Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited The No.1 Christmas Album, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Kiss FM. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Yathartha Pictures

There was total consensus here, so I see no basis for a No Consensus close.  And even if you ignore WP:BAN policy and read into the nominator's comment, there was no deletion argument in the nomination, but rather a RfC.  If you think there is some issue with a Keep, then you have the option of Speedy Keep for nomination withdrawn.  Regards, Unscintillating (talk) 18:48, 27 December 2015 (UTC)

@Unscintillating: Fair enough. I chose WP:NPASR no consensus because there was only one response, but there are other AfDs filed by this nominator that were speedy kept due to their ban so there's precedent. I'll revise my close. clpo13(talk) 18:54, 27 December 2015 (UTC)

film articles

Why do you insist on my editings;Why do you remove my editings in the pages 2010 in film, 2011 in film, 2012 in film; I change only some small details.The general point of the pages I mentioned remain exactly the same.I changed some details, not the point.Why the pages 2013 in film and 2014 in film have their paintings in numbers; — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.72.247.184 (talk) 19:35, 27 December 2015 (UTC)

The policy is MOS:LARGENUM. You're going against consensus. And now you're edit warring over it. You need to use the article talk page to justify your changes according to WP:BRD. clpo13(talk) 19:37, 27 December 2015 (UTC)
See also previous discussions at Talk:2015 in film#Disagrreement and Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Film/Archive 58#MOS:LARGENUM issues. clpo13(talk) 19:40, 27 December 2015 (UTC)

Why do you insist;Why the pages 2014 in film and 2015 in film have their tables of highest grossing films in numbers;

The 2013 and 2014 pages did have the rounded numbers before an edit war over it. I've fixed them. I held off on changing 2015 in film because the discussion about that page is still ongoing regarding how to format the tables in XXXX in film pages. clpo13(talk) 20:02, 27 December 2015 (UTC)

I prefer the Extended content for the lists of highest grossing films for the pages 2010 in film and beyond rather than the content that you present-they have the full grossing number for each film rather that the grossing number shortly.This is because it I easier to compare these films in full grossing number.Besides I ask this only for the pages related to yers in film not foir the pages about the film for example 300 (film) says that the Box office of this film was $456.1 million.I ask for this page to remain the same, not to be changed.Understood; — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.72.247.184 (talk) 20:41, 27 December 2015 (UTC)

RESPONDING TO MY REMOVED EDIT ON WIKIPEDIA'S ALEX JONES BIO...

HELLO DOUG - CLPO13...

THANKYOU FOR YOUR EMAIL REGARDING THE REMOVAL OF MY EDIT TO ALEX JONES BIO BY WIKIPEDIA...

I READ THE BIO, OBVIOUSLY, BEFORE I 'EDITED' - THAT IS 'WHY' I EDITED...;) ...THERE WAS NOT ONE UNBIASED COMMENT TO THE BIO NARRATIVE ON ALEX.

I saw not one clue of any 'NEUTRALITY' IN THAT BIO - THAT IS WHY I EDITED...;)...TRUTH is SELDOM NEUTRAL...as a LONG TIME LISTENER OF ALEX JONES PROGRAM, I think I ought to know something about the Man...;) ...I HAVE DONE MY HOMEWORK...that's WHY I EDITED...;)... For all that was said by the bio author - I think Alex deserved some positive input into his bio...that is WHY I EDITED...;) ...the whole TONE OF THAT AUTHOR'S BIO WAS NOWHERE NEUTRAL...that is WHY I EDITED...;)...

To be fair...WHICH I EXPECTED WIKIPEDIA WOULD NOT BE...if you were unbiased and TRULY NEUTRAL...you would have posted the comments I added to the bio...it's called FREEDOM OF SPEECH...which appears to be what the author's contribution to Alex's Bio WAS...a display of 'FREEDOM OF SPEECH...I did not like the TONE OF THAT NARRATIVE...but, just as he has the right to post what he did, FREEDOM OF SPEECH, permits me the same right to give my HONEST TAKE ON THE MAN ALEX JONES...that is WHY I EDITED...;) L.

