stop vandalising my correct edits or next time goes report!!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by ‎ 93.141.211.89 (talk • contribs)

‎ Which of your edits? The Living love talk 18:35, 27 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism and deletion of extended revisions on the Morchella dunalii page without any justification whatsoever.

Excuse me, but why have you deleted all the extended additions and revisions to the Morchella dunalii page? I have been working on this page for over two days now to bring it up to a good standard which you have all deleted without any reason whatsoever. Why? Are you an idiot?

Yes he is an idiot. He constantly reverts changes that are demonstrably false. The retard needs to be removed from Wikipedia.

Problems

  • You will be able to read but not edit the Wikimedia wikis for a few minutes on 29 June. This is planned at 14:00 UTC. [3][4]

Changes later this week

  • Recurrent item The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 29 June. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 30 June. It will be on all wikis from 1 July (calendar).

Tech News: 2021-27

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

Tech News

  • The next issue of Tech News will be sent out on 19 July.

Recent changes

  • AutoWikiBrowser is a tool to make repetitive tasks easier. It now uses JSON. Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser/CheckPage has moved to Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser/CheckPageJSON and Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser/Config. Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser/CheckPage/Version has moved to Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser/CheckPage/VersionJSON. The tool will eventually be configured on the wiki so that you don't have to wait until the new version to add templates or regular expression fixes. [7]

Problems

  • InternetArchiveBot helps saving online sources on some wikis. It adds them to Wayback Machine and links to them there. This is so they don't disappear if the page that was linked to is removed. It currently has a problem with linking to the wrong date when it moves pages from archive.is to web.archive.org. [8]

Changes later this week

  • The tool to find, add and remove templates will be updated. This is to make it easier to find and use the right templates. It will come to the first wikis on 7 July. It will come to more wikis later this year. [9][10]
  • There is no new MediaWiki version this week.

Future changes

  • Some Wikimedia wikis use Flagged Revisions or pending changes. It hides edits from new and unregistered accounts for readers until they have been patrolled. The auto review action in Flagged Revisions will no longer be logged. All old logs of auto-review will be removed. This is because it creates a lot of logs that are not very useful. [11]

Sandra Boynton revert

The reason I made that change is because with the subsequent reference in the paragraph to his doubles partner, it is unclear to have no specific mention of what type of athlete he was.

But hey, you're the Wikipedian with apparently hours a day to kill with this stuff, so you clearly know best. My days of arguing with you lot are way over. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.224.73.221 (talk • contribs)

Stop

Please stop.

Did you look at the diffs? You clearly did not read the edit summary.

I clearly pointed the Project Star Trek discussion that provided further explanation for the reference I was removing. See:

Dear Sir, WikiCleanerMan has deleted two Universities page created by me How I can request him not to delete Wikipedia pages --I love to be honest (talk) 02:27, 12 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Hari, were you not been notified about the deletion? I think you suppose to so that you get the reason why your articles got deleted. I just look at your talk page and I see a lot of deletion notifications, I don't know which one you are referring to here but you can go through them and follow up with them. The Living love talk 10:33, 13 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Revert at Pokémon UNITE

Hi M-Mustapha. Thanks for helping fight the recent vandalism at Pokémon UNITE! I'd just like to advice you to check the full history of the page you are reverting before doing so (or right after, if you ever feel reverting immediately is important). When you revert only the most recent editor, which happened here, you can help hide the previous bad faith edits, making it harder in the future to fix the article. In this case it was obvious something was still wrong, since the infobox was broken, but not checking the page's history can result in stealthy vandalism (like year of birth/death changes) to stay longer. Best regards, Isabelle 🔔 19:13, 12 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, Thanks Isabelle! The Living love talk 07:22, 13 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Creating an undeleted page in Wikipedia is simple, it only needs to pass Wikipedia notability criteria.

Entry for Stakeholder Capitalism

Hi, the article received a flag that it is biased and that it makes pronouncements without facts. I very carefully added more specific citations representing both sides. I also tried to eliminate any tone favoring one position over the other.

This is a somewhat contentious topic, as there are forces against Stakeholder Capitalism.

Hi M-Mustapha. Thank you for reviewing, accepting and publishing my AfC on Shubhashish Jha. I just came this morning to check the status of my drafts submitted for review and I was overjoyed to see it accepted.

Finding J Smith

Hello! Firstly, thank you so much for your feedback on my draft article Draft:Finding J Smith. The sources provided were from TVNZ (The listing of the show when it aired in 2003), Ngā Taonga Sound & Vision, The New Zealand Herald and NZ On Air. I am unable to find any further sources unfortunately due to the age of the show and what is now still online. I believe these sources are reliable. See sources from New Zealand here [15] Thank you again :) Appreciate any feedback. Otherwise, I can't do much with the article. This was all I could find. --ArleneHerman (talk) 21:46, 31 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

That's good, when you are done, you can resubmit again for review. The Living love talk 22:21, 31 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Cape Independence Advocacy Group

Hi, about your comment related to Cape Independence Advocacy Group keep in mind, this group operates in South Africa - you can't really expect it to have New York Times articles to reference. In terms of South African media, it points at 20 articles in South African publications (and a few smaller international). How would you set the bar in this context? 20 seems like a fairly big number. Any other advice? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Joefrog (talk • contribs)

Hi Joefrog, oh! That's not what I meant, I said that you should try and provide more reliable sources, I don't think I mentioned anything like the New York Times or others, please go back to my comments again. Best. The Living love talk 07:59, 2 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Alain Guélis Decline

