Why not check "Right Wing Politics" and then check "Left Wing Politics" and tell me that there isn't a bias. I was merely correcting for the bias. I'm happy to go the other way and write the Right Wing Politics article to more astutely reflect how they would actually characterize the movement, but you cannot pretend that the status quo is not the result of a (so far uncorrected) wikipedia bias that's a disgrace to a community only interested in making information accessible.

Why are you trying to get people banned from the Wikipedia who differ in opinion? --CheeseMasterX (talk) 08:07, 18 August 2016 (UTC)

The wording of your edit is biased. Ueutyi (talk) 08:08, 18 August 2016 (UTC)

Ok it has been re-edited and added to the criticism sector. The whole article is full of bias, and needs to be remade. --CheeseMasterX (talk) 08:40, 18 August 2016 (UTC)

Tech News: 2016-32

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Recent changes

• In notifications, the icon for Notices has been changed from a speech-bubble icon () to a tray icon () for consistency. The Alerts icon has been redesigned too. The colors have been changed for accessibility. [1]

Problems

• If you use the wikEd gadget, changes you made were not kept when you switched from the wikitext editor to the visual editor while you were editing. This has now been fixed. [2]

Changes this week

• Wikimedia search will now ignore question marks at the end of the sentences or words you use when you search. Until now the question mark was just a wildcard. [3]
• On Commons, UploadWizard will now be available on mobile, rather than just the old upload form. This should reduce the workload for the community in reviewing images. [4]
• When you edit with the visual editor a puzzle symbol tells you there is an invisible template in the article. It will now mention the name of the template. [5]
• The button to read something in another language will move for mobile users. This will happen on 9 August. [6]
• When someone mentions you and links to your user page you get a notification. You will now get a notification when you mention yourself this way. [7]
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 9 August. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 10 August. It will be on all wikis from 11 August (calendar).
• A message on Notifications panel will invite users to try Special:Notifications page. [8]

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the VisualEditor team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on August 9 at 19:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Tech News: 2016-33

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Problems

• Last week Tech News announced you will get a notification when you mention yourself the same way as if someone else had mentioned you. This caused some problems and will happen later instead. [9]
• Creating and editing links to sections on other pages on the wiki now works again in the visual editor. [10]
• For some users, cross-wiki notifications haven't been working properly. The count has been wrong when only cross-wiki notifications were present. The cross-wiki bundle has been showing only the names of wikis and not the actual notifications. This will be fixed soon. [11][12]

Changes this week

• The login session when you choose "Keep me logged in" will now last a year. Previously it was 30 days. This will happen on August 16. [13]
• Some abuse filters will have to be updated during the week. This is because a bug will be fixed. [14]
• In compact language links, two new kinds of languages will be shown in the shorter language list: Languages that are used in the article's text, and languages where the article has a badge like "featured article" or "good article". [15][16]
• The visual editor will be available by default for logged-out editors on Wikipedias that use the Arabic script. It is already default for logged-in editors. [17]
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from August 16. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from August 17. It will be on all wikis from August 18 (calendar).

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the VisualEditor team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on August 16 at 19:00 (UTC). See how to join.

• The old pageview data in the "pagecounts-raw" and "pagecounts-all-sites" files is no longer being updated. You can find the new pageview data here. This happened on August 5. [21]

• How you add text after an edit conflict might work in a different way in the future. You can test the prototype. [26]

I know right. That's why I started reviewing today (which I usually don't do). I will definitely do more tomorrow. Ueutyi (talk) 09:54, 28 August 2016 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for August 28

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Gerardo Ruiz Esparza, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Mexican (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.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 10:30, 28 August 2016 (UTC)

Johann Christian Süss

Hi

Johann Christian Süss was illegally killed by the German army after the end of WW2. Nobody was brought to justice for this. I was thinking of changing the name of the article to "the illegal killing of..." but I am not a lawyer. I haven't come across such an instance before. I think the article should remain so the matter can be expanded.

Thanks Wythy (talk) 00:51, 30 August 2016 (UTC)

Ok. Converted to AFD. Let's see how others see about this. Ueutyi (talk) 00:56, 30 August 2016 (UTC)
