anything. Thanks. Intoronto1125 (talk) 03:47, 3 April 2011 (UTC)

Cleaningup
Thanks for the syntax edits to Ferdinand Anker! Geschichte (talk) 12:13, 8 April 2011 (UTC)
- No problem! I always like helping out new articles where I can. In fact, I was going to do a bit more for that article, but had to quickly do something and wanted to avoid an edit conflict. I like how the references section is larger than the main article :P SellymeTalk 12:16, 8 April 2011 (UTC)
Userpage
Hey, thanks for updating... Kante4 (talk) 15:04, 8 April 2011 (UTC)
- No problem! I always have the urge to make the tiniest of fixes wherever possible, so when I noticed that your userbox was out of date I had to update it :). SellymeTalk 15:08, 8 April 2011 (UTC)
AWB
Please slow down and review your edits more carefully. You are using AWB for mass edits and creating false positives. For example, you just tagged a soft-redirect as having "multiple issues" in part because it's an orphan. Redirects are supposed to be orphans. You also tagged it as a stub which redirects are not by definition. Rossami (talk) 03:30, 9 April 2011 (UTC)
- Whoops, I hit the wrong button. Thanks for notifying me of that. I don't know how I even ended up on a soft-redirect page, I have AWB set to skip them. Sorry! SellymeTalk 03:33, 9 April 2011 (UTC)
Hi Sellyme/Archive 2. Thank you for cleaning up articles. Using AWB for such clean ups is not recommended - Upskirt (game), a two-line stub, is hardly likely to have any content that can be Wikified. Please read Wikipedia:WikiProject Wikify and bear in mind that the use of AWB is a right that can be revoked. Rather than tagging, consider doing any necessary short improvements yourself. If you need any help understanding our instructions for page patrolling, don't hesitate to ask me on my talk page. Happy editing! --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 09:59, 9 April 2011 (UTC)
- The reason I generally use AWB for trying to improve poorly written new articles is because on AWB my average page load time is 3-4 seconds, whereas it is around 3 minutes on Firefox and Chrome, and well over 5 minutes for IE/Camino/Safari/Opera/XBrowser/Paint. I understand that this occasionally creates issues with regards to my human error, but you've got to make mistakes to learn what not to do, and I believe that thanks to a bit of trial and error I'm now fairly proficient with AWB. In regards to Wikifying myself, I generally do attempt to make any grammatical/structural improvements as I can (As evident with my recent contributions to the influx of Iranian articles on Friday), but in this case I wasn't exactly sure what I could do with regards to Upskirt (game). I'm generally of the opinion that a good-faith article - even if it is almost certain to be deleted - is in the need of improvement until the moment it is actually deleted. Thanks for linking me to WikiProject Wikify though, I did learn a few new things! SellymeTalk 10:49, 9 April 2011 (UTC)
Score of tie-breaks (reply)
I want to communicate that it is not necessary to put the score on the winner of the tie-break, for reasons totally obvious if you already have the score of the loser, has no need to put the score of the winner. On this basis, automatically know the score of the winner. And this is also standard on Wikipedia and the official scores of the ATP Tour and WTA. I do beg you not to further alter the score of the games. I ask that you please not do that anymore. Preceding unsigned comment added by Egtj (talk) 10:04, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
- This is incorrect Egtj. Wikipeida POLICY is to always show both scores of the tiebreak when not in prose. Many novice tennis readers do not understand the nomenclature of only one score so it was decided that both winning and losing tiebreak scores must be present. Fyunck(click) (talk) 19:07, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
- Fyunck is completely correct. While most people knowledgable with tennis completely understand just the loser's tie-break score, they are in the minority. Unlike the ATPWorldTour website, or any grand slam website, which will have a userbase composed entirely of tennis supporters, most Wikipedians will not understand the tie-break scoring system (Or at least, be confused as to why the winner's score isn't shown). That's why we're meant to leave the tie-break there. SellymeTalk 22:37, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
Segunda División B
Unlike in England, when a team has the same points as another team we look at how they did on their two matches when they played each other (only when they have played twice against each other). If the tie is between more than one team, we do a league between those teams (only if they have all played against each other twice). However, in this tie in Group 3 Lleida still needs to play L'Hospitalet next week. Therefore we can not do the head-to-head rule. Thus we move onto goal difference which places Lleida in third position. I know it's hard to understand, but don't doubt on the reliability of the tables. I take care updating them. If you have any other doubts about the league table rules don't hesitate in asking me. Qampunen (talk) 13:32, 8 May 2011 (UTC)
We only do the league system between the tied teams when they have all played each other twice. However, Lleida still needs to play L'Hospitalet next week (L'Hospitalet have 59 points, just like the rest) therefore we can not apply the head-to-head rule yet, thus we go on to the next rule which is goal-diffence. Qampunen (talk) 13:44, 8 May 2011 (UTC)
Lleida is third right now, however things might change after this afternoon's matches. Another example similar to Group 3, is the tie in position between four teams with 43 points in 2010-11 La Liga. They are placed according to goal-difference because there is still a match left between two of the teams (Sporting-Racing). Qampunen (talk) 13:50, 8 May 2011 (UTC)
New coordinator
I have opened up a new discussion on WikiProject Multi-sport, about appointing a new coordinator. Please leave your thoughts there. Thank you. [1] Intoronto1125TalkContributions 03:39, 10 May 2011 (UTC)
- Cool, thanks for the link. I was a bit disappointed in the project's fall (especially due to my inactivity Jan/Feb) and I hope this gets it up and running again :D SellymeTalk 05:51, 10 May 2011 (UTC)