IN CONCLUSION...I AM REQUESTING IT BE ADDED TO THE BIO...as I am a researched and longtime friend of the ALEX JONES PROGRAM...I have had my own small alternative site for 8 years and am quite qualified to speak on behalf of this Man; and would like to clarify something - when you use the words 'CONSPIRACY THEORIST' - THAT IS NOT BEING 'NEUTRAL.' In fact, that is a 'JUDGMENT' against his person...but, to add...isn't it funny, that every conspiracy that he has supposedly 'theorized' has become a REALITY over the last 20 years he has been on the air...;) LOOK IT UP! YOU KNOW I AM RIGHT.

MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM VANCOUVER, CANADA. LAYNA JAN WILSON. — Preceding unsigned comment added by LaynaLanguage (talk • contribs) 09:45, 28 December 2015 (UTC)

Thanks Clpo13

Hello C- I'm Richard. I made the edit on The Godfather page (location of Patsy's restaurant). Maybe I misunderstood your note, is an explanation required on all edits? Well in any case an explanation is a good thing and I'm glad you brought the protocol to my attention.

I've redone the edit so at least the end of the sentence is now accurate. I can't vouch for Coppola bringing the cast there but I live in Manhattan and have been to Patsy's a few times. It's nowhere near "East Harlem," at least in NYC terms. I think "midtown Manhattan" fits the article better than an actual street address would.

Thanks again for your note - keep up the good work! -Rich — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.203.194.179 (talk) 18:02, 30 December 2015 (UTC)

Style mention in lead

It wasn't to just "make a point." It was to help the encyclopedia be consistent. Consistency is not "vandalism" or even a lesser form of supposed "disruptive editing."

MGS 5

Hello Clpo13,

I probably triggered some detection mechanism with one of my edits. Would you mind having another look at it? I was trying to create/restore an NPOV/non-partisan subsection-title (for a subsection that is already dubious), which has been continously reverted to a more slanted version. The section discusses whether a character is portrayed as sexualized or not. Yet the title is always being reverted to a version that makes it appear as if the article arrived at some kind of verdict (which would be a breach of WP:Impartial). Not to mention that someone felt the need to create a whole seperate subsection JUST for this (probably to make it appear in the table of contents and thus make it overly visible) is a bit shady, isn't it? Stuff like this can be discussed (and probably should, if it is relevant), but on the character-page and not the Videogame Page, as to not make it appear like slander/Breach of WP:Undue or similar.84.143.232.204 (talk) 09:14, 20 January 2016 (UTC)

Tech News: 2016-04

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

Recent changes

  • You can now follow when pages are added or removed from a category on German Wikipedia. The plan is to add it to Wikimedia Commons and other Wikipedias this week. [1][2]
  • Administrators can hide individual entries of a page with RevisionDelete. There is now a button to choose "all", "none" or "inverse" in Special:Log. The article history will get the same buttons soon. Wikis that have done this locally with JavaScript will be able to remove that code. [3]

Changes this week

  • You will be able to see the references when you preview a section you are editing. This will happen even if there is no <references /> tag in that section. [4]
  • The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 26 January. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 27 January. It will be on all wikis from 28 January (calendar).

