Gourmand Cookbook Award

I came across this award reviewing a draft and it appears to be a notable award mentioned in several articles. Thought you might be interested in creating an article. See also es:Gourmand World Cookbook Awards. S0091 (talk) 16:09, 5 February 2024 (UTC)

Hm, it has an entry in 8 language wikis. Definitely seems worth investigating, thanks! Valereee (talk) 17:37, 6 February 2024 (UTC)

Palestine-Israel articles 5 updates

You are receiving this message because you are on the update list for Palestine-Israel articles 5. The drafters note that the scope of the case was somewhat unclear, and clarify that the scope is The interaction of named parties in the WP:PIA topic area and examination of the WP:AE process that led to two referrals to WP:ARCA. Because this was unclear, two changes are being made:

First, the Committee will accept submissions for new parties for the next three days, until 23:59, 10 December 2024 (UTC). Anyone who wishes to suggest a party to the case may do so by creating a new section on the evidence talk page, providing a reason with WP:DIFFS as to why the user should be added, and notifying the user. After the three-day period ends, no further submission of parties will be considered except in exceptional circumstances. Because the Committee only hears disputes that have failed to be resolved by the usual means, proposed parties should have been recently taken to AE/AN/ANI, and either not sanctioned, or incompletely sanctioned. If a proposed party has not been taken to AE/AN/ANI, evidence is needed as to why such an attempt would have been ineffective.

Second, the evidence phase has been extended by a week, and will now close at 23:59, 21 December 2024 (UTC). For the Arbitration Committee, HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 03:20, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

I saw you had involved yourself in this fest, hopefully something useful will come of it. If you haven't seen Wikipedia and the Israeli–Palestinian conflict, you might find it interesting. Draft:Antisemitism on Wikipedia exists, and Criticism_of_Wikipedia#Antisemitic_bias. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 13:16, 20 December 2024 (UTC)

I'm usually pretty reluctant to get involved at arbcom, especially when I'm ignorant in general about the subject area and sources. But this is an area where I try to help out, both because I'm not interested in writing about it and because so few admins want to work there. Thanks for the links, I'll take a look!

Hi, I'll do the job at 8:00 pm (Italian time). JacktheBrown (talk) 09:23, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

Part of the Italian translation is this, although it needs to be double-checked:

Gabriele Bonci è uno chef italiano specializzato in pizza al taglio.

Primi anni di vita e istruzione

Bonci nacque da Severina e Sergio. La famiglia di sua madre era contadina nell'Agro Pontino. La famiglia di suo padre gestiva una trattoria a Cupramontana. Cominciò ad interessarsi alla panificazione dopo aver osservato sua madre lasciare lievitare l'impasto sotto un termosifone quando la famiglia usciva di casa per andare in chiesa. Bonci ricorda che ogni giorno, tornando a casa da scuola, si fermava a mangiare i supplì, le polpette di risotto fritte e una fetta di pizza al pomodoro. Frequentava la scuola alberghiera. Bonci frequentò la scuola di cucina contro il volere della famiglia. A sedici anni lavorò in una trattoria in Abruzzo. A diciotto lavorò a Londra. Ritornò a Roma e lavorò al Convivio, che all'epoca aveva due stelle Michelin.

Carriera

Dopo essersi diplomato alla scuola di cucina, Bonci ha lavorato al ristorante Simposio di Roma e alla fine è diventato chef. Nel 2003 ha aperto Pizzarium Bonci vicino alla Città del Vaticano, definito da The Atlantic" il locale di pizza al taglio più venerato di Roma" e da Katie Parla e Kristin Gill, autrici di Tasting Rome, "il locale di pizza al taglio più famoso di Roma". Ha aperto una pizzeria a Chicago con il socio americano Rick Tasman nel 2017. Sperimentò delle palline di pasta fritte simili alle palline di risotto fritte che mangiava da bambino. Divenne famoso per la sua abilità nel fare la pizza e fu nominato "Michelangelo della pizza" da Vogue. Fu invitato a un programma televisivo, La prova del cuoco. Divenne un ospite fisso. Fu anche giudice in reality show televisivi come Bake Off Italia. Elisia Menuni sviluppò un logo che Bonci utilizzò, e Bonci sviluppò un personaggio attorno ad esso, Bonci. Bonci divenne uno chef famoso in Italia al punto che un jingle, "Bonci, Bonci, bon-bon-bon", fu usato per presentarlo alle sue apparizioni. Nel 2011 iniziò a insegnare alla scuola di cucina Tricolore di Roma. Secondo Matt Goulding, Bonci "ha dato il via a una piccola rivoluzione nel mondo della panificazione e della pizza italiana". Bonci ha lavorato con i fornai di pasta madre Richard Hart e Vanessa Kimbell nel 2019, scrivendo la prefazione del libro bestseller di Vanessa Kimbell "Il pane di pasta madre". La pressione di sostenere la persona lo ha portato a ritirarsi dalla vista pubblica. A partire dai primi anni del 2020 afferma di considerarsi non un pizzaiolo ma un contadino. Bonci aveva un programma televisivo, Pizza Hero. In ogni puntata, valutava il lavoro di tre forni per pizza, scegliendone due per competere per l'opportunità di ristrutturare i loro negozi. Le riprese si svolgevano in città sparse per l'Italia. Nel 2013 è stato pubblicato Bonci's Pizza: ricette stagionali dal leggendario pizzarium di Roma. Nel 2017, Bonci ha aperto la sua prima pizzeria fuori dall'Italia, a West Loop, Chicago. Una seconda pizzeria di Chicago ha aperto a Wicker Park, Chicago, ma in seguito ha chiuso. Bonci ha aperto una pizzeria nel 2019 a New Orleans, Louisiana; in seguito ha chiuso. Nel 2021 Bonci ha aperto una pizzeria a Miami, Florida a Wynwood; in seguito ha chiuso. Nel 2023 il marchio ha aperto un'altra sede a Chicago, scegliendo il quartiere di Lincoln Park. Ad aprile 2024 il marchio aveva tre sedi a Chicago dopo l'apertura nel quartiere di Lakeview.

