Hi,

Since the discussion is already archived I make my comment here. I wanted to point out his dossier at the Dutch Wikipedia. Maybe you can use it to find more socks. Some accounts are also regristred here and some have been used. Thanks for your clear block. It saved my colleague MoiraMoira and myself a lot of time at the Dutch Wikipedia.

Translating Benjamin Moore Norman

[edit]

Hello. I see you are listed as a Spanish-to-English translator. Would you please consider translating this page? His article would be useful on the English Wikipedia, as it comes up on Thomas Affleck (planter)'s page. He published an almanac apparently. Please reply on my talkpage to let me know if and when you could do this. Thank you.Zigzig20s (talk) 10:24, 3 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Recent software changes

  • The latest version of MediaWiki (1.24wmf12) was added to test wikis and MediaWiki.org on July 3. It will be added to non-Wikipedia wikis on July 8, and to all Wikipedias on July 10 (calendar).
  • CirrusSearch was enabled on July 1 as the primary search method on 36 new wikis, including the Norwegian (no), Portuguese (pt) and Ukrainian (uk) Wikipedias. [3]

VisualEditor news

  • Saving an edit with VisualEditor will now be much faster. [8] [9]
  • You can now add a caption when you add a file to a page with VisualEditor. You can also change the file to a different one and keep the existing caption. [10] [11] [12]
  • When you switch to the Edit source tab, you are now asked to keep your changes. You no longer need to find the option in the menus. [13] [14] [15]
  • The reference tool that adds empty <ref></ref> tags is now at the bottom of the Cite menu, below references that use templates like {{Cite web}}. [16]
  • Context menus will no longer be shown over items that you can edit directly, for example formulæ. [17] [18] [19]

Future software changes

  • Starting on July 9, it will be possible to globally rename global (SUL) users. The feature was first scheduled for July 1, but was delayed due to bugs.
  • A plan to enable CirrusSearch as the primary search method on the 11 largest Wikimedia wikis has now been prepared. [20]
  • If you use references on a page, you will soon always see them at the bottom of the page, even if you forget to add the <references /> tag (or a template). [21] [22]
  • Black-and-white XCF images will soon display correctly. [23] [24]
  • Description pages of SVG files will soon always show download links for multiple resolutions (example). The links were previously shown only for SVG files in large original resolutions. [25] [26]

Problems

  • For a few hours on July 1, there were problems with uploading new files on Wikimedia Commons due to a configuration error. [29] [30]

Jeff Cannata

[edit]

Hi there!

Why did you delete Jeff Cannata wikipedia page? Jeff was the host of The Totally Rad Show, and other podcasts like Slashfilm etc. He is also actor on many TV-series: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1620503/

Jeff Cannata - Deleted Entry

[edit]

Hello, I wanted to talk about having Jeff Cannata's entry reinstated. He was a host of The Totally Rad Show, and has numerous podcasts out right now (DLC, Slashfilm, We Have Concerns, Newest Latest Best, etc). Please reconsider the deletion. Thank you. -Ryan Fox

Reinstatement Of Jeff Cannata

[edit]

Hi I noticed in a tweet from Jeff Cannata that his wiki page was deleted as he wasn't notable enough. What's the procedure for reinstating the page? He's a notable podcast host on some of the most famous cult podcast shows on the internet including The Totally Rad Show, NLB, DLC and most recently the /Filmcast which is arguably one of the most respected film review podcasts available. He's been a guest on several other notable podcasts including This Week In Tech on the Twit.TV network. He's also recently narrated an Audio-book called Travelling in Space. He also does some amateur dramatics in his spare time. The original complaint was that no secondary sources could be found, but I found this http://desertlocalnews.com/brilliant-and-inventive-comedy-at-annenberg-theatre/ without too much trouble.

I generally don't do too much editing of wiki pages unless I see a really big error as there are many more talented people out there. However, I can add much more relevant information to the page if it could be reinstated.

Kind regards

Unfortunately, the coverage must also be significant, e.g. several sentences on him. This one only mentions him twice, in passing. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 19:41, 20 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
