Feedback request: VisualEditor special character inserter

The developers are working towards offering Wikipedia:VisualEditor to all users at about 50 Wikipedias that have complex language requirements. Many editors at these Wikipedias depend on being able to insert special characters to be able to write articles.

A special character inserter tool is available in VisualEditor now. They would like to know what you think about this tool, especially if you speak languages other than English. To try the ⧼visualeditor-specialcharacterinspector-title⧽ tool:

• If you haven’t already opted-in, then opt-in to VisualEditor by going to Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-betafeatures and choosing “VisualEditor”. Save your preferences.
• Edit any article or your user page in VisualEditor. See the mw:Help:VisualEditor/User guide for information on how to use VisualEditor.

The “insert” pulldown on the task bar of VisualEditor will lead you to the ‘⧼visualeditor-specialcharacterinspector-title⧽’ tool.

This is the ⧼visualeditor-specialcharacterinspector-title⧽ inserter. Your feedback on this tool is particularly important.

To let the developers know what you think, please leave them a message with your comments and the language(s) that you tested at the feedback thread on Mediawiki.org or here at the English Wikipedia at Wikipedia:VisualEditor/Feedback. It is really important that the developers hear from as many editors as possible. Thank you, Whatamidoing (WMF) (talk) 20:20, 22 January 2014 (UTC)

Usurpación de cuenta

Hola. Soy Canaan, de Wikipedia en español. No hablo muy bien inglés, si alguien puede ayudarme le quedaré agradecido. Me he fijado que tenía unas ediciones mías aquí, en Wikipedia inglesa, en una cuenta a mi nombre que sin embargo no me pertenece ([1]). Al parecer, se trata de la importación de mi artículo Jardinería del Barroco, realizado por User:Calliopejen1. Sin embargo, al parecer la cuenta User:Canaan ya estaba registrada, por lo que se le han asignado unas ediciones que son mías. El problema es que hasta ahora no tenía una cuenta unificada, cosa que ya he hecho, aunque la cuenta en inglés no se me ha podido asignar porque ya estaba registrada. Me gustaría saber si podría usurpar esa cuenta, ya que el que se registró nunca editó, y las ediciones actuales provienen de mi artículo en español. PD: discusión al respecto en es:wiki). Gracias.

How does one stop a malevolent troll ?

Advice please ! Though this query relates to the Spanish Wikipedia, I assume the rules are the same and anyhow English is my preferred language.

On 20 Apr 2015, I put on my Talk Page on es.wikipedia a draft article. This morning, planning to do some more work on it, I find it deleted. The perpetrator, I find, spent the whole of 20 April deleting other people's contributions, literally hundreds. How does one stop such a malevolent troll ?

PS On fr.wikipédia, I suffered another troll who deleted everything I had contributed over the years. Luckily he seems to have been stopped, because recent contributions are intact.

--Clifford Mill (talk) 10:58, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

By "deleted" I assume you mean blanked/removed, as far as I know only admins can delete pages on any Wikipedia. In that case complain to the local admins and have them block the "trolls". — Jeraphine Gryphon ^(talk) 11:15, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

Is MY being "conversant" and NOT absolutely fluent a good thing?

Hello.

QUESTION: Is being conversant, (NOT being absolutely fluent in any-single language, ...BUT being able to communicate read and write in various NON-English language"S"), ...considered a "REAL" skill?

I was born speaking English, but I studied, read and speak Russian, Japanese and (MANDARIN) Chinese, with SOME Tagalog ("Filipino"), ...AND, I have, a "splattering" of German, French and Spanish. While such skills proved useful dates, trysts and OCCASIONALLY saving my life overseas when I was in the U.S. Navy, ...yet here in the U.S. I am considered "UN"-skilled mostly because I am NOT absolutely fluent.

Feedback????

What does this have to do with Wikipedia? — Jeraphine Gryphon ^(talk) 08:38, 28 April 2015 (UTC)

French Wikipedia

I'd like to request speedy deletion of my accounts talk page on the French Wikipedia (per WP:U1 assuming that is allowed in the same manner there). Can anyone provide/point me to the appropriate template? I don't speak French, and my attempts to procure the information (such as at Wikipédia:Critères de suppression immediate) haven't been fruitful.—Godsy^(TALK_CONT) 02:40, 25 June 2015 (UTC)

Why though? And even here you're typically not allowed to delete talk pages, as the message history should be preserved and visible. On the French page you just had a welcome message, why do you need that deleted? It's best to just forget about it; I have welcome messages on the weirdest Wikipedias, it's not something to worry about. — Jeraphine Gryphon ^(talk) 14:49, 25 June 2015 (UTC)

Delete my user page in Min-nan and Hakka Wikipedia

I wanted to delete my user page in Min-nan and Hakka Wikipedia, because I found out I rarely go to those Wikipedia. The reason I created them was because these were no global user page until these days. But after several search I found out there is no page to do those thing, not even speedy deletion. How should I do?--John123521 (Talk-Contib.) RA 15:08, 26 July 2015 (UTC)
