==Union City High School citation formatting==
At some point I began using "Retrieved" because that's what citation templates use, and I wanted my "manually" written citations to match the wording used by the templates. I remembered that some time ago, when we disagreed on this point (I don't recall the exact conversation or date of it, nor do I have a link handy, so correct me if I'm wrong) that you stated that an editor should not change the formatting unless he/she is the primary editor of the article. I do not recall if you cited a specific guideline or MOS page for this. Since I am the primary editor of this article, I assumed this would be in keeping with that protocol you mentioned. ] (]) 19:38, 31 March 2015 (UTC)

*{{flagicon|USA}} ], a WikiCup newcomer, led the field with ten good articles on submarines for a total of 357 points.
== Use of sic hide=y tag ==
*] {{u|Adam Cuerden}}, a WikiCup veteran, came next with 274 points, mostly from eight featured pictures, restorations of artwork.
*{{flagicon|Denmark}} ], a wrestling enthusiast, was in third place with 263 points, garnered from a featured list, five good articles, two DYKs and four GARs.
*{{flagicon|USA}} ] came next at 243, with a featured article and a good article, both on ancient helmets.
*] ] was in joint fifth place with 224 points, mostly garnered from bringing the ] to featured article status.
*{{flagicon|Ohio}} ] was also on 224, with an amazing number of good article reviews (56 actually).


These contestants, like all the others, now have to start scoring points again from scratch. Between them, contestants completed reviews on 143 good articles, one hundred more than the number of good articles they claimed for, thus making a substantial dent in the review backlog. Well done all!
I saw that you removed a "sic hide=y" tag that I added to the article ], with the explanation, "there is no need to tag it in any way". I thought I should explain what the purpose of the tagging is. It is to prevent someone from accidentally "improving" a quotation. In this case, the tagged phrase is "comprised of" in a quotation. Many people believe "comprised of" is not the best wording in a Misplaced Pages article and search for articles that contain the phrase and edit it. I do that a lot. We obviously try to leave quotations alone, but it is easy to make a mistake. The sic template exists to prevent that. It prevents an article from even showing up in a search for the tagged phrase, which saves copy editors time as well. The hide=y argument means this does not affect what the reader sees at all; it's just for editors. ] (]) 03:05, 11 April 2015 (UTC)
*There is nothing wrong with "comprised of", and even less reason to correct it inside a quotation. As there appears to be only one editor making these "corrections" and trying to "improve" the article, the best way to avoid this problem is to simply leave such articles alone, which saves time for all editors involved. ] (]) 04:43, 12 April 2015 (UTC)
::Regardless of whether there is anything wrong with "comprised of", there are many people changing it, and many more supporting my own changing of it, so I am certainly not going to stop. Given that, it's hard to understand why you would actively remove a sic template from an article, as opposed to leaving the article alone; I suppose it's more about making a point about whether people should be changing "comprised of" than about improving the article? I don't believe that is a legitimate use of a Misplaced Pages edit, but I just wanted to make sure you understood the edit and it sounds like you do. ] (]) 07:11, 12 April 2015 (UTC)
:::{{u|Giraffedata}}, irregardless of your opinion, there is absolutely nothing that is wrong with "comprised of" in the context of its use within a direct quotation. It simply ain't wrong, no matter what you think. I'm sure that there are other editors who feel the obsessive need to exceedingly go about "correcting" examples of split infinitives or those who believe that they must wipe out every example of situations where prepositions are used to end quotations with. Copyediting is fine, but improperly marking quotations with a sic tag is wrong. You are the only Misplaced Pages editor making these needless edits and we don't need to have misused sic tags applied simply to prevent yourself from misediting the same article a second time; these edits to add the sic tag are not a legitimate Misplaced Pages edit as I see it. It's time for the silent majority to rise up as the Comprised Of League of Defense to protect all articles from such pointless editing practices.

Hi Alansohn. In case you did not receive my response on my Talk page, I'll just reinsert the message here on your talk page.

Any questions on the scoring, rules or anything else should be directed to one of the judges, or posted to the ].

For the 2025 WikiCup, we've implemented ] to the scoring system.

If you're busy and can't sign up in January, don't worry: Signups are now open throughout the year. To make things fairer for latecomers, the lowest-scoring contestants will no longer be eliminated at the end of each round.

The first round will end on 26 February. The judges for the WikiCup this year are: {{User4|Cwmhiraeth}}, {{User4|Epicgenius}}, {{User4|Frostly}}, {{User4|Guerillero}} and {{User4|Lee Vilenski}}.

