@Pharos: Ziski Putz suggested I ask you about asking a WALRUS (or SWAN?) meeting about how to create and maintain organizational directories based in Wikidata? I have two applications for this:

1. PeaceWorks Kansas City has a "Community Organization Directory of Peace, justice, environment, and human rights groups in the Kansas City Metro", which has not been maintained since 2018 but is still attracting a substantial audience.
2. People with Friends of Community Media and the Community of Reason Kansas City want to create a directory of local news outlets.

I think I could crowdsource the creation and maintenance of directories like this if I could identify (or create) the Wikidata properties needed to select Wikidata items based on the type and geographic region.

If I understood how to do this, I could create prototype entries and a SPARQL query to create prototypes of the desired directories. Then I could organize Edit-a-thons (or one-on-one sessions) to crowdsource creation and maintenance of the directories. If I can do this for these two applications, I could then post a tutorial on how to do it to Wikiversity, make a presentation on it at a future Wikimania, etc.

Suggestions? Thanks, DavidMCEddy (talk) 05:57, 26 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20230226055700","author":"DavidMCEddy","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-DavidMCEddy-20230226055700-Directories_using_Wikidata","replies":[]}}-->

Hi Pharos, I'm currently in the process of adding several municipalities to Wikipedia's list of cities on the Arabian Peninsula by population, and I'm incorporating regions of southern Iraq into that definition (Jordan's southern regions don't have any cities that I'd consider large enough to add). Many years ago, you created this image, in which you gave a rough definition of the geographical northern boundary of the peninsula; your estimate is the basis of the Arabian article's current infobox image. By that definition, it's difficult to figure out exactly which cities would qualify. Although I feel confident in adding Basra, and I doubt I'd provoke much disagreement by also including Nasiriyah, I'm far less sure about Najaf, Kufa, or Karbala. Assuming you remember, I wanted to ask how you determined what you would regard as the northern terminus of Arabia, and I'd also like to know if you'd consider those three aforementioned cities to be within the peninsula. Also, do you think the Arabian Peninsula's northernmost limits are a topic worthy of revisiting in 2023?

@Pharos: Hey! I hope I don't bother you. The thing is: I don't know if you're aware of this, but the article Cooling center, which you created back in 2006, was proposed for the meta:Translation of the week project last year. If you voted for it, it would actually be next week's Translation of the week article, which means it would be translated into several languages apart from the ones it's available in as of now (English, Arabic, and Japanese). The link is this one. It would be really helpful, but feel free to decline the offer and ignore this message if you will.

So now I'm wondering - Did something go amiss here? - jc37 18:29, 14 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20230714182900","author":"Jc37","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Jc37-20230714182900-Username","replies":["c-Pharos-20230715184400-Jc37-20230714182900"]}}-->

This was from an edit-a-thon with young people, and their edit was a sincere if perhaps naive one. I can't say I was ever aware of the guideline against having "unnecessarily long" usernames before, so probably that's something I should have flagged at the time.

	Women in Red 8th Anniversary
	In July 2015 around 15.5% of the English Wikipedia's biographies were about women. As of July 2023, 19.61% of the English Wikipedia's biographies are about women. That's a lot of biographies created in the effort to close the gender gap. Happy 8th Anniversary! Join us for some virtual cake and add comments or memories and please keep on editing to close the gap!

		WCNA 2023 Barncompass
		Thank you for all your planning work behind the scenes, from hosting the Zoom calls, setting up Etherpads, posting geonotices, contacting culture crawl institution partners, giving advice on how event should be run to being a friendly space committee member. All of these efforts ensured that the conference went as smoothly as it could be. I am awarding this barncompass to you. (Barncompass originated in Wikivoyage as a response to Wikipedia's barnstar. Since everyone travelled long distance for the conference and would have no doubt pulled out a map app at some point, awarding a barncompass is probably as fitting as a barnstar.)

The article When two tigers fight has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Currently a dictionary definition without sufficient context to indicate possible future expansion.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

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

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

@Pharos, per User:Wil540_art's suggestion, I am pinging you to let you know that I am one of the hopeful attendees that signed up for Wikipedia day in NYC this weekend before the link to Eventbrite was put on the project page. When I discovered we were required to sign up through Eventbrite, I was waitlisted. Hopefully there is some wiggle room and I can attend in person. I'm also giving one of the Lightning Talks.

