Hi,

Wish you seasons greeting.If you remember me I am a beurocrat from mr-wikipedia and previously we had a discussion on your talk page regarding edit filters.

At mr-wikipedia we do have problem of users not giving references enough number of times other reference related issues,and we do have few filters to deal with various related issues.

This should work:

Warm regards

Lucky Diaz and the Family Jam Band

[edit]

Hello!

It appears our page Lucky Diaz and the Family Jam Band has been deleted and cites your user as the cause. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucky_Diaz_and_the_Family_Jam_Band

We were just nominated for a Latin Grammy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latin_Grammy_Awards_of_2013 and are on several other sites via Wikipedia. The fact that our site can not be linked is very stressful and needs to be fixed.

If you can please fix this or tell us how to do so- we would appreciate it very much.

All the best, Alisha Gaddis Lucky Diaz and the Family Jam Band — Preceding unsigned comment added by AGaddis13 (talk • contribs) 22:41, 1 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You are welcome to file an appeal for its restoration at WP:DRV. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 06:18, 6 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

File:Azkals logo.JPG

[edit]

So what if I nominated it again? It's not disruptive especially since the reasoning is legit! It only seem disruptive because of multiple nominations. You can go back here, where User:B was first to mention (good on him) that it failed NFCC #8 (yes it was only there that this NFCC #8 argument was first brought up), yet it was "keep"? It should have been deleted then. You can even see for yourself that it really does not meet the criteria! Whether it be this particular one or any other fan made (yes, whether you like it or not and whether you think it's relevant or not, these are fan made), there is no point/use in having it in the Philippines national football team page! All these arguments by User:Howard the Duck that this logo is legit are barely anything, if anything at all. All this, "it's been adopted by....." stuff or in that same FFD in the link above, "In the Philippines, national teams are run as if they're club teams" or whatever other random argument he brings up. He makes it seem that what he's actually saying has weight or connection to make this logo relevant/legit when in fact it has barely anything to do with it, if anything at all. Again, there are a ton of these randomly made azkal logos and all have been adopted by many random people and sites. What makes this particular logo more relevant/legit than the others when it's all the same nonsense? Where's the sources for that? Simple.... NONE! Therefore it fails the criteria for keeping.

It is disruptive precisely because of 1) the multiple nominations; 2) the fact that you have failed to bring any new arguments to any new nomination. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 01:04, 8 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

New features

VisualEditor news

  • You can now create and edit references inside media captions. [9]
  • You now need to press the "delete" key twice to delete a template, reference or image; the first time, they only become selected, to avoid accidental deletion of infoboxes and similar content. [10]
  • When you resize images, you will now still see them, and their size will also be seen in the center. [11] [12]

He figured out a way through the edit filter despite having been blocked beforehand. Except I don't know what filter was used to block him.—Ryulong (琉竜) 17:33, 22 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Tech News: 2013-43

[edit]

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

New features

  • The "Toolbox" section in the site sidebar is now called "Tools" in English. You can do the same in your language by editing the interface text on translatewiki.net. Someone else may have already done it. [15]

VisualEditor news

  • On wikis with VisualEditor, you can now use it on pages in the File, Help and Category spaces. [16]

Problems

  • On October 22 (UTC), an error in the site settings caused *.wikimedia.org sites (like Meta-Wiki and Commons) to redirect to wikimediafoundation.org for a few hours. [17]

Future

  • MediaWiki 1.23wmf1 was added to test wikis on October 24. It will arrive to non-Wikipedia wikis on October 28 and all Wikipedia wikis on October 31 (calendar).
  • In the next days, servers in San Francisco will start providing (cached) content to users located in Oceania. If you are in that area and notice problems, please tell us. [18]
  • You will soon be able to test new features easily using the "Beta Features" view. VisualEditor will be in the list on sites where it works and isn't automatically enabled. Another example is a set of changes in the article text style.
