== Rick Shaw photo and page ==

Not sure what to do here, as I am not a tech wiz with Wiki page coding. The photograph is mine. I shot it as a self-portrait in 2011 and I have attached the appropriate copyright symbols to the Wiki page, the uploaded file, and in the metadata of the jpg file itself. I am a professional photojournalist and the photograph is mine, although anyone is free to use it. If the appropriate Wiki boxes or style is not perfect, forgive me. I followed the instructions as best I know how. Regarding the Wiki page: The page provides background and information to more than 13,000 professional photojournalists and visual editors at news organizations around the world. We are a non-profit, state-affiliated educational institution -- the University of Missouri -- and provide academic and professional development at no cost to anyone. There is no intentional pretense here -- our goal with the page is simply to provide background and supporting information for the main Pictures of the Year International page.

Seems reasonable based on the guidelines. I was looking at it from the point of view of date of last activity (1992); there was nothing for him mentioned after that date. But rereading the guidelines for the Possibly living category, I think you are right to move it to Living people. Thanks, FeanorStar7 10:23, 16 November 2013 (UTC)

Football in Australia

The article was prodded because it was created by a user following extensive discussion that Football in Australia adequately covered the topic of all the various football codes in Australia. All the links to the articles about those codes appear in the article and in the footer. There was extensive discussion about the creation of disambiguation and attempts to create one were viewed as a POV fork to push the idea regarding the name of soccer. This approach was repeatedly rejected for months. --LauraHale (talk) 16:32, 1 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Right, makes sense I guess. How would you feel about the links in the lede of Football in Australia being amended to point to the Australia-specific articles currently listed in the dab page? (So e.g. Australian rules football in Australia and Rugby league in Australia rather than Australian rules football and Rugby league respectively.) That way the article would basically fulfil the purpose of dab page (i.e. providing links to what people searching for the title might be looking for, maybe rendering the existing dab page conclusively redundant. – Arms & Hearts (talk) 14:13, 2 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

List of peace activists

Hello Arms & Hearts, and good to meet you. You've tagged a POV tag on the list of peace activists without saying why on the talk page, and so may I assure you that every entrant has been checked for "peace activism" on their own pages here. I've honed it to relevant people and articles, although additional information on some of them is needed, and I'd be glad to work with you on the page if you see needed areas of improvement. I wouldn't think references are needed on every entrant as their own pages hold the key references. Having kept good watch on the page, and fought the good fight with vandals, I feel it's a good page, but ask for your thoughts on what you see may be wrong with it except for the incompleteness of some of the entries. Thanks! Randy Kryn 3:37 9 March 2014 (UTC)

Hi Randy Kryn. sorry for doing the whole drive-by tagging thing on that article – I've been meaning to make a few changes but found it hard to find the time. I'm going to have to disagree with you on the issue of references – neither WP:V nor WP:BLP makes any exceptions for situations where facts are cited in other articles, so I don't think the fact that there are citations in the entries' own articles is enough. (I'm also pretty sure there's no specific reference for "peace activist" designation in a lot of the articles, and to include anybody in the list we really ought to have a reference saying "John Doe is a peace activist".) Ideally every entry would be cited – see List of libertarians in the United States for an example of a list of individuals that, while incomplete, is pretty comprehensively referenced. As far as WP:NPOV is concerned I was mostly struck by the frequent use of "inspiration(al)" in descriptions, which doesn't seem like a word that should be used in neutral descriptions, especially without a source. The POV concerns are more easily ironed-out than the reference issue so I'll try to have a look at that sometime soon. Hope that all makes sense! – Arms & Hearts (talk) 10:26, 9 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Every list on Wikipedia should ideally have in-line citations, but that would remove most lists or par them down to so little content that they'd be useless. You've done a commendable job citing entrants on the List of Libertarians in the United States, nice work, and I wish that could be the norm here. On the peace activist page I've added entrants and removed many from when I found the list (an editor on the talk page made the case for removal of Robert Kenney, saying he helped start the war that he then opposed which made sense), and the word "inspiration" on some entrants is mine (someone like Mohandas Gandhi, for example, did work which inspired others to continue working on his ideals and philosophy) but I can see why it wouldn't be appropriate here. I've also included nonviolent anti-war leaders within the term "peace activist", and since I've been a news and history junkie since my youth (don't bogart that Newsweek my friend, pass it over to me) I knew which pages to look under for many of those, and then transferred their names to the list. Reading and going through hundreds of other articles here (and isn't it amazing that almost every topic or name you look for on Wikipedia has an entrant, although many still don't) I culled and then studied other names, to either add or subtract them from the list, so tried to shape the list to those individuals and topics which touch on anti-war, anti-nuclear bomb, organizing for peaceful solutions to a war, and See also topics which relate to those areas. I guess I'm proud of the look and feel of the page - non-official and discouraged wikipedian traits but traits which in real-life drive most editors forward I assume - but that pride must be tempered, of course, with accuracy, available proof, and the ability to add or subtract information which proves inaccurate. Before this note gets too long, thanks for the discussion and the probable ultimate page improvement. Randy Kryn 12:15 9 March 2014 (UTC)

