Hello Keith.

I just commented on the investigation page. I can not believe that he is accusing me of such. My reasoning is that he is trying to get me blocked so that he could go back to the page and change it to the way he wants. I have already tried to defend myself on the investigation page, please let me know the outcome.

You can trace my IP all you want.

Thank you,

Sincerly,

Revision as of 08:38, 27 September 2020

Tech News: 2020-28

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

  • The Score extension has been disabled for now. This is because of a security issue. It will work again as soon as the security issue has been fixed. [1]

Changes later this week

  • Recurrent item The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 7 July. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 8 July. It will be on all wikis from 9 July (calendar).

Future changes

  • Abstract Wikipedia is a new Wikimedia project. It will collect language-independent information that can be easily read in different languages. It builds on Wikidata. The name is preliminary. You can read more. [2]
  • The iOS Wikipedia app developers are thinking about new experimental tools. If you use an iPhone you can help them by answering the survey.
  • Some rules for user signatures will soon be enforced. Lint errors and invalid HTML will no longer be allowed in user signatures. Nested substitution will not be allowed. A link to your user page, user talk page or user contributions will be required. You can check if your signature works with the new rules. This is because the signatures can cause problems for tools or other text on the page.

Neuroscience 20

Dear Keith D. I am not even sure this is the way to reach out to you. I am new to the Wiki world.

I have tried to update the site and be and thorough as possible. I did not know how to address ( or where to look for corrections) Now I think I am getting better at it.

Please let me know what else is needed to expedite this publication, ill do. if my email helps: its joebolanos@outlook.com Be well. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Joebolanos1 (talk • contribs) 16:56, 15 July 2020 (UTC)

Not sure on the detail of the subject but you need to address the comment of copyvio, if this has not been done, as this will cause the article to be rejected when it is reviewed. For example you indicate that "Have been exported to this article, with permission" but there is no evidence that you have this permission. You need to write the article in your own words and not copy information directly from the sources. The references need completing with details of author, publisher, date of publication, etc. Keith D (talk) 17:08, 15 July 2020 (UTC)

Hello, I did write it on my words already. That Copyvio should be gone. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Joebolanos1 (talk • contribs) 16:21, 21 July 2020 (UTC)

Please supply exact wording that you require, together with appropriate references to support the changes required. May be better to request the edit on the Seoul talk page and then the regular editors of that page will be able to insert in the information. Keith D (talk) 17:05, 18 July 2020 (UTC)

Tech News: 2020-30

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

  • A temporary fix helped wikis make their main pages more mobile friendly. This was in 2012. It has not been recommended since 2017. The mobile main page special casing stopped working 14 July. 60 wikis now have main pages that don't work well on mobile. You can see which ones, how to fix it and how to get help in Phabricator. This is the same problem that was reported in Tech News 2020/24 and 2020/26.

Problems

  • There is a problem with the interlanguage links. The interlanguage links are the links that help you find a specific page in a different language. The sorting is broken. The developers are working on a solution. [11]
  • Some users keep getting the notifications for the same event. Some of these are old events. [12]
  • Some users have trouble logging in. This is probably a browser cookie problem. The developers are working on understanding the problem. If you have trouble logging in you can see the details on Phabricator. [13]

Changes later this week

  • Recurrent item The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 21 July. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 22 July. It will be on all wikis from 23 July (calendar).

Future changes

  • There is a Printable version link. This will disappear. That is because web browsers today can create a printable version or show how it will look in print anyway. [14]

Drivetrain Systems International

Hello Keith D, while looking for misspelled words, I came across your recent edit at Drivetrain Systems International, but there was a previous entry by an IP editor that linked to Boxing career of Muhammad Ali, which I assessed as disruptive and reverted to an earlier revision. Consequently, you may wish to revisit that article. Regards. Woodlot (talk) 19:57, 21 July 2020 (UTC)

Thanks. Looks like the correction I made was in the removed text so OK. Keith D (talk) 20:00, 21 July 2020 (UTC)

