Aoi, visit my talk page section of the same name to express your opinion — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.165.180.110 (talk) 15:45, 1 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@24.165.180.110: Hi, I'm not sure exactly what subject in relation to these articles you wanted to discuss. In any case, if the discussion deals with these two articles, it might be better to open a discussion on the article's talk page so others following the article may participate.

Administrators' newsletter – January 2019

News and updates for administrators from the past month (December 2018).

Guideline and policy news

  1. G14 (new): Disambiguation pages that disambiguate only zero or one existing pages are now covered under the new G14 criterion (discussion). This is {{db-disambig}}; the text is unchanged and candidates may be found in Category:Candidates for speedy deletion as unnecessary disambiguation pages.
  2. R4 (new): Redirects in the file namespace (and no file links) that have the same name as a file or redirect at Commons are now covered under the new R4 criterion (discussion). This is {{db-redircom}}; the text is unchanged.
  3. G13 (expanded): Userspace drafts containing only the default Article Wizard text are now covered under G13 along with other drafts (discussion). Such blank drafts are now eligible after six months rather than one year, and taggers continue to use {{db-blankdraft}}.

Technical news

  • Starting on December 13, the Wikimedia Foundation security team implemented new password policy and requirements. Privileged accounts (administrators, bureaucrats, checkusers, oversighters, interface administrators, bots, edit filter managers/helpers, template editors, et al.) must have a password at least 10 characters in length. All accounts must have a password:
  1. At least 8 characters in length
  2. Not in the 100,000 most popular passwords (defined by the Password Blacklist library)
  3. Different from their username
User accounts not meeting these requirements will be prompted to update their password accordingly. More information is available on MediaWiki.org.
  • Blocked administrators may now block the administrator that blocked them. This was done to mitigate the possibility that a compromised administrator account would block all other active administrators, complementing the removal of the ability to unblock oneself outside of self-imposed blocks. A request for comment is currently in progress to determine whether the blocking policy should be updated regarding this change.
  • {{Copyvio-revdel}} now has a link to open the history with the RevDel checkboxes already filled in.

Arbitration

Miscellaneous

  • Accounts continue to be compromised on a regular basis. Evidence shows this is entirely due to the accounts having the same password that was used on another website that suffered a data breach. If you have ever used your current password on any other website, you should change it immediately.
  • Around 22% of admins have enabled two-factor authentication, up from 20% in June 2018. If you haven't already enabled it, please consider doing so. Regardless of whether you use 2FA, please practice appropriate account security by ensuring your password is secure and unique to Wikimedia.

Administrators' newsletter – February 2019

News and updates for administrators from the past month (January 2019).

Administrator changes

added Enterprisey • JJMC89
readded BorgQueen
removed Harro5 • Jenks24 • Graft • R. Baley

Interface administrator changes

removedEnterprisey

Guideline and policy news

  • A request for comment is currently open to reevaluate the activity requirements for administrators.
  • Administrators who are blocked have the technical ability to block the administrator who blocked their own account. A recent request for comment has amended the blocking policy to clarify that this ability should only be used in exceptional circumstances, such as account compromises, where there is a clear and immediate need.
  • A request for comment closed with a consensus in favor of deprecating The Sun as a permissible reference, and creating an edit filter to warn users who attempt to cite it.

Technical news

  • A discussion regarding an overhaul of the format and appearance of Wikipedia:Requests for page protection is in progress (permalink). The proposed changes will make it easier to create requests for those who are not using Twinkle. The workflow for administrators at this venue will largely be unchanged. Additionally, there are plans to archive requests similar to how it is done at WP:PERM, where historical records are kept so that prior requests can more easily be searched for.

Miscellaneous

  • Voting in the 2019 Steward elections will begin on 08 February 2019, 14:00 (UTC) and end on 28 February 2019, 13:59 (UTC). The confirmation process of current stewards is being held in parallel. You can automatically check your eligibility to vote.
  • A new IRC bot is available that allows you to subscribe to notifications when specific filters are tripped. This requires that your IRC handle be identified.