Re: 2011 Girabola
No biggie. These navboxes, as well as the categories, are sometimes a little difficult to find.
As for additional data going into the article, you might also take a look at the MoS for league season articles, just in case you have not already done so, of course. One note regarding the "Positions-by-round" section, though – this is not a standard section, as it might be very difficult to source; in general, it should only be included if the accompanying source is able to list league tables for every round/matchday. Cheers, Soccer-holicI hear voices in my head... 12:57, 20 May 2011 (UTC)
- Yes, I'm not sure if I'm going to go through with that, but at least it will remind me to check if there is a source available. SellymeTalk 13:07, 20 May 2011 (UTC)

Island Games
Hey, i just did not know what this draw meant, was too confusing for me. All other pages look good and i will add the Volleyball draw later tonight. No need to make extra pages for every e.g. athletics event if that was on your mind. Kante4 (talk) 14:00, 21 June 2011 (UTC)
- Maybe split the draw(s) in to two 16team brackets and then make a final or semifinal/final bracket? So it looks a bit clearer? Example are the tennis draws. Kante4 (talk) 14:12, 21 June 2011 (UTC)
- Use this: Template:4TeamBracket-Tennis5 or created the same for squash? Maybe when the Games starts a better draw comes out... Kante4 (talk) 14:20, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

Formula 1 records
The report section is just that: a report. It's a top-down overview of the major events in the race. Although it is important to mention the records that were set, comparisons to previous benchmarks are better-suited to individual race report pages. Otherwise, there is a risk that the report sub-section of the season page will become too long and too detailed, and will return to the bad old days where the "brief report" was actually longer than the rest of the article. Prisonermonkeys (talk) 14:07, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

The Big Move
I changed all the tennis yearly player article to season articles now, which satisfies all of wikipedia's rules, policies, and regulations. Go look at them.SaysWhoWhatWhenWhereWhyHow? (talk) 17:35, 16 July 2011 (UTC)
Hello Sellyme,
I am wondering if you want to help me on this article. If you do by the way just give me a shout on my talk page, and I will work you thru the process.
Thanks,
SaysWhoWhatWhenWhereWhyHow? (talk) 20:50, 16 July 2011 (UTC)
- I was thinking about having you make individual tournament wikitables, and put them in the corresponding months. Go here, you will have to go to 1988 in the drop down menu and select singles. The doubles we can wait for at the present moment because it will be basically wikitables anyways because back in 1988 not very much was even written about doubles even in the slams. So, just take your time, on getting this done. I like the way the WTA Tour has each tournament segregated into their own little wikitable, which is what I hope we can do on wikipedia. By the way, the ATP does this as well, so it is standard in tennis related publications. Thanks for helping me!SaysWhoWhatWhenWhereWhyHow? (talk) 16:10, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