Meetings

  • You can join the next meeting with the VisualEditor team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 26 January at 20:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

  • There is now an extension called ArticlePlaceholder. It can automatically generate content on Wikipedia with data from Wikidata if there is no Wikipedia article. It will have a tag to remind the reader it is not an article and ask the reader to create one. The developer is now looking for smaller Wikipedias that want to try the extension. [5]
  • The OTRS system will be upgraded. The plan is to do this on 3 February at 08:00 (UTC). It will probably take 6 to 8 hours. OTRS will be down during the upgrade. [6]
  • Users will soon be automatically congratulated when they reach some edit count milestones. [7]

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

Problems

  • Sites with a wikimedia.org address were by mistake redirected to the Wikimedia Foundation wiki on 26 January. This included Meta and Wikimedia Commons. The mistake was fixed after an hour. [8]
  • Some users had problems logging in and out around 22 January. Bots also had problems and edit previews did not work properly. This was because of problems related to the new component SessionManager. It was undone on 23 January. [9][10]
  • Because of new problems with SessionManager the latest version of MediaWiki was removed from the Wikimedia wikis again on 31 January. The new version this week will be without SessionManager. [11]

Changes this week

  • The page history will get a help link. This will go to Help:Page history on Meta. Wikis can exchange it for a link to their local pages. [12]
  • Notifications will only show part of a page name if it is very long. You will also have another way to mark notifications as read. [13][14]
  • The Universal Language Selector input methods are now available with the visual editor. This means many who write in non-Latin scripts can now use the visual editor. [15]
  • The visual editor will now give you more tools to edit tables. You can move rows and columns in a table and copy parts of tables to make new ones. You can also copy and paste more than one cell at the same time. [16][17][18]
  • The visual editor has a new warning message when you leave a page you are editing without saving. Non-English wikis might need to translate it. [19][20]
  • The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 2 February. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 3 February. It will be on all wikis from 4 February (calendar).

Meetings

Future changes

  • The rest.wikimedia.org domain will be shut down. This is planned to happen in March. You should use /api/rest_v1/ at each individual project domain instead. [21]

what I've added is exactly what the article says. what you/the other guys put there is unsupported even by the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.25.22.111 (talk) 11:15, 5 February 2016 (UTC)

Well it's freaking obvious that the reference doesn't support the statement. It's also quite obvious that the reference is incorrect. I did try removing it, then rewording it, and in my last edit there were no personal opinions of mine whatsoever. And then your hurried friend reverted and protected the article. :( — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.25.22.111 (talk) 11:31, 5 February 2016 (UTC)

It sounds to me that you think admins ignore content issues only because they aren't taking your side (also, I count one admin in this discussion; way to generalize admin behavior based on one guy). Might I suggest WP:DRN? clpo13(talk) 20:34, 6 February 2016 (UTC)
I tried WP:DRN before on an article. The volunteer ignored my comments and the problems. Volunteers at DRN also do not take sides with the content. They take sides only with WP:CON. Two other admins are aware of the dispute at paleo. One of them told me the same thing you told me. Try DRN. Should I repeat past mistakes when they don't work? I removed the OR. I also added a 2015 review to the article and that was deleted. I went to the editor's talk page and told the editors about it. The respond was "Stop posting to my talk page".

List of oldest living people

You came within a hair's breadth of being blocked for edit warring on this article, as the edits are not obvious vandalism and therefore you violated WP:3RR yourself. Seriously, it's only that the semi-protection was placed that I believe you will not continue reverting, making a block superfluous. Please read What is not vandalism carefully. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 11:11, 10 February 2016 (UTC)

Removal of sourced, encyclopedic content without explanation looks like vandalism to me. clpo13(talk) 11:18, 10 February 2016 (UTC)
No it isn't. Read the policy carefully. If I removed "In 2006, Putin was accused of child abuse" with a citation to the Daily Mail from Vladimir Putin, for example, that would be a correct adherence to the biographies of living persons policy and not vandalism. In this instance, a user does not believe the source given is sufficient to verify a living person's age, and removing it is good practice per the BLP policy. You may not agree with their view (I have no opinion one way or another on the issue), but if a reasonable person cannot conclude an edit is clearly and blatantly making the encyclopedia worse, it is not vandalism. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 11:22, 10 February 2016 (UTC)
The page in question has a serious problem with certain editors believing that the only valid source for longevity is the Gerontology Research Group. Discussion on the talk page has led to the consensus that any reliable source is sufficient. The IP was removing information that was sourced accordingly and was included on the basis of talk page discussion. They gave no explanation, did not chime in on the talk page, and ignored several warnings. This isn't a matter of disagreement. There's a long history of disruption on pages like this one. clpo13(talk) 11:31, 10 February 2016 (UTC)
I don't disagree with anything that you just said, but the way to solve disruptive editing is not to be disruptive yourself! Administrators are required by policy not to take sides in a dispute and will sanction editors on both sides if they have to. If you have "previous" with this IP, you should have gone straight to RPP without reverting, supplying diffs to prove why protection was necessary. Like Caesar's wife, you must be above suspicion.

