Question from Stéphane Dalbera (22:13, 25 September 2025)
Hi, Could a confirmed editor please move this draft to mainspace?
• Draft: User:Stéphane Dalbera/sandbox • Requested title: Alain Chesnais (or: Alain Chesnais (computer scientist)) • Reason/summary: “Publishing the draft as a biography (BLP)” • Key sources (primary for factual verification + independent secondary; one self-published link for context):
- "Alain Chesnais — ACM Volunteer Profile". Association for Computing Machinery. Retrieved 26 September 2025. - "Member Profile: Alain Chesnais". ACM SIGGRAPH. Association for Computing Machinery. Retrieved 26 September 2025. - Dalbera, Stéphane. "Building Worlds in 3D: Bridging Minds and Computing". LinkedIn. Retrieved 26 September 2025. `
Potential COI: [state or “none”]. Thank you! Stéphane Dalbera (talk) 22:14, 25 September 2025 (UTC)
- @Stéphane Dalbera there are some issues that need to be fixed before I would be comfortable moving it to mainspace. For example it uses a French wikipedia article as a source, but we do not use Wikipedia as a source. I do believe the article subject is notable, but I would like to see higher quality sourcing beyond primary sourcing and interviews with the subject. ~ 🦝 Shushugah (he/him • talk) 11:52, 26 September 2025 (UTC)
- Hello,
- I don’t see any reference to a French Wikipedia article—there isn’t one for Alain Chesnais.
- He served as president of the ACM before none other than Vint Cerf, and he is likely the only person to have held that position without having a Wikipedia article.
- He was also president of ACM SIGGRAPH and is a major figure in the CGI field.
- He is one of the fathers of the landmark software Maya.
- ACM and ACM SIGGRAPH seemed to me to be high-quality primary sources, no?
- There’s very little content online; most of his interviews date from the time when he was leading the development of Maya and are in print media, not online.
- We’re running up against a limit of the very natural requirement for reliable sources when it comes to people who never sought the spotlight but have played a central role in the community and left a rich legacy.
- What can I do to substantiate this even more than with ACM and ACM SIGGRAPH? Stéphane Dalbera (talk) 21:47, 26 September 2025 (UTC)
- Last point: yes, I know Alain personally, and it was while writing the article I published on LinkedIn that I realized there was no Wikipedia article about him—which seems unfortunate for someone who served as president of ACM SIGGRAPH and then of the ACM.

