Adding photos
ComputerJA, have you recorded anywhere the lessons you've learned while uploading photos. I've been watching you do that for sometimes (from afar and in total admiration)! I've seen some of your uploads deleted and others remain and reattempts made. I would like to do something similar and have my students also do this (and for the same project: Safety of Journalists), but I think it would be better if we could learn the process from somebody who has been through the process. Do you have any notes? Crtew (talk) 17:29, 7 June 2013 (UTC)
- Hello, Crtew. I only know how to upload non-free images of people that are deceased or disappeared without having any copyright problems. With non-free images of living people, it's up to the Wikipedia Photo Gestapo to decide. Most of them are decided on a case-by-case basis; for example, I argued that the photo of Gustavo González Castro should stay because although he is a living person, finding him would require government/police intelligence. The image managed to stay, but I haven't been so lucky with others. I'm not sure what kind of photos you plan to upload with your students, but I what do often is try to mirror the format of other users. I usually copy and past the format ( [ like this, for example) from other people and then just change the information to the journalist I'm writing about. My suggestion is to always look for a free image first (either on Flickr or by e-mailing the organization where a journalist is from and asking for permission--although I've never gotten a response from the latter). Hope this helps. Let me know if you have other concerns. Best, ComputerJA (talk) 20:16, 7 June 2013 (UTC)
Orphaned non-free media (File:LosZetas-logo.gif)
Thanks for uploading File:LosZetas-logo.gif. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 05:11, 9 June 2013 (UTC)
GA nomination of Antonio Cárdenas Guillén
Torres
Hi, I'm having some problems tying text to the citations. For example, Chaires is not named in either citation 10 or 11. That seems to be in citation 13. When I look to citations 13 and 14 for allegation of drug cartel links. I don't see anything.
- I added ref 13 behind 10 and 11 per Chaires mention. Now, in Proceso's article, is says this: "La Procuraduría investiga a cinco integrantes de la familia Pecina Chaires por el delito de privación ilegal de la libertad, ya que alguno de sus miembros mantiene vínculos con el crimen organizado." (Translation: "The Attorney investigates five family members Pecina Chaires for the crime of illegal deprivation of liberty, and that one of its members has ties to organized crime.") Original and Google translate The other US source says that the kidnapping is believed to be cartel related.
- Sorry I missed that one – proves my spanish isn't that hot. :-( -- Ohc ¡digame!¿que pasa? 08:24, 11 June 2013 (UTC)
The sources all quote Cristina as saying "a couple men", yet the text says several. I just find it strange how a couple of guys can make off with a load of stuff, three hostages, and three cars.
- Good catch on that one. Spanish sources mention "group of armed men" or simply "armed men." Should we stick with "gunmen"? If there were only two guys, then it would be impossible for them to steal 3 vehicles
Facepalm . ABC7 source mentions the three vehicles...
I've also noticed that some of the reports are agency reports, and are very similar. I also found 5, 6 and 10 are identical reports, which can be consolidated into one ref. More anon. -- Ohc ¡digame!¿que pasa? 07:52, 11 June 2013 (UTC)
- We can do that. ComputerJA (talk) 08:17, 11 June 2013 (UTC)
- Having read the article and most of the sources, I would just mention some concerns I have about the notability and a possible AFD the article might face: The guy isn't notable, at best WP:BLP1E. It's like a black hole, and these things seem to happen down there almost on a daily basis. Armando's still an open investigation, and all the news seems to be about that; the news reports look pretty repetitious. There is a lot of speculation. -- Ohc ¡digame!¿que pasa? 08:33, 11 June 2013 (UTC)
- Yeah, I thought about that, too. I contacted Torres's wife Melissa through the Facebook group and asked her if she could contact the Marines so they can release more info on his career, awards, medals, and all of that. But she told me that the authorities asked her to hold back on that information for some while. ComputerJA (talk) 08:41, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

TemplateData is here
Hey ComputerJA
I'm sending you this because you've made quite a few edits to the template namespace in the past couple of months. If I've got this wrong, or if I haven't but you're not interested in my request, don't worry; this is the only notice I'm sending out on the subject :).
So, as you know (or should know - we sent out a centralnotice and several watchlist notices) we're planning to deploy the VisualEditor on Monday, 1 July, as the default editor. For those of us who prefer markup editing, fear not; we'll still be able to use the markup editor, which isn't going anywhere.
What's important here, though, is that the VisualEditor features an interactive template inspector; you click an icon on a template and it shows you the parameters, the contents of those fields, and human-readable parameter names, along with descriptions of what each parameter does. Personally, I find this pretty awesome, and from Monday it's going to be heavily used, since, as said, the VisualEditor will become the default.
The thing that generates the human-readable names and descriptions is a small JSON data structure, loaded through an extension called TemplateData. I'm reaching out to you in the hopes that you'd be willing and able to put some time into adding TemplateData to high-profile templates. It's pretty easy to understand (heck, if I can write it, anyone can) and you can find a guide here, along with a list of prominent templates, although I suspect we can all hazard a guess as to high-profile templates that would benefit from this. Hopefully you're willing to give it a try; the more TemplateData sections get added, the better the interface can be. If you run into any problems, drop a note on the Feedback page.

