Red-tagging in the Philippines

Hi. Just seeing if maybe I can get more guidance on how to improve the lead on Red-tagging in the Philippines. I know that your suggestion is to break the current text into sections and to add a lead, but in my mind the text that's already there is the lead, and I was hoping, at a later time, to add significantly longer sections - first on the etymology of the term, and then the history of its use (inlcuding a summary of Communism in the Philippines and of Authoritarianism in the Philippines), then notable incidents of red-tagging, and then maybe some statements from various organizations who have expressed concern about it. That said, I feel that everything in the current article is material that has to be briefly described in the lead. But maybe you have some more suggestions for what can be excised without leaving out important information? Thanks. - Koakaulana (talk) 04:16, 30 August 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for reaching out about this, Koakaulana. The lead should be a short section that summarizes the main points of an article and are offered for a reader to quickly see the main topic. Since there are not any sections in this article right now, it technically does not have a lead as there is only a single section. You may want to have a sentence or two as the lead and then at least two sections in the article, after which you can continue to expand it as you suggested. Let me know if that helps. --- FULBERT (talk) 17:47, 31 August 2019 (UTC)

Information icon Hello, I'm Dimsar01. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, The Fugitive (song), but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. —Dimsar01 Talk ⌚→ 14:08, 4 September 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for your message Dimsar01. I did not add content; I reverted an edit where somebody removed that content without evidence. Your revert of my revert has now re-removed what has been present in that article for some time and appears to have been removed without evidence. --- FULBERT (talk) 14:17, 4 September 2019 (UTC)
@FULBERT: It was unsourced though. So why there's a problem with its removal? —Dimsar01 Talk ⌚→ 14:19, 4 September 2019 (UTC)
I see what you mean Dimsar01. OK, leave it off given its lack of sourcing. --- FULBERT (talk) 14:25, 4 September 2019 (UTC)

Rollback granted

Hi FULBERT. After reviewing your request for "rollbacker", I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:

  • Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
  • Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
  • Rollback should never be used to edit war.
  • If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
  • Use common sense.

If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! Kevin (aka L235 · t · c) 23:12, 6 September 2019 (UTC)

Thank you, L235 for enabling this. I hope this helps me with our shared efforts toward addressing vandalism. --- FULBERT (talk) 03:30, 7 September 2019 (UTC)

LGBT rights in Poland and vandalization

Hello Fulbert,

I've created my Wikipedia account only recently, but I've been working on some Wikia projects in the past. I've been reading Wikipedia for years. I'm an Gay person from Poland, and I've decided to participate in editing LGBT rights in Poland and LGBT-free zone topics. I've noticed that there are some users in both of them, that are seemingly affiliated with groups that are activly participating in that hate, or for instance are from the US and are having ties with fundamentalist Church groups which they mention on their own user pages. These users are activly editing those topics, removing crucial information, undermining notibility of sources, etc. Their agenda is clearly not "keeping wikipedia clean" but rather bluring the image of what is really happening in Poland. You may view Talk pages for those topics, especially the LGBT rights one and see for yourself. Is there anything you could do to help us? Jackgrimm1504 (talk) 16:48, 11 September 2019 (UTC)

Jackgrimm1504, sorry to hear about this difficult news and wish I had a clear answer. However, I think it may be useful to post this to the discussion section on the LGBT+ User Group https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_LGBT%2B/Portal and see what sort of guidance and discussion we can have as a result of this topic, as the user group includes people from around the world, some of whom have faced these issues before and may have some direct counsel on how to handle them. FULBERT (talk) 20:28, 11 September 2019 (UTC)

New Page Review newsletter September-October 2019

Hello FULBERT,

Backlog

Instead of reaching a magic 300 as it once did last year, the backlog approaching 6,000 is still far too high. An effort is also needed to ensure that older unsuitable older pages at the back of the queue do not get automatically indexed for Google.

Coordinator

A proposal is taking place here to confirm a nominated user as Coordinator of NPR.

This month's refresher course

Why I Hate Speedy Deleters, a 2008 essay by long since retired Ballonman, is still as valid today. Those of us who patrol large numbers of new pages can be forgiven for making the occasional mistake while others can learn from their 'beginner' errors. Worth reading.

