Technical news

  • Wikimedia previously used the IRC network Freenode. However, due to changes over who controlled the network with reports of a forceful takeover by several ex-staff members, the Wikimedia IRC Group Contacts decided to move to the new Libera Chat network. It has been reported that Wikimedia related channels on Freenode have been forcibly taken over if they pointed members to Libera. There is a migration guide and Wikimedia discussions about this.

Lost Films- Tic Taw

Hi, I just wanted to dig a little more, but I thought maybe if I added a different link, it would be better? It's fine if it's not.23:50, 20 June 2021 (UTC)23:50, 20 June 2021 (UTC)23:50, 20 June 2021 (UTC)~ — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jambalaya Hut (talk • contribs)

@Jambalaya Hut: Not unless you can show that the videos are notable, and since your article about them has so far been rejected multiple times for lack of evidence of notability, I'd say no, a different link won't help. General Ization Talk 23:53, 20 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • Well, what about the IMDB article? it's not reliable, is it?

No, it isn't. See WP:IMDBREF. Please sign your edits properly with four tildes, not just three. General Ization Talk 23:59, 20 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Ok, so that's all I could find. If I find any other sources for them, I'll let you know. Sorry for any inconvenience.03:27, 21 June 2021 (UTC)03:27, 21 June 2021 (UTC)03:27, 21 June 2021 (UTC)~ — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jambalaya Hut (talk • contribs)

Emergent Biosolutions Chikungunya vaccine development

Hello General Ization. You didn't give me a chance to finish my edit. I posted a couple of sentences, then had to check another reference and you asked me what's the relevance? Emergent is developing a chikungunya vaccine and a 2-year clinical trial showed good results. I put the two sentences in on the disease to give readers a link and a very brief intro to the problem. I'm pretty new here. Did I do something wrong? Bert Bowler (talk) 15:49, 21 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Bert Bowler: Generally, you want to establish the relevance of new content at the same time you make an edit that introduces that content. No one here is a mind reader, and we don't know when -- or if -- you'll return to provide that context. Next time, I'd wait until you have all the information together before adding the content. General Ization Talk 15:52, 21 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. Good suggestion. Should I try again?Bert Bowler (talk) 15:54, 21 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
By all means. Also, I did check the NYT citation but found no mention of Emergent there; so an intro to the problem only heightened the need for clarification as to relevance. General Ization Talk 15:55, 21 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
General Ization. You are right. I used the NYT article for background on the disease only and establishing the serious problem it is becoming. I also followed the directions at the top of the "Edit Conflict" response page, re-edited and published changes only to have another "Edit Conflict" appear. Do not know what else to do and I have to sign off for now. I'll save my information and post it another day. Thanks for your interest and the clarity you provide to a new editor. Bert Bowler (talk) 16:12, 21 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Bert Bowler: Edit conflict only means that you and I, and/or someone else, were trying to save (publish) changes to the article simultaneously (or more accurately that someone else has saved changes since you started editing it), and only one set of changes can be saved at a time. I am not editing the article, so you should be able to make and save your changes. Generally when I receive an EC notice, I copy my changes to the clipboard, cancel, and try again in a few minutes. You don't need to sign off to clear the condition. General Ization Talk 16:51, 21 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
This is a good reason to not keep the editing window open while you research other changes you may want to make. More than likely, someone else will come along and make a change in the meantime, increasing the likelihood that you will encounter an edit conflict. Either publish your changes in small batches, or wait to make your changes until you have the information ready. General Ization Talk 16:58, 21 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, General Ization, appreciate the information. Working in Wikipedia can be complex; the more I experience the more competent (I hope) I get. Bert Bowler (talk) 13:42, 22 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

On Surfside article

Symonowicz is of Polish origin but his citizenship is Lithuanian, what is mentioned in the article ("As well, there is no information on when did he come to the United States from Lithuania, the country of his citizenship". Per WP:RSBLOG, blogs may be acceptable sources if the writers are professionals. In this case, Voice of Generation is one of the most well-known and professional Substack blogs. Thank you. --90.138.58.126 (talk) 15:45, 25 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

WP:RSBLOG requires that the writer be identified in order to determine their professional status for the source to be considered reliable. The source of this story is only identified in its byline by the name of the blog. Find a reliable source or omit. So far, I can find no mention of Symonowicz outside of WP:SPS, and many of the claims concerning him are highly dubious. General Ization Talk 15:54, 25 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I started an ANI regarding a user you final warned a few days ago. I'd appreciate your input. Curbon7 (talk) 11:42, 26 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Surfside collapse

Just to say thanks for all your work on this article. Every time I come back to it you seem to have made about a dozen edits! Secretlondon (talk) 22:19, 27 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Secretlondon: Three letters: OCD. (Thanks!) General Ization Talk 22:20, 27 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Did you attempt to move the probable causes at the end (in vain), or do you wait for things to calm down? Kahlores (talk) 07:38, 1 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Kahlores: I have left the Possible causes section demoted under Background, as it seemed to be working OK there for the time being, and was being frequently updated as new information emerged. Perhaps when and if updates to the section slow down we should reconsider its location. General Ization Talk 16:42, 1 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Administrators' newsletter – July 2021

News and updates for administrators from the past month (June 2021).

Guideline and policy news

  • Consensus has been reached to delete all books in the book namespace. There was rough consensus that the deleted books should still be available on request at WP:REFUND even after the namespace is removed.
  • An RfC is open to discuss the next steps following a trial which automatically applied pending changes to TFAs.

Technical news

  • IP addresses of unregistered users are to be hidden from everyone. There is a rough draft of how IP addresses may be shown to users who need to see them. This currently details allowing administrators, checkusers, stewards and those with a new usergroup to view the full IP address of unregistered users. Editors with at least 500 edits and an account over a year old will be able to see all but the end of the IP address in the proposal. The ability to see the IP addresses hidden behind the mask would be dependent on agreeing to not share the parts of the IP address they can see with those who do not have access to the same information. Accessing part of or the full IP address of a masked editor would also be logged. Comments on the draft are being welcomed at the talk page.
