Hello the section under Rupa Marya Controversy includes some inaccuracies I was attempting to correct. Can you advise how to best do that? --DecolonialScholar (talk) 20:47, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your edits to the article were vandalism and properly reverted. I've protected the article so for at least the time being, you - and other non-autoconfirmed editors - will not be able to edit it. However, if you persist, you risk being blocked.--Bbb23 (talk) 21:02, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Approval of new article

Why is so much time wait to get approval of new article? Thinktankresearch (talk) 10:16, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Because there are 1200 other submissions as well. Nobody (talk) 10:52, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

right, then why not we make this approval process fast? Thinktankresearch (talk) 10:56, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Because quality is important, not just quantity, and there's a limited amount of reviewers. And not every reviewer knows about every type of article, so only so many may actually consider reviewing certain types of articles. Nobody (talk) 10:59, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Draft article

Hi. You have stopped the editing of a draft article at draft:Shai Davidai - but it is still draft. Any copyvio issues will be addressed. Before it is offered up for review, prior to publication. But by doing so, you have prevented that from taking place. Please revert, allowing issues to be addressed. 184.153.21.19 (talk) 20:23, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That was an Italian LTA. When you see them again on EFFPR triggering either 1094 or 1202, and they post on EFFPR, it's better to just simply remove their reports so they don't get the satisfaction they want. That's what I usually do. Codename Noreste 🤔 Talk 16:54, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Tech News: 2024-43

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Weekly highlight

The Mobile Apps team has released an update to the iOS app's navigation, and it is now available in the latest App store version. The team added a new Profile menu that allows for easy access to editor features like Notifications and Watchlist from the Article view, and brings the "Donate" button into a more accessible place for users who are reading an article. This is the first phase of a larger planned navigation refresh to help the iOS app transition from a primarily reader-focused app, to an app that fully supports reading and editing. The Wikimedia Foundation has added more editing features and support for on-wiki communication based on volunteer requests in recent years.

Updates for editors

Wikipedia readers can now download a browser extension to experiment with some early ideas on potential features that recommend articles for further reading, automatically summarize articles, and improve search functionality. For more details and to stay updated, check out the Web team's Content Discovery Experiments page and subscribe to their newsletter.
Later this month, logged-out editors of these 12 wikis will start to have temporary accounts created. The list may slightly change - some wikis may be removed but none will be added. Temporary account is a new type of user account. It enhances the logged-out editors' privacy and makes it easier for community members to communicate with them. If you maintain any tools, bots, or gadgets on these 12 wikis, and your software is using data about IP addresses or is available for logged-out users, please check if it needs to be updated to work with temporary accounts. Guidance on how to update the code is available. Read more about the deployment plan across all wikis.
View all 33 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, the South Ndebele, Pannonian Rusyn, Obolo, Iban and Tai Nüa Wikipedia languages were created last week. [1][2][3][4][5]
It is now possible to create functions on Wikifunctions using Wikidata lexemes, through the new Wikidata lexeme type launched last week. When you go to one of these functions, the user interface provides a lexeme selector that helps you pick a lexeme from Wikidata that matches the word you type. After hitting run, your selected lexeme is retrieved from Wikidata, transformed into a Wikidata lexeme type, and passed into the selected function. Read more about this in the latest Wikifunctions newsletter.

Updates for technical contributors

Users of the Wikimedia sites can now format dates more easily in different languages with the new {{#timef:…}} parser function. For example, {{#timef:now|date|en}} will show as "9 November 2024". Previously, {{#time:…}} could be used to format dates, but this required knowledge of the order of the time and date components and their intervening punctuation. #timef (or #timefl for local time) provides access to the standard date formats that MediaWiki uses in its user interface. This may help to simplify some templates on multi-lingual wikis like Commons and Meta. [6][7]
Commons and Meta users can now efficiently retrieve the user's language using {{USERLANGUAGE}} instead of using {{int:lang}}. [8]
The Product and Tech Advisory Council (PTAC) now has its pilot members with representation across Africa, Asia, Europe, North America and South America. They will work to address the Movement Strategy's Technology Council initiative of having a co-defined and more resilient technological platform. [9]

In depth

The latest quarterly Growth newsletter is available. It includes: an upcoming Newcomer Homepage Community Updates module, new Community Configuration options, and details on new projects.
The Wikimedia Foundation is now an official partner of the CVE program, which is an international effort to catalog publicly disclosed cybersecurity vulnerabilities. This partnership will allow the Security Team to instantly publish common vulnerabilities and exposures (CVE) records that are affecting MediaWiki core, extensions, and skins, along with any other code the Foundation is a steward of.
The Community Wishlist is now testing machine translations for Wishlist content. Volunteers can now read machine-translated versions of wishes and dive into discussions even before translators arrive to translate content.

Meetings and events

24 October - Wiki Education Speaker Series Webinar - Open Source Tech: Building the Wiki Education Dashboard, featuring Wikimedia interns and a Web developer in the panel.
20–22 December 2024 - Indic Wikimedia Hackathon Bhubaneswar 2024 in Odisha, India. A hackathon for community members, including developers, designers and content editors, to build technical solutions that improve contributors' experiences.

Administrator Elections: Discussion phase

Administrator Elections | Discussion phase

The discussion phase of the October 2024 administrator elections is officially open. As a reminder, the schedule of the election is:

October 22–24 - Discussion phase
October 25–31 - SecurePoll voting phase
November 1–? - Scrutineering phase

During October 22–24, we will be in the discussion phase. The candidate subpages will open to questions and comments from everyone, in the same style as a request for adminship. You may discuss the candidates at Wikipedia:Administrator elections/October 2024/Discussion phase.