I believe that the section order in these town articles should be re-standardized - although you may be involved in local government, most readers are not likely to be concerned at all with local government and politics on a day-to-day basis. On the other hand, the average reader is far more likely to be concerned with the issues of education and transportation. Best, ] (]) 07:04, 18 April 2015 (UTC)
== Nomination of ] for deletion ==
*{{u|Castncoot}}, we probably would benefit from re-standardizing the order of sections in municipal articles. Given that there is a standard to be re-standardized, we should probably leave that standard unchanged until we have consensus on a new standard. While it does not establish a policy in any way shape or form, ] does provide some optional suggestions that place the sections in order by Government, Education and Transportation. Pending any effort to re-standardize, you can self-revert or I will be happy to undo the changes. ] (]) 01:51, 19 April 2015 (UTC)
<div class="afd-notice">
*{{u|Alansohn}}, if the standard was designed by previous consensus, then by all means revert to this standard pending a new consensus. On the other hand, if the standard was essentially self-designed by you, then I think we should move the ball forward right away and move Government (or at least Politics, if you're willing to tease that out of Government) farther down the totem pole compared to more salient issues including Education and Transportation. I surmise that the average reader wouldn't want Politics of all topics to be placed as high up as it is in many of the New Jersey town articles and may in fact find this to be an embarrassing shortcoming for these articles. I think you've otherwise done a fabulous job on these articles, I must note - I simply believe that this one issue unfortunately impedes greatly their potential for being even more superior. Best, ] (])
<div class="floatleft" style="margin-bottom:0;">]</div>A discussion is taking place as to whether the article ] is suitable for inclusion in Misplaced Pages according to ] or whether it should be ].
**{{u|Castncoot}}, I understand your efforts to consider reordering sections in these articles. I'm sure that I had something to do with the establishment of the order in the article for Allendale and elsewhere in the state, but this order has been based on guidance elsewhere. Whether you take a look at the suggestions in ] or at featured articles such as ], the order of Government, followed by Education, followed by Transportation is followed. I'm sure that there are better ways to do this, but the best way to do this is by reaching consensus and leaving the article in the pre-existing order until that new consensus is reached. Finding featured articles and guidelines that match your preferred order would add weight to your argument for a change in consensus. ] (]) 03:02, 19 April 2015 (UTC)
: We are, in part, limited to those areas where we have data/information. The abundance of accessible information regarding local government organization tends to weigh this area heavily. <font face="Papyrus" size="4" color="#800080">]</font> <sup><font face="Times New Roman" color="#006400">] ]</font></sup> 02:25, 19 April 2015 (UTC)
:This is an interesting discussion. {{u|Alansohn}}, I had also looked at ] myself, and to be honest, all three (Government, Education, and Transportation) are downgraded according to this guideline (just a guideline, and one with which I have several disagreements and which is geared toward large cities, in any case). The guideline also suggests mentioning something about local politics within government, but again, specifically for larger cities. Therefore, ] appears to be tremendously unhelpful here, for smallish New Jersey towns. I think we need to use simple common sense and good judgement here. The average reader looking up Allendale, New Jersey is more likely to be interested in its demographics, educational system(s), and public and/or road and highway access before he or she contemplates the name of the current mayor or councilmembers. ] (]) 03:35, 19 April 2015 (UTC)
::I agree that ] is highly flawed, but it is intended to be a guide to the organization of articles about places of all sizes. I'm sure that you have your perceptions as to what readers want to know about in what order, as do I. The best way to resolve this is through consensus, using featured articles and relevant guidelines as a model. ] (]) 03:40, 19 April 2015 (UTC)
::::Are there many Featured Articles on small towns? If so, I agree they could be a relevant guideline for consensus, and I also agree we should strive to reach a consensus. Otherwise, an alternative might be to contemplate what one might look for in the website city-data.com. Also, the fact is that there is readily available information about the names of school board members of these towns' school districts - the average reader is likely to be just as disinterested in these names as well. Education, Transportation, and Government thus speak for themselves, but the ''politics'' associated with Education or Government (or the Transportation department, for that matter) are far less important, although certainly worth mentioning, when dealing with these smallish towns, from this perspective. ] (]) 04:00, 19 April 2015 (UTC)
:::::I encourage you to find examples of articles that support your case and make your case to change the current consensus at ] used across the nation. ] (]) 04:10, 19 April 2015 (UTC)
:::::::No problem. See ]. In Michigan, that is. Also, when or where was consensus reached to apply the ] guideline to New Jersey's town articles? And was that in fact, followed, when it directed politics to be geared toward larger cities, not smallish towns in New Jersey? Are school board members' names then listed in New Jersey town articles' Government sections? Questions to contemplate. ] (]) 04:53, 19 April 2015 (UTC)
