Amino Acids, Response 13DEC2015
Hello DMacks! Thanks for catching my mistakes regarding the amino acid pages Histidine and Pyrrolysine. I added the links and fixed the sub-scripting as you suggested. When I get the chance to get to a PC with ChemDraw, I'll fix the images as well. Anything else you might suggest? Abuzzanco (talk)

Support request with team editing experiment project
Dear tech ambassadors, instead of spamming the Village Pump of each Wikipedia about my tiny project proposal for researching team editing (see here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IdeaLab/Research_team_editing), I have decided to leave to your own discretion if the matter is relevant enough to inform a wider audience already. I would appreciate if you could appraise if the Wikipedia community you are more familiar with could have interest in testing group editing "on their own grounds" and with their own guidance. In a nutshell: it consists in editing pages as a group instead of as an individual. This social experiment might involve redefining some aspects of the workflow we are all used to, with the hope of creating a more friendly and collaborative environment since editing under a group umbrella creates less social exposure than traditional "individual editing". I send you this message also as a proof that the Inspire Campaign is already gearing up. As said I would appreciate of *you* just a comment on the talk page/endorsement of my project noting your general perception about the idea. Nothing else. Your contribution helps to shape the future! (which I hope it will be very bright, with colors, and Wikipedia everywhere) Regards from User:Micru on meta.
Maybe you should not rollback my code in the word "leapyear"
Hi, DMacks:
When I fixed the some mistake of python code in "leap year", my code is rollback by you for the reason "Too much detail/WP is not a how-to manual". I'm software engineer, and I found many people don't known the history of "leap year", include the textbooks about programming in china. the wrong code is used for getting "leap year"(before 1582). So, I spend some time to study this question, and wrote the code which let more people know "leap year". can you allow the code is added to the context of "leap year".
It's my first commit in Wiki. :)
Best Regards
Jerry.Liu, Beijing, China
PS: I have add python code to bake of baidu. let more people knows the history of "leap year". My English is poor, maybe you can know what I said. hah.

What are the criterias to create a new page.
Hi DMacks,
I had modified the content of a page that i had recently created, however it was deleted on account of ambiguous promotion. However, i just wish to create a wiki page, that is just informational, nothing promotional. Please suggest how can i do so?

- Wikipedia:Your first article is a good outline of the process. But overall, you'll need to rely mostly on indepedent sources rather than a company's own website. For example, is there any company that doesn't claim that it is the first, most significant, and/or has groundbreaking contribution to its sector? That's actually key to demonstrating that the company merits an article at all...that it meets the guideline for corporate notability. It seems like you know a lot about this company; are you affiliated with it in some way? DMacks (talk) 06:48, 15 April 2016 (UTC)

Hello DMacks, I have started editing Wikipedia from few days now. I have noticed that this User:ArmaanShlok is continuosly removing contents and vandalising the article Qubool Hai without explaining. I have also noticed that when i reverted the edits of ArmaanShlok the User:Bobsques123 also reverted edits contributed by me without explanation, I think that these two accounts are handled by the same person like sockpuppetry I guess as I have read some rules on wikipedia before I started editing. I request you to pay attention to this. To verify check revision history of Qubool Hai Regards, ABCDEinfinity (talk) 11:24, 24 April 2016 (UTC)

Problems
- Wikimedia tested a new data center last week. This meant that the wikis could be read but not edited for 45 minutes on April 19 and for 20 minutes on April 21. [6]
- When the data center was tested, new edits were not shown in the recent changes log for 20 minutes. They are in the logs now. You can read more about how to find the edits.
- Unread notifications were sometimes counted incorrectly. This has now been fixed. [7]
Changes this week
- Wikimedia Commons will have better access to Wikidata. They can use data from any page on Wikidata on any page on Commons. This will happen on April 26. [8]
- It will be easier to choose if you want to watch files you have uploaded with the upload wizard. [9]
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from April 26. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from April 27. It will be on all wikis from April 28 (calendar).
Meetings
- You can join the next meeting with the VisualEditor team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on April 26 19:00 (UTC). See how to join.
Future changes
- The "Save page" button when you edit will be called "Publish" instead. This is to help new editors understand what it does. It already works like this on some wikis. [10]

force
In f= ma we write 'k' as constant but in F=GMm/r^2 we write 'G' as constant? Why? B viper BHATT (talk) 13:48, 26 April 2016 (UTC)
- I do not understand your question. Are you asking why there is a constant? Why it is a different letter? Why it is a different value? DMacks (talk) 06:20, 27 April 2016 (UTC)
Typo in Ellis drainhole figure file
Thanks for catching the typo "drsinhole" in File:The graph of the radius function r of the "Ellis" drsinhole.pdf. I agree that the file should be deleted.
(This a duplicate of the message I wrote earlier that mistakenly wound up under the headline "force".)
Turningwoodintomarble (talk) 17:57, 26 April 2016 (UTC)
- You're welcome! I removed the dup message. PDF is not really a good format here, maybe SVG or PNG? I can probably extract them from the PDF if you no longer have the orginal. DMacks (talk) 06:19, 27 April 2016 (UTC)
