HMS GRIMSBY Edit

Hello, I wrote the edit to the HMS GRIMSBY page as I was the captain of the ship at the time - how can I source personal experience? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pauld89 (talk • contribs) 13:20, 28 September 2020 (UTC)

Edit to HMS EXETER Page

You also deleted the text I wrote - I was the captain of the ship at the time - how do I source personal experience. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pauld89 (talk • contribs) 13:23, 28 September 2020 (UTC)

Hello, Pauld89.Please note that Wikipedia is encyclopedia which contains information that can be verifiable by reliable sources, I won’t revert your edits on that page since I know they are made in good faith but I know someone will, so equip the article with the sources needed.

September 2020 Casemate edit to fix a typo to improve readability

>September 2020 Information icon Hello, I'm Synoman Barris. An edit that you recently made to Casemate seemed to be a test and has been removed.

have a nice day

Golan.thanatos@gmail.com

Mhhh, sorry for that, feel free to remove the warning on your talk. I see it has been fixed now. Cheers --Megan☺️ Talk to the monster 16:34, 28 September 2020 (UTC)
@198.103.104.11: @Synoman Barris: I find myself agreeing with their logic. Aft would indeed seem the right term to me. I've for now reverted your reversion. Asartea Talk | Contribs 16:35, 28 September 2020 (UTC) Also, not sure if you have seen it yet but I also completed the next task for CVUA.
Thank you for fixing that Asartea, I’ll take a look at your CVUA page later today. Cheers Megan☺️ Talk to the monster 16:38, 28 September 2020 (UTC)

Erroneous bot.

I've removed an unsourced statement from the Amiga Walker article and your bot keep telling me to not add unsourced content to articles! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.143.5.129 (talk) 19:42, 1 October 2020 (UTC)

Stating a film was poorly received without adding any sources is defamatory and not allowed in an encyclopedia. Megan☺️ Talk to the monster 19:50, 1 October 2020 (UTC)
What?! What film?! It is a computer in the first place, and second it's not me who had made that statement about being poorly received: it was there since the beginning! Don't you understand, that i've removed a statement and not added?! There was a statement about the computer was compared to Darth Vader's helmet, but for 12 years, nobody backed that claim up with any source! That's i've removed it! And just for the record, your bot is erroneous! Now, that i've left the "citation needed" label there, your bot did not reversed my edit! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.143.5.129 (talk) 20:07, 1 October 2020 (UTC)

New page reviewer granted

Hi Synoman Barris. Your account has been added to the "New page reviewers" user group. Please check back at WP:PERM in case your user right is time limited or probationary. This user group allows you to review new pages through the Curation system and mark them as patrolled, tag them for maintenance issues, or nominate them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at the New Pages Feed. New page reviewing is vital to maintaining the integrity of the encyclopedia. If you have not already done so, you must read the tutorial at New Pages Review, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the deletion policy. If you need any help or want to discuss the process, you are welcome to use the new page reviewer talk page. In addition, please remember:

  • Be nice to new editors. They are usually not aware that they are doing anything wrong. Do make use of the message feature when tagging pages for maintenance so that they are aware.
  • You will frequently be asked by users to explain why their page is being deleted. Please be formal and polite in your approach to them – even if they are not.
  • If you are not sure what to do with a page, don't review it – just leave it for another reviewer.
  • Accuracy is more important than speed. Take your time to patrol each page. Use the message feature to communicate with article creators and offer advice as much as possible.

The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you also may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. In cases of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, or long-term inactivity, the right may be withdrawn at administrator discretion. signed, Rosguill talk 19:04, 28 September 2020 (UTC)

Overall you did good work, but I want to draw your attention to one article where I think you may have been insufficiently thorough, Stepanakert pogrom. While I think you were right to ultimately accept the article, there are some lurid claims, such as the claim that Armenians were poisoning wells and raping students, which are sourced solely to likely-partisan sources (in this specific case, [1]) that cannot be taken at face value. These claims should be marked with {{better source needed}} at a minimum. If you're in a situation like this, where the topic is likely to be contentious and you lack the language proficiencies or topic familiarity to be a thorough judge, you should consider tagging the article as a whole with {{expert needed}} and explain your position on the talk page. While it's not terribly effective at drawing attention from relevant experts, it will advise editors and readers to proceed with caution when reading the article. signed, Rosguill talk 19:12, 28 September 2020 (UTC)

Borat 2 move

What exactly did you want to talk about? Alvin kipchumba (talk) 06:46, 2 October 2020 (UTC)

Alvin kipchumba, Hello, thanks for reaching out. Well for a long time I have been looking for someone else prolific in the Swahili language. I agree that there is also a lot of things to do I.e cleanup especially with translating some templates there and removing non-Swahili words. I have studied the language having lived in the country during my early years and I know the language at a professional level. I guess we will be able to help each other out over there to avoid the project from being closed. Cheers Megan☺️ Talk to the monster 06:51, 2 October 2020 (UTC)

Wow that's is great so how will we start and where Exactly can we fix: wiktionary, wikipedia or.... Alvin kipchumba (talk) 07:00, 2 October 2020 (UTC)

Alvin kipchumba, The Wiktionary I guess, I tend to stay away from the Swahili Wikipedia at the moment Megan☺️ Talk to the monster 07:01, 2 October 2020 (UTC)
Alvin kipchumba, FYI, also made a request over at Meta, to be able to edit the Media Wiki interface, one needs admin rights of which I have requested over there Megan☺️ Talk to the monster 07:16, 2 October 2020 (UTC)

I am so excited,so should we increase the words or fix it Alvin kipchumba (talk) 07:04, 2 October 2020 (UTC)

User:Synoman Barris/CVUA/Asartea new section?