Disambiguation link notification for June 30
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Sonic the Hedgehog (1991 video game), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Akira Watanabe (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

A cheeseburger for you!
| Thank you very much for all the hard work on Mexico-related articles. I'm a PolySci student, so I can't stop complaining about how much we disregard Mexico. In appreciation for all that you have done for Mexico, I will try to make you more American and give you a cheeseburger. (Its late at night my time... I'm not nearly as funny at this time of day.) Mario Ramirez Trevino is now a GA, and I know that many more GAs, A-Classes and FAs are on their way from you. I hope to see your work on the front page soon. Thanks a million!

Eddie Fatu Umaga
sup man I was wondering if you can cite a source for me, the late Eddie Fatu is The Rock's cousin I noted it under his introduction where it says his two older brothers, Sam (better known as Tonga Kid and Tama) and Solofa Jr. (better known as Rikishi), are also professional wrestlers who have achieved success of their own. but was reversed by user named Brookie here is the article from CNN reporting about his death and family members The Rock is his cousin. thanks for the help. http://www.cnn.com/2009/US/12/04/umaga.eddie.fatu/index.html?_s=PM:US
- Done, I went back and updated the article with the information you supplied and the source. Citing sources is probably the most challenging aspect of Wikipedia for newcomers; I learned by using by sandbox and toying around with sources. Since I usually only use news articles, I stick with the format on the Cite template (on the far right when you click "Edit source" on any article you'll see a "Cite" button and then a "Templates" one). Anyways, let me know if you ever need help. Cheers, ComputerJA (☎ • ✎) 17:56, 4 July 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for the welcome
Hi, this is 72.177.123.145. My IP address changes from time to time. I once had an account but I gave it up. I have contributed, or tried to, for 10 years or so. The article I spent the most time on was Happy Trails, which was in sad shape until I rewrote it. I see from your user page that we may have some interests in common. I am listening a lot to Beto Quintanilla lately and I was thinking of adding a discography to his page and doing some rewriting of it. Perhaps you'll beat me to it. 72.177.123.145 (talk) 17:07, 11 July 2013 (UTC) Eric
- Of course I'm interested in Beto Quintanilla. I'm a fan of his music, too. Send me a message again when you decide to expand his page. I'll see if I can expand his Life and career section overall--just finished summer school so I should have more spare time. Thanks for your message.

Updating pages with Miguel Treviño Morales's arrest
Hi, JA!
Somehow, this morning, I would up on a lot of pages having to do with Mexican drug trafficking (and I started out on Germanic and Celtic tribes so it's way off my beat!) and I did some clean up, mainly involving language and grammar but also a little reorganization. There is so much content on Wikipedia on this topic so hopefully, I didn't mess up any of your work and just brushed it up a little.
I'm leaving this note though because Miguel Treviño Morales was arrested yesterday and he comes up A LOT in some of these entries. It seems like every person he worked for, with or against mentions his cartel leadership on their page. Sometimes, it was easy to note that he had been arrested but on other articles, it'll take some additional work since he is considered an active member and I don't want to just delete content that has him as a present-day leader. Since you know the field so well, I just thought I'd give you a head's up....I'm sure you know which articles will need updating.
Have a good day. 69.125.134.86 (talk) 13:46, 16 July 2013 (UTC)
- You're totally right on that. I'll try to go article by article and see if they need any updating. But thanks so far for your interest in the subject and the concerns you wrote on the articles' talk pages. As soon as I get Z40 done, I'll go directly to address them. I think you should consider creating an account—it's easier to keep track of the articles you like and there are more benefits while editing. Happy editing, ComputerJA (☎ • ✎) 18:21, 16 July 2013 (UTC)
Trevino
I have added a new comment at ITN. CNN is reporting that the arresting Mexican official refused to give Trevino's Zeta nickname or identify him as a Zeta while announcing the arrest. μηδείς (talk) 01:03, 17 July 2013 (UTC)
-
- If you think it merited, I request you ask on ITN that the blurb be changed to "Reported Zetas leader Miguel Treviño Morales is arrested on drug, kidnapping, torture and murder charges". The current blurb contradicts what even the Mexican federal prosecutor is willing to say. μηδείς (talk) 02:46, 17 July 2013 (UTC)