Tech News: 2020-31

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 Starter kit is now available for wiki communities. This page lists technical resources, tools, and recommendations. These are essential to operate a wiki project. This is mostly useful for smaller wikis where the community has limited experience with this. [15]
  • The first features of the Desktop Improvements project are available for logged-in users on all wikis. In order to use them, uncheck Use Legacy Vector in your local or global preferences in section Skin preferences. More improvements are planned. Feedback is welcome.
  • Advanced item On multiple wikis, a UTCLiveClock gadget is available. For wikis that import the gadget directly from mediawiki.org, end users can now choose a different timezone to show instead of UTC.

Problems

  • Advanced item The deployment train for MediaWiki has been blocked this week. [16][17]
  • Translation Notification Bot was sending the same message multiple times to every translator. This has been fixed. [18]
  • Some users were receiving the same notification multiple times. This has been fixed. [19]

Changes later this week

  • Recurrent item The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from July 28. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from July 29. It will be on all wikis from JUly 30 (calendar).

Possible COI at Frithjof Schuon‎

Hi Keith, not sure if you can help out as an admin, as I'm not sure of the procedure for dealing with possible COIs. I see you made a minor edit in the middle of a lot of material added to Frithjof Schuon‎ (not a BLP) by Maude Murray (talk · contribs). In real life Maude Murray is the alleged third "wife" of the subject, and the text added is very controversial and centred around claims to be made in a forthcoming book. Thanks, Esowteric+Talk 13:20, 30 July 2020 (UTC)

I have reverted the new information as all of it is unsupported by sources and is controversial in nature. I have left the {{COI}} tag you added for now to alert others of potential problems. Keith D (talk) 13:29, 30 July 2020 (UTC)
Many thanks, Keith. Esowteric+Talk 13:31, 30 July 2020 (UTC)

I'm not the alleged third wife actually. I mean that I am not alledging to be what Im not: Frithjof Schuon did that. I just added that word myself - meaning "neither legal nor spiritual." In the text, I mention that the only legal wife, has a letter in her handwriting online, saying that two totally illegitimate marriages were proven by "irrefutable signs from heaven" Frithjof Schuon was a highly intellectual fraud, who covered his properties for nudity, sexual adventures and lying, with sublime esoteric ideas. Is there no way to let anyone know that? You've got, in effect, an article on Wikipedia, endorsing a fraud. The article is what's biased, not me! He belittled the Quran, the Sunnah and the Shariah...and all revelations, claiming to be above them. A great, living scholar proves exactly what I concluded, while knowing nothing of his true biography. Wikipedia deletes or belittles all critics. Maude Murray (talk) 15:08, 30 July 2020 (UTC)

What's a COI? 

Maude Murray (talk) 15:48, 30 July 2020 (UTC)
Conflict of interest - see WP:CIO Keith D (talk) 15:51, 30 July 2020 (UTC)

Oh...my sources: you want sources? How can I mention articles online? I cannot give links: may I give the titles of sources so anyone can find them? For example, quotations contrary to his position are on a pave in my site. Instead of giving the address of the site, may I give the title? There are photographs of letters and paintings on another site: may I mention the title without the link? You've got a real cover-up text now. That man was a megalomaniac, hiding in the highest doctrines. I can quote scholars: you want that instead of my talking? They reach exactly the same conclusion. Maude Murray (talk) 16:00, 30 July 2020 (UTC)