VisualEditor newsletter—April 2014

Since the last newsletter, the VisualEditor team has mostly worked on performance improvements, image settings, and preparation for a simplified citation template tool in its own menu.

  • In an oft-requested improvement, VisualEditor now displays red links (links to non-existent pages) in the proper color. Links to sister projects and external URLs are still the same blue as local links.
  • You can now open templates by double-clicking them or by selecting them and pressing  Return.  This also works for references, images, galleries, mathematical equations, and other "nodes".
  • VisualEditor has been disabled for pages that were created as translations of other pages using the Translate extension (common at Meta and MediaWiki.org). If a page has been marked for translation, you will see a warning if you try to edit it using VisualEditor.
  • When you try to edit protected pages with VisualEditor, the full protection notice and most recent log entry are displayed. Blocked users see the standard message for blocked users.
  • The developers fixed a bug that caused links on sub-pages to point to the wrong location.
  • The size-changing controls in the advanced settings section of the media or image dialog were simplified further. VisualEditor's media dialog supports more image display styles, like borderless images.
  • If there is not enough space on your screen to display all of the tabs (for instance, if your browser window is too narrow), the second edit tab will now fold into the drop-down menu (where the "Move" item is currently housed). On the English Wikipedia, this moves the "Edit beta" tab into the menu; on most projects, it moves the "Edit source" tab. This is only enabled in the default Vector skin, not for Monobook users. See this image for an example showing the "Edit source" and "View history" tabs after they moved into the drop-down menu.
  • After community requests, VisualEditor has been deployed as an opt-in feature at Meta and on the French Wikinews.
The drop-down menu is on the right, next to the search box.

Looking ahead:  A new, locally controlled menu of citation templates will put citations immediately in front of users. You will soon be able to see the Table of Contents while editing. Support for upright image sizes (preferred for accessibility) is being developed. In-line language setting (dir="rtl") will be offered as a Beta Feature soon. Looking further out, the developers are also working on support for viewing and editing hidden HTML comments. It will be possible to upload images to Commons from inside VisualEditor.

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 Monday, 19 May 2014 at 18:00 UTC. If you'd like to get this on your own page, subscribe at Wikipedia:VisualEditor#Newsletter for English Wikipedia only or at meta:VisualEditor/Newsletter for any project. Thank you!

It takes two to tango, so are you. Difference is, I'm restoring citations from independent source in a section called 'Candidates and campaign', and you're expunging everything on site.

You can think whatever you like so long as you're prepared to back it up. I would've thought you'd know that by now, but then again you've apparently yet to get to grips with WP:AGF or WP:NPOV, so who knows. – Arms & Hearts (talk) 16:25, 7 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Washington State Election Templates

Well, I clicked on the link to go to the nominations for deletion for the Washington State Elections templates, and there was no mention of them. I created those templates to make navigation easier. I guess when I can find a discussion, I'll be able to actually discuss it... Chadlupkes (talk) 19:37, 19 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Chadlupkes, sorry for the inconvenience. To see and contribute to the relevant discussions just go to Wikipedia:Templates for discussion#May 19. The specific discussions are also linked on the relevant template pages and in the relevant sections on your talk page, but they're all right next to each other so if you've found one you've found them all, if you see what I mean. Perhaps there was a delay in updating the main TfD page? If you're still having trouble you might need to be a little more specific. – Arms & Hearts (talk) 22:11, 19 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

VisualEditor newsletter—May 2014

Did you know?

The cite menu offers quick access to up to five citation templates.  If your wiki has enabled the "⧼visualeditor-toolbar-cite-label⧽" menu, press "⧼visualeditor-toolbar-cite-label⧽" and select the appropriate template from the menu.

