Thank you ...

... for help in the deletion discussion ;)

DYK ... that the choral conductor Michael Gläser was called in to lead the Thomanerchor in Leipzig when its musical director Georg Christoph Biller fell ill?

I'm going to use him in the strange discussion about how to present German names on the Magnificat I was proud to present to begin 2021. Have a good new year! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:11, 11 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • When blocking an IPv6 address with Twinkle, there is now a checkbox with the option to just block the /64 range. When doing so, you can still leave a block template on the initial, single IP address' talkpage.
  • When protecting a page with Twinkle, you can now add a note if doing so was in response to a request at WP:RfPP, and even link to the specific revision.
  • There have been a number of reported issues with Pending Changes. Most problems setting protection appear to have been resolved (phab:T273317) but other issues with autoaccepting edits persist (phab:T275322).

Administrators' newsletter – April 2021

News and updates for administrators from the past month (March 2021).

Administrator changes

removed Alexandria • Happyme22 • RexxS

Guideline and policy news

  • Following a request for comment, F7 (invalid fair-use claim) subcriterion a has been deprecated; it covered immediate deletion of non-free media with invalid fair-use tags.
  • Following a request for comment, page movers were granted the delete-redirect userright, which allows moving a page over a single-revision redirect, regardless of that redirect's target.

Technical news

  • When you move a page that many editors have on their watchlist the history can be split and it might also not be possible to move it again for a while. This is because of a job queue problem. (T278350)
  • Code to support some very old web browsers is being removed. This could cause issues in those browsers. (T277803)

Cause and effect

Here. I have no idea what Causality dummy looked like at the time of deletion, but I'm pretty sure that most of those redirects had been around for a long time, targeting somewhere more reasonable (possibly Causality?). – Uanfala (talk) 21:47, 17 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Uanfala, that's an embarrassing mistake (overzealous Twinkle deletion). I'll restore them all and point them to Causality again. Thank you for letting me know! —Kusma (𐍄·𐌺) 22:11, 17 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I think I've got them all. Thanks again! —Kusma (𐍄·𐌺) 22:27, 17 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

new page request

Hi Kusma,

Any chance you can help start a page for Johann Joseph Doemling? Your native German language skills would be helpful to ensure an accurate translation.

Some information is available at https://wuerzburgwiki.de/wiki/Johann_Joseph_D%C3%B6mling; and carboxyhemoglobin.

Cheers, SloppyTots (talk) 21:12, 11 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

SloppyTots, I will try to write at least a stub, but I don't think I can do a proper article. I have stopped translating anything that I haven't verified with the sources myself, and the sources of the Würzburgwiki article are not accessible online. By the way did you know that James Lind was supposed to go on the second voyage of James Cook and was supposed to get £4000 for it? I have been meaning to dig up more on the backstory, but a slight mention is at A Voyage Round the World. Anyway, I'll let you know when I have something about Dömling. —Kusma (t·c) 21:58, 11 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
SloppyTots, I have made a start at User:Kusma/sandbox/JJD. I'll translate most of the Allgemeine Deutsche Biographie article tomorrow-ish, complete the "works" section and then probably declare it finished for the moment and move it to mainspace. Hope that's useful for you. —Kusma (t·c) 22:56, 11 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Kusma, thank you! That will be great. We also need to start a page for Josef von Fodor, obituary, but this can be done later. Since I'm relatively new to Wiki, several of the new pages I had attempted to start usually get merged or recommended for deletion. Found it better to work with a veteran editor. I briefly looked into the James Lind and Captain Cook connection. Seems like it'll be big news if it is indeed James Lind (1736-1812) and not James Lind (1716-1794)! One book and few webpages seem to indicate it is James Lind (1716-1794) based on the scurvy connection. Cook's voyage was 1772-1775, James Lind (1736-1812) had embarked on several voyages in the 1760s including Iceland in 1772 with Joseph Banks, timeline seems to work where it could be the case that another voyage was contemplated for 1772-1775. Whatever the case, this confusion is in alignment with historians agreeing that the history of the four James Linds is a complete mess due to the similar names/locations/medical achievements. I'll also invest some more time digging up more on the Lind (1736)-Cook connection in the days ahead. Cheers, SloppyTots (talk) 23:16, 11 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
It does seem interesting that Cook wanted to hire Lind as an astronomer. Only James Lind (1736-1812) appears to have a background in astronomy and meteorology.SloppyTots (talk) 01:19, 12 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
SloppyTots, there is no question that it was the James Lind born 1736. From Beaglehole's edition of Cook's journals, vol II, p. 913 "8 February . Royal Society , Minutes of Council . Dr James Lind recommended to the Board of Longitude ‘as a person who will be extreamly useful in the intended voyage for discoveries in remote parts; on account of his skill and experience in his profession, and from his great Knowledge in Mineralogy, Chemistry, Mechanics, and various branches of Natural Philosophy; and also from his having spent several years in different climates, in the Indies'.-R.S., Council Minutes, vol. VI, p. 131. 10" It was not really Cook but Joseph Banks who wanted Lind as part of his large entourage, and after Banks had failed to get his will with regards to the expedition ships of Cook's second voyage and decided not to go, they went to Iceland, the Hebrides and the Orkneys together instead in 1772. —Kusma (t·c) 08:31, 12 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Kusma, awesome! The same claim is in 10.1098/rsnr.1992.0025 as well. I'll integrate this in the Lind's page. Excellent observation. SloppyTots (talk) 13:53, 12 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
SloppyTots, Dömling article is done :) —Kusma (t·c) 21:10, 13 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Kusma, Danke schoen! Macht's gut SloppyTots (talk) 21:46, 13 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Nohra concentration camp

On 12 May 2021, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Nohra concentration camp, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that all inmates of Nohra concentration camp, the first Nazi concentration camp, were communists? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Nohra concentration camp. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Nohra concentration camp), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. 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.

German wikipedia, math

I saw your comment at ANI and it made me curious what was so bad about editing math there. (Purely a theoretical interest, as I don't speak German.) --JBL (talk) 18:30, 12 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

JayBeeEll, the thing that I really hate is they lowercase all proper name-derived adjectives. Essentially, they write "gaussian curvature", "riemannian geometry". Standard in German mathematical texts is to use uppercase for most name-derived adjectives, so it is "Riemannsche Geometrie". But "abelsche Gruppe" is very common and "noetherscher Ring" is also fairly common. This probably displeases people who want everything to be consistent. But consistently lowercasing everything looks terrible to me and makes me not want to contribute. So I don't. I should probably get over that but I don't want to. —Kusma (t·c) 19:05, 12 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Interesting, thanks! --JBL (talk) 23:25, 12 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