As I said in reply to you on my user talk page: Hi Maude, I'm really sorry that you are in this position, but it's not a matter of sending the materials to an individual editor: the materials need to be verifiable by anyone viewing the article, whether editors or readers. So you have to provide inline citations / references for all significant facts added to the article. The citations need to point to reliable, independent sources, which can be newspaper items (global, national, regional or even local papers), radio or television, web pages or online documents (eg PDFs), magazine articles, journals, or books. Note that self-published materials are not reliable secondary sources. Also, since you have a conflict of interest, you would need to suggest changes on the article's talk page, rather than making changes yourself. Again, I appreciate your situation, and I'm sorry that I can't be of more help.
Once your book is published, if it's reviewed in reliable, secondary sources (eg mainstream media), then you could probably use the content of those reviews to suggest additions to the Wikipedia article. Esowteric+Talk 16:03, 30 July 2020 (UTC)
Sounds like you are trying to hide something if you are unwilling to give links. You should give sufficient to enable someone else to find the source, if it is an on-line source then it will need a web-address of the page in question and publisher details, for books and other published sources then the ISBN or other details, such as the publisher, date of publication, etc. They would also have to be reliable sources as shown in the link.

Tech News: 2020-32

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

Problems

  • All queries to the Wikidata Query Service failed between 17:50 and 17:59 UTC on Thursday 23 July. Some queries failed during a longer period. [20]
  • Interlanguage links were ordered incorrectly for the past few weeks. This problem was also mentioned in Tech News two weeks ago. The problem is now fixed. [21]
  • There is a problem with the global preferences for the "Use Legacy Vector" option. Developers are working on fixing it. [22]
  • A bug in the Wikibase extension had disabled the "move" and "create" types of protection in the main (Gallery) namespace on Wikimedia Commons. New protections could not be added, and existing protections were not enforced, allowing some page moves and page creations that should not have been possible. This has now been fixed. [23]

Changes later this week

  • The video player will change to be simpler and more modern. This week, the current beta feature will become the video player for everyone on most non-Wikipedia wikis. The old player will be removed. [24]
  • Users' global.js and global.css pages will now also be loaded on the mobile site. You can read documentation for how to avoid applying styles to the mobile skin. [25]
  • Advanced item In the MonoBook skin, the searchGoButton identifier is now searchButton. This may affect CSS and JS gadgets. Migration instructions can be found in T255953. This was previously mentioned in issue 27.
  • Advanced item Bot operators can use Pywikibot to regularly archive discussions. The behavior when the bot uses counter to prevent large archives was changed. [26]
  • Recurrent item The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from August 4. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from August 5. It will be on all wikis from August 6 (calendar).

Recent changes

  • FileImporter and FileExporter became standard features on all Wikis during the first week of August. They help you transfer files from local wikis to Wikimedia Commons with the original file information and history intact. [27]

Problems

  • The mobile skin displays a message at the bottom of the page about who edited last. This message showed raw wikitext. This has now been fixed. Some messages in Structured Discussions and content translation may still appear as raw wikitext. Developers are working on it. [28]

Changes later this week

  • Recurrent item The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from August 11. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from August 12. It will be on all wikis from August 13 (calendar).

Future changes

  • All wikis will be read-only for a few minutes on September 1. This is planned between 13:30 and 15:30 UTC. More information will be published in Tech News and will also be posted on individual wikis in the coming weeks. [29][30]

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

  • If you revert an edit using the undo link your edit is marked with an undo tag. This will now only happen if you don't change anything in the edit window before publishing the undo. This is to keep users from marking edits as undos when they actually do something else. [31]
  • The new OOUI version will not work with Internet Explorer 8. This means the wikis will look strange and not work well in Internet Explorer 8. This was reported in Tech/News/2020/17. This is because keeping the wikis working with very old browsers creates other problems. [32]

Changes later this week

  • Recurrent item The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 18 August. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 19 August. It will be on all wikis from 20 August (calendar).

