Sack-tapping
Howdy, the term "sack-tapping" has come up in a personal situation where I and a friend were reported as hazing each other since one sack-tapped the other. I was trying to make it not seem as serious as the wikipedia page makes it seem, since the people trying to report our acts as hazing are using Wikipedia as their main source. If there's a way to make the act seem less extreme than the page does, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you for your help! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sacktapulous (talk • contribs) 03:28, 29 January 2014
- Hello. Thanks for your explanation, but Wikipedia is only for facts, not personal opinions. Your statement Sack tapping is a silly term... is clearly biased and does not fit well in Wikipedia. Please also read our guidelines on tone. Anyway, thanks again for your contributions to Wikipedia and hope you find Wikipedia a good place to stay!

Disambiguation link notification for February 4
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Samprati, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Ashok (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

L'equip reporting
I'm leaning towards your first instinct being right. Wikipedia shouldn't repeat rumors as a rule, and a blind source in a non-English language magazine making a pretty dramatic claim makes me nervous on BLP grounds.--Tznkai (talk) 17:05, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
- It is also paywalled.--Tznkai (talk) 17:09, 8 February 2014 (UTC)

DYK for Sphero
 | On 9 February 2014, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Sphero, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that Sphero was initially prototyped with electronics taken from a smartphone? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Sphero. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

VisualEditor Newsletter—February 2014
You can easily re-use references by going to the Insert menu, choosing "Reference", and clicking on "Use an existing reference" in the lower left corner. A list of all references, their numbers, and their ref names (if any) will be shown. You can search the list for any author, title, date, or other keyword. Read the user guide for more information.
Since the last newsletter, the VisualEditor team has worked on some small changes to the user interface, such as moving the reference item to the top of the Insert menu, as well as some minor features and fixing bugs, especially for rich copying and pasting of references.
The biggest change was the addition of more features to the image dialog, including the ability to set alignment (left, right, center), framing options (thumbnail, frame, frameless, and none), adding alt text, and defining the size manually. There is still some work to be done here, including a quick way to set the default size.
- The main priority is redesigning the reference dialog, with the goal of providing autofill features for ISBNs and URLs and streamlining the process. Current concept drawings are available at mw:VisualEditor/Design/Reference Dialog. Please share your ideas about making referencing quick and easy with the designers.
- A few bugs in the existing reference dialog were fixed. The toolbar was simplified to remove galleries and lists from the reference dialog. When you re-use references, it now correctly displays the references again, rather than just the number and name. If you paste content into a dialog that can't fit there (e.g.
==section headings==in references), it now strips out the inappropriate HTML. - You can now edit image galleries inside VisualEditor. At this time, the gallery tool is a very limited option that gives you access to the wikitext. It will see significant improvements at a later date.
- The character inserter tool in the "Insert" menu is being redesigned. Your feedback on the special character inserter is still wanted, especially if you depend on Wikipedia's character inserters for your normal editing rather than using the ones built into your computer.
- You can now see a help page about keyboard shortcuts in the page menu (three bars next to the Cancel button) (T54844).
- If you edit categories, your changes will now display correctly after saving the page (T50560).
- Saving the page should be faster now (T61660).
- Any community can ask to test a new tool to edit TemplateData by leaving a note at T53734.
Looking ahead: The link tool will tell you when you're linking to a disambiguation or redirect page. The warning about wikitext will hide itself after you remove the wikitext markup in that paragraph. Support for creating and editing redirects is in the pipeline. Looking further out, image handling will be improved, including default and upright sizes. The developers are also working on support for viewing and editing hidden HTML comments, some behavioral magic words like DISPLAYTITLE, and in-line language setting (dir="rtl").
If you have questions or suggestions for future improvements, or if you encounter problems, please let everyone know by posting a note at Wikipedia:VisualEditor/Feedback. Thank you! Whatamidoing (WMF) 04:20, 20 February 2014 (UTC)

Editor review
Hello, this is just to let you know that your editor review has been completed, one or several editors have provided their feedback on your editor review page. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia! 
Happy editing and regards, Mackey23 (talk) 06:05, 13 March 2014 (UTC)
- Much appreciated!

