Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available. Recent changes Syntax highlighting is now a beta feature on Wikimedia wikis with text written from left to right. It will come to right-to-left wikis later. This beta feature is based on CodeMirror. [1][2] You will now get a notification when someone tries to log in to your account and fails. If they try from a device or IP address that have logged in to your account before you will be notified after five failed attempts. You can turn this off or choose to get an email notification in your preferences. You can also turn on to get an email when someone logs in to your account from a new device or IP address. [3] Problems Some pages show the error Lua error in mw.wikibase.entity.lua at line 34: The entity data must be a table obtained via mw.wikibase.getEntityObject. This problem happens on pages with a Lua module that use Wikidata. This has now been fixed and no new pages will get this problem. You still need to fix pages that were broken before and still show the error message. You can see how on this page. [4] Changes later this week You can block users from sending you notifications. [5] The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 29 August. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 30 August. It will be on all wikis from 31 August (calendar). Meetings You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 29 August at 19:00 (UTC). See how to join. You can join the next meeting with the Technical Committee. The topic this week is Migrate to HTML5 section ids. The meeting will be on 30 August at 21:00 (UTC). See how to join. Future changes In the future you will have global preferences. This means you could set something in your preferences to work in the same way on all wikis. You will not be forced to use global preferences. The developers are now asking if editors need exceptions. This is where you want to use global settings on almost all wikis, but have some wikis where you want it to work in a different way. If you want this you need to tell the developers now. You can do so on the talk page. [6] New filters for edit review is a beta feature to improve recent changes pages. It will work on watchlists from 5 September. [7] The jQuery library will be upgraded to version 3 in September 2017. Wikis can ask on Phabricator to get it early, so they can help find and solve problems now.

I got that fixed. Best, Justinkidding Justinkidding (talk) 22:15, 30 August 2017 (UTC) Robert Eccleshall Queens University Belfast is in Northern Ireland, so that might be a more appropriate listing. Or just hedge best with "UK" - we don't know where he was born. PamD 08:04, 31 August 2017 (UTC) I saw the British in article categories.That's why I tagged England delsort.I've already changed delsort tag.I was replaced the United Kingdom in place of the England delsort tag.CAPTAIN RAJU(T) 09:04, 31 August 2017 (UTC) British is British, but not necessarily English. You can upset a lot of Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish people this way - not to mention the Cornish! Seriously, please don't assume that all of Britain is England. It isn't. PamD 12:02, 31 August 2017 (UTC) WikiCup 2017 September newsletter Round 4 of the WikiCup has ended and we move forward into the final round. In round 4, a total of 12 FAs, 3 FLs, 44 GAs, 3 FLs, 79 DYKs, 1 ITN and 42 GARs was achieved, with no FPs or FTs this time. Congratulations to Peacemaker67 on the Royal Yugoslav Navy Good Topic of 36 items, and the 12 featured articles achieved by Cas Liber (5), Vanamonde93 (3), Peacemaker67 (2), Adityavagarwal (1) and 12george1 (1). With a FA scoring 200 points, and bonus points available on top of this, FAs are likely to feature heavily in the final round. Meanwhile Yellow Evan, a typhoon specialist, was contributing 12 DYKs and 10 GAs, while Adityavagarwal and Freikorp topped the GAR list with 8 reviews each. As we enter the final round, we are down to eight contestants, and we would like to thank those of you who have been eliminated for the useful contributions you have made to the Cup and Wikipedia. The lowest score needed to reach round 5 was 305, and I think we can expect a highly competitive final round. Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 4 but before the start of round 5 can be claimed in round 5. Remember too that you must claim your points within 10 days of "earning" them. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. It would be helpful if this list could be cleared of any items no longer relevant. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to reduce the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck, and let the best man (or woman) win!