::::::::So we should base consensus in New Jersey on an article for somewhere in Michigan that is unincorporated so it has no government? When was that consensus made? Please raise the issue at ] and make your best case for why this should be the model. I wish you the best of luck. ] (]) 04:57, 19 April 2015 (UTC)
:::::::::::Actually, please look up ] in Michigan, as you were the one who suggested looking at articles across the US. At the time of this writing, there isn't even a Government section, even though there is a government, as stated in the infobox. On the other hand, the Education section directly follows Demographics. I've also noticed that no other state's municipalities' Government section carries as much material as in New Jersey - but this goes against ], which again, you seem to be relying on, albeit partially and selectively. I also don't believe I have any burden here, because I don't believe an applicable consensus was ever reached for New Jersey towns, which mostly have < 100K in population - while the spirit and intent of the very roughly and poorly designed ] is clearly aimed at big cities. ] (]) 11:32, 19 April 2015 (UTC)
::::::::::::::::Being that no applicable consensus has ever been reached then, I would simply point out that this is indeed a golden opportunity to quickly build for the first time a consensus for a laudable template for New Jersey town articles and to call it ''WP:NJCITIES''. Perhaps it could be ordered as such:
* Lede
* History
* Geography
* Demographics
* Education
* Transportation
* Economy
* Government
* Public services
* Politics
* Culture
* Notable residents
* See also
* References
* External links<br>
As you notice, Government is getting its fair play in this list, using the perspective of criteria as would be ranked in terms of mundane, day-to-day concerns of inhabitants of New Jersey suburban towns, who incorporate vastly different concerns from those in large cities. The average citizen has to travel every day, for example, many to New York City or Philadelphia, and a large percentage if not a majority in these smallish suburban towns have school-aged children; on the other hand, the average citizen is not showing up in council chambers each day, nor do government decisions in small towns match the attention received by every word uttered or every move ordered by the mayor of a big city, nor is there generally a plurality of single people in these towns for whom public education is not as prominent an issue. If one can make the reasonable assumption that readers of New Jersey town articles want to get an authentic "flavor" of a given town itself, then IMHO, this list is sensible.
Best, ] (]) 12:06, 19 April 2015 (UTC)
*I guess we have three choices here. We can adopt ] as a standard; We can use the de facto consensus standard used in articles for New Jersey that has been established over the past dozen years; or we can follow your proposed standard (for which I cannot understand separating Government and Politics into two discrete sections). While USCITIES is not policy, it does provide a model of section orders used across the nation and in featured articles. Sure ] isn't ]. But neither is ], ] or ], yet I'm confident that these are full-fledged cities. There are ] and ] at the smallest end of New Jersey municipalities, but where would we draw the line in the ] between large cities and those subject to your proposed NJCITIES? Where do ] and ] cities with 40,000-odd residents fit in, and what about ] (a borough with about 5,000 residents) or ] (a city with 500 or so people). As to content of sections, we can search the nation for the lowest quality articles and gut New Jersey articles to match the lowest standard or we could work to encourage editors in Michigan and elsewhere to be far more thorough and complete following the standard we've set here. Think it through, modify your structure as needed, and make your best case at ]. I am rather leery of the proposal, But I am more than happy to abide by whatever formal consensus is established through this process. ] (]) 13:49, 19 April 2015 (UTC)
:::::Glad to see this forum progressing in a positive discussion and rapidly so, ] (]). I think reasonable people can work pretty quickly. First, let me say that the Michigan article simply represented an exaggerated counterexample; obviously I don't believe that any town with a government should or can be devoid of a Government section, and my proposed list order above includes Government squarely in the middle. Likewise, I believe ] is awful, you have acknowledged that is flawed yourself, and I suspect that it's also caused many town article editors to shun it across the country. Choices would be to include all municipalities in New Jersey which come with the title "City" alone (there must be a mere ten or fifteen of them, perhaps, compared to over 500 townships and boroughs?-you would know better than I) under ] (which I don't favor), or to place ALL towns AND cities under the new WP:NJCITIES template. You yourself acknowledged at the outset of this discussion that the de facto status quo is also not acceptable, so it would be frankly hypocritical to maintain an unacceptable product. Finally, I have deliberately proposed making Politics a separate section because I believe that we as editors must have insight and responsibility when informing the reader to separate essential governmental services, such as the structure of a town's government and its police and fire protection, from comparatively non-essential information, including the names and political affiliations of current councilmembers. I don't mind transporting this same discussion to ], will do so per your suggestion. Best, ] (]) 17:05, 19 April 2015 (UTC)