On October 25, we will start the voting phase. The candidate subpages will close again to public questions and discussion, and everyone will have a week to use the SecurePoll software to vote, which uses a secret ballot. You can see who voted, but not who they voted for. Please note that the vote tallies cannot be made public until after voting has ended and as such, it will not be possible for you to see an individual candidate's tally during the election. The suffrage requirements are different from those at RFA.

Once voting concludes, we will begin the scrutineering phase, which will last for an indeterminate amount of time, perhaps a week or two. Once everything is certified, the results will be posted on the main election page. In order to be granted adminship, a candidate must have received at least 70.0% support, calculated as Support / (Support + Oppose). As this is a vote and not a consensus, there are no bureaucrat discussions ("crat chats").

Any questions or issues can be asked on the election talk page. Thank you for your participation. Happy electing.

Question from Nephila121 (00:00, 23 October 2024)

Hello. I want to create a page about Matrona cyanoptera, AKA the Formosan Jewelwing. The page on creating a new wikipedia article says I can only do it by accessing the "red link" of an article that doesn't yet exist. However, when I try to access the non-existent article for "Matrona cyanoptera," I can't, because the URL automatically redirects me to the article on the genus "Matrona." Could you please tell me how I might create an article without being redirected to the genus page? --Nephila121 (talk) 00:00, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Nephila121, Matrona cyanoptera is currently a Redirect. If you want to create a article for it, you should do it at either Draft:Matrona cyanoptera (where you already started) or at User:Nephila121/Matrona cyanoptera. Cheers Nobody (talk) 05:08, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from M Jeanne Moorhouse (06:53, 23 October 2024)

Not a question - an introduction: This is the second time I've signed up for editing Wikipedia. My interest is the accuracy of reporting related to "Port Hinchinbrook" and the Hinchinbrook Campaign (which I coordinated); and in Wikipedia reporting accurately the "facts" in the face of continuing efforts to distort them. I have access to 1000s of pages of government and other documents now digitised (took me 20 years). Thankyou! --M Jeanne Moorhouse (talk) 06:53, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, 1AmNobody24! Having an article draft declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing.

Journal redirects

Hey, I've noticed that you've created a few journal redirects to universities. As of now the university pages don't mention these journals at all. It might be better to add a list of journals that are published by the university to its page (with good references) and then creating the redirects. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 08:06, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi MPGuy2824, I plan to write something about the universitys Online Publishing Service, but I haven't found the right place for it yet. Nobody (talk) 08:10, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The problem is that since these journals aren't mentioned there, these redirects have a high chance of being taken to RFD. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 08:14, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've always had the Redirects are cheap opinion. Since they are not unreasonable search terms and sometimes even used as sources (RPURPOSE), I think it's unlikely someone will take them to RfD and even then I can just write a section about then on the target article. But I get why you you're not happy with unmentionted journal being redirected there. Nobody (talk) 08:21, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"Swiss Journal of Business Research and Practice" listed at Redirects for discussion

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Academic journals established in 1888

A tag has been placed on Category:Academic journals established in 1888 indicating that it is currently empty, and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.

Tech News: 2024-45

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Updates for editors

Stewards can now make global account blocks cause global autoblocks. This will assist stewards in preventing abuse from users who have been globally blocked. This includes preventing globally blocked temporary accounts from exiting their session or switching browsers to make subsequent edits for 24 hours. Previously, temporary accounts could exit their current session or switch browsers to continue editing. This is an anti-abuse tool improvement for the Temporary Accounts project. You can read more about the progress on key features for temporary accounts. [10]
Wikis that have the CampaignEvents extension enabled can now use the Collaboration List feature. This list provides a new, easy way for contributors to learn about WikiProjects on their wikis. Thanks to the Campaign team for this work that is part of the 2024/25 annual plan. If you are interested in bringing the CampaignEvents extension to your wiki, you can follow these steps or you can reach out to User:Udehb-WMF for help.
The text color for red links will be slightly changed later this week to improve their contrast in light mode. [11]
View all 32 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, on multilingual wikis, users can now hide translations from the WhatLinksHere special page.

Updates for technical contributors

XML data dumps have been temporarily paused whilst a bug is investigated. [12]

In depth

Temporary Accounts have been deployed to six wikis; thanks to the Trust and Safety Product team for this work, you can read about the deployment plans. Beginning next week, Temporary Accounts will also be enabled on seven other projects. If you are active on these wikis and need help migrating your tools, please reach out to User:Udehb-WMF for assistance.
The latest quarterly Language and Internationalization newsletter is available. It includes: New languages supported in translatewiki or in MediaWiki; New keyboard input methods for some languages; details about recent and upcoming meetings, and more.

Meetings and events

MediaWiki Users and Developers Conference Fall 2024 is happening in Vienna, Austria and online from 4 to 6 November 2024. The conference will feature discussions around the usage of MediaWiki software by and within companies in different industries and will inspire and onboard new users.

There are few things to consider for the edit you made: First is the fact that you copied the text from his website which is a no-go. It's a copyright violation. You should write text in your own words, not copy it from somewhere. Second is the fact that the text is quite promotional and uses PEACOCK terms, which should also be avoided. I recommend that you take a look at Help:Your first article and Help:Getting started to learn how a basic article should be written. Nobody (talk) 17:43, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by DoubleGrazing was:

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just brief mentions about the subject or routine announcements)
reliable
secondary
strictly independent of the subject

Hi DoubleGrazing (congrats on admin btw), I agree that the current sources are clearly not in-depth, but I'm wondering how many in-depth I should search for before resubmitting, 2-4 or more? Thanks Nobody (talk) 09:01, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi (and thanks!), we usually want to see three solid sources that meet the WP:GNG standard; while that's not a hard and fast rule, for companies and other organisations it in practice probably is the minimum. Best, -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 09:29, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
