Greetings!

Thank you very much for signing up to participate in the Months of African Cinema global contest/edit-a-thon, and thank you for your contributions so far.

It is already the middle of the contest and a lot have been achieved already! We have been able to get over 200 articles created in over seven (7) languages! The figures soars to up to a thousand, if Wikidata entries are included. Furthermore, there have been about 5 in-person gatherings of Wikipedians in different countries across the world to create articles about African(a) cinema!

We are very excited about what has been achieved so far, but your contributions are still needed to further exceed all expectations! Let’s create more articles before the end of this contest, which is this November!!!

• Article suggestions can be found here. You can also add to this list.
• Some notable reliable sources for African cinema can be found here. Again, this list needs expansion.
• Interested in Wikidata translation? check out the Occupation Drive, which is being led by Wiki Loves Women, in support of the contest and the project!
• Please remember to list articles you have created or improved in the Article Achievements section of the contest page, so that they can be easily tracked.

Thank you once again for being part of this global event!

Kind regards.--Jamie Tubers (talk) 22:50, 10 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Secundus Zephyrus. Voting in the 2018 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23.59 on Sunday, 3 December. All users who registered an account before Sunday, 28 October 2018, made at least 150 mainspace edits before Thursday, 1 November 2018 and are not currently blocked are eligible to vote. Users with alternate accounts may only vote once.

The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process.

This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.

If you wish to participate in the 2018 election, please review the candidates and submit your choices on the voting page. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 18:42, 19 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Greetings!

The Months of African Cinema Global Edit-a-thon was concluded on 30 November 2018, and we've had amazing results. Over 570 articles were created across 8 language-Wikipedias. 7 in-person gatherings of Wikipedians were organized across different parts of the world.

All our winners have been recognized and you can check the complete list here.

For a pilot event, all our expectations were surpassed and we have you to thank for that. Thank you so much for being part of this global event! Thank you for helping to fix African content gaps on Wikipedia! We hope to see more of your participation in future AfroCine events and activities. Please remember to signup on the main WikiProject participants page, in order to get updated with these activities.--Jamie Tubers (talk) 23:50, 20 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Wild Nights with Emily, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Guggenheim Foundation (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Since you value Anna Biller's Tweets as encyclopedic material, maybe you should pat attention to this Tweet: https://twitter.com/missannabiller/status/979169332193247232

I think she should know where she was born better than some Hawaii journalist who didn't do their homework.

The link you provided about her doing performance art is not about her - it's about someone else.

I know from IMDB that Vagrant Films Releasing distributed her film Viva in Canada and in the US. And nowhere does it say that she took two years to make her short film because she likes to do everything herself. In fact for all of her films she has had a sizable crew (again check IMDB), although she filled several creative positions herself.

So I would really appreciate it if you would take all of this stuff out and revert to my edits. Thank you very much.— Preceding unsigned comment added by ‎Carnival Honey (talk • contribs) 05:44, 15 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for writing to me, I was actually in the middle of writing a message to you when I got the notification. That tweet is very helpful, and that is the sort of evidence you need to cite when changing information on Wikipedia.

Your other points don't have enough evidence, unfortunately. I can't find evidence of anyone else named Anna Biller who was making feminist art in 2003: how do you know it's not the same person? I will quote the article that I read that in: "Slapstick, combined with paradox and camp, is the mainstay of such feminist performance artists as Amy Sedaris, Anna Biller and Ann Magnuson. Pierce would do well to study the work of those pioneering women before continuing her foray into the genre." The other two women mentioned work in film, so it makes sense that this Anna Biller in question also is a performer in films, and therefore the same Anna Biller that directed and acted in Viva. IMDb is not a reliable source when it comes to distribution information (for more info, see Wikipedia:Citing IMDb). I have reliable evidence that she distributed the film by herself: she said so in an interview (listen to this podcast, she says it at 39:50). As you said above, she would know better than some IMDb journalist who didn't do their homework.

I will admit that the wording of my sentence that she "likes to do everything herself" might be slightly wrong, but she did say something very similar in this interview: "It too about two years to make that movie, but I was learning how to produce and direct as well as to use the equipment and edit as I went along." and also "Although I did go to film school, I never really worked like other students there. I had an art background so I made films more like an artist making work in the studio, preparing sets and costumes for months, and mostly just brought people in for the shooting days and for rehearsals. I’ve watched a lot of films, so a lot of it was copying things I liked from movies, but making it personal. I feel like, for me at least, I need to have a hand in everything to make a film that’s organic and meaningful." I think rewording that sentence might be a good idea, and I'm open to any suggestions you have about how it should be worded instead. Thanks for taking the time to discuss all this, I'm glad there are people like you who are passionate about getting the information correct! I hope that all makes sense, and let me know if you have any questions. --Secundus Zephyrus (talk) 06:23, 15 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! Forgive me if I am not doing this correctly. I am new to editing on wikipedia. I listened to an NPR podcast on Wikipedia from the founder and was inspired to join the community and learn more. I noticed that you were the first to post about the Concrete Cowboys. I am connected to the film and therefore did not want to make any additions as I am biased. I noticed that you also seem to be interested in Philadelphia based topics. I would like to propose that you add the Philadelphia based company Neighborhood Film Company to the list of production companies and have you research the company for addition. I would also like to propose having you research Ricky Staub the writer and director who is Philadelphia based and create a page for him. Thank you for starting the Concrete Cowboys page. Very well done!

The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Deafula. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Deafula), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

A tag has been placed on Concrete Cowboys (disambiguation) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G14 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a disambiguation page which either

• disambiguates only one extant Wikipedia page and whose title ends in "(disambiguation)" (i.e., there is a primary topic);
• disambiguates zero extant Wikipedia pages, regardless of its title; or