Growth News #35

A quarterly update from the Growth team on our work to improve the new editor experience.
New releases
English Wikipedia gets "Add a Link" Structured Task
We released the "Add a Link" Structured Task to 100% of accounts at English Wikipedia on Tuesday, September 2nd (before then it was available to 20% of accounts).
Growth features for Wikidata
After examining if the Growth features and Mentorship could be adapted to Wikidata, we activated the Growth features on Beta Wikidata to allow for testing and discussion (T400937). Although some features, like Suggested Edits, are Wikipedia-specific, the Growth team designed most features to be more wiki-agnostic.
Work in progress
Revise Tone Structured Task
The Growth team is making progress on the technical architecture, onboarding design, and early user testing. We are targeting an A/B test before the end of this year, with constructive edits by newcomers as the primary success metric.
Add a link to more wikis
The machine learning team has been working on a new model that can suggest links to more languages, including Urdu, Chinese, and Japanese Wikipedias. We are starting to release the “Add a Link” feature to Wikipedias that weren’t supported by the previous model.
Add a link, which can be configured by the community locally, increases the chance that a new contributor will make their first edit and then continue to participate in Wikipedia.
Research
The Growth team is involved in several research initiatives to help guide our future work:
Progression System – We have published initial findings from interviews with 10 English and French Wikipedia newcomers. The research examined motivations, challenges, and feedback on a prototype system intended to help editors build confidence, develop skills, and contribute more constructively over time.
Mobile Web Editing Research – This project combines quantitative and qualitative data, community feedback, and user journey analysis to identify possible ways to enhance the mobile editing experience.
Newcomers Survey – This project surveys successful newcomers on English Wikipedia to understand their early editing experiences, tool use, and community interactions.
Community events
The Growth team participated in several community events to listen, share, and collaborate on improving newcomer experiences across Wikimedia projects.
Wikimania - Organizers as key partners to support newcomers' growth in our movement
This session invited organizers to share how they introduce newcomers to Growth features and the challenges they encounter. The discussion focused on common newcomer questions and opportunities to strengthen collaboration in supporting new editors.
Wikimania - Lightning Talk: Structured Tasks
This talk demonstrated how Structured Tasks help newcomers take their first successful steps on Wikipedia. It shared impact data, community configurations, and a demo of “Add a Link,” illustrating how these tasks make editing more accessible and sustainable, particularly for mobile contributors.
Wikimania - Building a Sustainable Future for Wikimedia Contributors
With active editor numbers declining, the Contributors Strategy aims to create a clearer, more engaging path for participation. This session, led by the WMF Contributors group with involvement from the Editing, Growth, Moderator Tools, and Connection (formerly Campaigns) teams, highlighted efforts to streamline contributor experiences, offer structured and mobile-friendly workflows, and foster meaningful engagement. Participants learned about ongoing initiatives and shared feedback to help shape a more inclusive and sustainable future for Wikimedia contributors.
CEE Meeting - Retaining beginners and improving content moderation: an inclusive and sustainable future for Wikipedia contributors
Many communities face a decline in volunteer engagement. Newcomers often leave soon after joining, while experienced editors struggle to manage increasingly complex workflows and overwhelming backlogs. We presented the Contributors Strategy and the different features and workflows that can help communities to address these challenges. We listened to the specific needs of the CEE communities to help guide the Contributors teams' work.

Question from Caherniv (16:23, 21 October 2025)
Hello, I represent the organization previously known as **National Coalition Against Gambling**. Our organization officially changed its name to **Stop Predatory Gambling** in 2008
I am not editing directly due to a conflict of interest. Could a neutral editor please update: 1. The article title and all references to our old name. 2. The introductory section to reflect the current name and mission. 3. The history section to include verifiable, neutral information about our work from 2008 onward. I have provided reliable sources below to verify these updates: https://www.stoppredatorygambling.org/our-history/ https://www.philanthropy.com/article/can-a-scrappy-one-person-nonprofit-transform-in-time "'Addictive, Exploitive, Manipulative': Les Bernal Breaks Down Predatory Gambling Ahead of Super Bowl".

I see the article is moved now, but article text does not describe the time changes.

Question from Ddjjk (15:34, 7 November 2025)
What is best: Visual editor or the code based editor --Ddjjk (talk) 15:34, 7 November 2025 (UTC)
- @Ddjjk Welcome to Wikipedia! It is up to your preferences and whatever technical limitations there are. I personally use both and switch between them frequently. I try to use Visual editor by default, unless there is limited support, like editing sources inside an Infobox. Wikimedia Foundation is making efforts to make both interchangeable and smoother experience. I have also included some helpful tutorials on your user talk page User talk:Ddjjk ~ 🦝 Shushugah (he/him • talk) 06:06, 20 November 2025 (UTC)

how i do create a logos --Muhammad Talal 00 (talk) 16:48, 9 November 2025 (UTC)
- @Muhammad Talal 00 Welcome to Wikipedia and apologies for my late reply. A logo for what exactly? Generally images on English Wikipedia are created for purpose of visualising an article of encyclopedic relevance like a major football team or an animal species. ~ 🦝 Shushugah (he/him • talk) 06:09, 20 November 2025 (UTC)

- @TomoMarioFromScratch Welcome to Wikipedia. Apologies for my very delayed reply. You can learn more about video game specific improvements at Wikipedia:WikiProject Video games and should keep in mind, that Wikipedia requires reliable/secondary source.
