NPP Backlog Drive Appreciation

Second (SI unit)

You have undone my splitting of the article second, which referred to a clock time second, and has flip/flopped back and forth between this topic and that of an SI second, which is not the same thing. Since the contention cannot be resolved, and it is a shame that it can't, I've split the article for SI second off into its own article. While there is considerable duplication of content between the articles, I don't care about the article for second (SI unit), let someone else eliminate the duplication there. At least they have a place to work, and the article with title 'second' can be free of interference. So I am going to undo your redirect of 'second (SI unit)' to article 'second', and restore the article I split off. Sbalfour (talk) 23:11, 2 February 2018 (UTC)

Feel free to revert for now. I'm not sure how there's a need for separate articles; I'll comment on the talk page when I have more time to look at this. power~enwiki (π, ν) 23:28, 2 February 2018 (UTC)

Tech News: 2018-06

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

• Bureaucrats can now add and remove the accountcreator permission by default. This means the user can help create a large number of accounts, for example for an editathon. Wikis can change this if they want to. [1]
• The Wikidata vandalism dashboard is a new tool to monitor vandalism on Wikidata labels and descriptions. It is filtered by language. [2]
• Info pages for file pages now show the file's SHA1 hash value in the table of basic information. This is so users can see that the file is the same as the one they uploaded. [3]

Problems

• Special:Export has a higher error rate right now. This means that the export does not always work. You should check to make sure your page exports worked. The developers are working on fixing this. [4]

Changes later this week

• When you review an edit made with the visual editor you can check a visual diff of your changes besides the wikitext diff. If you pick one diff type it will remember and show you that in future. The visual diff will now be the type first shown to new users. [5]
• When you use a gallery to show images you can define the size, like gallery widths="150px". You could use em or % instead of px but it would make no difference. You can now only use 150px or nothing (150). If you write something else, instead of treating it like px, it will not work. [6]
• The wording when you send a thanks message will change. Instead of Yes or No it will say Thank and Cancel. It will also be easier to understand that all thanks are public. [7]
• Redirects connected to Wikidata can create double Wikidata items. There will now be a tracking category for this. Wikis that don't want it can disable it. [8]
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 6 February. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 7 February. It will be on all wikis from 8 February (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 6 February at 19:30 (UTC). See how to join.
• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 7 February at 16:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• The Education Program extension will be removed on 30 June. It is replaced by the Programs and Events Dashboard. [9][10]

Realtor.com draft

Greetings, Power~enwiki. On behalf of Move, I am still looking for a neutral editor to assist with reviewing a proposed draft to replace the current Realtor.com article. I have made many improvements and trims to the draft I put forth back in September, based on feedback from a few editors. I see you are an active editor and member of WikiProject Companies. I am curious if you might be willing to take a look at the proposed draft and copy over content appropriately. If not, I will try to find other WikiProject Companies participants who may be able to help. Thanks for your consideration. Inkian Jason (talk) 21:21, 6 February 2018 (UTC)

New Page Reviewer Newsletter

Hello 力, thank you for your efforts in reviewing new pages!

The NPP backlog at the end of the drive with the number of unreviewed articles by creation date. Red is older than 90 days, orange is between 90 and 30 days old, and green is younger than 30 days.

Backlog update:

• The new page backlog is currently at 3819 unreviewed articles, with a further 6660 unreviewed redirects.
• We are very close to eliminating the backlog completely; please help by reviewing a few extra articles each day!

New Year Backlog Drive results:

• We made massive progress during the recent four weeks of the NPP Backlog Drive, during which the backlog reduced by nearly six thousand articles and the length of the backlog by almost 3 months!

General project update:

• ACTRIAL will end it's initial phase on the 14th of March. Our goal is to reduce the backlog significantly below the 90 day index point by the 14th of March. Please consider helping with this goal by reviewing a few additional pages a day.
• Reviewing redirects is an important and necessary part of New Page Patrol. Please read the guideline on appropriate redirects for advice on reviewing redirects. Inappropriate redirects can be re-targeted or nominated for deletion at RfD.

Deletion discussion about Nellie Bowles

Hello, Power~enwiki,

I wanted to let you know that there's a discussion about whether Nellie Bowles should be deleted. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Nellie Bowles .

If you're new to the process, articles for deletion is a group discussion (not a vote!) that usually lasts seven days. If you need it, there is a guide on how to contribute. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

Thanks,

Mario is or Mario Is: A post-move discussion

Your talk page appears to be the appropriate location to restart the post-move of the Mario is Missing! article.

I came across an inconsistency in the capitalization between 'is' and 'Is'. When I investigated further, I found it difficult to determine which is correct as most references to this game display the title in ALL CAPS, with the Wikipedia community ultimately deciding to capitalize the 'i' as a standard format.

However, on the back of the box, the game is clearly printed as "Mario is Missing!" with the 'i' lowercase, and it is standard title formatting whether music recording, movie, or video game, to lowercase the word 'is'. Thus, there is sufficient evidence that the Mario Is Missing! article incorrectly capitalizes the 'i'.