Dexter's Laboratory

Attacking you because I stated the obvious truth? Reviewing the history page of that Dexter article, you claimed my edits didn't make sense and you was completely vague (in other words, subtle) about it. Explain why and then maybe I'll understand and stop. Simple. Why is that sooooo hard for you registered users? 68.197.237.168 (talk) 02:12, 8 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

IP, calling another editor an idiot in an edit summary is a personal attack. If you genuinely don't understand that, perhaps we should just go ahead and block you now. General Ization Talk 02:15, 8 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
And no, as Aoi advised you the phrase "with drastic changes to the art and background style instead of neither the previous seasons' cel animation nor original art and background style" does not make sense. "instead of neither ... nor..." is not a construction you will find in any book on English grammar, any more than you will find "you was completely vague" (also grammatically incorrect). Familiarity with correct English grammar is actually a requirement to edit articles here. General Ization Talk 02:20, 8 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Do not mimic me by quoting something I stated. And then you had the nerve to talk about me personally attacking people. Oh please. 68.197.237.168 (talk) 02:24, 8 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
See WP:BATTLEGROUND. Unless you start editing collaboratively and treating other editors civilly, we can arrange for some time off for you. This time, it will be longer than a month. General Ization Talk 02:27, 8 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
If you do that, then I'll simply change IPs or create a registered account and hide under it. Simple. Makes no difference to me, son. 68.197.237.168 (talk) 02:29, 8 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I think it will be easy to recognize you if you return. In the mean time, thank you for self-reverting. Now why don't we all go do something more productive? General Ization Talk 02:31, 8 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Whatever my guy. Sheesh. >:-( 68.197.237.168 (talk) 02:35, 8 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Zoey 101

How dare you revert my edits to that article without explanation? How dare you?!?! 68.197.237.168 (talk) 02:42, 8 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Hmm there was an edit summary, a really good one, with which I totally agreed, except for the last part since I have no idea what's in the source. Later, Drmies (talk) 02:46, 8 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Misleading AIV report

Refrain from making misleading AIV reports such as this. Sure I made an edit in error but not repeatedly and never had a warning contrary to the report you filed. Harmanprtjhj (talk) 12:24, 15 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Seeing as you blanked the majority of a high visibility page on my watchlist, and seeing as your talk page included a number of warnings, including a final warning about removing or blanking page content on January 5, 2019, I would not call the AIV report misleading. In any case, I am glad to see you have been unblocked. Aoi (青い) (talk) 21:55, 15 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Administrators' newsletter – March 2019

News and updates for administrators from the past month (February 2019).

Guideline and policy news

Technical news

  • A new tool is available to help determine if a given IP is an open proxy/VPN/webhost/compromised host.

Arbitration

  • The Arbitration Committee announced two new OTRS queues. Both are meant solely for cases involving private information; other cases will continue to be handled at the appropriate venues (e.g., WP:COIN or WP:SPI).
    • paid-en-wp@wikipedia.org has been set up to receive private evidence related to abusive paid editing.
    • checkuser-en-wp@wikipedia.org has been set up to receive private requests for CheckUser. For instance, requests for IP block exemption for anonymous proxy editing should now be sent to this address instead of the functionaries-en list.

Accusation of sockpuppetry

Hey Aoi, I want to ask you why did you undone my edit on Sweetener (album) page and why are you accusing me of sockpuppetry. SUPERSNAKE66 11 March 2019

Re: 21CF

For all intents and purposes, it is effectively defunct today, as Fox Corporation has begun trading.

Do we really have to wait for the clock to strike 12 and the ball to drop before we change "is" to "was"? Many of the statements now allude to properties that, as of today, are no longer part of 21CF. ViperSnake151  Talk  22:06, 19 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@ViperSnake151: On the same token, does it really hurt to wait just another five hours and fifty minutes when the transaction becomes finalized? To say that 21st Century Fox no longer exists as a corporate entity at this particular moment is simply not true. However, I don't have extremely strong feelings about this so if you want to change the statements from present tense to past tense, I will not revert you. Aoi (青い) (talk) 22:19, 19 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
By the way, I do greatly appreciate you bringing this to my talk page instead of reverting, like many of the editors that are rather blindly editing with Fox/Disney-related articles. Much thanks. Aoi (青い) (talk) 22:21, 19 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Skai

Hey aoi i'm sakhe123 i don't think i made a mistake with editing skai jackson's page Sakhe123 (talk) 23:49, 22 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Sakhe123: hello and welcome to Wikipedia. I don't think you necessarily made any mistakes when editing Skai Jackson's page. However, when you make edits to articles about living people, Wikipedia requires the edits to be backed up with reliable sources. In this case, you made claims about Jackson's height, residence, mother's name, and other details, but you didn't back any of them up with reliable sources. For biographies of living people, these types of details must be backed up with reliable sources. If you need help citing sources, please see Wikipedia:Citing sources, or you can ask me or another editor. Please feel free to insert the information back in the article as long as you cite a reliable source when doing so. Much thanks, Aoi (青い) (talk) 00:00, 23 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Skai

