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?
African Popular Music
You're a Nigerian? So am I! Do you know of any Nigerian music genres to add to the template Genres of African Popular Music?
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)
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.
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)
- 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)
Merci beaucoup Mustapha ! je vais regarder ça avec attention et je vais essayer d'aller dans ce sens. bien à vous
AMPYTRION (talk) 08:17, 2 August 2021 (UTC) Hello Mustapha, I reviewed my draft on the composer Alain Guélis, I shortened a lot, used a much more neutral tone, much less advertising, I removed the youtube links and left only references, but I am waiting for your precious advices.--AMPYTRION (talk) 19:13, 18 August 2021 (UTC)
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)

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.

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
- You can read but not edit 17 wikis for a few minutes on 10 August. This is planned at 05:00 UTC. This is because of work on the database. [1]
Changes later this week
- The Wikimania Hackathon will take place remotely on 13 August, starting at 5:00 UTC, for 24 hours. You can participate in many ways. You can still propose projects and sessions.
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 10 August. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 11 August. It will be on all wikis from 12 August (calendar).
- The old CSS
<div class="visualClear"></div>

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)
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)
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. [4]
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. [5][6][7]
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. [8]
- 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. [9]
- 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).

Revert on Stephen Schimdheiny page
Hi, why did you revert the changes to the profile of Stephan Schimdheiny? It was all documented... Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.176.32.146 (talk • contribs)
- @195.176.32.146: If that is, then add them with a reliable citation and not at the section heading. The Living love talk 13:02, 23 August 2021 (UTC)
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!
Naufalle Al Wahab (talk)
11:52, 23 August 2021 (UTC)
- Hi Naufalle Al Wahab, the article depends largely on primary sources, that's why all the declines are almost the same although they are from different reviewers. I think you can improve the page by providing reliable independent sources that are not connected with the subject. And regarding what you see in another place, that is not English Wikipedia, absolutely I have no clue as to why they are there and not here! I hope this helps. The Living love talk 17:10, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
Hi M-Mustapha thanks for getting back to me and sorry for the delay between your answer and mine. I am surprised about this sources problem as what I used in the article is not connected with the subject at all and can be considered as independent and reliable sources as The Guardian, The Independent... These sources are general newspapers. I went to the reliable independent sources page and I don't really understand why my sources are not considered as reliables...
Thanks again for your help and I hope a reviewer can have an eye on this and encourage me to improve it and let it published.

- A majority of Wikipedias now have access to the Growth features. The Growth team has published an FAQ page about the features. This translatable FAQ covers the description of the features, how to use them, how to change the configuration, and more.
Problems
- All wikis will be read-only for a few minutes on 14 September. This is planned at 14:00 UTC. [17]
Changes later this week
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 14 September. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 15 September. It will be on all wikis from 16 September (calendar).
- Starting this week, Wikipedia in Italian will receive weekly software updates on Wednesdays. It used to receive the updates on Thursdays. Due to this change, bugs will be noticed and fixed sooner. [18]
- 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. [19]
- The syntax highlight tool marks up code with different colours. It now can highlight 23 new code languages. Additionally,
golang
can now be used as an alias for the Go programming language, and a specialoutput
mode has been added to show a program's output. [20][21]

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
- Growth features are now deployed to almost all Wikipedias. For the majority of small Wikipedias, the features are only available for experienced users, to test the features and configure them. Features will be available for newcomers starting on 20 September 2021.
- MediaWiki had a feature that would highlight local links to short articles in a different style. Each user could pick the size at which "stubs" would be highlighted. This feature was very bad for performance, and following a consultation, has been removed. [23]
- A technical change was made to the MonoBook skin to allow for easier maintenance and upkeep. This has resulted in some minor changes to HTML that make MonoBook's HTML consistent with other skins. Efforts have been made to minimize the impact on editors, but please ping Jon (WMF) on wiki or in phabricator if any problems are reported.
Problems
- There was a problem with search last week. Many search requests did not work for 2 hours because of an accidental restart of the search servers. [24]
Changes later this week
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 21 September. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 22 September. It will be on all wikis from 23 September (calendar).
- The meta=proofreadpage API has changed. The
piprop
parameter has been renamed toprpiprop
. API users should update their code to avoid unrecognized parameter warnings. Pywikibot users should upgrade to 6.6.0. [25]
Future changes
- The Reply tool will be deployed to the remaining wikis in the coming weeks. It is currently part of "Discussion tools" in Beta features at most wikis. You will be able to turn it off in Editing Preferences. [26]
- The previously announced change to how you obtain tokens from the API has been delayed to September 21 because of an incompatibility with Pywikibot. Bot operators using Pywikibot can follow T291202 for progress on a fix, and should plan to upgrade to 6.6.1 when it is released.

