re.: Gerard Schurmann
Hi Joseph. I have received the following e-mail from Martin Cullingford, editor and publisher of The Gramophone, regarding your suggestion that the link I used to my husband's obituary might be copyrighted. In view of Martin Cullingford's permission for me to use the link on Wikipedia, I'd be most grateful if you could reinstate the biographical details that I included for Gerard Schurmann.
Martin Cullingford <redacted>
To Gramophone <redacted>, Sarah Kirkup <redacted>, <redacted> Dear Carolyn Schurmann,
Thank you for your email. We’d be very happy with you adding a link to your husband’s obituary, so I’m not clear in what sense you shouldn’t have done. Has a link been rejected? An obituary appeared both online and in print – perhaps the best one to link to is here: https://www.gramophone.co.uk/classical-music-news/article/the-composer-gerard-schurmann-has-died
Readers of our website have to register (for free) after a certain number of pages views, but that shouldn’t affect adding this link. Please let me know how I can be of further help.
Best wishes
Martin

- See WP:Donating copyrighted materials- there's a specific and complicated way to do this. All materials are copyrighted by default, and cannot be used unless donated the correct way- this is due to Wikipedia's licencing and copyrighting. Joseph2302 (talk) 18:10, 6 January 2021 (UTC)
- In particular, Wikipedia follows the letter of the law strictly when it comes to copyright, and the US/UK (and most other countries) law is that all web text is copyrighted even if it doesn't have a copyright tag on it. As Wikipedia only accepts content that is released under a free licence that can be reused, there are specific ways to add text here, which are outlined at WP:Donating copyrighted materials. Note the copyright owner (i.e. the website themselves) would have to do one of the things mentioned there to release the text. Joseph2302 (talk) 19:32, 6 January 2021 (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
- You can choose to be reminded when you have not added an edit summary. This can be done in your preferences. This could conflict with the CAPTCHA. This has now been fixed. [1]
- You can link to specific log entries. You can get these links for example by clicking the timestamps in the log. Until now, such links to private log entries showed no entry even if you had permission to view private log entries. The links now show the entry. [2]
- Admins can use the abuse filter tool to automatically prevent bad edits. Three changes happened last week:
- The filter editing interface now shows syntax errors while you type. This is similar to JavaScript pages. It also shows a warning for regular expressions that match the empty string. New warnings will be added later. [3]
- Oversighters can now hide multiple filter log entries at once using checkboxes on Special:AbuseLog. This is how the usual revision deletion works. [4]
- When a filter matches too many actions after it has been changed it is "throttled". The most powerful actions are disabled. This is to avoid many editors getting blocked when an administrator made a mistake. The administrator will now get a notification about this "throttle".
There is a new tool to build new skins. You can also see existing skins. You can give feedback. [5]- Bots using the API no longer watch pages automatically based on account preferences. Setting the
watchlisttowatchwill still work. This is to reduce the size of the watchlist data in the database. [6] - Scribunto's file metadata now includes length. [7]
- CSS and JavaScript code pages now have link anchors to line numbers. You can use wikilinks like w:en:MediaWiki:Common.js#L-50. [8]
There was a new version of MediaWiki last week. You can read a detailed log of all 763 changes. Most of them are very small and will not affect you.
Changes later this week
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 12 January. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 13 January. It will be on all wikis from 14 January (calendar).

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Changes later this week
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 19 January. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 20 January. It will be on all wikis from 21 January (calendar).
Future changes
- The Growth team plans to add features to get more visitors to edit to more Wikipedias. You can help translating the interface.
- You will be able to read but not to edit Wikimedia Commons for a short time on 26 January at 07:00 (UTC). [9]
- MassMessage posts could be automatically timestamped in the future. This is because MassMessage senders can now send pages using MassMessage. Pages are more difficult to sign. If there are times when a MassMessage post should not be timestamped you can let the developers know.