Existing citations that use these templates can be edited either using the "⧼visualeditor-toolbar-cite-label⧽" tool or by selecting the reference and choosing the "⧼visualeditor-dialogbutton-reference-tooltip⧽" item in the "Insert" menu.

Read the user guide for more information.

Since the last newsletter, the VisualEditor team has mostly worked on the new citation tool, improving performance, reducing technical debt, and other infrastructure needs.

The biggest change in the last few weeks is the new citation template menu, labeled "⧼visualeditor-toolbar-cite-label⧽". The new citation menu offers a locally configurable list of citation templates on the main toolbar. It adds or opens references using the simplified template dialog that was deployed last month. This tool is in addition to the "⧼visualeditor-dialogbutton-reference-tooltip⧽" item in the "Insert" menu, and it is not displayed unless it has been configured for that wiki. To enable this tool on your wiki, see the instructions at VisualEditor/Citation tool.

Eventually, the VisualEditor team plans to add autofill features for these citations. When this long-awaited feature is created, you could add an ISBN, URL, DOI or other identifier to the citation tool, and VisualEditor would automatically fill in as much information for that source as possible. The concept drawings can be seen at mw:VisualEditor/Design/Reference Dialog, and your ideas about making referencing quick and easy are still wanted.

  • There is a new Beta Feature for setting content language and direction.  This allows editors who have opted in to use the "Language" tool in the "Insert" menu to add HTML span tags that label text with the language and as being left-to-right (LTR) or right-to-left (RTL), like this:  <span lang="en" dir="ltr">English</span>. This tool is most useful for pages whose text combines multiple languages with different directions, common on Right-to-Left wikis.
  • The tool for editing mathematics formulae in VisualEditor has been slightly updated and is now available to all users, as the "⧼math-visualeditor-mwmathinspector-title⧽" item in the "Insert" menu. It uses LaTeX like in the wikitext editor.
  • The layout of template dialogs has been changed, putting the label above the field.  Parameters are now called "fields", to avoid a technical term that many editors are unfamiliar with.
  • TemplateData has been expanded:  You can now add "suggested" parameters in TemplateData, and VisualEditor will display them in the template dialogs like required ones.  "Suggested" is recommended for parameters that are commonly used, but not actually required to make the template work.  There is also a new type for TemplateData parameters: wiki-file-name, for file names.  The template tool can now tell you if a parameter is marked as being obsolete.
  • Some templates that previously displayed strangely due to absolute CSS positioning hacks should now display correctly.
  • Several messages have changed: The notices shown when you save a page have been merged into those used in the wikitext editor, for consistency.  The message shown when you "⧼visualeditor-toolbar-cancel⧽" out of an edit is clearer. The beta dialog notice, which is shown the first time you open VisualEditor, will be hidden for logged-in users via a user preference rather than a cookie.  As a result of this change, the beta notice will show up one last time for all logged-in users on their next VisualEditor use after Thursday's upgrade.
  • Adding a category that is a redirect to another category prompts you to add the target category instead of the redirect.
  • In the "Images and media" dialog, it is no longer possible to set a redundant border for thumbnail and framed images.
  • There is a new Template Documentation Editor for TemplateData.  You can test it by editing a documentation subpage (not a template page) at Mediawiki.org: edit mw:Template:Sandbox/doc, and then click "Manage template documentation" above the wikitext edit box.  If your community would like to use this TemplateData editor at your project, please contact product manager James Forrester or file an enhancement request in Bugzilla.
  • There have been multiple small changes to the appearance:  External links are shown in the same light blue color as in MediaWiki.  This is a lighter shade of blue than the internal links.  The styling of the "Style text" (character formatting) drop-down menu has been synchronized with the recent font changes to the Vector skin.  VisualEditor dialogs, such as the "⧼visualeditor-toolbar-savedialog⧽" dialog, now use a "loading" animation of moving lines, rather than animated GIF images.  Other changes were made to the appearance upon opening a page in VisualEditor which should make the transition between reading and editing be smoother.
  • The developers merged in many minor fixes and improvements to MediaWiki interface integration (e.g., edit notices), and made VisualEditor handle Education Program pages better.
  • At the request of the community, VisualEditor has been deployed to Commons as an opt-in. It is currently available by default for 161 Wikipedia language editions and by opt-in through Beta Features at all others, as well as on several non-Wikipedia sites.