Approccio

Bonci si concentra su ingredienti di qualità superiore come la farina del produttore artigianale piemontese Mulino Marino. Ha sviluppato una miscela di cereali che chiama pane di semper che crea una crosta "leggera e delicata". Include cereali integrali, che producono più sapore, e farina ad alto contenuto di glutine, che aiuta le farine integrali a lievitare bene. I cereali con cui lavora includono grano integrale, farro integrale e farro. Utilizza un lievito selvatico. Secondo Nancy Harmon Jenkins incorpora olio d'oliva, il che è insolito per l'impasto della pizza.

Bonci utilizza tecniche di panificazione, come la lunga fermentazione a basse temperature, che favorisce lo sviluppo di sapori complessi nell'impasto. Non impasta. JacktheBrown (talk) 18:47, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

Thank you so much, Jack! I didn't actually intend you to do an entire translation, more just do a copyedit of the Italian machine translation, this represents so much more than I intended to ask for. I've added the article at it.wiki at Gabriel Bonci. Valereee (talk) 13:10, 22 December 2024 (UTC)

You're welcome, it was a pleasure. The translation is literal, so some phrases lack of, I don't know how to explain it, "liveliness".
Note: there's a small mistake you made when you pasted the translation (which isn't present here): "Nel 2003 ha aperto Pizzarium Bonci vicinovicino" (there are two "vicino"). JacktheBrown (talk) 13:23, 22 December 2024 (UTC)

Got it, thanks! I've fixed.

I understand what you are saying about lacking liveliness. In English, we might say 'the prose is flat'? That's no problem, I'm sure someone on it.wiki will eventually come along and make it sing. Valereee (talk) 13:39, 22 December 2024 (UTC)

Happy Holidays

Peace is a state of balance and understanding in yourself and between others, where respect is gained by the acceptance of differences, tolerance persists, conflicts are resolved through dialogue, people's rights are respected and their voices are heard, and everyone is at their highest point of serenity without social tension. ★Trekker (talk) 08:29, 22 December 2024 (UTC)

Scripts++ Newsletter – Issue 26

Hello everyone, and welcome to the 26th issue of the Wikipedia Scripts++ Newsletter, covering all our favorite new and updated user scripts since 1 August 2024. At press time, over 94% of the world has legally fallen prey to the merry celebrations of "Christmas", and so shall you soon. It's been a quiet 4 months, and we hope to see you with way more new scripts next year. Happy holidays! Aaron Liu (talk) 05:06, 25 December 2024 (UTC)

Got anything good? Tell us about your new, improved, old, or messed-up script here!

Featured script

Very useful for changelist patrollers, DiffUndo, by Nardog, is this edition's featured script. Taking inspiration from WP:AutoWikiBrowser's double-click-to-undo feature, it adds an undo button to every line of every diff from "show changes", optimizing partial reverts with your favorite magic spell and nearly fulfilling m:Community Wishlist/Wishes/Partial revert undo.

Miscellaneous

• Doğu/Adiutor, a recent WP:Twinkle/WP:RedWarn-like userscript that follows modern WMF UI design, is now an extension. However, its sole maintainer has left the project, which still awaits WMF mw:code stewardship (among some audits) to be installed on your favorite WMF wikis.
• DannyS712, our former chief editor, has ascended to MediaWiki and the greener purpley pastures of PHP with commits creating Special:NamespaceInfo and the __EXPECTUNUSEDTEMPLATE__ magic word to exclude a template from Special:UnusedTemplates! I wonder if Wikipedia has a templaters' newsletter...