It will run for six months. You can learn more about the research specifics at meta:Research:Autoconfirmed article creation trial, while Wikipedia talk:Autoconfirmed article creation trial is probably the best venue for general discussion. Following an RfC, WP:G13 speedy deletion criterion now applies to any page in the draftspace that has not been edited in six months. There is a bot-generated report, updated daily, to help identify potentially qualifying drafts that have not been submitted through articles for creation. Technical news You will now get a notification when someone tries to log in to your account and fails. If they try from a device that has logged into your account before, you will be notified after five failed attempts. You can also set in your preferences to get an email when someone logs in to your account from a new device or IP address, which may be encouraged for admins and accounts with sensitive permissions. Syntax highlighting is now available as a beta feature (more info). This may assist administrators and template editors when dealing with intricate syntax of high-risk templates and system messages. In your notification preferences, you can now block specific users from pinging you. This functionality will soon be available for Special:EmailUser as well. Arbitration Applications for CheckUser and Oversight are being accepted by the Arbitration Committee until September 12. Community discussion of the candidates will begin on September 18.

I use the account "PeterMan844" to edit pages, and I am always using verifiable proof or citations to improve articles, but I had to post this request with my own IP address to avoid detection from a troll who continues to follow me around online. There's this annoying loser who keeps harassing me on message boards, posting abuse, and he has now followed me here, to Wikipedia. He is vandalizing my edits regarding Sylvester Stallone being an extra in films. He is doing this for no other reason than to harass me personally, because I talked about my beef with IMDb.com elsewhere, and this person is just stalking me based on information I provide about my Internet habits. He is using the alias "HaggisHeadS" here. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_Sidelong_Glances_of_a_Pigeon_Kicker&action=history Please help. This man is also sending people to my friend's house, because he got his address from a video we had on YouTube which has since been made private. He won't go away. He keeps spamming and abusing me on anxiety related forums that aren't regulated any more, but nobody signs in very often who can deal with the hassle. All the best! 82.37.113.92 (talk) 11:53, 3 September 2017 (UTC) Payoneer AfD Hi, I nominated Payoneer for deletion and pointed out that the references don't meet CORPDEPTH and/or ORGIND.

This has been done under section T2 of the criteria for speedy deletion. 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 removed 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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Fortdj33 (talk) 04:19, 5 September 2017 (UTC) New stub types Hello! Just a reminder, instead of creating new templates and categories for just one or two articles, please check the List of stub types, or under Category:Stub categories, to make sure that an appropriate stub tag doesn't already exist. Stub categories should not be created, unless there are at least 60 articles for a particular template, and new templates are usually unnecessary, if one already exists in the same genre. And before creating new stub categories and templates, please follow the procedures at WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals. Thanks! Fortdj33 (talk) 04:31, 5 September 2017 (UTC) I understood your advice.There was not stub for my article.Stub/template was needed for the article.That's why I've created some stub/template.CAPTAIN RAJU(T) 11:06, 5 September 2017 (UTC) The point is, there is a procedure for creating stub templates. You should not arbitrarily create stub tags, just because you think they are needed for a specific article. And even if a new stub tag is necessary, you should propose an upmerged template that would feed into currently existing stub categories, until such time that there are enough stubs for a separate stub category. If you wish to propose a stub type which does not currently have 60 articles that could use it, please do so at WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals.

Just dropping a note because I think it is generally a bad idea to move titles while an AfD is ongoing unless there is a pressing reason to do so like you did at David Coffey. This is mainly because if the article is recreated, it will probably be under the same title as the original AfD, so it could mess up the bot. It also has the potential to confuse AfD participants. I've moved the original AfD and cleaned the links up for now. Also, thanks for all the work you do with deletion sorting. It makes the process go a lot more smoothly :) TonyBallioni (talk) 18:22, 9 September 2017 (UTC) Thanks for noted.I will remember your advice.Thanks.CAPTAIN RAJU(T) 20:53, 9 September 2017 (UTC) This week's article for improvement (week 37, 2017) A small pond hockey field Hello, CAPTAIN RAJU.