Looking ahead:  The toolbar from the PageTriage extension will no longer be visible inside VisualEditor. More buttons and icons will be accessible from the keyboard.  The "Keyboard shortcuts" link will be moved out of the "Page options" menu, into the "Help" menu. Support for upright image sizes (preferred for accessibility) and inline images is being developed. You will be able to see the Table of Contents while editing. Looking further out, the developers are also working on support for viewing and editing hidden HTML comments. VisualEditor will be available to all users on mobile devices and tablet computers. It will be possible to upload images to Commons from inside VisualEditor.

VisualEditor global newsletter—June 2014

The character formatting menu

Did you know?

The character formatting menu, or "Style text" menu lets you set bold, italic, and other text styles. "Clear formatting" removes all text styles and removes links to other pages.

Do you think that clear formatting should remove links? Are there changes you would like to see for this menu? Share your opinion at MediaWiki.org.

The user guide has information about how to use VisualEditor.

The VisualEditor team is mostly working to fix bugs, improve performance, reduce technical debt, and other infrastructure needs. You can find on Mediawiki.org weekly updates detailing recent work.

  • They have moved the "Keyboard shortcuts" link out of the "Page options" menu, into the "Help" menu. Within dialog boxes, buttons are now more accessible (via the Tab key) from the keyboard.
  • You can now see the target of the link when you click on it, without having to open the inspector.
  • The team also expanded TemplateData: You can now add a parameter type  "date" for dates and times in the ISO 8601 format, and  "boolean" for values which are true or false. Also, templates that redirect to other templates (like {{citeweb}}{{cite web}}) now get the TemplateData of their target (bug 50964). You can test TemplateData by editing mw:Template:Sandbox/doc.
  • Category: and File: pages now display their contents correctly after saving an edit (bug 65349, bug 64239)
  • They have also improved reference editing: You should no longer be able to add empty citations with VisualEditor (bug 64715), as with references. When you edit a reference, you can now empty it and click the "use an existing reference" button to replace it with another reference instead. 
  • It is now possible to edit inline images with VisualEditor. Remember that inline images cannot display captions, so existing captions get removed. Many other bugs related to images were also fixed.
  • You can now add and edit {{DISPLAYTITLE}} and __DISAMBIG__ in the "Page options" menu, rounding out the full set of page options currently planned.
  • The tool to insert special characters is now wider and simpler.

Looking ahead

The VisualEditor team has posted a draft of their goals for the next fiscal year. You can read them and suggest changes on MediaWiki.org.

The team posts details about planned work on VisualEditor's roadmap. You will soon be able to drag-and-drop text as well as images. If you drag an image to a new place, it won't let you place it in the middle of a paragraph. All dialog boxes and windows will be simplified based on user testing and feedback. The VisualEditor team plans to add autofill features for citations. Your ideas about making referencing quick and easy are still wanted. Support for upright image sizes is being developed. The designers are also working on support for viewing and editing hidden HTML comments and adding rows and columns to tables.

Supporting your wiki

Please read VisualEditor/Citation tool for information on configuring the new citation template menu, labeled "⧼visualeditor-toolbar-cite-label⧽". This menu will not appear unless it has been configured on your wiki.

If you speak a language other than English, we need your help with translating the user guide. The guide is out of date or incomplete for many languages, and what's on your wiki may not be the most recent translation. Please contact me if you need help getting started with translation work on MediaWiki.org.

VisualEditor can be made available to most non-Wikipedia projects. If your community would like to test VisualEditor, please contact product manager James Forrester or file an enhancement request in Bugzilla.

Please share your questions, suggestions, or problems by posting a note at mw:VisualEditor/Feedback or by joining the office hours on Saturday, 19 July 2014 at 21:00 UTC (daytime for the Americas and Pacific Islands) or on Thursday, 14 August 2014 at 9:00 UTC (daytime for Europe, Middle East, Asia).

Rick Shaw photo and page

Not sure what to do here, as I am not a tech wiz with Wiki page coding. The photograph is mine. I shot it as a self-portrait in 2011 and I have attached the appropriate copyright symbols to the Wiki page, the uploaded file, and in the metadata of the jpg file itself. I am a professional photojournalist and the photograph is mine, although anyone is free to use it. If the appropriate Wiki boxes or style is not perfect, forgive me. I followed the instructions as best I know how. Regarding the Wiki page: The page provides background and information to more than 13,000 professional photojournalists and visual editors at news organizations around the world. We are a non-profit, state-affiliated educational institution -- the University of Missouri -- and provide academic and professional development at no cost to anyone. There is no intentional pretense here -- our goal with the page is simply to provide background and supporting information for the main Pictures of the Year International page.