- Oh wow. I'm honoured to be the first recipient of this barnstar. Sure I won't be the last though, I'm definitely not the only one making tennis related contributions! (Though cheers for reminding me to get off my ass and get back to fixing the score formatting) SellymeTalk 11:29, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
- Also, I hope you don't mind, but I fixed up the formatting of the barnstar on your userpage so it's a bit nicer-looking. SellymeTalk 11:59, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
- No prob... I do like it much better though with a constrained width. Fyunck(click) (talk) 17:57, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
- Do you mean so that the text goes to a new line after x characters? SellymeTalk 21:24, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
- The word wrapping doesn't look bad to me. What I don't personally like is the box stretching half way across the screen like the one above. That exact shorter width looks best at least on my 1920x1080 screen. Now if the sig starts on a completely new line that's fine but the box itself needs to be 19em wide for my own needs. Of course everyone can change the box shape to fit their own pages and likings... those are just mine. I just wanted to get that image I created out there on at least one page, so spread it to whoever you like. Fyunck(click) (talk) 22:06, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
- Ah, yes, but previously the width was on the image, which left it with tonnes of empty space. SellymeTalk 00:45, 2 August 2011 (UTC)

Sadly, I will be unable to work on the 1988 Steffi Graf tennis season article because this invaluable resource is shut down. I just wanted to inform you on this sad development.SaysWhoWhatWhenWhereWhyHow? (talk) 03:14, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
- Yeah, I read about it on the Google blog. Most of labs was shut down, which really hinders the possibility of getting this done. Fortunately there's the Wayback Archiver, but that may not work for some articles. SellymeTalk 03:38, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

I'm dropping you a note because you filled out the New Page Patrol survey, and indicated you'd be interested in being contacted about follow-up work. This is to notify you that we've finally released both the initial documentation about the project and also the engagement strategy, which sets out how we plan to work with the community on this. Please give both a read, and leave any comments or suggestions you have on the talkpage, on my talkpage, or in my inbox - okeyes

Getting Wikimedians to the Olympic Games
Hi. I am part of an effort to get Wikimedians access to the 2016 Summer Olympics as accredited reporters and photographers. Part of this effort includes covering the 2012 Summer Paralympics. Two Wikimedians have credentials to attend these games as reporters through Wikimedia Australia. As English Wikipedia does not allow original reporting, this is largely through Wikinews with a project page found at Wikinews:Paralympic Games. If you are interested in helping to get Wikimedians to the next Summer Olympics,I'd encourage you to assist with Wikinews efforts, and also to work on all language 2012 Summer Paralympic Wikipedia articles before, during and after the Games to demonstrate a track record of success. Thank you. --LauraHale (talk) 04:20, 17 August 2012 (UTC)

Huggle 3
Hey Sellyme! I am Petrb, one of core developers of Huggle, the antivandalism tool, which you are beta testing (according to https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Huggle/Members#Beta_testers). I am happy to announce that Huggle 3 is ready for some testing. You can read more about it at WP:Huggle/Huggle3_Beta. Please keep in mind that this is a development version and it is not ready for regular use. That means you must:
- Watch your contribs - when anything happens you didn't want, fix it and report a bug
- Frequently checkout source code and build latest version, we change it a lot
If you find any problem with a feature that is supposed to work perfectly, please let us know. Some features are not ready yet, it is listed in known problems on Huggle3 beta page, you don't need to report these - we know it! So, that's it. Have fun testing and please let us know about any problems, either using bugzilla @ http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/ or #huggle connect. Please respond to my talk page, I am not going to watch your talk page. Thank you Petrb (talk) 10:57, 14 November 2013 (UTC)
Flow Newsletter - November 14
Hi. This is a brief note to let you know about an update to the Main FAQ (the addition of a large table of Components of the discussion system), and also to specifically request your feedback on two items: our sandbox release plan, and a draft of the new contributors survey. We look forward to reading your input on these or other topics - Flow can only get better with your ideas! –Quiddity (WMF) (talk) 19:56, 14 November 2013 (UTC)
Huggle 3 beta is out - and we need more feedback!
Hey Sellyme, how are you? I am Petrb, one of huggle developers, and you are currently subscribed as a beta tester of huggle on meta (meta:Huggle/Members. You may not have noticed, but this week I released first beta precompiled installers for ubuntu and microsoft windows! Wikipedia:Huggle/Huggle3_Beta has all the links you need. So if you can, please download it, test it and report all bugs that is really what we need now. Don't forgot that as it's just a beta it's unstable and there are some known issues. Be carefull! Thank you for helping us with huggle Petrb (talk) 16:25, 29 November 2013 (UTC)
We need your help testing latest huggle
Hello,
I am sending you this message because you listed yourself on meta:Huggle/Members as a beta tester. We desperately need attention of testers, because since we resolved all release blockers, we are ready to release first official version of huggle 3! Before that happens, it would be nice if you could test it so that we can make sure there are no issues with it. You can download it packaged for your operating system (see Wikipedia:Huggle/Huggle3_Beta) or you can of course build it yourself, see https://github.com/huggle/huggle3-qt-lx for that. Don't forget to use always latest version, there is no auto-update message for beta versions!
Should you find any issue, please report it to wikimedia bugzilla, that is a central place for huggle bugs, where we look at them. That is i mportant, if you find a bug and won't report it, we can't fix it. Thank you for your work on this, if you have any questions, please send me a message on my talk page, I won't be looking for responses here. Thanks, Petrb (talk) 15:16, 10 April 2014 (UTC)