@Aoi may i ask how do i back up my editsSakhe123 (talk) 00:22, 23 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Sakhe123: just gotta follow the instructions at Wikipedia:Citing sources. In short, probably the easiest way to cite something if you're not using the Visual Editor is to use the the Ref Toolbar. When you're editing a page, right above the edit area is a small menu that looks like this:
You see on the top of the box there's the word "cite"? Just click on that, then click on "Templates" and select the template for the source you're using. If you're using a website, for example, just hit "Templates" and then click "cite web".
A new dialog will pop up that looks similar to the one above. Just fill in the web address for the source you are citing (and other relevant information like the website title, etc.), and hit "insert" and the tool will do the rest for you.
Just remember that you should use reliable sources -- so nothing self-published (no blogs, no Wikia, etc.), and it should preferably be an independent secondary source (for example, a news article from a reputable news source). Hope that helps! Aoi (青い) (talk) 00:48, 23 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

News and updates for administrators from the past month (March 2019).

Technical news

Arbitration

Miscellaneous

  • Two more administrator accounts were compromised. Evidence has shown that these attacks, like previous incidents, were due to reusing a password that was used on another website that suffered a data breach. If you have ever used your current password on any other website, you should change it immediately. All admins are strongly encouraged to enable two-factor authentication, please consider doing so. Please always practice appropriate account security by ensuring your password is secure and unique to Wikimedia.
  • As a reminder, according to WP:NOQUORUM, administrators looking to close or relist an AfD should evaluate a nomination that has received few or no comments as if it were a proposed deletion (PROD) prior to determining whether it should be relisted.

Administrators' newsletter – May 2019

News and updates for administrators from the past month (April 2019).

Guideline and policy news

Technical news

  • XTools Admin Stats, a tool to list admins by administrative actions, has been revamped to support more types of log entries such as AbuseFilter changes. Two additional tools have been integrated into it as well: Steward Stats and Patroller Stats.

Arbitration

  • In response to the continuing compromise of administrator accounts, the Arbitration Committee passed a motion amending the procedures for return of permissions (diff). In such cases, the committee will review all available information to determine whether the administrator followed "appropriate personal security practices" before restoring permissions; administrators found failing to have adequately done so will not be resysopped automatically. All current administrators have been notified of this change.
  • Following a formal ratification process, the arbitration policy has been amended (diff). Specifically, the two-thirds majority required to remove or suspend an arbitrator now excludes (1) the arbitrator facing suspension or removal, and (2) any inactive arbitrator who does not respond within 30 days to attempts to solicit their feedback on the resolution through all known methods of communication.

Guideline and policy news

  • An RfC seeks to clarify whether WP:OUTING should include information on just the English Wikipedia or any Wikimedia project.
  • An RfC on WT:RfA concluded that Requests for adminship and bureaucratship are discussions seeking to build consensus.
  • An RfC proposal to make the templates for discussion (TfD) process more like the requested moves (RM) process, i.e. "as a clearinghouse of template discussions", was closed as successful.

Technical news

  • The CSD feature of Twinkle now allows admins to notify page creators of deletion if the page had not been tagged. The default behavior matches that of tagging notifications, and replaces the ability to open the user talk page upon deletion. You can customize which criteria receive notifications in your Twinkle preferences: look for Notify page creator when deleting under these criteria.
  • Twinkle's d-batch (batch delete) feature now supports deleting subpages (and related redirects and talk pages) of each page. The pages will be listed first but use with caution! The und-batch (batch undelete) option can now also restore talk pages.

St. Louis Blues

You have made the page at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Louis_Blues factually incorrect by undoing the edits of 206.75.145.84 on 13-June-2019. The longest playoff streak in North American Professional sports history is the 34 year 1972-2005 streak of the Edmonton Eskimos of the CFL You can verify this for yourself, and should probably link to it. If you wanted to edit this to be the longest streak among the NFL, MLB, NBA, and NHL teams, that would be factual, but what you have reverted to is not.