  • There is a beta feature that adds links to the subject on other Wikimedia projects. The plan was to have it leave beta testing and be enabled for everyone in January. It will happen on 16 February instead. Wikis that don't want this can decide to have it disabled. [36][37]
  • Cross-wiki notifications will be available as a beta feature on Wikidata, MediaWiki, Commons, and all Hebrew and French wikis on 19 February. [38]
  • The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 16 February. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 17 February. It will be on all wikis from 18 February (calendar).

Meetings

  • You can join the next meeting with the VisualEditor team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 16 February at 20:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

  • The search function on Wikimedia wikis will get a completion suggester that tries to find the right pages as the user is typing. It will also recognize some typos. This will probably happen in March. It is currently in beta. [39]

Recent changes

  • Thanks to the Graph extension and Pageview API, we now have {{Graph:PageViews}} templates that can show pageviews for any wiki page for any of the wikis. See the examples.
  • The Capiunto extension is installed on test wiki. Capiunto provides flexible infobox functionality for Scribunto and generates HTML for infobox features such as headers and rows. It is designed for clean and modern infoboxes that are driven by data from Wikidata, easily usable across different language versions, and easily extensible.
  • The visual editor now follows the TemplateData format setting announced in November. When you edit or add a use of a template, the wikitext will be laid out in one of the two ways. [45][46]
  • The order of parameters and format defined in a template's TemplateData will be now respected. [47][48]

Changes this week

  • On wikis where the visual editor is available in single edit tab mode, red links may open the visual editor instead of the wikitext editor, depending on user preferences. [49]
  • Anonymous editor warning is now displayed as a warningbox for consistency in both the visual editor and the wikitext editor. [50]
  • Parsoid has been updated to fit some HTML 5 specifications. [51]

Meetings

  • Resigning executive director Lila Tretikov is taking questions at Knowledge Engine FAQ regarding the much talked about project. [52]
  • You can join the next meeting with the VisualEditor team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 1 March at 20:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Wikidata weekly summary #198

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.

Social Justice Warriors

Thought it was quite apt personally. Have you seen some of the actions the so called social justice movement recently? Violently attacking men's rights, interrupting gay pride marches for their own selfish gains.

These people are a major issue in society and to have a page that panders to them is just wrong. The fact several social sites have buckled and caved into these people, resulting in user numbers dropping significantly in the case of Twitter should be a wake up call.

Being intimidated into taking action, as Twitter and Facebook have done, silencing the opposing view (free speech anyone?) and using fear/harassment is basically terrorism. Similar to how PETA committed terror attacks previously.

I advise you to research my claims if you disagree.

Regards

Sorry if this isn't how to contact you. It was the only option I was given. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.93.82.20 (talk) 20:01, 21 February 2016 (UTC)

Talk pages are an appropriate method of communication. However, your edit violated Wikipedia's policy on neutrality (especially impartial tone) and original research. Wikipedia reports on what reliable sources say and the current sources in the article say SJW is mainly a pejorative term. If you want your changes to stick, you'll need to provide sources backing up your statements. clpo13(talk) 20:08, 21 February 2016 (UTC)

Fair enough. I shall gather the sources and remake the edits, impartially of course.