Invitation to Adelaide Wikipedia Users Group meetings
Hi, in case you're not already aware of it, a group of Adelaide Wikipedians has been meeting on a monthly basis since April, with the aim of improving the scope and quality of articles on South Australian topics. We meet at UniSA's City West campus, and our 23 July meeting will have a guest speaker from the National Trust of SA.
This coming Sunday, 6 July, we will be holding our first Edit-a-thon. This will be an opportunity for new editors to come and learn either basic or more advanced editing from very experienced wikipedians, so if you know anyone who would like to get some practice, please let them know - and beginners will be very welcome. Cheers, Bahudhara (talk) 06:34, 4 July 2014 (UTC)
New huggle 3.1 is going to be released soon
Hi Sellyme, we are to release a new major version of huggle, but we did receive almost no feedback from our beta testing team, which you are a part of (see https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Huggle/Members). It would be of a great help if you could download it (if you have windows, all you need to do is getting http://tools.wmflabs.org/huggle/files/huggle3.1.0beta.exe and putting it to a folder where you have installed huggle) and test it. You can always get a help with making it @ #huggle connect!
Major changes:
- Multisite support - you can now log in to unlimited number of wikis in 1 huggle session and get a huge queue of all edits made to these wikis. This is good for smaller projects which gets overlooked often.
- Ranged diffs - you can select multiple revisions and get a huge diff that display all changes done to them.
- Fixes of most of bug reports we had so far
In case you found a bug, please report it to bugzilla: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/buglist.cgi?product=Huggle&list_id=147663 thank you! Petrb (talk) 10:14, 30 July 2014 (UTC)
Tennis article discussion
Because you and others were instrumental in forming our current tennis guidelines on seasonal articles for special players, I though you might be interested in the re-visit being discussed at talk:projectTennis. Currently, because of input from that 2011 discussion, any singles player skilled enough to win a grand slam tournament is allowed continuous seasonal articles. No grand slam tournament win, no season article. A grand slam tournament win in 2012 allows seasonal articles in 2013 and 2014 whether or not more grand slam tournaments were won. I was against these articles, but even I have to admit it has worked reasonably well and there really haven't been all that many articles made. A recent deletion of the 2013 Maria Sharapova tennis season has brought this to the forefront once again and we at Tennis Project are trying to decide if we leave things as they are or narrow the parameters in several different ways. We could use more input (whether your views have changed or not). I gave the old discussion link so you can see your original thoughts, but all those who gave their view before are being invited to discuss. Thanks.

