Wikidata weekly summary #231

You are invited to a Wednesday evening event in SF

Please join us in downtown San Francisco!
A Wikipedia panel discussion about journalism

Hi folks,

Please copy and share this on other talk pages. We would like to invite you to this month's Bay Area WikiSalon. The last Wednesday evening of every month, Wikipedia and Wikimedia enthusiasts gather at the Wikimedia Foundation lounge to collaborate, mingle, and learn about new projects and ideas.

We will have no meaty agenda this month, but we will allow a brief period for:

  • Open mic for anybody who attended WikiConference North America 2016 in San Diego last week and wants to share their takeaway
  • Question & answer
  • Open mic for announcements
  • Maybe a focus on some topical election article editing with Ben?

Or, you can grab a couch, a booth, a stool or counter and do your own thing.


Please note: You should register here, and bring a photo ID that matches your registration name. The building policy is strict on the I.D. part. This also helps us figure out how much food and drink to bring in! Feel free to stop by even if only to say a quick hello, but you might have to give us a last minute call if you forget to RSVP. Also, don't be shy about hitting us up if you have thoughts on future speakers or wiki-related activities.

For further details, please see: Wikipedia:Bay Area WikiSalon, October 2016.


PS: Mark your calendars ahead now for the last Wednesday in November, the 30th (the week after Thanksgiving), at 6 p.m. when our WikiSalon will host a super awesome top secret mystery guest mingling in our midst. We will announce specifics at the upcoming WikiSalon.


See you soon! Pete F, Ben, Stephen, Jacob, and Checkingfax | (Subscribe or Unsubscribe to this talk page notice here)

How do I report vandalism since I am not an admin?

How do I report or revert vandalism? Can revert be only done by admins? Royroxas2 (talk) 17:12, 1 November 2016 (UTC)

Hi, Royroxas2. Any editor can revert vandalism. If it is 100% vandalism you can go to the page history and "undo" the edit. If it is partial vandalism you can simply edit the vandalized portion back to the way it was and save your edit. Put "revert vandalism" in your edit summary.
If you are going to be doing a lot of vandalism work, consider installing Twinkle which gives you easy access to to notify editors that they have performed vandalism - or you can just drop a friendly note on their Talk page. You still have to revert the vandalism, but Twinkle makes it easier to notify vandals. Also, Twinkle will add some extra links in the article history for doing rollbacks of Vandalism. Be careful with performing rollbacks as it will rollback the edit in question plus it will rollback all edits made after the vandalism, if there are any.
If there is a serial or serious vandal, you can report them to: Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism. Otherwise, it is best to handle it on your own, if you are confident that it is vandalism. Do you have a link to the edit(s) in question? Hope this helps. Ping me back. Cheers! {{u|Checkingfax}} {Talk} 20:51, 5 November 2016 (UTC)