Howdy Pharos, just wanted to let you know that due to some venue tech limitations, we've added new requirements for slides. For convenience, they are: IF you have slides, please either upload them as PDFs to Wikimedia Commons and post a link here, bring them in on USB drives as PDFs, or, if you're using Google Slides or similar software, post a link to them here. Fortunately, the deadline is when you go on stage for your talk. Doing so will avoid tech surprises on the day of. Due to venue tech limitations, we cannot guarantee being able to show your visual aids otherwise.

The largest Barnstar I have ever seen is in Mountainville, a little ways north of Woodbine Commons. If you're going north on the interstate, it will be on your left. If you see the Ancient Order of Hibernians, you passed it.

Hi! We're conducting a series of participatory workshops with Wikipedia editors, administrators, researchers, and Wikimedia employees to discuss, and hopefully improve, Wikipedia's structures for online research (see meta research page). In an effort to get the right people in the room to discuss these topics, I'm reaching out here to see if you are interested in participating as an active administrator. We'd work with you to ensure this workshop can fit into your schedule, but are targeting end of April/early May. I'm happy to discuss any of these topics further here or on our talk page.

Hi, @Pharos! I hope all is well. A couple of work colleagues and I are gearing up to do a few events for editing English Wikipedia articles related to protest and Columbia University. Are you at all free to provide some pointers for hurdles we might face, and if we should be concerned at all about ArbCon? It doesn't seem like what we'd be working on would be too volatile, but attendees may also have questions about edits related to larger military conflicts/protected articles.

I lost my Extended-confirmed right so I can't give those arguments in the RfC, but here they are:

• Walter Laqueur – A History of Zionism:

"In the deliberations of the Zionist executive various aspects of the Arab question were discussed from time to time. Ruppin, in his report to the eleventh Zionist congress, noted that the Zionists had to make up for a great deal they had neglected, and to correct the errors they had ommitted. ‘It is of course quite useless to content ourselves with merely assuring the Arabs that we are coming into the country as their friends. We must drove this by our deeds.’"

Page 252

• Benny Morris – Righteous Victims: A History of the Zionist-Arab Conflict, 1881-2001 (English Edition)

Date: 2011

"Initially, said Ruppin, the Zionists had simply been unaware of the Arab presence and hostility. But this hostility was now a fact. And the Arabs, not the Turks, would remain the Zionists’ neighbors. The settlers, therefore, must try to reach a modus vivendi with them. Sensitivity must be shown in land purchases, and the leadership must establish friendly contacts with the Arab political elite to persuade them that Zionism would bring them benefit, not harm.

Some Jewish intellectuals, such as Ahad Ha’Am, genuinely tried to promote Zionist-Arab amity. The majority, like Ruppin, more pragmatically sought an accommodation that would last long enough to enable their enterprise to take root irreversibly."

Page 75

• Ian Black : Enemies and Neighbours: Arabs and Jews in Palestine and Israel, 1917-2017 (English Edition)

Date: 2017 / Edition: Penguin

"[Weizmann and Emir Faisal] met again in London before signing their agreement in January 1919, ahead of the Paris peace conference. On paper it was a remarkable achievement. Article 4 stipulated:

All necessary measures shall be taken to encourage and stimulate immigration of Jews into Palestine on a large scale, and as quickly as possible to settle Jewish immigrants upon the land through closer settlement and intensive cultivation of the soil. In taking such measures the Arab peasant and tenant farmers shall be protected in their rights and shall be assisted in forwarding their economic development."

Page 39

• Shlomo Avineri: The Making of Modern Zionism: The Intellectual Origins of the Jewish State (English Edition)

Date: 2017 / Edition: basic Books

"In Altneuland Herzl also discusses the future relations between Jews and Arabs in the New Society. Herzl is extremely aware that the country is already populated, albeit sparsely, by Arabs, and his solution, which may look today, in retrospect, as slightly naive and simplistic, is nonetheless motivated by the universalistic, humanistic ethos of the whole novel. All Arab inhabitants who wish to join the New Society as equal members and citizens are free to do so."

Page 103

"It is true that Jabotinsky maintains, with all his pathos, that the Arabs living in the future Jewish state would enjoy equal civil rights as individuals. But when it comes to Jabotinsky’s general attitude to the Arabs as a cultural and political force, he is far less generous."

Happy New Year!

Hello Pharos: Did you know ... that back in 1885, Wikipedia editors wrote Good Articles with axes, hammers and chisels? Thank you for your contributions to this encyclopedia using 21st century technology. I hope you don't get any unnecessary blisters.