Copyright checks when performing AfC reviews
Hello Sellyme. This message is part of a mass mailing to people who appear active in reviewing articles for creation submissions. First of all, thank you for taking part in this important work! I'm sorry this message is a form letter – it really was the only way I could think of to covey the issue economically. Of course, this also means that I have not looked to see whether the matter is applicable to you in particular.
The issue is in rather large numbers of copyright violations ("copyvios") making their way through AfC reviews without being detected (even when easy to check, and even when hallmarks of copyvios in the text that should have invited a check, were glaring). A second issue is the correct method of dealing with them when discovered.
If you don't do so already, I'd like to ask for your to help with this problem by taking on the practice of performing a copyvio check as the first step in any AfC review. The most basic method is to simply copy a unique but small portion of text from the draft body and run it through a search engine in quotation marks. Trying this from two different paragraphs is recommended. (If you have any question about whether the text was copied from the draft, rather than the other way around (a "backwards copyvio"), the Wayback Machine is very useful for sussing that out.)
If you do find a copyright violation, please do not decline the draft on that basis. Copyright violations need to be dealt with immediately as they may harm those whose content is being used and expose Wikipedia to potential legal liability. If the draft is substantially a copyvio, and there's no non-infringing version to revert to, please mark the page for speedy deletion right away using {{db-g12|url=URL of source}}. If there is an assertion of permission, please replace the draft article's content with {{subst:copyvio|url=URL of source}}.
Some of the more obvious indicia of a copyvio are use of the first person ("we/our/us..."), phrases like "this site", or apparent artifacts of content written for somewhere else ("top", "go to top", "next page", "click here", use of smartquotes, etc.); inappropriate tone of voice, such as an overly informal tone or a very slanted marketing voice with weasel words; including intellectual property symbols (™,®); and blocks of text being added all at once in a finished form with no misspellings or other errors.
I hope this message finds you well and thanks again you for your efforts in this area. Best regards--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 02:20, 18 November 2014 (UTC).

Huggle message
Hey Sellyme! You are receiving this message because you are subscribed at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Huggle/Members#Beta_testers
I have recently launched a new downloads for beta testers that contains nightly builds of huggle, eg. versions that are built every day from our master branch and contains latest huggle. These builds are currently provided only for Windows and Ubuntu. You can find them here: http://huggle.wmflabs.org/builds/
Please keep in mind that these don't have any automatic updates and if you download and start using nightly build, you will need to update it yourself! So don't get yourself to running old version, it's possible to install both stable and nightly huggle, which is what I suggest.
Keep the bug reports coming to phabricator: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/task/create/?projects=Huggle Many thanks! Petrb (talk) 10:02, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:ChaserAnnual.JPG
Thanks for uploading File:ChaserAnnual.JPG. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.
If you are the copyright holder for 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-en@wikimedia.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 take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.
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-en@wikimedia.org.
If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File 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. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Kelly hi! 12:33, 11 September 2016 (UTC)

Miles Armstrong
I have created the requested article for Miles Armstrong, but it is currently a stub as I only used information from the ATP and ITF websites. If you can find any more information to help improve the article, it would be appreciated. Adamtt9 (talk) 13:28, 26 February 2017 (UTC)
- Unfortunately I can't find much, it seems like his perforance at Burnie was an unusual high on an otherwise very uninteresting career. I did dig up this article about the Asia-Pacific Tennis League that mentions his participation, but considering that apparently that entire competition doesn't seem meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines I'm not sure that it's worth even mentioning in the article. SellymeTalk 14:18, 26 February 2017 (UTC)
- It's fine. I will look for a reference or something that at least mentions his challenger win at Burnie. Adamtt9 (talk) 14:20, 26 February 2017 (UTC)
I see that you are going through and fixing the tiebreak scores while also making sure that draws are linking to the protennislive PDF instead of ATP. I went ahead and created the one missing doubles article that you noted in Bangkok, so I crossed it off on your list. I hope you don't mind. Adamtt9 (talk) 21:18, 27 February 2017 (UTC)
- Thanks! I was initially going through the 2009 schedule to add all of the missing doubles articles but when I realised how many of the existing articles had those PDF issues I decided that was a more pressing concern. Hopefully going to finish off all of the World Tour articles today and then I can resume tiebreak cleanup and article creation. SellymeTalk 04:00, 28 February 2017 (UTC)
ITF Circuit
Hey, you are doing good work updating results. I know that it is a bit of a chore. But just to let you know, please put in the diacritics for players, even the ones without an article. I know that the ITF doesn't use them, but we are still supposed to. Just search the player's name on Wikipedia and you should get plenty of results using diacritics, so just put them in the article. I have fixed the ones for now, but as you add players, just check to make sure everything is right. Other than that, it's pretty good. Thanks. Adamtt9 (talk) 12:31, 16 March 2017 (UTC)
- I'm checking for diacritics on names where they seem plausible (e.g., all Serbo-Croatian "style" names), so unless names like "Alex Bolt" have diacritics they mustn't be showing up in the sources I'm checking. Do you have any resources that you use for finding proper diacritics for players that don't have previous mentions in Wikipedia? SellymeTalk 12:38, 16 March 2017 (UTC)
- Not really since the majority of them are on it. You can always Google search news hits in the native language of the player as they are inclined to use them. And I essentially search any player who isn't from an English-speaking country. And there are some obvious cases, as many Spaniards/Hispanic players have diacritics (ex. González, Martínez, Hernández). Almost in all cases, those names have diacritics. Adamtt9 (talk) 12:52, 16 March 2017 (UTC)

