Please, restore the article Rodrigo Silva

I have requested the restoration of the article Rodrigo Silva, because it was a very important article about a famous Brazilian archaeologist and was excluded without reasons. The article contained reliable sources, was very well described, there were no spelling errors and followed the standards and norms of Wikipedia. --DavidStarIsrael7 (talk) 18:47, 29 April 2018 (UTC)

Well, yes, but these sources either were not independent or mentioned him in passing, as noted in the deletion discussion. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 19:19, 29 April 2018 (UTC)

Now at Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2018 April 29. —Cryptic 22:27, 29 April 2018 (UTC)

Were added new reliable sources, please check it at Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2018 April 29, and restore the article. --DavidStarIsrael7 (talk) 01:16, 3 May 2018 (UTC)

According to that same page, it does not seem like the sources are actually adequate. Please consider the possibility that the topic just can't have an article and that no amount of editing can overcome a lack of notability. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 06:16, 3 May 2018 (UTC)

Lumpy Da Comedian

this page was fraudulently deleted and should be restored — Preceding unsigned comment added by Angelicasouth4u (talk • contribs) 07:12, 30 April 2018 (UTC)

There never was such a page, Angelicasouth4u. Maybe under a different name? Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 07:19, 30 April 2018 (UTC)

Darin Johnson

Darin Johnson was deleted at an AfD with little turnout. The consensus was that he was not notable because he had not played professionally. However, that has changed and he is now a professional basketball player. I request this article to be undeleted because it meets GNG now. ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs)}~ 13:51, 30 April 2018 (UTC)

OK, but it will need some work. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 16:32, 30 April 2018 (UTC)

Tech News: 2018-18

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

• The parameter for unpatrolled edits in recent changes filters changed name. You might need to update saved filters and links. [1]

Problems

• We are migrating wikis from Tidy to Remex. Because of a bug the 250 wikis which do not yet use Remex were switched on 23 April. This is two months early. This meant that pages with broken wikitext showed wrongly to readers. The bug was undone the next day. You can help fix broken wikitext to avoid this problem when your wiki switches. Tidy will be removed on all wikis before July 2018. You can follow the process on Phabricator. [2]

Changes later this week

• You will be able use CodeMirror in the 2017 wikitext editor on all wikis. CodeMirror helps with syntax highlighting. It has previously been a beta feature and only available on wikis with scripts that are written from left to right. [3]
• When an administrator blocks someone they will have a calendar they can use to choose when the block ends. This is to make it easier to pick a specific date. [4]
• You can soon turn on the Performance Inspector in the Editing section in your preferences. It shows information about the performance of pages. This could be the size of modules in the page, how many CSS selectors are defined on the page and how many are used, or the size of the images on the page. This tool is intended to help editors fix pages that load slowly. [5]
• There is a new abuse filter function called equals_to_any. You can use it to check if its first argument is equal (===) to any of the following ones. For example you can use it to check if the page's namespace is amongst a given set of values in a more compact way than you could earlier. You can read more on mediawiki.org.
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 1 May. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 2 May. It will be on all wikis from 3 May (calendar).

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 1 May at 18:30 (UTC). See how to join.
• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 2 May at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• The Wikimedia Cloud Services team is working on a new project called Toolhub. The goal is to make it easier for Wikimedians to discover software tools they can use. You can leave feedback on the talk page or email jharewikimedia.org to leave private feedback.
• All wikis with fewer than 100 high-priority linter errors in all namespaces will switch to use the Remex parsing library. This is to replace Tidy. It will happen on 2 May. Other wikis will be recommended to switch soon when they have fixed the errors that must be fixed. Wikibooks wikis with fewer than 100 high-priority linter errors in the main namespace will switch on 9 May. Tidy will be removed on all wikis before July 2018. [6][7][8]

DYK for Paniri

On 2 May 2018, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Paniri, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that as of 2009, the highest location where crustaceans had been discovered was in the crater lake of Paniri? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Paniri. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Paniri), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

File:NGS Honorable Mention Award to THFFI.jpg Deletion

You recommended deletion of this file. I responded with the reasons why it should not be deleted but you seem to have never seen my response. At least, you never reacted to my response.

Charles C. Morgan (me) is a member of the Board and the Treasurer The Hungerford Family Foundation, Inc. (THFFI). I am also the editor of The Hungerford World Tree, the Newsletter that was given the award by the National Genealogical Association (NGS).

The image that was deleted is a scan done by Charles C. Morgan (me) of the certificate given to THFFI by NGS as the winner of the NGS 2017 Family Association Newsletter Competition. As stated above, Charles C. Morgan is a Member of the Board and Treasurer of THFFI as well as the editor of the THFFI Newsletter that was given the award. Having been given to THFFI by NGS, both the certificate itself and the scanned image of that certificate are owned by THFFI and, consequently, THFFI is the copyright owner of both the certificate and the image. Charles C. Morgan, as an officer and Member of the Board of THFFI, has granted permission for use of this image on Wikipedia. Charles C. Morgan has the authority to grant that permission.

FYI, I am an attorney and have a good understanding of Intellectual Property law, including Copyright law and the facts regarding ownership rights underlying a claim to a copyright. THFFI has a rightful, unambiguous claim to the copyright of this image since the certificate was given to (transferred to, donated to, relinquished to, granted to, delivered to) THFFI without any reservation of rights by the NGS. Charles C. Morgan scanned the certificate. As an officer and member of the Board with authority to act on behalf of THFFI, Charles C. Morgan had the power to vest copyright ownership of the image in THFFI.

The NGS press release announcing the granting of the award to THFFI can be seen at this link: <href>https://www.ngsgenealogy.org/galleries/press/AWARDSOpeningSessPRFINAL210MAY2017.pdf</href>

Please undelete this image at your early convenience and authorize its use on my draft article about THFFI.

Charlie (talk) 15:36, 6 May 2018 (UTC)

@Cochituate: Well, we need proof that NGS gave the copyright to THFFI, not just an assertion. You need to confirm the ownership of the file copyright to WP:OTRS, preferably through an official e-mail. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 15:47, 6 May 2018 (UTC)

Well, as a lawyer, I KNOW that what you are saying is absolutely incorrect. You clearly have no clue about ownership rights under facts like this. Requiring me to obtain an email from NGS amounts to harassment and is imposing inappropriate administrative burdens on me and NGS. I will go get that email and try to figure out how to get it to you, but please go do some research on copyright ownership and become educated on the subject. Charlie (talk) 16:07, 6 May 2018 (UTC)
