About "This Book Loves You"

Hey, thanks for the advice on what to do! I'm new to Wikipedia (as you should be knowing) and I reverted the page to redirection. Also, is this page acceptable?

You're welcome! Seems to be acceptable, yes, but it should have more content before it's moved into the main/article space. Eman235/talk 12:27, 24 October 2015 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Wikipedia Guide to Deletion

Eman, I thought you would be interested to know that the Wikipedia:Guide to deletion explicitly recognizes "Delete then Redirect", stating "Redirect is a recommendation to keep the article's history but to blank the content and replace it with a redirect. Users who want to see the article's history destroyed should explicitly recommend Delete then Redirect." The Guide has incorporated such guidance regarding "Delete then Redirect" since September 2005; before that, it previously included the concept of "Delete and then re-create as Redirect". Anyone who is suggesting that "Delete and redirect" !votes and outcomes are either improper or unheard does not know our well-established AfD procedures. Moreover, anyone who suggests that there is a built-in policy preference for keeping and/or restoring article history after a consensus "delete" or "delete and redirect" AfD outcome needs to do some more reading; nowhere in either WP:Deletion policy or WP:Editing policy is such a preference for the preservation of article history (as opposed to article content -- not the same thing) actually stated. The Guide to Deletion recognizes the distinction recognizes the distinction between history and content, and the validity of an !vote to delete the history. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 06:40, 1 December 2015 (UTC)

Noted. I myself never actually opposed the use of "delete and redirect", but I have made this change to clarify matters. Eman235/talk 07:46, 1 December 2015 (UTC)

Hello Eman 235,

In reference 1 on this page, I found a bad link.

Here's the page:

Here's the bad link:

I found the article in question. Here is the good link:

New word "artToys" for new invention toys

Dear Eman,

Happy New Year!

Thanks for your contribution on editting works.

Might it be acceptable that new word "artToys" for newly invented toys? We are used to old things we are familiar with, shall we try to accept new word "artToys"?

Regards, EduToys 11:46, 3 January 2016 (UTC)

Hi, and happy New Year to you as well. I don't think accepting new words is an issue here; for one thing, Wikipedia isn't for neologisms, and for another, the article was about a company that didn't seem to meet the relevant notability guideline. The deletion log says it was deleted for advertising, which is mentioned in the two pages I linked. Eman235/talk 12:14, 3 January 2016 (UTC)

rollback

Hi Eman235. After reviewing your request for "rollbacker", I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:

• Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
• Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
• Rollback should never be used to edit war.
• If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
• Use common sense.

If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! Katie^talk 14:05, 21 February 2016 (UTC)

Thanks Katie, I'll try not to do anything stupid! Eman235/talk 19:25, 21 February 2016 (UTC)

Hi, welcome to Wikipedia. If you have a reliable source, go ahead and add it back with a citation (see this page for how to do this). Otherwise it looks like original research, which is unacceptable on Wikipedia. Thanks, Eman235/talk 01:20, 23 February 2016 (UTC)

About the contribution

Hi, I'm sorry if I wrong about give the contribution, I edit reference no.9 for https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kereta_Api_Indonesia (Indonesian reference language) because it's have died reference in reference point 9.

So with our Indonesian media site, we create the new page reference but the reference actually same from the original reference we create.

This is the original http://www.mimunmedia.com/pembangunan-kereta-api-trans-borneo/ reference we have create for reference https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kereta_Api_Indonesia in point 9 or no.9.

We glad to help improve Wikipedia become contribution — Preceding unsigned comment added by 36.85.103.38 (talk) 01:16, 23 February 2016 (UTC)

Hi, I'm very sorry, that was my mistake. I have put it back now. Thanks! Eman235/talk 01:24, 23 February 2016 (UTC)

Thank you, we hope its useful for people who need the reference, specially people from Indonesia, love wikipedia — Preceding unsigned comment added by 36.85.103.38 (talk) 01:35, 23 February 2016 (UTC)

"If you don't see sharp then you might be flat"

I'm wondering what was the purpose of the recent run of edits like this, this and this. The best reason I can think of is that you can change the symbol on a standard ASCII keyboard - is that it? Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 10:05, 23 February 2016 (UTC)

That's part of it. The other main reason is that ♭ and ♭ display differently -- the difference is especially marked with # and ♯. So it's mostly a display issue. Thanks for asking. Eman235/talk 20:21, 23 February 2016 (UTC)

I must make a few notes on that. Iran Vans Met123 (talk) 20:34, 23 February 2016 (UTC)

WikiProject X Newsletter • Issue 7

Newsletter • February 2016

This month:

One database for Wikipedia requests

Development of the extension for setting up WikiProjects, as described in the last issue of this newsletter, is currently underway. No terribly exciting news on this front.