In the meantime, give this a watch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iARHCxAMAO0&list=PLCF7F5T5eiT4evxjou0XCyvpn6Wznt9ci

The face of social justice and third wave feminism (denounced almost entirely by first and second wave feminists I might add). A MRA convention attacked and hounded by feminist social justice warriors. The term isnt derogatory against them because those saying it are mean spirited people. Its because the shoe fits. The video alone and the others attached to it should stand as a source for the anti mens rights element of Social Justice and Feminism. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.93.82.20 (talk) 20:26, 21 February 2016 (UTC)

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

Recent changes

  • Files on Wikimedia Commons can now be 2 GB big. The old limit was 1 GB. [53]
  • Welcome notifications now have a different symbol. English Wikipedia already had this one. [54]
  • The Wikimedia memory cache servers in the Eqiad cluster have now been upgraded to Debian 8 (Jessie). Some users might have had to log in again because of this. [55]
  • It is now easier to categorize images uploaded to Wikimedia Commons in the Commons Android app. [56]
  • Bare attributes in tags now parse according to the HTML5 specifications. <pages from= to= section=1> will parse as <pages from="to=" section="1"> instead of <pages from="" to="" section="1"> as it used to. Please use <pages from="" to="" section=1> or <pages section=1> instead. This is mostly likely to affect pages on Wikisource projects. [57]

Problems

  • Phabricator has been a bit unstable lately. This should be fixed now. [58]
  • The PageView API shows wrong data between 23 February and 29 February for pages with special characters in their title. [59]
  • The parsing change mentioned above caused a large number of pages to break, especially on Wikisource. [60]
  • You may see falsely formatted edit links on both mobile and desktop devices. Mobile devices can also show incorrect formatted table of contents. This should be fixed soon. [61]
  • Templates using TemplateData that were edited with the visual editor might have some problems in wikitext mode. This can be fixed by editing and saving the page by using the visual editor without making any changes. [62]

Changes this week

  • Cross-wiki notifications will be enabled as a beta feature on all wikis on 10 March. You will be able to get notifications when something happens on another Wikimedia wiki. [63]
  • The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 8 March. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 9 March. It will be on all wikis from 10 March (calendar).
  • Wikivoyages will get the Kartographer extension. Kartographer will allow <mapframe> and <maplink> tags in an article to insert an interactive map and overlay it with different markers. You can add ideas and suggestions to the Maps talk page. If you find any bugs, you can report them in Phabricator. [64]

Meetings

  • You can join the next meeting with the VisualEditor team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 8 March at 20:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

  • The buttons in interfaces will be simplified. Instead of white, red, green and blue buttons, in future there will only be white, red and blue ones. [65]
  • The Wikimedia technical operations team plans to do some server work on 22 March. This could cause some problems, for example make it possible to read but not edit the Wikimedia wikis for a short period of time. The date for this might change. [66]

Can't edit talk page on Hebron now

What good is the warning that was sent if I can't edit the Hebron Talk page now and it has been left with the critisms of the NPOV of the the source matierial removed from the discussion. An consnesus has been established that the author in question is NPOV and that an edit of the page should take place, and the response to that consensus was to remove the consesus and the facts, and lock the page. Hilltop venture (talk) 00:43, 6 March 2016 (UTC)

@Hilltop venture: Due to the excessive disruption of Talk:Hebron, the page has been semi-protected, which means only autoconfirmed editors (accounts older than 4 days with at least 10 edits) can edit the page. However, due to a recent Arbitration Committee ruling (WP:ARBPIA3), editors with accounts younger than 30 days and fewer than 500 edits are not allowed to edit topics related to the Arab–Israeli conflict (WP:ARBPIA3#500/30). That doesn't necessarily include talk pages, but enough disruption may result in talk page messages being removed or talk page access being revoked. clpo13(talk) 20:09, 6 March 2016 (UTC)

The Ridda wars POV edit (Najd section)