Hello Mustapha, I saw that you refused my draft on the composer Alain Guélis, you certainly have good reasons, so if I greatly shortened the introduction in a much more neutral way, and that I remove the sources like youtube, by leaving only sources such as the press, the library of congress, the national library of France, and going into much less detail of musical works, do you think it could be better? thank you for your advice do not hesitate I do not have much experience. see you soon.--AMPYTRION (talk) 17:39, 1 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi AMPYTRION, thanks for contributing to Wikipedia and helping to expand the project scope. Yes, of course, that will make it better, please go ahead and make the changes and don't hesitate to resubmit again for review when you are done. By the way, I dropped a welcome note on your talkpage with some helpful links to guide you. The Living love talk 21:10, 1 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

From now on, all usages should include the full attributes, for example: <div class="mw-content-ltr" dir="ltr" lang="en"> or <div class="mw-content-rtl" dir="rtl" lang="he">. This also applies to some other HTML tags, such as span or code. You can find existing examples on your wiki that need to be updated, using the instructions at T287701.
  • Reminder: Wikimedia has migrated to the Libera Chat IRC network, from the old Freenode network. Local documentation should be updated.

Problems

  • Last week, all wikis had slow access or no access for 30 minutes. There was a problem with generating dynamic lists of articles on the Russian Wikinews, due to the bulk import of 200,000+ new articles over 3 days, which led to database problems. The problematic feature has been disabled on that wiki and developers are discussing if it can be fixed properly. [17][18]

Changes later this week

  • When adding links to a page using VisualEditor or the 2017 wikitext editor, disambiguation pages will now only appear at the bottom of search results. This is because users do not often want to link to disambiguation pages. [19]
  • Recurrent item The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 3 August. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 4 August. It will be on all wikis from 5 August (calendar).

Future changes

  • The team of the Wikipedia app for Android is working on communication in the app. The developers are working on how to talk to other editors and get notifications. You can read more. They are looking for users who want to test the plans. Any editor who has an Android phone and is willing to download the app can do this.
  • The Beta Feature for Discussion tools will be updated in the coming weeks. You will be able to subscribe to individual sections on a talk page at more wikis. You can test this now by adding ?dtenable=1 to the end of the talk page's URL (example).

God gene edit

Hi, I noticed that you corrected my edit to the God gene page. I received a message that I had edited a living person's page. While I had not added a citation, the citation required can be found on the indicated gene's own page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:C7D:4E6A:3000:30F2:8BBD:B8B0:DD07 (talk • contribs)

Fixed your talk page archiving

Hi! I took the liberty of fixing the auto-archiving settings at the top of this page. I've also moved /Archive 14 to /Archive 6 and /Archive 10 to /Archive 7, so that they're numbered correctly. I've also removed {{Archive box}}, because the archives are already linked from {{Talk header}}. Hope you don't mind! --rchard2scout (talk) 13:01, 9 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Great, thanks. The Living love talk 13:18, 9 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Stella Fakiyesi

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Stella Fakiyesi requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://www.stellafakiyesi.com/3145207-bio-cv. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Randy Wayne (biologist)

Re this edit to Randy Wayne (biologist): you restored information that had been removed claiming that the removal was "unexplained". Yet the editor who removed the material left an edit summary indicating that the material was "unnecessary". If you'll look, you'll see that the removed material is simply a list of every professor Wayne studied under at some point, whether notable or not. Moreover, the material is unsourced. This particular article has been extensively edited by a user who claims to be Wayne himself, and the autobiographical nature of the article shows. I think it best to allow this particular removal of material to stand. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 17:15, 10 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Big Brother 23 Revert

Hi, I was just wondering if there was a specific reason for this revert? Doesn't appear as blatant vandalism to me and you didn't provide an edit summary explaining what was wrong it these edits. TheDoctorWho (talk) 02:17, 16 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Tech News: 2021-33

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

Recent changes

  • You can add language links in the sidebar in the new Vector skin again. You do this by connecting the page to a Wikidata item. The new Vector skin has moved the language links but the new language selector cannot add language links yet. [23]

Problems

  • There was a problem on wikis which use the Translate extension. Translations were not updated or were replaced with the English text. The problems have been fixed. [24][25][26]

Changes later this week

  • A revision tag will soon be added to edits that add links to disambiguation pages. This is because these links are usually added by accident. The tag will allow editors to easily find the broken links and fix them. If your wiki does not like this feature, it can be hidden. [27]
  • Would you like to help improve the information about tools? Would you like to attend or help organize a small virtual meetup for your community to discuss the list of tools? Please get in touch on the Toolhub Quality Signal Sessions talk page. We are also looking for feedback from tool maintainers on some specific questions.
  • In the past, edits to any page in your user talk space ignored your mute list, e.g. sub-pages. Starting this week, this is only true for edits to your talk page. [28]
  • Recurrent item The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 17 August. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 18 August. It will be on all wikis from 19 August (calendar).

Hi, why did you revert the changes to the profile of Stephan Schimdheiny? It was all documented... Thanks

Submission declined for Aiwa

Hello you rejected my submission for the page entiled Aiwa because of non reliable sources. There are articles from mainstream medias (The Guardian, The Independent, The Observer Music Monthly or Radio France International...) I also added many references from different websites. Actually to write this contribution I looked to so many published articles using the same references , I relly can't understand why it is accepted sometimes and not for me (3rd time this article is rejected). Could you please help me to go through the process? There is a page published on french Wikipedia without references or external links and i just wanted to improve that and put on english Wikipedia. Many other articles about bands were published with same references or less than here. I'd really like to have it published before making other articles about other topics. Thanks for your help!