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
- iOS 15 has a new function called Private Relay (Apple website). This can hide the user's IP when they use Safari browser. This is like using a VPN in that we see another IP address instead. It is opt-in and only for those who pay extra for iCloud. It will come to Safari users on OSX later. There is a technical discussion about what this means for the Wikimedia wikis.
Problems
- Some gadgets and user-scripts add items to the portlets (article tools) part of the skin. A recent change to the HTML may have made those links a different font-size. This can be fixed by adding the CSS class
.vector-menu-dropdown-noicon
. [27]
Changes later this week
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 28 September. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 29 September. It will be on all wikis from 30 September (calendar).
- The GettingStarted extension was built in 2013, and provides an onboarding process for new account holders in a few versions of Wikipedia. However, the recently developed Growth features provide a better onboarding experience. Since the vast majority of Wikipedias now have access to the Growth features, GettingStarted will be deactivated starting on 4 October. [28]
- A small number of users will not be able to connect to the Wikimedia wikis after 30 September. This is because an old root certificate will no longer work. They will also have problems with many other websites. Users who have updated their software in the last five years are unlikely to have problems. Users in Europe, Africa and Asia are less likely to have immediate problems even if their software is too old. You can read more.
- You can receive notifications when someone leaves a comment on user talk page or mentions you in a talk page comment. Clicking the notification link will now bring you to the comment and highlight it. Previously, doing so brought you to the top of the section that contained the comment. You can find more information in T282029.
Future changes
- The Reply tool will be deployed to the remaining wikis in the coming weeks. It is currently part of "Discussion tools" in Beta features at most wikis. You will be able to turn it off in Editing Preferences. See the list of wikis. [29]

Recent changes
- A more efficient way of sending changes from Wikidata to Wikimedia wikis that show them has been enabled for the following 10 wikis: mediawiki.org, the Italian, Catalan, Hebrew and Vietnamese Wikipedias, French Wikisource, and English Wikivoygage, Wikibooks, Wiktionary and Wikinews. If you notice anything strange about how changes from Wikidata appear in recent changes or your watchlist on those wikis you can let the developers know.
Changes later this week
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 5 October. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 6 October. It will be on all wikis from 7 October (calendar).
- Some gadgets and bots that use the API to read the AbuseFilter log might break. The
hidden
property will no longer say an entry isimplicit
for unsuppressed log entries about suppressed edits. If your bot needs to know this, do a separate revision query. Additionally, the property will have the valuefalse
for visible entries; previously, it wasn't included in the response. [30] - A more efficient way of sending changes from Wikidata to Wikimedia wikis that show them will be enabled for all production wikis. If you notice anything strange about how changes from Wikidata appear in recent changes or your watchlist you can let the developers know.
Future changes
- You can soon get cross-wiki notifications in the iOS Wikipedia app. You can also get notifications as push notifications. More notification updates will follow in later versions. [31]
- The JavaScript variables
wgExtraSignatureNamespaces
,wgLegalTitleChars
, andwgIllegalFileChars
will soon be removed frommw.config
. These are not part of the "stable" variables available for use in wiki JavaScript. [32] - The JavaScript variables
wgCookiePrefix
,wgCookieDomain
,wgCookiePath
, andwgCookieExpiration
will soon be removed from mw.config. Scripts should instead usemw.cookie
from the "mediawiki.cookie" module. [33]