Your account has been added to the "New page reviewers" user group, allowing you to review new pages and mark them as patrolled, tag them for maintenance issues, or in some cases, tag them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at the New Pages Feed. New page reviewing is a vital function for policing the quality of the encylopedia, if you have not already done so, you must read the new tutorial at New Pages Review, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the various deletion criteria. If you need more help or wish to discuss the process, please join or start a thread at page reviewer talk. URGENT: Please consider helping get the huge backlog down to a manageable number of pages as soon as possible. Be nice to new users - they are often not aware of doing anything wrong. You will frequently be asked by users to explain why their page is being deleted - be formal and polite in your approach to them too, even if they are not. Don't review a page if you are not sure what to do. Just leave it for another reviewer. Remember that quality is quintessential to good patrolling. Take your time to patrol each article, there is no rush. Use the message feature and offer basic advice. The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. In case of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, the right can be revoked at any time by an administrator. Alex ShihTalk 05:37, 15 September 2017 (UTC) NOTE: Please understand that your patrolling may come under close scrutiny and can be revoked again. The effort should be to use the purpose designed Page Curation tools rather than Twinkle - especially in view of the now live ACTRIAL. The instructions have also been updated, please read WP:NPP again. Thanks. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 05:46, 15 September 2017 (UTC) Speedy deletion nomination of Sexandroide 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. Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on Sexandroide requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content. 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 removed 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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Bonvallite (talk) 15:25, 15 September 2017 (UTC) I have unreviewed a page you curated Thanks for reviewing Sexandroide, CAPTAIN RAJU. Unfortunately Kudpung has just gone over this page again and unreviewed it. Their note is: Not ready for publication. Please consider developing the article in Draft space or your Sandbox.

Backlog update: The new page backlog is currently at 14304 pages. We have worked hard to decrease from over 22,000, but more hard work is needed! Please consider reviewing even just a few pages a day. Currently there are 532 pages in the backlog that were created by non-autoconfirmed users before WP:ACTRIAL. The NPP project is undertaking a drive to clear these pages from the backlog before they hit the 90 day Google index point. Please consider reviewing a few today! Technology update: The Wikimedia Foundation is currently working on creating a new filter for page curation that will allow new page patrollers to filter by extended confirmed status. For more information see: T175225 General project update: On 14 September 2017 the English Wikipedia began the autoconfirmed article creation trial. For a six month period, creation of articles in the mainspace of the English Wikipedia will be restricted to users with autoconfirmed status. New users who attempt article creation will now be redirected to a newly designed landing page. Before clicking on a reference or external link while reviewing a page, please be careful that the site looks trustworthy. If you have a question about the safety of clicking on a link, it is better not to click on it. To keep up with the latest conversation on New Pages Patrol or to ask questions, you can go to Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Reviewers and add it to your watchlist.

I'm just letting you know that I have removed the Autopatrolled flag from your account because your recent creations have issues that would be tagged by New Page Reviewers. This does not in any way affect your ability to create pages. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 01:33, 21 September 2017 (UTC) @Kudpung: May I know? Why you have revoked my autopatrolled user rights?I did not have time to complete a article.That's why I added new unreviewed article and in use tag. CAPTAIN RAJU(T) 04:04, 21 September 2017 (UTC) Articles by Autopatrolled users are expected to be ready for publication and have no tags or issuestha can be taged. The Autopatroled flag does not give users any special privileges or advantages and does not affect your ability to create articles.

Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 13:39, 21 September 2017 (UTC) Bean music Out of curiosity I looked at some of the above-mentioned films. It looks as if you created a lot of articles using a template or formula. What is "bean music"? I can't even think of a probable typo. Please fix this and take more care. Thanks. PamD 04:21, 21 September 2017 (UTC) Thanks for noted.It was my mistake.I fixed the bean music to been music from all my articles.CAPTAIN RAJU(T) 12:06, 21 September 2017 (UTC) But even the sentence "This film has been music composed by Erik Lundmark." (example from No Strings Attached (1997 film)) isn't good English. Do you mean "This film's music was composed by Erik Lundmark"? If so, say so. Please take the time and trouble to write clear English. Thank you.

