Your handling of my article request for Gary Boone

I'm not sure I understand what that was all about. Can you explain? 73.92.193.211 (talk) 03:12, 13 September 2019 (UTC)

I have restored it, but I had put square brackets around the links to not clutter up the page. Actually, since you have a bit of experience here, you could have made a draft article here. Maybe it could be done at Draft:Gary Boone. Thanks! Nigos (talk • Contribs) 04:01, 13 September 2019 (UTC)
Why did you need to restore it? 73.92.193.211 (talk) 04:02, 13 September 2019 (UTC)
He seems to be notable. Nigos (talk • Contribs) 04:03, 13 September 2019 (UTC)
Then why did you assert I had not established notability? 73.92.193.211 (talk) 04:05, 13 September 2019 (UTC)
It was a mistake on my part. Nigos (talk • Contribs) 04:06, 13 September 2019 (UTC)
And what do we say to people when we have wronged them? 73.92.193.211 (talk) 04:08, 13 September 2019 (UTC)
Sorry on my part. Nigos (talk • Contribs)
I accept your apology. 73.92.193.211 (talk) 04:13, 13 September 2019 (UTC)
Ok. Nigos (talk • Contribs) 04:14, 13 September 2019 (UTC)

Hello Nigos and 73.92.193.211. I came across this section while looking for examples of Good Article reviews and reviewers. In my limited time editing Wikipedia, I have not seen such pleasant decorum used when there has been a disagreement. I deeply compliment you both and this encyclopedia is well served by editors with your goodness.Hu Nhu (talk) 01:47, 14 September 2019 (UTC)

STRV (company)

Hello, Nigos, I am sorry, I still don´t know how to publish or what to do for puiblishing of article STRV (company) which you commented). Can you tell me again how to do that? Link here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:STRV_(company) Thanks for patience

@Kubinius: as of now, the draft cannot be an article yet. It needs some working on, like splitting the front part with sections. You can do this by using == Your title here ==. You should also fill up the infobox on the company. You can see how to do so at {{Infobox company}}. You also need to wikify the page using [[your link here]]. Thanks!

User:superhitpower

You have tagged the userpage of this editor as being created by a sock. I am not arguing with this assessment. but cannot immediately see the evidence for it. Could you please indicate the evidence on which you base your statement? ----Anthony Bradbury"talk" 11:34, 23 September 2019 (UTC)

@Anthony Bradbury: The same person made a really similar-looking user page (User:Urdu Wikipedian), who was blocked for socking. Nigos (talk • Contribs) 11:50, 23 September 2019 (UTC)
Please look at this revision. Nigos (talk • Contribs) 11:51, 23 September 2019 (UTC)

Editing News #2 – Mobile editing and talk pages – October 2019

Read this in another language • Subscription list for this multilingual newsletter

Inside this newsletter, the Editing team talks about their work on the mobile visual editor, on the new talk pages project, and at Wikimania 2019.

Help

What talk page interactions do you remember? Is it a story about how someone helped you to learn something new? Is it a story about how someone helped you get involved in a group? Something else? Whatever your story is, we want to hear it!

Please tell us a story about how you used a talk page. Please share a link to a memorable discussion, or describe it on the talk page for this project. The team would value your examples. These examples will help everyone develop a shared understanding of what this project should support and encourage.

Talk Pages

The Talk Pages Consultation was a global consultation to define better tools for wiki communication. From February through June 2019, more than 500 volunteers on 20 wikis, across 15 languages and multiple projects, came together with members of the Foundation to create a product direction for a set of discussion tools. The Phase 2 Report of the Talk Page Consultation was published in August. It summarizes the product direction the team has started to work on, which you can read more about here: Talk Page Project project page.

The team needs and wants your help at this early stage. They are starting to develop the first idea. Please add your name to the "Getting involved" section of the project page, if you would like to hear about opportunities to participate.

Mobile visual editor

The Editing team is trying to make it simpler to edit on mobile devices. The team is changing the visual editor on mobile. If you have something to say about editing on a mobile device, please leave a message at Talk:VisualEditor on mobile.

Edit Cards

What happens when you click on a link. The new Edit Card is bigger and has more options for editing links.

Toolbar

The editing toolbar is changing in the mobile visual editor. The old system had two different toolbars. Now, all the buttons are together. Tell the team what you think about the new toolbar.
  • In September, the Editing team updated the mobile visual editor's editing toolbar. Anyone could see these changes in the mobile visual editor.
    • One toolbar: All of the editing tools are located in one toolbar. Previously, the toolbar changed when you clicked on different things.
    • New navigation: The buttons for moving forward and backward in the edit flow have changed.
    • Seamless switching: an improved workflow for switching between the visual and wikitext modes.
  • Feedback: You can try the refreshed toolbar by opening the mobile VisualEditor on a smartphone. Please post your feedback on the Toolbar feedback talk page.

Wikimania

The Editing Team attended Wikimania 2019 in Sweden. They led a session on the mobile visual editor and a session on the new talk pages project. They tested two new features in the mobile visual editor with contributors. You can read more about what the team did and learned in the team's report on Wikimania 2019.

Looking ahead

  • Talk Pages Project: The team is thinking about the first set of proposed changes. The team will be working with a few communities to pilot those changes. The best way to stay informed is by adding your username to the list on the project page: Getting involved.
  • Testing the mobile visual editor as the default: The Editing team plans to post results before the end of the calendar year. The best way to stay informed is by adding the project page to your watchlist: VisualEditor as mobile default project page.
  • Measuring the impact of Edit Cards: The Editing team hopes to share results in November. This study asks whether the project helped editors add links and citations. The best way to stay informed is by adding the project page to your watchlist: Edit Cards project page.
