Aloha, I see you left a edit on the Kalani Pe'a Page. Can you give me a example on how to go about sourcing citations and links for bios. Many editors keep going on the page and listing what needs to be done but don't leave much instruction. It is hard to pin point exactly what you are looking at because there is so much on this page. He has so many links it is endless. From the LA Times, Fader, Paste Magazine and on. Allanbcool (talk) 08:30, 25 January 2019 (UTC)
- Allanbcool, the simple answer is that writing articles is like math - you have to show your work. That said, the tag I left was a little over the top, and the other tags don't really seem to apply either. I've removed all the tags from the article now in favour of more specific {{citation needed}} tags. Generally speaking, the article is in pretty good shape, and you've done some fine work. Bradv🍁 13:36, 25 January 2019 (UTC)
Trying to find out why did you remove the image inside the info box? 12.208.218.195 (talk) 11:04, 31 January 2019 (UTC)
- I didn't remove the image. That was removed by a bot as a copyright violation. Bradv🍁 13:41, 31 January 2019 (UTC)
"contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia"
Hi, can you explain what you mean by that with regards to Draft:Piaoyou? Timmyshin (talk) 21:36, 27 January 2019 (UTC)
- Timmyshin, at the time I placed that tag, it was little more than a dictionary definition with a bit of original research thrown in. It looks much better now, thanks to your efforts. I don't have time for a thorough review myself, but feel free to resubmit and another reviewer will take a look. Cheers. Bradv🍁 02:05, 28 January 2019 (UTC)
- OK, thanks. Timmyshin (talk) 02:21, 28 January 2019 (UTC)

Hello everyone and welcome to the second issue of the new Wikipedia Scripts++ Newsletter:

Miscellaneous
- There was a recent village pump thread about either Enterprisey's or Equazcion's "Script Installer" tool becoming a gadget. It wasn't officially closed, and so far neither has become a gadget. Stay tuned for updates.
Lets keep up the good work! --DannyS712 (talk) 03:09, 28 January 2019 (UTC)

Possible superlinks issue
Hi! I love using your superlinks script. However, recently it seems to have been having trouble bringing up people's block logs. I checked the requests, and it looks like the script is properly requesting the block log page and getting a valid response. However, "No results" keeps on coming up. Any ideas? Enterprisey (talk!) 05:40, 3 February 2019 (UTC)
- Enterprisey, I'm not sure, but I don't use the block log feature too much myself. I plan on adding some features one of these days, so I'll do some further testing at the same time. I just got an error with reply-link while replying to this, so maybe a little tit-for-tat is in order. ;) Bradv🍁 05:44, 3 February 2019 (UTC)
- Ok, I found it - at least on my browser, there is a new form element added in between the #mw-content-text and the ul for those logs. (Maybe from the fact that I have revdel checkboxes in there now?) Changing the selector to
#mw-content-text ul(from#mw-content-text > ul) makes it start working for me. I don't think there are any other ul's floating around in there for those pages at least, so we should be fine. If the selector becomes ambiguous, that'll become obvious pretty fast and we'll know what's going on. Enterprisey (talk!) 07:04, 3 February 2019 (UTC)- Enterprisey, I changed the selector - let me know if it works for you now. Bradv🍁 14:03, 3 February 2019 (UTC)
- Works fine now, thank you! Enterprisey (talk!) 16:29, 3 February 2019 (UTC)
- Enterprisey, I changed the selector - let me know if it works for you now. Bradv🍁 14:03, 3 February 2019 (UTC)
GiantSnowman case
Hi Brad, the case notes say there are 12 arbitrators on the case. By my count, nine have contributed to the PD thus far: AGK, NYB, Katie, Silk Tork, Dave, Joe, DGG, Rick, and Doug. Who are the other three? (If the case didn't cross over 2018 to 2019, I'd be able to figure it out, but...) Thanks.--Bbb23 (talk) 14:10, 3 February 2019 (UTC)
- Bbb23, the list of arbitrators active on the case is shown on the talk page of each of the case pages. There are three active arbitrators that have not yet voted - Courcelles, OR, and PMC. Bradv🍁 14:15, 3 February 2019 (UTC)
- Another thing I didn't know.
Thanks!--Bbb23 (talk) 14:18, 3 February 2019 (UTC)
- Bbb23, you're welcome. It comes from this template, which I can only describe as magic: {{Casenav/data}} Bradv🍁 14:20, 3 February 2019 (UTC)

Administrators' newsletter – February 2019
News and updates for administrators from the past month (January 2019).
Administrator changes
Interface administrator changes
Guideline and policy news
- A request for comment is currently open to reevaluate the activity requirements for administrators.
- Administrators who are blocked have the technical ability to block the administrator who blocked their own account. A recent request for comment has amended the blocking policy to clarify that this ability should only be used in exceptional circumstances, such as account compromises, where there is a clear and immediate need.
- A request for comment closed with a consensus in favor of deprecating The Sun as a permissible reference, and creating an edit filter to warn users who attempt to cite it.
Technical news
- A discussion regarding an overhaul of the format and appearance of Wikipedia:Requests for page protection is in progress (permalink). The proposed changes will make it easier to create requests for those who are not using Twinkle. The workflow for administrators at this venue will largely be unchanged. Additionally, there are plans to archive requests similar to how it is done at WP:PERM, where historical records are kept so that prior requests can more easily be searched for.
Miscellaneous
- Voting in the 2019 Steward elections will begin on 08 February 2019, 14:00 (UTC) and end on 28 February 2019, 13:59 (UTC). The confirmation process of current stewards is being held in parallel. You can automatically check your eligibility to vote.
- A new IRC bot is available that allows you to subscribe to notifications when specific filters are tripped. This requires that your IRC handle be identified.
A cookie for you!

I love the new superlinks update! Enterprisey (talk!) 04:14, 4 February 2019 (UTC) |
- @Enterprisey: I'm glad you like it. Tell your friends. ;) Bradv🍁 05:32, 4 February 2019 (UTC)
Opps
Yes it was a stupid mistake, I would say why but it is irrelevant, if I cannot think straight I should not undo edits..Slatersteven (talk) 15:16, 5 February 2019 (UTC)
- Slatersteven, no problem. I read it over several times trying to figure out what you meant by your edit summary, and concluded you must have completely misread the edit. No worries - it's a wiki, we can fix it. ;) Bradv🍁 15:18, 5 February 2019 (UTC)
- Not really I read his edit summery which said less about his edit then it in fact contained, but could not quite put two and two together as to what the difference was.Slatersteven (talk) 15:22, 5 February 2019 (UTC)
Arbitration case
I'm not sure what is the best approach to take, but Wikipedia talk:Arbitration/Requests/Case/GiantSnowman/Proposed decision#Late comment from Amorymeltzer on remedy 3 clarification is also a threaded discussion. isaacl (talk) 17:07, 6 February 2019 (UTC)
- Isaacl, thanks. I'll keep an eye on that one too. Bradv🍁 17:11, 6 February 2019 (UTC)
- The problem with leaving threading discussion up is that others see it and think it is reasonable for other threads... Since the discussion has died down, perhaps it can be closed too, with a reminder. isaacl (talk) 17:15, 6 February 2019 (UTC)
