A page you created has been nominated for deletion as an attack page, according to section G10 of the criteria for speedy deletion.

Do not create pages that attack, threaten, or disparage their subject or any other entity. Attack pages and files are not tolerated by Wikipedia, and users who create or add such material may be blocked from editing. - CHAMPION (talk) (contributions) (logs) 07:38, 28 May 2017 (UTC)

not an attack page.

How was my user page an attack page in any way? How did I threaten or even dislike Donald Trump in any way? I wrote the explanation that It's based on an inside joke, but deleting non-threatening account pages and then THREATENING me with blocking is kind of ironic. Donald Trung (talk) 13:36, 28 May 2017 (UTC) 

in It's entirety:

"G10. Pages that disparage, threaten, intimidate, or harass their subject or some other entity, and serve no other purpose

Shortcut: WP:G10 Main page: Wikipedia:Attack page Examples of "attack pages" may include libel, legal threats, material intended purely to harass or intimidate a person or biographical material about a living person that is entirely negative in tone and unsourced. These pages should be speedily deleted when there is no neutral version in the page history to revert to. Both the page title and page content may be taken into account in assessing an attack. Articles about living people deleted under this criterion should not be restored or recreated by any editor until the biographical article standards are met. Redirects from plausible search terms are not eligible under this criterion. For example, a term used on the target page to refer to its subject is often a plausible redirect – see Wikipedia:RNEUTRAL."

There is not a single thing on this list that my account page could've been considered guilty of, it didn't attack him, I don't even hate Donald Trump, I literally stayed at one of his hotels once, and my friends joke that I'm his cousin because our names sound so similar (I live and work in Australia and adopted the name "Donald" back in 1992 and I've been joked about being related to Donald Trump a couple of years after. It's like saying that if your name is King, and you joke about being a relative of Stephen King that your threatening Stephen King, how is that rational in anyone's mind?

In case Mr. delete-happy will censor me again. Donald Trung (talk) 13:42, 28 May 2017 (UTC)

What inspired Larry Sanger to make Wikipedia?

It is a bit stretching the facts according to Larry Sanger's NPOV to even call Jimbo the co-founder. Wales did not create Wikipedia and he was busy with other projects including Bomis. Wales was in the background and very hands-off. The only reason he is called the co-founder because he spoke to the media about Wikipedia. He was the public face of Wikipedia. Bomis paid for it not Wales. Bomis was founded by Jimmy Wales, Tim Shell, Michael Davis, and Tim Shell. They contributed to paying for Nupedia and Wikipedia. Larry Sanger is also the co-founder of Nupedia. The idea that anyone can edit Wikpedia was not even Wales' idea. Sanger took a blank canvas and created the most critical policies editors continue to cite. Jimmy Wales, Tim Shell, Michael Davis, and Tim Shell lost potential billions for not knowing how to profit from Wikipedia. Wales' idea was to make money from an online encyclopedia called Nupedia. We are here today because Bomis failed to turn a profit and because Sanger created and pushed the policies that made Wikipedia possible. Larry Sanger created Wikipedia.

Ryukyuan mon

Hello! Thank you for writing Ryukyuan mon. I've recently edited it to fix grammar and wiki markup. What got you interested in the subject, if I may ask? ミーラー強斗武 (StG88ぬ会話) 07:23, 10 June 2017 (UTC)

Can you crop this image?

A Xuān Tǒng Tōng Bǎo (宣統通寶) coin, the last cast cash coinage produced by the Qing dynasty.

@Donald Trung: I want to use this image in Qing dynasty coinage for the list, but it should be cropped. --1.55.180.128 (talk) 14:06, 13 July 2017 (UTC)

    • Make the Special:ConstraintReport easier to understand (phab:T188728)
    • Work on a Lua function which checks if an item is a subclass of or instance of another item (phab:T179155)
    • Started deleting old autopatrolled from the loggin table (phab:T190447, phab:T184791)
    • More work on setting up permissions for Lexeme (phab:T189480)
    • Fixing a bug about removing the last Lemma (phab:T189185)
    • Disabling the possibility to move a Lexeme (phab:T189481)

Tech News: 2018-15

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

  • Some pages have templates that describe problems with that article. There is now more information for mobile readers and what is wrong with the article and how they could help fix it. [1]
  • You can now thank users for many more actions than edits to a page. This was one of the top ten requests in the Wishlist Survey last year. [2]
  • The sort order of categories will have errors for a short time starting Monday 9 April (UTC). We are upgrading versions of an internationalisation library (ICU) and using a script to update the database. This will take between a few hours and a few days depending on wiki size. You can read more details. [3]
  • Tag filter titles will now work better on wikis where the tag filter title is in a language that is written in another direction than the language of that wiki. This could for example be an English title (written from left to right) on a Hebrew or an Arabic wiki (written from right to left). [4]

Problems

  • The bookmark icon for saved filters on the recent changes page disappeared because of new icon changes. This has now been fixed. [5]
  • For a week in March rollbacks got both the rollback and the undo tag on the recent changes page and other pages where you see tags. This has now been fixed. [6]

Changes later this week

  • Recurrent item The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 10 April. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 11 April. It will be on all wikis from 12 April (calendar).
  • Patrolled edits now have three states instead of two. Recent changes filters are updated to show unpatrolled, autopatrolled and manually patrolled edits. [7]

Meetings

  • Recurrent item You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 10 April at 18:30 (UTC). See how to join.
  • Recurrent item Advanced item You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 11 April at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Changes later this week

  • Profiling statistics for an abuse filter tell how often edits match the filter. The statistics for the abuse filters were reset after 10000 actions. Wikis can now decide to reset it more or less often. They can file a phabricator task to do so. [8]
  • Advanced item Abuse filters will now treat integers and floats more precisely. For example, 5/2 was rounded down to 2 but will now be 2.5 and 2*4 will be the integer 8 and not the floating-point number 8.0. Division values are the only ones changed. For the rest only strict comparisons (=== and !==) will be affected leaving the values unchanged. [9][10]
  • Recurrent item The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 17 April. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 18 April. It will be on all wikis from 19 April (calendar).

  • The icons in the 2010 wikitext editor have changed. [13]
  • The visual editor and the 2017 wikitext ask you to write an edit summary after you press Publish. This button now also shows an ellipsis. This is to show that pressing Publish is not the last step. [14]

Changes later this week

Future changes

  • <mapframe> will come to most Wikipedias in May. This means that you can put interactive maps in the articles. Nine Wikipedias that use a strict version of flagged revisions will not get this feature in May. [15]
  • The rollback function could change. This was a German community request. All editors with rollback rights can leave feedback on the proposed solution. The last day to leave feedback is 4 May (UTC).