Elections for the Military history WikiProject Coordinators are currently underway. As a member of the WikiProject you are cordially invited to take part by casting your vote(s) for the candidates on the election page. This year's election will conclude at 23:59 UTC 29 September. Thank you for your time. For the current tranche of Coordinators, AustralianRupert (talk) 10:39, 21 September 2017 (UTC) Hi Hi, CAPTAIN RAJU. I wanted to bring this discussion to your attention. Your dedication to the project is evident, and many of the background work that you have been doing (in relisting AfD discussions, for example) have been invaluable. But I wanted to emphasize that quality is always preferred over quantity, and if you are creating unreferenced pages with little indicator of notability as a Reviewer, it undermines the confidence of the community on NPP. So I am hoping that while you improve the quality of your content creation, you would also exercise extra care than usual over your patrolling, so that your Reviewer access does not have to be temporarily removed as well. Regards, Alex ShihTalk 15:28, 21 September 2017 (UTC) Thanks! Hi Raju, thank you for your comments at my RfA. Your support is much appreciated! ansh666 22:30, 22 September 2017 (UTC) Relisting AfDs.. Please review WP:NOQUORUM before relisting further AfDs.Thank you!Winged Blades of GodricOn leave 09:46, 23 September 2017 (UTC) Going to second this. Please don't relist AfDs for a third time without a good reason (for example, if someone adds new sources at the end of the second relist), and please leave that reason as a relisting comment - "last relist" is not a valid relisting comment, especially since someone already stated that there was no reason to relist the first two times and asked someone to close the discussion. Leave them to the admins - heck, you could have even closed that one yourself. I know I would have, had I seen it earlier. Thanks, ansh666 09:14, 26 September 2017 (UTC) I understood your advice. I will remember your advice.Thanks for helping me.CAPTAIN RAJU(T) 11:16, 26 September 2017 (UTC) A page you started (Le Plein de Super) has been reviewed!

Recent changes Wikitext syntax highlighting is a beta feature on Wikimedia wikis with text written from left to right. This beta feature is based on CodeMirror. You can now search through the entire article with CTRL+F or cmd+F when you edit. Before it just searched through a part of the article. The developers are also fixing a couple of other bugs. [21][22] Administrators on wikis that use Structured Discussions as a beta feature or by default can now create and move Structured Discussions boards. Structured Discussions was previously called Flow. [23] Changes later this week You now get a notification when someone tries to log in to your account and fails. If they try from a device or IP address that have logged in to your account before you will be notified after five failed attempts. For security reasons you will soon get an email by default when someone tries to log in to your account and when someone logs in to your account from a new device or IP address. This can be turned off in your preferences. [24] Users with extremely old browsers (for example Netscape 2–4, released from 1995–1997) which do not support Unicode will no longer be able to edit. They should try to install a new browser. [25] The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 26 September. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 27 September. It will be on all wikis from 28 September. (calendar). Meetings You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC.

Switching to the browser default has only changed the font on Macs. The option to use browser default will be removed this week.

Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available. Recent changes When you edit a template with the visual editor it follows the template's format configuration on how to save it. You can now change the format in more powerful ways if your wiki wants it. [35][36] The TwoColConflict extension is a new way to solve edit conflicts. It makes it easier to copy and paste the relevant text to the text field. It has been a beta feature for the last five months. You can now try out the new interface on a page where you will actually get simulated edit conflicts. You can give feedback to the developers. Problems There is a problem with recent changes pages and your watchlist that show a large number of pages. Until it is fixed, Wikidata edits will not be shown on recent changes or in your watchlist on Commons or Russian Wikipedia. If necessary, Wikidata edits will be removed from all wikis. [37] Notifications are not working for some actions. For example some users don't get a notification when they are mentioned. The developers are working on fixing this. [38] Users on some wikis could not change their preferences. This has now been fixed. [39] Changes later this week Editors and readers who still use Internet Explorer 8 on Windows XP will not be able to use Wikipedia from 17 October. Internet Explorer 8 on Windows XP can't connect securely to the wikis. When we allow them to do so it means that we get less security for everyone else.

Backlog update: The new page backlog is currently at 12,878 pages. We have worked hard to decrease from over 22,000, but more hard work is needed!

Thank you to everyone who participated in that drive.

This has been done under section R3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a redirect from an implausible typo or misnomer. 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 removed without delay.

I'd like to invite you to join us for Wikipedia Asian Month 2017, which once again lasts through the month of November. The goal is for users to create new articles on Asian-related content, each at least 3,000 bytes and 300 words in length. Editors who create at least four articles will receive a Wikipedia Asian Month postcard! Also be sure to check out the Wikipedia Asian Art Month affiliate event - creating articles on Asian art topics can get you a Metropolitan Museum of Art postcard!

The event is an opportunity for Wikimedia communities to engage The Met's diverse Asian collections onsite and remotely.