Deletion tags

Do bear in mind that articles in the feed showing the trash can icon (you will need to have 'Nominated for deletion' enabled for this in your filters) may have been tagged by inexperienced or non NPR rights holders using Twinkle. They require your further verification.

Paid editing

Please be sure to look for the tell-tale signs of undisclosed paid editing. Contact the creator if appropriate, and submit the issue to WP:COIN if necessary. WMF policy requires paid editors to connect to their adverts.

Subject-specific notability guidelines' (SNG). Alternatives to deletion
  • Reviewers are requested to familiarise themselves once more with notability guidelines for organisations and companies.
  • Blank-and-Redirect is a solution anchored in policy. Please consider this alternative before PRODing or CSD. Note however, that users will often revert or usurp redirects to re-create deleted articles. Do regularly patrol the redirects in the feed.
Not English
  • A common issue: Pages not in English or poor, unattributed machine translations should not reside in main space even if they are stubs. Please ensure you are familiar with WP:NPPNE. Check in Google for the language and content, and if they do have potential, tag as required, then move to draft. Modify the text of the template as appropriate before sending it.
Tools

Regular reviewers will appreciate the most recent enhancements to the New Pages Feed and features in the Curation tool, and there are still more to come. Due to the wealth of information now displayed by ORES, reviewers are strongly encouraged to use the system now rather than Twinkle; it will also correctly populate the logs.

Stub sorting, by SD0001: A new script is available for adding/removing stub tags. See User:SD0001/StubSorter.js, It features a simple HotCat-style dynamic search field. Many of the reviewers who are using it are finding it an improvement upon other available tools.

Assessment: The script at User:Evad37/rater makes the addition of Wikiproject templates extremely easy. New page creators rarely do this. Reviewers are not obliged to make these edits but they only take a few seconds. They can use the Curation message system to let the creator know what they have done.

DannyS712 bot III is now patrolling certain categories of uncontroversial redirects. Curious? Check out its patrol log.

Error message display 14-SEP-2019

To answer your question about displaying CS1 error messages, the following is taken from Help:CS1 errors: By default, Citation Style 1 and Citation Style 2 error messages are visible to all readers and maintenance messages are hidden from all readers.

To display maintenance messages in the rendered article, include the following text in your common CSS page (common.css) or your specific skin's CSS page and (skin.css).

(Note to new editors: those CSS pages are specific to you, and control your view of pages, by adding to your user account's CSS code. If you have not yet created such a page, then clicking one of the .css links above will yield a page that starts "Wikipedia does not have a user page with this exact name." Click the "Start the User:username/filename page" link, paste the text below, save the page, follow the instructions at the bottom of the new page on bypassing your browser's cache, and finally, in order to see the previously hidden maintenance messages, refresh the page you were editing earlier.) 

.mw-parser-output span.cs1-maint {display: inline;} /* display Citation Style 1 maintenance messages */

To display hidden-by-default error messages: 

.mw-parser-output span.cs1-hidden-error {display: inline;} /* display hidden Citation Style 1 error messages */

Even with this CSS installed, older pages in Wikipedia's cache may not have been updated to show these error messages even though the page is listed in one of the tracking categories. A null edit will resolve that issue.

After (error and/maintenance) messages are displayed, it might still not be easy to find them in a large article with a lot of citations. Messages can then be found by searching (with Ctrl-F) for "(help)" or "cs1".

To hide normally-displayed error messages: 

.mw-parser-output span.cs1-visible-error {display: none;} /* hide Citation Style 1 error messages */

You can personalize the display of these messages (such as changing the color), but you will need to ask someone who knows CSS or at the technical village pump if you do not understand how.

Nota bene: these CSS rules are not obeyed by Navigation popups. They also do not hide script warning messages in the Preview box that begin with "This is only a preview; your changes have not yet been saved". Regards,  Spintendo  05:43, 14 September 2019 (UTC)

Spintendo, Thanks! This is one of the things I so enjoy in working with Wikipedia editing -- there is always more to learn. --- FULBERT (talk) 22:20, 14 September 2019 (UTC)