Scripts++ Newsletter

Improve a script

• Many of our favorite scripts such as Fred Gandt/userResourceManager, Guarapiranga/search-shortcuts, and Bradv/Superlinks haven't been updated for Vector 2022. You could be the one to change that!
• Elominius/media timer and PrimeHunter/Search sort work, yet have alien user interface design. Someone could improve them...
• BilledMammal/Move+ needs updating to order list of pages handle lists of pages to move correctly regardless of the discussion's page, so that we may avoid repeating fiasco history.

Requested scripts

We need scripts that...

• allow you to edit {{sfn}} references graphically a la Ingenuity/ReferenceEditor
• copy specific named references from other pages to help with splitting and whatnot
• make adding icons/links to the top toolbar (or other portlets) much easier
• graphically generate a {{source assess table}}
• award a Four Award
• ...and many more, all available at Wikipedia:User scripts/Requests. Thanks to the editors at US/R—including Nardog, User:Novem Linguae, User:Jeeputer, and many more!—for their work in processing userscript requests this past year.

Updated scripts

• Andrybak/Unsigned helper forks Anomie/unsignedhelper to add support for binary search, automatic edit summaries after generating the {{unsigned}} template, support for {{undated}}, and support for generating while syntax highlighting is on.
• Pour one out: DreamRimmer/User not around forks Andrybak/Not around to allow configuration precise to a number of days (from the original precision of years).
• Red-tailed hawk/cv revdel forks Enterprisey/cv-revdel to automatically add CopyPatrol reports.
• Polygnotus/Move+ updates BilledMammal's classic Move+ to add automattic watchlisting of all pages—except the _target page(s)—changed while processing a move.

Newly maintained scripts

• Administrators only! Novem Linguae/UnblockReview forks the now-broken Enterprisey/unblock-review to review unblock requests with a graphical interface.

New scripts

• 1AmNobody24: Find Link provides a shortcut to its namesake tool, Edward/Find link, which helps de-WP:ORPHAN articles.

• 

  Andrybak: Contribs ranger (pictured) generates links to a limited range of user contributions, log items, or page history. You see, it's not just contribs!
• CanonNi/VoteVisualizer is a rewrite of Pythoncoder/voteSymbols that makes everything saner to configure.
• When viewing Category:Articles missing coordinates with coordinates on Wikidata, Jeeputer/coordInserter adds links to automatically insert coordinates into the article selected.
• To satiate archaeology and curiosity (the same thing, perhaps?), JJPMaster/AfC time logger logs the time it takes for a user to review each submission to Wikipedia:Articles for creation.
• Natdog/InsertAnyChar adds a searchable list of all Unicode characters to the 2010 source editor.

Empress Theatre (Cincinnati)

Hi Valereee, Merry Christmas! What about to create an article on the former Empress Theatre on 814 Vine Street, Cincinnati. What I found as an information here is controversial, but I hope you may have more info. My data is the following:

Built in 1846 as a Presbyterian Church, it later became the Vine Street Congregational Church. The New Empress Theatre was opened December 27, 1909 presenting vaudeville, burlesque and by 1912 film were also part of the program. By 1917 films were the major part of the program. It seated 300 and closed in 1929. On March 12, 1937 it was renamed Gayety Theatre featuring burlesque and movies. The site is now an office building.

Here is more info. Jingiby (talk) 08:20, 25 December 2024 (UTC)

Hey, Jingiby! Merry Christmas to you, too! Hm...I hadn't thought about whether that building might be notable, but yeah, it's possible. I probably won't have time today or tomorrow to do any research, have houseguests in and more expected, but I'll take a look once things get back to normal here!

I'm originally from a foreign country

Hi Valereee, thanks for the direction. I am originally from Taiwan. I actually moved here in 2010. I will provide three (only that many) significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of me. Do they have to be in English? If other language is acceptable, will Chinese be okay? Allpeoplearepeopleofcolor (talk) 18:31, 28 December 2024 (UTC)

Allpeoplearepeopleofcolor, Wikipedia is a worldwide project, so the concept of a "foreign country" does not really exist in regards to English Wikipedia editing. English language sources are preferred when available, but sources in any language are allowed. Please be aware that writing a successful autobiography is exceptionally difficult and the vast majority of people who try do not succeed, especially inexperienced editors. Our standards are very high. Cullen328 (talk) 18:40, 28 December 2024 (UTC)

I have come to understand the high standards which are absolutely merited. Thank you. Allpeoplearepeopleofcolor (talk) 18:46, 28 December 2024 (UTC)

As long as we can access the sources and translate them, non-English sources are fine. Valereee (talk) 19:52, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