I  disagree with the move of capitalizing 'Is', though the original discussion has closed. I therefore request to reopen the discussion, citing that the fore mentioned arguments hadn't been properly addressed before the decision was finalized.

Thank you for your time and consideration of this issue.
Christopher, Sheridan, OR (talk) 21:44, 10 February 2018 (UTC)

@DeNoel: I think the best approach would be to create a new requested move based on your arguments. Your claim doesn't contradict that MOS:CT says that "is" should be capitalized. Re-opening an RM that has been closed for over a week isn't something that I'm going to do here. power~enwiki (π, ν) 04:47, 11 February 2018 (UTC)

Thank you for your reply.

I already attempted to move the article once, but my request was auto-rejected, stating the page already existed and that I would need admin approval to proceed. That's as far as I got when I decided to dig a little deeper into the matter (and how I found my way here); I didn't feel using the Undo feature on your previous article move would be a prudent first-step. If you can point me to the page/process for admin-assisted article move requests, I would appreciate that.

Christopher, Sheridan, OR (talk) 05:22, 11 February 2018 (UTC)

See WP:RM, specifically Requested_moves#Requesting_a_single_page_move. You simply need to add the template with your rationale to a new section on the talk page. power~enwiki (π, ν) 05:26, 11 February 2018 (UTC)

Tech News: 2018-07

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

• TemplateStyles has been deployed to the Swedish Wikipedia. TemplateStyles is a feature to make it easy to add CSS to templates without administrator privileges. This allows for better adaptability to screen sizes, especially on mobile where are half our total page views. If your community would like to be the next to have the feature, please submit a task on Phabricator. [11][12][13]
• Registration pages now collect keyboard/mouse usage information for research on identifying spambots.

Changes later this week

• You can opt in to a new beta feature that lets you use visual diffs on history pages. [14]
• The visual editor shows and lets you edit templates in one way, and reference lists in another. This meant that templates that only contain a fake reference list, like {{reflist}}, would not get updated as you edited. Now they will update as you edit, but you will no longer be able to visually edit them as templates. [15]
• The abuse filter extension has a new feature contains_all that you may use to check if one or more strings are all contained in another given string. [16]
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 13 February. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 14 February. It will be on all wikis from 15 February (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 13 February at 18:30 (UTC). See how to join.
• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 14 February at 16:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• The settings page and beta options for the mobile website are being improved. [17]

I have unreviewed a page you curated

Hi, I'm SamHolt6. I wanted to let you know that I saw the page you reviewed, People's Open Network, and have un-reviewed it again. If you have any questions, please ask them on my talk page. Thank you.

SamHolt6 (talk) 01:04, 13 February 2018 (UTC)

I only reviewed it as part of an A7 tagging. I'll AfD it now. power~enwiki (π, ν) 01:22, 13 February 2018 (UTC)

Smart mattress

I redirected Eight Smart Mattress to Eight Sleep, and moved the smart mattress redirect to its own page as a stub. Do you think it should be renamed to Smart bed? It could be a potential article. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 20:29, 14 February 2018 (UTC)

A page you started (Timeline of the 19th century) has been reviewed!

Thanks for creating Timeline of the 19th century, Power~enwiki!

Wikipedia editor SamHolt6 just reviewed your page, and wrote this note for you:

Reviewed, thanks for creating such an extensive list, I will have fun reading it in it's entirety

To reply, leave a comment on SamHolt6's talk page.

Learn more about page curation.

SamHolt6 (talk) 05:44, 16 February 2018 (UTC)

@SamHolt6: I take credit for none of it; I moved it from 19th century, where I am taking a hatchet to it as it's not in paragraph form and contains a lot of trivial details. (note edit summary) power~enwiki (π, ν) 05:45, 16 February 2018 (UTC)

@Power~enwiki: Bah well you at least have alerted me to its existence. Cheers.--SamHolt6 (talk) 05:51, 16 February 2018 (UTC)

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

• The explanation of the abbreviations on the recent changes page could overlap with the list of changes. This has been fixed. [19][20]
• You can now see statistics for pageviews per wiki per country. You can see this on maps or in a table. [21]

Problems

• Linter is reporting estimated counts instead of actual counts for some wikis. This is because of performance problems. You might notice a false higher number in linter counts for some categories. This will be fixed as soon as the performance problem has been fixed. [22]
• Last week the way that Visual Editor displays references lists was changed. As a result, the references generated by specific templates like {{sfn}} are not visible in the references list whilst editing. [23][24]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 20 February. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 21 February. It will be on all wikis from 22 February (calendar).

Future changes

• The way edit summaries and log comments are stored in the database is being changed. In the future this will make longer comments possible. [25]
• Edit conflicts could be solved in a different way in the future. You can test a new prototype.