In the meantime, we are working on a prototype for a new service we hope to announce soon. The problem: there are requests scattered all across Wikipedia, including requests for new articles and requests for improvements to existing articles. We Wikipedians are very good at coming up with lists of things to do. But once we write these lists, where do they end up? How can we make them useful for all editors—even those who do not browse the missing articles lists, or the particular WikiProjects that have lists?

Introducing Wikipedia Requests, a new tool to centralize the various lists of requests around Wikipedia. Requests will be tagged by category and WikiProject, making it easier to find requests based on what your interests are. Accompanying this service will be a bot that will let you generate reports from this database on any wiki page, including WikiProjects. This means that once a request is filed centrally, it can syndicated all throughout Wikipedia, and once it is fulfilled, it will be marked as "complete" throughout Wikipedia. The idea for this service came about when I saw that it was easy to put together to-do lists based on database queries, but it was harder to do this for human-generated requests when those requests are scattered throughout the wiki, siloed throughout several pages. This should especially be useful for WikiProjects that have overlapping interests.

The newsletter this month is fairly brief; not a lot of news, just checking in to say that we are hard at work and hope to have more for you soon.

Until next time,

VisualEditor News #1—2016

Read this in another language • Subscription list for this multilingual newsletter

Did you know?

Among experienced editors, the visual editor's table editing is one of the most popular features.

If you select the top of a column or the end of a row, you can quickly insert and remove columns and rows.

Now, you can also rearrange columns and rows. Click "Move before" or "Move after" to swap the column or row with its neighbor.

You can read and help translate the user guide, which has more information about how to use the visual editor.

Since the last newsletter, the VisualEditor Team has fixed many bugs. Their workboard is available in Phabricator. Their current priorities are improving support for Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Indic, and Han scripts, and improving the single edit tab interface.

Recent changes

You can switch from the wikitext editor to the visual editor after you start editing. This function is available to nearly all editors at most wikis except the Wiktionaries and Wikisources.

Many local feedback pages for the visual editor have been redirected to mw:VisualEditor/Feedback.

You can now re-arrange columns and rows in tables, as well as copying a row, column or any other selection of cells and pasting it in a new location.

The formula editor has two options: you can choose "Quick edit" to see and change only the LaTeX code, or "Edit" to use the full tool. The full tool offers immediate preview and an extensive list of symbols.

Future changes

The single edit tab project will combine the "Edit" and "Edit source" tabs into a single "Edit" tab. This is similar to the system already used on the mobile website. (T102398) Initially, the "Edit" tab will open whichever editing environment you used last time. Your last editing choice will be stored as an account preference for logged-in editors, and as a cookie for logged-out users. Logged-in editors will have these options in the Editing tab of Special:Preferences:

• Remember my last editor,
• Always give me the visual editor if possible,
• Always give me the source editor, and
• Show me both editor tabs.  (This is the state for people using the visual editor now.)

The visual editor uses the same search engine as Special:Search to find links and files. This search will get better at detecting typos and spelling mistakes soon. These improvements to search will appear in the visual editor as well.

The visual editor will be offered to all editors at most "Phase 6" Wikipedias during the next few months. The developers would like to know how well the visual editor works in your language. They particularly want to know whether typing in your language feels natural in the visual editor. Please post your comments and the language(s) that you tested at the feedback thread on mediawiki.org. This will affect the following languages: Japanese, Korean, Urdu, Persian, Arabic, Tamil, Marathi, Malayalam, Hindi, Bengali, Assamese, Thai, Aramaic and others.

Let's work together

• Please try out the newest version of the single edit tab on test2.wikipedia.org. You may need to restore the default preferences (at the bottom of test2wiki:Special:Preferences) to see the initial prompt for options. Were you able to find a preference setting that will work for your own editing? Did you see the large preferences dialog box when you started editing an article there?
• Can you read and type in Korean, Arabic, Japanese, Indic, or Han scripts? Language engineer David Chan needs help from people who often type in these languages. Please see the instructions at mw:VisualEditor/IME Testing#What to test if you can help. Report your results on wiki (Korean – Japanese – all languages).
• Learn how to improve the "automagical" citoid referencing system in the visual editor, by creating Zotero translators for popular sources in your language! Join the Tech Talk about "Automated citations in Wikipedia: Citoid and the technology behind it" with Sebastian Karcher on 29 February 2016.

If you aren't reading this in your favorite language, then please help us with translations! Subscribe to the Translators mailing list or contact us directly, so that we can notify you when the next issue is ready. Thanks!
