Category:Cycle racing in Gibraltar

Hi Severo. Thanks for explaining but I still believe but by categorising it under Category:Cycle racing in the United Kingdom may give the reader the impression that Gibraltar is a part of the UK, which it is not. I'm open to discussion. Perhaps Category:Regional bodies of British Cycling would be more suitable? Cheers, --Gibmetal 77^{talk 2 me} 21:03, 29 January 2014 (UTC)

I agree, tough one. The Isle of Man and Gibraltar are in the same boat on this one - cyclists for both would and do compete (except at the Commonwealths) for Great Britain; events are ultimately sanctioned by British Cycling etc. We have a Category:Sport in British dependencies - how about something like Category:Cycle racing in British dependencies? We might categorise under Category:Cycle racing in the United Kingdom but it should be clear enough to indicate Gibraltar is not part of the UK? Severo (talk) 21:48, 29 January 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for hearing me out, it doesn't happen too often on Wiki these days! Gibraltar is technically a British Overseas Territory so I'd be happy with Category:Cycle racing in British Overseas Territories. However, this could not include the Isle of Man which is of course a Crown dependency... Sorry I'm pedantic by nature! :) --Gibmetal 77^{talk 2 me} 12:48, 30 January 2014 (UTC)

A good example of WP:BRD this! I think there's a case for renaming Category:Sport in British dependencies to Category:Sport in British Overseas Territories and Crown Dependencies as it's a subcategory of Category:British Overseas Territories and Crown Dependencies (and would match other categories) and if we did that I'd be happy with renaming any sport subcategory thereafter in the same way. I think it would be best to keep the by sport element on this double level although there wouldn't be any problem in also having categories such as Category:Sport in British Overseas Territories and Category:Sport in Crown Dependencies (there's issues with this naming as the category naming in Category:Crown dependencies is all over the place and I will take that to Categories for discussion to get some uniformity). What do you think? Severo (talk) 17:25, 30 January 2014 (UTC)

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you, been busy with the birth of my daughter. That certainly works for me! :) --Gibmetal 77^{talk 2 me} 10:03, 3 February 2014 (UTC)

WikiProject Poland Newsletter • January 2014 • Issue II

WikiProject Poland Newsletter • January 2014 • Issue II For our freedom and yours Welcome to the second issue of WikiProject Poland newsletter, the Monitor (named after the first Polish newspaper). Our Project has been operational since 1 June, 2005, and also serves as the Poland-related Wikipedia notice board. I highly recommend watchlisting the Wikipedia:WikiProject Poland page, so you can be aware of the ongoing discussions. We hope you will join us in them, if you haven't done so already! Unlike many other WikiProjects, we are quite active; we get close to a hundred discussion threads each year and we do a pretty good job at answering all issues raised. Last year we were featured in the Signpost, and our interviewer was amazed at our activity. In the end, however, even as active as we are, we are just a tiny group - you can easily become one of our core members! In addition to a lively encyclopedic, Poland-related, English-language discussion forum, we have numerous useful tools that can be of use to you - and that you could help us maintain and develop: we have an active assessment department. As of now, our project has tagged almost 83,000 pages as Poland-related - that's an improvement of over 3,000 new pages since the last newsletter. Out of which 30 still need a quality assessment, and 2,000, importance assessment. We have done a lot to clear the backlog here (3 years ago those numbers were 1,500 and 20,000, respectively). Can you help assess a few pages? assessing articles is as easy as filling in the class= and importance= parameters on the talk page in the {{WPPOLAND|class=|importance=}} template. See here for a how-to guide. once an article has an assessment template, it will appear in our article alerts and news feed, which provides information on which Poland-related articles are considered for deletion, move, or are undergoing a Good or Featured review. Watchlisting that feed, in addition to watchlisting our project's main page, is a good way to make sure you stay up to date on most Poland-related discussions. you can also see detailed deletion discussions at Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Poland (which is a good place to watchlist if you just want to stay up to date on possible deletions of Poland-related content) we have also begun B-class quality reviews on our talk page, and if our activity increases, hopefully we will be able to institute our own A-class quality reviews. As of now, we have about 500 C-class articles in need of a B-class review. If you'd like to help with them, instructions for doing B-class reviews are to be found in point 10 of our assessment FAQ. In addition to this automated list, you are also encouraged to help review articles from our B-class reviews requested list found here. also, those articles will be included in our cleanup listing, which allows us to see which top-importance articles are in need for attention, and so on. We have tens of thousands articles in need of cleanup there, so if you ever need something to do, just look at this gigantic list. (I am currently reviewing the articles tagged with notability, either proving them notable or nominating for deletion; there are still several dozens left if you want to help!). did you know that newly created Poland-related articles are listed here. They need to be reviewed, often cleaned-up, occasionally nominated for deletion, and their creators may need to be welcomed and invited to our project if they show promise as new authors of Poland-related content. we are maintaining a Portal:Poland automated Wikipedia:WikiProject Poland/Popular pages lists the most popular Poland-related pages from the previous month(s) Breaking news: we are looking for a Wikipedian in Residence for the New York City area. See Wikipedia:GLAM/Józef Piłsudski Institute of America for details. This is not all; on our page you can find a list of useful templates (including userboxes), awards and other tools! With all that said, how about you join our discussions at WT:POLAND? Surely, there must be something you could help others with, or perhaps you are in need of assistance yourself? It took me three years to finish this issue. Feel free to help out getting the next one before 2017 by being more active in WikiProject management :) You have received this newsletter because you are listed as a member at WikiProject Poland.

Proposed deletion of Ludovic Auger

The article Ludovic Auger has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Subject may not meet WP:N or WP:BIO

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles 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 article 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. The Parson's Cat (talk) 17:25, 10 February 2014 (UTC)

I wonder if you are well-placed to resolve the problems with this page? Please see the discussion on the article's talk page? The Parson's Cat (talk) 19:54, 10 February 2014 (UTC)

I will try if I get time. I took a brief look earlier and there are online sources but the majority of sources will be offline and in French. Severo (talk) 22:12, 10 February 2014 (UTC)

Polish Cup

Can you create more seasons in Polish Cup ? I am interested in the subject, also other people and there are loads of red links. You are from there, you should improve it. Thank you!--Alexiulian25 (talk) 17:54, 14 November 2015 (UTC)

If you're interested, you'd be the best one to do it. Severo (talk) 20:52, 21 November 2015 (UTC)

You are from there, you know better then me, (it is your country - I do the same for my country CUP). At least add a table with finals and results instead of the simple list of "Polish Cup winners". Thanks!--Alexiulian25 (talk) 22:12, 21 November 2015 (UTC)

You can read my userpage to see where I'm actually from. At any rate, I have no interest in creating or major editing of football pages Severo (talk) 23:34, 21 November 2015 (UTC)

It is write on your page : "This user is a member of WikiProject Poland." So, I thought that you are interested also in Polish football.--Alexiulian25 (talk) 00:40, 22 November 2015 (UTC)