Toothless tiger

Whilst I agree that User:203.122.226.126 (talk) is a disruptive pain, I'm puzzled by what you think you might be achieving by posting this on their talk page. (Clearly, it achieved nothing. i.e. [26], [27] and [28]) Are you going to do something that might achieve something? (Anything?) Or are you leaving it to someone else?

Parliament post discusion

First of all forgiveness for having edited without control.

You are right in that in the section of Origines it is good to name the Nordic parliaments, but in my opinion they can not be considered the first ones. I have read the sources, and they do not have the same validity as UNESCO.

The first source you have put is a web page about Nordic history, but that does not ensure that they were really the first parliament. The second source is a PDF that only states that they were the first, but that says absolutely nothing, it is not an old document or historical proof, and the same happens with the Sicilian Parliament (discussed further in the discussion box) and with the remaining Nordic Parliament, are unreliable sources. And the first paragraph directly lacks a source, you can not take that as true, either.

The UNESCO organization through the Leon Decree (which are old documents) affirms that it was the first Parliament that is known today in an officially documented manner.

Please tell me your use of the nacc tag had nothing to do with me...please!

Hi Power~enwiki,

I see that you used the nacc tag (never knew it existed, but might use it now) at ANI before your comment. Can I ask why you did that? Thank you and regards, --Malerooster (talk) 01:31, 24 February 2018 (UTC)

Nothing to do with you. When dealing with new editors who are complaining at AN/ANI, I sometimes find it useful to make clear to them that I definitely can't help even if I wanted to. power~enwiki (π, ν) 01:37, 24 February 2018 (UTC)

Interesting and thank you. Yes, that makes sense. I had added the nac tag to a closure above, which I think is appropriate and can be helpful as well, and was reverted so I thought it might be related. I guess not everybody is out to get me ;), cheers, --Malerooster (talk) 01:45, 24 February 2018 (UTC)

My generic ANI advice is: "Nobody has ever helped their own cause in any way by participating at ANI. Even non-controversial edits have a way of getting people into trouble." power~enwiki (π, ν) 01:47, 24 February 2018 (UTC)

lol, very true. As "they" say, no good deed goes unpunished. --Malerooster (talk) 02:08, 24 February 2018 (UTC)

HA!

Ok, so your typo fix was obviously.... well fuck that anyway: Does the community consider it cool for me to make a fix like that on a closed AN/I? I lurk it a couple times a week, but I'm not trying to be a real participant until I get a much better handle on this. Gabriel syme (talk) 06:27, 24 February 2018 (UTC)

It's generally discouraged to edit other people's comments, though if it's prominent and annoying enough nobody will object. Also: "Nobody has ever helped their own cause in any way by participating at ANI. Even non-controversial edits have a way of getting people into trouble." power~enwiki (π, ν) 06:29, 24 February 2018 (UTC)

That"s fair. I just scan those closing summaries and I hate to see an easy typo in them, those people are some of the true soldiers, I want them to look good. Gabriel syme (talk) 06:39, 24 February 2018 (UTC)

About ZenCash Notability

There is confusion between ZenCash and ZCash because although both come from the same branch and use the same zk-SNARKs protocol, they have differences in their configuration, the main difference is ZenCash is focused on encrypting messages and publishing data.

For the development of this article I used the article published by the Univerisity of South Carolina.

https://www.sc.edu/study/colleges_schools/moore/about_the_moore_school/news/2017/zencash.php

Here, they explain the reason why Zen Cash is innovative giving a unique service to messaging and data-sharing.

“What we’re trying to do is not only create a system that allows for secure and anonymous transactions, but also extend that to messaging and data-sharing, which has never been done before,” she said. “The entire point of the Zen system is to allow any sort of data, monetary or otherwise, to be transacted in a secure, near-instantaneous way.”

As many other Wikipedia Cryptocurrencies articles as Bitcoin; I use the White Paper as the main reliable article to obtain information about its foundation. This strictly follows the info-box cryptocurrency template proposed by Wikipedia.

Problems

• Last week's MediaWiki version was rolled back because of a bug. [30][31]

very much my bad

That is absolutely on me for not reading the big fat notice at the top of the page. Thanks for reverting my mistake. Um, I hope it's not out of line, is the argument sound? How could archiving those sources slow down performance? Gabriel syme (talk) 06:56, 27 February 2018 (UTC)

I'm not sure of the exact details. At some point the text editor starts to lag based on the amount of wiki text. As a rule of thumb, I try to keep pages under 350KB if at all possible. There's also increased bandwidth for readers, but that's generally trivial. power~enwiki (π, ν) 07:00, 27 February 2018 (UTC)

Ok, that's fair, I've noticed when I have to edit a lead (editing the entire article source, is there a way to edit the lead as it's own section?), I do get massive slowdown on big articles. Admittedly, my system is pretty antiquated... oh wait that's why. I would be interested in the gritty details though. Gabriel syme (talk) 07:10, 27 February 2018 (UTC)
