LGBT rights in Poland and vandalization

Hello Fulbert,

I've created my Wikipedia account only recently, but I've been working on some Wikia projects in the past. I've been reading Wikipedia for years. I'm an Gay person from Poland, and I've decided to participate in editing LGBT rights in Poland and LGBT-free zone topics. I've noticed that there are some users in both of them, that are seemingly affiliated with groups that are activly participating in that hate, or for instance are from the US and are having ties with fundamentalist Church groups which they mention on their own user pages. These users are activly editing those topics, removing crucial information, undermining notibility of sources, etc. Their agenda is clearly not "keeping wikipedia clean" but rather bluring the image of what is really happening in Poland. You may view Talk pages for those topics, especially the LGBT rights one and see for yourself. Is there anything you could do to help us? Jackgrimm1504 (talk) 16:48, 11 September 2019 (UTC)

Jackgrimm1504, sorry to hear about this difficult news and wish I had a clear answer. However, I think it may be useful to post this to the discussion section on the LGBT+ User Group https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_LGBT%2B/Portal and see what sort of guidance and discussion we can have as a result of this topic, as the user group includes people from around the world, some of whom have faced these issues before and may have some direct counsel on how to handle them.

New Page Review newsletter September-October 2019

Hello FULBERT,

Backlog

Instead of reaching a magic 300 as it once did last year, the backlog approaching 6,000 is still far too high. An effort is also needed to ensure that older unsuitable older pages at the back of the queue do not get automatically indexed for Google.

Coordinator

A proposal is taking place here to confirm a nominated user as Coordinator of NPR.

This month's refresher course

Why I Hate Speedy Deleters, a 2008 essay by long since retired Ballonman, is still as valid today. Those of us who patrol large numbers of new pages can be forgiven for making the occasional mistake while others can learn from their 'beginner' errors. Worth reading.

Deletion tags

Do bear in mind that articles in the feed showing the trash can icon (you will need to have 'Nominated for deletion' enabled for this in your filters) may have been tagged by inexperienced or non NPR rights holders using Twinkle. They require your further verification.

Paid editing

Please be sure to look for the tell-tale signs of undisclosed paid editing. Contact the creator if appropriate, and submit the issue to WP:COIN if necessary. WMF policy requires paid editors to connect to their adverts.

Subject-specific notability guidelines' (SNG). Alternatives to deletion

• Reviewers are requested to familiarise themselves once more with notability guidelines for organisations and companies.
• Blank-and-Redirect is a solution anchored in policy. Please consider this alternative before PRODing or CSD. Note however, that users will often revert or usurp redirects to re-create deleted articles. Do regularly patrol the redirects in the feed.

Not English

• A common issue: Pages not in English or poor, unattributed machine translations should not reside in main space even if they are stubs. Please ensure you are familiar with WP:NPPNE. Check in Google for the language and content, and if they do have potential, tag as required, then move to draft. Modify the text of the template as appropriate before sending it.

Tools

Regular reviewers will appreciate the most recent enhancements to the New Pages Feed and features in the Curation tool, and there are still more to come. Due to the wealth of information now displayed by ORES, reviewers are strongly encouraged to use the system now rather than Twinkle; it will also correctly populate the logs.

Stub sorting, by SD0001: A new script is available for adding/removing stub tags. See User:SD0001/StubSorter.js, It features a simple HotCat-style dynamic search field. Many of the reviewers who are using it are finding it an improvement upon other available tools.

Assessment: The script at User:Evad37/rater makes the addition of Wikiproject templates extremely easy. New page creators rarely do this. Reviewers are not obliged to make these edits but they only take a few seconds. They can use the Curation message system to let the creator know what they have done.

DannyS712 bot III is now patrolling certain categories of uncontroversial redirects. Curious? Check out its patrol log.

Go here to remove your name if you wish to opt-out of future mailings.

Week 1/Introduce Yourself/Dragonroll

Hello FULBERT,

This is Dragonroll. My name is Chu Chu. This is my second semester at New York University. I am in the Management and System Program with a concentration on Database Technology. I just learned about Wikipedia and how to use it as an editor. I have a new understanding of Wikipedia now. I believe it will be an interesting journey editing here. I cannot wait to practice and learn more about how to be a good editor. Dragonroll (talk) 17:54, 12 September 2019 (UTC)

Dragonroll, Welcome to Wikipedia, and I look forward to your edits and helping you along the way. FULBERT (talk) 23:17, 14 September 2019 (UTC)

Error message display 14-SEP-2019

To answer your question about displaying CS1 error messages, the following is taken from Help:CS1 errors: By default, Citation Style 1 and Citation Style 2 error messages are visible to all readers and maintenance messages are hidden from all readers.

To display maintenance messages in the rendered article, include the following text in your common CSS page (common.css) or your specific skin's CSS page and (skin.css).

(Note to new editors: those CSS pages are specific to you, and control your view of pages, by adding to your user account's CSS code. If you have not yet created such a page, then clicking one of the .css links above will yield a page that starts "Wikipedia does not have a user page with this exact name." Click the "Start the User:username/filename page" link, paste the text below, save the page, follow the instructions at the bottom of the new page on bypassing your browser's cache, and finally, in order to see the previously hidden maintenance messages, refresh the page you were editing earlier.)

.mw-parser-output span.cs1-maint {display: inline;} /* display Citation Style 1 maintenance messages */

To display hidden-by-default error messages:

.mw-parser-output span.cs1-hidden-error {display: inline;} /* display hidden Citation Style 1 error messages */

Even with this CSS installed, older pages in Wikipedia's cache may not have been updated to show these error messages even though the page is listed in one of the tracking categories. A null edit will resolve that issue.

After (error and/maintenance) messages are displayed, it might still not be easy to find them in a large article with a lot of citations. Messages can then be found by searching (with Ctrl-F) for "(help)" or "cs1".

To hide normally-displayed error messages:

.mw-parser-output span.cs1-visible-error {display: none;} /* hide Citation Style 1 error messages */

You can personalize the display of these messages (such as changing the color), but you will need to ask someone who knows CSS or at the technical village pump if you do not understand how.

Nota bene: these CSS rules are not obeyed by Navigation popups. They also do not hide script warning messages in the Preview box that begin with "This is only a preview; your changes have not yet been saved". Regards,  Spintendo  05:43, 14 September 2019 (UTC)

Spintendo, Thanks! This is one of the things I so enjoy in working with Wikipedia editing -- there is always more to learn. --- FULBERT (talk) 22:20, 14 September 2019 (UTC)

Week 2/ Introduce Yourself/ Jingw99

Week2/Introduction/Ygplusplus

Hello everyone, this is Yingdi Gao. I graduated from ASU and this is my second semester in NYU. I used to spend time for searching on Wikipedia and never try to edit on that. I can't wait to be a wikipedian. Ygplusplus (talk) 15:03, 14 September 2019 (UTC)