Future changes

  • All wikis will be read-only for a few minutes on September 1. This is planned between 13:30 and 15:30 UTC. More information will be published in Tech News and will also be posted on individual wikis next week. This is a reminder. You can help by translating the announcement message. [33][34]

Changes later this week

  • Normally pages can be moved to a title that has no existing page yet or to a page that has only one revision, which is a redirect to the page to be moved. A new user right allows editors to move pages over one-revision pages that redirect to anywhere. [37]
  • Recurrent item The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 8 September. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 9 September. It will be on all wikis from 10 September (calendar).
  • Advanced item All MediaWiki API modules will now use watchlist instead of watch. This was inconsistent before. [38]

Future changes

  • The Wikipedia Android app team might work on patrolling tools in the future. You can let them know what tools would be useful for you or for less experienced patrollers. See the page on mediawiki.org.
  • OTRS will be updated to a new version. This will probably take around two days. OTRS agents will not have access to the system during these days. Emails that come in during the update will be delivered when the update is done. The plan is to start around 08:00 UTC on 14 September. This could change. [39]
  • The Wikipedia Android app will send push notifications if users want them. This could help you see for example when someone wrote on your talk page or your edit was reverted. This will need Google Play Services to work. It will also be possible to get the app without Google Play Services but push notifications will not work. Google Play Services is also used to make the app work for Android 4.4 users. [40][41]
  • Advanced item Wikimedia code review could move to GitLab. It would be hosted on Wikimedia servers. You can take part in the consultation.
  • Advanced item Dropdown menus in the Vector skin use a .menu class. This will not work in the future. Scripts can use nav ul instead. .vectorTabs and .vectorMenu will also not work. Some scripts need to be updated. You can read more in Phabricator.

Linked to other wikipedia

Hello Keith D, Could you help me link these 2 articles to the Spanish language

Hello, I have linked the first one to es:Caja de Seguro Social, the second one is a bit problematic I think it should be linked to es:Salud en Panamá but that is already linked to Health in Panama. Is there another article in Spanish for this one to link to? Or may be a merge here of Healthcare in Panama and Health in Panama? Keith D (talk) 09:36, 21 September 2020 (UTC)
Thanks should be Salud en Panamá. It was a bit difficult to translate this article but I succeeded, I hope it is quite useful in enwiki. Regards Verzuzv (talk) 12:40, 21 September 2020 (UTC)
OK, I have linked Healthcare in Panama to es:Salud en Panamá and removed the link that was on Health in Panama. Keith D (talk) 16:49, 21 September 2020 (UTC)

Potential vandal on the Shenyang WS-10 Page

Hello Keith.

Please look into Shenyang WS-10 page. There is this user: RovingPersonalityConstruct

He keeps deleting credible sources and adding his own source, although his own source goes against his intended will.

Thank you, — Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.72.222.15 (talk • contribs) 01:39, 25 September 2020 (UTC)

Hello I have had a quick look but I have no knowledge of the subject to evaluate if any of the sources are reliable or not. They appear to have some knowledge of the subject and have been editing it for a time. If you cannot get anywhere on the article talk page the you could try WP:ANI to see if any other admins have any background to make a judgement on this. Sorry if this is not very helpful.

Thank you Keith. This guy RovingPersonalityConstruct keeps removing sourced materials including the source themselves. He tried to use his own sources to proving his claims only ended up conflicting himself and hel removed his own source.

Today, I added more creditable information about the engine and provided source. He simply removed them all including the source. He is behavior proved to be disruptive, could you please warn him.

Please revert his vandalism and protect the page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.72.222.15 (talk) 04:36, 26 September 2020 (UTC)

Please take a look at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Shulinjiang where the user has started a sockpuppet thread about your IP address, comment there if necessary. Cannot really act on this with this active. Keith D (talk) 09:48, 26 September 2020 (UTC)

Thank you Keith. I really have no idea what sockpuppet even mean. I guess that RovingPersonalityConstruct is under stress and have a hard time winning a debate. I never removed any of his source contents. I even started a talk page and tried to reason with him. We can not come to a conclusion where he keeps deleting sourced materials.

I rest my case.

Hello Keith.

I just commented on the investigation page. I can not believe that he is accusing me of such. My reasoning is that he is trying to get me blocked so that he could go back to the page and change it to the way he wants. I have already tried to defend myself on the investigation page, please let me know the outcome.

You can trace my IP all you want.

Thank you,

Sincerly,