Fair Use in Australia campaign update
I'm writing you this followup message, as you took the time to vote in support of a Wikipedia banner campaign for the introduction of Fair Use in Australia.
After much planning and coordination with the WMF, Australian Digital Alliance, and Electronic Frontiers Australia, as of Monday the banner-campaign is active on English Wikipedia to a portion of logged-out readers in Australia (technical details). The banners direct people to this page on Meta: FairCopyrightOz. That page, alongside lots of information, further directs people towards the campaign website faircopyright.org.au where Australians are invited to write to their local MP to express support of Fair Use. If you are interested in supporting this campaign, please, send a letter yourself using the template letter provided at that link.
Furthermore, and with the support of the ADA & EFA, we have received fantastic media coverage - with article "Fair Use: Wikipedia targets Australians in bid to change the law" appearing on page 2 of the Sydney Morning Herald and page 10 of the Melbourne Age on Monday's edition. It was for a time the 3rd most read article the Fairfax website, and Fair Use was "trending" on Twitter in Australia. We are running the account @FairCopyrightOz on twitter, and we are tracking other press-mentions on the talkpage on Meta.
Today, day 2, we published a detailed post about the campaign on the Wikimedia Blog, ran an "Ask Me Anything" Q&A session on the Australia page in Reddit, and [by happy coincidence of timing] the article History of fair use proposals in Australia appeared on the en.wp mainpage as a Did You Know. [The creation of that "history of..." article was a specific request arising from in the community consultation in which you voted].
And, most importantly, in a little more than a day nearly 800 letters to MPs have been sent encouraging them to support the Productivity Commission's recommendation to adopt Fair Use in Australia. I urge you - please add your own message.
Sincerely, Wittylama 17:02, 23 May 2017 (UTC)

Tennis section ready to be replaced
I waited a couple months and since the new tennis guideline section is ready to go live I thought I would ask a few of you if you see any glaring spelling or clarity mistakes. New Section, Old Section There was also talk about how to handle Future and Challenger Tiers but that can always be brought in as an easy addendum since it's not replacing anything we already have. The only thing I have a query about is how to handle W–L if someone creates a Challenger or Futures chart (or dual charts as often happens). Charts I've seen usually have no numbering or a running total of events rather than wins and losses. There should be no problem incorporating the same W–L for those charts. But what about charts that include both Futures and Challengers? Do we W–L them all together like they were the same event? Or do we do separate W–L's for them even though they are in the same chart? Again this can be brought up afterwards but it is a concern. I mainly wanted to make sure everything was crystal clear as to meaning in the replacement section. Thanks. Fyunck(click) (talk) 19:41, 23 June 2017 (UTC)
- I strongly believe that Challengers/Futures if included should be in a separate chart. Whether or not they should be in a separate chart each is up for debate, but fortunately that's not too relevant at the moment.
- I do note that in the Legend, Win-Loss records are separated with '/' instead of '–' in the Surfaces table, as well as some of the Men's rows. Is this intentional? It should definitely be consistent with the rest of the guidelines imo. SellymeTalk 21:24, 24 June 2017 (UTC)
- I hadn't changed any of the legend charts, but I agree and made them all the same. Thanks. Fyunck(click) (talk) 20:31, 3 July 2017 (UTC)
Ways to improve 2009 McDonald's Burnie International – Men's Doubles
Hi, I'm Boleyn. Sellyme, thanks for creating 2009 McDonald's Burnie International – Men's Doubles!
I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. There are no given sources - all articles must have references clearly given, and the WP:BURDEN is on the creator. If your 'external links' are actually references, please make that clear and preferably WP:INLINECITE them.
The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.

This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.

Google Code-In 2019 is coming - please mentor some documentation tasks!
Hello,
Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at the English Wikipedia.
I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org, so we can invite you in!
From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.
If you have any questions, please let us know at google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org.
Thank you!