You have also undone the edit regarding the scandal of the 1998 Stanley Cup final. The goal was not controversial -- it was not a goal. Replay clearly showed that. You could create a link to these facts. Instead you have chosen to bury the facts. Sad. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.75.145.84 (talk) 00:35, 15 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Responded on your talk. Aoi (青い) (talk) 01:05, 15 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I have seen your response, but you have not acknowledged your factual errors and have made the entry incorrect by your edits, and made it conflict with the following page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edmonton_Eskimos Please undo your reversion I have seen your comment that my expansion of 'controversial' is not neutral. It should not BE neutral. What happened was a verifiable scandal and should be noted with disgust. This page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018_NFC_Championship_Game is also unacceptable sanitization of factual events, but at least there is more detail given about the egregious error made there--and it was an error. Bettman's actions in awarding Dallas a Stanley Cup were not an error, but purposeful and excreable. 206.75.145.84 (talk) 23:38, 22 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Miscellaneous

  • Following a research project on masking IP addresses, the Foundation is starting a new project to improve the privacy of IP editors. The result of this project may significantly change administrative and counter-vandalism workflows. The project is in the very early stages of discussions and there is no concrete plan yet. Admins and the broader community are encouraged to leave feedback on the talk page.
  • The new page reviewer right is bundled with the admin tool set. Many admins regularly help out at Special:NewPagesFeed, but they may not be aware of improvements, changes, and new tools for the Curation system. Stay up to date by subscribing here to the NPP newsletter that appears every two months, and/or putting the reviewers' talk page on your watchlist.

    Since the introduction of temporary user rights, it is becoming more usual to accord the New Page Reviewer right on a probationary period of 3 to 6 months in the first instance. This avoids rights removal for inactivity at a later stage and enables a review of their work before according the right on a permanent basis.

The Bob The Builder Franchise Is Still In Production

The Bob the Builder franchise is still in production. Go to the WildBrain website and go to studios. It is still in production. It will renew for a 22nd season. 2601:C2:46E0:E985:95B1:E657:F8CB (talk) 06:38, 24 October 2019 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:C2:4100:46E0:C022:D6B9:A227:C9D5 (talk) [reply]

Reasons Why Bob the Builder (2015 TV series) Is Still Currently In Production

Here are the reasons why Bob the Builder (2015 TV series) is still currently in production.

1. The WildBrain website says that Bob the Builder is on the in production on studios.

2. It was going to renew for a 4th season of the reboot series.

3. It is still making more new episodes and specials.

4. It was supposed to air on Nick Jr. in the US soon with the reboot series.

5. The 2015 reboot of Bob the Builder is still currently in production.

I wanted to tell you all of this. Spencer M. Collins (talk) 17:22, 25 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Spencer M. Collins: Aside from the fact that you are evading a block, please note that items posted on Wikipedia must be verifiable. From the relevant policy, that basically means that "[R]eaders must be able to check that any of the information within Wikipedia articles is not just made up. This means all material must be attributable to reliable, published sources. Additionally, quotations and any material challenged or likely to be challenged must be supported by inline citations." You need to provide a source that shows that the show has been renewed for a fourth season, or that Nick Jr. was going to air the series. The link showing that Bob the Builder is listed as "in production" on the website might work, but speculating that this means that there is a fourth season or that there are new episodes and specials or that Nick Jr. will air these shows is not verifiable using that source. But in either case, you're currently evading a block and shouldn't be editing Wikipedia. You need to log into your original account and request to be unblocked there.

Administrators' newsletter – February 2020

News and updates for administrators from the past month (January 2020).

Guideline and policy news

  • Following a request for comment, partial blocks are now enabled on the English Wikipedia. This functionality allows administrators to block users from editing specific pages or namespaces rather than the entire site. A draft policy is being workshopped at Wikipedia:Partial blocks.
  • The request for comment seeking the community's sentiment for a binding desysop procedure closed with wide-spread support for an alternative desysoping procedure based on community input. No proposed process received consensus.

Technical news

  • Twinkle now supports partial blocking. There is a small checkbox that toggles the "partial" status for both blocks and templating. There is currently one template: {{uw-pblock}}.
  • When trying to move a page, if the target title already exists then a warning message is shown. The warning message will now include a link to the target title. [1]

Arbitration

  • Following a recent arbitration case, the Arbitration Committee reminded administrators that checkuser and oversight blocks must not be reversed or modified without prior consultation with the checkuser or oversighter who placed the block, the respective functionary team, or the Arbitration Committee.

Hello Aoi. Could you please control the last edits in the articles Love.Live.Life and Against All Odds (N-Dubz album)?