The edit that I made was correct because, later in the article, the issue of rape is discussed according to the Shia vs. Sunni opinion. Both opinions agree that Khalid bin Walid killed Malik ibn Nuwayra. The issue of rape is only part of the Shia POV, hence it was removed (as later in the article, the difference in sectarian opinions are discussed). It is confusing for a reader to first read that both murder and rape occured, and only later in the article to find out that this is a matter of POV. The edit was partly used to remove this confusion. Despite this edit, the Najd section is still not good enough. It is confusing and POV oriented, to include such details of allegations of rape and islamic legal rulings regarding rape. If there is a need for the Shia POV, then someone should instead remove the contention, and instead link to the subsection : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Layla_bint_al-Minhal#Malik_ibn_Nuwayra.27s_Death. This in my opinion will alleviate the problems I have mentioned with the Najd section. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 37.191.205.220 (talk) 19:40, 13 March 2016 (UTC)

I have created the edit as I mentioned about the najd section. I also linked directly to the Layla bint al-Minha section. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 37.191.205.220 (talk) 19:49, 13 March 2016 (UTC)

Recent changes

  • The mobile web interface no longer suggests HiDPI thumbnails. This is to take up less bandwidth on slow or expensive connections. [67]
  • The search engine on wikipedia.org has been updated. [68]

Changes this week

  • Wikimedia has a new backup data center in Dallas. Because of planned work on this, you will be able to read but not edit the wikis for a short period of time on both 22 March and 24 March. This could be postponed to April 18. You might lose edits if you try to save during this time. Because of a test, there will also be a couple of minutes where you can't edit the wikis on 15 March starting 07:00 UTC. You can read more about the server work. There will be more notifications and updates about this.
  • Administrators and other users with advanced permissions will need to have an 8-byte long passwords. This change takes place on 15 March. Users with too short passwords will be asked to change password the next time they log in. This was decided in a discussion on Meta and is because they can use tools that can hurt the wikis. [69]
  • The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 15 March. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 16 March. It will be on all wikis from 17 March (calendar).

Peyton Manning and some

I agree with you. With the new refs the "some" is no longer needed. I'm not going to mention it on the talk page now though, since this particular issue has died and I'm not going to risk reopening it. Sorry, I should have said something on the page immediately after you made your sensible comment. Meters (talk) 18:43, 14 March 2016 (UTC)

Pls halp

I can't edit any pages. My user account isn't blocked, but the underlying IP (206.29.176.51) is blocked for "Disruptive editing: LTA". The block page doesn't say it's an autoblock, though, so I don't know why I'm affected (screenshot). clpo13(talk) 20:09, 19 March 2016 (UTC)

Bueller? Bueller? I emailed the blocking admin but I haven't heard back (no doubt because it's a Saturday). Editing Commons just isn't the same. clpo13(talk) 23:32, 19 March 2016 (UTC)
I have made the block anon-only, so you should be able to edit from your account. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 09:18, 20 March 2016 (UTC)

I can't understand why my link is removed brother ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.95.225.164 (talk) 20:04, 20 March 2016 (UTC)

The link you added was not suitable for an encyclopedia, per WP:ELNO (numbers 1 and 13, especially). External links should provide specific information about a subject beyond what the Wikipedia article has. A local news website doesn't qualify, I'm afraid. clpo13(talk) 20:24, 20 March 2016 (UTC)

Spityu85hun reply for TALK

hello! i update a new and fresh informations in the windows 10 mobile wiki site, one editor undo my edited fresh info. she dont read a fesh and new news for windows 10 mobile.i send reply message to editors with official news links that she read a fresh news and upgrade own information! i edited change is true not a fake!Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Spityu85hun (talk • contribs) 22:06, 20 March 2016 (UTC)

Regardless, reverting another editor to preserve your preferred version is disruptive and can be considered edit warring. The proper course of action when reverted is to discuss the changes you want to make on the article talk page and gain consensus for the change (see WP:BRD). clpo13(talk) 22:08, 20 March 2016 (UTC)

