Welcome!

Hello, JustAGuyOnWikipedia, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as 1610-AM WPFP 929, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may not be retained.

If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{help me}} on this page, followed by your question, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

Hey there!

Hey, you left me a message which I forgot to get back to - how can I help? -- samtar talk or stalk 15:16, 21 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Samtar I wasn't the one who needed help, someone else edited my section JustAGuyOnWikipedia (talk) 18:35, 22 November 2016 (UTC).[reply]

Oh right - just going from this edit it looks like you needed help with something. Didn't want to leave you hanging! If you do ever need anything feel free to drop me a message -- samtar talk or stalk 18:38, 22 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Samtar Thx. I'll keep that in mind. JustAGuyOnWikipedia (talk) 18:41, 22 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: sandbox (November 22)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Liance was:
This is not a Wikipedia article, I believe you may have pressed the "submit" button by mistake. The submit button is for submissions to the article namespace only.
Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

Trouted

Whack!

You've been whacked with a wet trout.

Don't take this too seriously. Someone just wants to let you know that you did something silly.

You have been trouted for: no reason.

Experience required

Hello JustAGuyOnWikipedia (talk · contribs), I have noticed that you are asking for the rollback rights in Wikipedia. As you have only a few number of edits and experience, it is unlikely to get the permission you asked. Before asking permissions like this, try to gain some experience in editing the articles and go through the Wikipedia policies regarding editing and WP:Review. Best wishes.Jayabilla (talk) 18:31, 30 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Jayabilla Thx, I am currently working on getting more edits. JustAGuyOnWikipedia (talk) 20:30, 30 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Please also read WP:RFAV before voting in RFAs. Also, you must use the {{ping}} template to properly ping others. WikiPancake 🥞 15:51, 1 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Tech News: 2016-50

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

  • Users who have Yahoo email addresses could not use Special:EmailUser to send emails. This has now been fixed. Emails will now come from a @wikimedia.org address. Users who get an email from you will still reply to your email address and be able to see it. [1]
  • You can now see how many categories and pages there are in the categories in Special:TrackingCategories. This is to help you find pages that could need attention. [2]
  • Markup colours for reviewed and pending revisions in the page history and recent changes and logs now match Wikimedia standard colours. The "You have a new message on your talk page" notification will have a slightly different colour. [3]

Problems

  • Because of work on cross-wiki watchlists global renaming is not working. The plan is to turn it on again on 16 December. Global renaming was turned off for a while in late November and early December as well. [4]

Changes this week

  • The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 13 December. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 14 December. It will be on all wikis from 15 December (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 December 13 at 20:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Tech News: 2016-51

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

  • Because of the holidays the next issue of Tech News will be sent out on 9 January 2017.
  • The writers of the technical newsletter are asking for your opinion. Did you get the information you wanted this year? Did we miss important technical news in 2016? What kind of information was too late? Please tell us! You can write in your language. Thank you!

Recent changes

  • Administrators and translation administrators can now use Special:PageLanguage on wikis with the Translate extension. This means you can say what language a page is in. The Translate extension will use that language as the source language when you translate. Previously this was always the wiki's default language. This was usually English. [5]
  • Wikis connected to Wikidata can now use the parser function {{#statements: }} to get formatted data. You can also use {{#property: }} to get raw data. You can see the difference between the two statements. There are also similar new functions in Lua. [6]

Problems

  • Some abuse filters for uploaded files have not worked as they should. We don't know exactly which filters didn't work yet. This means some files that filters should have prevented from being uploaded were uploaded to the wikis. MediaWiki.org and Testwiki have been affected since 13 October. Commons and Meta have been affected since 17 October. Other wikis have been affected since 17 November. [7]

Changes this week

  • There is no new MediaWiki version this week. There will be no new MediaWiki version next week either.

Meetings

  • The next meeting with the VisualEditor team will be on 3 January at 20:00 (UTC). During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. See how to join.

Your new profile

Hi, your alternate profile: User:JustSomeHumorOnWikpedia just got picked up at WP:UAA. Apparently it contains the word "moron". Just mentioning. Snöggletög Nightfury Happy Christmas!! 12:42, 20 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Nordic Nightfury: It doesn't have the word "moron" in it. Perhaps that's another account? JustAGuyOnWikipedia: Is ONLINE. (Merry Christmas!!!) (talk) 00:14, 21 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry to butt in, but if you look carefully it does. JustSomeHumorOnWikpedia. You obviously didn't do it intentionally, so you've got nothing to worry about. I couldn't find any report in the revision history of WP:UAA though. AtHomeIn神戸 (talk) 01:16, 21 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I too encountered that... The edit may have been oversighted and deleted... Snöggletög Nightfury Happy Christmas!! 05:57, 21 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Problems

  • Editors who use Firefox 50 might get logged out or fail to save their edits. This is because of a browser bug. Until this is fixed you can enter about:config in the address bar and set network.cookie.maxPerHost to 5000. Firefox 50 is the current version of the Firefox. [12]