The article "Heartbreak on Hold"

Hello Aoi. I just noticed that an edit I made to an article, Heartbreak on Hold, has written next to it "Tag: Potential LTA". I had to look this up on Wikipedia, and saw from LTA that it means "long-term abuse", like from an editor who is evading a previous block. I looked at the article's edit history and saw you and User:Blueberry72 have had some trouble with the edits of one or a few anonymous editors because they were messing with the genres. I am not these other editor(s). I don't really care about genres or changing them, or Alexandra Burke as a singer too much. I have removed genres on articles before but only because they were unsourced or another anonymous editor added them without any explanation. On this article though, I did change the link of R&B to Contemporary R&B because I have seen a few editors say that all or most R&B made after the 1980s should be changed to that link. I removed the "Flatlist" templates and the "Duration" template from the infobox because both of these functions are built into the album infobox now, and I also made some of the tables match by adding the scope="row" function to the entries in them. I just wanted to tell you directly in case there was confusion. Thank you. 1.42.129.18 (talk) 13:42, 15 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, thank you for your note and I appreciate you reaching out. I glanced at your edit and it looked OK to me. I should note that the filter that tagged your edit as "Potential LTA" is not my edit filter so I'm not sure why your edit was tagged as such.

Saw your changes at Astor

Conversation with IP user who was evading a block for harassment.
The following discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it.

Well, saw what you insisted in your Encyclopedia. Those are the points... my observations :

1. The lead is too detailed for a lead, personally prefer simplified because it is repetition what in Chart summary is better explained the history, the steps in info chart are enough 2. Find strange leaving US$Number all together, like the space between because is easier to read so US$ 1,710,000.00 millions. Second onlythe symbol $ (This Article Cifrão could be good to you, north-americans, also) does not specify really that is United States Dollars, too general. You should observe, all ships' negotiations are done, based on USD. 3. The picture of frigate is better layouted left because a. all others are in left, b. as design background the vertical line of info chart makes a dent with line of picture below in RH. 4. Unfortunate Mário Camacho, a simple person, and ship observer in Funchal Madeira wrote that in his Blog and spread that at Facebook Group Ship Scrapping, ingenue people spread as news but it is not 5. Like articles shorter, too much text makes repetitive and confusing. For me the pics could be all withdraw because has commons gallery and info chart is enough, but if you want to make a bible in your wikipedia is up to you

I do not fight with wiki anymore... It is not trust, but who cares.... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.203.242.68 (talk) 14:11, 27 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

btw, this is also what I think of Wikipedia : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Katherine_Maher/Archive_1#My_Opinion_why_Finally_Wikipedia_is_an_End_for_me --2.203.242.68 (talk) 14:18, 27 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, thank you for your note: My responses follow:
  1. I'm not sure what you mean by "chart summary," but if you want to shorten the lead, that is OK with me. The reason I made the edit that I did was because the material in the first "history" section was originally written as the lead for the article. At some point, someone decided to remove the material from the lead and turn it into the new "history" section. However, the new history section was repetitive of information in the "service history" section in the article below. It's generally OK (and in fact encouraged) to state things in the article lead even if it's in the article, but it's unnecessary to have two sections in the body that are almost complete mirror images of each other. In addition, the lead as it was written yesterday ("MS Astor is a cruise ship auctioned by CW Kellock London in 15 October 2020 for US$ 1,710,000.00 million from previously Cruise & Maritime Voyages administration bankruptcy.") was inadequate – the lead should succinctly describe what's in the body of the article and clearly lay out what the article is about and why it's notable. IMO, Astor is better known as an operating cruise ship than as a ship that was sold at a random auction.
  2. In formatting the dollar amount, I used the format suggested in the Wikipedia manual of style – see WP:$, which suggests to include the "US$" only at the first instance a dollar amount is used as long as no other types of currencies are used in the article. I'm not wedded to this so if you want to change this to something that you think is more clear (e.g., add a space, add the "US$" in the body of the article), that's fine with me, as long as it's clear.
  3. If you want to move the picture of the German frigate to the left side of the page, that's fine with me.
  4. I accept your challenge of the source I added, which is why I did not re-add the source into the article. I'm not sure what else you're trying to say here.
  5. If you want to clean-up and shorten the article and remove pictures you feel are unnecessary, that's fine with me. I do not understand what you mean by "a bible in your wikipedia." Aoi (青い) (talk) 19:47, 27 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, AOI, found your explanations, mainly to point #1, confusing, but OK. If you said ok about removing the pictures, you can do. Chart I meant 'Info Box', everything in it is in lead as well, so repeated. Regards and good luck with your Wikipedia.--2.203.242.68 (talk) 11:05, 28 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The fact was ... that a group of prisoners building the Honolulu Courthouse overpowered their guards, took possession of gun batteries overlooking Honolulu, and attempted to open fire on nearby buildings? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Honolulu Courthouse. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Honolulu Courthouse), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.