Recent vandalism by Spityu85hun on Windows 10 Mobile page

Hello, As the title says, the Windows 10 Mobile page is being vandalised by Spityu85hun. I have tried reverting his edits, sent him a message on his talk page and asked him to open a section on the article's talk page for discussion. But he reverted my reverts with aggressive comments. I do not want to go on edit warring with a fellow Wikipedian. What should I do at this point? Should I stop trying to revert his edits and wait for other editors to do it and try to explain it to him? Please help. Thanks Chandradeepdey01 (talk) 21:55, 20 March 2016 (UTC)

I would start a discussion on the article talk page, {{ping}}ing them to participate. If they don't participate and continue adding incorrect information (if that's the issue), you could bring their behavior up at WP:ANI. In any case, it's best to not revert any further. clpo13(talk) 22:01, 20 March 2016 (UTC)
Thank you for helping. Chandradeepdey01 (talk) 22:21, 20 March 2016 (UTC)

Marin Getaldić article

I've been accused that my edits to this article ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marino_Ghetaldi ) are unconstructive. That simply not true. I added new facts ( about his parents and sibilings ) and added source that confirms these facts. User Zoupan, continuously reverses my eddits for no valid reason at all. I'am from Dubrovnik. Soo I think I know about my city alot more facts than Zoupan who keeps enforcing his agenda. And that's not constructive. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zelen-oko (talk • contribs) 21:13, 22 March 2016 (UTC)

It's not about what you know, it's about what the sources say, per WP:V. I'd advise you to participate in discussion on the talk page instead of continually reverting. clpo13(talk) 21:15, 22 March 2016 (UTC)

Well that is the point. I added valid source to that page that did not had any sources at all. This is that source ( from University of Osijek ) http://www.mathos.unios.hr/~mdjumic/uploads/diplomski/VUJ36.pdf Soo that is why I'am mad. There is no reason for Zoupan to reverse my eddits. He is acting like he is the boss of entire Wikipedia. I contacted Zoupan, but he ignored all my messages. Soo that means that he does not want to discuss. I thought all the editors have equal rights. Zelen-oko (talk) 21:24, 22 March 2016 (UTC)

He is camouflaging his POV-pushing (changing of name) and adding names of siblings (trivial) as "adding a valid source". The source is present at the bottom and was never removed. The user is a sock.--Zoupan 23:50, 22 March 2016 (UTC)

Problems

  • Adding references with Citoid was broken for approximately 6 hours on 24 March. This was fixed. [77]

Changes this week

  • The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 29 March. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 30 March. It will be on all wikis from 31 March (calendar).
  • You will be able to remove the header and footer style from User language (babel) boxes. This will make it easier to use them with other userboxes. [78]

Future changes

  • Commons will soon have improved access to Wikidata's data. It will then be possible to access data about any concept on any page on Commons. Assistance with testing this on the beta cluster is appreciated. [79]
  • Wikibits.js will not be loaded by default anymore starting April 2016. Gadget and script authors should have already updated their code since the previous announcements, but there is another migration path available if needed. See wikitech-l for details.

Corrections

  • Last week Tech News said the new MediaWiki version would come to wikis from 21 March to 23 March. The right dates were 22 March to 24 March.

affirmative action change

hi, unfortunately i dont have the time at the moment to learn how the citation system of wikipedia works, i dont have the time to look for a decent source and my english isnt that great, too. i simply wanted to delete parts of the article that are complete nonsense. its nonsense because the whole paragraph is about an idea that was scrapped again right away and really has nothing to do with the german school system. this also makes it difficult to find relevant sources because of its complete irrelevance. a lottery can be used if there's not enough space at a particular, very popular school. other than that, the parents can decide what school their children will visit no matter the grades (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lehrerempfehlung). noone in germany probably even remembers anything about that discussion back in 2009 and it doesnt represent anything meaningful whatsoever. 89.13.149.69 (talk) 18:54, 2 April 2016 (UTC)