Hi, thanks for reverting the vandalism on that article. However, it is not necessary to give so many warnings before an AIV report is filed. Either a series of warnings ending in level 4, or a single 4im warning is appropriate. The 4im does not follow level 4, as you used it.
The IP has been blocked after I reported him. Reporting to AIV is very easy with the Twinkle ARV menu, perhaps you would like to use that instead of manual reporting. Thanks, BethNaught (talk) 13:14, 15 March 2014 (UTC)
- @BethNaught Thanks! I've always thought 4im follows 4. By the way, I reported the vandal on IRC and an admin there blocked him. Zhaofeng Li [talk... contribs...] 13:20, 15 March 2014 (UTC)
EditorReviewArchiver: Automatic processing of your editor review
This is an automated message. Your editor review is scheduled to be closed on 22 March 2014 because it will have been open for more than 30 days and inactive for more than 7 days. You can keep it open longer by posting a comment to the review page requesting more input. Adding <!--noautoarchive--> to the review page will prevent further automated actions.

VisualEditor newsletter—March 2014
The template dialog has been simplified to make it faster and easier to add parameter data. Read the user guide for more information.
Since the last newsletter, the VisualEditor team has mostly worked on changes to the template and image dialogs.
The biggest change in the last few weeks was the redesign of the template dialog. The template dialog now opens in a simplified mode that lists parameters and their descriptions. (The complex multi-item transclusion mode can be reached by clicking on "Show options" from inside the simplified template dialog.) Template parameters now have a bigger, auto-sizing input box for easier editing. With today's update, searching for template parameters will become case-insensitive, and required template parameters will display an asterisk (*) next to their edit boxes. In addition to making it quicker and easier to see everything when you edit typical templates, this work was necessary to prepare for the forthcoming simplified citation dialog. The main priority in the coming weeks is building this new citation dialog, with the ultimate goal of providing autofill features for ISBNs, URLs, DOIs and other quick-fills. This will add a new button on the toolbar, with the citation templates available picked by each wiki's community. Concept drawings can be seen at mw:VisualEditor/Design/Reference Dialog. Please share your ideas about making referencing quick and easy with the designers.
- The link tool now tells you when you're linking to a disambiguation or redirect page. Pages that exist, but are not indexed by the search engine, are treated like non-existent pages (T56361).
- Wikitext warnings will now hide when you remove wikitext from the paragraph you are editing.
- The character inserter tool in the "Insert" menu has been slightly redesigned, to introduce larger buttons. Your suggestions for more significant changes to the special character inserter are still wanted.
- The page options menu (three bars, next to the Cancel button) has expanded. You can create and edit redirect pages, set page options like
__STATICREDIRECT__,__[NO]INDEX__and__[NO]NEWEDITSECTION__, and more. New keyboard shortcuts are listed there, and include undoing the last action, clearing formatting, and showing the shortcut help window. If you switch from VisualEditor to wikitext editing, your edit will now be tagged. - It is easier to edit images. There are more options and they are explained better. If you add new images to pages, they will also be default size. You can now set image sizes to the default, if another size was previously specified. Full support for upright sizing systems, which more readily adapt image sizes to the reader's screen size, is planned.
- VisualEditor adds fake blank lines so you can put your cursor there. These "slugs" are now smaller than normal blank lines, and are animated to be different from actual blank lines.
- You can use the Ctrl+Alt+S or ⌘ Command+⌥ Option+S shortcuts to open the save window, and you can preview your edit summary when checking your changes in the save window.
- After community requests, VisualEditor has been deployed to the Interlingual Occidental Wikipedia, the Portuguese Wikibooks, and the French Wikiversity.
- Any community can ask for custom icons for their language in the character formatting menu (bold, italic, etc.) by making a request on Bugzilla or by contacting Product Manager James Forrester.
The developers apologize for a regression bug with the deployment on 6 March 2014, which caused the incorrect removal of |upright size definitions on a handful of pages on the English Wikipedia, among others. The root cause was fixed, and the broken pages were fixed soon after.
Looking ahead: Several template dialogs will become more compact. Looking further out, the developers are also working on support for viewing and editing hidden HTML comments. You will be able to see the Table of Contents change live as you edit the page, rather than it being hidden. In-line language setting (dir="rtl") may be offered to a few Wikipedias soon.
If you have questions or suggestions for future improvements, or if you encounter problems, please let everyone know by posting a note at Wikipedia:VisualEditor/Feedback or by joining the office hours on 19 April 2014 at 2000 UTC. Thank you! MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 22:44, 20 March 2014 (UTC)

Not constructive? Dear dickhead: Try to get uniformity across various articles containing references to the same person. It is YOU who is not constructive. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.216.56.1 (talk) 07:56, 26 March 2014 (UTC)
- Such comments should go to talk pages (Click on the Talk tab above the title), instead of the articles themselves. Your comments are ambiguous as well - What's the "another article"? Also, you are making personal attacks. Zhaofeng Li [talk... contribs...] 10:12, 28 March 2014 (UTC)