When the non-interactee who is involved in malicious stalking on an active and ongoing basis runs off to ANI about a clearly inadvertent overlap, it's worth calling a spade a spade, or (on Misplaced Pages) a ] a ].

***Believe you me, I've tried taking the high road and it's utterly failed. When he started editing, I left more than a dozen messages explaining why he needed to add sources to his edits and that seems to have pissed him off to no end. He persists in leaving behind little land mines, editing articles purposelessly that he's never edited before on a random basis, solely to create potential opportunities to violate the interaction ban. I've tolerated this bullshit for months, going way out of my way to avoid conflict and not editing the articles he's created without intervening edits, while he's been deliberately stalking me and running ahead of my edits to maliciously create it. If some jerk was constantly following you around, persistently editing the same articles you edited, deliberately manufacturing conflicts and trying to craft a justification for a block, riding your ass day after day after day, you'd do exactly what I've done; any rational person would. If you have any other ideas to get this guy off my back, I'm more than happy to try anything, but the "high road" has failed. Thanks for the suggestion. ] (]) 12:43, 20 April 2015 (UTC)

And so ends the first round of the competition. Everyone with a positive score moves on to Round 2. With 56 contestants qualifying, each group in Round 2 contains seven contestants, with the two leaders from each group due to qualify for Round 3 as well as the top sixteen remaining contestants.

Our top scorers in Round 1 were:

  • United States L293D, a WikiCup newcomer, led the field with ten good articles on submarines for a total of 357 points.
  • Adam Cuerden, a WikiCup veteran, came next with 274 points, mostly from eight featured pictures, restorations of artwork.
  • Denmark MPJ-DK, a wrestling enthusiast, was in third place with 263 points, garnered from a featured list, five good articles, two DYKs and four GARs.
  • United States Usernameunique came next at 243, with a featured article and a good article, both on ancient helmets.
  • Squeamish Ossifrage was in joint fifth place with 224 points, mostly garnered from bringing the 1937 Fox vault fire to featured article status.
  • Ohio Ed! was also on 224, with an amazing number of good article reviews (56 actually).

These contestants, like all the others, now have to start scoring points again from scratch. Between them, contestants completed reviews on 143 good articles, one hundred more than the number of good articles they claimed for, thus making a substantial dent in the review backlog. Well done all!

Remember that any content promoted after the end of Round 1 but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Misplaced Pages:WikiCup/Reviews.

If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to keep down the review backlogs!

In response to your opinion on Freehold Raceway Mall "puffery"

Hi Alansohn. In case you did not receive my response on my Talk page, I'll just reinsert the message here on your talk page. If you agree that listing a few stores on a mall article would not classify as 'puffery', then why exactly did do you remove the list of stores then? If you agree that simply having a list of a few stores isn't 'puffery', then I'm glad we both have a mutual understanding. I'd imagine you would consult with me if you have any issues. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Freeholdman12 (talkcontribs) 5 June 2023 (UTC)

The fourth round of the competition has finished, with anyone scoring less than 673 points being eliminated. It was a high scoring round with all but one of the contestants who progressed to the final having achieved an FA during the round. The highest scorers were

  • New York (state) Epicgenius, with 2173 points topping the scores, gained mainly from a featured article, 38 good articles and 9 DYKs. He was followed by
  • Sammi Brie, with 1575 points, gained mainly from a featured article, 28 good articles and 50 good article reviews. Close behind was
  • Thebiguglyalien, with 1535 points mainly gained from a featured article, 15 good articles, 26 good article reviews and lots of bonus points.

Between them during round 4, contestants achieved 12 featured articles, 3 featured lists, 3 featured pictures, 126 good articles, 46 DYK entries, 14 ITN entries, 67 featured article candidate reviews and 147 good article reviews. Congratulations to our eight finalists and all who participated! It was a generally high-scoring and productive round and I think we can expect a highly competitive finish to the competition.

Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 4 but before the start of round 5 can be claimed in round 5. Remember too that you must claim your points within 10 days of "earning" them and within 24 hours of the end of the final. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Misplaced Pages:WikiCup/Reviews. It would be helpful if this list could be cleared of any items no longer relevant. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to keep down the review backlogs!

Welcome to the 2025 WikiCup!

Happy New Year and Happy New WikiCup! The 2025 competition has just begun and all article creators, expanders, improvers and reviewers are welcome to take part. Even if you are a novice editor, we hope the WikiCup will give you a chance to improve your editing skills as you go. If you have already signed up, your submissions page can be found here. If you have not yet signed up, you can add your name here and the judges will set up your submissions page ready for you to take part. Any questions on the scoring, rules or anything else should be directed to one of the judges, or posted to the WikiCup talk page.

For the 2025 WikiCup, we've implemented several changes to the scoring system. The highest-ranking contestants will now receive tournament points at the end of each round, and final rankings are decided by the number of tournament points each contestant has. If you're busy and can't sign up in January, don't worry: Signups are now open throughout the year. To make things fairer for latecomers, the lowest-scoring contestants will no longer be eliminated at the end of each round.

The first round will end on 26 February. The judges for the WikiCup this year are: Cwmhiraeth (talk · contribs · email), Epicgenius (talk · contribs · email), Frostly (talk · contribs · email), Guerillero (talk · contribs · email) and Lee Vilenski (talk · contribs · email). Good luck! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove your name from Misplaced Pages:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

John Hart in Hopewell

While editing John Hart, I noticed that he was listed as a notable person of Hopewell, New Jersey, but was not in Category:People from Hopewell, New Jersey. He lived on his farm on Hart Avenue in Hopewell from 1742 to 1779 and has a memorial at the Old School Baptist Church and Cemetery of Hopewell. Shouldn't he be in the category? Thanks, Zeete (talk) 11:16, 4 January 2025 (UTC)

  • Zeete, Hart's article places him in Hopewell Township. He died in 1779, and Hopewell Borough was not formed until 1891. I had added Hart as a notable in Hopewell, New Jersey, in this edit that was made 17 years ago. An archived copy of that source quoted there says "John Hart lived in Hopewell Township, in what is now the town of Hopewell, which was then known locally as Baptist Meeting House, for the church there."I don't see that this source means that he lived in Hopewell Borough and I hadn't seen anything in his article to support a connection to Hopewell Borough, so that's why I removed the category.I greatly respect your work on the historical aspects of the state and I may be missing something, but I don't see it.

How to send you information?

I was looking at the wiki page for Franklin Township Warren County. I have a famous person, Buzzie Reutimann, who stayed in our farm when racing the Northeast. He was one of the top Modified drivers in the northeast. He son David who also lived here during racing season went on to a brief stint in the NASCAR circuit. Buzzie is still racing (he’s 82!) in Florida. You can find them on wiki 2601:89:C501:9620:85E6:BA8:CF94:B32F (talk) 13:51, 7 January 2025 (UTC)

Sic

You recently edited a number of Misplaced Pages articles, including Midland Park, New Jersey, inserting {{Sic}} within an external link. {{Sic}} generates a Wikilink, so the combination generates a Links in links lint error. If sic is really needed, insert it without a template. Please go back and fix the articles you have added Links in links errors to. Cheers! —Anomalocaris (talk) 22:36, 14 January 2025 (UTC)

Update: Bruce1ee already fixed these errors. Please avoid making them in the future. —Anomalocaris (talk) 22:54, 14 January 2025 (UTC)

Anomalocaris, thanks for reaching out. This is what the Sic template is intended for, and the fact that the heading of a report for election results is off by four years is not one that should go unstated. It is and remains unpredictable as to where the Sic template will cause issues, and there was no reason to expect that any issue would arise. Not only did I remove the template from within the heading, but as pointed out, the issues have been corrected. Alansohn (talk) 23:31, 14 January 2025 (UTC)
It's fine to include sic where appropriate, and I encourage it. The problem is the template {{Sic}} generates a Wikilink, and you can't include a Wikilink inside an external link. Bruce1ee changed the markup from {{Sic}} to

NJ town in presidential results

Hi, I was wondering if you could provide further assistance with adding the presidential election results to NJ municipalities, specifically in those in Burlington, Camden, Gloucester, and Hunterdon counties. GigachadGigachad (talk) 19:22, 23 January 2025 (UTC)