F5pillar, Yep, do that one later. I’ll assess the task when i get some time Megan☺️ Talk to the monster 07:05, 5 October 2020 (UTC)
Hello megan, hope you didn't forget about me in the CVU academy. 'Respect' (F5pillar---/ 'Messager🖋📩) 13:53, 12 October 2020 (UTC)

Hi, I changed the external link of an organisation (research group), because it now has a new website. I am a leading member of this research group, so I know that the new one is more relevant. The old website was wept online for historical reasons, but links to the new one anyway. Anyway, I do not see how this change contradicts with the guidelines about links. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hadry (talk • contribs) 10:44, 5 October 2020 (UTC)

Hadry, Hello, when making such changes to a website, it’s always better to use an edit summary, that why I undid your edit with an edit summary “possible spam?”. If that’s the official website then it’s allowed and feel free to re-add it. Cheers Megan☺️ Talk to the monster 10:47, 5 October 2020 (UTC)

Edit filter?

Hi, I was looking through the exam when I noticed that it uses the term "edit filter" multiple times. Did you mention this during the course as I'm not sure what it is? Also am I meant to make only one of the exams or both? Asartea Talk | Contribs 16:35, 6 October 2020 (UTC)

Asartea, Dammit, it’s my keyboard again. I have cleaned it up for you. Megan☺️ Talk to the monster 16:40, 6 October 2020 (UTC)

Luminar follow-up question

Thanks for your fast response. I had already edited the content to be more neutral, but wanted to be clear about comments on primary and secondary sources.

So, citing of patents is OK?

My secondary sources are solid, and the only problem with the page is neutral point of view?

Thanks for your feedback. Tlvernon (talk) 14:07, 8 October 2020 (UTC)

Tlvernon,Always a pleasure. Cheers Megan☺️ Talk to the monster 14:09, 8 October 2020 (UTC)
And yeah I don’t see if citing a patent is a problem as long as they are relevant to the subject of the article. Cheers Megan☺️ Talk to the monster 14:10, 8 October 2020 (UTC)

Scripts++ Newsletter – Issue 20

News and updates associated with user scripts from the past month (January 2021).

Hello everyone and welcome to the 20th issue of the Wikipedia Scripts++ Newsletter:

Open tasks

  • As a reminder, the legacy javascript globals (like accessing wgPageName without first assigning it a value or using mw.config.get('wgPageName') instead) are deprecated. If your user scripts make use of the globals, please update them to use mw.config instead. Some global interface editors or local interface administrators may edit your user script to make these changes if you don't. See phab:T72470 for more.

Miscellaneous

  • For people interested in creating user scripts or gadgets using TypeScript, a types-mediawiki package (GitHub, NPM) is now available that provides type definitions for the MediaWiki JS interface and the API.
  • A GitHub organization has been created for hosting codebases of gadgets. Users who maintain gadgets using GitHub may choose to move their repos to this organization, to ensure continued maintenance by others even if the original maintainer becomes inactive.

Pending requests Pending requests

As always, if anyone else would like to contribute, including nominating a featured script, help is appreciated. Stay safe, and happy new year! --DannyS712 (talk) 01:17, 3 February 2021 (UTC)

New Page Patrol newsletter September 2021

New Page Review queue September 2021

Hello Synoman Barris,

Please join this discussion - there is increase in the abuse of Wikipedia and its processes by POV pushers, Paid Editors, and by holders of various user rights including Autopatrolled. Even our review systems themselves at AfC and NPR have been infiltrated. The good news is that detection is improving, but the downside is that it creates the need for a huge clean up - which of course adds to backlogs.

Copyright violations are also a serious issue. Most non-regular contributors do not understand why, and most of our Reviewers are not experts on copyright law - and can't be expected to be, but there is excellent, easy-to-follow advice on COPYVIO detection here.

At the time of the last newsletter (#25, December 2020) the backlog was only just over 2,000 articles. New Page Review is an official system. It's the only firewall against the inclusion of new, improper pages.

There are currently 706 New Page Reviewers plus a further 1,080 admins, but as much as nearly 90% of the patrolling is still being done by around only the 20 or so most regular patrollers.

If you are no longer very active on Wikipedia or you no longer wish to be part of the New Page Reviewer user group, please consider asking any admin to remove you from the list. This will enable NPP to have a better overview of its performance and what improvements need to be made to the process or its software.

Various awards are due to be allocated by the end of the year and barnstars are overdue. If you would like to manage this, please let us know. Indeed, if you are interested in coordinating NPR, it does not involve much time and the tasks are described here.

To opt-out of future mailings, please remove yourself here. Sent to 827 users. 04:32, 16 September 2021 (UTC)

Reverted Edit on Method of Images

My edit was not test. I created one edit fixing an error in the page (it was inconsistent with the cited reference book). However I forgot to fill out the edit summary. So, following what was listed on Wikipedia's documentation on how to fix edit summaries, I created a dummy edit that included why the change was made.

Note your edit summary and that comment you added to the article was clearly a test . Cheers--Megan B.... It’s all coming to me till the end of time 10:04, 14 January 2022 (UTC)
